An IRoN SHIP At New oRLEANs.-An iron ship
called the Evangeline. has arrived at New Orleans
from Liverpool. Her entire hull, with the ex-
ception of the deck pIanking and some ceilings,
says the Picayune, is of iron. The ship timEers,
as well as the sheathing, are entirely iron. The
knee timbers all of iron, not thicker than
thumb, and SO narrow and graceful as to look
noEe like ornaments than the solid substances they
are 10 so immense fabric. The lower deck has,
in consequence, vast increase of light and space
which is difficult to appreciate without seeing it.
The main and foremasts are also of iron up 10 the
cross trees; the topmasts. &C., being wood
These masts are hollow, and so spacious that
man can pass up in the inside. They are used
as TentIlators for keeping the air bel5w fresh and
pure. The water tanks of the ship are also of
iron, and are situated in the keelson. They are
capable ofholding three thousand gallons, and are
divided into three separate ar-ight compartments,
each of which is communicated with by sepa-
rate pump. The Whole arrangement is unique,
and the economy of space for burden is very great
The ship measures 1000 tons, and costs $780,.

For the Wheeling 1ntellirsucer

Mr.. EDIToR:-There is no pleasure so great
at least TO those who love s'the education of the
mind" as the exhibitions and examinations in our
Common Schools and Female Semnaries
was present. on Thursday evening, at an ex-
hibition given by the pupils of the Wheeling Fe-
male Seminary, in the presence ola very large and
excellent audience.
Through the day, the examination of the pupils
conducted with the utmost skill and ability
And the proficiency manifested by every pupil
present, calculated to reflect the highest credit
upon the very able Principal the establishment,
and her most efficient corps Of assistants. The
pupils manifested throughout the entire examina-
ton, the most acute intelligence and knowledge
of the various branches they had been SO we'll and
ably taught.
But return to the Concert of the evening"
The Hall was beautifully lighted-the walls hung
with lovely paintings, festooned with garlands of
pine and fowers-the pillars tastefulY entwned
with pine wreathed with graceful folds. In short,
the arrangements were of the most elegant dis
cuption.
The various songs sung, and the music perform
ed were such would reflect honor upon older
and more experienced performers, and the young
ladies performing, acquitted themselves with true
spirit and dignity.
The music dlscourSed by Messrs Fickeson,
Weidrick and Ritter, was pleasant and delightful
in the highest degree. In ine.NIr. Editor, the whole
affair went off with the very best OF eclat; and
those who were present will long remember, with
feelings of profound pleasure, the Concert given
by the young ladies' of the Wheeling Female Sem.

The National Intelligencer commenting on the
evident disposition exhibited in some public jour
mails, and by some public men, to stir up unfriend-
ly feelings between the United States and other
countries, says:-'So far from acting with the calm
confidence in themselves and disposition to con-
cede all proper respect and liberty to other coun-
tries, which would become citizens of proud and
powerful nation, many narrow-minded persons,
with conceited boastfulness, which is as distant
from true courage and patriotism as from good
morals and good breeding. labor to engender un-
friendly and hostile feelings, and even open rup-
tnre, between nations whose interests, advance
ment and happiness depend on peace, and who
would not have dreamed of any insult or slight to
their country but for the idle suggestions of igno-
1ant prejudiced monomanacs who aim 10 be

they who lash themselves into patriotic fervoro

how much he had been wronged until he heard

"old Kentuok y

a Kentuckian at the battle of New Orleans,
Notwithstanding the restraint of soldiers life, when
his name is upon the muster roll, preferred going
it alone fighting upon his own hook. While the
battle raging fercest, and the shot was flying
thick as hail, carrying death wherever they fell.
'kentuck might have been seen stationed under
tall maple, loading and firing his rifle as perfect
ly unconcerned as though he was 'pickin deer.'--
Every time he brought his rifle 10 his shoulder red
coat bit the dust. At last he happened TO attract
the attention of "Old Hickory" who supposed he
had become separated from his company, and rode
up to him to bring him behind the redoubts, as
he was in position that exposed his person to
the enemy. =.us=-s-
"Hallo! my man what regiment do you belong
tot" said the general.
"Regiment ch-llr' answered kentuck, "hold
on, yenders one of emf and bringing his shoot
ing iron to his shoulder, he ran his eye along the
barrel--a flash followed; another Englishman
came tumbling 10 the ground.
"W hose company do you belong too" again en-
quired the general. -......a.

tuck, as he busted himself reloading, see that ar
Teller with the gold fxins on the coat and hoss?-

The General gazed in the direction indicated by
his rifle, and observed British Colonel riding up
and down the advancing columns of the foe. Ken
tuck pulled the trigger, and the gallant Briton
| followed lis companions that his Kentucky foe
had laid low in death that day.
'Hurrah for Old Kentucky"' shouted the free
fighter, as his victim came topping off his horse;
then turning to the General, he continued I'm

ly proceeded to reload.

The ToMB OF FRANkLlN.-A dilipidated dark

Arch streets, Philadelphia, marks Cor did few
years ago. the spot where rest the remains of Ben
jamin and Deborah franklin; but you cannot see
their grave nor read the inscription without scaling
high prick wall, in violation of the law, or Sc
curing good opportunity and the favor of the
sexton, each of which is said to be attended with
difficulty. So well hidden is this grave, and so
little frequented, that we have known many ma
tive Philadelphians, of mems and women's estate,
who could not direct one TO the locality where it
may be found. Yet Franklin was a man whose
equal is not the product of every century-a pa

philosopher whose name will live as long as
science shall endure; and the wife of his heart
was TO him more than the woman always proves

we might behold their quiet abode; and the choic-

AN UNREASONABLE SuERFr.-Some years ago
a sheriff in the northern part of Vermont held a
writ of execution against enc of his neighborS,
which, usual in ofthis sort with the debt
or in question. he had great deal of difficulty in
collecting, and indeed, was compelled at last to
resort to the mole Stringent provisions OF the law
The debtor though man of limited means was a
person of unlimited hopes and expectations, and
gave his parol of honor to the officer that he would
certainly pay the debt by certain day. The day
came, and SO did the sheriff. but no money. Again
and again day was fixed for payment of the ex-
ecution, but no advance wos made towards Iiqui-
dation.' AT last, as the execution had well nigh
run OUT the sheriff told the debtor that the debt
must be paid at once, OF he should proceed imme-
diately to advertise his personal chattels. The
debt was not large, but the sum was not an easy
one to raise on the spot, and the debtor begged Tor
a delay OF one day more. The sheriff was inexo-
rabie. Il give you my word of HONOR said the
debtor. 1T won't do said the sheriff. I'll
pledge you this Bible said the debtor, offering
large family Billie worth about the amount Of the
execution. Il don't want it, said the officer
well, them replied the debtor, Indignantly, .if
you won't take my word, nor the word of God,
orthe debt, you may go 10 the devil
