4 THE WEEKLY 1 CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. - - i POETRY AND MISCELLANY. HOW SOFTLY ON THE BRUISED HEART. A SONG—BY C. D. STUART. How softly on the bruised heart A word of kindness falls, And to the dry and parched soul The moist’ning tear drop calls; O, if they knew, who walk the earth Mid sorrow, grief and pain, The power a word of kindness hath, ’Twere paradise again. The weakest, and the poorest, <uay This simple pittance give, And bid delight to wither’d hearts Return again and live ; O, what is life ifl.tve be lost ? If man’s unkind to man— Or what the heaven that waits beyond This brief but mortal span ? Asstars upon ths tranquil sea In mimic glory shine, So words of kindness in the heart Betray their source divine ; O, then, be kind, whoe’er thou art That breathest mortal breath, And it shall brighten all thy life, And sweeten every death. HOPE By B. T. Cushing. Thou of the silver wing! Bright glancing Hope, fair daughter of the skies, Come to me now and woe me with thine eyes, As in my boyhood’s spring ! Then kind indeed wert thou, As I sat musing by the crystal rill, Orclimbi d at eve high on some beetling hill, To see the young moon’s brow. Thou earnest to m ? there, And whispered words of gladness in my ear, And painted visions beautiful to hear, Os com ng moment’s fair. Along thy magic glass, I saw bright pageantries flit too and fro, And pal ices of gold, where garden’s grow With flowers of loveliness. And all along the walks Stbod statues of the radiant gods bf yore, And fountains foamed o’er the mosaic floor, And murmuring leaves held talks. And there 1 saw divine, Proud forms of female beauty sweeping by, And all these things that shone so gorgeously, Ail these were mine ! Then changed the scene anon, And to the world 1 struck the silver lyre, And thou didst whisper, poured a fervid fire, Like the true spirits gone. Then shone I gay in arms : Then ruling thousands through the potent voice, By wisest counsels bade my land rejoice, Unscathed by wars alarms. In thee I had a home, A bride of beauty and a gentle band, Twining around me closer, hand in hand, Too glorious for the tomb ! For thy sweet fancies fair They never died ; I could not give away The creatures of the mind to mix with clay, Or fade in empty air? But they are gone and thou ! Tliy rainbow wing hath ceased at length to wave, Thy gentle children all are in the grave, Their dust is on thy brow ! But still this hast thou given, To breathe a cheerfullness o’er common life. To make each common scene with beauty rife, And teach a faith in Heaven ! Columbus, (Ohio,) 1343. [Knickerbocker. From the Baltimore American. Franklin expressed a wish to live his life over a gain ; Jackson said he would not accept the boon ; the writer of the following linesexpresses his willing ness to try the experiment. REJUVENESCENCY. Old age has sickness, grief and pain, And youth is not without them ! Yet I would live my life again And caro not much about them. I’ve lived my three score years and ten, Andfewinen live much longer, Put me at twenty back again And I should be much stronger. Thus starting on my new career, With knowledge prepofe-sessed, I better could life’s journey steer With wisdom in my breast. I’d shun the follies of my youth, The pride of middle age, 1 could not mend my love of truth, Nor more in it engage. I’d meddle not in politics, As 1 have done before, But try and learn my mind to fix, On things that profit more, Riches should have no charms fur me, But what I value more, A heart I’d have for charity, To feed anil bless the poor. The sciences I’d cultivate, A linguist I would be I’d court the learned; the vulgar great Should seldom trouble me. One friend, of sentiments refined, Should know my inmost thoughts, I >i*cerning he should be and kind And tell me all my faults. Beside a gentle murin’ ring stream, In some sequestered grove, My humble cottage should be seen With men and books i love. My little farm, of fertile land, In every part should shine, Ceres should placa the circling boards, Pomona procure the wine. A cabinet ol things most rare, Would much delight my soul, They should be sought in earth and air, And brought from either j»le. A microscope to view their lines, And see them all ar.'ght, That magnified ten thousand times Would give me much delight. And then to view the spangled skies, The utars in gr Mips to marshal, I’d have a telescope in size Resembling that of Herschel. Since I can’t stay a second time, My wishes to fulfil, Translate me to some distant cliiue, O God, to learn thy will. Or when I bid this world adieu Lend me a Seraph’s wings, The utmost bounds of space to view, Far, far from human things. w. L. H. Woodlawn, Hartford Co., Jan. 22d, 1849. The Danger op Riches. —No rich man— -1 lay it down as an axiom of all experience— no rich man is safe, who is not a benevolent man. no rich man in safe but in the imitation of that benevolent God, who is the possessor and disposer of all the riches of the universe What else mean the miseries of a selfish, luxtir ions, and fashionable life every where ? What means the sighs that come up from purlieus, and couches, and most secret haunts of all splendid and indulgent opulence ? Do not tell me that other men aresulferers too. Say not that the poor and distitute. and forlorn, are miserable also. Ah ! just heaven thou hast appointed unto those a lot hard, lull hard to bear. Poor houseless wretches who “eat the bitter bread of penury, and drink the baleful cup of misery;” the winter winds blow keen ly through your "looped and windowed ragged ness; your children wander about unshod, un clothed, and untended; I wonder not that they sigh. But why should they, who are surroun ded by everything that hear can wish, or imagi nation can conceive—the very crumbs that fall from whose table of prosperity might feed hundreds —why should they sigh amidst their profusion and splendor/— They have broken the bond that shall connect power with usefulness, and opulence with misery. They have taken up their treasures, and wandered away into a forbidden world of their own, far from the sympathies of suffering humanity ; and the heavy night dews are descending upon their splendid revels, and the tll-elnddening light of heavenly beneficence is exchangd for the sickly glare ofselfiish enjoyment, and happiness: the blessed angel that hovers over generous deeds and heroic virtue, has lied away from the world of false gaiety and fashionable exclusion. American Farmers—. Many thousand far mere in New England rear large families, pay all their debts and taxes promptly, live in dependently. well clothed and comfortably hous ed and provided for on farms of fifty acres.— The idea is that these people labor severely. This is a great mistake. They have much be cause they waste no time. With them there is “I place for every thing, and every thing in its place.” Their horses, cattle, tools and imple ments, are attended to with clock-like regulari ty. Nothing is put off till to-morrow that can be done to-day. Economy is wealth and sys tem affords ease. These men are seldom in a hifrry. except in harvest time. And in long winter evenings or severe weather, which forbid employment out door, one makes corn brooms another shoes, a third is a carpenter, cooper, or tailor, and one woman spins, another weaves, and a third plaits "Leghorn bonnets ” And the families thus occupied are among the most healthy in the world. It is easy with them to re healthy in the world. It is easy with them to re duce their means, if convenient, or prudent, and to extend their means to their wishes.— Genesee Farmer. Beautiful Extract.—When the face of Nature is wreathed with smiles, and the heart rejoices in prosperity, it is because some darling object is about to be obtained; some valuable possession near at hand. It is the hope of hap piness that sustains the soul when sinking under adversity : that calms the troubled spirit; that pours into the heart of grief those consolations which are healing. The chief aim and object of life is happiness and the pursuit thereof per manent pleasure, for even in the darkest day of life may be seen the beautiful rainbow of hope, and it sends its rays of light far over the tearful chasm of death, into a land where the eye that is fading on earth can discern objects ot heavenly beauty. The hope of happiness is the rainbow and the sunshine of life; and and though clouds may sometimes darken the horizon. yet the rainbow will soon appear and tha clouds give place to sunshine and beau ty Business OF the Patent Office.—Messrs.

Oregon as tt has been Represented! and as it From all the information we were enabled to obtain before emigrating to this country, we arrived at the conclusion that the lower portion of the country (the portion between the Cas cade and Coast Mountains) possessed a rich soil, with a surface generally level and conve niently diversified with prairie and timber; that the middle portion of the country (between the Cascade and Blue Mountains) possessed considerable, though not extraordinary advan tages. and that the eastern portion of the coun try (between the Blue and Rocky .Mountains) was of little or no value. We had lived in New England, and in the Western States, and had expected to find Oregon a New England—in creased in the size and grandeur of its moun tians, trees, and streams, and increased also in the extent of its valleys, and temperate in its climate. Oregon as a whole, far, very far, sur passes our expectations. The Willamette valley does not contain as much level land as we had expected ; but its soil is as rich, and its tillable land much more extensive than we had expected to find it. Nearly all the American settlements in Oregon are confined to the Wil lamette Valley, and yet much choice land be tween Puget Sound and the head waters of this river remain untaken. The degrees of fer tility of any soil may be safely estimated from its products. The ordinary forest trees not only grow here in gigantic proportions—the black alder in Oregon grows to a stately tree fit for saw logs, from two to three feet in dia meter. To doubt that such a soil would rich y reward the labor of the husbandman, is trea son against the Architect of Nature. This val ley has received favorable representations from nearly all who have seen it, and spoken or written in relation to it. The land in this val ley, for forty miles from its foot, is generally rolling, and covered with dense or scattering timber; above this distance, to the head of the valley, about one hundred and forty miles, the prairie predominates. The lower portion of the valley possesses an extremely rich soil, and is valuable for its timber, fish, and water-pow er, but presents but little natural beauty. The middle and upper portion of the valley is strik ingly beautiful and grand, and to its great beauty and grandeur, is added already a sensi ble preparation, by nature, for its settlement and profitable occupation by the weary travel ler. The lower portion of this valley is not without its prairies, among the most important of which are the Tualatin plains. These plains are in the form of a half moon, containing at least 40.000 acres of prairie land, extremely rich and beautiful, and are in full view of three snow-capped mountains in the "Cascade range. The country about PugelSound is extreme ly beautiful ; its soil is gravelly, and produces vegetables in great profusion, but is less suited to the growth of wheat than most parts of Ore gon. The Cowlitz country (between the sound and the Columbia) is interspersed with small rich prairies, productive in grains and vegeta bles, and, from recent explorations, believed to be rich in minerals. This portion of the country is but little settled. The country about the mouth of the Colum bia river has increased its population about one half from the last immigration. Clatsop plain, situate upon the Pacific, south of the mouth of Columbia river, possesses a gravelly soil, ex tremely productive of vegetables, but less pro ductive of wheat. These plains, and others similar, lying north of the river, as yet unset tled, have been formed by sand thrown up by the waves of the ocean, and enriched by the decay of vegetation. The soil of the timbered land in the vicinity of these plains is similar to the soil of this valley, and undoubtedly will prove to be richly productive of grains and fruits as well as vegetables. The Clamet, Rogues, and Um|><pia valleys (rivers emptying info the Pacific) are as yet unexplored and unknown. The Southern road to Oregon crosses these valleys high up, and, from what information we have obtained, we believe that they aie second to no portion of Oregon. We regard the middle portion of Oregon as one of the most valuable portions of the world, probably the mo.,t valuable for the purposes of grazing, ft is a great pasture field, extending more than 400 miles north and south, and over ft hundred miles east and west, containing more than 4,000,000 acres of land, almost every where covered with a thick carpet of nutritious grass. The climate of the lower portion of Oregon is good, but the climate of its middle portion is better. If the grazing lands is of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are valuable, af ter the expenditure of great labor and expense to make them so, then that portion of Oregon, sup plied as it is with a climate more healthy and mild than any of those States, and thickly spread by na ture with the richest grasses, is s/i/Z more valuable. If wool growing can be made profitable where sheep must be fed in winter, it can be made more profitable if they keephealtby and fat throughout the year upon the natural grasses of the country, as they have done and will do in the middle portions of Oregon.— Wheat, corn, oafs, potatoes, peas, garden vegeta bles, and fruits, produce well in that portion of the country. Coal and lead ore has been discovered there, and water power for manufacturing purposes is abundant. The middle and eastern portions of Ore gon have been grossly misrepresented in the States. We are not aware that grains have been grown in the eastern portion of Oregon, except at Fort Colville and vicinity ; yet, from ■he wild rye, flax, an i other products which abound in its valleys, we believe that grains, vegetables, and fruits may be cultivated there with success. Eastern Oregon is also valuable for its grasses, and we venture the assertion, believing that time will show its truth, that it contains more and better grazing lands than all New England. Il Na ture’s freaks and frowns appear there, her pleasan tries and smiles appear there also. Perhaps the beauty, grandeur, and sublimity of the works of na ture are nowhere mote imposing, and her mysferi ousness nowhere more unfathomable than in the eas tern portion of Oregon. The mineral springs of Hear river, with its pure and invigorating climate, is destined to become the great watering-place of the world. Oregon is not only valuable for its soil and grass's, but also for its climate, timber, and fisheries, ami for its location upon the Pacific. There are many intel ligent men in the States, who believe that Oregon has from five to six months of incessant rain, and a bout ns many months of drought in the year. We have passed a winter, but not a summer in Oregon. It is said here, that last summer was unusually dry. We arrived in the Willamette Valley on the 15th of September, some time before the commencement of the rainy season : and when we arrived the soil and vegetation showd less suffering from drought than we have frequently seen in the Slates. The wheal crop of the last season was unusually small, the cause of which is attributed here, to l ick ot the usual spring rains ; yet sufficient was produced, t supply the greatly increased population of the country with t<ead, and seed for sowing —all of which was full ami perfect. The last season’s crop of oats, potatoes, corn, (so far as it was planted.) vegetable*, and fruits, though not heavy, was sufficient for the wants of the country. These facts should satisfy any man that ib’* droughts of Oregon are more terrible in name than in fact. It seldom snows in this valley. In December last, we saw ice about three fourths of an inch thick on dead water in small shallow |nx>ls — the result of three cold days and nights. During the greater part of lust winter there were no frosts here. That which is here denominated the “rainy season” commenced <»n tho Ist of November, and ends on the Ist of March—four months. Between the last day of October, 1347, and the Ist day of March, 1848, in thia valley, the r e were seventy-six clear days, fourteen days on which it rained, hailed: or snowed dll day, and thirty days on which it was neither clear nor stormy all day. Those of our citizens who have passed the winter in the middle portion of Ore gon, represent the climate there as beautifully mild and pleasant, with scarcely a rainy day during the winter. The immense growth and quantity rs the timber of Oregon, we believe is generally admitted. The tim ber is valuable so far as it is needed for home con sumption ami so far as it is profitable fur exportation. There are eighteen raw mills in operation in Ore gon and a greater nuuitier nearly ready for operation, and yet lumber ia worth $29 per thousand in cur rency. The Oregon lumber is shipped to California and the Sandwich Islands, and its value for ship ment controls its price at home. That the rivers of Oregon abound with the choic est fish, we believe also is generally admitted. Seve ral hundred barrels of salmon are annually packed here; as tunny thousands of barrels might be pack ed annually. The day is not far distant when people residing upon the Atlantic coast will be engaged io the fish ing and lumbering business upon the Pacific. Lom ber is fast disappearing »>n the Atlantic. The fishe ries are becoming barren there. Whale fishing is almost exclusively confined to the Pacific. The pre sent work of whale fishing is performed at a great distance from borne. That farmer who goes ten miles from home to work his farm, cannot farm as pro fitably as he who lives upon his farm. Those who control the whale-fishing interest may continue to reside upon the Atlantic; but the operators Will reside upon the Pacific to collect and store. When the collecting and carrying branches of the whale-fishing interest shall be separated, that busi ness may be reduced to system and certainty, but not before. That the Pacific will soon become the seat of active and profitable commercial operations none can doubt; the capital of Oregon to be invested in these operations, furnished by Nature, is immense, beyond computation. Rules for the Journey of Life.—The fol lowing rules of Dr. West, were thrown togeth er as general way marks in the journey of life : Never ridicule sacred things, or what others may esteem such, however absurd they may appear to be. Never show levity when the people are professedly engaged in worship. Nevei re-ent a supposed injury till I know ihe views and motives of the author of it. Nor on any occasion to retaliate. Never to judge a person’s character by exter nal appearance. Always to take the part of an absent person who is censured in company,so far as truth and propriety will allow. Never to think the worse of another on account of his differing from me in politics or religious opin ions. Not to dispute with a man more than seven ty years of age. nor with a woman nor enthusi ast. Not to affect to be witty, or to jest so as to wound the feelings of another. To say as little as possible of myself, and those who are near me. To aim at cheerfulness without lev ity. Not to obtrude my advice unasked. Never to court the favor of the rich by flatter ing either their vanity or their vices. To speak with calmness and deliberation on ail occasions, especially in circmns ances which tend to irritate. Frequently to re\ tew my con duct and note my failings. On all occasions to have in prospect the end ot life and a future state.

Tuesday, Oct. 3, 1848. Extract from the Log.— About four bells in the middle watch, n. tremendous noise on deck —yelling and hallooing—starboard watch on deck. The second mate. Kitanu, bad gone for ward at the time, in consequence of the swing ing-boom guy giving way. He was immedi ately fell upon by the three men Jose Torres, Andreas Baldibezo and Jose Calero, and left dying on the deck. Capt. Alva hearing the noise came on deck and asked what was the oc casion of the noise. The ringleader, Torres, told him nothing, only a bad wind. Mr. Cook, passenger, came up after the captain. As the ‘atter was retreating aft. he was attacked by the three men and stabbed in several places. He however managed to get down into the cabin, and in reaching for a cutlass, endeavored to make Mr. McNally, who had just turned out on hearing the noise, comprehend what was going on. He then, with the cutlass in hand, gained the top of the companion, but was stabbed mortally by two men, one on each ! side; he fell back and staggering int? the cab- 1 in expired. Mr. Cook, seeing the captain run ning aft, pursued by the murderers, endeavored to get down into the cabin, but was stabbed through the back, left a little while on deck and afterwards thrown overboard. The murder ers then went forward, called the larboard watch, and showing their bloody knives, told them that they had murdered all aft except Mr. McNally, English master, Mrs. Cook, and her servant, Mary Hudson ; and that they were in command of the vessel, and if one of them re fused to obey their orders they would murder him directly. They then threw the body of the second mate overboard, and commanded the ship to be put about and steered for the coast of Peru. The remainder of the crew had no arms to defend themselves, and if the least hes itation was shown, the knife was at their throats. They then wentdown into the hold and brought up large stones and pieces of lead, which were laid on the deck for the purpose of killing Mr. McNally. About 8 o’clock A. M., they spoke, (by the carpenter) to Mr. McNally, assuring him that if he laid down his arms and submit ted quietly they would not take his life. He would not consent to that, but told them that if they would allow him, with the females, to be put, with what things they required into the gig and sent adrift, he would not trouble them at all, but would show them what course to take for the place to which they wanted to go. The three then spoke together, and answered that what he required s 1 oiild be done. They then passed the necessaries he wished to take with him, on deck, and one of them went down and got the course, for Malabrigo, from him. Trusting to their faith, he went on deck un armed. They had putthe ship aback and given pretended orders for forwarding the boat; but seeing it was not done, he went to the cabin sky-light and told the females not to come up then as the boat was not ready. He was step ping from the sky-light to the side of the vessel, when he was seized upon and thrown over board. The murderers then filled upon the ves sel and ordered all sail to be made. They then wentdown into the cabin, look all the gold they could find andbroughtiton deck, making every one in the vessel take his share. They then dressed themselves in the clothes belonging to the murdered, destroyedall papers they thought offensive, with many valuables which were thrown overboard. The captain’s body was tied up and with heavy weights sunk. They were shifting clothes four or five times a day, and parading the decks, They commanded the jib topsail to be cutaway ; fitted new swing ing boom gear and mainbooin guys. Wednesday, 4th, John Smith, born in Rot terdam, Holland; Wm. Peter Christiansan, Norway; Frank Feering, St. Michaels, Wes tern Islands ; John Berringer, Bordeaux, Fr.; Jose Bilboa, Spain, proposed a plan to take the lives of the murderers that night, and which was communicated to the rest of the crew, (four excepted.) The carpenter’s axe, maul, pump breaks, boarding-spikes, tec., were to be ready for the purpose. At 4 o’clock P. M., the three murderers brought up a quantity of wine, which was offered to the men in order to make them drunk. This being done, Andreas Bal dibezo went down into the hold, cut open one of the bags of silver and brought up some which he threw about the deck, they then com menced playing together for gold. zXfterwards they got a muster of fire arms together, trying which was the best, and loading them with heavy charges. One of them from the foot of the companion way, discharged a loaded pistol at the man at the wheel (John Smith) without effect. They then put the arms away for that time, but told the females they should have oc casion for them in the morning. They then came on deck, (half past 9 P. M.,) Jose Cale ro, having the first watch, and who was to call the other two at 12 o’clock, At 10 o’clock John Smith was relieved from the wheel and went to the lee side of the long boat and asked the carpenter if the implements were ready. The carpenter replied yes, all ready, but the axe was below. John Smith then went below in the steerage and brought it up, and told the boys, Charles and Thomas, to have the board ing-pikes ready, and should he want the cut lass to run down in the cabin and hand tnem up. Jose Calero who had the watch then, be ing drunk, struck eight bells at 11 o'clock. He then called out to heave the log. Smith imme diately seized the axe and running aft, des patched at once the sleep ng men (Jose Torres and Andrew Baldibezo) where they lay on the deck whilst Wm. Peter, who went to hold tho reel, dropped it and fell upon Jose Calero, try ing to get him overboard, but being unable to manage him, John Smith jumped to the lee side and struck off' his right arm with the axe. John then called out for the boys to get the cut lasses in the event of meeting with any oppo sition in the four men whom he could not con fide in ; but they received no opposition. The bodies of the three men were then thrown over board. John Smith then took command, the rest of the crew being all agreeable to the same. He then went down in the cabin, assuring the females of their safety, and consulted with Mrs. Cook as to what would be the best plan to pur sue in order to restore the vessel and cargo to the rightful owners. The money was all brought aft as it had been distributed and placed in the cabin. It was thought best to return to Mazatlan, and accordingly we steered the nearest course to that place. There was a heavy sea on, with frequent squalls. We took in flying gib, fore topmast staysail, and gaft topsail. The jib had blown to pieces, being in a bad state of repair. Between 6 and 8 o’clock P. M., the foretopsail sheet went three limes and the runner once.— The bowsprit was sprung in two places, and in consequence of the violent working of the vessel was expected to gq every minute. The topgallant mast had been badly sprung since leaving Mazatlan and was totally unfit to carry any sail. John Smith then went down into the cabin acquainting Mrs. Cook with the stale of the vessel and aspect of the weather. He thought it best to steer for the nearest land lie could make, and which she thought was the best thing that could be done. John then called Charles and Thomas down in the cabin.acquainting them with his purpose, and as they were the only persons that knew any thing of navigation, although their know ledge was imperfect, he told them to find the course for the Sandwich Islands. He then went on deck and asked all the crew if they were content to take the vessel to Oahu. A ready assent was given. Accordingly at three o’clock on the 15th of October, the vessel was put before the wind steering west by north half north, for the south part of Hawaii, where she arrived safely. A few words for Childrex.—You were made to be kind, generous and magnanimous. If there is a boy in the school who lias a club foot, don’t let him know that you ever saw it. If there is a boy with ragged clothes, don’t talk about rags when he is in hearing. If there is a lame boy. assign him some part of the game nhich does not require running. If there is a hungry one, give him a part ofyour dinner. If there is a dull one, help him to get his lesson, if there is a bright one. be not envious of him ; for if one boy is proud of his talents, and is en vious of them, there are two great wrongs, and no more talents than before. If a larger or stronger boy has injured you, and is sorry for it. forgive him. and ask the teacher not to pun ish him. All the school will show by their coun tenance how much better it is to have a great soul than a great fist.— Horace Mann. A Jewel of a Womam.—The editor of a Phil adelphia paper takes notices of a lady at a late concert in that city, who had 19 rings upon her fingers. 13 bracelets of different descriptions upon her arms, which were bare to the shoulder and very handsome. Her hands were small, white and beautiful. Some of the rings con tained diamonds of large size, amd whenever she moved her hand, it appeared to be in a blaze of light. This gaily decked lady was a subject of admiration to some, of envy to others, and of pity to a few. Her fan was expensive, and secured to her wrist by a heay gold chain. She w ore ear-rings, and a breast pin. Altogther she presented the appearance of a walking jew elry store, and so he regarded her as the most valuable woman, literally speaking, that he had ever seen. Daughters.— When a young woman be haves to her parents in a manner particularly tender and respectful—l mean from principle as well as nature—there is nothing good and gentle that may not be expected from her, in whatever condition she is placed. Os this lam so thoroughly persuaded, that, were I to advise any friend of mine as to his choice of a wife. 1 know not whether my very first counsel would not be, " Look out for one distinguished by her attention and sweetness to her parents. - ' The fund of worth and afl'ection indicated by such behavior, joined to the habits «f duty and con sideration thereby contracted, being transferred to the married state, will not fail to render her a mild and obliging companion.— Fordyce. Domestic Life.—Pleasure is to women, what the sun is to the flower; if moderately en joyed. it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves —if immoderately, it withers, it deteriorates and destroys. But the duties of domestic life, ex ercised as they must be in retirement, and call ing forth ail the sensibilities of the female, are perhaps as necessary to the full development of her charms, as shade and shadow are t© the rose, confirming its beauty, and increasing is fragrance. Col. Dvncax.—This gallant officer s origin I was very humble. His history is told as fol- j I '\vs by the New York Mirror, and it speaks well for the usefulness of our national military academy : Some years ago. a poor boy. of very hum t’eparentage.resided at Cold Spring. opposite West Point. Being employed in drawing wood to the Point with his father, his sprightli- i i new and intelligence attracted the attention of some of the officers and one day some one sa.d i i to him : "Jun. how would you like to be a cadet ?” •"I wouldhke it very much, sir. - replied the boy. •• And will you accept an appointment, if one can be chained for you ?” •• Yes, sir ;aud I will graduate at the head of my class. - * The appointment wu obtained and the promise was kept He did graduate at the head of his eiass. and his deeds since have con ferred honor upon the institution which should number among its members none but such as young Duncan, whose parrents are incapable of affording them the instruction which their tal ents entitle them to.” Major Whistler.— gentleman, formerly connected with the Western Railroad, and who, it will be remembered, received an appointment from the Emperor of Russia, to superintend the great Railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow, has been twice attacked with cholera and escaped, and on the 25th of November, the date of the last accounts from him, he was out of danger though very feeble. The cholera has been very fatal among the higher classes in St. Petersburg, and a large number of persons have died. The gentleman who communicated the above information to the New York Mirror, also says that the Emperor Nicholas had assembled an army of over 50 000 men in the environs of Warsaw, and large detachments were on the march from Russia to Poland. All the workmen lately under the the orders of Major Whistler on the line of the great Railroad, between St. Petersburg and Moscow, had been drafted in to the army, and the work is suspended. A ‘ notion seller’ was offering Yankee clocks, finely varnished and colored, with a looking glass in front to a lady not remarkable for per sonal beauty. “ Why its beautiful,” said the vender. “ Beautiful, indeed ! Why, a look at it almost frightens me,” said the lady. " Then, marm,” replied Jonathan, “I guess you’d better buy one that hasn’t got no looking glass It is curious, that on the Gila river in Califor nia, ancient ruins indicate the former existence of a civilized or semi-civilized population, as do the ruins on the Rio Puerco, in the \ alley of the Rio Grande.—And these facts bring to mind the more striking fact that the presence of the precious metals in those locations of the Russian Empire where they are now so abund antly found. though recorded by Herodotus, was lost sight of for two thousand years. — Ala. Jour. A Poor Endorser.—A. worthy but poor minister,’’ writes a friend from the country, “re quested a few days ago the loan of fifty dollars f rom the cashier of our bank ; and in the note requesting the favor, he said that if the cashier would oblige him, he would pay him in ten days, on the faith of Abraham.” The cashier return ed word "that by the rule of the bank the en dorser must reside in the State !”— Knick. Great Voyage.— The whale ship South A merica, Capt. Sowle, which arrived at New port on Friday, has been absent only about 2 years, during which time she has procured Jive thousand five hundred bbls, of oil. (200 sperm.) TheSouth America is a ship of 616 tous, and was formerly a New York and Liverpool packet. She sailed from Providence Nov. 7, 1846 Curious Fact in Physiology.—An English paper observes: ‘lt is a curious phenomenon, that nearly all the births in the animal world (at least in England in 1848.) are of male gen der. The register’s return shows a majority of male children in most districts; and among the cattle, sheep, &c., the farmers say there is little else but male produce.’ A new steam-carriage has been invented and tried upon the Great Western Railroad line, in which the locomotive engine, and a car capa ble of containing 60 or 70 passengers, rest up on the same foundation and form really but a single carriage. It is to be used on branch lines where but a few passengers are to be convey ed, not enough to sustain the expense of trains »f separate cars. The entire length of the carriage is 39 feet—its weight between nine and ten tons, and it has six wheels. It made from 35 to 40 miles per hour with ease. Time.—There is no such thing as time. It is but space occupied by incident. It is the same to eternity as matter is to infinite space— a portion of the immense occupied by some thing within the sphere of mortal sense. We ought not to calculate our age by the passing year, but by the passing of feelings and events. It is what we have done, and what we have suf fered, makes us old.— James. Remarkable Factiv Natural History.— The following account of a cross breed,between a stag and a mare, we find in alate London paper : “A hybrid filly, seven months old was found a short time since in the New Forest and is evidently of a mixed breed, between the horse and the deer. Her dam, a pony mare, was observed to associate with some red deer slags, in the New Forest, for some months, and at last this foal was seen by her side. The nose showed a proximity both to the stag and horse; her forehead is round like that of the deer: legs slender and distinctly double ; hoofs pointed and partly double, color brown, lighter under the belly, and tail like a deer. This extraordin ary animal is the property of T. G. Attwater. Dr. Fowler has inspected the hybrid, and is quite satisfied of the correctness of the pre ceding statement. Colonel Buckley, a keeper of the New Forest, has likewise seen the ani mal, and is of a similar opinion. United States Naval Officers engaged in the Mexican war.— The Secretary of the Navy has submitted a letter to the House of Representa tives. in answer to a resolution of tbe House relative to the number and places of birth of persons employed in the naval and marine ser vice on the Gulf and Pacific coasts during the Mexican war, from which we gather the follow ing particulars. The whole number of sea men composing crews of the vessels on the Gull’of Mexico andon the Pacific coast during the war was 7,000. The total number of offi cers was 836; of these were born in Virginia, 140, in New York 119, Pennsylvania 112, Ma ryland 71, Massachusetts 51, District of Colum bia 39.

The Mother’s Law—" Forsake not the law of thy mother,” is the text of a printed sermon that has been laid upon our table, preached by Rev. Chandler Robbins and occasioned by the recent death of the mother of the late Judge Story. It is an appropriate and beautiful dis course, as may be inferred from the following passages.— Raleigh Register. •‘lt is told to the honor of the great Lord Bacon that he felt he could never repay his obligations to her who had directed his studies as well as nourished his virtues ; that hedeligbt ed to speak ofher through life, and in his will left the injunction,‘Bury me in St. Michael’s church, lor there was my mother buried.’ "Let it also be told of the great American jurist, whose fame is pure and will be as endur ingasthatof England’s renowed Chancellor, that it was his request also that the remains of his mother should be lain close to his own at Mount Auburn, that their dust might mingle in the grave, whose hearts had been so tenderly united on earth, and whose spirits should be as one in heaven. "Happy mother who enjoyed the filial obe dience and abiding love ot suchasun? Happy son. who enjoyed the discipline and received the blessing of such a mother ! Like the good and the great of every age, he kept his mother's law and it led him to honor. She by her fidelity through the quiet years of his domestic educa tion, helped to Weave the crown of his mature and public life ; and he, by his manly virtues twined a perennial wreath to adorn her mem ory. The King of Bavaria has offered a prize ofa hundred ducats for the best essay on the sub ject. " By what means can the poverty of the lower orders of the inhabitants of Germany, and more especially of Bavaria, be must advan tageously and permanently relieved.” Virginia Coal.—ln a speech recently made in the Virginia legislature, in favor of a bill to incorporate the Virginia Coal Company, Mr. Faulkner of Berkeley stated that the coal fields of that State covered 21.000 square miles out of the total area of 64.000—an extent equal to that of England. Ireland Scotland and Wales com bined ! Cannel, or purely bituminous coal, abounded throughout the basin of the Kanawa, and was so accessible that a single hand could dig with ease two hundred bushels per dav. To Cook Rice.—Soak the rice in cold salt water for seven hours, then have ready a stew pan with boiling water, throw in the rice and let it boil briskly for ten minutes, then pour it ina cullender, cover it up hot by tbe file for a few minutes, and then serve. The grains are double the usual size, and quite distinct from each other. Spcrial Notices.

Asth ma, Spitting- of lilood, Wight Sweats, Husky Throat, Wasting of the Flesh, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and all Dieases of the Chest and Lungs. This celebrated preparation is pleasant to the ttfste, and is so speedy in its operations, that patients plain ly feel its good effects in a few minutes after taking the first dose. When Dr. Hastings had discovered the virtue of Naphtha four years ago, he announced it in a private ircular to a number of distinguished physicians in various parts of England, with a request that they would put its medical properties to the test, and re port accordingly. The result was a host of testimo nials of the most favorable character, nearly all of which agreed in certifying that no medicine they had ever used could bear any comparison with it in re lieving hacking coughs, curing Diarrhoea and stop ping night sweats. It was also generally remarkdU to have a wonderful effect in increasing the appetite, weight, and spirit of patients; and to be a powerfully efficient remedy in Billions and Asthmatic diseases. Os these testimonials, which were all published at the time, in the Medical Recorder, nine spoke of its ex traordinary influence in cases of Consumption—each corroborating Dr. Hastings’ opinion, that he hud actu ally discovered the great secret, so long and vainly sought for, namely, a preparation that would stop the formation of Turbercles on the lungs, remove those already formed, and thus cure the most fatal of all maladies, and which had previously been regarded as being altogether incurable. Dr. Williamson of Man chester thus writes- “Under its influence, I have seen the emaciated being, on whose brow Death had seemed to have set his seal, acquire invigoration and strength ; and ex change bis early mornings of intense suffering and distressing cough, for the calm repose which alone ac companies sound health.” Dr. Ware, of Liverpool, says:—“i regard Hast ngs’ Syrup of Naphtha as one of the first medical discoveries ol any age, and consider its agency in curing Consumption as established beyond all doubt or question.” Dr. Boyd of Lancaster, “Hails it as the great consumptive antidote and cure;” and Dr. Hamilton, of Rate, pronounces it “the only known remedy which may bo relied on for removing Tuber cules from the Lungs, and preventing the formation of others.” Hastings* Compound Syrup of Naphtha is now be ing used in nearly all our hospitals, and is also coming into rapid use among all our best physicians, for coughs, colds, and all diseases of the lungs. It has been recommended in the worst stage of consumption by the celebrated physician, Dr. Mutt, of New York; and Dr. Arnold, of Savannah, Ga., writing to the agent at New York, under date of Jan. 30, 1848, says: “I received the half-dozen Hustings’ Naphtha Syrup ordered from you, and am convinced that Naphtha is the principal ingredient. Inclosed is twenty-five dollars, for which you will send me two dozen and a half bottles. I have two patients in the Marine Hospital, whom I think will be benefited by it.” Price $1 per bottle.

STILL IMPROVING! WE STILL CONTINUE to manufacture Cotton Gins of the very finest order. For sev eral years past we have been able to sell all the fine Friction Roller Gins at S 3 per saw, which we could make, without the aid of a travelling agent. He have made the gins, and the gins, or rather the cot ton ginned by them have sold others as fast as we could make them. We have not been content in be ing able to sell, but it has been our aim to continue to improve. Each year the demand has increased, and as our fine gins have been used, we think we can af firm the planter has realized increased profits. It has been truly said that the finest article of cotton ever offered in the Savannah market has been raised in Hancock county. The crops of several individ uals have been esteemed of this character. Some have had offers for the entire crop, to be grown, at the highest prices, and in every instance our gins have been used to produce this fine article. When cotton is low J cent, per lb. in price tells in a moderate crop. We think we can safely affirm that in every instance where planters have managed their crops | neatly and ginned on our gins, they have received the very highest market value—in many instances | ct. over the highest market price. It has been said by some persons, interested in lessening the character of our gins, that they do not standi s high in Hancock county as they have done. Wes hould think this a great mistake, from the fact r i.a increased demand in the county. We know many opposed buying at first on account of the price, but we are assured from the increased sale and from gratuitous commendations of our gins, that the far mers are beginning to view it good economy to buy of us. We are also seldom able to sell a common gin, which we make as low as other gin-makers. Our last year’s gins have given even greater satisfaction than any we have ever made before. We will deliver to purchasers, at $3 per saw, our fine Friction-Roller Gins ; or common kind from 82 to 82.50, as in qual ity. All communications will be immediately an swered. G. T.

TO THE COTTON PLANTERS OF GEORGIA. r B'HE SUBSCRIBER continues to manufac jL lure his superior IMPROVED COTTON GINS, at his factory in Morgan county, on his usual exten rivescale. The liberal patronage he has received for be last few years has induced hirp this year to go to great additional expense in making preparations to fur nish the Planters with Gins far superior to any here tofore made. Those who wish it can have them with SUPERIOR WATER BOXES, which will prevent the possibility of their taking fire by friction. He also continues to use his OIL CUPS OR FEEDERS. which he was the first to introduce in this State, and which saves much trouble in oiling. The superiority of his Gins has been fully tested for the last few years in making fine cotton, and in ginning as fast ascould be reasonably required, the cotton from them bringing the highest price in all the markets ; and he trusts by unremitting attention to business, that he will contin ue to receive the liberal patronage of the cotton planters of this State, which it will be his highest ambition to merit. Contracts for his Gins may be made with his travelling agents, or by writing to him al Madison, where all orders will be promptly attended to, and his Gins are warranted to perform well in ail respects, if used according to the directions sent with each Gin, and will be delivered at the purchaser’s residence.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD. £jl RANAWAY from the subscriber, in Wil /O kinson co, Ga., on the night of the 7th January, inst., my negro boy, ARIN. Said boy is about liny years old, of dark mulatto color, six feet one inch high, high forehead, large temples, long hair when he left, almost all of his teeth out. and is stout built. Said negro had on, when he left, black sati net pants, home-made shoes, blue mixed home-spun frock coat, and old whitish wool hat. I have no doubt he is bending his way for Baltimore, as he crossed at Ball Ferry, on the Oconee, late on Sunday night. The above reward will be paid for his apprehension and delivery to me at my residence in Wilkinson county, or twenty-five dcllars for his safe lodgement in any jail so that I can get him. .
