Speakine a formidable Dt'rate (aid to We lieen lotely seen in the West Indies, the Richmond Star takes occasion to give the following particulars of an encounter with free-hooters, several years ago in the same latitude, which have never before ap peared in print, but which arc neverthe less true: . Thegeneraldcts of the case are these: Capt. Robinson now a wealth and mtrch respected citizen of New York while in command of a ship many years ago, at a time wnen several ot the European pow ers were at war, discovered one day just as night was setting in, a suspicious look ing sail under his lee; but as the stranger made no movement towards him, he con cluded that she was probably one of the many privateers which then swarmed the ocean. J. he next morn inff he discovered the strange sail nearer to him and very soon became satisfied that she was not on ly hostile but a pirate. He had one gun, and an abundanceof small arms and ammu nition on board, and fortunately a good number of passengers, mostly men. When satisfied that he had no alternative but to light or surrender, he assembled the pas sengers in the cabin and told them that they must decide whether the v would sur render and be themselves murdered, and give their wives and daughters to the bru- talitV of the) fiends thn nuranine ilium nr stand upon their defence like men, , If they chose the latter alternative, he gave mem e mis- wanting, mat u must oe a des perate conflict, and that boarding the pi rate was probably their only chance of success .'. , . '. Most . of tho passencers resnonded promptly fhat they would fight to the last. u ngm mey m ust. Although to the wind ward. was found that the superior sailing of the pirate was more than a match in a long chase lor this advantage, and Robin; son resolved at once to meet the crisis and decide the. matter while his position gave htm the choice of commencing the en- augment. . m steered at once to meet the toe, tKus giving hjm to understand that he n J..VJ......IUI mm, vs. s ue neaTeanim the pirate gave him broadside from the guns, three in number, that crippled him oadly, killing two of hie best seamen and one passenger. Still he kept on receiving another broadside, that injured him .more, but not as badly as the first, In a few mo- ..i . ntenis ue . was near me pirate, ana by a skilful manoeuvre got a raking" position, and takinc rood aim, he forthe first time discharged his gun, loaded heavilt with j canktcr and" grape. The effect was ire mendous, the fvessel beintr much cut jd and the slaughter among the pirate crew pruuigiifus. inis created con I us ton 'tv- raong them and enabled Robinson to plant his bow against the pirate, just where he jjiLtti reu. - In an instant the bowsprit was crowded with the devils,4ooking like very fiends. wno aasnea upon the forward deck m large force. A bloody strutrole then en sued, hand to hand, in which the ship's ueienaers were driven bnck ty the over whelming force, and the prospect for an instant was that they would be annihilated, beyond the chance of hope. At this mo ment, some of the passengers shouted in English to their friends to 'clear the way -stand back for the gun!' The Span iards raised a yell of triumph, as they saw theirfoes, who had met them so sturdily rush back, and were in the act of spring ing forward as the murderous charge of the gun met them with sweeping rarnag leaving but few alive and covering the deck with the mangled remains of more than a score of the wretches Brtt a fresh force supplied their place and four sever al times the good gun cleared the deck of the blood-thirsty tvillians. As they went leaping back the fourth time, Robinson shouted to his men to 'board,' and in a mo ment the strife was upon the pirate's own deck. The force of the pirate had been terri bly cut down in the previous contest and after a short but desperate struggle, in which Capt. Robinson received a sheck- mg wound from a cutlass, passinc from his forehead, between his eyes, across the cheek and down to the back of the neck yet he killed the man who wounded him and two others afjter receiving the lash the pirates were all driven below and ihere secured. . The Cabin was then cleared of everything valuable, the vessel scuttled, and in a short time the vessel sunk, carry ing with her every soul left on board witn the wounded, dying and dead. Captain Robinson was wounded in many plaresTj besides the last shocking wound across his face, the scar of which he yet bears, and many of his force had fallen or were de perately wounded; but he carried his ship safe througn her voyage, and was able to tell of one of the most gallant and desper ate actions, ol which we ver heard, or which history can show. From the New Yotk Mirror. BEAUTY IN AMERICA Ate you beautiful, Madam T I think I aee a slight inclination of the head. Quite between ourselves, then quite out of hearing of any plain person of your own sex I wish to say a word to you about your beauty what it is worth, here and elsewhere how adorable it is, and in some places how more than others and how your leaf of life (you being boi ij in America) "By some o'er hssty angel was misplaced , In Ftte'a eternal volume." First listen to our confession of fai.h Porcelain and crockery.champagneandcider, sunshine and candlelight, silver Cup and tin dipper, are not of more different quality, to our apprehension, than people beautiful and people plain. We do not believe they ate to have the same destiny. We believe that the plain and the beautiful are to be reprodu ced in their own likeness in another world, and that beauty must be paramount aliko a mong men and angels. Ve believe every thing should be given to beauty that beauty wants ever thing forgiven if beauty err We have no limit to our service of beauty no imaginable bound to our devotion. We ate secondary subject born thrall to beau ty. And in this faint ws shall die.' ' But beauty In America is a very different prized commodity from beauty in England, Let us keep clear of making an essay of this, and show what we mean by parallel exam ples. Take two beautiful girls of the same comparative station ; Miss Smith, of London, daughter of a master in chancery, and Miss Brown, of New York, daughter of a master carpenter, for the former gentleman is about as far below an Earl, as the latter is below any aristocrat of New York, supposed or acknowledged. , : .-. , .-, Miss Brown, of the Bowery, is a lovely creature. She excites curiosity in Broad wav. She hinders devotion right and left, when she turns round in' chtitch. In the best society of New York there ia not a prettier girl, and nature ins made her elegant in her manners,, and education has dona ss much for her as was at all necessary.- Her father delights in her beauty, and her mother is very proud of iter, and she carries her heart in her bosom, to do what she pleases with it but neither Mr. Browo, or Mis.' Brown, nor Miss Brown ever dream that her beauty will ad vance their condition in life one peg. - They love her for it she controls the familv bv it she exercises influence as a belle in their own circle vf acquaintance; but thai is all. She live a very gay and pleasant life, hears of balls in more fashionable parts of the town, without dfsming that, for ber beauty, she should be there and continue a Bowery belle until she marries a Bowery beau. And beauty, once married ia that class of -out country, is like a pair of shoes once sold- never inquired for again ...:.. f , , ; Miss Smith, of London, Is a superb firl Her father was of dark complexion, and her mother a blonde and jet and pearl have don their dati.ties in her dark eyes and radiant skin. At twelve she is considered a beauty past accident, Hei sisters, who were either "all father or 'all mother," grimy dark, or parsnip blonde; are married off to such hus bands as would undertake them. - But for the youngest there is a different destiny, for she is a beauty. The father wishes for advance ment and tide. The mother wishes to ng uie in high Itfo before she dies. Aad Miss Smith young as she is, is taught the differ enca between a plain young lord in a cab and a handsome lawyer's clrtk with a green bag. Beauty, well managed may be made to o ptn every door in England. Masters,' the best of mas' era fur M is Smith 1 More money is spent in 'finishing' her than was given to all ber sisters tor dowries, v she is permitted to form few acquaintances 'of her own sex, none of the other. And when Miss Smith is sixteen Mrs. Smith makes her first strong push at Lady irtppery, (for Mr. smith has put Lord rrtppery under obligations, which make it inevitable that the fust favor asked should be. granted) and out comes Miss fMniih, chapperoned by , Lady rrippery, at a mixed subscription ball. It is lor the benefit of the Poles, and the Liberal nobility are sit there; and all the beaux of St, James street, of course, lor they like to pee what novelty will turn up in such places, lite hour after the ball opens, MisaSmiUi sbeau tv had been pronounced unon bv half tho no ble eyes of London, and Lady Frippery is assailed for introductions. The beauty turns out high bred.- Lord George and Lord Fted- erick torments their Riht Honorable niani mas into calling on Mrs. smith, and having the beauty at their next ball : and so climbs 'Miss Smith to a stratum of society unattain able by her father s law or mother f wealth, or. any thing in the world but beauty. She is carclully waltftieu, and keens herseir cha rv. and bv and bv chooses between Lord Frederick and Lord George, and elevates her whole familv by an alliance with the peeiage for in England their is no memllirtnce, if the lady descended to be ot grtat oeauty, as well ss virtuous. odest and well educated. But, as we would show by these examplrs, pesonat beauty is undervalued in America. At least it is less valued than in England and older countries. An eminent English attiat, recently returned home, expressed hi stir it'... t,- i t r... . i - prise that he had so few beauties among his sitters. i he mouve to have a mimaturt done," said he, "seems in America to ba af fection. In England it il pride. ' Most of my sitters (and he had a irreat many at very large price) have been old people, oy in- vaitus, or persons going away ; ana tnotign they wished their pictures made as pood looking as possible, their claim to good look was no part ol the reason for sitting. It was only to perpetuate that which was love and would soon be lost. Pray take notice, madam, that we give no opinion as to the desirableness of the En glish value of beauty. Whether beauty and wotidiy pront should he kept separate, like church and state whether it is desecrated I by aiding the uses of ambition whether ii attuiiiu ue wtc iiiausvone oi aneciion or pnue we leave with you as an open question We have an opinion on the subject, but we prefer to pronounce it in a whisper to Miss Brown of the Bowery. . . - DISMAL SWAMP. Almost every body associates with the name of tb'is famous swamp, snakes, nox ious reptiles of all kinds, and every form r j? - . : oi gaum uisease. A writer m-the Express save it is dismal enough to look at, but " low as the coun-1 try is, and sickly as one would take it to be, fevers and fever and ague are un known. In deed the people of the swamp consider the waler a sure preventive oil diseases, and what Is singular enough, I am told that other persons from other and sickly parts bf the country, resort to the swamp, for health and protection." 'The water which fills the swamp, is of 4 dark red color, is drank by a few inhabitants in the swamp, and is said to be very healbful, being strongly impregnated with juices from the roots of the juniper and sassafras, fec, which grow in great 'abundance; in short a sort of "compound fluid extract," diffussed instead of "concentrated." ' - EDENTON.. .v-. Z' Its iMraoviino raosrscts. Within ths last twelve months our Town has eoosider ably improved, and now presents a moie buisiness like appearance. Four new Stores have been opened, and Goods of every des cription are now sold about fifty per cent cheaper; and we would here take occasion to ssy, that there is no necessity now for our farmers to send XMotth for their Uroceries, Sic, as they can be bought nearly ascheap here as there, and by trading here they bavs the advantage "of keeping, their -money at home. We sgaia say, spend your money at home, encourage our home merchants, and they will be stimulated to more exertion to have our market well supplied.' Besides, these stores we have aa excellent Tin Man ofactory, where all articles in that tine can also be bought at Norfolk prices, several retail groceries, one Tailor's shop, two Jew eller" hops, 'One Blacksmith ehop, one Apcthccsry Establishment, one.
