5 5 Terrible Retribution Jllob Latetrial, condemnation and execution of Hlephen P. Yoermans. . During 'be fast Indian war m Florida, an extensive band of land pirates formed se en organization for the purpose of robbing and plundering the people of (bat pan of the couutry. They committed crimes which were charred-upon the Indians, and tended much to prolong snu eniuiuer ue uiooay suiie. Siiic.ejft-WH 'hey. have made themselres the scourge and terror of the northern part of Florida and some of the southern counties of Georgia, by negro stealing, robbing, aud other crimes.-. ' ; A large number "of citizens residing near the line of Georgia and Florida, met in Nov. last, and organized an association for the purpose of detecting and punishing these men. . Having ascertained that Stephen P. Yoermans wai one of the principal members of this piratical gang, the offered a reward of 500, through the columns of the Floridian of the 20th of November, for his apprehension and delivery to the Sheriff of Jefferson county, Florida. On Saturday night, the 27th ult , Yoermans Wits arrested a few miles below this place, ob tained a release under a writ of habeas corpus. was re-arrested, and finally delivered up on Thursday last, to the association of citizens who bffeted the reward in November last. The scene which followed, we give from the mouth f an eye witness. The citizens composing the association, to the number of about 175, organized at the line of Georgia and Florida, on Thursday morning at 10 o'c lock. A committee of 12 men, represent ing a jury, were sworn to try Yoermans for the ofienco with which he was charged. Wit nesses wpre.sworn, and his own confessions taken, all which went to prote that he had been eugaged for several years past, w ith a number of others, whom he named, in steal ing negroes both slaves and free, and selling them in other States, and committed other depredations upon property. The trial lasted until neatly night. The evidence having closed, the committee, lepresenting a jury, re turned a verdict of Guilty. ' This was on the Georgia side of the line between the two States. The Sheriff of Gadsden county, Fla., was-preseut-on he Fa. side of the liue during the ear ry part of the day, but left before the trial . closed.. A' motion was put to deliver tho prisoner into the hands of the constituted aulhoritics of Florida. This was decided in the negative by an almost unanimous vote. A vote was then taken as to what punishment f-hould be inflicted. This was decided (o be Death! by a vote of about six to one. aud the time of execution fixed at 12 o'clock on the following day. Tho assemblage now crossed the. liue into Florida, where the pro siding officer pronounced the solemn sen tence of death. Yoermans fell, when he heard the sentence, as though he had been shot, but soon recovered, and asked the pre siding ofiicer to pray for him. lie called upon a preacher of the Gospel, three or four of whom were present participating in the proceedings, to pray for the prisoner ; and strange to say, every mnn present knelt upon the ground, and joined in a most solemn aud impressive prayer to God, that He would grant the wretched criminal that mercy which they themselves were in the act of refusing him. A guard of twenty-five armed men were placed in charge of the prisoner, and the as semblage then dispersed to meet again on the following day, aud enact the last scene of this sad tragedy. Our informant left on Fri day morning, and met a large number of per sons who were going to witness the execu tion. The prisoner coufessed under the gallows that ho was both a murderer and a robber. Albany Ga.t Patriot. Oregon in PriiL.ADEL.PHrA. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Phila delphia took place at the Chinese Museum, on Monday evening, Robert 1 yler presiding, at which a spirited address was delivered by the President on taking the chair. A series of resolut ions were then offered by Mr Vm. A. Kiusloe, after a few remarks; and adopt ed with the most perfect unau unity, They claim Oregon as rightfully belonging to this country, and insist that the right should be maintained at all hazaids. . Speeches were also delivered by John A. Collin., Col. Florence, Col. Jack and Calvin Blythe. A resolution was offered by Col. Jack, culling upon the government to re-erect and fortify Foil Mc rcer at Red Rank, on the Delaware river, for the protection if the city, and adopt ed by the meeting. A resolution was passed authorizing the President to convene another meeting, in case it should be deemed neces sary, in consequence of the news expected by the next steamship. The Eau Broccujbri. We noticed, a day or two since, that Dr. Mott had come do-vn with a heavy hand upon the wonder- wot king "Lau Brocchleri," lately introduced to tho admiration of us Westerlings by the editor of the Courrier des Elats Unis. The Courrior, however, came manfully to the res cue yesterday morning; insinuates a. doubt whether Dr. Mott did really say what isascrib ed to him, and maintains that, if he did, no confidence is to be placed in his opinion, be cause 1st. The watei of Brocchieri was ori ginally seut from Europe to Dr. Ho sack by vc. xvion nimseU; 2d. Because the efficacy of the water is established by the certificates of more than a hundred European surgeons. most eminent in their profession; and final ly, because Dr. Washington, of this city, has made very recent trials of the water, with per fect success uo longer ago than Sunday aud has declared that if be had seen Dr. Mott before the lecture he would have greatly mod ified that eminent sergeon's adverse oj.iuiou. ' Ohio. On the 8lh inst., a State Conven tion of the democrats of Ohio was held at Co lumbus, at which David Todd was nomiuaied for Governor by acclamation. On the Ore gon question, the Convention went en masse for 54 degrees 40 minutes. The vacancy in the representation of Louis iana iu Congress, occasioned by the resigna tion of Mr Slidell, was filled on the 5th instant by the election of M La Sere, democrat. From ths Union. OBJECTIONS TO THF, NOTICE. One of the most potent objections to the continuance of tho joint occupation " of Oregon, under the convention, and, of course, one of the strongest ; reasons for giving the notice required to terminate it, is to be found in the fact that the true effect of that conven tion has been from the first, in this country, so much" misapprehended. To tho United States and to En-laud it has been by no means thesame instrument. It granted com mon settlement to the two uations in 1S8, her laws over the whole territory, built forts in all parts of it, and monopolized its ouly lucra tive business. If this, iuber view, be "joint occupancy," well may she say that "she claims nothing mare," Meanwhile, we have remained inactive in respect of "legislation, up to the present time. For near a quarter of a century w e made no considerable effort to legislate. In 1829, the llou-e of Repre sentatives did attempt to pass a bill providiug for the exploration of the country, aud afford ing some legal protection, or at least recogni tion, to our c itizens there.- .The bill, though strictly confining our jurisdiction to American . . . .. ti.i citizens, was instantly opposeu ana voieu down, as infringing the convention of joint occupancy when, at that very lime, the whole land, and every dweller in it, were, aud had been for eight years, entirely under the jurisdiction of British law. In 1842, a similar bill was brought before the Senate. It sought to protect our citizens in Oregon, aud to give thern, under certain conditions, bounties of land. It also failed iu the Senate, mainly for the same reason that it infringed the convention. Meantime, the Bay Company was governing the couu try, hunting it all over for furs, and holding its own so well, as to keep its shares only 140 per cent, above par on 'change. Every one knows how all attempts to extend our laws oyer American citizens iu that region failed in the last Congress. The "j .iut occupa tion " was as a lion in the path of every such effort. Under it we could do nothing, aud we did it, exactly. Englaud could do, aud was doing, every thing she thought fit. In this state of things au effort was made to give notice " of the termination of a convention of commou occupancy so wholly one-sided. That effort was successfully op posed, mainly on three grounds : First, it was said "negotiations are pending -nay, have just been renewed. The notice now is unreasonable aud ungracious." In the second place, it was urged, "this British occupation of Oregon is the hunter's occupation, and will wear itself out when tho region shall be no longer valuable hunting grouud. Eng land will tetire of herself if we ouly wait till the game disappears." This was the argu ment of grave whig Senators. Mr Choate, in particular, labored through seven or eight columns of the Congressional Globe to' prove that neither the Hudson Bay Company nor the British Government had the slightest in tention to colonize the region that the com pany could not sustain itself in or near an agricultural population and, iu his uwu words, ihat the " company must retire before Agricultural life, not enjoy it' From alt this, he inferred, notice was alike unwise aud un necessary. In the third place, it was urged against the notice, that emigration in the course of natu ral events would fill Oregon with our people, and so give us the territory peacefully ; while active measures, by precipitating a conflict, would force us to cope under immense disad vantages with the great military aud naval force of Eugland in the East, aud .so deprive us of the country. . These three objections to the notice its unseasonableness pending renewed negotia tions lbs temporary character of the lirilish occupancy and the safety of inactivity, cou pled wi'.h tho peril to our rights of decisive measures these were the main grounds ou which the notice was opposed. The first of these objections is now aban doned. No mau stands up now to say that the notice is unseasonable. The other two objections, though certainly entitled to very different degrees of considera tion, are both to some extent relied ou. The idea that Eugland does not wish to hold aud colonize Oregon, and will of herself recede from Oiegon, if we only let the Oregon ques tion alone, would be quite delightful, if it only had a Mule spice of plausibility. '1 he inge nuity of the thought brings to mind Sir Abel Handy in the play. He, too, was ingenious full of inventions and of all his inventions, the very best were those designed to put out fires. His own house took fire uone of his various apparatus was quito ready to work like the uot ice, not quite ' in season," as he might think. But something must be done, or at least said. He was desperate at last a happy thought struck him. " Y e'll let it alone," said he : "ilmay go out of itself P' The man who invented the idea of "letting England alone till she should go out of Ore gon of herself," was the very Sir "Abel Handy of politics. In the "patty of expedients," if there bo such a paity uu this question, he must win great emiucucc. But unfortunately, England, now in Ore- guu, icaves mi pieubiiig uouoi on me mind, that she thinks very seriously of stav- iug there. If her laws all over the country, aud ber forts all through the couutry, aud her avowed claim ot a right to colonize any un occupied part of America, urged so strouoly against Mr Monroe's just aud statesmanlike position ou that subject, and Mr Adams' powerful argument iu support of that position iu 1S24 if all these ihiugs do not speak the intention of the English , loud enough, other proois of her purpose aud policy are at haud They are to be fouud iu official documents of the highest character aud authenticity. On the 10th of February, 1837, the Hud son Bay Company applied to the British gov- rrumeui lor a new lease ct luctr cnarier tor twenty-one years. The application was made u a leuer ot that date, from J. Pelley, esq., governor of the company, to Lord Glenelg, men secretary of state for the colonies. This letter sets forth the grounds of the application li siaies an mat the compauy have done to carry oui me purposes oL tbe British govern uieut. It tells how they have driven the Americans out oi me lur trade, and got it all for themselves how tbey occupy the whole country by tenty-:wo permaneut establish ments, (this was in 1837,) nod many d'utinet hunting par ties how they keep six armed vessel, one of them a steamer, off the coast how they bavo in cue place begun farming, and mean to export agricultural products how the country is as fine lutmiug ground as any iu America aud, fiually, how they con fidently hope that, ' with care and protection, the British domtotou may uot ouly be preserv ed iu thi couufv, which it has beeu so much the wish of Russia aud America 10 occupy, - ... i. r i . v. ish interest aud British influence may be maintained as paramount on this interesting part of the coast of the Pacific." Suiiimiug all this up, we may see what kind ol a temjM.rary occupancy " is in the purpose of Englaud, and how she means to recede cf herself, if we lei ber atone. Late from Mexico. The Mexican schooner joaquina, which left Tampico on the lt iust., brings interesting aud important intelligence from Mexico, which confirms the rumored revolution under the leadership of General Paredes. The outbreak commenced with the Army of Reserve, stationed at San Louis Pofosi. On the 14th December;, the officers assembled at the tesidence of the Commandant Geueral of the Department, Don Mauuel Romeo, aud that officer read 'to them a manifesto containing an exposce of the alleged grievances. Iu this document, Geueral Herrera aud his cabinet are severely treated, reprobated as iu incompetent to man age the affairs cf the Republic, and dishonored by their willingness to truckle to the United States, aud acquiesce in the annexation of Texas. It fuither charges the administration with allowing a plenipotentiary of the United States to set foot in the couutry aud te sidu in the capital with a view to bargain for the independence aud nationality cf the couu try ; with reducing the republic almost to an archy by its follies aud imbecility; with thwarting the movements of the army, &c. The manifesto' offers for consideration ten propositions, and was sigued by all the prin cipal officers of the army.and solemnly approv ed by the Governor aud Assembly of S-jn Louis Potosi. It was then addressed lo Geueral Paredes, aud has doubtless received his entire sanction. A similar assemblage was held at Tampico, at the residence of Don Auastacia Parrodi, and the conduct of the army formally approved and adopted. Their proceedings were order ed to bo communicated to Geneial Arista, with a request that he would unite bis forces to those of Paredes. The authorities had placed Tampico at the disposal of the latter. We further learn that Paredes had begun his march to the Capitol, with a body of 6,000 men- Little doubt was entertained that the existing Government would be overthrown. A" O Bee. Improved Horse Collars. Of all the economical contrivances which we have ex amined, amongst the many thousands which have attracted our attention, we have seen nothing so perfect anywhere, aa the, ioiprove mcnt in Iluise Colhus invented and patented by our townsman, Mr F. C. Curtis. The hame aud collar instead of being separate, constitute oue piece of harness. By singular skill tho ha rue is formed of the proper shape, of one piece of tough white oak wood, and is left open at the top ; the ha:r.e irons are at tached to this in the usual way, and the leather portion, or the collar which bears against the horse's neck is neatly fitted and nailed to the hame. It teqiiires nothing but a strap to conned the ends over the horse's neck and it is complete. The great advantage of this "Improved hame, and horse collar" m, that it is never out of repair. A hame string is never lost, aud of course not requiring such a fixture in drawing, they never come loose, aud by those persons who are accustomed to all the inconveniences of uch accidents, the advantages of the new invention of Mr Cu;tis will be appreciated. Columbia Carolinian. The ladies of Brazoria county, Texas, have presented to ex-President Tyler, a larne and massive silver Pitcher, as a token of their gratitude to him, for having by his sagacitv, without the effusion of blood or tho loss of treasure, acquired for that couutry, over which he presided, a rich and widely extended terri tory, tiC.

THE WAY TO SAVE. Never giveraw -..corn to animals, You will save half by boiling it, or: making rnusb out of meal. The raw article passes through the stomach before the stomach can absorb oue-half of the substance. A professor says that three quarts of oats or com, ground fine and boiled so as to make a thiu mush, wilt yield more nourishment than three gallons nut ground. This is a tremendous saviug, and what is equally of as much consequeuce, is twice as good for the health of the animal. It is said to be injurious to horses to give them hay at night. Graiu at night aud bav in the day, is found to be more healthy aud useful.

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE -Mr Allen offered iu the Senate on the 14'h, resolutions dcclariuz that this Government would not longer remain silent at the inter ference of foreign powers w ith the indepen dent nations ol this Continent, &c, as ex pressed iu the President's Message. Mr Calhoun opposed the introduction of the reso lution. He thought this was not the proper time; we ivere not prepared for such a de claration : he was opposed to making the de claration without being prepared to carry il into effect; and he thought if we now under took to carry h into effect, we ohould have to go to Buenos Ayres and take that country under our protection, it being now blockaded by France. Mr Allen replied that the Presi dent had said in his message that now was the lime lo say to Europeans that their inter ference would uo longer be tolerated. His i i . . onjeci was to nave tne subject discussed to let European powers see that we were alive lo our interests in that regard.

MARRIAGE. "To be accurate, write; lo remember, write; to kuow thine owu mind, write," is the advice of one of tbe best authors of tho day. The policy of this iiis'rnctioii most hi; our excuse for venturing to embody thought. that have tarried iu our miud and parsed its inner chambers The soher child en of rea son or desultory train of fancy." We wi-h to offer a few suggestions relative lo the connection of marriage with the im provement of our town. Improve our town by marriage Assist a man in hi-i toilsome journey by casting an additional load upon bis .-houldeis? Strange aud contradictory as this doctrine may appear, we nevertheless be lieve it to be tr'ue. N hy, sir, where is the liberty which oppresssiou has not originated and established? Where is the gigantic intellect which received not its strength from difficulties met and conquered ? Shum. then, to the faltering spirit which doe not meet a difficulty. Grievous indeed must be the burden that shall outweigh innocence and health; and a well assoitcd man iage hath not many cares.'' Every towu has peculiar facilities for amas sing, wealth, uot observable by a stranger, but which perseverance '-.will -'discover, energy seize, economy irnproveand morality sanctity. Iu the married life maybe found incitements cilctiljled to arouse the sternest and the gen tlest nature. Let marriage, with its delightful interchange of congenial thought and feeling, its sacred lies aud "chaste en.learments," be made to act upon our young men, aud if a spirit of energy, , of economy and purity, be uot engendered, nothing human will engender it - there is no balm iu Gilead." Mariiage will induce private and "public virtue, which are invariably attended by fru gality. Where virtue and frugality exist, riches will by natural consequence accumu late ; and intellectual cultivation will of ne cessity succeed." Now, it is au indisputable law of political economy, that " industy will .be applied to capital, iu proportion to the iu tellectual condition of a people." Nothiug but pure and reciprocal affection can secure a happy uuton, and we are so constituted that the desire of gratifying those whom we love absorbs every selfish feeling. A parent re ceives higher gratification from the, pleasure ot a cnua, man irom sell-indulgence. Hence marriage affords the greatest possible stimulu to labor. Marriage and its responsihililie s es were proposed by Benjamin Franklin as he smest means of giving to the United Slates a place amoug the nations of the eanb. Surely, then, wo may claim for it no incon siderable power in promoting the prosperity of our town. Every thing which bas a tendency lo dis solve the bands of an overweening affection for self, enhances to power of man elevate him in the scale of being, aud renders him a more useful member of society. Labor is an essential law of our constitution ; ; but sulleu labor yields not much .frail. We look not for much improvement in the student who re gards bis lessons as tasks. Combine labor with pleasure, and great results may lie conr fideuily expected. - Now, marriage, by the manic of its influence, effects this combiua tiou, transforms difficulties into delights, and pervades society with a refreshing cheerful ness. . - ; .. ;v't, ,"" To the young ladies we would say, suffer not the dictates of a selfish and over careful prudencs to mar, aud perhaps destroy, your happiness. In your selections, compare not ietftfe with paltty god, nor sacrifice the heart to the empty souuding of a name; for "I The heart gi'C3 life its beauty, lis glory and its power - 'Tis sunlight to its rippling stream, Aud soft dew to its flower." Marry not the rich because he is rich : reject not the poor because he is froor. The rich may be heartless poor, indeed; while the poor ma repossess an inexhaustible' mine' of the richest feeling. Contrast jniud with mat ter the toweriug intellect ranging freely and fearlessly through the universe, from isolated facts deduciug general laws, with the brutal sensualist, " concentred all in svtn and how does the latter suffer by the comparison ! Con sider what a young mau will be, rather thau what he now is, recollecting that the ability to acquire eahh, associated with good habit, is far more valuable than a princely estate. Accident may iu a moment dissipate the one, but the other is an enduring treasure. In conclusion, let pur old men teach les sou4 of sound wisdom and discretion ; let our young meu marry, and Fayetteville will goon become a rich and populous city, with a Rail road to Raleigh arid a Turnpike to the West. . P. ; For the Carofn-an. Mr. Bayne: Fayetteville possesses na tural advantages for becoming, manufactur ing city far beyond any other place within the knowledge of the wiiler ; aud believed, by those able to judge." to be superior to any south f the Potomac.

Then we inusl look to some thing else be-ide merchandise lo employ the population and capital of the place &nd the sooner we come to it the belter. A writer in the Richmond Whig sumo short lime since (who contributed many able' article on man- -ufactures) "in endeavoring, to he Jhaf "the " neglect wn driving many from their home. to seek fortune in the fertile plains south of us points to Charleston, S. C., a au evidenre which he says has now a smaller population than iu 1S30, and is daily - los'ng more," and that " the population for 3')' miles a'ouud the city is one-third less than befote the levolu- tion." ' Nothing (nays the writer) is lo re deem that city but the creation of manufac tures within its holders." What is said of Charleston is to some extent, tuie of us perhaps out population is not decreasing, but are we increasing in Itade and prosperity, 'otntnensurntM with iho increasing resources of the country? Il is with pleasure that I learn that some 1 least are awakening to their true interest, and are likely to act upon the only true policy. I understand that iu addition to ibe six Cotton Factories in our vicinity, wo are to have another that the Company for its erection is now forming, if not already foim ed. Bur there is room for any number more the water power is inexhaustible; those already erected have proved immensely profitable, and ' are likely to become more t-o. Cupit'.l ts can find uo such advantages a in re to be met with here. There is also a Tu-pentine Dis tillery in process of erection hut what of that 1 We are in the midst of the turpentine couutry; and if Wilmington can suppoit a d zen di. t ileries, why not Fajelteviile vhy nre we all so wedded lo me chaudiziug as not lobe able to break through old associations atid launch out into other and more profitable employments? We have no Tauyard iu operation, nor is there one within 50 miles ol iht place. Cati no one make this branch profitable?

There was one commenced sornu years since., when manufactures were in in faucy al the south. but from some cause or other, abandoned. At the present day iheio is but little doubt of its success. There are many -other branches that could bo success fully carried on if ihe trial was ouly made. We golo the noilh for the phtoghs and axe used ou our farms, the glass lo put. in our windows, the button on 'our clothes, the buckets and pails for our h-ues, ibe brooms we sweep with, aud in a geat measure the caudles and soap we daily use. This should uot be so. While one poitiou of the people pride themselves on being called ' Planters," and another "Merchants," the Yaukee is paid for " the whistle.". a . ? .. And should we ever succeed in opening a I'urnpiKP lo the west, (and I hope soon to see it.) what an inexhaustible field will Iheu pre- sent itself. The country abounds in iron, copper, lead, coal, gold, ilver, &c, all scat tered in rich profusion, templing the capitaU isls and the nranofar-lurerl to operate iu which is the sure road lo wealth.
