MISCELLANY.
ANOTHER DAMON AND PYTHIAS*
The following singular story is taken from anew
work, entitled “Twenty-Four Yeats in the Argentine
Republic,” by CoL J. Anthony King. Quiroga. here*
hi spoken of, wus for a time the favorite aid ot Gover
nor Rosas; hits life wan ended by murder.
• It is now about three yea's since some persons from
Buenos Ayres went to England, carrying with them
specimens of ore from certain valuable mines in the
province and vicinity of Rioja, These mine 6 they rep
resented as belonging to them ; and, by operating with
persons on this side, they succeeded in disposing of
them for immense sums of money. The English pur
chasers formed a joint association, and sent out, at vast
e xprase, meu anJ machinery, for the purpose ot work
ing the mines; but, on their arrival, they discovered
that they had been duped into the purchase of I ind be
longing to the Government. Qoiroga. who was then
Governor of the Province, was applied to, and, finding
that there might be a possibility of turning’ their opera
tions to his own account, gave (hem perrmshou to wo k
the mines, but withheld the title of possession, They
accordingly proceeded with their work, expending large
sums an they progressed, until their all was staked in
this one enterprise. They had begun to reap a teali
fcitiun of their hopes from the product of the mines,
when Quiroga commenced throwing obstacles in then
way, sad exacting large amounts fr the privilege he
hid granted them, fl >ggmg arid even imprisoning the
workmen, and annoying them to such a degree that at
length the operations were euspen led, and the whole
company became totally ruirn and There was no mean*
of redress, and those whocoulJ get the moans returned
to Europe ; but there were many who wore compelled
by necessity to remain ; and among those were two
Germans, whose Christian names wore Frederick and
Wilhelm. These two were devotedly attached to each
other, and might always be seen together,sharing their
moans, and striving each other's comfort and enjoy
ment.
i \ rants ao always suspicious of those about them,
and Quiroga to ho in the fashion, imagined that a con
spiracy was on foot against his life. Many persons
were arrested under this suspicion : and as he knew
none could lie more likely to euleria n hatred toward
him than the poor foreigners whom he had ruined, our
fiend Wilhelm was a tested and imprisoned with the
rrst. It was m vain that his more thin brother, Fred
erick, pleaded the innocence of his f lend, and begged
his release. Qniroga only *ni led, and t I I him that ho
wasted his words. The pourfilluw became almost dis
tract* and ; and in this state of m ml was one morning in
formed tha< his friend was to be shot in the af*rnoon.
i hose who knew him, feared that this Announcement
woulJ drive him to m'dries-; but it was no sooner
made known to him, than a change of a very different
nature came over Ins mind >o am instant lie had en
treated. worried and felted himself into a feverish ex
citement, going from fHHgun to person, and from place
to place, to obtain influence, and olten too, with tears
in his eve-; yet all bad been without av nl. But wrv n
he heard the irrevocable sentence of death, a deliberate
cd;n set-rned to lake possession >f his soul; and w
i’ came, as wijj be aeon, a settled de!e miiMtion to save

Qniroga looked upon him,and with an infernal smile
tild
‘ You must forget your friend, he baa but a f. w hours
to live. Do you know that when 1 condemn ainin 1
seldom forgive him ? *
• But h<- i< my only friond!” rxclaimod the poor Al
low. f,||mg upon his knees and bursting into terns;
“he Is my only filond, and if you kill him you will kill
me. Sen or! senor! he is incapable of this act ! He
has not the head, he has not the power! Bven r.ow
he cannot speak the Spanish language. Senor! Jen
treat you, spare him !’*
“If he does not understand the Spanish language,”
said the cold blooded tyrant, “he will not need to learn
it now. Go—leave me; you ran say nothing that
will alter my determination or save his life.”
•Is it so, monster!” eiclauncd Fr.d rick, springing
to his leet, and levelling a pistol at the very breast of
Quiroga. • Speak one wotd, and you die ! 1 have
come to I,berate my friend, and 1 will do it!”
He then approached the dooi and turned the key.
Th tyrant saw resolution 111 his eve, and trembled.
“See.” continued the Herman, -I have saved you
the trouble of drawing the order so his release; it is
all ready together with his passport, and wanta only
your signature, which you will please all’ll to it in
stantly.’
Qniroga knit his brow, and hesitated.
“Come se nor, there is no time to lose. My life
you may have, and vou shall be welcome to it, but you
fr.usf sign these papers! Hesitate one minute longer,
and I swear that I will deprive you of the power to
commit more tnordera.’
There was no alternative; the piper, were signed.
The German went to the door, still keeping Qniroga
et bay, beckoned on, of the guard, and banding hint
the paper, mjj cal inly
“Here is the Governor’s orjer for the release of tho
foreigner W illielm ; he commands you to deliver it in
stantly to tie capla nos the guard.’
1 uen returning, he again fastened the door, and tak
ing a seat, said lit the nio.t quiet manner possible—
“ Now Governor, I will have ball an hour’.converaa
lion wiih vou.’
Upon the margin of the order of release, Frederick
haJ written a few words in the German language, di
recting bis friend to take the horse that the captain
would deliver to him. and escape wethuut a moment's
delay from the pr.vmce.
This self-sacrificed man conversed wi h Quiroga f>r
8 full hour. He spoke of the injuries that himself and
companions had so unjustly suflaced at his hands, and
entreated hi-n to adopt a different course of conduct
inward his fellow-men. “By humanity and goodness,'’
said he, “you will win their confi fence and love to
such a degise that you need fear no c mspiracy against
your life; but, by pursuing your pre-enl course, Iw as
sured that the sword of ll.mercies will forever hang a
bove you. ready at any moment, even us it now is, In
lull and destroy yon.’
Weaned with his imprisonment, Qniroga at length
said—
•• VV til. tenor Frederick. you have accomplished your

“After I have obtained from you a single promise,”
he replied.

American, lint you will order no pursuit wnhiu one

‘ I promiam it/’ said Quiroga taking out his watch.
“(Jo-if you can etrapa in that time you shall not be
harmed.’

mi the moment when the hour had eipiicd, he tpraeg
to the porch, exclaiming—
•■ Pursue the foreigner! A bundled miner, to him

he was found, and there, fighting for hi. hfe, he fell,
lureeJ by a dozen weapons.
Wilhelm escaped into the province of Catamites,
and finally returned to Europe.
The substance ot the interview between Quiroga and
Frederick was made known by Quiroga himself, who
often laughed over it, saying that it was the best man
aged affair that he had evor witnessed.
Such wss the man of whom I hid before hut little

character to the country, In the hinds of such men
the people have suffered and continue to suffer, with

.SNAKE JOHNSON.
Whether the subject of this vtorv acquired the ap
pellation of “Snake” by the good offices of the clergy
man who officiated at his baptism, or whether it wjs
given turn bv his admiring friends —whether it w*
given hint lor any personal qualms ha possessed, or
because he was “death on sunke*"—it is impossible
now to ascertain, as it is a matter of lit tie moment. —
f'Miake Johnson is a man of considerable notoriety at
Port Kivacca, Texas, where he keeps a stde with a
small assortment of dry goods anJ groceries, principal
ly consisting of whiskey ; and, to u-e hi* own words,
makes a decent and respectable living. Snake is a
man of siii'dl pretensions, and honestly avows thst he
wasn’t brought up no ways superior to most folks, and
ain’t no account at afgebray, hut knows as well as most
f ilka th it when he gives ten dollars for a Iterril ot wins
key. and retails it out for eighty, ho can’t ha a loam’
much.” Tnere is no htng remarkable about the ap
p arance of Mr. Johnson. He ia tall, round should r
ed, poweifully built ; has got a long, sharp-nose, pierc
ing gray eyes, a liar J mouth, and a good many lines on
his face that inJicile courage and cunning. In his
district he i looked up l as n pietty shaip sort of a
ch -p, and held the office of sheriff.

&c., the subject of his having been eher.il’ ol the coun

Fnake took out his plug of tobacco, cut off a small
piece, put it into his mouth, shut up his jack-knife,
said, “Dd /ever tell you, gentleman, about my actin’

‘•No! no!’’ exclaimed a dozen voices, ••lot’s have

“Well, gentlemen,” said Snake. “I won’t be ugly,

DOMESTIC.
From the Charleston Courier .
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.
The Government has received advices confirming .
the rumor that Com. Bloat has taken possession of j
VI mterey and San Francisco. The people are saiJ to !
he well disposed towards the United Slates, and aeon- ‘
tldenbfe portion of them ore American emigrants.
Much excitement has been got up in New Y ork a
gaitist Col. Stevenson and his California cnterprize.
It is hardly probable that the Col. will go with the
regiment —but the obj clions to tho enterprize itself
are frivolous. It is objected that they will not reach
their destination till next spring, when the war will be
over. Hut there is no prospect that the war will be
over. We shall never consent to a pence without the
cession of the California* VVe shall want these men
i as settlers, even in case of peace, and they vveie enlist
ed with the understanding that they were to remain in
the country—the government giving lh *m lands.
it will he long before the policy of Santa Anna, as to
the controversy between the United States and Mexi
co, can be known to our Government; hut expectations i
are certainly enleitaioed here that he will go for peace, j
The question is whether tun people are l-#r peace, a.id
he declares that he will go with his people. Santa
Anna will, probably, consult the Congress which has !
1 been summoned to meet in December. His influence
with that b >dy will be powerful, II may obtain their
sanction for any treuiy. The British Government, )
when it interfered wiih the annexation of Texas, made j
a direct appeal to individual members of Congress |
throug i their Min ut >r, Mr. fitlmiu If the British gov
ernment ia very anxious to promote the negotiation, it i
I can do so very successfully in the same way.
The prospect of peace ha* certainly become better, j
There will be a great struggle in Congress, at the next i
session, upon the question of Mr. VVilmot’s restriction
iof slavery. It will be difficult lo procure the passage 1
of an act looking to the acquisition of more territory, |
s u h of 06 deg., without a daine prohibiting slavery. !
The question is one which i* destined to produce much ]
excitement. The territories to he ceded by Mexico,
hie to be open only to the ritiz n* of non stave holding
•States that will be the fleet of the restriction. Vol- [
notary and involuntary servitudes exist in Mexico, to a
great extent, and in a very oppressive form Neatly
si the Indian* are slaves, They may voluntarily e.I
themselves, and often do. This practice would not be
reached by Mr. Wilmot’s restriction.
All clnldtcn of Indians born on an estate, are clurg
cd a large rum for (heir maintaiuaoce to the age of
puberty, and they remain slaves till it is paid. This is
a species of involuntary slavery, but it was not the de
sign ot the House, in idop T ing Mr. VVilmot’s amend
ment, to put an end *o that practice, but simply to ex
clude African slavery.
The war with Mexico, it maybe now hoped, is near
ly over ; but It la destined lo eliUtl quatrela upou our
htflvcs.
The project of dividing Texas into two Slate*, w hirh

THE DENIAL.
The Union denies that there was any understanding
between lh- authorities of this Uovsrnnicnl and Sonia
Anna, rei.t ve to the settlement ol the Mexican ddfi
lully, Torre might not hive been, bui It wilt lake
more reliable authority than the Union to satisfy the
country on this print. The President hu* found 1
convenient on more occasions than one during his offi
cial eirrei to keep Ins own council*, and mystify not
only Iho grinder ot Ilia organ l ul llie whole country as
to Ins real intentions. Honest answers to u few plain
ques ions woul I satisfy the people more upon ibis mai
ler man any denial nude by Itilebie, either wnb or
without the Pre-idem'# authority. Upon what errand
did Uapi Mr Kenzie visit the city of Havana! How
happen ml it that the American Consul at that city wrote
a le'ter to Com. Conner, by Hauls Anna, and why did
Ihe Commodore Buffer Minis Anna 10 pass the block
ade and enter Mexico unmolested ! What business
had Mr Kenzie at Can. Taylor's cso-p, end why lias
(ien. Taylor been delayrd in hia movements bo long !
We do not know that Ilia President after hia bravado
air ml conquering a peace, would delilreralely undertake
to purctia-e one by placing *ucb a insii as Hants Anna
in p iwi r, but the whole ol the circumstances taken to
gether will impress such 1 conviction on the mind of
every n fleeting 111111.
VS e core hut litile about Ibis matter, Satisfied that
the President has got the country into a dilfinuhy
which he has no ability to manage, and that he h.ts
plunged Ihe liovnnmeiit into a debt the daily increas
ing magnitude of whnli ta almost frightful to contem
plate, we are wilting that he bring about a peace in
any way conaiau-nt with the national honor. I list he
will be able lo do *0 in many a long day we have no
kind of belief. He aeems to be stumbling along at
prvsent like a blind horse iu a bog, anxious to get out

apeak in term* of greatest enthusiasm of thu conduct
ol the rank ami file on thnce trying occasions. Not ,
only did the men behave well in the fight, but they
manifested the utmost anxiety to get into it J.icui.
Crittenden related several incidents to us which piano
the conduct of toe priv uej and non-commissioned offi
cer* in the moat favorable aspect. After Col. Mcln
tosh ha t been wounded on the Bth, one of the men
was detailed to t ike charge of him. He complained
bill- ily, He loved his Colonel, he said, and would he
proud to nurse and take care of him : but he did not
like to lose hit chance in another fight, and begged to
be excused.
One t f the corporals was wounded by a ball in the
forehead—which at tin looked us if it would prove
fat il. He pressed ins band to his head and said; ••!
am hurt; lam mortally hurt.'* Then reflecting, he
ffaid : -No I ui'nt ; 1 sm good for something yet !”
Hu then hound up bis head with his handkerchief
went into the fiihf, and did his duty like a man. By
th .s time, howev. r, his head ha I *wo| en greatly, and
he wia forced by his officers to place himself in the
bands of the surgeon. This noble fellow is now in llu*
detachment commanded by Cept. Marcy and Lieut.
Crilieriden, which leaves with them to-day.
Alter the battles of the Bth and Pth, whrn more hot
work was expected, Lieut. Crittenden, with h:3 men,
or what icmiincd of theiu,foi he had suffered severely
in these engagements, wri® bivouacked on the spot
near he nver, E ir|y in the evening ho was called up
on by Lieut. Hays, of th s btale. who had teceived an
order fiom Gen Taylor to cro#a the river in the morn
ing. Ten of the beat men were required for a duty
ftien believed to be full of peril, anil Lieut. H. wanted
to know if In* could obtain this sort of metal in the
rtktiks of Crittenden's company. Th® Liter thought
he could accommodate him. Most of his men were
lying on the ground asleep, or overcome with fatigue
He woke them up. ••Men,” paid he, -Mr. Hays wants
ten daring, cool fellows to crons the rLer with hint in
the morning. All who are willing to go will rise—
though a;I must he awre it is an enterprise full of
danger.” Every man jumped in his feet in a moment.
A selection hud to bu made, however. Those who
were not taken wero loud in their complaint*,
and one of tho sergeants cam’ to Ciittenden
several times during the evening, and begged to bo de
tailed. His Lieut, told him that privates, not officers
were required. -O, never mini,” said the sergeant;
-you'll find that I will play private ve r y well.”

that worthy and veteran office", Inspector General
Churchill; al-o Capt. Fitter, of the corps ol engineers;
and (’apt. Cr .*a. Ass't Quartermaster.
‘i'ne tw > regiments of Illinois volunters, under Col’s

The Aikaiir-as Mounted Volunteers. Colonel Yell,
had also arrived, as will as five companies of Texas,
under Col. Young. Major Bonneville, (T. 8. A., wi'ii
two U. 8. Dragoon*, and two of the Gin

I h<* celebrated U. S. Artillery corps from Carlisle Pa ,
under Capt. Wash ngton, had also drived with f>ur 6
p lunders.and two 12 pound Howitzers. They march
e 1 through the town in full uniform, and made quite a
formidable appearance for this patt of ‘he country, and
much astonished the Mexicans, they never having seen
ao g eai an ariilleiv display in an army, and believing
that nothing could equil tn.it of the Mexicans. This
is one of (he fin -st carp in the tinny, and will do as
good service as those of Duncan and Ringgold, should
occasion offer.
Geo ral Wool was moat diligently engag and in drill
ing the forces ; he would take up the line of march on
the 15, and it was said that he would tike possession
of the Cipil i! of Chihu’huQ some time in the month
of 0 t jb'T. lhe distance to the Rio Grande is calcu
lated at about 140 mi es, and from then< * to Clubut

over a lovely country. His force will amount to about
5,000 men.
Harney’s movement dors not appeal to have amount
ed to much after all. The litter from which we glean
th'*e facts, stales that he, witn a detachment of the 2d

they sent a small boat, with nine men, over the river,
to biing the articles puichased. After the men had
pi!-bed off their boat, they were attacked by a body of
Mexicans, secreted in the chapparal on the bank of the
river. Three of our paity were killed; the remainder
jumped oveiboard and reached the bank on this side.
During the afternoon, the Mexicans kept up a fire from
their musketry, and succeeded in k'l'iug one mule and
slightly wounding anmhsi- Th® troops having no
means <>f crossing over the river, took up their line of
march for this place, being already jnder orders to that

h heralded through Mexico, as giving additional lustre
to the arms of the magnanimous and exulted people.
Before leaving, the provisions and olhei stores, togeth

were burned, being unable transp ut them to thispLce.’

THE LATE STOKM, —A altp from tha Norfolk
Herald under date of the 16th inrlint, 8, P. M. eaye
‘fbo gale of last week waa more terrible and dtsei
troll* in its eITM ti on the coast, than we had any hies
i>l This will be seen by the follow mg statement from
a gentleman vvho had melanchoily evidence of its vio
lence. A number of vsssela in distress are reported off
lb® rapes by pilots who have come up ; and upon a
representation of the facts to Commodore Wilkinson,
in command a* the Navy Yard, he immediately order
ed the U. S. steamer Engineer to be got ready and pro
ceed to their relief.
A letter dated Old Point Comfort, and published in
the same slqj, fully coiruberules the above statement.
The letter is waned by James M. Claik, who was a
passenger on hoard the barque Isaac Mead, from New
Yoik, bound to Savannah. The writer says:
•• It is impossible to form any iJ. a or estimate of the
immense loss of life anJ property. We hasard little in
paying that no vessel out ut the time has escaped with
out serious damage, while many have gone entirely to
pieces, and hundreds, and perhaps thousands of lives
lost. Two lung boats, innameitrhie pieces of ship fun-
I her, barrel*, and other portion* of cargo, and one wre k
■ of a vpti-el, were seen floating past u* ut various times
; during the gale ; all ol which bear testimony to the as
sertion ventured above. The wilier has seen fifteen
,or twenty vessels making into port since the ato r tn. anil
not one of them but lias sualuitied heavy loss and dam
age in some part. The la<ac Mead. Capt Pirkney,
lost all her sails, (which wee cl-s-ly furl, and) ot) Cape
H&ttcras, on TucaJity morning in 8 fathoms water—
and at the‘time when the tempest a as driving her with
terrible speed upon the breakers. Tne wind at this
moment changed, and drifted us oway towards the
northwest. Sue lost her bowsprit, foremast, and sutler
ed considerably in various places by coming in contact
with tho schooner Imperial, Capt. Reid, Philadelphia,
bound to Chailetton. The •rhnoner was run down,
but nil her crew were saved. One poor sailor had both
legs badly broken, un i was, w hen we left the vessel
this morning, expected to die in a few hoots.”
The schoonei's cargo was worth about $40,000, and
the vessel SIO,OOO.
The s.-homier Walter R. Jones, fmtn up James Riv
er for New York, was wrecked; all on hoard saved,
I with the exception ol the mate, who was washed over
beto e the wreck. Another gentleman reports four ves
sels lost, names unknown.
We observe bv the •• Old North State” published at
Elizabeth City, N. C., that th-* storm was also lelt if*
that vicinity with great severity. Trees were uprooted
and chimnwys bl >wn down. The tid* 1 in the liver fell
some ten or twelve feet, and the bridges on the road
were nearly all carried away.

the tariff *• act of 1828 unconstitutional!” The im
