FOR' THE CHRONICLE (V ADVERTISER.
to the Memory of GEOItGK W. FOX.
As fells Hie blossom from fee vernal tree,
Or fades the Rower, by some untimely blight,
So fell our friend, —so faded now, we see
Him who but erst we cherished with delight.
Thus from the rose the early dew departs.
And droops the bad, too quickly pluck’d away;
tVhilst this to sense a fragrance still imparts,
That lingers, bright in pensive memory.
Oh, yes! ns some enchanting, thrilling dream,
That fancy conjures to onr " curtain’d sleep,”—
Waking elate, reality wc deem,
• Till undeceiv’d, the vision bright we weep.
'Thus to a mother’s doming heart, return
'flie hopes, and joys that crown’d thy infancy 5
And thus again, she wakes thy loss to mourn—
Thy early dale, and timeless destiny.
Vcs, filed flqw’r! thy fragrance long shall breathe
With dewy freshness, the’ consign’d to earth,
Ami love, and friendship, twine for thee a wreath,
Unknown to fame, to deck thy native worth i
A wreath, embalm’d by many a sparkling tear,
By brother, sister, friend, and mother shed, —
A chaplet such, a monarch’s tomb might wear—
Such memory weaves around thy grassy bed.
A heart so generous, and a soul so true,
But lew can boast, and none have e’er surpass’d j
Jtlauy fey virtues—and thy faults but low,—
O’ cr which a veil of charity wchl oust. |
Thy merits more than have redeem’d each f»pol
Which mark’d the lustre of thy rising day j
{iiice transient clouds they le*ive behind no blot*,
To mar thy memory, or obscure its ray.
ftn, gathering* round thy early tomb, its light
Shall linger long, unsullied as thy morn,
To cheer thy friends, and give to her delight,
That thou hast left, to weep thy loss, forlorn.
Then rest in peace! for spirit such as thine,
Sure wing’d its way to realms of joy above;
The dust, and worms thy body but refine,”
To rise and join it, in that land of love:
Ves, let the Wind worm batten on thy cheek,
For soon wc hope, to mingle dust with thee,
And in that home, where happiness we seek,
To gain ft place, and join thy minstrelsy.

THS REFORMED METHODISTS.
Mr. Editor: —I think this new denomina
tion of Christians, which is so rapidly ris
ing among ns are to he viewed with
much interest by every believer in the
essential unity ami final prevalence of
the church of Christ on earth. They
seem to me to have in them a great many
of the elements of Christian anion, per
■ haps 1 may say, more so than any exist
ing denomination. They recognize the
i right of any given portion of the church
, to regulate its own affairs, according to
its own views of what is proper or bene
i ficial—that is, the great inherent right of
! self-government. Whether the section be
1 large or small, embracing a state, a na
• lion, a conference, a presbytery, or a sin
- gle society, and whatever internal policy
, this section may adopt, if they arc Chris
i turns , the reformed methodists seem to
[' offer (hem the right hand of fellowship.
They professedly adopt the apostolical
rule, “receive ye one another, as Christ
1 also hath received us, to the glory of
God.” lie they therefore Episcopal, or
• Arehiepiseopal, Presbyterian, Congrega
tional, Baptist, Lutheran, Arminiaii, or
, Calvinists, without feilowshipping their
- errors, the professed principles of these
t reformed Methodists would require them,
to fellowship the image of (rod wherever
I* they find it, and to recognize every so
i eiety of true Christians ns a church of
1 Christ. Ifthis is not the spirit of the
i millennium, I know not where we shall
, find it. (rhire 1 am, that no sectarian
i platform will ever hold the church uni
• versa!, in the millennium, and that
■ no obstinate inculcation of sectarian in
fallibility v. ill ever convert the world to
Jesus Christ.
I As an illustration of this spirit of unity
among the reformed mediodist churches,
■ lot me a.k you to copy Irani the “Mutual
1 Rights,” the folio wing interesting account
i of a camp-meeting near Lynchburg, Va.'
Extract of a Letter to the Hev. Alexander Mr
(\rnc, (now in Baltimore,) dated Lynchburg,
■ 12(/t August, 1830.
“Our camp-meeting commenced on
tiie Si'dh ultimo, and in addition to our
' ow n local brethren, we were aided by
j Rev. W. 11. Comann. Ira A. Easter, L. P.
' Cosby, and our young brother Goodwin,
all of the Associated Methodist < 'lmrches
in this place. The Rev. Mr. Reed of the
. first Presbyterian hurcii preached for
us on Sundays; and from the afternoon of
that day, until the close of the mooting,
which was on Tuesday the 3d last, we
■ had tiie services of the Rev. Messrs. Mc-
Allister and Hubbard of tho Baptist
Church. The congregations were large
—the services solemn and truly i ilerest
ing—and the Master of assemblies was
eminently present. This meeting will
long ho remembered, with peculiar de
light, hy all eh; ■ -linn hearts, who enjoyed
its delightful seasoned nml it« luippy in
■ finence on Christian society is acknowl
edged hy r all. May our efforts in this
good cause never cease, until sectarian
barriers arc reduced so low, that a child
may step over them.
“The benefits of this meeting, however,
1 were not limited to the followers of the
I Saviour. I witnessed the most power
, ful convictions, ami happy and salisliic
. tory conversions, that I have ever seen.
, \mnhers were delivered from the Inn
, dage of sin, and made to rejoice in a Sa
vionr's love: and numbers more were
, cut to the heart, and are now inquiring
what they shall do to be saved. The
elo ing scene of this meeting’ exceeded
that of our memorable meeting of last
October, on the same ground, which lam
, sure my dear brother will never forget.
1 The extent of its benefits will bo known
I only in tho great day. We did not—we
~ could not number the subjects of con
' verting-gra.'e,
“Our neat and convenient house of
•worship, which we call I'eeslei/ Chapel,
I was opened, for tho first time, on Wed
, nesday evening, the Ith hist. Brother

, congregation. It was dedicated to the
’ Uu* service of Almighty God, Father, Sun.
mid Holy Spirit, and was acknowledged,
v scaled, and recorded by the energy of

j Onrnllar was crowded with mourners,
ami souls trrre turn of God. On Friday
, evening divine service was again field
, in it, when three souls professed'to obtain
, the pardon of sin. On {Saturday and

being their communion season.) and mi

liouisifi MIR BESS.
The secret and atrocious murder of Mr.
White lias been acted over again in this
country, but we fear tho prospect of bring
ingto punishment the authors oftlie deed
is gloomy. About two weeks since, a
Mr. Eiles, in Pike ('oiinty. was sitting by
bis wile, near the lire, w here he was shot
dead by some person from without. The
ball passed thro’ his head, and so instan
taneous was his death that he did not
even fall from ids chair, but remained in
the same position in which he was sit
ting until some of the neighbors, three
mites off, could arrive. A man by tin
name of Gormond, has been arrested
upon suspicion of being the murderer,
and a true bill found by the Grand Jury.
Gormond, was his step-son, and at the
time the gun fired his mother jumped up
and exclaimed, “Don’t kill him,_ my son
hut take the property." A difference
between Gormond and Edes had existed
for some time: circumstances, probably,
improper now to mention, induced the
finding of a true bill. The trial has been
1 continued over to the next term of the
Court, in March next, under tire expecta
■ (ion that time will devolopo some
thing by which the murderer, whoever
he is, may be brought to punishment.
Gormond has been bailed, with four puri
ties, eueh in the sum of three thousand
dollars.

OPPRESSIVE TAXES!
The Working Men are alive to some
! of their burdens, and begin to inquire if
| something cannot be done to relieve them.
’l'hey think that the taxes which they in
! directly pay for the support of the gov
j eminent are enormous, our food and rai
ment are too heavily taxed, and that these
taxes more grievously oppress the Work
ing Men than any other class of society.
They and their families, which are gene
rally Humorous, must be led and clothed,
mid, w hen they honestly labor fra live
lihood, it. in cruel mid unjust to deprive
them of it, and to oppress them with bur
dens vv hieh are too grievous to be borne.
A writer in the Boston “Practical Po
. litician,” makes an estimate of Ids taxes,
and the familiar manner in which lie
states his case may be acceptable and
instructive to our readers. We have on :
ly to say that, the remarks of this writer
are applicable to every man’s family in
proportion to their number. Let us hear
his statement;—
“To give you an idea how many taxes
we are obliged to pay, 1 will enumerate
my own for the year past—defining a tax
to be, an assessment to raise a revenue
which is not wanted by government, ami
levied outlie wants of the poor people,
instead of the property and income of all
according to their means and advanta
ges.
“.Vow, neighbor Hardwood, I have a
family often children, anil, though Isay
it, as industrious and well behaved a fam
ily as lives in our parish. My wife is
one of the most prudent of the sex; and
her children, 1 am proud hi being able to
say, follow very well her instructions
and examples. Every thing of any value
is turned to some account. An old Coat
makes a jacket, for one of our little ones;
and an old jacket is made to patch the
old coats. We always purchase good
articles, such as are plain and substantial,
without being extravagant: and econo
mize in saving lime as well as avoiding
unnecessary expense. With these hab
its, which all men hold to be commenda
ble, I sud'er a continual inroad upon my
honest gains, by a great variety oftaxes.
“When we built our bouse, we painted
our floors; bat my wife thought w r e mufti
have our parlor carpeted, at least; and, as
mir ni'isiitiHi n liml Bet tlmi example, I
made no objection. ‘Von must he sure,’
said my wife, ‘that you do not get the.
American, it is the dearest you can buy,
neither tho colour nor fabric is durable,
and in Iwo years we should have to get
a new one.’ 1 went to the city, following
her advice, an 1 purchased 30 yards of
Kidderminster carpeting, and the tax on
that quantity was (in the shape of duly

Last May, my wife lost her mo
ther, and we were constrained to
purchase mourning articles for her
self and daughters, which cost on

to government of S3J percent. 8 33
In my family, there is used at
least, every year (by my wife and
four daughters, allowing only two
• dresses for each) 70 yards of im
ported calico; for my wife says,
‘its inui li cheaper in the i ml than
American.’ Tax on this, 7 cents
for every yard, is 4 90

the lax on it is 5 70
“My daughters had some ‘For

and wished them hound. They
being elegantly printed, nothing
would do but elegant binding.—
The binder said if 1 wanted tbe
best, I must have English Morocco,

hut all those above enumerated are such
as every prudent man, w ho enjoys a com

Election of U. S. Senator. —They who. hope
to thrive by keeping up party-spirit, have circu
lated a report, that the Clark members cleclotto
the legislature, intend to start some one in oppo
sition to Mft Forsyth. Wo do not believe a
word of it. Sadi opposition was first mention
ed openly' in a Troup paper, and a Troup man
was recommended .as an opponent; and now,
for political effect, it is endeavored to throw the
responsibility of this on the Clark party; which
is not very partial to Mr. Forsyth, as a politician,
but not insensible to the worth of his eminent
talents and frequent services to the State ; and
though there have been times when it would
have preferred others to him, it is not willing to
bo insiduously decoyed into opposition to him,
by its opponents, many of whom would fain ex
cite its opposition for private or party purposes.
And beside, that party has for sometime past,
evinced a disposition, highly laudable, to accord
with the wishes of all patriotic and good men,
by burying all old party prejudices and hostili
ties; and under this disposition, it is believed
that few if any of its members would vole against
Mr. F, at the present time, even if there were
the strongest probability of defeating him. Their
old objections to him will not interfere with the
propriety of then voting for him in the approach
ing election; and at any rate, it is not to be expect

him out, for the purpose of placing another Troup

COTTON.
Mr. Editor: —Believing the following extracts
of a letter may he acceptable to all who are in
terested in liie great staple of the South, 1 will
ask of you the favour to give it publicity through
the columns of your very excellent paper t
“Respecting Cotton, I will remark, that the
Imports into Great Britain, from this country, in
1630, will exceed our estimates, about 60,0U0
Bales; it seems, therefore, that the stock of Ame
rican Colton, in the hands of the Importers, the
Dealers, and tin; Spinners, at the close of this
year, will bo increased instead of diminished,
compared with that at the close of the preceding
year; unless the re-export from Liverpool exceeds
the estimates of the host informed Merchants;
still, it will ho light, and when compared with
the consumption, (which is daily increasing) will
be seen to bo considerably less than at the close
of any previous year. As the Stock of all des
criptions of Colton, will be very considerably elc
teased, compared with that of the preceding year,
it is but reasonable, therefore, to expect that at
least present prices will bo fully sustained.”
“If the European Merchants credit the jus!
statements that have boon sent forward from this
country, respecting the present crop, doubtless,
prices will advance considerably, before the
close of this year, notwithstanding the small in
crease of stock; but as our errors of judgment,
respecting the probable supply Great Britain
would receive from this country, during the
present year, will develope themselves, about
the time these advices, of a very considerable
deficiency in the present crop, reach Liverpool,
for one, I am inclined to think they will be slow
to give, them the credit they deserve ”
“Many are of the opinion that prices will de
cline in Liverpool, and that even the next ad
vices will be loss favorable. Ido not think so.
I look lor some improvement in the advices we
may receive from Liverpool, because that mar
ket was well supported, with the whole excess
ol the importation of Cotton from this country,
compared with our estimates—because the trade
in Manchester is increasing, and because almost
all tho Cottons now in the Importers’ hands, arc
limited above the last quotations; and they (the
Importers) have great confidence in being able
to obtain the limits. For your better information,
I here give an extract of a Letter from a highly
intelligent gentleman at Manchester: “There
is an extensive demand for most descriptions of
goods, at remunerating prices. Yarns are again
in good demand, and some descriptions com
mand belter prices. We do not remember ever
to have seen the trade of Manchester in a more
prosperous state than at this period. The eon
sumption of Cotton is going on at a very fall
rate.”
“As the Eastern Manufacturers arc now almost
bare of Cotton, and as they arc relieved from
the embarrassments which oppressed them last
year,—without any stocks of goods on hand.—
the demand good, and rapidly increasing, ani j
the business returning a fair profit—ami a’* but
little Cotton remains in tho ports—l shall not
be surprised to sec an advance on present prices
high as they seem, without the least speculation*
especially, if the Planters hold their proportion qf
the crop, and the advices we may receive from
the various Cotton growing sections shall con
tinue to strengthen us in the heliefof a very con
siderable deficiency in the growth of the l)re .
sent year.”
“The consumption of Cotton in the vicinity 0 f
Providence, during the commercial year just end
ued, shows an increase, compared with the pro
cedingone, of about 7000 Bales,—the outgoings
from Boston, show an incroaseof consumption of
about 9000 Bales, —the out-goings from New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, also, show
a very considerable increase. It is evident ilia, .
the consumption of Colton, in the United Status
has been considerably increased, during th®
past season, compared with any preceding, h
is now full, with tho prospect of a very considera
hlc further increase during the commercial veat
just commenced.”
“So fur as I am informed, (and I have exam
ined the Cotton-fields in Georgia, the Curolinas
and Virginia) we may safely calculate on a dc!
crease in the production of Cotton in 1630, com
pared* with the previous yeai, of one hundred
and FIFTY thousand bales. Keeping in mind,
the decrease in production, and the increased,
and daily increasing consumption of this groat
staple, in Europe and at home, it is not unrea
sonable to look for speculation in this aitielo
during the Year 1831.”
“I deem it important, that the Planters of the
South ho made fully acquainted with the pros
pects before them. If they sell the produce of
th ;ir labour to the Agents of Foreign Capitalists,
for a less price than its value, and are daily grow
ing poor, you, too, who are members of the same
community, although not growers of Cotter,
must partake of their poverty. If on tho con
trary, the Planters obtain tho fair value of thcii
produce, and arc daily increasing in wealth,
you, too, arc enriched by their prosperity. Let
those, whoso duty it is, inform them of the trim
situation of affairs.”

“ln u certain town there was a Moor of great
respectability, who had a son, the best young
man in the world, full of great projects, but so
poor, that he had the will, hut not the power to
execute them. In the same place there was a
nother Moor very rich, and he had an only dauglw
ter, but she was# devil, and nobody would
marry her.—The young man came one day to
his father, and said, “Father, I am weary of
the poor and wretched life that I lead ; i wish u.
marry.” The father said, he should be delight
ed if his son could find a party that suited him.
Upon which the young man named his neigh
bour's daughter : on hearing this the father was
much surprised; but the son persisted in desir
ing his father to speak to the Moor, who was his
intimate friend, and ask him for his daughter.
Tl.oMi.ov bu*.J, wlum lie wns nppliod to, he had
no objection, but that whosoever had Ins daugh
ter, would be better dead than alive. The wed
j ding day however was fixed, and the bride was
led away to her husband’s house ; and according
to tho Moorish custom, a supper was prepared,
and a table was laid, and the fathers and moth
ers left the bride and bridegroom together till
the next day, not without great fear and suspi
cion that they should find the bridegroom in the
morning dead, or not far from it. As soon as
they were gone, the now married couple sal
down at the table, and before she could speak,
he, looking about him, saw one oflns house dogs,
and calling to him with a loud voice, ordered him
to bring water to wash his hands, which the dog
not doing, he got up in a rage, and drew hi.,
sword ; this the dog seeing ran away, and heat
ter him, till lie cpughl him, and cut oft’ his head
and legs, and his body in pieces, and dashed the
blood over the table, and all over the room; then
came and seated himself at tho table. He look
ed around again, and saw a Maltose beagle ,anl
gave him the same order; but on his not comply
ing, he first threatened to serve him as ho had
done tho inastiif, then springing from his chair,
he caught him by the legs, and cut him into s .
hundred pieces ; he then returned a second lima I
to the table, making horrid faces and furious ges- I
turcs, and stared wildly around him. The Bride, I
wjio was an eye-witness of all this, was beside *
herself for fear, and stupid, without being able i
to utter a syllable. He then swore he would I
servo every living creature in the saire man- I
ner, not excepting iiis horse, xx Inch was the only j
one ho had• remaining to him; he, then, having
killed his horse, came hack to the table with
his sword reeking in blood, and seeing no other
animal to kill, turned his eyes on ids wife, and
cried, with a furious tone of v«ice, “Get up,
and bring mo water to wash my hands.” >Bho
immediately rose and brought him water. 'ILon
ho said, if you had not done it, 1 would havo |
served you as 1 served tho dogs and the horse- 1
He then ordered her tt help him, which she did, I
but with so horrid an aspect, that she still cx- j
peeled to havo her head cutoff. —In 'ho samu I
manner they passed the night together, and si |U B
never spoke, but did every thing he bade her. p
and when they had slept somoMittlo while, I' l j
said to his wifu, “ I have not been able to rest I
for rage to night, sec that nobody disturbs me lu I
morrow morning, and take care that I have a a
good breakfast. Early in tho morning tho pa I
rents of the bride and bridegroom knocked a* I
the door, and us no one answered, they cone -.- H
ded that ilia bridegroom was cither killed et I
wounded, and when they saw the bride come
to the door without her husband, they were roi.
firmed in their suspicions. As soon as she m' -
them she began to call them traitors, and asi “
them how they dared to conic to tho door "- ■
out speaking ; malic no noise, or you are ail
men. This astonished them still more, ..m
--when they knew how the night had been sp.» •
they thought very highly of the young man b
his great skill in governing his wife, and ,irr d- 1 -
ing his household ; and from that day for" are.
she was so well managed, that ho lived pcrf* ct
lywell with her; and the father-in-law j
