MISCELLANEOUS. 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.
