From all these reasons, believing this Legislature
would be grossly deficient in duty to the people Of
the State grossly deficient in duty to the Union if she
remained calm and snpine in the present condition
of the country, offer the resolutions on your table,
Let us pass them, and we may arrest the madness
and folly Of the North and persuade our Southern
brethren remain longer with and try the virtue
of dignifed and strenuous remonstrance. Let us
convince the North that the word Unon has not such
aanagic influence Us that it has IS stepped our
senses in forgetfuness - and made neglect what
we owe State, ourselves and our posterty.
The first resolution states historical fact in rela
ton to the formation of Government which /
presume gentleman here will deny.
The second resolution asserts the only practicable
remedy which is left when all other modes of re-
dress have failed and hope when this resolution is
attentvely considered, it will be md equally
objectionable as the first. We have among US, Mr..
Speaker, many exceedingly conscientious men who
profess great desire to justice done to the South,
but who when any thing practical is offered them,
Immediately become alarmed and cry /" nulli6ca-

been able to understand what South Carolina unfor-
tunately contended for twenty years ago, this

Thawing out a Fortune, Almost

A Dutch washerwoman in West Utica cut a large
piece of ice from the canal the other day, and took
it home TO melt into water for use. AS she watched
its gradual transformation from solid to fluid
semblng bank bills beginning to develop them
selves, and, when the thawng was finished, she
picked from the water three bank bills, one for
$1,000, one for $40, and one for SIS. Here was a
streak of luck rather ahead Of California, with no
stockholders IN the back ground to claim share
IN the profits $l0l5 was to pay for washing 5000
doz. Of pieces, without the work. But even as
the ice had thawed into wafer, so did the fortune
fshed from the water vanish into air, for the bills
proved 10 be counterfeit

Wonderful ThunderboIt in Connec-

The Hartford Couran', speaking Of The de-
s,ruc'ion OF large tree by ihunderboIt, at
New Poquonock, and the effec, in The vicini-
ty, says; The next day il was ascertained that
the lightning, or, as some supposed, meteor.
had fallen upon large oak Tree, which stood
IN all open pasture, ives, of Fbelps's Hotel.--
The tree was about three feet in diameter, and
without limb TO The height Of forty feet.
when IL branched out and formed heavy top.
The lightning Iirsl struck he Tree al the forks,
dropping the branches, and scattering the
trunk in every direction. The trunk was
shlvered into samll pieces no one of them is
larger than man can lift. Even the roofs
were scattered about and many pieces were
carried distance of more than thirty rods
Some portions Of The tree were crushed as
fine as sawdust. The fragments cover an area
of eight or ten acres. The posts aud rails Of
fences, for several rods, were broken off by
the flying framents. One stick wss hurled
through the body. and into room, of an un
occupied house, that stood fifteen rods from
the lTee, and some pieces Of the tree have
been found at distance of one hundred rods
from the place where it stood Much Of the
body Of the tree was riven into splints, like
those used by basket-makers and so small
are the pieces, and so evenly distributed over
the ground, within the distance mentioned,

An Instance of Female Devotion.

For five months there has been confined in the
Jail of this county, young man charged with
forging $l2 note. At the time of his arrest his
wife was 100 miles distant, and the mother of an
infant but week Old AS soon as she was able
she Immediately journeyed 10 this city, had an IN
terview with her husband. made herself acquainted
with the case as far as she could and provided for
defending the trial by procuring counsel, &c. She
then went west as far as Batavia returning through
Palmyra, Lyons, Newark, &C., endeavoring to
procure testimony which should clear her hus-
band. At the December Circuit, the District At.
torney moved the case for trial, but on the urgent
application OF the wife, it permitted to go over,
to give further opportunity for the defence. From
that time until the trial, which was had last week,
she was constantly employed in efforts to secure
favorable issue for her husband. During the
five months her husband was confined in Jail, she
was under the same roof with him full one half OF
the time, making her home in the jailer's family,
constantly visiting him in his cell, administering
to his wants and cheering his spirits. During the
month OF December she made journey east and
again west, on her old errand- travelling, in both
trips, more than eight hundred miles.
In all her journeys she was accompanied by
no one save her infant child whom she carried in
her arms. During the trial last week. she was
constantly present in court, watching, with visible
anxiety, every stage of its progress.
The trial resulted in the acqultal of the defend
ant, and the husband and wife Were restored tc
each other, and the doubts and fears-the intense
mental agony-of five long months were ended
Tears Of JOY at,ested the deep feeling which hung
upon the result.
Such instances of female devotion-to the hon
or of the sex be it said-are not rare, but quite
sufficiently TO render the mention of them al al
times proper. They serve to illustrate the tenaci
ty of female affection, and force US to regard th
true WOMAN as indeed mans guardian angel-i
misfortune and sorrow, as well as in Joy and sun
shine-his best counsellor and abiding friend
willing to plead, endure, and suffer, for the on
she loves. to the last-Svracuse Star.

Charrins Butt-Ends of Posts.

We take OCCASION as the spring will be up
on US in a week from his, and fences will have
to be constructed and repaired, 10 commend TO
The favor of our agricultural friends, The prac-
lice Of charrine the butt ends of posts before in
serling them in The ground. We advise that
the butl-ends of posts be charred sufficiently
far 10 leave about four inches Of the part so
treated above ground. That the durability of
posts, thus prepared, will be greatly prolonged.
we have not The slightest doubt nay we be-
lleve that j. will make ore post last as long as
three would, that had been planted without
such previous preparation, and that any teOOd
susceptible of being wrought, into posts, can by
this process, be rendered comparatively dura-
BILE. Our reason for this opinion are these
|. Charcoal being indesirucrble, is not liable
TO be acted upon disadvaniageous by heat and
moisture, those active agents in The process Of
decay. Q, Charcoal though possessing great
affinity for moisture, is bad conductor Of heat,
and therefore, il is not 10 be presumed. that il
would, in this connection, exert an injurious Of
fee upon The interior of the wood beyond the
charred part, because the necessary degree of
heat and moisture. TO excite and carry on de-
composition would not be present g. Because
The very process of charriug the bul-end, would
expel considerable quanuiy OF water or sap
in the body of the posts, and thus relieve them
in great degree, OF the presence OF the agent
by which ro,lenness, when operated upon by
heat is most generally brought about. There
fore, if you deprive the posi- of the cause OF
decay, as a consequence, you must assure Its
preservation through very great length OF
lime.
