The Old Clock.
IIT JAMES S,',CK.
Two Yankee wajp, one summer day,
Stopped at a tavern on llioir way,
Supped, frolicked, late retired to ns ,
And woke to breakfast on the beat.
The breakfast over, Tom and Will
Scat for the landlord and the bill;
Will looked it over t “ Very right—
Rill hr.ld! what wonder meets my sight!
Tom! the surprise is quite a shock!”—
“What wonder! where?”—“The clock! the clock!”
Tom and the landlord in amaze
Stared at the clock with stupid gaze,
And fora moment neither spoke;
At last the landlord silence broke—
“ You mean tin' rlock that's ticking there?
I sec no wonder I declare;
Tho' may be, if the truth were told,
’Tis rather ugly—somewhat old;
Yet time it keeps to half a minute;
But, if you please, what wonder’s in it?”
“Tom; don’t you recollect,” said Dill,
“The eloek at Jersey near the mill,
The very image of this present,
ith which I won the wager pleasant?”
Hill ended with a knowing wink —
Tom scratched his head and tried to think.
“Sir, begging pardon for inquiring,”
The landlord said, with grin admiring,
“ What wager was it ?”
“You remember
It happened, Tom, in last December,
In sport I bet a Jersey lilue
That it was more than he could do,
To make his finger go and come
In keeping with the pendulum,
Repeating, till one hour should close,
•Still, “ Here she goes — and there .shegoes” —
He lost the bet in half a minute.”
“Well, if / would, the devil’s in it!”
Exclaimed the landlord ; “ try me yet,
And fifty dollars be the bet,”
“Agreed, but we will play some trick
To make you of the wager sick.”
“I’m up to that!”
“ Don’t make us wait.
Begin. The rlock is striking eight.”
lie scats himself, and left and right
His finger wags with all its might,
And hoarse his voire and hoarser grows
With— l here she goes — and there she goes /”
1 Hold ! said the \ anker, “plank the ready !”
The landlord wagged his finger steady,
While his left hand, as well as able,
Conveyed a purse upon the table.
“Tom, with the money let’s be off!”
This made tho landlord inly scoff;
He heard them running down the stair,
But was not tempted from his chair;
Thought he, “the fools! I’ll bite them yet!
So poor a trick shan't w in the bet.”
And loud and loud the chorus rose
Os, “ here she goes—and there she goes /”
While right and left his finger swung,
In keeping to his clock and tongue.
His mother happened in, to see
Her daughter; “ where is Mrs. It ?
When will she come, us you suppose ?
Son!”
- “ Here she goes—and there, she goes /”
‘Here! where!—’ the .lady in surprise
His finger followed with her eyes;
“Son, why that steady gaze and sad—
Those words—that motion—arc you mad ?
But here s your wife—perhaps she knows,
And”
“ Here she goes—and there she. goes /”
His wife surveyed him with alarm,
And rushed to him and seized his arm;
He shook her off, and to and fro
His finger persevered to go,
While curled his very nose with ire,
That she against him should conspire,
And with more furious tone arose
The, “ here she goes—unit there she goes.”
“Dawks! ’ screamed the wife, “ I’m in u whirl!
Run down and bring the little girl;
She is his darling, and who knows
But"
“ Here she goes—and there she goes /”
‘Lawks! he is mad! what made him thus?
Good lord! what will become of us?
Run fora doctor—run—run—run—
For doctor Brown, and doctor Dun,
For doctor Black, and doctor White,
And doctor Grey, with all yout might.”
The doctors came, and looked and wondered,
And shook their heads, and paused and pondered,
’Till one proposed he should be bled,
!‘No—leeched you mean—” the other said—
“ Clap on a blister,” roared another,
“ No—cup him —“no—trepan him, brother!”
A sixth Would recommend a purge,
The next would an emetic urge,
The eighth, just come from a dissection,
His verdict gave for an injection)
The last produced a box of pills,
A certain cure for earthly ills;
“1 had a patient yesternight,”
Quoth he, “and wretched was her plight,
And ns the only means to save her
Fhree dozen patent pills I gave her,
And by to-morrow I suppose
That"’
“ Here she goes—and there she goes /”
“ You all are fools," the lady said,
“The way is, just to shave his head.
Run, bid the barber come anon”
“ Thanks mother,” thought her clever son,
“ You help the knaves that would have bit me,
But all creation shan't outwit me!”
This to himself, while to and fro
His finger perseveres to go,
And from his lip no accent flows
But “ here she goes—and there she goes."
The barber came—“ Lord help him! what
A querist) customer I’ve got;
But we must do our best to save him—
So hold him, gemmen, while J shave him!”
But here the doctors interjtose—
“ A woman never"
“ There she goes /"
“ A woman is no judge of physio.
Not even when her baby is sick.
He must be bled —“ no—nr)—a blister*'—
“A purge you mean"—“ 1 say a clyster"—
“No—cup him—” “leech him—” '"pills! pills!
pills!” 1
And all the house the uproar fills.
\\ hat means that smile! what means that shiver ?
The landlord s limbs with rapture quiver,
And triumph brightens up Ins face—
His linger yet shall win the race !
The clock is on the stroke of nine
And up he starts •“’Tis mine! ’tis mine!’’
" What do you mean?"
“I menu the fifty !
I never spent an hour so thrifty ;
But you. who tried to make me lose,
Cio to the devil, if you choose ;
But how is this? where arc they?”
“Who?”
“ The gentlemen—l mean the two
Came yesterday—are they below?”
“ They galloppsd off an hour ago.”
“ Oh, purge me! blister! shave and bleed!
For, curse the knaves, I'm mad indeed!”
CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
A II HUNT A .
TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 2.
(Jjr - The following gentlemen were yesterday
elected without opposition, Delegates to the Re
duction Convention, for Richmond county;
Hon. John I*. King,
Hon. John Hciilt,
» Charles J, Jenkins, Esq.
Hen at Mealing, Ksij.
We would call the attention of the public, to
the sale of real estate, at the market house, this
morning, advertised in another column.
Itwdl he seen that the properly is situated iu
various parts of the city, and comprises some
very valuable locutions, and likely to become more
so. The recent rapid increase, in the population
and.business of Augusta, warrants the expecta
tion that real estate must he more valuable than
at present; and an opportunity rarely oilers like
that now presented, for profitable investment.
Resides the lots, the water works are also to he
offered. Making no allowance for increased con
sumption, the present nett annual income of this
properly is more than fifteen per cent, on the esti
mated value at pat; And it is believed that a
moderate additional expenditure would afford the
means of a more abundant and more certain sup
ply, by the use of iron pipes. The consequcn 1
increased consumption would necessarily in
crease the income, and render this one of the
most desirable investments in the country.
I'nhlic Meeting.
At a mcclihg of the citizens of Augusta, held 1
at the City Hall, on Monday, the first of April,
1839, his honor to the Mayor was culled to the (

North Carolina Silver.— The Fayette
ville Observer of the 27th nil., stales that a wagon,
from Davidson county, brought to that place on
the previous week, upwards of a ton weight of
native silver ore. from the Washington mine of
A. King & Co.
Death or Chancellor Desaussure. —The
Charleston Courier of yesterday stales that this
venerable man and useful citizen departed ibis
life, on Friday last, in that city, having passed
the boundary of three score and ten, and reached
the advanced age of seventy-five years.
Il is said in one of our slips, that the Motto ‘
ilisto in Missouri are fitting out an expedition f<*
the Columbia River, which is expected to depa.
in June. The colony will consist of some fift
mechanics and artizans, and a few preachers at
men of science; all of whom arc to lake fam
hex with them. While wishing them success, v
cannot but apprehend they will incur some da
gcr from the followers of the British and Russii f
trading companies, who are trying to monop
lize the rightto trade, as well as the right of so *’
in Oregon.
The following is an abstract of the letter writ
ten by General Jackso.v, in 1837, to Mr. Wis j
chairman of the Investigating Committee. Tl '■
Public can now judge which was nearest tl f
truth — Gen. Jackso.v or Mr. Wise:
“It is obvious that, by the resolution of tl )
House, an issue is made with the President of tl *
United States, as tic had alleged in ids annui
message that the heads of the Executive Depar
men Is had performed their ollicial duties wit *
ability and integrity, In your speech, you denie I
this; you charged them with manifold corruption!
aud iilmscs_of trust, nsyou had done inyour torn >
er speeches to which you referred ; and you di <
inuuded an investigation through the medium <!'
a committee. * • * *
'Plic heads of the Departments may answer sue I
a request ns they please, provided they do nc •
withdraw their own time, and that of the officeil
under their direction, from the public business I •
the injury thereof. To that business I shall dim I
them to devote themselves, in preference to an *
illegal and unconstitutional call fur informal iai, »
no matter from what source it may conic, or how*
ever anxious they may be to meet it. For hix •
self, I shall iiepel all such attempts at an ivasioil
of the principles of justice, as well as of the Con l
stitution, and I shall esteem it my sacred duly tit
the People of the United States to resist them
as I would the establishment of a Spanish Inqui
sition.”
The National Intelligencer of the 28th states
that the removal of Mr. Skinner from the Post
Office at Baltimore was, it seems, the work of a
sort of Junto in that city, which appears to have
charged itself with the duly of ordering the Prcsi.
dent of the United States whom to remove from
office, and whom to appoint thereto. The Balti
more < hronidcof the 28th thrown some light on
the manner of this removal in the following para,
graph ;
“And how was his [Mr. Skinner’s] removal
effected 1 If it is not known to all the wotld
if it is not known to the President—it ought to
he—it shall be. ]Vo public complaint was alle
ged against’him. No charge of malversation in
office was made or whispered. An emissary
from Washington, formerly the editor of the Ad
ministration paper in this city, and now a clerk
in the Post Office Department, came to jhis city
and procured a meeting of the‘Democratic Cen
tral Committee,’as it is called, and this caucus,
meeting under the cloud of night, solemnly re
solved that Mr. Skinner must ho displaced. Nor
is this all. This same club, not content with the
[ask of removal, proceeded to decide upon whom
die vacant office was to lie conferred. A ballot
was had ; and between whom, People of Balti
nore, were the votes of this assemblage divided?
loshua Var.sant and Samuel Barker [the ex-edi
or above referred to] were the two persons who
hared the suffrages of these dispensers of office
hese kind friends who relieve the President of
he care and responsibility of selecting the in
cumbents of tile offices entrusted to his charge
iy the Constitution. To recite these imlisputa
de facts is sufficient to challenge the unanimous
cproval of the community.”
Maine has appropriated the sum off 153,984 74
to pay the bounties on wheat and corn raised in
that state the past year.
AlitUAbufttlon.
An immense meeting /f (he people of Cincin
nati was held at the CWrt House in that city on
the 9th ultimo, at whi/i resolutions condemnato
ry, in the strongest manner, of the principles and
objects oi the Abolitionists, were unanimously
adopted. All parties, the friends of Mr. Van Hu
ron, Mr. Clay, and of Gen. Harrison, united in
this patriotic expression of sentiment. Amongst
other things the resolutions declare that the Con
stitution was the result of a compromise, aud that
any association calculated by its principles to
break the compact thus formed, is a breach of
faith to the dead, an absolute wrong to the living
—detestable alike for its bad faith, and its insur
rectionary and most treasonable designs.
It was also further resolved, that so long as
those societies exist, and continue their exertions,
the meeting would oppose them by such legisla
tion as will place the aiders and abettors of such
schemes in their true positions, as parricidal ene
mies to the land that has fostered ami protected
them, and use all honest efforts to make the pro>-
pagamlists of their doctrines amenable, by law,
to the penalties appropriate to a mischievous in
ternal foe.
Another Sub Treasurer bone.—John
Fulton. Post Master at Upper Red Hook, was de
tected last week in purloining from the mail hag,
a letter containing money. It was known that
money had been taken from the mail during the
winter, at some office between Hudson and
Poughkeepsie, aud an agent from the General Post
Office was put on the alert to ferret out the delin
quent, who caught the chap in this wise;—he put
in the mail bug at the Hudson Office, a letter con
taining a small sum of money; and immediately
on leaving each intervening, office he examined
the hag, and found all right until the mail left
Upper Red Hook, when the letter was missing.
Fulton was immediately’arrested, and on giving
bonds for $lOOO, for his appealancc to answer to
the charge, was sot at liberty. Whether he is al
ready on his way to Texas, or some other asylum
for the oppressed, we have not learned. —Hudson
Republican.
The Aroostook mountains. —Dr. Jackson
the Geologist of Maine, gives an interesting nc*
count of his examinations of the mountainous
region of the disputed territory, near the Penob
scot Forks, which gives a graphic feature to that
part of the country, and makes it one of the most
sublime and imposing formations. Mount Mala
kin [we shall not attempt to pronounce the word
spelt— Ktakun —leaving that to the Poles] is a
lofty, precipitous cone of pure granite, whose
treeless summit, having no vegetable growth but a
few bushes of the mountain cranberry and spicy
blueberries, was attained with great labor, by
clambering up almost perpendicular crags, it
was ascertained to be 5,300 feet elevation, the
highest in Maine. What is remarkable, is that
in this granite formation was found diluvial lime
stone, with shell impressions, showing the sea
had been there; and in the same region limestone
with senriaceous trap melted and inthreelaled into
its seams in an elegant manner, showing, nl so
that volcanic action had been at work. From one
high mountain, the sugar loaf cone, he saw around
him no less timnffly lofty peaks, anil ir- en’tcn
mountain lakes, cascades of 200 feet full,
Why, this Aroostook country must hereafter he
called the Alpine regions of Maine,

First or April.
Mr. Jones—Can any of your readers inform
me why the first of April is called “All fools’
day,” and what is the origin of the practice ofdc"
ceptions on that day in every part of the world
and among all classes of people ? "I pause for
a reply.” Ltrcirs.
From the Madisonian.
Proscription the order ol'the day.
No one can read the official organ of Monday,
and not find full evidence to show, that the work
!of proscription is to proceed. The mandate to the
i executioners has gone forth and will he carried
j out. A pretext to justify it is now sought for.
i The Globe calls on its faithful adjuncts, who act
‘•by authority,” to lend their aid. It says, “Wo
must hegthe favor of our friends, connected with
the press in the different States where the Whigs
1 hold a pernnnnent, or have achieved a tempory,
ascendancy, to make out a list of the proscribed
from otli'. e, under the respective Whig regimes to
which they have been subjected.”
Pitiful indeed ! The President of the United
States, through his organ, advertising for infor
mers to furnish him with the acts of petty Justices
of the Peace, corporations of boroughs, and select
men of towns, on which to found a justification of
his acts of vindictiveness, proscription and intoler
ance. For such and no other purpose can this
“favor” which the Globe has “begged” from its
friends he asked.
We do not doubt, that the President will, ere
long, while looking around and smiling at the dis
tress and misery which he inflicts on thousands of
men, women and children, cxullingly exclaim in
the language of the hump-backed tyrant, Richard,
“ Now by St. Paul,
The work goes bravely on.”
From the Madisonian,
Mr. Van Huron nnd a National Rank.
We venture the prediction, that before the next
regular session of Congress, every one of the Ex
ecutive Departments will have at its head a tho
rough going United States Bank advocate. Wb
go further, and say that, in our opinion, before Ju
ly, 1840, Mr. Van Huron will himself, be the
open advocate of a National Hank. Mr. Forsyth,
Mr. Poinsett, Mr. Grundy, (and we believe Mr.
Paulding also,) have been the open and avowed
advocates ofa Hank of the United States. Ap
pointments on foreign missions arc talked of,
which will dispose of those who arc opposed to
the hank or a bank; whereby, their places can be
filled with such as are friendly.
It will be recollected by alt, that at the extra
session no one was more bitter against the admin
istration, and treated its measures with more sar
casm than a certain Senator at that time, from a
southern State.—No one (not excepting Mr.
Preston) went further in favor of the Bank of the
United States and in bestowing praises on Mr.
Riddle, than did this same Senator. Notwith
standing all this, a mighty change has recently
been wrought, and this same United States Bank
supporter has become the supporter of the admin
istration 1
We venture to prophesy, that this same gentle
man will have placed in his hands the seals of the
Treasury before the summer solstice arrives.

Prediction. —Many people are apprehensive
that there will be a transatlantic explosion upon
the boundary question, the moment the nows of
Governor Fairfield’s proceedings reach the Brit
ish capital. This we think is very likely. John
Hull is a surly fellow, and we think it likely he
will not receive the tidings with any particular
show of amiability. Hut we beg to assure our
friends in and out of Wall street, that wo have
reason this morning more than ever to believe
there will be no war. Nor can Governor Fair
field and his whole Legislature bring one about.
We speak not at random when we predict that
there will be A MEDIATION. France, if nec
essary, will proffer her services as mediator, as
England did in the recent difficulty between the
United States and Mounsccr. .Mark our words.
New York Commercial Adv .
The Union Hank. —The enormous expense
of the Union Hank, press irresistibly on the no
tice.—Are the people of Mississippi made of gold
and silver, that they should pay $lO,OOO a year to
the President of this Hank; $lO,OOO to the At
torney for Hank ; $B,OOO to the first Cashier, and
$(>.000 to the second Officer of that name 1 Here
arc $34,000 for four Officers. It is an amount of
extravagant donation „• it cannot, without abuse
of language, be called compensation—beyond

ries with those of other banks in this State; or
with any of the highest departments in the Go
vernment of the United States. —Port Gibson
Cur.
Cocooneries in Germantown. —The Silk
Business will be fairly commenced in this place,
the approaching season. The Cocoonery now
nearly completed by Mr. Physic, is an immense
structure, beautifully located on a commanding
site; nnd will feed, it is estimated, between 3 and
4 millions of worms. It is built on the moat ap
proved plan, embracing every convenience and
advantage so necessary to the successful prosccu
tion of the business. About one million of worms
we are informed, will be fed the ensuing season,
under the superintendence of Mr. K. Spencer, a
gentleman well qualified for the task, and under
whose control the most successful results may be
anticipated. His attention to visitors to the
building, and his kindness in explaining matters
of inquiry connected with the business, have af
forded much satisfaction.
Another Cocoonery, of quite extensive dimen
sions, is also in the course of erection, by Mr.
Harmon Osier. It is also beautifully situated on
elevated ground, within a short distance of the
town, where the soil is eminently calculated for
the growth of the tree for feeding. Mr. O. con
templates feeding, the coming season, about 100,-
000 worms—and being among the earliest in the
business, will doubtless, from his experience, bo
fully successful.
There are several other persons who are mak
ing arrangements to feed considerable numbers of
worms so that the yield of the raw material, may
be estimated at something preUy handsome and
certainly very creditable to the enterprise of the
village.— Germantown Telegraph.
Horrible Massacre.
Athens, January 7.
On the 10th of November last the Turkish
schooner Cherkaj-Schcrgf, (the Prophet’s Man
tel) anchored in the Hay of Patras, its crew con
sisling of Captain Said, of Vouria, and nine oth
ers. The vessel carried besides, eight passengers,
a German antiquary, M. Hundschift; Mr. and
Mrs. Davidson, of Carolina, with their three
daughters, and two young Turks Abdallah and
| Hussein, twin sons of the Aga of Kars. The
j cargo consisted of Cashmere shawls, Oriental
trinkets, ('ireassian embroidery, and other valua
ble articles. On the evening of the 12th the
crew and passengers returned on board, and on
the 13th. at dawn, the vessel was to sail. The
Patras fishermen perceived by the schooners lights
that she was sailing, though they did not hear
the customary signal-gun fire.
Some hours after, « hen the sun was above the
j horizon, a few fishermen, spreading their nets on
■ the shore, descried a man struggling amidst the
j waves. Two of them rowed to his assistance, and
ar ived in time to save him. He was a youth ‘
j dressed in the Turkish costume. His condition
J- > \\
wan horrible; he was fainting, ami the 1 local was
i gushing from a largo recent wound in his head.
' He was convoyed speechless to a cabin, where
e very attention was paid him. The fishermen,
, conjecturing that other persons might have been
wrecked, proceeded with their boats in various
directions. They shortly espied the carcase of n
vessel, which was soon thrown on the coast. It
was the therkaj-Schergf. The scene she pre
santed was horrible: on the deck, which was
streaming with blood, lay the atrociously man
gled corpses of the captain and eleven other per
sons.
Below in one of the cabins, were extended the
lifeless bodies of Mrs. Davidson and her three
daughters; the slate of their corpses revealed that
the most imfamous violence had preceded their
dreadful wounds. She ship’s masts and oars had
been demolished with axes, and her whole cargo
had been plundered. The occurrence was forth
with reported to the Governor of Patras, and the
poor youth saved by the fishermen was carried to
an hospital. Every attempt at discovering the
perpetrators of this atrocious carnage was at first
li Kill ess. All that was ascertained was that on
the evening before the schooner was to have sail
ed, a brig, which appeared to ho from the island
of Samos, had heat about the Day of Patras. Two
days after the dead bodies of two more of the
crew were found on the shore. At length the
young Abdallah whom the fishermen had saved
recovered enough lodcclaro the following:—The
schooner had scarcely left the Bay ol Patras—the
sea was calm, the passengers and a part of the
crew had retired to toe cabins—when a fearful
tumult was suddenly heard.
Fifteen ruffians, armed with daggers, and ya
taghans, had hoarded the vessel, and, before any
assistance could he attempted, massacred or threw
overboard every sovl cm deck. Abdallah had be
held the death of his brother, and he was making
himself a desperate defence, when the cut of a
yataghan cast him into the sea. Abdallah added
that on the day he arrived at Patras he had been
with Uis brother and the captain into a cdfee
house, ami that he thought he had seen there two
men whom he had since seen again on the awful
night of the 12th of November. The youth far
ther staed that the capta n h id long talked before
the two men of the liciiness of his cargo, and
that, next day on the owner of the coffee house
being asked who those two strangers were, he had
replied that they were old soldiers of Hydra, liv
ing quietly at their homes. The coffee house
keeper was then questioned. At first he denied
all. Hut subsequently avowed that the two men
had conversed with Abdallah and the captain,
adding that he knew nothing of what they might
have done.
Notwithstanding this declaration, he was im
prisoned, when his wife, alarmed at the conse
quences which her husband’s concealment might
entail, disclosed the fact that the two suspicious
individuals were George Diomadi and Alexander
Oloukos, two of the most formidable pirates of
Sarnas, and that their stronghold was near the
cavern ot Philoctctcs. The woman protested that
her husband was guiltless, and that his only re
lations with them were those of a friendship form
ed while serving together in the Greek insurrec
tion. Upon these circumstances being commu
nicated to the Governor of Samos, lie hastened
witli 300 infantry and 60 horse to the Cavern of
Philoctctcs, which lie caused to he surrounded.
He in person, with 50 picked men, entered the
den. Scarcely had he entered into its dark vaults,
when lie had to sustain a discharge of musketry.
After a sanguinary struggle, which obscurity ren
dered still more horrible, the fire of the pirate
band was silenced. Fifteen of them had hern

Fanaticism in Brazil.
Fro the following story published in the liio
Janeno Journal, 0 Dwperador, our readers will he
enabled to judge of the slight advanced made by
civilization in tire interior ot Brazil. An individual
named Jono Antonio, r> siding in ihe environs ol the
village of I'edra Bonita, near I’innco, in the district
ol Ft-res, had been for some lime in the habit ol
j amusing the villagers with thelaleot an enchanted
kingdom, at the (balance of two hundred leagues,
amt had told them Dial ilie mumen ‘or breaking the
charms was at hint. In the month ot November,
IHIiT, this individual proceeded to the fongtsof
Inhmum, whence he sent one of his confederates,
named Jono Perreiro, to I’edrn Honda, win re the
laiter arrived in May last. He immcdiali ly an
nounced himsill ns the sovereign ol I lie enchanted
kingdom, prom s d to break ti e spell in fav ur of
such as would declare allegiance to hint, and as
sured ihem that immediately nfier the operation, lha
king, Don >ehastiun, the long-1 st King of Portugal,
would arrive wilha nuraeious anr.y wash theirsn
ble complexions white, and render them ail 'ieh,
happy and immortal. As the condition, however,
on w hich ihe spell was to he broken, he declan d
I that n was indisp nsuble to massacre a cert in num
b. r ol men, women and children, whom he pro
mt: ed almost immediately alio, wards m reMiscinite. I
Pcrreiro’s absurd predictions obtained beliel from a
number of credulous tana ir ks, who became his
devoted adherents. The impostor thrn,of hisown
authority, married emit olios partisans to two
three, and even four wives, and look eight help
mates to his own share. He next commenced the ;
sacrifice, and, at lire expiraiion ol four days bis ■ ic-
tuns amounted to Uveniy-one adahs and an equal ;
number of children, who had been given np to him
by I heir i nfatuiited parents. This wholesale botch- i
ery was at lust suspi tided by Ibe assassinaiion of !
the nil) o lor bimsell try bis own brother, Pedro
, iioiuino Perreiro, who proclaimed himself his
successor. Fortunately the imperial commissary
] ot tire distrc.t ol blores, 51. Jlanoed do Sjivao
. bronzn, was at length intormed of the sanguinary
scenes enacted in the village of I’edra Bonita, wither
he lost no lime in proceeding, w ith twenty-six na
tional guards mid about thirty militia iroops, tout
l tack I eetro a el his adherents, who on the approach
i | ol the armed liirco, barricaded themselves in a
, bam. Alier a desperate struggle, twenty-nine of the
■ tan nicks and their leader vve-re killed, and twenty
. lour others, including four w omen, taken prisoners
ai.d placed in the bunds ot jn-tice. 'I tie imperial
commi:sary had five men killed an I four wounded
