At eve when the moon in her pride. Rides queen of the soft summer night. And gleams on the murmuring tide, With Hoods of her silv-ry light,— Oh, earth has no beauty so rare. No place that Is dearer to me, Then give mc so free and so fair, A home by the deep heaving sea! MIgKLMNKOtIi, John C. Calhoun's Dream. A correspondent of the Mississippi Whig has cut from an anonymous pamphlet an account of a dream of Mr. Calhoun, about the time of the stormy sectional agitation which preceded the adoption of the Coin ! promise measures of 1850: Mr. Calhoun, it seems, was drawing up a plan for the dissolution of the Union, when, iate at night, being very much ex hausted, he fell asleep and had the follow ing dream, as related by himself: 4 At a late hour last night, as I was sit ting in my room writing, I was surprised at the very unceremonious entrance of a visitor, who cauic in and took a seat oppos ite me. ' I was more annoyed, as I had given strict orders to the servants that I should on no account be disturbed. ' The manner in which he entered—per fectly .self possessed—taking a seat oppos ite me—without a word, no salutation —no apology—as though my room and all with in belonged to him, excited in me as much surprise as indignation. As I raised my head to i'ook at hint over the top of mv shaded lamp, I discovered he was wrapped in a thin cloak, which completely hiu his features from my view ; and, as I raised my head, he spoke : 4 What are you writing, Senator from South Carolina?' I did not think of his impertinence at first, hut answered him in voluntarily—' lam drawing up a plan for the dissolution of the American Union !' To this the intruder replied in the coldest manner possible: 4 Senator from South Carolina, will you allow me to look at your right hand ?' 4 He arose, and as he did so the cloak fell, and I beheld— GßEAT GOD ! GENTLE MEN ! I BEHELD THE FORM OF GEORGE WASHINGTON ! 4 As though I had no power to resist, I extended my right hand. I felt a strange chill pervade me at his touch—lie grasped it and held it near the light, thus affording me full time to examine every feature of his face, and particularly of his person. It was the face of Washington, and he was dressed in the uniform of the Revolution. After holding my hand for a moment, look ing steadily at me, he said, in a quiet way: 'And with your right hand, Senator from South Carolina, you would sign your name to a paper declaring the Union dissolved ?' 4 Yes,' said I, 4 if a certain contingency arises I will.' Just at this momenta black blotch appeared on the back of my hand; I seem to see it even now ! 'What is that?' cried I in alarm, 4 why is that black spot on my hand!' 4 That,' said he dropping my hand, 4 is the mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in the next world !' 4 lie said no more, but drew from be neath his cloak an object which he placed upon the table, on the very paper on which I had been writing. The object, gentle men, was a skeleton ! 4 There,' said he, with emphasis, 'there are the bones of Isaac Hayne, who was hung by the British in Charleston. He gave his life to es'ablish the Union. And when you sign your name to a declaration of dissolution, you may as well have the bones of Isaac Hayne before you. He was a South Carolinian, and so are you; but no blotch was on his hand.' 4 With these words he left the room. I started from the contact with the dead man's bones and awoke! Overworn by labor I had fallen asleep and been dream ing.' Many other instances might be recited to show that some of the most important events to man that have occurred since or der was brought forth from chaos, and the Almighty rolled the planets from His palm and set the spheres in motion, have been more or less connected with dreams. May not this dream of Calhoun's have a happy influence on the perpetuity of our glorious and happy Union ? 'Sammy, my son, don't stand there scratching your head ; stir your stumps, or vou'll make no progress in life.* 4 Why father, I've heard you say the only way to get along was to soratob a-h.'sd.' THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1860. A Horrible Murder. A Woman Beaten to Death by her Hus band.— Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Alderman Dallas on the body of j a white woman, who was beaten to death | on the niglrt previous, at their miserable and cheerless abode, in the rear of No. 1352 Shippen street, south side, below Broad. The place where this murder was committed, is the lower story of a rickety old frame house, not fit even for a cow sta ble or pig pen, to which access is only had by means of a narrow alley extending from Shippen street. We paid a visit to the house where the deed was perpetrated. An ! entrance was affected through aside wiu dow, which had scarcely a whole pane of | glass in it, the d < ' ;ng t' steneu by means of an old broken chair placed against it on the inside. In one corner of the dark apartment was an old bed, on which the naked body of the woman lay, covered with a bloody bed tick. Her face was shocking ly lacerated, her nose broken, her lips cut, her eyes clotted with bloocf, and her hands completely covered with her own gore. A more shocking spectacle we have not seen for some time. From appearance, we should judge that the poor creature must have struggled fearfully in the unnatural and unequal contest with her demon hus band. Alongside the bed was an old table, on which was a loaf of bread saturated with blood, some snow had been driven through the cracks of the window by the severe storm of Tuesday night, a piece of tallow candle, and a dirty tin cup with ice in it, while under the table were two min eral water bottles, one of tbem containing a small quantity of red whiskey, a villain ous compound that ought to be labelled the essence of mania-a potu. An old broken down coal stove, with a worn out pipe, a coup e of chairs with no backs, a pair of dirty grea>y chests, a rusty razor and other useless t.iings of no value on a shelf, made ! up the furniture of the place. .Squalid misery and want loomed up from the dark recess, while on a filthy bed lay the stiff, mangled and appalling evidence of the ; crime of murder, a hideous spectacle re- 1 volting to our feelings of humanity. The brutal husband in order to perpe- I trate the work of death with less fear of detection, turned his oldest child, a girl of I ten years of age, out into the snow storm. Though cold, stormy and dreary, yet she i was p'a.i to escape into it from the fury of the father. A sister, a little blue-eyed girl ! of pleasant features, was permitted to r - main in the place and witness the scene ol" 1 blood. Another child, a boy, too young to talk or comprehend anything, was in the j bed when the mother expired from her blows. About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, the body of the murdered wo- I man was discovered by some of the neigh- i bors, and the attention of officer James MeCullin was called to it. He at once proceeded to the house and arrested the husband, whose name is Christopher Mc- Farland. As the murder was committed 1 when no one was present save the little ; child above alluded to, the witnesses could not give a very clear account of the facts. ' —l'll iladcljihia Daily JVews, I'cb. 2. £"£""An extraordinary case of a girl con cealing her sex for many years, has been brought to light at Peitiers, France. Au gustine, alias Augustus Baudoin, a young person of 17, was known in the town and neighborhood as an active lad, and had been in place in respectable houses as 'odd boy.' This individual was lately tried for robbery, and while in prison, the authori ties conceived some suspicions, and ascer tained her to be a female. On being ask ed what reason she had lor wearing men's clothes, she said she had observed that men got their living easier than women; but she refused to give any information as to her birth and parentage. She was remov ed to the female wards, but her repugnance to appear in woman's attire among her fel low prisoners was so great, that she com mitted suicide by hanging herself on an iron bar with a pocket handkerchief.

Now, ! the effect of drug remedies is to change the ; remedial effort—the disease—from the surface . to the centre, and hence the fatality under drug medication. The Water Cure treatment for scarlet fever is as simple and easily under stood as it is effectual. The simple form of the fever requires but little treatment. The patient should be bathed or washed with cool or tepid water, according to the heat. The anginose form, in which the scarlet rash is more general and the fever greater, the wet i sheet pack, pouring head bath, or a general i cold towel bath, is indicated. The malignant ] or putrid sore throat requires more care iu its j treatment. In this form the throat ulcerates, j the salivary glands become enlarged, attended : with an acrimonious discharge from the nose j and ears. This form being of the typhoid i character, requires but little cold water treat- i ment. Tepid ablutions, wet cloths to'thei chest and throat, cold cloths to the head and warm foot baths, are the leading appliances. The method of treatment is altogether owing to the condition of the patient. Some may think that the ground taken is too ultra, but if we would reiterate what Prof. B. F. Barker, I M. P., of the N. I'. xMedical College, (high i authority,) says, we might be considered ultra, i but nevertheless within the bounds of truth : " The drugs which are administered for the cure of scarlet fever, and measles, kill far j more than those diseases do. I have recently given no medicine in their treatment, and have had excellent success." A. T. HAMILTON, M. D. [For the Gazette.] "Our Flag a Sacred Trust.'' Although but little more than three-fourths of a century has rolled away since the Amer ican flag was unfurled to the breeze of heaven, it rivals in glory and splendor those of the most powerful nations. Born in the midst of internal strife, and beset on every hand by a cunning and vindictive enemy, it struggled valiantly through all this mighty opposition, and arose in all the pride and beauty of con scious right to its place among the standards of the earth. And it has maintained the po sition it then assumed with undaunted firm ness and unsullied honor. We challenge the world to produce its equal. Even Rome, once the " mistress of the world," but now " the Niobe of nations," deserves not that for ban- New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 14, ner should be compared with ours. True, the j American eagle like that of Home originated in discord and confusion, and had to contend with almost insurmountable difficulties ; but did it, after having survived the perils of its youth, extend its power and dominion by conquest, and deluge a world in innocent blood? No! my countrymen, no! our banner waves over lauds obtuiued by honorable pur chase, the weak and defenceless look up to it in confidence for protection, and earth's most potent digoitary does it honor. Surely wo have reason to be proud of our ensign. I "Our Sag is a sacred trust," is written in delibly upon every page of our history.— When the storm which had been slowly gath ering upon our political sky first burst forth in all its fury at Lexington, and spread fear and consternation all around, then it was that a patriotic few ran up the glorious cusigu of liberty, and invoking the protection of heav en, periled life, fortune and sacred honor in its defence. The crimsoned fields of the Revolution, the altars upon which our fathers immolated themselves to the goddess of lib erty, rising up before the mind as they do, with all their glorious associations, form a glittering monument which shall stand to commemorate their deeds of daring and "he roic endurance" in that arduous struggle, when they, in answer to the call of heaven and oppressed millions, inarched boldly forth upon the tented field to dispute with an arro gant and despotic king the right to enslave his subjects. And Lexington forms the basis ot this regal structure. Then among the many other glittering gems of which it is constructed, shine forth in all their original lustre Bunker Hill, and Monmouth, and Sar atoga, and all the remaining battle fields, lees conspicuous but not less glorious. And upon every stone are engraven in letters i: gold the names of the countless heroes who periled their all in its defense, and deemed no sacri fice too great when its honor was endangered. There, indeed, we behold the names of mar tyrs to freedom. Warren, whose blood has rendered Banker Hill sacred—Lawrence, who, when the red tide of life was fast ebbing away, a.ol the darkness of death was slowly but surely closing around him, desired that he might be placed in such a position that his eyes
