jj* We copy the following from the Con
stitutionalist of Tuesday. The suggestion of
an increase of watchmen is worthy of seriou»
consideration.
Double tub Watch—House Robberies
—Various depredations have been, and con
tinue to bo, nightly committed, of late, upon
e«r citizens, by thieves entering their dwell
ings white the inmates are asleep.
We hear every day, of fresh burglaries or
attempts at burglary, of dwellings and stores
Though our citizens are generally apon their
guard, and use ell the precaution in their
power, this seems to be no check to the evil
The audacity and perseverance of the robbers
appear to increase. They have grown bold
by impunity. In several instances they have
found entranoe by teariag apen the shatters
and hoisting the sashes of windows, and have
gone into bed rooms and searched the pockets,
and even felt under the heads of ths occupants.

coolly to light a candle by a match, after ofe
Mining entrance into a gentleman's house.
—■Bitt the proceeding nrensed one of the family
and the fellow escaped after a short pursuit
Another entered the house of a gentleman,
a commission merchant, who, the night be
fore, bad carried homo in hia pocket book,
the sum of five thousand dollars— went into
hia bed room and searehed hia pockets and
under hia pillow for the pocket book. He did
not find the pocket book, and did nut attempt
to take any thiag also, though watches sad
other valuables were in the room. The r»b

this gentleman had carried thia large amount
home, and hoped to find it er some pert of it
there the second night. He, too, eseaped
without detection.
Several ether robberies and attempts have
been related to us as having taken place in
the city and en the Sand Hille.
In some cases brought to ear kaowledge,
the keys of doors have been pushed from the
locks, no doubt for the purpose of effecting an
““entrance by rfceHn* offafcs keys, but the noisff I
disturbed the inmates and ths thieves made off. i
The police are on the traek of one or two
men strongly suspected of being ennearned <
in those crimes, and it is hoped that they I
may be arrested and brought to punishment, i
The police have a cine which may lead to do- I
tection. (
But there is .tot a sufficient force of con
stables and watchmen employed to guard the
city. The extremes of the city and back
streets are necessarily neglected. There are
but the City Marshal, two Constables, and
fourteen Watchmen, in all. These alternate
with each other—one half being out at a time.
Thus the whole city is guarded by eight or
nine men—a force wholly inadequate under
present circumstances. Would it not be ad
visable to double the watch at this juncture,
and urge the watchman te redoubled vigilance?
We would also recommend to our citizens
to be prepared with fire arms in their dwell
ings, to give the villains a warm reception.
If one or two could be shot in the act, it woald
have a very wholesome effect.
Contemplated Southern Con
vention.
Alluding to the recommendation es the
Mississippi State Convention, that a Conven
tion of the Slaveholding States should be held
in Nashville, on the first Monday in June next,
“ to devise and adopt seme mode of resistance ”
to the aggressions of the north, the Nashville
Whig says : “ We hope before the time ar
rives for the sitting of the Convention, that the
principal reasons which induced it to be called
will no lunger exist; but nevertheless, in view
of other questions relative to southern isler
ests—the movements now making towards
emancipation in the border States, Ac.—
we hope the Convention may be Billy repre
sented ; and on behslf of our citizens we can
safely promise the delegates a cordial wel
come to our midst.”
Exercise and Health.—Downing’s Horti
culturist expatiates on the advantage to eur
women of often seeking the air and using abun
dant exercise, as the tree ineana of preeetv-
Hm-miHWimw nwpariwgWWMWty S mortrreqw
tivating freshness. An excellent article here
on finishes thus:
“A word or two mere, and epee what
ought to be the most important argument te
all. Exercise, fresh air, health, are they not
almost synoeymous? The exqaieite bloom on
the cheeks of American girls tads in the mat
ron much sooner here than in England—not
only because es the softness es the English
climate, as many suppaae. It is beeaasa exor
cise, so necessary to the maintenance of healtli
is so little a matter of habit and education here,
and so largely insisted apon in England; and
it is because exercise, when taken here at all,
is too often as a matter of daty, and has no
soul in it; while the English woman, who
takes a lively interest in her rural employ
ments, inhales new life in every day’s occupa
tion, and plants perpetaal roses in her cheeks
by the more act of planting them in her gar
den.”
Jalnl Wesley the founder of Methodism,
when one day riding through the country, was
saluted by a fellow who was lying in a ditch :
“Hallo, Father Wesley, I’m glad to see you.
How do you do?”
“1 don’t kuow you,” said Mr. W., reining
up his horse. “Who are you?”
“Don’t know mot Why, sir, you are the
very man who converted me!”
“I rekon I am," said Mr. Wesley, putting
spurs to his horse; “at least, one thing is evi
dent—the Lord had nothing to do about it.”
Akecdots.—An anacdole, affording a good
hint to young ministers, io fold of Dr. Dwight,
to this effect: A yon ng clergyman called
upon him for advice as to the best method of
treating a very difficult and abatraaa point
of mental philosophy, upon which be was
preparing a sermon. “ 1 cannot give yea any
information on the subject,” the doctor replied,
“I am not familiar with such topies. I leave
them for young men.”
Tonsum.—lEaop was the servant of a phi
losopher named Xanthas. Ous day his mas
ter being desirous of entertaining some of his
friends at dinner, he ordered him u» provide
the best things he coaid find in the market,
jtlsop thereupon mads a large provision of
tongues, which he desired the cook to serve up
with different sauasa. When dinner came,
the first and second courses, the side dishes,
and the removes were all tongues.
“Did 1 not order you,” said Xanthos, in a
violent passion, “to buy the best victuals the
market afforded?”
“And have 1 not obey year orders?” said
.Esop; ‘ls there anything better than tongues?’
Is not the toague the bond of eivil society, ths
key of science, and the organ es truth and rea
son? By means of the tongue, cities are built
and governments established and administer
ed; with it men instrust, persuade, and preside
in assemblies; it is the instrument with which
we acquit ourselves of the chief of all oth
er duties, the praising and adoring of the
gods.”
“Well, then,” replied Xanthus, “ge to mar
ket to-morrow, and buy me the worst things
you can find. The same company will dine
with me, and I have a mind to change my en
tertainment.”
When Xanthus assembled his friend the
neat day, he was astonished to find that .Esop
had provided nothing bnt the very same dish
es.
“Did loot tell you,” said Xanthus,“fo pur
chase the worst things for this day’s feast?—
How comes it, then, that you have placed be- i
fore us the same food, which only yesterday!
you declared to be the very best?" I
.Esop, not at all abashed, replied : “Th
tongue is the worst thing ia the world, as well
as the best, for it is the instrument of all strife
and contention, the fermenter of lawsuits, the
. curee of division and war, the organ of errer,
of calumny, of falsehood, and even of profan
ity” '
Cannibal tstu.—" Do you see that fellow
lounging there, doing nothing ? said Owen
to Jenks the other day. “ W hy, he’s a can
nibal ; he lives o« other people.”

VOLUME 11.
Ths Navigation luws.—The promptitirds
with which the Administration has responded
m the setion of Great Britain on the navigation
laws is worthy of and will receive all praise
from ths people of this country. The course
which baa been adopted was it is tree, indicated
by existing laws, but it was not imperative on
the Government to act as it hs»acted; and in
fact it has been asserted in influential quartern
that the responsibility of decisive meanres
wenld be devolved upon Congress. We are
glad to see that such has not been th% ease.
The universal sentiment of the country, as
far aa we have seen it expressed, or as we
havs had opportunities of ascertaining {*
in favor of meeting the advances es Greet
Britain, and in faet, of avery nation, in a con
ciliatory and accommodating spirit. That sen
timent will doubtless pervade the minds of our
representatives in Congress snd we presume
that st its next session that body, an far from
evineing any opposition io the Administration
an this subject will ratify its act by a solemn
approval.
We look un the reeent change in the Brit
ish navigation laws as an event fraught with
consequences. By removing the reutric
tiem on commercial intercourse which were
imposed by them, it will tend to increase the
traffic between the two nations, and by stimu
lating industry will augment the aggregate
wealth of both. It presents, also, an example
to other nations, which in view of its benefi
cial results, they will not he slow to follow,
and thna will open the way for the removal
of many obstacles to the free interchange of
the products of industry which new exist. It
will develops the resources of ths countries
which it affects, and will soften the prejudices
of nationality which too often interrupt the
friendly relations of commercial communities;
and by rendering different nations mere de
pendent on the prosperity of each other for
ths maintenance of their own, will more ef
fectually prevent the occurrence of war than
all the labors of the Peace Gon grass which
recently met in Paris.
As far as our own intsrests are involved we
certainly have nothing to fear. Our commer
cial marine is now second only to that of Eng
land, and at its present rapid rata of increase
will soon exceed it. This position we have
gained despite many adverae circumstances,
by the enterprise, the energy, and the ingenu
ity of our people. Those qualities will now
be brought into requisition to a greater ament
than heretofore, and will- enable sa to com
pete with any nation in the world. American
enterprise has already become proverbial.—
Whenever a field is opened lor its exercise,
our countrymen are sure to be in advance of
all competitors in occupying it. The banks of
Newfoundland, in the Chinese seas, the Artic
ocean and the smiling Pacific are covered by
eur vessels. In fact, wherever we have con
tended with theta on equal terms we have
uniformly achieved the victory. To prove this
it is necessary only to adduce one instance.—
.JTho whaie fishery is aubjeet to lew reetric
lious, for the bophdlesa oeean in which they ■
are taken ia free to all. Fifty yaara age the
English and Dutch almost monopolized the
profits of that great branch of industry, while
at the present moment nine-tenths of it are in
the hands of the Americans. Whalers sail
ing under tho flag of any other nation are now
ia the very small minority. This is proof suf
ficient that we have nothing to fear from the
course we have adopted in regard to the navi
gation laws. On the contrary, though the be
nefit will be common to both countries, much
ths larger share of it, from peculiar advanta
ges we enjoy ip building, manning and victnal
ling our ships, muat fall to opr lot. Ws
possess in great abundance the material for
constructing vessels; we have Bremen inferior
to none in the world; and it is well known
that American ships are generally sailed with
fewer hands than are employed in these of any
other nation. These circumstances are all
favorable to us, and should convince us that
we have hazarded nothing by reciprocating the
pction of Great Britain. —N. O. Picayune.
The Navioatiom Laws.—A correspondent
of the Baltimore American explains how far
our carrying trade is to be effected by the Bri
tish Navigation Act, wie.h goes into operation
on the Ist of Jan. next, and the act of Congress
passed in 1817. Under the joint operation of
the two nets, British vessels may, after the Ist
of January next, share not only in our direct
but in our indirect foreign trade; and on the
other hand, American vessels may participate
not only in the direct but the indirect foreign
trade of Great Britain. Our vessels may also
carry cargoes from any part of the world to
any port in the British Colopy, and there un
lade and take in a fresh cargo, and proceed with
it thence to any port in any other colony, or
to any other country; thus enjoying the full
benefit of the inter-colonial trade. Bnt there
is aoinnloal participation or reciprocity in the
coasting trade of this country and the United
Kingdom—that is to say, our vessels sannot
engage in carrying from port to port in Great
Britain or Ireland, nor can British vessels en
gage in carrying from port to port in the Uni
tea Btttes. With the consent of the Queen
in Council, howeyer, any British Colony may
•pen its coasting trade to American vessels.
A convention assembled in New York, *n
Mondsy Sid composed principally of dealers
in boots and shoes, who eome together once a
year, to consult upon the mutual internets of
trade. Some important facts were stated by
the chairman worth repeating. One honse
in Connecticut makes $350,000 worth of peg
ged shoes every year; anotherssoo,ooo worth;
end in Massachusetts, the aggregate value of
this kind of manufacture was stated to be
$18,000,000. Still the demand was greater
than the supply, thus offering a tempting field
for enterprise and capital ia this line of busi
ness.
Gektlemam.—The word “Gentleman” is
evidently no mark of wealth or station. “Yon
are no gentleman,” said a waiter in a tavern
to a person who give him three pence. Three
mere would have constituted the gentleman in
the eyes of the waiter, and the three pence may
have been withheld through poverty.
“What sort of a person,” said an individual
to his landlady, “is he that occupies your baek
parlor?”
“He is a tailor by trade," said she “bnt very
much the gentleman.” This meant that he
paid his five shillings a week regularly.
Thus it seems that ths word is not confined
by any regard to the station er trade of the in
i dividual. There is no doubt that we all have
I a vagne conception of something when we
i u .ear of a man being a gentleman. If a neat'
eat too heartily, he is not a gentleman; and if
another, have nothing to eat, he also is net a
gentleman. ,
Has the World a Tail.—“Fa, has the
world got a tail ?” asked an nrehin of his
I father. “ No, child," replied the old *un, im
patiently, “ how could it have one when it is
round? “Well,” persisted the heir, “why
do the papers say, ‘ so wags the world,’ if it
ain't got no tail te wag ?’’ “ Your ma wants
you," replied the non-plussed daddy.

Tharsity Morning Her. 1, I 84».
UCr We invite the attention of our readers to
the advertising eslumns of thia morning’s
P»P*r-
tT We publish, in another portion of thia
morning's paper, an article from the Constita
tionalist, relative to ths burglaries which have
recently boss perpetrated in thia eity. Upon
inqairypf-ihW o«h*e 4fr vhe Chief offour Police,
as well as of the Mayor, we are assured that
the extent es ths outrages has been greatly
exaggerated—that only two er three trifling
robberies bavs been committed, although
several daring attempts have been made—but
there dees not exiat, at this time, any sufficient
cause for the alarm which has been created.
It is very well known to the police who the in
dividual was who entered the houses ou
Greene street, seme two weeks ago. Several
vigilaat parsons have been added to the night
police, and every measure adopted which was
regarded necessary to secure the eity from
similar outrages. In addition to this, the citi
zens generally have prepared themselves for
bnrglera and thieves, and we are satisfied that
none of the “ knowing ones ” will dare to trust
their lives about the premises of our citizens
at unseasonable hours of the night.
The real cause of alarm, at preaent, is, that
the Coroner will have a job following the first
burglary attempted, and the time es our people
be taxed to render a verdict at the inquest.
In view of this event, it has been suggested,
that owners and guardian of colored persons
should exercise groat prudence in allowing
them, after eight o'clock at night, to leave
their pieces of abode. ‘

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1849.
“Union of the Month for the sake
of the South.'’
In our article of Tuesday, with the above cap
tion, this sentence is found : “How is the
democracy perverting the relation of master
and slave ? ” Our attention having been call
ed to'it, as an expression likely Jo be misun
derstood, we would remark, that it was not
made by as in vindication of the policy of the
democrats upon the southern question. Our
sbjec.' was to know what part of their policy
was condemned. We cannot justify Mr,
Polk’s sanction of the Oregon Bill with the
Wilmot Proviso incorporated In it. It ia but
jast ts state, however, that he declared in an
explanatory message, that if the proviso had
reference te any territory south of the Mis
souri compromise line he would veto it.
If the charge io, that the democrats are per
verting the relation of master aad slave to the
injury of the South, by passing resolutions
and helding meetings in favor of southern
equality, we should like to see a continuance
es that kind of perversion nf it, so long as the
North perverts it by attacking and seeking te
destroy that equality conferred by the national
constitution.
Who are ths southern democrats ? They
are our fellow citizens, and neighbors, wheth
er born at the North or at the South. We
go with thsm aa heartily as we do with the
whigs for jnstiee to the Sonth—We take by
the band a northern man who is true to our
rights, as cordially as we do the friend and
neighbor who was born npon southern soil.
While we confess the possession of sectional
devotion, we feel no antipathy to the north or
her people, further than it may be produced by
their unjust denial to us of the rights which
belong tn us as citizens of a greet confed
erated union, and es sovereign States, a part
of whose powers have been delegated to pro
mote justice not injustice, the good of all, not
the injury of themselves.
On this question we have had no political
or party secret. No monument of gold could
have tempted us to have followed the lead of
party to the wrong and injury of the South :
Nor ahall we ever be found following it, te
wrong onr brethren of the North. It ia the
very sun-light of our common origin, fame
and hopes, which adds additional regrets to
the necessity which has compelled us not to
crave their mercy, but to defy their power.
We would implore them, the south has im
plorpd them by all the recollections ofoa glori
oss peat, takTegsrd oirr pride, oar hbrrorjind
our equality, in the great brotherhood which
encircles ua all.
Look at the picture which history must draw
of our country under this agitating question.
It will present the colossal north in the atti
tude of an assailant, with uplifted arm, ready
to strike anti degrade the south. What have
we urged upon opr section ? That it would
be disgraceful to us to be seen in the attitude
of humble submissionists. To avert this we
have called, not upon the whigs, net upon the
democrats, not upon southern born citizens
alone, but upon all the people of the sonth,
whether born here, or in the northern States,
or in foreign lands, to stand by their rights.
With all onr devotion tq party, we haye
looked above it to the cloudless, cerulean skies
of a common love, and a common hope, and a
common right.
We greatly admired the following senti
ments, uttered by Mr. Stephens on th* floor
of Congress. Alluding to oar rights, he said:
“ All I demand is common right an 1 common
justice; these I will have, in clear and express
terms, or I will have nothing. I speak to the
north, irrespective qf parties. I recoobize
KO PARTY ASSOCIATION OB AFFILIATIOB UPON
THIS SUBJECT.”
We have reduced to practice this doetrine
of Mr. Stephens. We have taught it through
the columns of onr paper, and would charm ;
the people of tl;e south into its embrace, it we
could. We have consulted, In doing so, the
peace and honor of the south, the prosperity es
the twrif;, ’he safety of the Union, and the
combined security of all. No one would re
joice more than we would to tee the rainbow
spanning the dark-bosomed cloud that lowers
over us, to be followed by a brighter, (store
peaceful and happier tinje then ever blessed
ns in the Halcyon days of the Republic.
May wisdom, armed with the power of truth,
justice with its well balanced scales, and ina
deration with its calm and equitable firmness,
yet so control end influence the hearts of all
our people, in every section es the Union, that
every cloud may be dispelled from its now
troubled bosom.
Tie SrtvßT of tbb Nashville axd Chat- .
taxoooa Rail-Road Completed. —The Chat
taßooga Gasetfo says : “The Engineers this
week, completed the final location of the Nash
ville and Chattanooga Rail-Road, from the !
Cumberland mountain to Chattanooga. We '
understand from them that it is not determined
whether the Road will cross the river in this
State or Alabama. If the Company succeed
in getting a faverable ioeetion from the State
of Alabama, for that portion of the Road which
would run through that State, they will cross
the river belew the Island in Alabama—if not
it will cross above the Island, and be located
entirely in this State. The Directors are call
ed on to meet on the 7th proximo, to transact
some important business. They will have
another meeting in December, when it will
probably be determined whether er no the
Road will be put under contract from the point
where it crosses the river to Chattanooga forth
with.”
How to Make aGoob Cut or Tea.—Mr.
Soyer recommends that, before pouring in any
water, the teapot, with the tea in it, snail be
placed in the eves till hot,or heated by means
of a spirit lamp, er in front es the fire, (not too
close,ef eeurse,) and the pot then filled with
boiling water. The result, he says, will be,
in about a minute, a most delicious, cup of tea
. much superior to that drawn in tbe orditMry
way.
Scßivzx Superior Court.—Tributb of
Rbsfbct to Hob. E. J. Black—At a meet
ing of the bar in the Coart Hoase in Sylva
nia, on Wednesday, the 94th ult.—on motion
of Ebenezer Starnes, Esq., of Riehmend,
Maj. Winborn J. Lawton, of Scriven, was
called to the Chair, and William J. Maner,
Esq , appointed Secretary.
Mr. Starnes then, after a few very appropri
ate remarks explanatory of tbe object es the
meeting, introduced the following preamble
pral reaolutisna, which being eeeonded by J.
Lewten Singleton,’’of Seriven, were on mo
tion of Melford Marsh, of Chatham, •Mni
mossly adopted :
Whereas, Since ths lest tens es tbisCeart,
one of the members es this Bar, and eitiaen es
thia eoanty, has departed this life; and this
being the first appropriate epportenity fer his
professional brethren pnbliely to express their
deep sorrow for his loos, end to manifest their
respect for hia memory, it ia therefore
Resolved, That the members es thio bar have
received the intelligence of the death of their
brother Edward J. Black, with tree and heart
felt sorrow ; that we mourn for hia loss, both
as a friend and companiea, and as a distin

which we practice.
Resolved, That onr grief for his lose is
rendered poignant by many rocollactiona of hia
attractive manners, his kindly affections, his
teeming wit, and his accomplishments as an

The Moemois.—This strangely infat sated
religioue oect appear te be rapidly increasing
in numbers, and, from the persecutions they
have undergone, are the more closely bound
together, and will doubtless mors rigidly ad
here to their original faith. In an article, in
the Baltimore Americen, it is stated, that “they
have taken pooeesaisn of the Great Basin in
the region of the Salt andUmh Lakes—[Col.
Fremont’s Memoir states that the Mormon
settlement is in the valley and on the rivers es
the Utah lake] —a epaeious area five hundred
miles in diameter, four er five theusend feet
above ths ie *1 es the sea, shtt ia by moun
tains on ovr side, aad having its own sys
tem of hkese ,d rivers, without any eemmn
nication with trie ocean. Pertiona of the greet
basin are desert end uninhabitable. The fer
tile portion, however, is very productive; and
this tine valley, about three hundred mile* in
extent, between the Great Salt and Utah lakes,
is occupied by the Mormons.
“ They have organized a Territorial Go
vernmsnt, elected officers, established Kxees
tive, Judicial and Legislative ftinetionq, and
chosen their Delegate to Congress. Jt ie
further designed tn'forq; a State Constitution
shortly and to present die pew Commonwealth
of Dbsebbt aa an applicant for admiaaion into
oar family of States. The amount of popula
tion in not given In any statement we have
seen. Their eity covers a large spaeo. It ia
situated at the base of the mountains, says the
account of a traveller, ia the entrance to their
' rich and fertile valley, The city 1*
i covering two or three miles square, though of
1 course not closely built, being ainaeu tut*
I three acre lota. The whole valley elopes
I gradually to ths lake, and ths soil is (.onacs
1 quently irrigated without difficulty. Their
erops, adds the traveller, looked well, and eve
ry thing appeared to be in a flourishing rendi
tion”
The Mormons (says the American) are a
practice! people ; they are industrious, tem
perate, orderly. Wherever they plant thorn
selves in the wildornoos, tbo aspect of a culti
vated region ie soon visible. They recognize
a community principle to some extent —but
with what modifications we know not. They
seem, however, te derive from it the benefits
of concentrated labor and to flourish under it,
Ladt Feabelie.—lf over a man was made
illustrious by the devotion of a wife, (says the |
Baltimore American,) Sir John Franklin, may*!
claim that distinction. We have seen, as doubt
less our readers have seen also, several letters
from Lady Franklin, called forth by the peril
ous and almost deaperale condition in which
her husband was supposed to be, in hie adven
turous expedition towards the North Pole—and
all those letters have indicated so strong a feel
ing of conjugal affection, with so mueh of fem
inine propriety, that however strongly oar
i interests may have been enlisted for the bold
and daring man, we are free te confess that
i our sympathiea have rather cleaved to the true
| hearted woman. She has become the'person
age. If the brave navigator should fail, he
. fails in a noble undertaking; his memory will
be honored; he will be elsssed with those who
for the general good, and for national glory,
I have put their livea in peril—exalted mea who
■ rank above the standard of their race.
But it ia gratifying to know that favorable in
telligence has been received, giving reason te
hope that Sir John Franklin and h a compan
ions, whatever may be the anccess es the explo
rations, are in safety. We cannot bat join in
congratulations at thia. The civilized world
will rejoice to knew it. Yet while we join heart
ily in these felicitations and give indulgence te
earnest hopes that the beat expectations assy
prove true, it may yet be allowable te say that
much of onr solicitude for the husband is deri
ved from the excellence of the wife. The
world might spare Sir John Franklin, as it
: might spare any man; but it cannot afford to
i spare the women who kuow how te make
! kur«et e? aea.

all the world may be invited in time to be hers

reference te the important day :
“As our Rail Rood ie to be completed in a

Ikflammablb Gas—A Curiosity. —The
Cleveland Herald, of October IQtb, rays :
‘Theroere nußqeroes ieaaes of inflammable gas
en the form of Mr. Michael Faulkner, in
Brecksville, in thia county. About an sere es
the bottom lands en the Chippewa gives forth
the gas, the soil being porom, and filled with
eraeke, from which the gaa escapes. Place a
common tin horn ever one of these cracks, ap
ply a match te the top, and a brilliant flame of
a yellowish appearance breaks forth, which will
barn steadily for weeks. The proprietor made
an excavation seme twelve feet deep at one of
the gas openings, and flung in burning hay.
Quito an explosion fa lowed, the hay scattered
in the air, and a blaze issued several feet high.
It continued to burn until the ground caved in
and smothered the flames.
“Tbe ground frein which the gas escapes
never freezes, and nothing will grow upon it,
although the soil is rich. The location is
fourteen miles from Cleveland, and has attrac
ted many visitors to see the earth burn. The
existence of the gas has beet: known there for
a doyen yeqrsQr iqore, and the quantity escap
ing which is Jarge seems to be increasing rather
than other-wise. Cannot Nature's gasometer
be appropriated by man to some useful pur
poses?"
How to Subdub a Vicious Horsb.—The
following fact occurred yesterday : A beautiful
and high-spirited horse would never allow a
shoe to be put on his feet, without a resort
to every species of power and means to control
him- At one tittle he was nearly crippled by
being put in the stocks; he wks afterward
thrown down and fettered ; at another time
one of our most experienced horvp ehoers was
qnab'e to manage him by the aid of as many
hands as could approach, in an attempt to
shoe this horse ye-terday, he resisted all ef
fort*, kicked aside everything but an anvil,
and came near killing himself against that,
•nd finally was brought back to his stable un
shod. This was his only defect ; in all other
respects ha was perfectly docile, especially is
harness. But this defect was just on the eve
of consigning him to the plough, where be
might work barefoot, when, by mere accident,
an offieer in our service, lately returned from
Mexico, was passing, and being make ac
quainted with the difficulty, applied a complete
remedy by the following simple process :
He took • eerd about the size es • eommen
bed cord, put it in the mouth of the horse like
a bit, and tiel it tightly on the top of the ani
mal's head, passing bis left ear under the string,
not painfully tight, but tight enough ta keep
the ear down, and the cord in its ptaee. This
done, he patted the horse gently on the side es (
his heed and commanded him to follow, which
he did aa obedient as a well-trained dog;
suffering his feet to be lifted with entire im
punity, and acting in all respects like an old
stager. That simple string thus tied, made
him at once as doeile and obedient as any one
. could desire. The gentleman wha thus fur
nished this exceedingly simple means of sub
duing a very dangerous propensity, intimated
that it is practiced in Mexico and Booth Amer
ica in the management es wild horses. Be
this as it may, he deserves the thanks of all
•wears es such horses, and especially the
. thanks es those »hm» business it may be te
shoe ar groom the animals.—N. Y. Com. Adv.,

contained in these papers is that which an
nounces the death of Jacinto Pat, the leader of
the Indian insurgents at the peninsula. Ho
was aseaMisated by the Indians. The death
of this celebrated chieftain wag the cause of
much rejoicing amorg the Indians. The
death of Pat and the diacord among the In

A Norat Cam.—ln Fairfield district, (S.C.)
recently, a men named Sidwell, and an accom
plice of the name of Lawhon, were tried and
convicted of abdneting and marryiug a young
girl of 18 years of age. The defendant (Tid
well) is a shoemaker, and had been employed
as such in the family of the prosecutor, and it
was supposed for offence given by Mr. Crank
field, the prosecutor and father of the yonng
girl , to one or both of the defendants, was the
motive es the abduction.
The married miss is to remain in charge of
her father, until the age ol 16, as it appears
there is a statute of force in thia State against
yoang girls’ taking upon themselves the duties
attendant on the marriage state, until they ar
rive at that age.—Charleston Courier, 30th ult.
Two ts A Bed.—Ned and Charley were
two room mates but they occupied different
bed*. Ned’s sleeping apparatus was so situated
that he could get in either side—that is to say
that there were two fore sides to his bed and
no back side, which Ned found very conveni
ent.
One night Ned and Charley had been ont,
and on returning, which they did near morning,
both wore considerably elevated. However,
they walked up to their rooms with an air that
seemed to say, “not so very darned drunk af
ter all,” and eought long and patiently for
matches and a lamp. After knocking over
the pitcher and the washstand and smashing
the looking glass, they finally gave up the
search and went to bed.
Went to bed—yea, that’s the word, but ow
ing to the darkness and confusion of their
sense, they made a slight mistake. In short,
Ned’s bed had the honor of receiling the two
friends—Charley getting in on one side, and
bls companion rolling in on the other.
“I say, Ned,” cried Charley, touching some
body’s calf, “there’s a fellow' in my bed I”
“Wonderful coincidence I” exclaimed Ned,
feeling a strange elbow in the region of hie
ribs, “there’s somebody in my bed too.”
“Is there, theugh ?” cried Charley, “let’s
kick ’em out ?” “Agreed” said Ned.
And accordingly the two friends began to kick.
It lasted about a minute and a half, and Ned
was spraivling on the floor; Charley was'left

I Editors akd Railroads.--J he community
; were somewhat startled n few weeks since
. by an announcement made that editors were
not allowed to pn*s over a curtain Railroad
free—and still more so, whan uome heroic
gentleman started up nt the meeting and wiih
courage exclaimed—“ Glad of it.” For our
part we see no particular cause for rejoicing,
and tits gentleman who thus spoke out mu it
look deeper into the subject titan we havens
yet. Eiizur Wright at the time wrote a
abort article upon the systatn of free passes,
and concluded by promising not only to ride
over the rails and pay his fare, but to become
a stockholder, if the companies would pay a
fair price for the hundreds of articles which
directly tend to improve Railroad stock and
which editors iu<ert gratuitously. Let us
look for a moment into this subject, and see
bow much newpaper* have to do with the
. formation of Railroads. A few men meet and
talk over a route for a Railroad. The re-
> aonrees of the country are looked at, the
amount of travel is reckoned, and then the
public pulse is touched through lite medium
of the newspaper. The editor is called upon
and becomes interested in the plan, and his
pen is employed to portray the advantages
which muat accrue. Other editor* copy the
article*, the community is awakened, and then
comes a call for a public meeting, and the
newspaper then, lends gratuitously, its services
to induce the people to be present. The work
goes on I the newspaper records its progress,
file annual meeting ia hoi den—a reporter is
dispatched, and the absent stockholders, ere
twenty-four hours have elapsed, are posted up ;
and finally conies, the opening, when two col
umn* in tfie newspaper announce to the world
that there is such a road in existence, refers
to its prospects, alludes to the beauties of Na
ture wbish can be seen during a ride over the
road and establishes in the minds of the people
a confidence in the stock. What pecuniary
reward is received for this? An advertise
ment at a low priceie obtained, and the money
received for thia is paid out in recording the
success of the road. This ia what the news
paper does for Railroads. What should be
the reward of those who spend time and money
hi improving th* stock of qpilroads? What
doe* a free pass amount to ? It costs the
railroads no more to convey one hundred and
on* passengers than it doe* one hundred.
Editors are not generally migratory in their
habits—but when an opportunity offers they
sometimes avail themselves of it An invita
tion is sent, perhaps, to an editor, to pass over
a road at his own convenience. A leisure day
presents itself, and away he flies over the road
noting everything he aeea, and giving a sketch
of his trip in his paper, which is read by thou
sands. Perhaps a few only may be induced
to follow his example. They go and see, and
these few speak of it to others, and so the
ball ie set it motion! What does the corpo
ration lose?
There in a policy in free passes—there is
economy in well-directed liberality, and some
roads have studied the system and have been
gainers, while others have pursued a narrow,
contracted course, and the result is seen.
Look at the flourishing villages which have
sprung up on some of the roads, contrasted
strongly with the deserted hamlets on other
routs, where high fares have not only driven
people away, but kept other* from settling, and
where the meanness of the president and di
rectors lias become proverbial along the route.
For oar part, we care little or nothing about
tree passes ; we are tied to the oar and cannot
avail ouraufves of complimentry and unsolicit
ed invitations to ride on a rail road, which have
been kindly oxtended to u . : but we do like to
see the press treated with s.me little respect,
and if any ciass in the community deserves to
travel without expenses, in consideration of
services rendered, it ia that class which belongs
to the Press.-—Boston Gazette.
The Mother’s Lessor.—A mother, sitting
in her parlor, overheard her child, whom her
sister was dressing, any repeatedly, ‘No, 1
don’t want to say my prayers.’
‘ Mother,’said the ehlld, appearing at the
parlor door.
‘ Good morning, my child !’
‘ I am going to get my breakfast.’
‘ Stop a minute, I want you to coma and see
me first.’
The mother had laid down her work upon
the next chair, and the bey run to her. She
took him up. He kneeled in her lap and laid
his lace duuu- I — l -i—
- ear. 'l'toe mother rocked hor
chair slowly backward and forward.
‘Are you pretty well this morning?’ said
she, in a kind and gentle tone.
‘ Yea, mother, I am very well.’
‘ 1 am well, too, and when 1 waked up this
morning, and found that I was well, I thanked
God for taking care of me.’
‘ Did you ?’ said the boy, in a low tone—
half a whisper. He paused after it—con
science was at its work.
‘Did you ever feel my pulse?’ asked hie
mother, after a minute ol silence, at the same
time taking the boy down and sitting him on
her lap, and placing his fingers on her wrist.
‘No, but I have felt mine.’
‘ Well, don’t you feel mine now—how it
goes beating ?’
‘ Yes,’ said the child.
‘ If it should stop beating, I should die/
‘Should you?’
‘ Yea,’ I can’t keep it beating.*
‘Who can?’
‘ G >d.’ (A silence.) 1 You have a pulse,
too, which beats here in your bosom, in your
arm, and all over you, aud 1 cannot keep it
beating, nor can you—nobody but God. If
He should not take care of you, who could ?’
‘ I don’t know,’ said the child with a look of
anxiety, and another pause ensued.
‘ So, when I walked out this morning, I
thought I’d ask God to take care of me and all
of us.’
‘ Did you ask Him to take care of me ?'
‘No.’
‘ Why not?’
‘Because I thought you would ask him
yourself.’
A long pause ensued—tbe deep and thought
ful expression of bis countenance showed
that bis heart was reachvd.
' Don’t you think you had better ask him
yourself?’
‘ Yes,' said the boy, readily.
Ho kneeled again in his mother’s lap and ut
tered in his simple and broken language, a
prayer for the protection of Heaven.
