Melancholy Casuulty.-lt is painful to
state, that during the heavy blow on
Saturday forenoon, while the boat from
the Navy Yard, usually employed in
the ordinary transportation Of that es-
adjustment, was engaged in conveying
across the river small engine which
had been purchased for the use of one
of the frigates, she was capsized be-
tween Ferry Point and Portsmouth, by
a sudden flaw Of wind, and four out of
the Ave men attached to her were
drowned, before assistance could get to
them. The fifth, named Smith, saved
himself by clinging to the mast, and

OF conversations in the office Of the .7merlcan
Farmer; 29tk March.
Mr.. II. Watson, Of Connecticut, on
a visit to Maryland to purchase Jack
asses and Jennets, bought $500 worth
on the Eastern Shore Of Maryland; he
gave $500 for the very fine Jack Of DR..
Gordon's, which took the La Fayette
prize at the last Cattle show at the
Maryland tavern. This fine imported
animal would not have there brought,
at public auction, amongst the farmers
of Maryland, Sloo-yet Mr.. Watson
has good notion of what he is about.
Mr.. w. says, that in Connecticut, the
calculation is to winter ten sheep on
one ton Of baylor COW, from ton
10 ton and half-that the best meri-
no focks give about 50 per head clear
profit, besides the increase-that they
average in the dirt from Al to lbs. per
head-that their good pasture lands
will carry five sheep to the acre. MIR.

the exclusion of horses.
Norfolk, .3pra 4.-During the height
Of the gale on Saturday night about
10 o'clock, and while the rain was fall
ing pretty rapidly, the citizens were
seriously alarmed by the cry of fire,
which happily, for the safety of the
town, took place in a detached old
warehouse on the end of Calverts
wharf, adjoining the lumber yard of
Captain George l. Ham, and the ship
yard Of Mr.. Isaac Talbot. The ware
house contained about 80 barrels of
stone lime and so bundles hay, the pro-
perry Of Capt. Ham, which with the
house, were entirely consumed-sup-
posed value or 500 dollars. The
fire originated from the overflow of
the tide communicating with the lime.
Our engines on this occasion, not
outstanding the severity of the wea-
Their, displayed their wonted alacrity
and devotion to duty. All of them re-
paired promptly to the scene. But
the great height Of the tide rendering
it impossible to get to the building,
without endangering the safety of the
engines and the lives Of the men from
exposure in the water, and no danger
being apprehended to any other build
ings, the Wardens would not permit
the Phemr and Franklin to proceed
Capt. Garrison Of the Union, however,
not receiving the order, pushed on
through the water, and hating his en-.
CINE at the custom house, waded across
with his hose and taking his station on
the new ship, uilding in MIR. Talbot's
yard, effecmally secured her from the
danger to which she was evidently ex-
posed. Beacon.

Governor Troup and his party en-
deavoured for some time to fix the
odium Of the death of M'lntosh up
on white men, and particularly upon
John Crowell, the U. S. agent. From the
following certificate which has been
signed by the Chiefs and head men of
the Creek nation, il will be perceived
that the charge is entirely without foun-
dation, and that the Indians were self
moved in every stage of the business.
"We, the undersigned, Chiefs and
Head Men of the Greek Nation, do GER
tify and declare, That we determined
of our own free will and accord TO put
to death the Chief M'Intosh, and that
neither the Agent, John Crowell, or a.
ny other white man were the instigators
or abettors, nor do we know or believe
that he the Agent knew that we had a.
ny such design; nor did we commune
cate it TO any but a few old and head
men. We determined 10 put him to
death for violation Of law, first sane
