REvEvUE CUTTER REvoLT.-On Mon
day last, eleven men belonging to the
Revenue Gutter Hamilton, were taken
by the Marshal of the District from that
vessel, and brou ght to this city, charged
by the officer in command, with nsnbor-
dination and mutny. Captain Howard,
commander Of the cutter, was absent on
leave, and the charge OF the cutter de-
volved on Lieut.. Scott. The men char
ged with mutiny, were examined before
Judge Davis on Monday, and committed
to Jail to take their trial at the L. S.
Circuit Court, to be holden here in Oc-
tober. We understand that the men did
not deny having refused TO do duty, but
one or more stated in mitigation, or as a
reason for their offence, that they had
not received wages for the support of
their wives and families, for the last ten
months. The statement, we are told,
was uncontradicted, and it would seem
that there must be great fault somewhere.
Com. Elliott was applied to by the
Lieut.. Commander of the cutter for as
sistance, which he promptly rendered.

a most important indication of the feel

numerous, bu. most respectable popular
bodies ever assembled in the United
States land what is more important
still, it was made up to a considerable
extent Of men heretofore among the
most jealous adherents Of Gen. Jackson.
The presiding officer, Governor King,
has been among the warmest, as he GER
tainly was among the ablest, friends ot
the present Administration in the State.

Mr.. Gains Briggs, Of Castieton, (Nt.)
while passing through his field n few
days since, received upon his bare an
kle, a severe bite from n rattle snake
He killed the snake, and then proceeded
home, in the full belief that ne must die.
The Vermont Statesman says--"Doctor
Woodward was called as soon as Possi-
BILE, and although the case was extreme
ly doubtful, he is now in fair way to
recover. Much credit is due to MIR.
Briggs wife, who manifested presence
of mind, and promptitude Of action, quite
uncommon. 1t appears that on ascer-
tanning the situation Of her husband, she
applied her mouth to the wound and con-
tinued sucking it until the arrival Of the
Doctor, without which, Notwithstanding
skilrml medical aid, it is supposed he
must have died. The snake was found,
which measur ed about four feet, and had
three rat,les."

arising to liberty from large standing ar

ding for the common Defence and lastly,
that if our young citizens were commits

first instance, as they must be if this in
sfitution be abolished, they could not oh

knowledge as the Cadets, while their
