CLAUDE BIVAL OF M SISSIPPI. THE MttA Romantic HistorlcalBeminiscenee. . From the Natchez Courier. A" correspondent of. .the 'JJi-oda County Gazette, over the signature of 44 Old -Citizen,''ives-the folio w ing graphic account .of some "scenes of former Mississippi times, which will be read with interest, both from its Joeal reference and its romantic story. We extract the following from his letter: "Sometime previous and - subsequent 'to 1 the arrest of Aaron Burr there was an organized band of robbers called land pirates, who committed depredations on the river and public highways. The leader or captain , of this band was a manor greatJ shrewdness"and penetration. He had a peculiar latent to lead and govern, and possessed an order of talent worthy of' a better calling. Their headquarters were on the banks of a bayou, west of ; the Tiverv which now beats the name of their captain. There were some settled citizens who had a secret connection with the band. . - At that time Gen. Cowles Mead was Federal Governor pf the Territory, and George-Poindeiter was Federal Judge. They arid other Officers, and some of the" nabobs and aristocracy, resided inrvGreenville, in Jefferson County, formerly- the r, romantic residence of the Spanish alcalde, then a lively, thriving little inland town. At that time there were no steam boat-Western-prc brought down A. Mr; Baker, a citizen of Kentucky, r tr . , vas in .the habit of ascending the river every winter aa supercargo of shipments of produce, and at Natchez he disposed fcf boats and cargo, and returned to Kentucky on horseback. As there were then no banks to sell checks, he had to carry the gold to Kentucky. . On one of his trips he called on the keeper of the hotel at Natchez, where he boarded, for some threadj or other article, to complete a close jacket in which to carry the gold;' and not suspecting the man, be. incautiously aisciosea i o mm nis p;a s. The ,lKtekeere-treated"himve"ry courteously, and - kindly , proffered- to assist him in making the jacket and the only individual .to whom Mr. Baker pade any iUsclosares-1 Things went on very pleasantly in VT i v.

Baker all tie extravagant demonstrations of courtesy and friendship manifested to him by the hotel keeper in Natchez. ::. In his; manners at the creek,' the Captain of the land pirates might Lave been taken for a near kinsman ot Liord:Chesterheid so courteous, mil. w j- -j bo pieasantso ana Die I Uood morning, gentlemen! I hope you are very, well! Very glad to see you, gentlemen! Bide up! ride up, gentlemen! 'Ligbt!"f Mr. Baker and his traveli ing companion rode up: the Captain and his company formed a semi-circle to reeeivf them.j Tha Captain walked' up to Mt Baker and shook hands with himVery cordially, saying, " This is Mr. Baker, I presume, and this (alluding; to himself,) is Captain B. ." i After asking some questions apoui ue state oi ousiness on tne Tiver, the condition of things in . Greenville, Natchez, etc., the Captain said: " We want your money: hand it over, gentlemen ! Mr. Baker and hie-j friend took out what money they had in their pockets and handed it over. The Captain then "said : " Now, Mr. Baker, take off your close jacket and hand it over." This being done, the Captain then said : " Now, put on your clothes, Mr. Baker." While all this was being done, two men held the horse. The Captain then said to Mr. Baker and his companion : " Genthemen, mount your horses," and then wishing them a pltasant trip and a safe "arrival at home, ordered them to pursue their journey. Oa receiving authentic information of this robbery," Governor Mead is sued a proclamation offering a reward of five hundred dollars for the head of Captain , ';.'A.. few ..days after-! wards, a stranger a, savage Jooking,! giant hke, balfjhorfejjalfliga eort of man went into Greenville of a clear, frosty, moxtyjig, and delivered to tne uoveraoi? tne - neaa- "Drj vaptaiu . a mere were many Dersons in tid ,,arouBd jCireepiijfi and could declare nader'oatbfthaC'the head brouehtin bv the heroic stranser was the head of Captain .

' He was caressed and eulogized, and regarded as a Godjgent benefactor; for the Captain had long been a great terror tq the whole country. - On the morning of this.-occurrenee there wa3 another straiger"iQ Green ville, a traveler, who had just come! down from the " .Natehea Trace.

This raised a storm of indignation among the sage blacks.. " Cap-. tin' better get somebody else at de engines," " ought to give her another turn anyhow," &c, &c , But an old ex-mate of . New Albany, of three score and ten-experience,' his eyes twinkling with excitement, says, "-Abr boys, a stern chase is. & Jong chase.

But the pilot boldly turns his boat right across the boiling current, and the two boats run a mile or two on opposite sides, when the Gay strikes across to a point. , When she gets! over thetjyo boats run" neck and neck amid the wildest excitement." r But, alas ! for my lady's jaunty hat and her white plume, and Juno-like air, the Sheridan has lost his gallantry, and only thinks of his bottom.

But the great responsibility in this, as in everything, rests chiefly with lie individuals who suffer themselves ;o be led astray.

' A remarkable affair of love and jealousy has recently culminated at sumeld, Conn., in a mysterious disap pearance. ! lne wire or a well-known cigar manufacturer Vin that town for. a singing master who led the choir in the Congregational Church,' where sne was tne principal ' singer :. ;The two were very intimate, and there was considerable gossip in consequence; though it ia not known that their in timacy reached unlawful limits. : This year. the. chorister w&s .employed by ii k imiii. m. i iiinrnn . nia Tii.nn i.a. uiaiuiux iu uer iurnier position. ;; it was polite and attentive to' the ladie in his new choir, and soon roused an extraordinary 'feeling of jealousy in the .cigar manufacturer's wife." She 'sent him a large number of anonymous letters ia feigned hands, threaf-' ening him with all sorts of things if he did not cease his attention to the Baptist girls. The matter reached a crisis on Friday of last week, when the; chorister fixed upon her the authorship s of the letters, and, in turn, threatened a public exvo&e. and de1 manded satisfaction. On the same afternoon, while her husband was absent, the lady wrote a letter, telling him he would never sea her ' again, and suddenly departed. She was traced nearly half a mile to a swamp, and "on Sunday the whole town, was out in search of .her. Every possible means was used to ascertain, her fate, but ywh oily "without result. 'nor has she been heard from since. The affair, as may be imagined, has created a profound sensation in Suffield. The lady was good looking, accomplished, about thirty years old, and the mother of -one child. Springfield, (Mass.,) Republican; May 15.
