A keeper of a hotel not fifty miles from Bos is, or was, a famnous man for horses-owned ny, and was always ready for a trade in such tte. Ie was sharp at a bargain, and was ter known to make a move that did'nt count his side, until the followving happened, thai ved an exception to the rule. Ie always i some particular horse on hand for every ticular emergency of trade, and the adroit 3 of his operation ini putting off a beast, wa sbject for delighted approval on all harnds ong connoisseurs of that delightful and much* sed animal, the horse. No o-ae ever traded] h Staille that (lid not confess himself satisfi through satisfaction being a la titudinal word, not always mean that the satislaction wa eultimate of happiness in the trade-like the in term in connection with ti e duello. Lhere was a jolly cobbler wv hose name wvas ax, that oegupied a small sho') near the hotel, whom Staille wvas accusta Lned to refer in e of any stick in P. transactfon, and lie being isinterested maam, wvould de cide on the mat of ditference, always, lhe wever, by what a deemed a strange fatality., deciding in favor Stille. Some, however, 1svenst so far as tc imi~Ae that Staffle and thes .cobbler had talked 8 matter over previously, and had certaiti ns by wvhich they unders toc d each other. When the stick came, t'nen Staffle would say Well, well, we cani't get a long any further. Nov willing to leave it out, to a third party, ani Mr. Wax, round the c' rner, knows the valm the horse of I anm s' rapping with you, h< 'll be as good and eamn' Ld an arbiter as we cai l, and 1 guess 1 will call him." Mr. Wma. uld acordingly comn . out, leather.apron ani and, after looking at the matter candidly ould decide that Sta file receive a smart con eration as the dilJfe renedi in value, and ti ould settle it nine t:Jnes in ien,4 ne day there ea'.ne along a stra'nger with: etty good horse, :tand it was at once the objec Staille's interest. Ie examained the lhorseu ihis points, and. det ermined to have hin le determination woe ked itself up to a Dosi e fever by the next morning, and when thm anger's horse was 1.ed out to be harnessed tiftle stepsped up an d asked thme owner, wh< s looking on seei ng that the harness wa >perly adjusted, if he did'nt want to swa) orses. The stranger tel ;l him ho had'nt the leas tjection, provider ihe could make a little some ing out of it. SWell," said 3 fr. Staffle, " I am glad to he: u say so). Jo' .mn, bring out the red colt." The red colt' .ras accordingly trotted out. Il ine was a ID isnom'er. It was one of thos mials that, bi aving been called a colt whe: gitimately er titled to the appellation, had toi ited it by tI ,e offence of age, and was noi iling under . false colors. -The stranger lookec the 'colt,' s .nd gave a - whistle as he saw ti meancy 1- ..tmean the na nnd .the title.. "Well," saidhe, at last, "howshill we trade? What are you willing to give to boot?" "Boot !" said Stafile, with feigned surprise, "the boot must be on the other leg, I think." "Ah !" said the man, " well, if you think so, we will stop negotiation. Good morning.' "Hold on," cried Staffle, "hold on-don't be in such a hurry. Suppose I should offer you -say, twenty-five dollars-how would that please you?" "It wouldnot please me at all," was the re ply, "I shouldn't want to take less than eighty dollars." " Well," said Staffle,. "I can't do that, but I'll tell you what I will do-I'll leave it to somebody." " Done," replied the stranger, " anything for a trade. Whom will you leave it to ? Some body, I hop that knows what a good horse is." "Never , better, sir," saia Staflle, delighted ly, "and here's just the man, of all others, that I would like to see, coming into the yard. Good morning, Mr. Wax." Wax nodded good morning back again, and said so, and then stood with his hands under his apron looking at the horses. "Mr. Wax," continued Staffle,. " this gedtler man and myself are about trading horses, and we want you to decide on the amount of boot that I am to pay him. You know what an ex cellent horse the " colt" is and can jud e by comparing the two what the difference s ould be." "Mr. Wax, are, you a good judge of horses ?" asked the stranger. Mr. Wax nodded, and looked up into his face, ' as much as to say, "I should like to have you find a better one." le then proceeded gravely to examine the two, and after standing with his arms akimbo for some minutes said: "I should think seventy-five dollars would be about right." " Good," said the stranger, "five dollars isn't much in a trade. Give me seventy-five and take the horse." Staffle was as red as a beet, and drawing out his pocket-book, he counted out seventy-five dollars, and paid them over. The transfer was made in silence and the stranger drove away.. After he had gone, Staffile turned to Wax, who stood there very smilingly, saying: " That was a devil of a trick you played me. What was you thinking of ? Didn't you un derstand that the "colt" was mine 7" " Yes," replied Wax,- " but you did'nt sus pect that the other horse was mine, did you? [bought him yesterday on speculation." A WoMAN's ADVANTAGEs.-A woman may say what she likes to you without the riskof get ting knocked down for it. She can take a snooze after dinner, while her husband has to go to work. . She can dress herself in neat and tidy calicoes for a dollar, which hei husband has to-earn and 6rk over. She can go forth into the streets without be ing invited to treat at every coffee house. She can paint her. face if she is. too. pale, and -flour it if too. red.-. - She can stay at home in time of war and wed again if her husband is killed. She can wear corsets if too thick, other fixins if too thin. . She can eat drink and be merry without it cos ting her a cent. She can get divorced from her husband when ever she sees any one she likes better. And she can run into debt all over, until he warns the public by advertisement, not to trust her on his account any longer. A humorous young man was driving a horse which was in the habit of stopping at every house on the roadside. Passing a country tavern, where were collected together some dozen coun- i trymen, the beast, as usual, ran opposite the j door, and then stopped in spite of the young man, who applied thewhip with all his might to drive the horse on. The mien on the porch com mnened a hearty laugh, and some inquired if he would sell the horse. "Yes," replied the young man; "but I cannot re'ommtiend him as he once belonged to a butcher,i and~ stiPns whesmever he hears the calves bleat''" Trho crow-:1 retired to the bar in silence. ExEncisas i'N C~orncmsm.-The great ad vantage of these is, that they secure the doctri-1 nal instruction of the young. And for this their is, there cani be no substitute. .Rehpious histo ry is good, and the precepts of relig:)S knowl edge is good ; but doctrine is not only gocd, hut it is better; nay, best. Doctrine is the gib- 1 stance of history, of preept, of all religious knowldgc. Children brought up on sounid doe trine are of more mature and vigorous growth, better able to comprehend thme preaching of theJ Word, and thus in a position more favorably to - salvation. And when regenerated, they are far more likely to continue steadfast in the faith, and to adorn their calling. TimE NMno's HEAD-knEEP OUT oF: THlE WAT. -On Monday of last week, says the Tampa ~ Peninsula of the 5th instant, While Capt. Park hil was returning from his camp, from this place, the horse his sevvant (a strapping negro man,) was riding took fright and threw the rider. The head of the negro, in his descent, struck the leg of Cant. Parkhill's horse, breaking it, when it t (the negro's head) glanced and struck a tree on the side of the road, peeling off the bark for sev. t eral feet. The negro was stupified for ami instant, I but received no injury. It is supposed that hel belongs to the "hard shell" persuasion. SF.NTENcE OF DEATH AFTER TEN YEAns' IMP~Is oNMEIN.-Th le case of James Copelanmd wbich has been pending for some ten year3, wras tried a few days since, at Angusta, Mississippi, and resulted'in his conviction of murder in the first degree. Copeland was charged with killing one James A. Har-vey, and has been found 'guilty twice before by thec juries of the coutry, yet, by resorting to the technicalities of the law~, he has been enabled to gain trial after trial to the lpre sent time. On the verdiet being rendered the 1 Judgepronouncd upon him the sentence of i death, orderinig him to be executed Friday, the 30th of October. To be hung, after ten years, awful imprisonment in a miserable county jail, is rather a hard ease. IHoa BalG H T.-TimneS like the present, test tme integrity of men of business. Like the cru cible to gold, so is a panic to the characters of those affeicted by it. An exchange says truly1 that: Thme men who will best succeed in these times -will be men of courage, who will struggle to the Slast to pay-cevery claim. Compassion will also be much needed, for there must and will be much suffering. And of all the community he Swill be the most deserving who can find profi ~table employment for the greatest number of woking people. Above all things, let personal honor and integrity be kept above suspicion by those who have yet retained it. There is no loss so great or so injurious to society as the loss rof these. The word of an honest man, his bearing and his very look, will inspire whole someie confIdence when banks fail, and all secu erities are prostrate. The real bankruptcy of the acountry would be the bankruptcy of these, s-ould they fail. 'Alas ! they have already faita i individual cases of high trust ; but t,he great majrity of our people will rise from all these ,etroubles with a firmer conviction t.Jat "righte 'uaes exaltth~ a. natiV ro.& loti American.

On the 1st day of fanuary, 1847, the right wing of the regiment, r ider command of Lt. Col. Dickenson crossed t he Savainah river at Augusta. "The Gover- c ior accompanied them to the middle of the c )ridge, the'limit of his jurisdiction, and having I >lessed them, and sent them forth to serve their d ountry, there he stood until the new bright v >anners of the companies disappeared from the f riew, and he heard 'the booming cannon of F kugusta's hearty welcome. Then- silent and t n tears slowly he turned his steps,-his warm and swelling heart, no doubt, oppressed by I omie sad presentiment of the fate of many a a yous youth sent forth never to return."* 1 The right wing was taken by railroad to riffin, Georgia, from which point they march- s d on foot to Notasulga, Alabama. t On the second day oR January, the left wing, il inder Major Gladden, was conveyed on the s ars to Atlanta, Georgia. We struck our tents t the morning, and marched to Augusta, where t :ars were engaged to convey us to Atlhnta. %bout four o~clock in the. evening we crossed v he Savannah. We were -halted upon the a ridge, to take a last, lingering, and fqnd look ipon our native State, which so many of us vere nef'er to see again. .We fired a salute of s nusketry to " our native land," cast the last s ook upon its blue horizon, and wiped the in- p *oluntary tears that flowed from eyes unused fi o weeping. But the struggle of feeling was, on over,--tho order to "march" was given, i' ad to the sound of martial music, the boom- a g of hospitable cannon, the wavings of ladies' s andkerchiefs, and withi every demonstration of 'l relcome, sympathy, and admiration, we march- r :d through Augusta. I received one act of c umble hospitality which I can never forget. ' far the depot was a poor and humblle family, p rho lived in a neat little cottage. A little girl t ,bout ten years old, came to me, and begged t ne to go 'home with her. There was in her e ice such a genuine expression of benevolence 1< nd sympathy, that I accepted -the invitation. 1 ler mother and father who were French, gave a se the warmest and kindest welcome, and soon t he little table was set, and a hot supper spread 1 efore me. The mother and daughter evinced n he most affectionate solicitude for inc. "HIad a father ?" No. ."HIad I a mother?1" No. boor little fellow so lonely and bereaved, and I ras "going to the bloody wars to be killed ?" Emid a shower of prayers .and benedictions, ~ rm the kind old woman, and the tears of her t ittle daughter, I left them; nder a promise hat if ever I got back, I would call at "theC ittlo house with two chiimnies" and see them The old lady had sent her daughter with in-r tructions to bring home " a soldier" with her. iho was toinake the selection, and I was th6 t rtunate favorite. I was then a stripling, mooth-faced boy, pale with study, and I sup- y >ose my youthfulness excited the sympathy of he little girl. It-was singular good fortune to t iave got a good hot supper just before starting, a or it was the only meal I had for nearly two lays. This may .be thought, and doubtless is,t 1,triling incident, bus it illustrates, the kind iess and patriotism of a poor, ignorant woman. cr country was 'at war, its soldiers were at ir door, and she felt a patriotic wish to do an umble act of kindness to-one of them. She , ~herefore cooked 'a hot supper and commissioned .ier little daughter to go. anil bring home "a ldier." About sufldown on the'2d of January we left md on the next night reached Atlanta. -Then tlanta was a little village of 300 population. he railroad had just reached'there and it had ust begun its magical rise-to importance. It ow has 10,000 population. The weather was raw, cold,- and wet. The rain fell in a constant luice, the heavens were dark as Erebus, and the cold chilling wind blew fiercely upon us.] We hadnothing to eat, and nowhere tosleep. NIy~supper thiat night was a hard sea-biscuit mnd'a;. fat. slice of bacori, broiled on a sharp I tick,oer a pine knot fire. My bed that night was oninplained plank,' six inches wide, in a da'ml and foetid box oar. - The next day we struck.,camp about a mile from,.tlanta. We were poorly provided with Gen. MoGowan" address before the Palmetto :ents, and the continuous and pelting rains kept is wet to the skin. We were detained two or ,hree days at Atlanta, before we could get wag ons to transport our baggage and equipage. bout the 6th of January we took up the line >f march for Notasulga, Ala., a distance of 150 niles. Our hardships were very great. The ;overnment had not furnished tents or equipage, >r given us a dollar of money. We had no overnment officer with us with funds or credit, :o supply us even with provisions. The State >f South Carolina lent us the few tents we had, nd also our arms. At our own expense, and rith our private funds we supplied ourselves. t rained nearly every day, during the ten days if our march, and with clothes saturated with rater, we laid down at night upon damp ground nd wet blankets. Pneumonias and other dis ases were thus contracted which in a few weeks ecimated the ranks of the regiment. Most of is were boys, inexperienced in hardships, ten erly raised, and not capable of making the best f our circumstances. The Georgians treated us generously, and ospitably. In every village we passed, the rhole population turned out to greet and wel ome us, and many gentlemen hearing of our oming had large quantities of provisions cooked rhich were freely given to us. Others, of less oul, furnished it for the money. I will here digress a little to tell a romantic ittle incident. As we passed the village of Tewnan, late in the evening, I determined to emain that night, as I had several letters to rrite. I told my college chum, who was with ae, of my intention. He also concluded to tay. Our extreme youthfulness and handsome ess (we were handsome boys) obtain( ior us eculiar favor, especially with 'the ladies. A eautiful girl was one of our company at tea. ,y chum was an eloquent talker, and a capti 'ating fellow every way, and before we rose rom the table he had won at least one heart. went to my room to write-he went to the arlor, and remained there till eleven. He ame up late, and told me he intended to stay a few days." I left him next morning, and id not see him again until he overtook us at fobile. He showed me a lock of silken, jet ilack hair. He was ennaged to the beautiful maiden, but death forbace the bans. He was illed at Chepultepec. As I stepped over his ody, weltering in blood, I thought of his beau ifu betrothed-not to be his bride. Poor leyward -' Green be the turf above thee Friend of my better days." After a march of ten days we reached Nota ulga, which was then the terminus of the Ala ama railroad. A pleasant ride cf a few hours i open cars, brought us to Montgomery about o'clock in the evening, about the 17th day of 'anuary. We were. drawn up in a line to re eive the visits and congratulations of the citi ens, and then marched to the river, wherp the teamboat William Bradstreet, whichhad been hrtered, was waiting for us. .ia LIGIOUS INTOLERANCE#-. It is a common impression that the'spirif6f eligious intolerance does not exist in this coun ry-yet we have received evidence enough to Mince us that this is a great mistake. In ur own State, intolerance and bigotry have ex ibited themselves in a marked manner. We o not hesitate to say that the proceedings to hich we refer call for the greatest rebuke om those who would oppose, as exceedingly ernicious, such narrow and contracted views of bings. We allude to therecent action of the Associate formed Church, as reported in the Telescope nd epitomized in the Yorkville Enquirer. That aper says: " Dr. Boyce, from the committee to furnish itable testimony against dancing, submitted be following objections: '1. It has a dissipat ig effect upon the mind and disqualifies it for ber thought or religious duties. 2. We tes ify against promiscuous dancing because it leads excess. . *~ . . .3. We testify against it because it brings its otaries into contaminating associations.' These ,ntiments were adopted by the Presbytery. Again: " A member of the Tirza congregation was spended from the church for marrying the ister of his deceased wife, and required to ap ear at the bar of Presbytery and show cause >r his delinquency." These now are the two points of the proceed igs of the Church referred to, upon which we, re animadverting. They involve matters with rhich we think that body have nothing to do.1 'o characterize thus, without Scriptural war-i int, the acts of dancing, and marrying a de-i eased wife's sister-this, we contend, is an un-1 rarrantable interference with the freedom of rivate action. We shall not attempt to prove bat there can be no sin in dancing, nor that1 bere is no sin in marrying the sister of a de eased wife-these matters we are content to myve to the judgment of impartial christians.1 IThen we read of the threatened censures of the (ssociate Reforened Church with regard to things hat concern not it, we turn to Papal Bulls of iy-gone days, and ask are extremes going to ieet.-South Carolinian.

TuE EXT SENTOR-COL. PICKENS. We have already expressed our preference of Col. Pickens as the successor of Judge Butler in the Senate of the United States. We know of no one in the State more fit for the position, under existing circumstances. Col. Piclens has been long in the service of his State, and was for many years distinguished as a debater in the House of Representatives of the United States. He has shown his Idisinterestedness and patriot ism by refusing all the high federal honors which have been tendered him. He is a ready deba ter, and that is what the State needs in the Sen ate at this time, to repel the assaults made on her, and vindicate her policy and the policy of the country. Col. Pickens is a gentleman of Feat information, and a ripa scholar. No one as more thoroughly studied the true principles of our Government and the policy of the State. He has always been a State Rights man of the Strictest school, and yet a liberal statesman, with enlarged views of public policy. He is the wner of a large fortune iavested in South Caro lina in lands and negroes. If any son of the Rtate is worthy of being trusted by her, we think Col. Pickens is, from his interest in the State, his honor and integrity and disinterestedness.as a politician, his talents and ability, his ancestral Inheritance, and every feeling of pride and duty which can operate on the human mind. I Col. Pickens is a Democrat in feeling and I principle. He believes in the intelligence and patriotism of the people. He recognizes the 1 people as the source of all power, and thinks 8 ,hey should exercise directly as much political power as is consistent with their feelings and n wishes. He is for maintaining the rights of the 3outh by acting with the Southern people, who have a common interest and a common cause with us in South Carolina. In thus maintaining 4 ind defending our constitutional rights, he will 0 rladly accept the aid of the Democrats, North. C East and West, who will fight with us and stand )a our platform. Whilst we can maintain our n quality in the Union, he will gladly preserve d he Union, and no longer. At present we have the Executive, a majority c >f the Senate, a majority of the House of Rep- d resentatives, and the ederal Judiciary with us, md he is not disposed to despair of the Repub- f, ie. The South is united, and a portion of the a gorth, sufficiently strong to give us the power >f the Government, is acting with us. In other 14 words, the South is at the head of the Govern- p nent, and with a party at the North, has the e ,ontrol of it. This is the very condition we re- h ember to have heard Mr. Calhoun express his m trdent desire to see the country in. In regard o the present administration, Col. Pickens is ii isposed to sustain it, so long as it sustains-the Jonstitution and the rights of the States. . DARING BALLooN AsCENsION AT Ar.BANY. arrow Escape.-Professor Marion made a hal oon ascension from Albany on the 1st inst. At he first attempt the balloon struck against a ree and was badly torn. The Journal, however, lays: "The rents were at once - sewn up, and, con Miderali eited; the professor.determined-to ry again. He cut loose the basket, tied the uspension ropes in a knot together, and seating e iimself on the knot, clinging with his hands to tj he ropes, away, in his critical position, he went, eaving ballast, grapnels and everything else be tind, and rose with considerable rapidity, having , br his support only the cords pendent from the >alloon. It was really a fearful sight to see him inging to the little net-work of cords which as alone interposed between him and certain lestruction. When about two hundred feet up, attempting to change his position, he appear- C d to lose his hold, and pitched head downward, t is though about dashing to the earth, which ti !aused a thrill of horror to the spectators. It ir vas at this time he lost his cap.. He, however, a -ecovered himself, and the ascension to quito a listance was grand, when the balloon took a h ioutherly direction, and the last seen of it was t the hills back of Greenbush. He lauded in a 14 wamp five miles beyond Sand Lake, having a raveled fifteen miles. He was almost perished ri vith cold, and was taken to a farmer's house, n her he was kindly cared for. HALL's S-rUMP MAeBINE.-The Maine papersr somment very favorably on this new macline. f'hey say it can be easily worked by three men. :t consists merely of two upright wooden posts thout two feet apart, standing on feet and sup- t orting a three inch iron shaft having a small t achet wheel at each end. A chain is passed tl mder one of the main roots of the stump, and t< ittached to the shaft-and then wjth capstan r mars of eight feet in length, an immense power tl brought to bear on the shaft, and the stump aised so far that the roots are detached from ~ heir hold upon the ground. The stump is then Y propped up on one side three feet high, and the ~ arth on the stump soon dries and can be rattled e >aek into the hole, leaving the ground smooth.d [hey saw the stump of a tree throe feet in di- s imeter, raised in about fifteen minutes. With " hiree men the machine, it is said, will remove sixty or more ordinary tumps per day.n Soxx of the papers are lecturing women upon ft xtravagauce in dress, and advising them to re ;rench, especially during the present financial liieulty. Doubtless there are many cases of m unwarrantable extravagance in this way;i but o people ever consider that two or three glas- n es of brandy and half a dozen regahias indulg- n id in daily by a man, to say nothing of five and d en dollar dinners, amount to more in a year ec han would be required to dress a woman up to f< he full seguirements of fashion ?

Theextract is fromR. Barnwell Rhetis ration on Calhoun: "Hugh S. Legare was a; man of too much - eart for politics. His French temperament uick to resent yet easy to forgive, warm, guile ss and confiding, rendered him too unhappy ad too disappointed when tossed on the boiste >us and adverse waves of public life.
