1ITJ4.. The United States ship Yinccnnes, reached
I'm port Friday evening. Tlie following ai
mint of the lalmM ot the Expedition, linn boon
furnished to the public prints by some of the
oflirorponirfiRod in it:
The Exploring Squadron sailed from the U
nited States on the lth of August, 1SIH, and
has been absent nearly four years : during
which time, we learn that the different cs
eu'lit have sailed about four hundred tliousmd
miles. The Expedition has thoroughly exe
cuted every part of the duties confided to it by
the government.
The .positions assigned on the charts to
several vigias, reefs, shoals, and islands, have i
been carefully looked for, run over, and found
to hare no existence in or near the places as- ;
Binned them. !
Several ot the principal groups and islands!
in the Pacific Ocean have b.ien visited, e.ain-i
iued and surveyed ; a friendly intercourse and
protective commercial regulations established !
with the chiefs and natives; aggressions on
cur citizens and commerce redressed, and a '
justly merited punishment meted out in some
U.igraut cases ot unprovoked an I cold blooded
murder.
The discovery of the Antarctic Ocean (An
t:ireti3 Continent observations for fixing the
Southern magnetic pole, &c.) preceded thoM
ot the French and English expeditions.
The report which has been in circulation, of
Cuptain Koss having run over rotne portion of
the land discovered by this Expedition, is un
founded. No land to the eastward of DiO de
crees of cast longitude was discovered, seen or
claimed by the American Expedition, as ap
pears by Cnpt. Wilkes's report to the Navy De
partment, published in IS10, after the return of
the squadron to New Zealand. If this siatc
incnt originated with Captain Ross, based upon
tlie particular chart of the Antarctic ice, and dis
coveries of land, with tho full explanatory let
ter which was furnished him by Captain Wilkes,
(jirevious to Captain Ross's Antarctic crui.e,)
lie (Captain Ross) must have taken that portion
of hind reported to have been seen by llellnniy
in 11!), which was represented on it as being
or l(Vi degrees east longitude, or therea
bouts, and which the American Expedition had
never seen or heard of until its return to Sidney.
N. S. V., alter their discovery in the Antarctic
Ocean.
C i plain Ross, according to this report, has ne
ver passed ocr, or gone so far west, as 100 de
grees east in longituds 07 degrees south ; conse
quently he could not have ecenthe land discover
ed mid claimed by the American Expedition, but
M'Cins to have run over the position where land
is reported to have been seen by his own coun
tryman Bellamy.
The Expedition, during his absence, havcalso
examined and surveyed a large portion of the
Oregon Territory, a part of Upper California,
including the Columbia and Sacramento Rivers,
with their various tributaries. Several explo
ring, parties from the Squadron have explored,
examined, and fixed those portions of the Ore
gon Territory least known. A map of the Ter
ritory, embracing its Rivers, Sounds, Harbors,
Coasts, Forts, & c-, has been prepared, w hich
will furnish the government with a mass of val
uable inforuintion relative to its possessions
of the Northwest Coast, an J, the whole ol Ore
gon. Experiments were made with the pendulum,
on "Molina IW on the Island of Hawaii, one
ofthe Sandwich Island, at a height of 1 1,000
feet above llic level of the sea. Topographical
surveys and views were made of some cf its ac
tive and init extensive craters.
Experiments have been made with the pendu
lum, magnetic apparatus, and various other in
struments, on all occasions the temperature
ofihenecan, at various depths, ascertained in the
different seas traversed, and full meteorologi
cal and other observations kept up during the
cruise.
('harts of all the surveys have been made,
w ith views and sketches of headlands, towns or
villages, &c, with descriptions of all that ap-
pertains to the localities, productions, language,
customs and manners. I confined, they remarked that they had killed

The tender Flying Fish, which had accom

until reaching Singapore, was so much used up
by hard service, that it was deemed imprudent to
hazard the lives of men and officers in her, fur a
passage around the Cape at thnt season, without
considerable delay for thorough and extensive
repairs. She was, therefore, disposed of at that
port, under the direction ol the American Con
sul. About eighty dist rested American seamen
have been received and shipped on board the
vessels of squadron, at the different ports and

climate, the general health of the squadron
has been without a precedent. Rut one offi
cer (Mr. Vanderlord, master's mate who died
on tho passage home) and only eight of the
men have died from disease.
The officers, scientific gentlemen and men,
have been constantly employed, as will appear
by the labor performed, and the results of the
cruise.
In addition to the hir'jc collections already
received from the Expedition, the Vinccnnes
has now on board a large and valuable col

Horrible Murder ly Negroi-a
In our paper of Tuesday last, we mentioned
the mysterious uurder of a man named Todd,
in the Parish of Concordia. It is now ascertai
ned that this was but one of a series of murders
committed by two negro men named Joseph
and Enoch the former belonging to Mr. Vooi
bees, on Bayou I)c Glaize ; the other did be
long to Mr. 11. Duran.also on Rayou De (Jlaize,
but was sold toa gentleman near New Orleans.
The Clerk of the steamer Sun Flower, has
furnished the Natchez Free Trader with a de
tailed account of their infamous proceedings.
One of the murderers was caught, on the "th
instant, near Union Point, on the Mississippi,
the other making his escape though not with
out having had several balls tired at him, and
ishiiposcd to have been wounded, though not
caught, it is to be hoped that he will soon lie
brought to pay the penalty of his atrocious
crimes. It appears that the negro boy Enoch
after being sold, ran away from his master, and
returned to Rayou De CJlaize, and fell in with
the boy Joseph, whom he jiersuaded oil" with a
yellow girl named Margaret, known to some as
having belonged to a planter on the above Ba
you that after persuading Joseph and this gill
oir, they armed themselves and commenced the
work of destruction and death. They procee
ded first to the house of Mr. Noah Herrington,
on Red River, near the cut-oil' whom they kil
led, carrying oil the daughter ol Mr. II. w ith
them, whom they kept in the woods some six
weeks, using her with unheard of cruelly, plat
ting vines together and whipping her until from
torture she was compelled to yield to their hel
lish purposes, and at other times ticing her up
to a tree as a mark to 1 1 loot at.
They then killed another man, whose name
is not known. Alter committing this murder,
on returning to the place where Miss H. was
The buy Joseph, immediately after his cai
lure, enrles.-ed that he killed both Mr. llering
loii and Mr. Todd, and the other person, but
HMcd that he had been forced to do il by Enoch ;
who tirt-t enticed him lu run away. No white
person was implicated.
A tier this confession, it was deliberately re
xi!ved that the negro should be burned alive.
The terrible scene is thus described by the
1'iee Trader :
"The Imv was taken and chained toa tree
immediately on the bank of ihe Mississippi, on
what is culled Union Point. Faggots were
then collected and piled around him, to which
j h appeared quite indillereul. When the work
j wus completed, he was asked what ho had to
say, lie then warned u to take example by
linn, and acd the prayers or all around ; he
thou culled for a drink of water, which was
J hanJeJ him ; he drank it and said: Now set
fire I am ready to die in peace !" Tho torch
es were lighted and placed in the pile which
soon limited. He watched unmoved the cur
ling flame as it grew, until it began to entwine
itself around and feed opon its body ; then he
sent forth cries of agony painful to the ear, beg
ging some one to blow his brains out, at the
same time struggling with almost superhuman
strength, until the stable with which the chain
was fastened so the tree (not being well secu
red) drew out, and he leaped from the burning
pile. At that moment the sharp ring of seve
ral rifles were heard the body ofthe negro fell
a corpse on the ground. He was picked up by
some two or three, nnd again thrown into the
fire and consumed not a vestigo remaining to
show that such a being existed.
The yellow girl was taken to Natchez, in the
custody of Mr. C. S. I.ynian, who will deliver
her up to the proper authorities at Vidalia I a.

The Revenue Bill has not yel been passed, ul-
though the deficiency in the Treasury amounts to
nlhiiil one million a month, which is consisutly ad
, ding that amount lo the debt of ihe nation. vl
under all these circumstances, a majority of our de
legation in Congress have the hardihood to oppose
a revenue tariff, which is absolutely riece-ary to
support Ihe government. Instead of this they re
sort to borrowing money, and thus extend nur na
tional debt. It is generally conceded by all parties.
j ht aduty ..fa lo HO millions i necessary to carry
I " ,n government. Now all that we ask is, that
this sum shall be so distributed, or rather, that Ihe
duties shall be so imposed, a to protect our own
manufactures and mechanics, and consequently our
farmers and citizens generally, by placing ihe grea-
" ,n"unt of du,v " ,,'' we c" ,nttke-
and a small amount on such articlea as we must
import. Fur instance, lei a heavy duty be laid on
iron, coal, broadcloth, silks, wines and liquors; while
le, coffee, dc, wl ieh ae articles that we cannot
raise, and which are necrss ries amor g both the rich
and the poor, should be subject to but a small duly,
if nny. We could hardly suppose thnt any sens.ble
man would object to such a course ; but politicians
now a days on y attend to lh- interests of the pco-
le, w hen those interests happen to coincide with
their own. To make the caae more clear, aippo.-e
a farmer made purchase of foreign merchandise to
the amount of $100 a year, the one half of w hich
should be paying just the same amount of revenue,

Ma. E nl ton c The Hunbury Gazette ef last

live Tii ill', over Ihe signature of A. K, The Edi
tor, in referring to s aid article, tells his readers that
it contains "undeniable facts," Why docs he fiot
also tell them that it contains misrepresentations ?
Whether Ihe writer himself is ignorant ef the sulw
j ct be write on, or whether he think the peoi.li)
are, j not for me to decide ; one thing is certain,
he makes gross representation. He asks "how do
aui h duties opente to encourage or sustain home

sing their pdee." Now, in order lo see whrlher
would put on then own exorbilint prices, and we
would have lo submit lo their imposition! Is th
n0 frequently the case with individuals! Does
not the mini of large capital sometime commence
underselling hi neighbor of limited resources, for
, the veiy purpose of bieaking him down, and thus
get rid of competition, nnd then sell at his own
' prices !
' If the editor of the Gazette wishes to tell his rca
! ders nothing but the truth, he will correct the im-
pres ion his editorial was intended to make. Per
' baps he is too young to know what the prices of
j cotton good were before they were manufactured
; in this country. Free liade does very well in the
