A. POWERFUL DELINEATION.

The following is an extract from the ad-
dress of Judge Johnson, of Georgia, in SEN
teneing G. d. Comet TO death, for the MUIR
der of " w. Hailes, without provocation,
delivered on the 10th of September, 1851:
"Nor shall the place be forgotten in which
occurred this shedding of blood. 1t was in
one of the thousand ante-chambers of hell
which mar, like plague spots, the fair face of
our State, You need not be told that mean
a tippling-shop-the meeting place of Satan's
minions, and the foul cess-pool which by
spontaneous generation, breeds and nurtures
all that is loathsome and disgusting in pro-
family, and babbling, and vulgarity, and Sab
bath breaking. would not be the owner Of
a groygesy. for the price this globe convert
ed into preciSu.N ore. For the pitifnl sdm OF
dime he furnished the poison which made
the deceased fool, and converted this tremb-
ling culprit into demon. How paltry this
price of two human lives! This traffic is tol-
Grated by law, and therefore the vender has
committed an offence not cognizable by
earthly tribunals But in the sight of Him
who is unerring in wisdom, he who deliber-
ately furnishes the intoxicating draught which
inhames men TO anger and violence and blood
shed, is particeps criminis in the moral tur-
pitude Of the deed. Is it not Nighttime that
these sinks of vice and crime should be held
rigidly accountable to the laws of the land,
and placed under the ban of an enlightened
and virtuous public opinion"

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, April 80.


Mr.. Pearce, Of Maryland, entered yesterday
upon an elaborate vindication of the admins
traton from the charge of extravaganza in the
expenditure of public money in California
urged by DR.. Gwin. Among the instances OF
extravaganza mentioned by DIR. Gwin, was
the allowance of $4,000 for military escort
for Mr.. Collier, the Collector of San Fran
cisco, when he was sent overland to that port;
the expenses of the custom house at that
place since; the expenditures of the Quarter
Masters Department in California; and, chiefly
the enormous debts contracted by the Indian
agents for supplies to Indians. Mr.. Pearce
explained all these matters; as to the Collec-
tor, he was sent out with money to disburse
for the United States, and to send him alone,
through wilderness inhabited by savages,
would have been wise, if the object was to
expose him to the loss of himself and his
money too. The quartermasters could not
get supplies for love, and hardly for money,
in that new and distant country, though the
Government paid no more for transportation,
and supplies, &c, than the common price
there As to the Indians, they were fierce
and mobile race, and must be coneiliated, or
driven into the sea; the expenses of war
with them would have vastly exceeded the
amount necessary to pay the expense of the
treaties which have been made with them.
The half million of dollars spent by the
agents has not been paid by the Government,
though the agents here have not been GEN.
sured for their conduct The subject is to be
investigated The expenses were for food
and presents for the Indians. The agents,
no doubt, exceeded their authority. The ap-
preparation for these objects was only $5O,O0o
The next administration will probably find
that California will absorb very large por-
ton of the whole revenue, especially if the
public works projected there are to be carried
on-if Light Houses, and Mint, and Navy
Yard, and Dry Dock are to be established
there, it will cost some one or two hundred
millions, during the next twenty years, to
provide for the defence of California; for ilei
Notifications, harbors, Indians, and various
public establishments, and by that time, per-
haps, she will be ready to separate from the
Atlantic States. Cor. Char. COur.

think she is not the advocate Of indiscrim

The novels of Walter Scott, Hannah
More, Oliver Goldsmith, Jane Porter and
others who have thus sough, to inculcate
history and morality, are as jndieious read
ings as can be placed in the hands Of young
people. But modern novels generally and
those Of the French school particularly, are
injurious to the mind and should not be 81
