[CONTINUED FROM LAST WKEK.] HENRY MIDDLRTON. Tlio following sketch nnrd remembrances of Governor Middleton was published in tho 14 XIX ( Century," and as he was, for some j years, a citizen of Greenville, representing the District in tho State 1 Convention, I have thought propter to re-publish it among my 44Uemiu- 1 iscciicc3" or uroeiiviilo. I have ' already stated that Governor Mid dlcton was an early settler of the 1 District, owned large possessions ' here, and remained with us till his 1 mission to Russia : 1 Governor Middleton wn*hc6on 1 of Arthur Middleton, one of the 1 signers of the Declaration of Independence, and a lineal descen- 1 diint of Henry Middleton, Presi- 1 dent ot the convent inn wtiieli tliroio off I ho proprietary government in South Carolina, and adopted, in its 1 stead, the royal government of Great Britain, .lie was a small 1 hoy during the Revolutionary War, and accompanied his lather whilst attending the American 1 Congress in Philadelphia. In con sequence of the disturbances ol tho 1 Revolution, and iiis attendance on his father, lie said his early cduca- 1 tion Lad been neglected. His son ( in law, Mr. Fisher, of Philadelphia, thinks he luoant by this that he did not, like his elder brother, have the advantages of a collegiate course in England. - Mr. Fisher knows that he had a private tutor, and was thoroughly taught Latin. Greek, French and Italian. He travelled a great deal, whilst a young man, in Europe, and was in Fiance for some time during 1 the French Revolution. In the full of 1832, Governor Middleton was in Greenville with his family, lie had formerly resided lico before bis mission to Russia, and had disposed of his house and farm to Washington Earle.? Through my influence he was elected a member of the State C<>nven- 1 lion from Greenville, together with 1 myself. Colonel Brockman and Silas R. \V bitten, called in the fall of 1832, to nullify the tariff law of Congress. Before starting to the convention, and after we reached there, we were a good deal together, and I derived a great deal of valuable information from him, and was always delighted, as well as edified, by his conversations.? In my journal, I have made memoranda of sotno of theso conversations. lie amused mo ofton with his anecdotes and sketches of public men. In one of these conversatio s ho told ino that he then had in his possession a manuscript of his father which contained a speech of Mr. Madison, taken down in short-hand, advocating a treat}' with Great Britain, on the condition that she would acknovvl edge the independence of all the colonics north of the Carolinas.? The Carolinas and Georgia wero to remain British provinces. The resolution embodying this uroposition was introduced in the old | Congress by Mr. Madison himself. Many years afterwards, whilst Governor Middleton was a member of Congress, he mentioned the subject of tliisspeech to Mr. Mudi son and expressed his great surprise at it. Mr. Madison acknowledged having introduced the resolution and tnado tho speech, lie justified himself on the ground that the Carolinas and Georgia were at .that time conquered provinces, the country was overrun with British troops, and the loyal government restored. 1 liese colour a were considered entirely lost after Gates' defeat at Camden, and all reasonable hope ct recovering them was gone torevcr. An address had been presented to Lord Cornwal lis, signed by many of the most prominent citizens of Charleston, congratulating him on his victory and the final subjugation of the {>rovince. I do not remember to iavo seen this remarkable fact mentioned in the history of our country. The address to Lord Cor 11 wall it X had hoard of man* years before, bnt not the speech and resolution of Mr. Madison.?* Congress sat, at that time, with closed doors, and their secret proceedings were not known to the country. Governor Middleton told me a great deal about society in Europe and the etiquette of their oourts. In sneaking of the aristocracy of England, lie said tbero was no country in the world where the classes were kept more distinct tnnn they were in Great Britain. There was no association whatever between the ihigher and lower classes iu society. In this connection he mentioned several anecdotes of James Barbour, whilst American Minister at the Court of SL James. lie had greatly shacked the pride of the nobility by accepting an invitation troin Ark wright, a famous wealthy dentist in London, who had been employed Drotessionnllv in lii? lomil.. 1T~ t J ... UI? lulling) li U disgusted them, too, vory much by going to tho bar-room and calling for a mint julep. In his first interview with Lord Aberdeen, Governor Barbour was informed that it was not polite to address him as 14sir," but to say 44 My lord," or simply 44 ves"and ,4 no." He soon forgot his instructions, and in every sentence ho used tho forbidden word ,4sir," greatly to the an noyance ot his lordship. J nines and Philip Barbour, said Governor Middleton, were brothers and sons of a poor sheriff of one of the counties in Virginia. They deserved great credit for their success in lite. Whilst their father was sheriff they were his deputies. James was self educated, and as sistcd in tho education of Philip, lie was a vain man, and sometimes abused tho king's English in his speeches, which always read bet tcr than they were when delivered. The corrections were made by the reporters. Philip was a clover man, but an unpleasant speaker. 11 if was a good lawyer, unci uciimiieu in telling ot Iiis success at the bar. The brothers were both members of Congress under the administration of John Q. Adams, but of different poli tics. James said to Philip, one day, that be, Phil, bad a happy knack of always snuffing the popular breeze at a long distance, and was never caught in a minority.? Philip was a Jackson man, and James sustained the administration ot Adams. On my return from Washington, in 1816, I heard Senator Ilunter, of Virginia, tell of a speech James Barbour once made, whilst a candidate t r the Legislature, after his return from Europo. lie was opposed by a Jackson Democrat,whose name was Jack Davis.? Tho canvass waxed warm, and Barbour took the stump, lie saw that he was likely to be beaten, and told the people that he had come to a pretty pass. Atter being a member of Congress, United States Senator, Governor of tho Commonwealth, and Minister to the first court in Europe, I am now a candidate for a seat in the Legislature of Virginia, and am opposed by Jack Davis, whose highest recommendation is that ho can drink more liquor and play a better fiddle than any man iri the county ! The result of the election proved that Jack was a inoro popular man before the people than the ex-governor, senator aud embassador ! When about to Icavo St. Petersburg, Mr. Mi Idleton told mo he proposed selling to his successor, Mr. Randolph, of Roanoke, his fine coach and four beautiful horses.? Randolph replied, with indigna tion. "I am 110 Southern nabob, and will not sport such an equipage I" lie rode in a plain carriage. and drove onlv two horses, a style adopted by shopkeepers aud tradesmen alone iu St. Petersburg. On his return to the Uuited States, Governor Middlcton mot him driving a coach and four blooded horses! In Virginia, Randolph was disposed to play the nabob and aristocrat ! But in RussiA he preferred acting plebian and democrat ! Such was his remarkable eccentricity of character. Governor Middleton told me that he was personally acquainted with almost every distinguished man in Europe. He saw Bona parte in every station which he had filled, from that ot Genera! of the Interior to his seat on the throne of France. He was on terms of intimacy with him whilst ho was General ot the Interior, and was in the habit of visiting his family At one period of their acquaintance he received encouragement to addresa his step daugh ter. 44 Little did I then think," said Governor Middldlon, 44 that | she would over bo a queen. She I was a clover ariil. but afterwards reduced by Napoleon, and raarried to bis brother t Josephine was the raistreeo of Uarrae, end given to Napoleon by tb%t corrupt minister, with a dowry 1 Those facts are indisputable." This statement is the very language of Goveruor Middleton. 1 had heard these slanders all my life, bat J never t gave them any credence. Governor Middleton, however, spoke of them as not being susceptible of a doubt! In speaking further of Randolph, he said lie acted strangely in Rnss a in every way. He would not visit or receive visits from any one. On all occasions his servants were instructed to say that he was not at home 1 Governor Middle ton said, Randolph was a most Cleasant fellow and fine company, ut possessed eccentricity bordering on derangement. In his appearance he looks very tnuch like an Indian. Governor Middleton says that JefTcrson gave hiin letters when he went to Europe, and that ho was strongly attached to him throughout his life. Their ac quaintance commenced when the I Govern Dr was quite a young man, I and they corresponded ever afterwards. Bat the publication ot Jefferson's works, after his death, satisfied Governor Aliddleton tlmt he was not sincere in his professions, but a hollow-hearted man! He said Randolph always spoke of Jefferson as a great coward. In Paris Governor Middleton became acquainted with Elbridge Gerry, then Minister to France, with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and Chief Justice Marshall. They wcro not recognized as ministers. It was intimated to them by a lady authorized by Talleyrand, that if they would give presents they might be received. " I carried this lady to see my uncle. General Piuckney," said Governor Middlo ton, w when she made the communication." This gave rise to Pinckuey's famous expression, l Millions for defence, but not a cent for tribute." Talleyrand afterwards denied that the ladv was k.. i.:? ? ? ? J - ov..i l>t nidi, in uuuiurizea to niAKc the offer. Gerry told who the lady was, and she was arrested and imprisoned for some time. The Govornor said ho had seen this lady long afterwards, and they talkod over the whole cirnmn&tance.? Gerry was a great coward, and terribly frightened < tie night, in Paris, by the kicking and stamping of the horses in the stable. lie thought robbers were breaking into the house, and alarmed all the inmates! Governor Middleton was a man of ordinary height, erect in his carriage and neat in his dress. lie was a man of great information, and wrote and convcrsod well. lie did not attempt to speak in an}' of our union conventions or caucuses. Whilst in Greenville he wrote several political articles for my paper, lie took an active part in the Leg islaturc ot South Carolina, when a very young man, in favor ot general suffrage, and was told by his colleagues that he would be defeated at the next election in Charleston. I3u% instead of being defeated, he was elected the head of the ticket. He was then electPfl finroninr nf tlio ^ w. ..v. v* ??"v? kjaim atforwards sent as Minister to Russia. After an absence of more than twenty years, be returned to the United States, being recalled by General Jackson. When be went to call on tlio President, Jackson expressed great pleasure at seeing biiu, and Governor Middleton replied to him, 441 am indebted to yonr excellency for tbo pleasure it gives you.'* ile found his native State in tbo midst of wbat ho regarded a revolution; and he took an active part in trying to stop the revolution and pre servo the Uuion. He told me that his sons were going a6tray when he returned to South Carolina, but that he had stopped thoin in thoir folly.

Allowing that the con sumption tor the entire year will be at the rato of 125,000 bales per week, which rate can only be reduced evremely prices, tbero would he on hand at tuo end of the year 239,000 bales.

How the Faetory Helps the Farm 4 It will cost yon a bushel of wheat to send another bushel to New York market," a wise one re marked to a Western colonist 44 We don't intend to send onr wheat to New York," was the re pl.v, 41 we are putting np mills to grind it tor homo consumption.'1 These colonists are on the road to mirnpRR. Tliov will r.nt nnlv make wheat, but at the same time a market. We at the South should bo willing to learn a lesson from the West in this matter.? We mako cotton. Can we not also make a homo market for it, and thus mako the factory help the farm ? On this point the loi lowing remarks from the Now York Tribune are worthy of thoughtful attention : ' The introduction of manufactures into agricultural communi ties brings together the essential clainents of wealth producing en tcrprise, establishing the shortest circuit of communication. This is in accordance not only with the laws of political economy, but of that higher order whereby Nature conducts the commerce of the material world. The farmer and manufacturer each have needs which the other supplies; and to bring the two into 6iich close con nection that exchanges can be made with the least possible cost, is a saving that must commend itself to the dullest mind. If our grain be bartered for cloth made within Bight of the tichl where it grew, that is plainly a better deal than sending the 6umo gram to Liverpool to pay for fabrics woven in Yorkshire. 14 1 ho factor v jkI.Im vnlnn to tho farm by affording a lionio market. A homo market saves the charges, risks and waste of lon<? carriage, the profits of intervening traders, and interest on delayed returns, and gives merchantable worth to products that will not pay such charges. Better still, a home market is a sure market, little subject to the fluctuations incident to foreign demand. Regular homo consumption steadies prices, drives out speculation, and gives to intelligent fore-thought a basis for reasonable calculation." ? ? Facts for The In'ormation of Idle Young Mm. Within three miles of Burkeville, in the county of Nottoway, lives a gentleman, who, in the year that has just ended, inade with his own hands, and a boy not over fourteen years old to assist liiin, three hogsheads of spleu did manufacturing tobacco, one hundred and seventy five barrels of com, ten nicely cured stacks of oats, about 3,000 lbs. to the stack, and pork, chickens and vegetables in abundance to servo him. During the year he was sick one mouth with typhoid fever, during which time he hired a man to work in his place at $7 per month. Resuming his labors as soon as well, lie paid out during tho year for extra labor $13.75.

But that this exercise is an evil, is no inoro apparent to us, than the exercise of bleating, sliding, sleighing, sailing, or playing with ladies in the suif. And in these views, 1 am supported by the precept and example of Bible saints, 'lbcy witnessed, tolerated and commended, if they did not commend R as readily as any other recreations or amusements of life* We are informed that Meriain and her maidens came forth dancing in triumph, as a measure to show honor to God.? We learn irom the good book that David and his band brought up the ark of the Lord leaping and dancing. W c see in David's Psalms frequently reference to acceptable dancing, saying, 44 Praise God in the dance," etc., etc. Solomon, King of lsreal, tho wisest man of his age, also commended it, saying, "There is a tiino to dunce.'' Jeremiah makes God to say, 44 O, virgin Isrcal, thou shalt again he adorned with thy trabrets and go forth in the dance of them that make merry."
