ENERAL ANDREW JACKSON

Much has been said of General Jackson's dspo-
sition to disregard the laws of his country, when
they thwart his purposes. There is one scene of
his life which his enemies studiousy conceal II is
the court scene in New Orleans, where Judge Hall
imposed upon him a fine of : 1000 for contempt
To save the city, he had found necessary to re-
sort to martial law. Although rumors of peace had
reached him, he knew not but they were put forth
by the enemy, for the purpose of lullng him to Sc
curity for though dreadfuy defeated, they were
still lowering the coast with force much sron-
ger than his. He deemed it necessary to maintain
all his precautions until those rumors were confirmed
by the most authentic intelligence He had arres-
ted a Frsnclman for violation of Martial law, and
Judge Hall of the United States Court, issued a
writ of HABEAs CORPUS, and attempted to rescue him
from custody. The General had the Judge arrested
and sent beyondhis lines.
But authentic news of peace were received two
days after, and martial law abolished.-Thc judge
returned and resumed his functions. He imme-
diaely summoned Gen. Jackson to appear before
him, to answer for contempt, in not obeying the
writ, and for imprisoning the Judge. The General
prepared a statement of facts i'm vindicaton, which
the Judge refused to hear, but made the rule abso-
lutte. Ii was returnabe on the 3lst of January.
The people were much excited in favor of their he
roc leader, and crowded the hall of Justice. How
did Gen. Jackson behave Did he go to the court
at the head of his officers, in the pride and pomp Of
war Did he. with his sword and epauletts. in the
proud gait of an exulting conqueror No-cvery
thing military is land aside, he comes unattended. and

The murder of Perry was the worst, but not the
only act of violence that sprang from the abomina-
bic recommendation of the Bank party in Philadel-
phia to attend the polls en- masse, and carry the
election by force. The Pennsylvania of Wednes-
day gives the following statements
More of tie Stleho-Yesterday afternoon, in
KenslDgton, Jackson Democrat attacked in
the open street, by Bank rufan, and wounded
with Spanish knife. The rufian was brandishing
his weapon, and loudly declaring his intention to
Kill any Jackson man who came in his way. The
individual wounded had given no offence, but was
unfortunately known to the stabber, who rushed at
him, aiming deadly blow with the knife. The
weapon was knocked up, but entered below the left
eye of the intended victim, infctng severe wound.
The Banke arrested and bound over for triol.

CHARMING A sNAKE.-In the morning of the Sd
Iof December awokc early, when was much
surprised by my friend Lieut.. Baillie calling out,
"a snake a snake! look at the snake!' we all
stared at him, lying in his hammock, and to our
astonishment, beheld monstrous serpent twisted
round the rope which supported his hammock, with
its head at some distance above my friends darling
out its forked tongue, and examining him as he lay
stretched below Lie STILL" cried the fiscal, she
wont hurt you; and calling in two or three OF the
natives, he pointed it out to them. One of these
men advancing towards it, caught its eye with his
own; the aimal now appeared to move its whole
body with fear pleasure. The native stepped
backwards without turning the sight of his eye
from the fierce orb of his enemy; and, as he kept
backing, the snake with its head steadily advancing
gradually uncoiled his body from the rope round
which it was twined At length its whole body,
trailing on the ground, moved slowly along after
this coloured man-eye fixed upon eye-unth
youth, making a dash from behind bush, in an
instant hattened the head of this dangerous mon
ster with one blow of his club; and although the
body still undulated like the waves of the sea, 1t
was perfectly harmless being able to seize with
its mouth. They Immediately hauled HIM up to the
branch of a tree, and cooks i'm Europe serve
an eel, they skinned him whilst the poor animal was
writhing in the agones of pain. This Snake was
called the Libare, and measured 10 feet and half
in length.-CoL ST. Glars residence in the West In
