Dow, Jr., the inimitable preachet of the
New York Sunday Mercury, thus discour
ses on gelling married. It is said he is
about to enter the holy estate of wedlock:
' -Young man! if you have arrived at the
right' point in life for it, let every other
consideration give way to that of getting
married. Don't think of doing any thing
else. Keep poking about among the rub
bish of the-world till you nave stirred up a

She is of more service, too, than you may
at first imagine. She can ''smooth your
lioen and your cares' for you mend your
trovvsers, and perchance your manners;
sweeten your sour moments as well as your
tea j and cofiee for you; ruffle, per haps,
your shirt bosom, but not your temper;
and, instead of sowing the seeds of sorrow
in your paih, she will sow buttons on your
shirts, and plant happiness instead of har
row teeth in your bosom. Yes and if
you are too confoundedly lazy or too proud
to do such work yourself, she will chop
wood and dig potatoes for dinner; lor her
love for htr husband is such that" she will
do any thing to please him -except re
ceive company in her every-day clothes.
When a woman loves, she loves with a
double-distilled devotedness; and when
she hates, she hates on the high pressure
principle. Her love is as deep as the
ocean, as strong as a hempen halter, and as
immutable as the rock ot ages, one won 1

you are fixing contrivances to catch one,
and are as naturally on the watch as a cat is
for a mouse. But one word in your ear if
you please. Don't bait your hook if you
please with an artificial fly of beauty; if
you do, the chances are ten to one that you
will catch a gudgeon some silly fool of a
fish that is'nt worth his weight in sawdust.
Array the inner lady with the beautifulj
garments of,virtue modesty, truth, moral

you will dispose of yourself quicker, and
to much better advantage than you would
if you displayed all the gewgaws, flipper

thing to live and die a self-manufactured
old maid.
My hearers get married while you are

Fatal Accident. M r. James M .
Thomas was killed on Tuesday last, Ijy a
fall into a dry well upon which he was op
erating, at the plantation of Geo W. Mor
decai, esq. about 14 miles from the city.
He was removing rock at the bottom of, the
well, by the process of blasting, and in as
cending by what is called an Indian Lad
der, he by some means slipped from near
the top and was precipitated a distance of
30 feet, and fell on the bottom of the well.
He remained there about 4 hours none of
the attendant slaves or others being willing
to descend to remove him, from panic qr
other causes. It is supposed he lived 15 or
20 minutes after he fell. A young man
named Dean, who came to the place, per
formed the service necessary to remoye
him. Mr. Thomas was about 36 years of
age an industrious man, and has left a
deeply afflicted mother who lived with him
and depended on him for support.

A Runaway. A Buffalo (N.Y.) paper
contains the following paragraph:
Frederick Douglass, a fugitive slave,
will speak on American slavery, at Talman
Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week. He is said to be an eloquent spea
ker. . Those who feel an interest in the
subject are desired to give their atten
dance.,, This Frederick, is a runaway negro, the
property of Governor Dudley, of this Stale,
who abandoned his master in this city,
about five years ago, during his official
term. We speak from our own knowledge
of facts, when we say that there never was
a slave treated with greater kindness and
indulgence than this same boy. He was
Gov. Dudley's body-servant, was trusted
bv him with money in considerable sums,
and the most implicit confidence was repo
sed in him. In fact, he was regarded by
the whole family, more as a friend than a
slave. How little he deserved it all, is
shown by his present conduct. But black
as has been his ingratitude, he is a respect
able man, compared with his Northern aid
ers and abettors, who, knowing him to be
a Runaway (for so they advertise him) thus
sustain and encourage him, to accomplish
their own fiendish purposes.
Three loys killed by Lightning. A
letter from Stewartstown, Richmond coun
ty, in this State, states that while a num
ber of lads were playing, a storm came up,
and they went to a tree for shelter, when
the tree was struck by lightning and three
youn persons named Oberstreet, Cole and
Wade were killed. iA.
(JSome weeks since, a paragraph ap
peared in the papers, stating that Mr. John
Clay, youngest son of the I Hon. Henry
Clay, had been confined in the Lunatic A
sylum at Lexington, for insanity. We are
gratified to learn that the indisposition
which affected Mr. Clay, was temporary,
and that he entirely recovered in a few
days and is perfectly restored to health. J 6.

Annexation in New Mexico The
following letter is copied from the Missou
ri Expositor, dated Taos, New Mexico:
The srlorious snirit ot annexation is
spieading like prairie fire up the Rio del
Norte, and ralttins the dried bones in New
Mexico. The news of Santa Ana s col
lanse into orison has lust reached us
rp i
Governor Martinez is levy ing a forced loan
of Sl4,000for the soldiers. The popula
tion of Santa Fefand all north of it amoun
ting to 35,000, refuse to pay. John Scol
ly, an American merchant in Santa Fe,
assessed at 81,000, refuses to pay until
Martinez accounts for gj50,000 which he
has already sponged from the people of
Nev Mexico. The governor refuses to
account, but demands more; Two-thirds
of .he people demand annexation, as the
on y means to escape from the avarice and.
tyranny of such a government.. The A
mejricans are making large purchases 6f
land upon the streams running into the Rio
dei Norte and Arkansas, anticipating an
nexation. Ex-Governor Armijo is stirring
up and concentrating around him the
means of ejecting Mexican domination, and
vvi I shortly succeed in so doing. He rises in
popular esteem, and his influence increases
us vlartinez becomes odious and hated. i
Ciovernment here is accomplishing noth
ing but the destruction of domestic tranquil
ity and indiscriminate misery wherever its
for :e is felt. The Utah Indians recently
ma Je an irruption into the neighboring set
tlement of A bijuia killed four, and woun
dec seven Mexicans. The governor and
his fat soldiers, for whom we are taxed,
never stirred from the barracks in the city.

Messrs: Speyars of one hundred and sixty

The gold mountain has been more ex
tensively worked this season than hereto
forb. The search for gold has bt-en exten
ded to the south side ot the mountain with
great success. The gentlemen by whom I
send this, lake $13,000 in gold dust. Some
lumps valued at 275 have been found
within thirty miles of Santa Fe. The
gold region lies entirely on the eastern side
of the Rio Del JNorte, and, il worked with
energy, would yield millions annually.
The country is capable of being,one of the
moist prosperous on the continent; but is
every year sinking under the rapacity of its
feeble tyrants. To implore the charity of
the Amercans, and seek to occupy a cor

the unhappy people of New Mexico; . and
to ibis consummation all their hopes and

Trial of Henry G. Green. "The trial
of Henry G. Green for poisoning his wife
at TroyvNew York, resulted in his conviction.-
The circumstances of the case were
as follows: , Green saw the lady while con
nected with a strolling company of tempe
rance players,.and, after a short courtship
married her. The match was'opposed'by
all his friends, and particularly his mother,
who after the marriage bitterly reproached
him in a letter, making insinuations against
his wife. Induced by these cireumstan
res, it is said, he administered arsenic to"
her, pretending that it was soda powders;
in sufficient quantity to cause death.
The Albany Journal has the annexed
comments upon the testimony, which dis
closes a Case of the most hardened villany:
As the jury is riot allowed to see ne ws
papers until the trial is over, there can be
no harm in saying that the testimony. dis
closes One ' of the most deliberate bold
blooded murders we have ever read.
Green had .been married but . a short
time to a beautiful, affectionate; and confi
ding' girl of eighteen, he being twenty
two.. Without any provocation or cause,
(for while she was dying she appealed to
him to say whether she had ever deceived
him, Or in'any way conducted improperly,
and was answered in the , negative.) this
