The bill OF complainant charges that
on the eth day Of June, l 844, complain
ant purchased of one Needom Freeman,
in the town Of Clinton, Kinds county, in
said State, Negro woman slave named
Mary, for the sum Of $500, which he
paid in cash, and took from said Freeman
a bill of gale, by the terms of which
said Freeman warranted said Negro to
be sound in body and mind, healthy, and
a slave for life. Complainant took said
Negro into possession, and soon discov.
cred that she was not sound and healthy
but was diseased in body, and that said
Freeman practised gross fraud upon
complainant, and the bill further char
ges that complainant proposed to Free
man to take said Negro back, which
Freeman agreed 10 do about the LIST of
January, l845, thereby virtually ac-
knowledglng said Neg 70 to be unsound.
And bill further states that complainant
did wait until the LIST Of January, 1845,
with the expectation that Freeman would
take back said Negro and pay him back
the $500 which complainant had paid
for her, but that said Freeman did not
take back said Negro, but refused as he
had promised TO do. Bill charges that
Freeman is a nonresident Of the State
Of Mississippi, having no permanent
place Of abode, that complainant is aware
Of, that at this time he is in the State OF
North Carolina. And complainant prays
for an order of publication against said
defendant; and upon the final hearing
complainant prays that Freeman be
compelled to take back said Negro and
pay to complainant the $500 which com.
plainant paid for her; and prays for ex.
ecution Of the goods and chatttes, lands
and tenements Of said Freeman, and for
such other and further relief as may
seem just, and as in duty bound, &c.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.


Captain Aud of the Telegraph, who has had
opportunities for correct information, has given
us some interesting particulars in relation to
our army operations, which we have now
scarcely time to allude to. Captain A. thinks
the whole number Of our killed and wounded
wounded taken to st. Joseph's, there are now
about 40 at Point Isabel, too badly wounded to
be removed-all but three, it is thought, will
recover. There are three Mexican prisoners
having but one leg between them all. After
being shot in the arm, Captain Mcintosh re-
ceived bayonet wound in the mouth, which
passed through one side of the head. There
are no hopes of his'recovery.
The condition of the brave and esteemed
Capt. Page, is melancholy, indeed The whole
palate, is shot away by the grape shot. He
however survives, though entirely incapable of
speech. He communicates his thoughts by
writing on a slate, and receives the necessary
nutriment for the support of life with much
dificulty.-He does not desire TO live, but con-

HIP
All our accounts represent the Mexicans as
having fought on the 9th and 9th With courage
desperation that would have reflected credit up
on the troops of any nation. They were near
ly in state of starvation, and had been prom
sed the ample supplies Of the A american camp,
in case they would secure the victory. They
met the charges Of our troops manfulIy, and
stood the destructive fire that was poured in up
on them without giving way, until the works
were encountered with the dead and wounded.

HINTS TO YOUNG MEN.

The illustrious BUNYAN, never in my
opinion uttered sentiment more replete
with truth than when he said -" an
idle mans head is the DEVILS workshop"
Human nature is so constituted that the
immortal mind must and will be en-
ployed either for good or evil.
How import 1t is then, that young
men should be engaged in some kind Of
business. would say, if they have
hitherto realized two dollars per day, it
is better now 10 make 5 cents per day
than to live in idleness. But we are
told by one, that life is irksome to him,
and he imagines every one TO be his
enemy. Now all this is the Legitimate
offspring either Of idleness or dissipa-
ton, and they are almost always found
in company:
The best enjoyment
Is good employment.
Never be cast down by triAes. If a
spider breaks his thread twenty times,
will he mend it again. Make up your
minds to do thing, and you will do it.
Fear not, if trouble come upon you,
keep up your spirits though the day be
| dark one:
"Hope in the true heart never dies
Trust on the day star yet shall rise"
If the sun is going down, look up to
the stars-if the earth is dark, keep
your eyes on heaven. In other words
trust in God. If you have an enemy,
act kindly to him, and make him your
friend. You may not win him over at
once, but try again. Let one kindness
be followed by another, till you have
composed your end. By little and little
great things are completed.
