FREE TRADE—LOUDEN. McDUEI IE AND
CALHOUN.
Words linked together in the annals of
fame—forever identified with the true spi
rit of justice—may they never suffer from
monopoly or oppression, free trade, so
dear to the sons of the Palmetto State, so
much the lifeof all that has made them ap
pear before the world honest, true, and
consistent politicians, closely connected
with all that we turn to, with pride: yea,
as close as the honesty of the soul is to
the purest promptings of life—lies trade
now stands before the world as the gui
ding principle which is to direct and in
fuse new life, vigor and prosperity into
commerce, and tlie industrial presuits ot
man. The death stroke has been dealt
to monopoly and oppression—and it came i
not unexpected. The tyrants waited sul
lenly in their halls of power, to see this \
regenerating prodigy—this offspring of
the mighty minds of Cohdeo, McDuffie,
and Calhoun, march into their ranks and
meekly but sternly, demand reparation
forthe law chained wiongs of centuries, j
Richard Cobden, the humble cham
pion of this policy in England. is no com- j
mon man. '{'tie patient and untiring de- |
votion of long hopeless years, the watch
ing of wrong ami oppression and injus
tice, in order that he might at last call
these royal myrmidons to a strict ac
countability —the repulses of session as
ter session—the jeers of the opposition— 1
the taunts of the noble—the hauteur of
the purse proud, would have been insup
portable toan ordinary mind—to one who j
had no interest hut his own elevation at
stake. Hut, to Cobden, all this added
fire to his brain, ami nerve to his soul, for ,
he saw the victory ahead which was to j
establish, not his fame alone, but wffs to
link his deeds and actions with blessings
on the human race hereafter. He saw
the poor who had starved for want of food
incident to the workings of a wrong
policy, fed by the white sails of free and
unrestricted commercial intercourse. He
heard responses to his proud daring in
the cause of freedom—from the forests
of the New World, and the clangor of ,
arms from our own sunny land, whose j
sons were ready to battle against their
oppressors at home, reached him across
the waste of waters. He fell the mag.
netic chainsof justice which vibrated from
the true-hearted in the world in reassur
ing unison with his own—lie paused not
in the dark days of almost hopeless bat
tle—but looking upwards, that light
which guided the believing of old. served
to irradiate bis path and enkindle in his i
heart, new fires of devotion to the cause
of justice and humanity.
When the work was done—when the
responses of the nation met his mock
teachings of right in the proud halls of
Parliament—when the censer was laden
with rich offerings to his genius—and
the golden rod of power was held forth to
tempt him, he fell not into the flattering
embraces of the Syren who would have
lured him to a bed of ruin.—No! pure,
untempted by the tinsel glitter of power,
lie humbly received the tribute w hich his
devotion to the people had wrung from
the British Nation, ami presented to the
wo Id the miracle of a statesman whose
political life has thus tar show n, tliat.it
has not been spent for himself, but in the
cause of the People. The only parallel
which comes to our mind w hilst we are
writing, is that of our own .McDuffie and
Calhoun, the friends of the English corn
law leaguer.-the true sons ot Carolina.
Few men now live whose names will
he treasured up in days to come, but
amongst those few will he heard upon
(he tongues of unborn patriots and min
gling in tlie hymns of freedom, the names
of Cobden, McDuffie and Calhoun,

NUMBER ONE BROADWAY—THE PRE
SENT RESIDENCE OF THE MAYOR.
The residence of the Mayor, in Broad
wav. the first house from the Battcy,
is one of the curiosities of New Yoi k,and
• every old inhabitant, as fie passes by,
casts a thought to that period when it
was inhabited by men distinguished in
our revolutionary annals—American and
English.
Before the revolution, it was occupied
by the different English officers w ho com
manded the t roops in t his city and w as con
sidered an apenage to tlie fort in the vi
ciuitv. W hen General Charles Lee was
sent on from Boston by Washington, in
the spring of 1 770, to fortify this city, he
made “Kennedy House” his headquar
ters. After that, General Putnam, who
had executive command of the cilv, be
fore tlie commander, in chief a rri ved. lived
in this building with his wife and (laugh
ters, they having accompanied him after
leaving the camp at Cambridge. Gen.
Washington resided in it for a short
limo before the evacuation of the city in
177 G, woen the British landed and look
j>o'<ession.
Sir William Howe, the commander-in
chief of the invading army, next took pos
session of the mansion; and there he re
sided until he went with Tit’s army to
Philadelphia, after the battle of Brandy
wine, from which city he was re called
home by the orders of Lord George Ger
maine, to answer why lie had not beaten
the Yankees! His aide defence will be
! remembered by all readers of American
; history.
Sir Henry Clinton evacuated Phila
delphia in June, 1778, and, marching
through New Jersey, fought the battle of
Monmouth with W ashington, which was
i a kind of drawn game, and succeeded in
reaching Sandy Hook, from whence his
army was conveyed to this city. Sir
I Henry Clinton, who had been appointed
j commander.iti-cftief, in place of Sir Wil
i liam Howe, next occupied the old man
sion; and here he kept state in lordly
style, “with feast and banquet,” for seve
j ml years. The accomplished, but un
fortunate Andre, Sir Henry’s aid, in this
; fine old building wrote the very letters to
Arnold, under the assumed name of John
Anderson, which ended in the deep, damn
ing treason of the one, and the scaffold
and halter forthe other.
The roof of the old mansion has shel
, tered the stately forms of Washington, .
Putnam, Green, Lee, and all the glorious
i field officers of seventy-six. Nor has it
been inhospitable to our country’s ene
mies. Howe, his brother, the admiral,
i Earl Clinton, Cornwallis, Lord Rawdon,
afterwards Marquis of Hastings, Carle*
| ton, William IV, of England, then amid-
I shipman, Andre, Tarletou, Knyphausen,
De Reidescl, and hosts of others, well
known in the annals of the times, have
feasted in the old mansion now occupied
by Mayor Mickle. What interesting in
cidents are connected with its walls!
#'he last British officer who ever dwelt
in it was Sir Guy Carleton, afterwards
Lord Dorchester, who commanded the
i British troops up to their embarkation, in
November, 1753. Ho was the last of the
red coats who held royal seignority over
the city of New York. Is not the build
ing where tlie mayor now dwells dear to
i New Yorkers? Should it not be pre
, served as long as one brick will s : and
upon another, or its roof give shelter to u
human being? “God bless the old man
sion!” say I, for there is nothing idola
trous in the wish,
i 'There is some doubt as to the original
builder of this famous house; but the
- clearest evidence (without searching up
■ old title deeds in the register’s office) is,
that a Captain Kennedy, of tlie British
navy, caused the house to be erected
sometime between the years 1755 and
17G0, near the close of the French war.—-
It is a matter of little importance, how.
ever, for the ownership has been so varied
up to tlie time it fell into the possession of
the la e Mr, Prime, founder of tlie fa
mous banking-house of Prime, Ward,
King & Co , that the record is of little
consequence to the genera! reader. It
mav be as well to remark, that the back
portion of the mansion was added during
the present century.
A Bat Sic Field. —For two days a thou
sand cannon had swept it, and three bun
died thousand men had struggled upon it
in the midst ol their fire. The grassy
plain was trodden into mire, on which
nearly twenty thousand men mangled,
torn and bleeding, had been strewn.
Many bad been carried into the city da
ting the night, hut some stark and stiff in
death—some resting on their elbows, pale
and ghastly, and calling for help, others
writhing in mortal agony amid heaps of
the slain, still covered the ground. Others
which had been hastily buried the day
before, lav in their half-covered graves.
—here a leg and there an arm, sticking
out of the ground, while to crown the hor
ror of the scene, multitudes of women
were seen roaming about the field, not to
bind up the wounded but to plunder the
dead. They went from heap to heap of
the slain, turning over the mangled bodies
and stripping them of their clothing; and
loaded down with their booty, gathered it
in piles beside the corpses. Unmolested
in their work they made the shuddering
i field still more ghastly by strewing it with
half naked forms. White arms and bo
dies stretched across each other, or drag
ged away from tlie heaps they had help
ed to swell, made the heart evenofXapo
> leon turn faint as lie rode over the field
i of slaughter. Oh, what a comment on
i war, and what a cure fur ambition and
the love of glory was this field! 'The ter
rified and horror stricken inhabitants
came out from the cellars of their burnt
dwellings and strove to relieve thi% woe by
burying the dead and succoring the
wounded. Such was the field of Dresden
as described by Headley.
oT7"E.xtracl of a letter to the Editor
of the Atlanta Enterprise, dated
Carteksville, Sept. 1 J.
A visit to the ironworks on the Etowa
must not he forgotten. Whether we visit
| this piace for tfie purpose of viewing the
infant efforts of the yet to be immense
j works of Georgia, I mean the Iron manu
factures, or whether we visit this place
for the purpose of viewing the works of
Nature, we cannot fail to be interested.
From some ten thousand miles travel,
never do I recollect to have seen in the
same space more of the romantic pictu
resque and wild works of nature, than are
found thrown together in tlie immediate
vicinity of these Ironworks. They might
j well he the subject of a long letter, or a
field for an artists pencil, but I pass on to
the improvements and works of man.
This establishment is now owned and car
ried nu under the firm of Cooper, Stroup
& Wyley. Mr. Stroup commenced ope
. rations here about ten years ano. And
his son Stroup has pursued a policy
of improvement and enlargement of the
concern with that indefatigable industry
and perseverance which is always ne
cessary to i lie achievement of a noble
work. Hon. Maik A. Cooper purchased
an interest in it about tvvo years ago, and
has since that time devoted to the improve
ment of the concern his well known finan
cial arid business talents. Mr. Wyley, a
capitalist in New York, has lately be
come an owner, thereby constituting a
firm sufficiently strong to put into opera
tion all works, or additional works neces
: sary to complete success. At tlie present
time they have one permanent dam across
the Etowa and a few rods above, arc com
pleting another. And so great is the fall
in the stream, that two more darns can be
\ thrown across at a short distance above,
j Their Furnaces and Forges already turn
! out the rise of 100 ions of Iron per month.
'To these I understand they intend adding
a rolling mill and nail factor)', and will
probably much enlarge the entire estab
lishment. Among other improvements
they are constructing a Flour mill on the
most improved principles and in tlie most
substantial manner. It is to contain four
• runner of stones, and will he able to
grind 300 bushels of wheat per day.
This entire establishment already gives
employment to about 150 persons, and
support to about 500. Quite a specimen
M r. “Enterprise”of“domestic industry.”
'The net income of the concern cannot be
less than •’5”5,000 per annum.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO.
Messrs. Editors: —An article appear

tain it was in Drayton’s South-Carolina,
that the “Declaration of Independence

on the 2d August. Now as the Declara
tion was read in Philadelphia on tlie 4th
of July, and adopted, it is more than pro
bable it was started immediately over the
whole country by express. If so, and
you count on the 4th of July and 2d of

be found that the Declaration was re

A BRILLIANT CHANCE.
Persons in want of assistance in any
sort of business whatever will perceive,
j by a perusal of the following advertise
j men!, that they have an opportunity of en
i gaging a very useful young man, who is
ready and willing to embark in any bu
* siness:
t Notice to Employers. —The advertiser
r takes this mode of informing the public
j that he is desirous of obtaining a situation;
j ho possesses a practical knowledge of
mercantile affairs; has had a thorough
clerking experience, from sweeping out a
counting-house to doing the correspond
ence; has resided in the city twenty years,
w inter and summer; had the yellow fever,
i cholera and small pox; flatters himself
t that he is pretty well acclimated, and that
“ he can remain at his post the year round.
! He would remark, however, that if it
■ i would enhance Ids value in the esiima
! j Ton of ids employer, he will not object to
f spending the summer months at Niagara,
j Saratoga, &c., without any extra pay be
i yond his traveling expenses. He is per
fectly willing to work on Sundays, or, if
more agreeable to his employer or his
lady, will go to church, creed or sect not
material, provided the pew is cushioned.
Being of a religious turn of mind, he
would he well adapted to the evangelical
1 line of business, and would engage to dis
tribute tracts, beg funds for building
; churches, for promotion of missions, aid
I to charitable societies for whatever nh
| ject, whether to furnish Dowsers to tlie
Camanches, kid gloves to sailors, urn
: brellasand sun shades to Texan volun
teers, or any other praiseworthy charity.
The advertiser has no objection to
; travel, and would ho willing to go about
as a subject for a respectable mesrnerizer,
j treasurer of a circus or menagerie, or, as
he can play on the fiddle, would be a
valuable acquisition to a traveling dan
cing master. He has good musical talent,
and can leach singing school; is also very
| e.xpeit at opening oysters, a good bar
keeper, billiard marker, or book-keeper
to a tenpin alley.
Having an unlimited stock of impu
dence, Ids services would be of great
#alue for peddling maps and quack medi
cines, or procuring subscriptions to peri
odical or standard literature.
The advertiser is an unmarried man,
but would beg to inform applicants,
should that prove objectionable, that he
can change his state in fifteen minutes.
Although variance with the usual cus
, tom of advertisers for situations, he would
observe that salary is an object.

MILDEW IN GRAPES.
The blight or mildew of the grapes is
thus explained in an article published in
I the “Horticulturist.” The fungi causing
O
blight is caused by a “surplus of car- ;
boniegas,” which gas could not exist as
such, were there a sufficient simply of
potash in the soil. In Liebig's Agricul
tural Chemistry, the matter is thus set
forth— ‘ Under ordinary circumstances, a ,
i manure containing not ash must be used,
otherwise the ferlilm, of the soil will de
creac. This is done in all wine coun
i tries.” The writer continues, “We may
now easily account for the fact mentioned
| by you r correspondent, that ‘old wines are
| much more liable to mildew than young.’
They have exhausted Tie potash f rom the
soil, and when their leaves absord cor
bonic acid, the plant has no potash with
| which to form a health salt, by union j
with it, and the diseased plant invites
tlie fungi! A humid summer is fovora- !
| hie for the generation of carbonic acid,
and lienee the reason why the vines have
been attacked this season. Soap suds is
beneficial, as it contains potash. The
, writer observes: “That wood ashes is one !
of tlie most beneficial fertilizers for the
grape vine, giving it the appearance of
extraordinary luxuriance and health.—
The great productiveness and longevity
of the vineyards abroad, which are found
i upon soil composed mainly of the spent
| ashes of volcanoes, and the acknowledged
i superiority of Tie grapes and wine vieid
ed at least by such soils, are manliest
proofs of the value of ashes. If its
application will ensure the cultivator
against mildew, it is, as the writer ob
! serves, a discovery of no ordinary utility.
Awful. —This is what the Barre Ga
zette says should be done to those who
steal fruit from trees and injure the
; branches of the trees; “They ought to
have their eyes picked out with hot pin
cers, their flesh filled with needles, their
hands drop off' with rot, their tongues
eaten with vile maggots, their ears grub
bed out with dull knives, their feet roast
ed over burning coals, their knees stuck
through with rusty skewers, their hair
pulled out with slow weights, their noses
ground off with rasps, their jaws taken off
with dull saws, their throats filled with
melted pitch, their teeth drawn out one by
one, their legs worm out by traveling on
scorpions, their bowels shot into with
Mexican copper grape, their backs opened
hv cals drawn backwards and healed by
aquafortis and then be drawn by the mag
netic telegraph over four thousand miles
of stump fence. they should
t be held to pay a smart fine and all dam
ages.” It appears to us that these pun
ishments would be rather too severe.
Another “Lone Star. I '—Not withstand
ing tlie translation of the “Lone Star”
of Texas to the galaxy of the American
Union, it seems that the firmament is still
blessed with one “Lone Star.” Mr.
Harlan, one of the orators of our sister
Stateof Kentucky, thus coruscates around
the head of Henry Clay.”
'The champion of American rights—
the statesman of statesmen —the orator of
the world—the honor of this Nation—the
terror of Europe—he is now, as he has
been for the last forty years, one lone,
bright star in the universe of nations and
of A few more years, and Tie
tomb will have closed over his remains,
hut it will be over that of as lofty an in
tellectual genius us this country has ever
i produced. Virginia gave him birth—
Kentucky was the nursery of his genius,

Singular Explosion. —The population in
1 the vicinity of Market square were, about 2
o'clock yesterday, startled by a nois- re
sembling that which proceeds from the ascent
1 of a rocket, followed immediately by a loud
detonation like that of an explosion of gun
powder. The cause of this apparent pheuo
inenon (for some thought at first it was a
meteor.) was a whiskey hogshead! A col
ored man who had drawn oft'the liquor, heard
something rattle in the empty cask, and to
ascertain what it was, he lowered a candle
, through tire bung-hole, wh«u the gas re
maining from the spirit ignited and the explo
i sioti followed, blowing out the heads of the
j cask, but doing no damage.— Norfolk Herald.
j doing it Rather Strong. —The following,
j if not abounding in fact, is figurative. It is
from the Concord (N T . II.) ileraid. Speaking
of a class of citizens of the Bay Slate, the

They talk of their holy religion; but their
robes of righteousness are woven at Lowell
and Manchester; their Paradise is a high per
