rather than forfeit his promise. The ordinary
excuses made for violating promises, are frivo'

Of lumber at a particular time and place, the

an immense saving TO the world, OF lime,
money. and patience; and instead Of spending
half their lives ia waiting for the tardy move
menis Of others, mankind would move forward
the great enterprises of life like locomotives.
Let US try to establish such a system in the

NIutiny md Murder.

The Philadelphia North American gives the
following account of an affair of the above
character, which took place on board the bark
Cactus, Captain Allen b. Day, from Smyrna
to Philadelphia.
The Cactus left cibral,er on the 9Th of
February, and on The third day out. about the
time the o'clock watch was called. the men
whose business j. was to scrub the decks, re-
fused to perform this duty, when ordered by
the Captain. The whole crew then at once
nutinied, and most Of them seizing hanispikes,
they made desperate at.emp. on the lives Of
officers. During the ARRAY the second mate
was struck twice upon the head with hand
spike, by one of the muuneers, and his skull
being horribly fractured, he expired six hours
afterwards.
The first mate was grappled with by an
other of the mulineers, who attempted TO
throw him overheard, when another of the
mu,ineers raised handspike to kill him.--
The Captain, who in the meantime had es-
capped from the villains and possessed himself
of his pistol, fortunately making his appear
ance at this momen, with the weapon, and the
cabin boy having brough, the mate cuslass,
the mu'ineers were vvwed. and through the
determined iurepidi,y of the surviving officers,
were compelled to submission.
Harding. the murderer Of the second mate,
was put below in irons, where ne was kept
during the voyage. The rest of the crew
were ordered to duty, and by the caution and
hrmness OF the Captain and first officer, were
KEEP, in subsection ill the vessel reached the
Delaware.
The Captain, anticipating that the mutineers
would make their escape in coming up the
river, hoisted his flag to the Revenue Cutter,
near Ready Island, an officer from which
boarded him and the offenders were made
prisoners and pu, on board the Forward. On
the arrival Of the Cutter at the Navy Yard.
they were taken into custody BY the United
States Marshal and conveyed to prison. the
bark was hronsh' ias0 port by q crew from tho
Gutter.
The prisoners are all colored. Their names
are Brown, Grimes, Williams, Harding, Lo.

belongs 10 Philadelphia, and sailed from this
por. in the bark. The others were shipped at
