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 sist, and upon this unwise policy, ot: the part of England, and to the philosophical unad it was easy to behold that an independent government nrn*t arise, and to sustain its-If agaiust the com 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 rived in*the old Cape Fear, with stamped paper for the colony. Col Ashe and Waddel, at the head of the brave sons, terrified the captain of the Brit ish sloop, rnn him out of Cape Fear River, witl , ;>• '-ail b.-.iiii, .a i l party r.ige of the houses of; ( 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 of ages and let “Each little rill, each mountain river Roll mingling with their fame forever.” Then we can truly say— • F-s the starspangled banner, oh, long may it wave O er tiro land of the five and the home of tiie brave! his stamped paper, seized the sloop of war’s boat misted it in a cart, fixed a mast in her, mounted a hoisted flag, and marched in triumph to Wilmington.— 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.

Editors Southern Cultivator—'“I think I could demonstrate, would the limits to which I must necessarily confine myself in a monthly agricultural paper allow me, that our present num ber of slaves, with their natural increase, will, un less there is a radical change in our system of agriculture wear out the planting States within the next 20 or 60 years, and wo be oblige to abandon them or starve.” Dr. L. B. Mercer. [ 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. Yours. Sec, G. I). Harmon. Iliads Co , Miss., May, 1858.

Since then another case has be n decided which is of no little importance to the officers of the various city governments of this State. The facts of the case to which we allude were as follows: One Mr. Harriet E. Experience held a judgement against John A.

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.

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 chant, an additional clerk .atld book keeper is nec essary: and again, in the great hurry of business charges are sometimes forgotten to bo made.— These and all losses from whatever cause, have to be paid by .him who pays,at all.

Is this right / You say no 1 We, say yes, and for this reason, that by accepting credit yourself you agree to ihe system and hind yourself to abide the consequen ces of it. If the paying consumers in this State were to adopt the cash system they would save at least one-fifth, in the quantity and the lower pri ces at which they would buy 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. Constable and sheriff sales would he rare. Old family servants need not he deeded or sold-.Jtnany estates large and small should he kept from under the sheriffs hammer, to he a home for the widow and to be divided among the children as a pretty patrimony. The idle would have to emigrate starve or steal and be sent to Penitentiary— in either case the community, cursed by their pres ence would be rid of them. “How happy the peo ple, who arc in such a case.' 7 [Richmond F.nqnircr.

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.

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. W.S WILKINSON. B. Howard Rand, M. D., Franklin Peal, Esq., J. Aitken Meigs, M. 1). Old Barhriors. 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?

The plan was tho same that he pursued to the last — 11 is temptation began with the mulberry and silk-worm speculation, nineteen years ago, and under the garb of religion he lias for that long time carried on his dishonest plans.

No wonder he is a sick man—one whom, if the law does not reach, the grave will soon cover up. Nineteen years of fraud and crime, aud perpetrated iu the name of religion—with despair looking him in the face— exposure waiting for him at the corners of eacli street—with remorse gnawing at his heart—and the worm that dies not hastening to his repast!— Mr. Porter’s confession will soon be made public. 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. BY AUTHORITY.

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.

The reported ferrr in Netv Orleans.—Says tfic Savannah Xeies of tiie 3rd inst. 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 form, five or six years past, it commenced much earlier. Of this disease, itsays: “We have had the fever, and have escaped it; too, during the driest aud wettest seasons. NVe have had it and escaped it when the river was re markably high, and when it had reached to an un usual extent. NVe have been free from fever un der apparently tiie most favorapla conditions for its developement, mid have suffered severely from the scourge when tiie slate of the atmosphere and of tbe city seem to guarantee us agaiast a visita tion. All that we can do, therefore, in tiie prem ises. is to i-niiclu-le, with some show of probability that when we pass through the first half of July n ith no appearances of an epidemic, the proba bilities are great tiiat the summer will be healthy. This is is just our position now.” 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.

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.

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. SARAH SANDEUBEEY, St. Louis. I beg leave to corroborate the above statement of mv wife in every particular, and would further stub that after a long experience on the Western waters, I have never met with a medicine so well adapted for steamboat men and steamboat passengers ns the Pain Killer. I Lava found it valuable, und can confidently recommend it to all as a compound of inestimable value. 7 4t. For sale by Druggist*, and Grocer dealers gencr ally—John B.

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.
