Miscellaneous Extracts. j King* of France.— lt is a very remarkable I circumstance, that lor the spar e it! two centuries ! and upwards, the throne ti i it are has nevei been tilled by the Son of v king. Louis the j Fourteenth we will admit, though, some deny ; if. to have been the legitimale dr-pring of Louis i the Thirteenth and Atm? of Austria. His bitth jias been disputed because his mother bore no c hild until after three and twent . years ot mur ia<ie. Os his successor’s i xtruction t:o man ner Gs deubt can exist.—Louis the Hfteenth was not a son of Louis the B curt cento, neither was Louis the Sixteenth a son of Louis the Fifteenth. Louis the Sixteenth had a son whom the Bourbons teeognize as Louis the Seventeenth, though this unfortunate prince never ascended the throne. Pi apolcon Buona parte possessed himself of the French crown; but he was not even a Frenchmen, much less the son of a king, either indigenous or ex tic. The direct line of this new dynasty closed with the decease of the ex-King of Rome, latterly known as Duke of Reichstadt, whose head nev er wore a crown. Lotus the Eighteenth, suc ceeded the Corsican, but neither he, nor his brother and successor, Charles the Tenth, were sons of a king; both were brothers of the decapitated sovereign. Charles has a son, who has been excluded from the throne, and a grand son, who shares his present doom. Their cou sin, Louis Phillippe, has been raised over their heads, but is not a king’s son. Died, at Worcester, Massachusetts, attire Lu natic Hospital, on Saturday morning the 16th March, Patrick Molloy, at a very advanced age. The history of this singular man may not he uninteresting to the reader. He was im prisoned in lSo3,for an attempt at homicide, tor which he was sentenced in November of that year by the Supreme Court, “To set upon the gallows one hour, and to be imprisoned six months.” He was at this time in the Jail in Cambridge, where he made a second attempt at homicide. On trial lor this offence he was adjudged to be insane, and remanded to prison. Jr, February lbo6, he was moved from Cam bridge to the Jail in Concord, where he remain ed till he came to the Hospital in this town. At the time of his removal to Concord, his beard was so long that it reached his knees when sitting; he was then an old man, his hair and beard very grey. During the whole period of his confinement he never would be prevailed upon to wash or shave himself, or change his clothes. In 1826, while on attempt was made to do this,he maue a third attempt to murder by seizing a chisel, which he bad secreted in his bed, and making a desperate blow at the head ol the keeper, in flicting a severe wound.—l tom 1808 to 1815, a period of about seven years; he was not known to speak; no one could conjecture why he was thus silent.— At this time he was visited by a Catholic Priest from Boston, who talked to him, asked him questions, made signs, showed him r. cross, crossed himselt, and took every mea— sure in his power to make him sneak but in sreaaiastly and earnestly in Ins face and did nothing more. In 1815, he by some means procured spirits, got intoxicated, found means to get away from the Jail, went in to a neighboring graveyard, seated himself on n grave-stone, and began to sing—from that time he has not refused to talk. It has not been uncommon for him to ab stain from food five or six days at a time.—ln 1808, he went fourteen days w ithout taking any kind of sustenance. In 1821, he again ab stained from food fourteen days. He has not had for some time the least de sire to obtain his liberty, accustomed for so long a time to a prison life, he had lost all con nexion with the external world, and all knowl edge of former associates and acquaintance- He was brought to the Lunatic Hospital in this town, on the evening of the 27th of Februa ry, having previously undergone ablution, sha ving,and having been well clad. He had plen ty of good clothing and excellent care; but the day was cold, the journey long and fatiguing, and all together it was too great a shock for his debilitated frame; he sickened the second day after his arrival; his disease was severe and dis tressing—he languished till Saturday morning | last, and expired. i During his sickness, which was painful in the extreme, not a groan or murmur escaped him; he submitted to every medical prescriptioncheer fully and willingly. During the early part of his illness he had a lucid interval, in which he related many circumstances of his life, and as signed a reason for his first attempt at murder, which, if true, would greatly extenuate the crime even with a man in full possession of his reason. Immured in a prison for thirty years, cut off from his friends and society, constantly disturbed by the vulgar gaze and abuse of visi tors who delight in the exhibitions of rage— which they provokingly excite—or else the vic tim of the delusive torturings of his fancy. It may truly be said, “He drank at the cup of grief, his fiii; And his life was a dream of madness.’’ A singular and highly important discovery has been made by Messrs, (.'apron r.r.d Doru tace, Chemists, at Chaiiiot. IJy a process, which they keep secret, and to v. hich they have given the name of “ Moniificgtion,” they have succeeded, after passing a number of years in experiments, in so modifying and perfecting tlie known processes of preserving bodies as to re duce them to mummies, leaving ail the forms unaltered. All the elements of disorganization which show themselves in the human body s > soon after death are completely destroyed, and pot only the external body, but all the vis cera, the lungs, the heart, the liver,and even the brain, are perfectly preserved ; the features also remain so perfectly uninjured, that correct por traits may be taken at any length of time af ter death; and as the body is not enveloped in bandages, as in the Egyptian method, the natural form; pie perfectly preserved The ! operation re quires but a very low days, inter i which the dead bodies may be preserved in a room or a vault, or interred in the ordi nary way, without being accessible to worms. Thev may also be exposed to all the variations of the air, either in a standing or sitting position without undergoing any alteration. The inven tors do not intend to make their process public, !mt it may be adopted even by those w ho reside at a considerable distance lroin Paris, as a bo dy placed in a leaden tub, and completely sur ro#.nletl bv ice, may be kept uninjured for twen ty davs, and the operation may still be perfor med. At the last meeting of the Academy of Sciences, a human body, and also two hearts, preserved in this manner, were exhibited, nnd the process appeared perfect; the discolored state of the skin occasioned by the scar of an old wound was even fully perceptible, and, al though these preparations had been completed several weeks, not the slightest approach to change of any kind was observable. From the Practical Tourist. Extended landed Estates —The old system of .clanships anil feudal lords is nearly broken down, being resolved into the relation ot ten ants and lords of tne soil. Some of the estates in the north of Scotland are ot great extent. The duke ofßreadalbanc’s territory has 13, 500 persons resident upon it, and extends horn lay bridge, .n the county of Perth, to Easdale in Argyleshire, ninety—eight miles and a half, and is of a varied width of from one to twelve miles. He can travel nearly one hundred miles in a di rect line on his own land. It was observed to him that it would be a fine thing if his estate were located in one of the counties near London. He is said to have replied, that he should lose by such a change more than halt his possesions, if they were to be circumscribed within the lim its of one of the English counties. Some of these great landholders have improved the bar ren hills, of their broad possessions, by planta tions of forest trees, particularly of the Hr and larch, which aresituated in this region. Nearly a million of trees have on some of the estates been planted in one year. THE WESTERN HERALD.

Such an arrangement is more convenient for us, and wc presume equally so to them. -:2K2K:- , jt3*At the request and suggestion of some 01 our suu acribers residing in the country, this paper in fulure will be delivered at this office. Those living in town will be furnished by the carrier on giving us information of resi dence, &c. . c cau me aLieneion of our Citizens to the adveitisc ment in this days paper, calling a meeting with a view to Ihe organization of a Volunteer corps. The obvious ne cessity of this measure, must be too apparent to need comment. Maii Stage. — We have the pleasure of staling for the information of the public, that on and after the sth inst. a Stage will reach this place tri-weekly, Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which will open a direct Stage communication with Carolina, by the line recently established by Mr. Whitten, with almost every part of Georgia,by way of Athens and Milledgevilic,and Athens, Washington and Augusta. AVe are indebted to the en terpnzing Col. Banks for this arrangement, who incurs some additional expense in effecting an object so desira ble, not only to the citizens of this place, but to those abroad, who may hereafter be drawn to this land of ma ny a golden dream, by its attractions or its fame. No understanding with the Post Office Department, for an increase of compensation, has yet taken place.— The public, ever prompt in rewarding enterprize, will, we have no doubt, sustain by its encouragement the expense incurred for its accommodation. -■2gL2tZ:— Reduction. —Nest Monday the Delegates chosen by the people, to represent them in the Convention, to reduce the number of members of the Legislature will assemble at Milledgeville. It would be superfluous if not arrogant in us at this time,to give our own views of the subject. We trust and believe from the highly respectable and talented representatives which have her n chosen, that the business of the Convention will be conducted with prudence,in a spintofliberality and kind feeling, and its determinations made in a wisdom which may prove of lasting benefit to the State. County Site. —On Wednesday last, the Justices of the Inferior Court of this county, proceeded as announced in our paper of the day previous, to the selection of a site for the permanent location of the county Town. Four only of the Judges were in attendance; among thr.se act ing, and on whom the responsioility rested, there prevail ed, as we have understood,some diversity of opinion. Lots No. Gl9, No. 539, and No 950, in the 12th and Ist, had each * preference, and each its advocate. Lot No. 950, was selected by two of the Judges,who were subsequent ly sustained in their vote, by the assent and concurrence ‘ of the gentleman, whose vote was originally in favor of Lot No. 613. Lot No. 950, is situated about live and a hall inih s north or north east from Auraria, and within a halt a mile ofCain Creek, so advantageously known tor the |..odui livem ss of its mines in IS3O. This num ber it has been r< presented to us, possesses no decided advantages over the one on which this place is situated; it is said tube ditiicult of access, and the public mind gen erally, So fa. as we have become acquainted with it, ad verse to tiio selection. Its position being the reverse of central. It has struck us as a consideration of moment, not only to the rising importance of the the capital of our county, hut for the future convenience of its population, that it should be situated os mar tV- main mail outc passing f.om this to Tennessee, as justice to its citizens, occupy ing opposit extremes of tie- county, will allow. Another consideration of still greater moment—otic with which the interest —wealth—character —population and territo ty olTliti loutilv, uroaU loueunul, would U> so to ar range the locution of the county town, rs to secure by a union of fooling,the active co-operation ofits entire popula tion, in sustaining it* present geographical limits not by multiplying to drive any |iortion of its citizens to an for a division of, and ultimately secession from the county. Lumpkin county is, from the best information we can obtain, about forty miles in length, and fifteen or twenty miles in breadth; extending from the south west to the east about forty, and from the south east to the north west about thirty miles, atwl from east to west fif teen or twenty miles. Auraria is situated some twenty or twenty-two miles tr ial the south west, and eighteen or twenty miles from lire north oast corner; about twelve miles from the sou'h east, and eighteen or twenty miles from the north west corner. Any change, therefore, ex cept from a south east to n north west direction, would fail to remove the objocUon, already urged against tli geographical position of this place. These suggestions arc offered, not with a view of impairing the confidence j due to the authority or discretion of the Court. \\ c have respect for the former, and confidence in the latter. Our object is to concentrate the energies of the country in selecting its capital, and to make it, what w-e one day hope to see it, rivalling the most prosperous and most favored of onr up-country towns. 2C3E : The envy of the less fortunate is the usual concomi tant of prosperity-. We hope this grovelling passion has not dictated a portion of the following lines. The Che rokee country, it is true, has emerged from obscurity very suddenly. Where hut a few- days ago the foot of the rude savage roamed the greenwood and trod the verdant valley, free as the mountain breeze that gave vigor and elasticity to his frame, the plastic hand of civilization tias touched the country- w ith its wizard wand, and court houses and villages have sprung up as it were by en chantment; and we can boast already, at least one town, of upwards of a thousand souls in population,built up tor the habitations of the white man,driving a brisk trade, and exhibiting the arts and refinements of civilized life. But surely these things should not be a subject of envy to the rhymesters of the great capital of the Btate. The first and third verses of the subjoined effusion do this country justice. Here we enjoy a pure air and a serene sky; and nature, for the most part wild and unre claimed it is true, wears her simplicstand loveliest garb. “ O my Nora's gown for me, Tiiat floats as light as mountain breezes, Leaving ev’>y u.riulv free To sink or swell as Heaven pleases.” The Baeotian fens and fogs which thicken the atmosphere of the country below, engendering bile and the “ blues,” do not trouble us; and were our poet here, he would find other and brighter theme for song than “ chuck-luck boxes” and “ gin by the barrel,” in the rosy nymphs and woodlands wild” of our own lovely hills and dales. To all that farrago of nonsense in the second stanza, wc must enter our most solemn protest. It is true, we have our share of the vice and folly cf the day. But wo can hardly pretend to compare with the capital when the assembled wisdom of the State is congregated there — We have not a tithe of the Made-legs, “white spirits and black, blue spirits and grey,” which swelter and fester in the sinks of vice and corruption at that saturnalia, boiling and bubbling “till they o’errun the stew.” They that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

J\lr. Editor. —ln your paper, and in ’nany others of the present day, 1 have seen many communications on that subject, of all others, most interesting t many ofyour readers, to wit, love. These letters, whether written in an illi : terate, ungrammatical and almost unpunctuated ! style,or even in the pedantic technicalities ofthe learned jurist, are always perused with eager ness, and tail not to produce some merriment. This perhaps arises from the fact, that at least once in every man’s natural life, love becomes the empire of his soul,and heisoftencr engaged in courtship. Indeed fickle mindedness, flaTte ry and coquetry have become so common, that not unfrcquently, we see a young lady with half a dozen beaux, and a gallant young gentle men,paying his devoirs to two dozen young la dies at the same time; and all these unf< rtunate individuals, either from vanity or stupidity, await in earnest expectation, until they receive a regular non suit.- As the Spring courtships ate now progressing, I think I cannot be of more service to the public, than by giving some hints, and prescribing a few rules by which to conduct, what is usually termed a courtship. T he hist rule that I would recommend is, nev er to make falling in love a matter of specula tion or business. Too many persons seek a partner us they would a gold-mine; simply be cause some noted belle is the toast of a whole neighbornood. They suffer not their reason to inquire what is their object; all that they desire is a conquest, that will place them in an envia ble situation. My second rule would be never to pay your addresses to more than one young lady at the same time. I would rigidly adhere to this tule, notwithstanding the influence that your having the reputation of having received favors from the most noted belle of the land, may have upon the object you would secure. It would afford me great pleasure, were it in rny power to give a third rule, to be pursued when you have made your selection—formed your determination, and wish immediately to engage the hand with which you would link your fortune. But alas ! neither from experience or observation, can I advise any general rule. 1 have known too t oreat sccresy to prove fatal. When your con- 1 duct is divulged, your motives arc suspected, t and a cloud at last gathers around your repute- ( tion, especially if the parents and friends are un- l mical to your design; you are defeated, perhaps j just when “ visionary happiness had unveiled 1 itself before you.” 1 5 But on the other hand, if you piocced in the , ordinary way, your case is desperate. Vou arc known to make one or two visits on your best i horse; your velvet vest and new cloth coat, shining i like a young raven; your cravat in its best cue, and your pleated i utiles, peeping from your bosom. Famn rol at errero cabilc, and spreads it among the wholesale or retail dea lers in scandal —that you have been smit ten —you are in love—you have communi cated your passion—it has been reciproca ted—the victory is accomplished —preparations are making—the wedding day is at hand. And why ! because as 1 said in your bon ton , you have accompanied the, perhaps unsuspecting nymph to church, to a party, or on an evening’s ramble. 1 grant that you may have only sought an acquaintance,and prudently await for time to tell whether she unites the qualities calculated to sweeten domestic tranquillity. If indeed you have designed these preliminary preparations, you have proceeded hastily. Already has the ; envied object heard the awful rumour. Those who dread your suspected success, will ironi cally extol your merit, that they may have the satisfaction of hearing a contradiction, or seeing the face color, they would gladly see blush. Others a little more disinterested, gratuitously offers advice; others ask the liberty of officiating at the wedding; the parson and squire, proffer the ceremony, and the motherly old w omen go farther. But a more serious difficulty present ly arises. Perhaps the girl is young; if so, you are undone - She flies at your appearance — she crouches close by her mama, and she pre sently hates you. In a word, let her character be w hat it may, she puts herself upon her guard, ’ and you nave virtually to procure the consent of the whole neighborhood. Perhaps since to exhibit any symptoms of overtures, would be dangerous, some would ad vise love letter writing. I hate these letters. They prevent the soul-chcering glances that soothe the restless heart,and speakcomfort whenhcrdeccp tive lips reject your offer. In a letter too, more is pledged than is ever performed, and conse quently more is preserved than was ever true. Permit the writer to lay before you one of those letters, dictated by a tender heart, but un polished mind. It is an answer to a letter in which the writer had perhaps spoken too freely, of the impressions which a recent visit had made upon his mind That no injustice may be done to the fair authoress, who had all the ad yantae-es of wealth, and had received what is called'a boarding school education, I will give it verbatim et literatim, not even correcting the orthographical erfofs. Dear **********, —I once more take tr.y pen in hand, to drop you a few lines on this subject of matrimony; my mind is like it was when I wrote to you before,’.! seems like I can’t get my mind placed more on this subject than what it is, it won’t never do it. Oh ! • 1 w nvll Vs T vuultl my mind more fully perfect, than what I do. I cant write like I could talk with you. When I received your letter, I was very glad to hear from. I want to know your mind more per fectly on this matter, it is a serious matter to think, it almost deprives my soul into misery— my heart is almost like a lump of clay ! W hat an awful thing love is, when it takes hold of male and female ! ! Oh what would I give if you had the wings of the dove, it would relieve that burden of distress from mind caused by love and suspense. If you had ever experi enced half the trouble that I have felt, you would be more cautious, more prudent, about it than you is. lam desirous that you should know my mind on this courtship entirely, keep it secret with all your friends. I dont like this way of courting by letter, I dont think it a good way to court by letter. I want to see you be fore I write to you again, come immediately. These lines to you my friend, Will surely make an end Os what yob mostly wish to hear. And sure you need not fear, That ever I’ll for another care, No, I am j-our’s, and j-ou arc mine, And till we wed Oh ! haste the time.” The letter is at the service of the ladies The poetry for originality, bangs the whole Strick land family. Fortune prevented the enjoined visit; and in one month she was engaged to a more punctual admirer, who has long since con ducted her to Hymen’s altar, and carried her far from the hearing of the W estern Herald. Perhaps sir, this communication will remind each busy body of what they should not do, pending a courtship; virsapit quipauca loquiter. JUVENIS. Air. AlcDujfie's Oratory. —The correspon dent of the Portland Advertiser conveys, in the following extract of a letter, as good an idea, as is possible in a writtencommunicationofthe elo quence of Mr. McDuffie: The majority of men say he is not eloquent and effect to be,or arc, disgusted with his style, and yet they will listen to him with intense atten tion for hours. One thing is certain, he has a very bad manner—bad so far as good taste or propriety is concerned. He hesitates and stam mers ;he screams and bawls; he thumps and stamps like a mad man in Bedlam: but yet! ho is eloquent, and often eloquent, with little or j nothing to say. I will attempt to give you an ■ idea of his manner in the report of a few periods, putting in parentheses, us well as words will admit, his modulations, and his gestures; “ Sir > ( a ‘hump on the desk upon a quire of ; paper heavy enough to echo over the whole hall,) sir, South Carolina is oppressed,(a thump.) A tyrant majority sucks her life blood from her, (a dreadful thump.) les sir, (a pause) yes sir, a t\rant (a thump) majority, unappeasod, (arms aloft)un appensiblc,(horrid scream) has persceu* ted and persecutes us, ( a stamp on the floor.; V> e appeal to them, (low and quick) but we ap peal in vain (loud and quick.)

They heap coals of lire on our bfeads, (with immense rapidity.) They give us bur then on burthen ; they tax us more and fiiore, (very rapid, slain-bang, bang, bang, slam—a hideous noise.) We turn to out brethren of the south, (slow, with a solemn, thoughtful air.) Wc work with them; wc fight with them; we vote with them; we petition with them; (common voice and manner,) bat the tyrant majority has no ears, no eyes, no form, (quick) deaf, (long pause) sightless, (pause) inexorable, (slow, slow.) —Despairing, (a thump) we resort to the rights (a pause) which God (a pause) and nature have given us,” (thump, thump, thump) &c. &c. &c. This is no caricature, but gives you a better idea of ]\lr. McDuffie’s manner than I could give you in sheets of description. In these pauses, thumps, stamps, oi supplosio pedis as the-ancients termed it, there is much that com mands attention. The rapid changes of voice from one tone to another, never suffer the ear to be fatigued. The earnest gestures keep the eye engaged. And thus, as to command atten tion, is one of the great objects of a Represen tative, when so few are listened to, Mr. McDuf fie succeeds to the utmost of his wishes. Remarks of Mr. Clayton in the House of 111 presentatives on the motion of Mr. Dickson to postpone the special order, for the purpose ol disposing of the bill from .the Senate (the force bill.) Mr. Speaker, (said Mr. C.) I have not troub led the House often, during the present ses ion,but I new consider we have arrived at a point of time, when silence on the part of southern members can no longer be excused, and tame acquiescence in the course indicated becomes criminal. I must, therefore, precious ns time is, raise my voice against the monstrous step about to be taken. I know the nature of my feelings, and doubt not they have often given annoyance, but on the present occasion, it shall be my earnest endeavor to restrain them, though the subject is extremely exciting. Be tween me and my constituents, I am ready (o incur the responsibility suggested by a gen tlemen, of consuming the “ precious time” of the House. What is the proposition? Have gentlemen suffered their minds to run through the whole aspect of the question ? Mark the character of the case. It is to postpone the ta rifi'bill until Saturday, but virtually altogether, for the purpose of taking up the enforcing bill, sent to this body from the Senate? It is said this last bill is very important! In the name of every thing, can it be, more important than the tariff bill? Was there ever before, and can there ever be so much depending upon the is sue of any measure as that which now hangs upon the fate of the tariff bill? Mr. Speaker, this bill was introduced on the 27th day ol De cember last, and from that day dov, n have v.e been anxiously engaged, to the exclusion ofni- 1 most all other business, in the effort, honest and 5 sincere on our part, to bring this troubled qucs-8 tion to such a termination, as would give repose to the alarming agitations of the country, and jiow, when wc have but six days left, behold an insidious e (tempi is made to give it the go L, and to take up and pass a bill designed to rivet upon us the very system it was intended to modify. Sir, I know we are not believed, when we speak of the high excitement of our people. I know we are despised when we tell of die suf- - ferings ol our country. 1 know we are laughed at, when we mention the determination) of thef South no longer to bear the unequal legislation of Congress. 1 have just witnessed the con- ; tempt and ridicule manifested in the actions cl’if some gentlemen, at the eloquent and just de scription of the southern discontents by my col leagues. It is all treated with perfect indiflir ence, and marked by the most ineffable scon. This I would not regard ; but our own people, animated by a generous love of country, and ac tuated by a charity worthy of a better cause, will not believe they are thus illiberally treat —They yet confide in men who detest them. : They yet trust in statesmen who have no other rule of action but a sense of interest. The; yet believe in the honesty of those who have I never yet shown the first evidence of that virtue: . and all we can say and do, there are many #1 our own people who close their eyes to these . glaring instances of insult, injustice, and oppres sion. It is upon this incredulity that reliance I is placed by those who turn an unhstening ca: ~ and an unbelieving heart to our complaints, our remonstrances, and our resolves to be free. llow often, in and out of this house, have we been twitted with the remark, that a di vided people were unable to effect any thing.’ - No community ever yet carried a purpose, who quarrelled among themselves about the bcsl % method of accomplishing it. Yes, Sir, these \ are the calculations that are hurrying gentlemen p into the fatal and inconsiderate determination to put by the tariff and so put us to the sword. They may yet be mistaken. It has been the great care of Southern mem bers to keep their cause in the right anil : their enemies in the wrong—thus far before Heaven we have succeeded. When he cairo here, knowing hoiv short the session and con sequently how precious the time, we have scal ed, with but a few exceptions, our lips in the purposely protracted discussions which have ta ken place on this all engrossing subject. Me ! saw a fixed resolution to evade the bill by tall;- j ing out the session, and every species ot indig*’ | nity has been offered to Southern members,and (he country they represent, with a view- to dra* , them out in aid of this unworthy object. Wei have suffered all things for the sake of peace i I We have been chaiged with a wish not to sct-| ; tie this question. Our leading men at the South have been accused with the traitorous design ot making this contest contribute to the disrncm-1 berment of the Union in subserviency to fb® the purposes of an unholy ambition. The speaker reminded Mr. Clayton that was not in debate.) Mr. C. replied he knew it was not in debate, but hoped the speaker would discriminate between the premises of a* l argument and the argument ilsclf;he was nboi ; Ito lay the foundation of an argument which
