POLICARPA LA SALVARIETTA,
THE HKKOJNE OF COLUMBIA.
A correspondent of the Back Woodsman,
(published at Jerseyville, Illinois,) furn
ishes that paper with the following transla
tion from Restropo’s “ Historic de la Revo
lution de la Colombia,” of a thrilling and
soul-harrowing incident, which occurred
during the sanguinary and successful strug
gle of the people of that country for nation
al freedom :
After the standard of Liberty hail been
raised in all the provinces, and the people
had struck a successful blow for freedom,
Morillo, with an overwhelming force, re
conquered the country for Spain. During
six months the fiendish savage held undis
puted sway over Columbia. The best
men of the province were by hint seized
and shot, and each of his officers had the
power of death over the inhabitants of the
districts in which they were stationed, ft
was during this period that the barbarous’
execution of Policarpa de la Salvarietta—
a heroic girl of New Greneda—rowsed the S
patriots once more to arms, and produced
in-them a determination to expel their op
pressors or die.
This young lady was enthusiastically
attached to the cause of liberty, and had,’
by her influence, rendered essential aid to 1
the Patriots. The wealth of her father and
her own superior talent and education, ear-1
ly excited the hostility of the Spanish Com- ,
ntander against her and her family. She j
had promised’ her hand in marriage to a
young officer in the Patriot service,who had
been compelled,by Morillo,Jo join the Span
ish army as a private soldier. La Salva
rietta, by means that were never disclosed,
obtained through him ar* exact account of
the Spanish forces, and a plan of their for
tifications. The Patriots were preparing j
to strike a decisive blow, and this intelli
gence was important to their success. She
had induced Sebarian, her lover, and eight
others, to desert. They weve discovered
and apprehended.
The letters of Lap Salvarietta, found* on
the person of her lover, betrayed her tothe
vengeance of the tyrant of her country.
She was seized, brought to the Spaitish
camp, and tried by a court martial. The
highest rewards were promised her if she
would disclose the names anil plans of her
associates. The inducement proving of no
avail, torture was employed, to wring from
her the secret, in which so many of the
best families ofColumbia was interested,but
even on the rack she persisted in making
no disclosure. The accomplished young
lady, hardly eighteen years of age, was
condemned to be shot. She calmly and se
renely heard her sentence, and prepared
to meet her fate.
She confessed to a Catholic priest,, par
took ofthe sacrament, and with a firm step,
walked to the open square, where a file of
soldiers, in presence of Morillo and his of
ficers, were drawn up, with loaded mus
kets. Turning to Morillo, she said, “• I
shall not die in vain for my blood will raise
up heroes from every hill and valley of my
country.” She had scarcely uttered the
above when Morillo himself gave the signal
to the soldiers to fire,and in the next moment
La Salvarietta was a mangled and bleeding
corps. The Spanish officers and soldiers
were overwhelmed with the firmness and
patriotism of this lovely girl, but the effect
upon her countrymen was electrical. The
patriots lost no time in flying to arms and
their war cry, “La Salvarietta!” made
every heartburn to inflict vengeance upon
her murderers. In a very short time the
army of Morillo was nearly cut to pieces,
and the commander himself escaped death
only by flight, and in disguise.
AFFECTING INCIDENT - _>N RUN
KER HILL.
Among the countless interesting scenes
which took place during the unprecedent
ed Convention of the 10th instant—the
mere recital of which would fill a volume
—the following most touching incident has
been related- to us :
“As the delegation from New-llampshire
was passing that front Alabama on Bunker
Hill, Lite standard-bearer of the latter dis
covered'in the standard-bearer ofthe form
er, his own brother, whom Ire had not met
forfiv,e years.—The instant they recognis
ed each other, they rushed together and
gave vent to their feelings; and as the ban
ners of the two distant States floated in un
ion over the heads of the two brothers, the
members ofthe procession joining with the
immense concourse of spectators on the
spot, rent the air with loud and enthusias
tic cheerings.”— Boston Daily Advertiser.
The following anecdote of tire glorious
days of seventy-six we do not remember
to have met before. The battle of Bunker’s
Hill had already begun, and was raging
with fury, when a little spare-faced captain
of a company of sixty volunteers from Con
cord, (N. H.,J arrived as far as Winter
Hill, much fatigued with the day’s march
and the heat ofthe weather, but still press
ing steadily forward. Information being
received at head quarters of this reinforce
ment, an express was immediately sent for
them to hurry along, as their assistance
was very much needed. The captain,
thinking to hurry faster might disable his
men for action, replied, “Don’t think it best
to hurry—may all be killed when we get
there !” On arriving at Charlestown Neck
the request was repeated, the lines being
in imminent danger ; and the captain still
made the same laconic reply. At length
he came up to the scene ofaction, and, bring
ing his men up square to the line, he pull
ed offhis chapeau, anil swinging it in the
air, he exclaimed.. “ Now, my hoys, give
it to ‘em. ! give it to’ ‘em / give it to ‘em /”
“Perpetual and solitary confinement for
life,” says an exchange. It reminds us of
our old professor, who used to say, “ You
see here young gentlemen a perforated tube
with a hole through it!”— Richmond
Star.
ACCIDENT.
A “ down east” exchange says :—A
dandy, hurrying in great speed around a
corner, met two ladies of his acquaintance.
Taking ofl'his hat forgetfully, the following
load of freight tumbled about the side-walk:
Two upples ; seven old love letters ; a
quantity of unpaid hills ; one clean bosom
and collar; seven East Windsor segars;
two newspapers ; a phial of sarsaparilla
syrup; a pair of gloves ; a pair of false
whiskers; half a pint of peanuts; two
pair of brown drilled pantaloons; and a
bottle of whiskey.
FORCE OF HABIT.
An editor in the West, much addicted to
puffing the various nostrums sent him, re
ceived, a short time since, a box of Dum
lruie “ Itch Ointment,” and, in announc
ing the fact to the reader, he closed by ob
serving, “ wo have used with distinguished
success.”
AN ACT OF NAVAL APTITUDE.
A captain of an American sailing packet
had learned that a French passenger* on
crossing the Atlantic with him, was in the
daily habit of making his, (the captain’s,)
tooth brush supply the place ofa hairbrush.
Instead of placing a knife and fork before
Monsieur, he one morning had set down by
Itis plate tlie identical tooth brush, with
which he was accustomed to adjust his
hair.
“Ha, ha, eaptin,” said the Frenchman,
“ be gar, you make one grand forget, a
big mistake ; where be my—what you call
him—fork and knife ?”
“Why, look here, Mr.,” said the Yankee
captain, coolly, “1 guess as how my tooth
brush is jist as well calculated lor cutting
up your breakfast fixins, as it is for brush
ing your hair, eh ?”
The Frenchman was never known to
trespass on the captain’s tooth brush after
wards, The manceu vre of the skipper was
a settler for the Frenchman.
It is stated in the Salem Gazette that the
agent for taking the census in that, city
found one old lady in a state ofgreat tribu
lation, when she learned that he was num
bering the people. The Lord had frowned
on such a work when it was undertaken by
pious David, and she did not believe that it
would prosper more now.— Bos. Times.
The first steam ship that crossed the
ocean was the “Savannah. “ commanded by
Moses Rogers ; she went from New York
to Charleston, thence to Savannah, in Geor
gia, the nee to England, to Sweden, to
Denmark, and to St. Petersburg, and re
turned to the United States. This was in
1819. The log book is now deposited in
the Library of the American Philosophical
Society. Some time ago I published, in
one of the papers of this city, extracts from
the log book, showing, as usual, the daily
occurrences, and particularly noting the
times when the steam was used. The
ship was received with great distinction at
St. Petersburg!]. I was on board ofheron
her return to this country. She came to
the city of Washington. H.
The two Arabian horses, sent by the
Imann of Muscat, as a present to the Presi
dent of the United States, were sold at
Washington. The light gray was taken by
L. M. Powell, Esq,, of Virginia, at $040;
and the dark-gray by General John 11.
Eaton, of Tennessee, at $075.
It is said that a Yankee, down in the old
Bay State, has invented a kind of musical
clock, that he has attached to a cradle,
hung on pivots. The pendulum rocks the
cradle, and the musical department sings
the baby to sleep.
An editor down east advertises for “ A
Devil of good moral character.”

FACTORAGE AND COMMISSION

Have taken the commodious fire-prool
WAREHOUSE on McINTOSH-ST.,
opposite General Thomas Dawson’s.
The location of this Warehouse is high
and: free from risk of high water; conve
nient for the receiving of Cotton by wag
ons, railroad, or river, and also for the re
ceiving and forwarding goods.
Cotton and other produce, or Merchan
dise, consigned to them, will meet with
prompt attention. Their charges will be
the same os made by other Commission
Merchants of this city.
By strict attention to business, they hope*
to merit a share of public patronage.

the ensuing year at their old stand on*
JACKSON-STREET, oSer their ser
vices to their friends and the public, assur
ing those who may favor them with their
business, that they have storage sufficient
to place all the produce they may get, un
der houses, and will not have Cotton ex
posed to the weather, nor have it placed in
a spot where it cannot at all times be found
for shipment; and they say the safety of
their Warehouses, from floods or high
rivers, have been recently tested, as there*
was NOT A BALE OF COTTON WET
BY THE LATE HIGH FLOOD. The
location of the Warehouses, to men off
business, are particularly desirable, being
in the immediate vicinity of the Railroad’
Depot, Globe Hotel, Mansion House, and
Banks.
They feel grateful for former patronage,,
and solicit a continuation ; assuring those*
who may favor them with their business,,
that no exertions shall be wanting to pro
mote their interest. Their charges will be
as moderate as other Commission Houses
in this place.
