Xni fpriite economy is the radic A-defect in our management-a love of s.ho*- a vulgar inbition to appear rich, ea finery and surround themselves wlih' aIuryiAs- the- besetting meekness of our coibntrymen. Capt. Marryat, in one eihziorks upon this country, speaks of Ihe rich household furniture, the rare arti des of apparel. the wines and choice gro eries that are exposed for sale in more a hndred ta'Wins. in this country, as suryassing in cost and sumptuousness any inerebandize of the kind, that may be fonudin England, save by resorting to the NMiropolis. Now who are the purchas .rs in these hundred markets of imported 1Uxy.! Are they paid for by those who inheritmeans, ample enough for their in A aclgesee in every superfluity; or by those who; commencing life with no means at all, iaveby long years of untiring indus try, accumillated large fortunes? Why, the number of such men of either class is yet so few among us, that any one city of the Union could meet their demand. They saust he bought then by many whose cir cumstances will not warrant such extrav agance, and who, if their honest judgment was not overborne -by the idle vanity of mimicking the style of some wealthier neighbor would be quick to ridicule and condemn their-own folly in others. But it is only when people are hedged in with out of door mismanagement, and dismayed at the near approach of ruin, that they are at last compelled to look at home. Weller's dinners and maderia wines, are not bad; but neither are mutton and tur nips, with a bottle of Newark cider, to be despised when quarterly bills are taken into consideration. VENTRILOQUISM. Our citizens were highly entertained on Friday and Saturday nights of last week, by an accomplished and witty exhibitioa of the Ventriloquial powers of Mr. Ro senbu. Mr. R possesses the ability, not only of exhibiting the true nature of this amusing and wondeful art, but also ofcali ing into. requisition the risible faculties of his audience, to an extent perhaps, equal to any of his cotemporaries, in the same an. - pi-ad the..enierlaiment.giv osetIbu, his lady, Mrs. R., in troduced in the course of the perform ance several popular songst, which were sung with exquisite taste, and , a me lodious voice. We tunderstand Mr. Rt. and his lady design visiting the Northern part of this State, and we take pleasure in assuring our readers in that sectioat that so far as our acquaintance has extended with them, his exhibitions have been high ly creditable to himself. and pleasing to his auditors. " Lose's Labor Lost."-Tomn Hughes, a slave who was sent to State Prison fromt New York, for stealing several thousand dollars from his Master, Mr. Darg, has just been liberated by the expirattion of his termi. Circumstances transpired at the time of his committal to prison, that produced strong suspicions of his having been abetted in the act, by certain A boli tionists, with a view to pturchase his free dom. Tom, however, it appears, "sme/t a mice." and had no idea of trusting his fortune to their fanaticism any more, and when let out of prison, was asked by some Abolitionists (who were present, as also was Mr. Darg,) what he intended to do now. He replied that Mr. Darg htad al ways treated him very well, and he inten ded to spend his days with him. One of the Abolitionists said, he wvished he had known this sooner, as it would have saved him a great deal of trouble. What a pity ! inothe "Bish'op of Charleston,"!! says, intelast Catholic Miscellany, "I have been asked by many, a question, which I may as well answer at once, viz :-\Vheth er I am friendly to the existenlce or con tinuation of Slav~ery ?-I am not-hut I al so uee the impossibility of noto abolishing it here." The first instance we eier hoard of in which one city was bought out by another, has occurred in Florida. St. Josephs has +been purchased by Apalachicola, which is we believe, adjoining or rather on the op posite side of the river. There has been a reg'tlar bargain, sale, and transfer. The Pt~eiding Judge of the Louisiana Supreme Court, and the Attorney Gener 'al of the same State are both Printers. Proselytes.-It is reported that many of the Jews residing at Constantinople have lately 'ocen converted to Christianity. 1 feel too lazy to work, said a loater,and I have no time to play. I think.

GREAT FRESIET. On Tnesday morning last, the rain be gan to descend, and the wind to blow. It rained for three successive days antd night, in torrents almost. The consequence is, that our creeks and rivers have been swoll en to an extent never before witnessed, if we except the freshet of last June. In deed, albhough .at this place the waters were not as high. by two feel, in the Oco nee, as they were in June last, yet we have been informed, that below, they were on the river and creeks, much high er. Frot aill i hat we can learn, too, grea ter damage has been done, than any pre vious freshet. The Georgia and Central Railroads have been materially injured. The Bridges, in alldirections that we have vet heard from, have been carried awav. Vole plantations covered with water, which as it flowed away, deposited upon the once fertile land, large quantities of sand. Many lives too must have been lost. Mr. Buffingion of this place, lost a fine tegro man. He was drowned in at tempting to save some rails that were floating away. We also learn that at Cargill's Ferry, on the Octmulgee, in Jas per county, while the Stage was being ferried over, the current carried away the flat. It had proceeded but. a short dis tance down the river when it upset. The passengersijumped upon an island and were saved. One negro fellow, and one horse were drowned. The mails were lost. Milledgeville hans bceen completely shut nut from any intelligencee. We tmust re serve hier a f'uture nonetber of our paper, in t elligence, wve fear, theat will Ice of a mourn ful character.

Those w ho never saw~ this remarkable accident itn nature- who never hear-d heim ine Congress, ha~ve much cause ofregree. His mactner in debate was pecutliairly his own, originacl and forcible. Thoughe oc casioenally excursive andI erratic, hee seat tered aroeund hime flowers so very beautiful ehate ver-y few were off-ueded at heis devious wondlerings. and Ibllowred hcim with pleas ure wherever he chose to lead them. He tnever Icest a gooid thouceght or a finee image that ccuerred to him either ine coneversation or soli tudce ; beet teasu~ereed it itn a booek citd volumee 'ef his bramte, till it wvas wanted, andee he never fatiled to let it out whetn he hacd can opporrtumy. Hi-s invective, like the deatd ly siroe, withlered every thing it swept ai cross, and his openectet was sure to gunil andI sheiver benecath his touch. His sar castms were bacrheed wieh the incst corr-odling acrimony, and the excessive bitterness of his feelitngs indicated a feruciocus aend mis anthropic chara-ccter. lie inedulged more itt satire thaen logie, more invective thatn rea sotning, but there was a fascinactione about him, as an orator, ihcat fewv could or were willina to resist. His very silenece wasi someiemes eloqucent, and.( the bacre moection of his fineger or his htead, often conveyed as much mneaning as the moest finishted or elabo rate sentence. Beet hetween heis dleliveredl and pubellished speeches there is nto comrpa risnt. In the Ictter, you lose that charm Iby wrhich you wvere bound whien votn listenc eel to what he uttered-the attitude, ges ticuelation, eemphasis, action, are gone. The skeleton is left, but the spirit heas fled ; the bodly is there, buet the sound is no more. Tojeudgeof John Randolph as ane ora tor, Ice mus~t have been heard whlen his mind w as ine the pletittude of powver, and his ima~ginationt still luxuriating in the de licious images nf yout h aend poet ry. Burke seemeed to Ice his model, and Shcakespear his cnse nt compantion. From both le drew largely; and with the laitter he was as famniliar as Alexander w'as wvith the works of the imtnortal Homer, His mined aned h abits were whotlly averse to thce neces sary routine and details of busincess. The mere labcors of legislation wvere not suited to his temnper or intellect, aend tenth cas a memnber ofa committee and of the Hotuse, he was almost ineellcient. Randoclpht, was tall, meagre and badly formed. His eyes were black aned pier cing; his complexion sallow aned cdave roues; his hair smoothed dlown over his head, and tied in a cue ; and his voice, thotugh of no great comtpass, was uncommonly clear and distinct.

The light and trifling, as well. as the ir reverent nianner in which quotations from the sacred volume are continually itrodu" ced inti Corgressional speeches, editorial. articles on political questions, and even reports of the proceedings otn the race course, is becoming so common and so dis gusting as to call londly for the condemna lion of' all those who profess any _regard for the solemn truths of holy writ, or who in uny degree look to their influence for the preservation of sound morals. No more fafal blow can be struck-at the influ ence of religiou. Nothing is better calcu lated to strengthen the cause of' infidelity, to undo and to render nugatory the efforts of* the christian world, than the indiscrimi nate, the irreverent, and, -we may add, the blasphemous introduction ofscripturequo tations on all occasiOns, and under circum stances which make them peculiarly inap propriate and hurtful. Will not our brethren ofthe press, who have thouhitlessly and inadvertently been led into the practice, reflect on its delete rious ef'ects, its fatal consequences, and re frain from the use of these solemn quota tions, except when discussing questions, the importance of which render theirintro ductionjustifiable? We are well convin ced that there are many of our brother edi tors who have a high regard for the -sacred oracles," who are in the habit of mingling in their political disquisitions, passage of scripture whieJb have graled harshly on our ears, and we doubt not have been the catuse of regret and sorrow to many oftheir readers.-Camden Journal. St. Lawrence.-This saint occupies a de servedly high position in ihe calendar. He was broiled to death upon a gridiron, over a slow fire, the 10th of August, in the year 258, because he refused to give tip to the Prmfect of Rome, the treasures be longing to the church of which he was the guardian. The fortitude with which he bore his sufferings is well known. It is said hv some historians of the affair, that * he felt rather comforted than tormented.' lie took it so coolly as to request his cooks to turn him on the other side, for that the one downwards was broiled long enough.' :3t. Lawrence was a Spaniard, and his piety and fortitude has been the theme of many old Spanish writers. An anecdote has been related, which put the fortitude of the saint in a new light, and admirably illustrates the pride for which the Spanish grandees have ever been remarkable. St. Lawrence said a Castilian courtier to the Spanish monarch within the last century, ' did not, as priests declare, so t*ly bear his sufferings, assisted by God's grace, but solely by the valor inherent in him as a Spaniard.' "Bringing up Children."-A child's nurse in my family (not perhaps well in structed in law terms.) asked me vester day if I knew what kind of food a "Ihabeas corpus" was made of-and whilst waiting for a reply she continued by stating that she had brought tip a good many children by "the bottle," and on pap, and some times on "arra root," neither of which modes were near as good as the natural mother, atd vex, to that, a good healthy nurse-but the "habeas corpus" plan was what puzzled her. I asked her where she saw this plan adopted, when she ran up to the nursery andI returned with your paper, and pointed otut the following not ice: "The Case.-His H onor, Judge Oakley, dielivered his opinion on this case on lotn day evening, being an appli.:ation of Mr. -- for leave to bring tip his child by habeas corpus; the application iras denied and the decision of Judge Inglis allirmed." I relievedl her fronm her embarrassment but she still persisted that her tnotions in the main were safes.-N. Y'. American. Stealing on Credit.-A farmer in this State wvas once greatly puzzled by the suddlen disappearaince of his sheep. One, after another was missed from the flock without any sointioni of the mystery, nintil at last his suspicions rested on ote of his neighbotrs. Acecordingly, as the sheep dis appteared, each one was entered on the h'ook aigaitist the suspected matn and the price'carriedt out. At the endl of the year thme hill was sent to himi and without mak ing nnty words on the subject he pr-udetmly paidl it. Another year pa~ssed, an:l the atb sencee of a creater numbaer of sheep had ad ded numerous items to a newv hill, which wans presented as ont a previous year-. T1htis time, in wever-, t he lover- of muiotn demur t-.d, and insisted orn its bteing reduced, pro testing that he had tnt taken an eigrhth part of the numbmer charged to hint. iBut lie creditor insisted u pon-every fart hi ng. " Well" said sheepy-, " if I mutst pay, 1 su~pose I mtist h um the fact is, som~escamnp has been stealing on may credit."-New Hfaven Register. Jugs.-Thme Jnig is the most singular utensil; a pail. tumbiler, or decantter mayv he ritnsed. atnd yott may satisfy yourself by optical proof that the thting is clean; but the- jug has a little hole in the top, and thte interim is all dlarkness. No eye petnetrates it, no hand moves over the surface. You can clean it onuly by pmttitg in water, sha king it tip, nrmd pouring it out. If the wa ter conies out clean, you jud~ge you h ave succeeded in pturifyitng the jug, atnd vice versa. Hence thiejmtg is like the human heart. No mortal eye can look into its recesses, lbut you can judge of its purity or itmpurity only by what comes out of it. HanBUne, March 20. Otur mairket this week has been rather quiet and prices inclined to go down since Moniday last. The stoppage of the Mails, scarcity of moiney. and an apprehension of a War, have tendled to depress the feelings of otur buyers. Since our last notice the market has given away fully & ct. on the lower qualities of Cotton, and k ct, on choice brands. Until the ptresent di~icul ties are removed, out- market catnuot regain the falling off'in prices. The tran~sactions for the week have beeni limited, and but a small share of the staple has arrived to the amount wve usually have received.
