A BAcKwooDs HERoINE.-A friend, writing
to us from Helena, Ark, under date ofthe 10th
inst. says: "Last week Mrs. MBride of
Monroe county, widow lady, was informed
by one of her children, that the dogs had treed
a panther within half mile of the house,
Having no ammunition, she sent to neigh
boris and procured powder and lead, moulded
some bullets, loaded her gun. and proceeded to
the place and brought down her game at the
first FIRE. The report Of the gun started up
another panther near at hand which ran up a
tree within half mile of the other. She again
loaded her gun and killed the second also at
the first fire. from the top Of one of the tallest
trees. What would your city ladies' say to
this? l happened taere the same day and re-
.ceived the statement from herself."-Louis.

RUSSIAN PAPER MoNRY.--No money is seeh'
in circulation here, all is paper; blue, red, and
white notes, torn and dirty, representing fye,.
ten, and twenty five roubles, &C.; they are the
only medium Of change, which never varies.
an attempt to circulate foreign gold coin would
be attended with great loss, as you would new
er obtain its real value. There exists law TO
prevent this paper money from being carried
out of the country, and, what may appear par
adoxical, anothefto confscate it if afterwards
attempted to be introduced again. The rou-
bic which in former times, was worth from
thirty-six TO forty pence English, is now only
worth ten pence nits paper shape. We have
seen the time in England, when one pound
note was not intrnsically worth more than
fourteen shillings; but here the depreciation,
owing to the enormous issue of paper, is far
more serious, the silver roubles being equal to
three and half or four roubles of the latter.
This paper money has one advantage, that it
never varies in value, but the original silver
coin fluctuates duly, and is, therefore, almost
entirely driven out of circulation in the COM
mon purposes Of barter. Raik's City efMe

A POLITICIAN BY TRADE.--Many years
since, gentleman Of distinguished standing
in society," then holding the highest execn-
tive Office in one of the Eastern states, had oc-
casion to pass several days at one Of the prin-
cipal towns upon the Hudson river. During
his stay an election occurred, and being at
leisure, he amused himself with observing his
fellow citizens in the exercise ofthe highest
prerogative of freemen. Among those who
we're taking spirited part during the canvass,
this gentleman's attention was called to one
who seemed peculiarly forward, unprincipled
and successful. Hs was Of light dapper fg-
ure, forid complexion, sandy hair, with a
spice of dandyism mingled with vulgarity in
his carriage and address; smooth, Insinuating,
artfu, humble and full OF fattery to his supe-
rlors, active and watchful. At one time he
might be seen leading staggering Dutchman
to the polls, and thrusting ticket into his
hands that he was too blind or too ignorant to
read; at another drinking and carousing with
a knot of drunken Irishmen, whose votes he
was soliciting for his candidate, and again
talking loudly about Aristocracy and the
rights of the people, seizing upon the prejudi-
ces of his auditors and moulding their feelings
and pass 9ns to suit his purposes. The gen.
tcman was constrained to inquire the name
of this cockerei demagogue. 1t was Martin
Van Buren,! And here was the school in which
Martin Van Buren, commenced the trade of a
politician, trade which he has followed with
tenacity worthy of a better cause, and which
has eventually raised him to a position that
shoul dnever be occupied by amere political as
pirant. He is the first Of the politco presidents:
may he be the last.

SPLENDID SUCCESS OF THE PAT
RIOTS.

The news from Prescott given below is ex-
citing and interesting, confirming oil the par
tculars which we gave last evening. The
Patriots mustbe rdcued no longer. They
have covered themselves, and their cause with
glory.
IMPORTANT FROM CANADA.
We learn from gentleman who came into
the city this morning from the eust, that the
Patriots have been successful in the three bat
ties at Prescott. The last battle being one un-
paraleled in the annals of history. The Pat.
riots, who numbered only Isl, were in wind
mill about mile from the town. On Thurs.
day last, the royalists transported q SO poun-
der from Kingston to Prescott, and commenced
to batter down the windmill, but before they
could bring their gun to bear upon it, Col. Van
Schultz, the Polander, with SO others, rushed
upon them and captured the enemy's gun.
This heroic action was done in the presence
of 5000 armed royalists. After loosing their
gun, the royalists withdrew their men and
boats, and have proceeded up the Lake, proba-
bly, to endcavour to quell rising, in the west
crn part of the Province.
Up to Thursday night, it was impossible for
the Canadians or their American friends to
render them any as'is tance. Ere this, how
ever, 1t is expected that they have been
joined by strong reimbursement. .--Rochcster
