Th* Memphis Delegation—Thk Railroad
Ati idem s.-—The accidents tot lie train, by which
one of the ©x< undoniHto lont his life, and others
were riounly injured, are to be attributed, we
think, to the attempt to run an entire train through,
tot i ' 1 d i" the dit
ferent rodds, Home of v. Siieli were old. Although
the train which lelt Augusta for the late celebration
at Memphis, performed the entire trip to Memphis
and back without an Accident, yet we think it ad
visable, on all such nccAsionH, to let each road fur
nish its own train of < , which are adapted to the
road. Had this been done on this occasion, we
think if probable, no incident would have oeeurred.

barren rock, on which the sou had absolutely to be

iu the fissures ol the rock, in which the cane is
planted. It is dependent upon India for its vege
tables, aud out he Cape of Good Hope for animal
food. The distance bet ween Calcutta aud Mauritius
is not so formidable as to prevent the shipment of
coolies, who are willing to go there for a short time
Their labor is obtained at an extremely low rate of
wages, and the expenditure required ou account of
the natural sterility of the soil is gaiued in tfce low
price at w hich the services of the coolies can be ob
tained. Ihe who.e sugar trade ot this Island is now
iu the hands of one of the merchant princes of Lon

and year by year inert -.ring its sugar production.—
Mauritius is said to be competent to furnish one

The i haracterof tVimliingion.
The f lowing chapter of the fourth volume of Ir
ving's Life of Washington (soon to be
contains the annexed fine portrait of the Pater Pa
triot :
In the volumes here concluded we have endeav
oredto narrate faithfully tbe character of Washing
ton from childhood, through his early surveying ex
peditio :s in the wilderness, bis diplomatic mission
to the French posts on the frontier, his campaigns in
the French war, bin arduous trials ae commander-in
chief throughout the Revolution, the nobie simplici
ty <»f his life in retirement, until we have shown him
elevated to the Presidential chair, by no effort of
his own. in a manner against his wishes, by the
unanimous vote of a grateful country.
The plan of oar work has necessarily carried us
widely into the campaigns of the Revolution, even
where Washington was not present in person; for
his spirit j ervaded and directed the whole, and a
general knowledge of the whole is necessary to ap
preciate the sagacity, forecast, enduring fortitude,
and comprehensive wisdom with which he conduct
ed it. lie himself has signified to one who aspired
to write his biography, that any memoirs of his life
distinct and unconnected with the history of the
war would be unsatisfactory. In treating of the
Revolution, we have endeavored to do justice to
what we consider its most s;nking characteristics
—the greatness of the object and the scantiness of
the means. We have endeavored to keep in view
the prevailing poverty of resources, the scandalous
neglects the squalid miseries of all kinds with
which its champions had to contend in their expedi
tions through trackless wilderness or thinly peopled
.eg ona . beneath scorching suns or inclement .-kies;
their wintry marches to be traced by bloody foot
print* on snow and ice ; their desolate wintry eri
camp men ts, rendered still more desolate by nak-;d
neas and famine. It was in the patience and forti
tude with which these ills were sustained by a half
disciplined yeomanry, voluntary exiles from their
home.*, destitute of all the ‘ pomp and circumstance”
oh war to excite them, and animated solely by their
patriot Urn, that we read tlie noblest and mod af
fecting characteristics of that great struggle for hu
man rights. Thej do wrong to its moral grandeur
who seek by commonplace exaggeration to give a
melo-dramatic effect and false glare to its military
operations, and to place its greatest triumphs in the
conflicts of the field. Layrayette showed a true
sense of the nature of the struggle when Napoleon,
accustomed to affect ambitious purposes by bun
dreda of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of
of slain sneered at the scanty armies of the A uteri
can Revolution and its “boasted battles/’ “Sire, ’
was the admirable and comprehensive reply, “it
was the grandest >f causes won by olsen
tinels an i outposts/'
In regard to the character and conduct of Wash
ington we have endeavored to place his deeds in
lhe o,b arest light, and left them to speak for them
selves generally avoiding comment or eulogium.—
We have quoted his own words and writings large
ly to explain bis feelings and motives and give the
true k* yto his policy; for never did man leave a
more truthful mirror of his heart and mind and a
more thorough exponent of his conduct than he has
left in copious correspondence. There his character
is to be found in all its majestic simplicity, its mas
Hive grandeur, and quiet colossal strength. He was
•io hero|of romance ; there was nothing of romantic
heroism in his nature. As a warrior he was incapa
b*e (if fear, but made no merit of defying danger.
He fought for a cause* not for personal renown.—
(iladly, when lie had won tbe cause, he hung up his
sword, never again to take it down. Glory, that
blatant word which haunts some military minds like
rbe bray of the trumpet, formed no part of his aspi
rations. To act justly was his instinct, to promote
rhe public weal his constant effort, to deserve the
affection of good men his ambition. With such
qualifications for the pure exercise of sound judg
m.cut and comprehensive wisdom, he ascended the
Presidential chair.
There, for the present, we leave him. »So far our
work is complete, comprehending the w) ole mili
tary life of Washington and his agency in public
affairs up to the formation of ourC institution. How
well we have executed it we leave to the public to
determine ; hoping to find it, as heretofore, far more
easily satisfied with the result of our labors than we
were ourselves. Should the measure of health and
good spirits —with which a kind Providence has
blessed us beyond the usual term of literary labor
—be still continued, we may go on, and in another
volumegive the Presidential career closing Life of
Washington. In the mean time, having found a
resting place in our task, we stay our hands, lay by
our pens, and seek that relaxation and repose which
gathering years require.
Correspondence of Ike N. V. Tribune.
l><-»trtiriinii of iln* Nanking Porcelain Tower.
Sir: —l enclose herewith a slip from the North
China Herald, dated January 17, published at
Shanghai.
It contains a description of the famous Porcelain
Tower of Nankin, which is said to have been lately
destroyed by or‘er of the leader of the Taiping
rebels, Hung Siu tsiuen, commonly called the Tap
ing Wang.
As the events now occurring in China seem like
ly to result in very important changes, and to attract
more than ever the attention of the Western nations
toward that vast but little known portion of the hu
man family, I think it probable that an authentic
description of this magnificent monument of filial
affection will be read with more than ordinary in
terest. If the report of its destruction be true, it
is very much to be deplored, for the tower was not
only a noble monument jn itself, but a splendid il
luHtration of the most pleading nature of the Chi
nese character
It appears by the accounts published in the North
China Herald of Jd inst., and confirmed in a letter
in our last issue, tlial the wonder of China, the Nan
kin Pogoda, or so called Porcelain Tower exists no
longer. Our informant says it was blown up by or
ders from Hung Sin tsiuen about (he time that the
head of Wei, the Northern king was demanded of
him by Shih Tah-kai, the assistant king, [vide North
China Herald No. 3J6] under the apprehension that
it might be taken possession of by one of the other
leaders, fortified, and directed against the city,
which it commands
A description of this far-famed tower will be in
teresting to our readers al this time. Du Halde
says, ‘*it is without dispute the-tallest and most
beautiful of all .those to be seen in China.” Iu 185‘J,
Dr Taylor, a missionary, who had visited Nankin
in disguise, communicated an article to thisjournul,
entitled, “A trip to Nankin.” From it we reprint
the following :
“But by far the most interesting and attractive
object in Nanking is the famous Porcelain Tower of
the world wide celebrity.
“It was built about the year 1413, by Yung 1011,
the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. Represen
tations of it are found in nearly all the schoolgeo
graphies of civilized nations ; and wel. do many of
us remember the school boy idea w r e formed of its
milky whiteness associated with the term porcelain ;
while in reality but a comparatively small portion of
it is white. Green is the predominant color, from
the fact that the curved titles of its projecting roofs
are all of this color, while the wood work support
ing these roofs is of the most substantial character,
in the peculiar style of Cbii ?se architecture, curi
ously wrought and richly painted in various colors.
The body or shaft of the edifice is built of large, well
burnt hi ick, and on the exterior surface they are red,
yellow, green, and white. The bricks aud tiles are
of very fine clny, and highly glazed, so that the tow
er presents a most gay and beautiful appearance,
which is greatly lightened when seen in the reflect
ed sunlight. IL has nine stories, and is ii6o English
feet high. At the base, it is over 300 feet iu circum
ference, « ich side of the octagon being about 40
feet. After the first or ground story, all the others
are quadrangular on the inside, iustead of conform
ing to the octagonal exterior. On each face is an
arched opening in which one can stand and lookout
upon the surrounding scenery; but a wooden gra
t ing prevents you fioin stepping out upon the gaile
ries, which are not provided with balustrades. The
inner walls of each story are formed oi black pol
ished tiles, a foot square, on each of which au image
of Buddha is molded in bas-relief ', and is riculy gilt.
There are, on an average, more tuan two hundred
of these images iu each story giving an aggregate of
near two thousand in all. A rteep staircase on one
side of each square apartment leads to the one
auove, and by this means, you may reach the top,
from wilich a magnificent panorama is seen spread
out before you—the whole city of Nanking toward
the north, but as it were, at your feet —its fine am
phitheater of hills, yet not so high as to shut out a
prospect beyond, in some directions as far as the eye
cau reach—then three or four miles distaut, north
ward, you see the noble Yang tze-kianpr, from which
a canal leads up to the city, aud surrounds it, form
ing the moat.
“A fine, spacious temple, covered writh yellow,
glazed tiles and tilled with gilded idols, stands it the
loot of this Pagoda, and iu the same extensive iu
closure. Here we purchased of a priest a native
cut, representing the Tower, aud containing some
particulars relative to its history. Os a portion of
it the following is a translation :
“ *1 he Emperor Yuug loh desiring to reward the
kindness of his mother, began, in the tenth year of
his reign, in the sixth month aud fifteenth day, at
midday, to build fhis tower. It was completed iu
the sixth year of the Emperor Sieu tali, on the first
day of eighth month, having occupied niueteen
years in its erection. The order of the Emperor to
one of his Ministers, Wong-ti-tah, of the Board of
Public Works, was to build a tower according to a
draft which he had prepared and put into his hands.
It was to be nine stories high, the bricks aud tiles
to be glazed and of the ‘five colors aud it was to
be superior to all others in order to make widely
known the virtues of his mother. Its Light was to
he 30riba*g,9 feet. 4 inches and 3-10ths of an inch.
The ball on its spire to be of yellow brass overlaid
with gold, so that it might last forever, ai d never
grow dim. From its eight books as many iron
chains extend to the eight corners of the highest
root*; aud from each chain, nine bells, suspended at
equal distance apart. These, together with eight
from the corners of each projecting roof, amounting
to 114 bells. Ou the outer face of each story are lb
lanterns, I*JB in all.-which, with 1“ ou the inside,
make 110. It requires 64 catties of oil to nil them
Their light shines through ‘the 33 heavens,* and
even illuminates the hearts of all men, good and
bad, eternally removing human misery. On the
top of the highest roof are two brazen vessels, to
gether weighing 450 catties. The grounds belong
mg to the pagoda and occupied by temples and
other buildings ju e 9lt and 33 paces iu circumfer
nice. Having been adorned by the Emperor Yuog
k*h, its brilliancy will now endure to hundreds of
generations —a monument of recompensing kind
ness to myriads of years. Therefore it is named
P iu-£an xz, i. e., Recoin pens nag Tar or Pagoda. —
\n inscription on a tablet within calls it ‘The First
Pagoda. * Its cost was ‘2,485,484 taels of 5i1ver—
t53,452,000.) Encircling the spire are uiqe iron
rings—the largest bemg 03 feet iu circumference,
ud the smallest 24 feet—all together weighing
>1,600 catties. In the bowl ou the top are deposited
one night-shing pearl, one water-averting pearl,
one fire averting pearl, one wiud-averting pearl,
one dust averting pearl, a lump of gold weighing 10
taels, a picul of tea leaves, 1,000 taels of silver, one
lump of orpiment weighing 100 watties, one pre
cious stone gem. 1,000 strings of ‘cash' bearing the
stamp of the Emperor Yuug-loh, two pieces of yel
low satin and four copies ot Buddhist classics.
“ ‘ln the fifth year of the Emperor Kia-king of
the present dynasty, on the fifth month and fif
teenth day. at daylight in the morning, the god of
thuuder drove poUonous reptiles to this pagoda, and
immediately three sides ot it were injured. The
strength of the god of thunder was very great, but
Buddha's resource-* were infiuite, therefore the
w hole edifice was cot destroyed. The two highest
mandarins at Nankin audSm uau.theTsung-toh and
Fu tai, thereupon informed the Emperor of the ac
> d nt. aud besought hi*n to have it repaired. So
m she seventh jkear of • is reign, ou the second
month and sixth day, the repairs were begun, and
were finished on the second day ot the sixth month,
i. die same year, so that the building was as per
lect as when new.'
"Such is the native account of this remarkable
edince . and when, on turning a corner of one of the
I<u Ef ln fb** ions enclosure, we came
suddenly in view of the whole structure at once its
beauty ami grandeur tar surpassed our most K k.w
ing anticipations. But by far the most interesting
circumstance associated with the Porcelain Tower
is the fact that it is a monument of filial affection—
a magnificent tribute of the gratitude of a son for
his mother's love.
Here is another of the many striking contrasts
between the customs of the Chinese and of West
ern nations. We eposit the record of the com
mencement of the work at its base aud under the
superstructure. They, more significantly,do soon
its completion at its summit. The conception of
tiie Chinese is the most sublime and grand—/■ ■ us
-onat opus —but practically they may be wrong,
as is suggested by the reports in Nankin that the
tower was blown ”.p in order that the treasures of
course exaggerated in amount by the people, might
Vh? more eas.ly obtained from the almost inaccessi
ble depository. Since the possession of Nankin by
the Pai Pings all the idols in the Tower, as else
wLere. have been destroyed and the floors aid
means of ascent broken up.
Death from the Power of Imagination. —A
-tor-' is told in a late number of Nouvelie Zeitucg
of a physician who tried an experiment cn a crimi
nal. capitally condemned, illustrating the power of
imaginationC The man was permitted to see a dog
bleed to death, end to eee all the symptoms of fall
ing life as detailed by the physician, ti 1 the moment
of the animal's death. Immediately after, the crimi
nal's eyes were bandaged and his arm pierced with
a lancet, though co'vein was opened. The phyei
**ian went ou desrrfbing the same symptoms wiw
nested in the dog's cane, and finally pr> nou ced the
words, “*ow be is dying.” The man did really ex
pire under these operations, although he had not lost
a table spoonful of blood.
The Sonora Expedition.
MozcmerU* of Col. Crabb before hit Capture.
We have already announced the capture and ex
ecution of Col. Henry A. Crabb, and sixty of his fol
lowers. by the Mexican authorities of Sonora, which
Stat»- he had invaded with a design of Americanis
ing and revolutionizing it. We find in a Mexican
a letter addressed by him to the Prefect of
the District of Altar on his entry into Sonora, which
w'e translate.— Exchange.
Sonoita March 26, 1857.
“To Don Jose Maria Redondo, Prefect of the
District of Altar :
“In conformity to the colonization law of Mexico,
and in compliance with urgent invitations trom the
most influential citizens of Sonora, I have come
within the limits of this State, bringing with me one
hundred companions, and in advance of nine hun
dred others, with the design of obtaining for our
selves happier homes with and among you, I have
come with .he intention of offending no one, and
without intrigues, public or private. On reaching
this pia«.e I have made no hostile demonstrations ;
on the contrary, I have made pacific propositions.
“It w veij irue that I am provided with arms
and munitions ; but you already know that it is not
the custom of Americans, or any other civilized
people, to travel unarmed. Moreover, it will be
well to coTi.-ider that we have to pass through pla

that you arc taking measures of hostility ana are

Seizure of a Charleston Steamer.— lt see ms
difficult for Uncle Sam and our Palmetto friends to
keep out of trouble. A conflict, on a small scale, it
is true, occurred at Jacksonville, Florida, Thursday
last, in which the Collector of that port and the oflS
cere of the steamer Carolina were parties. It seems
that the steamer had been in the habit of entering at
Jacksonville, but Fernandina having recently been
made a port of entry, on her last passage down, the
Captain took out his papers at the latter port, under
the instructions of the Fernandina Collector. The
steamer made her trip up the St. Johns, and on re
turning, the Collector at Jacksonville demanded
that she should clear at that port, it being th? first
one naseed. This the captain of the Carolina re
fused to do, and, on persisting, the Collector seized
his vessel and chained her to the wharf. Neither
party seemed disposed to yield, and thus stood the
matter up to an early hour on Friday morning,
when we left Jacksonville on board the St. Johns.—
The Carolina’s passengers were transferred to the
St. Johns, and came to this city. Her freight re
mained on board, except a number of cattle intend
ed for the Charleston market, which were driven
ashore after the seizure of the steamer.
The course of the captain in this case we could
not help regarding as both unwise and unbusine?s
like, resulting in a sacrifice of the interest of his
employers that was wholly unnecessary. Instead
of obstinately standing on a point, he should have
cleared his vessel, without regard to what he con
sidered the illegality of the Collector’s demand, paid
the fees under a protest, and proceeded on his voy
age, leaving the matter to be settled between the
owners of tne vessel and the Government. Nothing
could have been lost by such a course, whereas,
by persisting in his own opinions, he has thrown
away almost the entire proceeds of his trip.— Eavh.

From Florida. —We learn from Capt. Nye, of
the schr.Paugassett, of New Bedford, arrived here
yesterday from Indian River, Fla., which place he
left on Tuesday last, 19th inst., that on or about the
12th inst., Major Dashiel, Paymaster in the United
States Army, in attempting to land from the schr.
William John, in a small boat, oi: board of which
were the Major, his son and four men, came near
being drowned. When near the outer breaker the
boat was struck by a sea and upset. Providentially
Capt. Nye, who lay at anchor within the bar, and
saw'the accident, manned his boat and put out to
their relief, and had the good fortune to save the
whole party. Major D. had with him a leather bag
containing about $23,000 in gold for the payment of
the troops on the Florida coast, which was last.—
Capt. Nye and others had made diligent search for
the lost money, since the accident, but without suc
cess ; and as the bottom of the river is a quick sand,
the probability is that the treasure will never be
recovered. We further learn from Capt. Nye, that
Capt. Seymour, with his command of United States
troops stationed at Indian River, had been recently
joined by four other companies from different points
in the Peninsular, and were to take up their quar
ters at Indian River for the summer, forming scout
ing parties in search of the Indians. The troops
were reported in good health.
We learn from the Walku 11a Times, that there
was a report at Ivey West that the Indians will
come iu to Fort Dallas, Miami, *and have a talk.—
They say that they would not surrender to General
Ilsruey, but have no objections to treating with
Cols. Loomis or Dominick — Char. Cour.
Bayard Taylor with the Finnish Girls.—
Bayard Taylor has some novel adventures in his
northern European tour, and meets with strange
customs and c uriosities. In his last letter he tells
us about stopping a couple of nights with a very
friendly old Finnish lady, where he got a bed with
sheets. The first night the mother and her sons
\frere so amazed to see him undress before retiring,
that they were curiosity bound, and did not leave
their stand-point in the rc«m until he was snugly
covered np. The revelation of what they had seen,
to other members of the family, produced a most
wonderful aimionec{the second night. Ou this oc
casion, he writes, ‘ Three buxom daughters of ages
ranging from 16 to appeared about the time for
retiring, and stati *ned themselves in a row near the
door, where they watched us with silent curiosity.
As we had shown no hesitation in the first case, we
resolved to be equally courageous now, and com
menced remo\ our garments with deliberation,
allowing them to fully inspect them. The work thus
proceeded iu mutual silence until we were nearly
ready for repose, when, by pulling of a stocking
and displaying tiie muscular calf, suddenly alarmea
the youngest, who darted to the door and nished
out. The second caught the panic and followed,
and the third and oldest was obliged to do likewise,
though with evident reluctance. The perfect com.
posure of the girls, and the steadiness with which
they watched us, showed that they were quite un
conscious of having committed any impropriety.”
Struck by the Comet. — The good,people dawn
at Indianopolis, IncL, we'.e terribly frightened on
Tuesday evening. They believe “down there” that
the comet is going to kuock our little planet “all »o
smash,’ and have been greatly exercised about it
for some time. With this belief, and under this ex
citement, they were thrown Into a state of alarm on
Tuesday evening that is described as “perfectly aw
ful.” by seeing the moon rise from behind the east
ern hills, as rod as blood, and looking like the great
head of a fiery dragon. They thought it was the
comet —that if was about to strike —that the end of
all earthly things was at baud, and they set them
selves to work, with prayers and tears and supplica
tions, to “make their peace,” and to be ready to “go
up.” So frightened were they, says the Lafayette
Journal, that the alarm bells were rung, and the fire
engines brought out, and the excitement and confu
sion for a few moments was indeaoriable. The idea
of calling out the engines, under such circumstances
was worthy of the genius of Dame Partington, who
undertook to repel au invasion of the Atlantic with
her mop. The appearance of the full orb above the
horison soon restored the people to their senses, and
converted their shrieks of affright and frenzied ap
peals to heaven into a general guffaw.
A New Oil.— A rew article, called‘‘Refined
Cotton Seed Oil,” has been introduced into the
market, for burning and machinery purposes. It is
a handsome oil, and sells at $1.03 per gallon,
bleached at sl,lO, and thecrude article at 60 to 70c.
Cotton makes an immense quantity of seed, the
only use for which, heretofore, has been as manure.
There has been much talk for several year past of
crushing it for oil, but the genera! opinion has been
t hat it Did not contain enough oil to make a paying
bnainots. Recently two mills have been put into
operation for this purpose, one at New Orleans, and
the other at Providence. The public have not yet
been informed whether the oil is good enough, or
abundantly sufficient to make the crush ingof this
seed a profitable business. Some sanguine calcula
tors at the South have, In times past, estimated that
this seed would produce the planter, when it came
to be used for oil, halt as much as cotton itself.—
Boston Traveller.
Monument to Capt. John Smith.— The recent
celebration at Jamestown, Virginia, has brought to
memory the heroic traits of character which distin
guished the master spirit of the settlers. The Rich
mond Dispatch recommends the erection ot a monu
ment to the memory of Capt. John Smith, whose
energy gave life to the enterprise in its darkest mo
ments*. The Norfolk 1 lerald records the proposition,
and says truly—
“ There is something wanting to mark the hallow
ed and classic spot where the nrst seed was planted
which has germinated and expanded into a mighty
State, and spread its branches out to distant re
gions ; and what more appropriate and striking than
the monument to the honor of the gallant hero by
whose hand it was planted and nurtured!”
The friends of the measure should avail themselves
of the existing enthusiasm ou the subject, and make
practical the suggestion without delay.
Scarcity of Sugar.—The Providence Journal
has a very sensible article on the present scarcity
of sugar, and its consequent high price. It argues
that there is but one way to meet the difficulty, and
that is not to eat it. If every family would resolve
to diminish the consumption of sugar one-half, or
one third, the evil would soon disappear; and this
sacrifice would really amount to but little. The
present exorbitantly high Drice at which the article
is selling must, as a natural consequence, check its
consumption, for the simple reason that the poorer
classes, and even those of moderate means, cannot
afford to buy it. The Providence editor thinks that
the present high prices will have the effect of stimu
lating all the domestic sources of supply, and that
the present year will produce great quantities from
the maple, and also from the Chinese cane recently
introduced. — Balt. Patriot.

New York, May 20.—The Herald of to-day says
an extensive organization throughout Massachusetts
has been discovered, drilled in the use of the mus
ket and bayonet, as well as the use of the walking
stick, subdivided into schools, classes and squads,
for the purpose of resisting the execution of the fu
gitive slave law.
This organization dates back to the Anthony
Burns’ affair, iu Boston, and now extends to every
town and village in the State. Colored men are
excluded, and the total number of members is
know n only to the five who form the Directory.
Its strength can be judged, says the Herald, from
the fact that the leaders now defy the General Gov
ernment to capture a slave in Massachusetts, out
side of the range of the cannon of the Navy Yard.
They have arms and ammunition, and two schoon
ers to convey fugitive slaves to Canada, and allege
that there are several depots of arms in the State,
within their grasp, whenever they choose to seize
them. They have hiding places for the arms among
the hills and islands of the State.

“Death’s but a path that must be trod,
it man would ever pass to God;
A port of calm, an abode of ease
From the rough rage of swelling seas.”
There is another mound in the tomb-yard; another pale
sleeper, with upturned brow ,nd hands meekly folded
over a pulseless bosom ; another loving heart stilled,
eyes closed forever on the beautiful earth and bright
sunshine ; another sweet voice hushed in the eternal
silence of the grave, never more to gladden the ears to
whom its lightest tones were music. There are flowers
of affection blighted by the chilling hand of the De
btroyer. a homestead with a desolate hearthstone, and
a strickeu man weeping ever blasted hopes; there arc
little ones whose childish hands will never clasp a
mother’s form, never know the holy influence of a
mother’s love, whose sad, early doom it is to be —mother-
less. Mine is a melancholy, and yet a sadly pleasant
task, lor of her, who so lately dwelt among us the fondly
loved of many hearts, now pierced with keen grief for
her untimely loss, may be recorded many good and gen
tie deeds, if she had faults, (and what mortal hath not,)
they were shaded by rare and beautiful virtues. It may
be said of her, not in words of empty praise, but true
sincerity, that she was a Christian, a meek and humble
follower of the “ lowly Nazarene,” delighting in acts of
unostentatious piety. Many a night hath she kept weary
vigils beside the couch of suffenng, wiping the death
dew from the pale brow of the dying, and soothing the
troubled spir:t with words of hope and peace. And she
is dead ; the good, the gentle, the loved and loving has
vanished forever from our sight; she “died as fading
roses die,” softly, gently—without a murmur or a strug
gle her gentle spirit took its flight from earth, to unfold
the deep mysteries of eternity. She is dead—and yet
why should we mourn that she sleeps the dreamless
slumber that is untouched by pain or sorrow ; that her
frail bark has *afely anchored in a “a j»ort of calm,” for
ever sheltered from “ the rough rage of swelling seas.”
Aye, rather should we rejoice, that “life’s fitful fever is
o’er” and the day of sweet rest at hand.” Ah no, it is
not for the dead that we should weep, but the bereaved
and desolate who have seen death’s midnight wavesfclose
over a cherished form ; for the widowed husband who
must ever miss from her accustomed place the gentle be
ing who made the sunshine of his home; and for the
motherless babes who have sustained a “ loss beyond re
pair. Then let our tears be for these, and commit her
who “hath gone” before,
Unto the faithful caring
Os Him who rules the skies.

As sweet as an angel it departed,
On angel's wings it took its flight,
While it left us broken-hearted,

Yet in Heaven we hope to meet her,
When from earth we’re called away,
And to know our sweet baby,
And embrace it in our arms.

i TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
UPSON SUPERIOR COURT, MAY TERM, 1857. )
Saturday Mornlng, May 9, 1357. y
gp Yesterday .Horning. Absalom 11. Chap
pell. Esq , rose and announced to the Court and Bar,
the melancholy intelligence of the death of Gen. JOHN
N. WILLIAMSON, of Nevrtou county, a member of the
Bar of the Flint Circuit, and moved the Court for the ap
pointment of a committee to prepare to report at the
opening of the Court this morning, a suitable tribute to
his memory. Whereupon the Court appointed Absalom
H. Chappell, John J. Floyd, and James H. Stark, Esqs.,
that committee.
This morning, at the opening of the Court, the Com
mittee appeared and presented to the Court and Bar the
following report:
The intelligence of the death of Gen. JOHN N. WIL
LIAMSON, has alflieted us with profound sorrow. The
event was as unexpected as it was mournful. It was
only on Monday la t, that the great Arbiter of life and
death saw tit to terminate his earthly career. It was
only some dozen days ago that the fatal disease under
which he so soon sunk into the grave, made its first and
apparently slight assault upon him. But his days were
numbered ; and it pleased the All-wise and all All-merci
ful One, whose ways are unsearchable by man, aud to
whot.e behests, even when most afflictive, man should
even bow in pious submission, to summon our beloved
jd lamented brother suddenly from the short-lived tur
moil of time to the repose of 6ternity.
Gen. WILLIAMSON was professionally coeval with
I. Flint Circuit. He commenced his career at the Bar
at the era of it£ first organization; and from that period
to his death, he continued to reside within the Circuit
and to be a member of its Bar : none now lives of whom
tiie same can be said. This circumstance alone, renders
his death a marked and memorable and touching event
in the history of the Circuit. He possessed a nature at
once amiable aud noble , and it wcu impossible t> know
him, even slightly, without feeling that he was worthy
of unbounded trust and confidence. To great mora’
worth, and ail the generous and upright traits of charac
ter, there was united in him a sound, strong, (uiscrimina
ting and enlightened m ; ud, fined to deal judiciously and
successfully, alike with private, professional, and polity
cal affairs: and the osult was that he prospered in all:
and the annals of our Legislature, as well as the records
ofour Courts, for a long series of years, bear testimony
of the trusts with which he wa3 honored, and to which he
ever proved himself fully equal. For severa l years to
wards the close of his life, he had ceased to make the
profession a main active pursuit. An abundant compe
tence enabled him, and more than thirty years of exer
tion entitled him, to retire from its severe toils —whilst
that love of rural life and agricultural occupation which
so often mark the purest and most manly minds, won
im from the town to the quietude of the country—fit
prelude and preparative to the deeper quietude of the
grave, to which he was soon to be summoned.
But the fraternal tic which bonnd him to his profes
sional brethren, lost none of its tenderness and vitality,
and they in their turn, never ceased; freshly to remem
ber, love and reared him, with a sentiment which deep
ened as they beheld the evening of life slowly drawing
its curtain around him.
Resolved, That in the death of Gen. WILLIAMSON,
we mourn the loss of a beloved elder brother, who was
whilst living, an honor to a noble profession, and that
his name aud character aud virtues are forever embalmed
in our affectionate remembrance.
Resolved , That we deeply sympathize with his be
reaved family and relatives” and tender to them our
heartfelt condolence.
Resolved, That in witness of our grief for his death,
and affection for his memory, we will wear the usual
badge of mourning for the space of thirty days.
Resolved , That his Honor Judge Cabaniss, be requested
to cause these our proceedings to be entered on the
minutes of this Court, and that the Clerk be directed to
transmit a copy of the same te the family of the deceased.
The report and resolutions having been unanimously
adopted, r: ere, on motion of Col. Peeples, ordered to be
published in the Southern Recorder and Augusta Chroni
cle & Sentinel.

LIVERPOOL, May 9.— Monetary— Wilmer Sc Smith’s
Liverpool Times of the 9th, received by the Niagara,
says : —The money market, notwithstanding a material
decrease iu the demand for accommodation, continues
stringent, and no alteration has taken place iu the mini
mum rate of the Bank of England, which continues at
6£ per cent. In some exceptional cases, the discount
houses of Lombard-streot grant accommodation on first
cla is short dated bills at rather easier rates. The en
gagements falling due on the 4th were unusually light,
and many persons oelieve that this circumstance would
iuduce the directors of the Bank to make a reduction yes
terday. A feeling of disappointment was consequently
felt upon the breaking up of the parlor without such an
announcement being made.
Hopes are high in commercial circles that a brighter
day is dawning on the money market, that the future will
become unquestionably brighter, and the rapid means of
communication with our Australian colonies, the increas
ing firmness of foreign exchanges, and the removal of
the prohibition to export gold fiom Russia, will cause a
large inllux of tho precious metal, and thus produce a
more easy feeling, it is also a satisfactory feature to
notice, in connection with the subject, the almost total
cessation in the demand for gold for export to the conti
nent, and under these circumstances the supplies from
the United States and from Australia, to hand this week, ,
will find their way to the Bank of England.

Prof. DeGrath, 39 South Bth street, Phila.:
1 have a remarkable cure. Deputy Sheriff Kerr, of
Pittsburg, had a very swollen and painful hand. 1 ap
plied the Oil personally, which • ave instant relief. He
has recommended the Oil to others afflicted with Rheu

Philadelphia, Sept. 1,1856.
Prof. DeGrath—Dear Sir: —l must inform you of the
great benefit a patient of mine has experienced from tin*
application of your Electric Oil. The case was that of a
girl of 8 years of age, who was terribly afflicted with
scrofula, and a discharge from the knee. The leg be
came so coutracted as to literally bury the heel in the |
hip. It had been in this state for about twelve months, !
and I could find nothing in the whole Materia Mcdica to
have any effect or give relief. 1 finally procured a bot
le of your Electric Oilaud gave It to the mother directing
her to apply it to the parts along the contracted sinews, .
which had the effect of making the leg nearly one-fourth
straight in about six hours. The application of the Oil ,
was continued lor about three weeks, using only six
bottles, and now the leg is nearly perfectly straight. .
