Deep Sea Soundings. An Interesting

calm day, on a passage from Uio Janeiro

Wheri$076 fathoms were run ofT the line,

was assisted several times drew up the
line fifty fathoms and dropped it again,
but it stopped, at the sanio mark, and
would hot run another torn of the reel.
The time occupied in taking their sounding
was nine hours, twenty four minutes, and
sixty five seconds ; the lenght of lines 7-7

very-pretty, intelligent girl of IiTsh parentage-,
(16 year old.) named Honors Cochran, am)
wing i a domenicln the family of Marcellu
Carpenter, of No 75 Green street in tbal city.
Toe circuintanceare briefly astfolluws : li
appear ihat This girl ha resided with Air. Car
penter's family about nine month; thai she
was formally of the Roman Caibolic faith, and
that she bas a mother ol the same belief, resi
ding at No. 6 Grove Place, in ibis city, and a
brother younger than herself, residing in Ash
tandr Man "drat about nior months since
the girl renounced the Unman l.'atholie fitb
and wa baptised al a Free Will Baptist meet,
ing house, where she has since aueuded wor
ship with ihe lamily of her employer ; iha4 on
Monday last .she was jisiled by her mother,
and went out lo walk wiih her, that when she
eiurned she said Ibat her mother took her lo
the house of the priests, who squeezed her hand
ao hard that he hurl her, and, only lei her go
when she promised to return lo see him on
the neit Monday ; that on Saturday the brother
arrived in Charlesiown, and she accompanied
him to this city lo see her mother, since which
time nothing hat been heard from ber.
When the mother was interrogated, she said
that bits and her son left- Honors on Saturday
evening at six o'clock, at the Filchbnrg Kail
way station, and thai then Honors slated that
he was going lo Cbarlesiown, When she
was loid ibat there were fear thai her daugh
4 had rf wirb seme fatal accident, he said
she wss not afraid of thai, Irom which it appears
that she know more than she is willing lo tell.
It is believed that the girl is .confined by per-
ot ww are opposeu 10 ner present religious
belief. A boot a week since she chose Mr
Fosdkk, of Charlesiown, for ber guardian, but
the paper had not been signed at the lime of
her disappearance. Mr. Carpenter gave in
lormaiiuu to the authorities of the circumstan
ces, and a search instituted for her had been
unsuccessful up to last evening. Boston Times

STEAM BOATS.
From a list of Stelam Boats owned bv
the principal cities of the Union which we
see going the rounds of the papers, we ob
serve that Wilmington is put down as own
ing 15, and is surpassed by only four sea
board cities in the South, viz: New Or
leans 111, Mobile 78, Savanah 27, Balti-
more 34. -Wilmington, though, is not cor
rectly reported as she has 20 Boats now
plying to and from her port, and 2 others
fret yet ready for service. : We ar gra
lined to observe her positron so lavora
ble, being considerable ahead of ber sis
ter Charleston, which has six time her
population. This fact shows the desire
as well as the capacity of Witminstori to
ilov an increased traaspoctLng.,b.usiiW!ss.

We published last week the method
adopted by a certain county Clerk in or

oath was Ibis : " You swear that the eon.

A friend thinks that the oath administer
ed by ihe Superior Court Clerk of a neigh
boring county' is much better than the
above, as tbe clerk not only makes the
person swear that be owes, him his lees.
but ho will pay it. His form of oath is as
follows: - You swear that the contents
of this paper are correct and true to the

that you will pay me ten cents, so help

f nl, sHeclionale aodruM-wVrihy during minnr-
ny, you seemed lo repose confidence in mr
ainiiiy lo act lur mysell, and no sooner bad " I
applied for ihe portion of land coming to me
than you laid it off on the western side of your
plantation, and a partition fence wa buill be
tween us by mutual consent and at our mutual
expense. 1 then went to work, and having
been laughi habits of industry and economy
wniie unuef your control, I pursued Ihe even
tenor of my way for many years, doing husine
on a. moderate icale.' I always looked before
1 leaped, in accordance with the principles aud
mat im laid down in my early training, and
ibu avoided icrape. I al way made it a point
lo pay up a I went, I but forming and sustaining
a character for honesty aud punctuality. I have
raited many ton and daughter and ibey are
all good looking. If there ha ever been an ill
favored one among them of either sex my eyes
have deceived m, A! julawghfef - are prover
bial for beauty. But I am digressing.
My primary object in addressing you at this
lime i lo explain my manner of doing husine.
1 base always deemed it a matter of importance,
before I began lo build, lo calculate whether or
not 1 would be abte to finUh, led a failure in
tbi particular might excite the risibilitie of
some body.
1 never embarked in any great work of In
ternal Improvement because 1 could not lee
eiactly where the money wa lo come from,
and you had never taught me in my youthful
day, that to spend money wa ihe most ready
way to get ii. I have since learned, however,
that this i ihe doctrine of some, and from ob
servation I begin lo suspect that the doctrine is
not so erroneous as it appears paradoxical.
"iou remember, 1 date say, a conversation
we bad on this subject about two year ago
wheu you were al my house on a visit. And
in order to test the truth of the doctrine, you
proposed lo me, you recollect, thai we should
enter into a co partnership fur the construction
of a Road that said road should commence at
ihe centre of the' old plantation, and thai yo'u
would. build it lo Ibe partition fence if I would
carry it on to the centre of my plantation. But
in order lo save eipente ii was'sgreed thai ihe
band should all woik together under the tame
Overseer. So we w.-nl at il.
Now, my Dear Mother, il you should happen
to fail before the rUiad reache the partition
feoce.and , all, my. money is. expe.nd4.o,ywt
plantation and my own left roadless as hereto
jote, I will be compelled lo deny ibat spending
money was the mosi ready way for me lo make
it in this case. Thus you will perceive ibat
there is danger of ibis doctrine being disprov.
ed. or al least thai it is not without exception.
You will please reflect on this matter. And
if people begin lo mork, and say that I Be.
gan lo build and was not able to finish"; you
will please prove your sympathies in my behalf
by aayiug to such, thai tee ; began, to build and
were nor able '"lo finish.

If the man who sold Harper the liquor was
noi authorised by law to sell it, it would look
rather more reasonable to hang him. As il is,
however, ihe crime of murder rests on the beads
of all the citizens of tbe State. Everyman
who is slain by the business of legalized grog

down to Ibe account of the State. Tbi being

PRESIDENT FILLMORE'S VISIT

It bas been staled in the papers that Presi
tot.Fillinpre intends lo. proceed on . a visit
through Ibe Soulherrj Slates, and l he rice by the
Mississippi' and Ibe Lake to Bufftllo. We
believe il is the wih of the President to make
tbrs towv Wt H 4 not certain that -he will be
able to do so. We hope ihat he may,. both for.
h'is own" gratification 'ad7ha1'oraTad,mTrTng"
and gratelul fellow-citizen throughout the
South. The following excellent remarks on
the subject we copy fiom the New Orleans
liulleliu :
" Some time since it was stated that Mr. Fill
more, alter the etptraiion of his term of olliee,
would make a lour of ihe Southern Stales ol the
1 Coulederacy, he never having ; been i in the ouih

nity of w 'itnessing ihe wonders of (be Valley of
tbe .Mississippi. Tbi slaleineiii received gen
eral rredence, and wa hailed with unbounded
saiislactioH by a large and respectabJe portion
Ol our Citizens. In lad. outside ofa eertain i-ir.
cle, ihe retiring President will be greeted with a
warimb aud respect which will be leotarkable
in it uuiversality.
" Late accounts from Washington indicate
that Mr, FtHmore wilt be accompanied by sever,
alof iho"merhbers of hi Cabinet; all o whom,
we doubt not, will be welcomed wiih true South
ern hospitality ; which means sincerity instead
of formality, heartiness instead of hollowness.
The display portion of the reception may not

ihat there will.be more heart feeling, genuine
