A Letter from a member of Congress to the
editor of the Courier, says--"The members
from the South explicitly declare Tsince the
passage of the acts reducing the duties on salt
and molasses, and allowing drawback on rum1
that they will never complain of the tariff on
any other articles. They say the tariff on cot.
ton goods does not injure them, and that on
fine woollens is paid by rich men, and the great
body of the people have nothing to complain of
They consider the north and the south as now
reconcied. boston Courier.
Every day adds confirmation to the wisdom
of the policy advocated by the real friends Of
the protective system. The provisions of the
Tariff act, above alluded to, which have been
recently repealed, it should be remembered
were introduced into it by combination of the
northern and western Jackson members with
those from the south, for the avowed purpose Of
making it " a bill of denominations" in order to
prevent its passage. The friends of the sys-
tenn, however, to the CONSERVATION Of their OPP
ponents, passed the bill as it was, trusting to
the wisdom of a succeeding Congress to repea
the obnoxious provisions. That has now been
done, and we trust it will be productive of
better state of feeling at the south than ha.
been manifested for year or TWO past,

CENSUS. The enumeration of inhabitants in
this town is nearly completed Four thousand
one hundred and sirty-nins persons have al
ready been ascertained, and there may be som e
trifiing additions TO that number. The popu-
nine hundred and sirty-taoO, showing an in
crease in 10 years of over taOelre hundred in
habitants, or about forty-one per cent.
The population of MESDoN is ascertaincd to
be about 5000: in 1920, it was 1854, making a
gain of above 40 per cent. These are the only
towns from which we have heard. We think
there can be little doubt that the present popu-
lation of Worcester County is nearly, if not
quite, ninety thousand.

The RHISocERos, now in Boston, is about d
feet and half in height, is only Is months old,
and weighs about 1000 pounds He was OBJ
tanned from the Rajah of Benares, about 600
miles distant from Calcutta, VINO parted with
him reluctantly to an individual who brought
him out. The well known natural antipaihy
between this beast and the Elephant was shown
board, which was sick, and he was taken from
his place of confinement to move ON deck-but
as soon as the Rhinoceros scented him, he be-
came furious and noisy, and the Elephant, cow
ed by his cries, retreated to his cage Il is
stated that the latter is always killed or con.
quered by the Rhnoceros,-whose power is ir.
resstible, both for attack and defence.

COLONIAL TRADE. Notwithstanding the pa
rade made by Gen. Jacksons sending special
message to Congress on the subject of this
trade, and the going into secret session, to read
the documents communicated by him, it ap-
pears that there is no more prospect of an ar.
rangement on that subject than there was two
years ago. 1t has leaked out, that in the cor
respondence of our Minister, it was merely sug-
gested that it might be expediens for the Presi-
den: to DO clothed by Congress with the power
Of opening our ports to British vessels from the

rangement being made. But private letters

COURAGEOUS .BoY. The New York Livings.
ton Journal contains the particulars of an ad-
venture which, for thoughtless daring on the
part OF boy, has no parallel in this country.
During the last winter, Genesee county was
much annoyed by the ravages of ferocious
wolf, and at last party was formed with the
determination of killing him. Among the pur-
suers was lad named Hewlett, aged Is, who,
eager In the pursuit saw the wolf ahead and
applying his whip % his horse overlook him lust
as ne was entering swamp, and being with
out fire arms ne attempted to run him down by
ms morse, but he refused to proceed, and shrunk
from the contest, he then dismounted took
halter from his horse, and followed on foot af.
ter the wolf, who had become somewhat ex-
hausted, The boy soon came up with him and
seized him by the TAIL braced his feet in the
snow, and held him for his companions to ar
rive ne continued some minutes, when the
woli having become relieved from his fatigue,
turned round to attack his antagonist the BOYS
courage was not daunted, and he seized hold of
the nape OF his neck with his right hand, and
with his left still held on his tall and after
whlrilng one another around number of sue
cessVe times, they both fell, but fortunately
the boy uppermost. The contest by this time
must have become one of desperation, but the
boy presence of mind did not forsake him
the wolf was deep in the snow, and the young
sampson oore uoWn upon his neck to prevent

VIRGINIA LAW. The Court of Hastings
was yesterday engaged in the examination
OF Charlotte Haywood, a white woman,
who is charged with having caused the
death of Lucy Johnson, free girl of color
by stabbing her with a knife. After the
witnesses for the Commonwealth were call
ed to be sworn, motion was made by the
counsel for the prisoner to exclude two of
the witnesses from giving evidence, upon
the ground that they were mulattoes, and
therefore incompetent to give testimony
against the prisoner who was white per-
son. The witnesses moved to he excluded
were females; both appeared to be white :;
and the complexion of one was remarkably
fair. Yet notwithstanding that they were
apparently white, it was alleged that they
had enough of negro blood to be deemed in
law mulattoes. To support this allegation,
several witnesses were introduced and the
Court, after hearing their testimony, decid-
ed that the witnesses objected to. could not
give evidence in the case The Common
wealth was however possessed of other ties.
timony. Three witnesses were examined
to whose competency no objection was
raised; and the court determined to send
on the prisoner to be tried before the Supe-
rior court Of Law.

HIGH-HANDED UsURPATIoN. In the appoint
ment OF M. M. Noah to the office he holds, Gen
jackson has been guilty of wanton violation
of the spirit of the Constitution, and has shewn
the same disregard to the provisions Of that in
strument, which he has manifested on all former
occasions when it stood in his way land has justif-
ed the fears entertained by his opponents on that
head, previous to his election. Noah's nomin-
ation.was rejected by majority of two votes
when erery member Of the Senate acas present.
The vote stood 90 for him, and 25 against
Soon after, two Of the members who voted
against him, left Washington, and third was
confined to his room by sickness. Gen. Jack
son, watching his opportunity, took advantage
OF these absence to re.nominate Noah. The
nomination was again considered when the votes
stood % for confirming and % for rejecting, and
the Vice President gave his casting vote in ia
vor of the noRination Thus the decision of
Twenty-Five Senators is reversed by the votes
of tacenty-taco, and man is appointed to high
and responsible Office by Gen. Jackson, in OPP
postioh 10, ana In spite OIL, majority OF the
Senate, voting against it In the language u.s.
ed by Gen. Jackson himself, in his celebrated
Dinsmore letter, we have reason to excaim :
" Are we freemen or are we slaves ?" The
man who would, thus indirectly, violate the con-
sttution, would not hesitate to do it more d.
rectly and more openly, if a case occurred in
which it stood in the way of his ambitious de-
signs.

CLOSE OF CONGRESS

There was tremendous bioao-up in the Jackson
party in Congress, just before the adjournment,
which has caused breach that never can be re-
paired When it is considered that it was merely
a personal party, composed of the most discordant
materials, without any common bond of principle
to unite tnem it is rather singular that the explo-
sion should not sooner have taken place. The
sacrifices Of some to prevent it. have been great
and when 1t finally did happen, many members de-
clared that in voting for the Indian BILL they
rhced their own views of right and Justice, in or
der to satisfy the President and his friends. They
now regretted having done SO, but it was too late
the bilLwas beyond their controul. This shews
the danger of acting from any motive but regard
to principle.
Inc only act OF retrenchment which had been
done by the present retrenching administration
abolishing the Office of Draughtsman-has been re.
versed and the Office restored and, aotwlthstand-
ing there has, for many years past, been surplus
in the Treasury of four or FIVE millions of dollars.
besides making the payments on the national debt.
and appropriations for internal improvements, so
prodigal has this administration been in its expen-
ditures, that in returning the Maysville Road bill
the want of means to meet the appropriation
-(Sl5OOOO) was one of the reasons given by Gen.
Jackson for rejecting the BILL
Gen. Jackson did not succeed in bullying the
Senate into the appointment of his friend Rector
as Indian Agent, en- account of whose character
will be found in Washington letter in another
column.

GAMBLING HOUSES. The Portland Courier

LIGHTNING. A very singular instance of the
awful effects of this powerful fluid occurred in
the adjoining county of Columbia, short time
ago: As Miss Smith was riding on horse
back, with a small negro behind her, and IN
company with another female on horseback,
they were overtakon by a storm, in which the
lightning struck her on the forehead, above the
temple, cutting terrible cash completely to
the bone-passed on to her shoulder and down
her side, to the horse on which she rode, which
was killed simultaneously, She was struck
;, down together with the negro who rode behind
hcr, and tho other female and horse. All, ex-
cepting herself and horse ,ose perfectly recov-
cred, very shortly, but she continued in a state
Of insensibility for two or three days, and when
last heard from, it was considered doubtful that
she would recover, or retain her senses if she
did. This is the first instance we recollect to
have heard of, of lightning cutting the flesh !;
and it is not little remarkable that she, who
was struck first, should have survived at all,
while tho horse, to which the fluid afterwards
passed, was killed instantly. Much of her bon.
net and clothes were torn up into tho very finest
kind Of lint possible. She frequently spoke in

blue coat with yellow buttons, drab small clothes
white top boots white Marseilles waistcoat cravot
rather dirty, and tied round his neck ike rope and
broad brmnied hat.

him, and settled his broad quarters slowly down he
gave me look which said plainly as words could
