SENA SAM OUTDONE.

Yesterday, on Spruce street wharf, the
gentlemen in the Oyster line were greatly
amused with an exhibition truly rational
but we are apprehensive that few of our
fashionables, would enjoy the singular
sight; and none perhaps would be willing
to adopt the same novel mode, Of raising
the wind.'-The gentleman alluded to-
whose name we sincerely regret we are
unable to lay before the public, for surely
he is as deserving Of being handed to after
ages, as he who swallowed broad-sword

CHARLESTON, Oct. 7.

The greet OUTLAW JOE, twho murdered
MIR. Ford two years since) and three of
his principal associates, have at length
met the fate they deserved. A party of
young gentlemen from Clarendon, under
the direction of Messrs. Moore and Nam
ming, having received information respect
ing the place of their encampment, CON
certed their measures so as to invite the
attack of these daring desperadoes. At
the moment when they were about to plum.
der river boat. they were surprised and
destroyed. Joe's head has been placed
on pole, near the mouth OF the Santee
Canal. Three fellows made their escape
but the pursuit is so vigorous, that they
will doubtless soon share the fate Of theil
associstes in crime.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.


Since the result of the Election in our|
Spwn state has been ascertained, the pub
liz mind has been directed towards that
of Pennsylvania. Much anxiety is e1-
Messed, and many bets have been made onI
~ issue. BY a statement in the Phila-
delphia Centinel of yesterday, the Demo-
cratic candidate, MIR. Shulze, has a majo-
rity of 24,452 votes. There are several
ceuntes yet to be heard from.
We are indebted TO the poteness of friend
