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

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

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.

TO A PASTOR.
The Rev. E. Phillips, of the Episcopal Church
in this town, has left his congregation, to be absent
for a year. 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

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

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.

which arrived at New York on Sumlav ;

: A BONNE BOUrilE FOR THE ABO-j
LlTIONIST>.
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

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? Are .Mrs. Liunlry's alTertions
"Nothing of the kind: my niece is sincerely
atiarhtd to you."
"Then her f rime, I suppose, is not
equal to what you told mo."
"On the contrary it is larger."
"Well, u hat i> the inatii r, then?"
' A joke, an innocent joke, which
came into inv head one day, when 1 u as
in a o?d humour; we could not well reall
it afterwards. Mv niece is not a wi<

" hat! is Colonel Lmvlev living?"

" v o, no, she is a spinster.
