We began our march with nine hundred of the best men, about eight o crock the same evening, and marching all night, came tip with the enemy about three o'clock, P.

CLEAVELAND. frtT A long time ago; Seneca, the moral- ist, wrote an epistle against' singularity of manners and behaviour ; and among other things said r aa well as we now re. number, something like this, "It is the hu mor of many persons to ba singular hi thet r dress and manner of life, only to the ' end that they may be noticed," and asks " what is this but .an' ambitious vanity that' has crept in at, the back door ; Aye, truly what, else can it be I , How very plain and humble many would have us suppose they were how entirely they were above the prevailing manners and customs' of the country in wliich .thcy lived. Now let it bo known thaf we a're no advocate of gev. gdteed foolishnesa,nor ruflled Kr whiskered dandyism ; but we, must insist, tiiat religion and common tense always teach tu to avoid singula ritiea in our appearance and deport ment, at all times, when there is no viola tion of principle or consirterwy.' involved. People of common tense will always try to dress and act in a plain straight forward common sense like manner; Carefully avoid. ing foolish extravagance on the one hand, and clownish ;lovenlinesl. on J tlw other. They know and feel .that it is no disgrace to appear Jn plain or coarse apparel if their circumstance will not easily allow' it to be otherwise j but they know that it is an eternal 'disgrace in the estimation of all honest men to spend money unnecessarily while honest : creditors are unpaid, rand children uneducated. . The most important matter, both as to the cligion and morals of our country, is to inform the minds of the people. ... A, man of inforniation, whether rich or poor,- will be found always acting on the principTes of common sense he will keep clear of nsedlessextravasanCes and fooleries without violating public customs or making himself a gazing stock to thd-peaV plo. We cannot account for affected sin. giilarity and oddity on any otherprincipTe' than a want of sense. " Such persons may occasionally excite a laugh, but can never command sincere respect ' , No sensible, modest man wishes to at tract the gaze of the public ejre he. desires to pass observing yet unobserved and exhi biting himself only when it is necessary to secure or advance the interest of himself or Ilia fellow men. Such an one, invariably secures lor mmsclt the confidence and re spect of the Intelligent and respectable por tion of the community, wliile be is free from the censure and contempt poured up. on those empty headed boobies who labor to attract attention and gain applause : by affected singularities, or what they would pass off for witticisms. tJ The political ezcitemnnt la Ten Jwm. ftLf?'l?ta,, ha been eonfeired occasioually passing out ' ' Tito clnp-boards on the cabin were covered" . with coon skins,' buck horns and gourds hung out; the string of the latch outside, and the door about half open ; a smoke coming from the chimney --.The foremost cabin was drawn by bay horses f it- had deer skins, coon skins, nails, a double barrel of hard cider, and several hunters inside, roasting squirrels. .

' Federalism Triumphant t-By the steam ship New York, Captain Wright, which,arrived last evening from Galveston, we have received the latest Tex ian papers. From, the Austin Sentinel, of the 9th in; stant, .we copy the following important news:.. - . ... . An express arrived in this city on Sun. day, bringing a confirmation of tho defeat of the Central forces at Guerrero.' - Col, apata, as before slated, - was taken near Mear, by Gen. Arista, and at first well treated, but subsequently decapitated, and his head stuck upon a pole and placed upon his own house at Guerrero This provol ked the resentment of a brother of Zapata, who raised about four hundred rancherous, and the Central army having been divided into several small parties, cut them all to pic ces. The people have taken fresh courage, and the Federal flag again waves in triumph over the states of the North. Mexico will be compelled to return to the constitution of 1824, or the whole territory will" be parcelled out into independent States. Federalism is the cause of the ople against the priests and army, audit must and will prevail.. But a few days ago, It was said that it was lost- now the boost ed army of Arista, which was, after flog. ging the federalists, to sweep over Texas with the besom op destruction, has been destroyed by a few ranchcros, and federal ism, in the noith'is more prosperous than it has been before since the days of the Usurper. 4 ; .y j The Camancbes had come down i large number, and brought in two Mexican women taken, from the San Antonio, river about a year ago.--They still have some American prisoners in their possession which they appear very unwilling to return. nounccd it; Every person present was touched to tears at the interesting scene. ' Another part of the story we would ra ther never have heard; but as faithful Jour. na lists, we feel bound to furnish it to our readers. The uncle of the rescued child slipped front die swimming house, several miles above the place where it was first seen by the boatmen; a little child, an infant boy, was clinging to his neck as he full into the-water, lie "rose to the surface with the child still clasping his neck, he found that the" chance for Jus own preservation was hazarded by keeping the child with him and heedless of its piercing cries, forget, ting all the nobjlity of the man in the 0mV mat sense or sea preservation, no-Drone loose the boy s grasp, and flung him off, a prey to the equally merciless stream! Aye , with a great effort, which, if used for more manly purpose, might have saved them both, he struggled until be freed him' self from the firm grasp of the. child, who cjuhff to' him with scch a "grip for hfc, that his unnatural uncle had first to tear the stout shirt from about his own neck ere he Could disengage himself from the doomed bov! The man was saved, having reached a tree, from which ;h was taken off by some persons whoi were brought to his re lief by his piteous cries for help. - ;-Ve sincerely 'trust that we have been misinformed as to these sickening and painfu particulars, or that the disgusting account has been exaggerated; but just as we have given the story, we received it ;S w; Hamburg Journal. 9 velvet of the richest coloring, bearing pennant in its- beak, which with . the 13 stripes ' and 26 stars, waved on the banner. This, banner was designed by Charles F. Buckner, - Esq. a decided, intelligent, and efficient Whig, and wrought by the fair hands of the ladies. There was a little boy, deaf and dumb who bore a standard in oneof the boy's companies, and who waved his hand as the procession advanced. At about 12 o clock, the ladies marched in procession to the Presbyterian Church. Ontlie arrival of Col Foster, the proceed, ings were opened with solemn prayer by the Rev. James McCampbelL . The following address was then, made to Col. roster by Capt James Scruggs . " CoL Evkraim HTFoster : Sir : I hold in my hand a cup. which I have the honor of presenting to you in the name of the Whig ladies ofJcflerson county. ' This cup and its contennr-are offered in consideration of the high respect they en tertain for you personally, as well as their devotion to the principles of the glorious cause in which you are engaged. The enp was then handed to Miss Mary Ann Inman, and by her presented to Col. Foster, who returned his acknowledge, ments in a brief and very happy-manner. The cup was of buck-eye, banded with sil ver, and was full of hard eider. - : The marshals succeeded, after consider able labor and some time, in making way through the dense crowd to the stand, which had been prepared by the ladies, .with a great deal of taste. It was elevated about 12 feet, beneath the shade of a large oak ; the front railing, .which was broad and about 20 feet long, was covered with cloth richly ornamented. The columns and the arch in front, forming a wreath above the stand,, were entirely covered with ever, greens, spruce pine and cedar, intermin gled with roses, honey-suckle, and various other flowers. The seals behind were bush. ioned. -v"- .' . CoL Foster ascended the stand, anoxom. me need his address by an allusion to " Old ISppccanoeflia jwhich the vast multitude responded in a loud and long shout, which echoed to the distant hills. He spoke be. tween two and three hours, and handled ptodern Democracy i' with gloves off." But, as you have heard him at Knoxville, it is unnecessary to lepghen this communication with any description of the force, humor and ability with which he discusses the sub. jects in controversy between the disciples of Martin Van Buren and those who are. contending for the great principles of con stitutional liberty and public happiness. Mr. Johnson then came up, and spoke for some time. - He made but about as usual. In the evening, by appomtrnent, Mr. Jar nagin made a speech, distinguished by clear and forcible reasoning. Mr. Senter also made a few remarks, Which were ex. ceediugly happy and humorous. It is impossible to give a correct estimate of the number of persons who were collect ed in Dandridge on this occasion. It was the largest assembly that ever has been in the. State. , Jefferson numbers a popula tion of sLfteen thousand ; more than a third of its entire population was present, and a great uumber from neighboring counties. " Fatal Occumasjics. Mia.

The most important streams are gradually falling." , a w - - A PASSAGE TN THE tllSTORT OP THE Great FRESHET.One s'bf the "most thrill. ins incidents which occurred, is that of a little girl about eleven years of age, who was taken up in the middle of the river about twenty-five miles above the city, by Capt Joseph Staunton, of a Petersburg boat The story of the adventure of this little girl, we have obtained from herself. She is the daughter Eliza, of a poor widow lady, Airs, barah otone, who lived on the nver, near rerguson s ferry, on the so. Carolina side. She says the first intima. tion they had. of tlieir danger, they were surrounded by the river, when her mother, a daughter, older than Eliza, two brothers, younger than herself, (her uncle,) and a faithful dog, fled to the top of their little cottage, soon after which the house was ta ken off by the current One after another, they met a watery grave, Eliza and the dog only clinging to tlie wreck, when she came in sight of the boat of Capt. S. who had lash ed his boat to a tree, and succeeded in making her cries heard. Captain S. im mediately rouscdhis hands, who were all asleep, and gave chase, and after pursuing her about three miles, overtook'and rescued her and the dog, from their perilous sit uation." ' 'i : . The above we clip from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, of Friday last. What a picture it brings before the mind s eye! With what thrilling intensity of anx iety must these faithful boatmen have toiled on in their race, while the prize for which they rowed was no less than the life of an innocent, helpless child! The God of mcr cy smiled on their labors and they suc ceeded! For three long miles, dowri a furious current , with the floating" house in sight, scudding on with the rapid wave, which rushed with the speed of a race horse die boatmen pulled with the strength of giants; and nearer, nearer, and nearer still, -th-evcry-stroktrof helf oars7as.j every nerve was strained, and each pulse beating high with painful anxiety, they came towards the novel craft, which was sor strangely - freighted. "And they saved that little girl and her devoted companion! When the boat eame up with tliem, we" have been told r the little girl Was found with her finger nails buried in the project ing shingles of the roof comb, while the claws iof the dog were firmly fastened in the same manner. On 'landing at Augus ta, the child seemed almost unconscious of her situation, so fearful had been the ordeal through which site had passed "so start ling, astounding, and awful had been the events of the few hours which had Interven ed from the moment she was playing at the cottage door, surrounded by mother, bro thers, sisters; all who were dear ami near to her, and who were now buried beneath the wave, and painful apprehensions were entertained by many who saw her, that " the hght of her mind," had gone out in the agonizing conflict The old negro boa man who took the child into the boat from the roof, endeavored to soothe and comfort her, but she seemed not to hear him, or to manifest any recognition Of her preservers.
