Saxon. &, Miles'. book .store, anid after
aW wards stopped .to look at the prints in
Coleman's shop window, where a young
man accosted him as an old acquaintance.
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.

STOP THE MURDERER!
We yesterday receive-d the following
disclosure of a most attrocious. outrage.
We cheerfully publish the announcement,
with the hope that it may aid in bringing
the guilty to-jistice. 1r. 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

PREMATURE INTERMENTS.
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. Bee.

Dear Sir,-I arrived at.) , is place on
Saturdav last. 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.

The weather continues cold, and to
,row colder. We learn that last eveniog

The nights have become cool, and be

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

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

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

an the afternoon of that day, there was
