might still be received among his FORM
or associates if he would only consent to
have the mark of the beast shorn off.
The great obstacle in the way to an un-
ION OF these two chiefs is their ambition.
The leader Of the rule in He'll party 10
determined at all events to be co,nman-
der in Chief Of the nllied forces, and has
even managed SO adroitly as to obtain q
few bastard democrats TO wear his livery
and swear fealty to him. On the other
hand the leader Of the nationals, or COM
mon sense party has been to long accus-
toned to seat at Uncle Sans great ta-
bIe-too long in the habit Of partaking
of the best loaves and fishes of Office and
at all times to have principal seat at
the first table to think now Of dining on
second cuts, or taking his seat at the Sec
ond table. We expect various entertain
ing acts before the play closes. If wo
were asked for our opinion as to tho
probable victor, we should at once bestow
the wreath upon the leader oftlle ration
ais; for this reason his opportunities Of
calculation as TO the chances of final sue
cess have been much better than his OPP
ponents. To these we may add that he
has Of late pressed new hobby into his
service, SO that he can MS occasions re-
quire change beasts on the road now rid
ing Clay nag and anon mount upon an
anti-mason,c pony. We may add still
further, that being like Napoleon sold
Ter Of fortune, he hardly ever fails Of sue
CESS in his enterprises, though to the
eyes Of novices they may seem rash and
and daring. No one knows better than
he does when to retreat and leave piece
of his fellow Clay to its fate. No one
can with better grace transfer his hom-
age from setting to rising.sun. No one
can with more probability Of success per-
suade his adherents that Clayism and
Antimasonry are one and the same, and
that he partaking ofthe nature ofboth is
the most fit to rule both. On the other
hand the leader Of the Simon Purcs,
though a man of profound sagacity in
politics will we venture to predict be fin
ally defeated. Already have many Of
his disciples turned back, and we hourly
observe others halting and wavering in
their minds, and voluntarily comfessing
they care not which they vote for Writ
or Clay. These are your nationals, men
who do not mean to sink with rotten
hulk If there is any means Of escape.
One word of advice to them both and
we have done. Ifyou would be on the
strong side, aud the side Of honesty at
the same time join yourselves to tile
standard Of Old Hickory, and you will
most surely come off conquerors. By
so dong you will avoid the tronblc ofen
deavoring to make a sound piece Of po
litIcal mechanism out of rotten and de-
cayed materials, and at the same rme
save yourself from n thousand reproaches
for deceiving your more humble co-ad-
tutors as to the event Of a struggle which
will inevitably consign the falsely styled

in disguise, to the tomb prepared for il

Extraordinary Madnsss.-There is ut
present man who believes himself dead
ever since the battle Of Austerlitz, where
he received serious wound. His de-
lirium consists in that he can no longer
recognize his own body; if he is asked
how he is, he says, you ask how Pere
Lambert is, but he is dead, he was killed
at the battle of Austerlitz, what you now
see is not him, but a machine made in
his likeness, and which has been very
badly made. This man has very FREE
quently fallen into state Of immobility
and insensiblity which lasts for several
days. Neither sinap.sms nor blisters
ever cause the slightest pain. The skin
hns been frequently pinched, and pierc-
ed with pins without his being aware of
it. Does not this man offer remarka-
BILE example of delirium manifestly in
fuenced by want of sensibility in the
skin, and want Of well. marked modifica-
ton ofvisceral neutrality-suspicious. Ned

found his strength failing him, and made
last and desperate effort for ths maste-
~. They had rolled in the struggle TO
within few feet Of the edge ofthe preci-
pice, and the Indian by Herculean eff
fort, threw bis opponent from him. and
in second was upon his feet. Ere Reid
had time to recover himself, the uplIfted
knife of the Indian was aimed at his
breast but erasping the blade with his
naked hand he succeeded in evadiug the
blow, and again seized his adversary.
And as both tottered on the edge of the
precipice in their efforts to bring each
other to the earth they lost their footing
and fell. Reid in descending aught
with one hand, the trunk of a small tree
which grew from chasm in the preci-
pice, few yards down, while with the
other he firmly grasped his knife. The
Indian, however, still embraced him, and
was not to be shaken of.
He had dropped his knife in the con-
test, and with both arms clasped the body
Of Reid. In this situation, between hea-
ven and earth-between this world and
the next, they for moment hung. Both
we're Ear exhausted-but yet both retain
ed taeir grasp, and with it all their ami
mostly aud purposes Of vengeance.
Reid's hold upon the tree was precarious
land in addition to supporting his own
weight, he was compelled to support that
ofthe Indians also; while tho Indians
grasp upon him, though less sure than his
own. might yet be retained until he was
exhausted and both should fall together
to certain destruction.-ln this situation
he raised tile arm in which he held his
knife-the Indian saw it descending and
made last aud powerful struggle to tear
the grasp of Reid from the tree. But
this last consolation of Indian vengeance
was denied him. The knife was buried
in his bosom; he fell without groan ;
and dashing from rock to rock, sunk in
the pond below. Reid succeeded, but
with much difficulty, in making his way
back to the top Of the prccipice and
lived to good old age, the hero many

than he had ever before manifested.

The United States Gazette, contains the
following extract Of letter, written by lady,
dated.
PENSACOLA, May 9th. 1882.
On board the Erie-At O'Clock, P. NJ ap.
peared to be going on we'll, but unfortunately
the pilot run US aground on Caucus shoals, about
three miles outside Of the harbour. The pilot
was so obstinate that he would not take in sail
and wind and tide set her on the shoal. About
an hour alter she got aground, she continued
to strike SO often, and with such violence, that
signals of distress were fired, the Commodore
being some distance at sea. He and the Cap
tain of the Vincennes both sent boats and men,
but the surf was so strong that they were unable
to fix anchors to warp her of. This scene con.
tinued from A. NJ. to near in the morning;
during this time they were constantly firing mi
mute guns, AZ Founders, heavily loaded, the
danger increasing every moment
What added TO the horror Of the scene, they
several times used the blue light" which is the
last signal of distress at sea. A great deal oil
provision, and about 100000 pounds of shot were
thrown overheard.
A brig came alongside to take of the guns,
but just at that time the tide changed, and she
was soon snoat No blame at all is to be attach
ed to the Captain, it having been entirely the
fault OF the pilot. The Erie went to sea the next
morning. 1t was the opinion Of some Of the off,
GERS, that had the Erie remained five hours long
err aground she must have gone to pieces.
The Vncennes and the Fairfield were both at
Pensacola at this date

GREAT FREsHET ON THE KENNEBEC.
The Gardiner (Maine) Standard Of the 22d

bee River to height almost unparalleled. The
water at this Internationally morning 7
O'Clock, two or three feet higher than the memo
rabIe freshet in March. 1926, and still rising,
but we trust it has nearly reached its maximum.

The stores and ice houses on the upper wharf
which successfully resisted the Immense mass oil
ice and water that pressed upon them IN the reshet

of the current only. Several smaller buildings,
situate near the head of the wharves have been
taken from their foundations, and either swept
down the stream or foated to the banks and Sc
cured with rores and chains. About dozen
vessels have parte their fasts by the pressure OF
logs and drift stuff accumulated against them and
are gune, we know not whittier.

seen floating past US. Rats, logs, shlng les, &C.

that the road in many places between US and
Hallowell is impassso,e from the destruction OF
