Thanks to the Whi E,ilor ( he New York Commercial Advertiser, for having stripped off the veil from the med dling lunatic. We have just seen this ion I publication about James Willirs. We know from our own knowledge, that it abounds with falsehoods; and we shnll think it our duty to lend our hand towards their refutation. Ii.it do we expect to sat isfy the abolitionists by this exposure? Do ve expect to persuade Messrs. J. G Hir uey ami Lewis Tupp.ui of the gross injus nee they are d(i.ig to the South?

Toe Abolitionists, however, are not con tent with publishing pamphlets and news papers.

It app:ns (says the last Winchester Virginian,) thai kltl;e Abolitionists are very busy in the ntigii!orhood of Wheeling, and itie prac tice of abducting slaves seems to have be come very systematic. It appears that there are regularly organize.! bauds of un principled persons in Ohio, who are ready at ail times to persuade and assist slaves of Virginia and other Stales to escape to Ca nada. The Times say s : "No less than six slaves have escaped from their masters w ithin the last ten days, in and about this city. They were evi dently enticed away by those who ought to know better than to be guilty ol such tricks. We do not know whether the en ticers were white or bhirk negroes; but we would like to see them apprehended, anil the utmost extremity of the law adminis tered unto them.

In the latter place the land had ciacked in two places near the c -tton press, and extended nearly as low down as the Steam lioat Hotel. The walls ol the cotton warehouse erected near the press were cracked considerably, and it is sup posed they will have to be removed. A g' nlteman direct from Rodney, states that a portion ol the town had fallen into the ri ver, and that two hou-es had actually been destroyed by the land-slide or caving ol the oatik. No tidings ol a similar disaster .! Grand Guli has yet reached us, and pro iceteil as that place is, by the rocky abut ments ol the Gulf Hills, there is a prob 'nliiy that it may escape the threatened ;.ischiei. l'lie subject is certainly worth v of ionuirv: and we hope our friend of the Register wilt goon, to collect information from all quarters, and give us in each No. of tt is valuable woik, some statistics upon the subject.

Cotton has now obtain ed a gigantic degree of prosperity, which nothing can arrest. Why may it not be the ease with Silk? Our own importations of Silk during 1837, were $14,352,323. Why may we not only supersede the im portation from the east and from Europe, but supply a large portion of the raw ma terial lo tiie resi of the world ?" The jury first proceeded to view the hay of the unfortunate man which presented a spectacle too horrible to describe, the face being entirely eaten away, and the whole body being one mass of sores from top to toe. From the depositions, it appeared that the deceased was the driver of a cab and horse, the property of Mr. V. John son, a cub owner, at the west end of the town. On the evcnin' of Friday week, deceased came home, and complained of having a cold. lie took some gruel ana went to bed. On the following day, targe New Woollen Manufacture.

The elections in Maine and Pennsylvania are m many blows aimed at Abolitionism in behalf of the Constitution. We always ' considered the election of Mr. Van Ruren one of the happiest measures, not only J jr the South, but for the whole Union that r )u!d have taken place. He has been lied "a Northern President with South- Pin feelings" and the result proves the ; justice of the remark.

Hie Richmond Enquirer lias a long and valuable article on the subject which head this article, containing numerous excerpts from different writers, in relation to Mul berry trees, Cocoons, &c. he. The En quirer says : "Virginia is not asleep in relation to this new branch of industry. We have heard of large profits being made in the neigh borhood of v redencksburg, Petersburg and of Norfolk; in Caroline county, Brunswick, &c. The profits made by Mr. Hicks of Brunswick, on an outlay of from 2 to 300 in the Morus Multicaulis, have hppn alreadv noticed in this paper. It amounted, according to a letter of that gentleman to the Editor of the b armer's liecister, to $7,oOU Desiues retaining an ample stock for his future productions. We have heard ol anecdotes oi astonish ing profits being made in several places. They are as rife as they are amusing o( little squares in gardens, producing protit enough to amaze the owner of small spots of cround, which had cost only 5 lo COO dollars turning out in this new species of arrriculture. 3 or 4000 dollars ol 'cute farmers in the North, looking ahead, com inc to Virginia, selecting the best soils and situations, sending on their one or two eved cuttings and reaping this t all a har vest of several thousand dollars. The Murus Multicaulis, and the Silk worm, are now all the go. h orty dollars the thou- 2t Important Discover! The Teeth. Waldie, of Philadelphia, notices a dis covery oi' uo little importance to such as are troubled with bad teeth. He says : "Some time since, Doctor Caldwell, now a practising dentist al No. G8 South Sixth street, had a favorite horse which had become incapable of eating Ids oats, and on investigation a carious tooth indi cated the difficulty to result probably from tooth-ache. Extraction was the remedy of course; the poor horse was tripped up hy tying his feel together as custom pre scribes, his gum was lanced as we poor humanities have too ollen witnessed, and a pair of pinchers were applied, as we have also experienced; even a mallet and chisel failed of their eflect. The tootli was in tracticable; no effort would withdraw it from its socket. The gum tumefied and on examining it carefully, the doctor per ceived a ligament at the neck of the tooth, and without much thinking of the effect he cut it; the tooth immediately fell out, or was extricated with a slight effort of the thumb and finger. 'This led the operator to reflection, and the hint was obtained which confers upon suffering humanity a benefit, which may be esteemed by the sufferer, second only to the discoveries of Jtuner, or the circu lation of the blood! Subsequent experi ments have fully proven that the human teeth are also retained so powerfully in their sockets by a ligament, and it is the breaking of this which requires so much manual force; and this, when cut, which gives not so much pain as lancing the gums, loosens the tooth, and it may imme diately be extracted without pain with the fingers! A physician of our acquaintance, whose name we are at liberty to mention it requested, has had the operation of ex tracting a large molar, trtble fanged tooth in this way without pain, and so gratified was he by the fact, that he investigated the anatomy of the parts and extracted all the teeth of a dead subject in the same way, and with no more difficulty than above re lated. He is a witness not to be imr each ed, who, with many others, have already been benefited by this great anatomical discovery." Horrible Death. On Saturday week, an adjourned inquest was held at the Cham pion, Princes street, Lisson Grove, on the body of John JVPLellan, whose death oc- curred under the following circumstances: Jl bloody affray. We learn from the Alexandria (La.) Intelligencer of the 12th instant, that a few da)Ts previously a fatal rencontre took place in the Parish at Cata houla, between Henry Umble, John Davis, and a man by the name of Ross, and two brothers by the name of Jonathan and Ab salom Ilapgerty. The elder Haggerty be ing severely wounded by a shot received in the thigh, handed his brother, quite a youth, a double barrel shot gun, and direc ted him to kill their assailants, whereupon young ilaggerty immediately shot dead Umble and Ross, and was himself slightly wounded. The wound of the elder Hag gerty is supposed to be mortal. Attempted Bobbery. On Friday night last the counting-room of our office was en tered by some ingenious rogue, who by ve ry neatly cutting out a pane of glass, was enabled to raise the window He then cut his way into one of the drawers of the desk. and apparently gave a critical examination to the papers, &c. with which it was pretty well crowded but he found no money, which, as he look nothing else, seemed to be the exclusive object of his search. It is evident that he knows nothing about Prin ting Offices, else he would surely not have expected to have found money in such a place. fAttemptinc to rob an Editor is a- bout as foolish as to shear a hog. About as little money would be found in one case, as wool in the other." We are much obli ged to the rogue, that he was apparently so careful of our papers, not deranging them more, we suppose, than was absolutely necessary in a diligent search for the "hard money currency" which he like some others, found out to be all a "Humbug.'' Lynchburg Virg. Attempted suicide. A man in Long Buckley, Mass. on the 9th inst. in a fit of despondency, determined to destroy him self, and with that intention procured three ounces of oil of vitriol. The first mouthful he took was, however, such a scorcher, that he was convinced that the rest would not agree with his stomach, and he ran off to a surgeon for assistance. The surgeon, by literally drenching him with carbonate of magnesia mixed in milk, succeeded in sav ing his life, and the acute suffering he had inflicted upon himself has completely cu red him of the blues, and he is thankful that he did not kill himself this time.
