..romin? events cast their shadows
before.”
Tlie time is fast approaching, when the
nuestion of the perpetuity of this Union
niust be decided, once arid forever. Politi
cians, whose wretched policy has invited
the deplorable condition in which our coun
try is now placed, may endeavor to stave off
the issue—but there are causes silently at
,yi)rk, which, despite every effort on the
part of the friends of Peace and the Union,
will bring into feaiful collision the antago
nistic principles that now form the grouttd-
noik of parties in this country. We have
watched tho rising of the cloud that threat-
nj destruction to our happy country, with
interest, and not without apprehension.—
\V'e have 9een it swelling from an almost
imperceptible speck on the horizon, until its
anary masses cover the whole face of the
political heavens. We have counselled
„.jlb the friends of the South and the Union,
of the folly, the certain destruction, of an in-
deference to the dangers that menace the
one,and the perils that encompass the other.
]5ut the Southern people, unwilling or fear
ful to distrust the integrity and patriotism of
their Northern brethren, have taken conso
lation in the idea that, “ ’twere belter to
hear the ills wo have, than fly to others that
«c know not off,” they have preferred t,»
fear with their insolence, insults and spo
liation, rather than add a breath to the tem
Mississippi Whi^s backing out.
It seems that the Whigs in this State have
no idea of giving the direction of affairs over
to ‘Union’Democrats.as Georgia whigs have
been pleased to do. They have party pride
yet, which they are not willing to forego, in
order that Democrats may he promoted by
the relinquishment of their old affinities.—
A leading whig paper alluding to the call
for a Convention by a Union Democratic
paper, say«:
Several of our exchanges are urging the arsem
hling ol a Union Convention, to nominate candidates
for G overnor. Congress, Ac. We are opposed to
the Convention so far as we are personally concern
ed. and expect lo stick to the old It'hig landmarks,
and denoinire Conventions. Why, we should lose
half our thnnder by not being able 10 denounce the
Jackson clique,’ as in times past. It won’t do friends.
It is a Lncoloco suggestion, and cbmr.s of taking tie
I.ocos into our church without a thorough conviction ex
cept upon one point, ll'e must remember that ‘cril com

seen such ones do well or stick long to their new pro
fession. Again we say, let’s stick to ottr old land
marks.

WISE TALKING.
We seldom meet with so much glorious truth, spo
ken so briefly, plainly, and with so much genuine
fire, as iu the following paragraph, from Henry A.
W iae. It was nttered in the ConslitutionalConventien,
now in session at Richmond.
Mr. Chilton, of Faquier, a Whig member, had the
temerity to announce the following sentiment ofhis
party:—“ He must hvee an infusion of monarchical and
aristocratic principles, in order to check pure Democra
cy."
Mr. Wise responded as follows:—
‘•He is alraitor to his native land,
A traitor to mankind, who in a cause
That down the cour-eoftime will tire the world.
Rides not upon the lightning of the sky,
To save his country.
I deny here, that there is a particle of aristocracy
or monarchy necessary to the well being or safety,
either of person or property. I deny it. I vindicate

civilization, and live in towns and villages
surrounded by cultivated fields, They
have often in previous years been involved
in hostilities with the British colonists,
caused chiefly by the encroachments and
injustice of the latter.
The Hottentots have not given the Brit
ish Colonists any great trouble as enemies.
They have become completely enslaved;
and although they are not sold in the mar
ket as common slaves, they are bondmen,
fixed to the soil like Russian serfs. Should
there he any general combination of the
Hottentots with the Caffres, the most disas
trous effects to the colony may ensue. The
Caffres are fierce and warlike, and it is
said they can bring one hundred thousand
fighting men into the field.
The British Colonists have receutly giv
en much trouble to the Home Government
by resisting the attempts made to establish a
penal settlement among them. Other cau
ses of disaffection, common to most of the
British colonial possessions, have also been
in existence omong the Cape settlers.—
These circumstances may have had their
effect in tempting the Caffres to commerce
the war which now looks bo threatening.—

At one of tho last balls, which Louis Na- j
poleon attended, we remarked a woman
who was beseiged by a throng of adorers.
She was a stranger, either Saxon, Bavarian
or German.—She had been twice a widow, j
and never once a wife. She married first
an officer of dragoons, who quarreled on his
wedding day, with a captain of hussars, on
the subject of perfecting muskets in the
Prussian service. A duel on the spot en
sued, and the bridegoom was killed.—The
widow next married a lawyer; at the bridal
dejuene, the happy husband swallowed a
cherry stone, which choked him, and he ex
pired between the beautiful bride and a
bottle of Rhenish wine. There are already
many candidates for her favor.
Virginia, the South, and the Compro
mise.—A series of rtosolution9 were submit
ted to the House of Delegates of Virginia
on Thursday, sympathising with South
Carolina, but agreeing to the requirements
of the compromise, and pledging support lo
the Union; also denouncing the late con
duct of Vermont. The resolutions were
offered by Mr. Scott, of Fauquir, and after
an animated debate, have been referred to
a special committee of th'irteen.

Death of John S. Skinner Esq,—We an

three o’clock yesterday afternoon he enter
ed the Baliimoie post office to tiansact
some business, and o i leaving stepped to
wards the side door on North street, but un
fortunately mistook it for the door which
leads to the basement, and opening it hur
riedly, made one step and plunged head
foremost down the flight of steps to the

St. Lonis. March 22d.—The tickets for
Jenny Lind’s first Concert have brought an
average ol five dollars premium. The ex

She will remain here longer than was first
anticipated, and from here will go to Nash

Boston, March 22.— Letters from the
Cape of Good Hope to February 4th, state
that the rebellion which has broken out, has
been, up to the present time, of a more
bloody and feaiful character than any pre-
ceedingone. The whole of the border dis
tricts are abandoned.
The English Governor, Sir Harry Smith,
has proclaimed that it shall be a war of ex
termination, and has sent to the Isle of

Missionary, died December 23d.
It is presumed that the war will not en
danger tho American Missions, alt ho’ the
London YY'esleyan and Scotch Missions
will probably suffer severely.

Johnson was on Friday last elected Gover
nor of Virginia by the legislature nowin

Yet another crevasse has occurred in

Dreadful Tragedy.—The Pittsburg
Post slates that a lady, wife to one of the
most respectable inhabitants of Allegany
County, was killed by her own daughter on
Monday last. The latter is about IS years
of age, and was chastising one of her little
brothers, when tho mother interfered for
its protection, upon which her daughter
stabbed at her with a poker, penetrating
her abdomen, and causing almost instanta
neous death. The parties live within a
few miles of Pittsburg, but the names are
suppressed until the judicial examination
takes place.
A disgraceful Lynching affair was per
petrated at Milvvaukie, recently, upon
the person of a man named Evens.—
He was accused of having stolen $258 from
a hotel in that place. A rope was put
round his neck and he suspended in the air
until nearly dead. The Spectators says
■“there was not a particle of evidence to
-even justify suspicion.”
Gen. Cass and the “Union Party.”—Now, it so
happens (says the St. Louis Times) that Gen. Cass
positively refused to have anything to do with the

A Fanatical Legislature.—The lower
House of the Ohio Legislature, by a vote
of 39 to 20, have adopted a resolution that
the .Senators in Congress be instructed, and
the .Representatives requested, to use all
honofaiile means to obtain an immediate re
peal, modification, or amendment of the
Act of Congress, usually styled the Fugi
tive Slave Law, approved Sept. 18, 1850.—
The affirmative vote is classified thus:—
Whigs 22: Loco Focos 12; Free Soilers 5.
The negative vote stands—Whigs 6; Loco
Focos 13; Free Soilers 1; the last because
the words ’modification or amendment’
were inserted.
We see it stated that Gen. Harney is to
bo placed at the head of the contemplated
movement against the Camanches and
other hostile tribes of Indians in Texas.—

sion.
The Saxon Blood.—Wherever the des
cendants of the Saxon race have gone, have
sailed, or otherwise made their way .even to
the remotest regions of the world, they
have been patient, persevering, never to be
broken in spirit, tie ver to be turned aside
from enterprises on which they have re
solved. In Europe, Asia Africa, America,
the whole world over; in the deseit, in the
forest, or the sea; scorched by a burning |
sun, or frozen l>y ice that never melts; the
Saxon blood remains unchanged. Where
soever that race goes, there law, and indus
try, and safety for life and properly, and
all the great results of steady perseverance,
are certain to arise.—Dickens' Household
Words.
CONSUMPTION.
A modern writer in an article relating
to the frequency of this disease among us,
and its character, says;—
“If there be a disease in this world of
ills, which seems in a peculiar manner to
fit its victim for the fate which human skill
cannot avert, that disease is consumption -
To one who is full of life, and hope, and
joy, the first conviction that it has fastened
its death-grasp upon him, the fearful cer
tainty of its end will flash through him
with a thrill of terror—more, doubtless,
than that of most diseases. Startling it
must be, indeed, to feel, for the first time,
that there is a worm gnawing at one’s vi
tals, whose greedy teeth no human skill
can slay—startling to feel the certainty of
disease within, whose end is surely death
But how soon does tlie spirit grow calm;
and as he feels the disease tugging at his
heart-strings, and his strength wasting away
before it, how calm then, does the soul
plume itself for its upward flight—how
trustingly, then, does it lean upon'the bo
som ofits God—and when flesh and heart
grow faint, and fail, how sweetly sinks to
its final rest, the victim of consumption.
‘So fades a summer cloud away.
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er,
So gently shuts the eye of day.
So dies a wave along the shore.”,
THE COTTON CROP.
A writer in the Apalachicola Commercial Adverti
ser, states that the average production ol cotton for
the last thirteen years has been 2,039:561 bales—for
tlie last ten years 2,119,433 bales, and for the last five
years 2,213.000. The present crop will probably
run up as high as 2,250.000 bales. The average
weight of American bales has been ascertained to
be 4671 lbs . but ihe bales of the present season he
thinks will fall at least 30 pounds below the usual
average. If this be the case the actual deficiency in
weight will be equal to 157,335 bales. In olher
words, the crop will bn nominally 2.250.000 bales,
bnt actually only 2.002,655 bales. This, if correct,
will doubtless make a material difference in the
range of prices for the residue of the season.
[COMMUSICATED.]
Mr. Editor :
I believe it is acknowledged by both political par
ties in Georgia (according to old parly lines,) and
especially bv the Democratic party, that Georgia (as
well as the Southern States generally) is in the most
imminent jeopardy that we have experienced since
the days of the American revolution—hence the im
portance of nominating and electing a man for next
Governor of the State, of tact and talent with expe-
rience.and well skilled in the science of Government,
for ihe office—(without bcingtinctured with the spirit
of self agrandisement) lhat man it occurs to me,is
Ex.Gov C. J. McDonald, or he comes as near it as
any man to be found in lhe State. He served the
people of Georgia (as you know) two terms as Gov
ernor in succession, with much credit to himself and
benefit lo his country, which I presume checked his
aspirations if he ever had any further han to obey
the call of lhe people, and he would now probably
prefer retirement:but if nominated by the contempla
ted Convention, I presume his patriotism would
prompt him lo accept the nomination. Ex. Gov.
Me Donald's experience and availability at the pres
ent cii-is dictates the policy of running him for tho
next gubernatorial chair. MADISON.

A singular w'&ger has been laid in Spain

beat the locomotive on the Madrid and A-

Several horses are lo be employed, and are
to be stationed thus—ajocky and horse at
the Toledo gate of Madrid to ride the first
leagua and deliver a paper to the second,
who is to be in readiness with another
horse to ride another league, and so on.—
It is said that the Duke calculates that each
league may be done in seven minutes, mak

flicted with a consumptive disease, attended with the
usual symptoms of a deep, hollow cough, psin in the
chest, once in a while hemorrhage of the Jungs, to
gether with diarrhoea, debility and emaciation. His
case bad been treated by several physicians without
being much benefited long at a time. Last fall,
whilst very much prostrated, we applied the Burgun
dy jacket, and gave him your Anodyne Cough Drops
as you prescribed; he soon found much relief front
the cough and pain, and continued to improve daily
from the use of the medicines. At the end of six
weeks, he had wonderfully improved, having gained
much strength, could rest well at night, and with only
a slight cough During the winter ha took the medi
cine occasionally, and has continued to mend so much
as to have gained at least thirty pounds by the first

situate on the Ouachita river and Bayous Boeff and

in fertility by any in the Southern States, and are
very thinly settled, owing to the difficulty of

Great Triumph of l>r. Gilbert*
YVe call attention to the letter in our advertising
columns irons Dr. Gilbert. Our readers will remem
ber a pretty violent assault on the Doctor’s profes
sional reputation, published Ia9t spring in the Delta,
in which allusion was made to the Doctor s preten
ded cure of Governor Tucker, the reality of which
was denied. This was abont the on*y serious dem
onstration ever made against the Dr. YY’e are happy
to announce that the Dr. has triumphed|most signally
over this calumny, that be has beaten his enemies,
“horse, foot and dragoon,” conquering them as com
pletely as he does ihe terrible disease with which he
is accustomed to wrestle. Now we can assure our
readersjthat for a dead man, a victim of cancer, Gov.
Tucker is about the liveliest, halest and heartiest gen
tleman we have met with for many a day. He was
in our office yesterday, and showed us die mark of
the cancer which Dr, Gilbert succeeded in entirely
extinguishing some months ago. ‘The Governor will
be in the city for some time, and all unbelievers can

THE SLANDER REFUTED.
New Orleans, February 10, 1851.
Messrs. Editors: About one year since I perform
ed a remarkable cure of cancer on the face of Ex-
Gov. Tucker, of Mississippi. The cure was publish
ed, and the Governor returned home. Some time
after, a letter was received here by Dr. J. B. Ritchie,
formerly of Mississippi, whose office is opposite La
fayette Square, No. 169 St. Charles Street. Through
his agency the letter was published. It stated that
Gov. Tucker was as ill as ever—that the cancer had
returned and was likely to kill him.
The object of my communication is to inform the
