"Thus," says a spirited wri vlter, "the tragedv of the 16th. closing with the catastrophe of the IStb, the army of the South ; become a second time nearly annihilated." - To ' this unbroken succession of reverses to our arms, it must be added . that the resources of North Carolina to meet the impending danger, had .. oeeo greaiiy unpairea oy tne events oi toe war. . A large number of her people, dispirited and broken down in health by service the two pre ceding years in the low and insalubrious sec tions of Sooth Carolina and Georgia ; her trea sury, and military supplies exhausted in the . maintenance of these and other expeditions ; all her continental troops, and more than a thou sand of her militia, made prisoners at the sur render of Charleston, and paroled, and yet in the hands of the enemy, more than five hundred men, including some of the most popular and influential officers, taken at the battle of Cam den, and now in confinement at St. Augestine. 1 These are circumstances not to be overlooked in estimating the appalling nature of the crisis and the merit of a brave resistance. ' . There was no impediment to the onwara pro gress of Lord Cornwallis except the want of supplies, which he impatiently awaited at Cam den. His road to Charlotte, the capital of Meck lenburg county and the first point of hia destin ation, lay parallel to tho great rivers of the country and crosses the side boundary upon an Imagi nary line. In the absence of maps, so much of gec-graphy as may be necessary to com prehend the movements which we shall describe nay be comprised in a few words.' The" Broad and Catawba rivers are the chief tributaries of the Santee, and the Yadkin of the Pedee, parallel streams, rising in the mountains of North Caro lina, and running southwardly to the ocean in South Carolina. . The Cape Fear pursues a like course, but is wholly in North Carolina', its head rV t j water being the leep and llaw orSaxaphaw ! " rV., " rivers." The Saen is the bedstream of the Roa- - noke, and at our points of reference is coursing' from west to east, nearly with the line ef divis ion between North Carolina and Virginia. But .there is an episode to our narrative, before pur suing the march of the' invading army. The disastrous tidings of the fall of Charleston, sped rapidly through the country, bringing gloom to . the jeart of the patriot, cheerfulness and joy to the royalist, and inclining ihe wavering and ir-: . resolute to the course of royalty.' Early in June, 5 the militia of the counties of Alecklenburg and Rowan, comprehending the region between the Yadkin and Catawba, who had so early and so - constantly signalized their "devotion to liberty, were ordered out under Brigadier General liuth rford,' to oppose the triumphal march of the British General. Scarcely had thev assembled at the place of rendezvous, about ten miles north-; east of Charlotte, when intelligence arrived of the assemblage of a body of loyalists at 11am- I sour's mills some forty miles distant, beyond the j Catawba, in the county of Tryon; and within j iew of the present village of Lincolnton. Un-I 'willing to weaken the force he had gathered to j impede the advance of the British army, Geoer- j al Rutherford dispatched orders to Col. Francis Locke, of Rowan, and other faithful officers, to ' collect tne. available lorcoot their several neigh borhoods, and suppress the insurrection at the earliest practicable moment. It appeared that one John Moore, of the county of Tryon, (now Lincoln,) who had joined the enemy in South Carolina the preceding winter, bad recently re turned, dressed in a tattered suit of British uni form and a sword, and announced himself lieutenant colonel in the well-known reeimentl of North Carolina Loyalists, commanded bv Col . James Hamilton, of Halifax. . lie brought de- 1 tailed accounts of the tieue and surrender f! Charleston, and an authoritative message from Lord Cornwallis that he would march into that section as soon as 'the then ripening harxests - were gathered, so as to afford a support for his army. Very soon, therefore, Major Nicholas Welsh, of the same vicinity, who had been in the British service for eighteen months, and bore a Major's commission in the same regiment sdso returned, with splendid official equipments and a purse of gold, which was ostentatiously " displayed to his admiring associates, with artful - speeches in aid of the cause he had embraced. . H9 also gavt the first information of Buford's retreat, and represented that all resistance on the part of the Whigs would now be honelAsa "Under these leaders, then, was collected, in a '- few days, a force of thirteen hundred men ; who were encamped in an advantageous position, . 'preparatory to- their being marched to effect a juncture with the British n South Carolina. c, -CoUnel Locke, and the other officers who had 'received the orders of General-Rutherford, aJ Tready referred to, proceeded to" execute them with the utmost alacrity and promptitude. In Ias tbannre aays tney levied their several quotas, and crossing the Catawba at rarious 1 fords, effected a junction, within sixteen miles . ot the camp qt the royalists, on the 19th of June, with three hundred and fifty men.- At sunrise the next mornin, with this unequal force, and withopt any chief commander, or understood ar rangemenU of battle,' except that three compa nies of horse, which constituted their cavalry, should go in fronVthsy. assaulted the camp f V v; - .'jr'Jf ' .

' It is a remarkable omission, in the history of the" war of the revolution, that no author neith er MarshalU Lee Ramsay, Bottsor any other' that I have consulted makes mention ef this important battle of Rams or 's Mill. Tbe only intelligible record of it, iu tzlaxso, was publish ed n the newspapers of North Carolina thirty years siace and has been' copied by Mr. VheeK er in his receut collection of materia hutnrtca of North Carolina.' 'It1s likewise noticed by Mr. Lossipg in his recent work, the "Held Book of the X Revolution' For daring courage on the part of the whig assailants, considering that the enemy out-numbered them in the proportion of five to one, and had great advantage in position, it is surpassed by lew events of the war ; and as a chastisement and a check opon the rising and excellent spirit of the loyalists over the recent disasters to our arms in South Carolina, the re sult was of the same nature, and almost equal, in its salutary effects, to the victory of Caswell and Lillington, at Moore's Creek, four years pre ceding. I have failed, earlier, to mention that Colonel Locke and his brave associates, after resolving to engage the enemy, despatched a messenger to carrr this information to General Rutherford, and requested his co-operation, if possible ; but did not make his compliance a preliminary to their attack ; and that this officer having heard of the retirement of the British forces from Tren ton to Camden, had, without knowledge of tbe intentions of Locke, crossed the Catawba, with the purpose ef himself, dispersing the tories at Ramsour's, and arrived with his brigade on the battle field about two hours after the retreat of the enemy. Had the assault been postponed for this brief space, the victory would doubtless have been more complete, and possibly many of the gallant dead would have boon snared to encoun ter the invading Briton, trained for the conflict by this first essay in arms. Gen. Rutherford, in the sucseeding month, joined Gen. Gates, ia command of a brigade of militia, and in the defeat at Camden, on the loth of August, was wounded, and taken prisoner by the enemy ; and, therefore, doe not appear in the ensuing campaign. ' The determination of Gen. Gates not to at te nipr to rally Lis routed army short of Hills borough, which is near the centre of North Carolina, and moro than twohudred miles from Camden, was an entire abandonment of one half .of the State to the depredationrfof the eaeuiv. pi : - . I . . . m . . . - , . auis is meutioneu wun regret, Dy uec, in nis memoirs of tho war in the South, on account ef the distanee between the Yadkin and Catawba, on whose efficiency and devotion to the patriot cause he pronounced a high eulogiuin. With the British in front, andthe tories within strik ing distance both on its right and left, the con test now became in that section, a war jiro aris et fads, with no immetliate resources for its protection but those furnished by iuelf, and those greatly diminished by the melancholy events to which allusion has been already inadi-. But the spirit of the country did not forsake it in this trying hour, and it was perhaps fortun ate that the British army, in its first inroad into the State, was to encounter a people of such un shaken resolution and activity in the gloom which over-spread the southern country. Mr. Graham spoke at considerable) length, and, and gave aa exceedingly detailad account of all the events which took place during the re volutionary war in North Carolina. The paper will be a valuable addition to the records of the country. V. 1' Expre. The folks at Detroit must have had a juicy timo of it, sitting at the play with the rain drip ping on them. We clip the following from tho Free Press of 29th December : "A Scene not Announced. During the per formance of Richard the Third, at our theatre, on Monday night, the rain dropped through the roof of the building over the stage and over the pit, causing'a little confusion among the actors, and some merriment in the audience. While Richard was calling loudly for that horse," some wag in the pit, raising a parachute, sung out, u perhaps this umbrella would answer." The abovereminds us of an accident of a similar juicy character which happened up at our Drury" on the sand hill, several years ago. The " Thalians" were deep in tragedy one even ing, and the large audience were more or lesTl affected by the " thrilling" scenes, of course. SomoVnthusiastie youthful members of the so ciety declared that the feeling hearts of one or two young Ladies in the boxes welled up as it were in tears to their eyes. The man who "did the heavy business," i.e., principal tragedian, elated with success, spread himself, and sent his hoarse and sepulchral tones ominously all over the house, aud was carrying every thing before him, when drip, drip, drip, a young del uge came down from the gallery on the bonnet of one of the fair lookers on, and tho tears of tho audience quickly gave way to jolly laugh ter as tho Lady's beau, with a presence of mind not to bo excelled, gravely raised an umbrella, and protected her from the descending shower. A "nigger," awe struck by tho solemn acting on the stage, had unconsciously emptied the contents of a water vessel in the gallery. This was the triumph of art, and the tragedian wore it as a feather in his cap thereafter. Going back into these theatrical recollections, reminds us of an anecdote which we used to hear long ago, and in which Mr. Loring acted a prominent part. He will take no offence, we hope, at the resurrection of this little affair. In former times Mr. L. was fond of amateur hDI. rical Performances, and " played bis part" upon tne stage wun great acceptability. One ni"-ht the theatre was filled to see Richard 3d, the part of the tyrant by our neighbor. In due course of time it was necessary that the bloody usurper should seek repose, and be disturbed by the ghosts of his vicflms, male and female, as is represented in the 5th Act. Horrified his nerves unstrung fearfully alarmed the cold .drop starting from his brow with an aw ful face Mr. Loring sprang from the couvh, and seizing his sword rushed at the foot-light.

It was profitable.;; but its owner, Mr. FentreM, had given up the business of working it for gold, and it -'was lying useless ha himself, when Mr. Stith proposed working the 6ulphuret for copper. -Two shafts had been sunk upon the vein at a distance of 316 feet; and, for some distance from each shaft, the ore had .been removed and "worked for gold; "The vein , runs N. SO degrees J2.;.din N. W." At the1 depth of almost 72 feet, the veia of pyrites ia divided into two, a flat vein, which dips alwut 5 degrees, and a vein dipping between 60 and 70 degrees. The flat vein consists of a gangue of quartz," arranged y somewhat in columns, and tho vein of sulphuret, ranging in with from 4 to 12 inches : the whole width of the quarts and copper is from 2J to 5 feet. " This flat vein dips towards the steep dip ping vein; finally becomes incorporated with it, when" it becomes the main and important vein Of the mine. The progress of the work becomes more and more favorable, "and a fine vein of sul pha ret of copper is likely to be disclosed, and, indeed, is so, by the present operations. The double snlphurets are changed to the single sulphurets. and it is found to yield from 32 to, 40 per cent, of copper. The mine is valuable, and its success will operate favorably in produ cing a chnne in the working of the auriferous pyrites. The probability is that many others, in which the copper has been lost, from igno rance of the value of the substance, will be worked so as to save the copper, or to work them as copper mines exclusively. LUKSTOXE. 112. Tho great value and importance of limestone has created a demand for it, both as an article essential in construction, as well as in agriculture. In a very large part of North Carolina, this rock seems ta be absent, and hence it has been difficult to supply lime suffi cient only to meet the ordinary wants of the community. It has been always too expensive to warrant its employment for agriculture pro ducts may be attributed to the searcity and ex pense of lime. Probably all the soils of this. State will be benefitted by the application of lime. I have visited only the two well known locatities of limestone in Stokes, the limestone belonging to Mr. Martin of , and Mr. Boltjauk of Germanton. These beds of lime stone belong to the pvro crystalline rocks. The stratification of Mr. Martin's beds is quite ob scure, while that ot Mr. liolojack s is quite dis tinct. Both belong to the same kind of rocks. The thickucss of both exceeds forty feet, and lie between strata of coarse talcose slates or talco-micaceous slate. Both beds make good lime. These beds may become in the hands of enterprising men lotli profitable to the owners and highly me Oil to the community. Mr. Bo lejack's is located very conveniently for cheap mining, and wood being abundant and cheap, I have no doubt it may be furnished at 15 cents per buvbel and perhaps 12$. At those prices the farmer can afford to use lime. - The beds seem to be in range with others crossing the State from N. E. to South AVest. SOME OF THE GEOLOGICAL 'CHARAC TERISTICS OF THE SLATES OF STORES, SURRY, 4c. The predominant rock, of these Counties is Talcose Slates with a variety which mav be called talco-micaceous slate. The rock lias the usual silvery lustre, and thin lamination, which is frequently undulating. The rock is generally covered with eoil. The ridges and mountains are sharp and narrow, and present in out-linc a singular and picturesque appearance. This is especially the case with the Pilot moun tain. From Germanton and other points, it presents tho appearance of a high isolated rounded knob, bearing upon its summit a square tower. Seen from the residence of its owner, Mr, Guilliara, ',t becomes a sharp ridge surmounted by two pinnacles the eastern the greater of the two. The mountain sides are steep and precipitous. Tho pinnacles are bounded nynerpendicular sides. The highest and most prominent one is ascended by means of ladders, and rises about 70 feet above the crest of the mountain. These magnificent pinnnclcs bavo been form ed by a very simple geological operation. The rocks were thrust upward in such a manner as to produce a decidd curvature of the crest of the mountain, and so much of a curvature, as to produce a cross fracture of the strata be tween the pinnacles, which are 230 yards apart. Tho slow operation of atmospheric agents have done the rest. These operations consisted in the disintegration of tho softer slates, especial ly along the line of parture between the pinna cles. The undermined strata form the debris of the mountain sides. The harder strata of the pinnacles have withstood the action of the elements, and will stand and battle them for thousands of years to come. The strata of the pinnacles differ from each other. Some of the strata consist of pure granular quartz, especial ly those which form tho pinnacles. These strata, however, should not be regarded as a sandstone, but simply a very quartzose variety of talcose slate. The Pilot and other mountains of the range belong to the first and most easter- , ly of the Blue Ridge or Alleghauies ; but un- niio omer nuges, tney are steepest on the east ern slope. The Pilot mountain is one of the greatest places iu North Carolina. Nature has performed a work here, which seems to have been designed to give health and pleasure to those who have become debilitated or worn down under the burning and sultry atmosphere of the South. It is a pitv. when so little is lff to be done, to make tho Pilot a place of creat resort, nothing but a reu-h nath wav and ,T W 1 .ie ia ieiL ladders have yet bees contributed to promote objects of so much importance. The geological structure of much of North Carolina is charac terized by low anticlynal and synclynal axes. some oi tne synclynal are deep and form troughs in which the coal fields lie. The axes are formed by normal dips, being equal on both sides of the rounded ridgo. CONCLUSION. I have introduced a greater amount of ele mentary matter, perhape, than is required in a simple Report, designed to give a statement of what has been done to carry out the plan of the survey. I have done this because many of the persons into whose hands this report will fall, wish something of the kind. Much of the elementary matter of the foregoing report has been published before, but I have proposed to make a direct application of these elements to the agriculture of the State. The State of North Carolina might be divi- mJ f, u ""I1?. tne ffUural .

In pursuing the work up to the present time, I have scarcely touched upon the mining wealth of the State. The most I have attempted to do iu uoieiupe uw vaiue or tne coal mineB Tbe gold, copper, lead? and iron mines, I propose to examine the ensuing year. It is a remarkable fact,'that while lead and tine are comparatively rare, gold and silvtr are abundant. I had occasion te notice a fact of A ,like kind in my Report of the Ge lS j iora . in ua xvonnern vounues :ri iron is tbe great mining product, 1 J.ora . in we iionnern uounues t owns. i urciiiiurK5 uier eicrj -vmn North Carolina; and I mar here say' that.: the advantages for making bar iron of the best qual ity are very 'great. The ore in tbe first; "placa is Abundant and of an excellent quality:, and in the second place, wood for charcoal is equal ly abundant, and as the growth of trees is rap id, fuel will never fail if system is observed in its cutting and the preservation of young timber. The resources of the forest in North Carolina are immense, notwithstanding a terrible' dis- ! ease has iufested certain portions of it for some time past, l ne iamous long leai pine is a mag nificent tree of the forest. It yields its turpen tine and rosin in profusion one of the great staples of the South ; its leaf makes an. elegant hat, its cone an oramental basket, its heart the most durable of posts, and its wood the cheerful fire and light, both of the kitchen and parlor. Tho great variety of Oaks and Walnut are no less important. The Tulip in beauty is rarely excelled, and the Magnolia among the trees of the Forest is like a gigantic rose. ' The water power is also immense. The im provements on Deep River and Cape Fear will furnish water for several Lowells. In fine, the elements of wealth, and prosperity have been dealt out with a liberal hand, and its people tiave only to put torth their energy and enter prize, to stand with the first States in this Re public. From tho Fayetteville Observer. U. S. SENATOR. Messe RS. ti. J. Hale & Son : Gentlemen The question is now agitating the public mind whether the Executive of the State has the pow er to appoint a Senator in place of one whose term expires by "limitation" during the recess of the Legislature. It presents a subject of practical importance to the people of this State, for on the third of March next the term of Mr. Mangum will ex pire. Our Legislature knew this during the recent Session and tried to prevent the occur rence of this question by choosing some ono Senator for six years. It adjourned without doing so, and the question now is, has the Gov ernor the power to appoint, either before or af ter the 3d of March. In the "Standard" of tho 19th there is a long elaborate and able argumeut from the pen of the lion. Robert Strange, in which he contends that the Executive possesses the power to ap point after the vacancy shalh have occured. Entertaining a different opinion, we proceed uneny to express u. The question propounded is one involvin gra constitutional principles, ana lor us so lution we refer to the 3d section of the 1st Ar tide of the Constitution itself, which savs. "1st. 1 ho Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen bj the Leyixlature thereof, Jor six years ; and each senator snail have one vote. L - 1 . .... u. immediately alter tney shall be assem bled in consequence of the first election, they tut I--.1 . . snau oe divided as equally as may be into three classes. The seats of tho Senators of the tirst class shall be riicated at the expiration of tho second year, of the second class at the ex- piratiou of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth vear. So that one-third may be chosen every second year ; ana n vacancies happen by resignation, or oth erwise, during the recess of the legislature of any State, the executive thereof may make tent purury apjtointineits until the next meeting of the legislature, which shall then fll such vacan cies. lhe conclusion to which these articles bring us is, that the Senate of the U. S. shall be com posed of two Senators from each State chosen by the leymlulure thereof for six yean ; and after the first election the seat of eaeh Senator shall be vacated at the expiration of the sixth year, in order that one-third of the whole Senate may be chtuten every second year. It is true the latter clause of the 2d section proceeds to say, "and ir vacancies happen by resignation or otherw ise during the recess 'of the legislature of any State, the Execqtive there of may make a temporary appointment until the next meeting of the legislature, which shall then Jilt such vacancies." It is trom this clause that the power of the Governor to appjint is claimed, and it has al ways been conceded that when a vacancy hap pened iu the unexpirod term of a Senator during the recess of the Legislature, it was the duty of the Governor to appoint. But the advocates of Executive prerogative seek to extend the prin ciple, and now claim that he mav aDnoiut a I Senator to succeed one whoso term of office has expired by limitation of law, and in effect vest in him tho name power that the Constitution gives to the legislature. This is the doctrine that we aro attempting to combat, and now proceed to show that the clause upon which they rely does not warrant the construction given. 1st. Because the 3d Section declares Senators shall be "chosen by the legislature for six years." 2d. Because the same section declares that the seat of each Senator shall be vacated at the expiration of six years, in order that new Sena tors may bo chosen by ,4he Legislature, as we contend. 3d. Because when the Constitution itself de clares a seat vacant on tho 3d of March, it is claiming an absurd construction to say it meant to include such a case under the clause " and if vacancies happen," &c, the Governor may ap point, &c. This is to make the Constitution pronounce a thing certain, and then provide for its uncertainty. 4th. Because in the former portion of the Section which confers the power on the Legis lature to elect a Senator for the full term, lhe words " choose" and " clwsen" are used. But in tho latter clause, when the Governor has au- . .. . r P , 7 I.,8'" ure 18 l"lUed and only al lo"' t0 -ftU uch fancies, fec. . . . . it we are correct in the exposition of these two articles of the Constitution, it follows, that the Governor has no right in the Constitution to appoint a Senator, unless the Legislature has u m. ui maittubo ciceieu tor a term oi six years, and a vacancy has happened durinc the term, from resignation or some other cause. His power is limited, and stricly confined to appoint when vacancies " happen " during the recess of the Legislature ; that is, such vacan cies as are dependent upon contingent circum stances, the" happening of which are doubtful, and the time when uncertain, as are resignation, death, and expulsion from the Senate exclud ing the idea of power to appoint on the certain ciuiiMiuu ot a term oi omco on a certain day Has he tho right, under our act of Assembl ibly, passed in libv, which is as follows " lie ti enacted, dc , That the Legislature of the State 6halL tchenccer a Senator or Senators in the Congress of the United States is or are to be chosen, at such time during their Sessions as they shall appoint, elect by joint vote of both bouses of the General Assembly, the vote beinc viva voce, such Senator or Senators as may be necessary, under the inspection of two members from each house ; and it shall be necessary to have a majority of the votes of both houses to elect any person for thul purpose." .- .. ' -The advocates for the Governor's prerogatives never have pretended that he can find the now- cr to appoint a senator in this Act. On th. contrary, they nave been forced to admit, that 80 f" concerned, it is an at- trim r f 4-s uaat tka a I . 1 1 ,v """lc puwwr over me election VJour conuuet, ir, is intamous, and l. shall not and appointment of Senators in the Leffislaturff 6ubmit to it anv loneer: vou are n hmto air . of the State, to the exclusion of the Governor. t . . . . i . . .. . o i lhe above act was passed in 1789, and wo find on referring to the debates-of the Conven tion held at Uillsborouch. N.'Oin 1788 tH. liberate on tbe adoption of the Constitution of i the ' United States, that grave objections were ! mada to the power which CoBgress had reserved to itself over the time and manner of holdin elections of Senators. Mr. Iredell, a warm advocate for the adoption of the Constitution, says, page 61, " The man ner in which our Senate is to be chosen gives us an additional security. Our Senator will bs chosen by King, nor tainted by his influence. Un m - " " r w plogy. of New .

Governor Johnson says, page 71:-r - "As long as the State Legislatures nave it in their power not to choose the Senators, this pow er in Congress appears to me useless, because they can put an end to the general government by rej using to choose Senators." To the samo effect are the language and sen timents of all others who spoke on this subject. Suppose that the first Legislature that met in North Carolina had refused or failed to elect Senators, would the Governor have dared to make the appointment? It would have been denounced as a kingly usurpation upon the Legislature. And yet he would have bad pre cisely the sam e power that the Governor will have on the 4th of March, when Mr. Man gum's term will have expired by "limitation" of the Constitution itself; and as no jiowcr but the Legisliture can extend his term a single day, and that only by election, how can it be said a vacancy has "happened" which the Governor can supply ? Suppose the Legislature had declared at its late session, that it was not deemed "necessa ry" to "choose" a Senator to succeed Mr. Man gum, would the Governor notwithstanding pos sess the power to appoint ? If he has the pow er claimed for him in cases of inability and o raission to elect, he has it in the case wo have just put. And by this newly claimed preroga tive, can appoint, and continue from time to timo to appoint, Senators in defiance of the Leg islature, and compel that body to submit to his will, on a subject vitally Important to States rights. Some have supposed that the 20th Section of our State Constitution has reference to the case under consideration, and derive the Gover nor's power to appoint from that. This is a mistake. The section only applies to the appointment of such officers by the Governor, as is vested in the General Assembly by the Constitution of North Carolina. And as the General Assem bly derives its power to elect Senators from the Constitution of the United States, it is clear the Governor cannot obtain his power from the Constitution of the State. We had intended adverting to the cases that have been disposed of in the Unite J States Sen ate on this and similar points ; but the data be fore me is so vague and uncertain, that I am unwilling to predicate opinions thereon, and prefer waiting till more accurate information can be obtained. That the case is with me in law and on principle 1 feel assured ; and if any weight is due to the contemporaneous opinions of the Fathers of North arolina, the case is clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Ex ecutive will be a usurper of Legislative power, if he shall appoint a Senator to supply Mr. Mangum' place in the Senate of the United States. CULLODEN. Fayetteville, Jan'y 22d, 1853. MRS. JOHN SMITH, Ja., OF ARKANSAS, WHOM IT WAS HARD TO MAKE SCOLD. A gossipping correspondent of the New York Standard, who writes under the signature of "John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas," tolls the fol lowing story about his better half: About six yearsttfter I had transformed Miss Mary Lopex Smith into Mrs. John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas, I got into a habit of going down to old Billy Taylor's tavern, in Helena county, and thero 1 d sit, hour after hour, and piay keards, as the Vermonters exoress thnmslt" when they want to talk about card playing, and sometimes get a little wrong in the upper story. Mrs. John Smith, Jr., bore all this pretty woll, for a long time ; but I could see that my folly and extravagance was a source of anguish to hetj; and though sheM sit and weep in silence, when she thought I did not see her, she was too proud to coinpLun loved me too well to tell me that I was an ungrateful fellow, and "was driving her to the tomb by my neglect and dissipation. I saw -all ; know that I was mur dering the wife of my bosom, and yet, for the life ol me, I could not conquer my thirst for gambling and conviviality. A thousand times did I attempt to cut asun der the bands that bound me to a sinful course of folly and mainess; and I often prayed to God, imploring him to invest me with a resolu tion sufficiently strong to enable mo to escape from the slavery of vice and folly. But all was of no avail. At last it occurred to me, that if 1 could get Mrs. John Smith, Jr., waked up to the anger, and compel her to scold me like a virago, the end would bo accomplished, and I should be able to consummate the reformation I panted for in all sincerity. At last I was suc cessful. Chrismas come round, and I flogged all my negroes ; gave each of them a suit oi new clothes of Osnaburg, and a shilling all round, by tho way of an annual comforter ; and away 1 went do'wn to Old Billy Taylor's tavern, to play cards and drink whiskey. 1 was gone three days and nights, and during the whole period, Mrs. John Smith, Jr., sat by the door of tho log-cabin, and sighed nnd wept for her truant and reckless husband. Her eyes had not been closed one moment. She wept for mo and my sins ; and when her little infant would turn up its bright eyes, and smiling try to lisp the name father, my poor Mrs. John Smith, Jr., would fall into all the agonies of mental and physical distrac tion ! " Smile on, sweet babe !" slie would sav " smile on, bo happy while you mav. for the day will soon come when this distracted heart shall burst, and I shall find repose, I hope not in the embrace of an unfeeling but beloved hus band, but in the arms of the God of Abraham. Smile on, sweet innocent I live, love, and be happy ; and when I am no more, then oh then thy father may learn to love and protect you." At a late hour of the fourth nijrht of mv ca- uusiu i neiiv uuuic, ttuu louuu ivirs. OUlltU up waiting for me. She said nothing but wept most bitterly. ;" My love," said. I, " I am very sorry you are crying, pray has anything happened to make you unhappy ?" " Mr. Smith," said she, and is it possible 1 that you can ask such a question ? Anvthin i a : iv. . , , . - . o .. 1 T . I. . .. .

So, assuming a dignified and despotic attitude, the best I could muster, and in a stern voice I exclaimed. , - " Mrs. John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas, do you know, madam, that I am lord of this manor, and master over you and your negroes V ' " John Smith, J r., of Arkansas," she exclaim ed in a dignified tone, and with an air 'of ma. o Mjestythat reminded me of Mrs. Siddons, -in ftCatherine of Arragon, " you are unendarable i ' J a v yes, sir a brute, and HI complain to your hon ored father and to my bi others, sir, and I'll see if remedy cannot be effected." .. . . . - J .1 - - , My honored father and your brothers mav i j i .. , ...... .

I'll quit every vice, join the teetotal society, and sell all my negroes to furnish you with money !" " And will you be faithful to your promises ?" she plaintively whispered. ' Will you not suf fer yourself to get into bad company again ?" " As I hope for hapiness here and hereafter," I replied, "1 will keep my promise, and no temptation, no po-er on earth, shall ever in duce me to prove recreant." ' Her soft black eye sparkled with joy, though clouded by tears, and as she pressed my hand to her lips, she imprinted it with a burning kiss, and softly ejaculated : "John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas, yon are for given." .1 rose like a man who had been prostrated on the guillotine, but who, whilst he gazed on the suspended unite, and bloody executioner, ex pected to see his head tumble into the basket, the next moment was pardonened, and clasping my Mary to my bosom halt sunocated her with kisses ! " Oli dearest," said I. "do as you please; say. what you please, and 1 II never hnd fault I 1 then ran to my bed room, seized a pair of buck sKin inexpressibles, tnat i wore wncn I was a Servant in Sir Geonre'a armv. of the Spanish Main, and handing them to her, exclaimed in the ecstacy of my delight : " Take them, dearest wife ; put them on, wear them and hang me it you shan t be master here- utter and forever. And if oh any occasion break my word, give them back to me and pro-- nounce me a scounael. She took the impressiblcs ; did 'not put them on, but from that day to this, never had an op portunity to return them. Nor will she ever have. Now we are happy are blessed hive had four little John Smiths, jr., of Arkansas, at two births, and 1 wish 1 had an army of them. No scolding now disturbs us ; I go to bed, every nignr, at nine o clocx, precisely ; drink cold wa ter, do not play cards, but hite my thumb at old Billy Taylor and his log cabin taven in Helena county, Arkansas, and strive to make every body happy. Scolding in my case has been profitable. n u 'JirlluiL u.m . u . m j,, j,i , ,., BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
