A. C. CURltY, Jailor. Sept. 29, 1840. 55'J-tf EXTRACTS FROM CONFESSIONS OF A LAUDANUM DRINKER." From the Charleston Courier. Before entering upon my tale, I may here remark, that the laudanum drinker lives in a bright world, when under the influence of that potent and fascinating driis;. Stimulated to madness a one time, and, at another, steeped in soft Lethean dreams, the victim of opium is, in effect mad. And I was mad, when heart and brain tin fire with evil passion 1 uttered words of evil import, prompt etl, it is true. by envy and hate, but prompted also by the influence 01 that unnatural excitement, which had lulled reason asleep, and given demon like . ower to revenge and causeless dislike. I was pitiless and cruel- I he jMi it of the murderer was mine. 1 sought not to slay, it is true, 111 the common sense of the term, but a deadlier staughter was that at which I aimed. 1 strove to blacken the fair fame and sully the uniinpeached and unimpeachable reputation cf one whose only crime was. winning att'ectiou, where I dei"tied to rule supreme, and exerting " 1 - - 1 1 .: 1 power, wlieti, in my nnimsi sui, 1 nt-Miru such power should be vested alone in my hands. No pains were spared, that could b? bestowed upon my education. 1 was sent to the best schools and well instructed in all the accomplishineittsot the day- I sup- nose that my beauty was unquesiionauie, at least, every one told me so ; and I may infer as much Irom the host ot admirers. who, in the shape of beaux, flocked aroun d me, as soon as I had emerged from girl hood into womanhood. At length, 1 married. My husband was a man of intellect and a miser, and each party brought an equal amount of pro perty into the common stock- This pro prrtv was a source of bitter feelings and contention between us. .t first. I did not call lor settlements, nor had he the gene rosity to suggest them, but, by the mere act o"f marriage, became so!e anil sovereign disposer of my entire inheritance, which, indeed, was n'ot large, but large enough, had I retained it in my hands, to place me 011 a looting of equality, as to property, w ith him. I think I may say, that I did not care for wealth, merely for the sake of wealth 1 may fairly, indeed, acquit my self of that mean and despicable propensity. But I was fond of di ess, and equally fond of show. I wished to be considered a leader of the ton a lady of distinction in the social circles, to which I had the silly ambition of giving law. Money, and that, loo, m no small amount, was necessary to a person cherishing such aspirations, and money I could seldom, if ever, procure from my husband. One of my ruling pas sions was to be considered very generous. I wished to have it supposed that I ha.d my beneficiaries, who lived chiefly on my bounty, and I have sometimes fearfully violated the truth by declaring to those whom 1 wishet! to impress favorably, or who' I supposed, would be likely to trumpet my praises, that there were persons (quite as'well oft in the world, I now own, as my self,) whom I actually kept from starving by my charities. The desire to obtain money for the ake of making a display, had finally led me to love it with great aidor, and I am now very apt to estimate Bonnie bv the money standard alone -not by what they are, but by what they are worth. I never had a child. Had Providence favored us with children, I think my hus band would have loved me better th in he did. As the matter stood, not much ot the tender passion was ever lost between us On the contrary, mutual toleration sooa degenerated into a mutual disgust and mutal bickering, which euueu on urn. occasion, in his threatening to cut my throat. In tact, we lived together, like cats and dogs, and the matrimonial career, instead of bringing joy and gladness to our hearts, was embittered by our perpetual recriminations. Some kindly sympathis ing friends have declared that he often treated me like a brute, and that I was a greatly injured woman ; but, before God and man, 1 now declare, that he was quite as good as I was. I do not know which of us surpassed the other in the violence of our passions and the sharpness of our retorts. We were well matched in these respects, and I cannot descend peace fully to the grave, without removing from the memory of that man a portion of the unJeserved odium which has been heaped on him on my account. None knows, half so well as myself, the bitterness and vindic tiveness ot my own temper. My husband often threatened that he intended to do something with his proper ty, which, in the event of his death, would place it beyond my control. I regarded this, at first, as a mere ebullition of his spite. At length, it leaked out the in formation coming to me not directly, but indirectly, through a third party, that he was actually about to invest the whole of his property in a Life Insurance Company. His estate had now become quite large. We had no children ; we never travelled; we indulged in no expensive pleasures, so that, from competence, he had, by means of hoarding, risen, in the space of thirty years, to positive wealth, and was regard ed by his neighbours, and, in fact, was, a rich man. This information alarmed me. Instantly applied to him to know the truth ot it. He did not hesitate to admit that such was his intention. I then insisted, that he should, though at a late day, go immediately into Court, and settle upon me, in the most formal manner possible, that portion of the estate which I had brought to him on my marriage. The pro position was not agreeable to him, and he put mc oil", saying, that what I demanded was quite out of his power, as he had al ready spent part of the property. I then requested, that he should settle on mc the remainder ol it, ami finally carried my point, but he never forgot my pertinacity, and rewarded me for it, by cutting me oft", in his will, with a small annuity, transferr ing the bulk of his large estate to a brother, for whom, during his life time, he had never cared a sixpence. He did not even leave me carriage, horses nor coachman ; but, as I had always called these mine, 1 seized on men. Jure u.voii.-, them against all comers ; for what could a ladv of fashion do, without her carriage, horses and coachman. My very position in society depended upon my retaining them. After one of our fiercest quarrels ; it was the one in which he threatened to cut my throat considering my life actually in danger from his .violence, I left him, and remained separated from him lor six months. I was received into the house of my brother-in-law, where I was treated with with great kindness ; and that gentleman, who had married my only sister, was the means, in connection with her, of ffrt tmr a rrronuection between us. I continued to live with my husband till his death, and have the satisfaction of reflect- , j '1 .1 1... ..... ing, that 1 couinuuieu, uy mj uuium assiduities, all that human kindness could effect, to alleviate the distressing illness to which he finally fell a victim Sometime after this event, I purchased of my brother in-law his house in town, he having one in the country, and we still continued to live together, "sometimes in town and some times in the country, each party contribut ing a fair proportion to the expense of the e-tablishui"iit. My sister was a woman of many excellent qualities, of a sound judg ment, amiable and affectionate disposition and lady-like manners. 1 was certainly very much attached to her, and although I not unfrequeutly, in the ebullitions of my hasty temper said harsh things to her, and well calculated to harrow up her soul from its inmost depths, yet she had an admirable control of her passions, and never return ed railing for railing. She doubtless had faUltg for who is without them? but, upon the whole, I do not believe that a better woman or a better christian eyer lived, and I doubt not that she is now reaping the rewards of all her patience ami kindness in a better world. Previous to her marriage, she had been engaged to a gentleman, who abandoned her for the sake of a woman, whom I can never think, or sneak of with patience, and whom, not- ii-ithct.indinc 1 have kent tut a show of intimacy (often interrupted) with her for for years, I most heartily detest. My sister left a son, whom, having no children of my own, I adopted. I invited my brother in-law, for whom I had always entertained a sincere esteem, to remain with me. My sister was several years his senior, and 1 was several years older than she was indeed old enough to have been his mother. I expected that he would niarrv again, and my sister, previous to her ilea th, had wished m to advise him as to the selection of a wife, and I had un dertaken to do so. I now approached a passage in my history, which I would ..u.iitr olditorate from the records of my I Wi rwl ilVMT w hich. were it nossible. and if a merciful Providence would permit it. I would fain throw a pall of eternal oblivion; but as I cannot remove it from my con science, where it lies like a mountain weight so neither can I strike it, by any volition or praver of mine, from the story 1 VOI. IO IO. 663. OO- Liberal deduction Jtor large advertisement Shy the year or six month. of my life, which it will render execrable forever. Whether it were really some demon, or only that cursed opiate, which has been the bane of my existence, that stimulated my pasasions to a preter natural height, I know not, but certain it is, that, for the space of a twelve-month, inv actions were rather those of a fury, than of a woman. My brother-in-law, without consulting me on the subject, became en gaged to a lady of rare personal and in tellectual endowments and most respec table connexious. Had shebeen wealthy, I should nat have objected to the match, for my plan was, that he should leave the property he then possessed to his son, whom I had adopted. His choice, falling on a lady who had nothing but her extra ordinary merit to recommend her, defeated all my schemes and expectations for the future. When 1 heard the news, 1 assailed him with a torrent of abusive epithets, for I was roused to a pitch of indignation, which no tongue can describe, by what 1 regarded his audacity in choosing a wife for himself. My next efforts were direct ed to breaking oft his engagement, if such a thing were by any means, possible. To this end, I threatened to alter my will, al ready made in favor of his son. - 1 went so far as to declare to him that 1 had actually destroyed that instrument, which was not the case. Finding that he was not to be moved by such considerations, 1 endeavor ed to bribe him. 1 offered him the larger portion of my estate, if he would break oft his engagement, but even this tern pta tion was not sufficient to induce him to comply with my wishes, when they were placed in ihe balance against his plighted faith. He was not to be influenced either by threats or bribes. Though the lady of his choice was an utter stranger to me, and I certainly knew nothing to her disparage ment, 1 next endeavored to assail her re putation and blackened her character by the foulest and most unfounded aspersions. I made one charge against her of so gross a character, that, inasmuch as it was utter ly untrue, I have not the courage here to repeat it. He called for proof, I had none, ol course, to give. I was careful not to repeat these slanders to others, if I did so, it was with the strictest injunctions of secresv, for 1 was apprehensive, that, goad . . , ... ly given. weight she rouge; and gray hairs, which would have brought wisdom, mingle with the borrowed locks of youth; when the coquettish smile ol sixteen, converted into a meaningless grin; reveals the fair work of some skillful dentist, adoring toothless gums Well may the faded beauty, still clinging to love of admiration, look with envy and malice en the young and lovely! This person, being acquainted with the lady to whom my brother in law was en gaged, and having decided, (what had she to do with it?) in her own mind, against his marrying her, impertinently sent for her, and employed all the resources of her intriguing genius, to indnce her to violate her plighted faith, deliberately and solemn- Kcasons or considerations of had none, but artful insinua tions answered her purpose as well, and these she employed 011 the occasion. 1 shall not here repeat what she said afid said in vain to influence the mind of the ynuti" latly. A fine dish of the devil' viands was served up fur her entertainment, my own character and that of my deceased and beloved sisler, drawn in no very favor able colors, furnishing the side dishes to the feast. 1 had not, for a length of time kept up any visting intercourse with this woman. She had repeatedly called to see me. but I was never "at home'' 10 her. Though very angry, I now determined to call on her, which I did, when she prompt ly denied every thing that she had said to the disparagement of myselfand my family. This 1 had expected her to do, not that I doubted at all that she had made the rep resentations in question, but because 1 was satisfied that she had made them when laboring under the influence of opium, and had little or no recollection of them. Some of the worst things I ever uttered myclf, were uttered under the same influence, ami when I have come to my senses, I have forgotten them altogether, and have denied them most positively. In the delirium oc casioned by opium. 1 am now convinced, that persons say and do things, of which, when the paroxysm has passed away, they are as utterly uuconcious as persons are of what occurs during the mesmeretic slum ber, when awakened out of it.

In speaking of those whom, with or without reason, she disliked, she used no medium, but gave her tongue as large a liberty as her antipathies, at any time, might die tate.

I hail never affirmed what I reported to be a fact, but had merely cir culated it as a rumor that 1 had heard front others. Had there been any foundation for it, my triumph would have been com plete; but it was a short-sighted policy which led itie to invent a taTe, which flic" lapse of a few months proved t be utterly groundless. Whether the fact that I have never had any children myself, has rendered me en vious, and that my envy has led me to IW over suspicious of the virtue of my sex, t know not; but certain it is, that this it not the fut instance in which 1 have circulat ed similar reports respecting ladies of toy acquaintance, mid which, in the t'ftdy proved equally without foundation. In the invention of these stories, I know that I have been instigated by the Devil, or have thereby proved my sell, in propria persona, to be a Devil. Indeed, 111 the present instance, being aware of the share" 1 had in the transaction, as well as of its Satanic character, I sent a special messcn ger to the injured party to inform her thai I actually was a Devil in doing which, I gave her the strongest possible assurance of the sense I entertained of the groat criminality of my conduct. When I consider what infernal passion actuated mc in the progress of this bate and unprecedented persecution of the in nocent, and reflect 011 the deep anguish I must have occasioned all those who were either directly or indirectly affected by my malice, 1 feel more ashamed and 'de graded in my own estimation, than I have words to express. I feel that I have been, without cause or provocation of any kind, a cruel and gratuitous slanderer, and that all the good I have ever done since 1 was born if I have ever done any is more than counterbalanced by the evil I did in this instance, and by the undeserved suf fering I inflicted on persons who had never injured me. Indeed to my brother-in-law I was under many obligations for numerous acts of kindness, which I thus very illy re quited; and I know, that, by my own acts, I have placed between him and myself an everlasting barrier to the interchange of friendly sentiment If he is possessed of the ordinary feelings belonging to human ity, I am certain that he never can forgive me for the deep and bitter wrongs I have wantonly inflicted 011 him and on one most dear to him. set into a vio lent passion with them and call them "beasts."
