A Baltimore paper, of the 9th inst,
gives the following accoun, of an acci-
dent in that city Of rather serious
nature:
"A most singular. but probably fatal
accident, occurred in this city on Sun
day nigh, last. 1t appears that a Mrs.

catch some rats that had located them
selvs in her chamber closet. On reti.
ring to her room at night, she set the
spring of the trap, and laying it on a
chair by the bedside, proceeded to an
other part of the room. TO prepare the
bait, intending 10 place it in the closet.
In The meantime, her husband came in
and proceeded to prepare for bed. aad
after undressing, not observing the trap,
sat down on the chair to pull off his
stockings. The moment he touched the
trap. the spring moved, and the camps
caught him in the most horrible manner,
mulilaling him SO dreadfully, that after
Suffering the most circulating pain, his
physicians were compelled to resort TO

THE HIGHER lava new mode
of administering justice has recently been
instituted among our colored population.
A few days since, Mr.. Warren, OF
Memphis, Tenn, stopped at the Den
nison House with slave, who was a
well looking aud well dressed black man.
The boy, preferring to take quarters
among his own color, obtained permits
sion of his master, and transferred him.
self to the Dumas House, on McAllis-
ter street. He had been domiciled there
but few hours, when he was invited
into The upper part of the building, where
he was ushered into conclave of blacks.
who were convened for the purpose OF
summarly trying him on charge of ac-
ting as spy over fagilives from the
South.
The poor fellow contrived to get word
10 his master, on pretence of procuring
letter TO prove his innocence. Officers
Bloom and Campbell were dispatched
to the premises. They found the blacks
armed, but arrested and brought them
befor the Mayor. who held them for ex-
animation. 1t appeared that the slave
had been released, the testimony lot
being sufficient to establish his guilt.
The committee who were dispatching
business were in favor, in case Of proof
being satisfactory, of giving the priso.
ner enc hundred lashes,- Gin. Ga.

Expedition Against sonora.

The piratical expedition having for its
object the subjugation Of the Mexican
province Of Sonora has proved COM
plete abortion. happears that the marau-
ding party sailed from ST. Diego with the
intention of landing at Mazatlan, but the
leaders got into debt and difficulty, a
general quarrel ensued and the expedi-
ton was abandoned. 1t is said, how
ever, that this is only the beginning OF
the end--that the Governor of Sonora
is in the plot and will do his best to
throw the provinces into the hands of
the Americans, and that before the fall
is over, boath Sonora and Lower Cali
ifornia will be in the hands Of despera-
does from the United States.
Ii is probable that the movement OF
these lawless men, furnish the true key
to the arbitrary policy of the Mexican
Government in relation to our country
men on the lsihmus of Tehuantepec.
distinction should be made however,
between our engineers and worxmen on
the lsthmus protected by treaty. and the
pirates who propose to hold by force
of arms an integral portion of the Mex
lean Republic.

Big gIen.

In many a foot tramp in Western Vir-
ginia and Little Tennsee, we have had
occasion to remark the ,oeighf of them;
but Cover Floyd, in Fourth OF a
July speech he made at Richmond; e.
clipses anything we have there SEEM
We quote:
"I'he Governor said he did not rise to
make speech and would not. There
were members of the Convention there.
They could speak, with quizzical
glance at two distinguished members on
his right.) The time was when he was
'.some pumpkins" as stump speaker,
but it had gone by long since. He made
no pretentions then. He would con-
clude by telling them story of his be-
coming volunteer, and by offering a
sentiment. The story was this: In the
mountain country where he came from,
