Mr. Editor: In your paper of the 1st inst. ,
in noticing a proposition which Mr. Sims
of Darlington submitted to the considers,
tion of the public, you hold these remarks: ,
"We see in the last number of the South j
Carolina Temperance Advocate the copy
of a bill which the author intends to in
(reduce into the House of Keprescnia-;
tires of this state, next winter, the object j
of which is to exempt from liability to be
old for debts of uny description one hun.
dredacres of land embracing the debtor's
homestead and one hor*e or mule. One ,
f I or benefits which it is alleged are to
fed low the enactment of such a law, is
that jit will improve the character of our
jxqwlaiiB* by establishing and fostering a
class of homest yeomanry. Such an expe.
Ximent in the art of improving men's
cuaracter, and infusing honesty into
them, has the merit of novelty at least.
If it should succeed the principle will of
course be extended to all property and all j
debts, and will entirely supercede the
need of bankrupt laws ; a reformation in
the character of our country most devout.

What reformation is it, Mr. Editor,

icisra may do with your meaning without
omitting or garbling yonr words. (1)
I agree w ith the author whose remarks
you criticise, in the policy of the proposed
measure as well as in the general truth of
his remarks, [do not, however, understand
him as saying that the measure if
adopted "will improve ike character of our
. population hy establishing and fostering a
class of komat yeomanry (2) nor do I
understand him as asserting any proposition
which suggests the "experiment in
the art.-of improving men's character,
and infusing honesty into them " hy legislation.
He neither utters, nor ({ am
.sure,J entertains any such fallacy in mo.
Tulsnr politics as the power of improving
men's hearts hy legislation. Had you
- tdone nun -the justice to publish his re. j
amides mad project of a hill together with
r y**mrmwH comment (which I hope you
now do) (3) it would have been manifest
to the reader that all the "merit" as
?v?l| as "novelty" of such a sage'experi- 1
vnent belonged to the commentator and
"* 'riot the author. There is great force in
' the application of emphasis. You re.
nAinhor iImmU nhrase "will van ride to
town to-day*"* You have misapplied (he J
emphasis, as well as imperfectly quoted* 3
The remark of the author, which y?a i
tacorrertiy quote is as follows: "It will j
improve the character of our population ,
Vf establishing and fostering a class of
- bo nest yeomanry, with those feelings of
patriotism and independence, Schick result
. from permanent ttcftlemcmti and interest in
MkigoiL"
These last words, which yon entirely ,
smut, are the emphatic words of the ?:rite
ace and shew that the "experiment" is
to infuse * feelingiof patriotism and independence"
into men?not "honesty"?as |
you suppose; (legislation cannot do that;)
and to improve the character of oar pop- ,
illation* net men's character" (4)
The author speaks of honest yeomanry
not as contra-distinguished from dishonest
yeomanry (5) or dishonest population of (
any kind?hut of a class of citizens, ,

honest and not to he mad ? so by legislation.
The word "honest" which you so much
play upon, is in fact, obviously but a gen.
eral quality applied to the description of
the class of citizens which the author
would establish and foster. Mark! it is
. not "honesty" which he proposes to establish
and foster but a class of yeoman,
ry "who will, as he supposes, as they gen.
erally are?be honest;" and by the estab.
Jishment and fostering of such a class of
citizens with those feelings of patriotism

seen that the wish which our "words'* in
their "collocation" express, is that the
present need for bankrupt laws might be
superceded ; and what the words imply, is
that if Mr. Sirns's proposed experiment
should succeed, then, this desirable end
woaM be obtained by " the exemption of
all property from liability for debts."?
For if the exemption of a part makes a
man honest, the exemption of the whole
can only the more strongly confirm that
honesty.
(2) His own very words.
(3) They will be found on the fourth
page.
(4) We wonder how our correspondent
would improve the character of our population
otherwise than by improving .the
character of individuals who compose it,
inasmuch as the plan which he advocates
does not seem to contemplate the introduction
of foreigners.
(ft) "Himegt yeomanry not as contradistinguished
from dishonest yeomanry.*'
is an abstraction rather too transcendental
for our comprehension,
?
unci independence, he proposes to improve
the character of our population. (6)
Your inference, that the tendency of
the measure would be to encourage dis
honesty (for that is what you really intend
[ suppose, and not misrepresentation) is
alike unjust to the charncfer of the measure?to
the principles of former legislation
in this state?and the known laws
of human nature.(7)
The project itself provides that ail existing
contracts shall be exc tpted from its
operation and thus guards against the
fraudulent or dishonest conduct of those
who would run in deht with this shield
overthein. The creditor is put on his
guard?notice given to him, so that he
will not extend credit on the faith of such
property as the scheme would exempt
from levy or sale. No dishonesty, therefore
is encouraged as against creditors?
they cannot complain.(S)
Again. Former legislation has in various
instances recognized and established
the principle of the measure. What
is the character of our private bank chartcrs?
Do they not, and are they not
iivamut n InrcrA hflft of the
III IC'IUCU IV LAVHi^/% M IUIp.. w
stockholder's estate from the hazzardsof
speculation and trade? The liability of
the stockholders is limited to the amount
or twice the amount of their stock. What
is the character of those companies authorized
hy act of assembly, for purposes
of trade and speculation, with limited
responsibilty ? Does not all this species
of legislation recognize the principle of
the measure, in favour of the mercantile
and speculating classes of our citizens ;
and shall less be done in favor of the agricultural
and farming interests? It is
common to cry down every measure
which has for its object the benefit of ag.
riculture, as though all other interests
were more deserving of protection. Copartnerships
with limited responsibility
may be formed, corporations with the
sime principle for banking purposes may
be enacted and no cry of dishonest tendency
is raised ; but so soon as the same
principle is proposed in a small degree to
be extended to the farmer and his family
the measure is met with denunciation of
dishonest tendencies. The truth is, the
Legislature may well do in this instance
what they have often done, in principle,
before, provided the public interests will
be promoted by it. That is the true
question.(9)
(6) The feeling of independence springing
up in the bosom of an u honest yeo.
man" from the consideration that his lana
is hot liable for his debts, is a moral phenomenon
worthy of attention from the philosopher
who is curious in such matters.
And as to the patriotism generated by
the same cause it requires not the ken of
prophecy to foretel that it will most comrhohly
evaporate with the whiskey for
which such patriots are too apt to barter
their 44 hundred acres" in this land of
free trade and drunkards' rights.
(7) If it is "unjust to the known
laws of human nature" to inler that "the
tendency of the measure would he to encourage
dishonesty" then men are natuaJlv
honest, and need not the compulsion
of law to render them practically so; they
would of course, every where, pay their
debts as far us able to do so, notwithstanding
any legal exemption of their property
from liability. The proposed "measure"
would of course he a dead letter on the
statute book and the splendid dreams of
improvement to he made by it in the
st .te of society could never be realized.
0 The gentleman who proposes the
kw knows that the federal constitution
precludes its application to existing contracts;
hut the immorality of applying to
contracts made feuhsequcntiv to its passage
would not he a whit the less for being le*
*"** 1 ? I- - ,L.
guiixed. TtU8 H'OUIU orsiy involve mesiaic
equally with the dishonest debtor in the
crime. By a legal fiction a law is con*
strued by the courts to Ikj an ingredient
in every contract on which it hears, although
it may never have entered into
the minds of the contracting parties.?
No man credits another without an exlactation
of being paid. The law may
exempt debtors, hut an honest man will
not avail himself of it. If a creditor
kindly indulges a debtor till his claim is
barred by the statute of limitations would
an honest man, on that account refuse to
pay the claim, knowing it to be just? To
do so might he consistent with lawyer
honesty but not with moral honesty.?
The refusal by a debtor to sell his land to
pay just debts merely because the law
does not compel him to do so, would be of1
precisely the same moral character with
pleacing the statute of limitations in bar
to the recovery of a just debt. A man
who could do either would most certainly
steal his neighbor's purse, or his hogs if
- - - ' ?u ?- ??.u., I
entirely sure tnat ne couiu nut pioaun;
be detected. If such a law act that proposed
were enacted, only rogues would avail
themselves of it. An hoi$st man, or a
man of one particle of pro|?er pride or
self-respect, would repulse with indignation
the very suggestion of taking shelter
under the pretext that his creditors had
been put on their guard against him by a
law of the land exempting his property
from liability for his debts.
9 Our farmers have abundant cause to
congratulate themselves that one man
has at length appeared who is willing to
legislate for their benefit. Their interest
is now to be advanced by maintaining
among them such drunken vagabonds as
with a hundred acres of land and a horse
or mule are too lazy to keep themselves
out of the sheriff's clutches. If the character
of our population is to be improved
' * 4
Your supposition, is equally at war
with the known laws of human nature.
The measure is to have a prospective
operation. Can it then tend to promote
dishonesty? Have not all writers sacred '
and profane, in all ages of the world, concurred
with the uniform experience of
mankind, in representing the character of
man as covetous ot property/ That be
is never satisfied with a little gain, but
the more he has the more he craves? A
little, so far from satisfying him and
damping his exertions, only stimulates
him to exertion to acquire more. How
than, without reversing this known law
of our nature, can the secured possession
of a small farm on which the farmer may
by industry, not only support himself and
family in comfort but also improve his
circumstances generate a tendency to
indolence and dishonesty J Those who
are entirely broken down and have nothing
may, and often do, become dispirited
and indolent. It would seem therefore
that the natural tendency of the measure
would be, if not to "infuse honesty" in the
heart of man, at least to infuse into his
pocket the ability to perform the external
and social duty of honesty. In this sense
perhaps, the words ol the author are true
even in your interpretation of them, in
"establishing and fostering an honett yeomanry."
They would have the ability
to perform their honest obligations.( 10)
I might say much more in defence of
the measure; but I desist. My object
was simply to request you to publish the
project of a bill and the author's remarks,
and to correct, what I conceived an improper
criticism. PEE DEE*
by fostering such fellows, why not do it
by general taxation, and not at the expense,
altogether, of their neighbors?
This according to our correspondent
would not accord with the " former legislation"
of the State. We cannot exactly
see the force of this argument, unless two
wrongs make a right.

phy too, more profound than Watts or
Whately, or Bacon, or Reid or Brown ever
dreampt of. Man's innate covetousness
is never satisfied; the more he has the
more he strives to increase it: therefore,
when an idle spendthrift reduces his
wealth to a hundred acres of land, his
covetousness will, at this point, make him
industrious, economical and honest f pro.
vided always that the land belongs justly
to his neighbors, and is still secured to
himself. The reform which much prop,
erty honestly possessed could not effect,
a very little unfairly held, effects-?The
greatness of the effect is in the inverse
ratio of the strength of the cause Q. E.

M Col. Worth arrived here yesterday,
bringing with him thirty-six Indians a*
mong them the celebrated sub chief Hospitarka,
and sixteen of bis picked warriors. i
The Colonel met them, by appoinmeot to
hold a talk, and this chief having so re*
peatedly deceived the whites, the Colonel
thought it decidely better for the! whole
party to remain with him, and send rues,
sages after the rest of the people, (num.
bering in all about 250) which was done,
and they have promised to come in on

Dear. Sir?The gratifying intelligence
has been communicated from Tampa
Bay. that the gallant commander of
Florida, Col. Worth, on the 17th ult.
siezed Hospitarka, a chief of importance
among the Everglades and Spanish Indians
at Pease Creek. Fifteen of Hospitarka's
warriors were taken at the same
time, including sub-chiefs. Five of the
warriors were sent out after the balance
of the tribe, numbering three hundred^ to

This is an important haul, another like it
and the Indians will cease to be in Flori.

To all this good news I must add the
mortifying intelligence, th; t on the 3d

going from Micanopy Wacahootar and
about three or four miles from the former
they were fired on by a party of twenty
fndmns. Three were killed, Daniels,
Harrold,and Jennings The troops were
immediately on thfe trail, and followed it
until night, when, singular to say, it
came out precisely at the same place
they had started from, Martin's point.?

Indian Intelligence.?We are in receipt
of the fuliowing interesting rumors, whicli
are supposed to be correct in the main:
Ahospatake, (Spread Bark,) with some
25 or 30 of Sam Jones' people, has gone
in to Pease Creek.
Tiger Tail sent in a message requesting
an interview with Col. Worth on
the 7th inlt. at Annutilga Hammock, and
that he intends bringing there all his own
people, as4tell as numerous Creeks who
have been feting with him.

comparative physical diffbmncb pu
twbbn the knglish, ibish and scotch, arc
Professor Forbes of Edinburgh, has re- *ljl
rently made a series of experiments upon tel
the physical differences between the English,
Irish, and Scotch, the results of which th?
cannot be but interesting to our readers.#
The Professor made his experiments upon
students of the University, attending his
class during many years, and therefore,
we think they roust be accurate. The ni
first attempt Was to ascertain the relative c*i
heights of a number of men at twentyfive
years of age, and he found the result ei
as here exhibited.
Age. Englvth. Seotch. Irish.
25 08. 9 inc's. 69. 3. inc's. 70.2 inc's.
This shows the Irish uppermost in the
scale of stature. ## ^
Frofesaor Ported extended his inquiries * among
the English, Scotch, and Irish a"
students, to ascertain their bodily weight,
adding examinations of a similar and im
mixed class of Belgians. The result was ro1
the following:
Agr. English. Scotch. Irish. Belgian*. lul
rs 15$ lb. . 16S 5 lbs. 156 160 lbs. [si
Here again the superiority is with the er
Irish, the others holding the relative post- 15
tions as in the case of stature. The next sw
experiment was in relation to physical mi
power. inj
Age. English. Scotch Irinh. Belgian*. Rg
$5 403 lbs. 423 1b*. 4321b*. 3391b*. ;ol
The relative result in physical energy j-j.
is about the same, and the experiments W(
altogether, show the Irish in many res- ^
pects the superior race. Suppose the aJ)
Professor had called in Doctor Comb, and ef{
had taken the dimensions of the heads, 0f
could he not have experimented relative mi
to the strength of mind ? S(1
Such experiments instituted to learn ze
the relative physical powers of citizens of
the different States in this country, might a
be a means of eliciting considerable in. a|1
formation, and we are not sure but the i pr
time will come when experiments will de. ^
monstrate, that climate and local causes, W)
independent of education, influence the CJ|
mental as well as bodily powers of man. efj
This may be considered somewhat specu- ^
lativfe by snch as have thought but little, ^
but it is assuredly a subject of interest. ^

Fatal result or Imprudence.?On
the 22d ult. Mr. A. Loomis, porter mer
chant of new Orleans, was drowned un- .
dcr the following singular circumstances:
At. 8 o'clock the steamboat Walker left
the railroad for Mandeville, while Mr. L. ^
was on board, not intending to go in her.
He was engaged in conversation and did
notice that the boat had started until ^
about a mile out, when he asked the Cap. j '
tain to return, which being inconvenient .|
was not done ; upon which he # said he ,
would jump overboard and swim 'back.? .
This was remonstrated against by several E,
persons, but he persisted, and according. .
ly got on to the iudder of the boat and
leaped into the water with all his clothes u
on him. He swam some time with apa- **
rent ease, when he accidentally lost his .
hat, for which he coolly tuined back and
recovered it. Soon after this his strength -
began to fail him, tod before assistance 1 1
could reach him from a fishing smack near .|
by, he disappeared. He was an excellent .,
swimmer, and it is thought that he must '
have been attackted with cramp. tr.
Yankee Mode of Testing Courage.?U
is well known that in the time of the old
French war much jealously existed be. .
tween the British and Provincial officers. ^
A British Major deeming himself insulted fro
by General (then Captain) Putnam sent ne
a challenge. Putnam instead of giving ch
him a direct answer, requested the pleas. ?u
ure of a personal interview with the Ma.
jor. He came to Putnam's tent.and Gi
found him seated on a small keg, quietly ve
smoking his pipe, and demanded what ex
communication ifany, Putnam had to !lc
make. 44 Why you know," said Putnam, *
" I'm but a poor miserable Yankee, that (
never fired a pistol in my life, and you
must perceive that if we fired with pistols
you have an undue advantage of me.
Here are two powder kegs; I have bored a ce
hole, and inserted a slow match in each; t? j
if you will be so good as to seat yourself an
there, I will light the matches, and he who of
dares to sit the longest without squirming,
shall be called the bravest fellow." The pf
t?nt wm full of officers and men. who were wt
henrtily tickled with the strange device tio
of the Mold . wolfe," and compelled the al
Major by thejr laughter to tquat. The
signal was given, and the matches light* J
ed ; Putnam continued smoking, quite in* ^
differently, without watching at all the ve
progressive diminution of the matches?
but the British officer, though a brave fel* ofi
low, could not help casting longing and
lingering looks downwards, and his terrors ^
increased as the length of the matches Qf
diminished. The spectators withdrew, ga,
one by one, to get out of the way of the fiel
expected explosion. At length, the fire ih*
was within an inch of the keg, the Major, thi
unable to endure longer, jumped up, and ew
drawing out his match, cried out, " Put* '
nam this is wilful murder ; draw out your fw
macth, 1 yield."?1* My dear fellow," B <
cried Putnam, ? don't be in such a hurry, ed
they're nothing but kegs of onions!" ^
