Horrible Specimens of Humanity

African travellers have spoken of a tribe of negroes wlo possess that ornamental alpen- dagp so much admired by Lord Monboddo, d tail: but their statements have never received credeLce
 Il appears, however, that race of men with tails, really does exist n the interior of Africa. In recent sitting of the Academic des Sciences. NJ. de Couret, related that in 1S42, he found in the service of friend at Mecca, one of those wretches, the lowest assuredly of mankind. The creature had an exterior prolongation of the vertebral column to the extent of three or four inches. He stated that he belonged to the tribe of the Ghlancs, whose territory is situated far beyond the Sennar, W ho are thirty or forty thousand in number; they worship the sun, the moon, the stars, the serpent and the sources oi great yer Supposed to be the Nile,) to which they immOlate victims.
 They eat plants, roots, fruit and raw flesh and like 1t bleeding; are very partial to human flesh and eat the bodies of their enemies, of al ages and both sexes whom they may slay i battlc They however, prefer the flesh Of wo- men and children as more succuent. They rarely exceed five feet in height, are ill propor toned, with long, thin bodies, long arms, long CT and hatter hands and feet than the rest o human kind, have the lower jaw large and long the forehead narrow and excessively rereating the ears long and deformed, the eyes small black and brilliant; the nose large and flat, tht mouth large, the lips thick the teeth strong and sharp, the hair woolly but not abundant M de Couret says that his fidelity to his mas ter was striking and that he was not withou intelligence; but in the slave markets of th east, where the race is not unknown they ar considered detestable.

By preVioVs appointment, this democratic elecor, for the State at large, addressed the ci- : tizens of Ouacta at the city of Camden on Wednesday last. He spoke from II o'clock A. N. until near , o'clock, r. NJ. To say i! was a great speech falls short of doing the ora tor iustice-t3 say, that it was patriotic and elo- quent, s |" give Gut a faint idea of its power beauty and majesty.
 Col. Burrow possesses iu all eminent degree all the great qualities for an orator and statas- man. He combines, with commanding per sonal appearance prepossessng address; and with extensive learning and great powers oi reasoning, he combines those imaginative pow CTS that render his style a ouce ornate and caI- tivatug. He can by his reasoning convince the mind, or at hs ease weave a garland of roses or like the mountain torrents, by the power of hs eloluence, sweep every thing before him.
 regret the want of space and time to state at length, many of lis leading arguments and the positions which he assumed He proved hy history, as well as by argument that the Know Nothing or sell-Stylod American partv', creed was uothing more than the resurrection of the principles of the old Hartford convention iats, with the addition of two tory principles of the British government, that even that prou4 and afi,tocratic eovernment had been forced to abandon in this enlightened and christian age.
 After hi- complete dissection and exposure of the aims anl objects of all the enemies of democracy, and their J~sioa occasionally in cer- tain latitules, think if he left tie ghostly skeleton Of sam and Sanho's party here that t looked so hileous and delprmcd that none ol i-s friends here would have stood godfather for it.

'ri,;s roa.l may be said to have solved tb

Ti'ss roal may be said to have solved the problem of the successful and profitable cult- vation of tue entire pralries of the State and the solution seems to threaten revolution in agriculture, almost equal to that of cotton ma nufactarins by the introduction of machinery and steam power. As consequence, the Ill- nois Central railroad is cumuating to a magni. tu4e beyond all expectation. It's interests and business, promising to take breadth and vast ness that will out-strip-al all calculation and override all management, and the enterprise to emoafFass rather by excessive vitality than any want ot t, lnsureS the cultivation of every acre of thu prares in the free States, and renders thls problem worth consdering-whether since such double miracle has been wrought on the prairies oi llIlnols by railroads, similar one in and, though not in degree, notwithstanding To- cal reculiarities, may not be wrought on the magnificent pralries and mineral lands of the uthwest.-Boston RaIaoay Times.

1t IS an lrstinctive characteristic, known to all, which prompts certain anim als of a low grade of existence to invariably seek their most consenlal elements; for instance, we learn that A the e1og will return to his vomit, and the s0,C to her mire-" This instinct, albeit, meitioned to the shame of ihe human family. i, never theiess . tralt peculiar to feoo members of our exalted race, who by some lusus nat,ue are created !" lit temples for the indweling" of every thing that Is mean, low and degrading.

That paper, backeE by the printers deca of the Washington Telegraph office, per sists in misrepreSenting the undersigned as one of the editors of the Hempsead Democrat And, notwithstanding, the editor of the Ga Zette and the printers devil aforesaid. have had the unpleasant onus of extricating themselves from the charge of lying, cast upon them, they have evaded the issue and the Gazette. true to its instinct returns to the "vomt', of it's lies and :" mire' of its slander The exclamation already male vndicates the undersigned to the entire satisfaction of his friends. and leaves the promuIg gator of the slanderous device in a pre- dcament which he cannot tacitly bear As I have no further eX Xplanation to make. no apo- logy to oifer am left to contend with an un- scrupulous foe-whose abuse ;s praise but whose lies are calculated to nIisead. It is frc quently a subject of inquiry. why the Hemp stead Democrat and its editors are made special objects of the Gazettes sl leen? Is it because we have directed all our means and energies to the advancement of the democratic party or is It because ol some personal enmity on the part ot the editor of the Gazette? If the former, he has waged dshonolable wareGare against us--lf Ihe latter he has chosen an unmanlv re- sort for personal satisfaction.

Appalling Earning of q ship.


 The following details of a horrible case Of piracy and burning of ship at Macao have been received at Loyd's:
 Tine Dutch ship iIanca, Capt. lIeymens, 100 tons burden, with between 3O) and 400 cln grants (coolco) for Havana, put back to Macao, about month since, (the despatch is dated Hong Kong, August lO) with her water casks leaking and cargo shifted, having cmcoun- tered boloterouS weather, and on reaching the outer roads brought up to an anchor Tbere she rema ned repairing, her officers eXcercising strict vigilance in preventing the coolIes going ashore, for fear they should make their escape. For the three weeks, whatever discontent may have prevailed, n0 fears of an outbreak would seem to have been cutertaner until Chinese doctor warned the captain that mischief was brewing. In preparing for such contingency as a rising of the coollles, the small arms were placed on the poop, and two guns were loaded with grape and pointed forward. About 6 o'clock of the night of the 8th the disturbance commenced, and the crew took refuge on the poop. The captain first fired shot or two overhead, but that had no effect, and the cooes advanced towards them yelling fright fully. armed with belaying pins bricks, torn from the cooking places, etc, the captain gave OItcfS lo lilo lilci tD iIc ana ilililSuldleIN d volev was poured into the imfuriated mass from the two guns, and also from the small arms This had the effect of checking and putting down the riot, and in few minutes the cap tain was appalled, by seeing flames issuing up from the fore hatch. frightfu scene of car mage followed; the coolies rushed up on deck and no doubt murdered all the officers of the ship. The ship was soon in blaze fore and aft In about an hour the main mast fet with a crash, then the fore and mizen, and about midnight the magazine blew up with a tremendous explosion. Tn, ship was instant lv hurled to fragments and vast number 0 poor creatures, who were clin9ing to the chains perahed wlth her. Of the number who were on board, ucuding the crew and passengers (about 5OO,) only 1oO escaped with their lives the remainder were either burnt or drowned The affair has produced great sensation a Hong Kong.
