VOLCANO was got by Slockholder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid by Ratray, Of whom Mr. J. C, Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, aud that she was . a friend to poor man in strange country CT losing on all his other horses, he could, with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid Oaks by imported Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags of her day in Virginia, his g. grandam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by im- ported Shayk, g. g. dam by Rockingham, g. g. g. g. dam by Gallant, g. g. g. g.g dam by True Whig, g. g. g. g.g.g g. dam by Reguius.
 Of Stockholder, VOLCANO,S sire, it is unnecessary to say aught; he is too we'll known as racer and stallion, to require the prop of long pedigree. It may not he amiss, however, to state, that he was got by old sir Archy, and his dam by I'm ported Citizen, the best blood that Ameri ca can boast. Ratray, the sire of Yolca nos dam, was by the imported horse Cliff den; his dam by Fitzpartner; his grandam Araminna, who was got by Brimmer out of MT. Peyton Randolph's celebrated mare Lovely Lass.
 Imported Spread Eagle, was got by Vol unteer, his dam by High Flyer, grandam by Engineer, out of the dam of Bay Mal- t3n and Treasurer; she was got by Cade, out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Ira weller.
 Spread Eagle is unpopular with many sportsmen; but 1 would ask, what horse has a better pedigree ,and what imported horse 
 enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the Maid -of-the Oaks, Paragon, 4 d. cline, Red=EYe, and EIeden's Floretta; all winners of severe four mile races, con- tending with the best horses of Virginia. Fioretta made better time over the Wash ington course than was ever made before or since, beating. in three heats, Top Gal lant, Oscar, First Consul, and another; running each heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in seven minutes and fifty two seconds.

o'clock A. M. the English brig St. Lucia,
Capt: Rawling. trading from Liverpool, arri
we'd from the Leeward. with Mr. and Mrs.
HankissOn. and one woman, who saved her
life by getting under the house. when the
ruthless h~nds were passing like destroying
angel, through the place. The Intelligence
received from Mr.. HI. pointed out the pr"pri-
ely Of adopting some method, that would en-
able the Vice Agent to supply Edna with
provisions. To do which, as the stock on
hand was small, it was necessary to reduce
the number of men. intended to he sent, to
fifteen, who sailed on the 18th for Edna.
On the 18th the Brig Ruth, Capt. Taylor.
arrived from Little Bassa, bringing Mr.. Pin
ney. who at the time Of the massacre, was a
bout 10 miles up the river. at 2 place selected
for Missionary location. The intelligence
BY Mr.. Pinney. is still more painful. A let
ter from DR.. w. Whitehurst, Esq. at Edna.
written subsequently to Mr.. Viewers, states
the number killed at 81. in addition to some
that have since died, Of wounds. From this
number, however, must be deducted the three
brought up in the St. Lucia. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hankisson owe their preservation to the f.
deity of Krooman, who protected them
while the merciless savages were dealing death
to all around them. AS soon as an OppOrtu-
nifty offered, Krooman conducted them to
his own town; whence they were taken of
by Capt. Rawling, and kindly brought to this
place. What was the immediate cause ofthe
attack, we have not been able to learn. bot we
have 40 hesitancy in believing, that the small
lest show Of military preparation would have
prevented the attack. But the principle on
which the Colony was founded, is one, that
forbids every thing like military preparation,
consequently. they fell an easy prey to the
vI'laInOus savages. ........... ...
