A now paper has been commenced in
New Yo called the "Herald Of Holiness
published by Ednund Palmer, "wi,hou'
money and without price," Mr.. Palmer
says he "has nothing to do with money,
being convinced that it is not, as most per.
sons suppose, perverted, but pcrvertng
institution: an engine of oppression, and IA
curse of all mankind" All this may hr
very true: but sill VIC are at loss TO con.
ceive how Mr.. Edmund Palmer !nanages
to live withou, conta'ninatng his fingers
with the base sIrtf, and more than all how
he manages to get his paper printed with.
out paying for it. That were a secret
worth Knowing. Indeed, if Mr. Palmer
will apprize the world ofhis mo9uS opera,..
di, there will 10 longer b. any excuse for
meddling with money; and therefore that
will he the shortest possible cut to the
great change he proposes in the economy
Of human life. Mr. Palmer has other
great Reforms in view-the abolition of
&" "human government" and the overthrow
of the "nominal church" which will be
effected, doubtless, about the same time
that men come TO the conclusion that gold
and silver and "promises to pay" are no
more valuable than brick dust and blank
pa per. But, if Mr.. Palmer succeeds in
living without money, and in printing a
paper TOO, we do not see why others may
not I" follow in his Footsteps" though he
be for time solitary and alone. We fear,
however, that he will fail in his "Experi-
menl;" and that, like the Irishman's
horse, he will die just as he has learned
t" live without eating, or else that he will
be cast into the debtors prison just as he
has devised plan to print paper without
paying for it. However, we shall await
the announcement, las newspaper para
graphisls say,) with intense anxiety

The following particulars Of a distress
ing accident arc furnished the editor Of the
Temperance Advocate, by his correspon-
dent at LoDI, Abbcviile District. When
this ana similar accidents, are almost daily
occurring from The same cause, it is surpri-
sing that there any to be found to condemn
the zeal of the advocates Of temperance:
awhile Joel Benson, an Interesting lit
tie bow between eight and nine years of
age, the only child of highly respectable
widow lady of this neighborhood was com
ing from Hamburg in company with several
wagons; wing TO the misconduct of some
drunken waggoners, the horse that he was
riding ran of and threw him. A small
negro boy, who rode another horse was
also thrown but not hurt. The horse of
the latter struck the white boys head in
passing over him and broke his scull. lie
was Immediately taken to the house of Mr..
James Shepherd and medical aid procured,
but to no purpose---he expired next NOR

'.No doubt the dsconsolate mother had
promised herself many years of happiness
with her only child, her darling son, who
now sleeps in the icy arms Of death; but
alas! how vain are all human expectations.
Sincerely does this community sympathise
with the afflicted mother, in her sad be-
rcavement. May the God Of Heaven bind
up her broken heart. and may she take
consolation from the fact, that her little
one has exchanged a world of sorrow for
one Of endless Joy"

GEO. AND MAINE CONTROVERSY

The MiIledgc,iIle correspondent af the
Augusta Conslilationnlist states that in
the House of Representatives, on the llth
inst. "a report was made from the Com
mittec on the Stale Of thu Republic, in re-
llinn to the Maine controversy To this
report was appended a bill, the rovisions
Of which are; lst, the citizens of the
State of Maine, if found within the juris-
dclion of Georgia, are to be considered
as enemies, and dealt with accordingly.-
ID, the property OF the citizens of Maine,
lying and being in Georgia, is 10 be Sc
questrated. After the report and the bill
were read, Mr.. Glascock, the Chairman
Of the Committee OIL the State of the Re-
public, stated that the bill accompanying
the report, did not receive The sanction Of
a majority of the Committee, but the bill
was left appended to the report, with the
understanding that any member of the
Committee would have the choice Of sup
porting or opposing the BILL"
1t appears from the message Of the Gov

tu1al Convention, paper devoted to the

rer that there should be, at the centre OF

While the main object Of the paper will
he the diffusion of Agricultural knowledge,
other topics of general interest in News,
Science, Literature, &c. will not be neg
lected. The promised aid Of many Of our
most distinguished men. will contribute to
its interest and usefulness. Politics will
be excluded, that the labors Of the Editor
may be acceptable TO all.
The Carolina Planter will be edited by
r. w. G1BDEs, NJ. D., and published by
A. S. JOHNSTON, every week, at So SO
per annum. 1t will be neatly printed, on
an imperial sheet in quarto shape. The

The Mahogany Tree in ST. Domingo,
is tall, straight and beautiful, with red
flowers, and oval lemon sized fruit
When the tree grows in barren soil, the
grain of this wood is beautifully variegat-
eG-upon rich ground it is pale, open,
and of little value. The machineal tree,
also grows upon this island; and its wood
furnishes slabs for furniture, intersperced
with becutiful green and yellow veins like
marble; but the dust of this wood is of so
acid and poisonous nature that the car
penters are forced to work with gauze
masks to protect them from its injurious
effects.

Small BWs.-A proposition is before
the Legislature, to stop the issue of small
bills by the Bank Of the State, which we
think worthy of serious consideration
The adoption of some such measure seems
necessary to the consistency and charac-
ter Of the State, Il der its acknowledged
principles. The bills under one dollar,
should be stopped entirely; but it is wor.
Thy of consideration whether the Bank
should not issue rcry small number of
50, SO, and S4 bills, sufficient to promote
the public convenience, in remitiances by
mail, but not to enter into common and
general cirrulation-enough 10 enough to
enable persons generally to procure them
with some enquiry and trouble, but not to
be always in every ones packet.
1t is universally acknowledged in Gcor-
gia, that no law has ever worked Better,
in that State, or done more to improve the
condition of the Banks and the currency
than the one prohibiting the circulation of
b lis under SIS, and there can, consequent-
]y ben question as to the effects of such
law here.-Ib.

The relation between the Charleston
and Cincinnati aud the Hamburg Bail road
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1836-1851, 1839-12-21

Companies is not probubly understood b y
every body, and it would seem that the di
reclors of the former have preferred lha
degree of mystery should rest upon
their transactions. The charter of the
Hamburg Road was not purchased, and
is still of force. The new company bought
the stock except small portion, which
was retained in order to keep up board
Of directors and preserve the charter
They would not, therefore be the owners
of the Hamburg road, even when they
had paid their debt to the Stockholders -
they would uuly be themselves all immense
stakeholder in that road under the Old
charter. The purchas' was made in this
way. The price Of the stock was divided
into three equal portions, the first of
which was paid in cash; for the other two
the Cincinnati Company gave two notes,
payable al two stated periods with interest,
to each stockholder in the Hamburg Road
according to his amount Of stock. Each
Of these notes was secured 10 the holder
by the mortgage of one half Of his stock.
The one half Of these notes, first paya.
bic, have been redeemed, and consequent
ly the stockholders of the Hamburg Road
have no lien whatever except upon one
half the stock. The question between
the State ana The Company then is reduced
to much narrower limits than we had as.
signed in our ormer observations Shall
the State grant million of dollars for the
sake Of perfection in its lien on one half
of the Hamburg Road! We are also in
formed that the Rail Road Bank has alrea-
dy received in the course Of business d
large amount Of the notes payable in JAN
uary-iS there fear that she too will play
the shark, and cat up the Rail Road Com
pany! The Stockholders in the two con-
Germs are not only necessarily the same
persons. but their interest in the one is in
every case proportioned to their interest
in The other. The charter of the Bank is
in the hands of the Leslslaturc-why
should it not be compelled to take these
notes in payment Of all debts, and cancel
them as they are receive1!-No man would
he wronged byit, d it would obviate the
necessity Of the Company borrowing mo-
ney from The Stale which they never ex-
pcct to pay. ChaS. Mercury.
