Died at the residence of hi® .-.on-in-law, in Heard county,
n the 9th instaut, Mr. David Hudson', in die 77th year of
s age. Mr. H. was in several engagements duringthe revo-
utionary war; he was in the ranks under Count De Estatig
nd Gen. Lincoln, at the assault on Savannah, where Pulaski
11; he was for twelve years returned from Elbert county, as
enator or representative in the Georgia Legislature. The
uties of these appointments were discharged by him with
onor to himself and full satisfaction to his constituents—
rith the manly independence and integrity of the patriots of
is day, he met with particular sternness of opposition the ad •
■ocates of the Alleviating Law. Mr. H. was for 33 years an
derly member of the Methodist Episcopal Church—in
,-hich he filled the offices of Steward and Class leader, with
lious propriety. His last moments were bright with the light
f a blessed immortality beyond the grave; he entered the
rk valley of the shadow of death with a Christian’s full
ssurance of emerging thence into a world of serene light,
ind beauty, and peace.
Departed this life on the 5tli instant, Mr. John K. Mad
dox, of Mouroe county, in the 42d year of his age, of the
lillions conjestive fever. He endured his afflictions with
hristian fortitude, and died in the full triumph of faith—per-
ectlv resigned to the will of his heavenly master. He was a
ender husband, a kind and affectionate parent, an indulgent
naster, and observed a strict regard for honesty and truth.—
le has left a wife and Id children, and an extensive acquuin-
ance, to mourn liis loss, fte has been in the Methodist Epts
opal Church for about 20 years; and for about 10 years of
hat time, an able minister of the new testament.
There was a remarkable religious excitement in the
Sandwich Islands at the last dates. Letter* from the
missionaries written in August, state that the number ad
mitted to the churches in all the island*, within twelve
months, wns somewhere from five to seven thousand.
Vbout a thousand more were expected to unite during the
onth of August. Ihe mission comprises 15 chrtrdhes,
mated in the different islands of the group, arid up i<>
commencement of this excitement, they contained
49 members. The whole number admitted since the
t introduction of the Christian religion had been 1259;
that the .number of removals by death, exconimnnica-
and' in ail other ways, in about 1" or 13 years, was
[210. At the end of August last, tie' number must have
on from GO00 to 3000; and by i kt ‘ ‘d this year, con-
iderably larger. At this moment, the New-York Ob-
frver remarks, the comir,u'' K 'ants bear a larger propor-
on to the whole population, than in most parts of the

Femai.e Toper®-—Toward the decline of the Roman
'mmonvvealtb, and under the first emperors, the women
not onlv accustomed to drink wine, hut carried the
itcess of it as far as the men, which, if we credit L’liny,
sceeded any thing of the kind in modern times. To pro
mt females from committing excessive crimes, the luw-
vers in ancient times prohibited the free use of wines.—
complains bitterly, that, in his flay, the custom of
Inhibition was almost universally violated. The weak
i‘l delicate complexion of the women, says he, is not
banged, but tlieir manners are changed, and no lunger the
