Ice !
Last season the competition between the ice
houses in this city enabled consumers to purchase
ice at one and a half cents per pound. The old
fee Company have made no arrangements to ob
tain a supply;" in fact, we understand that they
have sold out their ice house, and closed their busi
ness. The public will not probably purchase ice
quite so cheap during the approaching warm
w tther as thev were enabled to do last summer.
Vw is the time to enquire into this matter. A
little spirited competition is not undesirable for
the consuming masses..

that the interest felt in South Carolina in the fu

feminine patriotism have we had! It was a work
noble in conception, conducted with an archness
of design that pleased while it succeeded, and car
ried out with that modesty which is the loveliest
virtue of their sex. There was no parade of names
as characterize the assemblies of men, and yet a
substantial service was done. Would that the
sturdier sex might imbibe a useful lesson front this
direct way of carrying out an undertaking, and let
our enemies he ever so vigilant, strong and bitter,
our cause would never suffer. To these young la

Bible Lore in Missouri.
A Co; respondent of the St. Louis Republican,
w nting from Jetferson City, gives an amusing de
scription of a trial which recently come oft at that
pla. in wiii h all the counsel engaged rank high
at the Missouri bar. Although lawyers were never
considered remarkable for their erudition in the
Scriptures, urges the editor of the Republican, yet
such unpardonable neglect of the Holy Book, as
the counsel in the case exhibited, calls for prompt
action upon the part of the American Bible Socie
ty, or greater Sunday school facilities. Here is
the letter:
A few days since, I was serving as a juror in a
case of slander. Three of our most imminent
lawyers were engaged—one for the plaintiff’, the
others for defendant. The counsel attempted to
impeach the veracity of one of the witnesses—an
old man named Mavhew. They failed entirely,
and when the counsel for plaintiff came to sum up
the evidence, said : “Gentlemen of the jury, the
counsel on the opposite side have endeavored to
impeach the veracity and destroy the character of
the witnesses, and particularly of my old friend
Alayhew. 1 must confess gentlemen, I trembled
for "my old friend, when the senior counsel for de
fendant, with his stern countenance, demanded of
the old man whether he had not told a different
story to his neighbors, and introduced Mr. Harris
to prove it. But, gentlemen, he failed utterly
failed ; and my old friend Mavhew came out un
s -athed. Vos, gentlemen, like Panic! of old , out
of the lion s dm, without a hair of his head having
been singtd."
This excited the risibles of those familiar with
the authority quoted; but some very broad grins
were seen when the senior counsel for defendant
rose, and remarked to his hearers, “That his friend,
the counsel for plaintiff’, had not quoted correctly
the passage from the higher law ; that he had
read and heard much of Daniel, but that was the
nrst. time he had ever heard of his /n ine/ in the lion's
den."
All was silence, however, compared with the
roar when the junior counsel made his reply. In
alluding to the remarks of plaintiff' s counsel, he
said: "Mv worthy friend on the other side is not
quite as familiar with the volumes of the higher
law as he is with those of Clotty and of Blackstone,
or he would not have attempted to release his
friend Mavhew from the lion's den without having
a hair of His head singed. Unlike my senior, I hare
heard of Daniel being in the lion’s den ; but until
to-day, 1 never heard that his roaring majesty made
use of fire. My worthy friend has, 1 suppose,
mixed up the escape of Daniel from the lion's deii
with the passage of XJnichadnezzir through the
nerg furnance, who had not a hah singed:’"
One good effect has resulted from this trial. Ma
ny who were present, and others who have since
heard the above, have been conning their Bibles;
and, as an instance, i will mention that 1 went into
the post office after the trial, where I found two
old gray-headed codgers husilv engaged in hunt
ing up the places referring to the passage of Shad
rach, Mesheck and Abednogo through the lien
furnace, uud the escape of Daniel from the lion's
den. When 1 entered, they were about to give up
the search in despair, one of them saving he thought
it was not in the Bible; that they had thumbed
trom Ist Genesis to last Jeremiah, and could find
no such names.
Some of these gentlemen would uo doubt he as
good commentators of the higher law, as manv of
those ministers who pretend to find their authority
for the use of Sharpe’s riff- s.
Should these limbs ot the law again attempt to
explore unknown regions, 1 shall wish, as did the
writer of John Gilpin's story,
•• Mav 1 be there to see.’’
Bealtifi i. Extract. —The late eminent Judge,
Sir Allen Bark, once said at a public meeting ]
“We live in the midst of blessings until we are ut
terly insensible of their greatness, and of the
source whence they flow. We speak of our civili
zation. our arts, our freedom, our laws, and forget
entirely how large a share is due to Christianity.
Blot Christianity out of man’s history, and what
could his laws have been —what his civilization ?
Christianity is mixed up with our very being and
verv life; there is not a familiar object around you
which does not wear a different aspect, because
the light of Christian love is on it. Not a law
which does not owe its truth and gentleness to
Christianity—not a custom which cannot he
traced, in all its holy and healthful parts, to the
Gospel.
Generous Confidence.
A candidate of a party is the exponent of the
principles of that party. It is presumed, as a
matter of course, that lie professes and maintains j
those principles. His triumph or defeat is the tri
umph or defeat of those principles. The idea that
a man would be allowed to accept the nomination
of a party, and at the same time repudiate the
principles of the party nominating him, is an ab
surdity.
On the other hand, the proposition is equally
absurd that one party could be induced to support
the candidate of another party, and at the same
time repudiate the principles of the party nomi
nating. That such stultification could take place
among an intelligent and thinking people, is one
of the absurdities of politics yet to come to pass
in our country.
Vet precisely this proposition is embraced in the
following suggestions of the Wilkes Republican:
“Nominees and Platforms. — How is it possible
to support the nominee of a party without advoca
ting its platform? is a question propounded to us.
The answer is plain ; if the candidate is honest,
capable, faithful to the Constitution, and is willing
to accord equal justice to every section, to defend
the rights of all citizens everywhere, it is sufficient
to entitle him to the support of all to whom the
interests of their country are dearer than the in
terests of party. If a candidate professes to be
rove rued bv this standard, and his acts correspond
with his profession, he is safe to trust with the
reins of government. No matter what his abstract
opinions may be, whether favorable or unfavorable
to particular policy or religions, whether sectional
or otherwise, such a man will be very far from car
rying them into practice, and, holding office, will
be national in his acts.
“.Such a man we believe Fillmore to be, if he is
the same man lie was, and that remains to be dis
covered. He has shown his honesty, his capacity
and impartiality by his acts; he has been tried
and not been found wanting. Where is the diffi
culty in supporting him on his own merits, upari
from bogus platforms®’’
Now, if Mr. Fillmore accepts the Know Nothing
nomination at Philadelphia, he must accept ttie
platform laid down by the Grand Council of the
Know Nothing party, whose legitimate function it
was to enunciate the principles of the organization.
Mr. Fillmore, being a Third Degree member of
the Order, will, if he accepts, of course be the ex'
ponent of the principles of his party.
Can any man or party vote for him without, by
so doing, sanctioning the platform on which he
stands, thereby giving to it all the moral aid and
countenance of such an indorsement? That is clearly
impossible. Whether so intended or not, such a
vote will be the recognition of the correctness of
the platform.
That Mr. Fillmore would he so base as to betray
ilie party that elected him to office, we are unpre
pared to believe. That he is weak, timid, and
wanting in those high elements of character neces
sary to resist the demands of fanaticism and the
outward pressure which sectional bigotry would
bring to bear upon him, we do believe, and we
look upon this as the great deficiency of the man.
But we do not believe him capable of a deliberate
fraud upon those who place him in nomination for
tlie Presidency. He has not the nerve to he so
base. He would not he so base if he had the
nerve.
Vet the V ilkes Republican is willing to extend
to him the “generous confidence" of believing that
he would prove traitor to the anti-slavery senti
ments which presided over the deliberations of
llie Nominating Convention, and repudiated the
twelfth section from the creed of the Fillmore
and Donelson party.
How far the Know Nothings of Georgia will par
ticipate iu this “generous confidence” we have no
certain means of knowing. We deem it due, how
-ver, to so large a portion of our fellow citizens of
Georgia to express our emphatic belief that few of
'hem are capable of such folly.
Looking back to the pledges and solemnly de
lated sentiments of the party in Georgia, we see
an irreconcilable antagonism between it and the
Convention which recently assembled in Philadel
phia.
Let us look to the past action of the Know Noth
ing party of Georgia, and see what are some of its
principles and its pledges. Let us, also,see the re
lations which ought to exist between it and these
supporters of Fillmore and Donelson us deduced
front the action of this late Philadelphia Conven
tion.
In June, 1855, the Know Nothing Convention,
if the State of Georgia, met and declared its prin
iples. Among the resolutions was the following :
Resolved, 6. That this Council > while repudiating
lie policy of allowing in future legislation of the
•ouutrv, unnaturalized foreigners to vote in Ter
ritorial elections) regards all opposition to the
principles of the Nebraska-Kunsas act, in relation
o slavery as hostility to the constitutional rights
if the South ; and ait persons who partake of such
ippositiou as unfit to he members of the American
party.
What is the language of the Fillmore and
Donelson Convention on this point?
14th. Opposition to the reckless and unwise poli
cy of the present Administration * * as
-iiown in re-opening sectional agitation, by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, Ac.
How did this present Administration re-open
this sectional agitation? By sanctioning the Ne
braska-Kansas bill. How did it repeal the Mis
souri Compromise? By sanctioning the Xcbras
ku-Kausas bill.
Here then is the Fillmore Convention denounc
ing that act, and the Georgia Know Nothing Con
vention declaring opposition to its principles, “as
h osiUitg against the constitutional rights of the South.”
With which convention will the renders of the
Wilkes R<publican, co-operate?
Again, the Georgia Know Nothing Convention
:ii Milledgeville in December last, after enuncia
ting strong Southern Rigiits principles, and sunc
i toning the repeal of the Missouri Compromise re
striction, adopted the following resolution :
9. We instruct our delegates to the National
Convention to insist upon the adoption of the fore
going principles in spirit and substance before go
ing into a nomination, and that the nominee he
rledged. to carry out the same in good faith in the
edministration of the Government and the appoint
ments to office.
The delegates appointed did not attend the
Philadelphia Convention. But it seems they sent
a communication to that Convention. How was it
treated ? The Convention refused to hear it read,
it most cavalierly and contemptuously passed it
hv, although a member from Pennsylvania called
for the reading of it.
Are the Georgia Know Nothings in the face of
this treatmeut"prepared to tack themselves on to
the tail of this Convention and adopt its nominees
as their candidates ? We believe there are thou
sands who will indignantly scorn to occupy such a
position —a position which they would consider
both violative of their duty as Southern men, and
degrading to them as gentlemen.
At Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, there is

spangled with the splosh the horses fiing, and
wiping off the yellow flecks, they swear like anv

The Steamer Pacific—ls She Lost ?
The following narrative, for the truth of which we
vouch, may he of interest to the reader, as teach
ing us never to despair while there is yet hope; and
as showing, in a very remarkable degree, the pro
vidence of God.
The town of Liverpool, in Nova Scotia, situated
about sixty miles front Halifax, is a place of some
magnitude for a colonial outport. It is, and al
ways has been, remarkable for the neatness and
comfort of the houses, for the activity and enter
prise of its people, and for the wealth and well
being of all who choose to be industrious and in
clined to lay up worldly goods. The intercourse
with Halifax, the capital of the province, was, at
the period of which we speak, chiefly kept up by
a smart and clashing little craft, called the Liver
pool Packet, commanded by Captain Bass, which
plied weekly between the two places throughout
the spring and summer months, laying up during
the severity of the winter, when the communica
tion with Liverpool was for the most part, limited
to a weekly post by laud.
About the year lslo or 1816, as the season for
navigation was drawing to a close, a great num
ber of passengers went to Halifax, as was the cus
tom, to replenish their stores for the winter, while
many heads of families proceeded thither to pur
chase clothing, groceries, Ac., for their private
winter stock; and as this was to be the last trip of
the season, the little hark was crowded with some
forty or fifty passengers, chiefly fathers and moth
ers of large families, who were left at home.
The voyage to Halifax was prosperous; the
voyagers made their purchases, and in due time j
the Liverpool Packet was ready to return. All the j
passengers embarked in good spirits, aud the bark j
sailed cheerily down the harbor and proceeded for I
her destination.
A few hours after her departure there sprang up ;
one of those terrific North-westers, so well known
on the coast of Nova Scotia, and blowing with the
utmost fury for several days, attended with intense
frost. It was clear that no vessel could keep the
coast; she must either put herself before the wind
and run out to sea, or all perish miserably by
wreck, and the rigor of an atmosphere twenty or ;
thirty degrees below zero. A change of weather |
so sudden, so severe and so unexpected, gave rise
to great fears for the safety of the little packet, and
the next post by land was anxiously watted for by
friends and relatives at both towns'.
The post at length arrived, but brought no tid
ings of the Liverpool packet ; another post and
another came in, and yet no news of the missing
vessel. Search was then made along the shore to
see if the wreck could be found; but, as in the case
of tlie Pacific, not a vestige could be discovered.
Advices were in due time received from Bermu
da, but nothing was heard from the little packet
and her passengers. Accounts were also received
from several of the West India Islands, but still
without intelligence of the missing vessel.
Three months at. length passed away, and ihe
packet was given tip for lost. Those who had
friends on board went into mourning, and prayers
were even offered up for the repose of the souls of
tue departed.
Four months had now passed away; the mourn
ers, notwithstanding their irreparable loss were
becoming reconciled to their bereavment; for
there is a philosophy in the human 'heart which
teaches us to hear with fortitude great losses,
when those of less severity are met with impa
tience. All hope had now lied; the vessel had
without doubt, foundered and gone to the bottom,
with all on board; but when and in what part of
the vast ocean was to remain veiled in the se
crets of the deep until the sea should give up her
dead.
Sixteen weeks had now elapsed, when one fine
morning in the spring, some sea faring people
down at the Fort deserted a strange brig approach
ing the harbor. As she drew nearer to thoauxious
group, her deck was discovered to he crowded
with male and female passengers.
“ Ah !” exclaimed one who had a certain indefi
nable hope, as that hope sank within him, “an
emigrant ship after all,” and a deep sigh came
from his bosom ; for lie had a near and dear friend
on hoard the little Packet. “An emigrant ship
said another; “how can any captain of an emi
grant ship know so well his way into this har
bor?” “Besides, emigrant ships do not come to
Liverpool.” A pause ensued, during which one
with a quick eye was gazing through the best
glass the town afforded; lie was on one knee, rest
ing his telescope, when he suddenly sprang on his
feet, and declared that Captain Bass was among
the passengers! “Nonsense!” was the incredu
lous cry; “Captain Bass and the Liverpool Packet
are at the bottom of the sea, and will remain there
till the day of resurrection.”
Not daunted by their incredulity, lie said, “give
me the trumpet, I will speak the brig, in a few mo
ments she will he near enough.” ‘What brig is
that?’ The response was given. “Are you Cap
tain Bass?” es„’ was the reply. A few moments
sufficed that the vessel had been blown off', and for
many days went before the wind with great rapid
ity. As the storm abated, ('apt. Bass found lie
could better reach the West Indies than lie could
get back with so small and so crowded a vessel.
1 sing their provisions economically, and slaking
their thirst with the eider and the barrels of
apples that were on hoard, they reached Barba
does. There the captain sold his sloop, bought
the brig, and came back safe with all his passen
gers.
The joyful news tied through the town with the
impetuosity of lightning, and ere the vessel could
he brought to the wharf, the entire population of
the place had assembled to meet and embrace
their friends. It would he in vain to describe such
a scene-—all were in mourning—yet all with a
smile of jov beaming m their countenances. As
the long-lost friends and relatives leaped on shore,
fathers, mothers and brothers were locked in
each other's arms, and then the smiles became
tears of joy.
But how was such a scene to end -how could it,
or how ought it to end with a moral and Christian
people? There is in tlie depths of the fountains
of the human heart an ever-living spring, from
which flows its purest and most sacred emotions.
Then- arises the principle of religion, the sense of
.locnuntabilit v to (tod and love for all his goodness.
This impulsive feeling came forth in a gush of
spontaneous gratitude, and the tears and sobs had
scarcely ceased when, with one sudden impulse,
the whole assemblage sank on their knees, and in
a burst of pious fervor poured out thanks to the
great and merciful Redeemer who had so singu
larly preserved them -and who holds us in the
hollow of his hand.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
l-i'l" There are plenty of young Gentle
men, as well as plenty of old ones, whose beards
are turning gray, which gives the former a good
deal of uneasiness, and exposes the age of the lat
i ter. To avoid these little perplexities, we advise
such of our readers to use Prof. WOOD’S HAIR
RESTORATIVE, which will, in the course of a
few weeks, change the white hair to its natural
color. It does not dye the hair, like the most of
the Hair Restoratives, but produces a gradual
' change of color from the roots of the hair to the
: final end, and gives it a line and glossy appear-
I ance. We have seen many persons who have used
it successfully, and pronounced it the only inven
tion which has come up to their idea of a “cure
j for gray heads.” We commenced using it about
two months since, and if we are any judge of age
| and beauty, it lias made us at least ten years young
er— in fact, we are beginning to look quite young,
and feel very much like getting a young wife. The
i change is miraculous, and it would be as ditiicult
to find a gray hair now as it would be to find an
idea in ilie head of the Duke of Buckingham. We
know several old maids and some young widows,
whose looks are just beginning to assume a silvery
lute, and who have been talking seriously about re
sorting to this remedy; and we advise them not
to delay anv longer. It never fails. — tit. Limits
