The Court was to meet on the next day. Dinner to the Convention. nF.GtJI.An TOASTS. 1. Our Country. —Our love for her begins at home but it does not end there. Hail Columbia. 2.

The “Dear People.”— Who has not obsorv ed the sickening (latte y with which the self-styled democracy court the people. From the county candidate to the Presidential dignitary, this prin., ciple holds sway. Just let a democratic candi date declare himself, and it’s all through the agen. cy of the “dear people and he stands “inspoti, sable to sarve ’em to the best of his compacity Let any public act he contemplated, and the dem agogue-democrat, however small the act may ho, whether it may be to elect a clerk or "sign the die ,” submits it to the “dear people” with a Jove like gravity. Now, what do these obsequious hows and fulsome flatteries amount to I To just what they desire; they don’t care for the confi' dence of intelligent men, because they know they cannot command it; their object is to gull the multitude; and how often and how well they succeed, an ill-governed country may answer. But higher up, as we have just remarked, in the Congressional chamber, ami in the Presidential chair, this principle holds a powerful ascendency ; and with none is it more dear than witli the dem. ocratic parly. Iftho deposites arc to ho removed, the banking system to be overthrown, the people’s voice is usurped with a profound bow ; if the pet banks are to he selected, with another bow, that voice is changed hy the people’s very humble servant, and the “banks arc the only efficient safe-guards of the public money and now, when political sagacity discovers that the President’s own hands are its safest depository, the tune is again changed ; and “divorce of hank and state” rings through the country !— N. Carolina Star. Pouch of the Rimes. —A grand procession of radicals, with colors flying and drums heating, passed through our streets this morning. It con sisted of a youth mounted on a cream colored steed, four gentlemen (of leisure, we presume! in a barouche, a mammoth porter bottle on "a platform, with four other gentlemen to keep it steady, a car load of musicians, a hickory tree placed horizontally upon axles, with a small troop of little hoys as locomotive spectators. As this elegant cavalcade passed our office, the youth at the bead thus addressed a drayman pursuing his business with patient industry : “C d d n your heart, get out of the way.” M uno disco omnes! — Phil. Nat. Gaz. Muuueii. —We understand that a man hy the name of Blackstone, and two of his children from North Carolina, were murdered in Pickens District, almost ten days since. Wc have learn ed hut few of the particulars, and are not sure they are correct. It is said that Blackstone and his two children were travelling in a carriage, driven by a negro hoy—that they passed a toll bridge towards night, and in a short time after wards two men on horseback enquired for him at the same bridge, and passed on. The next morning the negro re-crossed the bridge in the carriage, and was asked where the white persons were, when he answered that he was removing them to some place in the neighborhood, and had left them. In a short lime the two men mentioned above passed the bridge, hut in such t , >>rß m i——— ' -rwiinini u a hurry that no questions were asked them. In if the course of a few hours, tho bodies of Mr. , Glackstonc and his two children were discovered, having been murdered the night before. It was supposed that Mr. U. hud considerable money in r his possession. We have not been able to learn whether the I murderers have been arrested or not, hut shall probably receive an authentic statement of the horrid ailiiir in time for our next. — Greenville ! Mountaineer. John Jacob Aslor, of New York, is said to lie worth the trille of twenty five millions of dol lars—mote than twice tho sum left by Stephen Girard. This, at six per cent, would produce i one million five hundred thousand dollars u year —one hundred and twenty-live thousand a month; font thousand one hundred and thirty.three doU lars a day—one hundred and seventy three dol lars an hour—two dollars eighty-seven and a half cents a minute—and nearly five cents n second !

Wo heard, some weeks since, that considerable alarm has been excited on the south side of lied River, in Texas, in consequence of its being as. certained that the Mexican government was send ing emissaries among tho southwestern tribes, for the purpose of engaging them in a league to massacre or drive all the inhabitants from that section of'Tcxas, and that one of those emissaries (a Mexican officer) had been shot by a friendly Mexican, and his sword, epaulette, Journal, and other papers, with bis mule and trappings carried to tho nearest friendly post —all which informa tion together with a copy of the journal, had been scut to the commanding officer at Fort Towson ; hut vve felt some scruples about noticing the re port, until received in a more tangible shape. We now learn, however, by an officer of the army, di rect from Fort Gibson, that the same information and journal had been received by express, by Gen. Arhucklc, commanding that post, who considered it of so much importance, that lie immediately ordered two companies of dragoons, under the command of Captain Ttcnor, to Fort Towson, where they will act as circumstances may require. We also learn, by a gentleman from Hempstead county that several families residing south of Red River, have been so much alarmed by the report, that they have removed across the riser, into this state, and that considerable alarm still existed in most of the settlements south of the river. These reports, from being corroborated from so many diffident and respectable sources, leave us no room to doubt that a deep laid plan lias been formed by the Mexican government, to rid the Tcxian country of all its while inhabitants, by employing the neighboring Indian tribes to aid in driving them off, or massacreing them—the boun ty offered, being a division of all the country they may succeed in depopulating, together with the effects and properly of the inhabitants among the captors. Since tho above was written, we have been fa. voured with tho perusal of a letter fiom Ocn. Ar hucklc, addressed to the Governor of this State, together with a copy of the journal of the Mexican officers alluded to above, and two letters from Texas, one of which is from DAG Wright, (who translated the journal,) dated Lima, on Red River, 25 miles casl of the Kausso Washita, 2lsl Au gust last, and the other from M .1 W Green, writ ten about the same time—both detailing some of the operations of the hostile party, and their rea sons for apprehending a general war in that quar ter. Wo publish below the letter of Gon. Arbuckle, in which it will be seen that Capt. Collins, who has charge of the ordnance stores at this place, has been ordered to furnish such munitions ot war as may be required for the use of our mill ia. Our limits only permit us to make the follow ing extracts from the other letters : Mr. Wright says:—“There is, at this time, on the head waters of the Trinity, and west of it, and on the Sabine, Loth north and south, various tribes of ludians and Mexicans prepared for bat tle, and many arc now crossing, it is believed, to join the other tribes. Mexico has had her offi cers since May last in actual service, buying over the Indians both in Texas and the United States, and have succeeded. Numbers of Cherokees have passed across Red liver, and have formed a rendezvous at the Cherokee town on the Sabine. You may look for one blow to he struck, that will lay waste our country from Nacogdoches to Fori Gibson, unless an army bo in readiness on our frontier immediately.” The Mexican officer, he says, was killed by a young man whom he had employed as a ilot and interpreter. At the close of his letter, he adds a nolo to the following effect:— That he had just received a letter, in Spanish, from Gen. Fclisola, (the Commandant of the Mexican forces,) in which he orders his officers to offer the entire country to the Indians, and those who partake if. the war, and all goods, chat tels, &c. taken, to he held in reserve, and placed in deposile, to be equally distributed at the close of the war, that no time is to be lost in establish, ing posts to facilitate communications to him, to ; enable him to send double forces to the weakest points; to stop at nothing to make one general , rush, and to conclude the war at a blow, he does i not care in what way; and to receive the families . and children as hostages for the government to dispose of at the close of the war. i Mr. Green urges, in his letter, that every man t who can be mustered, lie despatched immediately i to the frontier, to meet the Indians. He says, i “we have direct information that Capt. Farmer 1 and thirty of his men have been killed on the ' Sabine, by the Indians, within the, last three days. Glandless’, Lewis’, and several other plantations have been sacked, and their places surrounded, 1 since Saturday, fry hostile Indians. The road is ' completely lined with wagons for the lower prairies.” I The journal of the Mexican officer is a brief memoranda of every day’s proceedings, from lire 1 26th May to the 12th August last, noting the 1 different tribes ho visited, their feelings, and dc ! cisions on his propositions for them to join him, &c.; and leaving no doubt of the errand he was ’ on, and tnat he found but little difficulty in per, 1 suading the Indians to accept his invitation to ! wage a war of extermination of tho people of 1 Tex a*. It docs not appear, from any of the papers, that there is any intention to commence hostili ties against the people of this State; but that ! would follow as a necessary consequence, if they > prove successful against the Tex i ans. Wo are 1 glad that General Arbuckle has acted with such promptitude, in despatching a portion of his command to Red River, where they may have it * in their power to render essential service in pro ' lecting that frontier from encroachment, and ' where, also, they may he employed in preventing any of the Indian tribes residing north of Red 1 River, from joining those south of that river, in : waging war on the citizens of Texas. We pre : surnc the Governor will take the necessary steps f for having our militia organized and in readiness I to march to the post of danger, in the event of their services being required; but our own im -1 prossion is, that they will not be required. The 1 plans of the Mexicans, vve think, have been de- / —a—— * ||a , n '„ ( ~~ ~~~~~~ ; i v l e, °f fe ; l ™'[ nos ,">an they intended, and when . they find the i'c.uans prepared for them wo , doubt not they will abandon their project’ and j withdraw, at least lor a time, within their own i limits. Heati Quaiitkos, s Second I) kot. W. Division, C I Fort Gibson, Sept, 5, 1838. S . To his Excellency, Sam. C. Roane, J ■ Acting Governor of .Arkansas J. Sin:—l herewith transmit for your informa tion, and that of the people of Arkansas, the enclosed journal of a Mexican officer, and two letters in relation to the war in Texas, which were forwarded to this post by the commanding o (fitter at Fort Towson. Intelligence was rcceiv cd, by this night’s mail, from Fort Jesup, which 1 Prows, beyond n| doubt, that a war has actually commenced in that country. This information is given, that the inhabitants of Arkansas may boon the alert, and ready for action; yet it is hoped that our frontier will be respected. Instructions have been given to Capt. Collins, the ordnance officer at Little Rock, to furnish you with such ordnance and ordnance stores as you may require, for the use of the militia of Arkansas, should it be necessary for the inhabi tants on the southern border of your State to embody for their defence, which will probably be required before a suitable regular force tan be assembled in that quarter. I am, sir, your obedient servant, M. ARBUCKLE, Bi’l. Brig. Gen. U. S. A. It has been of late much the fashion to laud the system of education established in Prussia ; hut, excellent ns that system may he, it is ques tionable whether, on the whole, the school estab lishments of Holland are not entitled to quite as much admiration. In the latter country infinite pains ore taken to enlighten the rising generation, a policy which we should be pleased to see more generally adopted on this side of the Atlantic. Nominally, we have schools, hut in too many instances, it is to he (eared, they exist only in name. Education is, unfortunately, 100 much regarded by (ho mass of mankind as a thing of secondary importance, when its interests arc brought into collision with matters of more pres, sing emergency. The farmer is too apt to think that the securing or pitching of his crop is of much greater consequence than leaching his children to read and write, and forgets that in proportion as their intelligence is cultivated so is their capability for enjoyment enhanced, ami their capacity for usefulness enlarged. The scarcity of labor in Ibis country is a serious oh stacle in the way of learning, as it furnishes a motive for withdrawing children from the school room, and placing them where their physical exertions will be more immediately profitable. One thing should not he lost si>hl of, which is, that education adds much more to future profit by enabling people to know hoio to work to advan tage than is lost at present from the mere want of bodily labor.— llalhmore American. We yesterday noticed one of Fanny Wright’s political lectures. It seems the “lady” had not fio orderly an audience upon a more recent occa sion. We regret that die opposers of her outrage ous doctrines should have permitted themselves to become imitators of the Loco Foco*. The following article gives a brief detail of the scenes of Sunday night. The levellers may learn from this, the consequences to which Iheir own conduct leads. They gagged men for an honest expres sion of their disapprobation of vile absurdities.— in return, they get a lesson upon toleration. — Richmond JVhiv. Fanny VVincur at Masonic Hail—On Sunday night Masonic Hall was nearly tilled with a mixed multitude of friends and foes to hear Fan ny Wright, the high priestess of infidelity, lec ture on her anti religious and political doctrines, ns she “understands them.” It was soon appa, rent, however, that she was not at home in her new lecture room, and that more opposers and reprobaters of her doctrine, than friends and sup porters of it, were present. She was soon as sailed wiih hisses, and after she had lectured for nearly an hour, a fight sprang up, and then another and another, until six sturdy fellows of antagonizing faith and fists, were pounding and bruising each other most magnificently. The combatants of this church helligcrant, were, how ever, soon arrested l-y assistant Alderman Crolius of the Clh ward, and Justice Taylor of the upper police, aided by some officers, and one fellow was sent to the watch house, hut soon after dischar ged. The fight over, the most strange and dis. cordant noises and hisses were uttered, with cries of put her out-put the old out—down with her, Ac. &c., accompanied with sundry ex pressions too indecent to mention—until the lec turer was compelled to retreat to her covert, and cease to clamor against religion, monopolies and hanks, and the lecture was consequently broken up. It was evident there was some disposition in some of the ruder portion of the assemblage, to use violence of a very degrading kind to tire lecturer, whose disciples were too few, (the wo men present included,) to protect their petticoaled divinity. (She was frightened, and had to rely upon the protection of Alderman Crolius and Justice Taylor, who led her out of the room and up the street, followed by nearly a thousand hoot ing after her. These gentlemen then placed her in a carriage and conducted her to her home in Canal street, unharmed. The scene in the Hall was most disgraceful. Those who do not wish to hear the lecturer should stay away.—JV, Y. Transcript.

Pimento on Alisficf..—This elegant pro - duction grows spontaneously, hut in more abundance in hilly situations near the sea, for ming extensive groves of most delicious fra grance. It is purely the child of nature, and mocks every attempt to improve its qualities. A pimento walk is procured by no other labor than appropriating apiece of woodland In the neighborhood ofa plantation already existing, i or in a country where the scattered trees are found in a native slate, the woods of which being fallen, the trees are suffered to remain on the grounfl till they become rotten and pci , ish. In the course of twelve months after the first season, abundance of young trees will be found growing vigorously in all parts of the land. —There is not in the vegetable world a more beautiful production than young pimen to. The trunk is smooth and glossy, free ■ from bark, and 15 to 20 feet high; its leaves arc of a dark green, like those of a bay tree, and form a beautiful contrast to its white exu berant (lowers, and the leaves are equally L■ I I »» i exuberant with the fruit. As to its prepara -1 tion for sale, the berries are always gathered green; for the admission of ripened fruit would considerably diminish the value of the com modity. They are gathered by the hand, spread on a terrace and exposed to the sun till they become of a reddish brown, and when dry are sent to market. A single tree has been known to yield 1 cwt of dried spice, or 150 pounds of raw fruit; but as good ctopsare only contingent, the value of the commodity is not so alluring as others, so that many plantations of pimento arc now exchanged for sugar in the West Indies. A Rainbow at Midnight. This peculiar ami sublime phenomenon was witnessed during u thunder storm in New Jersey a short time since. The editor of the Bridgeton Chronicle gives a most beautiful description of the grandeur of the scene, in which he says : “The whole western horri zon from south west to north east, was begirt with clouds piled on clouds like Pel ion on Os sa ; and the play of electricity from head, to head, was sublime in the extreme.” It is added— “ The Hashes followed each other in such rapid succession, ns scarcely to discover any interval. The cloud rose slowly—and we chose a favorable position and gaztd upon the grand and imposing spectacle with subdued reverence and delighted awe, until the eddying winds admonished us to seek shelter from the threatened tempest. The cloud, however, soon passed by, and with hut little rain though it fell in torrents nearly all around us. Alter the blast of wind was over, which was about II o’clock, we sallied forth again to look up on the scene —and what was our delight and astonishment to behold suspended upon the black curtail! of the west, a beautiful rainbow, caused by the moonbeams. The arch was entire and bore a perfect resemblance to the how of sunshine, except color—tins being a glistening while. It was remarked by a sci entific man present, that ho had never wit nessed the like before.” The Mind of Man. Who can chain the mind of man, or bid the imagination down from her lolly height?— When the body exhausted by labor sleeps to be refreshed, the mind, unwearied, except with earth, takes it fl glit into the land of spirits, and converses with the inhabitants of the un real world. Now it sweeps, like the blast of winter, over the lair face of the earth, chang. ing and moulding its surface, with childish sport, rearing palaces and temples, in the air, —anon, o’er the frozen surface of the North— above it wanders, pausing, and with fingers fantastical wreathing the flowers on the jut ting points ot the rude rocks, and twining the luxuriant vino over Hie sparkling tops ot the sungildcd glaziers. Ami now, when the face of'the ocean is troubled with the first hot breath of the coming tempest, it is on the deep—or with the spirits of the air, viewing the dread ful preparations of the gods to scourge, with the hurricane, the earth and waters. Now, seated with the god of tempest, in whose car are harnessed the black steeds of night, whose dusky manes flung athwart the sun, o’er sba -1 dows the earth, and makes the pale faced man ■ look paler. Now perched upon a cliff that ’ o'er looks the fight, it views with eyo serene, the strife of man. Now with unlimited ken, it pierces the veil of distance, and gazes with J rapture upon the glory and grandeur of the land of the saints, sees the bright spirits of the good floating like summer clouds around the throne of him who rules the tempest, and holds the water in the hollow of his ham). When the remembrance of departed friends, or some dear relative, whose Jove was prised above the goods of this earth, comes over the mind it sends it back among the scenes of our youth, and the friends of our early days, with a sad ness like the murmur of the forest when win. ter has stripped it of its leaves, and strewn them in anger upon the bosom of the earth Who would awake from such a dream, or doubt the realities of a life beyond the grave?

Let us then be chiefly anxious respecting the present that we may know how to profit best by it, and respecting the future only as it is connected with our in terests in another world. Behold the various exquisite scenes which open before our eyes as we proceed in onr walk. Look at this path which winds before ns till it is lost in shade. See how beautiful its borders are di versified with plants of every tint and every form. Mark how the light breaks in from above, and bow it trembles among the leaves. Listen to the note of the wood pigeon, the distant lowing of the cattle, and the bark of the watch dog.—How beautiful is tins scene and its attendant circumstances! Yet all the earth is changeab'o. The yel low tints of autumn have already begun to discolor the leaves: the winds will speedily lay those loaves in the dust, and the whole face of nature will soon be veiled in the snowy mantle of winter. All these circumstances, therefore, all those changes, even to the fall ing of a leaf, ought to be received hy us as so many warnings not to rest, in present scenes, but to press forward to those which are eter nal. And alllio’ there is nothing in this sen timent which has not been repeated a thousand times, yet f believe it cannot be too often re pealed or too deeply felt. The Pirate and the Dove.—The fol lowing interesting fact is related by Audubon in his Ornithological Biography. In speaking of the Zenaida dove, he says—A man who was once a pirate assured me that several limes, while at certain wells dug in the burn, ing, shelly sands of a well known key, which must be hero nameless, the soft and melon ■ choly cry of the doves awoke in his breast feelings which had long slumbered, melted bis heart to repentance, and caused him to linger at the spot in a slate of mind which ho only who compares the wretchedness of guilt within him with the happiness of former in nocence, can truly feel. He said ho never left the place without increased fears of futu rity, associated ns he was, although I believe by force, with a hand of the most desperate villains that ever annoyed the navigation of the Florida coast. Ho deeply moved was he by notes of any bird, and especially by those of a dove, the only soothing sounds ho ever heard during his life of horrors, that through these plantive notes and them alone, ho was induced to escape from his vessel, abandon his turbulent companions, and return to a fa mily deploring his absence. After paying a parting visit to those wells, and listening once more to the cooings of the Zcnaida dove, he | iccKiy.j— vol. lI—No. 198. 111 mm—mmmmSi poured out hie soul in supplicution for mercy* and once more became what one has said to b<'. ‘the noblest work of rjod.’ an honest man. His escape was effected amidst difficulties and dangers; but no danger seemed to him to be comparable with the danger of one liv ing in the violation of human and divine laws/ and now he lives in ponce in the midst ot his friends. The editor of the Wheeling times has (ho following just and feeling remarks upon the subject of newspaper publishing, winch cer tainly has ‘more truth than poetry.’ “ 1 hero is a mania lor publishing newspa pers in this world of ours, that is more fatal than the small pox, the cholera or the yellow fever.—Ninety in a hundred meet their de struction in it; yet ns fast as one dies another takes his place, gets innoculated with the wri ting fever, thinks ot gold and glory, turns newspaper publisher, drags on a worthless life, ha f ted, half clothed, toilsiday and night, heart, sick, and weary; the public slave, yet wielding an engine which properly restricted/ would move the world, or make its inhabitants tremble. “The press cannot be (roc or useful while it is trammelled with poverty and dogged with duns. So situated, it will, it must he, at the berk of every vvhiper-snapper who lias money to keep the printer’s soul and body together. This Slate ot tilings will not do. We move that the printers of the United Slates divide off in halves, and jess, to see which shall go to’ digging ditches or pickingstone coal for a liv ing. It, would improve the condition ofboth halves mightily. Wo look upon every new paper that Is started, very much ns we do up on every new murder that is committed. We think there is another man lost to every thing that is useful, lost to himself, and lost to the world, and doomed to a purgatory from which 1 salt cannot save him. We think that the last days of that man will ho worst than the first— but all must live and learn. We have become n little hardened to the business, but if wet had life to go over again, we had rather adopt the trade of fishing for minnows with a pin 1 book, than that of publishing a paper in the United States.
