liorc or .lloucy,
BY BUZZ.
Rob Harney was a young man' of very
Bocial temperament; and tins fondness fur
society led him into associations,by no means
improving either to his purify or his purse.
He soon ran through his patrimony; but, Lav- j
ing a kind brother, he was enabled to make
another start in the world.
Again his habits reduced him, and again
his brother assisted in bis recovery. But
what tyrants our civil practices are. hob
soon had additional evidence of this truth.—
H;s prodigality brought him down again, and
to make Ills situation more desolate, his
brother, having determined to see what ef
fect throwing him upon his own energies
would have refused him any farther aid.
“What shall I do now!” ruminated hob.—
-My brolhCT has declined being my banker; I
and there is no other person 1 can think ot !
trusting in so responsible an office. I must
take care of my own funds. Yes, I see I
tnust advocate the sub-treasury. But the
treasury is empty; and something must be
done to increase the revenue. Lei’s sec; '
what shall it be? Overseeing? No; that j
won’t do, unless over my own negroes, and '
these I happen not to have just now. Hard |
work of some kind? This 1 could never en
dure. Speculation? Ye.-; that’s the idea; i
but in what? Some capital might be r.eces- j
sary; ami this, like my negroes‘‘has stepped |
«ul!’ Ah’! I have it now,” continued hub, i
after a few moments’ deep reflection; “I’ll j
speculate in matrimony. A nailer o' money; ;
just (he thing for me.”
The next week found Bub in a fine car
riage, drawn by a pair of excellent horses,
with driver and out-rider to match. These
be hud succeeded, in borrowing of his broth
er; and he was now out speculating in matri
mony.
His course lay towards Charleston; and
the second night, after his leaving home 1
came upon him just as he was opposite the
residence of a rich widow, some miles from j
that city. The lateness of the hour was i
sufficient apology for his requesting accorno
dalions for the night.—These were readily
granted: and soon his heavy trunks, that
required two strong negroes to carry, were !
In the house; and himself seated at a cheering
b upper.
The lady was social. She knew his family 1
by reputation,and from him learned that he !
was on his way to Charleston to purchase |
negroes, of vvh ch she thought the weight
cf his trunks good evidence. His departure
next morning was accompanied with an
invitation to call up* nh s return. But a few
days had elapsed when he was back. He re
ported the na kot unfavorable to present pur
chases, and seemed disposed to visit while
waiting for a change in it.
11c remained in the neighborhood a few
days; but these wore enough in which to set
tle the fate of a rick young man in the esti
mation of lhal young widow. They were en
gaged. Bob postponed the purchase of ne- j
groes tor the present, and began preparing
himself for the wedding.
The matrimonial ceremonies were per
formed, and Dob,by promising faithfulness in
the duties of'husband, became the master of
a large fortune.
The next morning, as the mild rays of the
cun spread a brightness through their room,
the husband awoke, raised himself upon his
elbow, and, gating intently upon the placid
ind handsome features of his wife, seemed in
deep revery. He aroused himself, and im
printing a kiss upon her ruse-bud lip, awa
kened her.
“My dear, said Mr. Harney, repeating the
delighful salutation, “my dear, have you mar
ried me for love or money!"
- “For/ote,of course, my dear,” said Mrs.
Harney, throwing her soft arms around her
husband’s neck, and pressing him affection
ately to her bosom. Mr. Harney reciproca
ted her embrace, and very calmy said:
“Well, then, Jl am exceedingly glad to
hear it, my dear—for I have not got the ffrat
dime. H
Bob sent back his brother’s carrage, horses,
driver and out-rider; and of the “rocks” he
had in his trunks, made a pavement before
the door—the stepping stones to his fortune.
Finding herself sure enough married, his
wife used every effort to make he husband
happy and to be so herself; nor did sbe fail.
Bob made, under her tuition, an excellent
husband, and cut oftTrom old associations,
became a man of superior domestic business
habits.

From Kio Janeiro.
The big Adams Gray, captain Boyce, ar
rived at this port yesterday from Ilio Janeiro,
which place she letl on the 15th December.
The news is not important—nothing has
transpired that we learn in relation to thedif
ficullies between our minister and the Bra
zilian government, though from the fact that
the United Slates frigate Columbus, Ccm.
Rouseau, had sailed for the river Plate, and
the brig Bainbridge was to follow in a few
days, we presume that things remain in siaiu
quo and will so continue until Mr. Wise re
ceives answers to his despatches. The ships
Susan Drew, Loo Choo, and Thomas 11. Per
kins, with the California regiment on board,
left Rio for their destination under convov
of the sloop of war Preble, about the Ist De
cember. The officers and men were in the
onjoyment of excellent health. The bark 11.

'Volunteer* Off at I.ast.
It is with the greatest satisfaction that we
«re enabled to announce on the authority of
the Quartermaster’s Department of this city,
that there is a prospect of the 2d Regiment of
Pennsylvania and the 2d Regiment of Mis
sissippi volunteers getting off to-day. We
were informed last evening that six ships, i
the General Vezie, Mayflower, Prentice
Henry Pratt, J. N, Cooper and Ocean, are
all ready to take them on board, and it was ex
pected that the majority of them would em
bark last night. 'They will all get off to-day
without doubt, and relieve our inoffensive
citizens from their obnoxious presence, leav
ing them to enjoy the comlorts of their homes
without being subjected to insults and out
rage* of the grossest character, by that por-
tion of the volunteers, who disgrace the name |
of soldiers, and bring the entire volunteer I
force into disrepu e by their unbrilded ruffian
ism. It is to be regretted that the officers of I
these regiments, if they were cognizan t ofA he
outrages of their men, and they could not be
ignorant of it, did not denounce the guilty
parlies publicly and by name, that the res- i
pect able port ion of their force should not sul- j
ter for the lawless acts ol their comrades. |
[Correspondence of the Charleolcn Courier.]
Washington, Jan, 31, 1847.
I learn that Gen. Gaines, who has been in
this city some days, intends to publish an
address to the public, explanatory of bis views |
of the proper mode of conducting the Mexican i
war and defending the course taken by Gen. i
Taylor.
It is also said that Gen. Gaines, though j
lie admits that Gen. Taylor’s letter, of Nov.
9th, was addressed to him, denies that he
authorised or permitted its publication, lie
says, as I learn, that he gave the letters to
the editor of the Express to read, but not to j
make public.
But Gen. Gaines’ promised account of i
the operations connected with the Mexican ;
war, may possibly be suppressed in conse- j
quence of the revival and enforcement of the |
Army Regulation forbidding such publication, |
on pain of dismissal from the service. The
tone of the article in the Union of last night, |
on the subject of Gen. Taylor’s letter, may ;
admonish the venerable General ol the ex
pediency of holding his pen, if not his place.
I do not think that the public generally look
with much admiration upon the epistolary
displays of military men. Commodore Porter,
Commodore Decatur, General Gaines and
General Scott, did not enhance their repn
i tation bxqanv ol these writings, and the pul lie
I have been disposed to respect General Taylor
j the more for his discreet re.-erve in this re
! gard. They will be glad to learn that Gen
| era! Taylor did not intend his letter for pub
-1 Beat ion,' and that General G tines did not
i connive at its surreptitious publicity.

i yesterday from Tampico having left there on
the 1 (lt!i inst. She brought over the following
passengers; John R. Drew, Henry Sullivan,
Mr. Andrew and Capt. 11. Sadler, late master
I of the brig Mount Vernon, wrecked on the
S bar at Tampico, with a part of Ir.s crew. By
j this arrival we have received lire following
loiter from a correspondent.
[CorrsiOhibiiec of ike Picayune.]
Tampico, Jan. 16,1847.
■ Gentlemen —We have had a dearth ot in
! terest for a few days past; since the return
of r he last expedition, which was countermand
ed about live miles outside of the city, no
| movements have taken place among the
i troops. Yesterday Gen. Shields reviewep
them ail on the flats below town, and con
! sidering the patchwork nature of the force
! stationed here, they manoeuvred remarkably
I well. The corps of engineers are still busily
i engaged in extending the lines of fortification
j from the high grounds upon which the city
stands, to the water’s edge. When these are
completed, this place, with a garrison of 2000
Americans, may be considered impregnable
to any army the Mexicans could send against
it.
We hear that Gen. Scott has gone up (o
Camargo for the purpose of having a personal
interview with Gen, Taylor, who is to join
him there—and we hear of many oilier move
ments, both of our own and of the enemy,
in which little if any reliance can be placed,
| as such rumors are generally the forerunners
jof their own contradiction. The fact is we
J are between hawk and buzzard. We are
just far enough offi from both the fleet and
the main body of the army, to allow story
fanciers full’scope to their imagination in
fabricating yarns in relation to them. Since
the receipt here of the melancholy news of
the loss of the brig Somers, we have not had
at word from Com. Conner. Within the past
ten days we have experienced some very
violent gales here and feel anxious to hear
from Vera Cruz I doubt very much if any
thing of consequence is likely to be done by j
the fleet alone at present for that reason. The !
recent warning has sunk too deep and remains !
too fresh upon our minds lor us to expect
that the lives and fortunes of our brave tars
should be nskel in frivolous enlerprUes.
What a market! is the exclamation of
everv new comer that sets -foot upon our
shores. Why I can buy beautiful teal ducks ;
for a picayune a pair!! So you can, my
friend, but before you have done you will j
wish ducks were not half so cheap. Don j
Diego has had sense enough to see that i
Yankees have a great partiality for the ani- j
mal, and we are quacked to death—or are :
like the woman on the Mississippi river who j
although well supplied with wild turkey and |
venison, wanted “something good to eat.”— |
We want some hog meat. The barometer
regulates our market, it being a feast or a
famine according to calm or storm. These
Mexicans think that when a norther is blow
ing it would be the height of folly either to
provide themselves or oilier people with the ;
wherewithal to satisfy the cravings ofhunger, I
hut we will educate them bye-and-bye.—
Truly it is a country of hands, but alas! |
where are the heads to which each pair is !
entitled?

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5, 1847.
O*We received neither Washington nor ;
. ° i
Baltimore papers by last evening’s mail—
and have, therefore, no information from i
Washington.
j Northern Beaiocracr e:i the !B!arc Ques
tion.
We cannot admire either the temper or
| the motives of those Southern Whig presses
| that taunt the Southern Democrats with the !
defection of some of their “Northern Allies”
i upon this question. Take the worst view of
; the facts of the case, and it proves only that
among the Democrats of the North there are
some men as bad as the leading Whigs of
that section—that even among the Demo
crats there are some men not far behind
Webster,and Adams,and Slade,and Schenck, I
and GiJding?, and Greely, and a host of lead- j
ing Whigs of the North.
There seems to be a fatuous rejoicing, a j
shamefully inconsiderate exultation, among |
these Whig organs at the fact that there are j
some, that indeed there may be, very many |
Democrats as well as Whigs at the North,
who are not only Anti Slavery men but deep
ly dyed in Abolitionism. They point with
vulgar triumph to the recent moves of Mr. 1
°* r . J
Wilmof, a Democrat, and Mr. Preston King, 1
also a Democrat, in Congress and exclaim, I
j “behold we told you so.” “Southern institu- j
i tions have fewer friends in the North than
| has been supposed. Even some of the De- j
inocrats are among their most bitter assail
ants.”
Well, if this view gives them pleasure,
t!iev are welcome to it. They .are also wel-
come to all the political capital they can '
make out of it. Let us now contrast the
two parties on this subject—the Whigs and
the Democrats of the North. We assert that
all the sympathy and good will the South
has in the North for her constitutional rights
on this question arc to be found with tlie ;
Democracy. That has beCn strong enough |
hitherto to stay the hands of the Whigs, j
We owe our immunity from aggression and
outrage hitherto from the alliance with j
Northern Democracy—our natural allies, as
they are called ironically,by Southern Whigs.
! The great body of that party has always I
voted with the South, when the subject came
up in any of the insidious forms of ag'grcs- j
sinn, which Whig ingenuity, stimulated by
Abolitionism could invent. The great body
of the Whigs went always against us. Iti«
true, both Wilmol and King are Democrats, j
But who voted for Mr. Wiimot’s proviso
hist session? Every Northern Whig. Who
i voted to suspend the rales, so as to admit
Mr. King’s bill this session. Every North
ern Whig, and one Southern Whig. Yet
| the Southern Whigs now chuckle over these
I movements, because it indicates, in their
1 imagination, the dissolution of the ties which
j bold together the Northern and Soul hern
I Democracy. They seem to look with in- !
i tense delight to the elevation of their Slades !
; and Seward’s and Greely’s and Giddings’ to I
power over the heads of the Northern Demo- ;
i cracy; as if the South lias anything to gain j
bv the overthrow of the Wilmot’s and King’s i
; of tiic North, to put in their place Whig and j
! Abolitionist substitutes.
But they will be disappointed. The De
' mocrals of the North are the natural allies
of the South. Their State rights and strict :
; construction doctrines make them so. By j
| the very nature of their political creed they j
defend and protect our constitutional rights.
With them the constitution means some
thing, and does secure rights even to minori
ties. It is not just what a dominant majori- |
ly think fit from time to time to make it. •
The Northern Whigs under their “general j
! welfare” notions can and would without scru- 1
I pie sweep from the South every vestige of
her rights, or by arbitrary construction fritter
i them away.
I The Democrats are a more honest party
| than the Whigs. They will cut loose from
i a man untrue to his obligations to his conn- j
try and the constitution. The Southern De
j mocracy have not failed promptly to de- j
I nounce the movement of Wil mot and King, j
But the constituents of the latter have dis- j
claimed his conduct. The Anti Slavery i
resolution of this member was recently j
offered at a Democratic Convention held |
in Rochester, New York and was laid upon j
the table, only four votes being given in iti !
favour. What would have been the result
had such a resolution been off red at a con
vention of Northern Whigs. It would have
passed unanimously. In the New York Sen
ate, the effort made to prevent the adoption
of Mr. Young’s Anti Slavery resolution was
by a Democrat. The only votes given against j
it were Democratic. It is true however, that
with those few exceptions both Whigs and
Democrats voted for the resolution. But not
only are the Democrats of the North more in
clined to regard the constitutional rights of i
the South, but the Democrats of the South do
not hesitate to-insist that even their Northern
allies shall not meddle with impunity with
those rights. They do not hesitate to denounce
the effort when made or the men that make
it, whether they be Whigs or Democrats.
But how is it with the Whig press of the
South? Do they over attempt to read out of
their party,or to exclude from its confidence 1
those Whigs who are the bitterest enemies I
of the South, and are yet “notwithstanding”
the very pink and flower of Whigery? Ah!
it would appear supremely ridiculous to de
nounce a Northern Whig because he is an
Abolitionist. Abolitionism is “the badge of
all their tribe.” A Whig at the North would
lose cast with his party, if lie were to come j
out and lake bold, manly and Democratic j
ground on this question. This dangerous i
heresy may make formidable progress even j
in ihe ranks of the Northern Democracy. 1
We apprehend that it has done so. But the
South if betrayed by its hitherto fast friends,
would never turn to Northern Whigs to ar
rest the evil. Nor would she ever commit
the consummate folly of aiding the Whigs to
obtain power under the vain hope that her
condition would be bettered by the change-
When the Democracy of the North fa Is us,
the best hope for the continuance of the
Union is gone. But hitherto tiic fiercest
and most persevering assaults have been
made upon that Union, through the slavery
question, from the very bosom of the North
ern Whig party.

The members of the Richmond Bar, hav
ing assembled in the Council Chamber, on
: motion,the meeting was organized by calling
! Gen. Thomas Flournoy to the chair, and ap
’ pointing John Milledge Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been
briefly slated by the chairman, Charles J.
Jenkins rose and offered thefullowing resolu
; lions, which were passed unanimously.
Resolved , That the members of this Bar,
I have heard with profound regret, from his
; Honor Judge Gamble, that the enfebled state
of his health, renders necessary, the immedi
ate resignation of his office.
Resolved , That whilst the brief judicial
career of His Honor, has multiplied and
strengthened, his acknowledged claims to Ihe
gratitude of his fellow-citizens generally, for
lengthened and various public service, its
termination is most deeply deplored by us,
who respect him as a man, love him as a
brother, and honor him as a Judge.
Resolved, That Judge Gamble carries with
him info retirement our most earnest desire
that his health may be speedily restored, and
his eminently useful life, be Ion? and happy.
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap
pointed to present to Judge Gamble a copy of
these resolutions, sinned by the chairman and
secretary of this meeting, and to request from
him and from Gen. Flournoy, fur publication •
with these proceedings, copies of their re
marks respectively upon the announcement
of the intended resignation.
Res Iced, That the chairman of this meet
ing, when the Superior Court of Richmond
county should next be in session, present to
the presiding judge, these addresses and the
proceedings of this meeting, with a request
that they be entered on the minutes of the
Court.
The following gentlemen were appointed
by the chair to carry into effect the fourth
resolution—Messrs. Holt,Camming and Mil
ler.
On motion, the mcel'njj then adjourned,
THOMAS FLOURNOY, Chairman.
John Milledge, Secretary.
Gentlemen ;—I have received a copy of
Judge Gamble’s reply, on the subject of the
resolutions which were passed by the Baron
the loth instant. I have not a perfect recol
lection of what I said in answer to the ob
servations which were addressed to us from
the Bench, expressive of the determination
to resign his appointment.
As the Judge declined furnishing a copy
of his remarks-, for reasons stated in his let
ter of the IGlh inst., I fed it to be my duty,
fur the same reasons, to decline an attempt
to write out what I said on that occasion, us
requested in your note to me of the 15th
inst.
I am, respectfully, your friend,
and obedient servant,

Augusta, 16th Jan-, 1847.
Gentlemen :—I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt this day from your
j hand, the resolutions passed unanimously by
the members of the Bar, upon the subject of
my retiring from the Bench. This favorable
notice of ray public course is to me certain
ly as welcome as it was unexpected, and as
I feel it to be unmerited. lam perhaps more
indebted to that generous flow of fraternal
feeling and kind intercouse which I know
exists amongst the members of our Bar, than
to any claims which \ may have for services 1
rendered. Be this, however, as it may, it is
always pleasing to be assured.that our course
meets the approval of our fellow-citizens,
and more especially is this gratifying at tins I
time as it comes fromthighly esteemed friends
at the moment of our separation. I know
i you will believe me when I tell you that !
I J
feel the utter want of language to express
in adequate terms the lively sense of grali- !
j - i
tude excited by this renewed and most flat- :
tering manifestation of their confidence and j
partiality.
You have boon directed by the meeting to ;
request a copy of ihe remarks submitted by
me in announcing my intended resignation.
That the meeting must excuse me from at
tempting, the remarks were few, simple, un
premeditated and disconnected. In fact it was
only one friend speaking to another “face to
face” in the language and promptings of an
overflowing heart addressed to the hearts of
friends finally parting, in which little is said,
much felt. This was my case. Permit me>
through you, to assure the meeting that, all
their kind sentiments and wishes are most
cordially reciprocated. I thank you, gentle
men, for ll e polite and very feeling manner
in which you have performed the duty as
signed you.
Very sincerely, your friend,
and most obedient servant,

M ACON, Feb. 2. Cotton. —The cotton mark t
has had another upward spring since our last.—
The foreign news by the Hibernia readied town on
Friday. When this intelligence became generally
known it produced considerable excitement, and
has so completely unsettled prices, and created
such a diversity of views among holders, that we
hardly know what change to make in our figures.
Parties generally have been waiting to see
what effect the news will have in the seaboard
markets, and the sales made since Friday have not
been large. The few that have been made were
at an advance of full i to Ic upon our figures of
this day week. We omit quotations until the mar
ket assumes a more settled character.

COLUMBIA, FcbTy. I.— Cotton. —The ncvv«,
brought out by the Hibernia, and published imme
diately on its arrival in this town, has bail a ten
dency to advance prices considerably. We are
glad, however, that speculation has not been great,
or nnwar-anted by the actual condition ofdematid
and supplies. The highest actual prices as yet ob
tained in this place, have been Hie. Though we
can only quote at 10 and 11s.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.— Colton. —There contin
ues to be considerable excitement, with an active
speculative demand at gradually advancing rates..
We have altered our quotations to correspond with
the closing prices, which are again fully ie per lb
above those of Wednesday last, and one cent high-*
or than those current before the arrival of the Hi
bernia. 'l’lie transactions since our last reach
17,500 bales, of which 11,700 hales were Upland
and Florida, thus:—Ord. to good ord. 111a 12;
mid to good mid. 121 a I2i; mid. fair to fair 121 a
131; fully fair to good fair 134 a 14 cents.
Exchange. —The business for the steamer of tho
Ist prox. has been very large and prices have fluc
tuated considerably. We quote bills on London
3J a 54 per cent prem, with some small sales a lit
tle higher; Paris f 5,40 af5,374. Exchange on
London closed heavily.
MOBILE, Jan. 30.— Cotton. —The receipts this
week are 28,031,ba1es ,and the exports 10.170 hales.
The stork rent lining on hand and on ship-board
is 120,317 bales, against 129,090 bales same time
last season.
The market opened on Saturday with a good
enquiry, and about4ooo bales were sold, generally
at the outside figures given by us on Saturday
morning. On Monday there was also a good at
tendance of buyers, but the high prices asked by
holders restricted the sales to some 3000 bales.—
Tuesday, owing to the inclement state of the
weather, and the fact that many factors had al
most entirely withdrawn their stock to await the
the steamers’s advices, only about 1000 hales
changed hands. Up to this time rates had hut
•lightly advanced. On Wednesday the market
opened wjth a fair enquiry, at the above rate—
