MISS Ki MULE.
Wo Messrs. Giles $?■ Sraton:
Gentlemen, you will oblige ona of your sub
scribers by inserting thmfollo-.vingextract and the
Explanation appended to in
Extract from Mrs. Frames Aar - Butler's Jour
nal, pal. !i,p. Jill.
“As I came rushing along the Corridor, I met
P « coming to meet inn, wi.o exclaimed,
With an air of miaglpd horror and satisfaction,
‘■Oh, here you are!—Herds Coffee Mr.
waiting lor you.” 1 went into the room, and
(bund a goodly looking personage, old enough
to know better, sitting with my father who ap
peared amazingly disturbed, held an open letter
10 his hand and exclaimed the moment I came
in, “There, Sir, there is theyonng lady to speak
for herself.” I courtsied, and sat dowu. “rail
in',” quoth my father, something particularly
disagreeable has occurred—pause, can you call
to mind any thing you said during the course of
your Thursday’s ride, which was likely to Ur
offensive to Mr. , or any tiling abusive of
tiffs country.’”
As I have already had sundry specimens of
flic great talent there Is for tattle in the exclusive
coteries of this gossiping new world. I mrrelv
untied my bonnet, and replied, that 1 did uot at
Yhatjmoment recollect a word that (had sjiddtirmg
tuy whole ride and should certainly give myself
•my trouble to do so- “Now, my dear, said my
father, his own eyes flashing witii indignation,
" don't pntyourselfiuto a passion,compose your
self and recollect. Here is a letter 1 have just
received.” He proceeded to read it, and the
contents were to this effect, that during my
ride with Mr. [ hud said I did not choose
to ride ail American gentleman's horse, and kail
offered him lira dollars for the litre of his. that
moreover I had spoken mn.it derog-
tttorily of America and American’s, in conse
quence of all which if my father did not give
some explanation, or make some apology to the
public, I should certainly have been hissed off
liie stage as soon as I appeared oil it that even
ing- This was pleasant, I stated the conversa
tion as it had passed, adding that as to any sen
timents a person might express on any subject,
liberty of opinion, and liberty of*speech, were
alike rights which belonged to every body and
that, with a due regard to good feeling and good
■breeding, they were rights which nobody ought
•mil I never would forego.
Mr. — opened his eyes. I longed to
*dd that any conversation between mo and any
other person was nobody’s business but mine,
-and his or hers, and that the whole tiling was on
-the part of the young gentleman concerned, the
greatest piece of blackguardism, and on that of
the old gentleman concerned, the greatest piece
of twaddle, that it had ever been my fortune to
bear of. “For,” said Mr. , -not less than
fifty members of Congress have already men
tioned the matter to me.” Fifty old gossiping
tnen! Why the whole thing is for all the world
like a village tattle in England, among half a
dozen old wives round their teapots. All Wash
ington was in dismay, and my evil deeds and
evil words were the town talk—fields, gaps,
marshes and all, ran with them. This is an
agreeable circumstance, and a display of nation
's] character highly entertaining and curious.”
The intention of the fair authoress in this little
TVIelpomenead, is evidently to maae her readers
believe, that she was intruded upon by an olii-
doos twaddling old gentleman in relation to “a
f iece of blackguardism!!!*’ of which she had
I een the object; and I must confess that, in des
pite of the scene’s being a good deal indebted to
Iter very lively imagination, l immediately recog
nized it on reading the passage. Ami indeed
Unless Mrs. Frances Anne Butler, in getting up
fins Rifaccimento of i, I Us Fanny Kemble’s Dia-
~J, has takcu some of me Mr. thanks m it (fatigu
ing number) and stuck them in the wrong places,
making them play parts that were not cast for
them, 1 am -somewhat disposed to believe that
<ke Mr. —. further specified as “old gentle
man,” was intended asn personification of my
self, though I have much satisfaction in reflecting
that I feel, during this lapse of two years and a
quarter, much younger than 1 appeared to be in
Miss Fanny’s critical eyes. Upon that occasion
l figure a*a “goodly looking personage, old
enough to know better, sitting with my father.”
When Mi.-, Kemble says,she thought me good
ly looking, it is more than I could have exnec!»d
fioiu a person of her sublimated taste, and is so
indulgent that 1 am afraid it is not true; and
when she says I was “old enough to know bet
ter,” that is so distressingly true, that it is ex
tremely severe, for scarce an hour passes but I
*eel, notwithstanding my advanced age, that life
ebbs away iu the struggle to acquire hut a small
portion of the immense mass to he known. In
lius sense I was then, as I am now old enough to
linow better. But she says “old enough to know
wetter, sitting with my father.” Now some per
sons may suppose from this manner of describ
es me, that I was some octogenarian son of
i espsis who had had the presumption to sit down
m the presence of the Aristocracy of the Green
Room, and therefore I come to the explanation
of what I was doing there, and really what was
done premising first, lest I should be mistaken
<or Muthesaleh, that if Miss Kemble, desirous of
enlightening her readers about my age, had said
. 11 twelve years younger than her father
*t would have been quite .correct.
Soon after the arrival of the Kembles in this
country, I received, whilst on an excursion to the
couth, some letters by mail from Inglaud from
eomo esteemed friends, requesting me to take an
interest in their welfare, and from a distinguished
public character* with whom I have been long inti
mate,introducing them to me iu the warm’st terms
«ind desiring me to show them every attention in
my power. I happened to be at Washington in
January, 1833, when they arrived, and upon
•heir arrival met Mr. Kelhble at dinner at the
Hospitable table of the geutleman who then had
charge of the British legation. Air. K. and my-
were seated next to each other, and he in-
vqrmed me that he bail brought letters ofintroduc-
lion to ina and had forwarded lliem by mail —
r i hese were amongst the letters I had received!—
ufc next morning when I called with my family,
•hey were out, and we left cards. Desirous if
uemg useful to h er in the only way I could bo of
service, by assisting to fill the boxes with my
Jamily and friends, I took unwearied pains to do
*°> employing every friendly otlico to procure her

w ished to be of essential service to her; for du

and interrupt tho performance. I was very
much concerned to learn this. I had read an
account of the expulsion of un actor from the
stage at New York for some inconsiderate ro-
niitrks which perhaps hail been exaggerated,
and, being uncertain what the sosuh might be,
1 went to acquire more prooise information.—
Before I had dined, I was made acquainted with
tho alleged state of tho case from one who had
it directly from the uggrived party. This was
the statement:
Mi.-s K. was in the habit of ruling in lho mor
ning And complained of the horses which were
prov ided for her. Air. . obligingly sent
ii.-i one of his horses, was presented to her, ami
joined the party for the ride. From her conver
sation it was inferred that she mistook him for an
Englishmen, and indulged iu remarks about the
gentlemen of this country, not at all calculated
to please an American. Amongst oilier things,
it tv.is ahedged she had said she did not like to ho
under any obligation or responsibility lor anoth
er person’s horse, and should send him
the usual amount of hack hire for tho use of the
horse. These things existed in the mind of
Mr. , as so many realities,and were pro
edited accordingly. And in consequence ol his
having told tha story to his acquaintances, it was
stated to mo that tliero would he a party at tho
Theatre to hiss her.
Lavas well acquainted with Air.
had endeavoured in vain to find him. 1 was

■ m>i nun«>.....,.u i.i . ...u .u ....„ ......• 1 WHS
sure there was some misapprehension, and from
his known good qualities, believed he would be
disposed to put a favorable eqnsuuction upon
what he had supposed her to have said, if ho
could be spoken with in time. Immediately al
ter dinner I went towards his lodgings, and in
passing Gadsby's doora-avv Air. Kemble coming
out with a letter in hi* hand. He came to me
and said, “ I am exceedingly glad to see you, as
I have just got an annoying annonymous letter
about my daughter, and unfortunately she is not
at home." Tailing his arm. we walked up tile
street a little way together, when he read me the
letter, and I related to him what l had heard.—
The letter was a vulgarly conceived production
as anonymous letters generally are, and was evi
dently not written by a friend or a gentleman —
But time was pressing, it was half past five, the
curtain was to rise a little after sevemtho story as
usual was getting wotveaud worse,and the mostef
ficient way, which occurred to me to prevent a
serioasu disturbance at tho Theatre, was to have
Air. —. there, ready, upon occasion, to say
that lie was perfectly satisfied.
But Mr. Kemble though; it best I should see
his daughter first, hear explanation, an I act
accoruingjy. I, therefore, returned with him to
Gadsby’s and went'to his parlour, vvgere vv sat
talking with Mss Dc Camp until her neiie, Miss
Kemble, arrived. She came about, six. and af
ter some little conversation about her rids, her
father broke tha subject to her, and desired
her to relate what had taken place during the
ride on Thursday. I also told her I was very
much interested in saving her from any indignity
and that could best be done by her recollecting
precisely what iiad been said. She then procee
ded in her narrative, and gave me the most une
quivocal assurances that she had not hazarded
any disrespectful remark about the geutlemcuof
this country, and that what she said about send
ing Mr. . money for riding his horse, was
intended as a pleasantry. I was quite satisfied,
from Miss K’s manner, that she had been wrong
ed in this affair, and iu taking my leave, express
ed my confidence, that she would certainly tri
umph over any vulger attempt to injure or an-
uov her.
ilor father was profuse in his acknowledge
ments for the solicitude which I had expressed,
and to judge from Miss Kemble’s manner to me,
she did not then long to lie so very uncivil as she
now supposes she did; for certainly.on taking mn
leave, 1 thought her manner was that ofawomay
who perfectly understood the friendliness of my
motives. To bring this narrative to a close, I
merely add that I took the steps that I thought
most proper, that I went early to the Theatre,
communicated Miss Kemble’r unequivocal deni
al to every one I knew, and so disposed matters
rapiJly to tlio summit of his profession. He
was exceedingly intimate with llnron Jns Roths
child whose speculations he is supposed to have
essentially served, hv rnnuuunic.atiug to him at
the epoch of the Duke of Berry’s death and limr
hours m advance of that event, the oeruunty that
it would happen.
Al. Uupuytren’s death, at the ngo of 5ft years,
was hastened it is said by domestic chargins,
“ Let my heart,” said he on his death bed, “ be
examined, there will ho found the seat of my
malady,the illjurev produced by my chagrins and
troubles.” We are not at all aware of the nature
of these troubles—though his sensitiveness to tho
stricture* of the nublic press on the liieility with
which ho udiipted his political creed to the rul
ing powers of the day, may we suppose, bo
numbered among them. Tlie size both of the
brain and heart of M. Dupuytrcn, as ascertained
alter death was remarkable. The brain, even
after having partially dried up weighed two
pounds and fourteen oz. ; tho heart which was
large, weighed 20 oz., tlieordinary weight being
about Id os.

THE CANAL.

preventing tha indecent practice of persons bath
ing in the Canal? If they have not, will those who
have, put a stop toil? The bank.) of the Canal
have been a resort for the Ladies, as a walk, and
would still be resorted to; but from this exposure,
they are deprived of tlie recreation. The res
pect due to decency, demands an immediate hin
drance of this practice; and those who ore vested
with the authority, are expected to take immedi
ate steps to prevent it.
KAIL HOAD.
We had uot time yesterday to call the atten
tion of the reader to the proceedings of the
Rail Road Committee, appointed by Council—
it has doubtless been observed. So far as ottr
~ -■ knowledge extends in the appointment of the
that the slightest disturbance would have been ! ,,, t. . . . ,
.. .. . ,, ... Commissioners, tliey have been tudiciou* and
promptly put down. And before their return to ] . . • J j
Philadelphia,'which took place immediately after- 11 ls ‘ ,0 P 0< * and expected that no gentleman who
wards, I wrote to a geutleman the precise facts has been appointed, will hesitate for a moment
of the case,that the story, when it got there,might
have no resting place. He took active measures
to vindicate her, and the base attempt that was
made to injure her there, produced a fine re-ac
tion in her favor.
Never having thought of this gifted young per
son but with kindness midunpriibatitm, and ren
scions that I have never des"rved thatshc should
seriously sit down to draw an unamiuble picture
of me, I am at a loss to discover any motive for
her conduct that is consistent with the good feel
ing and good breeding, which at least she can
write about. It is no extenuation of the offence
to he designated anonymously. Had she exhibi
ted my name at full length to the picture her fan
cy has drawn, I should not hare needed to vindi
cate myself, but, in descending to anonymous
practices, she concentrates the whole force of the
offence in individual feeling.aml poisons the sour
ces of individual benevolence towards her.
I thmk I can perccivo tlie true application of
all of her supercilious mistatemenU m the habits
which histrionic minds, even of the first stamp,
contract during their phantasniagorian existence.
These extravagant deviations are unknown a-
mongst the gentle females who adorn domestic
and social life. But behind the scenes—thatse-
pulchre where a portion of Immunity is as it were
entombed alive, and all the chords of sympathy
cut oft'between us—it is far otherwise. There
at an age when other girls shrink from the gaze
of man, these young stars have already been with
in the gripe of alt sorts of amatory and sentimen
tal heroes, wearing all sortr of wigs and whiskers
aud have arrived at the knowledge of how to re
present .Mrs. Haller and Jane Shore, before they
have left off the propensity to bread uod butter.
Thus all true womanly feeling is deadened, and
the actress forever separated from the gentle
woman.
But having tints made a firmament for them
selves, distinct from ours,the big stars are not sat-
isfied with preventing their own little ones from
twinkling; they would fain—seeing us so credu
lously disposed to believe them all we would wish
them to be—make ns believe thatthey belong to a
class of noble bodies fitted to illuminate a system
of realties; and so duped are they by the caresses
they get from bon tongt home.for the amusement
they afford it, that the moment they embark on
shipboard, they fully persuade themselves that the
Desdemona which is lost by their native land is a
gam of a Duchess at least to this.
And thus we arecalled upon to give our mon
ey, our time, and all our sympathies, freely—and
we do give them—to a nobility by candle-light,
which affects to look down uponthe quiet portion
of mankind, except when full houses are wanted.
We shall (earn in time. In the interim I admit
we iliay freely give our approbation to those who
avail themselves of tlie lirst eligible opportunity
to escape from the stage dressing room, and take
relnge in the private boxes of private life.
“Air. , the old gentleman.”
Dnpuytren.—Tois eminent French surgeon
who died recently at Pari* leaving a I'urepean
name aud a fortune of seven millions of francs
was a |ioor country boy. While playing in the
streets of his native town (Pine Butters, in the
department of Haute Pin nr,,) lie attracted the
attention of anolficer of cavalry, whose regiment
was marching through.
Struck as it is poetically expressed in the hi-
ographical sketch whence we derive these par
ticulars with “ me expression tl'iwcnir," in his
physiognomy, a phrase feebly rendered by saw
ing ‘the promise of his countenance”—the of
ficer proposed to and prevailed on him to accom
pany linn to Paris, and thus was the future emi
nent surgeon by accident thrown at twelve years
ol age upon tho field ofliis future fame. He be
came at oiicq a student cf medicine and attained
to discharge the duty, and that with all efforts to
promote such a desirable an object, not only to
the interest of his county, but to the pride of
this State.
We sav that the Committee has been judi-
diciotis in theif appointment of Commissioners,
because they did not stand to study the political
principles of this or that man, but selected those
who, in their judgment, would giveittheiratten.
tion and use all industry in the discharge of the
dnties assigned them. So it cannot be consul
ored a Van Boron or White Rail Road. But
should the object so desirable, not be effected
from tho want of enternri/.e in our citizens, or
their fear of embarking in it, it will then he
looked upon by those abroad as a black failure,
but on the other hand, shoultl it succeed, where
is tlie citizen who would not rejoice and he
proud that he could boast of having assisted
its erection; a result which we would engage to
get blue on. ,
But apart from all these blade and blue coil
Biderations, let the citizens of Savannah on tho
1st of June next, go into it with spirit, and let
every one who can lay out the amount, gubscribi
for as many shares as his means will admit of.
We give it as our opinion that should this con
templated Rail Rond ho completed to the point
calculated upon, that it will yield as handsome
a dividend as any Stock in this State; that it can
so he completed, does not admit of a doubt, if
tne citizens will but exert themselves and he liberal
in subscribing for Shares. We have sufficient
capitalists amongst us to send it ahead; thereby
the fears of some gentlemen for the responsi
bility of the city, would ba relieved. Let tho
watchword be “Rail Road,” and let no man
slumber on his post, nut all go to the work on
the lirst of June with liberal feelings and warm
hearts, hoping for its success. God speed it.

Kcsolned, That tlie City Marshal do forthwith
proceed to remove tho obstructions pointed out
by tho City Surveyor’s Map, in his report Mill
May, 1833, by the Estate of Telfair, on the street
running from tho West corner of Williamson’s
stores to the wall on the Steoinboat Company’*

in said line, unless thoso iu possession will in

The Committee to whom was referred tho let
ter of the Jailor on tho subject of commitments
beg leavo so report,
That they liavo visited tho Jail,and tho prison
ers confined there. From the evidence before
them, and the best information they could obtain
your Committee are of opinion that persons are
often committed without just ami sufficient cause-
1'lie individuals so committed are generally sailors
ami indolent people,who are often intoxicated A
always noisy. In this situation a foolish and un
thinking threat of violence is magnified into a
settled determination to injure, and an affidavit
to that effect, with the payment of a certain
amount ensures a warrant ami consequent con
finement. If the party accused, and the one of
fending, were permitted to go away, or directed
to return after twelve or twenty-four hours for
the purpose of examination, it is probable they
never again would think of what had happened,
and the case would end. This desirable termin
ation, however, is prevented by the officious in
terference offriends, or the want of proper feel
ing on the part of tho Justice, or perhaps both,
and imprisonment follows. In fact, your Com
mittee believe it susceptible of proof, that the of
ficers themselves are often instrumental in
bringing about these differences, and encourage,
rather than suppress them, and should this he
true, it is a grievance that calls loudly lor redress,
and no officer guilty of so gross a dereliction of
duty, should for a moment be permitted to retain
his station. These people are geuerally pau
pers, and unable to pay their expenses, the bur
then of their .support therefore falls on the Cor
poration. It will bo the object of your Commit
tee in their report to oiler some plan by which
tins tax shall he taken from the Corporation and
placed where it belongs, and also to afford oma
s alutary check to the system too much pursued of
granting commitments for frivolous pretences
It is a principle of law, that so long at act rests in
bare intention, it is not punishable: The Justi-
cos, however, your committee think, are warrant
ed in committing for an intent to violate the
peace under the Act of December 24th, 1327.—
Notwithstanding this authority, your committee
cannot believe that it was tho intention of the
framer* to affect individuals in the condition a-
bove stated. Your Couimttee would therefore
recommend that tho Recorder of tho City he
specially instructed to examine tha Jail calendar
on the first days ofthu terms respectively of theSu
perior&IuferiorCourtsof Chatham County,& of
the Court of Common Pleas and Over and Ter
miner, with a view to enforce the provisions of
the law of tho 24th December, 1827, relating to
peace bonds, and that it shall ho made tho duty
of‘’'3 Jailor to furnish, oil all such d ivt, a Jai|
calendar to the Recorder. Regularity in so pro
ceeding,the Committee think will go far to reme
dy the evil; for the Judges will look widi cars to
the bonds given by prosecutors and see that tne
Justices take the necessary security. The term
“costs and expenses” in the law is sufficient to
warrant a judgment by the Court that a malicious
or frivolous prosecutor should pay the jail fees o
onetniproperlyimprisoned.and one or two exam
pleswould deter persons from lending themselves
t o the attainment of such warrants. Raspectly sub
mitted. AMDS SCUDDER.
M. HOPKINS.
Itesolned, That tlie Committee of the Jail call
on His Honor Judge Nicoll, and lay before him
tho Report of tho Jail Committee, and the abuse
of the right of imprisonment, and to request him
io lay the same before the Grand Jury, in his
charge, at the opening of tho next Superior
Court, and request said Body to appoint.! special
Committee to examine into Haid abuses.
The Committee to whom was referred the se-
lection ofaplau fora Lazaretto, outoftho.se pre
sented to Council for acceptance,
Report, that they have taken groat pains in
the examination of the several plans, all of which
are well executed and arranged, and reflect much
credit on the parties; but your Committee, in
their scrutiny, have looked well to the probable
costofthe Buildings; and with this view, have
unanimously agreed in giving the preference to
the plan of Mr. G. E. Williams, as costing less in
completion, and tlie arrangement* of the interior
being in their opinion, fully adequate to the pur
poses intended, and better suited to the climate
Ilian either of tlie others. Tliey therefore rccom-
mepd its acceptance by Council.

The Committee to whom was referred the
communication of Air. John Powell, of 16th

That, whilst this Committee entertain the motd
favorable opinion of the efficacy of Mr. Powell’s
hydraulic instriimc.it, they deem it inexpedient
for the city to adopt it, inasmuch as the Commit
tee believe the city to be- well supplied at tho
present time with a sufficiency of good water to
meet any emergency-that besides tho expense
of its application, your Committee think that the
pipes through which tho water must pass, being
constructed of wood, would render the wate
equally as impure, and perhaps less pleasing

the people. The letter alluded to, we have no

ABUSE OF THE PARDONING POWER.
Wo understand that during tho late term of
the Superior Courts iu Cass county, a man
known to he a good Lumpkin man by the name
of Riley, was indicted for the offence of an as- SELLINGS OFF POSITIVELY^
sault with intent to murder. Wo also learn that TO CLOSE UP STORE. *
the circumstances developed in evidence, pre- A BENNETT, intending to cloae up store
*ented a case of the most flagrant character, fm.* in Savannah, (for tlie summer months {
without one mitigutingoircumstance in extenua- very shortly, will sell his splendid stock of fresh
tion. This attempt at murder was committed Fancy Goods, at very reduced prices, for rush
on a Cherokee, within his own enclosure, hy the either by wholesale oa retail, and at as low prices
name ot Andrew Adair. The pettij jury how- as the lowest. Those who wish to purchase fresh
•ever convicted him of an assault anil battery, goods, at very low rates, will find itto tlieir inter-
It appeared in evidence that the weapon used est to call soon, and make their selections, at No.
was a shot gun, which the defendant discharged 1. Young’s Buildings,
at Adair, who was hiinsell unarmed. The
Court sentenced Riley to thirty days iniprisou-
in mt and fined him fifty dollars, qij’ Hiart not
gentle reader! In eight days from his sentence
he was released from his punishment, by the
pardon of the Governor.
Thus the very man who arraigned Judge
Hooper for obstructing the execution of the
laws in the Cherokee Circuit—this very man
has himself exhibited a perfect contempt, of the
wholesome restraint of crime, by freely pardon
ing tlie offender, and thereby set at naught the
judgment of the Court. Indeed this imprudent
exercise of the pardoning power, and we use
the mildest term for the uet, is well calculated to
influence the lawless and turbulent, to the com
mission of this class of offences. It is in etl’ect
saying to them, you have nothing to apprehend
from the rebuke of jurors for tne punishment I
for violated law, I, VVilson Lumpkin, will pro- j
tect yon from the consequences of both by tlie
exercise of the pardoning power, particularly if
the I’roieoutor lie a Cherokee,and you canyhow
yourselves to bj political friends. How long
will such glaring abuses of public trust be toler I
died/ How long will the people submit to these
things?
