HARD MONEY GOVERNMENTS.

NoRwAY.-The peasantry live on breac
and Cruel, both prepared Of oatmeal, with
an occasional intermixture of dried fish
Meat is luxury they rarely enjoy
SwEDEN.-The dress of the peasantry
is prescribed by law. Their food consists
Fof hard bread, dried fish, and cruel without
meat.
| DENMARK,-The peasantry are still held
in bondage, and are bought and sold to-
gether with the land on which they labor.
RUssIA.-The mobiles own all the land
in the empire, and the peasantry who re-
side upon it are transferred with the estate.
A great majority have only socages, one
portion of which is occupied by the family,
while the otheils appropriated to domestic
animals. Few if any, have beds, but
sleep upon bare boards, or upon parts of
the immense stoves by which their houses
are warmed. Their food consists of black
bread, cabbage, and other vegetables, with
out the addition ofany butter.
PoLAND.--In Poland the mobiles are pro-
prietors of the land, and the peasants are
slaves. A recent traveller says, 81 have
travelled in every direction, and never saw
a wheaton loaf TO the eastward of the
Rhine, in any part Of North Germany,
Poland, or Denmark" The common food
Of the peasantry Of Poland, 'the working
man." is cabbage and potatoes; sometimes,
but not generally, peak black bread and
soup, or rather Cruel, without the addition
of butter or meat.
AUsTRA,-The mobiles are the proprie-
tors of the land, and the peasants are COM
PEELED to work for their masters during
day, except Sunday. The cultivators of
the soil are in state of bondage,
HUNGARy.-The mobiles own the land,
do not work, pay no taxes. The laborlngI
classes are obliged to repair all highways
and bridges, are liable at all times TO have
soldiers quartered upon them, and are
compelled to pay one-tenth of the produce
of their labor to the church, and one-ninth
to the lord whose land they occupy,
FRANCE.-Here the credit system is just
making its appearance. 1t has been, and
perhaps now may be, called hard money
government. OF the people of France
seven and half millions do not eat wheat
or wheaton bread they live upon rye,
barley, buckwheat, chesnuts, and a few
potatoes. The common wages Of the hired
labcrer in France is $37 SO for a man,
Sl8 rs for a woman,. annually. The
taxes upon them are equal to one-fiflh Of
It's net product.

Public Moneys at Cincinnati, was prescn-
ted for payment, for the sum OF thirteen
thousand dollars. The receiver, as in du-
ty bound, paid over the amount at his
sub-treasury office. From this sub-treas-
ury office the specie was conveyed TO an
office where about million Of dollars of
specie has been purchased, since May
last, and exported to Philadelphia.
The conclusion is, that the Surveyor
General has sold the specie, or the draft
for it, at the market price advance, and
intends to pay the workey surveyors and
their hands, in such funds as he can make
acceptable to them! Put this market
price at six per cent, which is lower than
is daily given, and the profit on the sale
of thirteen thousand dollars is SEVEN
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS,
in the pocket of public oficer!!! Does
not the fact here stated clearly prove that
the operation of the new system is, TO
make coin for The public Q6icer-rags for
the common men they employ and for the
people.

STEAM BOATS g. CAPTAINS.

sCollisioa bctlceen The Monarch and
Apollo SteamerS.- Yesterday the adjourn
cd inquest was resumed at Gravesend, and
after long sitting, the jury returned a
verdict that Mary Ann Jones, the stew
ardess OF the Apollo, was drowned in con-
sequence of the collision, which took place
from culpable negligence and bad look
out on board the Monarch, and therefore
levied on the Monarch a demand of 500
pounds
The above extract from an English pa
per shows, how in that country they deal
with negligent and culpable captains of
steamboats,. 1t is to be lamented that we
have no severe and efficient laws for the
punishment Of such offenders. England
has not lost one citizen by steam boat ac-
cidents, where in the United States TWEEN
ty nave perished-which difference in the
fatality can only be accounted for by a
difference of laws and mode of administra-
ton. The public voice has loudly called
for stern enactments, to check this wan
ton sense of human life, but hitherto in
vain. Our fellow citizens are swept off
by scores and ifties, and our sympathies
arc excited for The moment by the tale of
horror, but the impression soon wears off
and iorgetfulness Of the subject and list
nessness ensues.
The burning Of the Ben Sherrod and
cruel destruction then inflicted, although
producing sensation that shocked the
whole nation for time, have done little
or nothing towards the adoption of pre-
cautions conservatory Of life. Not sin
gle steamer has repudiated the use Of ar
dent spirits, known to have caused the
disaster, nor has chain been introduced in
stead Of ropes for tillers, nor any other
improvement made in the tackle or &C.
computations Of these vessels, calculated
to prevent such dreadful disasters.--N

800 REWARD.

nAN AWAY from my plantation in
~ Jefferson County, some time in Feb
ruary last, Tgro slave GEORGE, alias
Timber George, about 5 feet 8 inches high,
very talkatfe, good looking, and very
stout. Also, negro man NAT, in August
last. Nat is about feet 10 inches high,
of copper complexion, stout made, slow Of
speech, and speaks as if his mouth was
| full of something On October 18th, was
enticed or stolen from my plantation, four
negro slaves, to wit: Little George, Will
liam, Thornton and Sarah. Little George
is about feet 10 inches high, very black
color, pleasing countenance, and suffers
considerably-aged about 80 years. Will
liam is boy about II years old, long
gangring, crook-shanked awkward fellow,
about feet 10 inches high. Thornton is
a bright mulatto, with very fine hair, fine
eyes, and a very handsome negro, about
5 feet 6 inches high, pretty heavy made
aged about 90 years. Sarah is a girl
about II years old, bright mulatto, fall,
and of fine figure, dresses neatly and is
an excellent house servant.
The above named negroes were raised
in this State by Capt. VIM. Collins, and
finally fell into the possession of w. A.
Miskel by marriage. He moved from this
county between two days, for fear the
property would be taken by its proper
owner, toa village called Coyington, in Ia
fitte Parish. In the course of 12 months
succeeded in getting most of the negroes
from him, and the right of them is now
being tried in the Circuit Court of Adams
county. The negroes being aware of this,
think they can play backwards and for
wards as it suits them; and no doubt will
make their way to Covington as his pro-
perty, with forged papers; and whoever
the entcer is, may pass along a week pre-
vious, or week afterwards.
will give the above reward for the
confinement Of the negroes in any jail in
this State, so that get them, and the pros
ecution to effect the punishment of the ras-
cal who enticed them off; or $50 ahead for
the negroes; and 500 for the conviction
Of the thief ID. w. M'CALEB.

will be added to any person who will bring

PUBLIC MEETING.

At a numerous meeting Of the citizens
OF Columbus and, its vicinity, which had
been called to take into consideration the
barbarous practice Of duelling, Major VIM
Dowsng was called to the chair, and the
: Rev. II. Reid appointed Secretary. The
object of the meeting having been stated
by the chairman, a motion was made to
have the law in reference toduelling read
whereupon MIR. Joseph A. Parker read
the act passed at the last session of the
Legislature on this subject.
On motion, It was resolved, that COM
mittee Of five be appointed 10 draft resolu-
tons expressive of the views Of this meet
ing, in reference to the evil practice of du-
cling: whereupon the following gentle
men were appointed, to wit; Richard
Evans, William L. Harris, E. B. Drake,
Joseph A. Parker, Esquires, and DR.. Dan
by Lipscomb, who retired few minutes
al d returned with the following preamble
and resolutions, which we're read and
adopted, article by article, to wit:
Whereas, by the constitution Of society
there are appropriate tribunals fixed for
the purpose Of deciding all controversies
and disputes which may arise between
man and man that require to be adjusted;
and whereas, it is violation of the first
!. principles OF society that men should as
same the redress of their own wrongs, not
onlyain opposition TO its laws, but to the
great Injury and disturbance of the peace
and quiet Of civilized communities; and
whereas, the practice of deciding by per-
sonaI combat with deadly weapons, the
difference which must arise between our
fellow men in the course Of life, is repug-
nant to the principles ola well regulated
society, and destructive Of the harmony
and good order which should exist therein.
Therefore Resolred, That In the opin-
ion of this meeting, it is the duty of this
community to express publicly, the deci-
ded Misrepresentation of the principles and
practice of duelling.
2. ReSolred, That Duelling isa viola
lion Of the Laws Of God and the Supreme
Legislative authority Of the State, and
contains in il the double crime Of murder
and suicide.
S. Resolued, That Duellingis no test Of
real bravery, but rather an evidence of
the dostitution ofthat moral courage which
eleyates the Intellectual above the mere
animal nature.
4. Rssoloed, That we will sustain to ,
the utmost, our Magistrates in the execu-
ton Of the laws of this State against the
practice of duellng.
On Motion, Resolred, That the result ;
Of this meeting be signed by the Chair
man, and countersigned by the Secretary, :
and that a copy thereof, be furnished 10
the editor Of each paper published in this
place for publication. -. /,

THE POST OFFICE.


We have frequently had to revert to the
abuses in this department Of our govern
ment, and we fear will have to continue it.
AT least we shall not stop the warfare
against the present system until it is chan
ged or radically cleansed Of some of the
foul stains that appear, which did not ex-
list when the mails we're under the super
vision of Mr.. Mclean. We have recent
y noticed the administration of the
officer at Westville, and we have now TO
notice the attention or wlful neglect Of
the Post Master at Jackson.
Scarce week passes without some NAL
treatment or insult to the community Of
which we are members. Sometimes the
mail bags arrive with nothing at all in
them, when we are credibly informed there
are bushel or two Of packages of letters
and papers for the Office at this place; and
to a question asked by one Of the carriers,
why he did not put something in the bags?"
the worthy at that Office answered, 81 am
not going to send any thing over, and If
any body asks you the reason, tell him to
go to he'll" 1.-THE people are expected to
support government who keep such off
GERS as this in its employ, we think the.
sooner they rebel the better. If they af6s
not satisfied with taking from us our
money, weare not willing to let them take
any advantage of us. We are compelled
to pay specie for our hostages, when it is
not to be had, unless at sacrifice of SO
or rs per cent. and we think it we're mo-
more than generous Ito say nothing of the
Justice } to let US have our letters. In
1929, when the Administration, of which
the present is branch, went into poner,
we we're promised a reform, and "reform"
has been the cry ever since, and we are
now nearly reformed Of all ourrjghts.--
They have reformed our currency from
he best in the world to none at all and
he post office has been reformed from a
we'll regulated institution to a political
'arber-shop, whore the people are shorn
With vengeance. Our voice is still Gre
