A Makkid Individual.—A scamp Uteiy
escaped from the French Police, whose ideas of
roguery roust have been an afterthought in his
life ; else he would not have taken so much pains
to aid the officer* to advertise and identify him
The advertisement offering a reward thus de
scribes him:
“He is tattooed upon his breast with an altar,
surmounted by a bust and three columns; ipon
the left arm a weeping willow, a dove, a star, an
eltar supporting two hearts, over which are two
doves, holding a crown, the po'traits of a man
and woman, a wheel, two bracelets, two branches
of a tree, and a compass; on the left thumb a
star, and on the middle fingeraring; on the
right arm he has an altar surmounted by a cu| id
holding a flag, and over it a death’s head, with
the words, Hatred, Vengeance, Death ,- a
two portraits, as on the left arm, a wheel a braert
let, a heart pierced with two swords, a dagge|
and two pistols, A heart pierced with an arroig
is tattooed on his 'ight thumb.’’ f
Aliases could not benefit this gentleman much;
at any rate. The only trouble in identify
ing such a chap would be that of reading stub
a long list of hieoglyphics by copy.
Cooper aoai.v it the Field We underj
stand that the distinguished Mi. Fcnnimore Coop
er has instituted a suit against Mr. Benjamin, o|
. the New World newspaper, fol a libel, laying hif|
damages at >SOOO. It is surprising to what art
immense extent the novelist’s character has beens
damaged, if we may take his own word far it?
If he can only realize from all his suits, he mayi
abandon novel writing, and live en grannd stg-\
near at his seat at Cooperstown, contemplating!
his ancestral cabbage garden. The objectionable*
matter, we suppose, was contained in a review off
the novelist’s last publication, the name of which,
does not now occur to us. We believe' that it|
was a work of fiction, of some fashion, but its|
precise character lias quite escaped our recollec-|
tion.—A*. Y. Cour. Sf Enquirer. |

Interesting Incidents.— On the 19th off
April, 1775, Captain Isaac Davis, of Massachu-I
setts, was killed by the British at Concord. The
first American officer that fell in the war of the '
Revolution. 5
On the 11th of May, 1775, information of that
memorable event was sent by express, from
Georgetown, S. C. by Paul Trapier, S. Wragg, ;
P. Trapier, jr. and Anthony Banneau, to the I
committee of intelligence, in Charleston, to the i
care of Win. Henry Drayton, esq.
On the 11th of May, 1840, sixty-five years |
thereafter, the Hon. Mr. Preston, of South Caro- i
hna, advocated with great power and eloquence,
in the Senate of the U. S. the granting of a pen
•ion to the widow of Captain Davis, then in the
94th year of her age—and Mr. Calhoun opposed
it. Granted, 31 to 9.— N. Y. Express.
Curious Custom.—When Poland was a
kingdom, some of its laws and customs were
odd enough. When any person was convicted i
ot having slandered, another, he was obliged in
open court to prostrate himself on the ground,
lying between the extended logs of the party
whom he had unjustly accused, and there to con*
fess. with a loud voice, that in publishing or as
serting what he had asserted against him, he had
Led like a dog ! and then at three several and
distinct limes, tn hark as loud as he could, after
the fashion of the animal he had just mentioned'
A Mirror of Beauty.—Queen Elizabeth,
admiring the elegance of the Marquis Villade
Medina, a Spanish nobleman, complitnenler him
on it, begging at the same time, to know who
possessed the heart of so accomplished a cavalier!
** Madam,’ said he, “a lover risks l.vo much on
such an occasion; but your maje>ty’s will is law.
Excuse me, however, if I fear to name her; but
request your majesty’s acceptance ol her portrait.”
He sent her a looking glass.

APPJLING FEMALE ACADEMY.
THE Trustees of the Appling Female Academy,
of Columbia county, are desirous of procur
ing the services of a competent English Teacher,
and also a competent music Teacher, lo take charge
of the Institution on the opening of the second
f Session,on the first of July next. Application can
be made to the 1 rustees direct, or through the Edi
tors of the Chronicle & Sentinel.
, GABRIEL JONES, Sec’y.
( Appling, May 23d, 1840. ts
I SciUTll-CAROLINA FEMALE INSTI
, TUTE.
FYMHE djties of this Institution,under the direc-
JL tion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. Well
ington H. Tyler, will be resumed on the first
October ensuing.
Twenty-two years of past service is the p'edge
which one 0 the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to 'he
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following,
among other testimonials, are offered :
“i*Jr. Wellington 11. Tyler is a graduate of this
College After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the duties of hi* office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel.
It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and peifectly well qualified to take
charge of any Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. H Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839.
This may certify, That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11. Tyler,
having known him as a member of this College, of
which he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since a? a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and 1 take great pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our
literary institutions. N. W.Fiske
Prof Int. and Mor. Phi’y.”
Mrs. T is amply recommended by the Principals
of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs.
Yates of Union College, and Joslin of the New
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly responsible duties which will devolve
upon them, will aim at practical results, and at
tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their
care for the duties of real life, than to gain for
them the admiration too often bestowed upon »-r
--raticgenius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical developtment of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, will it leave the pupil in the coimition of a
traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which he
is lo travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than
any number of the result- of otheis’ reasonii g;
the love 01 knowledge and a mind well disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount of knowledge without
such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as
a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant
reservoir of however great dimensions.
They will aim, in short, at combining, in the
highest practicable degree, the advantages of home
• education with those which, in the general, can
only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
togetherlor the same object at concentrating the
endearments of home,iis social sentiments and its
proprieties of file—for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied
I with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be percc.ved that the new arrangement
loaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It
• will he the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions of the South.—
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, res
pecting our arrangements and the advantages of
them —matters, which have already and repeatedly
, been submitted to the notice of the public, and as
it would seem, met their approbation.
The regular Terra of the institute consists of
nine months, commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
divided into tu o Sessions.of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
, at the commencement of the Term ; they will
however, be received a) any period *f the Tern/
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institution will be open five days of the
- week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m.
. to 5 p m. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
books, stationary, postage, and necessary articles
such as shoes, &c. unless an advance is made in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In
stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.

I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the first order, but I tear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cbyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir '
Archie ; grand-dam Saily Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, 1
(son of O’Kellex’s Eclipse, and one of the purest ;
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler;great-great-grand- (
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
tet race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great- ,
great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; j
great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s {
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mon
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary s
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none \
will require a purer or better attested pedegreel— ,
