A bEETCll.—by r- willis. I was called upon in n.y senior year to watch with an insane student. He was a man who had attracted a great deal of attention in col lege- he appeared in an extraordinary costume at the beginning of our Freshman Term, and wrote himself down us Washington Grey ling, f_ an unheard-of settlement somewhere beyond’ the Mississippi. His coat and other gear mi "ht have been the work of a Chickasaw tailor aided by the superintending taste of some white huntsman, who remembered faintly the outline of hanilunents he had not seen for half a century; it was a b >dv of green cloth, eked out with w.impun and otter-skin, and would have been ridiculous if it bad not encased one of the finest models of a manly frame that ever trod the earth. VV iii, close-curling black hail, a tint weither-brown*d complexion, Spanish fealuies (from his mother—a frequent physiognomy in the countries bordering on Spanish America.) and the port and lithe motion of a lion, he was a figure to I »ok upon in any disguise with warm admiration, lie was soon put into the hands of a tailor proper, and, with the facility which belong* t his c mnlrymen, became in a montlt the b-st dressed man in college. His manners were of a g-'nt!eman-like mildness, energetic, but courteous an 1 chivulresque, and, unlike most savages and all coins, he polished without losing his mark.” At the end of his fii st tei in. he would have been called a high bred gentle man at any court in Europe. The opening of tiis mind was almost as rapid and extraordinary. He seized every thing with an ardor and freshness that habit and difficulty never deadened. He was like a man "ho had tumbled into a new star, and was collecting knowledge for a world to which he was to re turn. The first in all games, the wildest in all adventure, the most distinguished even in ele gant societv f>r which the town is remarkable and unfailingly brilliant in his recitations and college perfoim mce*. he was looked upon as a sort of ad nimble phenomenon, and neither en vied nor oppo*ed in any thing. I have often thought, m looking on him. that his sensations at coining fresh fiom a wild. Western prairie, and at the first measure of hi* capacities with men of better advantage*, finding himself so uniformly superior, mu*t have been strikingly delightful. It i* a wonder In* never became ar rogant, but it was the lust foible of which he could have been accused. We were reading hard for the honors in the senior year, when Greyling suddenly lo*t his reason. Heh id not been otherwise ill, and had, apparently, in the rnid-t of high health gone mad. at a'moment's warning. Th\v to tipjit !»un. 1 lie connnp ment to which he was at first subjected, howe ver. was th night inexpedient; he seemed to justify th ir lenity by the gentlest behaviour when at liberty. He seemed oppres-ed by a heai t-breaking melancholy. M e took our turns in guarding and watching with him. and it was upon niv first night of duty that the incident happened which 1 have lure endeavored to in troduce. r it was source like a vigil with a sot nnn. Tor our patient went regularly to bed, and usu ally -le *t we.I I t>o* my Lucretius” and the R .,,k of Martyr*.” which was juon—your own blue eye, dear Mary. The alt-glorious arch of heaven was a mas.* of sparkling stars. Greyling slept, and I, wearied ol the cold phi losophy of the Latin poet, took to my Hook of Martyrs.” I read on, and read on. The col lege clock struck, it seemed to me, the quarters, rather than the hour*. Time flew: it was three. Horrible! nm*t Imrnble!” 1 started from my chair with tin* exclamation, and felt as if my culp were s**lf lifted from my head, it was a description in t:>e li mowing faithfulness of the 1 ngnnge f .n.feu time, painting almost tlie ar t.culate gro m* «»l an impaled Christian. I clasp ed the old iron-bound book, and rushed to the window as if my heart was stifling for fresh air. Again at the fire. The large walnut faggots had bn nt to :i bed of bright coals, and l sat gaz ing into it. totally unable to shake off the fear ful incubus from my breast The martyr was there—on the very hearth—with the stakes i scnpiifuilv crossed in hi* bodv; and as the large coal* crack d asunder and revealed the bright ness w it hi it. I seemed to follow the nerve-lend ing instrument from hip toshouldei, and suffer with him pmg for pang, a* if the bin ning ltd- i ness were the pools of his fevered blood.” “Aba!” ,_, i It stiuck on my ear like the cry of an exult-, ing li»*nd “Aha!” u r, 1 I shrunk into the chair as the awful cry was repeated, and looked slowly and with difficult courage over my shoulder. A single fierce eye was fixed upon me from the mass of bed-clothes, and, for a moment, the relief from the fear of some supernatural presence, was like water to a parched tongue. I sank back relieved into the chair. I There was a rustling immediately in the bed, and, starting again, l found the wild eyes of my patient fixe.l e people exercise over this species of venomous snake remains no lon ger a mystery when its habits are known. It is a remarkable peculiarity in the cobra di capello, and I believe in most poisonous reptiles of this class, that tney have an extreme reluctance to put into operation the deadly powers with which they are endowed. The cobra scarcely ever bites unless excited by actual injury or extreme provocation; and even then, belore it darts up on its aggressor it always gives him timely no tice of its design, not to be mistaken. It dilates the crest upon its neck, which a large flexible membrane, having on the upper surface two black circular spots, like a pair of spectacles— waves its head to and fro with a gentle undula tory motion, the eye sparkling with intense lus tre, and commences a hiss so loud as to be beard at a considerble distance; so that the juggler al ways has warning when it is perilous to ap proach his captive. The snake never bites while the hood is closed, and so long as this is not erected it may be approached and handled with impunity. Even when the hood is spread, while the creature continues silent there is no danger: its fearful hiss is at once the signal of aggression and of peril. '‘‘Though the cobra is so deadly when under excitement, it is nevertheless astonishing to see how readily it is appeased even in the highest state of exasperation, and this merely by the droning music with which its exhibitors seem to charmlt. It appears to be fascinated by the dis cordant sounds that issue from their pipes and tomtoms.” To all such armed creatures as tne conra aforesid. we should be tempted to use the greet ing ol the melancholy Jacques—“God be with you; let’s meet as little as we can.” No less cu rious than the above are the accounts of the ele phant fights at Lucknow, which, however, we must pass to come to another well-authenticat ed marvel, which casts the exploits of any other glutton we ever heard of far into the shade. •‘At a village not above eighteen miles from Benares, w here we halted for a day, we were visited by a gaunt, grim-looking Hindoo of] some celebrity in the neighborhood by his capability, of devouring a sheep at a single meal. He w as a tall, bony poison somew hat past the prime of life, with a thin, wiry frame, and a countenance of the most imperturbable equa nimity. though as ugly ns a sheep eater might be expected to be. He offered, for a few rupees, to devour an entire sheep, if we would pay for the animal as well as for the different accessories ofthe meal. I “There was something so extraordinary in the proposal, that we willingly acquiesced. We ac cordingly prepared to witness this marvellous feat, by purchasing the largest sheep we could find, which weighed when prepared for cook ing, just thirty, two pounds. We purchased it for one rupee, or twenty-two pence. “All being now ready, the carnivorou Ladra commenced his extraordinary least. Having cut off the sheep’s hpad with a single blow of his sabre and jointed the body in due form, fie se parated all the meat from the bones, the whole quantity to be devoured amounted to about twenty pounds. This meat he minced very fine, forming it into balls about the size of a small fowl’s egg. first mixing it with plenty of spice and curry powder. As soon as the whole was prepared, he fried some of the balls over a fire, which he had previously kindled at the root of a i tree,eating frying till the whole wereconsumed. At intervals he washed down the meat with co pious potations of ghee, which is sometimes so rancid as to be quite disgusting: and this hap pened to be the case now. After his prodigious meal, the performer was certainly less active than he had formerly been. His 'meagre body had acquired a considerable degree of rotundi ty, and although he declared that lie felt not the slightest inconvenience, it was evident that he had taken a3 much as he could hold, and more than wras agreeable. He acknowledged that he could not manage to eat more than tw ice in one week, and t.iat was oftener than lie should like todoit.”—Oriental Annual. VERY LATE FROM JAMAICA. Py the arrival at Philadelphia of the brig Pi j lot, capt. Milton, the editor of the U. States Ga I zette, has been put in possession by the kind ness of a friend, of tiles of the Kingston Chroni cle to the 28th ult. The great matter for speculation, is the con ductor the late slaves; and on this question the Governor and Legislature of the island are clearly at issue. A committee of the Legislature has had un derexamination a number of property holders, as to the effects of the new apprentice bill. It1 seems to be the opinion, that under some kind of management the system might have succeeded; but under existing circumstances, there ap pears no hope of success, and the cultivation of, sugar must be given up. The Legislature sent a men orial, requesting 'the Governor to appoint special justices, or lo cal magistrates, to aid in preserving the peace of the island. In reply, his excellency mention ed that such appointments might be constdeted in opposition to his instructions from the Colo nial Department. He referred to the evidence given before the committee as contradictory.— The Chronicle is very severe upon the Govern- j or, and appears to think the endeavors of the House to preserve the pence of the island, will be unavailing. In that paper of the 29th, it is observed: “The efforts of the colonists are paralysed, and at every turn instructions are flung into their faces’ tints adding insult to injury. ‘The instructions of the Colonial office are of more importance to me than the safety of the Island of Jamaica!!* This is the answer the Governor should have returned, and notspoken about ‘co operation.’ The Assembly has repeatedly mani fested an earnest desire to co-operate; hut their offers of co-operation have been rejected with scorn, reproach, and insult!!” In St. Jago on the 21*t of.Nov., eleven blacks, convicted of insubordination and insolence to wards their employers, were taken to the market place and publicly whipped, under the direction of the special magistrate. A motion was about to be made, *o petition the King to repeal the non-intercourse act be tween Jamaica and ^t. Domingo. A Baptist clergyman named Abbot, was brought before the Legislature to testify, but po sitively refused, and was committed to prison, whence he was once or twice brought by a writ Of habeas corpus, tint as of en returned. The Chronicle of the 28th ult. says. ‘•We understand that very unpleasant ac counts have been received Ironi St. Ann’s.— The nature of them we have not yet heard, but it appears Hint they were considered of such importance by the Governor as to require him to despatch an express with orders. It appeals to us quite clear, that the executive has received “instructions” from the Colonial office, not to; adopt any strong nr vigorous measures until blood be actually shed. Be this us it may, the day of retribution is approaching, and ministers will be compelled to yield to the demands of the colonists. Since w riting the foregoing, we have been in formed that the apprentices on two estates in St. Ann’s, (one of them named Windsor) have struck work, and are at this moment in a state of rebellion. Should this be tin.* case, in w hat light j can the unfortunate inhabitnntsof Jamaica view the line of conduct pursued by the Executive?— When we reflect upon the dangers with w hich we are threatened, and consider thnt the actual and lamented state of the country has repeatedly been submitted to the consideration of his Excel lency the Governor—that he has been seriously advised, nay, urged by our Assembly to adopt the only means by which the island might yet be saved from impending ruin, and|perceive that his Excellency is still, even at the tlcrenlh hour, apparently deaf and callous to the representa tions and advice of tho^e who value their lives and priiperfy, we cannot but deplore whatever his Excellency’s “secret instructions’, may he. that he ever came to Jamaica—for we have every reason to fear, that the apprehensions entertain ed and expressed by the Assembly are now on the eve of being realized.” Liberia Elections.—Tim Liberia Herald of September 26tli, contains the proclamation of Governor I’inney, proclaiming the result of tlm late annual election of the several towns in the colony. The following are the higher officers chosen:— Nathaniel Brander, Vice Agent. Counsellors—John Day. J J. Roberts, for Mon rovia; T. Pritchard, M. A.

TheCotton Crop.—Accounts havegained cur rency through several mercantile journals in dif ferent parts of the U. S., setting forth that the present Cotton crop will be as large or larger than the crop of last year. We deem it of vast consequence that the pub lie mind should be correctly informed upon a subject of such paramount importance toevery one in this community. And for this purpose the subscribers have met together, exchanged their views and opinions, and have come to the folio wr ing'conclusions, viz: 1st. That'the present crop of Uplands through out this State will fall short ol last year fully one third, and as far as we are informed, the deficien cy will tie about the same in each of our sister states NT. Carolina and Georgia, 2d. That in many sections of the State, the i crop is already all gathered from the fields, and in no part of it is there as much to pick out as there was at the same period last year, j although from the unfavorable fall, the Cotton commenced to open much later this season than I he last. 3d. That of the present crop already two thirds have changed hands, and that not over ,ne fourth will remain in the hands of the grower bv the first of January next, the usual proportion bein'* one half. Very few of the planters have been°liolding back or storing, but on the contra ry are bringing it to market as fast as it is gath ered. About this period last year there were 15, D00 bales stored in this place. At this time we be lieve the quantity stored falls much short of 1000 bthS; That the sale of Cotton Bagging and Bale Rope is so much diminished, as must con vince every one ot a great deficiency. 5th. The above conclusions have been form ed from a mass of testimony derived from plan ters, correspondents, travellers and our own per sonal observations, and we are unwilling that it should go abroad as the exclusive opinion ot the merchants of this place only, but that it be substantiated by gentlemen of the highest re spectability from all sections of our state. Resolved, Therelare, that the opinion of a Tew of the principal planters from the different dis tricts of our State be obtained in regard to the extent of the present crop. Resolved. That the same be published in each of the papers of this place, and that a copy be sent to the offices of the Charleston Courier and Mercury, with a request to give it an inser tion. _ (Signed.) David Ewart, Chairman. James Smith, Secretary. Columbia (S. C.) Dec. 12. [To the above statement is attached the names of Gov. McDuffie, and many planters from all parts of South Carolina From the Washington Correspondent of the Charleston Courier. The families which have come to this city for the session, in the expectation of spending a gay winter, are likely, so far us parties consti tiite eaiety. to go away disappointed. It is al ready given out, that there will be but little of that kind of gaiety. The family of Mr. For syth is in mourning, so also is the family of Mr. Cass, and I believe some other of the fashiona ble leaders are disqualified by the same cause from mixing in gay life for the present. I he consequence of this will be to throw a gloom over our city in the eyes of those who only visit it for the purpose of participating in tho>e soir ees, balls and entertainments, which usually characterize our winters. Our confectioners, milliners and dress makers will suffer in some degree from this cau>e. But one good effect may be anticipated In the absence of ihose gay and crowded parties, where the heart ne ver exhibits itself, our citizens and the members will be induced to draw nearer f each other in those social parties wheie friendships are usu ally formed, and in which those ties are created which make human beings share each others joys and sorrows. Could we be sure that this result would always ensue, it would be a public benefit if our great parties were altogether abol ished. The Report from the Secretary on the sub ject of the re organization of the Treasury De partment, lias bten presented, and is gone to tile printer. I understand that it pioposes to abolish the office of the Second Comptroller, now filled bv Mi Thornton, and also the office of Second Auditor, now filled by Mr. Lewis. It is supposed that the>e gentlemen will be tiaus lated to'higher offices. Fmther, it is rumored *iji}f the abolition of the office of Solicitor of *i, Treasure recommended, alio that the du ties of this office wiii be transferred to the At torney General, w hose compensation is propo sed to he placed on an equality with that of the Heads of the Executive Departments. Another suggestion contained in the Report is, that the different Auditors be arranged to the several Departments, according to the routine of their respective duties; at present, they are ail attach ed to the Treasury Department. It is not pro bable that there will be any definite action on the subject of the Report at this Session. JAMES S. GUNNELL, M. D.

TO THE EDITOK OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. In the few reflections which I design to bestow upon the remarks of your correspondent “A Virginian I here premise, that I disclaim all jn. tention or desire of entering into an angry, news paper controversy of this old and oft discussed subject; to wit—our Corporation debt and its panacea—retrocession. Jf the expectation was originally entertained, that the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, could and would be finished to the Coal Hanks in two or three years, it certainly was an unreasonable expectation, and one which was not generally entertained;—but suppose it was; is the great utility of the work lessened be cause it is now ascertained that a longer time is required for its completion? The time necessa ry to effect wotks of such magnitude, rests in the mere speculative opinions of the Engineers who may be called upon to survey the route, as to the difficulties over which and through which it must pass, and these difficulties are not, nei ther can they be, entirely foreseen or accurately estimated, even by the most skilful and practised Engineer, before the work is completed. That the Canal will be completed, and that too within less than three years to coine, to the Coal Pits, hut little doubt is entertained, except by those who predicted its failure at its tenj in ception, and who for consistency and still more for opinion sukestill continue ol that mind. But suppose we were retroceded to Virginia— would the work progress more rapidly? Has not the Baltimore Convention, composed of some of the first men in the Country, invoked the aid of Virginia, as well as Maryland, Penn sylvania and Baltimore, and also the Congress of the United States? and so have we, in like manner, asked the aid of Congress, and when it shall refuse, it will then be time enough to complain. Now, therefore, if hard begging and general begging can complete the work,we have a right to conclude, that it will not and cannot stand still; and if it is, as no doubt it is, a matter of deep and abiding interest to Virginia, she has ears to hear, eyes to perceive, and public spirit enough to promote its completion, whether Al exandria is a part of her Dominion, or a part of the federal Territory. But we are gravely told, that Virginia expected great advantages from the location of the Seat of the general Go vernment, where it now is, and that she ceded u«, w ith $120 000 in the bargain, but that in this expectation, she, as well as the people ceded, have been greatly disappointed. What advan tages did Virginia expect, beyond what she has received? Has she not been from that time down to the present moment, first in the hearts and first in the confidence of the whole people] And what did we expect beyond what has been given? Are not our whole judiciary, generally speaking, paid by the United States? Are we not now. and have we not been for the last twenty years, exempt from direct taxation and from all other taxes, except such as we volunta rily impose upon ourselves? And are we not sale in our persons,property and lives? And if we still hve under barbarous and uncertain laws," who can be blamed but ourselves? Surely not Congress—for no law, however insignificant or unimportant,can be offered for the consideration or action of Congress, that will not meet with opposition,more or less. And it is this very diver sity of sentiment, feeling and interest which ve ry properly induces Congress to withhold itsac ti m. And hence, a divided and discontented people, will forever fail in every attempt to bet ter their moral and political condition. But where is the evidence that V irginia ced ed us from selfish motives?—in the expectation of particular State benefits and advantages? Where, I ask, is the evidence of such expecta tions?— no wheie; ami God forbid! that it ever should appear: f r its presence would tarnish, while its absence tends only to brighten and ex alt still more highly, the disinterestedness and the well earned fame of this enlightened and patriotic State. Let it not, then, be said or in sinuated that she had any motives in making the cession, or any objects w hatever in contem plation, incompatible with her high character and standing for patriotism. What did she ex pect, and what did she ask, when she ceded to j he United States her 'immense possessions in the Northwestern county? Nothing but the ho nor and the welfare of the nation;—and yet. we are told of her disappointments touching the ces sion of the little Town of Alexandria, incluJing hat warlike tribe, the "Cooneys"'.'. Can ti c in elligent people of Alexandria li-ten to such statements ami assertions? If I am not greatly mistaken, they will not—they cannot—and they Might not. Next, in order, is an attack upon the Judge* jf the District, who are roundly charged with being ‘‘careless of the interests of this portion )f the District.” Here, again, is another «v* Jence of bold and gratuitous assertion—an as .ertion as unwarranted as it is unmerited;—but, uckily, the character of these venerated citi zens does not need my feeble aid for support; it ■ests more firmly in the respect and confidence )f their fellow-citizens, where, fortunately for he honor of humanity, neither passion, preju Jice or envy, can successfully assail it.

Jewah. December 23. __ SsBimox Case.—A case of seduction, in which Elizabeth Park was Plaintiff, ami Heze kiah Lyon defendant, was tried before Judge Edwards, at the Circuit Court, on Tuesday and Wednesday last. The action was brought to recover dam ige> f>r loss of service of the I lain* tiffs daughter, who had been seduced under promise of manage— the plaintiff living in the village called Saw pits, estchesler comity, where the defendant temporarily resided (luring the cholera of 1832, at which period an intuitu- j cy was formed, which eventuated in thebiith of a'child of the parties. The defendant was .proved to have visited the seduced till he ascer- tabled what the result would he, and then en- j tirelv abandoned her I The testimony having closed. Mr. David Gra ham commenced his argument for the defen-. dant. It was a fine specimen of forensic inge- j nuitv, as was also that of Mr. Ogden Hoffman, j who'followed him; the latter, however, being distinguished by eloquence too characteristic to need remark. Messrs King and Staples con cluded for tin* plaintiff with overwhelming ef fect and the judge commenced his charge.

Not for a precedent, but from the actual cir cumstances under which parties are placed, and the necessity, on the part of those who are op posed to the corruptions of the present adminis tration, and wish to arrest the downward ten dency of things, by opposing the succession of Mr. Van Buren also, of commencing at once, and in earnest, the Wr'ork of union and organiza tion, we trust the members of the Virginia Le gislature forming the Whig party in the Gene ral Assembly, will, before they separate, agree to recommend to the consideration of the Peo ple of the United States, some wise, virtuous and able statesman, for next President. The lead of Virginia will be followed, because her course will be lofty, patriotic and honorable.— Let the press throughout the Old Dominion fol low’ up the suggestion. We have received the December number of Mr. Homans’s Naval and Military Magazine. It i is, as usual, very neatly printed, and contains a great variety of most interesting information to Officers ot both branches of the service. We have repeatedly recommended this work to pub lic patronage, and the present number induces us again to call the attention of those most in terested. to its merits._ Massachusetts Election.—A second trial for election of Members of Congress in the 4th and 10th Districts of Massachusetts toofc place on Monday* In the 4th District, the returns from 21 towns gave for Hoar 1/63, Lincoln 59S, Rus sell 565. It is stated the towns to be heard from will not vary the result, and that there is no doubt of Mr. Hoar’s election. (Mr. Hoar is the candidate of the Whigs.) In the 10th District there is again «o choice; the vote being, Mr. Baylies 2409, Mr. Borden (anti-mason) 2502. scattering 113. On the former trial the vote was for Baylies 2451, Borden 2504. scattering 134.

Improving the hint suggested by the fact of the supeiiot ity of “live” feathers over those plucked from the dead fowl, we are told that a Mr. Entz, of Cam bridge, itt that State, has succeeded in the ex periment of domesticating the wild otter, and rendering it a source of profit by the fur picked from its body. It is added that the tame otters yield two crops a year, and that the quality of the fur is superior iri fineness and gloss to that taken from the skin of the dead animal. Mr. E. is going extensively into the business of taming otters, muskrats, &c. for their live fur. His es timate of the annual profit of an otter, at the present prices of furs, is about fourteen dollars.
