were given in reference TO the household pre-
para,ions. and Colonel Carroll ordered his
horse. rode forward to meet and escort 10 his
house the distinguished guest whom he had
never yet seen, although serving in the same
widely extended army: That evening at the
table, Annette, who had now become dignlfied;
matronly and still handsome Mrs. Carroll, coul'l
not keep her eyes from the face OF her lIlusirI;
Gus visitor. Every moment or Two she would
steal glance at his commanding features. and
half doubtngly, half assured, shake her head
and look again, TO be still more p5zzled. Her
absence of mind and embarrassment at length
became evident 10 her husband, who inquired

had been some time, with quite meaning

survey of his features--'tha: Mrs. Carroll
thinks she recognizes in me an old: acquani-

as he gazed upon both alternatively.i
The Colonel started, and faint memory Of
the past seemed to be revived as he gazed,
while the lady rose impulsively from her chair
and bending eagerly forward over the tea urn,
with clasped hands and an eye ofintense eagec
inquiry fixed full upon him, stood for momeds

Gold i'm Georgia.

| We see in Southern papers notices Of the ex-
ceeding richness of the gold mine recsntly dis
covered on the land Of Hon. John c. Calhoun,
in Lumpkn, co., Georgia. Three weeks
work, it is stated, by sixteen men, produced
1916 pennyweighis Of pure gold--worth some
thing more than $6,00O II has been visited
by number of scientific gentlemen, who on
one occasion descended about fifty feet into the
hill, and dug out quantity Of the vein ORE
After pulverizing it, about five quarts yielded
two hundred and sixty pennyweights Of pure
gold, worlh about 5000. On another occasion
the same quantity yielded three hundred and
forty pennyweights; and the labors Of the CON-
pany for single day yielded ,463 dwIs.---
worth more than a thousand dollars. The dis
covery creates great enthusiasm among the
people Of The State, and we share the fears of
some discreet Southern papers, that II will
prove fruitful source of ills unnunIbered. We
have the authority of all experience for saying
that no country which depends, in any consid
erable degree, upon gold and silver mines found
within its borders for high prosperity, will ever
attain II, Mexico, one Of the richest countries
in the world in mines of the precious metals, is
at this day among the poorest in all that makes
a nation truly wealthy. Virginia has had some

The Village Prize.

In one of the loveliest villages in old Virgin.
ia there lived in the year l75- an old man
whose daughter was declared by universal con-
seht, to be the loyeliest maiden in all the coun-
try round.
'fhe veteran in his youth had been athletic
and muscular above all his fellows, and his
breast. where he always wore them, could show
the adornment Of three medals, received by him
for his victories in gymnastic feats when ayoung
man.
His daughter was now eighteen, and had been
soush, in marriage by many sui,ors. One
brought wealth another fine person. another
this, and another that. But they were all re:us-
ed by the old man, who became at last by
word for his obsinacy among the young men
of the village and neishborhood

TUNE-Missionary Hymn.
HOW long shall virtue languishl
IL How long shall folly reign,
While many heart with anguish
Is weeping DER the slain!
How long shall dissipation
Her deadly waters pour,
Throughout this favored nation,
Her millions to deyourl
When shall the veil of blindness
Fall from the sons of wealth,
Restoring human kindness
And industry, and health7
When shall the charms so Turing,
Of bad example cease;
The ends at once securing,
OF industry and peace?
We hail with JOY unceasing
The band whose pledge is given;
Whose numbers are increasing,
Amid the smiles Of heaven;
Their virtues never failing,
Shall lead to brighter days,
When TEMPERANCE prevailing,
Shall fill the earth with praise.

MR.. WEBSTER-THE GLOBE.

In looking back to the course pursued by some
of our contemporaries, we were struck by the de-
vious course followed by the Globe, and we
have already adver,ed to the systematic warfare
made by that paper on Mr.. Calhoun, as merely
first edition of its attacks made at the present
day on the present Secretary of State When
we read the unmitigated abuse of Mr.. Calhoun
through several years, we perhaps should not be
surprised that the conduct and character OF Mr..
Webster meet with no mercy. OF Mr.. Cal
houn, it has said 'thonest, moderate men of all
sides are TO be Frustrated and trampled under
foot, if these men can effect it," (meaning
Messrs. Clay and Calhoun.)
Again: ale mr. Calhoun) surrenders with
out hesitation his most solemn convictions of
the Constitution, at the bidding Of the oppressor
of the S outh."
We hope that the Globe, perceving the con-
version it has undergone in relation to Mr.. Cal
houn, will be chary in assailing Mr.. Webster,
especially in advance of his acts. 1t has said
nothing of the latter so violent as its TRADES
| against the former

CONGRESS-.

In the House, on Friday, Mr.. Underwood
asked permission to have paper, presented by
Mr. Ramsey, printed in relation to the invention
of steamboats,.
Mr.. Gushing then asked the reference of GER
tain resolutions to the Select Committee on the
amendments of the Constitution.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole on the Appropriation bill, when Mr..
Adams, who was entitled to the floor, after an
apology for his necessary want Of preparation,
continued his reply to Mr.. Ingersoll and Mr..
Wise, and went into an elaborate examination
of the probability and policy of war with
England and Mexico, touching, in the course OF
his remarks on sundry other subjects, which he
considered relevant to the point at ssue-such
as the history of former negotiations and his
own connection with them, the annexation OF
Texas, the twenty first rule, which he said was
driving the Republic to disunion, &c. &C.
He was followed by Mr.. Campbell, of South
Carolina, principally in reply to his animadver-
sions on the acts of Southern members and the
institutions of the South.

A NOBLE RESPONSE.
(Signed,)
JOHN w. MuaDAuGH, Esq, Portsmouth, Virl

We copy the article below from the Daily
Missouri Reporter. The Reporter is an able
Democratic journal-the editor having support
ed General Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren-or,
perhaps we might say with more propriety, that
it is strictly Jefersonian Republican paper
hence its natural disposition to cooperate with
the Pres ident. At all events, its tone and SEN
,iments are manilestly at variance with the
course pursued by the Globe. And so, we
doubt not, it will ultimately be with all the mo-
derate and rational presses and persons claim
ing to be Republican in practice and principle.
The Reporter likewise responded heartily to
the sentiments contained in Mr.. Webster's let
"The Message of Mr. Tyler, which we lay before
our readers to-day, will be generally approved. In
the pI esent condllon of the Government and the
country tie former bankrupt and the latter threat
ened with invasion-it was the duty of the President
to speak QUITO act with the decision the occasion
demands and to place rcspons. by where it should
rest--on Congress. That body has now been in ses-
sion four months, and nothing has been done for the
supper: OF the Government much less for the prose-
cution of works of Defence and the improvement of
our great rivers The time of Congress has been de-
voted to President making-not to the great interests
or security Of the People. The President has very
properly and decidedly rebuked the Members for their
shameful neglect of duty.
We understand Mr. Tyler, not as recommending a
protective tariff but merely such discriminating duties
as will incidentally foster American Industry, to
which we do not object Indeed the scale of duties
cannot be raised for purposes of revenue without ex
tending incidental protection to manufactures, and
this is about all the President recommends
The argument of the President in favor of the re-
peal of the Distribution Law is conclusive. On this
measure he has displayed degree of sagacty and
moral courage, for which he will be honored through
out the land He joins issue boldly with Mr.. Clay,
and we trust that he will triumph his ambitious
| and unscrupulous adversary.
In word, we approve the Message, in the main,
and trust that it's just and patriotic suggestions will
be carried into effect.

THE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE MISSOURI

A letter appeared in the New York Arena of
the 18th. addressed to the editor, by an officer
of the Missouri, and giving an account of
the late melancholy accident on board that ship.
The writer appears to have forgotten his discre-
ton, or not to have been duly sensible OF the
respect and courtesy which were due from him
as an officer in the public service, to the consl-
tuted authorities of the country. How little
did it become him to speak of the Legislature
of his country, then in actual session, as fhose
contemplate aoretches IN Congress !" The
vanity of appearing in print should purchase its
qualification at a less costly price, than such
sacrifice of the decorum of public station and
the decency of private life.
Weunderstand that the writer belongs to the
Marine corps, and we are happy to learn that
his associates in that corps, as well as the naval
officers, with one exception, unite in condemn
ing, in the strongest terms, this nexcusabie
breach of propriety. We kno'0 that 1t has been
severely rebuked by the Department

THE PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERICAN of Saturday
errs in stating that once asserted in substance
that the President aUoltld not have signed MIR. Ew-

this, Cotton knew, when he penned the article

No, we knew such thing. We never say one

which we have never leant We are yet simple
enough to be straightforward and honest.
We did not say that the present editor of the Madi

sonian had made such statement 1t in an
editorial article, but not quite that the
recollect that it took us quite aback for we had
stated that the President couId have signed that bill
had it passed. A man seldom misapprehends an
other when that misapprehension is to make his po-
sition awkward one. He may get into error
through fatery, but seldom through modification

We must all be judged by our acts. If you did
not say that the "present editor' stated so and
so, why did you make an insinuation about the
consistency" of the paper? But the matter
can be easily settled. Produce "the editorial
