. Woman’s Smile.
There ia a star that brightly gleams,
Calm in the sky above,
And throws o’er life its golden beams
4 Of happiness and love:
A beacon pure, whose radiance bright
No lowering cloud confines;
But in affliction’s stormy night,
With heavenly lustre shines.
There is a star, whose magic power
So firmly binds the soul,
That e’en in joy’s most sunny hoar
Man feels its sweet control;
A glorious light, whose mystic spell
Life, hope, and joy imparts—
And calms the wild tempestuous swell
Of earths despairing hearts.
The star that from its glittering sheen
Glides life’s declining slope,
And throws o’er youth’s resplendant scene
The rosy tints of hope;
The star that drives the clouds away,
Though dark they frown awhile;
And ever shines with peerless ray—i
Is woman’s angel smile.
Gentle words—Loving Smiles.
The sun may warm the grass to life, •
The dew the drooping flower,
And eyes grow bright and watch the light
Of Autumn’s opening hour—
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And gold and geins are not the things
To satisfy the heart:
But O, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Ilaye gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth !
Independence of the Press.
We clip the following froin the Fredericks
burg News, a rabid Taylor organ, and whose
editor, says the Richmond Enquirer, is a “de
voted personal admirer of Mr. Pendleton.” , It
shews that there is at least one independent
Southern whig press—a press that when its
country calls, will immolate its own friends up
on the altar of patriotism.
There is hut one Whig print in Georgia, we
allude to the Republic of Augusta, that has
dared to condemn the course of Mr. Pendleton
and his noble co adjutors on the compromise
hill. For this expression of his honest convic
tions, he has been denounced by Kis compeers,
anil the Savannah Republican, that pink of con
sistency and courtesy has given him the subri-
quel of political hermopkridite —Fed. Union.
“It is a matter worthy of speculation how in
a District with 1500 Whig majority, that the
regular nominee of the party (with the high
qualifications, he is generally conceded to pos
sess) should thus ho so ingloriously defeated.
There is but one cause. Mr. Pendleton has not
Beautiful Idea.
“What would we not give” (asked a cotem- '
porary,) “lor a file of a daily newspaper during
the age of Augustus? How perfectly might
we exchange for it all the histories of Rome
which ever have been or ever will ho written ?
Neither Livy nor Tacitus, nor Dion Cassius,
nor Cicero, nor Suetonius, nor Pliny, nor Beau-
font,, nor Niehuhr have told us a tithe of what
would have found its way into the teeming jour
nals of the metropolis of nations. We should
then be able to turn to the date of Cicero’s
speeeh for Milo, and read editorial comments
perhaps from the pen of Sallust or of Hortcnsios.:
In another column we might find h new lyric
inspired by the muse of Horace, or a new sa
tire from the inexorable pen of Juvenal. Far
ther on we would perhaps read of the first ap
pearance of Rosius in the Andrea of Terence,
or of jEsop, “for this night only,” in the Am-
phyIrion of Plautus. The struggles of the forum
and in the halls of justice, the frequent and curi
ous religious ceremonials, the daily amusements, . w
the commerce, the agriculture, tho army, the! would not cheat him. We continued to pass ii
back and forth, each one asserting that it l>e-
talne of Honesty.
An old trader among the Northern Indians;
who had some years ago established himSelf
on the Wisse-Va, tells a good story, with a
moral worth recollecting, about his first (rials
of trading with his red customers. The Indians,
who evidently wanted goods, and hadi both
money (which they called slm-ne-ah) and furs,
flocked about his store, and examined his goods^
but for some time, bought nothing. Finally;
their chief, with a large body of his followers,
visited him and accosting him with—“How do;
Thomas; show mo goods; I take four yard
calico, three coon skins for yard, pay you
by’mby—tp-morrow; received his goods and
left. Next day, he returned with his whokf
band, his blankets stuffed with coon skins.—^
“American, I pay now; with this ho begaii
counting out skins, until he handed him ovet 2
twelve. Then, after a moment's pause, he of*
fered the trader one more, remarking ns he did
it: “That's it.” “I handed back,” said the Iran
der, “telling him he owed me but twelve and

to the door and gave a yell, and cried with a
loud voice. “Conic, come, and trade with the
pale face, he no cheat Indian ; his heart big.”
He then turned to' me and said: “You take that.

out of which the Constitution and the Union
sprung be once neglected, disregarded, and
spurned, and the tie that binds the States is
virtually dissolved, though a copy of the Con
stitution, written in letters of gold, be in the
hands of every man in the nation. Every true
friend to the nation will foster this spirit, and
he will frown upon those who would obliterate
it, as enemies to the Union. We of the South,
being the minority, have right9 which the Con
stitution guaranties and protects* hyt of which
a majority in Congress would rob us. This
fact is alarming in itself, even though that ma
jority comes from the Northern division of the
Confederacy. But what shall we think of those
even in ouf very midst who will stand by and
see the robbery committed, and then hide their
crime behind the hypocritical cry of Union!—
We warn our readers, as well as the Southern
people, in time, to beware of such hypocrisy.
To preserve, inviolate the Union and tho rights
of the Slates, is, and ought to be, tho para
mount object of every true patriot; and he de-
serves to be regarded as an enemy to both, who
preached ! would shield his invasion of tho one behind a
- 1 hypocritical profession of devotion to the other.

A Road made of Charcoal.
There is a Rosd leading from Washington Coun
ty to Dodge County in ^ isconsin, about 17 mile^
long made of charcoal, and it has been in successful
operation for two years. The cost of this road was
from five hundred to five hundred and twenty dollars'
per mile, and the repairs to the road have not ex
ceeded five dollars per mile each year. The re
pairs were necessary on account of some soft spon
gy places in the earth, where the coal was not pot
on with sufficient thickness 1 to prevent the ground
from giving way under the immense loads that past
it during the wet season. The number of
wagons that passed over this road in the year 1847
was over 18,000 many of them carrying 3500
000 pounds at a load, and drawn by three horses
with |»erfect ease.
The, mode of construct ion is, to cut down the
trees, place them in the road, and cover them up as
making charcoal at a pit, and then fired. When
burnt,’ the coal is raked down into shape, and with
a little earth thrown oh it to fill the interstices, the
road is complete.
lt is quite common to construct roads in Britain
with the ashes of the bitominiods chaT burned un
der boilers. Such mads however are not to be
compared to those made of broken stoUCa.

harbinger of comming events. The records of
that noble Commonwealth afford, for the bene
fit of us all, many instructive lessons of patriot
ism and purity of purpose. Amidst the various-
struggles of tho democracy, she is true to her
icient faith and character. As each contest •
thickens, her chivalric sons rush with redoubled
ardor into the field. Through good and evil
report, Virginia is the same. The noise of the
camp, the glitter of the weapons of war, and
the smoko and dust of the battle-field, some
times render her obscure for tho moment, but
at the close of the day she is seen emerging
from the conflict with her banner streaming in
the breath of heaven, aud herself covered all
over with glory.
Napoleon used to watch the white plume of
Murat with intense interest as he led on the
fearful charge; and frequently his crown aud
sceptre depended on his success. But he never
failed. So with - Virginia. Through all the
conflicts of parties, she main tains her position
with dignity and certainty. The eyes of the
people of the whole continent are always tunir
ed towards the “mother of States and of states
men.” . If she lias not at all times been able to
sever the democracy of the country from the
hands of the spoilers, her garments at least are'
uusoiled, and her honor untarnished.—Phila

The Crops in Carolina.
From a friend who has recently visited the
Districts of Lexington, Newberry, Laurens;
U nion, and Spailauburg, we learn that the wheat
crop in ail these districts has been more thud
half cut off by the late disastrous frosts and
drought. It is now certain that the crop will
not bo more than sufficient to provide for the
wants of the producers, and 0ur market will
not enlivened by tho large amounts of flour
which havo been received here and graced the
export lists of our merchants for the past ten
years. Id the country,^those persons, who usu
ally buy their flour, in many instances, have laid
in supplies off .the old crop at an advance Ott
rates demanded before the frosts; and we should
nbt be surprised to see flour go up to a high
figure. The fruit has all been cut off except itt
most favorable locations. A bad stand of cot-’
toil is the general Complaint; and the corn has
been retarded by the frequent freezings, it en
countered. In the woods, in many places, po6t
oaks, persimmon, and ether tender trees, havo
been entirely killed, and present now a deso
late appearance.—Carolinian, HM inst.
