WOLFE'S CELEBRATED
8CHIRUAJI A BOJI.tTIl! gCHIVAPPS.
A Medicinal Diet Drink, of eminently salutary quali
ties, manufactured fcy himself exclusively, at his facto
ry at Schiedam, in Holland.
It is made from the best barley that can lie selected
in Enr<>|>e. with the esseuee of an aromatic Italian ber
ry of acknowledged and extraordinary medical propel'
ties. It has long since acquired a higher reputa
tion. both in Europe and America, than any other diu
retic Iteveragc.
In Gravel, Gout, audKlicumatism, in Obstructions of
t o Bladder and Kidneys, and in general Debilities, its
eff'sete are prompt, decided, und invariably reliable.—
And its Is not only a remedy for these maladies, bet, in
all eases in which they are produced by drinking bud
water, which is almost universally the cause of them, it
operates ns a surepreventive.
The distressing effect upon the stomach, bowelsand
bladder, of travelers, or new residents, and all persons
unaccustomed to them, produced by the waters of
nearly all our great inland rivers, like the Ohio, Miss
issippi, nnd Alabama, from the large quantity of de
cayed vegetable matter contained in them, in a state
of solution, is well known, as also that of the waters
of limestone regions, producing Gravel, Calculi, and
Stone in the Bladder. The Aromatic Schiedam
Schnapts is an absolute corrective of these injurious
properties of bad water, aud consequently prevents
the diseases which they occasion. It is also found to
be a cure and preventive of Fever nnd Ague, a com
plaint caused by thy conjoint effect of vegetable mala
ria in the atmosphere, and vegatable prutescences in-
thc waters of those districts in which it principally pre
vails. The Aromatic Sciedam Schxpps is conse
quently in great demand by persons traveling, or about
to settle in those parts of the country, especially, as
well as by many in every community where it baa be
come known, on account of its various other remedial
properties.
in all cases of a Dropsical tendency it is generally
the only remedy required, when adopred in the early
stages of the disease. In Dyspepsia maladies, when
taken in proper quantities, as a diet drink, and espe
cially at dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to
be eminently efficacious in the most obstinate eases,
when even the best of the usual remedies have failed
f 0 than temporary relief. In cases of Fla
tulencv, it is an immediate and invariable specific;
and it may be administered in diluted aud proportion
ate quantity * *v.i . • ung infants,in all those pa-
roxvsms of griping pain in the stomach and bowels to
which they arc especially subject, as well as in the colic
of grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the principal
meals, or when a sense of exhaustion dictates its use,
never fails to relieve the debility attendant upon pro
tracted chronic maladies, low temperament, and ex
hausted vital energy, by whatever cause induced.
These are facts to which many of the most eminent
medical men botfi in Europe aud tl;e t ubed States,
have borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
their highest written authorities.

Inti-Bank Meeting in M bit field.
At a large, spirited and enthusiastic meeting of
the citizens -of Whitfield county, irrespective oi
party, or party affiliation, held this day at the
court house in Daltou, to consider the propriety
of Governor Brown’s veto message, on motion
Judge Win Hammond, was called to the Chair,
and Robert Q. Sterns requested to act as Secreta
ry. Judge Hommond on taking the chair very
briefly, but appropriately explained the object of
the meeting, when on motion o( W. H. Stanscl
Esq., a committee of five was appointed by tb
chair, to report matter for the action of the meet
ing, as follows: to-wit W. H. Stansel, Ch’m.,
C. B. Wefborn, Wm. J. Underwood, Dr. B B.
Brown, and Rev. John M, Richardson. Maj. Tali
aterro, our Representative, was then called for
who responded in a few sensible, practical aud
satisfactory remarks, during the absence of the
commitee; when our worthy friend, Dawson A.
Walker, from Spring Place, responded very ap
propriately, but briefly to a call of his fellow-citi
zens. fully sustaining the position taken by Gov
ernor Brown,„nd co-operating heartily with the
meeting, assuming that the occasion which called
us together was one above party consideration
Col. J A. W. Johnson then made some practical
remarks, in response to a call, when the com
mittee, through the chairman, made the following
report, to-wit:
Wheicas, the Legislature, at its late session
passed a bill legalizing the various bank suspeu
sions in this State, to which Gov- Brown, our
Executive, with Jackson firmness appended his ve
to, and whereas the General Assembly subse
quently^}- a constitutional majority passed said
bill over the Governor’s head, and it is now the
law of the land, in spite of our sterliug, watchful
Executive, Cherokee’s chosen une, who has at all
times, and under all circumstances, shown him
self to be the friend of the people, when their
rights ate threatened by monied co-operations. Be
it therefore,
Resolved 1st. That the people of Whitfield
irrespective of p&uy, heartily approve the princi
pies set forth in Governor Brown’s message veto
ing the bill passed by the recent session of the
Legislature, legalizing the general bauk suspen
sion.
Resolved 2d. That we not only approve the
principles set forth in said message, but as hearti
ly approve with the same unanimity, the act of ap
plying the veto to said bill.
Resolved 3rd. That we recognize in said mes
sage, the true democratic doctrine of the Jack-
son school, of equal paivileges to all, exclusive
privileges to none, thereby placing the monied
corporations upon the same footing with the hum
blest debtor in the land.
Resolved 4th. That onr Senator and Represen
tative hereby have, (as they are entitled,) our uu-
quallifiied approbation, for the manly firmness,
with which they sustained the Governor by their
votes in opposing said bill.
Resolved 5th. That we recomend, and earnestly,
request the people in every county in the State
friendly to the principles promulgated in said mes
sage, to hold similar meetings, to vindicate and
sustain the man who has dared to lay hands upon
the monster, and strangle it in its birth, throwing
himself in the breach, between monied corporations
and tbe dearest rights of the people.

CHAPTER I.
' The astrologer’s fttEDioTtdS.
Reading, a few weeks since, one ofDe Quin-
cer’s papers—“Three Memorable Murders,”—
recalled to my mind the strange circumstances of
one of the most mysterious domestic dramas that
ever taxed the ingenuity of man, or required the
flight of time to develop.
The locality of our story lies amid one of the
wildest aud most picturesque regions of the Old
Dominion, where tbe head waters of the Rap
pahannock wash the base of the Blue Ridge.
The precise spot—Urosslaud—is a sublime and
beautiful scene, where two forest-crowned ranges
of mountains cross each other at oblique angles.
At the interacting point of these ridges nestles
a little hamlet, from its elevated position, Alta-
mont.
At the period at which our story opens the four
estates, in the four angles of theirregular moun
tain cross, were owned as follows: .
The eastern farm, called Piedmont, was the life
property of Madam Auderly, a Virginian lady of
the old school.
The western and most valuable estate was the
inheritance of Honora Panic, an orphan heiress,
granddaughter and ward of Madame Auderly.
The northern and smallest one, called from be
ing the deepest vale oftlie four—Hawe’s Hole—was
the property of old Hugh Hawn, a widower of
gloomy temper* parsimonious habits, aud almost
fabulous wealth.
The southern farm—named, from the extrava
gant cost of she elegant mansion-house, elaborate
out-buildings, and highly ornamented grounds,
which had absorbed the mentis of the late owner’
“Farquier’s Folly”—was the heavily-mortgaged
patrimony of Godfrey Farquier Dulanie, the grand
son of Hugh Hawe, and now a young aspirant
for legal honors at the University of Virginia.
But little benefit to the heir was to he hoped from
the inheritance of his father’s burthend property.
In tiie first place old Hugh Hawe had bought up
in his own name all the claims against the estate
of Farquier’s Folly—doubtless to prevent a fore
closure, and to save the properry for his grand
son.
But, unhappily, Godfrey had mortally offended
the despotic old man by declining an agricultural
life, and persisting in the study of a profession—a
course that has resulted in his own disinherit
ance
To make this punishment more bitter to his
grandson, the old man had taken into favor his
nephew Dr., Htxiry Hawe, whom he had estab
lished near himself at Farquier’s Folly.
A t this time, the disinherited heir, having finish
ed a term at the University had come down to
spend a part of his vacation in his native place.
It was upon the Saturday evening of his arrival
he found the little hotel, and, indeed, the whole
village of Alatmont, in a great state of excitement,
from the fact that the celebrated heiress, Miss
Honora Paule, had just stopped there, and passed
through on her way home.
Those who hpd been so happy as to catch a
glimps of her face, vied with each other in praise
of Iter many charms, while those who had not,
^ HP „ listned with eagerness, and looked forward to iu-

ing briefly, but very feelingly, giving expression
of his gratitude to his constituents, for their ap
probation of his stewardship, as evinced in the re
port of the commitee just adopted, on motion of

meeting were ordered to he published in the

If Q. Sterns, Sec’ty.
The man who thinks his wife, his baby
his house, his horse, and himselfunequaled
is almost sure to be a good-humored per
son.
He ought to be. Horace thought the
house and the wife (Jomm et placens uxor)
were enough to make a man happy. The
lucky fellow* who adds to these a horse, a
baby to ride it, should be tbe best humored
man in the world—that is, if bay aud pro
visions are reasonably cheap.
They must have a remarkable warm

HollowayV Pills have been placed, by the common
consent of mankind, at tin* heap of eternal remedies.—
To sav that in warm elnnatse they save thousands
upon thousands of peisons annually, from falling a
sacrifice to dyspepsia, dysentery, diarrhoea, constipa
tion, Iirer complaint, general debility, remittent fever,
etc., is simply to relate a fact attested by clouds of wit
nesses. No sufferer from scorbutic affections, has ever
failed to experier.ee relief from them, and they are
<runrrauteed to cure chronic diseases of the internal or
gans. which have previously baffled the skill of the
most successful prael loners.
JJyspesia Cured by using the Oxygen

Dr. Preston.—Dim Sir: For the last four years I
iiuve been, ns you are well aware, n great sufferer with
Dy spepsia. Frequently during that time,I have been
• oinpclii <1 to quit my business, and the disease imd he
roine so seated that I had given np nil hopes of ever
obtaining any' relief. The most simple food caused

I had given up in despair, until you strongly recom

full of gratitude,that I now pronounce myself wholly free
from all symptoms of Dyspepsia. lean eat any tiling
at any time, sleep well, and can now enjoy the balmy

be suffering from Dyspepsia, I would say, “.use the
Oxygenated Bitters.

truth. I never sold any medicine for Dyspepsia, that
has given so universal satisfaction as the Oxygenated

Friend Davis:—Although a stranger to you, {Jake
the liberty of addressingu few lines to you, for the pur
pose of Keying a few words iu favor of your ini’akuible
medicine. I have used your Puin Killer for a number
of years, and for bowel complaint uud burns, and
in fact for pains of all kinds, I think it pre-eminent.
Before I became acquainted with your medicine, I hud
a violent attack oi dysentery, which reduced me very
low, in fact my friends thought I could not survive, hut
by the treatment of a Botanic Physician, the best reme
dy I then know, I recovered. Since then, I have had
several attacks, one very violent, about four years
ago. I was attacked at 3 o’clock in the morning, end
at sunrise, I was not able to get off my bed I sent and
got'a twenty-five cent bottle of yourPnin Killer, which
I commenced taking, necording to directions, and .at
six o’clock in the evening my bowls were regular, and
I was up and moving about, although some-whnt weak.
1 would recommend to all simaliarlv afflicted, to avail
themselves of your invaluable medicine.
I am sir, yours’ respectfully.
ELMER WILLIAMS.
In justice to Davis’ Pain Killer, I must sny that I
never sold an article which gave such universal satis-
next morning.
The nextjday, Godfrey Dulanie attended church
where lie saw* and fell in love with the most
beautiful and intellectual-looking girl he ever be
held. From cheapness and simplicity of her attire,he
supposed her to he some poor dependent of
Madame Attderly’s, in whose pew she sat. God
frey was completely captivated, and he resolved at
once to woo, aud, if possible, win this lovely being
lor his wife, poor girl though she was, He was
glad she was poor, because she could for that rea
son be more easily won Iiut onaccompanyingMr
Willoughby, the clergyman, and his hr. ther-in-
law, Ernest Heine, home after church, what was
his astonishment, and dismay at being introduced
’ to the supposed “poor girl” whom lie found to he
no other than the celebrated Miss Honora Paule,
the greatest heiress and belle, as well as the best
and noblest girl, in the State of Virginia. She
greeted him cordially, and iu a few minutes the.
company were busily engaged in conversation.
The topic of “capital punishment” having been
started. Godfrey turned *o Honora, and said:
I take an especial personal interest in having
capital punishment abolished—Miss Paule, do you
believe in astrology?”
Honora started, fixed her eyes intently upon the
questioner, and then withdrawing them an-
swerd—
“Sir, why did you ask me if I believe iu astrolo
gy?”
“Because, Miss Paule’ I was about to relate for
your amusement a prediction that was made con
cerning myself, by a professor of that black art.”
“A prediction,” exclaimed Mrs. Willoughby,
draw ing near, with eager interest.
“Yes, madant,” replied Mr. Dnlanic^siuiling, “a
prediction which, if I believed, would certainly
dispose me to favor the abolishment of the death
penalty. Three years since, while I was sojourn
ing for a short time in the city of Richmond, on
my way to the University, I chanced to hear of
the Egyptian Dervis, Achabad, who was at that
time creating quite a sensation in the city. His
wonderful reputation was the theme of every
tongue.
“Idleness and curosity combined to lead me to
his rooms. He required a night to cast my
horoscope. He demanded, and I gave him the day
aud hour of my* birth, aud then’I took leave, with
the promise to return iu the morning. The next
day I went—”
# “ Well?” questioned Tlonbra, earnestly.
“My horoscope was a HoRUOR-scope indeed! It
predicted for me—a short and stormy life, aud a
sharp and sudden death.”
‘Good Heaven! But—the details?”
“It prophesied four remarkable events, the first
of which lias already come to pass.”
.‘,And that was—7”
** The loss of my patrimonial estatp!”
“Singular coincidence!” interruped Mr. Wil
loughby, as he arose and joined his wife and bro
ther-in-law at the other end of the room.
“I thought so when the prophecy was fulfilled,”
replied Godfrey.
“And the other three events?” softly inquired
Honora.
“The other three .events, if they follow as pre
dicted must happen within the next two years, or
before I reach my twenty-fifth anniversary. The
first of these is to be the unexpected inheritance
of vast wealth.”
Upon hearing this, a bright smile played around
the lips of Honora. and banished the clouds from
her brow. She waited a few minutes for him to pro-
hut finding that lie continued silent, site
said—
“Well, Mr Dulanie, go on! what was the third
predicted event?”
“Do you command me to inform you?”
“No, sir; I begyou, of your courtesy, to do so.”
“Very well,” he said, dropping his voice to a
low undertone, “It was to be my marriage with
the woman I should worship.”
A deep vivid biush supplanted the bright smile
that quivered over Honora's variable face. There
was a pause, broken at length by her voice, as she
gently inquired—
“And the fourth?”
The answer came reluctantly, and in tones so
low as to meet only her ear.
“The fourth and last prediction was, that before
my ticcnty-Jiflh birth-day I should perish on the scaf
fold. ’,
A low cry broke from tits lips of Ilondra as her
hands flew up and covered her face. After a
minute or two she dropped them, and looking him
steadily in the face, said with quiet firmness—
“You doubtless wonder at my emotion. Now
hear me. On tho autumn following the summer
in which that prediction was made to you, 1 was
in Baltimore with my grandmother, and with Mrs.
Willoughby, who was then Miss Heine. Curiosi
ty took us to the ftiorns of the Egyptian who was
then practicing iu that city. And alter some such
preparations as he had used iu your case, he cast
my horoscope aud read my future. It was this,
that before my twentieth birthday, I should be a
bride, but never a wife, for that the fated form of
the senfold a r osc between the nuptial benediction and
the lirulal chamber. .Such were the words of the
prophecy.” She spoke with a solemnity that
seemed to overshadow every other feeling.
\ Lticif# thfc auspices of ftiss Rose Auderly, they
I wen- inst about to form what she called a Sybil s
1 Gircl.. for which purpose, Messrs. Heine and
“re: ue were dispatched to bring forward a round
tab; - Miss. Rose went to a cabinet to seek the
“Sybil s Leaves,” which she presently produced
All then seated themselves around the table.
A dead silence reigned. Rose, shuffled the
cards, turned them with their faces down, and
then, addressing her right-band neighbor, Mr.
Sterne, iu a low voice, she demanded—
“ What would yon with the Sybil?”
“ I would know the future partner of my life,’,
was the formal answer.
“ Draw!”
The young man hesitated for a while, smiled,
and, rejecting all those cards that were nearest him
self, put his hand under the pack, and withdrew
the lowest one.
“ Read.'” he said, extending the card to the
Sybil.
“Hear!” she exclaimed:
“A widow, beautiful as light,
’Twill be your lot to wed—
With a rich jointur, which shall pour
Its blessings on your bead.’”
There was a general clapping of hands, and
shunts of laughter.
It was now Miss Jessfe's turn to test her fate.
Being a young lady, she would not put the ques
tion in tiie usual form, but merely inquired what
should be her future fate. The answer drawn
was—
‘“To dandle fools and chronicle small beer.’”
a reply that nearly extinguished Miss Jessie for
the evening.
‘ I declare, if here is not Mr. Hugh Hawe!” ex
claimed the lively Lily, as the old miser sauntered
deliberately to the table, and stood looking with
indolent curiosity npon the game of the young peo
ple. “Come, Mr. Hawe! I declare, you shall have
your fortune told!”
“Well, well—the commands of young ladies
are not to be disobeyed,” replied the old man, gal
lantly, as he extended his hand and drew a card,
which he passed to theSybi).
Amid a profound silence, and in a solemn voice,
she read—
‘“Thy fate looms full of horror! From false friends,
Near at hand, perdition threatens thee!—
A foarlui sign stands in thy bouse of life!—
An enemy—a fiend lurks close behind
T he radiance of thy planet.—Oh, be warned!'”
“Pshaw! what serious mockery!” exclaimed the
old man, scornfully, as he turned away, and gave
place to his nephew, who had all the while been
posted behind him, peeping over his shoulder.
“Will you permit me to test my fortune?” in
quired the “fascinating” Dr. Hawe.
‘‘And what would you with the Sybil?’* was
the response.
“I would know- the future.”
“Draw!” said the Sybil, in a tone of assumed
sternness.
Smiling his graceful but most sinister smile, the
doctor drew a card, and passed it to the reader.
“Hear! ’ said the latter, lifting the table of fate,
and reading—
‘“//.note thee'.—thou fcarest the solemn night!
\\ ith her piercing stars, and her deep winds’ might!
1 here s a tone iu her voice thou fain wouldstshun,
I or it aske what the secret soul hath done!
And thou!— there’s a weight on thine!—away!—
Back tQ thy home and pray!”’
“Look! I declare how pale the doctor has grown!”
exclaimed tiie flippant Jessie “One would really
think, to look at him, that a deep remorse for some
unacted crime’ preyed ou him.”
Nonsense! Jugglery!” said the latter, turn
ing away to conceal his agitation.
The eyes of Honora i’aule followed him with
the deepest interests—there was that upon his
brow that she had never seen before.
The next in turn was Agnes, Turning to her.
Rose said:
“What seek you in the magic circle, lady/’’
“My destiny.” answered the luscious tones.
“Invoke the knowledge!”
Agnes drew a tablet, ami passed it, as usual, to
the Sybil, who read—
“‘Oil, ask me not to speak thy fate!
Oh, tempt me not to tell
The doom shall make thee desolate,
The wrong thou mayst not quell!
Atrny! Airay!—for death would be
Even as a merry unto thee'.'"
Agues shuddered, aud covered her face with her
hands.
“Put up the tablets! They are grow ing fatal!”
said Rose.
“Not for the world!—now that each word is
fate! There is a couple yet to be disposed of! Miss
Paule, draw near!” said Mr. Heine.
The cheek of i ionora Panic changed: yet striv
ing with a feeling that she felt to be unworthy,
she smiled, reached forth her baud, drew a tablet,
aud passed it to the Sybil, who, in an affective
voice, read—
“‘But how is this? A dream is on my soul!
I see a bride—all crowned with flowers, aud smiling,
As in delighted visions, on the brink
Of a dread chasm—and thou art she!”’
Honora heard in silence, remembering the
strange correspondence of these lines with the pre
diction of tiie astrologer, made long ago, endeav
oring to convince herself that it was mere conei-
donee, and vainly trying to subdue the foreboding
of her heart.
“Mr. Dulanie!” said Rose, shuffling the tablets,
and passing them to him.
He drew a card, and returned it to be perused.
The Sybil took it, and a thrill of surpersitious
terror shook her frame as she read—
“ * Disgrace and ill,
And shameful death art near!' ”
An irrepressible low cry broke from the pallid
lips of Honora. “Throw up the cards!” she said:
“It is wicked, this tampering with the mysteries of
the future!”

“You cau't go in there!” shouted the landlady
as Rachel was making her way towards the par
lor. “Mine is a respectable house; I allow no
females beyoud the bar.”
“But I am Mr. Hoffman’s wife.”
“So they all say,” answered the woman, with a
sneer.
There was a coarse, mocking laugh from the
crowd of half drunken wretches standing near.
The eyes of Richard flashed angrily; but tbe voice
and still more, tbe imploring look of his mother
restrained him.
“Let us return home,” she said in a despair
ing tone. “I feel faint and sick at heart.”
And leaning on the arm of her sou, the unhap
py wife tottered rather than walked irom the
place.
The keen, frosty air partially restored her
strength and Rachel proceeded with her children
till she reached the thoroughfare lending through
St. Margaret's church yard; towards the Almonry,
when a faint moan front Mary, whom she still
carried iu her anus, arrested her steps. She placed
her hand under the thin faded shawl which cover
ed fo r; the child was cold as ice, and shivering, as
if seized with an ague tit.
“She is dying!” groan’ed the terror-stricken pa
rent, dying for want of fooiE”
The heart of her boy could endure no more—it
was breaking. The cup of misery and endurance
hud been tilled to overflowing. His brains was
on tire—tears could not quench it.
"Take her home mother!” he cried—“take her
home! never fear but I will bring you food! Mary
shan't die! PU beg—beg,” he added: anything to
save her!”
“Richard! Richard! do not leave me!” shrieked
his agonized parent. “Let me not lose both my
children! if you love your mother, return for pity’s
sake return!”
The appeal came too late. Her son, stung,
maddened beyond endurance by the sufferings ot
those so dear to him, had broken from her feeble
grasp, darted down the thoroughfare, aud was
already beyond the reach of her voice.
Rachel clung to the railings of the churchyard
for support, till a second moan, still fainter than
the first, sent a pangjtbrough her maternal breast.
“She must not die in the street!”| niurrnered
Rachel. “Home—home! if I have strength to’
reach it.”
“Oh God!” she cried with a sudden burst of an
guish, "protect my boy! Shield him from crime;
guard him against vices and tho hideous snares
which in a thousand forms assail unfriended youth
or take him,” she added solemnly, “take him in
Thy mercy.”
It was a Christian’s prayer wrung from a moth
er’s heart uttered iu faith, in agony, in tears; and
angels boro it to the mercy-seat ou high.
Clasping her perishing child yet closer to her
aching bosom, the druukards wite^liastened home.
As Richard Hoffman rushed along the street,
scarce knowing whither he went, and only intent
on the one idea of gutting, by some means, Jfood
for his famished motherand sister, he was hailed
by Jack Manders, an. impih acquaintance who
lived near Richard’s home, and to whom lie told
the desperate state in which he had left those so
dear to him. Jack listened with much interest
aud at once proposed to Richard to help him to
pickfthe pocket of an old gentleman who was star
ing into a window on the opposite side of the
street. Richard refused with honor, although
Jack urged the necessity of at once geting some
thing to save the life of his motherand little Ma
ry. Jack then undertook the business alone, and
just as lie had relieved the old gentleman of his
pocket-book, a policeman sprang from a doorway
to arest him; but Jack made good his escape. Not
so Richard, w ho was at once, seized by the police
man as an accomplice of the escaped pick-pock
et.
“I am no thief, sir,” cried Richard breaking
from the strong grasp that held him, and throwing
himself at the feet of the old gentleman, who had
just come to the spot, “though poverty and hunger
tempted to me to become one. My mother aud
sister are starving.”

Richard Hoffman.
A TALE OE LOVE AND RETRIBUTION.
Rachel Bently, the lovely daughter of one of
the richest merchants of London, having married
George Huffman., one of her father’s .clerks, during
the old man's absence iu India, he ou his return
disinherited her and discharged George. The
, latter being overwhelmed by disappointment, took
I to drink, and iu a lew years became a habitual
drunkard; his wife supporting jjerself and two
children—Richard, now a line boy iu his thir-
‘ teeuthyear, and Mary, a sweet child of six—by
selling, one alter another, the remnants of her
once costly w ardrobe and jewelry.
On the last day of December of the year in
which our story opens, Rachel was without food
light or tire aud that very day the rent must fo
paid.
Little Mary was moaning for bread, aud crying
with cold.
The drunken father was at the dram-shop.
The agonized mother had but one more article
of value lelt—a locket containing a lock of her
father’s hair (she hoped to be able to save this
tbe last memento of her ouce lia.ppy home. But
goaded by little Mary’s cries for food she seized
the locket, rushed to a pawnbroker’s, obtained
a few shillings, put by tbe amount of the rent and
with the rest purchased a little bread and milk
for her cluldruu, and then set out, with them, to
visit the old confidential clerk of her father. Peter
Mangles, who had ever beeu kind to her, to con
suit him about sending Richard away from the
contaminating influences with which he was sur
rounded.
On returning home late.on New-Y’ear's eve from
her fruitless visit, lor the old clerk was not at
home, Rachel discovered that her husband had
beeu at home, aud stolen the sum she had put by
for the rent from the place where she had con
cealed it, and gone off again to ■‘•The Crown
and Magpie” tavern to wast it in drunkenness.
Little Mary, chilled and hungry, began to xry for
food, and (he suffering molher, iu hopes of re
gaining a portion of money taken by her husband,
set out with her children to the haunt of vice
whither George Hoffman had gone.
There was a great crowd at the liar of “The
Crown and Magpie.” The landlady—a stout,
vulgar-looking woman with red ribbons in her
cap a profusion of fals cu ‘Is, a heavy gold chain
round her tneck, and numerous-rings Sun.her fat
fingers was busily engaged jn pouring out gin for
her customers; tbe regular ones she wos treating
for it must not be forgotten that it was New-Year’*
eve.
Such was the scene of viee and dissipation which
met the eye and sickened the heart of Rachel
when, with little Marv iu her arms, and protcct-
td by the presence of tier son, she ventured into
foe house.
“Is Mr. Hoffman here 1” she inquired faint-
•y.
The question had to be repeated several times
•efore she eould g-1 an answer;

The Latest Scics from the Utah Expedition—Ad.
ditional from Salt Lake City.
Leavenworth City, K. T. Jan. 5,1858.
Two men have just arrived here from our army
in Utah; they are the Messrs. Rope and Moreiiead,
agents lor Russell Ac. Weddell. They left the
army on the 4th of December; it was then at Fort
Bridger, in Utah, thirty miles beyond Ham’s Lork,
380 miles from Fort Laramie and 113 miles from
Great Salt Lake City. The army was iu fine
spirits and good condition. The report brought
by the nine men who arrived several days ago was
incorrect aud exaggerated. At the time they left
the army the cattle were dying oil’ very rapidly;
perhaps from fifty to tw o hundred a night and the
troops had been on partial rations in some articles
for a short period, and are indeed at present. The
Mormons were also troubling them some; but
since the army has got to its Winter quarters, and
arianged its internal affairs, everything is in bet
ter condition.
The troops think they will be able to Winter all
tin; cattle that have reached Fort Bridger. Only
four trains were left at Fort Laramie instead of
twelve, as previously believed; so the army has
with it eleven trains notwithstanding the loss of
three. This Lsgood news, as it shows there is an
ample supply of provisions with the army to last
jt during the Winter. The three trains destroyed
consisted mainly of tents, cloths and camp
equipage. Tiie troops are in want of nothing but
baron aud salt. Four companies have been
formed out ot the teamsters, and the army, includ
ing them, is said to be over 2,U0(i strong. The
troops intend to Winter at Fort Bridger. The
Mormons have not molested them since they ar
rived there.
On the 2d of December six Mormons arrived at
Fort Bridger, with a communication from Brig
ham Young to Col. Johnston, also a load of salt
for the army. Whether the letter was received
or not by the Colonel, Messrs. Rupe and More-
head do not kuo.w, but the salt was not received,
and the Mormons were ordered to leave the camp
with it they were also informed that if they came
to the fort again without a flag they would be tired
upon. The army left Ham’s Fork on the morn
ing of the 6th November, aud marched to Black’s
Forks—a distance of about sixteen miles. On
that day the first heayy suoiv storm uf the sea
son commenced; n lasted several days, and dur
iug its continuance tiie Mucinous ran otf several
hundred head of cattle belonging to different
trains. The troops and part of the trains arrived
at Fsrt Bridger on the 17th of November: only
one-third of the trains w.ere able to get up at a
time, the loss of cattle was so great. All the
supply trains reached Fort Bridgex/of the 22d of
November. They were all unloaded and the pro
visions stored for the Winter by the 27th of No
vember.
The four ladies with the army are in good
health and fine spirits. The Governor and Sec
retary were at the fort, and intended to hold a
court there iu a few days for tbe trial of such
cases as might, be presented to them. The
weather was very fine when these gentlemen left;
there was no snow ou the ground: the ttmpera
ture was warm and agreeable. After leaving, on
the 4th ult, they traveled along on mules very
pleasantly till Lhey arrived at South Pass, where
they found the snow very deep, hying on an ave
rage three or four feet, while in some places it
was twelve feet. This condition of the roads
continued over the Rocky Bridge,, to Sweet
water, a distance of from 35 to 40 miles. They
were three days making that distance. Between
Sweetwater and Fort Laramie the roads were
good; there was no snow ou the ground except
what little fell in two slight snow storms through
which they passed. On tho 16foof December
they arrived at Fort Laramie: on Christmas they
made Ash Hollow, Geu. Harney's battle ground;
ou the 30th reached Fort Kearny, and arrived
here this morning. The roads from Forts Lara
mie and Kearny are in fine condition. At sweet-
water they overtook tiie United States mail, and
traveled with it to Ash Hollow; there they passed it;
it will, however, reach here iu a few day. All the
Indians on tbe road were friendly aad seemed
anxious to he considered so.
The army had no salt at aM. Captain Marcy
and his company had gone down into Mexico for
salt aud animals to moye the Rains with in the
Spring. Tim Goodall acted as guide for them;
they left ou the 2dth November. Messrs. Rupe
and Morehead met twenty-jive mules, packed
with salt, 175 miles beyond Fort Laromie, w hich
supply must have reached Fort Bridger before this
time.
The army will remain in its present pesition
during the Winter w ithout much, if any, sutlering.
The w ant of salt is tho only thing that will be felt
severely. There was no anticipation of the Mor
mons attacking the atmy, or iff' their retreating iu
the Spring without fighting. The army, of course,
will not attempt to enter Salt Lake City till they
are largely le-enforoed.
Tiie Los Angales Star of Dec. 8fo gives some
very interesting facts from the Mormon country,
communicated by Mr. Bell, who left Salt Lake
City on the 6th November. The Star says:
The rumor alluded to in our last respecting the
burning of a number of wagons lias beeu con
firmed by Mr. Bell. The wagons were the {gop-
erty of the Government contractqrs, and seventy-
six of them were burned. A body of armed
mounted men came at .night to the .camp, told the
wagou-master what they iulended to do, gave him
time to awake his men and remove their baggage
and bedding, told biin to select a wagon to take
his party back to the States, which he did, and they
then set fire to the whole train, burning up seventy-
six wagons. The cattle were driven into Sait Lake
City.
What regard to Jthe Indians east of Salt Lake,
it is more than probalxAv that Col J.ohuston has
propitiated them, aud thsy* wjll be found, if not
on the side of the Government, at least neutral.
In case of resistance to tbe troops, there is every'"
■reason for confidence that Col. Johnston will force ,
tiie passage of the cannon and make good his
advance to the city.
The fore if the Mormons has beeu greatly over
estimated; „.imost every available man bus been
enrolled. Iu passing through the settlement Mr.
Bell found that tbe men generally had been called
out to the mountains; and yet the whole force fell
far short of 10,000 men.
Tbe Winter has set in with severity. In the
city the snow was two inches deep, and in the
mountains w’here the Mormons were encamped
it must have been from six to twelve inches deep.
The Mormon army was in a very poor condition,
badly clothed, pooily armed aud with very little
provisions.
The families are represented as being in a suf
fering condition—wanting in provisious and wood,
the Winter already commenced and the men all
called off to tbe camps.
We have confirmation of the report that was
circulated at the time, regarding tho company
that was massacred some time since, that they
suffered at the bands of tiie Indians in revenge
for criminal indiscretions on the part of certain
of their members. Small bags containing poison
were found in springs, the waters of wliich caused
sickness aud usatii amoug the Indians. They
mustered their forces, followed and massacred the
whole party.
Klcaraguan Affairs.
The following is the Messago oftlie President
upon the arrest of Geu. Walker, lo which we re
ferred in our last. It is au able vindication of tb
policy of the Administration, as well as of the na
tional good faith, aud will command tbe attention
of our readers;
Washington, January 7, 1633.
In submitting to the .Senate the papers for which
they have called, I deem it proper to make a few
observations.
In capturing General Walker and his command,
after they had landed on the soil of Nicaragua,
Commodore Paulding has, in my opinion, commit
ted a grave error, it is quite evident, however,
from the communications herewith transmitted,
that this was done from pure and patriotic motives,
and iu the sincere conviction that he was promo
ting the interests and vindicating the honor of his
country.
In regard to Nicaragua, she has sustained no
injury by act of Commodore Paulding. This lias
enured to her benefit, and relieved her from a
dreaded invasion. She alone would have any
right to complain of the violation of her territory;
and it is quite, certain that she will never exercise
this right. It unquestionably does not lie in the
moutli of her invaders to complain in her name
that she has been rescued by Commodore Paulding
from their assaults. The error of this gallant
officer consists iu exeeediug his instructions, and
landiug his sailors and marines in Nicaragua, whe
ther with or without her consent, for the purpose
of making war upon any military force whatever
which he might find in tho country, no matter from
whence they came. This power certainly did not
belong to him. Obedience to law, and conformity
to instructions are the best and safest guides for
all officers, civil and military, and when they trans
cend these limits and act upon their own personal
responsibility, evil consequences inevitably follow.
Under these circumstances, when Marshal Rynders
presented himself at the State Department, ou the
2Dtli ultimo, with Gen. Walker in custody, tin-Se
cretary informed him that the Executive Depart
ment of the Government did not recognise Gen.
Walker as a prisoner; that it had uo directions to
give concerning him, that it is only through
the action of the judiciary that he could be lawful
ly held iu custody, to answer any charges that
might be brought against him.
The crime of setting on foot or providing the
means for a military expedition within the United
States, to make war against a foreign Stato with
which we are at peace, it is one of an aggravated
and dangerous character, and early engaged the
attention of Congress. Whether the executive
government possesses any, or what power, under
the constitution, independently of Congress, to
prevent or punish this or similar offences against
the law of nations, was a subject which engaged
the attention of your most eminent statesmen iu
the time of the administration of General Wash
ington, and ou the occasion oftlie French revolu
tion. The act of Congress of the 5th Juue, 171(4,
fortunately removed all the difficulties on this
question which had heretofore existed. The 5th
and 7th sections of this act, which relate to the
present question, are the same iu substance with
the litli and 6th sections of tbe act of April 2 ith,
lsl6, and have now been in force for a period of
more than sixty years.
In thus far disapproving the conduct of Commo
dore Paulding, no inference must be drawn tiiat I
am less determined than I ever have beeu to exe
cute the neutrality law s of the United States. This
is my imperative duty, aud I shall coutiuue to per
form it by all the meaus which the constitution
and the laws have placed in my power. My opin
ion of the value and importance of these laws cor
responds entirely with tiiat expressed by Mr. Mon
roe in his n.essage to Congress in December 7,
1619. That wise, prudent and patriotic statesman
says:
‘ It is of the highest importance to our national
character, and indispeusihlc to the morality of our
citizens that all violations of our neutrality should
be prevented. No door should be left open for
the evasion of our laws; no opportunity afforded
to any who may be disposed to take advantage of
it to conipromit the interest or the honor of the
nation.”
The military expedition rendered criminal by the
act must have its origin, must “begin’ or be set on
foot in the United States; but the great object of
the law was to save foreign States with whom we
were ai peace from tbe ravages of these lawless ex
peditions preceding from our shores. The seventh
section alone, therefore, which simply defines the
crime and punishment, would have been inade
quate to accomplish this purpose aud inforce our
international duties. In order to render the law
effectual it was uecessary to prevent the ‘carry
ing on” of such expeditious to their cousuniatiou
after they had succeeded iu leaving our shores.—
Tins lias been done effectually, aud iu clear and
explicit language,by the authority of the {‘resident,
under the eight sectiou of act to employ the laud
and myal forces of the United States “for the
purpose of preventing the carrying on of any such
expedition or enterprise from the territories of the
United Srates against the territories or domain of
any foreign prince or State, or of auy colony, dis
trict or people with whom the United States are at
peace.
For these reasons had Commodore Paulding, in
tercepted the steamer “Fashion” with General
Waik< r and his commayl on board, at any period
before they entered the port of San Juan de Nica
ragua, and conducted them back to Mobile, this
would have prevented them from “carrying on”
the expedition, and have been not only ajustitible,
but a praiseworthy act.
The crime well deserves tho severe punishment
inflicted upon it by our law s. It violates the prin
ciples ot Christianity, morality and humanity, held
sacred by all civilized nations, and by none more
than by the people of the United States. Disguise
it as we may, such a military expedition is au in
vitation to reckless aud lawless men to enlist un
der the banner of an adventurer to rub, plunder,
and murder the unoffending citizens of neighbor
ing States, who have never done them harm. It
is a usurpation of the war-making power which be
longs alone to Congress; aud the government it
self, at least in the estimation of the world, be
comes an accomplice iu the commission of the
crime, ouly it adopts all the means necessary to
prevent and punish it. It would be far better
and more in accordance with the bold and manly
character of our countrymen, for the government
itself to get up such expeditions thau to allow them
to proceed under the command of irresponsible ad
venturers. We could then, at least, exercise some
control over our own agents, and prevent them
from huruing down cities and committing other
acts of enormity, of which we have read.
The avowed principles wliich lies at the founda
tion of the law of nations is contained iu the Di
vine command that “all things whatsover ye
would that men should do to you. do ye even so
to them.” Tried by this unerring rule, we should
be severely condemned if we shall not use our best
exertions to arrest such expeditions against our
feeble sister republic of Nicaragua. Oue thing is
very certain, that people never existed who would
call any other nation to a stricter account thau » o
should ourselves for tolerating lawless expeditions
from their shores to make war upon auy portion of
our territories. By tolerating such expeditions we
shall soon lose theliigli character which wo have
eujoyed ever sthce tire days of Washington for the
faithful performance of our international obliga
tions aad duties, and inspire distrust against us
among the members uf the great tamily of civiliz
ed nations.
But if motives of duty wore not sufficient to re
strain us from engaging jn such lawless enterpri
ses, our evident interest ought to dtcate this poli
cy. Those expeditions ara the most effectual
mode of retarding American progress; although to
promote this is the avowed object of tho leaders
and contributors in suclt undertakings. It is be
youd question tbe destiny of our raco to spread
themselves over the continent of North America,
aud this at no distau: dry should events be per
mitted to take their natural course. The tide of
emigrants will now to the South, aud nothing can
eventually arrest its progress, lfpremittcd to go
there peacefully, Central America will soon con
tain au American population, which will couter
blessings and benefits as well upon the natives as
their respective governments. Liberty, under the
restraint of law, will preserve domestic peace;
whilst the different transit routs across the isth
mus iu which we are au deeply interested will have
I assured protection. Nothing has retarded this hap
py condition of affairs so much as the unlawful
expeditious wliich have been . fitted out in the
United States to make war upon the Central Amer

Anierieau eitisens who have miserably perished iu
the first disastrous expedition of Gen Walker,
settled in Nicaragua as peaceful emigrants, the
object which we all desire would ere this nave been,
in a great degree, accomplished,
These expeditions have eaused the people of the
Central American States to regard us with dread
and suspicion. It is our true policy to remove
this apprehension, and to convince them that we
intend to do them good and not evil. W6 desired,
as the leading power on this contiueut, to open,
and if need be, to protect every transit route
across the. Isthmus, not only for our own benefit,
but that of the world, and thus open a free access
to Central America, and through it to onr Pacific
possessions. This policy was commenced und -r
favorable suspices, when the expedition, under
command of Geu-. ral Walker, escaped from our
territories and proceeded to 1’unta Arenas. Should
another expedition of a similar character again
evade tho vigilance of our officers and proceed to
Nicuragua, this would be fatal, at least for a season,
to the policy of American progress. The truth is,
that uo Administration cau successfully conduct
the foreign affairs of the country iu Cemal Amer
ica, or any where else, if it is to be interfered with
at every step by lawless military exepitions, set on
foot in the United States.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
Proclamation of Koveraor (uatming.
Great River Co , near Fort Bridger, )
Utah Territory, Nov. 25, 1357. )
To the people of Utah Territory:
On the 11th of July, 1657 the President appoin
ted me to preside over the Executive Department
of this Territory. I arrived at this point on tbe
17th of this month, and shall probably be detained
some time in consequence of tbe loss of auimals
duriug I the recent snow storms. I will proceed at
this point to make the preliminary arrangement
for the temporary organization of the territorial
government.
Many treasonable acts ot violence having recent
ly beeu coinmited by lawless individuals supposed
to have been countenanced by the late Executive,
such persons are in a stato of rebellion. Proceed
ings will be instituted against them in a court
organized by Chief Justice Eckels, held in this
county, which will supersede the necessity of ap
pointing a military commission for the trial of
such offenders. It is my duty to enforce uncondi
tional obedience to tbe Constitution, to the organ
ic laws of this Territory, aud to all other laws of
Congress applicable to you. To enable me to
effect this object, I will iu the event ofresistance
rely upon a posse ctnnilatus of the well-disposed
portion of the inhabitants of this Territory, and
will only resort to a military posse in case of ne
cessity. I trust that this necessity will not oc
cur.
I come among you with no prejudices or enmi
ties, aud by the exercise of a just and firm niinis-
tratiou, I hope to commend your confidence.
Freedom of conscience and the use of your own
peculiar mode of serving God, are sacred rights
guarantied by the Constitution, with which it is
not the province ot the Government or the dispo
sition of its representative iu this Territory to in
terfere.
In virtue of my authority as Connnander-in
Chief of tho Militia of this Territory, I hereby
command all armed parties of individuals, by whom
soever organized, to disband, and return to their
respective homes. The penalty of disobedience
to this command will subject tlio offenders to tho
punishment duo to traitors.
A. CUMMING.
Governor of Utah Territory.
Green River Co., Near Fort Bridger, U. T., \
Nov. 21,1657. )
On the 11th of July. 1857, I was appointed bythe
President to be Governor of this Territory. Since
my arrival within the limits of the Territory, I regret
to find that many acts of violence have been com
mitted on the high ways, in the destruction and
robbery of property belonging to the United States.
These acts, which indicate that tho territory is in
a state of rebellion, arc ascribed, how truly I do
not know, to yourself. A proclamation purport-
ting to have been issued from you, and passes
sigued by your authority, found upon the person
of Joseph Taylor have been submitted to my inspec
tion.
The matter contained in these papers author
izes and commands violent and treasonable
acts tending to the disruption of tbe peace of the
Territory, and wliich subject their authors to tho
penalties accorded to traitors.
If these papers refered to be not authentic I trust
you will promptly disowue them.
I herewith enclose a copy of my proclamation to
to the people of Utah.
Y’ou will oblige me by acknolodgiug the receipt
of this by returning messengers.
1 am, very rcspecfully, your obedient, &c.,&c. f

Governor of Utah Territory.

The Last Asteroid—Virginia. The asteroid
discoverd at the National Observatory on the 4th
of October last, by Mr. Ferguson, has we under
stand, been called Virginia. The name, though
not in perfect conformity with the canon previ
ously adopted in respect to these bodies, which
was to designate them after Dete Minores of the
Mythology, has, nevertheless, been allowed and
adopted by the astronomers ;of other countries.
Indeed, after having christened, or rather paganed,
one of them Victoria and another Eugenie, it
would have been uncharitable to have objected to
this uaiiK?, celebrated in ancient and modern song
and story, aud also one of the appellatives of the
most celebrated of English Queens-
This asteroid was also discoverd on the l'ffh of
October, (fifteen days alter its discovery here,)
by Dr. Luther, of Dusseldorf. It is the fiftieth of
the group between Mars and J upiter, of which
eight have beeu discovered during the past year.
Of those already known, Euphrosyne (discovered
by Mr. Fergeson, in 1654) has the largest orbit,
and Flora the least; the semi-axis being respec
tively 3.156 and 2-201 in units of the vary mean
radius of the Earth’s orbit Tlierir diameters
from 49.4 to 4.4 German miles Vesta beiug tho
largest and Atalanta the least.
It is possible that these planetary boulders may
extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter, in which case
they would not be discoverable with the optical
power now applicable to this purpose. If conned to
the firing in which they have hitherto been found,
there may be from three to five hundred of them;
so that the females of one mythology will not fur
nish a directory sufficiently copious to designate
them, and astronomers will have to come down
among the river-goddesses and saints. We may
then expect to have St, Agatha, St. Bridget, and
St. Cunt’gonda in the some starry cotillon with
Juno, Ceres, Pallas, and Circe.
The French astronomers, apprehending a scar
city of good names, have begun to call their an
nexations of this class after the principal cities of
France; so we have Paris and Marseilles apotheo-
sised, under the names of Lutetia and Massalia.
An English discoverer has called his planet Isis;
though, whether after the river at Oxford, or the
Egyptian divinity, does not appear. The fifty
already discovered have been found by fourteen
diff erent discoverers.
Death of A gust in S. Wingfield. Esy.—The Agusta
Dispatch of Wednesday evening says:
“We are pained to hear of the death of our old
friend, AegustinS. Wingfield, Esq, of Madison,
He died yesterday morning, ill that town, aged
about 37 years. A nobler soul never ceased to
exist,—a warmer or more generous heart never
ceased to beat. We knew him intimately and lov
ed him for his manly virtues. He was a man of
bright intellect—of extensive reading, and stood
high in his profession. No man ever left behind
him a largerjcircle of friends or tewer enemies.
