Tlie Snake Grass. A British sportsman tells the following lu dicrous tale of his first experience in gunning io this country. He had hired a black, Apollo, to show him where to find woodcocks. On entering the covert I soon found the use of Apollo’s thick jacket. Never, in all my ex perience, had I seen anything to equal the denseness of this thicket, or the size and sharp ness of the thorns. My gauze like coat was soon in ribbons, my eyes nearly blinded, and tny face in streams of blood. This, added to the almost overpoweting heat made my posi tion anything but agreeable, particularly as we had not as yet seen a single cock in near hall an hour’s beat. Apollo glided about, peering into the trees in a most extraordinary manner, as I thought; and I was upon the point of asking him if we could not find some more open spot, when I found something strike me on the face. Al most blinded by the blow, I put up my hand ; a cry of horror escaped tne ; I found 1 had grasped the cold coils of an enormous black snake, which was hanging from a tree over my head. Apollo looked round, gave a low chuckle, and was proceeding onward, when I called on him for mercy’s sake to stop. •Ya! ya! ya I laughed the old wretch;’iut only poor black snake.’ • Only black snake!’ said I, my flesh creep ing with horror; *1 did not know there were anv snakes in this part of the country.’ No snakes, massa? Why urn chock full of snakes dis swamp ; iin full of copper heads. We nebber come into swamp wid ut de tick boots cause if copper bite um, im dead man, sar. Dare, massa ! look under dat sltutnac bush, just by you poot; dare one tunderiug big chap.’ Nearly deprived of motion by fear, I saw close to my foot the venomous reptile. • Let us leave this dreadful place, Apollo,’ said I. • What before we find de woodcock, sar?’ • Confound the woodcock! snid I, now losing al) patience, and determined, if possible, to put an end to my disagreeable situation. As soon aa we got out of the woods, I dis missed my guide, and with my dogs, undertook w* bs*t vovoo opon fields,in which I m«hi found plenty of qa.il. ' The fields being fresh mown there was no Jay for the birds, but to my satisfaction I saw that the quail mostly flew to a piece of long grass in the meadows which was left unmown. Having accomplished my undertaking, I en tered the grass, which was thick and up to my waist. Qua/after quail arose, and as often fell to my gun, and I became so elated with my success that all thought of pain, fatigue, black snake, or copper head, was gone; and though I did now and then hear a rustling in the glass which ma le me start when I picked up a shot bird, I was much tdo delighted to head such trifles My pockety were getting heavy, and I Was in the centre of the grass when I heard a shout from a hill at some distance, and looking up saw a person who by his gesture appeared to be in the highest state of excitement. Now I had hitherto always found it to be the best practice, when challenged afaroff by enraged farmers or their servants as a trespas ser, to be both blind and deaf until the persecu tors approach during which time one may make off or feign ignorance of any improper inten tions. The sport at this time was too good, and cost too much labor, to be too easily giv en up; and although 1 heatd the farmer hol lowing at the top of his voice, and saw him running us fast as his legs could carry him, I still continued shooting. At last he was near enough to make himself heard. ‘Halloa ! there, you tarnation fool, come out of that long grass.’ *O yes’ thought I, ‘seed ground very likely, but hie on good dogs, we may get u brace of birds before his short legs can reach us.’ ‘Come out of that long grass!’again rang in tny cars. ‘Not till I cant help it, my lad* thinks I, ‘Hie on there ; we have a dozen covics, if we have one in this piece of stuff yet.’ ‘Oh! you cantancarous varment 1 Come out of that long grass! Tub enemy is close upon us. One shot more, and then to close quarters. ‘By the etarnal ! be you mad, or be you deaf?’ cried the man now at the edge of the grass, and in an agony of excitement; ‘due jrou wish to be a dead man 7 Come out of that ■ug grass, I say.’ spoken with great ■, thoughts. out, come out, df that long long grass or by the etarnal you’re a gone sucker. Al mighty smash, don’t you know that’s my snake grass 7 Come out you tarnation fool.’ ‘Snake grass,’said I in a low tone, raising myself on tiptoe, and standing on the very smallest space of ground. -Snake grass, sir ; what’s snake grass 7’ ‘Come out I say, and if you get out without death in your carcass—which by the immortal pumkin, I rather think you never will—l’ll tell you what snake grass is.’ Trembling, I crept out of the grass, and ap proached the farmer who stood wiping the per apiration from his head. •Well,’said he, ‘1 have heard te'l on darned fools that go on bird-hunts, but may I be ab quatilated etarnally if I ever thought a fellow was fool enough to go into a piece of Jarsay snake grass after a poor miserable quail.’ ‘Pray sir what do you mean by snake gras* ?’ ‘Not know what snake grass is ? Well I might have seen by your out’ards that you wasn’t of this location. But don’t you know these here clerings are chockful of varmint snakes 7 When we mows we leaves apiece of long grass for the tarnation reptiles to go into, and when the grass gets dry, you see we sets fire to it, and burns all the venomous varmints, and so makes kifid of a clearance of the snakes every year. Lord a marcy ! wnen I seed you in my long grass—which ought to be chockfull of coppers--I thought you must be ago ne sucker ; and how on arth you es caped is beyond nil, and that’s a fact.’ I felt sick and faint and leaned upon my gun for support. My had been miraculous. Thanking the farmer for his kindness in warning me of danger, and declining his in vitation to partake of refreshment at his abode, I made the best of my way to Colonel Oba diah’s. The Cow and the Pig.—By a law of Mas sachuaelts, one cow and one pig are exempt from attachment, and various attempts have been made by creditors to get that cow and pig when no other property was to be found. The Barre Gazette gives an account of one of these attempts, w hich proves that, if the debt or has his eyes open, the law is ratber a diffi cult one to evade: A creditor in a town, in that vicinity had often cast a longing eye into a pig-pen of one ot his debtors, where was a fino lat “ pig” just ready for the operation of the butcher. He held an execution, which the hog would just about satisfy, but the law forbade him to take the only pig. In this dilemma he went to the debtor, and with pretended commiseration for his poverty, offered him one of a ]iater of Sne pigs, with which his own pen had lately been replenished. The debtor with much gra titude, accepted the generous offer. The little squeaker was turned in with the fat grunter, and the creditor, after admiring the contrast, started in pursuit of an officer to attach one of the two swine which the debtor now had. But the debtor wasttot asleep, and quietly jerking* his thumb after the retreating Grabali, he hast ened to his house, and obtaining the well whetted kntie, pulled over old grunter as quiet ly as he could, and drew out his life-blood. When the joyo s creditor returned with the sheriff, the well-dressed hog was converted in to pork, and as “ provision for tbo family,” was also exempt from attachment! the cie ditor turned away with a tear hi his eye, reck oning the loss of his nice little pig at the end of his previous debt.—[Star in the West.

[From the Washington G.izette.J Anthony's Shoals Factory. We are indebted to an intelligent friend, who is interested in this new enterprise, for the following facts connected with its history, character, and progress : The Broau River Manufacturing Company is the name of an association of gentlemen for the purpose of spinning yarns and weaving sheetings and shirtings, and is now going into operation. Their factory is a handsome brick building, 80 by 50 feet, 4 stories high, inducing attic, and was constructed by Messrs. Demerest & Atkinson. It is capacitated to contain 2500 spindles and 100 looms. The Company have ut present only 1584 spindles and 18 looms, but intend filling the house with additional looms and spindles as soon as advisable. The location of this factory is on Broad River, at Anthony’s iShoals, in Elbert County, five miles above its confluence with the Sa j vaunah at Petersburg. The machinery was made by the Matteaward Company, N. Y., and in point of workmanship and style of fin ish cannot be surpassed, and more than fulfils the most sanguine expectations of the Stock holders. It is propelled by an overshot wheel, and drums anu belts. The wheel is 16 by 14 feet, and was constructed by Hugh Wilson, of Abbeville District, S. C. The head and fall of water being 20 feet. John Hastings, Jun., of Pennsylvania is the sole agent and manager of this factory. Address him at Anthony’s Shoals P. O. El bert County, Georgia. Mr. Hastings is a gentleman of great and varied acquirements, being well versed and of long experience in the various branches of cotton manufactures, under whose manage ment the Company confidently look or satis factory profits. Os the great and abundant water p >wer so peculiarly possessed by Geor gia and South Carolina, but few locations'll ave greater advantages than Anthony’s Shoals, and none where for so small a sum, the water can be used four times. Broad River after thejuuction of its North and South forks, runs for thirty miles through a rich and beautiful basin, not making Shoals at the ftb'ids, where in the early throes of nature it seems to have burst its win through hillsand runs into the Savannah, making at Anthony’s Shoals a fall of 90 feet in the distance of a mile and a half. These Shoals interrupt the navigation of the river, but boats run from the head of the Sboats 30 miles above, and from the foot 60 miles to Augusta. The improvement ot this water power has been commenced with an eye to the final pas sage of boats around the Shoals bv canal and locks. The Dam that raises the water for the present factory is short but well constructed ot stone and timber; the canal is 20 feet wide ai bottom and 35 at top, and 450 yards long, turn ing water enough for 20,000 spiudlcs, and ma king a fall of 20 feet, and constitutes what is called the first level in the plan of the improve ment. The second level is to be made by receiving a dun from the bank of the river 120 feetbing to an island, forming a pond that will receive all the water of the first level, and as much more in the river between the main land and island; from this second pond the canal of the second level will commence and ran on a few hundred yards until a fall of 20 feet is obtained. There another Dam will be constructed in the river to receive the water of the second level and as much more as is desirable to be taken from the river making the third pond, from which a canal wi'l be constructed making the third lev el; which also will be constructed m ike a r all of 20 feet—there also a dam is to be c nstruct ed, from which a canal making the 4th level will start. Thus constructing 4 short canals whose combined length is le-s than 1} miles and overcoming upwards of 80 feet fall by ■4 double locks. The first level containing water enough for 20,000 spindles, while each succeeding one below will have all the water of the one above, and as much more as need be taken from the river, and using ke water 4 times. By this method of improvement which can be entirely finished, (including locks to pass boats from level to level,) for $10,000; the water power at Anthony’s Shoalscan be made loturn as many spindles as are in the State of Massa chusetts. Tins location is on a navigable river 18 I miles from Washington, Georgia, vei capita! Sts there are talking seriously of erecting Steam Mills. [From the Daily Telegraph.] Ma. Editor —l beg a corner of your sheet to express tho-feelings of gratification that 1 have lately felt on visiting a South Carolina Cotton Factory. I allude to Granitevi le, a new establishment just put in operation in Edgefield District. Three years ago, all around there was a wilderness of poor, uncultivated land, with a small but durable stream tumbling over the lowest chain of granite rock in the Slate, in a wild w aste of useless water. Now the stream is substantially dammed, and the water brought down in a canal about a mile, forming a 40 foot head. Here stands the Factory, 350 feet long, and 50 feet wide, 2 stories high, and built of solid blue granite, dressed in blocks, forming one of the baud somest buildings in the South. This is to contain 9,245 spindles, when all in operation, with 300 looms, which will be enough to weave all the yarn. This will con sume 10 bales of Cotton a day, and turn out 10 to 12,000 yards of 30 and 36 shirting and drilling, and require 300 operatives. By the arrangement of the machinery, the Cotton comes in upon a railway from the store house into the pickers room at one end, and goes out cloth at the other, and is taken into another store house, all in the same yard, but detached from each other to make all more se cure against fire. Most of the machinery is now in operation by “ raw hands,” from the piny woods popu lation, under charge of experienced overseers, I and working mostly by the job, or piece price, I and average $3 a week all round, including j men, girlsand boys. The village contains beside the factory and > store bouses, 83 dwellings, a hotel, saw mill, school house, and two of the neatest little Go thic churches ever built. Taken altogether, I venture to assert that a more beautiful manufacturing village cannot be found in the world. The machinery is all of the latest improved kind, and seems more like things of lite, than dumb engines. The whole establishment, operatives inclu ded, is a pattern of cost, in cluding 90U0 acres of land, and another mill site, has been $300,000. It is not only worthy a visit from every gen tleman who feels an it terest in the prosperity of South Carolina, but is especially worthy the notice of every traveller like myself, who is or may be among you, “ spying out the land.” Three miles above Graniteville, is the old “ Vauclttse Factory,” owned and conducted by Gen. Janies Jones, a very genii, manly and enterprising Sputli Carolinian, whom 1 am pleased to learn is meeting with descrv d suc cess in his business. I will give the public some items at my ear liest leisure, that will tend to show ti at the manufacturing spirit that is just now budding into bloom in the South, will soon produce a golden fruit. Seutli Carolina, Georgia and Alabama are all in the field. I wish some of my Northern brethren could have been with me during my lougjourneyings this winter, not only to see the capabilties of the South to do her own manufacturing, but that they might have seen the actual workings of that system of labor that they are so blind ly warring against—a system that brings more comfort and contented happiness to the work ing class who are most affected, than I have ever seen among any other class of laborers, black or white, in any other part of the United States. 1 have no time here to enlarge upon this subject, but I hope to live to be able to give mv testimony upon all proper occasions, truthfully, upon this subject. It is but proper that I should remark before closing, that my extended tour through all the Southern States is purely an Agricultural one. I may be known tosome'wf your readers as a correspondent ot the “American Agricul turist,” published in New York, by A. B. Al len, and it is tn that character that I am now travelling, and in rhe hope of being able to dis seminate some nsetul information, while learn ng many things that may tend to make the North and South better acquainted than they now are. I am, most respectfully, &c. SOLON ROBINSON. Columbia, S. C. April 24, 1849. “It is fraud to conceal fraud.”—The Empe ror Napoleon. Never Despair. When storms arise, And whirlwinds sweep, And darkness shrouds The rolling deep; Then, Tempest-tost, we seek afar The beacon’s steady glare, With rapture hail the welcome star, While hope succeeds despair. Thus, when dark clouds Hang on our life, And long we wage Unequal strife; O, never yield, but onward press : Still boldly do and dare ; It never makes our troubles less, By yielding to despair. What if our first Strong efforts fail ? One trial more May e’en prevail; Remember Bruce and Tamerlane, And still misfortune bear ; And failing once, why try again— But nevermore despair. Hard is the fate Os those who find No sympathy Among mankind ; Time brings po solace for their grief, Life seems no longer fair ; But even those find no relief Whenever they despair. Strive to do right, And never cease, And hope and joy Will find increase; Perchance thy soriows may be healed, Banished afar each care ; Strive with thy fate—but never yield Before the demon of despair. [From the New York Star.] Shopping. Shopping is a business, and all who buy should understand it. Selling, of flore important business than and retail jobbing merchants, are supposed th understand the component parts of an article, its price, duties paid on it, and the relative price it should bring. There is some difference of opinion, however, as to the mode and manner of retailing in fancy .s'ores. An advertisement in an Albany pap, r, contains the following Visitors at the Ladies Ex change, will be served by gentlemanly clerks, und never urged to buy." We have no objec tions to “gentlemanly clerks,” both in ap pearance and in manners, and we care not how much civility and courtesy they nse in the way of their profession, but we do protest against the avowal, that visitors are “never urged to purchase.” The very object tn keeping a store, would be destroyed in carrying oat this doctrine. Those goods which a shop-keeper will not recommend, are supposed by the visi tor, not to be worth purchasing, so that his de, licate scruples are placed to the wrong ac count. Besides, many ladies who go shopping, are not supposed to be familiarly acquainted with the value and quality of every article they desire; much is left to the taste and fairchat acter of the store-keeper, and if he is mum in relation to hts ow’n goods, and withholds his own judgment, where is he to get custom from 7 Let us test this practically. A lady asks to see silk for a dress: she is shown se veral patterns, asks the price; she is some what puzzled how to choose; the clerk is mum; she has not read the last Paris fashions, and knows not what are the fashionable colors; the clerk is mum, will the colors last—is itnot too thin—is it sufficiently firm 7 or in calicaes, will it wash, —will the colors run 7—how 4iali a decision, a judgment be made up 7 Sh» is alone, with no one to consult, no one to advise, and the clerk is miim. Such a course wrtuld bankrupt any store keeper, fashionable oi un fashionable. Let us look at the other side of the question, and see the force of a fair Ind just recommendation. “ Allow me to re commend this siik to you, madam—we have it by the last arrival—it is highly fashionable in Paris, and we have but little left of it. 'The texture, too—feel it—how soft, yet how flan. —it will make up beautiful, madam, —and at ten shillings a yard.it is considered remarka bly cheap.” “ I rely upon your ju Igment, sit.” “I thank yon madam—you will find no decep tion in the article, and I am quite sure that yi>u wi l m»t regret purchasing.” Is th-re anytfMg in this which ought to be avo d <1 7 We shovld think not. B sides, our store-keepers opt otily should recommend their goods, but urge cts tomers who want them to purchase; they do nothing more in this than relying upon the n tegiity of their character, the strength of their judgment, and the result of their experience, in giving to their customers the benefit of that judgment and experience in making indispen sable purchases. Our store-keepers generally understand this; a reasonable urgency, a fair recommendation, a candid opinion, a livitg price, and an accommodating disposition, ire indispensable in store-kee ing.
