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. £hrir?itte and Sentinel A tl G tl ST A, C A. & THURSDAY MORNING. The Southern Cultivator. The July number of the “Southern Cultiva tor” has just been issued, aad is ready for de livery. The table dfcontents will be found in another column. Whig Senatorial Nominations. Wilkinson & Laurens.... Weslby King, Washington & Jefferson. .. David Cl'uity. Weather and Caors.— We make the fol lowing extract from a private letter to the Edi 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 there was frost in the mountains.” 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 per cent. Out ot doors the demand is very 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 Interest, it is believed, will be fully and prompt ly paid. 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 Mr. Lester, American Consul at Genoa, has brought with him to New York a quantity of 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. O’The tailroadfare has been further redu duced between New York and Boston, so that a person can go with the greatest speed from one city to lhe other (207 miles) for two dollars. 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 cuted H r any crime or offence which may have been committed against this state and enume rated in the act entitled “ An act in relation to offences against the sovereign power of the state,” passed April 2, 1812, and everj’ person who is under recognizance, indictment or sen tence for or on account of any such offence, shall be and is hereby discharged from such recognizance, indictment or sentence and from all the civil and penal consequences thereof.

Leßoy Antony presented lhe following preamble and resolutions, and haviug received the second by Col. T. M. Berrien, were unanimoQsly adopt ed:' “ Haviug received the mournful intelligence of the death of Gen. Andrew Jackson, Ex-Prcsi deut of the U.

R solved, That, in common with our fellow countrymen, we tender his friends and relatives our most respectful sympathies. On motion ot Mr. Chas. Whitehead it was, Resolved, To publish the foregoingin the Au gusta journals. 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. Jov.r. Com. 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, be at home to everybody. There moral, social and philoso phical forlorn hopes uhichwe could mention; but they are for great men and great occasions. Our present purpose is to touch upon some of the minor affairs oflife, setting down, for the information ot people of limited means and pretensions, a lew words of homely advice, which they will do well to profit by; rules which have been" supplied to us from sources ot prac tical experience—maxims and aphorisms of simple sound, but weighty meaning—injunc tions which are the growth of conviction—a sort ol small salad advice, which has sprung up in men’s brains, the spontaneous growth of reason and reflection, and brought fotth lor a wise pur pose, no doubt. Have the courage to discharge a debt while you have the money in your pocket. Hive the courage to do without that which you do not need, however much you may ad mire it. Have the courage to speak your mind when it becomes necessary that you should do so, and hold your tongue when it is better that you should be silent. Have the courage lo spaak to a poor friend in a seedy coat, even in the street, and when a rich one is nigh. The effort is less than many people take it to be, and the act is worthy a king. Have ttie courage lo set down every penny you spend, and add il up weekly. Have the courage to pass your host’s lackey at the door, without giving him a shilling, when you know you cannot afford it—and, what is more, that the man has not earned it. Have the courage to own that you are poor, and you disarm poverty of her sharpest sting. Have the courage to laugh at your personal defects, and the world will be deprived of that pleasure, bv being reminded of their own. Have the courage to admit that you have been in the wrong, and you will remove the tact from the mindsol others, putting a desiia ble impression in the place of an unfavorable one. Have the courage to adhere to a first resolu tion when you cannot change it lor a better; and to abandon il at the eleventh hour upon conviction. Have the courage to make a will, and what is more, a just one. Have the courage to face a difficulty, lest it kick you harder than you bargain for Diffi culties, like thieves, often disappear at a glance. Have the courage to leave a convivial party at a proper hour for so doing however great the sacrifice; and to stay away from one, upon the slightest grounds for objection, however great the temptation to go. Have the courage to place a poor man at your table, although a rich one be present, and to show equal courtesy to both; and to deny your house to those whose qualities you con demn, whatever be their character and station. Have the courage to dance with ugly people —il you dance at all; and to decline dancing, it you dislike the performance, or cannot ac complish it to your satisfaction. Have the courage to avoid accommodation bills however badly you want money; and to decline pecuniary assistance from your dearest friend. Have the courage to shot your eyes at the prospect of large profits, and to be content with small ones. Have the courage to tell a man why you will not lend him your money; he will respect you more than ifyou tell him you can't. Have the courage lo cut the most agreeable acquaintance you possess, when he convinces you that he lacks principle. “ A friend should bear with a friend’s infirmities”—not his vices. Haye the courage to show your preference tor honesty, in whatever guise it appears; and your contempt for vice, surrounded by at tractions. Have the courage to wear your old garments, till you can pay for new ones. Have the courage to thrust your legs down between the sheets in cold weathei; and to shave every day before breakfast. Haye the courage to pass the bottle without filling y< ur own glass, when you have reasons for so doing; and to laugh at those who urge yo.u to the contrary. vs apuijinsist upon your wire and daughters doing the likh. -r"- Have the courage to review your own con duct—to condemn it where you detect faults— to amen.l it to the best of your ability—to make good resolves for your future guidance, and to keep them. Have the courage to decline playing at cards for money, “ when money is an object,” or lo cease f laying when your losses amount to as much as you can afford to lose Have the courage to acknowledge ignorance of any kind; every body will immediately doubt you, and give you more credit than any false pretensions could secure.

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 Pennsylvania to procure payment of the inter est of the State debt due in August next are promptly seconded by the county authorities in various sections of the State: and there, is now no doubt that the interest will be paid as soon as it falls due. A Millerite returned to his Senses.—A Millerite tn Boston, engaged in a large manu facturing business, at the time the delusion r..ged the greatest, conveyed all his property to his oldest son, binding him to pay to his other children their proportionate shares, and taking tor himself one thousand dollars, lo detray bis expenses for the short time lhe world then had 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.

The barbarian has smug gled an alias; but we know him, despite his de vices to conceal himself. He is the same un feeling brute who ridicules “anxious , others” for taking their infants—those blessed things— to the opera last winter, as if a squall in lhe boxes did not help out the orchestra consumed ly. He was for putting wbistliag boys down, and indeed set himself up as a censor of man ners. As well might one sweeten coffee out of a vinegar cruet, as adapt society to the whims of a sterile member thereof. He has been courting of late, and because he got jilted he blackguards babies—those tender endearments that are not visible in the perspective ot his use less lite. He calls himself "Calebs '’ now, and disguises his chirography. But we know him. We publish his scurrility upon the blossoms that blow in the nursery of lite, to show how much mercy there is in the wqykl; for surelv il justice were done him, he would .be lopped off tiri.i ca.-u i'll., Hie fireqs a spi'tidjSif 't animated botat y that bears no fruit. Hear hl >i: — Heaven knows I am no misanthrope, still less a misogynist! but something in my idio syncraey hascertailymade me a mis psha! —ln plain English I am a baby hater. “ The hasty, heartless old brute ! ” exclaims some lady reader of a certain—or, perhaps, un certain —age. Brute, it you will, ma’am, though not old— perhaps young enough to be your son. But before you condemn me, hear whether my suf ferings are not my justification. The relation of one misery out of many will be sufficient. 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 On the third day of mv recovery, one ot the ladies entered. “Mr. S , I have brought baby to see you. Kiss urn, tweet— kiss uni, darling. Itty dartin’baby tweet, sorry for poor Mr. S ? Day day, Ir. S ” The child’s kiss smacked most nauseatingly of bread and butter, which I have loathed ever since. In spile of mv weakness, I took my departure that ver;- day. ’ II there are jnfants tn heaven, it is no heaven Ibr nie. Ccblebs.

As they were passing a window in one of the principal streets, some ladies beckoned to the standard b-arer, and, as he approached, placed a magnificent wreath of flowers on the staff of his banner, im mediately over the the portraitof him who was “first in war, first in peace, andfirst in the hearts of his countrymen."

Mammoth Corn.—We yesterday saw an ear of corn which measures sixteen inches in length and seven in circumference. It was grown at Tiapa, in the southeast corner of the State of Tabasco, Mexico, at the foot et the mountains.

Trinity Church.—This large and imposing edifice has been at length completed. The cap stone was laid with rejoicing on the top of the steeple on Friday last, and soon after a while eagle lighted upon it and there brooded in per lect repose for an hour. A good omen, signi fying that the church is soon to have a Bishop, arrayed in while garments, and perfectly puri fied ; but whether Bishop Onderdonk, wash ed in the waters of repentance, is to be the ru ler of Israel, it is hard yet to tell.— N. T. Herald of Sunday. Prom the American Review. 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. rU-THE AMERICAN REVIEW iWhig Journal of Politics, Literature, Art anJ Science—a Monthly Journal of one hundred and twelve pages.

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.

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. Warm Springs, Ga. July 3, 1845.
