TsNIIE undersigned, your humble petitioner,
4 states, that on the twenty-second day OF
December last, in the county aforesaid, she
was married to one Matthew G. BowleS, hoping
and fondly expecting happiness from their
matrimonial connection. But to her unutter-
able chagrin, the said Bowles, since their in
termarriage as aforesaid, has been wasting and
squandering the property that he acquired
by his intermarriage with your petitioners and
he has taken from her, her bed, and lett her
destitute of property, and in necessitous cir
cumstances, and threatens to take from her
what every little property she has, or may
have, and affirms that he married your petit
toner for her property alone. Your petition
er further observes, that at the time Of her
ntermarriage as aforesaid, she was in regard
to property capable of living comfortably, and
that he was then worth nothing. She says he
has now left her, and she knows not where
he is. She also states, that at the aforesid time
of her intermarriage with the said Bowles, he,
said Bowles, had then another wife living in
Kentucky. Your petitioner therefore humbly
prays this honorable court to decree her a
divorce from the bands of matrimony, entered
into as aforesaid, with the said Bowles; and
also make what other or further order or de-
cree may seem meet in the premises, And
your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever
pray. her

MASSACHUSETTS SCENERY.
Thy son, O New-England! though Wandering
afar
From the scenes that affection once lit with
smile,
Still recalls the gay vision when chiidhood's
young star
Gould lead to enjoyment and sorrow begue.
And memory yet rambles DER life's reckless
dawn,
When hope smiled SO lovely and earth seemed
so true,
When thought, fond dcceiver, babe welcome
the morn, !
That impaired to bliss its ccrulean hue.
Then careless, to lingerin ve'snative bowers
Where Spring, pleasures handmade, rejoiced
DER the scene,
Or when sober Autumn succeeded the flowers,
Tostray while contentment lent zest ever keen.
Where BRocKLINE' half hid in the wood
land appears,
Whose white steeple rises in pride from the
grove;
Whose villas delight, and secluson endears,
roamed when this heart beat to pleasure and
love.
And sweet, lovely village! thy vallies to me,
And dear are thy hills where hailed the first
sun,
When aschool-boy romantic, from apathy free,
Proposed in thy orchard and bathed in thyrun
Afar, the gay hamlets, of plenty are found,
Though nameless in pomp, to simplicity dear
And queen of the villas besprinkled around,
See BOSTON, thy pride, o New-England ap-
pear.
o dear is the land of my fathers, and long
Recollection shall stray DER the mountain and
plain,
Though far, far away, yet in story and song
Shall the minstrel return to thy bowers again.
For thy son, o New.Englsnd! now wandering
afar
From the scenes that affection once lit with a
smile,
ftill recalls the gay vision when childhood's
young star
Gould lead to enjoyment, and sorrow beguile.

We have been favored with a letter from
gentleman who is with Governor Cass,
which contains important information. 1t is
dated Saul of St. Mary, June I7th, 1920
"A treaty of session, at this place. was
yesterday concluded by the governor, with
some of the chiefs Of the Chippewa nation.
The absolute necessity of this cession,. to
the preservation OF peace and friendship with
the upper nations, renders il highly impor-
tant and advantageous 10 our government.
The facilities which this point has al
ways afforded TO men not well disposed to-.
wards the American government, to enter its
territory, and disturb its tranquility, by
poisoning the minds of the Indians with in
sidious counsels, and with presents, have
been too long and advantageousy made use
Of By establishing post at this place,
these facilities are entirely destroyed. This
point may be considered the true key to the
upper country. We shall guard the only
channel of muncation-protect our ira
ders-giye confidence TO those sayages ia.
vorahly disposed, and ih.imiGate and chas-
tise those men who have heretofore not been
affected by distant force. For these rea-
sons. the Saul of ST. Mary must be consider
cd station quite as important as any outpost
now established, and ii is presumed govern
| ment will soon realize every advantage ex-
pected from the occupation of the position.
The lands around the Saul, appear to be
susceptible of cultivation. think the soil
we'll adapted to wheat and corn.
The white fish taken at these rapids are
delicious. Great quantities are caught dai.
ly-they are the chief fool of the inhabi-
tants.
News was received yesterday of a peace
having been concluded between the Sioux
and Chippewa nations. 1t is hoped this in
formation is correct.
We shall leave the Saut this afternoon
for Fon du Lac, at which place we may ex-
pect TO arrive in about | s or 90 days

The end OF his anguish is near,
Thrice welcome the death of disgrace.
Chiefs and fathers / shed me no tear,
Ny sorrows speak not from the eye,
But the woes Of ,Al.Cela's lone bier
Press darkly and heavily here.
Let the fame of your wrath rise high,

Come light up the slow fire of death,
Till it curl round the bursting vein,
And the song OF Wanza's last breath,

He bowed his lofty head in grief,
But not the grief of death or fear
For neither ever entered there.

The Hammock chieftan proudly sung:
"Ghost Of my sires the theme prolong,
IT'S Wanza's last triumphant song,
Who bid the trump of battle sound,
When blood of thousands dyed the ground
Who bid the strife of battle cease,

GENERAL RAMIREZ pRivATEER.

GENERAL RAMIREZ PRiyATEER.
The examination of the crew of the Gene
raj Ramirez, by the district attorney, before
the mayor, commenced on Monday last, and
was concluded yesterday about two o'clock
P. M. We believe they are nearly all Anne
ricans, except two or three-one is an Eng
lishman, by the name of Bradshaw the o.
ther; are Spaniards-at least they speak the
language duenty Those who were examin-
ed agreed nearly in the same relation. 1t
appears that they have never committed any
enormities. The property captured was
chiefly slaves; and were taken from Portu-
guese and Spanish vessels. and American
vessels under Spanish and Portuguese colors.
1t is fact, however, after the loss of the Ar.
roganta, that the Ramirez crulsed without a
regular commission, for which they are liable.
They are also amenable to the late law of
congress, entitled 'an act to protect the COM
nerce of the United States, and punish the
crime OF piracy" Thos. D. Nicholson, a
native of Pennsylvania, was sworn, and sta
ted, that he shipped in Baltimore, on the
9th December, 1919, on board the Venezue-
Ian hermaphrodite armed brig Columbia,
commanded by Captain Me;calf, as carpen.
ter. bound to the Oronoko, OF Margaretta-
says the brig bad six guns in her hold, and
one pivot gun on deck, small arms and cut
lasses. with munitions thirty eight men, Of
6cers and passengers on board, with no Car.
