"Colonel, will you promise to aid

me quickly, quickly! for the pains of
hell get hold upon me. Say yes, Col

able night! Say, quick, Col: ;Gfa- S
ham, Mil you attend tb my request ?” :
I would have remonstrated. ’ldeas
• awain, and I promised what the div
ing man desired. While •he was rn- :
• ing as I have told von, hi: was sit
ting up in his bed. and his ryes eleam
«l fiercely around him, while' his few
white hairs stood erect 'upon his head. :
As he proclaimed the appearance ofi
tlie rabbit, again he-shrunk cowed and i
trembling into his bed and buried his
face in his bed-clothes while shh rabbit
gamboled across the foot Wf the bed 1
and disappeared. v
De Btirun asked, onhc the.
rabbit had disappeared, ' and v/hnn Pe
dro answered in the affirmative he be
came, as before, comparative! v cpimt.
But the greet drops of sweat which
stood upon his forehead, showed the
agony which was going oh in his r bos
om. He turned over on the side next
to. me and said :
-V muiderer s deatii-bed is a bed
of hell. Ail iooks dark and dreary.
Oh for one moment, only one moment
ot freedom from the .memory of.my
deeds of blood. Mot one ray of hope

- I ventured to suggest to the muiv

jiijeh blasphemies, and raving'as 1 dare
not repeat. Me then ednfinued, in

] whatever has tho sanction of-their name,-is sure to

the other hand, whatever they do not publish

of it is, Southern authors cannot get their produce.

The Whig- Party not Dead-
So say3 the National Intelligencer in its issue of
July Ist, in which it finds corroborative testimony
in the “able'’argumentative' protest of the Mobil,-.
Advertiser.” The recent course of the National
Intelligencer imposes upon that journal the , diffi
cult task of checking the dying throes, and infusing
new life and hopes in a political organkation
which if not already dead, has survived its proses"
feiou3, and remains a withered, distorted, invalid, so
accustomed to nauseous drugs, that its feeble vital
ity is preserved only in tho continued use of hurt
ful stimulants, affording temporay existence, the
sure procurement of ultimate disaster. The Intel,
ligeneer is vapidly shedding its old robes of Na
tionality. soon to appear fresh and sleek in anew
coil of Sectionalism and from its bitiijgs.on tho Ne
braska and Kansas, bill, we have tho wanting of
its rattle that its sting is death, its tongue enven
omed, bitter, merciless. Wo have no doubt it
would be more gratifying to have an occasional
Southern Journal, from extreme Sections, of its own
way of thinking, to' screen a too abrupt, inconsis
tency. .Vibes may boos service in protecting a
retreat from high and proud position to infuriated,
tree-soil strong-holds. Wo forbear ourselves, . and
would recommend the press generally, to •‘err on
virtue’s side,’ in impugning the motives of gentle
men of age,-of experience, and ability in a knowl
edge of public affairs, and'in its estimate of men to
adopt tho Scripture.guide of judging a" tree by its
fruits, in testing soundness.,-md purity.
Wo believe the Intelligencer Is Plowing the die- 1
fates of real-sentiment and that its. judgment* in
clination and sympathies are in favor of Slaverv re- |
strictioa' in its present limits, that its,opposition to I
fine repeal of the, Missouri Compromise is imjjjspen
, dent of agitation it begets or the supposed plighted
iaith it violates, If the Gom promise of ISJO was
intended to secure quiet to the country if has sig
nally failed. If it was intended to announce polit
cal inequality of one section against another.pt
has accomplished its designs. In fact the legisla
tion of this government subsequent to' tho early
days of its founders has been premature, vaseiluting I
and resembling temporary expediency. In ponse- I
quertco of which most of our leading men have, |
been on every side of every prominent measure, 1
platforms of parties distinguished for the facility of [
vajjed complexion, and Presidential promotion, a ■
game of chance in which bystanders are as apt to j
win as those who wager. Were Mr. Clay himself j
in life and power he would hardly attempt to re- j
vlve the American system, a National Bank, the;
abrogation of the veto power, the bankrupt law, &<-. ■
Unless wo profess the doctrine of transnbsfantiation, j
we cannot believe that the disguise of anew dress j
and protean shapes would give a pulsation of life j
to these measures. A. siuglo retrospective glance !
will satisfy any informed mind that bur legislation !
is hasty and repentance afflictive and mortifying. ‘
If the Missouri Compromise is entitled lo the j
credit of years and the suggestion of its repeal a j
stigma upon our age. by what right or authority do
you go behind it, and render ineffectual and null
the provisions of our Constitution in its guarantee
pf the restoration of Fugitive slaves? If you had
not leanqed to trample under loot, ami lay v iolent
hands upon‘tho Senior .instument, but allowed us
equality ol' rights and privileges, tho first compro
mise would not have been made, nor the last ne
cessary.
The agitation of the slavery question will uot
.cease by the adoption of. any expedient. The hos
tility of the Whig Tarty North, to the institution,
is avowed and unmistukeable. Tho House of Pcl-1
egates in Connecticut has passed a law nullifying j
tho fugitivo-slavo act, so far as applicable- to, that j
State, (we are ignorant of its fate in tho' other j
branch of .the legislature.) while Vermont in its
nomination of a Whig Candidate for Governor, has •
{>assed stringent resolutions against .the Nebiaska
bill.and urging its repeal.
• Tho Wlfig. State Convention qf Maine is reported
harmonious and enthusiastic. Very decided Anli
Nebraska Rcsolntibhs'wero adopted. It appears
that the Whig Party is not dead, but living in the
ombraeps of Kreesoil fellowship, Upon what pro-.
tene,es the Intelligeneer can lay claim to its Na
tionality we leave fur others to determine for them
selves,
'J'lie Northern State Conventions of this creed
'are adopting with enthusiasm.strong Anti-Nebras
ka Resolutions.. Tho jsq,uthoi'n Whigs in 'Cougress
and at home, are equally unanimous in favor of tho
measure,'and we predict that no Convention South
of Mason & Dixon's lino will fntrodneo' siifiilar res
olutions to those of tho Northern-Whig Party, and
yet thp. Tntelligeucgr, will have it dluh a Nifyional
Whig organization still exists. This opinion will
apoibgisoipr thefrcesoil fenfletieiefe of that journal
without convincing anybody of the utter, absurdity
of such a thought. .Not while the Scriptural an-’
j m.niciation ye cannot serve Gog and Mammon
standq a verity (which will remain jilllleaven and
earth prtsa awny,) c;\n a Union be liiainlaim'd be
tween such antagonistic elements,
u Wo regret to_ see . the Intelligeneer shaping it*
course against the institutions of the fckmtli, though
wo feel indebted .to tho; over wrought Teal of
j Southern’ mob in, their indictments against this pa
per tin* its present .position. ‘J ITNl T N i I AS.”

as far as the junction with-tile Camden Road,—
: Having a large number of passengers and a largo
northern mail, we were detained here some time in
making the necessary changes. But the detention
was not tiresome. The Revolutionary incidents as
sociated with this region are enough to employ
tie thoughts of a traveller for hours. As I looked
over the fields .towards Uamden. my mind was

vious to our arrival .we had notice and sultry air, j
and the darkened horizon, bid we bad no idea of ;

“The sky grew darker. Soon came booming on |

loud thunder began to roll away m the distance — J
the lightning grew less and less vivid until the elu-
Inents. lulled to repose seemed to . be sleeping in
perfect trauquilty. Hurried arrangements are now
made, to 'get the passengers, and, their baggage
"across the River, .and as I sat upon my carpet bag
in the bottom of the boat, in this stilly hourot the

ing tho stars as they peeped out from behind the

Tlio stilly hour, when storms are gone. ”
Tho whistle-of the Engine announced the depar
ture of the train, and again at a rapid rate wo are
moving towards the borders ot " Old Rip A an

peeping from the - Fast, the train halted on the' \
western bank of Cape Fear River. Upon its j
placid bosom lay a beautiful Steamboat, and strangw j
to say, upon this Zephyr, as she was called, wo
were transported down the River, a mile, to the

gaze of each passenger was fixed upon tlio dilapi- !
