Is The Charles Southwick who was last week
committed, in Boston, for the robbery of the Dor
chester and Milton Bank, is a native Of Danyers,
and an old convict When the watchmaler's shop
of MIR. Sawyer, in this city, robbed, many years
ago, 1t ascertained that Southwick was one of
the thieves. He was apprehended and confined in
the Boston Jail, for trial. A term of the court COM
ing on, the jailor conveyed party of prisoners TO
the courthouse, where they tried, and their
cases variously disposed of. 1t had so happened,
that, by some singular blunder, the ailor had taken
up Southwick, whose trial had not been ordered for
that time, among the prisoners whose cases were
ready After their cases were all disposed of, the
Judge, seeing this man standing in the dock alone,
inquired of the prosecuting officer, what he was
charged with. The attorney answered, that he
knew nothing about him Whereupon, Souhwick's
COUNSEL who happened to be in court moved that he
be discharged; which was done. He had hardly

HE CELEsrIALs. San Francisco probably has
population of one thousand Chinese, and this pom
ulation IS the most orderly, Industrious and prudent
OF any class in our city. You never catch any of
the long cues in the haunts of dissipation, and per
consequence, none of them in the police books
They are generally pretty good mechanics; some of
them keep restaurants, and few trade in nick
nacks and curiosities. When lumber was scarce in
the market, large quantity was brought from Chi
nese ports, ready framed and matched for ten-foot
ers These made quite comfortable little cribs.
when man was satisfied to sleep under a carpen
ters bench or creep into crockery crate for proec-
non against the weather; but now, when lumber is
drug, people much prefer large space to breath in,
and American carpenters infinitely prefer to labor
upon square timber to the pcayune process of coax
ing together the round crooked sticks Of the cees-
tails We saw, the other day, some American car
penters trying puta Chinese frame, but it wouldn't
do AS fast as one side rose to perpendicular, the
other side tumbed over At last, they gave it up in
eespalr' when gang OF Chinese were seat for, and,
presto! the building was up like magic

SLAVE BREEDING. We commend to the notice
of our readers the article in this paper Henry Cays
reply to John Davis, in which he denied that raising
slaves for the market was made business in the rorth
ern slave States This denial is we'll refuted in the
article now published. Indeed it struck us as very
strange at the tme that any denial should be attempts
ed of fact so notorious, and of which there is such
abundant proof. We recollect, fact stated in our
hearing, few years since, by minister, who had Just
returned from journey in Virginia and North Caro-
Ina At public house where he stopped, he found
the landady quite sociable and communicative, and, in
the course of their conversation she took him to yard
in the rear of the house, show him her young mig
gers'' At the sound of WHISTLE (the signal for feed
ing) they all running to her, some twenty-five in
number stark Naked of both sexes and of various ages
from year old to FIVE six. To the inquiry, how
she became possessed of so many she said they were
the children of valuable house slaves and body servants
whose extra services, relieved of the Of the chill
dren would be worth more to their owners than the
value of the children. In such cases she was able to
obtain the children as gift, for comparatively
tifng consideration, and, in this way she had, for
many years, been able obtain from the country about
her, large numbers which she reared at triing ex-
pense, till they became of seabe size when she sent
them into the market. All this was related; not as
any thing discreditabe but as evidence of practical
shrewdness and praiseworthy thrift.
We could multiply proof of the fact denied by Henri,
Clay to almost any extent, but we content ourself
this time with the following advertisement living bv us
which was cut from Memphis, Tenn paper VI 'ss

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PHYsICIAN.-
Many will remember the circumstances of the cap
ture of Capt Bourne, by the Patagonians, at the
eastern Straits of Magean last year; of his deten-
ton among the savageS SO days, and his final mi
raculous escape. He relates, we learn, many in
teresting incidents of bis captivity. Among others
the following:
One day he presented his watch to the chief and
explained its use; that physicians in the States en-
poyed it in counting the pulse of the sick, to deter
mine their state of health To his surprise he was
Immediately taken up as doctor, Though disa-
vowing any knowledge Of medical practice, he was
sent by the chief to visit an old squaw who was
sick. He carried the watch, examined the pulse,
looked grave, and ordered her to be thoroughly
scrubbed with soap and sand. The prescription was
highly efficacious, and patients rapidly multiplied
Following the example of the renowned Sangrado
the same remedy was ordered in all subsequent ca
ses But the Captain soon learned, accidentally
that the physician held responsible for the pa
tents recovery; and in case of fatal result, the
Doctor would lose his life. He promptly disowned
the profession, and obstnately refused any farther
practices resolving to make himself of no further usG
to them, if his services might be thus cruelty re-
warded.

MANURE FOR FRUIT TREES. Dr. Kennicott
leading nurseryman and fruit-grower in Illinois
says that for fruit Trees and especially the apple and
ounce, ne has found barnyard manure, halEdecayed
chips, charcoal and ashes mixed, serviceable, He
had tired lime, but without benefit except on small
peaty spots. Yard manure alone, particularly for
peaches, plums and cherries, is deemed injurious,
and should not come in contract with the root ofany
tree until Thoroughly rotted.
