Missed his object. As he . raised his cane, he
ejaculated an emphatic expression, familiar to
himself, which arrested the attention of others,
When Lavirence was secured by Capt. Gedney, of
the Navy, who clasped him itt his aims, and then
pinioned him. The cry was iustatnly, "kill him !
kill 'him ! kill the assassin I" Gedney, however
- held the a_•eeissin fast, and demaudeJ that law and

The excitement that immediately ensued, was
terrific; -the raass iu anendauce swayed-to and fro
hie the wares of the Ocean; and hundreds nit
knowing what was the actual cause of alarm. at
tempted
to make a precipitate retreat, to avoid be
ing trampled on.
Unfortunately, as it afterwards proved, the Hon
George Puindever, a Senator frc.tn the State of
Mississippi. was one among the first to make a
retreat. A- soon as the assemblage evinced an in
tease excitement. Mr. Poindexter. who had been
crippled in a duel, hobbled as last as he possibly
could to his carriage, and leaping into it, bade his
coachmen drive with all possible celerity, to Penn
ielliania Avenue. This extraordinary' movement
at price confirmed, in ahe minds of many, the sus.
melon that very speedily arose, that be had em
ployed-Lawrence to assassinate Gen. Jackson:
Between General Jackson and Mr. Poindexter a
most acrimonious feud had existed-for years. They
had, at one time, been on terms of the closest in
timacy, personally and politiealty. 111 r. Poindexter .
had defendedl General Jackson with great ability
and success, in the matter of die Simiuolein war,
and the execution or the British emissaries, Ar
buthnot and Aimbricter, and besides this, he had
remlered him inr?ortant sect ice in the canvass that
had resulted in his election. The contest over,and

Governor Poindester heed in Four-and-a-half
street. a ferr.doors north of Pennsylvania avenue.
Directly opin-ite stood the shop of an lriahman,
named Michael Foy, a hl.ackstuith, and "doctor
of the diseases of horses."
Foy had been an applicant fey %rook, m the tray
of hi; vocation, on the public buildings, and though
oftea promised it, be had never been gratified.—
He Iraq a matt of rather Unmoral habits, and every
thing mrfed to operate to his manifest dhqklvan
lage.
When the attempt of Lawrence to
Gen Jackson . w..s made known throoghoot the city,
and the came of the assassin was published, Mich
ael recollected that he had often seen Richard Law
! ence go into and come odt of f , - destees sesi
&nee. tie forthwith' cornunirticad the fact to a
neighbor, named Stewart, who, on paring notes
and overhauling his me.mo-y, reedit red the mine
thing. Foy and Stewart conferred several times
on the subject, and at WI commtmicated all they
knew to a Mr. Louis Coltman, who was an Alder
man or counciiinaci, representing one of thenranis
of the city of 'W.whiligton in Arkft=dooverriment.
Coltman was an active and warm politic a l parti.
=n, devotedly attached to General Jackson? and
ever ready to serve him. Being aware, that the
General stinFeeted Poindexter, he eat on him
and stated 'what Foy and Sutarart had declared.—
Gen. Jackson listened to him to the cod, and then
told him bet would have nothing to do with the
marteras.iong as it presented an unandtettfalged•
aspect. "Go," said be, "to these men, and tell

pondents, with the additiou :of "these; arid:nits,
unless destroyed .by countatbalancing testimony,
must and will convict Governor 'Poindexter, and
consign him to the timpani, of the Penitentiary"
The loner embaacicg the facts.of the c ase, was
published in New York, without a mornenia delay,
and produced the deepest excitement- It was at
once denounced as a falsehood, by the papers in
the interest of the oppreithiri, and warmly sustain
ed by those which advocated the Administration,
many of whom armed to the irrevocable truth of
every mord it contained ; and this they did, with
out knowing one word 'authentically about, the
matter.
The published letter returned in Washington. af
ter the lapse of a few days, when it was denounced
as false and calumnious by the National lutAten
cer, the United States Telegraph, and even hy,lthe
Globe held, for Gen. Jackson had had not confided
the secret of the affidavit to the oftileial • editor.—
In the Senate, the letter was denounced by Mr•
Calhoun, Mr. Webster, and all the leading states
men of the opirrsition, and Governor Poindexter
having bestowed on it the seven vials of his wrath,
demanded an early and an impartial investition,,
and immediate arrest of its author, This ho de.l
mended, he said in justice to himself, and to the
dignity of the Senate i for, if he were gtfi ty of the
charge preferred, he were unworthy the seat he
held and of the confidence and association of all
' honorable men.
An Executive mandate wail immediately issued;
placed in_ the bands of Sbaekelford, the Setgeant
at- AM& who was instructed to street the author,
who was lying dangeromily sick at his lodging in
Pennsylvania
,Avenue: and, in despite of his re
monstance, he was informed that he must either
submit to close arrest in the capitol, or 'yield the
name of the person who had informed bun of the
the existence of the Affidavit'. Of course, Shack
elford, the Sergeant-at-Arms, had no authority to
oder any such terms or threats, but as he was very
much disposed to figure in the business, and thus
strengthen him in the tenure of office, he submit
ted a proposition at once insolent and inhumes.
He was assured in ream, that no oneg name
would be prodoced till after consultation could be
had with the ortgiaal possessor of the secret affi
davits. Shackelford then replied, that ha was au
thorized to say that laity eight boors for considera
tion and consultation would be allowed ; abet
which, if the name of the infixmant acts not yield
ed, summary action would be hall'
The west day, at a very early hour, a sou of Mr_
John C, Calhoun' called upon the author of the let
ter, as the friend of the lion. Gore Poindexter,
and in his behalf, demanded how be knew of the
exigence of the allidavits, and animated that un
less the call were complied with, vessel would be
had to a more summary process for a remedy.—
He, at the same time, " tiarlded in," amissive flow I
Governor Founlextes, whirls partook at once of
chivahy and sahpems. .
The author of the letter remained obstinately
mate, refusing to make use of theinaineof any one,
and as this affair bad, at this period geserated an
intense excitement, be was afraid to call upon his
informers to sustain him, because he feared that
they would deny their former asseniens.
In this state of ddeinma, having partially recov
ered, he bethought him that he would eaR on Gen.
Jackson. So thought so done. He availed him
sell of an early hour, and was fortunate enough to
rind the okl soldier at leisure and alone.
"Sir," sad he "I come here on delicate beismem

At the time of the arrest of Lawrence, it was

neither of them vreut off. To ascertain the Act,
they were placed in the Lambs of Major Donelson,
and a company of gentlemen ; who exalt:dyed them.

Why did they nc4 explode when placed at the

very warm for the season, that the warmth of his

Professor Silbutan meutioas the fact, that in bor
ring the Artesian wells in Paris, the temperature
of the earth increased at the rate of one degree for
every fifty feet toarils the centre. Reasoning
from causes known to ekist, he says.
That the whole interior portion of the earth, or
at least a great part of it, is an Ocean °insetted rock
agitated by violent winds, though I dam not affiratit
is still rendered• highly probable by the phenomena
of volcanoes. The facts connected with their erre
lion bare been ascertained and placed beyond a
dou*. How; then, are they to be accounted for
The theory prevalent some years since, that they
are caused by the combustion of immense eta, beds
is perfectty 1 verde, and is entirely. abandoned. All.
the coal us the workl would not afford fuel enough
for a sin;,ile capital exhibition of ir=utrius: 111;e
must look higher than this, and I hare but little
'doubt that the whole rests on the action of electric
and galvanie principles which are constantly in op.
opera i.~n in the earth.
Lyell does not regard the theory as founded oe
any sufficient data, which teaches the deeded that
the whole earth is a mass of melted rock, except
a crust of a few miles in thickness, as an outer co
vering. True, there are over three hundred active
volcanoes known . to exist; bat these are more doi
ly to be strictly local snit limited in their extent
dorruward,and laterally, than the outlets of one
continuous mass of liquid minerals, reachirr; hem
the earth'i centre to the base of these volcanic
cones. Professor Silliman encourages the coati:c
log opinion that the fragile shell . on which we live
is from one to two hundred miles thick, and little
likely to burst asunder sod - let us drop intothe
lug iron and granite.
