Byron's Daughter.

London paper has the following men
ton OF ada, sole daughter Of my house and
heart" recently deceased:
The Countess Of Lovelace was thorough
y original, and the poetic temperament was
all that was hers in common with her faith
cr. Her genius, for genius she possessed,
was not poetic, but metaphysical and mathe-
maticnl, her mind having been in the con-
slant practice Of investigation, and with
rigorous exactness With an understanding
thoroughly masculine in soIldity, grasp and
hrnness, Lady !.oveiaee had Mi the dclica-
cles Of the most refined female character
Her manners, her tastes, her accomplish
ments, in many Of which, music especially,
she was proficient, were f minnie in the
incest sense Of the word and the superficial
observer would never have OWNED the
strength and the knowledge that lay hidden
under the womanly graccs. Proportionate
to her distaste for the frivolous and common
place was her enjoyment Of true intellectu-
al society, and eagerly she sought the nc.
quaintance of all who were distinguished in
science, art and literature.
IL is stated, with what truth We know not
that Lady LOvelace was the author Of that
remarkable work, "The Vestiges Of Crea-
ton"

Sad and Fatal Occurrence.

A ERrESp has related to us the particu-
lars Of n sad occurrence, which took place
in Kcrshaw District,a a few days ago.
A negro belonging to n MIR. Young, of
Kershaw District, assaulted a negro belong
ing to Mr.. B'air of the same District. Mr..
Blair, probably believing the assault to be
urjust, called on Mr.. Young to chastisc his
negro for the offence. Mr.. Young refused
te do so, which led to fracas between Dir.
Blair, (who was accompanied by his negro
boy,) on the one side, and Mr.. Young and his
two Brothers on the other. In the fracas
one of the Youngs struck Blair over the
head with his gun, when Mrs. Young, (nn
elderly lady, the mother of the Youngs,) ran
out--just then, Mr.. Blair's boy fired gun
and the contents entering Mrs. Youngs body
killed her instantly. Whether Mr.. BIS. boy
shot with the intention of killing one of the
Youngs, or whether designedly to kill Mrs
Young, is not known.
The boy has since made his escape.

Death Of Alexander johnson, ESQ,

excellent citizen; in every relation of life

an officer in the Bank of Camden, dis

eousness to all who came within the sphere
OF his vocation. lie was a worthy inem-

The Philosophy Of Advertising.

The New York Sun gives the experience
of an old advertiser, who says the matter
of profitable advertisingis very simple. Il
make it rule to advertise in the paper
having the largest circulation among the
people. When advertisements are begged
of me for papers of tritling circulation, and
offers are made to insert them at nom
inal price, I would say to myself. any
money spent in such way can bring lit
lie profit. 1t is moro profitable to adver-
tise little more i'll the widely circulated
paper, and pay its prices

Shocking Massacre.

We mentioned, few days ago, that
frightful tragedy had been perpetrated at
the Bon Dicu, 10y an insane man, who had
been Put ashore by the officers and hands
on board the steamer John Strader. Our
account, however, fell far short of the
terrible facts which have since been re-
vealed. We copy from the Red River
Republican the following history of the
said affair:
"The steamer John Strader put ashore,
for Whist reason is unknown, man who
is supposed to have been deranyr,l. 1t
was near the house of Mr.. 0. Rachal,
where he applied, it being night, for shcl>
ter, which was given him. During the
night he arose and stabbed every person
on the premises, consisting of Mr.. Rachal,
his wife, child and two servants, man
and woman The three former lie killed
instantly, but the servant man managed,
though badly wounded, to get to the ad-
joining place and tell the tale of blood.
In the meantime, the unhappy author had
gone OIL some distance, and when discov-
cred, had his ears cut off and n cut across
his throat. Being told that the persons
he had stabbed were dead, he said, swell,
then, / must kill myself, too" and, draw
ing his knife deeply across his abdomen,
gave himself wound, of which he died
| in short time"
If the officers Of the steamer let loose
this madman among the people on shore,
knowing him to be insane, and without
cautioning the people there of his condition,
they should be held responsible for the
murders which have been committed; and
we sincerely trust that stern justice will
''known not let up" until this matter is
thoroughly satisfied, and every participa-
tor in this abominable and cruel outrage
receive the punishment due the enormily
of the offence. To say ,he man was crazy
and unruly OH board the boat, is no earthly
excuse for thrusting him, uncared-for,
ashore. On the contrary, it gave addition
to the cruel act. Ii the officers had the
power and courage to put in chains u
mutinons hand on board their boat, they
surely had the power to have rendered
the rawlings of mailman harmless. The
officers of the boat are bound, in juttice
to themselves and in obedience to the
demands Of an outraged community, t.
make some exculpatory explanation of this
affalr,if they can, or be held up, as they
ought to be, to public scorn and indrgna-
tion.-N. o. Daily Delta, 4M.

Corroner's Inquest.

A coRRosEk's inquest was held at Mr..
Hasscltinc.s Hotel, in this town on Saturday
last, over tie body Of a man by the name of
John McCloui.
Being one of the jury, the facts, rs elected
in the case, seem to Dc these:
McCloud was in bad health, and applied
to Mr. Hasseltinc for work, who gave him y
place in his Tan Yard. McCloud, n few
days after, went to Camden, and exposed
himself very much 10 the cold, &c. On his
return he WIS very sick, and physician was
sent for. Tho physician prescribed. and on

about modern Improvements, including

OF human ingenuity; but there is nothing
which can compare with the newspaper
IN the variety and value of its uses; and in
few departments is it Of greater Importance
to mankind than rs vehicle of ADVERT
sing. 1t is useful to buyers, because it
tells them where they can supply their
wants, and it is more useful to sellers,
because it brings the former to their
counters, where they know how to dispose
the lights and shades and every thing else
to advantage. AS editors of Family
Journal, and as moralists, to some extent,
we must do justice to all parties. Hence,
we would advise those who read the adj
vertsements, and 90 where so many
charming things are spread out for sale,
to exercise as much self-control as possible.
But, after satisfying our conscience in this
respect let us take the seller aside and
have q philosophical talk with him. IL
you don't know it already, it may bo to
your interest to learn, that human wants
are almost without bounds. There are
thousands who fancy their wants to be
numerous and urgent when under the
excitement of readin., advertisements
But when they see the article themselves,
they become legion. Hence, these ad-
vertisements are traps, whi.h catch the
fancy aud afterwards the soul, totally
demolishing the wisest and frmest resolu-
tions. Don't be afraid that we arc making
the secret too public. Human nature is
human nature, and on can make nothing
else of it. Put it to the test, with all its
philosophy, and the rerum concordia

icy advocated by Munroc would suit opr 4 ~.
Is not for me TO determine bat certain il is
that some foreign policy should be at once
adopted, by our present Congress. Mexico
is on the verge of dissolution, and soon her
mime will only be remembered as those
things that were. All Europe is EARNED to
the teeth" and England is setting her house
in order, not to die, butte live, and France is
only waiting for pretencc to "let slip the
dogs of war;" and recent intelligence from
the other side of the Atlantic. warrant ms in
believing that if Count Boulbon had succce-
ded in his recent expedition against Sonora,
that the whole of Europe would have back
ed him. We are in no danger of war, for,
in the language of Mr.. Clemens, of Ala. " /.
thousand Cubas could not force England to
declare war against the United States: and
she would countit poor exchange to secure
Cni'a to Spain, and herself ioes Canada
France will not war with u.s. for the LANDING
OF 100000 soldiers ou our shores, would on
ly be to vote them to the sword, and she
owes more of her greatness to her naval n.
chicvements. Who will Mexico fall heir
to- is n question not now of Imagination, but
one which should be determined by this
Government. That she will fall, is now n
fixed fact, and she must fall in the embrace
Of some Of the foreign powers, for all wish
her, and she must belong to the American
people.
Fears arc entertained that Louis Napole
on will make a coup de mani on England
something after the fashion of his coup de
etdt in France. Napoleon natures all his
plans well, and then carries them out at the
risk of every thing, and nothing proves this
more clearly than his recent marriage.
The Pacific Railroad has not been built
by Congress yet, and some Of the wiser
heads think, the wiser plan is to survey and
locate tho route, b"core the road is built
This Is the modus operdndi of all other roads
and see no reason why it should be depar-
ted from in this instance.
On Wednesday next, the votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President will be counted,
and the election declared.
The President elect was in Boston at the
latest accounts, preparing for his journey to
his city. He IS expected here about the
10th, or perhaps earlier Till that time we
must remain ignorant Of the caste Of the
Cabinet. We have had dozen cabinets
dnce the election, but they have never been
confirmed. IL Is universally believed, how
ver, that the Cabinet win be- composed Of |
ues--nine in number.
