Later from Africa

We learn by private letters from Rio de
Janeiro, that the American brig Mary Ade-
line, A. Oaksmith, of New York. Master. ar
rived at that port on the 9th of August, from
the coast of Africa, where she had most
perilous and thrilling adventure with savages
on the river Congo. She was bound into
the river, with valuable cargo from
Rio Janeiro. and, on rounding Shark Point.
unfortunately got aground near the shore.
The natives seeing her helpless condition,
Aocked to the shore TO plunder the vessel,
and, in the course of the day their numbers
amounted to some three thousand They
made furious and savage assault on the ves-
sci, which was most bravefy and gailantiy
defended by Capt. Oaksmith and his crew
for come hours, till the British armed brigan-
tine Dolphin, which was fortunately in the
river, came to his rescue. and saved the yes
sci and corgo. and the lives of all on board.
though not without the loss of life on the
part of the savages: On the following day
the British steamship Firefy came into the
river. and promptly rendered every possible
aid. together with the Dolphin, to relieve the
Mary Adeline. which was at length got aAoat
and enabled to pursue her voyage without
much loss or damage. .

Remarkable feat Of an Engine-Man.

A Paris correspondent of the Washington
Republic relates the following occurrence as
having taken place on the French Northern
Railroad.-It is an example of the advantage
that sometimes arises from meeting opposi-
ton with bold front:
The passengers upon the Northern Rail
road narrowly escaped destruction some days
ago. A large cart, laden down by the weight
of an enormous block of stone, had become
fastened in among the rails, and the efforts
of the three horses at least, cut the reins and
the harness and made of The engineer saw
the obstacle, reversed the steam, and gave
the signal for the breaks. But the engine.
which was Champion, refused to obey, and
the machiuist saw the utter imposssibiity of
stopping it in time, so he put on steam again,
and drove the train with full force upon the
terrible obstacle The Wagon was shivered
to atoms, and the stone sent flying in splin-
tiers for rods in all directions. The train was
not thrown off the track, and the passengers
were unaware of any shock. They did not
hear of the danger they had run till they had
stopped al the next station, The engine
was battered, but it's vitality was not decreas-
ed The engineer. whose GOODNESS and de-
cision saved the passengers. is Pole, and
will be the object Of some tribute Of gratitude
from the company.

We are indebted to writer in the Chicago
JeuaRAl for the following sketch of a domestic
ste1s that cannot fail to touch a cord in every
parents heart:
yesterday we sew wagon loaded with
wheat coming in town-nothing strange in
that certain. A man driving the team, and a
woman perched on the load beside him. and a
child throned in the woman's lap--nothing
strange in that either. And it required no
particular shrewdness to discover that the Wo-
man was the property-personal, Of course
of the man, and that the black-eyed round
faced child was the property Of both oi
them. So much we saw--so much We sup

Locofoco majority in County,

Locofoco majority in County, 526
According to the above figures the Locofo-
cos have made gain in the county OF -four
votes over the October election. But it is
proper hear to remark that there is some
dispute as to the majorities in Rice and Wood
vile townships. 1t is said that Pierce's ma
jority in Rice is only 80. and in Woodville
l09. which would make gain for the Wings
of 23, and would leave Pierce's majority in
the county only 499.
The Wings of the county have done nobly.
In this township the Wings made gain of
26 over the October election In York town.
ship Scott gains 81 over the vote Of October.
The Wings Of the county are of the right sort.
and made all the effort possible to advance the
right Long may they wave!

The past campaign hes been very laborious
and fatiguing to the hands employed in this
Office, and that all may enjoy short recrea-
ton, we have concluded to suspend the pub
lication of the Freeman for three or four
weeks.
In the mean time we want to settle with
every man who owes US a penny. Iti abso-
lutely necessary that we should have all that
is coming to US that we may settle the honest
and just claims Of our creditors. In the estab-
lshment of the Freeman nearly four years
ago, we contracted debts that are not vet can
celed, and our friends have borne with US un-
| til forbesrance has almost ceased to be a vir-
tue, and we have come to the determination
that one Of two things must be done, to wit
We must either collect what is our due, or we
must sell our Printing Office the first would
clear us of debt, the latter course would do
the same, but throw US out of business.
! We trust therefore. our friends will. with
out exception, be ready to settle the small
amounts our due, when notified. We have
so many persons to settle with, that we hope
none will put us of with 'call again." as our
time will be limited.
Numbers of our subscribers have paid us
promptly as their subscriptions have become
due, and they may think strange that we
call upon them for few months subscription.
but we assure all that nothing but absolute
necessity compels US to this course
Numbers are owing us for advertising and
tjob-wUrk, whom we shall duly call on. We
waut to have general settlement, and when
we commence the publication of the paper
again, we don't want to owe any body, or
have any body owe US.

The New York Crystal Palace.

The ceremony Of erecting the first column
of the New York Crystal Palace came off on
Saturday last. Governor HUNT and several
distinguished gentleman were present, AMI
made addresses on the occasion. The struc-
ture of this Palace is to be really magnificent
The plan adopted is Greek Cross with IA
grand dome over the whole Intersection. one
hundred and thirty feet in height. Each
diameter of the Cross is three hundred and
sixty five feet long by one hundred and forty
nine feet in width. covering one hundred and
eleven thousand square feet on the ground,
with an additional space of sixty two thousand
feet gall .ri.s "a, ;D,t # the whole construc
ton is estimated at $l95, 1000, but will proba-
bly, largely exceed that sum ere it is ready
for use The whole is to be lit with gas after
the manner OF the London Palace; and the
general appointments and fixtures in the
building pattern after its great predecessor
Judging from the engraving which we have
before us, the Palace will be well worthy o.
its American paternity and name. The
great dome looms up like the dome of the Air
Palace in the immortal painting of COLE
and in fact the whole building reminds us U
one of CoKE's magnificent creations. The
design was furnished by two Danes of New
York, Messrs. Christensen and Gildemeister
the former Of whom designed the Tivoli anc
Casino of Copenhagen.
We anticipate much benefit will accrue 10
American Art from the coming Exhibition
the most beautiful work of the European Al
lists and Artisans will here stand side BY
side with the productions of American skill,
and, partaking of each others graces. they
will mutually combine and give birth to new
er graces aud a greater sphere of usefulness
1t is probable the fares upnn the Railroad,
leading into New York will be somewhat re-
duced next year, thus placing visit To the
Palace within the reach of most every person
We anticipate little cruise down East
about the opening day, the first Of next May
with great pleasure, and hnps to meet hun
dreds of our friends there to enj"y the sights
with US.

A REMARKABLE FooT RAcE.-In the town
of Maiden lives an elderly man, somewhat
addicted to his glass, but who managed never
theless, to accumulate about $1,000, of which
he owed about $40O to his brother, which he
exhibited no dis disposition to pay. A short
time since, he told his wife, a woman of con-
siderable energy, that he would give her his
money and she might pay his debts. She ac-
cepted the proposition and deposited the mo-
ney in bank The brother, hearing of this,
trusted the bank and obtained his debt
The wife then drew the money from the bank,
and deposited it in the house. The husband
hearing of this, and as is supposed, repenting
of his act in putting his money out of his own
possession, managed by stratsgsm, a night
or two since, to get his wife out of the house.
and ransacked it until he found the money.
His wife returned just as he was leaving the
house, and on ascertaining what he had done,
started in pursuit along the main road 10
Charleston, distance of four miles, where
the husband was arrested by a Watchman,
and kept in the watch house for the night.
The wife, who had lost her shoes soon
after she started from the house, thus runn-
ing the long distance in her stocking feet,
was put into chaise and taken back to her
home. The husband was also released in
the morning, and returned to his usual avo-
cations. Boston Traye Ter.

~T The Spanish Government are exhibi.
ting symptoms of longing to lay their hands
on the wealth Of the Church in that country
An order has been issued bv the Minister oi
Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs. directed to
the Bishops and heads of Dioceses generally
demanding complete inventory Of all the
| treasures and articles of value in the various
churches. Great pains have been taken to keep
the fact secret, but lit has transpired, and all
sorts of guesses are current as to the object
of order II is believed by some that moth
ing else is intended than to keep up the arti-
fetal credit of the State by an exhibition of
the wealth of the Church. When it is con-
sidered that the Cathedral at Toledo, for in
stance, has articles of gold and silver to the
amount Of some S7.5O0.0OO, it would be no
matter of surprise if the grand total in the
kingdom should reach $l25.o0o.oo0. 1t
would prove no easy matter, however, for the
Government to obtain possession of these
immense treasures. The inhabitants of the
country towns and villages would resist anv
attempt at removing the Church property. and
in the Cities the heirs of former benefactors
TO the churches will naturally oppose any
other application of treasures obtained from
their ancestors than that for which they
were given. A majority Of the parish priests
refuse to undertake the inventory demanded
and it is remarkable circumstance that just at
the moment when the circular is becoming
known. thefts in the churches seem to have
become the order of the day. In two weeks
toward the end of August. more thefts OF this
kind have been committed than in many pre-
vious years together.

NILE DIscoyERY.-We learn that though
our friend Bayard Taylor was prevented from
carving out his original design, by ascending
the Nile 10 its mysterious source. and though
DR.. Knoblecher, the German Missionary, has
been detained at khartuum for an entire sea-
son instead of proceeding directly to the re-
moter interior, still other active laborers have
been in the field engaged in settling the most
interesting geographical problem that re-
mains unsolved. A Mr.. Role, who early in
last winter had gained point on the White
Nile within A degrees of the equator, has
sent back an occount of his discoveries, with
a map, which has reached the French Geo
graphical Society. 1t appears from his &C
count that the upper part Of the Nile channel
is surrounded by great mountains. which ex-
tend eastwarGly from the southern Abyssin
ian range far toward the center of the CONT
nent in "A line curviny to the south. In these
mountains are nourished the many streams
whose reservoirs supply the inundations of the
Nile, continuing as they do for months. Mr..
Role finds in the country the tradition of a
white people who formerly brought merchan-
disc from the South; he supposes that these
traders were Portuguese, and that the v
crossed the mountains by some pass which is
yet to be discovered.
At about the same date with this commu-
nication. Missionary. named Don Angelo
Vico, was at place which he calls Bellenia,
on an eastern branch of the White Nile. be-
tween deg and deg N. Latitude. What
with these travellers. and with others who are
scattered over that continent it must soon be
thoroughly explored. Mr. Role speaks of the
practice Of the Egyptian Turks, who kidnap
and enslave the natives of the remote re-
gions, as hindering greatly the progress of
both scientific investigation and of commerce.
