PURSUE
This morning, a large party OF ladies'
and gentlemen, amongst whom were the
President of the United States and iami-
", members of Congress, and severa!
distinguished gentlemen from various
States ofthe Union-prOceeded CT board
the Princeton Captain Stockton, down

al sound vas AearI-.he big gun burstcd
into atoms, and my trembling pen can
scarce record the fact that Hon. Gov.

ANECDoTE OF WASHINGTON.

Attic commencement Of the rcvolu-
Itionary war, there lived At East Wind
>or. Connecticut, according 10 the Hart
ford Courant, a farmer, OF the name Of
Jacob Munscll. aged iorty-iiyc years.
After the communication Ly water be-
tween this part Of the country and
Boston was interrupted by the posses
sion Of Boston harbor by the British
feet, NIunscll was often employed TO
transport provisions by land 10 Ii ar
my, lying in the neighborhood Of Bos-
ton. In tie ummcr Of l715, while
thus employed, he arrived witlina few
miles of the camp al Cambridge, with a
large load, drawn by a stout OK team.
In a part of the road which was some
what rough, he met two carriages, i'll
each Of which was an American gen
eral officer. The officer inthe forward
carriage. when neal TO Munscll, put
his head out Of the window, and called
TO him in an authoritative tone
oh ii, get out OF the way.'
MIunscll Immediately replied
"D-a you, | won't get out Of the
path-get out yOurself.'
After some other vain attempts TO
prevail On MunsclI TO turn out, the
officers carriage turned out, and Mum
sell kept the path. The other carriage
Immediately came up, having been with
in hearing distance Of what had passed,
and the officer within put his head out
of the vehicle and said to MunSell-
s.AIy friend, the road is bad, and it is
very difficult for me to turn out; wiIi
YOU be so good as to turn out and let
me pass!"
..Wilh all my heart, sir said Mum
sell; ..but | wont be ID out OF the
path by any man.

on Saturday night, is represented by
those who heard il as most whitening.

waite speculation and political trcachcry
which have given life 10 the cry Of i'm

bent on gratifying their ambition even

intrigucs with voice and pen, ana il
need Ice with sword in hand, and die de-

happened 10 be i'll the senate. could not
resist the impulse 10 go up to the dauut-
less senator, and grasping his hand, tell
him that he should stand proudly by

Our Prisons.

Ii will be recollcctcd that 3Ir. Dick
ems, in his notes OF hme-icr, speaks
diSparagiEgly Of the separate system,
which was original with Pennsy ~lyaria.
In what he said the English tourist had
imperfect knowledge. He went 10 one
of the p~enitentiaries Of our state, At
Bush Hill, and staid for two hours, and
then decided TO explode the whole sys-
ten. But in this, as in most other
things upon which he has written. nrc-
gard to our country, lie showed his pro-
found ignorance Of what he WAS VII
ting about.
For fifteen wears, we have had free
access to the principal prisons Of tins
country, to study and understand the
promiscuous system and the separate
system. We think we do know the
very different results they produce; and
we say, as we hope to do some little
good in aiding to reform criminals, that
the separate system is the only one yet
attested, which holds ont any hope what
ever of a thorough reform ina harden
ed criminal.
On this subject, we will reprint be-
low, the letter from a mind worth, in
its philosophic Investigations, as many
Charles Dickens as could fill even the
great area of orr Eastern ~penitcu.iary,
a space of twelve acres.-[Sat. Cour.

happened to remember Mr.. Dickens
sentimental TRADE against ercmitic i'm
prisonment, caused chiefly, as he pre-
tends at least by a very affecting case
of a light mulatto girl, who, with mols-
tened eyes, spoke most to%uchingly on
the gnawing griefs of solitary lncarccr-
alton. | requested, therefore, Mr..
Thompson, the present warden, to
whom the highest praise IS due for his
readiness to impart any information, TO
introduce me into the cell Of the same
girl. Ibeg you to recall TO your mind
the whole account as given by MIR.
Dickens, and then compare it with the
following plain story:
The girl, a yellow mulatto, rather
short and not Unlocking, was imprison-
ed, four years ago, for seven years, with
two associates, for conspiracy to rob
They were disreputable, and belonged
with several other girls, to a house
kept by mar to cntice people, in or
der to rob them. Many such crimes
had been committed oflate, and as most
of the sufferers were ashamed Of pros
ecuting publicly the offence committed
against them, the judge, probably,
thought that ii was a good opportunity
10 make an example. Although these
girls were not half as guilty as the
keeper Of The house, (who could not
pe reached, as he made his escaped
