as this?”

“Because he is laid up with the rheu-
matism, sir, and then he knows I can pi-
lot you through as well as he can. - Sir.
Henry Clinton knows me, sir.”

“ Ah I does he—well, that is all right.
Can we bear way yet ?”

“ N o, sir,—-not within an hour-'—till
thetide runs ebb.”

‘-...‘?'I‘hat is bad—-—this gale keeps rising.
Is there no anchorage hereabouts ?”

“ No, sir, not within tweny miles about
where your anchor would hold.”

“ Then we mustgo through !”

“Yes, sir, as soon as the tide comes.
I would not risk it till then, for, if the
current should catch you on either side
bow, you’d go on the rocks, sure !” =

“That is true, young man. Let me
know the very earliest moment we can go
through.” ,

“Aye, aye, sir.”

And while the English commander
turned off to speak to one of his officers,
the patriot calmly went to the main gang-
way, and looked over the .side, as if
~ watching for the change of tide.

But what was passing in her heart then?
There were between three and four
hundred souls in that fated vessel. She
- had lost the only loved thing, besides her

father, on the earth, when Nathan Hale
was hung as a spy on that morning. She
was not thinking how many hearts would
be broken by her intended act; she was
not thinking of the mothers and sisters
and wives in England, who would soon
mourn for her deed--she was only think-
ing that soon she would join him in the
spirit land, and that dearly would his loss
be avenged. For her own life she cared
not, thought not—not even did she think
of that worshiping father, who sadly
paced his room, believing that she was
praying for patience to hear her loss.

Meantime, there were these three or
four hundred hearts heating with gladness
that they had got over a long and sicken-
ing voyage, and soon would be anchored
in front of the sheen of green, even
though the storm hovered over them.

At last, after looking towards the home

_-.

in which she was born—she knew it would I

be her last look-—she turned and went to
the commander and said-

“ The tide is slack, it changes suddenly
and, and we had better fill away at once.”

The commander gave the necessary
order to his lieutenant, and the next mo-
ment the main top-sail, which had been
lain aback, was braced around, the head
sheets eased away, and the vessel headed

' for the narrow channel, wheres. thousand
crafts have ere this laid their oaken bones.

As they approached the channel and
sawthe black rocks, the whirling eddies,
the taunting breakers, dashing high on
every hand, the officers and crew looked
out upon the danger. But so calm and
fearless seemedthe young pilot, that re-
assurance hsd a home in every heart—so
clear above the gale his bugle-like voice
sounded as he gave the orders, “Port,
steady so—lufi a point,” &c.

They were more than half through.-
The tumbling breakers of the “punch
bowl’~ and hog’s back had been passed ;a
few hundred fathoms more and they
would be safe from danger. Then one
quick glance towards heaven, and the dis-
guised girl cried :

‘.‘ Port—port——hird l”

The helmsman obeyed. The vessel
eased off before the wind, and flew on
with "accumulated speed, for a moment,
and then was no more i With a crash
that sent her tell spars tumbling over her
bows-—-and sent her crew reeling to the
deck——she brought up_on a" huge. rock
near the perpendicular shore to the right
Then, amid the rush of waters, the curses
of officers, and the shouts of frightened
men, was heard the shrill cry :

“ If any of you survive this wreck, go

‘ tell your British General that Nathan
Halo is avenged, and that by a. woman, too.
Sink-sink ! and may my curses go with
you all T” -

And before a hand could have reached
her, had they wished it, she leaped into
the eddying tide and ere she sank, the
proud frigate, with its shivered spars and
sails, its flag still flying, and its crew of
stout men, was goingdown into the cold
dark waters, and the murdered Nxrnxx
HALE was avenged l

And thus this brief sketch is closed.—
The guns of the sunken frigate rest be-
neath ..the tide of Hurl Gate; but the
memory of the Patriot Pilot lives in more
than one" breast yet.

Tun Horst. Tnxonmr AT Sr. 'LOUfS.—-
The circumstances which led to the sus-
picion that the burning of the Pacific ho-
tel at,St. Louis was clone to conceal a
robbery and murder, are very strong, as
reported in the St. Louis papers :

Five bodies were found in one room,
regularly arranged, burned with their
clothes on. Of one of them, only tne
head was burned, and that was nearly
severed from the body, and the clothes
were much marked with blood. This
body was identified as _tbat.of Ephraim
Doane, who came to the hotel on the pre-
vious night, having——it was ao.id—$4,000
in a belt on his person There was now no
ibclt nor money on his person. He had
retired to rest alone in another room.--—
of the other bodies some were indentified
and known to have occupied other rooms.
Doane had arrived in the city on Friday
evening, and taken a room in the City ho-
me). From thence Sanders 4 Taylor, or
.>.Sanders alias Taylor, had brought him,
paying carriage hire and treating freely
to the Pacific house. Taylor’s room was
nuber 15 Doane’s number was 14, on
the second Iloor of the building.

Every person on the second floor es-
.-caped but two, Lord and Doane. Doane’s
comm was bounded by two halls, the di-
suing room and Toylor’s room." It was
near entrances from Seventh street. Why
did not Donne go out, when others much
more remote from the door and halls,

' passed his door and left. safely? About
.one o’clock in the morning of the fire, the
-:-watchman of the Pacific Hotel met Tay-
';".orin the street, and in a conversation
c-:.ith him, Taylor stated that Doane had

‘ $4,000 in his room with him. At about

_ the time of the alarm of fire, Taylor went
to the Townsley house without boots on.
in the morning blood was found on the
mt which he had apparently turned
. down with his hand.

Dr. Daniel W. Strader, alessee of the
hotel, Charles Waldrop and W'm. Tor-
rence, employed by him, were also taken
into custody as a prudential measure and
in view of the possibilities of the case.—
in appeared in evidence that the flames
ran across the floor. of the large hall in
who sccom‘ story with a rapidity only ac-
«countcd for by the presence of some ma-
terials more than ordinarily inflamablc.
On the 24th ult., James F. Geary and
Elisha Rogers died from their injuries,
snaking a. total of 21 lives Lost.

The Democratic Convention

Lnconrron HAS Tarurrrmzn in the ofiice-
holders Convention which assumes to rep-
resent the Democracy of Connecticut.-
The Douglas men reported a resolution
endorsing President Buchanan and in his
Inaugural, and preserving a. significant
silence as to his course since the Inaugu-
ral was pronounced. This did not suit
the oflice-holders, they sent back the res-
olutions to the Committee, upon the dis-
tinct ground that Lecompton was ig-
nored. The Committee reported back
the resolutions with an addition endorsing
the President, “. his Inaugural -Address,
AND Massacre.” The amended resolution
passed, with some dissenting voices. And
so the Democracy of this old Common-
wealth are expected’ to vote for the whole
infamous scheme of ‘the President’s recent
message, in spite of popular sovereignty,
and in defiance of every principle of jus-
tice and right. We do not believe that
the lwmst Democrats of this State will
fulfil the expectation.

 

____.......,,______ .
The Bridgeport Farmer and the Black
Republicans.

The twistings and turniugs of a Pro-
Slavery ofiice-holder in Connecticut, af-
ford a ludicrous, as well as cdifying spec-
tacle to honest men. We do not know
where to find a. more perfect illustration
of this fact, than in the contortions of
our neighbor of, the Farmer. Holding
I the office of Collector of the port of
Bridgeport,—a craft whereby he makes
great gain,»-he feels in duty; bound,to
obey every mandate issuing from the Ad-
ministration which fills his pockets, and
therefore howls, raves, rants, lies just
as his masters bid, to earn the dollars
which his masters have to disburse.

The number of the weekly Farmer of
Feb. 26th illustrates all these peculiari-
ties 0f0!1.i' funny cotemporary. His first
leader is headed “ A Lying Statement,”
a most apt designation for nearly every-

thing which appecrsin hiscqlaq-.as_, And
the article is true to its title. It consists

of an garbled extract from . Se.cretary’
Stanton’s great speech in New York,"
with a deliberate falsification of its ten-
or, in order, possible, to pervert it to
the Lecompton side of the Kansas ques-
tion. In order that our readers, and the
readers of the Farmer may j.adg.e of the
truth of our assertion, we now offer that
if the Former will publish the whole of
Stanton’s speech in one of its weekly is-
sues, or, if necessary, dividing it into two
parts, in two consecutive issues of the
weekly Farmer, we will publish any Loco
Foco document of equal length .w_h_l,ch the
Former may designate ; the whole p.u:bi.i-
cation on both sides to be completed be-
fore the first Monday in April. We pre-
dict beforehand -that our neighbor will
refuse this fair ofier, for we know that he
dare not publish Stanton’s speech,

‘lilac next article which the Collector
indulges in is entitled “ I/Wzo did iri,” and
closes with the same phrase “lying state-
ments,” which ;lK1<.Z.icates the character of
the whole article. 1f,the Fav--me}; or any
of its readers, wishes -,t_o;l;.x_~,o;,;; why the
people of Kansas have not ,vo-Led‘, let
them read Gov. IVnlkcr’s ‘letter, and
Secretary Stanton’s speech ; both the
WOW of omcers appointed by James Bu-
°l““""1. fiild-life-long Democrats ; and it
will readily be appi"o§1e.uded that it was
James Buchanan “ who did at,” ,th_at is,
yvliose Administi-ation has made Kansas,
in his own language “ as much a Slave
State as South Carolina or Georgia.”

. week,”

Wehave then, -in the next column of
the Collector’s«paper, an article entitled
“Forcing it upon the Po:o_ole,” in Which
the valiant Receiver of federal dimes,
goes the whole beg for forcing ll P°“5t"
tution upon a people who abhor 113, and
denounces three-fourths of the citizens Of
Kansas as a “ hypocritical,” “ treasona-
b1e,” “ unprincipled,” “ screeching,” and
“screaming” “ faction,” because they do
not relish the operation. This article is
in the Collector’s best style, and we rec-

« ommend it for general circulation.

Next we have something about the
in which “freedom-
snrieking ministers,” and “cat’s paw
Christians” are solemnly rebuked by the

, pious Collector. This pious dodge, how-

ever, is so unnatural to our neighbor that
he feels his inability to sustain his part,
and involves the aid of Brother Collector
Osborne of the New Haven Register,
who does it up with considerable skill.

In the third editorial column, we find a
delectable paragraph about the “hypoc-
risy of the Black. Republicans,” which
the Collector evidently regards as his
trump card. He rings the charges upon
“hypocrites,” “fanatical clergyman,”
“traitors,” “black Republicans,” “black
. Republicans,” “_BL.a.cK Republicans.”-
He evidently regards this species of
blaekguardism as the highest style of ar-
gumentation. J arrnusox was a Repub-
lican, and a sturdy, life-long opponent of
Slavery. Therefore the Collector thinks
he Inust have been a “ biack” republican.
Mxmsox was a Republican, and was
among the most eloquent and earnest de-
nouncers of human bondage in the Con-
vention which framed the Constitution.-
The Farmer, of course, regards him as a
“ black” Republican. Wxsmucron tried
all his days to procure the abolition of
Slavery in Virginia, and, failing in this,
by his will, emancipated .all his own
slaves. The man who pockets the fede-
ral dollars in Bridgeport, of course con-
siders the Father of his Country a “b2l'}o’c”
Republican. Room: SHERMAN declared
that he would never cast a vote which
should recognize the idea that man could
havp property in man. The Farmer be-
lieves him to have been a “black” Re-
publican. DANIEL Wsssrm: declared
himself unalterably opposed to the fur-
ther extension of Slavery. Of course,
in the Collector's opinion, Webster was a
“black” Republican.
no'unced the idea that the Constitution
carried Slavery into the federal territo-
ries, too wild and absurd to be enter-
tained by a reasonable man, Mr. Bu-
chanan thinks differently, and Mr. Bu-
chanan’s tide-waiter in Bridgeport thinks
Clay was a “black” Republican. We
might extend the list, but we forbear.

Our comical eotemporary next takes
to tickling the Know Nothings, and
smacks his lips approvingly over some
blackguardism from the Stamfowl Advo-
cate about “ Gid. Welles, J o. Hawley,
Jim Babcock, Nel. White, Si. Carter,
and Tom Clarke.” VVe wish our neigh-
bor on the west joy of the felicitations _of
our neighbor on the east. ‘

Then, in editorial column fourth, un-
der the heading of “ T/Le Reasooz EV/til/,".
we have reserved up n. hashof stale lies
which have figured in the issues of the
Former some hundred times before, upon
the approachlof each Election, State or
National, close following which we have
tne following elegant morceziu :

“ The Black Republican press is -now
conducted by a miserable set of corrupt
turn-coat politicians and howling wire-
pullers—who have no more principle than
a set of shrieking hyenas. In fact they
resemble that class of animals more than
any other-——but are guilty of rather mean-
er and more contempt-lblc»tricks.”

And as a fit appendix to the whole,
we have a wretched thing entitfied
“W.\sHrNcror: A BORDER RUn~‘1xN”-—in
which the Collector endeavors to repre-
sent the Father 0 f his Country as appro-
ving cheating at the polls, ballot-box
stu fling, forged Election returns, a-nd im-
posing Constitutions on unwilling States

. by Federal bayonets !

The Struggle.
The history of our struggle of Free La-
bor ugainst the Slave Power has many
points of similarity with that of a great’
nation’s resistance to a formidble mvader
——that of Russia against Napoleon, for

example. In the earlier stages of the
conflict, the defending uI_'m|0S are 590“
ition after anoth-

falling back from one pos _
er, which are immediately 033011!-“ed _bY
their triumphantly advancing adversaries,
untill the whole country seems likely to
be abandoned and overrun. But the de-
fenders, though retreating, are constant-
ly, though silently, gathering up their
garrisons and receiving re-enforcements;
they are actually strengtheped by their
losses of positions, while their opponents
are weakened by the necessity of occupy-
ing or covering them ; until at length the

order of movement is reversed; the in-
bored and

vaders are palpably outnum
forced to recoil, while those who have so
long and weurily retreated become in
turn the assailants. Henceforth, the is-
sue of the contest is certain, and its end
rapidly attained.

The struggle with the Slave Power
has reached its turning point._ Kansas
is its Borodiuo, Lecompton its Moscow.
\’Vhether it shall beallowed to triumph
in fastening its detested imposture mo-
mentarily on a gallant, protesting people
or not, will make little difference. It IS
bound to be driven ignomimously from
the soil it has polluted, the territory it‘
has ravaged ; and its expulsion from Kau-
sas is likely to prove the knell of its sway
over the Union. There will still be col-
lisions, conflicts, mutations of fortune ;
but the hour which sees Slavery legally
and undeniably expelled from Kansas
marks the limit of its practical ascenden-
cy. It will struggle henceforth for Mis-
souri, for Maryland, for Kentuckynfor
Virginia ; no longer for fresh annexations
-—for the extension and consolidation of
its power.

It is true that we whohave been en-
gaged in this struggle for longer or short-
er periods in the past, can retard or has-
ten the final consummation we desxre, by
welcoming or repelling -those whom_the
march of events has at last brought into
practical accord with us. _ We ‘can, by
magnifying differences winch Time has
virtually effaced, by propouuding Shib-
boleths which have lost all practical sig-
nificance, by interposing Pharlsaic pre-
tensions and high-caste exclusions, post-
» pone the auspicious day wherein the inter-
csts and instincts of Free Labor shall
bear sway in the Whit _
Capitol ; but there is no need of this, and
none bi-it narrow and selfish reasons for
insisting on it.

On the contrary, it seems to us the
plain duty of Republicans to regard and
treat as brothers all who stand with us
in opposition to the Lecompton fraud-
to invite them to our councils and our .c0I_l-
fidence, while cheerfully asseuting to then’
prosecution of their share in.the common
enterprise under_their own banners and In
their own fashion—to_ act freely and faith-
fully in accordance with our own convic-

To the Public.---No. 3.

In opposition to our entire argument
we have the Report “ of the ‘physicians
of the place,” made to the “Board of
Health,” that the case of Mrs. Waterb\1-
ry was a case of Small Pox. \Ve know
notiprecisely who the -Board refer to by
the designation “the physicians of the
place,” but this is a point of no impor-
tance as our business is mainly with
their Report. This is so extraordinary
in the circumstances which gave it birth,
and its apparent purposes, that it is diffi-
cult to deal with the whole without some
pungency of remark.

Our first point is that conceding to
the supposed authors of this remarkable
document, the highest professional acu-
men, one of them refused to be present
when called, at a time when he might
have learned something of the.case, and
none of them actually were present to

practicable to make a reliable diagnosis,
consequently their report could not possi-
bly be based on evidence. They did in-
deed visit my patient after her'convales-
ccnce was fully established, but this was
after the evidence necessary to a reliable
professional opinion had passed away,
which of course rendered their opinion
entirely valueless. On the other hand,
the professional gentlemen who pro-
uounced an opposite opinion were pres-
ent at a time when the symptoms of the
case were present and fully developed,
and, after a careful examination, came to
the conclusion that my patient had not
the Small Pox. Here, indeed, we have
“Greek against Greek,” Allopathy
against Allopathy, in glorious confusion,
as it not unfrequently happens, with the
Homeopathic practitioner entirely out of
the ring, but then it should be remem-
bered that the moral weight of the latter
opinion must be immeasurably greater
than that of the former, because that
was formed in the absence of satisfactory
evidence.

Another fact, entirely fatal to this Re-
port as an expression of professional
opinion, is, that the authors of it are un-
derstood to have formed and freely an-
nounced the opinion that Mrs. W. had
the Small Pox, before they had seen her
at all. As it is generally conceded to be
absolutely necessary to an intelligent and
reliable diagnosis, to see and examine a
piitient at a time when the disease is fair-
ly developed, we are entirely at a loss to
account for their arriving at the conclu-
sion named, at so early a date. We are
not at all helped out of this difficulty on
the supposition of .0. ol_air_voyant examina-
tion, for though one of the gentlemen is
understood to have invoked, to some con-
siderable extent, the aid of Mesmer-
ism, we are not informed that he has ad-
vanced so far as to make clairvoyant ex-
aminations, and if he h_ad, _t_l_3.e supposition
would be destroyed by the fact that he
was not in possession of the requisite lock
of hair. Neither are we aided at all by
the supposition of the accuracy of the
al-ledged fact that one of the gentlemen
claims that he is to determine with.
infallible ce1'taipty, w-hether ,t-he ‘CZ-_r-.7.all
Pox is present or not by the smell, _f;o1'
though there are some _noiabl.B liistanccs

happen to be, it is -hur_d~ly ,a‘. ,s,upp,osa,b,le
case that his .Qlfacto;i'y is so perfect as to
enable him to smell it out half a. mile off.

There is another view of this matter
which I am exceedingly reluctant to
touch. Ihopc I mistake, but neverthe-
less the conviction forces itself upon my
mind that these gentlemeil did not seek
or desire facts the -basis of Re.-
port, but availed. themselves of a present
popular view of the case for a. purpose
wh«ch certainly never ought. to enter into
a grave professional report, made to a
Boord of Health. If they had desired
facts, not invite me to go
with them and listen an campus; of the
facts from the beginning. "It wo'uld,have'

Wreck off Iudontauk,

The ship John Milton, Cupt.Eph1'uimjIar«l".
lug supposed to be from San Francisco, but
last from Chincha Islands, loaded with guano,
l'or New Bcdford, was wrecked off Montaul:-,
L. I. on Saturday last, the 20th ult. She is a
total. wreck and completely broken up. Eight
dead bodies of oliicers_aud crew had been
found ; also the captain’s writing desk, and

of Edmund Taylor was on board of the above
ill fated vessel. He was returning from Cal-
ifornia. His father on hearing of the disaster
hastened to Montauk, and there found the

in Fulton Street.‘ Qiving to ‘the '
crowded state of the'Roo‘ms at tlfat place
