If’’we could be transported back to the year
1812 and locate ourselves in the great metropo
lis of our country on a bitter cold nigl in Jan- i
nary of that year, we might behold as me well
fitter) to chill the current of life in or r\ i ns . A .
bowse on fire is under all circumstances, a fear- ,
ful thing, but it seems doubly so fearfully ter- I
rific, when it occurs at midnight, and in mid
■win‘er.
I have seldom seen a more thrilling illustra- 1
tion of this than on the occasion referred to. I
The mansion o: a wealthy merchant was found >
to be on fire; and before the family could be
awakened or rescued, the flames had burst out j
on every side, completely enveloping the house :
in their rgnbraesr.
At this juncture, a young and beautiful lady, {
the daughter of the Merchant, appeare'l at an
upper window, and begged to be saved from the I
devouring element. Her father saw her. and of
fered untold money to him who should rescue
his loved child from the horrible fate that seem
ed to impend over her. No one seeme i to few- j
sess tin- courage to undertake the fearful task. !
Her criei Ije'afDe more frantic; her father '
raved like a rnanMC; a deep, breathless excite- |
ment swayed the mighty ctowd to and trn.
Sorn© police officer at jength crie<l <>’*t to her,
atifl bade her “ jorop. e.rvd he would catch her.'
*Do no Mich KMiiish thing; don't jump; wait
a moment; exebimed a young, he »;d«ome sailor,
who now made his way through tt ; «rowd A
few moments elapsed, and the v-nd ae.-xmLjage
saw the sailor b“dd© the lady at th. window,
and they greeted him with a loud arid cheering
shout. Hp disappeared again with the lady, and
all the people lie low were once more hushed in
a breathleMfltillneM. anxiety rested upon
the most thoughtless heart, (or no one could be
bo dead to human feelings, 2h to rare nothing for
the safety and success ot the daring Bailo<-.p»v,
who had so bravely risked his life to save the
stranger's.
A few brief seconds, fhat*eemed to the exci
ted mass ot living bodies in the street, a» long
as days usually are to us, had parsed since they
left the window ♦hey had not been seen or
heard. The wal -■ hegari ♦< totter ; the fire war
den warned all to btand back; the roof fell in.
and the walls came thundering down, throwing
the sheets of ihme far up towards the dark sky,
and sending the fiery sparks up ‘o sail amid the
stars. The people were as still for a moment as
the grave; the next, nothing coyld be heard save
the hysterical shrieks of the women ; the raving
cries of the crazed father, and the saddened tones
jn which the officers gave their orders. Thus,

( About five minutes after the fall of the bull. ing.
onr gallant sailor appeared, leading forward the
merchant’s daughter. As soon as he was recog

An Heiress for a Sixpence.
A beautiful young heiress had become so dis
gusted with the flattering set nf sot>-pated po
-1 matnm-hnired moustache-lipped, strongly per-
I fumt I suitors for her hand, that she shut herself
I from the fashionable (?) world : turned all her
! property into money; deposited it all in banks;
—donned a cheap waidrobe; put on a mask and
. went ned©fitnan-hke. through the ritv in which

of late had knelt at her feet, and sued for her
hand. They 7 knew* her not. and casting a look
of scorn upon her veiled lace, and coarse ward
robe. hade her u begone!” She entered the
country—here she met with derision and scorn
A few’kind-hearted people, it is true, bestowed
aid : but t' ese were of th© poorer class, who had
baid work to procure their own daily bread, but
they «muld rot turn a fellow-creature hungry
i from their door, and therefore gave a small pit
-1 tance from their scanty store.
; One summer’s day a large company met on
Beach. Thev were mostly from the
' city. The disguised heiress, from some cause
or ot! or, had wandered there. She asked alms |
iof ci e or two, termed ‘upper tens.” I'hey j
1 spoke tauntingly, but gave nothing. What they |
i had said had been heard by quit© a number of;
. their company. Most of them laughed, or look-
ed as if thev thought it " served her right!’’ ' ;
The lieggar woman turned about, and was walk- '
j ing sadly away, when a well-looking gentleman ;
stepped forward, and catching hold of her arm. , <
j thus *noke:
“S‘ay ! my good woman—tell me what you j
' want ill
She replied, in a low trembling tone, “I a
[ sixpence— onh{ a sijrpcncc
u Yen shall have ten times that amount ;
Here.” he added, drawing from his pocket an
cag’e, and placing it in the gloved hand of the i
woman, “take this; if this is not enough, I will
give you another.”
The heiress returned the eagle, exclaiming: . '
u I want a sixpence—only a sixpense ?”
Seeing that she could not be made to take ; '
the coin, the gentleman drew forth a sixpence, |
and gave it to the strange being beside him, 1 1
who after thanking the generous donor, walked '
slow! v away. After being laughed at for so! 1
doing by his comrades, he set out in pursuit of i ■
the beggar woman, saving :
“ Perhaps she is an heiress—or angel in dis- ■ ,
gui«e I mean to ascertain.”
Nn t that he thought tnis. He wished to show '
his indifference to what his comrades had said, ■
besid < satisfying himself about the strange 1
female whom be had aided. He soon overtook ' '
her. and thus spoke :
“ Pardon me. madame, for pursuing you, I '
would know more aboift you.”
A® the speaker ceased, the mask dropped from
the fare of the female, and th© beautiful heiress |
was portrayed before the astonished gen Hernan.
That they were afterwards married, the reader i
has already imagined, for the heiress used this (
means of procuring a worth}’ husband, and the 5
generous gentleman bad long been looking for ‘
"an angel in disguise ”

An Act of True Heroism. t
Among the acts of h©ioi«m bv which thisca- 1
tasDnphe was distinguish©*! was one deserving
particular mention. A young man named Rrnok I
Carron.who saw th© tram make th© fatal piling©,
leaped into th© wa*er and swam a distance of] i
nd near *h*> O'/i tibg tee rope I . . . t
it was held, he rowed to on© of the si ki "gears, t
and saved the lives of Mr. Nathan Harris, hi®
three children and nurse. Then, witn a strength 1
which appeared almost incredible, he broke in 1
the sides and ton nt the ca- witn an axe, and j 1
rescn©d several others. His feelings at the time <
were of the mn®t painful character at the horrid ! '
sight- presented by the struggling and dying oc- ; :
enparfts nf the car. whom he told us he cnuld se© i
distinctly endeavoring to force their wav through
the w indows or ‘be roof, some with their lace® I
horrinlv mangled by the broken fragments. It >
was a. «c©re which might appal the bravest, vet
the noble fellnw continued, even after all at
tempts to save were useless, to remove the bod
ies in his boat- Had h© any person tn assist him
a® efficient a® bbnself. a still larger number would
have been «av©d ; but h© was first at the wreck
and the delay of ©ven half a minute was suffi
! cient to accomplish the fatal work He remain
ed ftt the work until his almost superhuman px- j
er t on» had rendered him unab’e to give further ;
assistant, and. in fact, until askance was use- |
less. When he landed, Mr. Harris, overcome I
with gratitude towards his brave deliverer, ran ]
to him, and with tears in his eves, presented his ;
pur®© as a small recompense for the invaluable |
service he had rendered in saving his life and the •
iivps of his children ; but Carroll, with a true :
manly feeling, refused any re ward, satisfi-d with ,
the of having performed what he j
considered his duty. (Seeing that he could render ;
no further aid, he hastened home to change his
clothing, which were completely saturated. An
‘ act of heroism like deserving a more sub
stantia! reward than mere praise, and should be
marked bv some public testimonial. It is true
the act was prompted by a noble impulse, and
not by anv mercenary feeling, but there is away
j of rewarding such conduct without making it
t offensive to the recipient.
Mr. Carroll, at the time of the accident, was
i in company with Mr. O. S. Ferry, and prepar
ing to go on a shooting excursion . He is at
piesent living in Norwalk, to which town he

residence in Brooklyn. We can ill afford to

An Interesting Couple.—A diverting inci
dent occurred on Sundy last in this city, which
excited at the time much m©rriment and no lit
tle speculation as to the names of the dramalit
pernnntr. H appears that a young couple in the
county of Chesterfield, despite the peremptory
commands of th© girls pa and th© .leremiahcal
‘ lamentations of her ma. determined that they
, womd get married. So off they started for
' on Sunday evening, en route for North
Carolina, where'they designed consummating
their b’ : -s. Th fc y had hardly reached the cars |
j and got comfortably ensconced, when. Io and j
behold, pa hove in sight, mounted on a mule.
whose ‘ides he w’a® uclaboring with heels and j
stick in a manner piteous to behold- Ihe lover i
perceiving him became terrified besought |
the crowd for God sake, and a« th«y valued (io,
mestic happiness, not to permit th© old man to
tear him a wav from his intended bride, and that
the old man if he caught him would kill him.
His appeal was not loet on th© crowd : they
were evidently disposed to B©e the fun go on,
even though they hadn’t a finger in it them
selves : so they toll! him to go in the cars and
i keep a bright look out on his sweetheart 'and
they will manage her pa. About this time th©
old man arrived and dismounted. Puffing and
i blowing as if in opposition to the locomotive, lie
asked the crowd “Have y-yori seen a c-couple—
i ‘'Without waiting for the conclusion of his ques
• tion, a dozen voices shouted at their top, ‘*Y©s! just
! gone to northern depot ” He asked no further
j questions, but mounted his mule and ga’loped off,
1 confident of securing h's prize In the mean
' while, the cars containing the couple started for
Weld©n and the crowd who furnished such op
i portun© aid dispersed. Th© lovers, we suppose,
by this time are married, and the old man has
realized the tru»h of the Adage, vinf.it

Interesting Ohapter on Snakes.
A paper was lately real! before the Boston
Society of Natural History, from Dr. W. J. Bur
nett, on the character of th© rattlesnake. The
i doctor had been experimenting on two or three
sr>ecinn©ria of this animal, and announces the
. discovery of numerous embryo poison fangs in
j the jaws of the snake, immediately behind th©
outward fangs The u«e of these bidden weap
j <Mi4//f destruction appears so be to supply the
I [pare m tf.e I itjng fangs of the serpent when
they ye* broken off or worn out in service. I»
it l«o appears that the long (two in number)
I w*hich ar© used in inflicting the deadly Jiite o’
the rattlesnake, are naturally shed ©very few
years, when they are not injured by accident or
enr. and th© reserve fangs are sufficiently nu
m©ro-... to meet the worst emergencies. From
minu'• rn)cr o >, opal examination of the struc.
ture o’’these teeth. or. [I. concludes that there
pre tv o canals in each fang. /> o ly one nf which
cHnv/' ,, / t th© [»oibon to the wound. Respecting
th© cl.arh. ter nl the poison itself, the doctor re
marks as follow
There is good reason for the belief that its
action is th© same upon all living things, veg©
tables an well as animals, ft is even just a®
Mai to the s»i?ke itself, as to other animals, for
• Dr Dearing, n( Augusta Geo , informed me tha*
one of his specimens, after being irritated and
! annoyed in its cage, in moving suddenly, acej
, dewtally struck one of its fan gs into its own
body ; it soon rolled over and died, as any oth
er animal would have done. Here then, we have
the remarkable, and perhaps unique philosophi
cal fact. ol a liquid secreted directly from th©
blood, which proves deadly when introduced in
to th© very source (the blood) from which it
was derived!”
In order to scrutinize by the aid of the mice >-
scope the op- ration of this deadly a ent on the
blond. Dr. Burnett stupefied one of the fiercest of
his snakes by dropping chloroform upon his head:
“ Twenty-five or thirty drops being allowed
to fall on his head, one slowly after the other.th©
sound of his rattle gradually di»*d away, and in a
few minutes be was o ludlv under thi® agent.
He was then adroitly seized behind the jaws
with ’he thumb ©nd fore linger, and dragge d
from th© cage and allowed to partially resusci
tate ; in this stift© a second person held his tail
to prevent hi® coiling around the arm of th© il'st,
while a thir l opene I his mouth, and with a pair
nf forceps pressed th© fang upward, causing a
flow of poison which was received on the end
of th© scalpel. The snake was then returned
into th© cage.
Bl'od was then extracted from a finger, for
close microscopical examination. The smallest
quant’d vof th© poi -on being presented to the
| blond between the glasses®, a change was im
mediately perceived—the corpus-I-'® ceased to
inn and pile together, an ’ remained stagnant
without any special alteration ol structure. I he ,
whole appearance was as though the vitality oi
the blood had been suddenly destroyed, exactly
asindea s h from lightning. This agrees a’so
with another©xperimAt performed on a (owl

Troubles in the Dominican Republic. '
Th'* New York Herald of Saturday contains
an interesting account, translated from public 1
State documents, of the resolute measures adapt
ed by General Santana, President of the Domini
can republic, (not Santa Anna of Mexico), in
bringing the Archbishop of San Domingo to a '
sense of his situat on as a subject of that govern- i ;
ment. His Grace having declined to take the | <
oath of fidelity to the constitution, as prescribed j
by law. was cited by Santana before the nation- ' ‘
al Congress, and there reiterated his refusal, at ! c
the same time stigmatizing the constitution as I
a cursed and heretical one. and declaring he , .
would exile .i mself rather than submit to the ;
Presidellt’s ©xi gency.
Santana very* po itely handed to the recusant i y
prelate his passport, and. with a generosity , {
which does him credit, issued on the same day a |
decree commanding the Ministers ol War and |
Marine to place at bis Grace’s disposal a nation- . ,
al vessel, and also directing the Minister ot th© ;
Treasury tn hand to his Grace the handsome !
viaticum of four thousand dollars. ,
But this good Archbishop having before bis 1 j
eyes th© face of his brother of New Granada. ;
recently exiled under somewhat similar circum- y
stances, be»»an to relent in his resoluteness, and
finally wrote to President Santana, stating that
he was willing to retract from the position bp , S1
had taken, and would on a certain specified day p
take the prescribed oath of fealty to the constitu
tion. The President, as if to signalize his tri- 1
umph. ordered that the event should be celebra-* d
ted with great pomp in the holy cathedral v
church, and tfiat te drums should be sung in all
th© ebnrehe® of San Domingo
Thus, remark® the Herald, by* the display of a i
firm, bold and patriotic resolution. G» n. Santana
has effectually curbed the ambitious political in- |
triguesof the clergy, who. according to his own /y
declaration, had led the country into a state ol -
anarchy*, and had menaced its very indeppnd- p
ence. The President, in his addre®s Lithe Con- It
gross and people, recounted some of th© political
doing® of the ©cclesi stical body, but shrunk p
from giving, at that time, a fid! expose of all ’hat <
had com© tn bis knowledge concerning their p
tr©a®onable designs Our correspondent, how- p
©ver, fills un He void thus left, an 1 states that p
there was a conspiracy afoot between the late
President Baez and th© clergv. to surrender the y
liberties o’ the country tn France. *|
Th© existence of this ©onspiraev fully accounts ;
for the seizure intended bv the French of the p
terpri--/ was Mun eony -qurec© n© b n .p.
the determined stand made again.-t it bv the i*p
American press, in and <!enonncing p
th- whole scheme, and which wa® attempted t o
be explained away as a simple putting in of the
fleet to refit. It also accounts for the subs©- ,
qn©nt visit of the Spanish war ®H»amer Isabel |
Catolra. to the port of San Domingo, carrying t(
Senor Torrient© as an envoy from the Captain-
General of Cuba to President
likewise easily explained t! e policy adopted by
Baez in revoking th© promises held out to coin- tl
nist®. and opposing th© intender! scheme of s'
American emigration, got up bv G©n. Green, n
and o’h©rs. Gen. Santana has however, luck- h
ily. penetrated the conspiracy, bumbled the e
proud prelate, and saved for the second time the u
liberties of his country. The next best tlr ng
he can do. would be to encourage th© ©migration b
of a few thousand American backwoodsmen, o
and then be might bid defiance to Solouque. the t<
Jesuits, the Franco-Spanish alliance, and all t
creation. — Savannah Ncws t 18th inst. c

Advertisements tn the last Century v
Advertising has come to be a prodigious institu- c
tion ; but its origin was humble. A lady who a
has lately written a history of the fine old Eng- c
lish town of Norwich gives some amusing spe- t
cimens of the advertisements published in the f
journals of that place a hundred years ago. In f
the year 1738, a new book was advertised : )
thus:— I
‘“An Authentic History of the Ancient City J
ofNorwich? by one Thomas Eldridge, who also i
could provide his customers with 4 neat Jamaica ;
rum, fine branrly. Geneva and cordial waters. ” (
About the same date appeared the announce- 3
ment of a new arrival from London ; i
41 is to give notice to all persons in the ;
city, that right over against the Three Feathers '
in St. Peter’s of Hungat©, there is one lately c
come from London who teaches all sorts ot (
pastry and cookery, all sorts of jellies, creams ,
and pickles, also, all sorts of coliering, and pot- j
ting, and to make rich cakes of all Jsorts, and
everything of that nature. She teaches for a ; <
crown down, and a crown when they are fully t
learned, that her teaching so cheap may encour
age very many to learn.”
In June. 1708, a dealer in the national com- 1
modity of malt sets forth his kind intentions to ’
h s customers as follows: —
Mr. Augusta de Clere, of Norwich Ihorpe, I
have now very good malt for retail as he for
merly had ; if any of his customers have a mind
to take ot him again they shall be kindly used ■
! with good malt,and as cheap as any body can sell.
You may leave your orders with Mr. John de ;
Clere, Hotpresser, living right over the Ducking
Stool, in St. Martin’s of the palace of Norwich.”
The mention ot the Ducking Stool in the
1 above, revives historical reminiscences not a
j few. Ducking, in those days, was a part oi the
I regular and irregular administration of the law, 1
j applicable to witches, beggars, vagrants, and
I other undesirable arid to be got rid ot persons.
| The advertisement annexed is of a somewhat
Ipter dat© :
Notice ?s hereby given that on Thursday
and Friday next, being sixth and seventh of
June, 1734, a coach and horses will be set out
for London, from Mr. Thomas Bateman’s, St.
Giles, and perform the same in three days,
itfote.—The coach will go either by Newmarket
or Ipswich, as the passengers shall agree.”
The distance from Norwich to London is, we
believe, scarcely a hundred miles. A very cu
rious specimen in the Norwich Courant opens
thus:
‘•Whereas, Mrs. Cooke, at the pastry shop
near the three steps, has charged Mrs. Havers ,
with embezzling to the quantity of two yards of
padash way, out of her suit of clothes, turned up
side down two years since, and made nt lor
a much less person ; clothes having been
viewed by several rnantua makerfl. the same ap
pears to be a most malicious slander, etc.”
These advertisements afford another illustra
tion of the remark, that, f r historical purposes,
the advertising columns of newspapers ar©
more cerviceable than those more pretentious
ones which are devoted to the editor’s ” able
lea lers,” or 44 our own cofrespondent’a circum
stantial narratives We venture to assert that a
better insight into the life of England, in the
eightftuith century could be obtained from a
judicious collection of one hundred advertise
rnents froip old newspapers, than can h© gleaned

Death of Major George L. Twigga
It becomes our painful task to announce the
<|pnth ol Major Gkorok L. Twiggs, b well
known nro ninent and respected citizen of this
community.
Altera lingering and painful illness frf tliir
teen weeks, he died at 7 r. M. on Monday, at his
summer residence, nine miles below the<ity, m
’lie sixty-lourth year of his age. Thoijgh ol
powerful frame and iron constitution, l<t had
been lor several years in failing health. He wa«
one of the survivors on board of the ill-fated
Pul.'ski. wrecked in June 1878, and never en
tirely recovered from the effects of exposure lor
five days and nights upon a portion ol the wrek
In some degree the cause ol the paralysis under
which he suffered in his final illness, can I”
traced Io that memorable and appalling event.
Major Twiggs was the second son of Gen
John Twiggs of Revolutionary memory, who
was distinguished for bis patriotic services dur
ing that frying period in the history of our State,
and brother of Major General David Twiggs of
the U. S. Army. He was an intelligent, skilful
and successful planter, and obliging neighbat
an upright honorable citizen.
He leaves a name and a memory to be re- ,

ry Advertiser, of 17th infant) the death of Reu
ben C. Shorter, Jr.. F.sq.,at his residence in this
citv. on the 14th inst., after a protracted illness.
His death has produced a deep sorrow among
bis numerous friends and acquaintances. His
gentlemanly demeanor, upright deportment, and
Christian virtues, recommended him to the con
fidence of all with whom he came in contact.

Coercive Temperance.—On the subject of : j
temperance coercion laws, Governor Seymour I 1
of Connecticut, says : .
“ If is much to be regretted that it should be i 1
thought advisable, in any quarter, to resort to '
statutes ot doubtful import m aid of a great I
moral reform. In vain may we look for any 1
lasting good from laws, however they may be
enforced for a time, which are not clearly based f
upon correct principles. An act for the sup pres- £
sion of the en ire trade in spirituous liquors, t
better known by the name of the State where it i f
originated, and which is commended as a model i ( i
for legislation here, has lost none of its objec- I ,
tionable features during the discussion it has eli- | „
cited. 1 «
“On the contrary, it is seen more plainly than c
ever, that it strikes at the foundation of rights, ;
which, if once overthrown, will leave the door s
open for any arbitrary exercise of power which -
a majority, however obtained, may inflict. An |
original inherent conviction of the injustice of j
the proposed law has been strengthened and con- f
firmed in my own mind by subsequent reflection, j
to which the recent decisions of the courts have |
lent the weight of high legal authority.” j
Cotton Packing.—A writer in the Barnwell
Sentinel records an experiment made in packing £
Cotton with a new press, the invention of Mr. 1 -
J. B. Armstrong, of that District. He thinks i '
this new invention may supersede the screw— ]
which was first applied to packing Cotton by a I j
citizen of that State, we believe, who is now a j
resident of Laurens District. From this account j ]
we extract the following: i <
The cotton put in a bag we saw packed was . '
only 390 pounds, being ali that was handy, the I ’
bag was packed in twelve minutes, and the 1
screw run down in two minutes, showing a ’
rapidity of execution far exceeding the one now .
in use. The contrivance, like all permanently ,
useful inventions, is a very simple one, and I
scarcely think more liable to get out of order 1
than the common press or screw. It is adopted
to steam horse, or water power, and I think it
unquestionably a most successful invention.
Another opportunity will be afforded for the
curious or interested to witness the operation ol
Mr. Amstrongs’ press, at Capt. Peeples’ mill
again, whenever another bag ol cotton will be
packed on a day not now ascertained; but of
which the public will have a due notification.
I am satisfied that all who see it will go away
with the same impress that I did, viz : of aston
ishment tlhat a discovery so simple,so admirable
and so almost indispensable has not -been made
before.
The perfect ease with which the cotton was
forced into the small compass desired, was truly
astonishing. The gate was shut down when
the follower lacked three inches of being up,
and some apprehended some difficulty in start
ing it again. But the gate was cracked scarce
ly three inches, when the press was in full mo
tion again, apparently with undiminished speed.
I am forced into the belief that this invention is
an eminently successful one; nnd 1 have no
doubt that Mr. Armstrong vzill be in the end
amply rewatded for the genius, ability and per
severance which he has displayed.
The New York Mirror gives an account of
the theatres of its city, which shows that
they are making vast sums of money. Bur
ton, it says, is clearing from $40,000 to $50,-
000 per annum. Wallack has cleared $30,-
000 since he opened his establishment. Ihe
other theatres arc reaping similar harvests. Os
the opeara the same paper says :
“The “Grand Combination Troupe” at Ni

17'1 feet higher than the topmost window of St
Paul’s spire. The tower will be finished with a
"I'ire and flag staff, in all titty feet above the

Columbus at 7 o’clock in the evening—thus ma
king the trip through in fourteen hours, the dis
tance being within a fraction of 300 miles.
Female Labor.—The New York Day Book
says—and truly, too—in connexion with some
remarks on the present high prices of labor in ail
departments of industry, that:
“ It would be for the interest of all hands to
change the practice of employing men to sell
tape, ribbons, laces and other knicknacks, to that
of employing girls. The latter are more adapted
by their physical capacities.
It is a false .a cruel pride that compels woman
to toil severely in their homes at labor that a i
servant at six dollars a month could perform,
while their husbands measure oft’tape and lus- i
tring at S3OO a year* instead of pursuing more:
active and appropriate duties at twice or thrice
that amount ofcompensation.

nominated for Congress by a meeting of demo
crats who are opposed to General Millson, the
regular democratic nominee T. Reeves, Esq., ■
democrat, had been previously announced as an I
independent candidate, but refused to run.
Charitable and Religious Contributions
—The aggregate receipts last year of fourteen of I
the religious societies whicl celebrated their an
niversaries in New Yoik last week,were $! .124.- j
486, being an increase of $120,000 over the pre
vious yeat. Including several societies not re
ported, it is estimated that the whole increase is j
from 150,000 to $175,000.

Scottish Justice.—A poor man, half a cen
tury ago or more, was tempted to violate the
game laws, by shooting a deer, the penalty for
the offence being a line of five pounds, or in de
fault of funds, thirty lashes. He gave half the
deer to a neighbor, who had the mea"ness.after- i
wards to comnlain ot him in order that he might !
get half the fine; the law being that half must
go to the informer and halt to the king. The;
offender was convicted, and fined accordingly : ■
but plead that he had no money. “AVell, mon,”
said the magistrate,“we mun ha’ the lashes then.”
The poor man was submissive. The magistrate
then said to the Sheriff, “take that man. the
informer, tie him till von tree, and gie him fif
teen lashes, which will be his half : and when
King George come over, we will gie him his
half. Half till the inlormer and half till the
King.”

' Great Iron Failure.—Some anxiety has
j prevailed within the last fortnight in the iron
■ market, and has occasioned many rumors of im-
I pending difficulties, which are now, however, '
I understood to be adjusted. For many months an
; enormous speculation for a rise had been known '
I to be going on. in which the well known Mr.
; George Hudson was stated to b“ a prominent 1
1 operator. A Mr. Attwood, who formerly pos- ]
! se-sed extraordinary wealth, and was still sup- '
posed to be rich.was likewise mixed up in them, j '
Accordingly, when the heavy fall, amounting ; |
to about 30 per cent., took place a month or two | '
back, it was assumed that the position of these :
parties might be critical, (although the majority J
believed that they had ample means.) and the 1
fact that the existing doubts were not without ,
foundation, was shortly confirmed by the an
nouncement that the acceptances of Mr- Att- ,
wood had been dishonored. Tbeir amount was ’
j first rumored to be £500.000. but the real total
! was £120.000 , and it is stated that the pay- j J
I ment of this will merely be delaved until a sale ; J
| can be effected of real estate. Meanwhile, the ! '
' probable position of Mr. Hudson was a subject ! 1
of general discussion, as it was understood that ■ !
his name figured 'o a considerable extent on the ; *
! paper negotiated by Mr. Atwood It has sub- ' J
! sequently, however,been notified that he has : '
raised money on mortgage to meet all his obli- I 1
I gations as they come due. Whether be will ■
have much property left a s the close of the at
fair is a point upon which there are great varie- I c

A Washington correspondent of the N. Y
Herald says:—Of the four parties to be detail
ed, under th© direction of th© War Department,
to make ®f> •- ■evs and of the various
routes to the Pacific, the organization of the
party under Mr. Stephens, Go 1 ernor of the new
territory of Washington, has already been pub
lished. The instructions wore to-day given for
the second party, under the command of Lieut.
Robert S Williamson. It is to be composed as
follows: Lieut. R. S. Williamson and Lieut. J.
G. Parke, of the corps of Topographical en
gineers, and Lieut. C. B. Anderson, of the In
fantry ; also, on© mineralogist and geologist, one
philologist and naturalist, two civil engineers,
and one draughtsman. The selection of th© in
dividuals to fill these positions has not y©t been
made. This party will sail from New York on ♦he
20th inst. for San Francisco, to commence ©por
tions. It will ascend the San Joaquin to the
Twelve Lakes, and explore the various passes
leading through the Sierra Nevada. Having
determined the most practicable route, it will
return thence to the mouth of th© Gila, and pro
ceed to San Francisco. Lieut. Williamson ha®
selected Dr. Herman, of Philadelphia, as physi
cian and naturalist, and Professor Mather, of
Ohio, as geologist and mineralogist of the expe
dition. Th© party tinier Lieut Whipple, of the
Topographical engineers, is designed to operate
on the most southern mute practicable within our
territory, and will proceed from the Mississippi
weston about the same parallel that Lieut. Wil
liamson’s party takes from the Pacific comins
east. Leaving som© point on the Mississppi
river near or south of Memphis, a reconnoisanc©
will be conducted to Rio del Norte, in the vi
cinity of Albuquerque, New Mexico ; thence
westward a pass will be sought through th© Si- '
erra Madre.and the most practicable route across '
the Colorado and by Walker’s Pass to the Paci- ‘
sic. Lieut. Ives, one of the assistants in this |
party, will proceed at once to Albuquerque to j
hasten operations in that quarter. Th<® fe the '
route specified by Mr. R. H. Kern in his letter :
to Mr. Gwin, last January. The party under '
the command of Capt. Gunnison, ot the Topo- |
graphical engineers, will proceed to the Rocky j
Mountains, in the vicinity of latitudes 37 30 and !
and 38 degrees, to examine tfye practicability of 1
the passes through this range in that region. :
The Arkansas river will be left in the vicinity of ■
the Huerfano, and that stream followed to near
its source. Thence the valley of San Luis, near
the head of thr Rio Grande, will be entered bv j
the most practicable of the three passes found .
there. The valley of the St. Louis will be fol- I
lowed to its northern extremity, whence jhe <
waters of the Grand River will be struck by
passing through the Coo-chu-to-pa Pass. The ■
country on th© western side of the main river
will be the next portion of the route until the
Spanish trail is intersected. Either that or the
region lying east of it will give the final portion »
ot th© roifte to th© Mohave river, or Walker’s
Pass, in th© Sierra Nevada. This is the roifte
on which Cnl F’emont met his disaster, in the
winter of 1848-49. and recen+ly advocated by

The same writer then adds some telling truths

can be called “relief” which is merely enough

of the Abolitionists:

not be admitted among the Free Soilers. There

do they not make even the free negroes "Hale

But to return to Mrs. Stowe’s work. The N.
York Christian Observer, the leading organ of
the religious denomination to which Mrs. Stowe
belongs, closes its review of her novel in the fol
lowing language :
The work is, to sav the least of it. a smutty
story ; quite too thmiliar with the kitchen and
ths parlor of the debauchee, and the numerous
yellow mistresses who have the honor of pre
siding in their midn’ght scenes of corruption.
Another prominent editor adds; “We have
always considered' it a vary doubtful book, dis
graceful to its author and a libel upon the coun

Sketch of the Life of the Hon. Hiram Warner*
of the Supreme Court of Georgia.
The Hou. Hiram Warner was born in the
’ate of Massachusetts, on the 29th of October,
802. When about seventeen year-of age, he
•< ne to Georgia, and alter visiting the upper
irtg of the State, was employer! as an assistant
■acher in the Academy at Sparta, in Hancock
■ounty. Fears were entertained that his youth
nd inexperience would disqualify him fromdis
harging hrs rluties ; but during his entire cen
-ction A itu ' Academy, he was able to give
irera sa' i-fur*l ion
Having determined to make the profession of
rre law his business, as soon as he could quali
z himself to enter upon its duties, he occupied
he time r ot spent in school, in'legal studies.
I' the fall of the year 1824, Ire was admitted to
ractice in the courts of Georgia, and shortly af
erwards Ire gettl-d at Knoxville Crawford coun
y. By unremitted attention to his duties, he
very soon secured an extensive practice.
In 1828 Ire was elected a Reprerw-iitative to
■he State Legislature, from Crawtord county,
rrid continued to represent that county until
1831. Judge Warner’s course as- a le--is ! ator
vas always independent and liberal and al
though generally acting with his political friends,
bis kind behavior to his opponents commanded
' heir respect and good feeling. Whilst a mem
her of the Legislature, he in rod need a bill to
alter the Constitution so as to abolish the prop,
mty qualification of Senators and Representa
tives, contending, iii a speech which he mad.Ht
support of the measnre, *’ shat a r
—l'J'V*.'’'
The bill, however, was lost; but at a subsequent
session was passed, and is now a law ot the land.
We have heard of an incident connected with
this gentlerrian’s political career, which reflects
great creilit'upon him, and which, we hnzard
nothing in saying, is not common at the present
day with candidates for public favor.
When a candidate before the people, he was
opposed <tn the v round that he had refused to
pledge himselfto vote for some public officer,
who was to be elected by the Legislature, and
whom a majority of his constituents, it was
thought, preferred. His opponent had pledged
himself, if elected, to vote for the officer, and on
the Saturday before the election, at a regimental
muster in the county, making a speech, the
question was put to him. “ whether he was wil
ling to make a similar pledge ? ”
u I may or I may not vote for that officer, but 1
will not degrade myself so much, nor those whose
suffrages 1 seek, as to make a pledge in advance as
to what. 1 may or may not do as their representative.
If the people whose suffrages I seek, have not. from
their knowledge of my general character, sufficient
confidence to believe that I will honestly and faithful
ly represent their wishes and interests, then vote
against me; but if they have such confidence, I
should be extremely happy for them to manifest it
at the ballot box on Mimday next.’ I — This noble
answer was appreciated by the people, for they
elected him by an increased majority.
During the nullification controversy, Mr.
Warner was directly opposed to that movement,
not b; lieving it to be either a peaceable or con
stitutional rmedyfor the alleged grievances, and
was a delegate from fbe county of Crawford to
the anti-tariff convention, which assembled at
Milledgeville in 1832, and was one of the sece
’ rlurs ~ > that body, with the late John Forsyth
I and others.
Dui ing the session of the Legislature of the
year 1832, a new circuit was formed, called, the
' Coweta circuit, ami of which he was elected
judge In 1836, he was re-elected by nearly an
unanimous vote, and continuer! to dircharge its
duties until 1840, when he was removed, for no
other reason it is supposed, but that he did not
vote the Harrison ticket. He then returned to
the practice of law with his usual energy, and it
is affirmed that he realized at least ten thousand,
dollars by his practice, for the year 1841. In ’
December, 1845. the Supreme Court of Georgia
was organized, and he was elected one of the
judges for the term of four years, and in 1849
was re-elected for the term of six years, by al
most an unanimous vote. He residrs upon his
plantation in Merriwether county, neai Greene
ville. To agricultural pursuits he is much de
voted, and U’ like most of professional men,
makes good crops. Os this distinguished gentle
man, it may be truly said that he has been the
architect ol his own fortune, and that is the only
aristocracy which ought to be aeknowleged in a
republican government.
He has always been remarkable for energy
and perseverance. In 1849, he stated to a gen
tleman, that during the seven years he was on
the ber.r h of the Superior Court, be never fail
ed to holrl a court at the time prescribed by law,
either in his own circuit or for some judge u ith
whom he exchanged circuits, and that during
the five years, from 1840 to 1845, he never failed
to attend any term of the court, both regular and
adjourned, which was held in the circuit; that,
,L..... ——— ’-eon L
of tne Supreme Court, he had never failed to be
present at every term, which had been hold its
the State, making the aggregate, a period efsix
teen yeais. within which time, he to ver failed
, to attend eveiv term of the courts, to which bu
siness called him. >
There are some in.eMei.ts connected with
Judge Warner’s adminis’ratiou of the laws,
which have r,o« generally been kn< wn, and a
i recital oi which y.’e believe will be interesting
j to our readers.
- Judgt: Wan er presided at H e firs’ court, held
St Marietta. Cobb county. The population, like
that nJ the greater part of new ly settled .nun
tries was composed of many rough and lawless
persons, which rendered decided and summary
action necessary on the part of the presiding
officer, to maintain the authority ot the court,,
and the supremacy of the law ; there was no jail,
and nothing but a small log cabin en-cteo ’or the
administration of justice, and just in the rear of
which, there was a small enclosure about twelve
rails high, intended for a horse lot During the
session of the court, a man somewhat intoxica
ted, or prelending to be so, became very boiste
rous. disturbing the business of the court. The
Judge ordered the sheriff to take him away, and
request his friends to keep him away, but in a
j few minutes he returned more vociferous than
[ ever, cursing the court and its officers, telling
! the Judge to put him in jail and be c d..
j The Judge hesitated for a moment.and then very
deliberately ordered the sheriffto take the dis
turber ol the public business and place his head
under the horse lot fence, until he became sober.
The sheriff promptly executed the order, and.
shortly afterwards, when he was wanted in
court, he could not be found, and it was ascer
tained that, in obedience to what he considered
the order of the Judge, after putting the man’s
neck between the heavy rai's of the fence, about
two feet from the ground, his body on one side,
and his head on the other, he had taken his seat
on the top rail of the fence above his prisoner,
that he might be securely kept. The prisoner,
however, soon reported himself sober, and was
released. The next morning he met the Judge,
and after thanking him for his imprisonment,
said that he had made a sober man of him during
life. This decided conduct on the part of Judge
j Warner prevented any further disturbance of the
court.
j Soon after the organization of Murray coua
] ty, the e were two parties, called the Bishop
j and the Anti-Bishop parties, among which there
was great exci’ement. Owing tosutne prejudice
that existed. Bishop and his friends were un
willing that the then presiding Judge of the
Cherokee Circuit should hold the Court for the
trial of the causes ia which they were interested,
and therefor? the Judge of that circuit proposed
to exchange Courts with Judge Warner, so that
the latter might preside at tire trials in Murray.
An eye-witness says : “Judge Warner arrived,
at Spring Place, tire county site, early in the
morning of the day th» Court was to beheld,
and found the litHe village nearly surrounded by
a company es United States soldiers. The Judge
having ordered breaklast, was shaving, when a.
communication in writing was banded to him
by the late General Steelman. Upon opening
the latter he found it to. be from Capt. Buffing
ton, of the army, informing him that by order
of Colonel L'.u’lsey. of the United States army,
stationed In Tennessee, he had repaired to Spring
Place for the purpose of enabling the Judge of
the Superior Court to execute the laws ot Geor
gia, and tendering him his own services and that
ot his command.
The Judge immediately calling for a pen, ink,
and paper, replied to Capt. Buffington’s com
munication,assuring him that however highly he
might appreciate the motives which induced
Col. Lindsey to order Capt. Buffington and his
command to that place, to enable the Judge of
the Superior Court to execute the lawsof Geor
gia, that he was not aware that there, existed
any necessity for his services, or that of his com
mand ; that Georgia was abundantly able to ex
ecute her own laws, and that so far as that duty
devolved upon him on that occasion he expected
to have no difficulty in doing it without his as
sistance. In leas than thirty minutes after the
receipt outlie communication the soldiers’tents
were struck, and Capt. Buffington and his com
mand were on their march to their quarters in
I'ennessee. Several of the Anti-Bishop party
implored the Judge not to send the soldiers away,
the women cried, and said they would all be
killed, the Court could not be held, &c.
When the tune arrived for opening the Court,
the Sheriff was relm fant to go to the Court
House, saying that he wa,& certain he would be
’ killed before the tria.lj were over. The Judge
assured him thqt he should be protected—took
him by the arm, walked to the Court House,
opened C”uH, and, during the term, tried Bishop
and other important criminal causes growing
■ >ut of tire Murray difficulties, without the least
disturbance. Judge Warner’s coniVict on this
■coasi.in was th- th-m-of adm’fli’ion.
Os Judge Warner's legal qualifications it is
scarcely necessary to spi-vK, . s tt-e e' idences of
’heir high order hava been already developed in
the positions to which he had been so repeatedly
elevated.
The characteristic feature of his mind is jf g
remarkable logical force. His'efforts at the bar
and his decisions on the bench, alike disc'ose this
feature. His style is Iree from ornament, and
with an unusual directness he npnreaehes’ and
discusses the question, controlling every case
Not one redundant word, not one of repetition
and yet complete. Hislon-uage, with perfect
accuracy, convey prsciaely the idea intended.
