Pablo Fillieu sworn—The last time I saw my husband alive was oh the 25lh of Oc- tober; he whs then at our bouse in the parish of St Bernard; on that night a crowd of some four hundred negroes had come np .the road; they had approached very slowjy, and finally stopped in : front of our residence; one of them cried “halt,” and they all halted; they were armed with all kinds of kniyes, pitch- late it may be of old junk; cinnamon is largely adulterated with' cassia. This is suposed by the unsophisticated to be the same thing, but with_ a network of such waters, . enclosing arcEpelagb afler archipelagoofislands, from one mile to fifty mileslong. I did notknojv,' nor’did anybody aboard our ship .know,' whether we got a sight of the -wnrin land or not during the entire voyage. ' .- > The fcoak survey is a good institution, and baa done great service to the science.of geog raphy, and it is possible that it may have been in the scheme of Providence to give it a perpetual lease of, life ; certainly if it ;is ever extended over that wilderness of waiers the officere engaged-upon it may exclaim “A thousand years are. aa one day” .in such an undertaking. - ' it is not; the cinnamon bark is thin, brittle and aromatic; the cassia hark is much stout er, more.pungent, and leaves a bitter taste. It is sold everywhere for .genuine cinnamon. Nutmegs are frequently deprived of a portion of their essential oil by distillation, and after being well.covered and rubbed with lime, are again sent into market. Thus in want of their most valuable properties, they feel light, and are dry and brittle. If on the surface small punctures appear, it is certain that a great, portion of their essential oil has been extracted. In France, damaged or worm- eaten. nutmegs art doctored thus: The small apertures are covered by a kind of cement formed Of oil, flour, and powder of refuse nutmegs. These fraudulent nnts are shipped in large quantities to America. Baked House’s Liver.—Our statement that horse’s Ever is used as an adulterant of coffee has shocked many of oar readers of delicate stomach. The process of using the adulter ant in England is described in Hassell thus: After baking the horse's and bullock's liver, it is ground into .a powder,, and sold to low price coffee shop dealers. The best way to detect the adulteration is to set aside an in fusion of the suspected coffee, and if animal matter, be present in a few days the liquid .will omit an offensive smell. An Atrocity—An English gentleman con versant with the process of adulterations in his own country informs ns that old coffins have been ground.up in London and mixed with coffee to give it a peculiar and much af fected flavor. We have not yet been able to ascertain if the practice is in vogue here, though we fear our poisoners of food are none too good for such an atrocity. Fios. —Our readers have observed the small boxes of figs sold at the street comers all over the city at a low price. They are old, damaged, and wormy figs, steamed and fixed over and put into new boxes.

There being no ain- swer, those that knocked returned again in the road; ray husband was at the time in the rear of the house, and, upon entreaties being used, said he wenld do nothing if they did not trouble him. After the four men had withdrawn to the road, a volley of at least fonr hundredshots were fired at the house; whereupon my hiis- band ran to the balcony and fired at the crowd; he Returned to reload his gun; while he was loading the negroes again fired. ‘ My husband the second time fired npon them. This interchange of volleys was five times re peated. . At the end of that time I ran to the window to see,if they were going away. ' I then discovered that they had possession of a load of hay. I saw them come in frontof the steps of the house, pile up the hay and set fire to it. I went to my husband and fold him they :had set fire to oar house. He thereupon went round and fired another musket shot. After this he returned and or dered me to go away and save the children; who were six in number. There was present only my sister, a white boy, and a colored girl. Each grow none of our party took a child and went toward the woods by the back way. That was the lost time I Baw my hus band., The pegro Brown, now in court,, halted me in going oat of the gate toward the field. He was then crouching by the fence. When I refused to halt, he ahbt at me. F then stopped, and, coming up, the man threw himself Upon me. I begged his par don, when he interrogated me, and I asked him to save my life and that of my poor chil dren; He cursed me, and said “D—n you, I have pity on the baby in your arms, but none on yon.” Continuing to beg for mercy, he finally told me to go. After I had started to run, lie commenced calling to the crowd in the road. He now cursed me again, and BY TELEGEAPH — TO — THE MORNING NEWS. This is one good thing. There is another.

The sudden and widening breach between General Grant and the Fortieth Congress is the topic of the capitol to-night. No new annunciatons have been made by the Presi dent elect. He has not referred to the sub ject, and only casual callers have dropped into his headquarters. His position, stated in these despatches last night, to the effect that he demands the repeal of the Civil Ten ure law, and the continuance of the law pro viding for Congress to meet in March, has .been confirmed to-day by the flutter it has caused in the Radical circles. A few Sena tors, Nye, Morgan, Sumner and Stewart are here, and had an informal meeting to-day in in reference to the new situation. These Senators were, without exception, in favor of the continuance of the Civil Tenure bill, no matter what may be the result. . They de clared that Congress was prepared to yield nothing to dictation, and that General Grant’s extraordinary and peremptory demand ought at least to have been postponed until the occa sion of his message,andthenbeen respectfully couched in the form of a proclamation; They EFFINGHAM SHERIFFS SALE; TT7TLL BE SOLD BEFORE THE COURT HOUSE!

The note was not paid at maturity nor protested,: and no notice given of non-payment to-Laws or Henckle.

The reason of this is not given. Whether the politicians think there are not more than enough offices for themselves, or that they are more competent for such.duties than naval or military men; or whetherit implies jealousy and distrust of General Grant and military rule—we are left to conjecture. If the first suggestion be the true one, and civilians wish to absorb civil offices themselves, that would be in keeping with the disinterested patriotism of the age ! If the latter—a dread of military ascend- ancy—be the true motive, the Hon. politi cians are rather too late.

Before he left here he purchased a pistol, and when in Washington, on Wednesday^ while in conversation with a gentleinan named Williams about the weapon, handed it to him for inspection.
