 in entwining itself round its victim, that the rattle snake has no way of escaping from is fatal embrace. When the black and rattle snakes are about 10 meet for battle, the former darts forward at the heiaht nf hs speed, and strikes at the neck oi the latter With unering certainty, leaving a foot or two of the upper part oi his own body at liberty. In an instant he eilcir- cles him within five or six folds, he then stops and looks the strangled and gasping foe in the face toaseertain the effect produ- ced upon hls eorsetted body. 1.-The shows signs oi' life the coils are multiplied and the screws tightenod-the operator all the whie narrowly watching the countenance ot the helpless victim. Thus the two re- ssisssi thirty of forty nnutes-zthe execu- toner then slackens one coil, noticing at the same time whether any signs of life appear-ii so the col is resumed and TO. tained until the incarcerated wretch is com- psetaiy dead. 1he nocassIn snake is do- sroyed inthe same way.
 From hf Kuoruaiie Regis,er. + Ill. l.. WHITE.-We some weeks agc spoke oii this gentleman as being elnincnt- y qualified for the Presidency; we aeair, say that he Is the only individual in the nted States, we could support for that of flee without hesitation; and we sincerely hope that he will consent to let his name De placed before the American people for that oihee.n
 ssaAiil the Knoxville Register publish thls article, and let us know whether Judge White vii give his permission to our pia- cing his name before the people for tho Presidency. Ne are not alone in this de- sire, there are thousands, and we believe we n'ight say millions, in tbe Umted States who would greatly prefer him to any per- son now spoken oi..a iavests oaior. The hditor of the Register thinks that Judge White could not well authorize his name to be placed before the nation as a candidate for the Presidency. such course might be supposed to manifest in nm tbHst tor office and d desire for self elevation. he Judge has always been distinguished by the want of such ambition. and It constitutes, with us, one ol the strongest reasons why he should be sup- ported by the people. We arc satisfied be- yond the shadow O. doubt, that no man has ever before been proposed for the i'resi- deney, or for any other office, who has mad less agency, directly or indirectly, in eau slng himself to be recommended as :, s,,iita- ble person for that exalted station. Yet. we think we cannot be mistaken in st.ppos- Ing that Judge White will not feel al hl,er- 1 tY to refuse so dlsiingsished an office. when conferred upon nm, unsought, by ,he voluntary act of the American people. Should It be deemed advisable. as we .,ona II Will be, to present him before his coun- tfynen as a candidate for the Presidency. we shall, to the extent of our limited ab,ii- ty' most cordially cooperate with the IN- yEsTIGAroR and others who are now en-s gagged and who may hereafter join the good work of faithfully presenting the claims of our esllnabe and talented fellow citizen. to the American community for the highest office within their gift,

4 Female Laeysr lady by the name of Bradstreet has for some years beea prosecuting claims for lstld ,a the tio.ssh- borhood of Utlca, N. Y. with a zeal and ] ability which have won for her admiration 1 of the disinterested and the dread of the occupants of the property in dispute. She claims in right Of her grandfather, who held under grants, from the proprietary government. The estates are of great value, and embrace many of the most beautiful seats, ln and around the place above named. For many years she and her daughter occupied d hut on some of the wild lands comprised in the grants of her grandfather, with a view of retaining their legal possession. While thus situated their sufferngs were. great, as the neiehbors in order 10 rid themselves of such unwelcome residents, refused to sell them even the common Becessaf,es of fife. Indeed, ii Is said that their lives were frequently threat- ened, and more than once the humble do- micil was fired upon with the view of rousting theni Driven to the utmost ex- tremiiy, she offered to compromise the en- tire claim for $30,000; her proposition be- ing rejected, she presevered, and being too indigent to employ counsel, she prosecuted her suits herself, arguing dry law points before courts and juries, with a force and ingenuity which excited the admiration and wonder of bench and bar Her efforts have at last been successful; and uow, for soeth, the persons in possession, have of- fered much larger sum in the way of con- promise, than they had scornfnlly rejected, but she in her turn has spurned the tender, determined to trust to the justice of her cause and skill in the law, to assert and vindicate her rights. s.-Resistanc to what she conceived to be justly her due, the op- pression of those who withheld her prop. erty from her, and the indemitable courage of woman's heart, have made her not on ly a successful suitor, but profound eject ment lawyer and special pleader. The pleading in the various cases are said to be drawn up by herself, and to eyince per- feet knowledge of all the forms and intri- cacies of the most difficult art.
 The entire property claimed by her is said 10 be worth one million of dollars.

 The Rattle Snake finds superior foe in the deer and black snake. Whenever d buck discovers rattle snake in a situation which invites attack, he loses no time in preparing for battle. He make upto within Q or 12 feet of the snake-then leaps for ward and aims to sever the body of the snake with his sharp bifurcated hoofs. The frs, onset is most commonly success ful, but if otherwise, the buck repeats the trial until iie cuts tho snake iii twaiIi ,Fh lie rapidity and fatality of his skilful maneu- yre leave but slight chance for it's victim either to escape or to inject its poison into- his more alerI antagonist. The black snake Is also more than equal competi- tor against the rattle snake. Such is its celerity of motion not only ia running, but
