As soon as the excitement created by th arrest of Lloyd ceased, Benton inquir ed if the work was done "it is done," replied the clerk. He asked again, and ckair replied, it is done "very good, very (rood" said Benton, in impious imitation of the deity himself. He was the Fiend Ood of the work, and all obeved him of his party. The Senate adjourned. I weut to the Clerks table and viewing the journal, mutilated as it was, as I would have looked upon the dead body of a fellow being murdered in my presence. Benton came up and looked to see with his own eyes that the work was well done. He showed about as much revulsion of mind as he would if he had been the murderer of a fellow being over whose dead body he was standing and wiping his weapon. He asked for the pen, and bore off the aCGursed instrument as a trophy for King Andrew, for whose rake the journal had been expunged, the constitution had been broken, and the Senate humbled and disgraced! Oh mv fellow citizens, I saw and felt and suffered more on that aecasion than I shall ever endure again, I hope, for the sake of a devoted country and its instiutions. What was most wonding was to know that Virginia, was there present and consenting to the death. I saw Musssachusetss, old Massachusetts, the elder sister of Virginia, there, Massachuscts who, what ever may have been her local politics whether democratic or federal; no matter how she has differed with Virginia about mere questions between the plough and the loom, about a tariff or a bill of inter nal improvement Massachusetts who has ever been side by side with Virginia cercnce ot the oia common stoeii nrmci pies, the fundamental principles of free government Massachusetts who stood up in the north, whilst Virginia stood up in the south, during the night of the revo lution; their tresses streaming in the howl ing tempest of the war against evil liberty anaine rignis 01 man, wntcn swep across tne ocean encourageing each other to endure to the end holding the lights hig up Hancocks responding to Henrys and lienreys to Hancocks the House of Bui ress to raneuil Hall, and i aneuil Hall to the House of Burgesses. When I saw old Massachusetts again, when we were thrown back on those same fundamental dear and sacred principles on which Mas eachusetts and Va. all have ever heretofore fore been united, reaching out her arms and appealing, calling again, affectionately and touchingly, Virginia! irginia!

Cabhinrtox: I have often admired the policv of some of our citizens, who keep fowls to scratch up their gardens. Having a few precious feet of ground, not a particle ol which should be mis-improved, they lay out their beds and plant their seeds, and tiien let in their hens to mnr their Inbors and detroy the hopes of the season. A single old lien well practise! in the use of beak and claws, will lo more injury in a garden in one hour, than the ctrsrs and chickens will compensate in one vear. Uut if they merely injure the property of their owners, no other person would have just cause for complaint but when gardens and tenements j i" each other, these marauders think it no hard ship at all to scale the fences and scratch up the seeds of their neighbour and h -ijce the great mischief they do to gardens, they the neigh bours bv the ears, and by their ow iv.-in caus a clapper-claw ing among bipeds of a superior or der.

We "Lack-woods-people" certainly la I 1 - i uor unuer great disadvantages respecting new literary productions. e often see new publications announced in Atlantic city papers, months, nay years before we can gel hold ot them. This was the case with the book before us. We saw it an nounccd, we even saw extracts troin it months ago, but despite of all endeavors we could not get it, until a gentleman of this place, who is connected with the incennes Library, bought it for that insti tution. Washington Irving, with whom we are all acquainted, has given us in the book before us, a narrative both amusing and in sirucuve in nis wonted, easy and graceful style, he makes us acquainted with the T I" . originator of the great enterprise spoken oi in me "Astoria, ana this is no ess a personage than Mr. John Jacob Astor of New-York. In the biographical sketch given oi -ir. sior, ne snows us what a - c . i , , man can uo wnn a small capital, and a large stock of speculative and enterprising i . -1 i, . pint. In the Sequel ol the narrative Mr. W . Irving leads us across the Rocky mountains, and beyond there through im mense prairies to the mouth of Columbia river. 11 e makes us acquainted in these travels, with a variety of Indian tribes, their different manners and ways of living &c, and at last, gives us a description of the termination, or mouth of the Colum bia river. Ha further shows us what 'furtrade' consists in, what qualifications lur-trader ought to have, what privations and dangers this class of people have to encounter, etc. eVc, and finally it shows to the Philosopher how pecuniary gain, or even a prospect of gain, can induce man to break the tics oi relationship and friendp, to forsake the comforts of civilized ife, and put life at a stake for money. It further shows us, that man, even brot' up in the life of civilization, can become accustomed to a savaje life, to privations nd dangers, and can even prefer it to the peaceable fireside at home. The work "is necessarily of a rambling and somewhat disjoined nature, compris ing various excursions and : xntures by and and sea;" but our am: has the whole happily linked together, and in the liferent characters personified beautifully ice and virtue, faithfulness and perfidy and has made the whole by his plastic, entertaining and manly language, useful and agreeable for every class of reader", and we trust, it will be read with equal satisfaction by the young lady and by the old politician, by the listless young man who 'wants a good novel," and by the moralist. CHALYOS. THE CHIEF IX THE GRIPPE. "It is rumored that by the failure of the great Tennessee house of Yeatman, Wood it Co., General Jackson is a severe suffer er, and that he had loaned his name to a relation closely connected with land spec ulations, to the amount of $300,000. If so, the Old Chief has to break ao, an apt illustration of his own measures." What says the Globe to this? hen, a day or two ago, it was stated that the

Old Chief's draft for $6000 had been protested, the Globe ranted rarely. Here is a specimen: "General Jackson has drawn for nothing that he is not entitled to command. It is barely possible that the proceeds of his

crop may have fallen into the hands of some such honest whig merchants as have stopped, with the money of the farmers in their pockets. If this be so, the Old Chief will cheerfully pocket the loss, in the hope that it may prove a sufficient warning to guard the producing classes against trusting hereafter such high-flying dealers. The Old Chief never cheerfully pocket ed any kind of loss. And just now, when loss, in the mode suggested, must mortify his self conceit as well as his cupidity.it may be well concluded that he will roar in all the furious impotence of a lion in a cage. A Girl Playing the Ghost. We gath er from the York (Ireland) Constitution of a late date, a statement that a girl ol the name of M'Carthy was brought into bride well on Sunday, under circumstances not very usual in this part of the country. She had been plavinjr the ghost in the house of a farmer by the name of Buckley, at Ballinglough, in the South Liberties, in whose service she had for some time liv ed. She commenced her pranks during the absence of Buckleys wife m l oughall, where she had been spending a few days. Noises were heard in the house at night, and as Buckley was unable to dis cover the cause, they were of course set down to the account of a ghost. The neighbors, however, put a friendly construction on them, and gravely announced it as their opinion, that they should be ta ken as an intimation that Mrs. Buckley had been long enough from home! For his good wife, therefore, Buckley went, but the ghost nothing daunted, continued his gambols after her return, to the annoy ance and disquietude of the farmer. A watch was set, but without success. The priest was consulted. He advised that a light -should be in readiness, and struck the instant the noise was heard. The advice was followed the light was struck search commenced, and the servant de tected rattling a poker in an iron pot, which she had concealed near the bed. faken in the act, she had no defence, & she was on Sunday escorted into the city by a large concourse of the farmers and others of the vicinity. Buckley is a 'snuff' farmer, and had a considerable sum of money in a ehest in the house. On this money the girl is said to have set her heart, and to have concerted with some friends outside for the purpose of obtain ing it; and we understand she has confess ed that the object of the experiment wh ich terminated so unsuecessiuiiy was, by mu ring Buckley and his wife to the noise, to lull them into a state of inisnspcctin guess lavourableto the removal of the chest. She has been committed for trial. Hill of Iron. This hill is situated in Brazil, on the left of the road from Queloz to ilia Rica, rather more than a lcngue from the former place. It is described by Mr. Luccock as 'one entire mass of iron, so perfectly free from any mixture of common soil as to produce no vegetable whatever, being covered with a coating of rust, or oxide of iron. The hill is so lofty and steep, that its top was not discernible, but, from its more elevated part, nodules of corroded metal had rolled down and great ly embarrassed the road. At the foot of the mountain the soil is red clay, mixed with ponderous brown dust. As we ad vanced, the metal seemed to become less pure, until, after an extent of two leagues and a half, it quite vanished, and was succeeded by common rlavey land. I had often heard of this immense mass of metal, but none of the reports had presented an adequate picture of it to the imagination. I he very core of the hill, as far as we could judge, appeared to consist of vast nlociis of iron, in tables, and it is so sin gularly free from alloy as to produce, when melted, twenty-five percent, of pure metal.' The Cincinnati Whig of Monday savs, that the pressure in the money market is beginning to be felt severely amonrr the laboring classes of that city. On Saturday last several of the large Foundry and Ma chine establishments discharged nearly all their workmen, and two or three of the ship-yard proprietors entirely closed their business. Xalehez Banks. Letters were receiv ed on Saturday, from Yicksburgh, announ cing that the Agricultural Bank and Planters' Bank of Natchez, both deposit banks, suspended specie payment for their notes, on the 5th, and that they had des patched couriers to their different branch es instructing them to do the same. Passengers by the steamer Yicksburgh, which passed iNatchez on the 5th, confirm this intelligence, though it seems that the news came from Yicksburgh, to which place a courier had been despatched from Natchez. Under their charters, we believe. these banks arc privileged to suspend spe cie payments for sixty days, and perhaps. after that period, they may again redeem their paper. I he news of the protest of government drafts, lor $126,000. on one of these banks, is confirmed. Louisville Journal. Mississippi Legislature. We leai n from gentlemen Just arrived from Missis sippi, that the Legislature of that State has passed a law allowing the redemption of all real estate, sold under execution for less than two-thirds of its assesed value, within two years. It is stated that the idea of a stop law has found no countenance. It is believed, that the banks have becn authorised to issue post notes,

ble in VI months, allowing ten per cent.

damaee3 for non-payment; and, also tnat some provisions have been enacted in ref erence to their temporary suspension of specie payments. 1 he Hon.

Nno Orleans. The New Orleans Bullettin of 1st inst. speaks encouraging ly. It says: "He feel clad, that there will no longer be much occason for alarm in our city. The crisis of our pecunia ry difficulties is evidently over, and times are beginning to grow better. We see many more smiling faces now than were visible a few days ago, and business in the city is a shade more active." From the X. V.

Hiram l'ratt the manager of one the Boffalo banks, has been in town for some days to make arrangements for the redemption of his bills but what success we know not. The suspension of Arthur lappan and the Crary's two of our largest, oldest, and best houses will unquestionably briiif lown many, both here and in Boston. Remarkable Circumstance. Upon the trial (by court martial) of Captain Seymour and officers of II. B.

A man by the name of John Wright, was lately convic.ed of horse stealing, at a special term of the Circuit Court of St. Francis county. Arkansas, and sentenced to execution.

The Globe now denies the truth of Mr. White's statement of his conversation with Gen. Jackson, as to the Florida war, and the cowardice of the Floridians. This is the Globe's nd Gen. Jackson's common resort, against everything. It is a very easy one, to be sure, but not quite so effective as easy First of all, the word of the Globe cannot even go far'enough to make it at all certain that even its principal in the affair the ex-presulcnt has really denied the testi mony of Mr. White; and secondly, when his denial comes in an authentic shape, what will it be worth, against the fair declaration of a person as respectable as Mr. White, long his devoted friend, and only detached from him. atlast, by his outrages against his compatriots and constituents?

" i lie only alloy to the universal rupture which prevailed, was the number of the wounded. The houses were insufficient to contain half; and the churches and public buildings were littered down with straw for their reception. The body of the Duke of Brunswick was brought to the quarters he had lately occupied. I was powerfully affected when I saw the corpse one, so lately blooming with youth and health; but my eyes soon became accustomed to horrors. On Monday morning, June 10th, I hastened to the field of battle; I was compelled to go through the forest, for the road was so completely choaked up as to be . T ,1 ... .... . - impassable. The dead required no help; but thousands of wounded who could not help themselves, were in want of every thing; features swollen by the sun and rain, looked bad and bloated. One poor fellow had a ghastly wound across his lower lip, which vaiicd wide, and showed his teeth and gums as though a second and unnatu ral mouth had opened below his first. a .i t i f i Aiioiucr, quite uiinu irom a gash across his eyes sat upright, gasping for breath, and murmuring 'De Teaii!" The anxiety for water was indeed most distressing rite Germans, 'Waser waser!' and the French, "De l'eau! de Teau!" still seem sounding in my ears; I am convinced that hundreds must have perished from thirst alone, and they had no hope of assistance, for even humane persons were afraid of approaching the scene of blood lest they should be taken in requisition to bury the dead; almost every person who came near being pressed into that disgusting and painful service. The general burying was truly horrible; large square holes were dug about six feet deep, and thirty or forty fine young fellows, stripped to the skin, were thrown into each pell mell, and then covered over in so slovenly a manner, that sometimes a hand or a foot peeped through the earth. One of these holes was preparing as I passed, and the followers of the army were stripping the bodies before throwing them into it, while some Russian Jews were assisting in the spoliation of the dead by chiselling out their teeth! an operation which they performed with the most brutal indifference. Hundreds of line horses were galloping over the plain, kicking fc plunging, appartntly road with pain,

while the poor -wretche who saw them coming and could not get out of their way shrieked in ageny; and tried to escape from them in vaiu. Soon after I saw an immenfca horse, (one of the Scotch Grays) dash towards a Colonel of the Imperial Guards, who had his leg shattered,' the orse was frightfully wounded, and a part of a broken lance still rankled in one of its wounds. It rushed, snorting and plunging past the Frenchman, and I shall never forget hia piercing cry, as it approached. I fled instantly to the spot, but ere I icached itth man was dead; for though I do not think the horse had touched him, the terror h felt had been too much for his exhausted frame. Sickened with the immense hears r,f

The boiling of ba con is a very simple subject to comment upon, but our main object is to teach common cooks the art of dressing common lood, in the best manner. Bacon is sometimes made as salt as salt can make it. therefore, before it is boiled, it must b soaked in warm water or par boiled for an hour or two, changing the water once; then pare off the musty and smoky part. trim it nicely on the other side, and scrape the rind as clean as possible. (Jive it plenty of water room, and put it in while the water is cold. A middle sized ham of fifteen pounds will be done enough in about four or five hours, according to its thickness. Cook's Oracle.
