bear, or catamount, or kangaru, could not
precisely be determined. The beast had
been to one house and whipped a dog; at
another, broke the paling ami boxed off a
dog's ear; and his tract was every where
visible in the streets. He had been heard
under one gentleman's cellar; another
had seen the place of his wallowing in
his garden, nay, had heard him pawing
at his doortook a lamp and looked at
him even saw the white streak on his
back. One gentleman met him about
the Arsenal, and was pursued by him
home; and another fell in with him on
Hillsborough-street, caught him by the
tail, turned him wrong side out, drew
him up and kissed him.
On Thursday night last, Bruin, embol

3 o'clock near the Newborn Hank; his

about bear shooting, an experienced hun

this bear, and now was as good a time as
ever." With the aid of such a man as
this, a partysallied forth to take the bear.
The street was soon crowded with men,
intensely watching the attitude of the
combatants. The hunter slowly and cau

the animal, aimed deliberately and fired.
Bruin was motionless did not even turn
his white eyes towards the hunter. The
latter perceiving that his fire did no exe

nearer still, and taking better aim, level
led his firelock again. Bruin reared up,

The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette gives the follow
ing version of the recent
SPEECH OF GEN. HAMILTON,
At Charleston.
Come, list to me, brave chevaliers,
Who wear palmetto button;
Gird up your lorns, dismiss your fears,
A fig for northern mutton.
What! shall our cotton quit the field,
Our rice forsake the water;
Shall they to wool and iron yield?
Forbid it -blood and slaughter!
Attend, my lads last autumn I
A venture sent to Cuba;
Twas rice, my friends rice, clean and dry,
And pack'd by my man Juba,
I shipp'd the stuff, for point express
To test the blasted Tariff;
Nullification dies, unless
, It I have biggest share of.
A'nt I, my lads, your chosen chief
On this too proud occasion?
Being such and so, then 'tis my belief;
I hold the highest station.
And as the highest, 'mongst the high
Of Carolina's heroes,
I deemed it mine the thing to try,
And quash our northern Neroes.
Said I no rhino send me back;
Keep for yourselves the dollars;
Sugar I want, and must not lack;
I'll slip the customs' collars.
A'nt this the go, my jolly souls;
A'nt I the one can do it?
Shew me a hole, the least of holes,
Dam'me, but I'll creep through it!
But lately, I was led to read
A message from one Jackson;
Which makes me to my ways take heed,
Lest I the wrong tracks run on.
And so, if now my sugar comes,
My sweet and precious cargo;
On it Uncle Sam may fix his thumbs,
And eke in store embargo.
Don't think, my boys, that I therefore .
Back out from this here squabble;
By the Palmetto have I swore,
And swearing is no bubble:
That I your leader, valiantly
Will fight for rice and cotton,
While Carolina bounds the sea,
Or boasts one verdant spot on.
If northern sheep don't cease to blear,
And northern slaves to labor,
I'll tread the Union under feet,
If 1 can do it on paper.
And you, brave hearts, who me surround,
Hearts like mine own full daring;
Your arms I know you ne'er will ground,
Whilst I your trust am sharing.
For should the Tariff statu quo
Remain as now hereafter,
And we not strike a swingeing blow,
There might be swingeing laughter.
So, in such case, we'll buckle on
The armor we've imported;
And swords we'll clutch, and helms we'll don,
To meet the fate we've courted.
"Sugar or death!" be this our cheer,
Amid the din of battle;
Though cannons roar, we will but hear
My sugar hogsheads rattle.
"Sugar or death!" 'lis I command
I, who regard not lucre;
Be yours the "death," my trusty band,
Be mine, the sweeter "sugar."
From the Charleston Courier.
