Kktiiuit of tiik Captivk.—Our citizen*, yesterday morning, wore introduced lo the acquaintance ol John Wood, n man whoso tafo of sorrow could not fail of interesting the heart, however callous, or however prone lo incredulity. A meagre sketch can only be givcqi now. The ample history of his misf'or luries umy hereafter be presented to the world tl given by a master hand, will command (Its interest, end enlist the sympathy of the public, when the mawkish productions of lie* lion, which now cumber our bookstores and insult our taste, shall have been despised and forgotten. In the war of 1812, John Wood, now filly yCSM old, was a young and industrious far mer in Bracken aounty, Kentucky. He was the husband of a young and interesting wo man, and the father of two infant children. He was living in happiness on a farm which he had earned hy Ins industry, when the gal- Jant ( apt Butler (who afterward fell ni ihe ctftmtfe of the British batteries at Fort Meigs) raised hie (lag, and solicited the hardy Ken tuckians of Bracken county to enroll them selves among the defenders of their country. JohA Wood was one of the number. He suf 'W 11 Jne privations to which the Army of the,North West was exposed, during the dis asUous campaign which resulted in U.o do te||t of Wmchester at the River Raisin. By gtfpd fortune he escaped the tomahawk of the savstfe allies ol Orest Britain, and was sent a prisoner of warlo Quebec. He was next, with other American prison er*, despatched in a transport to Plymouth, in England. From Plymouth, accompanied by ■ crowd of fellow prisoners, lie was about to be transferred to Dartmoor, when lie found a •opportunity to elude Ins guards and make Ins escape. He wandered through the coun try,’stealing through by-ways, until he found himself al Bristol. Hunger compelled him lo enter a grocery, the head quarters ol a press gang. Here he was pressed, and despite Ins protestations that he was a citizen of the Uni ted Elates, and a fugitive prisoner of war, fiVCts which might have been easily proved by reference lo the military authorities at Piy rtdtrth, he was put on board. Him Majesty’s Bjgttt.Sea Horse, then the ling ship ol the c Sir Peter Parker, and compelled lo bWMttins against hia countrymen. 'gn.,board the Sea Horse were several oth tt Americans, who, like Wood, had (alien vie lima to the British system of impressment. They determined on desertion; and, when ly the port ol St John, they succeeded m atjppnng a boat in an extremely dark night, •ijll attempted lo reach the Eastern coast of % Slate ol Maine. They were instantly pIMWW. and were obliged to desert their the shore ol New Brunswick, and seak slieltcr n thw woods. Alior wandering about fur two days, exhausted with cold anti huagor ami fatigue, they were apprehended bjt>t -parly ol British soldiers, and again trails fesredito the Ees Horse.

Mr. Wbod and the impressed Americans were ■Wfer permitted to leave their vessel. He wkspff board on the night when Sir Peter Phrltet met his fate on shore.

Fancy cannot help asking—what is now that home to winch the war broken wanderer is now returning? Will the wife of his youth be ready, in the fidelity of her eaily lovo, to hail the return of hr r long lost husband! Or will her duly and affections have been gives to another? Or will she be reposing beneath the clods of the valley! And bis children! If living, they must have lungsmce entered upon the busy scene of life.

" Finsr Atlantic Steamer. —We find in the New London (Lon.) (Jazclle, the following par ticular* of the first sleam navigation of the Allan lie. They were communicated to the (Janette hy Capt. Stephen Rodgers, of (Jraton, who was sailing master of the ship Savannah, of which Moses Rodgers, of Croton, was ihe commander. She was seen from the telegraph station, at (Jape Clear, on the southern coa»t of Ireland, and rvporled aa a ship on fire. The ad i mil who lay in the Cove of Cork, despatched one of the King’s cutlers to her relief. But great was their astonishment, at their inability with all sail in a fast vessel, lo come up with a ship under Imre poles. After several shot* were tired from the cutter, the engine was stopped, and (he surprise of her crew at the mistake they had made, as well as (heir curiosity to see the singular Yankee craft, can he easily imagined. They asked per. mission io go on hoard, and were much gratified liy the inspection of this naval novelty. On ap proaching Liverpool, hundreds of people came off in boats to see her. She was compelled lo lay outside the har, till the tide should serve for her to go in. Luring this time she had her colors all (lying, when a huat from a British sloopiof-war came along side and hailed. The sailing-master was on deck at the lime, and answered. The of. licet ot Iho boat asked him—“ Where is your master ?”—to which he gave the laconic reply— “l have no master, Sir.” “Where’s your Cups lain, then !” “He's below—do you wish to see him?’ 1 do, Sir,” —Tire Captain, who was then below, on being called, asked what he wanted— to which he answered—“ Why do you wear that pcirant. Sir.” Because tny country allows me to, Mir.” My commander thinks it was done to insult him, and it you don’t tske it down, ho will send a force that will do it.” Capt. Rodgers then exclaimed to (he Engineer—“CJel tire hot water engine ready.” Although there was no such machine on hoard lire vessel, it hud ‘.he de sired effect, and John Bull was glad lo paddle off as lout ns possible. On approaching the city, the shipping, piers and roofs of houses were thronged with persons cheering the adventurous crull. Several naval officers, noblemen, and merchants from London, came down lo visit her, ami were vcryjmrious to ascertain her speed, tlos> tiuation, Arc. As it was soon after Jerome Bona parte had offered a large reward lo any one who would succeed in taking his brother Napolean from Ml Helena, it was suspected that that was ihe object of the Mavunnah. After remaining 25 days in Liverpool during which she was visited by thousands ol people of all rank, and her officers were treated wilh marked attention, she left for Copenhagen, at which place alio arrived in safety, where she excited similar curiosity. Sho pro ceodod"thence lo (Stockholm, in Mwccdcn where she was visited by the Royal family, the foreign ministers, naval officers, nobility and others, who by invitation ol Mr. Hughes, the American min ister, dined on hoard, and took an excursion among the neighboring islands with which they were much delighted. Lord Lyndoch, of England who was then on a tour through the North of Europe, by invila- | lion of our minister, look passage on hoard of the Savannah, for St Petersburg!), which place she reached in due time. Here she was visited 1 by the invitation of our minister at the court, by 1 several noblemen, militay and naval officers, who also tested her superior qualities by a trip lo Cronsladt. Her officers received several valua. bio presents of plate, Ate. Ate., and we hove now before us a superb gold snuff box, presented to her sailing master, Capt, Stevens Rodgers, by Lord Lyndoch. She sailed from St. Petersburg!) lo Copenhagen, and thence to Arendal, in Nor way, whence she returned to Savannah, where, alter n passage of about 35 days, she arrived in safety—being the first steam vessel that ever cross ed the Atlantic—and after performing a voyage highly credible to American ingenuity and en. terprisc. She used Liverpool coal for fuel, of which she took seventy-five tons ; as well aa 25 cords of woods for kindling. She had no freight, and only used her engines when not able to go at the talc of four knots wilh her sails. By the great fire in Savannah her owners were compelled to sell her, and she was purchased le run as a packet be. tween that place and New Y'ork, whither she was hound, under charge of Captain Nathaniel Hol dredge—now maslcr of the Liverpool packet ship United Stales,—when she was lost on the south side of Long Island.

The Stanm Frigate. The Alexandria Gazette of the 18th inst. say s— “We regret to hear that the U. 8. Steam Frigate Fulton new at tho Navy yard in Washington, is considered a complete failure." This is con fir. matory of a statement published some weeks ago in the Fredericksburg Arena, which declared the Fulton to be a decided failure. We are sincerely sorry for it, inasmuch as the circumstance is like ly to impair public confidence in steam vessels as a moj ns of coast and harbor defence, when, in fact, there ought te be and need bone suck mis. giving created in reference to them. The unfit* ness of the Fulton, like that of some of the tea sols built for the Exploring Expedition, would appear to leave but little room for doubt as to the absence of that practical knowledge in the Navy Department which it indispensable to the success, ful modelling of vessels of the various grades.

Inaonaitci Csss.—The following case has lately been tried before the Supreme Court of . Boston. The Commonwealth Insurance Com pany insured the brig Sterling of Wiscasset for $4OOO, on condition that they should not be li able for any loss unless it amounted to 50 per cent. In February, 1834, the brig got ashore on Lynnhaven bar, and waa abandoned by the assured to the underwriters, who refused to accept the abandonment, but sent an agent to the place. He got her off", had her repair ed and brought to Boston, where she was at tached by the plaintiffs, (the Insurance C 0.,) but was afterwards given up to the defendants on a bond. This suit was brought by the Company to recover the amount expended by them, #1626 77. The jury found a verdict in their favor, which was sustained by the Judge who considered that the defendants had no right to abandon, unless the loss amounted to 50 per cent ; and that the plaintiffs were com pelled by their conduct to undergo this ex pense, in order to ascertain whether they were themselves liable. The expense, therefore, was justly chargeable on the defendants, and judgement was given on the verdict.—Balti more Transcript. From th« beginning, the Government papers have teemed with statements respecting the pro ceedings in the House of Representatives on the Duelling subject, calculated, and indeed obviously intended, to mislead the mind of those who read them, as to the course of Members concerning the matter, and give a party coloring and bearing to the whole. The malignant intention of the official paper of this city is particularly transpa rent in its notice of tho proceedings in the House on Thursday, when the subject was laid on the table. The Government editor would make out, if he could, that the ‘'Opposition,” as he etylea the independent Republicans in Congress, are to blame for having forced upon the attention of the House the subject which has occupied it in a ‘•twenty days’ struggle,” and that this “struggle” has arisen out of a detire, on Ike part of thia Opposition, to defeat a full investigation and elu cidation of this manor. This is all the teversa of fact. Some of the Republicans in the House were, indeed, originally opposed to the investigation, foreaeeing (exactly what has come to pass) that it would be attempted to be made a party ques tion of, and that no good, but much waste of time and public money, would result from it. But, once begun, the very same persons were for seeing out the play; and a comparison of the yeas and nays upon the question of raising the com. mitlee, and the yeas and nays on laying the sub ject on the table, will show that four fifths at least of those who voted to lay the subject on the ta ble were gentlemen by whose votes the House first determined to raise a committee upon it. We do not stale this circumstance for the purpose of srraigning them here for inconsistency, but for the put pose of calling the attention of the reader to the fact that nearly all those who voted against laying the reports upon the table, and who desi red an early conclusion upon them, are members included under the Government classification as “the Opposition.” The whole of the twenty days’ struggle, of which the Globe speaks, has been, in fset, a strug gle on the part of the originators of the investi. gation to avoid coming to a direct question by postponing, Sec. and of the “Opposition” gene rally to prevent delay and postponement, and come to a decision immediately upon the merits sf the report of the select committee.— A'at.

Boon after putting up at a tavern kept by a wag, he commenced preaching his abolition doctrines.— He endeavored to make black Bill, the hostle, belive that he was "equal” to a white man. It docs not appear that Bill fully understood how that could be; but his master getting wind of it, caused the negro to dress himself up like a gen tleman, and at nigh; to occupy one of the best beds in one of the best rooms in the house.— When the Abolitionist expressed a desire to retire to rest, the landlord conducted him to Bill’s apaitment, and told him that the bed which the negro occupied was the one in which he would have to sleep for the night. He drew back with aghast at the sight of the curly headed negro, and gave vent to hi, indignation! It all would nut do, however; the landlord gave him to understand that it was the only bed in the house, and that, as it was a favorite theory with him that negroes were as good as white people, he could hove no objection to his bed follow. He was compelled to bundle with the negro; but, it is said, not before charging Bill at his peril, to remove his black carcass to the other side as far as possible! Bill told his master next morning, that the Abolitionist did not close his eyes during the night, but abused him for a dirty black negro, from the time he laid down till he got up! BANK REPORT.

All parties seem to be pleased . The Conservatives are gratified at the signal defeat of their late Sub- Treasury associates, even though they lose their leader—the Subservients arc deligh'cd at the prostration of Rives, and are already holding out lures to a prominent Whig, to avow himself for their scheme-ami the Whig* are cheered by the certainty that they have laid out forever the whole crew of charlatans who have been cajoling and plundering the people. —Richmond Whig.

There are established on it two daily trains, one of which is in connection with the North and South Mail Line; and a tri weekly tram connecting with the “ Hnlilax, Wilmington, apd Charleston Rail Road. Stage and Steamboat Line.” Passengers from the South by the daily “ Metro politan Mail Line,” w ill arrive in Richmond . n tho evening after that on which they leave Raleigh and having the night for rest, are yet enabled, by’ ousting arrangements, to proceed to Baltimore on the succeeding day, and thence to Philadelphia the same night, in time for the morning boats lo Now York Tme, less than three days from Raleigh to New York. Passengers who leave Charleston fir Wilmington on Sunday or Tuesday evening, will, if they arrive in Halifax by five o clock on Tuesday or Thursday evening be brought to Richmond by the tri weekly hue, in time for the Wednesday or Friday morning’s cars for Washington, whereby they will reach Bal limore the same evening, anil can proceed to Phila delphin the same night, and arrive in New York be fore dinner on Thursday or Saturday: being Itsa than four days from Charleston lo New York. The connexion is equally good ami expeditious w ith tho extra line from Wilmington, and with all the lines from North to Sooth. The route through Petersburg!! and Richmond will be found also to b e one of the best routes from the South to the Virginia Springs. The passen gers can arrive in Charlottesville, having only forty four miles stage travelling after reaching the rail roads in Virginia, in three days from Charleston and two days from Raleigh. All possible arrangements are made on this Rail- Road for the comfortable and safe transportation of passengers. Office et the Richmond and Petersburg > Rail-Road Co.
