The trees upon the place, round the dvtling and covering a lurge epnoe .poa tfee sides, were planted by his Wft hands, ami cultured by his taste. I wu informed ky his son, Mr." James B. Caly, that all the shade trees we saw there, wrtth. the exrceptian of a row of venerable locuts, were eet out by his father, and stood , still, as he plaalei thern- The row of lo cuts, skirts a walk.ef a hundred yards long vhich was a ipreaVfavoriw one with Mr. Clay, where-, with slow tread, meditative id absorbed, he walked ditily, elaborat ing thought, and still devatcd to the public concerns. The lot in which the family mansion stands is atoendifitly eruamented ith large evergreens, including the holly, wvith oaks, maples, and ashes M casting teep shadows pn a turf df luxuriant fclee grassy" Bifrlcliing away Kswards the south and west are wood'nrid pastil res 6f great beauty, with tieMsof grai-1, and open grass lots, in which moWc cattie and valu able horss grae and ihtive. The old homestead is gone. It haS serv ed its time, and menaced the dw-eliels in it , with a premature burial, ll torn down, and its place has been" supplied with one that retains the architectural f?rm cf the old. It is a building spacious and taste fully elegant, a fitting eirtbelishment o. thP spot where Henry C ay passed his year?.- Through the hospitality eff Mr. Clay, who offered me a home at his houso dur ing my stay in Leinglop, t vJ-as enabled to observe tninulery all the details of this ir.tercsling place. The interior of the dwelling is ftirrrished with much elegance arJ perfefft taste, ex ceedingly gratifying to ffrrtf's. ffense of fit ness and beauty. The octagonal forms of the parlors, the lofty ceilings, crimson and gold paper-hangings, rosewood furnitue, upholstered- in brocatelle, and the velvet carpets of gorgeous pattern, give an air of princely luxury to these apartments. A taong the objects of interest here were the memorials of affection and esteem presen ted to Mr. Clay during his life time by ma ny of his northern friends. It was noli-. ceable that oil of these were from fr ends in New England and New York gifts to the patriot who knew no North, no South, and whose love for the Union was limited by no geographical boundaries, nnd mingled with no sectional ambition. In the library, a room of unique and original design, I no ticed an article possessing much historic interest a brassbound, mahogany writing desk, the very one used by Mr. Clay when Commissioner to Orient. Among the paint ings that adorned the walls was the cele bratee picture of the Washington family, by Inman. ' Besides these, I noticed other articles of taste, which I had seen at the very beautiful residence of Mr. Clay, at the old Orchard tract, near five miles from St. Louis, when he was resident there. Before leaving Ashland, I passed over to the residence of Mr. John Clay, to pay my respects to the widow of Henry Clay. At the hour of the visit she was out taking an evening ride. I met her, however, amid the scenery endeare 1 to her by a thousand associations on a beautiful drive through the shades of the woods and pastures of Ashland. Mrs. Clay is seventy-six years of age. Until within a year she has been in hearty good health. Her feebleness is now, how ever, growing manifest, and the time is not remote, when in the tomb to be erected for her husband, and by his side, she, too, will be consigned to her final earthly reposo. St. Iouis Republican. LIFE IN NEW YORK. . The Times thinks that two-thirds of the anxious, worn, candiverous visages which flit up and down Wall-st, in ag ony, any of these days, belong to men, who start in life with two great objects ; to be President of the United States or as rich as Mr. Asfor. As there cannot be more than one President of the Uni ted States at a time, and as the office cannot be had by any successful amount of stock-jobbing, the majority speedily abandon all Itopes of presiding over this great nation, and fix their whole atten tion upon Mr. Aster's fortune. A BATTLE INCIDENT. -At the battle of the Thames, a laugha ble Incident "occurred, which is thus rela ted by one wh"o' was in thoengag.ment:, The Brtish General had formed his men In open order, with their cannon-pointing down the foad, by which, (he Americans were advancing. Oen. Hdffison immedi ately took advantage of this, and ordered Col. Johnson's mounted regiment to Charge at speed by heads of companies so as to expose the least possible front) pass.through the opei. intervals, and form in the rear. of the British forces. This movement was brilliantly executed by the battalion under the command of LC C 1. James Johnson, his brother, Col. H. M. Johnson, at the sarao time charging the Indians with 4he Other battalion. It happened that in one 'of the c6"rrfpa'nies under Jamos Johnson's comniand. ' there tras a huge, brawney fellow, named Lamb ; be weighed about 24fJ lbs.,-was" a brave man, and as gwod humored as" big, brntre men proverbially are 5 Lamb had broken down bis Kentucky tofse by hJsgrent weight, and was mounted instead, upon a short, stout, wild,- Canadian pony; from whose sides hrs long limbs depended almost to the ground, while his bulky frame ros high above the Ifeast locking not unlike an overgrown boy astflde of a roVgh sheep. 'When the" 6ha"fge wa made, Lamb pony took frigfrt and broke into a Tun. . Lamb ptilled until the bit broke in the aiv. imttl's mouth, and all command of hitrr was lost ,Thfe little pony stretcrfed himself as to the wofk, lashed out ef lhe"ranks, 6oon 1 outstripped all the Pie leaders and pushed on in advatfee oi tne company, unmn was no longer master of his hotse or himself, and he was In a quandaf . if rolled -off he would be tfafnpled to death by his friends ; if the horso rushed uporf t fe British" lines With him,8o' faf a head of the est he must be killed. Either way deal h seefned ine vitable, "and, to use his epfess"io'rr, he thought 'he'd jist eay sorrfetbing they could tell his friends in Kentucky, v? hen tbey went home. " He stuck both heels IrtlrJ (he' peny's, flartks and- urgw?d him to his utmost speed. On they r!rove, some fifty yards in front of the leaning file, Lamb's gigantic persons swinging in' a most protentoua fash on the little Canadian "pulling hat all he knew how, his tail straight, his nostrils dis tended, his ears pinned back, and bis eyes flashed from under their shaggj fdretop, with all the spite and spleen of abafn de vil. Just as he got within a striile or two of the British, Lamb flourished his rifle'and roared out in a voice of thunder : '-Clear the way, d n you 1 for I'm coining 1" Tohis surprise the lines opened rightand left, and he passed through unhurt. So great whs their astonishment at the strange apparition of such a rider, and suck a horse moving upon them, with furious velocity, that I hey opened mechanically at his word of command and let him pass. So soon as he gained the rear of t he. r position Lamb rolled on the-grass, and suffered his pony togUon his own road A few - rrrteutes more, find be was with his comfarfesse- curirfg the prisoners. , RALEiGH &,GASTON RAILROAD RiLfeiCrt, Oct. ,10 A meeting of the directors of thii Road was held in this Ci ty on Tuesday last present, Dr. W. J. Hawkins, President, and Messrs. . Alfred Jorios, Geo. W. Mordecai, G. H. Wilder, John G. King, Thomas Miller, and Alien C. Perry. We haftf that ai dividend of six per cent, was declared for the past year, amounting to about 838,000, of which the State will re ceive aboiK $30,000 The sum of $6,000 was aUo carried to the sinking fund of the Road, which is now about $28,000. This fund as accumulating for the purpose of discharging the debt of the Company of $10O,0QriJ. The debt of the Company at this lima is, therefose. really only 872, 000. We Jeafn lhat the current expanses of the Road fo the past year were $98)00, and the extraordinary expenses, on account cf repairs between Gistonand Wehlorrand the Gaston bridge, 60,000. The income of the Road the past year was 8204.000, being an increase of about $21,000' over the preceding jeaf. But for the extraordinary expenses re (erred to, a dividend of six per Cent, would no doubt have been declared fjt the fiscal year preceding the one which' tas just ex pired. The Road is now in excelJerrt ordcf the freights and travel arc increasing and its marked prosperity furnishes the best evi deiee of the able and energetic manner in which its affairs have beer conducted. We learn that the Gaston bridge has been so far completed that the cars .are passing Over it, meeting the Petersburg cars. The understanding was that the old Greenville Road was t bo repa,reJ and laid with" heavy iron as soon as the Gaston brktue was finished, or as soon thereafter as prac ticable; but there ate no indications yet, we learn, of the contemplated and much i eeded improvement in the Greenville Road. The $30,000 above referred ' to as the State's portion of tho Raleigh and Gaston dividend, will be.the first item of income of the Sinking Fund authorized by the last Legislature. If the North-Carolina Road should deelare a dividend, during the en suing winter or spring, of six per cent on the State's million of preferred stock in that Road Hind the general impression seems to be that it will do this, and probably more the Sinking Fund will amount, by the i -leeting of the next Legislature, to between one hundred and twenty una one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Dear Express : Yesterday our court room was the scene of an uncommonly interesting and important criminal pros ecution. The case under consideration. was that oi the Commonwealth ?. Mae and ."Andrew, two, slaves charged with the murder of Benjamin Edwards. As I have alluded to this case in several previous communications, and as most of your readers are doubtless familiar -with all its particulars, I deem it totally unnecessary togr into detail. A little before noon the two prisoners were brought hi and seated within the bar. The room was tmnsually crowded.- Every countenance seemed to be filled with intense;' anxiety.' Soon the anxious crowd ' was commanded to be silent.' Tbeu commenced fhri examin ation of the witnesses which" occupied a greater portion of the day,-?everal ot the testifier high order ingenuity was requisite nera tfre destred niiormauon. i ne poor creatures were examined andcross examined until they scarcely knew where they were. Of course, nothing was done tart .what was" sheerly neces sary. ' " At a late' hour in the aiternoon the tedious examination ended. And then Came the oral combat. Col. J. R. Cham bliss, and J. R. Thorp, Esq., spoke in behalf of tlio Commonwealth; ; W. T. Lundy of Hicksford, and A. C. Butts and 3r Y. Gholson, Esqs., of Petersburg, appeared for the defence. Their speech es were all listened to with great eager ness and attention. I forbear tocom ment upon so many able efforts. At the conclusion o'f the prosecutor's last speech the audience were all agog to know the denouement of the trial. Every one left his seat. Anxiety was depicted on every face. Presently it was announc ed that the prisoners were discharged And thus terminated one of the most in teresting trials that has ever taken place within the count v of Greensville. - ' M. BROTHERLY AFFECTION. In the regn of diieen Anne, a soldier belonging to the marching regiment which wns quartered in the city of Worcester, was tuhen tp fo? treseJ'lion, and, being tried by a court-martial, was sentenced to be shot. The Colonel and Lieuitnent-Colo-nel being nt the time in London, the com mand of the regtm'ent descended in couree to the MjoryR-.rsrvs"t true! and inhuman man. The day on which (he destrier- was to be executed ftriving arrived, the regi ment as is ustral on" tftrch" occasions, was drawn out to see the execution. It is the eustoin on these occasion to draw lots fronn the several" corporals for this disagreable office ; and $hch everyone ex pected to see these lots a3 usual, they were surorised to find that the Major had given ordes that the prisoner should die by live hands of his on brothrf, who was only a private in the same company j and who, when the cruel orderarrived, was taking leave of his unhappy brother,, autl with tears fast flowing, that expressed the an guish of his soul, hanging for the last time about his neck. , On his knees dul the" poor fellow beg that he might not have a hand in his brother's death ; and the poor prisoner, forgetting for the moment petitions to' Heaven, beg ged fo die by any hands than those of his brother. The unrelenting officer, however, could by no eans be prevailed on to re voke his cruel sentence, though entreated to do so by every officer in the regiment ; on the contrary, he swore that the brother, and he only4s1iould be the executioner, if it were merely for example's sake, to make justice appear more terrible."" When much lime had been wasted" hi fruitless endeavors to soften the rigor of thie inhnmin sen tence, the prisoner prepared to die, and the brother to be the executioner. The Major, strict to the maxims of cru elty stands close to see that the piece was properly loaded ; which being done, he directs that the third motion of his cane shall be the signal to' fire. Accordingly, at the third motion, the M-ajor, instead ol the prisoner, received the bullet through his own head,- and fell lifeless to the grourrd. ' The man no sooner discharged the piece, than throwing it on the ground he exclaim ed : "He that can give no mrcy. no mercy let him receive. Now, I submit ; I had rather die this hour for that man's death, than live a thousand years and take away' the life of my brother." - No one seemed to be sorry for this unex pected piece of justice on the inhman Ma jor and the man being ordered into custo dy, many gentlemen present, who had been witnesses to the whole affair, joined to en treat the officers to defer the execution of the other .brother tilt tho dueeo's pleasure snouid oe known. The request being complied with, the City Chan.ber that very night drew up a very feeling nd pathetic address to her Majesty, setting forth the unpar Ulcled cru elty of the deceased olficer, and humbly entreated her Majesty's pardon fcr bcth the brothers. Tho brother 'were parJonc 1 a-i I dis charge! from the army. FINE CANES. WE HAVE just opened a large and elegant va riety of fine Walkin? Canes.

"TflE SOUTHERN CITIZEN." .1 Xev PolUirali Cmmnercial and Literary Journal. OHN MITCHELL & WILLIAM G. SWAN, EDITORS AKD PROPRIETORS. T E Title of this Joujnal, with the names of its Editors, may be nearly enough to indi cate its aims. One of those Editors being an American ritizen by birth ; the other intending to become such b adoption; there is no quest ion all'ectinz the des tinies of Americans, on wfrieh they will ht Id themselves de 'Ufred from openly express an opinion. ' i he pne a -Southerner by birth the other, by prelerf nee, ihey cannot be of those w ho know "No South, No North." They well know both; and in the struggle which theSotrth is now Called upon to make for her own rights and honor, they mean to stand with the South. A thoroushly Democratic and States-Rights Journal, ''The Southern Citizen" will neverthe less decline to be catlrd "Partizan ;'i unless the Constitution oi the United Slates is to be called a pnriizin document. It will uphold the Federal Union, provided the sovereignity of ihe confederated States be respect ed : if not, not. HolfMnu that the Institution of Negro Slavery is a sound, just,wholesome Institution ; and there fore, thai the question of re-opening the African Slave Trade, i- a Question of expediency alone, the conductors of "The Southern Citizen" will .in view o1 the late action of the Southern Conttuer, cial Convention, at Knojcvillr, apply themselves to search out and bring to light, all accessible in formation bearing Upon thai important subject on the whole industrial Condi'ion and necessities of the South' on the actual state of the negro ra cesof Africa, and on the policy and action of Eu ropean Powers in reference to the Stave Trade. Res iding at Knoxville ; and choosing this point as the place from whence their Journal is to em anate, the conductors of "The Southern- Citizen" will be guided in the matter of State Politics, by the genera' prifieiples above indicated. It will belong to no clique of office seekers, in short, it will suppoit the candidates fir all officers, who will support the equal rights of the Sovereign slaies, Norih and aouth- the equal rights of the Sovereign Citizens, wherever they may have been born, wherever they may worship or nt worship. On Agricultural nd Commercial affairs on the progress of Internal Improvements, ahd especially of our Southern Railroads, there will be an ample anil caretuity eompiiea weekly report. Literary articles and Reviews, will form a main feature of "The Southern Citizen." Intellectual grandeur, wherever it appears in the world, shall ' meet prompt jrnd zealous recognition. We do not need to shut out lih and stifle inquiry : but, in this department as well as in Politics, we shall take leave to examine and judge Irom our own view; not importingour ipinions from England, stiil less at second hand from New England. To Ihe utmost of our power, we shall aid tho movement which at length stirs the South to vindicate her own intel lectual aud moral existence,' to revolve round her own centre of thought, and to appeal to a standard ot taste alid of ethics high above thexonsideration of political or comnferciat rivalry. Especial care will be taken id furnisH a weekly digest of all the news of the world, attiome and abroad. Conducting their new Journal in thfs spiri', and constantly endeavoring to make good these un dertakings, it is presumed that ''The S'outhern Citizen" will meet with the support which it may deserve.
