manage to get through the business tolerably well
too. An immense number of persons, recovered from
insensibility, have recorded their sensations, and
agree that easier end could not be desired. An
acquaintance of Lord BACON, who meant to hang
himself was cut down in the last extremity, and de-
clared that he felt pain, his only sensation being
that of fire before his eyes, which changed first to
black and then skyblue, affording of plea

RENNE, complained that having lost all pain the

charm defed all description. Another, who escaped
by the breaking of the cord said that after second

Il SAM OF WILD CHERRY was introduced in

Consumption in It's incipicnt stages than any other
medicine.

Dsslun.

We copy the following article, with some few al
terations, from The Frederick Herald, and commend
IL TO the attention Of readers for tho information
il gives in relation 20 the great Nashville
ton, proposed to be held in June next.
The proposition that all the slavchOlding States
should, in certain contingencies, hold convention
at Nashville, Tennessee, apparently originated in
The State Of Mississippi; but its true origin doubt
less in South Carolina. the great hotbcd Of nuli-
cation, disunion, &c.
A convention held during the past fall in
Mississippi by the people Of that State series OF
resolutions Affirming the rights Of southern States
on the question Of slavery were adopted The prin.
cipal or most important one being the following:
THAT the institution of slavery in the southern
States is left by the Constitution exclusively under
the control Of the States in which IL exists as part
of their domestic policy, which they and they only
have the right TO regulate ABOLISH pcrpetuate
they may severslly judge cxpcdent and that all
attempts the part of Congress, O. others, To in
erfere with this subject, either directly indirectly
are in violation of the Constitution, dangerous o.
the rights and safety Of the South and ought TO be
promptly resisted"
This resolution, Il will be seen, affrms truism;

holding aud free, would acknowledges sound and

Local Matters.


FmE.--A fire broke out in the back building of
the house occupied by Mrs. Morley, as a millinery
store, Pennsylvania avenue running back TO ID
between 9th and 10th streets, yesterday afternoon
between three and four O'Clock; and although
threatening at one time the destruction of the
house, was, by the judcious and prompt action Of
the fire department, soon subducd, no damage OF
consequence being done TO the building The fire,
when first discovered, proceeded from bed near
the window, which was pulled into the street.
We learn the fire originated from the falling OF
some SCOT from the chimney, which, communicat-
ing with some loose paper shavings, reached the
bed, and but for the early discovery, must have
destroyed much valuable property.
THE SWISS BELL RISGERs.--Thesc admirable
musicians have consented TO remain with us three
days longer. Their performances with the bells
are of the most unique and extraordinary, and at
the same time pleasing kind. The company con-
sists Of persons and the bells range from the
deepest bass TO the tinicst alto Jingle heard from a
fine toned piano. Besides their bell performances,
the Bell Ringers entertain their auditors with very
agreeable music on the violin, trumpet and violon-
cello, and diversity their exhibitions also with
vocal music. They perform at three O'Clock in the
afternoon, and at half-past seven at night. A
more innocent recreation for children, or a more
pleasing for young or old, cannot easily be
found

Boston Journal, writing from on board the bark VIM.
o. Alden, bound TO California, Gays Son Saturday,
January s, at daylight, lat 40 03' NJ, 27o 05 W.,
we saw two sail TO the eeward Of US, about ten
miles distant, very near each other. In about an
hour after We discovered them, the smaller dis
appeared. Captain Alden made the larger one 10
be bark bound 10 the northward. About O'Clock
the smaller sail out from under the lee of the
bark and stcercd 5. g., we steering at the same
time s. with the wind little free. The bark kept
ON her course little while, then hauled her wind
and stood for US near as she could lay, we being
| almost dead 10 the windward Of her. She stood on
this tack for some time, when, seeing that we
showed no signs Of running oil our course some 10
or is miles TO speak her, she put her helm up and
went on her northerly course again. In the mean
time the other vessel kept close hauled upon the
wind, standing for us or across our bows. At
IL O'clock we made her out to be schooner,
painted all black side, while on the other she
had red streak. AT III O'Clock that night she
passed within fifteen rods of our bows-then di-
rectly under our stern--then either side of the
bark. The next morning the captain saw what she
was, and thought that she wanted to take him. as
he supposed that she had robbed the bark we saw
Yesterday. BY keeping all hands below, except
the watch on deck, until he got alongside, we were
in hopes to get him on board, when he would have
with hearty reception; but, failing in this, we
intended to have run him down IL he came under
our lee again On Sunday, about noon, he hauled his
lib sheets to weather, and seemed to wait for
We now gave our vessel good full, in hope he would
fall little more to the leeward. We mustered
fiftyseven guns and pistols, and had themall ready,
beside crowbars, and pick-axes in abundance.
Captain Alden saw five guns board Of him,
when he was the nearest to us-two a side and a
large one amidships. They took the tarpaulin of
of them, and fixed their locks. The schooner was
then so near that the men on her deck could be
counted. There were fourteen, beside some
groes who showed their woolly pates from the fore
castle. We tried all in our power to get him on
board, and also to get on board Of him. but without
avail Our boys were ready for the sport, and anx-
ious TO give him welcome.

pcachy, January 24th that the 18th Of last month";
an important capture was made during one Of the
guerilla excursions of the Yucatccos leading
Indian chief, one Of considerable influence with his
tribe, taken prisoner, and with him 50 500 in
money. A large quantity Of arms, ammunition,
&C., also fell into the hands Of the victors. This
considered quite important achievement,
and perhaps will hasten the termination of the war,
which has given evidence Of exhaustion for some
time past

An anecdote is current in the political circles,
which is of some Importance exhibiting the feel
ing Of portion Of the South on the subject which
has excited 30 much interest and apprehension. 1t
is stated that Gen. Armstrong, late u. S. Consul at
Liverpool, to whom Gen. Jackson bequeathed the
sword which he wore at the battle of New Orleans,
recently declared, in conversing upon the proposed
southern convention, if that body should adopt
measures contemplating dissolution of the Union,
he would unsheath the sword and rally the people
of Tennessee TO expel it, as entertaining treason
able designs. give the anecdote it is familiarity
related, explaining the introduction of Gen. Arm
strong's name by the fact that he has long occu-
pied high position in the Democratic party of the
South, enjoyed the confidence of Gen. jackson and
all his political successors down to Mr. Polk, who
conferred upon him the best Office in his gift.
