A correspondent of tho Petersburg Intel ligencer says : "A most shocking occur rence took place in Fin castle a few nights since. A gentleman, with several mother less children, arrived at this place, and in the course of the night the inmates of the Hotel were aroused by terrific screams, and on tracing -up the sound, found that it emanated from the room in which the gen tleman and his children lodged. Breaking tho door open, the horrified spectators saw that he was laboring under a horrible dream or night-mare, and was in the act of lull ing out the tougue of his youngest child, whom he had taken to sleep in the bod with him. lie was immediately aroused to sec the bodv of his little child dreadfully bruis ed and lacerated, and told those who had awakened him, that he had dreamed that some one was murdering the child, and he was trying to rescue it. His agony was said to be indescribable. At the time the passengers left Fincastle for this place, the poor child was alive, but in an extremely perilous condition. THE PANAMA MASSACRE. A. B. Corwine, Esq., who was appointed by the President to investigate the massa cre which occurred some time ago at Pan ama, returned home by the late arrival from the Isthmus. He has, it is said, made a report to the President, which "fixes the responsibility of the massacre upon tho Now Granada authorities ; allows damages a- mounting to about half a million of dollars: I recommends the exaction of immediate in- , ... . e . i i l t e , J . r 1 IUU IS , ilWU., Oi bUV tOl -O L IAJ 1 L " cover, that tho United States take such steps as may be necessary to protect, on its own behalf, the transit across the Isth mus.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER PARDONING ABOLITIONISTS. A Washington City Correspondent of the Alexandria "Sentinel.77 says On the Kith, 17th, and 18th of April, 1848, great excitement prevailed iu this District, arising from the fact that a large number of j slaves hud been stolen from the neighbor- ! hd ?

The fugitives consisted of thirty eight men, twenty-six women, and thirteen children. Seventy-four were from the Dis trict, and three from Virginia. T4ie excitement was so great upon the ar rival of the parties at the steamboat wharf, that it was difficult to prevent the enraged citizens from seizing the culprits aud lynch ing them on the spot. In tho Union of April IS, 1843. you will find a full statement of the above facts, with the names of tho owners of most of the slaves. The following record shows the action of the Criminal Court in tiie case : "The Criminal Court of the District of Columbia, for the county of Washington. 'March Term, 1840. United States, vs. Daniel Drayton. "May 8th. Convicted of transporting slaves in 74 cases, and sentenced by the Court iu each case t pay a fine of $140 and cost, one Itolj oj the Jinc to the owner oj the slaves, according to the act ot Assembly of Maryland of 1707, ch.

"Test: JOHN A. SMITH, Clerk." Great efforts wore made by the abolition ists to procure the release of the prisoners through the clemency of the President, Mr. Fillmore, but without success, until after Gen. Scott was nominated. Then, when Mr. Fillmore had nothing more to expect from the South the Know Nothing party not having been organized you will find the following entry relative to Drayton and Savers, viz : "12th August, 1852. Discharged from jail by the President of the United States, "Millard FiUmore. "Test : JOHN A. SMITH, Clerk." It becomesf importance next to know who was instrumental in procuring the re lease of these whole -sale robbers and pi rates; and it is to this I want to call tho par ticular attention of my Whig friends who arc losing negroes by this same means. If you will turn to page 48 of book pub lished by Ticknor 6c Fields, Boston, enti tled "Recent Speeches aud Addresses, by Charles Sumner," you will find the follow ing ; "Argument submitted to the President fourteenth May, 1852, ou the application for the pardon of Drayton and Sayres, de tained iu prison tit Washington for helping the escape of shaves. The argument occupies fourteen pages of the book, and is introduced as follows : "This case excited particular interest. Messrs. Drayton and Sayres had already been in prison more than four years when Mr. Sumner applied to president Fillmore for their pardon. To this application, which was sustained by petitions from other quar ters, the President interposed doubts of his ritfbt to exercise the pardoning power in their case, but expressed it desire for light on tins point. On his invitation, Mr. Sum ner laid before him tho following paper. Stor'hi uttcM-arilis the imrdon v.is siiautid.

I have always re garded it as a happy omen of the perpetuity of our Government, that so large a portion of the emigration to our shores is of the Irish race kindred to ourselves and who so readily become incorporated with us. I luivo been struck with the facility with which they adapt themselves to our institu tions, rightly entering into their scope and spirit becoming, in a word, thoroughly Americanized. And I feel assured, that while the approaching festival will naturally call up hallowed recollections of old Erin, it will be with hearts full of attachment aud devotion to the home of their adoption, and with sentiments that will do honor to tho character of American citizens. liegretting that official engagements will forbid my acceptance of your kind invita tion, and wishing you all joy on this festive occasion, I am very res pectfully, your obedient servant, f ALEX. II. II. STUART. 4fe NaAA (J f A JUST REBUKE. The Memphis "Bulletin," a neutral pa per, with an undisguised leaning to the sup port of Mr. Fillmore, alludes as folWs to the revilers of Mr. Buchanan: "We regret to say that, in general, tho presses, and speakers opposed to Mr. Buch anan are adopting a tone of language and a tenor of sentiment as regards him, which cannot fail to recoil upon themselves, and to prove a disadvantage rather than a help to the election of Mr. Fillmore. It is idle to pretend that Mr. Buchanan is not enti tled to the respect of his countrymen as a ripe, experienced statesman, who has ren dered a long and distinguished service to the Republic. He is an old man, who has grown gray in the public service, without one blot upon his personal integrity or pri- vute honor. His patriotism has never been impeached, and cannot be. In most, if not all, the questions which have divided the country, we have differed from him. In tho position he now stands before the country, as the representative of a party to which we have always been opposed and especi ally as the representative of a principle avowed in the Ostein! Conference, giving! countenance to the spirit of aggression and acouisition already too rife in our land, there is much to render his elevation to the Chief Magistracy undesirable to us. There is but oue extreme contingency in which we could give him our suffrage as a dernier resort to escape the domination of pure sec tionalism. But, while thus radically difi'er- inir troai mi. jucn;umn in uie uoincMic policy which ho would inaugurate, we free ly concede to him, in this crisis of our pub lic affairs, the conservatism of a broad na tionality of principle and sentiment, and a fidelity to tlie Constitution which might be implicitly replied upon."

My life, like some lone solemn spot A spirit passed o'er, Grew instinct with a glory not In earth or heaven before; m Sweet trouble stirred the haunted spot, And shook the leaves of every thought Thy presence wandered o'er. My being yearned and crept to thine, As if, in times of yon;, Thy soul hath been u part of mine, Which claims it back once more ; Thy very self no hmger thine, But merged in that delicious life, Which made us oue of yon ! There bloomed beside thee forms as fair, There murmured tones as sweet, But round thee breathed the enchanted air. Twas life and death to inrefc; And henceforth thou alone wert fair, And though the stars had sung for joy, Thy whisper only sweet. COUNTRY GIRLS. Meta Victoria F'uller, iu llio Ohio Culti vator, iu a sisterly way, thus talks to coun try girls : The farmers' daughters are soon to bo the life as well as the prido of the country a glorious race of women, which no other land can show. I seek not to flatter them ; for before they can become this, thoy will have to make earnest efforts of one or two kinds. There are some who deprecate their condition, and some who have a false pride in it, because they demand more consider ation than they merit. A want of intelli gence upon all subjects of the day, and of a refined education, is no more in a coun try than a town-bred girl, in this age of many books and newspapers. Many girls are discouraged because they cannot bo scut away from home to boarding schools; but j of superior minds and knowledge of the world, would rather have for wives women well and properly educated at home. And this education can be had wherever the de sire is not wanting. A taste for reading does wonders, and an earnest thirst after knowledge is almost certain to attend a sweet draught of tho "Pierian springs." There is a farmer's daughter in this very room in which I am writing, a beautiful, re fined, and intellectual woman, whose girl hood books were not as plentiful as now, and who gained Ik r fine education under dimcultees wincli wouiu nave discouraged a-ny one but one ,iud tru0 11 love fr i study. I will state why I think the country girls are yet to prove the hopo of the eountn Tho women in towns and cities are becom ing so universally unhealthy, and so almost universally extravagant, foolish and fash ionable, that men are almost in despair of obtaining wives who are not invalids, and of providing them with what they demand, after they have married them. Unless the young man has the fortune (good or bad) to be the inheritor of wealth, he must spend the best bloom of Ids youth in acquiring en ough to "start upon," as people are expect ed to begin now-a days. Men, even in high places, would go to the country for their choice if they met their equal refinement and intelligence. Women are preparing to take a noble stand in history, and they cannot do it in ignorance. Town girls have the advantages of moro highly polished manners and greater accomplishments ; but country girls have infinitely more to recom mend them as rivals of their fa'r city sis ters. Tiny have more truth, household knowledge and economy, health, (and con sequently beauty.) simplicity, affection, and freshness of impulse and thought. When they have cultivated minds there arc more real ability, because so much is not demand ed by the frivolities of society. The added lustre of foreign accomplishments could easily be caught by such a mind, from a very little contact with the world. I would not speak as though our farmers' daughters were deficient in education. Ma ny brilliant scholars and talented women may be found among them ; in New Eng land this is especially so; but I would seek to awaken the ambition (if all to become that admired and favored class which they ought to be, if they will but unite refined culture with their most excellent graces. A sweet country home, witli roses and ho- ney suckles trained to climb over it; with good taste, intelligence and beauty within; toil enough to insure health, and leisure en ough Uj court acquaintance with books and n . ,. - flowers, and the loveliness of nature; with , , . . , pence, plenty and love, is surely one of the .. .. , , , J paradises which heaven has left for the Ta Rkmuvk Fkkcklek. The fuvorite cosmetic for removing freckles, in Paris, consists of one ounce of alum, one ounce of lemon juice, and a pint of rose water. tUT" The water that flows from a spring does not congeal in winter. So those sen timents of friendship which flow from the heart connot be fr-z n in adversity. Au- DI8QS. (VOLUME 5. C NUMBER 7. "BT&tkt Serioi NIGHT SCENT. IN A YOUNG LADY'S BEDCHAMBER. Ou a warm and sultry night during tho past summer, a young lndy at tho Woat End" was excessively frightened at a little circumstance which transpired about tho hour of midnight. The young lady, whoso beauty is only equalled by her modesty, and whose "eye's dark charm" has caused mora than one waistcoat to palpitate, had retired to her chamber, where, after laying asido tho greater portion of her wearing apparel, she committed herself to tho tender em brace of tho god of sleep, whoso soothing influences were aided by the cooling breath of the Zephyrs, who oamo in at the open windows and fanned bor cheeks with hia feathery wings. In a word, she was snooz ing finely or, to use tlie language of a mo dern bard "Sleep on her gentle eyelids tightly pressed. And dreamy siejis upheaved her snowy breast. While 8tarbeairm, thro' her window softly creeping, Stole to her couch and trembling there stood pecp- uig." It was, as wo said, about midnight, whon tho young lady was roused from her delici ous slumber by hearing a noiso at the win dow. Halt ime Usui!" her hvm aim 0 - J WfcFB DUV ! startled by the sight of a corpulent form. apparently struggling to gain admission to her chamber through the open window. It struck her at once that the intruder had been caught by tho reur of his unmention ables, by a nnil or some other sharp instru ment, as ho scorned to bo struggling with a storn determination to outer. Hor first thought was to faint hor second, to civo tho fellow a push hor third, to jump out of tho window as soon as ho jumped iu her fourth to scream, which wos immedi ately carried into effect. The whistle of the locomotive on tho Iron Mountain road, when it gave its first snort on tho 4th of Ju ly, was but a whisper to tho screams of tho young girl. Tho whole houso and half the neighborhood, woro awaked by tho outcry. Tho old folks, throe femuio servants and two big brothers rushed to tho rescue, and broomsticks, mop handlos aud bootjacks, flashed in tho gas-light, as tho household en tered tho chamber of the frightenod boauty. An examination of tho figure in the win dow dispelled the fears of all, and changed the screams of tho young lady into shouts of laughter. Tho imaginary " fat man" was her own darling hooped skirt, which she had hung on a hook near tho window, and which the wind had inflated, and set in motion. There was no moro sleeping in tho house that night. St. Louis Herald. 1 i"nMa o FASHIONABLE FOLLIES. A lady writing from the fashionable wa tering place of Newport, says : 'There was a rich display of fringes aud flounces, necks and necklaces. A very superb looking ludy from New Orleans, woro a boquet of diamonds, pearls, and pre cious stones, which 'they say,' cost $20, 0)0 ! It made all lesser trinkets ' pale their ineffectual fires.' It is no use trying to eclipse everything. Be as brilliant and as extravagant as you will, somo provoking Madame Allcash will bo sure to outshine and to outdash you. This dressing for show is rather a costly and unsatisfactory business. What a pity it cannot be dis pensed with altogether. I should liko to live in a planet where costume would grow upon us; where we could leaf out and blow outlike vines and lillies ; aud where chil dren could be gathered from the trees like peaches. Who knows but wo shall be 'put through a courso of sprouts' similar to this in the worlds to come. A LOCK OF HAIR. Few things, in this world, aro as delight ful as keepsakes. Nor do thoy ever, to the heart at least, nor to tho oye, lose their tender, their powerful charms ! How slight, how tiny a memorial saves a beloved one from oblivion ; worn on the fingor, or close to the heart, especially if they are dead. No thought is so insupportable as total, blank forgotfulness; when the creature that once laughed and sung to us, and wept close at our side, or in our arms, is as if her smiles her voice, her kisses had never been. She and them all swallowed up in the dark noth ingness of the dust. Of all keepsakes, mem ories, relics most dearly, devotedly is cher ished the lock of hair and, oh ! when the head it has beautified has long mouldered in the dust, how spiritual seems the undying glos-iness of the remaining All else go to nothing, save and except that soft, smooth, burnished and glorious fragment of tho appareling that once hung to the clouds and fetHMtbina over an angel's brow. IS TltKKE A Fl'TCKK STATE ? It has been the universal opinion of the wisest of mankind as well as the most ignorant, that there is. ft has been tlie hope of the hu man heart in all age. It hut been the fear of the conscience-stricken, aud the joy of tin- good. Without it life has no clue by which to explain its mysteries, or solve its problems. It is rendered probable by tho universality of its belief ; it has no effect but a good one, for it urges us to be and u right, and scripture makes it certain. Its wonderful mysteries here wo may not penetrate or know. Here we learn the al phabet of the language of life there in tho future all shall be revealed in Hues of living light. We cau more easily doubt our own existence than the existence of God, for if he is not we arc not. Nothing he ovwr cre ated is lost or cau h. That mysterioua life, then, that soeuis to ceas at dmtb. open- in eternity.
