Fson the Della Of yesterday, we copy the above
weIlmeriisd compliment ii pays Mr., Hunt. We
concur IN all It says, both Of that eminent citizen
aud his treatment
He has Iabored diligently in the wing cause, and
The wing party Of this Stale would feel highly gra-
died by seeing him appointed Attorney General
Louisiana never has had but one Cabine, appoint
meni, that Of Edward Livingston.
Mr. Hunt is one Of the most learned civilians in
the country, and he would be of great service 10
the Supreme Court in the argument Of the import
AMI suits going up from Louisiana and Missouri.
The same remarks viii apply, with equal justice,
10 ], r. Benjamin. The appointment Of either
would equally crafty the wing party. We fear,
however, thai neither Of these gentlemen would
give up their lucrative practice here, for the costly
honor Of the Astorneyship.
In the distribution Of these Cabinet honors, Lou.
isiana has claims on Mr.. Fillmore. Ii is admitted
now, BY friends and foes. that the tone of public
feeling in Louisiana did much 10 neuiralize the
hostility which had been excited in the South
against him. That feeling in his favor sprang up
in New0rleans, and was extended through the
Southwest Al one time, the popularity Of Gen.
Taylor was thought to be not strong enough to
carry through the aboIitionist, Willard Fillmore.
Louisiana met and repealed the charge, and the
broken regiments rallied behind her position.
President Taylor could not confer Cabinet ap.
pointment on his own State but such objection no
longer exists, and we hope Mr. Fillmore will not
forget The State which stood by him in the most
trying hour Of his liis-a State which, in proper
ton to its population Is The most deeply Interested
in the Southern question; but which refused 10
take any part in sectional Conventions-a State
deUoted to che Un,on.

A Battle with Snakes, and Capture of

Since the exhibitions in London of the two Hin
doc snake -Charmers-the first we believe who
have ever visited EurOpe--every thing relating to
serpents to have acquired additional interest
Many facts regarding the nature and habits OF the
various species, have been published, atlording
much information and still greater astonshment.
WaterOn, in his I" Wanderings in South America
and hs Antilles, in 1Sl2-lS24," relates some sto-
RES of so marvellous a character, that, coming
from less authentic source, their truth might rea
sOnaby be doubted.
While in the region Of the Mibrir Hill, Mr.. Wa
ierton long sought in vain for a serpent of large
size and finally offered a reward to the negroes if
they would find him one. few DAYS afterwards
one of the natives, followed by his little dog came
to him with the Information that a snake of re.
spectacle dimensions had been discovered q short
distance up the hill; and, armed with an eight.
foot lance, and accompanied by two negroes with
Cutlasses and the dog, he at started TO take
look Mt it. Mr. WalerOn states that he was bare
foot, with old hat, check shirt, and trousers on
and pair Of braces to keep them up. His snake.
ship pointed out as lying at the roots Of a are,
tree, which had been torn up by a whirlWind-bu
the remainder of the story shall be given in the
travellers own words
So advanced up TO the place slow and cautious
The snake was well concealed, but at last | madt
him out it was a CUuIaCauaCa, not poisonous, bu
large enough to have crushed any Of us to death
On measuring him afterwards, he was something
more than fourteen long. This species of snake il
very rare, and much thicker, in proportion 10 h
length, than any other snake in the forest. A cou
lacanara of fourteen feet in length is thick
common boa of twenty -four. After skinning thin
snake, could easily get my head into his mouth
as the singular formation of the jaws admits O
wonderful extension.
"On ascertaining the size of the serpent, SLOWLY

to the negro who had shown it to me, and one tc
the other who had joined us. Aware that the day
was on the decline, and that the approach of nigh

struck me that could take him alive. | imagined
if | could strike him with the lance behind tin
