KEEP COOL.

We understand that the friends of the Solicitor
to the General Land Office, are extremely indig-
nant at our exposure of the young gentleman s
rascality.
If they are not satisfied, we will show them Mr.
Sabin's receipted bill for money paid Hopkins
,chiie sitting on the committee and then, if they
do not feel easy, we will show them sundry other
things, calculated to increase the deep respect
which the community already entertain for the
gentleman, appointed under sold TIP to carry
out the Reform measures of the day! We will
show the public how, one moment, he was closeted
with one OF the bidders for the contract, and told
him what sum to bid, to overreach all others, and
the next, las chairman of the committee was announ-
cling the acceptance of the proposal, and the pro-
posal copy word for word of one he had
himself drawn up.-(There was, by-the-way, a
slight error in our article last week. Sabin's pro-
posal was in Hopkins own words, and the sum
bid inserted at his dctation, instead of being in his
DUN handwriting, us the article declared. 1.-The
thing is as black on one side as the other We
will show how, when the gentlemen, who were to
be Sabin's bondsmen, as well as the best legal ad-
visers in this place, informed him that the cont.ac,
drawn up by Hopkins was not agreeable to the
proposal, and that he (Sabn) could not sign it, un-
less he was crazy; and when Maj. Moulton pro-
posed to take the proposal which was accepted,
submit it to the legal gentlemen in The vicinity,
and let them draw up fair contract, Hopkins
seized the contract and proposal, pocketed them,
and pould not give them up until he had illegally
adjourned the committee without day, and it was,
according to his decree, too late for the committee
to contract with any for the labor Of the Prison
or in other words, until after Hopkins and Brown
had manuuvred the labor into their own hands.

AMERICAN ARTISTS,

The Cincinnati Chronicle publishes the follow
ing note from gentleman in that City, relative to
the Cincinnati Artists, Powers and Clevenger
Mr. .Mnsfeid--I recently saw a letter from n
talented Painter from our city, spending some
months at Florence, and was gratifcd with the
manner in which he speaks of Powers and Clev-
enger. He remarks, "Powers leaves everything
behind him in busts. All others, ancient and mod
ern, are marble: his fesh His Eve, to my notion,
will surpass the Venus dc Medici, in many points
ofiru,h. Certainly so, in modesty and beauty of
expression. Clevengcr is next to him in making
busis." A lady, recently from Italy, who sat to
Powers for her bust, informed me that Powers
price for bust was 800. Bartolni the " Prince
of modern Sculptors in Italy," charged $3.50 only.
This fact speaks volumes"
1t cannot but afford the liveliest qualification to
Powers friends, in this State to hear of his con-
tinued success. Powers is a native of this town.
Woodstock may well feel proud Of having nursed
the greatest Of living Sculptors.

STATE PRISON AFFAIRS.

Rev. Rufus l.. Harvey, late chaplain of the State
Prison, has published very long articIcin the .Age,
making serious charges against the personal char
acter of Hon. Milton Brown, the Superintendent,
and also against his mode of conducting The affairs
of tho Prison. We refrain from stating the char
ges, as in all probability they must undergo nves-
lisaion by the Legislature, when, with the whole
facts before them, the public can do the parties
Justice Uatchman.
All Mr. Harvey or his friends ask is an "nves-
tigaon by the Legislature" They pledge them
selves to show Brown to be hypocre, a heart
less tyrant, Il reckless Spectator, and totally I'M
qualified, in temper, Judgment, principle and expe-
rience for the place he disgraces.

been laid bare at that moment, what world of
con,ending emotions would have been there dis
covered!
They are here, JULIA said Mrs Irving, in a
low vuoe, as she stepped to the side OF her friend
and touched her arm.
Mrs Randolph arose. Her face was blanched
and colorless, and her trembling limbs barely sup
ported her as she staggered rather than walked
toward the table, One searching glance was cast
on the dress-it suficed. glow of ecsiatic feel
ing lit up her face, and with wild exclamation
'Oh, God they are hers they are hers My
child-my long lost daughtern she rushed toward
Ellen, and mother and chld-lhe lost and the
mourned-were clasped in convulsive embrace!
The sobs and the tears Of the surrounding group
burst forth unrestranedly, and heightened the af-
feeling scene, over further exhibition Of which
we mnst be permitted to draw vale.
The interest of our story is over. Why need
we attempt to portray the unbounded happiness of
mother and child so long separated-so deeply
mourned-so strangely and unexpected united y
Why describe the felicity of that little circle, now
knit by ties if possible thousand fold more endear
ing than ever' Why speak of the delight of the
humble wrecker and his wife, on whom he layished
every endearment W hich love and gratitude could
promoter 1t is only necessary to sayhat the Irvngs
and Mrs Randolph would not listen to the return
of the wrecker and his wife to their former home,
but insisted and finally prevailed on them to spend
the remainder of their days on the estate of the
now happy Mrs Randolph, where, in a neat little
cottage built expressly for them, they lived in the
enjoyment of every comfort that life could afford
Hardly day passed but their aged hearts were
not made glad by the presence of Ellen and her
husband; nor did many years elapse ere, first q
little boy and then little girl, might be seen play
ing around their door and hailing them by the
greaiiul appellaion of Grandfather and Grand
MOTHER in the countenance of each of whom
might be seen striking resemblance to ,her loved
and idolized Nell'-or only by that name did they
call the happy wife and mother We will only
add, in conclusion that the memory of the faithful
muse, whose tender care of Ellen amidst the hor-
rors that surrounded her, and whose love, so
strongly manifested in her dying hour, we have
portrayed, was duly cherished, as the marble shaft,
on which are recorded her virtues and suterngs,
plainly tcssifes.

sickness Of heart-a dull, Responding weight OPP
pressed her splits. The world seemed at once 10
her gloomy blank--she felt herself lone, isoa-
ted being, bereG of kindred love and sympathy
and experienced that melancholy yearnlng; that
darkness of soul, which approaches the confines OF
despair She gazed into the face other whom she
knew only as a mother AS if seeking there for
denial of what she had heard. The earnest aiicc
onate, fearful look that met hers, though it con-
firmed the dark story, stirred the dead calm SET
Ting like poisonous mist on her heart-tho ioun-
tain of feeling gave away, and rushing toward the
wife of the wrecker she fell into her waiting en-
brace, exclaming with tear-choaked voice
Be still mother to me! Do not cast me off!
Let me be as ever your chlld-let me love you
as ever-let me still share your love'
The scene can better be imagined by the reader
than described by the writer 1t was one calcula-
ted to touch the hearts deepest fount, calling up
its tenderests emotions. 1t served, too, TO remove
any half-formed doubts in the minds of the old man
and his wife in regard 10 Elen's unchanged afiec-
ton towards them.
After the agitation growing out of the uneypec-
ted development was over, it was proposed that
the wrecker should relate in detail the facts con-
nected with EIlen's history to the family. Mrs Ran
dol3h was invited to be present on the occasion,
and after the evening lamps were lighted the com
pany assembled eager to hear the full relation Of
that (which they had as yet received but vague
hint
1t would have formed an interesting aud touch
ing PICTURE that little circle grouped around the old
man and listening eagerly TO the words that fell
from his lips, The most striking figure in the
group was Ellen, who with fearful eye and pale,
sad countenance, sat by the side of her whom she
had always looked upon as her mother, holding one
of her hands within her own and hali-leanng on her
shoulder, as she listened with lhrobng heart to
the story in which she was so much Interested
The earnest intensity of the glance which Mrs. Ran
dolph riveted the speaker, she sat motionless
and statue-like nearly in font ofhim, would at once
have attracted the notice of a casual observer. A
hardly less strong expression oiuterest was obscrv-
ed on the countenances oithe rest of the listeners
The details as given by tho old man will form the
subject Of another chapter

1T Is A LITTLE CURIOUS,

That when one Of the members of the Lcgisa-
ture, who had got wind of Brown and lIopkn's
knavery, called, during the session last ear upon
Gov. Jenison to talk over the matter, was inform
ed by his ExccIIency that every thing was all right
Brown had been to see him, and had told him
he was doing noby for the State, making little
something for her Treasury &c. 1t is little Gu
rious how this matter was smothered up, last
year; little curious, that's certain.
