f:i an answer to a letter addressed to Mr. ’ ■ --
Duffle? by his constituent* at Abbeville, he d?
dines being a candidate for Congress, at Vp ^
bUin? election, on account of ill hes* .
states, that if his health should not imp. •
tv next two months, he will be compelled to ie
si his seat for the unexpired term for which
he has been elected. ___.
imwriant!—The whole State of Kentucky has
t been bribed by the Bank of the United
States* and it is highly probable that the State
* f ,ndiana has also been bribed! Louisiana w as
bribed about a month ago! There never was
{l a system of bribery carried on since the
^ ld began; and the beauty of it is, “the party
.a’’ are the very persons who take the bribe!
hope the very excellent advice so fre
,'ntlv given at this season of the year, with re
!!' Id to fruit, vegetables, intemperance of any
£lld exposure, &c. &c. will, at this time,
t-.nuigliout the country, be carefully followed
-id practised. To do so, requires only a mode
, lU> share of prudence and self denial.
The appearance of the crops of the staple
productions of the Southern States are said to
extremely flattering. The New OrleansBul
• -t n of the 31st ultimo says that those of Loui*
ina> Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South
Carolina. Georgia, and Florida, will tar exceed
that of any previous year.
U.'w appear to have become almost as conta
„\ i< as the cholera. In addition to the recent
at Charlestown, Mass, must be added
° ies 0f a similar character which have been
habited, during the present week, at Philadel
1 A iere disturbances of the peace, and vio
J Y;ot law OI a most disgraceful description
{ ...‘Occurred. In the iatter instance, it would
that the rioters were guilty of excesses
>( i uier-* wuiitoness—no cause having been
„ vea u> fur as we have seen, nor any object
T u stated which would account for the dis
turuances. The vengeance of the rabble ap
,jeal, to have been directed against the blacks,
were made to sutler severely from the ef
fects of their fury. . ..
WV trust that these repeated instances of law
less violence, will have the etfect to call forth
t-,t* attention of the state governments, and the
o immunity at large, to the exigency of the times.
Ways and means must be devised to put an end
to mob law and mob government, or it w ill not
w lrn<g before a general scene of outrage upon
tl,t* public peace, upon tliedi elliags, the pro
perty, and the citizens, will be displayed thi ough
out the country. It is a subject that cannot be
tntl-d with. If mobs are not suppressed, they
will destroy the peace of the country and hazard
ttie lives ot the inhabitants. Such a state of
thing', in prospect, may not uiuKe a deep im
pression upon the public mini), er gicatly cxcit*.
the public feelings. But tiie specimens cfmob
supremacy which have been recently experi
enced, will not soon be forgotten by those who
have been w itnesses of them.
We understand that the females in the con
vent at Charlestown, who were awakened from
their sleep by the attacks of the rioters upon tne
building where they were, were driven in the
dead of the night from their beds into tne yard
which surrounded the convent, without any
thing to cover them but the r night dothes, and
no human protector to shield them ti nn danger
and from violence, in this forlorn and dis
tressing situation, they were under the necessi
ty of scaling a wall of twelve feet in height,
which, in a most extraordinary manner, they ac
complished, by helping each other to climb to
the top, Irom w hence they effected their escape,
by leaping to the ground, which in some places
upon the outside was not less than fifteen feet.
Some of them falling among bushes had their
clothes torn from them. Some of them had
limbs broken, and all of them suffered severely
Irom the bruises they experienced, and the shock
which they sustained from fear, and from the
manner of their escape. All, or nearly all of
them, lost their wardrobes, books, beds, and the
various nece saries w hich their friends had pro
vided for them in the seminary.
Alter recovering from the effects of leaping
from the wall, those who were not disabled, tied
for shelter either to their homes, in some in
stances two miles distant, or to houses in the
neighborhood where they could find admittance.
The probability is, that among such a number
ot dehcate young females, many of them will
never recover from the shock which their con
stitutions must have received from tl»e events of
t:iat memorable night.
Such things cannot be tolerated in a commu
nity which is professedly governed by laws, and
where the security of persons and property is
the great object of the social system. We,
therefore, repeat the remark, that Kays and
men ns must he decis-tl to put an end to meft law
ami m->h porermnent. If the laws now in ex
istence aie sufficient, let them be enforced, and
let the culprits who shall be convicted of having
been actively engaged in these outrageous trans
actions, feel their heaviest penalties. A suitable
number of examples of this sort will have a
most salutary effect; whilst every attempt to
palliate or tamper with the spirit and mischief
will increase the evil. When mobs make their
appearance, and begin their work of devasta
tion. military t *rce should be forthwith employ
ed to suppress them. When the civil arm is so
fortunate as to lay hold of those who are ac
tively engaged in mischief, let the penalty of
tiie law take its way, and be meted out to them
without mitigation. If the rioters in this city in
April last had been properly dealt with by the
tribunals of justice, we should not have been
disturbed by those which have more recently
occurred amongst us. A year’s faithful service
m getting out stone on Blackwell’s Island, will
go far towards curing a mobbish spirit not on
ly in the individual who suffers the punishment,
but in many others who may dread to meet the
reward of their own misdeeds.
A Vic York Daily Adr.
rerrific Combat.—About eleven o'clock in the
forenoon, we cast anchor in the Burchura Nud
u e, with an extensive forest on both sides;
vien at about a hundred yards from us, an al
ligator came out of the river, to enjoy his noon
tide sleep in the rays of the sun. After remain
• ng.tbere about an hour, apparently in a sound
^eep, we observed an immense tiger emerging
ffora the jungle, and bending his steps towards
t^e place where the alligator lay. In size the
tiger exceeded the largest we had seen, and
•u? broad, round face, when turned towards us,
striped with white, his fierce eves, with the
amazing apparent strength of his limbs, made
the stoutest heart on board tremble at the
thought of encountering such a dreadful foe.
" ith the most cautious pace imaginable, the
’ err approached the alligator, his raised foot
: remained up for some seconds before he replac
ed it on the ground; and so he proceeded till he
ceme within the power of his leap, when exert
! ra'l his strength, and bounding from the earth,
: l.e descended immediately upon the alligator’s
back, -uid seized it by the throat. The monster
' f the deep roused from its slumber, opened its
tremendous jaws, and lashed its terrific tail;
and while the conflict lasted each seemed to ex
ert his utmost strength. The tiger, however,
had the advantage, for he had grasped the alli
gator in a part of the neck, which entirely pre
vented him from turning his head sufficiently
round to seize his antagonist, and though many
severe blows were inflicted on the body of the
tiger, by its saw-like tail, the noblest beast of the
forest, when the battle was concluded, shook his
brawny tail, and seemed unconscious of any
pain.
Having overcome the alligator, he dragged it
a little further on the shore, and sat over it
exactly in the attitude of a cat over a captive
mouse; he then took the creature in his mouth
and gently walked off with it into the jun
gles. About ten minutes after, we saw the ti
ger emerge from the forest; and after gazing at
us for a few minutes, and perhaps imagining that
we were too far from the shore to allow him to
add us to the number of his trophies of victory
and blood, heslowly pursued his course in a dif
ferent direction to where he had left his prey,
and we saw him no more. In less than an hour
afterwards, the alligator, which had been stun
ned, but not killed, crept out of the jungle, and
though evidently injured, yet with some difficul
ty reached the river. He however was too much
lacerated to remain long in the water, and soon
came again to land, but took the precaution of
exposing but a part of his body, and keeping
his face towards the shore; he continued but a
a very short time, and again launched into the
deep, repeating his visits to the beach almost
every quarter of ar. hour while we remained.—
The sight was dreadfully magnficent, and one,
we believe, which is very seldom witnessed.

PHILADELPHIA MARKET—August 16.
Flour and Meal.—The sales of superfine ex
tend to about 2,500 barrels; in the euriy part of
the week, 600 bbls. fresh ground brought S3 1-4;
since when, several parcels at 5 3-8; and seve
ral hundred bbls. made of new wheat at 5 1-2;
the receipts continue small, the demand and
i sales only moderate: 5 1-2 is the established ask
ing price. Rye has advanced to 4 00; and as
the market is quite bare, and but little Grain to
; make it, it is supposed the price will be main
i tained.
The operations in Corn Meal are to a const
! derabie extent; sales in the fore part of the
I week at $2 87 1-2; since when, 1,500 bbls. have
met with a brisk sale at 3 00. being an advance
12 l-2c., which tends to reduce the stock very
! considerably.
drain.—We quote Southern yellow Corn as
dull at 68c; sales of 2 or 3 cargoes have been
made at that price; white is in good demand at
66c; 1 cargo new Oats brought 31c. on the 12th;
since then it has declined, and two cargoes were
sold at 29c. A cargo of prime new Wheat was
bought by a starch maker at 110c. The arriv
’ als of new Southern Wheat have as yet been
limited: sales of a small lot red at 108; and for
prime 110c. Rye is quoted at 65c. and without
sales. _

Western at 5.50 a 5 62, which is a rise of half a
dollar in two weeks; this improvement is owing
to the very limited stock at market, small sup
plies arriving, and want of water to permit mil

Friend Snowden—In noticing the Report of
our excellent Board of Health, in the paper of
this morning, 1 was particularly struck with the
newly discovered fact, that a certain species of
fruit, taken into the system, is, by some unknown
cause, in the course of a few hours, transmuted
into a very different sort—for example, that
“ damsons” become “ plums.” Now, 1 should
be glad of an explanation upon this point. The
Board, when they next convene, had better take
the same into consideration, and as we have in
the District an Horticultural Society, it wall no
doubt be delighted at this important discovery;
and epicureans will exult in the speedy process
of improvement, unless the gastronomic opera
tion should be deemed unpalatable.
