Mail packet Fortune, on Tuesday morning, reported '|hs loss of the Memphis and St. Francis river JgLcket Comet, during the storm of Saturday light. It is said she capsized, drowning ten SStoersons, among them her clerk, John S. Pope, 4 Runaway Necsro Arrested.—A runaway Hegro was arrested on Tuesday evening last, In the swamp, on Little Hill, some three miles South east of Des Arp, in Jackson county. Several gentlemen of our town, while out Punting, di-covered in a board shanty a quan tity of provisions. They secreted themselves Sear by, and after waiting several hours, iSeard a signal made by striking an axe against * log or tree. Soon after a negro man ap proached the hut with an axe in his hand, iarcfully looking around him. One of the party ordered him to stop—upon which the pegro raised the axe, showing fight, and run te was fired at, and again ordered to stop that •I,. shouldn’t he hurt—but he continued to Hin—the second shot brought him down, .but le rose and took to the water. After swim ,:-Jfcg some quarter of a mile he stopped and Sink beneath the surface, leaving his nose find mouth out of the water. The party pur sued him in a dug-out, driving him back to Jme high ground, and after a good deal of Rouble succeeded in capturing him—the ne jro declaring to the last that lie had rather die Plan to be taken. He was brought to town on Wednesday. He was seriously if not fatally .k. M..x conntul chrtf flTOfl H t him* Btedical.aid was promptly procured, and every jjfxertion will be made to save his life. He jives his name as London—says he belongs to Thomas W. Steele, Esq., near Little Hock, ^jnd lias been from home over three months. I London states that YYrin. Combs—who killed SVren Carter, on upper Surrounded Hill, in Slovember last—was with him, and that jjtombs sent him up to the shanty to see if ail yas right, in order that they might get some thing to eat, and spend the night there. I gy YVe are indebted to a friend for the •following paragraph, and trust that the party Interested will “enjoy the joke” as well as cur readers: i “In the land of Uz, there was a man whose Ijpame was Job, who, on account of sore afflic jllions, become exceedingly disquieted.” Ihe ;§|pilicUons and trials of this venerable man of ■Bud, several Sabbaths ago, became the theme -;»f public presentation from one of our pulpits. iTlie Reverend gentleman after expatiating for 3 while on his trials and the peculiar circum stances by which he was surrounded,exclaim ed, in language addressed by Jehovah to the patriarch himself, “YVliy art thou disquieted, Sh! Job?” Now it so happens that there lives Jn the town of lies Arc a certain man named <job(e), who from a similarity of name and a ;i|S|imilarity of phisiognomy, as he is a literal personification of “patience on a monument,” supposed to be a lineal descendant of the “Patriarch of Uz.” This man was present Ht the aforesaid delineation of the character Cf his illustrious ancestor, and from a too close proximity to a heated stove, like his great prototype, become “exceedingly disquieted” and exhibited great symptoms of restlessness. About this time the preacher with his usual Beal propounded the quest!oil, “Why art thou 4»squicted oh! Job,” when the patriarch of *v®f'a Arc very naturally supposing he was ■rant and that his interminable “itching and Scratching” had arrested the searching glance «* the occupant of the pulpit, arose and with • e utmost “sang froid” exclaimed, “because * file stove burns me!” jfljjr -—--— * * To be Hung.—The Holly Springs, Miss., Democrat says that Pleasant M. Mask, who has been confined for the last four years in the jail at that place, for the murder of the young lady, Miss Smith, has received his final sentence, and will suffer flie extreme penalty of the law, on Fri day, the 4th day of March next at Hollj Springs.

The Spurious Gold Coin at New York.—Tiie process by which the spuri ous milled coin is manufactured at New York is quite ingenious. The coin is placed upon a lathe and made to revlove. A keen, narrow chisel is set against the edge; and ns the coin revolves, the shisel turns out the inside of it. and penetrates nearly to the centre, leaving but two thin shells, as it were, connected at the centre. The cavity is then filled up with base metal, the coin is milled over again, and the edge galvanized, showing ns perfect a specimen of work in fraud as was ever con ceived or executed. It can only he delec ted by weighing. The mutilated coin Weighs some nine teen grains less than good coin, and it-ts estimated that each five dollar piece so nutilated is decreased in value to $3 75.

They had been hired out, they had, by declaring themselves free, corrupted the negroes with whom they were associa ted. Mr. Cherry coincided with Mr. Ashe, The evil referred to had been very severely felt in his county. He had little faith in any man who would work slaves all his life, and get nil the benefit from them he could, and then liberate them at his death. Other Senators spoke on the bill, and some diference of opinion existing in regard to details, but all feeling and acknowledging the evil effects of the course against which the bill is intended to guard. _-jjj?
