AGENTS FOR THE MISCELLANY. Wo are desirous of procuring local Agents in Sa vannah and Macon. To any active, responsible per son who would use some exertion to extend our circu lation in those cities, liberal inducements would be of fered. TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS. Right gladly do we welcome our esteemed friend and correspondent “11. R. J.” to the columns of the Mis cellany, His prompt and generous response, is not more grateful to our feelings than are his warm ex pressions of sympathy and condolence for our late misfortunes and bereavement. We are under the necessity of again crowding out the “ Fath of Life.’’ We cannot always find room for the matter we have in type. It shall appear next week. The letter from the Indian Springs, by “ A Looker on in Venice,” is unaccompanied by the name of the au'hor. In all cases where characters and interests are concerned we must adhere to our rule. We have several promises, some of old standing, from friends whose performances we would prize above price, which we will dispose of for almost anything. Wc acknowledge the receipt of a copy of Rev. Mr. Pierce’s Address, from a member of the Phi Gama Society. A few clays must bring us important news from Washington. The fate of the iarifif Biff must soon be decided, as Con gress cannot protract its session much long er. The house passed a resolution to ad journ on Monday the 29th ultimo, which was rejected by the Senate. It was ex pected to adjourn on Wednesday. Fears are entertained that it will be dissolved by the withdrawel of members, without an ad journment. In other words that it will break up in a row. So we go. What may we not expect next 1 FRESHETS. 1 lie papers contain accounts of freshets in Marryland, District Columbia, and the Upper portion of South Carolina. At Wash ington, from the overflowing of “ angry Ti the whole of Pennsylvania Ave nue was inundated, bridge carried away, cellars filled, and much damage done to pro perty ip them and on tho first floors of the ‘"luses. In Baltimore, the basin rose to an farming height, overflowing the wharves an d part of the town, doing damage to the amount of upwards of an hundred thousand dollars. At Columbia and Camden, S. C., the river overflowed its banks, doing great damage to the swamp plantations below. It 13 stated that many planters “ have lost eve ry tiling.” (£?“ In our last we published an account of recent Indian murdersin Florida, in which it was stated that a party of volunteers, un der Colonels W. and W. J. Bailey, were in pursuit of the Indians. We learn by the last Floridian, that the volunteers have over taken the enemy, “ flogged the murdering party, killed eight in battle, and took one prisoner, whom they hung, and were in hot pursuit of the residue. It is said they were overtaken in Madison county, near the coast, on their way in to the regulars.” We hope this may prove true —not always the case with Florida news. (t? 3 The principal merchants of Macon have published a card in the papers of that city, in which they state that having been secured by the pledge of property by the City Council to the amount of seventy-sev en thousand dollars, they will receive the change bills of that corporation at par, in all the transactions of trade. 05 s * A gentleman residing at Social Cir cle, Walton county, has sent us the follow ing particulars with the request that we will publish them, and also request its circulation through the press, in order that whatever light they may throw upon what now seems a dark mystery, may be given to* the public. The circumstances would seem to warrant the belief that a murder bad been perpetra ted, and, perhaps, the description of the ar ticles found may lead to the discovery of the fact. Should it meet the eye of any one who has missed a friend, whose clothing resembled that described, that circumstance might lead to an investigation, and finally the matter be brought to light. The facts, as related by our correspon dent, are as follows : “ About the first of March last, a gentleman by the name of Rainey, residing in DeKalk county, on Peach-tree Creek, near where the road cros ses leading from Decatur to Martin’s Ferry on the Chattehoochie, while going to Deca tur, discovered in the road, near the creek, considerable quantities of blood, and traces of a scuffle. Shortly after a man’s and a woman’s saddle were found in the creek, near the place, but more recently several ar ticles of clothing have been discovered— comprising two bleached homespun shirts, two pair linen pantaloons, one pair having a watch fob, one pair pongee silk, one blue janes double-breasted vest, one striped with blue and turky-red, one pair cotton drawers. A vest, shirt, and pair of pantaloons bear the marks of violence, being cut in many places in the sides; and considerable blood is yet to be seen on the collar and other parts of the shirt.” In another column we give an ac count of the funeral ceremonies observed on the truly solemn occasion of rc-interring the officers and soldiers who fell at Dade’s massacre, and all the officers of the army, who have been killed in battle, or died in Florida during the war. By the “ Savan nah Republican” of the 20th instant, we are putin possession of a list of th^inames of the officers and soldiers, whose remains were interred, in which is enumerated three Lieut. Colonels, four Majors, seventeen Captains, eleven first and nineteen second Lieutenants, one Surgeon, five assistant Surgeons and upwards of one hundred regulars, of Major Date’s and General Clinch’s commands.— When it is remembered that these are only a small portion of the regulars who have fallen in Florida, and that the hundreds of citizen soldiers, men, women and children, who have been butchered by the ruthless savages —and whose names would swell the list to thousands —are not taken into the ac count, we are enabled to form some concep tion of the horrid consequences of this wai; and when we for a moment reflect that it has been in a great measure instigated and proti acted by the cupidity of designing and intriguing men, we are constrained to exe crate the wretches, so lost to every moral feeling, to every emotion of humanity.— Some may doubt an insinuation which im plies such depravity in the human heart, but if we mistake not there are those who could make disclosures in regard to the inception and continuance of this disgraceful war, which would go far to establish the fact that to pecuniary interests are chargeable as great a share of its consequences as to the innate malignity of the savages. 05= Mr. Colt the inventor of the terrible explosive engine, has bdfen making experi ments recently at Washington. On this oc casion he shivered a vessel, which had been prepared for the purpose, to atoms at a dis tance of five miles. The Intelligencer says that there was an immense concourse of spectators present, including the President and heads of Departments. Mr. C. was near Alexandria; a signal gun was fired at Washington, and in about twenty seconds thereafter a huge column of water rose sud denly into the air, and when it descended no trace of the vessel was to be seen. Af ter such en exhibition we do not wonder that the Ashburton Treaty, as it is called, lia9 been “happily concluded.” Why would it not be as well for nations to be satisfied with such evidences of what one another can do in the murdering art, as to insist up on practical demonstrations ? It would an swer the interests of civilization just as well wc think. @<dn ®in it it am s4} mib ib au v CC-T* We are indebted to the Hon. John C. Calhoun for a pamphlet copy of his late speech on the Tariff Bill. ft?* The treaty lately concluded by Lord Ashburton and Mr. Webster, has been, af ter a protracted discussion, ratified by a con stitutional majority of two-thirds of the Se nate. Nine Senators only, among them Mr. Benton, who, it seems, was violently oppos ed to the arrangement, voted against it.— The injunction of secrecy not yet having been removed the provisions of the treaty are yet unknown. It will probably be made public immediately upon its being ratified by the English Queen. It is a matter of no small interest, and will, doubtless, make political capital for some party. Since penning the above paragraph we have seen the treaty, which is now going the rounds of the papers, though no one can account for the manner in which it has been made public before its final ratification. Its provisons are chiefly directed to the settle ment of the long disputed boundary ques tion, the suppression of the African slave trade and the mutual surrender of fugitives from justice. Other points of issue, such as the Caroline and Creole cases, have been adjusted by diplomatic correspondence, in a satisfactory manner, we understand, to both nations, and are omitted in the treaty. This correspondence riot having transpired some dissatisfaction has been expressed by the Southern press at the terms of the treaty ; but we are gratified to see that neither in the Senate, or by the press, has this important subject been made a party question, and that most of the influential journals of the coun try on both sides, South and North, are giv ing it their hearty support, as the terms of the arrangement become better known.— The “ Charleston Mercury,” democratic, discusses the provisions of the treaty in a very candid tone, and expresses its approba tion of the terms agreed on. The “ New York Evening Post,” also democratic, is decided in its approval of the treaty. The only whig paper that we have yet seen which denounces it, is the “ New York Courier and Enquirer.” A better understanding of the subject can probably be gleaned from the following article from the “ Albion”—a paper which represents the British interests—than were we to give the treaty itself: The African question is well disposed of. All theories and discussions as to the right of search, &c., are put aside, and the United States settles the matter by agreeing to keep up a squadron of vessels on the coast to sup press the Slave Trade, and to preserve its flag from the abuse that has heretofore been made of it. This arrangement will be per fectly satisfactory to the people and govern ment of England. But in the arrangement of the North Eastern Boundary, England has made some sacrifices, and gained but little, except the settlement of a long standing and irritating question, and that we admit is important.— The line awarded by the King of Holland is adopted, with the exception of a small de viation from Lake Pohenagamook, of the river St. Francis, to one of the head branches of the St. John. (See the Map.) For this small'acquisition, Great Britain yields the use of the river St. John for floating down American timber and other articles—gives up a large strip of land from Lower Cana da, and agrees furthermore to the surrender of Rouse’s Point, on Lake Champlain, ter ritory which is undoubtedly British, and which is of the utmost value to the United States as a military position. The loss of the Southern portion of the Madawaska Settlement, which will be now transferred to the State of Maine, is also to be lament ed, for it is a wealthy, industrious, and pop ulous community. The settlement was made under grants from the crown, and has always been under the British jurisdiction, forming no inconsiderable portion of the province of New Brunswick. The inha bitants are chiefly of French descent. Tho Americans surrender no inhabitants. It is proper, however, to state that all these sacrifices have not been made by Lord Ashburton ; for Rouse’s Point, the Mada waska Settlement, and the line of the St. Francis were all awarded to the United States by the King of the Netherlands ; in deed, keeping the Netherlands award in view, the present arrangement is not so ve ry objectionable, for the additional losses are only the strip of land in Lower Canada, be fore spoken of (the value of which we do not exactly know,) and the surrender of the use of the river St. John to the people of Maine. In reference to this navigation of the St. John, it is doubtful how far it may he a loss or injury, or even a disadvantage for the quantity of timber and produce that will be sent down that stream and its tribu taries from the American side, will vastly augment the business of the river, and rapid ly advance the wealth and prosperity of the city of St. John. The city of St. John in fact is the only port of outlet for all the vast territory the Americans will acquiie ; every log of timber cut, or bushel of wheat raised on the Aroostook, must pass through it to find a market. This must advance its com mercial importance, and with it the impor tance of the province. These considera tions will, we trust, console New Brunswick for the loss of the Madawaska Settlement. ft?* The “Crescent City” says “Professor Ingraham has been detected in a number of plagiarisms. He is a very small vegeta ble.” We have long considered the gen tleman an eminent professor of the science that begins with a Hum and ends with a bug. ft/*’ Wheat is selling at 45 cents, oats at 13 and corn at 20 per bushel, at St. Louis. Flour $2 50 per barrel. We would recommend to the peru sal of our country readers tlie article which will be found under the Farmer’s head, en titled “ Manufacture of oil from Lard.”— Among the various inventions of tho day, we know of none which promises so much to the Southern planter as the discovery of the process by which oil is rendered from lard. The time ha9gone by when the South ern planter could rely solely upon the pro ceeds of his cotton. It is no longer the policy of the South to regard cotton as her only staple. The opening up of south-wes tern lands has increased the production, and greater competition, and the various inter ests of foreign and domestic commerce have rendered the prices extremely fluctuating ; both the crop and demand affect the price, and of late years there has been but little cer tainty that the growing crop would realize the prices of the last. Policy then would dictate that the planter should no longer make cotton his sole dependance, especially when the current prices are but poor re muneration for the expense of producing it. A considerable number of our best planters have viewed the matter in this light, and while they have never entirely neglected our great Southern staple, have turned their attention to raising stock, hogs, small grains, &c., and it was, no doubt, this very reason that induced many to entertain a favorable opinion of the silk culture some years since, which, by the by, had it not been strangled in its infancy by over speculation in the morus mutlicaulus, would have been found a fruitful source of income to our smaller class of planteis. Radical changes in the agricultural policy of a country is no new thing. Even our own section has under went a very great change in this respect. — The time was when Indigo was the staple production of Carolina. About the year 1736, if we mistake not, Indigo to the value of millions of pounds sterling, was exported to the European markets, where it was pre ferred to that of the French or Spanish, and was actually afforded at a lower price.net ing a handsome profit to the producer. By means of protective duties, however, and from other causes the article depreciated in value, and was finally neglected until now no trace of its culture remains. Perhaps no section of the Union is better adapted to the cultivation of Indian corn, and conse quently the raising of hogs, than our own but the uncertainty of a market, and the un favorableness of our climate for the curing of pork, has heretofore operated as a great check upon this department of agriculture. Such were the unfavorable prospects of last year, and such the high price of salt, that we know some planters, who fattened consi derable droves of bogs, to have turned them out to pasture, rather than run the risk of obtaining a fair market for their pork. It strikes us that the late discovery by which our corn may be turned into anew and highly profitable branch of trade, will in a great measure obviate the risks hitherto attending its extensive cultivation, and that the Southern planter will now find it to his advantage to devote a portion of his capital and time to the production of lard. The article in our paper to which the reader is referred gives a detail of the process by which oil is made from lard, with some re marks upon the quality of the article pro duced. If the statement be conect—and we have no reason to doubt it, for every paper from the North and West contains similar accounts —and oil, superior to ordi nary sperin oil, can be afforded at 57 cents per gallon, it certainly must become in gen eral use, and in its manufacture consume all the superfluous lard that may be produced. A manufactory in some of our central towns would afford a market for the lard of our planters, and find a ready sale for its oil. (£?“ The organ of Millcrism states that there is seven hundred clergymen now en gaged in preaching the principles of Miller, and that the number of persons who profess to believe that Christ will make his second advent next year is estimated to be no less than one million! Surely “ the moon comes more near the earth than she was wont and makes men mad.” It argues not a little for the good sense of our southern people that among all the ridiculous heresies of Mormonism, Miller ism, Mesmerism, Magnetism, Abolitionism, Quakerism, and all the humbug isms and ologies that have turned so many people fools, none of them have lieen countenanced at the south, l’erhaps we are not as en lightened as our neighbors. If this is the reason why we are not running after every “strange fancy” of the fanatic’s brain, we are more than ever convinced of the truth of the old adage-—“where ignorance is bliss ’tis felly to be wise.” 05** We have seen much in the papers of late, about the Mormons, but have met with no account of them, that gave us any defi nite idea of their true designs and character. The following extract from a letter to the editor of the “ New England Review,” from a gentleman who has recently been among them, gives rather a favorable ac count of their progress, though it speaks but little for the moral character of the prophet: “ I spent a day in Nauvoo, last week. It is situated at the head of the lower rapids of the Mississippi. The city is built on a bend in the river, shaped like a lioree-shoe ; it is as fine a location for a city as I ever saw. It is regularly laid out, and Remains twelve thousand inhabitants ; three years ago last April there was but one house in the place. The buildings ure small but con venient, and present a beautiful appearance from the opposite side of the river; they are building a very large fine atone hotel, and a very large, magnificent stone temple. This building is up about ten feet, the stone work is very massive and most splendidly wrought. In a large room in the basement is the baptismal font, supported by twelve elegantly carved oxen. Hundreds of men are engaged at work upon it; one tenth of their labor and their property is employed in the building of if. They have an armed “ Legion” of two thousand troops, but in stead of having all the arms of the State, as stated in the papers they have only three hundred stand. Joe is the grand General of the “ Legion.” I had a conversation with the prophet; he appeared very affable and pleasant—looks like a good liver—en joys a joke. I never saw a more industrious place; every man, womati and child (Joe excepted) was at work. Three quarters of the stories about the Mormons are untrue. Joe, to those he is familiarly acquainted with, is known to be coarse, profane and ex ceedingly vulgar in his speech. His animal propensities predominate: the Mormons say the same was true of Solomon.” (t?*By our last mail we learn that “the mischief is to pay” between the state au thorities and the Mormons. An attempt lias been made to arrest Joe Smith, who says he wont be “tuck.” It is rumored that a battle lias been fought between the militia and the Mormon legion in which some thirty or forty men were killed or wounded. Camp news, we suspect. | OCT 5 * We see it stated iti the papers that “it is confidently believed” that an agency of the Bank of England has been establish ed in New Orleans, and that the issues of that institution are fast getting into circula tion in that city. It is also stated that agen cies are also to be established in the princi pal cities of the Union. Can this be true 1 We “ have doubts arising.” CT 5 * Our people generally .feel a degree of interest in the history and fortunes of the family of the French monarch, such as they manifest for no other scions of royalty.— This may probably be attributed in some mea sure to the national sympathy of the French for our own country, but is no doubt greatly strengthened by the amiable and exemplary personal character of the present royal en cumbent of the French throne. Few fami lies of princes have such strong claims upon the affections of the good of all nations.— The following account of tho death of the late Duke of Orleans is given by one of the attending physicians: When I arrived at the house where the Prince laid, M. Not was there, and M. Ley came at. the same time that I did. We were the only medical men about him from half past eleven till one o’clock. The Prince was stretched on two matresses. His head, reclined on his chest, waved from side to side as his body was stirred ; his respiration was deep and difficult, his eyes half shut. There was no sign of outward fracture, merely some severe contusions, with blood on liis right eye and ejar. Blood was first let, and produced little effect, except that the Prince tried to remove the band on bis arm from the bleeding. We imagined the Prince might have some consciousness of his state, but the autopsy has shown this to be impossible. The violence of the shock had been such, that if not broken by the disarticulation and breaking of the bone, it would have killed him on the spot. Cold lotions were applied to his head and stimu lants to the respiratory organs; friction was employed, still no sign appeared of intelli gence, but merely automatic movements. “At mid-day the Royal family came in. The Queen flung herself at the foot of the bed ; never did a mother’s grief burst forth in expressions more full of grief and dis traction. Tire King asked, was there a frac ture 1 We gave a negative answer, though with some hesitation. On this the King tried to console the Queen, stating that accidents of a similar kind had occurred to himself. The patient, however, grew worse. Sixty leeches were applied to the back of the head, when the Prince uttered a few fuga cious words in German. He tried to tear off the leeches. At half past one sinapisms were employed ; the pulse became better, but the respiration worse. The involuntary motion of the limbs ceased, and a convul sive tremblin g began. This by degrees sub sided into tension and stiffness. Anxiety and despair were on every countenance. — The Queen in agony, supplicated the Al mighty for one gleam of consciousness to be given to her son. She offered her exis tence for such a boon. The Due D’Amale —“ What will Joinville feel on such news!” The King’s resignation was more poignant than the louder agony of those around him. The physicians durst not look up ) they had no hope to give. Several more physicians arrived ; and at two o’clock the curate of Neuilly came to give extreme unction to the Prince. Convulsions renewed. At three o’clock there was no pulsation but of the carotids. Medication was suspended. In this the King and Queen saw the announce ment of the approaching end of their 9011, rushed towards him, embraced him in sob bings, and paid him the lasLadieus. “How to announcesuch a misfortune to Helena 1” ex claimed the Queen. At half past four the illustrious patient expired. In connection, we give below a descrip tion of the funeral ceremonies: Much is related of the magnificence of the Roman triumphs and ovations, and of the taste, skill, fancy, pains and money that were lavished upon them. In Paris the art of funeral triumphs, and the frequency of the spectacle must equal what the eternal city did m honor to her victorious comman ders. There is a wonderful perfection here in all the arrangements, in every concomi tant, military and civil, in the combination of show, sound, movement, nnd order, for splendid and appropriate effect. The trans lation of the corpse of the Duke of Orleans yesterday from the palace of Neuilly 10 the Cathedral of Norte Dame was a masterpiece of its kind in all the details. Along the whole distance of two French leagues the throng of spectators beggared all “ calcula tion, Avenues, streets, squares, windows • and roofs of houses were filled. ’ The hori zon answered the nature of the procession'; it was in general heavily overcast, but no raiti fell; the atmosphere was cool • and from time to time the sun burst forth and gave brilliant relief to the accouritrements of the soldiery and the gilding of the cars. Not less than fifty thousand men were under arms. The lines of national guards of the capital and department extended nearly the Whole distance. It will be enough at pre sent to designate the principal traits of the grand obit, which the Journal des Debar*, of this morning, tells us was a tribute to Royalty itself as much as to the memory of the Prince. His body remained seventeen days in the sepulchral chapel of Neuilly; priests watched incessantly about the coffin, and chanted the offices of the dead; several times every day the members of the Royal family united their prayers at the foot of the altar to those of the pious sentries. When the detachment of national guards nnd reg ulars entered to take the coffin for the trans lation, the King and the Duchess of Orleans knelt before it and bade such an adieu as you can imagine ; tlie mother and two prin cesses were nearly prostrate in another part of the chapel. The four Dukes, the broth ers, assisted in placing the coffin on the gi gantic funeral car, and Louis Philippe sup erintended. In this capital every thing and every bo dy was in motion by six o’clock in the morn ing, sound of muffled drum, minure guns, hosts of citizens wearing crape, bodies of priests and college pupils, assemblages of national guards, and so forth. Fons hours were consumed in the march of the immense and diversified train from Neuilly to Notre Dame. In the apotheosis of Napoleon the cortege stopped at the Hospital of the In valids, hut this entered of course into the heart of the ancient Paris. The car which bor the Prince’s body was built for the fune ral of Louis XVIII, and used for that of Marshal Mortier. It was drawn by eight horses, caparisoned in mourning, and had black velvet hangings starred with silver. The Duke’s war steed preceded it with suit able trappings; tlie animal is called Sidi Movsa ; it belonged to an Arab chief who perished in tlie battle of Algiers, at which 1 lie new Christian master was present. A black coach with four horses, bore the urn containing the Prince’s heart, guarded by four priests. The aichbishop and his chap ter rode in a coacli with six horses; two hundred priests, distributed on each side of the route, sang the offices of the dead, and a large cross uplifted in the middle between them, particularly attracted the homage of the multitude. A carriage, completely black inside and out, with six horses cover ed from head to foot with a black pall, was occupied by the four young Dukes. The corners of the pall over the coffin wore born by four Marshals of the empite, Soult of tho number. He looked broken and grief-full. A great number of official carriages, a long cavalcade of military officers and political functionaries, and masses of pedestrains of every rank, troops, municipal guards and gerisdarmeries, admirably equipped, com pleted the immeasurable procession. It passed under the triumphal arch, the star, beneath which the Duke stopped in J une, 1537, when he ushered his bride, with great pomp, into the capital,’ where she was des tined, as he thought, to share the throne with himself. At Notre Dame every thing had been fitly adjusted for the reception of the precious deposite by Visconti, the chc sen architect of tlie Napoleon mausoleum. The funeral picturesque—the dismal and the grandoise united—the chant de profan dis—the catafalque with its canopy forty yards high, from which velvet cloth, em broidered with velvet, swept the floor—the six thousand lights—the fourteen large silver cariatides—the sable dress of the whole vast interior of the cathedral—the occasional salvos of artillery on the adjacent area—the tolling of the colossal bell, and all the other church bolls of Paris in a sort of recitative, consummated this work of marvellous in genuity, labor, zeal and expense.
