ivith Mexico, and General Scott was carrying
U ur victorious flag through the halls of the
Muute-Ioosers. General Washington, com
maiding the home army, had fomed a con
nation with Christopher Columbus at Nau
,. o ami defeated the combined forces of Eng
l imi France and Ilindoostau in a sanguinary
retreat on Bugtown heights. Joliu C. Fre

Bunker Hill, assisted by Lieutenant General
Harney O’Twigger of Ireland was preparing

whilst Dr. Jane, U. S. surgeon waB construc

pump and one hundred of his Carminative
Balsam.
Under these tremendous circumstances no

CHAPTER III.
Hu: wang-doodle was placed upon the hew

tenances of the uobility. Lord Dc Mozo in
voluntary elutched l'rince Blowhnsky’s coat

, historically within her hoops, whilst the bold
Count dc Scratch hitherto the bravest of the
brave, threw himself at the foot of the throne

But the mighty Gengulphus was unmoved

bosom lie was in the act of attaching one end

die fearful instrument above their bends—but
alas! in its swift descent it came in contact
with Baron de Boosey’s pipe, and glancing at
right angles clove asunder the massive doors
leading to the lloyal Menagerie! ‘Brimstone

be was too late. Ere he could again raise the
Luge weapon a fierce demoniacal howl rang
through the rooms, and the next moment an
infuriated grizzly Cod-fish rushed madly forth
from the demolished door and buried its dead
ly fangs in tho seat of the mighty Gengulphus’
inexpressibles! He uttered a sharp cry of

A Woman’s Perversity.
i .. }. * 1C Allowing story has been published
uiiierent forms, but in none as good as the
original:
Sir Hugo had reached his fiftieth year un
molested by passion, save an ardent one for l
!lowing goblet. Instead of love passages, his
delight was in tournaments, whence he alway
ic-turned victorious. At length he xvas flun
from trie saddle of his indifference by lii
beardless tilter—love! He saw Angelica
the fairest maiden of the land—forgot his gray
iiamB, and, unmindful of the incongruity of a
union between May and December, led her
to the nuptial altar. Fortunately, Angelica
was as modest as she was fair, and her firm
virtue repulsed the numerous butterflies that
swarmed round the opening flowers of her
beauty. Sir Hugo knew the tried virtue of
ms consort, and therefore she was to him dear
and precious as the apple of his eye.
One morning he rode to pay a visit to
neighboring baron in arms, his honest squire,
Conrade, trotting after him. Scarcely had
they proceeded half way when the knight sud
denly stopped, and cried—
“Come here, Conrade, a most tormenting
thought has just occurcd to me. This is the
very day that Father Nicholas comes to the
castle to say mass for my dear wife aud ray
self, aud I am not inclined to have him in my
abode during my absence; so gallop hack, and
desire your lady, in my name not to admit the
priest.”
Conrade paused aud shook his head as if in
doubt, and replied, “Excuse me, uiy noble sir,
hut perhaps the lady Angelica, if left fo her
own discretion, will do what you wish.”
“A enrse on your perhaps!” exclaimed the
knight; “I make all sure by giving the order.’’
“Do you think so ?” replied the squire
“now I, in my simplicity, believe exactly the
contrary. Take the advice of your faithful
servant for once in your life; let things take
their course, and give no order upon so deli
cate a point.”
“A fig for your delicacy,” cried Sir Hugo
angrily; “what absurd fancies you have got
into your head to-day! Do you think an
hour’s ride a task so very tedious I"
‘.‘Oh! if it comes to that, sir,” rejoined Con
rade, "I have no more to say.”
He put spurs to his horse, and rode back to
the castle.
Angelica saw him galloping up, aud cried
interrorfrom tliewindow, “What has brought
you back iu such haste ? Has any accident
happened to my Lord ?"
“None, whatever, gracious lady,” answer
ed Conrade; “but the noble knight was ap
prehensive that some accident might happen
ou, if by any chance you took a fancy to ride
ultan.”
“I ride—ride the large greyhound!” ex
claimed Angelica in utter astonishment. “I
believe you are drunk or mad. It is impossi
ble that yonr master can have sent us so ri
diculous a message.”
Aye, but he did though,” pursued the
squire “and my noble master said at the time
that he knew Sultan would bite terribly, not
being accustomed to he made a pony of; and
he therefore begs that you will not attempt to
divert yourself iu that xvay.” Having said
this, he again mounted his horse and galloped
off to rejoin his master.
Ami awake, or do I dream ?” ejaculated
Angelica. “The folly of Sir Hugo is so strange
that I am almost tempted to believe it all a
wild dream. What does he mean ? Is it not
enough that I have hitherto tried to read his
every will and wish, and, when known, obey
ed them implicitly; and do I deserve that he
should stretch his power so far, and play the
capricious, haughty tyrant ? Now I see that
to be too submissive, too softly compliant, is
not the way to treat him; the worm that
crawls in the dust is trampled upon. But no,
Sir Ivnight, it is not gone quite so far with us
yet, in spite of you I will ride Sultan ; and you
may tbauk yourself, as but for your message,
such a thought would never have entered my
head.”
Her soliloquy was here intercepted by the
entrance of a servant, who informed her that
Father Nicholas had arrived, and was in the
antechamber.
“I cannot receive his visit to day,” said
the consort of Sir Hugo, “for my lord is ab
sent. Give this ns my excuse to the rever
end father, and beg of him to return to mor-
In mute astonishment the knight hurried to
seek an explanation from his squire, who had
clipped away wlu-u Angelica began her com-
plaint. “W lint message did you bring your
lady ?” demanded he.
Conrade now confessed the truth.
" cr ® these the orders I gave you, you
scoundrel 1” said the enraged Sir Hugo.
“Certainly not,” replied the squire; “but
you will own that I have made my point good.
A. ou may now sec how it would have been had
I given your order about the young priest.
My noble lady is a model for her sex, aDd al
most an angeJ, but still she is a daughter of
Eve, who meant to have bequeathed to all her
lineal female descendants her own spirit of
perverseness. And we have only to remem
ber the Lady Angelica’s pleasant ride upou
out tan, to he convinced that it had lost none
of its vigor in the descent.”

Tlie Slaver—her Crew and Cargo.
The real name of the captured brig is the
Geu. Putnam. These letters are partially e-
rased and covered by those of the assumed
name Echo, and would doubtless have been re
stored, had success crowned the enterprise in
which she was engaged when taken. She is
of Baltimore build, say 280 tons harden, and,
it is believed, was formerly a packet in the cof
fee trade between that port and Rio. On the
titli March last she cleared from New Orleans
with a captain, two mates, eight seamen, a cook,
steward and one passenger. On the 5th July
she shipped a cargo of -155 slaves on the west
coast of Africa, at Kabendn, situated in latitude
5.30 south, longitude 12.20east. It is in Lower
Guinea, in the southern part of the District
of Loango, and not far from the river Congo or
Zaire. These slaves were purchased in a circuit
of500 miles, and assembled at a barracoon near
the point of shipment. The brig set sail with
them, and in forty-seven days made the trip,
reaching the point of destination on the morn
ing of the 21st inst. In this space of time one
hundred and forty one negroes had died, leav
ing but three hundred and fourteen alive. A
bay on “Cay Verde,” one of the keys on the
north coast of Cuba, latitude 23.30, longi
tude 80.20, was the landing place, where the
Echo was detected by the Dolphin. The offi
cers of the Dolphin left the harbor of Sagua la
Grande the day before, and xvhile cruising west
ward in search of slaves, perceived the Echo
at daylight in the distance, bearing the British
flag, ana running down the coast ahead of the
Dolphin in the same direction. No suspicion
was excited. The brig entered a bay. The
Dolphin run on her course, and in good time
came in view of the bay and the Echo. The
captain of the slaver now lost his presence of
mind, supposing he was suspected and pursued,
and suddenly hauled off from the coast. It was
then observed that a number of launches near
shore had their sails set to the brig. This veri
fied the suspicion excited by her strange move
ment, and the Dolphin gave chase to the flying
vessel, still bearing the British flag. Blank
cartridges were fired, aud it became evident
that the pursuer gained. The slaver spread
all her canvas in vain, and finding herself about
to fall into the clutches of the cruiser, thought
to be British, hauled down that flag and run
up the Stars aud Stripes.
The Dolphin followed suit, displaying her
placed in the midst of circles of eight or ten
each, and well guarded to prevent the strong
negroes from taking more than their, share, al
though all are liberally allowed. A pint of
water is given to each, morning and evening.
Most of them sleep on deck, being placed in
eloseorder, spoon-fashion,on their sides,and not
permitted to turn or move during the night
At day light they are dashed with buckets of
water to wash them off. They sing songs,
clappiug their hands and rocking their bodies
in time, and these songs have a great resem
blance to some of our negro spirituals. Several
of the negro fellows exercise authority very
much after the manner of our drivers, with
airs of authority and ridiculous gesticulation
and grimaces. Others were cooking the “big
pot” like good fellows, and with old breeches
on too, obtained from the sailors. The captain
of the hold understands their lingo, and says
they are very averse to going hack to Africa,
as the United States’ law requires. Onr coast
resembles that they come from, and the group
of pines opposite the city on the south, looks
to them like cocoanut trees of their native Af
rica.
Yesterday, under the direction of the Uni
ted States civil officers, the negros, 30G in
number, were taken by the steamer Gen.
Clinch aud conveyed to Castle Pinckney, in
our harbor, where they will be guarded by a
detachment from the'garrison at Fort Moultrie.
As they passed the plank to gain the steamer’s
deck, they presented a strange and affecting
sight, many, of them being reduced to mere
skeletons by the suffering and deprivations of
the voyage. Several were in a dying condi
tion—a few dropsical, and a goodly number
apparently in health. They were visited on
Saturday by Mayor Macbeth and several Al
dermen.

I have noticed several communications in
your valuable paper extolling the merits of
various Southern watering places ; but have
seen no notice of this place, which certainly
merits a high rank as a place of resort for
those in pursuit of either health or recreation.
Montvale Springs arc situated in Blount Coun
ty, Tenn., about twenty-six miles from Lon
don and the same distance from Knoxville—
both stations on the East Tennessee and Geor
gia Rail Road, and from both of which points
daily lines of stages convey nassengers to the
Springs, over good roads, affording travelers
many fine views of mountain scenery; Tho
distance from Charleston by Railroad is about
500 miles, and after leaving Augusta, Ga.,
is through a country whose diversified scene
ry, when contrasted with the monotonous char
acter of the country along the seaboard, de
lights the eye of the traveler, and causes him
to forget much of the fatigues and tediousness
of Rail Road travel.
Among other objects of interest, a good view
of Stone Mountain is had from the cars, and
the whole route is through a fine healthy
country, a large portion of which is under
cultivation. As for the springs themselves,
the waters are known to be a certain remedy
for many of the ills that flesh is heir to, and
rarely fails to restore the invalid to his won

With her snow-white hand she continued stro

gratitude, lie would comply with her fancy,
she mounted her new steed. He showed his
teeth a little, in some doubt what all that
meant, but she soothed him again into a good
humor and patient endurance of the novel bur
then ; but he thought this quite enough, and
did not stir from one spot-. Angelica wa3 nat
urally not much pleased with being thus sta
tionary; she therefore gently goaded him with
her leg, but no trot would Sultan condescend—
he remained motionless as before, while some
thing very like a growl escaped from his im
mense and fear inspiring jaws. Out of pa
tience, she now exclaimed:
“Yon shall feel the spur, then, you lazy
brute,” and drove her heel into his 6ide. He
now growled audibly, but stirred not an inch ;
she repeated the blow. This was too much
for canine patience—he made a spring, and as
she fell full length upon the floor, he turned
and bit her hand. The dismounted rider be
dewed the floor with her tears, and then sprang
up to turn out of tlio room tho uncourteous
brute who had thus rudely shown how little
ho understood play.
Towards evening Sir Hugo returned and in
quired with suspicious haste whether Father
Nicholas had not been there.
“Oh, lie was here,” answered Angelica,
but I ventured to refuse his admittance.
The knight cast a triumphant glance at his
squire, and whispered to him, “Now, old Wis
dom, do you see the use of my orders ?”
Conrade, who, as may be supposed, had
said nothing of the alteration he made iu the
substance of his embassy,_ shrugged his shoul

I N all tho heaviest Cotton regions of tho great
South West, the INGERSOLL HOOP LOCK,
with the common ICoop Iror- Unit:!, has superse
ded every other method of securing the Cotton Bale.
Time and space would fail us to give the numerous
certificates of Cotton Planters Brokers, Warehouse
men, Insurers, Compressors and Shippers, showing
beyond a doubt, that the days of Rope binding are
numbered, and the immense advantages of the
Sloop 3. orL and Iron Tie. Their economy
wherever tried, has been conceded in these points:
1. Tlicy »Jtvo twenty to thirty dollars cost
in baling material on every oue hundred
Bags.
2. The fastening is much more expeditiously ap
plied, and much more convenient for the compress.
3. It is a perfect safeguard against loss of Cotton
from the bale.
4. Itis mi almost absolute security against
Fire. Fire applied to bales thus bound, as shown
by actual experiment, will smoulder without flame,
twenty hours without spreading, and allowing plenty
of time for easy extinguishment.
5 ltis ait absolutely secure fastening. In
actual experiments made in Montgomery, bales thus
bourn’., were pitched down forty feet perpendicular
from a house-top, upon a brick pavement, without
perceptible effect.
6. It is perfectly simple,and requires no machinery
at all in the application. Any common hoop-iron of
proper width and thickness, (whicli is about £ inch
wide, and a scant sixteenth of one inch thick,) and
of any requisite length to suit the bale, is taken
in the hand, one end passed through the opening,
from the under side, of one end of the uuder part
of the lock to the length of about one inch, and th
bent over the end of the lock. The other end of the
hoop is then passed round the halo and drawn through
a loop or opening in the opposite end of the lock,
and tnen bent in the same manner as the other. The
button is then turned back to its placo over them,
and the hoop is fast on the bale, and the bale may be
moved if desired.
7. It bolds the package in one-fourth smaller com
pass than rope—thereby rendering it easier to han
dle, and cheapening freight.
These facts and advantages are certified to by
leading Warehouse men, Planters, Shippers and Bro
kers in testimonials too numerous to be cited or spec
ified in this advertisement. In Montgomery, the
leading Brokers nnd Buyers, after the most satisfac
tory experience and tests, unite in the following a-
greement, which will leave no doubt on these points .-
We, tlie uudersigued, Cotton Brokers and Buyers,
of Montgomery, Ala., agree and give notice that we
will pay full prices for Iron Bound Cotton, if fasten

This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared oa
Strictly scientific principles, after tbe manner of the
celebrated Holland Professor, Boerhave. Because
of its great success in most of the European Sta-.s.
its introduction into the United States was intended
more especially for those of our father!and scattered
here and there over the face of this mighty country.
Meeting with great success among them, I now offer
it to the American public, knowing that its truly
wonderful medicinal virtues must be acknowledged.
It is particularly recommended to those persons
whose constitutions may have been impaired by the
continuous uso of ardent spirits, or other forms of
dissipation. Generally instantaneous iu effect, it
finds its way directly to the seat of life, thrilling and
quickening every nerve, raising up the drooping
spirit, and, in fact, infusing new health and vigor in
the system.
Notice.—Whoever expects tofiud this a b yvorage
will be disappointed; but to the sick, weak and Ion
spirited, it will prove a grateful aromatic cordial,
possessed of singular remedial properties.

The great popularity of this delightful Aroma lias
induced many imitations, wliich the public should
