T0 THE PUBLIC.
T have seen in the Raleigh Register, of Sep
tember J9lh, an account of the " Mutiny " m
the Norlh Carolina Regiment at Bucna ista,
Oil the loth ot August. As my name has
been forced into a connection with that atlair,
and the version of .the story there given is
enemllv false, 1 mav be excused for agam
bringing it up. Some parts of the article sug
gest the idea that Co!. Paine hmisclf was the
" authentic source" of the inionnation n con
tains- but I do not mean to cast any blame
'ac ctnnHiniT PMr. unrl f?irr.tPil him to bring
twenty men of his Company to the Co nnel a
tent immediately." Again : " The Lieutenant
who was ordered to bring the twenty men,
failed to do so." I do not 'wish that any issue
connected with this proceeding shou d be de
termined by my own statement, and reier again
to the evidence :

The Milwaukie (Wisconsin) paper publish

to his friends in Germany. It breathes the

SAME OLD COONS.
Although a large majority of Americans
were in favor of the war of '76, and believed
that the time had come vrhen the grievances
of England should be met, and thir authors
punished ; and such men aided in prosecuting
the war to an honorable close : yet it is equal
ly well known that in the Revolution there
were tories and cow boys, who claimed that
there was no justifiable cause of war, and that
England was right in her course. Indeed,
some were so strong for England, and so
strong against America, that although they
hved for years after the peace, yet they al
ways claimed that England was right and had
the best of the fight. But such men through
life, were " the same old coons."
In 1812, a large majority of our people
thought that we had justifiable causes for war
against England, and they stood by their
country, and we went gloriously through the
war. Ypt some maintained that the war was
unjust, and they spoke and wrote much a
gainst " Madison's wicked war," and in mee
tings voted that " it was unbecoming a reli
gious people to rejoice at victories won in
such a war ;" and some to turn the war to par
ty advantage, and to seize the reins of power,
held a secret ' Harltord Convention,' and piot
opi
that we at length ifo so. We will mention
some of the many similar occurrences on

There is a legal and proper manner prescri

king all complaints for wrongs inflicted ; and
w hen Officers fail to require a conformity to
this rule from those committed to their orders,
and for whose good conduct they are respon
sible, and allow them, under covered' night,
and the irresponsibility of a mob, to lake re
dress in their own hands, they are unworthy
the commissions they bear.
" Had the Company Officers of the North
Carolina Regiment, as a body, uniformly and
actively discharged their duties to their men
and, to the Government, the disgraceful and
unfortunate affair of last night had not hap

stigma. And most happy would it be for
them, their Regiment, for the State which they
represent, and for the country at large, could
the fact of their negligence and its consequen
ces never transpire beyond the limits ol their

States, there to be a subject of wonder and re

Accompanying this order 1 received the fol

account of a tandango which he attenaea.
From early in the morning tiil the witching
time o' night, the fiddles were screeching and
the guitars tinkling to lively measures, while
the fair-eyed senoritas and rough-looking sol
diers were tripping it on" light fantastic toes"
and solid feet. Most of the Mexican ladies
were splendid dancers, but some of our raw
Yankees, we are ashamed to hear, did their
parts very bunglingly. One of the dances
was the " Kuna," a sort of hop-waltz, but far
more lively. At the bottom of the line a short
breathing spell occurred, and while the waiter
was there, wiping the perspiration from his
face, a small edition of a scream escaped from
one " G's" partner. " What's the matter, G? '
said he. " Oh, nothing," replied G, coolly,
" I'm making mince meat out of toes, thaVs

tall, awkward juissourian, wnom tne men
wanted to dance, but " who didn't know no

and at last he was persuaded to " try his

himself of his coat. This being generally a
preparation for a fight, it caused considerable
commotion among the Mexican men, who edg

In justice to 1st Lieut. Geo. E. B. Singelta

facts which led to his discharge from the ser

At the time of the discharge, I was Orderly
of the Company which he commanded was

injuries which Mexico had heaped upon us,

existed against Mexico. And to this our
country said amen. Still, in the face of these
facts, and many more of like enormity which
could be stated, there are some whigs who
seem to lean stronger towards Mexico than
our own country. Such are like "the same
old coons." lt is not claimed that all the
whigs are in this predicament ; for to their
praise be it said that many whigs have beha
ved nobly behaved most patriotically ; be
haved like democrats, and proved themselves
good Americans. These whigs are satisfied
that the war is just that our country is in
the right, and Mexico is wrong : they know
that Mexico could at any time make an hon
orable peace, if it suited their military chief
tains! Such men know that " murder has
been proved on the Mexicans," and that their
killing many Americans before our army fired
a gun, was something more than "justifiable
homicide;" such men know that Gen Tay
lor had a right to " mount cannon on the
banks of the Rio Grande," and that they were
not mounted therefor" fun," but for use, and,
if necessary, to kill the murderers of our coun
trymen, and the hostile invaders of our soil.
Such men also act as if they believed that it
was quite as right to punish those who kill
many, as to punish him who kills one; and
if blood is to be shed for blood in the case of
an individual, it is certainly to be shed where

for, unfortunately, Jake got one of his long
legs tangled in the other; he stumbled, and
endeavoring to support himself by his partner,
they both pitched headlong into the refresh
ment stand, scattering bottles, glasses, cakes,
apples, &c, in glorious confusion, and were
themselves halt drowned in aguaardiente and
wine. In the midst ot a perfect roar ot laugh
ter, Jake with a truly melancholy phiz, scram
bled up, and limped off to the other end of the
room, cursing " not loud, but deep," Mexico,
Mexican women, fandangoes, Kunas, and ev
erything else.

Adventure with a Bear. During the past
winter a young man by the name of Joseph
VV hidden, residing in the town of kmgsberry,
while on a fishing excursion at a pond a mile
from his father's residence, succeeded in kill
ing a bear under circumstances that are well
worth relating. 11c had been fishing for some
time, and getting rather cold, put on his snow
shoes, and started on a little excursion in the
woods which surrounded the pond, leaving
his axe and gun on the ice. He had not pro
ceeded far when he discovered, at a little dis
tance, a singular hole in the snow, under the
roots of a tree that had been blown over by
the wind. On walking up to it, and stoopi rg
down to look in, he was somewhat alarmed to
see, within a foot of his nose, tht- head and
ears of a bear. He immediately ran in great
haste to the pond, determined as he says, to
pull foot for home ; but after gathering up his
things, and getiing a little over the fright, it
occurred o him that the neighbors, on hear
ing his story, would suppose he had been
frightened without cause, and would laugh at
him for his cowardice. So, shouldering his
axe, and taking the gun in his hand, he turn
ed again towards the spot, with the intention
of giving old Bruin " Jesse." On arriving he
stood the axe up in the snow, and putting the
muzzle of the gun to the hole, he " let drive"
This only served to irritate the bear, for in
the hurry he had forgotten to re-'oad,and the
gun had in it only a partridge charge.
The bear then endeavored to get out, beat
ing down the snow with her tore feet, growl
ing and snarling frightfully. Young Whid
den after discharging the gun, had stepped
back to load again, but seeing her coming,
turned in powder and shot together. By the
time he was ready the bear had succeeded in
getting part way out, and was so near him,
that on his attempting to discharge his gun at
her again, she struck it from his hands, and
endeavored to reach him ; but being so embar
rassed by the snow as not to have free rise of
her legs, she succeeded only in tearing off the
cuff of his coat. Whidden then seized the axe,

ere is but one opinion entertained by the
officers individually and cnllprtivelv of nnr

on a misrepresentation of facts, and that Col.

d.scharged, not without a trial, however.
They believe that the absolute rights vested
in you by the constitution have been shame
fully violated, and look upon the course our.

Now that the maitsr was well understood, the
excitement subsided the revelation was per
tectly satisfactory and havingthe stain, " dis

cutcheon, by the hands of the President, Lieut
Singeltary this morning hastened to join his

The Triennial Episcopal Convention, after
a session of some days, adjourned sine die on
Thursday evening last. The memorial of
Bishop Onderdonk to his brethren, for his res

elaborate reply, in which leave is granted him
to withdraw l)is memorial. This does not

and struck at her with the edge; she attemp
ted to knock this off also, but it grazed the
leg, and hit just back of the ears. The vio
lence of the blow, however, wrenched the axe
from his hands. Supposing himself at the
mercy of the bear, he turned and fled towards
home. On arriving and relating the story,
two or three young men volunteered to return
with him. On reaching the spot, they found
the bear dead. The blow was a " settler," it

The Episcopal Convention. The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Sun
says :
" The Episcopal Convention proceedings
have lost their interest, not that the high
churchmen have carried their great points
first in the passage of a cannon that allows
the House of Bishops to terminate a suspen
sion, and a vote that proclaims our diocese
not vacant and indefinite suspension, not de
gradation. Bishop Onderdonk is now in the
hands of his peers, but what they will do
with him remains to be seen with all his er
rors, he can be put back to the satisfaction of
his diocese. The laity however are not so
easily satisfied, and would object."
and like those who hung out " blue lights" to
the enemy ; like, those who resolved not to re
joice for American victories, and like those
who " stopped on constitutional principles
when they came to the line," in 1812. But
thanks to the patriotism of the people, the to
ries and cow hoys of '76, and the " moral trai
tors" of 1812, have had their deserts. There
never was more patriotism in our country
than there is now, nor a greater readiness to
reward paMiots and rebuke those who "aid
and comfort" the enemy. Are not these class
es rightly named when they are styled w the
same old coons?" The Courier's cannon points
in a different direction from Gen Taylor's; his
points at the enemy, he Courier's at our coun
try. But whatever harm is done, is only
" justifiable homicide."
The manner in which the following act of
violence, to dispoil a citizen of the South of
his property, is related, shows the spirit
which generally prevails in Pennsylvania,
whose legislature has, in this matter of recov
ering fugitive slaves, trampled on the guar
antees of the constitution. Instead of that
tone of reprobation which this act of outrage
deserved, it is narrated as if it were an achiev
ment that deserves honorable commemoration.
Fugitive Slave Case. A Southerner ar
rived at Tow Hill, Pa., on Monday last, in
search of a fugitive slave, whom he discover-
ed and arrested in a corn-neld. me owner
and his party started for Lancaster with their
prize, but were over taken at Mount Pleas
ant by a large delegation of Tow Hiilers, men
and women, who had received information of
what was going on, and started in pursuit,
determined on a rescue. These were armed
with guns, pistols, knives, clubs, handspikes,
tongs broomsticks, and such other warlike
equipments as were at hand. The party
proved too strong for the Southern gentleman,
(says the Spy,-) and succeeded in recapturing
the slave, and he was marched back to Tow
Hill, and there disposed of in such a manner
that all further trace of him was lost, and the
slave hunters may as well put him down to
the account of profit and lost. 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 despatch as his powers
of locomotion would admit.
Another Difficulty about the Mail Trans-
! portation. At a meeting of a Board of Direc
tors ot the Richmond and Potomac Railroad,
the President imformed them that the Post-Master-General
had allowed the company, in
connection with the Potomac Steamboat line,
only $7,258 75 for the mail service of the
quarter, ending the 31st ult.; a reduction of
S3, 21 7 from the pay allowed in '42, and '43,
for inferior service, lights, mails and slower
schedules. The Richmond Times says :
The Dreciors, thereupon, resolved to no
tify the Department that inasmuch as this
compensation was inadequate at any other
season of the year, it was entirely so during
the winter, where the extra expenses and ha
zards incurred by the steamboat company
alone in the transportation of the mail beyond
those of other steamboat lines, was greater
than the whole mail pay ; and further, to no
tify the Department that the company de
clines the further transportation of the mail
for this compensation, after the 10th of December.
