aT OEUAV MORNING, OCTOBER 8<
A Queen and a President.
...., |n )| lt . lew Ja-st months, two incidents
' .„rred, which strikingly display the dif
fajV<! /between royalty and republicanism.
I?re0 ‘ as the opening of the New York Crystal
lIV Preident Pierce —the other the visit
Victoria to the Dwbin Exhibition,
fie the events of the former our readers are
!■ During his ride to the Palace, Presi
accidentally hail his bat smashed in,
J roile with it unconsciously in that condition
aa iotue distance; and alter the opening exer
lol s ,vere over at the Palace, the platlorm
/ *e he stood was invaded by his fellow citi
" ea-er to grasp his hand, not all of whom
ze!:! " particularly considerate. Mark the dif
'nee at Dublin ! The Queen was received
,e "l"fOOtn, prepared expressly for the purpose,
{“ u , w jth white satin, and ornamented with
Psts ot herself and husband. At her presen
, lion to the people, she singled out Mr. Dargan,
jcetor of the Exhibition, aud shook his
!, <]' ~t which “gracious condescension,” as the
Fiel'idipapers call it, both the honest man, and
tbebonest man’s wife looking down from the
,-ailery, aud the honest people appear to have
U affected almost to tears. It seems, at first
nearly incredible, that between the
i ,rto-Saxon communities, descended from the
"I " e stock, and rssetnbling each other so closely
i 'most particulars, there should be this differ-
Utcr in the day, it appears, Queen Victoria
jiove to the country seat of Mt Dargan, a few
miles iiom Dublin, and spent half an hour in a
c'a'i upon the gentleman’s family. The English
wurnals arc over-powered by this “gracious con-
Ifscension’’ also. And considering that it is the
first time the queen has ever visited an untitled
subject, the act, viewed from the British point,
wag really a kind one. It was, however, well
deserved, as, but for Mr. Dargan, the Dublin
Exhibition would have fallen through; besides,
ji, honoring him, the Queen, as representing the
Mate, honors labor, which he aud the Exhibi
tion represent. But what a jeer would be heard
jl j n this country, the visit of a President to a
private individual should be called, by any jour-
Ijalist. a “gracious condescention.” Gracious,
indeed! Why, the poorest day-laborer, if he be
a good citizen and an honest man, is as worthy
j,"all respects, as the welthiest. He who does,
his duty, in whatever position he fills, “deserves
Wl .|| of his country,” as the ancients used to de
cree, and is a fitting person for the Common
wealth to honor, through vists paid by its repre
sentative head. The Old World is still a slave
to barbarous ideas of rank. There, the idle
drone, if he is titled and rich, is honored. There,
it is still practically considered degrading to live
by the work of one's hands. It is here that the
divinity ot labor was first asserted in the world’s
history. In achieving that great triumph, which
is beginning at last to react on Europe, Ameri
ca has made a forward step in civilization, the
advantages of which can scarcely be over esti
mated.— Phil. Ledger.
Phoebe in Breeches.
A St. Louis paper has the following:
‘ A week since, two persons called at the
North Shades, on Broad-way, and representing
themselves as brothers, lequested to be supplied
with boarding accommodations fora few weeks.
On Saturday last the landlord’s suspicions were
aroused—the brothers were not exactly Siamese
tw ns—that one was a male and the other a fe
male- He sought the assistance of the police,
and the suspected were taken to the calaboose,
when it was made apparent that the landlord's
suspicions were correct. Upon the woman be
ing questioned as to the cause of her unsexing
herself in dress, gave the following account:—
Her maiden name was Phoebe Hays;* thdt she
rvas married to h u r partner in present difficulty
at Plattsburg, N. Y., about 10 months since;
hisname is Ashley C. Baker; that shortly after
her marriage, he proposed going west, and insis
ted upon her adopting male attire, offering as a
reason for so strange a request, that they could
travel at a cheaper rate than if she was known
as a woman. She complied, and from that day
to ihe present, lie has refused to allow her to
resume her female attire. In confirmation that
she was married to Baker, she produced a mar
rrage cert fieate to the Recorder, which corres
sponded with her statement. A police officer
present at the examination, asked her if herself
and husband had not boarded at the Panama
House some time since, and she almitted that
they had done so for three months without detec
tion. She appeared to feel her situation very
sensibly, and shed bitter tears. Both parties
"cie locked up, but no charge appearing against
*he man, he was subsequently discharged. She,
however, was detained in custody, and will be
examined beloie the Recorder this morning.
Hoabe is rather inclined to be pretty, and is 23
years of age.”
A Daughter of Patrick Henry Defending
her Father. —Mrs. D. S. Winston, an aged
widow lady, formerly the wife of Mr. G. D.
msstou, deceased, of Virginia, and who resides
in an humble cottage, near Athens, Ala., is
a daughter °f the celebrated Patrick Henry, of
Virginia, of revolutionary memory; and we no
tice that a late number of the Athens Herald
contains a communication from her, correcting a
steement in Wirt’s Life of Patrick Henry,
wherein it is stated that “ in one of his earlier
purchases of land he is blamed for having availed
nimseil ot the existing laws of the State, in pav
ing for it in the depreciated currency of the
country; nor was he tree from censure on ac
count of some participation which he is said to
have had in the profits of the Yazoo trade.” Mrs
’ lns ton says that Mr. Wirt was not acquainted
with her father, and never saw him, and there
fore had to depend upon others for his informa
tion. Ihe charge was brought against him when
was spoken of as the successor of General
i-hington, a,lt b being conscious of his ittno
cence, he never took the trouble to contradict it.
; rs. Wirt, his wife, and the mother of Mrs.
mston, however, wrote to the Treasures of
' r * u *‘ a : on the subject, aud that officer replied
was paid in gold and silver.—
is ' ’ iuston admits that her fathar was con
cerned in the Yazoo purchase, but adds that the
''ell informed need not he told that many per
-1,0118 01 unquestionable integrity beemie pur
* “Users of the Yazoo stock, and that all the cri
minality ol the affair is attached to the origina
rors of the scheme.”
A Southern Student in Troublk.-A young
man a medical student from the South, who re-
Dsed to give his name, has been held to bail in
uiadelphia under the following circumstances,
“appears a few evenings ago he saw a young

New Use for Potato Vines.
American Female Institute 1
September 29, 1853. \
Messrs. Editorslt may not be known to all
of your readers, that the Sweet Potato Vine may
tie saved during the winter and used the follow
ing spring, in propagating a new crop. I have
tried the experiment during this year, to my
entire satisfaction, and therefore feel it my duty
to communicate the result for the benefit of the
public.
In the fall, (any time before frost) the vinei
Riay be cut in any convenient length, anc
placed in layers, on the surface of the earth, h
the depth of twelve or eighteen inches, cover the
vines, whilst damp , with partially rotted straw,
(either pine or wheat will answer) to the depth
ot six inches; and cover the whole with a light
soil about lour inches deep. In this way the
vines will keep during the winter, and in the
spring they will put sprouts as abundantly as the
potato itself when bedded. The draws or
sprouts can be planted first, and the vine itself
can l*» subsequently cut and used as we general
ly plant slips. This experiment is worthy the
consideration of farmers, as it will save a great
many seed potatoes, (particularly on large plan
tations) which can be used for feeding. Let
every farmer, however, make the experiment
for himself and be governed by the result.
Yours respectfully,

IN offering the services of the steamer FASHION,

we would ask for her that patronage which hor
construction and light draught of water merits.
The Fashion is a homo enterprise and owned ex

and myself, whose entire attention will bo given to
the interest of her patrons.
This boat was built in this city, and great care
has been taken in her construction to make her
worthy of the trade for which she is intended.
Her capacity is about 2000 bales Cotton, her
draught es water only 13 inches, which will enable
hor at all seasons of the year, to doliver hor freight
promptly.
Her entire cargo will be taken between decks,
which will not only prevent damage to goods in
case of snagging, but will add much to the condi
tion of packages discharged from her. Mr. M. A.
Cohen is the agent of this line in Savannah, where
suitable wharves and warehouse have been provi
ded in a central situation for the rccoption of Cot
