(BY G. W. H. BROWN. )
UNDER the above title of the "Southern Pio
neer," Ave propose to publish in the town of
fcarrollton, anew Weekly Taper, devoted to Politics.
Ixrth State and National, Agriculture, the current
news of the day, and the advancement of the great
cause of Education. This paper will be devoted to
what its conductor believes to be the best interests of
trie State and county. It will advocate the great "Whig
cause which you have recently seen so signally trium
phant. Believing, that the principles put forth by the
great Whig party as the tenets of its political creed,
are the only true ones on which this Government was
originally founded, and on which it should be admin
istered, this paper will lend to those principles, when
ever and wherever espoused, its hamble but cordial
support.
No man or set of men, will be by us unscrupulously
sustained at the expense of principle, "Principles
nor men," is our motto by this rule shall we be gov
erned, and in subjecting all to this test, we shall as we
find trcm, judge with impartiality, admonish with
candor, and renrehend with iustice.. As humble Pio-
feeers in the great cause of political truth, we shall
ever point to the cardinal virtues of a representative
Government. But, the interests of our State, and
more particularly of our county, shall receive at our
hands a constant and an earnest advocacy. While
our sister counties have been the object of Legislative
action, and Executive patronage, the county of Carroll
has remained comparatively unknown and unappre
ciated. It shall therefore be our pride, as well as our
duty, to dev elope 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
humble Pioneers in the great crusade against igno
rance and error, we shell shoulder our mattock and
shovel, and taking our place in the great march of
modern improvement, our course shall ever be as Mar
mionsaid to Stanly, '"On ward."

Not for those charms in matchless beauty glowing,
Not for those eyes beaming with heavenly light,
Not for those tresses on the soft breeze flowing,
-Black as the pinions of the shadeful night,
Not for the faithless beauties I deem thine,
My heart I give, Belle Caroline.
No! for all these are trifles of the hour,
Trifles that fade, as fades a dream away;
Andtho' the heart acknowledges their power,
The mind in sorrow feels they soon decay;
Virtue is richer than the Indian mine,
And that is thine, Belle Caroline.
1 oft have felt the heaven of ah eye;
Bent me unto the magic of a smile;
Listen'd with transport to a gentle sigh,
Happy that love could thus my thou'ts beguile;
But not a glance, a sigh, an eye like thine,
I e'er felt, Belle Caroline.
Fair girl, tW life seems richly bright before thee,
Blossoms snrinrr nprfumed uo to deck thy way;
Tho' sides are cloudless, friendship hovers o'er thee,
na copes, bright hopes stand tortnm ncn arruj
Think not of these, for pleasures more divine.
Await the good, Belle Caroline.

ALEXANDER JtlcjMBOD.
We copy the following from the JVew York
Journal of Commerce. It is from the brother
of Alexander McLeod, now imprisoned at
Lockport, New York, and awaiting his trial
upon a charge of murder and arson in the
aflair of the Steamboat Caroline.
We lay it before our readers because the
important consequences Involved in the affair,
have excited intense interest. Nash. Ban.
Kingston, U. C. Feb. 1841.
Gentlemen: "I have read in the Kings-
ton Chronicle ot yesterday a letter signed,
"Justice & Peace," on the subject of the Car
oline, extracted from your journal, together
with vour remarks on the same subject, both
of which have so much pleased me, by their
just views of the case, and the spirit of candor
in which they are written, that 1 cannot re
frain from laying before you, and should you
think proper, beiore the public, the following
statement of facts:
With the right or policy of destroying the
Caroline, 1 have little or nothing to do. On
this side of the line, the right is questioned by
few, and I have little doubt the time is not far
distant when it will also be acknowledged by
the thinking and impartial amongst our citi
zens. Be that as it may, public opinion on
either side is evidently not the proper tribunal
for a decision of the question: but from the
singular position in which my brother is pla
ced in connection with this case, his friends
must take a deep and painful interest, and this
must be my excuse for thus intruding upon
you; for although it were folly in me suppose
I can, to any extent, influence men's minds in
the matter, yet I consider it my duty to give a
plain unvarnished statement in regard to my
brother's alleged participation in the act for
which he stands committed, as far as I am able,
and to "correct certain mis-statements which
will be hereafter alluded to.
On the 29th December, 1837, my brother
and myself, and thousands besides, were at
Chippewa, for the purpose and with the de
termination of defending our country against
any attack from several hundreds of rebels
and pirates assembled on Navy Island. In the
course of the day, a small steamboat was seen
plying between Schlosser and the Island, evi
dently busy in the cause of the occupants.
She was rightly conjectured to be the Caro
line, which it was well known had been get
ting ready for the purpose for several days be
fuic aiBuflUlo. Any patriotic mind. canea'sily
conceive the feelings, which the sight of this
boat and her occupation engendered in the
minds of our people, and deep and loud were
the imprecations against her: but not a word
of the attempt at capture was 'made public,
and certain I am my brother was not one of
those to whom it was made known, or very
nrobablv he might have been one of the party.
But in the evening, from the want of accom-
modations at Chippewa, he rode down to otan-
brd, (a village lour miles from tne tormer
place,) where he remained at a lnends house
ill next morning.
I went to the quarters of some acquaintan-
ces, volunteers nom uns lown, wucic iay
down for the night; but was awoke about mid
night by one of them who said: "We must
turn out mere is someming going on. w e
did so, and proceeded to the mouth ot the
Chippewa, where a fire was being lighted.
Immediately we observed on me opposite snore
a vessel on fire, partially at first, but soon in a
blaze and moving down the river towards the
falls. It was the Caroline, bhe had met her
fate. What the full consequences may be
time must tell. I remember well, while I watch
ed her hurrving on to destruction, and felt
that her fate was just, I likewise thought of
the ill feeling she was likely to occasion oe
tween the two nations, considering the cause
which the American border people hadespous
ed. She had barely passed on to complete de
struction. when her captors landed where I
stood; from several boats. Had my brother
been there I should have seen him; but I con
fess I did not look for him. I never thought of
his being there, and there he was not. He
knew nothing of the burning of the Caroline,
till next morning; and n J am not misiaKen,
he knew it first from me. The rise of the ru
mor of his being there, I cannot only account
for thus: He. was active, and sufficiently dar
ing, to assist in that which, in either of our
Navies would be only thought a common "cut
ting out affair;" and had been round the Island
that day in a boat; along with several . who
were really at the destroying of the boat.
Had he been there, I feel certain that no fear
of consequences would have made him deny,
it; but to be stigmatised as a murderer on one
side, and foolishly, lauded by some as a hero on
the other, on Account of a transaction in which
he had no share, can be any thing but pleasant.
If has indeed been asserted that he has boas
led of being at the burning of .the boat. To
those who know him and the circumstances, I
need say nothing. Tothose who do not, I say
it is a gross falsehood.
He has been blamed too by many, for lay
ing himself open to an arrest by entering the
United States: but what had he injustice to
fear? He had been vaguely accused, without
cause,of being guilty of what we consider no
crime and was this sufficient to prevent a
British subiect from entering the United States
on his lawlul business? u is true a - uuc um

arrested on this indictment in August last, was
duly liberated after a short confinement. But
the persevering enemies of all good subjects of
the British crown, the "Patriots" of the frontier,
had not done with him, and on again visiting
Buffalo, or rather on his return, he must be
again arrested, and by an accumulation of the
most gross perjury, and against the most di
rect and respectable evidence in his favor;
thrown into prison, where he must not only
abide the uncertain effects of the law, but the
will of the mob.
He has not deserved such treatment from
the hands of any portion of the American peo
ple. He had uo quarrel with them, well
and favorably known to many of them, liberal
and courteous to all with whom he had deal
ings, could he have expected the Government
and People of a great Nation would look cool
ly on, while his liberty, and even his life, was
was made the sport of a vile conspiracy? Yet
such has been the case. But he makes no pit
iful complaint, he calls for no undue sympathy;
his case is simply that of an injured and insul
ted British subject; he has claimed the interfer
ence and protection of his Government, which
has been promptly afforded, as far as possible;
and, come what may, be dreads not the issue.
Still, his situation is a very unpleasant one,
confined in a miserable jail, suffering in health,
and debarred from society; and why? Can any
'lightened American answer without a blush for
their country? The laws would allow him to
breathe the air of freedom in his own land of
liberty and law, but people would not, and it
seems they are the higher power. Should he
have a fair trial, and the character of the wit
nesses on both sides be taken into account, I
have no fear for his acquittal, and I hope such
will be the case; but if otherwise, what then?
I am, gentlemen, with much respect,
Your ob't humble servant,
. ANGUS McLEOD.
The Printer. "I pity I pity the printer,"
said my uncle Toby. "He is a poor devil,"
rejoined I. "Ho tv so?" asked my uncle Toby.
"In the first place he must endeavor to please
every body, In the negligence of a moment,
perhaps a small paragraph pops in upon him;
he throws it to the compositor it is inserted;
and he is d d to all intents and purposes."
"Too much the case," said my uncle Toby.
"Nor is this all," continued I. "He sometimes
hits upon a piece that pleases him much, and
ne thinKS u cannot dui go aown wn iu sub
scribers; but alas! , who can calculate? lie
Jiibeiu li una It Is over with him. Ttiey fOr-
give others, but they cannot forgive a printer.
He has a host to print for, and every one sets
up for a critic. The pretty Miss exclaims
'why don't he.give us more poetry, and bon
mot? Away with these stale pieces.' The
politician claps his specks on his nose, and
runs it over in search of violent invective
finds none, he takes his specks off, folds them
sticks them in his pocket, declaring the paper
good for nothing but to burn. So it goes.
Every one thinks it ought to ne primed lor
himselt as he is a subscrber, and thus weekly
it is brought to the grand ordeal!"
A pretty hard hit. When Mr. Pickens
nresented his report upon McLeod's case, Mr.
Granger made a speech upon it taking ground
against the temper ot the report, and its re
ference to irrelevant matters. This called up
Mr. Pickens, who said "he had a few remarks
to make in reply to the gentleman from New
York, Mr. Granger.
That gentleman had delivered a regular set
speech, prepared for the occasion, with tones
as regular as if they had issued from a bagpipe.
He was the very last gentleman here, judging
from the sentiments he expressed a week ago,
who, I should have supposed ,would have found
his patriotism and his valor oozing out so soon
from the palms ot his hands.
To this Mr. Granger answered.
"If the House will listen to my bag -pipe a
few moments longer, I shall feel exceedingly
obliged; and if its music is not so loud as that
of my friend from South Carolina, Mr. Pick
ens, it is only because I cannot fill my bags
with as much wind as he can blow into his.
The gentleman says my courage has sud
denly "oozed out from the palms of my hands."
I acknowledge that lite has for me many
charms; probably no man clings to it with
greater tenacity than I do, or is more closely
bound by all the enjoyments of the present or
the responsibilities ot the future. 1 never speak
ot my courage, nor protess to nave been "born
insensible to tear.
This retort is capital. Many of our redd
ers will doubtless remember that in a very
vain-glorious speech made by Mr. Pickens
some year or two since, he declared of him
self that he "was born insensible to fear."
Mr. Granger made a hit, a palpable hit.

ITlystcridus Marriage.
A most singular affair took place last week
at a village about ten miles this side of New-
bourg -Bloomingrove we believe. On Thurs
day about 11 o'clock in the morning, as a stout
hearty, good looking young Jellow was work
ing in a field there, close to the road, an open
carriage, drawn by two handsome horses and
driven by a negro, containing a gentleman and
a very beautiful young lady, stopped just op
posite to where the young man was at work.
The gentleman, who was dressed in black,
then jumped out and the young man, think
ing that he wanted assistance, advanced to
wards the carriage and met the strange gentle
man, when the following conversation took
place:
"Gentleman. "My young friend,
a married man?"
Laborer. "No, sir.
Gentleman. "Would you like to be mar
ried, if you had a good chance?"
"Laborer. "Well, I'tc never thought much
about it."
"Gentleman. "But would you get married
to a handsome young lady, if she had money
enough to support you and herself comfortable
for the rest of your lives?"
Laborer. "Well, I rather think I would."
Gentleman. "Come then, and you shall be
married at once to a lady I have in that car-
riae-"
Laborer. "No, stop; I must go home and
dress first."
Gentleman. "Oh, no! Aever mind your
dress; come right away."
So saymg they approached the carnage
when the gentleman handed out the young
ladv. who was most splendidly dressed. She
shook hands with the farmer, asked his name,
nn,l ihen ennuired where the 'Squire could be
fmmrK whilst n slicrht moisture stole into her
ovm. notwithstanding her attempt to smile
and appear cheerful. The young man replied
Kot Via wnulH lead the wav. Leaning on the
ItJUl y
arm of the gentleman, she reached the resi
dence of the 'Squire, who soon unjtc4 her fast
in the bonds of wedlock to the young man
Whilst at the altar she was very pale, and shed
tears. After the knot was tied, the lady asked
for and received the marriage certificate
which she put into a silk-velvet bag, and then
all three went towards the carriage. Whe.n
ihPir rpnehed it. the driver was mounted on
ii.- ir moJit M.t.rf -.rWNih horsos heads 1
turucd in the direction whence they had come;
the centleman handed the lady in, turned
sharp around to the young husband, and put-
ting a purse in his hand, exclaimed with some
energy. "Good-bye, God bless you! We may
see vou again!" iumped into the carnage,
which was driven off with the speed of the
wind, before the astonished husband could re-
cover himself from the surprise of what he
saw and heard, rinding an enorts to iouow
hem useless, he opened the purse and found
it contained 500 dollars. He then made his
wav iilo the village to tell the result ot this
stmnrre n fair to his relatives and lnends. ny
