The Trip from Vicksburg—Soutiern Colleges— General Quitman—His Ideas about Cuba— Social Aspect of Slavery—A Manufacturing Village in Alabama— Cotton Gins, §¢., §c. Thave recently arrived at this beautiful city, from Vicksburg, Miss. Perhaps a brief account of the incidents of the trip may not be uninstructive to your readere. The passage down the river was made in the splendid steamer Princess. The stream at this time is unusually high, affording a most excellent view of the adjacent country, covered with plantations nearly as far back as the eye can reach. The Louisiana side presents much the finer appearance of the two. At Natchez, we were allowed ample time to visit the city and surrounding country. I visited Jeffer- son College at Washington, six miles east of the city, for the purpose of obtaining definite ideas of Southern colleges. This institution was establishe on the Jeffersonian principles, as its name indicates. Ever since its existence it has been struggling to re- eover from difficulties incident, perhaps, to its organization. No institution in this age can be ex- pected to prosper unless based on clearly distinctive principles, and these must be such as the commu- nity can readily subscribe to. One involuntarily shudders when the charter of a college exclades from ita board of instructors, ministers of the gos- pel. This college, however, has recently adopted more human notions, and we were assured that ita prog) are quite flattering. It has at thistime a president, two professors, and about forty students. On boarding the steamer we were particularly 1€} gratified in finding Gen. Quitman and a brother of Gen. Jeff Davis among the passengers from Natchez. The serene eralis by no means calculated to awe men sal even though he were d to attempt such a thing. In stature he is has dim eye, and 4 ve: voice. ‘His frame, how- ever, is strongly, » rendering him capable of enduring fatigue. He is active in his move- ments and a good eater. The conversation, of course, turned on Cuban affairs, from which I sian that there is really a be little wool, from the movements. The would like to see Cuba a slave repeals that is, a republic, im whose constitution the leading article vo essiynipnee the tual exis- tence of slavery; but that he will a pt to bring abont such a of things, indepen goin spite of the action of our ent, is simply absurd.

But my own im ion is thet the Sonth in its determination to adhere to law and order is quite equal tothe North. Why are these endless recriminations passing between the North and the South?

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jane 24, 1954. A Trip to Cleveiand—Its Progress in Wealth and, Population—History of the City by an “ Oldest Inhabitant”—Ercetion of the First Log Cabin—~ Gradual Rise and Astonishing Prosperity— Comforts for Travellers. After passing through the perils of the New York and Erie Railroad strike, I find myself once more in comfortable quarters in this city of Cleveland, sit- ting at an open window in a room not so far from the ground as to make my journey to it a“ hard road party familiar with the state of affairs there. fe informs me that the feeling in favor of annexation, by purchase, to the United States, is rapidly gaining | Pere and overcoming all opposition. Those at the | of affairs have become perfectly satisfied that | she present régime cannot sustain itself much ' to travel,” but high enough up to give mea fine view of Lake Erie. One of our travelling orators, in pursuit of popularity, who visited this place a few Sears ago, standing on the bank of the magnificent sheet of water which forms the northern. bourdary | of thie really great city, made the remark that it seemed “hardly pomiible to conceive the vast dif- ference that existed in the short distance that sepa- rated the people on the other side of the lake, governed by a throne thousands of miles away, from those about him, who governed themselves.” How much greater is our astonishment when we refiect that when we visited this same shore in 1946, the city bad a population ef about 10,000 souls; and now there are nearly four times that aumber! In rambling about the place I met some of the “ oldest inhabitante,” from whom I gleaned the following facta—they may be of some interest to your readers: In the spring of 1796 the Connecticut Land Com- pany sent out an exploring party under the charge of Gen. Moses Cleveland, of Canterbury, Conn., for the purpose of learning the actual existence and real condition of certain territories the company had purchased, first from the State of Connecticut, and subsequently from the Indians—Red Jacket representing the tribe of Senecas, and Col. Brant the Mohawks. What price the comp: aid the State I know not, bor they estimated ‘he goods with which they remunerated the aboriginal owners at $1,200. No doubt the Yankees received full that of soil; no danger of goods going below cest. The passage to this lace now a-dsys by railroad, uj land, ing with the Preet 3e the wind, in ta moanitivent palaces upon the waters of this “ Prince of Lakes,” isa mere pleasure excursion for those who wish amuse- ment and recreation from the toil and farnace heat of the city. Bnt then no luxaries were found upon the tables of the pioneers, Their beds were not of down—no iron horse belching forth huge volumes of smoke and fire at sroey breath, and for his food consuming whole tons of rocky aliment taken from the bo: of the earth—no engines escorted them through forests of living green, and fields of waving corn. The journey was to them a work of time, labor, and dangea oP and tosome, of death. About the Ist of October, 1796, the firat log cabin was erected upon the site of this city. Huving de- termined upon the location of the town, Gen. Cleve- land divided it into ‘ 220 lots of 8 rods front and 40 rear, the whole encircling a public square of near); 10 acres, with two highways passing therethrough.” When the surveyors returned to render their em- ployer an account of what they had done, they left he “new city” with a ulation of three souls. In 1810, with sixteen inhabitants, Cleveland was made the county seat of the county of Cuyahoga. A court house was built, and the tirst court held here, In 1814, it received a village charter. In 1816, the first steamboat entered theriver. In 1836, with nearly 6,000 inhabitants, it became a city. Though raised to equal dignity with other cities of the land, Cleveland still enjoyed it bat in name. Nearly half the her peer le were, like the ar- mies of ancient Gaul, “ in hybernis.” in the spring, like the semi-frozen bears of the surrounding woods, they would crawl out to the enjoyment of sunlight, and become revived as the summer heats advanced. By midsummer all would be activity, and then be- gan the preparations for the endurance of another cold, dreary winter. Well might it then be said reir existence of a nae pe be ex- led thirty-three per cen! e common term, in order that he should have his share of life.” In 1845, the genius of the The spirit of progress communced to affect the peo- ple, and it needs only a hasty glance at this now magnificent city to enable us to see the result. Throwing aside the narrow-mindedness of which they had been hitherto innocently because ignorant- ly guilty, (as my grandfather once owned sa Irish cat, you allow me to make bulls,) Yopadiasing the penny viet, pound-fooliah” policy which they had upto time pursued, they commenced a series poe joe which have resulted in effects equalling their most sanguine expectations, Loaning money to railroads, inviting the co-operation of foreign cap- italists they extended their own business commanica- tions far th the wild foresta to the neighboring Sheng’ cities East, West, and South, thus g Cleveland a centre to which they must con- verge. The winter of her discontent is o’er, and Cleveland now enjoys her place in ‘the world,” and holds free intercourse with ‘‘ the rest of mankind” during al the year. But, while not neglecting her business. relations, the ‘Forest City” remem- bered the duty she owed herself’ in matters of science and art, of morality and religion. Instead of one church edifice, as in 1816, there are now thirty-two, incinding all the denominations of Pro- testanta, Roman Cathotice,Jewish, and spiritualists. Of these, Trinity Church, which is being ‘removed anda new and more commodious stracture being _ereeted in its place, may boast of having been the first church on the Western Reserve. iblic schools, literary and medical col- leges, academies, seminaries, and private schools; of the library and literary association;,the horticul- tural societies,the hospital,and other similar organi- zations whose names appearin your city directory, they are all fs and in some instances excelled, here in this ‘far-off town.” There are here also weekly and daily papers, that tell of the reading pi of the people; and aa you passalong you will hear the clicking the telegraph operator, who holds inter- course with the other parts of the civilized world.

In the morning I have my bath; at the breakfast table I touch my seat before the attentive waiter presents me yesterday's paper (evening edi- tion), and with the HeraLp in my hand I can scarcely realise that am not at home. Afterwards, more at my leisure, I enjoy itina delightfully com- fortable parlor, or with my peger, in the spacious reading-room.

Y., and Deputy Marshal J. B. Brady, of Portland. He proceeded, (ona re- quisition of the Governor of New York,) in charge of Mr. Kelly, in the afternoon train to New York, and will be taken thence to Elmira, for trial on a charge of burglary. Victor is a notorious New York scoundrel and burglar, and has been practising his eee in different parte of the country for some ime past. He broke jailina town in Pennsylyania, whore two indictments stand against him’ for burglary; and he also escaped from jail in Kingston, Ca- nada West. Five indictments exist against him for robbery in Elmira. On these he was arrested, and ‘was being (po hd to Elmira, but managed to slip the irons from }is wrists, and with the assistance of some ‘‘fugitive’” rescuers, escaped. His friends put him on the track for this eastern land of the free and home of the brave; and on his arrival at Portland he was taken charge of by the notorious abolitionist Foster, husband of Abby he Poster, and was en- joying the foosbing air of “Old Folks at Home,” played with exquisite sweetness by a sympathizing young lady for the amusement of the unfortanate “ fugitive” himself, ity Marskal Brady entered, and a presentation of steel bracelets soon after took place with interesting ceremonies, to the no nishment of most of thore nt.

Not for years has the crop been 0 promising as now. In addition to this, a — deal more has been planted the present season usual, and the consequence will be overflowing cribs and low prices for bread materials. As to the cotton ove we can only say that it yromies well. jat it is altogether too early in the day to specu- ite about a product so liable to drawbacks. Here- tofore, says the Tampa Herald, our citizens in the country have paid their almost entire attention to stock, and many fine beef cattle are shipped to the Weat Indies, Key West, &. This year, however, they will make large crops of cotton and sugar for export, with plenty of the provision kind. The Austin (Texaa) State Gazette has the follow- ing. which shows that the prospects are fine:— Within the past week we have met persons in this city from nearly al! parte of this State, and the ac- count they give of the growing crops is encour- aging almost beyond precedent. Everywhere the corn and cotton, as wel! as the smali grain crops, promise an abundant yield. Without some unex- ected disaster all partaof the State will besupplied his fall with an abundance of provisions at cheap prices, to supply the wants not only of our present population, but als» of the heavy emigration which we may expect from-the accounts reaching us from the old States. The Detroit Advertiser says the wheat crop in Michigan is in a very uppromising condition. In some counties of the State the prospect is that an av crop will be harvested, while in many other farmers are doubtiul whether they shall reap ie seed sown. In several of the Southern States not heretofore in as wheat growing ones, they have made great orops this year.

High prices have stimulated them to plant largely of everything calcnlated to incfease the product of human food. The Eastern States are not wheat growing ones, but.auch crops as they do grow are promising, and will save them from drawing so largely upon the others for breadevufts.

It is much better advanced than the corn crop in this neighborhood. The wheat crop looks well well every- + whete we have been. It is almost ready to cut along the Miami.--Columbus Statesman, June 22. A Drsrerare Dust.—We learn from a gentle- man recently from Florida, that a due! was fought on Monday last, the 19th inst., between Cladius C. Stewart, Esq., and Joseph B. Coker, Esq., both young lawyers, resident at Newnansville, East Flo- rida. The quarrel is reported to have had its origin in Mr. Coker’s pematingse a young Indy that fir. Stewart had invited him to be one of his grooms men on the occasion of his ar ching naptials with that lady, It appears that Mr. S. had request- ed Mr. C. to attend him on the occasion referred to, but at the same time enjoining secresy in the mat- ter, Mr. S. construed the disclosure into a breach of confidence, and an offence requiring of Mr. 0. his signature, andhis acknowledgment of his haying been guilty of a libel, or the alternative of a fight with dead! Mehl te After the interference of the friends of both proved unavailing in reconciling the quarrel, the parties left Newnansville, and proceed- edtoa ait some thirty miles distant, where they crossed to the appoint place of meeting, on the Georgia side. e terms of the meeting show that the Pn cipals intended it not to be “a bloodless duel.” Both were armed with double barrel shot an Mr. Stewart's gun was loaded with thirty uck shot. Mr. Coker’s gun, which chambers three balls, was loaded with twelve bullets. After firing the first shots, at a distance of seventy-five yards, in case neither fell, they were to advance ten paces and fire a second time; when, if neither was yet hit, they were to re-load’and advance ten paces more for at shot. At the first fire, Mr. Stewart received three balls, two of therm in his left arm and shoul- der, rendering, it is said, the amputation of that limb necessary. The other ball entered his right breast, and passing upward, lodged in his right shoulder, in front. Fears were entertained for Mr. §.’s life, partly on account of the delay caused by having to send a distance of twenty miles, for in- struments necessary to the amputation of his arm. The attending surgeons had no instramente on the ground. Two buck shot passed through the breast of the loose garment worn by Mr. Coker. Both ap- | pear to be well practiced in the use of their weap- | ons, and by the result of the first fire, we are, per- haps, d the record of one of the bloodiest tragedien that has ever resvlted from this mode of adjusting differences between gentlemen. With the | lessened distance, and the almost unerring precision. exhibited by the combatants, the secend shot could hardly have resulted otherwise ‘than in a horrible mutilation, or perhaps the killing of both.—Savan- nah News, June 26. t all PE EE LBL E j 4 CuRrosiry.—The Clevelabd Herald gives ain account of a porosity, tn Bryan, Williams county, Ohio, of which it speaks as follows:—It is sup) by some that there is an underground lake at the depth of some forty or fifty feet, of considerable ex- tent, as water has been found when bored for, for several miles round. This also is Soparent from the fact that every new well that is bored affects the strength of others in its immediate vicinity, un- til its stream is elevated, by means of a stock, to an ¢qual height. There are ceveral that fill a two inch pipe to the height of eight feet above the sur- face of the ground, and others issue a somewhat smaller stream at the height of twelve or fifteen feet. Some of the larger ones frequently throw up eiall fish, and we are told there is a Very stron, fountain about a mile east of this place, in whic fish of a blackish color, of the length of three inches have been seen. Water is found at an average depth of forty-two feet. The auger passes through @ lore sand until it strikes what is called a “hard pent & bed of solid blue ciay, of from two to three feet in thickness, and of such a nature that it re- nires a drill to penetrate it. Immediately below this “hard pan” lies the water. No season nor state of the weather has any effect upon these liv- ing fountains. SomNAmBULIsSM—Honnin..e AcoiDENT. — Yester- day morning, about daylight, the cit‘zens residing in the vicinity of Third.and Elm streets were aroused by cries and shrieks as of some one in. distress. Upon ba ltd tothe spot, they found a young wo- man by the name of Ann McPlroy, who had risen in a fit of somnambulism and endeavored to get ont of the window of her sleeping room in the story. When she awoke, she found herself clinging to the | sill of the window; and, frightened at her eituation, losing all presence of mind, she released her hold, and fell the distance of some thirty-five feet upon the brick pavement below, narrowly escaping an iron railing fence but a few feet from where she fell. Dr. Freeman, of the Eclectic College, was sent for, | and found that her injuries were very severe, both | bones being broken in one of her ancles, and one of | them protruding almost an inch. We never saw a foot or ancle more horribly mangle2. Her face is likewise badly brnised. There is some probabilit; that her leg may have to suffer amputation. She about thirty years of age, and has no knowledge that she was’ ever previously addicted to feats of sommambulism.— Cincinnati Times, June 26.

Disgusted and madened by the sight, he seized the bottle and hurled it out of the door, accidentally striking achild of Mrs. Roach, living in the same house, fracturing its skull. Watchman Gray,of the Eighth ‘ward, was called in, ana from all he could ascertain, thinks the striking of the child was purely acci- dental.

"Paw License Question IN Newarr.—A meeting of the citizens of Newark was held on Monday even- ing, to sustain the action of the Council in refusing to grant licenses for the sale of intoxicating drinks, The meeting was addressed by a number of speak- ers, who endorsed the action of the authorities. ‘The following resolutions were unanimously adopted as expressing the sense of the mecting:-— Resolved, That, as friends of the great temperance reformation, we hail the triumphant progress of the rohibitory principle, which is fast recommending itself to the enlightened moral sense of the entire nation; and, while we oer that State is fast aucceeding State in the outlawry of intoxlcating drinks as a beverage, we antici- unabated and increasing confidence, the adop- eads out of the Jersey. Resolved, That this meeting warmly approve the action of the Common Council in refusing to grant licenses for the sale of intoxicating drinks, and of their present well- timed and houses, and to preserve Sabbath order; and, in the pro- secution of these wise and wholesome measures, we do hereby pledge to that honorable body our most hearty support and co-operation. ARREST OF A COUNTERFEITER IN Ox10.—Yeater- day morning officers Lawrence, Ridgeway and Tag- gart, arrested at his residence on Michigan street, a man by the name of James Greer. From informa- tion previous); believe that tured bogus coin, and they learned where to search for the implements. When arrested the pri- soner put on airs of innocence, declared he had been traduced by some rascal, and stood ready to vindi- cate his character before any and all the courts in the land. On search Made, strips of metal were discovered rolled to dimes, and a large number of pieces had been cut out. When interrogated as to what this meant, he said they were simply gunwads, nothing more, upon his honor. In hia vest pocket were found two of received, these officers were led to the milling 3 yet they were gunwads, ars little ornamented. In the wood shed was found a press, and in two trunks in a clothes preas were dis- covered the dies for making half dimes, dimes and before the prisoner he became a good deal agitated, but said he did not own them—-he would swear he didn’t. He accounted for their being in his tion by eaying he found them with his street. A portion of the dies had been sent to the country, the officers knew, and probably ere this they are in the hands of the authorities. The tracing this matter out, and making the arrest, was a very neat affair, and shows the officers had well matared their plans. The case looks hard for Greer, yet it is not impossible he may be an abused man. If he is innocent he will Lave a chance to prove himself so. He has been keeping for a considerable time a smal! farmers’ produce store on Ontariv street.— Cleveland Plaindcaler, June 26. Siovtar Case.—We learn from a gentleman this morning, a very singular case of what was far pored to be hydrophobia, which occurred in Little York, in thie county. A married man, (we could notlearn his name,) a resident of the place speci- fied, was bitten, a short time ago, by a large mad dog. The wound, being slight, was not considered worthy of particular notice, and it soon healed up, and the circumstance was forgotten. A few days ago, while in the room with his wife, he felt rather strangely, and scemed inclined to bite and grate his teeth with all the power he possessed. He asked being complied with, he bit it through in several places, and continued Laie | until is was chewed to pieces. He then requested her to hand him a chip, which he also ‘ore into splinters with his teeth. At this point he was seized with very strange and wild sensations, and he told his wife she had b tter leave the room, as he was fearful he might commit some ersonal violence. She did so immediately, and ocked the door. He tried to get out; but finding the door locked, went to the window, which was the eecond or third story of the house, and jumped out, perfectly crazy and raving, as is supposed, with y drop! ‘obia. He ran several miles before he was overtaken, screaming and crying with the inost intense agony. He was finally secured and ekg oe back, and is now under the medical care of Dr. LeFevre. At times he is perfectly rational, when he refuses to be tied. When the strange feelings come upon him he gives notice, and is properly se- cured. This is certainly a very strange case— Dayton Empire, June 24. Svrrs against DeLinquenr OFrricers.—The act of January 25, 1828, declares that no money shall be paid to any officer for compensation who is in arrears to the United’ States. The proviso to the same act makes it “ the duty of the accounting offi- cers, if demanded by the Rarty, his agent or attor- ney, to report forthwith to the agent of the Treasury juty of agent, Ty to order suit against such delin Pont and his sure- ties.” An army officer, not dial whose had been stopped, demanded suit; The qi nm arose, whether or not it was obligatory to accede to bis request, as the title of the actis “an act to pre- vent defalcations on the part of disbursing agents of the government, and for other purposes,” and also because sureties were mentioned in the dy of the act. It was held that the law was well | settled, and has been. so decided by the Supreme Court; that the title of an act, Le 4 ‘usually drawn Without much deliberation, cannot control plain words in the body of the statute, and can only be Teferred to in order to assist in removing ambigui- ties. In the act in question, the words and immport , are plain, and however inadequate may be the officer's defence, or claim in offset, the power of the government to withhold the pay, and the right of the officer to demand suit, are corelative, and apply to all officers, whether disbursing or not; and in tegard to euretics, there are many disbursing offi- cers for whom no surety is required — Washington Star, June 28. Remarxante Deatus.—The most remarkable cages of coincidences and sudden deaths that we ever remember to have Leard of, are recorded as fol- lows :— J. L. Brown was recently nominated for the Legislature in Pacific county, age Hy oe Terri- tory, but died very suddenly the fore the election. Mr. Scudder was then elected, and hedied suddenly a few days after. A special election was then ordered, and H. Fiester was chosen to fill the vacancy. The late steamer brings news that Mr. Fiester proceeded to the seat of government, and on i next day fell dead in the House —Baltimore rats iot. 4 Lorry Csrepratiox.—In view of the near ap- roach of the nation’s birthday, the following quo- tion from Nile’s Register of August 2, 1823, may not be unacceptable:—'The late anniversary of our independence was celebrated on the top of the famous Table Rock, in Pendleton district, 8. C. Mr. Wilson, Governor of the State, with his snite, was of the patty. The rock is about one thonsan feet high, and very precipitous, yet a brass six- ounder was dragged to the top, and the discharges om it were echoed and re-echoed for a great length of time, to the wonder and awe of all present.” Foouren Danme.—On Sunday week, Caleb Hait- man was drowned while bathing in a stream near Saliebury, N.C.

Yesterday afternoon, a boy named William O'Neil, was shot by another lad, named George Williams. It appears that they had starved from their homes, with others, and re 1d to the Neck for the purpose of practising at pisto! shoot- ing. The: discharged a number of shote, when O’Neil challenged Williams to shoot at a mark, upon a wager—which was acc: . After three trials, Williams was declared by his comrades to have made the best shots; whereapon O'Neil became excited, and said that he one who said that he had lost. Williame that he did not care about the wager, bat if be (O'Neil) wanted to shoot so very badly, he would measure distances and exchange shote with bim. O'Neil said to Williams that hé did not campiain of him, but of the other hors who had not done him justice. The difficulty at this time appeared to ave been healed; but on their way homewards, @ lad by the name of McMullan got into » oe with O'Neil, which led to a severe fight. the struggle, O'Neil drew a knife and of Williams, who, in turn, drew’ a pistol and sbot O'Neil. “two ‘balls anda sug took effectin tha right shoulder,and @ small shot passed t! rb hid. arm.

Scrcrpe—The Lonisville Journal relates the fact ¢ concerning the suicide of a lad of thirteen years, named Henry Merriam, ten miles from Loulavilie. ‘This is one of the most mysterious as wel! as one of the most extraordinary cases of suicide ever com- mitted in this country.
