smoother in old Bar^rry’s kitchen than it does else-
where, and Joe , who was just making up his mind to
treat himself to a kiss, was startled by the voice of the
deacoi, her father, shooting from his chamber door :
“ Sallvt What arc you getting up In tho middle of

" n make it a truth, then, said Joe; and, rou
sing'to the huge, old-fashioued clock that stood in
the earner, he set it at five.
“ Laok at the dock, and tell me what time it ia,"
cried.the old gentleman.
It's flvo by the- clock," answered 8ally; and, cor
roborating her words, the old clock struck five.

“The deacon 1 by thunder 1" cried Joe. “Hide
me, Bally I"
“Where can I hide you?" cried the distracted
girl.
“ Oh, I know," said he, “ I'll squeeze into the old
clock-case.” And, without another word, he cou-
coaled himself in tho case, and closed tho door.
The deacon was dressed, and sitting himself down
time to smoke three or four pipes, and then I'll go
and feed tbo critters."
“ Hadn’t you better feed the critters fust, sir," sug
gested the faithful Sally.
u No t amokin’ clears my head, and wakes me up,"
replied the deacon, who seemed not a whit disposed
to burry hia enjoyment.

“ Powers of mecry l" cried tho deacon; “ strikin’

“Deacon Barberry I" cried tba deacon’s better
half, who had hastily robed herself, and now came
plunging down the staircase in the wildest state of
alarm, "what is the matter with the clock ?”
“Goodness only knows." replied tbe old man.
“ It's been in tbe family these hundred years, and
paver did I know it to carry on >o afore."
Whizz! ding! ding! ding! went the clock again.
«It’ll bast itself," cried tbe old lady, shedding a
flood of tear*, “ and there won’t be nothin' left of it.”

As to tho « Algcrino Law " wo have hitherto only
noticed it when brought before tho attention of the
people of Savannah by the Republican. Our pur
pose has been to say very little about it. But as our
neighbor seems very fond of It—Indeed determined
to force it upon us aa one of tho issues of the canvass
—we now promise that he shall have enough of It,
before the conclusion of tho campaign—let who may
be " burnt" by it.
If tbe contest becomes a personal one, it Lb because
our opponents have chosen to make it so. What else
could they expect when they nominated their candi
date upon a platform containing not a singlo Whig
principle? They were ashamed and afraid to meet
the Democratic party upon tho issues which have
hitherto dtvided Whigs and Democrats. They show
ed so littlo pride, and sense of honor, and sense of
decency, as to como out with a profession of princi
ples, really Democratic, iu order to defeat the Demo
cratic party. They sacrificed all that they have
hitherto professed, if by so doing tboy might obtain
office.
Did not Jenkins say, a few months since, that his
“ desire was stronger than it had ever been before to
adhere to the national Whig party;" that ho was
“ satisfied with the platform" of tlmt party laid down
by tho Convention which nominated Scott. Yet for
tho sake of being Governor, ho ia willing to ignore
his Whig principles, lately so dear to him, and run as
the representive of some of the leading principles of
his opponents. Was this liko Jenkins? Uso. Jkn-
kins is very little like the portrait which tris friends
have painted toy him. Wo submit tb* question to
honest, high mipded men of all partis. Is not Mr.
Jenkins’ positinu, a thorough Whig as lie is, upon a
platform more ,than half Democratic, discreditable to
Mr. Jenkins?/
Voluntarily taking his place vlicro ho now stands,
tho WldsiKiididate carx^complaln if he is made the
i^ujcintic criticisms—criticisms of a
mucbwnove gcrlous character than the jcu d' esprit
wiitsh wo published from ths Richmond Examiner.
T^at, by the way, is neithe* “ abusive ” nor “ vul
gar.” Witty it is no doubt. Aud our ucighbor ought
U recollect that ice may know Jenkins very well (ns
teasy" as tho boy knew his daddy,) yet people
y abroad may bo more ignorant. Tho Rcjniblican may
therefore bo able to assert positively, that Jenkins is
not the man that struck Billy Patterson, thus upset
ting tho Examiner's hypothesis. Do we understand
our neighbor to deny that the assault upon Patterson
was made by Jknkins ? If so, will the Republican
further assert that it was not ho that “ bucked tbe
bull off tho bridge?" If Jenkins neither “struck
Billy,” nor" bucked tho bull,” let tho public know it.
But tho Examiner is told that Mr. Jenkins has
been a member of the Georgia Legislature,and of the
Georgia Convention, and still more wonderful, has
been a candidate for tho Vice Presidency! Come,
neighbor, enlighten tbla Richmond ignoramus by tell
ing him how many electoral votes Jenkins received
when ho ran for tho Vico Presidency. How many
electors in all the United States voted for Jenkins?
Did fifty? Did twenty? Did ton? Did any? Not
one!
Snvannnlx Hotel Company.
Council held a special meeting yesterday, for the
purposo of receiving tho report of tho special Com
mittee, to whom was referred tho memorial of the
Savannah Hotel Company, asking tho privilege of
arching a lane situated botween four contiguous lots,
or closing a street between adjacent trust lots, and
erecting a verandah to extend over the pavement—
The Committee reported in favor of the memorial.
A protest from George W. Anderson, Esq., was
read ngainBt granting tho prayer of tho petition,
whether in the shape ol tho privilege of closing a
street or arching a lane, and more especially against
arching tho lane between Congress and Broughton-
streets. The report of tho Committee was adopted.
R. H. Griffin, Esq., Attorney for Mr. Anderson,
gave notice of his Intention to apply to tbe Courts of
the Stato for a writ of Injunction to preveut proceed
ings under the grant of the Connell.
Under those circumstances a mooting of the Stock
holders In tho Hotel Company has been called for
this evening, as will be seen by advertisement, to be
held at tho Armory Hall, at hall-past 8 o’clock.
The directors have not yet selected a site for the
building.
The New Fire Engine.
Yesterday evening tho new engine, belonging to
Oglethorpo Fire Engine Company, No. 1, was pub
licly exhibited in front of tho Exchauge. It was sup
plied from the river by Washington Engine, No. 9,
and throw a largo Btrcam of water some ten or fifteen
feet abovo tho spire on tho Exchango steeple—a
height, wo believo, hitherto unattained by any other
“ machine."
Tho Oglethorpe is of beautiful model and most fin
ished workmanship—In all respects worthy her man
ufacturer, Mr. Joiin Rodgers, of Baltimore, and of
the energetic company having her In charge.
After a thorough and highly successful trial, the
position of the two Engines was changed—the
Oglethorpe supplying tbo Washington, which latter
fully sustained her acknowledged character In throw
ing water over tho spire, but did not succeed In reach
ing tho extreme height of the former.
The occasion brought togethor a largo and respecta
ble crowd of citizens who manifested much interest
in tbo performance of both cugines ; especially the
new one, which by common consent took tho palm.
After the trial a collation was servod at tho Hall of
tho Oglethorpe Company, which was participated in
by tbe Washington Company and a number of Invi
ted guests. We acknowledge the courtesy of an Invi
tation, but other engagements prevented our sharing
in the pleasures of the occasion. Tho German Band
accompanied the Oglethorpe Company, discoursing
various popular airs, adding much to tbo cflect pro
duced.
The Charleston Courier, of tho 21at, says that the
Telegraph Is still out of ordor north of that city, but
hopes that operations will be shortly resumed, as it
is aware that the new administration, iuto whose
heads the affaire of tbe Company havo fallen, are
sparing neither time or money to havo tho damages
that havo oconrrod to the wires repaired In a sub
stantial and durable manner. Mr. Mowrv, tho Presi
dent, has also gone, tho Courier bcliovca, personally
to Inspect tho repairs, and trusts speedily to have the
l|no in good working order.

If Captain Abercrombie is a Whig, lot him say so. If he

Tho Journal says well—" there are only two par
ties "—Democratic and Whig—Administration and
Opposition; and whoever docs not support tho one
sustains tho other. And tho question should be ask
ed of every candidate for political office in our own
State, are you tho friend or tho opponent of General
Pierce ? And if bis friend and supporter, then you
havo claims upon the votes of Democrats—if his op
ponent, you must seek an olection from othors.
Capt. Abercrombie’s opponent, Mr. Clopton, is
eminently worthy of the honor which will probably
bo conferred upon him. Ho is a most amiable and
excellent gentleman, a highly graceful and pleasing
speaker, aud, witliall, possesses very fine intelli

Mr. Whitaker lias long been connected with tho pe

and a fine writer. His able management of the South-

To those who are acquainted with Professor Fitten,
his connection witli tue Oglethorpe University—the

Insulting tho Poverty of the Poor*
To deal with tbe poor, requires a great deal of wis
dom and Judgment,as well as a verv largo amount
or human benovolenco. Tho poor have suflbrlngs
and grievances which are difficult to be comprehend
ed by tiioso who are surrounded br circumstances of
affluence. Many a poor and worthy person has suf
fered on, and struggled against their poverty and
misfortuno, rather than ask clmrlty: becauso thoy
have known by Bad experience, the grief of being in
sulted In their poverty.
A would-be philanthropist, for example, vMts a
poor woman who seeks charity. lie discovers a ring
upon her finger, and, notwithstanding it may havo
been tho girt of a departed mother, or the last testi
monial or love from an affectionate husband, sho is
informed “ that she had better soil It, for no ono can
be very needy, tliat can afford to wear a gold ring."
Ah, did such unfeeling persons know what a bolt wes
shot at n crushed heart, by such remarks, tboy would
nut mako them. It is aa erroneous impression that
some seem to labor under, that persons, to be poor,
must be ragged, filthy, and repulsive in their person
al appearance, and that every tiling around them
must bo iu keeping with this condition of things
This Is a mistaken idea; for most poor people liave
sufficient pride to keep themselves as respectable, in
appearance, as it is In their power to do; and one
who could do so, aud did not, would bu deserving of
low spin pat by.
Deal gently, then, and kindly, with the poor: re
spect their reelings, and compel them not to sacri

ovals. Ac., Ac., it is difficult to imagine. Every pos
sible ab.'.po was hero represented; and if a chunk
was thrown upon the great heap, bottles, shoes, jugs,
chunks, balls, and ovals, would commence tumblinf
and bounding, and dancing on all sides—a droll am
amusing sight—clastic shapes dancing a jig in a Para
warehouse. Among the stock in store in question, I
«aw some huge lumps of rough, ugly black looking
India Rubber, which, upon being cut, proved to be
pure white inside, or rather had much the appearance
of curdled milk, and emitted a somewhat offensive
odor. Thezs lumps are tbe natural rubber, without
preparation, Just as it exudes from the roots of tho
tree, and runs into the ground, where it mokes a
mould, and curdles itself without tho p.ssiRtancc of the
native, who has only to pick it up and carry it to
market. But although this is very pure material, and
as I am told, much superior in strength and durabili
ty to tho bottles and jugs, still it will not bring one-
third tlmt tbe prepared rubber doea. Many of these
lumps are bo large that four moil are required to
carry them.
“ There is a method in preparing the gum, which
has recently been patented, and which differs essen
tially from tho usual curdling. Tho milk, as drawn
from the tree, is buttled in largo glass bottles and
demiions; a preparation of some chemical nature,
which is a Becret, is mixed with the milk, and the
bottles ore securely sealed. In this way the gum is
Bent to tho United States. It curdles twenty-four
hours after exposure to tbe air, and form a pure,
white, solid and remarkably strong rubber.”
Capital Punishment.
George Gates, convicted of tbe murder of John Til
ly, was publicly executed near Ottawa, Ill., on the
Silt instant. The Editor of tho Peru Gazette, who
witnessed tbo execution, says :
The place of execution was a mound, a mile and a
half east of the town. The crowd of spectators was
immense : it appeared that all tho inhabitant* with
in forty miles around had collected there, aud we are
sorry to say, a large proportion were females.
All who attended this execution, we think, wbl
agree that it Imd a bad tendency. Instead of l>eing a
solemn occasion, it was made one for drunkenness
and carousal. Eves when tho last live minutes were
being called out by tho sheriff, there was one contin
ual din of jesting, laughing, wrangling and sweating,
and the last death struggles afforded material to tho
crowd for coarse jokes.
mu uv muraoimui, wiinous suDSUiauu*. suu written to
him for aid. Napoleon hid nothing but an assignat
of an hundred sous. Relating this adventure to Hon-
tholon,Napoleon says:
“ Iu a stato of dejection I want oat, as If urged to
suicide by sn aulmal instinct, and walked along tho
quays, feeling my weakness, but unable to conquer it.
In ofew more raoraonts I should have thrown mysolf
Into the water, whun I rim against an Individual,
dressed like a simple mechanic, and who recognized
mo, threw himscli on my neck, and criod,' Is It yoo,
Napoleon ? What Joy to seo you again I’ It was De-
mas!*, a former comrade of mine in the artillery regi
ment. He had emigrated aud had returned to Franco
in disguiso to seo his oged mother. Ho was about to
go, when stopping, ho salil,' What I* tho matter ?—
You do not listen to me. You do uot seem glad to
seo me. What misfortune threatens? You look to
me liko a madman about to kilt himself.’"
Tills direct appeal awoke Napoleon's feelings, and
> told him everything. “Is that all?’ said he.—
Opening bis coarse waistcoat, and detaching a licit,
he added, “ hero are thirty thousand francs in gold-
take thorn and save your mother."
“ I cannot," said Napoleon, "to this clay, explain
to myself motives for so doing, but I seized tbe gold
ns If by a convulsive movement, and ran like a mad
man to Bend it to my mother. It waa not until it waa
out of my hands that I thought of what I had done.—
I hastened back to the stop whore I had left Dcmosis
but ho was no longer there. For several days I went
out in the morning, returned not until evening, and
searched every place where I hoped to find him."
Tho end of the romance is as eccentric as the be
ginning. For fifteen years Napoleon saw no more of
bis creditor. At the end of that timo he discovered
him anil asked why he had not applied to the Empe
ror? The answer was, that lie Imd no necessity for
the money, and was afraid of being compelled to quit
his retirement, where ho lived happily, practising
horticulture.
Napoleon now paid his debts, as may be presumed,
agnificcntly ; made him accept three hundred thou
sand francs as a reimbursement from the Etnernr for
tho thirty thousand lent to the subaltern of artillery;
and besides made him director-geueral of the gur-
dons of tho crown, with a salary of thirty thousand
francs. Ho also gave a government place to his
brother.
In April, 1R15, when Napoleon was at tho head of
his army, preparing to attack tho allies, bis Marshals
demanded au Interview with him. They were op
posed to his plan of operations, and look. 1 upon an
attempt to re-enter Paris as hopeless. They proposed
that lie should abdicate in favor of his son. This was
also the advice of the Em|)eror Alexander. Napoleon
did as was proposed; but Marmont bad surrendered
on tlmt day. After this tbo allies.rejected all nego
tiation. Tiie propositions and offers of Napoleon to
his officers and soldiers were unheeded by them, and
he at last signed an unequivocal abdication for him
self and family. This led to the second attempt upon
ids own life. He thus narrates it:
'• From tho timo of the retreat from Bus9ia," said
lio, “ I had constantly carried rouud my neck, in a
littlo bag, a portion of a poisonous powder which
Ivan liuil prepnred by my orders, when I was in fear
of being carried off by thu Cossacks. My life no
longer Belonged to my country—tho events of thu
last few days had again made me master of it. Why
shonld I endure so much suffering? and who knows
tliat my deuth would not place the crown upon the
head of my son ? France was saved.
“ I hesitated no longer, but leaped from my bed.

A Fearless Boy.—A vessel was overtaken witli a
terrific hurricane, in the mhldlooftlie Atlantic Ocean
After the most astonishing efforts to weather tho
storm, the awful intelligence of the captain broke on
the ears of tho passengers, •' Tbe ship is on lier beam
ends : she wili never right again ; death is > artain."
“ Not at all, sir!" exclaimed a little sailor boy,
“ God will savo us yet."
“ Why do you think so ?” said tho captain, with
strong feeling and astonishment.
“ Because, sir. at this moment they nre praying un
der the Bethel flpg in the city of Glasgow, for all sail
or* in distress, and us among tbe rest; and God will
hear their prayers ; now see if he don’t."
The captain, an old, weather-beaten tar, exclaim
ed, with tears running down his checks, “ God grant
that their prayers may be heard in our behalf, my

At tliat moment a great wave struck tho ship and
righted her. A simultaneous shout of exultation, grat
itude and praise, louder than the storm, went up to
God. A few days after, the noble ship rode safely

He then gave us his address Burwcll Bratcher,
Vicksburg, Miss., saying tlmt be would bo pleased to
bear often from the child. I have since written two
letters, addressed to Burwell Bratcher, Vicksburg,
Miss., but have not received any answer. I ara satis
fied that tbe whole affair is an imposition, and know
ing the imperfection of human nature as Ido,I am will
ing to believe that the child may havo been clandes
tinely taken from some fond mother, who may be
weeping in all the bitterness of her soul, on account
of the mysterious loss of her little innocent babe. If
so, I say to you, fond mother," be of good cheer,” the
dead is alive, and the "lost may be found." Other
wise, if it lias been the result of the licentious exer
cise of sin deputed to human nature, wo say you, in
the name of everything that is sacred and honorable
among men, to come and own thy helpless innocent
babe, and go they way and sin no more.
On tnkiug his leave of absence Burwcll Bratcher

bo raised, lie wanted to raise it himself. I have writ
ten tliis alono for the cause of injured innocence and
suffering virtue, and it shall ever reach the eyes of
those for whom it is intended. I will bo amply com

the abiding testimony of an approving conscience,

Death of Wllllnzn Dell, Eaq.
We record, with deep and sincere regret, tbe de
mise of this estimable man and useful citizen. Ho
died of paralysis or apoplexy, or a combination of the
two, on Monday last, at Ills residence in this city. He
was a Brick Mason, by trade, and ranked among the
mrst respectable, intelligent]and tuccessful of our
mechanics. Having accumulated a largo fortuue, he
purchased an extensive planting interest, in St.
James’, Goose Creek, and engaged largely in brick-
making and the culture of rice. He served in the
City Council, and was for a numbey ol years a Com
missioner in the Orphan House, in which institution
and its fatherless inmates, ho took a deep and benevo
lent Interest. For a groat many years, lie was a Di
rector in the Planters A Mechanic's Bank; and con
tinued Ids active usefulness, iu Ids various stations,
in public and private life, until he was suddenly
struck down by the hands of disease and tho sevthe
of death—that terrible mower, whonn»ke9no distinc
tion of porsous, but visits, with ono event, tho whole

The Fikuy Ordeal.—Towards the end of the Greek
Empire, at Constantinople, a general, who was an ob
ject of suspicion to his master, was urged to undergo
the fiery proof of the ordeal by ail arch-bishop, a sub
tle courtier. Tho ceremony was tlius : Three days
before the trial, the patient's arm was enclosed in a
bag and secured by the royal signet; he was expect-
Jffeto beai a red hot ball or iron three times from the
KUr to tfce rails of the sanctuary without artifice or
injury. Tho general eluded tho experiment, with
E leasantiy. “ I am a soldier," said ho, “ and will
oldly enter the list* with my nccuscrs ; but a lay
man, a sl.incr like myself, is not endowed with the
gift of miracles. Your piety, holy prelate, may dc-
Bervo tlw interposition of Heaven, and from your
hands I will receive the fiery globe, tho test of my
innocence.” The arch-bishop stared, the emperor
smiled, ind tho general was pardoned.
Think.—Did yon ever think ? There arc men who
spend their lives without thinking nr reflecting.—
Wnen they speak, thoy utter but the most common
place ideas, which are iu every body's mouth. No
thing sew or startling comes from them. People
mny not present new truths, but may produce old
ones in a new garb. Reflection will enable them to
do this. How few of all tliat live and breathe, are
really mpableof imparting information and instruc
tion. Tho reason is obvious. It is not because they
have small minds or arc dull of comprehension. It
is becnu.M they do not think. They never set them
selves down to reflect and meditate. Are you of tliat
numbtr? Can you impart no instruction by your
voice or pen ? No wonder you feel ashamed of yonr
ignorance. Let this bo a moment of reflection—of
deep, serious thought—so that the future, like the
past, »iay not be a blank in your history.
Some years ago, a chap in a town in the Rtate of
Maine, having played the " gay gallant” a littlo too
freely to a distiller's daughter—quite overstepping
the modesty of nature—was called to account by the
old gentleman, who demanded sharply, “ what ex
cuse he had for such condnct?" “Nothing," was
the reply," but oxubemneo of spirits." •* Is that all,
you graceless scamp?" rejoined the old fellow, ns he
brought ids cane down on the floor with terrible om-
phisis, “ then, let mo tell you, sir, the sooner you get
them rectified tho better.”
A Rare Case.—A gentlemen who is engaged In
selling the books of n firm once doing a largo mercan
tile business in Pittsburg, but—of which both tho
original partners are now sleeping quietly in their
cemetery vaults, was called on, on Friday, by a gen
tleman from the South, who camo to pay principal
and interest, amounting to $600, of a debt contracted
in 1819, by a merchant of Vicksburg, Miss., who had
failed subsequently, and was supposed to bo lost past
all hope. He has oecn recently enriched by the rapid
rise or some cotton lands which he had purchased,
and is now paving off old liabilities, here and at the
■East, amounting to reven thousand dollars. Hi*

Tiie Sorrowful Tree.—At Goa, nenr Bombay,
there is a singular vegetable—tho sorrowful tree—so
called because it only nourishes in the night. At sun
set no flowers are to ho seen, and yet, half an hour
after it is quite full of them. They yield a sweet smell,
but the sun no sooner shines upon them than some of
them fall off, and others closo up ; and thus it con
tinues flowering in tho night all the year.
r Sheep Raising in Virginia.—It is stated that
there has been a larger number of sheep brought into
Loudon county, Vrt., this year, than for several years
past, and that there are now about 10,000 lino wool
sheep in Fairfax county, which number is being con
stantly Increased. The great demand tor wool has
lndaced many of the Virginia farmers to pay more
than nsual attention to sheep grazing.—Petersburg
Intelligencer.
Gored to Death.—A mnn named Tlireehonse,
near Burlington, Vt., entered his barn yard on the
morning or tho 2d. and was instantly attacked by a
four year old bull. Tbreehouso, being a muscular
young man of about twenty-four, seized the animal
by the horns, but was tossed and bruised somo fifteen
minutes, and died tho following afternoon.
A young man in an mlJoinliig town, says n Chicago
