Tar ttivrr .Yuri nation Compa
ny. Not being uhlo to find the
books anil papers of this Compa
ny, it is impossible to stale, with
precision, much about it. I learn,
generally, that soon al ter the Com
pany was organized, many of the
subscribers lor stock, refused to
pay instalments, which involved
the Company in law-suits which
were not fmallv terminated till
1825.
in the meantime, operations
were commenced on the river,
with the funds obtained from the
State, and the few private stock
holders who voluntarily paid the
instalments required on the slock.
, The President and Directors
contracted for the erection of a
lock below Louisburg; but before
its completion, the contractor a
bandoned the work, and it I. as
been left in an unfinished state.
There has been no general meet
ing of the stockholders for many
year?; nor has the Company done
any act which might show its con
tinued existence.

eti. i uesu auo uuiei views, were
successfully enforced and main
tained by Mr. Edwards and other
friends of the tesolutions.
On the other hand, they were
met by those who thrust them
selves forward as leaders of the
opposition, with sweeping invec
tive, personal abuse, reckless as
sertions, antl bitter denunciation
of the President and Vice Presi
dent, of Messrs. Taney, Steven

guisht d friends of the Adminis
tration in Ibis Slate, also hail a
lull share of the abuse of the
spokesmen of tu! opposition.
The general character and scope
ol this abuse and denunciation,
was the suite that has been seen
brier repealed in the columns of
toe lofti press of the day. No
details of private scandal and pub
he gossip, were too riigi.iiiiig Q
b. doietl out It) the Senate. IVi.
v..l. con espot.dence was exposed,
and confidential letters read, w ith
a hope of pioducing effect. A
most unparliamentary attack was
made on Capt. Hums, the Sena
tor from Caileret county. He
was charged with having chang
ed his political course; and insin
uations were cat out that he hail
been bribed with an office from
the (ieneral (lovei nment. The
charge was promptly thrown hack
upon his assailants, ami the insin
uation indignantly repelled by
the gallant old commander, with
a spirit, and in a manner, which
enli-:d the feelii gs of all who
heard him. Capiain Uurns de

Jlnhama. Xv learn from the
Tuscaloosa ''Flag,', that the
House of Representatives of the
Alabama Legislature has dischar
ged its duty to the people of that
democratic Stale, vindicated their
character, and maintained their
principles, by passing the Reso
lutions inviting the Hon. Gabriel
Moore to resign his seal in ihe
Senate of the United Stales. This
is a most just rebuke of that Sen
ator, for his apostasy to bis con
stituents, and his recreant course
in regard to their feelings and
their interests. The resolutions
were passed hy a vote of 57 to 2G,
more than two to one. ib.
Virginia Legislature. I m
mediately after the election last
spring, the Richmond Whig gave
an abstract of the returns, and a
statement of the strength of par
ties in the Legislature as follows:
Administration, House of Dde
g'ttes 55, Senate 1 y, making 71;
Opposition majority IS. '1 he
Luquirer, however, on whose
staements more reliance can he
placed, assured us the opposition
majority would not exceed I2y
a ml this statement is borne out by
the vote for Puulic Printer, Mr.
Shepherd's majority being pre
cisely 12 over Mr. Ritchie. The
change of a very lew voles, theie
jfore, would defeat Mr. Jvigh's
lie-election. And from a list of
. the counties, with the number ol
, members, where instructions have
; been carried by the signatures ol
j more than two-thirds of the vo
j ters in each, it appears ly oppo
sition members have been instiuc
' ted to vote against Mr. Leigh.
; Should only one-third of these
; obey their instructions, . V.
: Leigh will cease to misrepresent
Virginia alter the dth March next.
As our reatlers have already been
atl vised, both br anches ol the Le
gislature have fixed on the 27;h
inst. foi going into the election;
and there is good leason to hope
for a favorable issue ib.
Conjugal Comfort. It is es
timated that there are about S.000
applications for divotce, annually
in the United Slates; and that a
bout '1,000 of them are successful.

From the annual report of the

first of January last, beyond tin

form is gracefully resting on her
left foot; her right knee being a

supposed to be covered w ill, fine
transparent drapery, excuted will,
surprising skill, and exquisite
taste. All the proportions of tba
figure are perfect and equ;u in
grace and beauty to the celebrated
Grecian Venus or Ceres: this
however, is the more iuteresfme.,
being an original composition.
H'ar is also a gigantic figure,
represented as resting on his shield
with his head a little inclined, and
listening to Peace: one hand on
his Mvord, the other leaning on
his shield; his right leg is strait;
his left a little contracted, he stands
at ease: and he is dressed in the
ancient Roman garb: his toga
thrown over his shoulders, with a
tunic or kirtle extending to bis
knees, the border of which, ant
his belt, are highly ornamented
with the symbols of the victim.

has a long proberis, by which
means it succeeds iu burning be
