Marro Beutris.
Marco BozzariMhc Greek hero, fell in a nißht
attack upon the Turkish Camp at the site
of the ancient Pat tea, August. 2D, 1823, and expired
in the moment of victory. His last word* were—
“To die for liberty L* a pleasure, not a pain.’* If
our countryman, Filxgretn Haiieck, mid never
written anything else, hi* description of the death
of the Suliote Cinef would have immortalized him.
At midnight, in his guar, ed tent,
Tne Turk w<*s dreaming of the hour,
When Greece, her knee in suppiiance bent,
fchooM tremble at his power;
in creams, through camp and court, he bore
The tr- phiea of a conqueror;
In dreams, his song of triumph heard;
Then wore his monarch’s dene* ring,—
Then press'd that monarch’s throne,—a king;
As wild his t'-oughts and gay of wing,
As Eden’s garden bird.
An hour pass* d on, —the Turk awoke;
That bright dream was bis last;
He woke—to bear his sentry shriek.
To arms! theyeome! the Greek! the Greek!
He woke—to die—midst flame and smoke.
And about, and groan, and sabre stroke,
An 1 deiththots falling thick and fast
A'•lightning from the mountain cloud:
And bca'd, with voice as trumpet loud,
Bozsaries cheer hii band.
“ i*tnke -til the 1 ist armed foe expires,
Strike—for y ur Altars and your fires.
Strike—for the green graves of your sires,
God—and your native land.”
They fought—like brave men long and well
They piled that ground with Moslem slain,
Th*y conquered—but bozzsris fell,
Bleeding at every vein.
His few surviving comrades saw
His smile, when rang their proud—“ hurrah,”
And the red field was won ;
Then saw in death his eyelids close,
Calmly as the night’s repose,
Like flowers at the set of tun.
Come to the bridal chamber. Death ?
Come to the mother when she feels, w ■^' r '
For the first time, her first-born’s breath:
Come when the ble*sed seals,
Which close pestilence are broke,
And crowded cities wail its stroke;
Come in consumption's i hastly form.
The earthquake shock, the rce«n storm;
Come when the heart beats high and warm,
Wi«b banquet song and dance and wine,
And thou art terrible : the tear,
The groan, the knell, the pall, the Ider,
And all we know, or dream, or fear
Os Agony are thine.
But to the hero, when his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Thy voice sounds like a j rophet's word,
And in its hollow tones arehe Ard
The tha iks of millions yet to be.
Bozzsris! with th#* storied brave
Greece nurtured in her glory’s time,
Rest t Lee—tber; is no prouder grave,
Even in her own proed clime.
We tell thy doom * ithout a sigh;
Por thou ait Freedom’ now, and Fame’s—
One of the few, the imm rtal names,
That were not born to die.
THINGB THAT I LOVE.
bt w. znoia PABoa.
I love to sit on ocean's shore,
And listen to its tempest roar.
And watch the waves as high they soar.
I love to listen to the breese,
And note the murmuring of the bees
Beneath the' nobla forest trees.
I love, upon a mountain's height
To stand, and with supreme delight.
Gaze on the outstretched, magic sight.
I love to look, when in the west
The son Is sinking to its rest,
To see It tinge the mountain crest,
rlove to gaze upon the sky
When stars shine out with brilliancy,
And with calm Luna 'tempt to vie.
Ilove tolistentothelay
Os the sweat lark, when, far away,
It greets the oomtng-in ot day.
I love! ab! how I love to rove
In some sweet honey-suckled grove,
And whisper in Asc eats—of love.
I love to hear the bugle-horn,
That far upon the bret se is borne,
On some calm, stilly summer morn.
I love to watch the little rill
That calm meanders on, until
It a broad river’s bed doth fill.
I love the heavens, the earth, the air;
Parents, brother and sister dear.
Whose smile my checkered path (loth cheer.
These things I love, and more beside,
That live and move in this world wide;
I love them all with yonthlul pride.

Story of • Spartan (.ante Cork.
Some peoplo, says the Albuny Knickerbocker,
roap as much delight from the commission of a
malicious act us others do from doing good ana
dispensing bonevolonco. This was exemplified
tho other night under the following circum
stances :
There is nman living in Kcrisseluer street who
devotes a great deal of attention to raising chick
ens. He is tvhat sporting men call a “bird fan
cier.’’ llis yurd is full of handsome birds of this
description—all well fed, in good trim, and ready
to bo sold or matched for a prize-fight with any
one who has the temerity to question their supe
rior pluck and pugalism. Some ecump, who hes
itated not to gratify bis own depraved disposition
at another’s expense, tho other night, at a late hour,
when every one about tho neighborhood was
fast asleep, paid our friend’s yard a visit, and put
a largo floroe-visoged owl over among tho fowls.
This was indeed afoul game; for no sooner had
tho voracious votaiyof the night alighted in the
midst of tho innocent poultry than ho commenced
lus onslnght with foarful rapaeity, till all but one
had suffered death. That one was a veteran—the
victor of seven Bharply contested battles. He
had looked unmoved upon the elaughtor of his
brethren, but he was resol vod to try the odds of
deadly game, and sell his heart’s best blood,
drop by drop, at the dearest retail price. The owl,
sated with the gore he had shed, turned his full
gaze upon the lust occupant of the eoop. There
ho stood, erect and stern, propured to meet the
onset of his too. The owl was loth to try the
issue; yet,after a calm survoy of all—hmown ad
vantage, and inepired by the red victories so re
ciontly wou—ho rushed upon tho veteran; but the
old fellow “ was there,” aud met him at the jump.
Now stoops that sharp, sot heud—that has often re
ceived soro piercings aforetime, now fringes up the
golden collar, whoso fleecy feathers have been so
often stained with blood. The little eye of ohan
tioloer looks into tho big round moons of the owl,
and is lost in its cold, stark stare, like one who
looks into the bosom of the sen by moonlight.
Yet soon tho flap of wings is hoard—the owl is
down, andlo! before his unwidely bulk is right
ed, tho Spartan game cock skips fair over his head.
The owl sinks to the earth—that skip was never
known to miss—the spur weut through his head.
Tho bird still lives, but ho enters the arena no
more. Tho remainder of his days, his owner says
shall bo spent in peace and plenty. He has (ought
his last buttle.
A Free Fight. —The fallowing is a description
of a free fight in Western Virginia, as rolaled by
one of the eye-witnesses thereof. Premising that
there was batons struck, in answer to an Interroga
tory as to whom he was, the narator replies:
“ I reckon he was from low down on Gayan,
somewhur. Jos a- they war jawiu, a ohap rode np
on a clay-bank hoss—l rockin lie waas Meesinger
stock, a scrowin anemii, a leetle might blind
o’both eyes—a peert looking ohap onough. an’
whin he got feruent the place, ses he, ‘ls this a
free fight r an’ they tole him it wor. 1 Well,’ savs
he, guttin oil' and hitching his old clay bank
to a swining limb, ‘count me ini’ He hadn’t
rnore’n got it out, afore some one fetched him a
lick, an’ ho drapt. Ho riz dirockly with some dif
flohulty, an' ses he, ‘ Is tiiis a froo fight P an’ they
saiditarr. ‘Well,’ says he, nuhitoninghis boss,
and puttin his left log over tho black leather,
‘count mo outs an’ then ho marveled.”
Nicknames are vory expressive. Who ever
knew apersontobedubbed ‘-Uncle Ben,” “Uncle
Tom,” or “Uncle Bill,” without finding the said
Uncle Bon, Tom and Bill, the vory personifications
of good nature and neigei orhood kindness! A
person nicknamed “Uncle” oould not help being
kindjit ho tried. “ Uncles” take strongly to chil
dren, and will “ play horse” with as much zest as
if they and little ’Johnny were of the same age
and habits If to be nicknamed “ Uncle,” how
ever smacks of an easy-going temper, to be Chrie
tftiued “old” is equally significant of coldness and
ill-nature. Who ever knew an “Old” Jones,or
“ Old” Skeesicks, that was not tho very essenco
of meuuness and selfishness 1 Snch men place a
nice value on dollars and quietness, and have no
more taste for the “deviltry of childhood,” than
they have tor organ grinders and charity boxes.

AUGUSTA. GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1853.
MISCELLANY,
From the Diary of a Journeyman Printer.
The Journeyman's Secret.
“You can tike this case," said the foreman;
“ here is a stick—here is some copy; and if yon
w >ald like a quiet and steady partner, yon will
find this (rentleman still enough in all conscience."
The ‘ partner’ merely looked up and faintly
smiled in acknowledgment of the foreman’s com
pliment, and kept ou with his work, while the
foreman turned away to attend to something else.
We worked on steadily until dinner, a? we were
in a hurry to get tbe paper out, without exchang
ing a word, or even a look. In the afternoon, I
had more leisure to study the physiognomy of my
neighbor. Ho was a young man of about three or
fonr and twenty, with handsome features and a
rather intellectual cast of countenance. His face
was quite pale, and the raven darkness of his
hair, eye-brows and eyes, made me immediately
come to the conclusion, after thoroughly studying
his physiognomy, that he was a hard slodent da
ring his leisure hours, or that, depriving himself
of the recreation of books, or ether sources of en
joyment, he spent a!! his waking hours at tho case.
The latter supposition time proved correct.
As clay after day passed by, I became more ac
quainted with him; and I found him to be a sin
gular character. Beneath bis stand he had con
structed a kind of a closet; which contained a
spirit lamp, a mattrass, with bedding, a few cook
ing utensils, and a small stock of the plainest kind
of food. W nen the hoars for meals arrived, be
would light his lamp, and putting some food over
It to oook, would work uutil all the rest of the
hands hsu left the offioe when he would sit down
to his frugal repast. He worked incessantly du
ring work honrs, hardly leaving the office, unless
to purchaso food orupon some errandotthßt kind.
Morning, noon and night, when I returned from
my meals, I invarisbly found him at the case,
working away with all his might, as if some great
issue depended upon tho improvement of every
minute. I suppose lie slept upon the cot which
he kept in his closet; bntas he was always at work
when I left at night, and when 1 returned in the
morning, 1 eonld not positively assert that ho did
so. lam not very garrulous, especially when em
ployed at the case, and as he would not first ud
"iWw me, I would not speak to him; so while the
fun and joko were passing round tho other cases,
we were silent as tbe grave. I was not long in
discovering that there was some mystery connect
ed with him, snd that his intense application to
labor was not prompted merely by a desire to make
money; for if there is anything in phronology,
judging from trie formation of his head, he was
the very odb whom I would have selected from
a scoro for a spendthrift. Occasionally his cheek
would flush, his eyes light up, and a happy suiilo
overspread his features; then the smilo would go
away, his eyes would fill with tears, while an ex
pression of sadnoss—almost despair—would seat
ilselt upon hisconnlenancc. I have been tempted
a thousand times to ask him the cause of this, but
as he appeared so cold aud isolated, I refrained
from doing so, as it is not pleasant proffering sym
pathy unasked.
“ Well, how do you like yonr neighbor?”asked
one of the ionrneymen of me, as wu were descend
ing the stairs one evening.
“I can hardly make him out," said I; “heap
pears to be a strange sort of being. You are bet
ter acquainted with him than I; how do you like
him
“For my part, I hate him, and what is more, he
has not a friend in the whole office. That fellow
has been here tor three months, and he has hard! »•
spoken to any one. A man who makes such bills
as he does, and hoards up his money like a miser,
I have very little friendship for. We wouldn’t any
of us care so much it he would be a little sociable
and spend a dollar, or evon a dimo occssionally;
but no—every fivo-cent piece he gots he hangs on
to as if he was afraid tho eagle on it would spread
his wings and fly away with it, doing him out of a
flve-oent piece. But ho can’t stay here long.
We’ve insulted him u dozen times; and he has
less spank than I think ho has if he don’t resent
it some day. We’ll got him into a quarrel then,
and have him discharged.”
“ But,” said 1 “do you know anything about
his history? He may have some all-sorbing end
to accomplish, which is the causo of his untiring
assiduity. You should have a little charity for the
fellow, and taking Crockett’s motto, ‘be sure
you’re right boforeyou go ahead.’”
“ No, we know nothing of him ; and if circum
stances are as you suppose, it will be his own fault
if they are discovered too late, for we have tried
often enough to scrape an acquaintance with him.
You had bettor not tako up on his side if you do
not wish to incur the displeasure of the whole
office. Good night.”
I had some charity for tho fellow, and was re
solved to see him righted should he getinto a diffi
culty. I soon saw thut ho was very unpopular, and
that I, as I felt rather disposed to make allowances
for him, was considered his friend. Many were
the jokes cracked at our expense. Whenever the
“Quaker corner” (as tho place occupied by us had
been dubbed) was mentioned, a universal titter
ran round the office. These little things irritated
mo some, but as I was not the principal object at
whom theso arrows were aimed, 1 resolved to for
bear and lot him be the first to speak.
“ I say, fellows," said a rowdy looking customer
who went by the name of Zeke, “ do Quakers
over have camp meetings?”
“ Yes,” answered another, “they have a cauip
mooting over there in Quaxer corner overnight.
That fellow camps out upon tho floor every nap he
takes.”
“Well.” said another, “I’ve heard of ‘board
ing at the market-house and Bleeping on the
bridge, ’ bat I never saw an illustration of it be
fore. ”
“ Wonder if they would’nt take in boarders?”
asked the first speaker. “ I’ll sec if they don’t
wont the rules and regulations of the house print
ed. If they do, I’ll board out the bill. ”
I glanced at my neighbor to seo how bo bore
this ridicule. His' I'aco was flushed and his lips
firmly compressed, as if to choke down the rising
indignation. But he said not a word. I fancied,
however, that he picked up the type faster than
usual.
Things oould not go on this way much longer,
for as,god like a quality as forbearance is, it cannot
hold out against everything- I saw that a Btorm
was gathering, and prepared to act my part as a
man when it burst forth.
It was Saturday afternoon; the hands were rang
ed around the “stone,” with their bills in their
hands waiting to bo paid off. “Quaker” happen
ed to be atone end of the “stone, ’’ and immedi
ately opposite him stood “Zoko.” As usual,
“Quaker” was the “observed of all observers,”
and sly whispers, which wero answered by a titter
or a uudgo of the elbow, passed around tho group.
As the foreman paid “ Quaker ” the amount due
him, he gave him a new quarter dollar to make out
the change. This did not esoape “Zcke’s”eye,
and be said in a tone loud enough to bo heard by
all—
“If that eagle on that quarter had life, and I
were a State prison convict, I would’nt swap places
with it, for my confinement would be far more pre
ferable to being squeezed to death. ”
This was tho hair that broke the camels back.—
With the exclamation, “ You d—d scoundrel 1” he
made one bound, and with a stunning blow,
brought “ Zeke ” to the floor. Then jerking off
his coat and placing himself in a fighting attitude,
he turned to the astonished group with “ comeon,
now, cowardly rufiiians. If you cannot let me
alono poaceably I will make you do it by force. I
have borne your insults long enough, and if you
have any more to offer come on with them t”
This challenge was sufficient. Oats came off
and sleeves were rolled in a minute. I saw that
my friend would be apt to get the worst of the
fight, and forcing him into a corner, I oxclaimedl:
“Gentlemen, one word, if you please I It
would be cowardly tor you all to attack this man;
1 will not seo it done. Aud it you will attempt it
I have something here (tapping my breast signifi
cautly,) that will atop it. Ho is not to blame ; ho
has only resented an insult, which any of you
would have done. You have insulted him because
he has conducted himself strangely ; let him ex
plain his conduct, and perhaps we can make up
our quarrel. He owes you an explanation—if not
to you, he certainly does to me. And now, sir,”
said I, turning to him, “I demand it of you as a
right.”
Ho hesitated a moment. “Come, my friond,”
said I, “ let us have it, whatever it is, and at once
put an end to this quarrel.”
“ Well, gentlemen,” said ho, “ I am not dispos
ed to lay my private affairs open to public gaze,
but I suppose I must do it for once. You must
know, then, that from my earnings I must not on
ly support myself, but my mother, two sisters aud
three small brothers, who reside in a distant Slate.
I could earn enough at home to support them well,
but my reason for coming hero is this. One of my
sisters, who is now a beautiful girl of sixteen, and
the pet of tho family, has been blind from birth.
We had no hope of her ever acquiring the faculty
of sight, and were content to abide by what we
thought a dispensation of Providence But re
cently I have seen a case similar to hers—a young
man—who was restored to sight by an eminent
physician of Paris. 1 have corresponded with
that physician, and he has high hopes that in
my Bister’s case he can effect a cure. This, gen
tlemen, is what I have been laboring for since I
have been here—to raise funds sufficient to take
her to Paris. I love that sister as Ido my own
life; I have labored day and night—have deprived
my elf of many comforts, and borne your taunts
aiid jeers for her sake. But 1 can bear it no long
er. If you are men you will desist; if you do
not, I warn you of the consequences!”
“ Zeke ” had risen to his feet and heard all my
friend had said. As he listened to the “Quaker,”
I could see the moisture coming to his eyes; and
when be had finished, he stepped forth, and grasp
ing “ Quaker’s ” hand, while the team trickled
down bis face, he said, in a voice quivering with
emotion—
“ Mv noble fellow, we have wronged you deep
ly, and I, for one, ask your forgiveness. Had yon
but told ns what your object was we would not
have placed a single obstacle in your way.”
“ I forgive you freely, sir—l forgive you all,”
said “Quaker.”
“And how much have you to raise yet,” I asked,
“before you will have the requisite sum f”
“ About one hundred and fifty dollars. If I

“ You won’t have to wait that long,” Baid
“Zeke,” laying the money he held in his hand upon
the stone, “if my week’s wages, every cent of
which you’re welcome to, will help you along any.
Come boys,” he added, “ how many of you will
follow suit!”
“ Well there’s mine,” said Jim, laying an X up
on the pile, “and mine,” “and mine,” said a
dozen voices, as each hand deposited an equal
amount, until they had made quite a pile of bank
bills.
« There, stranger, take that, and may God pros
per you,” said “ Zeke,” tendering him the money.
“No, gentlemen,” answered the “Quaker, ” “I
thank you for your liberality; but I cannot take
your money. lam no beggar; all I ask is that I
may be allowed to do my work without being dis
turbed. ”
“ But you must take it, ” urged “ Zeke, ” grow
ing warm, “we owe it to you, and you shall take
it. We’ve done you a great wrong-we’ve abused
you—and we have no other way of making amends.
Besides, if you don’t take it, it will be spent be
fore Monday morning, and I know that for my
part it will be much pleasanter to commence the
week with the consciousness of having appropri
ated my money in a sensible way, than with the
foggy cead, aching limbs, and empty pocket, which
always follow a ‘ free and easy.’ ”
Still the stranger hesitated. “ Take it—take it
for your sister’s sake, ” said two or three voices.
“ I accept it, gentlemen,” said the ‘Quaker,’
“ as-you say, ‘ for my sister’s sake, ’ and 1 hope to
be able some day to return it, principal and inter
est. ”
“ Quaker” left sot Paris shortly after; and in a
tew months we had the satisfaction of hearing that
his sister was completely restored to sight, and
that they wei e on their way home.
I have heard from him several times since. His
“ lines have been drawn in pleasant places,” and
he is now a judicial functionary in a neighboring

China Mi-lion and Pacific Railroad.
We find in the New York Journal of Commerce
the aunexed explanation of Mr. Walker’s relin
quish mont of the Mission to China. Wo give it
tor what it is worth. It is stated that “ lie accept
ed npon three express conditions, numcly, that ne
should have carte bUnche to make such a commer
cial treaty as he might find when upon tho spot, to
be most proper and advantageous, or, in other
words, that he should be tied down by no specific
instructions: that he should be sent out in a na
tional ship, and that he shonld be sont ont imme
diately. The Administration accepted the condi
tions,and promised to dispatch Mr. Walker in a
natioual ship, and to do it immediately; bat owing
to the defects of onr naval establishment, tlu y
could not perform what they had promised. Mr.
Walker was quite determined not to go to China
under a foreign flag, and not to trnst himself to tne
Alleghany. He would have prefored, probably,
to risk himself iu the little revenue cutter which
bears his name. The Government cannot send Mr.
Walker to China, and neither is he now much in
clined to go. He has various, and to him, more im
portant and interesting matters to employ him at
homo.”
Mr. Walker’s private affairs would not boa pro
per subject for newspaper inquiry; but, as the
closing remark above may find a solution in the
following paragraph, and therefore refer to a great
public object, we subjoin it:—Act. Intel.
Tub New York Atlantic and Pacific Ralboad
Company. —This company, which was chartered by
the State of New York at the iate session of the
Legislature, held their first meeting in tho ci'y of
New York on Friday. A majority of the Com
missioners designated in the charter were not pres
ent, but those present nroeeded to business and
opened the books of subscription.
Mr. Robert J. Walker commenced the subscrip
tion to the stock with the snm of ten million of
dollars. Dr. Newcombe, of Albany, and otbors,
in behalf of themselves and others, subscribed the
sum of two million eight hundred thousand dol
lars, and the company then adjonrned to meet on
the Ist of October.
The capital stock of the company is one tun
dred millions of dollars. Under the tenth seotion
of the charter each stockholder is made individ
ually liable for all tho debts of the company to the
extent of tho amount of his stock which may not
be fully paid np, and also for all indebtedness to
laborers and othors employed on the road. The
charter also provides that tho stockholders may,
stter the whole amount of the stock shall be taken
in good faith, proceed to the election of a Presi
dent and other officers of the company. The com
pany have power under the charter to construct a
railroad to the lYcitic, with the assent of the United
States, through any territory of the United States,
and through the territory of any State, with th
assent of that State.
The Island of Jamaica.
Mr. Wood, our new Consol at Valparaiso, on
his way thither touched at Jamaica. In a letter
to a friend in Ohio he describes tho condition into
which the snddon and general emancipation of the
negro slaves in Jamaica has reduced that magnifi
cent island. An act of misguided philanthropy
has been the rain of both whites ana blacks, and
tho miserable race which it was designed to bless
appear to be fast relapsing into a state of utter
barbarism. The following is an extract from Mr.
Wood’s letter:
“ About 10 o’clock A. M. we enmo in sight of
Jamaica. Mountains appeared, rising sevoral
thousand feet. On nearing the land we took on
board a black pilot, ran close in with the shore
about thirty miles to Port Royal, and entered the
harbor of Kingston, whioh, you know, is on the
south side. Wo were close iu with the land from
the time we reached Jamaica until we entered the
harbor. We saw many plantations, tho bnildings
dilapidated; fioldßOf sugarcane half worked aud
appearently poor, aud nothing but that which will
grow without the labor of man appeared luxuriant
and flourishing. The Island itself is of great fer
tility, one of tho best of the Antilles; but all the
large estates upon it are now fast going to ruin.
In the harbor were not a dozen ships of all na
tions ; no business was doing, and everything
you heard spoken was in the language of com
£laint. Since the blacks have been liberated they
>ve become indolent, insolent, degarded and dis
honest. They are a rude, beustjy set ot vaga
bonds, lying naked about the streets, as filthy as
the Hottentots, and 1 believe worse.
“On getting to the wharf, tho first thing, the
blacks ot both sexes, in great uumbere, perfectly
naked, came switning about the boat, and would
dive for small piecos of coin that were thrown
them by tho passengers. Those they would catch
from the water or pick from the bottom. They
never foil, though the water is twenty feet deep.
“ Tho harbor of Kingston is spacious and secure.
Tho city is old and iu ruins. On entering it the
stranger is annoyed to death by the black beggars
at every step, and you mußt often Bhow them your
pistol or an uplifted cane to rid yonrself of their
importnnities.
“ Wowero here twenty-four hours, took in four
hundred tons of coal, which was all brought on
board by black women in rags, in tubs carried on
their heads.
“ The whites are very civil and corteous. They
seem delighted to see Americans, say the Island
is ruined by legislation and neglect of the home
government, and most of them are desirous of
getting away.
“ I hope the abolition of slavery every where
will not be attended with the same consoquences
that it has in Jamaica—to ruin both black and
white; but no one visits Jamaica without the most
thorough conviction that the liberation of the slave
has spoiled him and ruined his master. I have,
however, time for no more comment on tho sub
jeet.”

Th* American Expedition to Japan.—The Hong
Kong papers state that the Emperor of Russia,
having heard that the United States Government
had determined on sending a large naval force to
Japan, with a view to the opening of that long
closed country by peaceable means, and entirely
concurring in the policy of demonstrating to the
Japanese Government that foreignere had tne pow
er to take what they (the Japanese) might feel in
disposed to give, has resolved ia aiding the experi
ment by sending a squadron of co-operation, the
Pallas, 52 guns; theDwina, 19 guns, and the Vo
stock, 4 guns. ,
Alter remaining here a week (says one paper)
the Pallas and Vostock will, together, proceed in
search of the American fleet, supposed, at present,
to be about the Loo-Choo Islands, waiting for the
Powhatan, now hourly expected. This, then, is
the whole secret and mystery of the presence of
the Pallas and Yostock in our waters; and the
revelation is hardly news, for if we remember
aright, their advent was announced m this jour
nal fully a quarter of a year ago. Between Bus
sian America and the northerDinoßt portmoapan
(we have been told by Russian navigators) there
ia still, and for a long time has been, some trade;
and it is in no way unreasonable to find his Im
perial Majesty desirous of improving and regulat
ing it on such terms as may be obtained by other
Coma. The excitement on the subject of Cop
per, in Polk, Bradley, McMinn, Monroe, and a
part of Georgia, seems to keep np. The surface
of tho earth is said to be perforated with holes
dug out by anxious hunters for “ specimens ,” and
the people are getting to be pretty well acquain
ted with the science of Mineralogy. We learn
from the Dalton Tunes, that the receipts of Ore
at the Depot at that place for the month of
August, amounted to 1009 boxee, equal to 804
tons, and employed 150 wagons to transport the
ore from the mines to Dalton, and the business ia
increasing so rapidly that it is thought the re
ceipts will shortly be sufficient to load an entire
train of cars every day.
Oar friends at Cleveland are opening a road
from that place to the mines, and if -they have an
eye single to their own prot perity, they will lose
no time in having it completed. The trade that
will neceseariaily spring np b; the daily visits of
so many teams, and the constant communication
thereby kept np with the mines, will be profita
ble ano important. The Merchants of Cleveland
might well afford to bnild this road—but as all
wifi be benefited, all should extend liberal assis
tance to the enterprise. Make Cleveland tbs
point of shipment upon the Railroad for this cop
per, and yon will not only add to the freights of
the £. T. A Ga. Railroad, which every East Ten
nessean should have at heart, bat yoa will make
Soar town the most lively and boain«i like place

Alexander C. Walker.
Although the gentleman « hose name appears at
the head of this article has repoatedly represented
Richmond county in the Legislature, to many of his
fellow-citizens he is entirely unknown. Reeidiug
several miles from the city, and quietly pursuing
the occupation of a planter, hundreds, doubtless,
have hilheito voted for, or opposed him, under
the impression that he was, perhaps, some old or
middle-aged country gentleman, of plain education
and moderate capacity. Such, not a great while ago,
was certainly our idea of tho man, and as it mat
be a prevalent notion, in some quarters, now, we
propose, without his knowledge, to devote to him
a brief notice.
Mr. Walker is ol middle stature and slender
frame, about thirty six years of age, and, if we
mistake not, a sou of Reuben Walker, deceased,
from whom he received a liberal education, and
the estate npon which he now resides. Modest
and retiring in his disposition, and measurably in
dependent, with one exception he has never volun
tarily exchanged the pleasures ol home for the
strifes and excitements of public service. To the
unsought homage of his fellow-citizeus he is in
debted for all the political reputation lie has earn
ed, and his rule of life has been to seek nothing
for the sake of notorioty or mere excitement. The
exception to which we reter, grow out of the Flori
da war. Iu 1886, inspired with the feeling that
animated the breasts of onr bravo Volunteers, Mr.
W. connected himself with the Richmond Mute,
and endured all the privations and suffering ot
that spirited oorps.
It may very naturally be inferred *rom wlmt we
have said, that Mr. Walker is an educated man,
and, though unambitious, is yetchivalricand rea
dy, at all times, to serve his country. This, how
ever, is not all. He is a man to be local —a good
neighbor and a generous and humane muster.
Those who know him intimately can vouch for
this; but lest some msy be sceptical without
proof, we commend to every unprejudiced reader
•he following narrative, taken from the Appendix
of a little book called the “African Preacher,"
originally written by Mr. Walker for the Home
Journal. The simplicity and perspicuity of its
style, and the touching and impressive manner in
which the story is related, cannot fail to convince
every one that Mr. Walker is a gentleman of good
talents, with a generous and noble Laturo:
THE NIQHT FUNERAL OF A SLAVE.
Travelling receutly on bnsiness, in the interior
of Georgia, I reached just at sunset tho mansion
of the proprietor through whoso ostate, for the
last half hour of my journey, I bad pursued my
way. My tired companion pricked his ears, anil
with a low whinny indicated bis pleasure as I
turned up the broad avenue leading to the honse.
Calling to a black boy in view, I made him inquire
of his owner it I could be accommodated with
lodgings for tho night.
My request brought the propiietor himself to
the door, and from thence to the gate, when,
after a scrutinizing glance at my person and (quip
ments, he inquired my Name, business and des
tination. I promptly responded to his questions,
and he invited me to alight and enter the house,
in the true spirit of southern hospitality.
He was apparently thirty years of age, and
evidently a man of education and refinement. I
soon observed an air of gloomy abstraction about
him; hn said but little, and even that little seemed
the result of an effort to obviate tho seeming want
of civility to a stranger. At supper, the mistress
of the mansion appeared, and did the honors of
the table, in her particular department. She was
exceedingly lady-like and beautiful. She retired
immediately after supper, and u servant handing
Borne splendid Habanas on a small silver tray, wc
had seated onrselves comfortably before the euor
mens fire of oak wood, when a servant appeared
at the end door near my host, hat in hand, and
uttered iu subdued but distinct tones, the, to me,
startling words:
“ Master, do coffin hub come.”
“Very well,” was the only reply, and theßer
vant disappeared.
My host remarked my gaze of inquisitive wonder,
and replied to it—
“l have been sad, sad,” said he, “to-day. I
have had a greater misfortnne than I have ex
perienced since my father’s death. I lost this
morning the truest and moat reliablo friend I bin I
iu the world—one whom I have been acouslomed
to honor and respect since my earliest recollection,
lie was the playmate of my father’s youth, and the
montor of mine; a faithful servant, an honest
man, and sincere Christian. 1 stood by his bed
side to day, and with hia hands clasped in mine,
I heard the laßt words he uttered; they were,
“ Master, meet me in heaven.”
His voioo faltered a moment, and he continued,
after a pause, with increased excitement:
“ His loss is a melancholy one to me. If I left
my home, I said to him, ‘John, see that ail things
are taken care of,’ and I knew that my wife and
child, property and all, were as safe as thougli
they were guardod by a hundred soldiers. 1
□ever spoke a harsh word to him in all my life, for
he never merited it. I have a hundred others,
many of them faithful and trne, but his loss is
irreparable.”
I came from a section of the Union where slavery
docs not ex st; and I brought with me all the
prejudices which so generally prevailed in tho free
States in regard to this “institution.” I had
already seen much to soften these, but the ob
servation of years would have failed to give me
so clear an insight into the relation between master
and servant as this simple incident. It was not
the haughty planter, the lordly tyrant, talking of
his dead slave as of his dead horse, but the kind
hearted gentleman, lamenting the loss and eulogiz
ingtbe virtues of his good old friend.
After an interval of silence, my host resumed:
“There are,” said he, “ many of the old man’s
relatives and friends who would wish to attend
bis funeral. To ufford them opportunity, soveral
Elantations havo been notified that he will bo
uried to-night. Some, I presume, havo already
arrived; ana desiring to see that all things are
properly prepared for his interment, I trust you
wiltexcuso my absence a few moments.”
“ Most certainly, sir; but,” 1 added, “if there
is no impropriety, I would bo pleased to nccom
pany jffm.”
“ There is none,” he replied; and I followed
him to one ot a long row of cabins, situated at the
distance of some three hundred yards from the
mansion. The house was orowded with negroes.
All arose on onr entrance, a'.d many of them ex
changed greeting with ray host, in tones that, con
vinced the that they felt that he was an object of
sympathy from them ! The corpse was deposited
iu tun coffin, attired in a shroud of tho finest
cotton materials, and tho coffin itself painted black.
The master stopped at its head, and laying his
hand upon thecoldbrow of his faithful bondsman,
gazed long and intently upon features with which
he had been so long familiar, and which he now
looked upon for tho last time on earth. Raising
his eyes at length, and glancing at the serious
courtenances now bent upon his, ho said solemn
ly, and with much fooling—
“ He was a faithful servant and true Christian -
If you follow his example, aud live as he lived,
none of you need fear when the time comes for
you to lie here.”
A patriarch, with tho snow of eighty winters on
his head, answered,
“ Master, it is trne, and wo will try to live like
him.”
There was a murmnr of general assent, ond
after giving some instructions relativo to the
burial, we returned to the bnilding.
About nine o’clock a servant appeared with the
notice that they were reedy to move, ond to know
if farther instructions were necessary. My host
remarked to me that, by stepping in the piazza, I
would probably behold, to ms, a novel scene. The
procession had moved, and its ronte led within a
few yards of the mansion. There wero one hun
drea and fifty negroes, arranged four deep, and
following a wagon in which was placed the coffin.
Down the entire length of the line, at intervals of
a few feet on each side, were carried torches of tho
resinous pine, here called light-wood. About the
centre was stationed the black preacher, a man of
gigantic frame and stentorian lunirs, who gave out
from memory the words of a hymn suitable to the
occasion. The Southern negroes are proverbial
for the melody and compass of their voices, and I
thought that hyniD, mellowed by distanoe, tho
most solemn, and yet the sweetest musio that had
ever fallen upon my car. The stillness of the
nigh’, and strength of their voices, enabled me to
diatingniah the air at the distance of half a mile.
It was to me a strange and solemn scene, and no
incident of my life has impressed tne with more
powerful emotions than the night funeral ol tho
poor negro. For this reason I have hastily and
most imperfectly sketched its leading features.
For the Chronicle dc Sentinel.
Mr. Editor:— l was in Augusta Saturday even
ing last, and heard the Hon. H. V. Johnson’s
speech. Like many others, I was disappointed.’
This effort of the distinguished gentleman fell
short of his reputation. Respecting the style of
Mr. Johnson’s oratory, I shall urge no objection ;
indeed in this particular, he acquitted himself
handsomely, bnt without eliciting much applause.
It ia not my purpose, to review in exteneo the
speech of the Hon. gentleman—l desire simply to
notice “a position” or two.
I was surprised to bear Mr. Johnson deny, so
emphatically and unqualifiedly, that he ever was a
secessionist or disuniocißt. He went farther and
asserted in language unmistakable, that he never
contemplated seeking “ redress ” for Federal
wrongs, other than by remaining in the Union and
acting in conformity with the requirements of the
constitution, O tempera ! O moree / how the for
mer are changed , and the latter debaeed. Bnt this
is not ail, Mr. Johnson not content with giving
the flat denial to the charge, that two years ago he
was a Secessionist, he proceeded to argue the
question as to the wildness and absurdity of such
a proposition. Mr. Johnson never a Secessionist 1
H. V. Johnson never a D'snnionist! Where were
yoa Mr. Johnson when the Nashville Convention
was in session ? Did yon contribute in no wise
to the assembling of that convention I Have you
never publicly tndoreed the proceedings of that
patriotic body of Southern Rights men I Suppose
yon refresh your memory by a careful perusal of
the proceedings at Nashville, and dealing honest
ly with yourself and the people of Georgia, on
twtr, did not the endorsements of that resolution
of the convention, which contemplated a dissolu
tion of the Union commit yon as a Disunionist!
Again, in your letter of 1850, what is the com
mon emu inference from these words—“retrace
onr steps ws cannot, but we can terminate these
accursed alliances.” True you were speaking of
the political parties North, bnt when yon can de
monstrate how “these accursed alliances” may be
terminated, and the Union of the States main
tained, I will withdraw the ciutrge that yon were a
Disunionist.
This day two weeks settles the question whether
yon or Mr. Jenkins is to be onr Governor.—
Whether favorably or unfavorably, for you, Mr.
Johnson, there is one fact which I would impress
upon your mind, your humiliating public recanta
tion of principle) and tenlimenU, which every body in
Georgia heretofore supposed,from your position and
associations, at least, that you entertained, and which
were never abjured until you became a andd’ te for
Governor, mortified many old political frieme who
stood by you in 1850. They have been fooled
ones—that was your fruit—if fooled again, the
fruit will be their own.

The Meeting at Rearing.
Mb. Editor— Perhaps an account of the meeting
of the Secessionists at Doaring last Saturday may
be of interest to somo of your readers. This was
an ont-and-out Secession meeting, no conservative
speaker being invited to participate. The party,
of course, bad a perfect right to arrange the speak
ing to suit themselves, but it proves that, true to
their instincts, they prefer darkness to light—that
they are afraid of free discussion. A number of
the party, to tbeir honor be it said, refused to have
any thing to do with such a meeting. Doaring is
tho strong hold of the party in this county, but
there was a vory slim turn out—a large nnmberof
tho audience being Jenkins men. Tho speakers
woie all violent Secessionists, worshippers of their
great high priest, Charles J. McDonald, President
of tho Nashville Convention.
Mr. Jones opened the ball with a sohool-boy
speech, dwellingprincipallyon Webster’sFreosoil
ism ; bnt ho nevor told the people that it was Dan
iel Webster who told tho North to their teeth that
the Fugitive Slave Law was justand Constitution
al, and that they wete traitors if they resisted its
excontion. Not a word said about Webater’s sac
rificing himself to maintain tho Constitutional
rights of slaveholders. Ho told us, however, that
the Whig party had never succeeded but by trick
and humbuggory—that is, that we wore a pack ol
fools, always ready to be humbugged. lie also
told us that, no matter if Johnson was a Disuuion
ist and a Spirit Rappor, they never found him pass
ing any Algerine Latv; but ho forgot to say that
it was for the very good reason that the people ne
ver had confidence enough in him to trust him
with a seat in the Legislature—that ho never held
an office from tho people in his life. He also for
got to say, that his pot, McDonald, approved and
signed this famous law. Mr. Jonos told us that
Johnson never was caught in tho company ofsuoh
patriots as WcbstT and Fillmore; but he forgot
to tell us that he sat check by jowl, in the Balti
more Convention, with Wm. Cullen Bryant, (of
the Evening Post) and other notorious Freosoilcis,
and that ho is now in the fond embrace of Dix,
tho Van Burens, Fowler, Vroom, Gray, Maloney,
a id all that tribe, tho most black-hearted enomies
of us and ours.
Afior Mr. Jones, Judgo Johnson took the stand.
He is a good speaker, but he feels certain of a
Waterloo defeat in such a bad cause. As Judge
Johnson has done noth! ng to recommend himself
to the people, as he does not stand on his owu
merits, he puts the issue entirely on Pierce and
his Frcosoil appointments. He sustains Pierce
throughout, Froesoil and all, and said it was no
matter if he did appoint Froosoilers to offico, as
there is no territory now to which tho Wilmot
Proviso can be applied. Ho told us that the Fugi
tive Slave Law, which he declared to bo the only
part of the adjustment worth a dime to us, was
now tho only test; but he did not mention the
names of those appointees of Pierce who had given
written pledges to vote for the repeal of that very
Law. The only ground upon which he asked his
election was Pierce and Froesoil—that if tho peo
ple elected Mr. Jenkins, they would in effect de
nounce Pierce’s appointments. Well, that is just
what the people intend to do—elect Jonkins and
denounce Frtesoil. Tlieso leaders are cortainly to
be pitied. Two years ago they could find no mou
at the North good enough to associate with, and
oven last year determined to oppose Cass if nomi
nated by the Baltimore Convention, but now seek
their bosom friends among tiie lowest dregs ot the
Free Democracy, and havo tho hardihood to say to
the free voters of Georgia, “vote for Johnson and
sustain Freesoil appointments.”
I wonder if the J udge ever thinks of tho “curs
ed alliance” he spoke of in 18501 None of the
speakers would read Dix’a lottcr. They seo it wai
a bad speculation to write to Now Y'ork to get u
Frocsoiler aud an oppouout of the Fugitive Slavo
Law, to help elect aSoeessiouist Governor of Geor
gia, and they drop it like a hot potato. The phys
io works, but it works for 'Jenkins, thanks to the
mincompoops that conceived the brilliant idea.
Tho Dootor who got tho physio from Dix was
present, I suppose, to pronounce the article gen
uine, and ho seemed quite orost-fallen that he
was not wan tod. Out upon such despicable wire
workers! The Judgo told us that there was no
U nion party before the meeting of the Georgia
Convention, and no Southern Rights party after
wards. This was really refreshing ! He spoke of
the Conservative party as thioves and counterfeit
ers, and was very sovore on tho lying Editors and
letter-writers, giving them tho lio direct, as there
woro none present. But ho did not deny calling
ns “knavesand fools" in his Washington letter,
for that was in black and whitQ. He tried his
blarney on the Scott Whigs and Union Democrats,
but it was an entire waste of words. After the
Judgo oancludcd we were all invited to a bounti
ful dinner, which was discussed with much gusto.
After dinner, Mr. Cowart of Canton, got np and
told ns Colquitt’s old jokes and anecdotes, which
he did pretty wolf,‘exiopt that it was a hard matter
for him to recollect them all, and he sometimes got
off the scent. I hear that Mr. Cowart is, or was, a
preucher, and, like Colquitt, whom he imitates as
nearly as possible, he attempted to ridicule the
manner of onr good old Baptist and Mothodist
preachers—shame on him for it. Ho stated that lie
conld prove from the Bible that every body ought
to hang themselves before sundown, thus inakiug
of that sacred volume a mockery. Mr. Cowart has
mistaken his calling either us preacher or politi
cian, but, with sovore drilling, lie might do for the
low comedian of a penny theatre. He brought
aomo puerile objections to Mr. Jenkins, such us are
used only by the most infamous pot-house dema
gogues. Iu conclusion he made an appeal to the
ladies, but, unfortunately for him, the ladies, God
bless them, are all for Jen Eros.
None of tho speakers breathed a word (openly)
derogatory to the character of our candidate, for
well they know such a course would only work
their own condemnation. Mr. Jenkins is bound,
by hooks of steel, to the hearts of a grateful and
patriotic people. In less than five minutes after
Mr. Cowart left the stand, some ol our worthy citi
zens (Jenkins men) contributed money to make up
a free discussion barbacno, and asked Mr. Cowart
to name hia day to meet our speakers. 110 refus
ed to name a duy or to meet with us on any ap
pointed day. 8o much for the Hearing meeting.

W abrenton, Ga., Sept. 12, 1858-
At a preliminary meeting of tho Warronton Bar,
called to-day, for the purpose ofgiving some expres
sion to our sorrow in consoquenco of tho death of our
Friend and Brother, Jab. F. Wuiuht, who depart
ed this life a little after 8 o’clock this morning,
William Gibson was called to the Chair, and Isaac
B. Iluff was appointed Sccrotary.
On motion of Edward H. Pottle, it was
Resolved, That the Chair appoint a Committee of
three to draft a suitable Proainblo and Resolutions,
to bo submitted lor the consideration of this Bar,
relative to this melancholy dispensation of Provi
dence, at a future meeting to be horeaftcr appoint
ed.
The Chairman uppoiuted, as that Committee,
Messrs. Edward H. Pottle, John M. Tilly and
Joseph Wasden.
A motion was made and carried, to adjourn, to
meet on the 15th inst., at 10 o’clock, A. M.
Sept. 15, 1858.
The Bar met pursuant to adjournment. E. H.
Pottle, Chairman of the Committee, submitted tho
following Report:
Whereas It has pleased the Almighty Ruler of
the Universe to take from the ranks of our com
mon profess ion, our Friend and Brother, James
F. Wkiout, it becomes us, entertaining a re-noct
for his memory, to signify our attachment for him,
and give some expression of our sorrow over this
sudden bereavement. As a junior member of this
bar he was entitled to the confidence and esteem
of the bretberen for his manlv virtues, his correct
ness of deportment and uniform courtesy. Though
the victim of disease, ter a considerable period of
time while engaged in the duties of his profession,
he gave evidence in the tew causes in which he
was engaged, of a sprightly mind, quiek and dis
cerning, and a talent for persuasion of no mean
order. And above all, he had u conscientious re
gard for the rights and feelings of others, with
whom he was connected, either as suiters, or in any
other rounner connected with the Courts. But it
has seemed fit to Him, who holds in his hands the
issues ot life and cleulh, to remove him from the
ranks of his companions, the embrace of his fami
ly, and the walks of community, we trust, to a
brighter sphere. Beit, therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of onr deceased
Brother, the proses-ion has lost one who adorned
it while he lived, and who has left behind him a
reputation, unstained and unsullied.
Resolved, That wo sympathize wilh his bereaved
family and friends over their sad bereavement,
and tender to them our assurances of that respect
and affection which is due to his memory.
Revolted, That, in farther testimony of oqr re
gard for the deceased, we will wear the usual
badge of mourning for the space of thirty days.
Resolved, That acopy oftbisPreamble and Reso
lutions be transmitted toihe family of thedeccascd:
ard, also, that a espy be sent to the Augusta pa
pers for publication.
On motion of Jesse M. Jones, the Preamble and
Resolutions were unanimously adopted.
On motion, the meeting adjourned, sine die.

We regret to learn that Mr. Clayton, the chief
operator, of the Washington and Now Orleans
Telegraph Company at the Mobile office, died in
th t city ofyellowtever at three o’clock in the after
noon of Monday. Mr. Clayton, who had been for
some time ir. the service of tbo Company and much
esteemed on the line, was, we understand, an ex
cellent yonng man, and a most faithful and effi
cient operator, and fell at his poet—indeed, the
conduct of the operators of this Company at Now
Orleans and Mobile is beyond all praise. Notwith
standing the epidemic has made sad inroads in
their ranks, the survivors do not shrink from
their doty, and the public are deeply iudebted to
them all, but more especially we learn to Mr. Ar
thur Wire.of the New Orleans office, and Mr.
George Smith, of the Mobile office, both these
gentleman having from the commencement of the
pestilence devoted their whole time and att.ntion
to their ardoons duties, notwithstanding the dan
ger they incorred. — Ch. Covr.

Died, no the sth last., at bis residence in Shel
by county Ky., Major Bland Ballard, in the 95th
year of Ins uge.
Tho docouaed wu* born near Frekrlckabttrv
Virginia, iu August, 1759, and came to Kentucky
in 1799. no immediately joined the regular mili
tia which was kept up for the defence of the coun
try, and served ou Bowman’s campaign iu 1779.
Uo was with Gon. George Rogers Cluike, in hbi
expedition against the Pickaway towns in 1781
and in it received asovere wound, from whloh he
uovor rccovored. Again in 1782, ho waa on the
oampuign icd by Gcu. Clarke, with Floyd and La
gau us colonels. After performing various and
iinportunt military .servicesbetween 1782 and 1794,
ho whs present under Gen. Wayne at the deolaivt
battle fought on the 20th of August in that year,
aud he commanded a company m Col. Allen’a re
giment, under Gen. Harrison, in the campaign of
1812-13. He led the udvunco of the detachment
which fought tho first buttle of the River Keialn.
Here lto waa wounded slightly, and again vary
severely by a spent ball, on the 22d of January.—
On this disastrous oooasion he was taken prisoner
and sudered severely by the march through snow
and ice from Muldeh to Fort George.
Os nil the remurkable pioneer Indian lighten,
whoso hißtory is identified with thatofKentnoky,
few were most dis'ingaished than the dooeased.
Ho was a man of wonderful physical power, of •
strong nutivu intellect, of extraordinary sagacity,
and of indomitable courage. These qualitiaa emi
nently fitted him for tho pioneer life, ai.d together
with tho extraordinary circumstances, which anr
round him, make his history ono of the most ro
mantic in the annals ot Kentucky. The whole of
his early life abounded in adventures and feats ao
marvellous that they could be acnroely credited
now, were not tho truth of some of them attested
hy others, and tho whole of them supported by
tho deceased's own unquestioned und unqueatiowM
Isle veracity.
Mpjor Ballard was an nneduoated man, bat w*
have rarely seen one who conversed more fluently
or describe l scenes more graphically. We hero
often seen him on the street ureesed in his buck
skin hunting shirt, surrounded by crowds ot men
and boys list uing with breathless attention to hie
wonderful stories. Wo ourselves have listened to
them many an hour, and often through the live
long night, without fatigue and wholly uuoon&oione
of tho upproaih of morning.
We once heard him asked how many Indiana he
had ki led in one day. “I killed,’’ said be, "eig
one morning before breaklust, end it we* not a
very good morning for the business either.” This
reply, given in his peculiarly bnsine.a-hke style,
we will never forget. If we had not reonrred to
tho question wo might have thought that the old
gentleman was speuking of some morning hunt
tor squirrels, deer, or buffalo, so singularly ealm
was ins manner; but ou this as on other oeca
sious, Major Ballard never exhibited the slightest
compunctions on account of his having killed In
dians. His family, aud he in his own person, bad
received too many injuries from the savigee for
hitn over to l'eol tho slightest sympathy for them.
He regarded them as a I'aithU ss, treacherous race
and the enemy of his own, and therefore sorrowed
but little ovor tboir probable extinction. But he
often spokoof some of them as brave, ohivalrona,
and generous, end for them expressed the warmest
admiration.
The history of Mojor Ballard abounds in many
thrilling adventures and anecdotes wbioh we oonla
roluto, and which might interest our readers, bnt
which the occasion forbids. We cannot, how
ever, dose this skotoh without referring to on* of
them.
In 1788, tho Indiana attacked bis father’s house,
situated near the little fort, on Hok oreek, a few
miles northeast of Bhelbyville. The atteelt wee
made early in the morning, and began by the eava
gesshootlng down his broiher Benjamin, who bed
gone out of tho house for wood to make s fire.
They then assailed the house. The inmates barred
tho door and prepared for dofonoe. Tbs father of
the subject of this sketch was the only men in the
liouso and ho and one old man, were the only
persons in the fort. Aroused by the gune, he
snatched up his own rifle and rnshed to the de
fence of his kindred. He ftred and loaded,
ar d flrod again ns ho ran, with good effeot. In
tho moautimo tho Indians broke open the house
and killed his fatbor, mother, two sisters end
tomahawked the youngost sister, a child wbe re
covered. W hen the Indiana broke into the house,
his mother endeavored to esoape by the back
door, but a savage pursued bar, and aa he raiaed
his tomahawk to Btrlke her, the subject of this
sketch flrod at him, not, however, in time to pre
vent the fulal blow, and they both fell and expired
together. The Indians numbered about fifteen,
but, before they oompleted their work of death
and fled, it is supposed that the aubjeot of H“«

But it wus not merely os u warrior and soldier
thut Major Ballard rendered important service to
Kentuoky. He frequently represented the people
of Shelby oounty iu the Legislature. The State,
in ap’ireoiution of his aervioee, and to perpetuate
his name, have oroated the oounty of Ballard, and
already, in anticipation of hi- death, is bis name
inscribed on the beautiful marble shaft erected In
her publio burying gronud in honor of her distin
guished dead.
The generation now on the sphere of notion, and
the millions who are to succeed them, will neve
hut an imperfeot iuou of tbeohaiaoter and servloee
es the bold, putriotio men, who resoued Kentuoky
from the forest and the savage. The deceased wae
a fine specimen of that noble race of men. He
wus the last of his father’s family. His brother
James, tho companion of hi* youth, end the sharer
of most his adventures and trials, preceded him
bat a sow years. And now that be is gone, we
cannot call to mind a single pioneer of Kentuoky
who is lett; who shall snatch their memory from
oblivion and give ns a true history of Kentuoky,
with its pages all glowing with life-like sketches of
the remarkable men who redeemed her from the
savage, and with storios of adventure* more ro
mantic than even romanco itself ean furnish.—
Without such biographies end eketohen the histo
ry of Kentucky oan no more be written than that
of the United states without mentioning the name
of Washington. —btusvilU Journal.
Geittno Fortunes dt Lottery.—A Pennsylva
nia paper lias taken some pains for the purpose of
showing how near a man may come to drawing t
prise by buying a lottery tioket. First, (he rays)
there aro upwards of seventy nr rubers used in nu
king out the tioket, and there are three numbers on
each ticket; now the question is, how many differ
ent tiokets can be made I If but ten figure* were
need instead of severity, there ooald be issued
8,8*8,800 tiokets, each different from the other* ;
and it twelve-figures wore used, instead of seven
ty, there could be issued479,ooo,Boo tickets; so n
nun in the first instance, where there are ten nan
bora, would stand ono chance of 8,628,800 ehanoer,
and in tlie lust instanoe, where there are twelve
numbers to chsngo by, lie would stand bnt one
chance out of 479,000,600, end if the whole seven
ty figures bo need, and if us many different tiokets
were Issued as could be formed by the permuta
tion of these numbers, it is probable that there
would be enough to more then carpet the whole
territory of the United States.
Os course very few are printed compared to what
might be primed, yet there is just as good avhanea
fora piizo to an unprinted tioket as tna printed
one. If it does so, as no one oun claim lhe money,
it remains with those making the lottery. There
aro, in such a case, thousands of ohanoee in favor
of the lo'tcry maker. Again, if lotteriea ware fairs
ly conducted, there would be handled* or thou
sands ouch month receiving a fortune by the high
prizes ulotre; and each year there ooald be named
trom one thou-und to ten thousand peraous tboa
favored by fortune. In tiiis we have only been
speaking of one single prize in eaoh lottery, and
us there are many Important ones in eaoh. the
fortunate person sought to greatly exoced ten inoo
sand annually, set, how seldom do you hear that
even a (1000 prize ia drawn t Still ail the priaa* of
evory lot'ery should fall on some one at each draw
ing. Who gets thorn I—where do the favored one*
live!—and how does it happen that their name*
aro not paraded before tho pnblio eaoh week and
thus used to indueo others to buy 1 It is simply
because no one holds a ticket entitled to the prise,
and, ot course, the money remains with the maker
of the lottery. The whole system would be a per
fect scheme of gambling, even if honeatlj conduct
ed, but managed as it is, it loess the character of
ovon honorable gambling, and should rank with
tho lowest species of fraud.
Iron for the Adocsta & Waniaboro’ Rail
road.—The ship Nsorni, which arrived here yes
terday from Cardiff, Wales, has on board (50 tons
Uailroad Iron, to Padellord, Fay & Co., for the
Augusta & Wanoshoro’ road. This is the last
cargo that will be required for tho completion of
the road, and as all tlie timber for the snperatroo
tnre is ready we look for an early completion of
tho entire line. W« believe there are only about
eight rnilca of track to lav now, and that after the
Ist of October there will be bnt four or five mile*
of staging between here and Augusta.—&ea*Mh

the bridge across the Little Pee Dee ia completed,
und that on or about Wednesday next the can

plete the unfinished part of the road very rapidly.

John Smith.—This accomplished villain, was. at
our recent Superior Court, sentenced, by Jodge
Cone, to five years close confinement in the State's
prison. He plead Guilty to the charge prefered
against him, to wit Larceny from the House;— ■
and during all the proceedings ending in his con
demnation he manifested no feeling of aontritiom
or repentance. W hen called upon to answer— 1 “ if
he had anything to say, why sentence of tho law
should not be pronounced against him I—ho re
plied in a speech which done more credit to hit
head than it did to his heart. It was bnt n hand
some phiilippic against Society, the good order,
peace and dignity thereof. It will, we are sorry
to learn, be published. We would not make a

their attention to tho objects most worthy es no

little visitor* were so delighted that they ran hither
and thither gszmg with wild delight upon tho
many things which to them were new and aston
