The War Movements in Aaiue. The Saco Herald state* that a mes-encer ar rived in that town on Monday evening lasi from F rederteton, N. 8., with despatches for Governor | Faiifieid, the purport of which is as follows: L eut. Gov. Harvey informs Gov. Fairfield that the Governdr General of the Canadas lias ; ordered a detachmen*—how large a detachment i is not stated—of her Majesty’s troops on the Madawaj-ku territory, for the (ostensible} pur- j pose of aiding the civjl magistrates in those set- | elements in the execution of the laws of the Fro unce. am! in protecting tho right* of her Ma jesty’s subjects. Sir John disclaims having had any thing to do with the matter, and slates that in a letter to the Governor General, he advised the withdrawal of the troops, and the substitu tion of an armed civil posse —such as the State i of M aine now employs on the Aroostoock terri tory —as amply sufficient for all the purposes fur ! which,the troops are intended. It is understood that upon the receipt of Sir John Harvey’s letter, Governor Fairfield wrote immediately to Washington, informing the Pres ident of this last infringement of the rights of 1 Maine, and of course demanding that the troops be removed, either hy negotiation or by force. We have just been informed by a gentleman from the upper part of the country, (as well as upon the authority of a letter from that quarter to a gentleman in this place) that a short t-me previous to his departure, a detachment of the 36th regiment, consisting of 150 men, 1 Captiin and 2 sahaikerrts under the command of Col. Eden, had arrived at the' - Madawaska settlement and taken up quarters about two miles below that j river’s mouth, where they are to be stationed for the present, no doubt, to waten the movements and check Ihe ii roads our unruly neighbors have been making into that part of the province. It is also slated that -he detachment for some time past stationed at the Uegele, or the foot of the lake, has been reinforced Tom the same corps. We have it from very good authority, inat this sudden and very judicious movement was Drought about by overtures the Americans have been mak ing to obtain possession and jurisdiction in that settlement—a representation of which very promp iy made by Sir John Harvey to H. E. the Gov ernor General, and who has as promptly aim gallantly responded to ihe call in support of our claim and indefeasible right to the soil, and goes fully to prove the determination of Her Majesty’s Government losnpporl and carry out that claim. Woodstock Times , From the Soima Free Press. Rumors of Insurrections in Alabama. For several days our community has evinced some excitement, on account of vague rumors current in regtrd to contemplated insurrections of negroes in Montgomery and Sumter counlhs. In relation to that in Montgomery, we are not in possession of such facts upon wmcb we can rely, as to enable us in detailing them with any de gree of accuracy. We have no doubt, however, that the reports in circulation grew out of trivial circumstances, which have been greatly magni fied. as the Montgomery papers do not allude to the existence of ary alarm there. We puhhfh below, from tbo Livingston paper, an account ol the circumstances which give rise to apprehen sions in Sumter; it appear* they had their origin in false information derived from a worthless In dian. Whilst upon this subject, it may not be im proper to suggest to the owners of slaves (though the rumors alluded to raav occasion no uneasi ness)to keep a vigilant eye over their conduct and actions, and to perform regular patrol auty. During the approaching Christmas holidays, large collections of negroes will be assembled as is customary-, if they be permitted ; and these a»- aeaihlagee should be particularly watched. From the Voice of Sumter. An excitement ha* prevailed among the citizens of our town and a port-ion of our county for the week, caused by an apprehension that oui slave population intended an insurrection. Th»- circumstances that caused the alarm are many but perhaps none weighed so heavily upon ihe xnixuJi «f It* fUUiDi ft* the • oafo*wn« ts to la- mi nif rirTriinmmrfr 1 ji v jwwwm J-ian of the Choctaw tribe, known among ug by ! the name of Henry. He stated that an Indian j chief (Lillie Leaner) rending about twenty miles j from this place, near Payneville, iti'cedtd ilia: 1 iris warriors and our slaves should unite and tfo- I strov the the whites, and stated that he had b eu j commissioned hy Little Leader as an agent to in- 1 cite the negroes, into hostilities, &c. His tale was long ond well told, and caicula'cd to awakt n up our citizens to a sense of their danger. Upon me strength of which, a meeting of the citizens of our town and the vicinity look place—a cou ple of companies were formed—one of noise and :he other of infantry, to act should any case oc cur to require it. And the citizens also resolved that it was necessary for the safely of the country, • that Little Leader should be appiehet dea. where- i upon the horse company, commanded !>y Capt. • PbilipS. Glover. left on Sunday morning last for 1 t hat purpose, and returned with him and another j Indian hy the name of Bob, (who was implicated |on Monday morning. During the day on Sun day. some twenty or thirty negroes were brought to our town on a charge of toeing concerned in, or knowing to, a contemplated insurrection. On Monday, Tuesday anti Wednesday, two of qur justices sat hicessantiy as a committing court, and after hearing all the evidence adduced before them, committed for trial one, trio property of John C. McGrow, named Jac.\, and another the property of Foster, named Willis, to be tried on or before the 23d inst. From what we could glean and pick up, we doubt not hut that an in surection was meditated, and that it was gen - railyMalked of among our slaves, but we do not ihiuk they had set any particular time to com mence their hellish and diabolical acts. Every negro taken up seemed to have heard something about it, hut their ideas appealed somewhat to tie a con fused notion of Eieing free; they all con ur in the statement that the matter had been taikid of ever sime last June. Upon the whole, we confidently believe the danger (if any liter,; has been) is now over, and we won d recommend to our country friends to keep up strict patrols l*r some time to come, so as to scour each night in the wee i the wnoie country, and eveiy master *nd overseer should tee that his slaves are kep. constantly at home, and under discipline. Uur town has organized its patrol; so that from ten to twelve men walk the streets through each night, ibis being dene, we have uo doubt but that peace and happiness will be again restored. The In dians, Little Leader and Bob, were acquired on Tuesday; and from what we head ol the mat ter, we are led to believe tne accusation against t.hem was false. Nevertheless, the times require that we should be on the alert and keep a good look out for danger. The Inal of Jlrs. Kinney. Hannah Kinney, charged with the murder of her husband by poison, was put on trial before the Supreme Court, in Boston, on Monday the , 9lh. The prisoner appeared at the bar, dressed entirely in black. Her features were calm, and her mind apparently unmoved. The list of jurors was called over, and after the counsel for the j prisoner had challenged eight, the jury was ern j panelled for ihe trial. j The indictment was read by the clerk, charg i iiJg the prisoner with having, in August lasi. I wilfully caused the death ot her husband, George j T. Kinney, by mixing while arsenic w.th some | herb tea, which was given him to drink. The Mercantile Journal gives the following j summary ot the case for the prosecution as star ed by M r. Parker : J be prisoner was mar ird 2Gih Nov. 183 S, by the Rev. Mr. Biagden, and was five years older than her husband. Mr. Kinney, during his sickness, wa* exceedingly ihirsiy. and was ! advised by an attendant friend to lake some herb ; lea. i Ins lea was p epareo hy the pns mer, who j was requested not to sweeten tt.

Then* was a pnat mortem examination, an I tne contents ot the stomach were analyzed by Dr. Martin (day. Tiie postmortem examination was tnade hy Drs. J. B. S. Jackson, Storer and | Bigelow. On the question of suicide. Mr. Join: | j Barnes will give important testimony, to »h m- : that the deceased did not kill himself. After quoting several authorities, dilating upon i the important nature of the Inal and its ditficui i ties; and showing the nature of presumptive | evidence, Mr. Parker stated the questions which would be presented to the jury, as follows; Ist. Did G. T. Kinney die hv poisoning* 2d. Was it a case of suicide ? 3d. Did the piisoner administer that poison, or some one else ? 4ch. Was it administered feloniously, or by accident ? Disasters at Sea, retorted r.v the tear 1940.—A record of disasters at sea has been kept i at the office of the American .Seamen’s Fiiend Society, during the year past, as in former years. Such only have been noted as have resulted in Hie total loss ot the vessel. The greater part of them were wrecked on the coast of the United States, and the most of them were American vessels. Tho following is the result; Ships and barques 67 Urigs 120 Schooners. 233 J9.earn boats 14 (Mass unknown 81 Total • 521 Os these there were lost towards the close of the year 1839, principally in the mouth of De cember, hut reported in this year 212 Last in January 20 February 26 March 31 • April 22 May 19 Jun» 9 July 15 August 17 September 14 * October 44 November December Time not asceitaimd 54 By these disaster* many lives were lost; 684 have been ascertained, and in regard to many others, the crews were msdng. and in all prol.a hility perished with the vessel. Added to this, 39 vessels have been reported as missing during he year, which, in all probability, went to the iottom, with all tneir crews. The statistics ex lihit in some faint degree the perils of the sea. and teach us, in most emphatic language, that what we do for saiiors should he done quicklv.

Ster ile craigs ojrerlmng verdant fields; woody pre cipices clung to the sides of deep glens*; and foaming-torrents came leaping »nd brawling from the heights into lo< hs which threw back the frowning shadows of the mountains. We left our cloaks ?wifi other etceteras at the inn of Ard i kencrockran, and with two boat nan for -guide, -t, entered the rocky puss of ihe Trosachs, that like giant* stand To scntiael enchanted land. After walking a mile of two, we emerged from Ineir wild mazes, when a dark sheet of water lay befoie us. listening with slightly agitated bo som to the breeze harp of surrounding motiti i tains. Loch Katrine is beautiful—yea, roman ! tic—and woukl oe, though the Lady of tiie Lake j had never Ix-on born. The boatman rowed us to i Ellen’s Island and all the other store d, spots, and 1 landed us a!, the base ot Ben-venue; on the j crown of whose lisad »e determined to set our j feet ere we returned to Ardkencrockran. A ■ fierce sun was pouring his zenith arrows upon jus when we commenced the ascevif. We found B n a wearisome fclhiw to wrestle w ith.

Now the bfOlv ill lien-Lotii glowed with a oolii cn rartianre ; mcJ then it was sm udt-d with a ! paH of darkness.

At one moment, t the long range of the Ochi.ls were covered with | heavy black garments— in Hie next, they stood i dreet in living green.

A heavy cloud would occasionally ■ cross ihe sun's di*k, and cover the whole scene with a tsick brown curtain. The breeze would rFr-.tl it in ribbons and scatter itovvn a profusion of light and shade, he.e soft, there intense, which as it danced over the variegated peaks and ridgen, strikingly resembled the vagaries of the Autora Borealis in its wildest moods. The Lowland prospect was scarcely less ex ten- ! sive and inviting. At the southeast stretched the | broad plain of Carse of Stirling, whose cultivated i fields, checkered with yellow grain and green i meadows, contrasted beautifully with the stern grandeur of the Highlands. 7’be eye slid gradu ally down the sides of she mountain into this softened vale—now wait hing the smoke as it cu*l ed from the chimneys of the diminutive farm cot tagea —now tracing the hedgerows, which, in the distance, resembled inky lines drawn on an un rolled map, and now mil wing the course of the Forth, whose windings shone under tbe beams of the sun like tiie folds ot a gfitte-ung serpent.

The next morning we started for the head of 1 Loch Katrine—twelve in a boat, propelled by ' four stout Highlanders, who sung Gaelic songs and lecited passages from the Lady of the Lake I keeping time with their oars. The sail wasdt ( lightful—lifting the curtain npon most picturesque scenery that shiifted and displayed new beauties ■at every dip of the oar. Reality and fiction have vied with each other in throwing their varied | charms over the scene. The lake— which lies in an irregular ravine formed oy the juxta position of several high mountains—ts of great depth, and 1 its waters are as clear as a minor. As our boat ! dimpled its surface, the blue arch and white lira- J pery of I tie heavens, seemed as if floating in the I depths below. , , W e double the nolo beadLnds and rocky sleeps that open the mouths of ca'cs which the super ' stition ot the rude natives who inhabit this se cluded region h;is peopled with the gnosts of de i parted chieftains. Waiving lines ot silver heat h, j laved with trie rippling* of Ihe waves, next greet I the esc. We escape IHe shadows of on abmpt promontory, when a rustic cottage clinging as tor r i{s hfe* to tbe sides <■!: a mountain, peep-limn ihe trees, and sends from its narrow sliip of verdure down to the water’s edge. The eye ilien glances I up a daru glen, which of yore, drank the blood j of hostile clans; and anon it rests upon a tubed knoll, whose every tree and shrub nave been gar : lauded with the wildest romance by the hand of i poe-.y. Irr one of the defiles of the Ttos.irha, ■[ that fuaoi behind us. is the verrahle grave oft ‘rom j; well’s soldier who was shot by tne highlaruhts j when he was canning with his parly ot marau ders to ravage .these forbidden regions ; and just : bene.rth it lies the quiet Island whence the meal : Llien, | With hasty oar, , Push’d her light shsllopfrorii the si ore. i As we approach the west cud of the lake, the i v’cw is houndea y a range of m< un’a.rie, at ‘whose base Robert MacGiegor Camptv II was 1 bo hi. Yotider stands a modem house occupying | the site of the hot within whose walls Rob Roy fir.-t saw the light. It is a fit spot for the birlli placet)} the daring outlaw. We have.now reach ed flic landing-place, and must gel all things re»- j dy for passing the glen between Loch Katrine j and Loch Lomond. Cloaks, trunks, umbrellas, guns and guide-hot ks, are hastny disembarked, and the competitor;? strife among the pony tlnveis i j has commenced. Theie were at least two ponies ! apiece tor us (provided vve hud all chosen to ride) and bo, ihe equestrian* set them elvss up at aui tioti. ihe bidding was spirited, and in a short 1 [ time all the bipods wen? furnished with quadiu pt d- ar a reasonable p ice, A vny large tie man ; lady (a Countess I believe) was placed on a very j small p my. Thelmle Shetlander was entire ly covered by t-he mountain of flesh mi hie back. ; Jfe frisked about winle two attendants held the ■ , Countess on—she never having placid fool iu [ stirrup before. -Dm oeast is var too small tor; me,” said the terror sirhken lady, as the hule lei low danced a Scotch reel under the overw helming amplitude of her cloak anti rones. ’I he pony not being versed ia high Dutch, mistook the words for a cry to break away, and scampering ! off with the speed ot a squirrel, down came ihe 1 Countess—an immense massi»t fallen human nn- | , tore. The pony was low, the g:aas was high. the lac]j w.a? fat. and conpi quemly, nobody was hurt, though all were frightened— especially the Countessand the pony. Tally on her feet, she | laughed, w hicb «<u a signal tor a general roar by ( the whole company. Ail agreed that it was a ; greet fall—the large, t event of the morning.; j An such, I note it. When halfway through the pass, we stopped at a hut. in a little valley called Corr’aralet. to , ■ a long Spanish musket which has been shown ; las Rob Roy’s timeout of mind. The old woman ! who owns it is a relative of Rob; and in con- 1 j nexion with the fact that he for a lime dwell in 1 this glen, which also is the birth-place of Helen j ; McGregor, the gun may be regarded as j worth looking at The whole cavalcade airived t «-«feJy at Inversnaid Mil!—the vanguard bring led i by an American lady, who rode her poney fke | i another Die Vernon—while the tVuntess, with 1 one man leading her panting animal, and two 1 I holding her on.brought up the rear. While wai- : ; ting tor tfee steamer, which was to gi>e us the | circuit of Loch Lomond, we rambled a few bun died yards up the banks of the cataract that i leaps from the heights into the lake at this spn, | throwing its spray into the windows of the hum ble cottage hy the shore—the scene alluded to by Wordsworth in his address to the mountain maid, — Sweet Highland girl ! a very shower Os beauty is thy earthly dower. The steamer showed us the fine scenery of Loch Lomond, and landed us at the head of the Leweqp Yours, &c. Rambler. - ■ ' ; A Cuixesb Disor.—Many persons have j supposed, who only know the Chinese super ficially. that g nation so grave, so sedate, and so ; monotonous, cannot include tiiher lops •or bnn \ vivanfx. They are, however, mistaken; lew ■ countries possess more of these worthies than ! China, though perhaps their talent- are rmt car- 1 ned to so goat an excess as in any o.her parts j ot the world*. The dress of the Chinese pe'it maitre . is very expen-ive, being composed ot tile must costly skins or carpets; his hoots nr shoes are of a pa*iic ular shape dml made of richest black satin ut Nankin, the soles ae ot a I certain height; his knee caps are eteganilv en - broidered ; his cap and nutmns are of theie it* si cut; his pipes elegant and high paced; his to-! facto ol the best manufacture of Fokin; an ! English gold watch, a tooth pick hung ut hi- ' button, with a string of valuable peail-; a fan • 5 trom Nankin, scented with chulun fiic.e e. Such are the persona! appointments of a Chinese i dandy. 1 ■ Lattding or TfiK PiLGiiiMs.—Tuesday. the |* s S2d instant, was the ann versary of ihe landing \ ui the Pilgrims, and the occasion is thus referred to ia the >*l) ladelphia Standard ; One hundred and twenty years ago. the Pil ggilm Fathers kimhd in New England.
