FELLOW REPUBLICANS AND FELLOW

home one night while my mother was out.

which an unlucky star had doomed me,
till have risen like bright exhalation
in the evening, to the very summit Of hu-
man greatness and grandeur. Gentlemen
l profess no principles-unfortunately, L
have none. On the unhappy occasion of
my birth, dismal and melancholy man,
clothed in the sombre hues of mourning,
swappod me away for another baby, and
subsequently lost me at a rattle. Sad
event! But who can control his fate?--
We are the creatures of destiny--there is
divinity that shapes our ends, hew them

Sir, where will you find a
country like this? Talk not Of oriental
gorgeousness of Eastern countries. Tell
US not of the fairy scenery which poets,
who revel in the warm path of heavenly
imagination-paint with golden pens, on
leaves of satin. The description of this
beautiful country should be written with
the golden wand of an angel dipped in the
sofest rays of the sunbeam upon the blush

These are my sentiments, gentlemen. If
they don't admit US into the Union, we will
burst open the Custom House and admit
all liquors free Of duty. And now, with
parting blessing upon the girls we left
behind US, and the boys who are coming
after us, we will adjourn and take pri-
pate drink.

From the way in which men sometimes
talk, you would suppose that dollars and
cents are the only respectable things in
the universe, that successful speculation
Is the only true heroism, and that the
hope of making twenty per cent profit is
enough to bestow dignity upon meanness
itself.

FROM PORT Au-PRINCE-.4rriUal of a .M,v-
derer.-The bark Aaron ]. Harvey arrived at
Philadelphia on the 18th inst, from Port-au-
Prince. She brought as prisoner John Miller,
who was sent home by the U. s. Consul, at his
own request, to stand his trial for the murder
of wood cutter named Myers, whom he killed
in the woods in Washington township, Morris
county, New Jersey, about ten months since.
1t appears that Miller was at work with
another man cutting wood, when he quarreled
with Myers, who was employed on an adjoining
farm; fight ensued between them, and Myers
was killed by Miller. He then escaped to Cam
den, and from there went to New York in the
steamer Delaware. In that city he shipped to
London, where he says he confessed his crime to
the Consul, but was not sent home as he wished
to be- Hearing at Port au-Prince that the man
was accused of the murder, and would probably
be convicted, to save his life he went to the
Consul and confessed the crime. He was then
placed on board the bark, and sent home to be
tried. He has told the same story since his
arrival and manifests no disposition to escape
the consequences of the crime he has committed
Logwood was plentiful, and prices were de-
clining
The health of Port-au- Prince was good.

Mazzini and the italian Reds There is the
Emperor Of Austria, too, busy with his levies,
and raioicing at his loan, which would have
given him still higher qualification when he
came to reflect that. the war being at an end,
d he was at liberty to apply the proceeds to other
purposes There are, however, two sets Of
people whose acts we should have been most de-
srous to behold as the fact Of the capture was
forced upon their convictions. We should have
liked To been in Cronstadt while the Gear was
steamed away under the eyes of the garrison.
Next to this, which would perhaps have been
the most interesting point of observation, it
would have been most peculiarly delightful to
issrol through the Bazaar at Constantlnople,
and listen to the gossip of the old Turks, when
they were at last convinced that their old enemy
the Gear was really within the grasp of the
9 sallled poWer6--a prisoner OF war.
On the political consequences of such an event
we must scarcely venture to speculate. The
imagination of the historian who is called upon
to write the history of the events which did not
occur may fairly recoil from the magnitude Of
the subject Little petty questions, such as
those connected with the Sulina mouths of the
Danube, the navigation Of the Black Sea, the
freedom of the Circassian mountaineers, the
restoration of Finland to Sweden, etc, sinks
into comparative insignifcance by the side Of
the chapter which might have been written on
the result of the Cars yachting expedition off
Cronstadt. The wonder of it is that all this
time we are not dealing with fable nor with
the result Of q drunkard's inspiration, but with
sober and serious fact. The Gar Of Russia,
the Archduke Constantine, and the Arch
duchess, were the other day as near capture and
transmission to England as it is possible to be
without having actually incurred such a ca
tastrophe. Such is life and history, such a
strange mixture of chances and improbabilitiesl

its opinions concerning the merit and standing

On Friday. the 28th ult., two Chiokasaws,
Pisaholubbee and Gypsum went to the farm Of
Mr.. ]. II. Willis, on Red River, some twenty
five miles from this place, and became engaged
in an alteration with one of the negroes Of Mr..
W, who advanced to rescue his slave from the
danger which threatened him, when Pirahotub-
bee rode towards him with drawn knife.
This circumstance alarming a son of Mr.. WIS,
he snatched plow beam and struck Pisahotub-
bee blow on the back of the head, Of the effect
of which he died the succeeding day.
About week ago, at Preston, Mr.. George
D. James, of this nation, was attacked by Mr..
Mark Mitchell of that place, and was shot in the
hand; friends then interposing, any further
difficulty was prevented.
On Wednesday the 26th ult., Charles Dawson,
an 1rishman, who had been trading in linens
for some year or more past, was killed at Caddo
village, and robbed of q considerable sum Of
monsy-some $1,000 it is said-by Jefferson

Pettegrew was arrested and tried, but that he
subsequently escaped.
