Wo received at a Mto hour lp9t highf,
the particulars of a revolting affair which
has just transpired in tho county of Sus

transaction published by us a few months!
since decured. From ull we liiivd been!
eiiftbid tp 'ascertain, it appears that'Mr. j
Henry Birdsong, whoso little son was kil
led by his side, and himself dangerously
wounded a few months since, so cruelly
whipped and bout one of his negros on
Tuesday night lustj ilyal he djed in a few
hours. Mr. B.,'n gentleman infprras us,
had given orders to his negros tW' they
were tb rcpprt ihemselye's to him at his
dwelling every night, at an early Hour.--
On Tuesday night fast they fujled to do
so, and upon one of his boys coming into
the House to get his (Birds'ob'g’K)Bhops,to
clean, ho was',called'.to' account!'for, His
disobedienco. Mp. B. being' unusually
rigorous and severe with hi? servants gen
erally, the boy expected a whipping, anil
ran’outlof (ho, house to escapd it, Mr.' B.
followed him closely, and calling d,very
ferocious dog, (oft|ie, bull species,) pinrted
the animal in pursuit of the fugitive . also. j
Tl‘l9 dog soon overtook and bit him very
before ho. was taken off. |il(. j
It; then tied the■ boy,' flpcT whipped and j
beat him so that he died in a few hours.— ]
These facts eprtdpg .ta the knowledge ofj

happen in their way; and, of course,they
would bo cpnstrained to revenge the insult
or defynd their lives as the case might be.

1 that the inhabitants, nnd (still better)'per-
Imps tho troops would mqke u show of re
sistenpe,'whereupon; Ibey would proclaim
it an attempt ta exterminate ihem, declnro
themselves masters of the country, and
make open war upon all uho dare resist
their authority. A Stato government
would nt unco bo organized, (the consti
tution being already made, agreed to and
Lu their pockets, nnd the principal officers
chosen,) and the.flag pf the new republic
(also, mado) of most enchanting colors,
run to tho top of tho flag statT of the tonl

gine.—lt will bo recollected that the cal
joric ship Ericsson returned from her trip
to Washington about seven months ago,
and that.immediately thoreafler essential
modifications nnd improvements were de
termined upop. Theso have since been
»in progress, at Williamsburg, near whera
the shipivdsbuilt, nnd where she. has
! since lain; The public will ho gratified to
i learn that theso ulterulions ore now near-
I ly complated,'and that, so far from thccn
' lerprise having been abandoned, as has
\ been the general belief, tho fullest confi
dence is entertained on tho part of those
i immediately interested, of its comeplcte
succession the second trip of the ship.—
' Mr. Ericsson is devoting bis whole time
j end undivided energies to the realization
| of this end.
!• ll is expected that within two weeks
jone of the engines will bo completed, and
| the others will be finished soon ufter. The
j several parts, are ull ready, and now on
j board. We updurstond that the power of
1 1heiio engines wi|| far exceed what was at

[ It is to by hoped that these anticipations

difficult to predict what changes might en

Loo Cnoo Islands. —A young midshin,
man attached to tho Japan expedition givij,
the following description ofthe dress of tho
inhabitants of Loo Chuo, one of the Japan,
cse islands : ,
“I wns among the first to land, and da.
joyed a rich treat in a sight of Loo Choo
islanders. Their appearance is in lh»
highest degree effeminate and simple ; and
is increased by their dress. They shfear
the top of the head, leaving a ridgo-of
hair all around. This, when it grows
long, is gathered up and made into a knot
on tho crown, tho ends being turned un
der and concealed, and all brushed-,so
smoothly ns not to leave a hair out of
place. It is then kept in its place by two
pins crossing each other,. Their dress
consists merely of a piece,, of light, airy
material thrown over tho shoulders,'and
gathered by a belt at tho Vaistj {ho ends
hunging down almost to the ground/ Their
sandals aro made of a kind of straw, se
cured by a strap over tho instep and an.
other connecting the big and tho next (qe.
This is the general dress. That of (ho
mandarins and tho “upper ten” is soma,
what richer, them is n little more ot it,
and they are allowed the luxury of stock
ings. AIT, upon entering a house, leavs
their sandals at the door.”
California Coal. —The Sacramento
Union describes some specimens of eoal
taken from the foot hills of the Sierra, in
Butle county, about forty miles above Ms.
rysvillc ;
“In external appearance, it much re
sembled tho more bitumous varieties of
coal, breaking with n shining fracture;
but ns this coul was taken from near the
surface it could not be considered as a
fuir sample, and we havo no doubt that
moro favorable specimens will bo found
It was compnritively light, the specific
gravity ccrtninly not being so high as that
of ordinury bitimous coal.
“The vein in Which it occurs is somo
six feet thick, crossingout with a dip of
about 42 deg.; but at some distance in tho
hill, where a shaft of 29 feet has beep
sunken, to intercept the vein, it is found
nearly horizontal. It burns with a cleat
bright flame, but appears not to have
much strength.”
The defalcations in New York, he
New York, Nov. 19. —The rumored
defalcations in wall street, mentioned id
the papers this morning, are partially in
correct. It appears thut there was but ono
bank victimized, and that was done by
some of the lending officers, who used
$lOO,OOO of the funds of the Dunk in dis
counting paper, murh of which was worth,
less. Wh-thur the Bank or the guilty par
ties will have to lose the amouht is cot
known.
Nothing further has transpired in rela
tion to the recent robbery on the Bank of
tho State of New York, but the impression
gains ground that tho robbery was com
mitted by some one connected with tho
BunltT
Railroad Collision.
Baltimore, Nov. 19. —A collision oc
curred yesterday nt the Relay House, on
the Susquehanna railroad, about six miles
from Baltimore. The locomotive and cars
were considerably damuged Fortunately
none of tho passengers were injured, nl;
though the greatest consternation prevail,
ed among them, . especially the ladies.—
The conductors on each train, John and
William Scott, received a number of seri
ous bruises.
A. Hundred Miles an Horn;—The
ScieDtific American has nn engraving of
the railroad which is to run a hundred
miles an hour with perfect safety. Itsdis
tinctivo principle is that)he cars run on a
single triick for the train'to be hung upon
it. The train is; in fact, placed a-straddlo
of the rail, running on wheels, to whose
axles the cars aro hung. It isobvious
that, with (ho rail running, as it wete,
through the car, the latter could not be
thrown cilF tho track by noy amount of
speednnd no obstruction of sufficient
magnitude'to do mischief could bo mads
to In'y 'upbn a single rail raised six or eight
feet iroin tho ground.
