ATTEMPTED MAIL RoDBERY.-Our old
correspondent, 'Alonzo, in commanica-
ton to the Observer, gives the following
account of an attempt to rob the mail on
the Staunton and Parkersburg Road:
On the last trip of the stage West, the
driver was attacked about one mile West
OF Monterey by two highwaymen, who
demanded of him money-he replied he
had none, but would give them the mail
by way of compromise, and pretending to
reach down in the front boot in order to
hand it out to them. Intending really to
reach for an axe which had been placed
there Tor cutting trees out of the road, ON
the mountains, and with which he hoped
to defend himself. failing to get hold of
the axe in the confusion Of the moment.
and one of the highwaymen becominn
impatient and expecting a trick, comment,
ced cutting at the driver with a knife.
when, as a last and only resort the driver
took his watering bucket and dashed It
into pieces over the head of the nearest
robber, and called for passenger who
was in the stage asleep for assistance, (be-
ing in the night, when the highwaymen
both quickly ran away. The drivers
coat was cut quite badly, otherwise he re-
ceiYed no injury. The transaction has
caused quite stir in this little village.

FRENcu CURE For HYDRemoB1A.-Tho
Paris Board of Health, in view of the pre-
valcncc of hydrophobia among the dogs
of that city, has published The following
notice
/, Every person bit by an animal who
is mad, or suspected of being mad,
should Immediately press the wound on
all sides, to force out the blood and the
virus.
2. The wound should then be imme-
diately washed with volatile alkali, with
soap suds, with lime water, with salt
water, or pure water, or if none of these
arc at hand, with urine,
3. An iron, at white heat, should
next be pressed deeply into the wound.
These directions, if rigidly followed,
will be found sufficient to ensure against
the possibility of the appearance of this
frightful contagious disease.

ScoTTSysss SSLAyERY.-<W We assert that
there is,no public man in the u. States,
whose expressed sentiments On the sub
.juct of slavery are more hostile to the
South than those of Winfield Scott. In
his letter to DIR. Atkinson of this State, he
says;
:" am persuaded that it is a high NOR.
al obligation of masters and slaveholding
States to employ all means not incompat-
IDLE with the safety ofboth colors, to me
iorate slavery even to DIFFERENTIATION"
Ifany politician has ever asserted a
more incendiary principle, we have never
SCENT. A "moral obligation to meliorate
slavery to determination r.. Shareholders
of the South Do you endorse this senti-
ment ? This is not all. The same obli-
cation To exterminate slavery rests upon
the 81, STATES. 1.-THE
master won't free his negroes, the State
MUST, is the plain English of this prin-
ciple.

would have war to the knife, and have il
you shall. We DEFY you to endorse
General Scott's Atkinson letter You
DARE not do it The sentiments it
contains are outrageous; the principles it
announces insurrectionary. And yet you
will parade report of Pierce's speech,
which his friends pronounce FALSE, in
your columns. We DEFY you to con-

WE quote. We defy you to POINT TO A

AN EFFIcAcIoUS OHA5TTSEMENF.-A
most exemplary wife had the misfortune
to wed husband who, shortly aftertheir
marriage, became almost sot. He was
not hard hearted, nor an unjust man,
but like numerous others, could not re-
sist temptations, and whenever asked to
drink, had not the moral courage to say
no. His wife, whom he really loved,
expostulated and reasoned, until he pro-
missed never to taste liquor again but as
soon as thrown into company his resolu-
tons were forgotten, and he fell into his
old and degrading habit. She wept Bit
ter, bitter tears, and begun to despair of
ever weaving him from his monstrous
vice, especially as she had implored one
OF his false friends in vain not to lead her
husband into evil company. Regularly,
however, the corrupting associate cal
led, and despite of her tears solicited her
husband to visit such and such place.
The infatuated man could not resist, and
went and came in a beastly state of in
toxication.
The wretched woman wrought to fren-
~ by the seeming ruin that awaited her,
determined upon some plan to free her
llege-lord from the opportunities of his
deceitful companion. One night, while
her husband was asleep, she heard the
well-known foot-step and knock at the
door, and, opening it carefully, with a
stout whip in her hand, seized the IN
welcome visitant by the hair of the head,
and inflicted upon his body chastise-
ment of the most severe character. AS
soon as she released him he ran off, and
has never since returned to SOW thorns in
the domestic parterre of her once peaceful
home. Her husband was so impressed
with her strength of mind and courage,
that he resolved to be as much of man
as she, and has since been abstemious and
happy.
This is fact, and happened in our CT
ty not month past. The parties, how
ever, are not generally known Gin.

QUICKER THAN THEY ExPEcTED.-The
Springfield Illinois Register relates the
following =
In March last three men in this city
agreed to drink themselves to DEATH
The first died in April, and the second in
May. The survivor, on the happening
of the last event, showed signs Of
breaking the compact, and he kept sober
two or three days afterwards, but honor
revived, and he died in the month of Juue.
This is literally true.

&g- 1t is now certain the administra-
ion will employ its patronage to defeat
tScott. Humphrey Marshall his brilliant
assailant, gets China, and Parson Brown,
low, who has been skinning him from the
word go, has the following paragraph in
the last Knoxville Wing:
"We have been kindly and respectful
ly notified this week by Mr.. Webster, Sc
cretary Of State, that our paper is selec-
ted for publishing the orders, resolutions,
and laws passed during the first session of
Congress, and also all public treaties en-
tered into and ratified by the United
States"
So strong is the Webster opposition to
the Wing nominee in Massachusetts,, that
Mr.. Winthrop has beeen compelled to
from the Gubernatorial canvass:
that the party may be harmonized by
the nomination Of some Webster man, as
he says in his card.-Rich. Enquirer,

Board of Visitors to this Institution for
the present year have made their report
to the Secretary of War, in which they
recommend the following among other re-
forms:
That &c cadets, two from zach State,
be authorized, and that the term of instrc-
ton be extended to five years; and that
their pay be increased from $24 to $28
per month, the present amount being
insufficient with the most rigid economy;
that the pay of the superintendent be in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, he being
compelled for several years past to e1pend
$4,000 over his pay to entertain distin-
guishcd visiters, that the salaries of the
officers generally be increased that ri
ding hall be erected for the exercise of
cadets in winter. $4,000 have already
been appropriated, and $12, 900 more are
required, That cavalry exercises be in
troduced in the studies of the institution,
additional buildings and stables erected,
another officer of dragons stationed there;
that the study of logic be dispensed with,
and that ancient and modern history, ar
my papers, as returns, &c, physiology,
and the evidences of christianity, be in
troduccd with the increased term.
