ETrue Courage. Pare to be honest, just, magnanimous,: e to your God, to your country, ton jrselves and the world. Dare to do i others as you would have them do to|j i. There is a moral courage, which ibles a man to triumph over foes more : nidable than were ever marshalled by j Caesar. A courage which impels lim to do his duty—to hold last his in tegrity—to maintain a conscience void >f offence towards God and towards men. it every hazard and sacrifice, in defiance : if the world, and of the prince of the world. Such was the courage of Moses, . of Joseph, of Daniel, of Aristides, of Phe cion, of Regulus, of-Paul, of Luther, of Washington. Such is the courage which sustains every good man, amidst the :emptations, honors, conflicts, opposition, ivhich threaten him at every stage of hisj irogress through life. It is not a noisy, joastful courage which pushes itself into] fcotice when there is no real danger, but ivhich shrinks away when the enemy is at the door. It is calm, self-possessed, meek,unostentacious, retiring; but when the fearful hour arrives, then you shall behold the majesty of genuine Christian courage, in all her native energy and grandeur, breathing the spirit of angelic purity, and grasping victory from the fur nace of the lion’s den, when none of the millions of this world’s heroes would have ventured to share her fortune. ‘‘l teak; God, and I have no other fear,” is, one of the sublimest sentiments ever felt: for uttered by man.—[ Selected . Marshal Bertrand. This distinguished general and friend If the Emperor Napoleon is now making tour from New Orleans to the North, ivery where his reception has been the cost enthusiastic. lie is one of the very ew survivors who performed a conspicu >us* part in the stirring events which narked the early part of the present ccn urv; events that dazzled and astonished he whole civilized world. The bosom fiend of Napoleon, he followed the eagle liinnersof that extraordinary chief, from he moment of his elevation to his fall. In battle brave and impetuous, in coun-. cil cod and wary, he adhered to his great leader with unalterable affection, through out his long and brilliant career; and when the star of his glory was quenched in ravless night on the fatal field of Wa terloo, “ faithful among the faithless” stood the gallant and battle-worn Beh trand. When at last the Emperor was exiled to his ocean-girt home, among the many long tried followers who accompa nied him on his last march, Marshal Bertrand stood conspicuous and clung to his fallen chief with unabated devotion, until death closed his eventful career.— Southern Chronicle. Massacre in tlic South Seas. Papers have been received from Sid ney, New South Wales, up to April 29, containing an account of the murder of the crews of two coasting vessels. The! following is furnished by Captain Banks,! of the bark of Juno, which arrived at! Sidney on the 19th of April from the South Sea Islands: “Whilst staying at Juno Bay the fob lowing intelligence was gleaned from an English lad who had run away from the 1 schooner Mumford. He stated that a party from the north west harbor of the! Isle of Pines had, a few weeks before the! arrival of the Juno, arrived at Lcefo., irom whom he learned the following par-: ticulars relative to the brig Star,ofTahati, Captain Ebrill, which was destroyed by the natives of the Isle of Pines; it ap pears she was at anchor, the Captain and; crew on shore cutting wood and at a; signal from the principal chief, Matuku, and afterwards set on fire, but, during the progress of the fire, some gunpowder ignited, blowing up the vessel, and des troying about thirty natives, who were! standing on the poop. The brig Martha,, of Sidney, missing at Matrae, was seized,! and the captain and part of the crew destroyed in the following manner : I hey were tied to the trees with their i legs and arms extended, and their entrails ! taken out and roasted; they were then i taken down, roasted, and devoured. The i lad giving this information exhibited some I clothes given him by the natives, and which were said by them to have belong ed to the unfortunate captain of the ' Martha.” ! Threatened Destruction of the Mormons. I The Hawkeye,published at Burlington,!' lowa, contains the following startling an nouncement in relation to Joe Smith and his followers. Should the proposed Con vention be lawless and rash enough (says C the Kentuckian) to carry out the meas- l ures suggested, we feel too confident of ' the firmness of Gov. Ford, to doubt for a C moment his promptitude in affording his citizens military protection against such ' unauthorized aggression. What is more * Gov. Ford’s boundless popularity in the r •State over which he presides, will secure c an y requisition he may make upon the militia oflllinois, unhesitating obedience, t Anti-Mormon Convention, —Delegate- s j from several of the lower counties on the ; Military Tract, will convene at Carthage lon Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday jnest, to take into consideration the pro priety of adopting defensive measures in relation to the Mormons. The late refu sal on the part of Gov. Ford to issue a new writ in compliance with the requisi tion of the Gov. of Missouri, for Joseph Smith, has awakened a spirit which we' fear mav end in bloodshed. The Mis sourians, 20,000 in number, it is said, stand ready to co-operate with the Illi noians. It is expected there will be a grfeat crowd at Carthage on the occasion, j Kentucky Marble. W e were agreeably surprised, a few days since, during a visit to the rooms of the Kentucky Historical Society, in; ! looking at a pair of mantels made of blue fossiliferous lime-stone, the quarries of ; which are near this city. These marbles are composed of my riads of fossil remains, crystalized in the! most perfect and beautiful manner, varie-! gated with vitreous veins, and green and yellow earth. The remains of thousands of animals are perfectly open to the eye of the geologist, imparting at once a beau ty and an interest to the marble. The frieze of the mantel is almost entirely composed of testaceous animals. We Ishouldlike to stand by the side of John Buckland aud hear him read the antedi luvian history of these mnrbles. They | would be to him what an Egyptian erv i tograph was to Champollian. The rc ! mains of shells and animals are as perfect as thev were at the hour life left them. [Low. Journal. MiSC ELL AN EOF S ITE MS. Printed by a Woman. —The Declara tion of Independence, as appears from a printed copy in the office of the Secretary of State, transmitted to the Convention of North Carolina in 1777, by Jno. Han i cock, and bearing his signature in his own hand-writing, as President of the i Congress of ’76, was originally printed by Mary Catharine Goddard. Mrs. Hall, whose husband was a part ner of Dr. Franklin, in printing the first ! paper in Philadelphia, recently died at j Salem, New Jersey. American Cotton Goods. —Boston has 1 exported in three months 12,863 bales and 39 cases, amounting to more . than nine millions of yards of Cotton , Goods. The sales of cotton goods in three months, manufactured in Rhode I Island and Massachusetts amounting to , $5,000,000. Mexican Indemnity. —The second in • stahnent of the Mexican indemnity may be shortly expected, as the United States Ship Vincennes has sailed to Vera Cruz to receive it. Earthquake. —A severe shock of an ! earthquake is said to have been felt at i Summerville, Tennessee, on the 19th ult. • It was also felt at Memphis, attended with j considerable noise, and continued about a ! minute. The Cincinnati Gazette says, “The country south of us has been visit led by another shock of an earthquake. Something of a Job. —The matter re quired for the publication of the London Times requires the labor ofsixtv-two com ipositors (or type setters) daily. Forty ; hands are employed on advertisements ! alone. The land slide or crarassee in N. Or leans, by which many of the wharves in the first Municipality have been destroy jed, is in a rapid course of repair. Even Ia new street is talked of, as being filched from the father of Rivers. The Montgomery Advertiser of 29th 1 ult. says, the Yellow Fever continues on the increase in Mobile, and must, unless the weather changes. It is represented by the Mobile papers as peculiarly fatal I this year. In New Orleans also, the same disease is on the increase. The steamer Clipper, burst her boilers on the 17th ult. while rounding out from Bayou Sara, Louisiana, and every body on board, except the Captain and two oilers, were killed. Thirty lives were lost. A Mr. John Stoddard has a plantation of Pine Apples on Danfuskie Island, Geo. and it is stated by the Savannah Geor gian he confidently expects that this de licious exotic can be successfully culti vated in that region. London Burials. —ls the dead of Lon don were buried singly, thirty-three acres of ground would be required annually to contain them. At present the graves are dug fifteen feet deep, and the bodies often poor persons are deposited in each. It is said that Post Master General Wickliffe has already put an end to Sab- i bath mail transportation on different routes amounting in length to upwards of 80,000 miles. An experiment with the Electric Light 1 which has been talked of so much as a substitute for gas, was made recently on the top of a house on the Quay Conti, in l \ Paris* The light was so brilliant, that at i a distance of 260 metres (about 220 im perial yards) it was possible to read print | or manuscript. The Cincinnati Chronicle Hotices the! death'of art old lady in that city recently, at the advanced age of 101 years. Her name was Anne Heflerman. She had ;three husbands; her second one died at t he age of 10?!. Her oldest son died about j tive years ago, aged nearly 75 years.

The corn may be brushed off in the irtortiing, ’ having been dissolved by the action of the caustic. ; ; Potato Bread.—The potato makes I a pleasant, palatable bread with wheat, .in the proportion of one-third, but if one-! , j fourth, it is still lighter and better.— Soecimens of bread made of barlev and .I i V and also of oats and potatoes, were submitted to the board of agricul , ture, which promised well. In some peases the potato was not boiled, but mere ly grated down into a pulp and mixed with wheat flour, in which mode it made ex cellent bread. It has been found by other trials, that good bread may be t made from equal quantities of flour and potato meal, which is the common mode in potato regions. The most ready _ 'method of making potato bread is, after boiling, steaming (the best) or baking them, to reduce them to a moderate tine batter or paste, with warm water slightly ' impregnated with saleratus. If made up 1 with milk, the quality of the bread will be much improved.— Farmers' Ency eloper - 1 dia. 5 ‘ j Beeswax.—The neatest way, says the ]! Farmer’s Cabinet, to separate beeswax from the comb is, to tie it up in a linen or woolen cloth or bag, with a pebble or two t ’ to keep it from floating; place it in a { kettle of cold water, which hangs over the 1 fire ; as the water heats, the wax melts and rises to the surface, while all the im s purities remain in the bag. s To Cure a Cougii, or Cold.—The editor of the Baltimore “Farmer and 1 Gardener” says, that the best remedy he " ever tried in his family for a cough, or J cold, is a decoction of the leaves of the pine tree, sweetened with loaf sugar, to • be freely drank warm when going to bed : at night, and cold through the day. s 1 Cure §or Influenza.—Take equal parts of good vinegar and water; to a tea i spoonful of Cayenne ; sweeten with hon ley or sugar. Dose, a table spoonful at • going to bed, and one during the night, • if the cough be troublesome. ’ List of Payments to the Washingtonian. Belair —D. Mahoney, paid to Sept. 30, '-14. W’arrcnton- M.
