Tliere’h a Sigh that tells ol Sorrow. »I CAT* aMKL (!. W ATSRXA.X. There's a sigh that tells of sorrow, Tho’ lire lip anil eve bo Ray, For tiro heart aces no to-morrow Thro’ the darkness of to day. If ye wound a lender (lower That but lives in love and light, Con ye find the after power That may chase away its blight 1 So, when love's young have faded As the flower hues deport, 'Tin a sunny pathway shaded To the temple ol the heait. And yet shadows on it linger, That but whisper of tho past. And still point with unseen linger, To bright j ys that could not last. i is for this the silent sadness Steal the rosea from the check, ’i’ls fur this the lip of gladness Tacks the power of joy to apeak, Tho’ the smiles of life around us, There's a chain upon the heart. Whose clanklcss fellers wound us, Winch we cannot rend apart. “Mid the lighted halls of pleasure, Thro’ n H Pcans, wild and high, Tike fond music’s dying measuie, Ye may hear that heart lone sigh. Vo may list it at the "Ahr, met the plighted twain, For one wounded heart may (alter, ’.Mong the hap,.y bridal train. When all else is still and lonely, And the calm of thought is by, Ve may mark that stillness, only Broken by one gentle sigh. ”l'is a sigh that tells of sorrow, Thu’ the lip, and eye he gay, For the heart sees no to,morrow, Thro’ the darkness of to day.

Would be more welcome, and excite loss dread. I Message , O/Z/ri Excellency PIERCE M. HUTLER, to the Jxgitlalure of South Carotin n, at the ( Extra Session, IHJH. i Pollute Citizen/ of the Senate t anti House us Representatives : In exorcising, at Ibis season, my constitutional authority ol'convoning tho Legislature, I tan as sign no other considerations in vindication of tho propriety of my course, than such as have alrea dy addressed themselves, with melancholy force, i to the heart of every citizen in the S.alo. Tho j le v suggestions I shall oiler arc submitted with i alt the deference that is duo to the superior wis- | Uom of the body that I have the honor of address- , tug. They are impressed upon my mind by | much and anxious reflection on the results that j may flow from the calamity that Inis brought us ( together. The whole planting and commercial interests of our country are involved in those of ( Charleston. Hire is our seaport, our emporium, our pride. Bhe is the veiv heart ol out great Western Kail Ruud, the millet and channel of * •n oui illuvv iuipxniiwH trade, A check to her * prosperity is a blight upon tho health,the strength, 1 the glory of the whole Slate. It is not my desire to awaken yom sympathies J hy a detail of individual sull'ering, great as it may he; nor by painting tho melancholy scene of irro sistiklc destruction which I witnessed upon spot. A general summary ol'lhe extent of this disaster is enough. One hundred and forty-live acres, of tho richest part of Charleston, are now J,', clothed in ruin. Properly lo the value «f three or four millions has been utterly destroyed, a vo ry small portion of which was insured out of the vv city. Home of the Insinaiicu OlHcis will exhaust n their whole capital, the portion of orphans and j, widows, to moot their liabilities; and the loss lias ,', fallen severely upon all. One thousand buildings in a commercial part of die town are levelled to the ground. Five thousand souls are driven , from tho shelter of their homes) of whom a largo portion nro without employ incut, and perhaps g ono thiid without the means of obtaining daily v biead except Irom charily. I’ho total unnihila- ( lion of the resouiees of men In business, will drag into the common ruin, their creditors wbo have () aided thorn with funds, for tbo prosocuiiou of j their useful occupations. It is dillieull to eatt* s , mate tho number of those, ns well wi bout, as s within tho city, who may bo saved from tho j hopelessness of utter destitution by tho timely proffer of your helping hand. As our mother City, consecrated in tbs aflec- t tion of every patriot by tbo proudest associations | of his country’s history, Charleston is entitled to i the pious care and filial regard of tho State. a|i nation loses caste that will abandon the objects of ; its ancient pride and veneration, and becomes | i degraded in its own eyes, and before tho world. | , Whether the citizen consults his glory or his in- 1 | tercsis, the fate of the metropolis is Ins: her pros- ( pcriiy is his prosperity, —her decay is his disgrace , and shame. 1 have already hinted at the probable olfoets of the late calamity upon the prospects of our great Rad Road, and of the noble scheme of Direct Importations. These two may indeed bo regar ded as une grout engine lei the exchange of the wealth of Europe and tho West; reaching with one arm over the declivity ol mountains, with the other surmounting the no less formidable bar., tiers of established custom Are not these truly national institutions!

Shall South v'aiolina now bo tbe first to abandon them I But Charleston is the centre of their existence, from her clone they can derive life and useful activity. If see pines unaided, they 100 must dwindle and decay; if she sinks, they must fall with hei rum, leaving only their memory as a lasting reproach to the weak vanity that in so grand a project failed so miserably. Public and private sympathy have nobly per formed their otlice by munificent contributions fur the ruhef of those who are reduced lo wan*. Disdaining the calculations of sordid policy, and yielding lo the generous impulse of an elevated social feeling, rival cities have advanced with prompt magnanimity to the relief of Charleston. From almost every Stale in th ■ Union, and more especially, from every city and village in the State ol Cieorgia, the most substantial evidence has been received of a deep (baling for our af fliction. But all that eburitv can eS'aci is the re., lief of individual distress, TnousainT have been contributed, but thousands cannot replace the loss of millions. To the energy and wive liberality of tiie Stu'e we must look to repair the damage and erase the vestiges ol ruin.

Executive Department, / Coyz-MoiA May 88, liDB j % Coupe a.—Wo have recently heard nh-J ti anecdote of this gentleman, which we do not re- ii member to have seen in print.

When they are laugh rng, they are only playing tho fool, and so long as they are playing iho fool, we can make our selves easy that they arc not playing the devil. Uoys will be doing one or the other." A Pilguim.—Among the passengers in the ship Susquehanna, recently arrived at this port from Liverpool, was Miss Harriet Liver more, who will bo recollected by most of our readers as a zealous preacher. This lady, about two years since, left Philadelphia to go to Jerusalem. She went, lurrying a short time ut London, touching at Gibraltar, Malta and thu intermediate places, and abode for some lime in the Holy City, sitting in the sepulchre “whore the Lord was laid,” wandering in the Valley of Jchosophat, climbing the Mount of Olives, fording Kedron, lingering in Gethso mane, and journeying round places consecra ted lo Christian sympathies and biblical re miniscences, Whore David sung and Jeremiah wept.

Tho comba tants met, pistol in band, and each attended by a female second. Tho German was furious, and insisted lighting muzzle to muzzle; but tho F ench woman, legulaled her conduct by the advice of her second, stood out for twenty five paces. They tired together, and missed. The Dorman then insis ed on itieir approaching, and firing until ei. iher fell. Tho seconds, however, now interposed, and declaring that the laws ol honor were satisfi ed, look away the pistols, and the affair ended; but without any apology.

Afier having laughed at the process of burning, which they believed was to cook the coral for food, what was their astonishment when in the morning they found (he missionary’s cottage glittering in the rising sun, white as snow! They danced, ihey sung, they shouted, they screamed for joy. The whole island was soon in commotion, given up to wonder and curiosity. The bon ton immedi ately voted the whitewash a cosmetic and a Kaly dor, and superlatively happy did many a swarthy coquette consider herself could she but enhance her charms by a dab of the white brush. And now party spirit rim high, as it will do in more civilized countries, as to who was or who was not entitled to preference. One parly urged their superior rank and riches; a second got the brush and were determined at all events to keep it; and a third to overturn the whole, that they might obtain some of (ho sweepings. They did not scruple to rob each other of the little share that some had been so happy as to procure. Uul soon new lime was prepared, and in a week not a hut, a domestic utensil, a war club, or a gar ment, but was white as snow; not an inhabitant hut what hud his skin painted with the mostgros leque figures; not a pig but what was similarly whitened ; and even mothers might bo seen in every direction capering with extravagant ges, lures, and yelling with delight at lire superior beauty of their whitewashed infants,— English, paper.

He says, when I got over any knotty difficulty in a story, or have Lad in former times a passage in a poem, it lias al ways been when 1 first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me. This is so much the case, that 1 am in the habit of relying upon it and saying to myself when 1 am at a loss, “wo slial have it six o’clock to morrow morning.” If I have forgot a circum stance, nr a name, or a copy of verses, it is the same thing. I think the first hour ot the morning is favorable also to bodily strength. Amongst ether feats, when I was a young man I was able to lift a smith’s anvil, by what is called the horn !—but I could only do this be fore breakfast-and required my whole strength undiminished by the least exertion. [son THE CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.] Obituary. Departed this life on the morning of the 22d inst. at die residence of her father, Capt. William Rountree, in Barnwell District, S. C. t after an illness ot several months, Mis. Elizauetu A. Wood, in the 22d year other age. By this afflictive dispensation of Providence, two small children (one ol them only twenty lour hours old,) have been deprived at this early age of a fond and devoted mother’s care ; a bereaved husband has been called to mourn the loss of a most affectionate wife; a father and mother of a dutiful daughter, several brothers and sisters of a kind and attentive sister, and many relatives and friends of one whose amiable qualities had en deared her to them. Under the severe bereave ment which they have sustained, her mourning family and friends look for consolation to the only source from which it can he derived—the promises of the Gospel. Altho’ she had not professed to be a follower ol Uhrist; but a few weeks before her death she realised a change of heart, when she bid tile monster death welcome—so certain was she of a blessed immortality—and the mourn - ing family and friends cherish the delightful hope, when their earthly pilgrimage too shall been finished, ol meeting her again, to be sepa rated no more in that world, Whore pleasures dwell without alloy, And joys that never fade. Affliction constitutes a portion of man’s irihrr hence. It is the decree of Deity that human life, comforts and connections must have an end.— Such is the voice of reason. Therefore we should strive to prevent the heart from sinking under the weight of grief imposed by the death of near and dear relatives. It is, also, the decree of God that life and immortalily shall crown the just and faithful steward, when he has fought ihc good tight, and finished his course. Such is the voice of Revelation. The recollection of the Christian's reward (more to be desired than alt tho glittering honors of the vain world) forms much consolation to hei bereaved relatives and friends. to m ja erwalu* * B * aSH ’ r Augusta Market.
