father Matthew.

This great apostle Of Temperance arrived in New
York about fortnight since. The attention Gown
him cannot be otherwise thin CRAFTY, to himself
and countrymen. All the Temperance Associations
turned our to welcome him. His countrymen are
IN e"stacies at his appearance. Some cry, some
dance, and others kneel when they approach him.
day or two after his arrival he held leyee, at
which thousands were introduced and shook hands
with him. We hope he may visit this part of the
country before he leaves. He can touch the warm
sympathies and appeal to the reformatory principles
OF his countrymen in way altogether beyond the
power of any other man.
Origin of DR. Brdgy's PiNs.-We have heard it sta
ted that the foundation which DR. Bragg has built
himself an immense fortune was laid on this wise ::
While travelling some years since in Iowa, he
was taken very sick in 4 country neighborhood not
many miles from this place. The physician whom
he employed is deservedy reputed to be very skill
full, and his skill was instrumental in securing the
recovery of Mr. Bragg. During his stay Mr. B. man
nested great confidence in the manner of treatment.
and he asked the physician to give him recipe Of
the medicine used on the occasion. The physician
did so, with statement of its operation and effect
in bilious complaints. Mr. Bragg then toll him that
he had made up his mind to go into a speculation
alike beneficial to himself and invaids. twas that
he and the physician should take out patent for
the medicine, advertise extensively. and that they
could thus make their fortunes. The physician,
never over enthusiastic or sanguine in schemes OF
this descriptions declined going into the speculation
thus recommended Bragg seemed intent upon
his project, and the physician gave him liberty TO
use his medicine in any way he thought best. Mr.
Bragg mmedatelyset about the business ,and adding
BY his own ingenuity the sugar coat to the medi-
cine. took patent, advertised, and within few
years obtained such popularity for his pills. to
require hundreds Of hands in the manufacture, and
thousands as statesmen Of his medicines. His Pill
mandatory in St Louis, rivals that OF DR. Brandrcth
on the Hudson.

Of June, abount 10 o'clock at night, one Of the

portion Of the crew intended to murder him and
the mate, and take the vessel TO California /; the
captain and mate instantly armed themselves, and
many of the crew as they could depend upon
An inquiry was instituted, and the captain found
that two men, named Mitchell and Ward, were the
chief instgators Of the proposed mutiny. Those
men were at once secured. Some Of the less guilty
portion Of the crew then volunteered TO confess,
from which it appears that 1t was determined 10

Of heaving the log, and that man was then 10

PARTING ADDRESS OF THE IRISH STATE PRIs-
oNERs.-Previous to the departure of the leaders of
the late Irish nsurrecon they placed in the hands
OF mutual friend the following address to their
fellow-oountrymen:
FeOw-cOuntrymen-If your efforts to procure a
mitigation OF the penalties to which we are about
TO be subjected, had been as successful ma Won de-
sired, we could not have offered TO you more sin.
cere and grateful acknowledgements than those
which we now tender, for the sympathy and soIici.
tude which you have displayed in our behalf
AT tins moment, while we are bidding our las
farewell TO our native land the reflection that onr
tellow-countFymen have not witnessed with in
difference our removal from among them is a sweet
source Of consolation; and be assured, that this
remembrance will hereafter be a soothing alleyi-
aton 10 whatever suffsrings it may be our lot to
endure.
knowing that we address many who do not con-
cur with us in political questions we do not feel
ourselves at liberty to offer any observations upon
the policy by which this country is governed-up-
on the policy which gave occasion TO our resistance
to British power-upon the policy which now con-
signs US to exile. We are compelled to repress
even the emotions which we feel in rejecting up
on the awful condition in which we leave the land
that we deeply loved; is this fitting occasion
70 point out the means by which its disasters may
be repaired but we cannot refrain from the eY.
preston of hope that you will not despair of your
country; and we may be permitted TO offer to our
telow-cOuntTymen parting exhOrtation that they
Will lay aside those unhappy dissensions which
have so long parayzed the intrinsic strength of the
Irish nation, and henceforth learn TO love and con-
fide in each other.
We feel it is not necessary to say anything to
you in YindicatiOn Of our motives. Even those
who most condemn our conduct, know that we
.have not been animated by considerations of per-
? soual nature in hszarding all that was dear to US
for the sake of native land but we owe it to
our feelings TO declare that, whatever may be the
sacrifices We incur by devotion to ts interests our
latest aspiration will be prayer for the prosperity
the honor, and independence az Ireland.

THE CASE OF J. NJ BARRETT.-The Spartan lat
Spartanburg, SCI continues to publish the cores
pondence Of Barrett, arrested there an abolition
emissary. HARDWOOD, the publisher in Cincinnati
of the Gazetteer for which Barrett was the travel
ling agent, has written long letter, in which,
avowing his anti.savery feelings, he states that he
had no knowledge Of the designs Of Barrett, and
no connection with his acts in relation to slavery.
1t is very clear, however, that Barrett is occupied
in pretty extensive correspondence with ant-sla-
very managers, and that they have possession of
the key to a common cypher, in which they write.
Some portion Of the letters have been deciphered,
and they certainly indicate a strong anti-savery
zeal. and some concerted action on the subject, to
operate in South Caf0lina.

ESCAPE OF PKIsONkRs.-Tbs CaddO Gazette Of

from the Shreveport Jail: g The kidnappeFs, DR..
Caleb Carr, John C. Hanna and man by the name
of Moore, made their escape from our Parish Jail
on the night Of the 2Sth inst. Il il supposed by
some that they had eXtraneOus assistance. We
think, however, that the facts will bear ua out in
the assertion that they unaided, save by their
own ingenuity. They were lastweek taken out Of
the dungeon and placed in the upper story, their
manaclss and chains having been knocked of.
From thar iime until the night Of their exit, they
must have been assiduOusly engaged in picking out
the brick on the rear wall from the street. When
they had succeeded in making an AR hole sufficient
~ large for portable cOrpOrOsity, the neat movement
was TO devise a sehems to pick themselves up on
