From the Indianapolis Journal. Look out for tl»o Comet. MR. EDITOR.—-A VERY large and brilliant

Comet may now be seen in the north-east-1

Let all lovers of the marvelous examine this mysterious visitor. Yours, respectfully, OBSERVER.

Sept. 13th, 1858. COMET OF 1858. Tliis remarkable comet says the Albany Argus is now visible to the naked eye, as predicted by Dr. Gould some weeks ago. It is now only one hundred and forty millions of miles distant, and is very rapidly approaching the earth, and already shows through a common opera glass a well defined tail. Wo aie told that dtuing the first week in October the comet will bo of the most striking brightness, possibly the largest of the century, and at that timo will be seen near Arcturus, perhaps even surpassing that brilliant star in splendor. It is now visible fcr about an hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise in a lino with the two stars called tiie Pointers, forming nearly a right angle between the.se and Arcturcs. It is best seen now at 4 o'clock inthe morning.

Dr. Gould also suggested in the last number of his Journal that from the siini'larity of the elements it was possible that this comet was identical with the first comet of 1827, anil also that of 17G4. '1 his fact seems now, from the recent observations, almost eeitain, affording a reasonable presumption that it is a periodic comet, whose period is about thirty-one yeais:

TIIE SLAVE SHIP AT CHARLESTON. The Charleston Mercury, of Monday of last week furnishes us with the following interesting particulars regarding the slaver recently captured by Capt. Mattit:

THE 15R1G.

General Putnam. The letters are partial lv erased, and covered over by those of the assumed name Echo, and would not doubtless have been discovered, had success crowned tho enterprise in which she was engaged when taken. She is of Balton ore build, say 280 tons burden, and it is believed was formerly a packet in tho coffee trade between that poit and Rio. On tho 6t'u of March last she cleared from New Orleans, with a captain, hyo mates, eight seamen, a cook, steward, and one passenger.

HER CARGO OF SLAVES.

On the 6th of July she shipped a laid of 455 slaves on tho west coast of Africa at Ivabenda, situated in latitude 5 30 south, longitude 12 20 east. It is in lower Guinea, in the southern part of the district of Loan go, and not far from tho river Congo or

by Mr. II. P. J. little ono^ a degiec »cji-cuit of 500 miles & assembled at a bai racoon near the point of shipment. Ihe brig set sail with them, and in forty-sev-en days made the trip, reaching the point of destination on the 21st inst. In this space of time one bundled and forty-one negroes had died, leaving but three hundred and fourteen alive. A bay on "Key

Yerd," one of the keys on the north coast of Cuba, latitude 23 30, longitude 30 20, was the landing place, where the Echo was detected by the Dolphin.

THE CAPTURE.

The ofiuers of the

11'

bor of Sagua la rande the day before and

while cruising westward in search of slavers, perceived the Echo at daylight in ttivj distance, bearing the British flag, and run-

ning down the coast ahead of the Dolphin, in the same direction. No suspicion was excited. The brig entered a bay. The Dolphin run on her course, and in good time cavne in view of tho bay and the Echo. The captain of the slaver now lost his presence of mind, supposing lie was suspected and pursued, and suddenly hauled from the co"hst. It was then observed that a number of launches near shore had their sails set to come out to the brig.— This verified the suspicion excited by her strange movement, and the Dolphin gave chasn to the flying vessel, still bearing the British flag. Blank cartridges were fired, and it became evident that the pursuer gained. The slaver spread all her canvass in vain, and finding herself about to fall into the clutches of the cruiser, thought to be British, hauled down that flag and run up tho stars and stripes.

The Dolphin followed suit displaying her tiue colors, and brought her to with a few shotted guns fired after her.. She waa boarded by Lieut. Bradford and 16 men, and surrendered at discretion. No papers were found, but a signal of a black cross on a white ground which had probably just been used to notify the party on shore, by a previous agreement.

THE SLAVER CREW.

all passengers, without captain or officers. But Lieut. Ma flit selected the prisoner who appeared to be at tho head of the enterprise, and took him aboard the Dolphin, with a sick seaman and comrade to tend him. The rest were brought here by Lieut. Bradford. It. seems that the captain and those two men were not sent to Charleston on board the Catawba from Key West, as was expected, but are now on their way to Boston in the Dolphin. The names of 18, excepting the captain, are as follows:

Dominica de la Pierie, Juan Brevera, Jose Francisco, R. I. Bates, John Basco, Alexander Rodgers, F. Cleary, John E. Cabell, Archibald Scott, G. Plaken, Antonio Almera, Thomas Under, Antonio Somez, J. de Jave Vital de Miranda, A. Milendish, W. H. Seno, Josa Gonzalez Seno.

One i's a Greek, one an Italian, somo of them.are Portuguese, some Spaniards, and some English. Some of them talk about New York, but none now admit that they are Americans, orhave a whereabouts in tlr's country. These smugglers are a desperate looking set of fellows.

TO RE TRIED FOR TIRACY.

Under the las of 1819 and 1820 thqy will be tried for their lives as pirates sailino- on an American bottom under the American flag. They were committed to jail on Saturday afternoon. Their trials will take place at Columbia, S. C., before his Honor Judge Wayne, James Connep, Attorney, prosecuting officer. T^e cpur-t begins to bit tho fourth Monday in November.

A VISIT TO THE SLAVER.

Being curious to see the cargo and arrangement of the Echo, we olitaineu a permit from Dr. V. C. Ravenol, the Port Physician, and with one or two others accompanied Lieut. Bradford in a small boat from the wharf. Upon clambering up the side of the brig a startling sight presented itself a deck covered with native Africans in a state of complete nudity with rare instances of a narrow strip of rag an inch wide round the waist. These people wero seated for the most part with their legs stretched ont flat or drawn up in front or doubled up some squatted on their feet and hamls. A few were standing about and a few lying down. None were tied or fastened in any way.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE SLAVES.

some younger and some older, .scarcely one, however, over twenty five. Some of them vver#able:bodied, good sized ancl in hefod comtitian but the greater part were half groffn cbihlrcn bnlj', w§*k and worn. Many weie nvuch ^emaciated,- and showed plainly tho effects af .their longhand crow* ded passage in a confined snip. A few were evidently ill and soon to die. All were pure black in color, except the dropsical, whose skins were tawny from disease. Their hair is very short and crisp. Those who were well appeared curious and pleased, some of them ogling and gigling and chattering and others smoking tobacco out of short clay pipes with cane stems, just as our negroes do. Those that were thin and sick looked dull and brutish, but there was nothing wild or ferocious in their aspect. They looked amiable and docile, and readily obeyed the commanos of the person who had charge of them. They are great thieves however, and appropriate whatever they can on every occasion.

HOW THEY LIVE.

There were 246 males and 60 females who were kept seperate on deck anil in the holds. The meu and boys were kept on the forward deck and in the forward hold, •vhich latter is 55 feet long 19 feet wide in

NEGRO CHARACTER.

They sing songs, clapping their hands, and rocking their bodies in time, and these songs have a groat resemblance to some of our negro spiritualists. Several of the negro fellows exorcise authority very mnch after the manner of our drivers, with airs of authority and ridiculous, gesticulation and gi imances. Others were cooking the "big pot" like good fellows, and with old breeches on, too, obtained from the sailors. The captain of the hold understands their l'ngo, and says they are very averse to goin if back to Africa, as the United States

,, n„i. i»,.» L»rt fl„i 1.-.V- law requires. Our coast resembles that

which they came from, and the group of

ney, in our harbor, where they will be guarded by a detachment from the garrison to Fort Moultraie. As they passed the plank to gain the steamer's deck, they presented a strange and affecting sight, many of them being reduced to mere skeletons by the suffering aud deprivations of the voyage. Several were in a dying condition, a few dropsical, and a goodly number apparently in health. They were vested on Saturday by Mayor Macbeth and several Aldermen.

TIIKIR DEPARTURE FOR FORT

CHARLESTON PRISON, Aug. 30, 1858.j .-i

''A small sketch of the brig Echo, or Cfen. Putnam, as published in some of the papers, is very erroneous in regard to the capture and cargo. I shall give yon a true account., as I have been imprisoned as one of the crew. On the morning of August

The crcw, 19 in number, professed to be 21, we made land about three or four miles

to the south & eastward of Sngua la Gi ande, in three and a half fathoms of water, when we kept away to the northward ami eastward. In a short time we made out the town, several vessels laying in the harbor, and one came out under American colors, which we took to bo a molasses lugger, supposing her to be bound for some northern port. When we got by the port sonic one on board made her out to have English colors set, which it was reported in some of the papers, the brig called the Putnam wore.

But I must confess it was a most gallant capture by an American man-of-war to chase an old ten knot brig from sunrise to half past four o'clock in the afternoon, before she could make her heave to. If the brig had been in trim it is my opinion she would have run clear. I understand that the Spanish pilot insisted that ho knew tho brig, and that she had a cargo of negroes cm board. The Dolphin is reported fo not care about boarding the brig.— Why then did she chase all day with a press of canvass and studding sails set?

About four o'clock the Dolphin kept off. Not being able to make out whether she intended to go to Cardenas or give us a gun, we took in all studding sails to try to get to windward and out of the reach of her-guns but on seeing this she hauled on tfee wind and fired a gun for us to heave toShe had fired two guns before. We took hut little notice of them as we thought we were out of gun shot. Her shot fell about forty j'ards ahead on our le6 bow. She had English colors set, which she hauled down and set American. We had the American colors set. As we had no others on board to save us fiom being fiied into, and were about getting ready to heave to, she fired a shot across our quarter.

We hove to immediately. She lowered a boat with three or four .officers, marines and ten men armed, against a crew of unarmed men, twenty-one white persons all told. When on board they immediately ordered every one in tho boat to go on board tho Dolphin. They kept two and a sick man there, as we supposed to find out the particulars. When on board the Dol-

phin, they put those supposed to be the crew, in double irons, and searched every one, as they said, to find papers, but 1 believe they fond nothing to lead to the vessel's nationality.

The vessels kept company all night—in the morning the Capt. of the Dolphin

AND BLOTCHES

Are the result of impure blood. The blood becomes thick and clogged. The skin is not able to cast off the impurities so important to health. How many young men and women we see with their faccs covered with pimples and blotches, who arc endeavoring to remove them by the use of soaps and washes of various kinds. This is very dangerous and should never be practiced by persons desirous of good health. Mothers who have children afflicted with sores and eruptions should never dry them up by external applications, for in this way the}'will drive in the humors and produce ill health for the child during its whole lifetime. There is no mother that likes to see her children aillictcd with feeble health.

MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are prepared expressly for the cure of eruptions of the skin, such as Pimples, Blotches, Sores, &c. 1 hey cleanse the blood of all impurities, producing a beautiful, clear and healthy skin, so much admired by all people of taste and refinement.

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by all dealers in Medicines.
