II Knight of The Needle ~iM fwo
Hires.-The good people of-street,
were thrown into considerable excite
ment on Tuesday. A man Of res
pectable appearance, knight of the
needle by profession, had, with his
wife and two children, resided in that
vicinity Tor some time, and BY his man
neTs and department generally, won
the esteem Of the neigbbors, in the cha
racirr Of an honest aud industrious cit
iZen. On the evening in question,
however woman neither very mild in
her manners, polite in her address, nor
agreeable IN her person, suddenly made
her appearance and claimed the aston
isheI tailor as her husband. Not de-
Sirous OF contesting the point, and per-
haps conscious OF the truth o:the claim.
the accused suddenly disappeared, and
left the two wives TO fight the battle
out between them. Irr:ated and ex-
cited al such a move. the first wife
turned round and preferred n charge
Of sdulteTy against the second, a very
worthy woman, as we are told, and the
very reverse in manners and apparent
disposition 10 the female fury who had
come over from Europe TO disturb the

wife. Mrs.--, TO whom the de-
lInquent had been married in America.

the charge we have referred 10, when
she was of course obliged either 20

marriage. In the event Of her being
unable 10 do either, she must have
h"en taken TO prison, leaving her two
children destitute, the Youngest being
only !wo months old. II appeared ,ha,

this intelligence the foreign lady be-
haved, as she had done throughout the
whole affair. with unsecming violence

and the fine arts. safely affirm that have heard
as good amateur concerts in Charleston and Phlla
dephia as in any part Of France or Germany; and l
am certainly not disposed to undervaue, in this re-
spec the claims of my native country. Drawing and
painting are also much more cultivated than they are
to the north and foreign languages especially French
and Spanish, are spok n with great fiuency. Their
manners are more distinguished for grace and elc-
gance, and their personal attractions are in England
known by the appellation of "American beauty"
But all these accomplishments do not prevent thsm
from dscharging their duties wives and mothers;
and il is quite notion though sufficient
y prevalent in the Northern States, that the ladies of
the South are deficient IN their domestic arrangements
negligent in the education of their children. The
case is indeed quite the reverse.
The household of southern planter is generally
quite well arranged that of a farmer to the
north though it is infinitely more complcate, on ac-
count Of The slaves In of sickness even among
the negroes, any other domestic calamity the en-
ergy and patience of the southern ladies severely

task devolves almost entirely on them; few good
schools seminares of learning being comparative
ly at the command of the parents, and among these
hardly any for the education of daughters. = Gronde

with especial severity enterprises which dePendfor

most fashionable summer resorfsin the United States
A friend al the Spring writes to US, and, after de-
scrlbng the gayeties Of the place, says;
"Among The vsirers NJ the Springs are Prof.
Dew Of William and Mary, Dr. Emmett Of the Uni
versity OF Virginia Juqe Thruston, Of the District Of
Columba, and Judge Scott, Of this county, Major
Gen McComb, Gen. Walter Jones, Of Washington
city, and though last, not least, Mr. Van Buren,, son
of the President and hopes entertained that his
Excellcncy himself would have honored this water
ing place with n visit. The near approach Of the
meeting Of congress now detains him at Washington.
We have Understood that several members Of con-
eress mean 20 visit it, and some of them will proba-
bly, leave their families here during the month of Sep.
