There are hours of our existence which me-
mory treasures and keeps apart from the vulgar
current of time; these are the very essence OF
our being, and it is by them we may, in fact,
compute the measure Of our life; the rest is
mere vegetation.

This iooks Ike Var in the South!-The Geor-

edgewle, the seat Of government of that State,
says, we have just received information which
may be relied on, that the sectional surveyors
have been stopt by the detachment OF Indians
sent out for that purpose by the Council, and
that several of them have returned. The o.
theirs are on their way.
The same paper states that the friends OF
Troup on the eve OF the election, got up re-
port that the Alabama Commissioners had con-
sented to the line running from Nickaj jack to
Miller's Bend. And the report has been CO.
pied into the papers Of other states But such
is not the fact. The Alabama Commissioners
have returned home, and those of Georgia were,
when last heard from, running line to suit
themselves. Baltimore Chronicle,

The Kentucky Tragsdy.-The Tragedy of
Beauchamp, in Kentucky, is probably one Of the
most horrible stories that private history could pro-
duce. The reality Of this narrative far outstrips
imagination. 1t IS related that Mrs when
young and interesting woman, was addressed by MIR.
Sharp, whose ambition however would not permit
him to marry her. She became the victim Of dis.
honorcd passion and he succeeded In her seduction.
Necessity or policy, made him provide husband
for her. This husband was Beauchamp. Sharp,
however, made promise OF some landed property

that he endeayored 10 fix other stains upon The repu.
tHlion of the unfortunate woman. In consequence
of this treatment, Mrs. Beauchamp admitted into
he bosom the most vindctive feelings. She thought
her wrongs; she dwell on the means of ven
geance. For the purpose OF revenge she made her
husband The same tool that the vile of Macbeth dl!

DREADFUL RIor AT CARLIsLE.-On Tuesday
last, dreadful riot took place in Carlisle, duringthe
canvass OF Sir Philip Mu,grave, late NJ. p. for
that city. Having entered yard ID MiIburne's
buildings, Shaddon gae with his friends, they were
surrounded by the populace, who reproached the
candidate for his vote on HE Corn Laws, and of Mr.
Abcrcrombe's motion respecting the representation
of Ednbue Oh, and insisted on his giving pledge
for Radical Reform After some pa ley Sir and
his friends got out Of the yard into the street. but
we're there assaed by the mob with stones, &C.
and all more or less injured Major Wilde was
brought to the ground bya blow from stone ON
the head, and Sir p. was famed, but got into a
house with SO ne friends, and faxtened the door,
Here they were kept prisoners for TWO or three
hours The Mayor and large body of gentlemen
az constables who attempted to lberaie them being
driven away by the missiles of the mob who pelted
them out of Shaddon gate. Barnes, the police
officer. with cooked pistol in his hand, and another
person, got through the crowd, but were glad to
escape back without accomplishing their object.
This victory elaed the people, and when party Of
the 55th regiment preceded by few artillerymen,
were brought up by the Mayor and Magistrates,
they were assaed in the same manner, and after
the riot act had been read, were ordered to FIRE in
their own defence. This they obeyed, and unfor
tunately shot four persons, who were not Of the
most guilty. Mary Burrell, young woman of 90,
shot dead as she stood at her own door in
Queen street, a boy of Is, named Skinner, was
shot through the leg man named Robert Noble,
who said he was seeking his children in the crowd,
received ball in his breast, and little hopes are
entertained of his recovery. The last was fine
girl of Ia, named Pattison who dreadfully
wounded on the head, by ball. which came through
the shutter OF the school in which she was sitting,
The window having been closed by the mistress,
whose name is Stephens. II is said that about 40
shots were fred before the mob dispersed but The
above we're the only casualties Sir P. Musgrase
was rescued and conveyed away by his friends, du.
ring The confusion.
A most wanon outrage was committed yesterday
afternoon on the premises Of Mrs. Conway, in Lord
street. When the procession of Gen. Gascoync
was going down Lord-street, at the close of the
election, flag OF Mr.. Huskissons color, edged
with blue, (the Generals color,) was flying from
one of the room windows, on which some of the
party threw number OF stones and other missiles
which demolished the glass 10 the whole Of the,
windows

No recent event has given to the friends of South
America and Of Liberty, SO much concern, as The
insurrection in the Republic Of Colombia, at the
head OF which Gen. Pace has placed himself. OF
all the new Republics, no appeared to have made
more rapid progress in the establishment of charac
ter, order and stability, than that of Colombia II
had acquired great confidence abroad and its con
duct toward foreign powers was marked by much
sound discretion and extraordinary Justice The
question was supposed to be successfully settled OF
the competency of the South Americans to main
tain sell goyernment-In this encouraging stale of
the progress OF Colombia, the instruction of Genl
Paez presents itself in Venezuela Ii appears to
have had its origin partly in unwillingness of the
General TO submit to trial for acts Of alleged ire
gularity, and partly from political causes but We
mean to express no opinion whether the General
had OF had not, any ground for opposing the authori
~ OF the government. We mean only 10 state our
sincere regret on account of the occurrence 1t is,
we fear. calculated to prolong the war, by inspiring
fresh hopes in Spain. The Spanish government
has constantly said, in reply to all arguments ioun-
ded on the apparent inequality and hopelessness Of
the present contest, ii is true, appearances are
very much against Us, but not more than they were
against the Bourbons in 1919. Yet the power of
Bonaparte was overthrown, and that house replaced
upon the French throne. We do not exactly see
how when the colonies will return to their alleg
ance but through their divisions, military oppres
sions or some other way, it may be the pleasure OF
Providence to bring them back TO their duty" Such
is the iniatuating and cantng language of the part
sans Of Spain and we repeat that the tendency OF
the late event is to strengthen the ridiculous hopes.
But that is not the only respect in which j, is to be
lamened. We fear it will be considered by the
supporters of legitimacy as affordng proof of The
incompetency Of man to govern himself. On the
other hand as General Paez himself, and those as
ted i'm. III
umpirage of Bolivar, is sincerely be hoped that,
on his return from the Pacific, he will be able to
dspe storm which looks so threatening.

MIR. CLAY.--Il his elevation has disappointed
the hopes, and defeated the projects. of the ambi

II has elevated the character and influence Of the
West; it it has provoked the invidious enmity ofa
few, has fulfilled the just expectations and crowned
the dearest hopes Of many fit has been an elevation
which, in peculiar degree, exposes him to the ram
corons assaults Of men whose views no; sufficient.
" liberal to take in the whole expanse Of our coun
trys interests and feelings, it has also manifested his
mistaken hrmness, his steady adherence to prnci-
Piles, his fitness for the high station to which, with
due regard for the feelings of the West the Presi
dent has called him 1t must be obvious to men OF
the slightest reflection and observation, that the

youthful OF our citizens beyond the mountains chung
with an ardour the most enthusiastic to him, in all
circumstances OF delicate and difficult emergency
all their eyes were turned: he stood in front of all
the Western States, an Ajax with his seven fold
shield, TO repel aggression, and TO assert right he
was the friend of domestic policy-a policy
which should deyelope our own resources, and BY
such development, emancipate US from degrading
dependence ON the resources of other countries by
all the mighty powers of his gigantic mind, he has
uniformly and successfully advocated that policy :
he has identified himself with it, and who so fit TO
hill the Department to which wise Judgment has
called himP In spite of all the vehemence which is
displayed BY disappointed party, the people every
where know that these considerations have power
fu influence in the West. The very efforts which
are made to pull down the popularity of Mr.. Clay
at home decidedly prove the existence Of that popu
arty-and its existence to the fullest extent it
exists to extent alarming to his political enemies,
and it is cheering to the feelings of his friends.
