SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS.
We find in tliti Uultimore Chronicle of th« 20th' Y

the name of tho clerk is mentioned—Samuel A. r

Very consideinhlo oxcitemont wns created In this
community on Monday last, by rumors that a young
genth-muii, a ciuiliilniitia! clerk nnd agent of John
II. Steenbergeii, Esq. had fuilod to rcttmt to Um
city from u visit to I'liiltidclplda and Now York,
whither ho hud gono for tho purposo of conveying
liiinls to meet tho drafts and other obligations of *.
Mr. Siecnbergoii. The suspicion that something
had occurred to inlet loro wilh the discharge of hi*
duties, wn* sttengtheiied by the return, under pro
test. -of a draft for twenty thousand dollars, drown 1 '
by Ml. StecnliOrgcn, nnd which tho fiinds lit th«’ 1 '
IiiiiiiU of this agent wen* designed to meet. This 1
dnilt wns returned on Monday, Mr. Stecnbemn .
being then absent on a visit to his family in Vii*
gi in, lie arrived, howdver, in tld* city pn Mon^
day evening, and on Tuesday morning, not only pai J

lion, of every description, amounting to a 1 very
large sum, which his ngeiit Imd contracted for him 1
in this city, either nt thu Dank* or with indWiduids.
The lute (.ftl.i» agent, who is n young nian of about
twenty years of age, still remains in doubt. It hair
lieen iiremutiindy, nud, wo believe, incorrectly a*-•

YELLOW FEVER IN CHARLESTON.
We lake tho following from Monday's Chat leaton

During tbo last Session of tha Connecticut Legis
lature, tho Whig majority played a very drop game.
The question of Abolition wn* brought up, ami
forced to a Committee. The '• Whigs” wished to
dodge the question, ns the elections wore coming
on. How could they J But, why do wo muko this
inquiry ? Who over found tho “ Whigs" nt fault,
when a game of intrigue or political • legerdemain
wa* to ho performed 1
Tho Democrat* were given a majority nn the
Committee, although they were in a minority in
tho Legislature. This 41 Whig" liberality—of
coarsn—looked rather suspicious. It was soon
found, howover, that tho object of tho Federalists
was to throw the responsibility on the Democrats,
and thereby ensure the hostility of the Abolitionists
for tho Republican party.
Well, the trial came nn; sud tho Democrats made
their report. True to tho principle of the demo
cratic family, their report was favourable to the
Institutions of the South—and denunciatory of the
wild and unchristian efforts of tho Abolitionists.
Tho 44 Whigs,” who dared not meet the quonion
fully nnd fairly in its incipient stage—now showed
tho •* cloven foot." The report wns sustained by
every Democrat In the Legislature—It was op
posed by entry 44 Whig.” The vote was of n
strictly party nature. The Drmoerats were true
to their principles—the 44 Whigs" feared to lose
the votes of the Abolitionists.
And yet, oAor this convincing proof of tho princi<
pies of either party, some Stale Rigkti presses in
the South, actually shouted with joy, and yelled
with exultation at the 44 Whig" victory—aliat Abo
lition triumph In Connecticut. Why, we ask, will
men’s eyes be closed to their truo interests—why
will they sustain their worst enemies—boeause, for
sooth, one common link of opposition to Mr. Van
Buren'i administration connects them. Is this
paltry consideration to make them forget the duty
they owe their native States T Is this weak bond
stronger and more firm, than the chain that should
bind them to the dearest and purest sources of love
and affection—their wives, tbeir children, pos-
trrity, and their country 1 Sorely, no! Then let
the South arise, and shake off the odious trammels
of 4 * Whiggery"—of Federalism—tho declared and
open allies of the AbolUlonl-tt. Let us heir of no
more rejoicing* for 44 Whig" victories—to us they
should be causes of wailing ami sorrow—as they

THE PRESIDENT’S VISIT.
Tho visit which Mr. Van Burkn is making-to bfa
home, has given room to tho 44 Whig" jouriirtlJij' tn
sneer at the cordial reception which his friends will
no doubt give him in every hnmict through which
lie mny pass. Tho following letter from tltnt gen
tleman himself, shows that he desires no parade, but
will travel as a private citizen. This is as we ex
pected. A republican President requires no flour
ish of drums or trumpets—the hearty cheer, howov
er, and tho cordial grasp of friendship, Is his due.
id that he will receirffdospltu of all tbo 44 Whigs”

Intending to travel by privnto ronvrynnee, I can

The interchange of per-onal civilities with mv fal

hone that it may lie attended with the Icartformjli'y
that is confident with entire respect to the wishes
uf my friends,
As your letter leads me to believe that tho Com-
\ mitlce design to inv.te mo to n public dinner, nnd
Utnvcbecn apprized thnt similar kindness is con
templated in other places, I trust I shall bo pardoned
If I express. In advance of more formnl offers, the

never bo unmindful of any manifestation of their re

Do me 1 the favor to make these sentiment* known

THE SAVANNAH THESPIAN CORPS.
That highly moral and instructive Tragedy,
Douglas, thu production nf one af Scotland’s basf
writers, the Ruv. Mr. Homk, was performed nn
.Monday evsning last, hy the young gentleman com*
posing tho nbovo Society. Tho audiepre was large
nnd resper.tohlo, and the actor* nrquitted themselves
most creditably. It would lie invidious to pnrticu*
ittizc. The piny, is to be again performed, by re
quest, on Friday evening next. Tho art of elocu
tion is one of tho most vntuablo studies under a do.
mocratic government; and theatrical exhibitions go
far to aid it t besides, much valuable time, thnt
would otherwise be waited, perhaps, hy youth, will
be devoted to fomting on tho beauties of our best
writers, and must inculcate a tnste for polite litera
ture. We hope tn see this juvenile attempt fostered
—and that the correct deportment of the Thespian
Corps, will entitle them, of right, to public patronage
—especially when one nf thuir leading i-bjecls is
charity—ibat holy charity, which gives even frail
humanity celestial forms.
It should bo understood that the proceeds, alter
deducting expenses, are to be doroted to charitable
purposes.
TROUBLE IN TIIE WIGWAM-WHIG TAG-
TICS—A ROPE OF SAND.
Wo hoforo ulludod to the tilting between tlm
44 Whig" papers in New York, in tho Presidential
arena. They hare nmv couched their lancer, and
mingled In tho-fray. Tho Express goes for •* prin
ciple* ” without "men”—tho Stnr goes for "prin
ciples ami men.” The Express would as so\i
have ouo political judv for Provident as another.
Ono cur dog is nut much different front another,
hut if ho has n kettle tied tn his tail, ho becomes
tho "observed uf ull.observers." Tho Star, there
fore, think* that tto one will go dow n for President,
tinlosi* ho has n great name. (!> nrral Scott, with
thofi/ar, is a very good man— General Harrison
is better—but—ns big Dan Is left out of tlm mute
riul* for Prcsideui making—11 anuy Clap is best
of oil!
The Erpreis, we expect, will reply tn the Star
that " Brag is u good dog—lint lhldfast is bet
ter"—and that even if all 44 Hold/,til's " grinders
have decayed, ho will never relax hi* toothless grip,
while Brag would only bow-wow, and run away.
Another thing, tliero io u great cliniin in llio title of
n Genet all It sounds well, mid has been all-pow
erful ere now.
There is much apparent sincerity in tho declara
tions of tho Express— but thun Mutter IIiuioks is

ABOLITION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Wherever the Democratic pntty have |>ower in
tho Nortlmrn and Eastern States, there Abolition
lies prostrate in thu dust. Tho "Whigs," par ex
cellence of Now Y’ork, aided hy die money, nml in*
fluonco, and tho thirty thousand vote* of tho Abo
litionists, elevated Ltnimt UttADIlll, tin avowed
Abolitionist, to tho second office in that State.
Tho •• Whigs” did this—and vet tome of their or
gans in that State, have tho temerity to say that
limy arts friendly to tho- South. Tho "Whigs” in
Connecticut elected Mr. Ellsworth, nn’Abolition
ist,over Mr. Niles, u friend of tho Suuth—but tho
4 Whigs" of Connecticut, aro more sincere than
those of New York—for no" Whig" paper in that
Stnto pretends to support tho Suuth—they are nil
alvocatc* for tho ciuisii which lioaots of a Gauiii-
SON, a Taiwan, and a Titowr SON, as its champions.
In Vermont, they are thqsatnu.
In New Humprtliini, however, tbo 44 Whigs" nml
Abolitionists, thunks to the patriotic efforts of
Isaac Hill, and the other sterling Democrats of
that State, nre deprived of powor. They (tho De
mocrats) entno out openly as friends of tlm Sontlt,
nud as such received llio votes of thu freoinen of tho
"Granitu Stare."
Gov. Pauk, hi Ills mes*ngn tq^Fo Legislature of
New Hampshire, meets tho AfnSltlonQuo-lion,in u
manly nnd decisive manner. Ho plainly suys thut
tho effort of tho Abolitionists to interfere wilh
tlm institution of slavery in the District of Columbia,
hits tho ullitnnto view of effecting tha abolition of
slavery in tliu South; it ml reprobates such un ut-
tempt in the strongest terms.
Tho stiind which tho lending Democrats havo
token throughout tho non-sluvoholding Suites has
saved tha Union. They havo mot tho copimon
enemy in every conflict, and either conquered, or
plived tho way for victory. In Now Y'urk, the
ephemeral lriumph[oflho"Whig»"and Abolitionists,
hns nlrendy scaled their doom as n party. In Con
necticut, they linvo lost ground they never cun re
gain. Iu Massachusetts, tho sun of Federalism is
setting. Abolition, and fanaticism have long been
twin sisters ill that State Like the Siumese twins,
they will die together, or the putrid corpse of ono
will inevii <bly enttso tho demiso af the other.
Tho "cniiso of tho poople and the ranso nf Re
publican Liberty," tiro ono nnd tho same, and thu
former must and will support the (utter. Never, in
tlm annuls nf political warfare, was llio sky brighter,
or tho prospect more aii*picious for the final pc-
cnmplishmont of ull that tho friends of liberty,* nf
order, of law, uud uf democracy, cun desire. Tim
principles of a Was hi.noton, a Jkffkiiiion, a
Madison,nnd a Jackiun, aro now in tlm ascen
dant. Long—long may a free peeplo maintain
them in their lofty position. When they fall—nnd
may thut day never cumo—liberty will full with
them—nud an olignrcliir.nl faction will rule a har
assed people, wilh a 44 rod of irou."

Mr. Editor:—Punnit mo to address you on n
subject which I consider grievous to a largo und
re*|M-ctnblo class of oitr citizens.
1 do not write for llio purposo of si-eing my sen
timents in print—I write because I feel, and wish
to draw tlm attention of the eominiiuity to nn op
pressive act on tho part of our City Rulers.
On the 28th March last, there wa* pn*«ed in
Council "nil Ordinance to prohibit the erection nf
wooden workshop*, or Imltcries of nny kind within
the limit* of tlm city."
Tlm above i* the preamble—whi.-h appear* to
mo rather ntiilii^uoui—I enn tcurnely suppose the
Council intended to prevent tlm erection t f "work
shop*" of any description—hilt llmt the wool* 44 of
nny kind " merely npplie* to 44 linkeries,”—nnd be
ing n tradesman, I um anxious to tucertniit whether
my particular trade is included.
Our City Father* have not told tho public, that
this ordinance wn* pa*M*d for tlm prevention of fire*
—hut I presume such was their motive—if so, it
appears strange thnt " workshops of any kind "
should be prohibited, ns we ull know*, or ought to
know, thut it would lm quite n« difficult to hum the
shop* of some mechnnicnl trades, ns it would bo to
burn llio workshop of a lawyer, or a doctor. A
Stone-Cutter's shop, for instance, or oven u Black-
smith’s or Shoemaker's—there i* no greater danger
that tin* granite, tlm Iron, nr llm good bend-leather
of them 44 workshops " will take (ho, tlmn, that tho
mbUnprcsenTtttiwH^-of. a.J-jmwor in the
of a U.wtor, could uver gull uu honest man.
But tlm 3d sectiou of tin ordinance in ipiestign,
is llmt which particularly attracted ny attention, it
reads tint*—" Jic il Jurthcr ordained, That .no
lumber yard of nny description, nor open places for
tlm stow ing awny lumber, lieynnd 700 feet, shall lie
permitted to lm within the limits nforesiiid tiller the
first day of July next, tinder llm penally of $lt)Q
for each and every day llio same hIiiiII remain." &c.
Now I would lieg to ask the Council, if they con
sider themselves proper nnd qualified Judge* of the
quantity of lumber which ought to he iu n carpen
ter's yard, to tumble him to entry on hi* hitsitioss
conveniently 1—Should their hlen of quantity ex
tend to 700 feet only, I must say their experience
in such mutters is very deficient—they are probably
not uwttru tint 700 feet of lumliur is Imrcly ono
wagon bald, and that no man doing uu ordinary
Inndiiess, could find it possible to conduct hi* Imsi-
ties* with ale** quantity than twenty Ihuitutml feit
lining always on hand, considering that thu Interest
of the public denmnds well sou'oncd lumber, nn al
prnrtieuhlo occasion*, to bu »i*ed. But it mny be
•aid, that tlm convenience of one, or tho interest of
nnotlmr class of the community, cannot lie permit
ted to jenpurdisn tho welfare of tlm whole-
granted; hut let os tnke pu«^ cxpcriotico for our
guIJo, nnd I will defy nny ono tn point nut n single
cn*o of fire that has originated in a cm pouter’s
simp in this, city, within, ut least, tho Ju*t forty
years. " *
There it ono other question, that, with respect, I
put to the Council: —On llm law complained of
going into nffect, upon whom is to full tlm expense
of irtrertnining tliu quantity of lumber in each yard 1
The nature of the ordinance trqniic* thut u daily
survey shall lm held, and tlm expense must lm de-
frayed by somebody, either It must cotno out of tlm
City funds, or llm pocket* uf the owners of lumber
yards. •
"Tho City Ci.unril cannot hot lie nwnre of the un-
'uvinlile position in which tlmy havo lately pluccd
themselves, by their revivul and creation of ordM
nances odious to the citizens, und which have been
found to lie impracticable for effect. I would, there
fore, camion that body, if it has nny respect for its
own dignity, nt onco to abrogate this ordinance,
hirh they will shortly find ini|HM»iblu u> unGwcc.
I would have drawn attention to this subject be
fore this time, bud I not been under tlm belief that
somo abler pen than mlno would toko it up, hut
alas, Mr. Editor, it seemed Io havo nn charms for
your Knight Errant Correspondents, who have ne
ver shown feeling on nny subject, unless their sbius
came in contact wilh a cellar door, or their now
"Prunella," got damaged by a vilo oyxtershcll,

dare to admire, but cann«t approach.
