4 communication over thc signature q "Z." (which l suppose to be a contraction of Zany, an epithet very properly apper- taioing to the writer,) protesting to de- preca;e party spirit, and to iaud certain characters, bas made its appearance in this day's Gazette. The following con- else remarks on the paper, are all that the puerile production fnerits.-
 Of old "Alick, T. admits be gets drunk once and a while--in that condition I leave them together. ssDld Ailek' will duty appreciate such panegyric. Of Maj Field, z. does not pretend 10 say aaght in his favor, but that he is good clerk, which every hody admits to be the fact. ssOld Jo" comes rext, and in the estimation of 7. he possesses all tie good qualities of man, sotriefy itself not cxcep- ted.
 Ashley is next in order, and of him 1t is you are sure 10 getit.' Proof of the neg ative ofthis assertion can be had, by ref erence to ono of the most respectable ne rebapts in this piaee---f, slley Is further said 10 be none of .syour dirking pistoi- ing fellows" This assertion, none w i'll venture to deny, who have bad opportunl- Y of knowing the man, 4. appears very sensitive on the point ofyoung men saying ought against old married men with fami- lies, when the old men of families, belong to his own side, but no doubt he think E 1t right to abuse old and young. with or without families, when they belong to tic opposite side. Little Billy himself appears to lie in repentant mood, how feelingiy he depreeates par ty warmth--one would be led to be- liese that he never had given utter- ance to an expression, calculated to rufle the feelings of fellow being. It IS de- Yoatly to be wished. that bis present frame of lnind may be the result of serious con- yiction for past offences, and be followed 1 by ccursc of conduct, which shall prove that he IS determined hereafter, to state the f,'ntA, the whole trNih, and nothing but the truth, in despite of the suggestions o1 evil CoaascStors.

The editor olthe Gazette has again commenced shooting sEaal! g'ins. Ii,
 his Gazette of the 2ist ut. we find Inearlya columa devoted to the instruc-
 ton of the people, directing then, how
 they shall vote al the approaching cleo
 ton. As q means of drilling them into
 subjection, he introduces his great bug
 a-boo. (Robt. Crittenden,) as if he sup poses the name of Robt. Crittenden strikes every man with the same awe,
 as it does himself. If he does, I will now inform him lie is mistaken. The
 people can see nothing in Mir. Crittep-
 dcn's name so alarming, as to prevent
 them from voting for the man of their
 choice. His name is referred to with pride, by some of those who politically differ with him, and the people will
 ask why Mir. Woodruff has introduced him, thus unceremoniously? He has heen absent for some weeks, and could
 not possibly have had any influence in
 bringing out the candidates. as some of
 them have declared themselves. during his absence fromthe county. The peo- ple must view such insinuations with pity and contempt, to suppose them ca.
 pable of being led by any man, or set of men. What analogy the feudal sys- tenn of England has to Pulaski county, l cannot divine. The people here, ac- lynowledge no Lords or Masters. nor do
 they consider themselves vassals or vll- leins. They exercise free and inde- pendent right, inherited by the blood of their ancestors--a right of all others, the dearest 10 freemen. In free ex-
 ercise of this great principle, will Mir. ] Woodruff contend that the people of the county ard Territory, are sold like the slaves of Virginia, or any other lslave-hoIding state2 MT. Woodrufhas
 been so long accustomed to be dictated
 to himself that he conceives it to be his
 privilege, on the present occasion, to become a dictator. He surely is a
 stranger to the high feelings of 3 free
 and independent voter, or he never
 would have descended to such miser-
 able effort. How long since Mir. w. has
 discarded party, we have yet to learn. We would ask him to enforce his pre- lcept by examples. before he gives erat- |uitous advice. Will he enlighten us 10 far astc let IS see and kncw when se se Iyoted for the man politically opposed

Among the Librories Of all kinds that are now being published, Carey and Lea nave undertaken one of the most important, and which, if well executed, will be the most valuable Of them all. 1t is GENERAL HIsToRv OF AMERrcA, divided into parts, making together q continuous whole, yet each having an integral form, adapted for separate pub lication. Each portion will be brought down to the period at which it shall be written, and will contain popular de- scription of the geology, climate, and productions, and the civil history of tho country to which it relates.
 Mexico, the various $. American Provinces, Russian, British, Spanish, Dutch. and Danish America, the United States, &c. will form each separate volume. Such work is desideratum in our literature, and is much wanted.
 The following account of the less of the Steamboat Cumberland is commu~ nicated to the editor of the Cincinnati Daily Advertiser by gentleman of that city who had just arrived from Newe l Orleans:
 About the beginning of the month, precise day not known, the Steamboat Cumberland, hound up the Mississippi, with between three and four hundred emigrants, ran on the bank in fog, I when she let 20 her anchor; which not holding, she dritted olsa reef of rocks, where she broke in two, and her boil CTS slipped out of their beds overheard ]; at the same time the steam-pipe hurst ing. The Captains wife and daughter were scaIded, but not fatally. Before the boat sunk, she drifted six or eight miles down the river, which afforded an opportunity 10 the passengers to save themselves, with the exception offrom ssfpe te nisse," who were drowned.

 LIVERPOOL, llth October. Accounts received in Liverpool last evening from Derby. represent serious disturbances to have taken place in that town, on the receipt Of the intelligence ofthe Bill having been thrown out, the popnlace, il is added, vented their fury against the inhabitants whose sentiments were known to be at variance with pub lie opinion, by attacking fbcirdwellings, breaking their windows, Sc. when tie populacc proceeded 10 tiie gaoi, and liberated the whole of the prisoners, both debtors and criminals.
 The news of the defeat of the Reform measure, produced the same powerful sensation in Chester, as in other parts of the Empire, where 1t arrived on Sun. day about noon.

MANY, left this place in the Steam-hoat Enterprise for Cantonment Gibson ea the Arkansas River; Col. Many with ihis command have composed the garrl- son of Cant.

During his long residence a moRgst us, his conduct has been such, as 10 endear hin to a numerous circle of friends and appropriateness in private life. Distinguished for his good sense. and an intimate knowledge ol the mili- tary profession, he was respected by his interiors in rank, and by the trankness and cordiality Of his mannerand address, gained their attachment as an officer the army has none of greater merit, and the country not firmer or more ar dent patriot.
 Wc should do injustice to the officers of the corps, did we not express our re- gret at their departure. Between them and the citizens of this Parish, the ut most harmony and good feeling, has al- 1 ways prevailed.
