Interesting Incident.

We published last week an extract from 'he
Southern Literary Messenger, in which the VIII
ter related the interesting story OF Mary Moore
captivity and sufferings among the Indians ahe
regret that we had not heard the incident we are
about to relate in time to have published IL II
connection with the story. twill be recoliec'ee
that Mary Moore, after her release, was marrie'
to the Rev. Samuel Brown, and that tve oil ne
sons became Ministers Of the Gospel. One
these sons, while prosecuting his studies at th'
Princeton Theological Seminary, made the &C
auaintance of young man who was also prepar
ing himself for the ministry at the Seminary ahe
in a short time mutual intimacy sPrang up be-
tween them. Much to his surprise, about si'
months after the date of their acquaintance, Mr.
Brown discovered in his friend and FELLOWSHIP
dent. son of Martha WINS, who had lived In mf
Moore's family in the capacity Of servant glil
and shared with Mary her long apdtrylng capslyi'
ty. OF course the intimacy Of the two young mer
ripened into deep attachment and sympathy
We can imagine that their coDpanionbhiP became
almost as close and confding as that OF their ne

Go Ahead,

The last Siaunton Spectator announces the pur-
nose of its editors and propretors 10 issue thai
paper semi-weehly, so soon as the necessary ar
ranpements can be made TO carry the design into
execution. Weare please to see this enterprizlng
go a head spirit manifested by our friends of the
Spectator. We have understood that some mil
nation OF an opposition wing paper IN Stanton
has spurred the Spectator to make this announce
mint. We have learned that Mr. Tyre Mau
pin, of the Harrisonburg Republican. has some
idea of taking tilt at the democratic party as
well as the Spectator portion of the wing party IN
Augusta. We shall be sorry to lose so amlabe
and courteous a neighbor, but we presume he
thinks he will be sufficiently close at Staunton
to regulate the democratic party of Rockingham,
as well as keep his own house there in order
But, seriously, we learn that the establishments OF
another wing paper in opposition TO the Stauuton
Spectator has been spoken OF, and prospectus 10
that effect issued buckingham Register.
90 Our neighbors of the Registerare mistaken
if they suppose that the idea of publishing the
Spectator semi weekly, was suggested to US by
the in.imation of Mr.. Maupn's design to attempt
the establishment of another Wing paper IN
Stsuuton. We had the matter in contemplation
long before we ever heard of any movement on
the part Of Mr. Maupin and his friends, and have
made bona tfds proposals, which we will carry
out if tho Wing party think semi-weekly paper
is needed. 1t is for them to decide. We can
get out two papers next week if they desire it.
As to Mr.. Maupin 'senterprise, wei know not i1g
more of it, than we have been able toga:her from
common rumor, and sundry newspaper paragraphs
tina, have met our eye. The Register learns thai
its Objects to oppose the Spectator-oppose us
in what and for what we don't know. The Yin.
dicaior thinks the object isl run the Spectator of
"a thing, by the way that may not be SO easy Of
accomplishment.
The Staunton correspondent Of the Richmond
Dispatch says "Mr. Maupin and his friends" are
determined to take advantageof the fine opening
Staunton affords for semi weekly paper, anc
certainly we are not opposed to throw any obsta-
ole in their way. We only ask the privilege o
entering the field of enterprise too. -

A Craving Town.

The town of Salem, in the county of Roanoke,
is beginning to assume city airs. Listen how the
Republican spouts over new Omnibus which has
lately made its appearance in that village, to the
great astonishment and delight of the natives;
"Crock went the whip, round went the wheels,
Were ever folks so glad!"
A new Omnibus in iown-plies between Capital
Square and The Mary gard For the ca, acco {. mo

A East Ride.

We understand that six negro men took a fears
ful ride down the Eastern slope of the mountain,
on the temporary track,a few days ago. BY mis-
take, they seated themselves on ''hand-car"
without lock, and pitched down the mountain
at wonderful speed. Two of them jumped off,
to the serious damage of their teeth &c. The
other four remained on, and would, probably gone
on to Richmond, but for the timely interference
of some person who CHANGED to see them coming,
and arrested their progress by throwing log OF
wood across the track. All the negroes were
more or less injured.

The GUANo MoNopoLY.--We observe by a
late number of the Liverpool Times that the Qua
no monopoly has excited attention in England, and
that the subject had been under consideration BY
the Royal Agricultural Society, the members OF
which association resolved to try practical meas
ure for breaking it down. The President and the
Duke of Richmond have determined to buy car
90 of Peruvian Guano in New York, and offer 1t
for sale in England. If the plan succeeds the eX-
pertinent is TO be repeated. A correspondent in
the same paper, however, declares the scheme to
be very unlikely TO result favoraby, as the same
monopoly exists in this country.
Another paper, the North British Agriculturlst,
calls attention to discovery of large Guano Is
land on the East coast Of Africa, and suggests I'M
portations from that quarter as the most likely
method of interfering with the Peruvian monopo-
ly. There is little doubt, however, that the COM
bined opposition of England and the United States
to the Peruvian system will do much TO place the
trade in this desirable fertser on tar better foot
ing than it now is At all events. the traffic may
be, through compulsion, thrown open to COMPETE
ton. and both the merchant and the farmer may
profit by the change.

The JENNINGS EsrATE.-It is now pretty
well ascertained fact, that the much talked ofJen-
nngs estate is not recoverable by any one OF the
name Of Jennings. Old MIR. Jennings married
Miss Corbin, and having no children, he be-
queathed all his property to hlswte in fee. Mrs.
Jenning died some few years since intesate and
consequently this immense estate OF f40,O00.O0O
or 5000 000, 900 passes over to her relatives. The
crown of Great Britain has advertised that the
money is in readiness, that the heirs are In the
United States Of America, and requests that they
come forward and claim the same.
"The Corbins, ofYnginia. are the rightful heirs
of the Jennings estate and through them, the Balls
of Fairfax, Va. the Jones' of,Washinglon, ID. T.,
and the Gordons, of Alexandria, Va. They hav.

Counterfeit shinplaster,.

Some enterpIsing rascals stole package Of
blank bank notes from Logwood s. Wright, Of
Lynchburg, and having filed them up with much
ingenuity, are circulating them as genuine notes.
The Lynchburg Republican well remarks, "shin.
pasters, at best, are very dangerous currency,
but counterfeit shin-plasters must be as near an
approach to nothing, in the way of money, as
could be imagined. The idea of counterfeiting
them is an originality in the ways of swindling,
remarkable, certainly, for its ingenuity"
