highly spoken of by the British critics, that we

Domestic Affection.—The ancients exalted
domestic affection into a household god, and one of
the most beautiful antiques now preserved, is a
gern representing the draped figure of a woman
worshipping this deity, as it kneels upon a pe
destal. Croly wrote the following sweet lines
upon it :
Oh! love of loves! to thy white hand is given
Os earthly happiness the golden key !
Thine are the joyous hours of winter’s oven,
When the babies ' ling around their father s knee:
And thine the voice that on the midnight sea
Mells the rude mariner with thoughts of home,
Peopling the gloom with all he longs to see.
Spirit' I've built a shrine ; and thou hast come.
And on its altar closed—forever closed thy plume !
A Biro Visitation.—We learn from an au
thentic source, that in e-veral of the Northern
counties of the State, the foilage of the forest
trees has been, in certain districts, so generally
devoured that most of the limbs are entirely
stript of their leaves, by a brown bug, which
flies at. dusk and settles upon them. It is about
an inch long, and about a quarter of an inch in
width across its back. It has nothing peculiar
in its appearance. During its flight in the eve
ning, the air is filled with a low roaring or hum
ming noise.— Cm. Com.

Reader, no one ‘ would have thought it,” but
’ the inventive Mrs. A., the credulous Mrs. 8..
s an I others of a like kidney. The youth Z. bad
. called upon the lair “Cornelia” but once after
bis introduction to her at Mrs. H.’s, and then he
1 'whs so “o'ercast with timidity- that he scarce
| spake three wqids to the one that these gossips
would have it he was to be married, to.
But to resume the dialogue. Here Mrs. B
gave evident signs that the room of Mrs. A. was
better than her company. -Mrs. A., after fitting
lor an hour, indulging in various matters of gos
sip. arose to depart; which demonstration did not
meet with the'disapprobation of Mrs. 8.. as it
would nave been evident to the most casual ob
server. (ifany had been preseui,) that there was
something upon her mind which sorely troubled
and perplexed itt So soon as the form of M"rs.
A was fairly out of sight, Mrs. B. hurriedly

moß white handkerchief over her head, and with
as quick a step as the rules ol polite society per- I

the stairs,) tire compliments usual upon such
meetings had scarcely passed, when escaped from
the lips of M rs. B.: r I have a great secret to tell
you—promise not to say a word about it—do

perfectly exhae-’ed. anil of course a
sued. The mild Mrs. C. was then permitted to"
’ speak (and we feel grateful that her tace is not
yet extinct.] as follows; “From the relations
f c,f confidence and friendship that exist between
Cornelia's family and mine, I feel satisfied if '
such an engagement or marriage had been '
upon the tapis. I certainly would have been in
formed of it. Be assured, Mrs. 8.. that Mrs. A. I ;

5 a dozen words with her. Take my word for ft, ‘
there is nothing in it. Do not talk about, a mat
ter which is so unprofitable, and let us talk about •
something.’’ These remarks did somewhat cut I
the feathers of Mrs 8., but this lady was incor- i
rigible, and as soon as she could disengage her
self from Mrs. C., she sallied out to the next
house and there meta kindred gossipping spirit,
to whom she retailed the whole matter, with
many embellishments drawn fiorn a reservoir
inexhaustable. viz, her imagination. No. 3 start
ed out, and before daik it was in the mouth of
every man. woman and child within the incor
porate limits of whatever town this scene may
be laid, that Z. and Miss Cornelia W. were to
be married on the Wednesday following.
This is one of the many harmless scenes of j
gossip which daily occur, yet there are others al- I
most amounting to slander, to which we do not ; ,
choose to allude. Reader.such a state of things |
in an intelligent, well-educated community are i
to be deplored: and is it not the duty ot that i
community to rise up and frown down all who |
are disposed to trade in a commodity whose only I
profit is heart-burnings, jealously and tears?—|
We intend, when we encounter one of these 1
w gossipping clubs,” to take opposite sides, and :
use what little sarcasm we have in ridiculing
the petty employment in which they are en- j
gaged, and in defending the victims of their un- I
ruly tongues.

It is related of Antaeus, whJSfrfred W?Wres
tle with the gods, that, if they could by any:
means induce him to leave his mater terra, and
grapple with them, they found little difficulty in
worsting him ; but so long as he could keep his
feet firmly planted upon his native soil, he was
more than a match for them.
When men outgrow their true position, and
aim to live removed from the cares and duties of
life, like Antaeus, lose their footing and fall. In
order to battle successfully we should never
forsake our sphere. Thousands are kept poor by |
apin" the customs and notionsof the rich, and I
thousands who are rich become poor, because
they are to ■ proud to use the same efforts to
keep that it requires to accumulate. The fol
lowing is an excellent hit at this species of aris
tocracy : , ~
It is always a petnloris thing for haughty peo

Twenty years ago, says the Merchant’s Maga-

They are acquainted with both ends ot society,
as their children will be after them, though it
will not do to say so loud. For often yon will

moneyed rank.it is not hereditary—it is acces
sible to all ; three good seasons of cotton will
send a generation of men up, a score of years
will bring them all down, and send their chil
dren again to labor. The father grubs and grows
! rich ; his children struts and use the money;
their children inherit the pride, and go to shift
less poverty ; their children, reinvigorated by
fresh plebian blood, and by the smell of the clod,
come up again. Thus society, like a tree, draws
its sap from the earth, change into leaves and
blossoms, spreads them abroad in great glory,
sheds them off to fall back to the earth, again to
mingle wi'h the soil, and at length to re-appear
at length in new trees and fresh garniture.

Interesting Facts,
A Pennsylvania Journal of Prison Discipline

- tracts from Mj Boudin, contain some facts which
are pe. uli.uly interesting at the" present time.
M. Boudin protests against the prevalent notion
of iitan’s being aide to adapt himself to all cli
mates. and to take up his abode in all parts of
the earth. The reviewer asserts that all history
shows the folly, not to say the wickedness, of
man's endeavors to set aside the natural laws,
which lest bn climatic influences, and the differ
ence of races. The following extract is given
from M. Boudin : .
“ From the earliest times to our own day, we
see the European fail in all’his attempts at ac
quiring a permanent hold on the land of Egypt,
where, also, the negroes and the Mamelukes are
shown to be incapable of procreation beyond the
third generation In Corsica, the Italian termi
nation of family-names proves, of itself, the ina
bility of the Fiench to establish their stock in
that island. Where, in the north of Africa, are
the descendants of the Romans and Vandals ?
Why in America, after passing the iltijh degree
off latitude, do we meet with slavery every
where, unless the elevation of the laud mitigates
the deleterious influences of an excessively in
creased temperature ? 'lt is apparently because
the Europeans have entirelj- failed, in this zone.

The deaths among the Africans of New York
are twice as numerous as those ut the whites in
the same city.
It is also stated that the number of the thick
population in thfe West India Islands is progres
sively decreasing, and this in a moss remarkable
degree. The deaths are most nufnerous among
males, being nearly double those of the
nemales. The decrease from which the greatest
mortality arises, is pulmonary consumplion! An
intelligent gentleman, who has visited the West
Indies, suggests that the cause is want of ade
quate (particularly of animal) nutriment. No .
reason has been assigned for the greater mortali
ty of the males than the females. A similar i
was noticed in the vital statistics of New Yqrk I
city. It is computed that, at the rate of diminu
tion—a tenth pait of the whole population every
tour years—the negro race will have almost
ceased to exist in the British West India colonies
before the termination of another cerftury.
The Reviewer expresses the opinion that, for
health and length of days. Central,
Western Africa, is the most favorable spot for
the African race.

The old Countess of Desmond, who died in
the reign of James I prontitfneed Rlchayd 111 as ■
a man as she ever danced with.—£x-
“The, countess must have lived longer than
people do now-a-days. Richard 111 was killed
in 1485. King James commenced his reign in
1603—an interval of only 118 years. There
fore, to have danced with Richard, even on the
day of his death, and to have died on the very
day James I mounted the throne, would make
the old Countess to have lived about 135 years.
But to have danced with Richard when he was
a young man and in his dancing days, and to ;
have died about the middle of the reign of James,

Reading ffie"above ex Wrt fttfrnTTe Albany !
Evening Journal, I thought it might interest
your readers to have the facts relating to tbe i
Countess of Desmond, as I noted them down [
from Walpole several years ago.
“ The Countess of Desmond lived to the age
of 159 years, danced with Richard,! 11, and af
firmed that he was a well-made man.”
She was 87 when she married O'Conner of
Sligo.
The Ear] of Desmond's first wife died in 156-1;
if he remarried the next day, his bride must have :
been sixty-eight, and yet the had a son arid five
daughters by him.
Lord Bacon, says Fuller, computed her age to !
be 140 at least, and added that the three times I
had a set of new teeth. , I i
An extraordinary anecdote, given as authen- :
tic, relating to this lady, by Robert, the second :
Earl of Leicester, who received the accounifrom
Lady Desmond “ That the old countess came to
England to solicit a pensieut at the end of Queen
Elizabeth’s reign, and was poor that she walked
from Bristol to London ; her daughter being too ,
decrepid to goon foot, was carried in a cart.”
“ The Countess,” says Lord Leicester, “ might
have lived much longer had she not met with a
kind of violent death, lor she would needs climb
a nut tree to gather nuts, so falling down, she
hurt her thigh, which brought on a fever and
that fever brought death.”
She was born in 1166, died in 1625. making
her 159. Femme.
What is Love.
A brief question is this, but one which has
I given rise to a thousand and one answers.—
Among the best definitions we have seen is one
we have in our scrap-book, plucked doubtless
Irom some one of the many ephemeral produc
tions of our day.
“ Love,” says our author, “is the fragrant, deli
cious flower which passion engrafts on the ever
green. Friendship ”
Not bad—indeed we might go so far as to say,
i “ decidedly good ” Don’t you agree with us,
girls and young married people? Boysand bach
l elors we leave out of the question, for the simp'e
reason that they don’t know what feeling is, es
pecially when made up, in the language of one
of our favorite old songs, of
“ A Friendship which, like lovoj is warm,
A love, like friendship, sternly.J» ,’■ 7

love of accumulation, which or
wants could not conquer.

Sketch of a Gentleman.—Moderation, de
corum, and neatness distinguish the gentleman ;
he is at all times affable, diffident, and studious
toplease. Intelligent, and polite, his behavior
is pleasant and graceful. When he enters the
dwelling of an inferior, he endeavors to hide, if
possible, the difference between their rank in
I life; ever willing to assist those around him, he
. is neither unkind, haughty, nor overbearing. In
the mansion of the great, the correctness of his
rnind induces him to bend to etiquette, but not
stoop to adulation; correct principle cautionshim
to avoid the gaming table, inebreity, or any
other foible that could occasion self-reproach.
Pleased with pleasures of reflection he rejoices to
see the gaieties of society, and is fastidious upon
no point of little importance. .Appear only to be
a gentleman, and its shadow will bring upon you
contempt; be a gentleman, audits honorswill
remain even after you are dead.— Memphis Ea-

Cows Holding vr their Mii.k.—A few
years ago J bought a young cow, which proved
to be very wild, and when I took away her first
calf,she would not give her milk. 1 heard it re
marked,that putting ajweight on the cow’s back
would make her give her milk down. I accord
ingly drove her into a stable, got a bushel of
grain and put it on her back. While kept in
this position, she had no power to hold up her
milk, for it came down freely. Aftei doing this
a few times, and afterwards putting my hand on
the back of the cow, it would give way and she
would immediately give down the milk.—Culti

Mineral Wealth of East Tennessee.
CLEVKLANn, Tenn., May 21'.
The copper mines of Polk county, in this
\ State, Wh situated on the waters of the Oeoee
River, district ol country known as Duck
Town, near the corner of Georgia and North
Carolina, Mfithin 35 miles of Cleveland, on the (
East TennrtjU-e and Georgia Railroad ; up
the present tittae there have been but two com- ;
parties engaged in the working of the mines •
(known as the Hiwassee copper mining com
pany, and the Oi-oee mining company,) with a
force of nb nit sixty men each, at a cost ot about
SI2OO eath per month. This force gives regu
lar employment to 25 to 30 wagons in the trans
portation ol tbe ore to the Railroad.
The ore is the black sulpburet of copper with
traces of the yellow sulpburet coming in below
and found in regular and well defined veins un
der a heavy bed of iron, at the depth ol Irom 12
to 90 feet from the surface and ranging Irom 8
to 22 feet in width, so far as the two properties
have been tested. The ore taken out by the
miners is found immediately under the iron, and
the quality shipped to New York' varies in rich
ness from 14 to 70 percent,, the average beins
from 25 to3o per cent. This you will see sur
passes anything now worked, as the aveiage ’
ore taken from the Couwall mines for the last
year was only 5| per cent. 30 per cent ore is
worth in ma,ket SIBO per ton; cost of trans
portation to New York from the miies is S,.S

a distance ot miles, which will make a saving
of 40 miles wagon transportation and a saving of
. $7 50 per ton on the freight, and making the
net profits on each ton of 30 per cent, ore, $154

’ In addition to tbe two companies now opera
ting eight others have been lately formed and
purchasM as many separate and distinct pro-'
■ perties in the same neighborhood upon wliicli
ore of the same description was been found ami
equally rich They arenow preparing to com-
, mence operations and will be under way in tho
next four or five months, thus making ten dis,
tinct companies all taken toge her that wii]
1 employ not less than 600 regular miners and
' cause an expenditure tft the hands -alone ot no'
■ less than $120,000 per year, or $12,000 per
I month, besides the shipping by wagons to tbe
Railroad: which service will j-equire for the
ten companies not less than 120 to 150 wagons
at a cost of SIOO per day; making $120,000
mure to be expended at and near the mines.—
Besides there are three properties in law upon
which rich ore has been found that must be
worked as soon as the suits are determined.
These mines are part of the country purchased
from the Cherokee Indians under the treaty of
I'ls. and were boiisht from the State of Ten
nessee in 1842. a porrlirt atl2ic, and another I
fmrtion at one cent per acret, mostly at the last'
price, and sold lately in to 160 acres by
the original grantees, at priee®! rom $6,090 to j
SBO,OOO each.cash. Such prices, you will know, I
could not fail to create excitement in tl e neigh- I
borhood, and in Jhct jn the whole country, and
real estate has gone ureall over I he country, even
'.' here there isno probability of finding.mineral.
j There are still a number of other places in the
| same vicinity upon which copper will be fotind,
i as the'surface indicatjonsßire very good indeed.
No man can goto the region in which it is found
without becoming excited, as the indications on
the surface are such as to-prove to any one,
whether he is skilled in mining or not. that the
“operations so far are only the beginning, and that
many other mines must be dev< lope,! soon.
I'he'iact is. th it this is tobe the richest part
of the State, and that copper will be found in the.
same belt lor a distance of 40 or 50 miles, run
ning from the Ocoee River North 23 degrees,
East to the Tennessee river, and probably fur
ther. Work enough has been lately done at
Coco Creek, Monroe county, 25 miles northeast
cl the Decktown mines, to prove that copper
will be found there ; and I am of the opinion that
other metals, tin, silver and probably quicksil
ver will be found in the same mountain region.
The Hiwassee company, some time since, in
making a blast on the rivSs,blew offin one mass
a piece of ore that would have weighed 3 tons.
This they had to break up so as to enable them
to raise it out of the tunnel. They were able
from this mass to get up one piece of ore weigh
ing over a ton.
I mention thi» fact to give you some idea of
the quantity and character of the ore. Y'o-i can-

The Tiger.
We copy from an English magazine the fol
lowin'- narrative of an encounter with a tiger in
the jungles of India. It is evidently written by
an officer ol the British army, and is both af
fecting and interesting : .
“ I had never before seen anything in the
shape of a tiger, and was struck dumb with as
tonishment. Not so my little Moor boy ; he
was the son of a famous shikaree, and 1 believe
he had never seen a tiger any more than my-
1 self. He had often heard his father talk ot hi.-,
exploits among the wild beasts of the forest ; he
knew me to be a Griffin, and h.s little heart
II V -Ll_ S.L._ onncnmlKHPC:; nl Slinprilll'
swelled with the proud consciousness ot superior |
skill in woodcraft. ‘ Suppose master please,
said he, drawing himselt up and assuming an
air of much importance. ‘ I show sahib ho wto
kill that tiger; I know very well hurrah shikar
business.’ In my simplicity I looked upon the
■ daring little imp who talked thus confidently ot
killing a panther, with a degree ot respect al
most <■ mounting to awe, and without hesitating,
hut myself under hrs guidance. According to
his directions I extracted the shot from my gnu.
and loaded it with some bullets which 1 -hap
pened to have in my pocket. Nowthen, ex
claimed my young shikaree, as he placed me be
hind the shelter of a large stone, directly in
front of the cave- 1 Now, then, I show sahib
how to make the tiger come. Sahib make a
tiger eat plenty balls; tha* proper shikar bust
nrss.’ So saying, he marched directly upto the
entrance of the cave and began to pelt the liger
with stones, abusing him at thg same time with
choice Kindest mee slang. Sure enough, this did
make tiger come with a vengeance. Tny 11 -
raaed brute, uttering a shrill roar, darted horn
the cave, seized the by by the back ot his neck,
threw him over his shoulders,and dashed down
the hill like a thunderbolt. My blood curdled at
the sight, but I instinctively fired and I sup
pose I hit the beast, for he instantly dropped the
boy, who rolled into a daik ravine at the loot
of the hill The panther having disappeared
in a neighboring jungle, I descended into.into
the ravine to look after little Kheder.
There he lay weltering in blood, dreadfully man
vied and evidently in a dying state, but still
quite sensible. The gallant little fellow never
uttered a complaint, but fixin*, his large blfCu
eves on mv countenance, as it he could there
read his fate, asked in a faint tone of voice lor

some in mv hat, when ! wasstarth-d >y a surly
grow I, and noise of some animal sup filing among
the brushwood, whjch closed over mv head and
almost excluded the. light of day. It was the
panther, who had returned My first impulse
was to fly. and leave the boy to his late; but poor
Kheder, seeing my intention, fixed bis glassy
eyes intently upon me with an imploring look,
which cwt me to the heart, and made me blush
for very shame. Kneeling by his side, 1 raised
his head, wiped the bloody froth from his parch-
f i--edlins and poured a few drops of cold water
I .Liwn his throat This appeared to revive him,

But you will tell him, shib,that I died like a
shikaree. I was not afraid of the tiger—l
never cried out when f felt his teeth crouching
through my bones 1 No I I struck my knife in
him twice. See ! that is tiger’s blood ?’ and his
glaring eyes flashed wildly for a moment as he
• held up a bloody knife, which he clutched firmly
in his right hand. ‘Father will be proud to
hear this ; but my mother will cry very much,
and her heart will turn into water when she
hears that lam dead.’ And here, for the first
time, the hot tears began to trickle down his
cheeks. Fora few minutes he remained mo-
■ tionless, with his eyes closed, and the big drops
' stealing slowly and silently through the long
I silken eyelashes. But suddenly starting up,
I with his eyes bursting from their sockets, and
gasping painfully for breath, he screamed as if
in a fit of delirium. ‘The tiger has seized me
. again! Save me, sahib, save me !’ cried he in
a hoarse voice; ‘ 1 feel his teeth in my throat ;
i my breath is stopped ! Ah !’ he gasped like a
r person drowning—his eyes turiied in his head
■ till nothing but the white was visible—his jaws
f became firmly locked—a cold shudder ran
i through his limbs, ami the gallant little Kheder
; fell back in my arms a stiffened corpse.
1 “ I vias young then, and unused to death, and
B that scene has made an impres-ion on my mind
t which will never.be obliterated. All this time
i the panther continued to pace up and down the
/ edge of the ravine, nearly on a level with my
head, growling fearfully, ever and anon poking
5 his snout into the bushes, and snuffing at me as
i if debating with himself, whether or not he
should jump down. Finally however, he left
i me.”

“The Southern Belle.”
This is Mil appropriate and attractive name of
a magnificent Engine manufactured at the Win
ter Iron Works, Montgomery, Ala., and recent
ly exhihiW-l to the admjiing gaze of the citizens
of that place. It has been manufactured express
ly for exhibition at the World’s Fair in New
Yorkj and is now, we presume, on its way to
that city. A friend, writing from Montgom
ery, furnished us with the fol lowing description
of t’his beautiji! and costly engine
“The Winretlron Works have nearly com
pleted the most gftrgeous Engine for the World’s
Fair that 1 have ever seen, and as highly finish
ed as a chronometer. All who have seen it ap
pear confident of its taking the first premium. It
is worth soj& B^o,.'to $7,000 —is stout enough
for r 50-hol' 7k ,It leaves for New York
next week. * ' , -
“ As a spJ sUlfill' mechanism it is
‘ s y le - - .xiSKasiiu£sMUm!&
nc plus tdti' be deceived it-the Y an
kees can si- v its equal. The Engine which
was sent .'om the same works to Macon and
Charleston and heat al! competition, is not to be
named in the same day for elegance or finish.—
It is realljx, emphatically superb. Some good
judges havc!j expressed the opinion that it sur
passes in style and equals in workmanship the
famous Mi F Engine in Philadelphia, that cost
a mint of irr.oney.' It is about four months since
the were drawn. Every thing about it
is original. There is nothing like it “in the
heavens alfoye, the earth beneath, or in the wa-
ters under the earth.” Brass work, iron work, ■
steel worVTplans and patterns are all Southern,
ami mainly of Alabama iron.
Such a piece of mechanism is highly credita
ble to Southern proficiency in the useful arts,
and the itesiilt of its competition for the first pre
mium shiield be watched with great interest by
every Soithein man. Achievements like these
are wants to develop her power
and resources. Such enterprises will do more
for her industrial interests and her commercial
independence tian all the Commercial Conven
tions that caj^a»sembleand all the windy reso
lutions that dan be penned in a generation. At
the same time we saty this with no desire to de
preciate ffie usefulness »f such Conventions. —
They arwserviceable in so far as they arouse pub
lic attention to the subjects treated of, and in
spire an, interest in Southern enterpriz.e. But
“ faith without works is dead,” and so rhetorical
flourishes, t hich nesult not in the application of
capital, aiJjyactical talents, and persevering in
dustry, a..3 not point with earnestness
to a mode if accomplishing such results, will
soon pass iito oblivion.

Post-Mastor at Savannah.
Ph# appointment of Solomon < ohen, Esq., as
I oat-Master, at Savannah, (says the Charleston
Courier,) is, we learn, a voluntary tribute, on
the part of Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet, to high
integrity and distinguished worth. There were
five apppeants, ill men of character and well
■ supported for the office, but it was tendered to
Mr. Cohen, entirely unsought by him. The
first intelligence, he had of it, was a telegraphic
despatch, received by him,saying his name was
before the cabinet, for the office, arid aikintftf he
would accept it—and shortly after followed
another despatch, announcing the apnointmqpt.
In due course of mail, too, came a letter from the
P. M. General, urging Mr Cis. acceptance of
the appointment. (Jnder such circumstances he
could no longer say n:>lu rpiscopari.
Mr. Cohen is a native of Georgetown, in this
State, a graduate of the S. C. College, of tbe
graduating class of 1820, and has served with
distinction jn the legislatures of South-Carolina
and Georgia. He Has also been Commissioner

the Central Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, at Savannah. He is now in the 51st
year of his age, pressing a handsome independ

respondent has very opportunely furnished us
with a biographical sketch of Mr. C., which we

Cure for Hydrophobia.—The season ofhy

for its cure has been given to the p’blic from

of confirmed rabies having been cured. Still, it
becomes men to “prove all things,” and we
th?refore give what a correspondent of the Na
tional Era writes from Millbury,Massachusetts,
as follows.- .
“ I am now in my eightieth year, and have
obtained wh 6 information I could both from
observation and critical study. It has lately
been discovered that a strong decoction made oi
the bark of tbe roots of the white ash, when
drank as medicine, will cure the bite of a mad
dog. This undoubtedly is owing to the fact
that rattlesnakes can be made more easily to
crawl over live fire coals than white ash leaves ;
and they are neifer sou d in the forests where
the white ash g»ws. Would it not be advisa
ble for druggists U our large towns and cities to
keep constantly cfo four! a medicine prepared
’■Worn tie roots of the”wbite ash. It might be
the means off saving tome valuable lives from
a sudden and painful death.

Murder in Cincinnati. —Patrick Connell
was beat to death in Cincinnati, on Tuesday
night, by a gang of rowdies. He was married
that night,and the gang rushed into the house
and demanded money. He gave them 50 cents,
and his wife handed them a similar sum to get
rid of them, but because they refused to give
more, they knocked him down,dragged him out ,!
of the house, and beat :him in such a manner |
that he soon-died;- Sq>eral arrests have been!

Santa Anna is said to have made the Univer

" Steamship Struck by Lightning.—The

phia on the 18th, from Savannah, reports tha'
when on the Capes of Deleware, she was struck
by lightning, shivering her top and mainmast,
whence the fluid passed through the deck inti
the cabin, and then through the engine room.
No one was hurt.
An Electric Lady.—The German papers
give an account of an Austrian lady who is so
charged with electricity that sparks are con
stantly going out at her finger ends. It is sei
dom that a lady is found sending sparks awai
horn her, though it is a common attribute of th
sex to attrapt>parks, and even to twirl then
round the finger with the utmost ease. We
suspect that the account in the German paper.-
is, like the electric lady herself, a little over
charged.
Spring’s Body not Buried.—Various ru

Ntn Grass?—As the gardens of many of our
i readers are troubled with this obstinate intruder,
we have thought it good to Jet them have the
benefit of tbe following account ot the success
ful method of eradicating it, which we find in
the,Cheraw Gazette:
“A gentleman whose garden was overrun
with grass, and who had resorted to every other
expedient without even partial success, made an
experiment thus: He dug up and manured a
spot about six feet in diameter in his yard, and
set it out thickly with nut grass, which he suf
fered to grow lor two years; in wjiich time, as
the sayipg •«, it was as thick as hairs on a cow’s
back. In the spring of the third year, as last as
it appeared above the ground, he shaved it ofl
with a hoe, by which he effectually _ prevented
the growth ol foliage. In the spring of the
fourth year, theie were but a few scattering
plants which he treated in the same manner.—
In the spring of the filth year, nor since, has a
spear of nut grass appeared. ' 4 Frlcouragefl by bis
success, he adopted the same plan with his gar
den ; and the second year he was but little trou
bled with nut grass. Such a result rr ightreadi

There hail previously been some difficulty be

Accident.—We regret to learn that an acci

about 7 o’clock, at Ridgeville. Mrs. Phebe, a

ear attached to the train, the fore wheels passing

manner, so much so that amputa'ion became
necessary of both limbs.

lay we paid a visit to Madame ClofulliA, at Bar

Swiss lady, twenty-three years of age, and with

growth of hair. Both in this country and in
Europe she has been an object of peculiar inter

vith other members of the press, to test the«re

viz., pulling it, and we can testify that, it is a gen
uine out-growth, resembling in silkness and
diundance the imaginary crop which is promised
• tom the use of various hair invigorators which
ire in such common request. According to the
•taternent of her husband, who attends her, the
hair first appeared when she was two years old,
ind by her eighth year it reached the length of
•wo inches. She has never used a razor except
inmediately under her eyes, and no beard has
ever grown upon the upper lip.— N. F. Post.
Obituary.—We deeply lament to have to
nake recoid at once of the death ol two worthy
ind useful citizens, on Tuesday last, viz: the
Hon. Simon Veidier, and Col. William B. I Oor,
he former, at Walterboiough, and the hitter at
Summerville, in this State. Mr. Verdier was a
Frenchman by birth, but long an inhabitant of
St. Bartholemews Palish, which he frequently
. represented, ill both the Representative and
' Senatorial Branches of the State Legislature.—
He had accumulated a large fortune, and was an
active, enterpriziug and benevolent man, and
a public spirited citizen. Col. 1 Oor was lorm
erly Reading Clerk of our House of Representa
tives, and an estimable gentleman of many vir
tues and campanionable qualities.— Ch. Courier,

A Bishop's Pay and Perquisites.—The
Bishopof Durham is in embarrassed circum
stances, poor man. His income having been
reduced to about $40,000 per annum, (it was
formerly about $120,000,1 he finds himself in a
state of pitiable destitution, and has applied to
the ecclesiastical commissioners for an additional
$5,000 a year or so to pay his “ gamekeepers”
and “ watchers on the moors,” and keep his
lawns—not the lawn he wears, but the lawns
around his palace—in apple-pie order. The com
missioners decline to make the extra allowance,
the more especially as the worthy “ Lord Spirit
ual” lias already overdrawn his account some
$350,000 since his salary was cut down ; or
rather, has retained that amount instead ot pay.
■ng it over like an honest prelate. In the dio
cese of Durham there are dozens of poor cu
rates with wives and families to support who do
not receive £SO sterling per annum; and yet
the bishop, in his sche lule of extras, puts down
the annual wages of one gamekeeper at £lOl
6d., and of another at £SB 6s. 6d. Saving his
lordship's game, therefore, is considered a more
valuable and important service than saving the
souls of his lordship’s flock. Ihe estimation in
which his lordship holds carnal luxuries as com
pared with things spiritual is also’manifested in
another part of his “little bill.” He puts down
the expenses ol his parks at £lOOl, but mod

fess, it is peculiarly so The rernn* <’ivi«ions
in our party, resulting from honest differences
of opinion, touching a suject of great delicacy
and embarrassment, have passed away, with the
issues that produced themdMThe temporary ali
enation that existed hasfl&fed. and whatever
ariflity of feeling and of expres
sion may have been indulged are forgotten and
forgiven, in f he general fusion of sentiment which
unites hr in the bonds of political brotherhood.
For this T have unceasingly labored from the
10th of December 1850 down to the present
day : and fnrthis. I shall continue to consecrate
my feeble abilities, until it may be said em
phatically, that the Demi cracy of Georgia, are
now and forever one and inseparable.” To
this end. I humbly invoke a general spirit of
kindness and mutual forbearance.
If our late divisions ba e prndupd a temporary
na»alysis in the action of the Democratic party,
there is a consideration that gnps far. to com
pensate for the pain which its remembrance
awakens It is the fact. that, on our restoration
to health, we find ourselves strengthened, by
the accession to our ranks, of many noble and
patriotic Whigs, who. during our recent tem
porary alienation, acted with one or the other of
the divisions of our party, but now rising above
the influence of former associations, have not
he-itated to affiliate with ns. Feeling that our
principles are the soundest and our policy tbe
wisest, they have yielded to th°m tbe tribute of
their sanction, and their suffrage. Thus united
and reinforced let each strive to excel bis broth
er in his alacrity to‘sacrifice personal preferen
ces. in his efforts to heal local divinons, and in
his devotion to tbe best interest ot our common
country.
The Democratic party of Georgia is no sec
tional organization, forinied merely to obtain
power, by the concealment nf principles on the
one hand and on the other by presenting issues
»o the country which have been settled? It is
an integral part ot the national detpocracy, and
its principles, inscribed upon are
“ known and read by all men.’’ That, party,
in the late Baltimore Convention, re-affirmed
those principles. It stands solemnly pbdged to
to maintain the rights of the states and the
integrity of the Uni hl It uWmphantly elect
ed Gen. Pierce, who, in hi* luauguial address,
reiterated the pledge, and avowed his determi
nation to redeem it, in the conduct of his admin
istration. It is due. therefore, to our brethren
throughout the confederacy, and to bur President,
who looks to us for support, under his hea
vy responsibilities, that we rally, with zeal
and harmony, and disregard every effort to de- %
coy us, by fake pretences, from our allegiance to -
our common standard. Hence, for All, who de
sire. in good faith, to sustain his administration
and to realize the hope, “ that the constitution
of our country, at. home, and her rights and honor
abroad, will be maintained.” their true position
is, in the ranks of the Democratic party.
Looking to the locality ot Georgia, her bound

Democratic State Convention —The Re
publican of yesterday quotes the following para
graph from the Georgia Citizen;
" We have only room for a word of comment
on the doings of the Convention. The reader
will observe that the only Union Democrat in
the list of candidates, and who, some thought
would be nominated, was distanced on the first
ballot, and his prospects from that moment,
grew “ small and beautifully little.” til! it fizzled
out entirely. Another fact is palpable. Gov
ernor Cobb, who took a decided stand in favor of
Johnson, was not alluded to in the most distant
manner, in the way of compliment or other
wise. nor was there anv resolution adopted in
favor of the re union of the two wings of the
Democracy,on terms of equality and fraterni
ty.”
That a Union Democrat, was not nominated,
we believe, from the information which has
reached us. was owing to the fact that a majori
ty of the Union Democrats in Convention, in a
spirit of magnanimity worthy of all praise, de
termined to give the nomination to a Sou hern
Rights man. The nomination was not sought
by Judge Johnson. He would, no doubt, cheer
fully have waived all claim upon it in favor of
any Union man whom the Union delegates
might in a body have brought forward.
We are informed that Judge Jackson, of this
city, would have been nominated, but for the as
surances of his intimate friends. That having
accepted a foreign appointment, he would be
compelled to decline the nomination, if tendered
to him. It is but justice to him to sav tha he
had accepted this appointment in ignoiance of
the strong feelings of some «f his friends in fa
vor of using his name in the gubernatorial elec
tion.
That Gov. Cobb and a large number of Union
Democrats were in favor ol Judge Johnson, can
be a mystery to no one who recollects his con
ciliatory course towards Union Democrats,
which last fall distracted our party. — Savannah
Georgian, 24th inst.
Infamous.—A relative of Gen. Harrison gives
notice in’a card, published in the Cincinnati
Times, that all persons assembling in the grave
yard enclosure at North Bend, for the purpose of
revelry, will be prosecuted as trespassers, and
cites as a reason a disgraceful scene which occur
red on the 30th ult., which is described as fol
lows :
“ A party of several hundred came from Cin
cinnati in three steamboats, a pioneer band hav
ing preceded them the day before in an omnibus,
and the pioneer band pitched their tent in the
grave yard on Sunday for the sale of liquor, with
out leave or license from any one. Yesterday
• that grave yard was selected as the spot u|M>n
which the -company danced all dav, and the
voices of the Professors, in calling the figures,
i could be distinctly heard at the house, a quarter
of a mile oil, in the valley below. That moral
i recreation of a card playing, so refining and ele
vating in its influences, was indulged iu bv ma
ny of the company upon the humble graves of
> the pioneers of this settlement, and drunkenness
i and revelry reigned supreme. The tombstones
in our family inclosures Lave been defaced, and
the names of those who sleep beneath them have
■ been partly erased, so as to make them read dis.
> ferently, and even the names of the individuals
• committing these acts written upon the stones
• in pencil, an insult to the dead and a wanton
outrage upon the feelings of the living. The
■ depredations committed upon the beautilul mound
> where the remains of General Harrison repose
t are disgraceful in the extreme. Every little
I shrub and flower planted there by the hand of
affection are rudely destroyed by these sacreli
s gious Vandals in their bacchanalian reverlies.”
Painful but Laughable.—ln “ Notes of an
Army Surgeon” we find the following :
i I remember one day, in making my hospital
i rounds, a patient just arrived presented air arn-
- putated forearm, and in doing so could hard y
I restrain a broad laugh ; the titter was constantly
a on his face. , . . ~
e “ What is the matter? This does not strike
d me as a subject of laughter.’
fl' “It is not, Doctor: but excuse me ; I lost my
d arm in so tunny away that 1 still laugh when 1
h look at it.”
“What way?”
>. “ Our first sergeant wanted shaving, and got
d me to attend to it. as lam o cornoral. We went
o together in front of his tent; 1 had lathered him,
0 held his nose, and vas just about applying the _ _
