HOW sw<'et is friendship when sincere,
How sweet to nnd that Jtiendship afar,
Wh'in sunk In pain or grief—
To hear ween we're with care oppresi'd,
liach sigh soft, echo'd in some breast
That pants to give relief.
Even in friendship's joyous hour,
E'en then ire own fair friaodKiip's pow'r,
Nor wish that power fieri —
For while ws roara wka rspiur'd eyes,
£ach fleeting moment swiiter flies
When we're by friendship !ed.
O would yon through life's vary'cg scsne,
Still find a friend on whom to lean,
On whom you can rely—
A single dollar but enclose,
I'll send a recipe thai shows
To make the best hair dye.

THE JACKDAW.
There ia a bird who, by his coat,
And by the harshness of his note,
Might be soppased a crow;
A great frequenter of the church,
Where, bishop-like, he finds a perch,
And dormitory too.
Above the st*eple shines a plate,
That turns and turns to indicate
B'rom what point blows the weather;
Look up, your brains begin to swim,
'Tis in the clouds—that pleasas him;
Ha chooses it the rather.
Fond of the speculative height,
Thither he wings his airy flight,
And thence securely sees
The bustle and the raree-show
That occupy mankind below,
Secure and at his ease;
You thiak, no doubt, he Sts and muses
On future broken bones and bruises,
If he should chance to fall;
No: not a single thought like that
Empiays his philosophic pate,
Or troubles it at all.
He sees th»t this vast roundabout,
The world, with all its motley rout,
Charch, army, physic, law,
Its customs and its businesses
Are no concern at all of his,
And says—what lays he?— Caw'
Thrice happy bird! I too have seen
Much of the vanities of men.
And, sick of having seen 'em
Would cheerfully these limbs rosign
For such a pair of win ft as thine,
And such a h-?ad between 'em.
Indications of Weather, as shows bt
Animals, Insects and Plants —An interest
ing paper was read at the recent meeting of the
American Association for the Advancement of
Science, held at Cleveland, showing the possi
bility of foretelling the weather, by observing
natural facts. Migratory birds, in the spring,
if the season is to be windy, thatch the straw
and leaves on ilie inside of the nest, between
the twigs and the lining; and if it be very
windy, they get pliant twigs and bind the nest
firmly to the limb, securing all the small twigs
with their ealivas. If they fear the approach
of a rainy season, they build their nests 60 as
to be sheltered from the weather; but if a plea
sant one, they build in the fair, open place,
without taking any extra precautions. Snails
do not drink, but imbibe moisture in their bo
dies during a rain At regular periods after
the rain they exude this moisture from their
bodies, but are careful not to exude more than
is necessary it a time. They are seen abroad
about two days before a rain, when they as
cend the stems of plants n«d the bark of trees.
If it bn a lons and a hard rain, they get on the
sheltered side of the leaf, but if a short one,
they gel on the outside. Some species of these
insects also change their color after a rain,
growing lighter colored as they exude the
moisture. The leaves of trees ire even good
barometers; most of them for a short, light
rain, will turn up so as to receive their fill of
water; but for a long rain, they are so doubled
as to conduct the water away. The Rana,
Bufo and Hyla are alao sure indications of
rain; for, as they do not drink water, but ab
sorb it into their bodies, they are sure to be
found out the time they expect rain. The Lc
custa and Gryllus are also good indicators of
a storm. A few hours before ths rain they are
to be found under the leaves of trees in the
hollow trunks.
Washington County.—We see by the last
Abingdon papers, that the court of Washington
county —all the justices present—have autho
rised a subscription of $4,000 to the Russell old
court house road, authorized to be made by a
recent act of the Virginia Legislature. Wash
ington is the oldest county in the United States,
that bears the name of the "Father of his
Country;" and if devotion to the cause of inter
nal improvements is a recommendation, she
well deserves the illustrious title she bears.—
The county subscription to the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad, is $34,000; and the private
subscriptions of individuals residing there, ex.
ceeds $100,000.
Frightful Accident —Sunday last, as
Mr. John Fern ell, of Philadelphia, was about
crossing a bridge, near Wheeling, in a buggy,
with his wife and child, the horse became
frightened at a drove of cattle, and commenced
leaping, when Mrs. F. jumped out with the
child. The horse, which was blind of an eye,
jumpeH off the parapet wall of the bridge on
the blind side, to the ground below, a distance
of 30 feet. The horse was unhurt. Mr. F.
escaped with the dislocation of an arm at tha
elbow.
C. VV. Pearson, oveiseer lor Leonard Roe*
baugh, of Fayette county, Tennessee, was mur
dered on the 25ih alt, Audy, a negro man
belonging to Mr. R., was arrested under cir
cumatances that left little doubt that he was
tbe murderer.

Thuridat, August 4fb, 1853. $
Messrs. Editors!—A travelling newspaper
correspondent and ex editor from the North,
arrived in your pleasant city, for the first time
in his life, ia induced lo offer a few notes by the
way, for insertion in your interesting paper.
Wherever I go find the gentlemen of the presa
foremost in the points of intslligence, courtesy
and liberelity; and it is to them among the first
that I am hence induced to pay my respects.
I hare just ended a visit of nearly three weeks
to Norfolk, with which place, in many respects'
1 was well pleased. After hastily looking at
its capabilities, I am unable to see why it should
not speedily become one of the marrmrth places
of the country. I cannot see why,since it has
been as greatlv favored by nature as Boston.
I fancy that it its principal men bad a little
more of the libeiality and public spirit which
distinguish the merchant princes of the New
England metropolis, it would do them no harm.
Norfolk, however, is evidently looking up, in
the best sense of the phrase. Aware of the ad
vantages of her position as a stand point of de
livery, so to speak, between a broad and fertile
section of the South, and the Northern States,
sne is gradually but steadily proceeding to de
velop her resources, and to avail herself of her
neb commercial facilities. In the single matter
of shipping fruit and early vegetables to the
Worth, she is doing an enormous businees.—
One of her produce traders, I was told, had this
season cleared the snug little sum of $5000 in
sending early cucumbers to the North. A cool
operation ait round, especially if they arrived
and were eaten in the hot.est daya in June
If newspapers always exert an enlightening
influence, the good people of Nn r f o ik must
cessanly dwell upon the acme of intelligence
They have no less than five daily pape% all
in full blast—some of them of pretty Urze
size. Portsmouth, a close neighbor of Norfolk
has one daily, and somebody, I notice, has
just commenced the daily playing of a iiemo
cratic organ there. In Norfolk, I paid my re
3pects at the sanctums of the Herald, Argus
and News, and at the Beacon Reading Room,
at each of which places I was received with a
courtesy worthy of the craft.
For nearly three weeks at Norfolk, it has
rained almost without intermission. The old
est inhabitants say that thsy never knew quite
such an extensive wet spelf before, at this sea
un of the year. Probably the people of that
eiiy will be glad to enjoy the present interval
•f pleasant weather.
The new Mayor of Norfolk, Mr. Woodis,
appears to regard all the laws as passed fir
use, and none for show. He is quite courteous,
but carries things with a Dretty rigorous hand.
This course is acceptable to the citizens ge
nerally. who regard their late Mayor, Mr.
Stubbs, as one of the best of men, but not as
having held a sufficiently tight rein in his man
agement of disturbers of the public peace.
Strong expectations were entertained about
a fortnight since thut President Pierce would
visit Norfolk; preparations were commenced
to receive him, and both the heads of the peo
ple and the good every day folks, were pre
paring to greet the Chief Magistrate with fit
ting cour'esy. It has since been ascertained
that the President will not leave Washington
at present.
I came on in the steamer Curtis Peck, which
your readers need not be told, is a fine, fast
boat. We had a very pleasant company on
board; among the passengers being Hon Henry
A Wise; Col McCandlish, of Williamsburg; S
T Sawyer, Collector at Norfolk, and fam
ily, and Mr Hall, the noted and wealthy book
seller of the same city.
Respectfully yours,
I>el Norte.
Correspondence ef the Dlnpttch,
Fredkricesidkg, August 3,1853
Messrs. Editors:
Gentlemen —The Profsssors of the Southern
Female Institute have determined to remove
the Institution to your city, and the determina
tion is a cause of general regret among our ci
tizens. But we have not th« power to control
their actions, nor are we fully acquainted with
th« motives by which they are prompted.—
Good ones they aie, no doubt, anu we feel
happy to know that they have made auch ar
rangements as will cause them to enter upon
their labors in Richmond under good auspice:).
We learn that they hive secured the servi
ces of Mrs. General Pegratn, justly a favorite
of your city, as a matron of tne Institute, and
with the aid of a French lady of fine attain
ments, Professors Powell and Morrison wiil
undoubtedly conduct au educational establish*
men! which has never had its superior in your
city. We were among the invited guests iu
tbi? place at the close of the last session, when
the diplomas were awarded. The exercises
were opened by a beautiful and fervent prayer
from the Rev. Mr. Krebs; after which, Prafej.
sor Powell, in some introductory remurks, ex
plained the reasons why diplomas were consi
dered necessary for those who had attained the
necessary proficiency in their studies. The
venerable Judge Lomax, after a few eloquent
and feeling remarks, then presented the follow
ing young ladies with diplomas: Miss Mary P
Burnley, of Mississippi; Miss Mary A Gwath
mey, King William, Va; Miss Bettie J Mason
Falmouth, and Misses E IS Barton, EJ C Bat
ton, E T Buggett, Mary Cunningham, A M
Goolrick, Attawa Johnston, V S Knox, L F
Rowe, Sallie A White, A P Whittemore, M L
Whittemore, Ellen M Herndon, Catharine V
Wellford, Lucy R Gtay and A S Gray, of
Fredericksburg.
It reqairesan attendance of four sessions,
and per eel s.udies, to gain a diploma. Many
youag ladies had attended only two'sessions,
aud will receive their diplomat at the end of
next year. Others had left before th# close of
this session lor their homes, and, of course,
were not entitled to such. We bespeak for
this Institution the consideration of your citi
zens.
This subject has exhausted my paper, and 1
have only room to say that Mr, Worrell, engi
neer elect of the Fredericksburg and Gordons
ville Riilroad, having declined to serve, tbe
President and Directors have put tbe superin
tendence of the road under Mr. Latrobe, the
eminent engiceer, whose efficient corps will
soon commence operations.
1 hi; weather it hot, and many of our citizens
are leaving for cooler quarters. Youts, Jtc.
Esskx.
BP* The Staunton Spectator, noticing the
advent of the locomotive Frederick Harris in
the Valley, remarks that it cioned tbe moon

The Timet drops politics for the day, and
devotes «, colarana to news and miscellany.
1 he Mail has an article upon the character,
talents and attammeats cf Mr. Rites, it is
highly eulogistic of this distinguished states
man.
The Enquirer, like the Whig, is pretty much
occupied with the publication of the Profeaaors
of the Medical College. The Enquirer haa an
article upon the affair, of Europe and |becOß .
dition and proapecta of oar country. The En
quirer still thinks there will be no'war oat of
the present issue between Turkey and Russia -
but it augurs from the popular discontents and
the vagaries of Absolutism in Europe, there
will be continued struggles between the peopla
and their rulers, that will be deeply interesting
to us.
Telegraphic. —We have already announce
ed the appointment ef S. Mowry, jr., a promi
nent merchant of Charleston, S. C, as Presi
dent of the Washington and Now Orleans tele,
graph company. He is said to be a gentleman
of energy and capacity. If so, wa trust be
will show these qualifications by reforming the
line between this city and Washington, which
is in a most defective and feeble condition.
I5F* Mr. Evere t, late Secretary of State, is
generally known ns a gentleman of extensive
information, and one who will not "speak with
out book" on important subjects involving sta
tistical facts. From a computation of his, it
appears that the use of alcoholic beverages
cost the United States directly, in ten years,
$120,000,000; has burned or otherwise destroy*
ed $5,000,000 worth of property, has destroyed
300.000 lives; sent 250,000 to prison, and 100,-
000 children to the poor house; caused 1,500
murders, and 5,000 suicides; and has bequeath
ed to the country 1,000,000 orphan children.
A personal difficulty has just been se>
tied in Charleston, S. C., between Messrs.
Alfred M. Rhett and Isaac M. Dwight. The
latter in a publication in one of the Charles*
ton papers aaimidverted upon the political
opinions of Mr. R. B. Rhett, the father of Mr.
A. M. Rhett, and Mr. A. Mi R. considered this
animadversion personally offensive, and there
upon published a cord which led to a chal
lengefrom Mr.Dwight. Mutual friends inter
fered and through their influence all the hos
tile papers were withdrawn so as to leave the
case disembarrassed with nothing but Mr.
Dwight'a original article. Young Mr. K.
then demanded of Mr. D. if he intended aay
imputation or personal offence to Mr. R. B.
Rhett in this article, and upon Mr. D.'s die
claiming any such intention, the matter was
honorably|settled.
The Amaxon.—The Washington Republic
gives a rumor that the Secretary of the Nary
haa granted a two years furlough io Lieutenant
Porter, of the Navy, wbc, it is rumored is to
take command of squadron fitted out by emi
nent merchants of New York and elsewhere #
toaacend the Amazon river, and make explo
rations preliminary to the establishment of
commercial relations with the rich country
drained by its tributaries. The Republic, al
ludes to the story that Brazil-, who commands
the mouth of the river, will resist the passage
of the vessels, and says if they are resisted
they will fight their way up.
GF* The Staunton Spectator believes that
the cars will not be put upon the railroad, be
tween Waynesborough and Staunton, until
the temporary track across the Mottntaia is
completed, which will be in December.
Burglary and Djispkhatb Fight with ram
Eubqlabs.—The residence of Mr J \V Maury, fa
Wt'mlngtoa, Del, was entered by twe tana
Thursday night last. Two you a; men, aimed
McNair and Nones, sleeping in the boose at tks
time, were aroused by the noise made by die bur

who were athletic feliowt, and fired levari? shots
