fha Ictdlartonra mule by iht Whig* la the late
cteoUota. <»ta Orat aoir pendtaRtaOeorgta,) U the
character of Qonerel Pauics’a appointments, North
M d Sooth, Eut and Wwt, the obaagt* hate boon
rune upon the charge that the object* of hU peculiar
favor are, and haw been, Abolltlonlita and Becca-
BiooixUI And the people were begged, Implored,
entreated, to rebuke him at the ballot box. Bo wild
with excitement became hU enemies that they aotn*
ally penoaded themaelvea that what they ao much
desired was being done. The New York Courier and
Enquirer announced: " In the meantime there ap*
pear* to be a general felling away from the Presi
dent.” The Savannah Republican harping upon the
string to which we have alluded, said tola appoint-
menu had driven off thousands of Pimroi’s former
political friends " so that he might be said to be a
President without a party." Well, what is the ver
dict which the people have rendered In this action of
the Whigs versus the President? We will refer to
their deotsion in a few 8Utes which have lately held
elections: the Issue everywhere being Purob’b Ap-
polntmenta—denounced by Whlga: defended by Dem
ocrats.
Virginia led off by electing a friend of the adminis
tration In every Congressional District in that glori
ous old State. ;
North Carolina, one of Whlggery’s strong holds,
followed, electing five Democrats (we claim Clino-
iiah,) and three Whlga to represent her In the next
Congress. And one of the throe is only elected be*
oause the Democratic vote (nearly double hla own)
was divided between two Democratic candidates.
Alabama has elected six friends of Piescb, and bat
one opponent.
Kentucky 1 yes, the Whig State of Kentucky, one
of the four that voted against tho President, now
sends a delegation, one half of whose members are
hla ardent supporters.
Tennessee, one of the other three that felled to sus
tain him last fall, has now repented, and by the elec
tion of the administration candidate for Qorcrnor,
has pronounoed her verdict »rt favor of Pierce.
That will do " for a President without a party.”—
So much for Whig abase and Whig curses.
The only two States that now stand out clearly in
opposition to the administration, are the abolition
strong holds of Vermont and Massachusetts. Are
not our Whig friends asking a little too much when
they require Georgia to take her place with them, so
as to make the number three ? The joke is really
Tlcb. Not Georgia beg* to bo excused from that en
tertainment. She will, by the election of Judge
Johnson, a friend of the administration, show her
continued confidence in him to whom she gave her
vote, by an immense majority for President, lost No
vember. She chose Johnson as an elector then—she
will choose him as her Governor now. Jenkins she
refbsed to sustain, when a candidate for the Vice-
Presidency—(his votes were few indeed.) She will
not now make him her Chief Magistrate.
Mr. Bartow's Oratory*
It seems to ns that Mr_ Bartow’s friends are rather
unfortunate in the selection of an example of bis leg
islative prowess. They point us to " the eloquent,
the brilliant speech ” which he made in advocacy of
nn appropriation by the State to aid in tho extension
of the South-western Railroad. On that occasion we
are told that he " entirely tclipstd the member from
Thomas.” His speech “ was the universal theme of
praise throughout the House of Representatives,”
Ac., Ac., Ac.
Will the reader believe that Immediately after this
much lauded speech the vote was taken, and the bill
lost ? Mr. Babtow’s eloquence fell upon bis hearers
as “ Bonndipg brass ■ and a tinkling oymbal.” His
auditors admired it but were not persuaded by it.—
Now we think If he had succeeded in commending
bis cauM-mort, and-btaeelf less, to the admiration of
bis hearers, his achievement would have been much
more satisfactory to the parties interested la the ex
tension of the road.
There Is a species of oratory which wins our admi
ration for the prater bnt not our support for his meas
ure. We wonder at his fluency, and admire hla sil
very tones, bis graceful diction, his melodious and
swelling periods—listen to him as to tbosub'Imist
music, and when he has finished say how handsome
ly he has acquitted bimsclt—and vote against his
bill, or convict bis client. Qn the other band, there
is oratory—no,ft Is not thought worthy of that name
—it is only plain, direct, simple, earnest, cogent, fer
vid . reasoning; every word reaches the understand
ing and goes home to the heart. In listening we
never think of admiring the speaker, never ask our
selves whether he Is awkward or graceful, fluent or
hesitating. Bat we feel as he feels, think as
thinks, and when ho sits down we vote as he votes—
if legislators, or if jurors, say “ the prisoner is not
gailty.”
Mr. Bartow la a gentleman whose oratory would
any where elicit admiration,but whether in the halls
of Congress it would be found effective we very much
doubt. That a Representative of laborious business
habits, fruitful in resources aad expedients, practical
in bis effort* and unflagging in his energies—such a
man as we believe Col. Seward to be—would accom
plish more for his constituent* while be would per
haps acquire leu admiration for himself—we think
Ukely. Add to this the immense advantage which
Col. Seward would have in being a member of the
majority and a supporter of the administration, and
wc cannot donbt the interests of this district require
his election.
•* He newer Went to School."
Such is the language in which the organ of Mr. Bar
tow, sneers at Col. Seward’s waut of tho early edu-
catlonal advantages, which wealth gives to the sons
of the rich and the fortunate. 11 This,” we are told by
it," is the very best reason why he should not go to
Congress.”
Indeed 1 Col. Seward’s parents were too poor to
Bend him to college. He was left like some of the
wisest and worthiest who have adorned our country’s
history to educate himself.' This in the opinion of the
Republican, la the best reason why he should not go
to Congress ?
Have we in this land of professed, and we bad sup
posed real, Republicanism reached the time when
none but college-bred gentlemen are worthy of office 1
Are the sons of the'poor who grow np without the
advantage of schools—left like Col Seward to edu
cate themselves by their own uninstructed efforts—
are they to be told, no matter what talent* God may
have given them, no matter bow laboriously and with
what struggles they may have improved those tal
ent*, yet If they " never'went to school ” after ten
years of age," they can’t go to Congress ?” They are
to be told, " High office Is not for sucb a* yon. Yon
mast stand back.for frpbr betters—your superiors—
men who have fciett accomplished by the training of
schools and colleges'.”
How will the plain people of this District, hundreds
of whom are unable to provide school and college ed
ucation for their sons, like to have it proclaimed to
them that those sons, whatever their merits may here
after prove to be—however much they may, by their
own efforts, improve themselves—yet not having gone
to school, they can’t go to Congress ? They must be
kept down through life 1
And here let ns say it la not a fact, as obarged, that
Col. Sbwabd "boasted, with egotistic emphasis,”
that he " never went to school.” Apologising for the
embarrassment under which he manifestly labored, In
his address to the very large audienoe which greeted
him In Barsnnah, he mentioned as a matter of re
gret, not of boasting, his want of early advantages.
For oar part, we envy not the man who could make
the confession of snob a misfortune, the subject of bis
flippant sneers.

Factory Labor In Rhode Island.
The recent passage of an act by the Rhode Island
Legislature, making ten hours a logoi day’s work, is
creating considerable disturbance among the manu
facturing villages of that State. Upon tho day on
whloh the law went into operation many of the fac
tories dosed, the proprietors not being willing to
have the law obeyed. A convention of manufactur
ers haaaince been held at Providence, and it was de
cided by them that the operatives should bargain to
labor nine hours on Saturdays, and twelvo hours du
ring the other working days of tho week, or they
would not give them employment.—Slate of Maine.

From the Fishing Gronmls—Helxnre of an
American Fishing Vessel.
Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 22.
The schooner Roslna,froih the bay of St. Lawrenco
which arrived in this port this morning, reports that
the schooner Star Light, of Gloucester, wo* captured
by the British war steamer Devastation on the Gth
inst., when fifty miles above Gasp, and carried into
that place.
The Devastation, previous to the capture, passed
by a fleet of vessels, and proceeded to tue Star Light,
which was lying becalmed with another vessel. The
former was seised, while the latter was suffered to
go unmolested.
The 8tar Light is o new vessel, valued at $5,500,
and belonged to Mr. H. Steele. She has on board at
the time of capture two hundred aud fifty barrels of
mackerel.
Captain Howard, of the Rostna, states that he was
informed that two armed American vessels lmd pass
ed through the Gnt of Conso, but he saw nothing of
them.

. The Yellow Fever at Natchez—Over Two
Hundred Deaths,
Natchez, Miss., Aug. 20.
The yellow fever has existed in this city for several
days, having, it is supposed, been brought here by
sorno vessel from New Orleans. Up to tbo present
writing, upward of two hundred deaths have taken
E laco; the excitement is very great. Many persona
ave left the city, and others are leaving. A large
building has been provided, which is to be used as a
hospital for the indigent sick.
The authorities navo pronounced tho fever to bo
epidemic.
Yellow Fever lit Mobile.
The Board of health has already Informed the pnb-
lio that the yellow fever exists among us. We shall
endeavor, while it lasts, to keop our readers accurate-
lyfadvised of it* progress, so that thero will be no oc
casion for tho usual exaggerations in regard to It.—
We see nothing to bo gained and much to be lost by
concealments or misrepresentations.
Wo may state, on the best of authority, that the
type of the disease is entirely unlike that which is
now prevailing in New Orleans. Thero it was mark
ed at first, and is now, by great mortality—one per
haps out of six or ten casus only being within the
reach of curative means. Here not one in ten
but that yields to them. We know of five of our most
respectable physicians who have, perhaps, In the ag
gregate, twenty cases, and there is no danger in any
of them of a fatal termination. One of these gentle
men, who lias had much experience in treating the
disease, assures us that he ha* never.seen it develop
ed In a form bo mild and manageable.
There is no reason for alarm. Within our own
knowledge some of the fatal cases—perhaps all of
them—have been owing either to gross imprudence
or to neglect until tho disease was beyond the reach
of medicine. As it is now, it is not more serious in
Ite nature than the ordinary bilious fever, and may
bo managed as readily, if tho proper remedies be ad
ministered without .delay.
Whether our spinion as to tho fntnre extent and
fatality of tho disease be true or not; will be shown
within a few day's. Until then, there can be no dan
ger, where ordinary prudence Is used.—Tribune.
Needful Caution to Steamboat Captnlua,
Mates, Clerks, etc.
It is, perhaps, not generally Known, that tho law
of all the Slave States, holds tho officers of all boats
carrying passengers, responsible for the genuineness
of the ticket or other paper, by whicli a slave may
obtain passage in such bout. If such slave thereby
escape, and the ticket or other paper prove to be a
forgery, the owners of the boat may be compelled to
respond iu damages to the owner of the slave, and
the captain or other officer who was deceived, may
also be subjected to a harassing and vexatious crimi
nal prosecution. We have heard that the owners of
•a boat line from Charleston and also from Savannah,
have lately experienced some Blight loss from trust
ing to forged tickets. The Memphis paper* also
state that one Captain Timms, of the steamboat Au-
rilla Wood,ha* been bound over to answer criminal
ly for a like default. He is represented to bo a South
erner above suspicion, and yet he is to be prosecuted,
and may be fined for tbo carelessness or criminality
of the under officer wbo admitted the slave on board.
We would suggest as a proper guard against every
danger of this sort, that our steamboat line* take no
colored persons on board unless vouched for by a re
sponsible white person, or by a hand-writing well
known to some officer of the boat.—Ch. Standard.
Novel Mode of Getting Passengers up and
flown tl»e Ohio River.
Boats now plying on the Ohio river, below Louis-
ville.take a lighter in tow, and a* the majority take
no freight—nothing but passengers—they manage
pretty well to lighten over tho most difficult bars,
after the following fashion :
Just before reaching a bar the lighter is hauled for
ward, opposite the boilers. Ladies and gentleman
are politely requested by the steward, who carries a
bell, to " walk overboard.” " Everybody overboard,”
re-echoes the sturdy mates of the forecastle, aud over
board every live passenger goes ; not into tbo river,
but Into tbo flat or wood boat alongside. It i* then ta
ken in at the stein of the stcamor, and after crossing
the shoal, the word is given for" everybody to get on
board,” and accordingly the passenger* scramble
back to the steamboat. Three or four bars in tbe
distance of 160 mile* are crossed in this way, after
which tbe lighter is cost loose for some other boat
bound up or down, as the caso may he.-St, Louis
News. .
Important Commercial Decisions.
At tho last term of the Supreme Court of this
State, a case of novelty and great commercial Inter
est waa decided. A negotiable note was purchased
in Mobile by Mr. Westfeldt, the maker* of which
lived in Sumter and Mobile couuties. Jt appears that
prior to tho purchase, certain persons wno lived in
Sumter, and who claimed to be creditors of an insol
vent bank in Mississippi, filed their bill in tbe Chan
cery Court of Sumter, to which tbe maker* of the
note and certain other persona who, it was charged,
held the note in trust for the said Mississippi bank,
were made parties, and upon which an injunction re
straining the negotiation and payment of tbe note,
was granted against tho defendant. ,
The evidence in the case showed that Mr; Wertfcldt
purchased the note before maturity,and fora.valnable
consideration, without any notice, in feet, of the pen
dency of said bill, or that there waa any claim out
standing against said note. Bnt the proceedings in
Chancery snowed that the bill was filed and an in
junction granted and served in Sumter before tbe
purchase waa made in Mobllo.
Tbe ease was triod before tbe Circuit Conrt at Mo
bile. The counsel for Westfeldt contended that, while
it may be admitted, as a general rnlo, that the pen
dency of a suit withdraws the subject matter, and
prevents its sale or transfer, except subject to tbe
operation of the docree to be rendered in the came,
yet that the safety of commercial transactions re-
a uircs that negotiable paper should be excluded from
s operation. On the other eido it was contended
that tbe rale Is of universal application. There was
a Judgment for tbe plaintiff below, and at tho late
term the Supreme Conrt affirmed this judgment.
Tims an important principle has been decided in
favor of commercial dealings, and it Is somewhat re
markable, as we learn from tbe learned and lncid
brief of Col. Phillips, which has been printed in this
city, that no express adjudication has heretofore been
made on tbe subject, either in this country or Eng
land.
The case waa argued for the plaintiff by P. Phil
lips, and for tbe defendant by Messrs. A. F. Hopkins
and W.G. Jones.—Mobile Tribune.

Foots In the British A American Iron Trade.
There Is a general firmness In the British Iron mar
ket, Tho prices for common bar have advanced from
£4 6s. to £8 per ton, and the prices tor refined have
appreciated relatively. Scotch pig and other favorite
brands command 60s. sterling per ton. The present
stock of pig metal In Scotland la about 100,Q0Q tons;
less than usual at this season. Tbe American sea
board is quite bare or Scotch pig, which is quick at
$35 per ton, 6 months.
In Railroad Iron tbo advance is remarkable. Ralls
am very firm at £0 por ton. Although new mills may
Ijo started, yet lust in proportion as they withdraw
B ig metal from its usual course for foundry purposes,
icy raise tho price of nig metal.
British hills cannot be laid down in our north-wes
tern Interior at less tiian $81) |»er ton. There is every
probability that merchant iron must rule veiy high.
We are told that many of the manufacturers in
Great Britain havo determined to blow ont their far-,
nnces rather than submit to tho demands of their
workmen. A nnmber of furnaces have already been
blown out In Wales.
Since 1860, tho projection of railways has extended
into almost every country of Europo. Late in that
year, when rails were selling in wales at the enor
mous loss on the piece of £4 16s., tho Emperor oi
Russia ordered 140,000 tons of rails in one purchase.
France, Austria. Russia, Central Germany, and even
Spain and Italy began to lay rails. Norway has Just
completed her first railroad. Denmark is making a
lino of nearly 500 miles through Finland. India,
Egypt and Brazil have come in for their fair share.—
N. Y. Express.
The Slave Trade.
Tho Captain-Gcueral of Cuba ha* sent an agent,
Senor Torriente, to England, to give tho British Gov
ernment assurances that more vigilance shall be ob
served in puttingdown tbe slave trade. He has also,
we are assured, removed from office Col. Pantaleon
Lopez Aylion,Lleut.-Governor of Pinar de Rio, for
want of vigilance in the case of the slave ship Jasper.
He has sent no fewer than four different commissions
to Pinar del Rio and Bailee, to institute inquiries as
to the landing of tho slaves from tbe Jasper, all of
which, however, returned to Havana, declaring that
no such vessel or slaves ever had arrived at tho place
indicated. He charged, we also learn, that his pre
vious secretary, Gallano, (a very able officer, by the
way, who is now in SpaJn under expectation or pro
motion,) with being responsible for the number of
slaves formerly imported. Col. Reyes, L!ent.-Gover-
nor of Cienfuegoa, has also been dismissed bis office,
for receiving bribes from Julian Julneta, in the case
of the Lady Suffolk, but Mr. Julian Zuluqta himself
is uliowed to remain arrested at bis own house, in
stead of the Fort Cabana, under-tho plea of ill health.
Tiie Captain-General says also that the slave trade
shall be put down, and he has this time, and for the
first tiino, pretty well succeeded in convincing Mr.
Crawford, the British Consul, that he is in earnest,
as also Mr. G.’s very vigilant secretary, Sidney Smith,
who so writes to this city.—N. Y. Express.
German Immigrant*.
The emigration from Germany to the United States
increases rapidly everv year, as Is shown by the offi
cial returns ; during the coming year it is likely to
be greater than ever. A letter in tho N. Y. Evening
Post, from Hellbronc, Wirtemburg, written by a na
tive German, who lias resided in this country for
twenty years, savs :
" Every steamboat that leaves my native city, takes
away numbers of emigrants. They go by various
routes. Bremen is the cheapest, the fare being only
35 guilders, or 14 dollars from Manheirato New York,
for steerage passage. By tbo Havre route it ranges
from 45 to GO guilders—by way of London, the same.
All classes of society emigrate now. Two sons of a
wealthy family leave to-morrow, both excellent young
men, of fine appearance, and bearing tbe bcstcnnrac-
tors. Tho government here have lately taken much
interest in the fate of tho emigrants on tbe Journey,
and have to some extent bettered their condition.—
Emigrant axents must deposit security bonds for 10,
000 guilders, so that tnere may be redress in
case of fraud, and they are individually responsible
for the whole contract from here to New York.
" By far the greatest number of emigrants go to the
United States through New York. From Hamburg
and Bremen, however, many go to South America,
both on the Pacific and Atlautic sides—many servant
girls emigrate, and In consequence wages for female
help have risen here.
*• The King, as ho passed to the river yesterday,
a visit to this city, saw at every corner largo plucards,
announcing shipping opportunities for America, by
the various agents, representing many lines. I saw
hiin eye one one with much attention. I trust he
read the lesson right, which spoke to him serious, so
ber truth, while his ears were saluted with firing of
cnnnnd, martial music and loud huzzas of cringing
officials.”

Cholera In Cuba—the Sugar Crop. &c.
Havana, August 13, 1853.—The complaint has
been very general through the sugar growing dis
tricts, that the cane was being impaired and losing
strength of shoot fur want of rain. The appearance
of the weather in this vicinity would indicate tbut the
hopes of the planter were not to bo cut off for this
cause ; hut the showers we have, may be conlled to
the coast, and uot reach the impoj^ant producing dis
tricts.
The cholera seems to be tbo most effective agent of
evil for the agricultural industry at this time as es
tates are losing hall of their forces in the course of
four or five days—and it is said to be of more malig
nant tvpe than in 1832-33,
Owing to the small list of vessels in oar port, it
has been impossible to effect any transactions of im
portance in our sugar market, although the disposi
tion of holders has very materially relaxed from their
demands of last week. Bnt in vain sheir yielding
the point. Speculators will hot touch the trade, un
til they can have assurance of carriage. There have
been three consecutive days in the past week, wiien
we were without a' free vessel on the north side of
Cuba, which has not occurred before for the last
seven years, at so early a date.
A planter to-day has informed me that out of 240
negroes he hud upon ids estate, when last heard from,
100 were left.—a difference of three days,—and the
probability of still greater loss. We have in Havana
and among tiio shipping in port, less sickness than
is usual in the winter. The diseaso seem to be con
fined to the interior, and to the blacks, which may be
attributable to manner of living, and constant expos
ure.
Speech from nit Indian.
At a recent council of Indians of different tribes,
held near Fort Smith, Arkansas, Par-he-yokah, a
Camaucbe chief, delivered the following speech, and
the Fort Smith Herald says it is a fair specimen of
the whole of the speeches made on the occasion. We
could name some speakers nearer home who might
tuke a lesson in moderation aud charity from the Ca
in an die chief:
Par-lie-yokah said: " The Great Spirit, I have no
doubt, is very glad to see so many Indians of different
nations to meet together for the purpose of establish
ing peace, aud give their pledge to each other to live
by It forever. I atn vey happy, Indeed, to see aud
meet with my Eastern brothers In council. We older
men know correctly for what these nations of differ
ent tongues convoked, and we are glad that the peace,
rarely known among us, U established for our good.
It is our duty to teach our younger people, who do
not understand the transactions to-day, the true mean-
lug or our council j and let our rising generations bo
trained up and grow fast in this great white talk we
are receiving to-day. Brothers, our lives are not in
our hands; we cannot last always, tbe Great Spirit
will call ns awoy some day, and will put somebody in
our stead. 1 consider this talk to be like the roots of
grass that in every Spring the green and beautiful
blades will shoot out and blossoms of sweet odor, but
the Autumnal moon will come and bite them off with
its white teeth, but it has no effect on the roots. It
is just so with ns, we cannot die with this talk.—
While we live, we make this talk Bweet to our people
uronnd our council fires, but after we are gone, tula
talk still survives, and still has its oedorous smells to
ail united natters. (Here be held up his right hand
toward Heaven.) May the Great Spirit sanction our
doings to-day, »nd faithfully make us keep this good
talk given ns from our brothers at the rising sun?’

The New Haven Palladium says that Mr. Snell, •
pilot of New London, has been fined $12,000 for aid-

Nor is this all. The great bulk of enterprises that
fall owe their ruin to not having boon begun right—
A business is undertaken without suffiolont capital,
connexion,or knowledge. Iteudsunfavorably. Why?
Because it was not begun right. A young profession
al man, whose probationary period of study has been
Buont in plvanure rather than In bard reauing, com
plains that. he cannot succeed. Why. again ? Be
cause ho has not begun right either I A stock com
pany blowB np. Still why ? Ten to one, the ineaus
employed'we re not adequate to the end, or else it
was started with inefficient officers, and in either case
it was not begun right. The young housekeepers
breakup their gay establishment, the lady going
home, perhaps to her father’s, taking her husband
with her. Why? They did not begin right, for
they commenced on too large ascale, forgetting that
tho expenses of a family increaso every year, and
that, in ho event, is It safe for a man to live np to
his income. An inventor starts a manufactory, in
which his Improvements in machinery Ib brought in
to play ; but after awhile he finds himself insolvent;
ids factory is sold ; another reaps where lie has sown.
Why ? Alas 1 like too many otbors, ho has underta
ken more than he has means to carry through ; he
did not begin right; aud his ruin was tho consequence.
But above all things, life should bo begun right.—
Young men rarely know how much their conduct,
during their first lew years, affects their subsequent
success. It is not only that older persons, iu the same
business, from their opinions uf them at this time, but
that every beginner acquires, during these yean*,
habit* for good or ill which color his whole future ca
reer. We have seen some of the ablest young men,
with every advantage of fortune and friends, sow the
seeds to ruin and early death, by indulging too freely
in tho first years of manhood. We have seen others,
with far less capacity, nnd without any backing bnt
industry and energy, rise gradually to fortuno and
influence. Franklin is a familiar illustration of what
a man can do who begins right. If ho had been too
proud to eat rolls In the street when ho was a poor
boy, he would uever had been minister plenipotentia
ry to the court of France.
Always begin right i Survey tho whole ground be
fore yon commence any undertaking, and ynn will
then be prepared to go forward successfully. Neglect
this, however, and yon are almost sure to fall. In
other words, begin right. A good commencement i«
half the battle. A false first step is almost certain de
feat. Begin Rioht 1
“ Prerentlre at Mosquito Bites."

The Belgian Law of Divorce!
Some years since, a young Belgian ludy, fresh from
her convent education, appeared in society, captiva
ted a young fellow-countryman, with well oiled hair
and patent leather boots, and after an acquaintance
of a few weeks married him. The happy pair so
journed, ns is often tho custom abroad, with the father
and mother ol the lady. The young wife was a gav
lady, and the young husband was quite as gay a lord.
At every ball and party iu the capital they were pre
sent ; and as married ladies are especially selected
by continental gentlemen for what they call " adora
tion,” the young wife, although she got no more of
it than she liked, was honored with considerably more
than pleased her husband. The latter remonstrated,
the lady rebelled, and " my wife’s mother” supported
her daughter. Tho husband settled tho matter by
putting on his hat and retiring to his own paternal
mansion. The martial feud was now intense, and the
conjugal couple were only of the same mind touching
one single subject—application to the|tribunalH for a
divorce. This was done ; but the Belgian law will
allow of no such annulling of a marriage contract,
until tbe angry parties shall have renewed their de
mand for a divorce every year for three years. Our
a couple nourished their wrath during this tri-
period of probation—thrice made the demand
—and we to duly announced last year to bear consent
given that they who bad been made one henceforth
and forever, remain two. From opposite sides of the
court the married pair witnessed the untying of the
knot; and, when they were free,they passed out at
the common portal into the public street. Apuroxi-
nmtion fired friendship, and the gentleman offered his
hand to tho lady, in token that there was no malice
between them. Friendship had no sooner lit his
torch than ho illumined tfio slumbering clndera on
the chilled altar of love; and the young couple
walked together to their married home, whence tho
husband lias never since permanently withdrawn.
A Co temporary of John Wesley.
A correspondent of the New York Christian Ad
vocate 4* Journal says that " William Sing, bom in
England, June 4th, 1702, now iu his 02d yeur, lives in
that city, and is smart and well. Ho, on several oc
casions, listened to tho preaching of John Wesley,
near 70 years since. He has belonged to ths church
65 years.” Dr. Boyd, the editor of the Advocate,
very properly requests that some competent scribe
aliali at once proceed to record the verbal testimony
of tills aged person.
If a boy of twelve, who witnessed the crucifixion
of our Saviour, lmd, when 02, related it to a boy of
twelve, and he to another in like manner, and so
another down to tho present moment, there would be
but 21 messengers between him who witnessed the
Hcenc and those to whom the narrative would at this
day be communicated. This should make us realize
a closer vicinage to that great era than we usually do.
A more reliable medium, however, than the remem
brance of evou tho wisest and best of men, was chos
en by the Almighty to perpetrate tho history of that
time, and few who examine it ever doubt of its ou
tlie n tlcity.—Rollimore Clipper.
Lightning.—Wo publish the following as appro
priate to tho present season :
"Mr. E. Meriatn, of New York, a distinguished
scientific writer and practical philosopher, says that
persons struck by lightning should not bo given up
ns dead for at least three hours. During the first
two hours they should be drenched freely with cold
water, and if this falls to produce respiration, then
odd salt aud continue, tho drenching for another
hour.”
Exodds op Indiana Neoroks.—The Cincinnati
Commercial says that the wharves of that city arc
alive with negro families, with their household goods,
recently landed from some ol the lower river or Madi
son Btearaera. They are moving from Indiana in
consequence of tho enactment* of tbe Legislature
enforcing tho 18tli article of the new constitution of
that State. All persona whose mothers are unable to
prove tbo possession of a greater portion than one-
sixteenth of European blood, and who came into
Hooslerdom since Nov.1851, are forced to take up
their beds—If they have any—and walk. All ne
groes, mulnttocB, quadroons, Ac., who can prove a
residence in tho State prior to Nov. 1,1851, are al
lowed to .remain under oertain conditions, and by
registering their nameayvitb the county clerk. Any
person who employs a negro who is in the State, con
trary to tho new law, is liable to a fine uot less than

Method op Detecting Counterfeit Silver Coin.
—Ha piece of silver bo'dipped into a solution of
chromate of potash, decomposed by sulphuric-acid,
(thirty^two parts by weight of water, three of chn*
mate of potash ana four of sqlpharic acid,) the parts
of the silver immersed in thesolution, quickly assume
a Durple color. The cholorlng is deeper and more
lively when the silver is quite pure, and diminishes iu
proportion to the quantity of alloy mixed with it.—
Of coarse this process will not hold good when a
coating of silver has been deposited on a piece of
white metal, Ac.; in auch cases as plated or electro-
typed articles, for Instance, a portion or the coating
must be filed off; upon trial by tills process, the Ger-
man sliver will remain of a. white color. No other
metals give the Barae color as silver when submitted
to this test; copper, zinc, Ac., are acted upon by the
solution, bnt not colored as in the case of silver—

If a well-bred woman is surprised in careless cost
ume, she does not try to dodge behind a door to con
ceal deficiencies, nor does she turn red nnd stammer
confused excuses. She remains calm and aelf-poa-
sessed, and makes up in dignity what she may wont
in decoration. The most sensible woman we ever
saw was one who, when her husband took ns home
qn a wash-day to look at his new honse, never made
one word of apology for the confusion that existed,
nor once begged ns not to look round—Carpet Rag.
A Gdiltt Conscience—When Dr. Donne, after
wards Dean of Bt. Paul’s, took possession of his first
living, os he walked Into the churchyard he took up
a skull thrown by the sexton out of the grave, and in
it found a small headless nail, which he drew oat se
cretly, and wrapt it in tbe corner of his handkerchief.
He then asked the grave-digger if be knew whose the
skull was. He replied that it was the skull of a per
son who kept a spirit shop, and who, having gone to
bed intoxicated, was found dead in bis bed iu tho
morning.
" Haa he a wife ?” askod the doctor. " Yea ” What
character did she bear ?” " A very good one; only
tbe neighbors reflect on hep, because she married the
day after her husband’s burial.”
A few days afterwards tbe doctor paid her a visit,
if by accident: askod her some questions, and, at
it, or what sickness her former husband died. As

a hts at the bpst time for sowing. J. Towers, a
il English gardener, pursues tbe following meth
od, which. if round useful .la that humid climate,
would doubtless be of much greeter advantage nnder
our parching sun. He first thoroughly eoske with a
fine roso watering pot the entire space to bo eeeded—
this is done at sunset, and the surface covered with
mats all night, until late the next afternoon, when
tho watering and covering is again repeated, and so
on for threo successive days. By this time the soil is
brought to a flue, friable, quite moist condition, when
drills arc drawn, a watering given along each, the
seed then sown and covered with the screened earth.
Every good seed will grow without failure, and with
no appearance ol the unevenness so common with dry
weather sowing. Superficial watering, as is common
ly practised at this season, is perfectly futile, and
soaking the seed merely will be of little use. A very
weak solution of guano, or of sapor-phosphate of
lime, may be used for moisting the drills— Cultiva

• Fires—There can bo no doubt but that incendia
ries are in town. On Friday night, a stable on the

out bouse In the rear of Mr. J. B. Strappers was con
sumed. On 8unday night, another on the river bank
was set on fire and burnt. The object or the Incendi
aries, it seems, is not to do damage so much as to call
public attention away to a nurticuliar point so that
they may curry out some hidden scheme. We are

Precocious—A lad, a day or two since, was call

Yellow Fever.—The Board of Health reported
nine interments on yesterday, seven of which were of

poorer class of our population—those who are with
out the means of obtaining that attention which the

in the appearance of the disease hero to create alarm,
as it has assumed a mild and manageable form, and
with the present cleanly condition of our city, it seems
very unlikely that it will progress to any great ex-
tout.—Mobile News, 20/ft.
Boston—This city actually covers more territory
