MADISON, GEO
Saturday, October 8, 1843.
OUR PAPER.
The publication of our paper has been
slightly delayed this week, owing to our
supply of paper not arriving in due time.—
Were this the only grievance, however, we
would endeavor to overlook it. trusting to
the indulgence of our patrons in considera
tion of our usual promptness ; but, in addi
tion to this, we have to complain of the size
and quality of the article sent. It will be
seen that it is not only rather small, but thin
ner than it should lie, to afford a fair impres
sion of our type. We have a much better
quality bespoke, and we hope, after what
we now have on hand is consumed, we will
be able to present the “Miscellany” on a
fair and durable sheet.
MADISON MARKET.
There has been received since our last,
1050 bales of Cotton. The sales for the
past week reach 53S bales, at prices rang
ing from Gto 7 cents. Some sales of infe
rior Cotton have been made at prices under
the former figure. We now quote 4 to 7
cents, extremes—the latter price being for
prime, in square baies.
The letters from Augusta, this morning,
show a decline in that market, since the
quotations of last week—7J is now the
highest price for prune in square, and 7J
for the same description in round bales.
Our merchants are well supplied with,
and are now in the daily receipt of full sup
plies of Groceries and Dry Goods, which
are sold on as fair terms as they can be had
else whsre. In evidence of the truth of
which assertion we need only give the re
mark of a respectable low country mer
chant made in our hearing one day this
week—which was , that at the prices at which
goods are sold in Madison no pi oft can he
made.
\
THE “ SOUTHERN WHIG.”
The editor, in his rejoinder to our reply
to his attack upon this paper, says he “ only
intended to create a little diversion,” and
that having attained his end he has “ no dis
position to continue the contest.” In thus
declaring himself, we give him all credit for
his exhibition „of “the better part of valor,”
as it was no doubt taught him by his consid
erate mama ; and we embrace the opportu
nity of congratulating the Athenian public
upon their possession of so discreet a cham
pion. If, indeed, the “ diversion” of the
good citizens of Madison and Athens teas his
object in penning the article against the
“Miscellany,” its editor, and its patrons, the
writer is certainly generous in his sacrifices
for the edification of the public. There was
a time when men of his order enjoyed the
patronage of kings, and were the favorites of
courts; but those days have gone by, and if
the editor would don the cap and bells, he
must make up his mind to “ have his labor
for his pains.” His order of genius has eith
er become too common, or, from some other
cause, is pot appreciated as of old.
But the belly- potent editor does not strike
his flag without giving us one shot more for
Congress. He says the “ Miscellany” is in
the “habit of attacking every periodical and
legislative body that does not come up to its
notions of propriety,” and charges us with
ungenerously attacking Congress behind its
back. We regret that the belligerent posi
tion which circumstances have forced us to
assume towards some of the “ periodicals”
of the day, has had the effect to bring this
champion—this “ big gun of the party ” —
against us. So far as Congress is concern
ed, we can say—and we trust the editor wil’
credit our sincerity—now that we do not
speak through fear of further chastisement
from him—that we entertain no particular
hostility towards that body, and that in con
sideration of the editor’s gallant defence of
its character, and to appease his outraged
feelings, we will, at a fitting time, use all the
force of that “ wind instrument,” which has
caused him so much alarm, in endeavoring
to persuade the National assembly to vote
him their thanks, with a leather medal. In
reference to the periodicals—with the edi
tor’s leave—we will pursue the same inde
pendent course which we have always ad
hered to—giving praise where we conceive
it due, and censure where, in our opinion, it
is merited.
One would be led to the inference, from
the editor’s constant harping on the subject,
that he either had, like the Indian, liquored
his water rather high at Screamersville, or
had been bitten in that unfortunate specula
tion of his townsmen. We can inform him
that his fears are groundless: the people of
Madison are not as envious as he appears to
be. They have no disposition to rob the
people of Athens of their Screamersville any
more than they desire to deprive themjof their
valliant editor; neither are coveted —and
the effort to bring the former into notice by
associating its name with that of Madison,
is just about as vain as the attempt of the
latter to win laurels by his ridiculous at
tempts to create public “ diversions.”
AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMITATION.
We give the following extract of a letter
from an old patron, without comment, only
assuring the borrowers of the Miscellany
that it is genuine.
“ I have been (to my shame yet great de
light) a borrower of your valuable and high
ly interesting “ Miscellany,” for two months
past; though you will, I trust, do me the
justice to believe that I did not conceive it
to be a principle of sordidness that prompted
me to act thus, but only a principle of econ
omy, in this wonderful age of hard times,
which are verily the “times to try men’s
souls” But in your remarks to patrons, on
the 24th September, the arguments were so
irresistible that they have hung like an in
cubus on my mind ever since, constantly
hissing in my ear (as Nathan said to David)
“ Thou art the man” for whom this article
was written. Therefore to dispel those
uncomfortable compunctions of conscience,
and to discharge a duty incumbent on every
native Georgian at least, who is a lover of
Southern Literature, (and is there one who
is not?) I enclose herewith $2 50, for one
year’s subscription to the “Southern Miscel
lany,” which you will please address to me
at Augusta.”

• HOCKING OCCURRENCE.
On Thursday morning last, while some
negroes were endeavoring to catch some
poultry, near the Tan-yard, a pet bear which
has been kept there for some time past, broke
loose and attacked one of the negroes. Be
fore assistance could reach the spot the boy
was very badly injured—the back of his
neck and several other paits of his body be
ing severely bitten. The bear was beaten
’ off with clubs, and afterwards shot. The
negro, who is nearly grown, struggled man
fully to free himself from the ferocious ani
mal, but had not several come to his rescue,
he would have been literally torn to pieces.
The boy is the property of Mr. J. B. Nick
elson, of Greensboro’.
MELANCHOLLY ACCIDENT.
It is our unpleasant duty to record anoth
er accident of the week, which has caused
much painful interest in our town. On yes
terday afternoon, while Marcellus, eldest
son of Colonel Augustus Aldcn—an inter
esting youth of about fifteen years of age—
was engaged in gathering chestnuts, he was
accidentally precipitated to the ground from
the tree, up which he had climbed to the dis
tance of some thirty or forty feet. The fall
being unobstructed, he came to the earth
with great force, producing a violent con
cussion of the brain, with many severe and
dangerous bruises. The lancet was imme
diately resorted to, and, we understand that
four incisions failed to bring blood. We are
gratified to learn that his suffering has some
what abated this morning, though fears are
still entertained of his recovery.
. tall potatoe.
Mr. E. Heard, of our town, rolled upon
our table a few days since, a Sweet Potatoe
measuring twenty-one inches in length, and
proportionately large in circumference for
the kind—it being of the species denomina
ted Spanish. We did not weigh it, which
would perhaps have been the best means of
ascertaining its magnitude; but it was the
opinion of those who saw it, that had it re
mained a few weeks longer in the ground it
would have been hard to beat. As it is, we
can boast of its length—a potatoe 21 inches
in length cannot be classed with “ small po

THE “ FAMILY COMPANION.”
The September number of this work has
been received. We did not intend to do
more than acknowledge the receipt of this
number—deferring a more extended notice
till the issue of tl>e first number of anew
volume. However, having met in it matter
that seems to deserve especial notice, we
have somewhat changed our plan.
The present number contains—among
much that is barely passable—several arti
cles of merit. Among the latter we would
place the concluding act of that remarkable
production, entitled “Andrew Burr.” The
entire tragedy is a study for the critic. A
discriminating Johnson would find much to
admire, much to wonder at, and much to
condemn. Scanned, pruned and retouched,
by some master-hand, it might be made a
living drama. As it is, it is like the diamond
in the quarry. “ George Washington Wea
ver,” by our old correspondent, Dr. Woot
en, is an excellent life-sketch, that will be
appreciated by all. “Homespun Yams,No.
2,” is an evident improvement on the first,
though we cannot agree with the Doctor,
that they are quite in the style of the inimi
table Longstreet. “ The Bible,” by Rev.
Geo. F. Pierce, appeared in the “ Miscel
lany” some time since. “ Christmas in Car
olina as it once was” is a very readable ar
ticle ; so is “ A Sister’s Love but the
sketch of John Neal is the most candid, sin
cere, truthful, just thing of the kind we ever
read. It will be well received by the nu
merous admirers of that eccentric genius.—
Asa whole, the number is a good one, so
far as the contributors are concerned ; but
who will say as much for the “ Editor’s De
partment ?”—that department which should
be the soul of a magazine, which should give
it individuality, tone and character. This
portion of the number is made up chiefly of
small puffs of favorite contemporaries, and
bibliographical paragraphs, gleaned from the
literary advertising sheets of the North, with
a couple of original paragraphs on the orig
inal subjects of “ Albums” and “ Bustles”
—the latter of which, considering that it em
anates from a woman, rather excells, in
coarseness and vulgarity of allusion, any
thing we have seen on this most liacknied
and disgusting subject. We doubt, indeed,
whether our Southern ladies will have their
ideas of Boston refinement and delicacy
much elevated by this article, from the pen
of one who assumes to be a model of fastid
eous taste, morals and good breeding. But
we will forbear comment, for fear the bias
of our remarks may be attributed either to
our feelings, or our general appreciation of
the author, from our intimate knowledge of
her standard of refinement. We may be
afflicted with an obliquity of vision in the
matter, but if any of our readers can disco
ver anything of feminine delicacy, or modest
propriety, in the following extract—which,
be it understood, we merely admit into our
columns as evidence of the correctness of our
position—then we will never again attach
to words the associations they are calculated
to excite in the mind of the reader :
“ We hardly take up an exchange paper
without meeting something or other intend
ed as a slur upon the ladies’ bustles. Now,
we do not see what the editors have to do
with them. They are not stuffed with quills
that they should explore their contents, nor
is meal bran however palatable to cows, just
the thing to sit well on an editorial stomach
or give zest to an editorial breakfast. We
suspect that the use of the scissors must
have become a passion with some of the
corps, inasmuch as they cannot let even a
bustle pass without ripping it open. They
seem to have infected the people with their
insanity about the article ; for someone has
even decorated the statue of liberty on a
steeple with a sack of meal for tournure.—
Now, this is too had ; those witless ones
who did it, never dreamed of the usefulness
of the article. What more elegant than the
figure of a modern belle, with hands clasp
ed, spine bent gently forward, little feet like
mice, beautiful face, and last, though not
least, unexceptionable bustle in its right
place, giving support to the mantle which
would otherwise droop in a most ungrace
ful manner, and soon be discarded as dra
pery for the beautiful. And what more
comforting to a husband (lovers, of course,
are out of the question, J than such an excel
lent leaning place when walking with one
arm lovingly encircling the delicate wsist of
his spouse. O, bustles are inconceivably
useful things. We don't believe the marri
ed editors dislike them.”
05 a ’ Some say the editor of the “ Fort
Pickering Eagle” is distinguished for “ un
blushing impudence,” and construes the fol
lowing paragraph into an announcement of
his “ adherence to modem doctrines of re
pudiation.” We are more inclined to think
the editor only intended to “ create a little
diversion.” He says:
“ There is a large and rare collection of
the autographs of distinguished individuals
deposited for safe keeping in the cabinet of
the Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank, each ac
companied with a note in the handwriting of
the autographist. We learn they have cost
a great deal of money. They jiaid oi'cr a
thousand dollars for ours. We hope great
care is taken to preserve these capital and
interest- ing relics, as should they be lost, we
doubt whether they could bp easily collected
again. Should the bank, however, be so
unfortunate as to lose ours, we’ll let them
have another at half the former price, in con
sequence of the very hard times.”

THE “NEW-YORK MIRROR,”
Os the 24th of September, contains a fine
steel engraving, by Gimbrede, of Washing
ton Crossing the Delaware, from a painting
by Sully. The plate is of the large super
royal quarto size, andis given in continua
tion of a series of Historical Engravings re
cently commenced in the “ Mirror.” In this
engraving theie is a departure from the or
iginal painting, which we consider a deci
ded improvement. The plates heretofore
given to the public have represented the
Father of his Country in his sixtieth year,
by which anachronism he is made to look
twenty years older than he was at the time
he designed and enacted his daring plan ;
the success of which covered the patriot ar
my with glory, and revived the drooping
spirits of the Republican party, in the dark
est hour of their struggle. In the engraving
before us, a copy of the portrait by Wash
ington’s friend and fellow-soldier, Colonel
Trumbull, lias been substituted. “This,”
says the editor of the “ Mirror,” in his ac
companying remarks, “ presents him in the
prime of manly beauty, before years and
trouble their defacing work, while
the fire of youth still shone in his eye, and
while his external presence still remained a
worthy indication of the noble soul within.”
The picture is a truly beautiful one, and
with the exception of a slight error of draw
ing in the right arm, is superior to any we
have seen. It is itself worth half the sub
scription to the “ Mirror,” and should be in
tlie possession of every American family.
NAVAL ACTION !
From the “ Norfolk Beacon,” of tlie2Sth
ultimo, we learn the particulars of a brilliant
action, in which the officers of the French
ship-of-war Circe boarded the United States
sbip-of-the-line Pennsylvania, while lying at
anchor in the harbor. The crew of the
Pennsylvania received them rearmly,and the
affair was spiritedly maintained for several
hours. We learn that many of the fair
daughters of Virginia, unable to resist the
patriotic impulse, heartily participated in the
action—never leaving the quarter-deck dur
ing the thickest of the
behaved very gallantly, manifesting a spirit
and willingness to engage that would have
done credit to the bravest tars in the service.
Much havoc took place on the middle gun
deck, where the war was carried to the knife!
and’such was the emergency of the case, that
the Commodore’s two cabins were occupied
as dressing rooms, instead of the cock-pit,
where the surgeon’s usually operate. We
do not learn that either shells or granadcs
were put in requisition, though the account
informs us that the “ cotillon, waltz, andgallo
pade were continued with great animation
until a late hour.” There was a little blind
fellow aboard, no larger than a cabin boy,
who fired at random, doing much execution
with a bow and arrow on the Paixhan prin
ciple. Many gallant hearts were pierced,
and several prisoners were made by the in
vincible fair, who will not so easily effect
their exchange.
It was a “ Ball,” reader, though not ex
actly the kind of balls they used to have on
board our ships-of-war in former days.—
Well, may no other kind ever pass between
our gallant little Navy and that of generous,
chivalric France!
The wife of poor Power, the Irish
comedian, is preparing a memoir of his
life, with a collection of his writings. Mr.
Power was a passenger in the unfortunate
steam ship President, which has never been
heard of since she sailed from the port of
New-York, in 1840. He was favorably
known in this country as an amiable and ac
complished gentleman of unrivalled talents
in his peculiar line of dramatic writing and
acting. The forthcoming volumes will be
eagerly sought after by thousands of his
American friends, and for once we wish we
had an international copy-right law, that his
bereaved widow might avail herself of the
rich legacy lie has left her in the love and
admiration of all who knew him.
Pass him round. —Charley Greene says
Mr. Charles H. Stower, aged twenty-two,
of Oswego, New-York, came to Boston on
or about the 21st of July, and palmed him
self off as a Lieutenant in the United States
Army. In this character, he engaged the
affections of a very worthy and beautiful
young lady in the vicinity; he promised
matrimony, and she believed what he pro
mised. But on the 12th of August he left
the city, without paying his board, and in
New-York he was suspected of having plun
dered the trunk of a travelling companion of
clothes and money, and decamped. By let
ters received here from Oswego, it appears
that Stowers, under the assumed name of
Bouck, was married in March last to a lady
of Buffalo. The young lady of whom we
have spoken above, fortunately escaped the
snare; but he may try the same trick else
where—so, brother editors, pass him round.

THE ELECTION
For Mem tiers ofCongiess and for Senator

State Legislature took place on Monday last,

some in reference to the regular nomination
of the Whig Party, a mixed ticket was sns
stairied by the Democrats and such of the
Whigs as did not favor the regular nomina
tion. The election for members of the Leg
islature was closely and spiritedly contested,

could be expected. The following is the

of last year for Governor. Enough is alrea

have only to congratulate themselves upon
their escape from the fearful responsibility
which will rest upon the next Legislature.

There was a severe storm at Galveston,
on the ISth ultimo, in which much property
was destroyed by the rising of the water in
the bay. At one time the water ranged from
two to four feet in all the streets. The Pres
byterian Chutcb, and several small houses
were destroyed. Several vessels were stran
ded, though no lives were lost. Estimated
damage, $50,000. The same accounts in
form us of the surprise and capture of San
Antonio by thirteen hundred Mexicans. A
Proclamation has been issued by the Presi
dent, ordering the militia of Brazoria, Aus
tin, Foil Bend, Colorado, Victoria, Gonza
les, Jackson and Madagorda counties to
march against San Antonio, with instructions,
in case the Mexicans evacuate, to pursue
them beyond the Rio Grande, and chastise
them “as their audacity deserves.” Indian
murders had also taken place, near Austin ;
two men were killed within three miles of
the city. In l,he event of a formal invasion,
which is not improbable, the militia of the
western counties are to hold the Mexicans
in check until the rest of the Republic can
rally tothe rescue. The President has revoked
the blockade of the ports*of Mexico, to afford
and opportunity for the mediation of Eng
land and the United States. The fall has been
unusually wet, and fears are enteitained that
the Cotton crop has been injured. The city
