a wo years ago, we were at tnc line town of Columbia, on ibe banks ot the Mississippi at that time a place of some local interest, from the fact of a ruffian being imprisoned there previous to his trial for murdering a poor laboring man. The victim ol ta.n.: ..Ia. u.,a o, .1. una ibiubiuus hi uiuv.1 imu v. n 1 1 1 i a i utcnan a about sunset and begged a lodging for the night, which was granted; but after the man had sought the resting place pointed out .o him. Stewart in a soiril ol brutal snort set Ins , ( . dogs upon him, and urged, them on until the poor fellow, after vaiuly attempting to defend himself from their attacks, was literally torn to pieces and theu Ouug out of doors to die. The circumstances of this horrid murder may still be fresh in the memory of many; but the details of the capture of the murderer have never, we believe, been made public; and as the personages concerned in the arrest, together with the mode in which it was performed, 6flord a fine opportunity for exemplifying some of the peculiarities of Soutli-Westeru character, we shall give the relation as we heard it from the mouth ol one of the actors indeed the principal in the affair. About two weeks after leaving Columbia, we were standing at the door of a small house in Jone'sboro', on the Washita, consisting of five or six log dwellings and a colton shed of the snme primitive architecture. Near were we stood were two Arkansawyers 39 they call themselves in earnest conversation; in the course of which one of them used a phrase which, though common at the South, was at least new to us. it was Ah ! he's a striker. Now although cuiiosity is said to be the peculiar prerogative or woman we inual confess that man has no small share of the same ticklish propensity; at least we fell it on that occasion, and stepping forward said 'My friend, what do you mean by a sin ker?1 ' The man eyed us for a moment, and then replied. . 'Why yon see, stranger but stop a bit, " till I lake a Virgiuny least.' 'A Virginia feast,' thought we 'what is that. We soon knew; for, after diving into the ' recess of his capacious pockets, he drew forth a large piece of chewing tobacco, and after offering it to us with, 'Have a chaw?' he bit off sufficient to poison a horse, and rolling it to the side of his cheek commenced his explanation afresli 'Why you see stranger Moses and Aaron war strikers. George Washingion war a striker General Jackson war a striker; and that man lhar (pointing to an individual at a short distance off) he's a sliiker, and no mistake. - He arm leh his oals for nothing 1 tell ye.' ; The definition puzzled us a little, but we made out enough of it to understand that all persons who perforin deeds of prowess aie strikers. The 'man lhar indicated as a strikei was a short, lean, muscular man, dressed in the white blanket coat, with black stripes round the skirts anil over the sholdets, so common to the south. He bore in ihe bend of his arm a long rifle, ..and at side a greasy leather pouch for bullets, from which also depended a long hunting-knife in iis shoath . After taking this survey, we turned to our new acquaintance and said - , .? 'Wi.at has he doue to have that title given him!' : ;:. 'Done! what Rn' Ball? Didn't he captivate Dick Stewart?' This then was '.ho man who performed that exploit, thought we,' looking at him with still more interest; for trio fame of the deed spread far and wide through these primitive regions; and we inwardly wished we could hear him relate the m inner iu which it was achieved. A few days afterwards we were "gratified. 'You see (said he to a knot of auditors on board a steamboat going to Ecore Fabre) you see, tharvvas a reward offered lo'any I l U t. ... I . 1 thought I moujjht aj well have it as not.' 'But weie youjiot anxious as to ihe result? This Stewart w'as by all accounts a desper ate character; and I heard a man say, if Dick Stewart told him to swirr the Mississip- . pi, he would have to do it!' ' 'I know siranger;but that was the best of it.? I said to myself: Ru1 Bell, you aim had a learin'-down fight for a mighiy( long time, and here'i a smart chance to wake you up. But .I'll git somebody to go- along jest to see fair play like. So I called on Gineral Pluminer, arid ses he As I aiut got nothin' to do jest now, I don't care li 1 jiue - you and then I knocked up Rafe Morgan; and he saved as how, though he had ihe ag'jr tayther tall, he reckoned he could sec the fun 'uvixt the shakins.' So we got our plunder and put it in a dug out, and started for the Bio Bcrlholemee, as I item tell Stewart was iu the swmp up that way. When we got to the swamp, we bruck through the cane, inakin' a bee line for the nigger hut whar I more'n suspected Dick Stewart ,'arthed. Iknow'd all them diggins' well and thir wam't a trail 1 bada'i travelled from the Mississipppi to the Wasliilaw formally a time I'd hunted bar and sich like varmin fiorn Bit Mason right across to the Bio Bertholetnee, campin' out o nights and startin' fresh next morninV 'But were , you uot afraid of the wolves?' . 'Well, I warn't boss! Wolves can't skear me, nor painlers nuther. The bars is wuss nor all tlievannin together they've got a mighty nasty hug, I tell ye.' 'Then you have been scared by ihe hears?" Weil, stranger, f do confess that corn once't a few." But as I was 'sayih', we struck a bee line through tlta ane and bimeby we come in sight of the little log house. Then enjs I to the Gineral: Gineral, ses I, you go one side and Rafe the oiher, and don'i vou two An nothin ' onless Dick tries to make tracks for the swamp. 'Well, we won'i, Ru', ses the Gineral. When I seed 'em stand well off. 1 edges myself to a'hig cotwm:wood iree at good 6hootin' distance--and hollers out :' . 'Hello house !' and bimeby 1 seed t he door open a ieetle jest c leetle and then D.-ck

Stewart but his head round the corner of the door-post. As soon as he seed me, he ses: . " ! 'What the h 11 do you want here, Ru'?'

'I want you, Dick, ses I. -1 on ami come io iatie me ses ne look in as black as thunder.' 'Well I am, hoss, ses I a sort o quiet like, and here's Gineral Plummer and Rafe Morgan come to see fair play.' 'You'd a bl dy sight better clear out while you can, ses he, for I'm not gwine to be taken alive I tell ye.' 'I dar say, ses 1 I 'spected as much, nn) I told the Gineral so; but I'm ihe man what's gwine to lake you Dick. The Gineral and Rafe won't do nothiu,' jest to obleege me, onless you try to streak it.' 'Go way, Ru' I don't want to hurt,' you ses he. 'Look here vou see I'm not onorepared.' . 'That's a fact ses I. You've got two rifles. a double-barreled shot gun, two pistols and a bowie-knife, but it aim no use, hoss you viu&t come.' 'Must come! ses he, grippin' his rifle and gettin' audaciously savage. Must come! Look here, Ru' Bell- 'laint five men can take me, nor ten nuther and you know it; so you'd better be makiu' tracks for the Bio mighty quick, or Til blow my rifle through you.' 1 'That's all c'reet enough D'ck, S' s I, lookin' right into his eye all the time, for I seed he was gettin catawampous. Thai's all c'reect Dick; but I did'ut paddle all the way up the Bio lor nothin,' and it wouldn't look well for me to go home without you. Besides se3 I, what would the Gineral and Rale say? I promised 'em a fight, and it would be onlair to disappoint 'em it would. 'Well, ses he lookin' as sivage as a she bar what has cubs if von icill have it, bluze away then.' 'No, Dick, ses I, I'm made up my mind to captivate you, but it's agin the law lor me to fire afore you've made any resistance--so shoot at once't or else s'lender. ll aim no uselalkin'so much about it, for you must come.' Stranger you should have henrn him rip and cuss, when 1 said that, lie stomp d and he swore, and called me all manner of names ontil he churned himself vp into a frotlt Bat it warm no use he couldn't skear me, nor yit put me in a passion and make me forget what 1 wardoinV I've fit the Ingins too much for lhat. So all at once't he guv a shreek and blazed right away. I seed what war comin,' and so I dodged behind tbe-j cotton-wood tree. 1 war jest in time, for the bullet ploughed along the bark and luck off a splinter ngni ngm my mouth, and the v:nti! . i i or it luck away my breath, so as to make ! -rift oliiTrar i t i.iiq Clila 5 I a a : u I CO comes anoiher bullet and rips my hat right oil" my head. Hooray! ses Stewart; that's tvvice'i I've hit you. Go home now like a gooJ boy you 1 didn't say nothiu', but I drops quieily down behind the tree, and cuilin' my rifle round it blazes away at him, and bit him in ll;e side; and when 1 seed him fall back 1 crawls to ihe other end ol a big gum what laid on the ground a rottenin,' and turns on my back and loads my rifla ngin in doublequick lime; and 1 peeps the tecilest mita through a crook of the li in to see for Stewart. Thar he was in the doorway, with his teeth close clenched and his eyes a flishmg, and lookiu' all about arler me with a, kinder snort. His lace was a leetle pale, and the blood was ooziu' out lit. in Lis aide Well we wailed jest so lor a good while he watchin' for me and I a peepin' Sr a chance at himrJor he Kepi inmseli covered pretty . .' , .

Ciack! went his rifle agin, and 1 felt the bullet sculp rne--but I didu'l care for lhat, but 1 jumpaand fires light into him. I know tl 1 Inl nun, lor lie "tv a queer sort MO - VjJCl,-! rMM, o1 screw to bis mnutii and tell back behind tle door-post agin.' 'Well afier this we wasted a good deal o' time watchin' for one another; but at last 1 cotched his eye a sliiniii" between the logs, and then I thought I would iry a trick on him what I had seen pract ysed on thelnjuna once't afore. So I wabbled along on my belly like a sarpent till 1 leached the cottonwood tree, and then clingin1 with my lelt hand to the Iree I swung myself suddenly round it, and he fired 1 jumped away wiih a shreak.and then fell right kerthump on the 'arth. The moment 1 did so he spiung out all a bleedin', and struck for the canebrak; but Rafe Morgan dashed for'ard, and kelchin' him in his arms flung biin down and thar ihey wrasiled lust one up and then t'oth er, till otewart got Kate undermost 3nd tr.cn I crtA Uini fiiriiKln at (no ci.Ia fit cima thin, ' A mnl!. nm.r.l Plmn,r --Ha to me quick 'Look out, Ru,look out!

Well it made me mad to see Rafe turn over on his back, so I sprung for'ard, and afore Stewart could use his knile agin I pinned him to the ground. 'S'render, ses I.1 " I'll see ou d d fust ses he-and then he turned all sorts o' colors and fiinied. 'Well, the Gineral and I staunched the blood both of Rite and Dick, and we carried them 'em to the djg-out, and I paddled down the Bio, makin' the nearest tracks for Columby.

Well, 1 suppose not! li never yet met the individual who would acknowledge the corn. , Shall 1 tell you of alittle adventure I was once witness to with a "snorei?" - The varieties of the genus 'Snorer' is very extended. There i your qffiet, sighing nnobstrnsive snorer wlio always has 'a good time' at it, and troubles nobody. There is your wheezing, chuckling, squeaking snorer; who makes a regular business of it, but who keeps it all 'in the family,' and, peradven ture. annoys only the partner of his joys and sorrows. There is also your nas;l grumbler, (who sleeps in the next room!) who mumbles and grunts and gets over it. But if there be tinder Heaven, any olject of pity one that should excite the sympathy of the benevolently disposed more than another, commend me .to your out-and-out sncrei! ; To appreciate his qnaliiies fully you should be fatigued and restless youiself after a three days' journey over a thumping bad toad, and you shall run ailiuait him. where the steamboa'. line connects a! a late hour in the night. You shall retire to one ot the few cots left which you find stretched in the centre of the cabin for the accom modation of the last comers and after the dreadful jolting vou have passed through for the previous twenty four or lorly-eight hours as the case may be, you shall regale yourself, imaginatively, (during the process of undressing) with ihe prospective enjoyment which nature's sweet resiuier has iu reserve for you! Your weary head touches the pillow; bill an unusual nervousness troubles you; and despite your most earnest endeavors, it is midnight before you can compose yourself, Yon aie at lust worn out with tossing and turuing and, though ihe night is warm, and the vermin are active, you are determined lo sleep. For the last half hour you have been listening to what you imagined distant ihunder, (you are afraid of lightning.) and at the i:it ( wi f ttnti li- im r i iw I i r IV. 1 l.i mi rr rr'irj (!( .? i rut i to Ihe embrace of Alorpueus, your eyes sud . , ' ; J , J O I I J ! is sli?hilv knitted, vou involuntarily ask vourself 'What's that?" In reply to your interrogatory, a sort of explosion takes place a iniuiature eiuptioh of Vesuivus, a blast 'irhoo of and the sound rolls away in a- long drawn, unearthly sigh, like the last effort of a suffocating man to recover his breath and all is silent again. In such a plight, and at such a lime some years ago, 1 remember lo-hnve met a Yankee in t lie Cabin of a crowded canal Tacket. It wos near midnight when he came on board, at Pittsburgh, from one of ihe O'mo river steamers. He was a very plain man, and had. been . 'out west.' so ho said and wns'saiisSed too home again! The Cabin was crammed, and an 'upright' was alotted to him in the middle ol the floor, with some others. He was a live Yankee and occupied considerable lime iu undressing, securing his watch, adjusting the ir , , , , - i - i bed-clo:hcs, ami caiiug for his tin, which ' lio 45 1r '-w I ftivfiv nnr nr t li n; I rvw I f p ft n : I he stowed awny under the pillow. ly mounted the piece ol fuiniiuie, which some lady-wrher compares to a fence rail. j covered with two strips of tape, and stretch ed himself out for the night.

And there he stood 'in his tracks1 his teeth chattering, his eyes distended, with both hands grasping the side rail of his cot as he yelped out llel-Zaw.'' 'What's that?' The tincoi'cious sleeper was relieved, momentarily and he vouchsafed no aniwer. The Yankee gazed about loo cabin cauitiously but his fellow-lodgers were all MV d IJjJrt 1 C II . ly , BUU UIO . yIraii boat, was all that now broke the silence. Again he mounted the cot, and at the moment I supposed he had at last gone to the land of nod' for the night another 'Ker r-r clhe ' irioo' burst Iroin the throat of the snorer on his right, who had now got the steam well up. While the stranger started up to look for the cause a 'Per shee swelu ooh' escaped the grimier, End our. Yankee could contain himself no longer. With one bound he sprang to the floor with 'llel-ow I say ' 'Ah-peoo!' 'Thunder and earthquakes!' 'Wot is it?' 'Ar-ker-ker sloo oo ' Don't r 'Tchoo ' 'No, it ain't me ' Er y hou!' 'Blast your pictur hain't 'Ah tishP '1 say yer lie." 'Er a hou !

By this time the cabin was in a roar for the scene in iis early stages had awakened most of the crowd, who had enjoyed it right heartily. The snorer turned over suddenly upon his side, and ihe effect awakened him. 'What's ihe row, neighbor?' he inquired of the Yankee, who stood over him with a light. lllaow?

At daylight he landed and as lie parted with the Captain, he declared that he had heern poweiful thunder in his lime, but that chap's snorin' beat all the high-pressures he ever heard. From I li e Cincinnati Gazette. COR W I N versus J EN I FER. During a former session of Congress, Messrs. Corwin of Ohio, and jenifer of Maryland, were very intimate. The latter like all Marylandets, believes the 'Eastern shore' is the Paradise of the woild, and he was in the habit as ofien as opportuniiies offered, of 'pokin fun at Corwin about the 'Buckeyes' and the Stale of Ohio generally. Corwin bore this persecution patiently for awhile, usually, however, returning shot for shut; uuiil one day while dining at the Piesideni's, Jeniler came down upou him so hard, that Corwin resolved lo silence him forever, so rising . from his seat, he remarked thai he was not in the vein for story telling, but he Lwould relate an incident that occuned dor ing ihe early part of his professional career, in a Court House in the interior of the State ofOhio. He said that the judge had just taken his seat upon the bench, and a cause was about to be commenced, when a very white haired old gentleman came tottering into the couri room, upon a cane in either h ind. The old man had been a soldier of the revoluiion,and had come iu to procure a lawyer lo prepare his papers, that lie might receive his semiannual payment. This service was always, of course, rendered gratis. The papers, continued Mr. C, were handed over to him,' and af.er asking some of the oilier necessary question, he enquired the age of ihe pensioner. Iu a tremulous, slnill voice, the od man answered, 'F-o-r-t-y fi-v-e.' 'You do not understand me, old gentlemau,' said Mr. C. '1 wish to know hoto old you are?' 'Iam f-o-r-t-y f-i-v-e, young sir.' 'My dear sir, I do not wish to know how old you were when you left the service, or when you entered it but I want to know how old you are now.'' '1 told ye. forty five? Mr. Couvin then looked up lo the Judge (who was himselfgetling out of patience) in despair, and his honor taking the matter in hand, iu a peiemplory manner remaiked to the old gentleman : 'Tlie Court cannot be detained in this way the counsel is endeavering to render you a gratuitous service, pud you must not trifle wiih his lime. Answer his question directly Now sir, how old are your '1 am forty five, Judge, again shrilled out the old soldier. 'I will not hear this contempt any longer,' said the Judge. 'If you do not answer the question the next time it is put, you shall be committed, aged as you are. Aow, sir, again 1 ask, hoivold are you?'' '.I -din forly fceP ihe ojd man provokingly repeated. 'Mr. Sheriff, take him lo jail, ihe Court will see whether that will do him any good.' The old gentlemm was led away, but just as he was going out a, the door, he raised his head, and partly turning atound on his sticks; toward the Court, said: Judge, the first thirty-secen years of my life, I lived on the Eastern shore of Maryland! You surely don't think God will count them against me?'' Mr. Jeniler has Ohio' since. not been heard lo say The Puidi: of Virginia Blood. We have heard a great many anecdotes of the glory which the Virginian takes in his origin, and of his manner of vaunting of it. Many of these stories are as ridiculous as the claim, bul the drollest illustration of it that we have met with is in a Iloosier stoty which treats of ihe courtship of an old and ugly Virginia widow, whose wealth rendered her very atUac'ive to the for.une hunters of Indiana. Among the resl a young lawyer waited on her one morning with designs upon his palpitating eeatt : Jest while he "war gillin cT into a reglar stump speech on the subject, says the vain, in walked the two Misses Witkeusesthe pootyest and sassyest gals in the settle ment. After thej'd got seated, the widder turned round to Dick, jest as ef that'd been no one present, and ses she. 'Mr Mason, what kind of blood do you spring from?' That staggered Dick, and trying to think, he got wusser in a heap than the Doctor; 'sides ihe pals got a gighn' at him. 'Why 1 was born in Indianee,' said Dick, ;and I'm of ihe oDinion mv old did'war as ( respectable a planter as lived in his country any whar.' 'Indianee!' said the old widder, turning up her nose-' I'm thinkin',Mr. Mason, you'll hav to use a good deal of sarparillar to purify Indianee blood up lo furst rale family Virgininian standard. You mixture might suit my Sally pinting at her nigger servint -'but it can't take care ot misses.' 'I guess I'll go try the sarparillar,1 said Dick, and as mad as a wild cat he bolted out of the pi rlor. JOIIV It. WIIiCOX.
