Why fatigue and disgust the reader with a
description of the tortures of hunger and
thirst? Twbnty persons now tossed about
in a raging sed-rtow burnt by a raging sun,
struggling every day for the scanty reiriaihs
of their provisions, Each <™rsel or h.scnit
is disputed by combat, and the feeWt die first,
because the strong kill them by shhtoh.ng
their rood from their lips. After a few days
none remain alive on board the Hope but
Tomango and Ayche. . .
One night the aea was high, the gale in
creased, and the darkness was so great, that
the forecastle could hardly be seen from the
quarter deck. Ayche was lying on a mat
tress ib the captain’s cabin, with lomango
seated at her feet, gaunt as a famished wolf.
Tomango I" she cried, “all thy suffer
ings are on my account.
** I do not suffer,” replied he hastily ; and
ho threw on' the mattress the half biscuit
which remained on board. ..
«• lam not hungry. My hour is come,
replied the poor girl.
Tomango rose without replying, and totter,
ing up on the deck, seated him-ell'fll the foot
of the broken mast. With his head bent
down upon his breast, lie murmured the song
of his tribe. All at once a loud cry was
heard above the din of the wind and the sen ;
a light appeared and a large black ship glided
rapidly pas*, so near that her bowsprit pas
sed over Ins head. He caught a glimpse of two
human forms lighted by a lamp hanging to a
masi. These figures uttered an other cry
and then ilieir vessel hurried on by the gale,
disappeared in the dark. A moment nlier
wards Tomango saw a flash, and heard the
booming of a heavy gun ; soon afterwards
another' fljsh. and anoiher detonation still
more distant and afterwards all wu# dark
blank. Next day, not a sail was visible on
tlurhntir.on. Thai night Ayche died. 1 do
not know how long afterwards that the Brit
ish frigate Allann discovered the bull of a
dismasted brig apparently deserted of her
crew. A boat having boarded her, a dead
impress was found in the cabin, and a negro
sb lean and shrivelled that he resepabled a
mittnmv. He was senseless, but appeared
still alive. The surgeon took charge of him,
end with such success that when the Bellona
reached Kingston, Tomango was in perfect
health” Thev asked him for his history, and
he told them all he knew. The planters of
island considered he ought to be hung, but
the governor who was a humane mao, look
his pan, considering him justified a* having
acted in the defence of life and liberty. Be
ind a very fine man, the Colonel of the 75th,
regiment engaged him to play the c\ mbnls in

very taciturn, and drank rum to excess. He

for four days.. On the second day three of
the forts (the town is protected by eight
strong batteries) were silenced, nnd a detach

the purpose of dismantling the abandoned
forts and spiking the guns. They were sur

great slaughter took place. The fortress of

We do not purpose to meddle with the silversmiths
of Ephesus, or their concern*, very extensively, in
this article. Charily has a multitude of definitions,
and the doling out of sixpences to blind beggars, nr
dollars to Foreign missions, See,, does not seem its
only signification- Such, are but too often peace, or
bribe-offerings laid on the shrine of Conscience with
gloved fingers; but sometimes they are given with
pare intent, for which, the Recording Angel jots
down an item on the credit tide of tho great Ledger.
The bounty of Charity lice in single-heartedness.
There are spme who aatoDiali tho world by the mag
nitude of their donation* ; and somehow, when wo
ace their charities ostentatiously paraded in the pub
lic journals, the simple story of the “Widow’s Mite”
glides into sweet remembrance, and the trumpeted
and blazoned gifts of millionaires Tike stars in the
clear light of morning fade away. It may come of
perverseness, but sp it is—and when wo ■ recall the
moral of that story, wo would rather bo the legatee
of that mile than of the golden millions of a Girard
or «n Aslor. The one would bring perpetual divi
dends of sweetest recollections, but the other Would
only declare semi-annual dividends of yellow dross
at the terrible sacrifice of millions of loaves that
otherwise might have chased hard-featored Want
from tiie bare cupboards of a million homes, besides,
an hourly interest of cares and anxieties. With the
mile, wc should grow tender-hearted and sympathet
ic ; with the other, it might be, hard-hearted and
selfish. For sudden wealth sometimes makes men
forgot their manhood, while a little discipline in the
ranks of poverty, has, erenow, revived the cmbOrsof
humanity that the pride of prosperity had well-nigh
extinguished. ..
The charity of mammon consists not in giving
muck, but uelL There is more real charily in giv.
mg a loaf to a starving family, than in donating a
thousand dollars to any enterprise whatsoever, of a
popular nature. It but one is to be done, let it be
tho first, by sll meant. If both ore done, so much
the belter. U is a mockery—bestowing thousands

To digress. Calumny has tried its worst upon
Dickens. It has gnashed its teeth among lilt heart
strings, end pursued him eves into the sanctuaryof
the closet with Its envious hiss. But he will live

of men now living, for hi* monument is reared in
every heart that ever trembled at the touch of aor.

characters are pen-pictures of living men, women

hateful to the beholder, and a terror to the guilty,,
On the other hand, he afnya Virtue in robes of.
light and surpassing loveliness, and pictures her

Tip now* .from the land of gotd, It, u usual,
apiced with mordera, slabbing aflairs, robberies, for.
gcriea and shipwrecks. Wo cannot afford to give
(Ten a reepcclnblo (7) digest of the various villain
ous-accideota and incident* related of that bright,
particular star of our union. By so doing, we should
only lurnish material for frightful dreams to our
readers, without amusing tiicm_jn the slightest de
gree, unless they possess dispositions akin to the
South Sea cannibals. Were we publishing a dail/
journal, and bound to publish the infinilcsalmal items
of news from the golden State, we would have a
stereotyped farm something like the following :
Murders, Usual quantity.
Affrays, Innumerable.
Robberies, 1,000.000,000.
General Villainies, 999.
Unparallelled Atrocities 1 10.
This would be an average summary of events, which,
stereotyped, would save a heap of labor, besides tho
trouble of readings six columnpago of fine print to
induce a fit of the horrors.
The most important item of news by the last
steamer, is the wreck of the steamer Yankce Blade,
two day’s out from San Francisco. She had on
board 800 passengers, some 40 of whom are thought
to be lost. Tho circumstances attending the wreck
of this'vessel are suspicious, and the baseness of the
captain in abandoning his vessel soon after she
struck, deserves, and must receive the severest con.
dcmnalinn of the public. The facts go to show that
this perilling of some 800 lives, was a thing of dc
sign. A band ol cutthroats were shipped as bonds
previoud Id the vessel's leaving San Francisco, and
their refusal to do duly, may be considered the im
mediate canso of the disaster. The captain pul off
for the shore, about a mils distant, amid the wildest 1
confusion, and listing gained il. like a poltroon as
he was, never attempted to relieve his passengers on *
the -wreck. There,. deed* 1 of violence were being
perpetrated, at which the bravest may well shudder.
No sooner had the captain departed, than the ruffian
crew before alluded to, armed to the teeth, began
a work of robbery aod death. More cruel Ilian the
threatening tea, these desperadoes look possession of
the vessel, and murdered every one that opposed
them. Ripping open the baggage, they took poa
session of the money and valuables, and with their
Knims dsktro/vd Hie witnesses of their fiedillsh sets.
Meanwhile, some truer hearts than the captain,
manned two boats and assisted many pf the unfor.
Innate* to the shore. Before they were all landed,
(he steamer Goliah hove in sight and setting out her
boats, took off the survivors. A steamer was des
patched to the relief of those on shore.
And-now you who are forever rating woman at
inferior to man, ponder this fuel and repeul in sack
cloth and ashes: While this dastard captain, one
of the race superior, remember, was skulking man
fully among the rocks ashore to escape his duty and
preserve a life that a decent dog would disdain to
live; While a band of cut-throats—lords of creation
also—were murdering and robbing the shipwrecked
passengers—a woman—one of the inferior sex—was
disputing with the mad sea for (he possession of the
bodies of drowning mchend women! Many a stal
wart, but strangled loid of creation did she rescue
from (he jaws of death and bear away up into tliq
sheltering rocks. Her labors were indefatigable; to
and from the shore she went, returning {each lime
with a half-drowned burden. Nor she alone: the
rescued women atifippcd off every garment that de
cency could spare, anti Wrapped them oround the
bodies of half naked and shivering men. Thus, as
usual, woman, played the Good Samaritan, while
thingt of the raarfyjiae gender played robber tod

Yesterday, nc went homo to dinner in tolerable
good humor with mankind generally and womankind
particularly,. We expected Mrs, Agitator bod fixed
up something nice. She met us at the door,looking
as stniling ss a basket of chips, and announced that
the vegetables were in order for dissection. We
look a look at the table, and (bit something very like
a chunk of lead thumping away at our left ribs.
The fact was, rile vegetables—potatoes were invisi
ble. We hinted this in a very gentle manner lb
the lady aforesaid, when she bridled up and very
pertly informed us that potatoes were non ret incen
tue; adding, indirectly, that—that—well no matter.

ilionisls. It says : -
“ With no sort of justice can it be said
hat' opposition to the Nebraska territorial
AholiVion movement. In nine ca
ses in ten it has resulted from what was re
garded ns the impolicy of superseding a long
established liw, Ihe terms of which had set
tled the legal rights of the free Stales with
regard to ihe territory in question.
“We have no doubt of the fact, that all
the people of the free Slates are Free Sail
ers, and just as naturally Free Soilers as
that we are the friends of the institution of
slavery. It Is a question of interest with
both, and, though it has been differently de
cided North and South, we are as far from
believing that the Norjh decided wrang—
lhut slavery would be .profitnbto, beneficial
(here —us We are from' bsievqtng that it is
hot peculiarly a’daptedlo ‘the climate, soil,
ant} productions of the South , This is the
trite basis of public opinion it ihe North
on the subject of slavery, "hat such nn
opinion can ever produce a crisis between
the free and slave Slates, invol .ing an aban
donment of the Union, we dc not believe,
and as an illustration of (his view of the
subject we submit the opinions pf two prom
inent men at the North, who mpy be proper
ly regarded as expressing the Free Soil sen
timent of their section. We cannot see why
the South may not tolerate the freedom of
such opinions, especially as they are strictly,
compatible with the protection which the
Constitution affords us, and with the princi
ple of non-intervention,”
The opinions of Gen. Cass' and of Judge
Bronson are referred to show that men may
think " slavery a great social, and political
evil," and yet be in favor of Ihe South en
joving every one of her constitutional rights.
The “ Georgian” then asks, with much
force:—
“ Why will the Southern Press persist in
misrepresenting Northern sentiment lo ihe
Southern people 7 What more does ihe
Souih ask then Freesoilism concedes, 1 respect
for our rights in the Union and equality of
rights in the Territories 7’ We know there
ar people ol the North who hate slavery as
much ns some of our Southern friends re
renlly lulled the Union ; hut we should also
know Dial they possess just about as much
ability lo give effect to their hatred. They
talk of not admitting any more slaves S'-ucs,
of moving the repeal of the fugitive slave
law ; but their efforts are utterly powerless.
The great mass of the Northern people will,
on future oecnsions, ns they have in the past,
prove themselves true and loyal to the Fed
eral Constitution of our fathers, and it is
wieked, even in demagogues who live upon
sectional excitement, to wilfully abuse the
minds of Southern people with a contrary
impression.”
The “ Georgian” then wisely refers to
the past m show that most of the " specula
rive cvuictiisinns ns to what the North will
do on the subject of slavery” are idle, and
that we should gather rhariry enough from
the pa<t to helievo that Southern, rights are
not seriously menaced or in any jeopardy.
Let patriots in all sections cultivate- and in
culrnte a just toleration of opinion, and all
will be well.

ered with lumps and scars, the effects of the
former whippings. She also staled that her
mistress Was in the habit of beating all her
slaves in the most cruel manner and men
tioned a couple of slave boys whom she was
continually torturing by burning them with
red hot irons and sticking forks and other
pointed instruments into them. On.hearing
these statements Lieut, Monde immediately
made an affidavit got out a warrant and had
the woman arrested. When brought to the
Police office the accused indignantly denied
these allegations, and produced a boy and
upon whom no marks could be found. The
slave woman firsi'arrested however, reitera
ted her statement, and said that the bova
were locked up in lhe.back yard, and no one
was permitted to see ihem. An officer was
dispatched to her house and soon returned
with the two boys, who did not appear to be
more than seven or eight years of age. On
stripping them they were found to be markon
in a number of places with the scars of fresh
and old burns, and punctured wouuda were
found in different parts of their bodies. The
accused was ordered to give security in :he
sum of 81 ,000 for her appearance for exam,
mat ion, which she immediately gave. The
slave boys and girl were sent lo the Parish
Prison.
Be il remembered that a slave cannot give
evidence against a while person. The arrest
we may safely affirm, is all that will ever be
heard of this circumstance.

value peace and good order, which recom

the following avowal leaks out.
“ Free negroes and Abolitionists are j
curse to any community, and are annually
depreciating by their example and influence,

We are not surprised. We shoujd think

that of n rattle snake upon any one who
could lake a quart of whiskey at a dose.—
