We heard a very high soprano voice
warbling its duloet strains last evening,
and, as we listened intently, We made
out that they were set to thesfollowing
words
In a summe night l take my fight,
To where the ladies repose,
And while they're slumbering sweet and
l bite them on the nose Sound,
The warm red blood hat tints their
To me is precious dear, Icheeks,
For it's my delight to buzz and bite,
In this season of the year.

Till the folks all go to bed,
Then my bugle l blow, aud down l 60

And laugh'to hear them swear,
For It's my delight to buzz and bite,

TON CoRwiM's WRIT is said that
Tom Corwin was once trying a case in
which he was opposed to tho late Mr.
Writ, when the latter tried a somewhat
novel mode of d~iscrediting the evidence
Of Corwin's chief witness, on whose ac-
curacy and discrimination every thing
turned, by showing that he was a person
of astonishing credulity.
Wirt-"Havc you read Robinson
Crusoe ?"
Witness-"Yes."
Wirt--"Do you believe it all
Witness-"Well. yes, squire, l don't
know but what | do"
The same answer was returned as tt
Gulliver's travels and several Other
works of fiction, Corwin all the while
6dgeting and getting hot. Presently
Mr. Writ considering the man entirely
aattened out, resigned him with a blanc
smile. Mr.. Corwin said he had only
one question to ask, and put it.
Corwiu--"Have you read Wirt's Life
of Patrick Henry
Witness--"Yes."
Corwiu--"Do you believe it all
Witness-"Why no squire, | can

THE OccAQUAN (VAr) TROUBLES -
The following letter published by the
Richmond Dispatch, of the 9th ult.,
give somewhat fuller details of the diff
fculty in Virginia touching which we
have had telegraphic dispatches.
OccoQn0a, July 25,-Our village
has been in q Juror of excitement for
the last two days, owing to information
having been received by the leaders of
Republican party that there was an
armed force coming here on Friday
next, for the purpose of destroying their
pole. A meeting was held in Brents.
vile and Fauquier on Saturday last,
when it was determined that some three
hundred men should be sent here to
take the pole down, Capt. Thornton,
n Of u magistrates and a captain Of
militia resigned for the purpose of tax.
ing command Of the force. They called
on Gen. Hutton, our commanding off.
Ger and county attorney, to know whe,
Their they could get arms. He replied
that he could not loan them for such a
purpose, but would say nothing if they
chose to take them. This gave them
encouragement and they notified the
Republicans that they were coming and
the pole must come down. The folks
coming in from the upper part of the
county kept adding to the news, and ap-
peared to be very anxious to know whe-
Their the Republicans will fight.
On Monday night the Republicans
held a meeting and dispatched parties
70 Alexandria aud Washington, and it
was reported on Tuesday that they had
sent up for ammunition, and had deter
mined to build a fort around the pole
and protect it at all hazards. This re.
port only added to the excitement, and
it was supposed they could muster but
twenty men, and it would appear like
wasting their lives to oppose SO many
They commenced fixing their guns, &c,
and sent a dispatch to Gov. Letcher that
they were threatened by an armed force
and that they looked to him for protec.
ton but if he did not protect them
they would take up arms and protect
themselves, The Governor answered
them by saying that he would immedi-
ately order Gen. Hutton here with bis
regiment to protect them. This will be
bad news to the General, as he has said
that the pole should come down at the
risk of his lie. When the Republican,
received the news last night there wal
great rejoicing, They fred a salute
in honor Of the tidings, which wer,
brought by q messenger dispatched BY
them We are now waiting to hea.
from Gen. Hutton, aud suppose he vii
be here this morning to see about tn
affair, There has been sixty volunteer
from the Republicans ito die by tn
pole" Some Of their friends have ad
vised them TO give up if Hutton doe
not come, and they swear they will moi
There is later note dated yesterda
evening, stating hat Gen, Hutton ha
resigned his position in the militia.
