Brave and high/minded pconlo will

best chance for the Presidency; and
in this he may be right: for such a gov |

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

there is indeed no difference so far
as the South is concerned. 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

hope and interest. I give you j
this iis n sot off to Gen. Sam Ifotslon's
derisive judgmfM of your future
course. Cur. C/uir. Mercury.

Oil tho Sunday preceding our last | f
Biaic election, toe people of Nevada ; .
were startled by the strange sight of
a placard, announcing that the Rev. (
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

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

what lie thought should be law,
without regardin/y what was law.
Some of Ins decisions were unique.
Most of the cases tried before him
were concerning the ownership^!
pack horses or mules, which had been j
stolon or retaken. In sticb instances
1l}Q vi4fc?r was always saddled with

cases, and preceded by the
bard looking c!m!'?e!?r aforesaid.?
Come to celebrate the election, Doctor,

leader. 'My champagne! what do
you mean? I have no champagno!' |
exclaimed the doctor- 'But here h i

A man onc.o entered his office \yitl?
an affidavit already drawn up, and
requested that an oath should bo administered
to him. This was done,
and an ounce fee demanded. The
man demurred to this as being beyond
the usual terms.
'ltow much does the Alcalde at

'but 1 am ?ure it is less than an ounce.

the doctor received a letter from the

to refund the balance. The. Georgetown
Alcalde replied laconically?41"11

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

The life of this woman gives one
of the evils of consulting tho ! utio
tellers.

their assassinations to th umble,
