GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION.


The following is an extract Of letter
from Charles Dickens to the London Times,
describing some Of the scenes which he
witnessed at the recent execution Of the
Mannings in London, with The circums,an-
COS Of which, our readers are already ac-
quainted:--
believe that sight SO inconceiyably
awful AZ the wickcdness and la,ity Of the
immense crowd collected at tl,atsexecution
tbs morning, could be imagined BY no man
and could be presented in no heather land
under the sun. The horrors Of tho gihbct,
and Of the crime which brought the wretch.
ed murderers 10 il, faded in my mind before
the airocious bearing, looks, and language
d the assembled spectators. When came
upon the scene nj midnight, the shrillness
Il the cries and howls that were raised
from time to time, deno,ing that they came
from concoarse Of boys and girls already
assembled in the bes. places, made. my
blood run cold.
As the night went on, screechine, and
laughing, aud yelling, in strong chorus d
PAROLES on negro melodies, with subsltu
lions Of "Mrs. Manning" for "Susannah,'
aud the like were added to these. When
the day dawned, thieves, low prostitutes
rullians, and vagabonds o!'evcry kind, flock
ed on 10 the ground with every variety o.
offensive and foul behaviorl
Fightings, faintings, whis,lings, imita
tons! Of Punch, brutal jokes, ,umul,uou.
demonstrations Of indecent delight when
swooning women were dragged out Of the
crowd by the police, with their dresses dis.
organized, gave new zest 10 the general
ente rtainment. When the sun shone
brightly; as it did, it gilded thousands q
upturned faces, go inexpressibly Gdous in
their brutal mirth or callousness, that a
man had cause to feel ashamed Of the shape
he wore, and to shrink from himself. as
fashioned in the image Of the Devil. When
the two miserable creatures, who attracted
all this CHASTITY sight about them were turn.
Cd quiyering into the air, there was nc
more emotion, no more pity, no more
thought that two immortal souls had gone
TO judgment, no more restraining in any Of
the previous obscenities, than il the name
Of Christ had never been heard in this
world, and there were no belief among men
but that they persisted like beasts.
THE "BRowN" GAME OF PaKEn-"Po,o.
mac" gives the Baltimore Pntrio, the fol.
lowing sitem'' from 10. Roots speech in
the opening Of the Brown expose on Wed
nesday:
"Mr. Root made one Of his quaint, odd,
humorous and sarcastic speeches. He Clio.
red in being On Independent, belonging 70

an anecdote of Yankee and southerner
who were playing poker ON steamboat.-
After while the Southerner remarked that
he had no. seen nn ace for some time. J
guess YOU haven't said the Yankee. 'but
can tell you where they nre. One OF them
is up your shirtsleeve there, and the other
three are in the top Of one of my boots!"-
Mr.. Root said he knew where one Of the
noes in this game was, and the other three
he had no doubt, were over there. some

RETuRN OF CALIFORNIA EMlGRANTs
DEATHS OF OTHERS,

Mr. $. NJ. Hammonds, Of this city, who
lelt here Tor California, via the Isthnus, on
the first day Of January, ls49, returned on
Saturday last. His experience Of that
country, SO far rs we have had opportunity
to gather i, has Leen anything but flatter-
ing. Gold is abundant bu, comfort and the
means ofp.eserving health, almost entirely
wanting. Mr.. VIM. Gillian, Of this city,
who left for California shortly after Mr..
Hammonds, has nlso returned, disguised
with The country, and is now amongst his
friends in Illinois. Messrs Merritt and
Mobley, who accompanied Mr.. Hammonds,
are also reported on their way home.
Mr.. X. w. Hart, who left here last spring
by overland for California, died Of nnam-
nation Of The bowels, six days after arriv-
ing in California. Mr.. Augustus Coricll,
il is now asccrtained, died from injuries re-
ceived by the explosion Of keg ofgunpow-
der, into which some person had thrown a
lighted cigar, which Mr.. C. was endeavor-
ing TO eStingnish. The foregoing deaths,
with that Of Judge Glenat, which took
place ON The road, make three Of the D1-
buqne emigrants who are known to have
deceased. Messrs. J. Hampstead, Childs,
J. Wharton, G. Lormier, Heacock, and
others, have suffered much from sickness,
particularly scuryy. None nrc reported
as having done remarkably well; and upon
the whole, we should not consider the ex-
perience Of the Dubuque delegation to the
Golden Land, as peculiarly encouraging TO
others to follow them. The accounts re-
ceiyed from those persons who have emf,
grated from other portions Of the State, thus
far, exhibit several deaths, and anything
like m1rked good fortune in but a limited
number Of instanccs.-Dubuque Tribune.

Hear Boil, Sides.

One of the most interesting anecdotes
of antiquity. is tina, which describes the
grave Of Nero as supplied with flowers,
and carefully dressed by the hand OF al
lection. One person, while she lived,
was drawn by gratitude and love TO pay
this homage of affection TO The memory
OF man who is commonly spoken OF
as the concentration and essence of all
that was cruel and diabolical. There
was one person who, when fear and
hope, SO far as he was concerned, had
ceased with his life, still paid disinter-
csted tribute to the man, who, however,
TO all the rest of the world he had appear
ed, was not, to her altogether unlovely.
History, says somebody very tcrsely'
is philosophy teaching by experience
And in this little passage, the philosophy
which is taught is one of the best and
most important lessons. No man is
wholly vile, and no just judgement can
be found by taking the statements oil
one side only, whether friendly or adj
verse. In the estimate Of historical per-
sonages. we are much too prone to as
sumo that what is said by contemporaries
must be true; though we have often but
one side, and the pictures presented are
too entirely dark, or TOO wholly bright,
to be true of any human being. Let MS
look about among our contemporaries.
and see. Few write who write without
an object; and that object is, very seldom
justice, or even injustice to the persons
spoken of What writer's say of men
is usually in illustration or support of
what they say Of things, of systems, or
Of theories. And some without an inten-
ton Of dishonesty, and others with the
most transparent injustice, color their
heroes good or bad to suit their picture;
as skilful painter inserts that kind of
of a tree in his landscape, bright or dark,
which will best furnish the general effect
at which he is aiming. Republicans
blacken monarchists, and legitamists can
not throw too Geep shadow over re-
publicans. Our own periodicals teach
us how differently men of different pol
iiIcs are looked at from opposite points
of view. And not only in political and
national interests, but in smaller circles
mot only in written and published. but
in spoken words, do these remarks hold
true. Therefore, he must not pretend 10
judge who hears not both sides.
Des Moines courier. ([Ottumwa] Iowa) 1848-1854, 1850-11-29

During one Of Napoleon's memorable
campaigns, a detachment Of a corps,
commanded by Davousi, occupied the
island of Rugen, which they were sud
denly ordered to cyacuate. They EN-
barked with such precipitation that they
forgot one of their sentnels, who was
posted in a retired spot, and SO deeply
absorbed in the pcrusal of newspaper
containing an account of one of the en-
peror's splendid victories as to be totally
unconscious of their departure. After
pacing to and fro, for many hours upon
his post, he lost patience, and returned
to the guard-room, which he found emp,
iy. On inquiry, he learned with despair
what had happened, and cried,
"Alas! alas! shall be looked upon as
deser,er, dishonored. unhappy wretch
that am"
His lamentations excited the compass
sion Of tradesman, who took him &c
his house, did all in his power to console
him, taught him 10 make bread, for he
was lakcr, and after some months gay {
him his only daughter, Justine, in mar
rage. Five years afterwards strange
sail was seen 10 approach the island.--
The inhabitants flocked 10 the beach
and soon discovered in the advancin,
ship number of soldiers, wearing tht
uniform of the French army. 81 an

cried the dismaycd husband of Justine.
An idea, however, suddenly occurred
10 him, and revived his courage. III
ran TO his house, slipped into his uniform

beach and posted himself on sentry a
the moment the French were landing,
"Wbo goes there?" he shouted in ;
voice like thunder.
"Who goes there, YOURSELF" replet
one in the boat. "Who are you?"

EHRDslISc.

Men who are called inpulsive, are
much slandered. Are moi the most noble
generous actions which adorn the annals
OF the world, referable to this AGENT
Reason is even exalted above impulse;
but how fallible is reason! Is il not of.
ten opposed TO faith, and does it not lead
to the most dangerous errors. So far as
The boundaries Of our experience extend,
warm impulse has prompted more good
deeds than cold reason. We would
sooner trust that man in whose breast
glows the fire of enthusiasm, than he
who, cool and collected at all times, sell
dom acts without suspicion, and often de-
liberates till the hour Of advantage has
passed. Faults committed with rellec-
ton, are certainly not more venial than
prcmeditated sin. lie who errs hastily
repents sincerely; but the wrong done
upon calculation is never willingly re-
paired. Even when productive of harm,
il is unsclfish, and the consequences to
which it leads are hurtful to no one so
much as to its possessor. Pity is no
stranger to the impulsive man, and moi
seldom do the tears Of sympathy fall
from his eyes. To friendship he is faith
ial, and for love he would sacrifice both
interest and worldly esteem. Let us be
compassionate, therefore, to the errors OF
impulse, while we respect the calm die
tases of caution and prudence.
