rDr request. Israel rejoice in him that made him, let y -j joyful in their King, Come my brethren, Israel's race, And here me bless ray King, Hear me, my beloved, praise My Jesus I will sing: Neither hear my song alone, But help, O help me to proclaim, Jesus, who my heart has won, Jesus, that lovely name. We arc of one family, The children of the Lord; Come then brethren, sing with me, Tho' by the world abhor'd: Let us gladly trace his steps, Who suffer'd death among the Jews; Who the friendless soul accepts, Whom all besides refuse. Jesus, once despis'd and mean, Our master let us own; lie's the sacrifice for sin, The saviour he alone: s Let us take and bear his cross, Despis'd disciples let us be, Mock'd and slighted as he was, For you my friends and me. Others sing their time away, Who Jesus never knew; Ought not we to pass our day, In joy and sinking too? Others have they cause for joys, The children of the king have more; They have Christ, their righteous ness, Their glory peace and pow'r. Uone but Jesus let us sing, None else will we adore. He our pi-ophet, priest and king, Shall be forevcrmorc. one among the heavenly pow'rs, Nor one on earth our praise shall claim; None but Jesus call we ours, None but the bleeding Lamb. Bow thy throne thou son of God, And with a living coal, Trom the Altar stain'd with blood, - Inspire each lifeless soul. Slaughter'd Lamb' who, who can shew. Or fullv who can sine: thv praise? j Lord, we fail in hymns below; Teach, teach us" heavenly lays. EPIGRAM. Tack! quoth his father, can youtell,i0f Michigan and Arkansas, the!

The dance was o'er, each gallant bow'd TJnto his partner fair; And to a seat from 'mong the crowd Led her with tender care. Then handed round was cooling ice, Jellies of various hues; Cakes, fruits, and so forth, in a trice, Tor each sweet girl to choose. I press'd Maria's hand, and said, My love, what wilt you take? Blanchmangc, icecream, or lemon ade, i Or jelly with a cake? Or else perhaps some sangarce, What shall I order in? The 'deuce take all such trash, said she, V 11 take a glass of Gin. Very remarkable fact On the passage of Gen. La Fay ette to York an eagle, the bird of Jove, flew from the Bluff, about two miies below this town, and hovered over the Steam-boat Petersburg which the general was on board of. It followed him to Mount Vernon and we are told, continued flying over thc tombofVASH inuton, to which the General was devoting his soul with the lioly feelings of erief . It seem- rA to have an inspiration in its anions. It would not quit the It displayed those feel- ino-i which would seem to indi cate that it was a special mes senger, sent to welcome our il lnstriou's jrucst on his visit to the sacred repose of the first of meiihis fnenuf.and thejtricnd of mankind. Alter the Gener al haci fulfilled his pious devo tions, this bird, representing the gratitude of the nation, and em blematically the spirit of Wash ington, took its final departure from that spot which contains the relics of Lafayette's dear companion. There is no doubt whatever of the fact which we communi cate above. We could give the testimony of hundreds of the most respectable names of its correctness. Besides it would be too palpable a story to invent almost in the very lace ot La Fayette himself. Alexandria Herald. Cotton. xV letter from Mar seilles, dated the 7th of Sep tember, states that the long sta ple cotton from Egypt contiiAi cd to arrive at that place, much to the injury of American eot- ton. The writer states that re cent advices from Alexandria mention that 30,000 bales re - mained of last year's crop. An English company is said to have made a contract for 100,000 bales. The writer gives it as his opinion, that if the quality proves to be good and clean, it will be employed in preference to U. States Cotton by the spin ners. - The State of Michigan.

The Editor of the New ork Lvening rost, relates an incident by which a man may become an involun tary pick-pocket, while at the same time, anby the same act, he picks the pocket of another man. We will give the anec dote in his own words: "The following curious occur rence happened a' few days ago in this city: A gentleman from the country, stopped at a bar ber's shop to have his hair cut and to be shaved. "Having ta ken off his coat, he laid "it on a chair. Immediately after, ano ther gentleman also from the country, entered to be shaved, and he likewise took off his coat and laid it down. The last per son was shaved first and depart ed. When the former had done, and went to get his coat., it was gone: he immediately ex claimed that he was a ruined man. as he had eight or nine hundred dollars in his coat pock et. Ihe apprentices anu jour neymen were despatched in all directions to find the other gen tleman; but to no purpose. At length the barber proposed ex amining the pockets of the re maining cont, when in one of them was found a pocket book containing from 14 to 1500 dol lars. About an hour after, the proprietor discovering the mis take, came back in a state of perspiration, when an exchange took place to the satisfaction of all the parties. The first" shav ed gentleman had gone from the North River as far as Cath arine market, before he discov ered his loss." . Animal Electricity. Mr Glover has published the fol lowing method of receiving the electrical shock from a cat. Place the left hand under the throat, with the middle finger and the thumb slightly pressing the bones of the animal's shoul der then gently passing the right hand along the back sensi ble electrical shocks will be felt in the left hand. Drunkenness and profanity. A man was fined a few days since by the mayor of Philadel phia, for drunkenness and utter ing 45 profane oaths. The fine was 67 cents each oath, and im prisonment 48 hours for each in case of non-payment of the fine, besides 21 hours' imprisonment '.for being drunk. The culprit chose the latter alternative, and was accordingly committed to prison Blanks. The number of blacks in the United States is computed at two millions, and the annual increase at hlty thou sand. Providence, (II. I.) Oct. 23. Riot. We arc sorry to say j that this community, which lias always been distinguished lor its domestic felicity and repose has for the two last weeks been .disturbed and disharmonized by not and rebellion. Un bunday evening last, the centre of the town nresentcd a scene of tu mult and disorder, and a most Ilinous riOl lUOK maci;, ucuvutu 4 were again thrown into a state of confusion, by a similar trans action, differing only from that of Sunday evening, by its deso lating and wicked consequences. Early on Monday morning an infamous placard was posted on the Hag-stall at the bridge, call inic upon all who were disposed to riot and rebel to meet at that place, at 10 o'clock the succeed ing night; and long before the arrival of that hour, a mob com prising four' or five hundred persons had assembled, and at the word of command took up its line of march for a small hamlet, situate at the northern suburb of the town populated principally by blacks, who lo cated themselves in that quar ter, o avoid any intercourse or correspondence with their hos tile white neighbors. When ar rived at the spot, a most furious attack was made upon the unof fending and unsuspecting inha bitants, many of whom were en gaged in convivial sports and rural games, and in the short space of four or five hours, elev en dwelling-houses were level led with the ground : The infu riated'and misguided mob, not content with prostrating the dwellings of the unfortunate be ings upon whom their vengeance was vented, commenced gene ral destruction among their goods and chattels, destroying every thing on which they could lay their polluted hands. The destruction was general, unlim ited and without discrimination, save only in those instances' where the mob was brought up i with "Bum," or by the inebri ating: "cud were diverted from their unhallowed 'designs. The next "returning sun presented to the beholders, a scene at vvnicn humanity revolts with detesta tion and dismay, and at which the heart sickens, and from the contemplation , of which the mind cladly retires. 1 he ham let which but a few hours be fore bore a smiling aspect, and through which the hum oi in nocent festivity had been heard, was now, silent and torsaken, and the ruins of what it was, barely told the spot where it has existed. It was indeed a - lam entable and sorry sight, and the town in this instance has incur red an indelible disgrace; and a monument of infamy has thus been erected to perpetuate the atrocities committed by an a- bandonccl arid profligate mob. He who betrays the secrets of his friend because he has quar relied with him, is never .wor thy of the sacred name of friend; a breach of kindness.on one side will not justify a breach of trust on the other.

Henry f Ft Ikes, Ex'i of John Wilkes, dee'd. Halifax, 30th April, 1S24. 7tf One Hundred Bollm REWARD. UNA WAY, or was stolen from the .Subscriber, on the nieht cf the 8th instant, a bright mulatto woman (slave) and her child, a girl of about four years old. This wo man ran away from the Subscriber, executor of John Hunt, deceased, in the summer of 180S, and passed as a free woman, by the name cf PATSEY YOUNG, until about the first of June last, when she was apprehended as a runaway. On the sixth of the same month I ob tained possession of her in the town of Halifax, since which time she and her child ELIZA have, in compliance with an order of the county court of Franklin, been sold, when the Subscriber became the purchaser. She spent the greater part of the time she was runaway (say about sixteen years) in the neighborhood of, and in the town tf Halifax, one or two summers at Rccklanding, where I am informed she cooked fcr the hands employed to work on the canal; she also spent seme of her time in Ply mouth, her occupation while there not known. At the above named places she has many acquaintances and friends. She is a tall, spars woman, thin face and Lips, lorg sharp nose, her fore teeth in a state cf decay. She is an excellent seam stress, can make gentlemen's and ladies' dresses, is a good cn( k and weaver, and I am informed is a good cake baker and brewer, Sec. by which occupations &hc princi pally gained her living. Seme time during last summer she married a. free man of color, named Achrat! Johnson, who had been living n and about Plymouth, and folio boating on the Roanoke. Since h.s marriage he leased a farm t Mr. James Cotton, of Scotland NcJc, (Halifax county) where hcwcsl.' ing, together with this woman, when she was taken up as a rumi way slave in June last. I h:ivc x. little doubt that Johnson has con trived to seduce or steal her wl child out . of my possession, and wu attempt to get them out of tin- state and pass as free persons. Shcaii this be the case, 1 will give !'J Five Dollars for his detection ar.fl conviction before the proper tribu nal in any part cf this state. 1 lil give for the apprehension cf tl woman and child, on their dchveiy to me, or so secured in jail cr other wise that I get them, Thirty W Dollars.
