TTNPER the above title of the 'Southern Tio
U neeb," we propose to publish in the town of
Carroilton, a new Weekly Taper, devoted to Tolitks.
,oth State and National, Agriculture,' tl.e current
news of the day, and the advancemc .t of the great
Iausc of Education. This paper will be devoted to
w hat its conductor believes to be the best interests of
the State andcoufity.; It will advocate the great: Whig
n!o which vcuhavc recently seen so signally trium
phant. - Believing, that the principles put forth by the
Irreat Wliig party ;as the tenets of its political creed,
Ire the only true ones on which this Government was
( ri'niially lounded,' and on which it should oe admin
istered, this paper will lend to those principles, when
ever and wherever espouod, its h amble but cordial
support. "i - ; . , ; . '
No man or set of men, will bo by us unscrupulously
sustained at the expense of principle," "Principles
sot men," is our motto by this rule shall we be gov
cjietKaml in subjecting all to this test, we shall as we
tnd them, judge with impartiality, admonish with
cindor. and reprehend-with justice. As humble Pio
i.cers in the 1 great cause of political truth, we shall
tver point to the cardinal virtues of a representative
ilovernment. But, the interests of our State, aud
n;ore particularly of our county, shall receive at our
hinds a constant and an earnest advocacy. While
our sbter counties have been the objoct of Legislative
rtion, and Executive patronage, the county of Carroll
hs remained comparatively unknown and unappre
ciated. It shall therefore be our pride, as well as our
duty, to develope its vast resources and point out, its
numerous advantages. The cause of education, the
cause of enlightened and progressive civilization, the
only true bulwark of a nation's freedom, shall receive
that attention its importance demands. In fine, as
iiuinl'le Pioneers in the great crusade against igno
rance and error, we shall shoulder our mattock and
j!,ovel, and taking our place in ihe great march of
rtxlern improvement, our course shall ever be as Mar
r.ion said to Stanly, 4 Onward."

the everlasting crowd of folks all the way from
the Ohio, till we struck along the edge of old
Pcnnsylvany when we heard folks beginning
to talk about hard .money, ana paper money,
and resumption, and suspension, and things of
that natur, when says I; "Gineral, you may de
fend there is trouble- brewing some w he re's
along here, and it you say so," says I, "I'll just
quit you for a spell and take a turn down to
Philadelfy, and look into the matter a little, and
jine you at wasrnngton." "Well," says he,
"Major, seeing as how. folks begin to thicken
amazingly around US', my calklation is you
won't be much mist, but see that vou cit to
Washington as soon as possible, and in mean
time let me know all you meet with worth
hearing," and so I quit, and as the Gineral nev
er wants to know nothing more than the peo
ple know themselves, I send you this letter to
print, and you will please send a copy on't to
the Gineral, so that he( will know as much as
other folks do about it.
I got here last evening jist arter lamp light
ing and took a run round to most all the banks
to see if I could find any on 'em open, but I
found 'em all locked up and bright lamps burn
ing afore the-doors, and good strong broad
shouldered watchmen standing at their posts
with clubs and rattles jist for all the world as
tho' the banks was as full of specie payments
as ever, and not a mite of difference.
I stopt and had a leetle talk with one of
these watchmen, and says I, "stranger is there
no gittingin here to. see folks?" "Not to-night,"
says he, "all the banks are shet up." "How
vou talk," says I, and so I streak'd it round to
Squire Biddle's premeses, for I had a notion if
1 could only git a fair talk with the Squire, I
I would larn pritty much all abgqt the matter
ITounil the Snuire to hum. and he was ama-
zin clad to see me; and he and I went right
up into a room alone, where I found a good
warm Lehigh coal fire burning, and a table
kivered with papers; and he took one .chair
and I another, and. we went at it straight off.
"So," says I, "Squire, you are all suspended
auain.I larn." "Yes," says he, "Major, the folks
who wanted hard'money have got all the Banks
had to give them; and as the Banks can't coin
hard money, and can only git it from the folks
who owe them, it turns out that, as the Banks
have not got the same power by the law to
make folks pay them as fast as the other folks
want it, the pond must run dry for a spell."'
"But," says- -Ir 'Squire,, how on. airth is it
that things work so that one set. of folks keep
drawing out of the spiggot faster than other
folks pour into the bung-hole? Now how is
it?" . . ...
This set the Squire scratching-his head and
thinking and to give him time to answer, I
took the poker and began poking up his lehigh
cool fire, to see if there was any fee in it; and
to rights says he, "Major, what are you pok-
inrr 1 lint firo for? Do vou expect to make it
burn brighter? If you will take my advice,"
savs he. " von will let it alone. Aint the room
warm enuf!" "Yes," says I, 'it's warm'enuf,
but a little poking wont do any harm Avill it?"
"Well, says he, "you go on jmnvng, auu
you will see," and sure enuf, ;the more I pok
ed, the darker the fire and coal got; and bime-
bv it all. went, out. . "Well " says I, "Squire,
this is a plagy odd kind of. fire of your'n,"says
I, "Yes," says he', "Ws Pennsylvany coal; it
won't stand poking, Major, if you let it alone
it will uburn slowlytand surely, and give out
comfortable heal, but it folks go to poking
it, it turns and looks black at them, and gives
them a cold shiver."
; Let 'his politics' be"' what they will, Jack is
Certainly, happier, in his instances tkan any
body else. Mr. B's lecture. upon the. coal 'fire
and the banks, will be easily guessed at. . He
starts thei ' fire again and by preventing the
poker from- being inserted, a cheerful blaze is
given out, and Jack and Mr Biddle indulge

Anecdote of the Revolution. An elderly cler
gyman, wrio was a soldier ot the Revolution,
is writing a series of interesting letters for the
Philadelphia North American. Among other
anecdotes, he tells one of a militia general
named Wines, we do not recollect to have
seen before. Wines had seen service under
the lamented Montgomery at Quebec; was a
man ot gigantic iramc and strength, and no
one doubted his courage; but the most remark
able thing about him was his voice; it excee
ded in power and efficiency, for it was articu
ulate as well as loud, every other human voice
the writer had ever heard, lie met a strong
foraging party of British troops in the winter,
of which New Brunswick in New Jersey, was
their head quarters. He came in sight of this
party suddenly, as it was approaching a hill
of which he had just taken possession with a
far inferior force to that of his enemy. He
made the best display of his troops that he
could, and before the British came within mus
ket, shot, he thundered out at the top of his
voice: "Open to the right and left, and let the
field pieces come in." The British were with
out pieces as well as himself, but expecting a
deadly fire from the American artillery, they
faced to the right about and hastily retreated.

A LEAP YEAR STORY.
"But why don't you get married?" said a
bouncing girl, with laughing eyes, to a smooth
faced innocent looking youth who blushed up
to the eyes at the question. , .
"VVell, 1" said the youth stopping short
with a gasp,' and fixing his eyes upon vacancy
with a puzzled and foolish expression.
"Well, go on, you what?" said the fair cross
questioner,almost imperceptibly inclining near
er to the young man. "Aow just tell me right
straight out, you what?" ' '
"Why I O pshaw, I on't know!"
"You do, I say yov po now, come I want to
know." .iV
"O! I can't th'ip'u "
"Isayyor. h?' Why you know I'll never

"And 1 am sure I always thought you liked
me," went on the maiden in tender and mello w
accents. . . '
"O, I do upon my word yes, indeed I do,
Maria," said the unsophisticated youth, very
warmly, and he found that Maria had uncon
sciously placed her hand in his open palm.
Then there was a silence.
"And then well, John?" said Maria, drop
ping her eves to the ground.
"JEh! Oh well?" said John dropping his
eyes and Maria s hand at the same moment.
"I'm pretty sure you love somebody, John-
in fact," said Maria, assuming again a tone of
raillery, "1 know you're in love, and John why
don't you tell me all about it at once"
"Well, I "
"Well I! O, you silly mortal what is there
to be at raid ol?"
"O, it aint because I'm afraid of any thing
at all, and I'll well now Maria, I wnl tel

by tne hand and looking m her face with
most imploring expression.

and the cherry lips of Maria were so near

Squeezing the hand. Squeezing the hand
with some persons is entirely equivalent to a
declaration of love; this is truly surprising.
We must take , hold ot a lady's hand like we
should a hot potatoe: afraid to give it a squeeze,
lest we should burn our fingers. Very fine,
truly! Now it was our ancient custom to
squeeze every hand we got into our clutches,
especially a fair one; and the ladies may rest
assured of this, that a man who will not
squeeze their hand when he gets hold of it,
does not deserve to have such a hand in his
possession, and that he has a heart one hundred
times smaller than the eye ot a cambric nee
die. .- ; :
And old Anecdote as good as any of the new
ones. Many years ago, m Uonnecticut, ascer
tain Justice was called to a jail, to liberate a
worthless debtor by receiving his oath that
he was not worth five pounds. "Well Johnny,
said the Justice,'as he entered, "can you swear
you are not worth five pounds, and never will
be?" - "Why," answered the other, rather cha
grined at the question,"! can swear that I am
not worth that amount at present. "Well,
well," returned the Justice, "I can swear the
rest step forward Johnny."
Sufficient. A parishioner complained to
his minister, that his pew was too far from the
puloit. and said -that he must purchase one
1 j
nearer. "Why," asked the clergyman, "can
you hear distinctly?" "O ves, I can hear wel
enough." "Can't you see plainly?" "Yes,
can see perfectly well." "Well then wha
can be the trouble?" , "Why, there are so ma
ny in front of. me, who catch . what you say
first, that by the time your words reach my
ears, they are as nat as aisn-waier.

RELATIONS WITH BRITAIN.
We call particular attention to the following
article which we copy, to-day from the, Madi
sonian of the 22d.1 January: " .
Ihe U. btates and Great Britain nearly
exclusively enjoy the valuable trade with the
continent-of Africa, but by no means with
equal advantages. American vessels wc un
de i stand, are constantly subject to ruinous
seizures and detentions by British crtiisersi
wnicn is no aouDt, gradually discouraging our
citizens from engaging in the trade. These
detentions and searches are made, it is said,
under the pretence of suspectinjr the Ameri-
cans to be slavers. We should be glad to know
how many cases oi this sort, if any, have come
o the knowledge ol the American. Govern
ment, and whetherMr. Van Buren has winked
at the conduct of the Brtish, or insisted upon
our iust rights? So often has our flacr been!
violated on the high seas, that foreign nations
seem to be careless of rights which they do
not see we have the energy to defend.
"We sec it stated in the Richmond Enquirer
that Mr. Van Buren has requested Mr. Steven
son, our minister at London, to remain at his
post, if possible, until a successor shall be ap
pointed. That paper thinks the claims of Mr.
Fox "will never be yielded, until every drop
of American blood has been poured forth."
The Philadelphia Standard is also somewhat
belligerent on the occasion. That paper asks:
Has ever a people been more egregiously
deceived about its dearest interests than the
American; andean any national crime equal
in magnitude the omission of preparing for
war, when common sense must have told
them that war must come, and that the drily
chance of avoiding it, was to prepare fdr the
worst?"
"Our foreign relations are assuming an im
portant and interesting aspect. If dilliculties
should increase, it will be fortunate for the
country that a successful military character
will be at the head of the Government, and a
commanding genius in the Dcpatment of
State."
"At Florence I seen Greenough's great wdrki
the statue of Washington. The design is
strikingly grand and appropriate both Re
publican and Christian. Washington is rep
resented seated in his chair, with one hand
resigning his sheathed sword, whilst with his
right he points to hcaveni in acknowledge
ment of that Providence who had given him
victory. The figure is just eight times the
size of life. On one corner of the pedestal mar-
attitude a small statue
an American Indian, a noble specimen of the
aborigines of our countrv. There are also two
bust reliets, one representing i hoc bus in the
chariot, and the other Hercules strangling the
serpent in the cradle. Mr: Greenough will
embark with his monument at Leghorn, on
board of the united States line-of-battle shin

A potatoe diet is found greatly to improve
the quality of the blood. 1 Hence roasted or
baked potatoes are successfully employed as a
specific against the sea-scurvey when other
remedies have failed. This discovery was
made in France. It is singular that boiled
potatoes do not seem to have the same gocd
effects.
