Lament of Ike Widowed Inebriate.
BY BYBOA W^AVBI.
I’m think'ng on thy smilejmary—
Thy brJrhtand trailing smile—
In the mornina of cur youth and love,
Kre sorrow c me, t r guile;
When your arms we e twined about my neck,
And mjejes looked into thine,
And the heart that throbbed for me alone.
Was nettling close to m ne.
I see fall many a smile, Mary,
On young lipsbemiog bright;
And many an eye of light and love
Is flashing in my sight,
Vut the smile h not for my poor heart,
And the eye is strange to mi*-
And loneliness comes o’er my soul,
When memory tarns to thee!
I’m thinking on the nigh’, Mary—
-1 he night of grief ana sham-. —
When with drunken rav ngson my lipc,
To ibee I homeward came;
Oh ! the tear was in you-- earnest eye,
And your bosom wildly heayed.
Yet a smiie of love was on yodr cheek,
Though yonr htart was sorely grieved!
But the smite soon left your lips, Mary,
And your eye gr w dim and sad;
For the tempter lured my steps from thee,
And the wiae cup drove me mad :
From your cheek the roses quickly fled,
And your ringing laugh was cone,
Yetyour heart still fonily clung tome,
And still kept trusting on.
Oh! my words were harsh to thee, Mary,
For the wine cup made me wild;
And I chid thee when ycureyes were sad,
And I cursed you when you smiled;
God knows I loved thee even then,
But the flue was in my brain,
And the curse of drink was in my heart, r
To maike my love a bane.
’Twas a pie want home of ours, Mary, ■>
In the spring-time of oucl fe—
When Lfiookedapon your sunny face,
And proud'y cal ed you wl'e—
And ’twas pleasant when oar children played
Before our cottage door;
But the children sleep with thee, Mary—
I ne’er shall see them more;
Thou’rt resting in the church yard now,
And no stone is at thy head—
Bat the sexton knows a drunkard’s wife
Sleeps on that londy bed ;
And he says the hau l of God, Mary,
Will fall with crushing weight
On th: wretch who brought your guileless life
To its untimely fate !
But he knows not of the broken
I bear within my breast;
Or the he ivy load of vain remorse,
That will not let me rest,
He knows not of the sleepless nights,
When drtaming of your love,
I seem to see your angel eyes
Look co d y from above!
I have raised the wiae cap in my hand,
And the wildest strains I’ve sung,
Till the laugh of drunken mirth,
The echoing air has rung.
But a pale and sorrowful lace has looked
Erom out the cup on me.
Ami s trembling whisper I have heard
That I fancied came from thee!
Thou art slumbering In thy peaceful grave,
And thy sleep is breamless now—
But the seal of Dever-dying grief
Is on thy mourner's brow ;
And my heart Is chill as th’ne, Mary,
For the joys of lite are lied,
And I long to lay my aching breast

Silver and Gold Irom the (iilssni Capper Mines
In New Mexico
Yesterday we hail the opportunity of examining
some specimens of gold brought in by Mujor
Steen of tlio Unitod Mutes dragoons from the
vicinity of the Copper Mines in New Mexico, in
the neighborhood of Fort Webster, where ho hae
been stationed. The specimen is from surface
washing, but suiiicient to allow that the precious
metal exists there, and subsequent washings will
doubtless prove its existeuenn larger quantities.
Major Bteen has also a sample of tho gold found
on the river San Fedro, which empties into the
Oila river, from the south, in the Mexican provin
ce of Sonora, near whoro tho boundary line be
tween tho United States and M xico, aa projected
by Mr. Bartlett, strikes the Gila. The San i’edro
is the only stream entering the Gila from the south.
Beyond the mountains are the ranches of San Ber
nardino and Santa Cruz, aud on tho other side of the
San I’edro is Taos Leon, places mentioned by Col.
Cook in his Expedition to California. It is fr mi
thiß mine that gold bullets used by the Indians
aro procured. Mr. Aubrey alludes to them, and
Dr. Abadie, of the United Slates army, tent tome
of them to Major Walker, of this city.
The Mujor has also specimens of silver from tho
mines ofbaint Andrews, which aro supposed to be
the richest that haveyot been discovered. The spe
cimens were obtained by melting the otein un iron
ladlo iu a common fire. The mines are iu a north
east diroc:ion from Dona Ana, aud about eighty
miles from El Paso. Tho Major says that the sil
ver ore is smelted with as lunch ease aud facility
as the common galona.
110 represents tho whole country as abounding
in minoa of copper, iron aud oad, oniy requiring the
aid of capital and enterprise to make it the most pro
ductive section of the continent. Formorly the
Indians concealed from tiie Mexicans and Ameri
can traders the locality of their mines. Major Steen,
during bis residence there, was fori un ate enough
to gain their confidence solar as to be shown the
locality of several of their mines, aud thore lie
found the remains of the workings of tho Jesuits
many years ago.
in this connexion the Major mentions another
fuel illustrative of the abundance of gold iu that
rogion. Au Indian applied to him lor clothing.
Tho Major promised lo fnruirh what he wanted
if ho would bring him gold from tho Gila. The
Indian replied that it he had known it he could
have brought him “lmndfuils” from the late feat
of theGilenos, for it was plenty there. Ho went
away, and .n a few days returned with a pound or
more. The Major being absent, the Indian sold it
to an interpreter. Ufliim the Major obtainod liis
sample. Itisiu large lumpsor grains and unliko
the washings obtained iu California. There can be
no question that there is a mineral tract of country
on tne Gila that, will soon attract au immense popu
lation. —A'L Louis Jie/j. of Jan. 15.
Missionaries, Kt u ami Gunpowder.— Tho Now
Yorkers aro a strange set of Christians. A short
lime since they suit out six or eight teachers and
missionaries to tho coast of Africa, for the purpose
of instructing the natives in the ways of civiliza
tion aud Christianity. A friend of ours had the
curiosity to aualizo the cargo of the ship which
carried outthese missionaries. The total value of
the cargo, as copied from the Custom House books,
was as follows;
Rum $2,064
Gunpowder
Huts and shoes 314
Provisions 1,483
Boat, rigging,jspsrs, sails, &0., 1,792
*6,233 ”
Showing tint* more Ilian three-eighths of the entire j;
cargo was rum and gnnpovuler. Verily, the New 1
Yorkers send out their “heralds of peace and
good will,” with queer accompaniments.
Six Days to Ei rope.— Tho N. Y. Tribune sup- f
piiesthe following notice of the steamer couatru t- h
ing in that city to raako the voyage to Europe in v
six days: a
Tha new steamer Wm. Norris, which is to r
make the passage to Europe in five or six days, is s
rapidly approaching compleiion. Her outside is '.
nearly’ floished, and she will probably be afloat in 0
a fortbiglit. This vessel Is simply flat and sharp, 1
with a good model for running fast in smooth j
water. She is made unusually strong by having “
her timbors strapped diagonally with bars of iron, *'
and by an iron kolson, extending from the keel to P
tho deck, excepting in the central part ofthe vessel
devoted to the engine. This kelson is composed a
of two parallel sheots of iron, near halt an inch in °
thickness, less than a toot apart, and so fashioned 1
and connected as to form a water tank. On either j'
sido of this kelson are biigo kelsons, formed in the “
samo manner,also connecting with tho deck. _lt “
is expected that tbeso mmsnal supports will give tj
such an amount of strongtli and solidity to the t]
steamer as to make her excel all other vessels of a
similar dimensions. We are bouud to spenk with P
diffidence iu the presence of scientific naval nr- *<
ohitccts ; but our conviction is, that no more 11
strength is gained by this construction than would ’■
be by expending a fourth part of the money in a “
fabric of proper wooden supports. Tbo Arctic I 1
exploring vessels, and the Newfoundlnnl sealers, a
havo shown conclusively that wooden structures
are fully adequate to all demands upon thoir pow- e
ers ot resistance, and these are as great as sny to ®
w hicb any sea going croit can be subjected. In- J
deed, we donb. if wood and iron in tl;e combine- j
tions on board the Wm. Norris, will prove lo be 1
so effectual for strongth as either used by itself.— J
But tho main thing to be tested in this vessel is not j
hor ability to roaist the wind and waves of the At ‘
lantic, which she is vary likely to do successfully, j
but her model. If sire does not provo to bo too -
flat, and to draw too little water to be a good or J
sate sea boat, it will be a new experience in naval j
architecture.
Eire ut Savannah. —An alarm of fire was given t
yesterday, at about 5 o’clock, P. M. occasioned ’by t
tho burning of a small barn belonging to am rear i
of the residence of Mr. James R. Johnson, on Me- 1
Donough street, west of the old Cemetery. Be
fore the arrival of the engines the fire had extend- 1
ed to an adjoining tenement, occupied by a colored ;
family, and both buildings were completely envoi- 1
opted in flames. Being built ot wood, and very I
dry, they were eoon destroyed,—the persone oe- 1
cupying the house barely making their escape, ’
without saving their furniture. (
The buildings belonged to Mr. Johnson, on 1
which he held a policy of insurance for *250, in 1
the “ Southern Mutual,” W. King A Son, Agents. <
By the prompt arrival of the Firemen, and their s
well directed efforts, the flames were confined to t
the quarters described.
A vtulr Eire.— At about two o’clock this morn- 1
ing, a small grocery and dram shop, occupied by <
Richard Prendcrgast, situated on the Wost side of
West Broad street, on the brow of tho bill, north (
of Bay street, was discovered on fire. The alarm (
of tho street Watchman was p romptly echoed by
tho Watchman on the tower of the Exchange, and j
immediately followed by bells, rattles, Jcc.,inoth- ,
er directions. The firemen in full force, were |
promptly on the ground, but owing to the highly p
combustible material of the building and its con- j
tents, the whole was well-nigh destroyed beforj ,
the engines were brought to bear on the flames. ,
Several citizens with axes, Ac., did good service j
in tearing down h shanty occupied as noise stables
connected with the grocery, thereby preventing
thespreadof the fire.
Nothing, whatever, was saved from the grocery
—the horses in the shanty, however, were safely
removed. Mr. Prendergaat estimates his loss at
*2,000 on which he thinks he is insured *I.OOO or
*I,BOO. The building was owned by tbe Winkler
estate. It was of but little value. Whether in
sured, or how tbe Are originated, we could not
learn.— GeoraUn, Utiuet.
An Anomalt.—The editor of the Federal Union

w’ith the Whigs in their opposition to some of the
measures started by tbe present Administration,

all sophistry, it will cut more ways than one—and
the Democratic members of Congress, who former
ly voted with Freesoilers in their continued op
position to President Fillmore, are in the same
“ suspicious ” category. Aye, further, the skirts
of the “ illustrious” successor who presides over
this great nation, are rot altogether clear of the
same foul imputation—“strange and anomolous
as it may appear to the atorsaid editor. For h's
conduct, in unison with his FreesoilCabinetmem

MISCELLANY,
I From tne Jr. Yt Herald.
J Vaccination ;lalt a Prcventatirsor &tnall Pn.
f We publish the following facts as particularly
pertinent to the present universal prevalence of
smallpox. The remat ks were made by & surgeon
in answer to queries put to him by agedfteman on
ll* e occasion ot submitting to re-vaccination. We
advise every one to take the notice of thaw that
their excellent common sense demands,'HHbey
are made by a man who is a well known enemy of
medical cant and deception, viz:—the editor of
the Scalpel;—
TO THE EDITOB OF THK KtRILD.
In answer to repeated requests of a public ex
position of my opinions with regard to the pre
ventative power of vaccination, and how I account
for the present extensive prevalence of small pox.
1 reply— ’
Ist, That vaccination is unquestionably a <4ry
powerful preventative is shown unanswerably
tfom the fact that history proves that the mortali
ty, having formerly been so frightful as to sweep
ctr more than half of all persons exposed, has
been sc far reduced by vaccination, when even
imperfectly or very careles-ly performed, as not to
exceed five per cent., and that this smalt propor
t.on is still farther reduced, even in those who are
seemingly not su'Ceptiblo to full and satisfactory
vaccination.
2d. Are there any persons to whom the vaccine
vescicle cannot be communicated .’—cud if so, arc
thoso per-omdiible W small pox! It has been,
supposed that those persons who are inoculated,
i. e. wi h the virus of lymnji of the small pox, ta
ken in the natural way, (a”roeess, since the dis
covery of cow poxfotbiddeu by law)-as well as
those who have once had the disease, were not li
able to a second attack. This is certainly incorrect,
I have, within a fortnight past, succeeded in pro
ducingtwo very perfect vaccine vesicles in two
persons much pitied from a natural and sev.re at
tack several years since. They were both ser
vants in the fittniliesof two of my patients; and
what is singular, they were the pnly two full and
complete vssciclet, having all the proper character •
Istics in the vaccination of the infant, amongßt
seventeen nersous, the united number of the two
families, Severn! of thesevtsiclcs, however, pre
sented snch marked characteristics as to assure me '
the parties were liable to greater or lesser degrees
of small pox or to varioloid, as we call it; and
several were entirely unsusceptible, the vesiclo
not showing itself; m these it wassnnposed the
former or infautine vaccination bad protected
them. This, however, cau only be fully proved
by again vaccinating them, as it is impossible to
say but some hidden came, not ascertainable in
any other wsy, might bavo prevoDtod the virus
from showing the distinctive characteristics.
Bd. How do 1 account for its unusual prevalence
this year?
In answer, there is undoubtedly an atmospheric
predisposition existing at this time. My reasoning
la simply this:—All the inhabitants of our city,
take them one with another, are as we 1 protected
this year as the last. Small pox existed last year
a ■ d does more or less every y e «r, to an extent suf
ficient to spread all over the city. The fact is, it
will in a year spread as extensively from six cases
as from sixty: and will manage to catch an im
mense majority of those who ore not protected, i
Now this season small pox is vustly morof preva
lent than it Las been within forty years: indeed,
it is so much more so, that we have no rational
cause left than atmospheric predisposition for its
great increase.
The only safe method in this disease is to Jvae- !
einate the same porson several times, or as long as
the sore is produced, with the distinctive charac
ter of the vaccine vesicle or cow pox.
The proof oftho genuineness of the vesicle is
this, viz: on the oigluh day from tho insertion of
the matter, (which process should never draw a
full drep of blood, for more would wash it away,) -
the sore should present the following appearance:
An oval centre of a brownish color, a lignt circle
of pearly verictos, containing Ihe lymph, or sp-ci- -
fle matter, and a rose colored blush, extending
from the outer circle of this pearly border all r
around it, and fading imperceptibly into the sur
rounding skin. Unless it presents more or less of
this appearance it is only a common sore, and in *
nowise protective. Just in proportion a3 it ap
proaches the above appearance it is perfect. I oon- ‘
sidertwo or three trials, with good reliable lymph
on-the quill, taken from the sixth to the ninth day,
and inserted without drawing a full drop of blood, J
sufficient, ff it do not take f consider that per I
son sufficiently protected by the former vaccina
tion. I would certainly, however, rcvaceiuato ‘
overy few years, fn the eleventh number of the
Scalpel there is a popular article on this subject, to '
which we refer all readers dosirous of investigating
the few known facts ir. tho history of the disease. t
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Edward H. Dixon. t
Editor of the Scalpel, 42, Fifth avenuo. t
In ounec'-ion with this communication we give t
an article from the London Medical Times and *
Gazette, headed
CoMPUhsonv Vaounation.—The proportion of v
deaths from Binall pox in Loudou is three times, y
and in Glasgow six times, what it is iu Brussels, t
Berlin, or Copenhagen. Os each one thousand a
persons who die in England and Wales, twenty
two die ot small pcx—of each one thousand |per c
sons who die in Ireland, forty-nine die of small y
pox—while of each oue thousand pen ona who die y
m Lombardy, only two die of small pox. The pro [,
Kortiouate mortality, then, from small pox in Eng- „
ind and Wales, is eleven times, and iu Ireland |
twenty-four times greater than it is in Lombardy. r
Whence conies this dltfcronco ? In England, those s
who please take their children to be vacoinated— j
in Lombardy, vaccination is compulsory. The
proportionate mortality in England and Wales is J
three times greater than what it is in any country j
in which tho inhabitants are compelled; by law to
have their children vaccinated. These are great ,
facts. In our metropolis one thousand persons a
die unnually of small pox, if vaccination wero s
compulsory, it is indisputable that tho number of c
deaths Irom this dirc.iso in London would ho re
duced to two or three hundred perannum. From 'y
six to eight hundred thus dio evory year, in the 0
metropolis alone, whose lives might be saved by an
act of Parliament.
Death of Washington.
Wo find the followiug ou the doath of Washing- ,
ton iu the New York Courier <fc Enquirer of the t
6th nit-., which even at this distant day cannot fail
to be of intorest to the reader:
“Proceeding still farther over a very bad road, ,
we came suddenly in view of the Potomac; and |
Mount Vernon, with its mansion liouseand smooth |
green lawn, was before us. Having tent in our ,
address, we received permission from the courts- •
oih branch of tho family, who now held the es- .
tate, to enter and survey the interior, We were ;
struck, with its extrome simplicity, the lowness j
of the walla and ceilings, and the bare floors ;
which were waxod, not ns with ns, carpeted.
“Passing through the great hall, ornamented
with pictures of English hunting i cer.es, wo as- ,
conded the oaken stair case, with its carved and ,
antique balustrade ; we stood at the door—wo ]
pressed the handle—the room and tho bed where (
he died were before us. Nothing iu the lofty
drama of his existence, surpassed the grandeur of
that final scene ; tho cold which he had taken
from oxposuro, in overseeing some part of his ,
grounds, and which had resisted the earlier do
mestic remedies that were applied, advanced in j
tho course of two short days into that frightful i
form of tho diseaso of the throat, laryngitis. It
became necessary for him to Inko to his bod. His
valued friend, Dr. (Jraik, was instantly summoned
and assisted by tho best medical skill of tho sur- |
rounding country, exhausted all the means of his |
art, but without affording him relief. He patient- .
ly submitted, though ill great distress, to the vari- |
o’us remedies proposod, but it became evidontfrom ,
the deep gloom settling upon the countenances of ■
tho medical gentlemen, that the ease was hope
less; advancing iusiduously, the diseaso had faH .
toned itself with deadly certainty. Looking with
perfect calmness npon the sobbing group around .
him, he said: —“Grieve not my friends :itis as I ,
anticipated from tho first; the debt which we all ]
owe, is sow about to bo paid ; lam resigned to ]
the event.” Requesting Mrs. Washington to bring
two wills from his escritoire, ho directed one to bo
burnt, and placed the other in her hands, as his '
last tostament, and then gave some final instrnc- !
tions to Mr. Lear, his secretary and relative, as to
tho adjustment of his business affairs. Ho soon
after became greatly distressed; and, as in the
paroxyisms which became more frequent and vio- j
lent, Mr. Lear, who wes at h ! s side, assisted him
to turn, he with kindness but with difficulty, ar- |
ticulatod—“l fear I give you great trouble, sir— 1
but—perhaps, it is a duty which wo all owe one 1
to anotiicr—l trust that you may receive the same :
attention when you shall require it.”
“As the night waned, the fatal symptoms be 1
came moro imminent—iiis breath more labored 1
and suffocating, and his voice soon failed him.— j
Perceiving his end approaching, ho stretched
himself to his full length, he folded hisown hands
in the necessary attitude upon hi 3 chest —; lacing 1
bis finger upon the pulse of his left wrist, and '
thus eulrnly prepared, and watching hisowndisso
lution, he awaited the summons of his Maker.—
The lost faint liopo of his frieuds had disappeared;
Mrs. Washington, stupified with grief, rat at the
foot of the bed, her eyes fixed steadfastly upon
him; D.\ Craik, iu deep gloom, stood with his
face buried in his hands at tho fire ; his faith
ful black servant, Christopher, the tears uncon
trolled, trickling down his face, on one side, toek
the lost look of his dying master ; while Mr. Lear
in speechless griof, with folded hands, bent over
hie pillow ou tne other.
“Nought broke the stillness of his lost momenta
but the suppressed sobs of the affectionate ser
vants collected on the stair ca3e ; the tick of the
large clock in the hall as it measured off with
painful distinctness, the last fleeting moments of
his existence, and the low moan of the winter
wiud, as it swept through the leafless snow cover
ed trees. The laboring and wearied spirit drew
nearer and nearer to its goal ; the blood languid
ly coursed slower and more slowly through its
channels —the noble heart stopped—struggled—
stopt—fluttered—the right hand slowly slid from
the wrist, upon which its Huger has been placed—it
fell at the side—and the manly effigy of Washington
was all that remained extended upon the death
couch 1” S.
Fire Proof Buildinus.—The Journal of Com
merce has some sensible remarks on the danger of
fire from the present mode of building. It says:
“Os late years there have been no large fires in
London, and in Paris it is well known that if a fire
takes place, it seldom extends beyond a single
room in dwelling houses. In large cities of the
United States, firo6 often sweep with devastating
fury over large districts. The exemption enjoyed
abroad, and the injury suffered here, are due to
the mode of constructing houses. Abroad they
are built with much greater solidity than here, and
with far less of inflammable material. Stone and
iron staircases, partition walls of brick, doable
walls, floors supported on arches, slate or tile roofs,
and heavy walls) mark the architecture of London
and Paris. In the United States, and with the
most important class of bouses, a dwelling is com
monly a wooden structure surrounded wuh brick
or stone walls, which, in case of fire, serve to ex
clude the water thrown from the engines, from
reaching the well-hidden work. It is very sel
dom, therefore, that any part of such a tenement
is saved in case of fire."
To remedy this dangerous defect in the mode
ofbuilding, which furnises an almost unbroken
t.assage-way for tire from the cellar to the roof, the
Journal proposes the erection of a brick wall all
around, within the outside wall, on which the
floors, &c„ may rest, and brick partitions instead
vs those made of joists, lathes aud plaster: also;
iron stairways and inner shatters of iron. The
plan of building an inner wall, or building
houses with hollow walls, has been tried in Boston
with good success.
The rooms are dryer and warmer, the expense

We do not know that the plan is tried to any ex

buildings are constructed on this plan, with the
addition of an inch or two of mortar between the

trade, and the safety of the then priees. The re

the decrease iu the receipts isalrcady 472,000ba1es
down to the 21et December, of which tho decrease
at New Orleans alone ie 840,000 bales; the ship
ments to England from dl ports arc only 155,000
bales to the samo date against 404,000 last year.
The oonßequenco is a scarcity of ootton in the Li
verpool market, whilo the diminished production
of yarrs and goods has ead a similar effect on tbs
Manchester market; and nearly every branch of
the trade has, therefore,been characterized, as an
ticipated, by great firmness ou the part of holders,
and an advancing teudmey iu prices, which lias

Or, per week 28,861 8,851 87,211
This amount, howtvar, is very far below the
present mill power of the country. During ranch
of the early part of the year, though the mills
then in operation were at full work, the consump
tion of Colton was considerably reduced by the
unromunorating prices current for tho lower, and,
therefore, heavier descriptions of Varns and Goods,
which induced thoso Spinners who could do so
without great disadvantage to change to finer num
bers, thuß consuming much lees Cotton, and led
the manufacturers ol Domestics to an extensive
adoption of short time. Any estimate of the re
duction of the consumption caused by these cir
cumstances is necessarily vague and unreliable,
but I think there are good grounds for supposing
thut it may havenmouuted to 80,000 bales till June
last. Next came the Stockport turn-out, which is
generally supposed to have further reduced con
sumption while it lasted by 40,000 bales; and more
recently the reduction consequent upon the exten
sivelock-outs at Preston, Wigan, Burnley, Bury,
Bacup, Ac, and the short time which has
prevailed in other districts may, I think, be safely
assumed to have reduced consumption by 100,000
bales. Adding these three vnioauts together will
give a total reduction of 220,000 bales, or 4,200 per
week, and adding that amsunt to the actual con
sumption of 87,210 hales per week for the year, as
stated above, Bhows the spinning power of the
couutry during the past year to have been equal to
-41,400 ba%* of. Cotton. This, b 'wever, applies to
the average of the year, and as many mills have
only quite recently been pnt in operation, and
have therefore, as 'ft done nothing, aud many
mere are yot unfinished, which could soon be com
pleted if a demand for their services arose, these
have to be added in forming any estimate of the
quantity of Cotton which the country could in fu
ture work up.
Were the supply of Cotton and of labor sufficient
ly abundant, and tho demand for manufactures
large enough to take iff so great a quantity at re
munerative ratee to the makers, I think the mill
power which is now, aud could be brought into
play during the ensuing year, would be equal to a
consumption of 43,600 or 44,000 bales por week.
The force of this observation will betbo moro ap
parent when we contrast these figures with tho
weekly consumption of previous years, which iu
1850 was 29,125ba1e5; in 1851, 81,979 bales; in
1852, 35,799 bales; and during the pust year 87,
211 bales.
The stock of Cotton in the kingdo n bosavoragd

American, 878,171 and is now 808,870 bales.

Other kinds, 8,496 “ 5,029 “
Total. 29,240 87,211 “
By which It, is apparent that tho stock, parlicu
larly of American, nears a much smaller propor
tion than usual to tho consumption, and the dls
proportion Is much greater in the Middling and
better qualities, of which it is estimated that only
about one fourth of the stock of American consists.
The deficiency in the quantity now afloat from the
United Status is still greater, being estimated at
about 200,000 bales less than same time last year.

Prospects.— Enoouragcd by the accuracy of my
viows under this head during tho past year, I may
again venture to point to the circumstances now
bearing upon the market, and to indicate their pro
bable effect upon prices for the next few months.—
Beyond that period, it would, under present cir
cumstances, be presumptuous to attempt predic
tions, so much thereafter, will depond npon the re
sult of the crop, and the prospect-- of our own and
the continental harvests. There now exist many
BtroDg grounds for confidence. Tho stock ot
American cotton, as shown above, is only 808,870
bales, or equal to II weeks consumption, and but a
small portion of this is good working kinds,
against an average stock of that description, at lira
period for the past ten years, equal to 16 weeks of
the then uverageconsumption. In the prospective
supplies for some months to come, the comparison
is equally adverse, as will be apparent by a refer
ence to tho above statement of the deficiency in
the receipts at tho American ports, in tho ship
ments to Eugland, and in the quantity afloat, all of
which influences are likely to continue in opera
tion for several months to come, as even yet the
orders going out from this side r re generally at
per lb uuder the present rates heie and Ameiica,
and while so great a decrease iu the receipts con
tinnes, it is questionable if holders will consent to
sell at such a reduction ; nor is it probable that
they will, in the face of our present political rela
tions to the rest ol Europe, feel disposed to pay the
high rates of freight which are likely to prevaif and
venture upon their own account, so large a quanti
ty over aud above their usual consignments to
this country, as would raise the shipments to any
thing near the rate of last year. Looking then, at
the prospect of supply, there is every reason for
confidence in the stability of prices, and, perhaps,
even in their continuing to tend upwards in the
gradual manner ot the recent advance The demand
will doubtless continue for eotne ti me restricted con
siderably below the mill power uow in existence,
in consequence of the conflict still going on, seem
ingly with little prospect of an early settlement be
tween employeraaua employed ; and of the re
duced consumption of goods, especially on the con
tinent, owing to the high price of food; but on the
other hand, Hie extreme caution which was
caused by the fear of war and the advancing value
of money, has created for a long time, bo great a
suspension of all transactions which it waa possi
ble to defer, that the wants of the world have been
insufficiently supplied. The tendedey of the ex
changes is now more favorable to England Gold
is arriving freely from Australia ard California,
whence the accounts come as favorable as ever—
There is, with a restricted business, and almost
total absence of speculation, less demand for
money; and it Unbecoming cheaper; and finally,
we have got into a more hopeful quarter of the year.
Under all these circumstances, it seems reasonable
to conclude that legitimate business may, for the
present, be proceeded with, with lees of the hesita
tion aud distrust which have recently prevailed. 1
do not forget the danger of the war in the East,
but I conceive it has already Bad all the effect
it can have, at least till summer. War does not
so much prevent the consumption of goods, es
it unhinges commerce, and reduces the stocks of
dealers to the minimum point. That point, how
ever, once readied, it become comparatively
innocuous. _
New Printin'* Press—A new printing Press,
called the “Self-Feeding and Self-Registering
Power Press,” has been on exhibition in Boston
for several days. It feeds itself, works both sides
of the sheets if desired, and drops the sheet when
printed instead of throwing it olt The paper is
wet upon a reel and roiled off, as in the case of the
telegraph slip, and cut by the press itself to the
right size. It performs doable the amount of
“Hoe’s Cylinder Press” at the same speed. It is
provided with a register, which accurately counts
the sheets and tokens. A bell strikes at the com
pletion of every token, and an alarm dial may be set
to any number ofsbeets or tokens desired. These
are some of ite peculiarities, which are regarded as
quite wonderful. The inventor is Mr. Carpen’er.

The precise cause of the explosion no one re
mains to explain. It is kuown, hoivever, that tho
stove used for warming tho building was rod hot,
the day being cold; aud from the highly combiu
tibie materials which were used in close proximity
toil, it may readily be accounted lor by suppo
sing sorno particle ignited on tho floor, and com
municating with the articles in various stages cf
preparation, caused tho explosion.
\V ithin a few feet of tho building is a fireproof
coll, in which is stored large quantities of pow
dor; aud this being within the Hcopo ot the smoke
and flames of the burning ruins, no-one was will
ing to hazard an approach, to attempt to rescue
tho sufferers from the ruins for some timo after
the cxplosion took place.

It may be mentioned to tho credit of Dr. Saad
ford aud Dr. Beyliss, that they both hastened to
tho spot, and did all that humanity and skill
could suggest to alleviate the agonies of the suff, r
ers. All, howover wero past their aid but one, a
man named John Smith, about thirty years of age,
who was brought to tho New York Hospital ju the
steamboat Kaveuswood in so mutilated a condition
that death would be but a relief. Ilisjawaud both
legs were broken, his arm fractured, and ho waa
otherwise seveiely injured. Ho was alive Inst
night at a late h. ur, but was not expected to live
till this morning.
An inquest will be held by Coroner Boyd with
as little delay as passable; but from the fact that
of all who were in the building not one is left to
say how it oconrred, but little inoie light is ex
pected to bo thrown upon it.
ANOTHER AND STILL LATHI ACCOUNT.
Another reporter his returned from the soeno of
calamity, and makes the following leport:—
About ten minutes past one o’elook yesterday
afternoon the patent cartridge manufactory owned
by Mr. French, at Kavenswood, Long Island, was
blown up, and some fifteen or twenty persons,
mostly boys and females, were instuntly killed.
The shock occasioned by the explosion was Ire 1
mendons, and was sensibly felt at a distance of six
or eight miles ; aud during yesterday aftornoon a
report wascurreut in Williamsburg and Brooklyn
that an earthquake had takon place somewhere up
on tho island.
The scene at Bavenswood beggais description.
The building occupied by Mr. French for the man
ufacture ofFrenoh’s rifle cartridges was a one-story
wood building, tweuty by twenty five feet square,
which was blown into fragments, and not a single
stick oonid bo found that a child could not lift.
There were about twenty persons—mostly boys
and females—ln tbe building, engaged in filling
and packing cartridges, all ot whom, with one or
twoexcopticns, wore instantly killed.
About six o’clock last evening, scon after our re
porter arrived at tbe socne, he saw conveyed away
two lime barrels nearly filled with| frogir.eutsof bo
dies, which had been gathered up in tho virility.
It is supposod that there were about twenty per
sons in the building, and but throo wero known
to have been taken out alive.
It is Baid that tbe fire originated in the northeast
cornor of tho building, iu the opposite end of the
building from the stove, but from wbat cause is
unknown.
There were over 5 >,COO ball cartridges made
up in the building besides a considerable quanti
ty of powder. The cartridges nearly all exploded,
aud the ba'ls were thrown in every direction ;
but providentially no person out of the building was
seriously injured. Oi.e of the balls passed through
a pr.ne of giass into the library room of Mr. B .dine
a distance of one eighth of a mile, and shattered
tho chaudalicr.
Tbedwelliug houses withiua circuit of a mile were
more or less injured, having the class entirely bro
ken, out and in several instances the walls were
damaged. Mr. French’s house, which is aboutthir
ty rod- from tho factory, was very much damaged;
the windows and a portion ofthe furniture hav
ing been dcstroyoJ, and a second story front room
was tho only one which tbe family could occupy
lost night.
Attho time of the accident, Mr. French was cn-
Saged at work in a small buildiugsomo titteon rods
iatant, and narrowly escaped with his life. A
furnace, near whore he was standing was broken
to pieces and his hat was carried away and could
not be found; he also received several slight
brulsee nbon tho fuoo and body from mis.-tios
which were hurled in all directions.
We were informed by Mr. French that one of
his boys, a few days since, in emptying out some
kegs of powder, discovered two matches which
had been paekod up with it.
Persons who were in tho City Ilnll of Williams
burg telt the Bhock, and it was the genoral im
pression that it was occasioned by au earthquake.
The excitement in the vicinity of tho c en tity
was very great during the afternoon, and the
scene was heart-rending.
ThoCoronor’s inquest takes place to day, at ll*-
venawood, when tho full particulars of this drotid
ful affair will be ascertained.
Tha Mexican Treaty.
That portion of tho subjoined letter, from the
special Correspondent of the Baltimore American,
which relates to the Mexican Treaty, will bo. read
with interost,
“ Washington, Jan. 29.—The exoitement iu ro
tation to the Nebraska Bill, Is spreading. Mr.
Badger openly declares that ho cannot vote for it,
because tho faith of tho South is plighted to the
preservation of the Missouri Compromise. The
.Nebraska Bill is to come upin tho Senate to mor
row as the order of the day, but au effort wlil be
made to postpone it slid further.
The Cabinet held a four hour’s pession yester
day relative to the Gadsden Treaty. The manifts
tationsof dissatisfaction with it are so decided in
certain quarters, that it is by no means certain that
it will be sent to the Senate after all. A day or
two, however, will decide.
Tho treaty does Dot obtain territory enough to
suit a portion of the Cabinet, and now that Walter
and his fillibusters arc believed to have teen suc
cessful, it is urged with much foroe that Santa
Anna will probably be more ready than ho was a
month ago, to throw iu Lower California, and all
of Sonora, for tire twenty millions he is after.
It is also atgued that a treaty ought not to be
made, giving Santa Ant a money to support an
army with, while these filibustering operations—
which iu the end may command the sympathies of
a large portion of our people—present him an ex
cuse or a temptation to turn his armies against us.
Gentlemen who Uke these positions, urge the
propriety of sending Mr. Gadsden back wuh in
structions to mako another effort to obtain Lower
California, and, perhaps, the Sierra Madre as the
boundary line between the United States and
Mexico.
My own impression is that the President will
throw the responsibility on the Senate, by sending
in the Treaty, leaving it to tho Senate to make an
amendment, if it chooses, embodying the pro
iosed demand for additional territory. It will not
ie strange it Mr. Gadsden should return speedily
on this supplemental mission which Buch action
would render neceepaty. The effort will be made
to secu re some immediate action by the Senate, if
the treaty is sent in.
A Court of Inquiry has been ordered by the
President to examine into all the tacts relating to
the wreck of the San Francisco, and the conduct of
the army officers and troops who were on board.
The Court will be composed of Major General
Winfield Scott, as President, Gen. Stanton of the
Quartermaster’s Department, and Col. Sumner of
the Dragoons, who will sit in New York on the
first Monday in February.
The following order has just been issued by the
War Department, by direction of the Secretary,
making changes in the uniform for enlisted men:
1. Sty blue will be substituted for “Saxony
blue,” for til trimmings for the infantry.
2. Metallic Scales will be issned to all arms in
lieu of Epaulettes.
8. A cord or welt of the prescribed color will be
substituted for the cap bands, and coat facings,
now used.
4. Cord on the trousers will be dispensed with.
5. Tbesame button will boused for all corps, to
wit: that now used for the Infantry, omitting the
1 in the shield.
6. A jacket according to pattern in the clothing
bureau, will be substituted for the frock coat, for
all mounted men.
7. Letters and numbers on the horse equip
ments will be dispensed with.
A Good One—An Indiana correspondent of
the Alexandria (Virgins) Gazette sends the fol
lowing to that paper, with appropriate vouchings
of its 'truth :
At the breaking of ground far the commence
ment of the Lynchburg and Tennessee Railroad,
at Lynchburg, the Rev. J. E., by appointment,
acted as chaplain on the occasion. At the time
appointed for prayer, the chaplain raised Mb
hands and said : “set us pray.” In an instant all
hate were doffed, and the chaplain commenced
slowly and solemnly, to read a very appropriate
manuscript prayer, which he had previously pre
pared. During the reading of the prayer, an old
negro who haa been engaged with his spade, was
resting, with one foot on the spade, and his arms
on the handle looking very intently in the chap
lain’s face. At the conclusion of the prayer, the
old negro, straightening himself up, remarked au
dibly. “Well, I reckon dat’s de fast time de Lord

The end of this has been that the Kneeir' V'Ave
suflered a defeat apparently of a far more cornylete
character, if such be possible, than that which 1 1 oy
experiencedatOltemtza. Tlienewsis thatonthis
day woek Omer Pa ha attacked them in their in
trenohments at Citale, took the placo by storm with
a loss to the Russians of 2500 men, and then drove
back a reiuforcoaient of 18,000 marcliingto the res
cue of their assaulted comrades.
No other dotsiis have been received, as tho in
telligence at presont is merely telegraphic. It was
oonveved iu tiio first place to Belgrade and then
from Belgrado to Vienna, whence it reached Lon
don this morning by tie wires. The number of
Turkish troops engaged was 15,000.
It is to bo assumed that this announcement is
from the Turkish side. It may, therefore bo re
ceived with any qualifications rendered necessary
on that account. At tho same time the remark
must bo made that the Turks thus fur liavo not
spread any stories ol false victories, or attempted
to magnify real onus. Tho battle at Oltenitza turn
ed out to have been quilo as fatal to tho Russians
as was at first reported.
Thore are likewise other circumstances that load
to the supposition of the recent successes of Omer
Pasha having been iu the aggregated a vory deci
sive character. Rumors of severe disasters ou tho
part of the Russians havo helped during tho past
few weeks to produce considerable disquiot at Vi
onna, the chief circumstances on which these wore
founded having been tho largo numborof wounded
men brought m to tho principal stations of the
Russian army.
Whenever a defoat occurs, not a word respecting
it is allowed to transpire, but the surgeons are able
to surmise what has happened, and they arc in the
habit of communioaling their inferences in a man
ner that is easily understood at tho Austrian capi
tal. It appears also that five days before tho bnttlo
of Citale, the Sultan had officially announced to the
representatives of England, Franco, Austria and
Prussia the receipt of advioes of anew and impor
tant advantage gainod by his troops, even at that
time.
The fact that tho Wailaehian peasantry are
known to have risen against the Russians, is also
an indication of something having occurred to
stimulate their courage, while a multitude of dis
jointed statements, many of them probably erro
neous, but all tending iu the same direction, which
have been circulating from various sources during
the last week, some of them mentioning tho cap
turo of the town of Karakal, near ICrajovn, and
others that tho Russians have hastily evacuated 1
the entire district of Lesser Wullaohin. in order to
save themselves from being destroyed in detail, are *
sufficient to complete the conviction that events of <
great importance have takon place. i
W bother tho victories in question may be looked
upon as tending toward peace or an extension of
the war is a point on which few are disposod to r
vontnre an opinion. By the last accounts from St. t
Petorsburgh it seems that the Emperor was alleged
to be in considerable irritation, and if this be true
it may bo apprehended that the dofeat of Citale
will producu on exacerbation. His consolation after ,
his reverse at Oltenitza, was that tho Turks wore
behind stone walls, and that sueh a result had on
snoil whioh could never hove happened in an open
field.
That they have now beaten him while they were
exposed to all the disadvantages of an attacking
party, is a fact that may well bo expected to annoy
him." It is true that ho may yet fall back on the
reflection that in Asia tho Ottoman foroos have
been completely routed, for there appears now to
be little donbt on that bead, bat this will hardly
compensate for anything connected with the army
of the Danube, since it is to the latter pointthat the
eyes of th < world are directed.
About tbe same time as at that at which tho fatal
news from the Danube will reech him, tho Empe
ror will likewise be informed of tbe entry of the
allied fleets in the Black Sea, while to add to his
mortification, hie doubts about tho fidolity of Aus
tria will be augmented by a statement that the
influence of Prince Matternioh has lately beeu
exerted with success, in pointing oat to tbe Vienna
Cabinet the danger which Germany at large mast
sustain if his proceedings be aided or oven tolera
ted. Under these circumstances the nature of his
immediate resolutions mußt bo altogether boyond
the scope of rational conjcotnre.
Still there arc somo grounds to hope that ho will
preler anything to an actual collision with Franoc
and England. He is said to have ordered all his
ships in the Black Sea to return to Scbnstopal, so
as to get out of the way of mischief; and by this
abandonment of what ho has hitherto termod a
Rus-inn lake, while ho still hesitates to protost
aguiust its invasion by recalling his ambassadors
from London and Puris, ho shows a discretion suf-
indicate somo degree of prudence or c.ra
ningSP
Os course his great rcilancc wid still bo upon
tho possibility of gaining furthor time by some
new evasion—such as accepting the proposed con
ference with a determination that it shail load to
nothing—but it is to be hoped that tho experience
of Ids former impostures will cause the alliod pow
ers to dictate to him with a promptness that shall
loave nothing dependent upon his honor.
Tho stock market during the past few days has

Spectator.
The four powers havo folly concurred iu thoSul
tun’a reply to their noto, and his declaration is to
bo transmitted immediately to St. Petersburg. This
communication is the ultimatum ot Tnrkey and
her allies.
The times of tho 13th inst. gives the following
account of the difficulty between England ana
Persia and its settlement:—
The most important intelligence which we have
received from the East to-day concerns onr rela
tions with Persia. A quarrel had arised betwoou
the British oharge de’Affaircs at Teheran arid the
Persian Court, with rcforonce to tho affairs of one
Hadji Abdul Kerim, a native of Candahar, protected
by the British Government. This person, who is
a man of great wenltb, has demands upon the Per
sian Government which it has boon the duty offlie
British legation to support.
The Persian Government, on tho other hand,
claimed him as its own subject, liable to all such
exactions as it might please tho Shah to put upon
him, and at length refused with so much insolenco
to grant the redress which the case required, that
the British charge d’affaires, Mr. Taylour Tomp
son, was compelled to suspend diplomatic rela
tions with the Ministers ofthe Shah. The effect of
this spirited measure was prompt and effectual.
Within a very short time the ’ Persian Govern
ment showed it readiness to comply with his de
mands, and to restore friendly relations with En
gland. Tho tables were completely turned on
Prince Dolorouki, the Russian Minister, and al
though ho threatened the Shall of Persia with tho
supreme displeasure of the Czar, his master, exort
ed every means to restore Russian influence, tho
British charge d’affaires remains, for the present,
master ofthe field.
This arrangement seems to have included also
an amicable settlement of some disputes which
had arisen between Persia and Turkey, for since
then the Turkish Minister at Teheran has received
positive assurances from the Sudder Azim, or Firet
Minister of the Sbab, that no movements of troopß
hostile to the Ottoman empire will bo mado by
Persia, and that the forces concentrated in the
Northern provinces of the kingdom are placed
there solely to watch tin progress of events, und to
prevent internal disturbances.
Vienna, Jan. 12.—Rumors of fresh successes by
the Turkish army in Wallachia have alarmed Vi
enna to day. It is commonly believed that the
Government is in possession of intelligence most
unfavorable to Russia, p is also generally stated,
though this seems unlikely, that the ETnperor of
Austria will leave Vienna tor Warsaw this even
ing in order to have a conference with the Empe
ror of Russia on the Eastern question.
It appears that the Atfgnan Envoy left Teheran
before the arrival of the new R issian Plenipoten
tiary, with a threat that if Persia formed an alli
ance with Russia the Affghans would invade the
Persian territory.
Constantinoele, Jan. I.— The news that an im
portant advantage bad been won by the Ottoman
army at Kalafat was officially announced to the
representatives ofthe powers.
A convoy carrying 15,000 men to reinforce the
army in Asia will set out for Batouin ond the

and a'most immediately parted in the middle and
broke up; no lives lost.
So great was the weight of snow on some build

three lives were lost by this cause.
Loss or the Packet ship Prince Albert.— The
ship Norfolk, from Madras, arrived at Queens
town, fell in with the packet ship Prince Albert,
from New \ork tor London, in a sinking condi
tion, and took off Capt. Bradish, his crew snd sev
enteen passengers, and landed them at Queens
town. W hen the Norfolk fell in with the wreck
thelat. was 48, lon. 15.
The Prince Albert was a fine ship, built in New
York in 1848, was 894 tons burthen, and belonged
to Messrs. Griuneli, Mintorn & Co.’s line of New
York and London packets. She was valued at
$40,000; the cargo about SBO,OOO. Both ship an 1
cargo are largely insured in Wall street.

Small Pox in Charleston.— We learn from the

tion with ail tho members of tho profession, as to
the number of cases ol small pox und vari loid at
present existing in the city. They find that the
total rmmbor of cases at present under treatment
amounts to 64. Os these 84 are cases of varioloid,
and 30 eases of small pox in unvaccinated peruana.
Os the 64, there are 12 whiten, 7 of which are small
pox in unvaccinated persons, and 5 are varioloid.
Ofthe remaining 52, all o* whom are blacks, there
are 23 cases of small pox, and 29 eases of varioloid.
The committee are further induced to believe
that within the last fortnight th - number of new

years ago, it is, however, well worth repeating:
A lot of idlers stood upon tho end of a pier
which ran out into the Hudson river, in one of :he
small towns near Albany, a few days ago, amus
ing themselves with hurling stones into the broad
stream, each vieing with the other in endeavoring
to pitch a missile at the iatherest distance from
the shore, when n toll rttggod built Vormouler, di
rect front the Green Hills, suddenly made his ap
poarance in their midst, and for a while remained
a quiet obsorvor of their movements. lie was a
brawny, strong looking Y'ankoe, and was very de
cently clad. Tho efforts of the little party had
beon exhibited over and over again, when tho
stranger quickly picked up half II brick which lay
near him, and giving it a.fork it 101 l into tho wutor
a long way beyond the lino which had as yet beon
reaohed by the foremost of tho crowd. At tho
conrlu-ion of this feat a loud bravo went up from
half ft dozen voices around him.
It was a clear day in Octobor, and tho mon, de
termined iot to be outdone, ronowed their at
tempts; but tlio Vormouler, without saying a sylla
ble to anyone, ooutinued to pitch pebbles tar into

in a groon jacket, the apparent loader ol the gang
who declared he wouldn’t be beaten by a “loller

“Mi! Wal, 1 hails from Vermont, jes now
friend!”
“Hu’nt been in thoso pnrts long, I reckon?"
“Wul—no. Not edzaetly ytre— but tip and
dnown sorter.”
“Yes—so I ’sposed.”
“Yaas,” continued tho green’un, carelossly, and
seizing a big billot ot wood he twirled it ov’or his
head, and it lunded several rods from the shore in
tho water.
“Y’ou’vo a little strength in your arms, noighbor.’
Some ‘punkins’ in them flippers, stranger. Up
In our town, moro’n a mouth ago, I driv them aro
knuckles slrat thru a board, mor’n n niuch ’null'
thick 1”
“Haw—bawl” shouted his honrers, tho mail in
the green jacket laughing loudest.
“May bo you don’t b’liovo it.”
“Not much,” answered tho crowd.
“Wo aint very green down here in York— w*
aint,”said the fellow in the green jucket; “we’ve
been nbont, you see,”
"Wal ’jes you just look yore, friond,” continued
ho Vermonter, in tho most plnusiblo munner, “up
in aour eaoutitry, wo’vo a purty big river, consid
ering—lnyun river, it’soallod and may bo you’ve
heard on it. Wal, I hove a mun clean across the
river t’othor day, and he cauto daown fair and
square t’other sido.”
“Hi, ha, ha!" yelled his auditors.
“Wal, naow, yow may lass, but Ikon dett it
again.”
“Do what ?” said green jacket quickly.
“I oautuko and heave you across that river yon
der. jest like open and sliet."
“Bet yon ten dollars of it."
“Done!” said tho Yankee, nud drawing forth an
X, (upon a down-cast bank) he covered tho brag
gart-shin plaster,
“Kin you swim, feller ?”
“Like a duck,” stud Green jacket; and without
further parley, tho Vermonter seized tho knowing
Y'orker stoutly by tho nano of tho neck and the
seat ofthe pant*, jerked him from his foothold,
and with an almost suporhttman effort dashed tho
bully heel? over head Irom the dock, somo ton
yards out into tho Hudson river.
A terrific shout rang thiough tho crowd as ha
floundered iuto tho water, and amid the jeers and
screams ofbis companions, tho dunked hullv put
back to the shore and scrambled up the bank, half
frozen, by this sudden and involuntary cold bath.
“I’ll take that ten spot, if you please.” said tho
shivering loafer, advancing rapidly to the stake
holders. “Y'ou took us for green horiiß, oh ? We’ll
show you how to do things down here in York”—
and the follow claimod the twenty dollars.
“ Wal, I reck’n yeou wunt take no ton spots jis'
yit cap’ll.”
“Why! Yon’vo lostthe hot.”
“Nut edzaetly. I didn’t oolkilato on deuin it
tho fust time—but I tell ycou I kat doit it”—and in
spite of tho loafer’s utmost efforts to escape him,
and ho seized him by tho soruffand tbescat of his
overhauls, und pitched h in throe yardß further iuto
the river than ttron the first trial!
Again tho lmlly returned, ant’d the shoutaof his
mut< s, who enjoyod the sport immensely.
“Third time never fails,"said the Yankee, strip
ping off his coat. “I kin dcu it, I tell ye.”
“Hold on!” said tho almost potrified victim.
• “And I will dcou it-ifl’try till to-morrow
mornin’.”
“1 give it up!” shouted tho sufferer botween his
tooth, which now chattered like a mad bodgor’s—
“taku the money.”
Tho Vermonter vory coolly pocketed the ten
spot, and ob he turned away, remarked—
“ Won ntmueh acquainted with your smart folks
daoun here in Y’ork, but wo sometimes take tho
starch (tout of’em up our way—and p’raps yeu
wunt try it on to strangers agin. I rock’n yeu
wunt,” ho continued, and putting on a broad
grin of good humor, he left tho company to their
reflections.
Lsi-i.ativk Pardoning Power. —We arc opposed
to tho frequent use of the pardoning power by the
Legislature. Indeed undor ordinary circumstan
ces wt> aro opposed to its employment at ult. Tho
Legislature enaots laws so the people of the State
and attaches penalties to thorn—and ii the penal
ties are proportioned to tho crime, whoovor vio
lates the law shuld suffer too penalty. If it is too
severe make it loss so, but havo one and the same
law for every eitizon. Mako just laws snd let them
tako their course—and do not lot the same body
nnlify the law in particular instances which made
it for all cases and all persons. By exempting one
person from punishment which tho law declares
ho shall receive, you übrogute it In that instance,
audit only requires enough of such instances to
make tho law dead snd inoperstivo. Therefore
we are opposed to tho excrciso of tho pardoning
power under ordinary circumstances. It is incon
sistent, and unjust to every other citizen of the
State. „ _
As to poculiarcsses. The laws prescribe a method
of ascertaining tho guilt or innocence of overy per
son accused of a crime, supposed to bo as certain
and uniform us can bo dovtsod, and tho presump
tion is—and justly too—that all the facts of the
case that oan bo arrived at, appear on trial. If the
Legislature is the hotter place for the trial of crim
inal eases, lot all be tried there aliko. We are for
Democrlic oquality, and would see every eitizon of
Georgia amenable to the same laws, and before the
sains tribunal. _
W horover important facts come to light after
trial, it may bo well for tho Legislature to have
(lower to roviow tho casound allow such facta their
due weight. But there is so much opportunity
for suppression arid distortion of facts, that all
such proceedings should be conducted with ex
treme caution. The safeguards against corruption
and undue personal influence are few and weak,
and tho very naturo and constitution of a Legisla
tive body render it peculiarly ur fit to execute the
aws of ablate. It’» no light thing to interrupt
tho regular and legitimate operation ofthe laws—
and tho examples of innovation set in the Oases of
Byrd, Register, Ray and Hal! by the present Leg
islature, wo believe to bo dangerous in tbeir ten
dency. Os tho merits of these oases we offer no
opinion, we only oppose the principle of Legisla
tive Inlcrpoaiton as injudicious and unsafe.—

Priu People.— There is a set of people, says Dr.
Chalmers, whom I cannot bear—tho pinks of fash
ionable propriety—whose every word is precise,
and whoso overy movement is unexceptionable;
but who, though well versed in all the categories
of polito behaviour, have not a particle of soul or
of oordiality about them. We allow thut their
manners may bo abundantly oorrec’. There may
be elegance in every gesture, and gracefulness in
every position ; not a smile out of place, and not a
step that would not bear the measurement of the
severest scrutiny. This ia sll very fine ; but what
I want is tho heart and the gaiety of social intor
coarse—the frankness that epreads ease and ani
mation—the eye that speaks affability to all, that
chases timidity from every bosom and tells erery
man in the company to be confident and tuppy.
This is what 1 concci ve to be the virtue of the text,
and not the sickening formality ofthose who wane
by rule, and would reduce tho whole of human
lifo to a wire bound system of misery and con
straint. .
n>„_ Tht-stal Palace Awards —The awards of
the premiums to the depositors In the Crystal Pnl-
York do not seem to mcot with nni
verei satisfaction, and this would nrobably be the
eve no matter how the prizes wore awarded.
The New No’k Courier denounces the report as
the most preposterous and ridiculous public docu
ment that ever issued from the press; and, it says,
adds another to the chain of well-meant blunders
which have made this exhibition too frequently
and too justly tbo public langhing stock. 8o in
discriminately have the awards been made, that
thesilver medals only carry any distinction with
them. These silver medals were only given to
those who exhibited a very remarkable, useful and
entirely novel invention, and not one hundred and
sixteen ol these have been awarded, one of them
for hair work, another for a pretty shirt! The
Courier, in connection, advises the Board of Di
rectors to have the “premium" book oancelled,
and the exhibitors to be notified that they will re
ceive, until the first of April, a “silvsr medal all
round.”
