THE BACHELOR'S SONG.
A Bachelor leads an easy life,
Few folks that are wed live better
A man may live with a very good wifej
But the puzzle is how to get her.
There are pretty good wives and pretty bad wives,
And wives neither one thing nor t'other; -
And as for the wives who scold all their lives,
I would rather wed Adam's grandmother.
Some choose their ladies for ease or for grace,
Or a pretty turn'd foot as they're walking;
Some choose for figure and some for face,
But very few choose them for talking.
Now as for the wife I would follow thro' life,
It is she who can speak sincerely
Who, not over nice, can give good advice,
And love a good husband dearly.
So ladies and gents, when to wedlock incliird,
May deceit or ill humor ne'er trap ye.
May those that are single get wives to their mind,
And those that are married live happy.
A Bachelor leads an easy life,
Few folks that are wed live better
A man may live with a very good wife,
But the puzzle is where to get her.
From the Fayetteville Observer.
Charleston. Some of the most extra
ordinary outrages have recently been
brought to light in Charleston, that were
ever committed upon civilized society.
They so surpass all that we could have
imagined in a community like that, that
we would not credit them, if they did not
come confirmed by the statements upon
oath of individual of both parties, and of
all ranks in life.
It appears that for some weeks previ
ous to the late election, each party kept
what are called open houses, thai isjare
four story brick houses in the centre of
the city, in which were provided refresh
ments of nil kinds, free to all persons,
and which it appears upon oath, were
kept open during the whole of Saturday
night; whilst haranguing, &c. were ear
ned on without regard to the Sabbath.
On Sunday morning, a man named Stan
ton was found dead in front of one of the
houses of the Union party, and the Coro
ner's Inquest being held, a verdict was
rendered, that he came to his death by
falling from a window of one of the up
per stories of the house, in attempting to
escape from confinement in which he was
held by the Union party. The extraor
dinary fact was then disclosed, and has
been placed beyond all doubt by the con
current testimony of both parties, that at
this and at previous elections, private pla
ces have been provided in which such
persons as could be decoyed or forced
into them, have been confined for several
days previous to the election, to prevent
their voting! Some of these were plied
With brandy, mixed with laudanum, and
some gagged! to prevent their making a
noise! Men have even been draped
from their beds, gagged, and carried to
..uu jjmues ui confinement.
The death of Staunton appears to have
produced considerable excitement, and
probably brought the parties a little to
their senses; for on the same afternoon
Sunday) a meeting of the Union party
was held, at which it was solemnly resol
ved, to despatch an envoy to the State
Rights party, to propose an exchange of
all prisoners held by either party! The
Courier announces the result of this mis
sion as follows:
"We are happy to learn that the Central Com
mittee of the Stale Rights and Free Trade Par
ty have acceded to the proposal of the Central
Committee of the Union and Stale Rights Par
ly, that all lock-up houses shall be discharged of
their unwilling-tenants."
These things certainly surpass in enor
mity any thing that we ever heard of in
any country not under the dominion of
the detestable Inquisition.
Since the above was in type,
we have
received the following gratifying assur
ance in the Charleston Courier:
"We congratulate onr fellow citizens that the
tide of corruption, which has hitherto deluged
our community, staining its honor, and vitiating
its morals, is about to be arrested at the spring
head. The leaders of both parties, actuated by
a deep sense of the alarming and growing extent
of this pernicious evil rendered doubly perni
cious by the high sanctions with which, in an
evil hour, it was countenanced have agreed to
suppress it completely and forever."
Emigration. The militia system, ge
nerally considered as worse than useless,
has had a very unfortunate effect in its
enforcement, in this State. The late law
compelling Quakers to muster or pay
fines, has driven a great number of our
valuable citizens to Ohio and Illinois,
and more are preparing to follow, carry
ing off with them wealth, which is much
needed in a country desiring Rail Roads
and other improvements, and what is
more, carrying away industrious and
steady habits, which we equally want.

The Jllethodists. The Philadelphian
of the 12th ult. informs its readers, that
the voice of the IMethodist Conference,
lately held in New York, was taken on
restoring the ancient rule of Mr. Wesley
to the D iscipline, which was almost una
nimous in favor of the change, only four
voting against it. The rule allows no
person to be a member of the church
who cither manufactures, vends or uses
spiritous liquors, unless in cases of ex
treme necessity. The number of minis
ters present varied not far from 150.
Cholei a in Mississippi. A letter from
Natchez, dated 2d August, says: "We
have had some sickness, and a few deaths.
We have had the genuine Asiatic Chole
ra among our blacks: at least we have
had many cases attended with violent
spasms, and all the other symptoms of
the Asiatic. 1 have had on one of my
places 40 cases out of G9 souls, some of
them very violent. They all yielded rea
dily to a large dose of calomel in a pill,
(20 grains) with two tea-spoons of pare
goric, immediately after the pain appear
ed, and the application of a poultice of
peach leaves, (made by stewing the
leaves in whiskey in a close vessel, over
a slow fire, -and spread thick on flannel,)
over the whole abdomen, as warm as it
could be borne, and renewed when it be
came cool. 1 have heard of. I think, as
' 9
many as 700 cases, and only five or
six deaths."
Florida. Extract of a letter from
Monticello, Jefferson county, Florida:
"It is quite sickly here, and it is the opi
nion of the physicians that it will be a
sickly country. The sickness that pre
vails now, generally, is an epidemic, or
Cholera Morbus. Some die, and quite
sudden. People are afraid that the Cho
lera will reach this territory; but it is my
opinion that it is in our neighborhood."
'Smoked' Beef.S 15,000 worth of mer
chandize fell into the hands of the offi
cers of the customs, at Newburyport,
Mass, last week. It was all snugly pac
ked away in barrels, and marked 'Beef,'
but the sharp-nosed inspectors KVnn
'smoked' out the cheat they 'guessed' it
didn't smell well tar beef, and accordingly
took out a head, when lo! the 'beef was
j;.unuusiy metamorphosed into all sorts
of choice silks, broadcloths, &c. sufficient
to dress Uncle Sam in finery some time.
