I really think it is a shame A woman can’t propose, Instead es waiting tho caprice Os obstinate young b aux ; Our foolish custom ne’er allows A timid m&id to choose; But she must listen to man’s choice, Then take him or refuse. us *hat when leap year comes, This privilege we have ; But tis an idle talo, I vow— We’re nothing but man’s slave. I wish some one would make a law, To take effect direct, That men should henceforth sit, And weman should select. Why, if a woman now declines, If asked some thing or other, And thus lets one proposal slip, She ne’er may ge* another ; But man can poke his nose around And pick where he‘s inclined to, Or he can let the matter pass, Just as he has a mind to. It clearly is a shameful thing, To say the least about it, That man alone should have a cboioe ; Male bipeds, do you doubt it * If custom gives the van to man, Why don’t they do their duty, And pep the question sans delai , To every smiling beauty? A Modern Cincinnatus. In a long and pleasant conversation recently with a distinguished triend, whose mind is rich with the recollections of the past, we gathered many incidents, not the least interesting of which, was the following : At the session of the South Carolina Legisla ture in 1814, the members were perplexed for a suitable man to elect Governor. The difficulty did not arise from any scarcity of candidates, for then, as now, men were ambitious, but irom a want of the right sort of man. The mat ter became worse as the time wore on, and the election of some objectionable candidate seemed inevitable. One day, however, as sever al of them were conversing upon the matter, Judge O’Neall, then a young man and present by invitation, said— “ Gentlemen, why not elect General David R. Williams?” “ David R. Williams, he’s our man—he’s the man,” they all exclaimed, as they began to scat ter to tell the news. The day of election came on, and Gen. Wil liams was elected by a large vote. A messen ger was at once dispatched with a carefully pre pared letter to inlorm the Geneial of his elec tion—request his acceptance, and hoping he would name the day on which he would take the oath of office. After a long hard ride, the mes senger stopped at the General’s residence, in Marlborough District, we believe, and inquired if he was in. He was told that Mr. Williams was over at his plantation. The gentleman said he would ride over as he had a note to deliver to him as soon.as possible. When about half way he met a fine looking man, dressed in plain homespun, and driving a team of mules— Am 1 on the road to the plantation of Gen. Williams?” asked the messenger. ** Yes, sir ; it is about a mile further on,” was the reply. “ Is the General at home ?” 41 No, sir.” ‘‘ Where is he ?” ,l I am Gen. William.” ‘‘You Gen. David R. Williams?” “ I am the man.” “ Don’t deceive me. I have an important let ter for General Williams. If that is your name,” said the doubting messenger, “ here it is,” hand ing the letter to the General. Mr. Williams opened the letter and found to his utter astonishment that, without his know ledge or consent, he had been elected Governor of South Carolina. He took the messenger home and entertained him for the night, prepar ing a note in the meantime, accepting the ap pointment, and naming a time on which he would be in Columbia. The messenger return ed. On the appointed day, a few minutes before twelve o’clock, a man dressed in homespun, and on horseback rode in town; hitching his animal to a tree, he made his way to the Capitol, where he found a brilliant concourse of people. But few knew him personally; but there was some thing commanding about him. He took his seat in a vacant chair; and when the clock in front of the speaker had struck the hour of twelve the General arose and delivered the most masterly speech that had ever been delivered there on any former occasion. The farmer-statesman entire ly electrified the assembly. He made an excel lent Governor. This thing conveys a beautiful idea: Here was a farmer elected; he accepted, and from the plough went to the Governor’s office to preside, in a stormy crisis, over the destiny or a sover eign State. Long live his memory.— Wilming ton N. C. Democratic Press Press. From the New York Correspondent of the Savan nah Republican. Remarkable Character. A genius supposed to be Don Carlos de Cas tro, who has tor the past two or three years figured extensively in the South and West, and more recently in this city among the fail sex, has just been arrested and entombed for identifica tion. It appears from the numerous newspaper accounts that he is a great libertine, a perfect Don Juan in fact, and has played the very -deuce with the fairer portion of creation. The sub joined picture of the individual in question is from the Herald: “This individual is of good figure, between 20 and 30 years of age, about five leet eight inches in height, dark complexion, and an Italian cast of countenance; he wore long black hair, turn ed back behind his ears, touching his coat collar, eyes black with rather a sleepy look, moustache* and imperial. Some of his recent places of ope rating have been Tallahassee, Florida; Cold Springs, Va , and many other places South and West. The modus operandi by which this speculative genius obtained money, is ailedged to be in the following manner: He effects an introduction into some respecta ble tamily, and by his plausible and fascinating manner, very soon attracts the attention of the daughter, who in many instances becomes the victim of the seducer, who, having the confiding girl in his power, threatens her with exposure if she does not furnish him with a certain amount of money. In otner cases, in order to carry out plans with a fuller degree of certainty, he will l» : l suddenly in the parlor and pretend to have convulsions ; a sympathy at once is enlisted by the female portion of the household, and the greatest possible care is taken of him; in addi tion to the fits, he pretends to have weak lungs and expectorates what is thought to be blood* but which is nothing else than some red mixture chewed to represent blood. In gratitude lor all this kindness, the rascal effects the ruin of one of the daughters, and then makes his escape, ta king with him, in many instances, vauables from about the house. Thus this vampire is said to have made his living throughout the South and West for several years past. New York is not exempt from the depredations of this libertine. A merchant called upon the Chief of Police and stated that two of his daughters had been the victims of this man, and some fif teen hundred dollars extorted from them under the fear of exposure. Many cases of this nature are recorded as acts of Don Carlos de Castro. The most curious part about all this affair is the arrest made on Thursday, by officer Brown, one of the Chief’s special aids, of a young man bear ing the lianess, —or at least a very strong re semblance—of a daguerreotype picture, said to be the portrait of this notorious individual. The prisoner denied being the man they ailedged him to be, and said his name was Comilli Alten. However, in spite of all the prisoner says, seve eraf persons have come forward and pronounced him to be the man. He positively denies any knowledge of such transactions as they charge against him. He admits that the daguereotype looks very much like him, but still he peisists that be is not the man, According to his own ffccount be has been in this city over three weeks, k*™ 1 * c°me direct from New Orleans. Prior to that tune he had sailed from Havana, with a ot of sugars for sale, but in consequence of the fever at New Orleans he came direct to this city. The charge on which the prisoner has been m rflt 18 one of threatening the life of Mr. McCharthy, of the firm of McCarthy, & Al m, brokers, No. 15 Wall street, by asserting he would thrust a dirk into him, at Niblo’s Theatre, about a year ago, since which time he has kept out of the way of the police. In this mat ter, like the other charges, he denies being the man, and asserts that they are all mistaken in the identity of the person. However, in the face of all these protestations of innocence, the accused was sent to the Tombs, in default of bail.” A Sanple Clerk. —Jem B. is a wag. A joke to Jem is both food and raiment; and whenever and wherever there is an opening for fun, he has it. Jem was recently in a drug store when a youth, apparently fresh from the “mounting,” entered the store, and at once accosted Jem, stating that he was in search of a job. “What kind of a job?” inquired the wag. “Oh a’most anything—l want to git a kind of a ginteel job, I’m tired o’ farmin’, an’ kin turn my hand to most anything.’ ' “Well, we want a man, a good,strong, healthy man, as sample clerk.” “What’s the wages?” “Wages are good ; we pay SIOOO to a man in that situation.” “What’s a fellow have to do ?” “Oh, merely to test medicines, that’s all. It requires a stout man, one of good constitution, and after he gets used to it, he doesn’t mind it. You see. we are very particular about the quali ty of our medicines, and before we sell any, we test every parcel. You would be required to take—say, six or seven ounces of castor oil some days, with a few doses of rhubarb, aloes, croton oil, and similar preparations. Some days you would not be required to take anything ; out as a general thing, you can count upon—say, from six to ten doses of something, daily. As to the work, that does not amount to much—the tes ting department would be the principal labor required of you ; and, as I said before, it requires a person of very healthy organization to endure it, but you look harty, and I guess you would suit us. That young man (pointing to a very pale laced, slim looking youth who happened to be present) has filled the post for the past two weeks, but he is hardly stout enough to stand it. We should like to have you take right hold, if you are ready, and if you say so, we’ll begin to-day. Here’s a new barrel of castor oil just come in ; I’ll go and draw an ounce ” Here verdant, who had been gazing intently upon the slim youth, interrupted him with— " N-no, no, 1 g-u-ess not—not to day. any how. I’ll go down and see my aunt: and es I o’clude to come, I’ll come up termorrer an’ let you know.” As he did not return, it is to be supposed he considered the work too hard. Mills’ Great Statute of Washington. The preparations for the construction of the bronze equestrian statute of the Father of our Country, are now making good progress. Clark Mills, Esq, the artist, has laid out the grounds of his extensive works near the city, and is pro ceeding as rapidly as possible in the erection of the necessary buildings. He is constructing his own foundry and moulding shops, by means ot which the whole work will be constantly under his own eye. As fast as he is furnished with the required means he will go on with his great national design—a design, when completed as Mr. Mills intends, that will be well worthy of the name of the republic and of its illustrious sire. The act of Congress providing for this statute authorizes the President to contract with Mr. Mills for the erection of a collossal work, not in ferior to his equestrian statute of Jackson in size, finish, and pedestal. For the accomplish ment of this patriotic purpose the sum of fifty thousand dollars is placed at the disposal of the Executive. The statute is to be completed in j five years, and erected in such a spot as the President may direct. It has always been the intention of Mr. Mills that the statute of Washington should be much larger than that of Jackson. He designs it to be the most colossal work of the kind in the world—emblematical of the character and deeds of the man it commemorates. The horse he would make some thirty feet in length, propor tionately high, and with a head ten feet long from the end of the nose to the tips of the ears. The animal is not to be rearing, like that on which the Hero of New-Orleans is mounted, but au rest —and yet in a position of commanding and imposing character. Washington is to be seated on him erect; his cap, of the strict revolu tionary army style, on his head; his left arm resting on his left thigh, his right arm raised and pointing to the distance; and his whale uniform, and the caparison of his horse, in strict keeping 1 with the evenlul times that tried the souls of our patriot fathers. But the most grand idea of this statute, formed by Mr. Mills, is the height at which the horse and rider are to be erected from the ground. He proposes to place them seventy feet high in the air! At this distance the collossal proportions of the great statute will show to the best advan tage. If erected where Mr. Mills desires it should be—directly in the centre of Pennsylva nia avenue, near the site of the present market house, which he would have removed, and a square laid out in its place—the statute will tower above the surrounding houses, and present a splendid object of nati< nal contemplation to the future occupants of the Executive Mansion and both houses of Congress. It could be seen from all the departments, from every approach to, and avenue and street in the metropolis that bears the name of Wash ington. Our couutrymen, and visitors and so journers from other nations, as the flock to the national city will be struck by this great nation al momento of gratitude and affection. Coming up the Potomac, from beside the quiet and hab lowed shades of Mount Yernon, (forever be they preserved as the inheritance of the nation !) the traveller will fix his eyes, often, we doubt not, suffused with grateful and patriotic tears, on the colossal statute of the hero and the statesman whose fame is as wide as the world. Entering the city from any other direction, for quite a distance out, the majestic structure will strike the gaze of the beholder, and fill him with admiration, and inspire him, it he be a patriot at wit * l the most B ra teful emotions. Ihe construction of the Washington statute on this plan will, of course, require a much lar ger sum than that provided by Congress. And we cannot doubt, for a moment, but that it rS t r r ,n \ at once torsuch a Mr. Mills has shown his countrymen what he can do by his equestrian statute of Jackson and we believe the people will nobly sustain their national legislature if they shall invest t> e President with ample powets to enable the dis tinguished Amrican artist fully to complete his grand design. Births, Marriages and Deaths. —Under an act passed by the Legislature last winter, the City Inspector is compelled to keep an account ot all Births and Marriages within the city, as well as of the Deaths. Mr. Downing, a brother of the City Inspector, has charge of the statisti cal bureau. By reference to his books we.find that the number of Births in August was 1846 and in July 1591. The Births for these two months were as follows: J uly. August. Males 831 Males, 950 Females, 760 Females, 886 Whites Males, 825 White Males, 945 White Fema1e5, ....754 White Females. ... 888 Colored Males,. ... 6 Colored Males,.... 8 Colored Females,.. 6 Colored Females,.. 8 Showing an increase in August, of 255 Births. Ihe Marriages in July numbered 492. Ac cording to the records these were all white In August, the marriages numbered 560 • of these 552 were white couples, and 8 were colored. The deaths in this city in J u |y num bered 1052, while in August they numbered 2822. The excess in August amounted to 1770 deaths. This may be attributed to the unusually hot weather in that month, and the large number of deaths from excessive heat. The statistics of births and marri ages are supposed to be very imperfect being the result of the first effort under the new law. Doctors, according to law, must report all births that they are cognizont to, and clergymen all marriages by them effected.— N. Y. Day Book. In his lecture on Monday evening says the Portland Transcript, Dr. Boynton related that wishing to explain to a little girl the manner in which a lobster casts his shell, when he has out grown it, he said: “ What do you do .when you nave outgrown your clothes? You throw them abide, don’t you?” “ Oh, no,” replied the little one, “we let out the tucks?” The doc tor confessed she had the advantage of him there. [From the Charleston Mercury.) South Carolina Institute. Messrs. Editors : The approach of the time when the South Carolina Institute should hold its Annual Fair, induces me to request, that through 5 our columns the reasons may be stated why the Board of Directors have not invited the specimens to be sent, and will not have an ex hibition this year. The great exhibition of industry in the city of New York, which is and has been attracting such universal attention of exhibitors and visi tors, together with the Fair of the Southern Central Agricultural Society of Georgia, to be open on the 17th inst. in our sister City of Au gusta, will have measurably satisfied the public interest in such matters for a time at least. With these considerations, and the handsome appropriation made by the State and City Coun cil, the Directors of the Institute have been en gaged in perfecting all necessary arrangements for erecting a permanent Hall, in which to hold their Annual Fairs. The building will be a large and commodious one, and the Directors are adopting every means in their power to nurse the funds, and accumulate a sufficiency to have it properly completed, and the property turned over to them unencumbered. It was deemed, therefore, for the interest of the Institute, and all concerned, that the Directors should save the expense and forego the year’s Exhibition. The Hall will be speedily commenced, the leases upon the lots selected expiring on the 15th inst. and by the next season it is confidently an ticipated by the Board of Directors, that a Fair worthy of the efforts they are making, will be presented to the public in the new Hall, and such a one has will amply repay the friends and supporters of Southern indu try for any disap pointment they may have experienced. They now embrace the opportunity to invite and be speak from all, specimens of every desciiption, useful and ornamental, to be prepared and sent to the South Carolina Institute Fair in Novem ber, 1854. To those persons who designed sending arti cles to our Fair this season, we earnestly and re spectlully commend them to our kindred associ ation at Augusta. The gentlemen charged with the management of that exhibition are and have been assiduously laboring to develope and ad vance the resources of industry, and our country, with no selfish motives, and from experience, we can say, that a cordial and welcome greeting awaits you. I am, Gentlemen, with respect, your obedient servant, Wm. M. Lawton, President So. Ca. Institute. (From the Washington Union , 9th inst ) The Policy of the Administration-Mr. Guth rie’s Letter. The annexed letters will be read with inter est, as bearing intelligibly upon the policy and position of the administration in regard to the distribution of the public patronage. Washington, Oct. 8, 1853. To the Editor of the Union : It seems thtv public have obtained, through the press, an imperfect statement ot the contents of my letter to Collector Bronson and the other custom-house officers of New York; and as the subject is a public one, I place in your hands a copy of the letter, which you are at liberty to make public. James Guthrie. Washington, Oct. 3,1853. Dear Sir: Since the conversation we had up on the subject of the unfortunate division in the democratic party in New York, I feel more and more convinced that the present disorganization cannot fail to endanger the success of the princi ples of the party there, and to prove injurious elsewhere. But the separation is effected. A conviction has forced itself on my mind that, by democrats pledged to each other upon a common platform of principles, the division could and ought to have been prevented. You are aware that to the principles of the Baltimore Convention and the policy intimated in the inaugural address, the President and his constitutional advisers stand pledged before the w-orld. They have been and are united as one man upon those principles and the policy, and had reason to believe that all gentlemen whe consented to accept office under the administra tion stood pledged to the same principles and policy. As the President understands the principles avowed as the platform of the party at Balti more, all democrats who joined in upholding and carrying out the same were entitled to be re cognised as worthy ot the confidence of the uni ted party, and consequently eligible to official station. That all could not obtain office was ! manifest; and that the distribution could not be 1 exactly equal amongst the different sections ol the party, was equally certain. Yet the distri bution was intended to be so made as to give just cause of complaint to no one section ; and , it is believed that this intention has been carried out, not only by the President himself, but by , most of his appointees in respect to the offices ’ under the latter. It has so happened that your appointments have been very generally made from that portion of the party to which you now adhere. This you thought best calculated to secure union and harmony That desirable object has failed to . be attained; and the other portion of the party feel that they have not been fully recognised by you, and, as things now stand, may not do justice to your motives. I call your attention to this subject, and to the fact that the President and his cabinet, with en tire unanimity, recognise that portion of the party as democrats distinctly avowing and firm ly maintaining the principles of the Baltimore platform, and entitled to be recoongnised by ap pointments to official stations in your depart ment. Allow me to express the expectation that you will so recognise them in the only way that will carry conviction with it. 1 have not hitnerto deemed it necessary to make any particular inquiry with regard to the section of the democratic party to which persons nominated for positions in the custom-house at New York belonged prior to the re-union of the party in 1849, which re-union was supposed to have been thoroughly cemented in the great and triumphant contest in 1852. But, as the pre sent excited state of feeling among political friends who acted togther in 1852, and who now stand unequivocally upon the same platform of principles in New York, is suggestive ot a dis crimination of which the administration will not approve, I shall send a copy of this letter to the naval officer and the surveyor of the port, in or der that there may be no misapprehension as to the policy which the President will require to be pursued. 1 am, very respectfully, James Guthrie. G. C. Bronson, Esq., Collector, New York. Howard Association —Distribution of Sur plus Funds. —At a meeting of this noble and praiseworthy Association, held on Thursday i evening last, the following distribution of its surplus funds was made.

We have received from Messrs. Geo. A. Oates & Co., the following new works : The Rudiments of the Arts of Building, for the use of Architect*, Builders, Draughtsmen. Machinests, Engineers and Mechanics, edited by John Bulloch, editor of the American Arte san. This interesting volume forms the second of Stringer & Townsend’s Architectural Series lor the people. It is of lasting value to every one engaged in the art of building, and is just the work that has long been wanted by a very large class of our community. It is written in a style which brings it within the comprehension of every body, and is so copiously illustrated that the most ignorant reader can, by a single perusal, take in,at a glance, the successive steps assen tial to the construction of a building. This work contains one hundered illustrations, and it is put up in elegant cloth binding, at the low price of 75 cents. Jane :Selon, or the King’s Advocate, by James Grant, author of “The Romance of War,” “The Aid-de-Camp," Ac. inis is another of Stringer & Townsend’s publications. In noting it the Literary Gazette savs : 1 his work will find hosts of readers, and with good reason. It is a work of genius—full ofinterest, freshness, incident, sprightliness,depth and strength. To our thinking,it is equal to Scott’s Ivanhoe.

Mr. Marct’s Letter.— The Boston Times says: “As an evidence of the power of Mr. Marcy’s letter on the Koszta affair, we will state that on Saturday last an intelligent Englishman! after perusing it, was so pleased with its tone and spirit, that he immediately took the initiato ry steps for becoming an American citizen. He had previously undecided whether to take up his residence in this country or not.” A severe blow was experienced in the vicini ty of Boston on Thursday night and Friday.

Scarcity of Vessels and High Rates of Freights —The large business in breadstuff’s for export has caused a material advance in freights at New York, and the supply of tonnage, it is said, is inadequate to the demand, 38,000 bushels of wheat were engaged for Liverpool on Monday at 12d. a 12£d. closing firmly at 13d To Havre a ship was taken up at 75 cents for flour, and 19 cts. for wheat; besides, about 5,000 bbls. flour were taken at 80 in lots, and 20 a22 cts. for wheat. A ship was taken up for Bristool. (E.) with flour and wheat at Is. for the former, and a new ship from Bath, to land deals at St. John’s, N. 8., for Liverpool, at 120 s. Within the last year grain to Liverpool has been as low as 4d, but now firm at 13d. Vessels are unusually scarce, and are wanted in all directions.

Robert Walsh, the well known Paris corres pondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, whose familiarity with European politics renders his opinion of great weight, in a private note by the Arabia says : “ As to politics, I am still con fident of a pacific solution.” The New York Courier & Enquirer takes the opposite ground, expressing a confident opinion that war between Russia and Turkey is inevi table—adding that “ Turkey has probably be fore this time, unfurled the banner of the pro phet, and charged home upon her invaders'.”— From the concluding portion of the Enquirer’s I article, we make the following extract: “ The four Powers may side with Turkey or : they may desert her—it matters not, the war will speedily come. Russia may muster an over whelming force, may make a demonstration which it would seem madness to resist—it mat ters not, the Turks will fight and fight desperate ly. The Sultan, surrounded as he is by the re presentatives of Western Europe now “be seeching,’’ and now “ besieging,” cannot yield if he would. He would scarcely say yes before he would find his brother on his throne. He has not yet given the least sign of yielding. He has exhibited a spirit thoughout that will secure the respect of the whole civilized world. He is in the right. Even those vi ho have been laboring to move him from his position would freely ad mit it. Being right, he has a claim to the moral supporhof Christendom. True he is a Mehom medan, but in all the Continent of Europe there is not one country in which all religions are so freely tolerated. Russia calls itsell Christain, but its religion is not the religion of Christ, tor it is a persecuting religion. It is a religion which makes its converts at the point of the bayonet. It is a religion which shows mercy to neither Protestant nor Catholic—neither Esthonia nor Poland. Russia will not be in possession of Turkey a week, before all the Protestant mis sion established, which have accomplished such great benefits, would be visited by the same ex- , terminating stroke which fell with such fatal ef fects upon the miesion in Georgia.

Wo would recommend to the Inferior Court the propriety and necessity in haring doors or shutte put upon the shelves in the office of the Superior and Inferior Courts, for the purpese of better pro ! tcction to thepapers belonging to those offices; ai# to have banisters to stair case repaired. We recommend the Superior Court to guar j t€ the public moneys belonging to the county, wj believe there has been great waste to such fundi in granting to the Sheriff extra fees to theamoui of ($120) one hundred and twonty dollars. Snci demands upon the county should be made clearly to appear by a regular bill, made cut by the fiber iff and examined by the Court, that the seni«, were rendered and no extravagant charges madi thereon. This is only a practice that has been in use for years, and we believe it is a practice thu should be abolished instanter.

There is at present, orders granted by the Inferior Court, unpaid—and these orders are fer I the sole use and benefit of our pauper population I They have no other means of obtaining a subsis-l tance, and it is our opinion that money paid for I extra services should have been kept in the tain I ry for this charitable purpose. The great waste i I the funds, in our opinion, calls fora decideddisap-1 preval from us, and our duty as Grand Jurors, I compels us to notice this fact. | We would respectfully call the attention of tie I Inferior Court to the transcribing of certain oil I books in the office of the Superior Court. There I is, in our opinion, nothing wanting to make tbeitl books perfect and plain to every man, but an ail phabet to oach of them ; this can be easily done I and at much less expense than transcribing tin I whole. We, therefore, respectfully request thebl ferior Court to put an immediate stop to it, and the same time make suitable arrangements to ham H them Alphabeted ; and this to be let out to till lowest bidder. The interests of the county, and,titl state of the Treasury, imperatively demands till action on our part.
