Singular but True Statement.

There is lady IN Baker county Geor-
gia, eighty-two years of age, who has had
twenty .one children. Two of her daugh-
tiers reside near her. One of them, the
wife of Mr.. VIM. Faircloth, has had six
teen children, fourteen Of whom are now
living. The other, the wife of Mr.. Math-
ew Farcloth, has had twenty-three chill
dren, eighteen of whom are now living
nine sons and nine daughters. These la
dies are in the prime of life, with every
prospect of an increasing family. Anoth-
er sister Mrs. Parker, recently died In
Scriven county, at the age of thirty-eight
years, who had twenty-five children. If
any county in Georgia can beat Baker,
either in the luxuriance of its productions,
or the domestic increase of its population,
we should like to hear from it.

Another Flare-up in our Foreign Policy.
Cores pondence of the N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 6

WASHINGTON, Oct. y.
There has been more trouble working
in the State Department, as far as | can
learn. The Spanish Minister, M. Calde-
ron de la Barca, has had smart cores
pondence with Mr.. Clayton, about Span
ish lady, abducted from Cuba, by an Amer
lean vessel, in September last, and brought
to Philadelphia.
AS far as | can learn, the lady's name is
Sonora Zarba, Or Zarga, or Zavallo, or
something beginning with big 4. She
was living on the sea shore, within short
distance of Trinidad de Cuba, and was ta-
ken away in September last. After the
vessel-Gt was brig with a short name,
but cannot get it actly)-after the brig
sailed, she lay two in the bay, sent boat
ashore with half dozen armed men, and
took a lady with child from her resi-
dence, and put both aboard the vessel,
without passport, contrary to the laws OF
Cuba. As soon as the Senor found his
wife off, he applied to the authorities, and
the Governor of the place, as well as the
Captain General ofthe Island, issued proc
lamatlOns for the arrest of the American
captain and the detention of the vessel
But the orig was too smart for the Spanish
authorities. She got off, sailed for Phila-
delphia, and landed her fair cargo there
safely.
These are the leading facts of the case.
The Captain General of Havana commu-
nicated the facts to NJ. Calderon de la Bar
ca, at Washington, and a terrible rumpus
has been raised. 1t is called an insult TO
the Spanish laws, committed by the Amer
can brig. The Secretary of State and the
Spanish Minister have had it hot and hea-
Wy. The latter says it as bad, if not worse,
than the Rey case, which caused so furious
an excitement in New Orleans. The Sec
retary of State is at his wits end. Neither
beer nor burnt brandy can keep him out OF
hot water. The Spanish Minister insists
that the American government should send
back the lady, and make full apology
otherwise terrible things may ensue. The
prevention of the late expedition to Cuba
| by the President has not removed the fears
and iealousies of the government in Cuba
They have no confidence in the Yankees.
! So they say. Would it not be better tc
take Cuba and annex it at once?

now it is too dangerous an example, and
great efforts will be made to blot out all
such. The difficulty lies in he attitude
TO be assumed by France, and on that de-
pends the future fate of Switzerland and
the peace of Europe.
Much will depend. too, no doubt, on
the conduct of the British ministry. 1t
will be appealed to by the Swiss, and de-
fed, if it should demonstrate, by the pow
ers of the East. If England and France
think as one upon the question, it is deci-
ded, and Switzerland is safe. If they dis
agree, and seperate, the fate of Hungary is
to be feared for Switzerland.

Rattle Snake Hunter.

Among the wilds of Lake George, in
the northern part of this state, there is an
old man who makes his living by catching
rattle snakes, pulling the teeth of those he
wants to sel to showmen, and making oil
out of others-an oil which ignorant peo-
pie have been quackized to believe in its
superior virtues for rheumatism and sprains.
To catch them he employs strong leather
loop or moose attached to the end of a
pole eight or ten feet in length. With this
pole he cautiously approaches the den, in
front of which the snakes bask in the sun,
placing the moose over the head and neck
the moose being so constructed that
when the snake struggles, the tighter he is
held, rendering escape impossible. When
the old fellow wishes to tame them and
render them harmless he extracts their
fangs in the following manner: He lays
the head across a log of wood, then places
his foot on the neck, pre- ssing it until his
snakeship throws back his upper jaw
the mode in which they bite; he then ap-
plies pair of pincers, and with the cool
ness of an experienced dentist pulls oat
the fangs one by one!

the necessary cost of the present military
establishment maintained by the larger
population, the same protection might be
had for tithe of the money
So far, then, it is evident, that the items
of increased expense, rendered necessary
by change, would be incalculablv great
er in the case of Federal Union. than in
that of Annexation. Let US see what
would be the advantages. The great ad-
vantages to be looked for in either case,
arise from enlarged markets for our pro-
duce-an increased field for our future in
dustrial enterprises. Now a Federal
Union of the British Provinces would add,
if they were all customers, only five hun
dred thousand people to our commercial
system. Of-our two staples, lumber and
breadstuffs, these five hundred thousand
people would require nothing but bread
stuffs. But Annexation to the United
States would add twenty millions to our
commercial system; would give us markets
wherever railroad, canal, sea-going ship,
or pack horse could transport our present
produce; and would open the same vast
region to our manufacturers, protected from
foreign competition by a high differential
tariff. Instead of taking our Ibreadstuffs
only, this immense population would, every
year, require more and more of the produce
of our forests, while the funds which came
here IN return, would accumulate till they
grew into capital, and were reinvested in
the manufacture of fresh sources of profit.
I Finally, the Federal Union would give nc
privileges to our Canadian vessels-steam-
ers or otherwise-which they do not now
t possess; annexation would give free entry
to our craft in every water of the Cont
! nent.
| The contrast is succinctly stated but we
think it is sufficiently striking to induce
: any one who reflects upon it to give uE
the Federal Union, and cleave to the lar
: ger, and better measure.

Tremendous Fire at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Uci

Five steamboats, lying at the Levee, were
destroyed by fire last evening. The fire
broke out on board the Falcon soon after
IL o'clock. A strong wind prevailing the
flames spread TO the steamer Illinois, and
thence to the Marshal Ney. All exertions
to save the boats were unavailing.
Several piles of freight on. the levee were
burnt. Other boats were in danger but
were saved.
The Falcon is u new boat built at Lou
isyille, where she is insured by the owner
for $4,000. She arrived yesterday morn
ing, and fortunately had discharged nearly
all of her cargo.
The Marshal Ney had taken in a very
valuable cargo of forwarding goods for the
West, among which were one thousand
hogsheads of sugar. The loss of boat and
cargo will not fall short of eighty thousand
dollars. The owners of the Ney reside
in st. Louis and are believed to be insu
red.
The Illinois arrived at noon yesterday
with a very valuable cargo of Western
produce, portion of which was dischar
ged yesterday afternoon, but the remainde
was burnt together with the boat. Severa
passengers, who were still on board th'
boat at the time, narrowly escaped with
their lives. Captain and pilot owned three
eights of the boat, whichIwere notinsured
The other five-eights were insured in St
Louis.
The Aaron Hart had on hand a very
valuable cargo, which, with the boat, wa
| consumed. The boat was owned in Gin
cinnati, and valued at $4,000.
The America was an old boat, of little
value.

Austrian Hue-aud-Cry after EOssuth.

That the fugitive chieftains and leaders
of Hungary have no mercy to expect, If
they fall into Austrian clutches, is evident
from the writ now issued for catching them
if possible, with a description of their per-
sons, to enable the police to recognize and
identify them. The list contains go such
writs of which we give few by way OF
specimen:
"BEM, CHARLES, insurgent general, be-
tween so and So years of age, of midling
stature, thin, has round face, brownish
ruddy complexion, low forehead, gray
