""if' odern Greeks displayed courage not unworthy of their foiefathers, their energy of character was made manifest, their perseverenco was unparallelled, though V eir land was drenched in blood, their fellow citizens were slaughtered without remorse, by mcreiless hoards of the Turks, though all Europe looked on for some time with disapprobation and even expressed their displeasure at the revolution, yet the Greeks maintained the unequal contest, resolved either to live freemen or perish. Never was the meanness the selfishness, the jealousy of monarchs more clearly displayed than those of Europe during this protracted and deadly strugglo of w? ?...a.- r... 1:1?t>i n >nc gni??a wi uvoik;. i ucy avuiueu nil interferenge, until Greece had almost consumated her independence, and until their commerce was to some extent injured by tho protracted warfare. They then, under pretence of restoring the Greeks to liberty, interfered, and dictated a peace injurious to her, restricting her territory within narrow bounds, and regardless alike, of the liberties and feelings of the noble Greeks who had fought and bled for liberty, they permitted them not to govern themselves as they might choose, but imposed upon them one of a monarchist form, and a yearly tribute to be paid to their former relentless oppressor, nor did they permit them to choose a sovereign from their own people, but selected a foreigner to rule over them. Such were tho tender mercies. such the deep feelings of sympathy^of the cold-hearted sovereigns of Europe towards a people bravely struggling for liberty. Yet it is to be hoped that despite of the plottings of despotism against liberty, that Greece will yet flourish, and that the banner of Republicanism will ere long wave over her, proud and triumphant. For their tomblcss heroes still guard the lands and rest upon the seas, and whenever with fair fates' freedem opposes force, and justice smites down armed frauds, then, O, souls of Grecian heroes, smile?appear on Grecian land. Jl. Death of Mr. Carwile. This venerable man died at his residence in this Town, on lost Monday evening, after a lingering illness of several months' duration, which he bore with uncomplaining resignation and with the Christian's hope of a happy immortality beyond the grave. He has been gathered to his fathers, as a ripe sheaf into the garner, full of years and of honors. At the close of a long life of usefulness, ho sleeps well, amid the benisons of his children and a wide circle of friends. In his life and in his dentil, ho "leavcth an inheritance to his children's children." Mr. Carwile was at one time Sheriff of Newberry District, and subsequently nss'stant Clerk of the Court of Common Picas. In all the relationr, of life, as bus band, father, friend and public official, he acquited himself fully of all his duties.? His intercourse with his fellow-men was characterized by a modest, yet firm demeanor, and his conversation marked by a rare discretion. The tears of the community, so long blessed with his Christian example, commingle with those of his bereaved family.?Ibid, Death of Major C. J. Crawford: It is with much pain we record the death of Major C. J. Crawford, as will bo seen ill our obituary column of this week's issue, who died at his residence, after an illness of some three or four days, lie had just passed through a very exciting canvass for the Senate, in which he bore his defeat with great equanimity of temper, notwithstanding the feebleness of his health during the campaign. In his death the District has lost a valuable citizen and the community a most estimable member. Marion Star. Benton's Modesty.?Now that Calhoun, Clay and Webster have gone from amongst us, Benton seems to hold himself as the representative of all that is great within the confederacy. In a speech delivered in Missouri, on the 30tn ult., he says: "Heretofore I have been a simple member of Congress, bound to act on the subjects only which concerned my State; and at liberty to "act upon national subjects as my judgment dictated; but now a task is assigned me, and an ex}>cctation excited, which I feel no ability to fulfill. There are disorders in the body politic which call for remedies; and in the national bercavment of our eminent public men, so long shining like fixed stars in our political firmament and now struck from their spheres the public expectation turns towards me.' Death of Xr. William S. Shell. It is with Drofound re<rret we record the demise of Mr. William 8. Shell, an enterprising young merchant of this touui.? ui?;u UwSiliiday last, of ter an illness of six days. Mr. Shell removed to this place about two years ago, and, in copartnership with an only brother, Mfltted in tho mercantile business.? In his amiable brother died of mdMMMd about two weeks after a sister resfning in the country died of tho same disease. Thus in a few months, three lUWUhem of a hfahly respected family have often cat down just as they were entering upon the duties and realities of life. During his short sojourn with us, Mr. Shall won for himself the esteem and fjce of his fellow townsmen by his ity, the modesty of his deportment irreproachable integrity.

Daniel Webster, the youngest son of Ebenezer and Abigail Webster, was born at Sulisbury, in New Hampshire, on the 18th of January, 1782, the last year of the Revolutionary War. lie was, therefore, aged seventy years, nine months, and six days, when lie died. In May, 1790, and in his 14th year, he was sent to the Exeter Academy, where lie remained onlv a few nion?li? In February, 1797, and in his 15tli year, he was sent to reside and study with the Rev. Samuel Hood, the minister of the neighboring town of Boseaweti, where, for his board and tuition, his father paid *1 per week. In the fall of the same year ho entered Dartmouth College. In 1801 he completed his college courto, and entered upon the study of law in the office of Mr. Thompson, a next door neighbor of his father, a respectable lawyer, and subsequently a Representative of New Hampshire in both Houses of Congross. Part of the year 1802 he spent in teaching an academy at Fryeburg, in Maine, on a salary of $1 a day, acting at the same time as assistant to the Register of Deeds for the county. In September, 1802, lie resumed his studies with Mr. Thompson, and remained with him 18 months. In July, 1804, he took up his residence in Boston, and pursued his studies with Christopher Gore.

Collections are now Iteing made hy others, and I am happy to find thitt iny reliance upon the honor of the memliem, is not likely to prove in vain, when 1 left my family and devoted aliout 12 months abroad in their service! Much interest exists to procure the report, which in reasonably to be exj?ected, after no much time and money has been ex {tended in the enterprise. The publication in the Richmond Whig 1 have not seen, llut of this I am well satisfied, as far as I iim able to judge that there is no oue who h.u approached tno in the information I acquired, nor could they, by any other plan than that I adopted after my arrival iu England.

It appeared a man named Martin, feeblt. and aged, was askod to sign some paper in consequence cf his profession of [wing a claimant, and he thought by this act it insured him a portion of the oatato. This report spread anion j his friends and neighborhood, and Anally was reported to a newsjwapor. I saw in London Sebastian S. Jennings. He has been there twice, and knows no more than you do, aud yet, 1 am told, Mane publications of his appeared in the Mobile paper*, after his return. I should like to see the publication you refer? to. That pa|*r does not re tch this place. There are, in England, and a mini Iter here, who are, ready to avail themselves of the interests existing in the Jenings family, to deprive them of their money ami lead them astray. Our association was formed, and an* agent appointed to investigate the subject ami discover the truth. He has steadily and fkarieealy pursued this object, ami discovered it I'liere is nothing that he will report but that which he ess pro*e, step by step ami cnaneuge contradiction from any aoun-e. John B. Price, yon may he aantivd, failed in liia object. I did n?>t aee him mynelf, hut Mr. Pariah did, f??r they l*>th came l?oni? tnjjrthrr. Neither Parish nor Price Mi twtlel in their iniMwon, I. am well convinced. The? no ilouk ac\>m jvliehed all they i<mlu, Init the ta?k la one all thing* ooaatderpd, of the moat difficult character. A man who lead* in the city of London, with it* millions of pimulitinti, find* him*t<f at aloaa to Ipow * hich way I to torn.ordinarily ia to lawyers at*l such polNo*M >t?i?I oilers hived I.ill* ^ freely, and bo tinvfc- fcMtoelf utlflf a muiiUi ?

Selmstaiu S. Jennings is a case ^ in )*>int, during Ii?h tir?t visit lie met wiilr a person of audi character.- He remittal! him after his return linine, ?150, about $7.50. Ho waainduced to re-visit England, and then was required to pay ?30 iroro' (* 1. 60) la-lore the iiifonuatioti ooui.l be' furnished him, That if proved of any importance when obtainetl, he entertain* strong doubt*, in which I warmly coin-' cideil. I mean, that it would prove kv have no bearing ujaai an elucidation f tho case, as it regards the family of Huni| lirey Jennings, nnd that of the intestate. The truth is all he could want or any other person, whether at resulted1 to his benefit or not. It is a falsehood < l._. l 1 - ~ r ? Hint men nave to rear, and wiucii leads i them into expenses ami astray. Now it really seems to mo person* take pleasure 1 in being thus deluded Sclwtnin designs S i third time visiting England. If lie should,imagine his expenses, his own are worth' the money of others, lie knows, for told him personally, and have since my return so written to him, that / have the information he skees and wants! So sure am I of this, that I niu ready at any momentto exhibit the documents, and swear to' the authenticity. All this, aye it ore, I possess, and so thoroughly liavo I inves-tigated the entire case, that I shall Ixr equally willing to swear to every important step 1 advance in my report. I am at times utterly amazed at tho apathy of the Chairman and some others. At one time great excitement, money raised and expended, an agent sent abroad, and now ho has returned, Eminently successful in. the object of his mission. Tho Chairman is silent, no action is taken, and the agent is forced injustice to tho memliersof tho association and himself to assume tho whole responsibility of tho publication ^ of his report, and perform the duties of Treasurer or Finance Committee, to collect funds to pay expenses and th" publication. Well, you, and ethers, I am sure, will assist in this purjrose. Perhaps you will write to all tho lending tnen known to you, recommending them to acquiesce in this arrangement, and remit funds to mo for the purposes named. I am truly yours, F. A. Jknninos. Rev.
