Boldotu of Speech Recommended.
Messrs. Editors : The unmerited r' buke
you have recently received for expressing
your preference between two rival candidates
has called forth the following article.
Without seeking in the slightest degree to detract
from the merits of others, Col. Brooks,
I may say, is one of the risincr shitosmon nf
"whom South Carolina may well bo proud.
"Paul waxed bold."?Ada of the Apostle*.
Bo bold, ye ministers of grace,
Amongst an erring, sinful race,
And shun not to declare to all
Our sad declension by the fall I
Let not your lips or tongue be tied,
Before the haughty sons of pride:
Unto the "filthy dreamers" show
Their present guilt and future woe;
And to the sordid misers tell
Their brother Dives is in hell.
Bo bold, ve Datriota of tho Innrl
With cenaure and with shame to brand
Tho wretch who'd s?ek again to light
The torch of terror, awe and fright,
That lately blazed throughout the State,
Attended by the fiends of linte:
Behold, ye patriots, our foe
Await* to strike a deadly blow;
Like brethren, therefore, we should be
Prepared to meet tlie enertiy.
Ye who conduct the public Press,
Your'censure or your praise express,
Regardless though you rouse the ire
Of Tillage gent or country squire.
Be bold the statesman to commend.
Wlio shows himself the pnorLE's khienw;
Bo bold, likewise, and blame bestow
On him who shows himself their foe.
Thus faithful seutinels you'll bo
To guard our lives aud liberty.
Ye Carolinians, one and all,
The sainted dead upon you call,
To trust not those who shall foment
Disunion, strife, and discontent;
If in your councils they should be,
They'd stir up strife and enmity?
In heaven itself, should thev cet there.
The blade* would soon kick up a flnre,
And have some censure? or complaints
Agnii.st the seraphs or the saiotsl
Hafiz.

The Self-Murdered Wife.
The history of the Liquor Traffick is
the repletest page in the annals of retrospective
crime, woe, and ruin.
This society-corrupting and soul-bligliting
curse has scattered, as upon the breath of a

Its ravages, as the foot-prints of " the angel
of death," are graven, in glaring relief upon
every feature, condition, and rank of human
society. Urged forward by the inspiration
of Mammon, and the love of "dishonest
gain," it has fou, with insatiable thirat,
upon human blood, and chanted its triumphs
with the furious strains of the "song
of death."
The melancholy incident which we are
now about to relate, occurred in the Fall season
of 184?, in the county of C , in
North Carolina. The unfortunate individu
al who forms the subject of our mournful
narrative, -waa the wife of William L ,
a religiont diatilUr / Slie had been for a
number of years a highly respectabe and
exemplary member of the samo denomination
of which William L bimsel^waa
a nominal member; and possessing in too
small degree those amiable traits of character
which ever adorn her sex, she was justly
regarded a "model woman." The reaponsSbilities
involved in the relations of a
wire sod mother were acted oat by her with
all the characteristic fidelity and affection of
a noble and Virtuotw heart The happiness
and interest of her family was the theme that
occupied with intensest emotions her heart
ladder life. But, she had a distiller for
tier husband. Unfortunate woman! We

unfeeling, heartless deliberation with which
he demanded her name to be stricken from
the Church of her preference, was enough
not only to provoke tho reprobation of men
but also to arouse tho indignation of devils.
His friends remonstrated?his wife implored;
but all, all, was utterly unavailing,
for vengeance inhuman kept the bosom of
the tiger-man ! "Take her name off the
book," was his ouly response to the entreaties
and tears of the minister, congregation,
and, more than all, his poor wife.
The name of William L lives in our
memory but to be regarded as one of the ,
worst of men. Devoid of principle, pity or
shame, and stained with the blood of her
whom he had sworn at God's altar to protect,
cherish, and love, his life has been a
slander upon the society of men, and his
acts a disgrace to the sympathy of friends.
The fearful day of eternal retribution, however,
awaits him, and we are content that it
is so.

a very interesting trial, involv- I

the most satisfactory history of the affair ]

Cneiter District, purchased a girl called Lu- "

by a man named Thompson, said to have '

1801, practising law. The girl had the i
looks of,an Indian, but was sold to him at a 1
negro. She ran away repeatedly, telling :
her playmates she was an Indian. Some
three or four years ago, she waa lodged in 1
jail fn Columbia as a runaway, and adver- .
toed. Herownor came for her, and was required
to Abowbis bill 4f <?a!e, which was
not considered altogether satisfactory. St.eral
citizens Were itopMiiifed bv the girl's

commission was read of the examination c
Mrs. Carter, the wife of a inan who pui
ihaaed the girl from Thompson and sold lie
:o Darby. In this she stated that, loarninj
'rom her children that the girl said she wa
Indian, she called her up and questioned he
ibout it, when she said "No, she was no
[ndian, but her mother was negro." Thi
yas offered as evidence, and, strange to say
ulmitted. But it had the opposite effect a
vhat was intended. As it was clear tha
imong her playmates the girl told the truth
ind to her master or mistress she evidently
lad been taught to say otherwise. Evidence
vas brought forward that she had for four
eon years, been in Chester, in posscssioi
>f Darby, working as a negro, and so con
idered, although called "Darby's Indian.1
L'he most striking testimony adduced in th<
;ase was that by our distinguished, talentec
ind scientific townsman, Dr. R. D. Gibbes
['his is not only mine, but the opiniou o
there. He understands the anatomy o
>ur races as well as I know my multiplier
ion table. As proof of iny declaration, h<
vns put upon the stand, and called upon tc
explain the ethnological distinction of ra
:es. He was asked to point out the char
fteristics of the Indian and Negro, whicl
ledid very minutely and fully, and in :
nanner to bring conviction to the whole as
emblcd crowd. He exhibited a cast of ar
lldian skull of nil alvirinrmnl ooi/1 is*
rom one in the Academy of Science ir
Philadelphia, from a mound in Ohio. II<
xplained all its characteristics, and ther
ailed up the old chief and interpreter, ant
howed the identity with their heads. II<
lien compare 1 it and their heads with thai
f Lucy, and established them all as of th<
aine type.
He then handled a negro skull, and denonstrated
clearly the peculiarities, and
howed by comparison the marked difference
Hiiween mem, lie explained tlie proini
lent differences in the anatomical structure
?f different parts of the body, and gave ar
xceedingly interesting account of the dia
inction in the bair of the Caucasian, Itidiar
nd Negro race. He stated a very curious
act, as resulting from microscopical obser
ation : that in the mulatto cross the hail

ometimes hairs of both, but never a mon
;rel hair ; tbat no amalgamated bair exist

lair as kinky. He stated the microscop<
evealed tbat the hair of the white rac<
rag, when transversely divided, oval, thai
if the Indian circular, and that of the Ne
pro eccentrically elliptical, with flattened
dgea; that the hair of the Negro was noi
lair, but wool, and capable of being felted,
hat the coioring matter of true hair was it
in internal tube, while in the Negro it wai
n the epidermis or icales covering the shaf
>f the hair.
In corroboration of his statement tha
x>th white and necrro hair were sometime
bund in the same head, a singular case wa
mentioned in my hearing, by Dr. W
He stated that he once attended a half
breed Indian and Negro, who had straigh
Indian hair. He was ill, and bad bis ImA
shaved and blistered. On bis reco^^
when his hair grew out, it was Negro hai
?crisped and wiry.
These are very curious facts, and of mucl
importance in toe distinction of races.
The counsel of tiie plaintiff proposed an
insisted on Dr. Gibbes to give the facts a
to the hair of grades of Mead) but he sai
be had not examined by the microscope a?

ie The Slave Trade.
d Some ultra-benevolent souls in our country
o both North and South are beginning to ad:;
vocate the re-opening of the slave trade, not
is on the score of gain to America, but of
is kindness to the poor benighted Africau !
e These poor deluded creatures would be so
e much benefitted if removed from their own
i- land of darkness and cruelty to this land of
- light and love. I'ts a pity to let them refs
main where they are another day ! So then
n icl Miijns anu raiis ana Doats ot all sorts be
,f prepared and let the eighty or three hundred
V millions of these ignorant and vicious sons
>f of Ham be transported to our shores where
-- they can make cotton and rice, hear the
r Gospel preached and learn to read the Jii%
ble, for if we bring them over to the states
s to enlighten them it will never do to shut
r them out from the light and close the Word
t of God Against them. Let them come then,
s one and all, for if one, or a dozen should be
transported to enjoy the blessing of the Gosf
pel and the sweets of civilization, so should
t tho millions. Let them all come and givo
i, them a free passage too. "Where is the use
j of acting niggardly in this, the greatest beb
nevolent enterprise of the age? But why
- confine a work of so much benevolence to
1 benighted Africa ? Why not bring the mill
ions of India and of China, the Sons of Ja'
pan, the Cannibals of the Isles, the Lapland2
er and the Turk ?
1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
- From India's coral strand,
f From Afrie's sunny fountains,
f Bring all to this good land.
TllPV all nepil fifllvnt.inn onrl if tun ?! ?
^ ing to re-open the slave trade to Africa, that
her poor, sable sous may enjoy the light of
the Gospel, why not send round our benevolent
ships to nil other Jonds and bring the
benighted of all lauds to slavery and salva\
tion ?
( If the slave trade is opened again and any
more Africans brought to South Carolina it
| should be purely for the sake of doing good
i to them and not because they are needed lo
J tear up and destroy the soil, or for the safeI
ty of the Commonwealth.
According to the last Census, there are '
in Abbeville District, 6920 blacks, (slaves
5 and free) more than whites. If we nttend <
well to these in temporal and spiritual thincrs 1
we will do well. In the whole state of South j
I Carolina there are 110,381 blacks (slaves j
, and free) more than whites 1 No doubt j
^ hundreds of these are unable to answer the I
, question " who made you ?" They are liter- 1
j ally M without God and without hope iti the (
world." Here is a wide field for missionary
k woik, and wo would do welLto cultivate it. i
. It is already white to the harvest There is i
' no use of importing cargoes frOm Africa ]
and adding to the mass of moral putrefac- 1
I tion. If any are imported let them be ;
transported to the free States and Nebraska.
There is room for them there, and as the free i
t States are so fond of negroes, let Africa bo
; Bent to them, thoy will have their hands full i
j for once, and a door will be opened for them,
^ wide and effectual, to do good to the cokx1ed
race. We have as many slaves in South

Drunkenness, Somnambulism, 01
Foul Flay.
To eitlier ono or tho other of these cause;
is to ho attributed the fall of Simpson Berrj
from tho trestle at Newberry, on Thursday
night last. Simpson Berry was ono of the
prisoner^ mol important witnesses in the
case oftheStntfl JKviiino*
..
I for the murder of Jesse Scurry. He testified
to the fact that Scurry threw two pistols into
his buggy, before starting to Cross Roads
Church, in Newberry, on the day of the occurrence
of one of the difficulties between
the deceased and the prisoner, and his testimony,
doubtlessly, went far to strengthen
the jury in tlio conviction that Scuriy whs
contemplating an attack on Gunter. lie
had also been in the employ of Jesse Scurry,
as an overseer, during tho last year of his
life, which relation was dissolved by the
death of Scurry, and Simpson had engaged
his services for tho coming year to another
gentleman. So much in relation to t|ie
character and occupation of Simpson Berry.
On tho night of the eventful Thursday,
Simpson's room-mates report that ho was
perfectly sober when he retired to bed, at
about 11 o'clock at night, and strange to
say, ho was found under the trestle in a
mangled condition at an early hour on the
iics.1, muming, Having tallon a distance of
about thirty feet. Now tho question that
puzzles usis?how did Simpson Berry get to
tho trestle that night, and who or what is
to blame for his fall ? Four or five persons
lodged in the same room witlihim, but they
can give no account of the time or manner
of Simpson's exit from that room. Can any
body do it ? We must come to one of three
conclusions in tho premises, and first, that.
Simpson was either druuk and slipped out
of the room late at night, and as he "pnced
along upon the giddy footing" of the trestle,
stumbled and fell into the vortex below, or
secondly, tlmt ho was seized with a fit of
somnambulism, and was led by his evil spirit,
or some other spirit, to this dangerous
precipice, or thirdly, that some one who was
not pleased with Sijrnpson's testimony in the
Gv.nter case, having either gagged, or, by
some "foul potion," deprived him of reason,
bore him uvi tit armis" to tho trestle, and
pitched him from that lofty emiuence,
thus reeking their vengeance on him. This
last supposition, we learned, whilst in Newberry,
is agreeable to the account which Mr.
Berry himself gives of his fall. lie states,
we learn from good authority, that ho was i
forcibly seized and thrown from the trestle
?that he recognized tho man who 4id the |
deed, and if he should recover, -./ill dtsc'osc |
ma name, mit thinking <Ij.it his cJianoos for]
recovery are doubtful at present, lie persists
in refusing to Jo so. Strange idea!?that
Newberry is a a hard old District! It may
bo that the Ncwberriau or Newberry Sentinel
can throw some light upon the transaction.?We
shall see. " ...
Mr. Berry's physiefefot -jegorts him to be
in afgpry precarious condition. One of his
irmB was broken by th?ftkll, and one of his
legs so badly itojured as to make it necessary
to amputate it,* besides injuries upon other
parte of his body. We nope if it bo true
that Simpson was thrown from tha
thaithe scoundrel who did it, may be detected?tried
for his life?and that the setdiet
of the. Jury may not read Uf*ror Gentry."?Southern
