THREE ABsTRACTIoNIsTs. A member Of
Congress in the debate, relative to the position to
be occupied BY the statue of Washington in The cap.
ol, having suggested that itbe placed in the COR
NFR OF the I0.uuIW, III iaa.ay Of N, Carolina,
moved that a Committee, consisting of three Gbstrac-
Hoaiats, be appointed to find out where the corner
ola roilada can be found, The idea is an excel
lent one and suggests very fitting occupation. An
abstractioaid could not possibly be better occupied
than in looking for the corner Of q circle. We
should think he would find himself as much in his
element as trout in q shady stream, or a fat negro
sitting in the sun and tanning himself with brick

it necessary for Gen Thompson to have been en-
gagged in the settlement of these Aroostook &C

OBITUARY..

Died, at his residence, near EdgefeH g. H.,
on the 1st inst, Capt WILLIAM ROBERTSON, in
the I'D year ofhis age. The deceased was an
emnent1y Just and upright man, in all the rela-
tons which be bore to society; he was kind
aud affectionate husband, humane and indnl-
gentmaster, 40 obliging and warm friend. He
had, gfor about fiftysyears, been an exemplary
professor fthe Religion of Christ, and for q
greasspart of that time had sustained and dis.
charged with fidelity, the Office of Deaconin the
Baptist Church. He is not known. during the
long period of his membership in the Church,
TO have, in any instance, been the subject OF its
discipline; his uniform pious walk, illustrated
the genuineness of his faith, and secured the
love and affection Of his brethren. During the
few last months Of his life, he lay, in condition
of body, so PROSTATE, as to be almost wholly un-
conscious OF the most ordinary occurrences
about him, but in all this time. there were 10 be
seen, in his calm and heavenly countenance,
the beamings Of that Hope, which is the anchor
of the soul Of the disciple Of Christ. As he had
not been ashamed of Christ in life, so we are as-
sured, of him, will not Christ he ashamed be-
fore His Father and the Holy Angels, in the
day of final account A numerous circle OF
friends and relatives will long remember, and

Died, at the Sand Hills, near Columbia, on
Monday the 7th inst, Mrs. SoPtIA LABoRDE,
wife of DR.. Maximilian Laborde.
Mrs. Laborde had been for some years past n
member of the Episcopal Church, and manifest.
ed in her life, as she did in the honr of her
death, that nreekness aud humility, which enti.
tied her to the inheritance of the promises Of
our Saviour in his memorable Sermon on the
Mount. Blessed are the poor IN spirit; for
theirs is the kingdom Of heaven-Blessed are
the pure in heart, for ihey shall see God.
To the desponding husband, the afflicted mo.
ther, the bereayed sisters and brother, and the
dear children of her bosom, whom, by an in.
scrutable- decree Of the Almighty, the deceased
has been summoned 10 leave. at a period OF
their lives when the cares Of q mother are mos,
needed, would not presume to offer other
consolation than that which flows from the Cos

Highly Important from Washington
The United States Gazette Of yesterday
has the following astounding statement: {:
Extract of letter, dated
WAsHINaToN, May 26, 1S4I.
Much surprise has been expressed by
the public, that our Minister in London
should have taken upon himself the res.
possibility ofrecommending the immediate
return of our squadron from the. Mediter-
ranean.
This surprise will in some measure cease,
when Inform you that Mr.. Stevenson had
information that tho British Government
had transmitted Instructions TO The Admi-
rails on The American station, ordering
them, Immediately upon receiving authen-
tic information that M'Leod, an officer Of
The British army, had been executed, to
proceed on the coast of the United States,
and to set fire to, and burn down, our sci-.
ties and towns along the whole coast. s.
There is every reason to believe that
this statement is true. We may as we'll
prepare for war as not.-N Y. Herald.

and the peoples money, in the abuse Of
our Southern Institutions. From this, it
appears, that in Mr.. Adams own State,
the white youths are treated more like
Turkish slaves than Christians.
I" That Monster.-Last week We allud-
edto the awful brutality of Locke, who
was Superintendent al the Boston Farm
School for INDECENT boys. 1t is declared on
unquestioned authority, that some of the
little fellows have been punished during
the winter, by being compelled to labor
barefooted upon the snow and ice; others
have been whipped and mutilated with the
cowhide, and kept at work in heavy irons.
Several have their feet badly frozen and
one half eaten off by sores. There is one
boy there named Wetherell, whom they
have nicknamed "Skin-Dryed." He has
wrinkles on his face like an old man 20
years of age. caused by pouring cold water
upon his head as punishment. 1t is said
that the Superintendent poured thirty-se-
ven buckets of water upon the head of
