HThere has been a sort of Sickler af
fair at Canandaigua, n Y. A Mr.. ant
and Mrs. Warren were invited to a party
but the wife pursuaded her husband to at
tend without her, she being indisposed.-
Mr.. Warren consented, but on bis way
met a Mr.. Phelps, a bachelor of that
beautiful village, and a very prominent,
and esteemed citizen, and having his suspi.
cions aroused followed Phelps, saw him en-.
ter his, Warren's house having a friendly
tete-a-tete with Mrs. Warren after which
the guilty retired to Mr.. Narren's bed
Mr.. Warren knocked but receiving no an
swer broke in the door, confronted Phelps
before he could escape from the bed room
and beat him to a Jelly. The Rochester
Union says Phelps Query brought in War
ren's son. and the father told him to get a
carving knife, but the boy would not, tell
ing his father he would be hung if he kill
ed Phelps. Phelps escaped, but Warren
again caught him and thrashed him again,
and did not "let up until an officer inter

The Battle Of Brownsville.

We have in the New Orleans papers, co
pious details of the ssbattle" which was
fought when the Americans sailed forth,
with their Mexican allies, to whip Cortinas
and were whipped. The terrible nature OF
the combat may be judged from the fact
that the Americans lost not q single man
and two pieces of artillery. The Extra Of
the Brownsville Flag. says:
We lost,the battle;.two cannon were Ia
ken from US; but no wounded on our side.
On the part of our Mexican a~uxilliaries
five were wounded and two killed. The
other party's loss could not be ascertsined.
Fearful and wonderful battle wasn't it
A letter from Brownsville to the N. O.
Pscayuae, says:
On Monday the party under Laranca
united with ours, making a total force of
nearly $50 men, and two pieces of cannon.
The "hull on EN- thus commanded, ar
rived at the ranch of Dona Estefena at
about 2 o'clock, which they found in the
possession of an advance guard of about
twenty men, who, after few ~roIleys, re-
tired to apoint about four hundred yards
above. A number of men, with one piece
of cannon, went in pursuit. They soon
came to a place where the road passed
through : deose ehapparral, when a heavy
fire was opened on them by an unseen
enemy. The fight now became gen.
ezal and promiscuous. Soon, however,
the Mexican gun, by its recoil, was dis
ruantled, and the howitzer, belonging to
Capt Kennedy, was uucoupled by the break
ing of the king bolt rendering both use
less. "Consternation seized our army"
and q second edition of the "Bladensburg
Races" was exhibited, and such a getting
to town was never before witnessed. In a
word the conglomerate of Cameron coun-
ty were compelled to make an irregular, in
glorious, disgraceful retreat, leaving both
pieces of cannon behind, which are now a
the possession Of general cottinzs. Thus
eudeah the FIRST lesson.

AN-EL.A
From the Charlestown letterof the New York
Herald.
Mrs. Russell, wiz of Judge Russell, Wis
tied him the Other day. and had a long
chat with him. He appeared very much
pleased with the lady's manner, and was
very communicative With her, In ~illustra-
ting his OWE character he SAID that he had
never knopnSvbat fearzvas when brought
into Opposition ofceIlasioa with his fellow
man, but be bad q strange feeling of that
nature on his FIRST introduction to the high.
er class Of men with whom his peculiar
and Maynard life brought him into contact.
This feeling, he said, was very awkward
and very painful, ALSO when entering the
society Of women. The interview with
Ms. Russell seemed to touch the old mans
heart and no oma could turn from him,
so full Of trials and soTow-for a woman
at such q moment rarely looks back to the
first causes-without emotion.
Brown frequently INDUCES in amusing
narratives Of his encounters with his Dor
der enemies of Kansas and Missouri. He
related TO me thst upon one occasion he
had succeeded in running away witha par
ty of slaves from Missouri, but that he was
so hotly pursued that some stratagem was
necessary to prevent them being oyertaken
in the event of which a severe fight and
consequent sacrifice of life must be the re-
suit. 70 avoid this, Brown himself turned
off the track of the retreating party, and
having completely disguised himself, joined
S an amateur the pursuers. With them
he remained q day and a night entering
into their counsels and effectually control
ling their motions, SO that he turned them
of the right track and gave his friends an
opportunity to escape. The old man laugh
ed as he realized the scene, and said, Il
never wa good at a disguise, but that
time l deceived several of the party who
had seen and known me before With
all who come 10 a kindly spirit to visit him,
Brown is exceedingly free and open. He
esteems such as friends, and seems to view
their leave-taking with regret. But these
visits are but as angels's visits, few and far
between, for the Jealousy and suspicion
with which the people at Charlestown re-
gard all who are likely to feel for and sym
pathize with the prisoner--in fact all
straugers-keep barred the prison doors.
II is not so, however, in regard to those
about whose earnest hostility to all aboli-
ton movements there is no doubt enter
tanned. They enter in in focks; and cape
and stare and follow the jailer in and out.
II was even with some difficulty that l
succeeded in effecting an entrance to
Browns prison; but scarcely had l com-
menced a conversation with him when the
chief j%anitor called mt to join the tail Of
the retiring visitors.

ffoaf which nanknd suffer over a large part h
dc aobe. is the Consequence of diseased ae6oA

the action Of solar heat on wet soil. and rises with

poison on the internal yiscera and excreting organs
oithe body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
sccrete not ouly tins virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
u the circulation. and produce violent ~eonkticu-
6 tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordercd also. Finally, the instinct Of our or
ganisfn, as Il in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood OF the body
in the internal excretories to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and PUSHES to
the central organs with congestiye violence. This
is the Gull. But in this effort it falls Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN

another effort to expel the i~rritatiBg poissathrough

also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt

to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
