A RECENT SCENE ON TilE SO'JTII WESTERN
BORDER.
From our Correspondent in t'ie *f:r west.'
How varied are the trials of life?and
how differently are they borne by individuals?there
is scarcely a trouble that can
betid us in this chequered world, but by
looking upon the si tuition of our ti. How mortals,
we may see ihose who are worse oil*
than ourselves, and find in the fact some
exciting cause for chocking our murmurs?
promoting us to gratitude an I submission
to the will of our heavenly father, who docs
not willing]v atlliet iior grieve the children
O O
of men.
I visited a few days ago, a di.s'resscu
fi a.ly from 'i ex: s w.lio had been driven
from their home during die recent troubles
in tiiu: province.
Tiicy stated, that at the lit !? Village
where they had been lo?-t ed, tiiere eanie a
sadden rumor that W.V Mexican* and Indians
urre coming u[>on them." These appalling
tidings cause 1 tlicm quickly t? harness
up a small one horse cart, i.i which
*.ii< v has:i!y threw a few articles near at hand
and the man, placing his wife and three little
ones in it, married withull possible speed J
towards the bordt rs of the Sabine river.'
Mr -they reached the intended point the j
horse gave out, and they were compelled to
lenv.f what they could not conveniently carry
and oursue the rest ot 'heirjourney on foot.
^Vrj i palpitating hearts and exhausted
frames, they travelled on, hearing their little
ones wiih them?through one of the rough<
s pars of that d:s rict of country?and alter
crossing the Sabine, felt their minds I
somewhat relieved of !ear from the enemy.
T ie tender ages of the children, however,
was but illy sui ed to such a journey, and
tneir helplessness occasioned the terror
stricken parents the greatest solicitude on
I -?
their behalf?diey were several!}' ofihe ages
of 6 and 4 vears, an-J -1 rnonilis. There
were tliese helpless ones exposed to all the
chilling damps of night, and the poisonous
r-pules which so abound in his this region
?having only a blank**t to cover the earth,
which was their bed, an j another stretched
upon poles for their covering. The mother
t<x>, from her debilitated siute was unable
to furnishtiie- necessary sustenance provided
i?v nature, lor Ik infant. All these diflicnliies
must naturally have pressed upon
her heart, when she reflected upon the uni
f rtuinty of obtaining relief?and produced
iii the minds of the sorrowful pnren.s the
deepest solicitude.
Long and tedious was the journ-y they
travelled, yet they procec<h d on, til; they
ilnaliy ctune to a small log cahin which
s ood vacant in the midst of tSie fires', and
about one mile distant from Fort Jess;:p.?
Here, in this secluded spo*, tliey felt secure
from the murderous weapon, and hoped to
he able, by writing to their frienu's in Ala- '
?mil l, in obtain rn heft or their childivn. As
lor themselves, they were so complexly
worn out that they expcc'ed to die. beioro
iin answer could be received to ihe.r commuincation.
Here, fatigued and weary,
: u:y spread their blanket on the floor?thanklb!
fur a pi ace oi' security, and u shelter from
the stonn.
On entering the cabin, I found there a
soldier's wile, from the garrison, who had
been drawn thither by compassion, and who .
was engaged in shaking up a pallet of straw,

betimes, lying upon aquil*. Tlie husband,

scarcely able to do so; from his exposure
lie had taken a violent cold, which produced
bleeding from his lungs, and a cough so )
severe tiiat he could not lie down. The 1

of them were professing christians; the husband
readily answered, MOnlv her, she has

we have never heard a sermon, noi
scarcely seen a person calling himself t
christian.She seemed much delightet
with some reli'pous trarts that were giver
to her, and pi\ ssing them to her bosom
raised her eyes in gratitude to heaven. At
ter some timber satisfactory conversatior
with her, I bade lier farewell, intending tt
call and see her again.
Two days after tin's interview she breath

he might have made a princely fortune, bu

public services, he returned to private life

Brutal Mukder !?A correspondent o!
the Xewliern Sentinel gives an account o
a most brutal murder, on the 27th ult. com
mitted on Miss. Susan Jane Andrews,a respectable
young lady residing a few miles
from that place. She was returning home
from Newborn, where siie had been or:
business, when murdered. Her botlv was
found after two or three days search, buriei
in leaves and straw, her skull beaten in,
teeth knocked out, &c. Suspicion immeiately
fixed 011 a negro man as the murderer;
lie had been seen lurking about the road
during that day, but e'oped alter the unit
termg care mey wcr; soon 10 no u<'pnvcu.
A person going in by accident the day pre.
\ious found the little daughter, 0 years old,
endeavoring .o still tSie cries of the infau?, by
feeding it with a roasted potatoe, moistened
with the oil pressed from a piece of sal c d
pork. The babe was sent to the Fori, and
placed in charge of a careful woman.
Here was a heart inching scene; and
seating myself upon a low bench, by the
side of the sick woman, I made some enquiries
concerning her health &c. expressing
a wish to have them removed to a more
desirable place, where their comfort and
wants could be better attended to. Tiny
boih immediately r< plied: expressing their
thanks; saving they w ere very comfortable
7 # O t *
wlipp?? tlif-L- wi'Pf?t!?;i their wants were
few?and the man remarked, that his wife j
needed but a little attention, which he was !
unable to render her from his own feeble
state?but their two eldest were quite handy;
the little boy, said ho, brings us water, and
chips to kindle the lire, and our little girl
watches her mo1 hers wants, and takes care
of the baby. I remarked to them that I !
hoped they looked to Him, who is alone j
able to help efficiently in times of trouble?
and could impart such relief as was not in
the power of man to bestow. The poor ;
woman replied with fervor, (while the tears
gushed from the eyes of her husband,)?
"'Oli yes?I do entirely rely on His mercy,
and have from the first been enabled to cast
myself upon the arms of my Saviour. I
feel perfectly resigned to the will of God." j
In advising her to try and divest herself
of all undue anxiety she might feel in leaving
her children among strangers, and to ,
compose herselfas much as possible, for the'
trying hour that seemed approaching, she
looked calmly in my face, and with a placid
countenance, replied "I have no fear on the
subject, the same kind hand which has sus-;
tained me hitherto, I am convinced will pro- j
vide for mv children: I know fie will take

Stkikixo Fact.?A writer in the New i ^

| the whites are 2 1-2 per cent: among the free ) *
blacks 3 1-2 per cent; and among the slaves
1 JIU1 L L IU . (
To what is this great disparity owing J I
The proportion oi' deaths In every community ; t
. is greatest among the dissolute poor; because
from their dissipation, they are most subiectto
disease, and from their poverty and degrada- j <,
i tion they are most neglected in sickness. This j j
will account for the great proportion of deaths I ?
among the free blacks. The slaves are re- i i
i ? I
i strained by their masters from so much dissi. , t
! nation as to undermine their health ; and when 1 c
i . . I y
j sick they have all needtul attention from their :
| owners. Slaves do then suffer less from the 'J
worst and most fatal evils of poverty than any i1
| other class of labouring poor in the world.

The United States and Mexico.?The Phil.delphia
Daily Advertiser of Tuesday furnishes
lie following information:
"We understand that Mr. Gorostaza, the
dexican Minister, arrived at the mansion house
esterday from Washington. We are sorry to
mar, from a respectable source, that hisnegoiatiocwith
our Government have terminated
unsatisfactorily, and that he is preparing to
eturn home with his diplomatic family. This
rill be unwelcome news to the friends of peace,
nd to the* interests of this country.

A the recent fair of the American Institute
l New York among the novelties exhibited
ras a bunch of 600 onions which weighed 120
ounds.
r ' The^'following almost 'prophetic extract is
f; from the report made by Col. Benton in the
t U. S. Senate, in lb'JB on the subject otexecu
| tive patronage.
r ! ?i\V e must look forward to the time " says
the Colonel, 4*when the public revenue will be
i doubled ; when the civil and military officers
- ' of the Federal Government will be quadru'
pled ? when its influence over individuals will
I | be multiplied to an indefinite extent; when
3 the nomination by t1ie president can
i carry any man through the Senate, and
r j his recommendation can carry any mea
! sure through the two houses of CONgress
j when the principle of public ac1
tion will be open an avowed?the PresiI
' dent wants M Y rote, and I want his patronage.
i I will vote as he wishes, and he will give me
\ the Ojjice I wish for. What will this be
' | bct^the governkent . of "oke j man, but a
: monarchy? Names are nothing. The na
jtureofa thing is in its substance, and the
I name soon accommodates itself to the substance."
If Senator Benton had written this para'
graph in 1836 instead of 1829, he coald not
have drawn a more graphic sketch of tilings
as they are. nor addressed the people in a more
emphatic voice of warning. The thiugs pre'
dieted have come to pass; and if the People
,r now elect the IVcsident's nominated successor
, the picture will be complete of a Repubic in
I name, but a Monarchy in truth! 'A
Lynchburg Virginian.
1 Philadelphia.?We understand that capitalists
from the .North East have given three
hundred thousand dollars for the eighty acres
| called^Greenhill, lying on the Ridge Boad,
I Broad street, and Poplar Lane, between the
House of Refuge and the Girard College?and
; | that it is the design of the purchasers to" lay
' off the ground in squares, of which there is
! ground anougli for about fourteen, with wide
streets to communicate with the newhvenues
to be opened. It is wonderful that our own
; , citizens have suffered this design to be undertaken
by strangers, for there can be no doubt
ofitssucces, with great profit to all concerned.
Will we never learn that it is uo longer nei
cessary to build and live all huddled together,
j where ground is a thousand dollars a foot, in!
stead of going a mile or two off where it costs not
I the one hundredth part of that outlay? An
i 1 omnibus or two will bring Greeuhill as near
: the Exchange as need be for any calling, and
i ; all those who look ahead mast see, that by set'
i tling at some little distance, their property, by
imperceptible but certain enhancement, grows
! ' like the corn every day, so as to make a great
[ j gain in a few years.
They understand this so well in New York,
' ! that six miles from Wall stieef,bv water as
' , well as by land, is found near enough to be
j there every day as if living in Wall street it
i self. The environs of Philadelphia are so
; superior for sucli improvements that it is short,
! sighted not to realize them,?A:n.

j " Since I have been here I have seen much
1 misery and much of human suffering. The
