by of the crew of the Viper that the vessel was
burned because they had no to send away in her
and that they had orders to burn out of every three
vessels taken. The landed the beach at
kabenela Com Totten had demanded an explanation
of the commander of the Viper who responded to three
categorical questions put by Com Totten, as follows
First-Had the vessel the American flag flying at
the time she was visited by the boat? Answer-She
had the American flag flying; and from information
from the British government, dated the 9Th and 22d Of
July last there every just to believe that in

sequently she was seized
Second-lf her papers were correct? Answer-In
my opinion they incorrect, of them undoubt

Third-If the American flag was still flying when the
matches opened? Answer-The American flag

tell you an anecdote decidedly Houstonian The old he
re a short time since received document the contents
of which appeared have been particularly dstasteu

men would have DONE what did he do but procure a
quantity of tar and feathers and smearng the inside of
the paper with the tar, and sprnkng the feathers
enclosed it in an ample envelope and fanked to the
gentleman who sent it. Hope you will not publish this
because his constituents would raise the cry of shame

Is THE PLANET MARS INHABITED ?-rhe opponents
of the doctrine of the plurality of worlds allow that
greater probability exists of Mars being inhabited than
in the of any other planet His diameter is 4l00
miles; and his surface exhibits spots of different hues
the seas according accurate observation appearing to
be green and the land red The variety 10 the spots, it
is thought may arise from the planet not being dest
tue Of atmosphere and cloud but what adds greatly to
the probability of this, is the appearance of brilliant
white spots at its poes which have been conectured to
be snow as they disappear when they have long been
exposed the sum- and are greatest when emerging from
the long night of their polar winter the snow line then
extending to about six degrees from the POLE The
length of the day is almost exactly twentyour hours
the same as that of the earth Continents and
and green savannahs have been observed upon Mars and
the snow of his polar regions has been to disappear
with the heat of summer. Clouds may actually be
floating in the atmosphere of the planet and there is the
appearance of land and water on his disc.
A FATAL DIsEAsE.-Mr. Dewitt Fields informs us
that disease has appeared among his hogs which proves
very fatal The presence of the malady is indicated by
the swelling of the mouth and tongue the latter protrud
ing from the mouth and cracking The disease makes
its appearance very suddenly and the hog dies very
short space Of time On account of its resemblance, in
some respects to the black tongue, he has tried the
remedies which proved most successful in checking that
disease but they have all failed The hogs which have
been attacked SO far are those which have been in the
range.
Can any one tell us by what name the disease is
known and if there is any cure for it

safetY Of our Publlo ArmorIer.

The recent seizure of llarpers Ferry by
a small band Of white men and negroes, has
drawn attention to the safety of our public
armories and forts, and has elected the face
that there is not a single regiment Of regular
soldiers on the entire Atlantic and Gulf
seaboard The New York Herald says there
are but two companies at Fort Hamilton to
protect New York Harbor, one company at
Boston, one just returning from Newport to
the West, two companies at Charleston, one
Key West, and eight companies of recruits
at the artillery school at Fortress Monroe
The immense fortifeation constructing on
the Dry Fortugas, which has already cost
millions Of dollars, stand alone in the center
of thousand miles Of unguarded coast, with
not a hundred soldiers to guard it, il il were
menaced. Within eighty miles OF this great
work, designed, says the New York Herald,
to be the Gibraltar of the Gulf Of Mexico
the 0aptain-General Of Cuba has twenty
thousand disciplined troops and twenty-five
steam ships of war, which, in seven hours,
would enable him to take the fortress, and
to keep it for months and perhaps years.
The subject certainly deserves the early
attention of Congress
