Tlie secretary ui ? * ... d*d and particular notice of the races in our next paper. The weather was as delightful as could be dcsircu, and the course in excellent order. Sweet Potatoes?Our old friend Clcimioitfr seems to be as successful in the culture of the sweet Potato this season, as lie has been with the Irish, i We had on our table yesterday, one from his patch,, which would have made a Virginian's mouth water. Jt measured upwards of two feet in length, and although its circnuiiercncf was not precisely in proportion, yet it was very respectable. Its lluvor was delicious. Another.?C.ipt. Bow ex has laid on our desk another mammoth root. Whatever may lie said of the shortness of the Cotton crop, that of Potatoes, from the samples before us, is not only I kely to prove of superior ijuality, bit? very abundant. Captain Bowex's Potato weighed, filler being several davs out of the ground, live pounds, and measured Id 3-1 inches in circumference. If any of our brethren of the quill can bo ot of lager Potatoes than those, we should be glad to near from them. C forma.?The Legislature of this Stale assembled, at .Miliedgevillc, on Monday the 2J instant.' >- i.:- tliat The Governor iccoinmuuita m. , , measures be taken to compel the Banks to resume specie payments at an early day. The Prksidextiaj. Election,?Tiic accounts from the dilToreut States, in which elections have been " held, arc so contradictory tliat it is impossible to ar-1 live at any thing like truth in relation to thorn, j Both parties seem to make it a mailer of conscience , to misrepresent the results. So returns which wo j could select from any of our exchange papers would I bo calculated to afford our readers an}-thing like at correct ir'ca; and ye siiall not therefore attempt, j this week, to give the result in any of the States.' By the time our next paper is published, wo have no doubt but tho matter wiil he finally settled, and the result known and admitted bv all, and il' our readers dislike, as much as we do. to hear bad news, that will bo time enough to give it t6 them. But if, contrary to ail our expectations at present, the Dconocrutie parly should not be defeated, we shall not enjoy the victory any loss, in consequence of tho 1 low spirits we have been in for some weeks past. fOSEIGX NEWS. 'We arc indebted to the politeness of tho Editors of : M,irt?nrr Siirual. Xic.v York, for the earliest illlcl- I O c ' . J licence of like arrival of tlse Britannia steam chip, , nt Boston, which left Liverpool on the lDliiult.?: Tiie news brought by the Brittania, is of a more pa-: cific cliaraclcr. The prospect is now, that there j jvill l?o no war between France and England. Mo. j ncy was remarkably scarce in England, and the; .rate of interest had advanced, and it was thought j the Bank directors would raise it to 6 per cent. The ! doinand for Cotton had been limited, and the mar-1 ketdull; no decline had taken place, but prices were j inaiutained with difficulty. The trial of Prince [ Lotus Nipolfo.v, and his companions, lir.d been! concluded, and the following are the sentences passed upon them: " Prince Louis Napoleon, perpetual imprisonment in a Eoitrcss. "Count Montliolon. 20 years' detention; Yoisin, 10 ditto; Mcsouan, 15 uitto; Parquin, 20 ditto; Bouf. fwt Montauban, 5 ditto; Lombard, 20 ditto; Forrestier, 10 ditto. " Second Rank.?Bataille, 5 years' detention; Ala(Ionize, .transportation for life; Laborde, 2 years' detention; Desjardino, acquittod; Galvoni, ditto; Dc Lambert, ditto; Bare, ditto." Thr Piiiladelmiu Casket.?We have received tlie November number of this publication, ns usual rich and elegant m its contents. The embellishments arc a view of Fort Putnam, a plate of fashions for evening dresses, containing three ligurse, very Ipantifuj, and at least equal to any that we have gpen, and two pages of Mu.-ic, " Garde a' vops," ,1 paiii. In observing persons in this siluaa lion, we have always been impressed with b an idea that the appioach of natural death . produces a sensation similar to that of fali ling asleep. The disturbance of respirat lion is the only apparent source of uneasii j ness to the dying and sensibility seems to be impaired just in proportion to the tie-1 I crease of that function. Besides, both sjtlie impressions of present objects and ? those recalled ky memory are influenced _J by the extreme debility of the patient; rr! whose wish is for absolute rest. Wei f! could never sec the close of life under! I, these circumstances without recollecting j ; those beautiful lines of Spencer: | "Sleep after toil; port after stormy seas; u i Eise alter war, death after life doth greatly please." c i The. Anatomy of Suicide. Is I _ . _ ui Revolutionary Anecdote.?In the | c year 1778, when the combined forces of( n France and America were contemplating 'We learn 1>y an advertisement upon the cover lat on tho first of January, t!ie Casket and thi 'entleman's Magazine will be united under the titli f " Graham's Magazine, and the Ladies and Gon crncn's World of Literature and Fashion." Fron ic reputation of both publications, and the talon mbraccd in their long list of contributors, this unioi annot fail to produce a very suporior work. The Lady's Book.?Tho Novombcr number ha jachcd us. Its literary charact"r is too, well csta lishod, to require any commendation from u?.rhe cmbclishmenls are, a most beautiful cngravinj The Indian maid," a print of the fashions fu Cloaks and dresses, and a piece of Music, 01 onio with me in my light canoe.,' Attempt to Assassinate Louis Pmi.r.irE.?Anc her attempt was made on the 15th ult. to assassinat he King of tho French. As the King was rcturniii| 0 St. Cloud, accompanied by the Queen and Ma lame Adelaide, an individual tired a carbine in th fraction of the carriage. .Neither the lung, Qucc >r Madame Adelaide were injured. O.ic of th National Guard was wounded in the hand by a slu> tud one of the footincn, who was standing hcliin he carriage, received a shot in the leg. T!io nam >f tho assassin is Mahu'3 Darme.s. T!:o Carbin vas so heavily loaded that it burst, and wounded iiir icvcrely in tlio liand. The following extract embrace ill the information obtained on bis arrest. D lrmcs, when arrested, burst into a violent pa: :ion, and exclaimed? ' Cursed Carbino I bad take 1 good aim, but I overloaded it." To tho first question which was addressed to bin ic at first replied, " Conspirator." ' What is your profession?" " An cxtci ruinator of tyrants." ' What could have induced you to commit so ho iblo a crime." " I am not a hired conspirator; I followed the in nf inu V ,LtJ ~~ w* "V "How long is it since you formed litis resolution u About an hour since; I wished to rid France < lie greatest tyrant that she ever produced." ] Urates is of low stature; lie has a scowling at Icrocious expression of countenance. His bearit indicates most determined resolution. His wound is serious, and requires medical assi tai.ee. It is asserted that it will bo necessary amputate two or three of his fing rs. The pain the wound was so intense that lie fainted. On the boulevards and public place.?* the news the attempt on the king's life produced an extraorc nary effect. Tkxian Cities.?A missionary of i! .victiiodist E. Cluirclf says: "jYou tukea a newspaper, and you read of the cilh of Vulasco, Brazoria; Auslin, and yr picture out in your mind Baltimore, Pli ladclphia, and New York, or at lcn< L uiisville. Matches, and Virksbtirg; b you would lie a little surprisrd in visitir i!i '. ( -itirs it. find that some of the have oiii) a il.tzen houses, and others /hern none at all! In our papers, letter See., we Texians have a little of th grandiloquence which characterized tl I'.rst tfoiitfra nf our fa'.her land.^Ilis ill a si v w" " ? " ' s? as easy to lay off a city as a village, ai we ean write town, a little sooner tbr we can hami.kt. Amu you kn w tl imps of cities look better than the m?ij of villages: ami who would not rather lii in a town than a hamlet! Galveston is to be a city without dou ? the Now York of Texas. It is in i infantile state, bring only about cightec months old; yet it has, I suppose, G( houses, and at,present-about 3000 inhat tunts. The wiu'er population is' greatf as in all southern cities, notwithstundii the delightful breezes, uhicii bl<>w fro the gnlf, makes it a desirable stumner r trejf. Virgil knew nothing of the sr breathing zephyrs which daily and nigli ly fan the inhabitants of Galveston. During his tour in Northern Arabia, 1 Fresnel collected several traits of An character; one of them indicates a loftine of sentiment unknown in Europe. It w told by my friend's guide, a brave at simple hearted Ledaw wee :?" \\ e we engaged with a hostile tribe, fought liar killed many, but being overpowered I numbers, I was made prisoner, and h before the captor's Shaykh : his wife w seated beside him. Their youngest s< then came, and, standing before his p rents, 44 Mehhscn is gone," said li 44 Salehh is gone, here is a man who kilh ilium." 44 My son,'' said the Arab rnatro interrupting the word of revenge, 44 if rr two oldest sons have fallen this day i battle, you ought to have revenged the in the field, this warrior is now our prisoi er, and shall be? treated accordingly.' Mr. Fresnel's guide was subsequently r leased. I ain sorry that it was not in in power to name the clan of this high mil ded woman. R one and Sparta woul have built a temple to such a deed < virtue. Lcath not a Painful Process.?It hi been observed many commit suicide froi n notion that death from natural causes, attended with considerable agony. Th is the generally received notion, but is a cronous one. Those who have often v.i nessed the act oi dying anow mat it i not a painful process. In some dclicnt and irritable persons, a kind of strugyl is indeed somtimes excited when rcspirs lion becomes difficult; but more frcqueni ly the dying obviously suffer nothing, an express no uneasiness. Those jvho die c ' In nic diseases the graduation is slot and disiiuot. Consumpliv patients ar sonit limes in a dying state for sovera days; they appear at times to suffer little bnt to languish for complete dissoluiim nay, we have known them to expres great uneasiness when they have been rc called, from the commencement of inseu sibility by the cries of their friends, o the efforts of the attendants to alicviai c an attack on Newport, II. I. Gen. SuJli-. r> van arranged his army to march against llie British forces. He disposed his troops c in three divisions; the first division was c ordered to take the west road; the second. n to take the east road, and third to march ! ,H in ihe centre. The advanced guard having ! arriicd within 300 yards of tlie British, ennin enced throwing up entrenchments. ; n The British then fired a few scattering shot, which passed over the 'heads of the! j ! Americans without doing any injury.? The American guards were placed about! 30 rods in advance of the army, and within speaking distance of (he guards of the British. In full view were 5 or COO horses feeding, which excited the enterprize of ^ a young man by the name of Mason, about twenty years o]d. This young man, ' in open day, and in the presence of both u{. armies, conceived the bold design of bringing oil' one of these horses as a prize. )(j In a low piece of ground between both sentinels, were a few scattering eldefs, by means of which lie contrived to pass both lines undiscovered, and made direct > for the pasture where the horses, with their saddles on, were feeding, and the | bridles slipped about their necks. Among these young Mason selected the best horse . he could find, which he mounted, and after leaping two or three fences, entered n>e road u nion ieo 10 uic americau aim;. As lie approached the British guards, he >c put spurs to Iiis horse and passed them "P before they had lime to recove their surfs ; prise; when he received the lire of both sentinels at the same time. But our i- hero had4hc good fortune to escape un:,i hurt, and arrived sale in the American ft camp with his noble prize, he halted, and in a dignified manner, drew from his m holster both his pistols, and extending his ?f aims, discharged them both in triumph. s? But the alarm given by the sentinels at called out both armies, and the panic exc tended even to the British fleet in the harst bor. Alarm guns were fired for many id'miles llP ar>d down the coast, and the in whole country was filled with the utmost ic consternation. The British'army paraded ps in front of the fort expecting iinmediately an attack. The troops sprang fqr | their horsrs, when lo! one poor red coat bt was seen wandering alone destitute of a ts horse. The cause of alarm was soon dis'n . covered, and both .armies retired. H); Our hero, after exhibiting his horse in >i-( proud triumph for about two hours, sold r, j him to one of the officers lor live liuncJieu 'g dollars, a reward worthy of one of the in . boldest, and most daring, and successful e [enterprises of which history can boast.?' ft j Balls'on Gazette. it Edgefield, Nov. 5.
