On the 28d of September, 1770, being be low, I was roused by an unusual noise on dock. This induced me to go upon (leek, when I found the men were swaying up the royal yards preparatory to making sail for a large fleet under ,our loo. I asked the coasting pilot what licet it was. He an swered : “The Baltic fleet, under convoy of the Serapis, of 4 1 guns, find the Countess of Scarborough, of 20 guns.” A general clr'se then commenced of the Bon Homme Richard, the Vengeance, the l’allas, and the alliance Utter ship being then in sight after a sep aration from the squadron of nearly three must head of the Serapis, was struck by Captain Pearson's own hand, as none of his people would venture aloft on this duty— and this, too, when more than 1-300 persons wore witnessing the conflict, and the humil iating termination of it, from bear-borough | And in addition to the loss of his liquor, it punishes the offender with -fine and impris onment, to secure universal Obedience.

Of this $670,148 was set down to Intemperance. Similar to this is the criminal assessment. But Intem perance flows from the traffic. The supply creates the demand. Shut up the traffic, in the waist, who were not informed of the j an ,j intemperance and its results would soon surrender of their ship. 1 found Captain Pearson standing on the leeward side of the quarter-deck, and ad- weaks, but which ship, as usual, disregar-: dressing myself to him, said, « Sir, I have (led the private signals of the Commodore.— j orders to send you on board the ship along- At this time our fleet headed to the north- ! side.” The first lieutenant of the Serapi ward, with a light breeze, Flamborougli Head being about two 1 eauges distant.

At about 8, being within hail, the Serapis nnpauy Captain Pearson on board the ship alongside. He said, “If you will permit me to go below, I will silence the firing of the lower-deck guns.” This request was demanded, “ What ship is that ?” lie was j refused, and with Captain Pearson he was cease. The taxes now paid for the creation of poor-liouscs and jails, and the support of paupers, and the trials and punishment of criminals would be but trifling. 2. It would save a vast amount of physi cal suffering. Who hath Woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions ? Who hath wounds without cause ? What class of all all others have privation and want, hunger, cold and nakedness, oppression and cruelty, physical and mental agony like drunkards and drunkard's families ? Give us the Maine Law, and the haggard harpey, fixing his talons deep, is fled away. 3. It would prevent a mighty flood of mi ral evil. The liquor business is the prolj mother of crime.

Recently, in the Senate, Mr. Cass present ed the 'memorial of the Baptist Union of Ma ryland, praying that measures be taken to secure to Americans abroad liberty of con science. The presentation he accompanied with these remarks, which, being expressed in a manner so happy, embraces facts of the vastest importance to every philanthropist, Christian and freeman: ••■I have been requested to present thepeti- tion which I send to the clerk’s table from the Maryland Baptist Union Association, and to move its reference to the appropriate committee.

This body of pious and intelli gent Christians anxiously desire the freedom of religious worship for their countruymen wherever the accidents of life may carry them. “ And it is not straftgfc that this sentiment should be strongly expressed in this land of gospel liberty. But it is strange that in this age of the world, and this day of intel lectual advancement, any obstacle should be interposed by any government in Chris tendom to prevent the believers in the faith of Jesus from following the dictates of their own coMdeaoe, and while rendering onto CxsaF the things that are Ctesar's, prohibit themfrom. rendering unto God the things that are Go*’tifagcerably to their own con victions of the injunctions of His divine word. I concede fully with the signers of this petition, that the best of all freedom is i Peep into the Affairs of the United States, just about now. Among these affairs, we notice, first, the Mormon subjects. The general reader fully understands the origin of this sect; and it would be altogether unnecessary to speak of presently again allude to, is “an experiment no longer—for it has become experience.” Yet, we cannot believe that that part of their religion, which some will claim to be relig ion, and which is, in a very important sense, allowing a plurality of wives, is at all con sistent With our institutions—such a policy, j the freedom of conscience, and that there is in our humble opinion, must tend more to no tyranny so revolting as that which ty- subversion of order—civil and religious, than i rasnizes over the raind.” j 2.

For ip days past the people of thc moil- ! ern city were almost persuaded to believe » lie : but their understanding hath been en- lighted, and their eyes opened, and they will not now believe, though one were sent from Gov. Cobb. 5. For out of the fullness of the hearts of the people of the modern city doth thc chron icler speak. t G. Say ye, therefore, that thq mpdern city shalt rise, and that the inhabitants’ thereof shall extend their dominions, nn^ pitch their tents where snakes did’him, and where beasts of prey did howl. 7. That in spite of the evil sought to be done to the great city by thc chief men and rulers, proclaim tkou that the citizens of Adairsville are citizens of no mean cityt their store- houses overflow with merchan dise, and of merchants they have a goodly number. 8. And I saw in my vision, and in the midst of thc city, and hard by the way, nn house, like unto thc garners of Egypt, to re ceive the increase of their fields, and a voice spake unto me, saying; say ye unto the in^” habitants of the land, and proclaim thou from the house tops, that this house, like the ‘temple of old, liatli become the seat of mon ey changers, if not a den of thieves. 9. For lo! instead of being filled with the fat of the land, wayfaring men resort thith er to find shelter and repose. 10. To the people of the modern city say ye, therefore as ye e'nlargc your city and cause its domes and towers to greet thc sun in his coming, purge out from among you this abomination, and cause ye the public garner to be filled with corn, and let tl»e keepers of inns,like thc morrow,provide for ■themselves. 44. And scarcely had these things been revealed unto me, when I looked and lo! in the public garner 1 saw chariots without horses, and couches whereon none were re posing, and in thc door thereof stood a man like-unto Goliath of Gath, with a rod of iron like to a weaver's beam in his right hafiil. 12. And there were voices and thundcr- ings and lightnings and an earthquake : and I went backward and fell to thc ground. 13. For I said in mine heart, happy is tlic man who fcareth always, but he that hard- encth his heart shall fall into niischiet. 14. While prostrate With my TaCS toWards Heaven mjfceaafcjt bo vo me, even^among the portance of the subject to make known, in this solemn manner, that they should view all efforts on the part of any other power to procure possession, whether peaceably or forcibly, of that bland, which, ns a naval or military position, must, under circum stances easy to be foreseen, become danger ous to their southern coast, to the Gulf of Mexico, and to the mouth of the Mississippi, as tflifriendly acts, directed against them, to be resisted by all the means in their pow er. the cabinet. The formation of this body still keeps our people, from appearances, in a painful state of anxiety, and gives opportunities for the speculations of various editors and corres pondents. The latest that we have on this point is contained in thc Baltimore Patriot, which paper gathers its information from the following letter received by it: Washington, Jan. 3, 1853. The last rumor in regard to the ’Cabinet —and it comes from atOutcfe'te challenge belief—is that Mr. Sdnator Hunter, who con have certainly any place in thc Cabinet he will select, is about to go, or has gone, to Georgia, there to see Gov. Cobb, with au thority to offer him the office of’thcSesreta- ry of the Treasury, provided, so the source from which the report comes says, he be found orthodox on points deemed by Gen. Tierce and Senator Hunter, as material to the administration of the Government. If Gov. Cobb then takes the office of Secretary of the Treasury, Scuator Hunter will take the head of thc State Department, and the rest of the Cabinet will be selected from a- uiong the others who have been named, hi various places, for it. THE NICARAGUA QUESTION. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, in remarking upon this subject, and the dis missal of the Nicaragua Minister, Mr. Mar- coleta, says the Taylor administration gave the Nicaraguans every pledge of support, in any controversy, she might have with Eng land, about her claims to territory, claimed as belonging to the Musquito Indians. This pledge was given by Mr. Clayton. A sub sequent treaty by this gentleman, with Mr. Bulwer, the British Minister, settled this matter, nobody knows how. A treaty by- Mr. Squier, with Nicur9gaa~sa&xcpndiattsl because it conflicted with thc indefinite terms of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and has established a colonial government in Cen tral America. The settlement of this mat- tor ’trill of coarse be left for Mr. Pierce, and we presume it will be settled to thc credit aud satisfaction of both parties. The Gold Ring to Geu’l Pierce. Below we give the correspondence between Gen. Pierce and John Middleton, on thc pre sentation and acceptance of the Gold Ring, manufactured in the city of San Francisco. Gen. Pierce acknowledges as a compliment, tht confidence manifested in the letter of presentation, as to his being a Jackson Dem ocrat, a friend to the compromise, and for the salvation of our glorious Union. Thus, under his own band, Gen. Pierce says he is a Democrat the Jack-son school, which, in our opinion, insures for him a permanent popularity, and a brilliant and successful administration. To follow in the footsteps of old Hickory, ^the kterb, pil'fe abd 'Unwa vering patriot) is the sure and certain path to thc confidence of the American people.
