CAMDEN COURIER. CAMDEN, SATURDAY, APRIL 31, 1838. During the absonoo of the Editor, we liuvo boon requosted to toko charge of his departuiont. Our Boundary Lines.?Theso linos arc giving us a great deal of difficulty. Not only arc wc undor much ombarrassmont with regard to our North.oast era boundary, but Texas has put in hor claim for two counties of Arkansas, Fayctto and Millar, and has estabilshcd land offices thcro. The people- side with Texas, and have olectcd representatives to tlio Toxian Congress, organised counties, oloctcd county officers, &c. We do not prctcud to be skilled in the morits of tho case, but infer front all accounts, that some part of one of tho counties in quostion may possibly, in the end, be found belonging to Texas. But this is no cxcuso for her hasty measures, and that of the people of tho counties in question. Even if the coso was a clear one, and her claims fully acknowledged, it would havo boon mora decorous to communicate with our Government officially, beforo making the "seizure;" specially since it has bcon so long under our jurisdiction. The Governor of Arkansas promises to consult speedily with tho President of the United States, and to procuro if possible, an early and definitive adjustment of the difficulty. The Lcfrifil&tum of that Slntn linn not vr?t nclml nil thr? subject. Daxibi. 0'Conxf.ll.?We shall novcr feol satisfied that this gentlomori lias his duo, until we hoar of his having exchanged his scat in the House of Commons for a scat in the pillory. Nevertheless, it is gratify, ing to learn that his audacity has received a preliminary check, and wo must have faitli that the after, part will bo forth coming. Sometime ago, the same demoniac spirit that prompted him to denounce the good people of America as a set of cut-throats, led him to cast a foul imputation upon.sundry members of the House of fiords. That body, mindful of its dignity, summoned him to receive a public roprimand, on tho 2oi.h February. The house was crowded to overflowing, and intenso interest manifested. Tho only fault wo have to find with tho reprimand is, that it was by far too mild. It reminds us of an affair that once took place at some ono of our colleges. An unlucky student had been caught in tho act of robbing a hen-roost. The Faculty deter, mined on a public reprimand, and a vory polilo i* i n * rrcncnman (_viic prou ssor 01 languages) was apjiointcd to deliver it. Tao poor student was drag, god up on the sot day, nndtlic faculty robed in their gowns, and the students in their sympathies, wore congregated in the great hall. Tho littles Frenchman rose, and,'with tho utmost grace, pro needed to discharge his duty. "Monsieur Smcct; de Fakoulty appoint inc for rcprecmand voo; voo is dorcforc rcprcemand by me." SovTiir.aN Literary Mks.iexger.?The April number of this sterling periodical is !>oforo us. We have no timo to give a detail of its contents or a regular description of their character, save that they generally, display the ability always manifested by its contributors. The leading article is a spirited de. fence of Thomas Jefferson, from an illiberal attack of the New York Review, and nblj* vindicates the character of tho departed patriot. It. is introduced by some vorv able, but loo apologetic editorial re. marks. It is a common raying that the pages of a Literary Journal should bo free as air; so we think, and wo dcprccitc the hour when a contrary opinion shall possess the public mind. Literature is, after all, the palladium of liberty of thought. Party rage and prejudice may destroy it in politics, but so :ong as ijiicruiure isacpi ircc irom political umuences, it will not lack a resting place. May Heaven forcfend tho time when our pcriodi. eal press shall be, like that of England, under the guidance of part)" loaders, and ranged under politi. o il banners. But wo aro forgetting ourselves. We havo not time as we said before, to notice each of the articles in the prcsont number, but mubt be content with remarking that when the North can display a periodical equal to the Messenger, tho South may possibly see the necessity of delivering itself from tho charge of being the FJceotia of America. Tuf. Fixe Arts.?We havo lately had the pleasure of examining soino beautiful specimens of miniaturo painting by Mr. Alexander, of this placo. For delicacy of finish and accuracy of expression, many of thcrn will bear comparison with tho pro ductions of much oldor artists than the gentleman in question. Wo hope ho will persevere, and in tho event of his doing so, flattor oursolvos that Camdon will not bo without a representative in tho Temple of Art. u A hard case" (sure enough) "I am about to quit business :u DuBuquc. 1 hnvc been in it over two years and have not made salt to my porridge. To those of my friends who have been indebted to me sin-e I started, I would say, that I know it is rnonst:ous hard that I should ask them to pay me so soon, but the fact is, I want money and must have it, as neither my creditors nor myself can live on barnacles and bottles of smoke. ?Iowa News. GEO. NIGHTINGALE." Protty good Mr. Nightingale ! Wo have not had so truth-speaking a comment on tho times and uch a melodious protest against them, for many a day. There's nothing liko keeping in a good humor, oven amid a "peek of troubles" to put us in a bad 0110, and wo doubt not that Mr. Nightingale's unvarnishod plea will havo more effect upon his iron, hearted debtors, than a logion of constables, with as many writs in each of their pockets. But how did fllich a "hnrd e.nne" nc liiu nvi>r enrnn In nnu nmnm. ? I ""'""fe the lead inineH of Wisconsin ? By all recent accounts we havo been led to mako that country our El-dorado, and have actually entertained the idea of removing to it with our wife, (i. c. when wo got one,) aud our "little responsibilities" (i c. when we incur them.) But really, when reading of the delicious prairic.lion, the clouds of ducks and wild turkeys, a hundred bushels of potatoes to tho aero when hood onco, fifty bushols when not hoed at all, and twenty-fivo bushels whon ncithor hood nor planted, wo have promised our palates something more sub. stantiaj than "barnacles and bottlrs of smoke," and our labor*, a return of something mora tLan "aalt to our porridgo.H How is it that Mr. Nightingale does not toko to planting crow-bars ? Or has tho land got so poor, that that kind of aeod has ceased to sprout ton-penny nails? Why docs ho not turn umbrella maker, and plant whale-hone! Or docs whale-bone no longer yield parasols? Will the Iowa News, from which we cut his plaintive advertisement please to inform us? Washington Irving.?Our exchange papers are in high glee at tho nomination of this gentleman for tho Mayoralty of New York. For our own part, we must confoss that the idea excites in us no such peculiar gratulation. On the contrary, wo shall, in tho ovent of his election, look upon it as rather a greater honor to tho commercial emporium than s_ l: ir iir a l..a ? * ?- - ...a iu iiiiiikh;ii Tfuvuiiiiui uui vii ink ne wouia oeom of place in such a station. We have, with most unqualified delight, ambled with him through his "Tour of tho Prairies," and boon afraid to go to sloop, without a candle burning all night in our room, for a week after reading his "Tales of a Traveller;" but really, it is asking loo much of us to sit down with him at an aldorman's dinner, and behold him, tho caterer of so many intellectual banquets, dealing out turtle soup and gulpy oysters to a range of oystcr-cyrs'd beings around him ; and to follow him through every cow-path of tho city of Gotham to see that the mud-holes and grog-shops ore kept in order. Morcy on us! it shivers evory vein of ideality in our body. Absence of Mind: the very last.?A young gen. tlcman in town lately went to cleaning his teeth with his hair-brush. IIo did not find out his mistake until he had stretched his mouth into a loch-jaw. We aro happy to notico the convalescence of the Hon. Mr. Poinsett.

Ho goos to tho Mediterranean with tho view of renovating a constitution prematurely enfeebled by unremitted pastoral labors. On Sabbath last ho delivered to a large auditory, his farewell sermon, from John, xiv chapt., 37th verse. "Peace I leavo with you, my peace I give unto you: not as tho world givcth, give I unto you." Tho following linos were suggostcd by tho occasion. The parting hour has conic at length, Iiush'd in thy friendly tone; Uncoasing caro for others' strength, Has worn away thino own. A holy stillness haunts the hour, As Griof awakes her spoil, I Imparting a moro startling powor. To that full word, Farewell. Fond hopos go with thoo o'or the deep To gild thy lonely way; And sympathies that never Bleep, Around thee brightly play. Warm skies may bring tboo wonted rest, Soft climates stay thy form. But thou hast left in ovory breast, Behind thoo, hcart6 as warm. There's not a holier fcoon beside, Than this, beneath tho sun, That distance may our forms divide, And yet our hearts be one. ' Lovo heeds no bounds of time or space, But whcrcsoe'or they go, Makes with its friends a dwelling place, In gladness or in woo. There's not a wish the heart can feel, But centres in the prayer. That he who guides tho wayward keel, And rules the stonny air, Will follow thee with zephyrs bland. And when in far off Grocce, Thy sighs go toward thy native land, Will bloss thee with his peaceFrom the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. Abduction?An express arrived in the city this morning, from Erie, Pa., bringing intelligence of a most extraordinary outrage committed at that place on the night of the 5th inst. The particulars ?s stated in handbill, published in relation to the affair, are as follows. As Miss Ifamot, daughter of P. S. V. Hamot, Esq. of that place, was retur mug from a party, in company with a young man of Mr. H's. family, about 11 o'clock at night, they were assaulted on the side-walk by Robert C. Bristol, Captain of the steamboat James Madison, and four other persons; the young man was forcibly secured, while Miss llamot, amid screams for aid, wns forced into a hack close at hand, with the loss of her bonnet and other articles of clothing, and then driven down to the harbor, where she was put on board the Madison. That boat appears to have been in readiness for the purpose, with steam up, and forthwith pushed out in the lake, with lights extinguished. Chase was immediately given in the U. S. Cutter, and the steamboat Thomas Jefferson \vas got under-way as speedily as possible; but from the darkness it was impossible to discover the course taken by the fugitive bont. t?I._ **_.?! a A.11.. :. . | j lit; mauison whs ikh imiy in n uuiiuition for sen, having only * part of her buckets in, and hut little wood on board. Hence Bristol is supposed to have pushed across the lake for Canada. The affair seems to have made quite a slir at Erie, and from the respectability of the parties, and the novelty of using a steamboat of 700 tons on snch an enterprise, together with the attendant circumstances, have caused it to excite some little sensation heic. Wc can hardly credit the fact that Capt. B. would have pursued such a suicidal course as this, and incline somewhat to I the opinion, thai it may turn out a mere 44 Gretna Green" business, after ail. EXTRACTS FROM THE LATE ANNUAL TRE\SURY REPORT. 1* 44 The estimate as to the receipt ot Treasury notes has been placed at five millions, or only a lit le beyond the amount which fulls due und is obliged to be redeemed within the >ear. 44 But as all of those issued, whether due or not, have been made by law receivable at any time for public debt, and the right to reissue them even during the year is proniuiieo, it intiei ue inuoiiesi that .the receipts or redemption of them will be likelv much to exceed that amount, and to produce to that extent a deficiency, if the hanks do not resume specie payments, so as to aid in supply mg n sound currency to pay into the Treasury instead of them, or unless the prohibition to reissue them during the year he removed." We know thul the hanks have not yet i resumed, and that some of the princpal ones do not intend to resume during the year. II ence most of the Treasury notes issued will probably he paid in before: they are redeemable, and thus cause a! considerable deficiency, if Cohgrcss do , not allow them to be reissued. 2. **On- the contrary, any considerable departure from the estimates, either by increasing the appropriations or reducing the receipts, or by pa\ ing in for public. dues a larger amount of Treasury notes, will necessarily create adclicien-' cy." We Irarn that Congress has hills pas-j | sed, and reported with a view to he passed, extending eight millions bevond what j was called for in the annual estimate; aim: if they, or a large portion of them, are passed, a further deficiency must be caused in that way.

To the 1 Yonorahle Legislature of Virginia. The undersigned humbly beg leave to represent unt > your honorable body, that they are free persons of eolor, residing within lite jurisdiction of the corpor ition of Fredericksburg, and natives m the State of Virginia. Some of them descendants of soldiers of tne Revolution.? Others having heen personally engaged in aiding the efforts of their country, i" the late war with England, that nmn\ of them are possessed of property, real as well as personal, and have therefore a i abiding interest in preserving the peaee and good order of the community. They beg leave further to represent, that so general has become the diffusion of knowledge, that those persons who ares unfortunate as not to he in some slight degree educated, are cut off from the ordinary means of self-advancement, and (ind the greatest difficulty in gaining an honest livelihood. In consequence of this condition of tilings, and ol the prohibitory statutes of Virginia, on this subject, the undersigned have been heretofore compelled to send their children abroad for .instruction. The expense attendant upon J this course, though heavy to pi rsoes of small means, is tho least important m the evils growing out of it. The residence of their children in the North, not inerel\ deprives them of the fostering rare of their parents, hut unavoidably exposes them to the risk of having their minds poisoned by doctrines alike inimical to the ( good order of society and destructive of their own interests. Moved by these considerations vour po' thinners humbly heg that an art may !> i passed, authorizing a school in the ecu poi ration of Fredericksburg, for the instruction of the free people of color resident therein, subject, nevertheless, to such con' ditions as to your honorable body may seem necessary and proper, and your petitioners will ever pray, &lc. &lc. The above petition having been duly considered, a majority of the company selected Mr. James Wilkins.to be the bearer of the same to the Representatives of , SpnttsyIvnnia county. Signed by Edward D.

How to make A YofJNG V he of an Old Maid.?The following true story . * * might perhaps furnish matter for a little ' comedy, if comedies wcrs still written in ! England. | It is generally the case that the more beautiful and the richer a young female is, the morediflicult are both her pan nts n* d herself in the choice of a husband, and the more offers they refuse The one is too tall, the other too short, this not wealthy, this not respectable enough. Meanwhile one spring passes after another, and year after year, carries away leaf after leaf of the bloom of youth, and opportunity after opportunity. Miss Harriet Selwood was the richest heiress in her na-j tive town; but she had alieady completed | her twenty-seventh year, and beheld almost all her young friends united to men ; whom she had at one time or other dtsrar-! ded. Harriet began to be set down for! an old maid. Her parents became really uneasy, and she herself hum ntcd in pri, vate a position which is not a natural one, and to which those to whom Nature and Fortune liavc been niggardly of ibeir gifts are obliged 10 submit: but Harriet, as we have said, was both handsome and vciy ri? It. Such was the stale of tilings, when her uncle, a wealthy meareliant in the north of I'bigland, came on a visit to her parents.? lie was a j >vi-il, lively, straight-forward man, accustomed to attack all dillicultii s boldly and cooly. "You see/' said her lather to him one day "Harriet continues single The girl is handsome: what she is to huvt for her fortune you know; even in tins scandal-loving town not a creature can breathe the slightest imputation against lu r; ai d \clshe is gelling to be an old maid." "True," replied the uncle; i4but look you, brother, the grand point in every affair in this world is to seize the ri^lit moment; this you linvo not done; it is a misfortune, hut let the girl go along with me, and before the end of three months, I will return her to you as the wife of a roan as young and wealthy as herself." Away went the niece with the uncle. On tin- way home, he thus addressed her: "Mind what lam going to say. Ym are no longer Miss Selwood, but Mrs. Lumley, my niece, a young, wealthy, child'tss widow; you hail the misfortune to lose your husband, Colonel Lumley, after a happy union of a quarter of a year, by a fall from his horse w hile hunting." 41 Hut uncle " "Let me manage, if you please, Mrs. Lumley. Your lather has invested me with In 1 i powers. Here, look you, is the wedding-ring given you by your late husband. Jewels an*' whatever else you need, your aunt will supply you with, and accustom yourself to cast down your eyes." The kerti-wii:cd uncle introduced his niece < very where, and everywhere the VOIIIIa u idoiv I'Vritrd n irri sii sfiisntion. The young (t, utlemcn thronged about h?r, and she soon had her choice out twenty suitors. Her undo advised licr to accept ll.o one who was deepest in love with Iter, and a rare chance decreed that this sh uld !>e precisely the most amiable and opulent. The mat eh was soon eonrlti c 1, and one da\ the uncle desired to say u lew wordto his future nephew in private. " M\ d??ar sir," iie began, "we have t??ld y u an uutruih. "II w so?
