July 17, 1841. IV fee $10. We have received the first No. of a week ly paper published at Holly Springs, Miss; un der the caption of the Holly Springs Gazette.' In politics the Gazette is sound to the core, having spread to the breeze the Whig banner of State with the names of the nominees of that Convention inscribed on its folds. We heartily wish success to T. A. Falconer, its talented editor and proprietor. The following keen cut at a deciple of med ical skill, we find in that witty and interesting eekly paper, the N. 0. Picayune: "A cele brated physician boasting at dinner that he cured his own hams, one of his guests observ d, "Doctor, I would sooner be your ham than your patient." Birney .Marshall, of the Louisville Ga zette, has served up a new tragedy for the stage, 4Tho Brand,' which has been spoken of in commendable terms, by theatrical judges. The Picayune says there are three things which people ought never to do. To question a news-carrier on his route to peep over an editor's shoulders when he is writing or ask the loan of important newspapers as soon as the mail is open." The "Picayune" says this, and we "re-publish it with pleasure." "Goixo the Whole Hog." Henry Norris of New Orleans, wa3 remanded to prison, by Recorder Baldwin, on a charge of stealing a pig of lead.

The latest case of absence of mind coming under our notice, we find in the 'Picayune, l wheie it is said an intelligent waiter at the St. ! Charles Hotel, placed his body upon an ordi nary sized plate and passed himself to a gen tleman waiting for food. The mistake was i not discovered until the gentleman informed i him he had not called for fresh meat TJC?If any of our friends should wish to j subscribe for a Washington city reaper, which always comes to hand with entire Congres : sional reports from day to day, we can know- ingly recommend the "Madisonian" to their . favorable consideration. j, , A man resides in the borough of Harrisburg r. Pennsylvania, whose nosu is so large and fiery y" red that the Common Council think it a sign Vi of intemperance, and are about to fine him i f because it projects over theside walks! ' ; The Philadelphia Gazette, lately conducted ' ' by the lamented Willis Gaylord Clark, in now in the hands of McCarty & Co. William C. Hoover takes the editorial chair. The New Orleans papers say nothing of the reported failure of the Bank of Orleans, which was heralded forth in extras through all parts of this state. The Late President. On the morning of the 5th of July, about day-light, the remains of Gen. Harrison reached Cincinnati and were taken, without parade, to the residence of W. H.H. Taylor, Esqr., son-in-law of the deceas ed, in that city. . , . . Kv A general public meeting of the citizens lad been held to make arrangements for the reception of the corpse, religious ceremonies, rder of, procession, &c. - Wednesday, the 'th inst., was selected as the day on which the eremony of interments should take place, nd accordingly at 8 o'clock, A. M., on that ay the procession was formed at the residence f Mr. Taylor in the following order: . : The clergy of all denominations; revolu Icnary olEcers'and soldiers; officers and sol ars of. the' last war; officers of the navy, ar ty and miiitia; rcUitary of .Cincmnati and ."her 'cities; mayor, council and oncers of the iy. judges of the superior and common plea 'arb, and officers thereof; ember of the bar; the governor and other officers of. Ohio fire 'companies,' mechanical societies, benevo lent and charitable : societies, public: and pri vate teachers, citizens and strangers generally. The procession then proceeded to Christ Church, where the funeral service and other religious ceremonies were performed by the Rev. Mr. Brooke; after which they proceeded to the wharf, from whence the corpse was conveyed with due solemnity to North Bend for interment. . - The hearse was attended by twenty-six pall bearers, and the largest train of military and citizens from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana ev er assembled in Cincinnati formed the proces sion. During the day the artillery of the city fired salutes, and every thing appropriate was done to give a solemn effect to the ceremonies. At last the old man slumbers in peace upon h:s own quiet farm at North Bend. To him the hum of cities, the turmoil of pageants, the acclamations of rejoicing millions, ha ve all passed away. From the Federal city, with its cold political scheming and the heart less persecution of office-seeking mendicants, he is free. He is now at homel Lightly may the earth rest upon his grave. N. O. Ptc. The greatest bores we know of are theE- phraims," and tt "Simons," and the'Krantzs' who flourish so extensively in several of the papers.. The only approach made to a "good thing" by any of" them during the last half century is the following from the Richmond star: "Ephraim, do you approve of factions?" "No, Simon not I." " TVell, I do, and I want to join one. Which should you prefer, if you had to choose?" "0 for that matter I think I would do best to take Mts-faction! it is the best sort, I be lieve!" iV. O. Pic. Reading. Give a man this taste, and the means of gratifying it, and you can hardly fail to make him a happy man. You place him in contact with the best society in every portion of history. You make him a denizen of all nations a contemporary of all ages. "SENSIBLE TO THE LAST." We have a valuable correspondent who signs himself, ver significantly, "Henp-cked." It the vignalure affords any real indication of his condition, we pity him, and with good and sufficient reason. In our progress so far uoon the road of human life, we have overtaken many men and many women likewise in pitiable situations. We have seen people oui of cash sometimes by aid of a looking cla people ouioi credit, ana people out ot health. We have seen people with one leg; people with one arm people with no legs, and peo ple with no arms. We have seen people without teeth,-people with glass eyes, and peo ple with artificial noses. 'We have seen an old toper in unutterable anguish because he had broken his bottle of liquor, and a fair maid en just as miserable because she had been de serted by her lover. Yea, worse than all these. we have seen a man after a prolonged spree trying to get sober, and we have in our own person endured the indescribable agony of that great emperiorof diseases, the toothache itself. Experience has demonstrated that any or all ot tnese are out paltry modifications ot human, wretchedness, when compared with the conditonof-a henpecked husband. We could tell a deeply pathetic story of an early friend of ours, one we loved, "long time ago," who, like a fool, married a red-haired school companion, and ' was utterly "done for" in less than a vear. His mild and amiable school fellow was so much worse than Xan tippe that she would have saved Socrates the trouble of drinking hemlock, and would cer tainly have made Milton so blind that he would inevitably have lost paradise ten years earlier, had she changed places with the affec tionate spouse of the unfortunate old poet. This woman thought herself as capable as the Centurion of tha Apostolic age, of comman ding a hundred men; she told her Husband to "do this," and he did it; to go, and he went, to come, and he came. Our poor friend bore it like a soldier and a philosopher for months; but at last his patience gave way, and he se cretly started on board a whale ship, for a three years cruise in the Pacific Ocean. The last we heard of . him, he had deserted from the vessel, just before she commenced her home ward voyage for he was certain his wife was waiting for him and he is now living "solitary and alone" among some friendly sav ages on an island in the Pacific, where a wo man with red hair has never yet been seen! But we have digressed . so far as to forget our correspondent, "Henpecked." His object is, in every respect, praiseworthy, and will secure the hearty and efficient co-operation of all benevolent minds. It is nothing more or less than to ameliorate the unhappy condi tion of henpecked husbands generally, by the aid of reason and persuasion. Our corres pondent is confident that where females have really "got the upper, hand," all that can be done, is to induce them to behave as gently as possible, and to use their authoiry in such a manner as .to militate as little as possible a gainst the interests of society at large. He therefore very wisely suggests to wives who "rule the roast," when they strike their hus bands with the poker or any similar instru ment, the propriety of striking them across the top of the head instead of on either ofthe sides. And the reasoning of our correspon dent, in sustaining the position he has assumed, is exceedingly apposite and forcible. He. ways he has tested the matter fully and satisfactor ily, arid finds that a smart blow over the head, unless the skull is absolutely cracked; still al lows the husband to put on his hat, walk into the street and attend to his business. On the other hand, if -the unfortunate nial receives a blow upon the side of the head which car ries away any portion of his ear, or has any considerable number of his teeth knocked down his throat by summary process in .den tistry, he is to a certain extent incapacitated for the proper performances of his duties. The consequences are even the same if either of his eyes should be robed in mourning or namented as was the famous resolution con cerning Gen. Jackson by drawing black lines around it. Believing these general truths to be inconvertible, our friend "Henpecked stur dily maintains that the directly downward blow upon the apex or summit, is decidedly to be preferred. We agree with him. Others will agree with him, too, if they give the sub ject the same cool and calm consideration we have done. Any further suggestions from our esteemed' correspondent will be listened to with pleasure. iKe shall do all we can to advance his plans how would it do to form a Strike-(m-tie-Topof-the'Head'Society?,f If "Henpecked" has no marks on his face, re sulting from any late fracas with his wife," he had belter call and see us about it. ' N. O. Picayune: The Santa Fe Expedition left Austin on the 17th inst. Immediately after the arrival of Mr. Kendall at Austin, from San Antonio, he met with a severe accident. While going to the Colorado to bathe, in the evening, he walked off a precipice some twenty-five or thirty leet high. The fall crushed one of his ankles, besides injuring him seriously in other respects. He writes to us that he has been laid out flat upon his back for several days, but was sufficiently recovered to write a rouh letter previous to his departure. Jose Anton io Navaro, one of the Commissioners, was al so troubled with lameness, and Col. Cook had provided the invalids with a wheel convey ance, until they were able to travel horse back. The worthy editor grumbles exces sively, as well he may, over his annoyances and misfoi tunes. The idea of starting on a pilgrimage to the interior of Mexico, on a litter, is not particularly entertaining, it must be confessed; we can easily imagine a great variety of situations that might be more plea sant. Mr. Kendall states that he is under dee j ob ligations to President Lamar and Mr. Roberts, the acting Secretary of State, for t eir kind ness and attention. Attached to the expedi- tion there are about 300 regular troops, with a first rate six pounder. There were "22 wag gons loaded with goods and provisions, and over one hundred live cattle, to be convened into provisions on the way, if necessary. Taken altogether, the expedition has been got up upon a liberal scale, and to the hour of star ting, managed with great judgment. Among the persons attached to it is Mr. Falconer, a gentleman of much scientific knowledge, fur nished with all the instruments necessary to aid him insecuring an accurate account of r.ll the interesting features ofthe country through which the expedition will pass; so that a vast variety of information relative to one of the finest countries in the world to a certain ex tent yet unexplored wiil be accumulated in such a shape as to be rendered extremely beneficial. A proclamation by President Lamar has been printed at Austin in the Spanish lan guage, for distribution imediately upon the arrival of the exebition at Santa F. It is a very able paper, and will probably have its desired effect, that of bringing the" people of Santa Fe at once under the Texan govern ment, of their own free will and accord. Should they not see fit, however, to accede to the terms offered by the Texans, the force un der Col. McLeod will attack the town: and the result can hardly be doubted. Texas claims to the Bio Grande, and sooner or later .he will have all she claims. It will be seen, therefore, that the aims of this Sania Fe ex pedition are of no trifling character, but deep ly important in more ways than one. Intelli gence of its movements -will be awaited with no inconsiderable degree of anxiety. N. O. Pic. Important in Surgery. The New York Herald says "An important operation for the cure of s'ammering has been successfully per formed by Dr. Schmidt, of IFarren street. The cause of stammering, it m ly not be gene rally known, is a convulsive motion of the genio hyoglossus muscle, which attaches to the tips of" th tongue and the inner surface of the under jaw bones. The cure is performed by dividing this muscle, which was done, in stantly and with perfect safety. Dr. S. enjoys the credit of being the first to perform this operation in our country. It was performed in the presence of several medical gentlemen among whom was the distinguished Dr. Mott, who assisted in the operation." N. O. Pic. The Floridian of the 26th st ites that a few days since two wagons going from Port Leon to Monticello were captured and plundered by a band of savages, and the drivers (negro men) Vere tied each to a tree and beaten to death with clubs. T'tis outrage occurred with in three miles of Magnolia, mid within eight or nine of a military station occupied by regu-j lars, a detachment of whom went nex day in pursuit of the murderers. The day following a citizen journeying on horseback from Port Leon to Monticello, was firedyUt by a small party of savages no doubt; the same band. A rifle ball passed through his hat. , . - -, ; .--v, : ; TheLoco'g are endeavoring to make politi cal capital out of the fact of Mr. TVebster's franking the letter of Merssrs. Hope. & Co. to the - Executive of this State, v They want to know what he has to do with the matter, and loudly exclaim he is in favor of the fund mongers &c. We can very easily, tell them what he has to do with it. In the event of this siafe refusing to pay this debt, reprisals will be made upon the Drone rtv of our citi- zens under the sanction of the governments . ... - . ' . -where cjtujens hold our bonds; and the-Gene ral Government will have to declare war to protect it, thus will this mad and foolish par ty be the means again of bringing ruin upon theircountrv. Mr. Webster is aware of this result, for all writers upon international law maintain the right of governments to pursue this course under circumstances similar to these connected with this transaction, and he is consequently anxious to prevent it. But if he knew the Loco foco party of this state as well as we, he would spare himself the trou ble of interfering. They would be willing to see the whole country involved in war and drenched in the blood of its best citizens, pro vided they could keep in the ascendency and hive the control of the public treasure and patronage. l rue Issue. Hard to Catch. Will you pay me my bill, sir?' said a tailor in the street, to a wag gish fellow who had got into him about a feet. Do you owe any body any thing, sir?' asked the wag. 4 No sir,' said the tailor. Then you can afford to wait!' and he walk ed off. A day or two afterwards the tailor called again. Our wag was not at his wit's end yet, so turning on his creditor he says 'are you in debt to any body?' Yes sir,' savs the tailor. I Well, why the devil don't you pay?' Because I cannot get the money. 'That's just my case, sir. I am glad to see you can appreciate my condition; give us your hauoM "Pa, why does mother call you 4my deer?' You isn't a venison, is you pa?" '1 thing may be I am, son, your mother does so often faubJi upon me." We find in the Kentucky Fanner, the fol lowing valuable directions for keeping ice: "Keepiso Ice. We can recommend to our friend- a mode of keeping ice through the day , wnicn win auora mem a real comtort. lye have experienced the inconvenience and f w of a large heavy and expensive refrigera tor, constructed a la mode, for this economical object. It is a very simple and cheap method, recommended to us by the experince of an excellent neighbor, :ind in ly be already well known to many; but it will bejvery acceptable to those who have been humbugged by the trumpery of an enormous refrigerator, so mis called. We take at sun rise, from the ice house as much ice as will probably be wan ed through the day and cover it up in some "saw-dust placed in a barrel which sits in the dairy house. At night, the size ot any given lump is scarce perceptibly diminished, ft is a perfect charm. Away with your half ton of lumber, charcoal and zinc, with which you are humbugged un der the nime of "refrigerator." Now, notwithstanding the fulness of our faith in whatever friend Stevenson may say, we tho't it well enougli to give his saw dust a trial We did so, and sure enough it is just as he says. So far as we could see, the -ice had no more notion of melting than the saw dust itself, and the two substances keep separ ate and apart in frigid dignity. And this leads us to advise every man to build an ice house for himself and not make a partnership affair of it, tor nothing on the face of the earthy creates euch a coolness between friends. Speaking of the saw dust, reminds us to say that we have been informed that the steam boa ts bring ice from New Orleans in the hot- the plan recommended above affords. j li , l v c cm. i i ir: i w l a in ni-i in iiirijLiuii liiu.ii i MR.

Are we to understand that they h?ve turned their backs upon them selves, and abandoned also their pretended re gard for the rights of the States? If, then, a Hank is to pass, asserting the , branching pow er without St lie assent, let Loco-Focoisrn hercaltf r, evermore hold its peace.
