now slowly wending Ins way towards a small
hut very handsome house. lie was evidently
a aider, and apparently in the meridian of
life; hut a deep sorrow, which spoke in every

somewhat romantic.”
Adam Wilson was one of the brightest and
gayest boys of our school; he had a mind upon
which the common misfortunes of life made
no impression, but which, once deeply woun
ded, must inevitably ho overthrown. I, ko
most of the youths upon the coast, as soon as
he was old enough, he sought danger and
fortune upon the ocean, and it was not long
before lie became the first male of a slop
trading to Holism). In one of Ins voyages to
the northern provinces of that country, he
became attached to the daughter of a wealthy
navigator, whese rich dowry, however, was
the least of her merits in her lover’s estima
tion. Her father thought differently; yet, not
willing to thwart his iluugliter's wishes, ho
promised his consent to toe desired union as
soon as the young man should acquire a cer
tain amount of money which ho considered a
suitable eq'i valent tor (he dowry lie intended 1
to bestow upon Ins daughter. Animated by
• ptesion which swayed his whole being,
Wilson engaged a lucrative situation on board
a Doch Kast lndiaman, and neither ho nor
bis betrothed, for a moment doubted, that one
single voyage in the Vrotr Margarita, would
put him in a condition to claim her hand.
‘‘ln one year, Anna, with divine permission, I (
wII bo with your again,” said he m the part
ing. “Ves,” answered Anna, "my heart as
sures mo of your return.”
Ho did indeed return at the appointed time, 1
wealthy beyond his own anticipation* and his [
falher-in-law’a requirements; '.he richly laden
ship lay becalmed near that beloved coast of *.
whose inhabitants he had received no tidings
for more than a year. Adam’s impatience
was so great and apparent, that the phlcg- 1
msl'c Hollander, who commanded the ship, 1
granted Inin a boat and two oarsmen to cna- 1
ble linn to proceed to B and visit the '
object sf hia affections. It was in the spring '
«l 1825. As Adam and his companions ap- 1
preached the land they were stiuck with an 1
astonishing change in its appearance. Their 1
eyes vainly wandered over the level plain in 1
search of the well remembered windmill—the 1
lighthouse also had disappeared—and the 1
water seemed to stretch inland far beyond its
former boundary. At length they reached |
Ihe shore, not rightly knowing where; but
catching a distant view of the spire us the
church of B they again betook them
selves to their host and rowed directly to
wards it. But who can imagine Ihe feelings
of the youth when he discovered that the
rich meadows, the pleasant gardens, the neat
dwellings, the fruitful orchards, had all, all
disappeared, and Ihe place, formerly occu
pied by the lair village, became changed into
e desolated waste of waters! Eagerly did
Adam look for tho well remembered cottage;
bethought within Inmaelf that the dwelling
of his beloved must have been spared in the
general destruction; but he looked in vain,and
■t lengih became convinc'd that further
search would he useless. "Take me hence,”
said he in broken accents to hia companions,
"this is no place forme!” He afterwards
heard it related how Iho raging sea had bro
ken through the dykes, sweeping every thing
before it, and overwhelming hundreds of men,
women and children. His grief overpowered
his reason, and some months of mental obli- I
vion followed; consciousness at length awoke
in hia benumbed sou!, ami he came, a was ed '
skeleton aa you see him now, silently ond
sadly to his former home.
Here he avoided all society,and only to me !
confided, not indeed his sorrow,—fur that re- !
nnined locked up in his own bosom,—but his j
plan. He brought me a drawing of the form- 1
ar residence ot his betrothed, which faithful
memory had enabled him to sketch, and beg
ged of me with great earnestness, to assist
him in tree ing a similar dwelling. The
oversight of the work, ho added, with a emli,
shall be the business mid consolation of my
life; "for,” he confidentially whispered in my
ear “it is for Anna. You know her house
i« destroyed, and 1 have promised to bin d her
another. “When it n finished she will come hcie
and livein it with inr.” Looking al the pale coun
tenance and wadrring eye of Ihe poor aufTerer, I
thought within myself, it will he a deed of hu
man! y to encourage in him thia delusive hope,
and cunaequen ly I entered iain his views with
a zeal which secure I lit* confidence. I took
care that lh« work should advance us slowly ns
|K»a*ible, and accordingly ihe ll'rst so inner was
consumed in aclccthig a aite and laying out the
garden, in whish tulip* and other costly flowers
which ha knew io hav* been ihe favorite of hia
liairoth*'. bio tusd in 'hagrvt c>( prifacnmi and
beauty, to greet heron bar ani**'. At lenj'h
ihe hnuiia w»« finished and the dairy fitted up,
■ml the hitcher, ftm.iahrd with brightly sc.urefl
utensils all was prepared and glia'ened with
true Dutch neatness. Out alas! no Anna come!
With lender affection he sought out and re
purchased a parrot which he had brought from
India for her, and in the first bitterness of his
sorrow he had given to a stranger. He next
bought a finch, and (aught it to sing her favorite
airs. The pour man had done every thing that
lave and tenderness could suggest, hut still no
Anna came, and with the subtle hut imperfect
reasoning of insanity lie now supposed that she
was delayed only by adverse winds. Since lhal
ides todk possession of his mind, lie carefully
nrtfes every variation of the weather, with renew
ed hope ho repairs avery morning to the beach
and wilb bis spy glass In Ins band, spends the

Tub Nkwsp.vpkr.—How endless is the

it is to satisfy their wants. Mr. A believes
ho shall difcontinno his paper, because it con
tains no political news—and B is decid'd y of
opinion that the same sheet dabbles so freely
in the political movements of tbo day. C
docs not take it because it is ail nn one a do—
and D whose opinion it generally expresses,
does not like it because it is not severe enough
upon the opposition. J£ thinks it does not I 1
I pay line attention to fashionable literature— '
and F cannot bear the flimsy notions ot idle r

on liis table which ventures an opinion against
slavery —and 11 never patronizes one that
lacks moral courage to expose the evils ol the i
day. I declares he docs not want a paper ,

ing in Congress and the Legislature—and J
considers that paper the best which gives the
greatest quantity of such reading. K patroni- 1
i-’s paper* for the light nnd lively reading I
which they contain —and I, wonders tli.it the ,

such other “solid matters." M will not even ,

There has been somewhat of* "(lire up"
lately in New-York, between a Mr. Lynch;
(rather an ominous name) and a person cal
! ling himself Count Fitzgerald Tusistro, who,
i it seems, had marred into the Lynch family.
It appears that Mr. Henry Lynch suspects,
and has boldly declared, that the Count is
j not a genuine Count; ami the latter has pla
carded Mr. Henry Lynch as “a liar, a cow
ard! ami common rutli m.” One of the pas
j pers g«ves the following account of the Count
“Count Fitzgerald .ante to this country
1 about 10 or 14 months ago, ami on his arriv
!al took aporlmouls at the Globe Hotel. Ho
speedily formed * acquaintances with the
young “men of wit and fashion about town,"
and got introduced to various families of ton.
He represented himself os the son of Count
Tasistro, an Austrian nobleman, who had
intermarried with the ducal Irish family ofthe
Fitzgeralds of Leiuster, and in tbit chanc
ier paid In* addresses to the daughter of Mr.
James Lynch, and became an accepted suit,
nr. Previous to the marriage, a member of
the family bad suspicions ofthe Count’s ideo.
titv, and was not satisfied with his lestimo
nials, these, however, and the Count’s man
ners and tournure passed current with the
tallies, and the match was concluded. Asal!
ihe circumstance* will undoubtedly come
oh’, we do not feel disposed tog ve substance
| to a hundred rumors which have been rife;
bu' w* will come *1 i*n«w t'» tha
attributed to Mr. Lenry Lynch.
Count TMi«tor conclude* (hat that gentle
inan haa furnished Mr. Neill with the facta
oraurmisea alluded to in the correspondence
published ih s morning, as the former was
always opposed to the introduction of a
stranger into the family, without a more r.gid
scrutiny of hin pretensions—more particularly
as a branch of the Lynch family, when at
Florence, ascertained from the Austrian of
fieers there, that there was no such name as
Tasislro on the hats of the Atislraian, Hung
arian and Bohemian service.”

WASHINGTON* Ffb - ls * ,838<
In the House of Representative'* t°d»y> after
the reading of the journal: Mr. WlS*.*" ro,l#
•aid he bad a •object to bring before the
which involved tbs purity and honor of Congress.
A dire, I and unequivocal charge had been made
•gainst s member of CongreM, by two editors of
respunsiqle paper* in the country. He would
read as extracted from the Courier and Enquirer,
the charge to which he referred:
“ConnUFTiON in Congress. —We yesterday
published a letter from "the Spy in Washington,’’
directly charging a member of Congress with
corruption, and offering to provt the charge be
fore a Committee of either House, when called
upon for that purpose. Wa re publish the charge
to-day and call upon Congress promptly to in
stitute the investigation thus challenged—both
as an act of justice to itself and to the country.
“The Spy in Washington,” it may bo said, is
noi an ostensible or responsible person; but we
desire at once to obviate this difficulty by staling
as we now do, that he is known to us, and that
whenever called upon by a Committee of Con
gress. wc pledge ourselves that he shall be forth
coming, and that he is one whose standing war
rants an immediate proceeding on the part of
Congress."
Extract from yesterday's Courier U Enquirer.
“The more brief my statement, the belter it
will lie understood. It is in my power, if brought
to the bar of either House, or before a Committee,
and process allowed me to compel the attendance
of witnesses, to prove by the oath of a respectable
and unimpeachable cilieen, as well as by written
documentary evidence, that there is at least one
member of Congress, who has offered to barter
his services and his influence with a department
or departments, for compensation. “Why, sir”
said the applicant for a contract, “if my proposi
tion lias merit, it will be received. If it lias not
Ido not expect it will bo accepted.” And what
do you think was the amwer of the honorable
member? I will give it to you in his own em
phalic language, “.’l/erii,” said ho, "wily things
do not go here hy merit, but by pulling the right
strings. Make it my interest, and I will pull
the strings for you.”
“ I'llE Set in VVashinston.”
Mr. WISE said Congress was called upon to
defend its own character and honor, ho accord
ingly offered the following resolution :
Whereas the following article has appealed
in the New York Courier and Enquirer. (Here
follows the article of the Courier and Enquirer.)
Resolved, that a select committee be appointed
with power to send for persons and papers toen
quire into the truth of the charge.
Mr. WISE hoped, ho said, that the i-harga
would turn out to be salsa, or a mistake. He did
not believe that corruption existed here to the
extent indicated by ibis charge. If it did, reform
or revolution would be necessary.
Mr. CILLEY said, a charge put forth in this
way. was unworthy of notice. Before the House
would lake it up. the editor should make the
charge distinctly and upon oath.
Mr. BRIGGS called the yeas and nays on the
resolution, snd they were ordired,
Mr. Wlil isid th# ganllsiuati I'tW* Maiua
sung tha old tun*. Whenever chargee were made
against the Hnuie or the Executive, proof was
demanded in ad.ance of any invealigaiion.
Mr. DLOMGOOL moved to amend the ref
lation so as to require the investigation to be
made at the bar of the (louse.
Mr. LOOMIS moved to amend tho resolution
so as to require “the Spy," Mathew L. Davis, to
be brought to the bar of the House, to answer
any question in regard to the subject matter of
the charge, and the source of his information.
Mr. IVY moved to lay the whole subject on
the table.
Mr. WISE asked for the yeas and nays, and
they were yeas 179, nays 14.
Bo tho House refused to lay the motion on the
table.
Mr. WISE mod Tied his resolution so as to re
quire the Speaker to subpoena Mathew L. Davis,
and to ask him,at the bar of the House, what he
knows as to the member implicated, and as the
facta charged.
On motion of Mr. HIVES tho words "if a
member of this House” were inserted after the
word implicated. After some remarks from Mr.
Torcey, and a rejection of a motion of Mr.
Thotni. to adjourn, Mr. Underwood moved to
amend tho resolution by substituting fur it the
original resolution of the gentlemen from Vir
ginia, Mr. Wise.
Mr. CUSHMAN moved the previous question,
which was not sustained, the vote being 83
to 85.
A motion was then made to adjourn, and lost.
Mr. WISE moved to strike out the words—
“if a member of this House,”
Mr. UNDERWOOD modified bis resolution
so is to omit the above words. Mr, Haynes
moved to reinsert them. Mr. Mercer said in
case the facts allcdgod were proved to be true in
regard to the member of another house, it would
be the parliamentary duty of this Mouse to report
the fact to the other House. Messrs. Drom
goolc and Haynes differed from the gentleman
from Virginia as to his construction of the par
liamentary law.
Mr. TORCEY said- he was naw convinced
from tho manner in which the question was
pressed by the gentlemen who knew the name
of the member charged, that the individual was
a Senator, and not a member of this Haase. He
protested against the institution of a proceeding
against a member of the Senate. There was
no doubt it was a Senator that was charged.
Mr. WISE said that the gentleman had no
, authority from him for suggesting that itwssa
Senator. It might turn out that there wera
members o> both houses implicated. Mr. Un
derwood moved for an adjournment which was
agreed to.
The Senate was chiefly occupied with the
, Sub-Treasury bill. Mr. Niles spoke in favor of
. the bill till half past 3 o’clock, when on motion
he gave way, and the Senate went into executive
business; after which action was had on sundry
private bills and the Senate adjourned. M.

The following article Irom lire Constitu '*onal
is! in reference to the successful operations
the Habersham Iron Works, contains much in
formation of interest to all the friends of domestic
manufacture. We are acquainted with the sec
tion of county iti which these work* are located
and with moat of the member* of the company
and from a knowledge of the immense natural
advantage possessed by them in water power,
ores, «Scc., added to their perseverance and indus
try, we do not hesitate to express our belief that
it will be not only one of the most profitable but
one ol the most useful investments in tho State.
“We are informed that the Habersham Iron
Works & Manufacturing Co. have just declared a
semi-annual dividend ofeleven dollars per share of
one hundred dollars. This company was chartered
at (he last legislative session, with the usual
privileges granted to such associations. We ate
happy to perceive such evidence of the value of
our heretofore unexplored internal resources, and
hope that the company will hot only carry out
their extensive design, but also continue to real
iie profits they so justly deserve. Pioneers in
any undertaking must necessarily incur the risks
attendant on experiment, and should therefore be
entitled to larger returns than those who are con
tent to follow the footsteps oi their predecessors.
The company own decidedly the best water pow
er in the State, besides iton ore, timber, limestone,
and every other material required for carrying on
extensive manufacturing operation*. The work*
are situated about three mile* from Clarksville,
in Habersham county, and are highly spoken of
by ill who have visited them.”
At our last Superior Court, two females and
one male, were indicted and tried for vagrancy,
found guilty, and sentenced by the court to 3
years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
It appeared that these two poor deprav d
creatures had been in the habit ofstroling about
the streets of Augusta, frequently intoxicated,
and acting in many unbecoming ways, and the
city council ordered the city marshals to have
them arrested and prosecuted, and we lake great
pleasure in commending this act and promptness
in our city authorities, and hope it may prove a
less m to others.

Sun Treasury— Practical Illustra
tion. — I’lic Madisonian gives the following
illustration of the carrying out of the system
recommended by Mr. Van Burcn, in hta late
messages;—
“The late Mr. Simpson. President of the
Commonwealth Zlank of Boston, was a Uni
ted States Pei.Sion Agent. Those Agents
are rtqmred to give bonds with penalties fix
ed hy the discretion of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. Simpson’s bonds are stated
jto have been in the sum. of 3300,000. Wc
understand that the Pension Fund in his pos
session at the time of his death, was $lOO,-
000 The papers have slated that his affairs
were much involved in the failure of the
Commonwealth Bank, and that h s estate is
indebted to that Bank about $300,000. As
United States claims have preference, it is
possible that the Government will ultimately
lose nothing. But if the statement we have
made be true, (and the (acts will appear in
the report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
now nearly ready.) it presents a very forcible
practical argument against the policy of em
ploying individual agents as the keepers of
the public money.”
Education or Females.— Since there is
a season when the youthful must cease to be
young, and the beautiful to excite admiration;
to learn to grow old gracefully, is, perhaps,
one of the rarest and most valmible arts that
can be taught to women. And it must be
conft ssed, it is a most severe (rifil for those
women to lay down beauty, who have noth
ing else to take up. liis for this sober sea
son of life, that education should lay up its
rich resources. However disregarded they
may have been, they will be wanted now.
When admirers fall away and llalteters be
come mute, the mind w.Il Le driver* to retire
into itsclt, and if it find no entertainment at
borne, it will be driven back again upon the
world with increasing force. Vet forgetting
this, do we not seem to educate our daughters
exclusively (or the period of youth. Do we
not educate them for a crowd end not for
themselves ? for show and not use, for time
and not for eternity.— M r s More,
Guessing used to be considered exclusively
a Yankee privilege, hut it seems lhe Long Is
landers consider themselves pnviledged to
guess also. A tavern keeper on that Island
advertises a fat hog to be guessed for at one
dollar a guess—the person guessing nearest
the weight ol the animal to be entitled to it,
CamrßK Oil. —Tlia following item wr. cut
rom an Exchange paper, tor the benefit of
he lesser p irt of the body politic; and fur the
natter of that, the “ children of a larger
rrowth” may have no objections, to learning
tiow they can dispose of that agreeable sub*
stance castor oil, in more approved fashion
than at present.
Take the quantity afoil you purpose forth*
dose, and boil it for a few minutes in an equal
quantity of milk; then sweeten it with a little
sugar. When the mixture has cooled, stir it
well and give it to the child. There will be
no necessity of giving the child any thing to
drink after the mixture, lor the taste ot it is
more pleasant than any thing else you can
give-
