Swamp and Overflowed Lands.—
We learn from the Washington Star, that
two patents, numbered 7 and 8, for lands
in the ChnrnpngnoHe district of Arkansas,
were submitted, on the 7th inst., to the
President for signature, by the Acting
Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Also that patent, numhered 7, for lands
in the Little Rock district, was forwarded
to the Governor of the State ou the Cth
inst.
COL. J. WASHINGTON WILLIAMS.
A few weeks ago, an individual, bear
ing the above euphonious appellation, made
his itibuf in the Citizen office, and com
placently announced himself as a member
of the editorial staff' of the Union and
.‘hntrican, published ut Nashville, Tenn.
lie was a passenger from the steamer Gen.
Pike, and represented himself to us as
a returning delegate from the •• Southern
Convention,” which had recently been in
session at \ icksburg, Miss.; and in dilat
ing upon that subject, he waxed vehement
ly patriotic in his laudation of the proceed
ings ol that body. As an attache of the
pieos, ne was eujoymg me liberality ol
Capt. Jones, in a gratuitous passage up
the pleasant While river. He was a great
admirer of this section of country on his
first visit hereto; he was hugely in love
with the elegant Pike and its popular
commander. Indeed, the exuberance of
his grateful feelings was such for the good
treatment shauui-iowatd him, as to impel
him to furnish to the Citizc.n, for publi
cation, a complimentary encomium on the
capacities ol the vessel und the good quali
ties of its officers. This tribute of praise
purported to have been signed by the pas
sengers generally, among whom the enter
prising Colonel's name shone conspicu
ously. The polite attention of the familiar
•tranger only attained the climax of its
culmination on iiis re-arrival in Memphis.
He there became instrumental in procuring
a present for Capt. Jones, in the shape ol
two silver goblets; but he unfortunately
omitted to pay for the articles, or obliviously
retained in his private pocket the money
which the passengers had intrusted to him
for that purpose. It now seems, from this
and some otter transactions in and around
Memphis, that our plausible and sociable
gentleman has either forgotten or mis
stated his proper and veritable cognomen ;
and the police authorities of that city have
even arrested him, and are ungenerously
seeking to establish an identity between
him and the whilom Dr. Hines, or Hayne,
of somewhat unenviable notoriety. Here
are some additional details of Lins singular
episode in the military doctor’s modern
history, which we extract from the Mem
phis Bulletin, dated on the 11th inst. :
“Da. lliNLs” Committed.—This individ
ual, who has figured rather conspicuously in
our city, during the past few days, under some
half dozen aliases, was arraigned for examine-'
lion before Esquire Horne, yesterday morning,
the charge of vagrancy pending against him
in the ttecoriier’s Court, having been dismissed.
The p'ace selected for the dial was the large I
court-room in Exchange Building, and even I
that was tested to Us utmost capacity, by the ,
crowd of persons anxious to hear the testimo
ny, and get a sight of the redoubtable Doctor. !
The charge preferred against him.in the State i
warrant, was til' procuring of goods under
false pretenses, Torn various parties in this
city; and on the examination, Messrs. Payne
cud Logwood appeared for the defense. About
one-half the witnesses present, for tire prose
cution, were examined, when the trial was ab
ruptlv terminated by I he defendant's counsel
suitin'tting the case, tile evidence, we learn,1
being so conclusive as to his guilt, as to leave
no hope of his discharge; and as he would,1
without doubt, find the procurement of bail a
uiitter of extreme diJiioulty, there was little i
utility in proceeding further in the case, at I
present. the !)0(Morwasaccoruuigiyretn:ii:j

Tub Atlantic Cable—A New ;
Method or Construction Proposed.— I
Dr. J. 11. Alexander, of New York city, \
proposes u new mode of constructing anti '
laying an Atlantic Cable. We give a
synopsis of its principal features. Mr. A.
asserts, that u twisted wire covering will,
render the table so heavy, and stretch so
much, ns to bo almost certain to produce
fractures in the copper conducting wires
and gutta pereha insulation. That the
iron wire covering in a long cable will
become so highly magnetic when a cur
rent of electricity is passing through the
conducting wire, and thus so modify the
force of the current, as to render it scarce- j
ly perceptible, long before :t reaches the
opposite extreme from which it is sent.—
This, he re-asserts to be an uudevia'.ing
electrical la tv, regardless of ail assertions
to the contrary. The cable which be'
proposes as one most liable to succeed, is|
to be composed of a single copper wire
©n«-six?eenifa of an inch m diameter,'
covered with a gutta pereha insulation
about an eighth of an inch thick, and that
wound with cot,on yarn in the manner ol
bonnet wire. Such a cable will have but
little weig.tt, and cast be wound on a
•ingle cylinder. The cotton wrapping is
to prevent friction in paying out, und sus
tain the parts of the cable intact uutil
deposited on its bed.—[Washington States.

PEN AND SCISSORS.
The ‘‘P.ke’s Peak” humbug 1ms been
exploded. The bubble has been pricked,
and ti i“ consequences are seen in the
tvmver“»l misery and destitution that now
sin rounds the lutrdy ndveniuiers who have
been attracted thither by the glare of gold.
From its inception to its explosion, both
as to the extent of the interest excited and
the character of the reaction, it tins beer,
the most stupendous humbug of the age.
A terrible reckoning awaits the perpetra
tors of the huge swindle. Several differ
ent classes of persons have been engaged
in it. First, n set of land-sharks went
out there and laid out towns, and then, by
lying, and witling back false reports to the
east, made some believe that gold, in pay
ing quantities, was found about "Cherry
Creek.” Then these rascals were hacked
up by persons interested in the frontier
towns of Missouri, Kansas, nnd Nebraska.
They raised funds, in these and other
towns, to send, as they did, for hundreds
of miles, to spread their infamous lies,
nnd to publish maps, charts, and pamph
lets, giving glowing accounts of the Kan
sas "Gold Mines,” Strange to say, and
more criminal still, these swindling scoun
drels yet persist in publishing fabricated
reports of this kind, when thousands of
tiio deceived gold-seekers are returning,
almost daily, to declare the falsity of the
wliole business. Such has been the plan
of operation of these pitiful swindlers.
An investigation into this affair, says the
Memphis Appeal, will discover that " the
layers-out of towns at the ‘ Peak,’ the
uuurumg^nuu&u KeejJt'is auu uvuicis m
goods for ‘fitting out,’ the sellers of mules,
of oxen and wagons, the transit agents —
in short, the sharpers, harpies, thieves, and
tricksters, of all kinds,” have been en
gaged in u cruel and heartless conspiracy,
by which they were to be enriched, and
-their dupes and victims condemned to
grievous sufferings, nameless agonies,
cruel privations, and lingering death. The
strange drama is now passing before us,
and is having its fearful denouement, in
sucii misery, destitution, and starvation,
that unless the government extends its
kindly aid to the sufferers, the horrors that
have already marked it, will yet he deep
ened, and blood and violence close the
scene. The authors of so vile a decep
tion deserve the profoundest execration of
the whole nation, and will receive the
retributive justice of heaven.
-Considering the general course of
the Virginia press, in regard to the slave
trade, and more especially the antece
dents of the journal in question, the follow
ing views of the Richmond Whig, are not
a little remarkable:
‘■Sonin gentlemen of nervous organization
sen in tlie importation of Africans tiie instant
dissotuli on of the Union. We are unable to
appreciate the force of this logic. To our
thinking, it will constitute a sovereign and al
most instantaneous panacea for all abolition
troubles. In the first place, it will give a large
ami powerful portion of the northern people a
direct inteicstiu ‘the ins ilution.’ We allude
to the shipping community, who will derive
immense profits from the trade; andjhat, of
course, will insure their good w ishes and ac
tive co-operation in behalf of southern rights.
In the second place, it will give a quietus to
the fugitive slave law; for the abolitionists,
instead of kidnapping negroes, or inveigling
them from their masters, will be compelled to
employ all their forces, throughout the whole
extent of their frontier,to prevent being over
run and colonized by 'the institution. The
South would speedily regain its tost ascenden
cy; for, as a negro is an overmatch for an
irishman, in any fair field, we might forthwith
take up the line of march, re-capture Kansas,
perhaps Indiana, Illinois, and even Ohio, and
colonize all the remaining territories of the
confederacy. We should once more be a
united and harmonious people, and the sounds
of disunion would never giate upon the ear.”
-Everything novv-n-dnys is made
tributary to fashion. As an illustration ol
it, an offensive lit.le animal, whose blunt
Saxon name is seldom mentioned to “ ears
polite,” has been lately found to possess a
native garment of euch engaging texture
is to be in great demand in finishing the
winter toilet of fashionable ladies:
■ What’s in a name? that which we call a lose.
By aiiy other nani: would smell as sweet.”
But does it by any means follow that the
same may be said of the fur of this ani
mal ?
We do not recollect now what precise
rppellation is affixed to this article of coin
nerce, as ultimately christened and worn
>y American ladies; but “it is certain,”
suggests the Cincinnati Gazette, “ that,
hough all the origin 1 fragrance has been
wasted on the desert air,’ or in long
ravels by sea, an unsavory odor could not
but still adhere to the original nomencla
ure.” Hence, it lias been changed.
Hence, many fair oues embrace with de
ight what they otherwise w'ould reject,
with averted olfactories.
During the last season, according to a
inle statistical waif we see "going the
rounds,” an iinmsnse number of these ill
odored quadiupeds, at divers parts of the
lountiy, have been killed tor their furs,
which are bought up for exportation by
lealers, and taken to Europe There they
undergo a transformation into articles of
winter apparel and ornament, “ rich aud
are." Having “severed ivsea change”—
iucit wholesome, improving effects as are
supposed to pass upon spirituous hever
iges and declining invalids, by a like
raiisportalion—they are henceforth in ex
relient condition to be restored lolhtir
tative land, und to be sought with avidity
or the elegant uses aforesaid. Such are
he miracles of a sea voyage, and a French
japtism! We ueed be uo longer sur
rrised at any of the whims and caprices
if fashion, since she has made the hither
o proscrib' d “ skunk ” suhsemeij*. to her
use, aird has lendeied his skunkship s fur
so delicate as to make it a habitue of the
most elegantly furni-hod wardrobe.
-Epitaphs are sometimes very comi
cnl; but such an obituary ns the following
could not have been produced outside of
New England, where wealth and virtue
seem to be synonymous, and next to being
a good Christian, a man must be “fore-!
handed.” We find the article credited to j
the Rutland (Vt.) Courier. The render
will recognize bow beautifully it blends
the idea of death coming “ like a thief in
the night,'' with that of getting together
a decent little “ pile" before he does
cotno:
“ He was a nativo of Lowell, Mass., an uu- j
married man, and had, by bis own industry,]
accumulated a property of some fifteen thou- j
sand dollars. We should think his age was a '
little less than forty years. Let this case en
courage mechanics to industiy, economy, and
perseverance, and at the same time remind us
all that ‘ there is an appointed time for man to
die.’ and that death rorneth ' like a thief in the
night,’ when least expected.”
From the True Democrat.]
The Execution of Cosgrove.
On Friday, the 10th inot., nt a few
minutes aftei 12 o’clock, Charles Cosgrove
suffered death hy hanging, for the murder
of young Lester, of which crime he had
been found guilty at a late term of tire
Pulaski circuit court. Several thousand
persons were present, and though his con-j
fession of the committal of the crime was
not made public until after the execution,!
there was not a soul present who doubted
his guilt. He confessed to the sheriff and
jailor while in jail, and shortly afterward,
while on his way to the gallows, to the
persons m the carnage with him, that tie
committed the murder for which he was
shout to die and that he had no accomplice.
As to other confessions that l.e had been
guilty of a series of crimes iu past years,
we have failed to trace them to any reliable
source, lie appeared penitent and wept
from the time be was taken from the jail
to tiie place of execution. Me was attend
ed on the scaffold* by a Roman Catholic
clergyman who gave him the last office of
the church. Rev. D. L. G. McKenzie ol
the Methodist church was also present.
The convict was said to le much prostrated
hut did not appear lo be unable to walk
and promptly obeyed ti e directions of the
sheriff as to where be should stand on the
platform.
The death warrant being read, Cosgrove
handed a note to the sheriff, which was
read and is as follows:
1 present myself here this moment on lire
verge of Eternity, less to satisfy the law, than
to offer my body as a sacrifice in atonement to
Almighty God, for lira sins of ary whole life ;
and for any oii'ences 1 may be giiity of, don’t
impute it to the Catholic Church. 1 forgive
my enemies, and ask pardon of all. 1 hope
that God will have ineicy on my soul.
(Signed) CliAs. COSGROVE.
The prisoner had promised his spiritual
adviser to confess his guilt, and did so, but
privately, as above stated. Instead of pub
licly acknowledging it on the scaffold he
handed the above paper to be read.
The arrangements of the sheriff were
very well taken, and when the drop fell,
Co-grove convulsively shrugged bis shoul
ders once or twice, and moved bis legs. I
The body hung for about twenty minutes,!
when the physicians pronounced him dead.
Another Importation of Native
Africans.—The Richmond (Texas) Re
porter, o( l\vi 14th iust., contains the fol
lowing advertisement:
Eon Sale.—Four hundred likely African
negroes, lately landed upon the coast of Texas.
Said negroes will he sold upon tile most rea
sonable terms. One third down, llie remain
der in one and two years, with eight per cent,
interest.
For further information inquire of C. K. C.,
Houston, or L. K. G., Galveston.
Although the movement in favor of re
opening the the slave trade is meeting
with strong opposition, yet, there is a large
number in favor of it, and as fast as the
masses are led to give it their attention
they wheel into line in its favor. A co
temporary says; “Whether the laws are
repealed or uot, it appears from the above
extract that the trade is being carried on.
The southerneis cannot be blamed for this,
because they do so in self defense. The
abolitionists steal the slaves from the south
ern people and refuse to give them up, so
the south goes lo Africa to fill the vacancy.
While the uonh steals, the south should ,
have the poor privilege of buying negroes
from Africa to make up lor their loss.”
The Vicksburg Sun <$' Southron has the
fnllmvinir at the head nf its edilnrinl
column. Read it, for it is every word
true:
Keep it Before the People.
Keep it before the people, that the anti
slaveryites are opposed placing the price of
slaves within the reach of poor men, it would
tend to reduce the price of the rich man’s
negroes.
ICccp it before the people, that the anti
slavervites are opposed to the introduction of
Africans, because it would appreciate the
price of Land, when it is well known that
four-fifths of the land in the South is owned .
by small planters.
Keep it before the people that the revival
of the slave trade will enable every gentleman i
who marries to purchase a servant to wait on
his wife.
Keep it before the people that by the revival
of the African slave trade, all industrious
young men will be able io purchase a servant:
to keep their sisters and mothers from the
wash tub and kitclten.
Keep it before the people that the mechanic I
is as much entitled to the ownership of slaves
as rich men. and that by the revival of the
slave trade, the price of uegioes will be re-:
duced to their intrinsic value, and tradesmen
and mechanics by saving a little of their hard
earned wages evcry week, will soon be enabled
to purchase a slave to keep their wives and
daughters from the heavy toil and drudgery
of house work.

ANOTHER FIRE IN MEMPHIS.
Heavy Logs—Cheat Destruction
oi' Property. — Wr have to record are
oilier destructive conflagration in our ciiy,
which occurred on yesterday morning ilie
14th inst., shortly alter 3 o’clock. The
fire caught in the livery stable of S. R.
Richards & Co., on Adams street, about
midway between Main and Second streets
which was consumed man almost incredi
bly shoit space of time, together with their
large stock of carriages, buggies, harness,
provender, etc, nnd some seventeen or
eighteen valuable horses belonging to the
proprietors of the stable and their patrons.
The flames soon spread to the large brick
building adjoining the sable on the east,
occupied by Hugh Dunbar as a biiliard sa
loon. by Eldridgu Tufts as a restaurant and
by C. C. Maydwell & Bro.’s marble works,
which was quickly consumed. The build
ing of Messrs. Del p £t Co., occupied by
them as a slave marl, which adjoined the
Livery Stable on the west, caught fire and
was considerably damaged. The beauti
ful new Engine House belonging to the
Hook and Ladder Company nnd Liberty
Fire Company, caught fire and sustained
damage to the amount of $500. The fire
department was out in full force soon alter
the breaking out of the flames, but, owing
lo the scarcity ol water—the cisterns in the
vicinity not having been filled since the
burning of the Stevenson block, on Main
street—they were unable to arrest the
flames until after they had done the dam
age above mentioned.
The loss by ibis fire is estimated at $45,
600, distributed as follows: C. C. Mayd
well St Bro., who owned the building oc
cupied by themselves and the Bon Ton
billiard saloon and restaurant, $18,000 ;
Hugh Dunbar, proprietor of lire billiard
saloon, $800 ; E. Tufts, proprietor of the
Don ion reauiuiam, cuuu ; me uuukuiiu
Ladder Company and No. 3 Engine
Company, $500; Dulap &. Co., damage
to building,$3. 600. None of the losses
were covered by insurance, with the ex
ception of $4,00 held by Hugh Dunbar,
and $400 held by E. Tufts.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
the general impression is that it was the
work of one of the vile incendiaries with
which our city is infested. Our people are
now fully aroused on the subject of in
cendiarism, and the first miscreant that is
caught in the act of firing a building will
certainly be dealt with in the most sum
mary manner.— [Memphis Avalanche.

Alliance ok England and the
United States.—The New York Her
ald. of the 16th, publishes, in full, the re
markable speech of Mr. Disraeli,address
ed to the electors of Buckinghamshire
from the hustings on the day of his elec
tion. That speech is highly interesting
for many reasons. It is more particularly
of interest to us, because, as the Herald
remarks, it foreshadows a future alliance
of England with the United States as the
great sheet anchor of her hope amidst the
storm of war which may wreck the nations
of Europe. Coming, too, from a disting
uished representative of the high tory
parly which, in ti.e reign of.George HI.,
twice waged war against the communities
of the New Woild, the announcement o(
this political programme ol Great Britain
is the more significant. It indicates that
she has now no friends in Europe on
which she can depend, and fearing some
future combination against her of an over
whelming nature, she is anxious to con
ciliate our good will beforehand, aud to
trust kindled aud a common language
and religion for a firm and abiding friend
