and then insisted upon his discharge, because

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
The Boston Mercantile Journal gives!
the following remarkable ease of murder)
and conviction of an innocent person, as
illustrating the uncertainty of circumstantial
evidence;
A negro who run away from his master;
in South Carolina, arrived in London inj
an American ship. Soon after he landed,
lie got acquainted with a poor laundress
in wapping who washed his linen. This)
poor woman usually wore two gold rings'
on one of her lingers; and it was said that
she had saved a little money, which induced
this wretch to conceive the design
of murdering her and takinc hnr nronnrtv. I
? - o i' " " r * 'J
She was a widow, and lived in an humble 1
dwelling with her nephew. One night
her nephew canic home much intoxicated
and was put to bed. The negro, who was
aware of the circumstance, thoguht this
would be a favorable opportunity for exe- 1
cuting his .bloody design. Accordingly, 1
he climbed to the apartment of the lau- 1
dross, whom he murdered?not until after '
a soverc struggle, the noise of which awoke '
her drunken nephew in the adjoing room <
who got up hastened to the rescue of his i
aunt.
In the meantime the villain had cutoff ]
the finger with the rings?but before lie '
could escape ho was grappled with by the 1
nephew, who being a very powerful man, i
though much intoxicated very nearly over- '
. powered him, when by the light of the
moon, which shown through the window
he discovered the complexion of the vilJian,
whom having seldom seen a negro,
be took for the devil.
The murderer then disengaged himself:
from jhe* grasp of the nephew, and snc<
eeeded in tqiklog his escape through the
chimney. Bui the nephew believed, and
ever after declared, that it was the devil
wiih whom he had straggled, and who had
suddenly flown into the air and disappear*
ed. The negro ir the course of the struggle
had besmeared the young jnan's shirt
in many places, with the blood of hit vietim?and
this joined with other .circumstances,
induced his neighbors to consider
the nephew as the murderer of his
aunt, Ho was arrested, examined and
committed to prison?though he persisted
in asserting his innocence, and told his
story of the midnight visiter, which appeared
not only improblc, but ridiculous
ill the extreme, lie was tried, convicted
nnd executed?protest to the last his total
ignorance of the murder, and throwing it

The "real murder was not suspected,
and returned to America with his booty?
but after a wretched existence of ten years,
on his death bed confessed the murder,
and related the particulars attending it.

FOR THE COURIER.
Tlie Bank of tlie United States.
It may bo well, while the country is yot suffering
from tlio commercial disastors of tlio past season,
and observant uion are anticipating a renowod, and
perhaps, more distressing dorangomcnt of trade, to
look for a moment at tho position and purposos of
the Pcnnsylvauia llauk of tho United States. Remoto
as wo arc from its "immediate action, our inter*
0
est.3 arc not frco from its influence; and in one
rospect, at least, individuals among us, may becomo
sufferers from its policy.
That Institution, it will be rocollcctcd, is iotally
distinct, in legal contemplation, from the Bank of the
United States chartered by Congress, the charter of
which expires on 4th March next. Whatever
advantages of credit and rosourccs the present Bank
may derivo from the command of the debt9 duo tlie
old Bank, secured to it by tho identity of their Stock,
holders, it must be rcinemborod that the new corporation
is not, directly atloust, responsible for tho debts
of the old. The new Bonk is not bound to redeem
tho Bills of the old. Thoy can bo demanded only of
the Trustoos of tho latter; a body wholly distinct fi om
the Direction of tho former. Yot those Bills have
been issued to an immense amount by tho new Bank,
while the circulation of its own paper has boon studiously
restricted. No one can for a moment mistako
tho policy of this measuro. Mr. Biddle, Trustee
under tho charter of Congress, may, by a single stroko
of his pen, transfer to Mr. Biddi.k, Prosidont undor
th6 authority of Pennsylvania, millions of tho
notes of tiro old Bank; and may acquire vast^ power
and rosourcos in the papor of the good people of the
United States and the Bills of local Banks, in cxcliango
for the Bills of a dead Institution which the
prosont Bank is not bound to rcdocm. If borrowers
will givo thoir own notes for Bills which tho lendor
is not bound to rodeom. nor cvon to rccoivo in paymont
of tho very debts so contracted, the power of
the Bank maybe indefinitely increased in the country
subject to the direct action of tho parent Institution,
or of the branches which it may acquire, without an
iunroaao of *io vmi duvvt loapiruaiUilltiCS tO tllO
amount of ono dollar. If tho holdors of the paper
of other Banks will exchange it for Bills which bavo
heretofore served the purpose of a general currency,
but the use of which for that purpose cannot, now logaily,
and should not financially, bo permitted, Mr Biddle
may, to an unlimited extent, accumulato tho Bills
of the Stato Institutions, and exercise on indirect but
powerful control over every soction of country,-the
currency of which ho can thus bring within his grasp,
lu such oporations tho only efficient check on his
Bank,disoct responsibility for tho Bills wliieli it issues,
Is wholly eluded. For tho good notes of individuals
and tho Bills of local Banks, ho may well afford to
give the paper of an Institution whoso charter has
oxpirod; whoso paper ho is not bound to redeem or receive
in payment of debts; and whoso responsibilities
can only be enforced by todious and perplexing process
of law.
It is important that thoso viows should bo enforced
on tho public mind; but it is not my purpose to cntor
at largo into thoir consideration. I moan to call attention
to tho subjoct in a subordinate and less im
purioiu poini oi view; but one winch may more im
mediately affect the. intorosts of individuals among
us; and to suggost a fow facts which may perhaps
undeccivo tlio confiding, and save tho unwary from
perplexity and loss.
Tho only purpose for which, in this section of
country, tho Bills of the Bank of the United States
are generally sought, is to remit to tho North when
funds arc wanted there. But as long sinco as the
last summer, the Bills of the old Bank of the Unitod
States wore bolow par in New York, the great point
to which our remittances are diroctod. Thoy could
then bo purchased there at a discount of ono per con.
turn. Thoy aro now still further depreciated. The
oxchango between Now York end Philadelphia, but a
day's journey apart, is at this time two per centum
against the latter. It is evident therefore, that tho
notos of the old Bank of the United States (and none
of tho new Bank, I boliove, have evor been bocn
scon anions us) will not sorve the mimosa of mm it
tanco to Now York. He who purchasos them hore,
paying a premium, must submit to a socond loss in
Now York, boforo he can dorivo tho boncfit of his
investment, in that city. Such is not generally un. ,
rtcrstood to bo the case; but such is the necessary
consoqucnco of tho irredeemable nature of those Bills
by tho Bank now issuing thorn, and tho heavy balance
due by Philadelphia to New York. No prudent man
will, under such circumstances, remit in paper already
below par, and subject daily to further doprcciaion.
Into tho ultorior purposes of Mr. Diddle in flooding
parts of the country rcmoto from liis Institution
with Bills which impoee no direct responsibility on
bis Dank, and which tlicre is strong reason to appro,
bond will not bo spoodily redeemed by him as Trus. J
too of tho old Dank, I do not mean further to enquire.
My object is simply to call the attention of those in- j
tcrostod to the fact, that those Bills will not serve tho 1
purpose for which alone thoy purchase them at a pre- '
mium, namely, for remittance to New York, whore (
thoy are available only at a discount; end tA Cafution
thorn against transactions wliicli, while they most If
attended with km to ttane^lves individually, will

SOUTHERN L1TERRARY MESSENGER FOR
FEBRUARY.
It isrcally refreshing, amid the profusion of trash
with which the press is teeming, to meet with a
number of the above periodical. We are always
sure of something worthy oar national character and
name. Wo never fail, moreover, to observe this
feature?to wit: that while many of our monthlios,
which stand highest in public estimation, arc exhibiting
a constant fallicg off from their original oxccllonce;
the merits of the Mossongof aro as constantly
ou tho increase. This we have noticed for a long
timo?every number has boon better than its predo.
cesser; and wo can say with confidence, that tho
ono now under rovicw, is tho best that has yet ap.
pjured.
The leading article is a M Biography of tho lato
Hon. Dabncy Carr, one of tho Judgosof the Virginia
Court of Appeals.** Wo cannot too much
admire tho practice of thus giving public virtues and
private worth, a " local habitation.** which all may
entor and Larn to go and be likewiso. Our Biographioal
calendar is so fillod up with tho names of thoso
who havo boon groat, liko Ctcsar, or Napoleon, that
wo can seldom find models by wliich to mould our
bottor nature. Domostie virtues?fireside worth?
conjugal devotion?parental fondness?aro all tooj
much overlooked in our ostimatcs of human excel-'
lonco. Thoso who wish to sco all thoso combined
with the firmness of tho Judgo and the orudition of ;
tho scholar, will do well to procuro tho Biography in j
question. * |
?mis' rooms?nro rcvicwod with tlie apprccia-1
ting spirit always displayed by the Messenger, to-,
ward Northern talont. Wo prcsumo ho has had
it from a dozen different sources, already, that the
strictures on ono of them, 44 Tho burial of Arnold,"
are all founded in mistake. Tho piocc refers to a
member of tho Sonior Class of Yale Collogo, who
died in about 182C,?and who resembled the archtraitor
in nothing but his name. Mr. Willis is not
our chief favorite among the American poets, yet
in spito of his 44 alabaster necks," waxon fingers,"
cant about * April violots," and beautiful nonsense;
ho has written several splendid pieces. The articlo
in quostion is one of them, and we are sure the
Messenger will tako tho first opportunity of obliterating
tho falso impression that has been created in regard
to it.
"Lord Bacon, part II." Another masterly paper,
collated frrtn the Edinburg Review. Part I., gave
his biography. Part II. refers to his character and
writings, and contrasts the glorious fruits of tho latter
with the barren beauty of the Ancient philosopliy.
44 American Literature." The author's name is a
sufficient criticism on this articlo?Professor Tucker,
of tho University of Virginia.
44 Journal of a trip to the Virginia Mountains, &c."
is the first chanter of wlmt iw% ? '?. *
ly series.
" The Governess'," by tho authoress of tho
"Curse." Wo apprehend a littlo diversity among
the critics as to this piece. Those whoso fancy is
not to bo tickled by any tiling but " guns, drums,
trumpots, blundcrsbuss and thunder," may turn from
u ao liut. ?nr <"*>oa]vQR. wllO like a
story none tlio loss for depicting our every day liio,
we think it tjio host of its kind, wo havo soon in a
long time.
"Tho far Wost, &,c." by Washington living, is
ably reviewed by a Virginian.
The Deserter" is concluded in the present number,
and realises the expectations warranted by the perusal
of its previous chaplors.
Tho Truce Ground" is the commencement of a
rouolutionary Tale; tho scene of which is laid in our
own part of the country, What we havo be ford us,
evinces considerable talent.
"The Utility of Astronomy" displays much research,
but wo fear would not prove tho Utility of
Astronomy to one inclined to be skeptical on the subjoct.
Something on Sonnets," is a vindication of son.
notizing, and prosonts some choice gems writton in
this form, by Milton, and others.
"Sliakspeare and tlio Critics," is a successful attempt
to snuff out some " new lights" which have
boon recently started, on the text of Sliakspeare.
Poor Sliakspeare! what an emphasis of immortality
must bo his portion, since the changing a comma to
a semicolon, of an and into an aye, or tho elimination
of a vowel, is sufficient to warrant the hojio of
immortality in his commentators!
" The Lyccqm, No. VI." gives 113 somo rules for
conversation by Gullivor tho youngor?wo are much
obliged to tho gontleinan.
Wo have thus commented hastily on the principal
prose articles in the prcsont uumber of tho I\lesson ,
gor. It contains also several poetical pieces, to
which wo would advert singly, but we fear wo have
already taken up too much space. Our objoct has
not been to give any adoquitc idea of its merits?for
this would bo impossible in tho narrow limits which
wo havo prescribed to ourselves?but ratlior to call
tho attention of our citizens to a work so well doserving
their patronage. In our papors from tho
oast, woat, north and south, wo meet with ah unanimous
tribute to its worth. Yet it must stand or fall
by Southern patronage, and in ycilding it an adequate
support, the South na less encourages its enterprising
Editor, than it does honor to itself. It is

CAMDEN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1633.
Wo would call tl^ atttenUftn of our readers to tlio
article in our column* on the Bank of the U. States.
It contains facts which it may concern them to know.
Tuf Abolition Question in Senatcof the U S? |
Months have boon consumed by tliis branch of our
national legislature in dobates, trivial and worso than
useless. Four of tho memorable sorics of noisy re- (
solutions introduced by Mr. Calhoun, havo boon
passed; and others substituted by Mr. Clay, have
mot tho approbation of tho Sente. In whatever light
wo view those resolutions, \Vo are inclined to bolievo
that nojgood has arisen, or could bo expected to ariso
from their agitation. If tho common good of tho
country was the voritablo end which they had in view,
they have surely come short of tlieir purpose. From
a warfare of petulant words induced by their consideration
and tho collision of anirrv feelimr coiiMnumt
thereon, tho Republic, evidently,bos received no good.
True, wo havo been warned of danger to the Union,
by tho6e who have of late become strangely, but professedly
attached to its existence, and told that measures
of this sort would be tho only proper and adequate
means to insure Its preservation. In this, however,
wo can hardly boliovo them to bo in earnest; fur
how can thoy oxpect that wrangling, agitation and
discord can quiet national disturbance, or avort
the catastrophe, which tlrey pretend to deprecate??
For ourselves, wo do not as yet despair of tho Republic,
nor beliovo our affairs altogether dospcratc. Ifj
we must bo broken up, if tho confederacy must be i
dissolved, wc bclicvo that a class fur less insignificant
but no less criminal than tho deluded Abolitionists,
will cause the event*
Nor do wc beliovo that the South has been a party
to any beneficial results which may have flowed from
tlioso resolutions. Ilavo we gained an accession of
strength, or havo our adversaries bcon wcakoncd??
An allirmativo response would more likely bo elicited
! by tho convcrso of this question.
Ar the peoplo of the slavcholding States have
j nothing to fear from Congress but positivo legislative
l action, so they need not its warning to excite thorn
to watchfulness. Nothing there said, can arsimilato
their opinions, or unilo their feelings more closely
than their own interest in a matter which so immediate
ly concerns them.
t- . .5 1 --?* *
, 11 hiii wc nuvo suiioreu an indignity by allowing
: ourselves lo bo arraigned beforo an improper tribunal,
| and by subjecting our rights to incompetent jurisdiction.
Congress is not tho place to which wc should
refer tho arbitriinent of this question invoh ing so
many consequences. Wo should ask in this matter
an acknowledgment of no principles, an expression
of no opinions; for wc desire not to strengthen our;
selves by the mere force of opinions. Wo hold our
rights by no such uncertain tonuro. Wc rely upon tho
constitution, which we bolicvc nblo to protect us. If,
| however, misrule should doprive us of its efficacy,
I and tho shaftsof fauatisin pierce through our slnold,
wo would, in a casualty so calamitous.and deplorable
; look for support not to inefficient resolves, but to our
own strength, with providenco our guide.
The speech of Mr. Calhoun, on tho Indcpondont
Treasury Bill of tho Financo Committee, and Mr.
. Rives' substitute, is - represented as being the most
splendid, powerful, and intellectual effort of his life.
I Tliu Gtblhn remarks: "It requires a great mind and
j a good cause to produce the impression which Mr.
| Calhoun made on all around hinf. On former oc'
casions, tho extraordinary offorts of Mr. Caliioun
I woro tiiosc of "a strong man in a morass." He is
| now on firm ground, and no mun can cover more of
it at a singlo bound or repeat his flight with groator
rapidity, than Mr. Calhoun. His great faculty is
generalization?simplifying argument into tho clearest
axiom b.
We consider his speech as decisive of the question.
Mr Rivk8' substitute is annihilated."
