THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1843. | FOR PEKSIDI ‘NT. miasi&ir _ lion. Gyorge \V. Crawford took liis seat in Congress on the Ist inst. Edward A. Hannegun, a Van Bu ren Democrat, has been elected li. S. Sen ator by the Legislature of Indiana. Me was elected by Whig votes. Postage. A proposition to reduce the price of post age, lias been made in Congress, Which will probably he favorably recei\ed by the country. Postage is a tax upon the peo ple, which though paid with tho greatest willingness and with less complaint than any other, is notwithstanding, very burden some. Anew rate of postage is now pro posed and will probably be carried into ef fect, somewhat reducing the former rates; on all single letters sent by mail any dis tance not over thirty miles, the postage is j to be 5 cents ; over 30 to 100 miles 10 ets.; over 100 to 220 miles 13 cents ; over 220 to 400 miles 20 cents, and over 400 miles 25 conts. It would have been better, perhaps, if the postage for short distances had been reduc ed still more ; but we view the proposed law only as an introduction to farther re forms in the post-office department, where they seem to be greatly needed. This law is a good one in another res pect, as the rates are in Federal money, our own currency. The absurd mode of charging postage in Spanish currency, at 12 J and 18$ cents, when no coins of that denomination, except foreign coins, are to be found among us, is done away. CKIT It is not often that the Ladies can . glean a compliment to their sex out of the political field, of course they ought to be more valued from their scarcity. We have ourselves experienced that women are far superior in moral honesty to men, fbr we have found that almost without ex ception, the female subscribers to our pa per pay up more promptly and honorably than those of the masculine gender.— Though some people who are no judges of sucli matters, tell us we are infected with old bachelor notions, yet we think that tiie verse of Scripture which says that “the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked,” don't apply to \vornen. The New-York Evening Post has the following, and the ladies ought to con sider it high praise in these times, when a paper of the high character of the Post takes upon itself to affirm that generally they are not addicted to theft: Female Defaulter has been the practice in the Post-Office Department, to appoint the wives of deceased postmasters as their successors, in those cases in which it was agreeable to the people. This practice *sasbeen in operation a great many years/, the number of females wht> have thus held office is quite large. During all this time, there has not occurred a single in stance ofdefulaation among them. Though it is no compliment to a person to be faith ful and honest, for this is a matter of duly, yot it is especially honorable to be so amid these times and temptations in which many fall astray.” Col. David J. Bailey, appointed some tirne ago by the Governor as the Director of the Central Bank, agreeably to the law of the late Legislature, has, we utrderstand, accepted the appointment, and is now en gaged in the performance of its duties. Mi Hedge vi/fc Recorder. Lmd: out Bachelor* ! —The Legislature of Maryland proposes to raise ways ami means, by taxing all bachelors over 35. Another project is to levy an annual tax of 50 dollars, only on such as have means of supporting a wife. Another Sign—No New Moon in Febru ary ! —The Millerites recently discovered the planet Venus in the clay time ; no un common occurrence—she being now in her perigee, and the atmosphere having been, most of the time lately, remarkably clear. Another phenomenon equally portentous, is announced in the Boston Transcript, as follows: “ Perhaps many of our readers are nota ware of the singular astronomical fact, that there will be no new moon in the month of February next,’ and that there: will be two new moons in the mouth following. It will be new moon on the 3l>th Jan., again on the Ist of March, and also on the 30th March.” Resisting Civil Process. —There are ma ny modes of bamboozling a bailiff, but Mrs. Pamelia May, who keeps a boarding-house in Boston, seems to have hit upon one of the most effectual that we have heard of. She kept off a sheriff w ho had called at her house to serve a writ of attachment, by, del- ! uging him with a shower of soap suds —hot soap suds too, as we find the matter stated ! in the newspapers. This kind of legal de fence. is not, however, considered ennstitu- I tional in Boston, and the Police Court of that city mulcted Mrs. May in the sum of five dollars, for the offence. John A. Bolles, the now Loco Foco Sec retary of State of Massachusetts, is a rank Abolitionist, an articleofinlclligence iiich we furnish expressly for the benefit of tie liditor of tlie Richmond ISnqturrr—-inert iy ! to assist with topics of exultation over the ! late “democratic victory” in the Bay State, i lie will find other subjects of the character j in Mr. Morton’s inaugural message, which precious Stale paper we commend to Mr. Ritchie’s “careful and prayerful” peru sal. Nothing could be more democratic. N. Y. Com. Adv. The Jews of New York. —The Jews in New York are said to be ten thousand in number. They have six synagogues.— Their Benevolent Society has, in the last year, collected above 5,000 and expended about 4,000 dollars. The legal liabilims they still lie under in some countries of Eu rope, and tlie strong prejudices they there have to encounter, are, it is said, driving many persons of this faith to seek refuge in the United States. “ The Magician'’ at his Old Tricks —The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, slates that in the re cent election of a Senator in North Caroli na, Mr. Van Bun n wore two faces. Bedford Brown, who was notoriously the favorite of tlie Van Buren Loco focos, it is | said, showed sundry letters from M. V. B. in which he expressed his utter want of confidence in Judge Saunders and his earn est hope that Brown would be elected.— Judge Saunders hearing of this, produced letters from Mr. V. B. to him, in which, the “ sweet little fellow” soft-soaped him in tlie | most approved style, expressed the most unbounded confidence in his democracy, and the most earnest desire for his success.— Tli is reminds us of the six gentlemen who courted a lady, and who on comparing notes, found that she was engaged to all six. The Bankrupt Law. —lt’s a rather singu lar fact that in those sections of the coun try, generally speaking, where the most fre quent use has been made of the Bankrupt law, the most active efforts have been made to procure its repeal. From a table in the Philadelphia United States Gazette, it ap pears that, in the Slate of Maine, one in ev ery 174 of the white inhabitants has availed himself of the law—although Gov. Fair field asserted in his late message, that the repeal of the Act wouid, in that State, “be regarded with general, not to say universal approbation.’ In Vermont is the next lar gest proportion, viz: one in 189. The Le gislature of that state lias passed resolu tions calling for the repeal, and Mr. Ever ett, one of the representatives of Vermont, was the first to move it in the House. Con necticut has one petitioner to 221 of her white population ; Massachusetts one to 301 ; Kentucky one to 328; South Alaba ma one to 345; N. York one to 369; Penn sylvania one to 583; Maryland one to 839; and South Carolina one to 1245. The pro portion in the United States, so far as heard from, is one to 375. The District of Co lumbia lias the largest proportion of petition ers, being one to 165.— Baltimore American 21 st inst. A fire caused by water !—We learn from the Portsmouth Journal, that on the 30th ultimo, a grist mill in Newcastle, N. H., was destroyed by fire. In the storm of that day, says the Journal, the easterly wind caused the tide to rise to an unusual height, and, surrounding the mill, cut off all com munication with the land. The water at. 11 o’clock, A M coming in contact with a barrel of lime set it on fire, and soon the whole building bo the water’s edge was in flames The Cabinet. —The Philadelphia Times | has a letter from Washington, stating that “soon after the 4th of March, Mr. Webster will resign, and he sent to England. Mr. Kverult, our present minister there, will take the place now vacant in France. Mr. Forward will retire, and \vill receive a Judgeship from tho hands of the dominant party in Pennsylvania. The rest of the Cabinet will remain, I think, in their pre sent places. Gen. Cass will receive the appointment of Secretary of State, arid Mr. Cushing will preside over tho Treasury Department. The Missouri House of Representatives was so bent on celebrating the battle of New Orleans at tho preciso punctual tern poris that it disagreed with tho Senate on the proposition to postpone the fete to Mon day, (the Bth of January falling on Sunday) and accordingly desecrated the Sabbath by firing in front of the capit'ol, sung national songs, paraded through the streets with martial music, illuminated at night, &c. THE CENTRAL BANK. The Federal Union says with some ap- , pearance of boast, that the Central Bank is receiving its notes at the rate of $20,000 per week. No wonder, when men can pay to the State a debt of Stilt) with SSO. The dear people are chiselled out of the -.differ ence by tlie most discreet management of the leaders of the Locofoco party at Mil ledgeville. The States’ money was lent at par and used by the borrowers at par. It is purchased up at least 40 percent below par, and the borrowers pocket the differ, cnee. Truly Dr. Fort and his obedient ma jority have done wonders. Look at tlie sit uation of those who depend upon the State’s currency for their support. Mis honor, Judge Henry, filling one of the highest ju dicial, stations in the State, working inde fatigably in the faithful discharge of his la borious and important duties, finds his sal ary reduced from SI,BOO per annum, to a bout SI,OOO of specie paying notes, and from this sum lie has to pay expenses while travelling on his circuit. Many of our outer men clerks in Counting-Houses, get better salaries. If this is not an age of hunibnggery we never expect to see one that is. Savannah Republican. From the New York Express. LOW BRICES—LOW WAGES—EVE RY THING DOWN. We have nearly reached in these United States (not quite though) the hard money s;. cie currency times we used to hear so much of, alien Harrison on one side, and Van Buren on tit other were candidates for the Presidency There is about a : much specie in the country now as there is bank pap- r. Gold is as plenty as it ever will be in any country where gold or silver alone is to constitute the emrency. We are nearly in the condition of the hard money countries, or, if not quite there, like ly soon to be there. T!laborer now is paid nearly as low as in France or Germa ny. and finds it:almost as difficult to obtain work ; and, as he fully approximates the hard money system, he will be quite as well off'as the laborer in Lombardy, or Naples, or Turkey, where there is an exclusive hard money currency. We, ofthe United States, not content with the sound specie and paper currency we had in 1828, when Gen Jackson was elec ted to the Presidency, have been trying now for some time to make about 66 or $80,600,000 of specie represent all the property, all the labor, and all the energy and capacity of seventeen millions of peo ple. Now, dividing these eighty millions of dollars amoug these seventeen millions, it gives us not five dollars each to repre sent all we have, or all we earn—but when we remember that the inillionaries, such as John Jacob Astor, have a good part of these eighty millions, it leaves the great masses of society nothing at all to represent all the industry or capacity they have. Thus, when gold alone is money, and money is made scarce, and the inillionaries monopo lize even that scarcity, it is not at all to be wondered at that real estate is worth but lit tle in money, the produce of farms less, and labor least of all. Hence low prices, low wages, and every thing down. We are thus reaping the harvest sown of a hard money currency. The fruits of tlie “experiment” of 1830—’32—’34 are yet upon us. We are enjoying a few of the comforts and luxuries ofa hard money gov rnmenf. We are about as well off as the people of France, where there is one bank with a very restricted currency, and not quite so bad off as Naples, or Sicily, or. Turkey, where there is no credit, but a pure hard money Government. With noth ing but hard money, hard money prices must continue. If gold is the only god that can effect the great interchanges between man and man, we must live as people do where that kind ofa god is exclusively a dored. It was orice an idea that this coun try was well enough off, but this is obsolute, and now we are learning European fash ions. A Bomb Shell of 1775 Found. —The Portland Argus says : “ As the two sons of Messrs. Daniel Woodman & Daniel Gould were digging for clams, on Monday, in tlie Back Cove, near the channel, they discov ered the rim of what they thought was a large iron jug. After digging round and tugging at it for some tirne, they were obli ged to get some tackle before it could be taken from its bed. It proved to be a bomb shell, with the powder yet in it, which was thrown from Mowatt’s fleet, on the memora ble 15th of October—67 years ago—the day when this town was burned by the British. It measures 38 inches in circum ference, and weighs 150 pounds. Captain Lemuel Moody, and Wm. Tukey, well re collect seeing it pass over the town, and sink into the waters of the Cove. It was the only one that passed over during the day. The others all fell among the devo ted houses and exploded. It seems as if there could be no doubt of the identity of this curiosity.” From the Baltimore. Patriot. A DUEL PREVENTED. Wo have seen, with regret, for a long time, a violent and increasing personal I quarrel between the editors ofthe Richmond I Whig and Enquirer. Tho contest lias re- ; eently assumed a character which called for its adjustment in some way or other, and we were not therefore surprised to hear tlmt a duel had been arranged between Mr. J. H. Pleasant, the editor of the Whig And Mr. 1 W. F. Ritchie, the son of the editor of the , Enquirer. Mr. Ritchie, it is said was the , challenger, and the terms were twenty-five j paces ; fowling pieces loaded with twelve j buckshot each ; the guns to belaid at the ! feet of tlie combatants, and at the word : “fire,” each was to seize his gun and fire within the time “three.” Saturday morn ing was the time fixed. ‘Pile proper interference of friends on Fri- ; day night prevented the hostile meeting, , and the Richmond papers of yesterday con tain the following card : , The undersigned have seen with deep re gret the editorial controversy between i Thomas Ritchie and J. 11. Pleasants, ] Esq’rs. and with still more pain have learn- , cd,(uot from the principals or their se conds) that a personal conflict between W. F. Ritchie, Esq. and Mr. Pleasants is like ly to grow out of it—and believing that it may he avoided, and the controversy heal ed without comproiniting the honor of ei ther gentlemen, we come forward, volunta rily, and tender our mediation between them. The article of Mr. Pleasants of the j 17th day January, 1843, headed “The En quirer,” was called forth by that of Mr. | Ritchie of the 14th day of tho same month, ‘ and we are satisfied was tlie result of a mis- ! conception by Mi. P. of die latter article, j i That article, we are satisfied, was not in- < tended in any manner to reflect upon the i personal courage of Mr. Pleasants, or to in vade iiis private character, but had refer- t ence to the editorial ‘bout’ between those | gentlemen, and to the editorial and politi- I cal course of Mr. P.; and so believing, we regard the article of Mr. Pleasants as tin i justified, though we believe that the im- i plied challenge to the family of Mr. Ritch- i io, proceeded from a generous motive, viz: j to announce the personal liability of Pleas- < ants if called on ; without hostility to the members of the family embraced in it. If our views be correct, and are so admitted ! by Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Pleasants so.de- t claring, Pleasants shall retract his article ‘ ofthe 17tl of January, and that Mr. W. F. Ritchie withdraw his challenge which has been accepted bv Mr. Pleasants, and those gentlemen restored to their former tela tions. J. W. PEGRAM, January 23, 1843. JAMES LIONS. We acknowledge the correctness of the above views, and accepting the proffered mediation, respectively accede to the pto- 1 posals made. THOMAS RITCHIE, JOHN H. PLEASANTS, WM. F. RITCHIE, General Pegram was authorized by Mr. W. F. Ritchies second, in case Mr. Pleas ants’ second acceded to the above settle- ‘ ment, to withdraw Mr. W. F. Ritchie’s challenge. MURDER. : We 1 earn from an undoubted authority, that Mr. Lea, a hog-drover from Kentucky, was shockingly murdered on his return home, a few days ago, in the mountain re .gion of Virginia, by two men who travelled 1 , with him the principal part of the day on j which he was murdered. It seems that he was shot by a pistol in the back part of bis , bead, while passing through a lonesome re- , gion of country ; he fell from his horse in stantly gasping for breath. The robbers , thereupon rifl'-d him ofhis pocket-book, and were in die act of riding off when they were , • uddenly brought to a stand by the appear ance of two mountaineers, who happened to • be close by, hunting game in the woods.— It appearsthat the two hunters had not sep erated long before they heard the report of the pistol, and each taking it for granted , that the other had shot at something, they both ran to see what had been shot; both fortunately bounded into tlie road at the same time, one a little above and the other a little below the robbers. Seeing the sight described,they quickly sprang the triggers of their rifles, and bid the murder ers stand or die. On approaching Lea, they found him in tlie last agonies of death; but he was able to tell who shot him, and who robbed him; be also told the hunters that the robbers had missed his money, which was concealed in his coat collar; and a few moments after this he expired. The hunters then marched the robbers to the village jail. The name of the county and village is not recollected. Milton Chronicle. j The Late Earthquake. —We find the fol lowing singular circumstance stated in the St. Louis New Era: On Saturday, we received a note from a gentleman in the country, dated that day in which he says : The Earthquake on tlie evening of the 4th inst. was severely felt in this part of our county, and attending it is one of tlie most interesting phenomena of nature. — Near my dwelling has been a pond which, from former appearances, was supplied by subterranean springs. On the morning of the sth, I discovered it empty, and in its place a large sink hole, similar to those near your city. During the day, my fami ly noticed it belching forth steam at inter vals of three or Tour hours. On yesterday I remained at home to watch and satisfy myself. You are aware of its being a rainy day. After the small streams bad formed by the falling of the rain, it commenced smoking steam of a warm nature, and at times we heard a rumbling, hissing sound, similar to that vve beard on the evening of the 4th inst. On this morning snow covers all my grounds, except the centre of this gulf, which has thawed, and all the snow contiguous is fast thawing. METHODISM. Wo learn from the Zion’s 1 Jeraltl, that j the members ofthe Methodist Chur “J> in the city ot Boston, have more than quadruple! in the last fifteen years ; more than trebled within the last ten years; and more than | doubled within tlie last five years. The Editor ofthe Herald suys: “ It would not he altogether irrelevant to glance here at the progress of our cause throughout New England, but we can only j give a few statistics. Including the por tions of Now England comprehended in the New.York and Troy Conference, we have now 90,000 members and 600 preachers. 1 lie average annual increase for 50 years lias been 1740 members, and 13 preachers. For tlie last five years (and exclusive of New.York and Troy conferences,) it has been more than 3100. There is one Meth odist to every twenty-five of the population j in New England. Since 1790, the Mellio- ‘ dist population has doubled every twelve | years, and their church is now second in I number, and first in progress in New Eng- j land, according to an accurate comparison ! of statistics.” COTTON INSTEAD OF LINEN. It is astonishing to what an extent the use of cotton fabrics has succeeded that of linen. We see it stated in an English pa per, the Stamford Mercury, that twenty j years ago the consumption of linen cloth for j shirting and sheeting, was generally esti- j mated to be double the quantity of linen to that of calico. Ten years ago the quantity ; used for tho same purposes of each materi- i al was aboui equal. Last week, a shop keeper near Melton Mowbray, took an ae- j count lor three days (it being Martinmas) | ofthe number of yards sold of linen and of | calico; the result proved that there was i fourteen times the quantity of calico sold to ! that of linen. In manufacturing towns probably the difference would be greater. In woolen goods tho reverse is taking place. During the high price of woo! many arti cles were substituted, some wholly, and others partly by the admixture of cotton ; now, that wool is considerably reduced in price, the substitution of cotton is on the decrease. Boston Journal. An important fact for Mesmerism .—We I learn that a young woman was thrown into j the mesmeric state, at the City Hall in Low- i ell, on Thursday evening last, by Dr. W. ; P. Shattuck, and submitted to the operation j of extracting a tumor on the shoulder, j without manifesting the slightest sensation or suffering the slightest pain. An itu-i • sion around the tumor, was made to the depth of nearly two inches, and tlie opera tion was one, which, under ordinary cir cumstances, would have caused acute pain, fainting, &c. On being brought back to the natural slate, the lady was entirely free from pain, and was not aware that any op eration had been performed. The tumor has been preserved in spirits, and was shown to us yesterday. This experiment was performed under the direct personal examination of Drs. Holbrook, Pillsbury, and Horn, of Lowell, and in the presence ofa large and respectable audience. A full and scientific report of the case will soon be published. Comment is unneces sary. Let this fact speak for itself. Boston Post. The Texan Congress is so overrun with petitions for divorce, that a bill has been introduced, making every man his own un- j tnarrier, and extending the same inestima ble prerogative to every married woman. It provides that all married persons who are dissatisfied with their partners may be absolved from their own vows by publish ing their intention to that effect for thirty days. This is emphatically carrying eve ry man’s anti-matrimonial mill home to his own door, and simplifying tlie domestic ar rangements in a way that must bring relief to the labors of legislators and courts of justice altogether refreshing. We should think, however, that it would be wise to ! carry the “ voluntary principle” Into each end of the connubial contract, and allow every body to marry without the interven tion of clergyman or magistrate “by pub lishing their intention to that off et fin thir. ty days. The truth is “tin? u .nli - ; >\ erned too much.” — Courier J,- Enquirer. The Baltimore Clipper of the 1 Ith ii i. says a letter carrier lately . mplm ed City Post Office, in Washington. ! > •’ has absented himself from that place, ha ving been detected in embezzling funds to an amount variously estimated at from five to fifteen thousand dollars. Tlie money, it appears, was abstracted at sundry times from the drawers of the several carriers in the office, and from letters containing re mittances, which it was his duty to have delivered. The name ofthe individual is not mentioned ; and no notice of the affair has yet appeared in any ofthe Washington papers. Advertising. —The New Orleans Picay une says: “If there is any one matter more than another that should convince a man he is not fit lor business, it is the possibility of his carelessness in neglecting to advertise. When a man can forget advertising, let him shut up shop. Men of all trades and professions should take advantage of adver tisements to make their merits, or tlie mer its of their wares, known to the public.— j How much benefit might accrue to them selves and publishersgenerally. Lawyers j authors, and artists, are in this particular, j too modest. Our worthy disciples of Ga. j len make no bones of tel ling the world the; virtues of their medicines.—-Day & Martin j might have lived and died in penury un known, had they not sung, themselves, the praises of their “unequalled blacking.” Solemn Fact. —One ofthe New York pa pers says:—“Some ofthe most eminent as tronomers declare, that, for the last six months, the earth has been rapidly ap proaching the sun ; and is now nearly.two millions of miles nearer the “orb of fide” than it was in June last.” This is a fact— which occurs every winter.
