THE WEEKLY DISPATCH.

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
1T the iosc price Of ONE DOLLAR per snn,.m,,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and as cheap az any in the Union.
This paper IL made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
II Is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet IN the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment it is Southern--is conductors
are VIrginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citixens.
Ihey enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terPrize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
VIII deny. 10 doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know 1t to be impossible.
lTIhe low price at which the paper is pub
Ilshed requires that the subscription be paid al

GEORGE McDUFFIE.-A correspondent of the
Mobile Herald gives this graphic sketch of Mr..
McDuffie's last speech in the Senate.
"The last time remember seeing this distin-
gushed statesman was on the floor of the Uni
ted States Senate, during debate on the tariff
question, in l846. He walked to his seat with
great difficulty, on account of his paralysis; yet
declined the proffered assistance of Sewer, of
Arkansas, and John c. Calhoun. both of whom
offered him every attention. When seated, he
wrote short note to Dixon II. Lewis, who i'm
mediately had his enormous chair wheeled to
the desk of Mr. McDuffie, and aided him in
preparing his documents and in rising to his
feet The whole chamber was silent in mo-
ment 1t might have been Difference to the
bodily infirmity of the man, who could only
stand by having each elbow supported and
both hands clasped upon the head of his cane
or it might have been in compliment to his
towering intellect and burning eloquence; but
so it was, and the proud flashing eye of the
statesman seemed to acknowledge this homage
as his right His first few sentences were ut
tered in gasps, as though he were suffering ex.
crucating pain; but after he began to warm
with his subject, he became eloquent indeed
His attack was pointed principally against Dan
iel Webster, and he appeared to pride himself
on entering the llsts WIFI nun, Wnoih ne aiohe
deemed worthy of his steel. To describe the
graceful manner in which he glided from pro
found argument into caustic ironry and then tc
solemn invocation, surpasses my humble abil
ties; but that he enchaincd every heart, ear, and
eye present for more than an hour, C m be testi
fled to by hundreds. Before closing his speech
with his last burst Of eoquence, remember hi.
becoming so excited that, forgetting all his nu
merous maladcs, he removed his arms from
their supports dropped his cane on the floor
and stood, to the astonishment Of everybody
alone and unaided; while The grace and dignity
of his action could be surpassed by no one
As he uttered his last remark, Lewis, fearful o
an accident, caught him in his arms, and farl,
carried him to his set A week after this incl
dent Congress adjourned, and Mr.. McDafR,
never afterwards visited Washington City,"

BY AN OLD CORRESPONDENT.

The following If not neto, is at least true
and is worthy Of attention, at this particular
time, when 30 many of 'em are rushing ncon-
tnenty into the holy bands Of matrimony, to be
lost to us forever.
This little fable (said my Uncle,) may per-
haps be of service to some poor devil, more
willing than WISE
certain man once married lady, whose re-
putation for amiability of disposition was seri-
ousy questioned, lift was not in reality serious
ly questionable. At the wedding, every thing
went off merrly, of course the party gay, the
supper magnifcent-the whole affair had been
eminently successful, and all parties extremely
delighted.
On retiring to his apartments, the gentleman
found himself annoyed by the mewing and purr-
ing of a cat.
'What in the DEVILS name is thatr he ex-
claimed
Oh nothing my dear replied the bride, 'but
my favorite cat, Pussita.'
oh! d--n Pussita II hale cats = and with
this he most unceremoniously threw Pussita out
of the second story window.
We'll IF you havn't got tempcrr
yes my dear you'd better believe it,
Every thing continued my Uncle, went on
well, in that esfablish,nenf-even to warm dinner
on Sunday
Now it so happened that friend of the above
mentioned gentleman, who had some months
before committed the error of marrying ar
angel took occasion to enquire of him
How it was, that with him, everything wen
merry xs the marriage bell while, on the con
trary, he (his friend) had almost given up The
idea of wearing pantaoons at all
Whereupon he related to him the story O.
Pussita and the second story window, without,
said Uncle, full impressing upon his mind tn,
important moral-that it was necessary to begi,
right Nevertheless there was that in his eye
when he started for home, shat told of trca
SON.
'Wellr said his wife, you've come home a
last, have you-after keeping me sitting NJ
for you--and what's the matter-you haven
been drinking hare you you look very strange
Not in the least, my dear--but 1 hate cdts
lovey.'
You do--do you-wcll, IiiIeem--that's al
the difference
Hereupon the unfortunate husband made
dash at poor Tnbby-who was quietly snoozin,
on the sofa--and rushed mpetuously to the win
dow
You hare been drinking What are you 90
ing 10 do monster ?
Throw her out of the Window
You'd better try it'd like to see you do ]
I'd break every bone in your body-wh,
don't you throw her out!--I dare you TO do it,.

The New CoN.-The die for the three cent
pieces, ordered to be coined by the last Congress,
has been finished, and the coinage would be pro-
ceeded with at once at our mint, but for defect
in the law, which makes no provision for procur-
ing the silver and copper to commence with. In
consequence, the coinage will be delayed until the
proper steps taken by the authorities at Wash
ington to remedy the deficiency. The new coin
is decidedly neat and tasty; and will be in mea-
sure a convenient substitute for coppers. 1t is
onefourth copper and three-fourths silver, so that
the baser metal affects the color but slightly In
size it is between the gold dollar and the five cent
piece but it is so much thinner than either, that
a blind man can easily distinguish them apart by
the touch. The face of the coin has a capital C,
with 3 in numerals, indicating the value Of the
coin embraced within it, Around the edge are the
thirteen stars for the original States. On the re-
verse is star, having in its centre an American
shield, and around the edge, "Unted States of

A Hsso-a TS.lchisg .ksrraiips !--"There il
an sndsaring tendsrness, says Washington lrv-
ing. sin the love Of q mother for her son, that
transcsnds all other affections Of the hsart." We
have just heard touching illustration Of the fact
that the love of = son for his mother may also
transcend and swallow up all other affections, at
moment, too, when he might well be pardoned
for remembering only his own great trials.
Some two years ago, young man, belonging
to Philadelphia, was returning by railroad to that
city, from the town Of Reading, Pennsylvania.
BY an accident which happened to the train as it
was approaching the town, and while he was
standing upon the platform, he was thrown of,
and fell partly under the wheel of the succeeding
car, and his right arm, marrow, bones, and all,
crushed to jelly, and dropped useessly at his side.
This, however, was fortunately his only injury
lie was young man Undetermined nerve, and Of
the nobest spirit. He uttered no compIaint--not
even groan.
When the train arrived at the depot, carriage
was Immediately called, when, attended by his
friend, he said "Drive at once to Dr. IS, in
Walnut street."
"Hadnt you better go Immediately home 7"
asked his friend
"No," said he, 81 don't want them to know
any thing about me until all is over"
'Our hero, - for he was hero, was deaf to all
the c0unter-remO Onstrances of his friend and they
drove rapidly TO the house of the eminent surgeon
alluded to- They were shown into the paror and
the doctor was summoned. After the examina-
ton, "Well my dear fellow" said the surgeon,
for he was well acquainted with his patient, "you
know, | suppose what must be done" III do,
he REPLIED and it is for the purpose of having il
done that am here" "My surgical table, said
the doctor, 'is below .'Can il not be done
without that ?" asked the sufferer, 81 cannot be
ted cannot be held. Amputate my arm here,
DOCTOR" he continued holding out his dangling
limb over the back of the sofa. "Do it here, doc
tor, shall not interfere with your operators.
The limb was barred, two atte ndants, medical
students in the house, were summoned the arm
was taken off above the elbow, while the patient
sat as he had requested, uttering no groan, nor
speaking single word, while the operation was
being performed The dressings were applied;
and, attended by his friend the patient had reach
ed the door, on his way to his own house, which
very near by, when he turned round to the
surgeon and said, doctor, | should like to look
at my arm once more; pray let me see it," The
surgeon raised the mangled limb; the patient
glanced at the bOodless hand and said, doctor,
there is ring upon the middle finger ofthat hand,
won't you take il of for me My mother gave
me that ring on her deaih-bed can part with
my arm, but while live, can't part with that
ring" The ring was slipped from the cold white
finger "Put it on that 6nger," said he, holding
out the same finger on the left hand. As he was
leaving the door, with his attendant, to enter the
carriage, he said, "How shall bring this thing
to my poor sister !" Is not this a true "hero,"

GOLD IN ARKANsAs.--For many years peolo.
gists have anticipated the discovery of gold in
the primitive formations of Arkansas, but until
within few months, we believe none Of the pre-
cious metal had been found Last summer a
practical mineralogist, of this city, made tour
through the western and northern portions of
the State; he found the bitumnous and anth-
racte Goals in great abundance in the sandstone
region. While among the mountains, he four
vast quantities of iron, lead, and copper. He
found in situ, gold melted in the quartz, and he
returned fully convinced that, sooner or later,
gold would be found in abundance This week
a gentleman from Arkansas brought to this city
for analysis several masses of quartz and gold,
from which were extracted $3.50 Of pure gold,
Of twenty-three carats fine. The gentleman
left to-day for this new California The rock
and ore are precisely similar in appearance to
the ore brought from California. The Ozark
Mountains ofArkansas are of the primitive rocks
They abound in the metals peculiar to that for
nation, and gold ought to be associated with
them. The country bears traces Of volcanic
ncton and lies in the line between the active
volcanoes Of the South and New Madrid, the
northern limit of the subterranean commissions
We have no doubt that in short time Arkan-
saa viii rival California--N o. Crescent
