New York crrespondent of the Charleston Aercury, under date of the 17th ult. gives the followingnecount3f a terrible disaste' in the Whig camp of that city, on account of . The BoUs" making. its appearance among them at one of their jollfications, on the birth day of Henry Clay. We have never heard that Clay was good for the Botts, but we have always understood that "' Clay eaters" were ter Y ribly troubled with the "celing." " -Our wbig friends l:,ve fallen into consider ble difficulty within the last week. They had u glorificatio' at the Tabernacle on Clay's birth any. auid had Mr. Botts ofVirgmiia to speak for them, who accordingly did speak for some three hours, and said a great deal too truch. In the first place, lie claimed the success of the Native Americans, at our city election, as a Grand Whig Victory"-which was not the policy of the whigs; and in the second place, he came out openly for a National Bank-ano. ther point which they wish to conceal, Mr. Botts has by this means thrown his friends in to confusion. The voung. whies here are op posed to the Nativists and to a National Bank, while the old whigs are in favor of them, and the two are now fighting like cats and dogs.--The Comier represents the old party, and the Tri bune the'new ; the former calls the latter an in fidel and socialist, and the latter calls .the for mer " a bully, a blackguard, and a State Prison bird;" the people meanwhile looking on with infinite satisfaction: Of the combatants, how ever, the champion of the young men is vastly the most respectable. both as a man and as a politician, The whigs will not recover for a years from the disgrace of their amalgamation with the Nativists.' Query.-Would it not be well for the leaders of the Whig party, to recommend a copious use of Sage Tea, at their jollifications. in place of Hard Cider, as it is said to be a never failing remedy to cure the Bous." FOR THE ADVERTISER. To the Editoroftthe Hamburg Journal SIa,-In addressing you on the subject of Mr. Clay's opinions,- "we presumed you would eagerly embrace the opportunity offer ed you to furnish information as to his princi ples and remove the prejudices entertained by some of our citizens against him." This we understand you to decline doing, unless the in dividual who propounded the interrogatories will publish his name, That individual is a private citizen who does not desire newspaper notoriety, and therefore declines publishing his name But why do you desire his name? Would a knowledge of it alter your views as to Mr. Clay, or Mr. Clay's views as to the great questions which are now agitating the country? Suppose the questions had never been ask ed by " Carolina," would you not have been under the most solemn obligation, to those who read your paper, and look to it for correct information, to have explained to them what are the present opinions of Mr Clay. and what are the principles that will probably govern his administrattion? From what other source are they to derive their information, if not from thn newspapers that they read? i it not a duty that you owe to Mr. Clay. to explain bins prin ciples, and put him right before the public? We cannot believe, that you desire to hood 'wink the people, and by appealing to their prejudices, induce them to forget their prier plea. Such a course would be an insult to the State of which we are both citizens, and it is with a feeling of proud satisfaction that we as sert, that such a course would prove as ineffec tual, as it would be insulting. There is no State in the Union, in which the theory of tax ation, the Constitution, the forms and powers of our government are so thoroughly under stood as in South Car'olina. This state of things ham arisen, not fr-om any superiority ~'which our people originally possessed over the people of other States; but from the very able discussiorn which these questions tunderwent, immediately preceding our struggles with the Federal Government, in 1832, and subsequent to that time. Remnmuber the effect of the Whig mummeries of 1840 in our State. We remem ber it with pride. When we asked what prin ciples were to govern General Harrison's ad ministration, in the wvant of his election, we were told of his being a pout man, and living in alog cabin. We asked Mttr. Van Buren's friends what we had to expect from him, and Sthey at once answered fully, and apparently with frankness and candor. We supported him, though personally opposed to him. His -friends have not redeemed their pledges on the Tariff question. We, therefore, distrust him, and then the question now is, who shall we support in the ensuitng election ? You had declared yourself in favor of Mr. Clay. We desimed information as to Mr. Clay's opinions before committing ourseif to him, and therefore applied to you for it. It seems that -you are not disposed to furnish the information. Why, we cannot imagine. We do not wish to hear of the " Mill Boy of the slasher,"-the "Farmer ofC Ashland," and " Harry of the West." We have only to do with the princi ples which are to govern his administration. We believe that &tr. Clay once was a Mill IBoy-the name of his plantation in Kentucky is "Ashland,"-that he now resides on that -plantation, and is one of the wealthiest planters in that State. We know that his name is Hen ry-we' think it probable, that when a boy he was called " Harry," and-as he lives in the western country, we see no great impropriety in his being called by those who would he Ca. mnliar with him " Harry of the -West." We must admit, howeyer, that it smacks somewhat of demagogueismniand is, in'our view, so far Sobjectionable. We think such things in bad pir. Jefferson called '"Tom of the Mountains," though'he lived in the- montains of.Western Virginia; or to have-heard .his praises sing to. the tite of "-Clare de, ithen-:old. Firgine never tire." Nor, do .e:iiotr hear our own Calhoun called " N 'arinerinck,""or the "Mill Boy of Lang Cane." Wlio would not feelthat it was almost desecration thus to'designate this great political philosopber of the nineteenth century-? Whilst the Jurity of his principles. the loftiness of is patriotism, and the brilliancy of his genius, can :nekver render it necessary. that he. or his friends, should ever resort to uch vile means orcatching popular applause; his high personal character, moral elevation and dignified manners, will always secure hint from the. application of such epithets,'as can t not be agrenble to any one who has a proper respect either for himself or for our people. Butto return from; our-digression, we really 1wish to know Mr. Clay's views upon the points I suggested. We wish to know the opinions of i the Honorable Henry Clay, upon the great questions that are now agitating the country of that Henry Clay. who for the last quarter of 1 a century, has wielded more personal inflnence' with the exception perhaps of General Jack. son, in giving direction to the politics of this country, than any other man in it,-of that Henry Clay, whose inmense personal popular ity, powers of persuasion' and decision of char acter. will enable him, if elected, to save or ut terly destroy the South. -We'desire to know his opinions-will you give themeto us? We would add another to the questions we have already asked. What are Mr. Clay's opi nions as to the annexation of Texas? Should you still decline answering the inter. rogatories, will it be asking too much of yon. to request that you will publish this, and the questions contained i n our last-piece, in your useful Journal ? We trust. howover. that you will not longer withhold the information sought. We cannot believe that you-are supporting Mr. Clay with- e out knowing his principles. If you know them, I and they are such as should recommend him to s the people of South Carolina. why not pubiish I theta? If on the contrary, the principles of Mr. Clay and his party are such, as you know the people, of this State, will hold to be dangerous to liberty, subversive of the Constitutioniand destructive of our dearest rights: you will not, I am sure you cannot conceal them. CAROLINA. For the Advertiser. Mr. EDITOR :-The following little fragment i on Novel Raading, no doubt the impromptu et- I fusion of some idle moment, was stolen not long since from ayoutig lady'sscrutoiri. Should you think it worthy of a place in your columns, I take upon myself the responsibility of its pub lication. If it may have a tendency to inspire proper notions. and create a judicious taste, among your fair readers, in this most fascina- r ting kind of mental improvement,I shall feel myselfsufficiently rewarded for the risk I in in giving to the public an unfinished produc ttion, without the caseni of its antl er. Yours, &c. NOVEL READING. Opinion is not doctrine, and I call upon no one to acknowledge the suggestions which I i shall here make. rather fnom observation than experience, on the subject of " Novel Reading." It will not be presumed that Ishall lay down any dogmas on the subject. which has employ. ed the criticisms of some of the wisest of the age; but the field of discussion, though so long open, has never yet been won, and the few thursts, like a child playing with a giant's fea thers, which I shall wake, will certainly not decide the contest. Of the several motives, which induce people to read, the three mnoht prominent are, curiosity, instruction, and amusement. To the first of the-se, Novel reading is certainly indebted for its origin; but whether the two last purposes have been accomplished by the gratification of that early inspired passion, is yet to be deter- I wined by an investigation of the subject under consideration. In order to this, it would, per lhaps, be best to inquire into the nature of No uels. A general definition has been given of them. purporting that Novels arejictions or the truth dressed in fiction; but'to speak more to our present purpose. I would say, that Novels are dramatic representations of human nature, illustrative of the manners and characters of different ages and countries, and written with tl'e moral view of bring out the most fhvorable able light, the good and beantifli parts of crea tion. So far as they are copied from nature, they present lessons worthy of being studied, as we ate taught thereby, the various changes in the tide of human feeling-the causes which produces them-the manner in which they act -and the results thereof. We are, moreover, incited by the examples set before ns, to emu late excellences rendered so attractive, and to avoid inconsistencies, which are placed in so obvious, anid yet so degrading a light. The common error of Novel writers has been that of using the Painter's license, to cast an invisible and magic veil over the defects ofthe landscape; and hence arises the supposition that Novel readers look in vain ont earth, for that perfection over which they dream in Novels. I am aware, that the minds of somie, where warm iimaginia tion pieponderates over a weak judgment. have been inmred in this respiect by 'he superstitions romances and silly love tales of a former pe riod; bumt a standard NoveL of the present time is the censor of the age; and plac-ed in the bands of a discriminatinig reader, is an excel lent - critique" on mind and nmaners. Whilst thus urging that Novel are neither altogether useless nor unsafe, I will admit that their dreamy fas.:iiation and abstract tendency have sometimes acted, like the "ignisfatuus," in drawing the young mindl from the sober pathts of duty and science; but this defect htas been owing ton the natural weakness hefore mentioned; and it would be well if sutch per sons were taught to use them as a boy does his I whip and top, only as a relaxation from sterner studies. Thus used, they have been known toi produce on the mental a corresponding effecta which exercise on the phtysiqal system, giving a healthful tone and vigor to the mind. He who does not stop on the h~ill-side of science. to gath er a few flowers, miay reach the tolp sotoner, it . is true, but it will be with a rugged brow, and a care wvorn heart. Perhaps the light attractive guise in whichi Novels are written, is their best recommnenda tioni, innaniucli as they irmpart lesson~s of wig dow to the amusemnents of our leisure hours, just as in iovtng through a garden of flowers., we receive mastrtiction from the hee, and see a moral in the butterfly ; but their superior exists in searching the recesses of human thought, I and teaching us the arts by which its wvorkings may be discovered-by linking in-the chain of events the destmnies of men. and showing ns I their- mutual dependence and relations. Thought history teaches us how men hrae acted, Novels iprepare tus to anticipate how they weilL act, by illustrating the principles of action after the most fan-iliar demonstrations. It is not to be I denied, that there issome danger of forming too high an estimhte of man's nature by these re ly like spots on. the sun which do not impair his brightness; but this objection may be lost in that chiarity which enjoins, "biding -the rail:s we see;' and if nOut thus lostat least tog crated by the elevation of principle and refine ment of feeling itinspires, and by the perfection it supposes, ot'which human nature s capable. Novels, like theatric exhibitions, impart ideas ifgrace and elegance, and awaken the relish :f taste to the keenest sensibilities. A look, a word, a tone. a flower has its peculiar signifi :ance; but these is blending with it such drea ny fastidiousness,. so much ,abstract theory, hat the Novel critic, though the best oferities, .an scarcely be accounted for practical good ate, and yet for the formation of style and ianners, there is no better school. Here fancy nd imagination have worked up the materials iflenrning into.their most fascinating forms; Ind it-is just as notch' impossible for the sus eptible wind to pass through a Novel without eceiving an impression of its character, as it s for the sun to leave no trace on the opening lower. Thus reflection will be formed, and a ritical enquiry into the language and clarac ers instituted. which lead on to the proper up reciation of the beauties of a writer, and end a the imitation of his style. Thus we have come to the conclusion that 'iorels very well answer the three general pur toesof reading. though we would by no means ay, that they fulfil these purposes. Having poken or their influence nit the mind and man erc, it may not be amiss to say a word or two f their general influence. Perhaps I might be orrecting myself to say, that an ignorant per Ot should never read a Novel. But hence has risen the dangers ofits seductions, We must mnow Vhat Iruth is, ere we tamper with fiction, r. in other words. we must prepare our vessel "ith, judgment, ere we trust it on the sea of rnagmsation; to those, however, who reading or amusement. look upon Novels as the real nitations of human actions, honest, but mi. nic representations of hunmn life, and who, Iwelling on the beautiful and fair of nature, nd "Books in the running streams, sermons in stones And good in every thing." (ley are the beguilers of time-the poetry of etirement-and the incentive to benevolence ad virtue.

Yet we should place more reliance on the denial, but for the impression on our mind, that a few years since. he denied the power of Congress to establish a bank, or to lay a tariff for protection.-Pendle ton Messenger. Accdent.-We are informed that Mr. James Stewart of Anderson District, a man of 80 years of age who lived on the waters of Generostee creek, was killed accidentally on the 16th inst.

As the first of May is drawing near, when it is expected the proposals for printing the Permanent Temperance Documents will be returned to the Publisher of the Advo cate, with such names as have been obtain ed, it may not be deemed amiss at this time to urge all friendly to the publication to be active in obtaining the number of subscribers necessary to secure it. None can be deterred from subscribing for a work which will prove so generly useful on account of thelprice. it being but one dol lar for a volume of 500 octavo pages, in boards embracing the most important in formation-all that will be considered use ful to Temperance Lecturers, and those who are engaged in advancing in any way the glorious cause. The work will form a complete history of Temperance in South Carolina, and be useful as a book of refer ence, furnishing the most important Sta tistics connected with temperance. One thousaud subscribers at least ought to be obtained, and we hope this number will be forwarded on or about the first of May that the work may be put to press. A little exertion now among the friends of Tem - perance will secure the much desired ob ject.-Temperance Advocate. We copy the fallowing paragraph from the Boston Daily Advertiser of 16th in stant. "Bennett's Herald of Sunday contains a letter from Washington, in which it is asserted that there was an important rumor in town, "that there had been a letter re ceived in the city from Mr- Clay, in which he takes ground in favor of Texas." We have no doubt the rumor is entirely untrue. Mr. Clay on the contrary has expressed his opinion decidedly against the annexa tion." Troubles in Oregon.-The St. Loutis Republican says that letters have beetn re ceived from Oregon as late as the 20th of October. One letter says thtat the set tle ment had been threatened with an "Indian war," by a combination of three of the most powerful Indian tribes west of the Rocky Mountains, and although, when united and acting in concert, they are said to be abundatntly able to destroy all the Indians in the Territory, still, wtthout union, they may be cut off in detail. The letter continues: "We have also had trouble about land claims, and have the prospect, of course, of much more, as the country becomes more thickly settled. Under these circum statnces we have been obliged to forum a government of our own, and have accord ingly adopted the constitution and laws of the Terrifory of Iowa, with various alter ations and additions ; have chosen an Ex ecutive Committee of three: A. Beers, D. Hill, and J. Gale; a supreme judge, Russell:i a secretary of the Territory, G. W. LeBreton; justice of the peace, a high sheriff, a legislative committee, &c- &c.

A boy, ahout 15 years of age, who had. been from infancy afflicted with tbis deformity, was placed by his parents after many ineffectual efforts for relief, under the treatment of Dr. L. A. Dugas of our city. It was a singular case. The feet were turned inwards; the heel was eleva ted several inches from the ground; the soles of the feet turned upwards and backwards, and the whole weight of the body rested, when the boy waa,standing on properly, the outer side of the feet. .When moving, the labor of lifting one foot over the other, and the unnatural position in which they rested upon the ground, rendered the boy and object of commiseration to all who saw him. He was under treatment for several weeks. A successful surgical operation soon enabled the boy to place his feet in their proper position, and a piece of mechanism, which confined his feet for sev eral hours each day to this position, enabled him finally to move naturally and with al most perfect ease. We notice this the more readily as we understand it is among the first of such cases in which the treatment has termin ated successfully in our State. Augusta Constitutionalist. OBITUARY.
