TT. Dryer, Esq, editor of the 0regonian, has
been unfortunate in fight, He was in fact ter
ribly beaten by a party of ruffans, the principal
Of whom was one Lasater We quote Dryer s
description Of the fight:
We both fell upon some opened shse boxes,
Lasater on top, still graspng our thoat After a
few blows he inserted the thumb of his right
hand into our left eye, and forced it almost from
its socket At this time, by desperate and
superhuman effort, we released his grasp from
our throat, and his thumb from the eye, and fell
upon the floor. Lasater then seized us by the
hair and attempted to gOuge our other eye out,
which we prevented by turning our face close to
the floor and locking cur fingers and pressing our
hands to our eyes. After several fruitless efforts
to insert his thumb int our right eye he again
commenced pounding us on the back Of the head
with his fist.
The only aid and comfort we had was the
vociferous yell of 'sGive him hell Dig his
damned eyes outl " Go in Lasaster /" ETC., etc.
After we supposed they might be satisfied with
the beating they had given us, We requested that
he should be taken off. which was done.
Mr.. Dryer was not so successful as Long John
Wentworth, who happily "warded off blow
by strong man with stout hickory stick, "with
our head" Neither was he so adroit as John
Phoenix, who inserted " our nose into the Colo
nel's mouth, for the purpose Of holding him down"

A RrMIxIscENoE.-The Jersey City Courier is
indebted to an intelligent correspondent for an
interesting reminiscenoe Of Aaron Burr. The
authority is the late Col. HAgerman, who receiv-
ed the statement from the lips Of the late Peter
Jay Monroe distinguished lawyer, who studied
his profession with Col. Burr. Soon after the
duel, which terminated the death Of Gen. Hamil
ton, while Mr.. Monroe was seated, on dark,
stormy night, in his library. he was informed by
servant that a man in disguise earnestly desired
to see him. Upon being shown in, and the dis
guise removed, Col Burr stood before him. say
ing that his life was in danger: that he had with
difficulty eluded his pursuers; that he must make
his escape secretly and that he was entirely des
titute Of funds. Mr. Monroe, from whom Col
Burr had not received the usual students fee Of
$3.50, allowing compound interest on that amount
from the time he eutere the Office till 1914, drew
his check for between sixteen and seventeen hun
dred dollars. with which the fugitive made his
escape.

THE WILD AFRIcANs,-A letter from
Telfair county, Georgia, gives the following
account of the wandering Africans that
were for some days in duress there, and
were recently surrendered to the parties from
whom they were taken, because the Govern
ment failed to give instructions as to their
disposition
The most of these negroes are very likely,
and are from six to tweDty-one years old ;
there is only one woman among them. They
seem perfectly happy, and are as contented
and free from care as if roaming their
native wilds They remain in jail only at
night; during the day they are permitted
the freedom of the yard. Some of them
are quite smart, and are quick to learn. AT
first they could not speak word Of English;
some of them, since they have been here,
have mastered many words. Money and
whisky are favorite words with them--all
love money and all appear to love whisky
They seem to have a knowledge of the value
of coin, but none of our paper currency.

since which time all scraps of paper are in
great demand with them. A newspaper
was torn into small pieces and carefully put
away, they thinking it will answer the same
purpose as money. Their dances and sports
are very amusing and original. Most of the
older ones are quite ingenious, making knives
and other things out of iron hoops and sar.

The NEAPoLITAN EXILEs.-1be Revolt
on Board the David StewGrt.-The Nam
chester Guardian has the particulars of the
revolt of the Neopelitan eziles on board Of
the ship David Stewart, of Baltimore, which
caused her to pat into Cork instead Of
coming to New York. After stating that
an Italian sailor on board joined the exiles
in protesting against coming to New York,
aud demanding to be taken to the nearest
port, the Guardian says
The exiles stated that they bad a navi-
gator in their party, and even if they had
to take the ship out of the hands of the
captain and crew, they would be able to sail
her without their assistance. They repre-
sented to the captrin that they bad been two
months at sea, many of them being old, and
all of them with constitutions more or less
enfeebled by an imprsonment Of ten years,
so that a long voyage would be torture to
them all. aSd death perhaps to some They

"REMINISCENCES OF THE KEY FAMILY.
THE nITET. &C

The Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, gives the following interesting remin-
iscences of the Key family, and of the earlier
life Of Philip Barton Key, who, it appears per-
suaded Miss Swami. of Baltimore, to break her
engagement with Col May:
The Keys are q family unfortunate in their
personal differences. l have referred to the case
of an elder brother of Mr.. Key, who was killed in
duel about twenty years ago. 1t has been err
roneously stated, in Washington print, the
quarrel was about woman. 1t was a boyish
caprice, and yet the cause and course of it were
characteristic on both sides. Sherburne and
Key were young midshipmen together They
sailed in the same ship on one of the long and
fruitess cruises prescribed for the exercise Of our
Navy. Mr.. Sherburne was from New Hampshire,
quiet and unobtrusive Mr.. Key was q Mary
lander, connected with the most aristocratlc fam
lilies of that State and Virginia He took dis
like to Mr.. Sherburne, and pursued him with
ceaseless insults on board the ship, A party Of
young midshipmen attended an evening party
given by Congressional mess, at a fashionable
boarding house here in Washington. The middle.
took wine together, but Mr.. Key was observed tC
leave his wine untasted. He was called on for nj
explanation and gave it bluntly, by saying tha
| Sherburne was q coward for not resenting the in
dignities he had before inflicted ON him, and ht
could not drink with him. The poor young maj
was at last aroused. He looked steadily at Mr.
Key, also sitting his glass down, AM said 81

ought to have known me better; will correc
your mistake" He then bowed to his compan
ions, excepting Key, drank TO then aud re tired
The next morning Sherburne sent message
which produced a meeting at Bladensburg. Key
was shot through the kidneys, and fingered TIVE
days in intolerable anguish.
! Keys marriage was also attended and prece

| temperament Col. Charles May, of Palo Alt
celebrity, had court I'd the beautiful Miss Swami
of Baltimore, and been accepted by her. He intro

DEMOCRACY IN RHODE ISLAND Among
the resolutions Of the recent Democratic
State Convention Of Rhode Island were the
following;
/. Resolued, That the conservative prin-
cipes, broad basis and national characters
Of the Democratic party, are guaranty
for its perpetuity as the great party Of the
country.
2. Resoloed, That the efforts of the Presi-
dent of the United States to annex by pur
chase the Island of Cuba his recommends
tion of revenue tariff, giving efficient
incidental protection to home industry; his
vigilance in protecting the lives and prop
erty Of our frontier population from lawless
aggressions; and bis able management of
our foreign affairs; all assert his eminent
fitness for the Chief Magistracy, and entitle
him to the united support of the Democratic
party.
| 8. RESOLVED, That the principle of non
intervention by Congress in the internal
concerns not only of the States but of the
Territories, is the only practible principle
! by which the continual agitation of the
slavery question in Congress can be pre-
vented an agitation which not only dis
tracts the attention Of Congress from usefu
legislation, but promotes sectional prejudice
aud thereby weakens the ties Of nAtiona
brotherhood; and that this principle, having
been originally laid down by the Demo
cratic party, and being now acquiesced by +,
large majority Of the people, ought to b
consistently maintained and honestly ap
piled.
