From fhe COlu,nbus Times

| We submit then, that it is too late for the
Patriot" to question the principle of Southern
political union, which is the basis of the Nash
vile platform 1t is too late to ask "cui bono ~
when we take our stand on that platform The
" Patriot" and the Times" are both enlisted I'M
der that flag We cannot serve two masters
we must choose between the God Of country
and the Mammon of prty. We can have no
divided allegiance The new cause is grand
enough to absorb every feeling and to command
every pulsation Of a true Southern heart Divi-
sion has been the bane, union is only the anti
dOte. We must take the antidote, or i'm the
language of that noble son of Massachusetts.
Caleb Gushing, used to Massachusetts men on
the 4th inst, death and dishOnor is the portion

aWho is Mr. Toombs, that we should follow
him r. asks the patriot" If Mr. Toombs is
the man, the following sentiments indicate him
to be, we shall not enquire who mas Mr.
| Toombs. ..,
| Hear him: .r...s
81 stand upon the great principle that the
South has right to an equal participation in the
| Territories Of the United States claim the
right for her to enter them with her property,
| and securely to enjoy it, She will divide with
you if you with it, but the right to enter all or
divide shall never surrender"
| What says the aPatriot" to this sentiment {?
| Is it not broad enough to comprehend the entire
demands of Southern rights and Justice? Will
such man be rejected by an upholder Of the
| Nashville Platform? For ourself, if Mr. Toombs
had been political Lucifer, and if he were fresh
from the shades below, with all the sins of a
| party Tartarus on his head, we should welcome
! him with the right hand of Southern brother
hood, and fight by him or under him, the good
! fight of Southern equality in the American
Union, so long as he stood firm to these noble
| sentiments.
| Oh, but the "party the Democratic party
shall we give that upl ;" excaims the aPatriot'
Yes give up everything but Southern rights
! and honor, and count it small sacrifice for
mighty good. If the Democratic party were
true as steel and knit in union of purpose as
! firmly as the iibres of the live oak, the Demo
cratic party cannot alone save the South. II
needs party of the whole people to do it, and
then il will take all their courage all their efforts
all their fortitude. .
But what shall we say of Democratic party
that contains Cobb and n Foote who have
sacrificed the South to its idols--an Athens
Banner" that dares say the South casks toe
much when it demands recognition Of slavery

More HUMBUGGERr.-A female medical edu-
cation society has been organized at Boston, under
an act Of incorporation granted by the Massachu-
sets legislature. They have already established
a medical school for the education of females
When women commences the practice of surgery
and physic, she enters profession for which she
was never designed-one which no truly refined
and rightly educated woman would ever think Of
entering. These female medical schools are rath-
er disgrace than AN honor to their sex.-B,.falo
Republic.
Come, come, friend Republic, don't be so severe.
Who, think you, more fit to stand by the bed side
Of the sick and dying, than kind, sympathising
woman' The medicinal draught she administers,
will often be accompanied by smile fraught with
hope and beamng with tenderness. We would
prefer female physician. Why, the heavy step
Of male practitioner has often sent the blood
impulsiveiy back to our heart, and his stern fea-
lures have impaired any thing but cheerful hope
to his patient. See the differenee,--a female ply
stefan enters the house, ascends the steps nois-
lessy, and comes into your room so silently, that
she is at your bedside before you aware that
she is even in the house. Then how pleasant to
have q small, soft, dmped hand feeling your
pulse and a sweet musical voice asking the nu i.
n,erous necessary questions. BOUNDS, it's too
much. We intend to have n severe attack of
something, shortly after the first female physician
graduates in this city, and employ her.-Philadei-
phid Sun.

The WREcKERs We learn from gentleman
who has Just returned from Fire Island where the
Elizabeth was wrecked, that the Collector has
made several important discoveries of stolen and
secreted goods More than forty persons are
ported to be implicated in the disgraceful business.
In one house alone, about thousand pounds of
wool were found; in another, some fifty bars Of
soap; in third box of silks, and in others
TASKS Of oil, Leghorn straws, and the clothes OF
the passengers. Packages were found snugiy
slowed away in cellars, many miles distant from
the place Of the wreck. One woman had on
dress, recognised as one belonging to the late Mar
garet Fuller. Pieces of clothing, also supposed
to belong to her husband and child, have been
captured
But nothing has yet been discovered as to the
bodies Of the persons lost, and the gentleman to
whom we allude is decidedly of opinion that they
have been secretly buried somewhere by the
wreckers IL is known that both she and her hus-
band had fastened what money and yauables they
possessed about their waists; and the supposition
is, that when their bodies were washed ashore,
they were plundered by the pirates, and then in
tered to conceal the theft
The officers under the Collector are indefatiga-
bic in their exertions to find the pirates, all Of
whom they have determined to bring to justice.
Mr.. Maxwell returned to the city last evening,
having visited Patchogue, Isip, Babylon, Fire
Island, and other places, where goods were likely
to have been secreted. 1t is to the credit of many
of the people Of Suffolk county, that they have
rendered him all the assistance in their power, IN
ferretng the scoundres whose conduct has dis
graced that part of the island. g
Mr.. Kellogg, we learn who has been attempting
to secure the statue Of Calhoun, is now Of opinion
that the work will be lost.-.E. Y. Ere. Post.

8" On the 10Th and 18th March last, a very Sc
we're and distressing fire occurred at Laguna, Yu-
catan, by which hundreds Of families have been
deprived of home by the work Of an incendiary.
The loss Of property at this fire. is estimated at
about S5OO,O00 to 100000 about two hundred
houses were burnt. Among the public buildings
destroyed are the church of ST. Mary de Guada-
loupe, the Muncipal-house, Market-house, the
American, Spanish, and other consular houses, and

tants, they anticipate the cholera Business is at
a stand, owing to the quarantine laws being en-
forced against the small vessels which transport
logwood from the ranches. Several French barks
and other foreign vessels are lying in port waiting
for wood. At Campeachy the people are so alarmed
that they quarantine vessels from any port with
out regard to clean sicky bills Of health, from
twenty to forty days. At Campeachy there
were ten deserters from the Cuba expedition, in
quarantine they deserted when the ostensible mo-
tive of the expedition was made known, and made
their way to Sisal, from there to Campeachy

CApruRE OF A MANITEE OR SEA Cow BY the
arrival of the steamer Monmouth, Capt. Free
born, from Indian River yesterday, we learn that
Messrs. Clark and Burnhan, succeeded in cap
turing Sea Cow on the 18th inst, near Jupiter
inlet, Florida. The animal was caught in a net,
is of the male species, and is nine feet three inches
in length They succeeded in taking il alive, and
having shipped il to Charleston, in the schooner
Charleston, with the intention of exhibiting 1t at
the North during the ensuing summer, and of
bringing it Soutl, next winter. An individual
who saw it, describes 1t as remarkably curious
animal 1t was very wild when first captured,
but soon became quite tame, and now eats freely
Of grass, &c. Its tail is in the shape OF fan,
and is two feet five inches broad. II has no hind
feet its fore feet similar to those Of turtle;
has nails like those on the human hand; but no
claws. It's mouth and nose resemble those Of the
COW; has teeth the lower jaw, but none on the
upper.
Previous to the capture Of the one above des-
cribed, they succeeded in taking female, but 1t
was so large, and becoming entangled in the net,
made such desperate exertions to escape, that the
captors were compelled to shoot it. They pre-
served the skin, however, which is fifteen feet
long. q r4r .n .sa. rtat.. a.
The individuals who made the capture, were in
our city some weeks ago making the necessary
arrangements for their enterprise, and expressed
their determination to make capture. They have
succeeded, and will no doubt be amply rewarded
by the exhibition of their great natural curiosity.
| Barnum, Of the American Museum, is said to
have offered them, if successful, $40 600 for their
| prize.
This is the second instance, within our knowl-
edge, that the Sea Cow has been captured Some
years ago, during the Florida war, Col Harvey
Shot two Of them in the Everglades. He pre-
served the hides, and they were exhibited in st,
Augustine great curiosity. We saw RIB OF
one of the animals yesterday, in possession of a
gentleman Of this city, to whom it was presented
BY Col. Harvey. He informed us that he had
partaken Of the flesh, and pronounced it remarka-
bly, tender and paatable--far superior to beef.
Mr. Clark, one of the captors, is resident OF
Florida, highly respectable gentleman, and well
known in this city.--Sauarnah Ns,cs

Is-The Submissionists are attempting to hold
the friends of Southern Rights responsible for the
peculiar views Of Mr.. Rhett, of South Carolina,
simply because that gentleman was a member Of
the Nashville Convention, and prepared the Ad-
dress of that body. With the same proprety,
these craven submissioniss, and adoiizers of the
Union-these political heathens-might, them
selves, be held responsible for the mad fanaticism
of Se,card Haies, Corrin, and the long black list
Of foes the South; for the opponents Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, North, are the opponents Of
the South. These men belong to the Idol Party,
and were, one and all, party idols, q few months
ago. Such stuff is beneath reputation. We don't
| know, nor do we care, what may be Mr.. Rhetts
private notions He published no disunion in the
Convention, as primary object. His disunion
| views do not form the platform OF the Convention,
as all these croakers well know, and yet for the
purpose OF covering up their d.sgraceful and cri-
mnal treachery to the South, they are now strlv-
ing to make new issue upon Mr.. Rhett and his
peculiar views. We believe the time. has not
yet come to discuss the propriety Of disunion as
a remedy for the agg essons of the North. We
prefer to await the action of Congress and the
| Northern States. IL Congress should refuse to
| give us the Missouri Compromise, and attempt to
| fasten upon us, the gross enormties OF the Clay
| Compromise, then it may become our bounden
duty to look to a separation from the Northern
States. Until then, disunion is no remedy OF the
South, and this should become the remedy,
we conscientiousy believe the Southern States
will be driven into il by the craven hearts OF their
own sons, who, by their willingness TO submit to
anything, have authorized invited and encouraged
the aggressons that will make it necessary. If
this once proud and happy Union should ever be
dissolved upon the Abolitioniss and Submission
ists will rest the responsibility (Niss.)
