TO lie Editors Of the Pheni.r Gazette.

Gentlemen: The sapient editor ofthe Alex
andria Herald, has condescended to give the
public his sage opinion of what ought to be
the course of the President of the U. States,
towards that hardened and long practced Of
fender. Betsey Ware, WIDOWS by the sentence
of the Court, to have been executed for Bur
o.,,ry. am no advocate for severe punish
ments, but there are characters on whom leni-
~ is thrown away. 1t would have been dis
Greet in the editor of the Herald to have in
formed himself of the character of the person
whose champion he appears, before he ven
tured his advice to the Chief Magistrate of the
Country. Ifhe had inquired, he would have
been informed, that previous to the burgla-
rious act for which she was sentenced to be
hung, she had been not only an almost con-
slant tenant of the Work House for former
misdeeds, but she has been twice before con-
victed before the Circuit Court OF felony, and
punished. That within ten days after the
BURGLARY for which she was sentenced to be
hung, she broke into the dwelling house OF the
Postmaster of this place, and stole sundry ar
ticles belonging to his family. For this last
offence she has been found guilty, and the
sentence of the law suspended by the Court.
This is the person for whom the learned edi-
tor of the Herald seems to have such tender
feeling. lie has undertaken to inform the
public that she now borders on insanity
Does the editor know Betsey Ware If he did
he never could venture to state she was bor-
dering on any other insanity than that which
belongs to all the wicked and dcpravcd. He
saws she ought not to be executed for the Of
fence of burglary because she has been guilty
of stealing few articles which would not "a
mount in value to twenty dollars, and because
s.the last President has let loose uion Society
the most hideous monsters that ever breath
cd" Does the value of the article stolen con-
stitute the only evidence of the depraved
state of the heart of this offender She has
been guilty of entering in the dead hour OF
the night dwelling house where the occupi-
ers were unconscious of their situation, and
taking therefrom their property. The offence
of Burglary has been considered among the
creates. crimes against the peace and safety
Of society, and which previous to the year
1895 was punished in Virginia with death,
and is now punished in that State by confne-
ment in the Penitentiary of not less than five
nor more than ten years. The other reason
for not executing this offender is, that the
former President has pardoned monsters, or
persons of worse character. If this offender
does deserve the punishment affixed to the
crime, 1 would ask our Lycurgus whether it is
good reason for sending her forth upon So
cety to continue her depredations, that others
who ought to have been hung, have been par
doned. am sure he will stand alone in this
opinion. BACCARlA.

In one Of our Caracas papers, receiv.
ed by the Duplicate from La Guayra
we find the outlines Of the plan of an
association which has been recently
formed in London, with capital of one
million, three hundred thousand pounds
sterling, entitled the "Colombian asso.
citation for agricultural and other pur.
poses" From this document we ex-
tract the following particulars:-A.
though the climate and soil of Colon
bia is auspicious to the growth of co.
Goa, coffee, cotton, indigo, sugar, rice
maize, tobacco, wheat and European
grains, the city of Caracas alone i'm.
ports annually forty thousand barrels
of flour from the United States for its
own consumption. TO remedy these
and other evils of similar character,
extraordinary privileges are proffered
to emigrants-sueh as the cession Of
lands, two-thirds in fee simple, and
and the other third at a price merely
nominal; exemption from military ser
vice, except for local defence; from du.
ties OIL all clothing imported for their
use; and for the space of six or ten
years from all direct contributions or
ecclesiastical tythes; the lands to be
disposed Of in small quantities, or at an
annual rent to suit the condition of the
emigrants; providing them with econo-
mical passages to Colombia; agents to
receive them on their landing, and to
impart the requisite information; sup
plying them with provis,o and mo-
ney when necessary; to enjoy perfect
federation with regard to religious
worship This republic, now in the
sixteenth year of independence, has al
ready turned its attention to the max
ing of roads; a survey is taken from La
Guayra to the Caracas, distance Of
fourteen miles, where it is contemplate
ed to form rail road. The only means
of conveyance at present used are mules
and the backs Of men and women. 1t
is likewise contemplated to establish
steam navigation in the waters and ri
vers, for which purpose this associa-
lion is making every practicable effort.

THE SEA HORSE.-The following
particulars in relation to the escape of
Mrs. Eberman when the Sea-horse
was suddenly upset in squall in the
Delaware Bay, we have from the most
authentic source, and can therefore
vouch for their accuracy. When the
vessel was upset, Mrs. Eberman, far
advanced in a state OF pregnacy, was
living sea-sick on her bed. In an in
slant she was cast out of her birth into
the cabin, into which the sea was pour
ing in torrents, through the window and
sky hght.-In moment she was, from
she knew not what cause, pitched from
her birth, and amidst midnight dark
ness, found herself laundering in the
wafer and assailed on all sides by
the drifting furniture. She heard no
sounds but those caused by the rushing
and dashing of the waters-she laid
noIu OF the side OF a birth into which,
buoyed as she was by the water, she
scrambled. 1t was afterwards ascer-
tanned that this was the Captains birth,
and fortunately it was few inches high
er than any other in the ship.
In this birth Mrs. Eberman sat
with her head against the deck, and up
to her neck in water. All was silent
and dark-her sensations were painful
and confused-she supposed the vessel
had sunk to the bottom OF the bay. In
this horrible situation, buried alive,
she grasped an orange, which was
floating in the cabin; she ate it, and it
greatly refreshed her. She now heard
a noise over her head, and with cane
which she had caught in the water, she
struck pcrpendicularly over her, against
the under side of the deck. She was
answered by voices; hope revived, she
breathed more freely, and her mind be-
came more alive to her actual situation.
She heard the Sound Of the axe, it
promised her deliverance, but it crea-
ted the most agonising apprehensions.
Her head was touching, was pressed
against the under side of the deck, and
there it must remain or be submerged
in water: every stroke ofthe axe, more
certainly assured her, that it fell direct
ly over her head these were among
her most agonized moments.
At length chip, about the length
of the axe, was taken out from the low
er side ofthe deck, and the light Of Hea-
ven again shed its blessed influence on
the suffering mortal beneath. With
the eagerness appertaining to so peril
Gus situation, Mrs. Eberman pushed
her hand, as far as it would 60, through
the aperture. Her husband, with all a
husbands anxiousness and love, was
on the outside of the vessel; who can
tell his feelings when the appearance
of her hand, assured him she was yet
sensibly alive-but his heart had
scarcely time to beat with joy, before
it was collapsed with horror The axe
of the workman was uplifted and about
to descend with its sharpest edge, upon
the hand ofhis wife-it would sever 1t
from her body-it was happily ares
ted before it gave the fatal blow. Let
us be brief--a saw was procured, hole
sufficiently large was made, and MRS.
Eberman was once again folded in the
arms of her husband, and restored to
the world.

that the General assembly of Rhode Island
runs upon wheels, and goes round the State
to accommodate customers as orderly as
pedlar's cart. 1t holds four sessions year,
one half of which is usually occupied in going
to, and the remainder in returning from, the

and sometimes four, different points in the
