PRICE ONE CENT,

fact with great irreverence, of sthe damaged
nose Of Borland." The Herald should not
treat with disrespect 80 important member
of the human body; above all, the nose of
an ambassador. It is with the nose that man
snuffs up insults In the breeze, and, with
a contemptuous curl thereof, expresses
scorn and contempt of his enemies. 1t ia a
promontory of honor, and he who would at
tack the very citadel of human pride may do
SO as etfectually by pull of the proboscis as
by fire in the rear. We find the great DIS
raeii employing both methods, when he wish
es to thoroughly humiIiate an adversary
"lt is not" said he, my passion for notorie
ty that has induced me to tweak the editor
OF the Globe by the nose, and infiict sundry
kicks on the baser part of his base body, but
because wished to show to the world what
miserable poltrOon, &C., is this soi-disant d.
rector of public opinion
If the nose of common man is a sensitive
and sacred thing, much more to be reveren.
ced is Yankee nose, which not only per-
aforms the duties. of ordinary noses, but as
slsts the tongue in conversation, and leads
the worship on Sundays 4 Above all, the nose
OF yankee ambassador should have been
hailowed object. 1t was the representa-
tive noseof the United States. Toassail that
organ, was in effect taking this country by
the nose. When that bell handle was pulled
the whole United States were aroused.
The nose of Borland, the citizen, might
have been tweaked to all eternity, without
exciting any emotion except in his own nos
trils, but when dust is thrown in the nose of
Borland the Plenipotentiary, all yankeedom
sneezes. Great effects arise from little eau
ses. The damaged proboscis of Borland may
lead to destructive war, which may prove
fatal blow to British power. It would seem
righteous retribution, if Great Britain,
which has been so prone to ridicule Bro.
ther Jonathan's nasal peculiarities, should at
last shipwreck her empire upon yankee
nose.
CRY CoURTEsY.-We suppose that no.
where else in the civilized world could "hun-
dreds'' of gentlemen be guilty of such
gross insults to a woman as the New York
Eapress describes in the article we copied
on Thursday, relative to Crisis first concert
in New York. In what theatre of London,
of Paris, of St. Petersburgh, would hundreds
of men assail quiet and inoffensive female,
no matter how eccentric or even depraved,
with disgusting ribsldryl Certainly in none
of the ''huts and hamlets'' of the land of
slavery, Ito which the Express had occasion
to refer of late,) could such q scene by any
posi- bility occur. The Old Dominion is al.
together too "rustic" and green for such
polished and humane exhibitions.
negro woman and four children were taken
away from the white man who had them in charge
at Allegheny, Pa, on Monday last, and put by the
mob, ''in place of safety" The young man who
had them in custody, on returning to the room at
the hotel where he had left them eating their dinner
found them absent. He informed the people that
bis name was Wm Horner formerly of Warning
ton, Farquar county, Va, but now Of Wisconsin
that the slaves were formerly owned by his aunt,
Mrs. Jeanette Henderson, who bad bequeathcd
Homer had mauumi,ted ther aha &H2rrnef rst me- snas a.
king them to Wisconsin, where their free papers
would be delivered to them. Mr.. HOrner left 10 tho
afternoon train, leaving the woman and children
with their protectors.
t"Warrington, Farquar county" probably means
Warrenton, FaaQuier county.
A MAN HANGING HIS OWN Son The following,
from the Rowan IN. CO. Wing, is description OF
one of the most brutal deeds on record:
We learn that in Cabarrus county last week,
man by the name of Holbrooks, hung his own son
So far we could learn, the circumstances attend
ing the brutal deed, are as follows: Hobrooks had
sent his son off to some neighbors house, we sup.
pose, to procure something to eat, and returned
without 1t. Holbrooks then sent him back, and
threatened that If he returned again without Ii he
would hang him. The boy returned again as be-
FORE whereupon his father took him out to a tree
and hanged him. Holbrooks fled. we understand,
but has been apprehended and will stand his trial
at the next November Court.
MOBILE continues healthy. There were only 10
interments during the week ending the I'd inst.
CHARLEsroN-There were FIVE deaths from yel-
low fever In Charleston during the "a hours ending
at 10 o'clock last Tuesday night
sALs.-Janney's hotel, in Columbia. g. c., has
been sold to w. s. Goodwin for $4,000.
New PRoJEcr.-There 10 project on foot to build
