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. !

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 I . • ..b <. ... ...MOV. A< vjfj SO much di'pHyi H«Mi Rhe WlWf 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 ” Th° h.nnpy hi 'band is often heard to say, that ; ’ h© go 4 - an u h©iress for a sixpence.”— Northern ] 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.

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.

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 .

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.

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 I e 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 Iro n the whole of Smolln’t y tedious history of kings and cabinets.— Home Journal.

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.

Paine, S. E. D. I i 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 blo’s was engaged at a nightly cost of SIBOO ; and generally there was not over that sum in the house, and oftener not over SI2OO to SISOO. Topav one “star” «7000 a month and another SIBOO a month, and another »JOO a month ; and lor sing ng only twelve times, is out of all reason and cannot be sustained even in this extravagant ci y.

The Express gives the e following description of it: I • The tower is an octagon. 75 feet in diameter s aftlie base, with an extreme height of 350 feet. It is ot tiiirfie . well braced with iron, and is anchored ct each of the right angles with about 'oytv tons of stone and timber.

Then comes four open stories, above which is the second lauding, 225 feet 'tom terra h.'’na Passing three open stories, we reach the highest hndine. 300 feet from the I'-ase. and by reason of the high ground, about 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 highest landing,thus making the extreme alti tude from b •to top of pole just 350 feet. The * ost will be alidiit $250,000.

The passengers will take breakfast at Grif fin’s and dinner at Fort Valley, and will arrive in 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. Virginia Election.—The election in Vir- [ ginia for members of Congress, the Legislature, and the Board of Public Works, takes place on Thursday, the 26th inst. and both parties are rallying their respective forces for the occasion The democrats in some of the Congressional Districts are considerably divided, while the whigs are apparently well united. In the Nor folk District, Gen. Francis M. Boykin has been 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. New Power PriAs—The Milwaukie AVis- ; consin'says that Mr. S. D.

'I he Wisconsin says it has not seen the press in operation, hut has such.confidence in the in vention as induces it to defer the purchase ot a press, until it witnesses the result of this experi ment. 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.” From Norwalk.—The “ wreck of matter” at Norwalk was on Friday collected into a pile, and consumed with lire bv orderof the company —leaving no vestige of the late calamity. The I engine was lifted out of the mud, and placed I upon the track, by a powers d steam derrick ■ brought from New York. The engine was but I little broken.

' 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.

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.

' ■ ! Tan Way it Works— A New York corres . I pendent of the Boston Post, in allusion to Mrs i !

That every i twentieth person (exclusive of the paupers) is ' ' homeless except j n a prison—and last of all, that ! every twentieth woman subsists on the fruits of . infamy! These statements are not made by , me—l ropy them from the authentic statistics | of England, and refer von to the London “ Se ! quel to Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” just published, for confirmation. [The Post itself thus boldly hits the hypocrisy of the Abolitionists: The question is settled. Free negroes will not be admitted among the Free Soilers. There j is nothing in this country that eomes quite up to ! the Abolition aristocracy. ! Why.do not the sympathizers practice what 1 thev preach towards their black brothers? Why do they not make even the free negroes "Hale fellows well met?”] 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 try.” Do you hear these things,Mrs. Harriet Beech er Stowe? East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad.— The Knoxville Register learns from Mr. Lynch, the Chief Engineer of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, that he has put under contract the grading of the road between this place and Strawberry Place. The work will be com menced in the course of ten or twelve days, and will be completed within one year- The work has been let to several contractors, who will push it forward energetically. We are glad to laarn from Mr. Lynch that the work an other portions of the road is pro gressing finely. The contractor for the masonry of the bridge at Strawberry plains has his work about half completed already. The contractor lor the masonry for tie bridge across the North Fork of Holston (near the Virginia line.) has that work almost completed, and will in a few days, commence upon the bridge across the Wa tauga.

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.
