WASHINGTON, GA
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1840.
TO CORRESPONDENTS*
“ Madison, No. V.,” in our next.
The communication of “ A Voter,”
was received too late for insertion to-day.
We should be glad to hear from him again.
To what Post Office shall we direct, for the
subscribers he sends us ?
The Mails.
The continued derangement on some of
our mail routes, causes much vexation to
us and disappointment to some of our sub
scribers. Some weeks have elapsed since
the conductors of the mails commenced ar
ranging them anew, but the more they re
gulate the greater irregularity seems to
prevail, until no calculations can now be
made as to their arrival or departure. —
Our worthy Postmaster, to whom not the
slightest blame in this matter can be attri
buted, assures us that some change for
the better must take place in the course of
a few days; until then we are at the mer
cy of their Excellencies, the Mail Con
tractors and Stage Drivers.
Hurra for Old Willies.
Gloriously has she fulfilled our expecta
tions ! The Harrison party have carried
this county by a majority double that of
last year, all of our candidates for the Leg
islature are elected, and the lowest man
on the Congressional ticket is ahead of his
highest Van Buren opponent fifty-four votes.
Let the State go as it may, we have done
our duty here, and “ if Rome must fall we
are innocent.”

Well done Lincoln !
She too has nobly met the enemy. Ev

ity to the Harrison Congressional ticket
three times as great as that given to Dough

mistake in Taliaferro.
This is the county where our Van Buren
friends claimed a hundred gain. May
their gain, in all the State, be like that in
Taliaferro. Only a majority of 336 in the
Congressional ticket out of about 450 vo
ters—we can’t beat you Taliaferro!

The gain in Richmond may be estimated
at about 200. The majority for Dougher
ty last year was 77, but that election could
hardly be considered a fair test on account
of the sickness in Augusta, having driven
many people from the city.
The above are some of our strongest
counties, and nothing can be told of the po
litical complexion of the £>tate from their
vote. We look anxiously for returns from
those parts of the State where the three
great unchanged have been wandering a
bout “ seeking whom they may devour.”
Maine Election.
Letters from Augusta, Va.,of the 24th
and 25th ult., in the Boston Atlas, state,that
there will be 100 Whig members in the
house. Twenty vacancies are yet to be
filled. Locofocoism, says one of the let
ters, is completely prostrate in Maine, and
Ruel Williams looks as if he had lost eve
ry friend in the world. The writers ex
press great astonishment at the impudence
of the locofoco papers in claiming the elec
tion ofFairfield. The result is clearly as
certained. There is not a doubt that Kent
is elected by the people, and that the Sen
ate and house are Whig. Maine is good
for a Harrison majority at least two thou
sand in November. Ex. Paper.
Mr. Forsyth.
This gentleman, instead of writing elec
tioneering letters to defend Mr. Van Buren
and abuse Gen. Harrison, can better em
ploy his time in exculpating himself, from
some charges deeply impugning his char
acter, as an upright and honest public of
ficer.
The Baltimore Pilot accuses him of hav
ing taken advantage of his high official sta
tion to make some large and rather discre
ditable speculations in Indian lands, in
conjunction with a company in Columbus,
Ga., at the head of which is Mr. Iverson,
the honorable Secretary’s son-in-law.—
Gen. Green, the Editor of the Pilot, made
application to the Secretaries of the War
and Treasury Departments for copies of
the documents relating to these specula
tions, but those officers, knowing that the
exposure of the papers would prejudice the
interests of the administration, in the pre
sent critical contest, refused to furnish the
copies required. Thus it seems that their
own records are to be closed against the
people, lest the misdeeds of faithless public
servants should be exposed.
If no accidental fire happens among the
public buildings at Washington, we shall
expect soon some startling developements
of the secret corruption existing in all the
Departments of the Government. We arc
fully convinced that the half has not been
told. Notwithstanding the efforts of the of
fice-holders to conceal it, sufficient has
been discovered to warrant the belief that
an immense accumulation of iniquity is
yet to be exposed.
Better Times.
“Business is growing brisker, money is
becoming plenty, prosperity is returning,
all owing to the Sub-Treasury,” say the
Locofoco papers. We are as much rejoic
ed as they are to see indications of return
ing prosperity, but are inclined to think
that the country is recovering from its de
pressions in spite of the Sub-Treasury, ra
ther than on account of any beneficial ef
fect it exerts. That great scheme has been
in operation for the last three or four years,
during which time, the most unexampled
commercial distress has prevailed; the to
ry prints denied that the measures of the
government produced it, but ascribed it to
the United States Bank, long ago dead and
buried.—Now, when aprospect of a change
of men and a consequent change of meas
ures gives life and activity to the business
of the country, they are quite ready to as
cribe all the merit to their favorite scheme.
To the tinkering of the government with
the currency, may truly be imputed the
evils of the last five years. All that the
commercial class in any country, wants of
its government, is to be let alone. All ex
perience shows that the hand of power even
when stretched forth to foster, too frequent
ly exerts a blighting influence over the
mercantile interest of a country—so it has
been with us—after great preparations and
parade, we were told by the wise political
Espys to expect a “golden shower” which
would bring happiness and prosperity on
the land, we waited the event with hope,
but instead of the promised “golden show
er,” down came a snow storm of shinplas
ters in which we have been smothered ev
er since.
It is the of being free from the
vexations consequent on the experiments of
the government that induces a revival of
business. The currency is still as bad as
it can be. None of the promised effects of
the Sub-Treasury are visible (except the
destruction of credit) gold is no plentier
than formerly, we have not heard that the
Mississippi river has flowed up stream, as
the Globe said it would when specie be
came the only currency, nor have we seen
any of those “long silk purses of fine open
net work” full of gold which the same
print promised us! When these circum
stances took place, prosperity was to be
restored to the country. They have not
happened and prosperity is returning with
out them.
The Augutsta Mirror.
The enterprising proprietor of this peri
odical has resumed its publication after an
interval of suspension. We are sorry to
learn that it is not so well patronized as it
should be. Will the people of this State
see this undertaking fail for want of sup.
port ? Considerations of patriotism ought
to influence them to sustain it. The South
has too long been held in! literary depend
ence upon the North; will that depend
ence never cease ? Abundance of literary
talent exist among us, and we are sure
that by a little exertion on the part of wri
ters and a more liber laencoufagement from
the public, the Mirror might be made such
a publication as would do honor to Geor
gia.
DEATH NOT A PAINFUL PROCESS.
It has been observed, that many commit
suicide from a notion that death from natu
ral causes is attended with considerable ag
ony. This is the generally received no
tion, hut is an erroneous one. Those who
have often witnessed the act of dying allow
that it is not a painful process. In some
delicate and irritable persons, a kind of
struggle is indeed sometimes excited when
respiration becomes difficult; but more fre
quently the dying obviously suffer nothing
and express no uneasiness. In those who
die of chronic diseases the gradation is slow
and distinct. Consumptive patients are
sometimes in a dying state for several days;
they appear at times to suffer little, hut to
languish for complete dissolution ; nay,
we have known them to express great un
easiness when they have been recalled from
the commencement of insensibility by the
cries of their friends, or the efforts of the at
tendant to alleviate pain. In observing
persons in this situation, we have always
been impressed with the idea, that the ap
proach of natural death produces a sensa
tion similar to that of falling asleep. The
disturbance of respiration is the only ap
parent source of uneasiness to the dying ;
and sensibility seems to be impaired just
in proportion to the decrease of that func
tion. Besides, both the impressions of
present objects, and those recalled by me
mory, are influenced by the extreme debi
lity of the patient, whose wish is for abso
lute rest. We could never see the close of
life under these circumstances, without re
collecting those beautiful lines of Spencer:
“ Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas,
Ease after war, death after life, doth greatly
please.”
—The Anatomy of Suicide.
THE EMPERORS CHARLEMAGNE
AND NAPOLEON.
Upon opening the tomb of Charlemagne,
at Aix-la-Chapelle, his skeleton was enve
loped in a Roman dress, and the double
crown of France and Germany surrounded
his fleshless brow ; by his side, near his pil
grim’s scrip, lay Joyeuse, that good sword,
with which, says the Monk Saint Denis, he
cut in twain a completely armed cavalier.
His feet reposed upon the massive gold
buckler, which was given him by Pope
Leo ; and from his neck was suspended the
famous Talisman which rendered him vic
torious in battle. It was a relique of the
true cross, presented by the Empress Irene,
and was contained in an emerald attached
to a heavy gold chain, which the good peo
ple presented to Napoleon when he entered
their city. In 1811, he threw it around the
neck of Queen Hortense, acknowledging to
her, that he wore it upon his breast at the
battles of Austerlitz and Wagram, just as
Charlemagne had done 900 years before.
Since then the precious talisman and chain
has never quitted the possession of the
Duchess of St. Leu, who regards it with the
confidence reposed in it by its imperial
donor.
ROGER SHERMAN.
It was remarked of this distinguished
man, by Mr. Jefferson, that he never said
a foolish thing in his life. Fisher Ames
was accustomed to express his opinion of
him, by saying that if he happened to be
out of his seat when a subject was discuss
ed, and came in when the question was a
bout to be taken, he felt safe in voting as
Mr. Sherman did—for he always voted
right. Mr. Macon used to say, that Roger
Sherman had more common sense than any
man he ever knew. This great and good
man was self-taught. His first occupation
in life was that of a shoemaker. While
carrying on his trade, he used at his leis
ure hours to read useful books, till he be
came a distinguished lawyer and an emi
nent judge. Here is an example worthy of
the notice and imitation of youth in all sta
tions of society.
STARTING CHILDREN IN THE
WORLD.
Many an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly all his life, for the purpose
of leaving enough to give his children a
stajt in the world, as it is called. Setting
a young man afloat with money left him by
his relatives, is like tying bladders under
the arm of one who cannot swim: ten chan
ces to one he will lose his bladders and go
to the bottom. Teach him to swim and he
will never need the bladders. Give your
children a sound education, and you have
done enough for him. See 100 that his mo
rals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservient to the laws
which govern men, and you have given
him what will be of more value than the
wealth of the Indies. You have given him
a start which no misfortune can deprive
him of. The earlier you teach him to de
pend upon his own resources, the better.

INGENIOUS DEVICE.
Report saith the industrious ladies of the
eastern shore of Maryland, when they are
obliged to go out to work in the cornfields
and to leave their young children unattend
ed at home, make use of the following ad
mirable contrivance to supply the young
with nourishment, and, at the same time
to prevent serious accidents. First, they
place the child on its back in the centre of
the floor, then they take a twine string and
tie a piece of fat bacon to one end of it, and
the other end they fasten to the infant’s
great toe. The baby, having the bacon
placed in its mouth, begins to suck very
heartily ; and if, during the mother’s ab
sence, it happens to draw the meat into its
throat, it naturally gives a kick ; the mo
tion of the feet jerks the twine, and the
lump of fat is pulled out in time to prevent
suffocation. By this means the services of
a child’s nurse are dispensed with, and the
mammas can leave home for hours, with
out feeling any apprehensions for the little
cherub’d safety.

DIED,
In Gainsville, Hall county, Ga., on the 24th
ultimo, Mrs. SARAH JOYNER POPE, wife of
Alexander Pope, Esq, and daughter of Mr.
Samuel Barnett, of tins place, aged twenty-nme
years.
She wai , for about twelve years, a most exem
, plary member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church; and here, as in her family and the soci
ety in which she moved, her loss will long be
felt and deplored. Her illness, which was lin
gering, abounded in the most full ;n l satisfacto
ry evidence that, in tiio Christian, “tribulation
worketh patience, and patience experience, and
experience hope, and hope maketh not ashamed,
because the love of God is shed abroad in the
heart.” May her happy and triumphant death
never be lost sight of by her family & her friends;
and may they also live that when they shall be
called to leave all below, and enter on the reali
ties of ail untried being, they may all be enabled
by faith to realize, with the deceased, that “to
live is Christ, but to die is gain.” P.
ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.
We have been told, that while one of the
Hudson River steamboats was on her pas
sage up or down a few days since, a locofo
co aboard proposed to the Captain to*call the
passengers together and take the vote on the
Presidency. The Captain consented, and
requested all who were in favor of Harri
son to take one side of the boat, and those
in favor of Van Buren to take the other side,
and he would count them. When behold
the Van Buren man stood alone on his side
the boat, all the other passengers taking the
Harrison side, and came near capsizing the
boat, the solitary loco clinging to the first
thing he could catch to prevent himself from
sliding to the Harrison side before he was
counted.— Troy Whig.
AN OFFICE SEEKER.
Tlie following dialogue is said to have
occurred in Washington City, on the elec
tion of General Jackson:
“ Gineral, I want an embassy.”
“ Can’t have it, sir.”
“ Gineral, I wan’t to he postmaster.”
“ Can’t have it, sir. You can’t read or
write, sir.”
“ Then, General, for God’s sake, give
me a pair of breeches.”
TO MANAGE A REARING HORSE.
In preference to the dangerous experi
ment of pulling a rearing horse backward,
I recommend the adoption of the following
method ;—Whenever you perceive the hor
se’s inclination to rear, separate your reins
and prepare for him ; the instant he is a
bout to rise slacken one hand and bend or
twist his head with the other, keeping your
hands low. The bending compels him to
move a hind leg, and of necessity brings his
forefeet down. Instantly twist him com
pletely around two or three times which
will confuse him very much, and complete
ly throw him off his guard, The moment
you have finished twisting him round, place
his head in the direction you wish him to
proceed, apply the spur sharply, and he
will not fail to go forward. If the situation
be convenient press him into a gallop, and
apply the spur or whip two or three times
severely. The horse perhaps will not he
quite satisfied with the first defeat, but may
be disposed to try again for the mastery.—
Should this be the case, you have only to
twist, &c. as before, and you will find in
the second struggle he will be more easily
subdued than on the first occasion—in fact,
you will perceive him quailed under the
operation. It rarely happens that a rearing
horse, after having been treated in the way
described will resort to his tricks a third
time. But on going into other hands,
and having another rider, he will he very
likely to have recourse to rearing Amer
ican Farmer.
RETORT COURTEOUS.
The Louisville Journal says “ Dr.
Duncan, in a late speech at Cleves, shook
his bowie knife at certain Whigs who were
present. A Whig, by way of retort, shook
a whiskey-bottle at him ; a weapon that has
often laid the Doctor low.
WHAT'NEXT.
There is a petition in circulation to in
corporate a hand of music! We do not
know that banking privileges are asked
for, hut certain it is, they wish to issue
notes.
RECEIPT FOR CURING SCRATCH
ES ON HORSES.
Cleanse the parts affected with soap and
warm water, wipe them dry, and then ap
ply with a painter’s brush, or any other
suitable instrument, white lead ground in
oil, as thickly as can be smoothly and even
ly laid on ; give the animal room to exer
cise moderately, keep it dry, and in most
cases the first application w ill affect n cure.
If it should be necessary to make the se
cond application, (which should not be
sooner than 6 or 8 days) remove the old
lead by washing, &c., as at first, and ap
ply it as before. I have never known the
second application to fail of malting a per
fect cure.
Ninety-six thousand muskets have been
manufactured at Springfield within the past j
four years, and are stored there now.
The Governor of Florida has issued a
proclamation, in which a reward of 6200
is offered for the apprehension and delivery
into safe custody, of each and every white
or black person, or mulatto, who shall be
found aiding, abetting, or in any manner
assisting the Indians in their hostile move
