Pursuant to provious arrangement, Captain Don Pkdko Gibeut, and Juan Montenegro, Manuel Castillo, Angel Garcia, and Manuel Boyga, were yesterday morning summoned to prepare for their immediato execution, ngreea. M m thfiir sentence, for having, while belong. ins to the schooner Panda, committed piracy, hv rohbinri the brig Mexican of Salem of $20,000, and afterwards attempting to destroy the crew, and all evidence of their crime, by sotting fire to the vessel. It is understood, that, when the prisoners became thoroughly convinc. cd that thero was no longer any grounds to hope for a further respite, they entered into a mutual agreement to commit suicide on Wednesday night. Angel Garcia made the first attempt, in the evening, by trying to open the veins in each arm, with a fragment of a bottle, but was dis. covered before he could effect his purpose, and a stricter guard was afterwards maintained up. on all of them during the remainder of the night, and every thing removed with which they might be supposed to renew any attempt upon their own lives. Yesterday morning, howcv.er, about 0 o'clock, while the avenues of the jail resound. a ,;!, thn hp.avv stens of a host of acting mar- shals, and the "busy note of preparation struck solemnly upon the ears of the spectators within reach ot its echo, Boyga succeeded in inflicting a deep gash on the left side of his neck, with a piece of tin. The officer's eye had been with, drawn from him scarcely a minute, before he was discovered lying on his pallet with a pecu-liar trembling of his knees, which induced the officers to examine if any thing had suddenly happened to him. They found him covered with blood, and nearly insensible; medical aid was at hand, and the wound was immediately sewed up, but Boyga, who had fainted from loss of blood, never revived again. Two Catholic nlorn-vmp.n. the Kev. Mr. Varella, a. Spanish gentleman, and pastor of the Spanish congrega-1 tion at New York, and the Rev. Mr. Curtin of this city, were in close attendance upon tne pris. oners during the whole morning; and at a quar-for nnt inn. under tho escort of the Marshal and his deputies, accompanied them to the gallows, erected on an insulated angle of land in tho rear nf tltn inil. When the procession arrived at the foot of tho ladder, leading up to tho plntform of the gallows, the Rev. Mr. Varella looking directly at Cap. tain Gibert, said, "Spaniards, ascend to heaven." Gibert mounted with a quick step, and was fol. tnwtvl hv his comrades at a more moderate pace, but without the least perceptible indication of hesitancy. Boyga, unconscious oi nis situation and destiny, was carried up in a chair, and seat, ed beneath the rope prepared for him. Gibert, Montenegro, Garcia, and Castillo all smiled sub-duedly as they took their appointed stutions on the platform. Judging only from Gibert's air, carriage, and unembarrassed eye, as he glanced at the surrounding multitude, nnd surveyed the mechanism of his shameful death, he might have well beon mistaken for an officer in attendance, instead of ono of the doomed. With the excep. tion of repeating his prayers after the clergy, man, he spoke but little. Soon after he ascer. fninorl his nosition on the stage, he left it, and, passing over to the spot where the apparently lifeless Boyga was soated on the chair, he bent over his shoulder and Kisseu mm very uueuuun hihIv. Hn then resumed his station, but occa sionally turned round to Mr. Peyton the inter- pretor, and the clergymen, nuureasuifj iimu.. lowers, he said, "Boys, are going to die; but let us bo firm, for wo are innocent." To Mr. Peyton, removing his linen collar, and handing it to him, he said, "This is all I have to part with take it as a keepsake. I die innocent, but I'll die like a noblo Spaniard. Good byo, brother, we die in tho hope of meeting you in heaven." Montenegro and Garcia, though ex. hibiting no terror, vociferated their innocence, exclaiming "Amoricans, we are not culptble we are innocent but we forgive all who have injured us." Castillo addressed himself to an individual, whom he recognized in tho front rank of the officers below the stage, and said "Adieu, my friend; I shall see you in heaven; I do not care so much about dying, as to have the Amoricans think I am guilty," (culpable.) All of them expressed great satisfaction at the intel. ligence of I)e Soto's reprieve.' The Marshal having read tho warrant for their execution, and stated that Do Soto was respited for 60 days, and Ruiz for 30, tho ropes were adjusted round the necks of the prisoners, and a slight hoclic flush spread over tho countenanco of each; but not an eye quailed, nor n limb trembled, nor a muscle quivered. As tho cap was . ... , :i . tl.o Snnn. holding up a piece of blanket, stained with Boy-ga's blood, he gave utterance to his ravings in a sort of recitativo, the burden of which was " This is the red flag which my companions died under." The crowd assembled on this occasion, is estimated ut from 20,000 to 30,000, and occupied every point that aHorded tho least opportunity for witnessing the execution. Tho roofs of a couple of sheds contiguous to the jail yard, gave way beneath tho pressure of tho numbers who had seated themselves on them, and there were two or three avalanches of men and boys, some of whom were considerably injured. The sensation created by their fall was tho only appearance of disorder manifested by the multitude during the whole scene. One of the proprietors has preferred a verbal claim aguinst the U. S. Marshal, for damages done by the crowd to his shantce !!! Some hundred or two, forgetful of tho ap-proach of the rising tide, posted themselves, quite early, on the foundation of a branch of the Lowell Railroad, and unable to retreat, as the crowd onshore increased in density, they were compelled to retain their position, till the flowing tide came up even abovo their knees. About a dozen were hemmed in a corner up to their mid-die in mud and water, but no worse accident happened to them. Nothing could exceed the regularity of the proceedings within the area, on which thecxe-cution took place, under the direction of Marsliul Sibley. The calm and unassuming deportment of tho Catholic clergymen was very generally acknowledged by all present, and mot the entiro approbation ot tho Marshal and his deputies, with whom they necessarily hud much inter course. The Spanish Consul having requested that the bodies might not be given to tho Faculty, they wore interred last night, under the personal di rection of Marshal Sibley, in the Catholic burial ground at Churlcstown. Thero being no murder committed with the piracy, tho laws of tho U. States do not author. ize tho Court to order tho bodies to bo given to the surgeons for dissection. We have heard from a first authority, which may be implicitly relied on, and who had it di-rect from Perez, that when Garcia was ordered on board of tho Mexican, he asked do Soto "if the crew were to be despatched." Do Soto re-plied, "No do not touch a hair of their heads for human life is sweet." To this Garcia simply answered "Dead cats don't mew." Perez also said that Montenegro rehWGu to go on board the Mexican till Captain Gibert threatened to shoot him. From the Tjcnton (N. J.) Emporium. DON'T QUARREL. One of the easiest, the mot common, and the most perfectly foolish things in the world is to quarrel; no matter with whom, man, woman, or child; or upon what pretence, provocation, or occasion, soever. 1 here is no kind ol neces sity for it, no matter of use in it, and no species or degree of benefit to be gained by it. And yet, strange as the fact may be, theologians quarrel, and politicians quarrel, lawyers, doctors und printers quarrel, the church quarrels, and the state quarrels, nations, and tribes, and corpora. tions, men, women, und children, dogs and cats, birds and beasts, quarrel, about all manner of things and on all manner of occasions. Now that n greut deal of mischief comes of this, every body sees and fuels and admits, but what good? Muny things, evil in themselves, have their redeeming results and produce at least their kernel of wheat to the bushel of chaff, but if any body ever discovered a good thing come out of a quarrel, if he'll give us its length, breadth, quality, and description, we'll insure him a patent for it, and tho credit (o boot, of having seen further into a millstone, than any chap that ever looked into day-light east of the Hudson. I have never heard of it, nor heard of the name of him whoever did hear of it, and confess it to bo tho most inconceivable of all things. Some things look very well in theory which do not answer at all in practice; and il is pos sible for a man to reason himself into the belief that a particular system is right, which, when reduced to practice, will turn out entirely wrong, But neither the theory nor tho practice of quar rclinc is good. As for the theory molasses catches flies, they won't comonenr vinegar: if peoplo will not listen to reason, they will very seldom hearken patiently to abuse: you may loud, but you cun't drive men, either into the right or tho wrong way. It you succeed by an irresistible orgu ment in convincing a man, and you find out thut "Convinced against his will "lie's of the same opinion till,"' there is no principle over yet discovered in hu man nature, upon which you can reach his will victarmis. Men cannot bo made to believe upon compulsion. So you may just as well let go both ends and drop mm, in a good humor, but if you quarrel with him about it you are both wrong, that s all so don t quarrel il you would keep in the right. Ihe reason people quarrel about religion is, because they really have so littlo of it, and the harder they quarrel the more abundantly do they prove it. A man has a right to stand fast by his religious faith a right to insist upon it a right to present it respectfully on all proper occasions, to the consideration of others; but he has no right to quarrel nnd anv man that will quarrel about these things, in my opinion, has not much to quurrel about. Politicians need not to quarrel. Whoever quarrels with a man for his political opinions, is himself denying Ihe first principles of freedom-freedom of thought moral liberty without which there is nothing in politics worth a groat it is therefore wrung upon principle. Vou have on this subject, a right to your own opinions, so have others; you have a right to convince them if you can, they have tho same Exer. cise your rights, but again I say Don'tquar-rel. The truth is, the more quietly and peaceably we all get on, the belter thtj better forourselves, tho better for our neighbors. In nine cases out often, tho wisest policy is, if a man cheats you, to quit dealing with him; if ho is ahusivo, quit Ins company; it ho slanders you, tnkc caro so to live as that nobody will believe him; no matter who he is, or how ho misuses you, the wisest way is, generally, just let him alone. There is nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs wo meet. D. Habits of the Turtle. Tho following is an extract frum a paper called "Tho Turllers;" and is the result uf observations made by Audubon, when on a visit to the Torlugas,"a group of islands lying about SO milos from Key VVest, and the last that seem to defend tho Peniosiila of the I'luridas:" On first n curing (ho shores, anil mostly on fine calm moonlight nights, tho turtle raises her head above the water, being still distant about thirty or forty yards from tho beach, looks a-roiiinl her, aod attentively examinos tho objects on shore. Should alio observe nothing likely to disturb her intended operations, she emits a loud hissing sound, by whichsnch of her in.r.iiy enonues as are unaccustomed to it are startled, and so, are apt to romovo to another pUoe, although unseeou by her. Should site hear any noise, or porcoivo indications of danger, she instantly sinks and.ff"Cs oir to a considerable distance: but should every thing be quiet she advance; slowly towards the beach, crawls over it, her bead raised to the full stretch uf her nock, and, when she has reached a place fitted for tho purpose, she gazes all around in silonoe. Finding 'all well,' she proceeds to form a liolo in the sand, which she ctl'ects by removing it from under her body, with her hind Dappers, scooping it out with so much dexterity that tho sides seldom if ever fall in. Tho sand is raisod alternately with each flapper, as with a large ladle, until it has accumulated behind her, when, supporting herself with her head and forepart on tho ground fronting her body, she, with a spring from each flapper, Bends the sand around her, scattering it to the distance of several foot. This labor I havo seen perfor- med in the short period of nino minutes. Tho eggs are then dropped ono by one, nnd disposed in tegular layers, to tho utinibcr of one hundred and lifty, and sometimes nearly two hundred. Tho whole lime spent in this part of the ope ration may be about twenty minutes. She now scrapes tho loose Baud back over tho eirgs, and so levels and smooths tho surface, that lew persons, on soeing tho spot could iitgino any thing bad been done to it. This accomplished to her mind, sho retreats to tho water with all possible dispatch, leaving tho hatching of the eggs to tho heat of the sand. When a Initio, a loggerhead for example, is in tho act ol dropping lior egg9, she will not move although one should go up to her, or even seat himself on her back; for it seems that at this moment she hmls il necessary to proceed at all events, and is unablo to intermit her labor. The moment it is finished, however, off she starts, nor would it then bo possible lor one, unless he were as strong as Hercules, to turn over, and secure her. To upset a turtle nn the shore, ono is obliged to fall on his knees, ami, placing his shoul- iter before her loro arm, gradually raise her up our stay at Dresden four or fivo such interesting events took place; and certainly, to have a proper idea of the behaviour of tho parties, it is necessary to conceive something diametrically at variance with our received notions on this most delicate subject. Heaven knows bow, during thewhirl of a waltz, the rush of a gallop, or the subtle intricacy of amazur, the enamoured youth contrives to insinuate bis passion, into the car of his not ovcrcommunicative partner; yet somehow during tho dance the overture must ho made since all conversation in tho intervals of locomotion, is stigmatized as flirting; and flirting, ho it known, is unheard of iu Northern Germany before marriage, which perhaps accounts for its rapid progress after. No convenient bay windows, no umbrageous conservatories, no boudoirs, no sofas in far corners, afford self-evident opportunities for tho whispered 'endless misery, unutterable happiness, burning love, and chilling fear,' on the ono band, ami for the usual blush, stammer, and 'Ask mamma, ' on tho other. 'What you do, do quickly,' is a German inamorato's motto ; wo therefore conceive that, as whirls (lie fair object, of his choice to her place in the circle, for a moment's pauso and what a cockney would call a month-till of fresh air,' at the very instant locomotion ceases, at that instant bis 'first of danger and distress,' 'with eyes unclosed and lips apart, lungs in full play and 'the big round drops coursing one another down his innocent nose,' be pours into the apathetic l'Vaulein's ear, 'in loose numbers wildly sweet,' tho pent-up aspirations of many a tour de raise; and sighing a little from lovo, nnd a great deal from want of breath, resigns himself, the title of Graf, and tho two halves of two noble ruins, to the fiat of his rosy-checked placid-looking partner. "That tho lady should dissent, or, as it is termed, give tho gentlomau a kerb (Anglice, a basket,) is happily there, as here, a very rare occurrence; accordingly, the ayes have it, and from that day till the ceremony is performed. tho happy pair are styled braut and brauligrm titles ol which, whatever may ije I lie opinion oi merit.

COL. JOHNSON VICE PKESIDENCY. With regard to the death of Tecumsch, which doubtless took place in this action, wo can as sert without fear of contradiction, that hit body never was discovered, lliat Ike place where, he fell is not known, and that Col. Johnson and bis officers generally, camo to tho conclusion that immediately on his fall his remains tvero borne from tho field by his tribe and secreted. We served for a number of years with several ol the ollicers who were engaged in the battle ol tho Thames, nnd havo frequently discussed the subject of Te.cumseh's death with them anil others; and we never yet met with a solitary individual who believed Hint Johnson killed him. or even knew iclicrc, or at what period of the action Ttcumseh fell. This wo assert, was the deliberate and frequently expressed conviction of Johnson himself for eight years after the action, and wo have reason to helievo that he has never met with any circumstances calculated to chango it. Tho only ground on which a claim was put forward was in behalf of his regiment, much less of himself, was tho concur rent testimony of those in front at the time of t lie charge upon tho party of Indians, thai a conspicuous chief was in the centre who fell at tho first volley, in which it is said Johnson fir- for instance, a friend of ours, a modest Scotch-, man, was dancing with a young t.ennan noiinl-css, who had recently been betrothed; and while pondering how to allude delicately but distinctly to tho lady's brijLi prospects, and hesitating, in all the natural perplexity of an iiiilillcrent lin- ;:;ist, between agendo insinuation in had (ier-man,or a hint thai ho hoped might he intelligible in worse Frouch, ws suddenly accosted by the lady in very good English, 'Well, Herr, you have not yet said a word about my husband,' meaning of course, her intended.

We know an individual of Johnson's liegimcnt who boasted th.at he had taken away a strip of Tecumsih's skin, from which ho had manufactured a Razor Strap! As this killing of Tecumsch appears to bo the principal recommendation of Col. Johnson fur tho Vice Presidency, we call add, as additional evidence, thai il is not known by whoso hand he fell, or in tacl that he fell at all in that action, bis remarks, he says "Hud Mr. Webster ever' shown himself capable of changing or truck, ling, ever before bowed tho head or bent the knee, had ha ever spoken a word the less or tho softer, lowered his voice or quulifiod a sentence to pleuse those in power; if when young and un. known lie hud courted tho great, or trimmed to suit the times, there might have been some colon' of nn excuse for this attack of the Telegraph. Hut that at this period of a life faithfully spent! in Inhoriug for his country, after having foughtj so long for tho good cause, through adversity, und prosperity, midst foes outnumbering his friends, without flinching at tho hardest onset, or yielding to the most tempting allurements, ever first ut the fray and never nt the feast;; while all his honors won during a long servico are yet fresh nnd bright, not a leaf faded in his chupli.-t, and just when he is elevated to be the representative of tho cause of which he has been so long the defender, that now he should falter anil desert!

But it is understood thut tho Governor found, on arriving ut Detroit, that ho was quite too lute to save his popularity, us the people of Ohio uniformly identify him as the author of their boundary difficulties. Finding himself looed in tho mutter of populaiity, the Governor very promptly turned his attention to saving what was still more dear to him his Detroit property, und ns he well knew that a reac-tion would soon take place, he immediately com menced selling Ins real estate in that city. In this Governor Cuss ucted very wisely; for he no doubt conceived it better to secure a positive h reasonable in its amount, than to risk any longer, splendid anticipations based upon the delusive hope of further building up Detroit, by endeavoring to break down Toledo. en in tho saino carriaeo, both silting on ihe same . so late as 18J1, nt Detroit, General Cass, the side, bo left alone during the day, and lie very present Secretary of War, who was in tho ac- much stared at in tho evening; at halls Ihey must lion, maiio inquiries in our presence oi the dance certain dances together: where, also, it is not unusual for llioni to have to listen during supper to a copy of verses, from sumo poetical friend, who, amid a flourish of trumpets and a joyous clinking of glasses, pruolaiins his triumphant conviction that a plonteiious supply of olive branches will, in duo time, bless the household of his excellent friend Von Uunck.

Pursuant to provious arrangement, Captain Don Pkdko Gibeut, and Juan Montenegro, Manuel Castillo, Angel Garcia, and Manuel Boyga, were yesterday morning summoned to prepare for their immediato execution, ngreea. M m thfiir sentence, for having, while belong. ins to the schooner Panda, committed piracy, hv rohbinri the brig Mexican of Salem of $20,000, and afterwards attempting to destroy the crew, and all evidence of their crime, by sotting fire to the vessel. It is understood, that, when the prisoners became thoroughly convinc. cd that thero was no longer any grounds to hope for a further respite, they entered into a mutual agreement to commit suicide on Wednesday night. Angel Garcia made the first attempt, in the evening, by trying to open the veins in each arm, with a fragment of a bottle, but was dis. covered before he could effect his purpose, and a stricter guard was afterwards maintained up. on all of them during the remainder of the night, and every thing removed with which they might be supposed to renew any attempt upon their own lives. Yesterday morning, howcv.er, about 0 o'clock, while the avenues of the jail resound. a ,;!, thn hp.avv stens of a host of acting mar- shals, and the "busy note of preparation struck solemnly upon the ears of the spectators within reach ot its echo, Boyga succeeded in inflicting a deep gash on the left side of his neck, with a piece of tin. The officer's eye had been with, drawn from him scarcely a minute, before he was discovered lying on his pallet with a pecu-liar trembling of his knees, which induced the officers to examine if any thing had suddenly happened to him. They found him covered with blood, and nearly insensible; medical aid was at hand, and the wound was immediately sewed up, but Boyga, who had fainted from loss of blood, never revived again. Two Catholic nlorn-vmp.n. the Kev. Mr. Varella, a. Spanish gentleman, and pastor of the Spanish congrega-1 tion at New York, and the Rev. Mr. Curtin of this city, were in close attendance upon tne pris. oners during the whole morning; and at a quar-for nnt inn. under tho escort of the Marshal and his deputies, accompanied them to the gallows, erected on an insulated angle of land in tho rear nf tltn inil. When the procession arrived at the foot of tho ladder, leading up to tho plntform of the gallows, the Rev. Mr. Varella looking directly at Cap. tain Gibert, said, "Spaniards, ascend to heaven." Gibert mounted with a quick step, and was fol. tnwtvl hv his comrades at a more moderate pace, but without the least perceptible indication of hesitancy. Boyga, unconscious oi nis situation and destiny, was carried up in a chair, and seat, ed beneath the rope prepared for him. Gibert, Montenegro, Garcia, and Castillo all smiled sub-duedly as they took their appointed stutions on the platform. Judging only from Gibert's air, carriage, and unembarrassed eye, as he glanced at the surrounding multitude, nnd surveyed the mechanism of his shameful death, he might have well beon mistaken for an officer in attendance, instead of ono of the doomed. With the excep. tion of repeating his prayers after the clergy, man, he spoke but little. Soon after he ascer. fninorl his nosition on the stage, he left it, and, passing over to the spot where the apparently lifeless Boyga was soated on the chair, he bent over his shoulder and Kisseu mm very uueuuun hihIv. Hn then resumed his station, but occa sionally turned round to Mr. Peyton the inter- pretor, and the clergymen, nuureasuifj iimu.. lowers, he said, "Boys, are going to die; but let us bo firm, for wo are innocent." To Mr. Peyton, removing his linen collar, and handing it to him, he said, "This is all I have to part with take it as a keepsake. I die innocent, but I'll die like a noblo Spaniard. Good byo, brother, we die in tho hope of meeting you in heaven." Montenegro and Garcia, though ex. hibiting no terror, vociferated their innocence, exclaiming "Amoricans, we are not culptble we are innocent but we forgive all who have injured us." Castillo addressed himself to an individual, whom he recognized in tho front rank of the officers below the stage, and said "Adieu, my friend; I shall see you in heaven; I do not care so much about dying, as to have the Amoricans think I am guilty," (culpable.) All of them expressed great satisfaction at the intel. ligence of I)e Soto's reprieve.' The Marshal having read tho warrant for their execution, and stated that Do Soto was respited for 60 days, and Ruiz for 30, tho ropes were adjusted round the necks of the prisoners, and a slight hoclic flush spread over tho countenanco of each; but not an eye quailed, nor n limb trembled, nor a muscle quivered. As tho cap was . ... , :i . tl.o Snnn. holding up a piece of blanket, stained with Boy-ga's blood, he gave utterance to his ravings in a sort of recitativo, the burden of which was " This is the red flag which my companions died under." The crowd assembled on this occasion, is estimated ut from 20,000 to 30,000, and occupied every point that aHorded tho least opportunity for witnessing the execution. Tho roofs of a couple of sheds contiguous to the jail yard, gave way beneath tho pressure of tho numbers who had seated themselves on them, and there were two or three avalanches of men and boys, some of whom were considerably injured. The sensation created by their fall was tho only appearance of disorder manifested by the multitude during the whole scene. One of the proprietors has preferred a verbal claim aguinst the U. S. Marshal, for damages done by the crowd to his shantce !!! Some hundred or two, forgetful of tho ap-proach of the rising tide, posted themselves, quite early, on the foundation of a branch of the Lowell Railroad, and unable to retreat, as the crowd onshore increased in density, they were compelled to retain their position, till the flowing tide came up even abovo their knees. About a dozen were hemmed in a corner up to their mid-die in mud and water, but no worse accident happened to them. Nothing could exceed the regularity of the proceedings within the area, on which thecxe-cution took place, under the direction of Marsliul Sibley. The calm and unassuming deportment of tho Catholic clergymen was very generally acknowledged by all present, and mot the entiro approbation ot tho Marshal and his deputies, with whom they necessarily hud much inter course. The Spanish Consul having requested that the bodies might not be given to tho Faculty, they wore interred last night, under the personal di rection of Marshal Sibley, in the Catholic burial ground at Churlcstown. Thero being no murder committed with the piracy, tho laws of tho U. States do not author. ize tho Court to order tho bodies to bo given to the surgeons for dissection. We have heard from a first authority, which may be implicitly relied on, and who had it di-rect from Perez, that when Garcia was ordered on board of tho Mexican, he asked do Soto "if the crew were to be despatched." Do Soto re-plied, "No do not touch a hair of their heads for human life is sweet." To this Garcia simply answered "Dead cats don't mew." Perez also said that Montenegro rehWGu to go on board the Mexican till Captain Gibert threatened to shoot him. From the Tjcnton (N. J.) Emporium. DON'T QUARREL. One of the easiest, the mot common, and the most perfectly foolish things in the world is to quarrel; no matter with whom, man, woman, or child; or upon what pretence, provocation, or occasion, soever. 1 here is no kind ol neces sity for it, no matter of use in it, and no species or degree of benefit to be gained by it. And yet, strange as the fact may be, theologians quarrel, and politicians quarrel, lawyers, doctors und printers quarrel, the church quarrels, and the state quarrels, nations, and tribes, and corpora. tions, men, women, und children, dogs and cats, birds and beasts, quarrel, about all manner of things and on all manner of occasions. Now that n greut deal of mischief comes of this, every body sees and fuels and admits, but what good? Muny things, evil in themselves, have their redeeming results and produce at least their kernel of wheat to the bushel of chaff, but if any body ever discovered a good thing come out of a quarrel, if he'll give us its length, breadth, quality, and description, we'll insure him a patent for it, and tho credit (o boot, of having seen further into a millstone, than any chap that ever looked into day-light east of the Hudson. I have never heard of it, nor heard of the name of him whoever did hear of it, and confess it to bo tho most inconceivable of all things. Some things look very well in theory which do not answer at all in practice; and il is pos sible for a man to reason himself into the belief that a particular system is right, which, when reduced to practice, will turn out entirely wrong, But neither the theory nor tho practice of quar rclinc is good. As for the theory molasses catches flies, they won't comonenr vinegar: if peoplo will not listen to reason, they will very seldom hearken patiently to abuse: you may loud, but you cun't drive men, either into the right or tho wrong way. It you succeed by an irresistible orgu ment in convincing a man, and you find out thut "Convinced against his will "lie's of the same opinion till,"' there is no principle over yet discovered in hu man nature, upon which you can reach his will victarmis. Men cannot bo made to believe upon compulsion. So you may just as well let go both ends and drop mm, in a good humor, but if you quarrel with him about it you are both wrong, that s all so don t quarrel il you would keep in the right. Ihe reason people quarrel about religion is, because they really have so littlo of it, and the harder they quarrel the more abundantly do they prove it. A man has a right to stand fast by his religious faith a right to insist upon it a right to present it respectfully on all proper occasions, to the consideration of others; but he has no right to quarrel nnd anv man that will quarrel about these things, in my opinion, has not much to quurrel about. Politicians need not to quarrel. Whoever quarrels with a man for his political opinions, is himself denying Ihe first principles of freedom-freedom of thought moral liberty without which there is nothing in politics worth a groat it is therefore wrung upon principle. Vou have on this subject, a right to your own opinions, so have others; you have a right to convince them if you can, they have tho same Exer. cise your rights, but again I say Don'tquar-rel. The truth is, the more quietly and peaceably we all get on, the belter thtj better forourselves, tho better for our neighbors. In nine cases out often, tho wisest policy is, if a man cheats you, to quit dealing with him; if ho is ahusivo, quit Ins company; it ho slanders you, tnkc caro so to live as that nobody will believe him; no matter who he is, or how ho misuses you, the wisest way is, generally, just let him alone. There is nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs wo meet. D. Habits of the Turtle. Tho following is an extract frum a paper called "Tho Turllers;" and is the result uf observations made by Audubon, when on a visit to the Torlugas,"a group of islands lying about SO milos from Key VVest, and the last that seem to defend tho Peniosiila of the I'luridas:" On first n curing (ho shores, anil mostly on fine calm moonlight nights, tho turtle raises her head above the water, being still distant about thirty or forty yards from tho beach, looks a-roiiinl her, aod attentively examinos tho objects on shore. Should alio observe nothing likely to disturb her intended operations, she emits a loud hissing sound, by whichsnch of her in.r.iiy enonues as are unaccustomed to it are startled, and so, are apt to romovo to another pUoe, although unseeou by her. Should site hear any noise, or porcoivo indications of danger, she instantly sinks and.ff"Cs oir to a considerable distance: but should every thing be quiet she advance; slowly towards the beach, crawls over it, her bead raised to the full stretch uf her nock, and, when she has reached a place fitted for tho purpose, she gazes all around in silonoe. Finding 'all well,' she proceeds to form a liolo in the sand, which she ctl'ects by removing it from under her body, with her hind Dappers, scooping it out with so much dexterity that tho sides seldom if ever fall in. Tho sand is raisod alternately with each flapper, as with a large ladle, until it has accumulated behind her, when, supporting herself with her head and forepart on tho ground fronting her body, she, with a spring from each flapper, Bends the sand around her, scattering it to the distance of several foot. This labor I havo seen perfor- med in the short period of nino minutes. Tho eggs are then dropped ono by one, nnd disposed in tegular layers, to tho utinibcr of one hundred and lifty, and sometimes nearly two hundred. Tho whole lime spent in this part of the ope ration may be about twenty minutes. She now scrapes tho loose Baud back over tho eirgs, and so levels and smooths tho surface, that lew persons, on soeing tho spot could iitgino any thing bad been done to it. This accomplished to her mind, sho retreats to tho water with all possible dispatch, leaving tho hatching of the eggs to tho heat of the sand. When a Initio, a loggerhead for example, is in tho act ol dropping lior egg9, she will not move although one should go up to her, or even seat himself on her back; for it seems that at this moment she hmls il necessary to proceed at all events, and is unablo to intermit her labor. The moment it is finished, however, off she starts, nor would it then bo possible lor one, unless he were as strong as Hercules, to turn over, and secure her. To upset a turtle nn the shore, ono is obliged to fall on his knees, ami, placing his shoul- iter before her loro arm, gradually raise her up our stay at Dresden four or fivo such interesting events took place; and certainly, to have a proper idea of the behaviour of tho parties, it is necessary to conceive something diametrically at variance with our received notions on this most delicate subject. Heaven knows bow, during thewhirl of a waltz, the rush of a gallop, or the subtle intricacy of amazur, the enamoured youth contrives to insinuate bis passion, into the car of his not ovcrcommunicative partner; yet somehow during tho dance the overture must ho made since all conversation in tho intervals of locomotion, is stigmatized as flirting; and flirting, ho it known, is unheard of iu Northern Germany before marriage, which perhaps accounts for its rapid progress after. No convenient bay windows, no umbrageous conservatories, no boudoirs, no sofas in far corners, afford self-evident opportunities for tho whispered 'endless misery, unutterable happiness, burning love, and chilling fear,' on the ono band, ami for the usual blush, stammer, and 'Ask mamma, ' on tho other. 'What you do, do quickly,' is a German inamorato's motto ; wo therefore conceive that, as whirls (lie fair object, of his choice to her place in the circle, for a moment's pauso and what a cockney would call a month-till of fresh air,' at the very instant locomotion ceases, at that instant bis 'first of danger and distress,' 'with eyes unclosed and lips apart, lungs in full play and 'the big round drops coursing one another down his innocent nose,' be pours into the apathetic l'Vaulein's ear, 'in loose numbers wildly sweet,' tho pent-up aspirations of many a tour de raise; and sighing a little from lovo, nnd a great deal from want of breath, resigns himself, the title of Graf, and tho two halves of two noble ruins, to the fiat of his rosy-checked placid-looking partner. "That tho lady should dissent, or, as it is termed, give tho gentlomau a kerb (Anglice, a basket,) is happily there, as here, a very rare occurrence; accordingly, the ayes have it, and from that day till the ceremony is performed. tho happy pair are styled braut and brauligrm titles ol which, whatever may ije I lie opinion oi merit. I have repeated the experiments five or six times, and uniformity found the same results; no other substance would produce the saute re suit; 1 am perfectly satisfied that it was arsenic; 1 then washed tho stomach in water, and allowed the substance to precipitate, and then dried it and weighed it and found it to contain 1? grams. I then destroyed tho animal matter, dissolved the arsenic, and' turned tho sulphur into sulphuric acid, ami precipitated Ihe whole by siilphuretlcd hydrogen, and that reproduced sulphiiret of arsenic; from 13 grains of the mixed matter I had 4 grains of sulphiiret of arsenic; there wore still some portions adherent to the stomach, which I could not wash oil"." nilFiatUEO ARTICLES. tho gentleman, tho lady is not a littlo proud, ns ed the pistol. COL. JOHNSON VICE PKESIDENCY. With regard to the death of Tecumsch, which doubtless took place in this action, wo can as sert without fear of contradiction, that hit body never was discovered, lliat Ike place where, he fell is not known, and that Col. Johnson and bis officers generally, camo to tho conclusion that immediately on his fall his remains tvero borne from tho field by his tribe and secreted. We served for a number of years with several ol the ollicers who were engaged in the battle ol tho Thames, nnd havo frequently discussed the subject of Te.cumseh's death with them anil others; and we never yet met with a solitary individual who believed Hint Johnson killed him. or even knew iclicrc, or at what period of the action Ttcumseh fell. This wo assert, was the deliberate and frequently expressed conviction of Johnson himself for eight years after the action, and wo have reason to helievo that he has never met with any circumstances calculated to chango it. Tho only ground on which a claim was put forward was in behalf of his regiment, much less of himself, was tho concur rent testimony of those in front at the time of t lie charge upon tho party of Indians, thai a conspicuous chief was in the centre who fell at tho first volley, in which it is said Johnson fir- for instance, a friend of ours, a modest Scotch-, man, was dancing with a young t.ennan noiinl-css, who had recently been betrothed; and while pondering how to allude delicately but distinctly to tho lady's brijLi prospects, and hesitating, in all the natural perplexity of an iiiilillcrent lin- ;:;ist, between agendo insinuation in had (ier-man,or a hint thai ho hoped might he intelligible in worse Frouch, ws suddenly accosted by the lady in very good English, 'Well, Herr, you have not yet said a word about my husband,' meaning of course, her intended.

As this killing of Tecumsch appears to bo the principal recommendation of Col.

But it is understood thut tho Governor found, on arriving ut Detroit, that ho was quite too lute to save his popularity, us the people of Ohio uniformly identify him as the author of their boundary difficulties. Finding himself looed in tho mutter of populaiity, the Governor very promptly turned his attention to saving what was still more dear to him his Detroit property, und ns he well knew that a reac-tion would soon take place, he immediately com menced selling Ins real estate in that city. In this Governor Cuss ucted very wisely; for he no doubt conceived it better to secure a positive h reasonable in its amount, than to risk any longer, splendid anticipations based upon the delusive hope of further building up Detroit, by endeavoring to break down Toledo. en in tho saino carriaeo, both silting on ihe same . so late as 18J1, nt Detroit, General Cass, the side, bo left alone during the day, and lie very present Secretary of War, who was in tho ac- much stared at in tho evening; at halls Ihey must lion, maiio inquiries in our presence oi the dance certain dances together: where, also, it is not unusual for llioni to have to listen during supper to a copy of verses, from sumo poetical friend, who, amid a flourish of trumpets and a joyous clinking of glasses, pruolaiins his triumphant conviction that a plonteiious supply of olive branches will, in duo time, bless the household of his excellent friend Von Uunck.

Tno effects were so beneficial, that tho profession in the South, where unhappily, the disease has occurred, ought to givo tbo compound u'fair trial if indeed they havo not tn ready done so. Ihe dose was ten grains of tho sugar of lead, and ono of opium, mixed; and repented every two hours, in one case every hour till the diarrhoja ceased: the patients being warm in bed, and ' taking little drink.
