Well, I wanted to find out all about it, so 1 sent to England, by a relntionof mine who is mate of a liner,, fora Hntish infantry musket, with all the sh n*.— About six weeks ago it anived here, and here it is, Captin (going to a corner and bringing out a regulation musket.) Well Captain, did you ever see such n clumsy varmint in all’ your bom days? Now, Captin, look out of the door, do you sec that biased stump ? It is exactly one hundred and fifty yards from my door. 1 have fired that clumsy varmint at the stump till my head ached, and my shoul der wasquite sore, and have hardly hit it once. Now then Captin, look*oc here, (taking up his seven barreled revolving rifle, and letting fly ono barrel after tho other.) I guess you will fin 1 seven bullets in that biased stump.— I will, however, stick 6oven playing cards on the stump, in different places, and if you ehoosc will hit every one of them.” “You are very skillful then,” 1 exclaimed. “There are plenty more as skillful as me, he responded ; “but, Captin, let me ask you, would you fit me with that machine, and all ono hundred and fifty y irds ?” “No thank you,” I hastily answered, “I had rather not.” “Would you like to be one or two, or three, or even six, with bagnet fixed and all urged “No,” I replied, certainly not. “You have tho best chance by far.” “Now, then comes my offer to the British government Will you make it to them for rao!” “No.” replied I. “If I made the finest of fer in the world to the British government, the chances are, they would not read it. If they did they would only sneer at me, and call me officious and impertinent, and very likely put a blach mark against my nainc.— I cannot, therefore, present your offer: but I will put it in print, if you like, and the pub lic can jugde of its merits.” “My offer to tho British goverment is this; J, Eickiah Conclin Brum, have learned by the papers, that the last war at the Cape of flood Hope cost ten million dollars (two millions sterling) to the British Government; and that it is likely the present war will eoet twice as much and be a protracted affair. I, Ezckiah Conclin Brum, have a high opinion of the bravory of the British soldiers, but a very contemptuous opinion of their arms. I ‘Ezckiah Conclin Brum, will undertake to on. list five thousand Yankee m.rksmen, ercli armed wi'h a Mven-barrcled revel i:,g rifle, or any better weapon that may turn up, and kill or disperse nil tho Injuns on tho Piiti-Ji territory at tho Capo of Good Hope, within fix months of our landing ths'c: conditions!- ty, that the survivor* are paid the sum of five j million doll.i-s, o:i the exti patio i of the in , jons and settlement of pome; tlms saving . . . . umbers of Biit i and - Xp ' J^t ri>>rs tbc British government ‘J-wJCsUtul us over, in their brass-bottomed serpents.

We should do it slick light I awr.7.” “Suppose you were successful,” I rejoined what would j’ou and jour Yankee maiksmen dd afterwards i” hDo afterward',” echoed he; “why we would settle the country and show them how to go ahead.” “In course, that issu-cto follow afore long whether we go or stay. But I’ll tell ’ee w hat it is,Caplin, this here gold in Australy will bring on a republic there, while you British ers arte dreaming about it.” “Good bye, Captin Ezekiah Conclin Brum,’ 1 exclaimed, as I shook bauds henrtly at pm ting. “I will print your proposal. It will have the advantage of novelty at any rate.” “Cood bye; Captin. Won’t j’ou take a chaw? But mind you wijte, and tell me all about it.” fcnwiitlcn of Spiritnallsts-Sfcond day. The p roceedings of this Convention, w hich met in Worcester, Mass, in the City Hall, on 1 hursday tho 30th ult. exceed even the non sense, bh'fjhcmy and balderdash, got ofTby the Woman’s Bights Convention. The Rev. Adin Ballou took the chair, and called the meeting to order at 11 o’clock. Andrew Jackson Davis was introduced to the Convention, and read what he said was a true and faithful record of visions bo had seen, and communications lie had received from an inhabitant of the spheres. A description was given of a congress of spirits w hich Mr. Da vis had reen with his spiritual ej'es. Ibis an gcl showed I im a cross of hail-stones suspen ded in the air, and also great fields of ponder ous electric elements and meteoric stone, and told him that the laws of gravitation were not yet well understood. The si irit showed him these t<> prove that spiritual bodies, which w’crc matter spiritualized, could walk, and have their being in the superior spheres, without any viol: fion of natural 1-ws. The si it told him to go and call men to rep nun e and life, for the kingdom of heaven was 1 1 band. Mr. Hewitt read a communication written by the spirit of John Hancock, which was approved of by the sprint of George Washing* ton Patrick Henry, Roger Sherman, and Benjamin Franklin. It is said tl at John M. °penr whs yet to he the wonder of the world. He would go forth to heal the sick and do many mam lions things. John Hancock, Patrick Henry, <tc. seem to have forgotten tin i- gram'’ a , and acquired a style of preach ing peculiar to Shakers, Ranters, Jerkers, and Barkers.. It \vns a poor production. A lady on the platform began to shake and cry out, “Ob, that I could shake all things that are to be shaken. Oh, that I could tell niv experience since I was twelve years old. Oh, repent, my friends, draw near, for the day in breaking.” A Scotch man named Davidson, looking like the Wizard of Cnmdell’s poem “Lochiel's Warning,” rose amPsaid tho spirit of John Hancock bad just told him that certain words bad been used by the medium in the commu nication read by Mr. Hewitt, which he did not approve of. A lady road a communication from n spir it in Ohio. It called on the Spiritualists to be full of love. It was a regular Ranter’s spilnrge of sermonizing.—Adjourned till 2 o’- clock. AFTETIXOON SESSIOX. Tho Convention re-assembled at two o’- clock. A Shaker said tho Shakers were Spiritual ists. He said marriage was the root of all theworid’s sin. follv and suffering—it was the basis of all selfishness. Until marriage and family were abolished, the world could not be regenerated. A red-fneed, coarse-mouthed, fat, brawny wench, from High Rock, rose with her eyes shut, and her head banging down, and spoke a lot of bad English in a harsh voice. At the same time a young man behind her whirled bis hands about, rolled bis head, clap ped his hands, and then, seizing a man’s bat, began to write with a pencil and paper on tho crown thereof. About four yards from these two lunatics, a tall idiot, with a pale, cadaverous face and black beard, got upon his feet and whirled round like a top, clapping his hands, shaking and muttering. A t last he made a dead point with ono of his hands at the Irish medium, who was grunting, blowing, and rolling her head, like a person under the influence of opi um. Mr. Bingham objected to these demonstra tions. A member, much excited, demanded that the spirits should be allowed to talk. A big fat man who sat on the platfrom of the John Rogers breed, cried out:—“Obey God rather than man; let the sprits speak— Amen, Amen,” This scene exceeded all that could be imagined Bcdlamism and folly.— The Chairman ropudited all such fanaticism and folly ns tins. If these were spit itual com munications, he pre'erred the communications w e could have from tho spirits oflivmp men. He would not allow his reason to ho import and upon bv sucbjirrntionnl dr monstmtions. The < bairn an i= a man of talent, apparently, and has reason am! candor. How bo got into such n squad is beyond comprehension, Tho Convention ndjeirncd for three months, to meet at some other locality in the Dtflte.

Senators Douglas, Cass, and Wkllebsic laboring to indoctrinate the Democratic mind with the necessity of making the annexation of Cuba a part of the Presidential platform; and two of the three -are propounding fili hupteiism and war as the agencies through which the desired object is to be consuraat ed. Senator Socle, meanwhile, is bidding for the votes of the Maine fishermen in behalf of Pierce, with a premise of war sgsiset Eng land on the fishery question. The Augusta (Me.) Ase reports him as follows: “The question of the fisheries was one deep and national interest to the people of this countrv, especially to the Noitli. They were the nurseries of those hardy, honest men whose serv ices we may desire are long in quite another enterprise. Mr. Houle intimated that there may yet be a rupture hclu cat this country and the only rival uhieh she has upon the earth. He believed the fishery question had been hastily dealt uith. Mind me, said Mr. Soule, I would not be understood ns casting any reflection upon the distinguished states man the Secretary of State, a man of mighty genius and ability. But bring a man, he is sub'ect to error; and b< ing a Whig, [great laughter,] is almost wilting to commit it.— [Tremendous cheering]. Had our Govern ment been arrive and seen the leal position of things, they might have dictated terms which would have resulted to the greatest interest of the nation. The matter was al lowed to rest. England, with characteristic shrewdness, discovered that though the Exe cutive was passive, the people of the United States were aroused on the subject, and, in advance of any action on the part of our Government, ovdeifd her naval fleet with drawn, tiekled the ears of certnjn minNters, and you are now told that thy fishery difficul ties areatan ehd. Are they? [Cries of “No,” “No,” “Never!”] XoJhey are not a! an end. If they arr v irhthe Whips, they are not trith ’he incoming Jlemoeratir administration. Mr. Soule had no desire to see the country at war; neither did lie wish silently to witness her sa cred honor imposed upon. The best way to avoid serious difficulty is never to suffer the first infringement upon your rights. It will he the duty of those vho row in'o ] over in March nejtto rectify the errors of the present Admini trafion.” These would be ominous words from any leader of the party, but proceeding from Mr. S r i,e they are indeed significant. Ileisde clared to bo the “creator” of Mr. Bieuce’s Presidential chances, and will inexitnllv oc cupy n prominent place iu his councils if he be elected. The Senator from Louisiana is dividing the labors of the contest with “the Little < riant” from ‘llinoisc, and will unques tionably share with him the honors of victory or the mortification of defeat. They are the only leaders of note who have thoroughly identified themselves with Mr. Biekce’s for tunes ; the others follow General CAss’sexam j le, and do no more than is absolutely neces sary to prevent their expulsion from the church. Os Mr. Soule’s censure of the present Ad ministration for its action on the subject of the fisheries, we need not speak. Not a sin gle privilege to which our fishermen are en titled has been conceded by Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster, who have maintained the righs justified by treaty and insisted upon by Dem ocratic predecessors. Mr. Soule’s Gallic antipathies might have been gratified by an abandonment to friendly diplomacy, and the substitution of costlier and more deadly agencies; but the sober thought of the com munity will repudiate his appeals to passion, and will ratify the temperate yet firm and satisfactory policy of Mr. Fillmore and his advisers. We must assume either that Mr. Soule, in his anxiety to serve the Democratic nominee, is anxious to gain the votes of his auditors by a resort to ‘he clap-trap of the demagogue, or that he is proclaiming the settled foreign policy of the first Douglas cabinet that may be called into existence. The two positions are not irreconcilable, and may jointly pres ent no more than the truth. Separately or together, they are valid grounds for a mark ed condemnation of the Senator and the cause be advocates, “Bierce and War” may suit Mr. Soule's fancj% and may be popular with congenial audiences; but much more than pretty rhetoric is needed to make them pala table to the country. The iYei/’ York E<press remarks: “When honorable Senators Rf? Congress, representing sovereign States of this Confed eracy, thus talk so, from Tencssee and Mich igan to maine, it becomes quite time for con siderate people to ask, and to demand to know what they mean. That war with Spain is contemplated for the forcible annexation of Cuba—war at all hazards, and involving all consequences, is quite evident from the Mich igan eloquence of Senators Douglas and Wil ier—and that war is thought of. to say the least, w ith Great Britain, in the matter of the fisheries, is quite evident also from Mr. Soule’s Maine speech. Are we mere ala> mists* then, when we so repeatedly cry —‘ Bewai r!” “There may boa rupture’ w ith Great Britain, says Mr. Soule—and not!.ing is more possible,we admit, if the Government ever falls into rash and reckless hands, such as seem stretched out for war. “The fishery difficul ties nie no 1 at an end,” adds Mr. Sonic—itid ! ceita.jr ly not, know, if.Mr. 1 illmore’s wire direction of them is to be upset by an i com ing srimh istration,’ ns Mr. Soule declares and I predicts. • t will be the duty of Mr. fierce, ’ if el -cted, in inarch next to recti j the errors 1 of the present Administration.’ “Now, t! is leitihcatiox of errors be comes a very se ions buriness; and if Air. flloule means nnj thing—ifhe is hot ntteri"g I mere froth—l e menus wnr—tW three little rimj I“innocent! ttcis of Kom tl—W-a-ii.— Th*re are no error* of Mr. 1 illmore so recti fy. He has followed exactly in the paths of the administration of Gen. Jackson, Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Tyler, and Mr. Polk; and if they committed ‘errors,’ there is no rectification of them short war.’ To do otherwise than’ they have all done, is to insist upon fishing w ithin three miles of the shore, in spite of the convention of 1818, and to bring our fleet to the Bay of Nova Scotia to meet the British fleet, gun to gun, just there; and what is this but war. Mr. Van Bureu’s administration had much correspondence with Great Britiar. on the subject of the fisheries—just as Mr. Fillmore’s administration is having—and eve rything insisted upon by Mr. Van Buren’s ad ministration, Mr. Fillmore’s administration is insisting upon, too. To ‘rectify their errors’ is to go further than they have gone, or dar ed to go; and this is certain, inevitable wnr. Indeed Mr. Soule, throughout, scarcely dis guises what he U after, notwithstanding his disclaiming—if he is after any thing hut a frothy speech on the stump to gull the people of Maine—a presumption we shall not in dulge in towards an honorable Senator.” The Webster movement. The meeting of the friends of Mr. Webster at l'aneuil Ilall, on the 13th inst., was one of the largest and most enthusiastic popular de monstrations which has ever been made in the city of Boston. His name has not lost the spell it has exercised for thirty j’ears over the people of Massachusetts. His friends are earnest, enthusiastic and active, and pledge 30,000 votes to Webster and Jenkins in No vember. North Carolinn, Pennsylvania, New Jersej’, Wisconsin and New York, are com pleting F.lectoral Tickets for the nominees of the Independent Union Party of Georgia. In Georgia and Tennessee, Independent F.lecto ral Tickets are before the people complete.— The end of the Webster movement is not yet Wc annex the official notice of the action of the Webster General Committee of New Y ork: w WEBSTER ELECTORAL TICKET.

Wednesday night last, there was an immense procession of the Young Men of Boston, friends of YVebstcr and Jenkins. On Thursday the Webster men of Boston fired one hundred guns in honor of the Web ster electoral ticket formed in New York. The New York Mirror says; “It is somewhat amusing to’hear little whip per-snapper politicians ‘damn Webster* for not coming out. YVeheardan asinine j’outh, yesterday, pronounce Daniel Webster a ‘d and fool!” We could not help’mildly replying, that wc regarded Mr. Webster as‘a man of considerable intellect!’ Pot-house politicians are just now spitting .volumes of froth at the greatest living Statesman; but they might as well attempt to squirt their to bacco juice at the face *f the sun, with the wind blowing strongly against them.” New York, Oct 16. The newest,excitement we have here grows out of the discovery by the government offi cials and their agents of another formidable and apparently well organized expedition for the invasion of Cuba. The particulars of the movement are not all divulged yet,—but this much is certain, that no fewer than fifteen hundred or two thousand men were engaged in it. There is no mistake on this point, as the developments that are destined to be made i:i the course of a few days will conclusively demonstrate. The movement is understood to be backed by ceitain politicians of influence here, act ing in concert with confederates who oc cupy at present a high position in tho South ern States. Secret as every thing hnß been kept, enough nevertheless has leaked out to establish tiffs fact. And there is an impres. rion gaining ground, that though the enter prise may be checked now by the Adminis tration of Mr. 1 illmore, the tide of popular fei ling sets so strongly towards Cuba annexa tion, that should a Democratic regime suc ceed, it will float along with, rather than seek to stem the current We shnll see.

The Government of the United States is of limi ted character, and it is confined to the exercise of powers expressly granted by the Consitution, and such as may be necessary and proper for carrying the granted powers into nil] execution, and that all powers not thus granted or necessarily implied, are expressly reserved to the States respectively and to thepeople. 2. The State Governments should be held secure in their reserved rights, and the General Govern ment sustained in its constitutional powers, and the Union should be revered and watched over as “the Palladium of our liberties.” 8. That while struggling freedom, evervwhere, enlists our warmest svmpnthy, we shall adhere to the doctrines of the Father of his Country, as an nounced in his Farewell Address, of keeping our selves free from all entanging alliances with foreign countries, and of never qniting our own to stand upon foreign groud. That our mission ns a Repub lic is not to propagate, our opinions, or impose on other'countries onr form of government, by artifice or force, but to tench by example, nnd to” show by our success, moderation and justice, the blessings of self-government and the advantages of free institu tions. 4. That where people make and control the Go vernment, they should obey its constitution, laws nnd treaties, if they would retain their self-respect, and the respect which, they clnim and will enforce from foreign powers. B. Gpverninent should be conducted upon princi ciples of the strictest economy, anil revenue suffi cient for the expenses t hereof in time of peace, ought to be mainly derived from a duty on imports, and not from direct taxes; and in levying such duties, sound policy requires a just diseriniinntion, and pro tection from fraud by specific duties when practica ble, whereby suitable encouragement may be assured to American industry, equally to all classes, to all portions of the country. 6. The Constitution vests in Congress the power to open and repair harbors, am) remove obstrnetions from nnvigalde rivers; and it is expedient that Con gress shall exercise that power “whenever such im provemets arc liecessarv for the common defence, or for the protection nnd facility of commerce with for eign nations or among the ‘States snch improve ments being, in every instance, national and general in their character. 7. The Federal and State Government are parts of one system, alike necessary for the common pros perity. peace and security, and ought to be regard ed alike, with a cordial, habitual nnd immovable attachment. Respect fdr the mrthority of each, nnd acquiescence in the constitutional measures of each, are duties required bv the plainest consideration of national, of State, and of individual welfare. 8. The series of acts of the thirty-first Congress, commonl > knbwn as the compromise or adjustment, (the net SvT the recovery of fngitives>from‘ labor in cluded, w reoeive and acquiesce in, ns a final set tlement, in principle nnd substance, of the snhject to which they relate, and so fur as these acts are concerned, wcwill maintain them and insist on theirs strict enforcement, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further legislation to reguard against the evasion of tho laws on the one hand, and the abuse of their powers on the other rot impairing their present efficiency to carry out the requirements oft be Constitution,'’ and we d;pre ’ente all further agitation of the questions thus set tled,ns dangerous to our peat!*, jurl will diseonnte nane nil efforts to continue or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever, or howeyer muds— and wo yyill maintain this settlement as essential to the na tionality of our party, and the integrity of the Un ion. . ~ , 9. Believing the limits ofottrUnion, extending lw tween oceans from the British Possessions to the Mexican Republic, arc already large qnvouch for (tfl the purposes'of national prosperity cn-l power, we - are utterly opposed to all further acquisitions of ter ritory whatever, whether bought with tin treasure of the country or the blood other people. 10. Regnrd tlie public lands ns the joint, and eo. mon property of the> several States, nnd holding thin partial appropriations, either of them or th ir fro ceeds, to particular States for genera’ or specified objects, are unwise and unjust to the other members of the . Confederacy, we are in favor of a just and equal distribution of said lands or the proceeds among all the States. 11. With the view of carrying out the principles hereinbefore enunciated, and for the purpose of se lecting men for whom we can more cheerfully cast our suffrages at the approaching presidential elec tion, than for either of the present nominees—men, too, whose services in the recent great struggle in volving the permanence of the Government, are a guaranty of the fidelity to the Constitution and the Union, nnd whose position is known to accord with the above declaration of principles, nnd whose pa triotism knows no North, no South, no Esßt, no West—we hereby nominate DANIEL WFBSTKR, of Massachusetts, for the office of President, and CHARLES J.

Robbery and Arrcrt of Rob bers. ‘I ho Macon (Gn.) Citizen of the 16th inst. fc*ys: “On ‘1 ut'sday night last the dwell ing of an old gentleman of the name of Jack son, living in Monroe Cos., near tho county line of Bike, Was entered by live robbers, who after having secured Jackson and his wife proceeded to search tho house for money’ vvliich they soon obtained to the amount of near 87000 in silver, with which they decamp ed. Mr. Jackson immediately offered are ward of S2OOO for the recovery of the money and 500 to, , oof to convict, ween active pur suit • idt by the citizens of Bartlesville r -n ri i Dy,’which we are happy to learn has it“'ll . successful. The pursuing j ty came up with two or three of the rob bets near Newnan, Coweta Cos. and captur ed them. On being searched, over 91000 of Jackson’s money was found upon them and a full assortment of house and lock breaking implimeiits, weapons, &c. taken from their saddle-bags, The ptisoners were, brought down the Railroad on 1 hursdny and commit ted, and it is said that one of them is no less a personage than Dr. Roberts, the notorious robber who was convicted in Hancock C'o. f a few years ago, and sent to the Penitentiary for similar offences. It will be recollected by many that Dr. Roberts was arrested in Henry Cos. Ala., opposite Fort Gaines, Ga.; and that his copartner in iniquity was then and there killed in his attempt to escape.— He is doubtless a consumate scoundtel that ought never to have been pardoned out of the Penitentiary by Gov. Towns. The Impending Fall of tlic Turkish Empire. We have been favored by a Liverpool mer chant w ith the following extract of n letter just reqeved from a correspondent long resi dent in the Levant, “Constantinople has recently been the scene of very many extensive and destructive conflagations —no less than eight in the same number of days—by which property to the amount of 450 million of piasters is said to have been destroyed. The cause of these ter rible fires, which entail ruin to thousands, is undoubtedly discontent at the mal-administra. lion and extravagance of the government.— A change in the ministry is annonneed, but by no means a satisfactory oue, as it consists in men of the same opinions as those set aside; and it seems very questionable if some more serious means be not ere long resorted to by the suffering people. Surely those hitherto put in force can but tend to inerese their misery and ruin. Otto man rule is fast draw ing to a close in Europe; and, unfited as they are to adopt the new or der of things, it is high time they were set aside together. The question seems alone to be, who are to replace them in the possession of their splendid country ? but this fear to their removal cannot much longer continue to prevail. The Greeks, I fancy, will not be tolerated by civilized Europe, looking to their incapacity to govern, exemplified by a quar ter of a century of flagrant misrule. Who then, is to come? This is considered to be of little moment, seeing that a change can be but for the better; still European jealousies will be put in motion.—JVows Verrons. “The French are peremptory in their de mand for immediate satisfaction on seventeen different subjects. -With the fchnrlemagne screw liner on the Bosphorus to back them at Tripoli, the French Admiral, La fcusse, gave the Pafehn short time to reflect; and had satisfaction or threatened to bombard the place; and tho French Admiral, La Sussc,is supposed to have proceeded for the Dardanel les.

On the other hand, we have been in formed of several instances, by gentlemen from the interior, in which goods from this city had been received in advance of goods shipped some time previous by the Charles ton route. This fact is highly gratifying, and must tend greatly to increase the business of our Port—to give us the transit business and trade of those sections of our own and ad joining States, whose local position is reach ed bj’ our rapidly extending sj’stem of railroad communication.— Sar.

He found, however, he could not move, having fractared his thigh- Casting his eyes around he discovered that the cellar in which he lay was of immense size nnd admirably provided with casks of wine placed in order. He immediately ordered one of his men to come down and See what they contained, and it was found that they war* filled with the very finest wines of France nnd Spain. This result consoled him somewhat for his accident, as he could not doubt hi* sot tune was made. An inquiry into the mat ter has proved that this cellar formei ly belong ed to a small house culled the Hendesvous is Chaste, which the prince de Conde had caw ed to lie built, close to his property of La v * retina,
