One pleasant morning in June some two or three years since four of the crew of the United States ship then lying in Ihe port o( R , obtained permission ol Ihe first lieutenant to have a day on shore. The roads were in good travelling order; they determined to hire a "team," and run down to B , a distance of ten miles. Alter donning their best ri?, they went to a livery stable, hired a phrrton and a span of horses and were soon ofl in high spirits. Arriving at B , about one o'clock in the afternoon, they drove to the City Ho tel, gave the horses in charge of the hoslfer with the injunction to give them a eood rubbing down and plenty of grain. They then walked into the hotel, and ordered a private room, with the best dinner the house could afford. In the course of half an hour, the ser vant announced their room and dinner was ready. They were shown up stairs to a richly furnished apartment, where the four sailors sat down to an entertainment fit for a prince. In fact the poor fellows had never dreamed of the like before. 'Waiter, bring a couple of boftles of champaigne your best" said Jack Wa ters -as good a sailor at ever floated this aide of 'Davy Jones' locker.' After finishing their dinner leisurely, they went down into the bar-room, called for cigars, lit them, told Iht landlord they were going to take a stroll around the city, and should return at about five o'clock. As it was near sis when they got back Ihy determined to set off for R imme diately, as their word had been given to be on toard by nine o'clock, i "But shipmates," said Waters, "you are not going without your supper, are you V I "Of course not," answered the landlord, who heard Waters' remark. "Walk right up stairs, gentlemen, you shall be provided for immediately." "But the expense," said Charles Brently, in a low tone. "Oh, never mind that," returned Water. "Come let's go up and have some supper, We shall feel better for it." The sailors had hardly reached their room, when a waiter brought in some hot muffins, preserves, pies, cake and olher eatables, very palatable to sailors who for the last twelve months had tasted nothing but salt junk and hard bread. "Waiter, fetch ug a bottle of the oldest wine you have in the " "The expense," whispered Brently. "D n the expense waiter bring the wine" ordered Waters. "Now," said Waters, after Ihe waiter had gone, "our hill will be twenty or thir ty dollars, which we can't pay. "Well what do you propose to do?" asked Brently, ready for any emergency. "That's just the question I was about to ask rot;," returned Waters. "Why the d 1 did you order the supper and wine, when yofl knew there was not a 'shot in the locket' to pay for what we have nlrendj'." "Thunder and guns, man, you might as well be 'locked up' for a large debt as a small one. But stop I believe I've a p'an which, if well managed, may help us awav from this landshark of a landlord." "What is it ?" asked Brently. "It is this. I will have the carriage brought to the door, and order our bill. When the waiter brings it, I will take it, put my hand in my pocket as though 1 were going to pay it. You, (.'barley, snatch the hill out of my hand and say that you intend to pay it. l on, Maxwell, claim it your privilege to pay all expenses and you, Frank, do the same. Then, Brenll', throw off your jacket and threaten to whip the crowd, unless you are allowed to pay it : alter that accede to any propo sition I shall make. Follow these instruc tions and leave the rest to me " At this moment the waiter entered with the wine. "Waiter, have o-jr horses brought to the door, and when they are ready bring us our bill." "Yes, sir." "What do yon intend to do, Jack 1" ask ed Brently. "Knock down the waiter, seize the bill, rush out, jump into the car riage, and " "No, nothing of the kind," interrupted Waters. "On the conttary, I shall make the waiter a pn s 'nt of half a dollar for Ihe attention he has paid us. "However, all remember your parts, and we will slip our cables, and be oiTat the rate of forty miles an hour." When the waiter returned, Ihe compan' had finished their last glass of wine. "Ah," said Waters, "have you the bill ?" "Yes sir," said the waiter, handing it to him. "Nineteen dollars and fifty cents. All right, there is a half a dollar for you, sir are the horses nt the door ?" "Yes sir, all ready." "Stop!" exclaimed Brently, as Waters thrust his hand into his pocket. I'll pay the bill." At the same time snatching the bill out of his hand. "Curse me if you do though," said Max well. "That's my privilege." "Look here, shipmates," said Brently, at the same time throwing off' his jacket and doubling up his fists, "1 don't want to quarrel with you ; but the first mother's son that says he'll pay the bill, shiver my limbers, if I don't spile his binnacle lights in less than no time." "Stop, slop," interrupted Watcrs-"we'll have no quairelling about it. Lt the wai ter be blindfolded, and the first one he catches shall pay the bill. Will you agree to it shipmates J" Waters gave the wink and they con sented to settle the dispute in that way. While Brently was lying the napkin round the waiter's eyes, Waters took the receipt which lay on the table, and put it away. Then going to the door he softly lifted the latch, swung open the door and motioned them out. "Now," said he, "we aie all ready. The first one you catch, hold on to him don't let him pet away front you" and Waters softly closed the door and proceed ed down stairs with the others. Just as they reached the bottom they w re met by Ihe landlord. "Have you got your bill, gentlemen 1" he asked. 'Yes, sir," said Waters, showing him the receipt. "All right, gentlemen the next time you're round give us a call." "We shall do so, sir," returned Haters. The next moment they were in their carriage, and soon out of sight. A few mtnutes after they had gone the landlord had occasion to go up stairs, and was surprised to hear a tremendous noise coming from the room lately occupied by the four sailor. Opening the door, he was struck dumb with astonishment. There lay the table on one tide the chairs turned upside down, glasses broke, bottles rolling around the floor and the waiter, with eyes bandaged and outstretched arms, dodging this way and that, endeavoring to catch tome one. "Wha why," the old gentleman was unable to speak from astonishment. "I bear you," said the waiter, and he made a dive at the landlord clasping him in his arms, with a hug that would have crushed bear. "I've got you," he ex claimed, as the landlord struggled to get away. "Abie, old fellow, you have got to pay thtbill!" and clinging like a vice with one band, and with the ether be pulled the bandage off bis eye. JJistortcal. THE CLAY AND RANDOLPH DUEL. A long extract from Col. Benton's "Thir ty Years in the United Stales," shortly lo be published, has found its way into the newspapers, givinga circumstantial account ol the duel between Clay and Randolph in 1826. Col. Benton was present at Ihe meeting and knew every step that was ta ken by the parties, or their friends, from the day of the challenge to the day ol re conciliation all of which he relates with great particularity, and, no doubt, with equal accuracy. The cause of Ihe chal lenge was spoken in debate Ihe veibal report of which, as communicated to Mr. Clay, represented Randolph !o have said : "That a letter from General Salazar, the Mexican Minister at Washington, submit ted by the Exeruti e to the Senate, bore the earmark of having been manufactured or forged by the Secretary of State, and de nounced the Administration as a corrupt coalition between the Puritan and hluckleg ; and added, at the same lime, that he, (Mr. Randolph,) held himself perfectly respon sible for ail that he had said." Randolph, however, authorized hi friend, Col. Talnal, to say to- Mr. Clay's friend, Gen. Jessup, that Ihe words used by him in debate were as lollows : "That I thought it would be in my power to show a Charlotte county jury (hat (his invitation was manufactured here that Salazar's letter sir nek me as bearing a strong likeness, in point of style, to the either papers. 1 do not undertake lo prove this, but expressed my suspicion that it was so. I applied to the Administration this epithet. "I'utitatiic, diplomatic, blacklegged Administration." M. Ran dolph, in giving these words as uttered by him in debate, is unwilling to afford any explanation as to their meaning and appli cation." Every expedient that could be thought oflo prevent a hostile meeting, was ex hausted by the friends of the parties in vain. As the next best thing, the seconds agreed to so arrange the terms of filing that if either party got hit it would be as near an accident as possible. The meeting took place on the 8th of April, on the right hank of the Potomac, within the State of Virginia- Col. Benton proceeds : The place was a thick forest, and the immediate spot a little depression or basin in which the parties stood. The principals saluted each other courteously as they took their stands. Col. Tat nail had won Ihe choice of positions, which gave to Gen. Jessup the delivery of the word. They stood on a line east an -J Wr-st a small stump just behind Mr. Clay ; a low gravelly bank just behind Mr. Randolph. The lat ter asked Gen. Jessup lo repeat the word as he would give it; and while in the net of doing so, and Mr. Randolph adjusting the butt of his pistol lo his hand, the muz zle pointing downwards, and almost to (he ground, it fired. Instantly Mr. Randolph turned to Mr. Tat nail and aid : "I proles ted against lhat hair trigger." Col. Talnall took the blame to himself for having sprung the hair. Mr. Clay had not received his pistol. Mr- Johnson, (Josiah,) one of his seconds, was carrying it to him, and still several steps from hi:n. This untimely fire, though clearly an accident, necessarily gave rise to some remarks, and a species of inquiry, which was conducted with the utmost delicacy, but which, in itself, was of a nature to be inexpressibly painful to a gentleman's feelings. Mr. Clay slopped it with Ihe generous remark that the fire was cleaily an accident, and it was so unani mously declared. Another pistol was immediately furnish ed; an exchange of shots took place, and, happily, without effect upon the persons. Mr. Randolph's bullet struck the stump behind Mr. Clay, and Mr. Clay's knocked up the eatth and gravel behind Mr. Ran dolph, in a line with the level ot his hips, both bullets having gone so true and close, lhat it was a marvel how they missed. The moment had come for me to iutepose. I went among the parlies and offered try meditation, but nothing could he done. Mr. Ciay said, with that wave of the hand with which he was accustomed lo put away trifles, "This is cn'A' piny I" and required another fire. Mr. Randolph also demanded another fire. The seconds were directed to re-load. At the second round, Randolph received the fire of Mr. Clay, which knocked up the gravel in the same place as the first then raising his piste), and firing it in the air, he said, "I do not fire at you, Mr. Clay," As he said this, he advanced and offered his hand. He was met in the same spirit. They came together, half-way, and shook hands, Mr. Randolph saying, jocose ly, "You owe me a coat, Mr. Clay," (the bullet having passed through the skirt of the coat, very near the hip,) lo which Mr. Clay promptly and happily replied, "I am glad the debt is no larger." It was Randolph's original intention not to fire at Clay at all; and this intention, early in the preliminaries was confidently communicated to Colonel Benton alone. But on the day of the duel, under the in fluence of a misapprehension, Randolph modified his first purpose so far as to shoot at Clay, not with the design of killing him, but if possible to lame him. After the first fire, however, the misapprehension alluded to having been explained he renewed to Col. Benton hit intention to fire into the air, and be did so. On Monday the parties exchanged cards, and social relation were formally and courteously restored. Col. Benton, in con clusion, sayt this was about the last high toned duel he ever witnessed, and he at tributes its fortunate issue to the noble character of the seconds, as well as to the generous and heroic spirit of Ihe principals.

The official Temesvar Zeilung, gives n particular account of the recent discovery of Ihe royal insignia of Hungary: 'It was fully shown at the outset, by An. ditor T. Yon Karger, that Kossuth first took the insignia to Alt Orgova, but being una ble, wiih any due degree of security, to con ceal ihem there, he took them to the Her cules liaths at Mehadia. Finding, however, siill less opertnniiy to hide them there, he returned forthwith to Alt Olsova, placed them in Ihe house of a certain Georgo Theodor, land finally, by Ihe assistance of trustworthy persons, forwarded them at night, across ihe Czernn, towutd the Wallachaiu boumlaiy, on horses bony It", for the pui pose. It was also rendered certain, lhat companions of Kossuth, had purchased on Ihe same day, at Alt OUo va, tools ror digging, and had, at night, left for the C'.erna. The winter on the lower Danube having come on very early, and cov ered the eanh with snow a foot in depth no search could be made for some months, in Ihe ground about Alt Olsova and w hen in April, 1850, ihe snow and ice melted, al' traces of any excavation had disappeared, amrfurther rescearch in thisquniter was pre vented, and the attention of those engnged in it turned tn ai. other pari of ihe kingdom, by Ihe shrewdness of the Kossuth party, w ho secretly removed the private muiksauj sig uu's to a different place. "Early last spring Katger was ordered to devote himself lo tho task of seeking the chest in which ihe insignia was deposited. Ho started fin the principle that ihe secret could have been imparled to but few persons in order to attain to any degree of security, and thai they must have chosen some point, which could be easily found again by them or by their mes-enger, even upon the lapse of years ; and fuither, thai they could have eresse.l the Czeiua by only one way, and tl at the place of concealment must be be yond that liver a legion nfljidiug but few place suited lo their object. Although a pre'iy thorough knowledge of Ihe surface of this territory had been gained previously, a uio-t thoioiigh and careful examination whs mice more begun. This lasted severaj months in all weathers, and even thionghout ihe clear moonlight nights of July nod Au gust. Every upturned clod, every bush, tree( broken blanches, stone, rut or scratch in ihe earlh was noted, the same spots were passed over and over ugain by those engaged in the search, sometimes in one diieclion, some times in another, now-leaving the sput in des pair, of finding Uhj elue, and yet, if called back by some higher power sat ihe Aus trian stritcr leluriiing again lo the scearch. The u-mlt of all this resceaieh was the con viction, that the tokens of lha place ol con cealment must bo found in some peculiar conformation of the earth or hills, or in some peculiar tree or ttees. "Karger concluded finally lhat the desired sign must besought among the tree. Now began anew a careful examination of the en. lite wooded district, and at last, in a solitary spot almost hiddeu from the eye, and not far from an old road, untravelled for the last fif teen years, which once led to Wallachia, was noiioed a chimp of tree in which many branches had been lopped off or partially eul, and which, on having been trimmed with tome special object in view. Next it was noticed lhat braochei fcuuj entangled in tbt thorns, bushes, and in the branches of other trees, belonged to the trees iTi the clump, which showed lhat those could not have been trimmed by the peasantry for foel. In pro cess of these examinations an elegant watch key was found and an axe-handle, which in dicated that a man of the butterclas.es had assisted in the wotk. This, taken in connec tion wiih the light nnd friable soil, Ihe pecu liar position of the trees, completely covered wiih creeping plants, the solitary position of the plnce, and yet its proximity to the Dan. ube on the one hand and lha Tutkish Servian boundary on the other, awakened in Kargnr's mind a feeling of the. highest confidence lhat the place was found. He had been instruct ed not to begin the work of removing the earth until he had unmistakable signs of hay ing found the right place ; but he was now so sure lhat on the 6th of September last a space of twenty square laihnms was maiked out, and men set lo woik examining it by digging ditches, nt intervals of a foot and a half, which were to be extended in each direction across the gore enclosed here in the bend of Iho river Albian ; on which the clump or trees stood. On Ihe 8ih of September at 8 o'clock in ihe morning, n man at work in the prolongation of the second ditch, struck something which gave a metalio ring, and a little later a well locked iron box was expos ed, taken to a place of safety and opened by foice-niid the Austrian tyrant had once more the Crown or St. Stephen in his posses sion. Locisville, October 18. from Santa Ft From the Pacific Railroad Survey Gov. Lane. Letters received from Santa Fu annonco thai Lieut. F. K. Aubrcv. of ihu Exploiing Expedition, reached Santa Fa on ihe 14th utl. He crossed the Sierra Nevada at Tegon Pass on ihe I3ih of July, and struck the Rio Del Norte nt Silerratta. The route- he says, hail no obstructions to the construc tion of eiiher a rail or wagon road. He also reports having found gold nt the crossing of the Colorado and olher pluccs. Also silver and copper ore in great abundance. The In dians ate very numerous and hostile. They fought and resisted the party for 30 days nearly all were wounded ; and Aubrey re. ceived, at differem limes, right wounds. The fighting was chiefly with the Garotes. One tiibe of indiaix, who were met 200 miles west of Senile, had gold bullets fur their guns. Gen. Lane, it was thought, would get a certificate of his election ns a delegate for Congress from New Mexico. Callagos is said to have three hundred maj.-ritybnl the voteofSan Miguel county would be rejected as illegal. Fort Atkinson has been entirely abandoned and cveiylhing removed lo Fort Keilly, leaving the road from Counril Giove to Fort I'nion entirely unprotected, so that Ihe In dian depredations were expected. An Arkansas Widow's Kkvenoe. On the morning of Aug. 29ih, says a correspondent ( the X. O. Tiue Delta, writing from Hot Springs, Aik , a widow lady who keeps a respectable boarding-house here, and nbout whom slanderous reports had been circula ted on the previous evening' by a man pre tending to be a gentleman, having heard of his conduct, proceeded in Ihe company with her brother and another person, lo inflict on the slanderer personal chastisement. The brother and his friend were armed one with a double-barrel shot-gun, and the other with a revolver. They (ihe two men) walked up the street about one hundred yards, and met Ihe slanderer, who, it appears, was also armed. They took his arms from t. tin, nnd marched him duwn the street oppo site Ihe house where the widow was, fully prepared to give him a warm reception. She was armed with a lawhide. Her brother and his friend advised their piisoner lo stand and take quietly w hat the widow was about lo give him. Seeing no chance lo escape, he had to do it, though sorely against his will. The willow commenced, and did nut ceass until she had administered SOU lashes, well laid on. The man then had his arms given j up lo him, and was advised lo leave the dig- ' giugs, which he did.

In one of my hunting exercises abroad or a fine morning, I wns accompanied by m" wife, f left my companion fur a short time, in pursuit of game, and in climbing a inisjed ledge of rocks, interspersed with shiubs and dwarfish trees, was startled by a quiuky grating rattle. I looked forward. On Uie edge of a loosened rock lay a rattle snake, coiling himself Dp as if for a deadly spring He was within a few feet of me, and I pans' ed for an instant to suivey him. I know not why, but I slood still and looked at the dead' ly serpent with estrange feeling of curiosity. SudJenly he unwound his coil, as if relenting from his purpose of hostility, and raising hie head he fixed his bright fiery eyes directly upon my own. A chilling and Indescribable sensation, totally different from anything f had ever before experienced, followed the movement of the'serpenl ; but I stood still and gazed steadily and earnestly, for at that moment there was a visible change in Ihe reptile, His form seemed to grow Niger antL his color brighter. His body moved with a slow, almost imperceptible motion towards me, and a low hum of music came fiom him --or at least it sounded so in my ear a strange, sweet melody, faint as lhat whioh melts from the throat of a humming bitd. Then the tint of his body deepencdsKnii changed to a beautiful kaleidescope-grcen,. purple, and gold ; until I lost sight of ihe serpent entirely, and I only saw wild, curi' ously-woven circles of strange colors, quiv ering around me like an atmosphere of rain bows. I seemed in the centre of a great prism a world of mysterious colors and the tints varied and daikened and lighted up again around me; and the low, sweet mu' sic went on, without ceasing, until my brain reeled, and fear, for Ihe first lime, came like a shadow over mo. The new sensation gained rapidly, and I could feel the colJT sweat gushing from my brow. I had no ceilaiuty of dangei in my mind all definite ideas of peril were vague and clouded, like Ihe unaccountable tcrrois of a dream and yet my limbs shook, and I fancied I eouIJ feci the blood stiffening wiih cold a it pas sed along my veins. I would have given worlds to have been able to bear myself fronn the spot I even attempted lo do so, but the body obeyed not ihe impulse of the mind nol a muscle slitred and I stood still as if my feel had grown to the solid lock, with the infernal musie of Ihe tempter in my ear, and the baneful coloring of his enchantment be fore me. Suddenly a new sound came upon my ear it was a human voice; but it seemed strange and awful. Again again but 1 stirred not ; and then a w hite form plunged before, and grasped my arm. The horrid spell was nn once broken. The slrange col ors passed from before my vision. The rat tle snake was coiling at my feet, with glow ing eyes, uplifted fangs, and my wife clinj ing with tetror upon me. Tho next instant the serpent threw himself upon us. My wife was the victim. The falal fangs pier ced deeply in her hand, and screams of ago ny as she staggered backwards from me, told the dieadful truth. Then it was that a feeling of madnese came upon me; and when I saw the font seipent stealing away fiom his work of death, reckless of danger I sprang forward and crushed him under my feet, grinding him to pieces 011 the ragged rock. The groans of my wife now recalled to her side, nnd to the; horrid reality of her situation. There waa a dark, livid spot on her hand, and ii deep ened into blackness as I lead her away. We weie at a considerable distance from any dwelling; and after wandering fur a shuil lime, the pain of the wound became insup portable to my wife, and she swooned away in my arms. Weak and exhausted as I was, I yet had strength remaining to carry her 10 the nearest rivulet and bathe her brow in the cold water. She partially recovered and u iVown upon the bank, while I supported her head upon my bosom. Hour after heur f ust sed away, and none came near ns and there, in the great wilderness, she died.
