LIKE THE BIHOWS ; ONE, LIKE THE SEA.” THOMASTON, GEORGIA. SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE 29. IS6I, Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. kteiriiiiiQcence of Daniel Webster. BY REV. ROSWELL SHURTLEFF, D. D. Boston, Feb. 14, 1861. Soon after the lamented Webster was no longer of earth, having acted as pastor .f the Church at Marshfield, where lie at tended for Sotue years, I was requested by some of bis Literary friends to write out some reminiscences of the great man and parishioHeV. This 1 could not do, at any length, without repeating what I laid pre viously furnished for your columns. But the brief notice I did prepare, was substan tially what I now send to you, and at a time when his personal influence is so much needed in the country, and when his 7th of March speech, which ho himself termed vera pt o gratis, rs spoken of approvingly in quarters where it would have been re garded as downright heresy at the time ot his<leath. Mr. Webster appeared to love his home He was there more at ease and more ready to converse on various subjects than when I met him in Bostofi and elsewhere. As he sat in his house at Marsfield, as he walked and rode over his immense farm, he was in fine spirits, his face often being lit up with his peculiarly joyous smile. — Mr. Webster delighted to he in the open air. Almost always, when l called on him, I would find him walking or riding over his farm, or in the house of a neighbor, or else about fishing or gunning. All agree in Marsfield, that he was the first man up in the morning on his farm, and that there was no jveace to anv Heeper sifter he rose. Mr. Webster frequently appeared in what might be termed a farmer’s costume, and often in a fisherman’s dress. On one oc casion he met in the street, near his resi dence, the wife of h heLgbhor farmer, who was, for a moment frightened at the re markable appearance of a supposed stvan airanger. As soon ;.s she began to avi id him, he begaVi to ’augh ; whereupon the good wife laughed, and they both passed on without speaking. Mr. Webster, while he was kind to those in his employ, wished to have them conform to his wishes. ’Ou. one occasion, Diwellev Baker, who had, for in anv years, the care <>t his own man sion house, forgot something his master told him to do. “Forgot it, forget it,’’ said Mr. Webster, “I never forgot any thing.” Mr. Baker was always extremely attached to him, for whom he cared so long and, next to John Taylor, was a mourner when he vas no more. Mr. Wtbstei* appeared to be very do mestic man, fimd of his wife, fond ot his children — fond of his servants anti of his flocks and herds—fond of home, and ot all that pertained thereto —fond ol lx is friends and neighbors and townsmen, and of Ply mouth county men generally. Mr. Webster bore the j.ko in his youth To Moreland, a neighbor ot bis, who, or: one occasion, mourned that his son, who was a promising scholar, was straightened for the means to procure an education— was obliged to keep school, and so forth, to pay his educational expenses ; I<> him, M-. Webster said, “Let John alone, he will do well. I once taught school for ihtee dollars a month.” He afterwards offered him the free use of lliS law and miscella neous libra* v. Prom my own knowledge, I should say 11)at Mr. Webster was a moral and religi ous man. judged, as maiiy judge of a re ligious person —by his religious talk and pretence, he might not be fvt down as very religious ; but judged by his reverential and devotional appearances in church : by his generous support of, and respect f<>r the Christian ministry—by his observance of the Sabbath —by his intimate acquain tance with, and belief of the Holy Scrip tures as the work ot G”d —by the general tone and spirit of all liis Writings, so that nothing can be form 1, that a good man dy ing would wish to blot ; and I>* his niani- , iest loVe for that which was lovely, excel- , lent, and of goed report ; by the closing days of his life, and by his Christian death; and judged, too, as a public man, exposed, most of his days, to the great and peculiar dangers incident to a public and political life, I should say that lie was, since my knowledge of him, a good and pious man. j In conversation that I have held with Mr. Webster, in reply to the question, “What has been your mode of preparation to speak in public ?” he said, that he usu ally studied a subject, and spoke f-om short notes.” Just after he made that four in New York at the opening of the Erie Railroad, in company with President Fillmore, when I expressed surprise at his being able to speak so often during his tmr on the same general subject, and yet without repetition of ideas, he replied : “I • have been studying and speaking on these topics all my life.” On another occasion, immediately after Gen. Taylor was nominated for ihe Presi dency, he observed, in conversation, “that th j re is no lmnoj these days, in bein'*’ President of ihe United States, to suc ceed such men as have for some time filled the office. In the times of Washington it WaS Bn honor to he President.” S?oon after Mr. Webster made his sev enth ot March speech, lie visited Boston, and while in the city, made a brief address to his fellow-citizens, from a temporary stand in front of the Revere House. Af ter his address, a large number of hits friends took him by the hand in the pallors within. Among others who spoke with him was the venerable and Ih-verend Mr. Cleveland, who had been a Boston city missionary for more than a quarter of a century. Mr. C, on taking him by the hand, said, “Mr Webster, when you have delivered ihe country from one or two more foreign wars, when you shall have saved the nation again and again from civ il war, the majoriiy of ihe people of this land will begin to ‘appreciate your services Sit*. I shall never cease to love you ; I shall never cease to pray for you.” Air. Web ster bowed, and replied, “Your words are like tipples of gold in pictures of silver.” 11 ii safe to say that Mr. Webster, be fore his death anticipated something like what we now see in this country. More than twenty-five years ago he said, in the course of an address at Plymouth, “I deem the dissolution of this Union a possible event.” There is a gentleman in this city who heard him say this, and so impressed was he by it, though then hut a youth, th: t he remembered it to this day. Toward the close of his life, he spoke somewhat despairingly to the writer, of our political pros]recta. Said he, “Our people seem to forjret that our government does not stand like ihose in Europe and elsewhere, upon hereditary rights or by face, hut upon the will of the governed. When, therefore, publicsentiment i-orqainst 1 !**-• Airesent form of government, it will come to an end.” Seclive Jtnsculnr I’owrr. It is a well-ascertained fact, that there is no article of diet, more valuable, for sup porting tlie animal system, Ilian Peas and Beans. They harden and improve the muscular powers. Let every farmer raise a plentiful sfipply of both for home con sumption. We cannot tell how long the present Avar Ivill last* and it is prudent to raise them, so as to supply onr soldiers with food that will enable them to with stand fatigue and the heitvy exercise of a soldiers’ life fora long time. We give the following abstract of observations made by the celebrated Dr. Backland, of Europe, u<;nie years since : •’The seeds of leguminous plants, espec ially peas and In-ans. me loaded with the constituents of muscle and hone, ready pre pared to form and maintain the muscular fibre of the body of animals. Hence, the rapid restoration of the shrunk muscle of the exhausted post horse l>v a good feed of oats and beads, (the English lmrse bean is here meant.) Hence, the sturdy growth of the Scotch children on oat cake and porridge, and of broth made of the meal of j lurched add kiln-dried peas.” On this he avers a tuun can live and do a good day’s work on 11-2 penny a day; while the children of the rich, oq the finest wheat flour, and on sage and rice, htutcr anil su gat'j may appear fat and sleek*.but would often die, ns they sometimes do, on such non-nutritiohs food were it not for the mixture of milk and eggs they eat in their do y cake and [biddings. He further remarks, that an old laborer of Axbridge complained to his master, Mr. Symonds, that laborers feeding there on potatoes, could not do so good a day’s work now as when he was young and fed on peas. “Peas, sir,” said he, “stick to the ribs.” In this he uttered the very truths of organic chemsitry. In beans we have vegetable “caseine,” O 7 or the vegetable element of cheese. What is more grateful to a man when fatigued by labor or a long walk ? Sepoys, on long voyages, live exclusively oti peas. The Working and healthy man and beast want muscle, ami not fat. Fat incumbers and impedes activity, and every excess of it is disease. We seldom See a fat soldier, ex cept among the sergeants,- who sometim e eat and drink too much. Piednxon*, to which the Sontbern ar my has advanced in Western Virgiuia, is 173 miles from Wheeling, and 73 east of Crafton, where the main body of the Fed eral Western invading army was stationed at the laet autheKtic reports. Limits of Learning. “Life is short, and Art is long,” said some wise man long ago. What is possible to learn in this life is limited by its dura tion. Moreover, we usually acquire the great bulk of our information, from our habits, and setting our principles before the mid dle of life. This is the rule; hut there are many exceptions. Some men are learning all their lives. Distinguished scholars have acquired languages when more than three score years old. Still the mind of youth is usually more receptive of new ! ideas than that of adult age. i Our knowledge is limited by the impos sible. We cannot comprehend ihfiinity or eternity. We know that our earth is but a grain of dust-, compared with the uni verse; but We have no idea of the extent of the univeVse. Onr telescopes reach only a little ways iuty ths expanse of space. Onr microscopes areas far, perhaps, from show ing us the boundaries of the wonderful world which it displays to us. We cannot see the ultimate atoms of matter, ho'r by ’observation form any conception of their character. The causes of the foVnrs of crystals, IVoM-woik, snow-flakes, plants, flowers, &c., are mysteries no science can reach. How can the acorn produce the oak? The mysteries of nature have hut one solution, and that is the greatest of all other mysteries. To make tile atom, to make the animalcule the millionth part of the size of a grain of sand, and to make a universe, require equally an Infinite Pow er and an Infinite Wisdom. We finite creatures, with a brief earth life and few opportunities, soon come to the limits of human science and human thought. But there is still a great deal within that limit. We can explore the earth and the solar system; we can study minerals, plants, animals, men; the histoiy of oin* hice, limited and imperfect as it is and often distorted and falsified, is open to us. We have made some advances in sci ence and art, and some brilliant- discov eries and achievements. It is something to be rthlvi in moucurc* tho dietuncp, size uud weight of the planet Jupiter. It is some thing to be able to tell the exact day, hour minute and second of the eclipse of one of the moons of Uransus, ten thousand years hence. It is something to send a message from Boston at twelve o’clock, and have it read at St. Louis at eleven. It is some thing to he able to go from New Yolk to Liverpool in nine days. A Horse’s Foot. —The foot of a horse is one of ihe most ingenious and singular pieces of mechanism, in the animal srtuc ture, and scarcely yielding to any in reg ularity and complexity*of parti*, and ol simplicity of design. The ho<f contains a series ot vertical arid thin lamina of horn so numerous as to amount to about five hundred, and forming a complete lining.— Into this are fitted as matiy lamina be longing to the coffin hone, which setts are elaslic and adherent. The edge ot a quire of paper, inserted leaf by leaf into one another, will convey a sufficient idea ol arrangement. Thus the weight of the an imal is supported by as many elastic springs as there are lamina in the feet, itmotinting to about four thousand, distributed in the most secure manner, since every spring is acted upoh iii ah oblique direction. Such is the contrivance for the safety of an ani mal destined to carry greater weight than that of its own body, and to carry those, also Under the hazard of heavy shocks. One Indian, One Kentuck— One Ind ian, two { imo. —The sight of a com; any of hardy Kentuckians on tire Capitol Square last. Wednesday evening brought to our mind an incident of the war of 1812 illustrative of the Indian estimate of the comparative effieney of Kentucky and Oh io troops on the field of battle. A Brit ish officer in the Northwestern campaign related that their Indian nllief had a great horror of Kentuckians, while they looked upon Ohioans as not very formidable.— It was a common saying among them— “one Indian, one Kentuck—one Indian, two Ohio”—meaning that in their view it took two Ohio men to make one Kentuck ian or one Indian. On a certain occasion, said the British officer, “we determined at tack a party of Americans not far from us, in ah open field, and called upon the In dians to co-operate witn us. They hesita ted at first, hut consented on being told that they had to fight Ohio troops. In a tew minutes ihe fire was opened Upon Us, rather unexpectedly to our officers; upon which the Indians all took th their heels, exclaiming in broken English in iheir flight, ‘Kentuck! Kentuck! Kentuck!” This incident may be relied upon as hist oricah — Rich m end L'n qmrer. and t^roprietor Volume 3 ; -Nrinb<T 31 Signs uiul Wonders. The Clayton {Ate.) Danner of *tho 20th instant says:— It may not be known to those of our readers who never go a star gazing, that for several evenings lately there have been signs and wonders in the heavens. The moon has been several times seen changed to blood red when upon the eve of setting. At these times the Western sky would bo illuminated with a brilliantly red light, to height of about two degrees above the hor izon, and across this bright gVCuud at in tervals there would shoot perpendicular bars of an electric white heat. This phe nomenon would remain in sight for sever al minutes, until the moon went down, and then there would settle upon the clouds a bright light of mingled white and red, which would slowly fade away into the blackness ot night. The most singula* thing connected with the whole of this strange sight is, that upon the next morn ing the sun was sure to rise under similar circumstances, the same brilliancy illum inating the eastern horizon as did the Wes tern on the evening before. Philosophers and Astronomers would do well to keep their eyes heavenward, and thesnpeVstitio'us Invert of th'e marvellous in nature ought to be on the lookout, for while men are engaged in a great revolut ion on earth, there are much greater chan ges and more wonderful revolutions going on daily abd nightly in the heavens above us. “There shall be wars and rumors of War on the earth, and signs and wonders in the heavens, and the sun shall be dar keried aud the moon changed to Hood!” port wine From blackber ries. A writer in the Columbus Sun, calls at tention to the importance of making Port Wine from the common blackberry, which grows so abundantly in the Confederate States. The wine made from them isbeal ihy and palatable, and an excellent remedy fur several diseases. We Would suggest tO <jmi jm udciii ttiivl skilful lady friends ttiO importance of making blackberjy wine and as much as possible. It would be high ly relished by our brave soldiers on the field, and conduce to their comfort and health. The following are said to be ex cellent receipts: No. 1. Measure your berries and mash them thoroughly; add a gallon of boiling water to each gallon of berries; let them remain over night; in the morning straiii of! the juice, and allow three pounds of su gar to every gallon of juicej and let it fer ment. No. 2. Gather the ripest blackbeHdeSand mash them. To a gallon of the fruit put a gallon of water, and let it stand 24 hours, until it ferments; then strain it through a hair sieve or coarse cloth, and to a gallon of the liquid add tlifee pouhds of Brown sugar. Put it into a French brandy cask, and let it stand for six months. Bung it tignt, amt ufivji It Iwao ned six months rack it off in bottles, when it is fit for use. No. 3. The cask should be very nearly, or quite full: and the cork not put in very tight for a few days. Lay the cask on its side. A veteran vegetable vender, of the Af rican race, \vh ) lias traversed the streets of Charleston with liis wagon daily for sever al years, selling his garden supplies, and whose monotonous cry of green peas, Irish potatoes, “water milions.” etc., etc., is Well known, especially on the Neck, was hailed by an old negress, who inquired if he had any Northern cabbage. “Northern cab bage?” replied the dealer, “Northern cab hag-?” “Say, gal, who do you b’longs to? jink dis hete chile is wgine to lam inate bis wagon with Northern cabbage?” And without waiting to nilow the woman to make some other purchases, he drove furiously off, in the most indigment man* ner. TJe Old Nortli Slate. TheMorth Carolina Regiment covered itself with glory at the battle of Bethel.— After the enemy had got possession of & disabled Howitzer gun. it was necessary to dislodge them. The North Carolina boys undertook the task. With bayonets fixfcd they advanced upon the foe. The charge only wanted one accessory to make if us grand as any charge in history. The Yan kees fled like shot wild ducks, amid the derisive shouts of the advancing heroes.— They had no idea of coming in contact with* cold steel. —Uichmond Whig. THE LONGEST DAY.
