The HUsGAR1As HERonE.-The Charleston
News has the following anecdote about the gal
liant Miss Jagiella, the heroine Of the Hunga-
rian war:
The Hungarian heroine, Miss Jagiello, on Wis.
ting the President, yesterday, was requested
by him to accept a commission in the United
States service, in case there shall be another
war. This was a great joke fora sober looking
man like Mr.. Fillmore, but he did not say
whether the profered commission was to apply
to cavalry or infantry. What q glorious sigh.
it would be to see the brave lady mounted al
the head Of a regiment 81 our Dragons! How
the Indians would struggle to capture the sight
ing squaw!" Suppose her courage should earn
the title of General, and she should marry q
Colonel, would the boys be Generals or Colo.
nels! Here is question for the Naturalists

THE MURRELL Observation-Disclosures
reasons exist for surprising this noted and much
to be dreaded gang Of thieves to be IN fnh blast,
with their headquarters for stealing negroes i'm
mediately in our midst. On Sunday night, the
10Th inst, the Genital Plank Road Company
lost nine, who were doubt ess selected by acoiI-
noiseur fiom he entire gang, numbering about
seventy, and at work upon the road about
twelve miles above Wetumpka. Those miss
ing are all large, young, active, healthy, and
fn4 looking blacks, save Cato, the supposed
leader Of the gang. Not the slightest trace Of
these negroes has yet been obtained. 1t will be
well for purchasers to look strictly 70 the char
meter of parties offering negroes for sale. Too
much care, in this respect, cannot well be exer-
cised, as negroes are daily disappearing from all
around US, and no doubt through the agency,
mainly, Of negro ~steaIers and abolitionists.-

HoRRiD REvErGE.-We take the following
from the CarroIlton (Miss) Democrat, Of the
24th uit:
A youth only twelve years Of age, the SON
Of MI. Legal Farris, Of Carroll county, was
committed to Jail at this place on Thursday last,
to await his trial at our next term of the circuit
court, on a charge of killing his father. We
were not present at the committing trial, and
Of course know nothing Of the circumstances
which led to SO horrid adeed, except what Mad
am Rumor ssys. It appears that his father had
given him a most unmerciful beating, and that
the boy a short time thereafter found his father
asleep. He procured an axe, q BIG IA
ther yet slept, with two blow with
the weapon split the skull = epla-
ces. We repeat, we do not y ruth
or accuracy Of this statement mere
street rumor. The father was not oead when
last heard from, but the attending physician, we
understand, says there is nc possible chance for
his recovery.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OPERAT1os.-We are
informed that a surgical operation was recently
performed by a physician Of this city, the result
Of which is almost, unparalleled in the annals
of surgery. For a long time past a Mrs. Kene-
dy had suffered intensely from some unknown
cause, the seat of pain being in the bottom Of
the abdominal cavity. At times she felt a SEN
sation of some creeping thing moving aboutln
the abdomen. At length her distress became
so great that, after much persuasion, she and her
husband induced DR.. Wright, who attended her,
to perform an operation, which was skifuIl,y
done. To their utter establishment they found
a large, irregular-shaped tumori in the abdomen,
and, on opening it discovered two worms,
eighteen and fifteen inches in engih. Iaerep-
tiles were Of a blueish-g.een color, striped, the
upper part being darker than the lower. They.
were removed, much to the relief of Mrs. Ken
edy, who is now doing well. The worms have
been placed in a jar Of spirits for preservation,
and are now at the office Of Dr.. Wright.-Bos-
ton Journal.

The Surveyors Report.

W. invite the attention of the public to the
following article Of the Report of the Sur
veyors, published in another column:
aSEc. s. That the levee system should
be improved and enforced that the construc-
ton, keeping and repairing ofthe levees should
be placed under the immediate control Of State
officers. Adopted unanimously"
We feel confident, that in this Parish, this
section Of the report will be unanimously con-
demned. From what we have learned from
gentlemen interested in this matter, and who
have thought much upon the subject, leyying a
tax for a general leveeing system, with m
GUS officers to supcrintend the work Gas a mat
ter of course) would be the greatest curse
that has ever befel the State. The result in
the main would be, that the planter would not
only be saddled with an extra tax for this object,
| but nine out Of ten would likewise have, as
hitherto, to look to their l~eyees, note the weak
points, and finish in a proper manner, or do
wholly, the work that belonged to the State.
Is it reasonable to suppose that the State off,
GERS who have but little to lose il the matter,
would pay more attention to the leyee than the
planter himself. whose all is at stake? Not at
all. The people in this parish wish some strin-
gent law relative to levees and we have no
doubt they would willingly submit to a tax by
the State for this object, if the tax raised in the
Parish for that purpose, should be appropriated
to work ,cithin the Parish, and instead Of being
overseered by State officers, to be under the
control oftwo superintendent belonging to the
parish, Zone on each side of the river,) who
should receive a good salary for that purpose,
and who should be accountable to the Police
Jury for any dereiiction Of their duties. This
last suggestion is not our own; it is that OF
ore of our intelligent planters, who has paid
much attention to the subject, and which, we
think, is a most admirable recommendation;
such persons, being responsible agents, would
have no d~elicacy in regard to their duties, but
Immediately enforce al! those regulations
which the Police Jury should deem expedient
to make from time to time, rs occasions re-
quire.
In our paper Of to-day we publish an. ordi-
nance of the Police Jury upon this subject,
but still very far from being perfect. Commis-
saries Officers Of honor) are not, generally
speaking, going to bring suits and make them
selves enemies, when there is no interest Or res
possibility attached to their Office. But if they
were parish superintendents who had this duty
to perform, they would feel both morally and
pecuniarily obliged to do what they were hired
to perform, without the fear Of any mans dis
pleasure.

GAZING Is.-A number of acres Of the river
bank, extending up from the mouth of Bayou
p,aouemine, have cayed in within the last few
DAYS, and as the water at that point is still very
deep, much apprehension is entertained that
the earth will continue to give way. tits upon
the land of MI. GERvAls S~cHLATRE, situated in
a bend of the river, where the whole force OF
the current strikes. This alarming land sl'de'
has greatly widened the mouth Of the Bayou
and "a q matter Of course, in it's present state,
a much larger body Of water will hereafter
rush down this bayou when the river is high.
# the earth continues TO sink at this point, the
most serious consequences may be anticipated
mot to our town, but to those who live on
the bayous in our rear.
