A ftect iso Isc idem.—On one of the many
bridges in Ghent stand two large brazen images of
father and eon, who ottamed this distinguished
mark of admiration of their fellow citizens by the
following incident:
Both the father and pen. were for rome offence
against the State, condemned to die. Some favo
rable circumstances appearing on the side of the e< n,
be was granted a remission of bis sentence, under
certain prcvisii r.t; in short, he was offered a pardon
cu a most cruel at. i b-rrborons t Uiditioc—viz : that
be ottld become the ex*' a’iorer of bis father ?
ll* a: first resolutely re'used -o preserve bis life
by means so fata ; ard detes’ibie. T> is is not to
be wondered at; tor let us hope, tor tbe honor of
our nature, that share are very few sons who would
not Lave spumed with -b hem-nee, life sustained
on a condition so horrid ard uccafnral. The son,
the ugh lorg irdieiifcle, was at length overcome by
tears and cntreaTis- of a fond father, who represen
ted *o him ; a’ a i events, Lis (the father's) life
was forfeited, and th\t it would be the greatest
s: i’ole coLsolation for him ia bis last moment , to
think that id his death, he was instreau nt ot his
eon's preservation.
Tbe youth consented to adopt tbe horrible means
cf recovering b : s life and liberty, be lifted the
axe—but as it was about to tali, his arm sunk
nerve lets and ‘he s-c dr pped from his Land ! Had
he as many fives as ha-irs, he cu.d have yielded
tbe® all,cue after another, rather than again con
< ive much lees ptrpttra e such an act. Life,
liberty, everything vamped before the dearer
it.tf rest of C ial affcf'ii u ; ie so 1 upon his father’s
r.e- k, and embracing him triumphantly exclaimed,
“My father' wed.e together !’ and then called for
another executioner to fu fi I the sentence of the,
law.
Hard must the'.r hearts indeed be—bereft of
of every sent'; memos vi.tue, every sensation of
hurra; ity, w .o could eta d an insensible spectator
e: l- h a scene. A euad pea; ot Involuntary ap
| Htise mixed with groans and pigu.-, rent the air.
The execution was suspended; and cn e simple
repr.it of ti.e Iran--lOtion to the auth rises, both
v.>:t p ardent o. IPgh 1 eware’e and honors were
©. . 'erred cn lit eon; and finally, those two ad
mircb e brazes images were ruued to oomaemc
ratea trars';c.i;n so honorable to human nature,
and transmit it to toe instruction and emulation of
posterity. TLa Prtue represent? tha eon m .ire
very act of letting fall the axe.

A Beactifcl Natukal Law.— No finer j roof
of provident legislation and benevolent design, in
the Bm;a|fcintßt of the laws of nature, can be
named, enye tie Boston Transcript, than is afford
ed by the method by wtioh ice is formed. By a
law of the physical uuiveise water condenses and
grows heavier, and as it becomes chil'ed at the
surface si ks to the bottom under influence of
cold. Whenever the temperature is not below 40
degrees, the coldest water is found at the bottom
part of a vessel or stream. Numberless good
effects are produced by this condensation. But if
this law was not modified, it is plain that freezing
would begin at the bottom of ponds, streams and
lakes. In this case the summer’s heat would not do
away with the effects of the winter air, and in
process of time every northern river would become
congealed and useless for navigation, the polar
water would become solid fields of ice, and the
temperature of the world suffe’- a disastrous change,
but, as if to remedy this evil, and make the skill
I of infinite benevolence more txquia’te.jand suggest
to us palpably the Creator’s wisdom, this law is
modified. We Dnd that when water reaches a few
degrees of the freezing poiut, instead of continuing
to coudense it the cold increases, it suddenly ex
panda even beyond in temperate density. The
heavy cold strata which had sunk to the b ttom
rise again to the surface and expand stLI lurtber
when they fret ze, lothat ica is lighter than its
element and must always float. In this way,
though all the beneficial results of contraction are
preserved, every bad effect is obviated. Thus by
the sudden reversal of a law, at a certain point,
ia favor of the interests and comfort of mankind,
dangers that might prove a final barrier against
commerce are averted, and the temperature of the
globe is distributed in it? present moderate alterna
tions and healthful variety.
Murder and Kobbekv —We learn that on
Saturday morning last, some twelve or thirteen
miles be <>w this place on the Irwinvil e toad, in
Wilcox County, a most brutal murder was commit
ted upon the person cf a foot peddler, whose name
we have not learned Hus pack, and it is supposed,
some eix hundred dollars in money was taken from
his person. Efforts are now being made to ferret
out tbc perpetrators of the offence.
P. S —Since writing the above, we learn that the
name of the pecdler wad Peter Abrema, and that
one of the murdereis has been arrested, who has
confecaed the whole matter. Pa»ties are in pur
suit of the other with good prospects of arresting
him. The names of the perpetrators are Alexander
Gordon and Simuel Noblee, the former of whom is
;u cue ody. Gordon states that t’rey only obtained
seventy four dollars in money, the goods conisted
of ready made clothing, jewelry, Sw.—Pulatki

Washington, Dec. 23.— Senate. —The Senate
held a short eeesion to day, but nothing of impor
tance transpired. Adjourned till Tuesday.
House. —Mr. Fareneaworth, of Illinois, made a
speech, defending ihe Black Republicans, and
attempted to fix on the Sooth the charge of de
siring to re open the slave trade.
Messrs. Miles and Bonham, of South Carolina
Crawford, of Georgia, Moßse, of Mississippi, and
Reagan, of Texas, denied the existence of any
general desire in the South to sustain such a policy,
they would uphold the Constitution and the laws of
the country to the fullest extent.
Mr. Barksdale made a speech, in which he said
that any member who would u r >t carry out the law
for the rendition of fugitive slaves was false to the
Constitution and a traitor to the country.
Upon this, lively times ensued, and questions and
answers flaw thick and fast.
Mr. Farenesworth admitted afterwards, that the
design of reopening the slave trade could not be
fixed upon the South any more than could Brown’s
raid upon Harper's Ferry be fixed upon the Re
publicans.
A vote was then taken for Speaker, 107 being

A Model Planter.
One of the editors o f the Southern Cultivator, in
the number for December, takes note o: Mr. Dick
son's plantation on the old worn out lands of Han
cock, es follows :
Wva j Jvi,v rr q •
During the Fair week. Mr. David Dickson kind
!y drove us out to his plantati n, about tea mi te
from Sparta. When approaching hia p ace, Mr.
Dickeon called our attention to a cotton field, of
land of similar quality to his own. which bad beeu
manured with Peruvian Guano. Tlia land, be
longing to a neighbor, Lad been cultivated with a
scooter plow. Tne weed was good, but it was des
titute of bolls nearthe top, which, of course, much
diminished the yield On arriving at Mr. Dickson's
we went immediately into the cotton field. His
cotton wet fu 1 of boils to the Ve>y top of tea plant
lie assigned as the cause of the difference between
hia cotton and Ira neighbor's, in this particular, the
fact that he had not cut the root* of the Dlan* while
it was growing. In short, the whole c f Mr, Dickin
son's theory, which has wrought out such great re
suits, may he comprised in a nut-shell. Break up
th© land a* deep as possible. Manure as heavily as
possible In cult va! ion, keep surface of the
ground clean and loose, but Lever cut a root of the
growing plant. Mr. D.ckson now breaks his land
seven inches deep wi'h one horse plows. It is his
purpose ogo much deeper with two horse plows.
His cotton and cxriu are w.uked entirely wi.h the
sweep. He works 55 hands, and this year
GUO bales ofcott n, or 11 bale* to the baud. Besides
hia cottoD, he will Lave a surplus of e rnand wheat
for sale
The character of Sand on wb ch this crop is made,
may be inferred from the following statement:
Mr. Dickson’s father was a considerable land
hrlder. At bis death, the Executors determined to
sell, at public outcry, as much of the land a- would
bring one dollar an acre. A portion ot the land
was sold at that price. The rest wh : ch would not
bring a dollar an acre was retained, and this land,
unsaleable at a dollar per acre, we < the nueleus of
Mr. Dicksons landed estate. S >me of this ianu,
sold at a dollar an a< re, he has recently been
offered sls for, and hss refused. This is 15!!0
per cent. What an illustration of our position,
that improved price of land follows improved cul
tivation This sls is much less than the actual
value of the land. Mr. Dickeon, at our request,
mad© an accurate calculation of the cost of working
an acre, producing lIKIU pounds of cotton. Ills
manure cos's him $5 50 —all other cost, $9 50—
tOtaL sls 00. ~© )M>* pounds of seed cotton are
worth, say, S3O —profit sls 00, which is 10 per cen’.
on $l5O, whit . the value of an acre of la <],
producing t ( >0 pounds of eredc .tton. The wh le
vale of the farm must be diminished by the amount
of the dead capital as woodland and old fields, or
less productive crops. It is proper to say that in
the calculation of the cost of cultivating an acre
of land, a negro and horse was put down a’sl 50
a day.
It may be asked ‘‘how does II- Dickson get ma
nure enough f reuch an enoimous breadth of lard
injcultivation 7” Hu slock of cattle consists of 3'Ht
head—sheep, between 200 and 300—hogs, Mill
mules and borfes, 50. The manure from these ani
mals is carefully preserved and applied. Last year
he used $7,000 worth of commercial manures, this
year, $9,000, and his orders for next year, SIO,OOO.
Notwithstanding this heavy outlay, Mr. Dickson
assurred us that, counting the pr- sent value of his
property, Irom the time when he commenced farm
ing to the present moment he had made ‘25 per cent,
peranuum,compound interest. Anting a party of
gentlemen in Hancock. to whom we repeated this
statement, it was suggested that there might be
an error in. the calculation. It so happened that
several of the party were familiar with the amount
of Mr. Dickson’s capital when he commenced and
the amount es now given in, and the calculation
was verified.
Under ordiuary ciroumstancea, this particularity
of detail as to the private affairs of an individual
would be in bad taste and must be unpleasant to
the subject. But emigration is depopulating old
Georgia—her lands have gradually depreciated in
saleable value. Mr. Dickeon has shown U 3 that a
fortune may be made upon them, and in the pro
cess, the land be restored to its original fertility.
The developement of this practical truth is a pub
lic benefaction. The thanks of tae South are due
to this gentleman—and not only to him, but to that
remarkable circle of men in Hancock, ' who, with

Good Advick from a Slave.—A slave named
Greene was bung in St Joseph, Mo., on the 21
inst., for the murder of his master, P. M Wright
IP was a fellow prisoner with the notorious Doy,
and the day before the execution he made a con
fession of the crime. lie said his mu3ter treated him
kindly, and never spoke a cross word to him, and
the only reason he could give for shooting his mas
ter was, that he was told to do so by white, people.
He also said l had never listened to the ad
vice of bad white men 1 xoould not now be confined
in this jail. I would like to eay a word to my
black lrienda, and it is tbia:—l had a good home,
but listening to the advice of bad men lam now
in this jail; and I would advise ail who have good
masters and mistresses, and even those who may
have bad ones, never to liateu to any advice men
may give them advising them to run off, or to do
any injury to the property of their masters or mi?
trees. I took the advice of bad persons, and lam
now to suffer death for listening to them.”
A Beautiful Sentiment.— The following beau
tiful verse contains a sentiment which many of our
readers will recognize in a feeling they have no
doubt experienced, but never known how so touch
ingly to express :
“Oh never breathe a lost one’s name
Wben those who loved that came are nigh •
It pours a lava through the frame
That chokes the breast and tills the eye •
It strains a t hord that yields too much ’
Os piercing anguish in its breath,
And hands of mercy should not touch
A string made eloquent by death l“

COTTON.—The market to-day was quiet, with a fair
demand for good Cottons, at unchanged prices. Sates

CHARLESTON, Dec 23.—[Courier.]— Co«on-Gcod
Middlings, at the close of our last report, was quoted at
10, a iOjlc The demand was renewed at the opening of
the week under review, and the transactions, durieg
tbe tw r o first days, reached upiwards of 4810 bales.
The sales, particularly those of Saturday, established
an advance of £c. The demand, however, fell off on
Monday. Some 16CD bales only were sold, and the im
provement was with difficulty sustained. Holders were
free sellers on 3 uesday, and the change, if any—for
there was much diversity of opinion—inclined in favor
of the purchaser; but the opeiations of Wednesday
fully sustained the advance noticed above. The market
opened on Thursday with a moderately fair demand,
and buyers weie preg-essing tu tbe execution of their
orders, having purchased to the exte t of abtut 1000
bales, when the new s by the Asia, which reached us
about noon, may be said to have put a.‘ top to business.
What effect these advices will have upon the market,
remains to be seen : one tact, however, was well est%b
--1 shed yesterday —the market having closed at the full
advance realized by holders : n the first part of the week.
The receipts since our last reach some 16 736 bales, and
the sales iu the same time 11,813 bales. We quote Low
to Strict Middling lOi'SUC}; Good Middling 10}, and
Middling Fair lljlillii.
Hice —There has been a very fair demand for this ar
tide, at s3l®3} jP" hundred,
Hay —The receipts s ice our last reach some 1500
bales North River, part of winch has bec-u sold as fol
lows, viz: £OO at $1,12}, and 310 bales at $1.15. The
balance is held for higher prices.
Flour —This article attracts very litt'e attention at
present. The receipts have again become rather liberal,
and the stack is rlightly on the iucrease. Superfine
$6 75 ®7.00.
Rucoa—Th's article hes been very much neglected,
ana the market throughout the week presented a lan
guid end dri,oping appearance. Sides have been selling
for 10} to lie ; the latter figure, however, has now be
come an extreme rate. Shoulders are dull at Sand 8}
cents.
Sail —There have been no arrivals since oar last.
The art.cie is selling in lots to suit purchasers at $1.50
s -.ek.
Groceries. —The market is entirely bare of S' gar and
Molasses, and we have never known the stocks s.» com
pletely exhausted as they are at present, and there is
literally none in first bauds. Several vessels, however,
are t-n the way with the Louisiana crop, and the market
in a few days will, doubtless, be supplied from this
quarter. Some 700 bags Kio Coffee, of coastwiro wn
p irta'ion, have been selling at prices ranging born 11}
to 12}c.
Exchanges —The market f r Foreign Exchanges con
tinues to present a decidedly languid and (Looping ap
pearance. 'The market, which opened ate} for Sterling
11 ills, closed jester ay at a premium if e}®B}. We
quote Franc - 5 83} ®5 80. We have no change to aot.ee
