C OlYMUNIGATIONS. To the Editor of the Edkefield Adeertiser Stai: I observed in looking over a recent ntumbei of your paper, since myv retturn fronm Coltumbia, thai " A JuNItoa MtEMta tIF v.n ain" has taken me te task *fur certain remarks atid positionts of ine ir regardl to Lawyers anti the Divisiotn of I-:dgefchit ani Barnwell, as repoartedt by the Secretaries of the Aiker Meeting. which I hatd the honor to atddress. I gready~ atmire the spirit and elevcrness which the f'oti; gentleman exhibits in rht. zealous defence tf his" apro. fession," but the merit of the prodluction is seviously marred by the too frequeant use of ungenerous epithets seh as " wouild-hbeStatesman," " modern lsmael,' and the like. Hard nasmes are rnot arguments, and the former are mnieh easier protducetd titan the lutter. The following extract, from the publishesd sketelt o. ty remarks, contains thte sting which woutnded sc deeply the professitonal pride of " A Jlustoa xxNaEa oF Tmts i.6a" viz: "Lawyers wonuld oppewe it (udiveion) fromt the fac1 that lar.e Daistricts increasedi litigation, anti that in steasd of seeking buisin~ess thtemselves, business ws brtught to them, anid because, its a hodly, they wver cnmpetitors for toilices int the gilt of the' Legislature whicht was untder the cotitrol of the Parishes." " Jestolt," (I hope lie will pardon mue for abritdg ing his very lengthy name,) thtinks that, I contredie and refuite rthe position here taken,e " that large' Dis tricts inicrease litigationi," by what the reporter make me.say elsewhere, to wit, that "A two-wek's:Cour frequently indtuces parties to forego an adjudication of their tdifficulties by law, and tosettle them by thel own strong aria." But I cannot doubt that evern candid reader, will acquit tme of any such charge as selfcntirathction int the matter. When men settlh dflutlties " by their own strong arm" it is eviden that inijuries mttst be'inflicmtetd upon the person oa property of some one, and that cirimitnal prosecutions or actions of trespis. an't case, are the natural result *in addition~to thte tiecessary suits about the matter thta hatd caused theflyst dispute. This is btit arguing fron cause antd efreet. I presented several othier argumenti to show that large judticial Districts intcrease litigation Why did not " Jeti" attempt to controvert thcemt Butt " Just oa" has jutst catuse to be offenided witi me, occording to ltis' construcetion of my remark as te ported, that Lawyers would oppose division, becans "instead of seekitng businessthemnselves, business wai brought to them." I agree most cordially witl "urtoit" that " Lawyers as a class dii not leek, os electioteer for business, though theret may be individ nal exceptions to the general rule." I never said a Aiken, or any where elsa, that the Bar as a casi eetoerfor business. I shouild be ashamed of my self, and wotuld deserve thte rebukle of all honest men if Iliad made or could make such a remark about the proessioti. I simply saitd, or meant to say, that at reason why Lawyers in large judticial Districts, wvouke oppose tdivision, is that they are averse to circuit riding and desire to have business brought to them, instant of being compeled to leave their homes and go to it as is te case with all Attorneys in small Districts If it is published that I spoke othterwise, the reporte of the pruceeditng. is responsible for it, not myself. Butt it is clear to my mind, that even the Reporter never made me say, that Lawyers electioneer fo; h usiness and although the sentencetmay be an awkt ward one tto express what I did say as now explained yet language would have to lie tortured very much, tc inakte the phrase " instead of secking business them selves, business n ssbrouight to them" mean the saint thing, as "electioneer foir butsiness." Every mat delights to ihncrase the business by whichi he support himself and accumulates his fortune. He likewis< Idesires to dispatch that busitness with as little incon venience as possible, and1 if large jndicial Districts tde not increase litigatioin, andI if lawyers nre not averst t circuit riding, why is ".tJstolt" opposetd to diti - are . ....of th r o...f Edefield anti Barnwell opposed to it? Why did the Lawyers oppose the division of Pendleton until the,people drove them to it? Why did theC'Bar of. Charleston, in the early history pf- the State, resist and resist successfully for ninfty-eight years, every attempt to establish a Court House oidsideof the Queen City, for the benefit ofrthe countrrpe le.T "Juioi'u'lsays to handle mie without gloves,for another eipression ini.hat sh6rt, but truthful paragraph in regard to lawyers and Division-namely, that as a Body, they would oppose division, because "tthey were competitors for offices in the gift of the Legis. lature, which was under the control of the.Parishes." It is richly amusing to observe, the complacency. with whidlihe attacks my position, that " the Legisla ture is under the control of the Parishes." And be cause the Districts have a majority of twenty-three on joint ballot of the two hotises he eiraits over his defeated .antagonist. in the following elegant man ner: " But we are not surprised that this would-he statesman, with jaundiced eye should have.mistaken these facts also." "Jostoa" forgot that each House of the Legislature has a negative on the other-he foigot that although the Districshave far more terri fort;, weahLtr,-whte - poplation. -or slaves than the parishes ohat yet the a' ter hae a majority in the senate and always controlit-he forgot that the parishes are ever united against us because they wish to retain the politicial power which rightly belongs to the up country, while we are hopelessly divided by the ambition'of tral:ors amongst us-he forgot that the Legislature elects every important officer in the State -he forgot that the Districts have nearly four times as many candidates for offices in the gift of the Legislature as the parishes-he forgot that the manner of voting in the Legislature is by secret ballot-he forgot that ambition is as strong a feelink in man's nature, as religion, love of property, or any other great principle that actuates humanity-I say, he must have forgotten or overlooked these things and many others, which might be named, or he could not have been so unjust, as to charge me with gross ignorance upon a subject, which I had studied long and closely. As a general rule, about one half of the hundred and rixty-ninti members -in both branches of our Leilisla ture are lawyers and of this number,-% large majority always represent the Districts. Very few offices are ever given by our Legislature to Farmers, Doctors, Merchants, or any other.class except Lawyers. This, " Jusrioa" concedes because he could not deny it, and as lie admits that " Lawyers aspire to offices of distinction" he might as well go a step farther with me and say that the Bar are opposed to division, be. cause as a Doly they are competitdre for offices in the gift of the Legislature. The parishes are all united against estatilishing any new District in the up-country, le~st such Districi might demand a Sena tur. And as the parishes have seventy-three of the hundred and sixty-nine votes in the Legislature, no Lawyer in the up-country, who hopes to get an office from the Legislature at any period of ids life will advocate division, simply for the reason that by, that one act, he would alienate all the parishes votes and he defeated by some boot-licking, truckling, intriguing traitor from the Districts. I do not wish to be understood as asserting that all' the lawyers who represent the up-country, are false to their section. On the contrary, I can bear willing testimony to the fidelity, ability and boldness,with which some of them speak andi act in presence of their Parish masters. But I do m-tintain most emphatically, that at least two thirds of the lawyers in the Legis lature, frotn the Districts, betray their constituents and beid the supple knee to the Parishes. And if the up country, which contains.fo:rfflks of the white in. habitants of the State, would erect a penftentiary as all the other States have done-it its voters wouldgive the election of Governor and of Presidential electors to the people, as all the other States have done-if thbey wouldl be represented in the National Conventions, as all the other State are represented ; -if they would abolish the secret ballot systtem of voting In the Legis lature, as all the other States have abolished it ; if they would have any voice in the choice of their rulers ; if they would'be egntally and fairly represented in the L'egislature with the Parishes; if they would -modify their worthless, idle, vicious.expensive, crime it uiy woumo ,,-. Legtslators and riot of electors ; or in a fe words, if they would have any reform whatever, I should ad vise them to elect butt few lawyers to the Legislature,. without exacting pledges from them, not to accept any oflice in the gift of the Legislature, at least, untiloaft the necessary reforms shall have been ef'eted. I concur with " Jusion," in his remark as to the propriety of putting Lawyers into all the high offices of the Government and for a very obvious reason. Every office is bitt a part of the Government and every Govrnment is but a practical application' of law to the wants of thc particu'ar community. Therefore, as a general rule, the more law a man knows, the hetter lhe is prepared to discharge the duties of any office in civil society. All Americans c-oncede this a nd he'nce the trite observation that law is the only road to distinction 'tn any free country. If our State Government were not organized so as to corrupt the Iepresentiative by its ordinary operation, I should be the last man to say ought against electing Attorneys t the Legislature, as perfecting and applying law is teir ennstarit study and daily labor. Bunt as I cannot shut my eyes to the fiact that the Lawyer's " nest" in our Legislatture is a "foul" one, I am anxious to have it clensed. " Jux:oa's" qutotation from "a distin guishied Chancellor," therefore, hsno reproach for me. I am quite as prond oif the profession as " Juzt o," or even the great Chancellor to whom lhe refers; but I cannot defend it in the wrong, as wall as in the right. It may be said that I desire to rank myself as the only honest Lawvyer at Edgefiel Court House; bit such is not the case. Professionally there are several members of the Bar here, who are my equals in character, and my superiors in ability and acquire ments; but politically I do claim to speak and act with, at least, as rmuch independence as any of them. - Imay be wrong in some of my vie ws,and who is noti .But if I am, the error should the ascribed to the bead, not the hleart. I knowv that I shall be denounced for the position that 1 have taken int this matter, as well as for the bitter truths wvhich I dared to proclaim on a recent occasion in the Legislatture. Ilanticipate thast nothing will be left undone, to break' me down, hut I have told the truth and shall have a clear concierice, whether I be sustained or not. All that I ask of my enemies is to answer my arguments, not traduce my character.' I am in favor of division, and shall never cease to advocate it, eirher as a citIzen or as a Representative. I believe that our people ought to go for It unanimous ly, not only on account of the merits of the measure itself, but to secure more power in the Senate. It would be just as reasonable to permit one of thme six Battalions of M'tilitia in Edgefield, to rule the other fiue, as it is now, to let thte Parishes rule the State. Suppose the Lower Battalion of the 7th Regiment had a negative on the proceedings of all the other Battal ions ini the District ; that a man, because he chanced to reside in thit Battalion, should have say twenty times as mutch polItical power as any voter it either of thte other battalions. wvould our people submit to iti I think not, and yet they are now acquiesing in pre cisely as unjust a thting in respect to the Parishes. Is the air purer, or the water better In the Parishes than it is in the Districtsi Are the people wiser, or more fit to govern there than they are here? Are ttey all Philosophers, all Caesers, all Douglasses in tme Parishes, or are we all plebians, all ignoramuses in thme Districts? Do saints only inhabit the frog ponds of the Parishes, or do evil genii only inhabit the Districts ? I have an invincible faith that when the peolie of Edgefield and Blarnwell shall have heard the whole argumient in behalf of division, that they will go for It, as Pendletop did, to a man,'except the three following classes of persons: 1. The Lawyers, their friends and relations. . Thle inhabitants at, or near the Court Houses. 3. Thie incumbents, candidates and aspirants for the District offices of profit, their frtends and relations. G. D. TIL LMAN.

EDITOR: Some time since a friend placed in our hands a copy of PRor. LABORDE's recent work on Physiology, with the .equest that we would ex amine it, and see if we thought it a suitable text book ora scitool.' We promised to do so; but being quite closely engaged with otiier matters at the time, we failed until quite recently, to give it that attention which we intended. Upon rising from a recent pern eel of it, however, we areso strongly impressed with its merits, that although. we have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintahee with the accomplished author, we-shall take the iberty of publicly stating our opinion of the judicios manner in which his self. imposed task has been performed. Having been for manyljgars accustomed to the al most daily use of some one of the diffierent Elementary text booksupon Physiology,compiled tomeet the wants of students in our higher seminaries, it has occurred'to us that one cannot appriiate more readily the ex cellencies oulProf. LABoata's treatise, than by notic ing wherein it seems to difeir from those which have been for some few years before'the public. And first we think the general style in which the Professor hi expressed himself is greatly preferable to that of many authors upon the same subject, whose works are now in very general use. Moes'text books are intended to be very concise, and as theault of such good intention on the part of the author,they become models of that exceeding stiffness and dryness, which is so repugnant to the tastes of learners. Ruschenberger's elementary treatise, though on the whole excellent, is an example of such faultiness. Cutter's Physiology on the other hand, borders in its style upon the opposite extreme, and for tAnt of conciseness, fails in making an im pression upon the mind of the learner sufficiently defi nite, to fix firmly in his memory the facts and prin. ciples which the work is deigned to teach. Avoiding both these extremes, Prof. 1ABoDE .Ias succeeded in reaching a very happy medium, and while preserving great clearness has thrown a charm around the inter eting subjects of which hirtwork treats, which charm isowing not more to the intrinsic interestof the truths wIhich he is elucidating, than to the exceeding clear and beautiful manner in which these truths are ex preseed. The Professor has also been peculiar happy in the general selection of the subject of which his work treats. In this he has shown as much good judgment, as in his style of writing he.has shown good taste. It is a great point in an elementary treatise upon any department of science, to know what to retain and what to reject. In a work strictly elementary, some reference must be had to the immediate effect which will be produced upon the mind of the learner, by the excitation of pleasurable emotions, as these are arous ed by the pleasing nature of the truths which are pre sented to him. If knowledge is made attractive, if the student becomes interested in his'studies, and learns to love any sciene frim the gratification which the reception of its truths tmpart, he has derived from his nthor a we-fold benefit. Not only has he gained knowledge, but he has felt the charm attending its acquisition, and learned to love the truth itself, from the very pleasure which its study has afforded him. No wthere is no department of scientific investigation which, by a judicious arrangement of its text books, can be made more fascinating to learners than this which investigates the phenomena of life, and ther is none which, by an injudicious arrangement, can be made to become mtore wearisome.- Most authors of the elementary treatises upon Physiology, seem to have forgotten, at times, that they were writing for those who were less interested in professional details than their medical brethren. And most teachers have witnessed the weariness and lassitude, at times amounting, on the part of the pupil, almost to disgust, which has resulted from 9 ch forgetfulness. Prof. La oa has n the arrang ent of his work, as a text book, shown the tact and jutdgmecnt of an experi enced instructor, in carefully avoiding whatever is not adapted at once to hestruct and interest. In this ie has evidently comprehended the wants of those for whom he has written. And rany one who will read his work,can readily Imagine how even children can be made to feel an interest in whatever n' and weary oy their technical minutim, all whose tastes are not purely prot'ersional, s features of the work most charming and refreshing. Another peculiarity of Prof. LABoRa's work is the very succint and happy manner in which he has Introduced those great questIons of Physical Science which are supposed to have so direct a bearing upon levelation, such as the Deelopmenit Hypothesis. Were we writing a formal review of the Professor's work, we would like to transcribe the whole of the section which treats of this Hypothesis. But to do so n',wl would not comport with the litnit. of a brief notice like this. Its introduction at all into a work devoted to Physiology, is a most happy thought. And the author has introduced it so appropriately and naturally that one is at the same time surprised and delighted on reading it. It is just what we have longed to see finding it. way into our elementary works. Fr although the author does not pretend to settle the quetions at Iie, or even tu enter at large upon their discussion, yet lie says enough to enable an Intel ligent instructo? to bring the subject before his classes, and to excite their attention ; so that they may learn what the theory is, sad what are its tendencies. Such discussions also vary the monotony of a text book, and furnish the occasion of calling forth whatever in telligence and knowledge a teacher may possess, con eerning. subjects somewhat scientific in their charac ters, hut not of less general interest. Here, as well as elsewhere, Prof. LAB. shows his ability and disposi tion to make his work keep pace with whatever is requed, thet the great que~rtions of the day may be understood by his readers. it has occurred to us:while reading his work-and we may as well mention it in this oonnection--that Prof. L. might do good service to the cause of educa tion generally, and more particnlarly to the cause of ministerial education, by prepsring a work adapted to the wants of our Theological Seminaries, and arrang ung ii very much upon the plan of the work before us. There is a sad deficiency at present existing in the course of studies adopted in most, if not all of our seminaries, for the education of' ministers. As the re sult of this deficiency, therie is a lamentable ignorance prevailing among our preachers, on all subijects con nected with physical and physiological scienee. And all this, in turn, may be traced to the want of a text book juitable to accomplish the desired end ; and yet adapted to the~use of Theotogicat Students. Dy en larging moms sections of the work, to meet this want, and entering more fully into the discussion of those theories which are intended to deal heavy blows at Revelationja most capital work might be produced without deviating materially from the general arrange ment which Prof. L. has here adopted. We throw out thIs spggestion just as it has occurred to us, hope ing that it may attract hsis attention. But not to make our notice tedious by its length, and thus defeat our object in calling attention to the work of oar accomplished fellow-townsman, we will in conclusion specify hut one other most interesting featue of his book, and that is the introduction of the section upon the " Nature of Death." The Introduction of this subject, in the conclusion of the work, upon the Science of Life, is a happy thought, and in working It out the Professor hasgiven us several passages conspicuous for their eloquence nnd beauty. Those who have read the work itself have noticed these, while those who have not, will, no doubt, he interested in the truths contained in the following brief extract. Who can tell how great the relief which would be experienced biy those who sur rounl the death-beds of dear friends if they could fully appreciate, and understand such important " Death is not necessarily attended with great susf fering and agony. Most of mny readers can call to mind instances in which the patient was free from all pain, in full possession of consciousness, and sunk in to death as If into the gentlest and most placid slum. her. And yet so terrible I. death, so encircled with horror, that we are apt to believe the last scene must be one of indescrihable torture and misery, and that there is no escape from this life except through pains o which former suff'erings furnish no parallel. Desath, physiologically speaking, is the result of certain changes in the molecular and integral constitutIon of organzed bodiee. These changes may he brought ilbout slowly or suddenly. Dlesih from old age is an example of the former, and from disease or accident of the latter. The old man dies from dlecrepituide ; his oras luhthe part ue. nr a nuachine. are worn out by Iong-continued action; their sensibility is exhausted; the iniellectual faculties are weakened; the body dies slowly ; life becomes gradually extinguished, and, says Buffon. death is but the last term of this series of degrees. This, manifestly, is not a condition of much pain and suffering. It is to be expected that in acci dental death, except when it takes place suddenly, the sufflring will be greatdr. This arised from the higher sensipility, the greater susceptibilityof pain, thes fuller energy of the vital powers, and their greater resistance to the inroads of death. But even in these cases of fatal disease, the Creator has not ordered that severe suffering shall he a -necessary attendant. On tle contrary, the progress to the tomb not uifreqently is as gentle and gradual as in old age. What is called the agony of death is but a state of insensibility. The peculiar respiration, the inverted and fixed eye, the convulsive agitation, are now ascertained to be signs of insensibility, and not of suffering." In closing, we may express the hope that Prof. L. will feel called upon by the success attending his work, to continue in the department of authorship which he has chosen. We need such books as he has given us. They are useful in connection with the more rigidly scientific works of Agassiz and Gould, and will be used in connection with them. All that can be hoped or asked by the Professor himself, or by his best friends, is that the public will grant to the present work a reception, the cordiality of which shall be equal to its merits. EDGEFIELD COLL MATE INrITUTE. Jan. 8, 1856. For the Advertiser. "XANIFEST DESTINY." If a Ship Canal can be accomplished through the Isthmus of Darien or any part of Central America, neither the Cape of Good Hope nor Cape Horn would ever be doubled again by a Mlerchant vessel. The commerce of the world would pass through that Canal. If a Canal is impracticable, a Rail Road can be made without doubt. The only question is its cost. If a Rail Road with twelve or twenty tracks were com pleted, it would pay. It would pay largely if at eadh terminus there were machinery capable of lifting out of the water a loaded vessel of 1200 tons, placing her on a car, carrying her across the Isthmus in two hours, and again dropping her into the water. Surely mod. ern science can accomplish this, since Archemedes proposed to lift the Earth if a Fulcrum were furnished to him. The nation that possesses and controls this passage must necessarily be the most powerful on earth-be cause whenever it wills to close it, it can paralyse the world. What nation, then, shall possess this para mont power? Every thing points to the United States of America. It is" Manifest Destiny." But England and France with their great naval and commercial resources, aided, perhaps, by all Europe-save Russia -willg sotwar rather than submit to this. They will not permit the United States to over-top the world without~'an appeal, ingeniously conducted,' to the ." trial by combat." This is certain. But with such a Territory as we possess, and its population-ap. proimating thirty milhons-with five hundred thou. sand fighting men-and such men. If- we only take care to provide fifty thousand sailors and as .many mariners-and steam vessels to hold them, we need not fear),b9est't. We can whip the " world in arms." We can and we should take Canada and all North and Central America, including the West India Islands, Mexico and every foot of ground - washed by the MWpstern Atlantic, the Gulf andthe Carribean Sea, for our own. And what then ? Are we to admit these inferior races.'nd ;aflf savage people into full fellowship with oprpl ?Shall they share Sovreignty with us ? No! d forbid! Let us take new views-broader 'vwi; views fofeed on us by " Manifest Destiny." our constitution bc altered, and this clause added: li From anti after this date no new Territory acquired by te iUnite tes, nor any portion thereof shall be i 9ttd as te or States thereof, until fifty years shall have elapsed from the period of the organization o such Territory, unto Territories of the said United States; and the Congre~f the United States shall in the meantime dayise a system of government for all such acquisiti ''3' shall seem to the inhabitants thereof all the ri:; nd privileges -now enjoyed by thenhabitantifo the " Territories" of these United -ates."' 19y shall not, they cannot, and they will ask for ore. o you nut see how happily such an amendment oh onstitution woul operate on the political parties ;ow distract us? 1 think it could be easily car .rough the States.

Th le rumors of peace negoliations have been confirmed to a c.onsideraible extent. It appears that the Austrian government had sent Prince Faterhazy on a mis-inn to St. P'e trsburg, with an uiiintm whlich had r'ceived th anproval of the Allies.

In regard to Ihe Liverpool Cotton market, there seems to be some discreoantcy in the accounts. A dispatch furnished the Columbin papers says: "AL Liverpool, fair Orleans cotton was quo-0 ted att 65 d., and Mobile at 61., which would show an atdvaneo oif i-8d. for the week."

Mw'n.n .MoSr FuU.-A most .nwf'ul tragedy took p'ace on Monday itight last, about 10 miles below this city in Twviggs ca., at the house of Mr. Samuel Taylor, ani old resideut of that couty. Taylor wa~s found de-ad in his bed, and his wife Sarah gashingt in death along side of hi, each with one large wounud on thte head, inflicted with the cutting edge of an axe! Mrs. Trayor lived, ini an intsensible state, abonut two hours after Mr. Taylor's son, Jamnes, reached the house, from his own residence, less than a mile distant. The fiend who copmmitted the dou'le murder, hatd afterwards attemnpted to burn the house, hatving kindled a fire on the bed, between the murdered couple and laid a pile of kind!ing wood under the satme, more effetually to destroy all traces of the atrociotus :ict. Ow ing to the bed clothitg being chiefly of woolen matril, the fire did not progress rapidly, but filled the house with emoke which caused a child of Mrs. Taylor's grand daughter, slteeping with its mother in another part of the hotuse to atwatke and rouse its mother, who, .though deaf and dumb, mannged to arouse the negroes and give the alarm t'j the neighbors, after putting out the fire. From an eye w:1. of the scene, we learn that so offensive n .1wh order of burning hu man flesh and blood, antd of woolen and cotton goods in the rooma whertr the dead bodies lay, thatt the cotnpany assemnbled, (about a dozent neighbors,) were comtpelled to lay out the dead and remains of the beding, before the Coroner, living 20 miles off, could be sumnmoned to hold an itquest. This wa~s done on Tuesday after ioon, and a verdict given according to the fore going facts, and with suspicion that Lewis, a negro fellow of Mr. Taylor's, about 28 years old, was the nmrderer. There was no positive proof of this, but various circumstances point to the boy as the perpetrator of the outrage, and le has beeni committed to Marion jail to await his trial on the charge. Mr. Taylor was 70 anud his wife 72 years old. They were very indulgent to their servants, and the only catuse the boy cotuld have was to pre. vent his master's selling hium, which lie was no. gotiating.-Macon Citizen. 27 JACOn MauicER., under sentence of' death at Colmbus G., committed suicide on Thursday by takinig lautdanum, furmnished by his wi'e.

ABOLITON ALrjs.-It is alleged, during tbe late difficultiest-iKansas, a large number of Shawnee and Delaware indians expressed-their willingness to Jpin.-in thefight under the banner of the Free Stategien.. Th Lawrence"Qrres. .pendent of thed et Iork.' uneswriting under date-of Decenier.d,-says their head nen and b'raveli had arried in that town, " with the blood of wiar"yet runuing in their veins." A corresFionint 6f thie London Times, in &ommenting upon the process of Irish agricul ture, states that during the past fourteen years the value.of farm stock.in Ireland has iiereased from f22,000,000.to ?35,000,000 sterling, and that the number of horned cattle has risen from 2,000,000 to 3,230,000, while thie quality has correspondingly improved. Still, however, of the 20,000,000 of acres which Ireland comprises, only about one-fourth is under direct tillage, and fully one-third in pasture. A Suspicious ARMED VESSEL IN THE GULF STxEAz.-The ships Westmoreland, of Phila delphia, and the Sultana, of New York, were recently chased for some distance in the Gulf Stream by an armed brig showing Spanish colors. The brig hauled to under the Westmoreland, but she outsailed her, and the suspicious vessel followed the Sultana for half an hour, and then told the captain he " might go," after fireing a shot at her, without replying to the' question, "Why she thus insulted the American flag ?" A humorous paper published in New York, under the title of Young sam, says that althoogh John Bull may make rye faces at the United States across the water, for our suppossed sym pathy with Russia, we are still the best friend and ally she has Ingrain, and she must acknorol. edge ihe corn. THREATENED DIsCLosURE.--It is eid that .the family of the late Robert Schuyler are do. termined to make such disclosures as -his death enablks them to, and which, it is asserted, will relieve his memory from a large share of the obloquy that now rests upon it in connection with his enormous defalcations. We learn that this threat causes a good deal of fluttering in certain quarters, and it is supposed that parties hitherto unsuspected will be he d up in an un enviable light, if a full statement is made. Wr SWEARIuG.-The absurdity and utter folly of swearing Is admirably set forth in the following anecdote of Belezebub and his imps. The latter went out in the morning, each to command his set of men-one the murderers, another the liars, and another the swearers, &c. At evening they stopped at the mouth of a cave. The question arose among them who commanded the meanest set of men. The subject was de bated At length but without coming to a decision. Finally, his Satanic Majesty was called upon to decide the matter in dispute. Whereupon, he said: " The murderer got something for killing, the thief for stealing, and the-liar for lying, but the swearer was the meanest of all, he served without pay." They were .his majesty's best subjects; for whilo they were costless their name was legion, and presented the largest division in his (Satan's) employ. " Do YOUNG LADIES GET IN DiT ?-,In the course of the recent debate upon the Marital Rights question, in the South Carolina Senate, Mr. C. W. Dudley said: But it is said that every man is to shoulder his wife's debt. Why, sir, what debts did he ever know a blushing young maiden of sevqnteen to owe to any one in the world I Has there evet been found atn instance wihere a, yoqng lady of seventeen, cighteen,nineteen or twenty, approach thealtar perfectly unsophisticate', who perhaps never contracted a debt in life, saddled her hus. band with debts? And are we to turn the cold shoulder to this law for such an extraordinary reason? Young ladies are not in debt; they owe no accounts. WVherever it happens that the husband is called upon to pay the debts of a wife, it is the case of one who has married a widow. gr AN AFFECTING IwelDNT.-Among the passengers on the ill-fated steamer Anthony Wayne, wa's a Mr. Walters, who was on his way from Chicago, (Ill.) to Philadelphia, Pennsylva nia, with the. remuains of his wife. When the explosion took place, Mr. Walters was thrown t o a considerable height, and fell into the water al most lifeless. Struggling to keep afloat, he ac identally struck against a box, by. means ol wvhicha he suppoarted himself through that darke, dreary nighlt. When daylight appeared, he found Lht the box which- had saved his lifo contained the corpse of his wife. gg QUE.ER REMEDY Fon WhloPING COUGH, -The Springhiel-l Republican says: A very great relief we are assured upon pre. tical knowledlge, is obtained by wearing about thec neck a tresh tarred rope of the size of I bedeord, covered with a this ribbon.
