nation of his political friends, we find,
will be an advantage to him. We were
surprised at the insnuation conveyed in
the words here alluded to. as we con-
ceived it our imperious duty to publish
the vote of the delegation of Virginia,
on this important question.
" The official paper, the Globe, in

New HAMPsHIRE.--The election for
members Of Congress, &c. took place in
this state few days ago, and as was ex-
pected, resulted in the election of five
Jackson Representatives to the next
Congress. WILLIAM BADGER (Jackson)

from the Washington Mirror of Saturday
last:
LATEST On DITs IN WASHINGTON.
Amos Kendall, Esq. to be Post Master

the Appeal. lately defunct) to be Fourth
Auditor-W. T. Barry, Esq. to 60 out

o. The appropriation of 2 600, 900 dol
lars by the state of Mary land, for the com.
pletion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal to Cumberland, is highly gratifying
to the people in this section, particularly
to those who are engagedin farming and
commercial pursuits; but, we should have
been still better pleased it our own state
had granted what was asked for. There
was, however, but single vote wanting
in the Senate, and we have good reasons
for believing, that an appropriation will
be made next winter, which will supply
any deficiency which may then be known
to exist.
ARREST OF MuRpERERs.. I'VE learn
from the Florida Courier, that the father
and two sons by the name of King. who,
assisted by others, Committed the horrid
massacre at st. Mary's (Georgia) upon
the family ofa Mrs. Casey, have been
captured near Jacksonville FLORIDA by
the Sheriff of Duval County. There was
found upon them pocket pistol, loaded
with powder and three balls (; besides
which, each of them was armed with
good knife. They however made no re.
sistance, on being taken into custody.
They were to be sent, under guard, TO
the State of Georgia for trial. The other
accomplices in the Massacre were ar
rested soon after the crime was commit
ted, and are confined in Jefferson { Geor-
gia) JAIL
0 A contemporary observes from an
article in the New Orleans Bee we gath
er that laws have been enacted by the
Legislature of Louisiana against gamb-
ling. They decree that those who are
convicted of keeping gambling houses or
tables shall be subjected to Imprisonment;
and that those who lose at gambling may
institute suit against the winners as if
the property lost were debt due. The
Editor of the Bee thinks that those en-
actments might be rendered more effec-
tive by imposing heavy fine on the of
fender and awarding half of it to the in
former. Laws on the subject should be
framed SO as to give inducement to
detection. The vice hides itself in dark
corners: it requires searching process
to drag il to view. The moral sense Of
every community is strongly against it
and will bear any one out in the most
rigorous prosecution of offenders.
THE PIRATEs..-The Boston Traveller
of Tuesday srys.--"The pirates, who
were sentenced 10 he executed toamor-
row, have been reprieved for months
from the LIST inst. to allow time to obtain
documents, which it is thought will throw
some light on their case. 1t is said the
prisoners are indebted to the influence of
a lady ofthis city, the wife of a COUNSEL
lor, who proceeded to Washington to
make intercession in their behalf.
On this paragraph, the Washington
Globe remarks J.:
