The Acadia or America is in her fourteenth day. We set no time for the United States. It 1s im- possible to tell when she sailed. The Acadia may arnve at Boston to-day. She is due, but she has undoubtedly had stormy weather to contend with; and we learn, by telegraph, that the wind blew quite freshly at Boston, yesterday. The Guerilla Warfare of Pollties. Asthe day of decision for the Presidency ap- proaches, the conflietbetween the friends of the dif. ferent candidates waxes warmer aad warmer. It begins to assume, in a great measure, some ot the bitte ,a good deal of the vulgarity, and very much of the unprincipled nature of that de- scription of warfare generally called guerilla, m which the lowest and most unprincipied vaga- bonds of a country, carry on—nominally for the public interest, but generally for the purpose of re- plenishing their own pockets, and filling therrown paunche We have already given some neh specimens of this mode of political guerilla war- fare, in the examples furnished by the Philosopher Ruchie, of Washington, and Chevalier Wikoff of New York. These two guerillas, through the different journals, direct their shots principally against General Taylor ; but there are, on the other side, combatants as fierce, as unprincipled, as un- just, as absurd, as the old Grandfather Whitehead at Washington, or the ex-valet of Fanny Elssler, in New York. This mode of conducting a political campaign, and these attacks on the private feelings and gen- ulemanly character of the candidates, ought to be put down by the common sense and common humanity of the American people. A great and generous people will select their chief magistrate on principles of public pohey; and it would be de- grading to suppose that any candidate, for any great office in this mighty republic, posseased a private character, or had accumulated a private fortune, that rendered it necessary to say a word that was not commendable and honorable to him, as an individual, a man, and acitizen. Yet, un. fortunately, there is a certain portion of those po- litical combatants, en both sides, utterly destitute of all principle that ought to regulate and guide the conduct of gentlemen, either in public or pri- vate life. Among some of those strange attacks which have been made on the several candidates, or the singular developements brought out by the gue- rilla editors of the day, we find the following state- ment, which is going the rounds of the provincial press :— Weavrn or rir Canpinates.—The New Vork Day Book gives ov estimate of the estates possessed uy the feveral candidates for Presidentand Vice President. It is as foilowe -— Taylor........ $69,000 or $80,000 ee. oe 1,000,009 Van Boren, 290.000 Fillmore. 15.000 Butler. . 29.000 C.F, Adame. ... 500,000 Besides « fortune of not less than $ bis wife will, in the ordinary course of nature, soon come in possession. Mr. Adame inherited all or near Jy ali of bie property, and Mr. Cass acquired hbis* while in the service ofthe government, If a candidate for the presidency were to be se- leeted according to the length, breadth, or depth of his purse, there might be some chyect 1n making these investigations, and bringing forth those eu- rious facts ; but such a taste springs not from mere curtosity alone, but from the degraded, vulgar, and demo ed te of, the guerilla politicians at- tached to all p s throughout the eountry, ema- nating from a depth of infamy which we are doesnot reach the great body of the 4 people. But this siogular statement, exhiditi vate fortunes of the various candid } the pri- , 18 not so bad as others that we can produce. The New York E>press, published in this city, 1s now a | very war upporter of the election of General Taylor, and hestile to the success of General Cass. | It is true that this unique journal, a few months | ago, was bitterly cpposed to General Taylor, and ridiculed his pretensions, in every 8 that time, it has ce ¢ ; but since trived to turn a short corner, wattione €or, tree conte | Woodbridge was doing Lewis Case's duties at Detroit, SORNIN g BOLTON be, | and was paid for doing them out of the tressury of the United States, several years afterwards, while Mr. Case was Sec: retary of War.

In 1526, Lewis Cass, as Governor of Michigan, received $2,000 for his salary as Governor, $3,000 a8 I dian Superintendent. extra services. in negotiating treati meanwhile, did hia duties as Governor, and doing them by the War Department, F 8 Was Seoretary. ‘VIIL To 1837, Lewis Casa was nominally Minister at Paris, and on that pretence receiving $9.000 a year from the United States, while be was really cruising about the Mediterranoan, in armed shins ofthe United and travelling in the East. The secretary of ‘ges the United States the salary of charge d'affaires, and Commodore Elliott rings the expenses of entertaining the Minister's fam)ly, into bis anousl accounts. Here we find, expressed in detail, whether true or false, what seems to be a matter of htile conse- quence—the various modes by which the fortune of Gen. Cass has been made. The journal in question fortifies those facts and charges, by re- ferring to certain official authorities and vouchers; and winds up the whole, by exhibiting them as a specimen of the “rapacity” of General Cass, the “avarice” of General Cass, his “insatiable passion for money, money, money,” besides adding that he had large land speculations in the West, to an extent beyond its knowledge or imagination. As a counterpart to this mean and contemptible con- duct towards Gen. Cass, we have seen, tn the jour- nals hestile to Gen. Taylor, similar statements of the means and modes by which he also has accu- mulated bis fortune, out of the proceeds of Ins pay and perquisites from government, during the long life which he has spent in the service of his country. Here is another disgraceful specimen of the mode in which those guerillas, without principle and without manners, conduct a great election, among a free and generous people. We class the conduct of those journalists, James and Erastus Brooks, in point of taste and moral feeling, as gen- tlemen and politicians, in the same list which is headed by Chevalier Wychoff, the conductor and owner of the Democratic Review, and formerly the maneger of Fanny Elssler’s affairs, during her theatrical career in this country. If General Cass is tobe elected President of this great republic, let itbe done on the principles and measures which he represents, and is expected 'o carry out during his term of office. What has his private life, his private habits, or his pecuniary affairs, to do with his prinesples or policy, or his measures of action ? Lewis Cass, if he has received emoluments from government, performed sufficient services for them, in the same way as General Taylor, and all others, have done before him. With the exception of Mr. Adams, every one of the candidates has been in the service of the government, and had received moneys from the public treasury, With regard to the private life and private character of General Cass, we believe that even his enemies will ac- knowledge that it is pure, honorable, and unspotted. Itcan benefit no cause, and least of all that of General Taylor, to treat and write of General Cass, as we would of the veriest pickpocket up for trial before Recorder Scott at the next term of the Ses. sions. The New York Express, which degrades and disgraces journalism, by resorting to such a system as it has assumed, 1s working in its voca- tion of dirt and filth and unprincipled conduct. It is but six months ago since it treated Gen. Taylor with nearly the same courtesy and respect with which it now treats General Cass; and before six months more, if General Taylor, its candidate, should Le elected, and should refuse to be the agent for the gratification of its avarice or ambition, in the distribution of office or emolument, the same journal may return and repeat its former tirades against that distinguished man, now its candidate and the object of its admiration. The Chevalier Wikoff’s mode of conducting a controversy, may do in matters of dispute among ballet dancers and their valets, but never should be encouraged among an intelligent people, or adopted by a respectable and well conducted newspaper, having any pretensions to character, feeling, or gentle- manly propriety Horace Gruriry anp Gametine.—The other day Horace Greeley, the Fourierite philosophet and Irish patriot, indulged himself with recom- mending the lectures of Green, the ex-gambler, in which he exposes the tricks of gamblers and of gambling. He says:— To secnre good without doing good—to acquire | wealth without creating any—to obtain something for nothing—this is the erring aspiration of bulf maakind. Ignorant of the elemental law which unites labor in- dissolubly with benificent scquisition, or madly hoping to circumvent omnipotence aod evade that law, the great majority are xt oll times intent on acquiring Wealth and enjoying luxury virtually, if not evowediy, at the expense of others, “whey would fare sumpta ously, but on the products of others’ toil, not consider- ing that exercise (more properly exertion.) is as neces- sary to the enjoyment they covet, asthe viands which alone evgross their atteution. Yet, without the ade- quate and well balanced exertion of all man’s powers and faculties, appetite pails, beaith fails, and the fancied enjoyment loses its zest, its essence. What remaine, ie “Like Bead but worn t This, man in his blindness, his grossnese, his greedi- ness, Will not see, or reeing will not realize and lay to heart. Hence the passion for gambling, which cor- rupts trade. degrades labor, and poisons the very life blood of rociety, drawing family after family to utter wreck and ruin. But though gambling ean never be wholly eradicated un'i! our sccin! laws and maxima shall be re-cast in the mould of » purer igher wisdom, yet some of its barer and more fatal forms and manifestations may be measurably, if not wholly, abolished. There will still be gambling in stocks, in goods, in landa, in the chances of peace or war, &c. &o., but the grosser and unredeemed exhibitions of the vice must flee before the light shed by inquiry and demonstration. This is all good, very good. Gambling in stocks, in goods, 1n lands, in polities, are all denounced; yet there is one little item of gambling which is omitted in the enumeration, and that is—gambling in Irish patrioticm. Within the last few months a | number of distinguished moral gentlemen—great speakers, and some of them ilaent orators—got to- gether and formed themselves into a directory. Dy means of nicely tinted cards of eloquence and patiiousin, they contrived to win in one pull about forty thousand dollars, most of it wrung from the pockets of poor Irish laborers and washerwomen, with the exception of a bishop, who contributed his five hundred dollars. Now, we call this, un* der all the circumstances of the case, something hke gambling 10 Irish patriotism.

This lady has a fast place ia the regards of those who nightly witness her perform- ances. M, Monplaisir has also fully established him- self'in the ‘appectntion of those who nightly witasss his performances. The peculiar points of this ballet Dave been noticed at length heretofore, and need no repetition here. The parts were all excellently sus. tained, and met with due applause. Previous to the ballet, the furce of “ His Last Legs’? was performed Mr. Barret, as O'Callaghan, was inimitab'e. giving to the pert all the humor which abounds in it, without descending to the gross immodesties aud double-en- tendres, which are sometimes used in it to bring down the house, Mr. Stafford, as Rives; Mra. Clark, as Mrs. Montague; Mrs. Dyott, as Julia, all acquitted them- telves well, and made the piece as it ought to be, a laughable prelude to the principal piece of the evening. Bowrry Tuxatae.—The splendid romantic drama of the Naind Queen” was played, last evening, at this house forthe first time for some weeks. It is a piece nd the appearance nd pit, last evening, was quite encourag- ing to the performers, as they were well filled. Misa ‘Taylor was the Naiad Queen, and J. H. Hall the Bold Kopight Sir Rupert; Winan’s was the comic character, and as Baptiste, the Squire of Rupert, he was much ap- plauded. The whole piece, for beauty of scenery, splendor of the dresses, kc. can compare most favor- ably with any piece of the kind now acted. Previous to the rpectacle, the farce of the “ Young Scamp” was Jayed, Miss Denin taking the part of tse mischie: bue fearless and true hearted boy, This youn; tioned in the most favorable y rms, see ber, we feel assured that she we have often and every time will become eminent in her profession. The daucing of Signora Ciocca and Signor Neri is ene of the great features of the evening at the Bowery; they are. truly, the most elegant and graceful dancers that we have ever seen, and their dance of the “ Bolero de Cadiz” is a most utiful performance. The cheers and ap- plause which they obtain every evening shows the ap- preciation they meet with from the audiences at the Bowery. ‘Those who wish to seo most graceful dancing will be fully satisfied bya visit to the Bowery. TI drama of “Brian Boroihme” concluded the evening's entertainmonts. It isa most beautiful drama, and was highly applauded. ‘To night, the same admirable Dill will be repeated, and we have no doubt there wiil bea crowded houce on the occasion, Broapway TreatRe.—This theatre, last night, pre- sented an appearance as flattering to Mr. Forrest, os it was encouraging to the proprietors and manager, as an index of the manner in which genius is felt and acknowledged, and a high and cultivated clays of taste in the dramatic art appreciated. It was no ordinal occasion that filled this elegant aud spacious hoi with a brilliant and discriminating throng of auditors: and the selection of “Spartacus,” for the benefit of Mr. Forrest, proved a source of attraction that it would have required the most apathetic to resirt. To pane gyrize a performance, which has universally distia- guished Mr. Forrest, and contributed an additional evergreen wreath to the many that encircle bis brow, would now be a work of supererogation. As an artist of original views, who thinks for himself, and shapes out what he conscientiously believes to be the true course, he shows in his nervous and vigorous conception of the character he assumes, that no mouth servility is the tribute he intends to pay to the genius of the author, Impressive and forcible end if atintervals too much enthusiasm and energy are displayed to euit the modern spirit ef dramatic refinement, or brought forward with a surerflous pro- minepce, yet the whole is distinguished by such a bold and masterly spirit as to win applause The Broad- way, last night, bore ample testimony to the merits of Mr. Forrest. The house wasa dense mass, from the floor to the dome. comprising the most faehionable and discriminating audience that has ever filled its capa- cious and luxurious benches. At the close of the per- formance—in which Mr. Forrest was admirably sus- tained by Mr, Dyott, as Phavarius, Miss Wallack, as Julia, and the other actors on the occasion—this gen- tleman wes called before the curtain. and in a short, and scarcely audible eddrese, acknowledged the dis- tinguished euccess that for twenty years had greeted his efforts ; now especially, during his present engage- ment at the Broadway, and intimated his hope of forming a second engagement with the manager, This evening, Sheridan Knovles’s popular play of the “ Hunchback” will be repressnted, with the new farce of * Kiesing Goes by Favor,” in which the stock com- pany will appear; and the public will be gratified to jJearn that Mr. Collins, the popular vocalist and Irish comedian, is underlined for Mondayevening. The ad- mirable arrangements of this establishment reflect the highest credit pon the proprietors, for the exterior rystem of the house; while equal praise is due to the manager, for the prompt and efficient manner in which theinterior economy of the stage is ro organized as to admit of no complaints for the delay so generally in- flicted upon the audience, between the acts of the performances. Narioxat Turatar.—The drama of the “GoldenFar- mer” was peformed last evening, at this house, Mr. Chanfrau taking the part of the Farmer, and a most interesting performance it was. Mr. C acted most admirably. His agony of remorse and horror at the situation into which he is plunged by his return to bis vicious courses, was well done, and the whole hous seemed to sympathize with the unfortunate fate of th Golden Farmer. Mr. Chanfrau was much applaude throughout the piece. Miss Mestayer, as the Farmer's wife.jwas very good; and Herbert's Harry Hammer, the drunken auctioneer, and Burke's Jimmy Twitcber, with his immortal “vel, vot ov it.” amused the audience very much. The famous scene of the garden wall and the discovery of the) robbery through Jimmy and Hammer's biundering mistakes, were very well managed. The “Mysteries and Miseries of New York,” wos the next piece, and it went off with the usual cclat. It geema that the public can never have enough of this pi Here it has been acted every evening in succession, for nearly a month, and still the house is crowded in every part, at an early hour every evening. We do not wonder at it, as the piece itself is ajmost interesting and amusing one, ‘and most capitally acted. The new farce of the “Pretty Girls of Stillberg,” concluded the entertainments, which, altogether, cave the greatest satisfaction, The same bill will be repeated this evening. and no pleas- ter place to pats a few hours can bei found than the ‘ational. During the coming week several new pieces will be produced. No one can say that theatricals are not flourishing in New York. Benton's Tuearre —Under the great name and re- yutation of Mr. Burton; with the skill and ability of the management; the execllent selection of pieces, cad liberal scale on which everything is got up, this thea- tre bas alrendy risen to a first class. name and reputa- tion, and is nightly filled. “ The Spirit of Air,’ which was perfermed lest night, is the best picce of the kind weeversaw. Itis,indeed, a beautiful thing. Young folks, old folks, all folks, would be amused and delighted with it. The Harlequin tricks, &c., are most amu- fing. In fact, it is a holyday piece of the first merit — the machinery is very complete, The Lehman family deeerve the pablicencoursgement. Mile. Mathilde and Mile. Adelaide are beautiful artiste, ‘The former need not grieve ata little ambiguity of vision, for the cients, who were judges of beauty, always repres Venur with the fame defect. ‘The perfection of the Fallet is now to be sven at Burton's, In addition to many other extraordinary attractions, t! evening, Burton hinself appears as Pillicoddy. Verbum sat. Ninio's, Aston Prack.—This delightful place of ded last evening, to witness former, Mr. H. Placide, as“Grandfather and surely we never saw him perform the old Grancfether with more feeling, or with better eflect upon the audience; in short, he was Grand- father Whitehend, and nothing else, and 60 thought the many admirers, \f we may judge from the un- bounded applaure he receiyed,and deservedly 60, Mr. end Mrs Cherles were very good, and in fact the whole piece went off in most excellent style. The comedy of d i was very good. Miss leabel Dickinson, aa Sir Charles Coldstream, kept the house in a continued good humor, from the admirable manner in which she personated the dashing young buck, proving herself to be an capable of wearing the breeches as well as she doer the petticoats, The entertainments concluded th the comic ketch of “Mr. and Mra, White.” in which Mr. T. Placide, as Peter White, was well re- cvived. To-nicht the ‘Comedy of Errors’? will be pro- duced. in which Mesers. H. P.acide and T. Placids will take the two Dremics. We adviee those who wish a good teat to go carly, ae much fun is instore, and, no doubt, a crowded house will be the consequence. Tanvnsscre.—The concert last evening, in behalf of the French Benevolent Society, was attended by a | large and fasbionable arsemblage. The entertain | ments commenced with an overture, composed by Arditi, which was executed by the orchestra with great musical precision and harmony, Thearia from “I Lombarde,” received «il tbe skill and effect which the fine bars voice of Novilli gould give toit, Next camo the grand duo for the violin and double bass, which | was played with such musical aclence, sweetness of tone. and thrilling harmony, by Arditiand Bottesini, that repeated bravos followed its exveution. Madam Laborde wae next introduced in an aréa from “Les pants de la Courenne,” which afforded her an opportunity of displaying the eweet tones of @ fine soprano voice, which ‘he managed with great sicill and government. Her style is much ef the same character as that of Cinti Damareux “Ly Childhood's Home,” a Fweet romanza wasrondered no less sweet bythe tasteful manner in which it was executed by Mies Julia Northall, M. Laborde gave the f urth act of ‘Lucia di Lammer- moor.” with preat effect, Novelli then eung a duo. in which they displays critics] judgment in producing tones which crea- ted the sweetest harmony. Botterini, the emperor of | hen exerted his extraordinary powers on the double bass. in the performance of the dificult but beautiful piece, “the Carnival of Venice,’ which was followed by reiterated cheers, and the amusements clored with a duo.from the opera of “Guillaume Tell,” by M. and Madame Laberde All that well cultivated voieer could do, to render this pieee melodious and do- Hightfal, was scientifically touched by these eminent artista. In fine, the whole performance passed off with great credit to the performers, and exceeding pleasure to the audience, Carn '« Mixarnets.—To-day thone very excellent singers will give an extra perfermanee at 3 P.

L. Harron’s Coxcents — We have been amused,ani uently delighted, im listening to the touching, thrilling arias, duos, trios, &o., of the re- spective eminent artists who displayed their vocal powers during the opera season, in this city; but as variety and novelty are necessary ingredients, in order to please all clasaes of sosiety, and ta let each member enjoy that particular style, whether serious, comic, or otherwise, which may tickle bis fancy most, an opportunity is now offered, at the above concerts, the respective tastes of our citizens, Mr. Hatton fs a splendid pianiat, as well as vocalist, and there is such # variety in his entertainment, being principally descriptive comic scenes, which are render- ed with such expression and Jife, amd real comic abl- lity, that the most serious characters will be forced into fits ef laughter. Mr. Hatton will give three cen- certs next week, namely, on Menday, Wednesday, and Friday, at the Stuyvesant Institute, Broadway.

How can it be otherwise? Who that has heard his inimitable songs, ‘* Mr Brown's Serenade,“ 0, Ruddier than tho Cherry” (the finest song ever writ- ten), and the eccentric song, The Little Fat Man.” can resist the temptation of once more being attracted to the Stuyvesant Institute? Cunisty’s Mixstners.—Thin celebrated band of negro minstrels will perform at Troy. this evening, and on Monday and Tuesday. 25th and 26th, at Albany.— They will open, in thiscity. on Monday, 2d October, at Mechanics’ Hall, Broadway, where they will commence their winter paign, no doubt, with the same success which hae hitherto marked their performance The Viennoise Dancing Children are performing at the Howard Atheneum, Boston. The Steyermarkischs Band gave a concert in Boston on Tuesdsy evening last. A concert was given at Musical Fund Hall, Phila- delpbia, on Wednesday evening, in which Perilla Avig- none, Julia Noithall, Bottessini and Arditi took part. Dumbleton’s Ethiopian Serenaders are about to give concerts in Baltimore, Mrs. Farren and Mr. Jamison are playing at the Front street Theatre, Baltimore. ‘The Heron Family, and the celebrated John Dunn, commonly called “that Raseal Jack,” are very success- ul at Pitteburg. ARRIVAL oF THE Heroic Saitor, Jenome.—The packet ship New World, Captain Knight, arrived yesterday from Liverpool. It will be recollected that this packet ship was the means of saving several of the passengers of the Ocean Monarch. The heroic sailor, Jerome, 1s attached to the New World, and is to receive the freedom of the city, ina gold box, for his bravery and humanity on the occasion of the burning of the O. M. The following is a sketch of him New Youk, Sept. 18, 1848 Gextiemen—I observed, in your paper of September 18th, a hope expressed that the city council would take tome notice of this noble and generous hearted auilor, Frederic Jerome, for the last seven years beloaging to New York, (though claimed as an Englishman by the English papers,) who exhibited «uch heroic daring in hia successful attempt to rescue from certain and speedy death the fifteen emigrants. helpless women and chil- dren, left on the burning wreck of the ship Ocean Monarch, on the 24th ot August, near Liverpool. {am ia possession of some information respecting this wor- thy young man, which may be interesting to those of your readers who have perused the published accounts in most of the papers, and seen the spirited wood-cut in the illustrated London News, of this mournfal ca- tastrophe, in which it is supposed 173 lives wore lost. He has worked along shore and sniled out of New York for the last seven years. He is not much over 26 years of age, of most indomitable courage, without being fool-hardy in its use, and of considerable personal strength, I yesterday conversed with five seamen who had sailed with him, and they say he is aa worthy a young man as ever wax on board @ ship. He has board. ed in Water street for some years, with » kind hearted and worthy landlord, Mr. Richards; and within a year or two, married a young womun in the domestic em- ployment of Mrs. R. He has now one child, and his wife is spoken of as possessing a very good domestic character, and contributes to her own support all sho is able, by washing or sewing, while her husband is at sea. He is poor, and has nothing to depead upon but his hard-earned wages as foremast hand when on the deep—and his wife now lives in alittle room of a house in Rosevelt street. I shall be most. happy to apply to her and her child's use any testi- mony of the approbation of bis late act which onr citi: zens may with to convey to them. “He was one of the crew of the ship Henry Clay. when, two years ago, she was stranded on Barnegat, and, with ths second mate of tbat ship (who lately sailed fom Boston as the mate of the Ocean Monarch, and was on board at the time of her burning), was in a boat with four other scamen, when an attempt was made to carry a line to the shore over the surf. The boat in which they made thia hazardous experi- ment wes swamped in the rollers, and four of the por- ronsin her perished. [am told Frederick Jerome, and the present mate of the Ocean Monarch, saved thelr lives by swimming back to the ship. As noother of the persons in the ship could be induced to make a second attempt, Frederick Jerome and this person un- dertook it, and, on the second dangerous effort, ste- ceeded; and by means of this line, the whole of the lives of the passengers and crew on board of the Henr: Clay were saved. It was their only connection with the beach, which was at a considerable distance. The mate of the ship Occan Monarch, at the time of tho | faid burning, six miles from Liverpool, knowing that | this lion-hearted man was on board’ the ship New World, then lying-to, near, coming out on her hom ward voyage, and teeing no other human aid was to hed, and knowing of no other man, of the like daring, to whom he could apply, thought only of him (remem: bering his former adventure with him), to save the fifteen pereons yet remaining onthe boweprit of the burning wreck. He, therefore, put off to the Naw World in a leaky boat. to beg him to go with him to their receue, Jerome no sooner heard the request than he instantly stripped himeelf, and, whether for live or for death, let himself downfrom the chains, and went to their rescue, Fifteen souls are now rejoicing in life. who, without his aid, would be at the present hour in eternity, He got to the ship partly by swimming, ciimbed up some ropes to the bowsprit, to which the helpless, terrified women and children were clinging like burning mar- tyrs at the stake, with the devouring element touch. ing their very clothes, and with his own hands tied @ rope round their bodier, one by one, and let them down into the boat, which hia friend, the mate, kept under- neath to receive them. He was the last man that left the burning wreck. The congratulations and muni- ficence of the Prince de Joinville and the Duke d’ male, the officers of the Brazilian frigate which rescued | them, who witnessed his heroic daring, and that of the Queen of Great Britain, each being £60, and the gold medal of the Humane Society, and the honorable no- tice of his conduct, by the Mayor and Common Coun- cil of Liverpool, it is to be hoped will not prevent some honorable notice being taken of his conduct by the citizens and the public authorities of the city, whose | proud boast it is, to have had within ite precints sovon years. asa resident when on shore,aman who bas proved nimeelf an honor to humanity. and on exam- ple worthy of the imitation of his whole race, Very respectfully. yours, Cc.

The editor of the Vicksburg Sentine’, Mr. John Jenkins, was killed in the street, during a politi- cal quarrel. This is the third or fourth editor, or attaché ot the Sentinet that has either been killed ina duel ora street fight, in the last six or seven Mr. Geo. Wright, we believe, was the first one. He was the New Orleans correspondent of the Sentinel, during the commercial revulsion of 1837; and in giving an account of the financiers of that period, offended one of them, which led to a duel and the death of Wright. a The second was Dr. Hagan, a very amiable man in private life—but one not to be trifled with in public affairs. He was e: street fights, and was finally use his own expression. For several days before he was kalled, both he and his antagonist went armed with rifles, in the streets, - . : Wee not recollect the name ot the third editor alled.
