Spinning upon Plantations.
Mv. Editor : in your issue of 31st December lust, I
notice an article upon tiie above subject, taken from the
.Journal ol C anmeree, over the siguature ot “Spinner
aeitiiig* for.Ui Uie advantages of Mv. Henry’s patent, for
maim!acturiu£ yarns dueet from the sted eottou ; against
wifi eh process I propose to present a tew hastily written
objecti. ns, fur the benefit cd those reflecting planters
who nny contemplate embarking in the spinning busi
ness ;
It is ev'dcnt, from the artie’e referred to, ihnt the wri
ter is not a cotto’i spinner, or is deeply in'.eres cd in Mr. i
Henry’s iuveutioajn and sacrifices his bolter judgment to his j
pecuniary interest. Every “Spinner” i t experience knows
that cotton does not spin as freely, uiiectfroni ihesttd,
while it is yet gp#-en and in an unripe and oily state, as
after it ha* iieen ginned sufficiently long to ripen and be
..cop-ie thoroughly dry ; besides being a large p< r
tiu of the shorter fibres ore thrown eft’m but waste,
for want of that adh-.siun which they obtain alter being
compressed. So well is this understood by our south
ern manufacture, s, that they strictly avoid new cotton as
l.mg its a bale o! the old crop is to be bad.
From ‘‘Spiun -i V’ remarks, wo are led to infer, that to
optp the cottonlrV our present process, it must necessa*
riiy undergo a “tearing, bruising and ■ pulverising’ ma
nipulation in consequence of which tre; lnient “a large
quantity of brok .u up, mutilated, and intrinsically de
stroyed fibres, enter iu'.o the yarn, and of which it is
largely composed.* Such is not according to my ex
perience, and 1 Stave had some. From a careful exam*
inu iou.uf the cotton in the lint room, behind the picker,
aud alsj tho lap after it had passed the spreader, I have
been uoiible to detect any hioken fibres, except such as
liad become rotten from wet and exposure, rnrd a large
portion oi these arc thrown into the dust box, among the
sand, loat-trash, tfcu., and a still, larger portion is ex
tracted in the process of carding. But, says “tfpirtner,”
u thc waste, by Mr. Henry’s process, is di/nmishid at
iennt teu per cent.” The same argument holds good in
rclatiou tosuch of cur factories as receive their cotton
direct, ‘.com liic planter, and store in their warehouses,
where and remains to ripen and dry, tree from explore
and ti c fiocurtdilation ol dirt, in being drayed through
our muddy streets and cotton yards ; and I eould uamc
mills where the savings iu waste is eveu gcater tlian
those promised by Mr. Henry.
After being carded, the cotton is passed through a se
ries of drawings, by which the slivers doubled and drawn
uufii two hundred or upwards of the original slivers cu
ter into one—the slivers, as they come from the cards,
arc exceed [ugly lender and loose, the fibres not bemg yet
lpranged Ju parallel form, requisite lor good spinning.
This doubling and drawing effects the two fold purpose
jof stretch.ug the fiores ami equalizirg Uie bands. The
| niufe a baud is doubled arid eliminated, the more perfect
will bo the vara spun from it. So essential is this doub
iTng aud dra .via r, that it is contended by some carders
that it cam no. we i be carried too tar—irom fifiO to 1,000
being tho inost.eommou, and in some instance's, it is ex
unded to *2300 ? without this it is found impossible to
yi'Muee an even thread. You will at once see the falla
cy of -connecting these various machines, and cutting oft’
thereby, the possibility of conducting this, the most im*
porianiy precept; in the whole department.
Did Air. Henry’s process consifct iu simply combining
the*gin with l ip-machine, 1 would still object to it, no;
alone from’ the reasons given above, but tor other and
ia,,re weighty considerations. When the cotton has been
duly opened by the picker or wfilley, it is taken from the
fiat room and weighed ; that a given quantity may be
spread over a given spaoe, on die apron of the lap-ma
chine. This is doneto ejualize the thickness of the sheet
or lap, which otherwise must be very unequal. The
regularity and pr.-cisioa of the work, iu the various
brunches of curding, drawing, roving uud spinning, are
iu a great measure dependent on the careful manner in
-which the cotton is weighed and sproad to this rr.acftiue
So essential is it that this duty is properly performed,
that it has been found necessary to introduce a second
laper, by which those of the first are doubled and equal
ized. Any person at all acquainted with the workings
of the gin, Will at once see the impossibility of -regulating
the lap through its combination w ith the spreader. *
years ago, 1 visited, in company with an
experienced carder, a small factory, owned aud cundu.-t..
ed by an enterprising citizen of this State, who, experi
encing the d.ftieultiea then common ambftg manufaotu
rers, incident to the want of proper machines for ooen
ing the com pressed cotton, had conceived and carried out
the nloa of counoo ing a gin to his laper and usiug the
Cotton direct from the seed —which is precigtdy the plan
of Mr. Ileury. After looking through the various de-
artuicnys, we were shown thiaeombimd maeh'ue, apd
ny companion was skt-d h s op non of it. “Throw i;
•ut of the window,” was the reply. When I visited
that establishment again, a few weeks laier, the gin had
l een removed ami the lap apron restored, and if such is
not the eouiseof all its successors, then I am no
Operator.
Augusta, Ga , Jan. 19th, 1857.
From Correspondence of tne Charleston Courier.
Life in Washington—Senator Butler.
Washington, Jan. 16—We will now fulfill a promise,
and present our leaders with a few brief peu sketches of,the
most distinguished luminaries of the Senate Chamber—or,
at least in our own enthusiastic appreciation of.them. In’
approaching tbs delicate ground, we feel considerable dif
fidence. To (?o unb assed justice lo ilie character of
ihe living is among the most difficult of tasks Even of
the dead we cart rarely speak without undue praise or un -
deserved blame. The claims of friendship, the shadings
of enmity, and the Lias of personal feeling, too often per
vert the pen of the biographer when he speaks of the dead.
How much more easily are we betrayed into error when
we attempt to delineate the character of those who yet live
Uj be wounded by unmerited censure, or mortified by un
judicious commendation.
Such considerations may well make u* feel some deli
cacy in sketching those who fill conspicuous places iu this
great deliberative body.
We commence wuh one who is universally conceded
the most nniqtie arid original intellect in the Senate.—
Though this gentleman (Judge Butler) is a favorable sub
ject, we find the. task of accurate delineation to be far less
easy than we anticipated. I ,ike t e poor artbt who had 10
deal with the philosopher of Fernev, with all onr efforts
wo cannot keep him steady in any single postuie on ex
nressien. Like all men 01 impetuous impulse, ho is rest
less One moment we see him pacing to and fro the
space between’ the chimneys behind the Speaker’s Chair,
gravely mu-iug on some matter of moment—we look
again, and lo ! he is environed by a living palisade of
ators, eager to catch up any chance opinion that may fall
from him in a colloquial way—one moment giving the
grasp of his warm r ight hand to some younger Senator—
the next directing the storm of popular debate with Ja
strength of lungs and a redundancy of animation as if he
had Just started fresh for the labors of the day
The effect of this gentleman's powers are greatly aided
by his countenance, which is one of the most striking we
ever saw; and yet the peculiarity lies so much in the ex
pressmen that we find ir not easy to describe it. Nature
has certainly .given the world assurance of a man in the
form, complexion, add wild meteoricjlocks of this remark
able person. A strong and searching intellect looks out
on you from beneath that streaming of silvery hair.
The face is inelegant, hut there is a soul in the nooks and
corners of its nigged surface. Everything about him—hi-?
appearance, his style, his daring of tone and spirit remind
us of primitive ages, when the human heart and the human
soul were larger than in our degenerate days.
More entireiv, perhaps, than any niau in public life has
he given the South assurance full, and heaped, and run
ning over of what he means, and what was meant by
his existence. South Carolina has reason to be proud of
her venerable son, and prouder because in distance and
nbpynoebc ncve-VnlloWS hie 100 it to travul a wav from hi*
native .State. This: is substantiated by his labors, his
speeches, the impress of his whole life. He stamps his
image and superscription on ail that is sound and solid in
the policy of the South. \Every ,part of his public life
shows him t a be a statesmen endowed in an eminent de
g;ee with all the qualities which enable him to discharge
the mo't responsible duties.
He has shown also, that it is possible for the same person
to be a most dexterous and subtle disputant upon a point
of lav/, as well as statesmanlike reasoner upon compre
hensive questions. We have enjoyed the privilege of hea->
ring him in the Supreme Court on important cases. There
he seems to.us to hold the same pre-eminence that he does
in the Senate* to be most admirably qualified for this de
partment. His powers of reasoning are wonderful. Give
! him the most complicated and doubtful case to support
—with ah array of apparently hostile decisions to oppose
him at every step. He rises and commences by some gen
eral undisputed principle of law that seems perhaps at the
first vi -vv, not to hear the remotest relation to the matter
in controversy; but to this he appends another, and anoth
er, until by a regular series of connected propositions he
brings it down to the very point before the court; and in
si.-ts, nay, demonstrates, that the Court cannot deeide
against him without violating one of its own most venera
ted maxims Nothing •can be more masterly than the
manner in which, this is done. There is no ostentation of
ingenuity and research. Everything is clear, simple and
i familiar'; it is only when we are brought to the ultimate
result thajt we start at discovering that by jm ijcrcc.ptjble
abandon a position that was deemed impregnable.
The moment a question is submitted to him, his mind
I seems to intuitively apply all the great principles that arc
i favorable or hostile. For the rest he seems to depend up
| on his extemporaneous power of going through the most
intricate processes of thought with all the ease and famili
arity of ordinary di-course.
After reviewing the career of this [distinguished man . an
impartial observer will be disposed to say, that as a pro
found and original mind, he stands in the Senate alone.
Venerable for his years, venerable for his abilities, vener
ated throughout the South for his fidelity to her interests,
high in honors, and possessing in these tumultuous times an
equanimity and dignity of mind that renders him infini
tivejy superior to mere party spirit.
This is not the time for settling the precise place that he
will fill up in the great gallery .of American Statesmen,
and yet we think we are sate in predicting that,ho must and
will take place with such names, as Clay, Calhoun, Ran
dolph, Marshal and'a host of other immortal spirits.
In private life this gentleman is known as a warm sym
pathizer witiUevery spcci sos genuine excellence; and
fearless in thp expression of that sympathy. Jn his frank
and generous temperament—hifc forgetfulness of self--he is
said to resemble the lamented Clay. If he were to pursue
the resemblance into the character of the two men, the
; points of similarity would multiply. There are deeds in
1 this gentleman’s privitelife which will never Jpassaway.—
They blend a warm beam with our admiration, and prove
conclusively that he has a heart as warm as his intellect is
ample.
But this Is sacred ground This (long may it .be defer
red) must be left for his obituary.
Dispersion of tho Present Administration. —A Wash
ington letter says:
The members of the present administration are making
their arrangements for withdrawal alter the 4th of March.
It is prohabie that the President will remain here until the
middle of March, and then visit Cuba lor a month or
more. Mrs. Pierce’s health has always been quite feeble,
and her physicians advise against the sudden change from
thi* climate to that of New England in the spring, owing
to a pulmonary tendency. The family are much urged to
make a tour of the southern States, hut Mrs Pierce has
invariably shrunk from the demonstrations that would ne>
coHsarify such movements, and these invitations
will hardly be accepted. Mr. Marcy is established so
comfortably in the west end lhat he will probably let an
other quarter day roll over his head after the 4th March,
especially as his former residence at Albany has been re
cently sold. Mr. Guthrie’s establishment in Louisville
has been kept open during his stay here, and will be ven
dilated early in Marrii for his reception. Mr. McClel
land, like a sensible man of business, wdl go at ouce back
to Ins profession. Mr. Da vim, after attending the execu
tive session ol the Senate—to which lie is elected—will
visit Mississippi, and settle down again into a hackneyed
member of Congress. Mr. Dobbin entertains the purpose
of Peeking a genial climate, to recruit bis health, which
has suffered seriously by his labors here. Mr. Campbell
wdl return immediately to Pftdadelphia, and Mr. Cushing,
like his friend Mr. Mieawber, may wait for something to
turn up. In a lew months more the lAdministraiion will,
pass into hi-tory, and the men who compose it, into com*
paiative oblivion. Such is the fate of political honors.
None Exempt. —lq her life of George Washington,
Mrs. Kirkland g:vts us one dose view of that stately lady,
Mrs. Manila Washington.
k Tf we were to give-our private opinion,” says Mrs.
Kirkland, I ‘we should say lhat Mrs. Martha Curtis Wash
ington, with her large fortune, her s’rong domestic
tastes and rff efiofis, and dutiful common sense charac
ter. exercised her full share* of influence over the Com
mand r in-CSfief of the Aimltsof the United States of
Am- rica. Spe bad a very d-cuitd way of yptak’mg, and
us ehe never middled in public affairs, we can ersily
imagine the General letting her have her own way in
pretty much everything eise.
44 A guest at Mount Vernon happened to sleep in a
room adj lining that occupied by the President and his
lady. Late in she evening, when people had retired to
their various chambers, he heard the lady delivering a
very animated lecture to her lord and muster, upon some 0
thing which he had done, that she thought ought to be
done differently. To all this he listened in the profound,
est silence, and when she, too, was silent, he opened his
lips and spoke, ‘now, geod sleep to you, my dear.’ This
auecdote of the great man in his uight cap is quite char
acteristic of him, but it is equally so of most lords and
masters, who, we imagine, all receive curtain lectures,
as Mr. Caudle and Washington did, in profound silence.
Experience probably teaches them that it is the best
way.”
Cinderella's Slipper was Fur, not Glass. —Two cen
turies ago, says “Notes and Quen ies,” furs were so rare,
and therefore ,eo valuable, that the wearing of them was
restricted, by several sumptuary laws, to kings and prin
ces. Hoble, iu those laws, was called vair, and was the
subject of countless regulations ; the exact quality to b
worn by pevspDa of different grades and the articles of
dress to which it might be applied'', being defined most
strictly. Perrault’s tale of “Cinderella” originally mark
ed the dignity conferred on her by the fairy, by her
wearing a slipper of vair, a privilege then confined to
the highest rank of princesses. An error of the press,
t ow become inveterate, changed vair into verre, (glass)
and the slipper of sable became converted into some,
thing much more brittle.
[From Galignaniks ff/essenger, Jan. 5.J
, Assassination of tiie Archbishop of Paris.
I Paris was plunged into j rofouud consternation on Sat
* urduy evening, by the report that the Archbishop of Par-*
is, whilst officiating in the Church of St. Etienne-du*.
Mont, hid been murdered by a priest. At first, no one
could believe in the reality of so awful a crime, commit
ted in such a place and by tech a baud ; hut it Was stain
ascertained, lamentable to relate, that the sad intelligence
was only too true. The following is a detailed account
of this dreadful Crime :
Satuiday was the fete of Ste. Genevieve, and the Arch-’
Lis rop went to the church according toau announcement,
to the opening of the annual nt-uvaioe in
honor of ihe saint, who * is patroness of the city of Par
is. After vespers, and after a sermon preached by Mgr.
L'iceariere, Bishop of Li Jiasse'Tcrre, a procession was
formed and paraded round the church iu the customary
way, the Archbishop in his lob s walking at the head of
the lady patronesses of Sic. Genevieve. Just as the
Archbishop arrived opposite the outer door, and was
about to turn up the nave, a man advanced towards him
from the crowd of spectators, aud removing the prelate's
cope wish his left baud, plunged with his right hand,
a large Catalan knife into the prelate’s br-ast, near the
Hea.-r, exclaiming, as he did so, “and >wn with the goddess!”.
(A has la deesse) The Aruhhbbrp fell b n ck two sUps,
cried out “AA, le metlheureux /” staggered and fell into
the arms ol the priesis who surrounded him. The
wounded prelate moaned two or three limes as if in great
suffering, and was'the m mem after bathed 3n the bloo 1
which flowed from the Wound. He was immediately
conveyed into the vestry and nud ica I assistance sent for;
but all human aid was found to be useless, as he expired
almost hnmcdialely. The fatal blow was sttuek with such
extraordinary rapidity that it Was impossible to prevent
it. The assassin, a young man >f about 30 years©}’ age,
dressed in dark colored clothes, made no attempt Jo es
cape, and was immeditely seized ; he had at the moment
the knife, from which Mood was dropping, still in the
hand. Just before the venerable prelate breathed his
last, the Abbe Surat, the vicar general who was close to
firm, gave him absolution.
The assassin was conveyed to the naairie of the 12ih
arroudi'sement, juiJ M. Moignon, substitute of the Pro*
cureur Imperial, mid M. Trennard, examining magis
trate, were imm diattly summoned, and commenced an
interrogatory. M. Go rd uin, Procure ut Imperial, and M.
Pietii, Prefect of Police, subsequently interrogated him
also. From what he said it appears that he is a priest
of the diocese of MeaUx, named Verges. He had been
fur or five times interdicted for m seonduet, and ?ome
months hack was again suspended for having ptcached
against the dogma of five Immaculate Conei pti* n. In No
vember last he displayed great z-al in defending a wo
rn in who was tried at Melon lor poisoning her husband,
and though she was convicted of the crime, and con
demned to hard labor for life, he printed a pamphlet de
claring she was innocent, and casting the grossest impu
tations on the indpra and ihe public prosecutor. The
pamphlet was seized hy the authorities before it cou!d be
distributed, and it caused anew complaint against him
to be made to bis bishop. A little later he uttered mena>
cos against a respected clergyman of the diocese of Par
is, who had done, him many kindnesses 5 and the cler
gy than deemed il necessary to make representation to
the police. On the 24th of December the man c irne
to Paris, aud tonk up his rea d;nee at an hotel. No. 2
Rue Racine. 7/e was accustomed to jWs days in the
public libraries ; and even on Saturday he went into cue
as usual, lie endenycred to obtain an appointment in
the Disocese of Paris, btft it was notified to him that the
Archbishop would not grant him one. On hearing that,
he appears to have projected the death of the prelate, and
he purchased for (lie purpose a knife, at the shoo of a
cutler in the Rue Dauphine.
After he had stated the previous facts, he was asked
if he had stabbed the Archbishop more than once, find
he answered : “No ; I only gave him one stab, for I
struck in the heart, and knew the blow was mortal ”
“Why,”, he was asked “did you cry ‘Down with the god
dess !’ when you struck the lata! blow ?” “Because Ido
not believe in the doctrine of the immaculate Concep
tion, against which I have preached from the pulpit ; and
I wished to protest once more against the impious doc
trine.” “Why did you commit so grave a crime?” “Be
/ie irit‘ll :übeu. truer Yi paflst-, x\ priest vTrrr*r-mj*m*
lowed to die of hunger.” He admitted that be bad gone
to th® church with the prehmditated intention of killing
ihe Archbishop ; and he thens: veral times cried, with
some violence’, “No goddess ! no goddess!” One of the
gentlemen who interrogated him n maikcd that the crime
which he had committed was one of frightful enormity.
“Yes,” he exclaimed, “it is frightful !” and then tears
fell from his eyes. He begg< and fi r a New Testament,
and said, “I shall have great need of it during the night.”
The assassin replied to the questions put to him with
calmness, and only displayed agitation when he referred
to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. Ilia fea
tures are full of expression. In the course of the eve
ning he was-cqpveyed to the Conciogerie, and a turnkey
was placed wiih him iu his cell. On examining h ; s dress
some printed pip.is were found fastened in his coat.—
These papers were writings against the Immaculate Con
ception, and against the Archbishop in connection with
it.
Nestor , Trlemarhus and Calypso.—One murnir.g,
during ihe la:e session of our Legislature, while break
fast was in progress, at the 7/ouse, Columbia,
Major Perry, having finished bis meal, lett his tabic, and
was in the act of passing a group, at another table, v. here
one of iiis friends was enjoying lively.converse wqh one
of the loveliest and most accomplished matrons, who
figured at our State Capitol, during the laie Legislative
season. As Major Perry was stalking by, in all his alti
tude of stature, stateliness of step and dignity of manner,
his friend arrested him and said—“ Permit, me, Major,
to present y*u to Mrs. .” “Madam,” replied the
Major, “Mr. ,is my Mentor.” “True, Madam,”
replied Mr. , “and the Major is my Telefnachus.”—
“Your Tall am ten*, you mean,” was the ready rejoin
der of the lady. “Yes, Madam,” said Mr. “and
(alias he is, I bid him beware of Calypso.” The Mi
jor. however, was quite unmindful of the friendly admo
nition, and like numerous others, soon gave evidence
that he could not resist the fascination of the syren —one,
of whom Gov. Manning had said, at the Commencement
Ball —”She ought to be elected Profespprnss • f grace
and eleganae iu the South Carolina College.”— Charles
ton Courier.
Keen Rejgineer.—Mr. Buffutn, of Lynn, Massachu
setts, was under cross examination by an attorney named
Lord, who did his best to perplex and brow beat him so
as to overset the testimony he had given again?! his client.
The question was something relating io machinery, and
Mr. Bnftum bad used the word M philoFophicallv’’ in his
evidence. Mr. Lord continually harped upon thisphrasb,
and endeavored to make the witness ndieulous iu the eyes
the jury. At last he enquired:
“Pray, Mr. Witness, as you seem to be a great philo ; o
pher, can yoiritell me philosophie'illy what the consequr m*e
would be if the air should he exhausted from a hogshead!”
“Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Buftiim, ‘the head would fail in.’
“Indeed, sir,” pursued the counsel; “can you tell mo phi
losophically why the head should fall in first?'’
“Yes, sir,” returned Ruft'um, “it is because hoxheads are
like some lawyers—their heads are the weakest part.”
The roar of the court room acknowledged the victory
of the witness over the counsel.

India Rubber. —Canes*,’cabinet ware, spectacle bows.
opera*elasses, castors and stands, brushes for.the hair, pen
cil cases, and in fact, almost everythmgean lie made of it.
One very important one, however, should not be omit
ted, the new telegraph wire is made of it. It needs no
poles, no covering. The wire is laid in a trench a few inch
es deep, enclosed in the rubber; no dampness cun effect it;
no storm throw it down; no insect sever it; no ru -t cor
rode. The government has ordered naval buttons to be
supplied of this material. Gutta pereha may be employed
iu the same way with equal advantage.

Nicaragua.
On Tuesday night 20th a large ineeiing in behalf of Walk

, Arcade. Judge E R iwle was |irts dent- Anungthe
me in bets of the committee todraft resolirtk'tis was Pierre

’ defence of Walker, and the inipoitunec of the cause in
wh eh he is enlisted. After they were adopted (says the
Crescent) Ceri. Kewen appeared ell Lilt stand, apj made
a most idreihle and eli quern speech, which was leeeived
with ath rmelii ns e>( the pridoundest sib lice med tiie most
boisteri us applause, lie intimated, at tiie cutset, that
sympathy ol a more substantial kind than that ot feel

er giMCfg to its aid, and i the most forcible tend graphic
manner depicted the triais, struggles and rksissitoeles of
that gallant warnin’ and his comrades, from the time of
their lauding to the present ily.’ He denounced those
persons who croak ol Waikei’s failure,’ and those other
persons Who have sold themselves lo his persecutors,
with till the fire of the genuine p triot—showed the im
possi-ility of such a man failing iu such a cause—and
held np the evidence us the recent interference of Eug-
Imd in behalf of the e nemy as additional reasons why
the men of theS- nth should rally to Walter’s aid. lie
concluded with n most earnest and powerful appeal to tie
meetiug to show their sympathy lor Walker and his
cause by contributing tiie means that are so much need
ed at the presell juncture.
When Uol. Iv Well Concluded, the motion was put and
carried, that the I’resideht appoint a committee of ten to
solicit subscriptions up to tlee time of the deqiarture of
the next stearoeq- ior Nicaragua, and that a subscription

Thciaas H. Benton.
The> State of Missouri has at lakt; we think, put a fi
nrl close- to the political life- of (’ol. Hcnteip. Two anti-
Kenton Democrats have been elected to the U. S. Se
nate. Cue of them, Tiusten Polk, was the eiemiefaiic
candidate for Goveruor al the late tltciion, chosen over
Col. BeDton ; and the other, James S. Green, formerly
a Representative in Congress, and more recently Minis
ter to New Grenada, has bourn one of the most decided
anti-Benton men in jVissouri. This closes the series of
political defeats which began with Col, Benton when ho
lost his 1-0 election to the U. S. Senate. Ha rallied once,
and was returned to the House of Re-pr< s. nfatives. Seek
ing a re sleetion there, he was defeated by Mr. Kenneth
Aiming Ut tiie .Senator,nip again, lie became a candidate
for Governor, with iho real view of strengthening Ids
position in the Legislature for the Senatorship, in which
two seats were to be filled, this year He was badly
beaten for Governor, and iiis combinations for the Sen t
lor.'hip have signally failed, also, lie is, therefore, entire
ly out of political life, and the door is finally closed
against his return.
Fatal Duel.
A hostile meeting took place yesterelay at 1 o'clock
at “The Giles,” between l’.iekeiiham Le Biane, Deputy
Sher.fi’ of the Supreme Court, and George W. White
tiie hook keeper of N. C. Kojger, ol Old Levee street’.
The immediate insult which led to the challenge and the
duel was of the grossest kind, and demanded appeal to
the most deadly redress among those who abide by ihe
“code of honor,” or who have manhood curingh to re
sent the most unpardonable effetiee. The cause that ltd
to the insult being offered, was the relnsal of the Cont

ticket of admittance for a friend of Mr. Packenfipm Lo

The Washington Union.
New Editor of the Washington Union.— The ru
mor is current, although we think no definite arrange
ment to that ffi'ect has been consummated, that lion.
John Appleton of Maine, is to succeed Judge Nichols
son, as editor of the Washington Union. We are
quite certain that we are not mistaken when we say
that Mr. Appleton’s accession to the post named will
be received with satisfaction by the entire democratic
party of the Union. Ho is a gentltmsn of fine talents,
familiar with public tile—having been iu Congress, and
served as secretaiy of legation at London while Mr.
Buchanan was minister—accustomed to editorial ser
vice as conductor of the Eastern Argus, a paper of
decided ability and discretion, and, t btve all, as a qual
ification for the position which rumor assigns him,
possesses sagaeity and prudence. He is well under
stood to enjoy, in a high degree, the esteem and confi
dence of the incoming President. —Albany Argus.
Tiie rumor referred to above is well founded. Af
ter the 4th of March, the editor of this paper will re
tire, when the Hon. John Appleton will become sole
editor and proprietor. The arrangements which have
resulted in this change have beee consummated with
out the slightest difficulty ; and we sincerely congrat
ulate our readers upon a result which secures -the ser
vices of a gentleman whose eminent qualifications are so
truthfully set forth in the above remarks of the Albany
Argus. We may be excused lor adding that our re
tirement is voluntary, and in pursuance of a resolution
long since made. At pie-ent, we deem any further
remarks unnecessary.— IVns/i. Union.
Mont talk —The Senior off. —Some days since we
mentioned that Mems. Watt, Lanier dr. Cos., so well
ktovvn from Georgia to Texas, in the Hotel line, had pur
ch?ed the splendid Tennessee Watering Plate, known as
the Mont rale Springs. There is no watering place in the
South which has a ingher reputation for ih*- salubrity of
its atmosphere *md waters; the icanty of. tutri unding
scenery; and last but not least, tbe abundance of the home
market tor the choi> e-t provisions. Ju tact, “ail mound
there” is one great natural larder, and W., L. Cos. are
going to tap it, in a most scientific style.
The Senior Mr. Lanier left herejfast Saturday, to com
mence active operations. Complete renovation and en-
Jarge meut is to be the order of the day. There will be a
general “Hying round” there for the pext month or two,
and by die time tho paint dries, the {dust subsides, and'the
Spring flowers begin to blow, Montvuie will bloom out, a
most delicious Fairy spot—inviting hundieds’to retire from
tbe earliest heat of the low country and to luxuriate jn the
rich feeds, the delightful waters and the unceasing round of
gaiety of the cool mountains of Tennessee. To slay irom
Montvale next season, will be to stay out of the world

Martyrdom of a Catholic Missionary in China —A
letter received from on bo aid the French war frigate Vir
g n : a, near Shanghai, narrates the cruel death of Father
Cliapdelaiue, a Missions!y. It says :
“The detai sos his death are most horrible. The Chi
nese, even alter their victim was dead, persecuted hie re
mains with unrelenting hatred. ITs head was stuck up*
on the point of a pike, and the children were encouraged
tothrow stones at it for seit-fiilWhat is still more
frightful, and w;l hardly be believed rs a fact, is, that his
heart was cut io pieces, iheu cooked i long with some
pig’s tripe, and eaten by the soldiers of the mandarin
tigers rather than men.
“The mispi*y w ho has thus been put to death, was
named Clteppdel iniV. We, upon arriving at Macao, shall
demand sAnstaciioii from the Viceroy at Canton. ‘Die
discussions with the Chinese government Which will en
sue upon this affair, are. likely to he very protracted ; tl ey
will rcsqlt, 1 have no a- übt, in the cxecu.ing f lomo
criminal or other, dressed upas a mandarin, to pass for
the guilly official. This is what we mr.y call Chinese
justice.”
