ODE TO THE POOR.
Sons of want, awake I bestir you !
Golden moments fly apace,
There’s a glorious prixr before you,
Up and gird you for the race.
Up! shake off ignoble slumber,
Slunber that enctacta the soul—
Up ! and join the busy number
Who are striving for the goal
Let not poverty uc man you,
Deem not fate hath fixed your lot,
Only think yen cap, then can you;
Think you cannot and you'll not.
Not the slothful, to*, the tiring,
flball obtain the golden prise;
But the earnest, the aspiring,
I hall alone to greatness rise.
Mighty men, renowned in story
For their noble acts sublime,
Did no*, step at once to glory,
But by earnes* effort climb.
Every age and every nation
Teems with nvat men, great ol heart;
He is great who fills his station,
Acting well his destined part.
To each being, howe'er lonely,
Is a fitting labor given;
Not the sacred heral J only,
Every man is calkd of heaven.
Beek the place heaven has assigned you,
Let your field be great or small,
Put sii obstacles behin J you,
Be obedient to the oali.
Fret net at your mean vocation,
Aim to raise it all you can ;
Tis the man that makes the station,
Not the station makes the man.
Have yea little ? Strive the harder,
And that little wisely spend ;
He that’s faithful in a few things
Fhall have many in the end.
True, you may not be a Caesar,
Nor a Newton,nor a Paul;
Bat you may adorn your station
With the noblest of them all
Who-oe’er with single purpose,
Be h'B object wise or Vain,
Perseveres through every trial
May at length his end attain
Be ye wise, cor laLor vainly,
Make each passing moment tell;
Let each day y *u leave behind you,
Bear the rtcotd—“all is well.”
Let not self engross you * being,
Help your brother in the strife;
Know that he, the wisely selfish,
Looks beyond the present life.
Covet neither fame nor richer,
Trust them not for happiness ;
He who most for others Uveth,
Knows the most ol real bliss.
Be your life a bright example,
Like a calm, refreshing shower,
Bhedd<ng sweetness all around you,
With a bow of promise o’er.
Though your deeds be not emblazoned
On the gilded tcroll of tame ;
Yet a light shall gleam behind you,
When forgotten is your name.
Rome ye then, and falter n : .ver;
Know that faith can mountains move;
Onward! onward! be your motto,
Upward to the realms above.
Louisville, Jan., 1854. Otis Pattkn,
A Yankee Wedding in New York.— Chancing
to virtit the office of Alderman , the other
day, we witnessed a hymeniul ceremony that will
bear narrating.
The bridegoom was a weather-beaten country
man, a perfect picture ot good-natur, but so tall
that in entering the portals of the office an in
voluntary obesianco was necessary; while the ar
tificial hollyhocks on the summit of the bride's
bonnet lust touched the elbow of her expected
lord. Their ontranco was preceded by an urchin
with dilapidated garments, who claimed und receiv
ed three coppers as his fee for guiding them to the
spot.
“Wliatcan Ido foryou, my good friends)” naked
the urbane Alderman, as if in utter ignorance of
the object of their visit. “Pray bo seated, madam.”
“Well, Squire” answered the groom, with a com
placent glance at the filagree breast pin that fast
ened a dashing ribbon around tho lady’s nock,
“old Mrs. Pettiboue down to Lynn—you’vffheur’u
tell üboot hor, 1 reckon )”
“Well, really, I think—l hardly know—l gnets
not.”
“Not heard tell of her ’Squire! why she makes
about tho best puukin sasa you evor put iu yewr
stummik, I reckon : slips doown jist as slick as a
groused cat crawliu’ through a jint of atovo pipe.”
“Vory happy to be introduced to hor, Sir; but
don’t let me interrupt you. Pray proceed.”
“Jos’ so, jos’ so. Well, old Mrs. Pettiboue giu’
me Dianthy, here to git spliced to. She’s a widder
woman, and old Deacon Petlibone made ropes of
money in the shoo peg business when be was alive,
and I larnt the business with him; so ye diskiver
that nul’rally I liked tho gull, and tho old lady gin’
consent; bo, es yew’ll pronounce the ceremony,
your money’* ready."
“So you wish to bo married, oh ?” queried the
Aldorman, willing to spend a few moment’s leisure
in conversation. “May 1 voulure to ask what in
duced you to break through a bachelor’s life)"
“Sartin, ’Squire, sartin. Yow aeo it’s nat’ral.—
Who ever ho .m tell of a bachelor chippin’ bird or
a bachelor bob-o link ? I reckon nobody has.—
And then ain’t doublin kinder nat’ral? Ain’t
double rases, aud double mornin-glories and
double pinyes tho pootyist, aud don’t everybody
like ’em better than sin lo ones. Tho amount on
it is, nature tenohos it, ’Squire, dear thiough the
pogratnmy, beginning with the robins and leavin’
off with the apple blossoms."'
"Vory true, my good Sir; a very philosophical
view of the subject. (Turning to the lady.) And
you, madam, have you given this Bubjeot the utten
tion it merits)”
“Never mind her, ’Squire, jest let me settle that
air businoss; ’tain’t no kinder use to trouble your
bowels abot.t Dianthy. Jest you fetch out yeour
books and flro away.”
Tho ceremony was soon performed. Our “Re
form” Aldorman has carried improvement evon
into that department ot his duties—and a two dol
lar bill was duly placed in his palm by the newly
made husband. After ho had congratulated the
pair, and wished them success, Jonathan exclaim
ed :
“’Squiro, you’re a reg’lar trump, you are; and if
you ever come to Lynn you’ll flud a stoppin’ place
with me, and a rousin’ welcome. But, ’Squire,”
aud Jonathan facetiously inserted his fore finger in
the region of tho Alderman’s ribs, “I’m done with
one horsebedsteails, lam. Oood bye,’Squire 1”

A little girl had a beautiful head of hair, which
hung in ‘clustering curls’ down on her neck. O e
hotsummor day, she wont up stairs aud cut all
the curls off. Coming down, she met her mother,
who exclaimed with surprise—
“ Why, Mary I wh it have you been doing to

To which she responded, that she had oat it off

to put it on again to morrow, as Aunt Nancy did I
Some years ago, when tho present Clerk of the
House at Washington was domiciled in tho Quaker
City, bis young son, a lad of some six years, hap
pened to bo at his futher’s .olhoo one morning,
whon the hatloss prophet, George Mnndy, made
his appearanoe, and getting into conversation with
the child, the luttor asked him in tho course of
their chat:
“Why don’t yon wear a hat, Mr. Mundy f 1
“Oh f” answered the prophet, “because their is '
uouse in it; God’s creatures are not so furnish- 1
od—sheep aud other animals, dou't wear hats.’’
Quick as 'ightuing, came the child’s philosophic
and clinching response:
“Are you a sheep, Mr. Mundy I”
My ‘two-year and-half ie considered ‘some’ in
these parts, snd never speaks without saying
something. A short time since, his cousin from
the country came to pay him a visit, the first he
had received from him. Our oook has also a ‘two
year-and-a-half’—so black that you can’t see him
alter sun-down—who rejoiees in the cognomen of
‘Tom.’ And Dick has an insuperable dislike for
the aforesaid Tom. Daring the cousin’s visit, we
were endeavoring to explain to him the eousinly
relation, and called his attention to the color of
his eyes snd hair, end his purely white complex
ion ; to all of which ho listened patiently, and for
a moment hang down his head, as if endeavoring
to comprehond whi t had been told him. Soon,
however, he raised his bright klneeyes, beaming
with great intelligence, ana asked—
“ Then ain’t Tom cousin to the Devil I—they
be’s the same color!”
Please tell your last-month eorrespondent to
send on ‘that hat!’
A little girl, of three and a half years, not long
since, in the middle of a moonlight night, awoke

“ See there, Ma, the moon la shining on the car

Horseback Kuhns.— Aided by a riding dress
and a spirited horse, woman attracts attention, ex
erts infineneo and appears like a goddess. She
then in effect rises above herself, wears an air, and
exhibits a style that commands observation and
secures admiration. No where does e lady
thoroughly equipped show so advantageously as
on horseback, and nowhere does she exert a more
wholesome influenoe. Tasty female equestrians,
to a neighborhood or a pleasure party, are a moral
goed equal at least that of a clergyman. And ah
An adjuvant to the colporteur for the virtue and

are eminently injurious, and they will soon rob
her of each charm and life. And we may add, the
present poverty of health among American women
is startling proof of this truth 1 The government

while she mast continue the moving spirit of

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 10,1854.
The Mineral! of Km Teueme.
The precedent* or follower* of Tuoal Coin, the
great nrs instructor of artifices in the metal* have
I become bo cumerooa in this section that their
name is legion. Von can scarcely see three por
sons engaged in earnest conversation in the
etreots ot any of onr villages or towns, that cop
per, zinc, lead, or Borne other metal is not the en
grossing subject. AI moat every one that yon meet
has hia “pocket foil of rocks,” and a fortune of
hundreds of thousands of dollars is just within
his grasp, ivory ridge and mountain in this
section is undergoing the strictest scrutiny and
investigation that the thirst for money can excite.
And if our Geologist and Mineralogist who has
been lately elected by our Legislature will pay us
a visit and faithfully examine one half the speci
mens of metals that wi.l be continually thrust
under his observation he wiii be the best worked
man in the State.
We have heretofore noticed in a somewhat de
sultory way the reports of discoveries of metals
that have been brought to our notice. But this
interest is liecoming so important and attracting
the attention of such a large number of our popula
tion, that it deserves the particular attention and
fostering influence of the press. Several years ego,
the first indications of copper were found at
Ducktown, in Folk County, in this State. But if
we are not mistaken it is scarcely two years since
any attempt was made to work the mines. The
first attempt of this kind, though without the ap
plication ot mnob skill on account of the abun
dance, and the ease with which the oar was ob
tained and its richness, sometimes yielding from 60
to 80 perct., of pure metal proved successful. The
location of the mines is in the midst of the moun
tains—the population was very Bparse and there
were no roads anti! the owners of the mines
opened highways to the East Tennessee and Geor-
S'a Railroad, and the Oconee river. Within the
Bt year landsin this neighborhood have increased
in value to a wonderful extent. Quarter sections,
(160 acres) have been estimated from fifty to five
hundred thousand dollars. And real sales have
been made and offers refused at these prices. Oue
of the richest of these mines, it was said, was sold
a few years since for a pet bear. It would row,
probably command from a half to a million of
dollars.
We cannot stato certainly what amonnt of cop
per is taken oqt, by the several companies pi
these mines per dev. But we si '*dr-.rssad-th< tWP
company is delivering about forty tons per day at
Charleston on the Hiwasee River, to be sent off by
the Ea^tTennessee and Georgia Railroad. And
we mustsuppoee the amonnt taken from the mines
to be very largo, as it is said one laborer can dig a
ton of ore per day. Ihe ore is said to be worth
about a hundred dollars per ton. This, for profits,
beats the California and Australia “digging all
hollow," and we should believe tbero was consi
derable exaggeration in the .statement, if wo had
not been assured ny several respectable gentlemen,
that this is a reasonable estimate. The ore is sold
in New York at from 75 to ltto dollars per ton, so
that it is reasonable to set it down as being worth
on an uverago, one hundred dollars per ton at the
mines, when taken out. From ail the experiments
yet made, the supplies of ore seem to be inex
haustible. We have understood that an English
Mineralogist, who lately visited these mines, stated
that there wus more copper in lour miles of Buck
Town, than there was in all England. The ridges
of mountains containing the copper at Duck Town
run through the whole length ot East Tennessee.
They passthrough the counties of Polk, McMinn,
Monroe, Blount, Sevier, Cocke,Greene, Washing
ton, Sullivan, and into the State of Virginia.
Certain ovidencoa of coppar have been found we
underatand, in McMinn, Monroe, and Blount
Counties, tho three nearest counties to Polk, and
the specimens indicate that the ore of these coun
ties is as rioh as that of Polk, but we have heard
as yet of no explorations of any importance being
made by digging or sinking shafis. Wo are satis
fied however, that copper in large quantities will
bo found in all the count-es through which these
ranges of mountains pass. Several weeks since,
some of onr adventurous East Tennesseeans went
on a prospecting expedition to Grayson County
Virginia. They there found copper ore in vast .
abuDdanco believed if possible to exceed the rich ,
mines lof Polk county in this Stato. A largo num
ber ot specimens were exhibited in onr streets a
few days since from these mines about which there (
could be no mistake. Tho natural copper was
clearly discernible in the rock in large and unmis
takable lumps. (
From threo to five millions of dollars worth of
copper ore will bo taken from tho mines in Polk ,
county the present year. As yet, we understand, ,
but one company has got fairly to work, though in
a short time some eight or ten companies will be ,
fairly under way, and in tho course of threo or j
four years tho amount of copper taken from East -
Tenuessco and Virginia, will probably equal in J
value the amount of gold now bronght'from Cali
fornia. All tho indications of copper y-ot found in '
this section have been discovered almost entirely .
by persons possessing but little knowledge of Mi
neralogy, and there has boon but little application
of skill and scieuco in the working of the mines. ,
We are in grout want of scientific Mineralogists .
and Geologists to explore our mountains. Some
few are now among us, but there is a very large ,
field for others, and wo can assure them they will
find one of the most interesting countries to the
scientific mind to be found in the world.
Besides the copper ore, sine has beon discovered ■
in the county of Jefferson, at Mossy Creek end at c
Dandridge, and in a short time tho extent and ,
richness of tho ore will be tested. Still richer j
specimens of ainc have been found it is believed,
in the oounties of Cumpbell and Claiborne, which ‘
will also be tested in a short time. ,
Lead has beon found in almost every county in I
East Tennessee, but has attracted vory little atten- 1
lion in consequence of its being overshadowed by .
tho excitement about copper and zinc. But our
mountains abound in coal and iron of the very
best quality, exceeding any part of tho world. The .
Iron of East Tennessee, has attained a celebrity, !
we understand, at Louisville, Cincinnati and 1
Pittsburg. AndsomeNortherii manufactures who ,
have lately established themselves here, havo pro- i
nouuoC-i it the finest in the Union. Along- tbs '
whole margin of the Cumberland Mountains m the
counties of Roane, Morgan, Anderson, Scott,
Campbell, and Claiborne, coal and iron ore is found
in such close proximity that it is believed iron can
be manufactured ohoaper than in any part of tho
world.
In looking over onr vast mineral wealth and (
the enterprise and capital now beirg ombnrked in
extracting and working the various metals in this (
section of the country, we have no hesitation in ,
saying, that, in a tew years the minerals of .hast j
Tennessee will equal tho products of rll the bal
ance of the State. Nor shall we be dependent on j
other lands for the staff of life. For fertility and .
productiveness, our rich valleys, and river bot- .
tomß, are not to bo surpassed. We can compete
witn any other country in wheat, corn, and oats.
For several seasons we have glutted our Railroads, ,
and Steamboats with our flour, bacon, and corn,
and with remunerating prices, we can in two or j
three years double the quantity we have hereto
fore exported. For two seasons we have saved '
the State of Georgia from want of bread stuffs, '
and as soon as our line of Railroads, now in pro
gress aro extended we shall supply South Carolina
and South Alabama. Wo anticipate a bright •
future for East Tennessee, and wo aro glad to see j
that our thrifty and ontorprising population are ;
beginning to appreciate the country they possess, ,
and are improving their farms, and exhibiting
a eherulness and industry in all their avocations— ‘
sure evidence of their increasing prosperity and
happiness.— Knoxville Statesman.
Ureal Importance of the Black Sea
Southern and Central Russia occupies the great
inland river basin of Europe, the waters of which
arc discharged into the Caspian and Black Seas.
The extent of this basin, exclusive of the plain of i
the Danube, may be stated in round numbers at a
thousand miles from east to west, and twelve hun
dred from north to south—so that its area is ebout
equal to that drained by the Mississippi and its
affluents. Although the Volga actually empties
into the Caspain Sea, yet in a commercial and eco
nomical point of viow it innst bo considered as
having its mouth in the Blaok Sea. The Volga
and Don, in one portion of their respective cour
ses, approaoh within forty miles of cacb other,
and communicate already by moans of railway,
and thereexists no obstacle in the way of joining
t lem by a oanal. Practically, then, the Black Sea
receives all the waters ol this great inland plain,
embracing, including the plain of the Danube, an
area of more than a million and a halt of square '
miles, the capacity of which for sustaining a dense
popnlation is far beyond that of the average ot the
remainder of Europe. It embraces, in particular,
tbe great wheat producing region of the Old
World.
A few comparisons drawn (rom the map will set
in a clearer light the commercial and political im
portance of thi» river basin. If we divide the
area ot Europe into 100 parts, 11 of these are poli
tically connected by their river systems with the
Ba.tic; 12 with tbe Mediterranean; 21 with the
Atlantic; and4o with the Black Sea. The com
parison as to single navigable rivers exhibits still
more strikingly tho paramount importance of the
Black Sea. Os the powerful tributaries to the At
lantic, the Elbe drains 43,000 square miles, the

The general treaty of peaoe of Rjßwiok between
England, Germany, Holland and Spain on the one
part, end France on the other, was signed by the
ministers of these Powers, at the Palace of Kys

1697. It concluded t'-is last wgr. The event is
commomorated by a pyramUlial monument at that
place.
The Great Modern and expensive wars of Groat
Britain have been as follows :
War of the Succession with France, Bpain, &c.,
eomtnoncod May, 1702, closed in March, 1718, by
the peace of Utretch; dnration, eleven years. Tho
most important stipulations in this treaty, were
the security of the Protestant succession in Eu
elut'd, the disuniting of the French and! Spanish
downs, and tho enlargement ol the British colo
uics in America.
War with Spain, December, 1718, to the peace
of 1721 ; duration of war, over two years.
Wur withßpain, October, 1789, to the peace of
Aix-la Chapelle, April 80, 1748; duration of War,
eight years and six months. *
War with France, March 1744, dosed also by the
treaty with Aix la-Chapelle, April 80, 1743; dura
tion of wur, over four years.
Tne Seven Years War with Frame, from Jnuo
9, 1756, to the peaco of Haris, Feb. 17, 1763. By
this war Great Britain acquired Canada, and other
French colonics.
"ar with Spain, January 1762, closed by the
general peace of February 10, 1763.
War with the United 8 ales from April 1775, to
tho peace ofParis, November 80, 1782. Duration
of war, nearly eight years.
War with France, February 6, 1778. Peace of
Paris, Ja .uary 20, 1788. Duration of war, about
live years.
War with Spain, April 17, 1780. Closed by
troaty of Paris, June 20, 1788. Duration of war
about three years.
War with Holland, Deo. 1, 1780. Treaty of
peace signed September 2. 1783. Duration of war
over two years.
It will be observed that during the latter part of ■
the Ainorieaußevolulionary war,whiohwaselosed
by the treaty of Paris, England was at war with
America, Franoe, Spain and Hollmd.
War with France, during the French Revolution
from February 1,1798, to tho poaoe of Amiens,
March 27, 18"2. Duration of wir, nine years.
War with Franoe, and her allies, under Napo
leon Bonaparte, from April 29, 1808, to the trouty
of Paris, iu 1814 ; eleven years.
War against Napoleon, ou hie return from Elba,
in March, 1815, finally closed be the battle of Wa
terloo, June 18,1815.
War with the United States, bom June 18,1812,
to the peace of Ghent, Dec. 24,1814. Duration ot
""in tho the Groat Powers
of Europe leagued sometime* wi’h, and sometimes
against Great Britain. Rase,a leagued with Franoe
and Austria at the peace of Tilsit, in July 1807,
against Great Britain, but lhat league only lasted
about five years, and there »sas no confiiol between
tho arms and England and Huasia. They became
allies again in 1812.
England spent sixty-five years in war, and sixty
two years in peaco, previous to the close of the war
with Franco in 1815, since when the general peace
has lasted thirty-niue years rearly. In the war of
1688, England spent thirty-six millions sterling ;
in the war of the Spanish succession, sixty-two
millions ; in the Spanish war fifty-four millions ;
the Seveu Years war, one uuudred and twelve
mil'ions; iu the American Revolutionary war,
one huudrod and thirty six millions: in the
war of the Frenoh Revolution, four hundred and i
sixty-four millions; and in tho war against Napo
leon, ono thousand, one hundred and fifty-nine
millions; thns proving a total expenditure for
war, in one hundred and twenty-seven years,
(from tho English revolution i > 1888, tothedown
full of Napoleon in 1816,) of two thousand and 1
twenty-throe millions of pounds sterling. M. de 1
Pradeß estimates tho loss of lifo by tho Frenoh
forcce in tho six campaigns of tho Poainsnlar war, ■
Spain and Portugal, at six hundred thousand men.
The lons sustained by the Spaniards and their '
allies was probably as great, making the total de- 1
struction of human beings in the Peninsular war 1
alone, about one million two hundred thousand.
The Britieh conquests io India commenced in
1757, and continued at various times down to the
annexation of the Panjanb or country to the Sikhs
to ths British Crown, in Morel., 1848. The war
with China commenced in 1640 and continue to
tho poaca of August 29, 1842, wh n a treaty was
signed on board tho Cornwallis Bhip of war, by
the British and Chinese Commissioners.
The Object or Plowing.
The object of plowing is not fully understood
and considered by tho minority of those who per
form tho work; if it were, it would be done more
faithfully and thoroughly. It is not alone to kill
tho weeds snd gras?, nor even ti furnish a seed
bod of fresh turned soil for planting or sowing—
nor anything which looks merely to the inversion
of the sod—which constitutes good plowing.—
Large plows turnings wideand shallow furrow,
will show a large day’s work—but the work is
very imperfectly accomplished, vhen the true ob
ject of plowing is the preparation it gives to the
eoil for producing vegetation—for giving to plante
sown or planted, the elements of growth and
fruitfulno's. It should thoroughly pulverize and
“loosen the texture of the soil, and thus admits
fico circulation of air and moisture, which by
chemical action, disintegrates or breaks down the
stony or mineral portions of the same, so that they
may be more readily dissolved and 'aken up by tbe
roots.”
In a soil thns plowed—thus prepared for yield
ing its support to vegetable life—plants can ap
propriate liom far and near the nutriment needed
i'or their growth. It is dissolved and ready for
their use—not hidden in unbroken clods or clam
bering iu an undisturbed subsoil—but awaits their
action in a friable and penetrable state, whore
every hungry rootiet, sent out to gather nourish
ment, for its parent ulsnt, may find and appropri
ate it. It is truly wonderful how 101 lof minute
roots the soil of a corn-field becomes, and if that
soil is fine and deop, the deeper uud closer togeth
er will the fibres permeate and intersect it. This
is true of all other crops, and while tho leaves
and fruit depend so intimate y on the vigor and
extent of the roots, these facte should always be
taken into consideration among the objects of
plowing.
Fineness and depth of soil am requisite in order
to receive the full benefit of the manures applied.
Ifcisnol fartiiiz ; ng food in its crude state which
assists vegetation—it must first become intimately
mixed with it, or, in fact, a part of the soil. Barn
yard manure especially seems of little worth, while
oimiug visible layers between the clods of a half
jlowed soil — it is often dry and coane- and rath
er shunned than sought by the roots sent out to
forage for suit able food. If a well . prepared eoil
has any strength or virtue, it will yield it readily;
and poor land in good tilth is often more produc
tive than better soils less perfectly prepared.—
The influences of air and moisture have freedom
to work, and they are no lagKwds in gathering
means to supply the wanta of vegetation.
With these hints on the object of plowing, we
might oonnect others on the process—the best
means of accomplishing that object—but prefer
to leave it for other pens. Will our praoUal far
mers, who have thought and experimented upon
the rubject, tell us what plow, and what depth
and width of farrow, taking also soil, season, team,
and time into consideration, most thoroughly loos
ens, pniverixee, and inverts the soil! This infor
mation wonldbe of much value to every farmer,
and is especially neoded in the present state of
Agricultural progress —for, taking the country at

The following Haw from Household Words, are full of t

vey to the youthful &reamer, a lesson which it would be t
well for him to ponder: F
Arise! for the day is passing,
While you lie dreaming on ; 1
Tour brothers are cased in armor,
And forth to the light are gone ; (
Tour place in the rank awaits you ; £
Each man has a part to play ; r
The past and the future are nothing,
In the face of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future— a
Os gaining a hard fought field,
Os storming the airy fortress, c
Os bidding the plant yield ; *
Your future has deeds of glory,
Os honor; (God grant it may !)
But your arm will never be stroeger, <
dr.needaaaow — j
Arise ! If tfie past detain you. 1
Her sunshine and storms forget; t
No chains so unworthy to hold you (
As those of vain regret; fc
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever ; a
Oast her phantom arms away.
Nor lookback, save to learn the lesson,
Os a nobler strife to day.
0
Arise! for the hour is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear, f
Is your enemy marching to battle!
Rise! Rise! for the foe is near !
Stay not to brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last, L
And from dreams of coming battle, l
Yon will waken, and find it past. j

The Japan Squadron. \
Extracts from a L itter of an cfiicor on board
Commodore Perry’s flag-ship to his friend in e
Washington, dated Napa Keang Great Loo Choo, c
February 8, 1864:— Nat. Intel. a
We leit Hong Kong on the 14th ultimo, in com- 1
pany with the Powhatnu, Mississippi, Soattminp- j
ton, and Lexington; the Mucedoman, Vaudulia,
and Supply having preceded us. On arrival here
we found thorn all safe. Wo wore shortly after 1
joined by the Southampton and Lexington, thoy
having been towed most of tho way. Those throo 1
store-ships brought each about four hundred tons
of coal, with supplies and provisions and stores,
so that wo have now six months’ supplies with |
us, wh ch will onable ns to remain long enough on
the ooast of Japan to give a fair teat to tbe expori- ,
ment we have undertaken of bringing tho author- j
ities of that oountry into some sort of intercourse i
with us*
With the people of this island we are getting i
along swimmingly; every day brings ebout somo i
new conoession from them which six months ago |
would not have beon thought of. ,
To-dav we visited tho Regent at the Royal Pal i
ace in tbe city of Shni, about three miles from
Napa, oooompanied by an escort of two companies i
of marines, three bands, and about forty offleors, ,
as by this sort of show the people of theso caun- i
tries are more readily influenced. We first visited
tbe Regent at the Palace, and from thence went i
to the City Hall, where a grand entertainment was
served to the whole party. On leaving the Com- i
modore invited tbe Regent and authorities to an ,
entertainment on board the flag ship to come off
on our return from Japan. They have already j
dined with him, but we intend on returning to
give them a sort of dramatic show to be gotten up
by the orew.
You cannot, or rather it would bo difficult for
you, to imagine the beauties of this island, wth
respect to the charming scenery and its marvel
lous perfection of cultivation; its ancient bridge i,
paved roads, canals, dilapidated works of defence,
Ac. There are five palaces in the city; the one '
we visited is of very great extent, probably cov
ering aspace of throe acres, with massive walls
quite equal to many of the old castles of Europe.
The island contains a popn ation of one hun
dred and fifty or two hundred thousand souls, J
and we have as much control of it and the author
ities and people as if it were a conquered country; !
and, wbat is singular, not an unfriendly act or an
instance of eoercion has occurred in bringing
these things about. We have explored the whole
interior of the island and surveyed the entire coai.t.
The people wherever our parties go attend upon
them and supply them with lodgings and provi
sions. At first they would receive no compensa
tion, but the Commodore insisted that nothin?
should be accepted unless it was paid tor, and
there is now little difficulty ia that way.
You are aware that it is an Eastern practice to
exchange presents on all occasions of public visits. 1
These must bo given end received or there can be 1
no intercourse, or rather no interchange of visits. 1
Consequently the Commodore sent hie presents
a day or two ago, and to-day every officer re
ceived a trifling present from the Regent, which
had to be received or the whole harmony of tbe
visit would hsve been destroyed. These presents
from the Lew Chewens are or small value, such as
fims, tobacco, pipes, &o. Our presents to them
have been more sube'antial, the State Department
having provided very liberally in this respect.
Hitherto our whahrg ships have never dared to
enter the ports of this island; now they can do so
with perfect safety, and be furnished with sup- .
Pl As an evidence of theoonfldence wehave in their
peaceful intentions we shell leave e party on tbe 1
eland in charge of e depot of coal, established
lere this very day. The Regent has promised to
take good care of them daring oar absence.
The island has been ruled over for nearly a
thousand years by a line of kings. The present
heir to the throne being a minor, (thirteen years
old, ythe kingdom is governed by a Regent, who
baa to assist him three counsellors. It is a depen -
deney of Japan, and sends annually to that empire
a large amount in taxes.
We sail in three days for Jeddo Bay, the Mace
donian, Vandal!*, Southampton, and Lexington
have already gone. The Supply lias just dischar
ged her coal into the three steamers, and will sail
n a day ortwo for Shanghai for another cargo, to
join us at Jeddo. We could not have manag dat
all without tbe assistance of the storeshipe; not a
veeel could be chartered in China for transporting
coal, and onr whole cruise this spring would have
been defeated had it not been for their services.

• Tu 6 war ha* jn*t boen announced
. 1? .°*P tn ro fiv ® Russian prize* in tho Baltic,
bat tbe detail* have not yet been reeoived. More
5 important performances are expected to tako plaeo
soon, as the iee in the various ports round thegulf
> of Finland ia rapidly breaking up, aud the British
fleet is already on its way to take advantage of
every opportunity for attack. Os course, nothing
ia known os to the movements contemplated, but
; it is still supposed that the capture of the island of
Aland, which lies between tho coasts of Sweden
and Finland, and is capable of being used as an
important naval station, will be one of tho first
things effected.
From the Danube there is nothing new and tho
impression is that the statement lately circulated,
of Omar Pasha having been ordered not to risk
any decisive operations until the arrival of tho
English and French armies, will prove correct.—
Meanwhile, howevor, thero is reason to beliovo
that in the minor oouflicts which constantly tako
place along the whole line of the river, the Turks
have almost invariably beaten or foiled thoir op
ponents.
The accounts of the foroe with which the Rus
sians have crossed tho Danube into Turkey proper
remain wholly obsenre. According to some re
ports the flnmber would appear to be little short
of 150,000 men, while othera represent it as scarce
ly exceeding 80,000. Tho latter is most probably
nearest the truth, but oontinual additions are
doubtless being made. Owing to tho locality of
this movement, intelligence with regard to it is
hard to be obtained. At the other end of tho Dan
ube, from Buch places os Widdin and Kalofat,
news is soon conveyed to the Austrian frontier,
whence it is immediately transmitted by telegraph:
but there is no opportunity of that kind from the
places in tho neighborhood of the Block Sea. Con
sequently tidiuge must chiefly be looked for via
Constantinople and Marseilles.
Concerning the movements of the allied fleets
in the Black Sea, tbe lateet information is that
they sailed from the bay of Kavarna in the direc
tion of Odessa. Anxiety is, therefore, great to
ascertain if that important city is about to be at
tacked. Largo bodies of Rusaian troops are un
tho last advices many of them bud already quitted
for the interior. Should a successful assault be
made upon it, the results would be of considerable
magnitude, since it is from this quarter that the
Russians must calculate to draw their chief Bnp
pliea for the invading army in Turkey, and it ia
probable, moreover, that a good number of vessels
might be seized us prizes.
With regard to tho movements of other powers,
such fuels as have lately transpired are on the
whole favorable. Austria is considered to havo
shown an increased disposition to tako a more de
cided part in conjunction with France and England
and thiß is perhaps good us far as it gees, although
no one acquainted with h or would for a moment bo
put off his guaid by any professions she can make,
iu Prussia the struggle between tho Court party,
whoso sympathies are all with the Czar, and tho
people, who are almost all earnestly against him,
is still unmitigated, and the Kiug is obliged for
the present at all events, nominally to concur in
the views of the allies. In tho case of Sweden
and Denmark, and especially tho former, tho ar
rival of the British fleet in tho Ballio has furnish
ed an opportunity, which has been eagerly seized
by the populace of both countries, to display their
old love for freedom, and their readiness to 00-op -
crate against tho Czar, whenever bo has boon suffi
ciently crippled to enable them to do so with any J
prospoct of safoty. Considering that the Russian ;
lorce afloat in the Baltio is known to amount to '
thirty sail of the line and a corresponding number 1
of frigates, steamers, and small crult, besides 800 1
gnn boats, while tbe British force of all kinds will
amount when complete only to 40 sail, somo hesi- 1
tation on tho part of the Governments of those 1
small states in committing themselves against '
the r neighbors, until he husrooeived a damaging 1
blow, may oosily bo pardoned.
Tho London stock aud money markot during
the few days has shown renewed heaviness, owing *
to a partial retivnl of tho drain of gold to Frauce, ,
and tho continued absence of any important arii
vais cither from Australia or the United States. I
In other rospoots tha tendency has been toward
increased oonfiouoe, but political considerations
have small weight against an efflux or influx of (
specie. Consols at the last dnto were quotod 87%; ,
they have Biuce touched 87%, and tho lust prico !
this evening »as again 87%.
Meanwhile, however, tno trade of the country !
continues to be wonderfully well supported, and I
there is no apprehension in any quarter of mono- !
tary distress. The conviction prevails that the '
condition of commerce is in every respoct sound, J
and that the principal alteration iu tno money 1
market, to be looked for before long, will be in
tbe direction of permanent ease, although a further '
inoreaso of pressure may first be experienced.
From the continental money markets the ad- *
vices are rather interesting. At Paris, during the 8
past month, there has been an increase in the h
stock of bullion held by the Bank of Franoe, equal r
to nearly 818,000,000, aud an inoroase of confidence 6
has beeu the result. In the previous month thero I
had been an increase of 88,25,000; but in the 8
preceding six months there had been a falling off,
in consequence ot the bad harvest, $40,000,000. ,
From Bt. Petersburg)! the accounts show a eon- f
tinuanee of diatruat in the papor currency of the ‘
Czar, whioh remains at 11 per oent. disoouut. c
Several failures of large amount havo lately occur- ,
red in that city and at Riga; tho lost, whioh was x
announced yesterday, was for a Bum equal to *
$425,000, by whioh Russian subject* will alone be
affected.

Eastern Affairs—The War. —Tho official ao E
count ol tho crossing of the Danube is published
in tiie form of a repot cto the Emperor, from Ueue- j
ral Prince Gortscnukoff. Tho report statos that
the passage before Galatz was intrusted to Aido do e

battalions, 8 squadrons, 6 sotnios and 64 pieces of

Below will be found a translation of an article
from the Invalido Itusse, the facts of which do not
reflect credit upon tho vigilance of the oombined
fleets. It appears tiiat the Russians bad formed on
tho Eastern coast of the Black Sea, betwefm Gho
lendijik and Gagri, a series of post, for the pur
pose of preventing tbe abominable traffic inhuman
beings carried on by the inhabitants of Caucasus
with tho Turks.
On the breaking out of tho war these posts be- ,
came isolated, und Prinoo Mcnsohikoff roceivod
orders to destroy the posts and remove their garri
sons, a task which he executed with success. A
squadron, consisting of twelve vessels, of different
descriptions, started on this expedition. 600 troops
the stock of provisions belonging to tbe Govern
ment, the artificers, and the families of all employ
ed, were conveyed without loss or difficulty to a
place of safety, although an English and Frenoh
steamer were fallen in with.
The London Times comment* with great severi
ty apon this affair. It holds the following lan
guage :
It is time we should know whether wo are or
arc not masters ot the B:ack Sea, and whether the
fine fleet wo have sent thither is to leavo the Rus
sians an unlimited lioence to ruago at will over the
waters which we so idly pretond to close i.gainst
them The oountry will require to bo told what
condition of woather that could be which rendered
the Black Soainaccessible to our fleets, but offer
ed no obstacle to the enterprise of Prince Mon
sehikoff.
Aro the English become saoh fresh-water sailors
that they are foroed to permit an enemy to snatch
a prize from their grasp beeanse they dare not
trust themselves to the elements which he braves
with impunity t We have taken upon ourselves
the blockade of the Black Sea, and the manner in
which we appear to exocuto that duty is by lying
snug in harbor ourselves, and vainly hoping that
our antagonist will do the samo.
It was not by such timid and sleepy proceed
ings as these that the reputations of the English
navy was made, nor is it by theso that it can be
manifested. What uvils our naval superiority if it
be so slo.hiully eud negligently put forth as to
leave the seas open to onr enemies, and enable
them to act as if an overpowering naval foroe were
not present?
Our fleet has boor* a witness of tho disaster of
Sinope, which, if it oonld not prevent, it might at
any rate have avenged, and it now sees onr ene
mies reinforced with the samo impunity as that
with which our friends were destroyed. Bottor to
peril our ships in the storms of tho Euxino than
to keep them safe at such an inglorious price. If
thoy are to avail nothing toward checking the
operations of onr enemies or protecting the weak
ness of our friends, it matters not greatly whethor
they are preserved to ne or not.
ruraoing its censures, the Times adds: —
If we turn from the soa to the land, it seems not
nnnatnral to ask, what is being done with our
cavalry ? Are thoy really to go or aro thoy to stay ?
If tbe army is to bo kept waiting for them, why
are they here ? Why aro their commanding offi
cers still in London I We aro counting too much
upon Russian complaisance. Whether their move
ments be judicious or not, they are, at any rate,
conducted with vigor and decision, and arc the i
acta of men who thoroughly appreoiate the value ,
of time.
The moment the first relaxation of Winter made >
operations practicable they were in the fluid. Not |
a dny was lost in crossing the Danube and putting
matters to the arbitrament of a battle. But these ,
enomies, so active and so intrepid, we oppose with
generals not yet emancipated from the silken dal
liance of London drawing rooms and Parisian |
saloons; with infantry whom we have kept fore ,
month eating oranges on the rock of Malta, while i
idle transports stood ready for their conveyance, :
and with cavalry, three troops only of whom are ,
yet embarked.
We shall probably be informed that it is great
presumption in the press to remark on matters of *
so purely e professional nature, but wo appeal from .
such conventional answers to the common senso
of onr readors, and ask, without fear of contradic
tion, whether there be any one who either thinks
tliat our army is not very greatly needed in the
East, or that it has been despatched with the vigor
B nd celerity which the resources of the country
permit and the situation of our affairs demands.
The speed with which our men were sent to
Malta showed what could be done with the means
at our disposal, and tbe delay which has since su
pervened how easily those means could be wasted
and misapplied. The public can only attribute
such mort.fying and unexpected remissness at the
very moment when events call most loudly for des
patch, to the evils of that sys’em of divided au
thority—that multiplication of departments and
frittering away of responsibility which attaches so
conspicuously to our administration of war.
War bos hitherto been the saturnalia of Govern
ment, responsibility has been relaxed, acd the
public eye, intent on the more prominent actors in
tbe game, has had little attention to spare for those
not le«3 potent agencies that are placed behind the
scenes. But this will not be so now. ibo mo
chaniem of government is better understood, the
difficulties to be surmounted and the means of
surmounting them are thoroughly appreciated, and,
in proportion as the resources of war are greater,
the responsibility of those who put them in mo
tion will be greater also.
We are just launched on the contest, butaiready
wo have seen ourselves twice baffled without strik
ing a blow, and our fleet and army loiteriDg in
compuisory idleness, while the game in which
ttev should bear a part is played out by other
hands.

From tbo Danube wo hoar that tho Russiaus
were intrenching themsolvcs at liirsova. Omar
Pasha had issued orders to the troops ocoupyiug
tho scooud or Balkan ino of defence to begin
their march toward the Danube on tho 10th, and
it is supposed therefore that some positive assu
rances relative t*> tho arrival of the allies must
have reached him.

, Czar had i-rtbor ordered that all pilots and men
eapahlo of bearing arms, should romovo from the
islands to the mainland of Finland, aud alao to
i remove or burn all shipe and boats. This system
of defence is to be pursued all along the shores of

The Russian Fleet in the Black Sea.—Alter
tbo occupation of tho Eastern shores of the Black
Sou in the last war against Turkey tho Government
had directed tho attention to tho suppression of
tho infamous traffic in women or children, who
form tho principal article of commerce bo' ween the
mountaineers of the Caucasus and tho Turks.
With this object, it hud crootod all along the 1
coast between Ghclcnjik and Gagri a series of tem
porary posts, aud had established oruieers by ,
means of gulleye of a particular oonßtruclion, man
ned by Cosaaeks Irom tho Ben of Azoff. Thanks j
to this measure, fearlessly executed by the Cos
sacks, tho object of humanity whioh tno Govern- I
ment had proposed to itself had been until now '
achieved.
At present, the circumstances under whioh these j
postshad been built having changed, it became 1
noce sary to oonsider that in consequence of tlieir ’
position, they had no lai d communication with *
each other, and that their garrisons, therefore, left
completely isolated irom the main body ol our j
forces could not boos any service in the goncral
system ol our future operations.
On those grounds the Aid de-Camp General j
Prince Mousolukoff was ordered to suppress these '
posts, after having withdrawn the garrisons. J
Prinoa Monauhikotf has accomplished this ser
vice with tho success which nooompanios all the ‘
opoiutioiis of the fleet in the Blaok Beu.
On the 8d of March he rtospatchod from Ghe- j
lendjik the steamer Molodots, under tho flag of 1
Vice Admiral Serobriakoff, towing rowboals ; the j
Crimea under tho flag of Rear Admiral Panfiloff,
towing tho Mamai transport ship; tho Odessa, J
towing the Bz.yb; tho Chersonese, towing the 1
Gostogai; the Boicts, lowing the Kodos ; tho Mo- 1
goutehy, towing the Teenies; audtlio Argonaute, 8
towing rowboats.
In ooasting along the shores of Circassia, and !
whenavor they arrived opposite a post, they left 1
the vessels necessary for the ombarkution of the 0
garrisons; but on approaching Navaghinsk two ?
steamers, tho ono French the other English, were I
signalled. The embarkation was suspended and ‘
moasures woro taken to prepare for action; how- J.
ever, tho enemy’® ships remained in the offing, 1
passed before oura, and the embarkation was re- r
earned.
In the meantime, opposite tho post VoliaminolT, 'J
those two steamers stopped the hired stausport j
Bayb; two offioors hailed her, and addressed to !'
her commander, Lieut. TchobysohelT, the follow- J 1
questions:
“ What steamers have you seen near tho post of 1
Navaghinsk?” Answer —“Some Russian steam f
ore of war.”
“What arc they doing at that point?” Answer H
—“ There is an Admiral there, aud lie has not told 0
me his instructions.”
“ Who is burning tho pos’s, you or tho Ciroas- j
sians ?” Answer— 11 Wo.”
“ Why do you burn them 1” Answor—“Because j
such is the order given.”
“ Wheroisvourfleot?” Answer—“ldontknow. '
but I believe it to bo at soa, and very near.”
After having received those answers, the two '
steamers departed, having described themselves
as the Mogador and Sampson.
On tho 6ill tho whole expedition anchored at
Novorosslisk, where it disembarked tho garrison
of tho Navaghinsk, Golovine, Lazaret!', Tenghinsk, S
and Novotroitsk. t
Storms hud provontod the squadron of Rear-
Admiral Vonkotitcb embarking tbo garrison of
tile post of Bt. Esprit. The removal of tills garri
son took phoo botween tho fltb mid 10th by moans
of the steamnrGroraonoaHOtts, aboard which was
cent Colonel Skoloff, nid-do camp of the Emperor.
From all tbeso posts, besides the • gurrisons,
whioli make up an elTective force of 5,000 mon,
they ombarked all tho families of the soldiers, tho
workmen, and a great part of the stores of ahe
crown. The rest, as well as the buildings, wore
burned, and tho fortifications were blown up.
Our military resources have thus been augment
ed by an important body of picked troops, aeous
tomed to war by long service in the centre of an
unsubdued oountry.

premises situate ou tho East side of King-street,
a few doors Bouth of Burns’ lane, owned by Mr.
H. Nathans, and occupied by R. Jenny, as a
dwolling and saddling establishment. The front
building, which is but slightly injured, was in
sured in the office of tho Charleston Insurance and
Trust Company, for SI,OOO. Tho kitohen, which
was insured in tho same office lor SSOO, was burnt
to tne ground. Mr. Jenny’s stock, which was
injured by removel, was insured in the Bouth
Carolina office for SISOO, and will more than cover
bis loss.
Tho out buildings attached to the property,
situato on tho same streot and to the South of the
above, owned and occupied by Mr. R. White, as a
dwelling and furniture store,and by J. M.Gidiere,
and ocoupied on tho first floor by L. P. H. Close,
asa dry goods s'oro, and the upper part as a dwel
ling were con mmed. They were insured for s6oo
eaefc, the one in tho Bouth Carolina, and tho other
in the JS’.ns office. Mr. White’s front buildidg,
which was injured in the rear, was fully insured in
tho former office. There was only SIOOO Insurance
on his slock of f urniture, a portion of which was do- I
atroyed, in the Commercial office. Mr. Close, whose
stock of goods was injured by removal, was not in

The brick building at tho Southeast corner of
King street and Burns Lane, owned by P. Mcßride,
and occupied by Valentine ileidt, fortunately es
caped injury.
The following property, loeuted on the Sooth
side of Burns’ Lane, with outbuildings, was con
sumed, viz:
A small wooden dwelling owned and occupied
by the widow of G. Reioke. Insured for SSOO in
the German Mutual.
A oue and a half story wooden building occu

one tenement, and S2OO on the kitchen, in the
Charleston Insurance and Trust Company, sad
SISOO on the other tenement, in the Augusta In

A three story wooden building belonging to the
trust estato of C. W. Crongh. Insured for $2,00u
in the office of the Charleston Insurance and Trust
Company.
To the East of theabovo was a two and a half
story briok building, which checked the fire ou
this side of tho Line. The building, which is
very much burnt, is owned by John Daly, and is
insured for $3,000 in the South Carolina office.
Adjoining the above, is a wooden building,
owned by Robert Stewart, the roof of which, and
tne out buildings, are damaged. No insurance.
The flames crossed the street or Jane, and commu
nicated to tbe subjoined property, viz:
A small tenement brick building, owned byj.
Harbcson, which, however, was but slightly inju
red. Insured for sl,2oo, equally dividodbetween
tbe Fireman’s end Columoia offices. Less than
s2oo will repair ibo damage su tained.
A wooden bnildiDg to the East of the above,
owned and oocupied by S. T. Prior, was very badly
iojured. Insured for sl,oooin the Charleston In

A wooden building to the Eest of the above,
owned and occupied by the Miss Josephs, was
materially damaged, roof entirely burnt off, and
house otherwise injured. Insured lor SI2OO in
tbe Charleston Insurance and Trust Company.—
There was also SSOO insurance on their furniture,
which was slightly injured.
A brick building in the immediate vicinity, own

the window frames and Bhutters, having boen
charred by the flames. . .
It is impossible to determine how the fire origi
nated, but it is believed to have been the work of
an incendiary.
The loss by this conflagration, it is estimated,
will reach about $15,000..—CA. Chur.

n The Ward Acquittal.
f The telegraph announces that tbe trial of Mat
’• thew F. Ward, lor tbe murder of Profeeeor Butler,
1H has terminated in a verdict of acquittal. Tbe noto
riety giveu to this case has rendered the main /beta
*" connected with it almost universally known, and
* on those facts, the gnat mass of the people hava
i recognised in the iratisaction a oruel aud pramidl
“ tatod murder. The younger Ward, a pupil in
Butler’s school, was tor some t ransgreeeion »ub-
I- jeoted to the discipline which he thought necea
-0 miry. There is no oharge that tbe punishment in
flicted was excessive or unmerited. On this elen
- dor provocation Matthew F. Ward and his younger
- brother armed thomaolvos with pistole aud bowl*
0 knives, and sought Butler, surrounded by hie elees.
8 An instant demand for an explanation was made
in insulting terms, and the first attempt ofProfee
-0 sor Butler to state tho causes for wbicn bo bad in
• fiicted thechustisemont was interrupted by Ward
■ calling him a liar, and when, with natural indlg-
J nation, he intimated bis resoutmont, ha was shot
j down by tho elder Ward, whilst tbe younger drew
* a second pistol and forbade interference upon the
part of the bystanders. ...
5 Those are Buooinotly but fairly all the mein faota
r in tho case. An attompt was made to prove that
r Butler struck Ward, and that ho aoled in self-ds
-1 fence in shooting him down; thus setting up the
I monstrous assumption that a man, armed to the
teeth, and with murder in his hoart, may provoka
-a quarrel with his unarmed aud unwarned antago
nist, and on tbo first manifestation o( the resentment
’ whioh is thuß basely provoked, shoot him down
j and then escape behind the oowardly plea of aelf
-1 dofeuoe. On the facts we have thus stated, every

? the only question open to the jury was the deols

Can we wonder that such oaseeas this are gradu
ally weakening tho publio confidence in tho effi
-1 cuey of trial by jury, and that people are learning
that an acqui till can be obtained, no matter bow
atrocious the crirno, nor how damnatory the proof
of its commission, if only tbe right kind of influ

upou the twelve men who abonld be, by their
oaths, the impartial and unapproachable arbiter*
betwoen tho justice and tho prisoner ? A trial for
any high crime before a jury is no longer a calm
and temperate inquiry whether thoerime was com
mitted, and the party accused guilty of ita commis
sion ; but it has becomo a trial of legal skill and
of soeiul corruption, in which all kind of agenoiea
uud influences arc introduced to propitiate the
goodwill of jurors where it caunot convince their
reason, and to enable them to compromise with
their consciences by appealing to their sympathies.
T.'io sobs of rolutives and friends, the anguish of
parents, tho despair of wives, tho woe of sisters,
tho weultn and social position of tbe offender, hia
political atliuitios, ami every imaginable ciretim
stunce that cun tend to ootifuso or perplex tbo jury,
and divert them from a high sonso of duty, are
now tho concomitants of a trial lor murder; and
if tho offender ho not some outcast for whom no

If wo are to continue to sustain tho trial by jury
as one of tho institutions of tho country, and to
look to it for the souuri y of life and property
against tho vio’once of mnrderoisaud tho depre
dations of thieves, whut must be the course adop
ted to prevent tee repetition ol such mockeries of
justicoushas just been concluded in Kontuokyf
We think tho remedy is in holding thejurors up in
dividually and personally before tho bar of publio
opinion, totho full responsibility imposed upon
them by their oaths. The public concern la notin
this or cognate cases with tho wretched oriminal,
who, though guilty of cold blooded murder, has
been declared legally innocent. If he has escaped
the scaffold or tho felon’s coll, he cannot eeoape
the moral guilt attached to Ilia crime, and he must
ben virtual outcast from the consideration of so
ciety. But it is that tho great safeguard of life,
tho efficacy of trial by jury, has reoeived a fatal
injury, and that twolvo men, segregated from
their fellows, and bound by tho most Bolomn of
oa»hs, to disoliargo their duty without fear, favor
or partiality, have proved unable to withstand tha
influence of wealth, family position, and talent
brought against them, and in despite of evidenoa
tho most conclusive, have falsely and unworthily
forgottcu their sacred obligations, and brought a
reproach upon the legal palladium to whioh they
may yot have to appeal tor the protection of their
dearest rights. Whatever of sympathy may be
felt forth® oriminal, and however thoae bound to
him by ties of blood and friendship may re
joioo in Idssefety, there should b» no excuses ac
cepted, no palliation allowed, for those who,
treucliorous to sooiety and to thcmßclves. have
pauderod to thut escape, and prostituted the law
into a mere convenience for tho sanation of a
gross and palpable mnrder. They deserve and
can expect to roooivo no consideration from an out
raged public sentimeut. Whorever the details of
this trial become known, tboir condemnation will
be cortuin, and, we may hopo, tho wroug whioh
they have united to oornmit on justioe. will react

Wo iiavo before uh an uppoal f rom tbe Ladies of

grounds around his death homo, bis earth-bad
Lot us canopy it with evergreens, and drape it

fragrance, to show that glory ia not all a dream.
Yes! let ns purchase, hallow and cherish forever
for our country and our children, Mount Vernon!
where lie the ashes of tbo Jmmoital Father of onr
Country.”
The Savannah oireniar was forwardod to ns bv
‘ dl ™ ro ‘ Portsmouth who has long resided in
tho Midillo hiatus. Tho following address from
her non we tuko pleasure in promulgating:
To Ike Women of Few Hampshire, on every HiU

An appeal bus been made “to the women or tha
South to unite and old in purchasing Mount
Vernon, tbo home and grave ol Washington, to
keep it sacred through all lime from desecration
and common business purposes.” The women of
Georgia have warmly responded to the appeal, and
the ludice of fSsvaimnh, having organised them
selves into a society for that purpose, by choosing
Dircctroer.es, Secret«ry, Ac., passed a series of
resolution!', among which was one to this effort:
‘ That se tho name of Washington belonged to tha
whole Union, so did hie remains, and If the lediea
north of the Potomuo would join with them ia
thoir patriotic work, they should greatly rejoiea "
A similar appeal h-now made to the women of
New Hampshire, When, a few years ainoa. a
call was made to tho tone of Now Hampshire’ to
unite in honor of their native State, they crowded
from every section of the Union in am wer to tha
summons. Wi en the sous of Portsmouth were
lant year oallod upon to unite aud celebrate tha
birth-day of our country in thair native city, voices
were beard in response from tbe banks of tha
Ohio and Missi-sippi to the shores of the Oregon
and the far off Isles of the l'aci&o Ocean. To theory
of Patriotism tier norm have never been deaf wha
tbor it has boon to tho battle field or the aouoeil
chamber,the court of justice, the Senate or tha
chiof magistracy. The aons of New Hampshire
have everywhere made tlnmselves a nuns for
their liberality and their love of virtue.
And now tbo Dunghtora of Now Hampshire are
called upon, whether living in their native Htata
or scattered abroad with her sons through the va
rious sections of our union, in the true feminine
spirit of devotion to all thatis noble and patriotic
—in that spirit which in 1770 incited “the !laugh

lic interest, with pleasure to engage with them in
denying ourselves hi drinking foreign tee”—in ell
womanly earnestness and res!, to units with tha
women of Georgia in their work of love and ven

a Thornton—of the Langdons and tho Gilmans, of
I those who fought under stark at Bennington, and
of a host of others who under Washington risked
their lives and fortunes in the cause of liberty,
will you sit idle while your sisters of the Houth
laying aside all sections! fueling invite yoa to join
them in ro- cuing the ashes of him who was “ Brat

Oar soil is ragged, oar climate stern, sod our toil

Wo will all unite as one. Those who have littia

The Barren TxAnx.-fbs 8t- Lmds Intelligen
cer, April zist, mentions tbe following incidents
connected with tbe Butter trade:
“ Within u few days past over one hundred tone
of old and inferior butter have been purchased in
this market on orders from tbo East, and at rates
ranging from Gto 7c. per pound. One party who
has an order from New York has bought mors
than half the amonnt.aud wants more at the asms
price. Large quantities are used annually In tha
manufacture ot cloths, and for other mechanical
purposes in Europe, end it ia bslievad that tba
most of tlic purchases here are intended lor re
port. In addition to the orders from New York,
others have been received from New Orleans ana
Cincinnati, and ail combined baa had the effect of
producing quite a brisk demand for stale sod ran
cid butter.
Last tall a merchant received on consignment
10,01)0 to 12,000 pounds “cholci dairy" a superb
article, put in .-mall packages expressly for family
use, and warranted to “ keep in climate," and for
which rocn alter arrival he refused 88c. per
pound for the whole lot ; oonld’nt taka it, limited
at Bdc. But a '’ey or iwosince, to out a long story
short, that butter was sold at making a claar
loss of 21 ; and what was still worse, the ship
per, who resides somewhere in New Y'ork State,
lost the whole consignment, it being swallowed
up in freight, charges, interest, dee.
Tux Russian Japan Expioitiun.—The New York
Courier is of opinion that the announcement is pre
mature that the Kusaian expedition has lueceade I
in opening the porta of Japan. It lays, "There
has been no aucb opening, and no promise to that
effect. Tbo Ru-siati expedition baa accomplished
no more, substantially, than was accomplished by
Commodore Ferry. They have visited tbe port of
Nangaeaki, have had imereeuree with one or two
