[From th * Mobile Tribune 1 > Plutarch Pictures. GEORGE MC DUFFIE. OK nil the <!Utitigui*!ie I meti of Sou I Garnli-a, there was none more titled flat Geor;e MeDufii'. He was a star of the fi> magnitude. Honest and sincere in aii Ills ac | tions—a profound jurist—a stitesuiaii of the lar pest exferience, he represented his State so many vears in the national councils with a tie votiou that endeared him to his constituents and a fullness of knowledge, that placed him i the first rank oflepi lat trs. His speeches, am his repo its as Chairman of the Committee oi Ways ami Means, not only established hisrepu tatirin in America, hut ill Eunqe he was hailcit as the cliainpion of free trade, ami couij limeii ted by the statesmen of Ennl md, as one >f the master *, i itg of the age. His life, if w litten by a competent hand, would make a very inter* at inp hiopraphv. It would exhibit a poor hoy in the liumhie walks of life, environed with diffi culties. yet stirnn tinting tlio.-e difficulties ui.ii an iron will, that ultimately elevated him to a posit'on that commanded the profound respect and admiration of his cotemporaries. His ca reer in Congress is too generally known for u> to do more than give it a passing glance; and xuch was the es filiation in which he was held by General Jackson that, notwithstanding tiie vio lence of the nuiiifica ion controvessy, the old President uniformly expressed the most affeo tionate regard for McDuffie, saying repeatedly “that if there was an honest man alive that man was George Mcl'utfie.’’ He was undoubtedly one of the most intellectual men of the age; hi* mind was eminently logical, and you shall try in vain to find a Haw in his arguments. One might have differed w ith him in the piincipleshe expressed, hut to grant his premises was to con cede the argument His contests with Webster leave no doubt as to the splendor of his inteli et; Wis report on the United States Bank, was the ablest argument ever made on that side of the quea ion ; and his speeches on internal improve ments, the tariff, the removal of the deposits, and on the expediency of amending the consti tution, are all masterly, and seem to exhaust those subjects. When he rose to speak, there was . lwavs a death-like ilenee iti the House—you mig-.t have heard a pin drop. His burning enthusiasm, the sparkling of his splendid grey eye, the emphatic enunciation that accompanied every wtud, held you captive, and step by step lie buried you along with him. from point to point, until you were subdued by the fascinating fervor of his t l ansefri.dt nt genius. Nor was ho defieiem in sarcasm ; his speeches in reply to the att cks of that miserable compound of vulgarity and i npu deuce. ‘Pristram Barges3, abound in wit and hu mor. His comparing Genera-J Jackson to Jupi ter Tonans, in which Ju ( itei is represented as seizing the arms of all the Gods, wielding the j powers of the Pantheon, and giving “the s amp of Fate,” was one oi the happie.-t illustr itions ofex< entive spoliation that has ever been exhibi ted by any orator of any age or nation. It was woill yof Demosthenes! His seat in the convention was to the left of the President, and in the viciuity of Major Ham ilton. the revolutionary veteran. You could have recognized McDuffie at agl nice. He was ol the medium height, and dressed in a claret colored coat that was much too large for him; but fus intellectual face attracted yon at. once, especially when his splendid eve was fired by the excitement of discussion. His hair was black. and cut with mathematical preci-ion, st aiglit from temple to temple, and smoothed down so as to display the shape of his head, which was large and ndmrahly so med But, alas! there is a hectic flush upon his pale cheek ; you perceive that he is daily dying from the im medicable wound he received in bis youth His bands are trembling violently. He is up! but bis voice is clear and calm, bis enunciation dis tinct,aud his manner emphatic. Uttering a bold proposition, he pauses,and his eagle eye glances round the assembly. All is hu-hed. You might hear your heart beat. But now he dashes into the argument, and you see an intellectual war ti r before you, brandishing the armor of truth, and wielding the ham! injustice for liberty ami the lights ot man. He sp -aks like oneiuspfied— bis thoughts, words and action, are suhlime— a:,d when he pauses, as ii to make a migl tier effort, you feel like one entranced, and gaze with wonder at the man whose magic mind and eloquence have bound you captive to his trium phal car. M’Duffle rose rapidly from obscurity to emi nence,dividing the future, in the .pinion of many, with Mr. Calhoun, who was the first to recog nise and to tosti r the fortunes of the orphan boy. He stepped at once to the head of the bar, arid until his election to Congress he had no com petitor in South Carolina,as a lawyer. His prac tice was very lucrative, and perhaps no lawyer ever acquired so large a fortune in so short a time. In ids marriage, too, he was fortunate, leading to the altar one of the wealthiest beauties of land—a daughter of Colonel Richard Sin gleton. 111 ‘ manners, M‘Duffie had the simplicity of a child. YVe shall relate an instance which is characteristic of the man. “Your Mr. M’Duffie is a very singular person !’’ said \,ung lad\ to us on one occasion. “How so (” “YViiv, 1 was at the springs, a lew months since, and learning that the great Mr. M’Duffie was in the house, 1 w* nt into the con idor to catch ;> glimpse of him, when who should app oach me bui t e great man himself, saying Alias l nave lost my hat ; won’t von lulpme to hunt f. fi ?” “Os course you eid “Yes,” replied the lady, ‘ and found it!” And his appearance, on ordi.ia v oc casions, was any tiling out distingue. YVe shall relate an anecdote that occurie<i oly a few davs befo;e his election as Govei nor of rhe State. \Y were standing by his side in the House of Rep leseiitatives, when a member from Charleston Major John Huger, approached M Duffie, am said, “Give me that chai. ; t wish it for Cob.m i YYanen.” “Certainly, **,, replied M’Duffi am landed the chair to Major Huger, who took i to old CoiontlYVarrer,requ sting him to reliev, itiii.seli f out the pain of supporting himself o .Jb crutch, for tire old hem had lost a leg at tin * feav * ri,,ah - A gentleman—we think . riekens Builer, the present Senator in (Jot I MaioTiT 10 lh occmreuce, dev f J Huger aside, sayiug, “YVhat have you ‘one?’* “Who —what ?’’exd dined Huger, for the tone of Butler apprised him t lat he had com* niited some gii v .us blunder. “Done, why could you find no chai for Col YVarre.i, blit the ne occupied by Mr. M Duffie ? * “Mr. who •xdaimed Huger,almost pet ified with aston ishment. “M’Duffie, ** replied Butler, “Hea eos !’’ cried Huger, “why 1 took him for a pin dar man!” Asa pubfic speaker—he never spoke in private M’Duffie was variable in bis style. On some evasions, be would be extremely rapid, dash ing on w ith the rapidity of a racer under whip and spu r . At other times he would utter a word or two in a low tone, and pause; take up a ca die and remove it, as if je l"us of its light He then would utter a sentence, ami replace the candle. Suddenly he would startle you by giving vent to a bold axiom, and strike the table with his fist, inflicting a blow that was hard enough to have demolished it. YVe heard him and. liver his famous speech at Charleston, in vin- j dication of his “forty bale theory”—that he | maintained the proposition that fm tv bales out of every hundred were lost to the prolucer, by the fraudulent operation of the protective sys tem. He spoke four hours, and very deliberate ly, seeming to think over, and mould e erv thought before giving it utterance. He used considerable action, indeed it was rather dan gerous to have a seat in his vicinity, and more than once we saw General Hay lie dodge to avoid a blow from the sweeping arm of the ora tor. In the course of his argument, he would occasionally relate an anecdote that served to amuse and relieve the audience, and which afforded him a good opportunity o take a j fresh start in the great argument he was elabo- j rating. Poor M’Duffie! YY'e see him in our mind’s j eye, as he stood on that occasion, -uttering “thoughts that breathe and words that bu.n’ bold, impassioned, eloquent,—and n w, alas! be sleeps the sleep that knows no vakiag, but his memory w ill long be che ished by his dear native 1 md, and his name embal ti ed in the brightest page of his beloved Caro lina. One of the Sta’es .- “Bob, whe e’s the State of Matrimony ?” “It’s mm of the United States. It is bound ed by hugging and kissi ig o:i one side, and cr.ulles and h diies on til** other.

For the p iucipal ro d-l. adi g to this : ntere>ting State, consult the first pair of blue eyes you run against.” Ironing made easy. —YVhat housewife has ! not felt the iron! >g of clothes in the summer a i great burthen and wished she could manage it without so much fire? Somebody has invented a smoothing iron which obvi ttos this dilficu Itv A handful! of coals makes all the fi e that is necessary —it heats the iron in a few minutes, and nothing is necessary but to replenish oc casionally to keep it hot all dav. Just think of ii ! the very idea of ironing in a cool room, without a fie, is so refreshing that you will go at it in the hot days of summer just to g**t cool. And then the expense of the c<ml for a whole year vs ill hardlv exceed the cost of two good ii\ning fires. YY T e have tried it, and commend it specially to the ladies. YVe don’t know any thing that has been done i itely so important to the advancement of “w oman’s lights,” as the invention of this iron. Hall & Moses have it for sale.— Corner Sion*'. A jockev had disposed of a horse for three or four times its value, to a novice in the busi ness, lepresenting h in to be a “crack” animal, possessing b th speed and b ttnm, two very es sential requisites, as all horse dealers are aware. He so praised the few good points of the animal, and concealed Ids many bad ones that the purchaser believed he was particiiia* ly foitmiate in procuring such an excellent horse, and con gratulated himself on the capital bargain lie had made. He was not long in possession of bis treasure, however, before he discoveied tnat be had been swindled, and that the animal was hardly worth his feed. Annoyed at being du ped in this tnanrer, he appeared before the . know ing jockey w ith his horse, accused him of swindling, and demanded that the niom-y should be returned. “YY’lty. what is the matter with the i horse?” said the dealer, with the most impertur bable coolness. “Matter!” said the enraged dupe; “why the horse is not wenth one-fourth ;of what I paid for him. You toll me he had no faults; but 1 find he lias not a single good quali tv. He is spavined, Ids teeth are broken, and , he is blind of an eye.” “Well, I told you, when vnu bought him,” re plied the dealer, “that he had no faults; and neither has he. He mav be blind of an eye; but that’s not his fault—it’s his misfoitune.” Bayard Taylor thus discourses on the Spanish maidens: “The women of Cadiz are noted for tf.eii beauty'and their graceful gait. Some of them aie very beautiful, it i> tiue, but beauty is m t the rule among Miem. Tin i g it, however, is the most graceful pos.-ible, because it is per feci I \ frteand natural. The commonest erv iag-im.i t who walks the stieets of C adiz w uld put to shame a whole score of our miucii’g and wriggling lu lies.” A man named Fogv was arrested at Boston on Finlay, on the charge of rohbfi g the U.

Furthermore, there !s ----ev* ry reason to believe that the gap between Montgome ry and Brandon, Miss., will be filled up in a very few years und* r the supervision of Mr. Marsha!!. President of th* Southern (Mississippi) Rail Road, who is actively * agaged in forwarding tbo enterprise; and by this means we will have a direct communication with the M ississippi River, and will be in great degree indepen dent of Mobile. Under th se circumstances, would it not be well for the President and Directors of the Girard Road to turn their attention to Pensacola? We believe it is gem rally conceded that a Rail Road will be built from Montgome ry to Pensacola, which will cron* the track of the Girard iRo and about 75 miles from Mobile; aud by uniting i wish that road, we can have opened to us the port of Petisaeol i, and thu* enjoy the benefit* f u connection with the Gulf at much less expense, (ban we can. if we are compelled to push tlie Girard road to Mobile bay unaided by liberal contribution* from Mobile.
