Helicon Springs, 1
Friday morning, March 23,1855. )
Mr. Editor : I am just from the abode
of misery and death. Asa magi-trate, 1
•was awaked this morning, between the
hours 12 and 3 o’clock, my one of by
neighbours, to take legal steps against
'Tlios. P. Gunnels, for the murder of his
wife. Having drunk to excess for the
past two or three days, his passions be
came infuriate, and for the alleged
offence of his wife’s refusing to comply
.with a certain request that she was un-
.jder no obligation to grant, his diabol.cal
arm was moved to give her many heavy
(jblows, over the head with a lightwood
knot, until her skull was broken, nay,
oven split from the top of her head to
.her nose, i.erleft eye knocked out, and
'the parts about the eye awfully bruised
and swollen, and on tire other side of
.her face and head a large piece of flesh
knocked out. But the day before yester
day, he gave a second daughter of his
.a dreadful blow on the top her head,
occasioning the blood to settle under her
•eyes, which were so -swollen, she could
scarcely see ; and on yesterday, his
eldest daughter, happening to come
i.near him in her passage through the
yard, when with his cherished instrument
rthe lightwood knot, he gave her also a
‘•heavy blow on the side of the head, leav
ing a large contusion, with matted hair
:.nnd blood.
Bailiff McDonald has him now on
. his way to the jail of thj county.
We cannot picture this awful circum
-stance as it deserves. A man more
demoniacal in look, I never expect to
see again this side of the Great Day.
There was a mingled wail of sorrow,
death and desolation. The insatiate
appetite of this inebriate, has been of
late so great, that nothing but liquor
could be bought. There was this morn
ing no bread in the house for the poor
little famishing children ; some five or
six were there, and their little pallid
. lips seemed to declare the awful doings
of the last night and two days previous :
Sir, surely distiess was there, the very
elements of things seemed perverted,
it was a night of adversity about the
•premises of Gunnels; his little son told
me, their only horse died last night, a
speedy winding up, it would seem, of his
prosperity and happiness.
ONE OF THE MAGISTRATES.
For the Southern Watchman.
M b. Editor :—If Know-Nothing ism
is abolitionism, how does it happen that
the chief plank in the platform of the
party is opposition to foreigners, and
the influence of foreigners in the affairs
of this Government, dll of whom are the
very rankest sort of abolitionists ? Ii
seems to me that the charge cannot be
well founded; for, if true, the Know-
Nothings would hug all foreigners to
their bosoms as the very best friends in
the world. Again: The charge is, that
Lyman Trumbull, the firee-soil, demo
cratic Senator elect, from Illinois, owes
his preferment to the Know-Nothings in
the Legislature of that State.. If this
be true, how did it happen that the same
Legislature that elected Trumbull, on
the very next day after the election,
passed resolutions denouncing Know-
Nothingism iu the severest sort of man
ner? Here, again, is a contradiction
that I cannot begin to reconcile. And
once more: It is said by the editors of
the democratic papers generally, that
the principles of the American party are
undemocratic and anti-republican, be
cause of their opposition to the appoint
ment of foreigners to offices in our Gen
eral and State Governments ; but how
does this charge consist with the rule
established by Thomas Jefferson, the
great apostle of democracy and republi
canism, shortly after his accession to
the Presidency, upon the subject of ap
pointing foreigners to offices, especially,
post offices? In a letter written to Na
thaniel Macon, of N. Carolina, Speaker
at the time, of the House of Representa
tives, dated the 14th of May, 1801, just
ten weeks after he went into the Presi
dential Chair, Mr. Jefferson says: *‘A
very early recommendation had been
given to the Post Master General to
employ no foreigner or revolutionary
tory, in any of his offices /” It does
seem to me from this, that even Mr.
Jefferson had a poor opinion of foreign
ers, classing them in the same category
with “ revolutionary tones,” in whose
honesty Mr. Jefferson had no sort of
confidence; and to show his anxiety on
the subject, he went about the exclusion
of foreigners the first thing he did after
taking the oath of office ; for he “ very
early” recommended, &c. Mr. Jeffer
son is accounted at this day, to have
been a pretty good democrat in his time,
and knew something about republican
ism ; and in his opinion it would not
conduce to the sale transmission of the
mails to entrust them in the hands either
of “ foreigners” or “ revolutionary Ro
ries,” all of whom he considered down
with about the same complaint, and
equally untrustworthy ! But times have
changed since the 14th of May, 1801,
and men with them; and I tread on
dangerous ground and had better desist!
Mr. Pierce may be a good‘democrat
in his way; and so may also be Mr.
Campbell, his P. M. General; but they
the loyalists, or friends of-ffie British
cause, in that day! In- conclusion, I
will illustrate my idea by the relation of
an anecdote: In 4844,' when the con
test between Messrs. Polk and Clay was
at boiling heat, a gentleman asked
another, who was from the. shores of
the Santee, what MiV Clay’s prospects
were down m his region of South Caro
lina ? The gentleman interrogated, re
plied that Mr. Clay’s prospects down
there were very slim; “ for,” said he,
“ there are no whigs on that water
course.” “ I should suppose not,” re
torted the other, “ for they were d—d
scarce there in the time of Marion!”

no one, 1 subscribe myself your, and the

hnvCf departed widely from the example
set them by the illustrious Jefferson.
Now, it is not wrong, but a virtue, in
Mr. Campbell, to remove native born
American citizens from the post offices
in the country, to make room for for
eigners, and dirty Roman Catholics at
that! This game has been played all
over the country. In Ohio, a clean
sweep of Protestant Post Masters, “ to
the manor born,” has been made, and
the descendants of the Hessians of 1776,
appointed in thiir places! Mr. Jeffer
son had no love for a Hessian, or the
descendant of a Hessian; but Mr,
Campbell has, and exhib' ts his affection
for them on all occasions.
The fact is, Jefferson and the tories
were never friendly—they were on dif
ferent sides; and I have.no doubt but
that there is many an .office-holder at
the present day, in this country, who is
entitled to a Pension from the British
Government, for distinguished services
rendered the tory and British armies by
their patriot sires in the revolutionary
war! I f their grand daddies could get
up, and exhibit to the proper officer of
the English Excheq-ier, the scars, con
tusions, and . bruises they received at the
hands of Washington, Greene, Lee
Marion, Sumpter and company, I am of
opinion these pensious and “ back-pay,’
would be forked over without further
proof or one word of complaint! I am
not saying, and do not wish to be uuder
stood, that the present democratic party
are descended lineally or collaterally,
from a tory stock, or ancestor; but I do
say, and history authorizes me to say
that the State worst infested with tories
in the days that tried men’s souls, is
now, and has always been, the most
thoroughly democratic State in this
Union! The-swamps away down on

THE HARRIED WOMAN’S
PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY DR. A. M. MAURICEAU,
1 raoKESSOR OF DISEASES OF WOMEN.
One Hundredth Edition.(500,000) IBtno., pp. 250.
[ ON FINE FAFJR, EXTRA BINDING, $ 100.]
A standard work of established reputation,
found classed in the catalogue; of the great
trade sales iu New-York, Philadelphia, aud
other cities, and sold by the principal book
sellers in the United States. It was first
published in 1847, since which time
Five Hundred Thousand Copies
have been sold, of which there were upwards
of one hundred thousand sent by
math attesting the high estimation in
which it is held as a reliable popular Medi
cal BOOK FOR EVERY FEMALE
the author having devoted his exclusive at
tention to the treatment of complaints pccu-
liarjtofemales,in respeetto which he is yearly'
consulted by thousands, both in person and
by letter.
Here every woman can discover, by com
paring her own symptoms with those de
scribed, the nature, character, causes of, aud
the proper remedies-for, hor complaints.
The wife ■ about becoming a mother has
often need of instuction and advice of the
utmost importance to her future health, ii:
respect to which her sensitiveness forbids
consulting a medical gentleman, will find
such instruction aud advice, and also explain
many symptoms which otherwise would oc
casion anxiety or alarm, as all the peculiari
ties incidout to her situation are described.
How many are suffering from obstructions
or irregularities peeuliartothe female system,
which undermine ; tbc health, effects of
which they are ignorant, and for which their
delicacy forbids seeking medical advice ?—
Many suffer from prolapsus uteri ( falling of
the womb), or from fittor alius (weakness,
debility, &c.) Many are in constant agony
for many mouths preceding confinement—-
Many have difficult, if not dangerous dclive
ries, ami slow and uncertain recoveries.—
Some whose livesaro hazarded during such
time, will each find in its pages the means of
prevention, amelioration land relief.
It is''of course impracticable to convey
fully the vat ions subjects treated of, as they
aro of a nature strictjy intended for the mar
ried o; those contemplating marriage.
In consequence of the universal populart-.
ty of the work, as evidenced by its extraor
dinary sale, various impositions have been
attempted, a3 well on booksellers as ou the
public, by imitations of the title page, spuri
ous editions, and surreptitious, infringements
of copyright, rtnd other devices and decep
tions. it has been found uecessary, therefore,
CAUTION THE PUBLIC
to buy no book unless'the words “ Dr. A. M
