Society, North and South.
Either from ignorance of the actual
state of Society at the South, orfrom adis
position to foment the feeling of unkind
ness between the two 'sections, or from
both causes combined, it is a habit of
the ultra free soilers to affirm that labor
is not the habit of the white people at
the South—is not respectable ; and that
mechanics and laboring men cannot get
i.-to what they are pleased to call “ soci
ety.” We once knew of a Northern ladv
asking one from the South, with whom
she had a casual acquaintance, whether
ladies ever did any work at the South ?
“To be sure they do,” replied the
Southern lady; “ probably quite as much
as you do at the North.” “Is it possi
ble ! hy I thought you lay on the
sofa all day, and had two or three little
negroes to fan you ! n
On tins subject we copy to-day from
the Charleston Courier, a judicious and
sensible letter, from an excellent friend
of ours, James J. McCarter, Esq.,' *
, native of New Jersey, but for a third of a
century a citizen of Charleston, who by
l the annual visits to the home of his bov
fchood, is thoroughly conversant with the
there, and by this letter,
Hk well as modes, has endeavored
enlighten and to remove
prejudice. \
V> liilst at the North the past summer,
we heard a characteristic anecdote of
Mr. McCarter, which we are tempted
to relate. Some two or three years ago
he attended a public meeting in a town
among his native hills, at which a rant
ing deinaw)gue delivered himself of a
tirade ofabuse of the South and its in
stitutions, and harped particularly upon
the pretended degradation of labor, assert
ing that no mechanic or laboring man
could attain to a respectable position
in society.
When lie had closed, Mr. McCarter
asked to be indulged in making a few
remarks on this part of the speech. He
had no doubt the gentleman spoke what
lie believed to be true, but unfortunately
he knew nothing of the matter about
which lie spoke. “I, (said Mr. MoC.,) am
known to most of you, and my opportu
nities for knowing the truth on this point
are known to you. You know that I
went to Charleston from New Jersey in
early r manhood, and that I was a
mechanic. Well, in that city, I pulled
off my coat, rolled up my sleeves, and in
as public a manner as the nature of my
vocation admitted of, went to work.—
And I can assure you, my friends, that
in two years I had attained to as high
a social position as I coaid have reached
in New Jersey in twenty years."
This, in the language of our informant
“brought down the house."
Mr. McCarter is a living illustration
of the truth that labor is honorable and
respectable in the South. Besides having
a most enviable ralßt in social life, bis
fellow citizens have just elected him to
the Legislature, in his absence, in defi
ance of his Northern birth and of his
politics, in which he never liad a lean
ing to nullification, secession, or disunion.

A Second Jack Sheppard.
CJeo. W. Townsend, who was sentenced
to two rears in the Delaware State Pri
son, at Newcastle, for robbing the Post
Office at Wilmington, Delaware, has suc
ceeded in breaking jail again. This is
the fourth time lie has escaped from this
prison. The first time, while in prison
awaiting his trial, ho broke jail and lot
out three other prisoners; on the same
night there were some six or seven stores
Woken into in Wilmington. Shortly
after this eseape, Townsend was recogized
and arrested in Pliialdelphia, and a por
tion of the goods taken from the stores
was found on his person; he also had on
his person five heavily loaded yistols, and
a large dirk knife.
Iu a few days after lie was lodged in
the old,quarters he again escaped from his
cell, and had reached the top of the wall,
and was in the act of jumping down oa
the outside, when lie was discovered by
tbe sheriff; the sheriff fired at him, and
be was captured. Shortly after this see.
oud attempt to escape his trial eame off
Before he was sentenced, he made a
strong appeal to the court for clemency ;
that he was sorry for what lie had done 1
would reform, &c. About a month after
Jie .was sentenced he made his third es
cape from the prison: this time be let
out two other prisoners with him;
and on the same night the post office at
Wilmington was robbed. This time be
was recognized by the conductor, while
.in the car* between Wilmington and
Chester. The conductor locked both
ends of the ear, and when they reached
Chester an officer was procured and
Townsend was again arrested. Or.a of
the parsons be had let oyt of prison,
named Oyster Charley,” was with him
in the car, and was a!s) arrested.
Townsend was taken back to the pri
son, and this tine, to make sure of him,
he was put in double irons, which means
hand cuffs and hobbles or leg irons. He
was locked in his cell aud closely watch-
ill i| ii| ijßi lilißLi | m m
~~
ed. Notwithstanding all this precaution,
he again effected another and a fourth es.
cape on Friday night last. This time he
had filed or sawed off his hand-cuffs and
leg irons, and cutting a hole through the
oak floor of his cell, he descended into a
room below, from llu*re he got into the
prison yard, and then scaled the wall
which is about twenty feet high. Ilis
feats will rival those of Jack Sheppard or
Sixteen String Jack. He is certainly
the most successful Jail breaker in this
country, and while be is now at large, will
no doubt, improve on bis past experience.
Townsend is a youug man, about nine
teen years of age, about five feet six inches
high, well and compactly built, light bair
and complexion, and blue eyes.—Phila

Last Letter of a Highwayman.
A notorious highwayman of California,
known as Tom Bell, was lately captured
and executed a few hours afterwards.—
In the interval be wrote the following
letter to his Mother, who resides iu Ten
nessee. It goes to prove that there is
something of the anr e l left even in the
vilest. Let the young take the warning
which he gives !
Sajj Joaquin, October 4th, 185 G.
Dear Mother : As I am about to make
my exit to another country', I take this
opportunity to write you a few lines.—
Probably you may never bear from me
again ; if not, I hope we may meet where
parting is no more.
In my prodigal career in this country
I have always recollected your foml ad
monitions, and if I had lived up to them
probably 1 would not have been in my
present condition; but, dear Mother,
although my fate lias been a cruel one
yet I have no one to blame but myself.
Give my respects to all my old youthful
friends. Tell them to beware of bad as
sociations, and never to enter into any
gambling saloons, for that has been my
ruin.
If my old grandmother is living, re
member mo to her. With these remarks
I bid you farewell forever.
Yoiffonly boy, Tom.

An Editor's Life.—An “out West”
editor thus moralizes on the routine of
editorial duties. Near twenty years’

“ soft impeachment,” but the compari
sons have amused us somewhat.— Geo.
Con.
“ The poorest blind horse in the
most uncompromising bark-mill, has his
moments of relaxation. To him the
sound of the tannery bell, announcing
noon, is a tocsin of joy, and he looks for
ward with grateful anticipation to his
prandial oats and mill feed. The weari
some round is stopped; and unlubri
cated gudgeons quaver out the last squeak
and cease their complaining; the trace
chain rattles over the animal’s back, and
lie attempts a youthful canter as ho
moves off, a happy old horse. With
him there are no anticipatory woes; l.e
works in a circle, but a certain number
of turns are sure to brings respite. Blit
with the editor it is otherwise; his life
is, as Mr. Manlilini feelingly remarks,
“one dem’d grind ;” his machine never
stops. Hot weather, headaches, sick
ness at home are no relief to his perpet
ual routine, for the paper must come out
and ‘copy must be furnished.''”

of the wot Id often hangs on the smallest
trifles. A little miff between Chas. Bona

to Napoleon and the battle of Waterloo.

WORMS ! WORMS ! WORMS!
A great many learned treaties
have been written, explaining the origin of and
classifying the worms generated in the human
system. Scarcely any topic of medical science
h is elicited more acute observation and profound
research; and yet physicians are very much
divided in opinion on the subject. It must be
admitted, however, that, after all, a inode of ex.
polling them and purifying the body from their
presence is of more value than the wisest dis
quisitions as to their origin.
Such an expelling agent has at last been found
Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge proves to be the much
sought after specific—its efficacy being universally
acknowledged by the entire medical faculty. As
further proof, read the following from a lady—one
of our own citizens :
New York, October 15th, 1852.
This is to certify that I was troubled with
worms for more than a year. I was advised to
use JT Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by-
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh. I took one bottle
which brought away about fifty worms; I com
menced improving at once, and am now perfectly
well. The public can learn my name, and further
particulars, by applying to Mrs. Hardie, No. 8
Manhattan place, or to E. L. Theall, Druggist,
corner of Rather and Monroe streets.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR,
M‘LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE,
manufactured by FLEMING BROS, of Pitts
burg, Pa. All other Vermifuges in compari
son are worthless. «• . M’Lane’s genuine Verm i
fuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be
had at all respectable drugstores. None genu
ine without the signature of

“HOPE NEVER DIES.”
Read the following tribute to
WISTARV3 BALSAM, from the Kinderhook
(N. Y.) Sentinel, dated July 31: —
“ A remarkable cure of Consumption has re
cently been effected by this medicine, in the
town of Chatham, in this county, and which
was related to us by Dr. Herrick, an eminent
physician of that town, to whom we have per
mission to refer. A young lady who had long
labored under an affection of the lungs, was con
sidered by her friends as beyond the reach of
medicine, and she was informed by her medical
attendant that she must die. She was induced
to send for a bottle of WISTAR’S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY as a last resort. Theyoung lady
experienced great relief, and two more bottles
were successively procured and administered.—
She is now happy in tbe restoration of health.”
None genuine unless signed I. BUTTS on the

The Grand Secret of Health.
At least one half of our sick population
of both sexes and all ages, might enjoy robust
health if they could only be brought to believe,
practically, that ‘ cleanliness is next to godliness.’
For this reason every invention of genius and
discovery of science that renders bathing a luxu
ry, merits the thanks and patronage of every re
al philanthropist. The “ Balm of a Thousand
Flowers f more than any other cosmetic in the
world, effects this object: it impregnates the vva
ter—hard and soft, hot and cold—with a medici
nal property very invigorating to the body, and
gives to it an oily softness, and sweet perfume,
which cause the bather a delicious feeling of per
sonal comfort, purity and health.

It will be remembered thatnn.ooutof ev«.„*
of those cases of long continued debility arise tr”
disease of tlie stomach. Debility, loss of strength,
languor and prostration of system, are mer esgmp*
toms of disease, and the disease, in a "reat major
ity of cases, is in the mucus membrane of the
stomach , and to this membrane should remedial
treatment be directed, that tbe cause may be remo
ved, and with it the prostration of system.
It is very frequently asked, How long must I
take the Remedy ? How long will it take to cure
me? These are very hard questions to answer,
for the duration of treatment will depend very
much upon the patient—her temperament, condi
tion, or state of system. It should be remembered
by every female, that the disease which they look
upon as “ general debility,” and the paost ration of
the powers of the system, has been growing upon
them perhaps for years, and of course time must
be allowed for the system to grow back again into
a state of health. The system, under the influence
of this Remedy, will very soon recruit itself; but
miraculous cures must not he looked for, even if it
is Bliss’ Dyspeptic Remedy that they are taking.
It would be too much to expect of this* or an v other
Remedy, that a disease which has been growing
upon tlie patient a»>d taking deeper and deeper
root into the system,yen r after year- shall be cured
in a few days,or even in a few weeks. Although
its good effects will be experienced in a very short
time, yet the restoration to health is always a slow

and aches, pains in the back, loins, face, bead, Ac.,
will all gradually subside.
I am \£ry frequently inquired of whether it
would not be well to take some ofthe preparations
of iron in conjunction with the Remedy. No; take
nothing, for you need nothing else; and besides,
the preparations of iron, bismuth, Ac., would, m a
great many cases, produce only an additional irri
tation ot the stomach, the very thing that, you are
trying to get clear of; and not only this, those
preparations would do no good, for* they would
not be taken into the circulation, from the closed
state of the mouths of the lacteal vessels, which I
have already described in my previous advertise
ments In conclusion, let me once more assure
every female that by a steady and persevering
taking of the Remedy she may have every hope of
recovery ; but unless, when its use is commenced,
there be a determination to take it regularly, I
would not advise the trial of it, as neither the pro
prietor, nor those having it for sale, desire any one
to take it unless they do so iu good faith.
