BRANDY IN HIGH PLACEs.-A recent writer
says: 1T is astonishing the effect produced by
spirits upon the persons Of even the strongest
constitution, when INDUCED in at an elevation
of 1000 or $4,000 feet. At $4,000 feet it is
perfectly dangerous to take any quantity of
raw spirits, as even half q wine glass of bran
ly produces intoXication. All hill travellers
drink nothing but hot tea for travelling up
mountains and down valleys. across bridges of
very questionable security, requires firm and
very steady nerves, which it is impossible for
those who indulge freely in the use Of spirits
to retain long in the snowy regions

Correspondence Of the Public Ledger.

=
Two fugitive slaves from Alabama, some few
months since, sought protection in Billy Bow
legs camp, in this State. Repeated demands
for their return to their master have been de-
MED by that sovereign of the Semnoles. On
the Sd of July, two of Billys slaves, Toney
and Simon, came into the camp at this place,
and were Immediately seized by the United
States troops stationed here. They were
heavily ironed, and placed in the custody Of
the camp guard, to be held by them until
Bowlegs sends in the two fugitive slaves fol
their ransom.
Bowlegs was within two miles of the place
last night. He has guard of some seventeen
warriors with him. This morning one of the
negroes was brought in, and one of Billy's
slaves demanded. To this demand, the Indian
agent here refused to accede. The negro was
taken into custody, and will be returned to his
master by the boat that conveys this letter to
you.
Preparation is making for fight, as res
cue of Bily's negroes is hourly expected
Should such an event occur, it must terminate
more fatally than any slave riot that has yet
occurred in the country. Uncle Sans troops
here, consisting of three crack companies Of
the I'd artillery, viz: Z, K, and G, entertain nc
good will for the copper colored gents, and will
show them no quarter.
There are men in this country from the north
and some from the vicinity of your mammoth
city, who are carrying on an illicit trade with
the Indians. They are harvesting fortune,
but should things terminate as the knowing
ones predict wo be to them.

A RoDDER's DEvIcE.--A private letter from
friend in Lewiston, advises us of an attempt
at robbing there by a burglar, connected with
feature that is not usual we believe.
The burglar made his way into the house,
but was heard and frightened out of the
premises before he had secured anything.
Soon after he was gone, the lady of the house,
who lodged above, awoke, and discovered the
presence Of smoke. On going below, all the
rooms, save the kitchen, were found filed with
smoke Of a very singular odor. No FIRE, ashes
or evidences Of combustion could be found.
The family, after one search, again retired, in
tending, however, not to sleep. This was at
o'clock in the morning and they suppose
they must have fallen very promptly to sleep,
for at scvon their slumber still continued, so
that the,hired girl, who had slept in distant
part Of the house, had difficulty in arousing
them.
There seems no doubt that this smoke was
narcotic in its nature, and designed by the rob-
Der to act as quietus upon the family, while
he pursued his depredations and that effect
it certainly had in inducing the morning nap
Of the inmates Of the house. The smell did not
disclose the nature Of the substance burned.

BuRyNG WFIr.--The Bloomington, Hi
nois, Ruatogupa gives the following description
of vein of gas struck while digging well in
that vicinity short time since:
aMr. Robinson, of this place, IN digging
well week or two SINCE on his lot not far
from the depot of the Central Illinois railroad,
struck current Of gas at the depth of some
twenty feet which rushed up with such force
as to shake the ground around the well, and
cause noise like the boiling of an immense
cauldron. TO test the character of the gas, a
match was applied to the mouth of the well,
when it Immediately took fire, and burned very
briskly, until, in order to extinguish it, the
mouth of the well was covered. Mr.. Robinson
went to work Immediately to wall up the well,
and with much difficulty, in consequence of
the impossibiity of breathing the vapor for any
length of time, has ut length succeeded in
securing the sides of the shaft from caving in.
Last night we were invited to see it in COM
buston. Mr.. Robinson had closed the mouth
of the well with plank, inserting in the centre
a sheet.tube of about twelve inches in diameter,
and six or eight feet high, around which he
had embarked three or four feet of earth, thus
precuding the escape of any gas from the well,
except through the pipe.
"When we arrived on the ground we found
the well surrounded by large company OF
ladies and gentlemen who had been attracted
to the spot to witness the curious spectacle.
The flame was already mounting up some ten
feet from the mouth Of the tube, and illuminat-
ing the countenances of the admiring multitude
for several rods around. 1t burned with
beautiful blue tint just where it leaped from
the pipe; but as it assembled and expanded it
became bright and clear. How long the sup
ply of gas may continue is of course to be
ascertained by experiment. Should it hold out
as we saw it last night, it will be something
more than curiosity. Mr.. Robinson, we uH-
derstand, intends to conduct it to the steam
grist-mill in the vicinity, and test its capacity
as an agent for generating steam. Should the
supply not diminish it may in few months
be put to more brilliant uses.
ga scientific gentleman will be here today,
as we learn, to examine it, when perhaps we
may be able to give some plausible conjecture
as to its character and source"

say- The N. Y. Evening Mrror.-whig-
lus Expresses iLs opinion about Cuba !.

thus expresses its opinion about Cuba:
In this emergency / think the time has
come to negotiate for Cuba. The pear is now
ripe, and ready to fall into somebody's lap.
France and England have their hands full in
the east. All the available resources of both
nations will be required to nurse the sick
man. whose cause has become their own.
The readers of the Mi,Tor well know how
strongly we have resisted the lawless attempts
of the fllibusters to ravage the Queen of the
Antilles and to rob the crown of Spain of its
richest Jewel. But successful revolution at
home absolves the island from its allegiance
to the mother country.
NCuba, with all its sweet treasures, is floating
piotless and rudderless past our doors. Now
is the time for the United States to stretch forth
her hand and catch the priceless pearl-not by
robbery, but by diplomacy. Commercially, the
island will be worth to US twenty millions an
nualy and as the recent reciprocity treaty is
the first practical step towards the annexation
of Canada, it really looks as il the day was not
distant when the stars and stripes shall float
over and protect one grand continental Union,
from Behring's Straits to the Southern Is
thmus"

Progress of the Revolution az several PyovinceS--
Bloody ERgagcment
BY the schooner st. Mary we have received
most important information concerning the
progress Of the revolution against the Mona
gas We publish the following letter from our
correspondent
Correspondence of the N. Y Express
PoRTo CABELLo, July %, l854.-As / in.
formed you in my former letters, the provinces
of Coro pronounced against the Monagas gov
eminent, and Immediately after, the whole pro-
vince Of Barquisemeto, also took up arms
against the government, and now the important
province OF La Portugesa and the canton El
Baul, in the Llanos or plains of the province OF
Carabobo, have likewise revolted against Mon
agas.
Colonel Juan Garces, on his march toward
Barquisemeto to join his friends, at the head of
brave band of about 500 men, was betrayed
by one OF his officers, who went over to General
Falcon, the commandant of the government
forces. This enabled Falcon TO surprise with
much superior force the brave little band
commanded by Garces. The latter fought like
lion, but finally had to surrender his sword
to his opponent, who after receiving it, assas-
sinated in cold blood, Garces, and the whole OF
his party.
This news has produced the most intense ex-
element, and will bring upon the heads of the
devoted followers of Monagas the seyerest retri-
button. Garcas was the popular man in Coro,
and was adored by the people.
July 26.-This place is this morning in the
greatest confusion and alarm, and there is
much hurrying to and fro among the officials.
The cause Of this alarm is that we have just
received the confirmation of the pronuncia-
mento or revolt of the whole province of Ell
Guarico which bounds on the province of Car
acas, the seat of government
Intelligence has also been just received that
the insurgent forces of Barquisimeto, to the
number of three thousand men, have reached
San Carlos, in the province of Carrobobo, to
attack Silva, the Mongas General, who is in
the Canton of Tinaco, in the same province OF
Carrabobo.
p. Must as the st. Mary, which takes
this letter, is about sailing, have been further
surprised by the arrival of an express to the
authorities with communications from General
Silva, requiring further supply of men and
money, as the insurgent forces of Barquisi-
meto were marching upon him to attack him.
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1854-08-13

men Of different opinions were associated in
the government, some of whom had figured re-
Gently at disastrous epochs. This irritation
was increased by the appearance of the apathy
with which they proceeded in moments de-
handing decisive measures, and it was soon
converted into the liyeliest evaporation by see
ing that the armed force was used to tight and
subdue the heroic peoples terrific step, which
nothing can Justify. We are sure that if pacific
orders had been given to the troops, the lamen-
table though heroic catastrophies would not
have occurred which we have witnessed, and
that the deadly FIRE would not have been kept
up fortyeight hours, which has decimated the
files of the patriots, and at length overthrowing
the ministry Such conduct, and the circum-
stance of having restored, as liberal measure,
the ominous decree Of July 9th, lS45, given in
hatred and for revenge on the press, completed
the ministrys loss of public opinion.
INCIDENTS OF THE FIGHT.
Don Francisco Moronati, chief of the barri-
cades of Los Angeles and street of Canos, sus-
tanned the fire. during four hours, with only
thirteen men, against all the military forces in
the Oriente Theatre and its neighborhood. He
last evening, in the midst of the greatest enthu-
siasm, conducted Colonel Garrigo, who .ap.
peared on the part of the Queen, to call Gen
eral E. San Miguel
In the Plaza Mayor the people fought reso-
lutely, twice losing and gaining the place, un-
til they succeeded in capturing and disarming
several of the companies of the civil guard.
They held their post with equal frmness in
the street of San Angustin, who, running
through the littla square of Jesus, and the
street of Huertas, to the plateria of Martinez,
surprised and discovered company of engi-
neers.
The defence of the little square Of Cebada,
Toledo street, and the adjacent barrios, was
organized on so formidable plan that an
entire army would not have penetrated in many
days.
The powderhouse is occupied by the people,
who also seized a wagon Of munitions intended
for the corps Of artillery.
At three, p. m, on the 18th, after a long
conference with the ministry, Don Gregorio
Molhnera and Don Jose Ramirez de Arellano,
with Colonel Enoila, proceeded from the palace
with cornet and the order to suspend the fire,
and the official notice of the appointment OF
| the Duke of Victoria, as president Of the coun-
Gil They performed their duty, after running
many risks.
Julg 22-The last days of July call to mem
DRY the most heroic deeds of our history. A
young woman of Madrid, on her way home, on
| the morning of the 18th, disarmed one of the
civil guard in the Plaza de la Constitution,
after a strong contest with him. She seized
the musket with the greatest GOODNESS, and on
| reaching her house in Polonia street, said to
her husband with the greatest enthusiasm
snow you have arms-go to barricade.'
