SINGULAR ArRIcAN SufEnsrIrroH.---. -. The New York Times has rapid sketch of the history of the island of Hayti. and gives an account of | singular African su- persti,ion, which prevails not only on that island but among the negroes of the South- western States. The superstition is the worship of green serpent IS god.
 The reptile Is put in a cage, inclosed on three sides, and open only on one. Ina worshipers perform their rites in secret places. They divest themselves of cloth ing, and put on red handkerchieis instead !; then form circle around the cage, and perform crazy sort ofdance. The high- priest then passes round his hat and re- ceiyes offerings; and putting up . petition l for needed benefits, resumes the mad or- gies, until in a delirium of ianasical Phren- lzy, they retire to the wood and enact scenes | of nameless horror. This idolatry per- vades the entire lower classes ol the ttay~
 ten population. Soulouque. the now ex- l fled emperor of the island. was exalted to
 the throne in lS4S. mainly oA the ground
 of his popularity as high-priest ot the snake-
 worshiping sect, and his wife was high- priestess of the same. Perhaps 2 better
 cine f, ,be moral aud intellectual state of of ,he vulgar masses of the Haytiens could
 not be given. There is no accounting for he absurdilies of heasheuism. only that men ..did not like to retain God m their
 knowledge. and God gave them over to A
 rerrobate mind"

AN INCIDENT OF THE MEXICAN
 WAR.

From the New York Tribune. -
 As the Kentucky regimen mt crossed the Nueces, and reached those immense prairies and wood- bound streams which spread themselves out three hundred miles to the Rio Grande, great quantities Of game presented strong temptation to the soldiers, and 1t was found very difficult to keep the regiment from struggling. .--s When the camp ground was chosen, the sick, the lame, and the hunters were, con trary to all military rules, stretched out for miles behind. This was the greater breach of orders, because frequent signs of roveing Comanches were seen, who, not having the fear of Uncle Sam before their eyes, were ready to cut of any strag- gler secretly, and appropriate his clothes and gun. One day, Capt. Cassius M. Clay, of the Kentucky Volunteers, was hunting turkeys, and strayed several miles from his regiment. A flock of turkeys flew out of the the prairies into the woods
 which skirted stream (that once was, but is now, in July, dry.) Tying his fine blood ed horse to a bush, he entered the dry channel of the quondam stream, the banks of which rose on both sides above hls head, and began calling the turkeys, in Indian style, with the small bone of a defunct l,urkey's pinion. The fowls answered, and came nearer and nearer.
 At length. on raising his head cautious | ly above the banks, instead of seeing the
 turkeys he heard click Y There is no
 noise of tree or stream, or wild beast, in

 As quick as thought. he slipped back into

 who had been watching them from thu wood, took an opposite course, and quite troop ofthem could be seen deploying iron the wood, in long Indian file, into tn
 prairie eastwardly. The regiment ha' crossed in such direction that Clay ha' , to follow the trace by making the two side I of triangle. and the Indians, if delermin , ed to interrupt him, had only to mak one. Notwithstanding the odds agains him, trusting to the blood of his Kentuck

Chief Justice Fancy on the Right and Dusy of Congress to Protect Slave Persons and Slave Property.
From the Richmond Enquirer.


 It is matter of sincere congratulation among the conservative men of the whole country, at this moment, when present au- thorly on the subject is so important, that the most authoritative judicial voice in the Union has spoken directly on the question of Congressional protection to slave prop erty. yas Sl
 In the case of the slave Amy, decided a few days since, Chief Justice Fancy has furnished written decision, which re- peats and confirms in all its force the views previously set forth by Gov. Wise, in his late letter to MT. Sanford. \.
 From review of the decision, we dis cover the assertion of the following great principles of doctrine. .sss
 l. That slaves are recognized by the Constitution of the United States in the character of persons.
 g. That slaves are represented in Con- gress as persons.
 3. That as persons, they are, in many instances, at least, subject to certain liabll- ities, and. invested with the rights core spending to those liabilities. in the same way that other persons are. | 4. That among these liabilities are those which render them amenable to trial and punishment for crimes and misdemeanors ; and among these rights IS the right oi lega protection against personal injury. r 5. That the Constitution of the United States also recognizes slaves as property l 6. "As property, the rights of the owner are entitled to the protection of the law | i. e. the laws of the United States enacted | by Congress.
 l The entire identity of this view of tht mater, with that presented by Goveno Wise, must be at once manifest to ever. 1 reader. aae n
 l Thus. the last question which has threat ened to divide us by a sectional issue, ! at last directly decided by the highest ju dicial authority in the Union. Even thos of our feIlow-citizens who have hithert been disposed to withhold Congressiona protection from slave persons and slav property, will, doubtless, yield the sam |acquescence to the decision in the case c the slave Amy. which they have already as good citizens, accorded to the decisio in the case of Dred Scott.
 I It is a matter of further congratulate |that both these decisions are due to tn |saga gacily, the legal lore and high integ-it of man who wears not less worthily tha
 did his predecessor in office, the ermin
 robe which he received immediately frol
 ,he shoulders of John Marshall. m

HoLLow BRICK, WALLs.-A great saving of expense and material in the con struction of buildings, has been for some time gained by builders in the Eastern cities. by making their thirteen.inch walls or walls of greater thickness, hollow. The outside and inside of the wall is built, in the usual manner. leaving the inside va cant, except every fourth or fifth course oi brick, when it is tied together, thus making it just as substaniialas wall built solld. The saving in material and expense IS fully osE-rouRTH, which is considerable item. In addition to the saving in ex- pense, another very important consldsra- ton is gained thereby. It prevents the inside walls of brick houses from becoming damp. as the solid wall is sure to do IT this climate.

racer he gave a shot of defiance, waved his hat, and plunged into the wood, follow ing the trace for half mile before he struck the opposite prairie. With breath less anxiety he approached the clear space, not knowing but that he would be cut off by a superior force, while still out of hear ing or gunshot from the regiment. But \" luck attends the dsring sportsman" and as he emerged into the wide sea of grass and flowers, the coast was clear, and all was serene and lovely-not a red-skin to be seen!
 Clay describes his feelings as being descent suddenly from the sublime to the ridiculous, and he laughed outright at his resemblance to the |" wicked" who are said to q flee when no man pursueth." - But the sun was fast sinking in tie west, and, being far behind the regiment, he kep, up a brisk canter, till the hindmost stragglers came into view. Misery loves company; so does merriment. Putting spurs to his already panting charger, and assuming the widest and most terrified air, he came up crying, "Fly for your lives; the Comanches are coming V Then there was mounting in hot haste. Some had captured wild horses, some had loaded themselves with fruit and game, some were sick, others lame, etc. But when the cry of "Indians' came thus Istar.lngly upon their ears, all else was forgotten. The horses were turned loose, the grapes and grain strown around, coats and hats were scattered in all directions i; the blind saw, the lame walked and the sick were cured. As one overlook another in the race for life, the same inspiration of terror became common feeling. till nearly one-sixth ofthe regiment was in full stampede! The more Clay cried, !" Halt, and defend yourselvesr' the faster they ran, and the less inclined were they to halt. The captain had jolly time of
 it, and many day afterwards, singular, half. f.comica, half-serious shadow would pass over some brother soldiers face when the capain would ask him what had be come of his gray mustang s'

ToMAroEs.-The following method of preparing tomatoes for the table. we are assured by one who has made the experi- ment, is superior to anything yet discover ed for the preparation of that excellent vegetable:
 Take good ripe tomatoes, GU, them Tn slices, and sprinkle over them finely pull verized white sugar. then add clare. wine sufficient to cover them. Tomatoes are sometimes prepared Tn this way with dilu. ted vinegar. but the claret wine imparts te them richer and more pleasant flavor more nearly resembling the strawberry than anything else.
