Samihy Darby’s Courtship.
“ Good afternoon Squire Jdnes !” “ Good
afternoon friend Darby, come walk in.”—
“ Well, Sqire, how is your lovely darter, Sal,
to.dav, and the rest of the family?” “Why
they are all up and about, particularly Sal, she
is very hearty , has a good appetite and cats a j
right smart chance, and the way she smokes
her old pipe is the right way, and sings—lord
man, she sings like a martingale; oh,she is a j
burster!” “ Well, squire, I'm glad to hear so j
much in praise of Sal, for I love her mightily,
and mean to court her too.” “ Why, that’s
plain, honest, and clever —I’ll go and call Sal.”
Bu:e enough lie did, and she soon made her
appearance. “Ifow are you, Sal?” says I.
On, sorter middling ; how do you feel, Mr.
Darby?” “Why, Sul, I aint well, I’m love- j
sick.” “Oh. hush, you don’t say so—-well do 1
tell me who she is ?” With that I sorter sidled
up to Sal, and Sal she kinder sidled off. Says j
I. “ Sal, don’t be so dai nation skittcrish, for:
you are the very gal I’m after.” “ Geet out,
you don’t say.” “ Yes I do, and I'm in as hard
earnest as ever my old dog Lion was at a
Coon.” That pleased Sal mightily, and she
kinder tossed her head and looked as proud as
some your town gals do when they get in a
ball room. Says I, “ Sal, will yon have me ?” i
“ I reckon as how I will, you don’t catch this !
child refusing to do that tiling when she has j
so goorl a chance.” So off we went to the !
Parson’s, and Sal and I got married, and now
we live as kinder happily together as can be, j
only sometimes she bawls out to me, “Mr.
Darby, don’t be a spitting your tobacco juice
on the fire-dogs, and sticking your feet on the
fender; may Ibe burnt if I can keep any thing
decent for y r ou, plague take all tobacco chew
ors, I sav, that arc as nasty about it as you
ore.” And the way she raps my toes with
the tongues when she sees my feet on the fend
er, is no ways common, I tell you ; however,
I live as happy as I can expect with a woman
—that’s the fact.
For the Sou;hern Post.
I could not avoid observing when in Phila
delphia, the great number of old bachalors and
maiden ladies with which that city seemed to
be overrun. Sure marriage, thought I, is not
sufficiently encouraged, or we should never be
hold such crowds of battered beaux and de
cayed coquets, still attempting to drive a trade
they have been so long unfit for, and swarm
ing upon the gaiety' of the age. I behold an
old bachelor in the most contemptible light, as
an animal that lives upon the common stock
without contributing his share: lie is a beast
prey, and the laws should make use of as
many stratagems, and as much force to drive
the reluctant savage into the toils, as the Indi
ans when they hunt the rhinoceros. The mob
should lie permitted to hallo after him—boys
"dght play tricks on him with impunity—cvc
ry well bred company should laugh at him,
and if, when turned of sixty, he offered to
make love, his mistress might spit in his face,
or what would be perhaps a greater punish
ment, should fairly grant the favor-
I As for old maids, tliey should not be treat
ed With so much severity ; because, I suppose
none would be so if they could kelp it. No la
dy in her senses would choose to make a sub
ordinate figure at christenings and lyings-in,
when she might be the principal herself; nor
curry favor with a sister-in-law, when she
might command an husband; nor toil in pre
paring custards, when she might lie a-bed and
give directions how they ought to he made;
nor stifle all her sensations in demure formali
ty, when she might with matrimonial freedom
shake her acquaintance by the hand and wink
lat a double entendre. No lady could be so
| very silly as to live single if she could help it.
I consider an unmarried lady declining into
the vale of years, as one of those charming
countries bordering on China, that lies waste
for wont of proper inhabitants. We are not
to accuse the country, but the ignorance of its
neighbors, who are insensible of its beauties,
though at liberty to enter and cultivate the
soil.

Saturday Dlcrnin;, March 31, 1838.
Cotton Market.
The market is very dull and but little coming in.— '
Highest price, 9 cen’s, and some inferior Cottons have j
sold at 5 cents. We have been wifhout rain near three ;
weeks ; gardens are generally backward, and stand in
great need of a refreshing shower. The weather is ex
ceedingly warm—the thermometer stands this (last)
evening at 72 ’.
IKr “Midims" has been received, and shall appear
next week. We are sorry “ Leelin” has been laid
over so long, but will lose none of his beauty—and shall
have a place in our next. “ frj”.” is on tile for publi
cation, as well as “ Muza.”
JO" We are requested to say that Mr. James Robert
son, Travelling Agent, for the “ United States Maga- >
zine,” will remain in this city a few days for the pur- i
pose of receiving subscriptions to said work. He can i
be found at the Central Hotel.
{k>* The War Department have responded to Jesup’s 1
proposition as we anticipated they would. It would j
certainly be something strange if the Government should j
consent to a measure of that sort, after the treaty that |
had bee n made with the Seminole Indians—let the re- i
commendation come from whom it might. The expec
ted laurels will fall withering to the ground, long before 1
ihe time of crowning the victor, and Jesup’s boasts and
end, probably, in smoke. We expect shortly to hear of
a resignation which will be the end of the drama, and
will crown him as he deserves—not Oceola’s conquer
or, but his betrayer—not his Country’s proud boast, but |
her shame. Yet, it is our sincere desire that the war
may he terminated, and by Jesup. \\ e know that
the difficulties he has had to encounter with have been
many and great, and wish him a reward for his toil.—
But his proposition and policy, notwithstanding these
is certainly disgraceful to himself, and con
trary to the interest of the Government; whatever sums !
may be yet expended, to put an end to this inglorious !
war. The letter of the War Departmnent,’ in answer
to the plan proposed by the General, (the substance of
which was in our last,) will be found in our columns. —
When the Florida war will be at an end, is a question
hard to determine. From present signs and appearan- j
ces, we should not be surprised at its continuance for
several years more.
The Emancipator.
This is an incendiary paper, published in the city of
New-York, and has been recently sent to a number of
editors at the South, requesting an exchange. We are
fortunate in not being known by these insolent publish
ers, as they have not troubled us with their paper : but
many of our friends, or some of them at least, have re
ceived it—such as have had the misfortune to be known
by name to these individuals. We hope that this cool
impudence will not create any excitement; we think
it the duly of every one who has received a number,
simply to fald it up and send it back to the source from
whence it came. This will have a better effect in stop
ping this inundation of trash, than all that may be said
or written on the subject; and will teach him, or them,
in a silent but effectual language that the Southarn peo
ple will not be gulled by sacii stuff, and prating about
philantrophy and the rights of man ; and that they are
] determined to be their own judges in all matters con
cerning themselves, without requiring aid irom any one,
much less a fanatical enthusiast.
Enterprise of Virginia.
Virginia has now in contemplation a magnificant
scheme of connecting the great West with her sea-coast,
iby means of a Rail-Road. The “ Old Dominion”
] seems determined not to be behind her younger neigh
! bors of the South in these great enterpizes of trade.—
We find the following in the Charleston Courier in re
i laiion to it:
The House of Delegates has passed a reso
-1 lution in favor of running a Rail Road, on stale
: aecount, from the Tennessee line, to New Riv
er, front which two Rail Roads are to diverge,
one by the way of Lynchburg and the other by
the way of Danville, towards each of which
the State is to apporpriate 3-sths upon her
I joint stock principle. The Enquirer , in advo
cating this scheme, alluding to Gen. Hayne’s
eloquent call on the stockholders of our great
Rail Road, says:
“ And if wc should “ falter in our course,”
we, too, shall “deserve our fate.” We call
upon Virginia, then to be up and doing. Shall
we permit a city so far to the South ot us, to
! seize upon the advantages which ought to bc
: long to us ? Though Knoxville may be nearer
to Charleston than to Richmond, yet how much
I nearer are we to the whole North ? No State
! cm cope with us in our locality as to the neigh
boring States, South or West of us—and nor.e
can surpass us in the treasures, which lie at the
surface or in the bosom ol our earth. All that
wc want is, to be true to ourselves—and show
ourselves worthy of the blessings which a gra
cious Provibencc has showered [upon us.”
A correspondent ol the Enquirer proposes
a magnificent scheme of uniting the James Riv
er with the Gulf of Mczico, by Rail Road and
water communications, and makes the follow
ing allusion to our great project.
“When we remember, too, that the Charles
ton, Louisville and! Cincinnati Road would
cross our line at Knoxville, we might expect
on a Fourth of July [celebration to see volunteer
companies collected at this point, from more
than half the State in this Union, to do homage
to the day, which gave birth to American lib
erty.”
FLORIDA.
Gen. Jesup, in bis official correspondence
with the War Department, informs the Secre
tary that the prospect of terminating the war
in any reasonable time, is anything but flat
tering: and that if immediate emigration is
insisted upon, the war will continue for years
to come, at a constantly increasing expense,
lie says that the wilderness ho is traversing is
not habitable by the w hite man, and if it were,
is not worth the cost in obtaining it. He docs
not think the country south of the Chickasa
Hatchee worth the medicines expended while
he shall be employed in driving the indians from
it. Though, as a soldier, he is bound to obey
the instruction of his Government and not to
comment upon its policy, he ventures to recom
mend that the Southern portion of the Terri
tory be assigned to the Seminoles, they hold
ing it On the express condition that they should
forfeit their right to it, if they should either
commit depredations upon the white inhabit
ants, or pass the boundaries allotted them with
out permission. We know not what is the
determination of Government on this subject.
It is understood that, the people of Florida are
averse to the measure, and anxiously press the
removal of the Indians from the enure penin
sula.
Copy of a letter from the Secretary of War, to Maj.
Gen. Jesup, dated
Department of War, )
March 1, 1838. $
Sin: I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the 11th of
February, which was delivered to me by you r
aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Linnard. The ob
ject of it is one deep interest, and I have
given to it the most diligent and respectful con
sideration.
In the present stage of our relations with
the Indians residing within the States and Ter
ritories east of the Mississippi, including the
Seminoles, it is useless to recur to the princi
ples and motives which induced the Govern
ment to determine their removal to the West.
Tiie acts of the Executive, and the laws of
Congress, evince a determination to carry out
the measure, and it is to be regarded as the
settled policy of the country. In pursuance
of this policy, the treaty of Payne’s Landing
was made with the Seminoles, and the charac
ter of the officer employed on the part of the
Government, is a guaranty of the perfectly fair
manner in which that negotiation was conduc
ted and concluded. Whether the Government
ought not to have waited untill the Seminoles
were pressed upon by the white population,
and their lands become necessary to the agri
cultural wants of the community, is not a ques
tion for the Executive now to consider. The
treaty lias been ratified, and is the law of the
land, and the constitutional duty of the Presi
dent requires that he should cause it to be exe
cuted. I cannot, therefore, authorize any ar
rangement with tiie Seminoles by which they
wi'i be permitted to remain, or assign them
anv portion of the Territory of Florida as their
future residence.
The Department indulged the hope, that
with the extensive means placed at your dispos
al, the war, by a vigorous effort, might be
brought to a close this campaign. If. howev
er, you are of opinion that, from the nature of
the country, and the character of the enemy,
such a result is impracticable, and th:>t it is ad
visable to make a tempQrary arrrangment with
the Seminoles, by which the safety of the set
tlements and the posts will be secured through
out the summer, you arc at liberty to do so.
lu that event, you will establish posts at Tam
pa, and on the Eastern Shore, and wherever
else they are, in your opinion, necessary' to pre
serve the peace of the country; and I would
suggest the propriety of leaving Colonel Zadoek
Taylor, of the First Infantry, in command of
them. In moving north with your so ces, you
may make similar arrangements with other
bands. I deem it, however, of great impor
tance that every exertion should be made to
chastise the marauding Indians, who have com
mitted depredations upon the inhabitants ot
Middle Florida. I beg you will address your
self to Col. James Gadsden for information on
the subject; and you may, if you think prop
er, yield to his suggestion of leaving a battal
ion for the protection of the people in that
neighborhood. It is hoped, however, that you
will be able to put it out of the power of these
Indians to do any further mischief. They
■ ought to be captured or destroyed. As soon
as, in your opinion, it can be done with safety,
you will reduce your force of mounted men
Loin Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
Very respectfully,
\ our most obedient servant,
J. R. POINSETT.

FRANKLIN.
A writer on Craniology, in Blackwood’s
Magazine, describing Franklin, says, the larg
nessof features made his brain appear smaller
than it was, His temperament, partaking a
good deal of the phlegmatic, gave him large
cheeks and a heavy chin. Never was there
an individual, however, more happily com
pounded by nature, Scercnciu his temper, —
virtuous and rational in his inclinations, —sage
in his schemes, —bis personal feelings and un
derstanding seem to have walked band in hand.
He was, like Socrates, not only wise in con
sequence of observation and thinking, but also
from the happy natural ingredients of his char
acter—wise even in his wishes. On examin
ing the portraits, we see a forehead apparently
well ad vanned, although not uncommonly high. !
It narrows a little from the lower part. His
metaphysical and comparative organs were !
probably less expanded than that of observa
tion. We see nothing here of that magnifi
cent pile of brain, in the upper part of the fore
head, which enabled Bacon to become the leg
islator of philosophers. Franklin had a good
ear for music, as also a turn for the mechanical
arts, which two organs help to spread the fore
head lately in the lower part. Farther up, the
sides of his forehead incline to fall inwards ; the
reason ot which is obvious, for he had little im- j
agination. Franklin was pious from reflection >
but had not by nature much ardor of devotion- \
al sentiment. He lived at a time when religi
ous opinions were so much canvassed as to
exercise rather the metaphysical faculties than
Ibe moral ones. Southern Lit. Messenger.

TII E NEW -YORKER.
ON the 21th day of March next, the subscribers will
commence the Fifth Volume of their journal, both
Folio and Quarto editions. No endeavors have thus
far been spared to render it worthy the patronage and
esteem of the public, and a corresponding spirit will an
imate our fu’ure exertions. Recent arrangements have
been effected, securing an accession of talent and en
ergy irj the editorial conduct of the work,' and insuring
greater variety as well as strength in this department of
the enterprize. It has been deemed a lesson df expe
rience that the unisrn of all the branches of Editorial la-]
bor, in a work so comprehensive as ours, in the hand?}
of a single individual —who is thus compelled to nay
simultaneous and unceasing attention to Literature, Pol-1
ities, Foreign Affairs, Domestic Occurrences, and every
subject of Interest—is not so well calculated to secure’
the highest efficiency in these various departments as a
system whit h embraces a partial though not absolute
division of intellectual labor.' Under this conviction;
the act. vc assistance as well as counsel of a gentleman,
favorably known in the higher walks of Literature have
been secured for the rn uir.g year, and that portion of
the paper more especially known as Literary will be
placed under his charge. The Political department,'
with a gem ral supervision of the eniirc work, will re
main w ith ii m who has hitherto been known to the pub
lic ns the Editor of the work. The City and Foreign
Department will devolve more especially upon Dr. Bed
rid ;e, who v. ill also lend h'i3 aid m advancing the liter
ary reputation of the paper. It is believed that hv this
arrangement a more complete and effeciivc knowledge
of the subjects treated of will be insured, while a more
real and palpable variety—a variety of manner as well
as matter—will result to our journal and its readers.
Ot the general character of The New-Yorker it is un
necessary to speak, since we do not propose to change
that which it has borne from its establishment. Circu
latingfor the last two years from f>,ooo to 9,000 copies
per week, through every State and city, and nearly ev
ery county, in the Union —it cannot be presumed un
known to the educated and intelligent. To those who
have not hi la rto made its acquaintance,it maybe prop
er to sta'e that it is characterized by two objects : the
one, of combining the greatest practicable amount of
useful and elevating information with the highest gen
eral juii rest; the other, of disseminating truth so far as
possible divested of the jaundice of prejudice and the
emu of party. In short, our motto is Impartiality, as dis
tinguished from the support of this or that pany, clique,
or faction, whether in lite ra'ure or politics. In conform
ing to this ony line, great care is taken against falling in
to the pernicious error—more fatal than the one we op
pose—.l suppressing or withholding important truth be
cause it has been made the theme of partisan conflict!
In regard to literature, we shall freely express our own
opinions, but accord a fair hearing to whatever may
stand opposed to them. In politics, our structures on
public measures and political doctrines will evince a
freedom tempered at all times by courtesy; and it will
be our untiring aim to exhibit the views of all parties
and sects, as se. forth by their leaders and oracles. In
this manner, we hope to render our journal a more lucid
and perfect history of the political contests of the times
than can fairly bo expected from any partisan paper.—'
A concise account of all political movements —convene
tions, nominations, &c. will be given, as well as of the]
resul.s ol all i! chons, and tables of the popular votes
cast therein. But, without entering further into partic
ulars, wc may s<ty that we shall endeavor to publish
such a j >urna[ as shall be deemed inferior in merit an<l
sc *pc t'i na weekly periodical ; and we hope to render
it popular without emptying into it w hole Novels, An
nuals and Jest Books, and to win readers and patrons,
wiihout offering them a bribe of a dozen romances as a
temptation.
The New- Yorker is published in two forms—the foil’d,'
or the common newspaper form, every Saturday morn
ing, on a large imperial sheet, at three dollars per an-'
num, or five dollars for two copies. Asa further in-'
ducement to uniting in subscriptions, five copies will be
sent for ten dollars remitted absolutely in advance, and
anv larger number in proportion.
The quarto edition is issued every Saturday evening.]
on a larger and liner sheet, intended expressly for bind
ing. Each number contains sixteen large pages of three
columns each, including a page of popular Music, and
excluding advertisements. It forms 2 ample volumes of
432 pages each per annum, and is afforded at four dol
lars ayt ar. Three copies, however, will be sent for ten
dollars ; and five dollars remitted free of charge will be
credited eighteen months. Subscriptions are respect
