The good old long-leaf Pine, my boys, Tie good old long-leaf Pine Novel Qualification fob I Surgeon. Mr. Lock- hart tells an anecdote whicnwas a favorite one with Sir Walter Scott When the Great Unknown was at one time traveling in Northumberland, his servant was taken 11, and the village surgeon sent for. When. this worthy made his appearance, he was at once racognized as a quondam horse, doctor at Melrose virhpse sole qualifications to cure the ills hu- man flesh' is heir to, consisted in his having crossed the Border, When rated by Sir Walter for his pre- sumption, he confessed he had killed, good many-' of his biped patients, but added, with a which must have won the heart of any Scotchman, more especially so national a man as Scoti, "aye, 6ir, but it'll be lang before it makes, up for Flodden." We have been reniinded of this anecdote by an occurrence which took place the other day in a parish not far 7 distant from Dumfries.

A medical man was f. in to see a young girl" suffering from diseased land as is too often necessary, he, had to inform the "mother 1 that his advico ought to have been previously obtan-edij' Ay," said the dame, but we have had advice, we sent for ye'll may be ken him, he works at the quarris, an? he bled the "And pray," interpos8ed the surprised 'physician, what qnalifi- cations does this quarryraan possess the ready answerhe drove -'s carriage for two years, an" I thought he wad a heard him talk skeelily." i The effeci of the Electoral Law, which the majority in the French chambers' are endeavoring to jmS8t: would be to deprive, neatly millions or citizen of the right to vote. v.iF"rd. DenglASf i The York Globed under the head of A unblush-! ing impudence and merited gives the following account of what happened on Friday last, in Broadway Ficed. the impudent negro who has of late taken upon himself the privilege of abusing our country, its patriots and.

Constitution, without having that chastisement which he so richly merited at the hands of our republicans, who would condescend to notice his blasphemy and negroism, had the audacity yesterday' to walk down. Broadway, the principal promenade in our city, with two white females resting his arms." Several citizens, who had noticed this disgraceful scche, Followed the impudent scamp to the? battery. On observing that he was watched, the negro commenced laughing and sneering at the gentlemen, who were behind him." One of them could not withstand the provoked and justifiable temptation to award to the negro that punishment which his daring rascality had subjected him to. The gentleman stepped up to him and politely requested the females to leave their, ebony companion arid place themselves under the protection of a gentleman near by. r- The women very quietly did as they were desired to and then the indignant and insulted gentleman' administered to the back, of the negro a dressing" that he will have occasion to remember some time hence.

Maddened justice forgets the dictates of law in a case of this kind and personally, we can see no reason why it should not." We feel much obliged to the indignant gentleman'' who administered the punishment; but what a commentary does the proceeding furnish upon the conduct of the Northern people towards the slave 1 They denounce slavery, assist fugitives to escape, and spend much breath and but little money for the amelioration of the black race and yet when they see a colored acting upon the, principles of equality for which they contend, and escorting one of their own kith and kin" through the streets, i4 i ''j vji yv From the O. Delta, i -Vs' Cuba and tJhie Cvban.1 Such is the title of an octavo volume' which, has recently Jeen issued from the. press. From the present attitude of that island, and the statistical and other information it contains, it is attracting much attention. A few statistical facts, extracted from it, will be acceptable to our readers The population of Cuba, in 1841, was about nearly equally divided between the blacks arid the whites.

Since then, it is'said that the population has actually decreased near 100,000, confined mostly to the blacks, -r--l Its area is about 55,000 square miles taking into the estimate the adjacent islands or keys which belong to it, it is 64,000 square miles, and above acres of the richest and best land in the world. Its products of everything almost that grows upon the continent, proper, of America, and in addition to every variety of tropical plant and fruit indigenous to the Western world, to say nothing of exotics. Copper mines are being worked there to great advantage only a few months ago a rich mine of lead, with silver, was discovered which promises to be very and deposits of native gold have been discovered in the banks of the rivers in the Western portion of the Island. Coal is found in the neighborhood of Havana Immense deposits of salt arc found on all the, coasts of the Island, which would open a profitable fountain to labor and industry, but for the exhorbitant duties imposed by the government 2 50 for every two hundred pounds. There is also abundance of sulphur, loadstone, granite clay, flint, crystal and marble this latter is.

one of the principal branches pf wealth in the Isle of Pines, where quarries have been worked, with great success." Exquisite fish abound on all the coasts, rivers and streams, and innumerable varieties of wild fowl are to be found in the woods and lakes. As to the products and wealth of this Island) they can be judged, by hes immense trade, which is estimated at and the enormous taxes which are yearly extorted from her inhabitants, amounting to near $25,000,000, about $20,000,000 of which goes into the treasury of the mother country thus showing that they are the most enormously taxed people on the face of the earth. To an American, it is wonderful that they should have so long endured it in silence. For its fine climate, it is proverbial. The mean temperature at Havana for the year, (Fahrenheit) U.

The white and free colored inhabitants were represented at 571,127. The number of schools was 222, and 9,082 children were instructed in them and this out of tbenumber Our Village was thrown into great excitement on Friday last by the announcement that a horrible murder had been, perpetrated-in its immediate neighborhood, i An investigation immediately took place, and it was found that a Mrs. Rhoda Etherton, a poor widow, who lived alone, about four miles across.

Catfish Swamp, had been inhumanly The wound, which was inflicted(with an axe found in the yard, was directly over the left eye, fracturing the skull, and causing instant, death. A small trunk was carried off, a larger one was found broken open in the yard. A track, apparently that of a negro, was found under the trunk The perpetrator of the deed is'still at large. Suspicion, has been fixe.d upon a negro fellow belonging to" a gentleman in an adjoining District, but in the absenee of stronger evidence than we have yet seen or heardf we refrain from giving the names of either master or servant This is the first time in the history of our District thai such an event has occurred. What object could have influenced the murderer it.

is difficult to divine. It could not have been plunder, for she certainly had nothing which could have and inducement. Nor could it have been revenge, for injuries for she was a mild inoffensive being, who disturbed or meddled with no one. Marion Star. Buried Alive.

The St. Louis Uni.on, of the '7th publishes the following "story, on the authority of Mr. Straling, sextori of St. Vincent Burial Ground, in that city-: i On Friday last, a funeral train arrived the gtave-yard, bearing with, them for buriaj tlie corpse of a German, who was supposed to. havtej died from the effect of laudanum.

It appears the man had been upwell and laboring under great pain. To ease this, his brother procured a phial of laudanum, a part of which was administered to the afflicted man, and the. phial and remainder put away. After having slept some time, nd while the rest of the family were a-sleep, the awoke, hunted up the laudanum, and drank the whole of it, which so nearly deprived him of life that his relatives concluded he was dead. He was taken to the above grave-yard for burial, the grave dug, the coffin lowered into it, the grave partially filled, the mourners started for their houses, and the Sexton left his son to complete the filling- of the grave, while he went to attend to.

another, different part of the yard. The son had "been engaged but a short time in throwing dirt into- the when he heard a noise resembling heavy i breathingY which appeared to proceed from the coffin, he was burying. The boy called his father, who quickly unearthed the coffin, opened and found tfyat the man had turned his head so as partially to lay on the front of his face, and the body was warm. He procured vinegar, and made great exertion to restore the poor man by friction, but his effort came too late, the man was dead" ElarlyIay of Mapoleow. -Thiers, in his History pf the Consulate, "relates some very strange and previously unknown particulars respecting the early life' and penury of Napoleon Bonaparte.

The Committee did not dispose of this bill. The bill making appropriation for the completion of the public buildings ia Oregon and Minesofa, was the only one which finally passed.

Some of the Mexican ladies followed their false lov-t ers to Vera Cruz, expecting to be taken to the United States, and others have pursued even across the Gulf the men who never retreated war, but who faithlessly deserted their colors in love.

The Courier says I jj -r "We have recently i heard two instances of this' tjnaracter. i ne-one was that ot the daughter ot a Mexican merchant, who followed her American lover an officer, in the army to his home in the South and finding that he was on duty in California, she" sent a relative after him to that distant region, with a complaint that he had been guilty of, a' breach of rr-i i promise, i ne no omerjvay oi escape, was compelled td settle the affair bythe payment of several thousand, dollars which he could well afford to do. The other instance wasthat ofa friend in New England, who became attached, after a fashion, to a Spanish girl in the city of jdexico. Since his return, a Mexican gentleman has unexpectedly paid him a visit for the purpose of haying a better understanding or settlement of the matter. Our friend, having sometime since thrown aside his character as an officer in the army, had gone to and the Mexican plenipotentiary, upon learning the fact, started off in pursuit of hint by the Very next It chanced, however, that "our military friend was already on his return home, and passed his pur- ouc( uil 1110 Avruvo.

Hams should always be soaked in water, previous to boiling, to draw out a portion "of the: salt, and to make theni tender. They will soften more easily if soaked in lukewarm water.

If a new ham, and not very salt or hard, you heed not put it in water5 till the evening before. you intend to cook it. An older one will require twenty-four hours1 soaking and one that is very old and hard should be kept in soak two ror three days freqnently.changing the water, which must be sott. boak. it in a tub, and keep it well covered.

WHen you take it out of Hie water to prepare it for boiling, scrape and trim it niceley, I and pare off all the bad Ipdking parts. Early in the. morning put it into a large pot or kettle with plenty of'cold water, place it over a slow fire that it may heatgradually it should not come to a boil in less i than' an hour and a half, or two hours. When it boilsj quicken the fire and skim the pot carefully. Thefi simmer itigently' four or five hours more, according l.to its size.

A ham weighing fifteen pounds should! simmer five hours after it has comc to a Keen the pot well skimmed. -1 When it is done, take it up, carefully strip off the skin, and reserve itl to cover the ham when it is rut awav cold. Rub the ham all over 'with some beaten egg, and Strew on it fine bread raspings sha ken through the lid 0t a dredging box. 1 hen place it in an oven to brown and crisp, or on a hot dish set over the pot before tie fire. Cut some fine writing parper into a handsome fringe, and twist it round the shank bone before you send the ham to table.

Garnish the edge of the dish with little piles or spots of rasped crust of bread. In carving a ham, begin not quite in the centre, but a little nearer to the hock. Cut tbe slices very thin. It is not only a lmost ungenteel practice to cut ham in thick slices, but, it much impairs the na vor. I.1;"- When you put.

Savannah Riijtpblican. The Deficit.

When Mr. Secretary Meredith -so authoritatively "proclaimed a deficit in the revenue of sixteen millions of dollars, he ascribed the disastrous result to the Mexican war. If he had' assured the people that it was the -work of the Galphin plunderers, he would have hit the nail upon the -head, and have commanded the universal assent of the people to the truth of the statement. When the people learn the fact that about one million of dollar's have "been paid out of the treasury by the present Galphin cabinet in the first year of their reign, on fraudulent and unfounded claims, rejected by former administrations, and that a principle, with regard to the allowance of such claims, has been adopted which will lead to the payment of more than forty millions of dollars, without additional appropriations by Congress, they will know how 'the deficit has really been created, and why Mr. Meredith estimates it at sixteen millions of dollars.

'Surely the Galphin cabinet is as illustrious for its fiscal ability as its members are skilful in the art of feathering their own nests. -What cabinet minister ever before pocketed $115,000 as agent of claims; nearly all of which he received while holding his place in the cabinet The people the hard-working farmers and mechanics of the country will ponder upon these facts and they will, as surely as day follows day, hold these treasury plunderers to their accountability.

We now contemplate a branch Railroad with the Central route in this State, to tap it somewhere in Orange or Alamance. To, do this we shall only have some 24 or 28 miles of Road to build.

The experimental Plank Koad, or the Horse Preserver," has been commenced in the upper part of our town, This is the right kind of an argument -worth a dozen pages of figures, and a folio of words. We hope, instead of stopping within a mile of the commencement, its terminus will be somewhere in North We had a conversa tion the other day with an intelligent North Caroli nian on the necessity of a Plank Road.

He gave it as his opinion that the Railroad about to be Construc ted trom Charlotte to the Wilmington Road, would, in connection with the Charlotte and Columbia Rail road, take any amount of trade from Camden and that our only chance ot preservation (and a sure one, too) would be a Plank Road. It is to be hoped that, Camden will not be so inactive as to let the rich trade of these sections of the country escape her. One word more, relative to the plan of building. We conceive the best possible plan to make a Plank Road on is to lay the plank as usual, crosswise, a certain number ot teet in length, to be within the distance that the wheels are apart then to lay one or two planks where the wheels run, lengthwise which would certainly make the road smoother, and make it last longer. But let us have a Plank Road at aU events.

CamdeA Journal: Advantages, of Free Trade. In 1846 the Navi gation laws were in In 1850 they are not What has? been the effect of their repeal upon the shipping trade of the United Kingdom, as exhibited by the official returns 1 We will refer in the first instance, to the clearances outwards as the best test of the activity of the shipping interest. Comparing, then, the first two months of 1845 with those of 1850, we find that the amount of tonnage cleared outwards in 1850 has been more than in 1845 by 144,000 tons in other words, it has increased by more than 50 per cent, or from 319,000 tons in 1845, to 403.000 tons in 1850. -number of ships has increased from 1,528 to 1,951. And it must be re mcmbered that these are all British vessels.

i li we mciuae vessels witn liritisn, the re sult is almost equally remarkable. Between 1845 and 1850 the total amount of outward tonnage has increased from 467,000 tons to 688,000 tons, or 43 percent. This shows, in the plainest of all forms, that of the enormous increase of tonnage which has taken place between 1845 and 1850, the largest share has fallen jnto the hands of British owners, in spite of all the prophecies and demonstrations of an- proaching ruin with which we have been startled for the last two years.

When France became a republic after the revo lution of 1848, says one of our exchanges, discerning men, forming judgment not from names, but from the nature of things, ventured to predict fruin and not prosperity, as the result of the change which was then hailed by nearly all in this country as a glorious revolution.

Ihey who thus prophesied believed that an extensive republic coula not be sup- Eorted by infidels, or socialists unenlightened apists-. They regarded the principles and precepts of the Bible, engraven on the consciences' and the hearts of the people, as the only durable foundation of free-political institutions, and with much, instinct and foresight. Two years have elapsed, and what do we see 1 Is there any stability or prospect, of stability in French republicanism Let a good test, the price of stocks, answer. Ihe wise men of France feel that it is not safe to invest their money in French stocks or in any property liable to be affected by French legislation. Mr Walsh, in a recent letter from Paris, says the beginning ot the year, the American Consul here has given audience six days of the, week, fronrnopn until 4 o'clock; to a multitude of persons in quest of information about CaKforna and to others about the prices1 and choice of American stocks.

The latter includes the- highest names of the old aristocracy and the statesmen of the last twenty years. 'Their anxiety to place a part of their means beyond the spere of French destinies is evi dence of the precanousness of rench political and social It indicates, at the some time, iheir confidence in American stability."

The head, of impressive and majestic dig nity, is erect, and the right hand points with impo sing significance to the inscription, which is held a-loft so as to be nearly upon a level with the head. The impressions received by several critics, tof the finest capacities, from an inspection of this representation of Mr, Powers' statue, is such, that they unhesitatingly pronounce it one of his chief triumphs, and "a demonstration of his ability to excel much in the statue as in the bust his absolute supremacy in which has already been acknowledged by all the world.
