The Close.

The National I%ntelligencer thus describes
the scene in the House of Representatives,
on the occasion of Mr.. Adams illness:
"Just after the yeas and nays were taken
on a question, and the Speaker had risen to
put another question 10 The House, a sudden
cry was heard on the left of the chair, Mr..
ADAMS is dying" Tuning our eyes TO the
spot, we beheld the venerable man in the act
Of falling over the left arm of his chair, while
his right arm was extended, grasping his desk
for support. He would have dropped upon
the foor had he not been caught in the arms
of The member sitting next him. A great SEN
saIlOn was created in the House; members
from all quarters rushing from their seats and
gathering round the fallen statesman, who
was Immediately lifted into the area in front
of The Clerks table. The Speaker instantly
suggested that some gentleman move an ad-
iournment, which being promptly done, the
House adjourned. A sofa was brought, and
Mr.. Adams in a state Of perfect helplessness,
though not of entire insensibility, was gently
laid upon it. The sofa was then taken up
and borne out o: the Hall, into the Rotunda,
where it was set down, and the members Of
both Houses and strangers who were fast
~cTowding around were with difficulty repress-
ed and an open space cleared in its immedi-
ate vicinity buta medical gentleman, a mem
Der of the House, (who was prompt, active
and self-posseSsed throughoutth the whole pain
full scene,) advised that he be removed 10 The
door Of the Rotunda opening on the east por-
tico, where a fresh wind was blowing. This
was done but The air being chilly and load
ed with vapor, the sofa was, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Winthrop, once more taken up and re-
moved to the Speakers apartment, The doors
of which were forthwith closed 10 all but pro-
t%essional gentlemen, several Of whom arrived
in succession as the news spread into the CT
~. While lying in this apartment, Mr..
Adams recovered partially the nse of his
speech, and observed, in faltering accents,
This is the end of earth )" but quickly add
ed, II AIN composed" Members had by
this time reached Mr.. As abode with the
melancholy intelligence, and, soon after, MIS-.
Adams and his nephew and niece arrived and
made their way to the appalling scene. Mrs.
A.. was deeply affected, and for some mo-
ments quite Frustrated by the sight of her
husband, now insensible, the pallor of death
upon his countenance, and those sad %premoni-
tories fast making their appearance which fall
with such chill upon the heart.
In the Hall, meanwhile, a gloomy pause
occurred in the usual hum Of voice that I'LL

From Frazier's Magazine.
A Slave Hunt.

"Aha, Uncle Reinbold ~ said the sailor;
"now we shall see what the hounds, of which
you brag SO much, are really worth. Do
you believe they will run down the Fela-
lah?"
1--WE shall see," replied the trader
Bring out the dogs, there, you s~kulklng vii
lains !"
His slaves tumbled over one another in
their eagerness to obey his command, quick
ly led forth from a small mud walled hut two
blood hounds, OF the true African breed, which
is esteemed the finest in the world. They
were rather more than two feet in length, and
formed with great symmetry, both for strength
and speed. Their color was a reddish tan.
deepening nearly to black on the upper part
of the body each had a white spot in the
middle of the forehead, which was broad and
full, not fiat, as in the Cuban variety. The
narrow lapering muzzle and ample %nostrils
were proof at once of good breed and scent.
Their ears were rot large, but soft and PEN
dulous, and their eyes had a gentle, lambent
expression, until excited by anger or in the
chase, when the glare of their ferocity was
fearful TO behold. They now fawned upon
the trader as he held them by the leash, viii
ming, licking his hands, and in every way
testilying their pleasure al the sight OF their
master.

Voice of the VOIuteerS.

The whig presses are making unusual
exertions to create the impression that the
whole body ofthe returning volunteers is
enthusiastic in the support Of Gen. Taylor.
They pile falsehoods and stop at nothing
to accomplish this purpose. We noticed

nies yesterday.-We have another today.

nal from which we quoted these proceed

Massachusetts volunteers who came up on
the Belle of the w est but Ii were for Cass,
and all the rest for Taylor. Major An.
drews who was in command Of the detach-
ment, requests the Democrat to pronounce
this assertion, "an unqualified libel on the
gallant men of the Massachusetts regi-
ment." He says that out of 800 men COM

for Taylor. He commands himself 2iO

From the West Indies.
New York, July 27.

NEW DIRK, July II.
We have late arrival from the West
Indies. The insurrection in Santa Cruz
still continues. The slaves are still mas
sucreing the whites and desolating their es.
tates.
The cause ofthe revolt appears to have
been the unconditional emancipation Of
slaves. After twelve years apprenticeship,
they were to be liberated; but they desired
immediate freedom which had been prom
ised them if they would stop the destruc-
ion Of life and property.
The Governor of St. Thomas, fearing
similar outbreaks, has declared the eman-
cipation of all the slaves in that Island -
Meanwhile the whites were arming to put
down the insurrection.
In Hayti tranquility had been perfect ly
restored. President Goulorque had issued
an address congs atulating his countrymen
on the return of peace. All who fled have
been banished, and their property confs.

A Successful Rascal.
FRAUD UPON THE SALEM BANK

FRAUD UPON The > ALEM BANh.
We have Just learned that rather impu-
dent rascal, by the name OF John Rider ,oE
Wellsville, in this county, has been CON-
ing the *gane Of grab" over the bank in
this place, to the tune Of six thousand dol
lars! We have not heard the particulars
of this fellows transaction with our Bank
as the matter has been kept quiet, land none
but the interested persons knew anything
about it until within day or two past, and
perhaps now we shall get scolded for telling
it out in our paper. But we are told thai
Rider drew Sc 5000 out ofthe Salem Bank
one day last week, by means of forged
draft, note, or something Of the kind, and
his forgery was not discovered until fire
days after he had drawn the money. 1t is
said the same fellow has also heeced a
Bank in Steubenvills out Of three thousand
dollars, by 4 similar process. We suppose
he is an accomplished rogue, and, we are
told, was once tried for robbing the U. S.
Mail. Several persons in this place have
been in pursuit of him, but we have not
learned that any of them got any word Of
his whereabouts,
Mr.. Rider has robbed these banks Of n
large sum Of money without giving them
an equivalent; the bankers get their money
off the laborers of the country by means
of special privileges granted them by our
Legislature, in the shape Of Bank Charters.
The money, in one case, is obtained Of the
producer legally,a ,and in the other legally;
but in neither case is an equivalent render
ed to the producer of the money
The effect Of both is the same upon the pro-
ducer.- Home stead Journal.
