They serve to show the style of the writer, and as agreeable effu sions from the mind of enlarged observa tions, dashed with a little good humor, will be read with interest. What fol lows is one of his serious sketches. It relates to the Vardarelli, a band of out laws which for some time infested Cala- Iria and the Capitaimto. Gaetano Vardarelli was a native of Ca mbria, and one of the earliest members of Khe revolutionary society of the Carbona ri When Murat, after some time favor ing that society, began to persecute it, Vardarelli fled to Sicily, and took service under King Ferdinand. He was then 26 years of age. possessing the muscles nnd coufage of a lion, the agility of a chamois, the eye of an eagle. Such a recruit Was not to be despised, and he was made sergeant in the Sicilian guards. 0a Ferdinand’s restoration iri 1815, he fallowed him to Naples ; but finding that he was not likely evet to rise above a ve ry subordinate grade he befcame disgust ed with the service, deserted and took refuge in the mountains of Calabria.— There two of his brothers, and some thirty brigands and outlaws, assembled [around him and elected him their chief, [with right of life and death over them.— [He had been a slave in the town ; he Bound himself a king in the mountains. [ Proceeding according to the old fOr- Cfiula observed by banditti chiefs, both in ■Calabria and in Melodramas, Vardarelli proclaimed himself redresser general of [wrongs and grievances, and acted up to pis profession by robbing the rich and Insisting the poor. The consequence P'as, that he soon became exceedingly Popular among the latter class; and at pst his exploits reached the ears of King Ferdinand himself, who was highly in- Ignant at such goings on, and gave cr iers that the bandit should immediately p hung. But there are three things ne cessary to hang a man—a rope, a gal lows, and the man himself. In this in lance, the first two were easily found, lit the third was unfortunately wanting, gendarmes and soldiers were sent after lardarelli, but the latter was too cun- Ing for them all, and slipped through ■eir fingers at every turn. His success I eluding pursuit increased his reputa lon, and recruits flocked to his standard, ■is band soon doubled its numbers, and ■5 leader became a formidable and im portant person, which of course was an ■ditional reason for the authorities to Wish to capture him. A price was set p his head ; large bodies of troops sent P search of him ; but all in vain. ■ One day the Prince of Leperano, Col. plcedonio, Major Delponte, with a do- Rti other officers, and a score of attend Fp, were hunting in a forest a few ■kgues from Bari, when the cry of “ Vnr- Prelli!” was suddenly heard. The par ■ took to flight with the utmost preeipi ■ion, and all escaped except Major Del •nte, who was one of the bravest, but at V same time, one of the poorest of the B’ole army. When he was told that he pust pay a tlxHrsand ducats for his ran r° . he only laughed, and asked where v was to get such a sum. Vardarelli ■en threatened to shoot him, if it was Pi forthcoming by a certain day. The pjor replied that it was losing time to ■ a| t; and that, if he had a piece of ad ■-c to give his captor, it was to shoot M once The bandit at first felt half DEMOCRATIC BANKER ~ FREE TRADE; LOW DUTIES; NO DEBT; SEPARATION FROM BANKS; ECONOMY ; RETRENCHMENT; AND A STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE OONSTITITTTON.—wT. c. inclined to do so j but he reflected that the less Delponte cared about his life, the more ought Ferdinand to value it.— He was right in his calculation ; for no sooner did the King learn that his brave mnjor was in the hands of the banditti, than he ordered the ransom to be paid out of his privy purse, and the major re covered his freedom. But Ferdinand had sworn the extermi nation of the banditti, with whom he was thus obliged to treat as from one po tentate to another. A certain colonel, whose name I forget, and who heard this vow, pledged himself, if a battalion were put under his command, to bring in Var darelli, his two brothers, and the sixty men composing his troop, bound hand and foot, and to place them in the dun geons of the Vicaria. The offer was too good to be refused; the minister of war put five hundred men at the disposal of the colonel, who staried with them at once in pursuit of the outlaw. The lat ter was soon informed by his spies of this fresh expedition, and he also made a vow, to the effect that he would cure his pursuer, once and for all, of any dis position to interfere with the Vardarelli. He began by leading the poor colonel such a dance over hill and dale, that the unfortunate officer and his men were worn out with fatigue;—then when he saw them in the slate that he wished, he caused some false intelligence to be car ried to them at two o’clock one morning. The colonel fell into the snare, and start' and immediately to surprise Vardarel li, whom he was assured was in a little village at the further extremity of a nar row pass through which only four men could pass abreast. He made such haste that he marched four leagues in two hours, and at day break found himself at the entrance of the pass, which, how ever, seemed so peculiarly well adapted for an ambuscade, that he halted his bat talion, and sent on twenty men to re connoitre. In a quarter of an hour the twenty men returned. They had not met a single living thing. The colonel hesitated no longer, and entered the de file; but, on reaching a spot about half way through it, where the road widen ed out into a sort of platform, surround ed by high rocks and steep precipices, a shout was suddenly heard, proceeding apparently from the clouds, and the poor colonel looking up, saw the summits of the rocks covered with brigands, who levelled their riflas at him and his sol diers. Nevertheless, he began forming up his men as well as the nature of the ground would permit, when Vardarelli himself appeared upon a projecting crag. “Down with your arms, or you are dead men !” he shouted in a voice of thunder. The bandits repeated his summons, and the echos repeated their vocies, so that i the troops, who had not made the same ! vow as their colonel, and who thought i themselves surrounded by greatly supe- 1 rior numbers, cried out for quarter, in ' spite of the entreties and menaces of their unfortunate commander. Then Varda relli, without leaving 1 ] his position, or dered them to pile their arms, and to march to two different places which he pointed out to them. They obeyed, and Vardarelli, leaving twenty of his men in their ambush, came down with the re mainder, who immediately proceeded to render the Neapolitan muskets useless [for the moment at least] by the same process which Gulliver employed to ex tinguish the conflagration of the palace at Lilliput. The news of the affair put the King in very bad humor for the first twenty four hours; after which time, however, the love of a joke overcoming his anger, he laughed heartily, and told the story to eveiy one he saw; and as there are always lots of listeners when a king nar rates, three years elapsed before the co lonel ventured to show nis face at Na ples and encounter the ridicule of the court. The general commanding in Calabria takes the matter rather more seriously, and vows the destruction of the baditti. By offers of large pay and privileges, they are induced to enter the Neapolitan service, and prove highly efficient as a troop of gen darms. But the general cannot forget his old grudge against them ; although, for lack of opportuni ty, and on account of the desperate cha racter of his men, he is obliged to defer his revenge for some time. At last he succeeds in having their leaders assassi nated, and by pretending great indigna tion, and imprisoning the perpetrators of the deed, he lulls the suspicions of the remaining bandits, who elect new offi cers, and, on an appointed day, proceed to the town of Foggia to have their elec tion confirmed. Only eight of them, ap prehensive of treachery, refuse to ac company their comrades. The remain ing thirty-one, and a woman who would not leave her husband, obey the gener al’s summons. It was a Sunday, the review had been publicly announced, and the square was thronged with spectators. The Varda relli entered the town in perfect order, and armed to tho very teeth, but giving no sign of hostility pr mistrust. On reaching the square they raised their sa bres, and with one voice exclaimed, “Viva ii Re'” The general appeared on his balcony to acknowledge their sa MACON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1844. lute. The aid-de-camp on duty came down to receive them, and after compli menting them on the beauty of their hor ses and good state of their arms, desired them to file past under the general’s win* dow, which they did with a precision worthy of regular troops. They then formed up again in the middle of the square and dismounted. The aid-de-camp went into the house again with the list of the three new offi cers; the Vardarelli were standing by their horses; when suddenly there was a great confusion and movement in the crowd, which opened in various places, and down every street leading to the square, a column of Neapolitan troops was seen advancing. The Vardarelli were surrounded on all sides. Perceiving at once that they were betrayed, they sprang upon their horses and drew their sabres; but at the same moment the general took off his hat, which was the signal agreed upon; the command, “Faccia in terra,” was heard, and the spectators throwing themselves on their faces, the soldiers fired over them, and nine of the brigands fell to the ground, dead or mortally wounded.— Those who were unhurt, seeing that they had no quarter to expect, dismoun ed, and forming a compact body, fought their way to an old castle, in which they took refuge. Two only, trusting to the speed of their horses, charged the group of soldiers that appeared the least nume rous, shot down two of them, and suc ceeded in breaking through the others and escaping. The woman owed her life to a similar piece of daring, effected, however, on another point of the ene my’s line. She broke through, and galloped off, after having discharged both of hea pistols with fatal effect. The attention of all was now turned to the remaing twenty Vardarelli, who had taken refuge in the ruined castle.— The soldiers advanced against them, en couraging one another, and expecting to encounter an obstinate resistance; but to their surprise, they reached the gate of the castle without a shot being fired at them. The gate was soon beaten in, and tha soldiers spread themselves thro’ the halls and galleries of the old build ing. But all was silence and solitude; the bandits had disappeared. After an hour passed in rummaging every corner of the placa, the assailants were going away in despair, convinced that their prey had escaped them; when a soldier, who was stooping down to look through the air-hole of a cclar, feel, shot through the body. The Vardarelli were discovered ; but still it was no easy matter to get at them. Instead of losing men by a direct at tack, the soldiers blocked up the air-hole with stones, set guard over it, and then going round to the door of the cellar, which was barricadoed on the inner side, they heaped lighted fagots and combusti bles against it, so that the staircase was soon one immense furnace. After a time the door gave way, and the fire poured a torrent into the retreat of the unfortunate bandits. Still a profound si lence reigned in the vault. Presently two carbine shots were fired ; two bro thers, determined not to fall alive into the hands of their enemies, had shot each other in death. A moment after wards .an explosion was heard ; a bandit had thrown himself into the flames, and his cartridge-box had blown up. At last the remainder of the unfortunate men being nearly suffocated, and seeing that escape was* impossible, surrendered at discretion, were dragged through the air-hole, and immediately bound hand and foot, and conveyed to prison. As to the eight who had refused to come to Foggia) and the two who had escaped, the were hunted down like wild beasts, tracked from cavern to cav ern, and from forest to forest. Some were shot, others betrayed by the pea santry, some gave themselves up, so that, before the year wasott! all the Var darelli were dead or prisoners. The wo man who had displayed much masculine courage, was the only one who finally escaped. She never was heard of after wards. An Extract. Christianity, like a child, goes Wand ering over the word. Fearless in its in nocence, it is not abashed before princes, nor confounded by the wisdom of synods. Before it, the blood stained warrior sheaths his sword and plucks the laurel from his brow; the midnight murderer turns from his purpose, and like the heartsmitten disciple, goesout and weeps bitterly. It brings liberty to the capitive, joy to the mourner, freedom to the slave, repen tance and forgivess to the sinnner, hope to the fainthearted, and assurance to the dying. It enters the hut of the poor man ana sits down with them and their children; it makes them contented in the midst oi privations, and leaves behind an ever lasting blessing. . It walk* through great cities amid aL their potnp and splendor, their imagina i ble pride and their unutterable misery, a purifying, ennobling, correcting, and re deeming angel. It is alike the beautiful companion of childhood, the comfortable associate of age It ennobles the noble, gives wisdom to the wise, and new grace to the lovely.— The patriot, the priest, the poet, arid the eloquent men, all derive their sublime power from its influence. Mary HowiU. Pram the Philadelphia Saturday CtrurUr. The Arcana of Nature. To him who is accustomed to trace in the order, the beauty and variety of Na ture’s work the evidence of a designing mind, and to investigate with philosoph ic minuteness, the phenomena daily oc curing wilhin the narrow circle of his observation, the Arcana of Nature pre sent an inviting field for laborious re search, abtruse speculation, and bold ex periment. The veil of mystery, which hangs over this untrodden region, serves to awaken curiosity and fan into aflame, the zeal of those indomitable spirits who are striving each in his appropriate sphere to extend the domain of Science and “bring to light the hidden things of dark ness.” With cautious tread the chemist seeks to enter that vast laboratory w’here Nature’s agents are actively employed in decomposing and reorganizing the vari ed forms of matter, animate and inanimate —giving to each imperishable atom its shape arid coloring, and breathing into the inert mass that vitality which will prepare it for the several stages of pro gress and decay. He gazes in mute sur prise upon the exhibitions of that inimita ble Power, which confers with such ra pidity and ease upon all its fair creations, their distinctive properties and varied combinations. Nature’s hand hath given to the diamond its brilliancy, moulded the crystal in its unrivalled form, and unaid ed by the alembick, of the alcbymest, she is daily transmuting into purest gold, the base alloy of her impenetrable mines.— Deep in the secluded gloomy cavern she hides the dashing torrents, the pendant spar, and the unhewn pillar; yet will the geologist thither bend his footseps in quest of some faint memorial rescued from the oblivion of an antediluvian a.e. No fruitless search is his, for there embeded in the primeval rock, are concealed the images of those living forms that have long since passed away and been forgot ten. Nature hath consigned to the coral caves of Ocean’s bed a countless store of her choicest treasures. There in rich profusion, nre scattered the pearls of price untold—the shells of rainbow hue and matchless form, and the sea-girt halls, where the fabled mermaid spread her couch. From those unfathomed depths comes up the confused hoarse murmur that is caught by the listening ear, and interpreted in the language so eloquent and impressive of universal Nature.— There too the raging whirpoo!, not inapt ly styied the hell of waters ! “Where they howl and hiss, And boll in encibas lortures,” yawns ready to engulph the presumptu ous wretch who dares venture within its circling eddies. Well may the terror stricken mariner tremble in view of that maddened Maelstrom in whose dark abyss his fraii bark would find its last—long resting place. Safely guided o’er the “bounding billows” by his compass and chart, he vainly asks why turns the needle to the Pole ? nor will nature re veal to him the causes of that perpetual ebb and flow, which speed wave after wave in quick succession, over the wide waste of waters. From Ocean’s broad expanse rise the mists and exhalations that are to gather about the mountain tops and form their cloud}' canopy.— What viewless messenger draws them Upwards, and conveys them thither?— What unseen hands congeal the icebound glacier upon those lofty summits, where the eagle spreads not his pinions and the startled chamois fears to climb ? Whose is the strength to hurl the thundering avalanche from the Alpine heights, and crush beneath its weight the devoted in habitants of the lowly vale? Where do the winds of Heaven find a prison house, and who heapeth up the treasures of, sleet and hail, to be scattered in Winter’s ' pathway? We ask, and the echoes die away unheeded. We know not where the storm spirit makes his dwelling place, nor when he will ride forth cm his whirl- : wind car, rolling his hoarse thunder, and ' darting his forked lightning athwart the j sky, shutting out the sunlight from the ; darkened horizon, and wrapping the de solated earth in the snowy mantle his lie- j numbed fingers have woven. Upon many a consecrated altar hath Nature j lighted up those volcanic fires which are | to burn unquenched unquenchable: through the lapse of revolving ages. Their mingled smoke and flame curl upward like an incense eioud to seek an serial resting place, while the burning lava wraps its lurid folds about the habi tations of men, and sends forth its desola ting streams over the smiling village and verdant plain. ' We gaze and tremble, for who knoweth the might of the volcano ? The earthquake causes consternation and dismay—man fears to question a power which shakes the foundations of “the everlasting hills,” overthrows the city of his habitations, and rings out its mourn ful death-note over the affrighted sea.— In the dim aislesof the forest nature walks unseen, spreading a leafy coveripg over the rtfge*d oak or th* 5 majestic elm, con veying to each fibrous root its appropriate nourishment, and distilling from the morning dew a fragrance for each simple flower that springs up in her pathway.— At her bidding the refreshing shower and the genial sunshine expand the leaf-bud on its slender stalk, and “The store of rainbow color which the sceJs conceal, Sheds out its tints from its dim treasury, To flash and circle in tt.e flewir.” W r hen morn’s rosy light faintly gleams in the eastern sky, unaided and unper ceived, wakeful nature opens the gates of day, and bids the flaming chariot of the sun roll its-nppointed round; and “when eve is purpling cliff and cave,” she draws the curtains of night round the worn 6nd weary earth. "With azure and vermillion she paints the fleecy clouds, and on the brow of the eternal cataract she traces the brilliant hue of the o’erarching Iris which breathes the spirit of the beautiful unop proached by mortal passion or mortal care. Nature alone stands on the verge of the awful precipice, heedless of the ele mental war, “measuring the roaring tor rent in the hollow of her hand,” and “weighing the mountains in scales und the hills in a balance,” and saying to the mighty deep : “hitherto shalt thou come, and here shall thy proud waves be stay ed.” When we turn our eyes upward to explore the fields of ether, who shall tell us the number of the stars of Heaven, teach us their choral symphonies, orcon jecture the date of their existence ! Will the Astronomer stay the meteor in its flight, or can he summon with potent voice those brilliant coruscations, whose roseate hues so often tinge a northern sky? lint nature hath mysteries still more inscrutable. They are linked with the nature and the destiny of man In the words of another it may be said— “ That mystery and marvel bind that lof ty thing, the human mind.” Who hath fathomed the depth of the human heart, or unfolded the mysteries of that more “startling thing, the human soul ?” The God ol Nature hath enshrined it in a temple of unrivalled symmetry and beau ty, given it capacities for suffering and enjoying, and will hereafter unveil to its astonished vision the mysteries that have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. N>> Bride for the Wedding. A case of painful and singular inter est recently occurred on the island of Arran,having a considerable resemblance in its details of some of the tragic border ballads of the olden time. Recently, the daughter of a respectable farmer in Auch incairn, a village three miles south of L.t ml ash,'(says the Glasgow Courier) was about to be married to a yomig man of her own rank in life. The mafriage day arrived, and as the custom is, a cav alcade of friends were invited to assemble at her father’s house at an early hour to proceed from thence to meet the bride groom, who resided at the north end of the island, some fifteen miles distant.— The morning was very stormy; so that from that and other causes, only three appeared to proceed on the journey.— The bride felt the circumstance as a con temptuous injury done to her feelings and character, and could not brook the thought oi her intended husband wit nessing such a small number approach ing to meet him on the road, especially as she knew his company would be num erous. So intense did her mental suffer ings become, that ere mid-day, reason was unhinged, and the young and bloom ing bride became a wild and fearleS3 maniac. The anxious bridegroom and his party reached her father’s house, but she resisted all his entreaties, and refused all consolation. The fearful malady in creased till nature was exhausted and vitality expired, and on Friday follow ing her bridal bed was made in the cold grave of Kilmorrio church yard Arkansas* Colossal Remains. —ln Randolph Li near Mt. Recluse, the remains of some great Behemoth have been lately discov ered by J. B. Anthony, which will no doubt be interesting matter of speculation to naturalists. The shoulder blade, or scapula, is six feet in width by eight in length; distance from head of the animal to socket of the thigh bone about forty nine feet: a tusk projecting from the head 29 inches in diameter at its lower extremity and eight feet in length, and weighing nearly three hundred pounds: incisor or cutting teeth forteen inches long and nine wide : cuspidati or dog teeth thirty inches clear of the jaw, in length : anterior and posterior molares or grinding teeth, twelve by eighteen inch es across thecrown surface : teeth weigh ing from 7 to 18 pounds. From the position and character of the teeth, the animal is supposed to have been of tha carnivorous order. We Ure indebted for these facts to the Arkansas Banner. The prodigious stature of the animal is one of the most singular and astonishing ol ali past discoveries. The remains were ex humed at a distance of twenty feet below the surface of the earth, and beneath an almost impenitrable stratum of cement. Southern Reformer.

I hasteti to lav before your readers short account of tho death of the Ohio Bear, which, I fear, v.’ill be truly mortify ing to the Feds of Virginia. That vile animal had the impudence to make his appearance at Goochland Court House, on Monday, the 18th inst. and actually attempted io prove to the intelligent far mers of that good old Democratic coun ty, that they were yet in their horn-book, end could not distinguish between the long ears of a Jack Ass and the true prin ciples of old Virginia Politics. For my part, I was surprised to see the attention that Was paid to so uncouth a beast, and I Cannot better express my astonishment, than by the relation of an anecdote told to me on that day by a gentlemen of that comity. He said an uncle of his had just repaired his mill, when one of his negroes, whom he called Jes, came info house one night in great wrath, to inform his master that a neighbor of his was about to put up a mill in opposition, about a mile off. “And what of that?” said his master. “Has he not a right to build a mill on his owr. land ?” “I don’t know, mass, (said Jes,) so well about dat; lut I am sartain of this much, that it is a great piece of presumption in him to put a mill so near to you r’s.” Sol thinkof the Ohio Bear, even if he had a right to address the people of Goochland, it was a great piece of presumption in him to undertake to enlighten people who have forgotten forty times more than he ever knew; for, they are, with very few exceptions, peo ple of uncommon intelligence, and too well versed in the political historyoftheir country, to be trapped l y those who have no oilier recommendation, than a com mission from Harry Clay to preach Fed eralism, through the length and breadth of this Republic, with a promise, that he will not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. What, Messrs, editors, would be the condition of our country, if this be a sample of the Ministers who will be selected by Mr. Clay, in case he should unfortunately reach the Presidential Chair? * , The first tale the Ohio Bear told the people of Goochland was, that he, as they are, as hesupposes, ineffably stupid, came to inform them what were Whig princi ples, for, (says he,) the Democrats have no principles, or, at least, they change their principles every two weeks, not thinking the Whigs of Virginia hadbten so stupid ns to publish to the world a set of principles for 1844, diametrically op posed to those which they sent forth from their Convention of 1840, and that they met in the called session of Congress in May, ’4l, and pursued a course, opposed to all their professions three months be fore. He would first tell them what sort of a Taiiff the Whigs wanted. They wanted a Tariff with such a protection as would enable the manufacturer to sell goods cheap, and that was what the far mer wanted. “How (says he,) can this be done ?” Why, by laying a duty on English goods, and protecting our manu facturers. Thus, you will have a home market for all you can make, and a bet ter market, and, of course, more money to buy goods ! He undertook to prove this, by saying, “it was easier to travel from the head of his cane to the middle, than to the end; therefore, ifwewantcheap goods, we must have manufactories at our doors, and save the expense of carry ing them to Europe.” This is fine logic, and seemed to tickle the cubs around him very much. Mr I<eake, who rose under loud and numerous calls, spoke with more than ordinary feeling and eloquence. He took the Bear by the ears, and shook h:m to pieces in an instant. He showed, con stitutional and impolitic—that if we had manufactories at our doors, that could not make goods cheaper, or cur products higher, for, said he, it is often the case, that the farmer in the county of Fluvan na gets more for his tobacco (ban those that live about Richmond. “Why was this?” It might be, (said he,) because the soil was too Whiggish to bring to bacco about that city. It certainly was not because the county of Fluvanna was nearer to market than Kenrico, and, ns to the Tariff s making goods sell cheap, the idea was utterly preposterous. No one could believe that the Yankees were so extremely modest, that they could not sell their goods cheap without asking Congress for a Tariff to make them do it. “How can this be done,” when the Yan kee asks more for his goods with a Tariff, than without one, and the merchant lays on the duty, in addition, before they a.e purchased by the farmers ? Ke said it was unjust and unconstitutional to tax the farmer for the benefit of the manu facturer, and he appealed to the farmer to know how he could be benefitted by a Tariff, the object of which was to con - pel him to pay a duty on the necessarus ot life, (the poor man’s sugar, and salt, and shim,) 'to make the rich one still richer. He could never believe that fte people of Goochland were so “ineffably.” The Ohio Rear referred to the correspon dence of Mr. Jefferson to prove that he. was in favor of the same kind of a Tariff which the Feds wanted, and to Gen lockin’? nK-rsige tn strengthen his as-
