THE PRINTER. He stood there alone at that shadowy hour, By the swinging lamp dimly burning ; All silent within save the ticking type, > All without save the night watch |^ n( j f And heavily echoed the jg , ’f rozen ground. As slowly he paced mansions so lately that shone, And dark vgy 0 f festivity gleaming, W.ttarts that were beating in sympathy then, Were now living it o’er in their dreaming ; Yet the printer still worked at his lonely post, As slowly he gathered his mighty host. And there lay the merchant all pillowed in down, And building bright hopes for the morrow, Nor dreamed he that fate was then weaving a wand, That would bring to him fear and sorrow; Yet the printer was there in his shadowy room, And he set in his frame work that rich man’s doom. The young wife was sleeping, whom lately had bound The ties that dr ath only can sever ; And dreaming, she started, yet woke with a smile, For she thought they were parted forever; But the printer was clicking the type that would tell On the morrow the truth of that midnight spell. And there lay the statesman with feverish brow, And restless the pillow was pressing, For he felt through the shadowy mist of his dream His loftiest hopes now possessing ; Yet the printer worked on ’mid silence and gloom, And dug for ambition its lowliest tomb. And slowly that workman went gathering up His budget of grief and of gladness; A wreath for the noble, a grave for the low, For the happy a full cup of sadness; Strange stories of wonder to enchant the ear, And dark ones of terror to curdle with fear. Full strange the tales which that dark host shall bear, To palace and cot, on the morrow ; Oh! welcome, thrice welcome to many a heart, To many a bearer of sorrow, It shall go like the wind and wandering air, For life and its changes are impressed there. Mormon Marriage. The Seer continues its exposition of Celestial Marriage, as it calls the marriage institution of the Mormon Church. We make the following extracts: When a man who has a wife teaches her the law ofGod, as revealed to the ancient patriarchs, and as manifested by new revelation, and she refuses to give her consent for him to marry another, according to that law', then it becomes necessary for her to state before the President thej reasons why she withholds her consent. If her reasons are sufficent and justifiable, and the husband is found in the fault, or in transgressions then he is not permitted to take any step in re gard to obtaining another. But if the wife can show no good reason why she refuses to comply . with the law which was given unto Sarah of old, then it is lawful for her husband, if permitted by revelation through the prophet, to be married to others without her consent, and he will be justified, and she will be condemned, because she did not give them unto him, as Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham, and as Kachel and Leah gave Bilhah and Zilpah to their husband, Jacob. It is the duty of a man who takes another wife to look after her welfare and happiness, and to provide for her the comforts of life the same as for the first; for the Scripture, in speak ing of such a man, says: “If he take him anoth er wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish/’ (Exodus 21, 10.) There is no particular rule as regards the resi dence of the different branches of a family. It is very frequently the case that they all reside in the same dwelling, t and take hold unitedly, and with the greatest cherfulness, of the different bandies of household or domestic business, eat ing at the same table, and kindly looking after each others welfare, while the greatest peace and harmony prevail year after year. Their children play and associate together, with the greatest affection, as brothers and sisters; while each mother apparently manifests as much kind ness and tender regard for the children of others as for her own. And, morning and evening, when the husband calls together his family to worship the Lord and call upon his name, they all bow* the knee, and, with the greatest union of feeling, offer their devotions to the Most High. It is sometimes the case that the husband provides for his wives separate habitations, as Jacob did for his four wives, each of whom had a separate tent. (See Genesis, 31, 33.) Where all the wives are equally faithful, the v husband generally endeavors to treat them all without partiality. Jealousy is an evil with which the saints in | Utah are but seldom troubled: it is an evil that is not countenanced by either male or female; j and, should any indulge such a passion, they would bring a disgrace and reproach upon them- ! selves which they could not easily w ipe aw ay. And, indeed, it is very rare that there are any causes for jealousy, for the citizens of that Ter ritory think more of their virtue than they do of their lives. They know that, if they have any connections out of the marriage convenant, they i not only forfeit their lives by the law of God, I but they forfeit their salvation also. With such j views resting upon the minds of both old and young, the people have the greatest confidence in each other’s integrity ; they can entrust their wives and daughteas, without any distrust, to the protection and care of their neighbors. Un der the strict and rigid laws of virtue which pre vail, and are carried into general practice, wives | are not in constant fear of the inconstancy of their husbands; parents are not fearful of their childien being seduced and their characters be- | ing destroyed; neither are they fearful that their children will form contracts of marriage with out their consent; for such a thing is not allow ed in the whole Territory. Such a state of things actually existing, not in theory alone, but in general practice, removes every cause for | jealousy, distrust and want of confidence, and Jays a broad and permanent foundation for peace j and union. If a man ill-treats any of his wives, he is looked upon as having violated the law of God, and it is difficult for him to recover f om the disgrace. 1 here are more quarrelings, and jealousies, and disunions, and evil speakings, jn one week v , vaousand families, taken at random arn< m§ere j n the United States or England, than a !3uld be seen throughout all Utah Territory in five years. And there is more unvirtuous con duct practiced in one day in New York City, or Buffalo, or Cincinnati, or St. Louis, than would be practiced in Utah in a thousand generations, unless they greatly degenerated from their pres ent standard of morals. When a man and woman enter into matrirno | nial contracts and convenant to be each other’s j companion until death, they have claim upon ! each other for this life only ; when death comes, 1 their marriage contracts and covenants expire; and in the resurrection, however much they may desire to enjoy themselves in all the endeaing relationships of husband and wife, they will find that their contracts and convenants which were made for time only, give them no title to each other in eternity. Therefore, they will not be permitted under any conditions whatever to live together as husband and wife. But can they not j renew their contracts and be married again in that No; for Jesus says, “In the resur rection they neither marry nor are given in mar riage, ’but are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Mathew 22: 30.) Those who have not secur ed their marriage for eternity in this life, can never have it attended to hereafter; therefore, if they should through fathfulness even be saved,, 3 r et they would be no higher than the angels, and would be compelled to live separately and sing ly, and consequently without posterity, and would become servants to all eternity, for those j who are counted worthy to become kings and priests, and who will receive thrones and king doms, and an endless increase of prosperity, and inherit a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Such will need myiiads of servants as their kingdoms and dominions increase; and the numbers requisite will he found among those who kept not the higher law, but still rendered themselves worthy of an inferior reward. No uninspired man has authority from God to join together the male and female in the marriage convenant. Marriage is an ordinance of God, and we read that “What God hath joined to gether let no man put asunder.” (Matthew 19 ; 6.) Where man usurps authority to officiate in the ordinance of God,and joins together the sexes in marriage, such Unions are illegal in the sight ofGod, though they may be legal according to the laws and governments of men. The power to officiate in the ordinances of God has not been made upon the earth since the great apostacy, until the present century. Something like seventeen centuries have passed away since the authority was lost on the eastern hemisphere to administer in any of the ordinances of God. During that long period marriages have been celebrated according to the customs of humau governments, by uninspired men holding no au thority from God ; consequently, all their mar riages, like their baptisms, are illegal before the Lord. Point out to us a husband and wife that God has joined together from the second centu ry of the Christian era until the nineteenth, if any can. Such a phenomenon cannot be found among the Christians or Jews, Mehometans or Pagans. All are without prophets or inspired men, all are, without divine authority: none have had power to seal on earth the marriage convenant that it might be sealed in heaven; none during that long period have heard the voice of the Lord commanding them to officiate in those sacred ordinances. Marriages, then, among all nations, though legal according to the laws of men, have been illegal according to the laws, authority, and in stitutions of Heaven. All the children born during that long period, though legitimate ac cording to the customs and laws of nation, are illegitimate according to the order and authority of Heaven. Those things which are performed by the authority of men, God will overthrow and destroy, and they will bo void and of no ef fect in the day of the resurrection. from tbe Savannah Courier. The Burial Place o 1 Gen. Greene. S. T. Chapman, Esq. :— I noticed in the Georgian of yesterday morning, some remarks made upon the follow ing extract from the Providence Journal: “General Greene died in Georgia, and to this day no man knoweth of his sepulchre.” In the course of the remarks, the Georgian states, “we are informed that there is still living in Savannah, one \*ho having attended his funeral, can point out a small circle within which was his grave. The person to whom we allude, is Andrew Marshall, the aged Colored Pastor of one of the Colored Baptist Churches in this city.” I am aware that Mr. Marshall is very familiar with the traditionary history of Savannah ; more so, perhaps, than any person now living, who has enjoyed equal means of information. From his lips I have received statements concerning the revolution, and the period immediately succeeding it which were afterwards confirmed by in telligent soldiers of 1776. Pfr. Marshall, however, I think, cannot designate the spot where the remains of Gen eral Greene are to be found. Judge Johnston, in his life of Gen. Greene, says : “On the morning after his death, his corpse was brought down by water, and received oil the river bank by the military and municipality of the place. The citizens ail j followed in procession to the grave yard, which to the honor of Christianity, is in Savannah, common to alii sects, or all mankind ; and the funeral ceremony was read over the corpse by the Honorable William Stephens, as there was not at that time a minister of the gospel in the city. The body was then deposited in a vault, but the identical vault still remains a subject of inquiry. “The graves and vaults areal] disposed in regular rows; [ and there are four contiguous vaults, in one of those rows; in one of which four it is ascertained the body was deposfe ted, but which of them, still remains in doubt.” Some years ago a committee was appointed by the j City Council of Savannah to search for the remains. This committee examined several of the vaults, but eircumstan” ces prevented them from extending the search to all. I do not remember the names of the gentlemen composing the c >mmittee, but think two of them were Charles Har ris, Esq., and Mr. John Ash. Judge Johnston also says “that he had been repeatedly ! told by Judge Stephens, that the body of Gen Greene j lay in the tomb of the Joneses.” That tomb, when the Judge wrote, had not been searched ; and it was his opine j ion, that there was much evidence to prove that it was! placed at first in that of the Grahams. The Judge does not furnish the evidence for thinking that General Greene i was at first placed in the vault of the Grahams. There 1 is a gentleman now residing in Savannah, who has given I me the following history of the affair, and I have no doubt that Judge Johnston had received the same account. General Greene received from the State of Georgia a confiscated estate of a royalist, whose name I will not ; mention, together with the family vault in the Cemetery | as an appendage. This vault afterwards became the pro- j perty of Mrs. . My informant also states that I some time after the interment of General Greene, the above lady, accompanied by several of her confidential : servants, went to the Cemetery, removed the body and j buried it near the spot upon which the Quoit Club now assemble. It was said that in this vault had been placed j the remains of two British officers and Mrs. , wlm ! was a staunch royalist, regarded it as an indignity, that a rebel General should be placed beside two of the King’s officers. There is also another tradition, that Gen. Greene was placed in a vault belonging to the ancestors of Captain Robert W. Pooler, of this city. This gentleman informs me that his mother had frequently told him that Gen. Greene was placed in her family vault —that the C om mittee above referred to examined this vault, but couldnot find any traces of the remains. He also savs that it was generally understood that the heavy Silver Plate on the lid of the coffin was removed by a negro man named Joe who was employed to close the vault. This boy Joe, was a notorious thief ; having been particularly expert in stealing pigeons, he was generally known by the name of Pigeon Joe. Which of these statements the most re liable I do not pretend to say, hut it is my opinion that any search for the remains of Gen. Greene in the Ceme tery will be unsuccessful. Very respectfully, GEO. WHITE. (£! )t &mus mitr Sentinel Columbus, Georgia. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 16, 1853. Telegraphed Expressly for the Times & Sentinel. ARRIVAL OF Tll E 8T E AJI E R NIA GAR A. Mobile, Feb. 15,4. 48. P. M. The steamship Niagara arrived at New York yester- I day, bringing three days later intelligence than the At lantic. The cotton market at Liverpool was firm. Sales for three days prior to the sailing of the steamer amount ed to 55,000 bales. Middling Orleans 5 3-4 a 5 7-Bd, There is an advance of a 1 -16 a 1-S of a penny, caus | ed by erroneous impressions previously entertained of | tke amount of the incoming crop. Speculators took 15,000 bales ; Exporters 3,000 bales. Sales on Friday proceeding the sailing of the steamer, reached 9,000 bales. There have been imported since the sailing of the last steamer 27,000 bales. Stock on hand 593,000 bales. The New Orleans market is dull. No sales of mo ment to-day. The Mobile market is also flat and sales to-day are inconsiderable. Disunion and the Georgia Press. Several of our eotemporaries are still ringing the changes upon the worn-out theme of Disunion. It is a raw head and bloody bones, which they periodically ex hibit for the purpose of frightening their timid readers and of injuring the Southern Rights wing of the De mocracy. Why, gentlemen, it is a very old tune, with i which the public have become disgusted long ago. It j is an old thread-bare expedient which every body uu | derstands, and no one more thoroughly than the managers who resort to it. You only make yourselves the laughing stock of a discerning public, in allowing them to suppose that you really expect to frighten them with this ass in a lion’s skin. The cars are too prom inent to impose on a boy of 10 years. And our breth ren of the press who are guilty in the premises will pardon us for suggesting that a repetition of the same old story so often, exhibits a scarcity of ideas, which is truly lamentable- Neither the Editor of this paper nor the South ern Rights party ever were disunionists per se. — We believed that a bold and determined assertion of our rights at all hazards was the surest and most certain mode of preserving the Union, and of securing our rights. W r e publicly proclaimed that if the South would unite in the demand of justice at the hands of the North, that justice would be rendered. W r e taught that the Union was as dear to the North as it was to the South, and that war was as terrible to them as to us. Ou all these issues we suffered an ignominious ! defeat. Submission to wrong was decided to be pref- I erable to a bold and manly resistance, by every South j ern S.ate except South Carolina, and she, in the gener ! al defection, thought it prudent to forbear for the pres | ent the assertion of her independence. Under these un j toward circumstances, the Southern Rights Party fell | back upon the Georgia platform, ready and willing when i the emergency occurs which is contemplated by those ; resolutions to buckle on our armor and rally in the f front rank around the flag staff which the Union party i par excellence erected. We would here, respectfully, ask the Editors who indulge in the old cry of disunion,] what they meant by ! the Georgia Platform? Was it also a cheat to gull the people ? Or was it an houest declaration warm from the hearts of freemen ? Then, if there be treason in disunion sentiments, you are as guilty as we. You are prospective disunionists, if you are honest. We were never anything more. All this is so palpable to the most unlearned reader that we feel we encumber our columns by referring to the subject. “ Let the dead bury their dead” One more word as to our connection with the Demo cratic Party. The Union party had determined upon submission ; the Southern Rights party was broken, scattered and overwhelmed by defeat. We stood by the flag staff as long as a rag fluttered in the breeze. But tim6 rolled on —and new issues were presented. We were called on to choose between Scott, the friend of and the candidate of the abolition wing of the whig party ; and Pierce, the creation and choice of the southern de mocracy and a statesman who uniformly sustained the constitutional rights of the south both in congress and out of congress. We could not hesitate between them.— We threw our heart and pen into the scale of Pierce : and if we did anything in that contest lo overthrow Federalism and Abolitionism in the person of Scott and his backers, and to elevate a man to the Presidency whom we firmly believe to be a State Rights Republican, we thank God, and are content to bear the eoßsequon ces. If this defense is not satisfactory to that part of the press in Georgia which is disposed to censure us they will please continue to sing “that same old tune” of disunion until their own dull ears are tired of the melody. We will promise them a quiet time of it in future, though we fear their audience will be “a beggar ly account of empty boxes.” The Georgia Courier. We long ago noticed the establishment of a very spir ited paper in Lumpkin Geo,, by Messrs. Castellaw. By oversight of one of our compositors, a very compli mentary notice of the Soil of the South , taken from that paper and published in the Times & Sentinel, was \ not credited. The Editor of the Courier is very justly j offended at the oversight, lie cannot regret it more 1 than we. The whole value of the notice was lost by the omission of the proper credit. We assure our valued j contemporary that if we have “none of that spirit which will raise mortals to the skies,” we certainly are free from all taint of that “which would drag angels down,” Dramatic Exhibition. MR. and MRS. CRISP have arrived in our city. We call on our citizens to welcome them on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, at TEMPERANCE HALL, by a bumper audience. Our private letters assure us that Mr. and Mrs. Crisp are worthy of the attention which we solicit from the pub lic in their behalf. The press from New York to New Orleans speaks in unqualified praise of their Dramatic Talent. Their performance last night was very brillian and elici ted unbounded applause. Ole Bull’s Concert. The public will be pleased to learn that Ole Bull certainly give a concert in this city at Concert Hall, on Wednesday night 16th inst. He is unquestionably the greatest musical genius of the age. Mr. Crisp, who had engaged the Ilall for his Dramatic corps, has kind ly consented to give way for the great Violinist. His courtesy will be appreciated by our community.

Louisiana. —On the 9th, the Senate of Louisiana drew ; lots for the classification of its members. 9 Democrats and 7 Whigs drew tickets for the shortterm, and 9 Demo crats and 7 Whigs drew the long term- Mr. Pierce introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution so as to make the sessions of the Legislature biennial. Congressional. —in the Senate, on the 7th, the joint resolution affirming the doctrine ofMonroe was taken up. Mr. Clemens delivered an eloquent speech of an hour, against the policy of taking Cuba, of acquiring it by pur chase or any other way. He was content to wait with I Mr. Soule till it should come to us after a successful revo lution by the Cubanas, because he knew that he and the Senator would both be cold in the grave and forgotten be fore that revolution tvas commenced, much less comple ted. He dwelt with the utmost severity upon the extrmese into which the doctrine of progress would force this na ! tion. He was confident that a hundred Cubas could not induce Great Britain to a war with the United States, and have the bloody banner of “bread or blood” raised by j her own starving multitudes. Mr. Cass replied, reading some extracts from Ameri cans in Paris, sustaining his views on the subject. Mr. Douglass obtained the floor and the subject was j postponed till Monday next. j In the House of Representatives of the 9th ult., the j certificate of the electors for Vive President of the United : States were read, counted, and registered in the House of ! Representatives in the presence of tho members of the two branches of Congress. The President protein, of th e Senate, why presided on the occasion, announced that i Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, was duly elected | President, and Wiiliam R. King, Vice President of the ! United States, for four years, eommenciug on the fourth day of March next. In pursuance of a joint resolution, subsequently adopted, Mr, Hunter was appointed on the part of the Senate, and Messrs. Jones, of Tennessee, and Hibbard, on the pa.it of the House of Representatives, as a committee to wait upon General Pierce and Inform i him of his election. Washington, Feb. 11. —In the Senate, to-day Mr. Mason, of the Committee on Foreign Relations, pre sented tliirreport of the committee relative to the eo tablishment of the Balize colony. The report concludes i with a resolution, stating, in substance, that no action : is required on the subject at present—that tho Clayton ! and Bulwer treaty contains nothing that can be eonsid ! ered as affecting or recognizing the right of Great ; Britain to the English settlement at Honduras. Latest News. We learn from the Mobile papers that a large de falcation has occurred m the Post office at that place.— The matter is undergoing judicial investigation before B. B. Broedin U. S. Commissioner. Mr. Litcher, U. S. Minister to Mexico has arrived at j Washington city. The committe on Foreign Affairs in the Senate has | reported against the resolution of the Senate on the j Clayton and Bulwer Treaty. The Badger Case Settled. In the Senate on the 12th inst., the nomination of | Badger to the Bench of the Supreme Court was post j poned until the 4th March next. This is the second instance in the history of the Government in which the insult of selecting a Judge who did not render in the 1 circuit over which he was to preside was ever offered to the American people. We hope it will be the last. We are glad the Senate had moral firmness to assert a sound principle even in the face of an associate who is I as distinguished as Mr. Badger. New Jersey U. S. Senetors. John R. Thompson was elected, on Friday 11th by the Legislature of New Jersey, ns United States Sena | tor in the place of the Hon. Robert F. Stockton, re signed. Congressional. The U- S. Senate was engaged on Friday 11th, in debating the claims of the creditors of Texas. The Hon. I Samuel Houston, of Texas, addressed the Senate and denounced strongly the conduct of the speculators in Texas Bonds. Liquor Laics. —The Legislature of Rhode Island have passed the anti-liquor law. The people of Vermont have adopted by a heavy majority a very stringent anti liquor law. Senators. —Mr. Stockton has tendered in his resig nation of his seat in the Senate to the New Jersey Lio-- islature. There have further ballotings for U. S. Senator in the Maine Legislature; but no choice had been made at latest dates. On Saturday 12th, a fire occurred in Savannah on Maket square, and destroyed the store occupied hy G. B .nkmaun, and J. Siehel. The Arctic Expedition under Dr. Kane is organizing in New York rapidly, and will be ready to sail in May a?xt. A Resemblance. —“ Colonel Wilson is a fine looking man, ’ said a friend of ours the other and iv. \es, replied another, ‘*l was taken for him once. “\ou ! why you are the ugliest man lever saw.” “I don t care for that ; I was taken for him ; I endorsed his note, and was taken for him—bv the sheriff’s officer.” y Indian Portrait Gallery, We have had the pleasure of inspecting the 3d volume folio edition of this interesting work, and take pleasure in commending it to the public. Wc find in the Mobile Register , the following just and appropriate notice of it, which will be read with in terest. The Red Men of the United States.—ln the museum chamber of the Patent office, at Wash ington City, there is a very large collection of por traits of the principal chiefs and warriors of the va rious aboriginal tribes of our country, who have at different times visited the national capitol. It be came the policy of our government at an early pe riod to have these pictures executed by skillful ar tists, as memorials of the singular people who once held entire dominion, but who hajje been steadily hiding away before the progress of our population. The Gallery now embraces several hundred pic tures, presenting, individuals from almost even “nation,” in their peculiar costumes aud decorations, and with their appropriate implements ot war or peace. It is altogether one of the most interes - ing spectacles in Washington ; and we have often passed in gazing hours on the marked physiogno mies of these Red Patriarchs of our land, many of whom, Tecumseh, Brandt, Pushmateha, and Black Hawk, have been celebrated for their warlike deeds, and others, as Guess, (the inventor of tho Cherokee alphabet,) Red Jacket, (the Seneca ora tor,) Turtle Field, (the native missionary,) and Ross and Ridge (wise couiAellors and diplomatists.) were equally distinguished in the paths of peace. The idea of the Gallery was, we believe, orig inated by Col. Thomas L. McKenny, when he was at tha bead of the Indian Bureau, attached to the War Department, in which the Gallery was first established. Long in that office, Col. McKin ny also engaged himself in collecting from the va rious Indian delegations, who visited the capitol, as full information as possible in reference to the his tory of their tribes, the biographies of tho warriors and chieftains themseives, and everything that could throw ilight upon the institutions, manneis, customs, languages and fortunes of the aboriginal I race. The opportunity was evidently the finest that could he desired tor the purpose. I lie numbers of this magnificent work having been completed, they were collected and bound up in the most superb style, forming three large vol umes, which have never been surpassed in this coun try. We regard the work as forming in its com plete state, the most valuable addition ever made to our aboriginal history, and as the proudest achievement of the American press. We know no publicati< n we can more heartily and truthfully commend to the public. It is a rich treas ury of information in relation to the Indian Tribes ot our country. It abounds in the most romantic and thrilling narrative as to their savage wars, their feats of personal hazard and prowess, their cruel unci bloody rites 5 their wild and fantastic ccreino nies, their singular amusements, the eloquej§g °f tlieii oiators, the wisdom of their sages, Itfiß-tMtho wit and humor, and grotesque follies abounding in their midst. Ad the circumstances attending the perilous progress ot our pioneer and border settle ments, trom the times of Powhattan and Pocahou ! tas, to those of Oceola and Billy Bowlegs, will be. found in those volumes—while the embellishments will bring the fierce chieftain or unlettered orator, almost personally present before the reader. T° e . P co ple ot Alabama these volumes have a special interest.
