From the H:F' y atmosphere, the te-perature of which is above that of 75 deg. Faren= heit. Although clothes, when properly applied are productive of no diseast-. yet as people never take cold while they are naked, when every part of the body is exposed to the same temperature, clu thing must be regarded as the cause of such diseases as arise from iheir use. 2. Clothing being a slow conduct or of heat, causes the sensation of warmth when applied to the skin, by retarding the passage of caloric (the cause of heat) fiom the surface of the body outwards. Diy air is also a very slow conductor, and will more especially act is clothing while it is kept at rest by any means, as it is when diffused amonst dawn or wad ding, or between layers of fabric. 3. Air set in motion conducts the heat from the skin faster than ait re maining at rest. 4. Wet clothing is a quicker conduc tor of heat than that wvhich is dry. Muis t air conducts faster titan, drv. .5. The diseases spoken of are caused by the applicartion of hteat or watrmth to a greater part of the surface~ of the body, wvhilst a smaller part is lef t exp)osed to a colder temtperature ; the ensuing disease arising solely from the inequality of the appl ica tion. 6. A ny part of the surface of the body cant be inured to bear. with dimpinished risk, a temp)erature different from what the other patis, for the time bt.ing, are expiosed to. But some parts are more intractable in educating or iming than others, the cannium especially, wvhich nature seems to have' designed to be kept wvarmtet tha'n the rest of the body, by clothing it herself. Such part of the~ body as has been educated with a thick ttr covering thant the rest, it is more dan gas ous to uncover. 7. A coild taken in a diseased part is far more dangerous than one taken in a htealhby part. 8. No person will cake cold by expo, sure to any sudden alteration in the temperature of the atmosphere, however gteat or small, provided the principle contained in the foregoing maxims be followed. A person maty, in general, 'consider himself safe, if he feels the attack (not intolerable) of either heat or cold, on every part of his body alike, however sudden. A common cough is usually the resulb of clothing the person very warm, all excepting the head, for which reason one is usually safer without a surtoufi than with onte. To bring on a hip complaint, or a rheumatismt iin the back, dress warm, diet full, withe 'i "-pepper,.alcohol, an other sim . ilst under the efIct of this trealm and in a free perspira tion, remove etaii part of the dress and sit'on-a=' colool.

The morning came; in obedience to his wishes, one of the men went up to awake him, when it was discovered that the sprightly, jocose. noble spirited Mi chael was a lifeless corpse! A jury of inquest being summoned, it was satisfac turily proved that the prescription was for fifteen grains sulphate "morphine," a dose sutticient to have destroyed the same number of men. I t is stated, also, and generally understood that the doctor "intended" to prescribe "quinine," but unfortnnately made a most lamentable mistake. It is rumored that an effort was made by certain members of the jury to keep the proceedings as much as possible from public view; and that some of them r..fused tn r'rlate any of the circumstan ces which transpired thereon. This inquest was called for no other purpose than to evoke all the facts of the case, and when those facts were obtained, it was equally due to the physican as to the public, that they should be promnul gated. Few physicians have ever enjoyed a higher degree of conf'dence than Dr. Thomas. His skill is unquestionable. His error has proved fatal. To-day I have heard of one or two other cases, within a few years, which might have proved equally disastrous, had not the apothecary detected thenm in time. From the Charleston Mercury. OUR NEXT GOVERNOR. Who sthalh stucceedtbe worthy incum bent of this distinguished station has scarcely as yet beeb monted in the State, Is it not time that our citizens should direct their attentione to this question1 Have they no opiniion or wish.concern ing it '1 Shall -we continlne to allon cliques and wire-pullers to.gratify theis selfish purposes, and mnisrepresent the sentiment of the people? For s'evera years the entire subject -has been .com mnitted to our Repieeoatives, withoni a word being expressed by. their consti tuents. This is unwrise, as well as im: politic. It has generated evils, o which few have formed an'accurat' judgment. Thefadmitted tests of fitnes: for the Qffice of Chief Magistre havy been practicallyebjected. For thesa liave been submitted" the log-rollin d system, the influence of wealth, ant s mo. turtle soup and champagne. Shal - this sreputable state of things be al lowed to continue ? There cannot be but one answer to the question. s The post of Governor of South Caro lina is one of great distinction, which should be conferred by the spontaneous I will of the sovereign power. To know, therefore, who the candidates are, in I order to a full and free discussion ol their respective merits, the people should demand. While several gentle, men have been privately spoken of as fit and proiier persons for t'ie Guberna torial'chair, the names of three only have appeared in the public ptints. Majer Eaves recently has been announc ed in one or more of the np-rountry papers. This is also true, I think, of Judge Richardson. The lion. White matsh B. Seabrook has been nominated in the Abbeville and Laure"ns journals, and more recently by public meetings in the Parishes of St. John's Berley and St. Stephen's. If there be other candidates, it is tht!ir duty as'well as that of their friends no longer to conceal their names from the public eye. No good to the communi ty, nor to themselves, can result from pursuing such a course. Are they un willing to submit their qualifications and claims to the judgment of the peo ple ? Do they rely for success on party machinery when the Legislature shall have assembled. This 1 do not believe. ThE private character of every one who has been mentioned in connection with the Govetnor's Office, forfeits the supposition. A PLAIN MAN. Encouragiig to Grain Growers. We are pleased to learn that two ex tensive Msierchant Mills are about to be :rected in this city for the manufact.uro art of its im tl i, price.. .. . ^d;'r"d v--r producion ~f Cottoi, . ...:s exporting F )ir both by vat'r a1,4 Railroad from this city, amd the ttrgent necessity tur diversifj ing t.he agriculture of the State, we can not but regard the erection of these mills as indicating the beginning of an auspicious change in its rural industry. Nor do we dotbt that our plunteis *vill piomptly meet this now demand for Whieat. Of its culture we will speak at length i'n a few days. In the city of Rochester, last week, saw farmers receiving a dollar and a quarter a bushel for this great staple of Genesee valley, and happen to know that more money was collected for tolls on the Erie Canal dmting the second week in September than in any other week since it was completed in 1825. They ate now making in Rochester a considerable amount of kiln dried corn meal far foreign consump'ion.

From thec Laurensr'ille HIeralJ WHERE SYM\PATHY IS NEEDED. To judge from the case reported in the Northcrn papeis, one would sup pose that the abolitionists might find at home, ample room for the displaty of th:delicate sensibility, generosity, and philanthropy, of which they pr,.fess to have so large a supply. But like rho sensitive fair one, whlo repulsed a star ving woman from her door with "Go to the Poor house if you need assistance, you worthless vagabond," whilst her eyes were suffused with tears of sym% pathy, at the fictitious sufferiings of a hero in a Ro,m.ie-these would be saints, can only be affected by imaginr ary miseries. Like the Phanisee in Set ipture, the A bolitionists, thahik God that they are not as other man-anid strive-to piuck motes out of othters eyes, whilst the beam p' selfishness) is so large in their own ,,es,as to blind then). -Surrounded by real objects of charity, by mien, women, and children, steeped I to.thie lips in misery, wretchedness and -destitution-they neither see, not aid ithem.: And with a poor widowed white -woman, dying* with starvation on theit -door steps-hcy .sit ia their snug par. Ilors and sigh over the suffeirings of the Spoor African.- The pitied one menn~ Sw hile, sufering from the immense et* Sertions he has just made in "hoeing i id own" to the time of Lucy Long-ot , ,,,,.sted by he ininteablo ,.uflan I and horse langhs he has induldge in; o' i perhaps dist,essed, because the capacity of his storach will not allow him to consume more than half of his allowy ance, and he is obliged to forego the pleasure of longer feasting. Who ever heard of such a case as the following, or any thing liki it--occuring in the South. Wo clip it froma late No. of N. Y.Sun, ;id, so common are such cases that from the Northern press, they scarcely produice a rrmark: THE POOR SEAMSTRESS. "A poor creature was found wander ing about the streets of the third Ward on Tuesday night. When taken to the Station House she stated that she Work ed at makingshirts for a firm in William street. .She received six cents each, but was forced to find her own thread, and being unable to pay her rent from the miserable pittance given her, she, with two small chiidern, had been turn rd into the street. Some Phlanthro pists took charge of her and relieved her immediate necessities." The folloving note, which we find in the National Intelligencer of Saturday, explains itself: DETROIT, Sept. 9. To tihe Editors ofthe National Ite1 ligencer; I notice in your paper of tie. 5th in stant an article addiessed "to the South ern States," the burden of which is tb prove that Gen-.

Naah.-T his veteran - of the New York Press, and distibgulsh .-d m-mber of the Hebrew faiti, he ad dressed a series of-letters to Russell Jar vis, on the subject of Slavery, and Free Territory, which appear in the N. Y. True Sun. From one of these letters we present the following characteristic extract. "It is not for men to arraign the de crees of the Almighty, or to dispttte. His divine will; nor has man a tight to establish a higher standard of morals than that which he has authorized and instituted. A trancendental religion and philosophy may construe the Bible as their wvishes and professions may dic late, and subs'iture lawvs and ordinances of tbeir own, but I belong to that race chosen as witnesses by the Almighty of' His unity and omnipotence, and have rno other guide thtan the Bible, in its plain and palpa ble meaning, and there we find Slavery recognized, and hu% mianely regulated.
