Editors:?I heard delivered, and have since rend, Chancellor Harper's eulogy upon the late Chancellor Desaus8Ufe, together with your remarks upon A thesame in your paper, where you have incorporated several extracts from the printed pamphlet. There is no one who has perused this production with more pleasure than myself, and the necessity which 1 feel imposed uj?on ine. of correcting a certain part, of it. in order that historic truth may not be violated, and justice he meted out to another lamented deceased son of Carolina, induces me to address you. I ahudo to the aitetarion of the constitution in the third, seventh and ninth sections of the first article. The credit of this alteration is given mainly to Judge Dessausure and Mr. Abram HUn/Jinii fko fir<f AC .irtvmtatinff and the VlVftllUing) ???W ???v?v ..x. _ second as currying out the details of the hill; and the learned author states all this to be done ut the June session of 1808. Now, sir, the history of that alteration is this. Some years before the alteration took place, the subject of tho propriety of the change, in order to give to the upper districts an equal representation in the Legislature with the lower, was very much discused, and the celebrated numbers of 44 Appius," written by Robert Goodloe Harper, prosduced a most decisive effect. But the election of Mr. Harper to Con. gress withdrew him from the councils of the State, and for some years the subject was not vigorously pressed, although it was not wholly at rest. In 1804, Joseph AU ston, (afterwards Governor Alston) being a member or the Legislature, recommended agitating the subject, and became in * ... Ti 1806 quite an enthusiast in the cause. 11 was in this year I formed his acquaintance, he being then Sneaker of the House of Representatives, of which I was a mem. ber. He brought the subject through some friend a little into discussion that year, but as an alteration of the constitu* tion required the concurrence of two^ thirds of both branches of two concurrent and consecutive Legislatures, the matker was postponed lb the December session of 1807. The great work was accomplished at this session, and is mainly attributable to Joseph Alston, who delivered one of the most able and eloquent speeches in favor of the reform 1 ever listened to. Indeed he was the only debater of any note in advocacy of the change. His colleagues were against him, and Mr. Benjamin Huger very warmly opposed bim in committee of the whole. But the concluding speech carried such conviction with it that the committee rose and repor. ted in favor of the jneasure, which repor. ! was carried by a constitutional majority, of the House-. When the abstract proposition of the propriety of the reform in j the representation was adopted, upon the sithject of the principles which should , govern the proposed change, every memj her seemed to be ai fault. A general si; lence prevailed, for no one seemed pre! pared for the emergency. In a few min! utes the late lamented William Lowndes j arose and with extreme modesty, hut with 1 much force, suggested every material part of the present existing article, and moved for an extra session to carry his views out, in a properly considered bill, j The House seemed happy in its deliver- 1 ance from its late difficulty, and the pro- ' position of this great and distinguished statesman was adopted. The June session of 18C8 took place, and the bill altering the constitution in the third, seventh and ninth sections of the first article was , passed, which contained precisely the i suggestions of Mr. Lown Jes. 1 feel well i warranted in saying the fine argument j and splendid eloquence of Joseph Alston ; curried the committee; and I personally know- the principles of the reform emanated from William Lown les. I have no uoiibt that the reducing into written form, what had been agreed to, might have called forth the developeinent of Mr. Standing's great foresight and legal accuracy. But this much is certain, he wus not on the special committee for engrossing the hill; Judge Huger was chairman, and Mr. Gist, and a third person not recollected, but I think Peter Freneau, composed the same. The fame of Chancellor Dcssausure and the late Abram Blanding is sufficiently effulgent without the prismatic hue, which this alteration of the constitution might add to the richly beaming garland. I respected the high character 1 : 1 ? ..?U i hiiu vanuu acquirements ux ouui iuu muun i i when living, to detract from their merit i when dead.

SHOCKING OCCUR AN CES.?We i have been shocked to hear of two homijcides having been perpetrated in Anson ; county within two or thee weeks'pnst.? The first occured on the first instant, in ( which a Mr. Mattocks was killed by a man named Holdea. who was arrested and is now confined in the Jai! at Wadesborough. VVe have heard no particulars. The second, which from the respecta: biiitvof the parties, and the cause ofquar. rel, has produced very great excitement in Anson, resulted in the almost instanj taneoiis death of a young man named May bva pistol hall, firedbv annother vong man , j n imcd Martin, who, with Thomas Wad- \ j d?ll, Esq. asaccesary, was arrested, and j thev both are now in Wadesborough Jail, | where, hail having been refused, they will have to remain till the Superior Court in September. Participating deeply in the public concern at this awful occuruf.'-e we refrain from giving any of the pari tiejlars which have reached us, least we m? :ht do injustice to the parties, or pre judice the cause of the prisoners. Th above is all that < ur duty as a public ; jourr; j list requires, at this stage of the matj ter. F. Obx. An experiment was recently made at ; New Orleans, by an English gentlerran, i on the notes of one of the city hanks, in i , the presence of the officers and of sundry ! citizens, by which he demonstrated his I ability to efface totally, and without leaving a solitary trace, every ink mark existing on the face of the uotes. The impressions made by the ink were removed by the feather point of a quill imbued with some chemical preparation compounded by the gentleman in question.? He thus established with perfect ease that certificates of deposite and other bank documents in writing can be altered for purposes of counterfeiting. After the experiment, he wrote a few lines on a piece of ordinary writing paper, and sent it to an experienced chemist, declaring that it was impossible to remove it. He has offered to vend his secret to the va- j rious banking institutions at a reasonable I rate. The same gentleman made known i his discovery to the Bank of England. iV. O. Bee. ' ; Cotton MxNUFACTuaE in Greet Biut! ain.?In Mr. Culloch's new Dictionary there are statistical returns relating to cotton and the cotton manufacture, which go so far back ns 1097, when then the total value of cotton goods was only ?5, 714 and the raw cotton imported 1.976, 859 lbs. No great increase took pluce till 1795, when Whitneys invention came in* | to operation, and since that period the in-' crease of the trade has been beyond all 1 precedent. In 1833, were imported not less than ^07,850.577 lbs., and the total declared value of cotton goods exported the previous year was considerably above 20 millions steding. The total value of Ilie cotton goods and jram annually produced in Gra?' Britain is estimated by Mr. Culloch at ?34,000,000, and by M. Bains at somewhat less.?Bost, Journnl, PENNSYLVANIA BVNKS. The last acceunts from Pennsylvania , show that the Legislature is totally unable to control the banks of the State. O ie j party wishes to let them continue to issue bills without redeeming them?another party would stop them and make them , wind up at once or pay specie?a third ] party would give them a little longer time to repent ar.d return to an honest course i of dealing. Many of lite legislators are j closely connected with the banks and ( they will vote for nothing which will ( jeopardize their own interests.

We lately came across an anecdotein an English paper, which furnishes a fine J lesson in the study of human nature. A miserable looking beggar, in piteous accents implored the charity of a well dress? .1 ll J.. ?.L. h.m n tuisrinr. kf kllf Ko W1 J 1 cu luujr wiio was passing u), ><ui uv nuo not graciously received. "I have no 1 small change," said she, with a repulsive 1 look. "Then most charming madam," said the philosopher in rags, " allow me ' the privilege of kissing your beautiful, li- 1 ly-white hand!" "No my friend," replied ' the pleased fair one, with a smile "I can- 1 not do that, but there's half a crown for you 1" We regret to announce the death of i Dr. Win. P. Dewees, formerly Professor 1 of Obstetrics in the University ofPennsyl- 1 rania. Dr. Dewees enjoyed for a great j number of years in this city the highest j confidence, and had a most extensive I practice. His works, particularly upon ' the branch of medical science which he : taught in the University, are every ( where known, as well in families as ] among the profession, and worthily ex. I tended the honorable repute of the author. 1 A few years ago Dr. Dewees went to Al? abama on account of declining health, but j returned to this city, and has closed a life of great usefulness among his former d friends. J A cabin boy on hoard a ship, the Cap. j tain 'of which was a religious man, was 1 called up to lie whipped for some misdemeanor. Little Jack went trembling nnd j crying, and said to the Captain, "Pray, sir, will you wait till I say my prayers be. 1 fore you whip me?" "Yes" was the stern J reply. /'Well then," replied Jack, look. ( ing up and smiling triumphantly, ? I'll uever say 'um!" I IMPECCNIOSITY. A new word, very common in Natchez, applied to those/eta individuals who put their hands in their pockets and find?no money. "A correspondent of a New York pa- < per asked, with great earnestness and I propriety, the meaning of the word j "transcendentalism," whicn is considers. , ' i hly used at present with reference to i German Literature and its imitators. He ' is thus answered: J "Transcendentalism is the spiritual ] cogriooenpe.of psycological irrufragibilitv connected, with concutient ademption of 1 incoiumment spirituality and etherialized contention of subsultory concretion." < There can be no mistake about the ! matter now. A Yankee boy had a whole Dutch cheese set before him one day by a wag.gish fiiend, who, however, gave him no i knife. "This is a funny looking cheese, : uncle Jo, but where shall I cut it?'1 "Oh," j said tiio grinning friend, "cut it whe?-e you like." "Very well," said the Yinkee, coolv putting it under his arm, I'll just cut it at home,liieri." PRETTY SHARP. A young lady at a party one night, was much annoyed by the impertinent remarks of a coxcomb, who sat near her. At length, becoming tired and vexed, she turned towards him, with an angry coun- tenance, and obscrvod, 'Be pleased, sir, to cease your impudence.' The poor fellow was Astounded at so sudden a rebuke, and could only reply, 'pray,1 madam, do not eat me.' ?Be under no apprehensions about that,' she replied, ' I am a Jewess.' 'Thomas, there is too much bustle here. 'Where, Pa ?' T mean there is too much noise, you must stop it. , 'Is a noise a bustle, Pa?' 'Yes child.' 'Golly Gracious?then sister Sally does' wears the biggest noise you ever saw, Pa.' The time hoftored "bell of Indepcndence" which hangs in the State House at Philadelphia, was tolled on the news of President Harrison's death, for the first time since the death of General Washing, ton. An Irish gentleman thus addressed an indolent servant, who indulged himself in bed at a late hour in the morning: 'Fall to rising you spallpeen, tall to rising! Don't stand there lying in bed all day! There is something touching, deeply touching, and thrilling, and we might even say disagreeable, in the question?"Will you pay this bill, sir." A Quaker's Letter.?Friend John : I desire thee to be so kind as to go to one of those sinful men in the flesh, called at. torneys, and let him take out an instru. ment, with a seal thereunto, by means whereof he may seize the outward tuber.

The English papers contain the following announcement, which will hardly gain credit, unless on the supposition that the island now said to be discovered for the first time is one of those volcanic masses which occasionally arise from the deep, and again disappear, as was the case with the volcanic island which sprung up a i few years ago in the Mediterranean. Bast. Mer. Jour. " Captain Courtois, commanding the ship Adolphe, arrived at Nantes from Bourbon, gives the following particulars relative to the position of an island observed during the voyage, and not hitherto laid down in the charts: 'On the 15th of October a sailor at the mast head called to me that he fancied there was land in sight?a fact which seemed sirange, since, on the preceding day, we had attained a more southerly latitude than that qf the Cap des Aiguilles, in whose direction we were. Having, however, made a very attentive observation, we werfc perfectly satisfied of the presence of land. We had then the Cape bearing W. 1-4 N. and were sailing with a wind from , the Sk S. E. The island seemed to run ' E. S. E.and W. N. W. at a distance of: about 18 miles. Its greatest length a p. peared to us to be between two and three I miles, extending nearly S. E. and N. W. I According to the point made ai noon, ana compared with the time of our last observation, the position of the island will be j 36 deg. 5 min. south latitude, and 21 deg. Sfl min. east longitude.'" * CHERAW PRICES CUKRENT.
