Dreadful Oalroze. Our communitv has been thrown into a state of excitement. - ylo some days past, by the perpetration of I I A qre of the most daring outrages it has ever dc en our duty "to record. Un Thursday la st at day-light, three negroes confined in the district Jail for safe -keeping, being dejsperate fellows, and having committed many outrages, effected their escape, from thfc cell in which they we.re confined, by breaking the padlock either by their own efforts, or through thei aid of a female si jive, who was also a prisoner, and had the liberty of the passage. From an ex amination since had, it will appear that the Jailer, Mr". John Bevil, had desired one of the prisoners to call him at an early hour in the morning, in order that helnight ldck up the woman. This was accordingly Ijl done, but no sooner had he opened mid dle door, than the three desperadoes rush e upon him, one of them striking him on the Jieadamortal blowAvith an iron hinge, vyhich they had wrenched from the door ortheir cell, which not felling him, ano ther pushed him out ofthe way, and they all rushed by. The woman did not at tempt to escape. Mrs. Bevil, the wife of tic Jailer, hearing the; noise, ran to the passage, and saw the negroes endeavor ing to open the front door of the jail, which they soon effected, and made their escape. Mr. Bevil had followed the negroes as far as the door, butmost probably uncon sciously, for as they passed out he fell to tpe floor, and expired in a few minutes af terwards. .

In everything they said they contrived to bring n aj word " shilling." There were few men to be seen, and those whom we met skulked pastas if avoiding observation possibly ashamed to be there, possibly shrinkingj m an.V further ac quaintance with' pfficler Stevens, though neither of these eelngs seemed toj be shared by the females' of the community. A little turn tohth left brought us up against what appeared tome a blind tum ble down board fehcej but the officer pull ed the latch and opened the door, and a flight of steps was disclosed. lie went down first and threw )pen a door at the bottom, letting upa bliaze of light, and we followed into the grand subterranean Al macks of the Fiv0 Points. And really it looked very clean iand, cheerful. It was a spacious roiom, with a low ceil ing, excessively whitewashed, nicely sand ed, and well lit, ahd the black proprietor and ' ministering Spirits" (literally fulfill ing their vocation! behind a very tidy bar) were well dressed andf mannered people, and received Mr. Stephens and his friends with the politenes of grand chamberlains. We were a little early for the lashionable hour, " the ladies not having arrived from theatre," and proposing to look in again after making the ground of other resorts, we crept up again to the street. uur next dive was in a cellar crowded with negroes, eating, cing; one very well playing the castinets. drinking and dan made mulatto girl and imitating Ells- ler in what is called the crack-overasrain.

And at this point rflust end all the cheerfulness c-f description. This is called 'J murdering alley," said our guide. Wej entered between two high brick walls, yith barely room to pass, and by the light of the police lantern we managed to make our way up a broken and filth v stairca.fi to ih flrot r large building.

' THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN, SALISBURY, N. C, SEPTEMBER 13, 1845;; GENERAL GAINES. i The Washington Union, the oflicial organ of the Administration, says that the requisition of Gen. Gaines upon the Governor of Louisiana ifor troops, was unauthorized by the Secretary bf War, as it is plainly in violation of the Con stitution ; and wholly uncalled for by the cir cumstances of the case. This requisitionTis said to have been based upon intelligence re. feeived by the General, that alarge body of Mexi can troops were within eight days march pf the United States forces in Texas under the com mand of Brigadier Gen. Taylor. But it is now Ibelieved that if Gen. Gaines did receive such information, it was a hoax played off upon him by some one knowing he was easily alarm ed, and that his mind was not in the best con dition. In fact, all intelligence received since ;from the supposed seat of war, (for wo do not j believe there will be war unless Mexico has strong assurance of aid from some other nation I more powerful than herself)) go to prove that there was no foundation for the aforesaid rumor. lAnd if there was, how happens it that GeneraL I Taj lor knew nothing of the approach of this (formidable body of troops, when they were so close to him ? ; But admitting that Gen. Gaines actually re ceived such information from the most reliable lauthority, what right had he with or without in jstructions from the Secretary of War, to call up ion the Governor of-Louisiana, 44 without the previous legislation of Congress " for four regi- ments of militia? The Constitution, (as the National IntolligtMicer aptly remarks,) gives no power to any body but Congress ' to provide Ifor calling forth the militia to execute the laws lof the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions." That power (savs the same pa- jper) has not, that we can find, been delegated to General Gaines. 44 Yet it seems clear, that, in this era of strict construction and democratic ascendancy, civil and military, a large body of Louisiana militia are by this time in the field, ?upon the call of General Gaines ; although th President himself could not legally issue or Congress enact such an order, unless in a case which has certainly not as yet occurred. It iseems fated in this Texas business, that the lAnti-Latitudinarians shall not move a peg jexcept to crack some string of the constitution br laws." I We would respectfully call the attention of the Administration to the enormous and extrav agant amount of money, to say nothing of the great loss of life, which the conquering of a handful of Indians in Florida, cost the country. Let them remember that it was this earless and Useless expenditure of the public funds which hurled Van Buren and his crew from office. Let them bear in mind that this tear upon the people's Treasury, is almost as bad as a war vith Mexico, and in the end will 7je viewed by liem as a cunningly devised plan to drain them of their substance, under the pretenco of prepar ing to drive the Mexicans from Texas. How puch the People of the United States are to hay for Texas, if this state of things is contin: tied for any length of time, it will be difficult to (ell. It will have to be left for succeeding Ad ministrations and Treasury Reports to reveal. UNITED STATES REVENUE. The Ne w York Courier says it is informed on i'hat it considers good authority, that the British steamer Acadia, which left Boston on the 16th uly last, took out large orders for merchandise to England to purchase and forward to 'Tex- is to be entered there under the present low rate of duties, and there await the action of the ext Congress on annexation. When that act fa consummated, all these goods shipped to Texas become in reality entered merchandise. as much so as if entered in any of the ports of tpc United States now : and can be sent coast. Wise or through the interior, to any part of the Country. One would naturally, suppose that there ought to be a remedy fur this swindling the Government out of its revenue : and we in cline to the opinion that one would have been devised which WldTiave b by any other administraiidn. ( .The Executive, it seems, has engrossed his attention so much with Completing annexation, that he nor hU Cin has had time )o provide against the -attempts now making tfftbtS t1 !rv t!. . 4 A ie r.r.J t!.er y 1 r"i !'ri : 1 u; 1 tl r:i 1 v Voi!:, Bu.'.osi r Hi. ! - i i 1 .

This will no doubt strike many as being an awkward system, and they will be ready to ask how can Geography be sung to an air of regular measure ? - But such persons forget that there are partic ular metres, and 'that tunes are ; made to suit ballads as; well as ballads made to suit tunes. There is not as much tc wardhess about it as one might at first sup pose 1 For instance, there is a tunc () to which the United j States are sung that is, eact State with its Capitol. - And then there is another, tune to which the bound aries are, sung. And then there is anoth er to which the principal rivers in the United States are sung j and so on through out tie whole Geography. The prettiest ot althe tunes, however, we were inform ed , wqsthat suited tothemountainsqf South America, if we recollectrightly We heard , f , . , . , - - it, but having a horrid ear for. music could not readily distinguish it from the other tunes. - , A pupil in this school, when he has ac quired a good knowledge of Geography,' is said to be a 5 ucood sinireriV mud he can com rrience at the E5 North Pole and sing, to the South Pole; He can sin pr from East to TVc5, taking every thing in his. way. He can sing the Continents, Oceans, Seas, Bays, Kingdoms, Republics; States, Coun ties, Cities, Rivers, Lakes and Mountains. As this is undoubtedly anew thing to many of our readers, we desire to give them an intelligible hecbuntof it ; and to do this we have arranged below, three verses of Geography as taught upon this " Lan- casterian" plan, (that is the name of it,) which any of them can sing to ahy com mon metre tune ; ajid if, at the same time, they will trace out on the map, the bound aries named, they are at once in the high road to science asaught by Mr. Smith. of Tennessee.
