The cook, who appeared to glory in his deed, was in stantly seized and confined. ~ The corpse was taken below, while the wretched betrothed was carried in a state of insensibility to her cabin. Eight hells had struck the following evening, when I received a summons to attend on deck. I, therefore, instantly ascended, and found tho whole of the crew, dressed in their Sunday clothes, together with all the officers of the ship, and the mule passengers, assembled.— The men off duty were lining either side of the deck ; the captain, surround ed by all his officers,- was standing im mediately in front of the poop ; and the body of the unfortunate victim lay stretched on a grating, over which the national (lag of Denmark had been thrown, immediately in the centre. In an instant I saw that 1 had been sum moned to be presantatthe funeral of the chief mate, and my heart beat high with grief as 1 uncovered my head and j stepped on the quarter-deck. It was nearly a dead calm : we had passed the trades, and were fast ap proaching the Line: the sun had begun to decline, but still burnt with a fervent heat; the sails hung listlessly against the musts, and the mainsail was trail ed up, in order to allow the breeze, should any rise, to go foward. I had observed all the morning a more sure indication of our approach to the torrid zone.— Through the clear blue water I had re marked a couple of sharks following the vessel, accompanied by their usual com panion—the pilot-fish. This the sailors thus bend bis hardened spirit I was at a loss to conjeqtn re. Four men now approached and lifted up the corpse.

Taylor illustrative of the manner in which he would make an example for tho benefit of the army. 5. He is a man of business habits. —I never have known Gen. Taylor to give up a day to pleasure. I have never vis ited his quarters without seeing evidence most of his days in the free wilds of the West—has served his country long and failhfully, and has enjoyed the confi dence of Jefferson, Madison and Jack- son in the more harmonious days of the democracy. Such a man is now the standard bearer of our party; and we support him ; and this wc could do wilh a nearly good will, independent of our obligations to party. “ Wc think Gen. Cass’ construction of the Constitution is an ample “ provi so” against the further cxienson of slave ry. He says Congress has not the pow er to abolish slavery where it legally exists, nor to institute jt where it does not. It docs not now exist iu the ter ritories of New Mexico nnd California— and according to (&n. Cass’ doctrine it cannot exist there by any act of Con gress.
