Atquestion naturally occurs on reading -these
certificates--If a man could be base enough to
perpetrate so horrible a crime, is it possible that
* he would, tininfiuenced by compunctions of con-.
‘ science, and knowing too that it must render him
forever an outcast from civilized society, make
‘a voluntary confession of his guilt ? Nevertheless.
that he did make such a confession there is no
manner of doubt. Again»-lf he did not commit
the crime, his boasting that he did commit it, is
i not less unaccountable ; for to say nothing ofthe
savage brutality ofsuch conduct, it must inevita-
bly excite suspicions unfavorable to his character,
and render him detestable in the eyes of all hon-
orable men.
VVe were the more shocked and surprised at
this disclosure, from a recollection of the fair
standing whic_h the intlividtial implicated in 'it
niaintained in the public estimation while running
a packet between this port and Chat-lesion, some
10 or 11 years ago. At that time his conduct
and reputation were, as far as we have ever heard,
without stigma or reproach. il.4t'. him answer
this damning charge if he can.
FROM THE PORTLAND GAZi‘«‘.'l‘-TE.
The cast of Lieut. l'lobart,'at which We hinted
in our last, came on for examination on Tuesday,
before Judge Parris -; and after a patient investi-
gation of the facts which occupied a “day and a
half, he was o‘-,rdered__.lo recognize for his»'.ippear-
since at the Circuit’Court of the States, next
to be holden at \Viscassct, in the sum of $3000
on the charge ofman-slaughter. The facts which
appeared in evidence, as we underst'and them,
. ‘are as follows : On Tuesday the 22d ult. in the
afternoon, the soldiers at Fort Preble, were order.
ed on fatigue duty, to discharge a vessel loaded
with wood for the Fort. M’Donald, the deceas.
ed, a soldier in the company, was intoxicated, and
declined going out to work, and made some dig.
turbaiice in the barrack; Lt. Hobart, of Major
Ilrooks’ corps, the officer of the day, went; in and
ordered him to go out to work; he was insotcm
and still refused ; the officer then struck him, as
he lay in his bunk, and aftet‘wards struck him sev-
eral times in his own room with a cane. The
man-then went down to the wharf to work. A
new (lliliCUlly_h,e,I‘e-_arose from the obstinacy of-
the soldier; the officer again flogged him with
his cane ; but not being able to overcome his in-
solence and perverseness, he ordered him to be
taken into the water and ducked ; he was docked
three times before he was brought out; after this
process he was sent to the black hole, and confi-
nedtliere till next day. \Vt-dnesday he was un-
well and in the Doctor's hands ; Tliursday he
“'35 0" dutfi and again drunk; Friday morning
he was on parade, and apparentl_v intoxicated, and
at 8 o'clock he was placed under guard, and so
kept until 1 o'clock, when he died ; during the
morning he made no complaints of pain, but ap-
peared halfdrunk and crazy. No serious l_)rui_¢,.
es were discovered on his body after death. The
witnesses generally agreed that the deceased was
8 hard drillkct‘, atid had been intoxicated most of
the time fpr the fortnight preceding his deatli.-—
The flogging by the oflicct‘ was unjustifiable and
illegal, and the facts in this affair cast no small de-
gree of blame upon the otlicers ofthe garrison,
ior the utiwartantable and continued-drunkenness
which this case developed. His death may be
ascribed to a combination of causes ; his drunk.
enness would not probably have carried him off
so soon, nor was the flogging alone soflicigm for
that purpose. But these, \‘l.ll'l the confinement

Miraculous Prcacrvation.—0n the 10th inst. a
young married man, in the vicinity of. Xenia,
Green county, after having dug 30 feet for water,
finally despaired of obtaining his object, resolved
to dig in another place ;_ unwilling, to lose his la-
bor he determined to raise the framing‘ he had
fixed for his safety while engaged in digging.—-
He descended the well for that purpose, and, af-
ter removing a small post, the whole gave way a-
bove him; the framing, together with a. large
quantity of earth from the sides of the well, came
down in a dreadful crash over the unfortunate
young man, who had no possible way of escape,
and expected every moment to be crushed to at-
oms. or stiffocated in the falling clays. An ac-
count of the melancholy circumstance was imme-
diately conveyed to Xenia, and flew with‘great
velocity through its vicinity ; and in a short time.
the village was evacuated of its male inhabitants,
and about 200 persons surrounded the mottth of
the deep, dreary repository ofthe body of that un-
fortunate man. - 4 i _ a‘
Can human imagination form a just conception
of the melancholy scene? Behold the anxiety of
about 200 persons I Realize,if you can, the ago-
nies of an affectionate wife, the heart-rending
grief of a tender mother, together with 3 numbcr
of affectionate relatives! "All hope of life was a-
bandoned, and the awful business was to be resu-
med of digging up his body from the deep pris-
on where it was firmly held, at least 30 feet un-
der ground, and 18 covered with earth. After
some time spent in devising the most expeditious
plan to effect the above purpose, the following
was adopted : Ropes were fastened round the
bodies of some young men, who put their lives
at stake, dcscendedthe dreary mansion, while
others held the rope to draw them up, should the
wall crumble or fall in. They hadnot proceed-
ed far in the business, before one of the young
‘men supposed he heard a voice from below; be
immediately applied his ear to the clay under
bisvfeet, and asserted with confidence’ he heard
his voice. This gave a gleam of hope to their
distressed, despondinghniiids, and inspired them
with ngw ardor to press on toward the object of
their pursuit.
After progresslngsome distance,a small hole 0-
pened through the clay, through which they could
converse, and to their great astonishment, he an-
swered them that he was unliurt and in good
‘he-alth—-that his body was closely confined in one
corner of the well, that the falling timber had
miraculously formed an arch over his head, the
well being completely filled all around his body
with timber atid clay! The preservation of his
‘life. now became an object of deep concern ;
great precaution was necessary, for fear the arch
above him should be disturbed, and let down the
remaining earth and destroy his life so wonder-
fully preserved.
After removingthe clay with care, until they
came to the timber over his head, they were a-
fraid to use an axe or even a saw ; and finally o-
pened a hole by boring with augurs, sufficiently
large to let his body tliro’, then let down ropes,
which be fastened around his body, by which, af-
ter a confinement of near six hours, he was rais-
ed from that terrific place ofincarceration. Shall
I attempt to describe the scene in hich now took
place? Icantiot. It baffles description. Ima-
gination in its highest stretch, falls infinitely be-
low a full relation of the joy which was evidently
manifested in this young man and his affection-
ate companion, who were once more permitted
lo take each other into their fond embraces, and
the joy of surrounding friends, who expected to
have perfoi med the last sad solemn office of com-
mitting his tnaiigled body to the grave.

.l$:fl'ect.s- of unreatraint.-d /2u.s-sion.--Iii the West-
ern part ofthe county of l'l8l11pSlill't:, a Mrs. H
was so enraged at her husband for gently cor-
recting a desperate and incorrigible 301‘. of hers,
(of whom she had the entire charge for several
years before she had a husband)-that she flew at
him with a desperation and fterccnéss surpassing
that of the voracious animals of the forest, but
was unable to satisfy the boiling ire that raiikled
in her bosom.‘ She then took a -knife for the pur-
pose of cutting her own throat--but she was dis-
covered and the fatal instrument was _taken from
her. She then took a rope, unperceived, flew to
the woods, but was pursued and brought back.--
She, however, watched an opportunity, atid was
gone.—-For some time search was made about
the house--but in vain. At length she was dis-
covered by her husbahd standing upon a preci-
pice, some distance from the house, adjustng the
rope about her neck, which was fastened to a limb
of a tree. On finding that she was seen, she in-
stantly swung off, but was soon cut down, and af-
ter considerable exertion, was resuscitated.—-
Passionate people should ever check the first im-
pulse ol anger, when reason will never fail to vol-
uoteer his services, and still the tumultuous ocean
within the breast.
LEXINGTON, (Ky) Aug. 20.
A gentleman from Springfield states, that on
the 8th inst. a most dreadful murder was com-
mitted in Washington county, by a man named
Rivers, 64 or 6.5 years of age, on the body of his
own son. It is stated that the old man had been
/often guilty of whipping his wife. On the eve-
ning above stated. his son, who resides near his
father, discovered the old man chasti:iing' his
inother--he ran into the house and threw out a
gun which he knew to be loaded, and feared his
father might use against him, (as he had done on
a former similar occasion) and then attempted to
rescue his mother. The father however had a
butcher knife, with which he gave the son eleven
81068. either of which would have proved mortal.
The old man was arrested, and we learn has been
condemned to be hung. .
Remarkable.-—A Leopard was killed on the 6th
of June, by John six, in Ohio county, Kentucky.

On Saturday evening last, the sloop ‘Mary of

On Saturday evening last, the sloop Mary, ‘Capt.
David Ufford, of Bridgeport, bound to this place,
was run foul of by an unknown vessel, and Capt.
Utford instantly killed, Mr. G. Han ley of this
village considerably injured, and the Mary left an
' unmanage-ably wreck, the boom, maiosall. quar-
ter-rail, and tuddt-r-head being carried away.-—
On board of the Mary were several ladies and
gentlemen, passengers ; she was struck near the
qtiarter. The vessels at the time ofthe occur-
rence were in Tappan bay, near Sing-Sing ; the
night was dark and the vtiiid high. So far, no
particular blame can attach to either; but when
the passengers on board the Mary entreated the
assistance of those who had so entiiely ‘disabled
them, declaring at the same time that they were
sinking. and that their captain was overboard.
then to coldly leave them to their fate, was most
barbarous. The Mary floated as far as Sing.
Sing, where the passengers‘ procured a small ves-
sel, and reached this in safety.

_ Titov, Sept. ll.
The drought in this vicinity has become ex-
tremely distressing._ \Ve hate not had rain e-
nough to wet the earth thoroughly since May
last. Many of the farmers in this county, and
other neighboring towns, are obliged to fodder
their cattle, the pastuies and the meadows being
completely parched up—-nearly all the smaller
streams having failed, many are obliged to drive
their stock several miles to find water. Last
night we had a copious rain.
A man named Gilbert Horton, aged about
45 years, of the town of'Motiroe, was brought to
Goshen jail on the 3 lst ult. charged with having
’committed a murder twenty years ago.
lo the year 1800, Mr. Amos Wood, living at
Butter-Hill, in the Highlands, died very suddenly
—-he was well in the evening, and in the morn-
ing was found dead. ‘We do not learn that any
suspicious of murcler was entertained at the time ;
but a report was prevalent, that Horton had been
intimate \\lll‘l. Mrs. \Vood for some time; and
soon after the death of Mr. VVood, Horton and
Mrs. VVood lived together as man and wife.
Sometime after, Mrs. VVood was apprehended
on suspicion of having murdered her husband.—-
Some suspicions were attached to Ilorton at the
time, but he has never been apprehended till now.
Mrs. Wood‘ was set at liberty, and has been dead
several years.
Horton was convicted of manslaughter 16 years
ago, and went to the state prison, but was pardon-
ed at the solicitations of his mother,when his term
had about half expired; and about 5 or 6 years
ago, he was apprehended in Monroe for robbing
a store in New-Jersey. _-HOl‘l_0ll then appeared
terrified at the idea of going to the state prison,
and (as the story goes, but this he now _denies,)4
he called two men of his acquaintance aside, and
told them he had been once to the state prison,
and that he had rather be hung.-tlian go there a-
gain, and at the same time asserted that he pois-
oned 'Wood, and wished them to go before a ma-'
gistrate, qualify to his declaration, and have him
apprehended for murder ; this was, however, de-
clined. It is reported that he got clear ofthe rob-
bery by turning states’ evidence, and exposing
his accomplices, but this he denies.
It seems that VVood left a son, who had been
absent several years; and on his return ‘lately,
heard of Horton’s confession, and caused him to
be apprehended ; but he made his escape. Mr.
Wood, however, resolutely pursued him, and af-
ter faitlifully, traversiiig the mountains about a
week, he discovered him near the mouth of his
subterraneous hiding place among the rocks.-
He was taken by surprise, and had no opportuni-
ty of defending himself, although armed with a
'swot'tl cane and knife- Mr. VVood presented a
gun to his bre-ast,threat_cning to blow him through
if he made any resitarice, whilst another person
in company secured his hands. »

would seem, that great preparations had been
made to attack Carthagena and St. Martha, which
were the ’ only places of consequence in possess-3
ion of the Royalists in the Provinc,e.ol' Santa Fe.
The effective troops of the Patriots are saifltlito
amount to 4000 regulars and 5000 militia. '
By some accounts, Cartliagena is_reprensentetl_
as having a stifiicient force to repel?‘ the Patriots,
should they attack it; that they have 1600 regu-
lar troops, and 300jartillery ; that the militia and
volunteer corps may be estimated at 2000 ; that
the tviirks and barracks are in good order , and
that they, have abundance of ammunition, and
provisions sufficient for a six months siege. On
the other hand, it is affirmed that the town is in
an exceeding bad state-—tbat the inhabitants had
refused taking up arms to defend it—-and that the
Spanish force, which consisted only of 500 men,
had with great difficulty prevented the people
from throwing open the gates.
However contradictory the accounts relative
to the strength of Carthagena, they all agree that
great precaution has been made for-a vigorous
resistance. The Governor, (Gen. Torres) has
ordered all the inhabitants, who could not-lay up
six months ‘provisions, to leave the city ; in con-
sequence of which, the populatioohas been redu-
ced from 12,000 to 5,800. All the houses built
on an island east-of the city, have been burnt, to
prevent any shelter to the enemy, should they ap-
approach. The building formerly occupied by
the inquisition, is made the depot for provisions.
St. Jago, dc la Vega, July 15.
A schr. arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, ’ on
the 10th inst. in 5 daysfrom Carthagena, having
on board the Viceroy of Santa Fee, four Friars,
c besides many inhabitants of Carthagena. A brig
also sailed from that place in company with the
sclir. with passengers. The greatest alarm pre-
vailed at Carthagena, in consequence of Bolivar’s
troops (amotinting to 12,000 men,) being in pos-
session of the whole of the interior. Such was
the consternation felt at that place. that the Gov-
ernor had ordered every person to‘ leave Cartha-
gena who did not supply himself vtith six months
provisions.
Bolivar,-it is said, lately took possession of all
the posts on the Magdalena. The intlependent
cruizers under Brion have blockatled Santa Mar-

of Carrupano, and had risen upon the officers,
seized on the Danish vessel, and made sail for
this place 5 they brought with them a coiisidera-
ble quantity of arms besides their own, equip-
ments and ammunition, and a good stock of pro-
visions. After they had embarked, however, the
weather became calnnand at break of day yester-

fort of Campano, and six armed flecheras moved
out to attack the Danis_h.bi'ig.» The action be-
tween the brig and the flecheras was very severe
and desperate ; but they defeated the cfibrts of
both fort and fleclteras, having only one man kil-
led and ll wounded; the‘ loss of the tlecheras
not known. The breeze sprung up soon after,
and they made sail as above mentionetl. These
men say, that there was a common understanding
among the troops throughout. the country, and
that other risings were expected at the same
time.
The troops will ernbai-k in a few days to join
Montillas’ corps. to carry on the expostulation

made ttn attack upon a division of Bolivat-'5 army ;

La Torre was completely de.feated—-this took
place during an armistice that had been agreed
tipon for 30 days. Murillo had demanded 2000
men to take up arms against the enemy.

to either property or lives, as there are scarcely
two persons of the same sentiments, or can tell
who governs. Dorigo is now governor of Buc-
nos Ayres, and has about 3000 troops under him ;
but Alvear, with about 1000 disaffected officers
and soldiers, was encamped before the, place :
his ostensible object was to be placed attthejbead
of the military establishment at Buénos Ayres.
On the 10th July Dorego sent out a force against-
Alvear, but it is reported they weredefeatcd.-—
The people," anticipating Alvear’s attack on the
town, had suspended all business for three weeks...
A letter from Montevideo of July 14th, says—
‘ We are sorry in having to state, that the once
