Scrap & jfaris. !
Hon. L. M. Keitt.?We learn, says the
Charleston Evening News, that on Wednesday
morning, at Society Hill, Col. Keitt was
married to Miss Susan Sparks, at the residence
of her father, by Rev. Mr. Lafar, of
this city. The bridal couple proceeded to
New York, and will sail for Europe on the
25th inst 1
Crops.?We are informed that the crops <
are coming on bravely. Wheat has some
little rust, which has generally attacked the
stalk. Corn is prospering, and these last
rains will no doubt bring out the cotton.?
Our fruit is doing well; cherries are ripening;
peaches afe growing rapidly) and blackberries
are coming on apace.? TVinnsboro'
Register.
The Pope Coming.?The Philadelphia
Bulletin says; "Advices from Washington
informs us thatv letters have been received
there from high sources, aunounciQg the prevalence
of rumors in Italy, that the Pope
may be obliged to fly for rgfuge to this country.
Our ministers at Rome and Naples are
said to speak of this contingency as mgmy
probabb."
Reported Duel Between 0. Jennings
Wise and B. B. Botts, and Death of
Wise.?The Wilmington Herald of yesterday,
says that a rumor was brought by the
passengers on the Northern train Wednesday
evening, that the above named gentlemen
met somewhere on the North Carolina line,
which resulted in a duel between the parties,
and that Wise was killed.
Committed.?A man hailing from North
Carolina and giving his lame as P. A. Kyser,
was taken before a magistrate, a few
days ago, in this village, and committed to
jail for passing counterfeit money, while passing
through the district. The prisoner alleges
that he is counterfeit detector, and,
when arrested, was on his way to Augusta,
Georgia.?Laurensville Herald.
New Flour.?The Augusta Chronicle
says: "Carmichael & Co., on Tuesday, 17th,
dispatched a small shipment of flour, ground
at their mills, from new Wheat, grown in
this neighborhood, which will be forwarded
in to-day's (Wednesday's) steamer from
Charleston to New York. This is the third
successive year that Carmichael & Co. have
succeeded in getting the first new flour to
New York."
New Style Envelopes.?The Postmaster
General has under consideration the propriety
of adopting in the preparation of
stamped envelopes a new style just coming
into use. These envelopes are so prepared
that blaok lines on the inside of the back
of the envelope, and invisible from without,
become patent on the front when the envelope
is pressed, and serve as ruled line to
guide the superscription.
Louis Napoleon and His Soldiers.?
The intelligent Paris correspondent of the .
New York Times says: "The Emperor Na- j
poleou III has done in fact so much for the (
soldier, so much for the amelioration of the (
ordinary hardships of his life, that the French ,
army of to-day loves its Emperor, and would ,
follow him to the end of the world. His ap- i
pearance at the head of the army of Italy <
will be the signal for such a burst of enthu- ,
siasm. and of darine feats of arms, as will 1
strike terror into the ranks of the enemy." (
Long and Short Days.?At Berlin and i
London, the longest day has sixteen hours
and a half; at Stockholm, the longest day 1
has sixteen hours, and the shortest seven; 1
at St. Petersburg, the longest days has nine- 1
teen, and the shortest five hours; at Torneo, ]
in Finland, the longest day has twenty-one i
hours and a half, and the shortest two hours I
and a half; at Wanderus, in Norway, the <
day lasts from the 21st of May to the 22d of
July, without interruption; and at Spitzen- <
bergen, the longest day is three months and 1
a half. ;
Fourth of July Celebration.?The ^
Chester Standard states that the citizens of '
Rocky Creek neighborhood are preparing '
for a Fourth of July celebration at Pleasant ,
Grove Church. It says: "The orator of
the day, Mr. McDaniel, is a recent graduate (
of Erskine College and a young man of fine
promise ; we bespeak for him a full audience. (
The reader, Mr. Wylie, if we arc not mista- ,
t ken, is a member of the Senior Class, at j
Davidson College, North Carolina, and is in ,
every respect well qualified to fill the position
assigned him in the exercises of the occasion."
One Thousand African Negroes 1
Wanted.?An advertisement appears iu
the News, published at Enterprise, Mississippi,
addressed to ship owners and masters
of our mercantile marine, offering ?300 1
each for 1,000 native Africans, between the
ages of 14 and 20, sound and healthy, to be
delivered within twelve months, at some
point between Pensacola, Florida, and Gal- 1
veston, Texas. The advertisement is signed
by eighteen responsible citizens, whose char- 1
acter is vouched for by the editor of the 1
Nacs.
Education and Fighting,?By a law
of Prussia every child between the ages of
seven and fourteen is required to go to school
and to learn to read and write. In 1845
there were but two persons in a hundred
who could neither read nor write. 2,328,000
children of the 2,900,000 between seven
and fourteen years attended school. In
the standing army of 126,000 but two soldiers
are unable to read. In case of taking
part in the war, Prussia can bring into the
field 300,000 men, in one sense the best educated
military force in the world.
"Alessandria."?This place, the rendezvous
of the Sardinian army, whither the 1
king has gone to take command, is probably
destined to play an important part in the
war. It is a fortified city near the eastern
" ti- 1 x __1 1 a A I
irontier 01.rieamoni, wnose guns unsuc towards
the Austrian territory. It stands in
the midst of a sterile plain. It is the great- 1
est stronghold of Piedmont, and is to the j1
Sardinians what Gibraltar is to the English, i1
or Scbastopol was to the Russians. During !:
the reign of the French in Italy, its formid- j
able fortifications made it one of the strongest
places in Europe, but these were subse- '
quently demolished, leaving only the citadel.
Within the past few years workmen j
have been busy in reconstructing them, in 1
anticipation of the events now at hand. In 1
the surrounding plain, two miles distant, is i
Napoleon's celebrated battle-field of Marengo.
Alessandria is garrisoned with several
thousand troops, and, being connected with
Turin and Genoa by railway, any number
can readily be concentrated there. To capture
it would be a crowning glory to the
Austrian Generals, and to lose it, a deep

TRIAL. OF FLOYD.
A new correspondent from Charlotte, whom wc
welcome to onr columns, communicates an accounl
of the trial of James Newton Floyd, charged
with the murder of Richard Martin, in North
Carolina. As Flotd is a native of this District,
and a portion of our readers are interested in the
incidents of his trial, we have also inserted an
extract from the Charlotte Bullrtin.
Saturday last, Floyd was sentenced to be hung,
on Friday the 10th day of June, next. His counsel
gave notice of an Appeal.
?A50THSR NEW DIVISION."
We are pleased to learn that another new Division

DEATH OF GEN. WALLACE.
On the first page we publish, from the Spartan burg
Exprtaa, the announcement of the death of
our estimable friend, Hon. Daniel Wallace.
On receiving such tidings, our readers, especially
in York District, will share with us sentiments
of the most profound regret. We^allude
to our own District, because we know that from
the earliest period of Gen. Wallace's publio career
down to the day of his death, he held a warm
place in the heart of onr people, and even while
Jiffeeing from us in political sentiment he maintained
with us an unusual degree of confidence
and respect. We knew him as a citizen of pure
and exalted tone; as a patriot singularly devoted
to the well-being of his country; as a public servant,
constant, vigilant, fhithful, honest and courageous?possessing
the moral character to take
position promptly, and the ability to maintain it
creditably to himself and with honor to bis constituency.
The example afforded by the career of such a
man as Daniel Wallace is not less valuable than
his eminent public services. He began life a poor
unfriended boy, and by his own strength of purpose,
indomitable will, unflinching courage?by
industrious, patient, persevering effort?he attained
the prond position of a self-made man?
the architect of his own successful fortunes.?
wnen sucn a man aeserves as veil as aicains saccess,
he establishes his title to the confidence and
affection of the people ; and in this respect, certainly
no man achieved more than Gen. Wallace.
Get the young men of our country study and" epieavorto
imitate the ennobling example he has left
iis.
* THE STORM.
Sinoe the last issue, we have received full accounts
of the terrific storm which recently passed
over the Western and South Western portions of
our District. In every instance they confirm our
statement, and in many places the idea we have
given comes far short of the reality. We take
the following paragraph from a letter dated at
Bullock's Creek, May 20th. The reader will remember
that the storm occurred on the 15th:
"I see that you have given a tolerably correct
description of the storm that laid waste our section
of the country, last Sunday night. You are
incorrect, however, in stating that it extended
to the West of Bullock's Creek Church. This locality
is on the Western border of the track, and
the sufferers are those living East of the Church.
The old lady who was killed was Mrs. Nelly Albebson
; and Mrs. Sabah Hhndebsoh, the younger
Mrs. Albebsos'8 mother, had her leg and skull
broken. The attending physician, Dr. Feemstkb,
reports that she cannot recover from her injuries.
Since the storm, it has been raining every day,
and farmers cannot do anything towards re-planting.
There is yet plenty of ice, in places, from
one to two feet deep."
Another correspondent from the same section,
where the tempest seemed to have raged most severely,
writes thus under date of May 16th :
"Yesterday evening, about 9 o'clock, we saw a
black and threatening cloud rise in the direction
of King's Mountain. It came rapidly in a Southwardly
direction, but after a time changed its
course towards the South-east; the wind?rain?
hail?thunder and lightning combining to make
the most terrific spectacle I have ever seen. A
neighbor describes the roar to be nearer than anything
else like "a thousand wagons and teams
running away in a crowd." The lightning was
constant, and the whole heavens appeared to be an
intensely burning sheet of flame.
When the cloud came overhead, it appeared to
be about a mile and a half in width; though the
storm spread more moderately to a width of from
three to four miles. So rapid was it, that in half
an hour from the time the cloud appeared, the
Liesiracuuu WU? UUiupivu;, auva ncvuuiu uui; u^ai
the roaring of the elements far ahead, as their
fury passed away.
In au instant, almost, the branches were swollen
into creeks and rivers ; a solid sheet of water
and hail covered uplands and lowlands, and added
its irresistible force to the power of the other elements.
The land is washed into gullies; the
fences were all floated for hundreds of yards; the
timber is strewn over the fields and forests, literally
stripped of foliage more completely than
ever by the frosts of winter, for the evergreens
are as bare as the more tender trees. The pine
forests present the appearance of a new-ground,
after the timber has been dead long enough for
the leaves to drop and the birds to pick away the
bark; and the undergrowth is as bare of leaf and
bark as a willow-basket.
In the bottoms great rafts have lodged which in
bottoms elsewhere, there remain perfect mountains
of hail stones, measuring in places ten
feet in depth ! Of oourse, the growing wheat is
literally beaten and gronnd to attfins; large plot*,
growing beautifully, almost in an instant present
the appearance of a stubble.field that hiU. beeD
severely pastured for a month after harvest. Yon '
can see but little sign of the straw: it is cat ap
and mixed with the soil. Corn and cotton, too
is rained. Passing to-day, you could scarcely tell
what has been planted in any field. The plants
were all cut down by the hail," and then washed
away.
The section I have passed over to-day has thousands
of wagon-loads of hail, scattered in every
direction ; and the appearance presented is like
that of dead winter, when the ground .is covered,
with sleet drifted into heaps to the depth of
to 3 feet. I did not measure it, butridinga horse
16 bands high I easily lifted np a handful of hailvif
rllomnnntinor ThftV WPre then Uot
larger than a partridge-egg, bnt must hare decreased
in size since falling.
The house from which Mr. John Conn removed,
some time ago, near the Chester line?alog building
of considerable size?was blown down upon
six persons: Mrs. NellyAlbykson, an old ladry,
who was instantly killed; Mrs. Sahah Hendir(
son, who was dangerously hurt; and her daughter
the younger Mrs. Albebson, with her three
children. The entire family were overwhelmed
in the ruins, and how any of them were rescued
is past my comprehension. The parties themselves
cannot explain their escape, which, as the
1 whole house is completely crushed, is indeed mlc
raoulous.
' Many other houses were blown down, but no;
1 other life was lost. At one point, a corn crib was
? blown away; the corn strewn along in a contiun>
one heap for more than a hundred yards; and a
' wagon in the shed attached to the orib, unlocked
and driven fifty yards against another ont-honse,
> and torn into a hundred fragirents! A solid ro:k,
' more than three feet square, was carried across
a hollow, a distance of twenty yards. A wa3hpot
was taken from a spring, and fragments
of it found in a field three or four hundred yards
; distant.
Bat it is impossible to give an aconrate idea of
this terrible calamity. Tbos > only know its aw,
ful violence who were overwhelmed in ,tbc ruins

have learned to-day; bnt I hope you can put iato
shape what I have hastily written, so as to make
, itservicable." .

We learn from the Bttllelin that a District Whig
Convention was held in Charlotte, last week.
Thos. S. Ashe, of Anson, was nominated as a
candidate for Congress. A serieB of Resolutions
were reported by Mr. 8hobhr, of Rowan, Chairman
of the Committee on Business, condemnatory
-% * u

N. Boydbn, of Bowan, introduced a Resolution
denunciatory of the recent action of the Violtsburg
Convention in regard to the African Slave
Trade, which was passed. Mr. Crajqe is the
Democratic candidate, and if Mr. Ashe accepts,
a warm contest is expected. In open court,
at Raleigh, N. C., on the lltli instant, a man
B&med Bobbins was branded in the cheek with
the letter B. for bigamy, Some of the American
officers who were in the Mexican war are
volunteering to join France. Major Keabnet has
already gone. The Florence, Ala., Gazette
learns that the cotton crop in that region is growing
finely, and that there is at present, a good
prospect for a good stand throughout North Alabama.
The Italians residing in Richmond,
Virginia, are forming an association to iaise
funds for transmission to their brothers in Italy,
now abont to engage in war for freedom.
Alexander von Humboldt died in Berlin on the
6th instant. It was a smart boy who owned
np that he liked everything good but ft good whipping.
The same boy liked a good rainy day, too
rainy to go to school and just about rainy enough
to go fishing. The Emperor of Austria has
pledged the crown jewels to the heirs of Baron
Sina, the banker, as a guarantee for a loan of 32,000,000
florins?abont fifteen millions of dolars.
The rust is said to be seriously injuring the
wheat in Suffolk county, Va., and one farmer in
Isle of Wight county, same State, alleges that his
whole crop has been ruined by it. From some
sections of North Carolina similar statements are
received. Ex-Senator Foote denies, by public
card, that he intends toran for Congress iwtbe
Vicksbnrg (Miss.) district. The Cincinnati
Gazette says that in Longwobth'b wine house
there is wine enough, of last years growth to fill
ninety thousand bottles. The entire amount of
wine on hand iB estimated at upwards of 310,000
bottles. The Cincinnati Enquirer ot the 8th,
says: "We saw a gentleman from New l'ork,

At a Baptism down South lately, a negro who had
been kept under water longer than he thought
agreeable, drew a long breath and exclaimed,
"Some gentleman lose his nigger yet wid dis foolishness."
THE WAR IN EUROPE.
Several columns of the first page are given,
this week, to a discussion of the men and things
concerned in the European War. The struggle
promises to be long and desperate; our attention
will be directed to it, week after week: and we
think we conld not do a better service to our readers
than to post them up fully upon the merits of
the dispute, and the incidents which have thus far
marked its progress.
The most note-worthy event of the week is the
abdication of the Duke of Tuscany, and his flight
from his country. This people, so singularly deserted,
have united themselves to the fortunes of
the Saidinians, and have placed themselves under
King Emmanuel's protection. The long article
on this subject, on the outside, will be found interesting.
The arrivals during the week have reported
nothing of special importance. In consequence
of the artificial inundation of the country, and the
breaking-up of the roads, the Austrian army have
made slow progress in their invasion, and lost
much of the advantage secured by their prompt
movements at the outset.
The markets are very unsettled. By the last
arrival, reports reach us of the advance of cotton
at least one-fourth, and a corresponding declino
ill breadstuff's. This reaction, however, is doubtless
temporary, and seems to have produced but
little effect on our markets. We subjoin the latest
items:?
On the 10th of May, a strong Austrian column,
under two Generals, occupied Strapinna, but withdrew
on the next day. Tho Austrians continue
to fortify both banks of the Scssia. It is stated '
that the Sardinians, led by Garribaldi, hod completely
routed the Austrians at Vercelli, taking
three hundred prisoners. Reconnoitering parties
had advanced to the head of the bridge hear Casale,
but being attacked had withdrawn.
The latest intelligence states that the Austrians
i had ceased their retrograde movements, o.nd were
crossing the Sessia in haste. The Emperor Napoleon
sailed from Marseilles on Wednesday afternoon,
the 11th May, but was not expected to
reach Milan before June.
Intelligence of a battle was hourly expected,
but nothing important had yet occurred. The
Austrians crossed the Po near Combis and advanced
toward Sala. They also made an effort to
cross the same river neat Trassanato on the 3d of
re-coiomenoed on tic afternoon of the 4th inst.,
lastir g the remainder of the day. Ths Piedmontesehadfew
wounded. The Austrian* suffered
considerably.
Tho Austrian.i on the 8d commenced a cannonade
fi'om the direction of Valenza without mnch
effect. . .,
An official bulletin issued on the 4th says:
"The Austrinnfl have increased their forces at
Vercelli, and constructed defensive works. They
have also ooctrpied Trino and Tobietto, having
their van-guard at Tronzensas. They withdrew
last night from Tortona. Yesterday they burnt
seven arches of the bridge Syriria at Picenza.?
They have also oidered the demolition of the
houses erected apon the fortification.
It is announced that the Emperor of Austria will
assume command in Italy in person.
The Turi i correspondent of the Daily-News asserts
positively that France is about to mobilize
between 700,000 and 800,000 men, and that the
Ffench army on Rhine will amount to 500,000, as
the Emperor fears Germany will not remain quiet.
The uatoe correspondent also asserts that on the
dfltj <&e Emperor quits Paris he will address a
solemn manifesto to Enrope, espousing the canse
nf tlio TKitinnalitiftB
A large portion of the French army enable to
cross the Alps in consequence of the passes being
blocked up with snow. Those who had crossed
8offered terribly.
All Italy is in a ferment. The Government of
Tuscany is carried on by a Piedmontese Commissioner
who will be aided by the subordinate local
authorities. The Duchess of Parma has imitated
the example of the Tuscan Grand Dake, and her
dominions are also, for the present, similarly attached
to Piedmont. The King of Naples is not
dead-yet," bat his death was constantly expected,
and wonld be, no doubt, the signal for popular rising
in behalf of Prince Marat.
A letter from Vienna^ the London Times, says
European Tnrkey is on we ere of a rising. There
is great agitation in the Southern provinces, and
the Porte has 12,000 troops concentrated at
Schumla. Omar Pacha was hastening from Bagdad.
The writer thinks the days of Masselmen
in Enropo are numbered.
The Austrian corps of observation will be posted
near Cracow, to watch the Russians who are
gathering on the Austrian frontier.
With regard to the alleged alliance between
France and Russia, the British Government have
received assnranoes that nothing of the sort has
been negotiated; atd both Mr, Disraeli, and Sir
John Parkington, in seeches at the has tings, have
positively declared thi.t there is no title of truth
[ in the report All that has been done, says Mr.
Disraeli, is that Rassu has agreed, in case of a
war, to place an amy of observation on the Prussian
frontier; and thin, he says, is no more than
England is going to do in sending a fleet into the
Mediterranean.

CHARLOTTE CORRESPONDENCE.
Chaboottb, N. C., May 20, 1859.
Mr. Editor:? We Lave had a most interesting
> and exciting day. The sound of martial music
and .the roar of cannon, and the rattle of small
arms, have awakened :he patriotism of every man,
woman and child in Charlotte. A sensation has
t een produced, whether for weal or woe, the future
will decide.
About 9if o'clock this morning, the train from
the North, brought dawn the following Military
Companies: "Rowan Artillery," "Rowan Rifle
Guard," "Iredel Bluos," and the "Newbern Light
.Infantry." These w?re invited by the "Hornet's
Nest Riflemen," and w?re received by them at the
Depot in fine style. From that early hoar until
4 p. m., tbey have been engaged in a grand celebration
of "the 84th- Anniversary of the Mecfclenburg
Declaration of Independence." Their
performances were veiy good?hard to beat. Their
target shooting showed that some of them were
"sharp-shooters." Medals were presented to eacn
Company. The ladi?s kept their spirits ap by
presenting them exquisite boquets, which was always
followed by a short speech and three rounds
of thunder and as many olouds of snlphnrous
smoke, which, of course, was pay enough for the
fair donors. Ever nod anon the artillery men
would speak to the nhabitants of Charlotte in
tones of thunder, reminding them of "days of
yore," when their forefathers used to face the brazen
muzzles of British cannon for the soke of
"dear liberty."
By this time they have pretty well di9casaed
the merits of the sumptuous dinner provided for
them by the "Hornet Nest Riflemen," whose
guests they are; and I see by the programme,
that the fun is not all over yet. To-night, they
aro to have "von grand" Military Ball, in which,
of course, the fair belles of Charlotte will have a
chance of showing the jaded soldiers how to trip
the "light fantastic toe." I shall not be at the
dance?don't believe in such things; bat I have
long since learned to "agree to disagree."
This is Court week. A great many peopla from
n ft* horo on business. Wednesday, the
IUU uvuuvt > VI* V ?? -- v .
case for the State v*. Nkwton Floyd was tried.
A good many witnesses were examined op hoth
sides of the question. Floyd's Attorneys labored
hard to make it a case of manslaughter, and I
thought were in a fair way to Bucceed ; bat the
jury rendered a verdict of "guilty." The 7th of
December last, Floyd (you doubtless know) killed
one Dick Mabtin, a free man of color (a blacksmith
by trade) in Gaston County, and appealed
to this place /or trial, fearing that he could not
get fair play in his own county. A hard case I,
think, when a man is compelled to appeal to
strangers for justice in preference to his neighbors.
Floyd is a good looking man, does not appear
to be much over 38 or 34 years of age. He looks
like a man that has been well raised ; but such
eyes I scarcely ever saw in a man's head! They
are small, and the expression is most vicious. I
would take him any where, for a man of most violent
tempor. Whisky was at the bottom of the
whole affair. Whisky fired his brain and nervwd
his arm to make the fatal blow. The bowie knife
used on that lamentable occasion was a large one,
said to have been bought in Yorkville for $10.?
With such examples of what whisky can do, one
would think that those addicted to it, woold take
warning. But no; Charlotte is perfumed with it
this week, and you can see half a dozen drunk
men at nearly as many shops in this place any
day this week. It it a thame and a tcandal to make
drunkards by law! It's a shame for any man thus
to beastify himself! 0 trmpora, 0 mores! When
will good men bear rule ?

LETTEB FROM CHARLESTON.
Monday, May 23, 1859.
My Dear EnquirerI confess my delinquency.
"I am under arrest. " and I am not greatly discouraged
in view of the old saw, that "misery
loves company;" for "X. Y. Z.", "A. H. L." and
"yourself," were all in Columbia at the same
time, and all are in th>? same condemnation.?
"Ruby," too, dear fellow, was there. I just got
one glance of him as he went sailing along over
the beautiful streets of our beautiful capitol city;
a fine horse?a nice buggy, and an ebony Jehu
constituted hi? outfit. He waved me a courteous
salute and I bowed, as I stood on the street, and
smiled as he left me in the distance very soon.
"Ruby's" excellent father, has been on a recent
trip to Lenoir and the Yadkin, and has written
a charming letter all about that region, in the
S. C. Advocate, and if you will just copy it into
your columns, it will do as well, and better, than
any thing I can write at the present, as I am off
this morning for Georgetown to talk about California,
and on my return will try and tell you
all about things all round?Columbia, Convention

NUMBER V. ' fi,
LOVE A.T FIBST SIGHT. m
The poets have rhymed volominously upon this
matter. Shakespeare says:
"Love'ii reason is without reason"?
In the case of a fool, certainly. The same great p
man makes some hero ask:? ' ' ic
" Whoever Iovefl, that loved not at flrat sight t" tl
Some one?lee has said:?
i Q
"Theapark which by low degrees ;
Ia nursed Into aflame.
Is habit, friendship, What yon please ; 01
Bnt love is not its name." ^
All trne enough, no doubt, but likely to mislead, w
In prose, the author of Henrietta Temple very 81
gravely makes the same point. Right, in the
same wrong way. D'Israeli says : "There is no h
love but love at first sight. This is the trancea- e
dent and surprising offspring of sheer and unpo)- ?
luted sympathy. All other is the illegitimate ra- f(
suits of observation, of compromise, of expedien- tl
Cy'n - ' . h
Now, all this tcould be true in life, if life itself ^
were true. If life were undisguised. If society p
permitted the onwielded exhibition of charaoter? n
if "heart met heart as we make acquaintances in 8
society. A perfect sincerity of life is indis'pen- {
sable to the possible tsnth of the proposition.? b
Such sincerity of life may obtain in the spirit *
world. It does not obtain on "earth?nof once In ,
a million cases. Let us say, then, viewing itifl t
its reference to human life, that "at first sight"' t
means weeks, probably months, possibly years, a
after meeting?after external sight?after acquaintance?after
"first sight" in its popular ac- v
ceptation. Whenever spirit sees spirit in very 4
troth, tken if .you ever, they love. When does ^
spirit see spiritf Not at nil, as sooiety exists,* p
till after much "observatibn" (a bow tuD'Iarsell)-, i
much association, much mere societal acquaint- 1
ance. Some more, some less. The author o^ v
Henrietta Temple, then, meaning a falsehood, has r
told a truth?he "builded better than he knew.'' c
The poet who sings so beautifully about sparks ^
and tloto degrees, no doubt had engaged to trritt v
a song, and wrote it. Shakspeare's "first sight" t
decidedly needs a foot-note.
Hearts instinctively close themselves. Many a
heart has passed on through life, and turned away t
into death, that others never saw. Ilad sortie**ene ^
seen such, it had been loved. It may have seen, |
and loved : bat no one saw, and no one loved it. ^
The expectant look iu death marked such a one; 0
and the seal that was looked upon as cold and' *
lone finds never till then that the body hid it from i]
love?the body in society. e

THE ACME OF BEAUTY'
Do you know what I consider the acme of 4
i]
beauty? Perhaps it may make but little diffter- u
enoe to any one what may be my private opinion b
on this highly interesting subject; but it is a free ^
country and (thanks to your courtesy to me) a ^
free press, and I inteud to express my opinions, and a
if any one objects, he or she may go to the D-ic- t<
- - - I ai
tionary for a better interpretation of the signification,
or rather for a better realizing of the Ideal e(
of the Perfection of Beauty. tl
'Beauty is but sEin deep" as was remarked to ^
St. Bartholomew whep bis cuticle was removed, 01
and he left in a garment not so becoming as comfortable,
to those who iike that style of summer
dress. "Well suppose it is only skin deep ; who fc
wants it any deeper" said the Saint. With these ^
preliminary remarks bearing their moral very oJ
much exposed, and not by any manner of means
distinguished for sense or profundity?quite the t]
reverse on the contrary?I come back to first t(
principles, and proceed to say what I consider to j?
be the acme of mundane beauty; and this is, "A nj
beautiful, refined woman seated on a fine horse, a
holding a rosebnd in her hand, and admiring and ^
loring a glorious sunset." i,
. a.*- .?
Now let me tell you some of the accessories, in u
tl
ay opinion, necessary to this perfection. The ^
woman (I do not say lady, for woman is a good tl
word) must be, not brilliantly or garishly beauti- f?
ful, but softly, womanly, lovely. Not one who
steps out boldly with the stately air of a queen, ^
and by her striking and well-displayed charms P
seems to say, "I am a beauty, come now and bow *
the knee and own my power;"?but one who is
beautiful because she cannot help it, and whose C
blushes seem to say "If you will worship me, do h
so, and I am grateful for the homage, for through **
me you worship the giver of beauty, the great r,
God, the Perfection of all Beauty." She should P
wear a close-fitting dark riding-habit, and her hair ^
should be covered, but not concealed, by a black '
velvet cap surmounted by two drooping plumes, gj
one black as the raven's wing, and the other as ti
white *?the unsnllied Dlumaee of some ^
V ' ? - - 11
hyperborean swan. The rosebud?any small w
flower would do, but I prefer a rosebud, blushing, y<
half-opened and moss-covered a9 to ita leaves and
stem?the rosebud I say, should have been gath- ^
ered when inceDse was rising heavenward from bi
the flower beds, and while the dew-diamonds were s<
spangling its breast; and it should have been w
preserved as an offering to her with a care equal
to the venerating guardianship with which a priest w
watches over some saintly relic of olden days. The T
horse should be small, compact, and not addicted ^
to pacing or trotting. His color should be a deep bi
blood bay, or a coal black or a dark sorrel. Said tl
horse should toss his mane and curve his neck
and seem as if proud of his lovely burden. The ^
sunset should be one of those seen only in south- hi
em lands, where the richest tints and brightest
hues are commingled in lavish profusion; where ^
it seems as if an antevision of the glories of the
Land of the Hereafter, were kindly granted to it
earth-contaminated mortals. ?'
Now, it was not "many and many a year ago," "J
but it was some time ago, that your correspondent t(

ason, when I was thinking and feeling just as I ga
tve described, I was permitted the great privl- ?
ge of accompanying a most lovely lady* on an ry

mong which, the most important is that of the .
tate against James Newton Floyd, indicted for f*
ie murder of Richard Martin, a free man of colr,
and removed from Gaston to this connty for 8
ial. The principal facts elicited by the .trial *
as that on the 17th of last ITecember, at the .
:ore-hoaee of a Mr. Neagle, in the bounty of Gas- "
)n, tbeprisoner had requested some of hirfriends

e should be ready to go in company, because be
xpected to have need of friends, at the same time- E
xhibiting a large bowie knife, which he said he '
ad bought at Yorkville a phort time, before, r
ir the price of ten dollars. He refused to sell f
he knife once or twice that day, on the gronnd (hat
e^xpeeted to use it himself. Late in the evening, ?
e started home alone oa horseback, and at about 11
usk arrived at the blacksmith shop of the de- B
eased, where be found the principal State wit- 8
ess, McCollough, who bad also arrived at the 8
hop a few moments before, in his buggy. The 8
risoner alighted from his horse, hitche^ him to a *
enfce, requested the witness to wait for him and 6
e would accompany him in a few moments, and j
lien stepped into the shop where deceased was. 11

riendly way, on ordinary topics, the prisoner ?
sked for something to eat. Deceased pointed him
o a side of bacon hanging oirthe wall of the shop, ?
nd handed his knife to cat a piece. He did so, "
nd pat'It on'the smith-fire to broil. b
The deceased then gave to the prisoner and the
ritness a biscuit a piece. About an hoar after ?
his, the deceased called upon the prisoner and 8
old him he had his knife. Prisonor denied. A *
Hspato then ensued in which deceased told the 1
prisoner that he "mnst be ad?d rascal," remark- 8
ng at the end of the.dispnte, "dam the knife let 1
tgo be cared nothing about it."

fitness started home, and when the former had |
ode about fifty paces from the shop the deoeased J
ame out with a bottle in his hand, remarked that *

iare any, and walked up to the boggy, and gave J
fitness a drink. He then walked on to wb?re *

nted it to witness. - * t
The prisoner dismounted, and without a word
teing.said by either, a fight ensued, in which the
leceased fell dead before witness could reach the
iSTties. The prisoner stepped a few paces to a t
enoe, laid his bands on the top rail, and when the J
fitness stepped up to him, pnjl then turned to look n
fter the deceased, the prisoner mounted his horse
,nd rode off. This ocourred between eight and I
line o'clock, the moon shining. The next morn- ti
ag the deceased was found to have received serral
mortal stabs with the bowie knife, which was
onnd lying near the dead man, one penetrating k
hrough his person from the front to the. back, U
boat the region of the heart. A large quantity a
f blood was found scattered over an areao? about

Prat Laborde'i History. 81
The following Is an extract from Prof. Laborde's
irthcoming "History of South Carolina College," g,
bich is immediately to be issued from the press
f R. W. Gibbes, Columbia, S. C. **
John Brown was born in Ireland, Antrim Conn- *
r, June 15, 1763. He emigrated with his father
) America, and settled in Chester District, South
arolina. His educational advantages were very
mited, having gone te school only eighteen w
months. For the last half of the period he was g(
schoolmate of Gen. Jackson. At the age of m
xteen he voluntarily exchanged the Academy for
le oamp, and under Geo. Sumter, fought gallant- ^
r for the liberties of his adopted country. Upon e(
ie close of the war he set himself diligently to Q|
ie task of improving his mind. But-a more im- oj
ortant servioe was before him. He was to preach Qj
ie gospel of our Saviour, and to call upon a sin- tj
ll world to repent and embrace the offer of solation.
He studied Theology under the Rev. Dr. t.,
[cCorkle, near Salisbury, North Carolina, and
as licensed to preach, in the year 1788, by the jj(
resbytery of Concord, with which his teaaher n)
as connected. He combined the professions of er
inching and preaching for a few years, and was n(
ion called to the pastorship of the Ws*haw of
hurch, which he held for ten years. Resigmug as
is pastorship he again, took up the business or
inching ; and notwithstanding the disadvantages
f his early training, achieved considerable litera7
reputation. April 25, 1809, he was elected .
rcfessor of Logic and Moral Philosophy in the ]
outh Carolina College. May 1,1811, he resigned ?
is Professorship. In the course of that year he t
as elected President of the University of Geor- '
ia. After leaving the Presidency of that insti- 1
ition, ho removed to Hancock County, Georgia, ,
here he remained in charge of a church for ^
velve years. His last home was at Fort Gaines,
here he died December 11,1842, in the eightieth .
aar of his age. ar
It is thought proper to record a few additional ar
icta in the religions life of Dr. Brown. He was
ie founder of the Presbyterian Church in Colum- "
in. It was formeddn the College Chapel, and
irvices were held there until a house of worship .
as obtained. He was an eminently good man,
id animated by a truly apostolic spirit No
igher praise can be bestowed upon bim than that i
biob is found in the language of the Rev. Dr. !
almage, who knew him well: "He was entitled ^
i tho appellation we used when speaking of him
-our Apostle John." He was distinguished for ^
is humility, his amiability, bis generosity, and ^
le readiness with which he bestowed his confi- f0
ence upon men. ,
Though his understanding was vigorous, and
is acquirements extraordinary for that day, and
is command of language, aooording to Dr. Tal- I
iage, not surpassed by any one whom he ever j
aew, yet I am inclined to think, from the testi- i dt
iony of distinguished graduates who received his
istructions, that as a Professor he was defective qt
i a most important particular. .One of the most
ifted and honored of the alnmni of the College th
rites to me, that "his teaohings in Moral Phil- (2
sophy were too much from the book to excite invest,
and that he failed to arouse attention on p?
te part of his pupils. He was a man of great
rmnes8, probity, and excellence of oh&raoter." i na
would not, however, say aDy thing which could j
npair in the least the reputation of Dr. Brown, tn
ia?cter, a* briefly and imperfectly portrayed in
is: memoir, to shed a riob lustre upon the ColHe
furqlahes a blight leaf in its history;
id-Vrhik remembered for his exalted Christian
aiacter, it will ever b# bis peculir glory that he
,ye the first impulse to'a most important departent.
I hare already stated in another place,
at the College was founded by onr revolutionsfathers,
ahd I canqtothelp feeling that there is
noh to excite a commendable pride in the boms
of its friends, ip the fact, that a gallant soler,
the companion and school-tnate of Jackson,

The following is his letter to the Committee of

Washington, May 12, 1859.
Gentlemen : I have been honored by your very
ind invitation, on the part-of the Trustees of the
niversity of North Carolina, to visit Chapel Hill
i the annual commencement in Jane next.
It affords me pleasure to eay that I cordially
ad gratefully accept this invitation. I have long
esired to visit "the old North State," and be)me
better acquainted with the people, for whom
have ever entertained the highest respect and
iteem. The occasion being literary, and not potical,
is just such an one as I should myself have
ilected. Yours very respectfully,
James Buchanan.

' Liabilities of Railroads.
The Supreme Court of Georgia recently decided:
xi caiue are Kiuea oy a nauroaa car, ine prclmption,
in the absence of proof, is that the killig
was the resalt of the negligence or careless388
or improper conduct of the Railroad, its a3nt?
or officers."
Tho Augusta Chronicle Jf Sentinel, referring to
le above decision, has stated itt opinion in snch
concise yet comprehensive style: eminently prop
and just, that we copy it and adopt the opinion
i our own.
"To our mind the presumption would be much ore
legitimate and reasonable, that the cattle
ere out of place; and hence the Statues of the
tste should punish the owners to the extent of
akhxg tl .m pay the damage the Railroad Comxny
sustains. There is certainly neither justice
equity in making a Railroad pay for stock killi
by the trains, when the company is in pursuit
f its regular business on its own land, and very
ften is damaged ten or a hundred times tho value
P the stock killed. It is true the Legislature of
le State should enact a much more enlightened,
juitable and just law, than that whioh is declared
y the Supreme Court, to be the law of tho State."
We would suggest, however, that when it has
sen killed through the carelessness or recklessjss
of a runner, then damages ought to be recov ed
from the Company.- Bat, we apprehend that
) sane man would be so regardless of the lives
' passengers, to say nothing of his own existence,
i to run over stock simply to kill or destroy them. (
