We ask pardon of our readers for stepping
aside from the usual routine, Of our daily
business, to give place in the first column OF
our paper TO ftw words with regard to the
Great English Tragedian, Junius Brutus
Booth He is dead the fire of his erring
and cratic genius has gone out,-he has
played his part, and the curtain has gone
down FOREVER.
1t has been but few days ago, since a
crowded audience at the st. Charles were
h u encl,aned by the magic influence of
his transcendant genius, and now the mourn.
full intelligence reaches us of his death.
There are few of the great mass Of man.
kind, that will turn aside from the hurly-
bury Of every day excitement to pay res
pect TO the memory of the great Tragedian.
No, there are grand pagen:s and obseluious
parades for the hero, the statesman and the
politician, but for the great player-he who
has given life and local habitation to the
dreams Of the immortal poet, receives no
idle marx Of useless esteem.
His name and fame is the property Of all
mankind and the evidence that his part has
been veil played, is indelib!y recorded up
on the hearts of those who have seen him
in the fevercd slumber of the "Hunch Back
Iyrant," or the "Wid rawlings of Lear"
The rival of Kemble and Kean is dead 1!
And to whom may we ask does he bcqueath
the laurel crown of the Tragic Muses The
man does not live, TO take up the flame of
his genius and entrance the world with the
heat and briIIancy of his imagination.
Booth was welded to his Profession
not for the lucre, but because it gave vent
to his fiery spirit and wild fancy. He cared
little for the vain adulation and praise of
mankind. He delighted in wandering off
from the beaten path of every day life, and
not unirequently obscured the light of his
reason, and drownded all thought in the
wire cup
Noman possessed higher qualities for success
than Booth and though his has been fit.
full feaver he has played his part we'll
And this is life,
"a tale, full Of sound aud fury.

VIM. Elder, Esq.-A great many per-
sons have expressed their doubts about the
weak lungs Of our friend Elder, and the
question is, were they strengthened by
Whistar's hour hound candy, or long re-
sidence in the low temperature Of the Mann
moth cave, or n political discussion with
the "leather lunged' Sec'ry. Of the Wing
Baltimore Convention. We consider these
matters of no general importance, Mr.. Ell
der is the best "whip" in the country and
drives his carriage and four" with a
grace never attained by Count D'Osay, if he
wants to whisper to his horses, or speak to
friend, he is heard and no mistake, and we
hope he may live thousand years to carry
the mails, and the males, and the females
that desire TO travel between this place and
Clinton, in his comfortable Troy built stage,
for it is refreshing along the road, to hear
his whip give scientific snap, and his voice
encourage his well worked, but equally well
taken care of horses. Mr.. Elder, like the
New Orleans Delta, is neutral in politics.

THE CELETslALs IN CALIFORNIA
The st. Louis Mteliigencer of,he 10th
inst, contains letter from San Fran
cisco, bearing date the 30. Sept, from
which VIC extract the following.
"Thc last advices from China induce
the belief that the message of Gov.
Biglar, recommending stringent meas
ures TO check the emigration of the
Celesiials to California, has completely
accomplished tha! object. 1t is said
indeed that the emigration has ceased
altogether. If such be the fact, it will
prove In some respects a misfortune to
g: lifornia for although desirable to
Arye a very great influx of such pop
u'ation, it is at the same time, true,
that a reasonable number Of them
would prove most valuable acquisition
They are an exceedingly industrious,
temperate and prudent people, whilst,
at the the same time, they are distin-
Guishcd for a quiet cheerful, and inof-
fcnsive department Among the thou
sands Of them that have seen in Cali
iornia, [ have not seen one intoxicated,
and it is very rare thing that they are
arraigned for breaches of the peace or
nisdemeanors They are excellent az
riculturalsts, skilfuI artisans and pecu-
liarly fitted for mental duties. In these
respects, they are precisely such pop
ulaton as California can proftably en-
ploy. They will till her lands, devel-
op the mechanic arts, aud perform the
Offices Of domestics most admirably.
They are also beginning to be employ
ed extensively as day laborers about
tho cities For several weeks past !
have noticed a gang of twenty-five or
thirty of them, employed as bod men
end common laborcrs, upon large
building with granite front, lately
erected in this city"

WEIGHS PoRTRAIr OF WAsH1sGroN
In speaking of this beautiful portrait, the
Richmond Despatch says:
1t is large portrait, engraved on steel,
from the original painting of that great
man, by Gilbert Charles Stuart. and is
worthy of all the admiration it has elici-
ted. 1t was engraved under the super
intendeuce of Thomas Sully. Esq, the
eminent and highly gifted artist, and is
pronounced by good judges to be the best
likeness of Washington ever published
Mr.. WEIGH, the engraver, is an accom-
plished artist of Charleston, S. c., and it
is appropriate that the South should have
the honor of giving the most perfect por-
trait of the illustrious Southerner, who, by
general consent is esteemed the Father of
his Country. Mr. W., it is stated by
those who had the best opportunities for
forming correct opinion, has been very
successful in delineating with fidelity, the
original features and expression of Wash
lngton's face, while the whole engraving
is finished specimen of American art
Mr.. King is the agent for the sale of this
magnificent portrait in Virginia, and has
his office at the store of Messrs. Nash &
Woodhouse, where any of our readers
who desire handsome portrait of Wash
ington, to place in their parlors, can OBJ

OF gratefulness, submit the following as an in

chId, three years ago, was suddenly attacked with
d terrible disease, which in less than six hours
Frustrated it to total helplessness The limbs be-
came so rigid that not joint could be bent; the
nesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
of feeling, the eyes fixed partially closed and al
together blind; following this was deafness to all!
sounds; the spine became contracted and SO cur
we'd that when lying its back the head and heels
only touched. Indeed the child presented every
appearance of being dead. Immediately on the
attack, the family physician was called in. and
for three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling
but all in vain, although it was blistered dozen
times and various rubefacient Liniments applied.
A consultation of hysicians was then held but
to no purpose, the case then brought before
the medical society, but nothing could be sugges-
ted which had not already been done, and the doc
tor then told me he could do nothing We
then commenced applying your Liniment freely
over the entire length of the spine, and you may
imagine parents joy, when after few applica-
tions, returning animation was apparent; and it
rapidly recovered, with the exception of the sight
which did not become perfect for nearly month.
The child is now healthy and robust can be-
Five other cases Of the same kind occurred previ-
ously in my neighbOrhood, all of which died
when there is no doubt if your Liniment had been
used, they would have recovered.

In the company of angels, under the smile of

reserved for the strfes, the tolls the bitterness of
life, with its blasted hopes, its empty triumphs.
The strange readings of his innocent heart to
comprehend the glory, beauty and majesty of the
spirit-word, are nll answered, ere the sins the
sorrows of manhood had dimmed his imaginings.
But whilst the hearts of his parents and near kin
dred arc yet wounded afresh, the agony of NOR
tai separation tho uuutterable pathos of the dy-
ing bed, the silence of the solemn grave, will
seem to obscure those great truths of Religion up
on which alone may lean for comfort in tho
