ThE ORioIN OF "HArI. COLMunI." -In the year 1708, when patriotic * eeling, pervaded the country, and whenthere werei several parties in the field, Mr.. Fox, a young player, who was more admired for his vocal - than -histrionic powers, called on molaing upon his friend, Mr. Hopkin. 'sonand after stating that tihe follow. Ing-evening had been appointed for his ubendit, and expressing a great fear for the result, as not a single box had been taken. begged his friend to do something in his behalf. "If," said Fo6, "you will write me some -patriotio verses to the tune of the fullient' Mrch,' I feel sure of a fulos.Several of the people about the theatre have. atttempted' it, but they have come to the conclusion that it cannot be done: yet I think you may *suceed.'' Mr.' Hopkinson retired to his study, and in a short time wrote *the -first verse and chorus, which was submijtted' to Mrs. Hopkinson, whoi sang them at a piano accompaniment, and proved the measure to be comn patible and in keeping. In this way the second and other verses were writ. ten, ;nd when Mr. Fox returned in the evening, he received with delight the song as it now stands. The followving morning, small band. bills amnounced that Mr. Fox would sing a new patriotic song, etc. The1 theatre v'as crowded; the song was sung and received with rapture; it was repeated eight times, and again en cored; and when sung the ninth time, the whole audience stood up and join ed in thoecho'rus. Night after night, * "fail Columbia" cheered the visions of the theatre, ad in a few days it was the -universal song of the boys in the streets, from one end of the city to the other. Nor wvas the distiniguished author of this truly national song-a saong'whilch'rset the entire approbation of all parties of the day-forgott en. *The street in which he resided on one occasion was crowded, "and "Hall -Columbia" broke on the stillness of *midnight from a hundred patrio. tio voices. Fire Persone Injured by a Mad Cow.-Un S3unday afternoon, a mad cow appeared in the street in Phila. delphia, when a number of persons at. tempted to seicure hier. She im~nedi - ately rushed at them with great fury, ibausing itijury to no less than flvo per sons. -Daniel .

The matter was not at all correctly stated. aad as it is one of importane, I give the following as the facts : The law in question provides that in-case of the death of the widow of a soldier, then the pension shall revert to the de ceased soldier's children. There the law stops; but Secretary Thomas Ew ing decided that 'ailthough the aot' 6f Congress goes no further than to the' children, te common law steps in and carries to any other heirs. This decis ion has governed the matter since. Gov. McClellind, the present Secreta ry of the Interior, ' bas, however, de cided that this construction of the law is wrong. If the Pension law had passed previous to the enlistment and service of the soldier, then it would have formed a part of his emolument for service, and as such would come under the provisions of the common law, like any other property, to the extent of even being liable for his debts. But it was a law passed after the service had expired, and formed no part of the contract for service. The pension is simply a gratuity given by Congress after the governmect had ful filled all its agreement and duty to wards the soldiers, and as such can on ly be used to the extent the terms of the act authorized, and wo further. This cuts off a large number of claim ants, but the decision is manifestly in accordance with the law." Gov. McClelland, the Secretary. of the Interior, has asked the Attorney Guneral for an opinion on the point of law involved. A THrILLNo INCIDENT.-The old Ifag-staff at JefTerson Barracks, Mis souri, having become decayed was or dered to be taken down a few days since, and, accordingly, a soldier of Col. Bragg's battery, named Michail McAnally. mounted to the cross-trees and unshipped the top mast; from some cause it became unmanageable, and glided through the platform to the ground. The man at the mast head kept his post composedly, and give timely warning below "to stond from under." Most men with- a spar fifty feet: long, shooting and rasping like an arrow through their hands, with an in. secure footing at a dizzy hiight, would have "left the. -yard," and tumbled from the platfoim. While the parity below were removing the top-mast, to the disifty and- -consternation o6hti by otandurs;- he .main-mast with the soldier at.ill.poised at the tmast-head, swayed over, broke short oir at the base, and plunged with a tremendous crash to the ground. The soldier, in the meantime, was seen to change iis position as the mast went over, anid cireling high through the air with frightful velocity, he, with perfect self possession, . adjusted hiimzself to clear -the framework of thec cross-trees, and as the mast neared the ground, he, ex idently, with a measured leap, alighted amidst his comrades. All were start led with amazement, as much by the intrepidity displayed as by the immi aent peril it averted. The main-mast was forty-cight feet high; the solditer landed at fifty from its base. "AORCUTLTURAL EDUCATJON."-The Southern Central Agricultural Society offered a premium of A Silver Pitcher, of the value of $50, for the best essay on Agricultural Education, at their Fair of 1851--but no essay being handed in, the offer was repeated, and Mr. Edmund Ruffin who has contribu ted so much to the advancement of Scientiffie Agriculture, being at, the time the guest of the Society, was re. quested to write on some subject--en titled to a premium--and at the Fair of 1852, !is essay on Agricultur al Education was presented with five others. The Committee to whom they were referred, have allotted the premium to Mr. Rutlin, with the re quest that as it is calculated to do much good, the Society would immediately have it published, which has been done. We have received a copy, but have not yet had time to fully peruse it, but we have no doubt that if the suggestions of this dis t-iguished gentleman are follow ed, that the Schools will be as nseful and advantageous to the Ag~ri culture of the country, as the West Point Academy has been to the Mili tary knowledge of the United States .---laconu Telegraph. NAVAt CLAws-The late acts of Congress giving extra pay to those who were ini the nauval service of the United States during the war with Mexico, embrace tall officers and sea men of the navy; ofileers, non com missoned officers, musicians and pri vates of the marino corps, as also all who were ini the revenue service, aind it is bel:eved that the amount required to liquidate claiurs ander these acts will exceed three millions ofdollars. The Mobile Advertiser records the recent killing of a Mocassian Snake of' the largest kind in the river near the wharf, at the Bottom of St. Louis st. Being landed it was found to mecas ure 41 feet 2 inches in length; Its body in the thickest part being nearly the size of a man's wrist. Afteor he was extinct its two fangs were extraeted, and proved to be little short of half an inch in lenigth.

After executing a se ries of . evolutions, the cavalry were drawn up in a line, and their command er, waving~his sword, Governor Ham ilton a oped forward, leaving his staff in thoir position. Whilst Ham. ilton war sporting-hisabeaqtifbl bay along the line, we chanced to turn, and look towards his. staffi. Theaides de camp were singularly fine looking, and oMe of them, who was at least six feet four inches in height, with a warlike face, and a look as heroic as his soul, Rfter making some jesting remark to a brother aid, threw his elbow upon the hip of his steed, and casting his right leg over 'the animals - neck pre pared 'himself, to all appearances, for a quiet nap on horseback. Who on earth, are you I we said half doubting our eyesight. "What do you say?" inquired General Howard. "Who is that?" and we pointed to the figure that was basking in the sun shine. "'~'.y, that is Pierce Butler a descene of the old hero, General Andrew a ikens." Just then, Gen eral Hamilton resumed his position, and a moment afterwards the cav alry forming in open order, came charging down ion us ut a full run, waving their falchions and hur rahing. Our st.:ds began to caper; for they were evidently under conside rable apprehension of being deinolikh. e'l, when thie column divided and pas. sed t . the 'right and left.. As they swept by. with the -speed of Arab: in their flight, one of their beautiful ani nals tripped and. fell, breaking his neck instantly, and throwing his ri der against the steed in front. There was a cry among the staff-they rush ed to revive the fallen -soldier who was lying insensible on the ground and amid the confusion that ensued, we withdrew from the ground, and re turned to our hotel. We frequently met with Col. But ler after this review. He was a mem ber of the convention, but took no ac tive part in .the proceedings. And af ter the nullification conflict had rolled away, we still met him about Colum bia, And frequently at our ness-the glorious "salt water"-of which his brother, Judge Andrew Pickens Buit ler, was a merry member.

Pierce Butler was very tall, very martial in his look and bear ing-every inch a ,warrior-but gent erally. saturnimid and silent, or epe shig his opinions~ with sententious bre vity, and in the voice of a lion. We had a good chance of seeing and know ing him thorough!3', for after this peri od we were in the first Florida cam paign against the Seminole Indians, with the "left wing," of which Butler was 'one of thme dilieers, being Lieut. Coloniel of the amunted Riflemen of South Casolina, comm aanded by Col. Rlobert II. Goodwyn. When the cam paigni- was over-by the way he left us at Tampay Ilay, and returned hoame by way 6f Mobile-Butler quite popular; and on the expiration of Governor No ble's term, was elected clhe magis trate of South Carolina. The life'of-a Governor is too insignificant to re quire any particular illustration, and we shall.pass on to the Mexican war, first stating, however, that on the con clusion of his term of service as Gov ernor, he was appointed by the Pres ident one of tihe' Indian agents-of the '"Cherookees, 'we believe-and this office lhe continuaed to administer until he was elected Colonel of the Palmetto Regiment, when he hastened to assume the command and march for Mexico-Hobile Tribune.

Here were assembled i number of unfortunate sons and t laughters of Adam, whose intellectual faculties were diseased upon almost a 3very matter, save their duty to visit a the house'of God, and worship him in I spirit and in truth. As their pastor n proceeded in the exercises pertaining r to his office, they seemed to regard him i with peculiar affction. - We were struck with the melancholy exhibited i in the face of a female, and from the ervency with which she sang, and her a frequont sighs. we were under the in pression that it was a religious melan eholy preying upon her mind. We found Dr. Parker, the resident physici an and superintendent, at his post, and disposed to give us all the informa- t tion asked for. We trust that the State will always cherish and foster this noble institution." t A FORTUNE FOR SOMEDODT.-By the decease, without issue, of a certain Absolom Sharp,.late of Mississippi, a very large fortune has fallen to hiN brothers and sisters, or their %heirs, who are supposed to reside in Wes. s torn Pennsylvania.
