n twenty two Jays passage.
News reached Vera Cruz just previous to the
■ailing of the Ann Eliza, that forty seven Ameri
•an citizens had been taken prisoners at Monlros
)ii tiie California, by order of Government, and
sent in chains to San Bias, in charge of Genera!
,\rrista, and twenty five Mexican troops. They
ft-ere arrested on the charge of planning a revolu
lioii. When they arrived at San Bias the Brit
ish Consul had them instantly liberated, and de
tained the General and his troops. The Mexi
cans had become jealous of the Americans, and
bence the outrage.
We now learn positively that Carnpeachy is in
possession of the Federalists. The town capitu
lated on the 4th ult. and not on the 2d, as before
stated. The government troops were daily ex
pected from them at Vera Cruz, when the Ann

i Ax Argument in Mississippi.— The New-
I ark,N. J. relates the following from a friend,
i kvho has recently visited Mississippi, and describes
Ikhe Harrison enthusiasm there as exceeding all
■■bounds.
5 He was met at the door by a Loco Foco neigh
■llior and his reason for showing a disposition to
I change demanded. “Why,” replied the honest
i farmer, “let me tell you. In good old Jackson
■times I rqiigpd 20 bales o, cotton, sold them read-
Bply got my money, paid all expenses, and had a
■ small balance left. Now under this Sub Trea
sury, Van Buren concern, I raise 40 bales, and
■cannot find market for half the quantity at half
I the price, and the money which I do get is not
I worth half the face of it, so ihat I can neither pay
■ expenses nor lay up anything. The earth is
■fruitful and abundant, but the market is destroy
■jed.and in the place of the gold currency which
B Denton and the Globe promised us years ago, we
Rgetnothing but irredeemable bank rags. This is
I my reason for change. The Administration has
■I cheated us by false promises,and I go for a change,
II for any change must be better than this state of
i| things.”

Important Decision in Illinois. —The su
preme court of Illinois, lately in session at Spring
field, have at length pronounced their decision in
the so long and ably argued at the previous
term of the court The case involved the right,
under the const tution of the State, of an alien to
vote. The court affirmed the judgment of the
circuit court, which dei lared that an alien had not
the right to vote. Illinois and Michigan are the
only States in the Union by which this privilege
has been accorded to citizens not naturalized. So I
far as the first named State is concerned, this con
struction of the constitution can no longer prevail.
J his renders Illinois doubly sure for Harrison.
In 1838, the State was carried by the Van Buren
party ii. consequence of the voting of three thou
sand aliens employed on the canals and other pub
lic
nineteen-twentieths of these men voted the ad
ministration ticket. They will in future be ex
cluded from this privilege.
The New York Journal of Commerce publishes
the following letter as being important to shippers
of Cotton and underwriters:
Extract of a letter dated j
Liverpool, June sth, IS4O.
Most of the vessels that have lately arrived
have seriously damaged their cargo between decks,
so much so that when the receivers cannot receive
from the ship, they make a claim when practicable,
I against the underwriter, who will not pay when
they can avoid it; and moreover they have an
nounced that they will not be liable for any losses
or damage, by vessels that bring cotton on deck ,as
they say that it will not only make the vessels 1
unseawoithy, but also cause extra straining, and
I is the means of damaging the cargo. The opinion
I is, that owners of vessels bringing deck loads, are
liable, and will be held responsible for all damages
I and losses.
Mr. Van Buren contends, that negroes should j
be allowed to vote and admitted as witnesses to
swear away the character of officers of the navy, j
and yet Mr. Van Buren, say the loco foco papers,
is *a N'urlhem man with Southern principles ” 1

The Three Jolly Husbands.— The jolly i
husbancs, out in the country, by the name Tim
Watson, Joe Brown, and Bill Walker, sat late
one evening drinking at a village tavern, until
being pretty well corned, they agreed that each ,
ofie, on returning home, should do the first thing j
that his wife told him, in default of which he
should the next morning pay the bill. They then
separated for the night, engaged to meet again the
next morning, and give an honest account of
their proceedings at home, so far a« they related
to the bill.
The next morning Walker and B.own were
early at their posts; but it was some time before
Watson made his appearance. Walker began
first.
“ sec when I entered my house the candle
was out, and the fire gave but a glimmering of a
light, I came near walking accidently into a pot of
batter th .t the pancakes were to be made of this
morning.—My wife who was d.eadfully out of
humor at sitting up so long, said to me sarcasti
cally,” *
“ Dnqrit your feet in the baiter /” “ Just as
you say Maggy,” said Land without the least hes
itation I sot my foot into the pot of batter, and
then went to bed.”
Next Joe Brown told his story. “My wife
had already retiree to rest in our usual sleep
ing room, which adjoins the kitchen, and the
door ot which was ajar, not being able to navi
gate pcrfeclly well, you know, I made a dreadtul
clattering among the household furniture, and
my wife in no very pleasant tone bawled out,
‘Do break the porridge pot, Joe." No sooner
said than done. I seized hold the bail of the pot,
and striking against the chimney jam broke it in
a hundred pieces. After this exploit I retired to
rest and got a curtain lecture all night for my
pains.
It was now Tom Watson’s turn to give an ac
count of himself, which be did with a very long
face, as fo’lows:
My wife gave me the most unlucky command
in the world; for I was blundering up stairs in
the dark, and she cried out, *"JJu break your * - o/-
len neck , do Torn .-” “I’ll be cursed if I do,
Kate,” said I, as I gathered myself up, “I’ll soon
er pay the bill.” And so, landlord, here’s the
cash fgr you. This is the last time I’ll e\er risk
five dollars on the command of my wife.
Doss! Doss!! Dors!!! —We find the fol
lowing laughable remarks in the Philadelphia
North American. If any body can read the sec
ond paragraph without laughing they have a bet
ter command of their nsibles than we pretend to
have;
Mad Dogs. —The ordinance against dogs run
ning at large is now in force, and we trust will be
vigorously executed. From some cause or other
hydrophobia appears on the increase, at least there
&ie more cases reported. Wo speak not now of
or.
re-
Mr.
the drunkard's hydrophobia, bad enough in all
conscience, which rages as much during sleighing
time as in the dog days; but of that awful—be
cause incurable—calamity, canine madness.
Dogs should not be permitted to go at large in
cities at any season of the year. As companions
two legged pupies are preferable, because they
will not bite; and as visitors they are little else
than portable nu'sances, for the conveyance of fleas
and dirt.
We love a dog in his proper sphere; ranging in
the country, showing his wonderful powers of
scent, and sagacity, and guarding his master’s
property with untiring vigilance. There is-a re
spectable dogmatism in our country dog, particu
larly about tan yards, that we have a huge re
spect for. In our younger days we once read that
“if a dog should attack you, nothing need be done
but to turn your back to him, stoop forward,and
look between your legs at the assailant;”
and that the fiercest cur on earth would slink
back abashed. We tried the recipe once, and
only escaped a bite by tumbling head over heels
into a tan vat, on whose edge the first experi
ment was tested. Decidedly, the inventor of that
protection was a humbug.
We have no respect however for your town
curs, yelping, baying disturbers of sleep; howl
ing occupants of back yards, where tied up by a
short rope in a kennel, they scare sleep from a
whole square; sneaking, mangy, interlopers in
to small yards and alleys after swill buckets and
offals; pest and calamities to a whole community
for the bite of one of these, so small that you see
it not till you kick it over in passing, may entail
death. On all such we cry aloud and spare not.
May the ‘ketchers’ thrive and multiply; and we
hold him no good citizen who ihwaAs them in
their duties.

A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in

day afternoon, May 38, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the Let, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
ndividuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to "their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL,

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
■nine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom
Punstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
[ am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
a stock as any horse in the United States.—
Be was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
>wing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
>ld, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Ckyer,. Gallatin, Tennessee, you can get a full
nedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Maiy
:ombined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
ireds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee.—
>he was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
mported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Vrchie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
iorse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
mportations of the last century;) great grand-dam
>y the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
lam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
jreat-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
er race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
;reat-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
;reat-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
dd Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou
:ey.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
o trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
vill require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
