" I have mv reasons, Lizzy; when I have
once seen her enjoying the undisputed possession
of your admiration, we shall retire
to our quiet home, and laugh at the follies
we now perpetrate.
"Do you suppose your wife will he content
to retire from the gay scenes she now
adorns?"
"My wife is only obeying my* wishes in
leaving the seclusion which site loves?
I have my reasons, 1 tell you. By this
way, what has become of "our Jessie?"
"Ah, Fred, you ought to thank us for
manoeuvring you out of that folly; if we
had not sent Jessie out ot tiie way, you
might now have been the husband uf a little
sewing girl, instead of glorying in a
wife who claims the praises of princes."
"Perhaps I might, Lizzy, but where is
the pretty seamstress?"
"I don't know; she and her mother removed
from their old residence soon after
you saw her here; and I could d's-over no
trace of them. I suppose she is the wife
of some hones! carpenter by this time.?
But tell ns, Fred, when we shall see Mrs.
Carleton?"
"We will meet you at Mrs. Grantham's
soiree."
"Ah! I see; you thinks she needs the accessaries

ashamed of your wile, Fred."
"Perhaps I am only ashamed of my sisters,"

laugh, he hurried away.

Mrs. Grantham's mansion; but they were
far too fashionable to be punctual, ami it
was quite late when they entered the
crowded room. Their steps were arrested
by the sound of a simple prelude upon the
harp, as they paused just within the door,
a sweet, birdlike voice, filled the apartment
with melody. The song was the fine
ballad of "Old Robin Gray," which, when
well sung never fails to thrill every heart;
and as the singer now threw her whole
soul into the mourful strains, all stood in
breathless attention to catch the exquisite
sounds.
"It must be Fred's wife," whispered
Lizzy, as they pressed forward to catch a
glimpse of the vocalist. But her back was
turned towards them, and tney could only
see a sylph-like figure, attired with the utmost
magnificence.
"How do you like your new sister, said
Mrs. Grantham, as she welcomed her
guests; "is she not all I pictured her?"
"We have not seen hev,'' was the reply, .
and at that moment Fred approached.? j
What was their astonishment, when in the
lady leaning upon hir arm, they discovered
"Our Jessie." I
As he led his wife to a seat beside them, i
and listened to their greciotis welcome, he
could not forbear whispering to Lizzy,
"You see how much i am indebted to you
for your manoeuvring?the partner of a j
royal duke, the belle of an hereditary
prince, the songstress of the regal soirees, '
is, after all, only the little sewing girl." i

Frcu Carleton had devoted the first two
years of his wedded life to the cultivation
of his wife's fine musical talents, and he
then brough her into society, determined
to try whether beauty, talents and grace
were not sufficient cleinis upon the fashionable
world. He had succeeded even
beyond his hopes, and as be had beheld
her receiving the homage of rank and fortune,
he could not but smile at the remembrance
of the indignation which his sisters
had once expressed respecting so degrading
an alliance. As soon as he saw his
wife's charms fully appreciated, aud was
convinced that his sisters had become reconciled
to the thought of introducing her
into society, Fred gladly withdrew from
its frivolous gaieties, and during a long

CAUIDEX:
SATURDAY MOlLMNU, FEBRUARY*23,1810
"\V AN i ED " I MM EDI AT E L Y ~
A sour.rt Journeyman Printer, to whom
a permanent situation will bo given.
?E3?Wc hope our readers will excuse us
this work, fur the absence of our usual variety
of selected matter, and for doubling
some of our advertisements. The publisher
was left alone (on Wednesday morning,
with not a type set up,) to print the paper,
and there was 110 other way for him to get
it out.
We arc indebted to the Hon. Thomas
D. Sumter, our Representative in Congress,
for various public documents.
We are also indebted to the lion. S. II.
Iiu'lcr, for a pamphlet copy of his speech
on the abolition question. We will endeavor
to lay it before our readers next week.
The Pendleton Messenger, in noticing
- - r > - 11 ... i 1>
llie nui::iii;ui jit ui mc ui>u. ?. *.. kh.u
Ar.osox for the ofiicc of Governor, holds
the following language, in reference to our
fD O O 7
old parly divisions:
"\V confess too, that we should like to
see sonic evidence of general amnesty by
the old Union party, in the choice of some
the opposition party to the legislature from
the districts where they have held the ascendancy.
The nuliilication riisliieis have
n many casts set the example of electing
their old opponents, but if it has been followed
in a single instance by the Union
districts, we cannot call it to mind-"
The Messenger must lia^c noticed very
superficially, the current of events, not to
be able to call to mind u single instance,
:n which the old Union party have set the
example, which the editor says he should
like to sec. In this district, the majority
in favor of the Union party was as decided
as perhaps any other in the State and party
spirit raged as fiercely, and yet here, of
three Representatives two of them are o;the
Nullification party. In the adjoining
district of Chesterfield, where the same
remark with respect to the strength of parties
is equally applicable, out of two members
to the IIousc of Representatives, one
is a NuUifier. This Congressional Dis.
trift ton. alwavs heretofore represented
by a Union man, and in which the Union
party held no doubtful ascendancy, now
sends a Nullifier to Congress, showing a
liberality on ihc part of Union men which
ought, we think, to satisfy the Messenger.
While on this subject, we may add, that
we do not recollect a single instance where
a Nullifier Iv.s failed to be elected to office
in any district, where the Union party had
the ascendancy, simply because he was a
Nullifier. Numerous instances of their
election to offices other than that of Representative,
are fresh in our recollection.
In this District, since the adjustment in relation
to the oath of allegiance, at the Legislature
of 1631, we have never known
the existence of the Nullification and U-1
nion narties. as such, but all seemed de
termined to try who should soonest forget
that an} such division ever existed.

CONGRESS.
There appears to be very little doing in
either House of Congress. The Senate,;
since the adoption of Mr. Johnson's Reso- j
Imions'in the llonse, has become the arena |
for the discussion of the abolition question.
On the 13th inst. Mr. Clay presented!
the petition of one Michael II. Baiiton,
"praying the abolition of slavery." Upon
ihe question of its reception, along debate
ensued, in which the whole day was con
umcd. The motion to receive was final
ly laid on tlic lablo. The course of MrTartan
(brother to Arthur, \vc believe,)
.Senator from Ohio, and success >r to the
inccnciiary Morris, is worthy of all praise,
lie hail been charged with a bundle of these
petitions, and the mode he adopted, was
simply to inform the Senate of the fact,
induing which he took occasion to vindi-!
cate himself nobly from the slanderous!
charge which had been urged against him,
that he was an abolitionist. He refused to
present the petitions. The discussion in
this body still continues on the report of j
the committee on the subject of the State j
Debts. /
The House of Representatives are dis-j
cussing matters and tilings in general; anil,
it is a remarkable fact, that in all their pro|
ecedings, in every speech which is made, i
almost without exception, a digression j
from the subject is inevitable to some matter
connected with the Presidential election.
No matter what question is started,
it is sure to terminate, if it terminates at
all, in a hook upon which to hang an electioneering
spcecn for one or the other candidates
for the Presidency. Indeed, it
would seem from a cursory glance at the
proceedings of both Houses, that the
members considered it their main business
to make a President, instead of attending
to the legislation of the country.?
They never appear to remember that the |
people have any tiling to do with the mat-;
ter. If they would attend to the duties for j
which they were elected, and leave the I
Presidential and other questions with;
which they have as little to do, to their
constituents, we might expect wiser legislation,
shorter sessions, and a more prosperous
state of afluirs.

A RECEIPT
to cure tiie bite of a mad dog, or other
rabid animal.
Make an incision immediately at the
i? ~r .t._ i i ?

red hot iron; bath the wound twice a day
in strong salt and water, and dress it with
lint dipped in spirits of hartshorn.
Take equal parts of gum galbantim. Russian
Caster; assafoctida. and socolrine aloes;
make the mass into five grain pills;
give two twice a day for twenty-seven
days, and rub the throat and under the jaw
well with mercurial ointment.
This is the remedy used successfully by
the late Dr. Isaac Alexander of Camden.
The writer of this had a dog cured, that
was bodly bitten in his presence by a mad
dog. In order to inspire confidence in this
receipt, I will, write off the circumstances:
. In February, 1S02,1 resided in Camden,
and mail dogs were very common; I had
a favorite dog which I observed acted very
restlessly, but was still fond of me and
obedient; he was following me round Captain
Isaac DuIJose's lot, where the Captain
had a pet Eagle; the eagle rondo a noise,
and my dog (though a small one) jatnpcd
a high lence, seized the eagle and tore it
to pieces.
This alarmed me and I immediately turned
back for home. When I entered the
tlic yard, my dog jumped on a small puppy
and bit him badly. I then went with the
dog immediately to Dr. Isaac Alexander,
to have his opinion. While in conversation
with him about the dog, the Doctor
had a small puppy that came up, and my
dog jumped on him and bit him, and the
doctor pronounced my dog mad. I then
told him that my famous bull puppy had
just been bitten by that dog. lie replied
that lie would euro him for me, and there
was no danger, and to prove the certainty
of the cure, he would put up his puppy,
about which he did not care?on the ninth
day his puppy went raging mad.' He
cure d my puppy, which lived several years
afterwards, and never went mad. There
arc several persons, who live in and about
Camden, that must still rccolIect.Dr. Isaac
Alexander?who was no Empiric, bate man
0f great learning and a gentleman.
As a mad dog has lately been in my
neighborhood, and done much mischief
that is known of, and perhaps much that is
not known, I would advise my fellow citizens
to he on their guard, and should any
be so unfortunate as to be bitten, Dr. I.-:aac
Alexander's remedy is within their reach'
and with which he cured several persons
as well as beasts, and in no instance was it
known to fail. lie cured Mr. Israel ?\Ia
this, who had been bitten by a mad dog
and who averred that he had the premonitory
symptoms of hydrophobia.
AN OLD FARMER.
The Spanish. Blood Hounds?The tvliigs
have been profuse in their denunciations
of the Administration for having sent to
Cuba for bloodhounds to hunt down themurderous
Seminolcs of Florida. They |
supposed tlicy had discovered a new sub-i
ject from which "political capital" might
be advantageously raised, and profitably
used; but it turns out that the Secretary of
War had no hand in the busi ess, and
knew nothing about it except from rumor.
The Washington Globe of the 24lh tilt,
says, "We have ascertained that the Wari
Department is only acquainted with the
circumstances through public rumor, and
knows nothing of the matter officially. It
does not surprise us that the inhabitants
of a country, which has been so cruelly j
desolated, and when every hearthstone is!
sprinkled with blood, sjiould resort to any !
imaginable moans to protect their families
from the prowling and murderous savages, i

ANOTHER INDIAN MURDER IN :
EAST-FLORIDA.
To the En iter of the Pacanvah Georgian:
As a military train consisting of twelve
wagons, were returning lire in station No.
12 to Garey's Ferry, on Wednesday, the 1
3th inst. and when within three miles of
the Seven Mile House, and ten front the
station at Garey's Ferrv, one of the principal
military stations in Florida, they were
attacked by a party of Indians that lay in
ambush in the grass near the road and
tired on, killing one of the drivers and six
mules.

set up their yelling as usual, and frightened
the mules so that they became unmanageable,
and the teams scattered in all diractious;
generally, however, running buti
a short distance before breaking the wagons
against trees.
The drivers extricated themselves from
their teams as well as they could, and
made the best of their tray .to the Sereri
Mile House, and the wagon master pro* j
