THE SOUTHERN ECLECTIC.
PEOSPECTUS,
OX the flr?t flay of MAUCU, 13T3. the undersigned will
Issue the llr?t number of a Monthly Magazine, under
the title of “THK HOLTHERN ECLECTIC.” to ho com
posed, mainly, of eritU'ol Adsc.tionstr<>n\ the current Pe
riodical Literature of the United tilde*, Great Britain ,
Prance and Germany.
With this object in view, measures will he adopted to
secure for our use, the leading Reviews, Magazines and
Journals, published in this country uul in Europe. These
will be carefully examined, and such portions of their con
tents, as inay be best adapted to afford profitable enter
tainment to our readers, will be transferred to the pages
of the Eclectic.
Thu Foreign Periodicals will be sent to us by mail, di
rectly from their respect ice apices of publication; so
that iho articles we shall select from them will not only
he contributions from the most distinguished Authors of
Europe, but, reaching us without the dulays incident to
other modes of transmission, will be almost as f c*h as if
written expressly for oar work.
Extracts from the French ami German publications will
he translate I for the Eclectic by accomplished French aud
German scholars.
It will he readily admitted, we presume, that the above
class of Literature, when properly winnowed, embodies,
on the greatest varlsty of subjects, the select productions
of tho best writers of the age. From the ample resources
thus brought wlthtn our reach, we shall attempt to supply
a grswtng demand, on the part of a considerable portion of
the reading public, for a Periodical in which all subjects of
yeneral and permanent Interests shall be embraced, and
In which those subjects shall be discussed in a style and
spirit suited, not only to the AL/Aer InUHectwil tastes,
but also to the more Practical and Moral sentiments of
the people.
In our selections, therefore, from the various depart
ments of learning, those productions will be preferred
which most happily combine Practical instruction *nd
JStUUcal precept with the highest Literary excellence.
In relation to general Polities and Religion, we will en
deavor to lay before our readers such facts and such dis
cussions as will afford them juet nnd liberal views, without
reference to any particular creeds, parties or sects.
As there is no Eclectic, at this time, in the whole South
or South-west, and as it is our object, in part to supply
tlus deficiency, the advancement of Southern Agriculture,
Southern Literary Works, Southern Institutions, and Sou
thern Interests generally, will be kept in view as a pri
mary consideration.
A Condensed Monthly Review es Current Topics—Lite
rary, Political, Religious nnd Miscellaneous—will be added,
which we hope will complete our Eclectic as an epitome of
general intelligence.
It will be perceived that onr work is not intended, exclu
slvcly,for any particular class of readers, but more pro
perly for all reflecting readers of every class.
Ah inconsistent with our main desigu of general utility,
all dry abstractions, unfruitful speculations, professional
disquisitions, sickly sentimentalities, ns well as nil items of
merely transient or strictly local concern, will be excluded
from our columns.
Several persons of distinguished ability will aid us in our
effort* faithfully to carry out the views we have thus pre
sented; and which we now respectfully submit to iho con
sideration of the public.
As we desire to issue only so many copies as may be ne
cessary to meet the demand, we hope those who wish to
procure the work Lorn the beginning will subscribe with
out delay.
Specimen numbers will be scut gratuitously, when or
dered.
Postmasters, or any other responsible persons, who may
bo disposed to uct ns Agents for the Eclectic, will please
let us hear from them. Liberal commission will be allowed.
The usual discount wilt be made to BookscUe**.
Editors throughout the Southern and
States, who fd ay apew*theehteost«n4 plan
Pro«kN^^(culling attsntimY te Its more Important fea
tures send its copies of tne papers containing it,
will be cniilied to an exchange for one year. i
The Eclectic will be issued at Augusta, Cia., the first of <
every month, each number to contain eighty large octavo <
pages, In double columns, to be stitched, covered, and \
printed on good paper and new type.
TERM?.—For one copy, $3; for six copies, $lB. Allor
ders must bo accompanied by the cash. Arrangements
have already been made which will render th* publication 1
of the work certain. i

UoHeaded Tmriroreineni in Water Wheels.
Tnn flllflSCllfftnilß are sole agents for making and
vending the best W'atcr Wheel la the world, known as
Tandewalcr’s Water Wheel. We challenge the World to
produce Its equal. It has but recently been introduced to
the nubile, and found to be far in advance of all other
wheels, both in power and economy in water, ovory drop be
ing effective, aud none was tod. This Wheel is not in the
least affected by back water. As we prefer them being
placed below tall water in every instance, consequently we
get every inch of head; they being entirely of cast iron,
simple of construction, are not liable to get out of order,
and are more durable than any wheel now in use. We
hare recently nut one in operation for George Schley,
Brq., at hie Bolvule ootton factory, to whom wo would give
reference. See certificate annexed.
All orders fbr Wheels or Territorial Rights, will meet with
attention by addressing the subscribers.

Jagger, Treadwell k Perry—Gentlemenl have the
gratification of informing you that your Vandewater Wheel
was successfully put in operation at my factory Inst week,
and It worked to perfection. Its simplicity, durability, and
uniformity of speed, are recommendations alone; but above
all, Its highest encomium is the small quantity of water it
takos as compared with other wheels. I have been using
one cf Reuben Rich's Ceutre Vent Wheels, of three feet
and a half diameter, and eleven inch bucket, the discharge
openings measurtlfe 400 Inches. I displaced that and put
n one of yours of six feet diameter, with discharge open
ngs measuring 270 inches, and your wheel run the same
amount of machinery that the Rich Wheel had drh en, and
here was a difference »n favor of yours of eight inches in
he depth of water in tho tail race. I feel no hesitation in
ecommcndiag your wheel to all manufacturers aud mill
wuers, believing it is the greatest wheel of the age. Wish
og you success in tho introducton of so valuable an im

MM lIicWMT city of London, from ,
“In tl'o qnndrillo TV»«rilie moat fitmod nntnaf* i
ried bounty of England. Lady Clementina Viliier*, 1
dnagliter cf tlio Earl of Jorsoy. She has claxsi- 1
cally chisolled features, delicately pure complexion, t
large light eyes, and pretty brown hair, and l
what wo should deseribc, wilh our expressive i
Americatiiem, as exceedingly Intly: but 1 really <
remember to nave seen in Washington eoveral of i
my young countrywomen who might eafely con- 1
test with her the palm of beauty. Aa 1 have told 1
you, there are few pretty women ; but in caste of <
ieature, figure und carriage they aro vastly aapo
rior to Americans. Accustomed to tho dignified i
soberness of drem for middle age customary in i
my own country, tho gorgeous and inappropriate .
apparel ot tho old persons in a hall room here, ia 1
really painful. The toilots generally, though no rich i
in material, are so very dowdy, so badly nut on, i
that one wonders if tho rneo of Frenoli dressing I
maids is extinct. H'/iy, even her Majesty's gown
teas abominably laced , not meeting behind . In
grace, oppcoinlly in dancing, I think them not
comparable to Americans; they want tho litheness
and easo of movement almost universal with us ;
the gentlemen, indeed, dance better than thoir
partners, having a careless sort of swinging way.
which is rather attractive.”
Bs Comprehensive. —Talk to tho point, and stop
when you have reached it. Tho faculty thatfsoino
possess of making one idea cover a quiro of paper
ft not good for much. Be Bhort nrd comprehen
sive in ail yon say or write. To fill a volume upon
nothing is’no credit to any body ; though Lord
Chesterfieldwroto a very cleTor poem upon noth
ing. There aro men who get one idea into their
heads, and but one, and they make the most of it.
You oan eoe und almost feel it when in thoir pres
ence. On all occasions it is produced until it is
worn as thin ns charity. They remind mo of a
twenty-four pounder discharged at a humming
bird. You hear a tremendous noise : sees volurno
of flame; but you look in vain for the effects.—
Tho bird is scattered to atoms. Just so with the
idea ; it is enveloped in a cloud and lost amid the
rumbling of words and flourishes. Short letters,
sermons, speeches, snd paragraphs, are favorites
with us. Commend us to the young man who
wrote to His father, “Dear sir, flam going to be
married.” and also to the good old gentleman who
replied. “Dearson, goahead.” Such aro the men
for action. Thcv do more than they say. The
half is not told i’ll these cases. They are worth
their weight in gold for every pnrpoee in life.—
Leader bo short, and wo will stop short with the
advice.
A good story is told of on eccentric old gentle
man, who, although occasionally addicted to the
habit of swearing, was still puctillions in regard
to saving grace at ids table, and this duty he never
omitted oil any occasion. The story rnns that on a
certain occasion the old gentleman invited a sea
captain, a iqliy weather-beaten tar of his acquaint
ance, to dine with him. They sat down to dinner,
and tiie old gentleman, according to custom, com
menced saying grace; hut the captain, whoso
attention had bo n diverted for tho moment,
hearing the old gentleman speak, thought ho was
addressing him, and turned to him—
“ What did yon say, ’squire ?”
Why, d—n it, man, 1 am saying grace. r '
Washington Irving while at Mount Vernon the
other day, remarked that bo remembered seeing i
Gen. Washington in New York, when he was a
child five years of age, and while the General was
passing through the street, accompanied by a
crowd, young Irving was attended by his nurse,
an honest Scotchwoman. The woman foroed her
wav up to the Genera!, leading her child by the
hand, and, and approaching, addressed him—
*• Your honor, here is a bairu that is called atter
you.” The General pansed, and placing his hand
upon the boy’s head, gave him his blessing. Mr.
Irving states that ho has a distinct recollection of
the whole scene—which occurred in the year 1787.
A FArrnFTL Servant.—We heard yesterday of a
little incident which will go a* far to counteract
the baneful calumnies of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin”
as pages of declamation and argument.
A gentleman travelling down the Mississippi
not long since became acquainted on the boat with
a lady, who, with her six children, was on her way
to California. She had only one servant, a negro
man. who had gone to California alone, worked
hard, and sent one thousand dollars to his mistress,
to enable her and her little ones to come out to the
far-distant gold region. The fact speaks volumes.

Os Drrs os Parisian Fashions. —We see it
stated that some very radical innovations on pre
sent styles have recently been announced. The
principal change in gentlemen’s appsrcl is de
scribed as being a return to the short breeches,
long stockings, buckles, and other features of the
seventeenth ecntnrv. Gentlemen's full dress
coats are made with large sleeves at the wrist, like
the sleeves of ladies’ drosse*, nnd worn with nn
dersleevos puffed nt the wrist like those worn by
the ladies. Tne ladies of the Parisian court pow
dering their wigs, Jte., and so on.
Interesting to Hotel Keeper?.—An important
decision to hotel keepers was made at ti e Decem
ber term of the Supreme Judicial Court in Berk
i shire county. The"agent of the Berkshire TVooieu
Company came to Boston to attend a lawsuit for
the company, bringing with him some 25 witnes
ses, whose board he was to pay, and all put up at
the Mariboro Hotel ou the Ist Oct., theu kept by
N. S. Proctor. On the id or 8d of November, the
trunk of the agent was broken open and SSOO of
the money stolen therefrom, which he had to pay
the expenses of himself and his witnesses. The
I defendant proved that he bad a safe, and that his
guest ought to have deposited his money in it, or
' let him know that lie_had so much money with
! him: also that the agent was not a traveller, but a
J hoarder. Judge Fletcher ruled in substance, that
1 if tiie loss was produced by the carelessness of the
r agent, the hotel keep ere were not liable, and that a
: knowledge by the said agent of the custom to de
’ posit large sums in the sale, and his not complying
with it would amount to such carelessness, but
. that unless the hotel keepers could cieariy prove
such knowledge by said agent they roust be held
e liable, also that hotel keepers are Uab.e for the
1 safety of the goods and money of their guests.
J Judgment was accordingly rendered for the plain
“ tiffs.” This settles the law in this commonwealth.

AUGUSTA* GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1853.
Mr. Tlrknor’s Aceoun: of Mr. W ebster’s lari
I Day..
* The North American Review, for January, in a
notice ofa publication we have not seen, quotes an
account of Mr Webeter’s last days, differing in
■omc respects from several we have published. TH e
have felt that an artificial and unwarrantable in
terpretation has been given to tiie la»t words of
tha dying statesman—“ I still live,” —assigning to
them a meaning not congonial to the mingled ma
jesty and modesty of Webster's character. Mr.
Tieknor’s narrative—and it is that of one of Mr.
Webster’s life-long sud most faithful friends —
confirms this view, and aiso qualifies other expres
sions generally attributed to his friend in his last
hours.
“ The day when the preparation of the will was
completed—Thursday—was one in which Mr.
Webster bad attended to much pnbke business,
besides giving his usual careful directions about
everything touching his household and his large
estate. It was intended, therefore, to postpone
tho final signing and execution of that paper until
the next morning; more especially as h:s fornsons
were nnifoimly more comfortable than tho later
portiona of the day. But, in tho afternoon, his
complaint aa.-uined a new and more formidable
character. Blood was suddenly ejected from his
Stomach. The svmp’oms was decisive. lie fixed
an intensely scrutinizing look upon Dr. Jeffries—
his attending physician and personal friend —and
inquired what it was) He was answered that it
cuiiio from tho diseased part. 1 What is it ?’ ho re
peated, with the same piercing look, and then,
without waiting for a reply, added, ‘ That is the
enemy; if you can conquer that ’—lip .aafi. iaktf
- do must be done quickly.
“ He do'ermined, therefore, at once to execute
Ms will. It was mudo ready and brought to him.
Ho ascertained that its provisions and arrange
ments were entirely satisfactory to the persons
most interested in them, and then, having signed
it with a larger boldness and freedom in tho signa
ture than was common to him, he folded his hands
together, and said solemnly, ‘ I thank God for
strength to perform a sensi b'e act’ In a full voice,
and with a most reverential manner, he went on
and prayed aloud for some minutes, ending with
tho Lord’s Prayer, and the ascription, “ Aud now
unto God tiie Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, bo
praiso l'orover more. Peace on earth, and good
will toward men;’ after which, clasping his hands
together, as at firs t, he added, with great emphasis
—, That is tho happiness—tho essence —Good will
toward men.'
“ Muoh exhausted with the effect, ho desired ell
but Dr. Jeffries nnd a favorite colored nurse, who
had long been in his service, to leave the room,
that ho might rest. But, before ho slept, he said.
‘Doctor von look sober. You think I shall not bo
here in the morning. Bnt I shall. I shall greet
the morning light.’
“But when the noxt day—Saturday—came ho
felt ns he had never felt before. Ho "felt that it
was his last day. About 8 o’clock in the morning,
therefore, ho desired that all in the room should
leave it except Dr. Jeffries, who had been his phy
sician for a long period, and who had now been in
constant attendnneo on him, living in tho house
for above a week. During tho night Mr. Webster
ncrceivcd that he had grown weaker by excessive
loss of blood from his stomach. lie had just suf
fered afrcsli in the same way. But when ho was
certain that ha was alone with Ilia professional ad
viser, and that no loving ear would bo pained by i
what lie should say, he spoke in a clear and even
voice, hut with much solemnity of manner, nnd
said, ‘ Doctor you have carried me through the
night. I think you will get me through the day. i
I shall die to night.’ Tho faithful physician much
moved, paid after a pause. ‘ You are right sir.’
Mr. Wobsterthen went on : ‘I wish you there
fore, to send an express to Boston’ for some
younger person to be with you. I shall die to- i
night. You are exhausted, snd must ho relieved.
Who shall it he t’ Dr. Jeffries eiirrgcated a pro
fc»sional brother. Dr. J. Mason Warren, adding l
that ho was tiie son of an old and faithful friend i
of Mr. Webster. Mr. Webster, replied instantly, 1
‘ Let him he sent for.’
“Dr. Jeffries left tho room te prepare a note for
the purpose, and on returning, fonnd that Mr.
Wohster had mrdoall the arrangements necessa
ry for its despatch, having given mimito direc
tions who shonld go ; what horse and what vehi
cle he should use ; —what road he should follow;
where he shonld take a flesh relay ;—and how lio
should exeento his errand ou reaching tho city.—
lie also desired that provision should be made’ for
summoning some other professional friend, if Dr.
Warren could not bo found, or could not come ;
and on being to'd that this, too, had boon foreseen
and cared for, ho seemed much gratified, and paid
emphatically, ‘Right, right.’
“ During the whole course of his illness, Mr.
Webster never spoke of his disease or his suffer
ings, except in tho most general terms, or in order
to give information to his medical advisers; hut
it was plain to Dr. Jackson, who was twice called
in consultation ; to I)r. Warren, who was with
him during the last night of his life; and to Dr.
Jeffries, who was his constant attcudant from the
first, that ho noted and understood everything that
related to his condition nnd its successive changes.
His conversation on this, ns on all otlior subjects,
was perfectly easy and simple ; tho deep tones of
bis voice remained unchanged ; his gentleness was
uniform; and the expressions of his affection to
those who nppronchod him, and even to those who
were absent, but who wore carefully remembered
hy him in messages of kindness, were true, tea-,
derand faithful to the end. No complaint es
caped from him. nor tlici he eimgAh?
all that surrounded hilothcreamlraadnl j
Bnt his submission to the will of God was entire.
He said, on one occasion, ‘ I shall lie here pa
tiently until I die ; nnd he did so. But, through
thoso wearisomo days, ho preserved his natural
manner in everything and maintained, without
effort, those just and true relations between him
self and all persons, things and occurrences about
him which through lifo had mnrked him so strong
ly, and had given such dignity and power to his
character.
“ From the morning of Saturday, when he
had announced to his attendant—wliat nobody
until that timo had intimated—that ho ‘should
dio that night,’ tho whole strength of his facul
ties room to bo directed to obtain for him a plain
and clear perception of his passago onward to
another world, and of his feelings and condition at
the precise moment when ho should be entering
it* confines. Once, being faint, ho askod if he
were not then dying. And on being answered
that he was not, bnt that ho was near to death, he
replied simply, ‘ Wellas if the frank and exact
reply wore what he had desired to receive. A lit
tle later, when his kind physician repeated to him
tliat striking text of Scripture,—‘ Yea, though I
walk through the valley of tho shadow of death.
1 will fear no evil, for thou art with mo; t!> t v rod
and thy staff, they comfort me;” —he seemed less
satisfied, and said, ‘ Yesbut the fact, tho fact 1
want;’ —desiring to know if he were to regard
thoso words as on intimation, that he was already
within tho dark va loy. On another occasion he
Inquired whether it were likely that ho shonld
again eject blood from his stomach before death,
and being told that it was improbable, he asked,
‘ Then what shall yon doßeing answered that
ho would bo supported by stimulant*, aud render
ed as easy as possible by the opiates that had suit
ed him so well, he inquired, at once, if the stimu
lant shonld not be given immediately; anxious
again to know if the hand of death were not al
readv upon him. And on being told that it would
not then bo given, he replied, ‘ When yon give it
to me, I shall know that I may drop off at once.’
“ Being satisfied on this point, nnd that ho
should, therefore, have a final warning, ho said, a
moment afterwards, ‘ I will, then, put myself in a
position to obtain a little repose.’ In tins he was
successful.—He had intervals of re«t to tho last;
bnt on rousing from them, ho showed tha’ he was
still intensely anxions to preserve his conscious
ness, snd to watch for the moment and act of his
departure, so as to comprehend it. Awaking from
one of these slumbers, late in the night-, ho asked
distinctly if he wore alive, and on being assured
that ho was, and that his family was oollcoted
around his bed, he said, in a perfectly natural
tone, as if assenting to what had been told him,
because he himself perceived that it was true, 1 1
still live.’ These were his last coherent and intel
ligible words. At twenty-three minntes before
three o’clock, without s strugglo or a groan, all
signs of lifo ceased to be visible; his vital organs
giving awav at last so slowly and gradually as to
indicate,—what every thing dnrrog his illness had
already eliown,—tha’t his intellectual and moral
faculties still maintained an extraordinary mastery
amidst the failing resources of his physical consti
tution.”
Report of the Macon and Western Railroad.
We are in receipt of tho annual reports of the
President and Superintendent, and tho statement
I of the Treasurer, of tho Macon and Western Rail
road to tho stockholders. They present a gratify
ing exhibit of the operations of the Road, for the
past year, and reflect much credit upon its general
management.
We learn from tho report of President Scott,
that the earnings of the road for the past year have
been $269,956 93, and the expenses chargeable to
tho earae, $116,358 74—leaving net $153,697 19.
If to this be added the amount at credit of profit
and loss per last report, proceeds of old iron, and
bonds issued since last report, wo have the sum of
$238,221 10. Out of this the following disburse
ments have been made—to wit:
Paid dividends Nos. 11 snd 12 in February
and August last $97,120 00
Interest on Bonds 10,780 00
State and City Tax 8,815 75
Paid for construction, new Engines, Cars, Ac. 49,425 82
Bends redeemed and cancelled 6,000 00
$165,641 67
Leaving a balance in hand of $72,579 58 to be
appropriated to dividend and reserved fund.
There was a decrease in passenger earnings, as
compared with the year 1851, of lb}4 per cent.,
and an increase oi freight earnings es 72 per cent.
The aggregate increaso of earnings was 87>£ per
cent., which, on the whole, is a satisfactory result,
as the Superintendent, Mr. Foote, remarks. He
entertains a confident belief, that this increase will
be continued.
Tbs expenses of operating the read have been
about 11 per cent, more than for the previous year.
This is partly accounted for by the greater amount
of fuel and material for repairs of road purchased
during the year, and now’ on hand. The whole
expenditure for the year is about 43 per cent, of
the gross earning*.
The cost of new engine, new depots, machine
shops, freight cars, Ac., will involve an outlay of
about seventy-five thousand dollars, a large por
tion ot which will he required during the present
rear. Whon theso are made, the President says,
“ the road will be complete iu all it* department*,
and no lnrther outlay will ever be required; and
as the increasing business and profit* of the road
are amply sufficient to warrant it, he_ recommend*
an increase of capital stock for this. 1
Tho Board in January la*t, authorized the issue

Elise was oißing HrVJsSjCC pcd jp hy pillows,
when her mother entered. If yonth, grace and
beanty eould bribe the or turn aside his
unerring aim, then had shj been spared. Her
cheek was marble pale, and ratted wearily on one j
little hand: tho eyes wtre ctyseas if sleeping,
and from tho other hand a lew choioo flowtrs had ,
escaped, and lay scattered ntbn the snowy conn- ,
terpsne.
“Oh! is that you, mamal- I hopo you have

awfully pale.”
“Net now,” said the frightened mother, jou
aietoo weary. Wait till you havo had some re
freshments ;” and the pale leanty sank back on
her pillow, crushing a wreath b! dark ringlets, and
closing her eyes wearily, in sjite of her determi
nation to be well.
A ring at the door! (a bright flush came to her
cheek.) “That’s Vivian, inagia. Toll him—tell

range her hair.
“ Softly—softly, Jeannet! rat head isn’t quito

the skilful French woman bound tress after tress
in glossy braids around her well-formed head.
“ Now plaoo that pearl spray a little to tho loft,

“ Here, Jeannet!” and she extended the dainty
foot for its silken hose and satin slipper.
“ Rost awhile now, Eliso,” said her mother, as
she looked apprehensively st the bright orimson

and upon her fair arm placed his gift, »nd tsking
in her hsnd tho rich boqnet, every flowlr of which
whispered hope to her young heart, sip hold up
her cheek with a bewitching smilo, am., said—
“ Now kiss me, mama, and say Uat yon are

Important Decision in a Slat* Case.— An inter- ,
eating slave caso he* just boon deeidod by the Ky.
Court of Appeals, involving & question which the \
Court declared to be entirely new in legal point ,
of view. It appears that a Mrs. Trigg, owning a ,
slave woman named Clarissa, sent her with a rela
tive of hers, a Mrs. Alexander, tc Philadelphia,
in the year 1888, to attend on her while the latter
was undergoing medical treatment for defective
sight. Previously to sending her, Mrs. T. in- '
quired as to the laws of Pennsylvania regarding
slaves, and learned that if the slave remained <
there longer than six months, she would be free; i
(this was before the repeal in 1947, of the six I
months proviso, in the act of 17S0;) but believing j
in the faithfulness of Clarissa, she sent her to ’
Philadelphia, where she remained more than six t
months, and then went back voluntarily to her
mistress. Clarissa, by the wish and will of her i
deceased master, was to bo freed at the death of l
her mistress; but the latter becoming involved in
debt, sold her to a female, who was subsequently i
her executrix, and who retained the former in ■
slavery contrary to the wish of Mrs. Trigg, who i
had desired her to be set free. The Court of .
Appeals set Clarissa free, and decided that the i
oondition of freedom follows a person to his or i
her homo, where it has resulted, as in Clarissa’s i
case from th* slavo remaining, % -tfcejdi root ion of
an owner, in another State, for a longer period i
than the laws of that State permit. 1
A similar declaration was lately given by the
Supreme Court of Louisians, by which Lucy i
Brown, a slave of Gen. Persifer F. Smith, ob- ]
tained her freedom. Lucy was, in 1823, the slave I
of Elijah Mix, of the District of Columbia, who,
duringthat year, removed to New Turk, and re
mained there till 1825, then returned to George -
town, and in 1822 again took up his residence in
New York. Lucy aocompaniea the family, as a
slave, in their several removals, and in 1833 was
in the service of Dr. Wells, U. S. Army, stationed
at New Orleans. She waa next sold to S. T. Taylor,
from whom she was purchased by Gen. Smith.
The decision of the court was, that inasmuch as
she resided over nine months in New York where
tho law, at that time, gave freedom to a slave re
siding there for that length of time, she was en
titled to her freedem.
Norwegian Leprosy.—A letter appears in the
Milwankie Sentinel, signed “ A Norwegian,” con
tradicting the statements of an article which has
recently been going the rounds of the press, on
leprosy in Norway. Tho Norwegian emigrants in
Milwankie held a meeting to disenas the subject,
at which it was unanimously declared that said
disease is fonnd only in the eitv of Bergen and
vicinity, the only place where hospitals for this
sickness sre erected, and not in the greater portion
of the Western Coast, as set forth by the reporter.
Most of the Norwegians, on inquiry, at this meet
ing, stated that they never had seen any leper* in
their life, and only a few, who had visited Bergen,
happened to see some* of the scrofulous indivi
duals. It was also asserted, by those informed on
the snhjeot, that there are no familiea afflicted with
this disease, but those living on the ties, earning
their bread by fishing, which many hundreds of
poor families in that part of the country ore obliged
to do, generation after generation, andwhoseprin
cipal food is fish, with little or no variety, which
is well known to bethe sole cause ofthedisease. As
tbe affliction is by no means contagious, but, like
other disease of the blood, becomes hereditary,
but is curable by change of food and mode of liv
ing, it may be ascribed to the simplicity of those
of ancient time, that this sickness in Norway has
received the name of leprosy. It was farther con
cluded that the publishing of the letter referred
to is not quite free from the appearance of an in
tention on the part of the Norwegian Government
to throw another obstruction or impediment in
the way of the poor emigrant. — Mobile Adcer

A Co., Booksellers; andC. Mallet, doalcr in Cigars
and Tobacco, Union street. It is not ascertained
in which of the stores the fire originated, but it is
supposed, in cither Kent’s or AVaterfield’s. Tho
buildings were worth about twenty thousand dol
lars, and were insured for ten thousand dollars—
eight thousand dollars in tho Nashville Agency of '
the Commercial Insurance Company of Charleston,
and two thousand dollars iu tho United Firemen’s
Insurance office of this oity. Mr. A. B. Robertson

Mr. Kent was insured for five thousand dollars
—tweuty-five hundred doilarn in tho Hartford
AStna ngonoy (Nash’s) of this city, and twenty-five
hundred dollars in Cincinnati. Stock valued at
seven thousand dollars. Loss, neatly allhis stook.
Walerfteld A Walker were insured for fourteen
thousand dollars—three thousand dollars in Whc
less’ agency of tho Memphis Insurance office, nnd
one thousand dollars in tho Mutual Insurance
office of this city. Stock valued at six thousand
dollars, nearly all of wbioh was lost.
Tho Messrs. Fit* were insured for ten thousand
dollars—flvo thousand dollars in the American In
surance Company of Philadelphia, nnd flvo tnou
saud dollars in the Mutual Insurance offieoof this
city. Their stock was worth, nt the timo the lire
occurred, about six thousand dollars—thoir loss
will ho covered by one thousand dollars.
The loss of Messrs. John York A Co., is very
smnll. Tlioy removed all of their stock before
their store took fire, and consequently saved it
without damage. It has been put up again on
Union street, atthco'd stand oftlio Railroad store.
Mr. C. G. Mallet was insured for ono thousand
five hundred dollars. II« places his loss down at
ono thousand seven hundred dollars.
Fall A Cunningham, next door to A. B. Robert
son, had their stock damaged to tiie amount of
four hundred dollars by wator. They made a do
nation of tho damages (ono hundred dollars apiece)
to the four fire companies.
The Union Bank also presented caoh of the fire
companies with ono hundred dollars.
Whilst this fire was in progress, at about 5
o’clock, the grocery store of J. C. French A Co.,
on Market Street, between Church and Broad
streets, also took fire, and was burned together
with the greater portion of tho stock of Groceries,
Ae., in stoic. They wore insured for eight thous
and dollars—four thousand dollars in Wireless’
ngenoy of tho Memphis Insurance company, and
four thousand dollars in Nash’s agency of the
Hartford ffatna Insurance Ooinpanv.
The building was owned by Ruffnor, Donaliy A
Co., Kanawha, Va., and wo believe, was not insur

The Kanawha Salt Warehouse (M. S. Pilcher,

D. States and Gbeat Britain.— The New York
Courier of Wednesday morning says:
We learn by telegraph from our Washington
correspondent “ Inspector” that tho despatches
received by the Africa confirm our information,
that the British Government has adopted the pro
ject of a treaty which was forwarded l n December.
The negotiations will probably bo concluded in
the course of a fortnight.
The provision in regard to Provincial vessels will
enable them to take out registers only in caso of a
bona fide sale.
The mutual claims to be settled by joint commis
sion arc of three classes : first, those of Atnericau
vessels seized, detained and searched on tho coast
ol Africa by British cruisers : 'second, those of
American fishing vessels seized, detainnd or con
fiscated by the British authorities; Mna third, those
of British subjects for duties illegally exacted and
seizures mado in California.
The subject excites the greatest interest in Wash
ington, and the probabilities of the ratification of
the treaty are freely canvassed. The privileges pro
posed to be extended to provincial vessels' create
much unfavorable feeling, and they will be op
posed by the entire New England shipping in
terest.
Generous and Judicious. —The editor of the
N. Y. Recorder, has been commissioned by a
wealthy Brooklyn citizen to purchase a copy of
Lord Kingsborough’s great work on Mexico, for
tho library of tho Rochester University. The
work is in nine large folio volumes, printed and
bound in the best style of art. It contains nearly
all the Mexican picture writing extant, with are
print of all the curly treaties on the subject of
Mexican antiquities to be found in the great libra
ries of Europe, with superb drawings of the remains
of Aztec architecture, both secular and religions.
This work is probable the greatest ever published
bv private munificence, costing Lord K. some
thing like 150,000 to issue it. It ovcrwhclmned
him in debt, and caused him to die a bankrupt in
prison. _
Coition Destroyed.—Wo regret to iearn that
forty-seven bales of cotton, belonging to Mr. Ste
phen Deßruhl, and thirty one of Dr. A. W.
Linch’s, were burned up last week, at Calhoun's
landing, on the Savannah river. If burnt, it was
certainly the work of an incendiary. It is supposed
by some that this cotton mast have been stolen,
as there were other lots immediately contiguous
not even scorched. There were signs, however,
ofsomc cotton having been burned. Mr. De-
Bruhl lias recently settled in this District, and tho
loss fails particularly heavy upon him. —AbbetUle

A New Freight Proposition.— Efforts are being
made by Capt. Jus. W illiams to effect a new route
for freight from Baltimore to any part of East Ten
nessee, by which the rates will be from 25 to 50
per cent cheaper than by the w ay of Charleston or
Savannah. It will come by the way of Wheeling
and Nashville or Wheeling and Tnscumbia, just
as the buyer may desire. The arrangement is not
yet fully completed, but under way, and will soon
he ready, we trust, to demonstrate tor itself its su
periority over the other routes. East Tennessee
is mach indebted to Capt. Williams for the favora
ble enterprises which have, from time to time,
been made, and which have added much to her
prosperity. If freight can be delivered at any point
on the Tennessee river from Bal'imore, with rates
from 25 to 60 per cent less, it is an important con
sideration, and must turn the trade into another
channel. Information will be given in due time,
if the proposed route besncceasfuily established.—

“ Remember the Sabbath day to keep it hoty."
Blessed the Law which from its restless self,

In this wild strife for f*me or power or pelf,
_ No time for joy or duty here below ;
No time the big drop) from its wrinkled brow
To wipe, an»l look up to the pitying sky.
Bondmen of life, whose king is care, men bow
HTheir burth’d bocks, n*r pause a prayer to sigh;
But, tottering onward, toil—and, ever toiling, die!
The stars outwatcliing, o'er their vigils bend
The statesman painful nnd the student pale;
Ami gainful hours to traffic's toilsman lend
The sallow colors of his golden Baal;
And labor sways the sledge ami swings the flail;
Toil and still toil; health, sport and love forgot!
Till brain and braio, till soul and sinew fail.
Os all life's waste, its God would otvn no spot,
But that His Sabbath saith: Ye weary, labor net t
Smiled not God’s Sabbath on life's endless storm,
Our race would roughen, under sordid care,
Til] Yonth forgot its cheer, and love its charm f
And man lost all of gentle and of fair,
Left, by neglected Heaven, to dark despair.
But beams the holy day! No! loosely spent,
Not lost in idleness, but devote to prayer—
To lofty lore, to love and sweet content:
The poace and joy of Heaven awhile to Earth are lent.
Freedom, the boast of many a sordid slave.
Whose heavy fetters clank around his sou!;
Freedom, that dwells with but the pure amt brave,
And spurns the bondman who brooks sin’s control;
Nor ever did nor will her flag unroll
Above the land whose Sabbaths are defiled:
Where Sunday jugglers trick, and minstrels troll,
And idle fools are hy worse fools beguiled :
Not there she bides; but seeks her Sabbath in the wild.
Lo now! This happy Sabbath sun shines forth, ’
And the worn world shakes off its lumbering care;

And alt is calm and soft, and bright and fair.

The blessed Sabbath—praise be unto God—ls hero I
Afar, o'er hill and Talley, stream and e’en,
The ancient church-bell's peal is blythfly tost;
Now, cn the fresh breeze, checrly heard, and then,
In the quick quivering of the green leaves, lost.
Prompt at the summons, mores the strangling host:
Tho youths clear fence and Held with frolic bound ;
The ruddy maids, their prudent mothers’ boast,
Demurely step, sly stealing glance around,
Nor leave the branchy path that thrids the burial ground.
Around the low-brow porch, they pause awhile,
Beneath the elm that towers above the dome;
Exchanging, gravely, greeting without guile,
They learn the welfare of each honest home.
But soon the Imm is hushed : the l’astor come.
Advancing slow, their toil-bronz’d brows they bend;
And, kneeling as he opes tho sacred tome,
Their gushing hearts and blended tones ascend
In prayer and praise to God, their father and their friend.
Happy that hand, radiant and devout!
The dusky artisan whose brow, now bright.
Expands with love and joy ; the yeoman stout,
Whose harvests are the bounty of God's might;
Matron and maiden, old and young, unite
Heart-offerings to God's low-roof'd house to bring,
Prom which the intruding oaks exclude the light,
White to the organ notes the glad birds sing :
Yet God is there, and 'tis the palace of Heaven's King!
What, without that which sanctifies the lowly,
The temple’s glory or cathedral pride *
Than conquerors’ triumphs higher and more holy
The Joys that with the Cotters’ Sabbath bide.
The Lord’s day past, how swoet, at eventide,
His blessed sleep whose service has been blest I
So may we live in Him who for us died,
That life may, like a Sabbath, bo possest;
And death Heaven’s Subbath give of rapture and of rest r

to the Governor-General of New South Wales and
the Lieutenant Governor of Victoria, authorizing

A Fact Aoainst an Assumption.—lt is known
to our readers that a bill has passed tlio Senate,
and is now before the House of Representatives,
providing a partial indemnity to thoso citizens
whose property was seized and confiscated by tho
French Government prior to tho year 1800, and
whose consequent claims for indemnity against
France were subsequently negotiated away by our
Government for a valuable national consideration.
Wo observe, in a letter from this city to a South
ern paper, an opinion expressed that tho bill will
not pass the House, for the reason, alleged by its
opponent, “ that at this late day most of the
claims to be provided for under it are in tho hands
of parties other than the oiiginal claimants, whose
necessities iiavo forced them to part witli their
c.airns in many casos for almost a song.”
This is not a new objection. It has been for
many years employed by tho opponents of indem
nity against the passage of any act for the relief of
the sutforers. How the ease may bo wo cannot un
dertake to say; but even it were a valid objection,
which we certainly do not admit, we have reason
to believe that the number of eases sold or trans
ferred is far less than in alleged. Tho only two of
which we have personal knowlege (and it is mere
ly to mention them as of some weight in the scale
that we took up tlio pon) are in the families of the
original claimants; one is that of a widow and
her fatherless children; the other that of ohildren
who are both fatherless and motherless. Wc leave
it for others to say whether tho ancient claims
against tho Government are, in general, thought
highly enough of to commaud many purchasers
at any rato of discount.— l Vat. Intel.

extract from bis speech!
“ The peculiar danger of intoxicating drinks in

unconquerable strength of tho drinking habit
when once formed ; and thoir poeullar malignity
is in thoir being the parent or nurso of overy kind
of crime, wiclreduoss, and suffering.
“ I say boldlv thnt no man living who uses in

occasional, ultimately of habitual excess. I havo

Wreckers at Key West.
Tho followinfr skoteh, by the correspondent of
tlio Savannah Ouurier, of tlio wrecking business
nt Key West, verities tho old sdsgo that “itis an
ill wind that blows nobody good.”
Key West, Jan. 22, 1858.
Mr. Editor:—The wrecking season has set in
and ships, brigs and schooners with thoir rioh car
goes are being brought down daily from tho reef
by tho hardy wrecker, and wo are beginning to
reap tho benefit of thoir arrival by increased busi
ness and an unusual aotivity in every lino of pur
suit.
l’hc lawyer lias the salvngo ease to present to
tlio judge and a good round sum is his fee. Ho in
all cases receives tho sura of sl7 for lllling the libel,
and then tliroo per cont. on ovory dollur of salvage
docrcod by tho judge. 11l cases involving largo
amounts of property as high as SBOO falls to his
share of tho tortek.
Tlio Commission Morcbant or Ships Cotisignoo
lias many competitors in tlio tlold. 110 has friends
oil tho wrecking vessels and tlio first boarder of
the stranded ship prosents to tho master tlio claims
of his merchants, and receives for his zeal a hand
some roward if ho secures tlio consignment. The
rates of wharfago and storage on a halo of Cotton
are sl. Tlio commission allowod for rccoiviug
and disbursing money on account of vessel and
cargo is 5 per cent., and when tlio same is re-ship
ped or forwarded in the same vosjel % per cent on
the valuation of the cargo is always rulcabio. So
the stnfo tor these Jot picking* sometimes rages
high, even to a fighting pitch.
Tho consignment of a ship now nshoro on tho
reef will pay the Consignee ovor SB,OOO.
Tho Clerk of tho Admirably Court also gots his
fees, which aro largo when salvage is groat—lie re
ceiving as much as tho lawyer. Tho District At
torney gets a fee. Tho United States Marshal, if
cargo is sold, gets liis per centngo, and tho me
ohanio is paid well for hia work, and the laborers
get s2por day ior storing tho cargo. All classes
of otir population aro directly or indirectly benoftt
od by tho wrocka; and whon nows arrives intown
t hat a ship is ashore you will see more happy faces
than in Wall street 'whom tho Fanoios nave ad

wore prcflSfcd bv a fumbling noise. The first
tumbled dTwTfc’OOks from tho tnonntSiTiS, v threw
down the oliii's and the banks of tho rivor. Part
of Chimney Poalt fell, and a dark cloud of dust on
each side was taken for a volcano hy some. Soon
after tho first shock 1 was looking towards tho
southwest, and observed a hoavy column of steam
rise to a great lioijht and spread out into a olond.
Two oilier jets rose at short intervals odor. Tlio
earth back of tho hill on which wo are located, is
broken into crevices, from which issued mud,
sand, and sulphurous water. Tho water in the
river rose with a swell near a foot, and subsided
ill a few hours. Tho velocity of tlio current was
much increased, and evon tlio bod of tlio stream
appears to liavo normanently subsided. You know,
perhaps, that wo have some timid pooplo lioro, and
they were terribly frightened. Tlio sentinels aban
doned their posts slid fled to the guard tents. How
thoy expected to bo benefited, or wliut they fesrod,
I cannot inuigitio. Thorc is very little dangor, evon
should our brush houses fall. The hill on which
we aro located is cracked off, but I do not think
there is much danger ot its sinking or rolling over.
The .‘Si t shock was so severe it stoppod my clock,
end threw down tho books from thoir shelves.—
Thoro is some difference of opinion as to the direc
tion from which the shocks came. If those jets of
steam rose from tho centre, it must havo been from
the southwest.”

Mrs. Morgan was a notnblo woman, nnd loved

iho occasion was ono day when Jintmv come

Mrs. Morgan did not often get roused, but she
was now. She put her arms akimbo and a in. we red:
“ Mot a mournful of dinner do you get in this
house to-day, nor any other day, till you <ome
homo sober. 8o the sooner vou'ro off the better.”

Os oourso Jio went straight to tho tavern, m m
Morgan rather oxpoctod he would. And of e> hs W
when night came, ho was led homo ’ int *

lie hud just sufficient reason loti to w- idtr at
tho extraordinary care with which his wife, » Wet
assisting to undroes him, tnoked him in bed, but
this, like everything else, was boon forgotten .11 a

And at last tlio proceeding was completed. 7 A ml
