3 A Wife Worth Having*
f All persons in this country understand the
I character ot the patriotic and departed Ln r ay-
I ette—-they comprehend the ardor of ms nature,
[ and his tore of a plain Republic. There are
not so many, however, who know anything of
the wife whom he loved as a part ol himself,
and with whom he lived for many years in the
happiest connection. From a letter wnuen by
the gallant husband after her death, in 18(18, and
translated tro n the last memoirs ot LaFayette
lately published in France, we extract the tol
lowing by which it would seem that the Gene
ral regarded his lady as t»c younger D’lsraeti
in these modern days regards het whom he
proudly' acknowledges to be his “ best friend
and perfect wife." Ot such a woman he writes
thus:
“Daring thirty four years of a union in which
her tenderness, her goodness, her elevation, the
generosity ol her soul, charmed, einbelHsi ed,
did honor to my life, 1 was so accustomed to all
that she was to me, that I did not distinguish
her from iny own existence. She was fourteen
years old and 1 was sixteen when her heart u
inalaated itsell with all whichcould interest me.
1 thought 1 loved her, that I could not do with
out her. but it was only when 1 had lost her,
that I was able to discover what remi ined to
me, for the close of a lite which had been so
diversified, and for which nevertheless there re
%«ins no longer either happiness or even con
test. Though she was attached to me, I may
say so, by the most passionate eniirngnt, I
never perceived in her the lightest shade of au
ihoritativeness (rde.rtgeiibe) or discontent; never
anything which did not leave me entire free
dom in all my undertakings. And il Igo back
tp the days of our youth, I find in her trails of
an un sampled delicacy and generosity. You
saw her associate I, heart and soul, in all my sen
timents, my political wishes, enjoying every
thing which might confer honor on me; still
more, as she would say, what made me to be
wholly known, and more than all, glorying in
those occasions when she saw me sacrifice glo
ry to a sentiment of goodness.- Herauut, .Via
dame Tesse, said to me yesterday, ‘ 1 never
could have imagined that one could be such a
fanatic for your opinions, and ye’ so tree from
party spirit ’ Indeed, her attachment tootirdoc
trines never for a moment abated her indul
—■ gence, her compassion, her good will for per
sonsol another party. She was never soured
by the violent hatred of which I was the object;
the ill treatment and injurious conduct towards
me, were 'egarded by her as tollies indifferent
to her, tro ii the point Irom which she looked at
them, and where her good opinion chose to
place me jk
Here was a most entire may say
that during thirty-four years,▼ never suffered
for a moment the shadow of restraint, that all
her habits were, without affectation, subordinate
to my convenience, that I had the satisfaction to
see mv most see tical friends as constantly re
ceived. as well beloved, as much esteemed, and
their virtues as completely acknowledged as if
there had been no difference of religious opin
ion, that she never expressed any other senti
ment than that of hope, that in continuing tore
fleet, with the uprightness of heart which she
knew belonged tome, I should finally be con
vinced. It was with this feeling she I ft me her
last regards, begging me to read for the love ol
her some books, which I shall certainly examine
again with a new interest, and calling her reli
gion, to make me love it better, oerlect freedom.
She often expressed to ine the thought that she
should go to Heaven, and dare I add that this
idea was not sufiTient to reconcile her t > quit
ting me. She often said to me, life is short,
full of trouble, may we meet again in Go I.
May we pass eternity together. She wished
me, she wished us all the peace of the Lord.
Sometimes si-.e was heard praying in her bed.
One ot her last nigl.ts there was something
ce’estial in the manner in which she recited
twice in succession, with a firm voice, a passage
ot scripture applicable to her situation, the
same passage which she recited to her daughter
on perceiving the spires of Olmuiz. Shall I
sneak to you of the pleasure, ever renewed,
which an entire confidence in her gave me,
which was never exacted, which wis received
at the end of three months as at the first day,
which was justified by a discretion proof a
gainst all things, by an admirable understand
ing ot all my feelings, my wants, and the wish
esot my heart. All this was mingled with a
sentiment so tender, and an opinion so exalted,
a worship, if I dared so speak, so sweet and
flattering, more especially gratifying, as coming
from the most perfectly natural and sincere per
son who ever lived!”
A Scientific Negro.—The Baltimore Ame
rican has the following interesting account of a
scientific negro who flourished in the last cen
tury :
The last number of lhe Maryland Coloniza
tion Journal contains a Memoir of Benjamin
Banneker, a free colored man of Anne Arundel
County, who was distinguished tor his mathe
matical attainments and lhe worth and excel
lence ot his character. Banneker died in 1804,
in the seventy-second year of his age. He was
the author of an Almanac complied on his own
astronomical calculations, and with so little
assistance front books of science that be had
actually made considerable progress in prepar
ing logarithms, not knowing of ihcif previous in
vention. He was saved much labor on this
? famished him with e set of logarithmic tables.
For some years Banneker’s Almanac was the
Ohly one used in Ahis part of the United States.
The Memoir, wbieh is drawn un in a very
interesting manner, by J. H. B. Latrobe, Esq.,
says in relWenpe th this work :
The first Almanac which Banneker prepared,
fit for publication, was for the year 1792. By
this time his acquirementshad become general
)y knuWfi/and among others who to .k an inter
fest in him was James McHenry, Esq. Mr.
* McHenry wrote a let er to Goddard and Angell,
then the Almanac publishers in Baltimore,
which was probably the means of procuring the
publication of the first Almanac. It contains
a short account ol Banneker, and is inserted as
the most appropriate preface that could have
been furnished lor lhe work. Mr. McHenry’s
letter does equal honor, to his heart and under
standing. A copy of the Almanac is prcserTTecT
herewith to the Society, in theMWfieol Mrs
Ellicott, the widow of Gcpige-rfijicott, Banne
ker’s steadfast friend.,
In notice, Messrs. Goddard &
“ they (cel gratified in lhe opportu
nity of presenting to lhe public, through their
press, what must be considered as an extraor
dinary effort of genius -a complete and accu
rate Ephemeris tor the year 1792, calculated by
a sable descendant ol Africa,” etc. And they
further say, that “ they flatter themselves that a
philanthropic public, in this enlightened era,
will be induced to give their patronage and
support to this work, not only on account of its
intrinsic merits, (it having met the approbation
of several of lhe most distinguished astronomers
ot America, particularly the celeb afd Mr.
Riilenhotise,) but from similar motives lo those
which induce the editors togive this calculation
11 e prelerence, the ardent desir- of drawing mo
dest men from obscurity and controverting the
long established illi eral prejudices against the
blacks.”
Banneker sent a copy of his Almanac in
manuscript to Mr. Jefferson, who acknowledged
its reception in a polite and very complimen
tary letter. Mr. Jefferson esteemed the work so
remarkable that he sent it to M. de Condorcet,
Secretary of lhe Academy of Sciences at Paris.
When the Commissioners for laying out lhe
Federal Territory, known as the District of
Columbia, were employed in that work, they
invited Banneker to be present and treated him
with great consideration as a man of science.—
His life was industrious and quiet; his manners
simple, yet dignified. A gentleman who knew
him. says, “ He was a brave looking pleasant
man, with something very noble in his appear
ance. His mind was evidently much absorbed
in his calculations ; bnt he was always glad to
receive lhe visits which we often paid to him.”
The memoir contains many int testing extracts
from Banneker’s diary. He was in all respects
nn extra ordinary man, and Mr. Latrobe has
rendered an acceptable service in rescuing his
name from oblivion.
Works of Art. —Mr. Lester, U. S. Consul
at Genoa, has brought with him two works of
art, which have afforded ns a great deal of plea
sure. One is an original portrait ol Americus
Vespucius, the only one in Italy, an.l which
was presented lo Mr. L. by the family. It was
taken by Brongino, and has been preserved by
the lineal descendants of the Vespucci family
with the greatest care.
i he o'her gem of art we referred to is a mo
dern work executed by a monk belonging to a
convent in Genoa. It is a crucifix scene. Our
Saviour is represented on tae cross in all the
agony ot his painful death. The body is wrought
of one solid piece of ivory, the largest we have
ever seen, and which is of itself a cariosity.—
Ttfe anatomical truth of every part ot the form,
the perlect representation ot nature in every
detail, astonishes the anatomist, while the char
acter of the face—nay the expression ol agony
in every muscle, and in the whole attitude, fills
the artist with admiration. Even Mr. Powers
looked on it with wonder.
The intellectual and majestic brow is knit in
the extremes! agony, while around the glorious
month plays the smile of resignation. The
brow is the bitter prayer in the garden, while
the mouth is the embodied exclamation, “Thy
will be done.” We have never seen anything
equal lo this of its kind. Even the distended
veins are seen comsing under the skin and the
exquisite finish ol every part is equalled only
by the perlect harmony and wonderful expres
sion ot the whole. It is a gem of an, and what
renders it stronger still, it is the only work the
artist has ever executed, —N. Y. Afirror.
1 ns Sabbath vs. Crims.—At a meeting ot
the Rhode Island Sabbath Union, a few days
since. Rev. Dr. Woods, officiating chaplain of
the Slate prison, remarked that, dt all the con
victs in lhe prison whom he had questioned
)and this comprised all but two ot those now
confine! there,) there was not one who was not
a violator of the Sabbath at the time when be
committed the crime of which he had oeen con
victed. He cited a number of facts from the
memorandum of bis visits to the prison, illus
trative ot lhe former character and the early
habits ot those convicted of great crimes, and
urged upon the assembly the fact that they who
violate the laws of God are generally likely to
violate the law s ol civil society.

tor, dated
Athens, Geo., July Ist, 1815.
" Such a season I have never seen in all my
life. There will be a sad deficit in bread;
even it it were to rain every day from this out.
In my garden, corn is dead, a thing I never
before. Grape vines and fruit trees are dying
This morning it is quite cold. 1 have no doubt

Mu. Polk and in- Friends.—The official
organ, “ The Union," in replying to a letter ot
the Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Patriot, among other things, said “Mr.
Polk’s administration was so popular that even
the Whigs could not find any thing to say
against it."
Upon this the Editor of the Baltimore Patriot
runs the following rather amusing but tart com
mentary:
"This does, indeed‘cap the climax.’ Here
is a President who has not been in office six
months—who has done nothing but deliver a
very mediocre and ill considered inaugural, and
been ever since employed in turning out petty
officers, and putting some of his partisans in their
places, and in the doing of which he has brought
his own party about bis ears, ai d set the whole
chaldron of ofli-e-seekers in a stew—this Pres
ider.t is so popular that no one can find any
thing to say against him! Well, the Union
will admit, that if Mr. Polk did not direct this
tune to be played on the organ, his ears will be
ravished by its delightful sounds, though his
heart will tell him that it is abject flattery.
Popular, indeed! A Pre id nt popular who in
six months has lost the confidence of nearly all
those who elected him—who is openly ncnoun
cepby the great Ajax of the party —who is so
fickle-minded, that he undoes one day what he
had directed the day before—who promises to
keep this officer in, and appoints another in his
stead, in the same week —and who yet does
neither, but turns the officer out and puts a new
man in! This man popular I The Whigs say
nothing against him, because his quondam
friends say all that the occasion calls for. A
great section ot the party retuse lo take office
under him, and another requires his abjqjj, üb
missinn to their will, and he submits! Ann yet
this President, so deserted, so denounced, so
manacled by some of h>s friends, that he can
only dotheir will—this is the popular President!
It is a rich joke, and is quite in time to relieve
the dullness of the hot season.”
TV Bicknell’s Reporter says Money is still
sufficiently abundant in Philadelphia. Good
paper is readily discounted by the banks al six

limited. Business of all kinds is dull and will
continue so fora montn or six weeks. Nothing
new in the condition ot the banks. The August

Cotton in Mississippi.—The Jackson South
ern Reformer says: We are sorry to learn,
from various portions of our State, that the cot
ton crop has been greatly injured by lice. In
several parts of Yazoo and Madison, planters
have lost three-fourths of their present stand.
We also learn that in counties to the east, simi
lar damage has been sustained. Such has been
the case in Lauderdale, Kemper, Neshoba,
Noxubee, and several other counties.
Cotton Crop.—The Mobile Register, of the
28th nit., says: We still continue to hear com
plaints from this and the adjoining States, of in
jury to the crops from drought and other causes.
The sandj' lands it would appear are the princi
pal sufferers; the black lands in this State we
believe are generally promising. The rains
have been very partial this year; in some sec
tions of the country they have not had a good
season in six or eight weeks, whilst in others no
serious inconvenience or injury has yet been

Grape vines of the choicest kinds, with a view
to their propagation in the U. S. The Courier
says—We have every reason to believe they
will succeed in our climate —for they were tak
en from the coldest parts of Piedmont and Savoy
last winter, while the ground was covered with
several feet ot snow ; and they are as fresh as
though they were just taken from the ground.
A sample of a kind of Champagne wine, made
from the same grape, has been brought by Mr.
Lester, and it is delicious. These vines have
never been brought tojjurcountry before, or any
thing simjiaa-Ae-TTiem. We trust none of ogr
ja»Ss7?q who feel any interest in such matters,
will fail to get some of these vines. For fruit
or for wine, they are regarded in Italy as among
the best in the world.
Book or Travels in America by a Chinese.
—The New York Tribune says, that among
other specimens of the natural and artificial pro
ductions of the celestial empire which Mr. Pe
ters brought with him on his return to the United
States, are two intelligent and educated subjects
of the “ Brother ot the Moon.” One of these
Chinese gentlemen is stated to be a man of let
ters, and the other a musician. The scholar is
said to be preparing a journal of his travels in
this country, the publication of which will be
looked tor with interest. It will certainly be
one ot the most remarkable curiosities of litera
ture which these latter times have produced.

Fire in Savannah. —The Republican of yes
terday says: A fire broke out about hall-past
11 o’clock last night, in the upper part of an old
wooden building on Anciaux’s wharf, which
was entire y consumed. Tne lower part of the
build ing was occupied by Thos. Ford, as a Gro
cery nnd Liquor Store, ard the upper floor by
Mr F. Huntington, as a Shipping and Notary
office. The Store was owned by the Estate of
Anciaux, and was valued at about ®l,ooo—no
insurance. The stock of Mr. Ford was small—
a portion of which vas saved. We understand
he was insured Mr. Huntington lost his office
furniture, which was not ot much value. The
adjoining store on Anciaux’s wharf, occupied
by Messrs. Claghorn A Wood, was for some
time in great danger, as was also the building
on the adjoining wharf occupied by Messrs.
Prentice & Way and E. Padelford & Co.—The
well directed efforts of the firemen however, as
sisted by several intrepid citizens, confined the
devouring element to the store in which it ori
ginated.
Messrs. Claghorn & Wood removed their
books and papers, but fortunately did not dis
turb their extensive stock of goods.
There is no question but that the building
was set on fire.
Hazlitt’s Advice to his Son.—We have
been much interested in Hazlitt’s Table Talk,
which forms Part HI ot Wiley and Putnam’s
Library of Choice Reading. From his advice
to his son on going from home to school, we se
lect the tollowing item :
TAe We/W.—Do not begin to quarrel wihihe
world too soon: for, bad as it may be, it is th-*
best we have to live in —here. If railing would
have made it be.ter, it would have been reform
ed long ago; but as this is not to be hoped for
at present, the best way is to slide through it as
contentedly and innocently as we may. The
worst fault it has, is want of charity : and call
ing knave and fool at every turn will not cure
• his tailing. Consider (as a matter of vanity)
that it there were not so many knaves and fools
as we find, the wise and honest would not b»
those rare and shiningcharacters that they are al
lowed to be; and (as a matter of philosophy) tha
if the world be really incorrigible in this respect
it is a reflection to tnakeonesad, not angry. We
may laugh or weep at the madnessot mankind;
we have no right to villify them, for our own
sakes or theirs. Misanthropy is not the disgttsi
of the mind at human nature, blit with itself;
tor it is laying its own exaggerated vices and
foul blots at lhe door of others! DO not, bow
ever, mistake what I have here said. I wouk
not have you, when you grow up, adopt the low
and sordid fashion of palliating existing abuses
or of putting the best face upon th* worst things
I only mean that indiscriminate, unqualified sa
tire can do little good, and that Ihose who indulge
in the most revolting speculations on human na
ture, do not themselves always set the fairest
example, or strive to prevent its lowest degra
dation.
Release of Dour.—The N. York Herald of
Sunday says:—News of the release of Dorr, had
reached Providence when the cars left there on
b riday. He comes out unconditionally, but
is hot restored to citizenship, unless he swears
he “ will bear true faith and allegiance to the
State of Rhode Island, and to support the con
stitution,” &c,
J!“A special express was immediately despatch
ed to Boston with the intelligence. Great was
the excitement at Providence—digs were hoist
ed, firing of cannon. Handbills were issued,
calling upon the people to assemble cn masse
upon the great bridge, at half past seven o’clock,
and march, accompanied by music, to the
residence of H. P. Willard, Esq., where a
speech would be delivered by Mr. Dorr, and it
was expected every possible demonstration of
rejoicing would follow. Flags were hoisted
and cannon firing at Stonington, when the
steamboat left there on Friday evening.
The bill contains a preamble and lout sec
tions, which latter are as follows;
Section 1. No person shall be hereafter prose

The meeting then adjourned.
Boston.—An editorial in the Boslon Journal
ol Wednesday, after referring to the steady and
rapid increase of the population of that city,
says--
A strong impulse is now given to the acivity
and enterprise ol the citizens ot Boston, and the
prospect is that lor some years to c< me the in
crease of the population will be as g ear as it
has been during any period since 1790. Its
population according to th United States
census was 93 383 in 1840 The number now
is probably about 110,000 In 1850 the number
will probably be at least 142.000.
Among the means calculated to sustain this
activity and enterprise of its citizens, none are
more obvious than the means of communica
tion, especially by Railroads, which radiate
from Boston as a centre, Northeasterly to Port
land the principal commercial place in Maine;
Northcrlv to Concord the capital of' New Hamp
shire; Westerly to Albany the capital of New-
York; SouUneeslerly through Connecticut; —
S'Ut/ierly lo Providen-e, the capital of Rhode
Island; and Southeasterly to Plymouth where
the first Pilgrims landed Branches communi
cating with these main trunks, are constructed
for more local purposes, so that the whole
territory is overspread with a sort of net work,
whose iron rods approach within a tew miles
of every considerable town in the common
wealth. These roads have been constructed at
a cost of some 20 millions of dollars, mostly at
the expense of individuals, w<lio will not willing
ly suffer these works to fail of fulfilling their
destiny of conveying men and merchandize
from and to the city ot Boston. The stimulus
felt will hardly be less wherever these lines
approach to facilitate con munication. These
works centre tn B-tslon; they originated in
Boston; the capital for building them was most
ly furnished in Bosu n ; they ate chiefly man
aged in Boston, and by centering in Boston,
they make this city lhe general depot of the
Commerce of the whole State.
The Mexican Indemnity.—Since Gov.
Shannon’s arrival in this city, we find the ease
of the Mexica n indemnity to be just as we had
presumed. Mr. Voss, our agent, had found it
impossible to get lhe money at lhe treasury ot
the Capital, as the revenue was constantly an
ticipated forthe army and the domestic creditors
before reaching its" central point. Mr. Voss
therefore found it necessary to do as others did.
and tak ■ dalts on the treasuries of the depart
nents, which had just been arranged when Mr.
Shannon arrived. There was no doubt at the
time, that the drafts would be speedily paid, as
the. design of the Government was evidently
fair. Mr. Voss receipted for these bills as pay
ment, the Mexican Minister announced the
'ayinent,and Mr. Shannon sent home the an
nouncement with his own endorsement. The
Irafts were handed to a large house in ih“ city
>f Mexico for collection, but the revolution
>r»ke out soon after, and all the money was
seized upon for the Army and whoever could
>el it first. This is the only reason why the
noney was not received. As it is, the drafts are
-till in the hands ot the agents of the United
States, unsatisfied.
The Mexican Government, however, instead
f regarding the money as paid, or themselves
released in any way by the transaction, count
themselves doubly bound to pay, and will un-
doubtedly pay these draft*, whatever may be
done about the subsequent instalments.
The whole matter seems to have been as well
managed as it could be. Al any rate, the in
demnity stands as well, and in fact much better,
than if the drafts had not been taken.—N. Y.

Moral Courage*
There is no courage like moral courage; and
the highest degree ol moral courage is that
which is exhibited upon small occasions. The
moral courage of a minister of State is often re
garded asa matter of wonderment. Sometimes
the moral courage of politicians quite staggers
us! To know one’s self requires some study;
to master one’s self is the greatest of all moral
exertions. Great acts ot self-sacrifice, we re
peat, are nothing to little ones. The doctor
bleeds bis dearest friend without drawing a
sigh: so does the fawyear; the feelings are ex
cli ded from matters of business. The insol
vent comes boldly forward, makes a virtue ot
necessity, ar.d— meets his creditors; he is reward
ed with his freedom; he becomes an emancipa
ted man—can walk both sides ot the way up
and down great throughtares—and, what is more,

Borrowing Names —lt is not known in this
country that in Paris nothing is more common
than to borrow the name of a celebrated writer
to attach to a new work. A cotemgorary ob
serves that it has long been positively asserted
that M Dumas does not write all the romances
that bear his name, and a little while ago a
young author published a pamphlet containing
a startling attack relative thereto. For this l.e
was sentlo orison for fifteen days. In the news
papers there is the report of a case which, to a
c»rtain extent, proves that the young author ad
vanced nothing that was untrue, for Dumas and
his publisher make a complaint against a pub
lisher for advertising a work printed in a news
paper under the name ot Dumas, as written by
another person. Now it is perfectly notorious
in the literary world ot Paris, that Dumas no
more wrote the book in question than the man
in the Moon; and there is too much reason to
believe that it is the same with halt the works
that bear the name of Alexander Dumas. We
find Scribe’s name to some hundred plays. An
author brings his play to Scribe, he reads it,
makes some additions or alterations, adds his
name to it; it is played and the poor author re
ceives half the nett proceeds: Scribe pockets
the other half and the lame it there be any.
Whaling Fl-et. -Our whaling fleet, says
the Newburyport Herald, now counts six hun
dred and twenty-five vessels, the greater part i f
which are'hips of four hundred tons buri hen,
amounting in all to two hundred thousand tons.
The majority of these vessels cruise in the
Pacific Oce -n. Between fifteen and sixteen
thousand men are required to man these vessels,
halt of whom go to sea tor the first time as
“ green hands,” and return after a voyage ol
fatigue and hazard transformed into sailors.
The value of the whale fl-et is estimated at
not less than twenty-five millions ol dollars, ex
tracted from the ocean by hard toil, exposure,
and danger. The estimated quantity of oil im
ported into the United States is about four hun
dred thousand barrels, nearly on: half of which
is sperm oil.
The effirts of the Treasurer ot lhe State of

A Millerite returned to his Senses.—A
Millerite tn Boston, engaged in a large manu

his oldest son, binding him to pay to his other
children their proportionate shares, and taking
tor himself one thousand dollars, lo detray bis

lo endure. The gentleman commenced preach
ing until the doctrines of Miller exploded, and
his zeal then abated, and he found out his delu
sion. He tried then to recovered his property;
but, tailing, commenced a suit against his son,
his plea being that at the time he made lhe sale
he was laboring under a delusion, and was not
therefore in a sound state of mind. The case
will excite a good deal of interest. Both Mr.

I was lately invited to pass a few days at the
residence of a friend in the country. It was a
plain, unpretending mansion—such.as you may
see on any plantation of the South-standing
near a cool, shadowy river in the pine forests,
amt embowered among trees—the very place lor
a retreat in the hot, lazy days of summer. I
arrived in the cool of the morning, with some ol
the family, and met a kind reception from the
ladies ofthe house, to whom I was not entirely
a stranger. They were amiable, beautiful and
accomplished, and in their society the day passed
most delightfully.
As evening approached, a drive was propos
ed. and lhe old family carriage presently made
its appeaiance. A queer looking, rickety as
fairit was—nineteen years in service, and now
almost tumbling to pieces with age; but as I
am neither ceremonious nor fastidious, it seem
ed the very thing for our expedition.
W e got in—three ladies, myself, and a pretty
little romp about eight years old—one ol the
gentlemen acting as driver; all in high spirits,
and withevery prospect of a pleasant excursion.
But judge of my horror, when, at the foot of a
declivity, the carriage stopped, and a black
nurse, who had been silting by th<- stream, came
up with “Missus, hea’s Evy ” At once the
arms of mytaircompanions were stretched forth
to gra«p tiie treasure. I was in for it—there
could be no retreating
“ Isn't she pretty, Mr. 5.7” exclaimed one.
I am a veracious man, so I stammered forth
my real opinion.
"No pretty ! 1 tty booty, he call ’oo no pretty.
Bad man, kiss ’am.” And the thing completely
heslobered my face.
A bottleot sugared milk, with some bread and
meat in an old newspaper had been handed in,
and one ol lhe first operations was lo cram the
darling, who now completely engrossed atten
tion
“Itty bit, eatit’y bit. Nice mick, dink, dinky,
dinky.”
The pewter tea-cup wasemp'ied and the stuff
ing recommenced. Presently the angel’s dissat
isfaction was manifested by a prolonged squall.
“ She’s teething, poor thing,” observed one.
“Toofans hurt it? Let Anne feel toolans,
deary.”
A violent kick and squall was the answer, ac
companied by an unequivocal sttetching of the
darling’s arms towards myself. My flesh fairly
crept.
And with these words’he animated lumps of
dirty white fat was deposited directly on my
lap!
“Dere now, itty ma’am, you satisfied'!—
Dodo.”
“ Itty ma’am” replied by a vehement yell.
“ Want bread"! <’ood bread.” But the bread
was rejected, with aery for meat; and lumps
of ham fat were accordingly deposited, partly
in the child’s open mouth, but liberally on my
new ash-colored inexpressibles. A fit of cough
ing and choking presently occasioned a resort
to the milk-bottle. Half a cupfull taking the
roug direction was thrown back into my face in
a shower, while at the same moment a vigorous
kick upset ard broke the bottle scattering its
contents over my Parisian frock, and slightly
scratching the young cherub, who began to roar
like ten bull calves. All was at once anxiety
and confusion.
"Poor itty foot! Bottle hurtfbotens? Naughty
bottle! See, bottle dead, done broke! Poorfoot
ens I now kiss and make it well.”
The child waspresenlly pacified. I stooped
forward to pick up the remains of the bottle,
when—oh, horror! the urchin made a violent
grabatmy wig. a remarkable fine and natural
looking one. Off it came, and in another instant
was flirted into lhe road, and lay crushed into
the mud beneath the wheels, and my bald crani
um shone unprotected in the rays of the setting
sun !
This was too much. The politeness of my
companions could ill restrain their mirth. I
had never before been suspected ot baldness.
But our attention hitherto monopolized by
the angelic brat, was now attracted by lhe me
nacing appearance of lhe skies. Our vehicle
was turned homeward; but too late. Down
came lhe rain, a perfect torrent, against which
he tattered roof ot our ernzy conveyance could
afford no protection. In five minutes we were
drenched t > the skin. But the squall without
was nothing to that within The food with
which the interesting prodigy had been gorged
sat uneasily on its stomach—(the condition ot
my vest soon bore evidence of lhe fact)—and
wet, sick, scared and out of temper, it scream
ed like a steam whistle. In vain did my com
panions, with inconceivable patience, essay to
pacify it—screech followed screech.
My wits fairly deserted me; the last thing 1
remember was the breaking down ot the car
riage—a crash, a stunning blow, that seemed to
come from the child—and 1 was insensible. I
woke to find myself with a broken atm, under
the surgeon's care. A three week' fever and
delirium succeeded, during which I fancied my
self in nurgatorv, tormented by infant imps

ladies entered. “Mr. S , I have brought

Marshal Murat.
Extract from the Review of a French work,
purporting to be a history ot the private and
public life of Marshal Murat.
“ His three distinguished characteristics were,
high chivalric courage, great skill as a general,
and almost unparalleled coolness in the hour of
extremes! peril. Added to all this, Nature had
lavished her gills on the mere physical man.
His form was tall and finely proportioned—his
tread like that of a king—his face striking and
noble, while bis piercing glance lew men could
bear. This was Murat ou foot, but place him
on horseback, and he was still mure imposing.
He never mounted a steed that was not worthy
ot the boldest knight of ancient days, and his
incomparable seat made both horse and rider an
object of universal admiration. The English
invaAgbly condemn the theatrical costume he
al wore, as an evidence ot "folly, but we
think it is all in keeping with his character.—
He was not a man of deep thought and com
pact mind, but he was an oriental in his tastes,
and loved everything gorgeous and imposing
He usually wore a rich Polish dress, with lhe
collar ornamented with gold brocade, ample
pantaloons, scarlet or purple, and embroidered
with gold; boots of yellow leather, while a
straight diamond-hilled sword, like that worn
by the ancient Romans, completed his dashing
exterior. Ho wore heavy black whiskers, long
black locks which streamed over his shoulders
and contrasted singularly with his fiery blue
eye. On his head he wore a three-cornered
chapeau, from which rose a magnificent while
plume that bent under lhe profusion of ostrich
leathers, while beside it and in the same gold
band, towered away a splendid heron plume.
Overall thisbril iant costume, he wore in cold
weather a pelisse of green velvet, lined and fring
ed with the costliest sables. Neither did he
forget his horse in this gorgeous appareling but
had him adorned with the rich Turkish stirrup
and bridle, and almost covered with azure
colored trappings. Had all this finery been
piled on a diminutive man, or an indifferent
rider like Bonaparte, it would have appeared
ridiculous; but on the splendid charger and
still more majestic figure and bearing of Murat,
it seemed all in place and keeping. This
dazzling exterior always made him a mark for
the enemy’s bullets in battle, and it is a wonder
that so conspicuous an object was never shot
down. Perhaps there never was a greater con
trast between two men, than between Murat
and Napoleon, when they lode together along
the lines previous to battle. The square
figure, plain three-cornered hat, leather bree
ches, bro tn surtout, and careless seat ot Napo
leon, were the direct counterpart of the magni
ficent display and imposing attitude of his
chivalric brother in-law. To see Murat deck
ed out in this extravagant costume at a review,
might create a smile, but whoever once saw
that gialy caparisoned steed with its comman
ding rider in the front rank of battle, plunging
like a thunderbolt through the broken ranks, or
watched the progress of that towering white
plume, as floating high over the tens of thou
sands that struggle behind it—a constant mark
to the car.non balls that whistled like hail stones
around it—never felt like smiling again at
Murat. Especially would he forget those gilded
trappings when he saw him return from a
charge, with his diamond-histed sword drip
ping with blood, his gay uniform riddled with
balls and singed and blackened with powder,
while his s rong war-horse was streaked with
foam and blood, and recking with sweat. That
white plume was lhe banner to the host he led,
and while it continued fluttering over the field
of the slain, hope was never relinquished.—
Many a time has Napoleon seen il glancing
like a learn of light to the charge, and watch
ed its progress like lhe star of his destiny, as it
smuggled for awhile in the hottest ofthe fight,
and then smiled in joy as he beheld it burst
through the thick ranks of infantry scattering
them from his path like chaff before lhe wind.
We said, the three great distinguishing traits
ot Murat were high chivalric courage, great
skill as a general, and wonderful coolness in the
hour of danger. Napoleon once said, that in
battle he was nrobably the bravest man in the
world. There was something more than mere
success to him in battle. Heimesiedit with
a sort of glory in itself—threw an air of ro
mance about il all, and fought frequently, we
believe, almost in an imaginary world. The
device on his sword, so like the knights of old
—his very costume copied from those warriors
who lived in more chivalric days, and his
heroic manner and bearing, as he led his troops
into battle, prove him to be wholly unlike all
other generals of th t lime. In his person at
least, he restored the days of knighthood. He
himself unconsciously lets nut this peculiarity,
in speaking"! his battle on Mount Tabor with
the Turks. On the top ot this hill, Kleber with
5,000 men, found himselt hemmed in by 30,000
Turks. Fifteen thousand cavalry first came
thundering down on this band ot 5.000 arranged
in the form of a square. Forsix hours they main
tained that unequal combat, when Napoleon
ar ived with succor on a neighboring hill. As
he looked down on Mount Tabor, he could see
nothing but a countless multitude covering the
summit of the hill, and swaying and tossing
amid the smoke that curtained them in. It was
only by the steady vollies and simultaneous
flashes of musketry, that he could distinguish
where his own brave soldiers maintained their
ground. The shot of a solitary twelve pound
er. which he fired toward the mountain, first
announced to his' enhausted countrymen that
relief was at hand. The ranks then, for the
first time, ceased acting on the defensive, and
extending themselves charged bayonet. It was
against such terrible odds Murat loved to fight,
and in this engagement he outdid himself. He
regarded it lhe greatest battle he ever fought.
C nee be was nearly alone inthe centre of a large
body of Turkish cavalry. All around, nothing
was visible but a mass of turband heads and flash
tngscimetars, except in the centre, where was
seen a single white plume tossing like a rent ban
neroverthe throng. For a while the battle thick
ened where it stooped and rose, as Murat’s
strong war-horse reared and plunged amid the sa
bre strokes that fell like lightning on every sid",
—and then the multitude surged back, as a single
rider burst through covered with his own blood
and those of his foes, and his arm red to the
elbow that grasped his dripping sword.—His
steed staggered under him and see. "ed ready to
fall, while the blood poured in streams from his
sides. But Murat’s eye seemed to burn with
four-fold lustre, and with a shout, those who
surrounded him never forgot to their latest day,
he wheeled his exhausted steed on the foe, and
at the head of a body ol his own cavalry tramp
ed everything down that opposed his progress.
Speaking of this terrible fight, Murat said that
in the hottest ot it he thought of Christ, and his
transfiguration on that same spot nearly two
thousand years before, and it gave him ten-fold
courage and strength. Covered with wounds,
he was promoted in rank on the spot. This
single lact throws a flood of light on Murat’s
character, and shows what visions of glory of
ten rose before him in battle, giving lo his whole
movement and aspect, a greatness and dignity
that could not be assumed.
None could appreciate this chivalrous bearing
ot Mural more than the wild Cossacks. Inthe
memorable Russian campaign, he was called
from his throne at Naples to take command of
the cavalry, and perform prodigies ot valor in
that disastrous war. When the steeples and
towers of Moscow at length rose on lhe sight,
Murat looking at his soiled and battle-worn
garments, declared them unbecoming so great
an occasion as tne triumphal entrance into the
Russian capital, and retired and dressed himself
in his most magnificent costume, and thus ap
pareled rode at the head of his squadrons into
lhe deserted city. The Cossacks had never seen
a man that would compare with Murat in the
splendor of his garb, the beauty ot his horse
manship, and, more than all, in his incredit le
daring in battle. Those wild children of the
desert would often stop, amazed, and gaze in
silent admiration, as they saw him dash, single
handed, into the thickest or their ranks, and
scatter a score of their most renowned warriors
from his path, as if he were a b -It from heaven.
His eflect upon these children of nature, and
the prodigies he wrought among them, seem to
belong to the age of romance rather than to our
practicalities They never saw him on his
magnificent steed, sweeping to the charge, his
tall white plume •streaming behind him, without
sending up a shout ot admiration belore they
closed in conflict.
In approaching Moscow, Murat, with a few
troops, had left Gjatz somewhat in advance ot
the grand army, and finding himself constantly
annoyed by the hordes of Cossacks that hovered
around him, now wheeling away in thedistance,
and now dashing up to his columns, compelling
them to deploy, lost all patience, and obeying
one of those chivalric impulses that so often
hurled him into the most desperate straits, put
spurs to his horse, and galloping all alone up
to the astonished squadrons, halted right in front
ot them, and cried out in a tone ot command,
“ Clear the way, reptiles?” Awed by his man
ner and voice, they immediately dispersed.—
During the armistice whilethe Russians were
evacuating Moscow, these sons of the wilder
ness flocked by thousands around him. As
they saw him reining his high-spirited steed to
wards them, they sent up a shout of applause,
and rushed forward to gaze on one they had seen
carrying such terrors through their ranks. They
called him their “ hetman,”—the highest honor
they could confer on him—and kept up an in
cessant jargon as they examined him and his
richly caparisoned horse. They would now
point to his steed—now to his costume, and then
to his white plume, while they fairly recoiled
belore his piercing glance. Murat was so much
pleased by the homage of these simple hearted
warriors, that he distributed among them all
the money he had, and all he could borrow from
the officers about him, and finally his watch,
and then the watches of his ft i> nds. He had
made many presents to them before; for often,
in battle, he would select out the most distin
guished Cossack warrior, and plunging direct
ly in the midst of theencmv, engage him single
handed, and take him prisoner, and afterwards
dismiss him with a gold chain about his neck
or some other rich ornament attached to his
person.

arrange for a spirited celebration, and should
deem it unnecessary to express a hope that th elr
fellow-citizens will seesnd their exertions, and
swell the enthusiasm of euch an occasion by a
general attendance, and ob ervance of the orde l
of arrangements. Let not the lamp of patriot
ism wane at such a period of our history. Like
a band of brothers, let ue again surround the al
tar of our country, and there renew our oaths to
transmit the heritage of freedom, received front
our fathers, undiminished to our posterity.

irj* THE subscriber would announce
to all persons interested in the improvement and
erection of mills, that he has sold his entire inte
rest in the above Patent Water Wheels, in the
State of Georgia, to Thomas Hopkins and Ly
man S. Catlin, of Augusta, and Collins Potter,
Mill Wright, and he confidently recommends

GIDEON HOTCHKISS.
Augusta, Ga., May 1, 1845.
The undersigned having purchased the Patent
of lhe above celebrated wheels forthe State of
Georgia, are prepared to receive proposals for
the sale of rights for counties or for single rights.
They are also prepared to ettppivaff orders
for wheels at short notice, and to furnish compe
tent workmen to put them in successful operation
in any part of the State. The Wheels being of
cast iron, will last an age. They constitute the
requisite Fly or Balance Wheel, securing a uni
form motion in all parts of each revolution.
They can be placed on the shaft of a co r mon
Flutter Wheel Mill, if in good order, and hung
upon the same bearings, if sufficiently strong to
sustain the power of the Wheels. When used
for Saw Mills they require no gearing to produce
from 175 to 300 strokes per minute. Backwater
is no impediment when there is a head above.
Ail communications upon the subject address
ed to Charles Catlin, Augusta s Ga., will receive
prompt attention.

DIED-
Suddenly, on the 11th ult, in Columbia coun
ty, Ga., Mrs. Ann Holsenbake, consort of Mr.
M. D. Holsenbake, aged 54 years and 9 rponths,
within five days.
The deceased was a worthy member of the
Baptist church, tor the last 27 years, and was re
markable for her pietv and devotion. She has
left a large number of friends, and a husband and
seven children, to mourn her loss—the youngest
of her children nine years We need not add, il
we could, the least to her well known qualities,
but would simply observe, she lived the life of a
wife, tn dherand friend. For she was a devout
wife for thirty-five years, and none craved charity
at her hands without receiving assistance. —
Peace be with the dead.
At his residence in Wrightsboro, on the 23d
inst., Albert Holliman, aged thirty-eight years.
He had been for some months past complaining of
a partial affection of the chest and spine, but when
the hand of affliction gave warning of hie final
exit it was painful and severe. He will be long
remembered by his friends as a generous and
ykind neighbor, an affectionate parent, an indul ■
gent master. Hie friends mourn his loss, and
long will it be ere our village will be blessed with
his equal in many of the social qualities of life.
A Friend.
Departed this life, on the 27th ult, Maiy
Elizabeth, infant daughter ot Catherine Brtice,
aged 14 months.
Sleep on, my heart's delight, sleep on,
My sighs and tears cannot awake thee,
I must but wait until my turn,

Charlbston. June 28.
We have no new featuie to notice in business du
ring the current week, as most branches of trade have
coniinuedin the depressed slate noticed in oar pre
vious number There was some inquiry for the lower
grades of Sugars and also of Molasses, but dealers were
unable to come to terms, and rhe transactions in these
articles, as well as most others classed under the head
of Groceries, have been confined to small lots, to sup
ply the immediate wants of the city trade. At present
it is impossible io give quotations with any degree of
accuracy, and we would again remark that onr present
figures must be considered nominal.
Cotton— No ihi ng worthy of particular notice has
transpired in'he Upland market throughout the week
just closed iS'tnce our publication of the 21st instant
accounts have leached us from the other side per the
Caledonia at Boston, advising of a slight reduction in
prices, but in consequence of the very limited supply
on sale, and the concentration of the slock in a few
hands these advices have had no influence upon the
*i tide, and we would refer to onr quotations of the
previous Saturday for the state of the market at the
close of business yesterday. The sales of the week
reach 3646 bales against the receipt in the same time
nf 1620 bales. The sales comprise 153 at 51. 18 at &},

WARM SPRINGS.
®THE State of Georgia, deserved
ly celebrated for the fertility of its soil, lhe
richness and abundance of its mineral ores, its
stupendous cataracts, and beautifui mountain
scenery; can also boast the m rst valuable mine
ral fountains on the face of the globe.
This is no vain boasting; a distinguished gen
t'eman, one who has travelled extensively in fo
reign lands, assures us, that while in England
and on the Continent, he visited the most cele
brated watering places; that he saw not one on
« hich Nature nad been so prodigal of her gifts
as those bestowed on the Warm Springs, in Meri
wether county, Georgia.
This truly wonderful natural curiosity, and de
lightful Summer retreat is situated on a spur of
the Pine Mountains, thirty-six miles north of the
city of Columbus. A fountain, gushing forth
per minute fourteen hundred gallons of crystal
water of 90° temperature, is indeed a rare curios
ity. Its virtue, however, of curing diseases,
which have defied the skill of the most eminent
Physicians, seems still more wonderful.
The ingredients of the water as ascertained by
accurate analysis are—quantity one wine nint,
or 28,875 cubic inches—specific gravity 0,998 —
distilled water being 1000 G4SSES—Carb inic
acid gas, 2 cubic inches. Sulphurate of Hy
drogen, a trace.—Solid contents: Carbonate of
Lime, 1 grain—Carbonate of Iron, 3.5, grains—
Carbonate of Magnesia, 10.09. The tempera
ture of the water, Winter and Summer, 90 de
grees.
The certificates of Judge Stocks, of Greene,
Mr. Carey, of Columbus, and others, who have
experienced its beneficial effects, and the opinions
of such Physicians as Boswell and Hoxey,
properties.
As a resort for him who already enjoys tho
blessings of health, and who chooses during the
sultry Summer months to lay aside the duties of
his avocations, to travel in sear, h of pleasure,in
a healthier and cooler clime, there are but few
places in America, where he can find cooler
breezes, more pictures, ue mountain scenery, a
great.tr diver'ity of amusements, or more re
fined society, and not one where he can enjoy
the luxury of warm bathing to such perfection rs
at this fivored spot.
The subscribers having become ths exclusive
Sioprietors, are permanently located here. They
eg leave to assure those who may honor them
with a visit, that all their energies will be direct
ed to anticipate the tastes and comfort of their
guests. The Hotel is open during the whole
year. A Postoffice (mail tri weekly) is establish
ed here—and a large assortment of goods kept,
Since last season, extensive improvements have
been made, and the whole place presents a new
and beautiful appearance. Passengers front Al
abama, Madison, or Griffin, will meet with no
delay, as hacks are always in readiness at Green
ville to carry them to the .Springs. A Irl-wcckly
line of stages runs from Columbus here during
the summer. R. & S. R. BONNER.
