This exercises ti ?ir ingenuity: and it is very amusing to observe how cleverly they sometimes man age it. At Baltimore, in consequence of the prevalence of hydrophobia, the civic authorities passed a law, that all dogs should he muzzled, or rather the terms were, “that all dogs should wear a muzzle.’’ cr the owner of a dog not wearing a muzzle should be brought tip and fined, and the re;illation further stated, that any body convicted of haring “removed the muzzle from offa dog should also be severely lin ed.” A man, therefore, tier, a muzzle to Is dog's tail (the act not stating where the muzzle was to be placed). One of the city o licers, perceiving this dog with his tmiz zie at the wrong end. took possession of the dog, and brought it to the town-hall. Its master, being w ell known, was summon ed and appeared. He proved that he had complied with the act, in having fixed a mizzle ou the dog, and further, the city Oificer having taken the muzzle of the dog’s t il. he insisted that he should be fined five dollars for so doing.— Ccpt.

Your correspondent in his remarks iuw thought proper to accuse the member* I of Temperance Societies w ith Intemperance | in their conduct, by wishing to draw n line | between thrmrelvrs, and those individuals who are not enlisted on their side. Now *ir, it is thU very line tlmt doc* actually exist, which Temperance Hocieties are calculated to efface. Itisan “old adage ’ and one founded on the highest authority, that “he that rs not for j us is against us,” and as fur as example goes, ! litis truth is forcibly illustrated inthis instance. Tlie time has arrived, in which no individual need ask whether Intemperance is an evil or not, but the great question, with every one should he,shall I by quibbling and raising every objection which ha* the least appearance of palpability, retard the progress of the great cause, or shall I use my utmost energies and ■ train every nerve, to assist in tlie propagation of those principles, l>v acting upon which so ciety can alone be ml of the crying evil of Intemperance ? “Fide*” proceeds to *Aetr that Fanaticism lias in every age had its day : ■ Most learned judge” say I: Is ot the whole of his communication strongly tinctured with Fanaticism? Me Says, very wisely, that tempi ranee is vety beneficial in its proper sphere ; and where shall we look for the arena over w hich (lie genius of Temperance should exert its influence I Does it not exist in al inost every part of tlie world? Surely it will lie admitted by every reflecting mind, that Temperate principles should be propagated wherever there lives a child, who, can spell Hum : and fanatic indeed would that individ ual ha, who would limit or proscribe the doc trines, tlie efforts, or tlie influences of these most valuable institutions. “Fide*” asserts flint our government is one of pul die opinion, this is n fact, which the friends of Temperance nre endeavouring to impress more indelibly on the minds of men, and such appears to bn the state, of pttblick opinion, at the present day, on this topic, that we art en couraged to hope that it will ere long be dis cussed freely and candidly in every Legislative Assembly in this great country. Our friend bids ii i examine the world, mid really 1 think siieli an examination would tie highly instruc tive to himself. Me argui t that the arts and sciences do not fiourish, that life and property : are not secure, that commerce does not pros per, that woman is not free, and tlmt liberty does not exist, in any other coulry butourown. I So much for tlie influence of those glorious in stitutions which have long been held up to the | admiration of the world! Allow nve Kir, to ask you if these assertions are not libels upon common sense? Do they not indicate Fan aticism of the first water, are they tlindictates of Temperance or its opposite 7 Surely the gloomy re giant to which “Fidcs” alludes must exist in the immediate! vicinity of his own liiain.

I could have forgiven ’Tides” his other as sertions had lie left the “Delicate Lilies” as lie styles them unimpeuchcd t but sir, i consid er his attack on the ladies as unmanly and unwarrantable by any principle of action I: would ask him if there is a spot in this w orld, on which the sun of civilization has shed his benignant rny in w hich the influence of Mod’s •last nW be*t gift to man'is not lelt ? Was she not created as a help meet for man ? And how can she help him hotter, than by soothing his coni .set passions, by assuaging his griefs, by ministering to his comforts and cheering his pathway of'life by becoming his ‘guiding star.’ All this site can; mid does ton very greatexleat effect, when she becomes the advocate of Temperance; amt proud indeed may the mem bers of every Temperance Society be, whose list is irradiated by the names of the fair ones of our Country, rendered doubly lovely, by their association with this cause of virtue and benevolence. Hut independently of the influence which woman should exert in tiie manner before mentioned, she has also the prescriptive right to be heard in the cause of Temperance. Is she a mother/ How often is she called to la ment the profligacy of an abandoned son 1 Is she a daughter l Hundreds of instances are not wanting to prove that excessive drinking on the part of the lather has rendered her situ ation that of the orphan, and the destitute! I* she a wife ? Let the multitude of recorded instances bo heard, when they tell us of the ruthless wretch who forgetful of the sacred pledges by which lie engaged to become her protector, has rendered himself her greatest curse, by his habits of intoxication. These facts all join in support of the argument that “w oman” should, and must be heard in her plea for deliverance from the tyrant whose power wo deprecate. I would endeav our to set “Tides” right as to his regard for the poor and destitute. Every man in his right mind, first proceeds to find out the cause, before lie endeavours to remedy its effects—and it will require a very faint stretch of discrimination on the part of “Fidcs” . ; to discover, that the greatest avowed sources | of poverty and destitution in this country, par ticularly, are Intemperance, and that Fanati cism which is its usual associate. CAROLUS Sep 14- T -t D COUNT?; HERALD. A FKIGHTFCL “FIX.” While at Fort Knelling, Capt. Marryatt hern me acquainted with Capt, Hcott. of the U. K.

Marryatt, in these word*, to wit: I was riding out one day in Arkansas, and it so happened 1 had not my rifle with me, nor indeed a weapon of any description, not even my jack knife. As I came upon the *kit t* of a prairie, near a small copse, a buck started out, and dashed away a* if much alarmed. I thought it wa* my sud den appearance which had alarmed him; I stopped rny horse to look after him, and turning rny eyes afterwaids in the direction from whence it had started, I perceived, as I thought, on a small mound of earth raised by außiiirnnl called a gopher, just the head of the doc, her body concealed by the high gras*. I had no arms, Ixit it occurred to me that if I could contrive to crqu l.up very softly „ihc high grass might ronceul my ep proaeh,tid I should be aide to spring upon iier arm secure iicr ny main strength, • “it I ran tonnage this,” said I to my self, “it will be something to talk about.” 1 tied rny horse to a tree, and commenced crawl ing veiy softly on my band* and knee* to wards the gopher hill; I arrive 1 close t > i . mid the doe had not stnrtcd I 1 with both hands ready ‘ r a pared to spring, *1 wiv m tlmt I toiglt! el n*; l’lu I appeared that the animal vv u • uid.

There I was, at hardly one yard’s distance from him, without urnu of any (liacidption, and almost in the paw* of the panther. ’ 1 knew that my only chance was keeping mt eyes steadfastly on his, and not moving hand or fool, the least motion to retreat would have been hi* signal to spring; so there I was as white a* a sheet, with my ryes fixed on him. Luckily he diJ not know wliut wa* passing within me. For some seconds the animal met my gaze and I began to give myself up for lost!

Imagine the relief. I hastened hark to my horse, and avvav also went I at a light ranter, and with a lighter heart, greateful to Heaven for having preserved me. Captain Marryatt, when he first came to this country, openly avowed at Now York, that he was not to be quizzed or deceived by any nets nr stories—but would searrli out every thing himself, and be quite sure of no mistake.

Philad. Ga zette* A\ lien the gallant Captain was at the Troy House, loudly boasting that he was not to be humbugged by the Americans, as his predecessors in the travelling nnd book making line before hint had been, a young lady from Vermont, that part of the State which we here designate as being over the mountain,’ who had been a pupil at the Seminary here for some time, was waiting in the South parlor for the departure of the Mail Koud Cars by which she was to set out for home. The Captain’*boast was heard and rememhefed. Some fete weeks after this the young lady having occasion to trav el a few miles by stags, from her lather’s was surprised to recognize ns a follow pas senger’ the not-to-bc humbugged Captain. At the first stopping place, while the driver was watering his horses, and the Captain brandying himself, the young lady look the opportunity to inform another lady, who was also a passenger, and a ‘total stranger’ to her, of the name, Ac., of their gentleman passenger, together with the boast against humbug, which she had heard him make at the Troy House. Before Peter Simple’s return to the coach, the plan was matured, iu accordance with which, the conversation, exchange, and payment of the four dollars, just ns put dovv pin the book, took place. At the next v illage the journey of the la dies terminated. The hats and money were changed back, and the incident almost for gotten. until the Diary brought American ‘characteristic’ before the public, and back to the recollection of those whom the Cap tain says were “both voting, both J looking, and both ladies and evidently ■ .'.al strangers to each otheW” The C■- Oii'iia Om v ?':qd,— A cabin bv Oil board a an-of-vvar, I ivi” wrelesstv bro ken the captain’s watch, ’which lie found in his cabin, and knowing that he - , -id r, severely whipped when was disc >■ iv-1, hid himself upon deck.

Arrest of Counterfeiters. —Simon Pomeroy, George \V. Fox, Benjamin Leg gett. and Sarsli, his wife, were committed at Buffalo, on Monday, on a charge of coun terfeiting.

A WICKED OUTRAGE. On Friday night last, as the Philadelphia tram of cars were going down in the neighbour hood of Oakland, on the State Road, they run with tremendous force against a heavy piece of oak timber, which had been designedly fas tened across the track by some devils in human shape. The locomotive wa* upset, rendered wholly unfit for further service, and the engin eer considerably injured by the concussion. The Superint*udenl, Mr. Cameron, ha* offered a reward of fcAUO for tlie detection of the vile miscreant, who. from sheer molive* of mali cious mischief, thus placed in jeopardy the lives of perhaps one hundred of their fellow beings. No punishment could be too severe for such fiendish depravity.— The Keyttone. Jamaica.—The fact of the emancipation of the slaves in this island by tha- British government is not unknown to most of our readers. The results of this effort of false philanthropy fully attest the lattei futility of the attempt to associate, with equal privi leges, in the bond ofsivil society, the two races, which the Creator has distinguished by such marked dissimilarity. The latest advices from Kingston, present a melan choly picture of the condition of the island, torn hy factions and disturbed by the per petual insorbordination of the negroes. But few of the latter since the termination of the apprenticeships have returned to their labour, but are constantly committing depredations upon the already impoverish ed planters, and openly display their plun der in the markets. The countenance which they are said to receive from the government, doubtless add* to their bold-* ties*. A Jamaica paper says that they arc holding secret meetings in part* of the is land, at vv Inch they talk very seriously of igluing.

MOBILE. SEPT. 13.-—We are pained to say that there is no sign of an abatement in the epidemic. On the contrary, com paring the daily mortality with the dimin ishing population, ure fear it may be said lo be on the increase. The number of inter ments since the Ist inst. amount* to the frightful number of 180, which give* a daily average for the past eleven days, of a little over 10. Our population now hardly reach es 3500: some coir pute it lens. The cases when taken in hand early, with good medical advice and good nursing, are said by the physician* to be generally quite ; manageable, though some prominent cases I have occurred in which all this availed | nothing. But the number of the aick is past the physical power of all the physi cian* to attend to. There are few houses without their cases, and the doctors have found it utterly impossible to answer the numerous call*. Several of them have been down with the fever, and some by mere exhaustion. A reinforcement from the country or from neighboring cities, would, we are sure, be very acceptable to them, and would do a great work of charity to the suffering. Among the laborers and poor generally, notwithstanding the exertions of the benevolent, many of whom are inde fatigable in searching out the siek and car rying them aid, the mortality is great. North and east winds still prevail, with occasional tantalising variations to the south west. A permanent change would doubt less alleviate the symptoms, and probably i diminish the dangei to the resident popula lion ; but we believe ourselves, and’ desire lo impress it on the minds of our friends, elsewhere, that there is no reliance upon any thing to destroy it effectually but a black frost; and no one should encounter the danger without sufficient advice that the ene ,■ f >zen.

Shall we Change our Name! —Mr. Irving lias come out strongly, in the Knickerbocker, against many of the names bestowed upon our town* and states and cities, and in favor of restoring the Indian appellations.

In any portion of the world a Y’ankee is a citizen of the United States. Itisan appel lation given him by the people of the foreign chines, it is distinctive ;it tells at once, and in a way not to be mistaken, that he is of the Anglo Saxon race that he belongs to ’the im mortal ihiib-en,’or to some of their descen dants. Webeleive tlmt the name of Yankee has ‘magic in it.’ For with that name is asso ciated all that is noble, and brave and daring— all that is c rg -tie, industrious und enterpri sing—all that is inventive, national and acquir ing—all that is intellectual, mortal and reli gious There is no man who is an American, that will disown tlie name of Y ankee. I care not whether he is from the Sunny South, the great west, the old dominion,’ or from that ‘laud of mountain and of rock, New England. Suppose that u son of one of the Southern states was now in England ; would he not rejoice and l*o proud to bear the same name, to be bailed as a citizen of the same country, with Daniel Webster 7 And he is a Y ankee—full blooded, without spot or blemish. Away with a desire for anew name for our nation. The United States, (‘a string of pearls around the neck cf liiierty,’) should never be changed. It is a good name poetically, and one under which we have grown from infancy to manhood politically. It is tlie name our fathers gave us ; let it never be changed. Singular case of life prolonged without food. —In the Ayr ( English) Advertiser it is stated that Agnes Docherty, wife of I’arrah Gallagher, weaver, in Priestvvlch. aged ffg, died on Sunday, the 7th ult, of a closing up of the gullett, just above w here it enters into the sto mach. For a long time past she had experi enced a diffeuTty iu swallowing any solid food ; end, for fifteen weeks previous to tlie dosing up of the passage, she was supported on milk and water alone, with occasionally a little whiskey made into toddy. The passage closed up completely on the 14th or 15th of June last, and since then no sustenance of any description passed into tlie stomach and every attempt lo administer nourishment in any oth er way entirely failed. The sensation of hun ger, w hich was very strong, entirely censed on the closing up of the passage. And for 23 or 14 days she continued in that state free not only from pain, but from any other bodily ail ment w hatever, the vitality of the body being sustained forthat length of time solely by its interna] resources, and that too w hen these re sources had been greatly attenuated and ex hausted by the comparative starvation of the five or six months preceding. The only un easiness felt was a sensation of heat in the throat, which was from time to time allayed by swallowing a mouthful of cold water, — which, however, she could not retain beyond a few seconds, when it was thrown up again. This, together with latterly an occasional moistening of the palms of the hands w ith w a ter, w hen she felt inclined to faint, w as the on ly source from w hich it was possible she could receive nourishment for the last three weeks of her life. She all along was in a very happy frame of placed Christian reagnation; and it is in compliance with herhumbie request, that this account is made public.
