The following very spirited biogra )hical sketch of the deceased General, e copy from the Philadelphia Bulle in': Worth has been compared, and not njustly. to Murat. His handsome per. r on and his dashing courage.forcibly re- I ailed to mind, during the war with f lexico,'the Roland of Nepoleon's arn,y. I 'e.w American officers pamticipated in v hpayabattles--as-- Wortl,.none,'aper. 'i pst::-suelflfirat--man-mrrotU ictories. Prominently distinguished in d e war of 1812, then in that of Florida, p en under Taylor at Monterey, and a nally in the campaign against ilexi- u o, lie ran a career alike fortunate t nd brilliant, and one in which glory nd promotion followed hand in hand. ut alas ! just when the war was over, nd the time has come for him to repose n his laurels, lie is cut off by an igno le disease, in a paltry frontier town. r uch is human life. Such is the end of i artlhly glory. - Worth claims descent front one of the i arliest Puritan settlers. lie was born r n 1764, received a plain but substantial I ducation, and began life as a tailors, letk in Hudson, 1ew York. When t lie war of 1812 broke out he entered lie army as a private, but did not remain ong iii the ranks. A fellow clerk, who ad enlisted with him, having been plac- I d nider arrest for some indiscretion ipplied to Worth for advice, who under. ouk to write a petition for the delin pient, to the Colonel of the regiment. 'his officer happened t be Scott. Struck by the style und penmanship ofi he petition be inquired the name of theI witer, and in the inteiview whlich fol owed was so pleased with Worth's' anners, and soldierly and handsome erson, tilat he appointed him his pri ate secretary. Scott did not stop here. HG procured for W.orth a commission as Lieutenant in the twenty-thii-d re'gi rent ; and the merits of the young sub altern, joined to some good fortuite did the rest for htis advancemenit. Worth rose rapidly inideed during the wvar of 1812. At Chippgewa lhe distinguished himiself so highly that he was brevetted a Cap tain; at Lunday's Lane hie won the rank of Major, and if peace had not been declare~d immediately lafierward, he wvould-doubdless have advanced still further. After the peace WVorths was,-for some time, superintendent of the West Point Military A cadmoy. In 1821, after the etirement of General Armistead, Worth succeeded to the chief commuand in Florida, whmere he ha~d bcen serving, as second in rank, for about a year.- Am bitious of distinction, he sought every opportunity of bringing'the Indians to action, and though often disappointed finally succeeded. In recempense for his gallantry on this occasion, Worth was brevetted a brigadier general. When a' war with Mexico become probable, he was detached to Corptus Cristi, to join Gen. Taylor; and re tained wvith the General until just be fore the bat tles of Palo Alto and Re saca do la Palmae. Thme cause of his leaving camp, as it well known, was a difference between hi~n and Twiggut, growing: out of his brevet rank. He hastened to Washington, intending to esig n bu he war altered his decision, and canclling his resignation, he hurri ed lbk to the army. Taylor, sympathising with the feel ings of Worth, who could not forgive himself for having missed the battles of the 8th and 9th of May, assigned.to him, at Monterey the tusk of carr)ing the heights of Saltillo road, ivith one division of the army, while with the other, the Commnnder-in-Chief advanced against the town from the Serralvo road. This was ini fict giving Worth an'independent command-for. after once separating, it was found impossible to kee'p up the communication between the two divi sions ol' the army. Worth carried ir, succession the vari. ons forts coirmanling the Saltillo road -stormed she Bishop's palace which 'overlooked the town-and-pushing for ward through the suberbs, entered the streets, throwing shot and shells, and carrying terror and dism-iy before him.. He was within a short distance of the great square when the town capitulated 14 Thylor, penetrating to the plaze froin the other side. . For his exploits at Monterey Worth was brevetted a Major General. His next great exploit was at Molino le Ray, where he carried tht aliost im pregnible works of the enemy, after a rnost tremendous struggle, in which more lives were lost, in proportion to the num iers engaged, than in any action of the var. Worth also fought with distinction at' Cerro Gordo, at Churubusco, and at the I torming of the gates of Mexico. lie was, perhaps, after Taylor and scott, the most efficient-certainly the nost popular of the Generals it' the war c vith Mexico. - The character of Wot th may bo iketch-. I d in few words. He was brave to a t ault, sufficienly good as a fastician. 1 hivalrous, of popular niannets, of in losing presence, haughty, at timesover- I earing, impetuous, warn hearted a fast n riend. In many respects.'e resembled t )ecatur. In the battle; especially rhere during coura ~uire avtic n nee 0I ismounted from his horie, placed his t lumed hat on the point of his sword, nd waving it high over head, led them > storm the Bishop's Castle. Such 1 tiles recal the Paladians of old romance. ODD-FELLOWSHIP AS tT WAs AND AS IT s.-The great difference that is seen be wveen the Odd-Fellowship of to-day. and birty years ago, canuot but strike all who eflect upon it as a most notable fact. The nady aud great dangers through which he Order has past during the last quarter n f a century, the new features it has de- - ,eloped, the capabilities for good it has t evealed and is constantly revealing, are I ros that it originated in a irovidential esign. The first Odd-Fello.ws werea lind instruments in the hands of heatn; he humble artisans who laid the founda ion of a glorious temple, without knowing is object or design. At first, Odd-Fellowship presented as >ects deldedly objectionable and immoral. t relieved many of the painful necesfities if life, it is true, but its moral influence vasetirely bad. Among the by-laws of Godges.of to first period we find the fol owing: "If any of the members think pro er to meet wvith the oliicers on a Sundtay ivening; they are at libetay to do so. pro vided they pay foi- they own iiu, and :nme in a state of sobriuty." in the by-laws of anttther Lodge the ~ollowing appears: "One pint or beer shalth be allowed to eacht brother on at tend mg a comtmittee of this Lodge. Any membersleeping, eating, swearin.sinin an indecent or plitical snug, or Aiving any recitation, or betting wvagers during Lodge hours, shall be fined not less than one shill in." Now let one compare with the above, the by-laws of our Order as it is to-dlay, and see the iminense progress it has made. Even the ninit biiter opponents of the Order do tnot bring any charge of ia morality agatinst it, or expressany fear at all on this ground. On the contrary, it is acknowledged on all hands that its influence is conservattve of mnorality; that all its rules and obligations in this directiont are as strict as thesie of lte ChurCh. It is true there are bad men in the Order and pity it is that it ia true. But ifktnavishi Judases cannot be 1kept ourof the sacred. pale of the H oly Curcht, Mow can it be expected that Odd-Pellowship, a purely secular institution, cijn be free of them ? The Order ntow atisrts. and positively insists upon every viftue, and denounces in earnest and tudtgnant tones every vice, white it seeks to relievetiemporat suffering attd to meet many of the'eruel pterplexities and inconveniences oflifit aims to make men tmore moral, miore.ifraternal, more benevolent, and more uprigt. ft is' worthy therefore, thte good will tand a pport of all good men. .The humblen~ and otuscuri ty of its' origin, nor the o1 etinnable at tributes it at first ex'hibitekhonld tbe re membered to its pre'judice.'i t is entough for us to know that it has otgrown theta all, and in this wve see an avgence that a divine and redeeming idea tus enshrined within it, which will shine' rNore purely and bright ly,through all the futuire, or until its great destiny shall have bee, fulfilled. ..Gaeite and Rue UTORY OF A SAILOR. Fd years ago I left the port of Bosti. ihe master of a line ship, bound for Gn:i. I was worth ten thousand dolla', and thn husband of a young and liandame wife, whom I had married six mont before.-Wher! I left her, I promed to'return to her in less than twei months; I took all my money alon with me, save enough to support nby.' fe in my absence, forhe put pose of triing while in China on my own accout, For a long ti.ne we were fit voretwith prosperous winds; but when in t Chinese Sea, a terrible storm cani pon us, so that in a short time I saw at the vessel must be lost, for we ver rifting on the rocks of an. un -knoi shore. I ordered th.- men each topr ide for himself, in the best possi ble nner, and forget thu ship, as it was- impossibility to save her. We strue $a sea threw me upon a rock sensess, and. the next would have car ridje back into a .watery grave, had not die of the sailors dragged me fu ther up.l hrocks. T1 re was only four of us alive, and, wheiniorning came, we found we were on ajmall, uninhabitable island, with nothijg to eat but the Ivild fruit com mon b that part of the earth. I will riot dstress you by an account of my iufforIngs here ; suffice it to say, that we re pined sixty days before we could nak''urselves known to any ship. We yere.aken to Canton, and there I had o be for my. money was at the bottom if th aca, and I had not taken the pre :auio 16 have it insured. ht-as nearly a year before I found a ianC conic home,-and then, 1, a cap, ainias obliged to ship as a coniion ao 0 1t wa tw years from the time hat. eft Anwrica that I landed in Bos on..1 was walking in a hurrid manner p one of its streets when I met my ioth1r-in-law. He could not speak or move, bit he grasped my hand and 1e te"rs gushed from his eyes. "Ilmy wife alive V I asked. ly s p,' r ougI ot hi , very soon said: "She is alive." Then it was my turn to cry for jny. le clung to me, and said : "Your funeral sermon has been reached, for we have thought you were ead for a long time." He said niy wife was living in our ottage, in the interior of the state. It as three o'clock in the afternoon, and took a tiain cf cars that would carry ic within twenty- five miles of my wife. -Leaving the cars, I hired a boy, bongh it was night, to drive me home. I was about two o'clock in the nrorning t-n that sweet little cottage of mine ppeared in sight. It was a warm moon ght night, and I remember hnw like a leaven it appeared to me. I got out f the carriage and went to the window f the room where thii vrvant girl slept, nd-gently kno'cked. She opened the vindow and asked, "Who is there I" "Sarah, do you know me 7" said I. She schieamed with fright, for she lindight Me a ghost, but I told her to infasten the door and let me in, for I wihed to see mny wife. She let me in md gave a ligh't, andh I went up stairs to ny wife's room. She lay sleeping quiet y. Upon her bosom lay our child, honm I had never seen. Shte wvas as >euujiful as when 1 left her, but I could ee a mournful expression upon her face. Perhaps shie was dreaming of me.-Y azed for a long time-I did not make my noise, for 1 dared not toa wake her. At length I imprinted a soft kiss upon he cheek of my child. WVhile doing it, tear dropping from rhy eye, fell upon er cheek. Hier eyes opened as clearly is if she had not long been sleeping. 1 ta thiat she began to be frighitened, and I said "Mary, it is your husband !" And she clasped me about niy neck and fairated. IJ'ut I cannot describe to you that scene. She is now the happy wife of a poor man. I am endeavoring to ncu mulate a little property, and then I will leave the sea forever.

JUSTICE To GEN, SHmELD.--Rererring to some remarks made in the recent Con vention, in which this gentleman was *al luded to as a Wilmot proviso -an, the Carolinian says: "We have good reason to believe that the charge thus reiterated against General Shields-originating probably in some par ty rumor-is without any foundation. Ve have good authority for saying, that du ting the'time he was a candidate for the Senate lie never expressed an opinion about the 'proviso,' fAr the simple reason that such an expression of opinion was never required-ofihim ; and it is therefore we think that such a public accosation, and its reiteration among a people who have some cnuse to respect and esteem him, was rather tingenernus." The statement certainly was made at the time of the General's election to the Senate, by the Washington letter writers, and not formally contradicted; but we feel satisfied that no one will be more grailfied by the correction of the mis-statement (if it was one,) than the gentleman whose incidental allusion to the matter was re published in this paper. No errors ofj'odgment can obliterate the recollection of Gen. Shield's connection with the Palmetto Regiment, ant which he is identified in the heart of Carolina but as a public man his course is open to animadversion as well-as that of others. The gist of the remarks alluded to was in deprecation of the habit of returrling thanks through our public bodies; their drift and purport we heartily concurred in, and therefore gave the subistance of them pro bono publico.-Tegraph. Sou rHERN MAN UFACTUREs.-We have frequently alluded to the business of man ufacturing at the South, and are pleased in being able to state that recent inquiries, we are convinced of its steady and satisfac tory progress. The manufacture of Cot ton Osnaburgs has been for some years notopolised by the South for their own trade, having entirely surperseded the Northern goods of similar description furtnerly imported, and the surplus enters into very favorable competition in '4nrth ern markets with the production of any other section of the country. Our Yarns are also much approved of at the North, itnd certainly unsurpassed by any otueri., More recently some large mills have n oI ufM Mimurin out goods that will compare . vorably wit the products of any other establishments in the country. Some of these goods have been sent to the Notrthern markets, and have been prounounced fully ejual to. the best manufactured goods with which they come into competit:on. Our exports of Osnaburgs. Yarns, Shirtings and Sheet ings to the North for the past year. have amounted to several thousand bales, and the business is constantly augmenting, ad ding strength and wealth to the State, and giving new and increased activity to capital and icdustry.-Colwnbia Telegraph. THE OLDEST MAN- is AIERICA. George Buckhart, living in Harian county, Ky., is one of the most extraordinary men of tho age, and perhapsis the oldest man now known to be living. lie is one hun dred and fourteen years old; was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, aid.has lived for several years in a hollow sycamore tree, of such large dimensions as to cnntain his family, consisting of a wife and five or six children, bed and bedding, cooking uten sils, &c. The exploring agent of the A merican Bible Society, in his travels in Kenincky, iecently found him, and also saw several respectable gentleman who had spert one or more nights. with him in this singular home.
