a Nan Killed by an, Elephamt.-We
learn by gentleman who came pas
senger last evening On the steamer
Princess, from Baton Rouge, that the
large male elephant Of Messrs. Hop
kin's & Co.'S. ,nenagerle, on Saturday
morning killed the person who had been
for some length Of time employed toI
take charge of it. 1t appears that the
two elephants and camel had been
sent in advance Of the other animals,
en- route to Clinton, the female elephant
and the camel chained together
When about four miles from Baton
Rouge, the male elephant refused TO
cross small bridge, the keeper, who
was on foot, procured a horse, Zone
which the elephant was not accustom-
ed to- for the purpose Of driving II O.
vor, and in attempting to mount, the
horse shyed, and threw the man in the
road. The elephant Immediately rush
ed upon him, caught him upon lis tasks,
The tpsIs frequently passing through
his body. Il then carried the body
from the road to the woods, tossing il in
the air at intervals, until it fell between
two fallen trees, which saved it fIom
further violence. The Infatuated ami
ma! then returned to the road, where
the female elephant and camel had been
chained toa tree by another keeper, and
rushed upon them his ,uslls passing
through the camel, knocking tie fe-
male and breaking the chain in two
( The enraged animal then made of, to-
wards the woods, carrying the camel
by its trunk, and throwing it at inter-
walls in the air with lis tusks. The
other portion Of the caravan now com
ing to the bridge, the elephant returned
and made demonstrations of an attack
upon it, when fire arms were brought
into requisition. A number of shots
! were fred upon ii, but without any eff
feet. Word was then semitic theU. S.
Garrison, and some thirty or forty o.
| the soldiers were sent to despatch it
with their muskets. The neighbors
also turned out with their rifles and
shot guns, and some fifty Or sixty shots
were fred into, or rather upon him, for
the balls were frequently hattened upon
striking, and fell 10 the ground. AT
length it was determined upon to send
to the garrison for field piece to des-
patch him, when one of the keepers
| procuring spear, mounted a horse
and succeeded in wounding the ele-
plant until he caused It 10 scream with
pain and finally to yield to subsection,
when it was driven off with the balance
Of the animals. This is the same AMI
imal which killed one of its keepers
some two or three years ago, at Algi-
ers, opposite this city, and was only
stayed from any further mischief after
fourteen shots had been fired into it

The surrounding country is rising

several of them, ofconsiderablc length

had thepriyiIege voted me Of speaking

This bill was to prevent the introduce

A MILLERITE FANATIC.

A notorious Mllerite, called Elder
Dammon, has been tried at Dover, Me-,
charged with being a yagabond, com
mon railer and brawler, and neglected
to support his family. The evidence
on the trial brought out fully the fana-
rical and demoralizing tendency of the
NIillerite meetings. Among other
things it was proved that Dammon
boosted publicly, and with consider
able elation, ofhaving spiritual wife
One of the witnesses, Mr.. J. w. E.
Harvey, testifed:-"I attended their
meetings two days and four evenings.
First meeting lasted eight days; have
known Dammon six weeks; Dammon,
White and Hall were leaders. Dam
mon said the sinners were going to
hell in two days. They were hugging
and kissing each other; Dammon would
lay on the floor, then jump up; they
would frequently go in:o another room.
Dammon has no means to support
himself that l know OF. The meeting
appeared very irreligious; have seen
him sit on the floor With woman, his
arms around her," Another witness,
w. G. Crosby, Esq, testified: "They
were sitting and lyingon the floor prom
iscuously, and were exceedingly noisy.
BY spell it was the noisiest l ever at
tended. He bad seen them in groups
hugglng and kissing each other. Once
saw Elder Hall with his boots off, and
the women would often go and kiss
his feet. One girl made a smack but
did not kiss his foot, with her lips
Hall said, He that is ashamed of me be-
fore men, him will be ashamed of before
my Father and the holy angels She
then gave his feet a number of kisses. -
Another witness testified that be saw
men wash the feet of women; and
heard Dammon and others abuse al
other denominations, calling theirmem-
bers liars, murderers, &c. &c. 1t was
proved, that until the Mllerite excite
ment arose, Dammon had good char
acter. He was sentenced to the house
of correction forten days. The whole
evidenc on the trial showing that kis-
sing, washing of feet, living without
work, &c., were. common practices

.Rnother Anti- Rent Way-The coun
ties of Ulster and Delaware are at pres.
ent the scene of still farther outrages mp
on law and order. From the .Nban3
.Agus, which is well supplied with
information from intelligent corfespon-
dents both of these counties, we learn
that in the lormerdeputy Sheriff Schoon-
maker has distinguished himself at the

In Delaware the officers Of the law
have been more successful. On the
18th instant posse of Of about eighty
men, in two detachments, under COM
mand of Deputy Sheriff Oeman, n.
Steele, and E. S. Edgerton, started
from Delhi for Roxbury, by different
routes, for the purpose of making ar
rests. AS that town is the most tur-
bulent of the anti-rent district, where
large numbers of disguised men are
frequently collected, and the roads be-
ing exceedingly bad, some apprehen-
sion was felt as to the success Of the
expedition. n i
At half past ten o'clock on the night
Of the 18th, the .argas's correspondent
writes as follows: ea
The party has just entered the VII!
lage with twelve Indians whom they
have taken prisoners, disguised and
armed.
The particulars ofthe skirnish which
showed skill and intrepidity on the part
of officers and men cannot at present
fully relate, After they had last even
ing arrested Preston ona bench warrant,
the blowing ofhorns and other move
ments in the neighborhood announce
great preparations for an attempt to
rescue The prisoner, who was strictly
guarded during the night.
In the morning, after some recon
noitering, a party of about one
hundred and thirty Indians, well armed,
were discovered, and Immediately
