Tun abolition rHRXNZY.—We are sorry to perceive that
oar Legislature are entering the vortex of the slavery dis-
f . J!S |on. The agitation of this subject, which in Congress
: useless, and mischievous in a degree to be palpable to
•hr dullest man’s comprehension, is in our Legislature
without a shadow of justification or pretext. It seems
like an attempt to throw a firebrand for the sole purpose of
miscliief, where there is not even a plausible allegation of a
beneficial object. Is it not enough that a great portion of
the attanti m of Congress, which was required for purpos
es,. e of legislation for the public benefit, ar.d for the consi
deration of private claims in which great numbers of our
dtirein are interested, and towards whom justice is delay-
d for want of time to mature the bills reported for their
rr.ief—is it not enough that a great portion of the session,
tiiirh was due to the discussion of such subjects of prae-
tical utility, has been wasted in the attempts of a few peo
ple, in a few of the States, bvpressing forward female funa-
tics into the front of the battle, to drive them into a useless
content on a question upon which it was manifest to every
nan of any sense, that the slave holding States would he in
, large majority 7
It was perfectly obvious that there was no useful object
i. be gained by pressing this subject upon the attention of
'■ingress, in any contingency. It was equally certain that
well mischief would be done by it in every contingency.
Tie mischief which every man foresaw has been done, and
ins irreparable. Mischief has been done in the delay and
iitemiption of public business, and it has been done in ir
ritating men’s minds, weakening the disposition for a friend
ly intercourse between the North and the South, and weak
ening past remedy the bonds of the Union. And what is
sow proposed to be done 7 It is to bring bedlam into our
ftatr Legislature. It is not merely to set up the beaocn of
defiance against the South, but it is to sow the seeds of dis-
rord among ourselves. We warn our Legislature against
try licit course. The subject of slavery at the South is
one with which they have no concern. If there is any one
in bondage within their own jurisdiction, let them set him
free. But to undertake to lesrislate for the States beyond
'otomar—to interfere with t'ueir codes of law, or to
reform their morals, is to step bevond the line of their du-
-y—ami to undertake to do this at a time when the. sensi
bility of the people of the slaveholdin^ States is so deeply
and so justly excited, is to undertake to do the very worst
thing, for the cause of harmony among ourselves and of
gnml feeling betw een us and our sister States, which it is
possible fur them in their legislative capacity to do.—Bos
ton Patriot.
Another Indian massacre —The Tallahassee Flori
dian of the 4th instant,says—“On Wednesday night last,
a party of Indians supposed to be from 50 to 60 in number,
attacked the house of Mr. Wallace, who keeps a ferry over
the Aucilla river. He attempted to resist them but his
gun would not fire. He finally threw feimself into the ri
ver, and swam to the opposite side. ^lis wife and two
daughters were inhumanly butchered by the savages. Lt.
Bannerman who was posted near the scene of outrage with
a portion of the mounted men from Leon county, promptly
pursued the enemy about four miles, but finding them too
strong for him, he returned for the purpose of obtaining a
larger force.”

Ixmr.T t *;t from Florida.—By the following account
n'ccivru at Savannah, we may agr.in presume that the hos-
tilities in Florida are at an end :—
“ Camp near Fori Fade,

“ I unarm d ln-L night from a very disagreeable and hard
wire of a week, mending roads. W e had a great deal ot
ninv wrnth'T—It was much worse than marching in cx-
Fctaiicm of meeting an aremy—for then there was excite-
-I'-nt. The General is pretty sure of a large party coming
L but it is very doubtful w hether the others want peace. ,
"Jumper was in camp yesterday, and brings word from
Miranopy that lie will agree to any thing that Jumper says,
a -dtliiit when a-day is fixed upon he will come in with his
ITIp, their wives, children, and goods.
“ He savs that Jumper is his sense bearer. In fact, they
klhn that the Governor is an idiot, and too fat to come,
Mid does not like to leave home, and many other tales
wo ’ f b may or may not he true.
"It is curious that Occola has been invested by the whites
vith jo manv virtues, and so much authority, for the truth

Gen. Jesup is sure of one thing,—that if the other tribes

k' n >n him to act as guides in this vast country, of which
‘u little has as yet, been explored.
Twelve hostages have been living in camp for ten days

I haw just been attending the talk between the head
'■>fi<nf the hostilcs and Gen. jesup. Jumper says he will
fi ?ht any more—no can’t ii<rht a whole nation like us—

’ non the General pushed him a little about the time of
coming to Tampa, he said, that if he agreed to hurry
might be supposed they were scared, wliich was not the
they were anxious for peace and would come in. ^

Northern lights.—There have been many written and
many umeri/len speculations on the subject of the Aurora
Borealis, or Northern Lights. We have always cherished
the opinion that they were intimately connected with elec
tricity, and we believe the hypothesis is now generally ad
mitted, if not absolutely proved. An intelligent practical
surveyor of our acquaintance has long maintained that they
arc also associated with magnetism. He contends that
the magnetic power is an invisible and exceedingly subtle
fluid, the absolute electric matter having a continual flux
ion, like a tide, around or through the earth, nearly in a po
lar direction, but slowly and gradually varying toward the
west for a number of degrees, and then, in a lapse of years,
receding toward the east. The magnetic needle has such
an affinity with ar.d subjection to this power, that when pro
perly suspended, it naturally arranges itself in the same di
rection, and flows or floats in it in the same manner that a
stick of timber floats longitudinally in a stream in wliich it
is placed. This hypothesis is, to say the least, good as
any we have seen advanced, and we are strongly inclined to
think will prove to be the true one, whenever philosophy
shall attain the mean# of proof. Pursuing this very rea
sonable theory, we will suppose that, from some cause or
other, u superabundance of the fluid electric has arrived at
the polar region; by seeking violently to return to its equi
librium, k will occasion a flashing, perhaps a rustling or
cracking, without any explosion. This certainly is all con
sistent with the actual phenomenon. Perhaps, after hav
ing passed the earth to the polar region, a passage through
the air is the natural mode of its return. Then under va
rious circumstances, and in different states of the atmos
phere and the weather, it inay be exhibited, in summer, in
what is called heat lightning, and when collected by the
agency of clouds, it may become condensed and explode in
thunder. In winter it may appear in the form of the Au
rora Borealis we are considering, or in certain states of
the atmosphere, it may even produce thunder in the win
ter. It may he that the heat of the sun in the equatorial
regions causes the electric fluid to expand, until it is driven
into the region of the pole, and then as before, it becomes
condensed and visible in its endeavor to return. The hy
pothesis that the northern lights are connected with mag
netism, lias received strong confirmation from Professor
01 ms tend of New Haven, who says that during the recent
display of the Aurora Borealis on the 25th of January, the
magnetic needle fluctuated nearly a whole degree from its
usual course. ' This will account for the strange variations
of the needle which surveyors have often noticed in their
practice, but which have never been satisfactorily explain
ed. The surveyor to whom wc have before alluded as
sures us that in his practice during the lost rraimor, on
the nt ar .and sudden approach of a thunder cloud, the nee
dle varied essentially from its course in the morning.—
There is one fact respecting lightning, which however well
it mav be understood by philosophers, we do not recollect
to have seen expressly and lucidly stated. It is generally
supposed that the electric matter is contained in the clouds,
and that as it passes along it occasionally discharges a por
tion of it, as a vessel with a loaded battery, in passing down
a rivpr, might discharge one gun at a time. As we under
stand it, the electric fluid is variously distributed through
the atmosphere, and the cloud, in passing through a stra
tum of it, causes at intervals the sudden condensation and
explosion of certain portions of it. It will be seen that we
speak of these various phenomena as if they were the va
ried effects of the same power. We consider them so, in
the same manner that, oceans, seas, rivers, springs, rain,
hail, snow, mists, clouds, dew, fogs and dampness, are the
varied appearances and effects of water. It has been re
marked that the Aurora Borealis are seldom seen, unless a
cloud or thin fog is in the atmosphere. On the night in
question, when the northern lights assumed such a delicate
red or crimson color, a very rare white fog lay along from
east to west, which received the reflection, and as this rose,
sunk or expanded, other lights wavering with it—now
forming a resplendent areli, and now shooting in long rays
like spears to the zenith. The exquisite beauty, grandeur,
and sublimity of that scene, the pen can never satisfactorily
delineate.—Boston Traveller.
The f. flowing description of a very important division of
the trade of Moscow in the days of her glory, ere the spoil
er came, or the flames consumed the venerable temples
and mansions that had been the prido of her citizens, as
given by a late English traveller, may not be uninteresting
to our readers :—
“ That part of the city of Moscow, which is appropria
ted to the rag shops and tailors is, says he, the most extra
ordinary sight, in this department of trade, perhaps in the
world. The streets are covered with wo—men dressed in
tattered silks, squatted on the ground, sewing, mending,
cutting up and selling, 'lhe sellers have the rags and old
garments fastened around their bodies ; while ribbons and
thread are suspended on a pad fixed on the head. All the
various costumes of the nation and from the Last and
South, are here displayed; tattered garments of gold lace,
ragged cloaks of velvet, and petticoats ol colored silks,
hang around the bodies of these women. In short, the
court-dresses of the Sultan, the finery of the seraglio, the
rich robes of the priests, the uniform of the soldiers, the
skeep skin tunicks of the Kalmucks, the thick furs of the
Baskins, Sec. &c., are all here exposed for sale. The man
ner of their making and idling, sleeping and gambling is
wonderfully contrasted; one man may be seen with eeve.ral
tiers of hoots, fastened ai-ound his body, playing at chuck-
farthing with another laced up in furs and silks; another
again, like a portable kitchen, with tea and coffee-pots,
slung from his neck, and cups of sugar. &c. stuck into a
leather belt around his waist, is attentively engaged at
chess, or profoundly crossing himself before some gilded
picture of a saint. Idleness and sloth, knavery and su
perstition, are the offensive appearances of this extraordina
ry place.”
The Calendar.—The Roman Calendar, and from which
ours is borrowed, was composed by Romilius, who made
the year consist of 304 days. Numa Tompilius corrected
his error by making it consist of 12 lunar months of 30 and
29 days alternately, which made 354 days, but being fond
of an odd number, he added one day more which made it
355 days; and that the civil year might equal the sun’s
motion, he added a month every second year. Julius Ca>-
sar as a farther improvement, made the year consist of 365
days, and left the six hours to form a day at the end of
every fourth year, which was added to the month of Febru
ary. This calendar was called the Julian, and the old
style, in opposition to the new style introduced by Gregory
XII. who finding the Julian gone too forward, cut off 10
days from the calendar, and to remedy the defect in fu
ture, left out one bissextile d^y everyone hundred years,
making every fourth hundred, year a leap year.
By act of Parliament to remedy the inconvenience aris-
ih«r from the differences- of style, Great Britain adopted
the Gregorian or new style by leaving out 11 days of the
month of September, in the year 1752.. The solar year
consists of 365 days, 6 hours and almost 10 minutes. The
lunar is less by 11 days, and consists-exactly of 354 days,
3 hours and 48 minutes, and is the year now used 1 by the
Turks The civil year, and by whicheach nation contrives
to keep time, generally consists of whole days The com
mon civil year consists of 365 days, and the bisssexRle or
leap year', of 366 days, making one day mor* than the
common, an* which is called the internaculary day-

By the arrival of the packet-ship Oxford, from Liver

you will perceive Cotton-Jias declined §d a £d a pound.—
The London Times of 31st January, says that the Money
market is decidedly easier, and that Bank stocks of all
kinds have advanced in price.
Liverpool, February 1, 1837.
Our last circular was dated 23d ult. since when the Cot
ton market has continued extremely dull, and prices have
further declined fully £d per pound. New Uplands end •
tho new crop of Orleans arc offered in quantity much be
yond the demand, and the range cf prices for the former is
now 9 to lOd, and for the latter 9' A 10.jd, with great diffi
culty in effecting sales to any extent. The business for the
week ended 27th ult. was 11,550 bales, of which 3,570
were Upland at7§, a lOf; 3,620 Orleans, at 7f a ll£; 760
Alabama and Mobile, at 7$ a 10£; and 80 Sea island at 25
a 34<1; and 190 stained, at 7 a 12d per pound; and the
sales since have been about to a proportionate extent. Ow
ing to easterly winds, the import since our last has been
light, and the supply into this port since 1st January, has
been 100,000 bales, against 84,000 bales in January last
year. The import of the American is 81,000, being an in
crease of 18,000. The stock in Liverpool is estimated at
215,000 bales, against 84,000 on 1st February last year.—
Tbc state of the money market still operates unfavorably
on trade, and both goods and yarns continue dull and de
clining at Manchester. The Spinners at Preston, who had
turned out, have many of them resumed work, but the dif
ferences at Oldham have not yet been adjusted.
The sales of Cotton to-day have been about 1200 bales,
and such is the pressure in the market, that prices have
further declined j to j per lb.
How A MAN FEELS WITH HIS HEAD OFF. Some of tllC
most eminent-physiologists of Germany and France, are
pertinaciously arguing the very curious question as to whe
ther a man feels after his head is off. And this inquiry is
considered by its conductors to be of more than physiolo
gical interest, because it involves a refined principle of hu
manity with regard to the punishment of death by the
guillotine.
It is considered on all sides that the body does rot feel
one instant after decapitation; for the brain being the sea*
of sensation to the whole frame, through the medium of
the spinal marrow, every part of the body beneath the joint
at which the latter may be divided, must be deprived of
feeling. But it by no means follows that the head is de
prived of sensation immediately after decapitation, nor
that it may not retain its consciousness, and, like the head
of the Irish Knight who was killed by Saladin in the Holy
War, get up and declare that it never was cut off by so
sweet a scymitar before; nor like that of the assassin Le-
gare, swear roundly at the executioner for not keeping a
keener axe; but it is quite possible that it may be troubled
with very serious reflections upon the irrevocability of its
fate, and the awfulness of its deprivation.
In support of this unpleasant theory many facts are ad
duced, with grave vouchers for their authenticity. Amoung
others, is the unfortunate Mary, Queen of Scots, whose lips
continued to move in prayer for at least a quarter of an hour
after the executioner had performed his duties. Wiadt
states, that after having put his mouth to the ear of a decap
itated criminal’s hea l, and called him by name, the eyes
turned to the side fr >:n whence the voice came; and this
is attested by Fontenelle, Mo gore, Guillotine, Nauche.
ar.d Aldini. On the word murder being called in the ear
of a criminal, executed for that crime at Coblentz, the half
closed eyes opened wide with an expression of reproach on
those w ho stood round.
This is recorded in the Medical Gazette for April last;
but whether it be believed or not, we see nothing cith'-r in
theory or recorded fact to lesson the physiological posji'iiff'
ity of consciousness after decapitation. In diseases of dis
location of the spinal marrow, the mind remains in full po-
session of its faculties, although all the,lower limbs are ut
terly devoid of feeling; and at what point of separation are
we justified in saving that the mind must loose its rational
powers? If the brain retains the images of vision, and
the forms of touch, long after the objects which created
them are withdrawn, why may we not suppose that it re
tains them after a sudden operation of the axe or guil
lotine? Like the thigh of an amputated leg, which fee!
its toes for days, and even weeks after the operation; it
may remain in imaginary posession of all its corporal mem
bers, until the curtains of oblivion are gathered around its
fading visions and sinks to repose in the chamber of death.

Vermonter at a tavern. They hud heard much of Yankee
ingenuity and cunning; they soon determined to nee if they

Thinking he would be careful of hk copper* they proposed
to him r in the course of the evening’*'chat, that each of
them should propose and do something, which the other
two should imitate, or on refusal of either so to do, he
should pay all the damage the other two might sustain,
and the scot at the bar: The Vermonter was a little wary
at first, but at length consented. One of the Yorkers com
menced tha game. Ho pulled off his coat, walked up to
the fire, and threw it on. His companion did the same.
The Vermonter as they had agreed, must do the same with
his coat or pay for the other two coats, and the scot.—
Without hesitating, off went the garment on to the fire.—
The other New-Yorker nex* made trial. He off boots and
hat and consigned them to the devouring elements. His
companion imitated him, and, to their astonishment, the
Yankee was not backward. Next came the Vermonter’s
turn to lead. “ Landlord,” said he, “ is there a doctor
near ?” “ Yes, sir.” “ Send for him.” The gentlemen
of York began to stare. The doctor toon came in. “ Doc

IIeavt failures.—Wc nr: fallen upon singular and
anomalous times, says the New-Orleans American of the
7th inst. In the midst of unexampled prosperity, when
all the avenues of trade are open, when money is abund
ant for the ordinary operations of Commerce, wc .ore call
ed upon to record several extensive failures, involving an
amount almost alarming to the general credit. On Satur
day, one of our largest and most extensive houses failed
for seven millions, carrying with it five millions more.
When and where this is to stop we know not. The rage
for speculation has been so great, that there is no estima
ting the amount of responsibilites incurred. It does not
appear to have been confined to real estate. Over-tradi.ig
in the staple articles of the country on the part of a favour
ed few, has led to this disastrous state of things. Yet in
the midst of these extraordinary failures, the business of
the country is going on steadily. This is a proof of the
stability of our mercantile friends. It is thought that some
of the houses which have stopped payment will be able to
resume business in a few days.
Singular phenomenon.—About the latter part of De
cember, a Mr. Cambridge, travelling near Devizes, in Eng
land, in a storm of rain and hail, perceived a bright, white
globular light at the top of each of his horse's cars, resem
bling weak gas lights. Soon afterwards fifty or more of
these appeared about the horses head and ears, and ten or
twelve on the stick carried by the rider. They lasted till
he proceeded about a quarter of a mile, and disappeared.
Mr. Cambridge gave the following account;
“ I rubbed my hands down the horse’s neck, but that
had no effect in removing the lights; I also rubbed with my
hand the stick twice, but still the lights were not removed;
the hor3C became very timid, and shook his head, and start
ed very much at the time, so that I had enough to do to
keep him in-the road; it was remarkably dark before the
lights came on, but when they were on the horse and the
stick, I could see the color of each perfectly, but yet threw
no light towards tho hinder part of the horse, and my
hat appeared to be also covered with the lights, but I did
not observe any on my coat; the lights were about the size
of a four-penny piece. The same thing was seen by a
man and woman, ^bout a mile distant, in the same direc
tion the sto.rm was; it was also seen by Mr. Smallbone, oni
whose -whip-handle only it appeared, and particularly on
the knots, as it was with my stick; yet there appeared no
flame, but a still, bright light. ’
An idea.—We lately heard a discussion in regard to
the best requisites for an army—and it‘ was suggested by
one of the parties, that he should like to be the general of
an army, every officer and soldier of which, had the jump
ing toothache—he would ask no better assistance. It is a
novel idea, certainly, bat decidedly a good one—for any
human being wh.> has ever been afflicted with the horrible
pain of the toothache—and especially that particular ex
cruciation of torment, the jumping toothache, can estimate
what courage and slashing propensities would be excited
in the breast of the sufferer. Indeed, upon reflection, we
had rather encounter a host of wild beasts, than an army
with the toothache. - Boston. Pearl.
The long-snow storm.—The longest snow storm that
ever was known in. England, took place in the year 1614.
It wavrecorded in the register of the parish of Wotten
Gilbert; that it began on tho 15th of January, and eontin
ned to snow every day until the 12th of MafeK Xh® *»»
of human life and cattle was immense.

au early hour, a fine, healthy infant was fount! at the door
of a house in New-York, and tenderly taken care of till 10

upon the 4th of March, named the little responsibilit;

these gentlemen will probably want the same done with
theirs,”—at the same time time he began to mala* ready
for the operation. The Doctor and the other two were
confounded. “ Come Doctor, don’t wait,” and setting open
his mouth, he discovered to the company, that he had but
one old rootless snag, that would hardly keep in his head. Ij
was presently out. The Yorkers wisely declined following
suit, paid the Vermonter for liis coat, hat and boots, aud
went off to bed grinding their molars.
Money continues tight, says the New-York Express of last
Saturday, and no change for the better—this week the ofier-
ings at Bank arc as large as ever—quadruple the amount of
what can possibly Ik* discounted. The banks arc low in spe
cie, and must continue so. A very large amount of notes
from the South and West has recently come back protested—
tliis falls heavily on Pearl street, as it compels the owners
to pay up again, as in most cases they had neglected them.
Stocks are remarkably well sustained, but the difference be
tween cash and credit is very great hi the street. Paper is
selling at to 2 percent., which is lower than it has ranged
at. Fortunately New-York is a creditor: both the South
and the East are in debt, and draft on New-York above par.
It is believed that when the river breaks up, and travelling
shall become good, the crowd of merchants will bring large
sums, which will relieve our city to a considerable extent.
Another expi.orino expedition.—From aparagraph
in the Courier des F.tats Unis, we learn that the French
frigate Venus, Captain Dupctit Thouars, has recently sailed
from Brest, on a voyage not exactly of exploration, but of
something very like it. Her course will be directed first to
those seas in which the whale fishery is carried on, and the
first^object will be to afford assistance and protection to such
French whalers as may stand in need thereof and to obtain
such information as may be useful to the encouragement of
that branch of national enterprise and industry; whence it
appears that the judicious government of Louis Phillippe
is not neglectful of the benefits to be derived therefrom.—
After accomplishing this duty, the Venus will proceed to
the North West coast of America, where French com
merce is beginning to make its way, and thence for
purposes of discovery to the Alentian Islands and Kam-
schatska.
The paintings for tub rotunda.—The joint com
mittee appointed to select artists to execute tho paintings
required to fill the four vacant niches in the Rotunda, have
fixed upon Vanderlyn, (whose famous ‘ Marius amidst the
ruins of Carthage’ has placed him in a rank of art surpas
sed by none in this country,) Chapman, Inman, and Weir
for that purpose. It is understood that two of the paint
ings were offered to Allston,-which he declined, from mo
tives of personal convenience, being engaged in other works,
and unwilling to be shackled by any obligation of time in
works of great importance. The pictures are to cost
$10,000 each. Eight thousand was the sum paid Col.
Trumbull for each of his four. The price may be liberal
enough, tut none would have complained of improper ex
travagance had it been higher. Probably, however, Con
gress will present some additional testimonial of their sense
of merit to tho.se whose productions, in this noble emula
tion, shall prove most particularly satisfactory to the coun
try.—Metropolitan.

The Legislature of Massachusetts, an well as that of
New-York, has under consideration a biil for the protection
of atheistical witnesses—allo wing such witnesses to certify
on affirmation.
Geological survkt of Michigan.—The Legislature
has appropriated to this object the following sums, for four
years, viz : $ 3,009 are appropriated for 18.17 ; $ 6,000 for
1S38 ; $ 9,000 for 1835 ; and $ 12,000 for 1840.
It was said that the F.ditorial Convention of Lexington,
Ky., was to raisa the prices of advertising, See., hut it is
worse than that: it is to devise means to collect money
for it!
A curiositt.—We have just hern shown, by one of the
gentlemen in the Post Office, a quill, iu the contrc of the
3tem of which was snugly embedded a needle, about an
inch and a half in length, where, evidently, it must have
found its way while the quill was by the side ol its mother
goose. What a pity it had not chanced to be the “ ex
punging pen.” It would then never have been without a
point! and the how and the when tho needle got into the
quill, would have been a pretty subject for the cogitations
of Dr. Jackson during his rctiracy.—Buffalo Journal.
African discoveries.—The Asiatic Journal for Janua
ry contains some account of the exploring expedition re
cently undertaken by Dr. Smith and others, from Cape
Town, South Africa, into the interior of the continent. It
appears that the expedition penetrated almost as far as the
tropic, found a very healthy climate, and returned in excel
lent condition, with an immense variety of drawings and
specimens of natural history. The artist who furnished the
zoological part of the collection is said to have set out
on this hazardous adventure in a state of- health which hard
ly allowed a hope of his being able to reach the frontier of
the colony, and to have returned a strong, robust, and heal

Smuggling bt dogs.—The smuggling between France
and Belgium by means of dogs r who carry- the goods a-
cross fields-and woods, where custom house officers cannot
be stationed, has now got to snch a-pitch that, in order to
repress it,-a tax has been laid of five francs per head on all
strong dogs ieaving France for Belgium, to the amount of
£ 6OQj00O'per annum. They have been shotyand seized,
and huntecLdown, but all to no use; and the French Min
ister* of Finance calculates that- the smugglers-, by means of
dogs,-cheat the French Custom house of duties'amounting
to nearly two millions and-'a:half francs per-annum.
