Kortbern and Southern Morality.
The late unfortunate occurrence, by which
a negro woman came to her death through the
violence of an overseer, in this county, will
no doubt afford a text upon which more than
one Abolition sefmon will be preached by
our eommon defamers in the North, and eve-
rywhere among that despicable party the in-
cident |will be mentioned and exaggerated
with all the horrors which fertile imaginations
and reckless disregard of truth can embellish
it, as one of the results of the institution of
slavery, and as an every day occurrence
wherever that institution exists. Greeley will
gloat over it, and regale the delighted readers
ofthe Tribune with the rehearsal ofthe damn-
ing deed, and Harriet Beechcr Stowe may,
perhaps, base upon it another work of fiction,
with which to gull the easy entrapped fanatics
from whom she has already extorted an afflu-
ent fortune, while thousands of their co-labo-
rers on (be other side of the Atlantic will
deem the murder of a slave as one of the
pleasant pastimes of our people, as the gladia-
torial games of the Romans were of that rude
age. Take it all in all, it is a paragraph for
which the pious gentry of the Abolition press
would pay more for than they are wont to do
for Executive documents, surreptitiously ob-
tained, before the injunction of secresy has
been removed, through the perjury of their
own apostles in Congress.
In all ages, in all climes, and in every sec-
tion of our own country, men are occasionally
found more deserving the title of friends
than possessing any claims to humanity. If
an isolated case, like the one to which we have
alluded, and which is revolting enough, oc-
curs in the South, it is not very difficult to
point as an ofiset to acts in the North, the
commission of which would cause even the
guilty party here to shudder. If the act of
a brutal and infuriated overseer is to be taken
as evidence of Southern barbarity, it would
be equally as just for us to rate the morality
of New York by the conduct of Tucker, who
seized his own sleeping infant and murdei'ed
it in cold blood, in the presence of its wretch-
ed mother. Or, if the late unfortunate con-
flict between Dr. Graham and Mr. Loring is
to be considered "peculiar" to the South and
Southern men, have we not as much reason to
argue that "th£ murder of Parkman by Pro-
fessor "Webster, and the cool, deliberate, cJiem'
ical mode. 9f secreting the dead body is char-
acteristic of the North ? Would it be con-
sidered geneious to measure the morality of
the good old puritanic city of Boston by this
standard ?
The stereotyped charges of vice and immo-
rality, against the South, with which the nor-
thern papers teem, is not only ungenerous, it
is untrue. A large proportion of the crimi-
nals in the South and West are refugees from
the Atlantic States—adventurers who are fre-
quently forced to leave their native cities to
escape the argus-eyed vigilance of those re-
nowned officers of justice, whose long and in-
timate acquaintance with crime, in all its
phases, have rendered them invincible in the
Be-
sides, that mask of hypocrisy is not used to
veil the acts of immoral men here which eve-
ry villain assumes there. If our cities are
filled with gaming rooms and drinking sa-
loon, they are open to the gaze of the world.
If assignation houses are here, they stand a
monument of vice, which -the virtuous can
shun, for they are as palpable to the public as
the light-house to the mariner, to warn all of
danger. Is it so in New York—in Philadel-
phia, in Boston? No! Attic hells and sub-
terranean dram-shops without number are
there, open only to those who can be invei-
gled thither by persons engaged for the pur-
pose of decoying the unsuspecting. There
are gilded saloons in Broodway, and there are
If all accounts -tee respectable assignation houses in Chestnut

would be productive of mnch good.

the New York Times, writing from Saratoga,
is resfeasible for the following:
"There has beenaristoeracy here of all grades
aad^wles, from the genuine "rimon pure/'
dowato the ('mushroom" and "codfish;"
and I looked in one evening and saw the valet
de t hSn\re of a gentleman at one hotel walta-
iag with <me of the haughtiest beauties, who
-""foil denominated the "belle " at the other.—
He may have been quite as good as his mat-
ter; but {-doubt whether the young lady
' would have smiled so graciously on him, or
permitted his moastache to come so near her
cheek, if she had known that he had spent
part of the evening brushing coats and black-
ing boots."
That is the difference; in the North the
ladies tarn up their pretty noses at white
t, and sympathise most feelingly
with Spntbern darkies of the same trade.—

liold the balance of power in Maine, Ver- [ od.crir.se- in often a pillar in the church of
tised than in the public brothels and bawdy-
houses at the five points. These are the re-
sort of the fashionable, the wealthy, thejji'ojfs
and the respectable criminals of those cities
whose anathemas are so loud and emphatic
against Southern immorality.
In what city of the South, we would ask,
can be found a character equal to that of
Madame Hestell ? Yet she lives like a million-
aire from the proceeds of her hellish profes-
sion ; and her fees are all derived from the
wealthy, the cultivated, the fashionable and
the pious citizens of Gotham. We scarcely
open a Northern paper that does not contain,
under the local head, some account of an in-
fanticide, a crime almost totally unknown in
the South. Why is this ? The answer is
plain: The unrelenting fury with which a
female is persecuted when detected in indis-
cretion by those hypocritical prudes who have
succeeded in hiding their own shame, drives
the victim to the commission of murder, in
order to cover the original sin.
We have no disposition to palliate crime,
whether committed in the North or the South,
and view the late cruel murder in this county
with as much abhorrence as any one. This
is the feeling of the community, and we ven-
ture to assert that the criminal will be pun-
ished with more rigor and severity than if his
victim had been a white man. Have the
murderers of Batcheldcr, shot down in the
streets of Boston by an Abolition mob, while
endeavoring to enforce the laws of the land,
been tried and convicted ? If they have the
press of that city have neglect#! to record
the fact.
The immense preponderance of crime in
the North over that in the South is attributed
to the peculiar organization of society there.
The half-fed, half-paid population of the
overgrown Atlantic cities, are driven to deeds
of crime by the cupidity of northern manu-
facturers, who in their anxiety to secure the
"almighty dollar," pay their employees but
starvation wages. The thirty thousand scw-
girls of New York are driven by these
samc^ mercenary wretches to the house of
prostitution by pinching hunger. The ten
thousaud houseless vagabonds in that city are
driven to the commission of larceny in order
to keep body and soul together. The widows
and the orphans who stroll in beggary through
thoroughfares of these cities, are frequently
the victims of some inflated capitalist, whose
reputation for benevolence is measured by
sum total of his subscriptions to the
the
njotit, and several other Stat
! ChrH
Slave Trade.—Mr. Crawford the British
consul at Havana, states that the slaves im-
ported into Cuba in 1853, exceeded the num
ber of any one year before (except 1844) for
eleven years. He reports eleven or twelve
ships that landed nine or ten thousand slaves
from the coast of Afijca.—Galveston News.
Great Britain spends largo sums annually
for the suppression of the slave trade in Cuba,
which is a cause of much complaint against
Spain for her non-observance of treaties. If
the English are really in earnest, why do they
not advise Spain to take a step to cheek the
traffic at once? The sale of Cuba to the
United States would put a final stop to the
introduction of Africans into the Island. It
would be a great saving to the British treasu-
ry and a vast economy could be thus effected
in the distresses, discomforts and troubles
both British and American-Abolitonists suffer
on account of the unfortunate negroes, who
are torn from their black masters at home,
and from their bounteous feastings upon the
dainties of their native land;—described by
Lander as comprising " lizards, rats, locusts
and caterpillars" and sold in a land of planty.
NoW is it not surprising that the great
philanthropists on both sides the Atlantic have
never discovered the true method to ease
themselves of a world cf grief? Is it not
strange they are the most violent, persistent,
opponents of the acquisition of Cuba by the
United States ? It would be a sin approaching
sacrilege to question the sincerity or the pro-
found benevolence of these red-hot lovers of
all negro-dom. On that point they could not
be suspected. We are bound to believe they
"zealously affect" their parts, notwithstanding
their preachings and practices do not always
assimilate.
Negotiations.—The conditions upon
which Russia is willing to evacuate the
Principalities for the purpose of restoring
peace are summed up by jCount Nesselrode
in a despatch to Prince Gortsehakoff, Russian
Envoy at Vienna; dated June 17—29,1854.
The conditions are preoeded by a disclaimer,
as follows:
The Cabinet of Vienna may, beforehand,
he persuaded that his Majesty shares in the
same degree with it the desire of putting as
speedy a term as possible to the crisis which
weighs at this moment upon all European
situations. Our august master still wishes, as
he always has wished, for peace. He does
not wish—we have repeated it, and we repeat
it again—either indefinitely to prolong the
occupation of the Principalities, or to establish
himself there in a permanent manner, or to
incorporate them with his States, still less to
overthrow the Ottoman empire. In this res-
peet he makes no difficulty to subscribe to
the three principles laid down in the protocol
of the 9th April:
Integrity of Turkey.—This point has noth-
ing which is not conformable to all we have
hitherto enounced, and it will not be mena-
ced by us as long as it shall be respected by
the Powers which occupy at this moment the
waters and the territory of the Sultan.
Evacuation ofthe Principalities.—We are
willing to proceed therewith on suitable
securities being given.
Consolidation of the Rights ofthe Christians
iu Turkey.—-Stalking from the ide.t that the
civil rights to be obtained for all the Christian
subjects of the Porte are inseparable from the
religious rights as stipulated by the protocol,
and wouldbeeome valueless for our co-religioii-
ists if the latter, in acquiring new privileges,
didnot retain theancientones, we have already
declared that if it was thus the demand which
the Emperor has made to the Porte would be
fulfilled, the motive of the difference set aside,
and his Majesty ready to concur in the Euro-
pean guarantee of those privileges.
The contents were of course laid before the
French Minister. On the 22nd June, M.
Drouyn de L. Hugs forwarded a despatch to
Baron de Bourqueney, Minister of Lotus
Napoleon at Vienna, which contains a reply
to the communication of Count Nesselrode.—
The basis upon which the Allies are willing
to treat are thus given:
France and England could not therefore
consent to a suspension of arms on the vague
assurances given by Count Nesselrode touching
the pacific dispositions of the St. Petersburgh
Cabinet. The sacrifices made by the allied
Powers are very considerable, the object they
have in view is great enough for them not to
stop on the way before having the certitude
of not being obliged to recommence the war.
The particular conditions they will put for
peace depend upon too many eventualities for
them to indicate them at present, and in this
respect they reserve their opinion.
However, M. Ic Baron, the Government
of his Imperial Majesty is perfectly willing to
make known at once -some of the guaranties
which appear to it indispensable to reassure
Europe against the return of a new and proxi-
mate perturbation. These guaranties result
from the very situation which pointed out the
dangers of their absence. Thus Russia has
taken advantage of the exclusive right of
surveillance which treaties conferred upon her
in the relations of Moldavia and Wallachia,
with the sovereign power to enter those prov-
inces as if they were her own territory. Iler
privileged position in the Euxine has allowed
her to form establishments iu that sea and to
develop there an amount of naval forces which,
from a want of all counterbalance, are a
perpetual menace against the Ottoman Empire.
The possession without control of the principal
mouth of the Dr.uube by Russiti has created
moral and material obstacles of the naviga-
tion of that great river which affect the com-
merce of all notions. Finally, the articles of
the treaty of Kutehuk. Kanardji relative to
the religious protection have become, in con-
sequence of an abusive interpretation, the
original cause of the struggle now maintained
by Turkey.
On all these points there are new regula-
tions to be established and important modifica-
tions to.be made to the status quo aula helium.
It may be said, I thinlc, that the common
interest of Europe will demand—
1. That the protectorate exercised hitherto
by the Imperial Court of Russia over the
Principalities of Moldavia, Walachia, and
Servis shall cease in future, and that the
privileges accorded by the Sultans to those
dependent provinces of their Empire should,
in virtue of an arrangement concluded with
the Sublime I'orte, be placed under the collec-
tive guaranty of the Powers.
2. That the navigation ot* the mouths of
the Danube should be freefrom all obstruction,
and subject to the application of the principles
consecrated by the acts of the Congress of
Vienna.
3. That the treaty ofthe 13th of July, 1841,
should be revised by agreement of the high
contracting Powers in an interest, of European
equilibrium, and in the sense of a limitation
ofthe power of Russia in the Black Sea.
4. That no Power shall claim the right ot'
exercising an official protectorate over the
subjects of the Sublime Porte, no matter to
which right they belong, but that France,
Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia
shall give their mutual concurrence to obtain
from the initiative of the Ottoman Govern-
ment tne consecration and observance of the
religious privileges of the different religious j
communities, and turn to aecount, in the
reciprocal interests of their co-religionists, the
generous intention manifested by his Majoty '
the Sultan, without any infringement upon
the dignity and independence of his crown
resulting therefrom.
There is little probability of the acquies-
cence of Nicholas to treat upon the terms laid
down by the Allies. The prospect of a con-
tinuation of the war, is favorable. If Prussia
joins in the edntcst it will be on the side of
Russia and the Austrian division in favor of
the Allies, will be thus check-mated.
John B. Gough, the celebrated Tem-
perance lecturer, states that out of five hun-
dred thousand persons who signed the Tem-
perance pledge in the United States, four
hundred thousand ha*c violated it. John
does not tell us how many of the latter were
drugged in Walker St., New York.
Illinois Central Railroad.—The Uni-
ted States Economist has the following para-
graph on this subject:
Few persons fully appreciate the quantity
"of land that is contained in the grant in aid
of the Illinois railroad. The quantity is
2,600,000 acres. How much is two millions
six hundred thousand acres ? Neither more
nor less than the dimensions of the whole of
the State of Connecticut, as follows:
Official return of Connect-
icut, 2,733,879 acres.
Lands patented to Illinois
Central Railroad, 2,578,060 acres.
A person or company that should own the
whole State of Connecticut in fee, free of
debt, with all its rocks, rivers, swamps, bays,
hills, dales and valleys, would be possessed of
a good farm, notwithstanding that a very
large proportion of it would be unremunera-
tive, being unsusceptible of cultivation and
ineligible for occupation. The State of Con-
necticut contains 369,000 inhabitants, 60,378
dwellings 547 miles of railroad, and a taxa-
ble valuation of §300,000,000.
This is what has grown up upon a "patch"
of land equal to the quantity owned by the
Illinois Railroad, but far beneath it in value.
The land owned by the road is all selected for
its fertile qualities and eligible location. There
is none of it waste or unprofitable- There is
no portion of it remote from railroad convey-
ance to (the best markets North and South.
It is all aecessiblc to the most abundant sup-
plies of bituminous coal—the whole quantity
of coal in the whole Union is 133,000 miles,
one-third of which is in Illinois. The supply of
timber by railroad from the North is limitless.
Here arc all the elements for the support of
an immense population.
Should the Pacific Railroad be built through
Texas, under the present law, the lands ac-
quired by the company, would amount to
about 10,240,000 acres, or about four times
as much as the above. So we offer nearly
four such States as Connecticut to any one
who will complete our road.
Mr. Soule and the Press Banquet.
The following letter, from the London Times,
of September 5th, was addressed by Mr.
Soule, the United States Minister at Madrid,
to the Committee of the Banquet of the Lib-
eral Press, excusing himself from accepting
an invitation to be present at it:
"Gentlemen : It is with deep regret that
I find myself prevented, by the extreme deli-
cacy of my health, from accepting the invi-
tation with which you have honored me.
But for this you may be assured that J
have heartily taken part in the patriotic ban-
quet destined to celebrate the invincible con-
stancy with which a part of the press of Ma-
drid has in these latter days known how to
unite in the same sentiments, and direct to-
wards the same object the discordant elements
of a party which only required 'to place itself
in accord in order to triumph over the shame-
ful despotism, under which at policy as fastidi-
ous as abject, crushed the freedom of thought
and stifled its most legitimate aspirations.
I have hailed wich profound reflection, and
with all the fenror of holy enthusiasm the
result which has worthily crowned such noble
efforts; it only remains for me to offer ^ip
my wishes that those who have so powerfully
contributed to place Spain in the glorious
path which has just been opened to her, may
continue to be iher indefatigable supporters
until truth shall be disembarrassed from all
the obstacles which may still obstruct it, or.
only render it little practicable. Spain may,
if she wishes, pacifically consolidate, and, in
a few months, what persevering England
could achieve only at the price of two revo-
lutions, of a war of twenty yenrs, of a des-
potism of twelve, of a change of dynasties,
and of a century and a half of internal agi-
tations and struggles. Aid her, gentlemen,
in the task, still more difficult than yourtawn,
and which it is nevertheless necessary that
she should realize, if she wishes to place her
liberties, and with her liberties her glory and
her future grandeur, out of the reach of the
perfidies and the treasons which will be at-
tempted against her by the Spirit of tyranny,
the assassins paid by power. The heart of
loung America, be assured, will palpitate
with joy and happiness at the warm and per-
fumed breezes which will waft to it. across the
ocean the acclamations of enfranchised Spain.
Let me be allowed to say that my own heart
is intoxicated with felic-ity at the hope that
Europe, apathetic as she may appear, will
not allow to weaken and perish the germs of
regeneration which the sublime sacrifice of
some af your sons has just caused so wonder-
fully to shoot up for her. Accept, gentle-
men, with the expression of my gratitude,
the assurance of the lii^h esteem with which
I am pleased to e;dl myself, your sincere and
true friend, PIERRE SOULE.

Japanese Customs,
Tho expidition of Com. Perry has given tho
worlp a better acquaintance with the Jappan-
ese. The net-work of nouintercourso with |
which she had for centuries enveloped herself
is now broken, and eie long the commerce,
with that hitherto uncommercial people, will
constitute an important item. But to tho
tract.
A Tamk Whale.—An eastern traveler, in
a newly published work entitled*'Notes of trav-
el,-' relates the following singular fact' which
came under his observation Mat uscat: "No
visitor is bettor welcomed by tho natives than
' Muscat Tom.' This name has been given by
sailors to a male fin back whale which has
made a habitual practice fur over forty years to
cx, enter, feed and frolic about tho cove several
i hours in each day, always leaving before night.

The Japanese at Dinner.—It was exceed- to be a female, accompanied him. His length
ingly difficult to obtain any moat iu the conn- raay be not less than seventy feet and that5 of
try, although the Japanese were very willing to his companion fifty feet. Since his arrival siu-
partake of the meats that were offered on nilies the departure of the sharks which infest
board tho ship. Tho most solid part of their ;he waters to the prevention of sea bathinu by
food consists of schrimps or crawfish, and a •' •' ■ •
dish the Americans supposed (o be a species of
snake, but which was probably a kind of fish.
Thej-have a custom at tho table which shows
that they take thought for tho morrow ; after
eating they deliberately proceed to take away
wilh them any article of food of which they
are especially fond, and for this purpose provide
themselves with paper wrappers previous to
dining. At a dinner given by the officers of
the ship one day, a chief carefully enveloped
a whole chicken in a number of papers, and
carried it off, first offering papers toothers for
a similar use. Their mode of cooking is doubt-
less more pleasing to themselves than to our
people, for they are not over nice in preparing
ihcii food.
Jafpan£se Duels.—Their mode of settling
affairs of honor is very singular and worthy
the attention of gentleman who have occasion
to adjust such matters. If one gentleman in-
sults another to such a degree that the affront
should be settled by death, the insulted party
disembowels himselt with a sharp knife, which
he always carries; and now comes tho "satis-
faction the insulting party or person who
has given the affront, must imitate tho exam-
ple of his opponent with the alternative of being
regarded as a consumate cowa/d, whom the
f iend ofthe former may kill at the first oppor-
t unity as ho would a dog.
Pistols and Locomotives.—They did not
know the use of the locomotive, and at first
seemed to regard the model as a toy, but the
engine was soon put in motion and a rapid
speed attained. They were ilelighled with
the boats, Colt,s repeaters, carbines, telegraph
etc, but they did not regard the agriculture,
implements very favorably.
Strength of tiie Japanese.—The working
class of people are very stout and athletic; one
of them can take a bag of rice which a strong
American cannot lift, and throw it on his
shoulder, with perfect ease. They iunre them
selves to hardships and were sometimes seen
by our informant almost naked, although the
weather was very cool.

Indians.—By Tuesday's mail from Laredo we
have intelligence from' (hat place ami "points
below as late as the 6th instant—the mail
having come thiongh in four days, thus making
the 'quickest trip on record ."Affairs seem pros-
perous iu the vanguard of our settlements. The
only drawback to their prosperity is the con-
tinual depredations of the Indians. On this
subject, we give the following extract of a let-
ter from a reliable correspondent at Carrizo, a
■flourishing town opposite the old Mcxican one
of Guerrero.
"We have had quite an exciting time of it
here for the last day or two; yesterday Capt.
Lewellen Jones of the rfles who was on his way
from Laredo to this place with a party of ten
men came across a fresh Indian trail about 10
miles above here. He started at once in pur-
suit and after following tho trail about 15 miles
to a point some four miles distant from this
place back from the river, he overtook the In-
dians, who numbered from 10 to 15 and alter
a hard fight succeeded in dispersing them:
killing one Indian and wounding threo more,
taking from thcin seven horses, saddles, and

From the Insurgennts.—The revolution-
ists across the Rio Grande seem to be gradual-
ly.gaining ground. In the early part of the
week we learned of their having possession of
the towns of Linares, Moute"?orolos and Cad-
areyta, in the State of Nuevo Leon, and yester-
day and to-day the report is accredited that
the capitol of Nuevo Leon, Monterey, had fall-
en, iuto the hands of the patriots, by invitation
of its inhabitants. If this latter report be true,
and we believe it i^ the revolutionists have
now possession of the strongest position north of
the Sierra Madre mountains, with arms and
munitions in abundance. As to the fact of
their being in Monterey, howevor, there may
be some donbt. The last reliablo information
we have from them, they \vero at Linares and
Montemorelos. It was known, however that
Monterey was without soldiers, Gen. Ainpudia
had seutthe lorce garrisoning that place, 300
men under a Colonel Oronoz, against tho reb-
els at Victoria, and the latter by stratagem
placed his force in the rear and occupied the
towns on the road to Monterey.—Brownsville
FtaS.
Volunteers—The Dallas Herald has the fol-
lowing on this subject.
Our friends in Tarrant have organized a
company of Rangers and tendered their servi-
ces t« the Governor under the late call. We
also learn that Capt- Fitzhugh, of Collin, has
raised a company of 100 men in that county,
with a similar design. Hundreds in this sec-
tion of country, besides those who^have joined
these companies are auxious to join the ser-
vice, bat the chances of being received are so
doubtful that scores will not make tho attempt.
\Vc learn on the most reliable authority, that
the Goveruor has made an appointment of the
men called for between the different counUes.
The following is the apportionment for this
District:
Eighty-eight men—Hill 2. Johnson 2, Ellis 5,
Tarrant 5, Dallas 8, Collin 8, Denton 4, Cooke
2, Gfciysou 7, Fannin 8, Lamar 9, Hopkins S,
Hunt 7. Kaufman 4, Van Zandt 3, Henderson 3,
total 88.
Should any county fail to furnish its quota,
t he deficiency is to bo mado up from the other
counties. We do not doubt that the Governor
has been actuated by a praiseworthy desire to
give all sections an equal chance in furnishing
he men, but the plan will be attended with
much trouble and difficulty, and will produce
what it was intended to avoid, general dissat-
isfaction. The best plan alter all, in our judg-
ment-, would have been to have selected "good
men and true," and authorized them to laise
the companies. This plan has always worked
well in Texas, and the only dissatisfaction it
causes is among a few aspirants for office.
From the above it appears the difficulty feared
by many, in regard to the method of selecting
volunteers, will be seriously felt. It is to be
much regretted. Many persons will quit prof-
itable employments—make outlays for arms
and equipments then have to remain at home;
suffering both disappointment and loss.
the naiives, the most strenuous caution is ob-
served not to interfere with his pursuits and di-
versions. Ho shows no fear of such vessels as
tresspass upon his watery field. One day as
ho came rolling: leisurely and jollily along side
of a vessel at anchor in tho harbor, and on
board ot which I was, one of the crew threw,
with considerable impetus, a stick of wood into
his open month as he raised his head out of
the water. This breach.of good treatment
which lie had been wont to receive did not
draw any signs of displeasure from his whale-
ship, although more than one malediction was
bestowed upon the imprudent- tar by exasper-
ated natives who had observed his ceusurable
conduct.
Gerrit Smith as Mr. Colquitt.—Frederick
Douglas's paper contains a letter from Gerritt
Smite, in which he relates how he was instru.
mental in procuring the pardon of Hanson.
The same paper speaks of this case as showing
"practical benevolence" on the part of Mr.
Smith. So it does ; but we see in it also the
same evidence of "practical benevolence" on
the part of several sl'aveholding members of
Congress, whom Abolition is wont to stigma-
tize with all sorts of evil epithets. Mr. Smith
says:
Hanson is 1 he person who was convicted in
Washington, four years ago, of harboring the
three slaves, who had run away from Mr Col-
quitt, of South Carolina. Mr. C was a mem-
ber of Congress; and had brought these slaves
to Washington. Hanson is a tree colored man,
and was living, at the time, with R. S. Coxe,
Esq., a distinguished lawyer of Washington.
A heavy fine—some twelve or thirteen hun-
dred dollars, as I understood—was imposed up-
on Hanson;iiid ho was to remain in jail until
it was paid. I did not wish to pay t he fine.
But so deeply was I interested in the poor
fellow, that I determined not to leave Wash-
ington, without having first seen him set at lib-
erty. In behalf of this object, I addressed a let-
ter to all the members of our House Irom South
Carolina, and followed it up with personal inter-
views with them all. They behaved handsome-
ly. Not one of them interposed an objpetion
lo his libeiation—Gov. A. and Mr. Orr look
a deep interest iu the case. The latter went
to ihe President's house to plead for Hanson's
pardon.
< Hanson was pardoned. There is credit due
to the President for his pardon; but more credit
is due to the South Carolina delegation. And
I must not omit to acknowledge the fact, that
Mr. Colquitt himself expressed his entire con-
sent to have Ilanson-pardoned.
Hanson was no sooner let out of jail thau he
hastened to my house. A more grateful crea-
ture I never saw.
Life and Death.
A Short and True Storv.—One day last
week, early in the morning, that miserable
conveyance which takes the poor and friend-
less dead to the City Cemetery at.the city's ex-
pense, halted in front of a house in a street of the
southern part ofthe city. The driver alighted
from the wagon, entered the house, but appear-
ed again soon after, carying, in company with
another alike disinterested looking man. a cofiin
made of rough boards. The cofiin was placed
on the wagon, and it made speed over tho
deserted streets towards tho cemetery.
Not one followed the wagon with a sory look
•not one stood at her grave wilh a feeling
heart, when the earth fell upou the coffin; and
yei, (liis r.-nffin cnolaiikml tin of tx laiy-
whooncc was sincerely adored by huudreds
who once was honored, exlolleJ, envied in
society—who could command riches, and vjho,
but a few years ago, betore she trod the shores
of this continent) could expect a happy and
contented old age.
This lady was Rosa Neschemi. the daughter
of an immensely wealthy Polish nobleman.
In early youth she was taken to the Imperial
Court of Austria, where in her eighteenth year,
she was married to a French nobleman,-who
who was also very rich. Rosa Nescheni^livfid
many long and happy years, partly "iJpou the
possessions of her husband, partly t*aveling
through Germany. Spain, ltal}, and England,
and gave birth to three sons; who received the
best education, and upon whom the eyes of the
parents rested with great pride.
But then the July revolution at Paris came,
Rosa's husband took a considerable and active
part in it, and on the 28th he fell from the
effect of three shot which he received
His name is stdl honored yith a place oa
the column in the Place do la Bastilo
Of the sons, the eldest one, an exceedingly
gifted young man, was surpassingly successful
in Spain, and was, at that, time, private secre-
tary to King Ferdinand. Alter the King's
death he removed to a villa in the .neighbor-
hood of Vilencia. where, as is believed, ho fell
a prey to the dagger of an assassin.
The second son, who had joined himself to
the ministers of the church, was an especial
favorite of Pope Gregory. He died also sojii
after that event.
The third son, yet very young, remained
with his mother, who found an asylum in
Switzerland, whither she carried tho rem-
nants of her ruined fortune.
In his sixteenth year he left his mother and
came to America. In New Orleans he soon
found employment and earned mncli money.
Bad associations and his own inclination to
dissipation, cansed him to deviate from the
proper path; and some fivo years ago he grasp-
ed at the last and most contemptible means to
save his credit—ho persuaded his old mother
to cross the ocean. She could not refuse the
prayer of her only son, and arrived. She suc-
ceeded in bringing with her six thousand dol-
lars, which sum was spent by her son iu a
short time. About a year ago ho ended his
career in Ncyv Orleans being -employed as
deputy sheriff he killed a Creole by slabbiug
him. He escaped, to California, and his "old
mother, to whoiii New Orleans naturally be-
came a place of extreme hatred, turned her
steps towards St. Louis.
One day last- week, early in the morning,
tile miserable city hoarse conveyed the re-
mains of Rosa Neschemi to the last unwept
for resting place. Such is life.!

Cure of Intemperance.
In an article on the "Philosophy and
Cure of Intemperance," published in the
United States Magazine, Dr. J. B. Buchanan
thus favorably notices a Texan invention.
Tho thorough and decisive demdtaatration,
however, of the'efficacy of the Tonic system
has been made by a physician of Texas. A
Dr. Urban, while practicing in State
some years siuce, finding his rappiy of Qui
nine exhausted, was ^compelled to resort to
ot her tonics j and having a good supply of
Quassia, made it a substitute, and pre paired
a medicine which answered his purpose.
In using this preparation, he discovered ac-
cidentally that it possessed a marked antagon-
ism to intemperate habits; and not only ten-
ded to destroy the desire for alcoholic drinks
but rendered the stomach repugnant to them,
to such an.extent as to cause a frequent ejeo-
t-on by vomiting. Being himself ao> *j(ob eOl
to a very liberal use of spirituous liquors, the
discovery was made upon his own person.—
Having satisfied himself of the fact, he tried
another experiment upon his friend and asso-
ciate, Mr. Ilarney, with the same results.—
Ardent spirits could not be retained on the
stomach which had been previously fortified
by his tonic remedy. fcj thia ex-
perience, ho tested the new remedy thorough-
ly among his friends and patients, until he
obtained sufficient evidence cf its value and
power in curing confirmed habits of intem-
perance. Having thus established the rep-'
utation of his romody in Texas, be baa
located in Ijouisville, and is endeavoring to
probagate its use, nndcr the title ofCrban's

Mrs. Prewett, tho editress of the Tasoo

Syracuse. At one ofthe stations, two great
saucy-looking negro men cane in tiie ladies'
car and began looking about for a Beat. No
one made place for them; bat who had
left their places walked back to them and
stood guard over them. The colored gentle-
men were not at all put out, but kept walk-
ing np and down, looking for Seats. My
little boy said 'no nigger' should sit by him.
Some of the passengers laughed, but others
looked awfully offended. A white woman
that was before, and was almost at ugly as
Aunt Harriet Stowe, tamed fiercely on the
boy, andsaid; 'If the gentleman are colored ;
they are as good as pou or me. 'Madam,'
said I, 'they arc no doubt aa good as yoq,

child, and shall not at by bun/ If one
could be annihilated by a took afcoatempt,
I should not be writing this. When the
of Massachusetts, and Ellsworth, of Connecti-
cut; and they reported, as a section for the
Constitution, "that no tax or other duty shall
bo laid on ' the migration or importation of
such persons as the 'several States shall think
proper to admit, nor shall ' such migration or
importation be prohibited."
This was the first action of flic Convention
on the slavery questiou; and it will be seen
that a committee, the majority of which were
from what arc strong anti-slavery States, re-
ported against auy future prohibition of the
African slave trade, but were willing to
legalize it perpetually. c
This section was subsequently referred to
a committee, selected by ballot, consisting of
Langdon, of New Hampshire, King, of Mas-
sachusetts, Johnson, of Connecticut, Living-
ston, of New Jersey, Clymer, of Pennsylvania,
Dickinson, of Delaware, Martin, of Maryland,
Madison, of Virginia, Williamson, of North
Carolina, Pinckncy, of South Carolina, and
Baldwin, of Georgia.
This committee, a majority of which were
from slave Stutcs, (then and now,) reported
the claase with authority to Congress to
prohibit tho slave trade after the year 1800,
and in the mean time with authority to levy a
tax on such importations. This scction was
afterwards modified and adopted as it now
exists in the Constitution, extending the time
before which Congress could not prohibit the
trade until 1808—Massachusetts, Now Hamp-
shire, and Connecticut, free /S'tafcs, aud Mary-
land, North aud South Carolina, skive States,
voting for the extension; New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, free States, and Delaware and
Virginia, slave States, voting against it.
From the above it appears—
1st. A committee, the majority of which
were from free States, reported in favor of
denying to Congress the power at any period
to prohibit the African slavo trade.
2d. That a subsequent com mi/tei-, a majority
of which were from the slave States, reported
a new section authorizing Congress to abolish
the trade after the year 1800.
3d. That this period was extended until
the year 1808, thus giving eight additional
years to the traffic, by the vote of No Wj Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, whilst
the vote of Virginia was against such exten-
sion.
