A Legal Decision.-An action was brought some time since, according to at English paper, against a person-to recov er damages on account of his dog having worried some sheep belonging to a neigh bor. It appears in evidence there were two dogs engaged in this predatory excur sion, only one of which belonged to the de fendant, his counsel submitted whether his client could beheld liable, as it was doubt. ful which animal was the criminal. The Judge held-that even if one was the prin cipal. the other oere ascessory and there fore both woereliable. They were conjoint trespassers, and thorefore liable jointly and severally. It was a remarkable circum stance said his Lordship, but it was well known that dogs agreed -together to go out upon these marauding expeditions. Ver dict for the plaintiff'. New Invention-Mr. B. Vaden, of Bal timore has invented a hinge for window shutters, of an entirely new style, which will enttially throw out all of the old fash ioned oncs now in use. They are designed to be stronger than the hinges ordinarily used, and are so constructed that when the -shutters open a small pin made for the purpose, will effectually prevent the shut ter from being blown about by the wind, and when shut the insertion of the same pin into the hinge prevents the shutter from being opened. It can be furnished as cheap as those in ordinary use, besides which the cost of the fastening to the wall to hold the shutter back, as well as the cost of the bolt or spring is saved. The necessity of protruding the arm out of the window to fasten the shutter back, is also avoided. Short Cuts.-It has already been satis factorily demonstrated that the canal across the Isthmus of Darien will shorten the pas sage to China many thousand miles, and give as access to the pacific Ocean in a short passage. The same disposition to - encouroge short cuts should enable travel ers to reach India without doubling the Cape of Good Hope, in half the time by crossing the Deserts of Suez. It appears that the Oriental Steam Company have divided seven per cent by their enterprise, and have a surplus fund of ?44,800 ster ling, which may be used to improve the navigation of the Red Sea, as well as to build a better line of Steamboats than those now employed. We consider it a settled point that all despatches from India will come overland hereafter-the great interest which England has a stake in the East re quires the most prompt mode of comimu nication. The Red Sea, which centuries ego was the only highway of travel and commerce to and from India, will now be carefully surveyed, and depots for coal and merebandize established. The entrance at Babel-Mandel, not always safe,' will will have Beacons and Lighthouses. and the overland trade will be greatly in creased.--N. Y. Sun. EDGEFIELD C. H. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1844.

The Weaher.-We liave been favored with remarkable mild weather for the last two or three weeks, which has brnight forth blooms upon. fruit trees that are warm situations. Our planters are busily ongaiged in breaking up their grounds, with, at present, the pros pect of an early spring. l1JWe call the atention of ourr readers to the communication in this day's piaper, over the signature of "TuRKEY CREEK," upon the subject of the Governor's election. :The writer, we feel satisfied, speakwr the language of the great body of the citizens o'f this District, upon that all important mat ter, and justly points out causes enough to produce an alteration in out Constitution, that will not only give to thes peo pIe, their right upon this p)oint, but upon various others, that under its present form they are de prived of. We have a hope, that the subjec1 will be agitated in every District in the State, previous to the comning fall election, and should it be the wvill-of the majority, that their repre sentatives may be instructed accordingly. 117A writer in the Charleston Camier, ovet *the signature of " Many Republicans," ex pres ses a wish that the Hon. F. W. Picken., and the.Hon. F. H. Elmore, who were appointed /Delegates, upon the part of the State, to the Democratic National Convention, wvould, rjom that M1r.

Feb. 24, 8& a 10 eta Hambtrg, " 20, 8j a 94 Augusta, " 22. 8 a 9f Columbia, " 22, 84 a 91 The Charleston Mercur'y of the 24th -inst. says, upon the authority of the N. Y Herald, that "the sales ofcotton during three weeks be fore the departure of the Hibernia had amount. ed to near 250,000 bales, and though this was principally upon speculation, it appears that the manufacturers too~had shared in the excite ment and purchased considerably beyond their weekly consumption. The stock of American cotton in Liverpool was reduced to within about 100,000 bales of what it was last year. "' It will be a grave matter to holders on this side to determine what they shall now do. We cannot but consider the further accumulaion of the crop in our ports as to some extent haz ardous. At present a general disposition to ship, would probably be attended with an im mediate rise in freights, and the longer the ac. cumulation goes on the greater will be the rise at last. And notwithstanding the acknowledg ed shortness of this crop, there is even now danger of its pressing on the next, to the injury of the planting, as well as the commercial in terest. On every account it seems to us that present prices should be surtained, and the crop allowed to go forward." 07 The Whigs have succeeded in electing the whole of their Congressional ticket in- the State of Maryland. 11T Burns, the murderer of Capt. Collier, is in the prison of Augusta, where lie will re main until June, when his trial will come" on before the Superior Court. Altered Bills.-The Charleston Courier of the.22d inst. says: " We were shewn yester day, a one dollar note ofthe Bank of the State, which had been ingeniously alte red to a five, by pasting the letters and figures offire over one, in several places on the face of the note. A mong a number of bills, the deception would not be observed perhaps, but if held up to the light, face outwards, the original letters :and E. gures are at once legible. "We learn, also, that South Western Rail Road Script, of the denomination of one dollar are in circulation altered to three-and the $14 to $j. The public should be on their guard, and detect the imposition." Texas.-The N. O. Republican contains the following paragraph, in confirmation of the ru mors and assertions respecting the annexation of Texas to the United States. We are a little jubious of the truth of the statement, but are not able, from any information in our posses. sion to contradict it. " Since the above was writlen, we have re ceived the following particulars in relation to the negotnation of the treaty for the annexation of Texas to the United States. The source from which we h-ave derived thema, is entitled to the utmost confidence. Early in January, a resolution was offered simultaneously in buthi Houses of Congress of Texas, favor'able to its annexation to the United States. In the Senate it passed unanimously; and int thelower House, out of 40 members, 36 voted in its favor ; 2 vot ing against the resolution and 2 declitning to vote st all. The result wassimmediately trans mitted to the Executive of the United States. Upon its being laid before the United States Senate in secret session, thte actiotn of that body was in favor of annexation by a vote of 40 to 9. A treaty was thereupon drawn up and immne dlately forwvarded to the Collector of this port, with instructions, should there he no immediate conveyance, to forward the despatch by ex press with the least possible delay. ,The docu ments reached here one day previous to the last sailing of the Neptune, and by that vessel was forwarded to the care of our charge d'af faires, (sen. Murphy. theni at Galveston, wvho, upon receiving it, imumediately sent it by ex press to the Texan seat of government, mn the hope that it would reach there before the ad journmnt of Congress. In this, however, he was disappointed. However previously to ad journment, they passed a joint resolution au thorising President H-ottston to confirm the trea ty. Therefore the next news we may expect to hear from that quarteris. that President Hous ton has issued his proclatmation calling Con gres together to ratify the treaty, in case the Constituttion does not give him the necessary power." For the Adwertiser. Mr. Eom-oa.-There seems to be some inter estmanifested in several sections of the Smate, uponr the next Governor's election; and the present occasion furnishes a suitable opportuni ty to of'er some remarks upon the proper mode of electing a Governor. b'everal gentlemen of high and dewerv-tng character have been pre sented to the consideration of the public, each one having attainments that would etninently qualify them for the high ofieof a Governor. Amidst the conflicting claimas which have been set forth in favor of each of the gentlemen, the enquiry is awakened, how shall we justly de termine the relative merits of each competitor ? It will be conceded that the Governor-elect should be the choice of the majority of the vo ters in the State, that lhe should go into the Gubernatorial Chair with the undouhted testi mony of the strong sanction of popular desire. The present mode ofeleting our Governor by the Legislature, has not in all instances fulfilled this just expectation of the people. It may be said, however, with deserved justice, that South Carolina has been truly fortunate in securing to her service niany of the noblest and moat talented of her sons, who would have been sus tained by the unquestioned sanction ofa popu lar vote; provided that right had been extended to this question, aniL f'ord eachamiralit idil and' equitable decisin fti ftis merits, epio pose'that this election '"'iiiild-go-directly hibe foe-the-people. It iWbefore'tis tribunal that' the claims of'each competitor shouldbeU i eelg canvassed and 'discussed. and the successful candidate having the evidence of.thekLnown preferences of the people, would go into of fice with that confidenceind protd-saftisfactiof, which is so pleasing to. all the hobler sensibili ties of our nature.. It-is duo-to the people, that their choice for the highest office in the State. should be known directly. -ie profess to be a Democratic State, and why, not let.the prrm. ary offices go to the people, which is the es sence of Democracy.. The perpemuity of our Government depends upon the.virttie and af fections of the people; and there can -be no in fluence which can more certaily command this attachment of the people to tiheir government, tfian a proper enjoyment of the high and just right of voting for those who fill the highest of fices. It may be said that the tendency 'of this principle will serve to excite bitter party feel. ings, and organize the State into a settled de termination to effect every thing by party, rather than upon principle. That it would destroy that harmony and concord which is so desirable to all classes of society. This reasoning would strike at the very foundation of a free and de mocratic government ; because it is made upon the presumption that the people are iucompe tent for self government ; that the priviledge of voting for his excellency the Governor is not to be committed to the common intellects of the. humblercitizens of the country. We maintain that there should at all times exist as intimate and direct a connection between the people and their representatives as practicable ;' this. enforces a strict accountability, and servesto correct all unjust measures, and restrains the inclination to extravagant appropriations. We entertain a belief that a proper enjoyment of the elective priviledge conduces to the purity and perpetuity of our government.; cicheck. the invasions of the ambitious,-by removal from office; it takes out of the hands of the vicious and extravagant, the means 'whichdamipr their indulgencies. It will be rcadilypeieive4; that a higher estimate of our country ad itsin~ stitations, and of the inestimable value of liber. ty would.;pervade all classes of society. 'Ou'r government is one of voluntary association; and demands from all incessant vigilance :to maintain its peculiar characteristics; it is the policy of Aristocracy, and all those opposed to a Democratic government, to separate the peo pie by insidious advances and gradations, from a proper control over their government and 'its officers; this is exhibited in the enactment of indirect measures, which are the undoubted instruments of disguised tyranny, and have for their purpose an unjust exaction, which -would not be submitted to. if their. odious character was exposed. In the proposition to give the election of the Governor to the people, we are sustained by the example of nearly every State in the Union. It further appears to us, that it w ould be advantageous to the public in terest, that the powers of the Governor might. with propriety be enlarged, and the tenure of his office should extend to four years, or re-eli gible after the expiration of two years, this would give time for the completirf of any sys tem of measures, which his wisdnm might sug gest, or the wants of the country require. We are glad to see you Mr. Editor, manly assum ing the position we have endeavored to main tain, and we assure you of the cheerful sup port of 'I'URKEY CREEK. Ytom the Miacoin Democrat.

"Trhe Jerusalem Artichoice hss beero in troduced and successfully groivi in this dis trict by James Gunnin, Esq., who resides nine miles South of Anderson on Generos tee creek.

Editors friendly to agricultural inklrove ments,, are requested to copy or notice this publfication. A Lotve Afair.-Quite a retnanric af fair occurred recently at New Orleans. arising out of the tender passion. A Dr. Mackay courted the daughter of Judge Story of that city. The lady gave .her consent to the union, but the father said. nay, and the pair started off in a carriage, privately to Lafayette, to get 'spliced. On the road they met the lady's brother, who attempted to stop them, but was pitched in to the mud by the driver. The next obstacle with whtich they came in colhission was not so easily got over, be ing a heavy dray- and they were pitched into the mud. As one of the horses was* k-Wed, the carriage smashed, and the Jehu "knocked into a cocked hat," the lovers had to take to their personal powers of progression. and they trudged back to N.. Orleans through mud and rain, in the hope of finding an up river steamboat to bear them to bliss. They found one, and em barked, hut the family heard it, chartered another boat, and at the last accounts, the two steamers were 'goig it' up stream, at a boiling gallop, while, the citizens 'on shore were giving and 'taking odds on. the ,'tEo.

It appears as if mankind, by.comrmon consent, have agreed td make.ase of phrasesto which noinean ing should be attached, ' In onr fasiona le. circles we-hear continually such pltra ses as, these, "[am delighted to see you: I hope you will honor us often with your company." Though while saying thisf. they wish the agreeable.visitor inHeaven or hell, or some such place.

If a gentleman asks a friend for a favor, the reply will gener ally be, "nothing would dfiord me greater pleasure than to serve you," but certainly some excuse. People are trying hard to polish them selves out of their veracity. But if they would consider that there -is not a more shining virtue in the whole catalogue of social virtues, than veracity, they would soon mend their conversation, and only say what they mean. Plato says, there is nothing so delight ful as the hearing or speakingof truth; For this reason, there is no conversation so agreeable as that of the man of veracity, who hears without any intention to betray, and speaks without any intcntion to de ceive. However, our forefathers in this respect have been no better, and an English preacher in one of his sermons makes use of the folloning language: "The dialect of couversation is now a days so swelled with vanity and complitnents, and so sur feited of expressions of kindness and res pect, that if a man that lived an age or two ago, should return into. the world again, he would really want a Dictionary to help him to understand his own language, and to know the true intrinsic value of the phrases in fashion." Had Dr. Johnson lived lung enough, we might have been in possession of such a Dictionary, for he ad vised us not to interpret a young ladles no by his English Dictionary. To comfort my readers, and to convince them that our forefathers were no better, I will subjoin a letter, said to have been written in Kiug Charles I. time, by the Ambassador of Bantum, a little after his arrival in Eng land. Master. The people among whom [;now am, have tongues further from their hearts than from London :o Bantum, and thou knowest that the inhabitants of one of these places do not know what is done in the other. They call thee and thy sub jects barbarians because. we speak what we mean; and account themselves a civ ilized peopled becausethey speak one thing and mean another. Truth they call bar barity, and falsehood politeness. Upon my first landing, one who was sent from the King of this place to meet me. told me that he wasextremely sorry that I had met with a storm just before my arrival. 1 was troubled to see him grieved on my ac count, but in.less than three months he striled, and. was as merry if nothing had happened. Another, oho came with him told toe. that he should be glad to do me any ser vice that lay in his power. Upon which I desired him to carry one of my portwan taus for me, but instead of serving me ac eording to his promise, ha laughedJ and bid another do it. 1 lodged the first week at the house of one who desired nte to think moyself at home, arnd to consider his house as my owns. - Accordigly, I the nexi morning began ,4) knock downv one of the walls of it, in onder to lot int the fresh air, and hand packed up some of the househuld goods, of which I intended to have muade thee a present, but the false harlot no sooner sawv ins falling to work, th~an he sent worid to desire me to give oier, for ihat he would have no'suchu doitngs itt hisa house. I had not beepn long in the union before I was told by~iic, for whom I htid asked a great ra or fromu the chief of the King's servants. that> Iliad eternally ob liged him. I was sdjufrprised at ihis grat itude, that I could not forbear saying, what service is tirere which ora man cain do for anothjer, that c::n oblige h:at to at! eternit y! hlowever, I onily asked him. for my reward, thatyrhe wdtid lend me his eldest daughter during my: stay in this country, but I uickly round that hec wa' as treacherouis as the, rcst of his couatry men. At my first going to Court, one of the great imen almost put'mdant of coun tenance, by asking teni thousand grardone of me for only treading by ateJent upon my toe. They call this kind of lire a comn pliment, for when they arc civil to a great man they tell him ainirrth, for whieli thu.' would order any of thy officers of State to receive one thousand blows upon the~ soles of his feet. -1 do not kno* ho~w I shall negotiate any thinug with this people, as there is so little credit to be given to them. Thou wvouldst fancy that the whole nation are physicians, for the question thiey always ask is bow I do. I have thi, <juestion put to me about one thousand times a day. Nay, they are not only thus inuquisitive after my health, but wish it in a niore solemn manner with a full glass in their hands, every time I sit with them at table, though at the samne time they would pleasure me to drink their liquors, whichr I have found by experience will make me sick. They often pretend to pray for thy health also in the same manner, ,but I hate more reason to expect it fromn thid .goodness of thy Constituion,- than the sincerity of their wishes. -May thy slave escape in safety from this doutile-tonguedl race of men, and live to lay himself once more at thy feet in the Royal ity of .

Mr. TrMPERANCE Porn PAYs, departed this life on the 4th inst., leaving a bereaved hushand with fsur children, to regret their un timely los. She was born on the 13th of Oc tober, 1800,.and lived nearly 21 years with her husband. It is customary for. the living to fur nish tit obituary tribute of respect to the mem ory of their deceased friend, when such an event is marked by pectuliar circumstances. There is one consideration that would general ly induce ds to be silent on such an occasion, where no moral dud could be promoted, by fur nishing such a commtlnication. 'Time is short,' and the multitude is all hastening to the grave, and where no marked peculiarities of character distinguished the deceased, we cannot see any good purpose subserved, by-holding up all, in discriminately to notice. But, in our own pil grimage, when we see a friend, who has occu pied some notice in society, from his or her ele vated moral course, we like to bold up such a charactet to our view, as a beacon for our path; and a model for out imitation, hoping also that a spark diay by communicated, that williburn in some other bosom, which will likewise shed a light on society. Mrs. PAra discharged all of the duties and relations of life devolving upont her, in an eieniplaty and dignifed man ner. She was iddusttiuus and pttdent in the management of het domestic concerns; kind and courteous to her husband; affedtionately tender to her childred, admonishing them kind ly, and instilling in them the ptecepts of vir tie; and affable to her friends and neighbours. She ass circumspect in her general deport ment, and in iuipressing propriety and decorum pt'evailed over all her actions. The tongue was ito "unruly member" with her, and all her desires and passions appeared to be brought "into subjection." She was not disposed to speak evil of any person. A happy equanimity influencdd her conduct. No turbulence inter rupted her tranquility. She was quiet, unlpre tending and unassuming in her manners Cheerful, ingratiating and conciliating; she seemed peculiarly fitted; for smoothing down the asperities and rough incidents of life. The great lever that operated so happily in dontrol ling her actions was unseen to the human eye. Peace, yea a fall assurance ha dbeen imparted to her from on high. She felt that she was "the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelt in ier." She heeded the admonition, "give thyself, and bind on thy sandals,", by at taching herself to the Baptist Church at Fel lowship, un Ite 13th of August, 1831; since which timno she has continiued a reputable and pious maemiber. SIte had been lalboring studer the Liver co~inplaint for some years. She never became aeriana~ly indisposed by the disease, un nil a fee day before her deat. -As slie ap proached the ternlinatiatl of her earthly career, shec cast r "a longing lingeuirfg look behind." likea the Jews in ctiptivity "by'tite *ives of Ba by lon,"~ whe~n they -remembered Zion ;" hurt she looked for-ward to the New Jerusalem, where death wnld be "sdallowed up in vieto ry," and was heard to exclaim '-0, Heaven! Heaven!" She advis::d her friends and family not to grieve oni her account. She died as she hand lived with the same calm reflecting brow, anad tnqiuil features resting upon her 4onnte nance.
