m abated, and another attempt was made. As the boats moved up, instead of seeing the expected cavalry, they were saluted by heavy volleys of musketry from the river-banks. The enemy proving too strong, the party was obliged to return to the vessel. At the same time, Lieutenant King, of Colonel Jourdan's staff, with a body of men in boats, moved up Bear Inlet: he found and burned one of the vessels sought, together with its cargo of salt and leather. He returned to the gunboat, bringing with him forty-three negro refugees. The whole expedition arrived at Beaufort on the morning of the twenty-sixth ultimo, without the loss of a man. Great credit is due Colonel Jourdan and the officers and men of his command, together with the officers and men of the navy, for the efficient service performed. The Commanding General tenders his thanks especially to Colonel Jourdan, Captain Cuff, and Lieutenant King, of the army, and to Commander Dove and Lieutenants Huse and Cowie, of the navy.

of Capt. C., d. 10 Dec. 1757. Coffee Cartwright d. 25 Jan. 1826, a. 77. He used to work by the day among the farmers, slept in barns and lived almost anyhow. One of his stories was that he was a servant to General Burgoyne, and that just before the capture of the latter at Saratoga, he was ordered to take the General's favorite horse one morning to the brook to water. The American and British armies lay on each side of it, half a mile or so apart. After the horse had drank sufficiently, Cuff concluded to join the Americans, and dashing through the brook, while the British bullets flew thick at him, reached our lines.—--J. B.

not take them home to them and give them the freedom of their cities on terms of equality. No, no. That, to use their own vile money-making phrase, "wont pay." If Cuff thinks he is to exchange his plantation home for the Plysium of Boston or New York when he is seized by the Yankees, or runs away from his master, he is very much or America, we do not exactly perceive.--Africa, however, seems the more probable, for the Yankees want all the land on this continent, and do not design to spare Cuff a foot. All the Yankee States, Mr. Lincoln says, will pass laws to rid themselves of him, and so nothing is left for Cuff but Africa. Now, if there is any one thCuff but Africa. Now, if there is any one thing he dreads more than another, it is living where there are no white people. He knows that he cannot trust his own color. He has a perfect horror of Liberia on that account, and he will not go there, if it cost him his life to avoid it. Lincoln proposes to abolish the Courts of law in all the countries held by his armies,

e one. "They take the ground," says the Star, "that the Indian territory west of Louisiana and Arkansas was ceded to the United States by treaty, and on certain conditions." The Indians having violated the treaties and spurned the obligations, it is proposed by these long-headed Congressmen to occupy their territory and put the contrabands in possession of it. The plantations of the Choctaws and Chickasaws alone, the Star tells us, could fully supply the American mills the first year, and, as Cuff is famous for making cotton only when he is compelled, a system of apprenticeship is to be established, to take the labor that is in him out of him. "The country is approached," it seems, "from St. Louis through Springfield, a distance of three hundred miles." "The remainder of the railroad from Rolla to Fort Smith can be completed in twelve months." "The county thus reverting to the Government embrace the vallies of the Red, Arkansas, and other rivers, and contains 20,000,000 acres of unsur
