THE DAUGHTER OF BBAUTT.
Sweet daughter of Boasty,
Fair sister of Lnve,
Thine eyes are the load-stars
That kindle dbove :
Like the mantle of Night,
As it float* on the air,
Is the clustering cloud
Os thy dark raven hair.
On a fair sunny isle,
A gem of the sea,
There would I lire ever,
With thee, love, with thee; ’
No shadows might dim
Such an Eden of joy—
For nought but delight
Should our moments employ.
Oh might I but dwell love,
In that fairy place,
I never would weary
To gaze on thy face ;
Bewildered with pleasure,
I’d linger for aye
’Neath the radiant glance
Os thy beautiful eye. r. H . D ,
Robespierre*
The following sketch ol Robespierre will re
mind men of what we all see and know, though
lew draw the proper inference—namely, that
even cowardice, the most abject, can render
harmless a chartered and pampered villain:
•‘ln fine, that he was beyond most men that
ever lived, hateful, selfish, unprincipled, cruel,
unscrupulous, is undeniable. That he was
not the worst ot the Jacobin group may also be
without hesitation affirmed. Collot d’Herbois
was probably worse; Billaud Garennes certain
ly, ot whom it was said by Garat, “Il fauche
dans les tetes, comine un autre dans les pres,”—
(he mows down heads as another would grass.)
But neither of these men had the same fixity of
purpose, and both were inferior to him in speech.
Both, however, and indeed all the revolutionary
chiefs, were his superiors in the one great qual
ity of courage; and, while his want of boldness,
his abject poverty of spirit, made him as despi
cable as he was odious, we are left in amaze
ment at his achieving the place which he filled,
without the requisite most essential to success
in times of trouble, and to regard as his distin
guishing but pitiful characteristic the circum
stance which leaves the deepest impression up
on those who contemplate his story, and in
which he is to be separated from the common
herd of usurpers, that his cowardly nature did
not prevent him from gaining the prize which in
all other instances has been yielded to a daring
spirit.
“Such was Robespierre—a name at which
all men still shudder. Reader, think not that
this spectacle has been exhibited by Providence
for no purpose, and without any use. It may
serve as a warning against giving way to a
score of creatures that seem harmless, because
of the disproportion between their mischievous
propensities and their powers to injure, and
against suffering them to breathe and to crawl
till they begin to ascend into regions where they
may be more noxious than in their congenial
dunghill or native dust. No or.e who has cast
away all regard to principle, and is callous to
all human feelings, can be safely regarded as
iunocuous, merely because, in addition to oth
er defects, he has also the despicable weakness
ofbeing pusillanimous and vile.”
Natural Eloquence.—An honest old farmer
in Vermont has lately taken it into his head,
that he has been “ called to preach”—and
preach he will, in despite of the advice of his
friends. The following is an extract from one
of the old gentleman’s sermons.
“ My dear hearers, in the fust place I’ll show
that man is an undone critter ; secondly, that a
savior has been perwided ; and thirdly, how he
is to get out of this pickle.”
Having thus, in the most approved manner,
laid out his work, he continues in the following
strain:
“It is recorded somewhere in the good Book,
1 think it is either in the Psalms or the book ot
St. Acts, that man was at fust created unpandi
cular, but he has found out many sorts of con
trivances. Now, my friends, I hold that about
the biggest of these contrivances are sin. Sin,
my hearers, are seeditian—and seeditian is the
old Adam—the evil seed—the tares and the
wheat—dou’t you see? Sin, my friends, has
cost the world a great deal. It costs a man more
than it would to keep a cow—yes, even if she
sot her foot in the pail of new milk every other
night, and would hook down rail fence like a
tarnel saroent. Don’t you see how foolish it is,
then 1 Why, you can’t computate what a na
tion of hurt it has done to the airth and all that’s
in it. If it had’nt been for sin, there never
would have been any airthquakes, nor thunder
nor rain; and snow storms, aud caverns, and the
eatracks, and precipices, would’nt never a hap
pened—but the world would have all been as
level and smooth as a dish 1 There wouldn’t
been no up-hill, nor nothing to hurt and defrac
tify the poor weak ancestors of fallen Adam.
Oh, my friends, I feel to put it into you the
rael gospel licks I You’re all a pack of sinners,
so you are—you’ve gone astray —you wander in
forbidded paths—the sperit aint with you—in
the words of the apostel, ye hatch cock turkey’s
eggs, and weave the spider’s web, and bring
forth young vipers—don’t you see? and soon,
an so on’ rattle-le-bang, like a locomotive turn
ed loose under a high pressure of steam, hardly
pausing to take breath for two mortal hours,
pouring 1 .. a such a confused jumble of man
gled scripture, murdered English, and unmit
igated nonsense, that his “ firstly,” “ secondly,”
and “ thirdly,” were soon smothered to death,
aud no further intelligence was heard of them
during the discourse. This is no caricature;
for it would be impossible to caricature; this
* son of 1 thunder ; for dashing at once into un
mixed absurdity, there is nothing left for the
imagination of the caricaturist to supply.”
Correspondence of the N. Y. Express.
Washington, December 9th.
“Help me Cassius, or I sink."
The readers ot the Express may not all be
aware of the efforts ot J ohn Tyler to secure a re
election.—“ Stick at nothing,” seems to be the
determination of the President and his sons, and
it is this ambition for fame and love of office
which has made his administration the most
corrupt, that has ever existed, and more corrvpt,
it is believed, than all other administrations put
together.
The Mr. Abell alluded to is the gentlemen
who was recently bearer of despatches to Texas,
and who only last week was a second time sent
from Washington to Texas with'despatches.
“President’s Hoose, Nov. 30, 1843.
Sir—As it is considered important, in justice
to the President, to circulate among the people
the work spoken of by Mr. Abell in his accom
panying lei ter, yon will confer a favor on the
undersigned by taking such measures for that,
and as Mr. A. suggests.
Prompt action and a liberal subscription will
render your services still mare useful.
I am, very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t.
JOHN TYLER, Jun’r.”
Washington, Nov. 30 1843.
Dear Sir—A Life of President Tyler, in
cluding his principal speeches when in Congress,
and his other public papers, messages, &c. com
piled from the most authentic sources is now being
issued by Harper & Brothers. The volume is
an Bvo. of some 300 pages, finely printed, with a
handsomely executed portrait of the President,
and in consideration of the large sale confidently
expected, is furnished by the publishers at the
low price of SSO per hundred As you will
doubtless be pleased to aid in setting the acts of
Mr. Tyler’s public life properly and truthfully
before the people, it is believed that you will
cheerfully subscribe for 60 or 70 copies of the
work, to be distributed as you shall think best.
Your order, directed to me here, with the sub
scription money, will be immediately supplied,
and it is hoped and expected that the subscrip
tion will be prompt and liberal.

These are only a pair of letters. There are
more of similar import, which I may send you.
Please ask Mr. Tyler, if it is not an impertinent
question, how much of the Life of John Tyler
was written at the White House.
Q. IN THE CORNER.
True Inspiration.—We have seen a great
many affectations about the feelings inspired by
traveling through the “ Holy Land;” but we
have never seen any thing more beautiful or
full ot sacred feelings, than the following, from
the painter, Wilkie’s life; —
“ ‘ When I went,’ says Collins, the artist, ‘ to
bid Sir David Wilkie farewell, a day or two be
fore he left home for his last journey, I fouud
him in high spirits, enlarging, with all his high
enthusiasm, on the immense advantage he
might derive from painting upon holy land, on
the very ground on which the event he was about
to embody had actually occurred. To make a
study at Bethlehem from some young femaleand
child, seemed to me one great incentive to his
journey. I asked him if he had any guide book.
He said ‘ Yes, and the very bestand then un
locking his travelling box he showed me a pock
et Bible. I never saw him again ; but the Bi
ble throughout Judea, was, 1 am assured, his
best and only hand-book.’ ”
“You mustn’t smoke here, sir,” said the cap
tain of a North river steamboat to a man who
was smoking am >ng the ladies on the quarter
deck. “I mustn’t, hey! Why not?” replied he,
opening his capacious mouth, and allowing the
smoke lazily to escape. “Didn’t you see the
sign? all gentleman are requested not to smoke
abaft the engine.” “Bless your soul, that don’t
mean me—l’m no gentleman!”— North Amiri'
can.
A beautiful Idea—Knowledge of Men.
One evening there was an illumination, and we
sat on one margin of the lake to take a prospect
of it on the other. But I, instead of looking
upon the lambs, looked into the water and up to
the sky, and there stood a clear, beautiful star
aloft, and immoveable. In the water 1 saw it
also, beautiful indeed, but often moved by the
wind, changing its torm, and not seldom dim.
Suddenlly the thought struck me, so it is with
men ;we know them, we judge them, only in
the strangest, most complex, and often most un
natural relations, far away from their proper
selves, in situations and in atmostpheres where
they are shaken, and troubled, and become dim.
We look always one way—down—into some
muddy pond (called belike History) where the
peal character of a man is tossed upon the waves
of a vain opinion. Pitiful ’—look up at once
into the man’s face—into his soul—where God
give* you opportunity.
At an adjourned meeting ot the Citizens of
Huntsville, on Thursday, the 30th November,
1843, for the purpose of promoting a connec
tion with the Atlantic Seaboard and the waters
of the Mobile Bay, the Chairman ot the Com
mittee appointed at the last meeting, John H.
Lewis, Esq., presented the following Report and
Resolutions, which, on motion, were unani
mously adopted, viz:
REPORT.
The undersigned, appointed a committee un
der a resoluion adopted at a meeting held by the
citizens of Madison county, Ala., in the town
of Huntsville, on the 18th inst., Report, that
they have bestowed their best reflections on the
subject submitted to them, and regret that the
amount of authentic information at their com
mand is wholly incommensurate with the mag
nitude and importance of the subject. They
have, however, arrived at the conviction that
here can exist no project of deeper or more a
biding interest to the whole State of Alabama,
whether it be regarded in a social or commer
cial point of view, than a direct communication
between North and South Alabama, andanout
let to the Atlantic seaboard. From all your com
mittee are able to gleam, these desirable objects
can be accompished by opening two routes which
present themselves as combining more advanta
ges, and can be achieved at less expense, than
any other. One of these crosses the Northern
part of the State along the line of the Tuscum
bia, Courtland and Decatur Rail Road; thence
60 miles up the Tennessee River to Gunter’s
Landing; thence 23 miles by Rail Road to Dou
ble Springs on the Coosa River, thence up the
Coosa River about 70 miles to Rome, in the
State of Georgia, the destined terminus of the
Monroe branch Railroad. Your committee are
advised that Steamboats of light draft are in pre
paration, designed for the navigation of the
Tennessee and Coosa rivers, between the points
designated, and that the 3'2 miles ot Rail Road
from one to the other of these rivers will com
plete the chain of inter-communication, by
Steamboat and Rail Road, with the whole At
lantic seaboard. The route of 32 miles, your
committee learn, was surveyed in 1837, and the
elevation of the Sand Mountain, the only bar
rier presenting itself, found to be only 518 feel
above the Tennessee River, and even at this
period ot high prices its cost ofs completion,
with stationary power at the acclivity ol the
mountain, (which there is every probability
can be dispensed with) was only estimated at
about Three Hundred Thousand Dollars. As
suming as a hypothesis the terms of the late let
tings ot contracts for similar work in the State
of Georgia, probably one half this sum will
complete the whole line, and your committee
believe that even this estimate may be reduced
by purchasing slaves to do the labor, besides
incidentally benetitting the culture of Cotton by
withdrawing so much of slave labor from its
production. Although your committee have
thus pointed out the line of communication
wi:h the Atlantic Seaboard and hesitate to point
out a communication between the Northern and
Southern part of the State, they here declare
that it is not from any lack of conviction of its
grer.t importance, nor from a want of materials
to form a proper judgment as to the best route,
but from a belief that its location should be de
ferred to the decision ot their fellow-citizens of
the South residing more contiguous to the route.
They cannot, however, forbear expressing their
conviction that a channel of communication
between North and South Alabama, contiibut
ing so extensively to the internal commerce of
the State, and strengthening the social and po
litical bonds of the people, is of itself a con
sideration, enough to justify the completion of
the work.
Your committee regret that they have not
time to present a statistical account of the for
eign and domestic commerce that would traverse
these lines of communication. It will, proba
ably, be deemed sufficient to say, that Eighty
Thousand Bales or Cotton raised in North Ala
bama, and that part of Tennessee bordering on
it would find its way to the Seaboard by these
routes, and that the eastern route would afford
such facilities as to cause it to be adopted imme
diately, not only for imports, but as a thorough
fare of travel for all this region of the Missis
sippi valley, to and from the Eestern cities.—
Already has this route been tried by our Mer
chants, and ni twithstanding a land transporta
tion of 250 miles, proved to be the saftest, most
expeditious, and least expensive of any route
known; and we hazard but little in saying that
the whole trade of imports for North Alabama
and the Southern Counties of Middle Tennes
see, is destined, immediately, to shift to this
channel. Your committee will only glance
at a few advantages, in a commercial point
of view, which this communication would
afford by contrasting its facilities with those
which now exist. In the first place, it would
rid us of our present dependence on the fresh
ets in our rivers, of a long, circuitous, danger
ous and expensive transit to a market in which
our staple finds the most burdensome charges,
and is entirely at the mercy of purchasers. It
would not only diminish the expense of sale of
our Staple, but would give us quick returns
and a choice of two markets on the Atlantic
Seaboard, to wit: Charleston, S. C., and Sa
vannah, Georgia, which are uniformly a hall
cent per pound better for Cotton that the New
Orleans market, and saving a transit of two
thousand miles to the great Cotton marts of Eu
rope. In addition to this a certain market would
be afforded us for the Bagging, Rope, Bacon,
Beef, Flour, &c., which can be so abundantly
produced in the Tennessee valley. If the com
munication were opened with South Alabama,
the articles of produce just mentioned which
are now supplied through Mobile and New Or
leans, subject to heavy charges and exposed to
the pernicious effects of a warm, humid clim
ate, would be furnished at low prices and in
sound condition. Nor would it be proper in
enumerating the advantages to result from the
two projected improvements to omit the mention
of the vast mineral wealth of North Alabama.
Iron ore and Stone coal present themselves in
inexhaustible bodies, whilst the extensive water
power and unparalelled salubrity of the climate
in Northern and Eastern Alabama, mark it as
the chosen region for Manufactures in the South;
requiring only capital, skill, and a cheap tran
sit to market to give them vitality. The ad
vantages in a social, political and commercial
point of view, to result from these great works
would be further demonstrated in the increased
mail and travelling facilities. It the Eastern
connection were found wecould travel toCharles
ton with comfort in 3 days, and to New York in
5 days.
In order to exhibit the practicability of ma
king the connection with the Atlantic Seaboard,
by constructing the 32 miles of Rail Road be
tween the Tennessee and Ccosa rivers, it is ne
cessary to glance at the present and prospective
condition of the Rail Roads in Georgia, and
your committee have ascertained the following
facts. A line of Rail Road is completed from
Charleston S. C., to Madison, Ga. 241 miles.—
The last link in the Georgia Rail Road, from
Madison to Decatur, Ga. about 58 miles, is un
der contiact —in rapid progress of construction,
and will be finished in 18 months, at farthest,
from this time. The Western and Atlantic
Rail Road from Decatur (the junction with the
Georgia road) is graded to a point above Cass
ville, and the superstructure now in progress of
being laid down, and to be completed by the
first of April next. The “Memphis branch Rail
Road” from a point near Cassville to Rome on
the Coosa river, a distance of about sixteen
miles, is under contract, to be completed by the
connection is formed below, say in eighteen
months, thus perfecting the grand chain of Rail
Roads from Charleston to Rome nearly four
hundred miles in length. Your Committee have
already alluded to the fact that Steamboats are
preparing for the navigation of the Coosa and
Tennessee rivers, designed, expressly, to pro
mote the connection between the line of Rail
Roads in Georgia and the Tennesse Valley, and
that the short link of Rail Road between these
two rivers is the only thing wanted to perfect a
channel of communication, by Steamboat and
Rail Road, with the Atlantic border. But not
only is this achannel of communication with
the Valley of the Tennessee, b it, by the use of
the Tuscumbia, Courtland ar.d Decatur Rail
Road around the Muscle Shoals and the Ten
nessee Rivet below, with the whole Mississippi
Valiev, and most truly and emphatically with
the "Great West.”
Your Committee have not in the examination
of this subject pretermitted the consideration of
the ways and means by which it is to be accom
plished. They forbear to recommend the mode
ot its completion, whether by individual asso
ciation combined with State resources, or by
State enterprise alone. They will, however,
direct attention to the two per cent, fund relin
quished by the Federal Government to the State
of Alabama upon the express condition that it
should be appropriated to the opening of a com
munication between the Tennessee river and the
waters of Mobile Bay and the construction of a
road leading from West Point on the Georgia
line to Jackson, Alabama. This fund in 1841
amounted to $228,415 22 and was payable in
two equal instalments, falling due Ist ot May,
1812 and Ist of May, 1843. The first instal
ment was, by law, invested in Treasury notes
bearing interest, but your Committee are not ad
vised ot the condition of the last instalment. It
is believed that subsequent sales of public lands
with accruing interest has swelled the amount
of the whole fund to nearly three hundred thou
sand dollars, all of which is solemnly pledged
for the works referred to, and will, no doubt, be
in good faith so appropriated whenever the pub
lic will is made to act on their Representatives
in the Legislature. Your Committee deem the
connection of the Tennessee and Coosa Rivers
by Rail Road as carrying out the stipulations
of the law in regard to opening a commnnica
tion between the North and South, and by a
wonderful adaptiveness it can be made available
for an Eastern outlet. And when it is consider
ed that the States of South Carolina and Georgia
have thought it a measure of wisdom to con
struct a line of Rail Roads four hundred miles
in length, at an outlay of upwards of Four Mil
lions of Dollars, for the object of a connection
with the Tennessee Valley and the Great West,
can it be unwise in the State of Alabama to
construct thirty-two miles ot Rail Road in order
to meet their noble works and thereby accom
plish their grand design, and that for our own
benefit ?
The problem is solved! The works of South
Carolina and Georgia have demonstrated the
wisdom of the undertaking by their productive
ness as well as by the enhanced value of real
estate iu every section of those States within the
influence of those works; the conclusion is irre
sistible that if it has proven the wisdom of States
just mentioned to make such a vast outlay of
capital to construct a line of communication to
our border, it would be anything but wisdom in
Alabama to reject the benefit of these great
works when offered to us on the terms pointed
out, which amounts, indeed, to a gratuity.
Therefore, Resolved, that delegates be appoint
ed by the chair to visit Tuscaloosa toconferwith
the friends of the protected works as to the best
mode of accomplishing them; and also to urge
the Legislature to make an appropriation for a
survey of the route between the Tennessee and
Coosa rivers.
Resolved, That delegates be appointed by the
chair to visit the States of Georgia and South
Carolina, and to report to a meeting to be held in
Huntsville on the third Monday in May next,
the state and condition of their Railroads, and
also such statistical facts as they may deem use
ful in illustrating the benefits to result to this
State from a connexion with them, and the most
practicable plan for making such connection.
Resolved, That the two per cent, fund ceded
by the General Government to the State of
Alabama for the express purpose of connecting
the waters of the Tennessee River with those of
Mobile Bay and a road leading from West Point
in Georgia to Jackson in Alabama, should be
devoted to these objects alone; and any attempt
to divert it from this purpose whouldbe a palpa
ble violation of public faith and destructive of
the best interests of the whole State.
Resolved, That the forgoing Report and Res
olutions be forwarded to the members of the Leg
islatures and Presidents of the Rail Roads in
Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, and
that they be published with the proceedings of
this meeting in the newspapers in this town.
The Chairman named Dan’l B. Turner, Esq.
and Col. Robt. Fearn, as delegates to visit the
States of Georgia and South Carolina, in pursu
ance of the second Resolution, and on motion ol
Judge Louis Wyeth of Marshall county, Rich
mond Nickles Esq., of Marshall, was added to
this delegation. On motion a standing commit
tee ot correspondence was appointed, with power
to call meetings whenever occasion required,
consisting of the following gentlemen viz: Dr.
T. Fearn, Wm.J. Mastin, J. I. Donegan and
George Cox,
The chairmafi then real letters which he fiad
received from citizens of Jackson and DeKalb
counties, expressing their hearty approval of the
object of this meeting, and their desire to lend
any aid in their power towards its accomplish
ment; and then on motion the meeting adjourned.
B. M. LOWE, Chairman.
George Cox, Secretary.
advice TO FARMERS’ DAUGHTERS
A female correspondent of the Tennessee Ag
riculturist, last year wrote several communica
tions under the signature of Lucy, containing
much wholesome advice to farmers’ wives and
daughters, and we find she has again resumed
her labors in an address to Farmers’ Daugh
ters. Her communications of last year were
greatly admired and extensively copied, and we
think our own readers will conclude after read
ing the subjoined, which is the first of her new
series, that it is destined to find as much favor
with the intelligent as did her former ones.—
Amer, Farmer.
to farmers’ daughters.
The desire of information is necessary in or
der to the acquisition of it, and as books are
one of the principal sources from which we de
rive our most valuable knowledge, I will talk
to you about them, and a few other matters this
evening. A taste tor reading should be cultiva
ted by all young persons. 1 consider a fondness
for useful books one of the greatest blessings.
Without this, there are so many hours that pass
away heavily and idly, and for which no good
account can be rendered in time or eternity.—
In bad weather, I have seen young ladies lounge
about, not knowing what to do with themselves,
because they could not go out to visit or shop.—
The case is so much altered, when you can sit
down with pleasure to a good book, and heed
less whether it rain, or the sun shine, can read
on, determining to improve the dark days of life
by laying up those stores ot knowledge so much
needed in after time. You derive pleasure not
only from the book, but also from the reflection,
I have improved the time. I have learned
something I did not know before. It is of great
importance that you have the right kind of
books. Many young persons read, and it would
be better for them if they were ignorant of the
alphabet. They read for present excitement,
and of couise, novels are the only books lor
which they have an appetite. It is my opinion,
you had better not read at all, than acquire a
passion for them, tor it generally amounts to a
passion. Girls who read many novels lose
their common sense and heattny action olmind;
They dream over the love sick eloquence of the
heroines, the beauty, bravery, and noble bear
ing of the heroes; all the great events therein
related are pondered over, until the common af
fairs and duties of every day existence, are
tasteless and disgusting, and they are thrown
aside whenever it is possible, for the favorite
novels. This is not always the worst evil re
sulting from improper reading. The splendid
qualities of the heroes are transferred to some
living character; it is imagined he has the deep
dark and lustrous eye, the wreathing hair, the
marble brow, the noble and high born grace of
a Thaddeus, a Sir William Wallace, or some
other imaginary favorite; and it is all the same
whether he be a gambler, a play actor, or a
horsethief, she believes it not: reflection is at
an end, and the novelist wakes from her dream,
to bear her bitter tot in the stem realities of life,
without preparation of mind or heart. On the
contrary, useful books impart strength and vig
or to the mind, discipline it to bear the misfor
tunes of life, render it more capable of judging
the true character ot others, and of acting with
discretion in all trying situations. Read for in
stance the life of a Franklin, a Washington, a
Miss Hannah More, and you find in every page
something to imitate, something to better the
heart and life. In Miss M. you see a woman
of true feminine grace and dignity, one who
learned and taught the art of “growing old
gracefully.”
If you will read novels, read but tew, and
those selected by some one upon whose judg
ment you can depend. Miss Edgeworth, if I
might hazard an opinion, is one of the very few
whose works may be read with safety and even
profit. She has sense, practical every day com
mon sense, that is good for use. She talks a
bout industry, economy, correct principles and
actions. She possesses at the same time deli
cacy and propriety in all things. Better for you
to read the pure morality that lives in her writ
ings, than to pore over the passionate effusions
of the corrupt Bulwer. He it is, who now
writes, and forms the taste of millions, and
when he talks of love, how fervently do his
tones of tenderness gush forth, as if he had a
heart to appreciate the holier sentiments of hu
man nature. But while he thus writes, he can
treat even with personal violence, the beauti
ful wife who loved and trusted,—who gave to
him the first pure affection of her noble heart;
he can separate her from her children, drive her
from his home to take refuge with strangers,
and even follow her with insult and persecution
But lam digressing. There is another article
1 will mention. Read but few books, and let
your knowledge be accurate. Understand per
fectly what you read, it is better to gain two
ideas you can appropriate to your own use,
than to have a confused i dea of fifty things.—
One of our great men attributes all the distinc
tion he has gained, to the careful perusal of one
book. The authors ot purest style and most
correct sentiments should be studied; while
those of an opposite character ought ever to.be
carefully avoided. You know a woman is gen
erally thought intelligent, if she can talk about
a good number of authors she has read. Ido
not think it is always conclusive evidence. It
is oftener a proof her knowledge is superficial.
There are but few ol our sex who devote
much time to study, in our part of the country
at least, and you frequently find that she who
has most names at the end of her tongue, has
fewest ideas in her head. Some minds of un
common strength may be improved by the study
ot many books; where however it is advantage
ous to one, it is a disadvantage to many others.
A feeling of vanity is produced, and the intel
lect confused, ratherthanenlightened. Os course
I speak of young persons. Do not look into
books in order to make a show; to know their
titles and a few sentences from them. I have
seen young persons who would look for an hour
or two into Paley, and then talk more of philos
ophy than others who had studied him thorough
ly, and had his ideas on all matters.
Some one writing of this effort at display,
says, “you can always see the bottom of the
pebbly brook, but the ocean unveils not its rich
ly gemmed carpeting.” Miss Beecher, speak
ing of a young lady who had but Jew books, and
had studied them well, mentions that “a person
of information in c. n.vrsing with her would
always teel a constant wondering pleasure, to
find she had so much more to say of this and
that and the other thing than he had expected. ”
This cannot be said of mere smatterers you
know. There are many of you who devour
with eagerness, all the fashionable journals of
the day; a great part of which consists of pretty
love tales. Now, love is an excellent thing in
its place, but reading about it all the time is not
much benefit. I cannot think you derive much
improvement from such studies. They produce
a pleasing excitement for the time, but then
that time is to all intents and purposes wasted.
Take care of the mi- utes, and the hours and
days will take care of thimselves.
There are papers in our country you may
read, and improve irom the perusal, and they
are those devoted to Agriculture. You may
say, what have Ito do with Agriculture ? Yoa
have much or will have, in the course of your
future life. They will teach you how to culti
vate the gardens you intend to have, when you
go house keeping; how to manage houshold af
fairs with the most ease and to the best advan-
tage, how to do a hundred and fifty other things.
A. number of you will marry young doctors,
lawyers, preachers, merchants, with soft white
hands, who know nothing beyond their proles
sions, and if you can learn something before
hand, and teach them common senseaboutgoing
to work, and earning their living by the sweat
of their brow, as the Lord intended them to do,
it will add more to your own comfort than you
have any idea of. After the first romance of
love is over, you will want all those things that
grow in the earth, and out of the earth, and you
cannot gain them without a good degree of
knowledge and a great deal of hard work. My
maxim is, learn every thing you can, from darn
ing socks, to decorating cows. Put it all down
in your mind, or in a book. You will need it
sometime or other.
To mention these Agricultural papers again,
I would not be deprived of the information I
gain from them, for all the love tales in the coun
try. The Boston Cultivator, for instance, con
tains much that is pleasing and useful. There
is always something addressed to the ladies,
that makes it a welcome guest. The Yankee
Farmer, thinks it one of the most proper things
in life that girls learn about the “soft soap of do
mestic economy,” while young. The Ameri
can Agriculturist has a little of most all mat
ters that are good. The American Farmer and
the Cultivator will teach not only you, but your
lathers, a good deal they do not know. There
is a host ot other Farmers and Planters, and
Ploughboys and Cultivators, that I have not
now time to write about, but they are all valua
ble for their information on business we have to
attend to every day, month and year. I have
but one objection to some of them, and it is,
that they do not say quite enough for she benefit
of the Ladies. One reason may be given for
this, the ladies say very little to them. I have
written till 1 am tired, I expect you will be tired
reading, and will tax you no longer.

THE ECONOMY OF AGRICULTURE.
Liberality constitutes the economy of agri
culture, and perhaps it is the solitary human
occupation, to which the adage, ‘the more we
give the more we shall receive,’can be justly
applied. Liberality to the earth in manuring
and culture is the fountain of its bounty to us.
Liberality to laborers and working animals is
the fountain of their profit. Liberality to do
mestic brutes is the fountain of manure. The
good work of a strong team causes a product be
yond the hard work of a weak one, after de
ducting the additional expense of feeding it;
and it saves moreover half the labor of the
driver, sunk in following a bad one. Liberali
ty in warm houses, produces health, strength
and comfort; preserves the lives of a multitude
of domestic animals; causes all animals to
thrive on less food; and secures from damage
all kinds of crops. And liberality in the uten
sils of husbandry, saves labor to a vast extent,
by providing the proper tools for doing the work
both well and expeditiously.
Foresight is another item in the economy of
agriculture. It consists in preparing work for
all weather, and doing work in proper weather,
and at proper times. The climate of the Uni
ted States makes the first easy, and the second
less difficult than in most countries. Ruinous
violations of this important rule are yet frequent
from temper and impatience. Nothing is more
common than a persistence in ploughing, mak
ing hay, cutting wheat, and other works, when
a small delay might have escaped a great loss,
and the labor employed to destroy, would have
been employed to save. Crops of all kinds
are often planted or sown at improper periods
or unseasonably, in relation to the state of the
weather, to their detriment or destruction, from
the want of an arrangement of the work on a
farm, calculated for doing every species of it
precisely at the periods and in the seasons most
likely to enhance its profit.— “Arelnr’s” Essays.

TOPPING COTTON—MARL.
Sumpter District, S. C., Nov. 4, 1843.
In those excellent matter-of-fact articles on
the cultivation of cotton, which have appeared
inthe late numbers of your paper, by Dr. Phi
lips of Mississippi, and which, by the way, are
the best I have ever seen on the subject, I do not
recollect that he has touched upon the subject
of topping cotton. I have made one experi
ment in this, and was pleased with the result.—
Some planters north ol us, I understand, have
also tried this method, and find the cotton is not
so apt to shed, as when it is not topped, espe
cially in wet seasons. Ordinarily we reckon
the first weekin August the best time fortop
ping; but this, of course, will depend upon the
season, and the forwardness of the crop—for
sometimes it must be earlier, and sometimes
later.
I tried the effects of what I suppose to be
marl, on a small spot in one of my fields, say
about one acre. The marl 1 judge to be of poor
quality, yet can not say, positively, as I nave
no analysis of it. 1 dug it out in January last,
and spread it broadcast, at the rate ot 30 loads
to the acre, as large as an ordinary pair of mules
would carry. It seemed to pulverize well, ex
posed to the severe frost ot last winter, and I
ploughedit in deeper than 1 usually plough,
harrowed the land well. The result is, 1 shall
get full one-third if not one half mote cotton
off this piece than any other part of the field,
WniCll muic man |>aj«ui<i A»Un. c,m u ui«.
I need not say that we read the articles on
manures inlhe Agriculturist with much inter
est; for many of us are beginning to learn that
it is not only easier and better, but even cheaper
to renovate our old lands, than emigrate to a
new country and bring new lands into cultiva
tion. C. McD.
Good Fruit.—That it'is just as easy to have
good fruit as poor, is a trutii that every farmer
should remember; and this, if acted on, will be
found not only easy but profitable. Il the fruit
•rchard is deficient in numbers or varieties, lose
no time in correcting the evil; and the best way
is to apply to some experienced nurseryman for
the kinds and qualities most desired. A few
good fruit trees of each desired variety, is lar
better than great numbers witli inferior fruit.
A succession of good fruits is indespensable.—
The varieties of summer, autumn, and winter,
should follow so as to leave no interval. En
large your list of different kinds of fruit, rather
than your varieties of the same.— Ab. Cult.
Tools, and Tool Sheds.—There should be
attached to every farm house, a Tool Shed, ca
pable of containing all the implements required
on the farm, during winter, and at other sea
sons when not in actual use. The expense of
such a convenience is a mere trifle, compared
with its advantages, and would be more than
economising in a tew years. We have often
been surprised on beholding the ploughs, cans,
ox-wheels, harrows, and wheelbarrow’s, exposed
in the yard of a f armer, who was too “saving”
to pay a couple of dollars a year for a paper,
and who perhaps would took upon the annual
disbursement tor such a purpose, as a drain up
on his exchequer not “to be endured.” And
yet, he could complacently behold his tools
rending and rusting in an exposed situation
without even thinking of the loss, or the saving
that might be effected simply by providing a
substaniial protection from the airs a’nd rains.—
Maine Cultivator.
Pouutry Houses.—ls you wish your hens
to lay through the winter, have their houses
cleaned out thoroughly. Empty the nests of all
filth, have them scraped inside and out, and then
whitewashed. Place contiguous to your hen
house, underroof, a peck or twoof lime, a bush
el of gravel, and a toad of sand or ashes, so that
they can daily have access to these substances.
Gi/e them chopped fresh meat once a week, or
oftener, and teed them regularly twice a dayjwith
grain and potatoes—always feeding them near
the hen-house, so as to attach them to it. Keep
their nests at all times well supplied with clean
hay, and a tew chalk imitation eggs in each:
if you have no chalk, clay will answerevery
purpose, provided you whiten the eggs by white
washing them. See, too, that your fowls get
water regularly. If you follow this advice,
you’ll find that your hens will lay nearly as ma
ny eggs in winter as they do in summer. — Amer.
Farmer.
Churninc Butter.—Every good housewife
knows that at times, for some peculiar causes,
(most generally extra sourness or bitterners of
the cream,) much .lifficulty is experienced in
making the cream into butter. A lady writer
in the Indiana Farmer, recommends the follow
ing course in such cases. We have (says the
Western Farmer,) for years used soda or sale
ratus for the same purpose, and found them usu
ally successful:—
“I wish to inform my sister butter-makers,
of the means I used, which so successfully re
moved the difficulty. 1 churned, perhaps, three
hours, to no purpose, and then tried to think of
something that 1 had read in the Indiana Farm
er, or some other periodical. I could not re
member precisely, but 1 recollected the reason
stated, was the cream being too sour. I then
thought of soda, (pearlash, I presume, would
do as well,) and dissolved a large teaspoonful
in a pint of warm water, and as 1 poured it in,
churning at the same time, it changed in a mo
ment, and gradually formed into a beautiiul so
lid lump ot sweet butter.”
We copy, says the South Western Farmer,
from our scrap book, two recipes on the subject
of curing bacon. The first for hams, we know
not how we came by, but would be a little fear
ful that the ley would eat up the skin, having
observed it eaten, when packed away in ashes
not well leached.
Hams.—Take 12 lbs. salt, 1 lb. saltpetre, 1
gallon molasses—with this mixture, rub the
hams well and pack away as carefully as is pos
sible in a cask, to remain one week. Then with
1 bushel ot ashes make a ley, put the hams in it,
to remain 3 weeks. Smoke and pack away in
tan bark. This for 12 hams.
Bacon.—The gentleman who gave the fol
lowing to us, some 10 years ago, was somewhat
advanced in life, a citizen of Ohio, and one of
those who had boated down the Mississippi, in
those broad horns, and walked through “the wil
derness,” as all this country was then called.
We copy his directions, word for word. To en
sure good bacon, it must be good corn fed pork,
cold before salted, salt rubbed in hard, and let
lie for 24 hours. Prepare you pickle, by taking
1 oz. saltpetre, 1 oz. pearl ash, 2 quarts molasses,
enough salt to fully saturate water sufficient to
cover 2JO lbs pork in a barrel; lhe pork may
be packed close in a barrel with a little salt,
then pour on the pickle—cold, when any scum
rises remove it. Let the pork remain sto 6
w-eeks, then smoke well, then dip into strong ley,
andreturn it into pickle-—bugs will nevei trou
ble it.

Correspondence between E. P. Alexander,
Esy., and Ben. C. Yancey, Esq.
Hmaburg, S. C., Dec. 16, 1843.
Dear Sir—Having announced to you an in
tention, on the part ot Samuel McGowen, to
communicate with you respecting an affair ot
honor now pending between yourself and him,
and you having refused to receive any commu
nication from him, I now regard it due to my
ell to inquire ot you your reasons for so doing.
This requisition is made for the purpose of ob
viating any misapprehension of those reasons,
or misunderstanding in regard to them, which
might arise from their statement otherwise than
on paper, together with the object ol enabling
me to act properly with regard to theluturc.
Yours, respectfully,
E. P. ALEXANDER.
Ben. C. Yancey, Esq.
Sylvania, S. C< December 16, 1843.
Dear Sir—To your note of this day, in which
you desire my reasons for declining to receive
any communication from Mr. McGowen, which
you were deputed to hand me, 1 readily and
briefly reply. But first, il my impression of
our interview is correct, no intention on the part
ot Mr, McGowen to communicate with me in
relation to an affair of honor was announced.—
There was, at the outset, simply an offer to de
liver, on your part, a note irom a gentleman
'without disclosing its charac'er or the name of
its author. 1 refused to receive the communi
cation unless 1 were informed from whom it
emanated. The author being, however, given
by you, I declined to receive any communica
tion from Mr. McGowen, without regard to, or
knowledge of, its character. In this impression
my memory is sustained by ti e gentlemen who
were present. This explanation is made with
the view of precluding inferences which may be
drawn, but which are not, doubtless, designed
by you, from the phraseology oi your note,
which was penned in haste. 1 disclaim, like
wise, aay knowledge of “an affair of honor
now [lading between Mr. McGowen and my
sellT’eri which you make mention. But pass
ing over immaterial matters, I proceed to com
ply with your desire, to assign my reason for
refusing euher to entertain, or even to receive, a
communisation from Mr. Samuel McGowen.
Mr. McGowen well remembers that, during
the past summer, I bore to him a notice from Col.
John Cunxingham, who had previcusly given
his surety of the peace, to appear in Augusta,
on a particular day, to receive a challenge; hav
ing distinct warning that he would be posted in
case he did not appear. He well recollects
that he failed to appear, and that he was posted.
In his attempt to escape this degradation, he as
signs, in the public journal, the miserable pie
text lor his refusal to fight, that Col. Cunning
ham was not agentlemanl! It wasat this junc
ture that I, as a relative ot Col. C., appeared in
an article denouncing him as a coward, and
virtually charging him with falsehood in as
suming that position, which he had previously,
in a conversation with me, distinctly disclaim
ed, and which disclaimer he now knows he
made. Then it was that I expected a commu
nication from him, and then did 1 design to meet
him.
He knows that he was advised to challenge
me, and he now feels it was his duty to have
done so. But did he do so? No! instead ot
that course, which was attended with danger,
he preferred, to resort to a newspaper billings
gatearticle. By such conduct, he has forfeited
the privilege to be noticed by me, and has sealed
his own infamy. I appeared again, in an arti
cle reviewing the issues—the effect and intent of
which was, the superfluous writing under a pic
ture which had been twice drawn— this is a cow
ard, degraded beneath my notice as a gentle
man! It contained no new issues, but was sim
ply a review ot former ones, and an indulgence
of sarcasms calculated to fortify them. And
strange to say, that now, after the lapse of more
than four months, during all which time he
tamely submitted to accumulated indignities,
he desires to make a communication of some
sort to me. He knew, when he contemplated
the move, that he would not benoticed. Ofthis
he has long since been apprized. The lashings
ot public scorn have alone goaded him to this
late and impotent effort to save himself. Thus,
sir, have I assigned my reasons. There can be
now no misapprehension as to them.
In regard, sir, to the latter clause of your let
ter-appertaining to yourself—l give the assu
rance, that in declining any communication
from Mr McGowen, for reasons satisfactory to
myself, 1 mean no disrespect to to you.
Yours, respectfully,
BEN. C. YANCEY.
E. P. Alexander, Esq.
Eagle and Phoenix, Augusta, Ga., 1
. December 18, 1813. J
Dear Sir—Your reply to my note of the 16th
inst., requiring the grounds upon which you re
fused to communication from Sam
l>iS^fePowen ’ " a \ * ian ded to me about
dav- Your re.
of that commm.jJ/rtion, I believe, sir, to be in
correct , . , , , .
But this is entirely immaterial, lor the cir
cumstances under which it was offered to lie de
livered, could not leave the shadow of a doubt
as to the nature of that communication. You
cannot now escape from the consequences of re
fusing Mr. McGowen’s challenge, by declining
to receive from him ami communication, and
then pretend ignorance of its contents. This
would be an instance of special pleading not to
be tolerated among gentlemen.
You say that my friend, Mr. McGowen, by a
certain course ot conduc', animadverted upon
by you with unnecessary severity, “lia< forfeit
ed the privilege to be noticed” by you, and has
“sealed his own infamy.”
Mr. Yancy must understand that I beg leave
to differ with him as to Mr. McGowen’s privi
lege to be noticed by him; and the reasons as
signed tor his refusal to give my triend the sat
istaction which, as a gentleman, he has a right
to demand, may be satisfactory to Mr. Yancy,
but they are neither salislactory to Mr. Mc-
Gowen nor myself. As soon as I had an in
terview with Mr. McGowen, after your refusal
“even to receive his communication,” he deter
mined to post you publicly at the lower market
in this city, and 1 returned, in leu minutes, to
your office in Hamburg, with a written notice
for you to that effect in my hand, but an issue
with him,.pt Me pest, was prevented by your pre
cipitate return to Sylvania. You were not to
be found high or low, ard 1 was under the mor
tify ng necessity of making the official return of
“non est inventus," upon the notice of my friend,
who, when I returned, was anxiously waiting
your arrival. We then concluded, under all
the circumstances, that you had prudently pro
tracted our interview of the evening, and de
layed giving me an answer until candle light,
with a view of preventing the posting on that
evening, (it being Saturday,) and tiiat as soon
as 1 had left you, you had decamped and re
treated to the Sand Hills of Edgefield, to try
“what reinforcement you could gain I'rem L.qre,
if net, what resolution from despair.” And, as
it turned out, it was a prudent stroke ot strain; y;
for on that very evening, not hall :.u hour after
our return to the Eagle <fc Phoenix, Mr. Mc-
Gowen was arrested and bound over to keep the
peace of Georgia, and is now prevented from
executing his purpose ot posting you in this
State. But being determined to have an issue
with you, “attended with Hanger,” and as you
are under bond to keep the peace of South Car
olina, he requires that you appear at Flat Rock,
North Carolina, on Christmas day next, for
then and there, between the hours of 11 and 12
o’clock a. si., you will be publicly posted, (not
published,) as a scoundrel, a liar and a coward.
Although you disclaim any disrespect to me,
in refusing to receive any communication from
Mr. McGowen, yet the grounds upon which
you rest that reinsil necessarily involve disre
spect to his fi ietid who bore that communication,
and who endorses his character as a gentleman
to the fullest extent ot the word. You may,
therefore, after being posted as notified above,
expect to hear from me.
Yours, respectfully,
E. P. ALEXANDER.
Ben. C. Yancet, Esq.
To the People of Flat Rock, North C'aro-
* lina.ln particular.
Your neighborhood is to be made the place of
my abuse. lamto be “posted” there on Christ
mas day next, by one Samuel M’Gowen, Esq.,
ot Abbeville village—accompanied by one E.
P. Alexander, Esq., of Laurens village, as his
friend. Were this flourish to be made in South
Carolina, or even in Georgia, as the scenes have
been enacted on herborder, where the relative
merits and infamv, under the Code of Honor,
of Samuel McGowen are distinctly known, I
shculd permit it to pass on the principle that a
gentleman should not permit himself to feel in
sulted by the vulgar abuse of one whom he has
degraded. But as they pass beyond these limits,
and from under the peculiar influence of a pub
lic opinion fully possessed of the facts, I ha ve
deemed it well to ask your attention to my let
ter, prefixed, of the 16th inst.,—addressed to
JUr. Alexander, —as containing my reasons,
briefly, tor a refusal to notice Samuel McGow
en, Esq. 1 entertain confidence that your senti
ment will concur with the honor and chivalry of
gentlemen here. If so, my character cannot
be aspersed, for a moment, in your estimation
by a placard of Samuel McGowen, Esq.
And now merely to acquaint you witii the del
ieicy, propriety and chivalry ot these men in
absolutely requiring me to go to North Cruolin?
—a distance of upwards ot one hundred an t
filjy miles—to attend their posting. I will state
that they were f ully informed of the serious ill
ness <>t my wife, whose situation is such that I
would not be warranted now in leaving h-r r
siigle day or night. I would not, therefore,
detract a particle from the honor and chivalry
with which they will clothe themselves ingo
ing to a.post, when they must know, on princi
pies of common feeling, independent of more
refined and delicate sensibilities, that their an
tagonist could not be there, even were he dis
posed to defend.
I would here close and pen not a word in re
gard to Mr. Alexander, were it not for the coat se
and ungentlemanly tone of his letter of the 181A
inst., addressed to me in reply, prefixed, in its
order above. Though I had been informed that
Mr. Alexander was of doubtful caste as a gen
tleman, from various sources, yet I had deter
mined to treat him with courtesy. That I have
done so, I refer to my letter, which, so far as
Mr. Alexander is concerned, is courteous, and
contains a disclaimer of disrespect towards him.
His violation of courtesy, however, to me, by
incorporating in his last letter various insults
which in a correspondence of that kind alone
proclaims him to be destitute of the breeding of
a gentleman, has made him fair game and ren
dered it necessary that I should dissect his claims.
First then as to the fact (see the correspond
ence) whether he disclosed the character of the
communication he offered to deliver me. In
my letter to him of the 16th, in answer to his of
the same afternoon, I delicately called his at
tention to the error of and charitably
attributed the phraseology to the haste with
which his note was penned in my office. But
in his reply of the 18th, he pertinaciously ad
heres to his first statement, and pronounces my
“remembrance” incorrect, notwithstanding I had
given him the previous intimation that “my
memory was sustained by the gentlemen who
were present.” And I am now confident that
he wilfully perverted the statement, in the first
instance, it was not a material matter, for I
do not pretend to say I had not my surmise as to
the character of the communication: yea—that
1 was as certain as to its intent, as one could be
without an actual reading. Mr. Alexander
mistakes, therefore, in supposing I wished to
pretend ignorance—for he mus. understand that
my position is, that I receive no communica
tion from Mr. McGowen—whether I know its
character or not. But I desired to correct the
error, simply because in any matter, I do not
wish by silence to seem to assent to a misstate
ment, however immaterial. To show therefore,
his misrepresentation, I refer to the certificate
of Dr. John Carter, of Augusta, B. Elliott Hab
ersham, Esq., of Hamburg, and Mr. Thomas
Casey, of Alabama.
Secondly, I refer to the certificate of M. Gray,
Esq., and Mr. C. H. Lindsey, and ask you to
compare it with the second paragrah of his let
ter ot the 18th. The point is—on the morning of
the 16th he pledged his word to a magistrate
that he would not bear to me a challenge or hos
tile communication in South Carolina, as he
would consider it unmanly to do so when 1 was
under a recognizance to keep the peace; and in
the afternoon of the same day, he bore to me a
communication, which I refused, and of course
did not read, but ■which in the paragraph referr
ed to, he endorses as “refusing Mr. McGowen’s
challenge.” This is alluded to simply to show
what regard Mr. Alexander has to his veracity
or pledge.
With reference to the “precipitate” retreat
charged upon me in his letter, I refer to the
certificate of Mr. Habersham and Mr. Thomas
Casey, who were present. The public will see
that he has in his letter, therefore, perpetrated
a virtual falsehood.
Again to exhibit how deeply deficient Mr.
Alexander is in the common principles of hon
esty, 1 will state a. fact communicated tome,
and which, at a proper time, if denied, can be
substantiated. On a certain occasion Mr. Al
exander proposed to a gentleman to play a game
at cards; the gentleman refused—as Mr. Alex
ander had been constantly winning his small
change, and be played only for amusement.—
Mr. Alexander then propcsed, if he would play
whist, he (Alexander) would select a particu
lar partner and throw off the game into his
hands, provided he should have half the win
nings: thus deliberately proposing to commit a
fraud on his own partner, for the purpose of aid
ing his nominal antagonist, but real partner, by
which he was to have halt the profits. The
proposition was indignantly repelled. This
will clearly assign to Mr. Alexander his proper
position beneath gentlemen, and I doubt not
will degrade him even with professional gam
blers.
In the latter part of his letter, he says, after I
have been posted “as a scoundrel, a liar and a
coward,” I may expect to hear from him. A
most extraordinary rule thus introduced, by this
chevalier, into the code of honor!! In other
words, after 1 have been reduced, in Mr. Alex
ander’s estimation, to the position of “a scoun
drel, a liar and a coward,” I am then on his
own level, and he will communicate with me!!!
But as to the effect upon me of Mr. McGowen’s
posting, I beg leave to differ essentially with
Mr. Alexander. And as to his threatened
course, of that hereafter—for sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof.
BEN. C. YANCEY.
Hamburg, S. C., Dec. 21,1843.
1 certify that I was in the office of Messrs.
Yancey & Habersham, on the 16th inst., when
Mr. Alexander called to deliver a note, as he
subsequently stated, from Mr. Samuel McGow
en, and remained for about one hour and a half,
during which time no disclosure was made by
Mr. Alexander of the character of the note
which he had proposed to deliver.
JOHN CARTER.
I certify that I was present during the latter
portion of the interview above alluded to, and
came in before Dr. Carter left, *nd that no dis
closure as to the character ofZMr. McGowen’s
cpminnnication was made in jnv presence.
I certify that 1 was present during the whole
of the said interview, and heahl no intimation
whatever of the purport of the note borne by
Mr. Alexander. B. E. HABERSHAM.
South Carolina, Edgefield District.
At the request of B. C. Yancey, Esq., we do
hereby certify that Mr. E. P. Alexander was ar
rested under and by virtue of a peace warrant,
growing out ot a controversy pending between
S. E. McGowen, Esq., and Mr. Yancy, in which
it was said that Mr. Alexander was acting as
the friend of Mr. McGowen, and intended, in
that capacity, to bear a challenge to Mr. Yan
cey; that when Mr. Alexander appeared before
the Magistrate, he stated to the Magistrate, in
substance, that he had no intention to bear a
challenge from Mr. McGowen to Mr. Yancey
in South Carolina; that a breach of the peace
was not contemplated by him, and he w ould
consider it unmanly to bear a challenge to Mr.
Yancey in this State, in as much as the latter
gentleman had been recognized to keep the
peace. We further certily, that Mr. Alexander
further stated, that if he designed to bear a chal
lenge at all, it would be delivered in the State of
Georgia, and, therefore, would be no molesta
tion of the laws of South Carolina. Upon this
statement on the part of Mr. Alexander, and
with the consent of the gentleman who had tak
en out the peace warrant, he (Alexander) was
discharged by the Magistrate. We further
certify, that the aforesaid warrant was not taken
out with the privity and consent of Mr. Yancey,
but, on the contrary, he knew nothing about the
matter. Upon being informed of the existence
of such a warrant, he (Mr. Yancey) used his
influence to prevent it, and particularly request
ed that Messrs. McGowen and Alexander should
not be molested in that way on his account.
Given under our hand, this the 19th of De
cember, 1843.
MATTHEW GRAY,
C. H. LINDSY.
The subscribers having been present at the
interview, on the 16th inst., between Mr. Yan
cey’ and Mr. Alexander, certify in relation to
that portion of Mr. Alexander’s note, in which
he charges upon Mr. Yancey’ a precipitate re
treat to the “sand hills of Edgefield,” and that
he, Mr. Yancey, “could not be found high or
low,” —that they have read it with the utmost
astonishment. Mr. Alexander was distinctly
informed by Mr. Yancey’, that it was his inten
tion to return immediately to his home, the situ
ation of his family rendering it necessary for
him to do so; and Mr. Alexander, when he re
turned with Mr. McGowen’s notice, must have
known that Mr. Y. would be found at his resi
dence, and not at his office. Mr. Alexander

Female Beauty and ornament.
The ladies in Japan gild their teeth, and those
of the Indies paint them red. The pearl of teeth
must be dyed black to be beautiful i- Gugerat.
In Greenland, the ladies color their faces with
blue and yellow. However fresh the complex
ion of a Muscovite may be, she would think
herself very ugly if she was not plastered over
with paint. The Chinese must have their feet
as diminutive as those ot the she goat’s, and, to
render them thus, their youth is passed in tor
ture. In ancient Persia, an aquiline nose was
always thought worthy of the crown; and, if
there was any competition between two princes,
the people generally went by this criterion ot
majesty. In some countries, the mothers break
the noses of their children, and others press the
head between two boards, that it may become
square. The modern Persians have a strong
aversion to red hair; the Turks, on the contra
ry, are warm admirers of it. In China, small
round eyes are liked, and the girls are continu
ally plucking their eyebrows that they may be
thin and long. The'Turkish women dip a gold
brush in the tincture ot a black drug, which they
pass over their eyebrows; it is too visible by’
day, but looks shining by’ night; they tinge their
nails wilh a rose color. An African beauty
must have small eyes, thick lips, a large flat
nose, and a skin beautifully black. The Empe
ror ot Monemotapa would not change his amia
ble negress for the most brilliant European beau
ty. The ornament for the nose appears to us
perfectly unnecessary; the Peruvians, however,
think otherwise, and they- hang on it a weighty
ring, the thickness of which is proportioned by
the rank of their husband. The custom of bo
ring it, as our ladies !o their ears, is very com
mon in several nations. Through the perfora
tion are hung various materials —gold, silver,
stones, a single, and sometimes a great number
of gold rings.

J. PILLS have, in all cases in which they ?
have been used, fully sustained their high char
acter. Inthe East and West Indies, in Russia,
Turkey and Cliina, the HrundrcUi. are ex
tensively patronized. The satne may be said of ,
Mexico and throughout South America. I have *
recently received one order for eighty thousand
boxes, irom the Governor of a Colony of Portu
f'al in tite East Indies. He had used the Bran- J
dr th Pills in Madeira, by the advice of the very
Reverend, the Canon, Thomas Tolentino de Sil
va, my agent at Funchal, and found them so ex
Hn anl i'bffi° us physic and purifier of

Asageneral family medicine,esneciallv in ihn
South, their valucis incalculable. By havint, ti e
Bhandrcth Pills always on hand, should Bid
den attack of sickness take place, they can be tri
ven at once, and will often have effected a cure
before the physician could have arrived. In Cho
lic and inflmnation of the bowels, these Pills will
at once relieve, and perseverance in their use
accoiding to the directions, will surely do all that
medicine can do to restore the health of the pa
tient. In diseases arising front the use of mer
cury, or from any cause of vitiation, from bad
blood or otherwise, their use will produce the most
happy results. In all attacks of Meumatwm, in
Erysiphilas, Salt Rheum, and in cases of chronic
or recent Costiveness, the use of the Brandricth
Pills will be productive ofinfinite service; some
times being productive of so great a change for
the better, as to occasion great thankfulness. In
all cast s of indigestion, worms, asthma, diseases of
the heart, and in all affections of the stomach and
bowels, the Brasdreth Pills will be found a ne
ver-failing remedy.
To insure the full benefit of these celebrated
Pills, they should be kept in the house, so that
upon the first commencement of sickness they
may beat once resorted to; one dose then is bet
ter than a dozen alter the disease has become es
tablished in the system.
The Brandreth Pills are purely vegetable,
and so innocent that the infant a month old mvy
use them if medicine is required, not only with
safety, but with the certainty of receivin’” all the
benefit medicine is capable of imparting. Fe
ntales.may use them during all the critical periods
of their lives; —the Brandreth Pills will insure
their health, and produce regularity in all the func
tions of hie.
Be careful of counterfeit Pills. How to avoid them
No. 1 Security.
Each Agent who sells the genuine Brandreth
Pills, has a Certificate o/ Agency, which has
been engraved nt a vast expense. It represents
the manufactory at Sing Sing, on the banks of
the Hudson River, and is signed by Dr. Brandreth
and his seal stamped upon the paper.
No. 2—Security.
Above all, observe the labels upon the boxes:
Each box of the genuine Brandreth’s Pills has
now three labels upon it. The top and the bot
tom label containing upwards of five thousand
letters in red ink; the words Benjamin Bran
drath’s Pills being printed over two hundred
limes upon the two labels.
No. 3—Security.
There arc also upon each label two signature!
of Dr. Brandreth—one “B. Btandeth,” and also
one “Benjamin Brandreth.” Each box, thcre
t re, to be genuine, must have six signatures of
Dr. Brandreth upon it. It the box do not an
swer this discription, the Pills are not the Bran
dreth Pills, but some vile counterloft of them, as
all the old labelled boxes have been t ollecteo.
Besides the above signs of genttincn ‘es fac
similes of the Branureth Pill labels ate upon
the Certificate of Agency; therefore compare
your box with the labels on the certificate; if it
agues the Pills arc true, if it does not, they are
false.
[ 1 have expended much time, and at least fiv
thousand dollars, in perfecting these checks U
the sale of counterfeit Pills, and in the hope the'
will secure the genuine Brandreth Pills to al
I who want them.
