Terrible Encounter with n Boa COn-
sfricfors
From tn. Columbus l0J siatesman.l

From the Columbus (O) Statesman.l
One of the most thrilling incidents which has
ever come to our knowledge, occurred few days
since in a side show with Van AmbUrgh &
Co s menagerie, where two enormous snakes, an
anaconda and boa constructor, are on. exhibl-
ton Both Of the huge reptiles are kept IL one
case with glass top, opening at the side and
the keeper was engaged IN the act OF 75edng
them when the event occurred. The larger OF
the snakes the boa constructor, which IS some
thirty feet long and as large around the middle
as 2 man s thigh, had Just swallowed two rabbits
when the keeper introduced his arm and body
into the cage for the purpose Of reaching third
TO the anaconda at the opposite corner.
While in thi5 position the boa, not satisfied
with his share of the rations, made 4 spring
probably with the intention Of securing the ro-
manning rabbit, but Instead fastened his jaws
upon the keepers hand, and, with the rapldlty ot
lightning, threw three coils around the poor tsl-
low, thus rendering him entirely helpless. His
shouts of distress at once brought several men
to his assistance, and among them, fortunately,
was q welE-knOwn Snowman, named Townsend,
a maa Of great muscular power, and what was
of much more importance, one who had been ia
miiar with the habits Of these Eepulsivs mon
sters all his life, having owned some Of the
largest ones ever brought to this country.
The situation Of the keeper was now perilouS
in the extreme. The inst thing 10 be done was
to uueoil the snake from around him, but If in
attempting this the reptile should becOms in the
least degree angered, Ire would, in q second, con
tact his coils with power sufficient to crush
the life cut Of an ex- A single quick cqnvulsion
of the creature, and she keepers soul would be
in eternity This Townsend fully understood
so without attempting to disturb the b0a's hold
upon the keepers hand, he managed by power
ful, yet extremely cautious movements to uncoii
the snake without exciting him, after which by
the uaited exertions Of two strong men, the jaws
were prisd open and the man released IN com
piotely exhausted condition. The bite Of The
boa constructor is not poisonous, and, although
the bitten hand was immensely swollen the next
day. no serious results were apprehsaded- A

modifying order No. 5:
HEADQUARTERs ARMY OF VIRGINIA,
Near Cedar Mountain Aug IA, 1852 5
General Order No. 10.
The msj general commanding discovers with
great dissatisfaction that General Order No. 3,
requiring that the troops OF this command be
subsisted on the country in which their opera
tons are conducted, has either been entirely
misrepTesented or grossly abused By the officers
aud soldiers OF this command. Il IS to be dis
tinctly understood that neither officer or soldier
has any right whatever, under the provisions Of
that order, to enter the house. mOlest the person,
or disturb the property Of any citizen Whatso-
ever.
Whenever it IS necessary or convenient for
subsistence of our troops, provisions forage,
and such other articles as may be required viii
be taken possession of and used but every ssiz-
ure must be made solely by the order OF the
commanding oficsT of the troops there present,
and by the officer of the depar tnent through
which the issues are made. Any oficeTeOT sol
der WAC shall be found to have entered the
house or mOles'ed the property Of any citizen
will be severely punished Such acts Of piilsge
and outrage are disgTsceful to ths army, aud
have neither been contemplated nor authOrizs !
by any ofhcer whatsoever. The perpetrators OF
them, whether officers or soldiers, VIII be visited
with punishment which they win have reason
to remember, and any officer or soldier absent
from the limits Of his camp, found in any house
whatever, without written pass from his diyis-
ion or brigade commander, viii be considered
as pillager, and treated accordingly.
Army corps commanders will immediately
establish mounted patrols, under charge of com
missio-ei officers, which shall seour the Whole
country for i've miles around their camps at least
once day, and at different hours, to bring into
tdeir respective commands ali persons absent
without proper authority, or who ara engaged ia

This event occurred last evening. It was

the volunteers. The negroes, before insolent
anu supercillous, became more so as they were
elevated and instead of being treated kindly, a5
they had formerly been, the spirit Of dissatissc-
ton begotten by their gay uniforms and 6ns
airs, vented itself in sUHdry and divers kicks,
and cuffs and jeers, which kept both whites and
blacks in an unpleasant and continual fOment-
Now that the negroes are returned to their pisuta-
tiOns and 10 the workshops, where they belong,
aud the work Of ending the rebellion is recon-
mitted 70 the hands Of white men, we may hope
for better state Of feeling, not only in this
department, but throughout the country.

The Arrest of the RditoF OF the Dsbueue
Herald.


From the Dubuque Herald, August l5l
Rumors of the possession, by certain authori-
ties, of special orders to arrest Mr.. Mahony, had
reached our ears as esrly as two weeks ago
rumors from sources which we knew were re-
liable.
On Thursday morning, about balEpast three
O'Clock, the family of Mr. Mahony were aroused
by loud knocking at the door, when, after 1t
had been frequently repeated, his wife looked
out of the window to ascertain its obiect-Mr.
Mshony being in a sound sleep, having been
up the night before in attendance on a judicial
convention at Delhi. She was informed by the
person at the door that he was BIr. Gregory,
from Cedar Falls, who desired to see Mr.. Ma
hony at the Office on urgent business. She re-
piled that it must be very urgent business
which could call HIM up at that hour, and that
she did not believe he would come down. She
then awoke him, whereUpon he came to the
window, and asked his visitor what he wanted,
getting for an answer as before, that it was Ur-
gent business, which must be attended to.
BY this tine two or three men, armed with
muskets, became visible inside the yard, aud
from the back window others could be family
discerned.
Mr Mahony thinking that 3 mob had sur
rounded his house for the purpose Of infiicting
on him some personal indignity or injury, gave
one shot to awaken the neighbOrs, and with
drew his head, when P. Fl. Conger, deputy
United States marshal stepped forward and said
to him that he was there to arrest him, and thai.
he must come down quietly and open the door.
To this MIR. Mahony complied, telling him at
the time that he should have considered it more
the part of a gentleman had ne made known
the object of his errand at once, rather than by
strstagem to attempt to entrsp him.
Guarded by file Of soldiers, H. NJ. Hoxie,
United States marshal, and Mr.. Conger, con
Quoted him to the levee on board the steamer
Henderson, where we saw him about eight
o'clock He was arrested, we were informed,
on the strength of the general order lately
issued by the War Department, and by virtue
of a special order, which the marshal ssid he
possessed but would not exhibit He was cour-
teousy treated, and permitted to sec his friends,
of whom quite number paid him short visit.
The affair got noised around on the streets by
noon, producing great excitement.
The boat vas bound to Davenport, where, we
understand, were other political prisoners lying,
| awaiting transportation to Washington. One
of them is c. c. Mann, late Democratic candi-
ds for the Office Of treasurer and recorder Of
Polk county.
Mr.. Mshony was perfectly resigned to his
fate, and assured rs that net one word OF that
which be had written or spoken could he be IN
duced to retract. he was not guilty, and con
soled himself with that.

F." Our Union in It's broken state,
j. dieord TO the soul
And therefore we are digging he-er
To make the Union hole"

The digging proceeds until the spirit of Ma
poleon IS sunk deep into the earth when the
Southern Confsderacy deliberately steps over the
hole and captures Washington, atthe same time
ordering Columbia TO black his boots Colum-
bia would be utterly beIeft of hope at this turn
in affairs but fer the cheerful conduct of the
conservative chorus, who bid her rejoice that
the good old times have come again. Columbia
then remembers that she did Indeed black the
boots Of the Csnfederacy in the good old times,
aud it suddenly flashes upon her that the Union
is in truth restoTed-As 1T WAS. A brilliant
blue light is thrown upon the scene, and as the
curtain falls, the conservative chorus are seen in
the act Of taking all the credit TO themselves,
and Indignantly refusing to pay their war taxes
This affecting drama Of real life was played
entirely by gifted msckerels, my boy, the one
who acted Columbia being possessed Of voice
ss musical as that which sometimes comes from
between the teeth of a new saw.
When the last round of applause had sub
sided, and l was leaving the theater, | came
upon the dramatist, Captain William Brown,
who appeared 70 be waiting to hear what had
to say about the work. Says to him:
Well, my versatile Europides. your play re-
sembles the better dreams of ESchylus, mas
much as it is ell Greek to me"
All Z" said Viliian, hastily assuming the at
ttude in which Shakespeare generally appears in
bis pictures. " Do remind you forcibly Of the
bird of Avon Z"
"a Yes says I kindly you might easily be
taken for Shakespeare after dark"
As l turned to leave him, my boy, could not
help thinking how often the world will call
man second. so-and-so, long before he has
anything Ike commenced TO be the frat, even.
Yours, doubtngly,
