SELL YOUR OLD CoIN-The director Of the u.
States Mint, at Philadelphia, has made report in
which he states that he receives the silver OF othe
countries at the following prices, payable in Anne
rican COIN
A Five France piece is worth 1922; dollar
Of Central A america Lisa dollar of Bolivia, %
II dollar OF Mexico, l,22-Spanish pillar dollar
L, 20.
These who have coin of this description should
send it to The mint Immediately, and get about
one fifth more money. 1t is suggested that the
merchants going east after spring goods would be
good opportunity To make an exchange.

correspondent OF the Dispatch, says: DIR.
Smith, living on James River had three thousand
cords Of wood piled up ready for market, the whole
which was destroyed. His loss, alone, is near
$4,000.
lis supposed that the loss of property IN Ches'
terfeId will not fall short Of 500, 900, while the
damage to the soil and growing timber cannot be
calculated. An old lady and her daughter, living
near Dudeys Depot, on the Wilmington IN. c.

OF the flames towards their dwelling, were sur
rounded by the fire, and becoming confused, were
burned to death before any asssla nee could be
rendered. We could not ascertain their names.

GREAT DEsTITUTIoN IN FLoYD.-We learn
from the Rome (Ga.) Souherner that there is
great desritution among the poor of that county.
Many families, in the most INDECENT circumstances,
are living the generous but meagre charities OF
neghbors almost as needy themselves. The
partial failures of grain crops for year or two,
the increase Of the prices of provisions, and the
stoppage of many grist mills, are noted among
the causes. The Southerner calls meeting at
Rome On Tuesday next TO take the subject in con-
sideration.

PREJUDICE.-All men are apt to have high
conceit of their own understanding, and to be
tenacious OF the opinions they profess and yet
all men are guided by the understandings Of others,
not by their own; and may be said more truly 10
adopt than to beget their opinions Nurses, par.
ents, pedagogues and after them all and above
them al, that universal pedagogue custom, fill the
mind with notions which it has no share in
framing-which it receives as passively as it re-
ceives the. impressions of outward objects-and
which, left 10 ITSELF il would never have framed,
perhaps, would have examined Afterwards
Thus prcjudices established by education, and
habits by custom. We taught to think what
others think, not how to think for ourselves; and
whilst The memory is loaded the understanding
remains unexercised, in such trammels AS con.
strain It's motions and direct is pace till that
which was artificial becomes in some sort natural.
and the mind can 60 no other 1t may sound
oddly but il is true in many cases, TO say that if
men had learned less, their way to knowledge
would be shorter and easier. II is indeed shorter
and easier to proceed from ignorance TO knowledge
than from error. They who are IN the last, must
unIearn before they can learn TO any good pur-
pose and the first part Of this double task is not
in many respects, The least difficult, Tor which
reason it is seldom undertaken.

The modest maiden, the prudent wife or Tho
careful matron, are much more serviceabIe in lie
than pettcoated philosophers, clustering heroines,
or virago queens. She who makes her husband
happy, and reclaims him from vice, is mucn
greater character than ladies described in romance
whose whole occupation is to murder mankind
with shafts from the culver Of their eyes.

George Washington wrote the following letter
some time after The constitution was made, and
addressed it to the {" General Committee of the
United Rabtist Churches In Virginia: -

OF any ecclesiastical society, certainly qcouM

could not conceive the general government might
ever be so administered to render the liberty

that one would be more Jealous than myself
to establish efcctua barriers against the horrors
of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious

FAMINE IN NORTH GEoRGIA.-A correspondent
of the Dalton Times draws distressing picture
of the starving condition of the poor in that region.
More than one. half Of The people are without corn
and money. The cry ''corn, corn, corn-do
you know Of any corn for sale p The answer is,
Il have travelled twenty miles around every way,
and can hear Of not bushel to be had, for love,
charity or money. The poor man offers to work
day for peck of to feed his wife and
children on. He is turned off with an answer,
MY own family will have 10 suffer if sell my
corn" Horses and mules are turned out to perish,
or live in the woods best they can ; and hus-
banC!men that have farms and no corn will not be
able to cultivate more land than they tend with
the hoe. The writer concludes by arguing the
propriety Of appealing to the Governors OF Ten
nessee and Georgia for aid.-Souh Ca' Gilman.
