A-defect in our management-a love of

wlih' aIuryiAs- the- besetting meekness of
our coibntrymen. Capt. Marryat, in one

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

was not overborne -by the idle vanity of

condemn their-own folly in others.
But it is only when people are hedged

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

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.

Proselytes.-It is reported that many of
the Jews residing at Constantinople have
lately 'ocen converted to Christianity.

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.

he never fatiled to let it out whetn he hacd can

cross, and his openectet was sure to gunil

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

him, as an orator, ihcat fewv could or were

of his fineger or his htead, often conveyed as
much mneaning as the moest finishted or elabo

SCRIPTURE QUOTATIONS.
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. The
annual pr-eparation of the planters, howev
er, will accoutnt for this. We quote as ex
tremes 7j to 104 ets. Principal sales, 98
ets. Carolina money.

in some pn'pers of the inierior, comments in re

appear to us erroneois anl mnde without due
reflention. Onr country friends express sur
prise at thi bank notes of some country banks
paying specie being at a discount. while the
notes ofthe banks of Augusta are at par. Our
conntry friends did not' reflect. that Augusta
furnish'es exchange on the north to a large por

obtained at:14 per cent. premum, but for spe
