SENATOR DAVIS IN RAYmoKD.-We have not
n many days looked upon an assemblage of
people of which any country might so justly be
proud, than assembled at Raymond on Tuesday
last, to do honor to our distinguished and faith
ful Senator. The affair was cotton up by the
Southen Rights association Of Raymond, and
was perfect throughout. The number present
was estimated at 800 to 300 Col Davis ar
rived on the ground soon after | l o'clock, and
was escorted to the stand, where congratua-
tory address was delivered by John H. Stewart
esq The Senator was received most enthsias-
tcally, and after thanking the assemblage for
the kind demonstration, proceeded to deliver
one of the most eloquent, impressive and argu-
mentative speeches on the questions now so
unfortunately dividing our people, to which we
have ever listened.
He went into a review of the sectional con-
troversy on the slavery question from its origin
to the present time, and proved that the avowed
purpose of the Abolitionists was not only to
crush the institution Of slavery wherever the
federal government had jurisdiction, but to ex-
terminate it throughout the United States. He
showed that in every instance where there had
been a contest in Congress, the South, from a
desire to preserve the Union, had conceded her
clear constitutional rights, and that each conces-
Slou, instedu Vi dppchsHiS, OIty scTNcu W iuahe
her opponents more mportunate in her de-
mands and more bold in their aggressons. In
contradiction of the miserable pretext that we
were to have "peace and quiet" now that we
had again surrendered our rights, he showed
that the passage of the so-called "peace
measures" had wholly failed TO produce ces
sation of agitation and hostilites on the part OF
} the Northern States and people against the in
stution of slavery, but that their denunciation'
} were as bitter and insulting, and their war AZ
uncompromising since it had been before
That these measures were themselves but tn,
Indications and the result of that hostile public
sentiment which prevaded the Northern States
! and that whilst the Wimot Provso was no

upon any other terms.
Those who advise us to lie supinely on ou
backs, and wait until this agitation, never ceas
ing at the Nerth, has developed itself in furthe
aggressons, which they say will be intoerabe
are foes, not only to the welfare of the South
but to the peace and perpetutity of the Union
4 The only way to preserve the Union is tt
make it fulfil the great ends for which it wa'
/ created
But we cannot attempt even an outline of the
Senator's speech. IL is enough to say that j
was one of his best efforts ---Mississippian.

the 18th inst, five men taking one Of the Mon

Rapids Of the st. Mary's River, and before they

Ladies who use cosmetics should be good
chemists. Their action is thus described in a
new work
"A want of attention to the chemical action
of colors, has sometimes led ladies' into an em-
barrassing predicament Bismuth powder, some
times sold as a substitute for genuine pearl
powder, has the property of turning black when
in contact with the fumes of sulphur, or with
suIphurretted hydrogen gas. A lady who painted
with this cosmetic, happened to bathe in a
mineral water impregnated with this gas and
the consequence was that the artifcially whitened
skin turned nearly black, and 90 remained for
several weeks.
Another lady, who used the same cosmetic,
attended lecture at Harrowgate on mineral
waters and the lecturer handed round bottle
containing sulphuretted water, that its odor
might illustrate the point on which he was di
recting attention. The lady did AS other ladies
did,--smelt at the bottle and the result was,
that she became not merely fguratively, but
literally black in the face" Even the Goals of
common English fire often contain enough
sulphur to produce, in a slighter degree, an
analogous effect. Instances have been known
in which lady, seated near a large fire at
Christmas time, has had one side of her white
neck tnged with darkness which puzzled all,
except those who were aware of the effect Of
sulphur fumes upon bismuth cosmetics"

A Roscrea correspondent of the Tipperary
Vindicator announces the following sage and
scientific experiment g." There is at present a
very interesting experiment being carried on in
the Roscrea work-house, by the learned doctor
of that establishment, who at the suggestion of
the superintendent of national schools, has APP
propriatcd one of the idiot wards solely to the
use of deaf and dumb nurse and four infant
children, with view of ascertaining, in due
course of time, which is the aboriginal language
of man."
This is only All additional proof that some
learned men are utterly deficient in common
sense! Aboriginal language indeed !-aborigi-

WAsHINeToS PAPERs.--We have rarely seen,
SAYS the Savannah Georgian, so much truth
make its appearance in the opposing Washington
organs, the Union and the Republic, as has lately
been exhibited by them. Each is attempting TO
show that the party Of the other in the North, Is
rotten on the subject of slavery; and for all that
we can see, each has made out very strong
case. And yet for Southern men to think OF
dissolving connection with such parties is sec
tional and horriblel In New York the pre-
tended conservative Wings have completely
surrendered to Seward and his abolition gang.
while in Ohio, the Democratic convention, lately
held, dared MOI to endorse the compromise
even injurious as it was to the slave States.
The little remaining sense of justice towards
the South in Northern minds, is, doubtless
among Dcmocrats--but it is too limited in its
prevalence to constitute any substantial basis OF
hope for better things in future.

EW- Some one-who probably knew well
what he was about-has been hoaxing the New
Workers with telegraphic despatch from Wash
ington, addressed to the Herald. He announces
that: M f Has4 p
"The President has arrived. The Cabinet
Immediately held meeting. 1t was in session
this evening A government agent goes in the
steamer Saranac to Havana Washington, Aug
26, 1851"
Now, every one in the capital knows that the
President, Mr.. WEBSTER, Mr.. CRIrrESDEN, and
Dir. STUART, are still absent n.
This despatch is either satire upon the Cabi-
net, for its absence at this moment, or it is a
fabrication got up for effect and to allay the ex-
element about Cuba. We think such fraudu-
lent use of the telegraph highly reprehensible !;
and that parties so using it should be made re-
sponsible for their acts, and punished for the cir
culation of falsehood.

THE RANDOLPH NEGRoEs.--A writer in the
Baltimore Patriot, who is travelling in Ohio,
gives this account of the Randolph negroes,
who, il will be remembered, were driven from
their homes which had been procured for them
by the whites:
"Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton, is a
small and rather dapidsted town, between this
place and Pequa. Along the canal the majority
! of the Randolph negroes are located. IL was in
tho adjoining county of Mercer that the large
tract of land was purchased for their settlement
from which they were forcibly elected by the
white inhabitants. The condition OF these poor
creatures is sad commentary on the miserable
policy Of emancipating negroes, and allowing
them to remain in this country. The majority
of these once invaluable servants are now worth
less pests upon the community among whom
they are located, and often want for the common
necessaries of life heard several express AZ
ardent wish to return to the shores OF Roanoke
again. where they once had plenty, and did moi
know what it WAS to suffer for want"
