and I gladly avail myself ofthe opportiiii ty which is afforded me, of announcing my determination. So deeply do I- feel the debt of gratitude which I owe to my constituents, that if I know tnyself, there is no sacrifice which I would not make to serve them. But I am-well satisfied that there is no service which I could render them, which wouldtbe at all commensurate with the sacrifice of interest, of feeling and of health, which a longer. continuance in Congress would involve. "1 assure you, sir, that whatever pleas ures public life may have afforded to others, that I leave it with no other regrets, than as the termination of a relation which has so long subsisted with thq most generous and independent of constituents, and the loss of the good feelings of an enlightened and patriotic portion. of these constituents, occasioned by an honest and indexible ad herence to what [,believed to be right. I trust, however, that the time is not distant, if it has not already arrived, when the larger portion even of these will be satis fed that I was right, on the only question upon which any objection was made to me. Very truly, your friend and ob't serv't. WADDY THOMPSON, Jr," Communications. Mr. Rditor, I was much pleased with the astronomi cal lecture delivered on Thursday night, the eleventh ult. It was highly credita ble to the Author, and indeed, it would have done credit to one far more experi enced than himself. Both the manner and the matter were good, and Dr. M. gave in that lecture, strong evidence that he is destined in time, if be perseveres, to make no mean proficiency in the sublime science which he has undertaken to teach. So much, justice and impartiality require me to say. And it is the duty of the vir tuous and intelligent to cheer and encour age whomsoever they find toiling, in any path, to diffuse knowledge and to promote virtue. This we should do, not only with the pen, but with the purse also. I regret that I cannot close here: but the principles which I-have just avowed com pel me to say one word more. I desire, respectfully to suggest. to the gentlemen who have the conduct of those things, the propriety of omitting hereafter the exhibi tion of those "Scriptural Diagrams." It would be difficult to say what feeling. save that of adoration, those pictorial represen tations are intended to excite, And the 2d article of the decalogue commands us to "worship the likeness of nothing in hea ven." It was well said by that eminent christian philosopher, the Bishop of Sa rum-that "the bias of human nature lies to sense, and to form gross imaginations of incorporeal objects; and, therefore, instead of gratifying these, we ought to wean our minds from them, and rise, aq far as hu manit wll suffer, above them." But it being my intention, merely to make a suggestion and not an argument, I will .content myself with what I have said;.trusting that my remarks will be taken in the spirit of kindness and charity, in which they are made. ICONOCLAST. 'Twod pease beauty's ear to have heard echw To~ the hunter's horn, to the hunter's horn, To the hunter's horn in the mnrning. - Hurrza's Cuoaus. Mr. E ditor, 1 beg leave to pablish, through the me dium of your paper, some account of deer hunting, by the Penn Creek Company, on the waters of $aluda, Edgefield District, during the months of Juno, July, August, September and part .of October, 1838. The Company consisted of five men who had dogs amounting to seventeen. Good dogs indeed they wvere-for Old Jolly, one of the pack, would never pass the trail of the buck, (although the latter had made it 36 hours previously,) without yelling most loudly. We amused ourselves one day in each week during the months above men tioned, nor did we consider the tinie un profitably spent, having killed in that fine season 23 deer, which were fat, tender and delicious to the taste. How delightful was it to us to hear Jolly and his comrades in full yell, wvhen the flying doe, but a fur long in advance, trode the pathless hills and valleys, dreading even the very thick ets themselves! How does the poor crea ture tremble at the arrival of'Spring! This season to her has become terrible! She starts at the rustle of a leaf!- She flies if but a green lizard stir the black-berry bush which bears her favorite food ! She dares not stay to nip a bud, for JTolly and his pack are in fudllpursuit, making sweet er music than did Orpheus when he drew the lofty oak from the mountain, by'the soft strains of his lyre-when subdued by his melody, rivers the most trapid ceased to flow, and the very mountains moved forward to listen to his song! What a thrill shoots through the breast of one, who has been anxiously waiting at the pass thte arrival of the buck, when he beholds him leaping carelessly, but majes tically along ! His velvet horns arerthrown back, his snow-white tail is erect, 'and 'he looks as if he disdained to touch a branch or a leaf with his taper legs! He makes his way through the vast pine barrens, speeding as with the wings of Icarus. But lie fl ies in vain ! Jolly and his merry crew are close in his rearhs Alas! the no ble stng is now exhausted-lie bowvs down his head-he throws out his tongue-lhe 'tottrs ns he runs nlnng the> winding riru let, seeking shelter in'the full, overflowing stream! Driven from this, he hides him in the dense thickets, where the owl pours forth his startling note! Or where the whip-poor-will gives warning of the ap proach of evening, by his saddening strain. ,But enough of this. In conclusion, I must say that hunting is a manly pastime. The hunter is gener ally a noble, generous being. Doubtless, he will make a good husband. Wit idue deference, Mr. Editor, [think that the hunter, who is yet a bachelor, is worthy or the "little girl whom you saw stooping over a snow-bank," and with whom you were willing to do battle at snow-ball, throwing your -editorial dignity" to the winds. Oh mother! whoever thou art, who readest this sketch, never refuse thy daugh ter to a hunter! Trust her to him freely! Bind her to him by the silken bonds of Hymen. He will cherish her in sickness and in health. Unto her will he cleave, for saking all others. VENATOR. Parturiunt montes; mascitur ridiculus mus. HORACE. We had indulged the hope that "In quisitor" would take advantage of the few hints we gave him, on the impropriety of scribbling. As well might we expect a weather-cock to assume a fixed position, or endeavor to stop the current of the winda. It is not surprising to us, in the least, that the stretches of his flighty and baloon-like, imagination should seek for a simile in the exploits of his beau-ideal of heroism Don Quixotte. Who that has read of the imaginative genius of' Ichabod Crane, of Sieepy Hollow, the grand pro totype and forerunner of the "Inquisitor" of modern date, but must be s'truck with the exact coincidence of their wonderful genuises? Par nobile fratrum. Mr. -'' feels that he is subject to our '-doggerel splurges." Well he may. We make our -ills to suit the palates of those that have to swallow them; hence it is, that we have been induced to believe that any thing short of "doggerel splurges," (as an astringent,) is altogether incompe tent to produce the desired effect. Mr ' I' presumes to question whether we have ev er had the "advantages of an academical education." Now, "the proof of the pud ding is chewing the bag," and while In quisitor is chewing the bag, we will again ask "is he a hraduate ?" if he is, he has greatly cheated the Faculty; for no "gra duate" would ever write desideratums ror desiderata. His dignity too, stoops to the "practical bearings" or personal remarks, as " beardless youth,"&c. Weonlywish a sling, and a few smooth stones, to pene trate the armour of this gigantic Ichabod, We are truly sorry that we cannot return the compliment paid us in the outset of his eloquent "splurge," by using the term "egotist;" for Mr. -I" has clearly shown in his "adniratiorn for qualifcations," that he has thought too little of him'self ever to deserve it. We congratulate Mr. "I" in being so successful in obtainitng from the Editor that advice which hie so ardently craved, and so much needed ; for now it seems that he has enough and some to spare. The "advice" he offered us was very good, (what there was of it,) but we do not like to take " advice" from one who has to ad vertise for it. We must confess that in some degree we have been rightly com pared to the renowned Don Quixotto. *We were not dleceived it) the object of our attack-we never could have mistaken "Inquisitor" for a "giant," for we accus ed him from the first or being "an airy minded s'ribbletr;" he now not only con fesses that, but frankly acknowledges him self to be "A Windmill !"-Yes A Wind rmill!!l This is all we ask-it is all that "justice to the Ladies" requires.-And now "Inquisitor," we will meet-break a hottle of Porter (provided you pay for it) -shake hands, and drop the subject. ANTHONY. MIscellaneous. From the Phladephiaz Inguirer. THE.CHAR-risTs la GREAT BRITAIN. Much excitement still prevailed atourlinst dates frotm England in relation to the Corn Laws, and the course of the Ministers upon that subject. What is termed the -'Peo ple's Charter" was obtaining signatures in the manufacturing districts, and it wvas ex pectetd that.upwards of two millions would be in readiness by the 6th of May, the time designated for the presentation of the petition to the House of Commons. This document purports to deamid from the House, the rights of Universal Suffrage, the Vote by Ballot,.the payment of mem bers, the abolition of the Corn Laws. &c. It is believed that it will be refused by the House, which the leaders of the Chartists expecting, call upon every man who has signedhis name~to arm and prepare for fight ing for his right. TheLondonCorrespondent of the Courier and Enquirer says: These threats of resortinig to physical force have now become perfectly open with the principal leaders of the people, who are nowv assembled in London as delegates to w t is terrnied the National Conven tion, NI who call meetings of the people, at two of which I have recently attended. and witnessed the most tremendous antd enthusiastic cheering on every allusion to the threatenmed approachitng appeal to arms. On the other hatnd, the governmetnt is not idle in its preparatitons, for a considerable force of artillery and rocket brigades has been ordered fromn Wool'vich towards Manchester, which is the .principal Ifocus reiain tranquil, there is very little doubl that the troops will be able to suppress the insurrection, should it be attempted aftei the approaching 6th of May. SUBSTITUTE FoR THE Su.-The new ly invented light of M. Gaudin, on which experiments were recently made at Paris, is an improved modification of the well known invention of Lieutenant Drum mond. While Drummond pours a stream of oxygen gas through spirits ol wine, upon unslacked lime, Gaudin makes use of a more etherial kind of oxygen, which he conducts through burning essence of tur peutine. The Drummond light is 1500 times stronger than that of burning gas; the Gaudin light is, we assured by the in ventor, as strong as that of the sun, ot thirty thousand times stronger than gas, and of course, ten times more so than that of the Drummond. The method by which M. Gaudin proposes to turn the new in vention to use is singularly striking. He proposes to erect in the island of the Pont Nettf, in the middle of the Seine and cen ter of' Paris, a light-house, five hundred feet high, in which is to be placed a light from a hundred thousand to a million gas pipes strong-the power to be varied as the night is light or dark. Paris will thus enjoy a sort of perpetual day; and as soon as the stun of the heavens has set, the sun of the Pont Neuf will rise,-London Me chanics Magaine. Nw ORL.ANs, April 18. Seat of Government for Texas.-The steamboat Cuba arrived here yesterday from Galveston. The papers brought by her were of a date not tore recent than those received by the Columbia. A pri vale letter, however, has been received from Houston, later than previous advices that gives important information respect ing the location of the seat of government. The Commissioners, it seems, have loca ted the metropolis on the Colorado river, at a point called Waterloo, thirty miles above Bastrop, and ten miles below the mountains. The situation is very fine, in a healthy, fertile'region of the country and near the centre of the large grant made by the Mexican 3overnment to Stephen F. Austin. There will be a great rush of speculators and etnigrants to the spot- The name of the plano is to be changed to Austin, .vhich ilue capital of Texas will hereafter bear in honor of its illustrious founder. From the Knickerocker Magan.:ia HUMAN OCCUPATIoNs.-Why is it that we find so many in all professions, occu pations, and trades, who are dissatisfied men? They seem to be moving in a sphere in life for which they are neither fitted by education, nor taste. The answer to this question is the most important view ofthe theme. It is because the profession, trade, or occupation, is-forced upon the child, be rore his mind has acquired the power ol judging; before his tastes are developed, and his genitts, or aptitude to any one pur suit, isevinced. Many men study law, who had better have been farmers or tne chanics, and many mechanics, had bettet been lawyers. The parent, instead ol studying the disposition of his child, give him such'a calling as agrees with his owti taste, rather than the child's, and perhaps, by this course, unfits him for hope of use fulness. There is undoubtedly such a thing as natural taste; a taste not innate, but resulting from organization, or early, insensible education. The eye of the painter, the car of the musician, the love of mathematies belonging to sedentary men, and the phlegmatic temperament, al prove this. If then this natural taste should be consulted, instead of pursuini the arbitrary course now so common, w<i might hope for better work, in all the oe cupations of life. Besides a man's mora character often depends upon the interesi he feels in his occupation. When thiey dislike it., they take every occasion to rit themselves of it for the time, and cont rac1 habits of idleness, which lead to povert y and in nine cases out of ten, lead to vice.
