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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

Departed this life on Friday night the 12th

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

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

The depression is not owing so much to the

we hope will be better. Should the expected
