eat the hard crusts found in the yard, and

only slightly incommoded, though the gale
was terribly severe, interrupting the pas

Robert P. Siiiipson presided, assisted by a

speeches were made by lion. John P.
Hale, Rev. ilnory Ward Reedier, and oth

A series of strong resolutions, denouncing
the measure, and calling on the President

resolutions are to be forwarded to the New

President and the Governors of the differ

13IPORTANT DECISION.—The fol.
lowing case was tried before Judge Pearson,
at the late Term of the Dauphin County
Court :
JACOB MURRAY vs. J. 31. KERR
This was an action brought to recover from
defendant the earn of $l4O, bet by plaintiff
with other parties and placed• mu defeu
daut's,hands as stakeholder. The bet was
on the result of the late Presidential elec
tion. The money had been paid by defen
dant to the winning party.
The Court decided that, under the act of
1839, to prevent betting on elections, &c.,
neither depositor could recover front the
stakeholder the amount of - his deposit ;
that the only party entitled to bring an ac
tion within two years from the time of mak
ing the deposit, are the Directcrs of the
Poor, for the use of the poor of the
county.

In the House, on Friday, 31r. STE
PIIEN'S of Georgia made an earnest speech
in support of the Nebraska bill, in tho
course of which ho announced that .the
Southern members would all support tho
bill without regard to party. What a
lesson for the North ! The South never
Iters when its supposed interests are at
stoke, and always drives a sufficient Dum
ber of Northern "dough-faces" into the
support of their demands to accomplish
their purposes. Hence tho secret of their
control of the policy of the General Gov
ernment in almost every important issue.
It looks amazingly as though this infamous
Nebraska movement were to havo a similar
result. Let us, however mark the trai

NF: ssits. EDIT' IRS in Boston
a few days since, I had the pleasure of
seeing a copy of your valuable paper, in
which I noticed a communicatiou from a
Surveyor of Adams county, respecting his
method of applying correction to the vari
ation of the Needle. Now if you will per
mit me, I will be very glad to make a note
on this subject. For several years I have
made surveys where the needle has every
angle of variation, and have taken the azi
muth of the compass polar error many
times at Sea; and always at the coca
meneement of any work or log enter the
variation of the needle in degrees and de
cimals, East or West of the true pole, as
the case may be. This is the first part of
every survey. Then let au entry ho made of
every course run in the field book of any
survey as "by compass," which is all that
1 is desired; for by adding or subtracting
the needle variation from any particular
course you have the true polar angle North
or South. Front the notes "per compass"
any plan or plot can be drawn with ease
and with less liability to error if all
courses are laid off from a given meridian
which can be the magnetic. This dune
hit the angle of variation be produced front
the point of the plan most convenient ;
one being the true North, the other appa
•rent North, with the degrees of variation.
Should, however, a Surveyor desire to
'enter all his courses corrected in Ids field
book, this can be done, only remembering
to note the variatton of his compass; and
if West, to add the number of degrees
of the variation to every course of the
North-west and South-cat quadrany, and
subtract the said variation from every
North-esatand South-vrostquudrant course.
But if the needle varies Bast, (say s°) then
add this to every North-out and South
west course, and subtract the 5° from every
Nortls-west and South-east course. It is
well to road the North and South courses
from the, respective ends of the needle.—
Should a. ntoment'sdoubt occur as to the
method of reducing the variable. magnetic
course, it would bilietter to defer the cor
rection Mntil the whole survey was made
and reduce all the courses as Rest stated at
once by erecting a polar line from the mag.
node meridian. Iloping,mo additions will
be made on, the wrongluadrant of the com
pass I have the pleasure to subscribe,

Columbia, (N. C.) Jan. al, 185 i.
The Nebramko'Blll In the South.
are glad to note that some of
the more prominent journals and public
men in the South refuse to endorse DOUG
LASS' propmition to re-open the Slavery
agitation by repealing the long recogni
rod Compromise of 1820, and as our read
ers may desire to see -how they view the
matter, we annex a few extracts us WJ meet I
with them in our exchanges. Sena n tlir j
!looms, 'of Texas, has spoken in his
place in the Senate, against the bill, and'
it is understood his colleague, Mr. Russ, k
gees with him. The Louisville Journal,'
one of the ablest papers iu the slave States,
thus concludes a long article on the flues-
"The prospects are that President Pierce
will force the Nebraska bill thtinigh Con
' ress at the end of the party lash. We
torcsce as its consequence not only fierce
and extended agitation now, but the abso
lute destruction of the confidence of the
North in thu plighted faith of the Small,
and the future impossibility of any adjust.
anent whatever. If the Missouri Compro
mise be broken, there is an end to the era
of compromises. The sword will then be
drawn and the scabbard thrown away.—
The passage of the Nebraska bill will at
once sweep away those great national coat•
pacts which laid to rest the most exciting
questions in our history, and launch the
nation upon an. interminable sea of..
diseerd as dark and boundless and unknown
as the future itself. 'laving, for these rea
sous, entered an earnest protest against it, 1
we shall await the result with the deepest
interest."
Jam( N. Borrs, of Virginia, is out iu
a strong letter in which we find the ful.
lowing paragraphs :
"After the toast careful examination of
this portentous question, lam satisfied that
it is the most mischievous and pernicious
measure that has ever been introduced

to the halls of Congress.
“As a Southern man, I raise my voice

"il is not the le:;4t strange chapter in

that, from pritilmitial considerations, they
did not see tit to utter during his life ; but,
although he was killed by the unkindness
of friends he most relied nn, he has left
those kehind him who will be prompt to
protect his fame. By almost superhuman
efforts, such as went tat to carry the most
distinguished man of the ago to his grave,
we have just extinguished a eonflagration,
that threatened the destruction of the no

upon the Waters, and we have seam's had

it hitter deuunciatiou of Doughnut' move-'
meat. Mr. oJ:stems belongs to the State
'tights wing of the Southern Democracy,
goes it strong for Slavery, but protests a-
Oust the breach of faith with the North,
which that movement contemplates. He
concludes with the following striking para
graph :

"I am too much engaged with profes-
Isional duties to pay much attention to pol
itics. but I have seen enough to be certain
that the Nebraska bill, as reported by Mr.
Douglass, will pass, and I think 1 can fore
'see the consequences. That they will be
any thing but agreeable seems too clear to
admit of a doubt. A floodgate will be o
pened, and a torrent turned Iooose upon
the country, which will sweep away in its
devastating course every vestige of the
Compromise of 1850. Ido not speak of
its immediate effects; I look beyond. For
the present it tutiy be looked upon at the
South as a boon, and by a portion of the
North as a triumph over fanaticism. The
word peace will be upon the lips of its ad
vocates everywhere. Like the angel of
the Lord, who stood among the myrtle
trees and said—'We have passed to and
fro through the earth, and behold ! all the
earth sitteth still and is at rest,' oven so
we shall' have it proclaimed that the coun
try is at rest—that all is peace ; but I
greatly fear they will loon find they have
raised a spirit which will wing its way
through storm and tempest to the funeral
pyre of the republic.
"To abide in good faith by the Com
promise of 1860 and the platform of Bid
timer° Is both the post of safety and the
post of honor. I repeat, we of the South
ask nothing ,but to be let alone."
