t6catiou we inform the public, that the sole con-
river and leader of the late insurrection IN South
mountaineering whom such hue and cry
h,s heen kent up Tor months, and so many false
,.norts circulated-the murderer Nat 1arnsr,
has At last been taken and safely lodged IN pri.
sou. .
IT. that on Sunday morning last, Mr..
phipps, having his gun, and going over the lands
al Mr. Francis lone OF the first victims oil the he'll
fish crew. came to a place where number oil
mines had been cut down, and percei'ing slight
motion amongst them, cautiously approached, and
when within few wards, discovered the william
who had so long eiuded pursuit, endeavorlng to
ensconce himself in kind OF cave, the mouth OF
winch was concealed with brush. Mr.. Z. raised
his GUN 10 fire: but Nat hailed him and offered to
surrender. Mr.. p. ordered him to give up his
arms: Nat then threw away an old sword. which
i, seems vas the only weapon he had. Inc PR,
soner. as his captor came up, submissiVe.y laid
himseifon the ground, aud was mus securely ueu
no, making the least resistance.
Nj p. took Nat 10 his residence, where he
ton, him until Monday morning-and having APP
prisad his neighbors Of his success. copsidera-
lie marty accompanied him aud his prisoner to
IsrusoIem. where after brief examination, the
cuiprit was committed TO jail.
Our informant lone IF our own citizens, who
happened to be in the county at the uus,) awards
much praise TO the People OF southampton 'or
forbearance on this occasion. lie says mat not
Tho Is,st personal violence was offered to Nat
win, seemed, indeed, one of the most miserable
objects he ever beheld--deiected' emaelated and
ragsed. The poor wretch, we learn admits all
that has been alleged against him-says that he
has at no time been five miles from the scene OF
his atrocities; and that he has frequently w'snsa
to give himself up, but could never summon SUM-
Gent resolution.
Mr.. phipps, as the sole captor OF Nat, is
.,ono entitled To the several rewards amounting
IN the aggregate. as we understand, to about
81. 100, offered by the Commonwealth and dbl
fereut gentlemen, for his apprehension; aud we
are told. tina, in thus instance Fortune has favor
al n very deserving individual-to whom in adj
di,ou to the pleasure arising from the recolee,
tion Of the deed, the money derived from it will
not be unacceptable.

VOYAGES AND ISCOVERIES OF THE
COMPANIONS OF COLUMBUS.

The work is IA sequel to the History of Colum,
bus, and the period cmbracedin it from The close
of the fifteenth to the first quarter OF the ensuing
century, though so rich in historical romance,
presents few subjects of more animated interest
than the varying fortunes and dramatic adven-
lures of these daring rovers. The fate of many
of them is as melancholy as their career is in
s%piriting: and almost all seem to have inherited
the ungratcful destiny, as we'll as the enterprise,
of their great master. Of the dauntless AlonZo
de Oieda, one of the haughtiest of these adven-
turers, we are told that she died so poor, that
he did not leave money enough to provide for
his interment; and so broken in spirit, that with
his last breath, he entreated his body might be
buried in the monastery of San Francisco, Just at
the portal, in humble e~xpiation of his past pride.
: thai every one who entered might Tread upon
his sraps.'"
1t was with Ojeda that .4;nerigo Vespuci sail
ed; and. among the other voyagers, we find the
names of Vasco Nunez, the discoverer of The Pa
cifc; Vincent Yanez Pinzon, Diego de Nicuesa,
Juan Ponce de Leon, SC. The fate of the first
of these Is even more cruel than that of the bold
Oieda. The closing scene of his life is affect
ingly painted in the following passage:
sit was a day of gloom and horror at Acla,
when NascO Nunez and his companions were
led forth to execution The ~popu!ace were NOV
ed to tears at the unhappy fate of a man whose
gallant deeds had excited their admiration. and
whose generous qualities had won their hearts.
