A Good and Fair Offer.
We copy from the Charleston Mercury
of yesterday, the following commnnica
Son purporting to come from a widow
lsdy, a resident of that city. It is a
good offer, and if old Buck, had not
keen in so great a hurry in sending these
poor unclad, uneducated,unchristianized
Africans hack to their nativesoil,perhaps
to take another trip in a slaver to Cuba, ,
and re-experience all the horrors of their 1
first voyage, we think he would acceed ]
to the proposition. She offers fifteen
worthless negroes, well educated, some
«lad in Broad cloth, some in Crinoline,
for the like number of naked and igno
rant Africans. If substituted,they would
present quite a contrast to the natives
and give them a different idea of negro
life in America. There are thousands
of other negroes in this country, about
as valuable to their owners as the wid
ows, which we Lave no doubt would he I,
readily exchanged for young Africans. ■ 1
W T e would suggest to the Abolitionists J
of the North to go in for the importa- <
tion of acorgo of naked Africans, bring 1
them South and swap them off for well ?
informed and well clad worthless dar- J
kies—it would be beneficial to both a
parties. But we doubt much if they j 1
could get the wilting consent of the lat- ! *
tei. | *
Mb. Kditob :— Seeing in your paper j J
the arrival of some three hundred Afri- 1 '
cans at our port, and learning that our i 1
Government have no alternative but to j ?
send them back to their native land |'
(when the poor unfortunates desire to ! r
remain here, in which, for the sake of j J
humanity, we ought to gratify them,) I:
am induced to apply to you for advice I r
and direction iu what way I can be of 11
service, Messrs Editors, lam a lone j n
widow, my dearly beloved consort hav- j °
iug deceased thirty years since, leaving j *’
me (as his sole heiress,) what would be !
considered a handsome property, viz: P
several shares of bank stock, some a
bonds, undoubted (for the interest was
regularly paid), and about twenty ne- ] '-
grocs,who were hired out at good wages j a
the income of the whole of which was j n
more than sufficient to enable me to live j P
comfortably, and make my half yearly
contributions to, the Ladies’ Benevo- j t!
lent Society, Fuel and Garment Societies j
of recent date, and my other eontribu- a
tious tb the poor of the Church of which ' °
lam an humble member. Since the j**
decease of my dearly beloved consort 1] 11
have had the sole control of this pro-! °
perty, and my great trouble is now, that j s
lam unable to make my usual contri-;
buttons as above mentioned ; and for j
this reason, that although my dividends ! a
and interest on all will be regularly |'
P aill ; my expenses, personal and a
domiciliary, are no greater, the income a
from my negro hire amounts to almost :
nothing. When I say nothing, I mean ’
no more than pays taxes, clothing and c
doctor sbills. Those that always paid *
punctually, in life of my deceased bus- 1
band, eight to ten, and even twelve ,
dollars per month, what with deduction 1
for sickness and bad weather, when, as a
they said,no work could be got,only,pay '
now what will about cover the above
mentioned expenses; hence I am i nable c
to support myself as formerly,fur 1 must j
deprive myself to enable me to do some-' *
thing in support of the poor. Now, 1
gents, I wish you to assist me when i '
make this offer : I have fifteen able, I
healthy negroes, whom I will exchange I
for fifteen of the recent barbarians, as! i
they are termed. My negroes come to <
me to pay their wages, finely dressed in i
expensive muslins and hoops, very much
finer than what I wear myself—that is.
the women ; and the men in broad
cloth coats and pantaloons. Now Ire
1 if agreeable, deliver the
above mentioned fifteen .negroes to the
Marshal or the President, for the same
number of the barbarian Africans who
are now at Fort Sumter. Again ; What
annoyed me much, was that I had I
to pay $2 per head for seven of my ne

Tcrillic Adventure In the Mammoth
Cave.
At the supposed end of wliat lias al
ways been considered the longest aven
ue of the Mammoth Gave, nine miles
from its entrance, there is a pit, dark
■ and deep and terrible, known as the
Maelstrom. Tens of thousands have
i gazed into it with awe whilst bengal
, lights were thrown down it to make its
fearful depths visible, hut none ever
had the daring to explore it. The cele
brated guide Stephen, who was deemed
insensible to fear, was offered six bun
dreil dollars by the proprietors of the
Cave if he would descend to the bottom
of it, but he shrank from the peril. A
few years ago, a Tennessee professor,
a learned and bold man, resolved to do
what no one before him had dared do,
and, making his arrangements with
great care and precaution, he had him
self lowered down by a strong rope a
■ hundred feet, but, at that point, his
courage failed him, and he called aloud
to he drawn out. No human power
could ever have induced him to repeat
the appalling experiment.
’ A counplc of weeks ago, however, a
• young gentleman of Louisville, whose
r nerves never trembled at mortal peril,
being at the Mammoth Cave with Pro
fessor Wright, of our city and others,
5 determined, no matter what the dang
• ers and difficulties might be, to explore
the depths of Jthe Maelstrom. Mr.
Proctor, the enterprising proprietor of
the Cave, sent to Nashville and procur-
I ed a long rope of great strength express
t ly for the purpose. The rope and some
necessary timbers were borne by the
guides and others to the point of pro
posed exploration. Tiie arrangements
1 being soon completed the rope, with a
heavv fragment of rock affixed to it,
was let down and swung to and fro to
dislodge any loose rocks that would be
likely to fall at the touch. Several
were thus dislodged, and tho long con
tinued reverberations, rising np like dis
tant thunder from below, proclaimed
the depth of the horrid chasm. Then
the young hero of the occasion, with
several hats drawn over his head to pro
tect it as far as possible against any mas
ses falling from above, and with a light,
in his hand and the rope fastened around |
his body, took his place over the awful j
pit and directed the half dozen men, j
who held the end of the rope, to let!
him down into the Cimmerian gloom, !
We have heard from his own lips an J
account of his descent. Occasionally
masses of earth and rock went whizzing
past, but none struck him. Thirty orj
forty feet from the top, he saw a ledge, j
from which, as he judged by appear-1
ances, two or three avenues led off in
different directions. About a hundred
feet from the top, a cataract from the!
side of the pit went rushing down the!
abyss, and, as he descended the side of j
the failing water and in the midst of j
the spray, he felt some apprehension
that his light would be extinguished,!
but his care prevented this. He was
landed at the bottom of the pit, a hun
dred and ninety feet from the top. He
found it almost perfectly circular,
about 18 feet in diameter, with a 6mall
opening at the point, leading to a fine
chamber of no great extent. He found]
on the flour beautiful specimens of,
black silex of immense 6ize, vastly larg-1
er than were ever discovered in anvj
other part of the Mammoth Cave, and
also a multitude of exquisite formations |
as pure and white as virgin snow. Ma
; king himself heard, with great effort, I
by his friends, he at length asked them j
to pull him partly up, intending to stop
on the way and explore a cave that he j
had observed opening about forty feet
above the bottom of the pit. Beach
ing the mouth of that cave, he swung
himself, with much exertion into, it, j
and, holding the end of the rope in his
hand, he incautiously let it go, and it,
swung out apparently beyond his!
reach. The situation was a feaiful one,;
and his friends above could do noth' ng i
for him. Soon, however, he vnade a!
hook of the end of his lamp, and, by
extending himself as far over the verge j
as possible without falling, he succeeded
in securing the rope. Fastening it to a'
rock, he followed the avenue 150 or 200
yards to a point where he found it;
blocked by an impassible avalanche of,
rock and earth. Returning to the.!
mouth of the avenue, he beheld an al-!
most exactly similar mouth of another ;
on the opposite side of the pit, but, not
being able to swing himself into it, he <
fastened tire rope around his hotly, sus
pended himself again over the abyss, i
and shouted to his friends to raise him
to the top. The pull was an exceeding
ly severe one, and the rope, being ill i
adjusted around his body, gave him the i
most excruciating pain. But soon his :
pain was forgotten in a new and dread- '
fill peril. When he was 90 feet from
the mouth of the pit and 100 from the
bottom, swaying and swinging in mid-’;
air. he heard rapid and excited words! i
of horror and alarm above, and soon 1
learned that the rope by which he was] i
upheld had taken fire from the friction j ■
of the timber over which it passed.— :
Several moments of awful suspense toj
those above, and still more awful to him '
below, ensued. To them and him a fatal
and instant catastrophe seemed inevita- j
ble. But the fire was extinguished with
a bottle of water belonging to himself,j
and then the party above, though ex
hausted by their labors, succeeded in |
drawing him to the top. He was as
calm and self-possessed as upon his en
trance into the pit, but all of his com-1
panions, overcome by fatigue, sank’
down upon the ground, and his friend j
Professor Wright, from over exertion
and excitement, fainted and remained
for a time insensible.
The young adventurer left his name I
carved in the depths of the Maelstrom]
—the name of the first and only person]
that ever gazed upon its mysteries.
Visitors at the Sew York Hotels.
The New York Herald took the pains]
to ascertain a few days ago the number;
,of persons at the various hotels in that!
city, and found that it amounted to'
nearly eight thousand, three-fourths or i
more of whom were strangers proba- j
bly. This seems a small number for so!
large a city, but the same paper states;
that about twelve thousand other visi- j
tors are quartered in private dwellings.
Tub Weather —We are indebted to
Dr. John F Posey for the following sta
tistics in regard to the weather. The
j average temperature from the Ist to the
13th inst. has been at 7 o’clock A. M.,
j 74.7, 2 o’clock P. M. 81.4, and at 9
o’clock P. M. 77.0.
On the 6th, it commenced raining and
has rained every day since, except the
10th. From the sth to the 13th, 10,140
inches of water fell, the greatest quan
tity having fallen on Sunday last,
reaching 3,100 inches. We believe this
tiie greatest quuntity which has fallen
in any one day for a long time.—Savan

Singular Death.— The Pine Bluff,
gentleman just elected to the Legisla
. jure of that State, from Calhoun coun

j he could just be elected to the legisla
ture of Arkansas, he was ready to die.

? Frightful Precocity.—Charles Brit
‘ ton is twelve years of age. He ran
1 away from Niagara with S6O of his em
* ployer'6 money, came to Troy, spent
the money in riotous living, stole $lO
1 from boarders at a house where he stop
' ped, and then made the run to Albany,
■: passed the Sabbath in the restaurants
'! and then went to Pittstown, where his
■ j career was ended by an arrest. The
" ] precocious vagabond is in jail.
The Illinois Sen atokship.—From pre
j sent appearances, we think there wili be
' no election for an Vniteti States Sena
! tor by the Legislature to be chosen in
: Illinois this fall. The two houses act
1 ! separately in balloting, and the Senate
can hardly fail to attain a majority of
1 i the friends of Douglas ; thirteen mem
bers hold over, most of them anti-Le
-1 compton, and the opposition must elect
eight of the twelve to be chosen this
! Fall to secure a majority. If no elec-
I tion takes place, there can he no choice
j before 1861, as the sessions of the leg
j islature are biennial. —Louie idle Journal.

! Suicide. —Edward Tucker, the engi
i neer who some years ago, as will be re
membered, ran a train of cars, beloug
i ing to the New Haven Railroad Com-
I pany, through the drawbridge over Nor
| walkjliver, at Norwalk, Conn., which I
] resulted so diastrously to human life, I
J committed suicide a few eveningß since,
; in New York, by opening the veins of
i one of his arms with a razor.
The Crops.
We have heard a great deal about
| poor crops, short crops, &c. We have,
just returned from atrip, in which we;
I passed through Cusseta, in Chattahoo
j chee county, Richland, in Stewart,
thence to Preston, in Webster county,
! thence to the corner of Sumter county, j
near the Glasses Mineral Spring; thence
by Friendship to Buena Vista,in Marion,
county ; thence by Glenalta and Hollo-1
I cae to Columbus. We do not profess to j
ibe much of a judge of these matters, j
but according to our judgment, such as
it is, we never saw the crops finer —!
peas, potatoes, corn and cotton. Ini
some places we saw streaks of rust, or
something else, which appeared to affect
the cotton injuriously, but generally
; the weed looked flourishing. There 1
i was cotton open at the bottom ; there i
i were bolls all along to the top, and*
I blooms enough to make a good ci op if i
| they could all mature. This was our|
I conclusion from looking at the fields as!
|we passed along the road. It may be! !
! otherwise in other sections ; it may ev-!
en be different in that section of the
country away from the road, but
we felt all along as we went on that the >,
people in that part of the country had!]
been wonderfully blessed, for which we 1.
hope they are duly thankful. —Columbus \

The Language of Love. ]
“ Dost thou love me!" asked a youth, ; <
in the holiest hour of love, the first in j 1
which souls meet and give themselves j (
away. The maiden gazed on him, but, 1
answered not. “Oh! if thou lovest 6
me, speak!” continued he; but she ] (
gazed on him still, and could not.—j g
“ Then I have but dreamed of happi- j
ness, and hoped that thou didst love me; J
but now all is over—both happiness and j 1
hope !” said the youth.
“Dearest, do 1 not, then, love thee?” -
the maiden then asked, once and again. !
“ But why so slow to say U?” inquir- *
ed he.
She answered, “I was too happy to
speak, until I heard and felt they pain.” j
Droves of Houses.—We have uninten
tionally omitted to notice the large <;
amount of horses and mules that have
and are daily passing through our city.
The number of droves, though some
what smaller in size, are by far, more 1
numerous than we recollect to have seen
at any previous season. To-day, there j ’
has already two droves passed through!
our city. If the Stock growing States
are as pregnant with bacon hogs as re-!
cent developments proves they are with
mules and horses, we need entertain no
fears but that we will have an abund- ,
ance of “ hog meat ” another year.— ,

Some of our young friends have, no

and for the benefit of those who imag
ine they are in possession of the pas
sion, we publish below a short colloquy, j
apparently, which was reduced to wrp ;
| ting by thfe author—not intended for
the public eye, but came into our pos- j
; session by being unfortunately dropped i
I in the street:
! A woman’s heart is a curious some- i
j thing, which may be, and is at times, i
]so ■ til led with contradictions, that she, :
herself, would be puzzled to give an ex
i planation of the inconsistencies of her
own acticns; and it is a fact that, 1
whenever sympathy and gratitude are 1
the two strongest emotions of her :
heart, the object which excites there
emotions to the greatest degree, will ,
rarely fail to become an objeet of deep
er interest to her. Love is invisible and
undefined ; emanates from an unknown
source ; is pure, holy and sacred, sub
dues the giosser feelings ; love is the
soul of the angels, which, like a light ,
from Heaven, cast a halo around us ;
love is often unsuspected even when it
is gnawing the hearts vitals up.

|f The Great Problem
: Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
■ I DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
I lias lost the (lower of duly converting rood into a
. ■ life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
J 1 course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires Us solventpower, and theernde
’ I nutriment, which Was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, whilebisdigestive organization was
1 paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
e the nervous sufferer, while tormented liy the
1 acute, physical agony orNeuralgia, Tic-doloreux
f or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
’ rors, wakened by periodical tils, threatened with
" paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
•' terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
! nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
' or disability arisingfrom the unnaturalcondition
\ of the wonderful machinery which connects cv
' ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate beneflt
s , from the uscot this Cordial, which at once calms,
" invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous m
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon thai
j woman has ever received from the ha: ds ol
medical men. .
- Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
if j mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite
i. While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
, which is to be subjected to their action. As an
1 appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
I If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en
-3 joyment are desirable, this mediciue is indeed of
- precious worth „
t Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, tho a.ling
> wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
j man of business, the victim of nervous depres
? sion, the individual suffering from general de
. bility or from the weakness of a single organ
- willall find immediateand permanent relS f from
- the use of this incomparable renovator. To
j those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible m ilady. There are many
I perhaps who have so trifled with tlielr constitu
j tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
iof medicine. Let not even those despair. The
i Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re*
' lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
I the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken cou

| —Hoxksdalk Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
i Seth W. Fowls— Sir : You are at liberty to use
the following statement for the benefit ot tho af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
! which apparently brought me to the brink ol
| tbe grave. During my sickness I was attended
I by three physicians in our place, but received
{no help. 1 also tried the various remedies ro-
I commended for such complaints, but they af
.l forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
' persuaded to try Wis tar's Balsam, nf Wild
l j Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
I, to better health than I have enjoyed before for
: i ten years. This statement may be relied upon
- as strictly true. Betsey Perkin.
The above certificate was given in the pre
[ sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

HP Cure the Giver.—There is
- an article selling throughout the coentry that
has attained the widest celebrity ever known as
a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
' race to DR. SANFORD’S IXVIGORATOR, OR
LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cures a
most too great to believe, were it not for the u
doubted evidence that accompany the testimo
f nials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known
’ or Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debilit
that so often baffles the skill of our most eminent
physicians.
1 Dr. Sanford has been for a long time one of the
eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
most of his cases were treated with the Invigo
: rator with such invariable success that he has
been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and
let the world have the beneflt of his discovery.
If those who are troubled with debility, head
ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, wiU try
a bottle, we think they might save physicians’
bills, and day?, perhaps years, of suffering.—
