Tn. elegant new ship Stonington, Captain
Raw, which departed from this port on the
18th inst. on whaling voyage, Is owned By
company of merchants of this city and
Stopington. We most ardently wish them
good fortune. A new sPIrt OF sntsrprizs IN
hi, business has within short period, arr
sen among our citizens; the complete success
Of which remains to be proved, although the
prospec. is favorable. Probably no port in
The United States combines greater advanta-
ses for the whaling business than this. We
build good ships, our seamen are bold and
hardy; our merchants economical and saga
cious. mechanics industriou. and skiitul; our
wb,rye. and stores are remarkably convent
emf and rents very low. We should be
Tlad TO see some OF the good citizens OF Nam
iycket. who have successfully Combatted the
Numerous difficulties of their locality, come
and psrlake Of our superior advantages. We
have many additional Inducements to the
foregoing, for AL emigration 10 this place.
Our schools are of the first order, our health
no,iyalleJ, manners plain, markets plentiful
and cheap; and strangers OF merit are here
always received with remarkable cordially.

pREADFUL SLAUGHTER OF THE SOUR
RELs.
a corps Of sharp shooters, consisting o.
40 men and youth, organized into two
equal bodies, under captains Pierpont and
Daniels, of this village, on Wednesday
last, sailed forth upon the above species
ofrermin, who had previously infested
our 6slds and grauaries, and whose an
noyauee had excited an indignation suf-
fcient to call forth declaration OF ex-
termination. The result OF Wednesdays
campaign. in consequence of the unfavor-
sbleness of the weater, afforded but lit
tls cause for congratulatien. On Thurs
day, however, the attack was renewed
with redoubled visor, and the result of
both days exceeded the expectations Of
ell. The number OF slain brought to head
quarters, and counted, was 1861, and
there were said to be seyersal hundred
more. which were not brought forward in
season to be counted. Thus in the short
space OF rs hours, was a numerous and
destructive foe nearly annihiased by a
handful OF our valiant and entsrpriSing
sharp.shcoters.
