FOR THE wA7cHMAY.

Mr.. WILsoN--I find that my name has been in
troduced into your paper IN very unJuStfab'e
manner and in consequence, claim the privilege OF
explaining, which think you will not, and am sure
you ought not to refuse.
The writer under the name of Calm Observer
has asserted without any just grounds Tor such an
assertion, that lcen Mr.. Rodney cas elected, Mr..
Victor Dn Pont endearored, bit in cain, to bring
ouer some of the members from Nee Castle Coan-
tn to join him in supporting the member of Con
eress against yNr. Rodney.
When Mr. Rodney elected senator at the
session Of l822-passing strange, but nevertheless
very true-some of our ultra Democrats wished to
put over the head Of Mr.. Rodney very respectable
Federalist from Kent, might have then expressed
the opnon that if such was the course contrary to
nv expectations | would prefer another tederalst
from New Castle; but the assertion that ever used
my influence to deprive MIR, Rodney OF vote at
any election, or on any occasion, is not founded in
fact.
When Mr.. Rodney was elected to Congress in
1.-The fall Of 1890, voted with many others who
stand high in the republican ranks what was then
called the Manufacturers Democratic ticket, for
! Congress, Messrs Rodney and Nj Lane, and did
so, because knew their eminent talents would do
honor 10 our state and preserve the high character
of Delaware in the councils oil the unIon IL is the
pride of our state to have been generally represent
ed in Congress by men Of first rate talents, and so
long as NV vote can prevent any other from going
There i; shall be so given. That have on that oc'
casion committed the objectionable sin in the eyes
of some, of voting for iederallst am ready To
confess but not to repent ! know that have had
since to encounter the rage OF some few atras and
the barking of their clrs, bu: have not the least
objection to its being fully known and understood

FOR 9HE VA TcHMAN.

The Republican Citizens Of the State, are eau.
TONED against hasty admission Of the unbound
ed and malignant assertions made in late
numbers Of the Waterman, by anonymous writer's,
charging several individuals OF the party with con-
spiracy and treason. The day OF account rs not lar
distant, and the settlement will be any thing but
pheasant to those who believe that falsehood becomes
truth by repetition that facts cannqt be proved.
The non election OF Senator's Will bettraced to its
true cause, the obstinate adherence Of a certain
lot men to certain individual, WHICH individual yo-
ted fifteen times-ior himself. The friends OF Mr..
Read, undoubtedly preferred him, and with good
reason,--but they relnquished him. and offered tc
support any other candidate but Doctor Black.-No
party zeal can make up for The deficiency o. official
fitness, and as to integrity tue oiHcyousntss o.
friends may draw that into question, which liberia
minded enemy might not otherHle condescend tt
discuss. Personality is not argument, nor Is abuse
proof The people will require both argvment ant
proof and they shall have BOTH before they censui,
men for believing that all Repubhcanism centres il
supporting country Physician, or making poo
Senator out OF tolerable Doctor. '

Capt. Hamor of the Tamworth, who arrived last
evening, lett Cadz on the 10th Of March. News was
received that $4,000 French troops had entered
Spain. The King and Cortes had not yet arrived
at Seville from Madrid, but were hourly expected.
Weare sorry to learn that there was no truth in
the rumour that capt. Kearney had decoyed mum.
Der OF the pirates within his grasp. The schr.
Cleaner, which arrived yesterday from n. Orleans,
was boarded off Key West on the 10th inst. by a
boat from the sloop Of war Peacock, Com. Porter,
then at that place, with several Of the squadron and
brought letters from the officers.
We have seen letter, written on board the Decoy,
capt kearney dated off HAVANA st inst. giving
sketch of her cruize. Speaking of the occurrence
at Porto Rico, the writer says it mere accident
that others did not meet the fate of the lamented
Lieut.. Cooke, as it was understood the fort had
prepared hot shot to be made use Of in case other
vessels attempted to enter the port The Decoy
had secured the south coasts OF St Domingo and
Cuba. OFF Cape Antonio, she boarded the Br. frgate
Tanner, and was informed ofthe particulars of the
capture of the La Cata pIraca schr. by the Grecian
cutter The La Gaia was 90 TONS with crew of
90 men-the G. pursued her until they both ran
laground within gun shot. The pirate returned her
fire with great spirit for time under the bloody
flag, "a red flag with deaths head) when she
suddenly blew up supposed from accident, and des-
royed number OF their gang. The survivors
swan ashore, when they were met by the men OF
the boais Of the Hyperion who had landed in tire
to meet them on the beach as they came out of the
water, where they were cut down, and with the ex.
ception ofa few, put 10 death. The commander Of
the rigate present in his gig, and had to revoke
an order he had given, TO show no quarters, the
carnage being so great as to excite commiseraton,
even for pirates.

A circumstance occurred on Sunday
morning last, at New Hope, few miles
from this place, of peculiarly distress
sing nature. Mrs. Kirkland, the wife of
hEr. James Kirkland, with others had
made application to be baptised, and that
morning was appointed for its admins
tration. The ordinance was first perfor-
med on Mrs kirkland, and it was obser-
we'd by the Minister, as well as by those
on the shore, that, as he was about lay
ing her in the water, her head fell for
ward ; after being raised, she made
but one or two gasps, and expired
1t appears that she had fainting fit in
the morning; but the immediate cause
Of her death cannot be accounted for.
Bythis sudden dispensation ofProvidence
a husband has been bereaved of his So
lace, and two infant children of mo-
theirs care. Mrs. Kirkland was about
IS years ofage.

From The Frederick Republican Gazette.
We at one time fattered ourselves
with the hope that the present year
would terminate without those ravages
of disease which prevailed in places
which were before considered as healthy
as any in the United States. Butwe are
sorry to say, that from accounts lately
received, there is good reason to fear
that the approaching fall season will be
as sickly as in times past. We have
heard Of one family living on Monococy,
where there are nine sick, and persons
who reside in other parts of the country
have informed us that sickness begins
to prevail.
Since writing the above remarks, we
have been informed that many have
been attacked with sickness in this place.
Here we have always beenmore healthy
than the people of the surrounding coun-
try; and persons from the country came
last year to Frederick toreside during
the sickly season.

AMHERST, ". III. August ..

The following remarkable event oc-
CURED at Bedford, on Thursday of last
week. A young girl, of about IA years
ofage, was assisting in the taking away a
load of grain in the sheaf upon scaffold
on the great beams Of the barn, when she
accidentally fell from the scaiold, de-
scent Of or feet, pn to a stake of the
cart which had just been unloaded. -
The stake entered her body, passed up
the rectum, and came out of the left
side near the breast, so that she was
completely transhxed upon il. The
stake was so attached to others by the
rave of the cart, as that it could not be
removed until the Others were broken
of, when it was forced from its socket
in the cart, and the girl carried out of
the barn before it could be extricated
from her. During all which time the
girl held on by the top of the stake which
had passed through her side, sufficient
for her to take hold ofwith both hands,
six or seven inches at least. A more
distressing situation, cannot easily be
imagined. The length of the stake
which passed into her body measured
full 81 inches--and in circumference
was inches at the largest, and at least
8 inches in the smallest part of it. And
what is equally remarkable, the girl is
doing very well, and likely speedily
to recover and has apparently un-
dergone less suffering than could pos
sibly be conceived of in such case.

described already. The monster APP
preached the boat in direct line, and
fears were entertained by the passengers
for their personal safety. On his com
ing along side, however, like quiet CT
tizen ofthe deep, he gently sunk under
the water, and rose ON the. other side,
little dreaming of the dismay and con-
sternation that he had excited above.

.Ertract Of q letter to the Post-.Mastcp u,
this place, dated
Post Office, Chiliicothe, Ohio, 4th Aug 1928.
IL now have the satisfac ton of stating
TO you, that John Reese, the notorious
mail robber is in safe keeping in Ken
lucky. He went on a few days since
by way of Cincinnati, to Louisville, Ky.
and there took the stage for Lexington,
by the name Of ID. Hanover, but owing
to their. being other passengers in the
stage, he had no opportunity of effect
ing his v,llanious purposes until he left
Lexington. On his way to Maysyille,
there being no passengers in the stage
with him, he Immediately commenced
by cutting the Eastern bags, and taking
out some packages, and when the stage
stopped eight miles this side of Licking
ton, he went into corn field, rifled the
letters of their contents, and left them:
They were soon discovered and pursuit
made after Reese. He was taken near
West Union, in Ohio, taken back to
Kentucky, and is now safely lodged in
j l. l hope he will find BgTds of a
different feather in Kentucky from those
of Ohio. No effort of the citizens of
Ohio could bring the scoundrel to Jus
tice, being always discharged by the
District Judge, and that too, in the face
Of testimony, that all others thought
4 kcient to convict him."
