IRREGIILARITY,

WE arc requested by several gentlemen to ask,
from any ono who can give it, an explanation of
the fact that the Charleston Mercury fails to reach
our office in due time, while the other Charleston
papers do not. 1t is exceedingly annoying to be
so often disappointed in the reception of paper,
which we oil look to with such eager interest.
Con ca the Mercury do anything towards rectifying

.opER.TToN MEETING AIT poRr,s.


WE expected to have received an account Of
this meeting for this weeks paper, but it has not
come to hand. AS it may be matter of interest
to some, we will merely state that, from all nc
counts, it passed of in pleasant style. The general
impression of all present seems TO be that Mr. A. p
ALDRIcu, of Barnwell, made an excellent speech
We know him to be fully capable of it.
We have heard the number present variously
estimated at from three to six hundred. The last
is the estimate made bymany of the Cooperation
lists, although some of them take higher figure.
Since writing the above, We have received the
Nport of thomee;ing and various documents con-
nestsdsitia it, will publishas much of them

marching steadily to the redress of grievances
contrary to the advice and dictation of all their
temporisng leaders, however able and gifted they
may be. Such movement will force the respect
and admiration Of mankind. 1t is the sublime
essence of patriotism, courage and virtue.
The next ground occupied by our immediate
Representative was, that, at this time, the hope
Of obtaining the cooperation of the other South
ern States, without some fresh act Of aggression,
was utterly futile.
The eloquent speaker began with the most
Northern of the slaveholding States, and scpa-
ratcly weighed the chances of each ones cntcr-
ing into the proposed Confcdcracy, for the re-
dress of their wrongs, proving to my entire satls-
faction, that in that aspect of the case, our final
hope was fiat despair" and that our brave sisters
had al, either partially or fully acquieseed in tho
Compromise. He presented, with great force,
this strongest argument in favor fseparats seces
sion, but unhappiy, brought it to the lamcst and
most impotent conclusion. Instead of cxhortng
his fcflow-citixcns, to rouse themselves up, aud |
strike for their redemption from slavery, he cx-
claimed, like another great Prince on IN august

Contention in Massachusetts. We'd
nesday last the House of Representatives of
Massachusetts, by nearly a party vote, pass
ed bill calling Convention to amend the
Constitution of the State. This seems to have
been movement on the part Of the Coalition
majority which was not asked for by the
People. TO their approval, however, the
the bill will have to be submitted before it
can be carried into effect. The Boston At
las remarks that there is no necessity for a
Convention to amend The Constitution, even
if an exigency existed for amending it, than
there is for fifth wheel TO coach, as the
Constitution contains provision authorizing
the Legislature to amend it whenever two
thirds OF the House shall so decide

President and Associate Judges.

The following daguerreotype of what our
judges should be, we clip from the Harris
burg State Journal
"Of all the officers to he chosen al the
next election, we regard the Judges as the
most important to the community. Whether
we consider the long term Of their office,
their elevated and responsible station; or the
vast range and effect Of their duties the subject
is one ofdeep vital interest. They are TO and
sit IN judgment upon life, liberty and proper
erty and we hold that the utmost care is re-
9uste in their selection.
"A President Judge should be learned in
the law. familiar with the Reports. decided
not doubling and timid, beyond the suspiCi-
cion OF fear, favor or affection, Of unquestion-
ed integrity, and of recognized sobrley.--
He should also be kind to those subordinate

rather than rude in his manners Ability

Of reputation, having the confidence Of The
community. Although it is not requisite
they should have extensive legal knowledge,
the duties Of their Office require sound judg-
men', good business habits. and some fami!-
iaritv with legal proceedings. In the Quar-
ter Sessions and in the Orphans Court they
are frequently called TO decide questions

BATTLE OF New ORLEANs.-It is re-
lated by correspondent of the ". Y.
Enquirer, that the late Major Davezac,
when a passenger some years ago on
board the packet ship Cambridge, from
Liverpool to New York, related the fol-
lowing incident Illustrative of the sharp
shooting at the battle of New Orleans
He stated that, on the morning after the
battle, ttccicc boiled robins were placed
on the breakfast table prepared for Gen
eral Jackson and his suite, which had
been shot with rife, through the head, by
one of the Kentucky Rihemen, who had
been in the conflict he had fired thirteen
times and missed hitting his bird, in the
head, only once This circumstance be-
ing soon known in the neighborhood, a
certificate of the fact was requested of
and obtained from Gen. Jackson and his
aids, by the British officers, that, by such
evidence, on their return to England, they
might exhibit to their Government the
character of the enemy at New Orleans.

Diet of the Greeks and Romans.

TO those of our readers who may De
interested in the subject of diatetlcs, |
submit the following statistics, CLEANED
from sources which | regard as entitled
to confidence. The Greeks and Romans
used no alcoholic liquors, nor tea, coffee,
chocolate or sugar. Butter was very
rarely used among them. Gaien says he
never saw any butter but once in his life.
The Greeks and the Romans were also
ignorant of the most of the tropical spi-
ces, such as cloves, ginger, nutmeg, Cay
enne pepper, mace, pimento, &c. They
knew nothing of spinach, sago, tapioca,
arrow root, or potato nor among fruits,
of the orange. They were unacquainted
with tobacco.
Beef was ordinarily the principle artl-
Gle of diet among them. The flesh OF the
SOW and the wild boar, being supposed to
be much like human flesh, was consider
cd as peculiarly nourishing; athletes,
when training for the amphithcatre, con
sequently preferred this kind of flesh
The ancients ate MELONS, acorns, iuplnes,
white raddish, lettuce and sorrel abun-
dantlv. Some kinds of animal feed re-
iected BY us were held in high esteem by
them, as the wild ass, young dogs, door
mice, foxes, parraquets, lizards, &C.
The doormouse was eaten before its win
ter sleep, and when fat was esteemed a
great luxury, and served up with honey
and poppy. The peacock was much es-
teemed as an article Of food so also the
wings and brain of the ostrich. For
one dish of ostrich brains, 800 in num-
Der, the emperor Heliogabalus was at an
expense of 900 pounds sterling. The
crane and the swan were fashionable
dishes at Rome till the time of Augustus
Young cocks which had been drowned
in Falernian wine (the most esteemed
wine of that time and afterwards mace
rated in it, were reckoned luxury =.
the liver of the goose made into paste
with milk and figs, was an invention of
the consul Metellus, and was in high re-
pute.
Among the earlier Greeks and Ro-
mans FISH were considered an effeminate
sort Of food; but at later period they
became principal article of diet among
the fashionables. Sometimes single fishes
were sold at greater price than the cost
of slave. The fresh water lamprey
brought immense sums; the sturgeon was
deemed worthy a place upon the tables
Of the emperors and the noblest Romans,
and was served up with great pomp.-
The mackeral and funny fish were in
reputc, and were eaten with rue and As
But the roach and mullet were
The ne plus ultra Of Roman luxury
Three cost about 500 of our money
The ericure Apicius made voyage to
Africa in pursuit Of certain kind of fish,
but it Is not known exactly what kind it
was He afterwards committed suicide
from fear Of wanting means of gaStrono-
mic Indulgence although he possessed 9
fortune at the time Of his death of nearly
$500, ,000.

Culture of Sugar.

tnre was l4Ss90, and the product was 49,

1851 The crop will exceed 200, ,OO0 hogshead,
worth ten millions Of dollars The capital
now employed is seventy millions Of dollars.
