Hurrah! Ilaiyer'u Monthly JIaijuzitie for October Poisoning by Lead Contained in Snuff.? *Onc of the Gennt.n medical journals gives an account l>y Dr. \Y icke, of a case of poisoning by lead contained in snuff. The symptoms were violent attacks of colic, which first awaken. ed suspicion that the patient was being poisoned .by lead. No source could be found for such poison, except indie huge quantities of snuff whiph he took. The snuff was chemically examined, and found to contain two and a half per cent of mctalic lead. Dr. Wieke is of opinion that lead finds its way into snuff from the lead wrapping in which snuff is packed. The packages being exposed often to damp ;?iid to the atmosphere, the lead becomes 'changed into carbonate, and the snuff is charged with the poison, lie thinks that this view is corroborated by the fact that, in examining packages of snuff, the lead changes in amount j us one approaches the centre, and that at the : corners of the packages, where contact with ! the wrapping is most perfect, the crust of earnf lend is iimsf. marked. The ahsorntion I of lead by tlio snuff-taker, is tnaiuly by the stomach. The snuff is conveyed to the palate in small quantities, and thence downward to the stomach.

The constant interest which 1 have entertained for many years in the development of this uneqtialed body of land locked ocean water, and the resources of its tributaries, as well as that in closer proximity with it than with New York, influence me to make the enquiry whether, in the event of the reappearance of this noble vessel within the Virginia Capes, ' you will he disposal to utuhunze the runvet/a ore of the mollis by her from thnnptou Roods to Mi/ford Hoveu, upon us faetrruble condito us to her uw-t rsas mods me c nrtyed f out Atic York to British' jJOi'ts in * tenia ships coreied by the Jl?y "J the Uuital Slate* not receiving an annual compensation for tlicir services. lu ease you give your assent, it will perhaps be proper to designate Norfolk as the port at the mails shall be made up for European I distribution, inasmuch as that city is the outer deep water bay port, amJ the centre? of a large rail road and other post youiinuii::atioiis.

Alarm in Another Quarter.?The Lontlon Time* thinks Englishmen not sufficiently unhappy, through their fears of what the Emperor ol the Frelieh may o. e ay take it i; to liis head to do ?wipe out England, and make i runce the greatest power in the world. It endeavors to add to the general misery by showing that the crop of cotton in Atnciica may some day tail, when England most want it, or the Americans themselves will heal their sectional troubles by some compronr'se between the North and the South, bv which the latter will forego the advantages of free trade, and the former establish a manufacturing supremacy on England's ruin. This is certainly avcrv dismal prospect, but considering how very remote it must be before it can be realized, there does not appear any immediate necessity to lie miserable in consequence of it. The South will have solllC bettor assurance of the ndvnn tages ol le-trieling a market for its great staple, liclbre it uudcltakes to eut oil'one of its best customers. Ami the North will have to acquire the ability, the capital, ami the market for the manufactured goods, before it will undertake to consume all the eotton production of the South. The North is doing its best to consume as much as it can: but it is a long way off yet of working up all the cotton that can be produced. W lieu the Nor.h may be able to make such a 'compromise" with the South, it will be alter it lias driven the English man ufacturer out ol the markets of the world, by cheaper production, and not before. Then the South may also be ready to agree to such an arrangement. There is no use of English manutncluiurs alarming themselves now with so remote a possibility, tor it will only distress them without producing any relief. There arc no cctton fields which can be substituted for those of the I n.led States.?/'# il.

Tliis line corps of Napoleon has gained almost immorality ; but their grand crowning act was their desperate charge at Waterloo, which has few parallels in ancient or modern warfare.? They fought for their adored Emperor, and to retrieve the evil fortunes of the day ; they fell, as though to do so would secure them immortal glory and eternal bliss in the world of spirits.?The most graphic and stirring account of that fast fearful and fatal struggle, that we have seen, is from a recently published French work, this is it: During the day, the Artillery of the Guard, under Drouct, maintained its old renown, and the Guard itself had frequently been used to restore the battle in various parts of the field, and always with success. The English were fast becoming exhausted, and in an hour more would doubtless have been forced into a di.-astrous defeat, hut for the timely arrival of Blucher. But when they saw him,'with .30,000 Prussians approaching, their courage revived, while Napoleon was filled with amazement. A beaten enemy was about to form a junction with the allies, Grouchy, who had been sent to Keep mem 111 ciicck, was nowiicre 10 ue seen. Alas! wliat great plans a single inefficient commander can overthrow. In. a moment Napoleon saw that he could not sustain the attack of so many fresh troops, if once allowed to form a junction with the allied force, and Jtfie determined to stake his fate on one bujti cast, and endeavor to pierce the allied cpfitre with a grand charge of the Old Guard, and thus throw himself between the armies.?For this purpose the Imperial Guard was called up and divided into immense columns, which were to meet in the lJrilish centre. That under Reille no sooner entered the fire than it disappeared like mist. The other was placed under Ncy, "the bravest of the brave," and the order to advance given. Napoleon accompanied them part of the way down the slope, aud halting for a few moments in the hollow, addressed them a few words, lie told them that the battle rested with them, aud that he relied on their valor, tried in sg many fields. "Vive rjimperor," answered him with n slionr. that was Iicarrl aimer* tlir* tliui..l.*r of tlic artillery. The whole continental struggle exhibited no snblitlicr spectacle than the las?" effort of Napoleon to save his sinking, empire.

For a moment the batteries stopped playing and the firing ceased along the British lines, as, without the beating of a drum or a bugle note to cheer their steady courage, they moved in silence Over the field. Their tread was like untitled thunder, while the dazzling lieliiiuts ofthe cuirassiers, Hashed long line;.- ul light upon the dark and toriible mass that swept in one strong wave along. The stern Droucl was then amid his guns, and on every brow was written the unalterable resolution to compter or die. The next moment the ai'Juory opened, and the head of that gallant eoi.imn seemed to sink into the earth. Kank aftei rank went down, yet they neither stopped nor laheiid. JJissolving squadrons and whole balta.ions disappearing one alter another in the destructive lire, affected not their courage. The ranks closed up as before and each treading over his fallen comrade, passed itnlliiieliiiigly on. T.;e horse that Mey lode sank under him, and scarce I y had he mounted another before I.

In vain did the artillery hurl its storin of iron upon that living mass. Up to the very muzzle tiiey pressed, and driving the artilleryineu from tiler places pushed on through the English lilies. l>ut, just as the victory seemed won, a file of soldiers, who lay Hat on the ground behind a i idgc of earth, suddenly rose and poured a volley m their very lace?another and another followed, till one broad sheet of Hume rolled on their bosoms, and in such a fierce and unexpected tlow that they staggered before it. iielore the Guard had t ine to rally again and advance, a heavy column of infantry fell on its left Hank in close and deadly volleys, causing it, in its unsettled state, to swerve to the right. At that instant a whole brigade of cavalry thundered on the right flank, and penetrated where cavalry had never gone betoro. The intrepid Guard could have home up against the unexpected lire from soldiers they did not sec, and would have rolkd hack the infantry that had boldly charged their left Hank, but the cavalry finished the disorder into which they had been momentarily thrown, and broke the shaken ranks before they had t me to rclorni, and llie eagles of that hitherto invincible Guard were pushed backward over the slope. It was then the army, seized with despair, shrieked mil, "the Guard recoils! the Guard retroiis!"' and turned ami Hed in wild dismay. 'Io see the Guard in confusion was a s:giit they had never before beheld, and it iroze every heart with terror. For a long time they stood and let the cannon balls pass lb lough their ranks, disdaining to turn their backs on their l'oe. Michel, at the head oflhose bataihoiis, foile'ht like a lion. To every command of tlie enemy to surrender, he replied, "tins found ilies?but never surrenders." And as with his last breath bequeathing this glorious motto to the (ju ard, lie fell a w itness to the truth. Death traversed those eight battallions with rapid footsteps, that they soon dwindled away to two, which turned its hopeless daring on the overwhelming number that pressed their returning footsteps. Last of all but a single battalion, the debris of tbe "column of granite" at .Marengo, was left. Into this Napoleon tiling himself, (.'ambroue, its brave commander, saw with Unor the Emperor in its trail keeping, lie was not struggling for victory ; lie was intent on showing how the (iuaul could die. Approaching the Emperor, he cried out: "Retire! Do you not see that death has no need of you/' and closing mournfully, yet sternly, louiid the expiring eagles, those brave hearts bade Napoleon ail ctcrul adieu, and Hinging themselves on the enemy, were soon piled with the dead at their feet. Many of the ollicors were seen to destroy themselves rather than sutler defeat. Thus, greater even in its own defeat than any other corps of men in gain ng, a victory, the OKI Guard passed from tha stage, and the curtain dropped upon its stranjc career. It had fought its last battle. Th*.* Cliurge of yh" Wide Awakes. We copied a paragraph yesterday from the N.

The Hist great question that stares us in the face is, what must he done in the event of Lincoln's election ? Jlut this is not the only subject of substantial importance agitating the minds of our people, more or less, at this time. The arming of the militia of the State, the re- ; modeling of the military system, the abolishment of the Usury Laws and of frec-negrcism, 1 State aid to foster direct trade between Charleston and Jin rope, further appropriations to the new State House and the Line Kidgc Kail : Road, the establishment of a Penitentiary and ! legislation on tlio subject of intempcrunct? ' tl ere arc some of the subjects that will probably come up for deliberation in the next Legislature. It is not our purpose here and now to ilis- j cuss these grave matters; we cannot conclude, I however, without saving a word for the cause J of temperance. If this matter conies before; the Legislature, as in all probability it will,! that body cannot take a neutral position ; its j action will be a rallying point cither for the cold-water army, or for the hosts of King A!-: eoliol.

No matter what other attractions she has: she imiv be as beautiful as the Trojan llelnm, and as learned as the famous llypatia of am-icm times; she may have all the accomplishments considered requisite at the present day, and every advantage that wealth can procure, and yet, if she lack it low voice, she can never be really fascinating.

There cannot be a doubt, that a leading motive between the States, in establishing a uuI ion belwten them, was to create and pevpetuj ate a friendship between them. If independent of each other, there would be causes of i disagreement, and, perhaps, of war between j them. Treaties with foreign nations might be made by some of the States, which might incidentally ntfcct injuriously other States. To establish peace and friendship between all the i States of the United States, was, undoubtedly, one grand motive for the creation of the Union. Is this end secured bv the present union of the United StatesTs there friendship between the States? Arc they .living on terms ' of good neighborhood ; and with that esteem i wliicli good neighborhood must always inspire ! ! On the contrary, lias not the Union been us! ed by the North to assail the South, in a nianj tier that would not have been admissible, were I the States independent of each other. Their i common government in Congress has been, for ' the last twenty years, a hostile body to the Southern States, in its operations. The open combinations in the Northern States, to overthrow the institution of slavery in the Southern States, aIX', of themselves, good cause for war. The enticing away our slaves, and murdering their masters ? the invasion of llrown, and the vast sympathy he received at the North,?and the lircs kindled by the Abolitionists in Texas?are all the results of the Union, as it now exists, perverted from its original designs. Conspiracy, ho>tility and hate, are substituted for that friendship and brotherhood, it was expected the Union would establish between the States. The Southern States, if they would have that peace and friendship the Union was intended to establish, must enforce it in the Union, or seek it out of it. Napoleon HI. says "the Umpire is peac*?

If there is anything in the world that a young man should be more thankful for than another, it is the poverty which necessitates his starting in life under very great disadvantages. Poverty is one of the best tests of human quality in existence. A triumph over it is like graduating with honor from W est Point. It demonstrates stuff and stamina. It is a certificate of worthy labor creditably performed. a young man who cannot stunu tnc test is not worth anything. J1 c can never rise above the drudge or a pauper. A young man who cannot feel his will harden as the yoke of poverty presses upon him, and his pluck rise with every ditiiculty poverty throws in his way, may as well retire into some corner and hide himself. J'overty saves a thousand times more men than it rums; for it only ruins those who are not paitio'ilarly worth saving, while it saves nudiS'i^es of those whom wealth would have railed.

We think there is a. class of community to whose merits for keeping the world in progress, scanty justice is done?we mean the boys, of, say from ten to fifteen years old. After the latter age, in this fast country, they claim to? he men, carry revolvers, begin to nurse a moustache and drink brandy-smashes, they cease their boyhood and get into goslinbood. Wc lay it down as an axiom that boys arc of no account after they begin to '"go to see the gals," they are no longer boys, but unripe men. But for the genuine boy we have a profound admiration?he is a great institution?a high invention, and we do not think the world could very well wag on without him, so we believe, as we have an idle moment, and local items are scarce, (because the boys are particularly dull just now) we will enumerate some of the services for which the public is indebted to the boys. All grown-up mankind is just now agog abont politics, but there is very little enthusiasm manifested, because the boys arc not yet fully enlisted !ur any candidate. The enthusiasm in polities always staits with them, just as fire makes the pots that hold little boil over first. But the boy must have something tangible to which to pin his faith, and by which to excite his zeal?"squatter sovereignty" is beyond his depth, and though lie constitutes a part of that posterity, which unambitious and sclf-sacrific-ing politicians are so nervous about, be cares very little for his inheritance in "the teiritories."^ I But give him some principle that lie can sec, feel, hear, taste or smell, and straightway his enthusiasm reaches fever heat, and "he goes it w with a looseness." We believe Harrison owed his election to the boys, because tlicy could comprehend hard cider and coon-skins, they ' ili(l( Ctrin:i crl flieiv - tlie merits of those principles, and formed the first ripple of that ground swell which carried "Tippaeaiioe and Tyler too" into office. If our theory is true, John i>eil stands the best chance in the present contest?the boys can undgr- flj stand bells and bell ringing, while the other-. parties, having no outward and visible sign of '"a their inward and spiritual faith," if they hope ?? for success should provide the boys with a liberal supply of flags, tiro-cracket's, rochet?, tar barrels, and other necessary nuisances. A political meeting is a poor show without the boys. Who makes the applause i Wo to-the speaker when a circus or a nigger show.- ?T " draws them in another direction, and he ha&to vent his eloquence upon a set of cool headed and undemonstrative old fogies! His best ex- . buqmrancoua burst of indignation,, carefully studied and skilfully prepared long before, fails to elicit applause, except, perhaps, a modest and feeble rap from some old gentleman, who, as soon as he lias committed the indiscretion, looks round, terror stricken, lest somebody observed him, and is regarding him with siB prised disapproval.?Hut the boy, having ]J?| body's opinion to care for, starts up the In f >, piause w ith a fim, and under cover of the stqfl lie raises, the old ones follow boldly.?ThotW he sometimes puts iu his licks in the vjffljj place, yet upon the whole his jt^cjag^ifl good, and his sympathy is veiMa itn orator.

What Makes a Man ? A man never knows what lie is capable of until lie has tried his powers. There ser~>s to be no bounds to human capacity. Insight, energy, and will, produce astonishing results.? How often modest talent, driven by circumstances to undertake some formidable work,, lias felt its own untried and hitherto unconscious power rising up to grapple and to master. and afterward stood amazed at its own unexpected success!. Those circumstances, those people, enemies and ft tends, that provoke us to any noble undertaking, are our greatest benefactors. Opposition and persecution do more for a man than any seemingly good fortune. The sneers of critics develop the talent lire of the young pnc\ The anathemas of the angry Churcbi inllame the zeal of the reformer. Tyranny, threats, fagots, torture, raise up heroes and martyrs, who might otherwise have slept away slothful and thoughtless lives, never dreaming, what splendid nets and words lay buried itii their bosoms. And who knows but the wrongsof society are permitted because of the fine gold which is beaten out of the crude ore oC humanity ilere is the truth worth considering. Are you in poverty i J lave you suffered wrong J bo eircumstaiiecj oppose you? Arc you beset by enemies.' Now is your time. Never lie tiiere depressed and melancholy.
