Mr. EdItor--I wa. in Cauo,Iton yesterday,
and Tor the first time, heard Of the abuse which
the Editor OF the Pioneer bestowed Oh another
individual, for a,y last .ettor The only object
oI ny last communication, was attained in de-
leading the character of Col. Hemingway, from
false charges made against him, by that paper,
and my only error has been, that | noticed an
EMISSION Of that kind from that source at all
With your leave, will corrcc some mistakes,
into which the editor has fallen, in his notice OF
me.
The editor vas il error when he SAID, abe had
his name under the mast head'' OF the article
asaInst Justice, or any other "head'' Of his paper
unless he imagmes the words IA coDard,y sc0uTl-
dreI" IS a sufficient description OF his person.
He Is in erro in suppo.ug that | will ever
condescend to notice him Or his paper slang after
this explanation.
lie aud his B,own,l friend, are IN error in
surprising that they can make Just. &c" do an
thing, but treat with contempt such creatures as
they are.
lie IS in error in supposing that "Justice" ever
felt himself agrieyed or alluded to by any of his
editorials.
lie is also in error in al his allnsons to the
supposed author of 'Jusice," as every liberal
minded man is aware, who is at all acquainted
with the gentleman alluded to. Any gentleman

CERTIFICATE OF JUDGE PATTERSON
HEREBY CERTIFY that my daughter has been
afflicted with sick headache for the space Of about
90 years,--the attacks occurring once in about
two weeks, frequently lasting "a hours, during
which time the paroxysms have been so severe,
as apparently soon to deprive her of life. And af-
fer having tried almost all other remedies in vain,
have been induced as last resort to try Spohn's
Headache Remedy as sold by you; and to the
great disappointment and Joy Of herself and all her
friends, found very material relief from the first
dose of the medicine. She has followed up the
directions 9TH the article and in every case when
an attack as tn eatened has found immediate re-
lief, until she is near permanently cured. The
attacks are now very seldom, and disappear al
most Immediately after taking the quanutNdi-
rected. A hope that others may be benefited by
the use of this truly invaluable medicine has in
duced me to send you the above, and remain your
ob't servant, JEHU PATTERSON

From tie Uinchesfer Republican.
THE TRADE-PLAISTER, FLOUR,
&c.

The new policy adopted by the President
and Directors Of our Railroad Company, in
reducing the freight upon Plaster, increas-
ing its motive power, and using energetic mea-
sures to place the whole line of the road in
good order, must have the most happy effect,
as well upon the interest of trade here as up
on the prosperity Of the road.
The new locomotive-the President-pur-
chased few days since in Philadelphia, and
now upon the road, performs magnifcently,
and is capable of taking one thousand barrels
Of Flour to the Ferry at trip, and cores
ponding upward freight; and the public are
therefore now assured, that there is not now
the slightest danger of one days delay in the
ascending or descending trade.
The Board have, also, we are informed,
purchased large quantity of timber from NJ
Carolina, which is being laid, and the most
active efforts are making to renew the whole
line Of the road.
TO carry out the policy Of the Board, the
freight On that important article, Plaster, is
reduced to 81 the ton; and we are informed
that tits explicitly understood that, after the
18th of this month. when the new tariff on
Plaster takes effect, that commodity will be
sold in Winchester at seren dollars per ION
so that the farmer who has heretofore paid
from 80 so to $40 so per ton for his Plaster,
will purchase it at 81.
We are also informed that negotiation is
now pending between our Company and the
Baltimore Railroad Company, to run the train
of cars, as loaded in Baltimore, through on
the same day to Winchester, and so to run the
freight, as loaded in Winchester, through to
Baltimore on the same day, in the same cars
the only change to be the change of loco
motive power at the Ferry.
. These various matters, it is believed, will
radically improve our trade; and it is hoped
that the public will see on the part ofthe
President and Directors an ardent desire and
the public interest, to meet fully the public
and to merit public patronage.

.Another British Outraee.-The brig A. f

.another British Outragc.-The brig A. E.
of Baltimore, Captain G. F. Driscoll, was
boarded off Cabinda by British officer with
two boats crews, consisting of fifteen men,
and taken possession of, which they kept for
fifteen days, breaking open the lading, and
eating and drinking the best Of every thing
they could find, and behaving in the most in
sulting and outrageous manner. They car
ried the vessel to the River Congo, where
they remained several days, robbing the ne
gro canoes that passed, taking from them
their Deeds, looking glasses, paddles, and ev-
cry little thing, leaving the poor negroes no
alternative but to swim to shore, and abandon
their canoes to the tide. They took the brig
thence to Cabinda, where they found
the British brig of war Persian, Lieutenant
Symmes, who came aboard with an additional
boats crew, and commenced breaking out
the cargo, without asking to see the briggs
papers, or paying any attention to Captain
Driscoll's protestations, and after OBTAINING
her four days, and taking what they pleased,
left the brig at liberty. This is Capt. DIS.
statement, and if true, is certainly case of
great outrage, which our Government will be
bound to take notice of i'm the most prompt
and energetic manner. 1t is not whit better
than piracy, and the honorable plea that these
frequent searches are made with view TO the
suppression Of the slave trade, finds beaut-
full illustration in the conduct of the ruffians
towards the poor defenceless negroes, whom
chance threw in their way at the mouth of
Congo.

A YANKEE ADMIRAL.

1t is stated in n. Hampshire paper that a
former citizen Of that State, Tho. F.. Will
liams, has become an Admiral, Count Zin-
zechof, in the Russian Navy:
1t seems that he was in early youth clerk
in a store at Meredith Bridge. Being natu-
rally of generous, bold and ardent tempera-
ment, no sooner had he served out bis time,
than he went TO visit a relation in Portland
for the parpose Of seeing ship, and ifpossi-
Bile, of obtaining employment in one. He
at length succeeded; after enc or two yoya-
ges he was taken dangerously i'll at st. Pc
tersburg, and upon his recovery, through the
aid Of the American Consul. obtained a berth
on board Of Russian merchant vessel, as
privileged seaman. After prosperous voyage
on their return home the vessel was attacked
by piraticai orsair;--owing to the bravery
and skill Of Williams the pirates were beaten
oil and the vessel arrived at her destined pof.
IN safety. The Emperor Alexander hearing
oil this brilliant exploit, was so much pleased
W 18th the bravery end good conduct Of Will
iams, as to send for him to visit his palace;
the result Of the interview was his appoint
ment as senior Midshipman in the Russian
Navy. From this he has risen to his present
rank. He has been married for some years
TO beautiful and accomplished Russian lady.

NATIONAL. RANK

AS one of many evidences of the fact that
the necessity of IA National Bank is daily inl-
pressing itself upon the public mind, and of
consequence winning converts to its consti-
nationality, we may refer to the course of the
Milledgeville (Geo.) Journal, one of the lea
ding State Rights presses of the South, ofthe
straitest sect. 1t demands that some remedy
shall be speedily applied to the evils now ex-
listing in the currency exchange on N. York
being from IL to 90 per cent. premium at that
place-a pregnant fact, exhibiting the tax now
levied on the South for the benefit of the
North, as every cent paid as premium upon
exchange unquestionably demonstrating
the inadequacy of the Sub-Treasury, which
has now been long enough in operation to
eqnaity-and showing TO all who have eyes
to see, that the South, above every other sec
ton of the Union, is vitality interested in the
establishment Of some fiscal scheme which
will equalIze exchanges, and relieve it from
this oppressive tribute to Northern capital
ists.-Tirg.

AZ The Richmond Enquirer, strange to
say, "doubfs'' the 'consfitutionaHty" Of Pres
ident TyLER's recommendation of day OF
fasting, humiliation and prayer, in reference
to the death Of Gen. HARRISON. "True," il
remarks, he does not attach to the recommen-
dation "the seal Of tile United States, nor The
attestation Of his Secretary" yet it has "aA
Tie effect Of a proclamation"
We are really surprised at the Enquirer's
perplexity on so grave and palpable ques-
ton, and can only account for it by suppos-
ing it to be one Of those Authorizations into
which great minds, accustomed to soaring
among the clouds, som etimes fall, in regard
TO plain, common sense matters.-Presiden.
TYLER can certainly find no more warrant for
the act, in the Constitution, than he does for
ealing his dinner.

THE SUGAR BEET.

The Editor Of the N. Y. American, who
''daboles little in farming" gives the result
of his own experiments in the culture of this
root. We give the result in his own
words:-
"a patch of three quarters of an acre was
twice ploughed very deep, and very richly
manured with stable manure, after having
been well lined Zone hundred bushels to the
acre) the preceding year. The seed were
planted by hand in drills, and when the plants
were up they were thinned out by hand, so
as to leave them about foot and half in the
drill. The ground was kept tolerably free of
weeds till the plants had attained consdera-
BILE growth, after which they Were not much
attended to. The beets Were gathered during
the first week of October, and the produce
was 600 Misunderstanding Ii tons Co.,
The hogs and cows eat them greediIy, either
raw or boiled. The value, however, of these
vegetables for mich cows is very great. 1t
improves both the quantity and quality Of tho
milk, without imparting to it any disagreed.

O-A society has been formed in a,is town
auxiliary to tho National Society of Litera-
turo and Science, at New York, the object Of
which, we understand. is, mainly, to encour-
age and extend the circulation of approved
Periodicals, by furnishing them to village as
sociations at a cheaper rate than they can be
procured in the ordinary mode from publish
ers. A lecture or address was delivered by
Mr.. Dixon, an agent of tho parent society,
on Friday evening, but we had not the pleas
uro of hearing it.

OFFICIAL ABUSES.

The present Administration appear deter
mined to probe to the bottom the official abu-
ses and corruptions which have crept into the
various branches fthe public service within
the last twelve years.
A commission has been appointed, consist
ing Of Hon. George Pondexter, of Mi, AL
fred Kelly, Esq. of Ohio, and David Russell,
Esq. of the State of New York, to investigate
the management of the New York Custom
house, under Jesse Hoyt, with especial refer
ence to the fraudulent passing of goods, and
the stealing of goods from the public stores.
An agent has likewise been sent to Nor
folk, to look into the management of the civil
departments of the Navy Yard, in that vicin-
ity. A correspondent of the Richmond
Wing, gives us an inkling of what may be
disclosed in that quarter.
NORFOLK, May 18th, IS4I.
The nibbling crew were taken by surprise
here few days ago, by the arrival from
Washington, of Commissioner charged by
the Secretary of the Navy with an investiga-
ton into the affairs of Mr.. Navy Agent 10y
all's office and of several others of the Spoils-
men.-An iceberg has come over the slick,
well-fed ofice-holders and their political all
lies-such shivering at the thoughts of
Salt River. Oh, the hard hearts of these
British Wings! Parson Fisk raves and rants
like ga mad bull" (says Broughton,) which
induces the belief that poor Tobias will here
after be considered Martyred Saint in COM
parison to the old wharf rats in this region,
who have been rafting Uncle Sam for the last
ten years to the tune Of thousands street talk
puts down immense sums squandered on po-
litical favourities in the W ay of paper, blanks
and twine.' On the other side Of the river,
the WORKING MANS friends have been friendly
enough to take ONLY ONE-HALF of the dali
ly wages paid the Mechanics in the Navy
Yard-this game is SAID to have been play
ed by more than one fthe Heads of the Me-
chanical Departments. Richie would shed
an ocean Of sympathetic tears il the Com
mander of The Yard, or the Secretary of the
Navy, should turn out of office one of these
most disinterested and honest friends Of the
working man. These fellows have had long
food-tide--but the ebb is now at hand, and
they will soon find themselves high and
dry. Yours.
