Judge Taney ami liis Libellers Within the last few weeks the various hire lings of the Republican press—partly through ignorance and malignity, and partly at the so licitation of the frightened lenders of their ex piring party—have been striving to escape the fatal effect of the recent Supreme Court decis ion, not by constitutional argument, but by the last resort of dying faction, the argumcn- tum ad hominem. They arc as superstitiously afraid of the Constitution, ns the Hindoos of their invisible Deity, and its requirements arc only known to them through the crafty oracles uttered by their false and reckless high priests. And thus the decree of the highest tribunal up on earth is sought to be combatted by an indis criminate and rabid abuse of its members; a- mong the rest, exposed by his very eminence, Roger B. Taney has received their fiercest as saults. Wc do not propose to defend his pri vate character, for its purity and sacrcduess render it invulnerable. Nor do wc presume to stand as the advocate of his lofty abilities and legal learning, for few, even for his cotem- paries, arc eqnal to the task. ITtslory is his defence and his eulogy. Her testimony is that never has there existed in this gifted laud a mind more endowed with comprehensiveness and discrimination, or a heart more full of hon or and nobility, than that of Roger B. Taney The mantle of Chief Justice Marshall has fall en upon him with all its adorning virtues, iu creased by time and polished by experience. The master spirits of the last half century did homage to him, and it is related that when youug man, at the death of Wm.

And yet this is the man that is reviled by these upstart slanderers weak, venal, fickle and unprincipled.

The hints T re- iry, nnd the letter signed Eunice Gregory, had sot niy memory at work, and when I met Wesii-y and observed tho peculiar scar on liis forehead, the whole thing hashed upon me, uul 1 determined to make a hold pu-h to expose described. In fifteen or twenty flays after the caterpillar has attninefl its full size, it ceases to feefl. It then doubles down the edge I of a leaf and fastens it with its own silk to the main part of the same leaf, or by webbiug jycral leaves together, forming thoreby a very loosely-spun cocoon. Iu this.it transforms into a chrysalis, which, at first is green, but in a short time after changes to a chesnut brown or even to almost black. Another Fire in Darien. Wc learn from a passenger who arrived by the Si. Johns, yesterday, that the Atlantic Saw Mills, an extensive establishment at Darien, were destroyed by lire on the morning ot the 2ml instant. The Mills were valued at Olll), and owned Robert Todd, who purchased them about two months since from Buckman &. Hro. Tliey were insured only to the ex tent of $3,000. Our informant states that some of the citizens believed they were set on lire by some malicious person.—Sav, aud worthy. As Attorney General in the Cab inet, lie strongly advised the removal of the deposits from the United States Bank, (an opinion fullv sustained by the subsequent cor ruption and rottenness of that concern) and therefore, wheu afterward called upon to ac cept the control of said deposit, and carry out his oten judgment, ltouor aud consistency alone required his consent. Ills course has always been thus uuimpeach able,’ and Henry Clay himself, in his highest partisan excitement, never dared to impugn the honesty and purity of the motives of the noble old Democratic justice. But he is cliarg cd with being the advocate of slavery and its propagandism, and that only because of his act ing in acorlance with his oath and expounding the Constitution by its true letter and spirit. Let the decision speak for itself but Mr. Taney; personally, is opposed to slavery in principle and practice. Forty years ago, although never wealthy, he freed every negro in his possession, and has paid Servant’s wages ever since. They were all valuable, and one, his body servant, has been the head waiter of the largest hotel in Baltimore for many years. Judge Taney has always been the truest friend of the black man, and it is related by a contemporary that the most eloquent speech lie ever made was at theFrederick county bar, in defence of a little negro girl, in which he thrilled his auditors by exalting the happy construction of our courts aud the justice of our laws in allowing the business of the circuit to be stopped, in order to give that poor little negro her rights and her lawful protection Aud although the little creature had most like ly committed crime, Jlr, Taney’s eloquent ap peal rescued her from the vengeance of the law Thus have all his acts, public and private, been characterized by justice and generosity. Fashionable Amusements. A correspondent writing to a rural paper from Albany, thus refers to a new amusement introduced at fashionable parties “New fashions have been introduced into Albany by the wives of ‘Hon.’ gentlemen of New York city. After a ‘hop’ at the Delevan, the other night one of the ladies who gave the fashions which are followed by the country girls, ‘rode the Elephant’ for the amusement of the party. This « performed thus. Two gentlemen stoop down on hands and knees, pil lows and blankets are piled on their backs for saddles—a tale and trunk arc made of suitable material—when the rider-ess is placed upon the saddle and carried around the room! I expect to hear that ‘riding the Elephant’ is ‘all the go’ in the rural districtsl’j Tnc Albany Atlas admits the fact, and thus describes tho modus operandi of tho perform ances : “The gas in tho parlors is partially turned off so as to produce a sort of twilight darkness, when two gentlemen, the tallest present, are requested to take their position m the hack parlor. Their position is that adopted by boys when playing leap-frog. A large cloth of some subdued color—dark gray, for instance—is then thrown over them, and another rolled up, is attached to the front, which constitutes the trunk. Two sheets of white paper are then rolled up and tacked on, one on each side of the trunk. These represent the ivory tusks. Tho Albany Elephant is now complete. The lady rider takes her scat on its back, amid cushions, etc-, ami under the guidance of a leader, the monster proceeds with heavy tread to display itself and precious load to the company in tho front parlor. Tho arrange - ment is unexpectedly perfect, and suggestive of life in the East. The play of the ‘Elephant’ is a success here, and wc will not be suprised to hear of its adoption in the rural districts The Ethiopian Twins. Some few years ago a negro women in Cumberland county, N. C., gave birth to twin children, more singularly and wonderfully united than the famed Siamese twins. They were purchased by C’apt. J. C. IVrvis, of this place, and sold by J. 1*. Smith, Esq., of Anson county, N. C., who entrusted them to Brewer and Shelton. They were taken to New Or- emis for exhibition, where they were tricked out of them. Recently Mr. Smith heard they were on exhibition in England.—Knowing that he could uot claim them tvs slaves, lie purchased their mother and took her to England to re claim her children. Upon reaching that coun try, he heard they were in Scotland, where lie proceeded. He found them in Edinburg, aud tne mother’s claim was respected, even in Abolition England, where the rights of the master arc unknown or disregarded. No effort was spared to induce the mother of these children to desert her master and re main in England. She said she had seen white avery. and it was far worse in civilized Eng land, than African slavery in the United States. Indeed, so strongly was she impres sed with the misery of white slavery, that she clung to her master anil returned with him home, to endure the misery of negro slavery in North Carolina, as not only a choice of evils, hut as tlu: happiest condition of the African race. Jlr. Smith and his negroes arrived at this place on Monday last.—C,hemic Gazelle. Col. Lane, of Kansas notoriety, is married again, his termer v. ito irom whom he had been divorced, being his bride. 1 Ladies and Gentlemen Ol MACON, AND THE SURROUNDING TOWNS & COUNTIES.
