We observe q controversy between the
Richmond Examiner, and the New Or
leans Delta, growing out of some sugges-
lions a by the Delta, relative to the
policy of Virginia in the event of a practi-
cal enforcement of the colonization scheme
Swallowed forth in the project of Eli Thay-
CT. The Examiner ridiculed the oppre.
tensions of the Delta, and repelled the in
situation that we have anything to fear
from Abolition Emigrant Societies, of
which q late number of the Delta responds
"The extreme Southern States have
their eyes upon Maryland, Virginia, Ken

1AuRENsyILLE HERALD.

The Junior editor of this able paper-if We mis-
take not his "earmark" been rambling about
in the country in search of strange adventures and
among others, stumbled on an encampment Of
Gypsies. We were under the impression these
strange mythical beings were extinct, and we much
fear friend Ivy has been imposed upon by set
of rascally counterfeits, who wish to hide their
yacabondsm under name around which poetry
and romance have cast weird-like attraction
Our friend of the Herald seems somewhat susp
cious too. Among other noticeable virtues, he
discovered that any one who wished the "disdd'
rantags" in a horse trade had better give them n
trial 1t appears, however, that the Gypsies
threw such glamour over him that he was per-
suaded toilet them 'cast the horoscope ofhis des-
TIMES and read his Misfortune by looking into
his hands," 1t is our private opinion that the
best way to read an editors misfortune is to look
over the list of non-paying subscribers, or at his
empty pocket book We should like, LlvY, that
you would consult them, if they are really lire
Gypsies, about the destinies of those who forget
to pay the printer. Ask them also about the Com
ct, as We met an old negro the other day, who
wanted to know if it was true that the world was
coming to an end as the paper stated We quiet

the world was round, it could have no end, and
consequently the Comet couldn't come.it; but no
doubt the Gypses could unravel the mystery and
quiet the conscience of those who wish to live on
in their meanness as long as possible. Can't you
send them over?

DEATH OF HON. A. p. BUTLER.

This honest statesman and high-souled patriot
is no more. He died at his residence near Edge
field C. H. on Monday evening" the 25th instant
We will not attempt an eulogy on his name. The
universal love which his State manifested towards
him, the knowledge that that love was never be-
traved. and the general voice of lamentation over
his fall, is the most eloquent panegyric to which
a patriotic statesman could aspire. He will live
fresh in the memory of his countrymen, and on
the pages of history as the representivc man of
his native State. In social life, none knew him
but to love him, and in his political career, none
ever doubted the purity of his motives nor failed
to admire his chivarous devotion to the interests
of Carolina.
He has fallen with his honors thick around him,
and he now sleeps in the bosom of his native
State, whose soil covers the remains of the gifted
McDurFIE, the eloquent HAYSE, the immortal
CALHOUN and the gallant Brooks. But no one in
this list was more completely the embodiment Of
Caroina chivalry, of that disinterested devotion
which she expects from her statesmen, of that
open-handed and high minded independence of ac-
ton, which stoops to no base intrgues, nor COM
promises her dignity with cliques and parties,
than ANDREW PIcKENs BUTLER. The Washington
Erening Star thus speaks of his death and the es.
timation in which he was held at Washington.
.The telegraph announced to us this morning
the death of the Hon. a. P. BUTLEn, United States
Senator from South Carolina. yesterday, Mt his
home, surrounded by his family and friends. Ont
side of his family circle, none will feel this be-
reavement more keenly than the people of Wash
ington City, to MI of whom he was as well known,
and by nil of whom he was as nrdently beloved MS
any of the Capitals permanent residents. Ills
heart was ever in his hand High and low, rich
and poor, white and black-for all-he always had
kind word in store, and in familiar intercourse
with those around him here, his impulsive and
generous nature never failed to run into the mood
of oyerhowing kindness of heart. He was, in sea-
son and out of season, without the slightest re-
gard to politics, the ardent friend Of all who de-
served the friendship of n gentleman of his re-
markable mind, attainments and Character
There was less seliishness in his nature than in
that of almost any other man ever ia public life.
Hence, in n measure, his so great personal popu.
larty here. So far as the material interests OF
Washington City are concerned, NJ well as the
influence Of his bright genius, cxtelslre learning
and highly cultivated social qualities upon socic.
ty in the Federal metropolis, the vacuum created
by his death cannot be filled from his own or
any other Stnte, in our day and generation.
On the first page will be found brief sketch
of his life from the Carolmian.

YoRKvILLE FEMALE COLLEGE

This institution is now in hourishing condition.
Its pecuniary prospects are Frightening and it
will soon be free of all membranes in the way
of debts. The present year has been remarkably
healthy, and the bright eyes and rosy cheeks of
the fair students attest the bracing influence Of
our atmosphere. Out of considerably over hun
dred young ladies in constant attendance during
the present session, no one we believe, has been
compelled to leave on account of failure in
health-a certain proof of the healthiness of the
locality as we'll as of the care and paternal watch
fulness exercised by those with whom the young
ladies board. But while this is the case, none of

AN ORIGINAL STORY.

We have just received from our talented contrib
utor, Mrs. NJ. W. STRArToN, an admirably written
story entitled "Gentlity." 1t is well.Atted to
spoint moral,'' and the many admirers of her
poetry will not fail to read this elegant prose pro-
duction There can be no doubt of one fact; that
the novel can be made the most effective medium
for the inculcaton of sound moral and social phi

normal end is to be regretted. But we promise
our readers amusement and information without
the usual sentmentalism of newspaper stories, in
