0{ Harrison, , Tyler and Reform! NEWS AND GAZETTE. PRINCIPLES and MEN. 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.” FOR LEGISLATURE. HARRISON TICKET. Senator —-Wm. Q. Anderson 447 Representatives —R. A. Toombs 461 J.

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! Senator. Singleton Harris.

Crawford 832 Jenkins 831 Rhodes 831 Glasscock 514 Haynie 469 Parish 469 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. ELECTION RETURNS. BALDWIN COUNTY. SENATE. Peter J.

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. A NEW COTILLION.

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 ments.
