A CHAPTER ON MATRIMONY. A young lady out West, in a communion, iou to the Sandusky Register upon the subject of matrimony, says : ? "It is a mournful fact that this world is full of young men who want to marry, but daro not. Deny this, us some will, it is nevertheless true, as we can very easily show. lu this town, for instance, there are some thirty or forty young men, well-to-do in the way of business and sal aries, and yet refuse to take, the step which tliov all want to take, but d<? not. "Why ? The largo majority of them have salaries ranging from live hundred to seven hundred dollars a year. Now the lirst question to bo asked by any sane man, is, can I pioperly suppoit a wi.e, if I take one ? Then he counts the cost of living as the woman of his preference would wish, and lo ! he finds to his amazement, that his income is vast ly loo small to support even a modest moderu establishment ; and, somewhat maddened by the reih ction.he plunges into labor and couits busiuo-sjwiib an assidui ty that takes away his health eventually, in hopes of attaining an income that shall enable him to marry, and have a borne of his offd. And this is tho secret of the hard, unending toil of tho young men of to d iy, who are fast approaching thirty years of age?this is tho reason of so many disappointed men and wailing women, deny or hide it ns you may. "But. savs some r?t>od woman, von do ' CT * J us injustice ; for any woman who truly loves a inau will adopt herself to his cir cumstances with the greatest pleasure.? Hut what man of any sensitiveness, or high sense of honor, would take a woman from easy circumstance-, and a pleasant and well-furuished home, to adorn his four little rooms, and to do his house work, as the first principles of economy would demand of him 1 Few will do it; for, though the woman signifies her willingness to take up with such experience, we are all such creatures of circumstances, that there would be complainings on her part, eventually, and sickness from overexertion, unhappinest from many cares ?all of which would render mariiage ativthiiu' elsA iU??> J- - a tew years of single loneliness, in order to obtain money enough to support a modest house of between twelve and fifteen hundred dollars per year expense, rather than to place a modestly educated woman into the house of six hundred a year, where she must do her own house-work. "iNow, what is the remedy ? Plainly that women must lit themselves to ho such wives as the young men must have. E'se the young men must lit themselves to be such husbands as the women want, and spend the very choicest years of their life in the dismal drudgery of a ceaseless toil, breaking down health, and happiness, only to give themselves up to marriage when the best of manhood is gone. The women must choose for themselves which Jt shall be, for the matter is solely in their hands. Let mothers say to Lhoir daughters, Put on that calico gown; take charge of th a household, and lit yourself to become a wife and mother. Let the ycung woman cheerfully consent to such service; i ml in.-l<ad of lavish ng all thought, and time and money upon the adornment of the body, seek to accustom the hands to proper industry, and to oo'aaaI t 1>? ^ * - * f,,? vuvvi itio ii<urn iu proper mate*. i lift) ] there will bo no louder complaint that j young men can't a fiord, to innrry,' and we , shall have beautiful, modest houses all j around us, and women will have loving j husbands, and all lile, once more, have | something of (ho truthfulness and virtue | which it had in the days of our blessed ' fathers and mothers, when it was wi man's ambition to become the head of i the house, and the mother of noble chit j dren." * There's some good sense for you, girls. - ? i Gerritt Smith's Experiment. The Hee alludes to an experiment of ficrritt Smith, in New York, testing the capacity of the negro, in a state of free dom, to take care ot himself. Smith con fesscd that "out of the three thousand colored men to whom he gave land, probably less than fifty have taken and continue to hold possession of their grants. What is worse, haif of these three thousand hnve either sold their Isnd, or Wen o careless as to allow it to bo sold for tax'I I,o. n? ?.1 - ? "> Muiicmg mm conit??sn>n ul (Jerritt Smith, observe#: '"The people of the North are bsgin* ning, dimly and imperfectly to be sure, to comprehend the moral inaptitude of the black race for a life of I iw regulated freedom. Tliey are reluctantly compelled to acknowledge that, in every instance where the negro has obtained hi# liberty, and been placed in the midst of white men, under favorable circumstance#, for the pursuit of industry and attainment of a competence, the experiment ha# pro ved a signal failure, and they are arrivIng by a slow process of observation and roasoning to the inevitable deduction that tho be-t use which can he maue of the negro is to subject hirn to the mild and intelligent dominion of a master.

CHINESE SUGAR CANE. j Mr. Sani'l Faulkner, has loft at our office j specimen of syrup made from this cane,man ufacturcd by J. I). Faulkner, Esq., a fe\ j miles above this place. So much has bee said and written in reference to the Chines Sugar Cane, that the result of an ex peri ment with it, so near home, will doubtles be appreciated, as well by our readers a by ourself. Mr. Faulkner has n<> mill fo | grinding tlie cane and exprcssid the juic 1 by a very simple apparatus of bis own con ! triving. Tho experiment that Mr. Faulk ner, sen'r, witnessed, was with eighty stalk j oc s'ynip, ami Hie sample preseuted to us was a portion of ibis. In color, it resetn bles the New Orleans Molasses when new is perhaps a shade darker, is decidedly innn of a syrup, and is utore palatenble, accord j ing to our estimate. It is milder than tin j other ami has u somewhat /resit taste, wliicl is owing doubtless to its having been latclj j made. Mr. Faulkner states that the pro ! cess of boiling did not last longer that about fifteen minutes. This experiment we should snv, was i highly successful one, though made unde the greatest disadvantages in respect to ex perience and tho apparatus employed. 1 any additional testimony is required to eon viiiec our farmers of the great value of thii cane, it can be found in numerous simila experiments, reported from various qunr ters of the State. Certainly more can h< j realized from an acre of ground planter | with the seed of this cane, than from ail) j tiling else that we plant, and wc are t?h that it requires no more labor to cuitivaU it, than the same quantity of land plaiitcc in cotton. We will suppose tliut one acre of prounr I will yield 300 pillions of syrup, snd this is not a large estimate compared with aornt that we have seen. 300 gallons of syruj is worth (putting it down fifty per cent be low the present wholesale prices for best molasses) $150. Who realizes the half, or even the third of this snm from an nere of cotton 1 We hate also been shown a stalk of this cane which grew upon Mr. J. A. Ilasseltine's plantation. We learn that he has several acres of it, hut don't know whether he intends making syrup. This was a fine specimen, some twelve or fifteen feet in height, llesides the saccharine matter which the stalk contains, the grain upon the io(i woum aiinosi equal hi quantity an ordinary year of corn. "THE PRESS." We have seen the first issue of Col. J W. Forney's new paper, lately started in Philadelphia, and bearing the ub'Ve title.? It takes its place among the first papers in the Union, and as a political journal, it perhaps has no superior. In the first number is discussed editorially several of the leading questions before this country and the World. 'i*he editor is a staunch snpportei of Mr. Buchanan and his administration, as may be seen by the concluding portion of his salutatory address to the public. "I am not writing as a partisan?I am not nmbitioos of printing a mere party paper ; for, while with firm faith and unfaltering footsteps I will follow constitutional principles to their logical and legitimate conclusions, I Miall at I lie same timO seek to convince thnao who may ditter from ine, hy reason, not by recrimination?by Argument rather than by declamation. And I nm confident that no man. looking at Mr. Huch.-inan'a administration, up to this monient, with disinterested and elevated motives, will deny that that statesman has achieved the 1'ieaidency at an auspicious period for his own fame, arid at a formnute moment for the welfare of the Republic.

THE ELECTION IN CHARLESTON -THE ISSUE. The election on Monthly ;md Tuesday of i Inst week in Charleston, tor a iticinhur to j the State Legislature in place of Col. J. C. ! Jlluiii, deceased, resulted in the choice of Mr. William XVhnlev, by a majority of up. J wards of s|\ hundred votes over his oppo nent, 'J'. (J. Darker, Esq. This election occasioned considerable excitement in Char* lesion and was looked to with interest from other quarters of the State, from the fact, that a foolish issue was involved, such* as those w ho delight in excitement and eon. , trove ray, and the disaffected generally, are < endeavoring to get up all over the State. The Caritlinian stated, as follows, the issue - between, and the position of the two cani didates, and this statement lias been viitual f ly endorsed by the Mercury : "Tjik Kl.ec.tion in Chaki.kslon?T!io 1 candidates for the legislature have defined their position. Mr. Whaley approves, with ^ out qualification, of the resolutions of the '< Democratic party of Georgia and Missisr sippi in their late Conventions, with respect ] to Governor Walker and Ids proceedings in Kansas; and, if elected to the Legislature, I he will vote for that man for the United States Senate, who, possessed of ability 0 j and character, will support the principles li ' and policy of those iesululio:.s in Con t. ! gross.

The late defeat of the American horses - in England, in the contest for the Good' ? w ood Cup. has created immense excitement i among sporting gentlemen in every part of j the United States, Jonathan's spirit is fairly up, and he is rendered more restless an* dor this defeat, from the-fact, that in nlmost j all other instances of a national test with jonn iiuii, maoe tnroiign oilier moan*. hit *?:ih come out victorious. From every quarter comcR the cry I lint a new t ri.il must be submitted, nnd a very general confidence I prevail*, notwithstanding the fate of Prior I nnd Prioress, that American horses are fully j j a match to, if not superior to English one*. The Savannah Georgian is authorized hy ! responsible gentlemen to make the following challenge, which is open to the world, j viz : ' To run n match race of four miles and repeal, al such time as may he agreed upon, post entries for one Hundred Thousand Dollars Aside, the Horses to carry weight for age, to be run over the Ten Rroeck Course at this place. In order to induce our English friend* to accept this banter, we nre authorized to say further, that in the event they should do so, nnd lose the race,live per cent,upon the money staked, or in other words, five thousand dollars will be allowed them to pay the exnunyii, ,.1* I? I-*-.??? This id certainly a liberal and fair proposition, and that the English people should ' not allow to pans unnoticed, it they really i believe in the superiority of their Horses. Mr. Ton llroeek has set them an exnin* i pie of the confidence of American sportsmen, by going to England without any in- I duvements, and entering and running bis horses under many apparent disadvantages.

We tind in tho Charleston StaiuLird a lengthy letter from the Hon. Joseph A. Woodward in relation to Kansas affairs.? A report had been circulated to the effect, 1 that Mr. Woodward had endorsed (Jov. Walker's policy and his acts ; this he explain?, and expresses the opinion that (5ov. Walker is not so much to blame as the Administration that placed him in power?in other words, thai lie has only been carrying om his official Instruction*. He has no idea that Kansas will be a slavy State; but though slavery be not established there, lie 111111 K !S lllill llie ?>OUin IlilS Silll another interest in Kansas ; w liiolt is, that it shall be a conservative free State anil not an abolition State. This is in view of the unsettled sections adioining, which he believes i are of tenfold greater interest to the South I than is Kansas. Mr. Woodward gives n ncli other interI eating matter in reference to Kansas, and i his observations of the workings of the j Kansas and Nebraska Hill, w hieli coming I front one of his practical mind, and who ! was for sonic time in Kansas, is entitled to consideration by the South Tr,o vv'rnet below from his letter, will be rea l with interest : ou perceive that I assume it as a fact, that Gov. Walker's "plan" and policy had j the approval of the Administration. I have i n<>i made this assumption v ilhout leeltng j myself fully authorized in doing so. Hut | do not understand ihi to insinuate that WalI ker's modus operandi has been altogether suited to the wisdom and taste of our l're*i ident. Walker has, doubtless, eniniuitted j some blunders, lie has professed openly, what he was expected to perform insidiously. lie has uneovered, what should have been kept dark. lie has looked the same wax ho rowed, instead of "looking one way and rowing the other." lie has employed what you would call "hectoring," instead of blarney. !! lias not evinced a due ? ]>preuiation of the counsel given by Peggy of the Mug to "I.eetle I'llul," that when he lta<l a point to carry, to do it "by insinivation, not bluster." Herein Walker has probably sinned. And sueli is the depraved nioial taste til" the times, t' at \ tui ta t t! ??.t I t- >nri | ri-cd to hear lite want t?f?lti|?li? it\ chutgid I upon liim, n.i iiir>?rding just grounds lot j Di-inociatic censure. lint as lo my tifWtt it> relation to lla| present stale of nflT.irs it) Kansas, I have hi infilling more to add. When I nirivtd j at la avenworth, I ft n ot the pro-slavery men in deep despair. For never.d days I did not meet with one who pretended to disguise t lie fact t! at the cause of t!ie h'outh was a hopeless one. Those whom we ha I considered boldest, and truest, and most etotipotent to judge, were decided in this j opinion, if I ui< t with nny of an opposite j belief, they were no 11 i f strong passions, j wi;li whom the wish appeared to be latino to the thought. There was n general miirl muring against (Jovornor Walker,but. "t eri practically, nothing was at.stake, they Were I indisposed to open rupture or even loud complaints. (Jt course, I was In qucMty engaged in conversation with my friends I Oil till- sullied, iilld W lit II asLt-d l.tr UK vitvvs, nlwuva replied in substance as ful. low .s: Gentlemen : I never supposed Hint there was nny eliniiee for slm cry in Kansas, r or never expected tiny tiling but evil tt. the South, Irotu the passage ol the Nebr.-iHkn lii l. Villi nppear now to bt- eorilirin d in the Riiiiie opinion. Hot, '.hough slavery be overt brow n, the South >till ban another interest in Kansas ; which is, that it shall be a conservative free State, nod not i n nbol lion State. The consideration of litis inter. | est should shape all our c<? niseis. If, then, joil are to look to some practicable good, j what can yon expect to gain by a rupture w 1 I. Gov. Walker ? If you hop? to make Kai sas a free Stale, you will be dependent I on tli conservative frcefcoitcrs for that result ; and you must maintain the beet re* ; onions you can with tin in. ("an you tlici) ' i?ii into a rupture with liim without a rupture wi.li them ! 15.it you nay they are delighted with Walker's course, nnd consider luiii as identified with them. The value of the interest you have, that Kansas shall be a conservative State, can only be measured hy a ten-fold greater interest w hieli lies beyond, and to whieh it is subordinate. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise has laid open to squatter sovereignty and to sectional contest and strife, I lie Ni o*ho Territory, lying west of Aikansas on Ited River and South of Kansas. This countryis soon to be the theatre of such scenes as yon have lately witnessed in Kansas. It will be so occupied, so fur as the Free States are, in the main, to contribute to its population, not by emigrants in the ordinn ry sense, but, like Kan* is, by u vast body of delegates from abolition societies, nn. der pledge nnd commission, to do all possibio damage to the Houth. Slavery failing there, the alternative of n conservative free State,will be worth almost nothing to the South; f>r a free Slate in that country, with no more than the usual proportion of abolitioni.nts, wnuhl be far more dangerous to the Slave Stales than a thorough abolition Slste in the Kansas territory." ******* I .a no k Yikid ok Wiikat.?
