Q.
For the Fanners* Gazette.
We append a few notes to the following
communication.
Mr. Editor: In your paper of the 1st inst,
in noticing a proposition wmcn Mr. aim?
of Darlington submitted to the cnnsidefa.
tion of the public, you hold these remarks
?We see in the last number of the South
Carolina Temperance Advocate the copy
of a hill which the author intends to in
trcduce into the House of Represcnta
lives of this state, next winter, the ohjeci
of which is to exempt from liability to bt
sold for debts of uny description one hun
dredacres of land embracing the debtor's
homestead and one hor<*e or mule. Onf
wf feur benefits which it is alleged aretr
fdtlmr the enactment of such a law, is
that fit will improve the character of out
Tpoptdtdi&M by establishing and fostering a
class of honest yeomanry. Such an expe.
nment in the art of improving men%
diameter, and infusing honesty intc
them, has the merit of novelty at least,
If it should succeed the principle will ol
course be extended to all property and all
debti^ and will entirely supercede the
nf hn nlrrijnt Intra r a reformation ill
"wv" v* J - ,
the character of our country most devout.
4v to e wished."
What reformation is it, Mr. Editor,
? which you so devoutly wish/ Is it, a*
^ the collocation ofyouraords implies, the
exemption of all property from theliahility
of paying all debts/ You hardly mear
<this; y??u see however, what verbal criticiara
may do with your meaning withoui
omi tti ng or garbling your words. (1)
I agree with the author whose remarks
you criticise, in the policy of the proposed
measure as well as in the general truth ol
his remarks. I do not, however, under?tand
him as saying that the measure il
adopted will improve the character of our
. population hy establishing and fostering a
class of konat yeomanry (2) nor do 1
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,} entertains any such fallacy in mo.
nils wr politics as the power of improving
men's hearts by legislation. Had you
)nc rc*
mwnr nun infc juonw iv |>u '<ion ? u Knnatiks
smd project of a hill together with
f y^rwiFH coinmcK (which i hope you
' mil now do) (3) it would have been manifest
to the reader that all the "merit" as
well as "novelty" of such a sage'e*weri
vuent belonged to the commentator and
rot (he author. There is great force in
the application of emphasis. You re.
member the old phrase "wilt y?n ride to
town to-day.* You have misapplied the
emphasis, as well as imperfectly quoted.
The remark of the author, which voa
( correctly quote is as follows: "It will
improve the character of our population
hy establishing and fostering a class ot
^ honest yeomanry, with tkose feelings ?j
patriotim. and Mtpendene^, sehick resu!\
from permanent nctdemaUs and interest in
Ike sod.1'
These last words, which you entirely
omit, are the emphatic words of the sentence
and shew that the "experiment" if
to infuse *feelingtof patriotism end inde
? - _ ?i ...n
pcmaeace inio men?noi **nonesiy ?iu<
you suppose; (legislation cannot do that;)
and to improve the character of oar pop
illation, not men's character" (4)
The author speaks of honest yeomanry
not aa contra-distinguished from dishonest
yeomanry (5) or dishonest population ol
any kind?hut of a class of citizens,
wherever found, generally and already
honest and not to he mad 1 so hy legislation.
The word "honest" which you so much
play upon, is in fact, obviously hut a gen.
i * - I * l - -1 1 . A! i

the class of citizens which the authoi
would establish and foster. Mark! it i.<
not "honesty" which he proposes to es
tablish and foster hut a class of yeoman
ry "who will, as he supposes, as they gen.
erally arc?be honest;" and by the estab.
Jiihment and fostering of such a class ol
citizens with those feelings of patriotism
(1) Our correspondent is smart we
know ; we therefore infer that he was only
half awake when he penned his criti
cism. Otherwise he could not but have
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. Sims's propose .1 experiment
should succeed) then, this desirable end
would be obtained by 44 the exemption ol
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 fourtl
page.
(4) We wonder how our corresponded
would improve the character of our popu
lation otherwise than bv improving . the
character of individuals who compose it
inasmuch as the plan which he advocate*
does wot seem to contemplate the iutro
ductio* of foreigners.
(5) "Honest yeomanry not as contra
distinguished from dishonest yeomanry*
is an abstraction rather too iransceuden
taJ for our comprehension,
and independence, he proposes to improve
the character of our population. (6)
Your inference, that the tendency of
? the measure would lie to encourage di$*
honesty (for that is what you really intend
I suppose, and not misrepresentation) is
alike unjust to the character of the mcasure?to
the principles of former legislation
in this state?and the known laws
of human nature.(7)
\ The project itself provides that all existing
contracts shall be exc *pted from its
> operation and thus guards against the
> fraudulent or dishonest conduct of those
who would run in debt with this shield
: over them. The creditor is put on his
i guard?notice.given to him, so that he
r will not extend credit on the faith of such
property as the scheme would exempt
from levy or sale. No dishonesty, theret!
fore is encouraged as against creditors-?

F dency is raised ; but so soon as the same
principle is proposed in a small degree to

' the measure is met with denunciation of
i dishonest tendencies. The truth is, the
Legislature may well do in this instance
what they have often done, in principle,
1 i before, provided the public interests will

question.(9)

(6) The feeling of independence springf
ing up in the bosom of an 44 honest yeo.
i man" from the consideration that his land
. is not liable for his debts, is a moral phe.
i nomenoo worthy of attention from the phi.
losopher 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 com.

which such patriots are too apt to barter
their 44 hundred acres" in this land of
free trade and drunkards' rights.
(?) n it is "unjust???to the known
laws of human nature" to inter that "the
tendency of the measure would he to en.
'courage dishonesty" then men are natu'
i ally honest, and need not the compulsion
I <?f law to render thorn practically so; they
_ would of course, every where, pay their
debts as far as able to do so, notwithstand*
ing any legal exemption of their property
1 from liability. The proposed "measure" J
would of course he a dead letter on the
statute book and the splendid dreams of
' improvement to be made by it in the
1 si .te of society could never be realized.
8 The gentleman who proposes the
1 law knows that the federal constitution
1 precludes its application to existing con.
tracts; but the immorality of applying to
contracts made subsequently to its passage
would not he a whit the less for being le
; galixed. This would only involve tnesiaie
equally with the dishonest debtor in the
1 crime. By a legal fiction a law is construed
hy the courts to he an ingredient
in every contract on which it hears, al1
though it may never have entered into
' the minds of the contracting parlies.?
^ No man credits another without an exj

' an honest man, on that account refuse to

1 do so might l>e consistent with lawyer
honesty but not with moral honesty.?
1 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 of
1 precisely the same moral character with

T l>e detected. If such a law as that propo
sed were enacted, only rogues would avail
t themselves of it. An hoi#st man, or a
J man of one particle of proper pride or
I self-respect, would repulse with indignation
the very suggestion of taking shelter
under the pretext that his creditors had
1 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
i congratulate themselves that one man
' has at length appeared who is willing to
* legislate for their benefit. Their inter'
est 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
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 ail writers sacred i
and profane, in all ages of the world, com
curred 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
hira 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 fanner may
by industry, not only support himself and
family in comfort but also improve liii
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 honest yeomanry."
They would have the ability
to perform their honest obligations.(lO)
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 the?r neighbors?
This according to our correspondent
would not accord with the " former legislation"
of the Slate. We cannot exactly
see the force of this argument, unless two
wrongs make a right.
10 There's logic for you, and philosophy
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

covetousness will, at this point, make him
industrious, economical and honest; pro.
vided always that the land belongs justly
to his neighbors, and is still secured to
himself. The reform which much property
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.

COMPABATIVK PHYSICAL DIPFBlBXC* ??
TWSBN THE ENGLISH, IBISH Alfl) SCOTCH.
Professor Forbes of Edinburgh, has re.
rently made a series of experiments upon
the physical differences between the Eng.
lish, Irish, and Scotch, the results of which
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 must be accurate. The
first attempt was to ascertain the relative
heights of a number of men at twenty,
five years of age, and he found the result
as here exhibited.
Ac*. ffaaf.'.t L..I
uw?vrti mw t??f?
25 68. 9 inc's. 69. 3. inc's. 70.2 inc's.
This shows the Irish uppermost in the
scale of stature.
Professor Forbes extended his inquiries
among the English, Scotch, and Irish
students, to ascertain their bodily weight,
adding examinations of a similar and
mixed class of Belgians. The result was
the following:
A g?. English. Scotch. Irish. Belgians.
f 5 . 152 lb. ; 152 5 lbs. 155 150 lbs.
Here again the superiority is with the
Irishi the others holding the relative positions
as in the case of stature. The next
experimyt was in relation to physical
power.
Age. English. Scotch Irish. Belgians.
25 403 lbs. 423 lbs. 432 lbs. 339 lbs.
The relative result in physical energy
is about the same, and the experiments
altogether, show the Irish in many respects
the superior race. Suppose the
Professor had called in Doctor Comb, and
had taken the dimensions of the heads,
could he not have experimented relative
to the strength of mind ?
Such experiments instituted to learn
the relative physical powers of citizens of
the cliflere/it States in this country, might
be a means of eliciting considerable information,
and we are not sure but the
time will come when experiments will demonstrate,
that climate and local causes,
independent of education, influence the
mental as well as bodily powers of man.
This may be considered somewhat speculative
by snch as have thought but little,
but it is assuredly a subject of interest.

Fatal result of Imprudence.?On
the 22d tilt. Mr. A. Loomis, porter merchant
of new Orleans, was drowned under
the following singular circumstances:
At.6 o'clock the steamboat Walker left

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.
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
persons, but he persisted, and accordingly
got on to the rudder of the boat and
leaped into the water with all his clothes
on him. He swam sometime with apa>
rent ease, when he accidentally lost his
hat, for which he coolly tuined back and
recovered it. Soon alter this his strength
began to fail him, and before assistance
could reach hioit 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.
Ymkee. Mode of Testing Couragt.?It
is welil known that in the time of the old
French war much jealously existed betwecri
the British and Provincial officers.
A British Major deeming himself insulted
by General (then Captain) Putnam sent
a cha llenge. Putnam instead of giving
him a direct answer, requested the pleas,
ure of a personal interview with the Ma.
|or. He came to Putnam's tent .and
found him seated on a small keg, quietly
smoking his pipe, and demanded what
communication if any, Pu nam had to
make. 44 Why you know," said Putnam,
It fknf a o/wmi mionvn kl.* VnnlfAA ?k.?^

never Bred a pistol in my life, and you
must perceive that if we Bred with pistols
you htve an undue advantage of me.
Here ire two powder kegs; I have bored a
hole, and inserted a slow match in each;
if you will be so good as to seat yourself
there, I will light the matches, and he who
dares to sit the longest without squirming,
shall lie called the bravest fellow." The
tent was full of officers and men, who were
heartily tickled with the strange device
of the "old r wolfe," and compelled the
Major by their laughter to squat. The
signal was given, and the matches light*
ed ; Putnam continued smoking, quite in*
differently, without watching at all the
progressive diminution of the matches?
hut the British officer, though a brave fellow,
could not help casting longing and
lingering looks downwards, and his terrors
increased as the length of the matches
diminished. The spectators withdrew,
one by one, to get out of the way of the
expected explosion. At length, the Bre
was within an inch of the keg, the Major,
jnable to endure longer, jumped up, and
drawing out his match, cried out, Put*
nam this is wilful murder ; draw out your
nacth, i yield."?14 My dear fellow,"
;ried Putnam, * don't he in such a hurry,
[hey're nothing but kegs of onions!"

Friends Gaxes <k Seaton : I notice
in the Intelligencer of to?day, under the
lead of ** Atmospherical Phenomenon,"
in article from the Nashville Banner,
describing what is stated to have been a
* shower of flesh and blood," in the vicinity
of Lebanon, Tennessee. The same
iccouut, or a similar one, has also been
??
published in seveHit other papers. There
are many persona of that peculiar temper*
ament that is unfavorably affected by intelligence
of so unusual and awful a character
; to such it may be a relief to learn
that the phenomenon alluded to finds its
ready explanation in a well-ascertained
fact in the economy of insect#. In the
interesting and instructive work of Kntax
de Suites, on the 44 Natural History of
Insects," are the following remarks, which
explain the whole subject t
44 Many species of LepiHojrtera, (But*
terflies] when they emerge from the pupa
or chrysalis state, discharge a reddish
fluid, which, in some instances, where
their numbers havo been considerable,
has produced the appearance of a shower
of blood; and by this natural fact, all
those bloody showers, recorded by histori.
ans as preternatural, and regarded, where
they happened, as fearful prognostics of
impending evua, are sirippea ui ineir ierrors,
and reduced to the class of events
that happen in the common course of Nature.
That insects are the cause of these
[supposed] showers is no recent discoverv;
for Sleidan relates that, in the year
1553, a vast multitude of butterflies
swarmed through a great part of Germany,
and sprinkled plants, leaves, buildings.
clothes, and men, with bloody drops,
as if it had rained blood. But the most
interesting account of an event of this
kind is given by Reaumur, from whom
we learn that, in the beginning of July,
1608, the suburbs of Aix, and a considerable
extent of country round it, werecovered
with what appeared to be a shower
of blood. We may conceive the amaze
ment and stupor of the populace upon
such a discovery, the alarm of the citi
zens, the grave reasonings of the learned
All agreed, however, in attributing th<
appearance to the powers of darkness
and in regarding it as the prognostic and
precursor of some direful misfortune
about to befall them. Fear and prejudice
would have taken deep root upon.this occasion,
and might have produced fatal
effects upon some weak minds, had not
M. Peiresc, a celebrated philosopher oi
that place, paid attention to insects. A
chrysalis, which he preserved in his cabinet,
let him into the secret of this mysterious
shower. Hearing a fluttering,
which informed him his insect had arrived
at its perfect state, he opened, the
box in which he kept it; the animal flew
out, and left behind it a red spot. He
compared this with the spots of the bloody
shower, and found they were alike. At
the same time he observed there was a
prodigious quantity of butterflies flying
about, and that the drops of the miraculous
r?*in were not to be found upon the
tiles, nor even upon the upper surface of
the stones, but chiefly in cavities and
places where rain could not easily come.'
Thus did this judiciou* observer * dispel
the ignorant fears and terror which a natural
phenomenon had caused."?-Vol.'i,
