runaways, but was finally compelled to send a Mexican ahead to tell them the objects of his mission. At Rio Frio he handed his letters to (j!on. Portilla, and finding he could proceed no farther set about returning at once. Cannlizo was present, and as Kearney was starting he begged that ofiicer to allow two of his aids to accompany him back as far as a hacienda where he had left his trunlc and a young son of his in his flight!

After many abortive efforts upon the part of the \vhigs to bend John Tyler, it seems that he lias succeeded in turning the tables upon that hopeful Party. We give the story as we heard it. It seems that during the last winter or spring a county court in Mr. Tyler's county composed of several whig justices of the peace, wiih a view to mortify and humble Mr. Tyler for his political sin of turning democrat, appointed him overseer of a road, with the intention of enforcing the duties, or imposing the fine in such cases mado and provided in the statue. riM. _ i ... _i% t *: 'a _ i lie raw 01 ^ irgmia, 11 seems, specines no limited time for working on and repairing roads, but its terms declare they shall be put in order. Accordingly Mr. Tyler being notified of this new honor conferred, sat about to discharge his duty. To the delight of his patron justices and whig brethren, he was very soon seen riding through the neighborhood summoning thro hands to work. The juke was loo good to be lost, and many a whig countenance was lit up with smiles at the thought that the ex-President was at length harnessed with such a mortifying duty. Old John, however had too ottcn (lodged thou- leaders to bo headed by the small fry. He commenced bis labors as a faithful . public servant. The road being very undulating, he determined to cut down the 'hills, fill up the ravines, and make it a good level turnpike road. Day by day he plied himself to bis work. Mills, and dales attested his industry. The eflect of his diligence was not only visible on the road itself, but the neighboring farms began soon to o o n show that just in proportion as the road succeeded, fences, ditches, hedges, plowing, carting, and every other plantation duly was neglected. For this there was no remedy. The hands were all upon the road. The joke became in truth a serious matter. The smiles that lately illumed exery countenance, turned into ghastly dismay. A public meeting of the whole neighborhood was called. Headed by the august justices. they proceeded to the scene of operations and begged Mr. Tyler for God sake, for their sake (and perhaps for the sake of Ireland) to quit working on the road and let the hands go home. Mr. Tyler replied "thatthe law made it his duty to put the rood in good order and to keep it in such. There were yet a good many bad hills to be cut down and ravines to be filled; till that was done he felt it his bounden duty to work on. He should dislike to be presented to the grand jury for neglect." The justices promised to excuse him if he should be indicted beforethem. "fie preferred to place himself above the clemency of the court." The justices then begged him to n * - - /i? resign, ivir. xyier repue.u "inai ojjues were hard to obtain these times, and having no assurance that he should soon obtain another, he could not think, under the circumstances of resigning." It is said lie kept the hands at work upon the road, widening, excavating, fulling, gravelling, and MeAdaniising for nearly two months, making one of the finest roads in the Union. It is thought by many that the road will not need repair for the next century. Wonder if the whigs will make another effort to head him? Panther Fight.?From a l^ter dated Newton. Jasner countv. Arkansas. Julv fi. 9 I V ? ~ J "Mr. Samuel Hudson went into the woods about three miles from his house, accompanied by his son, ten or twelve years old, to cut a bee tree, and as he expected to find 'lots' of honey, he did not take his shooting iron with hiin^elieving he could not carry it and the honey too. When he got to the tree, he commenced chopping, his son standing eighty or an hundred steps from him, with a butcher knife in his hand?he had cut but a few moments when he heard a noise just above him in a hollow ; he lookup, and saw a huge panther walking leisurely, paying no attention to him. Determined not to let him pass thus, Hudson took lln a of ann ni* iita nn/1 i V* ??o it? o 5* "J' ow/llU VI V UIIU l&AlVJtV CVV XI. X UC panther stopped, looked up, saw Hudson, and made at him, without asking him if he was ready. Hudson turned to take the axe out of the tree to fight with ; but before he could get it and turn round again the panther was on him, and he was compelled to drop his axe and take jt " fist and sculL" u Its first effort was to take him by the throat, but throwing his head it caught him by the forehead and bit him severely.

He at last caught it so he f. could hold it with one hand, and called for his knife which h's son handed him and he soon despatched the monster, by stabbing it behind the shoulders. He then made his '%, way home, which he reached without assistance, very weak from the loss of blood. He was confined a few days, hut his wounds are doing vyell. He was sobn able to atP|s " tend to his business as usual. Is it any 1? '. ' . -S; fllfe I wonder we whip the Mexicans so badlyj when we have plenty of men who can whip a panther in a fair fight." (FOR THE ABBEVILLE BANNER.) PRAISEWORTHY. I cannot resist Mr. Editor, giving publicity to the following* instance of christian courtesy, and christian liberality. It is known to your readers, that the Rev. i II. A. C. Walker of the Methodist Church. i j agent for the American Bible Society, has ! been presenting the claims of that society ! to the different churches in this District, | during the last four or five weeks. He had made two appointments to preach at Lower Long Cane Seceder Church. At the iirst appointment very few attended, in conso! quence of severe rain, and it was thought j best to defer making an effort in behalf of j the Bible, until a subsequent time. Mr. | Walker preached however, and left an appointment for the first Sabbath in this month, and on that day a drenching rain prevented him from attending" at all. lie then addressed letters to Dr. Pressly, and two, or three, other prominent members of the church, asking them to bestir thein' s : selves in the matter?that lie had thirty dollars then in hand to constitute their Pastor. Mr, Hk.mimull, a life Director of the soci! ety, and that if they would raise one hundied and twenty more, the deed would be done. Dr. Pkessly presented the subject to the congregation on last sabbath, and witnessed the exhibition of so much zeal in regard to the matter, that he came to the Court House to day and paid over to the writer of this notice, in accordance with ! the instructions of Mr. Walkur, the re: quired amount?Onk hundrkd and twkntv dollars. In consequence of this instance of christian liberality, on the part of ; Cedar Spring, and Lower Long Cane, they nave not only constituted the Jtcv. w. Jt. Hemphill, a life Director of the Bible Society, and thereby told him in language not to he. misconstrued how much they love him, but the)r have gratified the feelings of ' Mr. Wat.kkii beyond measure, and most of all. they have performed an act, the results ! of which Eternity alone can fully develop.
