Doubtflil. “Escape of Slaves —Powerful secret influ ences are at work from some quarter, by which slaves are induced to abandon their masters, and seek a more perfect freedom, at least in their estimation, than that which is now their lot. With this self-emancipation will come the ne cessity of assuming responsibilities unknown to tho servile condition, and of creating resources which to the slave are furnished by the master. Some of the runaways adapt themselves to their new condition. Many find themselves unequal to it, and degenerate into paupers. The idea most of them attach to liberty is that of freedom from having any thing to do.” Tiie above paragraph is from the correspon dence of the New Y’ork Commercial Advertiser.

[for the southern MUSEUM.j “Ilo*»c, Fancy and memory.” Hope sheds a brilliancy over the path of futu rity. She cheers the soul in adversity, com mands it to forget the present and look for better times. She bids the inexperienced youth look forward, and behold the pleasures of manhood. But when he reaches that stage in life, lie is dis appointed ; for Hope does not always I’ulfil her promises. She consoles the desponding spirit of the Old Man, whose locks have been w hiten ed by the blasts of many winters, and tells him of joys to be experienced beyond the grave. She bids him be calm, and promises that he shall ere Jong enjoy the pleasure of a blissful world. Fuucj lends her aid to Hope, and adds new lustre to her promises. But although it is nat ural for man to believe the predictions of Hope, and to expect that he will realize the teachings of Fancy, the memory of the past ever affords hitn pleasurable delight. “ When time who steals our years away, Shall steal our pleasures too, The memory of tho past will stay And half our joys renew"— Moore. Hope shines as a brilliant star amid the clouds which overhang the future. Fancy there, also, sheds a dazzling light, and pictures to the mind glories which never con be obtained. Mortals in their career, steer their fragile harks across tile troubled sea of life, guided by these glaring meteors. But when amid the raging billows, tossed to and fro by the winds of time, they look back at the star of memory, all seems secure and beautiful. Then the mind becomes filled with the joys of the past, and would, were i* able, leap across the abyss of passed vfears, aim enjoy those pleasures which are so indelibly stamped upon it. “ While future hope and f-j a r alike unknown, I think with pleasure on the past alone ; Yes, to the past alone my heart confine And thnse the phantom of what once was mine.” Byron. Memory brings to the mind its most pleasant recollections. It brings the recollections of times pleasantly spent, of joys for ever passed. The youth, while he looks forward with fond anticipations to a future period in life, little thinks that, at that period his mind will deligld to dwell on the memory of his youthful days. He recollected with pleasing emotions the scenes of his childhood, but relying on the infirm prom ises of Hope, and believing Fancy’s paintings to be true, be expects more lasting joys in after life. But let him ask the hoary headed sire hi s experience. He will tell him, that his enjoy, nients have diminished ns his age has increased, that, his earliest years were those most freed from cares and anxieties, and in reality ilie most pleasant of his life. lie will also tell him, that Hope is a delusion, and that it brings not half the sweets that are garnered lip in the cells of memory. The pleasures of Memory are lasting : they never vanish Through all the varied scenes of life, the mind is pleased with early recollections of friends and scenes forever dead. Memory is the soul’s chief delight. It is the reality of the past. “ Hope's summer visions die.” “ Fancy’s fairy frost work melts away." But memory’s impression is too deeply graven upon the mind to be ever effaced. “Sweet memory, wafted by thy gentle gale, Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail. From (Ace sweet Hope her airy colorings draws, And Fancy’s flights are subject to thy laws.” LAUDATOR TEMPOULS ACTI. Macon, Georgia. [communicated. ] Mr. Editor: —From testimony of high author ity, the evil habits of using snuffs, morphine, opium, and other narcotic drugs are on the in crease to an alarming extent. It is presumed, therefore, you cannot better serve the interest of humanity than to give publicity to the following extract from one of our Medical Journals. ‘‘Ah Increasing Evil. ” “Within a few years past, the btisinessof vending snuffs, morphine, opium, &c., has great ly increased. Not so much to the medical fra ternity us from the intemperate use of them by individuals in private circles. Tobacco is chew ed or smoked, because it produces an anodyne stimulating effect for one or two hours, and then like brandy or w ine, it must again be repeated to appease the individual. So, also, is the effect of swabbing the teeth with snuff, as any thing short of its narcotic influence would disgust rather than allay such morbid sensibilities. However filthy and pernicious the use of tobac coinany way may be, yet it falls far short of the more fatal narcotic, opium or morphine ; greater even, than the common curse of man kind, alcohol, in some form. When fully initi ated into the sottish habit of using opium or any of its preparations, five years and often much less time will generally end such a career. In the Ottoman Empire where opium is produced and against the use of which the several edicts have been passed,it proves fatal in a much short er lime. To be noble is to be virtuous by which our faculties are developed and perpetuated accord ing to the natural instincts. To prevent them is to degenerate, for it is the acquired and not the natural appetite that demands the opiate, or the quaffing of diluted alcohol to gratify that which can’t be done long at a time.” S. Indians in Canada. —A telegraphic dispatch dated at Detroit on the 17th ult., says that in telligence just received there from the Sault, gives account ot" a great exciteVnent there, in consequence of a threatened collision between the Indiansand miners. It appears that the an. thorities of Canada have refused or neglected to compensate the Indians for the land now in possession of the Quebec Mining Company, the authorities having made themselves responsible for the payment of the money. The Indians had stolen three cannon, and, numbering about 200 men, among whom aro thirty white men, wore on their march to tho works for the pur pose of attacking the operatives and taking pos session of tiieir property by force. The most serious consequences are apprehended, as the Indians are well armed. Baden Emigration. —Tho Baden Govern ment intends to make use of voluntary emigra tion as a means to get rid of tho revolutionary elements in the country. For this purpose it will assist, it is said, out of the public treasury, those who aro not able to defray their own ex penses. If this be the case, and the policy is pursued, (he government of Baden had better adjourn to the territories of "Uncle Sam” ri masse | Later from Haiti. —Captain Tikiob, of the schooner Dorcas, from Jacumol, Nov. 1, informs the New York Herald that all is quiet in the Emperor's dominions, and that the Emperor was cheerfully arranging the nobility, making some Lords, some Dukes, &.c. lie further states that the people were much pleased, and laughed at what they called the Emperor’s folly. Cap?. T. says that there is plenty of coffee to be had there. Lake Trade. — Some idea of the character and value of the Lake trade, which is only one of the agricultural outlets to the market of the world, may be formed from a paragraph in the Buffalo Commercial, of the 6th tilt., which states that on the evening prev ions, 15 steamers, 2 propellers, 2 brigs and 21 schooners, had ar rived in that port, bringing 160,000 barrels of flour, 49,000 bushels of wheat, 800 live hogs, 2,500 boxes of cheese, and large quantities of other produce. This is something for one day. It is also noticed that the propeller Illinois, at the same time, was on her way down with 4,- 445 barrels of flour, and 2,113 bushels of wheat, equal to 580 tons of merchandise; and the steamer Empire Slate was on her way down, with 7,ooobarrels of flour, said to be the largest cargo ever brought by one vessel. Blunders of Postmasters.— The Augusta (Me.) Age recently received one of its western , exchanges, which had been traveling about be tween Chicago, Augusta, Ga., and Augusta, Me., forseveral months. One philanthropic in dividual luid w-ritten out the Maine in full, for the accommodation of thoge out West who might suppose the abbreviation stood for Mis souri or Mississippi. Another postmaster added “Don’t send this back to Illinois again.” Anoth er, in the hope of facilitating its progress, put on “Away down Eastwhile still another, out of all patience at seeing the thing come back so often, put it through with '•’■Maine, you fool, Maine! ’ The Bitf.r Bit. —Some time since a resolu tion was introduced into the Lower House of the Legislature of Tennessee to protect the pro perty of married ladies. While the resolution was under discussion, Mr. Moody of Dixon, moved to amend it by requiring tho ladies to wear the breeches half the time. In the pro. eeedings of the House on the 7th inst. is the fol lowing : “The Speaker announced that he found upon his table a bundle labelled ‘important docu ments,’ which lie was requested to lay before the House. Upon taking off’ the wrapper, the 'important documents’ proved to ho a crimson petticoat for the Representative from Dixon— Moody.” Some of our grave legislators who oppose the passage of the celebrated Woman’s Bill in the Georgia Legislature, had better be careful how they make insinuations, or they may receive a similar billet doux to that presented to Mr. Pet ticoat-Moody. One Vote. — The New York Day Book says one single vote sent Oliver Cromwell to the I long Parliament, Charles Stuart to the scaffold, revolutionized England and made Great Britain free. Four votes in the city of New Y’ork, made Thomas Jefferson President of the United States ; one vote gave us the taritF of 1842, and one vote made the tariff 1846. One vote gave us Texas ; made war with Mexico, slew thou sands of our people and purchased California, turned thither the tide of emigration, and will change the destiny of tho world. The N. Or leans Crescent says one vote sent Mr. F. B. j Conrad, of Jefferson, to the (Louisiana House 1 of Representatives of 1848, undone vote keeps i him out of the Louisiana Senate for 1850.
