In this country, the laws against slander were I
Vt . r v severe during the early settlement of New j
England. A Wanderer, a backbiter, or a mis- j
.jjieJinaker. were regarded as pests of society, j
3 nd the laws provided for tbe exemplary punish- !
,„ent of all such offenders, as will be seen, in
part, by the following extracts from the ancient
ecorJs of Massachusetts:
“ Thomas Petit, for •suspicion of slander,
idleness and slubborncss, is sentenced to be se
verely whipped, and to be kept in hold.”
('apt. Stone, for abusing Mr. Ludlow, a
Justice of Peace) and calling him Justass, is
Sard an hundred pounds, ami prohibited coining i
within the patent without the Governor’s leave J
upon pain of death.”
In Poland the laws against slander were very i
severe in the 13th and 14lh centuries. The per
son who was convicted of propagating an unfoun- j
jed tale of slander, militating against the char
ter of an honest individual, was forthwith sen- j
tenced to place himself publicy under a table, in |
the attitude of a dog—there to bark three times,
ami between every barking to declare aloud that
.. be had lied like a dog.” If this law should be
adopted in this country at the present time, and
enforced, there would be a tremendous yelping !
among the locofoco editors from Madawaska to j
Texas.
It was a saying of him who never spake a
miss, “ Judge not lest ye he judged .” How .
careful then should we be of tbe character of i
others —knowing that God also will judge us —
and remembering also our imperfections, and that
a g-ood name is one of the most desirable things
in life, and a valuable inheritance for our did- j
I dreu. True charity to mankind, teaches us to j
Ido to others as we would be done by. An ob- ,
I S ervance of this Christian rule would give the [
I death blow' to slander.
A Confession.
The editor of the Globe thus acknowledges that
I towards the close of Congress, he was engaged in
I the mean business of espionage. —The paragiaph
[ from a leading editorial of tbe Globe of Tuesday.
“ The quantity of trash which has passed thro’
I the post office here, under the frank of Members of j
I Congress, is truly incredible. We often visited the ;
I afire late in the evening, and have invariably found
I at out a cart load of document if ranked by Members
I of Congress.
It is stated in the New York Express, that Col.
[.Tames Hamilton and Mr. Bray ton of that city, have
(invented a very superior mud machine. The ma- .
I chine is so constructed as to be used entirely under !
IwatA, the mud or sand being taken up, carried in-
Ito deep water and discharged, without being
brought to the surface. It works equally well at
(a depth of two or fifty feet. Cue hundred tons of
jmud have been raised and carried off at a sing e j
operation.
I Coloring.—Amongst the subjects lately dis
cussed in the French Academy of Sciences are, a ,
discovery, by a Dr. Bourguet, for dyeing and
preserving limber, one for obtaining blue or red .
[silk from silk worms. Dr. Bourguet states that |
lit the lower part of the trunk of a tree immersed, j
[as soon as it is felled, in a preparation of pyroiig- [
[neons acid, the preparation will be aosorbed 1
[throughout the whole of the tree, and that the 1
timber will subsequently resist decay. Hestates,
[also, that if coloring matter he placed in the li- 1
I quid it will be carried through all the vessels of I
;the tree, even to the leaves, and he permanently :
fixed. As this gentleman has made frequent ex- !
periments there appears to be no doubt of the cor
rectness of his theory. The mode of obtaining I
I blue or red silk from silkworms is kept a secret,
except as to an admission that it depends on the ■
'food of the insect. M. Flourens, a member of I
the Academy, had previously ascertained that the j
flesh, and even the bones of animals, may be col
ored, by keeping them for a long period on food
highly impregnated with coloring matter.
Silk Wonm Eggs.—The Germantown (Pa.) j
Telegraph states, that ten dollars per ounce is
freely offered for silk worms’ eggs in that place, 1
DIED, j
In this city on Monday last, Charges Acquilla [
Rich, ased 12 years, 3 months, and 21 days, eldest j
[son of Charles T. and Mary Rich.
On Monday morning this youth was in the en- j
[joyment of good health and spirits; on the after- 1
[ noon of that day, in attempting to get inco the Car
while under way, in the vicinity of the city, his
foot s ipped, and the train passed over or e foot and
one leg, dreadfully lacerating both. Medical at
tendance not being at hand, he was carried home, j
but in the intervening time he had lost*so much j
blood, that it was found impossible to savt? his lile,
and he expired shortly after.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PLANTERS’ GAZETTE.
Edited by D. G. Cutting, Washington, Georgia. ■
IN offering a new Journal to the public fa* - pa
tronage, it is customary and proper to set forth -
in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc
tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as
to its management thaA its patrons may not at any 1
future time find themselves deceived or disappoint
ed in its course.
And first, as to our political creed. Believing |
that there is at present \ crisis in our national af
fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting
exertions of every true lover of bis country to
preserve it from the destruction that menaces it
that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted I
upon our institutions by ambitious and unprinci
pled politicians; that the Constitution, that sale- I
guard of our liberties, is in danges from their ma
chinations, and that the State Rights, doctrines and
the principles of the revolutionary patriots only,
can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde- (
viatin (r support to those doctrines. Our motto
shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the -
prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be
fore the people, we choose those for our support
who we believe will carry out State Rights mea
sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR
KISON and JOHN TYLER, gentlemen whom even
their enemies allow to be true patriots and honest
men.
As the title of our journal indicates, we shall
devote much of its columns to the interests of
Agriculture. We shall endeavor to give to the
Planter the latest and best information of the im
provements, now almost daily taking in his
business. We are aware that in the strife of party,
agriculture, the foundation on which society rests,
has been too much neglected by the press, and that
some “Reform” is needed in this respect.
All the aid in our power shall be given to the
cause of literature, and we shall endeavor to ren
der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every
class of readers.
