The Dutchman and his Thousand Dol
lar Bill.— Away back in the State of
New York li'-esa Dutch farmer, well t)
do in the world, who always keeps a thou
sand dollar bill. With this bill in his
pocket, and a shabby coat on his back, he
prides himself on playing tricks with
strangers—particularly such country mer
chants as have commenced business in
the neighborhood, and are not acquainted
with his pecuniary circumstances
As an instance of this ki id lie went late
ly to a new merchant, with his clothes all
in rags, his toes sticking out through his
shoes, his hat without a crown, and his
beard a fortnight old, and ordered a few
dollars worth of goods. The merchant
stared at him,but astherecould be no great
hazard in laying out the articles for him,
none of which were to be cut, he executed
the command. When the goods were
ready, the merchant stared still more to
hear his scurvy looking customer ask him
to charge them.
•Charge them!’ exclairmd the man of
merchandize—ha, ha, ha! we're not in the
habit of charging our goods to every bo
dy. We keep a sharp look out for break
ers.'
* ‘Won’t you charge 'em den?'
‘Not to you, 1 thank you You must
have a better coaton your back to expect
credit fro r. us.’
‘Deu if you won’t charge ’em,’ said the
Dutchman with great moderation, ‘1 must
dry and bay you for'em down, if so be,
snpposin I can muster money enough.’
Then taking a thousand dollar bill from
his pocket, he extended it to the merchant
with a sly leer on his face, and said, wi.l
you change dat?’
‘That—what!—a thousand dollar bill I
Is it possible that— a man of your appear
ance ’
•Wat, Misther, he’s you sear’t, ha? Did
you nefer have seen a tousand dollar bill
afore?’
'A m m of your appearance,’ continued
the. merchant, in his astonishment, with a
thousand dollar bill. I could have sworn,
‘None of your tam’dt shwe.irin’ here, if
you please, Misther—but give me my
change dat I maybe off to mine farm a
gain ’
‘Off to your farm? A thousand dollar
bill! Who are you, if I may be sp bold?’
•Who be’s 1? Why don’t you know
your own neighbors, man. My name is
Fritz Van Vogler; a poor farmer, mit no
more as one tousand acres of landt, and
dis small bill in mine pocket, dat was; so if
you’ll change it, and let me be gone I’ll
dank you.’
‘Change it? Lord, sir! where should 1
get money, of a morning, to change a
thousand dollar bill?’
‘Deu wat shall 1 do misther? You
wont drustme, nor you wont change mine
tousand dollar bill?’
‘Trust you! Mr. Van Vogler—that I
will, to the amount of a thousand dollars if
you wish. You did’nt suppose 1 was a-
I raid to trust you, did you? said the mer
chant, growing very complais mt.
•Haw, haw, haw!’ roared the Dutchman
as loud as he could laugh— ‘you begins to
haul in your horns a l< tt!e, does you?
Shrange wat wonders a small tousand dol
lar bill will work in a man s goot opinion!
So you will drast me now will you?’
‘Certainly, certainly, sir.’
‘No, I’ll be dam’cit if you shall—if so be
supposin 1 can find siller until in rny buck
et to bay you.’ As he said this, the
Dutchman hauled out an old stocking full
of dollars, paid for the goods, and giving
another haw, haw, haw! at the astonish
ment and sudden changeofopinion ofthe
merchant, departed.—A’eic York Trans

A YANKEE TRICK.
An Illinois paper says:—An itinerant
Yankee passed through this village a day
or two since, and spent a night with us.
' He put up handbi Is as soon as lie arrived
announcing a theatrical entertainment.—a
farce in one act, “The Cat let out of the
Bag,” t &c. in the usual manner of such
things. When the time arrived, the house
(Snow’s Ball Room,) was crowded—but
nobody appeared on the stage for some
time. At last a shrill whistle was heard
—then a Jews harp—then a villainous
three stringed fiddle—and finally, a plain
dressed, awkward looking chap, entered
with a very deliberate step, having a hag
thrown over nis shoulders. The audi
ence rose all a tiptoe with expectation. He
seated himself with a bag between his
legs—began to untie, it—held the top with
his hands, the audience gathered nearer
and nearer—Now! he cried—clapping
his hands; Scat! and lo! out sprung a furi
ous Tom Cat,pell rnell among the hats and
bonnets. Such a scene of confusion ! some
aimed for the windows; some for the doors
some screamed: some cursed and swore
and more laughed. At length they
were calmed; but the curtain was drop
ped; an epilogue was spoken: “Ladies
and gentlemen,” said the manager, “the
farce is over; we thank you.” He was
interrupted by huzzas and hisses.
The whole room was in an uproar
many were angry; but more delighted at
the ftrJbw’e impudence—and Borne even
I went so far as to call for it again. Ihe j
swearers were for tearing him to pc-ictS,
but the laughers were more numerous and
carried the day.
Distinction in Society—By rn act ol
the Legisl.d r<- of this State, passed on the
27tli 1 ay ol J no iv, 1785, it was provi
ded, “That the President, Professors,
Tutors and Students, and all officers and
servants of the University whose office
required their constant attendance, shall
be, and they are hereby excused from mil
itary duty and from all such like d dies
and services.”
At the session of 1814, during the la'e
war, Mr. Tankersley of Columbia intro
duced a Bill to repeal the above section,
I from an hon< st conviction, that young men
I whose father’s were able to send them to
1 College, wire as much bound io stand a
i draft and fight foi their countiy, as the
poorer class who remained at home and
worked for their living.
On the passage of the Bill, Col. Gam
ble vot< d against it, and his vote st .nds
; recorded at page 2-1 of the Journal of t .e
House for 1814
Need we make any commei t upon this
vote? Is there an honest industri ius poor
man in Georgia, who can tolerate the
principle or who will support a man who
has voted to extempt the rich from the pub
lic service—while the poor are left, to
fight the battles of th -ir country?
In a republican government, there
should be no distinction in Society; but the
rich arid the poor should stai d upon an
equal footing, and the same duties should
be required of a l.
Col. Gamble did not think so, and al
though his vote was given a long lime
since, it conu s much both r an'h< nticated,
than the vision of Judge Schley’s federal
ism. Itstmds upon the record, and can
not be denied
Was it a republican vote? No! it was
federalism and worse. It wrs downright
aristocracy.— Standard of Union.
Tie Southern Recorder.— The Recor
der seems to be a little out of sorts, be
cause we did not publish the whole of
Col. Gamble’s 1 tier to Judge Svhlev,
when in publishing as much as we did,
we have done much more than Cid Gam
ble himself expected ; for ho strongly in
timates in bis letter which has been pub
lished entire, that one which he had writ
ten to Judge Schley would never see the
light. Will the Recorder deny, that
the part which we have published of C<>l.
Gamble’s letter is not a genuine copy? or
will they admit that the part not publish
ed, contradicts that which we hud given to
the public? If the part published is a
fair quotation, and that withheld contra
dicts it, then a question arises which
might involve the candor of Col. Gamble,
and that, we know, would be a most
grievous task for the Recorder.
But they ask us to tell all we know a
bout General Beall s resolution, about
which we talk soloud'y.
We will do it. Pending the discuss
ion of the bill to survey and distribute the
Cherokee Territory, in 1830, General
Beall offered the following amendment:
“ And, be it further enacted. That noth
ing in this act contained, shall be so con
strued, as to authorise the Governor to or
der the Surveyors to proceed with the sur
vey as contemplated by this act, until he
shall be satisfactorily informed bv the
President of the United States, that the
public force of the United St ites will not
be employed to prevent said survey and
occupancy:”
and after a brief discussion, the ye.- s and
nays were required, and were yeas 6,
nays 117. Ai dso it stands recorded at
page 243 of the Journal of the House for
1830.
This is the mos’ we know about it, that
the amendment wr.s offered without anv
previous knowledge on our part. We had
no previous consultation, and were utterly
astonished at the principles it contained.
We know moreover that General Beall
i and Judge Dougherty, both voted for it.
| Butsuppose we knew a thousand things
about it. i.oes that change the principl. s of
the proposition, or make their vote in ns
favor, a republican vote? Suppose we
had offered it ourself, would it be less ob
noxious on that account? No! the tiling
must speak for itself—it is a recorded act,
and cann >t be changed.
I r I lie Recorder says we know full well
that it has been answered over and overa-
■ B ain ..
If it has been answered once, we have
j never seen it.and if they have answered it
or seen it answered over and over again,
the arguments must be so familiar to them
that it wilf not cost them trouble to do it
once more.
We feel a great desire to sec what sort
ofdefence can be set up by a‘State Rights,’
Journal, for such a total abandonment of
State Sovereignty, and by what form of
plea they will attempt to justify it upon re
publican principles.
We again ask for the defence!— lbid
Col. Gamble, vs. Mr. Van Buren.—
Col. Gamble in his letter to the Chairman
ot the S. R. Committee, says, the friends
of Mr. Van Buren never have claimed for
him, the qualities of candor and political
honesty.
In 1832, Col. Gamble was the chair
man of a public meeting in Louisville, at
which the following ''Resolution was
tinanin. ously adopted.
“ Resolved, That it is expedient, that
Georgia should be represented in the
Convention proposed to be held in BAL
TIMORE in May, andtha* we concur in
the wish expressed in various parts ofthe
Stite, that our Senators and Representa
tives in C> ngress do rep esent ns in said
Convention.”
When this resolution was passed, Col. j
Gamble km w, and so d d every politician ;
in Georgia, that the main object of that 1
convention was, to obtain for Mr. Van ;
Buren, the nomination for Via#- President. '
He obtained it—Col. Gamble supported
him, and now says, his friends never
claimed for him the qualities of cat,dor
and political honesty.

A Set off against Bob Short's Maxims.
—The other day, as a friend and the pro
prietor of this paper were stepping out ol
the door of one of our worthy neighbors,
we were accosted by a busy little gen
t’empn, who, by the by, is a viohnt oppo
ser of Judge Schley, with Bob Short > pa
per, (alias the State Rights Sentinel) in
his hand. He observed that there was
some excellent Maxims in it, and insisted
upon ns to lis’en to them—we told him we
had seen them —he still persisttd, and
commenced reading—the first Maxim
was ns follows
“ Never name a child after a federalist
in a republican State: people may think
you like federalism, or hate your child.”
Unfortunately, for him, he named a
child, some five or six yeais since, after
ARTHUR TAPPAN. The proprie
tor, accidentally, and with his usual good
humor, observed, that that was indeed an
excellent Maxim, and reminded him of
his having named HIS child after Arthur
Tappan, and that the people of Georgia,
might, with the same degree of propriety,
make the Maxim suit his case, ai d pro
nounce him an Abolitionist.
’Tis needless to say that tie got very
angry, for th*- moment, for which we
..ere very sorry, as we do not believe he
is any more of an Abolitionist than we do
that judge Schley is a Federalist.—Stan
dard of Union.
We are gratified to learn, that under
the provisional arrangement made by the
Commit ee of the Stockholders of the
Bank of Charleston.now at the North,sub
ject to the ratification of the Directors vs
this Bank to be elided in November
next, the current and suspended debts dur
to the Branch in South Carolina, have
been purchased by the newßank and that
these debts will be gradually wound up
through the intervention ofthe new insti
tution, without creating the smallest pres
sure in the money market here.
We moreover leain, that the conduct
of Mr. Biddle and the Committee cl toe
Directors of the Parent Board, was mark
ed by a iiberalify and considerate regard
for tlie financial interests ofthe communi
ty which entitle him and them to qur
acknowledgements. ’
The Bank ol Charleston has not only
taken the debts of the Branch, but has
purchased iisßankiug House on the most
advantageous terms.
The. newßank will therefore commence
in full capacity its operations, on the se
' cond Monday in Uct*>l.er,with all the ad
j vantages of an old institution, ai d be pla
ced at once in the course of realizing
I successfully profits for i s Stockholders,
j whilst we learn that the Committee at the
I North are making extensive arrange
| meats to enable theßank to do a large for
ii_n and domestic exchange,by which am
pie means will be afioided to the mer
chants of this market, to purchase our sta
ples under the best facilities of trade.—

Tie 81000 I'rcmiuni.— As inquiries
have been repeatedly and are still contin
ually made respecting the Premium of
: One Thousand Dollars, to be awarded by

death of H< n. 'l'. S. Grim Le.
The committee now consist of Ex Pres- ■
ideat Adams, Hon. Chancellor Kent,
and Hon. Daniel Webster.
About forty Disseitations have been!
written. The Report of the Society, stales
tin- number in the hands ofthe committee
to be thirty-seven. One was withdrawn,
making thirty eight, and another has b. en
at least skeiche : by an able writer in one
of our neighboring tow ns ; ; nd is we hope,
ere this finished and in possession of th
committee. Many of the Dissertations, if
printed, would form a large octavo vol-
I ume. One of them, written in elegant
I Latin, is sent from Rio. de Janeiro.
The Dissertations were so nunieroms
■ and so voluminous, it was (■ und mcessary
to appoint a sub committee for their pre-;
v.ous examination,and this sub committee,
named Ly the Board of Directors, liavesc
leclid, seven ofthe Dissertations to be
presented separately to the committee first
named.—The Dissertations are now in
the hands of Mr. Adams.
Bon Mol of Mr. Adrien.— One day Mr
Adrien after having exhibited some of his
miraculous and almost incredible feats,
turned round to a lady and said, “Madam
if you wi 1 do me the honor to lend me
yourcap.l will see if I cannot put Montre
al i* to it.” A friend of Mr. A’s. hearing
this, exclaimed, “Monsetir Adrien, though
you area d—delever fellow, in this in
stance itw ill only expose vour incapacity.’
“That is just wha I wish to do,” replied
the magician, “I wish to manifest in cap
a city.”— Montreal Herald.

PARTNERSHIPS.
The Constitutionalist has associated Mr.
Samuel M. Thompson and the Chronicle Mr.
Wm. F. Pemberton with their respective des
tinies.
We received ibis morning, from the author,
his Address before the two Societies at Athens
during the last commencement. From the tal
ents of Mr. Chandler and the encomiums paid
tins effort of his eloquence, we promise our
selves a treat in perusing it.
The Nuliifiers are determined to bring Gen
eral Flournoy before the voters of Richmond,
whether t not. The General has already re
spectfully declined their solicitation; but, be
cause the Sentinel says, that the General will
feel it his duty to serve if elected, he must be
urged forward, we are sure, against his own
inclinaii.m, in direct opposition to his political
friends. The General could not well have de
clined the honors his political op onents are
reluctantly compelled to tender him, with more
decision than he has done. With thatthej’ are
r.o satisfied. Because, in answer to their con
tinned applications, he says, like anv good citi
zen, he will serve them if elected, this modest
reluctance to be thrust forward for an office he
is not seeking, they immediately construe into a
consent to be a candidate. That is “ enough
for us,” says the Sentinel. We will, of the
two evils, choose the least—vote for General
Flournoy rather than General Walker! It
such a compliment does not remind the Gener
al, it does us, ofthe old story about the chest
nuts in the fire, when a pair of tongs was not
at hand. We will not for a moment liken the
General to the unfortunate cat, or our oppo
nents to the monkey; but such things will cross
a man’s brain, often as unwillingly as the Gen
eral is thrust before the voters for a purpose,
in which he has no interest. We believe—we
are sure he does not desire such a use of his
name; but he must feel a delicacy in saying
that he will not be voted for. We hope, under
the circumstances, the affair will not cool the
admiration of his political friends, who are both
able and willing to give him political station
worthy of his talents and character. We do
not believe the array of respectable names on
the petition to the General has deceived him.
If they are examined closely, several facts
might appear which might be calculated to les
sen the impression of their influence in the elec
tion. If every man on it votes against the
Union ticket, it will not vary the result of last
year one dozen voles. Besides several, who,
we are told, are not of age to vote, and several
who on signing, disclaimed any pledge to vote
in that way, we are instructed 'osay, that 53 of
the 80 odd names on the petition voted last year
against the whole Union ticket —not that they
are not Union men; but because they viewed
Mr. Mealing, Mr. Jenkins, and Dr. lUalkcr as
Anti-Nullifiers. Ofthe approximation of this
statement to the truth we are ourselves certain.
What hope of success, then, have the Nuliifiers?
They are endeavoring with our own men, to
split the party. This is their only hope, from
White down to the lowest grade of candidacy.
We hope the public will see ar-.d appreciate
their motives as they deserve.
A correspondent notices our commendation
of the “ Georgia Scenes,” <pc. and criticises
some alterations and additions made in them
since their first publication. He instances
the Gander Pulling, which is disfigured, he
says, by a long dull article about the Union
Democratic Republican Party, &c., which was
notin existence by that name when the essay
was first published. This was not a very legit
imate subject for the “first half century ofthe
republic”—it was out of that epoch. But if
there is anv genuine humor in it, we can for
give it, and laugh as heartily one way as ano
ther, if there is any thing really good to laugh
at. Our motto is, Laugh, ichenwe may —cry when
we must.
A letter is published in the London Morning
Herald of the Ist of August, giving the particu
lars of the seizure of a Spanish vessel at Gib
taltar, suspected of being a slaver. Great
quantities of powder, arms, and hackles for
securing the slaves were found on board. It is
positively stated that Gibraltar has been for
some years a depot for slave traders.
An aged Baptist.— We are informed, says
the Boston Journal, that at ihe special request
of Joice Heith, the 161 years old woman, reli
gious services were performed at Concert Hall
on Sunday afternoon, by the Rev. Mr. Hague,
pastor of the Ist Baptist Church in Boston.
Joice aas been (as the Church Record in Vir
ginia proves) a member of the Baptist Church
116 years! She appeared to take a lively inter
•est in the ceremonies, and during their perfor
mance she sung two antique hymns, anti lined
them, as she did, and as was the custom, more
than a century ago.
Mr. Editor :
What is the use of talking about White and
Van Buren in our elections for the State Leg
islature'! Do, if you please, vote with that
reference for members of Congress; for if the
intrigues of the Nullifieis, and the folly of
those now acting with them, should succeed in
preventing the election of Pi esident by the peo
ple, those men now to be elected, may have a
voice in that matter in the House of Represen-
tatives, before whom the question mnst be car
ried. But what has the Senator of Richmond
Count}-, or its Representatives, now to be chosen,
to do in making a President oftheUnited States?
Another election after the approaching one
next week must intervene before the choice of
presidential electors. It is in the selection of
these last alone, that question can be properly
considered. It is time enough for that purpose,
more than a year hence. We will then discuss
that point, and whether the people are for one
or the other ofthe present candidates, we ought
to be satisfied. It is their business to choose
their rulers, and I, for one, shall acquiesce in
the selection they make, whether it accords
with my present predilections or not. I shall
then give my own unbiassed vote lor the men
that I think will choose him, most nearly iden
tified wilh my principles, and whom I shall
consider, most able to carry them out into the
appropriate measures. I pray you to drop the
present slang about White and Buren men,
and insist on people’s adopting some rule of
relevant sense to give their suffrages for mem
bers of the State Legislature. To show you,
that I shall practice what I preach, I shall my
self vote for a While man on the Representa
tive ticket. Whom the others are for, on either
ticket, I know not, nor care not; but I would
not vote for an open nnilifier, or a concealed
one under the name of State Rights man, not
if he were my twin brother.
A UNION MAN.
Mr. Editor:
Never did a remark so completely hit the
nail on the head, as that of one of your corres
pondents in your last paper: The agitators in
adversity are State Rights men, but rank nul
iifiers in prosperity. When the wind is adverse
to their course, they yield to it with the meek
ness of old Job, but not with his sincerity.
They wear the face of the hypocrite, which is
easily changed by any change in the wind.
Put two or three of these Stale Rights men into
office by mistaking them for what they are not,
and the whole fraternity are in instant extacy
—nullification :is going ahead—the cause is
progressing—smiles light up the gl omy coun
tenance of despair—bonfires are kindled—can
nons roar, and the punch-bowl maddens the
shout of political triumph. You have likened
this faction to various others in history and to
certain characters of the present day, .vho are
not very particular in the means they use to
accomplish their objects. A nnilifier looks to
me in politics like the infidel in religion. They
hold similar relations to society—they are in
some measure outcasts from the good feelings
of the community—partake but little of the
kind offices of public sympathy. They appear
alike disposed to blm the beauty and disturb
the order, which distinguish the master-works
of both Nature and Man. And as’if each were
conscious of similar evil intentions, the same
proud exultation maiks their prosperity—the
same gloomy despair the decline of their for
tunes. What more abject wretch, than the in
fidel on the bed of sickness! Raise him again
’o health—send him into the world where the
light revives his joys and the balmy air of hea
ven strings anew his nerves, his ungrateful
heart swells again with rebellion, and proudlj’
dares the Almighty hand that smote him. Both
characters are alike ungrateful for the benefits
they enjoy and are ambitiously raising their
narrow views above the wisdom and benevo
lence of God and their Country.
PHILO-CAUTION.

BEWARE OF SWINDLERS!
There appears to be a ehap in Philadelphia,
by the name of Wm. Woody, alias D. W. Cook,
alias Henry Overton, with some dozen more
aliases, no recollected, who is making quite a
competencj’ by writing to almost eveiy person
that advertises a runaway negro, that he has
seen said slave in Philadelphia, that he can de
coy him off to Delaware City, where he will
secure him and bring him home to his owner;
but generally closes his communications with
a request to send him some fifteen to fifty dol
lars (generally fitting the amount to the reward
offered) for the purpose of i ewarding some free
negro for decoying said slave to Delaware City.
In seY’eral instances, 1 am told, this rascal has
succeeded in extracting money from the owners
of runaway negroes, and in one case, a gentle
man in Aikin was at the expense and trouble
of making a journey to Philadelphia, where he
could find neither of the parties; but on his re
turn home, found his boy, who had reached it
perhaps the day after he had left for Philadel
phia. These letters are all in the same hand
writing, but with different signatures. The de
scriptions which ht gives of the slaves corres
pond generally with that which is contained
in the advertisements, very aptly making some
slight variation, so asto escape suspicion. The
writer of these letters has never yet been found,
but a gentleman of this place has taken steps to
have him caught and hopes to succeed.
This communication is intended as a friendly
caution to the owners of runaway slaves, to be
on their guard, and it is hoped that all Editors
in the slave-holding States will give it a notice,
in order that this rascal, whoever he is, may be
detected in hisswindling operations. A. B.

THE TOMATO.
Col. Webb: In vour valuable paper, I
met this morningthe remarks of Dr, Ben
net of Ohio, from the Albany Ev’g Journ
al, respecting the excellent medicinal qual
ities ol the Solanum Lycopcrsiciim. But
besides these invaluable medicinal proper*
ties which the Doctor enumerates of this
admirable plant it actually contains ano
therin relation to the arts, perhaps equal
ly rema rable: J allude to the juice of the
vine of this vegetable, which contains a
most superbinnate green.colouring; which
I have known used as a dye, and may be
made of all the Y’arious shades of green,
from the dark to the light pale green; and
when mixed with other colours, forms the
strongest basis, in my opinion, of any oth
er vegitable. Now is the proper season
fore xpressing the juice.

There is much force in the moral of this
old fable:
“ A man had the choice of committing
the least of three offences—murder, rob
bery, or drunkenness. He chose the btteF,
got drunk, and then committed the otht r
two.”

OOLD MACHINERY.
THE undersigned, having purchased the
one half of Bosworth's Patent for extract
ing Gold from the ores, as well as deposites—
now offer the right of using said machine, to
those interested in the Gold Regions of the U
nited States. The operation ofthe Machine is
Stamping, Amalgamating, and Precipitating.—
The process of Amalgamating is entirely new,
being effected upon an inclined surface of Sil
ver Pla*e; upon which, as latge an Amalga
mating Surface can be kept up by the use of
one pound of Quicksilver, as by the use of se
ven hundred pounds in the Tyrolese Bowls.—
A Machine, upon the above principle, is now in
operation at the Rappahannock Mine, ten miles
from Fredericksburg, under the superintend
ence of Mr. John Wellington, who has kindly
con-ented to give information of its merits to
those who wish topurchase.
Apply to the undersigned at Fredericksburg,
Va., or to Judah Dobson, of Philadelphia, who
are now the sole proprietors and vendors of the
right. BENJ. N- BARNETT,
