| SLAVERY EXEMPTION LAWs.-The Baton Rouge
Advocate, of the 10Th i'll referring to the Crescents
views against the policy OF slave exemption, as pro-
posed by certain unreiectng individuals makes the
following remarks:
Up to this, the advocates Of a law eyemptinr one
or more slaves 10 each owner from execution and
sale i'll this State. for debt have had the argument
| all their own way. Many of their reasons in favor
of such a law are plausible, if not convincing but
none are una1s"clabc. The subject is one recurring
deep attention; affecting, as it does relations not
alone connected with the immediate Question: but
embracing many important corrourics of a strictly
business character. We have not suffered ourselves
to he drawn into the scheme on its first presentation
Tor the very reasons of its Importance to the people
OF the state. Many have jumped to the conclusions
arrived at by the originat0r> OF the measure without
any consideration Of its negative sde-for in reflect.
Ing over the matter, the man Of sngaCy will discover
That there Is ground Or dissent-or inquiry as to the
ultimate ELECTS On society Of the passage Of such
law. it Is peculiar and distinct from any other pro
perty exemption scheme ever tried and whether it
would give strength by diffusion to the institution of
slavery as concnded, may well be questioned.
\ law eNemptlnE from execution and sale property
to the vniuc OF 500 or more whether il be home.
stead cash capital, or Of any other description would
he more nnOl.erona''e, BECAUSE more general III its
operations. Even law OF this character ought to be
limited to succeSSous for the benefit Of widows and
Minors This principle is we believe Il good one, and
would prove highly acceptable to the people of the
State.

4 correspondent Of the New York Herald gives the
following account Of recent gale at Niagara Fails
We have just experienced one of the most terrific
gales within tIe7nemO}y Of thtt most dstincl.hcdI
d!vdua!, the oldest inhabitantN Trees have bee,.
torn up. small temements, s!lalties and outbulincs
overturned. and their fragments strewn over the fields
in every direction.
The volume Of water driven over the Falls of Ma,
CARA was truly appalling, carrying with drift wood
logs and tlmber from the eluget wharves and shores
above. Ihe Suspension Bridge W2s-,considered in
great danger The toll gates were for time deserted
ami many astl'Niols eye trenbngl awaited the de-
strnction OF this magnificent StrctriTe. B the winds
blew IN vain the hurricane in all its terrible fury
swept by. leaving the airy cditice unsCathel and ad-
ding another laurel to the triumphant genius of the
architect.
Reports are hourly coming in Of damages in all d.
rectloHs. but the most remarkable event thus far is
the overthrow Of the old Pagoda which thousands of
your readers will recolect stood on the highest point
OF the battle ground, at Lundy's Lane. At about
seven clock last evening, the intense rocking started
the Inmates from the wooden tenement at the base
and scarcely had they made good their escape when
with tremendous crlSh the entire tower of nearly
TWO hundred feet measured its length upon the frozen
ground, scattering its upper portion into thousand
fragments fortunately no lives were lost as it fell to
the westward, i'll the open fields. Had it fallen in any
other direction. it must have crushed in several dwell
lngs and destroyed many lives Within its length and
but few rods from its line Of fall, congregation was
assembled in the Methodist Church. and the escape is
4 cause Of great cOngratulution.
Old Captain Erack is a severe loser by its fall and
as there is another tower Oh the ground, he will
scarcely rebuild it.
The water below the Falls raised over thirty feet
entirely covering the piers Of the steamboat landing
and the landing room at the foot OF the staircase on
the American side.

an end was soon put TO the melee, the rioters being
