We desire such of o tr subscribers as may at anv time wish the dircctio i ot thesr papers chan ged from one Post Odice to another, to inform ns, in all cases, of the place to which they bad been previously sent; as the mere order to tor waid them to a different office, places it almost outof our power,to comply,because we have no means of ascertaining the office from which they aru ordered to be changed, but a search through our whole subscription Book, containing scvei a thousand names. POSTAGE. It is a standing rule with tins office, as well as all others, that the postage of all letters and communications to tnc Editor or Proprietor must be paid. We repeat it again,—and re quest all persons having occasion to address us upon business connected in any way with th establishment, to bear it in mind. Persons wishing to become subscribers to the Standard of Union, are particularly requested to givethei attention to this; or they will not have the pa per forwarded to them. TO ADVERTISERS ABROAD. Persons, at a distance, who are desirous of giving their advertisements an extensive circulation, are respectfully informed that THE STANDARD OF UNION’ presents the means of spreading them before a larger number of readers than any paper in Geor gia, or perhaps in the Southern country, with but a single exception. There is not a State or Territory in the Union, to which it has not found its way; and scarcely a Post Office in this State w here it is not ta ken.

We Here in south lati.tide twenty d,-. grees, west longitude ten degrees cightcei iiiimtes, on our passage Iron) the Cap: lon it to St. Helena ; the ship was dashitie the sprat before her at the rate o! tenknet an hour; the •xiiitl was just abaft the beam and hardly enough of it to make a spai creak; every stitch of canvass uas set— not a gore ol it fluttered ; she looked beat - tifiil as the breeze brought her topside down to the ki<s of the I nboard war e, -and t e leeward rigging s'a ketied. I looked ni it the bellies < f the white sail, till I could ilrnost imagine, like Byron, that I was car ried away liy “ a thing of life.” A sailot can never call I i .'hip il. She is the onh pronoun w hi< h be cottld apply to his “ bon ny barque.” She is a sort of sweet-heari to Inm. The captain stood on the quarter deck, exit ting at Ins well-rigged clipper: his eyes sparkled again as the spray broke over the rotoghtrcc-rail, and the long wak< of eddies foamed abaft us. Really it wa a scene which made one’s soul glad. “Something on the starboard bow!” bawled out Sam Staysail, with the voice ol n Stentor. R-‘v as keeping a look-out on the forecast! •. Sam’s voice was of amaz- I ing force and volume, and every thing be ing as quiet as a mummy depot in one of the pyramids, when he hailed us with hi •right hand upon his lips for a speaking I trumpet, it startled us as much as if old Neptune had paid ns. a visit, and saluted u-> in the mild and subdued tone for which his ■ godship is proverbial. “Helm starboard!” exclaimed tlie captain to the man at the wheel. She answered her helm immediate ly. Tite sheets were handled, the sheaves creaked, the sails shivered, and the good ship hove to “in the twinkling of a tnarlin spike,” as one of the crew said, on observ ing the adroitness with which the evolution had been performed. “ Let go the boat and a couple of hands,” ordered the cap tain. The davits instantly seemed anima ted, two men were in the boat, and the da vit-falls running through the block in less time than is generally occupied in takings pinch of snuff. I took a telescope, and standing against the forepart of the poop, on the starhoard side, endeavored to descry the object which had been the cause of stop ping tts. I quickly observed something rising and falling with the wave, and ap proachtrig the ship. It was not a boat. As it neared us, I could perceive something a live on it. The living thing was a man, and he waved somethi g in his band. I soon discovered that it was a hen-coop on vyhich the poor wretch floated. “ Good Heaven!” I thought, “nothing but the wide Atlaniit, and wider heaven, for this poor end ure to gaze upon, and a hen coop the only thing of this world to which he clings to pn vent him from perishing ; nay, worse, that lien-coop Lis only oasis in this desert of walers, and even on that he seems but the prisoner of death, who, in stead of despatching him with a stroke of his dart, is gloating himself like a trucu lent tyrant, by gradually famishing his vic tim ere he devours him!’’ I thought of many of the horrors of shipwreck which I had heard ol", and my blood seemed to cur dle in my veins. All the passengers came upon deck. Among th’m (here was a cap tain of rt man-of-war, who had been picked tip by a vessel lhaf we had fallen in with,his own ship having foundered under most mysterious ciiyuntstances; this gentleman was going to England in our tessel as a passenger. He had described the horrors which he had endured previous to his h- tng picked tip, ami the whole of his dire'ul sto ry rushed vividly on my mind, as I gazed upon the wretch, who, with the instinctive love ol lib', and under the infl tence of hope, clung to two or three dea'-boards, ratiier than close liis miseries by in to eternity. The men in the boat soon re moved him from his perilous situation. I could perceive, as they pulled him into our boat, that he was too weak to stand. They laid him down carefully in the stern-sheets of the boat, and pulled towards the ship. They soon came along side, and ropes be ing linnded (low it, the tars kindly put their jackets round the poor fellow, and tinder his arm-pil-q and we slowly hoi-,led him up to the gangway, and ptilled Ilins inboard upon deck. i'amitt-.' had battened like a vulture upon his living fie.-h. He was a mere animated skeleton. His eves glared from the recess of thrir sockets, his cheek bones protruded almost through his yellow; skin, his lips were b'tie, his beard washing/, mid added to the hidcoustH'ss' of hi- ghast ly physiognomy. “Water! water!” ho exclaimed, open ing more widely his cye-1-jshes, the pupils of his eyes dil iting at the same lime ; “ for heaven’s sake, water !” Hi, lips seeiJed rigid ns he opened them t.i utter the stip/di cation', rind his lungs groaned, as it w-'re. with convulsm'f, as he inhaled the air that was expelled from them in ai fh-ulating it. We took him under the awning oiqthe quarter-deck. A little w ter in a biggin was bi might to him. O,heaven, 1 had no conception of what thirst is till that (mo ment ! His limbs quivered, as the previous fluid touched his lip.-. And, O the ex pression—the horrible expression of grti.i ficaiion that distorted his hardly hnmatl fea tures, as liis parched mouth and tijiroat were cooled by the delicious draught ! Every restorative that could be thought of, and obtained on board tiie vessel, was administered to the snflerer, and nt length sleep, nature’s soli restorer, kindly tshed her influence over him. lie slept i two hours. \\ hen he awoke, ! was Seated Mom by his side, IL- looked wildly ar inn I. “V, hat—where—who— where ami?” he incoherently exclaimed. “ h this a ship that the face of heaven? (), Q () d!” IL shut Ins eyes, and seemed abso bed in men tal prayer for a few minutes. I took his hand, and, with as mu li kn dne-s possible, ssked him if lie ttante I any thing, or if 1 co. Id do any thing lor him. He grasped ny hand tig Inly in bis hard but attenuatm fingers. “You are not a fiend!” he ex- I tinted, gazing on me with a pltrenzied look. “No, no, mv dear fellow,” 1 replied, ‘a friend who wishes to si rve you.” H •rasped my hand still tighter, and pie sei: tto his bosom. I saw a tear Toll d e.vn hi 'ank clti-e! . The st ward of tl e vessel 'assittg at the moment, I sent him for a shir >f mine, and two or three articles of dress, •nongh to cover humanity in those tropical regions. The steward brought them. I had given my pattent a little wine and wa ter, ami sopped a piece of bread in it,w hich with much difficulty, he Lal swallowed. I Lite 1 him tip on my arm; the moisture line evaporated from his garments, and left th s It crystals in every fold. J, with inuel difficulty, stripped him—his back had evi dent’y bten lacerated bv that a cursed in s’rti uent of torture, the cat-a’-nine-tail ; ‘ls your back pamfttl?” 1 enquired. IL shook his head in agony, and replied, “It is, sir, very, very painful.” I conchtdei he had been (logged for some act of critni utility, and that an allusion to bis flagella tion would most likely occasion a hittei augmentation of his st fl' rings. After I h id clad him comfortably, and put him inti my o vn cot, lie seized my h ind, and kissing it, said, “ I fear, sir, I am not long here.” ! cheered him, and told him that 1 could sic he was an Englishman, and thnj I hoped in a lew weeks lie would see the while cliff' and green fields of his native land. “Ne ver! never!” he responded with a sigh; “ I have seen my poor father, who died when I was a boy, and fiends were lashing me with scorpions—you,drove them away.” I was airaid that he was becoming deliri ous, and therefore stopped him. I assur ed him that he had slept, and dreamed ol those things, it No, no, no !” he ejacu lated quickly. “ I know they will seize me!” I endeavored to tranqnilize him. He seemed grateful for my kindness, re peatedly pressed my hand to his lips and wept. At length be said, “O, sir, my hour is come—l am a murderer!” “Pro vidence!” I exclaimed, “how mysterious are thy dispensations! murderer thus rescued from the oblivious grave of the unfathomable deep, to confess his crime, and, perhaps, expiate it on a gallows in the country of his birth!” I involuntari ly shrank from him, and would hiive stood at a distance, but he would not let go inv hand.' “ Sit down,” he said in an agony—-“sit down—l will tell yon all.” I sat down, my mind at the time experiencing a con flict between horror and curiosity, which it would require a more graphic pen than mine to describe. “I am a dying murder er,” be groaned, and seemed unable to proceed. “O, sir,” he added, “do not look at me in pity, but promise me you w’iil not divulge my story.” I promised that I would not. “But why not?” he said, “ I shall be in th deep!” He paus ed—a conflict of the most agonizing des cription was evidently passing in his breast. lie turned to me. and seizing me by the arm w ith his li ft hand—his right hand at the same time squeezing mine—-appealed as if he had concentrated all the energy which his suffering had left him; “lam a murderer, a dying murderer—but heaven —no, no, il was revenge—never; n,.ver—” ( besought him to be calm, and asgtirei! him that the gates of heaven were shut on ly to the finally impenitent, lie wept. He then proceeded—“O, sir, I have been the means of sending hundreds of my fellow Creatures to their account before their tithe;” He shuddered as he tittered this; and (Ring his eyes on Vacuity, his lips quiver ed, his tpnguii' moted, but he uttered not a word. I thought he communed with th" Almighty Parent of universal humanity; and I dropped on my knees, and besought my God, of his infinite mt r-y, to pardon him.
