A SUB-TREAsURER TRAPPER.-The edit.
or of the Southern Banner tells US of a wag.
gish friend of his who 'desires to be APP
pointed Sub-Treasnrer Trapper, with exclu-
sive privileges of setting traps on the banks
of the Sabine river, with the right to receive
from the Government only ten dollars head
for all the runaway sub-treasurers he may
catch. He thinks that under the patronage
of the Government, he will be enabled to
realize handsome fortune in few years.
In the event of his appointment, he pledges
himself to the support of the Sub Treasury
scheme, and is willing to pay bonus of one
thousand dollars for the privilege" Wejoin
with our friend of Holly Springs in recon-
mending the applicant and his project to the
favorable notice of Amos Kendall and his
magnanimous deputy Martin Van Buren,

vass with the utmost vigor; Of his success
we do not entertain shadow ofdoubt; from
every portion of the state we have the mos,
favorable accounts; in almost every county
the Wings are organising, and preparing to
give the locofocos hard fight. In Mar.
shall, the "empire couuty," we are told that
already the contest is waxing warm, and
our friends entertain strong hopes ofcarry-
ing this heretofore strong hold of ocofocoism
Union, energy, and concert, is all that is
to insure us glorious and trium-l
plant victory next fall. With it, we shall
elect our whole ticket by 5000 majority
without it, we are certainly beaten. Mr.
Davis, we learn, has made the most favora-
BILE impression wherever he has been.

RETRlBUTIoN FOR MURDER The Amer.
ican vessels of war, the Columbia and John
Adams, Commodore Read, appeared off the
coast OF Sumatra to demand of the Malavs
the murderers of Captain Wilkins and his
crew, OF the ship Eclipse of Salem. Thew
refused to deliver them, when the Comma
dore took instant measures for vengeance.
Qualla Battoo was bombarded ten hours. on
the 23d December. One fort was DESTROY ed
and the other was considerably injured
On the LIST of January, Muckie was burnt
by the Columbia and John Adams, After
cannonadlng the place, four hundred men
were landed from the ships, and the town
and tort destroyed with considerable
quantity OF pepper. Neither of the ships
sustained any loss. The Malays all retreat
cd INTO the jungle. No part of the property
stolen from the Eclipse, was recovered.

ATTACK ON THE SHERIFF OF WAR;,

ATTACK ON THE SHERIFF OF WARREN
CouNrY.-On Tuesday last, Deputy Sheriff
Stafford proceeded to Big Black to levy an
execution on the property of William Folkes
Mr.. Folkes had long threatened to kill the
sheriff or any officer who entered his pre-
misses to distrain his property; and some time
ago drove off 4 constable. Mr.. Stafford ar
rived with double-barrelled sho. gun and
two pistols, resolved to execute the law, re-
paired with two unarmed assistants to the
gin house, where Folke's cotton was stored.
FoIkes heard Of his arrival, and sent him
word that he intended to kill him as soon as
he loaded his gun and eat his dinner; and
in accordance with his threat, he was soon
seen marching to the gin house with his gun
on his shoulder. Stafford saw him coming,
and to avoid exposing his assistants to dan
ger, he marched out into the field and order
cd Folkes, at distance of forty yards, not
to advance further. Folkes Immediately
levelled his gun and took aim; but his cap
burst, while Stafford at the same instant
lodged several buck shot in the arm and
side of his assailant. Folkcs Immediately
commenced applying another cap in order
to take another fire, but when he saw Stat
ford take aim with the other barrel, he Com
menced a retreat. Stafford pursued and
caught him, and disarmed him of his gun, a
we'll as two pistols, and knife which he had
in his bosom; and after conquering the out
law, he returned to town with the property
to satisfy the execution.
After conquering Folkes, and convincing
him that the law in Warren county "must
have its courses" Mr.. Stafford sat down with
his antagonist, and while his aids were load
ing the Wagons, and gathering up the goods
and chattels, the two had a long aud friendly
chat on politics and matters and things in
general.
1t is believed by many that Mr.. Folkes is
deranged on some subjects. While he keeps
his creditors out of their money, he has kept
his cotton for two years, declaring that he
will never sell it till he gets twenty cents a
pound for it. He has some very strange and
peculiar notions on the prices of cotton, and
declares that the merchants and sheriffs are

DAVIS AND THOMPSON, in Chickasaw
County The Mississippi Int Iigences, in
reference to the speeches lately made by
these gentlemen, says that Mr.. Thompson
could not hold MIR. Davis to the point. Let
us see what Mr.. Thompson calls the point
Mr.. Thompson contends that the democratic
doctrine is-to abide BY instruction: and that
the great difference between the two parties
is now pending upon that principle. sWell,'
said Mr.. Davis, in his answer to Mr., Fhomp-
son, you now say you are in favor of Martin
Van Buren, fer President. Suppose the
state at the ensuing November election
fshould instruct you to vote for Henry Clay,
will you obey the Instruction. Mr.. Thomp-
son replied, he would not-but would vacate
IBIS seat in Csngfess, and leave the State and
FITS interest or weight unrepesented until
another election could be held. This is
what the lntelligencer calls-holding down
TO the point! 1t is poor rule that will not
work both ways. And instead of Mr.. Davis
lying from the point it is Mr.. Thompson
That completely upsets his own doctrine.
He, it seems, is determined, whether in.
Eklncted or not, to vote for Van Buren,, right
d wrong-and to set aside what he calls the
democratic doctrine, for men. And yet,
xhereyer he goes, he proclaims himself to
pc democrat-an advocate of Jefersonian
pEMocRAcY! Charming consistency!
We are not personally acquainted with
Mr. Thompson, but we suppose he will hunt
put some other point before he meets Mr.:
Davis again. We, however, advise him,
