r 7 Daniel Deas alias Graham,. who is charg ed with the murder of William Barefoot,. his sbp faiher, was brought to. the jail of this Dis tact, on the 25th inst., from the Penitentiary of the State of Georgia, where he was serving a term, for some good deed, which he had committed against the laws of that State. 17 An Epicedium or Elegy or the death of Genf. LaFayette, with various annotations and remnarks, relative to the present crisis, is left at this office, for public examination, and for the subscription of such cittzens as may approve of the style and sentiment, by the Author. Commodore Stewart.-The Charleston Cox Tier, of the 25th inst., in allusion to the rumor of the appointment of this veteran to the office of Secretary of the Navy says:-" If it be true that Commodore S t ewart has received the ap pointinenit of Secretary of the Navy, the Pres ident nisy congratulate himself on having in one instance fairly put the small malice of par ty tinder his foot. The Senate till not incline able Old ihonsides. In fact so little has bee ained from the rejection of the Presi dent minations by the Senate on political groun that one may well believe they are by this time sick of their own course. The people are certainly sick of it." i '1he Baltimore American saysthat letters have been received in that city which state that the office of Secretary of th Navy has been offered to Gov. Gilmer. of Virginia. The Tariff.-The Washington Globe of the 19th inst., states that Mr. McDufflie led off in the discussion of the great question of the see. Sion (the modification of the Tarif) -in a most elevated, comprehensive. and eloquent speech. It was worthy of his powers: ahhough his bo dily strength is greatly impaired by ill health, his mental energy remains in all its vigor. -The Pendleton Messenger.-We find the fol lowing appeal to the Democrats of this State, for support, in the last number of this old and highly respectable Journal, it being, we expect. the oldest Republican. Weekly publication, in our State; we hope it will be paid that atten tion to. which the editor justly deserves, he having been at its helm for the last eighteen years, and from what we have seen of his Ia bors in the good cause lie has espoused, we have no hesitation in saying that he has done great service. "The commencement of a new volume is a proper time to call on our friends for assistance sn sustaining our paper. A slight effort on their part would enable us to go on with ease and cheerfulness; and the mare liberally a press is supported by subscr'ptionsand advertisements. the more time and labor will its conductors be enabled to bestow on it; and the more worthy - of patronage will it be rendered. We offer our past course as a guarantee for the future. If in the long time we have been engaged in the business, we have conducted our journal with decency, propriety, and any portion of ability. we think we are justly entitled to contined support. This is for the people to decide. and we rely with-confidence on their liberality. Any special interest that may he taken in ex tending our subscription will be gratefully re membered," For the Advertiser. 6a. EDIroa.-As the constitution of the happy counny, in which it is our lot to live, has granted to each and every individual the riglt-of freely expressing his opinion, in retard to whom he deems the most competent, to act in its various offices, I have taken the liberty, through the columns of your valuable Journal, to nomtinate as a candidate for she next Sheriff alty of this District, our worthy and well tried fellow eitizen, SIMEON CHRIST(E. If by 'the past we are enabled to judge of a man's conduct, we cannot finid one that would answer the public end better-he having proved him self, during Isis late term, an officer of sterling worths-doingihis duty with justice anid preci sion-lenient where lensien<.y was in Isis pow er. biut at all times doing Plaintiff and Defen dant, justice, in the strictest sesie of the word, and I have no0 hesitation itn saying, thast there cansnot be found one msat. in our~eommunity, who ha had business with Col. Christie, either as Pla: tiffor Defendant, but will acknowledge that the treatment received at his hands, has been that of en indulgent, gentlemanly officer, and one who would scorn to grinsd the poor mass, when in his power; with a full know ledge of all thsiq, I fondly hope lhe may receiv3 an overwhelmning vote at the next election. Q 55 THE cOaNER. Frost tie Hamburg JournaL Mr. Editor.-In the list of prominent citizens who have been suggested as it successors of Governor Hammond, I ob serve the name of the Hun. WVilliam Ai ken;: one of the Senators from the Parish es of St. Phillip's and St. Michael's, in the State Legislature It is well known, that ihosugh firm in his political opinions, Mr. Ashen has never osade politics a profession, nor has he ever indulged in the partizan rancour and bit terness of the times. He is thoroughly identified with the agricuiltural interests of : he country ; being one of shbe largest plan ters in the State. From the ample re sources of his private fortune, he has al ways liberally contributed towvard the fur therance of every enterprize of a publie character. For she last six or eight years, ~he has been distinguished for the faithful and zealous discharge of his duties, as a member of oar Legislature. In all his public relations, he has been characterised by high integrity, and sound judgment; whilst as a private citizen, he is emphati cally without reproach. Superadded to this he is possessed of a highly cultivated intelleet ; of a generous and feeling heart ; of manners and address, remarkable for gent leness and suavity; and of a modesty as rate as it is captivasing. It is not mat ter of surprise therefore, that he should have now, the conadencce and regard of all, to whom he is knowvn. This much is certain, that if elevated to the Chief Ma gistracy of the State, its funcisios would be discharged by lium, well and gracefully. His deserts are procured, and doubtless will he appreciated EDGEFIE LD. The Wheeling Times says:-"lt was decided in the Cusmberlandl county, Pa., a -fugitive slave had-a right to.seize and remove- his- property, wherever found in the State,. -without. being compelled as heretofore 'o prove the slave lWfore a judge of the county court. From the Souther Patriot. The intelligence from' Europe is singu larly barren of interest.. There is not ma terial enough forsa Politician's discourse or an Editor's theme for five consecutive minutes. On the Continent all is as un ruffled as if there had been a transfusion into the Cabinets of St. James and the Tuilleries of the Souls of Sir R. Walpole and the Cardinal Fleury. Crowned Heads have exchanged the excitements of war for the incentives to improvements military enterprises for ameliorating pro jects. 'T'hey have become Utilitaria's. Instead of the march of armies, we hear of nothing now but lines of intercourse that is to smooth away diversities of interest. -de stroy provicincial distinctions and produce the unity of the wholr human faimily. Supplies are demanded now from Par liaments, for subsidizing, but for exploring all imaginable sources offcommercial profit and enlarging in boundaries. The strug gle is not for Military domain, for its own ,ake, but as it may become the auxiliary of new acquisitious in trade. Colonial rule is sough not us the nutriment to na tional pride, but as means of invigorating mercantile enterprise and multiplying mar. kers. In this new emulation, this ascendancy of the arts of peace over the excitements of war, we discover the augmented power of the middle orders in Europe. Military desires strengthened the means .f indul gence. There is a contagion in the pus sions that belong to war, which seizes mul titudes and are transmitted through an en-. tire generatiotn. The stimulants that at tend tho rivalry of arms-that renders the t nortifications of defeat so bitter, and the ambition that follows success, so exciting -disguise the cost of national conflicts. But the check comes at last ill the shape of pecuniary hurthens. Calculation then takes the place of enthusiasts. To the presem generation war, in all forms and aspects, is distasteful, not only on account of its bitter recollections, but its costly sac rifices. Accordingly, it is impossible for rulers now to find in public feeling those provocations that lead to national hostility. I The middle orders throughout Europe, having acquired power from their wealth and intelligence, oppose a bulwark to the t ambition of Princes and Statesmen, sup. t posing that they should entertain schemes of military aggrandizement, hoping to find an e.ho in the general sentiment. Ac. f cordingly there is no prospect that the present settled repose of peace will be soon I exchanged for the deceptious triumphs of f war. Even those civil broils and intestine dissentions that threaten revolution, spend t their Iorce in a tumult of words and a harmless array of numbers. A rebellion f in Ireland, would be among the politic'al phenomena of our day. An outbreak in t Wales ends in the destruction of a few c turnpiko gates. A religious feud in Scot land terminates in a subscription. Extract of a letter addressed to the Editors of the Southern Christian Advocate. by a highly respectable and Rev. gentle man, who has just returned from the Vest. "The second week in October found me f in Tennessee, and fron that time to this, on a tour through Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, I hove not seen, except for a week about Christmas, so much as two fair dlays in succession. Rtain and nsind have prevailed throughout the land, persectiting the traveller and fill ing the country with lamentation for the wasted crops. So great a destruction I never witnessed in crops of Cot ton as in ?'lississippi, Louisiana andi Alabama. I doubt if more than half of the Cotton ri pened in the field, will ever reach a mar kem. In South Alabama the crop was large, atid I was told .the weather hart heen floe during October and a part of Novetm her, so that what was picked before the rain set in was very floe. But the de struction of the rest has been utter. In North Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, "urkansas and Mississippi, they have had no weather from the beginning of the sea son fit for picking out Cotton, and their lossies have been imtmense. Going tip the Tombeckby river late in December, 1 saw numerous platntafions uder water, inclu ding setemnents as well as fields, and at one place, a gentleman who took passage with us told us that he computed the loss of Cotton on that plantation, only at over one hundred bales. The low lands have all lost their crops-first by the rains which prevented picking, and then by the flood. deluging the fields. Returning by thme same river early in the present month, (January) the waters were not at all aba ted, but were even higher than when I went up." Death of Judge Purter.--The New Or leans papers of the 19th inst. announces the death of Alexander Porter, U. S Sen ator from Louisiana. He expired on Sat urday.13th. The Picayune says-- ln the death of a man of the stamp of .Tudge Porter, a whbole nation sustains a toss. He was eminent for his forecast ; be was sober and wvise in deliberation, and prompt and determined in action. No man breathed who was more sincerely devoted to the best interests of his country. The State of Louisiana was his pride. To it he brought commanding talents, disinteres tedness of purpose and a zeal for the cause of human rights kindled int another clime and inflamed by political persecution and domestic bereavement, in the counci-le of his adopted -counury, he was eminent for his wisdom, his eloquence and his purity of character. But those only who knew, him in his social relations can fully appreciate his loss. In his manners, Judge Porter, was most biluad and elegant ; his conversa tion was most affluent of instruction, and overflowing with wir, and playfulness ; his friendships were ardent and abiding, ad to his kitndness and benevolence there were no limits. When such 'a man dies. to wveep is no longer weakness. Tears of affection will be shed for hita in his na. :ive isle, whose stil was ensanguitned by his father's blood ; here, our regrets will assume a more sombre hue, ror we murn the loss of an upright judge, a senator and a stnaman. U. S. Mint.-Dr. Patterson, the di'ee for of the Mint at Philadelphia, says: "The whole coinage in the United Sti e during the past year amounts to within > small fraction of $11,000,000-and ex ceeds by more than one half, that of an3 former year. Of this- coinage more thar $8.000,000 is in gold-exceeding by nearly $7,000,000 that of the six preceedinl years. A Proposed Competition with the U. S. Fost Ojice Establishment.-T he Philadel: phia Inquirer says that a company has been formed with the object of establish ing lines for the transmission of letters ai cheap rates of postage throughout all parts of the Union. It is proposed that the high est rate for single letters, not weighing more than half an ounce, shall he six. and a quarter cents to any part of the country, while envelopes will he sold at a lower rate-twenty or trore for a dollar. The persons engaged in this enterprise contend that the laws of Congress prohibiting pri vate mails are unconstitutional, and they are anxious to have them tested on this point as speedily as possible. Lysander Spooner, Esq., a gentleman of Worcester. Massachusetts, is understood to be a prin cipal in the enterprise. A Newe Abolition Move.-It appears, by a letter in the Norfolk Herald of Wednes ay last, that the Abolitionists of New York have had Captain Powell, of the schooner, Empire, arrested on account of -eturning to Virginia to deliver up two Hlaves, whom he found secreted on hoard tfter he had got to sea on his passage to New York. Mr. Powell has been held to sail in the sum of $1.000, toanswer to the ,harge of false impr;sonment of James D. [a ;e, the steward, who secured the ne ,roes on hoard. Lane was arresteel on he return to Norfolk, and after having >een tried, was sentenced to serve- out a erm of years in the State penitentiary, for he felony of decoying slaves from the states. He is still in prison.-Balfimore un. A Terrible Calatty.-We learn from he St. Louis Reporter, that on Wednes lay, 3d inst. about midnight, the steamer 3heperdess, from Cincinnati. struck a nag in Chhokia bend, nearly three miles elow St. Louis, and sunk immediately. rhe boat listed suddenly, precipitating nany of the passengers, who had reached he hurricane deck, into the river. The toilers then rolled over the larboard side. vhich caused the boat to right suddenly, eparating the hull from the cabin, which loated six or seven miles down the river. ['he weather was intensely cold, and a arge number of passengers. estimated at rom 40 to 60, were drowned or frozen to leath. About 150 have been saved. The oat was purchased at auction. in Cincin ati,-a short time ago, by Capt. Howell, ar $3,000. It is not known here whether he was insured or not. This was tile first rip the steamer has made since it was par. hased by Captain H. He was drowned. C'he boat and cargo will prove a total loss. ;ome of the trunks and other effects of tassengers have been saved. Distrajefu.-A curious scene, the astshington co:respondent of the N. Y. inn says, took place there in counexion vith the rejection of Mr. Henshaw. About alf past seven, an alarm was raised that he navy yard was on fire. Crowds rush d thither, and found that it was only an norttous bon fire that had been -made by he discharged workmen at the yard, out f joy for the the reject io-i of Mr. Hen hew by the Senate; anid soon afterwards fire engine was dragged through the treets, on which was a man cryitng not 'Three groans for Henshaw," and then he egan scrapitng ont a fiddle. anid staying,' 'Get out of the way, old David Hetnsha w" vhilst the mob laughed, shouted, hooted, nd madle atll sorts of cries and noises. It aised quite an excitement for an hour or wvo. Whlatever may have been the feel ng against M.r. Henshaw, this was a very lisgraceful mode to exhibit it. Bishop Soule.-This reverenid of the ~lethodist ,Church, now in the 45th year if the itineracy, is the second oldest of its flcient ministry itn the United States. He s a member ofthe Mississippi Conference, md wvhen he commenced his labors, this .tonl'erence embraced the whole Mississip ii valley from the Alleghany to the Mis issippi. There is now in the same bonn ary thirteen conferences.

Mlany bushels of the tnaterial taken 'rom it have overgone $200 to the bushel md some as high as 8500. We see it sta ed in -the Mecklenberg Jeff'ersonian that 1,876 cwt. of gold had been taken from tby seven hands about a month since. is might be expected in so small a vein, he water soon bocamne unmanageable, tad they began again at the surface, anid itruck a vein parallel to the first, and tearny as rich as that.

Music, 8tc.-The heavy rains have massed off--the mighty waters, which bhreatened to inundate a part of the city, anve assuaged, and the beautiful banks of he noble Savannah. are in possession of he ttrbufent stream-mhe roaring winds inve died away. and now only murmur in ~entle and pleasing sounds-stern wvinter has borrowed a few days from spring, to :heer up those who have been skeered ately-thbose organ grinders! whose 'Toot.

And now the frmgs are croaking all around us with a vengeance; and will continue so, until Old Whiter fit glasses over their peep boles.-Bamburg Journal. Auti-Biography.-We have had abhn dane of 'annlngies fr lives., sktesa of great men ; lives and opinions of eminen :politiciansi; posthumous notices or grea ipeis, and-the ohituary praises of the goo and pios; but Dickens himself would no be pleased at the brief history of a mat by the name of Hope, who resides in Penn sylvania; written by himself. He says : "As I have often read-in the papers a great men being praised for their grea deeds, I think -1 have a right to -tell whal I have done. First-I was five years a teamster, three years a constable, nine years a justice of the peace; seventeen summers I was a lime burner; nineteen winters I taught school ; twenty-seven years a commissioned oflicer, from lieuten ant to major; thirteen years I was lock tender oih the Leheigh -Canal Lock, No. 46; and I am father of ixteen children, namely: ten sons and six daughters; and the best of my story isal have quit drink ing liquor. I as born in 1799." Legal Righs of Women.-The Alaba ma Legislature has taken this matter into serious consideration. A bill has been in troduced, securing to married women the property belonging to them at the time of marriage. By this bill. if passed into a law, they are permitted to purchase property in their own names, but the hus band is entitled to the use of the property and exercise control over it In case the husband is insolvent, then the property pf the wife is bound for the maintenance of the family but no Ibrther. HYMEIIIAL. MAR RIED. On Sunday evening the 21st inst., by J. G. Danell, Esq., Mr. JOAB KILOR.CASE, to Miss SELA, youngest danghter of the late Mr. John Bailey, all of this District. OBITUARY. Departed this life on Friday night the 12th inst.. Mrs. STATRA WATSON. wife of Mr. Le roy Watson. ofAbbevill District. S. C.. after a painful illness of taht few hours. Sa hastily did death exeruto his work, tat the deceased had not time to express the sentiments of her mind before her spirit had fled. Yet surely. the death of those who live the life of the right. eoUs, is precious in the sight of the Lord. For thirteen years previous to her deah. she had been a pious and devoted m-mber of the Church ofChrist. Exemplary in. !l the rela tions of life; other it may be truly said, that she walked worthy of he-r high and holy cal ling. Buried in Christ in Baptism. she evinc ed to ell, by her upright deportment, that she had, indeed, risen to newness of life. At an hour we looked not far it, when, to human ap pearance, it was most necessary she should live; when surrounded by all that endears to life, and for which it was desirable to live, she was called home; herhusband, eight surviving children of tender age, and'numerous relatives and Christian friends left to bear and mourn their irreparable loss. Such are the inystu rious dispensations of God's providence. But, "shall not the judge ofaill the earth do right 1" Her friends sorrow not as those who are With out hope ".Blessed are 'ilie dead which ilie in the Lord' front henceforth-: Yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors ; and their works du follow-them."
