CHRONICLE AND siINTINEL. AUGUSTA MONDAY MORNING, A 'RIL 6. Southern Ladies’ li iok. The appearance of the seco: 1 or Febiuary number of this new work on « ir table a lew days since, at first filled us with i glow of plea sure, for we feared it had ahead been consign ed to the tomb. Other claims upo our lime have afforded us but a glance at its pag j, and we con fess it was not unmingled with egret. Os the merits of the different articles, w! ich fill its pa ges, we intend on tins occasion to say but a word, —they are as a whole ch -mr. [Out our immediate object is to notice the i ypography, and general execution of the work. Really but for the name, we should say it had h=s the appear ance of a Ladies Book, than any i criodical which we have seen issue from an Amei can press. The “ tout ensemble” of the work in its typograpic ij execution, is not above the ordin: ary newspapers of the day,” and not equal to rany, very ma ny weekly sheets. The paper - very ordinary, the type, if new, arc badly*worked. the proof sheets carelessly read, and as a whole it espeaks a great er want of mechanical attention nd superiority ? than any work of the kind vve e er saw. We desire to be understood. x'X no one ima gine from these remaiks, that we are enemies to the work, far from it; and we as: .ire the Editors* the success of no enterprise of he kind would afford us more pleasure; and it L the interest we feel in its success which prompt!* these renargs. Let them not deceive themselves :>r be led astray by those who arc ignorant of the public taste in these matters. It were better that a number should be Kept back three montl >, than to issue such an edition as the one on ov r table. Much depends upon the appearance of a periodical as well as the contents, and unless i tore attention is naid to this department of the L ulies’ Book, we predict its speedy dissolution, w ich we should • very much regret. Theatre. Mrs. Madison takes her benclit and leave of our boards this evening, in th > characters of “ Constance” in the “ Love Chase ” and “Blonde” in “ Captain Stephens.” The I ill for the even ing’s entertainment is attractive, and we hope tliat the continued and indefatigable exertions of Mr. and Mrs. Madison, to cater for the amuse ment of the admirers of the drai ta will not go unrewarded. ! Circus. | We arc requested by the prepr etors to assure the public that the seats, which broke down on Saturday night, at the Circus, wil be refitted and strengthened by this evening, so as to secure visiters against a similar accident in future.

The following odious sentinie: t$ are from the pen of Mr. Fisk, a prominent c litor and office holder in the Van Buren party of Virginia. We ask the attention of our readers to^them. The oppositioa to the Administration have re peatedly charged the Administration party with endeavoring to inculcate these demoralising doc trines, and it has been stoutly denied. Although ws a>e fully aware, that a large [portion of the party would scout them as unwprthp of a mo ment’s consideration, it is not to be denied that there are many among them, who are industri ously and earnestly engaged in their dissemina tion, and who would be pleased, iho doubt, to see every member of society reduced to a common levt 1. This demoralizing feature its openly urged in the following remarks. It is nbt to be satisfac torily controverted, that such is and has been the tendency of all the efforts of these men to array the poor against the rich. If, therefore, the more intelligent and respectable portion of the party desire to avoid such disastrous consequences to the peace of society, it behooves them to discard end openly denounce the instigators of such a libel upon our institutions, else t;iey will subject themselves to the charge of aiding and abetting in this work of infamy and degradation. “I hold it to be quite as impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Democracy, as it is for him to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” “ -1 have sworn, upon the altar of God, eternal hostility to every form’ of paper money; I could wish that these nefarious corporations had but one neck, that it might be chopped off at a sin gle blow. I would strangle the whole brood of poisonous vipers in their own folds—they should perish by their own venom. In this “war upon xhe currency,” I hav&.enlisted during life” “A popular hurricane that would sweep our array of Federal lawyers from the halls of legis lation—a political earthquake that would engulf our thieving manufactories of paper money in one huge pandemonium—would be the rie .est blessing which could be bestowed upon this her wise, happy land.” “Our banking corporations tire in the field, waging an open war with the government of our choice; and how stands the case at this tremen dous crisis! Are you preparing to help onward the wheels of this ponderous juggernaut,! which is rolling over the people, covering them with its pollution and crushing them to the earth.” “Should we see one man owning an hundred houses, and ninety-nine men without any houses at all! To answer affirmatively, would be a monstrous libel upon both the justice and bene volence of the Almighty.” “And yet these upstart scions of a contempti ble aristocracy dare to turn up their delicate noses at the sunburnt faces of those who produce the very bread they eat; they have the unblushing presumption to speak contemptuously, of nature's noblemen, whose patent was derived from the Deity himself.” ! “The only ‘useful knowledge’ tljat thefonprodna tive classes, the drones and idlers, wish to see dis seminated, is that which teaches working men how to create wealth for the lazy men to enjoy.” ‘■He who does not labor, either with the hand or the head, is a pauper ora robber.” “Why is it that the sons of industry toil on on from year to year for a bare subsistance, and the nabob, wdio never toiled an hour in his life, is clothed in purple and fares sumptuously every d ly! Why is it that those who provide the feast, arc compelled to stand and look on while the drones gorge themselves to bursting!” “The Banks of the District of Columbia re fusing to pay their honest debts, and no notice is taken of the fact in (he House of Representatives, although they have been in session more than three months already. Either the banks of the District are to be charged with roguery or insolvency; they either can redeem their false | promises, or they cannot; if they can, and do not, j then their managers should share the criminal’s doom.” “In ease of an invasion or insurrection, the large property holders are seldom returned among the list of killed or wounded —they are more generally among the missing, when the tug of war comes on.” The Albany Journal of the 31st ult. says:— The bill to preserve the purity of Elections in the City of New York, and to promote convenience of legal voters, received the signature of the Gov ernor and became a Law yesterday. Those pro visions of the Law which sub-d.vide the City into small Election Districts, are applicable to the ap proaching Charier Election, and go into imme diate effect. We barn that there is too much reason (says the New York Courier) to apprehend that the pilot boat Sea Gull, attached to the Exploring Expedition, as tender to the U. S. sloop ot war Vincennes , has been lost, and that all on board have perished. She has not been heard of since the month of June last. Then she left Orange, Terra del Fuego,—miles north of Cape Horn, in company with the Flying Fish. A gale soon af ter arose, and the latter succeded in beating off the shore. This was the last seen of the Sea Gull. Lieutenants Reed and Bacon, two prom ising young officers, were on board. The Por poise had been twice in search of her without success. The Lieut. Reed, alluded to in the goregoing paragraph, is the son of Judge R. R. Reed, for merly of this city, now Governor of Florida.— Ed. Chronicle & Sentinel. Treasury Notes.

Working Men, read and consider the facts set forth in the following article. A distinguished Administration Senator openly advocates the odious Sub-Treasury scheme, because it will re duce your wages for the labor of your hands ! Will you support an Administration, a part of whose avowed policy it is, to reduce you to the condition of those foreign laborers, enumerated below. Are your wages too high, that you are willing to assist the Administration in reducing them ! Look to this matter attentively. This measure so often repudiated by the people is about to be forced upon them; and it aims a blow direct ly at your interest, already suffering greatly by the universal hardness of the times. Read anil reflect upon the following facts : POLTTrcS OF WORKING MEN. A few days since we referred to Mr. Buchan an’s argument, that the amount of money in the country and the wages of labor must be reduced, before we can enjoy permanent prosperity; and that these blessings are to be brought about .by the Sub-Treasury scheme.—We showed the fol lowing to be the rates of wages in some of the countries to which Mr. Buchanan referred as pat terns for the working men of America, viz : France. —Wages of common laborers, seven and a half pence per day, and find their own hou ses. Sweden —Men on farms daily wages from four to eight ponce per day, and board them-elves. Bavaria. —Laborers paid 8 pence per day and board themselves. Belgium. —The best artizans and mechanics, one shilling per day. Wages lower on the farms. German}/. —Laborers from 2 to 7 pence per day, without board. Netherlands. —South Holland, laborers from three to four pence per day without board. Italy.— Trieste, laborers twelve pence with | board. Tuscany, six pence per day without ei -1 thcr board or lodgings Saxony. —The wages for weavers and other manufactures, about 10 cents per day. Mr. Buchanan says that the sub-treasury scheme will render money so scarce that the rates of wages must foil, and therefore the manufactures of the United States will be able to compete in our markets with the manufactures of those coun tries in which the laboring classes far as above sta ted in the way of wages. We have entertained the opinion that it would be better to pay a tariff on the productions of foreigners sufficient to keep them from our ports, than to reduce the wages of the poor, who have difficulties enough to contend with in the best times. In order fully to show the working men into whose hands this may fall, to what a miserable condition the A an Buren administration wish to bring them to, as well in regard to food as wages, we have compiled the folloA'ing facts from au thentic works upon the subject : France. —ln some of the districts, the food of the poor consists in rye bread, a kind of soup made of millet, cakes of Indian corn now anil then some salt provisions and vegetables, but rarely, if ever, butcher’s moat. In other districts, wheaten bread, soup made with vegetables and a little grease or lard, twice a day, potatoes or oth er vegetables, but seldom butcher’s meat. Sweden. —The agriculturists in the Southern provinces live on salt fish and potatoes; in the northern, porridge and rye bread form their food. Belgium. —The mechanics live exclusively on rye bread, potatoes and milk. The other hard money countries are similar to these. The laboring and operative classes arc in a miserable condition. While a laborer in the United States can live on the fat of the land, and indeed working side by side with his employer, and eating at the same table, the laborer in those countries of Europe which Mr. Buchanan thinks are such excellent patterns, must subsist on but one kind of diet and that of the coarsest kinds. In every other respect the working men of those countries are equally degraded, compared with the working men of the United States.—With ns a man may rise by talent, industry and prudence, from the lowest to the highest station in society or the government, but in the European deposi tions. he who happens to be born a peasant will always remain so. There is no chance for pro motion there. M e feel every confidence that the working men of the country will resent, as it deserves, the insulting proposition of Mr. Buchanan; and if the sub-treasury bill be passed, its repeal will be demanded and enforced by the people before a year. In a day or two we will point out to our readers one or two of its effects, and also some of the reasons which may induce Mr. Buchanan to support it strongly. — Harrisburg Telegraph. A Charitable Man and a good Citizen —lt is stated in the New York Courier that on examination of the books of the late Samuel Ward, it appears that his contributions for char itable purposes, during the four last years of his life, exceeded ten thousand dollars per annum. From the Walerlcw.l Register. A Leaf of History. A BUB-TREASURT BEFORE THE REVOLUTION. It is a fact not generally known that the suh- Treasury was once in full operation in New York, under the Governors sent over by the Sov ereigns of England. From the “ History of New York, from the first discovery to the year 1793, by Wm. Smith, A. M., with a continua tion to the year 1840,” we make the following extracts,| which go to prove that our democratic President has not been searching among mon archies for precedents without some success; though he very wisely confined his investigations to the eastern side of the Atlantic. Who will sav that “revolutions never move backwards 1” In the year 1691, under the administration of Gov. Henry Slaughter, the General Assembly es tablished a revenue, of which the history speaks thus : “Among the principal acts enacted at this ses sion. we may mention that for the establishment of a revenue, which was drawn into precedent. The sums raised by it were made payable into the hands of the Receiver General, and issued by the Governor’s warrant. By this means the Governor became, for a season, independent of the People . and hence we find frequent instances of the Assembly’s contending with him for the payment of the debts to individuals, contracted on the faith of the Government.” —Page 126. Gov. Slaughter was succeeded by Colonel Benjamin Fletcher, a man of strong passions, very active, and equally avaricious. In Septcrn , her, 1692, the revenue established for the year preceding was continued for five years longer.— Governor Fletcher proved to be a sub-Treasurcr of the first water, according to the history : “At that day the Assembly had no treasure ; but the amount of taxes went of course into the hands of the Receiver Genera*, who was ap pointed by tie drown ! Out of this fund mo neys were issuable only by the Governor’s war rant, from Mr. Blaithwait, who drew annually five per cent, out of the revenue as Auditor Ge neral, down to the meanest servant of the Public, became dependant solely on the Governor ; and hence we find the House, at the close of every session, humbly addressing his Excellency for the trifling wages of their own clerk. —Page 142. Gov. Fletcher was succeeded by Richard Earl of Bellamont, who, in his opening speech, gave the Assembly his word of honor that he would not steal the public money I “I shall take care that there be no misapplica tion of the public money. I will pocket none of it myself, nor shall there be any embezzlement by others; but exact accounts shall be given you, when, and as often as you shall require.”—Page 155. Fortunately for the People, Lord Bellamont was a man of his word; but his successor, Lord Cornbury, was so prone to practical suh-treasury ism, that the Assembly refused to raise money to be put in his hands, and addressed the Queen of England, “Complaining of the ill state of the revenue, through the frauds which had formerly been com mitted, the better to facilitate the important de sign of having a treasurer dependant on the As sembly."—Page 177. Lord Cornbury was removed, and in June, 1721, the Assembly, according to permission from the Queen, elected a treasurer. In 1741, Lieut. Gov. Clark, in his speech to the Assembly, complained of the encroachment of the Legislature upon his prerogatives. His lamentation ran in this wise : “Late Assemblies, having grown wanton by prosperity, had abused the clemency of the Crown, and had demanded the nomination of their own treasurer „• this demand having been granted, they had further insisted on the particu lar appointment of the salaries of the officers of Government, and absolutely refused to raise any revenue unless this demand was likewise grant ed.”—Page 444. The Assembly, in their address, in reply to the Governor, said : i “That while the public moneys were at the dis posal of the Governor and Council, they were misapphed; and that the Assembly, to correct the evil, directed such moneys as were raised for the forces intended for the security of the colony to pass through the hands of a person appointed by the Legislature ,- that Queen Anne had sanc tioned that nrocedure, and allowed the Legisla . ture to appoint its own treasurer .”—Page 447. The Prices Current. —The talc which is told by the prices current in all parts of the coun try, is having more effect upon the minds of the people, than all the speeches which are spoken and editorials which are written on the misdeeds of the present Administration. Look to what part of the country you please, and you see nothing but depression in trade, and the utter prostration of all the products of the soil. The language of the prices current, is one momoton ous sing-song of “this article is dull," “that arti cle is falling,” and the other article is “hearing a nominal price.” And will not intelligent far mers who this year will find their incomes cut short one half, ask what has caused this diminu tion of their means of livelihood? Will they not, of necessity, look into the cause which has thrown the country from a height of prosperity which was without a parallel in the history of the world, into an abyss of depression and prostration which the most desponding never dreamed of? Surely they will, and the most superficial examination must satisfy them that the mad experiments of the Administration have brought these evil days upon them.— Petersburg Intelligencer. From the Philadelphia Rorth American. Humbug. —This has been emphatically deno minated the age of humbug, avid who knows not how to avail himself of the advantages arising from the use of it, will, we fear, fare badly in his passage through life. In all professions, and in all trades, does it abound, and each draws upon his neighbor in proportion to the measure of his ability. In nothing, however does it more pre vail than in the mania for lecturing, which per vades the community from Portland to New Or leans. Every stalling lecturer that has impu dence and effrontery sufficient to face an audi ence, and retail to them the superficial informa tion picked up in a few books, is at once a great man, and the dignified title of Professor, which once bore a significant meaning, is tacked to his name. We have often wondered at the courage which induces a crowded audience to endure the hour’s infliction put upon them, to listen to that which has been familiar to them for many years, or should have been, and to lavish upon the au thor of all verbiage, praises due only to the wise and learned who, occas : onally, kindly bestow up on the community a portion of that hoarded knowledge which years of habitual study have enabled them to acquire. The love of admiration which pervades in a greater or less degree the breast, of all, is one of the causes which may operate to induce the man of learning and of science thus to impart his in formation, but how must an honest pride in his own acquirements be based, when he hears the encomiums justly his due, lavished upon every ignorant pretender. He finds the community, and the organs, of that community, unable to see' or unwilling to acknowledge his superiority, and resolves in future to draw himself from their gaze, and confine himself to the seclusion of his own study. The newspaper press of our country is mainly answerable for the growth of the many spurious representations we see flourishing around us. The indiscriminate system of puffing, which almost universally pervades it, has induced much of the evil, and men who should never have been known beyond the small circle of their own firesides, are bubbled into existence, and strut their little hours upon the stage in all the vanity of literary coxcombs. Were the press really and truly independant, and did its conduc tors refuse to aid this vitiated taste, or rather in flict the scourge where it was deserved, wc should not see so many notices of peripatetic “ professors” willing to enlighten their audiences on any subject under the sum at from 25 cents to one dollar a head per hour. There are many other humbugs daily practised, hut we must for bear any further enumeration of them. Eloq.uf.nt remarks. —The Whig members of the N. Y. Legislature held a meeting in the Capitol on the 22nd ult. to celebrate the birth day of Washington. The celebration was a noble one. Many eloquent speeches were made. The Hon. Gulian C. Verplanck offered a series of res olutions, which he prefaced with a speech of sur passing spirit and power. We regret that we have room but for this brief and thrilling extract; Mr. Speaker, I congratulate you and the repre sentatives of the people here assembled on this dav on this occasion. From my heart do I con gratulate you—l congratulate you all, because this day so rich, so hallowed in its associations with the past, is also now the herald and the sure pledge of a glorious future. On this very day in every part of our wide republic, crowds of honest men and lovers of their country, have met upon the same great business that calls us together. In every part of our rocky land, from the rocky hills of New England to the rich, fertile plains of Mich igan and Illinois, from the crowded commercial cities of our coast to the log cabin hamlets of the far w’est, arises one and the same loud, firm, uni ted shout for Harrison and Reform. It is the voice of the brave, the honest and the free. It is a voire of a mighty multitude, as of the ocean wave. It is a voice of power and of truth. I congratulate you more especially, Mr, Presi dent, and my brother representatives of the peo ple, vhat amongst those this day assembled, wc too, are met, to raise—not our own—but the rep resentative voice of a majority of the electors of New York. Here—in this hall of the people—do we raise the voice of the Empire Stale, speaking through those to whom she has confided her rights, her interests and her sovereignty. It is a voice rejecting the unworthy son of New York and pledging her forty-two electoral votes to one whom Virginia hails as her child, whom the West wel comes as its hero and its benefactor, whom the Union is proud to claim as the man of the na tion. The voice of New York has never been heard in vain. It is “ A voice oft heard In worst extremes, and on the perilous edge Os battle where it raged; to the whole land It’s surest pledge of hope or safety.” Yes, that old voice which was so often raised during the war of the revolution—which was rai sed during the worst extremes of the war of 1812 summoning all without distinction of party to the common defence; that voice since heard in the most perilous emergencies that have threatened our Union—that voice never was, never will be, never can he, raised in vain. Yes, this is indeed a season of present gloom and of fearful foreboding—darkness around and “danger’s voice before.” But already, now at this very hour, the darkness begins to breakaway —the beams of light and truth already struggle upwards through the gloom—the clouds redden with the approaching dawn of truth and of power. Already the foul things of darkness, the night i birds of prey, are flitting hack towards their hi- I ding places. Yet a little while—yet a little, and tire whole firmament will glow with the ascending | rays of the sun of Constitutional Freedom. The History of Human Life. »Y ROBFRT M. CHARLTON. How truly does the journey of a single day> its changes and its hours, exhibit the history of human life! We rise up in the glorious fresh j ness of a spring morning. The dews of night, those sweet tears of nature, are hanging from each hough and leaf, and reflecting the bright and myriad, hues of the morning. Our hearts are beating with hope, our frames buoyant with health. We see no cloud, we hear no storm; and with our chosen and beloved companions clustering around us, we commence our journey. Step by step, the scene becomes more lovely, hour by hour our hopes become brighter. A few of ourcompanions have dropped away, left—sudden ly we have entered upon a new country. The j dews of the morning are exhaled by the fervor ot the noon day sun ; the friends that stand with | us are disappearing. Some remain, but their ; looks are cold and estrayed ; others have become weary, and have laid down to their rest; but new ] hopes beckon us on. The scene is glorious and brilliant, hut the beauty and freshness of morning have faded, and for ever. But still our steps fail not, our spirits droop not. Onward and onward we go : the horizon of happiness and fame re cedes as we advance to it: the shadows begin to lengthen, and the chilly airs ofeveningare usurp ing the fervor of noon-day. Still we press on ward ; the goal is not yet won, the haven not yet reached. The bright orb of hope that had cheered us on is sinking in the West; our limbs begin to grow faint, our hearts to grow sad ; we turn to gaze upon toe scenes that vve passed but the shadows of twilight have interposed their veil between us: we look around for the old and familiar faces, the companions ot our travel, but we gaze in vain to find them: we have out-stripped them all, in our race alter pleasure, and the phantom yet on- » caught, in a sterile and hospitable country, the night-time of death, and heavy laden, we lie down to rest in the bed of the grave ! Happy, thrice happy, is he, who hath laid up treasures for himself for the distant and unknown to-mor row. “ Thoughts on Asses.”— ln the last num ber ot Blackwood’s Magazine, is a clear bit of gossip. We agree with the writer that donkeys are a most unjustly calumniated class ‘of animals. There are many interesting associations connec ted with them, that should raise them in the es timation of every humane and thinking person. It was an Ass, that his timely praying, saved the throne of Lakcn, King of Siam ; an Ass, accord ding to the Koran; is to sound the trumpet of the resurrection ; and it was on an Ass that the Saviour rode into Jerusalem- Then think of Sancho’s Dapple,” to say nothing of Sterne’s “Dead Ass, and Peter Bell’s sagacious living , on . e j c r h . at aulhor thus takes U P His cudgels on behalf of the donkeys : “ e should like to know by what right -Lsop, and Gay, and all the fable mongers, from Jotham upwards, have pitched upon one unhap py |pimal, and made him a mock, and by a word, a laughing stock for all succeeding generations j to crack their ‘fool born jests’ upon. Now, in a | goose, there really is something ridiculous; —his very waddle is vain glorious ; he stretches out his head, and elevates his antipodes with all the pride ot a peacock ; his hiss is most superlatively self complacent ami contemptuous.—it is eloquent of irrepressible misanthropy ; a child can see through ; h.s pretensions to dignity ; his folly breaks outln the very means which he takes to hide it. But an Ass ; pshaw ! there is no deceit about an Ass ; he stands before us even as nature made him. whT e h lV i 0n t dhoneSt: he P retcn * not to beauty which he does not possess; he makes no oshm- o o th S ro,‘ SP t y ° hi 3 SaEadty ; he « content to slip through existence as peaceably and silemlv as we Wl ||.let him; ho wants but liftleand he get's e’ hno an ™,T T y le “ onS “ lhe nnt, and he find., possibly, fewer disciples.

It is called “2/ Anatomic Clasiique I ,” and is prepared by Dr. Auzoux, of Paris. 3 This curious piece of mechanism is a full length representation ofihe human form, with all the . hones, sinews, nerves, ligaments, and every other L 5 part and parcel” of the internal and external re j gions of the human system,'colored and fashioned exactly as they are in the living subject. Each part can be taken apart —the whole frame, from . i top to toe, can he dissected, without any of the , horrors or disagreeable effluvia which accompany . the real subjects. Yesterday we had an op s portunity of seeing a great portion of this piece of , mechanism taken apart, piece by piece, limb by r limb, ligament by ligament, till we discovered the whole internal arrangement of the human body, . heart, lungs, &c., from the brain to the great toe. I In halt an hour we acquired a more correct and j comprehensive knowledge of the mysteries of . anatomy than could otherwise be accomplished in , years of study. Altogether, this model presents one of the most chaste, beautiful and classical modes of studying 1 anatomical science that has yet been discovered.— The model was made in Pans for the Russian government, hut Dr. Bedford has, at great expense, procured it for his own use, and for the advan cement of the science, in the study of which he is an enthusiast. VA e trust that he will deliver a I course of lectures on the subject. They will be . invaluable. — N. Y.
