THE, BURIED ALIVE.
1! had been for «nme time ill of a Invr anil!
lingering fever. My strength naturally!
wasted, lint the sense of life seemed to be
come more and more nriite, »» my coi purest
powers became weaker. I could see by tin
looks of the Doctor that he despaired of my
recovery; and the soft and whispering sor-,
row nl my friend* taught me that 1 had |
nothing to hope.
(toe day towards the ever.,ng, the ciini
took place. I was seized Willi a strange,
and indesenbab'e quiverihg—-& rusmngj
sound was in my ear*.
I saw around my couch, innumerable)
strange faces; they were blight and vision
ary, and without bodies.— There was light '
ao’d solemnity, and 1 tried to move, but j ■
cou'.d not. Fora short time a terrible con-j
fusion overwhelmed me; and when it passedji
„(V all my recollection returned with the ,i
most perfect distinctness, but the power of J •
motion had dcparteil. I bear rl the sound of,*
weeping at my pillow, and ihe voice of the j
nurse say, “lie is deal.” I cannot de-j*
s. ribe vim I I toll a.t these woids. 1 exert-j.c
rd my utmost power of volition to stir my , ’
self, but I could not move even an eyelid, j "
After a shart pause my friend drew near ;y 1
and sobbing and convulserl with grief, drew j w
his hand over my face, and closed my eyes,)"
Th »• Will hi was then daikcned, but I still, r ,
could hear, and feel, and suffer. i a
When my eyes were closed, I heard by a
the attendants that my friend had left the
room, and I soon after found the underta
kers were preparing to habit me in the gar
menta of the grave. Their thoughtlessness ♦<
we.a inure awful than the grief of my friends. M
Thev laughed at one another as they turned a
sue from side to side, and treated what they c
believed to be a corpse with the most appal- a
ling ribaldry. j *
VVueh oad laid me out, these wretch j"
es retired, aid 'he degrading formality oil' 1
affecting mourning commenced. Fur
days, u number ol friends called to see me, c
I heard them, in low accents, speak of wli.il
I was; and more th in one touched mo with
his finger.—On the third day, some of them
talked of smell, ol corruption in the room. (
The coffin was procured; I was lifted and (
laid in; my friend placed my head on what
was deemed its lust pillow,. and i leU hi* a
tears drop on my face. '
When all win* had any peculiar interest 1
in me, bad fur a short time looked at me in a
the collin, the undertakers relumed and a
screwed it iluwn. Them were (woof them i
present ; one had occasion to go away be- i
lore, the task wax done. ’ heard the fellow I
who was left begin to whistle as he turned li
the screw nails, hut ho check, d himselt, and ie
completed the wink in silence. |c
I was then left alone - every one shunned a
the room I knew, however, (hat I was noth
set buried; and though daikcned and mo-ji
,, < , nlru* 1 h,--l Silt hone ; but this was act c
pennintni long. Illi'iliy oi iinniiieni Bl - J
( j vv ,| | (pii >be c‘dUo lifted and borne a- I
NVl ,y I hemd and felt it placed on the i
hearse. J’berc v*T; a crowd of people a-!l
round; some of them spoke sorrowlu’ly oil
me. I'h lieaise began to movi—l knew
(hat it carried me to the gmve. It halted,
and the coffin was t ken out —I felt mysell
carried on shoulders of men, by the inequali
ty of the moiiun. A pause ensued—t heard i
the cords <d the coffin move—l fell it swiogli
as dependant by them—lt was lowered and :
rested on he bottom of (he grave—the cords ■
wore dumped upon the lid—l heaid them i
fall. 15 radial was the effort I then made to
exert the power ol action, but my wh de
frame was immovable. i
Soon uf;er a few handfulls of earth were i
thrown upon the coffin. Then there was <
another pause—after which the shovel was i
employed, and the soon' 1 of the rattling !
mould, as it covered me, was far more tre- j
mendous than thunder, hut I could make
no effort. The sound gradually became less ■
and less, and by the surging reverberation
in the coffin, I knew that the grave was fill
ed up, auu the Sexton was treading in the
eari'n, slapping the grave with live flit o!
bis spade This too ceased, and then all was
silent.
I b.>d no means of knowing the lapse of
time; and the silence continued. This is
death, thought i, and i am doomed to remain
m the ear.h till the resurrection. Present
ly the b dy will fall into corruption, and the
epicurean worm, that is only satisfied with
the dealt of join, will come to partake of the
banquet ttiat has been prepared for him with
so ouch solicitude and care. In the con-!
templutioti of this hideous thought. I heaid
h low and under sound in (lie earth over
ni \ and I fancied (hit the worms and the
reptiles at death were coming—that the
mole and the rat ol the grave would soon be
upon mu. The sound continued to gruwj
louder and nearer. Can it be possible,
thought I, Ilia' :nv friends suspect they have
.juried me too soon ? The hope was truly
■ ; ke bu uu ■' hr nigh the gloom of death.
Toe sound ce.tsed, and presently I felt
the hands of sun - dreadful being working
about my throat. They dragged me out ol
the coffin by the head —I felt again the liv
ing air, but it was piercingly cold; and I
was carried swiftly away—l thought to judg
ment, peihaps peidiiioti.
When b ii'ite to some distune■*, I was then
thrown down iike h clod -it was nut upon
‘he ground. V mom nt altei I found my-
S 'lfoo a carriage; and, by the interchange
of two or three brief sentcnct*, 1 discovered
that I w is io thr hands of two of those rob
ber* win live by p'.un leriiig the grave, and
selling the bodies es partnia, children ar
friend*. One of I lie men song snatches hi
.scraps of absence songs, as the cart rattle
lover the pavement ol the Ktre^ts.
When it halted, I was lifted out, and
soon pen tved by the closeness of the ai
jand the change of tompe.ature, that I wa
[carried into a room ; and being mdely strij
pod of my shroud, placed naked on
liable, fly the conversation of 'he two fellow
| with tin sei vaot who idmi 'ed them I learnr
|t|> 1 was that night to be dissected.
My eyes were still shtj', I .aw nothing
{but-io a short time, ! heard, by the bustl
jin (he room, that the student* of anatom;
{were assembling.—Some of them cant
.round Ihe table, and examined mi minutely
' t hey were pieasrd (o find that so good ;
subject had b mil procured. Ihe demonstra
lor himself nt last came in.
Pievious to beginning the dissection, lu
proposed to tiy on me some galvanic experi
ments ; ami an apparatus was anunged fm
that puipose. The tiist shock vibrated
through ail toy neivcs. Ttiey rung and
jangled like the strings of a harp. Tho
students expressed their admiration at the
convulsive effect. The second shock threw
rviy eyes open, anil the fiist person 1 saw
was ttie doctor who had attended me. But
•till I was as dead; I could, however, disco
ver among the students the faces of many
with whom 1 was familiar ; and when my
•yes were opened, I heard my name pro
jounced by »evera! of the students, with an
iccent of awe and compassion, and a wish
ha* it had been some other subject.
When they had satisfied themselves with
he galvanic phenomena, the demonstrator
ook the knife, and pierced me on the bosom
with (he point. 1 feit a dreadful crackling,
j. il worn, throughout my whole frame—a
:opvulsive shuddering instantly followed,
jmi a shriek of huiror rose, from all present.
I he ice ol death was broken up—my trance
•ruled. The utrn st exertions were made
lo restore me, and in th.' course of tin hour
[ was in the full possession of all my la
cullies.
A SPORTING ANECDOTE.
Copy of a letter to the Kditor* of the
Georgia Journal, dated Morgan county,
Geo. January 17,
On Tuesday evening, 3d iust. between
sunset and datk, I was informed by a negro
man, who had been splitting rail* that he
hud found a very l uge fox, in a brusbheep,
within a few paces of where he was at work,
and requested me to take my rifle and kill
it. Having good fox dogs, ( declined Ink
ing my gun, and proceeded lo the spot for
the chase, which was within three or four
hundred yards of my house.—The boy point
ed out the bru»h where the animal was se
creted ; I advanced up, and gave the brush,
a kick, and to my astonishment and surprise,
out came the largest Panther 1 have ever
seen. 1 raised the war whoop, and put my
dr, ITS -fter birn an.l tn.riin,,'.. v - * 1
yulras, the dog'' put him up a urge red oak
tree. When I approached the tree, the ani
mal was walking up perfectly erect upon hii
jtoet. By this time, it became nearly dark,
|and I proceeded lo build fires in different
dilutions around the tree, for the purpose
ol keeping him at a respectful distance, un
til [ could procure my rifle aud shotgun
together with my negroes and balance ol
cl >gs. Alter being reinforced with arms, I
[directed my negroes each to light a goof
torch, ft. take a large stick to defend them
-elves ; I then proceeded to shoot with my
rifle by shinning the animals eyes, and
ter the third fire, tho Panther came down
■he tree apparently for battle, but when hf
came within twenty feet of the ground, 1
directed the negroes to rush with their tor
ches at(he tree, and the Panther leaped ofl
at least 18 or 20 feet, immediately over the
negroes and myself. I directed the ne
groes to keep up their torches and pust
with the dogs, aud running about one mile
we again compelled him to take a secont
tree, a very large pine, and I then charger
my shot gun with rifle balls and wountlei
him -oveiely in the shoulder. He then leap
«d from the, pine and commenced his at
tack, hi st on the dogs, and occasional!;
!would advance towards the company,
then directed the negroes to keep up gooi
torches, presented until i loaded the sc
cond time with rifle halls, and then dispatch
t d him without the loss of life or dogs.-.Th
animal measured in length upwards of sevei
feet, and weighed one hundred and thirty
seven pounds, ike. T. B. R.

in France, on an estate belonging to one i
jmy relations, in the old entrenchments of
scamps camp occupied by Cecsar, tuar the city <
i Dampiegoe, in the former province of P

‘[conqueror, by order of the H unan Senat

II Sir: I have received from the hands of
Judge Marcy, the medal which you have had
' the kindness to offer to me, as a New Year’s
gift, and as a mark of your regard for mv
1 character.
In accepting this valuable medal, or, an
1 occasion so appropriate as the introduction
•jof a new year to the review of the past and
!the anticipation of the future, allow me to
assure you that I feel most forcibly the mo
rtal which it inculcates; though far from ar
■ regaling to myself the slightest approach to
' the possession of the talents which distin
'guithed the extraordinary man in whose
honor it was stn nk by the Roman Senate,
in the history of Caesar, who won the con
' jfidoncc and love of the Roman people by
. achievements which yet command the adtni
|ration of the world, we h ive an instance of
i the intoxicating effects of power which can
-0 not be too often the subject of reflection.
1 May it l»e a motnento far more lasting than
jthe medal which now attests his ambition
,|rather than his virtue, that a Republic, to
I jbe free must ever be watchful of the acts of
- those to whom it confides the defence, as
i well au the administration of its laws.
r If I was enabled to render some service to
- my country, on the occasion to whic i you
■ allude, it was because the brave men who
i, were associated with me, disregarded any
<*-!danger but that of disgrace, and were am

Loud complaints are made in England a- ,

reducing, has just increased her rates upon l
importations J2i per cent. The following i
; remarks upon the subject, are from die Lon- I

‘ “Our attention has been cabed to the i
[ journey of our Vice-President of the Board ,

that our neighbour would return the com

she has shown do disposition to do
' this, and therefore the true policy of our
* Government would have been to have pe
remptorily threatened to wiilufraw the*e
privileges, providing she did not grant the
required reciprocity; but instead of doing
J this-—instead of demanding, like independ
|ent men, that which is our due Mr. P.
I Thomson goes over to France to fawn upon!
-and flatter those whom he ought to have]
r bearded—to beg that as a favor which he
n ought to have demanded as a right. Upon
the lowest calculation, w e are informed by
r an intelligent Frenchman, that there is at
i, this time a commercial annual balance of
d 50 millions of francs, in her trade with this
rticountry, in favour of France, and, of course,!
- j against England, in addition to which there'
- are at least 200 millions of francs expend- 1
ed annually by British residents in, ar d
,f, visiters to, that country. These sums a
i mount to the enormous total often millions!
d sterling. Allowing, however, that this is an'
> exaggerated calculation, there can be no
- doubt that the balance is enormously against
g, us. In reference to (his subject, a corres- !
n pondent observes : “ As we are on the right
s side, it would be much more advantage ;
nous that such a question should at once he
settled in a decisive manner; and the chort
i- est way, in my opinion is, that without a
•- satisfactory compensation in soma mode or
e another, a shoit term of about three months
>r should be given, as er which we should, on
our part, establish every thing in relation
3- to French commerce upon a system of per
f, feet reciprocity, \\ e think, moreover, that
i. such a measure would materially assist the
i- French Ministry, as iu that case'they would
d,be compelled to look to general and not in
