foolish one, to celebrate the termination of ev
ery wedding with two or three volleys under
the windows of the apartment occupied by the
newly married couple. A few minutes after
Richard was surrounded by more than a doz
en voting men to whom he communicated his
instructions. ‘ Attention, gentlemen,’ said he,
« let us first, witli due order, proceed to the
distiibution of the muskets. You Basher, No.
1, you will take this. Simon, No. 2, that is
yours, and so he went on until he had called
out fourteen names. ‘ Chiefly, my friends, ’
added he, after he had done, ‘ be not toe hasty
for fear of mistake: you all know that the ri
fle you see in t.iai corner, ’ (and he pointed
to the angle of the chimney) ‘ belongs to Hen
ry, and that it is loaded with the same bullet that
killed the lynx : now would it not be a great
pity if one of you, through precipitation and
want of care was to lodge in the wall a missile
destined to some nobler aim V .
“Just at that moment Mr. Emery ran in : ‘be
ready my lads, ’ cried lie, pointing to a win
dow, at the extremity of the yard, which had
been suddenly illuminated; ‘our lovers have
just retired, let us wish them good night, and
in good style. ’ Immediately all rushed to the
guns in disorder with the impetuosity of a post
surprised by the enemy, and as the light which,
no doubt, stood in somebody’s way was then
•extinguished as if by chance, it was with diffi
culty and the last of all that Mr. Emery could
find his gun.
“From thr place I occupied I could plainly
perceive the interior of the bride’s room : I
could see Ilenry motionless, silently contem
plating his wife who was slowly divesting her
head of the virginal flowers with which it was
adorned ; and I anticipated a childish pleasure
from h t fear and surprise at the report, when
on a sudden the signal was given by Richard.
“ The sound of a pane of glass shivered to
pieces and a long distressing shriek pierced
me to the very soul.
“What an accident, Gr tat God ! what a mis
fortune ! or rather what a foul crime ! what
an atrocious murder!
Henry had fallen dead, killed by whom ?
No you would never guess the deep malice, the
ijfernal artifice of the murderer by the un
fortunate Mr. Emery into whose hands was
found the rifle of the victim.
“ Do you know that the application of the
law sometimes offers great difficulties. In
the present case the poor old man is certainly
innocent: every body knows it, he himself af
firms to have fired upwards and not horizon
tally in the direction of the fatal window, and
still", suppose for a moment, that you sit as
judge, what to think ? what to believe ? how to
reconcile your moral conviction with positive
proofs, with facts well established and undeni
able ?
“« Was there in the house a rifle loaded with
a bullet ? ’
“ * Yes. ’
“ 4 Did not that rifle belong to Ilenry W ? ’
“ ‘Yes. ’
« * Has not William Emery taken and fired
that rifle instead of his ? ’
“ 4 Yes. *
“ Therefore the logic conclusion was that
William Emery through carelessness or oth
erwise was really guilty.
“ Another proof equally irrefutable resulted
from the examination of the body. They
found the ball, which after having passed thro’
the stomach, had lodged in the medullary sub.
stance of the vertebral column ; and twenty
witnesses could not help declaring that it was
identically the same ball which had killed the
lynx and with which Ilenry had again loaded
Ills rifle.
44 Thus perished miserably in the bloom of
life, a victim to the blackest machination that
human depravity can conceive and perpetrate.
a young man whose virtues and good quali
ties deserved a better fate ! Thus ended this
first wedding night! Fatal Night! night o
death, which converted into weeds the white
robe of the bride !
44 The wretched father of Theresa did not
survive long t<« the dire calamity : despair led
him to the grave. He expired a few days be
fore a sentence of the Parliament of Paris pro
nounced him guilty of unvoluntarv manslaugh
ter on the person of Ilenry W. and condemn
ed him to confinement for a month and to a
fine of 500 francs.
“ At once a widow and an orphan, smitten
in her dearest affections, I was apprehensive
she could not resist the violence of her grief:
but under this frail envelope existed a soul
strongly tempered whose vigor I did not sus
pect.
“She struggled w'th adversity with admira
ble courage, aid such were the energ es of he
mind, that the death of Mr. Emery brought no
material cimnge m the administration of the
house, Tiie works were not interrupted for a
moment, and under her management, kept the
reputation of being one of the best cultivated
in all the province.
« But alas ! poor woman ! she could not
protect herself laom the effects of grief: it
moulded each of her features, and care sat on
her faded check, so lately decked with the ro
ses of health. Her eye before so sweet, in
which you could read a soul candid and happy,
lost to vivacity; her face became pale and
lean, her look severe, but in spite of such a
chance, she was still handsome, and if you had
seen her on certain days, when motionless, si.
lent, involved for hours in deep meditation, she
seemed to evocate one by one all the sad
thoughts of her heart, she would have appear
ed to you as one of those beautiful statues the
strange aspect of which inspires at once with
fear and admiration.
“ One year elapsed in this manner, and she
never opened her soul to me, she never unbur
dened in my bosom the least part of her afflic
tion. Concentrating within herselfthc distres
sing remembrance of the past, she never gave
vent to her anguish. Not a murmur, not a
word relating to the dreadful catastrophe is
sued from her lips, and I might have thought
she had forgotton those she had lost, had not
an object she always carried about her been a
proof to the contrary ; it was the bullet, which
after having saved her life, had killed her hus
bund, pledge precious and bloody, over which
she often shea bitter teurs in secret.
“ One day, I observed with surpise a great
change in her: there was in her physiog
nomy an expression that struck me; it was
not exactly joy, but something like it.
“ 4 My dear said she showing
me a paper she was convulsively rumbling be
tween her fingers, 4 l am going to tell thee a
piece of news that will surprise thee very much:
to-morrow I will be a bride for the second
time—l marry Richard ’
44 I looked at her, thinking her reason had
given way, and that she was raving. This
was the first time since Henry’s death that the
name of Richard was pronounced at the farm.
44 4 Yes, ’ continued she, 4 my most ardent
wish is at last fulfilled ; here is his letter —I
have waited long, very long, but thank Hea
ven ! to-morrow Richard will be mine. ’
44 I was so surprised, so stupified, that 1
could not answer. Her look, her voice, all
indicated that something strange was prepa
ring, and as dark suspicions now crossed my
mind and oppressed my heart, I began to
weep in silence.
44 4 Why these tears, ’ said she, 4 appreciate
better my happiness and my joy ; I feel that
my union with that man is essential to my fe
licity, and to-morrow will be the finest day of
my life. ’
44 Next day, Richard Schwartz, whom I had
not seen for more than one year, came to the
farm towards evening. In vain did he try to
compose his face, to affect a countenance calm
and serene, I could plainly see that his mind
was far from being at ease.
44 It was at midnight, in a remote chapel, and
before the only indispensable witnesses, that
was accomplished the most dismal sacrifice
my eyes have ever seen. Woful transaction,
which took place at night, as if it had feared
the light of the day, true work of darkness;
covenant dreadful and horrible, cemented by
Hell in presence of the god of eternal justice.
44 The fatal yes was no sooner uttered by
Theresa than Richard repented and looked
terrified ; but it was now too late, he did not
then belong to himself.
“When we arrived at the farm, every body
had retired to rest; we entered the house cau
tiously, like thieves who fear to be detected ;
and although Theresa endeavored then to ex
plain to Richard the reasons that had induced
her to envelope) their marriage with so much
mystery, reasons to which her recent misfor
tunes gave much probability, I could not for
bear a feeling of terror, when I found myself
alone with them in the bridal room.
44 It was a small apartment, supplied with
only one window, the aperture of which was
shut up with a thi ckgrating. At its extremity,
was a secret door which led through a private
staircase, to a gallery about fifteen feet above
the floor, and from which the eye could com
mand all the room.
44 We had been there only a few minutes,
when Theresa went to the door, and took the
key from it under pretence of going to prepare
something, then requesting me to hold the light
before her she went out and lockedjit up. 4 What
are you doing, ’ said I, 4 do you not see that
you are locking in Richard ? ’
44 4 Richard ?—Ah, say rather the infamous
murderer of Henry :’ and seizing n carbine
concealed at the foot of the stairs, she violently
broke from my embrace and flew to the fatal
gallery. ’
44 Then was displayed before my eyes a most
awful drama.
44 Below was Richard, pale, his looks all wild
with terror, and fully aware of the terrible ven
geance to which he was exposed.
44 Above appeared Theresa, brandishing the
gun she held full of emotion, wrath and ha
tred.
44 4 Richard Schwartz, ’ said she with a firm
voice, and pulling from her breast a white
handkerchief stained with blood— 4 Richard
Schwartz, dost thou see this blood ? It is the
blood of Henry whom thou hast most treach
erously murdered with thine own vile hand.—
Now if thou hast a soul, think of it, for as sure
as thou hast committed the crime, thou ai t go
ing to appear before God. ’
“Richard saw that there was no hope left
for him, he cast a rapid glance around for an is
sue, but he could find none.
44 Exasperated, furious, bouncing like a tiger
caught in a snare, he uttered dreadful impre
cations expressive of despair and rage; and his
bloody fingers were shaking the hinges of the
door, when Theresa levelled her gun. 4 To
thee, Richard, ’ cried she, 4 to thee murderer,
the punishment prescribed by the talion : this
is the ball which, through thy hands, has killed
Henry, my betrothed.
44 1 averted my eyes as she fired; and in
stantaneously the heavy sound of a falling body
announced to me the end of the long and pain
ful agony.
44 Ten minutes after, all were up in the farm,
some raising a corpse, others searching the
house for Theresa but she had disappeared,
and we could get no information about tier un
til the evening of the second day.
44 Distracted, frantic, she had thrown herself
in the river Ma n >, and her body shockingly
mangled had been found between the wheels
of a mill.
“‘This,’ concluded the poor woman, 4 is
the complete history of the ruins before us; ’
such are the events which have lefl me in the
world alone, unprotected and destitute. It was
an uncle of Theresa who inherited all her for
tune, but fearing the curse of Heaven on this
house, he would not live in it; it remained a
bandoned, and by degrees fell to ruins.”
Meantime, the stars were twinkling in the
firmament, and it was now time to go. I there
fore arose and went on, deeply affected by what
I had heard. I determined to relieve the mise
ry of the poor old woman, and in a few days
succeeded in procuring for her a comfortable
situation, where she will spend in peace the re
mainder of her life. ADOLPHUS M.

STAGE-COACH RECOLLECTIONS.
NO. IX.
Sandusky, Ohio, September, 1833.
To the Editor of the Southern Post:
Dear Sir :—My last, I think, left me on the Cana
dean side of the Niagara, returning thence to our own
shores, I passed immediately up by Rail Road to Buffa
lo, and, after a short tarry embarked on Lake Erie, in
one of the splendid floating hotels of the West, for
Cleaveland, Ohio.
This being tny first voyage on a fresh water sea, 1
was a stranger alike to its pleasures and its troubles, i
The boats are splendid, the cabins spacious, state rooms
neatly and comfortably fitted up, and living equal to
that of most of the hotels on terra firma. But look out
for storms; if you but chance to be here in a blow, the
horrible, disgusting scenes of sea sickness strews the
decks and cabins, with a lot of emaciated, miserable
looking Iteings, for whom the whole materia medico
finds no remedy. There is no bracing sea breeze here, |
to strengthen the nerves for resisting its overpowering j
debility, and nothing but smooth wattg, or terra firma, |
relieves the wretched sufferers. The Lake having
been a little rough, the first day we were out, of the
large number of ladies on board, scarcely more than
two or three were able to sit at table.
We left the boat at Cleaveland, about 200 miles up the
Lake. It is a beautiful and neat looking city, elevated
on a considerable plain above the water, and has quite
the appearance of thriving and active business. On
the opposite side of the inlet is Ohio city, already a con
siderable village.
Cleaveland derives a large space of its business and
importance from its being the terminus of the Great
Ohio canal, connecting the lakes with the Mississippi.
It commences here and extends to Portsmouth, on the
Ohio, upwards of three hundred miles.
We took a packet at Cleaveland, and travelled on
the canal about two hundred miles, occupying about
three days. The history of canal travelling has so
often been written, that I could scarcely expect to add
any thing new. If the boat is not too much crowded,
it is tolerably comfortable during the day, but at night
the little shelves upon which you are suspended, at the
sides of the cabin, some fourteen inches in width, and
scarcely six feet in length, offer any thing but comfort.
A short, lean, and gaunt subject, may, perhaps, by
suspending the entire muscular action, find himself in
the same position at the approach of day; but woe to
him who would turn his w eary limbs, he may find him
self on the cabin floor amid the wreck and crush of
matter. One good old lady, who had been kindly
blessed with an alderman’s rotundity, declared that
she could not find room for more than one half of her
corporation at a time, leaving the balance suspended
in mid air, by the power of cohesive attraction depend
ing upon the aid of holding on, to retain her position.
We left the canal near Columbus, and finding a
pleasant neighborhood and comfortable resting place,
remained a few days to recruit our exhausted strength.
The country is generally flat and uninteresting, espe
cially that traversed by the canal, which necessarily is
located in the most level situations; there are occasional
villages on the route, but none of any considerable
note. Around our retreat the country is more interest
ing, rich and undulating, and in a high state of cultiva
tion.
After a few days’ rest, we were again on our way to
the lake, via Columbus, the seat of government of this
state. Columbus stands on the banks of the Sciota, on
an high plain, contains probably tour or five thousand
inhabitants, and has many tasty buildings, some ol
which are valuable and interesting monuments of the
munificence of the state. A large lunatic hospital, an
asylum for the education of the Deaf and Dumb, and
another for the blind —all built on the most approved
plan by which the benevolence of the age has sought to
ameliorate the condition of those unfortunate classes of
individuals to whose use they are appropriated. The
present State House, a building of quite an inferior or
der, is to be removed, and another erected more com
mensurate with the wealth and growing importance of
the state—the materials for which are already collect
ing on the capitol square.
The route from Columbus to this city, passes over
some of the most valuable sections of the state, and
through several neat little villages. Worthington, the
location of the medico-botanical school, Delaw are, Bu
cyrus, &c. At the latter place, a short time since, in
excavating for a mili race, was discovered almost an
entire skeleton of the mastodon, in an excellent state
of preservation. Unfortunately for the indulgence of
our curiosity, we passed through the place late in the
night, and the landlord, who was the discoverer, being
awaked out of his sleep by the stage passengers, did not
feel willing to indulge us with a sight of this great won
der of the animal world. Mr. Peale, the enterprising pro
prietor of the Philadelphia! Museum is already in cor
respondence with the owner, and will, no doubt, soon
enrich his splendid collection with this interesting natu
ral curiosity.
In approaching Sandusky, we pass over a considera
ble extent of prairie country. I found, notwithstanding
the interesting descriptions of these natural meadows,
by Irving and Cooper, I had but an imperfect idea of
their variegated beauty. Instead of being, as I supposed
one vast expanse of meadows, without trees, or shrub,
there are, within short distances, clumps of trees and
islands, or (as they arc termed) of Woodland, some
times extending to several acres ol beautiful gravel.
A severe drought, such as has never been known
since the first settlement of the country, is now prevail
ing through this region, and has done much injury to
the late crops. The very abundant wheat crop, how
ever, which was harvested early, will secure to the
country an ample supply of the stall of life.
A sight of the blue waters of Lake Erie was very re
freshing, after having passed through the arid and
dusty region over which we have travelled, and though
we find Sandusky a pleasant and lively town, we are
impatiently awaiting the arrival of a boat, and hope
soon to be on our way to the eastward. X.

MACON:
Saturday Morning, November 10, 1838.
To Correspondents.
“The loves of an Attorney—bv a briefless Lawver” is
very well written, and shall receive a place in our
columns,provided thr author will conform to our estab
lished rule and give us his name.
Several other communications have been received, which will
receive attention on the return of the Editor.
Our friend 44 W. Bonypart Barlow, Esq.” is informed
that we had selected, for publication in Ihr present .Vo.,
the piece he alludes to in his letter to the Editor, (“ 7 'he
South thr natural home of Literature ,”) prior to receiv
ing his letter,but, owing to the length of the the Gover
nor’s Message, it unis hlid over for our nert impress-on.
On the Editor's return, the object of his letter will be
attended to, we hare no doubt.
Errata.
Our valuable correspondent 44 X” has pointed out
some glaring typographical errors to ns, which occurred
in the publication of his letters—and we take the pre
sent opportunity to correct them —to wit:
In 44 Stage-Coach Recollection, No. VI,” last para
graph, for “presented” read prevented, and “of this
house,” read at this place.
In 44 No. VII,” we made the form of the High Rock
Spring a comical one, when it should have read 44 coni
cal”—same paragraph, (third) ten lines below, for core
read 44 cone,” and fifth paragraph, six lines from the
bottom, for rale read 44 sale.”
As we deem the Governor’s Message, generally
speaking, an important document, we have given it
entire in our paper of to-day, that our country friends
may have an opportunity of perusing it to their entire
satisfaction.
Irtr The length of the Governor’s Message has cur
tailed, in a great measure, our opportunity of displaying
our “genus" in editorial writing, this week, in the ab
sence of the Editor. If he is not at his post next week
tee will endeavor to “ loom it.”

There has been a considerable increase in the re
ceipts for a week past. The prices are principally from
10 to 12 cents, strictly prime, 12J. Yesterday morning
one lot was sold at 12$.
We have struck off a few extra copies of the
Post, in order that we might be able to furnish new
subscribers with all the back numbers of the present
volume. Those wishing to have their numbers bound
can also be accommodated with any missing No.
The first number, volume second, of the “ Southern

pearance, with a request on the margin, for us to notice
it. Hffien we were young and dependant we had the
honor to make a similar request of the Southern Post,
which did not meet with a response. We are now
above benefit or injury at the hands of the Southern
Post. —[Loafers’ Journal.
{Cr Don't be so short, Mr. Journal—it was through a
mistake of ours that you were requested to notice the
44 Southern Post." The “request” was intended for a
paper ot greater magnitude and importance than the
44 Linfers’ Journal.” Persons who live in glass houses

Another Fire in Charleston.
By the Charleston Courier of Monday last, we learn
tiiat another fire occurred in that city on the morning
previous, which consumed the Coach Ware-house of
Messrs. Reynolds, Clark A Reynolds, in Meeting-street,
together with the work-shop and all the out buildings on
the premises—and the dwelling of Mr. John Strohecker,
on the adjoining lot The Theatre was in eminent
danger, and had it not been for the great exertions of
the firemen nnd citizens, must have fallen a prey to the
devouring clement
The Courier remarks, that “the loss of the proprietors
of the Coach establishment will, it is stated, he about
25,000 dollars, of which only 6,000 was insured, and
that was a risk on tlie stock.” Dr. Strohecker's house
was also uninsured, and is, therefore, a total low to that
gentleman. The Courier thinks that the fire was better
managed jthan any fire that has occurred in that city
for some time past —little confusion having occurred,
and the measures adopted for its suppression being
taken with a promptness and decision that caused them
to be efficient, and by this means prevented a con
flagration of the most dreadful character. It is
thought to be the work of an incendiary.
JKrThis being the season for fires, we would suggest
that our Fire Department be on the alert, and keep
themselves in readiness, in case of an alarm, to put a
stop to the conflagration before it should get the better
of us, and lay the greater potion ofour beautiful city in
ashes. One thing is greatly needed in our Fire De
partment —Hooks and Ladders—and we hope measures
will be be immediately taken to place the Fire Com
panies in possession of those very necessary and essen
tia! implements. As we deem this a very important
matter, w e may refer to it again, lest it should be over
looked and forgotten.
Portrait Painting.
By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen
that Mr. Loomis, Portrait Painter, has returned to this
city, and taken the room he formerly occupied over
{ Messrs. Rea Sc Cotton’s store. There is not a more
j pleasing relic among all the heir-looms of a family than
an exact transcript of a dear familiar face. It is a
solace in sorrow, long the friend or relative has past
! from us. and a companion and a pleasure even during
those temporary absences which so often sever friends
even in this life. A child, a parent, a sister, brother or
friend, and above all, the miniature of a pretty cousin,
with her cherub lips always revelling in smiles, and
her soft, liquid blatk eyes ever gushing in gladness—
to wear it, and that too, next to the place where poets,
painters, and philosophers, all agree ;s the source from
whence comes the spring-ride of the aflections, would
impart unimaginable bliss. Then why not wear it ?
Who is without that sweet blessing—a pretty cousin ?
and if you have one take her to the Artist und let him
impress her fair, young, lovely features upon the can
vass, ere the adverse winds of this cold world shall have
blown too roughly upon her beauty, and sorrjvv shall
have crossed the joys of that smiling face, through
which in after years, the trace of the original may be
seen.

DANGERS OF POVERTY.
A man, oppressed with pecuniary cares
and dangers must he next to a miracle, if he
have his mind in a state fit for intellectual la
bors—to say nothing of the temptations
arising from such distress,, o abandon good
principles, to suppress useful opinions and
useful facts—and, in short, to Isecome a dis
grace to his kindred, and an evil for his coun
try, instead of being an honor to the former
and a blessing to the latter. To be poor and
I independent, is very nearly an impossibility.

Morton’s Pulmonic Expectorant Cough
Syrup,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Consumptions and Whoop
ing Coughs.
V.MONG the numerous complaints w ith which the
human family are articled, none are more common
than coughs’ colds, Sec. and none more fatal in their re
suhs, unless timely care is taken to stop their progress
before they become too firmly seated upon the lungs.—
Notwithstanding the many remedies that have been of
fered to the public, not any have heretofore proved sue
ceessful iti procuring a certain and sjieedy relief.
The proprieter having been an eye witness (for sever
al years) of the astonishing virtues of this extraordinary
Medicine, at length deems it his duty to oiler it to the
public, in a way that it may receive a more extensive
circulation: and at a price that the poor may receive the
benefit of it as well as the rich.
This syrup is particularly effieatious in removing
coughs arising colds, attended with hoarseness and sore
ness a hont the windpipe; likewise shortness of breath
ing, tightness acros the breaht, accompanied with a
tickling cough: and in nl! consumptive cases its use is
uarticularlv recommended, likewise w hooping cough is
freatly relieved by its use —children laboring under this
ristressing disease, in innumerable instances have been
astonishingly benefitted in a few days: the pleasentness
of it is a great advantage, as children will take it w ith
as much p'easure ns they will preserves.
N. B. —The directions accompanying each bottle will
be signed by Wm. L. Perkins, the sole proprietor.—
Each bottle is scaled with the impression of morton’s
pclmonic expectorant cocgu syrup, plainly stamped
on it.
For certificates, see the directions.
