A PRETTY WoMAN.--The subjoined waif
we have discovered in an exchange, and trans
fer it to our repository for the purpose of graf
flying our numerous lady friends. 1t is a
beautiful specimen of byonerie. We desire
that they all appropriate to themselves, and
regard it as their rightful property. But we
would gently caution them not to "put on
airs" on account of it:
"a pretty woman is one Of the ''institu-
tons" of the country--an- angel in dry goods
and glory. She makes sunshine, blue sky,
fourth of July, and happiness wherever she
goes. Her path is one Of delicious roses, per-
tume and beauty. She is sweet poem writ
ten in rare curls and choice calico, and good
principles. Men stand up before her as so
many admiration points, to melt into cream
and then butter. Her words float round the
ear like music birds of Paradise, or the chin
cs of Sabbath bells. Without her society
would lose its truest attraction, the church
its firmest reliance, and young men the very
best of comforts and company. Her influence
and generosity restrain the. vicious, strength
en- the weak raise the lowly, ilannelshirt the
heathen, and strengthen the weak-hearted.
Wherever You find the virtuous woman, YOU
also find pleasant fircside bouquets, clean
cloths, order, good living, gentle hearts, mu-
sic, light and model constitutions" generally
She is the flower of humanity, very Venus
in divinity, and her inspiration is the the
breath of Heaven

A LADY WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE BAT
TIE OF SARAToGA.-Mrs. Margaret Martin,
who is at present stopping at the residence of
her grandson in this city, is ninety-eight years
of age. She,is one of the few remarkable wo-
men of the revolution who took part in the
memorable occurrences of the struggle for
American Independence. Her husbund Gil
bert Martin, was a sergeant in the army of
Gates, and was engaged in the battle at Sar-
atoga. Mrs. Martin, whowas then a very
young woman, was on the field during both
struggles constituting this battle, which ter
minated in the defeat of the splendid army
which Burgoyne had transported with such
immense labor and expense from Canada
confidently anticipating that he would be
able with it to divide the army of the patriots,
and secure Sir Henry Clinton in the posses
sion of the southern line OF dGfenscs.
Mrs. Martin represents the struggle as most
terrific She says towards evening, when all
his splendid schemes were about to be defeat
ed, directed his whole reserve and cavalry
force upon the feeble army of patriots; the
Of each other, and pouring in their deadly
~leys, while whole files on either side fell
in their tracks, and still neither gave one
inch.
Toward evening, Mr. Martin was wounded
in the shoulder, and while his wife was in the
act of aflixing bandage, she herself was
wounded in the hand. She says, "Gilhert
sprang up like a chafed lion. Peggy, said
he, ''l'll 90 and teach those cowardly dogs
better manners than to shoot at woman, =
and saw him no more till the fight was
over.
OF such material were the men and women
of the Revolution.
We can readily imagine that the field of
Saratoga was strange place for those of the
''softer sex" Mrs. Martin, however, has
evidently been n woman of uncommon cner-
gy of character. Her frame still exhibits of
strength, and her eye sparklcs as she rccounts
the deeds of that glorious day or speaks of
''that coward Gates, who stayed safe and
sound all day in his tent, and cared not for
tho men who were falling like sheaves in the
harvest"
One by one, the survivors and landmarks
of tho Revolution are fading away.

A SrRoNG SroRy.-A wild friend of ours
(Selma Tom,) who told us the other day the
following tough story
Tom says he got acquainted with very
companionablc fellow from one of the mount
ain counties, who happened to be in Selma
on business. This was in August last
Mountain Sprout was member ofthe church
but long way from home, and having never
experienced iced cocktail before, he ''took as
much he could wag with"--Tom aiding and
abetting. In due time Sprout went home,
but rumors of his potations followed him, and
the church brought him "to taw' for drunk
enness Sprout, on trial, admitted that he
had, while in Selma, got little "foxy,' but
then he told his bretheren the ebig humps Of
ice they had at the bar were so very inviting,
he couldn't help drinking"
Thereupon an old brother got up and said,
that for his part, if the young brother had on
ly got drunk under the circumstances Of be-
ing away from home and falling into bad COM
pany, he should have been in favor Of forgiv-
ing him, on his making proper acknowledge
ments. "But brctheren," he wound up, ''sthis
matter is worse than drinking It's down
right lyingl Did you hear what brother
Sprout said about ice, and in August I'm
for jerking him out for lyingw And out he
vent Montgomery (Ala) Mail.

those stout hearts and strong arms, who were
now ready to emigratc to Kansas and battle
for Southern rights.
Hon. Alfred Ivcrson then arose and address
ed few remarks to the Society.
The policy of the North said he, was to
surround the South with Gordon cf free Sta
tes, and, by confnjng slavery to a limited
area, tocfush it out. In this point of view,
the maintenance of slavery in Kansas was a
matter Vt vital interest to the South. If sla-
very gives way in Kansas, Missouri will be
surrounded on three sides by -Slavehol-
ding States, and the institution must give way
there. 1t will, also, be in peril i'll the In
dian territory lying south of Kansas. 1t will
then only remain for the Abolitionists to ex-
tend their influence to Western Texas. and
the great object of their ambition will be at
taiued. The South will then be rednced to a
hopeless minority in the Union, her institu-
tions will be confined to the narrow limits
they at present occupy, and their overthrow
will only be a question Of time.
sQn the other hand, no contended, that if
slavery were maintained in Kansas, it would
be also maintained IN Missouri; it might pos
sibly be extended to Utah, New Mexico and
Southern California; it would certainly be
protected in the Indian territory and Texas
and when the Northern provinces are annex
cd to the United States, as they certainly
will be, in the course of time, the field for
the extension Of Southern Institutions will be
indefinitely enlarged. ~
Upon proposition of John A. Jones, Esq,
to be one of ten to subscribe $3.50 each to
arm and equip company Of cmigrants to
Kansas, short discussion arose, participated
in by Mr. Jones, Judge Crawford and others
-as to the best and most expedcnt method
of raising funds for the use of the society,"
Judge Crawford suggested that every man
should subscribe one dollar for each slave he
possessed; that if every stakeholder in the
State would do so, fund Of not less than
four hundred thousand dollars could be raised
which could be increased at least to half
million of dollars by the subscriptions of 9TH
ers. If the other slaveholding States would
unite with us in this undertaking, and the
subscriptions be in accordance with this per
capita system or some similar method, we
might, in tho fifteen slaveholding States,
raise fund equal to that which may be raised
by the Emgrant Aid societies Of the New
England States. Give Southern emigrants
four millions Of dollars, in addition to the
inducements to and the bright prospects, of
slave labor in Kansas and ere long She will
be seeking admission into the Union as
Slave State.
