ST. CRoN.-An arrival yesterday brought ac-
counts from st. Croix to the 2Sth ult. The island
still continues IN disturbed state. the negroes
were making contracts to work, and break
ing them the next moment. Some planters
were already speaking Of the inability of the
estates to pay their expenses and it was certainly
apparent to any experienced eye, that if the ne
groes did not work great deal more than they
were doing at present. the greater part Of the small
estates must be abandoned, they would bring the
proprietors in debt; and it was the general report
that the Island would be unable TO support more
than half the white inhabitants 1t has hitherto
done, and, consequently, number of persons were
trying to get away fast as possible, many Of whom
have sustained heavy losses by the late emancipa-
ton, and were flying from the island. No one
out of the town considered themselves safe, as,
from the numerous reports in circulation, it was
expected that another revolt would take place
The neproe were not at all satisfied with the re-
gulations made for their work.

ARRIVAL OF THE SoUTHERNER.- mail
steamer Souihemer, Capt. Berry, arrived last
night from Charleston. She did not leave the
city Of Charleston until Sunday morning, which
accounts for her non-arrival at the usual time.
She is nevertheless ahead of the land route.

EXCITEMENT IN THE CUSTOM HoUSE-There is a
great excitement among the old hunkers in this
city. They are getting to be savage. We were
told yesterday, that if they were defeated In No
vember, they would ride some one fond of loco
motion on rail, &c.
We learn that quite funny scene occurred yes
terday, in the Custom House. About IL o'clock,
the Collector was quietly sitting his Office in
that magnificent building, rejecting over figures
and free SOIL several gentlemen walked in and
wished few minutes conversation with HIM.
According to the report, they introduced them
selves committee of old hunkers, deputed to
wait upon him, for the purpose of having the heads
Of one hundred and seventy bamburners, holding
office, chopped off. The amiable Collector looked
up with horror. To behead one hundred and Sc
venty was terrible undertaking. But the old
hunkers had their names IN black and white, and
insisted uron 1t. The Custom House was thrown
into a state of great excitement. But It appeared
that the old hunkers were mistaken; they had
been hum plugged, for not bambumer could be
found in the building; every one was for Cass and
Butler, and no one else
This staggered the committee; they felt sure of
seeing one hundred and seventy heads roll out
into the free soil of the gutter. They looked at the
Collector; he looked at them; they rolled up their
kit and came away astonished at the mutablity
CT human affairs.
This committee has got its hands full. It has
yet TO regulate Mr. Walker, Mr. Buchanan, Cave
Johnson, and Mr.. Marcy. We believe that Cave
has promised to turn out every barnburner in the
Post Office.

pet aside. The electric fluid is a principle, an
eeement of nature, the same as fire or water. Now
man may take out patent for the exclusive use
OF any kind OF machinery applied to water or fire,
but no one can take out patent right for the
exclusive use of water or fire. What would be.
come of us if these free elements could be appro-
priated, by some legal decisions, to the exclusive
and benefit of any one person or CORPORATION I,
Just SO with electricity the me,eorc fire which
moves above, below, around, and which d generates
everywhere. MIR. Morse may use his instruments
ashe peasee, and have exclusive right 10 his ma

the decision is preposterous. To say that any other
person may not use this universal fluid IL meagre.

We believe the decision of the Court will turn

perfectly free to the lightning as they please.
