MRS. JONES’ SOLILOQUY.
‘Mercy on us! what a double and twisted
fool I was for marrying a handsome man.
He never finds a spare moment to adorn
trie, because he is all the time adorning him
self. I never could see the necessity of
beauty in a man. For a woman might as
well cut her throat ami he done with it if
she isn’t pr etty; but if a man has a fine well
made figure and is a gentleman in his man
ners, that is enough, provided he neither
squints nor smokes, nor swears, ami knows
enough to hold an umbrella over a lady's
bonnet without giving her all the drip
pings. (A rare masculine accomplish*
ment.)
‘Now my husband, Sam Jones has beauty
enough for a dozen men, and what is more,
he knows it. He 'spends one half of his
time at the glass, and the oilier half in ma-
ing eyes at the women. Couldn’t I he the
death of him? If we go out to walk, every
body says what a handsome fellow! How
came he to marry such a dowdy little wife?
—(That’s pleasant.) I have not a closet in
the house that isn't lumbered with super
fluous rattle traps, checked, striped and pla*
ted pants, double and single vests, of every
color and shape; hoots and pumps without
limit; smoking caps, dressing gowns, revol
ving shirts, with dickeys plaid on one side,
while <>n the other, made for dressing or
travelling, with accommodating bosoms to
suit all emergencies Eau de Cologne, club
Macassar oil, curling tongs, scented shaving
soap, whisker dye, and a score more of fool
eries that I have neither time nor patience to
mention.
I am never sure what the man :s about! it
takes me all my time to look after him, and
then I get awfully humbugged; aud that puts
me in mind to enquire (privately) about
that new ‘club’ he has joined. Don’t
believe a word of it! Clubs don’t meet cv~
cry night in the week Samivel.
‘Next to clubs. I hate widows. They are
the very ! have heard the heathens
called’benighted,’ they’ve sense enough to
burn up the widows when their husbands
die—and that is a step further in civilization
than we have taken. There’s nothing like
’em. If they make up their minds to mar
ly a man it is done. I know one that is ter*
ribly afraid of thunder and lightening, and
every, time a storm came up she would run
into Mr. Smith’s house, (he was a widower,)
and c!asp her little hands and run around,
till the man was half distracted for fear she
CONDITION OF FEMALES IN RUSSIA.
The following sketch will enable our
readers to form some idea of the condition
of the masses iu Russia. From its deta ls
it would seem that the Notorious Haytiau is
only one of a numerous class. We can
scarcely conceive a people so debased as
the Russians and Austrians. Woman-flog
ging appears to be a favorite pastime a-
mong them:
Owing to the enormous demands of the
army; the female population of Russia great
ly exceeds that of the male. Women are of
little value; the bank will only loan money to
male serfs, counting the others as over and
above. We are at a loss for words to des
cribe, without offence, the demoralizing re
sult ol these things. The master—not so
often the lord as the agent or overseer, who
tyrannizes over the wretchtd people—en
slaves his own brother, sells his own sister,
and often his daughters, into a servitude
worse thau death. The lash, the universal
punishment, or stimulant, is not spared to
women. A French gentleman, who was
travelling through Russia, was thrown into
fVRon at Moscow witluvjft a shadow of pre
text. Day after day llio wretched serfs,
whose master sent them to be flogged by the
obliging police, were brought before the
grating of his dungeon, to which lie was
drawn by some irresistible attraction—some
spell of terror. The sights he witnessed
ami the sounds he heard had such an effect
upon his brain that he became neatly idiotic.
One day two young girls, milliners,
scarcely twenty years old, were sent by
their mistress to he flogged. They were lorn
with the lash. They writhed and shtieked
for meicy. At the sight of the bleeding
bodies of these unhappy girls, whose sin
ews wete laid open at each stroke, the
Frenchman could hardly keep himself from
fainting. At length the flogging ceased, but
not until one of the young girls fell, bathed
in blood, and dying, to the earth.
Another traveller in Russia, hearing one
morning the cries of intense suffering from a
number of women who were being flogged,
could not retain his tears. The lady of the
house, finding him in this state, and not un
derstanding that the sight of such torments
could so move him, informed him that it
was entirely from kindness and attention to
a stranger that she had ordered eighty of
of servants flogged for neglecting to gather
wild strawberi ies for his breakfast. The
last instance we can find space to give the
utter disregard for the rights of humanity
in the treatment of the Russian population,
is the forceble carrying off of the young
children. The Ernperor sets the example
and carries off the children of the Poles and
Juwsby .hundreds, in pursuit of a remorse
less policy directed against the two races.—
“The nobles carry off children not only for
pleasure,” says M. Michelet, "but also as a
means of pleasure.”
We will cite as an example, one who
trained up whole troops of dancers, some of
whom he exhibited iu the theatre of Mos
cow, and sold others, at. high prices, to those
who amused themselves with operatic per
formances in their own mansion. We need
not do more to demonstrate the universal
corruption and debasement that pervades
society under the most perfect form of ab
solute government.
How to raise fruit every year,—If rightly
understood, few trees unless absolutely
dead or rotten, need occupy ground with
out yielding a plenteous crop. After a long
and varied series of experiments, I gradual
ly adopted the following mode: as soonasthe
winter has sufficfently disappeared, and be
fore the sap as.'ends, I examine my trees;
every dead bough is looped off; then after
the sap has raised sufficiently to where the
blossoms will be, I cut away all the other
branches leaving none on, and also the ex
tremity of every limb the lower part of which
bears a considerable number of buds thus
concentrating the sap of the tree upon the
maturation of its fruits, and saving what
would be a useless expenditure of strength.
In the quince, apricot and peach trees, this
is very important, as these are very apt to
be too luxuriant in leaves and destitute of

ble. A pig does not plunge into a pool of
muddy water, because he has a fancy for
being ditty, but a cool bath in hot weather,
is essentia! to his comfort, and have it
he will at whatever the cost, 1C mud
is mixed with it that is not his own look
out.
Keep a pig clean—or in other words do
not compel him to live in dirt—and he will
getfut all the faster for it. The experiment
was made of regularly currying a part of a
herd of hogs, and leaving the other part un
curried; the former were found to become
fat rapidly. Independent of this, a farmer
who takes good care of his hogs, in a com
fortable building and yard, would be mo9t
likely to take good care also to feed them
well. But he who thrusts them as outcasts
into a rubbish yard, will hardly take more
pains in feeding; and iiregularity and neg
lect will be the result.
The Presidential election takes place
this year on Tuesday the second day of
November.
What is going to happen.— tn fifty years
more the steam engine will be as old a
notion, and as queer an invention, as the
press Ben Franklin worked is now. In
fifty years, copper plate, lithography, and
other fine engravings, will be multipled
for a mere song, in a beautiful manner,
by the now infantile art of Daguerreotyping.
A passage to Califonia will then be accom
plished in twenty-four hours, by air car
riages and electricty; or perhaps they’ll go
in buckets down Artesian holes, clean
through the earth! The art of agriculture
and horticulture will produce hams ready
roasted, natural pie9, baked with all sorts

LETTER FROM JUDfiE TARPLEY.
Washinoton City, Aug. 28,1852
Messrs. Barkesdale Sp Jones:
Gentlemen : After wandering for ma
ny weeks through the “far North,” and
stopping from time to time at such places
as held out the best prospects for pleasure
and information, I am this far on my way
to the sunny South, the land of my affec
tions, the homu rendered doubly dear by
contrast with tho fashionable, selfish, heart
less crowds with which 1 have mingled.
While here I have made the acquaintance
of the President, who appears to be a quiet,
bland, sweet-tempered, gentlemen, without
any particular points in his character; 1
should say he was an honest man and ac
complished gentleman, and a pleasant com
panion, but wholly unsuited to his present
position. He has not the energy of charac
ter'or the independence in his mode and
habits of thinking and acting, suited to the
chief magistrate of a great nation. His
prime minister is the power behind the
Throne, who does his thinking for hitn; and
whenever an issue arises between them
(as in the fishing question) he succumbs as
in duty bound, to the boldest thinker,
and mightiest intellect of the age, Daniel
Webster. His pronunciaraentos on the
Texas boundry, and the Cuban invasion,
pression of opinion from both whigs and
democrats, and that was opposition to Scott
upon the scores of his being under the con
trol of a set of men whose regard for the
Union is measured by the amount of power
and patronage which may fall to their
share. Rest assured that Vermont and
Rhode Island are the only New England
States that will cast their electoral vote for
Scott, and while Massachusetts will ca9t
her vote for Webster, Maine, New Hamp
shire and Connecticut are certain for
Pierce.
While in Boston I had an opportunity of
witnessing the enthusiasm displayed in be
half of Mr. Webster, and the utter loathing
manifested towards Gen. Scott. The great
Whigs of Massachusetts will either support
Webster, or fold their arm9 in dignified in
difference, and let the State go for the
Democratic ticket.
I traveled throughout the western and
central portions of New York—conversed
with leading politicians of both parties in
every part of the State, and I solemny de
clare that I heard no man of any party speak
upon the subject who did not admit that
the State would go for Pierce by a large
majority. Tho Democratic party is thoi-
oughly united in New York, its organiza
tion is complete and perfect, and every
where from Buffalo to Rouse’s Point, from
Lake Champlain to Long Island, but one
sentiment is expressed. Since the Pitts-
found but little sympathy in the bosom of j b ur g flee soil Convention, the same may
the sage of Marshfield, and as they were
almost the only acta when he has dared to
act upon his own responsibility, so they
were the worst acts of his administration,
and will go down to posterity as a damning
blot upon the political history of the age.
Of all the amusing characters I have met
with since T have been in Washington, none
have contributed so much to my gratifica
tion as Gen. Scott—l had almost said the
whig candidate for the Presidency. I will
take this back, however. As he has been
repudiated by very many of the leading
Whigs, and barely tolerated by those who
are looking with longing eyes to the spoils
of office, it would be more proper to call
him the candidate ofthe office-seeking par
ty, or party made up of all the ism’s from
ravenous whigism.down to spiritual rapping-
ism. But I like the old man, and would not
speak of him disparagingly. He t9 cer
tainly tiie vainest and weakest man I have
met with, but that is his misfortune. His
military fame is part and parcel of the
nation’s treasure, which should be sacredly
cherished, and handed down as an inheri
tance to posterity. Yet with this high ap
preciation of his military fame.it is obvious
to all, that his intellect, habits and modes
of thinking, are wholy unsuited to the
office to which he aspires. He will point
out to you his splended swords, and discount
by the hour upon the services for which
they were awarded; his medals, and tell
you how costly and splended they are, and
by whom bestowed; the potraits and stat
utes that have been taken of him, and tell
you how spirited are the likenesses, how
becoming the position, and how easy the
grace. He will talk to you about war,
battles, Mexico, Canada, Lundy’s Lane
and Chippewa, and you have the delight of
listening to the spirited and interesting ego
tism, of a vain old man, whose whole con-
vetsation is made up of “I, me, and myself.”
But when you approach those great consti
tutional questions upon which depend the
destiny of the nation, those delicate, but
clearly defined relationships existing be
tween the Federal and State Governments,
instead of those collossa! thoughts and lu
minous expositions which fall so gracelully
and impresively from the lips of Webster,
you have the merest commonplace twaddle
made up of thoughts often undigested,* and
sometimes contradictory, and consisting
principally of opinions and prophecies of
twenty year's standing. Mr. Webster nev
er said a truer thing than when he remark
ed that Gen. Scott had “no political antece
dents, and that a Philadelphia Lawyer could
not convict him before a jury ofthe country
of being a Whig” ; and 1 will take the lib
erty of adding, of being anything thing else
than an exceedingly clever, vain, prompous
old soldier, who knows nothing but com
mand, and who, if elected, (which God for
bid,) will make a military President, and
administer the Government upon the prin
ciples applicable to the command of an
army : and yet, the “old man” is so grace
ful in his egotism; so Bradfordonian, (if I
may coin a word) in his manner, that you
cannot help smileing, and ltkeing him in
spite of your contempt for his intellect.
His election, however, would be the great
est calamity which ever befel this country.
He, as Mr. Webster says, he has no politi
cal antecedents, no fixed principles, no ad
ministrative capacity. Seward, Greely and
Sumner would become bis principle ad
visers, and conscience keepers, to think for
him as Webster does for Fillmore, and in
stead of administering the government ac-
ordingtothe principlee of the constitution,
the higher law would become the rule of
action. It is as certain as “the Lord reign-
eth,” that if Scott was elected, and should
attempt to administer the government ac
cording to the views of the clique who now
have him in charge, the Union could not
exist for a month. The South—always
prompt in asserting hor rights, but rather
supine in enforcing them—wonld see at once
the folly of her efforts to maintain her in
stitutions in the Union; and from Maryland
to Florida, but one voice would be beard,
and that voice would sound the death-
knell of the confedetacy. In saying this,
I do not speak my opinions more than I do
the opinions of the best informed men of
both parties at the North; I take great
pleasure in saying that after many weeks
spent in the New England States. I found
the enlightened and educated and patriotic
men of both patties, as warmly devoted to
the principles ofthe Constitution which se
cure to us our domestic institntions, and as
firmly opposed to the doctrines of Seward,
Hale and Co., as in any other portion of the
Union. I do not of course speak of the
fanatics of the Federick Douglass school,
or the politicians who are attempting to
manufacture capital out of which to build
up a party for their own aggrandizement,
but of the great body of the Northern
people who are opposed to slavery in the
abstract, but who recognize our rights un
der the Constitution, and who are willing to
carry outthe provisions ofthe Compromise
in all their amplitude,
I cad id h confess to my own errors in the
estimate which I had formed of those peo
ple, for wherever I have been, from Maine
to New York, l have heard but one ex-
be said of Pennsylvania and Ohio; and now
if the Sonth will only come up in support
of her Constitutional rights with an unbro
ken front, and say to the North, we accept
the olive blanch which you hold out by the
support of a constitutional democrat. Such
an overwhelming victory as awaits us in
November, will be without a precedent in
the history of the country. Fraternal feel- j
ings between the North and the South will j
be restored, and the government will be j
administered in a way to secure our rights,
and perpetuate the Union. Never, since |
the formation of the Constitution, has there •
been an election so important in its results,
as the one now before the people; and never j
since 1S25, has there been a more glorious
certainty of success. My heart warms as |
an American citizen, and my pride of patrio
tism glows with unusual fervor, when I see I
the North, the South, the East and West, 1
all coming up to the support of the great 1
principles of the Constitution, and regard- j
Ie93 of sectional interests—laying their gifts ;
upon the alter of their common country. |
Even the whig party, heretofore the advo- |
cates of constructive powers, of wasteful;
expenditures, and hated monopolies, seem
to be startled by the triumph of faction, and
their great leaders, such men as Webster; !
Curtis, Toombs, Brooke, Gentry, &c. &c., \
will either support the Democratic ticket, '
or remain indifferent to the contest.
I had the pleasure of spending some days
in company with Gen. Pierce, at Rye J
Beach, New Hampshire, and found him
one of the most interesting and fascinating
men whose acquaintance it ha9 been my
good fortune at any time to make. He is
remarkably plain and simple in his habits,
dignified and courteous in his demeanor,
and at the same time one of the most
kind-hearted, unpretending, aud agreeable ,
companions I ever met with. You would
perceive at the first glance that he was a
man of commanding intellect, and of mark
ed character, and as a stranger in any
crowd, he would be pointed out as a man
of distinction. But while he excites your
admiration by his lofty bearing and graceful
elocution, the blandness ofhb manners, the
gentleness of his nature, and that republican
simplicity which charesterises all he does
ful misrepresentations of Irresponsible
Whig editors and reckless Wh ig politicians.
To show you the infamous means resorted
to, in order to defeat the election of Gen.
Pierce, 1 will state tbet two phamphlets
have recently and simultaneously issued
from the office of the National Era, an ab
olition paper in this city, and which were
gotten up under the superintendence of the
Whig Central Committee, one charging
Gen. Pierce with being a freesoiler, inten
ded for circulation at the South, while the
other charges him with being committed to
the interests of slaveholders, intended for
circulation at the North, and at least thirty
thousand of them have been already folded
and enveloped at the public expense, and
franked to their respective destinations.
Now, if honorable men, who stand before
the people and olaim to be battling for the
best interests of the country, can stand such
despicable means to defeat an adversary,
their sense of propriety, not to say of pub
lic decency, must have become very obtuse,
to say the least of it.
Upon the question of Catholic exclusion
in the New Hampshire Constitution, Gen.
Pierce stands fully acquitted. In all his
speeches before the people while a candid
ate for the Convention, he pointed to this
clause in the Constitution, and declared his
determination to have it altered, and in the
Convention he used his best efforts unsuc
cessfully to accomplish it. To show you
how this matter is regarded in his own
State by the Catholics who are familiar with
his efforts to free the Constitution from this
blot, I saw in the hands of a gentleman of
exalted standing in Concord a statement
signed by all the influential Catholics in that
region of country, awarding to Gen. Pierce
the highest merit for his efforts to change
the Constftution in that particular, and I
am within the mark when I state that at
least, three-fourths of the Catholics of New
Hampshire will give him their cordial sup
port. This document was intended for pub
lication, and I presume has been published
before this time, although I have not met
with it. Gen. Pierce himself positively as
serted his unqualified opposition to this
clause in the Constitution, and declared
that he had labored long and earnestly to
have it stricken out. And shall he be held
responsible for what he could not control ?
Only see bow inconsistent the Whigs are.
In one breath they say “Gen. Pierce is an
obscure man. without talents or influence,”
in the next they charge him with a com*<
mantling influence that could alter the Con
stitution of his State at will, and to such
miserable contradictions are they driven, in
order to detract from his exalted standing,
and to debase him in the estimation of his
countrymen. What is to be the character
of the next slander it would be difficult to
conjecture, but that they will be concocted
by wholesile, and disseminated through the
country by a committee whose standing
maxim is that “a lie well stuck to is as
good as the truth,” i9 perfectly certain. But
they had just as well be saying their pray*
ers and repenting of their sins, for the
voice of the people, like the voice of many
thunders, have, in effect, already declared
that the Constitution shall be triumphant,
and the Augean Stall at Washington be
cleansed by the inauguration of Franklin
Pierce, on the 4th of March, 1853.
Our Senators, Messrs. Adams and Brooke,
are true to the interests of the South, and
by their intelligence, application to busi
ness, and correct gentlemanly deportment,
are winning for themselves high reputations,
and are devoting themselves most earnestly
to the interests of their constituents.
The Congressional news you have more
in detail, than I could give in the limits as
signed me, and as the wee small hours are
now creeping in, I must bid you good-uight.
Very respectfully,
C. S. TARPLEY.
THE AGE OF GOLD.
We had thought that the age of gold was
over, and that the age of iron had commen

boat, and the ten thousand different iron
bands now employed to spin, to weave, to

different you may have been towards him never since the day when old Aaron set up
before, he is sure to take you captive, and
make you feel that he is eminently one of
God’s noblest works, “an honest man.”
He possesses an enviable private character
and in all the relations of Son, Husband.
Father and friend, he is “sans peur et sans
reproche." The miserable slander of his
being a drunkard, like that of his being a
the golden calf for Hebrew tribes to fall
down and worship at the sound of timbril,
sackbut.and psaltery, has there been such a
bowing down to, and struggling after tho
glittering gold. The discovery of gold in
California has exerted, and is exerting a
powerful influence upon the destinies of
nations' When gold was first discovered

of intemperence either iD his looks or man-1 sides hundreds of the finest sailing vessels
ners. One thing speaks volumes in his that ever floated on the deep, and to this
praise. I have seldom seen any man so we have to add a great ovei land emigration
admired and beloved by his neighbors as i through our continent, and, more wonder-
Gen. Pierce; and no higher tribute could be : ful than all, Asia—the China of Asia—that
paid to his moral worth, than the respect long self-walled up-land of prejudice and
and love of those who have known him lon
gest and best. I could at this point make a
forcible contrast between the two candi
dates—as Gen. Scott has quarreled with ev
ery subordinate officer of rank under bis
command, and cannot find a solitary mem
ber of his military famly who is willing to
support him for the Presidency; whilst those
who have known Franklin Pierce most in
timately. are his warmest friends, and will
support him in defiance of party decipline.
I laid befnre Gen. Pierce the Southern
Whig version of his New Boston speech,
and asked him to state how far it was cor
rect. He denounced it an infamous false
hood. gotten up by a man so utterly desti
tute of character, that it was considered in
New Hampshire as an act of supereroga
tion to contradict any assertion he might
make. He fully explained the circumstan
ces under which the speech was made,
which of themselves give the lie direct to
the version of Mr. F099. Said Gen. Pierce
—“The sentimeuts attributed to me in that
speech are at war with the declared opin
ions of my whole political life. My object
was to prevent|the election of Atwood, who,
after his nomination, declared himself op
posed to the Fugitive Slave bill, and to
have made the assertions attributed to me
in that speech, would have been to admit
away my own case, and defeat the very ob
ject I bad in view.” No man lives either
North or South of Mason and Dickson’s
line who is more 6ound or reliable for the
South on this question than Franklin Pierce.
Will the Whigs take the testimony of Mr.
Webster on this subject? He said to me—
“Sir, I have known Mr. Pierce from his
boyhood, and he is now my neighbor, and 1
have no hesitation in saying that although
we differ upon many constitutional ques
tions, yet upon the subject of slavery he is
as sound and reliable for the South as was
Mr. Calhoun himself.”
This, coming, as it does, from such a
source, should forevet put to rest the shame-
intense foreign hate, has thrown open her
portals, and thousands have poured out aud
are pouring out of them, braving the dan
gers of the Pacific Oceon to take up their
residence under the sway of the great mod
ern Republic. The gold of California has
also led to the discoveries in Australia, and
thither we now see thousands from the pent
up warehouses and workshops of London,
Manchester, and Glasgow, hurrying on the
wings of the wind to dig and delve for the
attractive metal. How many families have
been broken up, how many homes once
loved, held sacred and revered have been
forsaken, all for the love of gold. We can
not yet tell what the effect of the gold dis
coveries will be, socially, upon mankind ;
the world is now excitingly working away
at some great problem of its fate. What
the effect of California will be upon Asia,
what that of Asia upon America and the
rest of mankind, we cannot now determine,
the future alone will reveal the result; but
the working of the problem is worth the
study of the sage and philosopher. There
seems to be no end to the quantity of gold;
the wise men of the East—the European
philosophers we jTmean—who predicted s
speedy exhaustion of the goldeu sands,
have turned out to be but indifferent proph
ets. During the short period of the last
fifteen days of July, no less than $2,775,-
889 of gold dust left California for the At
lantic States. In Australia the produce
seem9 to be nearly as great; gold is begin
ning to be counted by tons, and we suppose
the old penny weight will soon have to be
blotted out from the table of golden
weights altogether. Surely this is the age
of gold.
Gold Diggings in Australia.—The New
Yoik papers state, that a letter from a young
man to his brother in New York, dated Fort
Philip; March 14. states, that iu five weeks
time, he had himself dug gold to the value
of £3000 sterling, or oearly $15,000.
