negroes. We cannot afford to have a repetition
of Christiana and Syracuse outrage.. " We cannot
afford the ill-will, the lad blood, the manning
and murder, the abolitionists through the means
of these runaway negroes, got ; up between the
North and South. The true remedy is to forbid
the immigration of negroes, and to stop the entry
of any more of them into the free States. As

to live peaceably together, no snch law was nec

remove all causes of such collision by refusing to
have any more negroes come among us."

LETTER FROM COL. CRITTENDEN.
The Washington Republic publishes, from the
manuscript, the last letter written by Col. Chit
tendbn, addressed to his uncle, the Hon. J. J.
Crittenden. It if as follows :
" 8hif or War Espernnza, Aug. 16, 1851.
"Dear Uncle: In a few moments some fifty
of us will bt: shot we came with Louez. You
will do me the justice to believe that my motive
tor coming was a good one I was deceived Iby
Lopes. He as well as the public press assured
me that the island was in a state of prosperous
revolution.
' ' I aiu commanded to finish writing at once.
."Your nephew, W. L. CRITTENDEN.
( "I will die like a map.
' "Hon. J. J. Crittendrn. ; i ' .
v ''Attorney General UniU Slates, Washington."
Yes, (remarks the "Republic" on this : Letter,)
doubly was he deceived by the public press:
the first instance by the misrepresentation of the
nature and character of the expedition In which
he was about to engage, as it, was, understood by
the laws of the civilized world. Herein was the
first and most cruel deception. He was told that
a career of glory was before him, and that hi
name would live In history on the same page with
that of Kosciusko and Lafayette among the
"liberators" of mankind. He was told that in
the indulgence of a " generous sympathy" he
micht look for a "higher law" than the statutes
of his country, which in the conflict might be mer
itoriously disobeyed. This was the first decep
tion.
The second was hardly more criminal the
manufacture and circulation of false intelligence
It is true, as Crittedden alleges, that the "publi
press" told mm mat lcba was in a state ot "pros
perous revolution." We now know, from other
information than that of Chittenden, not only
that this statement was "deceptive," but that
there was no possible) foundation for it Iu all its
length and breadth it was a lie. Who were the
guilty authors of this fabrication it may now be
difficult to trace ; but does not responsibility rest
upon those who circulated it knowing it to be
false, or most improbable, or who, at all events,
did not know or care a rush whether it was true
or false 1
We hope that the "public press" will be fanght
by the fate of Ckittf.ndkn and his command to
be more guarded in the doctrines it inculcates and
the Intelligence. to which it gives circulation.
THE MICHIGAN CONSPIRATORS.
It has been stated that the parties lately con
victed of arson, in what has been called the Rail
Road Conspiracy, in the State of Michigan, were
men of respectable standing; fathers of families,
thrifty farmers, members of churches, dtc. It will
be soroo relief to the public mind to learn that the
facts are fur other wine. All of the persons con
ricted, except one about whose life and character
previous to this affair nothing is known, wcro a
band of villianSj'wlio had been guilty of forgery,
theft, counterfeiting, fraud, gambling; men of in
temperate habita ; frequently arrested, and some
times the inmate, of prisons. All were criminals
before this last crowning act of wickedness caus
ed them to fall into the hands of the law. After
enumerating the crimes of which they had been
severally guilty, the Detroit Advertiser says :

tance on the part of .the Dane, who were unpre
pared for such an attack, Copenhagen was surren
dered August 17, As fye government repeatedly
revised to yield to the British demands, which it
CAnot do without a sacrifice of all national
honor, Jhe capital was bombarded for three days,
and 400 houses laid in ashes, in the ruins of which
,Swefithe Inhabitants perished. September 7,

pletely equipped, and including 18 ships of the

8o we see that Johnv Bull hates rascality and
meanness when it is done in a small way only he
has no objection to'ayviolatlon of the law of na
tions, on a splendid scale! '
It was acts of this sort,-so fruitful in British
history, that made her name hateful to the friends
of liberty and justice in this country. But this
was a long time ago. Siuce the war ofl812 .he
has become more civilized and behaved much
better than she did before. She took a few les
sons about that time that she got well by heart;
and this grumbling of hers arises from the little
snubbing she got at the World's Fair she did not
like to see so awkward a chap as brother Jona
than take the "shine" before so much company.

It is our painful task to announce the decease
of Commodore Lewis Warrington, of the U. S.
Mavy. He died at his residence in this city yes
terday morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock, in the
6SUb year of his age, after an illness of severe suf
fering. Com. Warrington was a native of Virgiuia.
He was born in November, 1782, and, alter pass
ing his academic course at William and Mary
College, entered the Navy in January, 1800; su
that he had served nearly fifty-two yea s. His
profession services and brilliant achievements
are interwoven with our history, and are conspicu
ous in some of its brightest pages. lie was al
most the only one left of that noble roll of brave
naval commanders who, In the war of 1812,
achieved so much glory for their country by
their brilliant victories agaiust an enemy till then
deemed innocib.o.
To high professional merit Com. W. added an
amiable disposition and a modesty which won
great personal esteem, and will make his loss sin
cerely regretted by the society in which ho
moved.

Strange Development of Incendiarism.
A correspondent of the Boston Traveller writes
from South Berwick (Me.) on the 8th that Benja
nin Stilling, a trader of that place of wealth and
standing, had been arraigned and bound over in
S4 000 bonds for hiring J. S. Wilkinson and J. C.
Pray to burn the Methodist chore!- in that place,
and also for aiding in bunting a barn, dwelling r
liouse, powder-house an academy, snd blowing up
the Baptist meeting-house, all in South Berwick,
a few mouths since. Wilkinson, mentioned above,
is the informer upon whose evidence he is charg
ed.. The inducements for committing these acts
are said to have connexion with the sale of liquor
Pray has also been held in bonds of 81 ,000, and
Andrew Joy.'who confessed to setting fire to the
house of Judge Hayes, at the instillation of Still
ing, was also held at $700. All the accomplices
happened to be drunk at the time of committing
tbe crimes. The development caused great ex
citement in the neighborhood, and it is said fur
ther that two of the incendiaries have beeu ar
rested in Dover, (N. H.)
FROM BUENOS AYRE3.
By the brig Sutton, Capt. Lefevre, from Buenos
Ayres, we have dates to the 18th :hf August.
The market at Buenos Ayres is completely over
stocked with all kinds of foreign importations.
The produce of the country was scarce, and at
very high prices, on account of the immense rains
that had fallen in and about that place, which
have caused the roads to be almost impassable.
The Government had sent troops to put down
Urquiza. Brazil is making thorough and active
preparations to invade the Argentinu territory
and to assist Urquiza ; but no action had taken
place as yet. The Hon. Mr. Pendleton, American
Charg d' Affaires, was daily expected at Buenos
Ayres, from Rio de Janeiro. Jonr. Com.
FIRE!
We regret to learn, that John R. Doby, Eq
of Lancaster District, S. O, had his Gin II iue
and 14 bales of cotton consumed on the night of
the 8d instant. The fire was discovered about 2
o'clock, and is supposed to be the work of an in
cendiary. Mr. Doby is certainly unfortunate. It
is only a few years since that he had his dwelling
house and considerable property destroyed in tbe
same manner. Charlotte Journal.

TOBACCO.
Tbe Boston Olive Branch has the following re
marks relative to the use of Tobacco.
"Tobacco has spoiled and utterly ruined thou
sands of boys, inducing a dangirous precocity,
developing tho passions, softening and weakening
tbo bones, and greatly injuring the spinal mar
raw, the brain, and the whole nervous fluid. A
boy who early and freely smokes, or otherwise
largely uses tobacco, never Is known to make a
man of much energy of character, and generally
lacks physical and muscular as well as mental
energy. To people older, who are uaturally ner
vous, and particularly to the phleraatic, tobacco
may be comparatively harmless, but even to these
it is worse than useless. Wo would particularly
warn boys who want to be any body in the world
to shun tobacco as a deadly poison."

A terrific clap of thunder, neither preceded
nor followed by any other, astonished the people
of East Dumfries, Canada, on Friday week. Some
men at work in a field, and without notice, were
thrown down by the lightning, and rendered for
a few seconds powerless, whilst the flash expend
ed Its power on a neighboring tree, which it shiv
ered and set on fire. The thunder lutstnntly fol
lowed the flash, and It was of the most awful des
cription. A Na.ow Escape. A n an named Berdue,
who was recently in the bands of . vigilant com
mittee in California, and came near being hung,
owing to an unfortquate resemblance to Stewart,
the convict, has been discharged from custody.
This man had several narrow escapes. First hq
escaped hanging by the mob at San Francisco,
was subsequently sentenced to death by a legally
constituted court, and again was sentenced to
fourteen years' imprisonment. It seems that he
wasguiitless of every oharg6 brought sgalnsthlm,
an! owed all his trouble to tho.close resemblance
in personal appearance to the convict above pa
med. Several witneasei swore most positively to
tbe-iduntlty of Berdue, but subsequently,, npbri
boing confronted with Stewart, the real culprit,
acknowledged ftelr error.
