From the Daily Albany Argus. DIRGE. On tho night following Sunday, A gust 21st, while many of tlm inhabitants of Southampton county, Virginia, were absent nt a camp-mecting held in a neighboring district, the blacks rose up on the dofeuceloss aud unarmed, who remained n't home, and sacrificed, with barbarous cruelty, between.sixty aud seventy victims, without dis crimination of age, sex or condition. Wail! for the innocent, . The beautiful and fair, The young, who perish, .1 in their youth, The old, in his hoary hair. Wail! for the many dearths And homes made desolate; ror broken hearts and severed ties— The -spoils of murderous hate. Vn ir parsed the .Sahbnth-suu Behind the western liills; And hymns were heard in the ancient wood, And songs hy the gushing rills. Tho old man called his flock, Aud read the living word; And the peace of God was in his heart, While his Isps in prayer were stirred. Ail solemnly knelt down, With meek,.confiding air; And breathed “amen,” as the sire implored l ? or them the Great Keeper's care. Sleep, in her folded arms, Wrapped hush,aud, child, and wife, And throbbing pitlso aud heaving breast Wcro all that betokened life. A shriek was heard hy night! The startled eye but saw The gleaming axe, and the ear just caught The sable fiend's hurra! The lid shut o'er the eye, The car heard not again; Aud only death stood sentry hy The red postern of the slain. .Morn smiled as it was wont Gn upland, plain, and stream, And thousand birds their matins sung To the first awakening beam. Rut woman's cheerful smile, And man’s exciting voice, And childhood’s gleeful laugh, no more, In the morning, hade rejoice. Out on the polished floor Ran the ensanguined flood: The babe slept in its mother’s breast, And its bruised lips dashed with blood. t'pon the cold hearth-stone The imripcued virgin lay, Crushed in her budding loveliness, And dawn of her opening day. And manhood's sturdy arm In dust was beaten down; Prom youth his boast and prido were reft, From reverend age his crown. Wail! fur the young and fair, And their remorseless fate; Wail! for the merry homes laid waste, And the bosoms desolate! VIATOR.

Rats is tj»i; Metropolis.—In many parts of the couutry the Norway rat has almost extirpated the ancient legitimate occupier, the English black rat—e.ot so much by regular battle as by depriv- mjr nim of the meausof obtaining a living. This', 'snot ho we ter, the ease iu Loudon, for in some distilleries and breweries both the I frown and the GAMA GRASS. Our friends will learn with regret, as wo do, from the following letter, that our efforts to ob tain seed of tho Gama grass, havo been unsuc cessful, at least.for the present year. Indeed wc could not hardly have expected a different result, when we consider tho great number of applica tions which must have been induced by the publi cations on tho subject, and tho limited quantity raised. We beg our friends to bo assured that wh eh over wo do obtain any of this valuablo seed they slialllic supplied as far as possible. Tho blade of Gama grass (of 12 days growth) inclosed in the letter measures 32J inches iu length. —American Farmer. Corehill, Clark Co. Ala. August 22,1831. SmitiI—It would havo afforded mo much gratification to havo been able to forward you the quantity of the Gama grass seed you request, but tho ten thousand pressing applications last yoar, and this, had compelled on early division of tho ' seed 1 had saved. I neglected to mention that it is.a plant so hardy as to boar being taken up at the end of the first Vear, divided, and each divi sion, with tho smallest particle of root, will grow off with vigor. This circumstance adds to tho fhr.ilhy with which it can bo propagated. For the last eight weeks I havo fairly tested its value in the production of milk and Sutler.— I cut nt fifteen days growth, when it exhibits pc- cnliar delicacy, and fed two cows, and perfectly in recollection of the fino butter of tho Philadel phia Jersey market, lam sure it exceeds for deli cacy the production of tho clover, pastures, and fol ly equal in that richness, peculiar to tho fino but ter of that market houso. This I hod previously been informed would he found tho case, by a Span ish gontleman, familiar with other northern pro ductions, and also with tho grass. Tho same S entlem.ni, ft native ofthoso provinces of South .racrica, in which it abounds, and where it is so highly valued, had also suggested to me its extra ordinary nutritive properties in tho support of the horse, mule and ox and which induced mo to apply tho only safe test, viz. a fair trial. For the burn ing, feverish and costivo food, viz. corn and fod der as common, os irrational, so universally given Xfi those animals in tho hot ploughing season of crop time, 1 substituted a feed composed of equal Quantities of this gross, at 3£ feet high, and oats in the sheaf, both cut up in a cutting box, a mod erate quantity of Indian meal added; tho effect was as palpable as agreeable to tny feelings, and 1 feel assured that it will bo found one of tho most economical, ns also nutritive and wholesome modes of supporting those animals, so useful in agricul tural labors. I have always doubted and regret- fid, tho policy of that theory in tho management of those animals when laboring, which denies them that, which is to thorn such a luxury, viz. greet: food—and I have always equally feared that iv was either our ignoranco of tho proper Jitnd of vegetable matter, or the mode of combin- oluck rat are to be found on the same premises. The metropolis of rats is iu the common- sowers of London; there they live as iu streets below man; aud from thcuce the levies are made iu thousands for tho supply of the pit at Westminster. A Jtory is told, that some years since four prisoners iu Newgate, under sentence of death, managed to descend from the wafer closet into a sewer, having formed the daring project of proceeding along it liiitii they got to tho Thames; but by the time they had got as far as Fleet Market, they were besieged hy such legionsof rats, that the unhappy men were compelled iu their agony to scream lor f ssistancc: aud people haviug heard them opened the gratings aud hoisted them up, when they were conducted back to the place froin'whonee they came. The men who enter the sewers to clean and repair them carry lights, and are in too great force to bo attacked. Tho men who make it a profession to kill tlieso animals use for the purpose strongly s.cntcd aromatic oil, or oil of carraways, and ouc part of this oil in nine thou sand of ground malt is a sufficient proportion.' When these are mixed up, the hand must not touch either the oil or the malt, or the rats would feel the scent and keep away. Another very ingen ious mode of destroying them is to procure a number of small pieces of cork, boil them in tullow, ami lay them iu their way. The thirst would made them drink great quantities of writer, when the cork would swell and burst their intes tines. The following article is copied from the Co lumbus Democrat.

London dates to the 113d, and Liverpool to the 21th, of August, inclusive, have been received at ■Yew York. The'Loudon Sim of the evening of the —Id says —“The Courier Francois mentions, in a torn; ot confidence, that the great Powers Jiavc at length decided on recognising the imlepeudi'i: ,: C of Po land." Accounts from Warsaw, says the Herald, hive been received up to the 12tll instant. They stut® that the Russian General, Field Marshal Count Paskewitch, kept the grand army at a cautious distance from the Polish capital, (fully 50 miles,) and as cautiously avoided coining to at; engage- meat. It was thought that his plan was to cut olf the supplies from Warsaw, lie was said to be expecting reinforcements of troops from the Kussiau Asiatic provinces, and fears were eutcr- tained of these, troops bringing in their train the plague, wliieh had, it is stated, some time ago broken out amongst them. The greatest unani mity prevails ill tnc Polish capital, and all feel ings of party spirit have given way tft patriotism. The Polish army, at tho date of these accounts, was in sight of the Russians, and a great battle ivus hourly expected. Despatches had been re ceived at Warsaw from Colouel Koss, who ac companied Gielgud to Lithuania, ami who was detached towards Polangen. The Colonel con tinued to maintain himself in the Government of Mohilctv. The number of the armed insurgents there, and in the vicinity of Witepsk, was estimat ed at 10,000 men. General Tolstoi had broken from Wilnu to niareli against them. The report that a part of General Rudiger’s corps had cross ed tho Vistula, had nut been confirmed. General Dfhibiuski had been appointed Governor of War saw, and had already begun to act in that cha racter. No-change of importance had taken place in the position of the armies since the last accounts, but every thing seems to portend an awful and fi nal struggle. It seems to be the policy of the present commander of the Russians rather to starve the capital into a surrender than to make snake Nullification, that reaches from Montgont-! a bold push at its capture, lie deals inuch.morc ry Alabama, by way of this place, Milledgecille, in feints and military manoeuvres, to make his Columbia S.

Free Writing- and Despotism.—“Freo writing anddespotism," says Dr. Channing, "are such implacable foes that wc hardly think of blammg «tyrant for not keeping on with tho press. Ho cannot do it. He might as reasonably choose a volcano for tho foundation of his throne. Neces sity is laid uponhim,’unless ho is inlovo with ru in, to check the bold expressions of thought. But the necesrityiis his own choice, and lot infamy bo tiftc mail’s portion, who seizes a power which she cry Columbia Quarters.” The Serpent had evidently been onthu decline for several days; but fur the last twenty-four hours its agonies were heart rending! A consultation of Physicians was held to de termine upon the nature of the complaint, and to prescribe remedies; but as usual in such cases, the “Doctors differed" in opinion upon these two points. Doctor Bird thought it must have the riiiiail Pox, and recommended quarantine and “Hepatcne.” Doctor DcGrafleurcid swore it was tainted with Treason, and recommended innociilatioii with Republicanism, and a plaster of "Clay.” Sonic thought it rapidly sinking under tho consumption.—Ono thought that “The Plant ers of Montgomery were CooA-iog its tail.'’ Some thought that old Jacksoh had stricken it with his Hickory club. Bcthune said that the work was done; for “the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away;"—called upon all those that had tears, to prepare to shed them now; ihat he knew thnt the injury had been done by M‘In- tire’s big Shelaluh; and recommended prayer. Bond recommended "Moore,” as an antidote for' this wound; but Gordon seemed to doubt the remedy and question its efficacy, Woolfok swore that tho tl—■ n Clark meu "had done it,” by gorging it with a compound dose of “Union and Democracy" and recomnicuded "A barrel of ex cellent whiskey," and offered a reward of five hundred dollars “in Florida Money," to any one, who would preservo its life until the first Monday in October next; hut thought if it died, it would. make “an excellent barbecue." Mr. Berthelot ‘if he might be so bold,” “most powerfully sup ported” tho affirmative, that nil its agony was occasioned by the Courier in Charleston. When lo! cn yesterduy it died—“The heavens he hung with black.” This day’s mail brought us the news, that it was Judge Lee of South Carolina, who. with the weapon of Hercules, and the strength of an Ajax, struck the serpent upon the head and killud it dead; fullfilling that part of tho Scripture whicli says “tho seed of the woman shall.bruiso tho serpent’s head." Upon dissection, it was found to contain a good dcai.of black bilo, its,constitution entirely destroyed, its Rings much injured, by crying "State Bights."- In its..gall bladder, was found John C. Calhoun, dead, with a pamphlet iu his hand, supposed to be his late expositon of the constitution. In its Paunch lay Mr. M'Duffto with a written speech, intended tq have been delivered in behalf of the reptile; but “found himself so tramcllcd hy circumstances lie could say nothing.” Dr. Cooper was attempting to raise them, by blowing in their nostrils, which; was abandoned after much toind had been spent with tho consolation of knowing, that they had no souls to be punished. In one of its dying strag gles it struck Mr. Crawford a violent blow, which had like to havo killed him, and caused the old man to disinherit it, a few moments before its death, for attempting the unnatural paricide.

Considerable excitement prevails at this time, in the lower section of tips county, on account of tho supposed murder, by- poisoning, of William Chapman, at hist residence, in Andalusia. A villain of no ordinary character, named Lino Ainalio Esposy Mina, nasbecu arrested in Boston, on the chargo of swindling, and since his arrest, circumstances havo been developed, which will most probably bring upon him n more serious charge then that of forgery. It appears that ho bad Become acquainted, by somu means or other, with tho family of Mr. Chapman, who was an English gentleman, and had a school at his re sidence, on the Bristol road, for tho cure ofimped- intents of speech, and that the villain above'ro- forred to, was in tho habit of intercourse with his family. 'Mr. Chapman took sick some time in July last, at which time Mina was assiduous in his attentions to him. He died, however, ami, in about ten days after, Mina married the widow, who, report says, ho intluced to believe ho was the son of tho celebrated Gen. 'Mina, aud a foreigner of distinction. He procured all her jewellery, plato, of which she had a largo amount, horses and carriage, and other valuable articles, and took thorn to Baltimore, where he converted them into cash. Mr. Ross, prosecuting' attornoy for this county, receiving information of the facts, pro ceeded to the place last week, and had tho body taken up, and an examination made by Dr. Ilopkinson of Philadelphia, assisted by Dr. Coates of Bristol, for the purposo of a chemical analysis by Drs. Hare and Mitchell, of the city. The governor has made a demand for Mina, and wo may expect to havo him hero shortly. A forged draft for $1000, drawn by him on a merchant in Philadclpia, had been intercepted. Several letters from ljim to Mrs. Chapman nave been lying iu tho post oflico here for some time. The lady of Mr. C. left this county on Monday or Tuesday last, since when she has uot been heard of. It is unnecessary to state any thing further, place, whilst he, in fact, attempts it iu another, than his predecessor; and this cautious policy lias hitherto proved rather beneficial to his objects.— Those tactics havo not, however, hitherto en trapped Skryznecki into any aet of imprudence; nor docs it appear that lie himself is desirous of courting an encounter; but there is a war party in Warsaw wliieh is calling out for more active measures, and constantly reproaching the com mander in chief witli his inactivity. Wc are sor ry to perceive hy our private correspondence froin Berlin, that there is a considerable party ill Poland which is passively obstructing the mea sures of Government as much as it can; this party consists of the German manufacturers in tho different towns, whoso trade has suffered greatly from the revolution, und who wonld make any sacrifice of independence to tho return of tranquility. The garrison at Warsaw had re ceived an accession of 5000 hy the return of Dcm- binski's corps, who, detestiug the perfidy of Giel gud aud C'halspowski, had returned from Lithu ania, after cutting his way through the most for midable obstacles. Tile presence of these troops, in the reigning dearth ef provisions in the capi tal, will, however, add to the privations to which that devoted city has been already exposed.— Dcmbihski has been appointed Governor of War saw. Tho archbishop of Ireland, Dr. Magee, died on the 20th of August. Speaking of Belgium, the Loudon Couriorrc- ntarks—We have' received a letter from our Brus sels correspondent, dated on Friday last. The capital was then tranquil, and a very good under standing had been come to between Marshal Girard and tho Prince of Orange, as to tho pro ceedings of tho two armies. Our account of the reception of tho French C’ommander-in-Chief, by the Prince of Orange contrasts stronly with that jvhieh had reached us of the conduct of the Duke of Saxo Weimar to Lord W. Russell. The Ger man Duko is said not only to have insulted tho noble lord, but also to have spoken most offensively of the King and Queen of England. Tho Relume Bill is still undecided, but all par ties agree that a most serious blow has been struck against tlia principle of the measures, by the suc- ccss,of the motion which gives the right of voting to farm tenants at will, paying annual rent of j£50. In tho House of Lords on the 'evening of the 22d August, the Earl'of Wicklow inquired whether there was any truth in the rumors as to disband ing or disarming'tho yeomanry force of Ireland. Earl Grey replied that it was notin contemplation to disband that force, but regulations respecting ■it were under consideration. He added, that without charging it with more faults than wore cargeable upon human nature, he by no uteatis thought it the best calculated for Ireland. The Marquis of Londonderry declared that, if the Irish yeomanry force were put down, tho property of some of their Lordships would not be safe a singlo day;': The latest accounts from Lisbon announce tho arrival of three French corvettes from Brest, with men to mako up the compliment of tho squadron.

The particulars of the meeting between Sabostiani and I amarque, heretofore published as a rumour, proves to be authentic. Tho affair was amicably adjusted, MOROCCO. The following nows has been received at the Department of State, from an authentic source, in a letter, dated " . “Tangier, lflth July, 1831. “Sometime in the month of Oct. 1830, tho Em peror of Morocco sent an army of 8,000 troops, chiofly cavalry, for tho purpose of taking pos session of tho l’rovinco of Komsen in the I'nsha- lic of Oran, Kingdom of Algiers. This arma- nent was fitted out at Fez, in consequence of a request from tho Arabs of Cemsen to protect them against the French, was commanded hy the Emperor,s Cousin, Muley Sollman, the great Saint of. Gawzan, culled Sidi cl Hadji Larbi, accompanying tho army. On their arrival at Kcmsen they commenced by levying large contri butions to tno amount of more than $200,00 as reported, which they sent with a large escort to the Emperor, at. Fez. Tho Arabs tired of this marauding system and considering tho Moors as a woYse evil than tho French, commenced hos tilities against them, and jinally heat them nut of their Territory. Tho Emperor not having sent any succors or provision to tho routed army, they returned to Fez, and accused the Emperor of de serting them and' robbing them of their booty; they then attempted to kill his Minister Cidi Mohammed Ben Driz, and finally obliged the Emperor ttrshut himself up in his palace from which he .attempted in vain to escape, having been stopped by his whit© guards, called the Yudayan, which corps Iroke out in opon rebellion and insisted that, he was unworthy to ho their Emperor. This corps is abut 6,000 strong. The black guards called the Buchari were then called from Mcquinez, and remaining faithful to the Emperor, attacked the Yudayas with the intention of cutting them to pieces, hut although much more numerous than the whites, the latter gained the victory and made themselves masters of New Fez, and of the Emperor's palace with all his wives and treasury. This happened in the month of May last. The Saint of Ganzan Cidi el Hadji Larbi undertook to make peace a fetv days after tho battle, and apparently succeeded, but the Emperor having left his country palare for the avowed purpose of visiting Tctuan, Tan gier, Lavacli, and Rubat, escorted by 1000 white guards and 2000 black, they had scarcely march ed half a league ere they commenced a mi tun! attack on each other, and after fighting abut six ho.'u s ‘he whites returned to Fez with a great part 0.’’ the Emperor’s mules and baggage—while 111, return.'d ui v m the river Cebre with the blacks, having that o’.'v i\"R 600 horses.

The Portland (Maine) Advertiser, which was received in Boston on Tuesday evening, tho27tli instant, states, that reports were in circulation ill that town, setting forth that difficulties had oc curred in the Madawascar between the British soldiers and the United States' citizens. The latter, it is said undertook on tho strength of a deed to take possession of lands, which were in the possession of British citizens; whereupon a quarrel ensued, which terminated in the death of seven British soldiers and four United States' citi- mariner. A young man from P awtu , 18 years old, aa apprentice toa blaol<“ T unknown, was mortally wounded Wounded—Daniel Branch, carno, on the head and arms by a sulLo'* right arm shattered; Jeremiah I>, r - ’ r ' 1 zens. The report is given as circulated from sources tolerably authentic; but it is well not to give it too much credence before it is confirmed from the quarter itself. In relation to the above, the Boston Daily Ad vertiser says: “The present state of the ques tion hetween this country and Great Britain, in relation to the line of boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, is such as may lie expect ed to lead to serious conflicts between the inhab itants bordering on the disputed line. Tho Port land Advertiser mentions a report that a quarrel had already arisen, in which seven citizens of the United States aud four British soldiers were killed. This is probably an exaggeration of whatever may have occurred. It lias already been stated that two commissioners from Maine lately visited tho disputed territory, hy appoint ment of tho Governor, under the authority of a resolve of tho Legislature, and that a British offi cer appeared, with express instructions from the provincial government, to protest against their proceeding to act under their commission, which protest they disregarded. Whether these pro ceedings are proper, in the present stato of the negotiation between the tw o governments, and consistent witli the spirit of the convention be tween them, is a question which we will not now consider, hut it cannot lie doubted that there is danger of their leading to unpleasant and mis chievous altercations. A New Brunswick paper, the Colonist, contains the following paragraph. It probably alludes only to the visit to tile .Maine commissioners. Whether they were authorized to mako any appointment of officers, residing within the disputed territory, or whether the Ex ecutive of Maine, by their recommendations has appointed any, w e arc not informed.

Further riots at Providence, and loss of Lives. Wc have already apprised our readers of sev eral riots which Imvo occurred during the past week in Providence. Another which terminated very seriously for some of those concerned, took place last Saturday night. It will be recollected that on Thursday last tho mob outnumbered and got the better of both the civil and military au thorities that were called out to suppress them. The latter were dispersed hy the mob, because the militia had forbono to fire on them. One of the accounts before ussays:—On Saturday night the mob began to assemble in the neighborhood of Oliicy street, towards eleven o’clock, scvoral hun dred had embodied, and commenced demolishing other houses of tho description before razed to tho ground. Soon after Governor Arnold ad vanced upon them with tho civil authorities, ami, backed by a company of cavalry, and another of artillery, aud three companies of infantry, in all about four hundred,. Tho mob was immediately ordered to disperse, which they answered with in sult and menaces. The riot art was then read, and tho mob, together w ith any peaceable citi zens who had assembled as spectators, were or dered to dispc.rse, and an hour given to them for consideration. All good citizens soon retired.— Meantime the mob, amounting to several hun dred, proceeded to tear down tho houses and pelt ed the soldiery and authorities. Thrco Viouscs were soon demolished. At the end of <hc hour specified, tho infantry were ordered to fire blank cartridges towards them: the mob were for a nio- ment startled, and instantly looked about to see if any of their number were kilim); findiug none injured, they all hooted and peltei) the authorities. Ball cartridges were then substituted for blank, and a volley was ordered t«j |,e fired over their heads; thishad.no better efr ec t than the first: tho mob looking round as ’oejoro to see the effect; and finding no damago, now insulted them more than before, and taur,ted them with fearing to (ire- said their shot, were good for nothing, and thnt they cared not for militia. Forbearance was ut an end; Governor Arnold at the head of his sol diers ordered them to fire a volley of balls into u'o l ?°“‘ Several fell dead; or died soou after, and thr«je were wounded, supposed mortally, ami several others slightly. The mob instantly took to their heels, and a moment after uot one rioter w as found near tho scene of action. The com panies then marched to different sections of the town, aud had no difficulty ill dispersing nil per sons. Tranquility w ; as restored soon after 12 o’clock. Tho Governor gave all tho orders to fire, &c. assuming nil the responsibility, and his conduct throughout the embarrassing affair was spoken of iu the highest terms of commendation.
