Letters of lMarque and Reprisals.-We heard it stated on Saturday last, says the Philadelphia Ledger, by an ietelligent of fleer of the United States Governmedt, that Mr. Polk was determined, in case of a war with Mexico, to make a terrible example of any foreigners not belonging to Mlexico, or parties to the war, who may attempt aggression upoD' American com inerce under color of letters of marqtre from the Mexican Government. He will give orders to the Naval commanders to treat all such adventurers as pirates, as-in reality they will be. It will be easy to uistingaish them by language, aud a few examples it is thought will be sufficient to put a stop to their cowardly, dishonest ad murderousoperations. The iexicans have but a very limited marine, and bave scarcely energy or enterprise sufficient to put ten privateers rfloat; but a war will afford a pretext to adventurers of other nations to commeace a system of robbery under letters of marque, and the best means we can. adopt to defend ourselves against them, will be to'pursue the course which it is said the President -has already marked Out, and punish them as pirates. -Courier, 22d inst.

Summer, Dear Sir-On Monday the 281h instant, as I nas rettirning from dinner, about 2 P. M., to. my schol, about 3 miles west of Pomaria, I heard a noise near the road, and on examination found it proceeded from a large black snake, commonly called a coach-whip. about 6feet long, which had a half grown rabbit by the head and was in the act-of swallowing it. Upon my approaching the snake, it disengaged it. self from the rabbit and glided off. I picked up a stone, and the snake stopping at the distance of forty yards from where I first diseovered it, I killed it with a single blow. As soon as I struck the snake, on lookina back I found the rabbit coming up, and it stopped immediately at the dead snake's head. I moved it away four or five yards with my foot, but it instantly returtied to the snake's head. I then moved the snake, and the rabbit still pursued it, and I left ir About 6 P. M., I returned to the place together with all my pupils. and the rabbit rem ained in the identical position in which I had left it. M~y son moved it again, bunt it immediately returned to its post at the *snake's head, and we left it a second time, still charmed by the continuing spells of the dead serpent. I returned to the spioi the next tnornting. but c~ould Gond no trace of the rabbit. Now, cat) any one tell what secret power lies hiddetn in the organuiza tion of a serpent which cauised this itnci dent ? It is wondrous strange, and well might p:.zzle more learned beads thatn mine. If the above possesses any interest it is at your service for publication. I am, very faithfully yours, - . GEo. M. FUL3MER. DREADFUt. OUTR4GE. Our community has ben thrown into a state of excitement, for some days past, by the perpetration of one of the must darinig outrages it has ever been our duty .to re cord. On Thursday morning last, at day light, three negroes con fined in the District Jail for safe keeping being desperate fel lows, having committed many outrages, effected their escape from the cell in which they were conafined, by breaking uhe pad lock-either by their own effortis, or through the aid of a female slave, who .was also a prisoner. and had the liberty of the pas sage. From at) examitnation) since had, it would appear that the Jailor, Mr. J. Bevif, had desired one of the prisoners to call him at an early hour in the morning,-in order that he might lock up the woman. This was accordingly dune, and no sooner had he opened the middle der, than the three desperadoes rushed upon him, one of them strikig him on the head a mortal blow with an iron hinge, which they had wrenchedl from the door of their cell, wvhich not felling him, another pushed him out of the waiy, and they all* rushed by. The woman did not attempt to escape. Mrs. Bevil, the wife of the Jailor-, hearing the noise. ran to the passage, and saw the negroes endeavor ing to open the front door of the Jail, which they soon effected, and made their escape. Mr. Bevil had followed the negroes as far as the door, but tutost probably unconscious ly, for as they passed out he fell to the floor, and expired in a few minutes afterwards. We are informed that lhe receivell no other injury than the Girst blow inflicted, wvhicb not fracturing the skull, most likely caused a concussion of the brain., After breaking from the cell, and be. fore their escape from the prison, we are informed they offered to release two other negroes who were in confinement, but they steadily-refused -to join them in their nefa rious .plans. These three desperados are now at large, although we, are hourly in expectation of hearingt of their recapture, as the most ac tive measures have been taken to this end. -C heraw Gazette, 19th~ inst ant. WASHrNGToN, Aug. 18. Fajal Affrazy.-We regret to state that Zebedee Kendall, son of tiot. Amos Hendali. wvas shot dowvn by Rufus Elliot, s on the Avenue, near .14th streot, this evening about 6 o'clock. Our informant states that he perceived the parties coming out of a ten pin sllay on 16th street ; harsh words passed. Ken dall raised a cane so strike Elliot; when the latter stepped back, presented a re volving pistol, which snapped, but.at the second attempt ie shot Kendall through the heart, who expired immediately. [Constitution Outrage.-A letter received from Pine ville, dated 20th inst., states thet, a short time since a negro was shot near the old six mile house, -under the following cir cumstances: * Three colored men, named Daniel Pegler, John Locklayer and - Moore, were coming up from Charleston, and, somewhere near the old six mile house, met a negro with a basket of pea ches. Pegler took twoo, and, ont the negro's complaining, was about putting them back, when the fellow said " is you have taken hut-two, you may keep them-" John Logklayer then came tip and took his hand full. The negro again complain ed, and said his master .would soon be there, and he expected him every moment; and went a short disiance -and put his basket down, and commenced grumbling -whereupon Locklayer ..shot hiin- Peg. lar ;otd him he was wrong in doing o,-' and if the-gun had been loaded-wit" buck shot -he might hive killed him Gocklay. or replied he did not care about -it, and if the negro's master said anybitigabout it he-would shoot him also. - A gentleman soon came tip, and the negro told him what had .hspened. hut he -passed on without ioterferenee. The writer 'urnish es the above information. that inquiry may be instttuted, the negro identified. and the perpetrator of the outrage brougbt to punisbnent.-Courier, 23d inst. Cotton.-Our- planters have conimenced picking out- Coton-one hale, the first this season, was offered in our market on Friday last, and brought $7 621 per cwt. Frnm all quarters acceunts reach us of serious in jury to the crops, by' the army worm, the rust, and the lice. Many are now begin ning to cry out "short crop," but we are still inclined to the opinmion that the general supply will be adequate to meet the de mand, although in particular sections there may be a great deficiency.- We were in formed, a few daye ag0, that throughout an extensive neghoorhond 'in the adjoining district of Marlborough, the lice are doing incalculable ijury to the Cotton-in fact, all that will be made, had already matured. In this District, much injury has been al ready effected, by the same voracious ene my. and the prospects are becoming worse and worse. The Corn crop is -fully as short, if not more so than we have heretofore represen ted it.' Provisions of all kinds- will be scarce and dear, taking it all-in all, the fu ture is clouded with a gloom which will re quire all our .energies to remove, that we may be once more gladdened with the sun shine of prosperity.-Cheraw Gazelle, 19th instant. We have a specimen of Sea-Island cotton raised on the plantation of It. J. Mays, Ev., of Madison county, present ed us by the Governor. and of the very fineet quality, as we are informed by good judges of the article. We are not in fotmed of the number of acre- Mr M. has planted, but this is a fair specimen of his crop, it cannot fail to command a high pr.ce. It estabishes the fat thai we have some of the best latnds in the coun nry for producitng the long staple, and we wondetr miore if it is not cultivated. We should tbe pleased to htear from Mr. Mays and others, a, to their expet-ience and success in raising the Sea lslanid Cotton and Tohacco. Since we have become a State. many personts arc looking to us with ntore than ordmnary itterest, atnd matny mote would emtigrate and settle among us w ere they better acquaited with our natnral resources atid the oppor tuniti-s for easily acquiring a competene). [ Tallahaasse Floridian 1 6th inst. The President of the United States has recognized Abtaham Zipcy Ogler, resi' dint at Boston, as Consul Getteral of the Sublime Porto for the U. St ates. Ttiis is the first C..nsul fm-om the Subli'me Porte who has been sent to mbis country.-Ibid. Sale.-WVe understand says the Abitng dotn Virginian, that a companly hams re cently succeeded in finding Salt Water in Mercer county-whether itn ahundance or not. we can't say. The mantia' for salt digging seems to be increasing- we hope with . success, though the probability is that there will be a greater amount of loss that gain. The Louisberg (Greenbrierj Chronicle says: "' We understand that our enterprisinig fellow citizett, F. Luddington, Esqj., has succeeded, to a- very encouraging extehb, in ebtaining salt water. T:Ihe wells from which it is procured, age of considerable depth, and we doubt not The ultimate suc cess of te enterprise. "From the sa-nme source, salt, nearly sutficietnt foir the use of this section of dountry, was made during the last war, end we cannot.eee no good reason why the amount of capital and enterprize now employed to develope more fully its re sources, should uot result in success." Slavery in Misstasippi--By a provision in the Constitution of Mississippi, the iti troduction of slaves into the State is pro hibited after the present year. This pro hibition extends not only to the introduc tion of slaves as merchandize, but seti hers within the State caninot import them for their owvn use. This state of things in duced the Legislature at its last session, to authorize the pelople- to vote on a prop ositiob to change this provision. It ex cites general attention ; the Newv Oileans Bullettn thinks thatthe popular'senimaent is agaias; any change.-ourier, 19th inet5. Skoes.-Haverilh sends out annually mne million one hundred and eighaty thou rand pairs, the cost of which would be betweenz six and seven hundrt-il thotnsand Jollars. The amotunt paid for mnanufac uring them is from $200,0.0. to $250,000. There are no less than five Churches iow in course of erection ir. the city. of Washington.* Mexican AaiTrs.-We make some ex-I tracts today from the official paper at I Washingtou. which will be found interest- 1 ing an exhibiting the progress of the two ( countries towards a state of war. Our I Goireinment seems determined, if it comps j to that, to have M1exico circled and shut I up like a rat in his hole. But we still i doubt -of actual war. Coupled with a 1 recommendation from the Mexican Ex ecutive to declare it, is a demand for a ! loan of $15,000.000, 9s the nreans of I cerrying it on. The one is probably quite necessary to the other; and how is Mexico to borrow the money? Deliuquent inithe payment of her interest-her finances in the utmost disorder-her commerce crip pled by harrassing duties-ber internal industry decayed by tyrannous and ca priceous exactions, and added to all this, a universal persuasion that the Govern ment has no stable support and may be upset at any moment, by faction, how is Mexico to get credit for the sinews of. war? It is said they talk of a forced loan. That is a perilous project. Santta -Ann'a the tictatorship by such horrowing, and he otuly exacted $5,000.000. But if the Mexican Government could succeed in raising this money, they are much more likely .to emplo' it, as Santa Anna did, to secure their own power, thau to invade Texas.- Mercury, 23d inst. The News.-The Britannia has made her shortest passage, and came yesterday as unexpectedly as the Cambria. Tiere is little political interest in the news. The annexation of Texas is treated very- cool ly--though it appears that a portion of the E-nglish politicians, looking to a Mexican war as the result. are disposed to make it what they call in Kentucky a fr'ee- figh" -where every body is at liberty to get his head broke. Such a result is antici pated by some on this side the Atlantic, add the possibility of it is undoubtedly an important element to be considered ic the management of the affair. The prospects of the harvest are just now the subject of most lively interest to the English press. Our extrets give a rather-gloomy picture. it Is p'robably over charged. The Lodton Economist discus. see the matter in a more hopeful spirit, and i while it admits that there is great and general axiety about the harvest, that the crops are generally backward and the weather broken and unsatisfactory, adds ohat G as yet, no dnaage of any impor tance has been received by the growing crops, which taken generally, and all kinds of produce. together, are as heavy and . luxuriant as in any year on record; and if the weather during the next month' should prove favorable, will be the most prodactive, all kinds of produce consider. ed, ever known." The Economist is cnnsider'ed the very highest authority in such matters.--Mercury, 22d inst. The President has issued his proclama tion raking kinown that an additional ur ticle to the Convention ror the surrender or criminals between the United States and Frantce has been concluded and sign ed at Washington, by their respective Plenipotentiaries. By virtue of this ariti cle, all persons charged with. robbe-y and buglary shall 4)e respectively delivered up to the country which claims them. Iron.-A most important discovery in the manufacture of iron has been2.made at Troy, N- Y. The west side of Lake Champlain abounds in magnetic ore fron which the new iron is' made in a rever batoiry furnace with only one heat. The result is a soft mrclleable iron, capable of being drawn into the smallest wires. It is obtained by a process of deoxidising the iron, for which process a patent has been secured by the inveitor. The cheapness atd facility with which iron can thtus be producedi :nake it one of the first inven tions of the age.. Through a gentleman from Camden, we have heard tmore in (detail the facts connected with the release ol Chat les Lewis, who was lately arrested in St klarys upon a charge of murder, commit ted itt Tennessee last year. Hie was brou'ght up by a .writ of hatbeas corpus before the Justices of the Inferior court of Canzdem county, and discharged by therr order, for want o'f evidence, there heing no testimony against him, hut the hare suspicion of the infortmer, who h-as thus been dtsappoin'ed in the expected, reward. We understand, also, that tthe atmount of fered by the Governor of Tlennessee :or his apprehension is three hundred, and not three thousand dolltars. as has been erronteoutdy stated Leotnoreon S. D'Ly on. Esti., acitd as counsel for the prisoner. -Savannah Georgian. 19th inst. Tobacco statistics.-ln the year 1843, eight mnillions one thousand four hundred and forty nine pounds one shilling and four pence were spentt by the people of Great Britain atnd Itreland itn tobacco! A tolerable round sum to end iti smoke. If the weed had beeni worked into pig tail, rather more than half am inch thick, it would have formed a line of 99.470 tmiles, long er~ough to go nearly five times round the world. -Echange piaper. BrngAlive.-We putlishedl under thshead last week an article from the Balt imore Sun, sho i ing otn the authtority of a sexton who, in the course of his min istrations to the dead, discovered eitheri three or five bodies,' (the editor did not recollect which) turned completely over on their side, in one the corpse lying breast downwards. We have also obser ved in other papers statementts of similar cases, known to have occurred in theirI respective localities. Such distressing f acts should arouse eomtmuntties to adopt some preventative -against their occur rence ; there can be but little doubt that not a city, town or village bur'ying placei has escaped cases of this kind, for wher ever steps have been taken to ascertaina the fact, the result appears to have proved that they~ have occurred. In France; the r subject has lately received official iuvesti gation. It is, we know, a subject that poople will take but little interest to, and yet il is one that should engage the atten titon of every man in the coutry. That the vital spark should return to its " frail tenem~ent of clay," after bturial, and give the unfortunate victim just time to move, ere it passes ofi' forever, is suffiient tn ABBEVILLE -: Female Academy. T H E Trustees of the Abbeville Female Ac. .U ademy beg leave to announe to-the public, that Ma.. JAMES L. LESLEY has. con sented to take ciarge of the Female School in Abbeville Village, for the year 1846. Mr. Lesley has, for the last ten yeats been engaged im the education of youth and long and livorably known in Abbeville District, as a competent and successful classical teacher. His character, capacity and qualifications as an instructor, are too well known and generally admitted tolrequire from us any encomium, to recommend him to the confidence and support of the community. All the usual branches of an English educa tion will be taught; also, the French, Latin and Greek .languages, together with Philosophy, Drawing, Mathematics, Astronomy,Chemistry, &c., &c. The Scholastic Year to consist of ten and a half months, commencing the first Monday of January next. The School will be upder the exclusive direction and control of Mr.Lesley. Good and cheap boarding mfay be had with private families in the Village and its vicinity.
