We learn through private letter from Char
lottesvllle, that the Jackson and Barbour Central
Committee held meeting on the first at which it
was determined to run an Independent Ticket for
Jackson and Barbour.
what Will tho learned and venerable Richie
say to this arrangement? Will it not divide the
Republican Party7 Will not his sensitive nerves
be shocked, electrified, and unstrung7 What
Piantive strains we shall doubtless hear from the
consistent gentleman?
Had the friends Of Barbour taken this course at
first, assured victory had perchod on their stand
ard. The People of Virgins must prefer do pre-.
fer native Vrginian who supports their opinions,
to man whom they know not, who opposes them.
But, great efforts have been made to dctoch them
from Barbour, and attach them to Van Buren,, and
these efforts unoPPesed until this ato hour, will in
all probability succeed.

course none knew of the construction of
the place, save the hostess and her fam
lily, who had fled the field in search Of
the key, upon the first intimation Of the
change the enemy had made in his posi-
tion, before a second thought told them
OF the utter impossbility of any mortal
transferring himself from the chimney
to the closet.
"Burst open the door," said the young
spokesman, and upon kind of rumbling
noise being heard in the closet, as Of
"note of preparation" two or three ap-
peared determined to faint, at all events,
and the young man was induced to ex-
claim, 'ladies and gents have you never
heard Of ventriloquism 2" A roar Of
laughter from majority of the compa-
ny followed the question, as the convic-
ton ofthe truth flashed upon the senses,
that one ofthe company was highly gift
ted with the rare and astonishing power
of ventriloquism. Yet so deeply were
some impressed with the belief in the re-
allity of "poor Tom," and his distress
ing situation, that it was almost impossi-
BILE to induce the more superstitious to
forego it. And the fatal closet was re-
garded with an eye Of jealous suspicion,
till at length the key was found, which
proved key indeed to the complete e.
lucidation of the mystery, to the entire
satisfaction Of all, and the entertainment
closed at late hour in the most univer-
sal harmony.

The following account of curious
battle is from the latest number Of Mr..
SINNERS Baltimore Sporting Magazine.
SNAKE-FIGHT.
The late Major Il. of the army, a gal
liant officer, who was severely wounded
at the sortie of Fort Erie, and died after
ward from the effect of his wound, while
a representative from his native state in
Congress, used to relate the following
account of battle which.he once wit
messed, between black and rattle
snake.
He was riding on horseback, when he
observed the snakes i'm the road, a short
distance ahead Of him. They were NOV
ing around in circle, and apparently
following each other. A gentleman who
was with the Major, and who had wit
messed similar scene before, remarked
that it was the prelude to fight, and
worthy the loss Of little time to witness.
They accordingly stopt their hsrses, and
neuvre Of following each other in kind
of circle, was pursued for some time,
closing at each round, until, when within
few feet, the black snake was observed
to stop, coil, and place himselfn an atti-
tude to strike. The rattle-snake now
passed round his antagonist two or three
times, lessening the distance at each
round, when he also stopped and began
to coil. But before he was ready TO
strike, the black snake suddenly darted
upon him. His cvoiutions, were too
rapid to be detected, and when he was
again distinctly observed, both snakes
were stretched out at full length, the rat
tie snake enveloped in tho folds Of the
black, which had also seized the rattle
snake at The back Of the head and held
him there. After short interval, the
black snake gradually unfolded himself,
loosened the grip with his mouth from
the rattle snakes head, and moved away.
On examination, the rattle snake was
found to be dead, and apparently every
bone in his body was crushed. The
black snake is constructor, and usually
destroys its prey by enfolding and crush
ing it.

TO MY SON.

From the new edition Of Lord Byron's Worl
Thoce flaxen locks, those eyes OF blue,
Bright as their mothers in their hue
Those rosy lips, whose dimples play,
And smile to steal the heart away,
Recall scene Of former Joy,
And touch thy Fathers heart, my Boy.
And thou csn'st lisp Fathers namo-
All, William, were thine own the same;
No self reproach- but, let me cease
My care for thee shall purchase peace
Thy mothers shade shall smile in Joy,
And pardon oil the past, my Boy
Her lowly grave the turf has prest,
And thou hast known a strangers breast,
Derision sneers upon thy birth,
And yields thee scarce namc on earth
Yet shall not these one hope Destroy
A Fathers heart is thine my Boy!
Why, lei the world unfeeling frown,
Must fond Natures claim disowni
All, no though moralists reprove,
hail thee, dearest child Of love,
Fair cherub, pledge ofyou and JOY
A Father guards thy birth, my Boy
Oh, twill be sweet in thee to trace,
Ere age has wrinkled DER my face,
Ere half my glass of life is run,
At once brother and a son;
And all my wane Of years employ
In justice done to thee, my Boy
Although SO young thy needless sire,
Youth will not damp parental frc;
And, vert thou still less dear TO me,
While Helen's form revives in thee
The breast, which beat to former Joy,
will ne'er desert its pledge, my Boy

Reducing a Story.-There lived, away
South, . famous sportsman, who not only
made long shots in the field, but likewise a
the board. In "a word, be was fond Of tel
ling very large stories.--Being aware that
he carried this practice to somewhat un.
warrantable length, he commissioped his IA.
vourte black man, Cudjo, TO give him hint
Whenever he found him stretching the truth
too much.
Ono day dining in company with sundry
other gentlemen, he told some prodgious
large stories; aud, among the rest ofa fox
which he had killed, that had a tail twenty
yards long. Honest Cudjo thought this quite
too extravagant; and as he stood behind his
masters chair, he gave him a nudge.
Twenty, did say Perhaps I'm little too
fast. But twas all offfteen.
Cudjo gave him second nudge.
Eh !let me see. Twas ten at least.
A third nudge.
Twas every inch of five.
A fourth nudge.
Twas three, any how.
A fifth nudge.
The sportsman took all these hints in good
part until he received the last; when thinking
his story was already cut down enough. he
turned suddenly to his servant and exclaimed,
Why, bludgeons and blunderbuss, Cudjo,
wont you let my fox have any tail ?--Constst-
kation.

VENTRILOQUISM.

very amusing and interesting occur
renee took place a few weeks since, at a
select party in - street. Some
time after the company, which was very
large and respectable, were introduced,
and had become deeply absorbed in the
amusements Of the evening, around a
blazing FIRE on the hearth; on sudden
hollow plaintive cry, as of one in dis
tress, was heard apparently to proceed
from the chimney. The company all
rose on the instant, and gazed upon each
other in breathless silence again the
voice was heard, saying "Oh help me
help me or I'll smodder in dis place. -
"Put out the FIRE put out the fire J" ex-
claimed half a dozen voices in the room,
and pitcher of water was quickly on
the spot. While some fed in haste to
the dressing room, with CONSERVATION
depicted on every countenance, young
gentlemen stepping close to the Fireplace
called out, who's there I" "O-o--poor
Tom. the sweep" groaned the voice up
the chimney! "Poor fellow" sighed the
ladies', "Oh help him out" "How long
have you been up there, my dear fel-
low 7 asked the gentleman. "Nearly a
socek Sir" "Oh my gracious" again
sighed the ladies', he must be almost
starved. "Poor Toms hot" again
groaned the man in the chimney, and the
very hearts Of his auditors died within
them. The excitement having now aris-
en- to an almost painful pitch, it was for
poor Tom to get himselfou ofthat smoky
place, as quickly as possible. Accord
ingly, he slid gently from his station into
a side cupboard, built against the Chin
ney-way, which fortunatly was locked,
and still more fortunately, the key not to
be found "Oh murder murder |!
m--,,-r-d-e--r!" !" shouted poor Tom
in the cupboard-"give me something to
eat. or I'll stsrve outright I" The strings
Of every reticule in the room gave way
al he word, and half their rich contents
were quickly at his service; and had
..poor Tom" then actually appeared, he
would doubtless have been greeted with
q more pitiless storm, Of almonds, mint
drops and pound-cske, than his sooty
swsspship ever before experienced. OF

Revolt of the Slaves in Jamaica.


 A letter from Havana, dated January 14th, received in Boston, says, that tthere was an ar rivalthere from Jamaica, bringing intelligence of the deplorabie condition of that island.- The Negroes, 15,000 strong, and we'll armed, had entire possession of the interior, and were dcsolating the island with fire and sword.
 This news is confirmed by the Schooner Harvey, Snow, which arrived at Baltimore on Tuesday, from Montego Bay, Jamaica, whence she sailed on the 5th January. Cap- tain Snow reports that the whole island was in a state of confusion and alarm, in conse. quence of the insurrectionary movements of the slaves. The Troops had been called out, and had attacked them, and all who did not surrender at discretion, were shot. Many slaves, it is added, had met that fate. Martial law had been declared. and the vessels in port were not permitted to sail. The Harvey, however. being full, and having applied for clearance several days before the declaration of martial law, was allowed to depart. Three British frigates had arrived there from Kings ton. with 500 marines on board. The insur- rection was not quelled when the H. sailed, and Captain Snow saw several large fires burning at distance. negro hut had been examined, and three hundred stand of arms found therein. The insurgents, appeared to be well armed. The following proclamation was issued on the 2d January:
 MoNTEeo BAY, HEAD QUARTERS,
 St. James, Jan. 2, 1882.
 To the RebeLiouS Sidues.
 NEGROEs-You have taken up arms against your masters, and have burnt and plundered their houses and buildings. Some wicked persons have told you that the king has made you free. and that your masters withhold your freedom from you. In the name of the king I come among you to tell you, you are mis. led. bring with me numerous forces to punish the guilty. and all who are found with the rebels will be put to death without mer- cy. You cannot resist the kings troops.- Surrender yourselves and beg that your crime may be pardoned. All who yield themselves up at any military post immediately. provided they are not principals and chiefs in the burn ings that have been committed, will receive his Msjesty's gracious pardon. All who hold out, will meet with certain death.

We notice an article in the Freeman's Banner.

General Duvali, of Florida. "stated publicly,
that in conversation with Mr. Calhoun on the
subject of coalition with Mr.. Clay, in the ensu'
ing Presidential contest, MIR. Calhoun had IN.
formed him that he never could unite with that
gentleman, (Mr. Clay, as he considered him one
of the greatest scoundres in the country"
AS direct as this statement appears TO be, there
must be mistake somewhere. That Mr.. Cal
houn cannot unite with Mr.. Clay. every one who
knows him and his political sentiments, Will rea-
Oily admit. There are no two prominent men IN
the country, whose political principles and views
of policy are more directly opposed, than MS
and those Of Mr.. Clay The difference presents
an insuperable barrier between them, politically
and this. no doubt. he may have expressed 10
conversations; but that he could so far forget
what was due to himself Or TO Mr.. Clay, as to
apply the epithet which the above extract con-

plying Mr. Clay's prominent position, anu 10
whom he bears the relation, official and personal
which he doesto that gentleman. Al no time,
even in the midst of the highest party excitement
during the last canvass, was there suspension
of their personal intercourse; nor have they. az
any time, refused to treat each other with the
courtesy due to gentlemen. Telegraph.
