| From Ijvitft Ihi i The Umiirranths Daughter. UT Mil*. 1.. 11. HinoiniNKT. “The way is long,” the father said, While through the western wild ho spoil, With eager searching eye; “Cheer ye, my babes,” the mother cried, And drew them closer to her tide, At frown’d tho evening sky. Just then, within the thickest rude, A log rear'd cabin’s roof they view'd, And its low timber blest; On the rough floor their simple bed. In basic and weariness they spread, And laid them down to rest. On leathern bingo the door.- were hung, Undock’d with glass tho windows swung, The smoko wreath stain’d the wall; And hero they found their only home, Who once had ruled the spacious dome, And paced the pictured hull. But hearts with pure affections warm, Unmurmuring at the adverse storm, Did in that cell abide; And there the wife her husband cheered, Ami there her littlo ones she reared,j And tlu ie, in hope, she died. Still, the lone man his toil pursued, While ’nealh his roof so low and rude, A gentle daughter rose, As peering through some rifted rock, And blooming on a broken stock, The blushing sweet briar grows. Willi tireless hand the hoard she spread, Tho Holy Hook at evening read, Ami when with serious air, lie saw her bend so sweetly mild, To lull to sleep tho moaning child, He blessed her in his prayer. But stern disease his footstep staid. And down the woodman’s axu he laid, Tho fever flame was high; . No more the forest feared his stroke, Jlo fell, ns falls the rugged oak Beneath the whirlwind's eye. 11 is youngest girl, his fondest pride, His baby, when the mother died, How desolate she stands— While gazing on his death struck rye, 11 is kneeling sons with anguish cry, And clasp his clenching hands. Who hastes his throbbing head to hold 1 Who hows to eliafo his temples cold! In hqeuty’s opening prime!— That blessed daughter, meek of heart, Who, for his sake, a matron’s part Had borne before her time. That grasp, that groan—'tiso’er, ’lis o’er, The manly breast imisl heave no inure, That heart no longer [line, Oh, Thou, whu fccd’sl tho raven’s nest, Confirm to them the promise blest, “Tho fatherless arc mine.” Belief in the Deity, iiv sin waltub scovrj Thoro is nothing more awful than to attempt to cast n glance among tho clouds and mist which liido tho broken extremity of tlie cele brated bridge of Mir/.a. Vet, when every day brings us nighor that termination, one would almost think our views should become clearer. Alas! it is not so; there is n curtain to bo withdrawn, a veil to ho rent, before wo shall see things as they really arc. There nro few, 1 trust, who disbelieve the existence of a Cod ; nay, 1 doubt if, at all limns, and in all moods, any single individual over adopted that hideous creed, though some have professed it. In the belief of a Deity, that ol the immortality of the soul and of tho state ol future rewards and punishments, is indissolubly linked. ]\!®.o wo are not to know of; hut neither nro we prohibited from all attempts, however vain,to pierce tho solmon, sacred gloom. Timex, prosslons used in scripture are, doubtless met aphorical, for penal (ires and heavenly melody nro only applicable to beings endowed with corporeal senses; and, at least till the period of the resurrection, the spirits of men whether, entering into the perfection of the just, or 1 commuted to tho regions cd punishment, are 1 not connected with bodies. Neither is it to 1 supposed that tho glorified bodies which 1 snail arise in tho Just day, will be capable of ’ the same gross indulgences with which ours 1 nro now solaced.

Wo would 1 then tied reality in Milton's sublime machinery ! of the guardatn saints, of genii of kingdoms. Nay, we would approach to the catholic idea 1 of tho employment of saints, though without j approaching tlie absurdity of saint worship, . which degrades their religion. There would , be, we must suppose, in these employments, difficulties to overcome and exertions to be made, lor all which tho celestical beings em ployed would havocertain appropriate powers. ! cannot help owning, that a life of active be nevolence is more consistent with my ideas, than an eternity of music.

The British Parliament is again in session hut its proceedings are chiefly confined to local matters The coronation of the Queen is postponed to the 28th Juno, and it appears definitively settled, that this ceremony is to he conducted on the reduced scale ol expendi ture ahaerved at the coronation of William IV —reduced at least in comparison with that which took place on tho coronation ol George IV.

From Spain the accounts nro of tho same un decided character that they have, been tor this long time past. It would appear that tho United Slates liank Agency in London puzzles extremely the writers of the city articles fur the London press.

The fooling among tho trading interest haw been gloomy for some weeks past, and thore appears to bo little chonco of ony improve ment for a considerable time lo come. Tho accounts this morning from the manufacturing district ore of the same discouraging tenden cy an for some time punt, ami it seems to ho admitted that tho spring demand is a decided failure. The most that can be looked lo is the little animation which the town trade may ex perience at the approaching coronation. Tho last accounts of the American markets and tho situation ol money affairs there leave no reasonable grounds for anticipating anything hut loss by shipments, the “ dry goods” stores being already futrclmrged with stocks, and sales only lo he affected at ruinous sacrifices, lit this condition of aflat re, many of the spin ners and manufacturers have begun lo rcduco the hours of labor in their manufactories, so on not lo increase stock of goods already in* conveniently heavy; yet notwithstanding this prices were giving way, and on each succeed ing market day those whoso necessities ohligo them lo make sales are compelled lo submit lo further reduction in prices. London, April 28. From tho last and best informed advices from I lie United Stales, it appears that tho ve ry extensive dealings in cotton for exportation to Europe by tho United Slates Bank, and others of tho Southern Stales, continued to create a very great deal of interest, inasmuch ns the operations of Biddle’s Leviathan, and ther banks who have followed in his wake, have seriously affected not only the mercantile in* (crests on the seaboard portion of tho Union, hut also those of the cotton planters them selves, which wo will presently explain with a view to show how inimical the monopolizing operations of tho Bank of the United Slates have been, since tho first great crisis, to the general interests of the commercial com munity. It appears that the principal operations in tho Southern Colton Market commenced in October, 18117. At. that period the United States Bunk, through its agents, went into the market, and began its operations in that staple at all tho principal southern ports. The entire break ing up of the cotton brokers in Mobile, New Or.enns and Natchez, opened a clear field for the bank. This movement on the part of tho United Slates Bank led the other banks into the field, and both classes of banks thus became rivals for the possession of the market. The rivalry was beneficial to the planters certainly out it led the United States Bank, as well as the Slate Banks, deeply into commercial op erations, and accordingly into great expan* eions of an irredeemable currency. Tho amount of these operations may bo estimated Irom tho aggregate exports ol the whola sea son, up to March 3d which arc as follow ; Exports of Cotton, beginning Oct. 1, 1837. From N. O. opto March, 3, 1838.

This arises from the operations of tho United Stales Dank and State Banka. The prices in Liverpool are loss this year than last; but the banks did not pay high prices. The fob lowing table, taken from a Liverpool paper, shows thus; Cotton and Prices at Liverpool, 1837—38. Imports, Halos. Prices.

If on Ibis fact wo estimate that for the whole south and south west, wo may very reasonably pul the nggiegale advances ol all flic stale bonks at five millions of dollars, if not more. The mode in which these gigantic operations have been effected, and which have been tho. cause of establishing a non descript sort of agen cy in this country, as well as the introduction of an amazing, and by no means secondary amount of I Tilted -Slates paper of nil descriptions, as com, pared with the amount introduced previous to tho failure of the large American linns in 1836—7, may bo traced in its foundation to the advantages which the derangement of the internal exchan ges in the first instance gave to the United Slates Bank, and which, under live keen management of Mr. Uiddle, has been followed up with doubtless much advantage lo the proprietors of lhat insUlu tion, although attended with much'injury to the mercantile community, which that Hank proffers to support. Tho plan adopted by Mr. Biddle was this:—the southern exchanges were, and have been to (Ins time, depreciated from 10 to 30 per rent pretn.; taking advantage of this most unequal value of the represent alive of money in die different Stales, the I'. S. Bank bought up all the southern Banks at the discount to which wo have referred, and sent agents to purchase cottons in the south, width powerful operation has enabled them to ship large amounts of cotton to this country with a certain profit; which aero nits in some degree for the continued embarrassments of the United t-kate* merchants, for the decline in cottons here, 1 and the great influx (A bills upou Mr. Jaudoo, their agent here. Lost nos, May 1. Another party hs» appeared in the controversy respecting Mr. Biddle's Bank; which is under, a stood to speak the sentiments of the Hank parlour i on the subject. The internal cvidenco indeed 1 leaves little doubt of the matter at least being J derived from that quarter. The tone assumed is - partly that of attack and partly that of defence ol 1 Mr. Diddle. He is praised, for example, for his a issues of bills, because they have done a great deal Y towards “the liquidation of the largo amount oi f debt due from the merchants in America to their t correspondents in England,” but his “traffic in r cotton,” wo are told, is “quite another question,” . and now that “things are coming round again,” it ' is desirable that he should bring it to a closo, a« x it deprives the merchants of their commissions, uml “.nfluenccs the exchanges in a manner not i to ha desired, by keeping up prices above their 3 proper level in the different marko's of Europe.” s The further remark on this part of tho subject , is, that tho “U. S. Dank will, it is supposed, ] realize large profits out of the cotton purchases they have made up to thii moment, but it doso - not follow that they will alway be equally for s lunate.” Some anxiety is, very needlessly, shown to rebut the supposition that tho refusal to open c an account with Mr. Jaudon at the Dank arose s from “any doubt of tho solidity and safety of the r United States Bank, tho real motives for which, s sis wo tire now told woro “because it would have - been contrary to the usage of the establishment: - or, inimical to thoso whose interests they feel i bound to protect—namely, tho trading classes of i the community.” As a further argument to Mr. . D. to withdraw from Iris cotton speculations he is told that the fate of three groat London houses s should operate as u caution to him. “Ho mu' j sec, from the example of those firms, how dan . gerous it is to enter upon too extended a sphere 3 of action.” , Brussels, April 25. j It is said that a largo ship, spposed an , American, was totally lost in the night of the 19th I between Heyct and Blankenborg, on the shoal called I’urdo Murkt. Several pieces of wreck, it is added, have been driven on shore, and bales of cotton and empty casks have been soon drifting . about at sea. As many American vessels with cotton, rice, Ac. are expected at Antwerp, it is to ’ bo feared that one of them has met with this sad > fate.

Editoii—l have just finished reading the presentments that wore made by the late Grand „ Jury of Burke county. Among other matters, I percicvc that “ the present unwieldy size of our - state legislature,” has not escaped their vigilance. - They slate, “that from so numerous a body, l- constituted as ono general assembly, neither wis -0 dom, justice, or moderation is to he expected; ana from the great sura which is drawn annually a from our treasury for its support, tho people rc » ceivc no adequate return.” I scarcely know how 0 to commence a comment on this presentment. In this instance, sir, I shall attempt to prescribe for a disease, a noxious, raging epidemic, without a 4 cause. Such malignity would retard a pre . sciiption from a Hypocrates, a Galen, or a Celsus. j The prime cause of this disease, if a cause does , exist, is a healthy one. They are mistaken ideas, t emanating from tho purest hearts. This is the s cause of tho present epidemic. Far drffierent is it from a dense savanna, which generates Ilia noxious efiluvia in defiance of man. Tho epi demic, w ithout a cause proper, is now raging in j the country, felt in imagination, for it is an im ■r aginary thing only. They arc perfectly convinced in their own mind, that they aro laboring with tho disease; and as they think they have the remedy, 1 they wish to apply it. Vs a citizen of tho county, and ono who thinks he can see the object that is desired by the jury, lie would bog to admonish them to bo cautious ' how they applied active remedies to a healthy constitution. Your remedies may cstahlisha dis ease, they may corrode the vitals, and destroy the constitution of the patient. lam suro their mo i lives are sincere; I have too much respect for the r foreman and his colleagues, to think, that either has 8 expressed more than he or they really felt. lam ■ suro they are sincere. Many other citizens of this county and throughout the slate aro impressed s with similar ideas. But the immortal Newton v erred, and so have wc all. All alike are subject - to mistaken impressions, with an intelligent n community, where light is, the truth will prevail, y With this impression, and the hope that this g effort on my part, will call forth remarks from t, others, I shall only attempt to show that our i- Legislature is not so numerous or unwieldy as some of our northern Stales are. In tho first instance I will compare the square miles of Georgia witlr those of other slates, and the numerical size of our legislature with that a of other states. Georgia has an area of 00,000 miles, she has] ninety Senators and 200 of . the House; Massachusetts has an area of 7,800 it square miles, forty Senators and six hundred ir members of the House; New Hampshire has . an area o( 9491 square miles, twelve Senators i. and 229 members of tho House; New York , has an area of 46885 square miles, thirty , two Senators and ono hundred and twenty eight members of tire House; Connecticut has an area of 4904 square miles, two hundred and ninety 1 one Senators and t.vo hundred and nine in tho * House. Georgia, with nearly seven limes as * much area as New Hampshire, has very few I more members in her legislature. Connecticut, II with only 4904 square miles, has two hundred * and nine members of the House; Massachusetts, with 4000 square miles less than Georgia, has 000 members in the House of Assembly. These - slates, I mean Massachusetts, Now Hampshire, and Connecticut, with a largo legislature, havo 0 glided through our seas of political trouble with s great safety and harmony. Tho legislature havo managed the rudder, havo navigated the ocean, * weathered the storm, steered clear of the reefs, ■ gone over tho breakers, and anchored in a good poit safely. Now lake a view of the political slalo of New York. Sea her, with an area of 3 41*000 square miles, 2000,000 of inhabitants, with 3 only thirty two Senators and ono hundred and twenty eight members of tho House; observe tho political commotion that always agitates this 1 state ; she is in a continual storm, her political canopy is always dark Tho winds blow fresh, tho sea runs high, the ship labors, tiro crew look melancholy—though tho helmsman is experii * enccd, the sails and timbers are good, tho sailors 13 active, yet all will not do, the storm is too great, 0 the ship is to bo run ashore; the underwriters demand if, and it is done; she is boarded and taken possession of by the wreckers ; those on hoard are glad to escape with life, and all else is j left in the rapacious hands of the wreckers. The people who had witnessed the horrors of the scene, •' as mere lookers on,” arc now destitute o 08 eboro, haring witnessed all the horror# ( the storm, tho treachery of the helmsman, and ra.no of the wrecker*. hi It is very well known to every individual, ae quainted with the politics of the different states, , that Mew Yoik has tenfold more commotion in her political spheres, than the other states. Who, ] acquainted with her laws, does not know that she has more chartered institutions than all tho states together? What is the cause of these chartered j monopolies? for they are monopolies—a char-H, tcred institution is a monopoly, and a monopoly i is a sub-monarchy. It is taking from mo my sacred rights, and placing them in tho hands of 1 others. To give a citizen or a company of gem - tlctnen a charter, is vesting in their hands power three fold beyond his relative means. Yes, sir, i and beyond this, a covert power, under the sane* lion of a charter which is dangerous in the ex treme, and which never was intended by the powers of the constitution. i I hope it will not be understood by my remark* that I am opposed to all chartered institutions— I am under the impression that it is expedient to have a national bank. The era has arrived when all rational persons ought to see the exigency for an institution of this kind. Cut New Yoik has made it expedient to bavo a multitude of char tered institutions. And bow are tbeso more readily obtained In the State of New York, than other Stales. Ido not hesitate in declaring that I believe they aro obtained in consequence of the small body that is to be operated on. Wo all know, that 128 indi* viduals arc more easily operated on, than 600. Therefore if a company of citizens in New York, ; associate their funds together, they send an agent on to Albany, the scat of government. And this agent, or agents exercises his influence on 1 the legislators, and there is no instance where their efforts have failed, to bo crowned with sue cess. Georgia has dearly felt tho effects of a re* duccd Legislature, look at tho immense section of country on tho South and South West of us f that was treacherously, yes fclloniously bartered away by her delegation. It was a melancholy circumstance that did occur, but it is a circum stance that cannot occur, while we have our “pre sent unwieldlv Legislature. If our present Legis. laluro had been there to have acted for us then, wo would now have 80,000 acres of fine land in our boundaries that wc have not. If our two hundred and sixty members in tho house make it unwieldy, what could bo expected from the Leo gislaturo of Massachusetts, with six hundred members. Massachusetts never groans under her burthen; She boasts of her numerous delega. tion, as the Sampson of her State. The Legis lature of Georgia may be unwieldy for tho want of talent. But lam yet to be convinced, if two hundred and sixty talented members aro unwieldy, I am well aware that our Legislature has not as much talent in it as could bo hoped for. But if \?e reduce it in numbers, wo cannot hope by this act, to increase its talent. For all who arc acquainted with the politics of Georgia, know that talent and popularity are most frequently in eompatables. If wo wish to purge our Legisla ture of its non talented members, wo must resort to other measures, than those prescribed by the late Grand Jury of Burke County. With the hope that this feeble effort may give a data for other t remarks. I remain yours, Jefeeuson. An Unpleasant Inmate. —The New York Sun says: We learn from the Mercer Luminary, that a few days since Mr Cozed, ofLaekawnock towship, being indisposed, took an emetic, which in the process of operation, discharged from his stomach a lizard eight inches long. The emetic, was taken in preserved fruit; and it is supposed that tho lizard partook of it rather freely, which caused its death, and subsequent removal from its lodging place. Some months since Mr. C. was induced to apply to a physician, on account of an unpleasant sensation in his stomach, caused no doubt by this intruder, which ho has now fortunately got rid of. The Yellow Spring at Sea.—A spring ' of fresh water boiling up out of the ocean, at a distance from land, is one ol tho most won derful phenornenas in nature.

Fire in the Woods.— The Old Colony Whig published at Taunton, says that Freetown woods took fire on Tuesday afternoon week, from a coalpit, and spread over about ten thousand acres (?) before it was arrested. Several hundred cords of wood, cut and seasoned, ready for market, wore destroyed. On tho following Wednesday a lire was acci dentally communicated to tho “dry fog” in a field, by a wad Irom a fowling piece, at Middle, boro’ Fout Corners, and after running over about i twelve acres of woodland, was checked by trench- 1 ing and kindling a counter tire.

The following among other extracts, I s published to show the strong claim which - T r. Blair has to be reputed “the son of*a ptiohet.” From the Globe of April 1834. “'the land offices will become respectable reserviors ot gold whence it will be distributed by the government disbursement through the military, the surveying and the Indian depart* menls ; and wo to the officer who having re. Ccived gold from the government shall pre* surn e or dare to to the soldiers o» c.tizens. Then a great stream will flow up the Mississippi from New Orleans, and diffuse itself all over the groat west. Nearly all the gold coinage of the New World will come to the United States ; for all the coinage es the new Governments of Mexico and South Am erica, being the coinage of rebel provinces cannot go to Old Spain or any of her depen dencies, and therefore will come to the U. S. as its natural and best market. This will fill the West with doubloons and half-joes, and in eight or rune months from this lime every sub stantial citizen will have a long silken purse, of fine open net work, thro’ the interstices of which the yellow gold will shine and glitter. The travellers will be free from the pestilence of ragged filthy and counterfeit notes.—Every substantial man and every substantial man’s wife and daughter will travel upon gold.— The satellites of the bank alone, to show their subjection to their liege monarch, will repine at tho loss of paper.” “Down East” Militia.— A Militia com pany in Gloucester, Mass., which used to mus ter one hundred, lately turned out to drill: present the captain, orderly and private—total 3. This statement put the editor of the De troit Morning Post in mind of an observation made by a mil ilia captain out that way, whoso entire company consisted of himself and ono solitary individual, who, wc presume, acted as lieutenant and ensign, carried the flag and whistled all the tunes to march by. The cap-, tain said he could got along with most of the i evolutions—but there was ono which he found *1 very difficult to execute—and that is, said he, “when I give tho word ot command for the rear rank to take distance is like parting soul from body.” COMMERCIAL.
