!: Sorithing .New.-Our readers may re-
member statement published some weeks
since ola wild negro having been seen in
the parish Of Caddo, Louisiana. The las,
number ofthe Cad,lo Gazette contains q long
article from the pen Of Mr.. J.. NJ, Pierce
of that parish, descriptive Of his successful
attempt to catch this f,ondescript, and Of
several Of his physical peculiarities. The
editor Of The. Gazette declares that the crea-
ture possesses an appendage which DR..
Pierce omitted to mention, viz. tail about
three Inches long, with hair on 1t. Ifthis
be so, the idea Of its belonging to the gen.
us homo must be abandoned, unless some
acute philosopher should prove that Lord
Mcnboddo's theory Of men being origin
ally monkeys furnished with tails, is true,
and that the animal in. question Is speci-
men Of Lord Monboddo's idea Of primitive
humanity D. All 'f3. Fpaa. -,t
; It appears from an account given By DR..
Pierce, that he in company with Mr.. Per-
sy proceeded to the haunts of the creature,
which he attacked by means of pack q
hounds. After rum ing. some time, they
beheld a creature icoursing along at great
speed and resembling bear rather than a
man. DR.. Pierce got within ten PAGES Of
him and commanded him to stop, but in
stead Of pausihg he took to river. He
was, pursued by ths party, which finally
arrived at the very thick canebrake, in the
midst DC which was gum tree, with hole
Just large enough for . person to squeeze

could see the singular being squatted in one
corner Of the hollow, and looked more like
bear than. a human being. Il being a.
most nishtthey concluded to wait till morn
ing. At break Of day they commenced
cutting him, ont.s He was indomitable,
fighting with fuiy and was only subdued
by rope being thrown around his neck
and frightened until bis respiration was a.

Like the tramp Of hoofsi .:.., En8
How it gushes and struggles out ....,...i
From the throat Of the overAowins spoat
Across the window. pane,
II pours and pours,
And swift and wide,
With muddy tide, 1T, ss
Like river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rainl
The sick IAN from his chamber look.
At the twisted brooks;
He can feel the cool
Breath of each little pooli

Grows calm again, 49,.
And he breathes blessing On the rain.
i,,. .t ..4tat' a4
From the neighboring school
Come the boys, aus. s,;.,s. rr
With more than their wonted noiss
And commotion,
And down the wet streets
Sail their mimic fleets.
Till the treacherous pool
Enguifs them in lis whiting
And turbulent ocean.
In the country on every side
Where, far and wide,
Like leopard's tawny and spotted hide,
Stretches the plain, 1e -
To the dry grass and dryer grain
How welcome is the rain!
In the furrowed land
Tie toilsome and patient oxen stand,
Lifting the yoke-encumbered head,
With their dilated nostrils spread,
They silently inhale
The clover scented gale,
And the vapors that arise
From the well watered and smoking soil.
For this rest in the furrow after toll,
Their large and lustrous eyes
Seem to thank the Lord,
More than mans spoken word.
Near at hand,
From under the sheltering trees,
The farmer sees
His pastures and his fields Of grain,
as they bend their tops
To the pumberless beating drops
OF the ineessant rain.
He coun.ssit as no sin,
That be sees therein
Only his own thrift and gain.
These, and far more than these,
The Poet sees!
He can behold
Aquarius old .. IL
Walking the fenceless fields 81 air;
And, from each ample. fold l.,
or the clouds about him rolled,
Scattering every where
The showry rain
As the farmer scatters grain.
he can behold
Things manifold
That have not set beer wholly told
Have not been wholly sung nor said:
For his thought which never stops,
Follows the water drops
Down to- ths graves Of the dead.
Down through chasms and guiis profound
To the dreary. fourtain-head ;,
OF lakes and rivera under ground;
And sees them, when the rain il done,
On the bridge Of colors sevea,, :,
Climbing up once more to heaven,
Opposite the setting sun.
Thus the seer,
With vision clear, .i.@..-
Sees forms appear and disappear,
In the perpetual round Of strange
Mysterious change
From birth to death, from deash 10 birth;
From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth,
Till glimpses more sublime
Of things unseen before,
Unto his wondering eyes resetl
The universe, as an immeasunble wheel
Turning Tor etermore tf

In North Carolina, "old Rip Van Wrinkle "has
woke up; the democrats have carried six out OF
the nine congressman in this State which went thor
oughy for Clay. Ii this is Substantial victory"
for the wings, why then are they easily satisfied;
In Indiana the democrats carry eight out OF the
ten congressman, and secure United States sena-
tor, being gain in the place Of malignant coon.
This shows how Substantial" whigery Is IN the
West.
In Alabama, we have carried six out Of seven
congressman, elected democratic governor, (the
wings not daring to show their weakness by run
ming candidate, and the Legislature is ''all over"
democratic.
If these are Substantial wing victories" then,
say we, may they have many such; for, although
do not consider them wing victories, we are free
to confess they are wing gains-inasmuch as when
democratic principles successful, the country
RISES and all gain; and the contrary has been prov
and again to be the case, when the coon
party have had the ascendency. So we are all
pleased with the result Of the late August elecnons
and we again repeat, may we have many more OF
the same substantial victories"

dependent the Secretary perfect failure. The Sec
Rotary may be great leaders but is yet to be found out
Courier q Enquirer
Thus far from the Courier. Now for the true
'.facts." The Lexington did sail on Tuesday;
Lieutenant Ellison ,ras in command of her, and
sailed in her; and she not only had her full and
proper quota Of officers, but another set were also
concentrated" with their Trunks and baggage,
ready to embark in Of failure of the others. II
may therefore be generally understood" that our
contemporaries attack Oh the Secretary is ''per-
feet failure" We do not mean to be uncivil; but
the case naturally suggests the quotation of a cce-
brated stanza---
But soon wonder came to light,
That proved the rogues they lied
The man recovered from the bite
The dog it was that died"
The truth is, that the Secretary took his measures
with admirable forecast, and he was ably seconded
by Capt Sringham and Capt. Hudson, at the navy
yard.
Mr. Bancroft has introduced one reform for which
he is entitled to the public thanks. When an officer
now receives an order, he knows he must obey it
or else be very civilly but firmly put ON furlough
and halfpay. The day Of frivolous excuses has
gone by. A bona fde strong case of justification,
such as Illness or other truly imperative reasons,
alone now induces an officer TO apply for release
from orders--or gives him any chance of applying
with success. Former secretaries have complained
of the difficulty of getting set of officers for any
other than the most agreeable service. There is no
difficulty Sea or furlough-to be or not to be
that is the question: and it is marvellous to wit
ness the excellent effect already produced in the
general spirit Of the service by this very simple for
mula TO which Mr. Bancroft has reduced the mat
ter. So much.-N. " Morning .Nscs.
