The Coming Emigration in 1852.
—Tho emigration to this city alone,
from Europe, during the year 1851, has
amounted to close upon BOO,000 per
sons. To the entire of the United States
it cannot he less than double that num
ber. Tho probability is, that in the
present year a million of human beings
will land upon our shores from the Old
World, to swell our population, and in
fuse new elements into it for good or
evil.
This increase in the number of emi
grants will result from the dark despo
tism that broods all over the continent
of Europe, and from the increasing po
verty and distress that ever flow from
the oppression of the people.
Ardent republicans, and all men who
cannot endure the galling yoke of the
tyrant, will desert their native land,
like the Piltpim Fathers of old, and
seek an aslylum and a home on this J
virgin soil, whose teeming fertility and
boundless resources and free institutions
invite tho hand of labor, and industry,
and enterprise, from all the down-trod-
den nations of the earth. In addition
to this class, wo may expect a large ;
number of political refugees, who will
probably be expelled from England un
der the potential operation of the diplo
matic influence of the despotic powers
of the continent These will all come
here.
And, lastly, a vast |>ortion of the in-
dn trlons elarses—quiet men, who love
law and order, no matter of what kind,
and do not possess any of the revolu
tionary spirit—men who wish to earn
a decent livelihood, and live in peace,
or whose passion it is to speculate and’
accumulate wealth: nil these, either
fearing the outburst of revolution at
home, or feeling that their industry and
energies are wasted in the vain effort
to secure an independence for themsel
ves and their offspring in the land of
their ancestors, will he wafted across
the Atlantic to our seaports—some of
them to remain in the large cities, and
others to proceed into the agricultural
districts of the country; but all produ- ;
cing a favorable influeifbe upon the de-
velo|tcnicut of our wealth and pros
perity.
But all these classes, whether revo- ]
lutionary or not in their own countries,
will he sure to contribute to the politi
cal excitement of this; for no sooner do
Europeans arrive upon our shores, than
they are seized by the party politicians, ‘
and turned to account. Thus, the very j
source of the augmentation of our na- ,
tional wealth will also add incentive to
party spirit, political intrigue, public
corruption, and the increasing demora
lization of the people.—N. Y. Herald.
To Old Maids and Bachelors.—
“ Men should not marry,” it is com
monly said, “ unless they can not only
maintain for themselves the social po-1
sition to which they have been accus
tomed, but extend the benefits of that
position to their wives and ehildren. ;
A woman who marries is entitled to be
kept in the same rank and comfort in
which she was reared.” We entirely
disavow these doctrines. It should be

The Cotton Market has been somewhat

numerous Committee* on different sub.
jects called out; but no response was
made. We presumo, too, that some of
the committee on the dinner failed to re
port; for in tho meat line we discovered
but one lone ham, which was soon de
molished. It was very fine, we judged
from its appearance, though we did not
taste it, (having dined before we left
home) and the only objection was that it
did not last long enough. The staff of
lift, however, was very abundant We
hope we shall never have to chronicle
another meeting of this society i" which
so little interest is manifested. Mr. C. B.
Dibble, formerly of Wilmington, N. C.,
but now of Charleston, was present at the
meeting, and was elected an honorary
member of the Society. Mr. D. made a
few general remarks on the subject of
agriculture; said that his business was
such now as to prevent his engaging in
j it, but that he had been raised in that em
ployment, and looked forward with hope
I to some future day when he would be
j able to return to it, for he regarded it as
one of the noblest occupations of man.
He is the owner of a steamboat, the Wm.
B. Meares, which he proposes to run from
; Charleston to Cashway Ferry, and all
the intermediate landings on the Pee Dee,
and to furnish the planters of this region
I with lime, guano, gypsum or plaster at
20 per cent, less than the present rates of
freight on that river. We would res
pectfully call the attention of planters to
this proposition, as affording them facili
ties for improving their lands.
•taneea of yellow frver, we find the mo
ribund patient confident of recovery.—
These are the exceptions, however; and
we cannot too often repeat that the reli-
gious prejudice which argues unfavorably
of the previous conduct and present cha
racter from the closing scene of an agita
ting and painful illness, or from the last
words, uttered amidst bodily anguish and
intellectual contusion, is cruel and unrea
sonable, and ought to be loudly denoun
ced. We can well enough understand
why an English Elizabeth, Virgin Queen,
as history labels her, could not lie still,
agitated as she must have been by a
storm of remorseful recollections, nor re
strain her shrieks of horror long enough
to listen to a prayer. But how often does
it happen that “ the wicked has no bands
in his death;” and the awful example of
deep despair in the Stainless One, who
cried out in his agony that he was forsa
ken of God, should serve to deter us from
the daily repeated and shocking rashness
of the decisions against which I am now

PHILTTiTwHlTE.
A writer in the Edgefield Advertiser,
states that he sometime since travelled in
me minds have seemed firm enough,
it is true, to maintain triumphantly this
last terrible struggle, and resist in a mea
sure, at least the depressing influence of
disease. Such instances cannot, however,
be numerous; and we should be prepared
rather to sympathize with and make all
due allowance for human weakness. I
have seen such moments of yielding as
it was deeply painful to witness, at the
bed side of many of the best of men,
whose whole lives had been a course of
consistent goodness and piety, when
warned of impending death, and called
on to make those preparations which cus
tom has unfortunately led ns to look upon
as gloomy landmarks at the entrance of
the dark valley.
One of these, from youth to age a most
esteemed and valued member of one of
the most fervent religious bodies, with
sobs and tears, and loud wailing, threw
the pen and paper from him, exclaiming,
over and over again, “ I will not—I can
not—I must not die.” Like the eccentric 1
Saivini, of whom Spence tells ts that he
died,crying out in a great passion, “ Je ne
veux pas mourir, absolnment:" and Lan-
nes, the bravest of Bonaparte’s marshals,
when mortally wounded, struggled angri
ly and tearfully, shouting with his last
breath. “ Save me, Napoleon!”
But I recoil from farther discussion of
Tub Fobckbibf.—W# noticed on
Saturday, says tli« Mercury of yester
day, the arrest of an individual on tho
evening previous, who was supposed to
have perpetrated the recent forgery on
the Charleston Bank, aud various other
swindles of less importance on grocers,
shop-keepers, &c. The individual in
question, Charles J. Granger, was
brought up for examination on Satur
day, and sufficient evidence was array
ed against him on some of the charges
to induce the Magistrates to commit
him for trial. Granger, it will be re
collected, was arrested some three
years since for forging a check on the
Union Bank, in the name of his emplo
yer, Mr. James Marsh, sen. He was
convicted of felony in the matter, and
pardoned by the Governor.
Edward Noble, Esq., publishes a
communication in the abbeville Banner
of the 20th inst, in which he states that
he has been requested by the Hon. A.
Burt, who yet lies sick at his residence
on Savannah river, to make "c the
announcement of his determination not
to be again a candidate for re-election
to Congress. Mr. Burt’s continued
and serious indisposition since his re
turn home last Christmas from Wash
ington, has, says Mr. Noble, detained
him from his sent in Congress, and
will, no doubt, make it hazardous for
him to resume it for some time to come.
A Gallant Husband.—Mr Graham,

so was, and an address by Dr. J. P. Zim
merman on the subject of Temperance.
The orator referred in appropriate terms
to the occasion, and to the character of
Washington. We believe that the char-
acter of Washihgton should be held up
to the youth of our land, as worthy of
imitation in every respect. As a patriot
the aim of every married couple to make and citizen, his character is without spot
their own fortune. No son and daugh
ter, who become man and wife, are
entitled to rely on their patrimony, but
should willingly commence life at a
lower step in the social ladder than
that occupied by their parents, so that
they umy have the merit and happiness
of rising, if possible to the top. Im
agine the ease of an aged couple, who,
by great perseverence have acquired
possession of immense wealth, and are
living in a style of ease and splendor
which is no more than the reward of
their long life and industry. Will any
body say that the children of such
folks should live in the same grandeur
as their parents? The idea is prepos
terous.
They have no right to such luxury
—they have done nothing to deserve
it—and if their parents are honest in
dividing their property among them,
they can have no means of supporting
it. Yet, marriages are contracted on
the principle that the married couple
shall be able to keep up the rank to
which they have been accustomed un
der the parental roof. It is such no
tions as this—engendered by Malthu
sian philosophers, and festered by lazy
pride—that are filling our country w ith
poor old maids, with coquetting young
ladies, w ith nice, cigar-smoking, good-
for-uothing young men.—North British

Slavery in California.—The
Richmond Enquirer is informed that a
proposition will be introduced into the
next Legislature of California to
rliange the constitution, so as to admit
slavery into the State. ITic writer to
the Enquirer is a native of Virginia,
aod is now a member of the Legjsla-
or blemish. When his country’s interest
required it he did not hesitate to unsheath
his sword in Freedom’s cause, though the
ties of blood and the sacred name of
Union were invoked to prevent it. So
may it ever be with the gallant youth of
the land.

We have on our table two beautiful and

possession by our young friend William
C. McCall. We learn from him that they
were plowed up on the plantation of his
father, near the spot where the. curiosities
we noticed last spring were found. They
consist of two siliceous rocks, from 16 to
18 inches in circumference, with concave
sides, curiously and exquisitely wrought
They are highly polished, and are of a
beautiful yellow color. The purpose for
which they must have been made is to
us a profound mystery, but they bear the
evidence ot great pains and labor.

We were present a short time at

idly declining. We did not arrive in

mit the argument that the tributaries to
a river were robbing it of its transporta
tion, as that branches of a railroad were
inflicting the samp injury.
UeatT
We have just perused with infinite
pleasure an article on the above solemn
(heme, from the pen of Dr. Samuel Hen
ry Dickson, of Charleston, which has
been copied in Graham’s Magazine for
March. It may appear paradoxical that
pleasure should be derived from the con
templation of a theme from which most
men recoil with dread. But no one
who is acquainted with the chaste, poetic
and ornate style of Dr. Dickson will be
surprised that he clothes with attractions
a subject as sombre even as Death. The
following are his closing remarks on the
different phases under w hich death man
ifests itself under different circumstances:
The delirium of the moribund exhibits
itself in diversified and often contrasted
manifestations. Symonds looks upon it
as closely analagous to the condition of
the mind in dreaming. A popular and
ancient error deserves mention, only to
be corrected; that the mind, at the near
approach of dissolution, becomes unusu
ally clear, vigorous, aud active.
u The soul’s dark cottage, battered and
decayed,
Lets in new light through chinks which
Time has made.”
Excitement of the uncontrolled imagi
nation, as in dreams, and other modes of
delirium, is frequently mistaken for gen
eral mental energy; some suggested as
sociation arouses trains of thought that
have made deep traces in the memory;
scenes familiar in early childhood are viv
idly described, and incidents long passed
recalled with striking minuteness. All
physicians know the diff?rence familiarly
presented in diseases, some of which spe
cifically occasion despondency and de
jection of spirits, while others render in
different or even give rise to exhilaration.
The former conetitute a class unhappily
numerous. Cholera, which at a distance
excite* terrors almost insane, is usually
attended with a careless stolidity, when it
has laid its icy hand upon its victim. The
cheerful hopefulness of the consumptive
patient ie prov-rbisl; and in many b-
