Washington, February 9.?Gen. \ Sam Houston says hero that ho * knows South Carolina will submit.

Brave and high/minded pconlo will do. He says also that he lias the best chance for the Presidency; and in this he may be right: for such a gov | crnment ought to have just such a j iran to preside over it. lTe aided to ! despoil the South, and if she is weak ! enough to submit to the robbery, j why not finish by submitting to him ?usui riuusion s cnancos are, how-1 ever, sadly darkened by his being a I democrat, at least in nan)0. This party is doomed, North and South. I in Massachusetts it has coalesced j with the Abolitionists, and in New York it has taken as its candidate for the Senate, Mr. l)ix, a man thoroughly identified with the Van Buren ; party.

What sort of adomoerrttic party can be made out of such stuff On the oth- , cr hand, at the South, the poor democrats who have been shouting for the Union and the parly, arc, by theSc events, reduced to (lie last extremity. Their Northern allies, for whose sake they descried the cause ofthcir constituents, have now thrown them aside for the frcesOilers. Where can these Southern Unionists take re futre? A distinguished general officer of I Louisiana, who has seen sonic ser-; vice, writes to a member of congress her?, that the only hope of the South | is in S. Carolina?that if she secedes 1 and the government shall attempt; to coerce her, thirty thousand men from the Southwest will march to her defence ofthe rights of the South, j at their own charge and expense.? You may rely on this, although I am not at liberty to mention names. Every gallant spirit ofthe South is watch mg 11it? course oi your I^tate with eager hope and interest.

( Mr. , of Mo., would preach on the subject of public education, and i calling for a full attendance, as a mat-1 ter of general tnterest was to be laid i before tho public. Many attended, i Ilis discourse treated partly upon ed ; ^cation in general, but chiefly upon 1 the qualifications needed in the superintendent of public instruction, (whose annual salary is $10,000,) and ' concluded by offering himself to the enlightened electors of Nevada as a n/li/1 o f n Iim- 1 tin stf/is?si Tlui inr\ oil ?% i* ! l>(iiivuu(iivy iwt uiu wnn i;? x uu ; of general interest was supposed to be his earnost exhortations at the close, to see that his name was rightly spelled on every vole, as many spurious tickets were in circulation! Is not this an example for clergymen in the elder Stales to be instant 'in season and out of season1 on the Sabbath?before election? At the first election of Alcalde of Georgetown, Dr. Fred- II. was elected without opposition. Just before the closing 01 Ilie polls, a hard-looking character entered Dr. H.s, office, and requested his name on a piece of paper, as he wished to vote for him, out was unable to write. The doctor accordingly wrote his own name. Just after the polls had been closed and his election announced, he was surprised by a visitation from several illKV W# (411 \/*.?l t HVUH.IV07 MIIVIVI III Vv old systfem, was founded entirely upon what lie thought should be law, without regardin/y what was law.

In sticb instances 1l}Q vi4fc?r was always saddled with co?t*v-;for; md our Alcalde, 4it wdulu bo hard indeed for the man ol Ins triends, bearing certain suspicious cases, and preceded by the bard looking c!m!'?e!?r aforesaid.?

The balance hove was decidedly in favor of Justice II. The doctor was really one of the best Alcaldes in the country. Ju fact, he was too good for his office, and shortly resigned it in disgust. Fori line Tellers. As Nashville supports several of this class we thought proper, sonic weeks ago, to write a short paragraph on the subject. We refer to.it again, because we have hoard that the fortune tellers of ourcilv arc reaninrr n . ^ . 1 1 9 , nch harvest by thfcir disclosures ol t!ie future to weak-minded visitors; and because wc desire to relate very briefly, a few facts in the life of a woman, whose name is to this good hour abhorred in the staid city ol Bremen. The woman we refer to was named Trimm. She was by universal eon sent a charming woman ; her man tiers were fascinating, and her person beautiful, attractive, and agreeal)Iq| Although of the burgher class, she was received m good society.? i/er company was even courted by persons of high rank and consideration after the death of her first husierty. During hH life time Mrs. Ouburg became luamoured of a roung wine merchant named (<ott- n ried, and she al once began to think sl >f the best means to rid herself of Vliltenburg. The idea of getting rid a >f her husband ripened into an up- " controllable desire; but she was at a ^ oss how to set about it. She consulted a fortune teller; the woman old her that everybody belongin to !ier would die off; and that she would then spend the remainder of her life. ' n prosperity and happiness. The s hint from Ihe fortune teller was ) enough. Mrs. Miltenbnrg procured some arsenic, which she gave her hush?.nd at the breakfast meal. The sufferings of the unfortunate man were frightful. A lew months after his death, and Gottfried not proposing, the widow thpught he was influenced bv the consideration of her having several children, and a father i and mother. IIow to get rid of these i was her next consideration. She < xgain consulted several fortune tel- < lers, who all predicted the mortality 1 that was to ensue amongst her connexions, and her subsequent hnppi- 1 ness. Not to he tedious, we state, without particulars, that she poisoned her father and mother: and Gottfried still not proposing, she poisoned all of her children?four in number. I Jer next victim wns a brother, a soldier in Ihe army of Napoleon, who returned inopportunely from iho wars, an invalid and a cripple, and whom, she thought, would l>e an obstacle to i her marriage with Gottfried. After long hesi'v tion, and many evasions, which served to evaporate every acntimentflke love, he consented to the : marriage. On the day the marriage was proclaimed, he drr.nk almond milk from her hands, her face wreathed in "smiles ond affability," happy to sec her lord drink arsenic witfi so keen a relish. She now !>ecame Madarre Gottfried, Countess of Orlamundo. Without detailing all of tin* murdrrs r>f this miiltv woman. we eiose with the one that caused her arrest. On the Gtn of March, 1828. Madame Gottfried was arrested for administering poison to Mr. Ilumpflf who'occupied one of her fur! nishcd rooms, and who, she j thought, suspected her of attempting ' his life. On the trial it ..was clearly established that she had sent hiteen ' persons out of the world*?how many sh<* had incapacitated for living in it with comfort, it was impossible to asccrthin. She was condemned to death,'and when her head fell beneath the sword of the executioner, thousands ot voices from lUe assemr blec multitude Imifcd th6 triumph <Sfc the earty judgment that sent before * i j=SEggS=^. l i*" tiro I tcctWnly Judge the Cc less Gotlfncd.
