' ' -. We have a man here by the name of Duncan, who has a most singular taste in regard to clothing and jewelry. He wears an immense-white broad brimmed bat, and a gold embroidered suit of clothes, that cost in Parish over $600. He has a gold watch chain that would fasten an el ephant ; five or six pound! of rings dazzle his fjngers j'his boots are jencasfd in sil ver. coats of mail, and he carries a cane bedizzened with massive chunksjof silver. There is an amiable bearing about the man IhaTwarrants me in considering his a most singular fancy, and not a Charlatan love of notoriety He is a cJeanly, hard working stevedore, and the jewelry on his person is valued at 8.000,!whichihe wears only on a Sunday. There is no dirty mis anthropy about him. so often mistaken for true democracy, but a desire to gratify this odd fancy with some propriety. 1 THE FUTURE WIVES OF ENG. LAND.

"Somewhere about here," writes ooulhern corresnondnnf . a small farmer of such social habits that his coming home intoxicated was no unusual thing. His wife urged him in vain to sign the pledge." , & "Why, your see," he would say- "I'll sign after a while, but I don't like to break off at once, it aint wholesome. The best way is to get used to things by degrees A "Very well, old man," his helpmate would rejoin, "see now if you don't fall into a hole one of these days while you can't take care of yourself, and nobody near to help you out." j Sure enough, as if to verify the prophe cy, a couple of days after he tumbled in to the well.

The multiplicity of j fragments of this venerable record, obtained from the exhumed mummies, have enabled modern sarans to make mil the complete book,' and an exact copy of h has been printed in Europe. M r.

The general design of the sacred book was expounded and the religious ireed which it pre scribed, developed.

The Egyptian faith, however, offered one con solation; if the soul was found wanting at the first trial, he was allowed to go on penance and then have a second. These are hut touches of some of the highly inleresiing information imparted in Mr. (Jlid. don's lecture. They will suffice, we hope; to stimulate the curiosity of Our readers, and in. cite them to acquaint themselves with the im portant results of the Eirvptian researches of the present fay.Rich. times. IVJio are' your Aristocrats ? Twenty years ago this one butchered ; that one made candles ; another sold cheese and butter, a fourth carried on a distillery; another was a contractor on canals ; others were merchants-and mechanics. They are acquainted with both ends of society as their children will be after them, though it will not do to say so out loud. For often you shall find that these toiling worms hatch butter flies, and they live ahout a; year. j Death brings division of . property and it brings new financiers; the bid agent is discharg. edjlhe young gentleman takes his revenues, and begins to travel towards poverty, which he reaches before death or his children do, if he do not. So that in fact though there, is a sort of moneyed rank, it rs accessible to all ; three good seasons of cotton will send a generation f;men up, a score of years will bring ihen all down, and send their children again tojahor. The father grubs, and grows rich; his children strut, and use th money ; their children inhei it the pride, and go to the shiftless poverty ; their children reinvigorated by fresh plebeian bipod, and by ihe smell of the clod, come up acain. Thus society like a tree, draws its sap from the earth, changes into leaves and blos soms, spreads them abroad in great glory, sheds them oflho fall back to the earth, again to min. ale with the soil, aod at length to reappear in the new trees and fresh garniiure. Hunt's Merchant's Magazine. To the Editors of the Charleston Courier ; Gentlemen During rnj recenj visit to Lon don, the uses to which 1 found the Ground-Aut appropriated, occasioned me some surprise. Messrs. Foster & Smithy merchants there, im port ihe nut upon an extensive scale from the western coast of Africa. These gentlemen work in the suburbs of London, a large. Rice pounding mill, the operations of which I was invited to inspect but attached to this is an oil mill, and it is of this I would speak in refer, ence to the ground nut. i This nut which cor. responds precisely with the nut so called, which 14 urnvt'n in r,...i; :i : i i ' .i vyaiwnurt, is imported nv inem til i targe quantities and thu s and thus used. First, nut and enun, Nexi the greater portion shell are brok ot the shell is separated frnm I ho m,t il.,.n from the nut the oil is expressed. The nut afier ! expression ofihe oil forms a cake which U much i in aemaud Irom cattle feeders and graziers and the shell which had been separated fiom the nut, also becomes a source of profit, being firaL ground and then sold to ihe Tobacconists'! Tbe oil extracted from the nut, I was assur. ed, was equal in every respect to Olive oil, and superior to it in the fact that the former never becomes rancid. The Iquantity of oil in the mill vats the day I was! there, was 142 tons. This use of the ground-nut was of such nov. elty to me, that 1 begged for a sample of the nut, oil, oil. cake, and pulverized shell, for the purpose of showing thpm to my friends in Car olina. The sample put up for me, I now send to you, that those who ivish to see it may have n opportunity of inspecting it. The oil I am sorry to say -U all lost, bv the breaking of ihe Ijoitle but the nut. the cake, and the snufl (in the raw state.) are not mate rially injured. l 1 am gentlemen, your ob't. servant, H.

A large number of the most respectable citjzens of Montgomery, Alabama, formed themselves into an As sociation bearirfg the following name : Central Southern Right's Union Club of Montgomery," the object of which is to oppose, by all fnir and honorable means, all factions or parties whose object is a dissolution of the Federal Government. The officers elected for the present year, are Judge B. S. Bibb, President; T T. Holt, vice President ; J. H. Clanton, Esq. Secretary ; and Col, T. F. Leonard, Trea surer. Among the proceedings of the meeting ciieu tor tne purpose of organizing this u,ul) We ""d the following resolution, to wit 1st. Resolved, That as we are advised by the public speeches and the public re solves of those who diflVr with us, "the issue of Union or Disunion" is to be made before the people of Alabama at the next general Election, it behooves us to pre pare for the contest. GENERAL SCOTT. The Tuscawaras Advocate published ' ,,,,ounl-,",tt an article JUSl,Ce t0 ,he ga!,aiU hero of Lundy's Lane, remarks The hour of his vindication has come. The signs of the times clearly indicate that in '52 he will be elevated to the highest office with in the gift of a free people." From the same paper we learn that the Whigs of Butler county, Ohio, in their recent con vention. adopted strong resolutions declar ing General Scott their first choice for the Presidency in the canvass of 1852. The Mansfied, Ohio, Herald advocates his claims, as also does the Cafbotidale Tran script and Journal. Disunion Paper. From all we can see in rhe Raleigh Standard on which to base a conclusion, that paper is in favor of Disunion. lis language is cautious, purposely so, we think, that it may the more .effectually lead the unguarded to oppose their Country. ' While it professes to be willing to abide by the late mea sures of Compromise it is constantly harp ing on the wrongs of the South, the ag gressions of the North, &c,, &c. Why is this? Upon what plea does it build its justification ? If peace is desirable, is' it best promoted by continually stirring those subjects of all others tbe most a pi to disturb it ? And yet this is the course of that journal. No, it seems to have an object ahead an aim to be realised in the future; and we are forced to believe that that objVct and aim is nothing more nor less than to prepare the State to fol low South Carolina's lead into the dan gerousruinous experiment of secession. We may be wrong and hope we are but yet to think otherwise from present indications would demand greater faith in the loyalty of that journal that facts will admit. The Standard" is mistaken : the part connected with the Mail Contract adver tisement concerning which we have the least "distress" is the pay. .The Stan dard" knows that well, and can speak from experience.

Trial of Robert MorrisonsThe trial of this man, charged with the murder ;of John D.Smith, at VadesboroMgh, on the 7th October, 1830, came up on Thursday last fn that Town, befiie his Hon. Judge Manly. The following were the counsel for the re. pectire sides : For the State, Solictor Strange, assisted by Atlas J. DaVgan, Esq. For the Prisoner, Judge TiMimerA. Little, Thomas S.' Ashe, and J. It. Hargrave Esqrs. It is doubtless remembered that Smith was killed with a hatchet, which the prisoner threw at him. The immediate provoking cause was that of the decased violently ejecting the pris oner from the shop in which he was accustom. ed to work. I he prisoner was drunk m that fatal morning, and came into the shop and com- meneed an angry quarrel with Mr. Smith, upon whom be poured out severe abuse. Mr. S. became exasperated, and took prisoner by the collar and pushed him out of the shop. But he went back directly, and picked up a hatchet from a chopinghlock, and threw it at Mr. Smiih, who received the blow upon, his head, of which he died within Three hours. The " Argus" says the cause was very ably and eloquent argued on both sioes. . His Honor charged the jury in consonance with the facts and the law of the case, afier which they retired.
