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. —Fayetteville Observer. 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 delphia Ledger. 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. [Bell was about 25 years of age, edu cated, and formerly a physician, lie went to California ill 1849.] An Editor's Life.—An “out West” editor thus moralizes on the routine of editorial duties. Near twenty years’ consent experience iu the “ chair edito rial” does not enable us to deny the “ 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.''” &3/~ Some editor says that the destiny of the wot Id often hangs on the smallest trifles. A little miff between Chas. Bona parte and his love Letitia might have broken off a marriage which gave birth to Napoleon and the battle of Waterloo. To whieh the Chicago Advertiser says : “ Yes, tint is the fact. Suppose a “ little miff” had taken place between Adam and Eve? What then! There are many who waste and lose affection by ■careless neglect. It is not a plant to grow unnurtured. The rude touch may destroy its delicate tex ture for ever. Tlie srmbtle cords of love are chilled and snapped asunder hy neg lect “ I stand,” said a Western stump ora tor, “on the broad platform of the prin ciples o! ’9.8, and palsied be fisiwa arsa if I desert ’em.” “ You stand on nothing of the kind,” interrupted a little siioeuiita ker in the crowd: “you stand in my boots that you never paid me for, and I want the money.” A Pretty Riddle.—* l will consent to all you desire,” said a young lady to IDr lover, “on condition that you wili give me what you have not whatvou never can have, and yet what you can give me.” What did she ask for 2 A husband. &tT Hie California papers announce the death of John S.

LIDDON. 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 [2l] FLEMING BROS. For sale in Madison by Du. W S.

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 wrapper. 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.

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.

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.
