During the brief year ot its existence, it has been favorably re eived, and now enjoys a steadily increasing patronage and sale of 5 to 6 OUO copies per week. Tne Political character of The Whig is fully indi cated by its title. It will support the cause of Consti tutional Liberty, Social Order, and ihe Supremacy of the Laws with its whole heart and soui, and expose corrup’ion, peculation.

It will call knavery and hypocrisy by their righ names, and hold them up to the contempt of a deceived aud despoiled people. Briefly, it will labor to restore the good old days when integrity and ability were the chief passpo ts to pubhc -tation. anJ when high functionaries seriously implica ted in peculation and gross negiect of duty would have scorned o hold otfic • an hour until the charges were o i trial disproved and overthrown.

I love this blight, this Southern land, The land of .ragrant flowers ; A clime perfum’d with every sweet, From Flora's richest bowers ; But still tny heart, though glad it throbs, How ever far I roam, Turns fondly back to northern climes ; New England is my home. I love this balmy. Southern breeze, This land so >w et ana bright; I love its moonlit eve socami, Its siaritt brt uant nignt Though tut less bright in colder climes, My heart can never roam; Still loving this oweet land of flowers, New England is my home. I love this perfumed, fragrant air, But stiu could welcome northern blasts, AY i.teh ft at home we greet. For though in southern climes I dwell, On southern shores 1 roam ; My heart slid fondiy turns on thee, My ioved New England home. Though southern liearis are warm and true, And kind the tones which greet; The voice of earlier friem.s I’d hear, TANARUS! ose accents doubly sweet. But oh! ilus heart turns warm .o thee, N ‘ 1 wever far I roam ; Though other land may boast their charm, N> w England is iny home. My nor hern home, though it can boast Much that is bright and rare ; Its flowers—its- dime—ns solt, sweet breeze, AYi'.h this canno. compare But while in fragrant ciimes I dwell, My heart can never roam ; Slid, hough 1 love ihe balmy South, New England is my home. Mobile, April 15 h. 1839. Augusta. • From Hie Auiciiottii Museum. THE HANDSOME STRANGER. AN 01.11 gentleman’s sjorv. It was on a fine spring nun ning, some years since, inai I louml myseil in one ol inose nuisances vviiicti, tor tne convenience of llie paiieui public, so long plied between New k orU.and Hung Island, I mean an old Brook lyn steamboat—now,’thanks to the enterprise ol a lew individuals, replaced by commodi ous and i.eat terry boats. A> it is my dispo sition to seek always for the hidden good in every apparent evil, and from the most uii comlorlutile situaiion to extract at least, amusement, i turn, and my attention to the stu dy ol the human face divine as exhibited in the dirty, crowded cabin. In such an assem blage as i usually lbund in such places, there must be ol necessity, a large proportion of insignificant, mexpitssive, and unagreeable countenances; but the eye that seeks for the beautilul and the good can seldom roam through a crowded circle willimit finding, at least one brow on which it may rest with pleasure. On the morning hi question, I was struck with the exceeding beauty of a head immediately opposite me. A group of two or tinee persons stood between me and the individual that had attracted my attention, so that I could see nothing hut the head —and l I certainly never saw a more exquisite speci men ol male beamy. It seemed like a vivi fication oi one ol Vandyke’s magnificent por traits. The aai k, clear complexion—the fine ly chiselled features—the -superb curb of the crimson lips—the broad aieli of the expan sive lorehead, and ttie full, dat k eyes lighted up with an almost dazzling brilliancy lormed a combination of beauty, such as the old Ital ian mastcis may have sometimes beheld, when Venice was the ocean queen, and her children among the fairest as well as the noblest of theeaith. The eyes were apparently fixed on the glimpse of blue skv visible through the narrow window, while the marble stillness of the countenance, and almost rigid tranquility ol the leatures, made me feel as if I was, in very tiutli, gazing on some wonderous tri umph of the painter’s art. While I looked, a sudden turn of the boat brought the lull glare of the morning sun di rectly upon those singular eyes, but the radi ance winch fell vvilii almost blinding power on the laces of ttjo.se around, seemed to be to him bm as ilie light oi a farthing candle : bis glance quailed not lor an instant, even when it met the blaze'bf the meridian sun. My imagination was busy employed in weav ing a fancy web of romantic history, lor this rarely gilted individual. But I was sudden,v recalled to every day Me by the arrival of the boat at the terry, and the usual scramble to get on shore. 1 tiien perceived that this magnificent head had actua.ly been wasted upon a miserable, shrunken, crooked body, that might have personated Richard the 3d, as Stephen Kemble is said to have played Falstalf, ‘ without stuffing.’ He was, evi dently, l an unfortunate gentleman.’ His habiliments had certainly not been ‘ made to order,’ and had long since lost all claim to the gentility they might have possessed when be first received them in all the gloss of a Chat ham street rilacciamento. Altogether be was an anomaly. If a wlum-ical sculptor should have joined the god-like head of Apollo to the distorted body of Vulcan, the effect could scarcely have been more grotesque. I amus ed myself as I walked up Fulton, with en deavoring to form some idea of what possi ble use the rare gift of beauty would ever be to this shay waif upon t e world ; but I could fancy it of no other utility than to ex cue the sympathy of some good natuied serving wench, when at some future day its possessor accompanied Old Hays to Bride well. About two years afterwards, I was spend ing a few weeks at the Springs, when the lit tle community of fashionables was thrown into commotion bv the arrival of a splendid car nage, with outriders, said to contain San Altesse the Duke del Piombino. Any one that has ever spent a week at Saratoga, will not easily forget the insane passion which is there exhibited lor foreign fashions, and, above all foreign titles. In fact 1 have heard it seriously asseried, that a well trained ou rang oMang, furnished witli a title as a pass port, and a meeraliaum as an excuse for bis silence might obtain access to the • best socie ty’ ol even our own proud city of Gotham, without much difficulty. The arrival of the Duke del Piombino created of course a very great sensation ; and many an old-fashioned pappa was teazed into a promise of making an etlbrt to compass the Duke’s acquaintance in the course of the day, that their daughteis might have the honor of his hand in the even ing dance. Never had Saratoga beheld a more splendid galaxy of beauty than that which graced the ball that night. But, alas! the blaze of charms was powerless. The Duke was not present. Indeed his highness seemed determined to disappoint all calcula tion. For three days he was tot) unwell to leave his room; and innumerable were the stone bottles of Congress water that were carried to that honored apartment. For three days his own six servants, and about half a dozen others belonging to the house were kept constantly employed in attending upon him. In the mean time curiosity was excited to an almost painful degree. The femmes des chatnbre belonging to the establishment endeavored to learn something from bis ser vants but with little success. His coachman and outriders were mere Irish hostlers picked up in New York, and his valet, the only one capable of giving any information, a stiff. formal Englishman with a strongly marked Jewish physiognomy, only stated that his master lias left JEuiope incognito lo avoid no toriety. Ou the evening of the third day he ap peared at the tea table. Every eye was fix ed upon him as he entered the room, and even the gentlemen acknovvledgee that he was well worthy of attention. He was attired in the r.ch uniform of an Austrian Colonel of Huz zars and a short Spanish cloak of black vel vet, such as we often see in theatrical cos tume, was flung carelessly over one shoulder; wmle the ladies did not tail to observe that tiie clasp of his cloak, together with his breast- pin and ring were of diamonds. But pictu resque as was his dress, it was scarcely no ticed by those who were enabled to take a view of his countenance. The soft, lustrous eyes, the superb forehead, the exquisite mouth and the By tome chin ol the noble duke were exhaustless themes of admiration. His whis kers were quite unexceptionable—lns minis faclie was the very bow of cupitl, and when someone ventured to hint that if his features were examined critically his nose would be found to be a little too aqua line—a little too nearly approaching to the Jewish conforma tion, the suggestion was treated with such merited scorn as envy should always receive. I gazed on him a lo ig time with that dubious leeling of half recognition which sometimes haunts us like a remembered dream. I could not recollect that I bad ever been iu company with the Duke, and yet I was sore that his face was not unfamiliar to me. Great were the heart-burnings that night in the ball room. His highness did not dance, but amused himself with watching the many lovely forms that floated amid the mazes of the bewitching waltz. Many a blight eye gr*-w brighter beneath his glance—many a lair cheek blushed ‘celestial rosy red’ as the dancer’s gossamer robe brushed the velvet trappings of the noble stranger. The next day the duke exhibited himself on horseback, and thus afforded us an oppor tunity of observing bis small and beautiful foot. His form was evidently diminutive, but the grace!ul cloak which seemed his constant companion forbade us to discover its propor tions, aud all were willing to believe that where the head was so fine, and the extremi ties so well shaped, the figure also must he good. As he rode slowly away the same vague feeling of recognition passed through my mind; and as be dismounted afier bis re turn, i discovered the mystery. His horse, alarmed by some unwonted sound, turned short round as he was about alighting, and to avoid an appearance of awkwardness, he was compelled to dismount with the sun full m his eyes. He raised his head and met the lull blaze of light, without a momentary drop ping ul the eye-lid—and this simple incident at once dissipaled all my doubts. He was the strange individual I had met on board the steamboat—the handsome stranger. Mv suspicions once aroused, I determined lo watch the duke very narrowly, and dis cover, if possible, the meaning of this stir prising metamorphose. I Ibutid him gradually making himself acquainted with the loveliest among the females, and the richest among the men. His equipage and servants were always at! the command wf the ladies whom he honored with lus admiration, and their brothers could not be so unreasonable as to object to an acquaintance wiih a man who displayed the decorations of innumerable orders of knight hood —who hinted his consanguinity with the blood royal of France; and above all who lost his money at billiards with so much grace aud dignity. Among the belles of the season, Matilda Easton, the orphan heiress of a southern planter, was conspicuous. She had visited the Springs under the protection of her aunt, a sentimental spinster of the old school, who doated on the production of the ‘Minerva Press,’ and expected ail kinds of romantic improbabilities fiom the charms of ln*r be witching niece. Matilda was ceriainlv a splendid creature, and vvuh a little more self dislrust wouki have been a very lovely woman; but, born at the south, and surrounded hy slaves from her infancy, she had learned to look upon herself as a sort of earthly divinity whom men ought to worship rather than presume to love. She was just twenty, and iu actual possession of her immense fortune ; it was no wonder, therefore, the duke singled her her out as the object of his special aiten tion. The undisguised delight with which Matilda enjoyed the tri rtipli over her rivals, first made me doubt the betier qualities of her nature. I, using the privilege of mv years, endeavored in vain Jo arouse her sus picions. ami to awaken her to a full sense of the danger she was incurring iu this intima cy—but she was too self-wiled lo listen to an old man’s caution, and nothing was left to me but to look on while the game was played. In the course of a short time the billiard players found that the stranger could iciti mo- ney as amiably as he once lost it, and many a precipitate retreat from the summer abode of,fashion, might be attributed to the grace with which the noble Duke presided over the table of fortune. Many a young dandy, who had dealt out the highest encomiums on his highness’ affability, was ob'iged to add his re grets that a republican purse vvas quite insuf ficient to support so aristocratic an acquain tance. In the meantime the singular beauty of his countenance seemed to serve Inn) in stead of a letter of credit, and wherever he went he was sure of being well received.— ‘ Why does he always wear that cloak?’ I asked Matilda, to whom he professed to have narrated many incidents in his life. ‘Oh, there is a very romatic story connected with it,’ replied she ‘ but it was related to me un der a promise of secrecy; I can tell von enough, however, to account for his always wearing it. While travelling through Calabria he was fortunate enough io rescue a Spanish Prince from the hands of banditti; in the sudden impulse of gratitude the Prince threw his own cloak, with its splendid diamond clasp, on the Duke’s shoulders, and exacted from him a promise never to appear without it until they should meet again.’ * How long since this romantic adventure occurred V I asked.- ‘About three years.’ ‘The Duke has been extremely careful of his royal gift, if he has been able to retain its first gloss'so long,’said I; but Matilda deigned no reply to my intiendo, and I questioned her no far ther. I remained an anxious, though not an interesied spectator of the proceed mgs, until I learned that Matilda had broken off a en gagement of a year’s slandingwiih her cousin, a promising lawyer in Charleston, and then, in disgust, I quitted the Springs. I had been hut.a lew days rmy old winter lodgings in the Cstv Hotel, when I found the Duke of Piombir.o was among us. Matilda had returned to her splendid house near the Battery and the Duke took up his abode in the vicinity, determined to follow up his ad vantage. Living m the house with him, I could not but olserve the admirable manne in which he conducted his mai auvres. H 8 fine hoisemanship—his skill in nnisic—hs vast erudition—all were topics of piaise in the cireles where he visited ; but I could not divest myself of the belief that equestrian skill was all that he actually possessed. The pic turesque beauty of his attitude as he flung back the drapery of his short cloak ; and stri king a lew cords on the guitar, breathed in a low, sweet voice some simple French or Span ish love song, was enough to disarm all criti cism, and many a sensible girl charmed by the magic of his tones forgot to ask whether it was the gill of nature, or die effect of cul tivation. His reputation for learning, he waa carelul not to endanger. Allusion to strange personal adventures were much more common in his month than philosopical discussions, and he had a tact seldom equalled in turning the conversation from books to things, from actions to persons. At length 1 received a enrd to attend th® wedding of the rich and beautiful Matilda Easton. How shall I describe the fairy-like beauty with which her magnificent ab*>de was filled on that festal night ? The room* were converted into Turkish pa villions of un equalled splendor, hangings of silk and gold covered the walls, cushions of eider down, covered with the costliest satins, were piled upon the floors, the staircases were crowded with the richest exotics, and every thing wore tlit appearance of an oriental festival. 1 he guests were attired with proportionate richness, but murmurs of admiration echoed through the rooms as the bridal party enter ed. Six bridesmaids attended the stately bride, who, in her ricli robe of white velvet, embroidered with silver and looped with dia monds, looked ‘ every inch a queen!’ The ordinary splendor of the duke’s attire left no. opportunity for greater display that evening, hut the almost radiant beau v of his counte nance, flushed as it was with triumph, was noticed bv all. The next morning the happy pair left the city for Washington, hut before dinner tim® all the Broadway loungers were whispering some strange story about the duke’s cloak. It was said that it had been worn less to pro duce a graceful effect than to hide a most un graceful deformity—in short the lady's lem me de chambre has discovered that the noble bridegroom had a hump hack. A few months after, Matilda’s vast pro perty was converted into bills of exchange, and they departed for Europe, intending to make the grand tour, while the ancient palace ol the ducal territory of Piombino should he newly furnished, to receive its republican mis tress. Poor Matilda f Bhe has been for some time hoarder in a ennveiß in the south of I* ranee. Her pride will not allow her to re turn to her native land, and the remnant of ; her fortune has enabled her to- putchase a home among strangers. l'iie discovery winch she made ol his personal deformity was the firs: shock she encountered ; but, to reconcile her to tins he had shown her a flew de lys stamped deeply on his shoulder as with a hot iron, which he informed her, under a solemn injunction ol secrecy, was an indisputable proof wf his Bourbon blood, as all members ol the royal family received that impression immediately after birth. This served to console the ambitious wile for many sorrows. She saw her money wasted at the gaming table—she heard her husband spoken ligntly of among his servants —she felt his estrangement from herself, but still she ceas ed not to pride herself in the thought that she vvas the wife a prince of the blood. But the final blow came, A party of gens de armes one day entered their magnificent hotel and seized him as a felon escaped front the gal lies. The Jltur de lys , the proof of his nival birth was in fact the badge of merited infa my ! His history may be told in * few words. He was a French Jew, whose original em ployment had been the never lading resoujc® ol the poor Israelite—dealing in old clothes. Five years previous he had been branded and condemned to the gallies for swindling, but having succeeded in making his escape, he determined to push his fortunes in America. ‘Ce n’esl que le premier pas qui cent.’ A run of luck at the gaming table gave him lunds to commence his grand experiment— an accomplice less favored by nature, as sumed the station oF his valet, while he play ed to perfection the noble duke, and we have already seen how he succeeded. Whether his career is yet ended I cannot say, but my last meeting with the noble duke ♦lei Piombino was during a visit to Fiance a few months sidee, when I saw him chained by the neck to a fellow scoundrel, and busily employed in mending the mad near Paris. Tlie fate of the lovely Matilda is a melan choly one; but who ol the loungers in fash ionable hie cannot recal a somewhat similar case! When we shall cease to ape foreign follies and foreign vices—when we shall learn to value the title of ‘ American citizen’ above the proudest pedigree that Europecan boast, then, and not till then, shall wc cease to hear of such things. The Infernal Passage. —A passage between two of tiiese lakes, was so called because it was perfectly filled with a species of small gnat, whose siing was instantaneous and ex cessively painful. There was no way of keeping them at bay. They attacked our very eyelids, lips, nostrils, and’ the interior of the ears! All the flapping of hands and handkerchiefs was entirely without avail against the countless legions of such blood itursty and tormenting animals. Asa last resource we were obli’ged to roll ourselves comp etely up in sheets ; yet within these folds, friendly as they were, we well nigh endured all the horrors of suffocation, not daring to leave even space sufficient for respiration; for the very moment the smallest aperture was made in our wrapper, in poured a stream of these malignant little wretches. Never shall I speak disparagingly of mos chetoes again after this acquantance with the gnats that infest the Chinegns of Santa Miria. However, i: was some little relief to the torment we suffered just to cast an occa sional glance upon the whole company, thus employed : the quickness of their motions, their extravagant antics, their faces swollen with rage and bites, all j>ind to present a picture in which the pa nful and ridiculous were peifectly hlended. The eff. c:s of these bites las ed much longer than those of the moschetoes, and we were obliged to make use of a wash of laudanum and extract of’ lead, in order to allay the constant irritation produced.— Steicart’s Bogota.
