Lexington, Oct. 20, 1853.

questing me to “ partake of a Dinner, to
be given by theMembcrs of the Bar, usu
ally pruct'uing in the Northern Circuit,”
has just|becn received. I duly appreciate
this manifestation of kindness, on the
part of my professional brethren, and
■will ever regard this expression of their
feelings, with peculiar pleasure. It will
attord me great pleasure to meet the
Members of the Bar, on to-morrow eve
ning, (il it will suit their convenience,
and that of the Court,) and partake with
them of their proffered kindness. Be
pleased to communicate to my profess
ional friends, my thanks for “ lh«.s tes
timonywf their respect,” and acrephfor
yourselves, gentlemen, the considerations
of my esteem.
Four’s, respectfully,
DAN’L. CHANDLER.
Messrs, Francis H. Cmr, Jtrnj. F.
Hardeman, anil George M. Dudley,
In accordance with the letter of accep
tance, the members of the Bar and many
other gentlemen, on .the 21st inst., sat
down to a sumptuous dinner, prepared
by Judge Moore—Judge Andrews pre
siding, and Col. William C. Dawson act
ing as Vice President—after the cloth
was removed, the following toasts were
drunk :
By the President—The memory of
Duncan G. Campbell.
By the Vice President —Personal
friendship and kind feelings, distinguish
ing characteristics of the Georgia Bar, tv
tnidst the violence of political excitement
—let us continue their cultivation.
By Francis 11. Cone, Esq. —Our guest,
Daniel Chandler, Esq, —if talents can
command success, virtue secure esteem,
and learning, admiration, he is certain of
their attainment.
After the applause which succeeded
this sentiment had subsided, Mr. Chan
dler arose and addressed the company as
follows:
Gentlemen — l receive, with feelings
of the liveliest gratitude, (his expression j
of your friendly regard. It brings to
recollection the many favors you nave
bestowed; and while it cheers the sad
ness of a parting hour, it casts a gloom
upon (he prospect of dissolving connec
tions, that 1 have ever prized, and from I
friends whom I highly esteem. —It is
I>ainful to leave the land of my nativity.
[ delight to tread its hallowed soil, to
breathe its balmy air, and to gaze upon
its cloudless skies. But, to part with
friends, whose virtues 1 respect, whose
falents I appreciate, and whose profes
sional worth 1 have ever admired, is u tri
al, but no one realizes, who has never se
riously contemplated the certainty and
approximation of such an event. It is,
inueed, gentlemen, a trying time. The
natural feelings of the heart, the generous
affections of the soul, and the noble reso
lutions of the mind, plead for antecedent
attachments, cling to present pleasures,
and point, with shuddering apprehension,
to a prospect, that is to human ken,
wrapped in the darkness of futurity. Af
ter the best reflection, that I can bestow
upon a question, in the determina
tion of which inclination and interest
have struggled for the mastery, 1 have
concluded to risk “ my all” in the fasci
nating and glowing city of the South. Its
bosom is extended to the needy, the en
terprising, ami the adventurous ; and
with a diffidence, that no one can duly
estimate, I shall cast myself upon its!
swelling greatness, hoping thereuy to j
catch the spirit that is moving it on, to an
enviable distinction.
It is, gentlemen, no affectation of sen
timent to state, that 1 leave you with great
reluctance. Our association has been to
me interesting! instructive, and profita
ble. In your school, I have been pro
fessionally educated ; by your example,
I have been directed,' and in sending
from your bosom, the object of your re
gard, with this Iresh “testimony of your
respect,” you increase the extent of my
obligations, and exemplify the courtesy
of your conduct. The profession of the
Law, is not only honorable, but irs mem
bers are generally characterized by li
berality of feeling, urbanity of deport
ment, disinterestedness of conduct, and
integrity of purpose. These are promi
nent traits in the character of the mem
bers who usually practice in the North
ern Circuit. Tne kindness of their feel
ings, is beautifully illustrated, in the
pleasure with which they meet after the
intervals of their Courts. Strangers to
the petty jealousies, that often distract
other professions, and superior to the en
vious malignity, that would detract from
another's merit, they strike, with sinceri-
L ty, the hand of friendship, and read iu
gladsome eye, language of a happy
Mmeeting. May this attribute of a noble
Ilf*"'"'"
session, that is intimately connected with
the dearest rights of individuals, and the
best interests of society !
I prefer, gentlemen, the short time that
remains, to reciprocate the usual civ e
ties, on such an occasion, be spent rather (
in the pleasures of social intercourse,
and the interchange of kindly sentiment, (
than in the repetition of unavailing re- (
grets, or the acknowledgements of a
heart-felt gratitude. He assured, that I
shall never forget your kindness, and
this last act, of our professional inter
course, will ever be a green spot in the
waste of memory. In conclusion, 1
would observe, that if interest, itulioa
tion, or duty, ever lead any of you to my
distant and contemplated Home, it will
be my pride and happiness, to give you a
friend’s reception, and to greet you with
a Brother's welcome. I offer, for your
acceptance, a sentiment, that comes from
the depth of my heart:
The Members of the Bar, who usually
practice in the Northern Circuit —! know
them well—l esteem them highly— God
bless them.
By Bcnj. F. Hardeman, Esq.—The
memory of Thomas \V. Cobb, Esq.
By R. A. Toombs, Esq. — The memo
ry of John Marshall, late Chief Justice
of l)u' United Slates —Let there he ener
gy and zeal, on the front of the Bar of
the United States, to perpetuate, by a
suitable monument, the memory of one,
whose life and talents were so long and
so eminently useful to his country, and
which shed such lustre upon their profes
sion.
By George R. Gilmer, Esq.— Our
guest —May he yet find it consistent with
duty to Ids State and himself, to give to
Georgia the benefit of Ids distinguished
talents, and to his friends the pleasure to
be derived from his private worth.
By Albert G. Scmmes —The memory
of the Don, I fin. //. Crawford —As re
gards talents, Georgia never knew his e
qual, or (lie nation his superior.
By G. M. Dudley, Esq.— Jlluhamn —
Soon to become (he foster mother of one of
Georgia’s noblest and most gifted sons
—Let her cherish him us she ought, for
he will reflect the highest honor upon
her.
By Wiliam M’Kinly, Esq. —Daniel
('/lowlier —Nature’s nobleman —Geor-
gia bids him a reluctant and tender fare
well.
By Daniel Chandler, Esq. —His How
nr Garnett. Andrews —VVe honor him as a
Judge—admire him as a companion—and
esteem him as a friend.
After the warm response given this
sentiment by the, company, Judge An
drews rose, and said ;
The fluttering testimony of respect just
given by our esteemed guest, is valuable,
not only on account of the worth of its
author, but, also, because he is one of our
liberal profession, usually practicing in
the Northern Circuit. To you, gentlu
mcii, 1 am in all sincerity, grateful for the
respect and courtesy, with which I have
been treated, and lor indulgence shewn to
my errors, since 1 have had the honor of
presiding on the Bench of this Circuit.
Your respectful and gentlemanly deport
ment has not only made my labors easy,
but rendered the discharge of your pro
fessional duties agreeable to yourselves.
The savage, in fighting for his country,
adds to (he ImTrors of war, by an indul
gence, in cruelty, which, contributing
nothing to his cause, swells, to a frightful
extent, the sum of human misery. * The
civilized soldier, in struggling for victo
ry, strikes every blow for Ids country, but
none for cruelty or revenge. The field
of battle, to him, is (he field ot*hon«r and
chivalry, on which he exercises the stron
gest talents of the head and best affections
and passions of the heart. The contrast
between the savage and civilized soldier,
in settling the quarrels of nations, lur
nishes a striking comparison, as to the
manner in which our profession some
times adjusts the disputes between indi
viduals. A rude and vulgar Bar, ren
ders the practice of our profession, not
only an unpleasant, but. almost a savage
business. But lam proud to say, that
the courtesy and good feeling of those
practicing in this Circuit, have made the
Court room the arena for the display of
talent, and the agreeable civilities of gen
tlemen.
Gentlemen ! I am truly thankful ami
proud, that my lot lias fallen among you.
with a sincere conviction of its truth, 1
offer you the following sentiment:
The Members of the Bur, usually prac
ticing in the Northern Circuit —For
courtesy, correct feeling, and talent, 1
will stake them against the field.
By Francis 11. Cone, Esq.— The Bar
—II they are never in default, in the dis
charge of professional duties, they will
rarely be non-suited, in the attainment ol
professional success.
By George U. Gilmer, Esq. — The
Memory of lodge Dooly —He will long
be remembered in the social celebrations
of our profession, where wine and wit
make the pleasure of the feast.
By John Billups, Esq.— Mobile —The
chosen residence of our valued friend—a
ritv progressing with unprecedented ra
pidity to the highest point of wealth and
1 renown, wc trust her brilliant prospects
! are emblematic of bis success.
Many oilier sentiments were drank on
the occasion, that were not handed in.
During the festivities of the evening,
Messrs. Cone, Dawson, Toombs, John
son. and other gentlemen, delivered ap*
priate and highly interesting addresses,
some of which partaking fully of the deep,
intense, and genuine feeling which the
occasion naturally gave rise to, displayed
in the happiest manner, the beauty and
the richness of an intellectual eloquence,
under the full inspiration of exebed ge
nius. It is to be much regretted, dial
these addresses, so credible to the head
and talents of these gentlemen, were not
submitted for publication. The compa
ny dispersed at a late hour, having fully
partaken of die kindness and hospitality
of their worthy host, and enjoyed, with a
full flow of wit, the most enlivening song,
the humorous anecdote, and best of chain
puigne.
Pragma of Abolition. —We learn that the
circulation of the Abolition papers have doubted,
and mine than doubled, fat some (tarts of the coun
try, since the month of August. There is, ac
cording to their own account, a remarkable in
crease and call for their pamphlets in the South
ern Stains. It is expected also that the publica
tion office for these productions, which was
originally a dead outlay of money, wiH yield a
handsome yearly profit, and leave a surplus to
pay secret agents to travel through the South,
and spy out the weak points of the slave region.

EFFECTS OF THE GALE. I
We had yesterday the melancholy task j
of making up a list of the disasters and ‘
estimating the probable loss sustained by ‘
the late gale. j ,
It seems to have been confined to a|.
narrow vein ; as it was not felt at George- j
town, and tire schooner Ellen, Cant, j
Ft.oon, which arrived yesterday, left St. '
Mary’s the morning of the day before,'
ami had fair winds and experienced no j
bad weather on her passage, the violence
of the storm, was, we hope, only felt
here, and perhaps along the Islands and
coast in a line a little South of West
from Charleston,—\Ve are not yet in
possession of accounts from that quarter.
VVe find also, by the arrivals yester
day, that though the gale was felt in the
immediate vicinity of our bar, it was
not felt by vessels forty miles out to sea.
The brig Alpha, which arrived yesterday, I
lost her topmast on the other side of the
Gulf stream, in a gale from (lie North,
which abated on (he 98th, and she expe
rienced no had weather since.
We copy below the account from yes
terday evening’s Patriot, (which is very
full,) prefixing some additional details
which we have gathered.
The entire destruction of property in
the ritv and harbour, cannot fall short of
1300,000.
THE BRIDGE FERRY.
'Phe wharves and Bulk Head of the
Bridge Ferry over Ashley River, are so
much injured as to require some weeks
work to render the Ferry passable. The
Mail is now broughtover in a boat. The
steam boat at the Ferry is uninjured ;
but the Team boat has been driven up
Ashley River
CHISOLM’S MILL.
The Causeway connecting Chisolm’s
Mill, at the South West corner of the
city, to Tradd street, lias been almost
entirely destroyed, and the (wo wharves
at the Mill and a large quantity of wood
carried away. Mr. Darts’sloop, tho Su
san McPherson, lies high and dry, in the
middle of the Mill yard.
The schooner Milward and William,
Cant. Dodge, and the schooner Eliza
beth, (belonging to Capt. Dodge,) and
schr. Alert, belonging to Mr. Kershaw,
with a fleet of small sloops, are driven
up on the James Island marsh.
ON SOUTH BAY.
The new steamboat Tomacheclice, be
longing to J. R. Butts, of Macon, (Ga.)
broke loose from Moreland’s wharf, and
is grounded on Bailey’s wharf, and can
only be got off at great expense.
Air. Poyas’sShip Yard sustained little
or no injury.
The schr. Col. Simmons, Capt. Philips,
, in Poyas’s dock, slightly injured.
’Phe schr. Albemarle, which was re
pairing, bulwarks stove in, and sunk in
the same chick.

wharf.
From the Patriot of last evening.
VVe gave in our Install the informa
tion to our readers, of the effects of tin
very violent Storm experienced here yes
terday and the previous night, iu our pos
session, up to the hour nearly of going
to press,—The wind continued to blow
with equal, il not increased violence,
until about 9 o’clock last night, when
it changed to the Southward and abated.
The loss of property has been very ex
tensile, particularly to the owners of
wharves. The Battery on East Bay has
sustained great injury, four breaches ha
ving been made in it of considerable
widths. The cost of repair, it is sup
posed, will be from Bto SIO,OOO. The
storm seems to have spent its fury in the
harbor, and not to have visited the city
with any very serious effects.
Gentlemen who left Georgetown yes
terday at 2 o’clock, state that it had not
been experienced there.
A seaman named James Smith, said to
belong to Kennehunk, (Maine,) has been
missing from on hoard the schr. Charles,
at Dewees' wharf, since 11 o’clock, on

GRAND ENTERPRIZE.
Hail Hoad from the Ohio to Charleston.
We have just received a pamphlet,
containing the proceedings of a jiublic
meeting hold in Cincinnati, relative to a
projected Rail Read, which is to connect
j that city with Charleston.
| This publication contains a number of
I interesting facts, and calculations, going
to shew, that such a Rail Road is practi
j cable —that it is the shortest and easiest
, line of communication, between the great
West ami the Atlantic, and that its com
i pletion will be with incalculable ad van
j tages to the Southern and Western
; States. As we propose to lay these pro
j ccetlings before our readers we will mere
| I v state, that it appears from the calcula
| (tons submitted, that the distance be
j tween Cincinnati and Charleston is a
i bout 500 miles, which would probably
require a Rail Road of about, seven hnh
j died miles. But as we already have
a Rail Road to Hamburg, 135 miles in
length, and one is about to be made from
! Cincinnati to Paris in Kentucky, of 90
! miles, only 470 miles of Road would re
main to be made, to complete the line of
communication. The distance in com
parison with other routes, is as follows :
: 1. From Cincinnati to Paris (Ky.) 80 m.
j 2, Hence to Cumberland Gap, 130
' 3. Hence to junction ofFrench
Broad, 52
4. Hence to Columbia, (S. C.) 215
5. Hence to Charleston, 130
Total distance, 697
Distance from Cincinnati to New
York byway of the Lakes, 950 in.
To Philadelphia byway of Pitts
burg * 850
To Baltimore byway of Wheel
ing 630
To Mobile by Valley of the Ten
nessee, 780
Tims it will appear that the Charles
ton Route to the Ohio, is 340 miles near
er to the sea board than the route by
New York, 240 nearer than by Philadel
phia, 40 nearer than by Baltimore, and
170 nearer than by Mobile.
In respect to time, the difference is
quite as striking. Allowing 12 miles an
hour, (and our Rail Road cars exceed
that) the time required to transport goo.de
from Charleston to Cincinnati, would not
exceed 60 hours, (2i days) say 3 days.
Now to transport ggods from New Or
leans to Cincinnati, will require, it is
stated, at least todays, from New York
10 or 12, from Philadelphia 8 or 10, and
and from Baltimore, even with the aid of
a Rail Hoad over the mountains, at least
4 days.
We cannot, at present, give more than
this brief summary of the contents of the
Pamphlet before us.—This we are sure,
will be quite sufficient, however, to ex
cite an intense curiosity on the part of
our fellow citizens; which, we think,
will be highly gratified with the remain
ing statements and calculations which
will he laid before them. —Charleston

IMPIOUS FORGERY.
In the Colonizationist Herald, Oct. 17,
is an article credited to (lie “ Christian
Mirror," in the form of a dialogue be
tween Paul and Priscilla. It is prece
ded by a paragraph signed, “ Philo
Paul;*’ in which it is stated that the dia
logue “ purports to have taken place at
Rome, about the year sixty one or two of
the Christian Era. Whenand by whom
it was first committed to writing, does
not appear. It is supposed to have been
buried in the ruins of Herculaneum for
more than 1700 years, and to have been
recently discovered and translated into
English.” This paragraph is-cvidently
intended to make the reader believe that
the dialogue actually occurred between
Paul and Priscilla.
The Apostle Paul is made (o speak the
, sentiments of the Colonizationists, and
to oppose (lie zeal of Priscilla who ap
pears to be a thorough going Abolitionist.
Paul views slavery as a great evil, but
one which can only be removed gradual-
Alas ! for the cause of religion, lias it
come to this, that men professing the re
ligion of Christ, can perpetrate (such im
pious forgery, to impose upon the credu
lity of their fellow men, for the sake of
propagating their own sentiments? Is
the system of “ pious frauds” 'to be a
gain introduced ? How dare the conduc
tors of religious Journals sanction such
gross imposition r Will they plead igno
rance ? Could they be deceived by a
document bearing on its face the marks
of base fraud ? The name of the author
ought to be given to the jiublic, that he
might have the mark of Cain set upon
him.
We have keen politely furnished, (says the N.
Oil. aus Bulletin,) with the following iiuelligeuce
from Texas. It is stated that General Houston,
with 1000 men, had captured San Antonio, and
seized a convoy of 60,000 dollars, belonging to

Copy of a letter from John 11. Moore, to Messrs.
Stepp, Sutherland and Kcr, and to all whom il
may concern.
Goszai.es, Oct. Ist, 1835.
I inform you that we have about 150 men, and
arc expecting more troops hourly, and earnestly
request that you should spare no pains to send us
as much aid as possible. Our situation requires
that all of Texas should now aid us. It is the
most important crisis that the people of Texas
have ever experienced, arid our welfare for tho
future, does depend a groat deal on the first stroke
that is made. The enemy is now just on the op
posite. side of the river, in number about 300
troops, and is reinforcing rapidly. Spare no pains
iu sending us aid, immediately. At all events,
send us expresses, and state the situation of the
troops and affairs generally.
Respectfully, &c.
JOHN H. MOORE, Commandant.

Importation of Abolition Tracts from En
gland.—A case, (says the New York Herald of
last Monday, containing several hundred copies of
London Abolition Tracts, lias just come through
our Custom House, to the Anti-Slavery Society,
iu Nassau street. They were oddressed to “E.
Wright, Anti-Slavery Office, Nassau street.” A
portion of these pamphlets consists of copies of
“ A Letter to Members of Congress of the United
Stales, by an English Clergyman, containing,
with additions, a tract called ‘Everyman bis own
property holder,’ printed by Whitaker, Bookseller,
London.” Wc thither learn that since Ur. Cox
sailed for England last week, several other pack
ages of English Abolition Tracts will be passed
through the Custom House, in time to circulate
them at Utica during Ihe sitting of tho Conven
tion. Doctor Cox brought thorn to this country
last spring, but from sonic cause or other, delayed
passing them through the Custom House, till his
friends have now done it ft>r him.
These tracts all contain matter of the most
violent and iufiaminatoiy character against the
South. They are the outpourings and the con
centrated essence of the London Abolition So
ciety, It appears also that the British Abolition
Society have furnished not only matter to be
circulated and reprinted here, but that funds are
also secretly sent over to aid the great effort of
atiotisliiiig Southern Slavery-. We have been
informed that tho London Society, has sent over
in bills of exchange money to the amount of
£6,000 sterling, witii a promise of jC50,000 more,
if il be deemed necessary.
At the opening of these cases by the Custom
House officer, the Secretary of the Anti-Slavery
Society, Mr. Wright, expressed himself highly
offended. “What right have you to open the
box 1” asked he. “I have a right,” replied the
spirited officer, “to open every case that passes
bore—l have examined that box, and 1 have
marked it “Incendiary Pamphlets from Lon
don !”
We further learn, and We challenge Contradic
tion, that the Anti-Slavery Society had several ,
secret prayer meetings—that they have ttgtccd to
reprint and circulate the principal portions of
these British publications, that they have made
overtures to purchase the aid of the Evening Post,
by a promise of patronage, and that the editor of
the Evening Post has consented—that they have
already given the proprietor of the Sun money to
aid their cause, through his paper, and that the
Sun is purchased body and soul to facilitate the
cause ol the Britisli fanatics and amalgamators.
1 bus has the Evening Post, notwithstanding
tho loud vaunts of its editor, been purchased up
by a foreign faction to aid in the dismemberment
of tho United Slates, and its recent course has
been adopted in consequence of that purchase.
Disturbances in Monroe. —The disaffection
of the slaves was mostly confined to an extent of
some ten or twelve miles, in the lower part of
Monroe, (a thickly populated section) and had
probably been communicated to a few others, at a
greater at a recent camp meeting. It
was undoubtedly their object, although the ar
rangements bad not been fully concerted, to have
commenced an indiscriminate murder of women
and children, on the day of the election, after the
men had left home for the purpose of attending
it. The final, arrangement was to have been
made, and communicated to the leaders and others,
at a meeting house on Sunday, (the day before
the election,) but the plot was fortunately disco
vered, only a day or two before that time. A
considerable number of slaves were arrested, and
many voluntarily confessed tho facts,which con
fessions generally corresponded. We believe all
have been set at liberty but three, who were tried
on Thuisday and Friday last. Owing to our laws,
but little testimony could be offered, but what was
legally objected to by the counsel employed to
defend them. One was acquitted, and two were
found guilty—one of them was santcnccd to be
whipped, cropped, and branded—the other, who
appeared to be the principal instigator, was, sen
tenced to bo bung. He is owned by a Mr.
Youngblood, of Jones county, and wc believe
lives in that county, near the line of Monroe.
Nothing could surpass the madness and folly
of such a movement; surrounded and mingled as
they would have been, with a white population
larger than tho black, and in every way better
provided for defence; they could have been put
down and annihilated in a few hours. It is true
they might have murdered a few helpless women
and children, but here it would have ended.
These, wc suppose, arc the means of emancipa
tion the Abolitionists are selling lo employ among
us, and the fellow who will be hung will be rank
ed by them, as was the slave Nat, the leader of the
insurrection in North Carolina, with General
Washington.
Wc have only to warn, Tappan, Garrison, and
the leading Abolitionists, that when the first drop
of blood is drawn in the South, through their
machinations, that they may speedily expect their
retribution, in blood for blood, and would to God,
that the blood of a few Abolitionists would be the
least evil that will accrue to tho country from such
an event. —. Macon Messenger,
From the Danville Ahy(;.
RAIL ROAD PROJECTS.
Mobile and Tennessee Hail Hoad.
Wc learn from an article in the .Athens Watch
man of the 22d inst. copied from tho Tuscaloosa
Expositor, that Delegates were then being ap
pointed, in a number of counties in that State,
upon the invitation of the citizens of Mobile, lo
a Convention at Tuscaloosa, to bo held on the
4th Monday in November next, to consider tire
propriety of constructing a rail road, to connect
the Tennessee and Alabama Rivers, and to dis
cuss the policy of Internal Improvement gene*
rally in that State. Mobile has subscribed,ms we
learn, 8600,000 towards effecting that object.
The rail road will doubtless be continued north
to Nashville, and eventually to tho Ohio, and to
the Lukes.
New Orleans a ltd Nashville.
The -Rail Road 565 miles long connecting.
Nashville and New Orleans has been surveyed,
as also 500 miles of lateral road, within the last
six months, at an aggregate expense of 825,000
some odd hundred dollars. Fifty miles of this
road has been contracted for.—The scheme of the
main trunk, with its lateral roads, arc estimated to
cost above 8100,000,000.
Poston and New Orleans.
A writer in the Fredericksbuig Arena, who
signs himself “Orange” suggests? a Rail Head
from Fredericksburg via Guayandjjtc, Louisville,
aud Nashville, to New Orleans, as a scheme of
great public utility in the transpfc fGtiou qf ;[ic
mails. “This with the rail way.tv i.Verrcv com
pleted and in progress would make a continuous
hue of rail way from New Orleans to Boston, the
whole of which might he traversed (1600 miles)
in about ten days.” The writer also suggests a
branch from Louisville westward, through Vin
cennes, and Vandalia, to St. Louis, Me. The
Richmond Compiler, from which we extract tho
above, adds, “The road from Lynchburg to the
Tennessee lino, already projected, may, in some
measure, supercede a portion of tire road above
mentioned, and it is very probable an extension
eastward!)- from Nashville, will soon engage pub
lic attention.
The Bequest to Washington City. —The Na
tional Intelligencer of I6th ult, iu alluding lo
lire rumor, remarks—“ We learn tirat information
has been received by the Government, that such
a bequest was made by some English gentleman
of fortune, and that tho sum of two hundred th u
sand pounds a sterling will, in all probability, in
suo to this city for tho erection and endowment
of a University. The money, we understand,
was bequeathed in tho first instance to the only
son of the testator, hut in case of his death with
out heir, to go lo the City of Washington for the
purpose above staled. That contingency occur
red, and the princely legacy accrues to the city.
It is probable that the President will communicate
tlic fact to Congress early in the next session.”
Life of Washington in Latin. — A Mr. Glass,
formerly of-Philadclphiu, who is said to have been
a man of rare talents, and a thorough master of
the Latin Language, emigrated to Ohio, and
while there, laboring under tho adversities of for
tune, and teaching what is called an Old field
School, wiotc the life of the father of his coun
try in Latin, in a style which, il is said, has “sel
dom if ever been equalled by the best modern
scholars.” Mr. G. being now dead, Mr. Hey
nolds, a gentleman of some literary distinction,
lias undertaken to edit the work and cause it to
he published in the handsomest style practicable.
—Raleigh Star.
The New York Evening Post has at length
been thoroughly Tappanized. It now no longer
confines itself lo a defence of the right of discuss
ing the subject of Abolition, but has entered the
ranks of its most sturdy advocates. Several of
the last numbers of the Post are filled with dis
quisitions on tho subject of slavery, in the true
Emancipator vein; and that of the 3d instant, ex
tracts entire from the Anti-Slavery Quarterly
Magazine, an article entitled “ Slavery tested by
its own code,” —one of the most violent pieces of
sophistry that we have seen. In commenting
upon this article, the Editor of tho Post says:—
“ For our own parts, after full deliberation, we
have resolved, come what may, not mergly to
assert and maintain our right to discuss the ques
tion of Slavery, but to exercise that right, carnesi
ly and industriously, under a deep conviction
that it is an imperative duty to do so.—Rich
mond Whig, Oct. 6.
The New Orleans Union observes, “We sta
ted some time since, on*the authority of a mer
chant of this city, that we might rely upon a full
crop of cotton from Mississippi. The Vicksburg
(Miss.) Register, after noticing our article, thus
concludes:
“The Merchant on whom the Union relies, ’
was not a close observer. The plant is large 1
enough, but sadly deficient in bolls—concurring !
information from every part of this State, con- 1
vinccs us that there will not bo two-thirds of a 1
full crop, and early frost may reduce it still more.”
