A breathing spell will no doubt be given.
But the friends of the enterprise are sanguine

last, to greet mis cuteoraieu traveller anci ,
accomp ished lec!urer. Nearly all thn i
world, that is nearly all the microcosom of
Charleston, wastnere youth and age, man. j
hood's pride and woman's loveliness, the
sober student and the sprig of fashiqn, the |
blue-stocking and the belle, pastor and people,
lawyer and client, doctor and patient,
teacher and pupil, of both the Sabbath
school and the Academy, the grave the
gay, the lively and severe, all gathered to
the intellectual repast ; and richly were
rewarded as they hung in delighted and flattering
attention on the brilliant narration,
the beautiful description, the striking illustration
of Scriptural truth, the tich treasury
of novel and interesting information and ;
which flowed in eloquent discourse from !
the lips of travelled experience. We have j
never met with a lecturer with whom we
have been more charmed than with Mr.
Buckingham. His appearance is dignified
prepossessing ; his manner easy and unaffected.
With enunciation clear and distinct,
he clothes his fine thoughts in chaste
and beautiful language, unbroken in its
musical flow, and equally conspicuous for
unstudied case and grace; end, without
the slightest appearaneeof effirr, the commonest
topics, incident to the exigencies, of
his lecture, a?-e wrapped in attractive and
unexpected elegance of drapery.?Charleston
Courier.
Sully's Picture of Queen Victoria.?It
will be in the recollection of all, that Mr,
Sully recently returned from England,
whither he had repaired, at the instance of
the St. George's Society of Philadelphia, to
Daint the fair vountr Queen of the Oecean
i * f
Isles. Tiie compensation not being ade.
quale to defray the expense, the artist determmed
upon exhibiting the picture before
parting with it. To this the Society objected.
lie persevered, tiil lie was enjoined
from his course by the mandate of a cour.
We are pleased to learn that the diflicuhy
has been arranged by the parties by a compromise,
the result of which will be that
the picture will be exhibited in Philadelphia
aad this city, for the mutual benefit of the
artist and the Society. We sincerely hope
that the former may receive rich emoluments
for this admired production of h:s j
genius, and congratulate our citizens upon
the opportunity i hey will soon enjoy to study !
the features of Victoria, on a grander scale
than they have yet seen in this c untrv.?
N. Y. Spt. of the Times.
Origin of Telegraphic Languuge?Aga.
mcmnen promised Clytemnestra mat me
very day Troy was taken lie would give
notice of the event hy Tiers. JEschylus,
trie poet, has recorded in one of his tragedies
the fact that he kept his word, for a
female sentinel declares that she spent
many weary nights before the blaze was
discovered. The Gauls made known the
massacre of the Romans, in the lifetime of
Caesar, in the new ci y of Gideons, which
took place at sunrise, as far as Auvergne
hy nine o'clock in the evening, the distance
being one hundred and twenty miles, by
shouting from one post to another.
Antiquityof Lxlhontrity.?This celebrated
operation, which consists in breaking up
the stone in the bladder, and which has
claimed as a modern invention, is shown
to be of very ancient date. As early
as the eleventh century, says the Editor of
the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal,
this operation was performed by the Arabians,
by a process and insfi ument very
similar to those used at the present day.
The celebrated Albucassem gives a parti,
cular description as practised by himself,
FRANKNESS.
Be frank with the world. Frank it is
the child of honesty and courage. Say just
what yoa mean to do, upon every occasion
?taking it for granted that you mean to
do whafis right. If a friend ask a favor,
you should grant it if reasonable ; if it is
not, plainly tell him why you cannot. You
will w rong yourself and wrong h/m by equi.
vocation of any kind. Never do a wrong
thing to make a friend or to keep one; the
man that requires you do so is dcar!^ pur.
chased at such a sacrifice. Deal kindly,
but firmly, with all men; you will find it
the policy which wears best. There is
no more dangerous experiment, than that
of undertaking to be one tiling at a man's
face, and another thing behind his back. If
the very consciousness of such duplicity
does not degrade you in your own eyes,
you must be lost to every noble feeling of
our nature. Wc should live and act, and
4 speak out of doors,' as the saying is, and
say and do what we are willing to be read j
and known of all men. It is not only best'
as a matter of principle, but a matter of I
policy.
The " Pea Patch.*'?Tdiis little spot of
earth showing itself in the river Delaware,
some thirty miles below Philadelphia, and
which ha9 been the subject of individual
-
and state contention tor some twenty years,
* has finally been awarded to an individual
claimant, and has passed into his legal &
actual possession, by due course of law. In
the meantime, however, the United States,
having what was supposed to be a valid
title to the Island from the State of Delaware,
proceeded to convert into a fortifica.
t-'on* and hive cxpend?d of
money upon it. These are all now passed
overtotiie individual owning the Island;
and the consequence is, that the United j
States must purchase tho individual title j
to the Island in order to g?t back their 1
property. The Presinent has called the attention
of Congress to the subject.
An Arrest?Afact.-Some yeaRsago, <
in a county not a hundred miles from Ad- '
ams, a small sized man went to the plan- ! (
tation of a gentleman who was light in wit j
but ra tiier heavy in flesh with a piece of pa- j'
per in his hand folded in a legale form, arm ; j
known hv the .abbreviations of 4,on sa." j <
Having found the owner of the plantation in ;}
the field, lie explained his business, when ;
he was requested to read tne capias, which 1
commenced as usual?" You are hereby j'
commanded without delay, to take the body | i
of &<\

himself upon his back. 41 ain ready.1

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1839. j
i
We have copied at length into the preced- i
ing columns the remasks of Messrs. Brown
and Strange and those of A/r. Clay in t?ie U.
S* Senate, on the occasion of presenting to
that body the resolutions of the North Caroli- :
na Legislature. The quibble resorted to by l
Messrs Brown and Strange to evade a conformity
to principles openly avowed by thera elves,
and a compliance with the expressed
will of bodies which they consider their consti- ;
! tuents, can do them no creditin the estimation !
, upright and honorable men. They both hold
| a Senator bound by the will of his state Legisi
lature; but when tho Legislature of their State j
| plainly expresses its will, for the well known j
| purpose of influencing litem, they disregard it, j
I bccausOj forsooth the word instruct is not j
j used !
I We do not ourselves subscribe to the doc- i
| trine that a Senator in Congress is bound by 1
j any instructions of the Legis'ature of his state,
1 who are no more his constituents than the :
Electors of President, or the House of Repre. i
sentatives when it chooses that officer, are his '
i constituents. In both cases the electors are 1
the agents of the people. When their ballots j
have been deposited, their functions quoad hoc, j
cease. The people commission the members !
of their State Legislatures, among other things, j
[ to elect U. S. Senators, but not to instruct, or
displace them, a power which in express words
j they have seen fit, in their wisdom, to deny
i themselves. Under the Articles of Confedcra- !
I tion, which were superceded by our present
! constitution,'every State Legislature had the
! power to recal, at pleasure, the repr?6enta- j
' tivesofthe state in Congress; which was tan- ;
' tamount to the present doctrine avowed by
! many and practiced by few, that a Senator
j must "obey or resign" when "instructed by the
I Legislature of his state. But the wise fraro|
ers of our constitution, and the people who
! adopted their work, satisfied by experience of
| the impolicy o f such a prevision in their form
of government, not only excluded it from the
new constitution,?but in order to give greater
stability of character to Congress, and especially
to the Senate, by rendering it independent
of any temporary fluctuations in popular
opinion, made express provision that the members
of this body should bold their places for the
I term of 6ix years. The attempts sometimes j
! made to subvert or evade this very important!
; provision of the constitution by introducing the !
doctrine of instruction we think is generally to i
be ascribed to a love not so much of the people,,
as of the offices in the gift of the people.? j
i The innovators kiss to betray. Our objection j
I is not to tbe refusal of Messrs. Brown and
j Strange "to obey or resig*" but to their acting I
! the demagogue in assigning such reason as :
! they do for this refusal.
I Congress.?The bill for graduating the pub- j
| lie lands has finally passed the Senate by a j
i vote of 27 to 22. Mr. Clay of Kentucky was
! the leading opponent of the bill throughout its
i progress. Mr- Calhoun and Mr. Preston also
made speeches against it. Mr. Calhoun apprehending
difficulties on the suhject of the
jublic lauds as soon as the Western States
| should have the ascendency in Congress,which j
he said would be the case after the census of j
1850, was for ceding them on equitablo terms
to the States within which they he, and promised
to introduce a bill for that purpose at
the commencement of next session.
i In the House of Representatives a motion
l to raise by ballot a committee to enquire into
| the defalcation of Mr. Swarlout, gave rise to
J a debate which lasted several days. All
j professed a willingness to have an investiga-j
j tio? of the matter; but the leading friends of i
the administration insisted that the commit-j
tee for that purpose should dq appointed ov
the Chair in the usual way. The mode cf
appointment by ballot finally prevailed, and
and after a few ballotings the committee, con- j
sisting of nine was filled. Three or four of!
those first elected asked, for special reasons, 1
to be excused, which was done. Among these
was Mr. Elmore of this State, who assigned as !
a reason among others that he seemed to ,
have been elected as an administration man
to represent the administration on the com- ;
mittee. But he said that he 'could not-' in *a
proper sense be considered an administration :
man, although lie gav h:g siinrert to its;
leading
The committe as finally settled are Messrs
Harlan, Curtis, Wise, Dawson, Smith, Hop
kins, Owens, Foster, and Wagener. Thej
have gone onto New York to make the investigation
with which they are charged.

We lately received a letter from the Editc
of a paper in an adjoining state, cautioning i
against the employment of an apprentice wh

to. as an aDDrentice (according to our undei
~ * i * X ?r
Handing of the application) but not havin
need for his services we declined receivin
him without any inquiry into his history. W
have for some time made it#a rule, and we b(
lievc most if not all publishers at the South d
so now, to employ no hands in our office witl
out satisfactory evidence that they served
regular apprenticeship, or left their mast<
with his free consent. A publisher who dot
otherwise justly forfeits all courtesy from cor
temporaries.

This is the third College of the same name, i

of Congiess, and a few items of news of ?

had been occasioned by an attack made if

This Dr. Smith, we believe, formerly resided
in Salisbury N. C. where he was recruited
into the Texan service, two or three years

On the evening of 16th inst. Mr.

- by the fire, where be found Mr. Thomas
h II. Christmas of this County. Mr. Christmas
being in a state of intoxication, immediately
commmenced abusing Mr. Davis,
k and in a little while drew a pistol and shot
him in the side. Davis lived but a few
d moments afterwards. We have understood
d that the deceased offered no violence to 1
e Christmas, nor said any thing more than
simply to deny that he had been engaged
in talking about Christmas, in the manner
which Christmas alleged. Chris'mas has
?- been taken and is now in jail. We forbear
n further comment as the matter is to underi.
go a judicial investigation. We cannot
e however, forbear to remark that Mr. Davis

j man, and a useful member of Socisty.

The Salem Register publishes the particulars
of a horrible outrage committed by
c the Malays of Sumatra, upon the ship
Eclipse of that port. The Eclipse was
p"1 engaged in the pepper trade, in the pursuit
e j of which, on the 22d August,she arrived at
ig {Tra Bangum, on the coast of Sumatra,
'e :7he business of loading the ship with pep>.
; per was continued several days ; the chief
lo 1 mate and four men were on shore superinj.
: tending the weighing of the article, and the
a Malays were allowed to go on board, which
?r j they did on the 26th Aug., to the number
i of eleven, carrying bags of pepper. While
those on board were employed in weighing
; if. the Malays made an attack upon them,
: killing a young man named Babbage, and
j wounding tht 2d mate. The Captain, C.
.' j F. Wilk ins, was io the meantime stabbed
I in the cabin by some of the pirates, whom
,e* j he had invited to sup with him. The Mam
j lays then proceeded to plunder the ship of
ld ! specie and valuable goods to the amount of
! about $30,000 with which they made off,
, | and returned no more. It appears that
"; the authorities of the region had no connecir

VOLUME IV FC(R 1839*
Published, at Rochester New- York by.
Luther Tucker.
THE larjje c rculatien of thi? paper baa
made it extensively known aa a depos- ,
itory of the most valuable facta connected witb
:he science or practice of Agriculture; and the
:ordial and increasing favor with which it has
jecn received, furnishes the best evidence that
:ts merits and the exertion of both publisher and
conductors to deserve the confidence and support
of the public, are properly understood and
ippreciatcd. This confidence and support, it is
trusted, for the future, will be equally deserved
and bestowed.
The Monthly Genesee Farmer is devoted to
the advancement of agriculture and horticulture
to the interest of the fanner and gardener t to
the producers of grain, fruit and vegetables.?
There is scarce a subject connected with these
various interests, on which the Fanner will no
contain papers illustrating their utility and
relative importance; pointing out the best meth.
ode of cultivation; and the modes by which the
propagation and success of trees, plants and
fruits may be secured ; and all this mostly from
actual experience. In short, it tt intended that
the Farmer shall continue to be a repository of
papers, communicated and selected, on all the
groat topics that interest the cultivator of the
soil, or can add to his wealth, improvement cr
comfort. " ' '
Terms.?It is belcivedto be the cheapest publication,
for the amount pf reading it gives, in
this or anv other country.r Each nnmber conlists
of 16 large pages double quarto form. The
price to single Subscribers, Firry Cents. Any
gentleman sending us $5, free of expense, will
be entitled to aleven copies.
