I walked nigh enough t?> him to have laid my hand upon his shoulder, and looked.him directly in the face, lie appeared to be about twenty ftve years of age, his board of two or three week's growth, and his whole face covered with what appeared to me to be blacking taken from the outside of a groasv pot. A more frightful human he ing I never beheld ; his whole countenance bespoke him to be a lit instrument for the business he hail been doing. Wishing to Bo.e the closing of the whole business, I remained upon the spot until sear tie twenty persons were left, bat the collin was still besi.le the grave, which had previously been dug. I now returned to mv tent, with my mind deeply inbued with the shocking scone I had been called to witness. From the Portsmouth (Vn.) Tmn?ciip*. National Expenditure?A Gloomy and Warning Picture. A Washington correspondent of the Alexandria Sentinel, [democratic] thus speaks of the Treasury fleecing which a very democratic Senate has inaugurated during the presiwit session : "That your readers may understand something of the enormous expenditures proposed tinder the plan of internal improvement introduced into the Senate during the present session, and reported on favor-.blv, in every enso bv the Committee on Commerce, 1 " ill state that, fifty six hills, of a purely local character, have been introduced, involving an appropriation of two millions six hundred and seventy eight thousand eighty live dollars and sixty-five cents!! Six hills if n general character, calling for an appropriation of 83l>0,000 have also been introduced, making a total of Gd bills, and appropriating >'3,038 085,0.") !!! The floodgates of the Treasury have been raised and in defiance of the warning and opposition of the St n mors and Representatives from Virginia and others, has been inaugurated that will I 1 - A - - ? ' * ^ ' uepieie mo treasury <>nts last dollar." This notion of the Senate, with itsdemoorratic majority, stands out in strange contrast with the opposition which, until now, the same party, as a unit have displayed against any system of internal improvement l?y tho Federal (iovernmcnt, if wo except the convenient doctrine which admitted that works of national importance might receive such aid. l>uf, with the other corruptions which have crept into the party, wo have now a practical repudiation of this fundamental idea in the democratic creed, and renounced hy the chief men of the party as uneijnivocallv as the old whig party h ivo surrendered their opinion as to the necessity or expo dienry of a national hank. Hut there is tin's difference: tho experiments of the latter were harmless, while no one can possibly foresee the results which tho former may produce. Already the expenditures of government have reached a startling amount? $7.%,G$4.400 a year ! $0,307,200 a month ! *1,452,020 a week !!! cvui,ut>u a ?i ?) $8 000 an hour ! ! !! ! *>144 a minute!!!!!! $2.40 a second !!!!!!! and this previous to tlio Rcheincs which are now matured for the depletion of the frc.mirv. and which, mmn iniiu r.ir>t\ " r ' J ej, cannot fail of bankrupting the nation. Tlio blindness of party will not, we believe, mdftfe the pe..j>!e, !ii whose lir.nds is the sovereign power to apply the corrective to close their 03-es to the peril in which this action of the Senate places the finances of the country. We aro glad to see that lite Virginia Senators opposed this infringement of a sound and safe principle, and we cannot think otherwise than fh it -he coo'-try at. large will condemn the Senate's action. Dkradphl Df.atii kkom a Ratti.ksn" vkk Rite.?On Wednesday afternoon t>f last week, Mrs. Rlakesly, wife ol t?eo. Rlakodv, residing about two miles from this village, was bitten by a rattlesnake, and after suffering untold pain from tbo effects of tbe bite, died on the following lay. The particulars of thm inehrrcholy death, are aa follows : On the day above mentioned Mrs. B , with her littlo son, went to tho woods, about a mile distant from her dwelling, for the purpose of gathering whortleberries, and white so engaged w'.tr* iifen on or near the ankle. She repaired to the house with nil basic, where remedies were applied and physicians sent for immediately. Drs. Dolton and May, of this village repaired to liar home upon the instant, and gave all the skill in their power to arrest the effects of the venom. Kvery effort was put forth by them to save the unfortunate woman, but the reptiles venetnous sting nnd effects could not he counteracted.

M. Dumas and his Wholesale Pilgiarism. While people have been admiring, savs the h>"Stoti Traveller, the literary feeundi- ' ? ty of the celebrated French romance wri- j j ter, M.

It appears ; that M. Dumas, unable to supply the do- j maud for his highly-spiced romances and ' plays, with wonderful shrewdness, mid ( scarcely less remarkable contempt for vulgar notions of literary honesty, employed hungry scribes, and paying them a Mipu- j luted price, sold their productions wish his j name as uulhoi, at a rust advance, of j course.

In 1818 the set was so large that \\"i ! its sailing prico was about ?400. l?ut the. i best of the story is that even tb- clerks < f Dumas did not, in many cases, write the j ( | books, but transcribed them, almost ver l batinr, from old and forgotten hooks.? j lire "Three Musketeers," mwl its sequel j j " Twentv Years After," and tho sequel to \\that sc?i"e', " he \ iscounl ?!< 1 ?ragcl?>,inc," j,( _ all were stolen front the Memoirs of M. | , t , j d'Artngnnn, a romantic biography, pub i I i: I l . i- . .? - iimim mi nvi. rnr ui>! io<:, \ coper, | ( Maryatt, the authord'Toi.r Cringle, se ios , Wi ! of little known French writers, the pule } win lished archives ufthe Flench I'oiiev, and j tor j even th? writing* of Chateaubriand and 1 ?r, i Thierry, were i???!?l!y appropriated. < 'id < . translations from other languagr - into the .yt French, were audaciously jno? 1 t?t-< ? 1 a-. now i . j version*.
