TRAGICAL AFlnfl9::--41TIOn other stirring inci dents of the week, we have to record one, the ter minationofwhich, resulted in the death alit colored man named Edward Stout. The facts, as we have been able to scilicet them, arc as follows : It appears from testimony had before Justice Spear, .that Henry Pheasants, alias Neuman, cod Edward Stout, ;both coloreo had a fight on Tuesday afternoon last, about something, in which Stout proved the stouter of the two. Some half or three quarters of an hour after the fight, Pheasants pro cured a gun, loaded it heavily with shot, and meet. ing Stout again, malted upon him and lodged the whole charge in his body. The shot entered the lower part of the abdomen, laying the entrails bare, and tearing them in a most shocking manner.— Stout was taken home, where he died about 11 o'clock the same evening. On Wednesday morn ing, Dr. Moore held an inquest on the body. The verdict of the Jury wi.s "that the said Edward Stout came to his death by means of a gunshot wound, received front a gun in the hands of Henry Pheasants, alias Neuman, and by him deliberately discharged." He was committed to Lancaster jail to await his trial fin. murder. Neuman has but recently been released from three years' service in the Penitentiary, to which he had been sentenced, ' we understand, for burglary. He is about 9.5 years of age, short, and thick set, and wears a counte nance crpressive of viciousness and abandonment to crime. NJ~JJJNw..- A DESPERADO CAtteir.--Churloß Shaffer, an escaped convict, from the N. Y. State Prison at auburn, was arrested by Officer Bally, on Monday List. It will be seen by reference to our Police Reports, that he was engaged in his old tricks of kicking up a spree ct every favorable opportunity; and threatening to burn down the houses of those who objected to some of his eccentricities. Luck ily fur Columbia, he was recognized by persons from Owego and Ithaca, the scenes of his former opera tions, and our Police put on the alert for him ; other wise we should probably ere this, have had several vacant corner lots, as he is an adept at incendiarism, having had much experience in that line, in the State of New York. His threats of desperate re sistance made our officers wary ; anti the complaint of Mr. Gault, the gentleman assaulted by him, was very opportune, as it afforded him no hint of the true cause of his arrest. Our readers here will feel an interest in knowing what manner of man they have been relieved of, and we avail ourselves of the information given by gentlemen from New York, for the following state ment: Some three. years since, Ithaca was extraordi narily afflicted with fires—scarcely a week passing, that some valuable property was not destroyed.— Fur a considerable time no clue could be found to their origin, but a train of circumstances finally pointed to Charles Shaffer (the John Chapman of our police report) and Wm. Davis (also an elle.° as the authors of the devastation. Sheller fled to the woods and rocky ravines between Ithaca and Owego,—to which latter place he paid an occasional visit, always leaving his mark. He was finally arrested at Owego, tried, and sentenced to 8 years' confinement at Auburn—several indictments arc pending against him, on which he will probably be tried, should he survive his term or imprisonment. Davis also took to the woods, and succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the authorities, after severely beating and almost killing Officer Lucas of Ithaca. We have not heard of his subsequent arrest. Shatter is safe in Lancaster jail, where he will await the requisition of Gov. Young. IV° neglected to notice that he had enlisted in the army, and was taken in the uniform ofa United States soldier. EVVIIANK'S firDRAULICS AND 3I ECRANICS.-WC have this moment received the first No. of this work.

York MAJOR GENERAL TOM THUMB.—The redoubta ble General Tom Thumb paid our town a flying visit on Wednesday and Thursday last, and held his levees at the Washington Hotel. The General is a great little man, and a lion, in his way. QT The top of the chimney of our sanctum tumbled over the other evening while we were quietly pursuing our editorial vocation. Perhaps there was a alight agitation among the shingles which composed the roof of the building. Jocose. lens! That night we dreamed of earthquakes, and the day of judgment. =221 liCrLate accounts from Mexico inform us that Capt. Riley, the notorious leader of the hand of de , senors, caged the Foreign Legion, has escaped hinging, nn some ground, and was only flogged, while moat of those under his command were hung. Can't account for it. Later advicr.s account for the non-suspension of Riley. fle proved that he deserted before the war, ,and of course could not be capitally punished. It is a prevailing opinion, however, that he did not ;escape flogging, and that he was branded—with a prospect of seeing all the fighting which may oc. cur hereafter. He is to march in front of the army, with a ball and chain to hi. legs. The other deserters were bung. I t . Boss Azsotatascit E.

Fccrrtys Sr. .vi CASE.—On Monday last, Tow Hill was thrown into great commotion in come t quenea of information lodged within its classid precincts to the effect that spme gentlemen from the sqnny south had succeeded in discovering and capturing about 150 pounds of human property in the vicinity. It appears that several slaveholders had come on to this place with a view to search for, and, if possible, recover some fugitive slaves ; and in their anxious peregrinations, one of the ob. ' jects of their search was recognized. There was our sable hero, seated behind a shock of corn, husk. ing most lustily, and happy in his fancied security, and a supper in prospective. Ever and anon, above the rustling of the husks, arose the classic melody of ' , Jim crack corn, I don't care, Jim crack corn, I don't care. For Masaa'p far away." There he sat, cracking his corn and his jOllCS— indulging in reminiscences of the past, cnjnying the present, and perhaps forming plans for the future, and each logically drawn conclusion was clinched with, "Jim crack corn, I don't cue Fur Nlnc.a'6" - " Here," chimed in a voice near by. The voice proceeded from a middle aged gentleman of some. what portly dimensions, who, to give the impromptu the most brilliant effect possible, suited the word with an action which left no doubt in the mind of our cornfield harmonist that an important juncture in the performance had arrived, which would re quire all the talent lie possessed to carry his part Isuccessfidly through. He accordingly commenced a retreat, which, however, thu gentleman with the portly dimensions soon checked, by disclosing to the astonished gaze of the retreating , party a suspicious looking instrument in the shape of a six barreled reveher, the magnetic attraction of which brought the retreating fugitive to a stand. The party of slave catchers now started for Lancaster with their prize, by way of the turnpike. At Mount Pleasant they wore overtaken by a large delegation of Tow 'fillers, men and women, who had received infor mation of what was going on, and started in pursuit, determined on a rescue. These were armed with guns, pistols, knives, clubs, hand-spikes, tongs, broomsticks, and such other war ike equipments as were at hand. The party proved too strong for the Sonthern gentlemen, and succeeded in recapturing the slave, and he was marched hack to Tow Hill and there disposed of in such a manner that all further 'trace or hint was lost, and the slave hunters may as well put him down to the account of profit and loss. Another slave, who was working in an adjoining field, was fortunate enough to discover , his hunters in time to make his escape to the woods, which he did with as much dispatch as his powers of locomotion would admit. =l= MErAstenor.v Sinewe.—The Coroner was called yesterday to hold an inquest at the corner of Broadway and Reade-st, upon the body of Charles Albert Jassett de la Marie, a native of France, aged 29 years, who committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself. From the testimony before the Coroner, the deceased came to this City from ' France about the Ist of September. About 12 o'clock on Sunday he went to the house of a friend in Lafayette.place, when be seemed under great mental excitement, and asked Mr. Cando if he had the same opinion of him that his sister had, together with many other strange questions. Ile also said that he I°l7o a married lady who lived in Rome, and that he intended to kill himself. He asked for a Catholic minister, and left the house about half , past 4 o'clock to look for the minister. lie went to his boarding.house in the afternoon, and retired to his room, soon after which he came down stairs and ordered a carriage, to go and ace shout a ves sel in which to return to France. About 8 o'clock in the evening the carr.iige was again ordered, saying lie wanted to SCI. the bishop, and at half-past 9 o'clock he again ordered the carriage to take hint to rice a priest, after which he retired. Yesterday morning the landlord went to his room and asked him if he would have smile breakfast, to which he replied he would take a cup of tea, at the same time saying that if anybody called to sec him to tell him their names before they were showed to his room, as also that he wished to see the priest again. lie had a pistol in his hand with which lie said be intended to kill himself. The landlord succeeded in getting it away from him. Ile said he would not disgrace his family, and would blow his brains out. The landlord then left the room, but was told in a few minutes after that the report of a pistol bad been heard from the room. Ile went to the door which he hound locked. Bursting the door open lie found the deceased lying on the bed, with a pistol lying by his side. Ile had fired two loads, one ball entering the centre of the fore head, and the other just below the region of the heart. Upon Lis table were found the following notes, written in French, the first addressed to his brother as follows: "Farewell, my good Louis, farewell, forever! Formell, likewise, my good Agatha: I dare no longer write to my father or mother, neither to Henry or his wife. 1 have become a slain to my family." The next, addressed to his mother, is: .To my mother—God or the devil wishes me to stigmatize y‘mr name. There arc two pisto shots which I have fired, without being able to kill my. self. Farewell, forgive mc !" On another piece of paper was wrAten: "Before dying, I ask pardon of those I have rendered so urrhoppy,and particurlarly to the per. son who brought one here." The deceased was of a noble family, possessed of wealth, and the only supposed cause was the fact of his having fallen in lovo with a married lady in Roma—N. Herald, Oct. 19. MM:I!= A Tomtit Sroay.—lt is stated that a man in Illunois, named Wilson Corey, while cutting down a large oak, a flash of lightning came down theltree, tore off all his clothes, made a hole in the earth five feet deep, and buried him in it up to hts neck, so fast as to make it impossible fir him to get ant.— Tie wee teemed by his friends next morning. It is added, as strange, that four panthers had been in the tree which Mr. C was cutting down, but gave nn intimation of their pretence, which was die. covered only by their being found dead in the upper branches where they had been collocated, and were .killed by the ligthning.

Dtvtstatctrr es• Marraft.—At the first step we take in geological inquiry, says the Rev. Dr. Buckland, we am struck with the immense period !of time which the phenomena presented to our view must have required for their production, and the incessant changes which appear to have been going on in the natural world ; but we must re member that time and change are great, only in reference to the faculties of the being who notes them. The insect of an hour contrasting its own ephemeral existence with the flowers on which it rests, would attribute an unchanging durability to the moot evanescent of vegetable forms, while the flower., the trees, and the forest would ascribe an endless duration to the soil on which they grow; arid thus uninstructed man comparing his own brief earthly existence with the solid frame work he in habits, deems the hills and mountains around him coeval with the globe itself. But with the enlarge. mont and cultivation of his mental powers, he takes a more just, and enlightened view of the wonderful scheme of creation, and while in his ignorance lie imagined that the duration of the globe was to he measured by his own brief span, and arrogantly I deemed himself alone the object of the Almighty's care, and that all things were created for his plea sure and necessities, he now feels Iris dependance, entertains more correct ideas of the mercy, wisdom, and goodness of his Creator; and while exercising his high privilege of being alone capable of con. teniplating and understanding the wonders of the natural world, lie learns the most important lessons —to doubt the evidence of his own senses until confirmed by patient and confirmed investigations. I= The remains of organic existence, found in the I median and other tertiaries, conduct us from the 1 colossal and imposing to the minute and microsco pic; far beds occur entirely composed of the fossil 1 relicts of animaleulites—those infinitesimal forms . now present in our lakes, rivers, and streams, in. visible to the unassisted sight, whose perfect organ. ization places them among the wonders of the erca• tion. They were formerly supposed to be little more than mere particlea of matter endowed with vitality ; but Ehrenburg has discovered in them an apparatus of muscles, intestines, teeth, different kinds of glands, eyes, nerves and organs of reproduction. Yet some of the smallest cre not more than the 24,000 th of an inch in diameter, the thickness of the skin of their stomachs are not more than the 50,000,000 th part of an inch a single drop of water having been estimated actually to contain .50,000,000 individuals. Not less astonishing is their power of multiplication, an individual of one species increas• ing in ten days to 1,000,000, on the eleventh day to .1,000,000 and on the twelfth day to 16,000,000 : while, of another kind, Ehrenberg, states that one individual is capable of becoming, in four days 170,000,000,000 ! To this distinguished naturalist we arc indebted for the developement of the fact ; that ages ago our world wan rife with these minute i organisms, belonging to a great number of species, whose mineralized skeletons actually constitute nearly the whole mass of the same tertiary soils land rocks several feet in thickness, and extending i over areas of many acres. Such is the Polirsehirf er, or polishing slate of Ellin in Bohemia, which (occupies a surface of extent, probably the site of lan ancient lake, and forms slaty strata of fourteen j feet in thickness, almost wholly composed of the silicified shields of animalcules. The size of a single one, forming the polishing slate, "amounts upon an average, and in the greatest part, to one , two-hundred-and-eighty-eight of a line, which equal ' one-sixth of the thickness of a human hair, reek , oning its average size at one-forty-eighth of a One. I The globule of the human bleed, considered at one-three hundredth is not much smaller. The blood globnles of a frog are twice as large as one l of these animalcules. As the Polirscheifer of Belin is slaty, bust without cavities, these animalcules lie closely compressed. In round numbers, about 23,- 000,000 would make up a cubic line, and would, in i fact, be contained in it. There arc 1728 cubic 1 lines in a cubic inch; and therefore a cubic inch 1 ' would contain, on an average, about 51,000,000,000 of these animals. On weighing a cubic inch of this mass, I found it to be 220 grains. Of the 41,000,- 000,000 of animals 178,000,000 go to a grain; or the silicious shield of each animalcule weighs about one.luendred-and-cighty.seven.millionth part of a grain." Such is the statement of Ehrenberg, which naturally suggests to the reflection of the French philosopher, that if the Almighty is great in great things, he is still more so in those which arc min ute; and furnishes additional data for the well Iknown moral argument of the theologian, derived from a comparison of the telescope and microscope: The one led me to a system in every star; the other leads me to see a world in every atom. The ono taught me that :his almighty globe, with the whole burden of its people and of its countries, is but a grain of sand on the high field of immensity. The other teaches me, that every grain of sand may harbor within it the tribes and families of a busy population. The one told me of the insignifi. canes of the world I tread upon. The other re. deems it from all insignificance. What is the most appropriate name for a female chemist? Ann Eliza (analyzer.) GEN. SCOTT'S SPEECH TO MB and Exciting Scene.—A. letter froth in officer of the army, published in the New York Journal of Commerce, after referring to the desperate battle of Churtsbusco, which finally routed the enemy, gives this thrilling scene : "When It was over, ttse Gen eral-in-Chief (Scott) rode in among the troops. It wonld have done your heart good to hear the shout with which they made the welkin ring. Several old soldiers seized the General's hand, wills ex. pressions of enthusiastic delight. Suddenly, at a motion from his hand, silence ensued, when, in the fulness of his heart he poured forth - a few most eloquent and patriotic words, in commendation of their gallant conduct. When he ceased, there arose another shout, that might have been heard in the grand plaza of Mrxico. During this thrilling scene, I looked up to a balcony of the church that I had been so bravely defended. It was filled by Mexican prisoners. Among them, Gen. RiEICOI7, venerable old soldier, was leaning coward, his countenance glowing, and his eyes sparkling with every manifestation of delight. I verily believe that the old venteran, with the spirit of a true soldier, upon beholding a victorious general so greeted by the brave men he had just led to victory, forgot, fur the moment, his own position—that he was defeat- I ed and a prisoner—and saw and thought only of the enthusiasm by which he was stirrounded."- THE ROSSE TE.LESCOPE.—The capacity of this instrument is wonderful. Such is its power that if a star of the first magnitude were removed to such a distance that its light would be three millions of years in reaching IV, this telescope, would neverthe less, show it to the human eye. Is it to be wondered at, then, that with such an instrument grand discoveries should be made 7 It has been pointed to the heavens, and although In the beginning only of its career, it has already accomplished many mighty things. There arc nebulous spots in the heavens which have baffled all the instruments hitherto constructed, but this telescope resolves their true character completely. Among the won derful objects which have been subject to its scrutiny is the nebula in the constellation Orion. I have had an opportunity to examine it. It is one of the most curious objects in the heavens. It is not round, and it throws off vat ious From the time of Herschel( it has been subjected to the examination of the most curious instruments, but l it grew more and more mysterious and diverse in ,its character. When Lord Ilusse's great telescope was directed to its examination, it for a bug time resisted its power. Ile found it required patient examination—night after night, and month after , month. At length u pure atmosphere gave him the resolution of its constitution; and the stars of which it is composed burst upon the sight of man for the first time.—Mechanics Magazinc. A correspondent of the Boston Journal mentions the arrival at that port of a man whose strange case is thug discribed: "This afternoon I saw one of the most pitiful objects that ever lived—a man breathing through an apeture in his wind.pipe, about mid way from the sternum to the chin. This aperture was made by a musket ball in Mexico, in one of the late bat tles. He scarcely breathed at all through the throat, and had nearly, if nut quite lost the power of articulation. It was with great difficulty that he could make himself understood, as he could neither read or write. He could hear distinctly and I make signs to convey his meaning, which with great difficulty were intelligible. He tried hard to speak so as to be heard, but the volume of breath neccessary to liarm a word or sentence, passed out of the wind pipe at the apeture, before reaching the throat, and prevented articulation. This aper ture had healed, and a silver tube was inserted to assist respiration, which was performed with great difficulty. This tube was attached to his neck by a string. lie had also been wounded in one of his legs." Ilis name is supposed to be Scammon, and it is l i believed he was originally from Saco, Me. BRUTAL Fictrr.—Two bullies, known as Awful Gardner and Alex. 3leFee, attended by their friends, went yesterday morning to Spuyten Duyvel Creek, about 5.1.5 miles from the City, for the purpose of a prize right. Not many persons were present, as the matter was not generally known, and there was no interference on the part of the police. The fight lasted G 9 minutes; 33 rounds were gone through with, when the Yankee Sullivan, who was present as the friend of Mel Fee, withdrew his man from the ring, to save him from being killed. At the time he could scarcely stand, his face was beaten to a jelly, and he had received several severe injuries about the neck. One blow in particular behind the ear, not only felled him, but WWI followed by a copious discharge of blood from the throat, that for a moment choked him severely ; probably lie can never recover from the wounds ho received. Tlm sum of money at stake was 9300.—N. Y. Tahune. CURIOUS CASES OF MAD:SEM—The Boston Trans cript says that several instances of alienation of mind produced by reading the details of the Praslin murder, are mentioned in the French papers. Ono young lady, recently married, holds the husband of her choice in such dread, that she barricades her. self in in her chamber by night, awl repels all his advances by day as so many attempts at assassina. lion; and their honey moon is not yet ended. A workman at St. Etienne was suddenly stricken with madness after reading the horrible accounts of Praslin tragedy. Placing himself before a mir ror with a pistol, he shot at the reflection of his person, exclaiming, " I'm going to kill myself." Then at the report of the pistol, and covered with fragments of glass, he fell to the floor, crying " Pm dead." He has ever since been under the delusion that ho is in the land of spirits; and when food is offered him he repels it, trith the remark, " the dead do net cat." STAND IN AMONGST THE PING."—A peal story is told of a Yankee who went for the first time to a bowling alley, and kept firing away at the pins to the imminent peril of the boy, who so far from having any thing to do in "setting up" the pins, was actively at work in an endeavor to avoid the ball of the player, which was rattled on all sides of the pins, without touching them. At length the fellow seeing the predicament the boy was in, yel. lcd out as he let drive another ball, "Stand in among the pins, boy, if you don't want to get hurt." gaVrtiv.

He is as black as the negro generally is, and has rings around his arms and legs, the skin upon his breast and abdomen is white, and there is a white streak commencing at the top of his forehead and running an inch or so up his head, the hair on this part of his head being as white and as soft as iamb's wool. The white is remarkably clear, and contrasts sin gularly with the black skin, which covers the other parts of his body. The boy is three years old, was born in Johnston county in this State, and seems to be smart for one of his age. INVIOLABILITY or Coxressimvs.—Some time ago a Mr. Rotten, in Baltimore, was robbed of sundry valuable papers, which were taken from a desk in his office by means of a false key. Some days after, the papers were returned to Mr. Rotten by Rev. Mr. Hickey, a priest of the Catholic Church and a young man, named Greacen, was arrested as the supposed robber. On Monday last Mr. Greacen was brought to trial. There wag no evidence to convict him, and Rev. Mr. Hickey was called to the stand. He refused to testify, the facts having come to his knowledge under the soul of confession. His right to refuse was admitted by the court, and Mr. Greacen was acquitted. Bei ! dence tending to prove him innocent was adduced on the part of the defence, and strong testimony of good character was given in his favor.
