ii - 4 i VOLUME XI NUMBER 27. WILMINGTON, N. C., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1856. WHOLE NUMBER 1282 11 c in M1SCKLLANY. THE POLISH WOMAN'S PATRIOTISM OR, THE WEDDIJCI RING. 'Suwloiska, open this window ; I desire to die in, the sound of the church bells.' Suwloiska had not Icourage to obey. She looked pensively at her mother. My daughter is not this the Sabbath ? The hour of prayer ha come. Help thy old mother to prostrate herself before our good God and pious .- child, the young Polish woman helped her mother to kneel. 'Suwloiska, I implore," thee, my daugh ter, oped this window, in order that I may hear the bymns of the church.', She opened the window on the public square in which the church was situated, and then returned and sat down at the feet of her silent mother: j :: :' S:z 'Suwloiska, 1 do not hear the sound of the bells.' f .V " Not bear?' I It is the cannon. f Yes, mother, they have come down from the steeples of the churches to kill the Russians f : " 'God is with us.' j - The mother listened arrain. What has happened, my daughter; a aine-le eh aunt. not one voice in not the church ; what is our priest doing' 'He has turned soldier.' s 'Let us pray to God for him. He has prayed for us often enough. It was he who blessed thy marriage, my daughter. Oh, well do I remember it. Thou was't beautiful; I had dressed thee myself. Then the bells rang but joyfully. Then on thy knees before the altar, thou did'st promise fidelity to thy Suwloiski.'-' ? 4I have kept my oath. replied the young woman, blushing with pleasure. The eged mother pressed the hands of herdaughter closely in hers but sudden ly starting, she exclaimed in a shrill voice, Where is thy weddiDg ring?' I have given it away,' said the daugh ter, holding down her head. 'Suwloiska, has God reserved such afflic tion for my old age ! Oh, my daughter .who has caused thee to forget, to such an extent, thy duties as a wife? That ring, the token of an eternal covenant between Suwloiski and thee ; what has thou done with it t To whom hast L thou given it V To Poland !' and ( she rised her head with confidence. "Our husbands are sol diers, our priests are soldiers, our church bells have been melted into camions ; our collars, our ear-rings, our pearls have been bartered for muskets. We wives, - we had no longer any thing to give, and neverthe less, Poland lacked powder. Well, there are six thousand of us already, who have, for our country, made a sacrifice of the on ly property which remained to us," that which a woman esteems of all ornaments the most precions in the world, our mar riage rings We have given" them up to purchase powder.' j The aged mother slipped from her with ered firgers, the golden covenant, which she had thought she should never part with; and after having ltissed it repeated ly, she wiped her eyes and said : "Suwloiska, take this ring ; let it be sold with thine.- Go, my daughter, tell our vic tory ; for the country in . which wives sell their wedding rings to buy powder, is free. Perish the Russians; now, Suwloiska, o . pen all the windows, I desire to die in THE SOCKD OF THE CANNON.' THE ORIGIN OF WINE. They say that io the first ages of the world wine was unknown to mortals ; that this precious liquor originated in the coun try, where there was found a shepherd who religiously observed the riles of hos pitality, a man "soft, affable, and kind ; that one day he presented all kinds of fruits to Bacchus, who bad retired into his house ; but he offered him nothing but the insipid beverage which nature yields to men and animals ; that the god, satisfied with the humanity ' of his host, gave him some wine as a mark of his good will; that the shepherd charmed with a nectar , so delicious, leaped with pleasure, and turn- ing towards Bacchus, "whence comes this purple water V said he, with an air of sim plicity, ,or rather in what part of the world is found this blood, which flatters the taste so sweetly t for this does not resemble the drink which the rivers and fountains afford us a drink without pleasure, and which only serves to satisfy our thirst but 'this odoriferous perfume embalms the ' mouth, and though cold in appearance, bears a voluptuous warmth to the very depth of our hearts." They add, that at these words Bacchus conducted the shepherd to a place planted with vines ; that be took , some grapes, and, having expressed the juice, "Behold," said he, "whence comes this divine water, this wonderful blood; the fruits which you see are its source." It is thus, according to the Tyrians, that the art of making wine was the first taught .. to man. ; HORRIBLE TRAGEDY" ON BOARD THE GOL- DEN ERA. The Galena Advertiser, of the 22d tilt., states that on the previous Saturday, while the steamer Golden Era was lying at Dun lieth, and while the passengers were at supper, a man by the name of Willim H. Brown, j formerly a resident of Worcester, Mass., and who had a ticket from Dunleith to Hastings, Minnesota, rose from the table and inflicted upon himself several wound with a bowie knife before it could be wrest ed from him, which wounds have termina ted fatally. Mr. Halliday, clerk of the boat sprang and seized his right arm, when be changed the knife to his .left hand and gave Mr. H. a severe cut between the in dex and fore finger. Another person also received a baa slash cross .the back of the hand ia endeavoring to wrest the knife from him. - The ' passengers, at this junc ture, fled before biro, he slashing right and left with his knife, and wounding several, though not seriously.,. At this, period he was knocked down; and the knife taken from bun. There were two physicians on board, and medical aid ' was immediately : rendered, tie died soon . alter, and his body was convened to the Argyle House, where an inquest was held, lie was evi dently labonng under a fit of insanity. "footmarks. Voltaire, in Zadig, has attributed to his hero a sagacity in tracing footsteps, which, no doubt, has often been considered an idle invention. Such a power, however, ap pears to be .possessed by the Arabs to a degree which deprives even Zadig of the marvellous. "The Arab," says'Burck hardt, " Who has applied himself diligent ly to the study of lootsteps, can generally ascertain, from inspecting the impression, to what individual of his own, or of some neighboring tribe, the footstep belongs, and therefore is able to judge whether it was u stranger w bypassed or affrirnd." He like wise knows, from the slighlness or depth, of the impression, whether the man who made it carried a load or not. From a certain regularity of intervals between the steps, a Bedouin can judge whether that man, whose feet lrft the impression was fatigued or not, as the pace becomes more irregular and the intervals unequal ; hence he can calculate the chance of overtaking the man. Besides all this, every Arab knows the printed footsteps of his own camels, and of those belonging to hi3 im mediate neighbors. He knows by the depth or slightness of the impression whether a camel was pasturing, and there fore not carrying any load, or mounted by one person only, or heavily loaded. If the marks of the two fore feet appear to be deeper in the sand, he concludes that the camel had a weak breast, and this serves t.im as a clue to ascertain the owner. In fact, a Bedouin, from the impression of a camel's or of his driver's footsteps, draws so many conclusions, that he always learns something concerning the beast or its own er ; and in some cases this mode of acqui ring knowledge appears ulmost supernatu ral. The Bedouin sagacity in this respect is wonderful, and becomes particularly useful in the pursuit of fugitives, or in searching after catile. 1 have seen a man discover and trace the footsteps of his cam el in a sandy valley, where a thousand of other footsteps crossed the road in every direction; and i this person could tell the name of every one who had passed there in the course of that morning. I myself found it often useful to know the impres sions made by: the feet of my own com panions and camels ; as from circumstan ces which inevitably occur in the desert, travellers sorhetimes are separated, from their friends. In passing through danger ous districts, the Bedouin guides w ill se.l--dom 'permit a townsman or stranger to walk by the side of his camel. If he wears shoes, every Bedouin who passes will know by the impression that some townsman has travelled that way; and, if he walk barefooted, the mark of his step, less full than that of a Bodouin, immedi ately betrays the foot of a townsman, little accustomed to walk. It is therefore to be apprehended that the Bedouins, who rc gard every townsman as a rich man, might suppose him loaded with valuable proper ty, and accordingly set out in pursuit ol hira. A keen Bedouin guide is constantly and exclusively occupied during bis march in examining footsteps, and frequently a lights from his cemel to acquire certainty respecting their nature. I have known in stances of camels being traced by their masters during a distance of six day's journey, to the dwelling of the man who had stolen them. Many secret transac tions are brought to light by this knowl edge of the earth, or footsteps ; and a Be douin can scarcely hope to escape detec tion in any clandestine proceeding, as his passage is recorded upon the road in char acters ihat everyone of his Arabian neigh bors can read." Notes on the BoJouins and JVahabys, by Burckhardt. AN INNOCENT MAN IMPRISONED. Philip Rico, a stage driver, was arrested some time since for an alleged robbery of the mail while in his possession and lodged in jail at Nashville. It seems that the bags had been cut on several occasions, and it was made to appear that they were cut while in Mr. Rice's possession. Upon the reasonable pre sumption that Mr. Rice was the perpe trator of these repeated acts, he was ar rested and lodged in jail for two months at Nashville. At the expiration of this time facts were developed going uner ringly and very conclusively to show that the real 'robber'' was at large and the innocent imprisoned. It seems that the stage breakfasts at Scottsville, and while the driver atia passengers were at breakfast the negro men of J. C Mulligan cut the bags. Twenty-eight hundred dollars was found in their pos session, i REMARKABLE ESCAPE. A younff man named Worthington, charged with seducing the daughter of a Methodist clergyman, near Ashland, Ky., escaped fjom the constable on the 26ih, by jumping on the other's horse when he got off to arrest him. It is said the fellow off ered to marry the girl, to avoid punishment, but she (sensibly) refused to nave him believing the marriage vow would be but unmeaning wordi, when pronounced by a viuian who had deceived ner, MASONIC. Forty-one subordinate lodges of Free and Accepted Masons, within the prov inces of Canada, having, for causes set forth in a circular addressed to the different grand lodges of theworld, separated them selves irom tne grand lodges of England. Scotland and Ireland, and formed an inde pendent grand !odget were, on the 6th inst. recognized by the Grand Lodge of the Dis trict of Columbia. ,1 - Can't do without the women. A Hoosier in Kansas has been making bis fortune out of awoman's dress. There being- no women there the squatters give him a dol lar a sight, and pre-emption claim to put a piuow in it and give it a squeeze. RIOTOUS AFFAIR. Cincinnati, May 13 The German Tur ners1 Society of this city, whilst holding a celebration at Covington, Ky., yesterday, were annoyed by some boys, and handled them rather severely. Subsequently Mar shals Butts and Harney, in attempting to arrest the Turners, were severely wounded, the former by a pisto ball and the latter by a sabre cut. The most intense excite ment ensued, and large crowds of citizens collected, Some demanded the U. S. troops at Newport barracks to turn out, but they were refused. Stones were freely used, and some firearms were discharged, but no one except o ie of the officers was much hurt. Finally five of the Turners surren dWel vokirriH nty, and qukri was restored-' Tbe-Gerinans saythat the officers did not make themselves known or no resistance would have been offered them.

ALBRIGHT. 100-6t Nov. 6. CIRCULAR. A BOOK FOR EVERY SOUTHERN METHODIST Early io 1856, probably in the month of Febru ary, I expect to publish a new work to the partic ular features of which I beg leave to call your at tention. The Annals of Southern Methodism, for 1855, will be a 12 mo. volume of not less than 360 pages, well printed, from stereotype plates, upon good paper. It will contain all available statistics in every department of the operations of the MKTHODlSr EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH. The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal visi tation; accounts of the seesions of all the Confer ences held in 1S55, the appointments, numbers, &c; a summary of all reported revivals, notices of the dedication of new Churches; reports of College Commencements, with ail else connected with our educational movements; a resume of our Mission arv operations, embracing whatever seems of gene ral Interest in that department ; the movements of the Tract and Sunday School Societies; whatever appertains to oar publishing interests, with an nonncementa of all New Books published by our I Concern, or written by Southern Methodists ; what the Church is doing for the instruction of Skives Historical and Biographical Essays; interesting personal nminiscences ; and a miscellany of im portant facta aud incidents. THE "ANNALS." It is believed, will be a fair and full daguerreotype of the progress of Southern Methodism. It will occur to ton at once, that if 1 have sue ceeded in preparing this volume wiin any reasona ble amount of skilL it will not only be a very agree able book for present reading, bat thai every year will add to its val-ie as showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture of Its history. .u.

June V, PROSPECTUS OF THE "SOUTIIERN SENTINEL," 1 Democratic and SRscellaneous Journal, to be publish d weekly, at Wilson, JV. C. IMT E existing condition of political parties, and of pariizan strile, naturally suaaei'tathe estab lishing of such a journal as the 'outhern Senti nel' oroposej to become. The present, indeed, is a crUis in our political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has buen invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious libartysassailed ; balt'iL boxes broken and-ourni ; the toodaierkr of omt political ancestry partially effaced; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un dented ; strange and questionable men have been pushed into high positions ; and fanaticism, unchai ned irom lis axe and its faggot piles in tne north, is heard to howi among us in "he South. These evils, aofar as ii humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest, ft will endeavor to incul cate a reverence for the laws as they exist, and lor the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by ihe wise men ot the past and by the Fathers of the Uemocrallc laitn. It will defend not onl political but BCLioiocs liberty, and will do battle against ev ery political heresy that may appear, wnetnci hatched In caves or culverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve tne monotony of politics, devote space to literary topics, original and selected, as well as to miscellaneous subjects. which shall include Agricultural and the latest Com mercial intelligence. In brief.no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one ol the most useful and efficient journals in the outh. The first number of the Sentinel will be issued about the first of the next month, and sent to sub scribers at the rate of t'2 per annum : 92 50 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the vcar.

UTAS commenced on the 3d of Novembei, 1855, and has thus far received very general appro bation. Anxious to extend its influence, snd place it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publish er desires most earnestly to direct the attention ol the thinking public uf America to its claims upon their con-ideraiion. The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re views of Cuirent Literature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms uf all the mostimportant Booka as they are issued, pointing out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers Informed of all new publications which deserve their attention. It also contains Copious Intelligence of Affairs in tie Literary World, Gosstp concerning Books and Writers, Announcements of contemplated Publications, and Lists of New Books issued in America and Jburope. The Drama, Mutic, Fine Arts, and Science, also receive attention; and several columns of carefully selected and agreeable mat er are given in each number. In addition to the above there is a de partment of Miscellanea ior reading of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews; and a weekly collection ot Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety of curious and valuable information., It is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and I" some extent upon t-ur national character. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which ia being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading man the literarv intelligence alone must render it very de- Urible; and to all who wish to promote an improve ment in taste, the encouragement oi merit, and an anenmoromisinr condemnation of vicious stvle. mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enter prise cannot at least, shouia not oe maitlerenl. To members of Historical, Literacy and Scianti fic Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, the snbiectsdisesed in ihis piper will at all times prtve of peculiar Interest, and it ia the design of the editors to thoroughly canvass irom time to time those important philosophical questions which situate all inquiring minds, correcting falsa theo- riea,andencoara?ing profitable Investigation.
