yield it. Yet she stole it. and became an engine
of oppression unto a*, and entirely monopolized
the trade of the Colonies. And whilst we hunger
ed and thirsted, she enamor ‘d of its prostitutions,
boasted of her American Revenues, showed more
ef the wolf, and a ravenous disposition to gnaw
our very vitals out. We were in a far worse con
dition. so far as our line of trade and resources
were concerned, than oppressed Cuba is to-day:
for Spain is too weak to monopolize her trade and
the commerce of tho Island mixes with that of
other nations, expands the revenues, diversifies
the interests, ami sustains the people. It was a
continued effort on the part of the colonies to re

England, and to the philosophical unad it was

mon dangers that surround the country, the colo
nies only needed srrngth. and time ivould soon
d ride thnt question. For m arly a century causes
had been in operation for the great result. In
166 I the English act of navigation was passed,
the grand object of which seem? to have boon to
secure to England, the whole trade of the Ameri
can .colonies; it was provid 'd by the act, tliat
none hut British ships should transport American
produce across the ocean. It was also enacted,
that such articles as the colonies might wish,
should be purchased only in the markets of Great
Britain. Huvy penalties were imposed on ail
violators of this law An English writer lias said,
“There lie among the documents in the board of
trade and State-p iper office, the most satisfactory
proof, from the epoch of the English Revolution
in 1088, throughout every reign of the settled
determination of the American colonies, to ac
quire direct, independence, and positive sovereign
ty.’’ Lint the foolish George the Third, was
blind - d so by tory zeal, and had such whimsical
notions of the laws of empire, and was guided
by such « Lining, bootlicking, courtly sycophants,
that he could not comprehend that America ever
would resist. Or else he could have mended evils,
broeght about by bis ancestors. England surely
under his dominion, must have enjoyed bliss
ful ignorance. For her ministry seems to have
been wrapped in the plcutitude of their impor
tance, and to have dictated aline of policies, not
three yards long. A butter tool for tyranny, never
waved a scepter, than George the third, and he had
at his feet, a cabinet of ministers, still lower in
the scale of humanity: who desecrated all rights,
and held up a deceitful vice, as a virtuous senti
ment, and were of a cruel, and barbarous nature.
The people of England, 1 am glad to sa>, never
sympathised with the King, or his cabinet, in the
unholy crusade made against America. And it is
with pride we recollect the great Burke and Gord
Chatham, and Lord Camden, and other high
names, who took sides with Am ric.u before Par
liament. Even Lord Cornwallis, the greatest gen
eral England sot against us in the Revolution,
voted against the oppressions of the colonies, in
Parliament. George the third accelerated the con
troversy, which hastened our Revolution. Our
people required measures of strong and pal
pable injustice on the part of the mother country
to justify resistance—these were now furnished
by their Sovereign an 1 King. They needed spirits
of high order, great daring and long foresight,
p.nd of commanding power, to seize the favoring
occasion, to strike a blow, which should for all
time to come, sever the tie of colonial dependent’ ;
and these spirits were found in all the extent,
which that or any crisis could demand, in Patrick
Henry and James Otis, in Adams and Hancock,
Washington, Jefferson, tho Pinkneys and Rut
ledges, and other immediate authors of our inde
pendence.
It has been said, that at Concord, and at Lex
ington, the first blood of the Revolution was shed.
1 wish not, Felllow Citizens, to detract from the
glories of New England, upon the 19th of April
1775, and I would rather that my rightarui be
palsied, than to take one iota from her bold deeds
and daring acts. For it was Xew England that
beheld the deeds of Prescott, and heard the voice
of Putnam, amidst the storm of War—and it was
in Xew England, the generous Warren fell, the
first distinguished victim in the cause of Liberty;
and immediately after the battle of Bunker Hiil,
it was New England that saw the burning spires
of Charlestown, liat when we see that another
State, is entitled to the honor, why should Mas
sachusetts take the honor unto herself. In the
latter days of our Republic, the honor has fallen
upon our good “old north Stats ” oi the Carolina*
to have cast the first ball in the Revolution. For
upon the 16th dayof May, 1771, upon the banks
of the Alamance River, in the State of Xortli Car
olina, was shed tho first blood in tho United
States, “in resistance to exactions of English
rulers, and oppressions by the English govern
ment.” The royal forces there under Gov. Tryon,
consisted of over JIOil well disciplined, and effect
ive men, the Regulators as they were termed, con
sisted of 2000. But they were militia from the
country, and in many cases, knew not liow to
shoulder a gun Still, they withstood the tire of
superior discipline for two hours, and when they |
retired, left only ‘JO dead upon the field, and had
slain 61 of their combattants. Here was the first
battle of the Revolution, and had success crowned
the efforts of Herman Husbands, a near relative
to Dr. Benjamin Franklin, and leader of the Regula
tors, as has been truly said, his name would have
come down to us, with the Ashes, and Waddels of
that day, or the Hampdens, and Sidneys, of foi-
mcr times. The first American manifesto, against
the encroachments of power, the elective franchise
and the unwise interference of trade, was made
in Xorth Carolina, in J678; nearly one hun
dred years before our Revolution. In the county
of Mecklenburgh, and State of Xortli Carolina, at
Charlotte, on the 2‘ith of May, 1775, was adopted
the first Declaration of Independence in these
colonies; more than one year before the Philadel
phia Declaration. There is a great similarity be
tween the two. You have heard one, and I will
read you the other. [Here it was read to the au
dience.'] This is not all . Fellow Citizens, early in
the year 1765. the Diligence, a sloop of war. ar

for the colony. Col Ashe and Waddel, at the head
of the brave sons, terrified the captain of the Brit

( Y oi k and Lancaster, whose white and red roses
, would not bloom together ! It was party rage,
j that seated the infernal, and beastly, and wretch
of a man Jeffries, upon the English bench as Lord
Chief Justice; a melancholy monument cf the
folly and inadnass of England.
Wo all know what Jacobin faction, and Uolics-
piorre, with his bloody coadjutors, did for Kevolu-
iouary France. We see Mexico, torn by internal
lisorders, and civil discord, her life-blood stream-
ng from every pore; she lias been the victim of
party rage.
We once had evidence of party rage in this
country ; we were engaged in a second war with
England, her cruisers darkened onr coasts, doubt
j and distress hung over our arms, the enemy hail
j sacked and burned our common capitol, and her
j armies could be tracked by the burning light of
| villages, when an assembly met in Xew England,
I and resolved : “T« withhold the rrsourrrs of Xe’r
j England and malic a separate peace.’' This was
: the famous Hartford Convention, which has been
j incarnadined, upon the page of our own liis-
j ,or .v nn d will ever remain a blot on the eharac-
] ter of New England. Blue federal lights were
I burned, along the coats of Xew England, to show
i the British where to come in. I adduce but a small
portion of the accumulated evidence of party rage,
in our country, for it is not a pleasant subject to
I mo. For I am forced to the conclusion that, un-
| less it ceases, our end will be like that of France
and Rome—they were as happy and as glorious
J as wc, in their palmiest days—ibey tilled the soil,
| fh.-ir bards sung, and their heroes fought, but
j these nations are now lost amid the wreck of em
pires and erusli of Republics. The evils of the
present day 1 shall not discuss, fellow-citizens,
but leave them with you, as they are connected
with politics. May all the evils of onr country be
rectified, and we live after the good old days of
the Republic, and lastly may the God of hosts,
avert us from all dangers till the fulness of the
times of the Gentile be come in according to his
word, and give ns virtue; and we assemble, and
our children after us. and celebrate this day to all
time to come, keeping in view our fathers of’76,
and let their memories gather glory with the (light

his stamped paper, seized the sloop of war’s boat

They went to the royal governor, “bearded the
Douglas in his den,’ and .were never appeased un
til it was placed beyond ail doubt’that we should not
be troubled with stamps again. Virginia and Mas
sachusetts each, contend for having commenced
the Revolution. One has field forth Patrick Henry
and the other James Olis. and Concord and Lex
ington. North Carolina, in the meanwhile puts
forward no claim for the honor, but historians
•will yield her the. palm, hereafter Geo. Bancroft
was the first historian that ever did lmr justice.
Hie veil is drawn over the men of ‘7fi, and we
shall never see their like again, they were some of
the “few immortal names that were not horn to
die,” though undisciplined in arms, yet when the
English Lion roared in the land, they met him at
all points, with the deeeretioc of soldiers, and a
valor like heroes; until the mighty lion was pros
trated before the American Eagle. Often were
they barefooted and naked, going over the frozen
ground, or crossing some river of floating Ice,
hungry, and thirsty, to meet the enemy. The
man who can forget them, is “fit for treason, strat
agem and spoils.” ’1 he battle-fields of the Rev
olution saved to us onr liberties; our constitution is
the result of those liberties. Let us honor the
men of ’7fi.
It is the misfortune .vrith most nations io fail
entirely in a Revolution, and can never set a gov
ernment upon the right basis. Look at France,
she had ell the chivalry necessary to found a gov
eriiment. but the turpitude of her citizens, permit
ted no moral principle to flourish within her limits
Look at Mexico—she threw off - the shackles of
of Spain, and cut Castiliian bondage at a blow.
All eyes were turned in that direction, “a Napo-
leun of the West” had arism, and truly at first, lie
promised to be a wonderful man. Thousands ral
lied.to bis standard of freedom—his cannon belch
ed forth their volumes in the mountains and his
musketry rattled upon the liill-tops, and in the
valleys—liberty was to be enjoyed, and a bloated
priesthood chastised, and forever annihilated—
fees trembled before him, his course was upward,
and onward, when soon lie found himself planted
firmly, in the chair of State. He then laughs all
Constitutions to scorn, declares himself Dictator,
ruled the people with an iron rod, and they tamely
submitted, except the four times they have exiled
him, but recalled him as many tim-s, except the
last.
It is useless to talk of Revolution without there
is virtue in the people. There was a Revolution
at which my eye turns with delight, and my heart
at the thoughts of which, leaps with an exultant
and bouyaut bound. And as a Georgian 1 am
proud to say the Georgia boys covered themselves
with glory in the cont-st—this was the Texjis Rev
olution. "The gallant and intrepid Wood, the gift
ed and b°ld Fannin and Travis, ami Ex-President
Lamar, with hundreds uf their hold comrades
were all from Georgia Travis' defence of the
Alamo, Wood's battle at the Church, Fannin’-
battle on the plains, and Lamar’s bold charge at
San Jacinto, nrr unequalled for bravery and daring,
in the warfare ot au'cient,.or modern times. Texas
possessed the Anglo Saxon race with its best vir-
tm s. Who ever has taken the, pains to look into
the character of her public men, they s* e them of
more than Roman character, or of any nation.
Like Cincinur.ttus’of the olden .they can go
to the plow, or like Alcibiades they are great, an I
accomplished, and can fill any office, at home or
abroad, like Kpaminondas they are. heroes, anil
never count odds ; ten nu n must whip a regiment.
The American people make their breasts, a bul
wark of the nation's liberty, and are heroic at all
timers. Jf I had time, I should travel into the
Mexican war—there is valor, and heroic example
for any nation.
Is it not unfortunate, fellow citizens, that as
great a country as we have—great in resources,
and great in arms, there is an alienation, between
the two sections of our Republic. There is a fa
naticism darker than hell itself, nnd more cruel
than the grave, which has grown up since the
foundation of our Loiou. It was nothing but
party rage, and fanaticism, ibat seated Scvila on
the ruins of bleeding Rome, and his great rival on
tbe ruins of Carthago j and every patriot ^pgli.s to
think of it. Does not the mind turn away from
the picture drawn by historians, of the intestine
Credit.
At present we will say nothing of credit, 36 be
tween the manufacturer and importer and either
the wholesale or retail merchant, nor of credit be
tween the lender and borrower of money, nor of
credit in the purchase of land and negroes to
work it; nor yet of credit to the mechanic'for ma
terial or stuck, but will coniine our remarks to
the credit given and received in the Hide every
day transactions of life—by the merchant, me
chanic. farmer A c., to the ciinsnii er.
We hold that the consumer ought to pay cash
or its equivalent in some product of the miu", soil
or w orkshop, upon the delivery of every article he
buys for consumption—that the systen which
j gives him credit is “evil only evil and that con
tinually." Evil as defined by Webster, “is nnv-
| tiling which produces pain distress, loss or calam
ity. or which in any way disturbs peace or im-
! pairs happiness, misfortune, mischief, injury.’ Ac.
| The credit system of which we are w riting, in
flicts all these and more. Do not be alarmed good
reader, we will a’tempt no learned essay, but will
as gently as we may, remind you of the evil you
have allowed yourself to fall into, by accepting
credit and give you such hints as will serve, if
acted upon to molify the present evil and prevent
tiie recurrence of the same in the future. This is
the semi-annual settling month—the books have
been posted—the clerks aie busy making out ac
counts, and in a few days yours will be presented.
“Keep cool!” Here comes the clerk with your
dry goods account—-how frightfully large—read it

J not the items charged under fancy foreign names
j be the several articles of rich silk or saiiu dresses,

[ In May number of Southern cultivator..
The above extract brings to the consideration of
the Southern people, one of the most important
subjects to be found in the volume of agricultural
philosophy. It is a subject eminently worthy the
prefoundest minds, and should create more fear in
the ranks of onr people than any other subject,
“Northern aggression’’ not excepted. The system
of agriculture in the South is doing more than any
ami all other causes to pull down our “peculiar
institution.” No man who will reflect as he should
upon the subject can help from arriving at the
conclusion, that our system of agriculture must he
changed, or we are, beyond all question, a ' tiiued
people. Thousands of plantations have been
brought from the woods into cultivation within
the last 50 years, and worn out, and its owners
furred to leaf it or starve.
We “speak of things that we know, and testify
of things that we have seen"—no “may be so”
but it—it is God's truth. And if plantation after
plantation has been exhausted iu the short space
of a few years; and the occupants have absolutely
beeu driven from them to keep from starving; will
not the sam ■ cause produce the same effect upon
all the land in cultivation in the South that is
subject to deterioration; and that, too. in the life
time of some that live?
Oh. let us for goodness sake, change our system
of plantation economy. Let us quit moving.
Let the planters of the old cotton growing districts,
as 1 have elsewhere remarked, feel themselves at
home. Let them iiil up the old gullies—improve
the old red hills—prune the old orchard—improve
the old homestead—enjoy the society ot old friends
—visit the old moss-covered church, in whose yard
slumher the remains of long departed friends.
Then, and not until then, will the South begin to
grow stronger, and stronger; and her institutions
placed upon an immoveable basis.

The I'se cf Cotton.
In a recent number of the Charleston Courier
there is a curious and interesting communication
touching certain new uses to winch cotton may be
applied. It seems that a gentleman of South
Carolina, by the name of Legare, has been ter
many years engaged in experimenting upon the
fibres of cotton wood, with a view of compressing
them into a permanently solid form He first
succeeded so tar to create a compact substance,
which was uneiastic, plastic tinder the fingers, and
hard as wood. He called it cotton wood, and
caused various articles of furniture to be fashioned
from this novel material for Lis own use One or
two of these were exhibited at the Sou lb Carolina
Institute, and obtained a gold medal. He next
went one step further, aud obtained a plastic
substance, fire aud water proof, aud possessing
every quality desirable in the best rooting. From
this it was but a step to the construction of a
material suitable for vertical walls, and capable
of any amount of moulding and relief. So that if
the statements and anticipations of the corres
pondent of the Charleston Courier arc correct, a
house may be built from foundation to roof-tree of
compressed cotton, nearly as heard as stone, and
quite as impenetrable to the elements; and it may
be built in half the time it would take to lay the
bricks in a brick house of the same size, and at
about one-third of the cost. The workman has
ample opportunity to give the surface any ap
pearance he pleases; it may be smooth or cor
rugated, plain or wrought into any forms that taste
or fancy may prescribe. And in the preparation
of this material, all tiie refuse and worthless cot
ton on the plantation, and even the sweepings of
cotton factories, hitherto rejected even by the
paper-marker, may b - freely used.

idleness, mismanagement or dishonesty of the
debtor—rarely from misfortune; and this loss
must be made gaod to the creditor, which is done
by the higher charge upon the wares and mer
chandise sold or services rendered to the prudent
honest, paying consumer. To the losses abso
lutely sustained must be added the commission
varying from 5 to 16 per cent, to collect such ac
counts as are good; aud in the case of the mer

The habit of giving and receiving credit is con
firmed by the practice of our people from the ear
liest history of our state, and many may think that
no change can be made. We think differently.—
If it be desirable to make the change, aud for this
we could give additional reasons it could be done
in a year or two—at least nothing can, by any pos
sibility, be lost on the part otauy person who may
for himself, adopt the cash plan. It is not to be
done by bolding public meetings, legislative enac-
ments, proclamations by the Governor, by order
of the court, arguments of the lawyers or pills of
doctors, but simply that each man shall for himself
do without an article until lie can either pay the
money, or its equivalent, for it. All that is want
ed is the will with more or less self-denial, as each
particular case may require. We do not believe
that our citizens have lived 12 months in advance
of their income. With a determined eff ort, every
man who is not hopelessly insolvent can, within
two years, be freed from debt, and stay so. We
mean debt for what he and his family eat, drink,
and wear. Such a course would diffuse a spirit of
industry, enterprise, thrift, self-reliance, indepen
dence ot feeling and character, an amount of com
fort. peace, quiet and happiness, that, perhaps, no
other earthly thing could do.

Cool ami Considerate.—The last Pasis scandal is
concerning the elopement of an English gentle
man, (a resident of Liverpool, where he acquired
the fortune he has for some years been spending in
Paris,) with a young lady of good family, also
from the neighborhood of Liverpool. The gentle
man is married to a young and pretty wife,
superior in all things, so say they, to her rival,
but wanting the charm of novelty alone to fix the
tickle taste of her frail partner. A telegraph
dispatch announced, in business-like fashion, the
departure of the guilty couple from Havre to New
Orleans, which was sent, according t« the gentle
man's own words, “to prevent his dear wife from
feeling that uneasiness which he knew she would
would experience so long as she ramained in ignor
ance of his fate!'’
Land Warrants—An important change is made
in this description of property, by the act of Con
gress of June 3d, 1858. They were formerly held
as real estate, and conveyed after forms and
methods prescribed for real estate; but this act
converts them into personal chattels; and makes
them subject in conveyance, assignment, Sec., to
the laws governing personal property. In the
event of the death uf tbe claimant prior to the
issuing of the warrant, this act also provides that
the title to tbe warrant shall then vest in the widow,
if one is left, and, if not, then it shall descend as
other personal chattels to the other heirs or
legatees—Wash Star.
Distemper Among the Cattle.—Extract of a let
ter to tbe editors, dated Laurens county, June 28,
1858.
“The cattle have a strange disease among them.
It prevails generally in onr grass country—even
among work steers. Their mouths become sore,
their eyes red, their hair turned up, the back
scurfy, the feet sore, so much so that they are una
ble to walk s<> as to feed, even if they were able to
eat. Their feet and legs have the appearance of a
bad founder. It is of recent occurrence. And
let not many have died. No remedy as yet found
of much benefit. The deer from report, are also
dying all over the woods.”
Another letter from Laurens county, dated on
the 3d July, says’
“Crops flourishing; line seasons of rain. Farm
ers are complaining of scarcity of milk and butter,
oil account of sore mouth with which their cattle
are sick and dying. It is the complaint generally
through this section, owing we suppose, to some
poisonous matter which they eat. Ido not know

I also found, contrary to my first impression
that teeth diseased at tho roots could be extracted
with but slight pain and sometimes without any
disagreeable feeling from tbe current, as witness
ed iu case No. 25; a lady tiventv-five years of age
had three teeth taken out, one of them very badly
diseased at the root. She exclaimed, Oh! that
don’t hurt, and so with several other cases. There
is sometimes an afier-pain in extracting diseased
teeth. It occurs immediately after the tooth
leaves the socket: it is probably caused by the cold
air coming iu contact with tiie diseased part thus
exposed.
Teeth extracting is the most unpleasant part of
dentisliy aud I am happy to state that, by tny use
of this process I have been saved much of tbe un
pleasantness occasioned by giving my patients so
much pain.
A young man had a tooth extracted by me yes
terday, lie said lie always had a great deal of dif
ficulty in having his teeth extracted, hut with
:his one he said he felt no pain, lit- ivas quite de
lighted, and thanked me: something he said he
had never done to a dentist before.
Numerous instances of the kind have occurred
■ n my u«e of this liiventi in. I have found that
the hemmorage is in no degree increased by this
process, and I have heard of no person who ex
perienced any subsequent pain or inconvenience.
In no case have 1 found the use of this invention
in any way objectionable.
Very respectfully vours Sec.

It our Maker thought it wrung for Adam to live
single, iiinm tlieie was not a woman upon earth,
ho o' criminally guilty are old bachelors, w ith the
world full of pretty girls.
So says an exchange. Ever since the .days of
Adam old bachelors have been the butt for every
body’s ridicule. We protest against it. There
is a vast difference between Adam and the old
bachelors of our day. A-iani could afford to many
—many bachelois now-a-days cannot. What
with crinoline, five hundred dollar shawls, dia
mond bracelets, and pin money, it is no small
undertaking at this age of the world. Eve had
no choice—it was Adam or nobody. She -had no
chance to get up a flirtation, for there was no one
to flirt with. Seeing no other meaus of tantalizing
her husband—a feminine peculiarity from that
day to this—she got him into a scrape by eating
tb** forbidden trait. 1 Obi bachelors are criminally
guilty ’are they? Give “old bachelors”-the same
chance Adam had, and our word for it, a majority
of them will put on matrimony iu no time.—Sac.

Goo. Cumaiing’s Reception at Salt Lake Ci’y des
cried by a Gentile Refugee.—Thomas CornilaJe,
a Gentile, who passed the winter among the Mor
mons, and took advantage of Gov. Gumming’s
protection to escape from Salt Lake City, thus
described his reception by Brigham Young, the
twelve Apostles and the Saints ot Utah.
Brigham passed out into an ante-room, aud re
turned with two gentlemen, whom he introduced
to tho audience as Gov. Cumming and Col. Kane
Kane never said a word.
Gov Gumming said to the people he had come
there ts Governor of Utah, to do them good—not
harm.
The people cried out, ‘ Speak louder.”
The Governor repeated what he had said and
added, “I am your irieud.”
Voices—“I don’t believe —“It is a lie.”
Governor Gumming—“I uavc tome out here to
see that justice is done you—to see that you are
protected from the Indians. I have come on my
own responsibility, without an escort, or guard,
or any aims—not even a penknife. ’
Audience—“It is not true, it is false. You have
come supported by 206 bayonets. ’ lhis was hal
loed out with great noise aud rage. It was then
added; “We wont believe you are our triend un
til you send these soldiers back.” It was a perfect
Bedlam, the people halloed out any and every
thing, aud personal remarks were made. Ihe
audience became so violent that Brigham fre
quently had to interfere to quiet them.
One man said, “You are nothing but an office
seeker.” The Governor replied that he obtained
his appointment honorably, and had not solicited
it. The people then cried out, “IN e will not have
a Missourian to rule over us.” The Governor re
plied that lie was not a Missourian, that he was a
Georgian.
John Taylor got up and apologised, saying that
Mr. Gumming must excuse them—they had
thought ha was a Missourian; then he went on to
recount what they had suffered from the hands ot
the Missourians, when Brigham stopped him by
saying that there was no necessity for narrating
that. The halloing, talking and screaming lasted
over two hours.
Coup de Suliel.—A perforated hat, or green
leaves or a wet handkerchief or sponge worn in
side of the hat, it is said, will prevent sun-stroke.
We h >ve seen, within the past week, many ac
counts of sun-stroke, in the Northern papers
The subjects are almost invariably “free laborers,”
endeavoring to earn a meagre subsistence by too
much exposure to the hot sun’s rat s. In endeav
oring to keep the bodi-'s anil souls together, of
themselves and families, by earning a miserable
pittance, they are felled to the earth—stricken
down “in the harness,” and buried in the potter’s
field at the public expense—their starvation wages
never enabling them to layup a dollar for burial
purposes, or even for doctor’s bills. They are
Outli physicked in sickness and buried in death,
by tbe hand of charity, if that can be called by
the sacred name of Charity which is done only in
self-defence! Gharity indeed! NVhy, they an
obliged to be buried, shut into the earth, to pre
vent the intolerable stench which would otherwise
assail the pious, nigger scenting and nigger-wor
shipping shriekers tor “free’' labor. NVere it not
for this self-protection, they would say, “let the
dead bury their dead”!
But we set out to say something about sun
stroke, and have somewhat wandered. Did any
body ever see a negro affected in this way! No
their physical adaptation to endure excessive heat
would prevent it, even if the interest of tln-ir
owners did not dictate caution in regulating the de
gree of exposure to which the negroes are subject
ed. Here iu the South the plantation negroes are
lying iu theshade during the hottest hours of the
day, with plenty to eat, drink and wear, a house
to live in, no taxes nor doctor’s bills to pay, their
families also comfortably provided for—while the
Northern laborer has the largest "freedom” to
sweat, putt', and blow, from the morn’s grey dawn
tiil dewy eve, and perchance be turned out of a
rented house at night, unless he happens to be
to be sun-struck during the day —Mail.
Marshal Xey’e Death Srcne.—The vengeance- of
the Allied Powers demands sonic victims; and the
intrepid Ney, who had well nigh put the crown
again on Bonaparte's head at Waterloo, was to be
one of them. Condemned to be shot, he was led
to the Garden of Luxemburg, on the morning of
the 7th of December, and placed in front of a file
of soldiers, drawn up to kill him. One of the
officers stepped up to bandage his eyes, but he
hut he stopped him, saying, “Are you ignorant
that for twenty-five years I have been accustomed
te face both ball and bullet? He then lifted his
hat above his head, and with the same calm voice
that had steaded his columns so frequently, in the
roar and tumult of battle, said, “I declare before
God and man, that I never betrayed niv country:
may my death render her happy. Vive la France!’
He then turned to the soldiers, and striking his
haul] on hir heart, gave order, “Soldiers, fire!” A
simultaneous discharge followed, nnd the ‘bravest
of the brave’ sank to rise no more. ‘He who had
fought .fire hundred battles for France, not one
against her, was shot as a traitor!” As I looked
on the spot where lie fell, I could not but sigh
over liis fate True, he broke his oath of allegi
ance—so did others, carried away by tlu-ir attach
ment to Napoleon and the enthusiasm that hailed
his approach to Paris. Still he was no traitor.

Common Sense Young Ladies.—If young ladies
only knew it, they would be making themselves
far more attractive in the eyes of sensible persons
of the other sex, by showing that they are not
afraid of performing a little labor, than by a maw
kish impression that they arc above work. 'Young
men of brains, while of course despising that
slavery that would continually keep the iaxlics at
tin- wash-stand or at the sewing table, without
amusement and relaxation at all, love to see in
young ladies a desire to make themselves useful,
ami in .selecting a wife would vastly prefer such
a one. It is all a mistaken point that ladies need
be dressed in furs and silks and feathers to win
tbe admiration of young men. We know of half-

The reported ferrr in Netv Orleans.—Says tfic

The Montgomery papers of the 1st state that
passengers arrived there from New Orleans report
that yellow fever has appealed in that city, in a
malignant form. We hope this is not true, but fear
that it is.
To which the New Orleans Picayune of the 9th
replies:
Fear not. The report is untrue—it has no
foundation. Our city is healthy, and we have
sanguine hopes that it will continue so.
The New Orleans Her thinks that as the city is
some thirty-four days later in the season than is
usual when the city is scourged by an epidemic,
it may reasonably indulge the hope of passing
through a healthy summer. For it lias noticed,
that when yellow fever prevailed in an epidemic

Hints about making pnserves.—It is not gener
ally known, that boiling truit a long time, and-
skimming it well without the sugar, and without
a cover to the preserving pan, is a very economi
cal aud excellent way—economical, because the
bulk of the skum rises from the fruit, and not
from the sugar, if the la: ter is good; and boiling it
without a cover allows the evaporation of all the
watery particles therefrom; the preserves keep
firm and well flavored The proportions are
three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of
fruit. Jain made in this way, of currents, straw
berries, or goosebeniei is excellent

Health of F.z-Prrsident Pierce and Lady.—A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from
Boston, says:
“The friends of Ex-President Tierce will be
glad to learn that, by a late arrival by ship from
Madeira, tidings have been received from him.
Ilis own health was perfect. The health of his
excellent wife had been improved by her sojourn
in the island, but the causes of her sickness were
not removed. They were to leave Maderia on the
1st of June, for Lisbon; thence avoiding the larg
er European cities, for Vevay, in Switzerland,
where he will spend the summer. Mr. Nathaniel
Hawthorne and Mr. John Howard March will be
with him in Switzerland, I hear. The period of
his stay in Europe will be controlled by the health
of Mrs. Pierce.

other. He has already been nominated by some
of ihe border States as a candidate for the l’resi-

that position. He is not strongly enough imbued
with Freesoi! sentiments to suit his Northern ad

An Italian Lrgand.—The following is from the
letter of an American now travlling in Italy:
“At sunset we reached Gacta. This place
abounds in historical interest, and it was here that
the Pope found refuge when he fled from the
Republic in 1849. Among the legends of the
place is one to the effect that he and the King of
Naples, who had come to visit him in his exile,
went on hoard of an American frigate. The com
mander welcomed him in these terms: “Pope bow
are you? King, how d’ye do?” “here Lieuteuant

Peau Sir :—I feel that it is a duty to suffering hu

fits I have derived from tlieuse of I’erry Davis’s Paiu
Killer. Lust summer I lmd the misfortune to lose two
of my children by that dreadful scourge—the cholera—
nnd in all human probability should liax'e fallen a victim
to the pestilence myself if a kind Providence hud not
provided me a help in the hour of need. I firs* became
acquainted with the Pain Killer v, hilst travelling on tho
river with my husband. A gentleman passenger iiad
some with him which he recommended in the highest
terms as a remedy for cholera. I thought no more ot
it ut the time, but the same night I was attacked by the
cholera in its worst form. I resorted to various reme
dies used 6) arrest its progress, but ail in vain. I was
seized with violent cramps, and my discharges Ix-gnn to
assume the same character as did those of my dear chil
dren previous to their death. I was looked upon as lost,
I all at once thought of the PAIN KILLER. My hus
band obtained tin- bottle from onr fellow passenger and
administered to me a dose. I experienced almost im
mediately a cessation of pain. The dose was repeated
at intervals of fifteen minutes, four or fivs times, and
the result was my complete recovery. I feel confident that
I owe my life to the Pain Killer, and only regret that f
had uot have known of itsextraordinauy virtues earlier
I then might have saved the lives of my dear chidren.
Since that tin;, 1 have used the Pain Killer iu my fam
ily extensively,aud the more I use it, the better I like
it. As a great family medicine it has no equal.

England aud America in 1813.—The following is
from the London Times of March 16th 1813.
“They will learn with sentiments which we shall
not presume to anticipate, that a third British
frigate has struck to an American. This is an oc
currence that calls for serious reflection—this aud
the fact stat- ii iu our paper of yesterday that
Lloyd’s list contains notice of upwards of five
hundred British vessels, five merchantmen and
three frigates! [Aye, and three sloops of war.]
“Can the statement be true and can the English
people hear them unmoved? Any one who had
predicted such a result of an American war this
time last year would have been treated as mad
or a traitor. He would have been told, if his
opponents had condescended to argue with him,
that long ere seven months had elapsed the
American flag would be swept from the seas, the
contemptible navy of the United States annihi
lated, and their maratime arsenals rendered aheap
of rains.
“Yet down to this moment not a single Ameri
can frigate has struck her flag. They insult us
and laugh at onr want of enterprise and vigor—
They h ave their ports when they please aud re
turn to them when it suits their convenience; they
traverse the Atlantic, they beset the West India
Islands, they advance to thevery chops of the chan
nel. they parade along the coasts of South America
nothing chases, nothing intercepts, nothing enga
ges them, but to yield them triumph.”
Disease Among the fatlle.
This disease, whose ravages have b -eu worse
perhaps in Florida than any where else, but
which exists to some extent in all section*, still
continues among the stock in this county, and is
becoming more general an-1 more fatal. Tb'-ro
arc various opinions as to the character of the
malady. Some think, and that too from close
examination, that the disease which •--ems to bo
making a universal sweep of tbe deer, is not the
black tongue, but a sort of murrain. It is said
also, that although among the cattle, tho majority
of cases are black or sore tougue yet murrain exists
anioug them also.

the case, although we have no direct knowledge
ou the subject. NVe might have had this knowl
