WOOD-LAWN RETREAT.
ri>HK subscriber invites the attention ot thepub-
J lie to this place of entertainment. It is de
signed s.i'eiv t'«r ladies and gentlemen, and no
sinus* m< atsare practised there, which are unfit tor
the observa ion of ladies. It does not become him
to sp> ak of the diuners which he can furnish at the
enortest notice, though he has at all times, all the
luxuries shut the Richmond market and the country
round the city can afford; nor of his wines, though
he challenges comparison with any cellar in Vir
ginia ; nor of the recreations and amusements which
his 3ue>its wiil rind there, though they sremnumrr.
<;us as they are innocent; no of thf; accommoda
tions, catur&! and artificial, which the Retreat af
lords. All he wishes is, that the public will come
and see, and if they do not say, that it is the very
place the town has always wanted, and situated at
the very distance at which it ought to be situated,
he will Ite willing to acknowledge that has de
ceived hiiuse f, and thereby cheated others. It is
at the projer distance, tor it is three miie9 from
town; it is in the proper situation, for it is on the
Brooke Turnpike, a fine carriage road, it is proper
ly fixed, for the rooms are on the most approved
m dern scale for convenience, and fitted with a
luxury almost unknown in the country. But my
description can 6atistv no body. Come and see for
yourselves.

THE DAILY DISPATCH.
The Frozen Fairy.
A band of fairies, making a liVing tour by
moonlight, came suddenly upon the borders of
a northern forest. Alternate storms of snow
and rain had fallen, and left the frees enrobed
in garments'of virgin whiteness. The full
moon, shining brilliantly upon the thick
branches, and casting slauting shadows through
the dim aisles of ihe wood festooned with ici
cles ami paved with gems of frost, made ihe
scene one of dazzling splendor. The fairies
folded their rainbow colored wings, and gazed
in mute wonder, for never had they beheld
aught so gorgeous. But when the nighi
blast swept over ihem, they shuddered, and
bethought them of the warm light of their own
bright halis.
As they were departing, one of the fairies of
of the band came and bowed low before the
queen, murmuring, ' Aboon!"
'"What wilt thou?'" said the fairv sovereign,
touching the suppliant wiih her iinv sceptre.
"O. let me dwell in this beautiful place, gra
cious queen!" was the request.
"Fooiish one! wouldst thou forsake thy sis
ters for this cold, gliftering land? Then be is
so. Farewell!" And they sped lightly down
the valley.
The fairy, rejoicing in her new and splendid
lot, danced gaily uder the gleaming forest roof,
and sang many a rich carol among the
boughs, which arched over hei like a jewelled
canopy.
Ihe snow spirit listened with admiration to
her song, as it rang clear ard sweet through
the wood.
But long era the moon waned, her voice
faltered, and her step became languid. She
hud forgotten that her fragile form was made
for a sunnier clime, and might not bear the
chill aii which pervaded about her. Slowly
she yielded lo ihe piercing cold, and ut last
sank benumbed upon a snowwreath! Oh!
how she longed to nestle in the arms of oneol
her sisters, amid the silver; fountains and pe
rennial flowers of her own loved and lovely
fairyland. The snow spirits, in their spang
led robes, gathered about her. but their voices
were strnnge, and their breath fell like ice
upon her cheek. Ihe stars looked ilowu upon
her with cold, distant glance. Flashes of
radiance shot over and anon athwart the sky
above her, seeming to mock her agony. All
about her was glorious as the land of dreams;
but what was its brightness to her !
Faintly arose the lastcry of ihe fairy: "Sis
ters ! O, sisters ! take me home '—I aui
•ng!"
Humble, yet gifted one! sigh not to leave the
fond hearts, which encircle thee in thy lowly
home! Pine not for ;t dwelling in that '"land
of mysterious gleams," the wide and shining
land of Fame, ftlany are ihe souls whose
warm affections have been congealed by its
frigid air. Its splendoris wondrous, but delu
sive as the glittering ice-lorest, for all above,
arouud, and Leneath, is cold—freezing cold!
CONFESSION OF MATTHIAS SKUPIN
SKI.
The following confession was made by Mat
thias Skupinski 10 oneof his spiritual udvisois,
a few days previous to his execution.
THE TKL'E CONCESSION OF MATTHIAS fcKUPIN
SKI.
Celestin Willim, pastor, visited, on Monday,
the 2d inst., the cell of the condemned, us
usual, where he very confidentially made the
following confession to him as his confessor,
und which he specially desired to be made
public.
"I Matthias Skupinski, was born in thecir*
cuit of Olkus, in the kingdom of Russian Po
land, and am 28 years of age, and a smith by
profession. I lived in Upper Schlessin, in the
circuit Peunten, live years. At the time of the
brenkiug out of the revolution, in 1848, alCra
cow, I was there and took purl in it; two months
after which I and mv companions flrd t«
France From there i went to Switzerland,
where I remained eight months. There mo
ney was given me to travel to England. After
arriving there, I worked for six weeks as a
smith. In June 1849, I came in the ship Ro»
bert Bell to the Uuited States, and at the end
of August I landed in New York. I there
woiked one year in Cherry street. During
this time I got into a quarrel with a man from
Canada, and challenged him to fight u duel
will) pistols. The man, in his tear, had me
arrested, und 1 was arrested and confined in
prison six days. After this I became sick, and
remained so three weeks. On my recovery, 1
worked two months, and then found nothing
more to do; which caused me to travel to Bal.,
tiinore, where 1 also remained two months
without any employment. I then traveled
back to Philadelphia, where, on the first day
1 became acquainted with Johann Kaiser,
who offered u.e his house, which I accepted.
He had some furniture, but he was so poor
that 1 was necessitated to purchase the neces
saries of life for ourselves. So we lived to
gether for three weeks.
"One day John Kaiser reluted t<t nie that he
was acquainted with a young man who sold
jewelry, and he hud it desire to rob him. He
engaged the young man, numed Lehman, to
call at the house. On his arrival with jewelry,
Kaiser examined the various articles, but pur
chased only a thiinble, w iih the excuse that his
sister was not at home, otherwise he would
purchase more. He engaged hiin to cull an
other time. 1 inquired of Kaiser why he again
engaged him to cull, as he did not intend to
purchase anything. Whereupon he answered
that he intended to kill hiui. I leuionstrultd
with hiin upon the great crime he designed to
commit, and he answered that 1 was too stu
pid to deter him Irotn his iutentions. The fol
lowing day the pedler boy came again. 1
mentioned to Kuiser, in the presence of Leh
man that it was not worth while to take his
life for the sake of the trifl tig articles he had.
We quarrelled with each other for halt an hour
when Leluiiuti asked the cause of this long
quarrel; whereupon Kaiser answered, "My
fiiend desires to purchase u gold watch, but I
w ill not give him any money lor tliut purpose.'
Kaiser then engaged him to come again, and
to bring u watch, which he would theu pur
chase.
"Lelitnun came again, but he was accompa
nied by a colored mull, and I slated lllut lite
watch brought was 100 heavy, and I did not
wish it. Tliia 1 said with the idea of deterring
Kuiser from iiia evil intentions. Upon thin he
becume very angry, and scolded me; but he
finally cnguged the pedler to come ag,.iiii ou
some other day. Ou ihis duy Kuiaer told me
a lid ti> brother Blaise, you shall go out to
day, und forever leave my house, so that 1 can
do tit 1 plru.-e. My brother Blaise went off to
work very early, but 1 did not go out until
about 10 o'clock. I returned about 3 o'clock
in the ufternoou, and found house closed,
and it «as only opened ufter Kaiser saw me
from a window. He conducted me into the
und locking tiie door, put the key into
bis packet I noticed that one ol Kaisers
boot* und his puntuloons were e|>otied
Wood. I inquired where it came from, and be
uiiswered lie had killed hiin. He showed me
a loij» knile, and threatened me toretMtn quiet
about the matter, or he would take bis and my
lite. I then Bwore with ao oath that 1 would
*»> nothing to nobody, and he then promised
me thirty piec«s of jewelry, with the condition
that 1 would assist him to curry the body to
>
•he wafer. I pot Fome water on the fire to
bf at, and Kuiaer in the meanwhile proceeded
to the cellar, and cut the body into a nnniber
of pieces. He made three separate handles,
occupying a space of an hour and a half. The
waier by this time was sufficiently warm, and
I than proceeded th >h ■ cellar and found some
few limbs of the body, but cannot tell whether
they were hands or feet. There was also a
large of blood on the floor of the cel
lar. After ibis Kaiser came out of the cellar
and gave me the promised thirty pieces of
jewelry, partly rings, and other trifling mat
ters. and requested me »o say nothing of the
whole affair to my brother.
"On the evening of ihe same day, about twi
light, Kaiser gave me a bag. containing parts
of (he corpse; betook two bandies, and to
gether we carried them to the river Arriving
at the Bhore,l delivered the bag fo Kaiser, and
left him, going directly home to the house.—
Not far from (he door, I met Blaise, who had
ju?t returned from his work. He inauired of
me where Kaiser was ; I answered, 1 did not
know. We then entered the house and went
to bed. After 11 o'clock Kaiser came home.—
Three days after, Blaise and 1 left the house
and rented another."
The above is the true declaration of Mat
thias Skupinski, faithfully translated into the
German language by the undersigned. Every
thing el*e previously stated in the public j.mr
nali*, and especially the statements published
on the 2d of August, we can only call untrue.
It is to be regreited that even high officials
were not spared therein.

LATER FROM TEXAS.
The cotton crop throughout Texas contin
ues to be as promising as it possibly could be.
Unless the worm should make its appearance
within a few days, the product will greatly
exceed that of any past season.
Capt. Roach,formerly of the steamer Bra
zos, was shot and dungerously wounded in
Galveston, on the 26tli ult., by a man named
1 hos. Riciiards. A sudder, altercation took
place between the paities at a bur; Richards
struck Roach with a tumbler, and Roach
knocked him down and beat him. Richards
then got a pistol and shot Roach, the ball en
tering bis face just below the temple, and
ranging down to the neck, where it is lodged.
The wound was considered very dangerous.
Richards has been air.'sted.
The Indianola Bulletin of the 22d ultimo,
mentions the arrival af that port of the schoon
er Arispe with one hundred thousand feet, and
the schooner Elizabeth withstventy five thou
sand feet of lumber. The former's cargo is
designed for the cunstiuction of the city wharf
and warehouse.
Capt. J. B. Reid, of Victoria county, has
commenced picking cotton. His crop is very
promising, and so far free 'rom the worm.
The Victoria Advocate says the cholera has
entirely disappeared from that place, only two
or three cases having occurred within the pre
vious week, and none within several days.—
The general health of the country, so far as
is known, is good.
Not long since a m in by the name of Colle
was killed in New Braunfels by a fellow Ger
man, named Volker. The cause ol the ren
contre originated, as we learn, from some old
difficulty arising out of the transaction of Ihe
German Emigrant Association, of which Colle
was former agent.
The Murshall Republican says that a man
by the name of bamuel G. Ward, was arrest
ed in lhat place on the 15th ultimo, charged
with passing a forg*d draft. The draft pur
ported to be drawn by Jumes Low Sc Co., of
New Orleans, and accepted by them. Suspi
cions hud been previously excited in relation
to his movements, and having hired a horse
from a livery stable, to go a lew miles in the
country, and informution having been received
that he was traveling in a different direction,
he was pursued and arrested n mile or two
beyond Greenwood, La. After being brought
back he was suffered to walk about town un
molested, and in a day or two absconded.—
He was found the next day concealed in a
stable, aud committed fo jail in default of a
thousand dollars hail. '
Affairs in Tkxab.—The St. Louis Re
publican has a private letter from Browns
ville. Texas, which contains some interesting
information :
" You are well acquainted with the fillibua
tering movements of (he last year or two on
this frontier; but unless you should come
here, you coultl not foim a correct idea of the
evils ttlev have entailed upon the people along
the Uio Grande. Before they commenced, k
huge und flourishing trade was carried on
with the people of Mexico, and Brownsville
was doing a business of some six or seven
millions ol dollars yearly. Now it. amounts to
scarcely as many thousands: And all who
c#n tiud nioiey enough to take"tftem to New
Orleans, are leaving the country. Most of the
men of property are now heartily disgusted
with the part they have been playing, and
wish for the return of the good old tunes ; but
like the owner ol the goose of golden egg no
toriety, they find, too late, that they have de
stroyed their bird. All confidence and friendly
feeling on the part of the Mexicans are eradi
cated, and it will lie a long time ere the incur
sions of the filibusters will be forgotten.—
This is certainly the highway for tiade into
the interior ol Mexico, and steps should he
taken to clear it of (he present impediments."
\Vm. Bambek, recently burned to death in
Albany, had a most singular presentiment of
evil w'lieu he left his young wile on that fatal
evening. It hud been lor some time his con
viction that heahould die a violent death, and
an hour before his deuih he mentioned the
violent late of several relatives. Several
limes during tlie day of the accident, he ex
pressed presentiments of immediate evil, and
talked aiiout making u will, looked over hi*
accounts, die. Wl.en he left his wife at Cnt,
he leiurned, ami made her repeat some music,
hesitated, then kissed her, and suid he would
he buck immediately. He wai goon after
brought home a blackened, burued and dying
tuan.

The AhTor Thwki.ig.—One of tb« best
modes of improving the art of thinkirif is to
think over some subject before you read upon
it, and then observe after what manner ft baa
occurred to the mind of some great master:
you will then observe what you hare omitted
and what you have exceeded; and by this pro
cess you will insensibly catch the manner in
which a great mind views a great question. It
is right to study, not only to think, when an ex
traordinary incident provokes you to think, but
from time to time to review what has passed, to
dwell upon it, and to see what trains of thought
voluntarily present themselves to jour mind.
It is a most superior habit in some isinds to
refer all the particular truths which strike
them to other truths more general, as that
their knowledge is beautifully methodized, and
the particular truth at once leads to the gen
eral truth. This kind of understanding basaa
an immense and decided superiority over those
confused heads in which one fact is piled up
on another without any attempt at classifica
tion or airangement.—Sidney Smiih.
Death or _I>r. Treat.—We have seldom
been more pained and shocked, than we were
at hearing of the decease of Dr. John Jay
who died yesterday, (Friday) morning about 6
o'clock. On the morning previous, he wasat
tacked with decided symptoms of cholera,
he attempted to control by his own
prescriptions. He was 44 years of age, and
leaves a wife and two children.—Roche tier
American.
The Late Judge De Vuci.—We learn
that che will of the lute Judge De Veaux, of
Niagara Falls,was opened yesterday. In it was
found a provision appropriating the bulk o( the
property, amounting to some $200,000, for the
establishment and endowment of an education*
al institution at Mount Eagle, a point on the
river al>out three miles below the Falls.—Buf

denial ; inen add one quart of the juice of reeo

it inio the golden bowl, (memory)—if the
golden bowl be not broken—then sweeleb it
with the sugar of high reputation. A dram of
the.se bitters may be taken as often as the ap
petite crave# strong drink. A larger portion
of juice may be added, if necessary; and if
one bowlful should not perfect a cure, it must
be filled up again with the same kind. The
longer one takes these bitters the less bitter
lliey will taste.
Shocking Occurrences.—The Caddo (L*.)
Gazette says that several shocking murders
have recently been committed in the* vicinity of
Natchitoches. A white woman whose name
was not given, was found inurderedin her own
house, and on the next duy, in the same house,
or on the same place, two negroes were mur<
dere.l.and on the following day, or a few days
afterwards, a white man, whose name we did
not learn, was found not far from the same
house with his tongue cut out. He cannot
write and at last accounts he had not been
able to afford any clue to the perpetrator of the
savage act. The whole matter is enveloped in
t he most pro'ounJ mystery.
Melancholy Casualty.—The Literary
Vade Mecum, published at Buena Vista, Geo
rgia, says an interesting child, about three years
old, of Mr. Benajah Peucock, residing some
four or five miles from that town, was so se
verely stung by bees one day week before last,
that it died the next morning. It appears that
the parents of the child were not at the house
at the time, nnd the child had gone near where
a swarin of bees had settled, and perhaps iiri*
lated them, when they flew upon it, and be
fore it could be rescued, it had been so severe*
ly stung, as to cause its death.
, A colored servant to one of our able divines
was on one Sunday observed by his master t»
be very busy writing during the discourse.—
After service the clergyman asked Petdr: '
"What was you doing with your papef
pencil all the forenoon, Peter ?"
"Takin' notes, massa." „
"Let me see them."
"Ya ya yas t massa," said Peter, a* he passed
over the paper. The man of God{azed at it
for a short time and exclai/nerf,
"Pshaw, Peter! that's all nonsense!"
,"Go|iy," responded Peter, "dat'sj«*s what I
t'ougbt all de time you was preach in'!"
Not long since, two ladies were qj) a down*
ward trip, on board a Missouri steamer. One
of them had a baby abmii months old.—
She said her husband had been gone to Cali
fornia about two years and a hall'.
"How old is that baby said the other.
"About three months okl."
