" Ours' are the plans affair, delightful peace f
Unwarped by party rage; to live like brothers"
RALEIG H, N, C,
-SATURDAY MORNING; AUG. 26, 1854.
THE RESULT RE-CONSIDERED.
We must have done something yery wicked
in our past life to be visited as we are by so
much punishment. If;, in, ja political contest
we get beaten, it will not do to admit it honest
ly, in ever so few words. The more words we
nse the vforse tlie matter becomes. Were we
under the fame circumstances to bluster and
threaten.n all probability the same fate awaits
os ! W bat a dreadful life an Editor leads !
We were foolish enough to adopt the first
course, that is, we said in plain words that we
were beaten. It would not be listened to, friends
aDd foes united to overwhelm us. Let us try
the next, and instead of saying we were '"bat
tered, floored, routed, bruised and whipped," let
us withdraw those abominable expressions,
stand upright on our feet, and assuming a proud-
er and more defiant attitude, " shake the frag
ment of our blade above our head and shout vic
tory 1" Let. us say that tee battered, bruised,
and seriously damaged the locofoco majority to
the tune of over three thousand votes. We call
that a victory, not that it is immediately produc
tive of an j thing, but we would ask, what does
it indicate? Is it "a shadow which a coming
event casts before." It is. It indicates a
change in the political barometers of both par"
ties. This political barometer is no myth, or
creation of the imagination, it is an historical
fact. We will, illustrate. In the first contest
between Reid and Manly, the latter beat the
former by not more than eight hundred votes.
The Whig barometer was falling. In the next
contest of 1850, Gov. Reid got nearly three
thousand votes over the same adversary. The
democratic barometer was rising, and In the
contest with Kerr it rose to its highest, most
culminating, tip-topmost point of elevation, and
now in the order of things it declines ; the Whig,
consequently, rises. Both are subject to the
changes which affect all mundane things, but,
just now, as we have said, the democratic falls
and the Whig rises, so that after all, this "great
de mocratic victory " is not such a great thing
i There is nothing great op remarkable about
it, only in as much as it may be the last, and
since immortality confers a negative kind of
greatness it will be great .because it will be
immortalised as " the last democratic victory
In North Carolina." Mark it therefore with a
White stone, and in days to come, when through
exposure the white stone shall have become black,
men shall look at it and marvel, as men always
will, at the folly of their ancestors. Politicians
will consider it a rare political relic with as much
interest as Antiquarians would the skull of a
Han or Vandal, lamenting that its size and dirty
Condition will prevent its being placed in a
cabinet of curiosities.
i In the "Standard," we think it was, we saw
a long paragraph or two, in which the words
"fuse," "fusee," "fusion," "joining us" occur,
and something like a hint at the total annihila
tion, death, burial and oblivion of the Whig
party. Stopping merely for a moment to pay a
passing tribute to the brilliant specimen of
punning on the word fuse, which a careful ex
amination will reveal, we proceed to give a lit.
tie philosophy in our humble way on the "dis
solution" of parties, and the fusing and joining
together of incompatibles. lstly. Large politi
cal parties, between which the people are divi
ded, never dissolve. They may gradually
change, casting their skins as snakes do, but
they can never dissolve, because two such par
ties depend on each other mutually for exis
tence ; take away the excitement of opposition,
which is more than half their life, and both
must die. 2ndly. Principles, which are the di
viding lines between parties may become indis
tinct in color, and both parties may in time
adopt the same ; that indicates a decadence of
party clanship, a weakness and impending dis
solution not of one but of both. . Therefore
what affects one materially, affects both.
3dly. As to fusion. Parties never fuse until a
dissolution of both occurs, a very difficult mat
.ter tor bring about. While men hold firmly
what they believe to be a principle it is absurd
to talk to them of fusing with men who hold
differently. There must be a mutual surrender
and dissolution. So let us hear no more about
"joining," or about our ''confession in substance,
that the Whig party as a National party is no
more." It is simply' absurd in politics and
logic, and it is plain that if for the above rea
sons we cannot join you, we for the same rea
sons do not expect you to join us. Learn more
over that we shall exist just as long as you and
no longer; Your suicide alone can destroy us,
arid if your patriotism is so excessive that for
the sake of destroying us, you would, like so
many ijinnti Uurtit, immolate yourselves lor
your Country's sake, why then that "fusee"
miiy be of service.
One word more. When we consider the ad
option of distinctive Whig principles by the de
mocracy and vice versa, and when we see mea
sures passed by a United States democratic
Senate and Congress, which are vetoed by a
democratic President, we may infer that there
is incipient decay. The boundary lines of each
are becoming daily more and more indistinct,
and probably the day is not far off when a new
party shall ipring from both, taking new ground,
and holding the destiny of the nation for a while
in its hands till it clashes with another which
its own energy acid power shall animate and call
forth. We dan not speculate aa to the merits
til
nnui
ifthis, as yet unborn power. We can only
hope that its councils shall not be inspired by
human passion, that its acts shall never tarnish
the sublimest flag that floats, oopied from the
eternal stars that wrap the universe in light,
that it might be "a sign unto the nations" of
brotherhood and protection.
NEWS SCRAPS.
We give elsewhere the latest European news.
Accounts from the West say that the corn crops
will be a failure, from one fourth to three fourths
according to locality.
The Know Nothings are said to be achieving
triumphs in Texas. The Temperance vote has
increased largely also.
Madame Grisl and Sr. Mario have arrived in
New York.
The decision by the Lord Chancellor, in the
British House of Lords oh the Copyright ques
tion, is interesting and important to American
authors. ;
. A Correspondent of the N. O. Picayune says,
"Jnillien has returned to London from his-Ame-rican
tour, and he continues to look more like
a mountebank than ever. He occupies a con
spicuous box ia the opera bouse in London, and
constantly wears embroidered pantaloons, em
broidered waistcoat, embroidered coat, embroi
dered shirt sleeves, embroidered cuffs and fa
cings, an embroidered shirt, being a map of the
United States, with enormous malachitre but
tons, on each of which is engraved the name of
some American city he has visited. He boasts
he has given three hundred concerts and travel,
ed twenty-one thousand leagues in the New
World. Is it not rather surprising that a per
son of his Clients for he is said to have talents
should have such a flunkey's fondness for
gold lace ?" :
A number of counterfeiters have been arrested
in New York.
The number of cholera victims in Montreal,
Canada, is computed at from 1500 to 2,000.
A fire occurred at Chatham, C. W., destroying
a whole block of sto"?3 and a bridge aoross the.
Thames. Loss, 80,(00.
The "Angel Gabriel" has been arrested in
Charlestown, Mass., on a charge of disturbing
the peace, and was lodged in jail in default of
$300 bail. High time ihe was there.
Secretary Marcy is pn a visit to Berkeley
Springs.
Maysville, Ohio, has been the scene of a ter
rible explosion ; supposed to be the work of in
cendiaries. 1,100 kegs, or 27,000 pounds of pow
der were fired, breaking windows and shaking
houses for miles round ; and strange, though the
popula ion of the town is over 4,000, not a life
was lost. The damage dene to buildings in im
mense ; it will take probably $100,000 to put
everything, right.
JQ We are indebted to Dewitt Davenport fc
Co., for a copy of a new book entitled "Fifteen
Minutes AroundJNew York." By G. G. Foster,
author of "New York by Gas-Light," &c , &c.
The style of this writer is fluent and agreea
ble, his powers of description are good and some
of his chapters highly amusing. That is all
we can say in his favor. In our very humble
opinion the less such books are circulated the
'etter. They cannot be read without injury,
and one improper chapter is sufficient to damn
any book.
We take great pleasure in announcing
the appointment of Mr. Wm. Sandford to the
post of chief operator in the Telegraph office of
this city. A good public appointment is a
public benefit. ' ?
COTTON STATISTICS.
Among the leading agricultural products of
the United States are Cotton, Indian Corn, and
Tobacco. They may be said to exercise a vast
influence over the fortunes of mankind.
The Cotton trade amounts to millions of dol
lars in the aggregrate per annum, and it gives
employment to thousands and tens of thousands
of human beings not only in the Old World but
the New. It at present, perhaps, constitutes
the greatest bond of peace between Great Brit
ain and the United States. The Southern
States, of the American Union produce by far
the largest portion of the cotton that is grown
throughout the world, while England is the
leading purchaser and manufacturer. At every
symptom of discord between the two countries
the cotton spinners as well as the cotton grow
ers became alarmed. Hence, too, the extraor
dinary efforts that have been made of late years
to discover some substitute for the American
product. The Board of Trade of Manchester
have expended large sums of money in efforts
of this kind, but thus far with little success
comparatively speaking. A few years since
they engaged a highly accomplished gentleman,
Alexander Mackay, Esq., to visit the East In
dies and ascertain, if possible, if any portion of
the British possessions in that section of the
world could be made more available for the
cotton culture than at present, so as to com
pete with the United States. Mr. Mackay was
eminently qualified for the task, having some
time before visited the United States and resid
ed for a considerable period south of the Poto
mac. He immediatelysetforwardon his mission,
and succeeded in collecting much valuable in
formation, but unfortunately died on his way
home. His papers were subsequently collected
and given to the world, but they were in a condi
tion so imperfect that the results were far from
satisfactory. The relations between the United
States and Great "Britain have of late years been
so friendly that the' apprehensions of English
manufacturers have measurably subsided, and
although the hope of discovering a substitute
for American cotton has not been wholly aban
doned, the prosecution of the enterprise has in
some sense been postponed. Meanwhile the
cotton culture of the United States goes on as
extensively as ever; The earliest record of an
exDort of cotton from this country is dated 1757i
when seven bags were shipped from Charleston.
Thus, then, in less than one hundred years the
trade has increased to millions of bales per an
num. A curious feature in the history of this
fabric is that in 1784, or a little more than half
a century ago, a shipment of seventy-one bags
of cotton was made from this country to Edz-
land, and on its arrival it was seized by the
authorities on the ground that America could
not produce a quantity so great. The average
annual yield for the five years ending 1853 was
estimated at 1,000.035 bales -t the' average yield
for the same period ending in 1840 was 1,440,
000 bales ; and the average annual yield for
the like period which terminated in 1850 was
2,270.000 bales. The total product for 1853
was 3,262,882 bales. In this connexion the fol
lowing comparative statement Of the growth
will be regarded with interest:
1824 569.249 hales.
1834 1,254,338 bales.
1844 2,;594,503 balrs.
1853 3,262,882 bales.
The consumption for the last year named may
be thus divided "
Export to Great Britain
Do France
Do North of Europe
Do other foreign ports
Retained for home use
1,736.860 bales.
426,728 bales.
171,176 bales.
671,009 bales.
671.009 bales.
These facts exhibit results of a truly extraor
dinary character. They possess the more in
terest from the circumstance that cotton is not
indigenous to this country, and that the first
seed was brought over little more than a centu
ry ago. The seed of the Sea Island cotton was
originally obtained from the Bahama Islands
in the year 1785. It was first cultivated on
Skidaway Island, near Savannah; The great
impulse, however, that was given to the culture
was. by the discovery of Whitney's cotton gin.
After that period its growth increased at a
most extraosdinary rote. At this moment, as
already observed, the cotton culture and manu
facture give employment to thousands and tens
of thousands of human beings not, only in the
New World but the Old. There is! scarcely an
individual in civilized society who is not partly
clothed with cotton. It is one of the most use
ful of the many products of nature, iand has evi
dently been given by Providence for the espe
cial advantage of man. Philadelphia Enquiry.
SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT ABDUCTION
IN IRELAND.
For years past no event of anon-political cast
has created greater excitement than the adven
turous attempt of the Lord of Barnane to pos
sess himself, by means beyond the pale of the
law, of a bride endowed with all those requi
sites, personal and pecuniary, which are but so
frequently irresistible for the philosophy of the
Celtic temperament. A local paper ( Tlperary
Free Press) gives the following full account of
the outrage :
: For some time past Miss Arbuthnot, daugh
ter of the late Mr. George Arbuthnot, of Elder
slie, Surrey, has been on a visit to her sister,
who is married to the Hon. George S. Gough, the
son and heir of the hero of Sobraon, and who
reside. at Rathronan house, distant about two
miles from Clonmel. This young lady, who is
reported to be the possessor of a large fortune,
has had several admirers in this part of the
country, to none of whom, rumor says, has she
given any countenance. Among them was Mr.
John (Jarden, Justice of the Peace, and Deputy
Lieutenant of Barnane, Templemore, a gentle
man of considerable property, and held in
general esteem throughout the locality where
he resided, and he, too, is said to have shared a
similar fate a fact that seems corroborated by
the singular and extraordinary proceedings
with which he subsequently became connected
ua ounaay last, sxxt. iaraen was on a visit
in this neighborhood, having breakfasted at
Hearn'a Hotel, in this town, he proceeded to
Kathronan Lauren, where ne attended service,
at which Miss Arbuthnot and her sister, the
Hon. Mrs. Gough, were present. From the de
meanor of Mr. Garden during the performance
of the ceremony no clue could be had to his in
tention, aa we have heard he was most atten
tive and collected during its continuance.
While the congregation was in church
groom was observed leading a very handsome
pair of horses along the road a carriage, too,
was stationed a short distance off, to which a
pair of thoroughbreds were harnessed, and six
strange men were noticed as loitering about,
having apparently no particular business in
the neighborhood. Miss Arbuthnot and her
sister, bad driven to church on an outside car,
and to the fact of a shower of rain that had fal
len, and to the care of her coachman, who re
turned to Rathronan house, for a covered car,
may she attribute her escape from being borne
away by her disappointed admirer. ,
When church service was at an end, Mr. Car
den was observed to walk towards the horses,
and to carefully examine the housings, &c,
looking to the tightness of the girths and the
freedom of the reine. At the same; time the
strange men were observed to draw near to the
churchyard gate, and in a short time Mrs.
Gough'a car made its appearance. In it there
were but the two ; sisters the Hon. Captain
Gough being at present in Dublin. Most for
tunately for Miss Arbuthnot she sat furthest
in the car, which, when passing Mr. Carden,
was stopped by one of his men, and he himself
rushed to the door and attempted to seize the
lady. She screamed loudly and struggled hard
against him, and her cries immediately brought
including some of the retainers at Rathronan,
to her assistance several ot the congregation, j
who stoutly battled for the sister of their lady
A determined and serious conflict then ensued.
Mr. Carden and his men were all armed with
pistols and "skull crackers" the defendants
with sticks, stones, and such other available
weapons as chance th rew in their way ; most
fortunately no shot was fired in the encounter.
and some severe bruises are the only mishaps
resulting from the anray. While Mr. Carden
held Miss Arbuthnot in his arms he was struck
down by a blow of a stone inflicted by a young
man named M'Grath, and then seeing they were
becoming overpowered by numbers, which were
every moment increasing, Air. Carden s men
covered his retreat to the carriage, Captain
Gough's car, with its fair inmates, who were
half dead with terror, having in the meantime
driven off to Rathronan,) which he entered, and
two men having mounted the saddle horses the
party set off at a speed that seemed to defy
pursuit, leaving the defenders to wonder at the
daring which prompted the attempt, and the
fortunate escape of the young lady, whose liber
ty Was thus threatened.
j Measures were now taken to secure the fugi
tives, and dispatches were at once sent off to
this, town and to Cashel ; Mr. G. J. Goold, R
M., Mr. W. Fosbery, S.I., and a party of po
lice, in all haste to Rathronan, and Air. Fos
bery, with his accustomed activity, departed
with some mounted constables in pursuit. The
steward of Rathronan had given information to
the Cashel police, and Sub Inspector M'Cul
lagh had given chase before Mr. Fosbery ar
rived in that city. This officer, with three
mounted police, galloped at top speed for a
dozen miles without drawing bridle rein; but such
was the rate at which Mr. Warden's carriage had
gone, that, although it had not more than an
hour's start, it would have distanced its pursu
ers if the pace had not told on the horses, and
the bad state of the roads contributed to tire
thtm. However, when nearing Farney Castle,
the officers oame in sight of the object of their
searcn, ana me ouD-inBpector witn his men,
dashed torward. Air. M Cuuagb at once sen
ed the horses' heads, and ran them into a ditch
. while tha conatabks drew theic swords, and pre-
pared for the encounter. Two men lumped
from the dickey of the carriage and showed
fight, but one was immediately knocked heels
oyer head by the flat edge of a sabre. Any re
sistance on the part of the pursued was speedi
ly terminated py the fact that a police barrack
was within ai-stone's throw of where they were
overtaken, and the force having turned Out to
the aid of their comrades, Mr.. Carden and his
men surrendered, were disarmed, and marched
prisoners to Cash el.
A six-Darrelled revolver, a double1 barrelled
pistol, and a life preserver, were taken from the
person of Mr.-Carden, who now proceeded qui
etly with his (paptors. When the carriage was
turned back o Cashel, one of the horses, a
beautiful marfe, worth 150, dropped dead. The
most exagerated rumors of the affair were circu
lated in Cashel, and the greatest excitement pre-
vanea mere, ;jnr. M Uullagh arrived with his
prisoner late in the eveninz. and. having
lodged him securely, he was on Monday morn- j
ing conveyed to uionmel and brought to the
police office, whence he was committed by Mr.
Goold, R. M., to stand bis trial for attempted
forcible abduction. Mr. Carden was conveyed
in his carriage to the county gaol, where he
was given into the custody of the governor.
He leaped lightly from the vehicle, and walked
wnn a nrm step into the prison. He wore a
cap, and over the left ear and on his neck were
apparently seyere wounds, covered with plas
ter. A large crowd was collected round the
prison door, arid the women especially express
ed their sympathy with him, as one who loved
"not wisely but too well."
Under the direction of the local inspector.
the Rev. James Morton, every care has been
taken to provide for the comfort of the unfor
tunate gentleman. He is located in the room
occupied by Mr. Smith O'Brien, when a State
prisoner in Cloomel. in the immediate vicinitv
of the hospital, where he will receive every at
tention that his condition requires. His port
manteau being; first opened in presence of the
governor, was directed to be given him, and
Mr. Strahan, it is known, will do all in his
power towards rendering his confinement as
little irksome as possible, pending an applica
tion for bail to the Court of Queen's Bench.
We chanced to be present, the other day,
when Washington Irving took up the defence
of the memory pfTom Moore. So note-worthy
an outpouring ajs it was, of a generous and gen
ial nature properly eloquent in defence of the
friend with whom he had exchanged cordiali
ties, and over whose grave he would not, there
fore, see an ill weed grow unplucked we wish
ed, at the time,' that the summer wind would
play reporter and tell the world of it. The
subject was started by Irving's being rallied on
having been such a Brummel, while in London,
as to have servgd Moore for a model in diess
as appeared byja passage in one of his letters,
giving directions to his publisher to look up Ir
ving's tailor to make him a coat.
" Ah," said Geoffrey, with one of his genial
lightings-up of the face still handsome, "that
was owing to the mere chance of Moore's hav
ing been with me, one morning, when I went
into Nugee's. And I have often thought of it
since, by the way, as a curious instance of the
bringing together of opposite classes in Eng
land. We were strolling down St. James street,
and Moore just stepped in with me while I or
dered a coat. Seeing that Nugee did not know
him, I stepped between the two, and said, "real
ly, gentlemen, two such very distinguished men
ought to know each other I Mr. Nugee, this is
Mr. Thomas Moore Mr. Moore, Mr. Nugee !"

ward, bowing almost to the ground in his ex
cessive humility, and could not find words
enough to express his sense of the honor of
such an introduction. He was delighted with
it too, and thanked me warmly for it, afterwards.
"Good creature !" he said of Moore, "good crea
ture 1" using the phrase very popular in Lon
don at that time, to express great admiration.
Yes," (continued Irving, musingly,) "there was !
that tailor, worth a magnificent fortune, and
he would come to your lodgings, with the coat
he had made, to try it on ! I remember his
flattering way of looking at me, and expressing
his interest when I called upon him on my re
turn from, the Continent, to order something.
"Not looking quite so well, my dear Sir, not
quite so well ! Take care of yourself, dear Mr.
Irving ! pray, take care of yourself! We can't
spare you yet I" And bis look was full of the
tenderest sympathy.
"But they do Moore the greatest injustice in
denying him a sincere affection for his wife.
He really loved her and was proud of her
know it," continued Irving very emphatically.
"W hen we were at Paris together, I used to go
out and breakfast with him, and most delight
ful those breakfasts were ! And I remember
being with Moore" when his friends Lord and
Lady Holland had just arrived ; and Lady Hol
land told Tom they were coming out the next
day to breakfast, jand she wished particularly to
see little Bessy. i"They shall have the break
fast," said his wife when he told her, "but they
wont see little Bessy I" She said it very archly,
but with the posifiveness of an habitual inde
pendence, for she; would not be patronised by
Sre!f folkfi!. Mbore admired this, though he
uoou iu oujr iii was quue ueyonu wnat ne Was
capable of, himself. But she did yield to him
occasionally and go out with him to parties
once particularly exciting her husband's great
est administration, by the way her quiet and
self possessed manner completely baffled the
condescession of Lady Lansdowne. Her La
dyship had intended to be excessively cordial ;
but the simple way in which "little Bessy" took
it as a matter of course, turned the balance of
dignity altogether. Moore spoke of itdelighted
ly afterwards. Oh, they have cruelly misrep
resented that man ! He was an honorable,
high minded fellotv, and, in some trying money
matters, particularly, he showed the greatest
disinterestedness jlnd liberality. He has been

Thus vindicatorily of his friend, spoke the
just and kind Geolfrey Crayon, a day or two
since ; and we areglad to record it while 'the
dark wing of the poet's renown is uppermost.

. IOWA ELECTION.
St. Louis, Friday, Aug. J8.
The Burlington,; (Iowa) Telegraph says that
Grimes, Whig, is elected Governor of Iowa by
4,000 majority. T.he House is Whig, and the
Senate is doubtful.
The New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier says : Solon Borland of Ar
kansas, is destitute! of a particle of discretion,
is something of a braggart, and fulfils his' des
tiny in eternally getting into rows. His fight
with Senator Foote. in Washington, and the pit
iful nose wrebcbing he gave Mr. Kennedy, of
the Census Department, were not very brilliant
trophies of his Legislative career. Mr. Borland
was once a physician, and if he maltreated hie
patients, as he baa made botch-work of every
official act of his life, there need be no surprise
that he relinquished an honorable profession

NORTH CAROLINA COPPER MINK. '
Frequent applications . are made to us as to
the condition of the Fentress Mine. To answer
these enquiries we publish extracts from letters
received a follows, to-wit :
Froh James Sloan, dated
Greensboro', July 25, 1854.
"Yesterday I visited the Mine, and found all
things working on smoothly, and from the basty
examination I gave the Mine, I see nothing to
discourage, but on the contrary much to en
courage. I do'greatly desire to see a Commit
tee appointed by the Stockholders, visit the
property, and put a stop to the ruinous sales
made by most share holders."

From the Sake, Dated
August 5, 1854.
" Yesterday was pay day at the North Caro
lina Mine. All things went off smoothly and
satisfactorily. I am greatly elated at the pros
pects the vein west is. four feet, with twelve
inches of pure Copper ore, pieces of half a ton
not unusual to be seen, thrown out at a blast,
the vein increasing at every stroke of the pick."

"The North Carolina Copper Mine. I am
informed by Mr. Wilder, is looking fine."
Signed, JAMES SLOAN.
From E. B. Wilder, Esq.., Sdperrintendent.
Greensroro', Aug. 7, 1854.
"I am happy to inform you that our mine is
looking better than I have seen it for the last six
teen months. The portion that has improved
within the last four days is our western line,
twenty five fathoms deep. The vein is good
four feet wide of ore and one foot of it in width
is solid, the other three feet is most excellent
work for our crusher.
Our ten fathom level west towards the shaft
by the frame house, known as the "Smith
shaft" has not improved as much as I anticipa
ted when you were here, but the indications
are as good, as I could wish to see apart from
the ore itself, from our twenty-five fathom ley
el. We can now, as it is, take out more ore in
one day, than we could three weeks since in
four days.

We are permitted to take the following ex

" The Fentress or North Carolina Mine, will
astonish Wall Street at no distant day. Its
prospects are certainly very flattering."

Death of a Murderer. The Chickasaw In
telligencer, published in an Indian nation, and
edited by aa Indian, gives the following ac
count of the death of the Indian Leouakah
alias Polecat, alias Morgan, the last survivine
murderer of Messrs. Stem and Leppleman.
Morgan, pursued by his tribe, travelled two
hundred miles to the tent of a distant broth
her, which he entered at night, and in reply to
inquiries propounded to him, repeated a truth
ful narration of bis crime, pursuit and escape
iiis orotner neara trie tale, reminded him o
former admonitions, and requested him to pro
mise to surrender himself to justice. He refus
ed, and in a few moments fell dead, by the hand
of a man noble enough to sacrince even a broth
er upon the hallowed altar of public justice.
We regret that we have not his name, that it
might be inscribed on the altar at which he
worshipped, in golden letters, to be read and
revered by the votaries of Roman fame. Here
doubtless, many are prepared to smile at the
comparison between an American Indian and
an ancient Roman ; but we will ask those fond
of pursuing such questions, wharein did the an
cient Romans, of the time of the elder Brutus,
for instance, display better moral traits and
qualities than the Kickapoos ? Was it their
religion, their morals, their social institutions,
or form of government ? Some weeks ago a
man was sent into Fort Arbuckle, who stated
that this murder was the result of a premedita
ted plan by two Kickapoos besides Okeyot and
Morgan. He said that he did not know their
names, but could identify them. All the tribe
but two the suspected ones were then assem
bled, and the absentees being sent for again, were
said to have fled.
Lova and Soiciob. On the 13th instant, at
Carlisle Barracks, Pa., a solder named Thomas
Laforce, a German, belonging to the band of the
second infantry, was discovered lying dead in
a cornfield, in the immediate vicinity of the
garrison. From letters found on his person, it
was ascertained that he committed suicide from
being disappointed in love. Here is ah. extraeu
" Seeing a certain lady, and struck by her
extraordinary beauty, I feel that she could make
me happy but, alas 1 she does not love me.
. ."You will ask, perhaps,. who the lady is 1
It is Miss F , who makes me melan

LIPPITT'S SPECIFIC.
FOR THE CURE OF
Dysentery, Diarrhoea, and Summer Complaint.
N presenting this justly celebrated Medicine to
ttie public, we make no rash assertions of its
iricacy, nor is any hope held out to the afflicted,
which '' do not warrant.
This remedy having been, for years, used in this
place, tor the cure ol the above diseases, and those
appertaining to the same class, the Proprietor has
been induced to otter it on a more extensive scale,
with a view to lessen the amount of human suffer
ing. 1 have never known it to tail, when the JJl-
rections were strictly adhered to.
Many useless nostrums have been palmed upon
the public, and I hesitated for some time, until
thoroughly convinced of its efficacy.

Extract of a letter received from S. J. Carroll :
Baltimore, Jan. 10th, 153.
Wm. H. LtrpiTT, Esq., Dear Sir: I have no
hesitation in saying that your Specific is one of the
best Aledicines extant for Dysentery, Diarrhrea, &c.
You possibly may recollect my case ; ii it has es
caped your memory, I will give you briefly the
acts. 1 had tried everything that 1 had seen used,
but with littld success. And after using enough to
start twenty-five Homeopathic M. D's., I began to
espair, when you kindly ottered me your invalua
ble Aledicine, which cured me effectually.
Your truly, S. J. CAKKOLL.

Wm. II. Lippitt, .Esq., Dear t?ir : I have used
your speciiic in two cases in my lamily lor Dysen
tery. In one, a spooutul etfected a complete cure
m'the other, three had the like effect.
Respectfully, &c, THOS. LORING,

Wm. H. Lippitt, Esq., Dear Sir : It is with plea
sure I state that I have used your Specific for the
cure of Dysentery, Diarrhcea, &c, and have lound
it to produce tne desirea enect in every case 1 used
after the usual remedies have- faded. I recom
mend it with confidence to the public.

Mr.Wm. H. Lippitt, Dear Sir: It is with plea
sure 1 actnowleage the wonoelul eflects ol your
Medicine for curing Diarrhcea or Bowel Complaint,
as I am satisfied it was the means, under God, of
saving the life, first of my child, and then of my
brother. As my brother was given up by two of
the most eminent physicians in this place, Drs.
Richardson and Wregg ; and when I consulted the
latter, as to the propriety of trying it on him so
low, he said I might, to satisfy myself that 1 hao
left nothing untried, but he did not think that med
icine would beof any use to him. But, thank God,
he was mistaken, as we saw the salutary effects in
2-1 hours, and in ten days he was able to be out of
bed.
I remain yours, very truly and gratefully.

ONE VOLUME, 8vo,-pp. 450, . -With
Map of the Society and Sandwich Islands; and
Twelve Elegant Illustrations taken by the Au-
thor fro n Actual Observation. r v
THIS work comprises the personal' adventures
of the author in the Pacific, 'which extend o- t
ver a period of five years. It is divided Into Three " v "
Parts, to which is subjoined a valuable and inter- -
esting Appendix - J . .-
Part 1., which may be regarded as Introductory
to the narrative that follows, records a six months ?
experience on board an American whaler. In rela '
ting which, the details of ship duty,' usually tmin-.;:
teresting, have been studiously avoided ; -while a ;
combination of incidents, serious and humorous,
presented In attractive form, impart an air of ro
mance to the otherwise sombre shadows of the .
forecastle. i v ... if, , J
Parts IL and III., containing the more material - .
subject of this narrative, give a. graphic descrip '
tion of a free-and-easy life at the SandwJch theV' "i
Georgian and Society Islands." Glowing descrip1 "
tions of romantic scenery, rambles through palm- s'
groves, yachting among isles, coralines from reefs f
and lagoons, evergreen valleys, snow-capped 7
mountains and volcanoes, transport, in imagina- i H
tion, the reader to the azure skies and sweet seen- -ted
gales of the tropics: Points of character have i-
been sketched in bold outline, and the lights and
shadows of Polynesia life are vividly portrayed ;
embracing the feasts and past-times of the natives,
their Battles mythology, and all the more promi
nent features, of semibarbaric life . An Interes- .
ting chapter on Missions has also been appended,
and though the whole plot is presented in a fasci
nating dress, it will be found choice alike in eenti- '
ment and diction. It is believed, therefore, that
in connection with the Appendix and Illustrations ;
it will prove a valuable addition to our literature
of the Pacific. ,
With respect to the Appendix, its first portion is
"Glance at the Present Condition of Polynesia,"
exhibitinK, in a concise form the geography, and
classification of groups their structure, 'natural
productions, population, physical appearance and
intellectual capacity of the natives their habits
and language government and social oonditiona
resources and re.ations with the civilized world, -and
steam navigation of the Pacific in short, ev- -ry
thing of interest pertaining to this division of
Oceanica. -
Appendix IL, "The Island Kingdom of the Nortk
Pacific," is a comprehensive glance at the geog
raphy, resources and commerce of the Sandwich,,
Islands, including elaborate statistics of their im-
poi ts, exports, revenue, census, &c also th
subject of their annexation to the United States
has been considered. '
Appendix III., "The French in the Pacific.w
commences with the conquest of the Marquesas
Islands, by Du Petit Thouars, in 1842, including
an account of the occupation of the Georgian,
Gambier, Paumotu, and Wallis Islands, also the '
seizure of New Caledonia in 1858. This relates
chiefly to the Tahitian Islands, the capital of the -
French possessions in this ocean,- showing the 11- '
tiuei ai puuujr maunesuw uj mat. nation miw re
lations with natives and foreigners, more espec
ially the Jbngnsh Mission, since the dethronement
of Queen Pomare in 1848. It includes the Pert
and Police Regulations of Tahiti ; remarks upon
the Naval and Land forces and public improve
ments. An allusion is also made to the decline of
the commercial prosperity of these Islands, sinot
the establishment of the Protectorate, as evidenc
ed by comparing the former with the present coa-
uiuvu wi men rauurvea. -- .. - ,
Appendix IV., "American Whaling Interests in
the Pacific," includes statisticts pertaining to this
great maritime branch of our commerce. Whal-,
ing is classified and cruising grounds are described :
reference is also made to the relation of this fleet .
to that of our merchant marine, and to the condi
tion of American seamen in this ocean, their rela
tions to masters and consuls, and their wants;'
In illustration of the above, it will contain a Man
of the Sandwich, and one of the Georgian and So
ciety Islands ; also twelve elegant tinted engravings '
ol scenery tn the fouth Seas, in the execution of -which,
aristocratic merit, and a faithful delineation '
of the original views taken by the author on the
spot, have been equally sought. For Sale by -
