Jackson’s Epitaph upon his Wife, A lady in the West has been kind enough to send us a copy of Andrew Jackson’s Epitaph on his wife. It is known to have been his own com position, yet although it has been read by hun dreds on her tomb in Tennessee, it has never appeared in print before. This singular inscrip tion reads thus: “Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jackson, wife of President Jackson, who died on the 2tld of December, 1828, aged (51. Her face was fair, her person pleasing, her temper amiable, and her heart kind. She delighted in releiving the wants of her fellow creatures, and cultivated that divine pleasure, by the most liberal and un pretending methods. To the poor she was a benefactress ; to the rich she was an example ; to the wretched a comforter; to the prosperous an ornament; her pity went hand in hand with her benevolence ; and she thanked her Creator for being permitted to do good. A being so gentle, and yet so virtuous, slander might wound but could not dishonor—even death, when lie tore her from the arms of her husband, could but transplant her to the bosom of her God.” Few persons will read this noble epitaph with out emotion. It appears to us the very best specimen of such composition we have ever seen—at least for the tomb of a private person and a woman. It is perfectly simple, perfectly sincere, and yet is full of elegance and energy. Good epitaphs are rare in private monuments. Insincerity and fulsome praise are the most gene ral defects, “lie lies like a tombstone,’’is a proverb in many languages. But another com mon defect is conceit. This is the result of a wish to be fine, aud a desire to imitate certain epitaphs on great men, which have been celebra ted i:i books. These celebrated epitaphs are epigrams. They are not unsuitable to public tombs of public individuals; because a lively sense of personal grief is uot expected in the minds of those who erect them, —but rather a sentiment of calm and elevated admiration, which leaves the intellect free for a formal ef fort, in composition. But the tomb of a pri vate man or woman is built by his or her near est friend. The only thing that renders it inte resting is the sacred grief of that friend. Now, grief does not find an utterance in epigram. Its form of expression is simple, direct, earnest and rational. Such expression, therefore only U becoming to the tomb of one who is publicly un known. Epigram is affectation there, and conse (juently disgusting. Let us illustrate this. One of the most cele brated epitaphs is that over Copernicus— Sta, sol, ne moveare. Copernicus discovered the true solar system— that the sun stood still and the planets, moved instead of the contrary, as the world then sup posed. liis monument was built to gratify the intellectual admiration of all mankind. One, therefore, does not feel disgusted, that the sculp tor should pause aud ponder and rack his brains till he hit up that allusive quotation from the book of Joshua. So too with .Marshal Mercy’s epitaph on the field of battle at Nordlingen, where he fell and was buried— Eta viator: heroern calcas. 1 hat is noble, and no one is displeased at it, because it was the respect of a whole country, not the sorrow of an individual, that placed it there. Sir Joshua Wren is buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral at London, which he built; over him is a simple slab with this— “Hi monument um queer is, circumspice Nobody feels that the conceit aud epigram which are essentially characteristic of all these epitaphs are out of place. Calm study, and much consideration, were required to make them—they are productions of'the intellect, not of an emotion—hut the men whom they com memorate appealed to sentiments too general to render individual sorrow appropriate to their tombs. But these same things, or things like them quite as well done, are neither appropriate, or proper, or agreeable, on a private tomb. They may amuse the mind for the moment, hut they give no satisfaction to the taste or the heart.— Thus that famous Roman epitaph, in which a husband recorded on his wife’s tomb, that she “never gave pain to him save in dying’’—the con ceit robs it of sympathy. 80, too, the epitaph which the widow of Purcell, the musician, put upon his grave saying that he had gone to join the choirs of Heaven, “where only his harmonies are surpassed.” [\\ e quote these things from memory, and therefore may make some non es sential mistakes.] So likewise the epitaph ! which a marchioness put on a monument under : which her daughter was buried, and where she ! intended to lie interred herself •‘Muter infelicissima fillies es sii/i,’’ —a mother who can engage her mind in this meretricious sort of punning, is no longer incon solable or infelicissima. The reader feels that at once, and while he may be amused at the in genuity of such a thing, is neither pleased nor touched with it. Jackson’s epitaph on his wife 13 a very differ ent thing. There is no conceit. That noble knightly old soul, who would never credit evil of a woman, and who believed and loved his wife Jn the true spirit of chivalry and manli ness—he was uot looking for an epigram when he wrote her epitaph. Ho wrote directly down the plain thoughts which such an occasion sug gested to him, and thereby made the best in scription of its particular kind we have ever seen. We offer our own respectful thanks to tire lady whose taste aud good nature have made us acquanfed with it. — Richmond Examiner. ‘l ire Professional Man who dares wear a threadbare coat until ha is out of debt was in town yesterday.

[ From Sharpe’s Magazine. ] Last Hours cf Napoleon. BY MRS. MAJOR WARD. On the night of the sth of Slav, 1821, a young ensign of the sixty-sixth regiment, quar tered at St. Helena, was wending his solitary way along the path leading from the plain of Deadwood to his barracks, situated on a patch of table land called Francis Plain. The road was dreary, for to the left yawned a vast chasm, the remains of a crater, and known to the is landers as the “Devil’s Punch bowl although the weather hail been perfectly calm, puffs of wind occasionally issued from the neighboring valleys; and at last one of these puffs having got into a gully, had so much ado to get out of it, (hat it shrieked, and moaned and gibbered, t till it burst its bonds with a roar like thunder— and dragged up in its wrath, on its passage to the sea a few shrubs and one of those fair wil lows beneath which Napoleon, first Emperor of France, had passed many a peaceful, if not a happy hour of repose, surrounded by his faith ful friends in exile. This occurrence, not uncommon at St. Hele na, has given rise to an idea, adopted even by Sir Walter Scott, that the soul of Napoleon had passed to another destiny on the wings of (he storm spirit; but, so far from there being any tumult among the elements on that eventful night, the gust of wind 1 have alluded to was only heard by the few whose cottages dotted the green slopes of tho neighboring mountains. But as that t iir tree dropped, a whisper fell j among the islanders that Napoleon was dead! j ; No need to dwell upon what abler pens than j mine have recorded ; (lie eagle’s wings were ! folded, the dauntless eyes were closed, the last ! words, “ Tide armee ,” had passed the faded lips, i the proud heart had ceased to boat!

It is known, says the Savannah Republican, that the free people of color in every part of this country are turning their thoughts towards this new home, and while a number of worthy families have gone from Savannah, others are preparing to follow them.

One of these, a very sensible and worthy man, has shown us a letter just received from Henry B. Stuart, who left Savannah some four years ago. lie was an exemplary member of the Rev.

Grf.enyii.le, (Liberia,) February, 1853. My Dear Friend :—As c-old water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country ; and so refreshing were your letters extending from the Sin of September to the Bth November last. They came safe to hand by the Liberia Packet, January 20th, after a space of some nine or ten weeks, and found ns ail in the en joyment of very good health. In your last let ter you stated that you and your family were then very sick ; your November letter states that you were getting better, and also states your fixed determination on coming to this country the ensuing spring. j Lou intimate that information is received j from emigrants from all other States that come | out to tiiis country and is published, except I from those who went from Georgia- I can on- I ly say it is not that they have not written, for I I believe there have been as many letters sent Irom this {county in proportion to its population jas from any of the other counties. As regards I myself, my communications have been of a rc | ligious character ; and even now, itis not in j my power to answer your inquiries as. j I would wish, for my whole soul and mind is | engaged in building up this newly organized j church, which is as dear to me as life. It is j also a source of very great satisfaction to hear ’ of the flattering terms in which my friends and i brethren speak of me, both white and colored, j But 1 must return to your questions. You I wish in the second place, that I would give some I statement of things in general, and in particular iof the growth of Cotton aud Rice, &c. Our answer is this : this is emphtieally a tropical re gion, as all geographers will tell you. You have only to put your seed into the ground, with half the labor you have to perform iu the States, you here may thake a comfortable living. Cotton i and Rice grow here as well as in your Southern ’ States. I It is true, a fair trial was never made for the I culture of that valuable staple (Cotton) enough j to prove that it can be raised in great quantity. Rice is indigenous to this country; it will grow j almost anywhere you may plant it, on high or low land. We have Coffee, Potatoes, Ginger, Arrow-root, Pepper. There has not been much pains taken with the planting of Corn. Enough lias been done, however, to satisfy one that it can be made; for 1 have eaten as much as l wanted iu proof of it. As respects Coffee and other products, for a I recent comer, and a young man, 1 need only re j i’er to Mr. Joseph Bacon, one among many others j who bid fair to become independent farmers, ! to say nothing of tnose who are living at ease jon their farms. Come and see for yourself -1 Born, aud raised the first part of my life among the very best farmers in Liberty County, Geor gia, I know that these things can be raised in great quantities. You wish to know vvliat is my occupation.— 1 answer, a little of any and everything, from a house carpenter to a boat maker, I have not yet seen the day that I have regretted my coming Jto this country. All my objects have been realized, while I have contributed my humble : aid in laying the foundation of a civil and religious government. Should this letter reach j you before you leave, you can make use of it as ! you may see fit. No more, but remain your’s, j in love, Henry B. Stuart. Other letters to the same purport, we are in formed, have been received in this city and in other parts of the Southern States. The fact is now well established, that Liberia is the place for the free colored people of the United States. At the North,they area degraded and vicious population ; at the South are they objects of distrust among the whites and of envy among the blacks. In Liberia they are the equals at least of those around them, and may, by industry and sobriety, become worthy citizens. For Liberia. —Near one hundred Negroes passed through this city yesterday,on their way to Liberia. .Most of them were stout hearty looking fellows, and would command from eight to ten hundred dollars- They w ere nearly till from Philadelphia, Team, and its vicinity.—Dal ton Times, May 26 th. Dr. Baker, the U. S. Consul at Genoa, during a recent visit to Egypt, procured the donation of a valuable block of Egyptian granite, for the ; monument to Washington. It is taken from | the ruins of an ancient Temple of Alexandria, supposed to have been tiie Alexandrian Libra ry, and was brought over to Genoe by the French line of steamers gratuitously, in honor to the j memory of Washington. I Mrs. Mowatl. —We learn from the Boston i Transcript, ofthe 14th irist., that Mrs. Mowatt arrived in that city on the 12th inst., accompa nied by Wm. F Ritchie Esq., editor ofthe Rich mond Enquirer. In fulfilment of a promise of long standing, Mrs” M. will appear in tho char acter of Desdemona, for the benefit of Mrs. War ner, the accomplished English tragedienne whose severe indisposition and many trials have greatly enlisted the sympathy of the public.— Mrs. Mowatt will not appear again during this season, her own health not being quite re-estab lished. In September she will commence a round of farewell engagements in the principal cities of the Union, and early in the spring she will lav- aside her stage attire for the bridal robes, aud retire to Richmond to private life. Her last engagement and final farewell ofthe stage will take place in Boston, where also her nuptials with Mr. Ritchie will be celebrated. The editor of the Mountain Signal says he has weighed Wofford and Hiiiyer (politically we presume he means) and has found Wofford the heaviest. We should not be surprised if a Whig should slip in just before the election, and out weigh them both, nor would it be much matter either. Idolatry. —The Chinese Company, lately ar rived at New York, before they would decide to perform on Friday night at Niblo’s, tossed up their wooden God, Josh, (heads or tails,) to learn whether they could do so with impunity.— “Josh,’’ like loaded dice, came down favorably. [From the East Alabamian.] Girard Hoad. The following private letter has been handed to us for publication. We give it without com ment, for that would he superfluous. The sub ject and source of the letter render it sufficient of itself, speaking as it does to the best interests and hopes of our citizens. Weare sure that the call will be heartily responded to, ana that all the available energy and means ofthis town and section will b thrown into tho enterprise. Now is our time—so let ns throw off the accumula ted and cumbersome rust of inactivity, and let action—action with a hearty good will—hence forth be the order of the day. “A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether,” and it will not be long before our now silent woods echo back the scream of the “iron lierso,” as he thunders along the track. But read the letter ! Mobile, May 12, 1853. Mon. S. J. Bolling,— Dear Sir, — As I long since wrote you, 1 have come to this place to get aid to our Road, and only waited for the proper time. And no doubt you have seen v hat has been done. One million of dollars from the city, and we are now raising fifty thousand from private subscription—ten of it raised in a few hours—and I am waiting on a committee you see appointed to go and raise the balance, which 1 feel confident we shall do be fore 1 leave. That raised, and we shall com mence locating and grading tho road from this end immediately ; consequently say to your friends to prepare to go to work, and those who have not subscribed, they must come up to the aid of the road. Fori can now say with con fidence, the Road will be built. ~ VVe shall start agents on the line for more aid in a short time- in haste, your friend, ROBT.S. HARDAWAY. [From the Mobile Tribune.] We publish this morning a communication from Mr. Foster, concerning the resolution of fered by him at the recent Girard Raiiroad meeting. The impression, we believe, in relation to the propositions contained within the resolutions which were adopted is that they cannot be made practical. The object of tho meeting, however, was to elicit public opinion as to whether the citizens were willing to grant aid to the road. The manner of granting it was not considered to be important at the time. This, it was ex pected, could be arranged subsequently. The response given in public in favor of aid ing the road is so hearty that we think there will he no difficulty in adopting the plan which will be best calculated to make that aid available as soon as possible and in the most efficient man ner. We do not believe that the people will object to the assumption ofthe small tax which will he necessary for tiie payment of tho interest on the proposed bonds. Mr. Foster calculates that this interest will not he fifteen per cent., or about one seventh of the present tax, a sum which would hardly be felt. But there will be plenty of time to mature the conditions of these bonds. The assent of the Legislature has to he obtained for the loan, and it may turn out, so rapid are the changes in our public opinion in relation to raiiroad im provement, that the State itself may be induced to extend aid to the work. Independently, however, of any aid of this sort, the people of this city have exhibited a disposition for im provement that will go far to enlarge the muni cipal credit. The works she is engaged in are discreet works, and it will require no great sa gacity to see that the loans she seeks in behalf ol them are based on the soundest securities. The Montgomery Journal, in relation to this subject,says; “We publish in another column, the report of the meeting in Mobile, recoin- i mending the subscription of one million dollars to the Girard and Mobile Railroad, to which we refer the reader. We are glad to see that Mobile is at iast looking to its own interest in East Alabama. It cannot preserve that trade without stretching out its hand for it. This will aid to furnish a rapid communication of eastern interior Alabama with the gulf at two points, Mobile and Pensacola, as both those cities will connect with the main stem from this place. There are some restrictions, however, in the resolutions which may materially hamper the progress of the enterprise. Among them, the determination that the Mobile city bonds should not be sold under par. And again ; that they should not hear above seven per cent, in terest ; and further, that tiie avails of the bonds should not be applied above Greenville. These are restrictions which will tend to make the ac tion of Mobile, in a great degree, unavailable and inoperative. We trust tliat a reconside ration and modification of the terms ofthe grant ed bonds may be adopted so as to make them of practical value.’’ [From the Mobile Tribune.] Girard aud Mobile Kailroad. The official report of tiie proceedings of tho late Mobile and Girard Railroad meeting, repre sent that an “amendment to tiie fifth resolution was offered by Mr. Foster, and repulsed.’’ The use of so unusual and strong a term of refusal, has very naturally excited frequent inquiries as to the character and design ofthe resolution to which it refers, i am constrained to ask its publication as the only means of acquitting my self of the inference of having made au obnox ious offering to the meeting. It is as follows: Resolved, “That a Committee of seven he ap pointed by the Chair, to take into consideration all matters appertaining to the Girard and Mo bile Railroad, and report to an adjourned meet ing ofthe citizens of Mobile.’’ My object in proposing this as a substitute for Col. Phillips’s fifth resolution, was to invest the committee with more plenary [towers, that the subject, in all its bearings, might be mature ly considered, and some practical line of action determined upon. I did not then consider the plan put forth in Col. Phillips’s second resolu tion as practicable, and subsequent reflection has but served to strengthen my opposition to it. Its object is to induce the corporate authori ties of Mobile to aid the work of the Girard and Mobile Railroad Company to the extent of One Million Dollars, by sale of city bonds bearing not more than 7 per cent, interest, to be soid at par or not at all; and, if negotiated, the company to pay the interest. All this would do very well if it were practicable, but my fear is that it will fail of success, and thereby retard the progress of the work. Is it probable that our bonds, under the present embarrassed pecu niary condition of the city, would sell on such terms at par ? 1 think not. if, however, the sale could be effected, would it bo politic to tax the company with the payment of the interest l ft occurs to me it would not, for the reason that before it would be possible to render the road available, the annual drain of interest would exhaust a large portion ofthe “material aid’’ we propose to furnish. It js not probable that the road could be [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. completed, equipped and rendered profitable un der five years. Its payments of interest, there fore, being seventy thousand dollars per annum, would amount to three hundred and fifty thou sand dollars: the practical result of which would be to put one million dollars in one pocket of the directory, and extract from the other fifty thousaud dollars, more than one quarter of that sum. A fraction of this, however, might be saved, if the bonds could be negotiated from : time to time to suit the wants of the company, ; which might not be the case. With due deference to the scheme proposed, ! and its projections, it seems to me the better policy would be for the city, with the consent ofthe Legislature, and approval of its sovereigns, ; to sell its own bonds for eight hundred thousand dollars, with inteiest at six per cent., say forty eight thousand dollars per annum, to be paid by special tax for the purpose ; and as security for the payment of the bonds, the stock ofthe city, thus procured, bo hypothecated as collateral, j We cannot reasonably expect to share the ad ! vantages of this great enterprise, and aid it ma ! terially without money, and our only means of raising money is by direct taxation for, at least, the payment of interest. An additional tax of fifteen per cent, on present assessments would cease upon the completion of the road. These and kindred views I thought, and still think, worthy the consideration of the committee. I submit them, however, with diffidence, begging to assure all parties in interest that I am willing to co-operate in any well matured course of ac tion that may be adopted. H. FOSTER. Mobile and Ohio Bailroad. We learn that at a meeting of the Board held on Thursday, the necessary resolutions i were adopted providing for the sale of six mil lions of bonds, being in round numbers the j sum requisite for the entire completion and equipment of the mouth of the Ohio. The negotiation of the bonds has been ten dered to Col. William It. Hallett, who, for this purpose, will proceed to Europe. We do not anticipate any insurmountable dif ficulty in this negotiation; for, though the amount is a very large one, the basis upon which it will be placed is adequate to the most trying test. The land donated by the Government, ex ceeding eleven hundred thousand acres, is of itself a security ; for it may safely be placed in value at 85,000,000. When to this we add that the whole road-bed and superstructure are pro vided for by subscription, and that the money borrowed is to be invested iu the completion of the work, we see that there is the most ample and full security that could be required by the most scrupulous capitalist.— Register. Murder. Alfred Cremon is now confined in our jail for tho wilful murder, on Saturday evening, of a man name Willoughby, a resident of Coving ton county. Willoughby was travelling in this county peddling chairs of his own manufacture. It.appears that Willoughby stayed at Oremon’s bouse on Friday night. They were both seen on Saturday, previous to the murder, lying iu the road drunk, with a jug of whiskey between ; them. Cremon shot VVillougMiy twioo with IL rifle, one shot scarring his left elbow, and the other piercing his back. It is evident from the position of the body when found, which was ly ! ing on its face, that Willoughby was in the act lof running from Cremon when he fell. Wil ! loughby’s money is said to have been tiie incen ! live to the crime of murder.— East Alabamian. Outrageous.— A letter from Milledgeville, | dated 22d inst, informs us, that on the night I previous a diabolical attempt was made to mur der Mr. Hawkins and his family. It appears, in the morning Mr. H. had chastised a negro woman ofhis for impudence given to her mis tress, who threatened to kill one of his children, if lie repeated the whipping. In the afternoon, Mr. 11., his wife and daughter, started for their plantation out of town, but after proceeding about a mile lie turned back, feeling sick. He sent for a barber to shave him, and while under going the operation, a negro fellow by the name of Toby, (formerly the property of Mr. Tinsley,) the husband of the woman whipped in the morning, stepped to the door and said he wished to see his master. On Mr H. going out, Toby asked him why he whipped his wife, and made at him with a knife, threw Mr. 11. ito the floor, and cut his throat from ear to ear, without, however, severing the wind pipe. He also cut Mrs Hawkins slightly in the back, and Mrs Hawkins sister, Mrs Baily, in the side, on the face, andin the thigh. He would have killed Mr. Hawkins had notone ofhis negroes run from the stable and caughthis arm. The wounds inflic ted by him on all are serious, but not dangerous. Toby and his wife are both in prison, and will, no doubt, receive speedy punishment for the of fences committed. Great excitement was caused in Miiledgeville as soon as the circumstances became known. — Const. <Sp Rep. Slabbing. —A case of extreme violence and ruffianism occurred yesterday afternoon. A gen tleman was walking with a lady in Water street, near Newhouse’s store, when a man, said to be a Spaniard, and supposed to be crazy, not only offered some'offence to the lady, but severe ly stabbed the gentleman.
