Extraordinary Phcaomenon.-O Sal urday morning last about o'clock, while two men were in | boat fishing off Quig- ley's Point, they observed Q phenom9non of d very strange description. At the hour We have mentioned, the sky was ofa more than ordinary dark and lurd aspect, so mach SD that the nlen were apprehensive that there would be heavy fall of rain. when almost instantaneously, the clouds 10 the westward parted, and an opening as it were of reddish hue became visible, to which their attention was directed.- Then there appeared in the heavens re- giment of men in uniform; and so minute was the representation, that the dresses of the officers could be easily distinguished from those of the men. This passed away in a panoramic manner, and was quickly succeeded by the view of two large three- masted vessels ofwar, under full sail which raversed the same space as their prede- .cessors on the scene, and at length they faded from the sight. lhe mysterious vis ion was not, however, yet completed for their wondering eyes now beheid the ap. pearance of two human forms, male and female, standing with their faces towards each other, as if engaged in conversation; and so vivid was the outline of these fig ures, that they distinguished the male from the female, tho former being apparently clothed in frock coat. This csrial per sonation of humanity, occupied about the same spaee oftime as the two first. men ticned. This most bewidering scene was closed by the forms of swan and pea hen, moving across and disappearing af- ter which tle sky assumed the sombre hue which it wore preylousto this strange it. llisi"a. Our informant that one of the men who witnessed this scene was fill ed with the greatest terror during is con tinuance.-- Derry Scntind.

Hiddcc Things Coming to Light.

The Presidents Message and the Ireasur
er's Report, upon the matter ofthe war exPen
SEES, were evidently dressed up in deceptive
manner. The reader OF these documents
would suppose that there was nj 'rouoie IN
the Treasury; but 10! deficiency for iSs' year
appears of some $l4,O0O,O0O, and what sheds
more light upon the bad condition of the
| Treasury, than any thing else, perhaps, is the
! fact mentioned by Mr. Calhoun-the Treasury
| Notes issued by the Government are greatly
below par Upon this subject the Washing
ton Correspondent of the Baltimore American
writes as follows:
"The estimates of expenditure furnished by
the Secretary ofthe Treasury are deemed so
unfair and erroneous, that but an opportunity
is wanted in Congress to expose them. The
measures recommended by the present Ad-
ministration will require an appropriation of
more than one hUndred millions Of dollars from
the present Congress. The Secretary asks
for 55,000,000 dollars for the ordinary ex.
penses of Government, and this, is shown
by the recently published letter of Gen. Jesup,
after cutting down the estimates of those more
cogizant than the Secretary himself with the
wants of the service.
To these $55,000,000 add $4,000, 900 TO
meet deficiencies for the past year, and to
these $l4,000,O00 again add $50, 100000 more
for the thirty regiments now asked for as
necessary. Here you have NINETY.NINE MIL
LIONS ofdolars-and if the per centogc of the
deficiency for the years 194S-49 shall bear any
proportion to the known deficiency for the fis-
cal year lS47-4S, the sum will be immensely
increased beyond the amount named in the es-
Inmates"
Upon the same subject the Cores pondent
of the Atlas writes as follows, under date of
Jan. 10:
81 shall not refer in this letter to the qucs-
ton of supplies. The estimates made by the
President and his Secretary of the Treasury
arc mt the statements. They are too low by
by millons-known to be so
bv those who made then, and designed only
to mislead the public G.in1; You will
probably hear in few day oe a bill beng re-
ported in the House to borrow FORTY MILLlCNs
OF DOLLARS. An effort will be made by the |
friends of the Administration to alter it so as
to have the sum issued in Treasury Notes
This alteration hope will not take place
Let us try to raise the money by loan; it is
already expended. Treasury Notes will only
hide the sore, not cure it."

The YoUNG REPUBLIC UPON THE COAST OF
AFRICA. The Republic of Liberiu, recently
created by the colored cmigrnnts from the U
show the love of liberty of those who designed
it, many of whom were but recently bound by
the chains ofsavery in the United Stutes--
They are described as follows;--
FLAG-Sx red stripes with five white
stripes alternately displayed longitudinully.
In the upper angle of the flag next to the
spear, square blue ground, covering in depth
five stripes. In the centre of the blue, one
white star
Scala dove on the wing, with an open
scroll in its claws. A view of the ocean, with
a ship under sail. The sun just emerging
from the waters. A palm tree, and at its base
plough and spade. Beneath the emblems,
the words "Repubic of LIBERIA" and above
.he emblems, the national motto-"The love
of Liberty brought us here"
This new republic now promises to become
an asylum for many of the free people of col
or in the United States, as well as to some
portionGt will be but small for the presently of
the enslavcd. Some of the former are directing
their attention to it with the view of settling
there, and more slaves have been offered their
freedom by their masters than the friends of
the slave haye found means TO transport to the
Colony. A wide door is now opened whereby
many Of the colored people of the United
States-bond and free---may be assisted--pro-
yi!ad they desire to become citizens of Liberia.
