0 V T EM lISli,T POSf. 191 HOETH & SOUTH CHANCES OF LIFE. According to the New York Expr-w, the comparative mortality of that portion of the United States ni r h r. the ioulherti line of Virginia and Kentucky, and ol ihe syuth, jjns just been curiously developed in some tables publish ed bv the Mutual Lite Insurance Company of New York. It appears, from ten years practical result, that the morta lly among those who insure their lives nonh of the line named' above, is- less than one per cent, v-z : about 94 in every . 10,OK. In the section bvtwecn the 32 degree of no. th latitude, a few miles south of Savannah, and the Southern line of Virginia and Kentucky, the mortality amo- gth se who insure is 117i percent, or 117 Pa eons out of every 10,000. ! The forgoing statement, which is circulating extensively through the press, would be quite a j discouraging one for ilie South, if it actually re presented the relative; mortality of the two sec tions referred to; but we are satisfied that such is bv.no rru-ans the -ase. Life iuuiance is a far more common thing ijn the rural districts of the orth than in the country at the South. It is orilv the more exposed classes among us that gr neially insure, and these are for the most part r.'Milcn's of cities, soijne of which are notorious ; lv insalubrious.. It isj altogether unfair therefore : to infer from the Statistics of Insurance Offices that he nortalitv atjthe South excels that of .the North in anything like the ratio named. It js quite probable, on the contrary, tliat it would he found to be raihpf les, if the true ratio of deaths to -the; population could be certainly as certaiti'id. - - L Death of Dr W m R Scott. On Sunday ... . i . . - last, prof 'tind emotion was excited in this city, by the announcement of the sudden death, of this gentleman, a well-known and highly valued citizen. Dr. Scott had been complaining slight ly for several days, AO J on that mrning, having left his lodgings to consilt his physician, he suddenly f 11 on the street, and was taken up insensible. He revived jfor a short time, but in a few hours expired, after " sufteri g intensely from pain across the chest, which no remedy coul 1 allay. We understand that a post-mortem examination, made. on Monday, threw no satis factory light upon the cause of his death, though some degree of congestion of the lungs and stomach was discovered. He was buried on Monday afternoon, attended to the grave by a large coue on rse of citizens, in which the Order of Odd Fellows and the pupils of the Institution for the Deaf and lumb jfnul tli'-llind, of which he wits a Director, wereicon-picuous Dr. Scott was a native of Rockingham -Co He. had long resided in th s city, where by emi nent services in his profession, as a Surgeon Dentist, and also by his public spirit, warm friendships, and benevo'ent character, he had won an env able p ace in public esteem. He was a member of the Protostaut Episcopal , Church. Not Married. Some of the. papers have bt-en .quite merry over the reported marriage of the Rev. Dr. Antoinette Brown of New York. It turns out, however, that the Rev., spinster has not yet surrendered- her hand to any bo!y. She may have been call'd to a family charge, but prefers the dignity and independence, of the jHislo'rat relation, which she cannot be temp'ed to I'fwpf. We insist that our pro'ane contem poraries shall stop circulating these reports, which are so prejudicial to this distinguished j divinr. The cleriji .must he treated with more "respect, especially the feminine members of the cloth. Let us hear no more matrimonial accu sations therefore, against a 'maiden minister of such elevated view-. Tt would 1mj a fall, indeed, to aUtndou the pu'pit, and go to knitting, darn ing, and nursing for some lay broth;'- of. the con gregation. The Rev. M-'s al uded t has, we ai'e assured, no int'-ntion to commit such a folly , as matrimony. Telegraphic Lving. It has often lieert re marked that coi- oraiions have no souls. It may ' . now with equal truth be said that the Magnetic Telegraph hits nor evascitnee. lit the art of ly ing it; eclipses all the glory of .-Munchausen him self. Nor does 'it confine its peculiar gift to mere matter of moonshine, content to bvviih the wea; ons of harmless fiction. It sports' wit h all the solemnities and trag-dies of life, and whispers hope Miilo the, credulous ear only to la cerate again-the anxious heart. It employs for its amusement the diplomacy of nations, "and .' shuffles, into inextricable confusion the game Wltll -.WHICH rjHtues Rie iom ami mm. hii thrown our passing history ail into a heap, and . -whjle nothing appears too extravagant to be true, nothing i- so plausible as to be confidently believed. What shall le done, to reform the Telegraph-!. If it does not stop lying, the world will wish its wires as wide as the jxdes asUuder, and perhaps &smlt the battery. The N. Y. Tkibuse advocates Slavfry. The "Tri'Dane" thinks Chinese Pagan emigra tion into California "eminently dang rous to our futur.- welfatv. "But, however free all men may Jbe;bv nature according to theoretical republi canism, practice has shown that no two people with distinctly marked and uncongenial charac teristics can occupy the sime territory at h same time on. terms. :of equality. Either there must be sympathy enough between them to produces fusion., or the one will le virtually if not nominally the master of the other." 3?Fkank I. Wils N, Esq. who was sone i time since announced as joint editor with Mr llolden, in connection with the Standard, this week bows graGefuIiv to the public, and enters upon bis duties. Mr. W. will cupy himselt chiefly, with the business part of the concern. We tender him a cordial welcome to our affec tionate brotherhood. R Leigh and Gastox Uail Road. We are pWsed to learn that Dr. E.A.Crudup. of Frarik liny has been appointed a Director of the R.fe G. Rail Road, by Gov. Reid, on the part the State, in the place of Dr. W. J. Hawkins, who was ap pointed a Director by the Stockholders. This is an exct-llert appointment.

We can see no good reason for proscribing the articles altogether anywhere, ' though much caution ought to bo used in eat ing them Dentistry. We invite attention to the Card of Dr. P. Babcock, who proposes to settle in this City, for the pnpose of practicing his profession. Dr. Babcock brings with him testimonials of the highest character from Dr. Parmly, of New York, and oth ers. We also invite attention to the Card of Dr. L. S. Perry, who has been associated for some time past with the late Dr. Scott. His testimonials accom pany bis Card. LITERARY NOTICES. Graham and Godkv for NovetnWr have both hem received. W have so often expressed our high estimation of these two periodicals that it is needhss to repeat it. The Southern Literary Messenger for the .month i more full than usual of valuable and substantial reading1. It contains a highly inter esting letter of the Editor from Europe, in which he decribes in happv style some of the most prominent and attractive objects which can ar rest the attention of the traveler. Arthur's Home Magazine for November is plain, unpretending and modest as usual, but in teresting and instructive notwithstanding. "The. Georgia Blisteu and Critic," is the title of anew monthly periodical, conducted by a corp of physicians, at Atlanta, Geo. Price, one dollar a year. H. M. Ramsay, M. D , is the principal editor. It is devoted to the exposure of quackery, the development of southern me dicine, and the diseases and phy ical peculiarities of the negro race.5 Th title is rather absurd, but the objects are worthy of all the zal with wlrch they can be prosecuted. "We wish the 44 Blister-" a successful career. The Knickerbocker for the month has also reached us, and we have as "usual laushed at some of its sprightly contents. In light litera ture it always excels. We have received from Wake Forest a copy of an Oration delivered before the literary so cieties of that Institution, June 7th, 1854, by the Rev. Tiberius Gracchus Jones, of Norfolk, Va. The subject is u The True Man," and it is handsomely and eloquently treated. We are trulv obMo-ed to the sender for so rich a treat. NE rm A Sad and Curious Spectacle. The Boston Courier -gives the following account of a remarka ble case now occupying the attention of the Su preme Court r The Supreme Court room has been thronged for a d iy or two past, by men and women, Spir itualists" mainly, who arc either interested di rectly, or seeking pleasure in the mournful details of a trial for divorce at present pending before th.it high tribunal. The parties are Kidder vs. Kidder. The husband is defended by the Hon. Rufus Choate, the w ife by the Hon. Charles G. Lori; g, and 31r. Justice Biyelow is on the bench. The woman is accused of being a Spiritualists, a believ er in free-love, which the law calls adultery. The man is accused of the same. The woman has troops of female friends to cheer her in her dis tress, and prominent among them is a lady of Wal th:.m, of distinguished accomplishments. These ladies w;itch the proceedings with anxiety and ap- parent earnestness. One witness, a woman, test I tied that Mrs. Kidder had, on several occasions, t tempted to convert her to the free-love faith, which means, " when you find your isffinities you can live in perfect happinet-s with them ; and the children of such affinities born would be pure and holy." The witness named a man, a common looking customer enough, whom Mrs. Kidder h id described a her ' afBui y," because ' from his eailiest infan cy he fcid matte woman his theme." T'liii infaot prodigy was in court, and one would suppose th a; this pug-nose aloiie would be stiffi" cient to aflViglit aiiy wouian oft-pirii; but free-iove' like other love, is probably in need of spectacles. According to his ciarse theory of free love, ;i mar ried woman who has discovered her " affinity ' even though it be secreted in a deformity with brief legs and a long body and a physiognomy coinpres-cd it is all right to leave her husband, embroid three rings and other emblems of love io his cravat, and gooff with him-!' Such a union, without the first semblance of marriage ceremony, is s-anctioned in heaven so the Spiritualists say. Thi is curious stuff, and yt il is called rel gion," and ' morals" too. It does not follow, however, from the mere statement of a itness in court, that Mrs. Kidder believes in any such loose doctrine. Other evidence was put in with a view of showing that the lady had been unf.uthtui to her husbaid,; aid that tier spiritual i.otions had an immoral smack in them. The cae of Mr. Kidder will come on as soon as that of his wife is disposed of. REtoRTis: Und.r Difficulties. "A reporter of an evening joui nal of this city," says the Boston 'ravel ter, " learning ;hat the Know Nothing Gon- ventinn was to be held in Treinont Temple, on Wednesday, -eere!ed himself in the b ptimal tank to take secret notes of the secret proceedings. An 'examining committee' ascertaining this fact, et on ihe water, giving the unlucky eave-dropper a more complete introduction to aqua pura than he had enjoyed for years past. At the same conven tion, another curious individual was found snugly ensconced in one of the organ pipes. Whether or no the music was 'lei on' to give thi latter gentle man a ' blow out,' we have not been able to ascer tain." Printing osr Glass. Mr. Whipple, of Boston, has patented a method of engraving or printing on glass, which opens: up a wide field for mechanical industry and ornamental taste by producing rapidly and cheaply on the surface of glass vessels of any usual form, or even upon ordinary window glass, any device desired. Measures are now in progress to establish a manufactory for the production of glassware thus ornamented, in competition with the imperfect and feeble engraving heretofore only pre -pared by a tedious process of grinding dexterously upon a revolving stone. Like the old process, this method of engraving is purely mechanical, no acid or other corroding agent being employed, except in the preparation of the patterns. Capt. Cavendy, recently in charge of the m.iil steamship Jamestown, has been appointed to the command of the steamer Washington, for South ampton and Bremen, and will sail wi h her ou her next trip from New York. Capt. Parrish", formerly commander of the J;imestow , but recently of tho Tennecsee, plying between Bal.imore and Charles ton, will, we under -tand, sueceed Capt. Cavendy. Norfolk Transcript. Agricultural Society. An Agricultur 1 So ciety for New Hanover and 'Brunswick Coontiea was formed at Wilmington on Tuesday, October 31st. The following officers were appointed: Owen Fennel I, Pre-ident; Jas. M. Foy, Jobn A. Taylor, Jas. E. Metts, Thomas D. Meares, Vice Presidents; G. J. McRee, Secretary; and S. R. Bunting, Treasurer. W Destruction of the Town or Daroca, in Spain, bt a Watkrspout. A letter in the Madrid Trihuue of September 17th, pives an acrount of a terrible and extraordinary catastrophe that had oc curred at Daroca, a small town in Arragon, situate in a rich and a fertile valley, abounding in corn and wine. From its situation, in a deep hollow, com pletely surrounded by mountains, this place is pe culiarly liable to inunda'ion ; and. as bv a remedy, a tunnel was cut in 1560, by a Fienchman named Pierre Bedell. This tunnel is a magriificient work, 2340 feet long, 24 feet wide, and 24 feet high. The enterprise was patronized by the Pope, and assisted by alms from all Christendom. Previous to its achievement, the waters that flowed at wet seasons from two leagues of mountain, rnshed through the streets of the town on their way to the river. It appears that on the 1 1th September, at three n the afternoon, an immense waterspout, risin? from the lake of Gallocanta, remained for a consid erable time hovering over the shore about a league from Daroca. When it burst, the whole district was converted into a lake. The waters poured down in the direction of the tunnel in a stream much larger, it is said, ihan the Ebro or Tortosa, and seen from anelevaiion, appeared like moving mountains of liquid. The dimensions of the lun- nel, which has a very decided slope, were insuffi cient to allow the passage of the vast mass, which then moved fast, forming a spacious sea. This extended itself towards the town, at4" two hundred yards from which it was arrested bythe causeway that has frequently saved Doroca when menaced by perils of a similar nature, but less magnitude. Above this causeway the water rose," heaping them selves up on it, says the account, to the height of three yards, and then plunging down on the un fortunate town. The gateway, although an unusually large one was not large enough to allow their entrance, and another great lake was formed against thcwalls, which presently began to crumble under its pres sure.
