Close OF THE AyNIvxRsARIEs OF Holy WEEK.
LA another column will be found the report Of the
great Female Moral Reform Convention, which
tisued during several days week and which till
new we have net been able to find room TO publish
This report presents one OF the most remarkable
phases Of that remarkable week
The excitement and surprise created BY these re-
ports have been unprecedented. This has been par
ticulary indicated by the extraordinary demand for
daily and weekly Heralds, at any price, for the last
ten days Many will hardly believe the truth ofhese
reports-attributng them TO a fertile imagination in
stead Of them to the present original state
Of society il exists in this country. The report Of
the Female Rcformers today, and every other like
report during the last week, calm and sober re-
alities-their principal merit being in telling the
trpth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Trey exhibit a state Of society which few dreamed
to exist in this country In the history of ccun-
try has similar period been formed unless the great
social and religious nt that caused the
Of Oliver Cromwell in England may furnish par
allel We are in this country as England was then,
in the midst Of great social struggle in MORALS
religion in liberty, in politics, in literature and in
all art The religious anniversaries are one phase Of
this singular strugge-the political conflicts form
another-our literary, medical, and miscellaneous
efforts and squabbes all parts Of the same great
and mighty intellectual movemsnt-free as the winds
or heaven, and original and rich as the soil which we
inhabit
This is not only new world in all the attributes
Of physical nature-but il is and fresh in reli-
gion, in politics, in government in art in literature,
in poetry, in every element Of mind and soul. We
believe the first editor who has ever taken this
comprehensive and philosophical glance at the ORR
ginality OF mind developed on this con,nent-for
we do not conceive thatthe MissNancy iieroeurs Of
the present day belong to the American age Of
genius and originality. One thing is cheering--in
this development Of the human Eiad, woman,
glorious, beautiful, divine, generous woman, is to
occupy position that she yet has done in the
worlds history Oh! how should like to live a
thousand years, and the fruiton Of those seeds
that are sowing,

Il NEV VOLUlNB
OF THE
Saturday Chronicle
INCREASED ATTRACTION,

WE are gratife1 in being able to an:
nounce to our numerous readers that wo are
mai ing arrangements for commencing our new vo-
lume under the most favorable auspices. The con-
stantly increasing patronage of the Chronicle is well
calculated to produce corresponding efforts on the
part of the publishers aud it is therefore that we are
determined to spare neither pains nor expense in the
determination to render this family newspaper at
least equal ii not superior 20 any similar publica-
ton in this country. The fourth volume will COM
mence on the 18th of May ensuing, and for that
day we have already secured contributions from
eral of the ablest writers in the country. In evil
dence of this we can promise the following articles.
powerfully written tale, of Domestic Life, by
Robert Morris editor of the PennsylvaniaInquirer
Poem by Miss Mary Emily Jackson.
Humorous Sketch, by Edgar A. Poe, Esqi late
editor Of the Southern Literary Messenger.
A Humorous Poem, by L. |. Wilmer Esq.
An Essay by John Du Sole, Esq. editor of the Spil
rit Of the Times.
Poem, by Willis G.. Clarke, ESQ. editor of the
Philadelphia Gazette.
And also articles by Mrs Lydia Jane Picrson, J. r.
Hart Esq. John Clarke Esq. Chas. West Thom-
son, Esq. Dr. Alexander G.. Draper, and others
whose valuable aid has been secured for the next
volume.
But it is not alone in the original department that
for elegant and interesting extracts from European
periodicals, and the works of popular English wri4
ters, have been greatly enlarged. We are now in
the receipt of most Of the leading London, Edin-
burgh and Paris periodicals, and from time to time
shall avail ourselves of their contents, as they may
seem calculated to amuse or instruct.
In addition to these features, the new volume
will contain variety of interesting wood cut in
cravings well all the most fashionable ballads,
melodies and songs setto music, so that the gem
tler portion of readers may feel assured OF OBJ
tanning through this medium every thing that pos
sesses interest or merit in the musical world.
Our Object in short throughout our future course
will be to increase the claims and merit, and thus
enhance the reputation Of oar iournal--digent from
week to week TO Gull out every thing calculated to
entertain or inform, and at the same time careful to
exclude every thing calculated to offend proprety
and vrrue to weaken or insult the moral tone of
the thousands Of families to whose tastes, curiosity
and amusement il is our business as well as our
pleasure 10 administer.
Our list is already large-but our expenses aro
by no means nconsderabe, and while the former
shall continue TO increase, through the kindness
and paitality of our friends we shall not hesitate IN
relation to the latter. It is the object of our ANTI
lion te render the Saturday Chronicle just such q
public journal as the mother may delight in com
mondng to her daughter, the father to the son, and
the philan;hropis to the community at large.

The iron steamer De Rosset, Captain
Wamberree, arrived at Wilmington, N. c..
on the 18th inst, in 80 hours from Norfolk.
This is believed to be the first iron vessel
navigated on the waters Of the UnitodStates.'
The above paragraph is from a Baltimore
paper. The editor is mistaken in supPos-
ing that the De Rosset is the frstIon steam
boat that has ever been navgated on the
waters Of the United States, as many well
remember the iron steamer /" Codorus," "
built at York, by Messrs, Davis 81 Co. pass
ing up the Susquehanna in 1925, as far as
Owego. We were on board Of her for Sc
yeral miles above Wilkesbarre; she was a
light pretty boat, and padded up stream in
fine style. What became Of her afterwards
we do not Euow. At the same time a
wooden boat called the " SusQuehanna, !"
came up the river as far as Berwick, where
she burst her boiler, killing one or two
men, and severely scalding several others.

REMOVAL.
The Office OF the COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT
is removed into the building opposite St.
Paul's Church, Main-street.

In commencing new volume of " The
Columbia Democrat, it will not be amiss for
us TO say few words in regard to the stu
alton the establishment, and the interest
that every removal man has in in its pros.
periLy. A year since, when we assumed
the control of this paper, we were well a.
ware Of the grievances under which large
portion Of the. county labored in conse-
quence of the present unjust location ofthe
public buildings, and we were determined
10 exert our every faculty to remove the
evil, and so expressed ourselves at the out
set. For this we have been denounced by
the Danvllle interest, and no stone has been
left unturncd to effect our destruction; ; but
in this, they have as yet failed, and it now
depends upon the friends Of the removal to
decide whether the only democratic paper
in the county which advocates their inter-
est is to be sacrificed by a few intriguing,
SeD-managing individuals in Danvllc.-
The friends of the removal constitute more
than three -f5urthS Of the electors, and near
ly fcO-thjrts Of the democratic party in the
county, and yet, the only democratic paper
that dare advocate their interest, is allowed
to drag ont, at best, but 4 miserable exist
ence, while the friends Of the removal sus-
tain those papers, by subscriptions and ad-
verlisements, which are hostile to the into-
rest Of the removal party. This is down
right injustice to their own interest, and to
that Of the sentinel who spends lis time and
his money, to protect them from the iusdi-
GUS attacks Of their enemy. The 4" Demo-
crat'' always will, as it always has since it
came into our hands, advocate democratic
men and democratic measures; but at the
same time, it always has, and it always
will, be decided advocate of the removal.
It behooyes, then, at least every democratic
friend OF that interest, to sustain it, not on
ly by adding his own name to the sub
scription list, but to use his influence to eX-
tend its circulation among others. We
trust that this will soon be done, and that
we shall have the pleasure Of boasting Of
having as much larger subscription list than
the other papers Of the county, as the reno
val interest is greater than all others COM
bined.

Il Scion ayoythy Of his St0ck.-Our
readers will no doubt recoliect seeing in
our compendium of foreign news brought
by the Great Western, an account of the
murder at school near London, of a young
man named Hayes by fellow student
named Medhurst. The case created much
excitement in the vicinity, aBd the more, in
consequence of the fact, that the grandfath.
er Of the prisoner, very wealthy man,
had been formerly Gn 1904 indicted for
the murder of his wife. 1t appeared in ev-
idence, that he cut of his wile's head
placed it on the table, and addressed it thus:
There now see if you can stop scolding
at me for half an hour" The Jury con.

now at the age Of nearly eighty, in the In
