Forty were from Tennessee and the residue from

sed superior education and gifted mind, and
who was intended for a teacher in Liberia.
The Ajax left Key West on the 10th ult. Tor

had been from ten to fifteen cases in the town.
nine of which had proved fatal, out Of Popula-
ton of two hundred. No case had occurred be-

Mr.. Editor:
A singular circumstance Of late
Occurred in old Virginia State,
And while | have moments leisure,
The truth to you I'll give with pleasure.
A gentleman supposed to 6e)
, Did pass this way unknown to me.
But with my friend some days abode,
Also the borrowed horse he rode.
This stranger is full six feet tall.
And his true names unknown to all:
His eyes are dark, his frock is brown,
And drawn before when he sits down,
To hide his pantaioons from view,
For they are old aud homespun too:
His hat is rather rusty, and
Enveloped in an old Grape band:
His neck is IN black stock dress'd:
His vest is black, with double breast:
His shirt may not be worth dollar,
For saw nothing but the collar:
Wears Calhoun shoes-fne upper feathers:
"A jack.daw like, in peacock's feathers.
He thinks by art to raise his faIne--
Aud now assumes Bob Randoiph's name:
So introduced where'er he goes;
But who he is, there's no one knows;
Although his honor may be known.
He bears name tina, s not his own,
Which name 10 him, must declare,
Can be no honor if he stands fair;-.
For its not right. IN my belief,
For any man to strike the Chisf,
Nor to abuse him without cause,
For executing Of the Laws.
We'll arm'd he goes, il all be true.
With pistols. guns. and ptchforks too.
have been told. if not mistaken,
He's much afraid of being taken:
All pubic places he now shuns.
And sometimes to the bushes runs.
IL this is nothing but a quiz,
And some suppose it really is,
And he acts this way through pretence--
II so-he shows lack Of sense.
But if this imposition be
That he from justice here did flee,
To escape the punishment that's due,
I hope he'll harbor'd be by lew.
l know not what the effect may be
In protecting such man as he.
He now is in Prince William County,
And we wiil take him for bounty,
Aud then in Limbo him retain
Until he change his name again.
When you, my friend, these lines peruse,
The poetry you will excuse;
Forgive the humely style likewise,
As time have not to revise. Q. L.
S.-The stranger, hope, will pardon the
crime
OF painting him thus, in something like
rhy me:
Unless he does shortly bis purpose dis.
