They are the “Momoira of Count Ratopchin,” [the same who burnt MoscowJ written in ten minutes. We sub join a few paragraphs, each of which con stitutes a chapter: My Birth—On the 12th day of March, 1675. I merged from darkness into the light of day I was measured, I was weighed, I was baptised. I was bom without knowing wherefore, and my parents , thanked heaven without knowing it. My Education.—I was taught all sort of things, and learned all sorts of'laugnages. By dint of impudence and quackery I sometimes passed for a forarrt. My head lias becone a library of old volumes, of which I kept the key. My Sufferings—I was tormented hy masters, by women, by ambition, by self- love, by useless regrets, and by remem brances. Memorable Epochs—At the age of thir ty I gave up dancing; at forty, my en deavours to please the fair sex; at fifty, my regard of public opinion; at sixty; the trouble of thinking; and now I have be come a true sage, or egotist, which is the same thing. Respectable Principles.—I have never meddled in any marrages or scandal. I have never recomended a cook or a physi cian, and consequently never attempted the life of any one. My Dislike.—1 have a dislike to sots and fops, and to intriguing women, who make a game of virtue; a disgust of affect- tation; pity for made tip men anil painted women; an aversion to rats, liquors, meta physics, and rhubarb; and a terrer cf justices and wild beasts. Analysis of my Life—I await death without fear and witho6^ impatience. My life has been a bad melo-drama on a grand stage, where 1 have played the horo, the tyrant, the lover, the nobleman, but never the valet.

Morgan We have already given a brief account of some of the- recent exploits of the gal lant and intrepid cavalier,Captain John H AIorgan and his brave men, in the vicinity of Nashville. His squadron belongs to Major General Hardee's command, and he was left in command of the post at Mur freesboro’, and to watch the movements of the enfcmy. O11 the 7th inst„ in the afternoon, Capt. Morgan, Lieut. Col. Robt. Wood, (who accompanied him as an- aniateui,) five of Capt. M.’s men and ten Rangers, went eighteen miles toward Nashville, avoiding the"pike, encamped that night and early the next morning entered the Federal Hues under the direction of good guides. They were forced to pass within half a mile of a camp of Federal cavalry and captured five men of the 13th Ohio regiment (Col. Smith) with their Enfield rilies. Continuing their march towards Nashville they took posi tion near the Lunatic Asylum, commanding a full view of the turnpike. Soon a train of wagons, with a guard, appeared insight; whereupon Col. Wood, the Captain and four of his men, clad in U. S. overcoats, rode up, stopped the train, captured 23 prisoners, and cutting loose the horses and mules from the wagons, mounted the pris oners on them and sent them back to our men in the woods. This operation was repeated until the prisone.s numbered nine ty eight including an aid of General Du mont and several other officers. The prisoners were divided into three squads under seperate guard, aud all start ed to return to Murfreesboro’. Lieut. Owens and 10 men, having 60 prisoners in charge, were attacked and pursued by . , . _ , , the 4tli Regiment Ohio Cavalry.

In all proceedings against debtors who I tenant and six of his men eluded their pursuers by Ifeaping their horses from a steep bank into the river and swimming across. The enemy declined, to emulate their daring example. The other four men, to avoid capture, turned into the woods and at last accounts, had not been heard from. The enemy fired several shots at the part}’, but without effect. Two officers among the prisoners resisted and were shot. Col. Wood and fourteen men, with ten prisoners went across the country, and passing within a mile of the Federal cav alry, reached the vicinity of Murfreesboro’ that niglu. Capt Morgan was returning alone, to wn ds Muifreesboro’, and encountering a picket of six men captured them and their aims. This is said to have been accom plished in this manner.* T£e'discovered the picket in a house, and-.JiuKiDg^ on a Federal uniform or, perhaps, oyercoat, as- Si med a bold front and the confident air of a Federal officer, rode up-'*to the picket and rebuking the officer in command for not attendingproperly to his duty, oadered him to give, up his arms, which lie did. He then, directed him under penalty of death to call out the men one hy one and surrender their arms, which was done— and all surrendered. One cf Morgan’s men, named Spalding, joined him with 4 other prisoners, and they came up with Col. Wood aud his party, next morning ami all returned to Muifreesboro’ with 38 prisoners, who were sent on to Sallisbury, N. C., for confinement.

The board is empowered to purchase tools, seedes, animals, etc, to the amount ofSIOanacre, and to employ a superin tendent, either at a fixed salary of $1,200 a year, or at a compensation not to exceed $3,000 yearly, contingent upon the success of his husbandry. A register is to be kept of all indigeut persons who come into the plantation, with a description of each of such persons, to be employed at fifty cents a day and properly caried for , mon ey to be advanced to them for clothing and other necessaries. Hospitals are to be erected for the sick, and physicians provided and paid by the board ; a semi annual report to be made of the receipts and expenditures; and the profits, if any to be placed to the credit of the Secretary of the Treasury, who will supply the funds necessary, with a history of the condition of the indigent people who shall have been under their care. The Express adds; The “elephant” of 800 or 10,000 pauper negroes being on our hands—their natural South Carolina protectors having run away—we have no other alternative than to turn negroe overseers, and woik the negroes as w - ell as we can. But “Uncle Sam” is notoriously the poorest sort of a landlord, and, of course, a much worse planter. We have no donht that in his new character of cotton planter he will run in debt, heels over head, and that his “board ofrece’vrs.’^guar’d, sup’dent,” etc, will eat him out of house and home, and come up to the treasury with the heaviest sort of unpaid hills. But what else can we do? The men that has an “elephant” must not let him starve, $9,000 Reward for the Discovery of Salt. Gov. Brown, in response to a sugges tion by Messrs.
