HUNTING SNIPE AND BAGGEp THREE OAR
KIEs.--A friend Of ours, who frequently anu
ses himself with his gun in the swamp in the
rear Of his place, was thus engaged a few days
since, when be suddenly came upon the cnmp
OF three runaway negroes, all armed to the
teeth with pistols, bowie knifes and gun. At
nrst they showed fight, but our hunter, who
is q tall and rather dangerous looking man in
the woods, we should think, drew bead upon
them, and told them if they didn't march
along in front Of him he would bring some of
them to the ground. They concluded to do
as he babe them. They are advertised in to-
days paper as the property of Mr.. Michel,
Of Terrebonne, who certainly ought to reward
the gentleman handsomely for capturing them.

Hayti, having or board, as passengers.
81 Tree persons of color, who are emf
grating from this State TO try their
chances in Hayti. These people are all
from the Opelousas parishes, and all
cu!tivators-wcl verscd in farming. and
in all the mechanical arts connected
with a farm. Among them are brick
makers, blacksmithS, wheel wrights.
carpenters, &c. Some OF them are pro-
ficient weavers, vino have long been en-
ployedmaking the stuff called Attakapas
cottonade, so favorably known in the
market. They take along with them tie
necessary machinery for that trade, and
all sorts of agricultural and mechanical
implements.
These 81 persons-2i adults and 81
children and youths-composc fourteen
families, or rather households. for they
are all related, and the 81 may be called
one family. They are ali in easy cir
cumstances, some even rich, one family
being worth as much as $50, 900. They
were all land owners in this State. and
have sold out their property with the in
tention Of investing their capital in
Hayti.
Of the various expeditions that have
lett New Orleans for Hayti, this is GER
tainly the most important. from the pc
cullar class of emigrants and the fact of
their taking away with them a conside-
rable amount of capital. President
Geffrard's efforts 10 introduce civiliza-
ton and r~e-establiSh order in the Queen
OF the Antilles have proved thus far
successful, if we can Judge from the
of the Haytian papers and from
verbal reports of those who have
visited the Island, and nothing
could be more favorable I the ultimate
of his plans than the valuable ac-
QUESTION Of such immigrants as those
who leave on the Laurel. He has found
that the real basis fanny well organ
lzed society is labor, and that labor is
great vital condition of prosperity
his people, by reason of the very
aversion they have for it. The Haytian
Government has passed stringent laws
TO prevent idleness, and has even adopt
coersive measures for the protection
Of industry, but the best argument they
could use is certainly the example set by
men of their own race, who, under the
beneficial Influences of the whites, have
grown up in industrious habits and con-
sentative principles. If anything can
'ver be done for Hayti, these are GER
AMY the people to do it.-Pioayume

ALFRED MUNRoE & Co.-This House
has come out as triumphantly as could be
wished, under the imputation Of being con.
nected with abolitionism. The facts are now
pretty generally known. 1t appears that Mr..
Rathbun, one of the partners in the N. York
house but owns no interest in the New Or.
leans house, signed the call for Mr.. Opdyke
to run for Mayor Gas he states in a letter to
the Day Book not because of his political
principles, but for the purpose of defeating
wood, who was not the regular Democratic
candidate. He voted for Havemeyer, as did
the balance OF the establishment, save one or
two, who supported Wood. This is certainly
sufficient. Mr.. ALFRED MuNRoE has been a

Mr., Sherman said the Senate amendment
providing for the printing Of the Post Office
blanks by contract wa one which ought to
be adopted in an independent law, and all
the members Of the Committee on Ways
and Means were in favor Of such Liquidation
but they were opposed 10 its incorporation
in an appropriation bill; to carry out an ex-
listing law no new legislation should be in-
serted therein. Such q practice had been
growing up for a few years past and the

therefore, recommend that the House now
concur in the amendment
Mr.. Phelps said that Mr.. Sherman had
correctly stated the opinion of the Commit
tee, but he differed from it's action, and was
willing to concur in the amendment under

80 would be.
Mr.. Cobb replied that was worth saving.
He also advocated the abolition ofthe frank

not equal to the evils.
MIR. Stanton favored the striking out Of

Of the iranking privilege, and relative to

accidentally passing, slipped up and seized
his arm, when Mr.. Edmondson struck at
Mr.. Hickman with his left hand, knocking
of his hat, but doing him no injury. The
whole affair was instantaneous, and seemed
to surprise Mr.. Hickman. Mr.. Brecken-
ridge, who came up, took him away, and
the scene ended.
The alleged provocation for this attack
was an insulting reflection on Virginia, con,
tanned in a recent speech of Mr.. Hickman,
in which he charged that seventeen men and
a COW had frightened the State.
Governor Robinson, of Kansas, appeared
before the Harper's Ferry COMMITTEES, and
will conclude his evidence tomorrow. He
had not seen John Brown for over two
years, and had only a limited intercourse
with him. He had no knowledge of any
sort OF his raid into Virginia, until the event
was published.
