MEN WITH TAILs.-The fredericksburg
Recorder in copying the account of the
recent discovery in Africa, of race of
negroes with vertebral elongations, re-
marks:
"This interesting race of men will
doubtless soon excite the sympathy of
Northern Philanthropists, who take a
deep interest in black skins. How their
compassion will be moved when they
learn that this noble people are kept as
slaves. Here is work for abolitionists.
The "Anti-Slavery Standard would do
we'll to establish a branch of its journal
in the part of Africa where this race
live. We think the cause of humanity
requires that Lloyd Garrison, or some of
his disciples should at once repair to
Africa, and form a matrimonial alliance
with some OF this sable family. There,
doubtless the black fair se.r may be found
in perfection"
Washington telegraph., 1849-10-31

MACHINE FOR OPENING OYsTERs.-The
editor Of the Evening Post, now travel
ling in Europe, says that the old fashion
ed way of rspping the she'll of an oyster,
forcing knife into the body of the un-
fortunate animal, and fetching him to
light with a "How many, sir?'' has been
superseded in Paris by a machine. "Mr
Baudon, with his ecaillereS, reforms the
barbarities altogether. The oyster is
laid over SO gently in grove--the screw
is turned once, twice-Ie voiIa-the un-
conscious oyster is before you, blinded by
the light, without a gaping wound
There is no series of raps to warn the
oyster of his doom-no portion of the
castle is preached, but the vice is turned
the valves fly apart, and, blinded and be-
wildered, the live oyster is consigned to
tickle your palate with his dying agonies. 4"

THE HYALoTYPE.-1hs is the name given to a
new Photographic process recently discovered in
Philadelphia. The City 1ten' gives the following
account of it:
'.1'he Hyaotype, is an impression of the light
on glass, rendered perfectly durable and transpa-
rent. By this process portraits from life, copies
Of daguerrotypes, oil paintings, views FROM nature,
and, in fact, every thing which reflects light, may
be taken accurately. A portrait taken by this
process, may be used as candle shade, OF in par
lor windows. or in any of the thousand forIls sug
gested by different tastes. In scientific point of
view, the invention is Of the greatest Importance,
because the most Insignificant objects in nature
may be taken, and afterwards magnfed either by
the magic lantern or the hydro-oxygen microscope.
Only ten seconds are required for portrait after
this method, and from this sitting thousand of
copies can be taken, either on paper or on glass,
and, if required, they may be enlarged to the size
of life Persons from a distance, by sending q
daguerreotype, or picture Of any kind, may have
copies of the same multiplied at 4 moderate charge
to any extent, either on glass or paper"

MIR. SamnelC. w. Lewis, of this place,
who left here, for California, in March
last. with the Little Rock Company of
Emigrapts, returned home, ON Sunday
las,0having left the Company short
distance beyond Albuquerque. As letters
were received, some weeks ago, from
several members of the Company, dated
at and beyond Socerro, he. OF course,
brings nothing later from them than we
have already communicated to our read
ers. Mr.. L. returned in company with
train to Independence, Mo.
After leaving the Little Rock Company,
Mr.. Lewis returned to the Gold Mines
near Santa Fe. and joined several Ameri-
cans, who were stopping there and search
ing for gold. He, however, does not
speak very favorably Of the success OF
those who were SO employed.
While Mr.. L. remained there, Mr..
Harvick, of Monroe county, and MIR.
Shaver, German, from Hampstead CO.,
(both of whom went out with some of
the Arkansas companies from Fort Smith,
were murdered by party of Apache In-
dians. They were employed in searching
for gold at the mines, but, at the time of
their murder, were grazing their horses
in the mountains. MIR. Lewis was ac-
quainted with both of them, and assisted
in interring their bodies. 1t was suppos-
ed that they were both shot while asleep.
Mr.. Harvick appeared TO have been so
badly disa bled at first. as to have made
but little resistance-having gun-shot
wound IN the head, and an arrow through
his breast Mr.. Shaver must have made
a desperate resistance, as he was shock
ingly cut aboMt the face and body, be-
sides gull-ssr,a wound and arrow through
his body. Three large puddles of blood
were found at intervals of 10 or Is PAGES
from where his body was discovered,
which evidently proceeded from the
bodies of Indians slain or severely wound
ed by him in the deadly struggle. He
was one of the Texan prisoners taken at
San Miguel, and marched TO the City of
Mexico.
Mr.. Harvick was brother of the pre-
sent Sheriff of Monroe county, ond a
peaceable and useful citizen, and his
sudden and shocking death will be sim
cerely regretted by his connexions and
friends.-Little Rock Democrat.

What has become of our corporation? What
has become of our town PatroR They have not
been heard Of these many days! There is one
thing certain, and it is this If our Patrol will not
do their duty, each man who has kitchen VIII
have to turn Patrol snd keep the negroes out OF IT.
There are a number of slaves in this town anc its
vicinity, that do nothing but travel about at
night from one kitchen to another; indeed, they
up drinking and frolicking away the whole
night. This is not only injury to tho slave
HIMSELF but he corrupts and renders unfit for ser
vice the next day, those with whom he associates
1t is to be hoped that each person will henceforth
keep his slaves at homo ON his own premises
No man is willing that his kitchen should be all
ways filed with Iris neighbors nsgroes, anc ne can
only get clear of them when each owner will
compel his slaves to remain at home.
But again say that our town Patrol ought to
do their duty. II they do not shall henceforth,
SO far as am concerned, enforce against every
slave coming upon my premises, certain law
that may be found in our Revised Statutes,-hers-

DEATH OF EDGAR A. PoE.-The Balti.

DEATH OF EDGAR A. PoE.-The Balti.
more Sun of the 6.h, says:
1--WE regret to learn that Edgar A. Poe,
ESQ., the distinguished American poet,
scholar and critic, died in this city yester
day morning. after an illness of four or
five days. This announcement, coming
so sudden and unexpected, will cause
poignant regret among all who admire
genius. and who have a sympathy for the
frailties TOO often attending it. Mr.. Poe,
we believe, was native of this State,
though reared by foster-father at Rich
mond. Va, where he lately spent some
time on visit. He was in the 3Sth
year of his age.
Washington telegraph., 1849-10-31

HERoIsM IN A BoY.-A few days ago
AN incident occurred at Biloxi, in which
a boy named Joseph Garabeau, between
ten and eleven years OF age, evinced ex.
traordinary intrepidity and presence OF
mind. Two little fellows about ten years
old, one of them the son Of Capt. Samuel
Griffin, of the steamboat California, were
fishing OH the edge OF the wharf, when'
overreacEipg themselves, they Tell INTO
tn. water, which was Of considerable
depth. They were unable to SWIM and
of course in immediate danger OF being
drowned, when g Garabeau, who stood near
threw a plank toward them, stripped,
and plunged off the wharf to their assist
auce. With admirable presence OF mind'
he avoided getting in front OF them, there
by preventing either from locking him ID
an embrace which would have proved
fatal to all three; but grasping behind Inc
shoulder the first he came to with one
hand, and swimming with the other, he
pushed him toward the plank and thus
enabled him to sustain himself. After
this he returned to the other and repeated
the maneuvre. When he found they
had both firm hold of the plank, the
young hero went behind and pushed
toward a fish car, which was thirty or
forty yards off, when, having gained 1t, he
aided them to mount thereon, and thuS
placed them out of all danger. Young
Garabeau's noble action is the theme Oh
universal admiration at Biloxi, and, taken
in connection with his tender age 49,
perhaps, as fine an example of devoted
ness as can be found in the records OF the
Humane Society.-N. 0. Pacay~ne.

The TEXAS FRoNTIER.-The National
Intellgencer of the 25th ult.. says;
The military force now stationed within
the limits of Texas consists Of two COM
panies of the I'd Dragons, twenty COM
panies of Infantry, two companies of the
4th Artillery, and three companies of
Mounted Volunteers-making in all a
force of three regiments. or about fourteen
hundred men, According to instructions
received from the proper department., all
these troops are at the present time
engaged in patrolling the country, and
we are assured that everything that can
be will be done to protect the inhabitants
Of that remote frontier.
And it may be mentioned in this con-
nection that the force now stationed by
the United States Government on the
frontier Of Texas for its protection greatly
exceeds that which was mustered by
that section of country when it was a
Republic and at enmity with Mexico.

Indicate that the Wings have obtained

Both parties claim the Legislature. The
