MIR. SMITH Among the names of the delegates to
the Harrisburg Convention from this State, observ-
cd that Of Gideon Wells. Is this gentleman the ed-
tor of the Hartford Times For the honour of the
State hope not; although have been credibIy in
formed that such is the fact. The late convention at
Harrisburg consider as Of the most important
meetings of the kind that has convened in our country
since the revolution -; related to question the most
deeply interesting that has agitated the public
mind since we have been an Independent people, Let
any person acquaint himself with the high toned feel
ngs of the Southrons in relation the question under
consideration, and he will agree with me that il is
of small moment. Already have indirect threats of
a severance Of the Union been thrown out by the
highest officers and most influential individuals in
Virginia and South Carolina. The Hartford Conven-
ton has, by Southern writers, been thrown entirely
into the back ground, in comparison with the Harris
burg Convention, and the treaehery which sup
posed have actuated members has been entirely
forgotten before the more important business which
called a Convention at Harrisburg. But enough Of
this-no of sound mind will, for moment doubt
the immense importance which is attached the ques-
ton which debated at Harrisburg The delegates
ought them Of COURSE to have been men of first rate
character-men Of talents and experience capable Of
honourably ably representing the States from which

BLOODY AFFAIR.

The New Orleans ,4rguS gives the par
tlculars of the late bloody battle fought on
the 18th September, on a sand beach above
Natchez, on the Mississippi side Of the
river, as narrated by Samuel L. Wells, one
OF the party. A challenge was given by
DIR. Maddox TO Mr.. Wells, on the 18th,
who appointed the 18th for the combat
They met exchanged two shots without
effect, and made friends. Mr.. Wells had
Maj. M'Whorten for his second, and DR..
Quincy for his surgeon: DR.. Maddox had
Col. Crane for his friend, and Dir. Denny
as his surgeon. Most of the party were
from Red River. The other friends of
both parties were stationed at a distance
from the arena. After the meeting, DR..
Maddox and his friends invited Mr.. Wells
and his friends to repair to the station
where his other friends were to take re-
treshment On the way they met Gen. Gu
ney, and two others of Mr.. WIS friends.
Gen. Z. inquired how the affair had been
settled, and was informed by Wells. The
General then turned to Col. Crane, and OBJ
served to him that there was difference
between them, which they had better re-
turn to the field and settle as the other had
been. DIR. Quincy and Mr. Wells interiors;
ed, and pointed out the improperly of the
measure, in which the General acquiesced.
and turned to leave Crane; but the latter,
without saying one word, fired pistol he
held in his hand, at the General, but with
out effect. Crane then drew another pistol
from his belt, fired, and shot the General
IN the thigh, who survived the wound onls
Is minutes; but when falling, drew his pis-
tol, and fired it after he had fallen to the
ground. 1t appeared by the statements of
Doctors Hunt and Denny, that Crane had
previously declared, that if Gen. C. came
on the ground he would kill him, and acct
dent alone prevented DIR. Hunt from giving
the General notice Of the intention. On
seeing Gen. c. fall, Mr.. Bowie drew his
pistol, and Crane having drawn his third
pistol, both exchanged shots without effect.

INCREDIBLE STORY.
To give you an idea of the long time
this poison retains its property, | shall re-
late curious, but we'll authenticated, Sc,
ries of facts which took place in central
district of the state of Pennsylvania, some
twelve or fifteen years ago. A farmer was
so slightly bit through the boot by rattle
snake as he was walking to view his rlpen-
ing corn-felds, that the pain felt was
thought by him to have been from the
scratch OF thorn, not having seen or
heard the reptile. Upon his return home'
he felt ON sudden, violently sick, at stom-
ach, vomited with great pain, and died IN
few hours. Twelve months after this, the
eldest son, who. had taken his fathers
boots put them on, and went to church at
some distance. On his going to bed that
night, whilst drawing off his boots, he ielt
slightly scratched ON the leg, but merely
mentioned it to his wife, and rubbed the
place with his hand In few hours how
ever, he was awakened by violent pam,
complained of general giddiness, tainted
frequently, and expired before any succour
could be applied with success; the cause
of his illness, also, being quite mystery.
In the course of time his effects were sold,
and second brother through iilal aitec-
ton, purchased the boots, and, if remem-
Der rightly, put them on about two years
aiter. AS he drew them of, he felt a
scratch, and complained of it, when the
widowed sister, being present. recollected
that the same pain had been felt 10y her
husband on the like occasion; the youth
suffered and died in the same way that his
father and brother had before him. These
repeated and similar deaths being rumor-
ed in the country, medical gentleman
called upon the friends of the deceased to
enquire into the particulars, and at once
pronounced their deaths to have been oc-
casioned by venom. The boots that had
been the cause of complaint, were brought
! to him, when lie cut one of them open
with care, and discovered the extreme
point of the fang of "A rattlesnake issuing
from the leather, and assured the people
that this had done all the mlchief. To
prove this satisfactorily, he scratched with
it the nose of dog, and the dog died in a
few hours, from the poisonous effect it was
still able to convey. In continuation OF
these facts | have been told, by native
Americans, that arrows, dipt in rattlesnake
venom, would carry death for ages after.

MECHANICAL POWER.

Mr.. Robert Owen calculates that two humid
red arms, with machines now manufacture as
much cotton as twenty millions of arms were
able to manufacture without machines forty
years ago; and that the cotton now manufac.
tured III the course of one year, in Great
Britain, would require without machines. six.
teen millions of workmen with simple wheels
He calculates further, that the Quantity Of
manufactures Of all sorts produced by British
workmen with the aid of machines is SO great.
that it would require, without the assistance nj
machinery, the labor of four hundred millions
of workmen
In the wool manufacture, machines possess
an eminent advantage over common wheels
The yarn on thirty or thirty-six spindles is all
equally twisted and drawn to the same decree
OF ineness. The most dexterous spinners can.
not twist so equally and so gently twenty slips
Of yarn from wool of the same quality. as a
machine can do twenty thousand.
At one of the cotton mills in Manchest or
yarn has been spun so fine as to REQUIRE $50
hanks to weigh one pound avoirdupois. The
permeter OF the common reel being one ward
and half, so threads or revolutions would
measure 10 yards; and one hank seven times
as much, or $40 yards, which multiplied by
800, gives 294 900 yards, or I67 miles and a
fraction.
A steam-engne of the ordinary pressure and
construction, with cylinder Of thirty inches
in diameter, will perform the work of forty
horses and, as it may be made to act without
intermission, while horses will not work more
than eight hours in the day, it will do the work
of one hundred and twenty horses and as the
work of a horse is equal to that of five men. il
will perform as much as six hundred men can /.
while its whole expense is only equal to about
nan the number of horses for which it is sub
5tituted.
