Fatal affair In FLoRrDA.--On the 10th inst
T.. W. Clark, Of st. Mary's, killed young man
named VIM. II. Taylor, at the house of Mr..
Harrison in Nassau county. Clark, who is the
son-in-law Of Harrison, was on n visit to his
fatber-in-law's family; Taylor lived in Harrisons
house, being employed as teacher of his children.
A Misunderstanding occurring between Clark
and Taylor, on the morning Of the 10th, exciting
language was used by both. whereupon Clark
drew pistol and fired at Taylor; Taylor re-
turned the fire, wounding Clark in the shoulder
To prevent further difficulty, Taylor was advised
to leave the premises, and was in the act o
mounting horse for that purpose when his an
tagonist, having seized gun from some return

taking effect in his back, paused through him

Old Point Comfort,

We learn that Messrs. BEVERLY TUCKER OF
this city, DAVID F. KEELING of Norfolk, and
GEORGE BOOKER of Elizabeth city, Va, have
received grant from the Secretary Of War, t.
erect large and commodious Hotel at Ok
Point Comfort, or Fortress Monroe, at the out
let of Chesapeake Bay. We understand tha
such has been the throng TO this celebrated re
away for want of room.
The gentlemen who have embarked in this
enterprize, intend to establish house of ample
dimensions and Of the first order.
We know of no place that will assemble so
large concourse of Southern visters as Old
Point tits convenient and accessible by steamers
from Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk, and Rich
mond, and from all the South Atlantic coast be-
bathing, and sea breeze to be found on the Ame-
rican shore.
II will form a grand place Of reunion for the
taste, fashion, beauty, wealth, and talent Of the
South. And il will furnish place of resort tn at
will leave no excuse to Southern people for
going North to spend their money at Saratoga
and Newport where the society is not equal to
that of the South, in elegance and intelligence
and where the enemies of the South profit by the
expenditure.
If this establishment is fitted up according to
the plans of the enterprising gentlemen con
cerned, and from what we know of their energy,
we infer that it will, probably, become the most
eminent place of resort in the country. 1t will
even attract large portion of the best society
of the North, people who are becoming rather
dsgusted with the vulgar profuson and preten-
sion Of parvenues, who dash at the Northern
Watering places, but who would receive little
countenance among people of simpler manners
and established character in the South.

SATURDAY, JULY aS, 1851.
InsratataAs.

IagrasatsAe.
We received letter yesterday from gentle
man in North Carolina, requesting US to stoI
his paper, because we oppose the compromis,
and he supports Infinitely prefsring it to
dissolution Of the Uniou
We think the compromise men Of the Souti
behave towards " with great ingratitude. Whel
that scheme was adopted, it was denounced a
the North as an aggression Oh that section, by
large party who talked of dsunion, rather thar
submit to it. We denounced it on the othe,
hand AS an aggression on the South. And such
was the force of our arguments that they have
convinced the malcontents Mr. SEWARD, and
MIR. JoHH VAH BuREH, and the great anti.
slavery convention in the city of New York.
all became 80 fully convinced that the compro-
mise was an aggression and outrage on the
South, that they all came out in favor of pre-
serving such glorious Union, as enabled them
TO perpetrate such things with impunity. Even
FREDERICK DOUGLASS renounced his previous
hostility to the Union, and declared in favor of
it. Nay more than that-the emperor Sou
louque, of Hayti, got information Of the great
blessings Of Union to free negro policy, and
how land could be taken away from large bodies
of white people after they had once fought for
it. and they would not fight for it again. So
Mr.. SoULoUoUE Immediately proposed union
Of his black subjects with the white republic of
San Domingo-the latter having three times as
much land as Hayti, and only one-third the
population. And he wrote pathetic proclama-
ton for Union.
Now if We did not convince the Northern
fanatics that the compromise was an aggression
on the South, who did! And if they had not
been so convinced, and thereby converted to a
love fthe Union, how could it have been saved /?
Did we not quiet their minds on the Fugitive
slave law, by proving that it was not, and could
not be executed? and have they not at length
been convinced of that
Now, all this time, we have been opposed in
our labor of pacifcation by the Southern com
promisers. They asserted that the Fugitive
slave law was, and would be, executed, and
thereby did much to exasperate the great and
powerful body of Northern fanatics, and ALLEVIATE
them from the Union. Nay some of the South
ern compromisers even went 30 far as to con-
tend ioith the Northern fanstics, that the South
did get the advantage by the compromise and
if we had not confuted them, who can pretend
that we would now have the aid of SEWARD
VAN BURES, FRED. DoUeLAs, and the Abolition
convention, to save the Union!
1t is now evident to us that republics are un
grateful

New AND PORTABLE AIR-GUN-We were
yesterday afternoon admitted to a private in
spection and demonstration Of the powers Of a
newly invented air-gun, the production of Mr.
+. ID. Arstall, who discharged in very rapid and
continuous succession, many scores of bullets,
from n fragile tube connected with gutta
percha reservoir. The whole Of the bullets per-
forated most completely thick plank target,
and indented a plate Of quarter-inch sheetiron
placed at the black. The exhibition took place
in the large lecture room, No. IL, Lime-street,
and was attended by many scientific gentlemen,
who freely inquired ss to the various properties
and advantages of the invention, all of which
were satisfactorily explained by Mr.. Arstall and
his intelligent assistant. BY means of this gun
charge of atmospheric air can be effected in
two or three minutes, sufficient to propel at least
hundred balls in instantaneous succession
and ms there is neither flash nor report, and the
weapon is much lighter than the ordinary mus
ket, we have no doubt that among many other
uses to which it may be applied, in new colonies
where the settlers are thinly scattered, it will
prove great desideratum in affording protec-
ton against predatory incursions For our own
part, we were more particularly struck with the
advantages offered by the adap.abiity of the
weapon TO a charge of carbonic acid ras a
power 80 easily generated, the materials being
30 plentfully found in all countries and situa-
tions, and the utter impossibility of explosion,
being 30 securely guarded against simply by
keeping the acid and alkaline solutions in Sc
parate tubes and allowing small drop of each
to meet in the gas tube at each opening of the
trigger.-The inventor states that he has only
partially perfected bis ideas at present: when
completed, we have no doubt it will prove the
"hesd pacihcator' of the world, by the very in
tensity of it, destructive power, and its por-
table and cheap ammunition liverpool Times.

How SETS THE WIND We have caynft,1x,

AGRICULTURE IN FRAScE.-A letter writer
for the Republic says:
"a trip of six hundred and fifty miles, from
the northern and southern extremity of France,
justi6es me in the expression of my opinion
that Gods sun does not shed its rays on so fair
land, or one so thoroughly cultivated The
whole country is literally garden. Every
square foot, form the mountan-top down TO the
lowest rayne, is made to produce something If
il be susceptible of it. Their mode of planting
or sowing their crops, whether on plain or hill
side, produces the finest effect on the appear
ance of the landscape the space allotted for each
crop is laid out in squares or parallelograms
with mathematical precision, and, whether large
or small, the best garden could not be divided
with greater accuracy. As there are no fences
or hedges, and as the different crops are in
various stages of maturity you can imagine the
variety of hues that meets the eye, and the
magnifcence of the panorama that stretches out
in every direction far as the vision can pene
trate. am sorry to add, in this connexion, that
seven-eighths of the agricultural labor is per-
formed by females, while two or three hundred
thousand stalwart men in uniform are dlinp
away their time in the barracks of the cities and
villages. In the absence of fences cattle, se-
cured by ropes, are driven about their pasturape
by females and sheep are confined within the
required limits by boys, assisted by shep-
herds dog. Speaking Of cattle reminds me that,
notwithstanding fresh pork is abundant enough
in market, both in England and France, have
not seen live porker in either country
