BY MAJOR JOSEPH JONES. Bill Pipkin hadn’t been married very long, und hadn't quite got out of the habit of takin little punch drinkin frolicks with his old friends on perticler occa sions. He was fust rate at making excuses for staying out at nights now and then —he was terribly pressed with bisness, and as he tuck monstrous good cure to never cum home cross-legged, his wife never ,p 'cted nothin, and all went on fust rate. One night bill got rayther more’n he could carry straight, but he didn’t find it out till he waa on his way home. He wouldn't have Susan know he waa in sich a sitewation not for all the world, and ho begun thlnkin, as well as he could with his head spluuin round so, whut was beat to be done to keep her from Hading him out. "Hie—I—I’ve got it ’zactly,” sea he—Ilic, Su-su-Su san knows I'm (hie) terrible f-f-fond of m-tn-railk WelU’ll jest take a big (hie) swig of m-m milk, and (hie) $at 11 hx it all right—so (hie) sh-she’U never sus- cuspect nothin poor gall." Home ho went, praetisin strait wnlkln all the wav and studdyin over in hia mind how he would talk strait, so Susan wouldn't find him out. When he found the latch, which was on the wrong side of the door, what opened the wrong way too, he felt around in the dark lor moro doors thau was ever in the house before, and got into so many curious shaped rooms, till he found the pantry wliar he spet ted to find some milk. He didn't hnve no vrrv clear idee as to wliar it ought to be ; so, after feelhi about in every place butthoriglitono, he cum to the conclu sion to go up to his room and ax his wife whiir it was. The stairs seemed to be turned up side down, and tlie bedroom was changed places with the cellar-kitchen but he made outatlurt to find the door. Aftercleariughio throat and eayin over bis speech so he wouldn’t make no mistake, he opened the door, and tuck a lean agin the door-post and listened to hear it his wile was wake. She was sound asleep. “ Busan I Susan I” sea he, very low and plain. “ Eh!" ses Susan, jest vvokin out of a dose ; thal ypu come home, my deal, so late—I " “Susan. Susan !”ses bill, not payln no attention to what she said, hiahedbein full of the milk—“Susan ! “ What, my dear i" “Is tlicruny m-i-l-k in the house ?" “ Ves, dear—but what ill the world " “Susan, Susan 1" “ What dear 1" “ Wharfs tlie milk 1" “ Iu the pantry in the dinln rocm, dear. But vou better come.to bed now, it’s so " Bill didn't wait for her to say late, but without savin a word tuck some terrible long steps in the dark. He found the din.n room and tho pantry ngin, but lie couldn’t find no milk any wbar. Afrer try in for n Madison. Ind., May 9. | Mrs. Svrlnsheti;i And Ike Tribune Again.

This tirao he felt every whar and upsot lota of tilings, makin a terrible racket n- mnng tho crockery,, but drat the drap of milk could he find. “Cuss the milk 1" f js he; "whar could they put it!’’ * In about five minits more he was at tlie bed room door agin. “8u. an, Susan I” ses he.

" Well, whar is it!” ses he. “ 1 told you, ou the tlielf—in the pantry—in tho din- in room 1" ses Busan, breakingit off into eliortmouth- fuls of pretty loud italiek. That sort o’ skeered Bill, and put him off his gnrd. “ Well, Susan,” Ees he. "It it tied up in any thing or is U lay in about loose t" That was enough—-the ent was out of the hag, and no help for it. Mrs. Pipkin was blight awake in a nunit, uud the way Bill got a Cuudle that night was e- uough to sober the drunkest husband in creation. He never got corned agin—and was more’n year after foreffle could drink milk in his coffee when Busan wse at the table. From the Charleston Mercury.

In this Conference, in seseion at St. Louis, on die 14th iustunt, Dr. Smith’s resolutions for the division of future general Conferences into two branches, to bo called on upper and lower house, were read. They are as follows: l-t The lower house shall be constituted as the present general Conference now is, nnd invested with the same authority, so far as may be judged necessa ry to conform its relative powers to tuose oi tlie other bnuieU of tlie Legislature. . 2d Tbe upper shall be constituted by not less than one nor mole than two traveling elders lor each An nual Conference, to be elected by those laymi n who are of mature age, and in full connection with the church.

They were uiude the order of the day for 55 ednes* day luai. „ , * The tit. Louis Intelligencer gives a detailed synop sis ol" the address of the bishops, lrom which we ex tract tlie following relative to the Church North : The separation in the church, whereby the Metho dist Episcopal Church South lias been driven, in de ls furence of its rights nnd leeliugs, to a separate or ganization, was next alluded to. 'i lie plun ot sep aration settled upon m Now Yol k hud not been car ried out in good faith. The friendly ieeling on the purt ol the North, which at first seemed to promise Fairness, bad proved short-lived. The piun had been violated, and the Church South had been infused any share in the common property of the body. A del- e 'ute sent by the Church South to the conterenco oi tue Northern branch of the Church, held at Pittsburg, to treut of these matters, hud beon rejected. And tliut church, which hud, in its hatred to slavery, driv en slaveholders from their connexion, are uovv to be sei n encroaching on the territory of the Church South, gathering m, wherever they can, our members into their told. ~ They have even guue into tlie iudian missionary fields ol me Church South ami endenvu • ed to alienate the Indiana lrom us—thus doing great injury to the cuuse of Christ, by distracting uud di viding the counsels and work of his followers. The inconsistency of this course, ou the part ot those who claim to be servants ot the God of Peace, was deep ly deplored.

Saturday Morning;, May IS, 14800. LARGEST CIRCULATION! FT5P The Daily Morning News has now a circu lation larger than that of BOTH THE OTHER DAI LIES TOGETHER, mid consequently is the iiest advehtibing medium. 5Ve state this fact in justice to ourselves and for the benefit of the advertising public. See first page for our rates of advertising. Tfgf* Advertisements should lie handed in at an early hour, to insure their appearance in the paper of tlie next morning. ton correspondent, Mrs. Hwisshelm. 5Vc copied tlie paragraph from the Charleston Courier, a respecta ble Whig paper, in which it appeared witli the accom panying remark* of the Buftolo Commercial Adverti ser, another prominent mid highly respectable 55’hlg Journal, the Editor of which, if we mistake not, was not long since honored with n Foreign Mission by President Tavloji. Tlie Advertiser introduces the extract in question with the following remarks, after which it proceeds to make its comments upon the article, its author, and the editor of the Tribune : New York Tribune and Mr. Il'ebstcr.—Some days since tlie New York Tribune published a letter from a 5Vushington corroepondr nt, containing an obrccne and most scurilous personal attack upon the private and public character of Mr. Webater. For this com munication, whie i was very like an emanation from a stew, we hnve been looking for some apolo gy to decency nnd the 5Vhig party; blit, instead of this, we find the ottensjve article flouting about in tlie lower strata of the opposition press, which stands ready to copy with avidity anything in derogation of the character of a 5Vhig state, man, especially if they find it in papersprofesfe.lly 5Vi.i . That we .Lave not characterized this attack too strongly, we art’inclined, though much against good taste, we are aware, to pub, lish a single extract Having met with other articles from the Tribune equally coarse and abusive, aimed against the charac ters of public men, against the South nnd at one time against General Taylor, aud seeing ihut. tlie para graph alluded to had been published in a respectable paper iu the Editor’s own State, we did not for n mo ment suppose there could be any question about its authenticity; and with a view to show our readers tlie character of the persecution which Mr. Webster is receiving for liis course on the compromise question wc published the article, with the few words of in dignant comment which accompanied it. Yesterday morning we received from a gentleman in this city, a copy of IbeTribune, with nn accompany ing communication in which the writer refers us to the paper for a flat denial from the Editor, that the paragraph had rwer betu printed in his columns. Mr. GnEELEYsnys :— “ No fU ch paragraph ns they quote, nnd attribute to ui ever nppeared in the Tribune either ns original or selected.” Upon this deniul our correspondent suggests that justice to the Tribune require.-, that we should retract our reproof. 55’e freely admit that if the Editor's denial is to be relied cn, it is but just that lie should be exlion- orated irom blnme. But, at the same time, caudor compels us to say that we find it difficult to get rid el the suspicion thnt there is some speciul pleading in the matter. 55’e have not forgotten thnt heartless imposition, the Slivennmoon letter, by which the sensibilities of the Irish population of New York were HO basely imposed upon;—nor hnve we forgotten the innumerable misrepresentations against the South, which we have seen from time to time pub lished in the Tribune, mid while those things, and the utterly unscrupulous character of the intui are fresh in our memory, we find it difficult to give full credit to liis statement. It is very strange that the Advertiser would make such nn unqualified charge without good ground for doing so. Mr. Greeley does not deny.that ids chaste protege, Mrs. Swiss- helm, wrote the obnoxious article, nor doei he deny that it ever nppeared in an extra or in any other form from his office. And notwithstanding liis contradic tion of the Advertiser, we shall not be at all surprised to learn that the lutter is sustained, in effect, by the facts of tho case. However, until thn matter Is more fully developed, we have no objection to withdraw our reproof in iu this special case, and transfer it to the general ac- couiit of reprehension to which we think the editor's course in reference to the South justly entitles him. 5Ve are perfectly willing to give even the Old Boy liis due, and none the less to do justice to Hohace Gree ley. If, therefore; lie did not publish the ofl'ensive article against Mr. 5Vebsteb, tho blame rests en tirely with his Mrs. Swisshclm, the author of it. Our correspondent is mistaken in thinking that we designed any “fling” at him as a patron of the Tri bune. It wus farthest from our intentions to give him, or any other subscriber to thnt paper, cause for offence liy our paragraph. 5Ve have not printed liis communication, because we were uncertain whether lie designed it for publication. If he desires its ap pearance, we will most cheerfully give it place. Another Cotton Factory. The Charleston Mercury, in speaking of the satis factory results attending the working of the present Charleston Cotton Mill, of which Gen. C. T. James was the engineer, thus alludes to anew one in con templation in that city : “5Ve learn With much satisfaction that his highly liberal offer to subscribe for half die stock of k$301),- UUO Cotton Mill, will insure at an early day the erec tion of a factory in our city ou an enlarged scale, and which will compnre favorably in style, finish and pro duct with uny ever built in this country or Groat Brit ain. Thus we go—for every northern factory that sus pends a southern one springs into existence. Superior Court.—In the Superior Court yester day, Judge Jackson presiding, the Attorneys of Mr. G. J. Bulloch, charged with robbing the Central Rail Road und Bonking Company, objected to hia case go ing before the Grand Jury, upon the ground that some of the Jury were Stockholders iu the Bunk, and thnt others, as citizens of Savannah, were interested in the stock held by thp City, und, therefore, not competent Jurors. The case was ably argued on the part of the State, by Messrs. Law &. Babtow, nnd 5V. B. Gaulding, E-qs. And on tlie part of the Defendant, by Messrs. ’Ciiaklton & 5Vaed. mid L. S. De Lyon, Esqs. After the argument wns concluded, the Court ad journed. Judge Jackson will give his decision ou the points raised, this morning. The Steamship Georgia.—This steamship left Now-York ou Monday lost, for Chagres, &c., to touch nt Chnil stun nnd Savannah, anil we learn passed our bar on Tuesday night nt 12 o’clock. She was spoken out-iide the bar by a Pilot-boat, nnd a-ked if t he in tended to commui.ieate. The reply was that she did not. The steamer J. Stone, Capt. Freeland, went down with the mails nnd ptisseugers from this city, and returned yesterday morning, not having been nble to fulfil her mis-ics. The Georgia had on board 010 passengers. These trequent failures to fulfil her con tract, requires the attention of the proper authorities. From Florida.—The Jacksonville News of the Uth inst., has intelligence from Fort Gatlin, in Or ange county, which states that the Indians are dr v. ing off their cattle and retiring iu the direction of the head-waters of the St. Johns. The settlers on the frontier are evidently alarmed, and those on the out side cf the Hitchepucksassa are moving in. Petitions are in circulation to obtain protection from govern ment. {flfp* 5Vc understand that tlie Rev. John P. Dun can will preach ill the Methodist Church this (Satur day) evening, und, as will he seen by reference to our church table, will officiate in that church to-morrow. The Charleston Fiiie.—A despatch received in this city yesterday afternoon Elutes that the Southern Mutual Insurance Company of Georgia has sustained no loss by the Charleston tire. Oglethorpe University.—The sixty thousand dollars, upon the scholarship plan, having been sub scribed to furnish the endowment of this institution, the Rev. R. Chamberlain, its fiscal agent, is now iu our city for the purpose of collecting tlie subscrip tions made in Savannah, and issuing the necessary scrip. It is very desirable thnt these subscriptions should be promptly paid, to enable the Institution at once to take the position which lias been marked out for it by its untiring and devoted friends; a position which will reflect honor on its distinguished name, and on thnt of our rapidly advancing State. Matrimonial Agency.—A Company has been for med in Boston, with a capital of *15,000, called “The N. E. Matrimonial Agency Co.” Gentlemen in want of wives, and ladiesin want of husbands pay *3 and hnve their names registered. This done, they are en-j lost year.

He must have had very little print- ing office experience, or lie would never have thought of undertaking such a tusk—certainly not of perform ing it within the limits of five volumes. Ho would have known thnt five huudred quartos would have been required, and that, even if they served the pur pose, nnd he cuuld have lived to accomplish the work, there still would have existed u necessity for some score more of volumes of errata to correct the er rors of his own work, which, ufter nil, would have only served as a monument ot his own falibility. In newspaper printing, even in tlie best regulated establishments, errors will sometimes occur. They belong to that class of misfortunes which may be set down as incidental certainties. Tlie mails may possibly, probably will, fail,—a hundred things may linppen to annoy uud perplex—but errors will occur, and if the thing was worse than hanging, so tlint there wus uo possibility of getting used to it, there would he no such a thing us effecting a policy of insurance ou the lives of Editors or Printers, however valuable they may be both to themselves aud the world at largo. 5Ve have been tempted to these remarks by nn er ror or two which stole their way into our paper yes terday, despite the vigilance of our proof reader, who had his head and hands full ill getting our paper into its new rig. We will culy mention one of them. In our paragraph prefuciug the scrap to newspaper bor rowers, cur compositor made us say that we found ti e article some eight years ago. 5Ve' wrote penned instead of “found.” 5Ve correct the error, not so much to assert our authorship of thnt remarkable di alogue, us to explain our enption and introductory remarks, which are rendered unmeaning by tile word found."

New York, May 13, 1850. 55’e have just recovered from the chilling influences of a cold Mnyatann, which has depressed everybody and every thing for several days past. But the sum mer is at length upon us, and New York, to-day, seems to expand its beauties beneath the warm rays of the sun. There.is s cheerfulness, a gladness, a briskness, ill all one meets ; nnd despite Hie elouds of dust that almost blinds and chokes you, in every street, we see. even in tlie tenring down of buildings, and the cn. larging of others, a sign of increasing prosperity, and u proof thnt New York is not destined to lose the dis tinction of being the Empire City of tlie Union. It would fill tlie unsophisticated with surprise to witness the present condition of the city; there is scarcely a street of any importance, in which bricklayers and othre laborers arc not employed, either pulling down or building up; and us ior Broadway, from one end to thn other, are stacks of bricks, of such altitude tliot one trembles to come in close proximity to them. Indeed, there is great danger in walking the street, of getting a brick on your lint, if not in it, at every step you lake; uud tlie most hair-breadth escapes (excuse the pun) are constantly witnessed. There is more building going on in New York just now, probably, tlmn was ever before known—the memory of the old est inhabitant has been taxed upon this subject, but in vain; mid not even tlie venerable Major Noah, who is authority upon every doujjtlYil point, cun furnish a parallel time. The intelligence of the prevalence of Cliolcrn nt S Louis created some alarm here, which will, doubtless, increase as the heat increases. Already suites of rooms are being secured in the hotels at 5Vntering Places, and, at the first report, there will be a general scampering of thone who can nttbrd it. The city, however, is very houltby at present; the deaths last week only numbering 240. For my own part, though by no means foolhardy, I have little apprehension; for even should tho destroyer appear, such sanitary measures will be taken ns will render the visit less terrible. That lie will leave sorrow and distress iu his path must he expected; hut with nerves well braced, strict carefulness as to diet nnd lmhits, nnd a proper reliance in Providence, we may calmly nwuit the result. The death of thnt lovely woman nnd sweet poetess, Mrs. Frances 3. Osgood, lias enst n gloom over a large circle oi friends to whom she had* endeared herself by her many virtues. She died yesterday, of eon- sumption, which tor some time past lias been silently, but surely, sapping the foundations of life. She has left n husband. S. S. Osgood, the portrait painter, and two beautiful girls. I have rarely seen a sweeter fuee than Mrs. Osgood's, it wns not pretty mid iusiped. but soulful mid i nil of expression—there was something perfectly ellierlnl in her appearance, and youthful, too. though her age is stated nt 37. 5Ve almost lind another abolition excitement to-day. A colored man, it seems, wns convicted last week for stealing, and iu order to avoid tlie State prison, stated thnt he was a fugitive slave, and information was in some way conveyed to his old master, who came on here, nnd sued out a writ of habeas corpus to obtain possession of him. He was taken before Judge Dar by, on Saturday,- hut the case wns adjourned until tli’s morning. At the hour when lie wns expected to he brought up, a large collection of strapping negroes had assembled near the door of the Judge’s Chnmber, some cf them armed with largo sticks: and at the rear of the City Hall, dark females of various shades were collected in numerous groups. 5Vhether it wns the r intention to prevent tlie darky from being given up to the owner, I know not, but it in very probable that that underground railroad would have been used, nnd a mysterious disappearance hnve taken place. Tlie owner of the slave wns discovered through some remark lie made, nnd immediately surrounded by tlie negroes, nnd experienced a good hustling before he was rescued by the police. In tlie meantime, tlie cause of all the excitement was quietly taken before the Court of Sessions; pleaded guilty to grand Inr- ceny. and wns sontPiice d to two years imprisonment nt Sing Sing. As soon ns this wns kuown, the excited ilnrkies expressed themselves satisfied, nnd dispersed. Ashley, who is connected with tlie Drury affair, and stands convicted of forgery, was brought up for trial on nnother indictment this morning, hut took tlie Court by surprise, by raising a point of law, und claiming to he discharged from tlie other indictments. He was used ns a witness for the people in the trial of • One-eyed Thompson.” and contends thnt by the law of the State, he is thereby entitled to liis discharge. The case is being argued ; but such it appears is the law, and he must succeed. Thompson’s acquittal does not surprise uny one. He will not he tried again. The testimony is too unreliable. The Sun’s flaming announcement on Saturday, of tho operation of tho Expedition again-t Cuba, is viewed as a lionx generally; though some persons think it may be true. The luminary is indignant this morning, that its accuracy is doubted; but when we remember tiin Moon lloux, nnd thn sudden disap pearance of Niagara Falls, which that paper put forth, a little scepticism may lie pardoned. The Steamships Georgia aud Cherokee left, hero to day, for Chagres, the former with six hundred pas sengers, and the other with three hundred! So thnt you may foim a very good idea of tlie prevalence of the California fever, notwithstanding the failures that have taken place there, and tlie general stagnation of business. Tlie amount of specie exported from this port during the present year is 81,113,689. Last week $119,110 were shipped here, for London, Liverpool, and Curncon. CHAULEMAC.

The first article in Blackwood’s Magazine for April, is an examination of the Ministerial Measures of the day, Free Trade, &c., in which the writer in troduces a letter from Gen. Sir 5Vm. Napier, the elo quent historian of tho Peninsular \5Tir, portraying thedisastrom effects of Free Trade upon the futc of the nation ill future times, in powerful and graphic colors. The following is the concluding paragraph of the letter: “FreeTrade for Euglnndis, I think, well illustrated by tile story of the view in Mitrryat’s Captain Violet, Bruin being up u peach tree, was vigorously shaking down the fruit for his own eating, hut n hog was below very complacently rating the peaches, as they fell, and expressing by grunts liis satisfaction ut the bear’s gen erosity." Sam, Gen. Napier thinks, will be the satisfaction of tlie United States, nnd other nations, ut the course pursued by the British Ministry. From the Plain*. An express, sent in from Fort Kearney, arrived at St. Joseph's, Mo., bn the 29tli tilt., for the. purpose of ati- nouucing to tho emigrants, at that and other starting points for California, tlie great danger nnd risk to life and property that must he incurred by leaving the settlements just now to cross the plains. The St. Jo seph's Gazette says: The statementis, that there is no appearance of grass on the plains—that some companies had passed the Fort two weeks ago but thnt their stock must perish, and themselves suffer unparalleled hardships, if they should persevere in their onward course.

Thnt period having arrived in which a Board of Health for tlie ensuing season has been organized, by its rules it is made my duty as its Chairman to ad dress yon. There is little to he said, except to remind you of the importance of a careful observance of the several ordinances of tlie city relative to those matters pise ed specially under cognizance of this Board. They enjoin upon you to rid your premises of nil nuisances of every kind, nnd to keep them free from every im purity or cause of disease or discomfort. J ask of you a co-operation with the Committees of your sev eral 5Vards. nnd an interest with them in promo ting the object of their appointment. It is for you to make tlioir duties light or heavy, agreeable or the re e sc, ai d I trust they will/eceive your courteoni consideration. To you, my associates, I would swy. that though lnhors may oftentimes be thankless, yet they are im posed by the public good and must yield the reward of a consciousness of duty well performed. It ii due to your own dignity to see thnt nil your requisi tions ure complied with—and to you I look with con fidence for support in the performance of the task wo have jointly accepted. In n growing city like ours, as population becomes denser, more attention to cleanliness is necessary, nncl the greater the care and labor roqusite to pro mute it 5Vater is the great purifier, and public opin ion will, I hope, more aud more strongly call for the abundant supply whicU'is almost at our doora and van be had at so small a cost Then with a fountain in every square, a bath in every house, nnd a sewer in every lane, a Bonrd of Health may be dispensed with, nnd the officers off tho corporation will be fully adequate to keep of disease by the performance of their ordinary routine of street cleaning. Having called your attention to an observance of the City Ordinances and the great source of physical health nnd purity, I would inform you that the week ly visits of the 5Vard Committees will now com mence mid continue until November. It will bo ow ing much to your patriotism and their fidelity, under God’* blessing, if we continue to enjoy that health which may fairly be a subject of gratitude and rejoic ing to us all.
