BUFFALO.


Every body remembers the famous ad-
venture Of :. Capt. Scott aud the Coon"
and the world is we'll acquainted with the
Captains wonderful exploits as hunter,
but an accidental ride that he once took
on buffalo, yet remains to be told. We
don't vouch for the story, but it is 50 good
that 1t ought to be true if it is not.
The Captain was hunting on the banks
of the Arkansas, when the report of his
rifle startled three buifalos that were drink
! ing below the steep bank. lie did not
see the animals, nor they bin, as they
rushed up narrow rayne 50 suddenly

struck him as he turned to get out OF his

was to be sored and tralnpIed to death on
that instant.

in which case the story would have been

One Of the most snappash and dogtsh
controversies we ever remember to have
witnessed, is now coming otf' between
Mr.. BrownIow, of the Jonesborough
Wing, and Mr.. Haynes, of the Senti
mel, of that place. In their eagerness to
use each other up, they have not only ex-
hausted the whole vocabulary of oppro-
blum ami indecency, but have brought to
view all the mean acts land you know
men are sometimes guilty of meanness) of
which either have been guilty during
their whole lives! And both of them are
preachers of the gospel, too, and profess
to be governed by the meek and holy die
tates OF religion What a vile prostitu-
ton We know not who WAS the aggres-
sor. nor eveu.the origin ofthe dispute; but
it does seem to US, after reading their
respective defences, that both are in fault,
and the matter might be discontinued
with great proprety, aud without the
least reflection of disgrace upon either
party. Without any reference to the
cause that provoked the first attack, the
concession might,be made on both sides.
that their passions have swayed them ra=
Their than their jud gments, and that they
have used language which in their cooler
moments, would have been avoided. Such
a concession, we think, would be both ho-
norable and just. Would itn not, brethren !!

McD. sis an Abolitionist,: and as
proof, reference is made to "a speech he
(Nlr. McD.) delivered some tame ago, in
the Va. Legislature" How long ago
was that speech delivered? Was it mol
prior to the year l93S?-if, indeed, such
language was used at all by Mr.. Med.
Does not the editor of the Journal know,
that prior to the Southampton insurrec-
ton, several Abolition societies were
established in this State?-And that after
that event, the people changed their
minds upon the subject? Such are the
facts in the case. 1t is quite natural and
proper that this change should have taken
place for they were compelled to de-
fend their right of property in slaves a.

of the north ;-and in defending it. be-

him an Abolitionist As yet we have
seen no such evidence adduced by those
who have labored to produce such an i'm
precision upon the public mind ;-and,
until such testimony as we can rely upon
is brought forward, we shall continue to
believe, with those who are personally ac-
