AIHHJSTA, (xA. 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 d j }’. about 15 years of age, standing at the door her guardian’s house, and although a total 8 ranger to her, and she to him, he step;*ed up handed her a bouquet, which she thoughtiess ) received.

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, P. A. Stobkl. (Sfnrrol JUwrrtisrmrnts. Jessk Osmond. Hemphil Gray.
