S Mr..Gough did not at first recognize him, N butafterwards remembered that he had -orked with him several yeas ago, in b Methodist Book 'oncern- ' Tai is S-a fine new business you are engaged in,'.' -aid"the young titan. 'Yes it is new to me" answered Gough, -- but much hap pier and more congenial to my feelings than my old occupation, and I hope that you too are on the aide of Temperance" No, said the young muau- I can't go that. I take a glass once in a while when ~ ---I want it." ~ -~ Here Gouigh turned off anid went up Broadway but the young man followed, O and continued the converation, saying, inamong oteer things, (we do not presume A to give the exact words,) -' i suppose you Sare such. a great Temperance man that V -- youwould not take a glass' water with a friend." -Not so," replied Gough "I drink eoda water very often, and con ulder it innocent and refreshing." "'IThen tae a glass with me,"eai his ompan "ion. No I thankyou,".said Gough, " I don't wish lor any just now." The young man conanued to urge him, however, on the score of old acquaintance, and he fa 9 ally consented. They wentnear Tamp son & Weller's establishment, and turned to enter it; but seeing thaat it was crowd ed.the young man told. hm that they would find it driicult to be accominodated there, and he knew a better place close by He thea led .r. Gough rnund the corner, (as r. G. says) either of furray or Warren streets, to a place where the) obtained a coupleof glasses of soda wa ter, one of wbich Mr. Gough drank; so' hisJ suspicions were sligitly aroused by glances which- he thougn nis comnpaniou atercbanged with the keeper of the es tablishment. In the taste of the waier "e discovered nothing peculiar, but he very soon became giddy,-and as to what paused from that time to this, his recoi -lection appears very indistinct, aud his language inclerent. It s supposed that tbo young man did not accompany him h *any fartner. Mr. G. had considerable money with him, part of which augon; but his watch and other articles h-at on carried, is safe. lie is now at the house of G~eo. Hurlbut, Esq., in Brooklyn, ai here his wife is also stopping, and receives ev ery attention which his circumstances re quire. Udeer thratont of medicines, his system has been relieved of a consid enable quantity of laudanum. tr. Hayes obtained the infor-naton which led to his discovery,- from Messrs. Camp & Wilkes, of the Police Gazette. - In regard to what followed, after he drank the Soda water, until he wus re covered from his thraldom, there is a mys .tery vWhich is yet to be unveiled. From all we can learn, we suppose ne was du ring the whole time under the itifluece ot liquor; but whether it was dr-auk voluti tarily, or administered by force, and with what drugs accompanied, we know not. Evidently he has met with bad treatment eitherw from himself o- others. If from others, the whole affair must be prtobed to .the bottorn, and the authors of the villany condignly punished. If frm himself, his fall would seem, from the above account to have resulted from smine vile admixture in thie soda water which hereft him of reason and self control, and made him ga prey to his old, but lung suppressed ap peiite for strong drink. In eiher case, hie is much to be pitied. Even it he were the sole author of his misfortunes, and had fallen like Lucifer to rise no mor, there would still remain this consoling tact, that a good cause does not fall with those who profess and advocate it; and above all, does not depenid upon the constancy of any one individual. - Frorn the Charleston Courier. -T he Lexington .Couerfeiters.-W e published, in the Courier, a few days since. copied from a L-xingion (Ky ) paper, an account of th~e detection of a gang of coun terfeiters, in which it was stated that a - person named G.

Smith was a mornter of the Virginia Legislature, and was highly esteemed and beloved by. all who knew him: SUFFOLK, NANSEMOND Co., Virginia, Sept 14, 1845. To all Good 'Citizens: Hunter Hill, a man about 5 feet 7 to8 inches high, black hair. black eyes, flat face, down look, dark complesion, supposed to have a mole on his face, rather a good looking man, and a tailor by trade, murdered Maj.

He invited Mr. Smith out from the Wash ington Hotel, to speak with him, and s:ab bed him immediately over the heart with a dirk drawn from a -sword-cane-giving Smith no nutice or his intention 'to strike him-he ran rapidly of afier'striking the blow, and m;tde his escape belbre he could be arrested. Stmith died this morn iug at 9 o'clock, after givitig a full arco'uiti of the circumstatnces of the murder. ,t is supposed that Hunter has goie either to Gates or Northampton county, N.

We have, from time to time, written a number of articlen ott this subject, for the purpose of deonstrattng, by facis and ut htrities, the frequency with which per suns supposed to be dead are hurried to the grave, and the appallinig cousequetnces of such prema'ure inhuumation. We per ceive that the Paris correspondlent of th~e fourier.dcs Elats Unis, adds another in stauce to the melancholy catalogue. Last iiter, says the writer, a young and hatidsomne artiste died soddenly of a vio lent malady. .A young tman, wh'tom her death had thrown imto despair, was speak mug to a celebrated physician about her last moments, when the Doctor remarked that it was not uncommnon in such cases to mistake for death, what was only a long and deep lethargy. At these wtords the foung tman a as stricken n' ith terror. " If sheo were not dead ?"' exclaimed he, in agouy. But she had been b..rted the lpre ceding day, and imany and teditius .for malittes were requisite before p~rmission could be obtuined to ro -opeon'the grave. These were at last surmounted, the grave and colfitn were re-opened, .when the friendly (?) Doctor who occompanied the tretnbling. lover, said -- She in dead ; but not more than two hOUrs, for I yet feel the warmth about her heart." She had been buried two days! We sugg.ested ns' a retnedy for such horrors, the retention of the presumed corpse,.,until incipient decomposition com mences. But as this is liable to the ob jections arilsiug out of the oflensiveness of decay, and the harrowing 'of the 'feelings of the family, by beinig placed (which would happen in cold climates) many days in tha same dwelling with the dead body, a simpler, more agreeable and e qually elfectual plan is practiced in Ger many, by means of what is terased a mor tuary chamber. In other words, there is attached to every cemetery a hall~ where the dead remain sio time bcfore being cornmtitted to the ground. lo this hall the body 'neatly attired is laid upon a couch before the lips is placed a mirror which ihe slightest breath 'would cloud, and be tween the fingers a atring, which on the slightest movement causes a bell .in. the department of the keeper :to ring. 'This hallis visited ni);ht and day hourly by vigilant inspectors,- and it is stated.'- that not a year passes that the bell is not rung by one of the supposed corpses. Similar precautions should be allopted in every burial plac~e in America. Indis putable facts conclusively indicate their necessiy-N. 0.

Knowing y.'u feel and have a deep interest. in the' prosperity of our State, and from the 'l ning reports part of State, I have thougt,. you would be gratified to hear from the part I passed through. I travelled the Buncombe road. The effects of the drought became most apparent about forty mil s above Colum bia, in Newberry Distrit't; from thai to the Greenville line, a distance of fifty five or sixty mtiles, including as part of New berry. Laurens, and Spartanburg Districts, the prospect is indeed distressing. You will hardly see a corn field.but whai has been cut down. leaving. only the stalks whlich have nubbins on them. I should suppose the best have not more thatn <ne stalk to every ten remaining, and for the space of twelve to filteen miles I did ntot see a stalk standing.. Tie road, it is true. passes the i-idge which gives the worst view of the crnps. As to the Cotton crop1, the present crop of hulls on the stalks cannot be moure than one-fifth or one-sixth of atn average crop. Since the rain, however, which is but partial as yet. the stalk has takena a second growth, and with a very late fall, some of the young Cotton tiay tmature, hut this you knaow is very uncertain From the upper~ part of the dry region to this place, the corn crop is mostly good; buill there is great coin plaint, but comtipared with the country be low, there should be no complaint. Trhis is indeed a dark picture. but notwith standings I find all the people have re covered from the panic, and are cheerful anid feel satiafled that there will be "seed for the sower, and bread for tho eater." I am much gratified to see by the pa pers. that the Columbia Commercial As sociation was to have a mieeting to devise some platn to bring coin at the cheapest rate to the unfortunoie citizens of our State, rather than send them away among strangers to suffer, as they are doing in other parts of the State. I do think our papers should refuse to publish such ac counits- There is .too nzyuci enterprise and- fellow-feeling -among'our 'people to permit any citizen to suffef$Let -it ntt e said, that the loss of one crop would drive' the people from South Catolitna. I hope we are' not so dependant. Perhaps the object is to get rid of a certain class, but I fear matny good citizens have taken .the alarm, and of that class we have none to spare. RALEIGH. N. C., Sept. 12. The Crop.-We rejoice to learn that the Crops of Corn in this county, and several of the adjoining ones, will be fully an average one; indeed some of our I or mers have told us, that' tiey will make more of this grain this season 'than they have done for several preceding ones. The early corn .suffered greatly from the drought, and yielded very poorly; but the late Corn, owing to the propitious "latter rains,"' and the low grounids, will amply make up the deficiency of the early crops. By.a recent letter from Burke county. we learn that tileirtupland Corn has turn ed out wretchedly, but the low, land has yielded'very well, and they iviil be able to make enough for their own consumption and some to spare for their suffering eighbor counties.-Regiter. New Flout is selling at this market at 4 '50.. to $5 00; superfine. $5 50. and old'. Corn at $2.50 to $3 00 per barrel. This- does not look -much like sufferingr hereabouts for- bread -stuffs, at all events. - ' br :. The weather continues cold, and to ,row colder. We learn that last eveniog :tere was a severe frost in the neighbor og county. Cold weather has come upon as in a hurry.-Boston Atlas. The nights have become cool, and be dinning to feel like. winter. The dry weather has continued with the exception )f partial showers, and the streams are aearly or quite as low as at any time du ing the summer. The crop of corn and -otton will be very short in this part of ine ,ountry. Some fields or corn, we uder itand, have been gathered, and though nuch earlier than usual, the grain is quite Jry.-Pendleton Messenger. 19th inst. Wreck of the New York and Charles Ion Union Line Packet Ship Southport. yesterday's Northern mail, (which was of he evening of Monday) brought us the nelancholy intelligence of the loss of the ihip Southport, a little north of Baroegat Light House on Saiturday night last. We understand that there are no letters in town, either from the consignees or pas tengers, and glean the folloo in pariculars ron detached notices in the New York and Philadelpitia papers: The Southport belonged to Gen. Bulk - ey's line of packets, and left Ne -v York, on Saturday last, with a full and valuable argo of goods. and a considerable num ber of passengers on board, and went ashore as above stated, the same night. The passengers and ciew were all saved, and it is stated that if immediate assistance was obtained a portion of the cargo would be saved, but-in a damaged State. Early 3n Sunday morning, she had six feet wa er in her hold, and one account states that an the afternoon of that day, there was 3very prospect of her "eroming a perfect wrock.
