the vullgab prize. 9 I
In one of the loveliest village* of old Vir
r-nta, there lived in the year 17!)-, an old
man, whose daughter wa* declared by univer
sal consent to he the loveliest maiden in all
the country found. The veteran, in hi* youth, I
had been athletic and muscular above al! hie '
fellows; and his breast, where ho always wore J
them, could show the adornment <>f three me
dais received for Ins victories in gymnastic |
teats when a young man. Hi* daughter
was now eighteen, and hud bc-n sought in
marriage by many suitors. Ono brought
wealth—another a fine per.-on—another tins
end another that. But they were nil refused
by the old man. who became al las' a by word
for bis obstinacy among the young men ol
the village and neighborhood.
At length the nineteenth birth day of An
nette, hit charming daughter, who was e* a
(■liable and modest as she was beautiful, arriv
ed. The morning of lhai day her father in- j
vited all iho you h ol the country to a hay
making frolic. Seventeen handsome and in
dustrious young men assembled. They came
not only to make hay, tint also to make love
to the fair Annette. In three hour* they had
filled the father’s harn w Hi the newly dried
grass, and their hearts with love. Annette,
by her thtlter's command, had now brought
the malt I quorol her own brewing, which she
presented to each enamored twain with her
own fair hand*.
•Now, n»y hoys,* as id the keeper of the
jewel they all coveted, a* leaning on their
p.tchforks. they assembled round the door in
the cool of the evening.‘Now, my lads, yon

The 'maidens left their loom* and quilling

mured youth in tho whole country, and all
k ie v that a strong/inn'inl attachment existed
between him and tho fair Annette. Carroll
had won the reputation of being the “host
leaper," and in a country where such athletic
achievciiieitl* wore the sine qua mot of a man's
cleverness, tins was no sin ill honor. In a

Tho arena allotted for this hymeniul con
test, was a level space in front of the village
inn, and ttesr the centre of s grass plait re

ted “the green." The verdure was quite

a similar kind, nud a hard surface of sand,

was to be used supplied its place.
The father of the lovely, blushing, and with
al happy prise, (for she knew well who would

were the judges appointed to decide upon the
claims ol the several competitors. The last
time Carroll tried hie skill in this place, ho

twenty-one feet and one inch.
Tho signal wa* given, mid by lot the young
men slopped into (he arena.
“Edward Grayson, seventeen feel," cr'od
ono of the judge*. The youth hod done his

Rut what had intellect to do in such an arena?

“Dick Buulden, nineteen feet.” Dick with
a laugh l urn ml away, and replaced Ins coat.
“Harry Preston, nineteen feel and three in

"Well done .harry Prarton,” shunted the

The young officer g'an'-ed upon the tremb- 1 >1

i Harry, who sli-od near with a troubled brow j i

The old man approached, and grasping hi*

That evening, at the table, Annette, now

We generally find that the be*t way to convict
our adversaries of their inconsistencies and want
of political principle, ia 10 give their confession* in ,
their own language. The Constitutionalist of
this morning, in excusing it* party for the defea 1
of Ingersoll in Philadelphia, says;—
“Rut unfortunately fur the whigs oj Phila
delphia, Hut victory it no victory at all-, for Ihe
triumph ie really on Ihe eide of the rlemtcralt,
who, with a candidate who had Ihe odioue name
uftory attached to him, came within 231 volet
of electing him. * * * * *
The charge could not he denied, became hit own
name win attached to the acknowledgment.that,
in the revolutionary contest for independence,
he would have been a lory, li'e hi ml confett
that inch an acknowledgment should consign
any citizen to obscurity, who uppenh to the fa
von of ihe American people. And we have not
a single doubt, that Mr. Ingersoll lost his election
by this avowal, though made in 1807.”
Now put this and that together, and what do
, they make! It is an unblushing boast that Ihe
Van Huron party—the good democrats of the
land—came within 231 vole* of electing a man
who publicly avows that hi* heart wtt wiih the
lories of the revolution, and that his hand would
fiavc taken their part, had lit) been old etlß'jgh to
have engaged in the struggle! The Constitution;
slist claims it as a triumph, that its party could
almost elett a manWhosb loryism.il subsequently
confesses, for the purpose of excusing ill defeat,
should consign him to obscurity! “Oh shame
where it thy blush!” Political hypocrisy, thou
masked demon) thus we tear off the veil and ex
pose thy hideous face to the public gaze!
But Ingersoll lost notone vole of his parly, by
hie toryisin, and waa not, as the Constitutions
iist asserts, defeated on that account. Last year
Harper the Van Uurcn candidate was elected over
Naylor the present successful tandidalc.hy a ma
jority of 93 volejj and by reference to a compari
son of Harper's poll then and Ingeisoll’s now; It
will be seen that the latter dbtained more votes
than the former, proving clearly that hi* toryisin

DEATH'OF NAV’HANIEL MACON.
The Constitutionalist o. ( ‘hi* morning contains
the following extract from ti,® RHcigh Standard
of July 3(a paper with wh : eh we do not ex
change j in relation to tho doath us ‘hi* venerable
and patriotic man. He was one of the purst men
of who it our county cm bi art —
“We observe, with deep regret,tiie announce
ment of the death of this distinguished and pa
triotic citizen, in the Warrenton Reporter of the
Ist just. Ho expired on Ihe 2~'h of Juiio, in the
33d year of bis age. This mclu.'iclmly iulclli
icnce came 100 late to allow us to iMtit ll.e cos
tume ot our paper to the occasion, anu ia p l '”*
fished in only a part of the impression iff this
week.”
[con muni cat sir.] I
lam not a little surprised that no precautions
have as yet been taken to prevent accidents on
he roads which intcisert the Rail Road in Ihe
vicinity of Augusta. Tho Irequent passage of
carriages to and from the Southern ponion of the
Sand-Hills across the RaibßouJ, must rendet
accidents inevitable. Indeed, it is a matter of as
tonishment, that they have not already occurred. (
The ditches on cither side of (he road render it im- 1
possible for the horses to bo turned, even if the 1
ear* could be heard sufficiently early, and theic |
are very few horses that would nm start at the ,
sight of tho approaching engine. I would res- ;
pectfully call the attention of the engineer or of i
the managers o( the Rail Road, to the propriety ’
of adopting Ihe mode I perceive instituted on the j
Mississippi steam boata ; I mean tho construe- I
lion afwhittlee, which would lie heard at the dis- 1
tsnea of a mile or two. Such an arrangement |
would give security to those travelling in the 5
neighborhood of the road, and I doubt not, would 'J
soon bo understood, even by cattle, as a warning ■
to get out of the way. Unless something of the
kind be done by which persons may bo made [
aware of tho approach of the cars, accidents of /
the moat appalling charactei cannot fail very soon li
to occur. It is therefore I would must earnest- :
ly urge action on the subject.

Mr, Guiou says his parly are the real victors J,'
in (he third congressional district of Pennsylva- I’

do very well. Though, aa I recommended once
before, it ought to have been marked ‘jest,” that
his patty might understand the cutting sarcasm. 1

ma Company.—A company has been recently
formed under the above title, for the purpose of
extending the operations of the valuable properly
hitherto known as “Stroup's Iron Foundry,”
and situated on the Souquee river, about three
miles frum Clarksvil.e. —The slock was rcadilv
taken up by gentlemen, whose enterprise and
discernment, cannot fail to render it highly pro
fitable.
With water power and natural advantages,
considered auperior to any in the stale, the estab
lishment is happily situated in the most delight
ful and salubrious climate of the southern coun
try, at the same lime that its proximity to the
route naturally indicated for a branch of the great
Western Rail Road, will always insure ready sale
for its productions. The iron ore is inexhasli
ble and of the richest kind, yielding, it is said,
two-thirds of its weight of pure metal. The
CaHings have been examined, and pronounced of
the first quality.—The establishment at present
includes the Foundry, Saw and Grist Mills, and
about 3 000 acres of well limbered land. The
company has in conlemplation, the addition to
the iron works of a rolling machine ami a nail
factory, also the erection of an extensive cotton
factory.
We rejdice that the spirit of internal improve
menl is abroad in our land, and we hail every ef
fort to develop the resources of our slate, as an
omen of belter times. We entertain no doubt
that the Habersham Iron Works and Manufactur
ing Company have embarked in an undertaking
that will be not only highly lucrative to them
selves, but also a great convenience to tbe upper
vec.ion oflliii state. — -Constitutionalist.

MONEY MARKET.
Monday, July 3.
We are in a singular and interesting condition.
Our foreign and domestic trade is slowly recover
ing itself from one of the greatest revulsions ■ f
modem times. Our currency, also, begins to de
velopc a new germ under the auspices of tbe Un
ited Stales Bank—a germ that may lead to the
restoration of specie payments and mercantile
health, before even Congress tan meet. To
particulars :
On Saturday, four foreign packet* sailed, carry
ing out, according to pi obable estimates, tbe fol
lowing amounts in payment of the foreign
debt
; Colton; $50,600
Ollier produce, 50,000
Foreign merchandize returned, 200,000
Specie, 150,000
$450,000
The exportation of specie has diminished sen
sibly, and the demand has ceased in Wall street.
On Saturday, city paper money rose to 9 per
cent discount, but tins appreciation is mote ami
, buted to a secret combination among tho bullion
brokers, who come into the market as buyers,
than 'oany other cause. It is probable, there fore;
that in a few days, previous to the sailing Bf the
next packets, the same confederacy will become
sellers and then raise Ihe price. Tho re-ship
ment of British and French goods is an extraor
dinary (act. The great depreciation in the price
of such merchandize, and the almost entire cessa
tion of auction sales of dry goods, have caused
importers to liquidate their foreign debts by re
turning tho goods themselves. This s ale of
things creates a depression also in the market for
American goods, and, in the end, it will cause a
great revulsion in Manchester and Birmingham.
Since the suspension of specie payments, it is es
| unrated that (be foreign debt has been liquidated
j io the following amounts
Specie exported to Europe, 6,000,000
Produce exported, 25,000,000
Returned merchandize, 2,000,000
$32,000,(100
To this we might
bankruptcies, which generally liquidate a foreign
debt as well as any thing else.
Tho cuitailinent of the foreig ' 1 hade is much
greater than the coasting or internal. At this mo
ment there arc vessels from twelve oVffcrcnt for
eign nations, all of which will have to in
ballast, & one half of our own sloping is la.’u' up.
It the American manufacturers are shrewd, ti.cy J
may avail tbomselvcsof the present state of things i
and turn it to their advantage—The imports of ti
foreign grain htvo ceased—ttte price of (lour, as d
will be seen, Iras advanced, since the lowest de
piession from SSJ to $1 but cotton remains a»
low as ever. Tbe rise it. bread stuff, is created
by local circumstances. The extreme ctnigra- i
lion to the Northwestern slates, has carried all I
the Hour and grain in western New York and f
Ohio after them, nstcad of coming here. Yet as r .
toon as lira harvest comes in, bread stuffs will fall, s
The crops are abundant, ®
