Soon niter ho came there the Indi-ins became troublesome. They mule homes nnd various nihor things, nml killed :i mimber of pt rsoni in our nei.diborhond. When I wna between 11 and 12 years old, I think il wan in Ihe full of irrtH, I wan taken pi inotier wiih my brother John, who wan almtit IS months older than I. Tho rin uriisinncen nre nn follown: On Saturday eve. ning wo wero out with an older brother, nnd enme home iie in iho evening; one of oh had lost a hat, and John nnd I went back the next day to look for il. We found the hnl and aat down on a log and were cracking nutn. Alier a hort time w saw two men corning down from the direction of the house; from their dr'n we took them h- be two of our neighbors, James I'erdile nnd J. Lliisfell. Wo paid but little attention to 'In ni till they canie quite near ua. Toescnpe by llipht wn now impossible, hnd we been disposed to try it. We Fat still until tbey came up to ua. One of them said 44 h'wlo broker; " mv brother then iitd;ed them if ihey wero Indians, nnd they answeied in ibn nllir-miitive. and snij wo muat gn with them. ( Ine of them had n blue bnckakin, whi h be guvo my brother to carry, nnd will t further ceremony, wo took up (Inline of march for Iho wilderness; not knowing wheth er we shntild ever return to tho cheerful home we had left; nnd nut having much love for our commanding f llh em. of course wo .iby( d tn irtial orders rath- r tardily. Oun of the Indiann walked nboitt ten nleps before, nnd the olber about m fame di-tnnco behind us. Aller traveling some distat.ee we halted in a deep hoi low and sat down. They took out their knives and whet them, and talked M-mo in ihe Indian lonpuo. which wo roiild not uiiih-rMnhil. I tidd my brother ibat 1 Ibought they were going In (fill ns, and I believe bethought no too, for lie began to la'k to them, and told tlu-m that his father was ctofs to him and mnde him woik hard, in d tbat he did not bk b ird work, l hat bo would rather bo n hunter and live in I ho wooda. Thin seemed lo plcno them, for they put up iheir Kiiiven ami laiitra more lively mid pleasiintly to nn. We returned tlm snnio famidiirily, and manv (pieaiions passed between us; nil parties, were very inquisitive. I hey asked my blether which way homo was, mid ho told llu m the contrary w ay every lime they naked him, nlihough he knew the wny ve'ry well. Thin wrtild ninkn tin in Inugh ; ibey thetight we were lont and ibat we knew tin better. 'I hey conducted us over Short creek bilk in nenrch of horsen, but found none, fo we continued on foot. Niht came on, nfd we bulled in n low hollow, about Ihree miles from Carpenter's fort, and nbout four from Ihe plncti w hern they brat took Us, Our route bring somewhat circuitous nnd lull of nicagn, wo made headway hut slowly. An night begun to close around us, I became I'lelbd; my brother eiicouraucd mo by whispering to mo that we would kill Ihe Indians tlril nifdit. Alter Ihey hnd sehcted the placw of-encampment, olio id' them scouted round the ramp, wbiln Ihe other slunk fire, which wan done hy mopping the tfiucb-holo of the gun ami II ishiiu? powder in the pan. Alter ihe Indinu got the tii e kindled, he re-primed Ihe gnu, nnd went to an old stump lo get some d-y lindcr wo ii tor lire; nnl While he was thus employed, my tiioiher John took iho gun, cocked it, and was about to shout tie Indian ; but I wns nhinned, fearing the other it i-bt be close bv and be nbte to overpower us; so 1 remonsiinied nvniml his idiooling nod took bold of (he uuii mtd prevented ibe shot. I, nt the nine time, neggeii tiun to wait nil night ami I would help him to kill them boih. The Indian that hnd taken the scout, came bnck about dnik. We took tair suppers, Inlkeit nomn lime, nnd went to bed on the nuked ground to iry io rest, nmi nlialy out Iho hent mode id nltnck. They put nn between llinrn that ihey might be the bet ter nble to giiaid us. After a while one of ihe Indians, supposing wo were asleep, got up and -trelehed him-sell down on the other nido of iho file, nnd soon be. gan o anore. .lonn, who hud heen watching every notion, found ihey were sound asleep, and whispered to mo u gei op. vt e got up as ciirelnliy as poaail.lo John took ihe gun which the Indian struck firo with. cocked il nnd placed it in tho direction of Iho bend ol one ol Ihe Indiana; m thnn took a tomahawk and drew It over Ihe head of the other. I nnllrd ihe triu ger, nod he struck at the an tno instant ; the blow billing too fnr hick en the neck only stunned the Indian. He attempted to spring tn bin loot, utlerit g most hideous yells. Although in y hrother repeated the blown wiUi j some effect, iho conflict became tenible and nomewlmt diuibilnl. The Indian, however, was forced to yield to ihe blnwn he received upon his head, ami, in a abort time be lay qtiiot and still at our feet. After we were satisfied that they were both dead, nnd fearing ihere wero othem close by. wo hurried oil", nnd look nothing with us but ihe gun I shot with. Wo took i ur course tnwaidn Iho river, nnd in nbout three-quarters of n mile wo found a pa'h which led to Cnrpenter's fort. iiv nroiiicr n em nung up m hat, that we might know on our return where to lurn i tl l find our camp. We got to the lort n litlln holme daybreak. Wo relntrd our adventure, and a small party went back wiih my hrother, and found the Indian that wns tomahawked ; the other had crawled away a short distance with the gun. A skeleton and n gun were found, some timo niter, near Ihe place where wo hnd encninped.

DowNtNcvn.t.E, Statu op Maink, Saturday, September 18, I8.r2. Mr. Calks &.Skaton : My dear obi friends, I wih I hnd better news to write to you. I'm pesky afraid j (ineral Scott is coming in. And, nrter ull, I don't see ' why I should feel so much ntrnid of it, especially on my own account, for I don't nposo hn 's a very bad man. Hut I feel bad for Uncle JoBhtin. His whole heart is bound up in tho post nfiice, and if ho thould lono it, I 'in afraid it would almost be thn death of hint. Ho 'shad it now more than twenty yours, nnd he's more fond of it because it was given to him by dear old Ginernl Jackson. Ho loves it now like one of his own family, and 1 think it would be tho hardest ono of the family to part with, unless 'tis Aunt Kezinh. If ho were to louonry one of 'em, that is Aunt Keziah or tho pent ofUce, I know it would break his heart. And that's what makes mo feel so bad at ihe turn things linn took down this wny in favor ol Ginernl Scott. If tiny wny could bo contrived to keep Uncle Joahua in the post-oflico, I would n't enro a snap if Ginernl Scott diil conio in. And I paean theio's n good denl of the same sort of feel in' amongst n good many of I he Democracy. I 'II just givo you n sample of it. There 's Cousin Sargent Joel, ho can't live without hurrahing for somebody nn much as two or three limes a day. He got in a habit of it in old Hickory's time, and ho couldn't never leave it oil' since. Two or Ihree weeks ago Undo Joshua nnd I was in the barn, planning n little nbout Rotting out iho voters to tho election, when all to once we heard somebody back of the bnrn holler with oil his might " Hurrah lor Ginernl Sentl." We both started and run round the corner ol the barn oh fast oh wo could, and who ahoulil we aeo there but Counin Sargent Joe), standing on a slump, swinging his lint all alone, and hollering nt the very lop of his voice, " Hurrnli for Ginernl Scott." Uncle Joshua looked ns cross ua thunder, and Cousin Joel colorod a little us soon ns ho see us, but ho swung bin hut again, and aung out onco more, 44 Hurrah for Ginernl Scnti, nnd I don't enro who beam it." "What's that you iny?" said Uncle Jnshiin. "1 say, hurrah for Ginornl Scott, and I don't core who lieum il," says Cousin Joel, putting on his hnt and jumping oil' the stump. 14 Well, this is a pretty piece of business, said Uncle Joshua, " selling such examples as thin in tint neigh-bora. There's many a word spoke iujeest that's lurried inio nrnent before its done with; nnd you ought to be caiofiil how you set such hurrahn agoin. H you once geiVm started, there's no knowing what'll be tlio end ou't." " I don't much enro what'll bo the end on'l," said cousin Joel. " Why, Joel, w hat do you mean?" t aid uncle .lochun; 41 if you uro f.oing to turn Whig nay so, nnd let tin put you out of the synagogue nt once, nnd be done with it. I want n plum tight up und down answer, nre you going lor Ginernl Tierce or ii"tT" "I spo-o 1 nhfill," said cousin Joel. 44 Then, why in the name of cutminni scimo don't you hurrnli lor him? said Uncle Joshui, "and tiy and get up some eiithusiainUHy, You ought to b ashamed to throw your hurrahn tuvay on 'tother Now, Uncle Joshua, I'll tell you what 'tis," said Sargent Joel, straightening himself up jest an ho tued to nt tho bend ot tho company in Nullification time!, siivn he, 111 tell you what 'tis, Undo Joshua, 1 m willing to vote lor Ginernl fierce to help you keep tlio poat'iillice, nnd I menu to; but you needn't nk mo lo hurrnli for him, for I can't stnud no suc h tom-foolory an thai. I've tried it, and it won't go no how. It makes me feel so much tike digging small potatoes nnd lew in n hill.

A Tkrilous Jouknky. The Maltese correspondent of tho Morning I If raid thus describe the recent eruption, and the perils endured by a party of Knglish travelers on ihe ntht of ihe event : The Pi-eat Kentn Catania took from nm' island several of its inhabitants, nnd not a few olhVers obtained u short leave of absence on the occasion. The ammo-, mom nll'orded by the splendor of the lire-works, &c, well repaid llieru, but, nmro than all, the magnificent, eruption uf Etna, which, since lll-VI, bud been reposing Hi tranquility, added nn interest to the voyage inui none expected. Al oii-ht. v. m,. on (he 20 ih August, u party of Eng lish ladies and gentlemen, with iiiulos nnd muleteers, et Nicohril, with the ascending Mount fjtnu, and m king a shelter at tho Onnu Inpiew, at eleven o'clock the party, in oxcellent spirits, rcm lu-d the Hosco, where ihey put on their liglit clothing. fussing tho Rosco nbout two miles, the huge crater below Ellin, called lb" Colossi, glared awfully, nnd shortly threw up largo bodies of lire nnd smoke. Immediately after, Etna vomited forth ils tiro and ashes, and as iho wind set, towards ihe Casa Inglesi, it was not prudent to seek itn friend iy shelter, us, in all probability, it would be destroyed. Their course was, therefore, chaugod, the Colossi being now tho point to which it wns directed. Tho water, which had been very cold, wns increni-ing in its comfortless intensity, and when our travelers hnd got above the height of the Can luglesi, in a narrow defile, of which sand and small lava were tho component parls, thoy were overtnken by u hurricane so violently strong, that in mi instant seven mules and their rider were, blown over: und not only no, but to render the scene more, terrific, was nftorwnrds Found they wore blown to tho very edpo of tho crater! Tor the gentlemen to descend in search of their companions was tlm ret-ii It of n moment's decision. At this time tho scene wns indescribably grand. Heaven nnd earth presented one mtigniliceiit glum of light; Etna above, vomiting ita sulphuric llame ; tho Colossi below, belching forth its dense masses of smoke, lurid from the furnace beiienth. The huge mountain poured out from its interior, prolonged meanings: without, tho hurricane ronrcd in all its might and majesty. Crawling on their knees nnd hands, unable to face tho violence of iho hurricane, ihe gentlemen nought the Indies, who were not discovered nud collected together tilt after n search of twenty mluuics. They wero then placed under columns of lava, their light clothing literally blown ofV their bucks, nnd a pyramid of living beings wns formed around Ihem for their safety nnd protection. An by mngictho scene suddenly changed. An earth, quake r-hook the land ; up jumped Hie guides, bawling their unmusical Arnnti '. AwiiH (Get on! Get on!) mules broke fnnn their keepers, and were nbauibineil lo iheir fate; the hurricane increaned in strength; nud in ten minutes tho little party had fallen, fnnn rdieer exhaustion, on lbo pointed lava, To face the wind, charged with wind and sin.ilt stone, wn-i beyond lln-ir power. In this manner two hunts passed awny, nnd mot noxiously did ihey hmk fnr the approach of dawn, N ithin the crater, which rornn ni tho party cournge ously examined, forty email Inrnncen wero burning awfully; these, ns they renched Cnlanin, seemed to nmnlgnmate, nnd one vast issue appeared to carry de-struclion to some villagennnd pi store laud, which, an reported, have been seriously injured. Often ban iho indomitable courage of the softer sex, when tented, been proved to he greater thnu that of mail. Nothing on ibis occasion could equal iheir more than heroism. On setting forth on their return, the sharp points of Ihe lava presented no obstacle ; cour apeoiialydid they undertake their nii-nuto walk, regardless ot all inconvenience, and renched iho It'isco at snven, n, in., after mi absence of sixteen hours. After a hnnty dfjruncr, ihey continued their jtuirnov by mules, and reached Nicolini by ten, whence they started for Cnlanin, which tley reached by half past two, p, in. Tito Kalian party which had preceded them, reported their obstinacy in prnceedit g iieaiiist the opinion of their guides, and thin led to the rmuiral report that lliey were numbered wiih the dead. Their safety, indeed, in miraculous, lor bad rain ensued, nn often happens before nn eruption, they wcuhl have been washed nwuy ; hud the wind changed, they would have died under llio sulphur impregnated air!

At ihe lime, about Ihree hundred Lorofocos assembled, at- lempted lo rniso a hickory pole, broke down, nnd left it in the ditch.

Whereat, An article appeared in The New Hampshire Patriot, duted at Concord, August Ui, 18,12, over Ihe signatures of ihirty-six Cutholics of this town, many of whom, we arc credibly informed, knew nothing of their names being used until they were in print, representing that tbey, and Catholics of New Hampshire generally, foel deeply indebted to (ienernl Tierce for his support, in ar.d out of tho Constitutional Convention, to tho proposed amendment to the Constitution, removing tho Anti Catholic VVjM herefrom and where-ns, no credit is due in Ibis particular toGenernl Tierce, or the party in the Stilo whoso candidate he it for Ihe Treiideiicy, it is deemed proper lo put forth the following paper: We, Culholic cilirnn of Concord and vicinity, feel that wo aro wrongfully marked for proscription in matters political, when the spirit of tho uge in favorable elsewhere to religions toleration; and we ihiuk the party in power in this Slato has shown an indifference to our rights highly censurable, inasmuch ua no honest etlorlB have been mnde by Ihem to remuvn the impediment which bars Catholics from holding, under the State Government, place of profit, honor, influence nnd rniponsibility ; and wo huve yet to lenrn that (ieneral Tierce, who seems so solicitous to obtain the votes of people of our faith f-r tho high ofliro ho seek, has ever uttered a word in our favor, save just nt lite clone of a Concord Town Meeting, in Im.v;', when the question had already been derided against us in Ihe State, and also in Concord itself. (u our estimation ho bus donu nothing to merit our support. Indeed, in 18:i.r), his own party in tho Stale Legislature passed a luw depriving uiirintiiralized citizens of what little right ot salpingo wns theirs, up to July 4, of that year.

Soon niter ho came there the Indi-ins became troublesome. They mule homes nnd various nihor things, nml killed :i mimber of pt rsoni in our nei.diborhond. When I wna between 11 and 12 years old, I think il wan in Ihe full of irrtH, I wan taken pi inotier wiih my brother John, who wan almtit IS months older than I. Tho rin uriisinncen nre nn follown: On Saturday eve. ning wo wero out with an older brother, nnd enme home iie in iho evening; one of oh had lost a hat, and John nnd I went back the next day to look for il. We found the hnl and aat down on a log and were cracking nutn. Alier a hort time w saw two men corning down from the direction of the house; from their dr'n we took them h- be two of our neighbors, James I'erdile nnd J. Lliisfell. Wo paid but little attention to 'In ni till they canie quite near ua. Toescnpe by llipht wn now impossible, hnd we been disposed to try it. We Fat still until tbey came up to ua.

Oun of the Indiann walked nboitt ten nleps before, nnd the olber about m fame di-tnnco behind us. Aller traveling some distat.ee we halted in a deep hoi low and sat down. They took out their knives and whet them, and talked M-mo in ihe Indian lonpuo. which wo roiild not uiiih-rMnhil. I tidd my brother ibat 1 Ibought they were going In (fill ns, and I believe bethought no too, for lie began to la'k to them, and told tlu-m that his father was ctofs to him and mnde him woik hard, in d tbat he did not bk b ird work, l hat bo would rather bo n hunter and live in I ho wooda. Thin seemed lo plcno them, for they put up iheir Kiiiven ami laiitra more lively mid pleasiintly to nn.

An night begun to close around us, I became I'lelbd; my brother eiicouraucd mo by whispering to mo that we would kill Ihe Indians tlril nifdit. Alter Ihey hnd sehcted the placw of-encampment, olio id' them scouted round the ramp, wbiln Ihe other slunk fire, which wan done hy mopping the tfiucb-holo of the gun ami II ishiiu? powder in the pan. Alter ihe Indinu got the tii e kindled, he re-primed Ihe gnu, nnd went to an old stump lo get some d-y lindcr wo ii tor lire; nnl While he was thus employed, my tiioiher John took iho gun, cocked it, and was about to shout tie Indian ; but I wns nhinned, fearing the other it i-bt be close bv and be nbte to overpower us; so 1 remonsiinied nvniml his idiooling nod took bold of (he uuii mtd prevented ibe shot.

They put nn between llinrn that ihey might be the bet ter nble to giiaid us.

DowNtNcvn.t.E, Statu op Maink, Saturday, September 18, I8.r2. Mr. Calks &.Skaton : My dear obi friends, I wih I hnd better news to write to you. I'm pesky afraid j (ineral Scott is coming in. And, nrter ull, I don't see ' why I should feel so much ntrnid of it, especially on my own account, for I don't nposo hn 's a very bad man. Hut I feel bad for Uncle JoBhtin. His whole heart is bound up in tho post nfiice, and if ho thould lono it, I 'in afraid it would almost be thn death of hint. Ho 'shad it now more than twenty yours, nnd he's more fond of it because it was given to him by dear old Ginernl Jackson. Ho loves it now like one of his own family, and 1 think it would be tho hardest ono of the family to part with, unless 'tis Aunt Kezinh. If ho were to louonry one of 'em, that is Aunt Keziah or tho pent ofUce, I know it would break his heart. And that's what makes mo feel so bad at ihe turn things linn took down this wny in favor ol Ginernl Scott. If tiny wny could bo contrived to keep Uncle Joahua in the post-oflico, I would n't enro a snap if Ginernl Scott diil conio in. And I paean theio's n good denl of the same sort of feel in' amongst n good many of I he Democracy. I 'II just givo you n sample of it. There 's Cousin Sargent Joel, ho can't live without hurrahing for somebody nn much as two or three limes a day. He got in a habit of it in old Hickory's time, and ho couldn't never leave it oil' since. Two or Ihree weeks ago Undo Joshua nnd I was in the barn, planning n little nbout Rotting out iho voters to tho election, when all to once we heard somebody back of the bnrn holler with oil his might " Hurrah lor Ginernl Sentl." We both started and run round the corner ol the barn oh fast oh wo could, and who ahoulil we aeo there but Counin Sargent Joe), standing on a slump, swinging his lint all alone, and hollering nt the very lop of his voice, " Hurrnli for Ginernl Scott." Uncle Joshua looked ns cross ua thunder, and Cousin Joel colorod a little us soon ns ho see us, but ho swung bin hut again, and aung out onco more, 44 Hurrah for Ginernl Scnti, nnd I don't enro who beam it." "What's that you iny?" said Uncle Jnshiin. "1 say, hurrah for Ginornl Scott, and I don't core who lieum il," says Cousin Joel, putting on his hnt and jumping oil' the stump. 14 Well, this is a pretty piece of business, said Uncle Joshua, " selling such examples as thin in tint neigh-bora. There's many a word spoke iujeest that's lurried inio nrnent before its done with; nnd you ought to be caiofiil how you set such hurrahn agoin. H you once geiVm started, there's no knowing what'll be tlio end ou't." " I don't much enro what'll bo the end on'l," said cousin Joel. " Why, Joel, w hat do you mean?" t aid uncle .lochun; 41 if you uro f.oing to turn Whig nay so, nnd let tin put you out of the synagogue nt once, nnd be done with it. I want n plum tight up und down answer, nre you going lor Ginernl Tierce or ii"tT" "I spo-o 1 nhfill," said cousin Joel. 44 Then, why in the name of cutminni scimo don't you hurrnli lor him? said Uncle Joshui, "and tiy and get up some eiithusiainUHy, You ought to b ashamed to throw your hurrahn tuvay on 'tother Now, Uncle Joshua, I'll tell you what 'tis," said Sargent Joel, straightening himself up jest an ho tued to nt tho bend ot tho company in Nullification time!, siivn he, 111 tell you what 'tis, Undo Joshua, 1 m willing to vote lor Ginernl fierce to help you keep tlio poat'iillice, nnd I menu to; but you needn't nk mo lo hurrnli for him, for I can't stnud no suc h tom-foolory an thai. I've tried it, and it won't go no how. It makes me feel so much tike digging small potatoes nnd lew in n hill. Hut when I got right hungry lor n hurrnli, I give it to Ginernl Scott, and I lind lhro' refresh ment nm! nourishment in that, something like real meat; it makes me feel ns it ured to when we gin the loudest hurrnhs fur Ginernl Jackson." Uncle Johhun turned uwav, looking rather down in the mouth, and saying, 44 bo ord'nt know what the world was enming to." An nenr nn I cnu hnd out, there s a great many Dem ocrats in tine Slate, nnd other places ten, that's lit the same fix as Cousin Sargent Joel Downing; they've ineu ro uiirrnh tor iiinmii fierce, ami can t. over to iho raisin of Squire Jorien'n barn 'inther day, nrter they all g it through, Squire Jones, who in n great Democrat, culled out, "now Jet nn give three cheers tor Ginernl Tierce." An quick ua look they all swung their hats, and uhnnt threo-qunrter.i of Vm mug out as loud ns they could holler, "hurrah for Gineral Law. At that Squire Jones Hew in a rage, ami lold em tliev Wit: tmi'ors to iho mm-, nod no turn IJeio-K inl would hurrah for any body but Ginernl Tierco. That tout bed 'lie dander of ihe rot of em, nnd about twenty swung iheir bats and cried out lustily, " Hurrah for Ginernl Scott," nnd naked Squire Jones if he liked licit nny oenor. These things has kept Uncle Joshun very unonnv along back, and beloro our .State e clioii which cotne long Inst Moiiilnv. be got quite harvntu; and bo nint no better yet. We've been in quite a state of conboh. rnlloti ail tho week, trying to hnd nut how tlio elec tion s gone, but it s n h:ird hum to work out. I went over thin morning to help Uncle Jin-lma ligureup. He was Mtdtig at tilt taulo with his spectacles on, anil ihe papers spread all around him, and n pen in bis hand, ;ni (I n uarK scowl on his hmw, lie was tiniiKing so hard he did n't seem to know wln n I come in. Shvb Aunt Keinli, nays he. " I nm dreadful glad you've come in .Mjor, your uncle will ma lie himself sick work ing over Ihem figures. Suva 1, " Well, Uncle Joshua, bow am wo coming out !' am afraid wo urn coming out at the little end of ihe horn, Mn.jur, said Uncle Josbim, and he looked up over his npcrlaclon so puiu nnd melancholy it made me feel bad. Says he, 44 1 don't like the looks of it n bit; the Slate is on ihe back track ngain toward Whigge-ry, jest as 'twas when Harrison cume in." " Oh, I guess not, says I, lor I wanted to cheer bun up an much as I toubl. 14 Tho liquor law hns played the misRhtet with Hits election nil round, nnd got things b.idly mixed up; but if we sift 'em nut carefully we hull timl the llenmcratn ns strong an ever. I ucle loahiia shook bin head. Says I, "Let us see the li"iiren. Here 'a the returns from three hundred towns, nil the State, except some of the oulnkh tn.

And then in the House it aiut iinidi bolter. Last yenr we bud a clear nuijoi- tty of more itinn thirty, and now it don t look ns though we should have more than ten majority. And il ihe State goes fur Scott, I beliuvo Ibe Legislature will go Hint way too. Governor nnd oil.' Hut, may be, Unrle Joshua," says I, "Iho Whigs hnvii't gaincil na much us you lliink for, after all. It looks bud in (he Legislature, I see, but may bo nil owing to the rum business, ns you any nboul the Governor."44 No, no, it isn't that," raid I'nclw Joslmn, with a heavy nigh ; 44 you may depend upon it lbo State has got n W hig drilt. Tho Congressmen tells Ihe story, and (here lbo rum business, ban Holding lo do with it In ihe Inst Congress wo had five Democratic itepie. sentalives and Hie Whigs two Well, now how is itt In the next Congress Ibis Slate has six Itcprerentnlivca, and ihe Democrats have made out to elect Ihree nnd the Whigs three. It's jest an even bnhime, and n few more of them tooliah hiirialiN lor Genctril Scoti will tip ihe Stain agin nn." " Well, we must stir round," says 1, 41 and try to Mod this hurrnli business, nnd may be wo can save the State yel. If 1 ketch Sargent Joel nt il agnin I'll rash if r him. If Democrats can't hurrnli lor Pierce they mustn't be ulluwed lo hurrah for nobody. Hut, after all, Uncle, aupp'iae we should lose thin State, ibe nation in snfe for Iho Democracy. You must remember we hnve a largo mnjorily of thn Sintea, nnd nigh two thirds, uf the members ot the Inst Congress." " Well," says he, "Unit don't prove whether we shall have two-tbirda or one-third in ike next Congress, If Ihe Mnlen go en ns Ihey have iiegun it will he pretty likely to bo oue-ihird.

A Tkrilous Jouknky. The Maltese correspondent of tho Morning I If raid thus describe the recent eruption, and the perils endured by a party of Knglish travelers on ihe ntht of ihe event : The Pi-eat Kentn Catania took from nm' island several of its inhabitants, nnd not a few olhVers obtained u short leave of absence on the occasion. The ammo-, mom nll'orded by the splendor of the lire-works, &c, well repaid llieru, but, nmro than all, the magnificent, eruption uf Etna, which, since lll-VI, bud been reposing Hi tranquility, added nn interest to the voyage inui none expected. Al oii-ht. v. m,. on (he 20 ih August, u party of Eng lish ladies and gentlemen, with iiiulos nnd muleteers, et Nicohril, with the ascending Mount fjtnu, and m king a shelter at tho Onnu Inpiew, at eleven o'clock the party, in oxcellent spirits, rcm lu-d the Hosco, where ihey put on their liglit clothing. fussing tho Rosco nbout two miles, the huge crater below Ellin, called lb" Colossi, glared awfully, nnd shortly threw up largo bodies of lire nnd smoke. Immediately after, Etna vomited forth ils tiro and ashes, and as iho wind set, towards ihe Casa Inglesi, it was not prudent to seek itn friend iy shelter, us, in all probability, it would be destroyed. Their course was, therefore, chaugod, the Colossi being now tho point to which it wns directed. Tho water, which had been very cold, wns increni-ing in its comfortless intensity, and when our travelers hnd got above the height of the Can luglesi, in a narrow defile, of which sand and small lava were tho component parls, thoy were overtnken by u hurricane so violently strong, that in mi instant seven mules and their rider were, blown over: und not only no, but to render the scene more, terrific, was nftorwnrds Found they wore blown to tho very edpo of tho crater! Tor the gentlemen to descend in search of their companions was tlm ret-ii It of n moment's decision. At this time tho scene wns indescribably grand. Heaven nnd earth presented one mtigniliceiit glum of light; Etna above, vomiting ita sulphuric llame ; tho Colossi below, belching forth its dense masses of smoke, lurid from the furnace beiienth. The huge mountain poured out from its interior, prolonged meanings: without, tho hurricane ronrcd in all its might and majesty. Crawling on their knees nnd hands, unable to face tho violence of iho hurricane, ihe gentlemen nought the Indies, who were not discovered nud collected together tilt after n search of twenty mluuics. They wero then placed under columns of lava, their light clothing literally blown ofV their bucks, nnd a pyramid of living beings wns formed around Ihem for their safety nnd protection. An by mngictho scene suddenly changed. An earth, quake r-hook the land ; up jumped Hie guides, bawling their unmusical Arnnti '. AwiiH (Get on! Get on!) mules broke fnnn their keepers, and were nbauibineil lo iheir fate; the hurricane increaned in strength; nud in ten minutes tho little party had fallen, fnnn rdieer exhaustion, on lbo pointed lava, To face the wind, charged with wind and sin.ilt stone, wn-i beyond lln-ir power. In this manner two hunts passed awny, nnd mot noxiously did ihey hmk fnr the approach of dawn, N ithin the crater, which rornn ni tho party cournge ously examined, forty email Inrnncen wero burning awfully; these, ns they renched Cnlanin, seemed to nmnlgnmate, nnd one vast issue appeared to carry de-struclion to some villagennnd pi store laud, which, an reported, have been seriously injured. Often ban iho indomitable courage of the softer sex, when tented, been proved to he greater thnu that of mail. Nothing on ibis occasion could equal iheir more than heroism. On setting forth on their return, the sharp points of Ihe lava presented no obstacle ; cour apeoiialydid they undertake their nii-nuto walk, regardless ot all inconvenience, and renched iho It'isco at snven, n, in., after mi absence of sixteen hours. After a hnnty dfjruncr, ihey continued their jtuirnov by mules, and reached Nicolini by ten, whence they started for Cnlanin, which tley reached by half past two, p, in. Tito Kalian party which had preceded them, reported their obstinacy in prnceedit g iieaiiist the opinion of their guides, and thin led to the rmuiral report that lliey were numbered wiih the dead. Their safety, indeed, in miraculous, lor bad rain ensued, nn often happens before nn eruption, they wcuhl have been washed nwuy ; hud the wind changed, they would have died under llio sulphur impregnated air!
