Frederick Examiner:
Miss Joeephirie Buukley, a novice, who
j|v. ^Iwd not completed her .vgtation, escaped
the Sisterhood at.*P5|M<d>urg. about
*^ three oVfock on the morning of the 10th instant.
?Uo is the daughter of Joseph Bunkley,
Ks^j^oOiorfolk, a Protestant, who
took neriBkr his protection through this
city, on Wednesday last, on their way home.
The circumstances of Miss Bunkley's unlaw- .
f\?l detention and escape therefrom, as detailed
to several of our citizens by her father,
were as follows : Since becoming a novice,
she has been doing duty at St. Josephs ScnVinary,
as a teacher of music, <kc., for the last
ten months. Some months siuee, however,
she repented of her connection with the Sisterhood,
expressed a desire to return to her
home, and wrote to her father to that effect..
The letter was torn up before her eyes, ami
she was compelled to write in a different ;
'strain, declaring her satisfaction and contentment
with her situation.
This last mcutioned letter deceived licr j
father; while the deception was confirmed |
by having all bis letters to his daughter returned
flffopeoed. Aware, at length, thai she
was a prisoner, Miss Bunkley determined to
escape, and on the morning above named,
V * succeeded in effecting her liberty, by climbing
through a sash over a door, and thence
the yard. Her movements were overheard
by the watchman, whose vigilance she
eluded by concealing herself behind a tree, j
As soon as the watchman turned away, she '
fled?alone a stranger, in the night and ;
dressed in her novice's habit and black cap,'
this poor terrified girl escaped over the rough 1'
country, ten weary miles, to the village of j
Creageratown; where, on. inquiring for the
stage house, she was directed to_ Stevens'
Hotel. She immediately, made known the
circumstances of her case to Mr. Charles Stevens,
the landlord, and demanded his protec- (
tion, which was promptly accorded, and in .
Miss Grimes, a relative of Mr. Stevens, she 1
found a faithful and gentle confident and <
friend. Her next step was to write to her
father, who, upon receipt of her letter, came t
without a moment's delay to her rescue.
Miss B. is about 18 years of age, a very ne- \
coinplished and beautiful young, lady, speak- \ 1
ing several languages, and a superior inusi-, 1
jam,.* -.-.v, \ i
The Turk.
Although of a grave, phlegmatic, listless j
exterior, the Turk is remarkable for his gen-1 ,
tleness toward his children, and he makes no J
difference between them and his slaves or
other servants. In addition to alms to the t
widow and the orphan, his generosity is fro- j
quently exercised in building mosques, khans .
and fountains ; trees and burial grounds are ^
his delight; and horses, dog, eats and pigeons
share in his consideration ; scarcely anywhere (
else are birds so tame and so much linked i
with mankind as they are in Turkey; even 11
children respect their nest-*, and it is not by {
any moans uncommon to find tombstones on ! .
which, in addition to the sculptured devices 1
indicating the vocation, and sometimes also j v
the maimer of the death of the deceased, a r
little basin has been hollowed out by the; c
workmen, in which the smaller birds liiul ai
supply of water. Theso tombstones are usually
beneath the shade of a cypress tree or a ;!i
rose bush. In summing up the character, it
may here be observed that, in truth, open
nesa and c indor, contentment and entire re-1
signation to his lot, and qualities seldom t
denied by any ono to the Turk ; bis memo- ?
ry is extraordinary, and his judgement, is
generally sound, while the safety ot' travellers,
as well as the attention commonly paid 1
to them, sufficiently provos his fidelity and | J.
hospitality.' Religion, such as it is, being founded
on the JCoran, pervades almost every j|
act of his life, and mixes with every conception.
Frequent prayer is universally proo- ^
^ticetf, whether the individual is in the bah,
tho ficld4 fhe coffee-house, or the mosque and "
as alma are frequently bestowed, abject pov- ,v
erty may be said to be scarcely known in the '
cotintry. v

THE TUP KEY CLUB.
This club, according to notice, met on the !
svening of the 23d inst., but owing to the
inclemency of the weather or inndequatcicss
of the notice, there was not a sufficient
number of members present to form a <jt?o'u?l?.
We would most kindly suggest to our
brother Tupkrians that if they wish to sustain
the Club, or even wish to see it prospering,
you will have to attend more regularly.
It is the only club, we believe, of the name
in the United States, and one whose rules
and regulations are such that you doubtlese[y
feel, and know, that since its origin you
have been materially improved, therefore,
you should need no argument to make you
attend ; but do so cheerfully, as I am satisfied
every true and fuithful Tupkrian will do.

North Carolina Senators.
We extract the followingfrom the Washington
Journal of Saturday:
Of the proceedings on Saturday we have
no detailed account, but infer that at the
time set apart for the election of Senator for
the long term, Mr. Higgs was chosen to that
position. Our information is contained in
a letter from an esteemed friend in Kalcigh,
from which we make the following extract:
"Messrs. Kicd and Higgs, are our Senators
elect. No two men could have been
chosen more acceptable to the Democracy of
North Carolina, and the fact of having been
quickly done will prove equally satisfactory.
In fact, there is every disposition to accomplish
the business of tho session sj?ccdily,
and it will, no doubt, bo done despitef'all attempt
to consume time in useless discussion 1
of matters foreign to the proper busines of
the Legislature. Gov. Kicd will probably
make known his acceptance as soon as officially
notified of his election. In tho event,
tho impression seems to prevail that Mr.
Winslow will continue to act as Speaker,
being also Govornor.

Destructive Fire at Marietta, Ga.

tire at Marietta, Ga.

I write to inform you of a Fire this
morning about four o'clock, in the Cherokee
llall Block, originating jn the adjoining Tin
Shop. The entire block, Bentons Corner
and two other houses and the Cherokee

difficulty in saving the next block North,
which being all frame building would not

upon the jGreenville and Columbia Railroad?
The other sight in Columbia, President
Caldwell, of the South Carolina Railroad,

State. He gave the credit for this, very

which has done no much for the State, has
at last triumphed over every attempt to injure

The Quince Tree.
As a preserving fruit, tho quince ranks
among the first and should be more generally
cultivated at tho South, one great error
into which cultivators have fallen, is in supposing
tho quince tree noeds no culture, that
it will flourish iu low moist localities. The
quince tree is very tenacious of fife and will
live where many other trees will no risk hut
if fair good fruit be the object, the quince tree
should have as good soil and culture, as the
j>ear. Tolerablo crops of knotty quinces, arc
made on quince bushes, but if they are trimmed
into trees, manured, and mulched, the
fruit will bo improved astonishingly. Salt
has been rccoinmonded as manure, for quince
trees, but too much salt will kill them, moderate
portions of salt will be found beneficial
around all fruit trees, as it attracts, and rotaina
moisture and kills insects, but in itself
is no manuro. The roots of the quince grow
near the surface, hence the importance of
mulching around the trees. As a market
fruit the quince will always bring good prices,
it is dried aa early as the apple, and it
brings three times the price of dried apples.
Quinces raised in a Southern climato, are
not as acid as those raised iu a Northern-one;
consequently ground and prossed like upples,
they make a very pleasant drink, resembling
the juice of the pear. Every planter at'the
9outk should have from twenty to fifty
quince trees, which would supply the white
and black family, with pies, tarts or stewed
fruit, through all the winter mouths It
would prove a cheap and healthy condiment,
with the bacon and greens. The quinco tree
is easily propagated by cuttings or layers.?
Soil of the South.
Who is Dokstickt ??Doeslieks, whose

modest young clerk in this city, whose life
thus far has only spanned some twenty-three
years, and he is disinclined, at present, to
part with his anonymous obscurity. lie has
nothing to offer the publishers at present,
and when he has, if ever, he thinks it will
be time enough to roveal his whereabout*
and wlmtabouts. lie is not looking to literature
as a profession, sees no literary iperit

has another version of the Soule affair, who
was not interdicted from France absolutely,
we are told, but who was requested to wait
at Calais 24 hours, till the Bureau of Passports
their could communicato with Pnris.?
The instructions are said to have been as follows
: 4|t
"In case Mr. Soule shall declare his inten
tion to enter Franco, to tarry a long or i<
short time, he must be notified that .his sojourn
in Francois forbid.
"In case the Minister of the United Stale*

Maine Law Aneodotes. V"
A friend of mine tcturning from the depot
a few mornings since, with a bottle of
freshly imported **M?ino Law," saw a lady
a little in advance of him whom he must inevitably
join. So, tucking the bottle under
his arm, ho walked alongside. "Wall,"
said the young lady, alter disposing of
"hoalth" und the ^'weather" "what is that
bundle you are carrying so mysteriously un
dor your arm !"
"Oh ! nothing but a coat which the tailor
has just been mending for mo I"
"Oh ! it's a coat, is it? Well, you'd better
carry it back and got him to sow up one
more bole, for it leaks now I"

'starboard tack,' and ran into a tree, lie
pulled otf what was originally intended for a
hat, 'teetered' a moment up his toes, and
apolagizcd to the jostled individual, with a
"hie cup" between every other word:

didn't slice you. 'Sehuzo me, shir, sehuzo
me, shir, if vou please.'
"After which obsequious explanation, and
an abortive oH'ort to put ouhis hat, he essayed
to con Li que on his way ; but brought up
again on the first lurch agaiust the same
tree:
" 'I really beg your pardon, shir 4 I'm fra?<l
you'll spoct that I'm 'tossicated ; but I 'shur *
you, shir, I was more sliober in all my lift.
It's dark and splashy; and really, shir, I
