Correspondence ~ nc NctcdN DdiIy ldrcrtiSer
GENOA, Monday, Suy 5.
A melancholy incident occurred few days
ago on board the u. S. frigate Cumberland,
recently arrived at Speezzia. (our naval station
on this coast from the United States. The
PurSer, George II. Sawyer, committed suicide
about o'clock in the afternoon OF the cath ut.,
by cutting his throat with knife. 1t appeared
during the inquiry into the case, that MIR. $.
was respectable and responsible, person, that he
was a native Of the State Of Vermont, that he
had attained his Goth year, and that his self
destruction was owing solely TO an alienation
OF mind, occasioned by an unex pectcd separation
from a young and beautiful wife, whom he
married few days before being ordered to sea
His accounts were found to be correct, of course.
As you may suppose, the event produced much
feeling among the officers and crew, and was
occasion OF solemn religious services.

0T- The pink of piety and paragon of purity
ofthe Nhig charges Us with having t:published a
false table ofthe vote Of the Western Reserve
and that we had ssnot yet had the decency to cor
rect it, The tab lie alluded to we copied from
an exchange paper supposing it to be correct, and
not having since referred to it, we had not
learned the contrary until our amiable neighbor
put forth the above characteristic charge. Now
the fact that we published the official vote of the
State by counties, as the same appeared in the
Columbus papers, will utterly preclude the base
inference of our amiable neighbor, that we had
wilfully published false table. reference to
the table giving the vote of the State would cor
rect any Inaccuracies in the other table, The
thing of the Wing knows there was no intention
to deceive, but in his desperation, like drowning
man, he catches at every straw that passes in his
way Hasour neighbor yet learned what WIS the
Democratic majority at the State election! He
once stated it at from 5000 to $4,000, and at the
same tHas he 47sec he tied it down from 5000 to
1000 votes. Did his ideas of decency ever in
duce him to make the correction!

From Rio de Janeiro-Dreadful Trag.

cay
By the ship Caroline, from Rio, arrived at
Philadelphia, we have the following, from the
correspondent of the Baltimore Sum-
RIO DE JANEIRo, Oct 18th, '52.
We are now having much rainy weather, but
with it little or no sickness.
On Sunday last the American flags in the har.
Dor were at half mast, caused by the news of the
wreck of the brig Emily Jane, and the death ot
Captain Foxwell, her commander, well known
and much esteemed as an old trader to this
Port.
An awful tragedy occurred here last nights
father murdered kis daughter, son, and an En-.
glishman. The young girl had been wronged.-
The father discovered her shame; swore death tc
the seducer, the nglishman-found him with his
daughter; drove bullet through his heart and
dashed madly at his daughter with knife. The
son and brother placed himself before her and re-
ceived the blade of the knife in his side. The
father, seeming almost a maniac, wanted more
blood to wash out the stain.upon his daughters
honor, and with another plunge, stabbed her in
the heart. The Englishman died Immediately;
the son lived three hours, and the daughter still
breathes, but will not live. The father, highly
respectable Brazilian, gave himself up immedi-
ately to the authorities.

Curing E2ns.

Everybody who appreciates good ham is aware
that much depends on their preparation after leay-
ing the hands of the butcher, and as the time for
killing swine has como, it may not be amiss to
give our readers the benefit of anothers experience
in the matter.
Mr.. A. Campbell instructs the Weeling Ga
zette to say that s'After the meat is thoroughly
cooled, cut and trim the hams very close, then rub
them we'll with salt, pack close in barrel, and
after laying three or four days make brine of the
following ingredients: Toevery 100 fss. of hams
allow four gallons of water, lbs salt, lbs, SUI
gar, OF. salt-petre, OF. saleratus. The brine
should be boiled and the scum carefully taken off,
when cold pour it on the rneat-from 4 to 6weeks
should be allowed (according to the size of the
hams and the temperature of the cellar,) for the
meat to remain in pickle. After the meat is hung
up, allow two or three days to dry, then smoke
with as little fire as possibe-use green hickory,
with sassafras in small quantities. Soon as the
meat is sufficiently smoked each ham is taken
down and carefully wrapped inpaper, then bagged,
to prevent depreciation of flies, and hung in cool
dry place, out of the reach of rats and mice.

John @. Adams and the Island OF
GIgsEDa,

Those Wing editors and statesmen who have
been inclined to disparage the value of the Island
of Cuba as an acquisition to the American Union,
will peruse with interest the following extract
from an official state paper drawn up by JOHN @.
ADAMS, when he was Secretary of State to Mr..
MONROE in 1928. In giving some diplomatic in
structions to the American Minister at the Court
of Madrid Mr.. Adams thus descants upon the i'm
portance of the Island of Cuba to us. He says:
s:Its commanding position, with reference to
the Gulf of Mexico and the West India seas; the
character of it's population; its situation midway
between our southern coast and the Island of St.
Domingo; its safe and capacious harbor Of the
Havana, fronting long line of our shores desti-
tute of the same advantage; the nature of its pro-
ductions and of its wants, furnishing the supplies
and needing the returns ola commerce immensely
profitable and mutually benefcial-gve it an i'm
portance in the sum of our national Interests with
which that of no other foreign territory can be
compared, and little inferior to that which binds
the different members of this Union together.-
Such, indeed, are, between the interests of that
Island and of this country, the geographical COM
merciat moral, and political relations, formed by
nature, gathering in the process of time, and even
now verging to maturity, that, in looking forward
to the probable course ofevents for the short peri
cd of half century, it is scarcely possible to re-
sst the conviction that the annexation of Cuba to
our federal republic will be indispensable to the
continuance and integrity of the Union itself,
it is obvious, however, that for this event we
are not prepared Numerous and formidable OBJ
jectons to the extension of our territorial domin
ions beyond the sea present themselves to the
first contemplation of the subject; obstacles to
the system of policy by which alone that result
can be compassed and maintained are to be fore
seen and surmounted both at home and abroad;
but there are laws of political we'll as of phys
ical gravitation; and if an apple, severed by the
tempest from its native tree, cannot choose but
fall to the ground, Cu5a forci5ly diJoined from its
oon unnatural connection rcih Spain, and Incapable
Of sey-support, can gravitate only towards the
North American Union, which by the law of
ture, cannot cast her off from its bosom.''
He then refers to the necessity for Cuba, if
emancipated from the rule unprotected by
the power of Spain, to rely upon some other
power, she not being competent to maintain her
independence. She must therefore, strike an
alliance with Great Britain or the United States.
He dwells upon the objections to any extension of
British territory in that quarter, and asks Mr..
Nelson to keep the Government advised of any
negotiation that might be on foot between the
Spanish and English governments.

press to announce that the ssElector for District
Is arrived home from Columbus, safe and sound,
on Friday night, after having cast his vote for
KING and that other feller, and signed petition
in favor of Citizen SAMMEDARY occupying place
in the new Cabinet!!!'' What wonderful man!
Shouldn't wonder if he should have a bid to play
the Yankee Sampson in some travelling show!
And then, he nose something. 1t was left for that
rare genius to make the discovery that the Elector
for District Is signed a'pettion in favor of Citi-
zen sAMMEDARY occupying place in the new

Free Banking in n1ndiaaa and Illinois

Much fear is expressed in the Missouri and In
diana papers that the present batch of free banks
in Indiana and part of Illinois will not prove sub
stantial. A writer in the st. Louis Republican
says:
"Banks under this organization, are multiplying
in this region with startling rapdity. Thimble-
rigging financiers, are evincing wonderful energy
in disseminating their pretty promises to pay, and
it requires but little acumen to predct-and that
with accuracy-that if allowed to 60 on with i'm
punity :dddling' the people out of their earnings
by the interesting process of absorption, they will
continue to increase at an accelerated pace until
the grand crash comes, for its advent is inevitable
Who then's to pay the piper! Who, even now!
although the sweet babe is in its swaddling
clothes-f it's amiable energies were nipped in
the bud of summary extinction! Can any one be
green enough to suppose for moment that those
who profit most by these things redeem most!-
Certainly not; such thing is altogether at vari-
ance with not only their intentions, but usage is
against it. There are, of course some honorable
exceptions"
Everybody, says the Pittsburgh Post, knows
that the ST. Louis Republican is one of the most
unscrupulous whig organs in the country. When
it takes alarm at the progress OF this fraudulent
species ofcurrency, the people may well dread the
calamity that is preparing for them. 1t has never
before, to our knowledge that of any body else,
uttered word against the paper money system
but has on the contrary, used its influence to give
it aid and comfort. But the evil in the west is be-
coming too alarming for even the laxity of wiig
organs to tolerate it, and they now denounce it,
There is we apprehend, fearful trial in store
for our western friends, On account OF the wide
circulation of this irresponsible currency. 1t has
already got so strong hold upon them, that it is
almost impossible for them to shake it off, and we
fear they will again have to pass through the
swindling operations they had to endure when the
Illinois banks spread financial ruin throughout the
State.

Among the emigrants were three brothers named
Patterson, from Jackson county, Missouri, who
had driven through fifteen hundred head of sheep,
four hundred head of cattle, and twenty wagons.
The latter were freighted with provisions, &C.,
for the hormons at Salt Lake Valley. Their
freight bill amounted to the handsome sum of
$1,000.
