sides, made two-mastcd steamer steering

run up the American flag to the peak, and
it blew out we'll When about mile off,
and being forward Of our starboard beam,

fifteen minutes she fred shotted gun
The shot went over eur deck between the
fore and main masts. Hove the bark to-,
and the steamer sent boat alongside with
two officers, who asked the vessels name,
master, &c. We declined permitting them
to come on board, telling them they ex-
ceeded their orders. Asked them how they
came to fire into us when our flag was up.
They replied: Damn your flag, we want
to see your papers When about to leave,
they asked us if we wanted them to en-
ter any complaint on their log. We re-

BROWNSVILLE ATTACKED BIZ GUERR1LLAs.
Ne,c Orleans, Oct 10 Brownsville (Tex-
as)was attacked on the 22th ult, by band
of Mexican guerrillas, and five persons were
killed The Jail was broken open, and the
prisoners set free BY them. The most in
tense excitement prevailed, and most Of the
inhabitants fed to Matamoras for protec-
ton The Mexican authorities there were
appealed to for aid at Brownsville.
The guerrillas were headed by an outlaw,
named Cortinas, and had at least. 100 men
on horseback They rode into the city and
posted sentinels unmolested. General Car
avajal and other Mexicans arrived and per-
suaded the outlaws to leave
Fort Brown was g.rrisoned with Mexican
troops from Matamoras, and the citizens
formed patrol The whole guerrilla force
200 strong, then encamped near the city.
Here they were visited by the Mexican
General, and obtained from them promise
that they would not again modest Browns
vile; but the citizens expected another at
tack, Notwithstanding. An express had
been sent to Austin for troops, and the sher-
if came down to Point Isabel with the
mails for the steamer Arizona

Sir John Franklin.

It is a satisfaction to be, at last informed
definitely of the fate Of Sir John Franklin
and the men composing his crews. The
steamer Fox, Capt. McClintock, sent out
by Lady Franklin, has got back to England
with the full particulars, and many memo
rails of the il-starred expedition These
were found on the northwest coast Of King
Williams Island. A full record of the e.
vents that occurred in the expedition, dated
April 25th, 1848, was found, and this shows
that Sir John Franklin died June It'll,
1847, up to which time nine officers and
fifteen men had died. The survivors, 105
in number, were proceeding south to the
Great Fish River. The discovery confirms
the previous reports that have been received.
DR.. Rae ascertained from the Esquimaux,
in 1854, that party Of about forty white
men were on King Williams Island in
1850, and few months. later they found their
bodies not far from the Great Fish River
These were doubtless the last remnants OF
FrankIin's party, who. after the close Of
the record lately discovered, started south
ward and gradually wasted away and perish

DEPARTURE OF EMANCIpATED NEGRoFs-
Don t Want to Leave On Sunday last. a
crowd of not less than one thousand negroes
assembled on the basin to take leave of the
negroes belonging to the estate Of the late
Mrs. Frances b. Shackieford, Of Amherst
county, who, in accordance with the will of
the deceased, were about to depart BY way
of the canal, for free State. The whole
number set free was forty-four men women
and children, but only thirty seven left, the
balance preferring to remain in servitude in
Old Virginia rather than enjoy their free
dom elsewhere. Some of those who did
leave, were thrown on the boat by main
force, 50 much opposed were they to leaving,
and many expressed their determination Of
returning to Virginia as soon as an oppor-
tunity offered. Many were the well wishes
rendered the departing negroes BY the crowd
assembled, and when the boats started from
their wharves, the freed negroes struck up
Garry me back to Old Virginny." which
was joined in by one and all, and in tone
which indicated plainly that if left to their
own free will, they would gladly spend the
remainder Of their days in servitude in the
home Of their birth .-Lynch5~y Ia. } Re-

Federal Cont.

Since our last issue, the T. S. District
Court for the Western District Of Virginia.
(thcn sitting,} Judge 3 ". Broken
erough presiding. was engaged IL. tire trial
of a land case ia Bath county. The case
was taken up on Saturday ana closed on
on Thursday, after most tedious aad la
borious session.
1t was an action of trespass on the case,
instituted by the heirs Of Jasper Cope, Of
philadelphia, against Jno. P. Porter, Of
Bath. During the progress of the evidence
many delicate and difficult points OF law
were raised and discussed, that frequently
called for rulings from the Judge, which
we're given with that ciearncss and precis-
ion SO characteristic Of all the legal opinions
of this learned jurist- The case was ably
argued for two days-for Cope's heirs, as
the Plaintiff, by Col. Baldwin, and for Por-
ter, the Defendant, by W. Skeen, Esq, Of
Pocahontas, and Thos. J. Niche, Esq, Of
this place. It is seldom we have listened
to case which embraced wider scope of
legal reference, or involved nicer legal dis
t;nctiocs It was submitted to the jury Ca
Wednesday evening, who after brief reti-
racy, retained and asked his Homer, Judge
Brockenbrough, for Instructions on several
points of law. The Judge on Thursday
morning gave the required instructions in
clear and precise, yet brief manner, after
which the jury retired, and in few min
utes returned with verdict for the De-
PENDANT, Porter.
The e;ttiags of the Federal Court at
Staunson are always source Of congratc-
istion to our citizens, rs they generally
bring from different parts of the Western
portion of the State both strangers and
friends, who give additional life and an
imation to our usually lively city.
Judge Brockenbrough is one of those
specimens Of the gems homo who combines
ali the eleganeies Of the gentleman with
the more pouderous attributes necessary to
an eminent jurist. There is an unosten-
tatious dignity about him which wins the
esteem Of all and renders his society pleas
ant relief from the jars of the business
world, while it detracts nothing from the
high opinion universally entertained Of the
eminent abilities which he brings to grace
and adorn the honorable position he oc-
cupies.
We would be doing violence to justice
were we to close this hastily written no
tice of the session Of the Federal Court
just closed, and omit to notice the eficien-
cy, promptness and general acceptability of
the administration of Col. Martin, the Mar
shall, and his competent Deputy, Maj, J.
B. Watts.
