Asa Kn0Ilinz Adventure.
By IHE OLD US

Asa T. Kuollins was a genuine specimen
Of the Down East ! Iapkee--a log-chop-
ping, trading. fishing, sea-going amphibi-
Gus animal, passing his time between the
ocean and-tle mainland Ia Que Of his
VOYAGES before the mast, he went to Por-
to Rico. aud by some chance It happened
that his vessel sailed without Aim. Asa
felt somewhat h0mcsick when compelled
70 prolong his visit, and watched eagerly
for an opportunity Of returning to his own
native land
One evening as he was walking along
the sea side IN melancholy guise, he was
suddenly surrounded by a gang of Brit
ish sailors belonging to the sloop-of-w war
Terrible, commanded by Capt Bigshot,
and then busy in taking in water and
other stores, preparatory TO a continuance
OF her three years cruise Asa wa dis
posed to show fight at, first, but as the
Fress-gang was ariasd with cutLasses he
concluded his policy was to submit quiet
ly. and SO be entered the barge without
opposition, and was taken Oh board the
s.o0p
That night as lie lay awake. brooding
over his misfortune. lie chaIked out his
conduct. which was no other than TO feign
a simplicity. amounting almost to id.ocy.
and to display az little knowledge Of sea
mausaip as possible lie kuew how to
throw into his couutau2uca an air Of COM
plc-e vacancy and innocence calculated
to throw the shrowdest observer oil his
guard

The whls National convention.

The Washington correspondent
Of the Philadelphia North American
an extreme advocate Of the nomi-
nation Of General Scott-makes the
following calculation Of the vote in
the Wing National Convention, on
the first ballot for President:
For Gen. ScOH.-Delaware 8;
Maine s; New Hampshire 4; Ver-
mon: 4; Rhode Island 3; Connecti-
cut A, New York 80; New Jersey q;
Pennsylvania 26; Ohio %; Indiana
Is; Illinois ii; Iowa 2; Wisconsin
5; Michigan A; California 2-total
$50.
For Mr. Fillmore.-Vermcnt 1;
New York 8; Pensy lvania 1; Iowa 2;
Michigan l; Maryland 8; Virginia
Is; North Carolina 10; Florida 3;
Kentucky II; Missouri 9; Louisiana
6; Tennessee IL; Mississippi Z; Ar
kansas 4; Texas 4-total 90.
For hr. Webster Rhode Island
|; Connecticut 2; New York 2;
New Hampshire 1; Massachusetts
Is; California 2-total 81.
The Convention will consist OF
295 members, Of which Ids would
be a majority, so that the writer in
the North American thinks that
General Scott could be nominated
on the first ballot. but he suggests
that there are considerations which
may induce his friends to yield part
of even this original force; so that
no choice will be made on the first
ballot; and then he calculates General
Scott will get lS2 votes on the
second ballot, among them two from
Maryland and five from Virginia.

fight occurred between the crew OF
the Martha No. 2 and a portion OF
the deck passengers on board of that
boat, while she was underway, on
Tuesday morning. Four persons
are said to have been killed or NOR
tally wounded, and a number Of
others seriously injured. The mate
Of the Kate Kearney informs US that
he learned. on inquiry, that two oi
the hands were dead and two OF the
passengers in a dying condition.
The difficulties is said to have grown
out Of an attempt on the part oi
some Of the hands to commit an
outrage on the wife of one Of the
deck passengers. This being resen-
ted, a general fight ensued, in which
knives and other deadly weapons
were freely used.
All we are able to learn oi the
circumstances are, that on the COM
mission Of the offence, the husband
knocked the deck hand down, and
also had scuffle with two or three
OF his comrades; after which, Capt.
Afford sent two OF the deck hands
ashore. All was quiet for while,
but late in the night nearly the
wholeo Of the crew armed themselves
with whatever they could, and in a
body attacked the passengers, icon
sisting Of an old man about GU years
of age, his two sons and several
iemaies,) in the dark, and, though
the men fought desperately, sue
ceeded in overpowering and beating
them most numerically. The old
man and his two sons. it is supposed,
are mortalIy wounded. They were

bloody affair got ashore at Louisiana,
