"Excitement upon •the Border—A Cili
zzettif .qroostook County Arrested by Bri
-iish dluthority and Rescued by . 1 1merican
Arms.—We learn, says the Phila. Mercul
ry, from the Bangor IVhig. that an Ameri
can citizen by the name of Daniel Savage,
living within the jurisdiction of the State
of Maine, and claiming the protection of
her laws,has been carried off on a civil suit
by individuals.know n to he authorized a
gents of the authorities of tip -, Province of
New Brunswick, on the 11th inst., and as
the U.iited States Troops aided in affecting
this rescue, the case must be an exciting
one; but no particular account of the cir
cumstances has been given.
A meeting was held by the citizens of
Hancock Plantat ions, and resolutions
adopted recommending that measures be
immediately taken to a%oid collision with
the authorities of New Brunswick, and ap-
pealing to the government through their
representatives for protection.
• .The resolution also embraced a vote o
thanks to Capt. Webster, commanding the
S. Troops at Fort Kent, "for so
',-..iromptly furnishing assistance to the civil
authorities to recapture our citizens on our
own soil, as defined by the la?e treaty, and
tel'aecure and bring the offender to justice."
What the result will be, is uncertain;
but we fear that the difficulties will not
end here.
Export of Bread Stuffs.—lt appears
from the official returns, that the whole
quantity of flour exported from the United
Stiltes in the year ending in September,
1841. was 1,529,647 barrels, of which
833,255 barrels, of considerably more
than half, went to Great. Britain and her
Itolontes. The whole quantity of wheat
exported in the same year, was 868,585
bushels, of which 850,865 bushels being
,nearly4he whole, went to England and her
dependencies. 'it is supp-sed that the

township of Camden, IsTew Jersey. The
second count charges the murder to have
been committed with a ball from a six
barrelled pistol. In the third count, the
killing is char g ed as having occurred on
the river Delaware, within the concurrent
jurisdiction of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania—and Mercer was first arrested and
prosecuted in New Jersey. Judge Elmer
will preside at the trial, assisted by Judge
Norris. A large number of witnesses have
been named, but it is thought that many
of them will refuse to go forward and tes
tify. as the details are not likely to do
ouch honor to the parties who were en..
gaged, directly or indirectly, in the affair.
Fire in Louisville.--On Friday night
last about midnight, to appearance from
reflection, the whole city of Louisville was
on fire. It was the buildings on the cor
ner of Main and 7th streets. Several
small brick building and the rear of the
Western Hotel wore damaged, also the
tobacco warehouse of W. N. Bullet & Co,
Several small frame buildings were entire

hogsheads of tobacco were destroyed.—
The snow fell thick, which prevented the
further spread of the conflagration. The
whole atmosphere was illuminated. It

dits.—The 'Charleston Courier learns
from Captain Smith, of the sehooner Fran
cis Cannaday,atiivitd at- that city, that a
second shock of an earthquake was es.-
perienced at the north part of Guodaloupe,
on the 3d inst. At the time a captain of a
vessel off the north point of the island sta
ted that it shook his vessel with much se—
verity that it was with difficulty the crew
could keep their feet. A dense cloud of
smoke ascended from the vicinity of Bas•
satre, and serious fears were entertained
fur the safety of that place. It was quite
sickly at Point Perre, caused from the of
fensiveness of the ruins of the town, A
shock of an earthquake was also felt at
St. Thomas on the sth inst., about half
past nine o'clock at night. No material
damage was done.
Election of State Printer.
On last Monday the Legislature attempt
ed to elt ctri State Printer,for three years,
in accordance with the provisions of the
law lately ad - opted. but after spending the
day in hallotting and debating, the matter
was pnsponed until to day 12 o'clock• We
observe that our neighbors of the Advos
caw and Gazette were canditiates, and
each got one vote. Mr. Hultz voted for
D. N. White and Mr Sheridan voted for
G. Parkin; we don't think that either ofl
them will be elected. Mr. Bratton of the
State Capital Gazette, and Mr. Dimock of
the Reporter, appear to be the two prom-1
inent candidates. On the 21 ballot the i
former received 52 votes and the latter
53. Those who voted for Mu. Braxton i
were all democrats, while a majority of I
1
Mr. Dimmock's- supporters were whigs
and 'blue noses.'
We d not rightly understand the course
pursue 3 by the democratic mein bets in
this matter. Mr. Bretton, we believe was
settled on in caucus as the candidate of
the party, of his competency to perform
the work, we think there could be no
doubt, and so far as we have observed, bis
democracy is more reliable and consistent
than that of any of the other Harrisburgh
offices. We are at a loss then, to know 1
why he was not elected, or why the dem
ocratic
members would not support the
caucus nomination. _, There were sime
democrats voted with the whigs that we
were surprised to find in such company
and we hope the reasons that induced them i
to pursue the course they did, are suffi •
cient to justify their conduct.

Extraordinary feat of Horsemanship.—
The Cork Examiner states that an immense
crowd flocked to all parts of that city, for
the purpose of getting a chance to witness
a daring exploit performed by a person
named Hughes, in drivingfiftecn horses in
hand. The horses were harnessed to ace
hicle resembling a mail coach, and he han.
died the ribbons, and turned the different
corners, with as much seeming ease as if
he was only driving tsndem. The horses
were remarkably beautiful and docile aui•
mats, and obeyed with singular precision
and unity of purpose the movements of
their able whip.
This is a feat that McCuLtum. whose
skillful management of four horses at the
Amphitheatre, has made him so popular,
might prartfrp.
Ern/grafi »i. —lt is said in the eastern

encouraged by the Government still more
extensively than hitherto, in hopes per

concerted and suffering, among the popu
lation, to enjoy more quiet and security at
home. It is stated in a Liverpool paper,
that there will be a very large emigration
of working people from that part to the
United States. A considerable portion of
them will proceed to New Orleans. They

Santa Fe Trade:—The Western Mis
sourian of the Bth, published at Indepen—
dence in that State, says:
'We are assured upon the most respect
' able authority, that there is now a combi•
nation forming on the Indian territory on
the Western border of this county, for the
purpose of robbing the Santa Fe and Chiv
huahua traders as they return this spring:
and we have so much confidence in the
source of this information that we cannot
for a moment doubt its authenticity. Men
are engaged in the combination who are
well known to this community, and an ex
position of their names, (which by the by,
prudence dictates would not be expediv
ent at this time,) would strike many with
surprise and chagrin. There are several
either actually engaged with this banditti
or conniving at their purposes, who pass
among us as respectable citizens and hon
est men; and who, but for this accidental
discovery might is we consumated their
designs with impunity. Such are the facts
the particulars may be given ',erecter.'
The Missouri Reporter says:--A peti
tion signed by many citizens of Jack , on

of War,requesting . him to order the troops
no A' stationed of Fort Levenworth,to march
immediately to the protection of the traN
tiers. We are surprised that any citizens
of this State should be concerned in so vil-
lainous a c•rospirary, and we think justice
requires a full exposure of their names and
rascality.

Heroism of an .9ffghan Girl--.Bn Una
gazetted trait of Gltuznee.—While the
Afghans were disputing the entrance
the British army into the citadel, an incl.
dent occurred which for a moment diver•
ted the attention of the combatants, and
turned their fury into pity. Amongst the
foremost of the party who signalized them
'selves by their despet ate gallantry, was
an aged chieftain, the richness of whose
costume excited general attention, his tur
ban and weapons being resplendent with
jewels. The hope of plunder immediate
ly marked him out as an object of attack,
and numbers at once assailed bins. He
defended himself like a man who knew
there was no chance of life, but who was
resolved to sell it as dearly as he could.—
He hail killed several of the Queen's
Royals, and severely wounded Captain
Robinson. when a grenadier of the com
parry to which the latter belongedo4eeing
his officer in danger, rushed to his as
sistance, and with a thrust of his bayonet,
brought the gallant old chieftain to the
ground. The grenadier was about to
despatch him, when a beautiful girl, about
seventeen, fhr.w herself into the melee,
and plunged a dagger in his breast. She
then cast herself on the body of the chief..
tain, for the purpose of protecting it, and
the Affghans, forming a sort of rampart
before them, maintained their ground tin.
tit the heroic girl succeeded in getting it
conveyed into the interior of the citadel.
Shortly slier the place was taken,
she was found weeping over the re
mains of the brave old man; who, on en
quiry, we learned was her father. She
was treated with the utmost respect ar.d
tenderness by our men, who neither ob•
truded themselves on their grief, nor of
fered any interruption to the preparations
which she made for his interment.--Bos
