Oglethorpe was horn at Godaiming, proba bly Dec. 21, 16S8. Of his early childhood nothing is known. At the age of 16, we find him entering Oxford; but having a passion for arms, he very soon left the walks of litera ture. In 171-1 he was in command ofthe first j given by Mr. Wesley, shows that lie wat ac cessible to judicious reproof. “ Mr. Wesley hearing an unusual noise iu the cabin of General Oglethorpe, stepped into inquire the .cause ol it. On which the Gener al thus addressed him; ‘Mr. Wesley,yon most excuse me. 1 have met with a provocation too much for a man to bear. Yon know that the only wine I drink is Cyprus wine, as it agrees with me the best of any. I therefore provided nivself with several dozens of it, and this villain Grimaldi,’ (bis foreign servant, who stood trembling with fear) - has drunk up the whole of it. But I will he revenged otLhim.

We have enjoyed the delights of a sleigh-ride, bare-back, a crate-ride, a plank-ride, a coach-ride, a cider-mill-ride, and sundry other varieties. More recently we have ridden in a cab, in a stage-coach, an omnibus, a rail-road car, and a—no, we have never had a ride in a balloon or on a rail. But there is, it seems, yet another kind of a ride, which we had never even heard ot —a straw ride. It is found, we learn, in New Jersey, and is tints described by a correspon dent of the Boston Post, who writes from our pleasant sister city, Newark. “Some quite respectable and very pretty young ladies invited me (knowing that 1 am a confirmed bachelor) to accompany them on a straw ride. I accepted the invitation, though what a straw ride might he 1 could not con jecture. At the appointed hour, next day, l From the Rochester Daily Advertiser. A Joyful Surprise.

While in the exertise of Ins duties in this situation, his fine figure, soldierly deportment, and personal bravery attracting the notice of the Duke of Mailhoroush, he was so highly recommended to Prince Eugene, that he was immediately received into his service. At the siege of Teineswater, which filled not only Germany, hut all Europe with joy, Oglethorpe acted as the Prince’s Aid De Camp. He was also with Prince Eupene, at the cel ebrated battle of Belgrade, in 1717, soon after which, be returned to England, not liein? de sirous of continuing in the army in a time of peace. In 1722 he was elected to Parliament, where he continued through various administrations, for thirty years, distinguishing himself by ninny able speeches. He seems to listve been the pioneer ot the celebrated Howard, iu amel iorating' the condition of the prisoner, for about 172S be introduced into the House of Commons a resolution to inquire into the state of the jails of the metropolis, his attention hav ing been called to the suhject, and his feelings keenly awakened by seeing a gentleman in the Fieet prison loaded with irons. In June 1732 the letters patent for settling Georgia were obtained, and ns early as Nov. 16, of the. same year, the emigrants, accompa nied by Gen. Oglethorpe, and Rev. H. Herbert, embaiked in a gallery of'200 tons burden, cal led the Ann. On the 13th Jan. 1733, they nr rived at Charleston, where they remained but about ten hours, and proceeded on their voy age to Beau fort. Gen. Oglethorpe and Capt. Bull, leaving the others at this place, pro ceeded by themselves, and on the 21st Janua ry, for the first time, ascended the Bluff at Savannah, called by the Indians, Yatnncraw. Having fixed upon Ynmacravv as the site of the future city, the emigrants were all brought tip and immediately commenced the erection of suitable habitations. The deportment of the General was such as Co render him beloved by all the emigrants, who generally greeted him with the endear ing appellation of Father, Well did he de serve tlie epithet. Iu all their difficulties he was their umpire, and his decisions were sel dom objected to as unsatisfactory or partial. Having established order iu the colony, in 1731 he returned to England, taking with him several Indian chiefs, among whom was Tomo Chichi, who were presented to their Majesties. He succeeded in the object of his visit to England, and returned again to Geor gia in 1735, accompanied by the Rev. Charles Wesley, clergyman of eminent piety, as also by a number of hardy and industrious High land emigrants. He thus continued to labor for the welfare of the colony, crossing and re crossing the Atlantic seversil times for its ben efit, at all times devoting himself most sedu- nnsly to its interests both with his sword on the battle field, and his wisdom in the council chand>er, watching over its feebleness, and cherishing its growth, till it no longer needed his fostering care, when he removed to Godnl ming, on the 15th Sept, united himself to Miss Elizabeth Wright. From this time he resided principally at Cranlmm Hall, which he be came possessed ot by his marriage, in the en joyment of uninterrupted health, ihe posses sion of worldly competence, and those heart cheering comforts which he was so eminently qualified to enjoy. The retention of his eyesight was rcnmrka hie. and our plate represents him as reading without spectacles, the catalogue at the sale of Dr. Samuel Johnson’s Library, but a few months before his death, which took place on the 30th of Jnne, 1785, at 97 years of age. Notwithstanding the General was said by some to be passionate, the following anecdote, wagon. Tlie inside of the body, which was set upon the axietrees without the interven tion ot Springs, was partly tilled with nice clean straw ; over this, buffalo skins ware spread, and altogether the affair looked pretty comfortable. The young ladies had invited some of their friends, including a young gen tleman of tlie city, so that we made a party of about a dozen. All being ready, we proceeded to the scene of action. Here a nice manoeuvre was neces sary iu order to pack us all iu, in good shape. First, a lady on one side sat down on the bot tom ; then one opposite, the feet ofeach touch ing the sides of the wagon. in this way we got in onr cargo ; myself being placed about the middle, and the other masculine at the ex tremity of tlie wagon. Here was a pretty fix, to be sure ! Such a mingling of limbs! 1 suggested the propriety of chalking to prevent mistakes ; but the young ladies declared there was uo necessity, as they each knew their own. The black driver perched himself upon the front ofthe vehicle, and off we started, the fair proprietress ol our antidyspeptic machine giving him his direction. “Now Ctesar, do you drive up the river [the Passaic] ou the far ther batik, until you come opposite Belleville ; and mind you don’t miss one stone on the road, and don’t you stop, whatever is said to you, unless the bottom comes out. A display oi ivory was Ccesar’s significant response, and away we went, Inline ton like, rattling through the streets, and across the bridge, with our teeth dancing to a lively tune. Once out of the city, and a strait road ahead, Caesar plied his lash, and the nags tiew like mad. The road is none ofthe smoothest, and the driver obeyed his directions to a letter. Imagine our appearance. Such a giggling of ladies—such galvanic like distortions of heads, and such a thumping of the wagon bottom !— Oh! The recollection of it makes me sit tinea sy in my chair. We were passing along the banks of the Passaic—a few vessels were lazi ly dropping down with the tide, their soils flapping against the masts—and I shall not easily forget the appearance the scene presen ted ; it wits precisely the same as though 1 was looking thro’ a window glass full of wrin kles. On we went, up hill and down, over stones and across galleys. “Stop, Cffisar,’ said one pretty girl; “do stop, my hair is all coming down.” Caesar -was deaf. _ . Divers were the complaints of disarrangement ol dress, but all to no purpose. My colleague in the department was somewhat of an exquis ite, and had just furnished his head with one of Leary’s hats. An extra jolt left this (the hat) right in the middle of a flock of geese, who were hissing their disapprobation of our ap pearance. Caesar, yon -must slop now—my hat is gorte. But we were descending the hill, the foot of which was our destination, and stopping would have been no easy matter, even if Caesar had been willing. Once at the bottom, we pulled up to repair damages. Our hatless Iriend started up the hill with the speed of desperation. I helped the ladies ont, and a queer looking set they were. One’s curls were down, another’s hair streaming down her back-—jammed bonnets, and misplaced shoes were the order of the day. VYe laughed heartily at one another’s appear ance and mishaps ; and when our friend re turned with his hat, which was not much the worse for the geese, we all replaced ourselves, and started back for the city at a very moder ate pace. Arrived there safely 1 thanked the ladies for my tide, and bade them good bye, fully persuaded, however agreeable a straw ride may be to-sonie, there are fundamental objections to its h Trig participated in by those whose bouesure not well cushioned with flesh. heard, and the miserable man rushed from In dwelling.

If yon keep this fact in view, yon will have the honor gentlemen, of making a friend of him and all his relations, and ybn can allers look back upon this case that you did as you have beeu done by ; but if you disregard this first point of law, set at nought my eloquent remarks, and fotch hint in guilty, the silent twitches of conscience will Toiler you over every fair corn field, and tny injured client, gentiemem, will he pretty apt to light on you some of these dark nights, as my cat lights on a saucer full of new milk.

Often did the moth er and daughter instinctively cling to each other as some casual noise induced the beliel that the object of their solicitude had indeed comp, but how did they dread to encounter the frowns—mayhap the inebriated curses, of him, who was the cause ot their vigils! At length the hour of midnight sounded, and as its echoes died away, the footsteps of the ex pected one were heard. How wildly did Ihe heart of mother and daughter beat as P. en tered the door so long and eagerly watched ! He was there, before them, but not noisy— not harsh—for he was sober, calm, and collec ted. So great was the joy of the wife and daughter, that neither could give utterance to the wild emotions that played around their hearts, but tliey would lmve not spoken then, for worlds, lest the echo ofa voice should have dispelled what seemed a pleasing illusion. “ Mabel! Isabel !” were the first words that greeted their ears and iu a moment both were crying for joy on his bosom. Mie need not detail the affecting conversation which fol lowed, nor the joyful surprise with which the mother and daughter heard his resolves and hopes. It will all be sufficiently understood from a single expression of Powell P. as his daughter was about to retire to rest. They were the sweetest words her ears had heard for many a long, long day. They^ were “ good night, ruy child, and may God ever bless you—you have saved your father.’ The father had been to the election—he went predetermined to drink—to get drunk but as he was about to raise the first dram to h.s mouth, the pleading of his daughter seemed to rise before him. -..Jlis good genius prevailed—the glass was replaced untasted on the counter—he left tlie place and with a high nior.tl purpose hastened to enrol himself among the advocates of temperance. The pledge has been religiously kept—the visage of his mild and amiable wife is fust losing its care worn expression—“ Bell” lias become the joyous, hoping being she was designed to be, while Powell P. is fast regaining all his former vigor and nohlettess. Often do these contented beings talk over past scenes, while the amiable “ Mabel” fails not to designate the night of which we have spoken as that of “ The joyous surprise.’ Powerful Butter. “ Not a bad lunch, that,” said a hungry fellow at one of onr hotels yesterday, “ but the cow which furnished the milk from which that butter was manufactured must have been a row of extraordinary, unequalled, yea, her ctilean power.” “ Why V asked the bar kee per. «* Because that very butter is the strong est 1 ever tasted.” The butter plate cracked in an instant.

Gentleman of the Jury:—It is with fee^ lings of no ordinary commotion, that 1 rise to defend my injured client from the attacks which have been made upon his heretofore unapproachable character. 1 feel, gentleman, that though a good deal smarter than any-of yon are, or even the Judge here, yet that i am totally uucompetent to present this ere case in that magnanimous and heart rendering light which its importance demands. And 1 trust, gentlemen, that whatever I tnny lack in pre senting the subject, will be immediately made up by yonr own good sense and discernment, f you have any. The counsel for the prosecution, gentlemen, will undoubtedly endeavor to heave dust iu your eyes. He will tell you that his client is a man of function—.that be is a man who would scorn to fiotch an action against anoth er, merely to gratify bis personal corporosity —bin let me retreat of you, gentlemen, to be ware how you rely upon any spacious reason ing like this.
