CHRONICLE & SENTINEL
Fvr the Chronicle A
Religions 1 Iberty—Maryland— Bancroft.
Miasim. Eoitobs : The correspondence in refer
ence t j the religioaa Liberty of Maryland, bet#een
the Hon. A. H. Stephens end myself, having
ceased, owing to the fai hi re of that gentlemen to
respond to my last two communications. I beg
/eave to present to the public throngh your
columns, a few farther considerations on the same
subject. A series of four or five short articles, of
which this shall be the first, will probably com
prehend all I have to say.
The evidence of Bancroft, has been appealed
to, by both my honorable correspondent and my
self. Any one who will carefully read all that
Bancroft has written on this subject, cannot fail to
be convinced that the whole weight of his testi
mony ii in my favor. The extracts from the
pages of that historian adduced by M”. Siephens,
were as I conceive, taken out of their connectioi s,
and conseqnently make an impression which
B.ncroft himself never intended to produce.
Within one page of the spot, where that writer
speaks of Maryland as the “only home of re
ligious liberty in the wide world,” he records the
governor's cath whioh eonfime that liberty to certain
sects, leading the remainder to persecution and
eath. If these two passages are to be construed
together “so that both if possible may stand, ’* (in
the language of the law books) then we must sup
pose that the historian used the term “ religious
liberty’Mn a very modified sense—in a sense so
modil|d% that no one would be jutifiable in
quoting it without explanation. If however, we
prefer not to attempt to reconcile the two pas
sagas and regard them on their intrinsic merits,
then the former must be rejected altogether; for
it raniti no higher than the mere opinion of the
witness, whereas the latter is testified to as a posi
tive fact. If it is true, that the governor’s oath
was what Bancroft declares it to have been, then
it is not true, that “ religious liberty” in the ab“
solute aud unqualified sense of the term, “ found
a home in Mary land.”
A little further on, the following passage may
be found in Bancroft, vol. 1. p. 256.
44 Thus early did tne star of religious freedom
appear as the harbinger of day; tLough as it first
gieamed above the horiam, its 1g it was colored
aud obscured by the mints and exhalations of the
morning. The greatest of Eaglish poets, when
he represents the ground teeming with living
things at the word of the Creator, paints the mo
mont when the forms so soon to be instinct with
perlect lite aud beauty, are yet emerging from the
inanimate earth, and when but
hilf appeared
The tswny lion pawing so get free,
then tprfngiai broke nm bonds,
AnJ rampant shakes h s brinded mane.
So it was with tho freedom of religion in the Uni
ted States. The clause for liberty in Maryland,
extended only to Christians, and was limited by
the proviso: ‘That whatsoever person shall bias
phemo God, or shall deny or reproach tho Holy
Trinity, or any of the three persons thereof, shall
be punished with death ' No where in tho Uni
tod States (continues Bancroft) is relious opinion
now deemed a proper subject for penal enact
men's. The only fit punishment for error is repu
tation. God needs no avenger in man, 1 ' &c. I
confess, Mr. Editor, that the former tart at 1 ast,
ol this passage, sound more like a 4 h of July ora
tion, than like plain history; yet it has s meaning.
When stripped of its figures and its finery, tho
passage about “the star—tho mists,” <fec., moans
J ,imply this : that the religious liberty ot Maryland
was only partial and inchoate—very good to those
who enjoyed tbe benefit of it, bu'. death to the
remainder. Those “mists and exhalations” wore
baleful enough to the poor Jew, and would have
been equally so to Bancroft himself, if he h*d been
there. Bo also the extract from Paradise Lost,
when done intophin Euglish, simply moans, that
there was as much of liberty in Maryland, there
would be of a Liou if he were cut in two boh ; nd
the s oulders, and all the hinder part buried in
the earth or annihilated. The historian (perhaps
I should soy tho poet) certain.y means something
by these figures of speocb, and I submit to the
candid reado whether I have fairly interpreted
them. If he does not mean what I have said, what
does he meanl When he says that “religious
opiuion is not now deemed a proper subject for
penal enactments,” does he not clearly imply that
then the reverse was tho case I It must be obvious
even to the moat careless reader, that Bancroft has
introduced this extended passage, and made it
conspicuous by his handsome language and pro
tracted comments, in order to modify all bisex
prossions concerning the religious liberty of Mary
land; and thoso who quote these last named ex
pressions, regardless of the qualifying clause above
sot forth, do signal iniustice at once to history and
to the historian. They at once falsify the facts,
ai d m Ice tho narrator say that which he never
said, and never meant. Whatever else the histo
rian may have said on this subject, it must be con
struod in connection with the above passage, which
he has given as a key-note to the whole.
I commend all who may honor these lines with
a perusal, to read for themselves the prges of Ban
croft; and there uninterrupted by the special
ploadings of any party, they will find that the tes
timony of that historian, when taken all together ,
and reduced to a consistent whole, sustains his
emphatic declaration, that “perfect freedom of
mind was from tho first the trophy of the Bap
tist.” More anon.
I am, Mr. Editor, Very respectfully yours,
H. H. Tvckeb.
L-Grange, Ga., Aug. 10th, 1856.
Meeting In Ureensboro*.
Bosolu ions passed at a Mass Meeting of the
American party at Greensboro’, August lltb, 1865.
At a Mass Metting of the American party held
at Greensboro* on Saturday, August lltb, 1855.
The Hon. Y. P. King being President, and Wil
liam L. Strain and Frederick C. Fuller being Sec
retaries, the following Resolutions were presented
by the President, read by one of the Secretaries
and with great enthusiasm were unanimously
adopted:
Ist. That wo approve of the Platform and prin
ciples adopted by the State Council at Macon, and
by the National Council at Philadelphia, and that
we will give them our sincere, earnest and ener
getic support.
2i. Tnat the nomination of the Hob. Garnett
Andrews, as the ca jdidate of the American party
for Governor, meets with our hearty approbation
aud that wo will use all honorable means to secure
his election.
gj. That the political association called “Tree
Germans ” recently formed at Louisville, Ky., aud
wh ch is intended to embrace ail the Gorman
population in the United States, and whoso avowed
object is t > conlroil the elections aud especially the
next Presidential election, have put forth a p at
torm of principles which must exc.te great anxie
ty aud apprehension in the minds of all Ameri
can patriots, and especially at the South. Their
plattorm upon Slavery and Negroes is as tollows:
*• Notwithstanding that we consider slavery to
be a political and moral cancer that will bv and by
undermine ail tiepublicauism, we deem its sudden
abolition neither possible nor advisable, but we
as Republicans and men demand that the further
extension of slavery be not constantly urged,
\>Li st not a single step is taken for its extermina
tion. We demand t at at length, real proofs be
given ot the good will so often boasted of to re
move the evil, that in particular slavery be exclu
ded Irotn all now Territories indiscriminately aud
forever, which measure Congress is completely
entitled to pass aocordiug to the Constitution. We
demand this the more as a Republican Constitu-
tiou is guaranteed lo every new estate, and slavery }
in truth cauuot be a Republican ele t
rneut or requisite. We further demand that all t
aud every one of the laws indirectly transport- t
mgr the principle and influence of slavery in and f
upon new States, namely : the Fugitive i>iave j
Luv) shall be repealed as demoralising and degra- ,
un gaud as contrary to rights and theOoDßtitution. •
W e floally demand , that in all national affairs, the (
principle ot liberty shall bo strictly maintained,
and even in the several States it be more aud ;
more realized by the gradual extermination ot ,
slavery. i
•‘in the free States the color of the skin.cannot ,
justify a difference ot legal rights ; there are not
oorn two men oi equal color, but Btill less two ,
men of unequal rights.”
4th. We can hardy believe that this Association (
of Foreigners would have had the unexampled
impudence and insolence to demand that slavery
sho jld be excluded forever from the Territories ol
ihe United States ; to demand that the Fugitive
Slave law should be ispealed, and that slavery
should be gradually exterminated, unless the>
teit and realized that they were backed and sus
tained by the power and influence of the leaders
of the anti-American party.
sth. It would bo as reasonable to expect that
FreJ. Doag »se, or »ny other eseped slave, would
be id favor ot slavery as to eipect that met, fleeing
from boadege iu Hurope ehottld be in favor ot
elavery here.
6m. That wewitnese with pain end regret, that
the leaders of the anti-American parly are endea
voring lo persuade the people that these foreign
ers SLomd be permitted to vote and hold office,
thereby lo some extent eommitting the destinies
ot our oountry to their hands, and the institutions
oi slavery lo their power. We hope these eaders
ol the anti-American party are honeat —we know
they are misted, and are trying to mislead the
people.
7m. That the time has arrived when the mem
bers of the American party should direct their
atuntion to tho6e iaaividua.s who should be their
cacdidst'.e for the offices o. President end Vies
President at ihe next Presidential election.
Bth. That as the last two Presidents have been
taken from the Northern States, it is bat just,
right and proper ttat me next President should
come from me Southern States.
»th. That me distinguished abilities, long ex
perience, elevated and national patriotism and -
moral worth of the Hon. John J. Crittenden
or Kentncky, favorably commend him to the con
sideration or the American Party as a suitable per
son for President.
10th. Tost the tried firmness, unwavering de
votion to tne principles of me Constitution, npe
experience, elevated talent and nationaljjatnousm
of the Hon. Green C. Bronson of New 1 ork, com
mend him to the favorable cone.derslicn ot tte
American Party as a aaitabla person tor the Vice
h. Tb*t when collector of New Ycrk, by
his rw using to appoint Freesoi ere es bis eobor
dihates to office, at the bidding otPreaideat Pierce,
aud thereby incurring hia resentment end removal
from office, he exbioited brmseli to the American
People as a Pstnot worthy of the highest oonfl
dance, and who emld be depended upon as faith
tul to the Constitution under me severest tnais.
11* h. That me declaration otthe Hon. Samuel
Beardsley at a mee.ing of the National Democra's
at New York in June last, on taking the chair as
President of that convention, which wee in the
following weeds i ••We have e new party of X»ow
AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22, 1855.
Nathings (an they are c» led.) I will do them the
justice to say, that at the late convention at Phila
delphia, the reßolutions adopted by the majority
of that convention upon the subject o? elavery (I
/ coniine my remarks to tha’) I think that thosere
solutions square exuC‘ J y with the views of the Na
-1 tional Democrats” and which were received with
great applause by that convention, clearly demon
strates The fact the American Party and the
National Democracy are united in sentiment and
opinion upon the slavery issues.
18. n. Tost the Io do wing Keso'ution passed by
that Convention of National Democrats which is
in the following woraj?—
44 lies Iced, That we utterly repudiate end dis
avow LLe demaud of Northern Abolitioniats, first
enunciated by tne Buffalo Convention which
nominated Vaa Buren and Adams in 1:43. That
no more Slave holding States shall be admitted
into this Union, be ieviog that the position thus
assumed, is one which finds no warrant in the
Constitution, or in the examide set us by our
Kevolotionary Fathers, and remembering that the
first State admitted by act of Congress, approve
by <4eorge Washington as President, was th*
Slave bolding State of Kentucky,” meets with our
unqualified approbation.
14lh. Tnat he sentiment declared and opinion
e-xpresed in Resolutions passed by the same Con
vention: “ That the present Administration has
outraged and insulted the naticnal sentiment of
the American people, and that Tammany Hall
has become a bouse of refuge tor hypocritical and
knavish politicians,” is in accordance with truth
and fuct. And, that the letter of thrd distinguish
ed national Democrat, the Hon. Daniel S. Dickm
son, declaring his opidioo that the P/esidtntial
chair is vacant by the occupation of the present
incumbent; if not literally correct, is substantial
ly so.
Js.b. That the National Democracy and the
Americau party being thus harmouious upon the
vexed question of Slavery, and being united in
their opposition to the --resent Pierce Admiuistra
tiOD, and the Northern Buffalo Platform Democ
racy, oy which it isßU} ported and sustained. The
friends of the Union, the patriots of the land,
North and Suuth may indulge a well grounded
hope that tbiy will ba able to act together in the
next Presidential election.
16th. That we cordiady agree also with the Na
tional Damocracy in their Resolutions of the same
Convention, that the present Administration is
unworthy of the confluence and nupport of the
American ud that the «lKy of the Coun
try lies in its an onditionsl repudiation.
I7tb. That any public oflicar who knowing.?
violates the Constitution is unworthy of confidence
or trust, and should not longer be continued in
oflioe.
18tb. That by our Ccnstitution and Liws the
Governor possesses no power to create an cfllee,
or to appropriate money to pay tho officer appointed
to fill the office created by him. That su :ii 1 ower
is vested only in the Legislature ; nor can he ap
point any officer unless authorised to to do by the
Constitution ai d Laws.
19tb. That the otlice dow held by Hobart J.
Cowart (and which we beiievo is yot without a
name) is not created by the Constitution and Laws;
aud that it owes its existence alt gather to the Es
ecutive ; and that no money has v een appropriated
by the Legislature to pay such officer; aud tha 1
the money paid to such officer has been by the aet
of the Executive alone, without authority of law
2Qtu. That theso acts of Lbo Executive are
subversive of the first principles of our Govern
ment, are an open and palpable violation of the
Constitution aud a usurpation of the rights of the
people to whom alone belongs the power through
■ heir Representatives to appropriate their own
monies in their own way.
21sfc. That the present Governor Horschell V.
Johnson in doing the aforesaid acts has violated
the Constitution, is unworthy of public confidence
and should no longer be continued in office.
22d. Tnat Robort J. Cowart the officer filling
the office thus created by the exercise of uuconstitu
tiona' Executive aud living upon the money
of the people thus illlegally aud unconstitutionally
appropriated, in stioling through the State ma
king speeches to aid in the re election of Gov.
Johnson in order that for two yours more he
may erjoy his unconstitutional salary; insults
the feelings and integrity of the people of Geor
gia.
28d. That the determination and repeated
avowal of the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, that ho wou ! d
oppose the ro election of Gov. Johnson unless he
reduced his freights upon the State Road, and
that subsequent to such doterruination and avowal,
Gov. Johnson did rcduco his freights upon said
Road against the will and previous decision of the
Superintendent, places the Governor in a position
painful to an honest man, aod the people will and
do require an explanation of tbia transaction.
24' ti. We request that the papers fiiendly to
the American Party, aud all others friendly to the
Americans publish the foregoing.

For the Chronicle & Sentinel.
A writer who signs his name “Peyton,” in the
Constitutionalist & Republic of tho Ist of August,
says :
<; There is a law upon our statute book, requir
ing the State Roa 1 to have a Commissioner, and
if we miatuko net, ur.d-jr every administration of
our S*ate, this Commissioner hns been op cinted.
The increasing business on tho Road and its litiga
tion, sensibly impressed Gov. Johnson with tho
necessity of having this Commissioner a legal man,
hence Col. R. J. Cowart was appointed.” (Do you
mean Commissioner ?)
The Rav. R. J. Cowart told me, ho was appoint
ed Attorney for the Road with a salary of |2,000
a year. Ho has been known’from one end of the
Road t© the other as Attobnet for the Road aud
not as Commissioner. Ho was recognized in the
Courts as Attorney for the Road, and as suoh con
trolhd cases against the Road. He never was
called, recognized, or known as Commissioner , until
it was found necessary to cover Johnson’s usurpa
tions, to rake up an obsolete law which was en
tirely superceded by the act of 1852, reorganizing
the Road. Acts 1852, page 110. This act repeals
all laws and parts of laws militating against it.
The compiler in a note, page 114, says : “This act
abolishes tho otlice of Chief Engineer aud repeals
all the provisions of former acts, giving the Gov
ernor discretionary power In appointing agents,”
&c.
The Governor and his friends, I have a right to
presume, give up that they cannot produce the low
that authorizes tho appointment of Attorney.
Now, I demand of them to show the law that
authorizes tho appointme it of a Commissioner
with a salury of sß,<Hoa year. Who was Qovernor
Towns’ Commistionerf Who was Gov. Cobb’s—
and what pay did each get f

Wreck cf the -~*-erlean B&fp Menclretter.
We have beenfavo’eJ with tho distressing ac
coout of the wreck and total loss of the Manches
ter on the 28lh or August, 1851, in lut. 65 8.
Tne American ship Manchester, of Nantucket,
left New York for Vulparasio, oa th i 7th of April
1664, the complement of hands on board being
seventeen, and tne wife.
On tho 28tn of August, after passing Cape Horn
the ship struck on a sunken rock in about 95 lat.
8., and to the Southward of the Cape, laud distant
80 miles. Not being able to keep her free with
pumps, got tho hosts out, which were shortly af
terwards stove; had afterwards the main mast cut
away.
At 12 samo night she was fall of water, but
continued to drift until 6 A. M. of 29th , when aft* r
passing a small island, she grounded, and in 20
minutes opened in two parts an 1 all on board were
immersed in the water. The captaiu aud hia wife
clung together, but by some chanoe, got separated,
and the captain alone rose to the surface ; he im
mediately seized upon a plank, aud succeeded in
rescuing his son, on which piauk they drifted to
the stern part of the vessel, wh :re they remained
until sunset, haviug concluded th*>y were the only
survivors of the ill fated ship. Tney then man
aged to get ashore on thelsiaud, where they found
one barrel of bread and another of floor.
Four days after, tho second mate and one sea
man arrived at the Island on a raft they construc
oii another Island on which they were oast, distant
miles. Here we remained whilst the captai n
w»s bnildn g a noat. Having all crossed on the
raft to the Island on which the second m c .te
landed, where was much of the wreck of the ship
and cargo aud provisions. On the 3d of Novem
ber, the second male died beiog completely ex
hausted. His name was David Rees Evans, a na
tive of South W hales.
19th Nov. we first saw any of the natives, some
men and women having landed from a cano . We
had just finished our beat and were ready for
starting. The Indians having at the firs, received
what could be spared to them of our clothes, etc.,
reiircd; and afterwards returned with bludgeons,
and insisted upon stripping us. Three attacked
the captain and three the seaman, who having cis
abled two of them flei to the boat in which tho
boy already was. Unfortunately the captain recei
ved a blow wh ch must have instanly killed him.
Tie boy received two arrows in his jacket, bnt es
caped unhurt. Wo landed on the Island where
part cf the wreck still remained, we returned in
the evening and found the captain’s body lying
naked on tne rocks and quite dead. Not daring
to remain we took two barrels of bread and retur
ned to the wreck.
Alter remaining several days, we ventured along
the coast in our boat. At me end of about six
weeks, we found the provisions all expended and
subsisted on such shell fish as we could gather
amongst the rocks. As er subsisting for some
time in this way, a native can e hove .n sight; be
ing destitute of subsistence for a montn at least,
exoept the raw shellfish, we gave ourselves up to
tin Indians and having nothing to excite their cu
pidity, they behaved very kind y to us, and with
them we remained up to this present time, having
never once seen a vessel, until a steamer passed a
lew days since, but bad no communication with
her.
Our eternal gratitude is due to the Captain of
the Meteoro, who has taken us cn boord, and fed
and clothed us.
Oar ship was colled the Manchester, of Nan
tucket, Captain A'exander Hall Coffin, from New
York, bound to Ya paraiso, with a cargo of cods
and lumbeI', 1 ', from the firm of Cartwright A Harri
son, of New York. Saved, Thoe. K. Coffin, the
capiain’s aon, and Robert Wel.a, seaman of Bos
ton.
The commander of the Meteoro says that in hia
parage in the Straits, having anchored in Fort
Oaiiaut (Fortescu Bav) during night cf the 24’h of
Ma>; on the 25th several Indian canoes came along
side, amongst whom were two Americans, literally
as naked as thems* ves. He look them on board
and brougntlhem to Valparaiso, fc fi ling for hi>
part a duly imposed on him by Christianity and
humanity.
Paddy's Idea cf Perdition-.— Fat McCarty was
«« a brotn of a boy,” and a.iogether as “decent” a
man and as handy with a spade as ar y of the
whole five hundred who were at work upon the
railroad, then and now in process of building in
the northern part of Ohio. He was a great favor
ite with the overseer, on account of his faithful
ness and integrity of character, but he had OEe
tault that sorely grieved his employer. Though
as sober as a sexton for six days in the week, Pat
could never resist the temptations of 44 pay day,”
and when Saturday came round never failed to
get as 44 drunk as a lord.” Having tried every
other reformatory expedient in vain, the overseer
at length bethought cf the pmet, who p evaiied
on Pat to 44 *ake me pleGge,” and sent him on his
wsv rejoicing. But, alas ! the Dext day was 44 too
many” for poor Pat, wno staggering through the

the night at one of*hem, aarv pror.ajd vo tfti otmr
□ext morning. Aa ail are in tho desert where there
are no hotel accommodations, the arrangement lor
the D'ght, of course, becomes something of an in
teresting question. 8m o parties take tents and
bedding with them, camping out in iho sand like
Arabs ; others occupy soino of the rifled tombs o’
the ancient kings which plan we w- ro thinking
bout adoptii. g, when our dragoman thought he
could find us more com tortab-'e lodging* in oneofthe
madhouses in tho village of tne Sukkara, belong
iug to a gentleman makii g excavations in the vi
cin tv, but who at this time was i b-ent.
Taking, therefore, plenty of mats and covering*
to make us and provisions enough
tor two besides oar
ing of January 4 h we star od Iprth on our expe
dition. The sun was pleasant and warm, the air
just cool enough to prevent our getiiug overheated,
our donkeys bright and nimble, so that wo
0! joyed our ride veiy n.u.h. We crossed the
Nile in a ferry boat, and wendei our way through
u grove of pulm trees, through mud villages, over
the strip of greoa fertile land between the river and
tho desert, c rried on the shoulders of Arabs
ucross the streams too deep to for 1 on our diminu
tivo ponies, until wo arrived at the edge of the
groat sandy ocean. The pyramids grow larger as
v?e approached them, and at last wo stood under
the very shadow of one of them, and saw oth
ers looming up in various direotiouß. None ar
perfect. All have lost thgir outside casing, or lay
er of s'oncs, and nome have only the appear: nee
of a great pile of rubish. The one near which we
stood, cailod tho ryramid, still has its de
grees or steps distinctly marked, and, although
presenting rather aru nous appiaranco from its
rough exterior, is yet suffi jion ly grand and impo
sing. It Hands on pne of the sand bills which
lino the edge of tho desert, and from it soms half a
dozen others of theso gigantic work* may bo seen
risiug ont of the barren wwe around.
Ti o precise object the builders of the pyramids
had iu view in their erection, has never yet been
satisfactorily determined, and oven more difficult
and more puzziiug is the ques ion how these im
mouse stones were brought and raised to the place
they occupy ? May it not,, after all be true that
thero were giants in the:->% ancient days who pos
sessed unheard of strength, and employed them
selves in these works byway of exercise ? For,
indeed, it seems almost impossible that men such
as inhabit ihe earth at pres nt, in any quantities
that might be brought together, could accomplish
such rotults as are seen in ra;>ny of tho gigautic
enterprises of the oid Egyptian world, the very
ruins of which astonish luy most wise and learned.
Tne explanation of aft these things, however, wo
are quite content to loavo to tho busy heads already
so ceoply occupied iu trying 10 discover glimpses
of light on these poin’a. Wo are here to seqa g
and wonder, be astonished and admire. We ar«J l
in tho midst of mysleriei, and imagination only
can havoiree scope where ali knowledge utterly
fails.
I shall not attempt any detailed description of
tho objects we meet for it would be utterly
useless. I will only try to tako you along with ns
an we go from p'acowto p aco, and give you some
idea of the mixed B*>rt oi life we are leading now ;
sometimes enraptured cvOr a noble, beautiful ruin,
then disgusted with the dirty miserable Arabs,
who followed us every where ; sometimes charmed
with soft climate and almost cloudless days which
wo enjoy, then tormented with the fleas, mosqui
toes, flies, aud dust, which form the accompani
ments ; som times with eye, heart and mind lully
employed and delighted, then listoniug t o the sug
gestions of personal comfort wh'.ch will now and
then complain of tho thousand aud one annoyan
ces to which it is subjected on all sidos. After a
while, without doubt, we should got hardened to
all the little dfstarbancon which tfriso from the
dirt and degradation by which wo ore surrounded,
but just at this moment I am quite ready to affirm
that the greatest blessings of civilization are neat
ness a«.d good order, aud to holievST most devoutly
that “cleanliness is rext to goodliness,” and
almost a heaven in itself.
Wo had reached then the foot of the Sakfea r a
pyramid. Near by some now aud ini cresting tombs
huve been lately discovered and opened oy Mr.
Marielto a goulleman engaged iu scient-flc resear
ches into tho antiquities of Egypt, but unfornulely
for us he is at this time absent in France. Wo
wish'd much to see these new wondeie, but he
closed the entrances up to Becuro his treasure from
intrusion, and wo could not, ootaiu admittance.
Befcra going into any o* tho tombs already open,
for the whole neighborhood of the pyramid is one
vast cemetery, we rode on to tho email villago of
thefcafckura, buift of mud, with narrow, dirty lanes,
like the rest of theso pastoral rurul spotß, to find
our h aging for tho night, eat our lunch and rest
ourselves after our five hours ride. Amidst tho
barking of dogs, and followed by a host of swarthy,
< iity looking urcbit.s, wo arrived at our quarters,
which, allhou h built of mud line the rest, was
elevatod and airy, commanding a view of tha
whole place. The bo sure the mud floor with ut
most as thick a coating of dus-. as tho s’reot itself,
with tho mud banks on two sides of ihe room
which were all the hodsteads wo were to have, and
the appearance of a rat ruuniug about on the wad,
very utile disturbed at our pres nco, did not pres
ent at first glance a very inviting appearance; but
we expected rather rough accommodations and
wore prepared f r them. Our lur ch (eat off a news
paper spread on the ground,) relished very w ell,
and iu an hour’s time wo wore ready for a fresh
start.
About two miles from tho village is all that re
mains of the ancient city of Memph»s, once a
magniticout abode of kings, and a splendid capi
tal of Egypt. Thither we went first, and found
only a vaj*t circle of mounds formed from tho fall
en bui diugs and decaying ruins of centuries, to
mark the site of this world renowned spot, famous
for its rich temples and palaces, where perhaps
Moses once dwelt, or Joseph once lived in state.
We saw several parts of Biututes, some quite per
fect in their sculpture, and there is one Colossus
almost entire, lying now, however, in a kind of
pond, and so much covered with water that we
ooula only boo enough to know that it was there.
Many attempts have been made at ixcuv*tion here,
and without doubt many a gem ot art lies buried
in the earth ; but it is too near the Nile, and the
water oozes through as soonas workmen go a little
beneath tho suriaco, so t at lor the; present they
cannot effect much. It is supposed that Mem
phis was a large city even when Abra Lam weDt
down into Eiypt, being built or enlarged, &b is
now calculated almost with certainty, by Menes,
the first aing about whom anything really credi
ble is known, somewhere bbout 2,7« 0 years before
Christ. What an age of time to look Lack upon 1
After wandering about this scene of desolation
a while, we returned to the desert, and went iuto
some of those wonderful Egypt! n tombs excava
ted out ot the r ck in part, and in part built of
masses of hewn stone like those used in the pjra
raids. It is astonishn g to Eoticu the labor and
care expended on tbc*e dwellings of tlio dead.
They are like immense caves under ground,
divided iuto several apartme .ts with long passage
ways, the whul-j of wuich are b autilully filched
and covered with finely wrought figures of gods
*nd goddesses, and beautiful nior glyphic char
acters, ail cut in the solid rock. Nor was sculp
tu e even considered sufficient to ornament these
subterranean abodes. Like the temples, many of
these design? wore colored in a very rica manner,
and so faithfully and well wan tnis done, that
8,000 years havo not been long enough to efface
entirely the beautiful tints which in many places
are still fresh and bright.
In one tomb a’ong which we have been in, there
are eight miles of walking to go through all its
passages; and every step ot the way walls, ceiling ;
door posts, everything ia covered with orname.-tal
work, not only in various devices and isolated
groups, but the whole histories ot various domes
tic employments, amaaemeots and occupations, are
carved oat in a series of pictures still very readable
and understandable, which mu-t have been don«
entirely, too, by lamp light. W here were so many
t-kiliul fingers foaLdl And how long did the eyes of
the poor artists last in this difficult employment!
Science and learningms> findoutand wit loutdoubt

weii preserved records written so lt»ng ago in the

off by the Arabs for fire wood, or distributed all

what they were working foil
Among these pits there is one immense one
fiiied enure j witn mummied ib.ses, a sacred bird,
and once numerous in the country, although now
very r*re. Wo went down into this, and saw how
nicely they were p eked away, swatted, and ban
daged, and sealed cp in small earthern j *n. W e
amazed ourselves sometimes getting the Arabs to
take them out fur U 3, and bieaa in the covers,
while tne dragoman pulied them to pieces to see

Color and Complextlou—A bindy for I.«dlei.
Kld Drapery.— Kose red cannot be placed in on
tact with the rosiest complexions without causing
th:m to lose some of their freshness. Dark-red is
less objectionable for certain complexions th* n
those roe rod, because, being higher than this lat
ter it tends to impart whiteness to tbem in conse
quence ot contrast of tone.
Green Drapery. —A delicate green is, cn the
contrary, faverubiu to all fair c .mplexions which
are deficient in rose, and which may havo more
imparted to them without inconvenience. But it
is not as favorable to comnloxions that aro more
red than rosy, nor to those that have a tint or or
ango m : xed with brown, because tho red they add
to this tint will be ot a brick re I hue. In tho lut
tei case a dark green will be less objectionable
than a delicate green.
Yellow Drapery —Yellow imparts violet to a
fair skin, and i i this view it is less favorablo than
the delicute green. To those skins which are
more yellow then orange it imparts while ; but
this combination is very dull and heavy f,r » fair
complexion. When the skin is tinted more with
orange than yellow, we can moke it ro: eale by
neutralizing the yellow. It produces this cfivcl
upon the biaok haired typo, and it is thr.s that it
suits brunottes.
Vijlet Draperies.— Violet, tho complimentary
of yellow produces contrary effects; thu > it im
parts some greenish yellow to fair complexions.
It augments the yellow tint of yell' w and orange
skin, lbe little blue there may be in a com
plexion it makes grocn. Viole*, then, is cue of
the least favorable colors to tho skin, at least,
when it is not sufficiently deep to whiten it by
contrast of tone.
Biue Drapery —Blue imparts orarge, wh ; ch is
sueceptible ot allying itself favorable to white and
tho 1 ght fljsh tints of fair comp'ex ons, which
have already a more or less determined tint of this
color. Blue is then, suitable to most blondes, and
in this case justifies its reputation. It will not
suit brunettes, since they have already too much
of too orange.
Cbanse Drapery. —Orange is too brilliaji* be
elegant; it makes fair complexions blue, wh lens
those which have an orange tint, and givos a green
hue to those of a >e!iow tint.
Whits Drapery. —Drapery of a lustreless white,
Mich as a caruonc muslin, assorts well w:ih a fresh
complexion, of which it relieves the rose color, but
il is unsuitable to a complexion which have a dis
agreeable tint, because white always exults II
c-.lore by raising their tone, consequently it is un
suitable to those skins which, without having their
di-agreeable tint, very nearly approach it. V ry
bght dr peries, such as muslin, plaited or point
lece have an entirely different aspect
Black Drapery. —Biack Draperies, lowering the
tens of thecolo/s with which they are in juxta
position whiiea the skin ; but it the vermilhon or
rosy parts are to a certain poiDt distant from the
drapery, it will follow that, although lowered in
tone, they appear relatively to the white parts cf
the skin contiguous to this same drapery, redder
tban if the contiguity to the black did not
exist. —Harmony of Color 81 by M. E. Chevrettl.
Fire in Chaliston.— At abou* e even o’c’ock
yest rday morning the back Kitchen of the new
residence of Messrs. J. and B. Li* as, at the West
end of 1 radd street, was destroyed by fire, in
volving aloes of about SI2OO, which was covered
by an insurance in the Charleston Insurance and
Trust Company.
During the prevalence of tho above fire flames
were discovered in the clothing store, $lO King
s’reet, owned by Mr. Raymond and occupied by
Mr. John Ashim, but they were speedily ex
tinguished. This is the second time within a
week that this store has been on fire.
Again, a: about a quarter before ten o’clock last
evening, the fi eraen were cal.ed o at, in couse
quenoe of a rire having cocurred in the workshop
in the rear of the residence of Messrs Ansel &
R:bkopf, csbinet makers in K ng, opposite Wolf
street. The slimes, however, weae promptly sub
dued, and little or no damage was sustained. The
building is the property of Mr. C. Erickscn. We
regret to earn that at thU fire the hose of one
Company bad two section* cut whilst ex ended.
From the above it is clearly evident that incen
diaries are at work in this city, and we are grati
fied to observe from a notice in ano'ber column,
that the Presidents of the Charleston Insurance
and Trust Company, of the South Carolina Insu
rance Company, and of the Firemen’s Insurance
Company have cor jointly offered a reward of SLCOO
for proof to conviction of any parties guilty cf an
attempt to set fire. The City Council have, also,
offered a similar reward.— Lhar. Ojurtir, 16 ihirut.
Barnuk. —Barmen, in a late letter defending his
autobiography from various just and severe criti
cism*, remarks that he is not obliged to furnish
his readers with brains. We presume not. He
has furnished a good man j extraordinary *hirgs
in his time, but to supply peop e with bnios who
buy ruch trash aahi-4 literary wares, is asking a little
too much even ot Barnum. Tne complaint of the
critics, however, is, not that the patrons of Barnum
have no Drains, but that there is no braica in the
book or the author, except a low capacity for
trickery and cheating, each ae is shared in com
mon with himself by the most vulgarand debased
inmates of jaHfcand penitentiaries.— Rich. J/it,

Yellow Fever In Korfulk aud PortMiuou'h.
The Board of Health lor Norfolk for the 43
honr» ending Monday, at 2 i\ M., report 8 deaths
from fever: Iq the Hospital 8.
Tho house* at L.unbert’s Point Race Conrso,
abiut four miles fro/n the city, had been fitted up
tor the eick, who were curried there Sunday, from
tho temporary hospital, near Oak Grove.
Yesterday, by tho proclamation of tho M°yor,
was ob-ervod usadoy “for prayer to the Almighty,
that He would look down upon tho ifH oted city
with compassion, and in H<s infinite mercy stay
the dreadful s< outgo that is prevailing to some
extent at present in our midst.”
The Norfolk Herald rotates a sad occurrence
there on Suuday. A s’ranger, carrying an oil
cloth bag in his hand, was seen staggering in Maiu
street, opposite Bunk, it was supposed from tho ef
fect oftiquoi ] but on turning into the entry to go
up a flight of stairs to Dr. Constable's elite's be
fell, and in less than fifteen minutes expired. Upon
enquiry, it appeared that he was one of several
bourdors a' a bouse which had been closed and he
was left in it sick with the fever, without atten
dance or necessaries of any kind, that in the Inst
stage of the disease, when the victi n is mocked
with the deceptive consciousness of returning
health, he wont out in order to procure a pormi' to
go to the hospital; but had j ist strength to reach
the spot mentioned when ho became exhausted,
and death closed tho scene. His name, wo learn,
was Stapleton—an Irishman, about two years in
the country, and hud boon employed in tho navy
yard. Iu somewhat more than an hour he was ta
ken away for interment.
From Portsmouth we have no official account,
but learn that the fever had not abated.
The Argus, speaking of the effect of tho fover,
says : “ A etampedo has taken place among us.
Our city looks deserted. Thousands of people
have fl d. Panic bus prevailed over the better
judgment of our citizens ; aud business is almost

Correspondence of the Newark Dai’v Jdvertieer.
Rome, July 18, 1855.
Tho ravages of the cholera and brigandage in the
Northern province of the Sla'es of the Church,
have excited the active sympathies of the govern
ment, which has sent large sums for tho reliet of
the sufferers. Many travellers and resident fami
lies have been brutally robbed by tho bands of
brigands that patrol the country. Ancona, a sea
port on tho Adriatic, with a population of 80,000,
has nearly depopulated by fright and the cholera.
Though over 10,000 of the people have 11 d to
other parts, the cholera cases number from 150 to*
200 duily. Bologna, too, which has hitherto whol
■y escaped the malady, is also suffering dreadfully,
tho dailv reports having reached 120. Venice,
Padua, Veona, and iu fact nearly every town in
the country suffer more or less Tho whole num
ber in veuica since tho reappearance of the
scource it|is reported officially at 2,110. A note
from a medical friend at Floreuco mentions that
there have beon from 20 to 80 cases there daily for
a week or two, though as yet nearly altogether
among the lower and destitute c'asses. In Leg
horn there is about the same average Here in
Rome, the population is happily exempt. The
thermometer has not rißon above 88 deg. this sea
son.
De Felio', the desperate hatter, who recently at
tempted the life of Cardinal Autonolli in a fit of
despair, was guillotined a few days since, accord
ing to the sentence, at o’clock in the morning
—the Pope having refused the potitition for a
pardon. The Cardinal has since paid a protested
promissory note, which is said to have thrown the
poor fellow into a phrenzy, in order to save his
shop for his family. There have boon frequent
arrests within a few days in the interior districts,
on the pretence of political agitation and a dozen
young Italians were executed at Ferrora recoatly,
under I he senteuce of a court martiul. A foolish
letter from Mczziui, exhorting his countrymen to
profit by the alienation of fi ustria and tho Western
Allies, is made the occasion of increased oppres
sion.
The Eleventh Commandment —At the annual
exhibition of ib« Grammar bcbools of Boston, the
Hon. Edward Everett c osod an admirable speech
with the following capital anecdote :
The celebrated Archbishop Usher was, in his
younger days, wrecked on the coast of Ireland, at
a place where his person and charnctar wore alike
mkuown. Striped of everything, he wandered to
the house of a diguilary o the church, in search of
shelter and relief, craving assistance as a brother
clergyman. The dignitury, struck with his
squallid appearance after the wreck, distrusted
his tale, and doubted his character; and said that,
so far from being a cleigyman, he did not bclievo
he could evon tell how many commaodmentsthoro
were. “I can at once satisfy you,” said the Arch
bishop, “that I atn not the ignoraut imposter you
take me for. There are eleven commandments.”
This answer confirmed the d’gnitary in his sus
picions, and he replied with a sneer, “Indeed
theie are but ten commandments in roy bicle;
tel Ime the eleventh, and I will relieve you.”
“ Here it is,” said the Archbishop, “A new com
mandment I give unto ye love one anoth
er.”
Later whom Tampio >.—By t' e arrival of Capt.
Laurent, from Tatnpico we are informed that that
port, on or about the 6th inst., was visited by a
severe norther, which joined to continual heavy
rains,caused a disastrous overflow of tho city. The
lof-s and damage done to goods waa very heavy,
aDd the destruction to life and property was no )o*a
severe. The pilot stations at the mouth of the
river, together with the tort, were completely
washed a/.av, as was also the ground which tbo>
occupied. A like inundation has not been expe
rienced in Tampico for the last thirty yetrs.
Eleven ves els were lying outside the bar, ard
several of them lost their decklcads. Tho schoo
ner J. H. Dicks, of New Haven, from Motile, with
lumber, was struck by lightning, carrying away
her mainmast, and injuring her so severely as to
cause her to be condemned. On tto 25th, alter
the gale had subsided, the schooner Mary Caro
line, Capt. Laurent, in charge of two pilots, endea
voring to cross the ba ; attack the nrrthorn break
ers, and vessel and cargo soon becume a total

Assyrian Antiquities.— B>ron complained of
our scam keowledire or Assyrian lire. His gor
geous drama of “Sardanapalns”—the conception
of the hero, and the moral sotting of the p lay—rose
out of the poet’s mind rather than from known
materials. The scene was a ereUicn. Thirty five
years have passed, and thanks to Rawlinson and
Lnyard, the English Court is with that of Egypt.
Our knowledge too is dady deepening. Among
the many curious illustrations of Assyrian life
brought heme by Col. Bnwliuson from the East,
and now on view a‘ tho British Museum—where
they have been visited during the week by the
Majesty of England—are, an alaba-ter va*e, con
taining seme remains of sweatmeats, various ob
jdets in gold and ivory, part of tho throne of Bar
danapalus, many inscriptions relating to the de<di
of men celebrated in secular and sacred history—
such as Nebuchadnezzar, Sardanapalus, and Tig
latn-Pileser—gems and othor personal ornaments;
together with a series of drawings, made by ar
lists on the ppot, from slabs impossible to brirg
away from their ancient resting places, repre*eat
ing the more heroic forms of ant'quo relax iiion—
lion hunt 3, banquets, and the like. How strange
to think of these spoils of the proud dynast/ of
Serairamis, after three thousand years, oeing vis
ited in a London Museum by a lady who reigns in
all feminine gentleness over a mightier empire
than obeyed the “ancient beldame”—who from the
ends of the earth stretched a benignant sceptre
over that verv India from which tho successor of
Ninus returned btffl.d and discomflUed Lon

To Cook New Potatcs —No matter how small
new po'a’os are, they miy be cooked so as to be e
most delicious and healthy summer vegetable.—
After boi irg, you should let them get thoroughly
cold. They should then be sliced into a woodtu

very tioe. Put them into a t*yiig p n and lot
them warm over a plow tire, addiDg a lump of but

Another Method. —B rrpe the po atoa anl boil in

it is unquestionably ono of the finest libraries In
Europe. Ten.years igo it contained over 600,000
volumes, and the present number ia not thought to
be mneh, if any, under 8 >O,OOO. The bunding
itself is one of the two prominent ones whioh date
from the time ol Fredrick t» e Great. Tne other
is the University. Fredrick poems not to have

The books are not oouta ued in ono ball, bnt

The Horary enr. ies* are contained in a sepa

and arc odmirubly arranged for inspection. Ia ui
give u brief summary of the contents: Tho firs!

some of the moat distinguished nun whom Her

There wore three specimens from Gcedhe’s pen;
very indistinct, but yet written, I should judge,
with aorno care. Come*ions wore frequent; in
r»no p ace tho word hail boon twice corrected
Frederick app rontly wrote in great haste; the
fuguaturo, however, was more carefully executed.
Humboldt wrote a tine had, perfectly free from
blots and without corrections. Lessing’s was much
tho same, but corrected in many places. Klopstqck
vote with a trembling hand, and his manuscript
is road with great difficulty.
In another caso are curiosities of a very different
nature. Here aie tt>o Bible and the prayer-hook
ot Charles the First; tho former was placed to his
lips at the moment before his execution. How it
came into tho pot Bessie n of the Prussian govo u
mei tl do not know. Tho Bible is ot very unpre
teuding appearance, but the prayer book is very
beaut if uly bound—itß cover is of tortoise shod,
secured by massive gold clasps. Luther’s He
brew B ble, ai d h ; s own Gorman translation, aro
hero, 100, and closo by a sheet from the reformer’s
peu. Tho writing is bold and troo. Iu the next
csbc, to mato a sirong contrast is ouo of Tetxel’s
famous indulgences, and a loiter from that grout
man, Ignatius Loyola, tho founder ot the order of
J- bus. O her objects of it,teres: are, Z vingli’s
Bible, a specimen of Melancthon’a hard writing, a
very old copy of tho Koran, and a beautiful series
of portraits of the leading reformers, from the pen
cil of Louis Cranach. For Luthor’s own copy of
tho Od Testameut the English government has
offered SIOO,OOO.
In another room are to bo seen two philosophi
cal curiosities, wbioh usually excito great, interest.
They are the first air pump and the Mardeburg
hemisphere, both invented by O to Guerike.
The air pump is an odd looking contrivance, with
uot the slightest resemblance to the elegant double
barrelled ones of these days. Its single barrol is
perpendicular, end is supposed by a tripod. The
nandlo is long and ungainly, but it must havo
been an offoctivo machine, from tho account
which is given of tho results of its action. Tho
fam us hemisphere* stand close by tho pump.
Evory person who has studied natural philosophy
in our schools will remember that it required
twenty horses to draw them apart. The sphere
wbieb thoy togotber form is about two loot in
diameter.
Thi is tho only publio library in Eorlin. All
persons are allowed to avail thomseives freely of
it, simply by obtaining tho signal ire of a profess
or ot the University, or of any prominent cillz-n
who ia willing 'o be surity lor tho good usage and
prompt return of vbo bool s.
Tno method of registering tho books which are
taken out has pleased mo much* end it stems to be
capable ot general application. On a slip of pa
por, about four inches long and two broad, are
writton at tho t( y the title ol tho book desired, and
author’s name at tho bottom, the borrower’s ad
drees at the left of tho date.
This is handed to tho liberian, the book is
sought and delived, and tho slip is deposited in
a compartment like those which are devoted to
letters in the general delivery of our Boston post
otlice. Os course the compartment, is determined
by the owner’s name. "When the book is returned,
tho iibraiian merely draws the siip from its place,
tears it, and the thing is over. Thote is no need of
a sot of books, tho whole is done very quickly ; the
uniformity of the alio*, in their general appearance,
enables the librarian" to i ~ok thorn rapidly over,
and boo whether the boots have boon retained be

He calls for his book, by exhibiting a card, always
in his possession, containing his name and that of
Mb surety.
Nctmew Plantations at £in«apgbb. —A Singa
pore correspondent of tho Rochester Union gives
ihe following account of the nutmeg plantations.
He says: The nutmeg plantation I visited belongs
to a Chinaman by tho name of Wampoa, and is
situated some four mdes from the city. It is tho
most beautiful and thoroughly trophical place I
have ever seen. The pluca is surrounded by
hedge-rows of bamboo, neatly cut, and within aro
large fields in which are planted cocoanut, beetle
nut, niangostcon and nutmeg. The latter fluid
embraces nearly fifty acres, and like the others,
tho troes are in regular rows, crossing each other
at right angles, and about thirty teet apart. Some
aro of very largo b>*«, and net lees than thirty foot
in height. L'-ke coffee, tho troes require great
attention, and thorough manuring and irrigation,
and the ground must bo kept free from gruss or
weeds. They aro removed from the nursery the
second year, and for two years after must bo kept
covered l*om tho burning sun by mats, which are
spread over them by means of four supports set in
the gronud.
Tno roots aro also mulched with coarse litter.
They commence bearing four to five years from the
planting; but the tree does not produce its full
crop until it is eighteen years old. The produce
of a treo is then worth five or six dollars a yeur.
Odq nutmeg per day from each treo is regarded as
a profitable y eld. Upon the trro before tho husk
opens, the fruit does n t look unlike tho hiok ry
nut before the shell drops. They are fit to pick
when tho outer fafio l opens, so as to disclose tho
muco which covers tho inner shell that encloses
tho fruit; and tho trees are examined overy mor
ning throughout the year, to see it any ot the fruit
is fit to pica. When it i 3 ready to gather, the
mace is a most brilliant crimson, and exceedingly
pret’y. After it is plucked, the outer shell b
thrown awHy, tt on tho mace is carefully taken eff
flattened w*lh the hand, and spread on wooden
travsto dry.
It is occasiona'ly tnrnod over, and the rain k' pt
from it until thoroughly dry, when it is put in bags
for market. The nut is also placed on wooden or
metal p uis, and kept in tho sun until the nut
within will rattle about in ’.lie shell, when the shell
is broken <ff and the nut is ready to be sacked,
and sent to market. If the shell which covers the
nu meg is broken before tho fruit is dry, it is ru
ined ; and great care is '-xercisol, therefore, in
this process ofdryirg. Besides the nutmeg, my
Ch n°se entertainer deriv-s quite a revenue from
his cocoanut, beslior ur, and mangosteen orohtrd.
Tho mangosteen is held in the highest reputo
of any fruit in the tropics, and is grown in greutor
perfection at Singapore and Bona- g than elsow ere.
1 must confess to what, in tho opinion of my fal
low L>aveiler, was regarded as wanting in a just
appreciation of its guaiities, when 1 declared it
quite inferior to tho bolter variety of our peaches
—or, indeed, to the Tekoi or white Doyenne
peach.
Dangers of the Di in® Pell —During some
weeks past a diving bell has boon successfully cm
ployed in facilitating the operations for widening
tho draw at the New * cdford and Fairhavon
bridge. The usual period of tirro which persons
can remain in tho d ving bill with safety during its
immersion, we believe, is about for»y five minutes.
On Satur ay last two men who had imprudently
remained in the bell about an hour gavo the sig
nul to be hoisted up immediately, and although
this speedily performed, one of them had
fainted before emerging into the open air; proba
bly in cGnscquO'jOO of the atmosphere in tho bell
becoming bad from its continued respiration. A
slight ad iit.oual delay would probably have heen
attended with fatal consequences. Another per
son recently, on being raise 1 in the bell to tho
surface, was attacked w.tb bleeding at tho nose,
accompanied with symptoms of fever and fgue.
An Itirhuian also, cn h : s first descent in tho bed,
alter a few minuter, gave tho s g lal to be hoisted
up forthwith, and on mee iug bis friends declarjd
that his head foil as if about to burnt, end that ho
narrowly escaped death. —Few Bedford. Mercury.

in its irresistible, devastating course over the land.
The stream as it m-jvol qu its course do..’n the
vall-y, Homeliraos rushing through a narrow defile
in the rock.', and then b?»reading out into a wider
aud ruoro nn.jestic river of tire as it reached iha
gentler slope below, cun .-hardly bo dehcribsd. Wo
walked before it as it advanced, presenting Its j

cooling surface ‘would buret the molten
for a moment would hiss and cralklo aa it cov \red
any green object, and then hardening by tho cx
pom.o the gup would close again. Wo stood be
side it as ip passed and thrust our stio b into it,
which bor::ed like tinder.
The most vioiont part of the eruption course
becurred at the tiino the new craters oponod* whea
tho force r.ecefw»nry to burst through tho Bide o?
the mountain threw up amount of rod
hot lava at tho outset. But although ftn* »ooir
p'ace early in ihc month, tho lava has continued to
flow from them in an almost uucoiHng ttroain
nearly to this date. Tho exc.temont which attend
ed the outbrerk was tremeudous. The of
Naples tronibled for their city, and more especial
ly for the villages which were between them end
tho mountain. Thousand of Neapolitans ond
strangors, whom tho unusual scone attracted,
flocked to the summit ot the moun.uiu to fpzi at
'he current issuing from tho craters. Kogimouts
of soldiers wore sent out by tho goverurneni to
preao vo order. A canlinel and bishop, with the
sacred emblem knelt before tho “flood ot tire 5 ’
and prayed that Heaven would proservo thorn and
their houses from destruction, and the poor peas
ants, who doubted i.ot lor an instant their powor
to stay by a miracle the progress ot devastation,
saw their humblo ‘ omes, the gardens thoy had
tended uud the vineyards they bad planted, all
oi:veloped in tho flory tavu.
With tho rest, wo asa nded tho mountain during
tho eruption, starting from tho villngo of
which is buil over tho buried city of lierculanoum.
Our bonus took us to the base of trie Cone and
within one hundrod yards of the largosl ot the
new craters.
From the base of the mountain to tho top, at
s* ort intervals, wo found booths and refreshment
houses established for tho convenience of travel
lers, which wero well patron zed, so groat wore
the crowod of peop'e to visit this interesting spec
tacle. Following our guide wo commenced climb
ing over tho rough fragments of tho lava, which
by cracking aud cooling uhhu noa tho most distor
ted and fantastic shapes. Ocean.onally wo crossed
a smooth surfuco which sounded hollow to tno
stroke of our canes, and wo involuntary shrank
bic« from fear of the toot boiling cavern Inlow,
but the guide said there was no clangor, and wo
passed over them in safoty. In one plaoj we sto'd
for an instant locking down,into a crater, whi otlio
half-cooled lava was burning our feet as wo stood
upon it. Thin was a crater from which tho oi op
tions had ceased, but far down in tho fijrv cavern
we could percoivo the melting lava, and tho int<-r
--uai fires lit np tho who'e wHh a splendor that tho
art of man fails to accomplish. It was u go< ruo
ous cavern, flaming “w ith seeds of gold,'* its floor
and dome studdod with preoioua pearls, whiio r,ta
lactities of mineral finer thun art can imitate encis
cled the opening. Tho burning of our f jot, and.i ho
fumes of sulphur caused us to leave this dangerr us
but most bewitching spot sooner than wo wi hod.
Iu some places tho lava cooling on tho lop and tho
sides oi the stroam, hud formed an almost cyl» i
dricnl chaunel for tho pasi-ugoof the current, and
breaking through this tho running lava wus per
ceptible. Tho largest crater which is al o noaroiit
to the base of the cono, has common ced to form a
new cone by the outpouring of small quantities < f
lava and various mineral suits, buti>e tho force of
tho e option is over it is not probubio that ll will
acquire any considerable size.
The Slave (^ckbuon.—We commend to tho pub
lic attention tho following calm statement of tho
historical fuels relating to this much agitated sub
j -ct. It is an oration delivered by tho Hon. Tbeo
doroFrelinghuyseu boforo the students of Kurd's
Oollego. it will be found to prosont, in a few
concise words, the origin of that clause in the
Federal compact which recognizns slavery as a
local institution, and the duties of the several
States with respect to it:
When the Constitution of tho United States was
under advisement, by tho law of cations a tlnvo
escaping to a free country hecamo free. Tho
rtlaveholding Stales wore unwilling to form a uu'ou
upon the basis of that international law between
independent Sttttos. They proposed to the ireo
States, if you wish to uuito with us, and thus form
one people in closer bonds than by tho goueral
law of uations, then this luw of tho fugitive siave
must bo so mod fled that wo shull have tho same
right to reclaim iu jour Stato that we now have ia
any eounty in our own Stato. Our forefathers
agreed to this modification, aud the thirteen c do
ilies unanimously adopted it, and thus loft slavery
u domestic institution iu ail the Slutcs where it
existed.
This is the truo political state of ho quotation*
and therefore wo ouuuot dirtuibil. As r. great
moral aud social ovil, it is open to freo considera
tion and debate, as are ali ocher matters pertaining
to moral duty. But politically wo agreed to ioavo
it where we found it, and that wus with ihoeiuvj
holding Slates, with all its responsibilities. The
whole case fa with thorn.
It is a gravely momentuouß subject, encompas
sed by perplexing difficulties that call lor delibera
tion, and candor, and good temper. Aud tnoro
than this: it invokes afresh tho cherished and fra
ternal feelings that formed tho American constitu
tion, which has so long and so illustriously shown
how much of human wisdom and toreci s', and
how much more of d.vino bonignity, cJowued this
first great experiment of a tree and seif governed
people. May it bo perpetual I Muy no rush hand
mar its glory or dure disturb its foundations!
Should not almost eighty years of prospciou* free
dom plead for our Union f Should not the smiles
of God’s favor toward us ior all Ihnt time hush
the murmurs of discontent, and porsuaio us rath
er to patience and hope ? Let us wait for the heal
ings of time, and kindness aud tho sure growth of
better feelmgs, that wiil follow the spread and pow
er of the Gospel of peace. Let us tor the sake of
human liberty, and man’s last hope, wait and bear,
and forbear, iu the fear of God and & living prajec
of His guidance.
A Fact worth I’ONnEiiiNO —We have the fol
lowing lacts from a responsible gentleman who
speaks from his own knowledge. In u single dis
trict in one of the counties < 1 Middle Georgia the
(county and district can be given if neec be,) i bore
aro thirteen voter* end ot e thousand hluvi-m. A
retail grog seller in the district sold during one
Christmas week (|7uu) seven Hundred dollars
worth of liquor. Wbo were tho purchasers it will
not be difficult to decide notwithstanding, the law
inhibiiiDg its sale to the “peculiar iuftitution”
without the “erder of the owner, overseer, or
guardian of free persons of color.”
Let these facts and hundreds of othftM of sim
ilar character speak for themselves. Let tho hue
and cry against the grog seller be stopped so long
as the law loguliz's his sales. Each eitixsn of the
state so long as ho refuses to vote it from tho stat
ute book gives bis approval to the law, and as we
are a law abiding poop o we most submit and pray
God to shield us, our wives and child en, from the
dreadful con equonmi to bo apprehended from a
drunken serfdom .—Sandertvi'le Georgian.
Whipped to Death.— We learn from the Troy
Bulletin, that a slave of Samuel Trotter, was whip*
ped to death in Pike county, Alabama, on the 27 h
ult., by men, Francis Powledge, Moses J,
Powlcdge, and William G. Shepherd. An it quest
was held on the following morning, and a verdict
in accordance with the facts returned. Tho per
petrators of this diabolical deod have maJe their
es-c pe, bat it is to be hoped that they will be
overtaken and brought to yustico. Just such in
stances of the cruel treatment of slaves, r re though
they bo, have done more to bring odium upon tho
institution than all the fabrications of fanaticism
combined. This act of cold blooded murder—
even though tbo victim xu » u slave—should be
dealt with in a manner which will deter others
from like cruelti.s.— Oolumbu* Sun.
Hancock Items.—Ebhop Tikkoz— The friends
of this distinguish divine in this c -unty, w ll be
pleaded | to learn that he lis given up all i ea of
mokiDg any change in h s residence. He will
make old Hancock, his Icdh tried aud well beloved
home, his residence. His address has been
changed from Sparta to Calverton.
Preoccious Fecundity —Mr. John P. of
this county has a negro woman or rather g rl just
sixteen years of age who is tho motfce' ifn.reo
children. The first is a fire likely boy, born
when bis motbor was but twelve.
The Factory —We are ploased to state that tho
sale of the Hauccck manufactory establishment has
been postponed, and tho Directors have pur
chased materials aud begun operations again.
Cotton ( b>f.—Wo are asfiurcd by Bcvora! intel
ligent planters that the prospect of the cotton crop
is much bettor than w:.b anticipated sometime
ago especially on tbo red lands. While the weed
ia much larger than usual, it has a full q iota of
forms, aud if the showers keep up a fe* weeks
longer we doub r o’ the crop will be abundant.—

California. —The Rev. Bishop Andrew, who
has receully returned from an oflio al visit to
California, in a letter to the editor of tho New
Orleans Advocate ssy3:
Very lew persons East of tho Isthmus have any
proper ooncepliou of the ex’ent cf the K aloof
Ca.ifornia. At the last session of the Le/islßtnre
a committee was appointed to consider the proprie
ty of dividing the Stale. Thiß committed reported
ia favor of div ding the State into three States, to
be called California, Colorado aud Shasta. This
division will prubaDly taki place, and etch of
these States will be very respeott ble for sizo.
The Calhoun Contention. —We ioarn by those
who attended this Convention that »boat three
ihoas&ni people turned out to hear American
principles expounded.
The speakers were Col. Fouche end J. K Alex

The number of persona iu attendance v. as at least
four times as large as that of the proceeding da w

to learn that ibe Americans ot Gordon are wid«
