The people are liable to eat and driuk poieoDoua articles, because there are no stringent laws by Congress or the States to protect them. Our law-makers,*however tbsy may boast of their love of the people seem seldom to conoern themselves mneh about proteeting the great masses by legb lotion, from the arts of sharpers and swindlers, high and low. Laws are made to panfish conmoricUiua, ?ud the counterfeiter of { dollar may be sent to the peoetentiary for yaara, but thoae who adulterata and counterfeit food and drink are acldom or ever pnnifhed. The money counterfeiter may eheat some one out of a little money ; the ood and drink eounterfeitere cheat him out ol hie health and life. But who earea. It ie usually the poorer classes that euffer, and that ie getting to be the generality io ever/State ; the wealthy may import their winee and fine Vquora or pay enormoue prices for old bourbon, whllet the commonality may poison themselves and families on the common articles. Let no one say that It does not matter beeause the poor have never any business to drink or use spirttaor wine. It ! 1 rna norm have a riorht tc ktrnia It ar use it for drunkenness and dissipation, bnt it is largely used medicinally as a tonic by thousands of persons, and will b? while the world stands, and even if used nnnaceasarily by the common people, they ought not to be poisoned with it. Its destructive power is tenfold greater when adulterated, as it nearly always is with poisonous materials This was roeently shown by professor SiLLtMAH, of Uartford, who examined the common whiskey and wine retailed there, and we dare say there is plenty of the same kind in every State and community. It contained sulphuric acid and sugar of lead, both poi< sonoua and destructive to health and life, and the latter is peculiarly so, for it stays in the system when once taken, and does its work slowly and surely. "We think it more than probable that nine-tenths of the ao. called wine, used in the observance of the Lord's Supper by the Churches, is all poiaoned. The wine uaed in cooking generally is doubtless of the same sort. ine iiew ior* i im?? iiinuuiva mic inigc increase in the number of sudden deaths in that city and elsewhere, to the use of poisoned food and drink?poisoned not tor the mere purpose of hurting people, but to make money. Spurious tea is sold that is poisonous, and vinegar by the wholesale^ In the cities they suffer from unwholesome bread, counterfeit ground coffee; in fact, many articles of ordinary food are cheats. The remedy for nil this would be simple and effectual, if Congrets and the State Legislatures would undertake it. Congress has, by ita internal revenue system, taken special charge of liquors. Let it pass a law In nunieh nrl 1111 s?r?tinna IKav tra rlirpr.t frauds on the revenue as well as on the people ; make it a penitentiary offence ; authorize regular inspections of all liqnor houses, great and small, and destroy every thing that is adulterated is any unwholesome manner ; punish also those dealers that vend poisonous liquors, knowingly or ignorantly, graduating the punishment according to criminality, but let it be understood that every dealer sells such stuff at his peril, and our word for it they would take pains to tee that they are not imposed on nor their customers. The State Legislature should also pass severe taws on the same subject. Horrible Murder. Captain Thomas A. Holtzclaw was brutally murdered on Sunday evening last, not far from bis residence in this County, about seven miles east of this place. He was re tnrniog home from a neighbor's house after ortrx, accompanied uy nis wne. coma villain way laid the read and sprang upon him Euddenly and gave him a blow on the head with an axe, which crushed in the skull, producing instant death. He fell against his wife, who, in her terror, fled through the woods, and getting home, gave the alarm. Captain IIoltzclaw wae found to hare received a cut with the axe, which must hare been given after the fatal blow. No certain clue, as yet, is found as to who is the murderer, but a negro man, Andrew, has been arrested by Constable Motives, against who there are quite suspieious circumstances This is the most shocking occurrence that has taken place in Greenville for many years. Our County has been remarkably free from each bloody crimes. It is not known that Cspt. Hoitzclaw had aay enemy bearing him a grudge, nor hat he been known to give occasion for reTenge to any one. He wae a highly re. spectable and valuable citizen ; a peaceable farmer, with a young family growing around him. His loss to them is irrepars able and a tad one for the country. He wae a brave soldier hi the late war, and eommauded a battary of light artillery that was raised in this District. Since the war, has devoted himself to peaceful pursuits. Hon. T. J.

On Monday afternoon laet, the fine mare belonging to Mr. Hzxr M.

After two or three turns near the Conrt House, she again left main atreet, and had almost reached the livery stable, (where it is presumed she would have stopped of her own accord,) when some one very rashly struck her in the head with a stone, which felled her. It was thought at first that she had only fainted ; hut all efforts to revive her were unavailing, and she died in a minute or two. Thia fine animal was recently bought in Kentucky by Mr. Pkrbt, and waa not excelled in beauty and good qualities by anv animal in this vicinity, ana was much admired by all who saw her.

A Few Hints about Colors, for the Ladies; by Nat Philosophy. Mtttrt Editor*?As I ?co from your well fil led advertising columns, that the merchants, milliners, and mantua-makers are displaying so many tempting things before the ladies ; and, as colors seem to be all the fashion, it may not be amiss to throw out a few hints as to their selection, arrangement, and combination. It is not necessary to say anything here as to tho theory of colors, but simply to make a few practical observations doduced therefrom. If any ooo desires to look into the matter. they well find the subject fully treated in any work on Physics under the head of Light. Bolar light gives us seven primary or elementary colors, from which are produced a variety of shades, as we see all around us. Each of these primary colors has its complementary color, or tho one with which if ooinbined, it produces white light. Now it is found that harmony exists between a color and its complement, thus producing a pleasing effect upon the eye; as in music the same pleasing tffec1 is produced upon the car, by the combination of related sounds. If this be so, a little study of colors and their complementaries may enable many of your lady readers to exercise more taste in the art of pleasing. We know that all the ladies desire this art, not only in the arrangement of their own dresses, but in the bcanty of each one's pet flower-yard, or in ber floral presents. A few hints from Science, With a close observation of Nature, and practice, would soon enable any lady to produce that same pleasing effect upon the eye that -Prof. DeCamps and his charming pupils know so well how to produce upon the ear. We know bow grating to the oar are discordant sounds in music, and we also know how disagreeablo to the eye is the combination or dis? cordant colors. We at once prononnce such an arrangement as wanting in taste, a persis- j tance in which makes many persons ridiens ions. The buffoon takes advantage of this when he comes out, spotted and striped in al | the colors of the rainbow. The following is a list of the primary colors with their eonpiementaries ; a combination of wbioh we find produces the most pleasing effect upon the eye t Red has for its complementary, bluishgreen; yellow, indigo; orange, blue; green reddish-violet; blue, orange'-red; indigo, orange-yellow ; violet, yellow-green ; black. white; white, black. These coming together will generally produce a pleasing effect, whilst each a combination as red and orange, piDk and violet, would produce the contrary effect. When we remember that one color is greatly changed in appearance by anotbor in proximto it, we should be very careful to carry cut this principle of harmony. We can tell the complementary of a color by fixing the eyes intently for a short time on any particular color, when its complementary will appear as a ring around it; or the complementary will be see* on torning away the eye or closing it after the examination. Merchants and buyers should be careful on this aooount, as the eye, after being fixed intently for a time on one color, ia apt to ace the complementary of that oolor, and ia no longer capable of judging cor. rcetly. Relief for the eye ia obtained by examining a oolor the complementary of the original; tbua, after looking Intently at red *he eye ahould be relieved by green, before re turning to the red. Choice of colore for dreee baa something to do with complexion. Black give# paler to the countenance, at nee ita complementary ia white, whilat white prodecee the contrary effect* Black aleo makea the figure appear entailer' ana ia mna a an Kama araaa lor aio?t paraona whilst whit? baa tba opposite optical affaot.

Solid colors, though general!/ naat and stylish, do not wear ao wall as cloths of several oolors ; as tba fading and wearing of one portion presents too atrong a contrast with the parts lass worn, whilst stains ara mora readily perceptible to the aye. Combination of colors, on tblc account, if judiciously made, must look batter for a longer time. voa tub aaammLia bwtb armies. Gleanings.
