V* The following sweet little poem is from the pen of a son of Allan Cunningham, the poet: CHARACTER OF A COUNTRY GIRL'S LIFE. A country girl! what happiness! Tripping at dew-fall o'er the green, Rich in herself, not in her dress. Of quiet look and simple mien. That sings, while working at the wheel. . Sof strains, untutored and untaught, swo the lisa. senrniro to eol No bird that fits from tree to tree, And warbles in its own sweet way, Can happier or blither be. Her idle thoughts no wants create. Her rank she suits unto her mind; Poor. but content in her estate, She all things she can wish can find. Her heart, made up of innocence. Of quietthoughts and calm desires, She looks to as her best defence. And feels not that she momre quires. In this she puts her strength and trust. Happy in health her bread to earn, Remembers she's but living dust, And, that to dust itself she'll turn. Springs with the lark from out her bod, With Chanticleer retires to rext; Hers is the purest life that's led. And her reward will he the best. HOPE FOR TIE BEST. 3r c. sWAtM.

RxMAatS 0 Tua NATUKAL ADVANTAGES Or All EYVLLE DISTRICT. Ma. Eorroa.-There is one portion of our State that can compare in natur al advantages with -any part of the Sonth-and that is Abbe ville )istrict. I know of no section torcountry better adapted to Agricultural and other Inter. .il Improvements. Upn its rich lands, along its creeks and rivers, it ;a ofien sickly during its hot months. But, this fart has given an un. merited reputationofunhealthiness to the whole District. A greater portion of it throuhout the year is extremely healthy,and generally exempt from the summer disenses. Its uplands and ridges, (which are also very productive,) afftird Gne and salubrious locations for residences. and are sufficiently proximate to the richer 1hw lands. Through these healthy portionsare in terspersed numerous mineral springs-one of which, in the upper part of the district, among the first spurs ofthe mount-ins, now attracting visitors, is prepared with a good establishtment. well kept or their receptian. and bids fair to i be a delightful and fashionable watering place. Beside the rich and inexhaustible creek and river lands of this district. its uplands are pro. ductive, gcnerally well timbered, wear well, and are remarkably susceptible of restoraiiou when exhausted. throughout a large portion of it, its timber is comparatively but little cut down. It is well watered. and afiords many situations for the investment of manaurtettwinsg capitaL Beside the peculiarity of its lands. (he- i ing northerly upland) maturing Cotton. well. and the known fineness ofits staple, it produ. ces the heavier grains abut.dantly. and in ma ny portions is finely adapted to pasturing and the finer grasses. By proper energy. it is ar-enpable of being as noted or its wealth and refinements, as it is fbr its intelligence and talent. That eiaergy is already in operation, and there is nbrond in it an active spirit of social and Agricultural im provement. In fact, there exists now nn unt anal degree of intelligeuce, refinement and wealth. Some years agn. during the mania ofemigra tion. (when even the ready picking up of mo ney in the highway. would scarcely have stop ped the locomotion towards the fancied El Do rado of the West) that District was drained of a considerable poition of its poorer piopulation. and much of its lands case ino the pss.'egsion oflarge and wealthy landholders. From this cause, and !xe occasi-attal throwing into tie market, (by the death of owners,) of large bo-. dies: the lands there. although richer, have commmanded, generallf. as high prices as I of other portions of the State.

Dr. John Breckenridge dieparted this life on 4th ina:ant, at the residence of his mother, :.n 1renuky. Notwithstanditrr the many unfavorable reports we have recently re ceived of the state of his health, we had still cherished the hope of his prolonged 1 life. But it was otherwise determined in I the n ise counsels of God, and we submis sively bow to the dispensation. It was our privilege to enjoy much of the society of the decenied, and we greatly esteemed and loved him. A more devoted servant of Jesus Christ. we have never known, and of him it is literally true, that he wore himselfout by his abundant and uncensing labours. His record is on high. We shall doubtless have an extended notice of the life and death of this eminently good man, to whose death we thus briefly allude, as our paper it going to press.-Balt. Amer. GEonoREToWn, Aug. IS. Murder.-The bodies of George, the property of Wm. B. Lester. and Cornelius, owned by Mr. William Porter, were on Friday last found floating in Spring-gully creek, about nine miles from town, near Sampit rrver. The verdict of the jury of Inqext was that "George came to his death by violence at the hands of some persn unknown." George was badly stabbed in the neck in two places. and his face mangled by blows. The two negroes were intimaat, mteh attached toeach oth er, nnd had been the whole year employ ed in flonting wood to market. They were heard caulking their flat, late in the day on Thursday. Conjecture is that Ihey were assaulted by other negroest or, that in a persoral engagement in a boat, they capsized the canoe, nod were drowned. Winyah Observer.

Ono of the ring maders, a Mr. Fossest, the proprietor of ,Loc Cabin Hotel," has been arrested by be United States Marshal, and bound over 2 four thousand dollars. The Lsnd Distribution Bill was thea etn tip. but at the instaace of Mr. Cal un. ii was laid aside, and the Senate ok up a bill to extend the time for loca ing military land warrants. This was iarly opposed by Messia. Clay, of Al'i ama, Pierce, Benton and McRoberts, who posed the enormous frauds which were erpetrated on the Government under the rovisions of these laws. Before the de ate terminated, the -hour arrived for ta ing up the special order-the Veto Mes age. Mr. Barrien moved to posstpoe its con dreliont until to-morrow, Mr. Calhoun referred to the extraordin ary course which had been pursued by the Whig Senators on this subject, in their re peated motions to postpone it, without as signing any reason for so doing. Were they afraid to avow their reasons. and were they determined not to take it up. until the negociations out of doors were terminated. He thought it due to the Senate. to the Executive and to the country, that this mat ter should be taken up and disposed of promptly. The vote was taken on the postponement, and carried-Ayes 29, Noes 21. The Land Distribution Bill was then taken up, and various amendments were offered. During the discussion, Mr. White aimadverted on the pertinacious opposi tion of the Democratic membersto the bill, and informed them it would be unavailing. asit would pass. and not alone, but in com pany with other good Whig measures. hi, was an open avowal from an authen tic source, of the system of log rolling adopted by the Whigs to carry through their measures, and Mr. Benton, Mr. Lion and Mr. King. denounced in strong lan guage the di4reputable course pursued, and char'ed that the passage of the Bankrupt Law was to be the conideration given for the passage of the Distribution Bill. Be fore the debate was closed, a message was received rrom the House of Representa tives, announcing the passage by that body Df the Bankrupt Bill, with the amendment making it to take place from the first of February next. It was immediately ta ken up.the amend mentsconcurred in. and the bill sent to the President. In the House, immediately after read ig the Journal, a motion was made to re-. consider the vote by which the Bankrupt Bill was laid on the table, which was car ried 108 to 9. and after several calls of yeas nod on intermediate questions. the ill was passed-Ayes 111, Noes 106. and tent to the Senate. The bill to incorpor l;e the Banks of the District was then ta ken up. and after being amended s as to authorize them to circulate 6. 7. and 8 dol lar notes. was passed. The House then adjourned.

From the Globe. WA HNGTO-, Aug.19. The Bankrupt bill was returned to the Senate with the President's signature. The Land Djistrilbution till was then taken tp, and a variety of amendments were offered, none of which, however, were adopted. The hour of twelve having arrived, the Chair antunced the special order of the day-the bill to incorporate the subscribers n the Fiscnl Bank of the United States. with the message of the President refusing is assent thereto. The debate on the Bank bill. acecom paniuied with the President's veto, was pro ractel toso late an hour that we have not ime. before our paper goes to press, to touch upon the topics discussed. It was 0onducted with unusual ability by Mr. Inv on one side, and Mr. Rives on the ther. Mr. Clay, in his opening speech, was. ror hinm, singtularly temperate in tone, and profuse ini friendly protestations towards he President; but before he concluded the dav, he gave the reins to his vehement aine, andu stripit off' the discuise with which he had lahured to covar his feelings. Altho::h, in the first elTurt, lie preserved 'nme moderation of manner and expres ,iun, his whole aim was manifestly to coy er the P'resident with odium, and destroy him tith the F'ederal party'. He began by reading his inaugural ad. 'res'. anad declared thut, although at first bie atid others entertained distrust as to the President's course, that paper had dispe! ed al( apprehensions about the fate ofa tank charter at liis handst. Hie said that ddr's had satisfied1 the whola Whig par y and press throughout the country-that te was prepared to assent to the estab ishment of a National Bank. H e referred text to the implied pledge in accepting the nomination from the Harrisburg Con renion as Vice President, which he said very body knew could not have obtamned -no, not even the vote of a single mein ser at' that Convention, nor a single Whig aleoral vote, if it had been suspected that t would not have yielded to tbe party wish in favor of a Bank. He then ran over the hist7ry of the Bank nestion, and insisted that all the fathers f the Government. to whose example Mr. 'yler had pledged himself to subscrihe, had all in succession (including Mr. Jefferson!!) 1iven in their adhesion to a Bank. The whole scope of this part of the ar gment was to make the impression that M1r. Tyler had played false with the Whig pursydping them into his selection, as ane devoted to their cause, which he had iou determined to betray. He referred to 'hat part of President Tyler's message in which ho says, if, with his convictions of the Constitutionl and the dutissimposed by is oath, he had given his assent to the igll, it must have snhjscted him to the te.. orfi. er,e .ad usined his consei en.e with a crime, and employed it in a way. to make the impression that it was an attack on the probity and purity of Mr. Madison, whom Mr. Clay represented as having acted in the way denounced by the President. He next took the position that, if Mr. T. had been disposed to comply with his duty to the party to whom he owed his elevation -to the Country that demanded a Bank at bis hands. as essential to its prosperity that he might have permitted the work to be accomplished without doing violence to his conscience. He said he might have allowed the bill to become a law without his signature, by the lapse of the ten day given in the Constitution for a 'veto, or might have followed the example he gael himself, when be resigned his place in the Senate, under the instruction of the State Legislature. He considered the State A gislative instructions as not more decisiVe evidence of the will of the people of Vir ginia. that the late vote of Congress, a do, munstration of the will of the people of the Union. He gave the history of the progress oT the vetoed bill-the effort to accommodate it to the Executive scruples; and finally reviewed the veto message itself with strong and pointed animadversion. Mr. Rives responded with great fervor and power. He encountered Mr. Clay's positions at every step, whether of fact or argument. and, in our opinion, mast successfully refuted them. We would touch more fully upon the details of the discussion if time permitted. To-morrow wie hope to lay the whole before the pub lie. The vote was taken again on the bill. It stood 25 for, and 24 against it. At the end of the debate, Mr. Archer called on Mr. Clay to disclaim some eoare and derogatury allusions which he mede to a part or the Virginia delegation In the House. He called them a cabal, thatop. posed every measure of the President whom they professed to sup- ,rt-said that ru mor indicated that they were trying to make a third party; and with mauy scer vy phrases, gave them the cognomen of Kitchen Cabinet. Mr. Clay refused to disclaim. Carespondea qf th Chnassm M . WAsutNorNO, Aug. Yesterday the anticipated debate, (or rather the Clay explosion.. took place va theveto message.' Mr.' ives replied. at ever heard him. Indeed it was the only occasion, on which I have ever heard him, justifying his reputation for eloquence. But the whole speech was most impolitic; and has opened the breach irreparably, between him and the President. Yet it is plain, there is but one way the President cal sustain himself. So [ong as he is sur rounded by a Cabinet which is mortally opposed to him. and the ardent friends of Mr. Clay, he cannot get on. He must be crushed-he Cabinet will not resign. They are determined. if possible, to entan gle andl destroy the President in their toils. Will he have the sagacity to perceive his condition, and the energy to throw them off, and make a Cabinet which supports him. and his measures? The Whigs say he dares not. But they were mistaken in the veto matter, and may be so in the Cabinet. It is expected to day. that an elfort will lie made to pass a Bank bill, based on the President's observations in his veto mes sage, concerning a Bank limited to Ex chang-s. It ivill pass the House of course. if introduced; but the debate yesterday in the Senate must have exasperated the President and therefore renders it improba ble that any Bank the Whigs shall bring forward can pass the Senate. The move will be made in the House. 2 o'cr.ocx. The newv Bank bill- is introduced by Mr. Sergteant. It is called. "the Fiscal Cor-. porat ion of the United States." It is limi ted to dealing in E xchanges only-and the Bank has the power:to place its branches in the States. The authority to set up branches given by the bill, will bring it within the range of the President's veto. But I thtink he will stop it in the Senate. Frons the Globe. \VAsNtINovoj', Aug. 21. S.NArs.-The Distribution bill was re su med. Mr. McRoberts renewed his motion in the Senate to dla. to insert 'the Territo ries of Wisconsin, lows, and Florida.'' so that they should be enti'led to a distribu tive share of the public lands. It was I nally adopred by a vote of 22 to 18, the Democratic Senators present all yating for the ameandment. Mr. Berrien brought up what he'prss ressed to consider the same amendmnent as that oflered by Mr. King. the fate of which we noticed yesterday in our analysis. Mr. King's proposition (voted down yesterday) was intended to arrest the action of the dis tribution measure. whenever a higher duty than twenty per cent. ad 'valoretD, or mare than one fifth of the value of any article, was imposed by Congress. This was to make the continuation of the land distribi tion depend upon the strict observance of the compromise law. That law says, no duty beyound 20 per cent. shall be levied on imports after the year 1842.
