K?” We mentioned last week that many
counterfeit coins were in circulation.—
Since then,we have seen several, evidently
from the same mint. We have no doubt
that somebody is extensively engaged in
putting them in circulation throughout this
part of the country. The public should be
on their guard and examine attentively all
coin received, especially from transient per
sons, as some of the counterfeits are well
executed, and can with difficulty be distin
guished from the genuine article.
£5” The Superior Court, Judge Andrews
presiding, has been in session here since
Monday.
In the case of Mills vs. Executors of
Mercer, it was decided that an Estate in
reinaiwder of personalty is not subject to
levy and sale by a Sheriff for the debt of
the remainder-man during the continuance
of the particular Estate.
We shall publish the Presentments, with
the Charge of Judge Andrews to the Grand
Jury, next week.
Somebody has told Senator Cuthbert
that Congress is in session, and he has gone
on to get his pay.
(EJ” How it ever entered into the heads
of our wise Congressmen that the Bankrupt
Law was odious t-o the people, passes our
comprehension. That opinion could not
have been derived from the Whig press,
for that has been almost unanimous in its
favor ; nor from the character of the peti
tions presented to Congress, for they show a
large majority against a repeal of the law.
During the last and present sessions of the
Senate, there have been petitioners
For a repeal of the Act, 5,240
Against such repeal, 43,004
For a modification, 1,753

£5” The Legislature of Alabama have
again refused to receive that State’s share
of the proceeds of the Public Lands. The
House of Representatives rejected the reso
lutions requiring the Governor to accept
Alabama’s quota, by a strict party vote, on
the ground that the acceptance would be a
stain on the “ virgin honor” of the State.
Alabama owes some ten millions of dollars
which she cannot or will not pay ; we
wonder if her Legislators consider that no
dishonor upon the virgin State ? Perhaps
however, their Governor may do as ours
did, like a proud beggar, swear vehement
ly, so that the whole world can hear him,
that he won’t have it, but whisper slyly to
Uncle Sam, “Drop it in my hat.”

A meeting of the Whig members of the
Indiana Legislature was held on the 26th
ult. and resolutions were adopted disclaim
ing all personal and political connection
with Daniel Kelso, the pretended Whig by
whose treachery a Loco-foco U. S. Senator
was elected. The Indianapolis Journal
says of this Mr. Kelso :
“Not a Whig member of either branch
of the General Assembly holds intercourse
with him in word or look. The seat which
he occupies in the Senate has been deserted
by the Whig members who were placed in
juxtaposition. They have removed to an
other portion of the Hall. His Whig room
mate has changed his lodgings, and this has
been done silently and calmly and without
concert; every individual, as if from in
stinct, simultaneously avoiding the man
who could summon the wicked deliberation
to commit the wrong upon them, upon a
confiding party, and, above all, upon him
self.
“ We shall only point, in addition to the
preamble and resolution adopted by unani
mous vote of the Whig representatives of
the People, and add, as we are requested
and authorized to do in the name of every
Whig member of both houses, that they
ijieet with their emphatic and unhesitating
approval.”
Mr. John Neal, a gentleman of sum
I'iniio in the literal - }’ world, and remarkable
for his eccentric opinions, has been lectur
ing in advocacy of the “ Rights of Wo
men” This is a favorite subject with lit
erary old maids und old niaidish men. and
has been worn so thread-hare long ago that
even Mr. Neal will fail in persuading ob
stinate inen to yield to petticoat government,
except when, as usual, brought into subjoe
tion by matrimony. Ridicule is always
the best answer to senseless twaddle, and
we conceive that the arguments of Mr. John
Neal und all the other advocates of the
Rights of Women,” are completely over
thrown by the subjoined from the Brooklyn
N. Y. News:
“ Mr. N. thinks that women should vote;
should participate in the duties of juries,
and have a voice in the civil and military
engagements of our government. What
absurd stuff is ull this prattle about the
“ Rights of Women !” Suppose Mr. Neal’s
notions were carried into operation, what a
beautiful spectacle would not this country
present in a very short time ! The strong,
vigorous, enterprising Uncle Sam, trans
formed into a Jerry Sneak—a gigantic spe
cimen of a poor henpecked son of sorrow.
In time of war how effective would be our
army,the Commander-in Chief in a delicate
situation, liis officers darning stockings, and
the horse-soldiers washing diapers for the
infantry ! A pretty figure our fleet would
cut with our commodores suckling babes,
and our lieutenants pining away in love,
and letting
“Concealment, like a worm in the bud,
Feed on their damask cheeks.”
The man that would remove woman from
the position God has assigned her, should
be condemned to pantellets and flannels for
the remainder of his silly existence.”
05“ The Democrats of Massachusetts
lately had a glorification over their victory
in that State. The following Toast was
given at the dinner by an exiled hero of the
“ Dorr War
“The Paixhan Gun of Ilhode-Island—
may it be loaded with Gov. King, rammed
down with John Davis, touched off with
Wliiggery, and all go to boll together.”
Here is another similar sentiment done
into poetry—one of the volunteer toasts on
the same occasion :
“In 1840 things went on wed—
The coons are dead, and gone to hell.”
GEN. GASS.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Repub
lican, writing from Washington City, says-
The “ Gen. Cass excitement,” which ran
pretty high a few weeks ago, has died a
way, and 1 think we shall not hear much
morn of the “ Ex-Minister to France. ‘ —
Whenever his name is mentioned, you hear
his defence of Gen. Harrison commented
on ; a defence which would have s uled the
foul mouths of thousands and thousands n r
the base calumniators of that patriot uu.l
soldier, and carried joy to the good :d
man’s heart, but which was deferred until
the remorseless grave had dosed over him,
That defence of Gen. Harrison, after he
was dead, always struck us as a “lain
and impotent conclusion”—a piece of lip
service-,which was discreditable to the head
and heart of the man who uttered it.
Right of Instruction. —The ridiculous ex
cess to which some of our Legislatures
carry the practice of instructing Senators
and Representatives in Congress, is well
ridiculed by a correspondent of the Rich
mond Whig, in the following communica
tion :
Swamp Slashes, Henrico, Jan. 23,1843.
I live in the country, and therefore hear
but little news; but it is generally report
ed in my neighborhood that our Legislature
is going to instruct the Court Martial which
is to try Captain Mackenzie to find him
guilty. Please let us know if such is real
ly the fact.
Yours, respectfully, J. G.
SOMETHING RICH.
An English paper in referring to that
part of President Tyler’s message in which
he recommends the refunding of General
Jackson’s fine, discourseth as follows :
“ The message closes with a recommen
dation which all must wish to see carried
out. Englishmen are the last to wish to
see a brave enemy crippled by his sacrifi
ces for his country ; and, were it needful,
we do not doubt that many of them would
willingly subscribe to prevent a brave foe
from being ruined.
“The extreme selfishness of republi
cans, however, from the days of Athens and
Rome, has been proverbial. The facts of
the case with respect to General Jackson
stand thus: pending the attack on Ne.w-
Orleans he came to its defence after pro
claiming military law, took a number of
bales of cotton in order to form a rampart
for protecting the city. His defence was
successful; but nevertheless the patriotic
cotton merchants of New-Orleans sued the
victorious general; the man to whom they
owed the preservation of all they possessed;
in the courts of the State lor the value of
cotton seized, though it was offered to be
returned with only the incidental damage,
and they succeeded in obtaining a verdict
with heavy damages against the man who
had preserved them, when they were panic
stricken and ready to surrender, from their
enemy ! The incident is worthy of a nich
in republican history. We cannot wonder
that executive men, in the United States,
feel the degradation to which the unpatri
otic selfishness of their commercial breth
ren exposes them.”

Hail-road Accident. —By a passenger
who came through from Weldon bv ihe
mail last night, wo learn that a fatal acci
dent occurred oil the Wilmington Railroad
on Saturday morning last. The particu- ,
lars, as far as we were enabled to gather ;
them, arc as follows : When within forty
five miles of Wilmington, the forward axle
of the passenger car broke, passing up thro’
and tearing up the entire bottom of the car,
in which there were 18 or 20 persons, one
of whom, Col. Hall of Baltimore, was so
seriously injured that he only survived till
he reached Wilmington. Messrs Camp
bell of Baltimore, and Miller of Savannah,
were also seriously injured, but they were
brought to Charleston, where they remain
in a dangerous situation. Os the remain
der of the passengers 10 or 12 were more or
less bruised, but none seriously.
Angus Ia Chronicle.
A Pennsylvania paper records the death
of a man lately, of Ridley, in that Slate, of
a disease we never before hoard of killing
a man— the glanders. It was caused by
bleeding a horse, sick with that distemper.
At the time of bleeding the animal, he had
a cut on one of his fingers, into which the
poisonous virus of the disease was trans
mitted to the system, and in a short time
made itself manifest throughout the whole
frame. Mortification ensued, and death
put an end to his sufferings in about three
weeks after he was attacked.
Increase of Roman Catholics in the United
States. —The number of Roman Catholics
in the United States has been lately estima
ted at 1,500,000, an increase of 200,000
since tho beginning of the year 1842. Os
churches and chapels there are 574, and 82
in process of construction, making a total
of 656. Os officiating priests the number
is 572. 19 of these have been made in the
year 1842 34 new churches have been
erected in 1842 : t 4 of which are in the dio
cese of New-York.

The Choctaw Tribe of Indians —The Ar

Choctaw Almanac, statistics indicative of
the progress of this tribe towards civiliza

which they have issued, up to September,
1842 33 000 impressions, or more than
three millionsof pages, consisting of trans
lations of books, pamphlets, &c. They
have also contributed §IO,OOO to the build

tocomplete the education ofChoctaw youth,

Fhir country is divided into four dis
tricts. There aro courts of law in each,
judges inferior and superior, with all the
necessary officers. Religious and temper
ance societies abound, and trade is carried
on with spirit. The population of the four
districts w hich comprise their territory is
17,000. There are many missionaries a
ntong them. In one district there are eigh
teen, fourteen of whom are of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Free Seats in Churches. —While the
Methodists in this country are gradually
sliding into the private pew system, the
Episcopalians in England seem, from the
following article, to be preparing to aban
don it:
“The parish church at Ipswich, Eng
land, has been cleared of all its pews, by
command of the Bishop of Norwich, prepa
ratory to its being lilted up with open
i benches, on die principle that in ‘the House
of God all arerqual.’ At Coventry, also,
the Bishop of Worcester and the Archdea
con of the former place have stated that
the parish church (Trinit}') is equally the
property of all the parishioners. The poor
man’s church, it is remarked, cannot afford
to pay for drawing rooms in the shape of
pews.”
The finished Railroads of the United
States in length amount to 4442 miles, and
their cost to at least one hundred millions
of dollars. Besides this vast amount of i
ron highways there is a considerable a
mount of the same kind of work now in pro
gress.
Some poor editor in Connecticut must be
rather hard run. Hear him:— '■'■Weill —

eaten it too, if the constable liad’nt levied
on it. Bring ’em in the night, friends,
round the back way.”
Marriage is a feast where the grace is

The acme of Laziness. —The laziest man
we ever heard of, was described as follows,
to a friend of ours, by an old lady in Cow
eta county, Ga.:
“ Perhaps you didn’t know Zeke Gib
bens, what lived down here on West Fork ;
well, he was the laziest man you ever hearn
tell of. When he and his wife got married
they had a pretty good chance of truck be
tween ’em. But Zeke was too lazy to
make crops and so every thing went to rack
and ruin. Zeke’s-wife was a right smart
o’oman, so she told him one day he’d got to
goto work, says he “ honey, 1 don’t know
how to work.” “ Can’t you plough,” says
she. “ Don’t know how,” says Zeke.—
“ \)'ell, I’ll show you,” says she ; so she
geared up the horse, nut him in the plough
herself, and took Zeke and led him to it,
and put hiS hands on the plough-handles,
j and do you think tho lazy crittur didn't
j stand there without stirring an inch till tile
calves cat all his shirt tail off'.'’
Beauties of Mil/erism. —lt appears from
the Shcrbrook, (N. B.) Gazette, that our ci
ty is not tho only place where such diaholi
; cal scenes are to be witnessed. According
j to a police report in that paper, the Rev.
| John Swazov, a lending Millerite preacher,
was lately hauled up before a magistrate
; for .committing an assault and battery upon
j a person by the name of Sawyer, of a most
heinous character. It was given in evi.
deuce that one of the practices at the nice
i tings over which Swazcy presided was to
i ‘struggle’ and have pretended visions on the
floor, during which tho congregation edified
themselves by looking on. While the re
verend gentleman was engaged in one of
these ‘struggles,’Sawyer irreverently took
hold of his leg, and before he was aware,
found himself sprawling on tho floor. At
this moment, the worthy visionary seemed
suddenly gifted with a power to struggle
stronger than ever, and while the spell was
upon him, his feet came in contact with the
chest of Sawyer, who was pushed up a
gainst one of the seats, with such apparent
hearty good will,that the latter camo very
near being kicked to death, and for several
days aftenyards his life was despaired of.
Swazey’s defence before the magistrate
was that he Was under tho influence of a
power from above, and could not control
iiis actions, and that the injury inflicted
upon Sawyer was tho manifestation of
God’s displeasure against sin. ft appeared,
however, from the evidence that he and
some of his coadjutors could go into a strug
gle whenever they those, as one of the wit
nesses testified that lie heard Swazcy and
another preacher arranging which of them
should do the ‘struggling,’ previous to the
commencement of a meeting. The result
of the trial was, that the reverend struggle! -
was fined Is. 2d, and costs—amounting in
all to about £5, 10. Swazcy, as might
have been expected, claims that he was
persecuted for righteousness sake.
A Pattern Subscriber —Tho Connecticut
Courant records the death of Dr. John VVa
irous, aged 91, who, among other exoellen
ciesv had been a subscriber to that, paper
for nearly 69 years, and was in the habit of
paying for it in advance, sometimes as
much as three or four years. It is not sur
prising that such a good man should have
lived to the age of 91 ; the only wonder is
that he ever died.
Another, nearer home. —A subscriber to
the Observer, in Surry county, who lias
regularly paid his subscription for 19 years
(and how*much longer we know not,) al
most always in advance, in forwarding the
amount for the year 1843, says, “If there
is anyone thing which a man ought to do
above all others, besides saying his pray
ers and attending to a sick wife or child, it
is to pay the printer.”
We fear that some of our good friends do
not attend to the first duty above named, or
they would be more punctual in complying
with the last.
Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer.
Arnold's Bill No. 548.—This is the title
given by Mr. Arnold, a Representative from
Tennessee, in Congress, to his bill for re
ducing the pay of members ofCongress 20
per cent. While retrenchment schemes of
all kinds are entertained by the House, Mr.
Arnold cannot get even a hearing for his
bill No. 548, and his motions to consider it
are regularly voted down. Mr. Mark Coo
per, of Georgia, one of the whole-sale re
trenchment men, stopping short, however,
when the scythe of retrenchment reaches
members of Congress, proceeded so far re
cently as to express his willingness to abol
ish the Army and Navy, to save expense, but
he would not consent to reduce a modicum
of the pay of members of Congress Mr
Arnold on.this declaration being made 1 i
the following happy hit at Mr. Cooper:
Ah! Mr. A. saw how it was: the gen
tleman was willing to cut down the allow
ance of a poor little midshipman that he
sent to his mother, and to cut down, at a
blow, every veteran officer who had nuled
our flag to the mast, before he would con
sent to take two dollars a day off his own
allowance! Mr. A. had had his fears that
tiiis was the most that might be calculated
on from the gentleman’s zeal for retrench
ment As soon as the gentleman had got
into his speech, it was plain he was driving
in the wind, but into what port, no man a
live could guess. To use a Western fig
lire, the honorable gentleman had swarmed
—that was plain—but where he was goitre
to settle, nobody could tell. The gentle
man declared himself to be going for re
trenchment, and Mr. A. had really hoped
he might be; but alas; how was he disap
pointed! The gentleman would not go for
bill 548—0 h, no—but he would abolish the
armyawri the navy! When the people saw
it come to that, they would say to the gen
man, “go on, and now abolish Congress, a
bolish the Government, and let every man
he his own Government!”
As the gentleman went on. Mr. A. had
thought, at first, that he was going for the
exchequer; but no. Then he thought he
was for the project of the 200,000,000; but
he was not. The gentleman was against
a tariff, against direct taxes, and against
reducing his own pay. Really, it had been
a most extraordinary speech, it steered a
most curious course, and ended in Point-oo-
Point. [A laugh.] The gentleman, in a
word, went for liberal pay and no taxes.
Appearance. —l became poor, and my ap
parel soon evinced it; I was universally
avoided—l passed through the streets as
through a desert. I had three old hats ; I
gave them all for one new one, put it on,
and went out —I was immediately accosted
by dozens. My wife contrived to get up
one tolerable coat out of two old ones ; I
put it on also, and went out—every one now
recognized me, and I was shaken hands
with at every corner. Those that have un
fortunately more brains than bank notes,
can apply the moral.

Useless Veto. —The Legislature of Ar
kansas lately passed a bill allowing the
members thereof to draw their per diem
compensation in specie. His Excellency,
Gov. Yell, immediately returned the hill
to them with his objections. The substance
of thorn is, that tiie other officers of the State
are by law compelled to receive their pay
J in depreciated Arkansas paper, and that he
j sees no reason why a discrimination should
ho made in favor of the members of ill.- Le

nevertheless the two houses passed the bill
in spite of the Executive Veto.

Rather Pointed. —An exchange paper
says : “ E. B. Doolittle is in the habit of
robbing our hen-roost, and stealing our
nearest neighbor’s pigs in the night. If he
does not desist, we shall publish his name. ”
This is equal to a minister at camp-meet
ing, who said, “ If the lady with the blue
hat, red hair, and cross eyes don’t stop talk
ing, she will he pointed out to tho congre
gation.”
COMPOSTS.
It is objected against the use of Lime in
the formation of a compost heap, that it not
only promotes decomposition, but expels the
ammonia eliminated in the process, and
hence, that the most valuable part of the
manure, if not the only part which enters in
to the food of plants, is lost. That lime
does promote tho decomposition of those
vegetable and other substances, which form
the constituent elements of compost heaps,
we most readily admit—nay, in our view,
we hold it that this is one of the most useful
offices performed by it ; but we are not as
yet prepared to fall into the belief, that it
necessarily also drives off beyond the reach
of the plants, those parts of manure which
are capable of being taken up by roots, !■
cause it is within the competency of ever;
one making a compost heap, to provide a
gains such contingency, in either one of
two ways. First, by covering the mass
with a body of earth or mould sufficiently
deep to absorb the escaping gases—and.
secondly, by sowing Plaster over each lay
er of the heap when first made up. Bv la
king either of these precautionary mean
the ascribed tendency of the lime may b
counteracted, while by its decomposer
property, nutriment will be provided for the
growing crop in a form which will render
its benefits immediate, and enable the col
I turist to reap present profit.
Among the most enlightened and earli
est experimenters in Plaster, was the late
John Taylor, of Caroline, Va. He, after a
scries of years of close observation, came to
the conclusion, that among the most profita
ble ways of using plaster was that of incor
porating it with his yard manures, as he
put them out in the spring. Without giv
ing, or presuming to giv. . the rationale of
its operation, he contented himself with sim
ply stating the fact. Nor do we believe,
that, in the then state of agricultural science
that he could have described the modus op
erandi, if he had been so disposed. But this
result of the experiments of Colonel ‘Taylor,
is amply explained by the theory of Profes
sor Leibig, who ascribes to Plaster the ca
pacity of giving a fixed condition to the am
monia which is brought into the soil, or in
other words—of seizing on, and retaining
in the soil, the volatile portions of manure,
which would otherwise be lost to the soil
but for this power of attraction and retention
imputed to the Gypsum. Ifitdidnot pos
sess this power, with respect to this pecu
liar food of plants, which is found as well
in the elements as in the soil, it would be
difficult, indeed, to divine the process bv
which so small a quantity as a bushel of
Plaster to the acre could effect so dispro
portionate a quantity of benefit as it does
in the increase of the crop to which it may
he applied.— American Farmer.

FROM FLORIDA.
By the arrival of the U. S. steamer Gen.

the St. Augustine Herald, of the Gtb and

paper we extract the following:
Southern Coast. —The Senior Editor of
this paper returned from an expedition
down the Southern coast of Florida, on Sun
day last, after an absence of over five
weeks, during which period the gentlemen
who composed our party (Messrs. Hum
phreys, Wharton, Zylstra, and Russell.)
have greatly improved in health, although
they had much hardship and fatigue to un
dergo. The country abounds with fish,
oysters, and game of every description, to
such an extent that it is beyond description
—with little or no trouble attendant upon
procuring them. The climate of this sec
tion of Florida is in every respect equal to
that of the Island of Cuba, and invalids from
the North would be fully convinced of the
fact should they be able to make a trial.—
The tropical plants are as green and fresh
as though it was the midst of summer ; the
wild flower in full bloom, and the butterfly
busy inhaling its delicious odour. Tho
scenery in traversing tho Halifax River,
