INTERESTING SKETCHES.

Extract of a letter from a Hhude Islam.
der, now residing in Virginia, to a
gentleman in this town, dated No
vember 18th, 1890.
yesterday returned from an in
teresting excursion of about three hun
dred and twenty miles over the noun
tains to the natural bridge, Monticello
and Montpelier. accompanied by my
friend, Mr.. -. We left here the
slst of October. and the next day ar
rived at Lynchburgh, a pleasant town
on James River; the next day We left
Lynchburgh, PASSED Mr.. Jefferson's
plantation in Bedford county, and as.
cended The stupeMous heights of the
Blue Ridge. 1t is in places like these,
that the mind is filed with impressions
of awful grandeur and sublimity- when
around us "Alps on Alps arise" and
yawning chasms and tremendous preci-
pieces open beneath US. The natural
bridge is one Of the greatest natural
curiosities in the world the dimen.
sions of which are as follow from the
water 10 the arch 1a2 feet; from the
water to the top of the arch 2I5 feet,
sc feet in breadth, and 80 in length.
A great number of names are inscrib.
ed on the bridge, among which is the
name of GEORGE WASHINGTON. As
We stand beneath the arch and gaze,
the scene is awfully and maiesticaIly
grand. This bridge compared with
which "all works Of human art are but
a mock" has very deservedly e,cited
the admiration of people on both sides
of the Atlantic and loudly proclaims
to the Atheist, the work of an al.
mighty hand;' in a word, we are in
deed filed with cave and delight" in
viewing this stupendcus fabric of Ma
ture. The following lines, composed
by gentleman of Philadelphia, ON vi
sitting the natural bridge, were written

Beneath this arch mortals admiring stand.-

SOMETHING LIKE PIRACY.


We publish the following statement OF
facts for The information of whom it may
concern.
Mr.. Broughton-Among the vessels left at
St. Johns (Porto Rico) Feb. 20. by the sch.
Albert, Capt. Bly,, was the schnr. Fancy,
Hayes, from Savannah, bound to North Ca
rolina, to sail for the United States 91st Fe-
buary.
In your paper Of the 23d ofFeb. you pub
lished on the authority of the captain Of the
sloop General Washington. who arrived at
Charleston from Havana the 18th Of Feb. a
report. stating, that Capt. Walter c. Hayes,
of the schnr. Fancy, OF Baltimore. had had
his vessel practically taken from him at
Cabbage-tree Island, by his mate named
Hezek,uh Lee, T. t1vo men, named King and
M'Leod; that. they put him (Hayes) and
two other men into an open boat and set
them a-drift. This is the substance Of the
account.
From what can learn from capt. Bly,, and
from other circumstances, there IS no doubt
that the reputed Capt. Hayes. of the schnr.
Fancy, left at ST Johns las stated above,
is, in fact, Hezek,ah Lee. In every instance
Of his coming Ashore at St. Johns. he was
accompanied by two men, with whom he ap-
peared always to be deeply engaged in
kind of secret conversation, which could
not fail to attract observation, and frequently
expressed wish to sell his vessel, that he
might be enabled to purchase small piece
of land aud settle himself for the balance OF
his life.
Anoh circumstance is worthy OF remark
as aHord,ng corroborative proof OF this mans
real name and character: il is this he
gave Capt. Bly, two letters 10 bring home
with him, to be forwarded to Savannah, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Levis Casuell, of that city
this letter being written on thin paper, the
writing in some places quite legible on the
reverse side. and the signature II. Lee is
plainly discernible.
Are any other circumstances necessary to
establish the fact, that the above schooner is
the one alluded to in the Charleston account
and that the reputed Capt. Hayes. is the pi-
rate Lee Capt. Bly, and a gentleman who
came passenger with him, both represent
him as man about 80 or So years of age,
tolelably we'll made, about feet 10 inches
high, with very rec face.

fRIAL FOR MURDER.

1htAI FOh mohbSn'
On Thursday, before the Sup enc judi
cial Court, holden by Chiel Justice Parker,
Judge Jackson and Judge Pullman, willard
L. Martin was tried on an Indictment 'or
the murder of his wife, the 3lst Disc. last.
The leading facts proved aga INST the accus-
ed were, That on the evening previous 10
the death OF his wife, the prisoner came
home at late hour, intoxicated; quarre'i'
ing was soon heard betw cen him and his
wife, complaints of ill-treatment were Ut
tered by her, and fall as of body on the
floor, was also heard. The wife lmmedi-
ately fed into an adjoining apartment OF Inc
house, occupied by another family; y COM
planned that her husband had Knocked her
down fat on the floor, so that berlhead struck
and was injured. This was not denied by
him; hut be remarked she had struck him
with pair of tongs an he Showed some
uarks of smut upon his face. She asserted
and il was not contradicted by him, that he
first knocked her down. There were other
circumstances proven, as that Inc quarrel
ling continued all night, and that ne locked
her GU. OF bis room for considerable time.
On the morning after, very early, she was
taken in commissions, and so continued till
six o'clock in the evening OF the next day
v hen she died. The deceased was in We
ry advanced state of pregnancy, and after
her death her body was examined, and
considerable appearance Of recent bruIse
was discovered just above her right hip
She had always before been considered a
strong healthy woman, and never subject
to fits; but had complained OF a violen: head
ache the day previous. Medical gentle
men of eminence gave it as their opinion,
that the obvious probable causes OF the con-
vuisions were the injuries she received
The trial occupied the whole day; at seven
o'clock in the evening the jury returned
verdict ot--Not Guilty Of murder, but Gull
ty OF Manslaughter.
