The following personal sketches are well worth the space they occupy. It is from Thomas’s Reminiscences of the last sixty-five years: JOHN RAXDOLPIT. On a bright, sunny morning, early in February, 1796, might have l>een seen entering my Book-store, in Charleston.' S. C., a fine looking, florid complexioned old gentleman, with hair as white as snow; which, contrasted with his com plexion, showed him to have been a free liver, or bon vivant , of the first order. Along with him was a tall, gawky-look ing, flaxen-haired stripling, apparently of the age of from sixteen to eighteen, with a camplexion of a good parchmeht color beardless chin, and as much assumed self consequence as any two-footed ani mal I ever saw: this was John Rando'ph. I hanced him from the shelves volume after volume, which he tumbled careless ly over and handed back again : at length he hit upon something that struck his fancy—iny eye happened to be fixed up on his face at the moment, and never did I witness so sudden, so perfect a change of human countenance ; that which be fore was dull and heavy, in a moment became animated, and fladu and with the brightest beams of intellect; he stepped up to the old gray-headed gentleman, and, giving him a thundering slap on the shoulder, said, “Jack, look at this !” I was young then, but 1 never can forget the thought that rushed upon my mind at the moment, which was, that he was that he was the most impudent youth I ever saw. “ lie had come to Charleston to attend the races. There was then living in Charleston a Scotch baronet, by the name of Sir John Ncsbit, with his younger brother, Alex ander, of the ancient house of Nesbits, of Dean Hall, some fifteen miles from F,din burg. Sir John was a very handsome man, and as “ gallant , gay Lothario ,” as could be found in the cily. lie and Randolph became intimate, which led to a banter between them fora race, in which each was to ride his own horse. The race came off during the race week, and Randolph won—some of the Indies ex claiming at the time, “ though Mr. Ran dolph had won the race, Sir John had won their hearts.” This was not so much to be wondered at, when you contrasted the elegant form and graceful style of ri ding of the baronet, with the uncouth and awkward manner of his competitor. “Some two or three years after this visit to Charleston, he was elected a mem ber of Congress, and such was still his youthful appearance, that when lie ap peared at the Clerk’s table to qualify, that gentleman could not refrain from asking him his age: the answer was prompt, if not satisfactory—“ask my constituents, sir,” was the reply. John Adams was then President, and Mr. Randolph took a decided part against his administration. Congress was silting in Philadelphia, and Mr. Adams’ “ hot water war with France” being then on the tapis, the latitude Mr. Randolph gave his tongue in debate oc casioned his being assaulted in the lobby of the theatre, by an officer of the army or navy, 1 do not reeojlect which, or who he was; but Mr. Randolph made a for mal complaint, which, to the best of my memory met with but a cold reception. Party runs high enough now, and much too high for the good of the conn ry ; but lie who supposes it never rose knows nothing of the period to which 1 allude. Among the members of Congress, Mr Randolph had hut few personal friends but those few he “riveted to his heart with hooks of steel.” Among them was the Hon. Mr. Bryan from Georgia; the late Governor David R. Williams, of So. Carolina, and the still later venerable Na thaniel Macon, of North Carolina. At the close of a session, soon alter the re moval of Congress to Washington, the former of these gentlemen (Mr. Bryan) married a daughter of Gen. Foreman, of Maryland, and with her and her sister spent some days in Charleston, when on their way to his estate in Georgia. On this occasion, Mr. Bryan showed me a letter which he had just received from Randolph, congratulating him upon his marriage. A letter of more beautiful simplicity and feeling, I never read. 1 recollect that, while the writer dwelt up the happiness and advantages to be ex pected from a wedded life, lie spoke feel ingly of never expecting to enjoy them himself. The following beautiful extract is from the writings of Frederika Bremery Genius and its Powers. —“lt gives gladness, gladness, to the world, gladness to the soul of every man ! Light to the past, power to the present, hope for com ing days. 1 lave you seen the graves and the ruins upon the earth! Have you seen nations and thrones vanish away? —seen how those who have done works of love and heroic acts, sink into the si lent grave ?—how ashes cover the splen did temples, and how mists hangs over and obscures the sepulchres of heroes, and how every tiling, every thing passes away from the actual world ? “But who is the glorious One who Scatter-; the clouds with flaming glances, and causes the spirits of the departed to live again in gloried forms ? the immor tal bard, who preserves the memory of nations, tiieir struggles, their victories, their wounds, the treasures which they gained, and which one age inherits from another ; who causes 11s to weep 10-dav at the sufFeriofl*- ,! * J ' •> cum to rejoice at UK* erent aetiCus winch have passtd away lor thousands of years? Bright dawn ot morning to the world sunk 111 darKuess, Genius, it is thou ? “When the spirit speaks, then is the heart of nations expanded; immortal wor ds which lay there slumbering,w ake ajrain. Men look up, a.d perceive am w their nobler selves, they btcoyie belter, aaor«i laving, »u •i happiar. “Dark clouds pass over the earth.— There are autumn nights when all the stars of heaven are obscured, and the heart of man is sick of life, of all around him,of himself. No animating feeling dwells in his heart, no tear comes to his eye, wherever lie looks it is night, an in the darkness are pale, frightful shadows —and the air which he breathes suffo cates hi in. Then ! what flashes out of file eloud, and makes the night clear,and permits us to see the beautiful spirits which were hidden behind file clouds, and which now smile down upon us / It is genius, it is the great artist! llis lightning flash has touched the heart of the unhappy ram, he has wept, his suf ferings aie alleviated ; yet another beam of light, another glimpse of the divine countenance, and lie looks us with hoj>e and courage. “And when a nation bleeds, when a deep wound has been struck at its heart, and it seems as ifi:s strength, its free dom, its noblest liie, must pass away un der the hand of the executioner; who is it who, even then, speaks of better days, who raises again the fallen eagie, and al low his eye again to look at the eternal sun l Comforter of the cast down, Seer md Prophet of the mysteries of Cod, Genius, all hail ! “Who makes nature glorious? who understands her language, reads the si lent hymn of the flowers, and compre hends the thoughts in the songs of the birds? Who listens to the spirits of the mountain gnd the river, and to the voice of God in the rolling thunder, in the rustling fore-1, and explains to man the works of God in nature ! “Thou wonder-worker, though life in life, thou mightv hand, thou who bindest together time &, eternity, ever-renewing, ever-producing power, thou who lookest on the path of the sun, and on the heart of man, thou who seekest out the essence of the Divinity, and the life of the little flower, we conceive tiiee not, Lut we know well whence thou art ! “Man fell, and the spirit went astray in dark dreams; hut the jubilee of a higher reached him. O ! then the scat tered features united in a heavenly smile, the misty figures of his dream received life and color, and all his recollections stood lip in bright light—a beam of God's brightness, genius smiles upon the earth, and illuminates tlic dark reality,” THE ACTOR’S CIILD. ‘Shade of Kemble! ejaculated Ward, at that time manager for Jefferson .Mack enzie, B tltiaiorc; ‘here it is past 7 o’clock, and crook’d backed Richard not in his dressing room. ‘My dear sir !’ said the most original of all men, the iinpurturable Thomas W. Gardner, do not be precipitate, when the late Daniel Reed ’ ‘And you love me, Hal,‘ interrupted the stage manager, ‘go the devil,’ and then the poor manager chazzeed, as was his wont —with his hands clasped in agony, I from one side of the Holiday street stage ; to the other. ‘Ring in the first music, sir?’ inquired the called boy, who scratched his head and seemed to enjoy the despair of the manager. ‘King*? You redheaded imp of Satan you juvenile Caliban, get out of my sight, or I’ll wring your neck off.” Away went the call boy, and away went the imn isrjr. Ward searched ev ery bar room in the vicinity of the thea tre, for the great tragedian, but all in vain. At last a little boy came running to him, almost breathless with fatigue, and to and him that Mr. B >o h was in a It ty loft in Front street. The manager found a crowd of peop e gathered around the building in question, and he had some difficulty in edging himse.f through tlie dense mass, t'limbing up a rou h lad der, he cautiously raised liis head above the floor ot the second story, and there lie saw the object of his search seated on a rafter, with a wreath of straw about his temples iu imitation of a crown. ‘Booth !’ said the manager imploring ly, ‘lor Heaven’s sake, come down ! It is nearly eight o’clock, and the audience will pull tlie theatre to piecies !’ The - tragedian fixed his dark eye on the intruder, and raising his right arm majestically, lie thundered forth, 1 am seated on my throne 7 A- proud a one as yon distant mountain, Wliere liie sail makes Ids last stand !’ ‘Come, my dear tellow, let’s go ; we’ll have a glass of brandy and a supper, and all that. Gome, please conic.’ Booth descended gracefully from his yellow ftine throne, and kissing the tips of liis fingers replied with a smile, ‘I at tend you with ail becoming grace. Lead on, my lord of Essex. To the tower—to tlie tower.’ After a litllc persuasion, Ward led tlie , tragedian to the theatre, got him dressed, | the curtain rose, and tne play went on. Just as tlie second act was about to com mence, a messenger covered with dust, rushed behind the stage, and lieforo h> e could be stopped, was in earnest couve r sution with the tragedian. ‘What ?’ said Booth as he pressed pj s long fingers on Ins broad, white ten; r,^ s as though lie tried to clutch the bra neath, ‘dead, say you ? My poo' c child -my loved, "my beautiful i OUL . y And then seeing the curtain j ie rushed on, commencing, Tie h.n lie alth to progress fir •.* C ft, rxaev Tuuugh not to boar tiie a.gh, ot 10 c ay Ac.

Still tiie iilUitib lie applauded until j the o and roof rang tig ran, and those belli ;d the scene stood m eat mess with eager de light. The third act ea.ne 011; but Booth was 110 where to» be found 1 * * * l It witt a UitUif eoid night, and tin* f*r mer as he' drove his wagon to market, was start ed from his reverie, as he saw u horseman wraped in a large cloak, which as it opened disc osed a glittering dress beueatn, ride rapidly past him. It was Booth m his Richard costume ! Madness had se.zod him, and regardless ; of every thing, at the stili hour of mid night, he was going to pay a visit to his dead child. Drawing his flashing sword, and throwing his jewelled hat Irom his head, he lasiicd ins horses flaiiK with the bare weapon, until file annual snorted in pain. T.ie tali dark trees on each side of tnui touched his healed Lrow with their silver frosted branches, and thinking they were men sent in pursuit, tut* mud itcloi cut at them with ins sword, and cursed them as lie lied rapidly by. At last, iil'tei a gallant ride of two hours, the horseman came in sight ol a ' country graveyard, and ne saw liie white tops oi tne monuments peeping through tue and irk loliage, like siiovvy crests upon 1 tlie besom ot uio b ack bihow, he raised Ia shout wi.d enough to have scared tne ghosts from their slid graves. He dis mounted, and away sped the rideless horse over lull and date. It was the jvork of u moment, (and tne insane are ciiiitiuig beyond iinrguiiiig) to wrench the wooden door from the vault contain ing tlie body of liis clnid. He seized tlie tiny coffin m his arms, with tlie strong arm of a de perate man he tore open die lid, and in a moment more the cod Hue lips of the child were glued to the mad actor’s ! The next morning some member of the tragedian’s family heard a wild strain of laughter that seemed to proceed from his sleeping room. Tne door was forced open, and Booth was discovered lying on his bed, gibbering in idiotic madness, and caressing tlie corp.se of his little one ! W American Cottons. —The N. York True Sun, of the l lth inst. says, “There seems to be little doubt that we shall soon driven profitable export trade with Eng-’ laud in home manufactured cotton sheet -1 ings and shirtings. Orders from London i for upwards oi a thousand bales of low ' priced cottons have recently been receiv ed in Boston. With China, too. there is ! every prospect oi’ a brisk trade in tlie : same articles. With the materia', co n i paritive y speaking, at our own doors, and all the new improvements in machinery at command, we see no reason why we should not hteak up the monopoly which England and France have so long enjoy ed in supplying tlie Western market with ; cotton fabrics. The difference in wages here and in Europe is not of the same consequence now that it was fifteen years ago. Manual labor lias been, to a great extent superseded by machinery, and all that is to ae done by machinery can he accomplished as cheap.y here as in Eng land—Savannah Ge rgian. Important D cision. —We learn from the, Louisville Journal, that on the 25th nit. the Chancellor of Kentucky, the II in. G o. M. Bibb, decided tlie great case of Until vs. the Bank of die U. States. By a statute of Kentucky whenever a ! debtor makes a fraudulent disposition of| his property, iiis creditor may file a hill in chancery and attach, whether his deb ,t be due or not due. Under that statu’ P Louis Unfit filed his bill and attacl 10 q for about SSM,UUO upon bonds niatu c \ n , r in IS 17.

Atrocious Mubu Kll ._One of the mou painful duties w e ev er p *rf< nnod is now before us—in r the melan choly and tragical murder in this coun ty, oil the Hill ifi tj 0 f Mrs. Mary Ann Chapman, wife o' / Joseph Chapman, and daughter of the 1 i{ , te Col. Barnard John son. The cin niinstance attending this most unfortun: ,f 3 a nd heart-rending oc currence, are thus detai'ed to us by a triend: Duri n or i ie r husband’s absence tro n home, she was by some means en ticed by t! le negroes into a corn-tie and about 150 or 2()() yards from the house, and there murdered by one of them, by means o' a ro p e thrown over neck in a running - noose. Alter being thus strang led, shi , \ Vas carried to the oppo ite side °f l - ie field, dragged over the fence so vi ° l ‘ ntl .y as to leave some of her hair torn out upon the rails; and thence taken son ,<v f,() yards further into a thicket, and thi . body then concealed under the hark ni id rotten pieces of an old log. This r tecurred, it is supposed, between 10 and 11 o’clock in the morning. Mr. Chap man caino home about usual dinner time, and enquiring for Mrs. Chapman, was ! told that she had gone to visit one ol the neighbors, lie consequently experienced but little uneasiness about her absence, : though thinking it a little strange, at the ' same time, that she should ride an ani ' mal of which she had been unusually ; afraid. He awaited her return until dark, when, she not appearing, he order ed his horse and thought he would nde over to Mrs. Newman's, her aunt, whom he had heard her say she intended vwt i lg. Not findingicr there or at any of the neighbor's ho 1 • ; wlure lie went, lie becam • alarmed, suspecting that all was 11 it right. Procuring the assistance of some neighbor;, he arrested three 01 his negroes; search was made that night, and on die following day, when she was found m the situation above stated. Tiie lior.se lie was told she had rode was.also found i:i a thicket about half a mile from the house, with his brains knocked out by a large piece of timber. Mrs. Chapman was in the 23d year of her age, and lias left a husband, two brothers and three small children (the youngest mi infant of G months) to mourn her loss. In this irreparable loss a wide breach has been made in the bosom of her lriends and relatives which time can not efface, or memory forget. , Much excitement, we understand, was i produced by the circumstaiic s, and at a meeting of some 400 or 5(10 citizens, the. question was submitted whether the ne groes should be burnt upon the spot of the murder. Much to their credit, how ever, it was agreed that the law shou.d be permitted to take its cour e, and the negroes were according y committed to jail on Tue. day last. Tire principal in the tragedy says that be killed his for mer master iu another State, and was run oif to tli is. — Sula Tree l J ress.
