The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-09-17

SOUTHERN LITERARY MEssENGER.-The
september number Of this periodical is fill
ed with valuable and interesting produce
lions. Its leading article is devoted the
subiect of " Domestic Slavery, considered
as Scriptural Institution" and PurPorts
TO review discussion upon that subject by
those able, learned and pious divines, the
Rev. Richard Fuller of South Carolina, and
the Rev. Francis Wayland of Rhode Is
land. The writer has entered into lengthy
vindication of slavery in scriptural sense,
and signally over-throws the positions as
sumed against it by M. Wayland. His
arguments are based upon that divine work
Of inspiration, the Bible, and his deductions
drawn from that sacred source safely defy
the most ingenious assaults. There are
other interesting articles which we have
not space to notice at length-among which
are
Description of the battle of Kings
Mountain.
Marie D'Enambric, Tale of the Antil-
les.
The Ware Housing System, by Ameri-
Gus South, &c.
Its articles of original poetry are also
well written, and some of them beautiful.

A Sunday i'm Mexico.

Whatever may be the impression OF
stranger in Mexico as to the gaity OF
the city during the week days, though
comparison in this particular may be
much in favor of many cities in Eu'
rope of equal size, yetno one can doubt,
that in extent, and variety, and diver
sions, and designations, Mexico, on a
Sunday, can more than compete with
the most festive Of them. AS soon as
you awake. you are saluted with the
sounds OF military music, in which the
Mexicans profess decided excellence.
Regiments Of soldiers, assembled in
the Plaza Mayo, are reviewed, and on
this day they exhibit a neat and clean
ly appearance, which is more than
can be affirmed of them on any other.
On this day, the Cathedral is crowded
with the fashionable Of the city. BY
far the greater proportion Of the yisi-
tors is the fair sex; and there is here
presented display Of beauty and ele-
gance which cannot fail to impress the
most insensible. 1t is a spectacle of
great beauty to witness two or three
thousand of the sex adorned with the
rich and picturesque mantiIla, in afec-
ted attitudes of devotion, mingling in
exquisite harmony their rich and me-
lodions voices with the military music,
which is reyerberating through the
aisle and fretted vault" Of
this most gorgeous cathedral. The
is one you would like to re-
tain forever.
The service over, you pass into the
street, where ever and anon a Feligi-
Gus procession crosses your path, &C.

Small Por an Pennsylvania. -
This fearful disease prevails to a great
or extent in this State than is general
ly supposed--but the culpable negli.
gence Of the authorities has affected
the concealment Of great number Of
cases, by which means many unsuspect-
ing families have had the small pox
introduced into their midst, without
being able to account for its origin
Cases Of this nature should always be
made public whenever and wherever
they occur, so that the dwellers in their
immediate neighborhood may take the
proper precaution to prevent its
spreading. A letter was lately re-
ceived by a physician Of Pittsburgh
from one in Washington, Pa. in which
ramor gave credit for two thousand
cases. We trust and believe that this
estimate is incorrect.

The BountJul Wesf. Run

The BountJui Wesf.-A Run
Westward upon the Railroad and along
the line of the Canal, enabledus to see,
and TO some extentrealize, the abundant
and Astounding Agricultural resources
of the West. The quantity of FLOUR
coming forward is beyond all precedent.
The Canal is taxed to its utmost capa-
CITY wi h Boats. An intelligent For
warder, who has been constantly upon
the Tow Path for the last fifteen years
and who knows pretty accurately the
extent of the means for removing prop
erty, and with whom we travelled on
Monday, gaveit as his opinion that there
was then at least two hundred thousand
barrels of flour afoat between Buffalo
and Albany. He counted, within the
distance Of ten miles East of Utica, sew
enty-fve boats, seventy-three of which
were loaded wholly, or in part, with
Flour. Every thing in the shape, form
or semblance of Canal Boat. has been
set in motion. An enterprising Miller
at Rochester, foreseeing the exigency
that occurred. purchased an acre OF
old scows that lay sunk in the Basin,
and now has dozen of them employed
in the transportation of Flour.
The weather continues mild and
there is reason to suppose that the Ca
nal will continue navigable for week
or two longer.

Cashmere ShaWIs.

An article In q late NUMBER OF the
London Quarterly gives an interest
ing sketch of the celebrated products
of the looms ofCashmere, from which
we find that the trade in shawls has
much diminished, owing TO the dimin-
ished resources of the Persians, As
manlies and Memlooks, formerly the
wealthy purchasers of those elegant
articles. Cashmere itself is king
dom in decay from the decreased value
of her manufactures and the loss of
her Mogul patronage, which, when
sustained, kept 10000 looms constant
ly at work. At the present time there
are less than l6, 900 looms in motion
an immense deterioration. The
charge for completing pair of shawls
is calculated to be nearly as follows:
for the labor Of twenty-four weavers
during twelve months, ESQ; for wool
and dying materials, ESQ; duty, eco;
for the current expenses of the estab-
lishment, 920-total, 9209. Far
more costly fabrics, however, are occa-
sionally brought into the market, some
being valued as high as g7oS. The
wool used in the manufacture of the
shawl is of two kinds, one called
psham shall, Tor shall WOOL, and OBJ
tanned from the tame goat; the other,
the fleece Of the wild goat, wild sheep,
and other animals, named aSalitus.--
In all instances it is fine down, grow
ing close to the skin, under the COM
mon coat, and is found not only on the
animals just mentioned, but also on the
yah, or grunting OK, and on the dog OF
the intensely cold and arid rocks OF
Thibet. About third of the guam
tity used is dark colored and the price
of this is little more than one half that
of white, in consequence Of the latter
being better suited for dyeing.
There is much DIVISION of labor in
this manufacture; one artisan designs
the patterns, another determines the
quality and quantity of thread requir-
ed for executing them, third appor-
tons and arranges the warp and wool
1.-THE former of which is generally OF
silky for the border. Three weavers
are employed on an embroidered
shawl, of an ordinary pattern, for three
months; but a very rich pair will &C.
cupy shop for eighteen months
They are dyed in the yarn, and care
fully washed after the weaving has
been finished. The Cashmerian dyers
profess to use sixty four different
tints, and some of them are obtained
by extracting the colors of European
woolens, imported for the express pur-
pose. The embroidered border of the
finest shawl is generally made separate.
ly, and joined skilfully by sewing it to
the field, or middle part. According
to HugeI, shawls of this description
are altogether patch work, consisting
of as many as fifteen pieces, joined by
seams.

-o aorrOwful Death of Peter Gray
and Lixianny Querl.

o.. aorrowful Death of Peter Ora
and Lizianny Queri.
BALLAD.
My song Is Of nice young man,
Whose name was Peter Gray.
The State where Peter Gray was born,
Was Pennsylvania.
This Peter Gray did fall in love,
All with anice young girl;
The name of her I'm positive
Was Lizzianny Querl.
When they were going TO be wed,
Her father he said s'Nom
And brutally did send hsf of
Beyond the Ohio.
When Peter found his love was lost,
He knew not what TO say;
He'd half mind tojump into
The Susquehanni-a.
A trading he went to the west,
For furs and other skins,
And there he was iii crimson dres,
By bloody In-ji-ins.
When Lizianny heard the news.
She stfaightway went to bed
And never did get off of it
Until she d-i-ed.
We fathers all warning take
Each one as has girl sc.,'
And think upon poor Peter Gray,
And Lizziynny Querl.

Streeter, of the Boston Star, thus dis
courses upon the subject of newspa-
pers:
"The multiplied varieties found in
these pulses of the human mind, for SO
we regard newspapers, proof of the
unnumbered shades in the fancies of the
people. Some love one thing-some
the reverse. Some want morals
some want fun, others philosophy,
others still, want newsstand others
want politics-while the female ladies
want stories, marriages, deaths, elope-
ments, and advertisements Of cheap
goods. But then, each class must
be again divided and subdivided. The
same moral tone will not suit all-.-the
same fun won't please all-the same
philosophy don't satisfy all-the same
news will not be agreeable to all-and
so on with the catalogue. And yet
each newspaper critic proceeds TO adj
mire or 'damn' his newspaper, with as
much sovereign positiveness as though
all the world waited his fiatto approve.
This fact, the old stager, if not an ut
ter willing, soon learns, and he gets
hardened to all this. He puts a Rhi-
noceros skin over his sensibilities, and
there hi les himself, effectualiy, from
these incessant assaults. 1t is the pre-
rogative Of the sovereigns to be critics,
ev ~ man of them; and it is the privi-
lege and the duty, of all independent
editors, to smile benevolently on such
as admire his lucubrations, and to COM
mand all grumblers, with his most ma
jes.ic frown, TO ''go to grass" and be
hanged TO them. Them's our notions
about newspapers"

Discovery eta Nine OF Diamonds
The French Consul at Pahia has ad.

Foreign Affairs at home announcing
the discovery, at the distance Of eigh

abundant mine of diamonds source
of incalculable wealth to'the province
1t lies in a desert place, uninhabited
and scarcely accessible, and was dis.
covered by mere accident. The head
of rich English company has already
exported, it is said, nearly two hundred
thousand dollars worth OF its produce;
and, as the working of the mine is len
!. to any one who will, there is race al
present for its treasures. Eight OF

of Brazil, have already pitched their

Sensible Cray llen.-To the many
good things copied from the Asylum
journal, at Brattleboro', VT, we may
add the following definitions OF "the
golden age"
Preachers idea of the golden age
When all the world is converted, and
get two thousand dollars year.
Horses idea-When the devil gets
al, the omibusses, and | can ride in a
cab drawn by the cabman who used to
drive me.
Our friends idea-When he is re-
leased to enlighten the world, and lu-
matte asylums are appropriated to the
safe keeping.of political wranglers and
social reformers.
Mr.. Caudle's idea-When womer
learn patience and silence and wive'
become dumb waters to their nus
bands.
Mrs. Caudle's idea-When husbands
furnish all the money their wives ever
want, without asking impertinent ques-
tions; and eat what's set before them
without grumbling.

LANCASTER SATURDAY. DECEMBER so,ls45.

Let go my Hair.-An old pastor
once stated that in the whole course of
fifty years preaching, he never laughed
but three times in the pulpit, during
the exercises Of the Sabbath. On one
of these occasions the following occur
renee took place:
The pews of the church were those
old fashioned square ones, so that peo-
pie in different pews often sit back to
back, merely separated by long rail-
ing for division.
Now it fell out one Sabbath that two
old deacons in two contiguouspews, had
fallen into profound meditations, and
closing their twicetw eyes, had thrown
their heads back until their two occi-
puts, with their two long queues dang
ling therefrom had met together, and
they were quietly reposing for the ben
eft of the aforementioned internal seri-
Gus meditations. There were some
very wicked people present, who scan
dalously insinuated that the two dea-
cons were asleep, but look upon it as
amere persecution for righteousness sake.
However there was an awiully depra-
we'd young man in the third pew, that
cornered upon tho two where the dea-
cons were so deeply engaged in the
profoundness of thought, and what does
this sacriligious sinner do? Why, he
takes the dangling hairy appendices and
softly ties them closely and firmly TO-
gether! And then, as if that were not
enough to condemn his shameful soul
to peridition he takes a pin, and cruel
ly inflicts wound upon one of the
deocons. 4
Well, as a natural consequent OF so
invigorating an antedant, the deacon
suddenly jumped. like stuck pig, and
the jump gave horrid twitch upon the
queues of both their reverend heads.
"Let go my hair!" cried deacon
number one.
"Let go my hair!" quickly retorted
deacon number two.
! Twas now twitch and twitch-hitch
and hit--but the conclusion must be
left to the reader Imagination.
