A Whaiemnm Among Arabs.

The whale brig Lewis Bruce, of Orleans
Cspt. Ryder arrived at Boston on Wednes-
day from The coast Of Africa, where she has
been crui ing several months in search Of
whales She brought home $40 barrels Of
oil and $4,000 lbs of bone The vhalemcn
during their voyage were often in the yicih-
ity Of tue wandering Arabs, who frequently
come down 10 the coast from the Great Des.
ert. Cpt. Ryder was once captured by them
while on shore, and they attempted to get
him on camel and carry him off alive but
the capt, in was too courages to be thus made
a slave of, and he mar fully resisted, when
the sGvages shot Linn in the legs to cripple
him, and he in turn shot one Of The Arats
dead. Fortunately at this juncture he was
saved by other whalemen coming 10 the res
cue WHO drove the Arabs eff and carried
the wounded man TO his vess,l. Capt Ryder
recovered from his wounds and came hom4
in command of his vessel. There were about
doz whaling vessels on the coast, and the
$, amen had carried on considerable tradin :
with The padves, who are represented as be-
ing exceediDgly treacheioIs. The men while
on shore always went in company and were
well armed.

The following article, which has ap-
appeared in, HoHs Journal Of HegiRs, we
think will not be amiss to give TO our readers,
this week. Ircoincidesw our views and
may be beneficial TO those who intend lead

Hard study hurts nobody, but hard eat'ng
does. 1t is a very commol thing to s,tribute
the premature disability or death of students
and eminent mer to too close application to
their studies. 1t has now become TO be y
generally admitted truth, that hard study 4"
rs it is called, endangers life. II is a mis-
chievous error that severe mental application
undermines health. Unthinking people will
di' miss this with the exclamation OF " that's
all stuff" or something equally conclusive
To those who search after trrth in the love
of it, we wish to offer some suggestions.
Many German sci GLARS have studied for a
lifetime for sixt en- hours out Of the twenty
four, and very large number from twelve
to fifteen hours, lived in comparative health,
anl died beyon the sixties.
One Of the most sterling Of living minds,
Prof Silliman, the tlder the past winter
Travelled through the county at the age IF
neatly eighty years, and good health. deliy-
ering geological lectures, living mentally on
The hard food of rocks, iron, Iridium and
the IKE Another strong example Of the
tru h that health and hard study are not in
compatible, is found in the great Missourisn,
Thomas II. Benton, now past three score
and ten, and in the Enjoyment ofvigorous
health a more severe student t an he has
been, and is now, the American public does
not know. DR.. Charles Caldwell, our honor
ell precepor, lived beyond the eighties. with
high bodily health remarkable ply ical vigor,
and mental force scarcrly abaed yet for
great part Of his life he studied fifteen hours
out Of the the twenty-four, and at one time
gave bat five hours to sleep. John Quincy
Adams, the old man eloquent, is snoher
equally strong example of our osition. All
these men, with the venerable Dr. Mott, nov
more than eighty years old, made the pre-
servation of health scientific study, and by
systematic temperance, neither blind nor
spasno1ic, secured the prize for which they
labored, and with it years, usefulness and
honor. For the present, we content ourselves
with the enunciation of Inc gist Of this arli
Gle. Students and professional men are not
much injured by hard study as haid eating ;
nor is severe study for lifetime, of itself
incompatible with mental and bodily vIgor to

The Kansas Prisoners.

Eds. Gazette: Your note in the paper of
this morning, in relation to the Kansas
prisoners, though Lot intended, is calcula.
ted to mislead the public. The application
for habeas corpus was made, and after a
full examination of the case, finding that
the indictment for treason, charged the Of
fence as within the Constitution, and that
the defendants were arrested under war
rant issued by the Court on the indictment,
l refused the application for the writ, as
there was no ground from the face of the
papers, to hold the detention as illegal, and
that was the only ground on which the
prisoners, on the habeas corpus, could be
released,
The counsel asked leave to withdraw
the papers, with the view of amending the
return, and granted them to him.
/ acted upon certified copies OF the in.
dictment and the warrant, under which the
prisoners were held. .......

About 10 o'clock on the morning Of the
10Th inst, party of eighteen P. s. men
were surrounded by Gen. Lanes whole ar
my, 800 strong, and cut their way through
with the loss Of two men killed and ten
wounded. The same men, about 400 or
500 abolitionists, surrounded Col. Titus
house, having with them piece Of cannon;
after an hours defence and when most OF
his men were killed. Titus surrendered.
1t is feared that as he was not summoned
to surrender that he was executed on the
spot. General Clark escaped with his fam
lily across the river before Lanes army
reached that point, and are now at Col. Nc
Carty's in this city. Gov. Shannon and
nearly all the citizens of Lecompton escaped.
Lieutenant Woodson, being forted up in the
house with his family, were taken. Wood
son is prisoner and his house burned
down.
A fight took place on the 14th, near Osa-
wattamie, between 200 abolitionists and
twelve pro-slavery men, who were forted
up. Fourteen aboitionists were killed and
sixteen wounded. The abolitionists were
repulsed. Lecompton is 10 be destroyed TO-
night.
NEAR LEcoMrroN, August l6, 1856.
Friends Of LdU and Order, the Adolf
tionists have come on us this morning about
daylight, whipped and taken prisoners our
men. Lecompton is taken, and deserted
by the women and children. Lanes men
are about 300 strong. The U. S. Troops
have also been whipped. Will you come
to our rescue before we are all murdered
We are out of powder and lead and every
kind of ammunition. Our friends are now
stationed in Sheriff Jones house, as many as
can, and will fight to the last. Will you
help us? if SO, come at once. Unless we
get help we will all be murdered. The
foregoing is reliable.

Prospect of Cheap Flour.

The Cincinnati Price Current estimates
the quantity of wheat gathered the present
harvest at fully ten per cent. greater than
has been gathered any previous year: The
same authority also states that the quality of
the new wheat is excellent. The grain is
full and bright and perfectly dry and sound;
and from careful examination of the ad-
vices which it has received, it feels justified
in giving the following figures as the IAN
tity of wheat gathered in each State this
year:
