stated, that within the last nine years, II

find that time and age only ccrve to increase
its beauties and its graces. Indeed,
we have never known an instance where
the commencement was so good, that the
improvement has been so great. The December
number is beautifully embellished
with n plate of "Winter Fashions for 1S30
and '40*'?its execution cannot be surpassed,
a.id to the ladies it must be invaluable,
the style being extremely well adapted to
their lovely forms and faces. This numImi*

"Spirit Uriilrillustrative of an original
tale, from iho pen of II. F Harrington,
one of llic Editors. There are also, many
other contributions of merit of interest,
both in poetry and prose; in short, the
whole is excellent.
Li/nchin%.?The Southern (Miss.) Sun
of t!ie I9lh n't. says: "Co<>k ami Carter,
who weic confined in the jail of Scott
county for murder, hare been taken by
force from prison by some of the citizens
uf that county, and hung! It will be recollected
that they once made their escape
from that jail; and were retaken. They
were brought to Rankin county two or
three weeks since for trial, but remanded
for want or some testimony. The people
have taken the law into their own hands,
and executed it vviilmul u trial.
The following particult.s of a distressing
accident are furnished the editor of the
Temperance Advocate, by his correspon
(lent at Lodi, Abbeville District. When
this ant! similar accidents, are almost daily
occurring from the same cause, it is surprising
that there any to be found to condemn
the zeal of the advocates of temperance:
' While Joel Benson, an interesting little
bov between eight and nine years of
age, the only child of a highly respectable
widow lady of this neighborhood was com
ing from Hamburg in company with several
wagons; o ving to the misconduct of some
drunken waggoners, the horse that he was
riding ran off and threw him. A small
negro boy, who rode another horse was
also thrown but not hurt. The horse of
the latter struck the white boy's head in
passing over him and broke his scull, lie
was immediately taken to the house of .Mr.
James Shepherd and medical aid procured,
but to no purpose?he expired next mor
ning about 8 o clock.
"No doubt the disconsolate mother had
promised herself many years of happiness
with her only child, her darling son, who
no\v sleeps in the icy arms of death; but
alas! how vain are all human expectations.
Sincerely does this community sympathise
with the afflicted mother, in her sad bereavement.
May the God of Heaven bind
up her broken heart, and may she take
consolation from the fact, that her little
one has exchanged a world of sorrow for
one of endless joy."

The relation between the Charleston
end Cincinnati and the Hamburg Hail road!
Companies is not probubly understood by
every body, and it would seem that the directors
of the former have preferred that
a decree of mystery should rest upon
their transactions. The charter of the
Hamburg Road was not purchased, and
is still of force. The new company bought
the stock?except a small portion, which
was retained in order to keep up a board
of directors and preserve the charier.?
j They would not, therefore be the owners
of the Hamburg road, even when they
had paid their debt to the stockholders?
I they would only bo themselves an immense
stockholder in that road under the old
charter. The purchns was made in this
way. The price of the stock was divided
into three equal portions, the first of
I which iv is paid in cash; for the oilier two
ihe Cincinnati Company gave two notes,
i payable at two staled periods with interest,
j to each stockholder in the Hamburg Road
according to his amount of stock. Each
j of these notes was secured to the holder
; by the mortgage of one half of his stock.
I The one half of these notes, first payaI
ble, have been redeemed, and consequently
the stockholders of the Hamburg Road !
have 110 lien whatever except upon one
' half the stock. The question betwpen
; the State and ihe Company then is reduced
to much narrower limits than we had as'signed
in our ormer observations Shall
! the Stale grant a million of dollars for the
[sake of perfection in its lien on otic half
i of the Hamburg Road! We are also in'
formed that the Rail Road Bank has alrea-;
! dy received in the course of business a
I lur^c amount of the notes payable in Janj
uary?is there fear that she too will play
1 the shark, and cat up the Rail Road Com1
panv? The stockholders in the two conI
cerns are not only necessarily the same
| persons, but their interest in the one is in
I every ease proportioned to their interest
; in the other. The charier of the Hank is
j in the hands of the Legislature?why
I should it not be compelled to take these
i notes in pavntent of all debts, and cancel
them as they are received!?No inan would
j be wronged by it, <5c it would obviate the

I GEO. \ND MAINE CONTROVERSY,:
TJte Milledgct ille correspondent af the
Augusta Constitutionalist states that in j
the House of Representative?, on the 11 til1
i inst. "a report was made front the Committee
on the State of llm Republic, in relation
to the Maine controversy To this
report was appended a bill, lite ; rovi-ions
of which arc; 1st, the citizens of the
State of Maine, if found within the juris
diction of Georgia, are to be considered
as enemies, and dealt with accordingly.?
lid, the property ol the citizens of Maine,
lying and being in Georgia, is to be sequestrated.
After the report and the bill
I were read, Mr. Glascock, the Chairman
I of tlic Committee on the State of the Republic,
stated that the bill accompanying
the report, did not receive the sanction of
a majority of the Committee, but the bill
was left appended to the report, with the
understanding that any member of the
Committee would nave the choice of supporting
or opposing the bill."
It appears from the message of the Gov- :
ernor of Virginia, that i controversy, similar
to the one between Georgia and
Maine, is now pending between Viifiinia
and New York.?Carolinian. ;
i
Small Bills.?A proposition is before:
the Legislature, to stop the issue of small,
bills by the Bank of the State, which we
j think worthy of serious consideration.?
j The adoption of some such measure seems
! necessary to the consistency and character
of the State, u der its acknowledged
principles- The bills under one dollar,
should be stopped entirely; but it is wor:
thy of consideration whether the Bank
I should not issue a very small number of
I 82, 83, and S4 bills, sufficient to promote
i the public convenience, in remitiances by
mail, but not to enter into common and
general circulation?enough to enougi. to
enable persons generally to procure them
with some enquiry and trouble, but not to
be always in every one's pocket.
It is universally acknowledged in Georgia,
that no law has ever worked better,
in that State, or done more to improve the
condition of the Banks and the currency
than the one prohibiting the circulation of
b ' Is under 85, and there can, consequent
Jy be no question as to the effects of such
a law here.?lb. ]
" Whig" Candor.?Some of tlie most
ramlitl of the " Whig" papers have "given i
up the ship," and confess that their cause [
is now hopeless. We shall be rejoiced to
see the candid of that party, who confess
their error, and acknowledge that they
were wrong and the Democratic Hepubli- ,
cans right in regard to the banking system,
come forward and join, with us in giving 1
the Snb-Treasury system a fair trial. The 11
banks have been " weighed in the balances '<
and found wanting"?we must now resort
to this ^great measure of.deliverance and
liberty.?N. C. Standard.
The Mahoginy Tree in St. Domingo,
is tail, straight and beautiful, with red
flowers, and oval lemon sized fruit.?
When the tree grow? in a barren soil, the
grain of this wood is beautifully variegated?'Upon
rich ground it is pale, open,
and of little value. The machineal tree,
also grows upon this island; and its wood
furnishes slabs for furniture, interspaced
with beculiful green and yellow veins like
marble; but the dust of this wood is of so
acid and poisonous nature that the carpenters
are forced to work with gauze
masks to protect them from its injurious
: effects.

' Richmond Enquirer.?This sterling
advocate of democratic principles made
its appearance on Tuesday, in an entire
new and much improved dress. The ven;
crable editor, after thirty five years' devo-!
lion to the labor of the press, still exbib-'
i its as much vigor of intellect anil untiring
industry us in his earlier days, when he
first entered the ranks and led the van in.
the hard fought contests of the day. We i
sincerely wish him every desirable success,
and give him our hearty hopes, that
he may long live not only in the enjoyment
of the generous and deserved reward
of his labors, but with the high gratification
of finally and folly seeing established
ttie great principles for which he has so
long and so well done battle.

A now paper lias b>'on commenced in
New Yo k culled ilit* "Herald of Holiness"
?published by Edmund Palmer, "without
monev and without price." Mr. Palmer
says lie "has nothing to do with money,
Ijcimc nvinced that it is not, as most persons
suppose, a perverted, but a perverting
institution: an engine of oppression, and a
curse of all mankind " All this may he
very true: but still we. are at a loss to conceive
how Mr. Edmund Palmer manages
to live without contaminating his lingers
with the base stuff, and more than ad how
he manages to get his paper printed without
paying for it. That were a secret
worth knowing. Indeed, if Mr Palmer
will apprize the world of his modus opera
di, there will no longer b<* any excuse for
meddling with money; and therefore that
will be the shortest possible cut to the
great change lie proposes in the economy

that men come to the conclusion that gold
and silver and " promises to pay" are no
ni-'re val able than brick dust and blank
paper. But, if Mr. Palmer succeeds in
living without money, and in printing a
paper too, we do not see why others may
not "follow in his footsteps," though he
lie for a time solitary and alone. We fear,
however, that he will fail in his "Experiment;"
and that, like the Irishman's
horse, he will die just as he has learned
t" live without eating, or else that he will
he cast into the debtor's prison just as he
has devised a plan to print a paper without
paying for it. However, we shall await
the denouncement, (as newspaper paragraphists
say,) with intense anxiety! ?
