A Yankee Trick.

We can imagine the disgust and indignation
of John Bull, who having cleared for action
and shetted his guns to blow up Russian
ship, suddenly finds himself alongside of a
"raal Yankee ship" when saucy, hoaxing,
fngergyrating, hawhawing Brother Jonathan
on the quarterback shouted ont -" "Waal,
stranger, we only kept dark to see what you
could de-" Here is the incident, as related in
an English journals
letter from an officer Of the feet, dated
18th, tells the following rather good story:
"One morning, few days since, we saw a
large vessel eight or ten miles ahead, which
we fully believed to be Russian man of war,
as she made all sail TO- get away, and showed
no colors. As we rapidly came up to her, she
took in sail until she was under reefed topsails
fighting trip-so we beat to quarters, and
the pipe sounded loudly, 'bands, bring the ship
into actionr For some three minutes every
thing was hustle, casting the guns loose, clear.
every gun was shotted and primed, and the men
standing with the match lines in their hands,
waiting for the word 10 fire. just as we got,
within good distance, the blackguard run mp
American colors, and coolly told MS he would
have hoisted them sooner, but he wanted to see
how smart we would clear for action. IL our
tars did not bless him to the wrong side of
Heaven never believe me-"
This affair reminds us of thrilling story
which the celebrated Captain Scott, Of coon
notoriety, who fell at Molino del Rey, used to
tell with great effect. Hunting once on the
prairie, the keen eye Of the veteran sportsman
discovered young fawn reposing under
small tree. The idea occurred to him TO at-
tempt to capture it alive. He accordingly laid
aside his gun and hunting utensils and com.
menced to creep on his hands and feet noise
lessly towards the sleeping fawn. After a very
fatiguing and exhausting journey, having torn
his garments and his flesh, and otherwise suf.
fered grievously, he reached the spot where the
animal lay, and being near enough TO spring
upon it, he raised his head, and there, within
four feet Of him, lay large female panther
who ut the same time raised her head and fixed
her savage green eyes upon the rather startled
visage Of the astounded Nimrod. The captain
declared that he had no recollection Of how he
got out Of the scrape; but he thinks that the
best time he ever made in his life, was in the
retrograde movement Of his perilous venture.
The feelings Of the English captain and his
crew, when on nearing a ship as a Russian,
they suddenly find themselves saluted by the
stars and stripes, and hailed by nasal voice,
must have been quite similar to those of Cap
tain Scott, when he was about to leap into the |
arms Of panther for fawn.--N o, Della.

each of her children, so far as it is consistent
with the perfect liberty of all the rest. No
longer can abolition base its claim to respecta-
bility on its association with party which
teaches that substantial happiness, and not the
Utopian dream of mad enthusiastics is true
freedom. No longer viii modern philanthropy
interfere with its Cosmopolitan
benevolence, and drive the famished child of
charity unaided from her doors. And the
glorious truth will be at last developed that
true democracy is conservator of order, and
that true liberty is no foe to law.

A THRILLING IScIpEST.--The Detroit Id.
certiser says that on the evening Of the 9Th in
stant during heavy storm which suddenly
broke over the city Of Detroit sail boat which
was lying at the dock with her sail hoisted,
broke from her moorings and started across
the open lake. A little boy, seven years Of age,
Who had sought a shelter from the rain beneath
the deck Of the boat, speedily discovered the
accident, and seising the helm, endeavored to
direct her course TO the shore. The wind had
by this time increased to hurricane, and the
banks Of the river we're lined with men, women,
and children, who we're unable TO render any
assistance. Several times the boat broached
To and came round again, and during one 6eree
squall was thrown directly upon her beam ends.
But the gallant bark held her way, the young
pilot standing manfully at his post, and finally
was run into shallow water, where she was
boarded by several men. In answer to a ques-
ton how he got along, the boy answered that
he was pretty wet but added; Wasn't il
lucky, Mr.. Bsckus, that | was aboard Of your
boat when she went oG2"

The CUBA ENTHUSIASTICALLY editor Of the
Alexandria Democrat (Red River, La.) has
been spending some time among his brother
fllibusters, in New Orleans, and writes joyoasly
home to his paper, as follows:
The fate of Cuba is sealed Nothing short
of the hand of Omnipotence can save her now,
and the Queen of the Antilles may set about
preparing wedding dress for her marriage to
Uncle Sam. 1t does not matter straw whether
we kick up q war with her about the Black
Warrior case, or let that take its place among
the thousand and one other indignities we have
impatiently endured. There is an expedition
on foot, having for its object her overthrow, Of
a character altogether too formidable to admit
a loop upon which to hang doubt. This is pos
itively true, and what is little remarkable, there
is no disguise whatever about it. Men talk of
it here as an event beyond the surveillance of
chance. "There is no such word as fail."
Blatherskite meetings are not held, nor are our
risibles excited by symbolic givings out of any
mysterious hints. But what amounts to some
thing more, and better, a hundred subscription
books are open, and i state fact within my
own knowledge, that nearly half million Of
dollars has been subscribed in New Orleans,
and paid in. Any one can see these books,
witness the paying down of cash by what may
call countless throng crowding around them,
and fork over whatever he may deem proper.
Munitions of war, huge cannon, muskets,
powder, &C., leave here almost daily for New
York, and large bodies of emgrants are press
ing forward to the Rio Grande. Upto this time
these public movements have encountered no
obstacles, nor will they in future. Men have
charge of the expedition now who are not half
brained fools, but energetic, practical, business
operators. They will start with the sinews Of
war-money-with picked men-not the rag
tag-andbob-tail Of large cities-and with ap-
pointments for any emergency.

ADJoURNmENT OF CONGRESS.

As the time approaches for the close of the
session, Congress is working industriously. The
heat is great drawback. In one respect
however, it may be useful. 1t certainly is far
more agreeable to listen to the reading of bills,
reports Of committees, &c, and to answer to the
roll call, than to go through the labor Of a long
speech on a dry subject, and without breath
Of air.
The people who complain most Of legislative
bodies are generally those least injured bytheir
neglect They are the penny-a-liners, who
obliged to write about something, indulge in
scandal, abuse, and faultfnding, because they
are the easiest, and the most pleasant to them.
We have no doubt that o vast amount of i'm.
portant public business will be transacted be-
fore the adjournment.

China.
From the Overland Mall Of May 8.


CANToN.-From Canton we learn that quiet
prevails throughout the province, except for
some banditti at Tsing-yuem and Ying-teh, in
the department of Shoachau. Similar disturb
ers of the peace are reported in Kwangsi.
Annoy AND Fun CAAU.-The Zephyr brings
news from Annoy of the decapitation of sixty
rebels captured by the three West-coast junks
in the imperial service, lately seized on suspi-
cion of piracy by II. M. sloop Bittern. In re-
venge for the slaughter of their comrades, the
rebels threatened an attack ON the city on the
26th April, and vowed, should it prove success
ful, to sacrifice every imperialist who might fall
into their hands.
The head of one of the principal rebel chiefs,
captured with eighty of his men near Suatau a
fortnight after the city was retaken in Novem-
Der last, is, we are told, in the possession of
DR.. Bland. Between the teeth is large brick,
which had been driven in with such violence
as to have fractured the lower jaw.
The intelligence about the rebels in Pechih-
lie (the metropolitan province) is not of later
date, but fuller in its details, than was g ven in
our Overland Of the 22d April. These details
serve to show that the discontinue has been
complete, and, according to the Peking Gazette
between six and seven thousand rebels have
been killed, while some had submitted and
Joined the imperialists, by whom they were
well received and in order, we presume, to in
duce others to "repent and renovate them
selves" six of those who first surrendered, have
had white buttons conferred on them.
A fortnight ago we mentioned that some
Chinese who had been in California had found
gold in the extensive district of Nganping, to
the southwest of Canton, and that considerable
excitement prevailed in consequence. The
first discovery is said to have been made last
year, from observing shining particles in the
sand of Tan-liu river, which, on being washed,
turned out to be gold. Our most recent in.
tellgence on the subject is, that the gold is also
found in the hills called the Pak-wanshan. or
White Cloud Hills, in Yan-ping.hien, and in
mountain stream called Kin-kai-shwui, or Gold
Rivulet-water. The most successful Of the
gold seekers got five taels of gold in less than
a month; others have picked up in a day the
value of dollar, others half and quarter of
dollar, and some a few cents, or nothing at
ALL The gold is said to be purer than that Of
California, as l6to l3.

THE WEATHER.

The weather is almost ludicrously hot. 1t
spoils beauty, it spoils sleep, it spoils comfort
1t is too hot for birds to sing, and, except in
the night time, for dogs to bark, nor would
they bark, then unless it was too hot to sleep.
But one insect delights in welcoming the raging
heat of the dog days, and that is the locust. It
has just made its appearance. 1t isa vile bug,
associated with hot suns, bell hornets, and
bilious fevers.
But, indeed, for the last day or two, the heat
has been almost insuferable. Men have been
sadly reduced in flesh, females have been COM
PEELED to take to the fan, and children have
broken out all over with the thrush. The ther-
mometer may be high or low The best ther-
mometer however, is the suffering of human
nature; and, if the thermometer be right, that
suffering has been so intense, that the mercury
must have mounted higher than it has yet risen
during the season. There is more reliance,
however, on the human being than on the ther.
mometer. The first suffers, and the last is, all
the time, as cool as cucumber, no matter how
high it rises. The weather is certainly hot.

MURDER AND LYNcHIYG IN TExAs.--1tco
Men Shot By DR.. Linton, formerly Of The y.
S. Nacy-Li,,ton Lynched.-We have learned
from several persons who have recently arrived
from Laredo, that most shocking affair oc-
Cured in that place about two weeks since.
Achilles Centro, an Italian, and Don Pedro
Carera, a Mexican, were killed by DR.. Lin
ton. The former was band master of the 9Th
regiment of infantry, and the latter principal
of the Mexican Maroma and It was during Don
Pedros exhibition that he was killed.
There are various reports in circulation rela-
tive to this transaction, and the only definite
conclusion we can arrive at from all the inform
alton received is, that two men we're murdered
without any apparent cause or provocation, and
the murderer hung, under the solemn condem-
nation and sentence of his honor Judge Lynch.
We have been informed that the difficulty by
which three persons were launched into eter-
nifty grew out of an insult given by the doctor
to the wife of the band master, who was pre-
sent at the exhibition.
The band master reprimanded the doctor for
the insult, the latter retired for moment, but
Immediately returned with his pistol, and in
attempting to shoot Centro, shot Don Pedro at
the first fire, who had placed himself between
the parties in endeavoring to quiet the distur-
Dance. Inc SecOnd bnOt ne killed Centr0.
After committing this bloody deed, he escaped
to The west side of the Rio Grande, but on COM
mtting another outrage, as stated, on the Mex
ican side of the river. he was apprehended by
the alcalde and placed in the calaboso.
The next day the citizens of Laredo held q
meeting and appointed committee to cross
the river and demand Linton Of the Mexican
authorities. The alcalde refused to give him
up, but informed those who composed the COM
mittee, that if they would 60 the calaboso about
nine o'clock, a. m, the key would be found in
the door. They did SO, and removed Linton
from the Jail, and brought him over to this side
of the river, erected gallows upon the public
plaza, and hung him that night. Thus termi-
mated the existence Of man who has hereto
fore figured in nearly all grades and conditions
Of life, an accomplished scholar and eminent
physician.
DIR. Linton, il is said, was formerly surgeon
in the United States navy, and was on board
the brig Somers when Spencer was hung. We
believe that he was one Of the witnesses who
testified. upon the trial Of Commander McKen-
zie on the part Of the defence.
Since writing the above, we have been in
formed that the citizens Of Laredo had nothing
to do with the lynching, it being altogether
confined to the soldiers. After his execution,
it is reported that the body was horribly mutt
lated by the soldiers-such was the intense ex-
citement against the deceased.

Phoenix, Walter Bishop, Martin Stowell, John

count alleges that the above named persons,
with others to the number Of FIVE hundred or
more, armed with bricks, stones, slaves, clubs and
with loaded pistols and other firearms and
offensive weapons, did unlawfully, riotously
and tumultuously meet and gather together to
disturb the peace Of the commonwealth.
