MISCELLANEOUS. Tnm lbs Highland Messenger. REMARKS 'OS THE PBfNITENTlAtt QUESTION. You will otuenri that I bare tripled the neaMing of ibis tbeet the tame tide as that pre 'fixed to an article copied into your paper a few woek ago from the 'Raleigh Rrgister. Th a I navn done for the fcaaon that the author of that 'eaeay did not seem to me to have managed the subject if candidly and fairly aa auch an iropor. lant question demand but baa in reality given sLa f hara rmitnntai on QflC side of the question, - i.i . t.. rlia mm nowsrful r0S Wtluvui even nricimig j i one adduced on (be other. I shall content my. elf however at ihs time with endeavoriug to ex- failed to do, in their proper light beforo your readers. He first declare a the opinion of benevolent minded men the very proposition which in die cussing this aubject I should have laid down, i.e. "The prevention of crime ia an object greatly to be desired, therefore we favor the institution of a Penitentiary." lie then proceed to State that from lliia opinion, aa from a delusion, the mind of the public should be freed. He gives, however, merely a list of assertions, instead of arguments, by which he proposes lo establish his proposition. I shall therefore merely value them at what they really are the declaration of the opinions of single man and shall endeavor to deduce from train of undoubted and admitted facte that an institution of this kind cannot by any possibility hive any effect except an advantageous and de sirable one to any community. Let us examine as briefly as possible the va rious punishments for which a community like ours, it i thought desirable to substitute the Penitentiary. They are the pillory, whipping poet, and sometimes the gallows, as also common jtfil imprisonment and sometimes the State'e pri son. Of the first class of these punishments, it is justly complained that by their hardening effect, offoring to malefactors a fair opportunity to ex hibit their courage and hardihood, it takes away the disgrace of punishment; of ths oiIipt class, 'that they afford to the criminal a comfortable asylum and abundant leisure for meditating and contriving a renewal of his villany. "The Devil loves idlenese" eay the Spaniard and truly he could desire no belter opportunity for working hie will on the hardened and seared conscience of a malefactor already buried in guilt to the lips, than tbe solite.de uf a State's J'risoti or a coun ty jail. It is desirable, therefore, that in choosing a substitute for the present modes of punishment we should adopt that which will combine suffl ciont severity with merry, as far as it can in jus tice as well to the criminal as the community bo ehown, that will neither allow him to live a life of ease or give him an opportunity to acquire what he call glory, at the whipping post or the gallows. All these desirable ends we claim are attained in tbe institution of the Penitentiary. There the idleness or leisure so justly comptainco ot in oiner modes of imprisonment, gives place to an active, useful and industrious employment, the best suited in each particular case to enable the cul prit to live in future an honorable and useful life. Tbe who! j of the argument embodied in the Jafer part of bis essay resolves itself into the single question "I crime an appropriate object of revenue !" I shall answer this query by another, Is it desirable that the crimes of its in habitants should be a source of expense lo any ii ' ' i ' mj and establish in its place a system of rewards to nfJL-uders ngaiust the laws, and take my word for it that the end of absorbing the revenue of the State for the benefit of evil doers will be as com pletely attained by proposing a premium aa it is at present by holding out a penalty fur crime. If, on the contrary, my question is answered in the negative, then let us adipi some mode of punishment by which the criminaUuny be made to feel that it is to his individual iutcresfas well as that of l lie community in which he lives, that he should act honestly and uprightly. But do not tell him th.it by breaking the laws he will gain an asylum ia w hich he may defy tbe fear of poverty, acquire the means of living an easy, lazy and independent life. For there are some so hardened in guilt, so lost to every source of moral right or duty aa to glory in the fact that their guilt docs not' involve misery or misfortune to themselves, but only doubles the taxes and troubles of the unhappy poor, whoso only crime is that they are innocent. Again, is it not a welt known fact that public officers in many instances, conscious of the 'ex pense and trouble to the country attending im prisonment a at present applied, are strongly templed to let the guilty go free rather than bur den tbe State with tbeir support in indolence ? After a candid view of these facts what does it become Ds as people to do ! Shall we help to fasten tbe rope still tighter around our own necks 1 Shall we put it in the power of any band of rebels against tbe law to involve in their merited punish ment the destruction of the honest poor around them, the bankruptcy of the State and the an. nihilation of ber resource ! Or shall we not rather, toldly following and profiting by the ex ample of our partners in the great firm of nations, make crime it otvn supporter and punishment dreaded rather than desired ! QUIV1S. WILL THE LOCO FOCOS HAVE A CANDIDATE! UJlis question lis been' repeatedly asked a since Mr. Caldwell ba declined accepting the nomination aa a candidate for Governor, and we were enable to answer ; but we are now able to give a lillk light on tbe subject at least so far as tbe Loco Foe oa of this county are concerned. V understand that a. Caucus was held ia a back mm of Mr. J. B. Kerr' tavern on Tuesday last, by owe of the leader of the-party, by which .. YVafier'F.Leake, Esq of Richmond county was eleeted as their Candidate. Mr. Leake was re commended by writer ia the Standard. How far the people of this county will sanction this caucus Domination we sre . unable to say. . It seems to us a little strange) that party which manifests such t holy horror at Caucuses, when adopted by their opponents, should now descend . t adopt the same course. It may be alleged (bat they bad not, 1mm to call a tneetmg. This excuse - will not avail thsm, for it was just as easy to call - meeting jft the last Jsfftrsooistv as to wubfwh lbs CoTBoiunicatroo from (he Standard rceoin- ,' mending Mr. Leaks. Come on gentlemen with ' jour Caucus candidate, we think Mr. Graham can . lay him as cold as a wedge. But will Mr. Leake accept I UatC .-r Charlotte Journal ' , LAY UPON NAMES. y The very able Washington eorresponueot of the Uoited States Gazette, "OLiviaOtBtcHooi," in the dearth of more interesting matter, has en tertained tbe readers of that Journal with the following amusing and ingenious play upon the mines of the Members of Congress ; . . J. R. Chandler, Esq. I have oecesionally spoken of member of the' Jlouse of Representa tives. Never, pernios, was tnej a, mors limgu Ur spectacle than is presented inthat body. - You may there behold one of tbe strangest and most heterogeneous combination of character, materials and elements which ths imagination can conceive of. Men famous in by-gone timev Heroes, warriors, patriarchs, prophets, pease officers, and apostles, at once present themselves to the eye of the beholder. Animals and vegetable, fish, flesh, fowl of the air and monarch are grouped toe-ether t here spread a landscape, and there flows a river ; royal pageantry and republican simplicity stands entwined ; roonarens a no am. sans are found in close oommuuion, and the whole are so blended and intermixed so attracted and repeiied, that it form one of ths rarest scenes of " confusion worse confounded," of which we can woll conceive, and justly renders it ' " Tli glaring jet sad riddle of th world." ... Though there i in the country strong preju. dice against tbe African race, you will see in the House at least two Black members to one While one ; ana aitnougn amalgamation seems iw generally repudiated,, tbe presence of several Brown members, shows that that doctrine net not always prevailed. You will also- find in that Democratic body at least three King without a single lord or common. They have a Miller but uot a solitary sheaf of wheat, or shock of corn nothing to grind but one ruddy Cobb. They have a Parish but poother ecclesiastio than an Abbott, o that their only Crosier ia not put in requisi tion. Owen to the absence of bill there is but one solitary Dal terminating in an extensive Marsh, drained by the Hudson, and so well cul tivated that not a single branch and but one Hoot can be found therein ; but you may there see the Itanter mounted upon old Dobbin in full Chase, pursuing the Martins which fly and Carroll in the air. Hero too the Gentry may be seen re posing under the shade of a Ileid listening to the Harper, and regaling themselves with a glass of Ferry. In one respect they are well provided for thev have Wood and a Saiever to cut it up. 1 Ii members generally think well of their own powers, and yet there is in part but one Strong man in the Ilonse, and though they have several valuabh) men there is but.oue of Sterling Price. The House is well finished, having a Woodruff, with a single Leake in it, which could be easily stopped if their Wright was supplied with suita ble materials. It is literally a place of traffic in almost every quarter ofjhe House you may behold a Chapman, and yet a single Clarke per forms all thoir business. They bavo noise and confusion, laughter and merriment, approaching at time to a Yell, yet a stamp of the Foott or a jingle of the Dell will generally restore order ; but if this should fail the Constable stands ready to take them off to tbe Toombs. Many of the member are tall men, and yet there is but one that i strictly Long. There is also one Young member, but he cannot be deno minated Green. There seem to be a great want of adaptation of means lo ends. They have a Baker but one Hunt's in vain for an oven. They have numerous Smiths, without either hammer or anvil ; and although ibey agree to build navies sud man tbem too, they have but a single Sea. unmwi muhptaiM; uav'nig oeemnpiiled' by his parents, Seaborn. In relation to food ihero is a poor supply, having no fish but Pollock which Furies well when taken fresh from the water All this want of symmetry might naturally be ex pected in a benighted body, where they have on ly a Wick, without either tallow or oil. Whatever an impartial observer may think of the Representative of the people, one thingmust be obvious, viz: that tho members have mostly disappointed parental expectation, as exhibited by the names given to their children. Hannibal and Julius and the Alexanders evince no more military tact or prowess than others; nor dobs Washington stand forth the Father of his country, nor Jefferson the advocate of her independence. Luther is in favor of a "reformation," but he will effect a Severance of Church or State. Horace has not yet charmed us by bis poetry nor has Milton re trained Paradise. Augustus mav eftcouracrn ri. o -j- a j fa ence, but Columbus has made no discoveries un der his patronnca, Felix may and in fact does remble, but he is no more happy on that account. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have given us no pat riarchal laws. Moses has performed no miracles, Joshua crossed no Jordan, Daniel slew no Philis tine, and 'Solomon erected no temple to his mem ory. Samuel and David and Amos aro neither prophets nor the sons of prophets ; nor has Joseph a yet opened hi storehouse to his famishing brethren, i Elias has indeed come, but neither Andrew, nor James, nor John have showu any peculiar qualification for the apostletliip. Thorn. as remain in unbelief, and S'ejriien has not con sented to martyrdom. Paul has not thrilled tbe heart of Agrippa, nor inculcated trujh by any masterly epistles. I allude to these facts, not to disparage any of these gentlemen, but to show that lbs hopes and affections of parents often lead them astray, and that in this free country every one must stand on his own merits : 14 and let him that siandelb, take need lest he ialL" Ouvaa Olbschool. Tata oh't Dares, awn I wWt About ten years since, I was called upon to help one of my neighbors raise a bars frame, and after the hands were col I set ed, the rum bottle was passed, as was customary in those days, and after the men had drank, the rum was handed to some boys who were collected end looking on. They all took it except one h'ttle boy about seven years old, who refused to take any. He was urged very hard to Uts tittle, but all to no purpose.

Plessy, on abandoning lb banks of the Seine for the Neve, was accmpe nied by a gentleman on whom she had bestowed her band, M- Arnold, favorably known in the world of literature. It w but days since that the papers announced tbe departure of the newly, married coaole from Brussels for t, Petersburg h, hut the date of their. quitting that eity, we learn, was in reality considerably earner, aDd U in ac. count of the travellers, which we subjoin, be eor rsct (but which, it is only right to mention, is derived from the on dits of tbe theatre, a source not altogether remarkable for strict veracity.) it will be seen that tbey have not only reached the Russian teritory, but have already experienced a specimen of Northern hospitality the very reveres of agreeable to a pair of lovers on their first mat rimonial excursion. The tory, a perfect literary romance, ia told aa follow : On ths traveller arriving at the Rusian frontier, where, as all the world ia aware, a tiict surveillance is exercised, tbe tutboritie demanded their business. W are gofng to St Petersburg!!," was the reply. " Where are your passports !" MITe. Plessy (as we still love to call her,) pro duced he? engagement, duly signed and sealed by Guedenoff, with ilia approbation of the Em peror Nicholos. " All right, you may proceed," said the official ; and, torumg 40 Arnold j. !.'.Auu you, ait H . "I am this lady husband." " That is not sufficient," coldly returned the ofBeer. Bevidcs which, here is my pasport, signed by the Russian Ambassador in Londou." " A paseport granted in a foreign' country is perfectly satisfactory, at least wheu there is no order to the contrary, but that, unfortunately, occurs in tho present case, for I have a commu nication from St. Peterobuigh in v, Inch you are an interested party. "11 thai' strange." " ll is neverthless a fact I have here a format order which prevents your entering the Russian empire." "Prevents mW enlering Russia ! Me! fray, may I ask what reason is given for this step !'' "Reason : sin'u'Iar qticsi ion that. Do you im agina the Government of our glorious country has any explanation to give you. In our cuntry, sir, wc bow in silence to an imperial order, and your asking the question proves that you would be quite out of your element in Russia. Howev er, if you are curious on the matter, ask your own conscience; reflect a little. As a literary man, have you never made any malapropos remarks on absolu'.e'governincnts! Has' your name never figured in ibe ranks of opposition scribes ! Mind, these are mere conjectures on my part, for the or der contains nothing in the shape of explanation. I have no further observation to make, and must now request you to take farewell of the lady, and withdraw as soon aa possible. "Farewell!" exclaimed Mile. riessy.Mo you suppose I will abandon my husband 1 My duty is to follow him, and, if he is not permitted to en. ter the country, depend upon it I shall not, I will not go lo St. Petersburgli !" " Excuse me, madame," said the official, in his blandest lone, "excuse me, but you have put your foot in Russian territory, and you must remain." " What !" exclaimed the lady indignantly, "do you mean to detain me by force l'f " Most assuredly, madame," replied the inex orable man in office, for not lj .J!? Jne aJgSgk'wnic'u' is binding on yon 1 You are the properly of Russia for ten years. Your engagement must be fulfilled." It was in vain the young actress wept, entreat ed, and threatened by turns; for .the first time in her life, perhaps, her powers were exerted in vain. The barbarious Muscovite was proof against all, and persisted in the strict execution of his orders. The bereaved, desponding, and furious wife was, bon-gre malgre, reseated in her traveliog carriage, and started off in a gallop enraufe for St Peters burgh, whilst the unfortunate husband was con ducted under an escort to a certain distance from the frontier, with an admonition that if he again attempted to enter the terilories of the Emperor, he might probably make a longer journey than would be agreeable lo the deserts of biberia ! Showing WoKMa.-?-ThefoUow.ing statement is contributed to the Congregational Journal of Concord, N. H., by the Rev. I. S. Davis, brothor of the late Mayor of Boston. It details a mar vellous circumstance, if indued the whole matter be not a case of optical dnjueion : As I was returning from Piermont on Mon day, the 1st of December, I saw on the snow which had fallen during the night, what I'suppoj. ed to be oats, spread broad cast ; but noi"i?eing any track in the snow, for 1 was Ibe first that travelled the road after tho snow fell, my curios ity led me to descend from my carriageanj exam ine; when to my great surprise, I found that the objects I saw were living worms, 'about an inch long, lying on the top of the snow by hundreds ; and these were scattered along the road I travel led for a distance not less than five miles. I would say farther, that there were no trees near, from which the worms might have been shaken. and if there .had been, .and the worms had been on them, they would all have been frozen, for j it had been very cold, and the eround was frozen hard before the snow feH. The worms were afire, for tltey immediately coiled up when I took tbem ia my hand. They were of a brown color, with about 12 or 10 legs. ' . . J. 8. Davis. Wentworth, Jan. 20, 1843.' . To Mechanics. A roecliaoktal trade is justly considered one of the most certain mode of ob-' taining a comfortable subsistence, and he who ia in possession of one, if blessed with health, may with certainty become an independent man. So valuable is a trade considered by the Jews, that one of their atanding regulation is, that every man shall have one. In thin country the road to riches is open to the mechanic, equally with any other class. Every mechanic may, by a prudent use of hi savings, command all the comforts of life, od bring up bia family reputably. UrjBDin of NioaoKS. Th last Abbeville Banner, states that two Negroes, belonging to Gen. McDtTFTiE, were killed oa Friday, tbe 13th int by two other Negroes who were acting in tbe capacity or Driveti! It is said tbeir deaths were caused by severe chastise me ot for ihatten. tion to business. . This proves conclusively, what has pfteneea asserted before, that Negroes are more cruel to their fellow slave where they are entrusted with power over them, than white men are. Cofimiia Chronicle, r GREAT FIRE AT VICKSpURO. m ' ViCCTBUite, Saturday, Fubv M This morning, about daylight, a fire broke out In a frame building next to theriver, at lb foot of Jackson street, belonging to Judge Bodtey,and temporarily occupied by some elsves belonging to Mr. Vick, that were brought here to be shipped up the river to hie plantation.. Tbey hindled a fire Upon some earth that bad. been formerly planed there and on which a etove had stood, and it is supposed it eoeamonieatedl to the floor. It thencaugbtibe houses occupied by the Messrs. Dickerson, which were stored "with hsy aud corn ; snd from whence it communicated to tbe old building formerly occupied as the Whig office. It tk snraad to the commission vxareliouse of Mr. James Gwin, entirely consnming that andJ four adjoining frames ; then crossed wasnington street, and swept the buildings from the corner of Jackson to Maiu ; and from thence up Main Street to Walnut Mr Fraisse's brick building alone being saved. The north side of Main Street from Washington to Wa!nuJ is a heap of ruins, as well as the north sde of Walnut Street as far as the residence of Mrs Shock ney, which was consumed. The wind was very high at the time, and one half of the town would have been burnt but for the recent rain the roofs of the bouses being I very wei billing shingles and boards falling very thick over the whole of Springfield. A great deal of property has been destroyed, and many families in moderate' circumstances have lost j nearly their all. ' The losers were, Jarige Bod-ley thtce houses ; Mr. Chum, of Now Orleans, one : Mr. Armstrong I one ; store of Messr Aikin & Gwinn, belonging lo some one in Philadelphia ; Hactwell Vick'e rmfrrsvtenrt hwises ; planters Bank; one?

Dick inson and others their stock of stores.' Messrs. Field and Kk-in were the only parties whose property was insured, as far asVe know. Heart-Rending Accident -A most lamen table accident occurred ou our Levee last eve ning, by which a little girl, some 8 or 9 years of age, lost her life. She was tbe daughter of Dr. G unn, of LouiHville, Kr, who with his wife, was just leaving the steamboat Ben Frankln No. 7, about starling Mr the Unto niver. t he little girl, who was ahead of her parents, was crubhed lo the earth by a hogshead of sugar which a dray. man had just rolled from his dray In great liaste. She was deprived of all consciousness at once, although the breath 01 me ungerea in ner inuu latd form for hoursv The caso is one of the most heart-rending we have ever teen called on to record.

The young victim was all playfulnesa anfTviva city the moment before the accident in tho next moment, it reauired'a Hiother'a love to recognize har, and long after breath had left the body of the hapless child, the wailings of that mother were heard crying over one mai was not. An elder sister was uresent, too the wife of the clerk of the boat and ehe wae stricken by Uie cruel calamity whh an intensity of grief that for a whife bercfi her of reason. The little girl had been sinein? and nlavnii' upon a piano in the ca. bin for she waa a rare musician for a child of per8ge and had just departed from one who fell for her an affection no one but a sister knows. She had oaried frotn her while her guileless prattle and innocent mirth were yet fresh her gay carols were still ringing in that sister's ears; but a second elapsed and she was carried back, to fill ihe hearts of those she had so recently trladdened with mourninj. Time may in a moa. sure heal ihe wounds of those who have been thus sorely bruised, but to offer present consola tion would beJ'f "'' "" ' Tbe Washington correspondent of the Baltl more Patriot, in his letter of the 23d instant, says: Some of the Pennsylvania Tariff Demo crats' aro distrusting Mr. Polk and denouncing Mr. Walker at a great rale ! They are asked by the Whigs, why is it that this pure 'Demo cralic Administration is so anxious to get Con gress to legislate, for the gratification of tho To. ry Statesmen and Capitalists of England, if it really has no particular love for any thing but British? And they answer, with a sigh and al most with a groan, ' Oh, it does look as if Penn sylvania is to be betrayed !' They say they go for all Oregon, because it is all ours, and that Mr. Polk says it is all ours ! It puzzles them sorely to answer for him, why, if it is all ours, we are to purchase England's olaim, by breaking down our admirable Tariff, so that the spindles on our mountain streams, that give life,, activity and prosperity to labor, to agriculture and com merce, may be stopped, while those of Great Britcin may run with more velocity and more success ! They admit thare is a cat in ihe meal tub, and condemn the whole proceeding! They do not like the Jooks of the high Tory compli ment, paid by l lie British House of Lords to the British American Secretary of the Treasury, 'Sir Robert Walker,' aa they style him, in re-publishing and circulating, over this Kingdom of To ry subjects, that gentleman's free-trade Report ! When the Whigs say to them, Now, which is the British Parti, and who are catering- to the appetites of the British Lords and Dukes and Baronets,' they shake their heads and turn away in despair ! ti-. Modern ' Democracy' is a hoantiful thing to play upon ! How many have played high games upon it, and won ! But the great string of the instrument,- or rather Buncombe Machine, on which the Loco Focos have so long harped, Ihe declaration, that the Whigs were the British Party, has been broken. 'Sir Robert Walker has snapped it and the world sees who are, in this country, really and truly, the British Party I J'OTOMAC.
