I had heard and read much about this place, and determined to sec who lived there, and what was their condi tion, and to my utter a,stonishment I found threc fimriks of the uiUabitatrts negroes, and the balance of the population made up of the off scourings of creation. To stand on the point anu iisteu ior one hour, you would imagine yourself in pandi monium, and not in the heart of a city professing to follow the teachings of Christianity. Here you see all the shades and complexions of the human family the Chinese, Malay, Mongolian, European, and conspicuous above all, the African and his hybrids. Here are spoken all the different tongues known to the human family since fhe destruction of the Tower of Babel. From this point springs all the notorious ring-leaders in crime and vice, and here reigns poverty, misery and crime. Al though I was told that the place has been much improved within the last five years, compared to what it was, yet from what I saw and heard of the social aud moral condition of its inhabitants, it is a blot and stain upon the philanthropy of the people of New York.. Here Henry Ward Beecher, Harriet Stowe, and their coadjutors, should be made to live and labor as missionaries, the balance of their lives, in order to atone lor ine ues aim slanders they have uttered against the slave and his master. "From this place they ohould be try ing to run the poor free negro, instead of trying torun tie happy slave from his master. Here is the sput of all others where these rose icoter phil anthropists and Kansas shriekers should spend their money, instead of supporting emigrant aid societies, and having rifles for Kansas. I remained in'this region in a disguised dies for about six hours, conversing freely with negroes and whites, and in visiting their houses, holes and jw. nn.l fi.nt. what I saw and luard expressed by WV 11- , IIIIV 1 1 1 these people, their wretchedness and poverty is be- j r 1 . . rail f .1 wl- yond description. 1 he poor iree negro uicuua approach of winter as you would a pestilence; and frequently to drown their misery through the long winter nights, these miserable creatures resort to i...

Here is the only spot in all my travels, including upper and lower Canada, where I found the negro on a perfect level with the white man, but such a level I a hundred degrees, in mor al and social happiness, below the slave of the South. I have yet to see the master who would let such immorality, vice and nitn exist ou plantation, as is to be found in and around the five points of New York. The free negroes of Char leston and Columbia are gentlemen in comparison with these poor creatures. There the one is re spectful and obedient to the white man, here they are insolent and impudent; being made so by hav ins such associates as Greeley, Beecher, Stowe, and the like. Here the mass of the whites are asjainst the free negro. They have no sympathy for him, no warm attachment springs from an un adulterated fountain.

A correspondent writing to the Kichuiond Ex aminer, from Healing Springs, Yn., furnishes the following interesting sketch of a "snake charmer's" exploits in that section : Among the wonders 1 have seen in this land of mineral wealth and water, Suj uining in search ol health, happiness and other rurtotitie, I witnessed yesterday and to-day one that almost passes com prehension and belief. A man arrived here few days ago on a tour through the mountains taking with him about a dozen snakes. Consisting of the California Rattlesnake, the irgittia Battlesnuke, and the Virginia Copperhead all mixed together in one box, as amiable as it they were of the same species of family. The gentleman's name is ti. F. Wirsen, and if I am rightly informed, a Swede b birth, and by profession is now a "tmat'e ckutlHrr. ' To prove that tliero was no humbug or impos ture in this affair, he took froM a box, alter some explanatory remarks, a whole dozen of snakes kept together in one compartment, under a glaws cover, with a moveable wooden shutter above. These snakes, as I have said, are of three varieties the Rattlesnakes of Virginia and California, and our imivi vivnpiiiniis Coimcrhcatl. He took them out one by one with his naked hands, and put them in a pile on the floor, whence they attempted to scat ter in various directions, but was restrained by his hand being waived at their heads. He then took them up and doubled them in all sorts of ways putting them around his bead, lace and neck, and finally cramming the w hole creeping crawling uiass into his bosom next his skin. In all this they showed not the slightest offence, not even rattling, but, on the contrary, seemed well pleased with the liberties he took with their snakely persons, and testified their satisfaction by poking their heads about his nose, eyes and mouth, in the most affec tionate manner. After this astonishing demon stration he piled them again upon the floor, and stirred them about, and tangled them up like so many handkerchiefs, and not a hiss, or rattle, or blow, showed any displeasure at his conduct. Then, to show that no juggling or imposition was put upon us, he took several of the largest of each kind, and opening their mouths, protruding their fangs and sack of venom, carried them around the room and exhibited these dangerous qualities as closely as his audience would permit; but plen ty close for all to sec that they were not the harm less creatures they seemed to be at a distance. He also offered to cause them to strike and kill any small animal the spectators might present; but this was rendered unnecessary by several gentlemen declaring they had seen it done at the Sweet Springs and other places. Moreover, he then took a box containing a perfectly wild Rattlesnake, of the Vir ginia species, caught in these mountains, and sold to him by a negro at this place not twelve hours before, and emptied the savage creature, rattling and coiling, on the floor, and striking at everything presented to it in the most furious style. Having ordered some music to be played which he says is the first and not least important step to be taken, in subduing its savage temper to kill time as he said he kept up his dalliance by walking around it, and nwuAntMl hist foot, which it struck, on the shoe. with a right good will, keeping up its rattling meanwhile, till our flesh fairly creeped on our bones. At last growing impatient waiting for the music, he seized a chance and caught the snake by the tail, about one quarter its length from the ex tremity, and began to whistle in a low tone, the snake doing its best to bite all the time, which he prevented by great dexterity, until he caught its eye, and fixed upon it the most intense gaze I ever Execution. Preston S. Turley, formerly a minister of the Gospel, was executed at Charleston Kanawha county, Ya., on Friday last, tor the murder of his wife. '1 he Sunday before his execution prayers were offered in the village church in his behalf. An English "Breach of Promise" Case.

At the supposed end of what has always beeu considered the longest avenue ot the Mammoth Cave ol Ken tucky, nine miles from its entrance, there is a pit, dark and terrible, known as the Maelstrom. Tens of thousands have gazed into it with awe whilst down it to make its uenjiui "g . , fearful depths visible, but no one ever had the dar- in" to explore it. J lie eeienrateu guwc ct-, I - . ! 1 a .staasnJ OtV who was deemed insensible to iear, was umn hundred dollars by the proprietors of the Cave il he would descend to the bottom of it, but he shrank from the peril. A bold man, resolved to do it and making his arrangements with great care and precaution, he had himself lowered down by a strong rope a hundred feet, but, at that point, his courage failed him, and he called aloud to be drawn out No human power could ever have induced him to repeat the appalling experiment. Ihe feat, however, was performed in safety, a couple, ol weeks ago, by a young man from Louisville who ha.l "one to the cave in comprmy with 1 rolessor ir l. tt A,.anA, 1MI feet before he touch ed bottom, and found it instead of a mealstrom no thin" but a circular opening leading to a chamber of no "rcat extent. 1 n ascending he once io trie rope, and when within a lew feet from the top the, rope took fire from friction, yet he was ns cairn and self-possessed as upon his entrance into the pit, t ..i ti i, ; omiinsnimm. overcome bv fatiene, sank upon the ground, and his friend Professor Wrbdit, from ovr-excrtion and excitement, fainted and remained for a time insensible. 1 he young adventurer left his name carved in the depths ot the maelstrom the name of the first and only person that ever gazed upon its mysteries. The Women Deserting the Mormons. A letter to the Jefferson, Mo., Examiner, says that on the 13th of June, several Mormon trams passed Camp Scott, on their way to the States. Ihev were principally composed of women of Scotch and English birth. The letter says : They were all unanimous in hkw ucuuuu.anwr of Bri"ham Young and his apostles, and talked of his asTassinatiou by the Mormons who remained at Camp Scott, as a sure event. They have all (without exception; become disgusted with Mor monism and renounced it, and expressed their de ! termination from henceforth to use all their efforts for the total annihilation of Mormonism. They express their desire to return to their native coun- trus and would, if they had the means to do so, m ! order that they might be instrumental in saving ' others from the baneful influence of Mormonism. On their arrival at Plattsmouth, on the Missouri liver, they had calculated to cross over to Council Bluffs; but the bad condition of the roads in Iowa j changed their resolve, and they are now dispersing themselves in Kansas and Nebraska Territories. . . . i . i ii ; - saw; this he connnueu ior uooui nan a minute, when his whole countenance broke into a smile for he saw by some mysterious sign, (which he says has never failed,) that he had conquered, and the make tea charmed! This he .roved by immedi ately folding it in his bosom ami round his neck, which it embraced most lovingly ! By this all skepticism was removed from his audi, nee, and they greeted his success wilh a round of applause. Having set out to relate this affair in the sim plicity of truth, I will now close by telling the whole truth. .Mr irscn has at last been bitten. The accident occurred in this wise: He, yesterday after his exhibition, engaged to charm an enor mous Virginia Rattlesnake belonging to a young man in the hotel perfectly wild and vicious. This morning he attempted to fulfil his engage ment, and, as before, was disappointed in obtaining amaaMsal heln at tllC tilllC abboilltCti. lie beL'HIl JIl'l.

This single excep tion does not disprove the rule or weaken his posi tion, but on the contrary, to my mind, rather tends to establish it; for it proves beyond all doubt his sincerity and honesty of opinion, and his entire self-confidence against oil odds. And his former ucces leaves no doubt upon the minds of any of intrdlitrent Hooctators of his strantre and un- iii.- . . . . . - -t o accountable power over the serpent tribe. He wou'.d not submit to the usual plan, but per sisted in taking a powdered bean. Called "eedOn" I think a famous California remedy. I submit these facts, which arc facts, as hun dreds now can testify simply as facts leaving you and your readers to elaborate such theories as may best accord with pre-existing notions or estab lished axioms: hut can't refrain from adding, then arc certain old sayings that can no longer hold true, viz: "That a snake will not strike unless in coil," and that, "a Rattlesnake always gives warning by rattling before he strikes " This is in no Wise true. rThe coil is not a necessary condition, ncr does the rattle show any such magnanimity. The Illinois Senatorhiiip. From present appearance, we think there will be no election for a United States Senator bv the Legislature to bo chosen in Illinois this fall. The two houses act separately in balloting, and the Senate can hardly fail to attain a majority of the friends of Douglas; thirteen members hold over, most of them anti Lecompton, and the opposition must elect eight ol the twelve to be chosen this Fill tosecurea.ua ' ioritv If no election takes place there can be no choice before 1861, as the serious of the legisla- tore are biennial.
