A Singular Lake.

About ten miles to the south east of Saratoga
Springs there is small lake, well worthy the at
tention of the curious geologst Around it for a
considerable distance stretches valley that shows
many indications of having once been full of water,
But which has been drained by the buasting of its
southern boundary towards the Mohawk river
In the center, deeply shaded by the wood. lies the
present lake, not more than quarter of mile in
width. but three miles in length. The shape is SER
pentne and although several small streams emty
into it, no outlet has ever been discovered Slight
changes only are pereeptablein the water mari,
at the period of the spring freshets. No sound
ings have ever been made in it yet although deep
sea lines have been used. The shores are bold
and perpendicular WALL defending downward
20 an unknown depth. The mightiest ship that
ever doated could touch it's shore in any place with
perfect safety Its surface is calm as mirror for
It is seldom touched by the boisterous wind The
water, though seemingly clear looks black from its
great depth and the shadows of the trees on shore
II has nothing of the dish shape usually pertaining
70 lakes, or to seas and oceans. 1t seems like an
immense crevice in the solid crust of the earth's
surface. thrown open by convulsion in nature, as
earthquake. long centuries ago.
!. When ouE planet was young, it underwent shocks
such as would crumble the mountains that aow
brstle along and to one of these awful convulsions
this curious lake probably owes its origin.

Dreadful Scene at an Execution.

A. Rockingham IN. G. CORRESPONDENT of the
Fayetteville Observer gives the following scene at
the execution of man named Robt Hildr eth, at
that place, on the 2lst inst; a9
The axe glitters, trap-door falls, and Hildreth
swings by the neck. For half minute he remains
motionless. Is he dead? Can his own weight
Mol Poor fellow, he expected one pang and that is
to gross negligence in executing the law, must
cost him world of woe. With convulsive ef-
fort he reaches the platform and stands again on
earth alive. The cap has fallen from his face
The blood was already fast rushing upwards. But
his large and muscular neck prevented the rope
from tightening. Even then his weakness did
not leave him. He spoke without complain, in a
clear voice, that was heard with awe by every ear
"Come here and fix the rope! it wont choke me
to death ~
The Sheriff did go to him. First, with an axe,
then with piece Of scantling, he endeayored to
knock away the boards. At last he pushed Hill
dreth's feet from the scaffold and hung him inef-
ciently second time. The poor fellow made 20
further effort to recover himself Finding that he
was hung in a way which produced the most ex-
cruciating pain, because of gradual suffocation-
with the blood slowly collecting in his brain through
circulation only partially impeded-tle unfortu-
nate man, compelled by the pangs which momen-
tarily grew greater, drew up his legs as high as
possible, then with all his force. threw them bown
to thighten the cord. Three several times at in
tervals of a minute, he did the same again. Then
his struggles ceased-his own executioner, he be-
came unconscious of pain

The Ohio State Journal.

The prospectus of this excellent paper will be
found in another column of to-day's paper. The
want of room is the cause of its insertion at this
late day, but there is time enough for those who
wish to do so, to forward the money for the
Journal. 1t is the duty of every Wing in the
county, after subscribing for the Freeman, to take
the Wing paper published at the capital of the
State The terms of the Journal are so low now,
that it is in the power of all to take it, and are
confident that its able editor will make it accepta-
BILE and satisfactory to all.

Gg Congress and the Ohio Legislature meet

next Monday and the business of both is expected
to be interesting and exciting In Congress the
Slavery question will engross the attention of
both Houses, for some time to come. The tariff,
the subtreasury, DC, will be interesting subjects
of discussion.
In the Legislature, there will probably be some
difficulty in organizing, though the Democrats
have majority, and may put every thing straight
through, without regard to right or wrong. At
tempts will undoubtedly be made to repeal our
excellent banking and tax laws and to foist the old
rotten system of individual liability upon the peo-
ple but think nothing of this kind can be pass
ed through the Senate.
Now would be good time to subscribe for the
FREEMAN. We shall devote as much space to the
proceedings of Congress and Legislature as our
limits will admit Of and all important matters we
will give in full. Our means sfor obtaining early
and correct reports, are complete; and we shall
spare no labor or expense, necessary to lay import.
ant intelligence and news before our readers
Those wishing to take the Freeman during the
sessions of Congress and the Legislature, can have
it at l24 cents per month, or 374 cents for three
months, payable in advance; for one year, 81 so
payable within three months, or otherwise two dol.
lars will be charged.
In our next paper. should Congress and the
Legislature organize on Monday, we expect to lay
before our readers the Presidents and Governors
messages so that those wishing to avail themselves
of our terms, will do well to send us their names
Immediately. Money can be forwarded to us at

themselves by letting the matter rest but it ap-
pears we were much mistaken.
We do not recollect that friend of the Dem
ocrat has published this libel, but as the "rOor-
back" has made its appearance among our citizens,
through the Ohio Statesman and other kindred
prints, we hope to see him do Mr. Clayton the
justice to state the facts to his readers they
ist We do not think that he would wifully mis-
represent any member of the cabinet not even
Thomas Ewing, if he knew the facts;-and now
that he has Mr.. Brega's letter he will certainly
clear Clayton of the charge preferred by Bennett.
At least we hope SO, and with this pleasing suppo-
stion, we shall wait with intense anxiety for the
next issue of his truly democratic" and progress
siVe sheet
But we would respectfully call upon the Dem
ocratic party of this county, to note the kind of at
tacks that their leaders are making against the
administration We would ask them if such a
course is honorable, whether it is Democratic2 2
And when they see this charge reiterated in the
Statesman, and its allies, they put their own
estimate upon the honesty and fairness of war;

We say to our friends: watch the progress of
this calumny, and MARK the man that dare to triAe

thou liyest with beings feeble as thou art Be

to show thyself more noble than he is, and to
make friend of himi Be reserved, temperate, and

The next Congress.-The Speaker.

The N. Y. Tribune gives table arranged to
show nearly possible the actual sympathles OF
the members between the two great parties divid-
ing the Union. In it placed Messrs Both, of
Connecticut Julian, of Indiana, Preston King, of New
York, Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, and Durkee of Wis
consin (a distinctive Free Soiers, it is belived) IN
the democratic column, because they severaly lean
that way Messrs. Mann, of Massachusetts, Spra-
que of Michigan, Tuck, of New Hampshire, Cam
bell an Hunter, of Ohio and Howe, of Pennsyl-
vania, are placed in the whig column, because they
were elected mainly by whig votes, are in feeling
and principles wings, and it is supposed will vote
for whg speaker whenever called upon to choose
between whig and democrat In the Trhune's
table, Mr. Allen, of Massachusetts, and Messrs.
Gddngs and Root, of Ohio, are not classed. 1t
gives the whig strength on this basis II votes,
and the democratic lis. 1t classes with the de-
mocrats three Taylor republicans from South Caro-
lima
We should Judge from the article in the Char
lesion News, that the Taylor republicans will vote
FIR the Taylor candidate for Speaker. The vote
then on that question would stand lis whig to
1I2 democrats with Allen, Giddings and Root
Scattering The Tribune calculation gives the de-
mocrats all the members they claim in all quarters.

New York, Mo-. 2S-3 P. NJ
The Herald has the following On the 2Sth of
August the American brig NJ C. Draper was
wrecked on the Musqueto coast. The pilot made
a false statement in relation to the depth of the
water on the bar. I he vessel was abandoned all
hands went on shore, and pitched a tent After
being there few days, their camp was attacked
by the Indians, and their provisions and clothing
stolen. The Capt threatened that if restitution
WAS not made within three days he would attack
their village, which he did, assisted by Some In
dians who were friendly to them, and reduced the
whole village to ashes, the hostile Indians having
escaped on the appearance of the Americans The
party afterwards returned to their camp where af
ter % days of extreme suffering, they were picked
up and carried to Balize of the Honduras. The
Musquito king and commissioner were busily en-
gagged in getting account of the affair, which it
was feared would be exaggerated and prove inju-
rious to the Americans on the coast

RemarkabIe ROcK n LaEe SUPERIOR.

One Of the most remarkable Rocks of which we
shaee any knowledge, has lately been discovered in
the middle of the inland sea, Lake Superior. By
81 gentleman who has lately returned from Copper
harbor, We learn that shaft of traprock has very
lately been discovered rising in the lake from $50

surface OF the water a distance of not above four
feet. What renders it more extraordinary is, that

By any of the headlines used on the lake; and the

more than six or seven feet square, and so far as
