Sr. NICHOLAS, NEW Yon, Jan. 14 Mr DEiA COLOEL:-Confined to the Interior of the St. Nicholas, and cut off from fa ieuds and sight. seeing by floods of rain, it has occurred to me to in. dite an epistle to the Edgoyjeld Adrertiaer ! In to doing,j uld I be presumptuous ? A German proverb, in grea epute says, " boldly ventured is half won," so acting thereupon and without further ceremonies, I begin-feeling that should these details be not meet for the public eye, their private circulation among certain friends, will at least, be not unaccestable. After a stormy and most villainous passuge by Sea from Charleston, I am again safe upon the bosom of mother earth, and so-journing in the marble palace, whose natne stands above. My first feeling upon reaching New York was one or great amazement at the mild and beautiful weather-as clear, soft and sunny as beneath the loved sky of old Edgefield ; and so, I am told, it has been all the fall and winter. 'Tis raining at this very moment to be sure, but still quite warm. Does not this, under present circum. stances, the pressure in the onay narket and desti. tution of the poor'. seem like the watchful care of gentle providence? New York is a 'world of itself, and truly the most wonderfr place in the world-and the St. Nicholas is yet another world. To spend a night and day within its walls is of itself a grand ex perience! The royal magnificence of this Hotel seems to increase year by year; and in every appurtenance for convenience or pleasure, it is certainly unparalleled. To see the grand dining hall alone, blazing 'rith gas, crystal and silver, radiant with beautiful and beauti fully arrayed women and high bred looking men* animated by the cotnstaut stream of white aproned and gloved waiters, all enrelsised within walls of msir rors and pink and silver frescoes, is worth a trip fronr any part of the-shall I say world or Uniun ? And the viands rest assured, detract in nowise from tha picture-morning, noon, era and night they art spread out in infinite variety and glorious available ness. But how annoying are some of their regula tions ! For instauce, when one does'nt eat fish to bi obliged to sit and flirt with fork and spoon, literall.) .- .. restitng upon one's oars, till others have consumec untold quantities. Such rules are positively insult ing-especially in a free country ! ' The St. Nicholas sems to be the rendezvous o very distinguished people-in the pairlouirs attd at thi table, one meets individuals fameus in polities, letters art and fashion. And here too are to be seen some nay many, of the most countryfied, backwoods-look ing and unpresentable specimens of the Anglo-Saxor race 'tis possible to imagitne. They keep one con stantly in mind of sights seen at a Western Canm Meeting ! Last evening. observing the psarlouirs ant passages unusually thronged, and the pserformers o a well known band running to and fro with their in strumenrts, I concluded some tretmendous hero or data cr or singer or refugee, nothing less than Sumner Walker, or P'aulding, Fanny Ellaler or liosati, Jenna Lind or Grise, Kossuth or M~artin Kosta, was ab'ou to come or go. flreathless with curiosity, andi witi eyes widle open. I singledl out from amnontg tihe crowd an unworthy looking individual, whom I judged might be safely inrterragatedl. I d~d interragarte himu, and his answer was " a dinner of the hard ware Mler * chants." Bahb! to hare ones ideas dragged suddenly down from orations, vivats, grandl arias, &ce., &ce., te pots, kettles, gridirons and grates. 3My first achievement in sight-seeing (there being no music) was the Ravels. These have bseon playing~ at Niblo's exquisite theatre the longest and most suc cessful engagement ever heard of-were they to sta~ in New York fromn January to January agatin, I verily belive they would never lack a house rammed, crammed and j.ammedl. Strange how people love nonsense for these same ltavels prlay nothing but utter non sense. ]Jut ino, I beg pardon of you, enchantini lievels, for in thinking of your plays, I forget your monstrosus and miraculous agility ! The star of thc Company at present is one Mil1e.

Shall I call the searching ump of old friends at achievement in sight seeing ? This I undertook or Thursday, which is in New York an almost genera] reception day, anti consequently I met and saw many sights during the undertaking. Pouring into and out of every house at which I called was a throng ot elegantly bedizened gentlemen and ladies. And oi the latter ! Arrayed in what is hrere called carriage Costume-pink, blue, green anrd crimson silks, flounced, fringed, velveted, buttoned, stripedi, streaked and plaided all at once-such as in our land we never see even at grand balls. And velvets, sables, ermines, cashmeres, jewels, laces, flowers, feathers and last, but bty no maans teust-hoops. Oh the mountainous and gigantic hoops ! The space over wIch Didk mnade the bull's le stretch at the founding or Car thage could easily be covered and hid by the smallest hoop in New York. These reception day calls never exceed five minutes, and it seems necessary, or fash ionable rather, to be in an incessant flutter, a perfect St. Vitus dance, all the time. After "good morning" ad introductions to those present and those follow ing upon one's heels, "good-morning" (tis " morning" until 8 P. M.) is again said, and the visit has been perpetrated. Now I am going to tell of some onre, of whom al moest every body knows more or less, Charles Mrrt thews, the star of the English comic boards, the friend and protege of Lady Blessington, the husband of Madame Vestus ! He is playing at Burton's, and and at present one of the lions of the town. But I am much disappointed in him-old stagers here tell meg he is no longer what he was. In person and voice too, he is thin and weak, and although natural, grace ful and spirited, yet taking into mind his great repu tation, niot striking enough, not sufficiently superior to any comedian onte has ever seen before. I dare say asig he plays here in productions arnd in rolis and EDITOR PRESENTED WITH A BIBIE.-The Ral eigh Register says: "1 Some pious person has presented Squire Ridgeway, of the Whig, with a beautiful Bible. The Squire is in a quandary as to whether the unknown donor intended the gift as a rebuke for his sinfulness, or a reward for his piety! There can be no earthly doubt that the gift was designed us a reward for very great piety, (!) and as a stimulous to renewed vigor in wrestling with the world, the flesh and the devil! I" ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. EDGEFIELD, 5. C. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1858. RULES THAT MUST IN FUTURE BE OBSERVED.

The article of "S" of Hamburg, was received too. late for publication in this Issue of our'paper, it shall appear in our next. Also the well written article of "PicNay" on "Military Schools" will have to be deferred until next week for want of room. We bespeak for this piece careful perusal asembodying some new thoughts upon this subject. "CANDOR'S" communication has also been received, but unavoidably postponed. OUR EDITOR. We publish below the just and flattering notices of the " Charleston Courier" and the Charleston Ere ning Xeu-a of the Colonel. "Amongghe visitors drawn to our city by the in ducements and advantages of the season, we are pleased to neet and greet Arthur Simkins, Esq., Edi tor of the EdUefleld Adeertimer.

He is just the mai to enjoy the Opera, Thal berg's Concert, and all other good things in Charles ton, including those of that princely Hotel, the Mills' House, (where lie is staying,) and to describe them richly too."-Charleton Erciig Ke.si.

B."1 We would call the especial attention of our art loving renders to the beautiful and exquisitely writ ten letter of our erratic friend. It is a perfect gem of its kind and cannot be surpassed by any one. It is as good as being in New York. We can see him now sitting in that darkly shaded room, gazing with intense pleasure upon that master piece of art. He has an eye to discover and a heart to appreciate all that is beautiful and good in this world. May kind . angels protect him wherever he goes. GARDEN SEED. Mr. G. L. Pr.xx is now receiving an extraordinary supply of fresh Garden Seed, which he warrants gen uine and of last year's crop. It will soon be time to commnencb gardening operations, and perhaps it would be well to secure your full assortment of seed without delay. Mr. PENN's stock appears to be saffici0ntly -varied and quite complete. GOOD BACON AND CHEAP. Those enterprising Merchants, Messrs. W. R. A T. [S. Huosox, it will be seen, have just received another Sfresh lot of line country cured Bacon, which they are selling very rapidly to our citizens at only a slight shade abo-ve the Augusta market-barely enough to pay fur hauling. They seem to have the good of the -public in view in this particular, and we think their efforts to compete with the merchants of Hammburg -and Augusta should receive the hearty coigmendation of the trading community, hy bestowing on them a 3generous encouragement whilst they are laboring sc assidluously for the benefit of our people. They aro satisfied with "small profits anid quick sales,"-and are, as above stated, selling at low figures for cash. All ye half-starved Uncon con~suiunmers wouldl do well to cali soon. DANCING ACADEMY. Prof. J. W. lweos, the popilular teacher '.f this grace futl art, is now giving lessons to a large clitss in the "Odd Fellows aind Masonic H~all." Some few of our fashionable young men have deelined attending, alledg ing as their reason, the unlimited extension of crino.. line, which deprives dancing of one half of its pleasure. We have always beeni fond of the "round dances,' especially when we were so fortunate as to secure a beautiful young lady for a partner, for we kimow of but few things moore fascinating than the inniocent privilege of softly encirling the fairy waist of a charm. ing young lady. We frankly confess a dlecidled weak~ ness for it. We are in favor of this harnmless pastime, despite the lines of the club-fuoted polet, who could niot dance, and the strinigenit resolutionis lately passed by the "Alabama Methodist Conference." EDGEFIELD MALE ACADEMY. By reference to the advertiseent it will he seen thait the Trustees of this Institution have miade ar rangemnents to estaiblishi it upon a firm and we hope, a lusting bnasis. Mr. LEsMiE the principal lias devo ted his life to the Profession of School-teaching andl is well known ini mny poirtioms of the Stumte for his ability and proficiency. ilis integrity of charneter. high sense of honor and moral wortm entitle him to the confidence and patronage of our citizens. Mr. Do wni, his assistant, is a genitlemnan of high character and attainments, and will no doubt do himiself credit. There is no reason why a first class Academy should not be established in our village. Containing within itself all thme prerequisits, with a large iind wealthy IDistrict to sustain it, a High School might be lo cated here which in point of efficiency would be equal to s.ny in the State, amnd supereede the necessity of our boys and young men going abroad to procure ,even a primary education. The temptations to dissi -pate are no greater in this village than in others. " Boys will be boys" wherever they are plaeed, and it is only necessary thait the villagers should bring their disap~probation to bear upon anything like ini subordination or riotous conduct, to which all boys are prone, to suppress it. We feel no hesitancy in saying that with a fair support from thme country, the efficient and public-spirited Beard of Trustees will build up a School which will he the pride of the Dis trict and of invaluable benefit to her citizens. By reference to another columni it will be seen that the exercises in this Institution will be resumed on the accond Monday in February next. A CO3IPLETE GROCERY IIOUSE. The attention of our Merchants andl citizenis gen erally is directed to the card of Messrs. T. J. A C. H[. Mosz, Wholesale and Retail (irocers, of Charleston, S. C. Onie of our office has just been on a visit to that City and speaks in the highest terms of this House, anid of the quality and prices of Glouds offered by theaim. Their stock, lie says, is large and varied, comprising erery thing in the Grocery line-as well as the fine.1t wines and liquors, segars, confeetionary, &c., &c. To those of our Merchants and others buy ing their Groceries in Charhuiston, we confidently recommend the Messrs. Morse-and whilst there we would say he sure and form the acquaintance of Mr. MEr~vI M. COurEN, one of their gentlemanly and ac commodating assistants. $9'Mr. Schoocleraft, says he has never yet heard Indians " swear." They have terms to indicate cheat, liar, thief, murderer, coward, fool, lazy man, drunk. ard, babbler; but I have never heard of an impreca -SOCIETY AT THE SOUTH. The society of the South, we regard as in some re spects superior to that of any part of the world. The I English are proverbial for their reserve and stateliness t -the French for their elegance and vivacity, and we T of the South are a kind of intermediate of the two, r having the "fortiier in re" of the former, and the e "eariter in modo" of the latter, beautifully and bar- v men' usly blended together. This we regard as the seer t of the fascinating infauence that is exerted by 1 Southern ladies and gentlemen at home and abroad. t But with all the many advantages that society at the J South enjoys, an observing eye will not fail to per- c ceive a want of sincerity pervading the intercourse of I the sexes, which can be found no where else. Even un- I der the easy familiarity of Northern society, there ex- I ist greater confidence than with us. The spirit of coquetry seems to prevail in our midst as a mania. It has infused Itself into the various relations of South ern society, and has become so common, that but lit tle if any confidence now exist between opposite sexes. This disease of society is not confined to castes. The high and the low, the educated and the uneducated, are alike subject to t. Neither is it limited to one sex to the exclusion .of the other, or even to the un married, for some that have assumed the holy vows of wedlock are voted decidedly fast. The youth just entering the attractive saloons of the gay and fashionable, soon becomes entangled In the artful meshes spread by a belle that has spent two 'or three summers atiwatering place, or one that has enjoyed the advantages of city life, Ile drinks in with delight the delicate compliments bestowed by this seemingly most innocent and unsophisticated of all human creatures-surpassing even the ingenious manners of a country school-girl. le listens to the soft sweet notes of bir israfelian voice as she sings some beautiful and touching song of the afectionis, and soon realizes in her his beau ideal of a lady. She, with that quickness of perception so peculiar to, her sex, seeing her poison working successfully, graceful ly presents to him a bouquet of rare and oderiferous flowere, and thia after refusing to part with them at the solicitation of her many admirers. This last mas ter stroke fills him with a perfect delirium of pleas ure. He escorts her to her carriage-she gently presses his hand as he assists her in, and softly whisp era In his ear, that she will be pleased to see him soon at her home. His destiny is fixed-she has sown the seed of his eternal unhappiness; and she, a gay, bril liant, attractive and heartless coquette, retires to her boudoir and sleeps calmly and quietly-the measure of her vanity being full to overflowing. Our young hero follows up in quick haste his seeming good for tune, and early declares his enthusiastic love. She, true to her nature, affects the utmost surprise at his feeling revelation-she coldly looks upon him, and with a haughty nod of the head rejects his proffered love; but assures him that she will be pleased to con sider him as one of her best friends. le, disgusted with society, turns woman hater, and veeks pleasure in the wine cup and at the gaming table, and is soon lost forever. But to reverse the picture, how often do we see a thoughtless young man by marked attentions and courtly phazes, win the esteem of an impulsive girl leads her to expect that he will some day solicit her hand in honorable marriage; but he abandons her and leaves her to repine over misplaced and unre quitted love. He thus boldly and recklessly tampers with the most sacred thing in life, the tender feelings of an inexperienced girl, to gratify his unequalled self-love for the passing moment, and this too regard less of the fact that he is embittering the future hap piness of a warm-hearted and gifted woman. le can do all this according to the present organization of Society, and still he is recognized by some as a gentle man.. "Love is of man's life a thing apart, 'Tis woman's whole existence." We regard the practising of such arts by a lady as quite a fault, but with all their faults we can but like them-and will endeavor to overlook this trait of their character, for the charming creatures cant help it. But in a man it Is feminine and absolutely dis honorable, and as such we must condemn it. It must be regarded as one of the evils of Society, and is, withoutdoubt, a gre&agback to thedivine institution of nmarrlage It has done more to diminish the in crease of population than all the fallacious principles promulgatedhby Malthus and his deluded followers. We have no remedy to suggest and must else by wish ing that the God of Love may have mercy uplon the souls of all that have siinned in this particular. KAOLI. We have received a begitiful Pitcher from the Fac tory of Mr. FAInAn & Co., situate at the above place, which is about six miles East of llamburg. It is of an elegant shape, the outside resembling wicker work, perfectly smooth, white and diaphanious. This charm ing Ware is equal if not superior to any that we have ever seen from China. We understand that it meets with ready sale. This Factory was established some time in the year 18S57. We are glad tosee this addi tional developement of the resources of the State, ind wish fair the company abundant success. Our friend Mr. M. who has just given this Pitcher a very critical examination, suggests that the only defect that he can discover is that it has inthing in, it to drink. " Chaque un son gout." AN ADDRESS. We acknowlelge the receipt of an A'ldress dlelivored before the " Euphemian and Pheclomatheon Literary Societies of Erskine College " by RIeniAD YEADoNJ, Esq., the distinguished editor of the "Charleston Courier," on the subject of " Slavery, and its Federal itelations." We have read this address with much pleasure andl profit, and regard it as exceedingly ap propariate to the times and the occasion, for there is no subject upon which not only the younig men of the South but even the old aroso lamentably and ignorant as that Slavery. Whilst the Northern intellect is concen tratedl upon this subject, in order to find sonic weak point of attack, we remain inactive relying utpon the truth and strength of our cause. Few of our great men have written upon this important questfinn. It is true we have many speeches on the subject delivered in Congress, but they usually appecar ini a perishable formi. We know of but one book on this subject, which is a compilation of the pieces written by Chan cellor Hlanm'in, Goy. H[Axxosal and Dr. Sunross of our State,' and Prof. Dew of Virginia, styled the "Pro Slavery Argument." Mr. YEADOS has ably andl sue cessfully brought forward the Constitutional and is torical argumnut upon this subject. The address de serves tobe incorporated with the pieces above referred to. The whole address is written in an easy and unia dorned style, bearing -impress of elaborate research and close logical reasoning; thme exordium and perora tioni evincing that the author is also well skilled in the graceful and eloquent use of language. We com mend it to the careful perusal of all who may be so fortunate as to secure a copy. GOV. HAMMI3OND. We clip from the editorial columns of "The Patriot and Mountaineer," the subjoined notice of our newly elected United States Senator. No one has ever been raised to office under more flattering circumstances than Gov. HAuxosN. He was called from the ease and quiet of domestic life to this high post of honor1 by the voice of the Legislature. The mantle of the beloved litTLP.n couldi not have fallen upon one that will wear it with more ease and grace to hinmself and homier and usefulness to South Carolina: "This distinguished gentleman has taken his seat in the Senate of the United States, and has been placed on the Navyal Committee, instead of Judge Evans, who made the proposition. The rumoir that (Governor. Hammond repudiates the Lecompton Constitutions and approves the position of Judge Douglas, is ridiculous ly absurd. We hays no doubt that Governor Ham mend will sustain the course pursued by the Presi. dent as to the admission of Kansas, and that the ountry will have a full exposition of his views when the debate occurs on that question in the Senate. No man in the South is better acquainted with the Insti tution of slavery, or has studied it more thoroughly In all its hearings, than Governor Hammond. Very few have a deeper interest personally in slavery than Governor Hammond, and lie is a statesman of ma tured wisdom, great ability and calm judgment. None need, therefore, doubt his correct course on this mblject."( pir- The city builder, to save cost of land, runsy his builings up two, three or four stories high. So I should the farner cultivate his farms, dewnward e very inferior to those ho has been accustomed to, for the drama and dramatic taste seems to be at a low ebb. Nothing but burlesques and extravaganzas of the most burlesque and extravagant style seem to draw. At' Burton's too is to be found the inimitable Brougham, the intellectual, the witty, the brilliant, the whole-souled son of Erin, as he grows older, his face, figure and fame, pen, personations, and, I sup pose, heart and soul into the bargain, seem to grow younger. His great burlesque " Colunbus," creates a perfect stampedo at Burton's every night. He does Columbus himself, and his song, in the travestied Op era style, giving an account of his life up to his ap plication to the Spanish Court, is the rarest piece of wit and humour I have ever seen or heard. Fancy besides that you hear Ferdinand of Arragon say in the most majestic voice possible to Isabella of Kastile, "Bell, hold your tongue." I have brushed up my acquaintance too with the Wallack troupe. Lester, the handsomest fellow in New York, whose face and figure nightly fills his father's theatre (his real name is Lester Wallack, he being a son of old James Wal. lack,) with the gayest and most bewitching of Goth. am's matrons and maids. Alas, that poor womem should always peck so nimbly at such chafi! He hai been a sad dog I believe, ran away with the daughte: of an English Clergyman, who Is frightfully jealous, and even sleeps with one eye open; and the elegani Mrs. Hoey, sister of Mrs. Charles Howard and one oi the three famous Miss Shaws, she is not only admirei as an actress, but noted for her exactitude, taste an magnificence in costume. She never leaves New Yorli and Wallack's. At this, the most fashionable of all the theatre, they are playing, and have been for weeks, I believe " the poor of New York." Pictures of maiserabli wretches, freezing to death upon the pavements, corm witting suicide by charcoal in desolato attics in th4 Five Points, &c., contrasted with fetes, feastings an festivals among the aristocracy in Madison square The poor are represented as Angels of virtue ani generosity, and the rich as hard-hearted and unprin cipled hypocrites. All stuff! being poor or riet does'nt alter the heart half as much as'tis supposed to Charlotte Cushman and Matilda Heron, I hav missed, and Fanny Kemblo I have not yet reached Speaking of Miss Heron, she is married to Rober Staepel, the musician and conductor of the Orchestri at Wallack's, brother also of Mrs. Wm. Vincent Wal laceo, who, you muy perhaps not know, is a very emi neut pianiste. The concerts of two laly piano play ers are being very much run after about now in Nev York. The one is French, Madame Ia Comtesse Di Bienville; the other German, Madame Madelein Graever-both are said to be very superior. I hav not yet heard them. Apropos of pianists and violin its, who in Edgefield is going down to Augusta t hear Thalberg and Vieuxtemps ?

The girl raised the alnrim and attempted to seize the fellow, who gave her an tugly cut with a knife, and attacked the mother-in-law of Mr. Scroder who ran to the assistance of the girl dealing her a very severe stab in the shoulder. The fellow then leaped from the window, but was pursued by Mr. Schroder, jtunior, who laid hold upon him, but was obliged to loose him, from the desperate manner in which the fellow ut him about the face. The rascal was finally secured and lodged in the Guard House byofficer Hicks, who, with his usual promptitude, came to the scne of action WASHINGTON. - We have road attentively the papers from the Cap tol, hoping that we might find something upon which a post our readers-they are almost devoid of news matter. The death of Senator Rusic has been an. iounced in the Senate and the House-appropriate ulogies were delivered, amongst them in the House ras that of the Hon. L. M. KrTr, of this State. The political calm that now reigns in Congress is mt the precursor of thstorm that will be raised when he Lecompton Constitution of Kansas is submitted 'he letter writers give brilliant descriptions of Ito eptions and Balls. Lord Napier gives a ball on the 6th inst., in honor of the marriage of the Princess loyal of England, that is to eclipse them all. How re should like to be a "looker on in Venice." AARON BURR. We observe in most of our exchanges the announce. nent of a newly written life of Arnox Bran, by J. ?ARTox author of "Humorous Poetry of the English rWinguage," " Lire of Horace Greely " &c. We have Llways read with great avidity every thing connected rith this remarkable man. The conflicting notices of he above work, coupled with the hope that we may ind something in it to extenuate the faults of this nan of genius, has quickened our desire to secure md peruse it. We regard the biography of Bunn a.s a Ine subject for the student of character, possessing nany qualities to excite our admiration, and not a low that we must unhesitatingly condemn. His char toter is a strange parodox. Some regard his reputa ion for gallantry as giving more interest to his life ;han his varied successes as soldier, lawyer, or states man. The same idea is often expressed concerning Lon Bnox, but to us their numerous intrigues seem is the spots upon the Sun, which serve by the great ,ontrast to exhibit in still stronger light, their more manly achievements. Bunn's scheme of Establishing v Western Empire, to say the least of it, was a splen lid dream and must be regarded as ewinating from a master intellect. We like Buna for his constant and anceasing love for his daughter. In his last hours he ay helpless gazing upon her beautiful portrait with yes moistened with the tears of affection; as strong to was his love for her, this peerless lady reciprocated it to the fullest extent. In one of the clauses of her will she exhibits that posthumous modesty, that must Bver secure the admiration of all who duly appreciate this most fascinating characteristic of her sex. May the shades fall lightly upon the graves of this unfor tunato family. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. _r.

For the Advertiser. Mn. ED-ron-Dea'r Sir: By a letter received from Fn., to a female friendn in Beach Islanud a few days. since. and that letter fromi a teether, we learn of the death of JOI[N TAVELLE, who emigrated to that state about one year since, in the 23rd year of his age, fronm a shot fired by an Inditan in the lig Cypreso' near one of their towns. This young mant enrolled himself in Capt. Wm. Cone's Company of Mounted Volunteers on the 23d July last, anti had been engaged in active service up to thme time he received the fatal shot. Ie was some distance in advanice of his comrades, when the report of a rifle was heard, and on nearing the spot, they found poor TAVyML~ra mortally wounded. Hie expired in a few minutes, and his last word and breath was "Mother." Every mtail which arrived from the seat of war, his mother, Mrs. T., was a regular enquirer at the P'ost Olice, anxiously expecting a letter from herson. At length a letter arrives-the anxious mother opens it, and learns from Capt Cone the death of her darlitng boy! What feeling was this letter calculate to excite in the breast of a fond and affectionate mother ! Death has terrors wheui attended by the soothing hand of a mother, surrounded by all that the heart could wish, but how much more terrible is death amidst the battle shock,'- when the last cry that greets the ieparting spirit is the shout of his victorious comrades. This may some what soothe his agony, but then it is that the memory of the dying youth will turn to his nother's house, and the comforts of his boyhood's koae, hut all in vain. The alacrity and cheerfulness with which he per ormed the ditties of a soldier, gained for him the con idenice of his cotmrades, and the esteem and commen hations of' his oflicers. The deceased has been known to the writer from his faucy, and his kind heart, mild temaper, and amiable lisposition, won for him the regard and love of all sho knew hint. But lie is gone!-gone to exchanige ho earthly vetmtnents for the robe of immortality. 'Let thte mild flowers grow, and thiemocking birdsitig, Wh'ere the youth sleeps, in the land of hisadoption; )isturb not his rest, but let the willow tree fling It's low weeping shade, where his spirit will rove.', A.

Ma. EDITOR:-Wo do ni set up to be a censor of public morals, nor to make an unnecessary parade ibout small matters, but there are somo irregularities in the administration of our town affairs which hould je corrocted. On Saturday nights gangs of negroos anl be seen congregated together conducting them !elves in a most boisterous and disorderly manner, evi iently too under the influence of liquor. Thu ques tion arises where do they get liquor and why are they idlowed to collect in such numbers? Our newly elec ted council Is composed of gentlemen of energy and intelligence, and we sincerely hope that they will keep on the "que rire " and correct the evil, for unless they do, it will do away with the possibility of con trolling our negroes and preserving order. A CITIZEN. MELANCIOLY DEATH OF A MisEn.-A few weeks since, a Spanish gentleman of high con nections, named Stephen Despratt, died in Lon don, under circumstances of a most extraordi nary nature. Although in the possession ol wealth to the amount of $150,000 he was so penurious that he denied himself the common necessaries of life, and finally carried his fright ful avarice to such an extent that his landlady was compelled to call in medical advice in con sequence of his being discovered in an insensi ble and exhausted condition in his apartments, the result of actual starvation. On a post mer tem examination, the stomach was found empty, and in a withered condition. His apartments exhibited a most extraordiney collection of mul titudinous trash, picked up by the wretched old miser for years past. It is said that the kind mothers of the east have got so good that they give their children chloroform previous to whipping them. AnMY ORDERS.-Gen.

STEVENS, in the fiftieth year o her age. Mrs. STvNcs had been for nany years confined t her bed, yet she submitted to the chastening rod witl cheerfulness, and bore her afflictions with patience t4 the end. She was not a member of the church, bu had professed faith in the Lord Jesus, long before th close of her earthly pilgrimage, and would have uni ted with the Baptist Church but for physical inabilit; to attend at the Sanctuary of our Lord and Master. She was an affectionate and doting mother; a go< wife: and as neighbor, was kind and charitable; an her death was deeply deplored by all who knew he, She leaves many relations and friends to mourn thei loss. Dir.D, on the 15th of December, 1857, at the resi deuce of her husband, Mr. BExrr Ho.HLLAiD, Mrs ELIZABETH T. A. HOLLAND, daughter of Benj and Martha C. Stevens, in the 31st year of her age. Scarcely had the tears of mourning been wiped from the weeping eyes of the family, for a kind mothr err death again invaded the Sanctuary and took from their ranks a sister, a wife, a mother. Mrs. HoLLANr united with the Baptist Church a Little Stevens' Creek when 14years of age, and by i well-ordered life and Godly conversation adorned t, her death the profession she then made. In all tb relations of life she was kind, dutiful and obliging. She leaves an affectionate husband and several chit dren, together with numerous friends andi relations t mourn their sad bereavements; and whilst we deepl: synpathize with them In their loss, we have ever; evidence to hope she inherits a blessed immortalit; beyond the grave. DIED, on the 10th inst., at the residence of her son Mrs. MARGARET THRAILKILL, relict of Mr. Job: Thrailkill, aged about seventy years. She was a native of North Carolina, but for mana years'a resident of this District. She embraced re ligion many years ago, under the labours of Rev Carson Howell, and united with the Bethel Baptis Church, of which she remained a worthy and consis tant member until her death, bearing the testimonl that she had a good hope-that hope that mal:eth nol nahamed, because the love of God is shed abroad ii the heart-that hope that is as an anchor to the sou botbpure and steadfast.
