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. [Fr„m the N. O . Adas/, 2klh ult. .] 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.

'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 [From the N. O, Picayune, ZOlh ull. J i'sooi Taujwlco. The brig Union, Caps. ii sopor, arrived 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? Should any of your readers be disposed to ! find fault with the want of news in the fore- : going, you may make fair promises for the ; future, as all this while'we leave been getting j ready to do something interesting. Ordinary i lies in Tampico are beneath mv notice, but with such an assortment as is at present here, you may rely on receiving a whapper before long. Yours, A. B. Capt. Hooper reports no news, but brings us a letter containing some shipping news from Mr. Clifton, the harbor master of Tam pico; List of vessels lying at Tampico on the 1 5lh Jan —The brigs Irving, Capt.

The above wore discharging or loading.— The steamers Summers, Cincinnati, Undine and James Cage w T ere all engaged towing or lightering. The Oldenburg schooner Charlotte arrived offi the bar of Tampico the evening of the 14lh inst., under the pretence of leaking, but find ing that a survey would be called and that they had no “soft horn” to deal with, they put off'. The schooner was from Europe and Havana. Out of forty-six horses which were ship ped on the brig Irving for Tampico, only six teen arrived. from the neglect of the simple, precaution of nailing down slats or cleats to prevent their slipping.

[ Savannah Georgian , 3 d. inst. | == TubulfJ geoT “ 1 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. O.tu Jlarblc.

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.

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, ROGER L. GAMBLE. Messrs.
