MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.
An occurrence of a most melancholy na
ture took place at Mi. Miry*, on Frida)
the 110th tilt., which we are sorry to learn,
resulted in the death of one of its most ac
tive and enterprising citizen*. The pnt
tictihtrs, a* we leant them from n gentle
man residing on the spot, are as follows.
About s o'clock, l*. ‘l. ns ('apt. Thom
as E. Harder, who had just arrived in tow n
from liis plantation* was leaving the post
otrice, ho was accosted by Vlr. Charles Ros
ignol, between whom and (apt. If. some
misunderstanding had previously existed.
Mr. It,, on stepping up to ('apt. If., said lie
wished to speak to him a moment, but on
the latter gentleman refusing to hold any
conversation with him, he immediately
struck Capt. 11. with a stick which he held
in hi# lift'd. Fiipt. 11., who also had a stick,
returned the blow ; hut on perceiving his
antagonist draw a pistol, iintnedintvly re
treated for Mr. Dolour’s store, where he
wn* followed by Mr. K. and fired upon
just as lie was in the uet of entering the
door the ball entered just above the hip
and came out near the middle of the abdo
men. Capt. Hardee wa*lmmediately taken
to hi* dwelling, where he lingered till next
morning, and then expired.
What adds to render this melancholy
aflitir more heart-rendering, is the fact that
the deceased has left a wife and an interes
ting family of nine children, together with
nn aged mother and numerous relations, to
mourn hi* sudden, nml to them irreparable
los*. lie was about 12 years of age.
Our informant also slated that a great
degree of excitement prevailed at Mi. Ma
rys when lie left in telulion to this sad af
fair. The citizens had otfered a reward of

From quite an early hour In the forenoon of
yesterday, the Nunnery in Aisqtuih street, un
der the charge of the N'tut* Is longing in the
Carmelite order, was surrounded by a large
crowd of persons, w ho had assembled there, tit
rom*cnieiir of a report that one of the resident
Nuns sitnr Iwnbella. (fivrmerly Mi* Neale, of
Ml, Mary's County,) Imd left the Nunnery, and
that an attempt had been made to compel her
to return, ugainst her will. The Mayor was

had gone. nd. upon ascertaining the state of
public reeling, look her in u carriage to the
Washington Medical College, where she now
is. under medical treatment. Mhe I* said to be
insane—but whether this be so or not, we did
not positively ascertain.
The crowd continued to inereas until night
fall, when the Mayor, finding that his exertions
to disperse if, by appeals to tin reason and good
sense, where unavailing, ordered up the City
(•nurds and the mililbtry*, whom, with charnc
teristtes nromptness, he bad in readiness. The
brigade of Guards, under General O’Donnel,
timed out in gn at murde r* and soon dispersed
this crowd, r< nooning upon the ground, until

A Mob Frtstratrd.—We came very
near having a considerable of a mob in our

For several days it had been talked about
that on thut night the gamblers were to be

inclinations evinced here, however that w e
thought nothing ofthe report, and did not
recollect that the appointed nigh, had arri
ved until from singular movements about
the street we were reminded of it. Some
hundred or more vouug men assembled at
th e market house, and were proceeding up
town about 10 o'clock, to carry out their
design of” breaking up” the gamblers.
But before they commenced business,”
thepolice caused the bells to be rung, and
the alarm of fire to he given. This diverted
the attention ofthe crowd, and so confused
an disorganized it that it did not re-or
ganise, and the night went off quietly—

Attach on the Convent of Mont St. Ber
nardV letter from Genet a gives the
following account of the recent attack ou
the convention of St. Bernard. A few
months since a baud of robb’rs, attracted
by the hope of plumb r, (for,their is gener
ally a considerable sum in the treasury of
the brotherhood.) and trusting to their de
feucelessiicss. made an attempt on the place
at night ; and finding the doors locked and
b illed, summoned the pious garrison to
surrender. The fraternity endeavored to
dissuade the bandits lront their enterprise
by all the arguments w hich religion could
suggest ; and finding thut their appeal was
in vain, and that the robbers were about to
break through the doors of the refectory,
they let loose their dogs, eighteen in num
ber. It these noble creatures are tniltl and
docile when despatched on errands of good
—when irritated, or urged on in attack or- ,
defence, they arc fierce and savage as wol
ves, with whicii they have been singly
known to grapple, and even face the bear.
On this occasion they proved their wonted
courage, for when sent forth against worse
foes, they each look their man, and not
v. i hstamiing a determined resistance on
the part of the bandits, killed eleven of
them, and wounded the others so severely
that they were left for dead on the field.
Many of the dogs fell victims in the en
counter. The good fathers, forgetful of
their wrongs after the conflict was over,
carri- ! the robbers that survived into the
convent, dressed their wounds, and having
healed them, sent them away with an ex
hortation, which, as far as the convent of
St. Bernard is concerned, will doubtless be
effectual.

An investment of $25,000
IS wanted from a company of five gentlemen

convenience, ill the County of Mclntosh
(Georgia,) distance from Darien four miles,
on a bold salt Creek, landing direct from the
sound of Doboy bar. with a wide and open
view of the sea: forming a crescent. Said
Creek having a depth of water at a bluff lan
dtitir (why*re the location of said factory hall
be made,) of at least 14 feet water; —in lha
n ar also of which is an excellent body of pin*
timber furnishing the necessary fuel for a steam
I Engine.
In the vicinity are several saw mills, from
which can be got all the necessary materials,
in the [impress of the buildings.—The site
also being land locked, offers a safe deposit for
lumber. The advantages of such an establish

j ter ol its testimonials and the constantly increasing

props it tor to continue the caution to the public against
I “*> s ’aking other preperations which are introduced
as Tomato Medicines, for the true Tomato Pills.
As ungenerous and invideousallusionstothismed-
I teirie have been published bv the proprietor of a very
1 different preparation, called ‘Milts’ Extract of Toma
to. evidently intended to impair the confidence so
