The Deekuratios of Liohpisodieoce.
The questions, whether the American Revolution
originated in Massachusetts or Virginia, and wheth
er it received its first impulse from such leaders as
John Adams, 'Patrick Henry, James Otis, Thomas
Jefferson, or from the common people, have often
been discussed. It has generally been admitted to
have been begun in the upper 'classes of the socie
ty of thaiday. Oa reading Graydon's Memoirs of
those times, we have collected several interesting
facts in regard to the Declaration of Independence
and its first promulgation.
When Thomas Jefferson, from the committee ap
pointed to draft the Declaration of Independence,
first reported this immortal document to Congresaon
the morning of the 4th - Of July, 1776, the House
paused and hesitated. That instrument, they saw,
cut them off from even the mercy of Great Britain.
With prophetic eye, they saw all the horrors of a
sanguinary civil war pass in swift review before
them. While they wavered, and a deep silence
pervaded the hall, the venerable Dr. Witherspoon,
of New Jersy, rose ; through the gloom he saw the
glory ; and, with a look of unconquerable determi
nation, addressed the members. "There is (said
he) a tide in the affairs of men, .a nick of time:—
"We perceive it now before us. That noble instru
ment upon your table, -which insures immortality
o its author, should be subscribe li this very mom;
* nig by ever membe r r pliiseqr Although these
Igray hairs must sporedescenoA4 the4omb, I would
infinitely rat* they should be sent there by the
hand of the public e.xecutioner than lo desert, at this
crisis, the sacred cause of my country." After some
further impassioned remarks, the patriarch sat
I down ; Joi Hancock immediately affixed his bold,
dashing signature, and forthwith.it was signed by
e v ry member, present.
The Declaration was first read in public by Corn .
Hopkins, frorhe platform of an observatory that
had been erected by Rittenhouse, in the rear of the
State House at Philadelphia. But few persons stop
pedito hear it, and among these there were no man
ifestationsof enthusiasm. Its abstract truths were
above the comprehension of the mass. The prin
ciples on which it was based, and the language of
Declaration itself, were not immediately appre
ciated and understood. The apathy, timidity, and
ignorance, manifested at its birthplace, were, how
ever, not imitated elsewhere.
On the e l lth of July, the Declaration was publish
ed in New York, and read to each brigade of the
American army then in that vicinity, and was re
ceived with universal acclamation. On the same
evening, the statue'of George 111, was taken down
and dragged through the streets, and the lead of
which it was composed run into bullets. It was
promulgated at Baltimore, also, with every" demon
ation of enthusiasm.
But at no place on the outinent was it received
with such joy as at Boston. The people seemed to
have caugluthe enthusiasm of old John Adams
himself. It was proclaimed from the balcony of
the old State House in King street, in the presence
of all the authorities, civil and military, and of an
immense concourse of people,from both city and
country. The militia were drawn up in King
street. whi4h from that moment took its present
name of State street. They formed in thirteen de
tachments, to represent the thirteen States. At a
given signal a salute of, thirteen guns was fired
from Fort Hill, which was. immediately answered
by the batteries on the Neck, at the Castle, at Nan
casket, and Point Alderton ; the troope . then fired
thirteen rounds of musketry. The teivn authorities
and "most considerable inhabitants" then conven
ed at a banquet prepared at the conga Chamber :
all the bells rung in merry peals, and the joy was
universal. In-the- evening, all the ensigns'of roy-,
alty, sceptres and crowns, whether in sculpture 'or
painting, were pulled sown and burned.
FEARFUL ADV . FNTURE. -Mr. Moffat,in his "Scenes
in Southern Af "rii.a," gives an account of his escape
from a tiger and a serpent, which wagtruly provi
dential. Ile had left the wagornitOiliich he be
longed, and, wandered to a distance among the
Coppice and grassy openings in quest of game.—
He had a small double-barreled gun on his shoul
der, which was loaded with a hall and small shot.
An antelope passed at which he fired, and slowly
followed the course it took. After advancing a short
distance, he saw a tiger-cat staring at him between
the forked branches of a tree, behind his long spot
ted body was concealed, twisting and taming his
tail like a cat just going to sr ring on its prey. This
he knew was a critical moment. Not having a
shOt or ball in his gun, he moved about as if in
search of something on the grass, taking care to re
treat at the same time. After getting, ache thought,
a suitable distance to turn his back, he moved
somewhat more quickly, but in his anxiety to es
cape what was behind, he did riot see what was
before, until startled by treading on a large cobra
de capello serpent, asleep on the grass. It instant
ly twirled its body round his leg, on which he had
nothing but a thin pair of trousers; when he leapt
from the spot, dragging the venOrnous, deadly, and
enraged reptile atter him, and while in the - act of
throwing itself into a position to bite, without turn
ing round, he threw his piede aver his shoulder,
and shot it.

The following extract from a letter :written by,
Captain Loeser, and published in a late number of
the Reading Journal, is an interesting evidence of
the humanity of our volunteers to a conquered en-
luny :
" One poor fellow, when the line • balled, (he
was carrying a large bundle,) seated himself upon
.the ground, and actually ate the grass with seeming
pleasure. One of the soldiers then gave him some
water; he drank it largely, and by mode' thank
ed hint, and returned to the grass. Gen. Worth,
just then passing, stopped and ordered one of his
men, who happened to have some crackers with
him, to give the poor fellow some. This was
dime ; the man ate more like a maniac than a
Christian. When he.bad finished, he fell upon his
knees and thanked him. Some one who spoke
Spanish asked him when he had last eaten ; and
he said that for five days nothing, not even water,
had passed his lips.
" Another and more affecting case occurred a
few moments afterwards, as T was walking down
towards the city. A quite well-dresSed..,Spaniard
came up to one of our soldiers who was standing
guard over the arms that the Mexicans had stack
ed, eating a small piece of dracker and offered him
fifty cents for it. The soldier refused his monky,.
but gave him a whole cracker; (you must under
stand that s soldier's cracker is about five . inches
square.) The man thanked him, and turned again
towards the city, when there came three little boys
and a girl, clapping their hands in joy. The father
divided the cracker with his little ones irnsii, four
pieces, (this occurred not more than thirty feet from I
the soldier t ) and turned again to another. The
ivard was looking on, and,. sticking his musket into
the ground, left his post to meet him ; (this act un
der ordinary circumstances, is punishable with
death,) and gave him another.
" The man put his band in his pocket, and offer
ed him four or five dollars in silver; this he still
refused, and while they wore thus engaged, the lit
tle ones again came up, and the soldiers were sha
king hands with them,when into the party came their
mother, with an infant in her arms. The little ones
actually commenced dividng their small poitions
of probably two days' food with their mother.—
The scene was to romantic and affecting for many
a stout Yankee heart standing by, particularly our
hero, with his face twisted into every possible shape
except that of laughing. The soldier emptied the
contents of his haversack upon the ground in their
midst, and broke away, spite of the man's endeav
ors to retain him while he thanked him; wiping
his eyes with his coat sleeve, more like a school
boy whipped than one who had man - fully stood
three days' cannonading from nearly two htindred
guns. The shout that was sent up horn the crowd
was almost as loud as the one that proclaimed the
unfuding for the first time of the stars and stripes
upon the walls of San Juan d'Ulua.
CHARACTER or THE GENTLEMAN.—Dr. Lieber, 01
the College of South Carolina, in a recent address
before the students of that Institution, made the
" Character of the Gentleman" the subject of an ex
cellent address. If space permitted, the address
should exhibit its good points by abundant extracts.
In the absence, however, of large quotations, we
give the following :
" I have stated already that the forbearing use of
power is a sure attribute of the true gentleman ; in
deed, we may say that power, physical, moral,
purely social, or political, is one of the touchstones
of genuine gentlemanship. The power which the
husband has'over the wife, in which we must in
clude the impunity with which he may be unkind
o her; the father over his children ; the teacher
..ver his pupils; the old over the young, and the
young over• the aged ; the strong over the weak ;
the officer over his men ; the master of a vessel
over his hands ; the magistrate over the citizens
the employer over the employed; the rich over the
poor; the educated over the unlettered ; the expe
rienced over the confiding; the keeper of a secret.
over him whom it touches ; the gifted over the or
dinary man; even the clever over the silly—the
forbearing and inoffensive use of all this power or
authority - , or a total abstinence from-it, where the
case admits, will show the gentleman in a plain,
unostentatious manner. Every traveler knows
whether a gentleteanly or rude officer is seeking
his trunks. But the use of power does not only
form a touchstone ; even the manner in which an
individual enjoys certain advantages over others is
a test. No gentleman can boast of the delights of
superior health in presence ofa languid patient, or
speak of great good luck when in hearing of a man
bent by habitual misfortune. Let a man who hap
pily enjoys the blessings of a pure and honest life,
speak of it to a fallen criminal fellow-beim, and
you will soon see whether he be, in addition to his
honesty, a gentleman, or not The gentleman does
not needlessly and unceasingly remind an offender
of a wrong he may have committed against him.—
Ile cannot only forgive ; he can forget, and he
strives for that nobleness of soul and manliness of
character which impart sufficient strength to let the
past be past. He will never use the power which
the knowledge of an offence, a false step, or an un
fortunate exposure of weakness give him, merely
to enjoy the power of humiliating his neighbor. A
true man of honor feels humbled himself, when he
cannot help humbling others."
APPLICATION or Kirows.conc.—A new article has
of late been discovered - in Maine, called the Ameri
can metallic lustre, which seems to be unequalled
for cleaning and polishing metals. Its discovery
was in this wise ; A young man from Boston, who
had paid considerable ireution to geology and
chemistry, sfas travelling tor the purpose of obtain
ing subscribers to a newspaper, when, passing
through the town of Newfield. he noticed some
b ' ks of a very peculiar color. He traced up the

ILEGARDLINS or DENUNCIATION FROM AMY QUARTER."
;`,., •
Manaus Firs: The number of mines in Mex
ico already known is between three and four thou-
Atand. Their largest yield in any one year was
$25,644,566, in 1796 ; and for some years previous
to 1810, the average annual yield was 924,000,000.
From official returns, it appears that in' 1842 the
value of gold and silver exported was 918,500,000,
exclusive of what was smuggled out of the country
to avoid paying the export duty of six per cent.,
and which it is supposed could not have been less
than three millions more. Gold mines are rare in
Mexico ; the only ones known are those near Oax
aca, gold being found in combination with silver.
Three penny-weights bf gold to a mark of silver is
the largest amount obtained of the more precious
metal from the combination ore, - and this from the
mines of Guanajuato only. When the amount of
gold in these ores issmiligt is not separated from
the silver, as the result ortilio process is not equal
to the cost.
Under the vice-regal government, the tobacco
monopoly yielded a revenue of 85,000,000 ; now,
it produces only half a million, and we are told that
this is not more than equal to the expenses of the
establishment. This is Mexican wisdom all over,
to keep up a monopoly for the purpose of paying
the expense thereof.
The most valuable mine in Mexico is-that of
Freesiello, which netted $500,000 to the govern
ment annually, but the fee-simple of which was
sold, not long since, for four hundred thousand
dollars—being one-fifth lees than one year's pur
chase !
The revenue of the archbishop of Mexico is not
less than 830,000, exclusive of donations said birth
day presents, wilich =lnuit probably to half AS
much more.
The Mexican priesthaMiold one-fourth of the
whole property of the republic. The amount held
by the church in mortmain, is fifty millions. There
is a balustrade in the cathedral of Mexico, made of
a mixture of copper, silver, and gold, which .is
'three Imndred feet in length ; and some idea of its
value may be formed from the fact, that an offer
was once made "to take this balustrade, and re
place it with another of exactly the same size and
workmanship of pure silver, and to give half a mil
lion of dollars besides."
The public debt of Mexico is estimated at one
hundred, millions of dollars. It is impossible to get
precise statistics in that country.:
The mineral wealth of MexiCO is far from being
confined to gold and silver. There are mines of
lead, copper, tin, &c., but the lazy and unenterpri
sing hounds who own them do not put them to any
account.
• Mexico is admirably adapted to the production
of cotton, but raises not enough for the use of her
own manufactures, which at the. best, are. no great
affairs. Even the candleslised in their' religious
observances are in great part made front4inported
wax. The mechanic arts are in a vet.' • low state.
Saddles and plate are the principal articles made
there, most others being imported. The plate is
not handsome; and in reply to the assertion that'
the saddlers of no other country can make a Mexi
can saddle. Mr. Thompson sarcastically observes,.
"I do not think any decent saddler . .,would if he
could."
CAPTAIN SMITH'S BEAK troay.—About the year I
1830 I settled at the Lower Peach Tree, in Wilcox
county (Ala.) and enltiiated a few acres, in corn
and cotton, bftrides a small potato patch and a bit of
garden, as was usual in those days. My nearest
neighbor (John Champion) heing better off than_
the rest of us, had a nice gang of hogs, and feeling
a little above his neighbors on account ofhis weal
and being rather an overbearing man, too, was not
particular whether his stock broke into other peo
ple's fields or not. My crop was too small to feed
my own family and John Champion's hogs too, so
I complained to him several times, but got no re
lief, being at old Erasmus Culpepper's house one
day, heard him say that if a foot, or an ear, or
even a piece of bearskin was thrown down in a
place where hogs use that they would never show
their snouts their again. I went home and got the
skin of a bear which I had killed some time before,
and having supplied myself with some corn, I went
out and saw about twenty-five yearlisngs munching
away in my field. I " tolled them up," and cay),
ing a good runner, sewed 'bun up in the bearskin,
and then turned him loose, when he ran after the
rest, who flew from the• supposed bear. The last
that was seen of them was at Bassett's Creek, near
forty miles from any house, only two being alive;
one running from his fellow sewed up in the skin,
and he trying to catch the 'other—the rest were
found dead in the road, having literally run them
selves to death. It is useless to add that John Cham
pion's hogs staid at home after that.
NIEXICAN REXEDY FOR Sanntrut.—A general in
the Mexican army, a man of education and of con
siderable rank under the old regime, on entering the
family room in the morning to -breakfast, found his
daughter scolding (not very vehemently) his only
son. He inquired the reason, and was told by the
young lady - that her brother had broken a china
plate. " Has he P' said the father, and, without
another word, he seized, one after another, the dif
"ferent pieces of china on the breakfast-table, smash
ed then against the greund, and when none were
left to destroy, be proceeded to the kitchen, and
there resumed the work of destruction, until not
one piece of china or earthenware was left whole'
in the house. Near the end of this operation the
lady of the house returned home; and, on inquiring
the reason of what she saw, was told by her huh
band to go and replace the broken things by new
ones, he giving her ample means to'do so. " Now,
Juan," he said, turning to his son, "if you again
koreak a plate, yen Will not be scolded." •

GOODRICH & SON.
Spring ead Aiituaisu
The spring of life is past.
With its budding hopes and fears,
And the Autumn time is cocain*
- With its weight and weary years;
Our joyousness is fading.
Our hearts art dimmed with care,
And youth's fresh dreams of gladness
-
AU perish darkly there.
While bliss was blooming near 11.1.
In the bean's first burst of spring.
While many hopes could cheeraus,
Life seemed a glorious thing
Like the foam upon a river,
When the breeze goes rippling o'er;
These hopes have fled forever,
To come to us no more.
T is sad—yet sweet to listen ,
To the soft wind's gentle swell,
And we think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so well ; -
To gaze out on the even
And the boundless fields of air, , -
And feel again our.boyhood's wish
To roam like angels there!
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling luround the past,
And from that tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast.
,The form we loved so dearly
la the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely, ,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maideps
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly '
For such a World as this;
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O'er brows so sunny fright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year—
Like the changeful gleams of April
They have passed, like hope, away
And oh. the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they.
.bbd feel that all the beautiful .
Are u passing fast away !
That the fair ones whom we love,
Like the tendrils of a vine,
Grow closely to each loving heart.
Then perish on their shrine!
And can we but think of these
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are .waving o'er us
And the flowers t blossoming I
For we know that winter's coming
' With- his cold and stormy sky—
And the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die
THE Lovea's HEA.RT.—We make no apology for
inserting' the following story, since it is certainly au
thentic. About a hundred years since, there was.
in France, one Captain Coucy, a gallant gentleman
of ancient extraction,and governor of Coney Castle,
which is yet standing. He fell in love with a
young gentlewoman, and courted her for his .wife.
There was reciprocal love between them; but her
parents understanding it by way qprevention,slruffi
ed up a forced match between her litd one BL F,ayel,
who was heir to a great estate. Hereupon Captain
Coucy quitted France in disgust, and went to the
wars in Hungary against the Turks, where he re
ceived a mortal wound near Buda. Being carried
to his lodgings, he languished four days; but a
little 'before his death he spoke to an ancient ser
ant, of whose fidelity and truth he ample experi•
eitee, and told him he had a great business to trust
him with, which he conjured him to perform ;
aihicit was, that, after his death, he should cause
his body to be opened, take out his heart, put it in
to an earthen pot, and bake it to powder ; then put
the powder into a handsome box, with the bracelet
of hair he had long worn about his left wrist, which
was a lock of Mademoiselle Fayel's hair, and put
it amongst the powder, together with a little note
he had written to her with his own blood ; and,
after he had given bim the rites of burial, to make
all the speed he could to France, and deliver the
box et Mademoiselle Fayel. The old servant did
as his master commanded him, and so went to
France ; and coming one day to Mademoiselle
Fayel's house, he suddenly. met him with one of
his servants, who, knowing him to be Captairi
Coucy's servant, examined him; and finding him
timorous and to falter in his speech, he seffehed
him, and found the said box in his pocket, withthe
note, which expressed what was in it; then he dis
missed the bearer with menaces that he should
come thither no more. 31erisieur Fayel going
in, sent for his cook, and, delivering him the pow
der, charged him to make a well-relished dish of
it, without losing a jot, for it was a very costly thing
and commanded him to bring it in.himself after the
last course of supper. The cook bringing in his
dish accordingly, Monsieur Fayel commanded all
to leave the room, and began a serious
had
with his wife. " That ever since he had married
her, he observed she was always melancholy, and
he feared she was inclining to ;',a consumption,
therefore he had provided a very preenrus cordial,
which be was well assured would cure her; and
for that reason oblidged her to eat up the whole
dish ; she afterward's importuning him much to
know what it was, he told her at last," she had
eaten De Coney's heart,`' and so drew the box out
of his pocket, and shewed her the note and the
bracelet. In a sudden exultation of joy, she, , with
a deep-fetched sigh, said, L•This is a precious cor•
dial indeed," and so licked the dish, saying, " It is
so precious, that it is a pity ever to eat anything
after it." Whereupon she welt to bed, and in the
morning was found dead. _
