Autographs- , -No. 4.
An autograph is more than merely an object
of historical, literary, or social history. It is
a relic of the actual writer, whose hand has
traced the writing, and passed across the
sheet. In an autograph, we have something
which the writer must have touched.' It is
like touching the writer only= once re
moved. Here, for example, two autographs
aro now before us—little more than signa
tures, yet singularly interesting. One is the
handwriting of Wri.m.A.3l FALCONER, author of
" The Shipwreck," the other of the celebrated
Rev. Jens WESLEY, founder of the religious
sect of Methodism. We have e word to say
about each, and conmirce with the Poet.
The History of Literature, unhappily fruit
ful as it is in examples of misfortune, has
scarcely any more melancholy than that of
WILLIAM FALCONER, Wheel) whole career might
be described as a life-long struggle with diffi
culties. A Scotchman, born in 1780, he was
the son of a barber—an occupation which was
followed by his townsman, ALLAN RAMSAY,
the poet of Edinburgh; those eminent judges,
the late Lord TENTERDEN and the present Lord
Sr. LEONARDS (better known as Sir EOWARD
SIIODEN) were also barber's sons. Permoxxn
was launched into the world of action very
early as a sailor boy, and had become second
mate in a merchant vessel, when •he was
wrecked, off Cape Colonna, In the Levant, be
fore he was 18. Entering into the Royal
Navy, he became servant to a purser, who cul
tivated letters, and not only allowed him the
use of his books, but took a pleasure in in
structing him.
FAtoomnit's debut in authorship was at the
age of twenty.oue, when ho published some
elegiac, verses on the death .of FREDERIC,
Prince of Wales, father of GEORGE 111.
This effusion had smooth versification; and a
groat amount of what is called " loyalty,"
but it excited little" attentien—uor did it
merit much. At the age of twenty-seven,
the poet was promoted to the quarter-dock
as a midshipman. He was shipwrecked, a se
cond time, in 1760. There wore seven hun
dred and thirty-four men on board the Rami
fies, and- only twenty-six persons escaped, of
whom FALCONER was one. The well-known
sea-ballad "Cease; rude Dorcas? was written
alter this casualty.
In 1762, "The Shipwreck, in three cantos,
by a Sailor," was published in London, and
immediately took the high stand, in English
poetry, which it has since retained. So en
tirely was it a narrative of facts, that Fame-
NELL prefixed to it a chart of the ship's way,
and a section of the ship itself, to illustrate
the details. No doubt tho events of his ship
wreck on the Britannia were more especially
in his mind, while writing this poem, for the
ship bears the same name, and the wreck,
which took place, in fact;off Cape Colonna,
has the same locality in the fiction. .cc The
Shipwreck" went into a second edition in
two years, and has since been repeatedly re
printed. Experienced officers have declared
that the whole course of working a ship,
through a tempest, as laid down in this
poem, is exactly what a judibious and well-.
skilled seaman would have taken. In
other words, it Is practical as well as po—
etical—a rare combination. There is reality
in the narrative, and all the power which re
ality bestows. The skill with which the dig
nity of poetic composition is maintained, even
while the most familiar technical phraseology
of navigation is employed, is ,almost marvel
lous. The second .edition, by the way, con
tains a thousand lines more than the first.'

poem by introducing, in the ,audttional
the characters of AlbOrt and Redmond; (the
first and second In command,) with the lovers,
Palemon and Anna.
A pursership in the navy rewarded FAL
CONER'S poem, and on the comparative ease
and competence which this situation gave him,
ho completed his Marine Dictionary, the labor
of many years. It was published early in
1769, and immediately after its appearance
FALCONER was appointed purser tothe Aurora,
a British war-frigate which was despatched to
convey to India Mr. HENRY VANSITTART,
father of the late Lord BEXLEY. This ship
left England on the last day of September
1769, touched at the Cape of Good Hope,
Which she left on the 27th December—and
never reached port. Captain LEE, who com
manded the ship, insisted on taking her
through the Mozambique Channel, of the
navigation of which ho was wholly ignorant,
and lost the ship through his rashness and
want of judgment.
WILLIAM FALCONER, whose poem was so
sadly prophetic of his fate, was 39 -when he
perished. Ho left no children, and less is
known about him than almost about any other
English poet. He never was in what could be
called easy circumstances, but, a little before
he embarked on his last fatal voyage, is said
to have received an offer of partnership in the
publishing business, established about that
time, by Jong MURRAY, of Fleet street, Lon
don, father of BYRON'S publisher and friend,
and grandfather of the present Jourr MURRAY,
publisher, of Albemarle street. -
Falconer's Marine Dictionary, which con
tinues a high authority—though steam-navi
gation makes a now and extended edition very
requisite—appeared in 1769, and was repeat
edly reprinted. In 1815 the sixth edition ap
peared, revised and enlarged by Dr. WILLIAM
BURNEY, with new engravings. It was pub
lished in 410, at the price of four guineas and
a half, equal to $l9. At that time it was con
sidered the best authority. It mast be greatly
modernized to adapt to present use. We have
before us the fragment of a receipt for the
subscription-money, part of which, according
to the custom of the time, was paid in ad
vance. It runs thus, in print and manuscript,
the italicised words being FALCONER'S hand
-writing :
The book will bo ready to deliver to the sub
scribers in March 1768. 5 * The prise
will be closed after the Subscription is
closed.
Received of Air. RobB s rt Toes. Half a Guinea,
being the First Payment for the above
Work ; which I promise to deliver accord
ing to the Terms of the Propcsids.
The work in question was the Marino Dic
tionary, (its title-page calls it a Dictionary of
the Marine,) and the handwriting in the above,
undoubtedly FALCONER'S, is bold, running,
and legible. This autograph is exceedingly
scarce—indeed, there is not a duplicate of it
in the British Museum. One of our earliest
recollections, however, is of having seen a
full Prospectus of the Dictionary—in fashion
of a full title-page—with the receipt at foot,
and the plain, bold signature attached. We
knew nothing of the value of autographs at
the time, (our own was in the incipient or
chrysalis state known as pot-hooks and hang
s,) but we knew that poor FALCONER had
written if The Shipwreck," and met the doom
which he so poetically and prophetically de
scribed.
We find here that the incidental notice of
FALCONER has run into greater length than we
anticipated. The Reverend Jowl WESLEY,
who had many occasions to exorcise patience
while living, must wait a few days until we
can pay attention to him. There is a little
story about' this particular autograph of his
in our possession which we cannot afford to
throw into a few sentences.
CAPITAL PenssnmENT.:—While several States
have made strenuous efforts of late years to abolish
capital punishment altogether, the Legislature of
Georgia is now endeavoring to extend this penalty
to other crimes than murder and arson. Two bills
have boon introduced, with a view to make both
night burglary and robbery by force capital of
fences; but each hos failed in the Senate. They
have, however, been amended so as to snake the
punishment twenty years in the penitentiary, at
the discretion of the port.

THE HISTORY OF PROSTITUTION, ITS EX.
TENT, OA.T.ISE3 AND EFFECTS THROUGHOUT

w. SANGER, M.D. New York: Harper 4.• Brothers.
Society, until recently, has been content to shut
its eyes to such social evils as it lacked the courage
to grapple with. Currer 8011, in " Shirley," re
marks, with much force . and point : "To sash
grievances as society cannot readily cure it usually
forbids utterance on pain of its Scorn; this scorn'
being only a sort of tinselled olodk to i to deformed
weakness." In fact, it is much' easier to ignore
glaring wrongs in the body politic than to risk the
reformer's usual fate in trying to; right them. It
is much cheaper to gain credit for virtue by de
nying all knowledge of vice than by making open
confession of what is patent to the most careless
observer, and by earnestly seeking for the efficient
remedy. Though modern society has much to
plead guilty for and mush to blUsh for, still the
laet few decades bear witness that it has awakened
to a consciousness of the fatal erior of apathy in
regard to matters of the meet vitel importance to
its well-being. The most convincing, evidence of
the fact is the rich harvest of iesult which, has
waited en philanthropic effort, and which has in
augurated Asylums for the Destitute, Five-Points i
Mission Schools, Ironies for Friendless Children, 1
and the many other practical schemes of benevo
lence now in active operation, ,these
same spirit
which has stimulated reform in ,these directions,
has prompted and directed the investigation
out of which the present volumel has come. The
social reformer cannot, be called to Solve a more
difficult problem than that which is here brought
under discussion.
I •
Dr. Sanger has earned a high reputation as Phy
sician-in-Chief to the Blackwell' Island Hospital,
New York—a position whioh has;afforded him pe
okliar means for the fulfilment of his humane task.
The volume now submitted to the public is, in
fact, an official report to the "Board of Alms
house Glovernors." of New rotk,.by whom its
statements and facts are entirelyiendorsed. How
ever startling and frightful ma'' be the details
which Dr. Sanger has summed together, they have
the warrant, so far as the city of New York is in
volved; of official inquiry, having been arrived at
by a recent and very minute , investigation. made

According to Dr. Sanger's ata'stios there are
i f
in New York °HY alone six t mond women-
openly living impure lives, Th' statement may
be better apprehended by refle4ing that 'Lillis
number were placed in line, side; by aide, allow
ing each twenty-four inehes,space, they would
make an unbroken phalanx of . i two and one
third miles in length, or more than the length of
Chestnut street, from the Delaware to the Schuyl
kill. The career of these poor outcasts of society
is fearfully brief, not extending; on an average,
over four years! Ignorance anti intemperance
are found to go hand in hand as their attendant
spirits of evil. T wo•thirds of these women bad
not received the first elements of a common-school
education, and five-sixths confeised to the ha
bitual use of alooholio stimultinta—the latter
characteristic being almost invariably a heredi
tary legacy from intemperate parents.— Out of
the two thousand who made full replies to the
official inquiries, it appears that 1,349 had lost
fathers, and 1,234 bad lost mothers. Of the pa
rents, fourteen hundred and seventy-nine had
died before their daughters had reached the age
of fifteen—a foot impressively elsquent of the
value of parental influence. AMong the prime
causes of this moral degradation, next to the lack
of parental training, is the very inadequate re
muneration of female latter ; and on this point
the array of proofs is as convincing as it is melan
choly. From carefully-propared statistics it up
pears that in Now York city the amount of capi
tal Invested far the support of this social evil Is
not lees than four millions of dollars, whilst the
pecuniary damage inflicted on the community
roaches the enormous amount of .seven millions
per annum ! Returns from other cities nro given,
and if the results of the inquiry instituted during
Mayor Yana's term era not wide of the truth,
Philadelphia stands in very favorable contrast
with New York, its percentage being lower than
that of any other oily in the Union. The total
number returned for this city, in September, 1856,
was slightly under six hundred—a , number which
Dr. Banger regards as very much undirstated.
How far the sterling principles of morality of the
disciples of Penn may have operated to produce
this marked contrast, we do not pretend to esti
mate, but we feel confident that they have had a
potent effect, and wo do not doubt that the moral
tone of Philadelphia is, In consequence, far above
that of .her great commercial rival.
Dr. Sanger deserves groat credit for the ability
and research which be has brought to the difficult
task he has essayed. His statistics are wonder
fully minute, and his generalisations are natural
and logical. His language is chaste and elevated,
and wholly free from any suspicion of catering to
a prurient taste. Ho presents the evil in all it:
hideous deformity, and not glossed'over with any
fascinating coloring. lie proves , conclusively,
from historlo data, that prohibitory measures have
signally failed to suppress or oheok the evil, theta
crying necessity exists for some action, and that mo
tives of the wisest policy require a change of proce
dure. His examination and disoussionof the beet
plans to be adopted, with a view to ameliorate the
evil, evince a heart full of humanity and a mind im
bued with sound philosophy. Tho effect of the
volume cannot be otherwise than beneficial, and
of this foot the names of the publishers would
afford, if it wore needed, a very strong warrant.
We trust its mission may bo soon accomplished in
the inauguration of practical reforms in this new
sphere of benevolence.

Harper's 11ragazine commences a new volume
—the 18th. The new number opens capitally with
a continuation of tho racy and finely illustrated
articles, "A Winter in the South." There are
other illustrated papers, of which the most curious
is that upon the Mosquito Family. There are
several interesting stories, some good poetry, the
usual-instruction and amusement in the Editor's
Table, Easy Chair, and Drawer, and four new
chapters of "The Virginian"—good chapters,
too, George Warrington's description lof his cap
tivity and escape being among the most foroible of
Thaokeray's writings There is a story, by Charles
Lamb, unpublished until now, and printed from
his autograph. Except as a curiosity of literature,
it has little value. How the rowdy rhymes, en
titled "The Prize Fight," commemorative of the
late boxing-match between Morrissey and Heenan,
ever got into such a discreet periodioal as Harper,
puzzles us. The Pugilists' Gazette, it strikes us,
ought to have had them. Here is the refrain—
as much as our readers will care to see :

With nothing between them of hate or wrongs=

To come and fight till one shall fall,

LITTLE JERRY, THE MILLER.
Baneath,the bill you may see the mill,
Of wanting wood and olumbliog atone ;
The wheel le dripping and clattering still,
But Jerry, the miller, In doad and gone.
Year after year, early shd sate,
Alike in glimmer and winter weather,
He pecked the stones and calked the gate,
And mill and miller grew old together.
"Little Jerry P'—'tins all the name—
They loved him well who called him ao ;
And whether he'd ever another name
Nobody aver seemed to know.
'Twee ...Little Jerry, come grind my rye V ,
And "Little Jerry, come grind my wheat ;"
And "Little Jerry" was still the cry,
Vrom matron bold and maiden sweet.
'Twee "Little Jerry" on ever! tongue,
And thus the simple truth - was told ;
Nor Jerry wee little when he was young,
And Jerry waslittle when he wee old.
But orrhat in size he chanced to lack,
That Jerry made up in being strong ;
I've seen a sack mien his back,
As thick as the miller; and quite as long
Always busy, and always merry,
Always doing his very best,
A notable wag was Little Jerry,
Who uttered well his elauding jest—
cg When will you grind my corn, I Fay ?"
"Nay, )) quoth Jerry, you needn't scold;
net leave your grist for half a day,
Ant never fear but you'll be tolled !,,
HOW Jerry lived is known to tame,
But how he died there's none may know;
One autumn day the rumor game—
,s The brook and Jerry are very low." .
And then 'twee Whispered mournfully
The leech had come, and he wee dead ;
And alt the neighbors flocked to see :
"Poor Little Perry:" was all they said
Theylaid bim in his earthy bed—
the miller's coat hia only shroud—
" Duet to dust" the piston raid,
And all the people 'wept aloud.
For he had shunned the deadly sin,
And not a grain of over•tell
Had ever dropped into hie bin,
To weigh upon hie parting soul.
Beneath the bill there stands the mill,
Of wasting wood and crumbling Mine ;
The wheel is drippleg and clattering still,
Bet Jerry, the miller, Is dead and gone.

Captain.ll. B. IBircy..4lLls last Winter's
Eipedition.
(Prom the Washington Union of Nov. 28th.]
This able officer is now in this city, under orders
for special duty. ,
The expedition of Captain Marcy from Fort
Bridger to New Mexico last winter, on which he
was despatched by General Johnston, for the pro
curement of horses; mules, and cattle for the army
at Camp Scott, was one of the most remarkable on
reeord. The route he pursued, .which lay In a
pretty direct line across the Übinty and Rooky
'Mountain chains, had:been traversed beforein the
summer tittle by hunters and trappers, but bad
always been set down, even by these hardy men,
as impracticable in the winter season. The old
mountaineer Bridger
. prononneed the expedition
impracticable. Captam.Marev set out from Fort
Bridger, however; on the 27th November last, with
forty soldiers, twenty-two citizens, thirty days' ra
tions, and sixty-five mules, and reached Fort Mas
sachusetts, New Mexico, six hundred and thirty
miles from Camp Scott. with the loss of but a sin
gle man, on the 17th of January, performing the
journey in the depth of the winter.
Immediately after entering the mountains, (we
derive our information from official papers,) the
snow became so deep that it was impossible for
the animals in their jaded state to make any pro
gress through it. Forty men were accordingly
placed in advance of the mules to break a track
for them. This course, which was pursued from
day to day, enabled the party slowly to farce its
way up the western slope of the mountains ; but
the snow rapidly increased in depth as they ad
vanced, when, as they approached the summit of
the mountains, it lay about five feet deep upon the
level, and here the leading men were obliged to
crawl upon their hands and knees to prevent sink
ing to their necks.
The progress of the party was necessarily very
slow, and although they labored most faithfully
every day from daylight till dark, yet they ad
vanced only nineteen miles in five days. The ani
mate, finding no forage except the pine leaves, be
came weaker continually. Many of them had
died, and those remaining were reduced to a state
bordering on starvation. The majority of the men
had worn out their shoes before one half of the
journey was performed, and, owing to their ex
posed condition, several had their feet badly fro
zen, rendering it exceedingly painful for them to
march or sleep.
On the 3d of January the rations were all con
sumed, and the party was reduced to the necessi
ty of subsisting upon such of the animals as be
came exhausted and could perform no further ser
vice. This meagre and unwholesome diet with
men who wore undergoing the most intensely
severe labor that the human system is capable of
sustaining, soon told upon them, and after a few
days they became weak and emaciated, while the
amount of labor they could perform sensibly di
minished. Yet this little band of excellent sot,
diers, all of whom had volunteered for this severe
service, performed the hard task allotted them
cheerfully and with alacrity, and no one of them
during the entire march, ever uttered a murmur
or manifested the slightest insubordination The
bravo men had undertaken the difficult and den-
gerous service for the laudable purpose of procuring
food and animals for the comrades they had left
at Camp Scott, who, there was good reason to be•
lieve, from the famished condition of the small
number of animals which remained to them after
. . .
the long march from Fort Leavenworth, and the
attacks of the Mormons on the trains, would be
in a condition of want before the party could re-
turn.
It is known that Captain Marcy obtained the
desired supplies in New Mexico, except American
horses, and that he returned safely to Camp Stott
with his welcome purchases.
The return route of the expedition was from
Fort Union over the Raton mountains; thence
skirting the wcs ern base of the Rocky mountains,
across the head-waters of the Arkansas and South
Platte rivers to Bridger'a pass at the Laramie
river; thence along Bryan's trail to Sege creek ;
thence north across to Bitter creek, and down that
to Green river, and to Camp Scott—the whole ma
king a distance of seven hundred and forty miles.
It is a noticeable foot in regard to this road,
"that it affords a panne from the waters of the
4tlantloto those of the Poi& without going over
a mountain.. The anent to the summit level of the
Rocky Mountain chain is here so very gentle as
to be almost imperceptible, and for sixty miles
upon the plateau forming the dividing ridge the
eve cannot distinguish which course the wateg
takes."
It will bo remembered that great apprehension
was felt lost the Mormons who, in strong parties,
wore sant out to waylay Captain Maroy, should
euccoed in stampeding the animals and cattle he
was bringing in from New Mexico. This officer,
however, had provided against any such disaster.
Ile Pad enlisted in his party, while in New Maxi
' eo, all the experienced hunters, mountain and
frontier men that could be found, and thus pre.
pared to act on the offensive, by anticipating the
enemy,. and stampeding their own horses and
mules. There is no doubt that he would have as
tounded.. the Mormons -by`completely succeeding
in this project had they fallen in with him in
their scenting excursions.
Captain Marcy is the anther of the valuable
report on Salt Lake Valley, which, has been pub
lished by the Government, in a large volume, and
to which the country is indebted for nearly all
its accurate information in regard to the Mormon
Country. .
