Qallant Action* In the Republican of the 8th Inst., we promlaed to our reaiera the particulars of the action between the privateer aohooner Hazard, and the Britlab ship Al bion, aa well aa the British cutter Caltdonia. We have naver had it in our power till now to realize the ^Extract from the Log Book of the private armed trhr. Hazard, of Charleston, commanded by Placide le Chattier• The private armed aohooner Hazard of Charles ton 57 Iona burthen, commanded by Placide Le Char- tier, mounting I cartage gun, a iux pounder and 2 •ix pound carronadeaarmed with 38 men, the captain indoahre ; while at anchor off the Island of Davie, at half past 10 o’clock, discovered a man of war brig esoortlngd merchantmen, ono of which bad lost her mfoen mast, and wai to leeward—remained in that situation until the sloop of war and 4 merchantmen were out of sight, then gave chance until one o’clock, came up with a large armed ship who hoisted Eng lish colors and fired a gun, the privateer likewise hoisted English colon and made for the ship, when within mosket shot, fired our six pounder loaded with ball and grape ahot and poured in our musketry with great violence, which waa but partially returned —at a quarter past one o’clock, while in the act of boarding and keeping np a welldirected and incessant fire which proved so destructive, that they could make no return to irriure us, she struck her colors, at half-past one o’clock, aent a lieutenant and nine men with our boat for the captain, who returned with captain Alexander Nicholson, a native of London, commanding the British copper bottomed ship Al bion of London,from Demerara, bound to London, 36 casks and 300 sacks coffee, and 10 bags cotton. In consequence of captain Nicholson’s being wounded in the action, and their being no convenience to at tend him on board the privateer, he was allowed, agreeable to his request, to return on board of the prize—ordered the prize-master to keep in company with the privateer, made for Charleston, which we auoceededin,and remained off that port for three days, endeavoring to get in, which we could not, In consequence of the weather being very foggy—on the 19tbat 8 o’clock, lost sight of the prize, as soon as the weather cleared went in pursuit of her and con* tinned until Sunday 21st Inst, at half-past 2 o’clock, the man at the top cried out a sail, which a few min utes after proved to be oar prize, the weather still continuing foggy, at 4 o’clock, again lost sight of her, at 8 o'clock weather cleared away a little, and discov ered ourselves off Savannah Light, 8. 8. E.—on the 32d at half-past 8 o’clock again discovered our prize ahont8 miles distant, made all sail for her, at half- past 9 o’clock discovered a British cutter, with our prize which we presumed, she bad recaptured—at 10 o’clock wo hoisted a signal for our prize, which she did not answer; at 11 o’clock she hoisted British colois, and steered in a different direction, continued to panne them both until Tuesday, the 23d at 12 o’ clock, when they commenced firing on ns, at a con siderable distance- Not wishing to waste our pow der, occasionally amused them with a shot until one o'clock, when we came within musket shot, then commenced to fire at the ship and cutter which was answered by them with great promptitude and appa rent determination—at 3 o’clock the second lieuten ant, carpenter, and 5 men were dangerously wound- ded, at 5 o’clock the cutler hauled off to repair the damage caused her—daring the interval ordered an additional supply of cartridges made up, at half-past 6 o’clock hauleu close np, then nearly calm, com menced the attack with great violence, the crew to a man having determined to lose their lives before they would lose this valuable prize, which already cost bo mneb trouble—at half-post G o’clock the Brit ish Cutter again hauled off and continued to Are at a distance, then took advantage or the position, boro down on the prize and with the 6 pounder alone, and brisk attack with musketry, caused her to Btrike her colors, and then ordered her to lay too ; the British Catter having shot ahead, we instantly gave chance, keeping up a tremendous fire with the six pounder and musketry, pursued her until near 8 o’clock, being then nearly out of sight of the prize, the cutter ceas ed firing, hailed ns saying they bad struck, and sig nified the same by hoisting and loweriug a lantern three times, having then but 21 men on board the Hazard, the Captain included, did not think proper to take possession of her. but bore down on the prize, which wo boarded at 9 o’clock, and put on board a prize-master and six men, leaving on board the Haz ard, the British prize-master and crew, who reported .himself to be named Mltchel M'Kee, and delivered the copy of the Cutter’s commission, called the Cale donia, otRamaa, New Providence, commanded by John Hinson, mounting 8 guns, sixes and fours, and navigated by 3G men—kept close in company with oar prize after making several attempts to get into Sa vannah, the wind being from N. N. NY. from the 23d to the 26tb, boro away for 8t. Marys, where both the Hazard and prize arrived safe on the 20th Februa- Daring the above gallant action, with one single G pounder and 21 men, did the valiant Le Cbartier, and his brave crew contend against 30 men on board the British Cutter, and 10 on board the ship, making together 62 men and 20 guns, principally 6 and 9 pounders. During the action which commenced at B o'clock and continued until half-pant 8, an elapse o(8 hours and a half, the crew of the Hazard expend ed 136 six pound shot and, six thousand bail cartrid ges. We, the subscribers, Captain and part of the crew of the British ship Albion, monnting 12 gnns, and now lying in the river St. Marys, do hereby certify, that after an engagement with the privateer schr. Hazard, commanded by Placide Le Cbartier, and our colors were struct to him. we received from said Cap tain all the attention and hospitality, which tends to alleviate the horrors of war and for which attention we take this mode or returning our thanks to Capt. Le Ghartler. Daring the latter part of the action between the British Privateer Caledonian of eight guns, and the American armed schr. Hazard of 3 guns we were in the ship Albion, a considerable distance from the ac tion, and could only see the fire of the guns a part of the time—went below to pay the last does to a dying man, when we came on deck the British Cutter Cale donia had ceased firing, the Hazard still conttnned to fire, when we understood from oar crew, that the Caledonia bad struck, as they saw her hoist and low er a lantern three times; then the Hazard stopped firing, and pot a prize crew on board otir ship.

Long, In prefer ence to a fire eater. “The Algerine Lmv.” As the Republican has seen fit to bring before the people of Savannah the discussion of the so called “ Algerine Law," It Is perhaps right that we should say something in relation to that very remarkable piece of legislation. It is not denied that Mr. Jen kins introduced a petition in favor of, advocated, and voted for the bill. Nor will the Republican deny that its provisions were outrageously abhor* ent to the usually recognized doctrines of popular rights. But it tells ns that Democrats voted Tor It, and a Democratic Governor signed it—Democrats having done wrong—Jknkins wu right in doing wrong / Is there now In existence any respectable court that would entertain such a plea ? Ought not a man of Mr. Jenkins’ claims to parity and independence of character, to be the last to seek to avail himself of it? Especially fllmBy is the excuse that certain—we are not told how many—of bis constituent petitioned for tbe passage of the law. A petition would be no justification unless signed by a majority of the voters of Augusta. This, there is every reason to believe, was not the case, for it seems that Mr. Jenkins was defeated at the eosuiDg election on this very issue.— Besides—as regards the pica of “ instructions "—it is bad os regards Mr. Jenkins :—be happens to belong to a school which repudiates that doctrine—conse quently ho can not claim to be shielded from respon sibility by it. But perhaps some of our readers do not know what the Algerine Law was. l<et them learn from one of its sections: [It was an act to amend tbo several acts In relation to the city of Augusta.] u And be it further enacted. Hint no person shall be allow ed to vote for Aldermen who, in addition to the qualifications now required of voters, does notown real estate of the txtlue of one thousand dollars, according to the annual tax assess, meat next previously made, by the authority of the City Council, or has actually paid a tax to said city of twenty- five dollars on real and personal estate, or either, within the tame year preceding auch election ; and no person shall be eligible as Aldermen who does not possess the qualities, tiona herein prescribed for voters.” No man shall be allowed to vote for Aldermen who does not own real estate to the value of one thousand dollars, or pay a tax to tho amount of twenty-five dol lars 1 And it is the supporter of this law, who, in mockery of popular rights, is set up as tho candidate of the “ republican citizens" of Georgia I Voters of Savannah!—yon who are so nnfortnnate as not to own a thousand dollars worth of real estate—how do you like it? How would yon like to see it applied to this city ? What think you of electing a Governor who is the friend of such enactments? What think yon of the republicanism of its authors? No! no! Mr. Jenkins is not the candidate o! tho " republican citizens "—though as to the ” conservative men of Georgia,” no one could more properly be selected ax their leader than tho advocate of this law. It is the very essence of contemtfism: that conservatism which, in all countries, opposes the extension of pop- alar liberty by restricting the right of voting to the few and wealthier, under the pretended fear that tho many—tho people—an “ levelers,” “ agrarians," and disorganize!*. Upon the whole, we think tbe Republican would have been wise not to call tbo attention of the voters of Savannah to this Algerine Law. It is not a law likely to bo popular in a community a majority of whom would be exclnded by it from the right of voting. This is a right—or a privilege, if you will- os dear to the poor as to the rich. One word further in relation to tbe exci)so that cer tain Democrats voted for this bill. If such be tbe fact, the Republican has doubtless given the true explana tion of their coarse, when it tells us that “ it was merely a local enactment, applicable only to the mu nicipal elections of the city of Augusta.” We believe that it is customary, among our law-makers, to leave all matters of merely local legislation, to Iks settled by tho Representatives of the particular locality whoso Interests are involved. For example, suppose our Representatives bad introduced into the last Le gislature, and advocated a law forbidding any citizen of Savannah tc keep a dog. It is probable that the other members of the two houses would have said “This law concerns Savannah alone—if, therefore, her Representatives and citizens desire its enactment —why. let it pass. It does not concern us, nor our constituents. By voting for It, we gratify Messrs. Anderson, Bartow and Henry. Let ua oblige them.” So, doubtless, thought Gen. Wokpord and other Democrat*, in relation to Messrs. Jenkins and Mil ler’s Algerine Law. " It does not concern us or our constituents. It is applicable only to Augusta. It tho people of that place desire it, as would Beem from the course of their Representatives, let them be grati fied." The fact, doubtless, was, that Mr. Jenkins supported it because he approved the law, while oth ers. reeling no concern in relation to it, allowed It to paasto gratify him and hla colleague. It is not a measure which will gain him votes in this city. Independence Anniversary. Our exchanges from every direction, givo accounts of tho manner in which the recent anniversary of our Nation’s Independence was celebrated. In Boston It was observed in the good old way—no accidents nor outrages to mar tbe festivities of the day. In New York It was publicly observed by va rious civio and military Societies—closing with die* plays of fireworks and mnsio in several of tho public parks in different parts of the city. The day, how ever was disgraced by the perpetration of numerous crimes and outrages of various degrees, from petty thefts to an extensive riot and bloody murder. In Philadelphia tbe spirit of *76 prevailed. The day passed off in a most appropriate and creditable manner. In Washington the day was appropriately observ ed-nothing occurring to mar the festivities of the occasion. In Baltimore, in addition to the pleasures of tho day, tbe usual amount of rows, fights, casualties, fee., took place, not of course the legitimate result of Independence, but rather the want of it. While many wonld revolt at being under tbe control of a crowned king, they become the degraded bat willing •laves of a tyrant who Is without compassion, whose service leads to all that is evil, without presenting a •Ingle redeeming quality. In tbe language of a Baltl* timore cotemporary tbe spirit of licentiousness Is too often mistaken for tbe apfrit of freedom, and the thoughtless, under this misapprehension,commit acta of folly, and sometimee of violence, which bring dis credit upon the canse of liberty, and condemnation npon themselves. These are tbe exceases, not tb4 legitimate fruits of rational liberty—and, unpleasant as they are,for bettor to be borne than the doll calm of despotism, maintained only by tbe foroe or the bay onet.

Tampa, Fla., June 28th, 1863. Editors if the Savannah Georgian t The subject of Railroads In Florida Is at present occupy ing a good deal of attention In this 8tate, and the great di versity of interests connected with the projects projected, seem to be dividing us, so that no settled concert for ac tion can bt determined that will unite tbe State. In a dis cussion like this, in which the best minds of the State are occupied. 1 cannot expect to add many new or more correct conceptions than are already before the publio ; yet It ap pears my duty, aa well aa every other cititen. of Florida, to speak out Therefore. I shall give you my views unre strained ; and. although they may prove to be Impractica ble. they are none tho less my views honestly given. The bate for a system of Internal Improvement by Rail roads for the State of Florida, was laid down by the last General Aaaembly. The charters of the u Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad,” and the •* Florida Railroad.” meet my views precisely, with the amendment that the u Florida Railroad ” terminate In Tampa Day, and connect with the central line somewhere In the eastern part of Columbia county, using one track for the remainder of the distance, to '• Rose’s Bluff.” on the St. Marys River. This base, I be- Here to be tho only one that aecures to this State the ad vantages of her position and to the stockholders a dividend. It is tbe only one that in connection with the views of Flori da. furnishes all the facilities now required, to give new life and vigor to the dormant energies to the State. I speak this much for tbe project, as an Internal Improvement for the State of Florida : believing that the public funds of the State.set apart for this purpose, will construct at leat one balfthe routes under judicious management; and that there la patriotism enough, and wealth enough among the citixens of the State, even If they are deserted by all fore-gn aid. to construct the other half. Underthls belief It would be absurd for me to counsel the relinquishment of advan tages certain to be realised In a very short future,for a tem porary accommodation to be secured only by tbe sacrifice of our independence, giving the factorage and carriage of our products to a foreign city. It is true we are poor, but if we stralu at this gnat we shall swallow a camel that will be very hard to digest and very disagreeable, notwithstand ing the snake>like sleekness of the Taliahasse resolutions. A stranger would suppose that the State of Florida was to be immensely beneQtted by the Hamilton connection. I can not think that the smallest portion of Hamilton, a small portion of Madison and Jefferson countlos with tbe county ofLeon, Is the wholo of Florida. Such, however. I take It, is the opinion of the convention. And I shall not believe otherwise until I see tho continuance of tho route to I’ensa cola fully guaranteed by an honest subscription of money enough to construct the work. It is out of place fur us of the South to make ourselves busy about the doings of the Middle and West; but East Florida, which includes South Florida, haa a direct interest in having the central and Flo rida Railroads terminato on the St. Johns River, or at Rose's Bluff. Hie interest she feels is neither selfish nor discred itable. but tbe rererao ; because she knows that the busi ness of a State properly belongs to tho citizens of the State, and that this can be secured in no other way. Hie com parative merits of the central road as chartered, and a central road to commence, in reality, at Tallahassee, and connect with a Savannah road in the North-west corner of Hamilton county, baa been ably and fully discuss ed. I endorse the views of Major Ward upon the policy of the central road ; and have no doubt of the sound ness of that policy that advocates tho construction of the road aocordlng to the charter, in preference to any other route whatever. I am unable to discover the advantages of a Savannah connection in Hamilton county, over one at St. 6Iarys, the common terminus of both the Florida roads. Savannah can certainly reach St. Marys at much less expense than she can Humilton county ; and I believe the Central road can be carried to St. Marys without a greater risk for Sa vannah, and quite as advantageous as to Hamilton county. The reason why I think so, is this : I assume that the char- tered road is the popular road in East and West Florida, with many a mute friend In Middle Florida, whose mouth would be opened providod the State would go heart and hand to the accomplishment of the great and glorious en terprise. If the Savannali connection at Hamilton county will gain mure with the Central road continued to St. Ma rys, tliau would accrue by the continuance ortho Savannah road to Chattahoochee, or than would accrue by connect ing at St. Marys, without the Chattahoochee road. then, go ahead! Tbo Central road will be continued as certain as East Florida hns a place on the map, to St. Marys, or to the Johns river. I consider it impossible that it should be otherwise; and with both ends of the road in her grip. I think illegitimate connections on the route will fare bad. considering that access to the deep blue sea U what la sought and wanted. It strikes me forcibly, that Savan nah Is flattering herself that if she can effect a con nection with the Central road, or rather make the Central road terminate at the Georgia line, on the bounds of Ham ilton county, that, in all probability, the Central road will not be continued, in Florida, beyond that point. If so, I think she is mistaken. I cannot see but one way in which site can possibly prevent it, and that is to terminate the Florida Railroad,” just a little over the line in Georgia near the same point. To effect this I consider impossible ; because the holders of the charter of the *• Florida Rail road ” cannot possibly be venlnnt enough to forfeit the last chance of establishing a Motional transit purely Flo ridian. from the Atlantte to tho Gulf, across the Peninsula of Florida. If the Central road does not furnish that tran sit the •' Florida Railroad ” will. In truth and fact, both routes are eminently of the character of Motional transits, purely Floridian; both should be accomplished, and neith er abandoned for the consideration offered, which U very similar to that received by Esau of old, vlx: present grati fication but future slavery. In respect to the <• Florida Rail road,” in particular, it matters little what may be done with the Central road or the Savannah connection, It will hold an independent position by its location, and Is pos sessed of original resources which no inland seaport con nection can furnish, and which it will be exceedingly loth to share without considerations with any but a State road. If the “Florida Railroad” should connect In Hamilton county, R will owe Its business to, and consequently will he dependent for that and Us very existence upon the Sa vannah connection. To make the *• Florida Railroad” what nature designed the location designated to make it, it mast terminate at both ends in free connection with the great sources of trade and travel. I offer a new plan, aa I suppose, to your consideration, by which Florida will accomplish all she proposed by the Central charter, and Savannah more than by the Hamilton connection, and get rid of the imputation of baring turned aside after the fieshpots ot Egypt to tbe neglect of her own 8tate. It is this: Let the Savannah road go by Cbattahoo ebee and unite with the Central road at the crossing of the Cboctawhatchle river; thence a consolidated line to Pensa cola. I hold that Florida has money, or credit, or influence, in conjunction with tbe advantages of location, to build her road to the Choctawhatchte. it she can do so to the proposed connection at the Hamilton line. Certainly Flor ida and Georgia can make the rood thence to Pensacola.—. What would Savannah risk more than to guarantee a road from the Hamilton connection ? Would abe not rather gain Infinitely by her Immediate connection with the pro- ducta and interests of all the lower counties of Georgia, and the trade of the Chattahoochee? WUl the fate of Ap- alachlcola be any the less decided, by a Georgia road at Chattahoochee, or a Florida road lower down that river, or by both? I think not. If either crosses that river Apa lachicola U destroyed, or injured aa much in the one com oa the other. But I do not believe Apaloohloole will be so easily demolished. Whan ootton la loaded upon a steamer, and sent down to Chattahoochee, the owners will be alow to subject It to the expense of s transit over a Georgia road to Savannah, or a Florida road to8t. Marys or Jacksonville, whan they can. then, convey It without additional coat, to Apalachicola, just aa good a market aa altber. No man, true to the interests of Florida, can advocate tbe construc tion of one of these transits serosa the State, without ad-” vocatlng the other. I do not undatvalue the assistance or Savannah and Charleston, in the construction of the Flor ida roads, but I believe their true interests In them will be better served by leaving the track on the chartered loca tion. I believe, In respect to the Florida Railroad, that aa In dependent location Is tha one that will benefit East Florida and ths cities Interested la her products, more thaa any connection whotevtr with any other rood. Good Judges In railroad matters have decided that there esnnot be found a more desirable location, or one where tbe material for construction Is more abundant or cheap, or one that will require leu grading, or have fower streams to erou | and, for a nsw country, one that can be laid down with abetter prospect for suecessfol business.

Curtis, in hla lost pa E x, under tbe title of Recollections end Private oraolra of the life end character of Washington, gives the following account of the introduction of mules into this country, which will be found very Interesting: . , Upon Washington's first retirement in 1783, he be came convinced or the defective nature of the work ing animals employed in the agriculture of tbe South ern Btatea, and set about remedying the evil bv the Introduction of mules Instead of horses, the mule be ing fouud to live longer, be less liable to disease, re quire less food, and in every respect to be more ser viceable and economical than tbe horse in the agri cultural, labor ortho Southern 8tates. Up to the year 1773, scarcely any mules were to| be found in tbe American Confederation; a few had been Im ported from the West Iudles, but they were of di minutive size and of little value. So soon as the riuW8 on this subject of the illustrious farmer of Mount Vernon were thrown abroad, he received a present from tho king or Spain or a Jack and two jennies, selected from the royal stud at Madrid. Tbe jack, called the Royal Gift, was sixteen hands, of a gray color, heavily made, of a sluggish deposition. At the same time, the Marquis de LARetto sent out t Jack and jennies from the Islanu-^pl Malta *, this jack called the Knight of Malta, was a superb animal, black color, with the form of a stag and tbe ferocity of a tiger. Washington availed himself of thc| best qualities or tbe two jacks by crossing tbe breeds, and her.ee obtained a favorite jack, called Compound, which animal united the size and strength or the Gift with tho courage and Activity or the Knight. The Jack arrived at Mount Vernon, if we mistake not, early in 1788. The General bred Home very superior mules from bis coach mares, sending them from Philadelphia for the purpose. In a fow years the estate or Mount Vernon became stocked with mules of a superior order, rising to the height or sixteen hands, and or great power and usefulness, one wagon team of four mules selling nt the sole of the General's effects for eight hundred dollars. In no proportion of Washington's vnrioua labor* and improvements in agriculture, was be so particu larly entitled to be bailed as a pnbllo benefactor, a» In the introduction of mules in farming labor, those animals being nt this time almost exclusively used for farming purposes in tho Southern States. — .

The wefither still continues oppressive, though the monotony of drought, hitherto characterizing our 8easou, was somewhat diversified on Tuesday and Wednesday last by moderate, though refreshing showers. These have extended to some of our suf fering districts above, and all along the seaboard, ns we ore happy to learn, and have also bad the bene ficial influence of re-supplying our almost exhausted cisterns, and bringing down tho range of the ther mometer from DO 0 and 9l°—which it had reached on Tuesday an J Wednesday last—to something indica tive of a more moderate and agreeable temperature. After all, wo hope that the perishing crops may be in some degree resuscitated. We are Informed by a gentleman recently from that section of country, that the crops of. the North-west and West, promise abun dantly. If the planter* of those sections nearer home, whoso Interests have been so seriously affected by the drought, will supply the deficiency by planting peas, tho effect of these disasters may be much modified, if not entirely remedied.—Chas. Standard, 8th. Rain—Within the last week fine and copious show ers have fallen in this neighborhood, and ruin has been general'y had, we believe, in this section of the State. It has been less abundant immediately at Marietta than in almost any other part of the coun ty. The crops in this county, though injured by tbe drought, will not be near so short as was anticipated. —Marriet ta Advocate, 7th. The Weather.—We have had indication* of abun dant showers, in this immediate vicinity, for the last four or five days, but have had to rest contented with only a few moderate sprinklings oi rain. In nearly every direction, alx or eight mile* from the city, there have been a number of refreshing rains. While the rains around us have been in plain sight we have hardly bad enough in the immediate -neighbor'' ’ * “ ‘ the dust.—- the city to lay the dust.- irhood of Atlanta Intelligencer, 7th. Copious Rains.—We have been blessed in this section with fine rains, for the last two or three day*. The sky is now (Wednesday) very cloudy, and we have a promise of more. If the seasons are good, we will yet make good crops, os the corn was not be yond redemption, as it is in some portions of the State. The account* from the lower counties are gloomy in the extreme, and many planter* will not make enough for seed.—Athens Banner, 7th. Frost.—Don’t be startled reader- you who have "largo drops of sweat running down your parched checks”—’tis true, for tho AUeganiun assures us that betwecu the hot days of last week, they had a cooling spell—the thermometer got down to 60°, and at Somerset county, Pa., adjoining, they were visited " with a sharp frost on Sunday morning, which on its departure, left rather a withering mark upon the veg etable kingdom. Potatoes, and many of the more tender garden plants, had their tops changed from their native green to a more darksome hue.” Now, Mister AUeganian, would it not have been more believable If you had locuted that cool articlo at Fretsburg and not at Summer-set^-Baltimore Clip per, Oth inst. Tiie Falconet and Slo« Case.—Tho New Orleans Bulletin, of the 28th tilt., says that suit was institu ted on the previous day, in the Second District Court, by Francisco do P. Falconet, of the City of Mexico, against A. G. SIoo for $000,000, alleged to have been advanced for and on account of Sloo to the Mexican Government under the articles of agreement between Sloo and said government, for the right of way for a communication across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The petition alleges that bills of exchange for the $000,000 on Sloo, to the order of petitioner at 00 and 90 days, were given to him as one ot the considera tion* for tho money advanced by him, but that said bill* of exchange have not been honored. Judgment against defendant is asked for the full amount ad vanced with costs. Mr. Commissioner Morton decided, on Saturday, that the Fugitive Slave Law, and that clause of the Constitution requiring tho return of " persons held to Bervice or labor,” who may eacapo from the State in which they are held, was intended to apply exclu sively to slaves, and that fugitive apprentices can not, therefore, be reclaimed under its provisions.— The case was that of John Van Orden, claimed aa an apprentice, and arrested as a fugitive from service or labor, by John Randall, of New Jersey. The Com missioner does not enter into any argument to sus tain his position, but contents himself with alleging the novelty of the claim and the authority of the late Judge Story. The point is one of a good deal of in terest and importance. In Connecticut, we believe, it has been decided tbe other way N. Y. Times. A Pbodioy in Fort Smith—-There is a/oungman in this place, about 21 or 22 years of age, who is an idiot, except in the computation of numbers, and in this respect he in a prodigy.

He can give correct answers to the most difficult ques tions propounded—instantaneous—by his bead, for he has no education whatever. He will not leave bis mother at any time, and is a perfect child in this re spect. How no can render so readily as he does ac curate answers to all questions put to him, is a mys tery to us.

Antonio was present at tbe fierce battle when the gallant Tecatnseh fell, and acted during that bloody conflict as Tecumseh’s aid. Accident in Lowell.—Saturday last, as one of tbe female weavers in the Elliot Mill, Lowell, was combing her hair in the weaving room, it accidental ly caught around tbe shaft, drawing her up by her hair between tbe abaft and the ceiling, and jamming her head againit the celling: The scalp was torn nearly off. Her thumbs, which were twined in her hair, were also torn off, from tbe great force with which she was drawn up. The foroe with which her head struck the celling was so great as to throw off the belt, thereby preventing her head from being ground to powder. She was released from her dread ful situation and the scalp was replaced. After some hours of unconsciousness she recovered her senses, and blda fair to|recover.

For be It ever remembered that no matter how arduously the editor may lubor—how prodigally en dowed with genius, taste and dlftcrimhiation, or how splendidly enriched with the fruits of intense and un relaxing study- his productions are in the nature of things, emphatically perishable. Costly wares though they be, purchased at the price of health, privation, and painful research, they have no vitality beyond their allotted hour. If the nctor " struts and frets along the stage and then is beard no more," the edi tor’s fame is even more transient Rarely indeed does It survive the setting sun of the day that wit nesses the circulation of his happiest efforts. Immor tality is wholly and utterly beyond his aspirations. Pay aa You Go. Tbe New York Times has the following advice, which, if followed up, would prevent many an aching heart and sorrowful bosom. It reminds us of some of Franklin’s excellent essays: “ What, not avail myself of this capital opportunity for a bargain, just because tbe mouey Is not in my E ocket ? There are a great many snug fortunes made y buying on time. But our mercantile friends who draw most largely on their credit will agree with us in advising a young man to • pay os he goes.' A six penny loaf or bread without butter, and no debt on it, has a better relish than your best dinner that is to be paid for tomorrow. Tbe potatoes that are paid for before euting them have no bitter taste, while a coppery flavor mingles with tho vanilla ol the creams that are bought ou credit. Cash lard* handsomely the leanest beef. Credit makes the fattest slices shrink in the pan. If you pay as you go, very likely S ou will fall astern of your bold speculating neigh- or, but you will have your vessel in belter trim lor a squall. Men do not always get rich very rapidly who admit the motto, but they very seldom can innke out to fall. It may be hard for them to get rich, but it is harder for other people to suffer very bitterly on account of their poverty. The man who pays as he goes, and has nothing but tho suit he lias on, and the mt-al he is eating, that he can call his own—how much poorer is he than his neighbor who keeps a carriage and a servant, and lives lu splendor, and owes more than he can ever pay? Tho latter, one will say, enjoys all the money tlmt his spleudor represents. This is very much a matter of t&ste. We should not enjoy it. Widow* and orphans will weep when ho die*, not because he has gone, but because his estate only pay* twenty cents on the dollar. " Pay as you go," and leave no unpleasant business for your executor to transact. It is not gratifying for the widow to have your debt* to settle, and children come by degrees to think less or their deceased rather, when bills are presented that cannot be met by his assets. " Pay as you go,” sleep sound o'nlglit.aiid drive out tbe nightmare from your dormitory. Your account book will be a model of simplicity. You will buy what you want and leave what is unneeded till money is plentler. You will find tho necessities of life to be only the declination of what an generally called rich. Oil their lace*, tearing the lean and haggard mask, you will fiud jolly, lazy luxuries behind. An Unreasonable Sheriff. 8ome years ago a sheriff in the northern part of Vermont held a writ of execution against ono oi his neighbors, which, as usual in cases of this sort with the debtor in question, he had a great deal of diffi culty in collecting, and indeed, was compelled at lost to resort to the more atriogent provisions ot the law. The debtor though a man of limited means was a per son of unlimited hopes and expectations, and gare his parol of honor to the officer that he would cer tain ly pay the debt bv a certain day. The day came, and so did the sheriff, but no money. Again and again a day was fixed Tor payment nf the execution, but no advance was mndo towards " liquidation.”— At last, as the execution had well nigh " run out," the sheriff told the debtor that the debt rauRt be paid at once, or lie should proceed immediately to adver tise bis jmrsonal chattels. Tbo debt was not large, but the sum was not an easy one to raise on the spot, and the debtor begged for a delay of one day more. The sheriff was inexorable. " I give you iny word of honor,” eald the debtor. " It won’t do,” said the sheriff. " I’ll pledge yon thl* Bible,” said tlio debtor, offering a large family Bible worth about tho amount of tho execution. " I don't wnnt it,” said the officer. Well, then," replied the debtor, indignantly, •* if you won’t take my word, nor the word of God, for tbe debt, you may go to the devil." Interesting Chapter on Snakes. A paper was lately read before the Boston 8oclety of Natural History, from Dr. W. J. Burnett, on the character and habits of tbe rattlesnake. The Doctor had been experimenting on two or three specimens of this animal, and announces tho discovery of nu merous embryo poisonous fungs in the jaws of the snake, immediately behind the outward fangs. The use of these hidden weapons of destruction appears to be toslipply tbe place of the biting fangs of the serpent which they get broken off or worn out in ser vice. It also appears that the lung fangs, (two in number,) which are used in in inflicting the deadly bite ol the rattlesnake, are naturally shed every few years, when they aro not injured by accident or wear, and the reserve fangs are sufficiently numerous to meet the worst emergencies. From minuto micro- scopical examination of the structure of these teeth, Dr. B. concludes that there aro two canals in each fang, only one of which conveys tho poison to tho wound. Respecting the character of the poison it self. the Doctor remarks a* follows : There is good reason to believe that its action is tbe same upon all living things, vegetable os well as animals. It is even just as fatal to the snake itself as to other animals, for Dr. Hearing informed me that one of his specimens, alter being irritated and annoy ed in its cage. In moviug suddenly, accidentally struck one of its fungs into its own body ; it soon rolled over and died, as any other animal would have done.— Here, then, we have the remarkable, and perhaps unique, physiological fact of a liquid secretcu direct ly from the blood, which proves deadly when intro duced Into the very source (tho blood) from which it was derived. In order to scrutinize, by the aid of a microscope, the operation of this deadly agent on the blood, Dr. Burnett stultified one of tbe fiercest of bis snakes by dropping chloroform upon his head. Twenty-five or thirty drops being allowed to fall on his head, one slowly after the other, the sound of his rattle gradually died away, and In a few minutes he was wholly under the agent. He waa then adroit ly seized behind the jaws with the thumb and finger, and dragged from tho cage, and allowed to partially resuscitate; in this state a second person held bis tail to prevent his coiling around the arm of the first, while a third opened bis mouth, and with a pair of forceps pressed the fang upward, causing a flow of poison which was received on the end of the scalpel. The snake was then returned into the cage. Blood was then extracted from a finger for close microscopical examination. The smallest quantity of the poison being presented to the blood between the glasses, a change was immediately perceived; the corpuscles ceased to run and pile together, and re mained stagnant, without any special alteration of structure. The whole appearance was as though the vitality of the blood bad been suddenly destroyed, exactly as in death from lightning. This agrees also with another experiment performed on a fowl, where the whole mass of the blood appeared quite liquid, and having little coagulable power. Dr. Burnett is of opinion that the physiological ac tion of the poison of a rattlesnake In animals is. that of a most powerful sedative, acting through the blood on the nervous centres. He supports this position by the remarkable fact, that its full and complete anti dotes are tbe most active Htiroulants, and or the alco hol (commonly in the form of rum or whisky) is the first. This remedy ia well known at the South, and there are some twenty-five authentic cates on record, proving that a person suffering from the bite of a rat tlesnake may drink from one to two anarts of clear brandy and eventually recover.—Hartford Times. „ A Relic.—A spoon about tbe size of a rather small table spoon, was lately dug up with some articles near the head of a core at New London from a depth of fifteen feet; the original beach having been cover ed to that depth by successive washings from the snr rounding hills. A New London paper says It is tbe opinion that they were left there by the crew of a snip of some of the " Northmen" who visited and described the shores of Long Island Bound some eight hundred or a thousand years ago. Tbe spoon has been sent to the Connecticut Antiquarian Society, and they have pronounced it of Danish manufacture, a composition of bell and metal. A heart and an arrow head that are on it are very perfect; there are also three other smaller figures that are scarcely distin guishable.
