FROM SOUTHAMPTON


We understand that accounts have
been received by the Governor from
Southampton, that the Court has ad-
journed, and twenty-one slaves have
been condemned; of these, nine have
been recommended for reprieve and
transportation. Some of the twelve have
been already executed, and others re-
main for execution. The military force
has been disbanded. with the excep-
ton of a small force of about seventy men
who assist in guarding the Jail, and will
continue in service until all the execu-
:ions have taken place.
Thirty OF forty slaves have been tried
or examined in Nansemond, and only
one has been sentenced to death. 1t is
said, that he was present at meeting of
the blacks; at which black preacher
from the Isle of Wight or Surry had
asked such as were willing to join, to
hold up their hands-this fellow was j.
Identified as one of those who had held
up their hands.
We understand that eight or nine
convictions have tax IN place in the coun-
ty of Sussex. And in Prince George a
black preacher, and by trade a black
smith, has been sentenced to death.

"SHE HAS FINISHED HER ED.
0CATION -

How often, at the present time, do we
hear it said of young ladies who are
scarcely out of their teens, she ''has fin i.
ished her education;" and when it is
asked, what particularly entities them
TO finished education" or in what
branches of science they may have ex.
celled, it is answered: 0, in none in
particular,-she is almost universal
genius-she is critic in the French,
and proficient in the Italian languages
she is an amateur of the most refined
taste-paints exquisitely beautiful: plays
upon the piano inimitably fne-of an
aimable and lovely disposition, of an
elegant and graceful form-cOmmen
the Greek and Roman classics-read
part of Virgil and intended (had her
health permitted, to read Cicero, Sal
lust, Livy, Horace; and in fine all the
Greek and Roman classics-and she is
affable and urbane, and-Mr. Editor
protest against this fulsome putting
is absolutely ridiculous. Young la
dies "finish their education at time
when young gentlemen scarcely begin
when the powers of the mind are be-
coming vigorous, and best fitted to crap
pie with science! Preposterous!
The fact is, the present system of fe-
male education is defective. 1t regards
external embellishments, rather than
these ofthe mind, and while it gilds the
outside with tinsel of knowledge,
leaves the understanding unimproved.-
am aware, that young ladies, under
their present system of instruction, may
acquire some knowledge of music and
painting, and smdHering ofbranches of
science, Except those of the culinary
nature, )by the time which they are said
to "finish their education;" but when il is
thus finished they are no better prepar-
ed TO discharge the duties of a mother
than before it was commenced. They
may also form some queer notions Of
symmetry and gracefulness Of form, to
produce which, they may think it neces-
sary to apply jumps, more deleterious in
their effects than the poisoned girdle Of
Moor's Alethe, and sleeves larger than
the old Friar's of Malroso, and bonnets
OF such dimensions as, in the opinion Of
Lord MOnboddy, to assimilate the head
to "mason's hods" yet should they at
tempt to write a sentence in their verna-
cular tongue, they would murder the
Kings English :" and in their domes-
tic concerns, their cohee-Oh, their cof-
fee 'twould cost them their lives, were
they the servants ofthe Grand Turk
Yetthey have finished their education"
and that too, at an age when they be-
GIN, If ever they do, to think. Very
much like young lady with whom /
unayvoidably became acquainted, who
finished her education" at eighteen;
and who by the principles ofthat educa
,ion' or by something connected with it,
became convinced,
That God bad made her greatly out Of taste,
nnd took much pains to make herself anew
nedaubsd withpaint, s. hung with ornaments

THE SILK.WORM

A letter from Commodore Porter TO
Mr.. Skinner Of Baltimore says--I shall
try and send you very simple mode of
cultivating the silk worm, preparing the
silk and adapted, in the most simple
form, to the use of families. | shall aet
it from poor plain Mahonese woman
who, for her amusement, raises the
worm, separates the silk from the CO.
coon, spins and manufactures, and sells
1T. She showed me several pounds of
excellent sewing silk, of the remains of
what she had last year. | shall send
you sample. You will be surprised at
the simplicity Of all the means of OBJ
tanning silk, and Of the little trouble al
tending it.
The cultivation Of silk is not as trou-
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 182?-183?, 1831-09-30

blesome as the cultivation of flax, g. in
tinitely more certain and profitable
The simple mode, which hope to be
able to describe, will, I expect, induce
our good housewives to give some at
tention to the subject, and, by gradual
introduction ofits culture among us, save,
in the end, millions of money which
finds its way TO this side Of the Atlantic.
For silk is an Indispensable article, and
is one of the first necessity as much SO
as tea and sugar. No man or woman
can put on coat, shawl, hat, glove, or
dress himself, or herself, in any way
without it.

FLOUR FOR SHEEP.

Mr.. Maitre great agriculturalist and
breeder of sheep, near Chatillon-sur-
Seine, ayear ago, conceived the idea,
that not only the straw Of corn, but dried
stalks of clover, lucerne, sc. might be
ground into flour. His experiments
have been crowned with complete sue
cess, and he had obtained kind ofAour
somewhat similar in quality TO that of
bruised fodder. This alemial is sub
stitute for bran, and is an agreeable
and substantial food Cor sheep and lambs,
who seek it with avidity.

GEoRGETowN, d. c. Sent. %.

A gratifying spectacle was exhibited
to our citizens yesterday. This was no
less than the passage Of the waters of
the river Potomac through the Canal in
to Rock Creek. Hundreds, if not thou
sands, ilocked to witness it, and all testi-
fed by their countenances, as well as by
their voices, the JOY that was felt on the
successful completion Of this part of the
great work, which we anticipate is to
bring wealth and prosperity to our long
lsnguishing town.
The packet boats were towed down to
the first lock, between Congress and JEFF
ferson Streets, and the Charles Fenton
Mercer was passed through the locks
into the Creek, amid tie cheers Of the
multitude.

n. p. Willis, Esq. recently delivered q
Poem before society in Providence, Rhode
Island.-The subjoined extract has been
made from it, and may be praised for the
business Of the topic.
Another lesson with my manhood came
have unlearn'd contempt-it is the sin
That is engender'd earliest in the soul,
And doth beset it like poison worm,
Feeding on all its beauty.-As it steals
Into the bosom, you may see the light
OF the clear heavenly eye grow cold & dim,
And the fine upright glory of the brow,
Cloud with mistrust, and the unfctter'd lip,
That was as free and changeful as the wind
Even in sadness redolent OF love,
Curl'd with the iciness of constant scorn--
1t eats into The mind, till it pollutes
All lis bright Misunderstanding, reason,
taste,
Breathe Gifts chill ruption.-Every sense
That could convey pleasure is benumb'd,
And the bright human being, that was made
Full of all warm affections, and with power
To look through all things lovely up to God
Is chang'd into cold and doubling fiend--
With but one use for reason-to despise!
Oh, if there is one law above the rest
In heavenly wisdom-if there is word
That would trace as with pen of fire,
Upon the unsunn'd temper OF child
If there is any thing which keeps the mind
Open to angel visits, and repels
The ministry Of ill-'tis human love =
God has made nothing worthy of contempt !;
The smallest pebble in the we'll of truth
Has IFS peculiar meaning, and will stand
When mans best monument has passed a.
way.
The law ofIeaven is lore-and tho its name
Has been usurp'd by passion, and profan'd
To its unholy uses through all time
Still the eternal principle is pure,
And in these deep affections that we feel
Omnipotent within us, we but see
The lavish measure in which love is given !;
And in the yearning tenderness OF child
For every bird that sings above his head
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree and flower, and running
brook,
We see how every thing was made TO love,
"And how they err, who in world like this,
Find any thing TO hate but human pride !"
