an officer from the British steamer Buzzard,
when an altercation occurred between him and

threatened serious consequences to the former.
The account is furnished by Captain Nicholls,.

Captain Bartlett, and is in substance as follows:

TEE 3BITISH 00TIAG38.
The special correspondent of the New York
Herald thus writes:
WVasa4Tsovo, May 24, 1858.--There is great
excitement in Washington from the accounts
published in the Herald yesterday of miore outrages by. British cruisers, and Congress is in the
disposition to give additional powers to the President. The administration believes Great Britain will repudiate the conduct of its naval otfieers, but has prepared to repel -such outrages
should they be repeated.
In addition to the Colorado, Jamestown and
Despateh, of the Home Squadron, the Navy Department has ordered the Wabash, Fulton, Aretic, Water Witch and Dolphin to cruise on our
coast and in the Gulf, with orders to protect our
merchant nuen from search. The administration
will not permit search under any pretence of
treaty or suspicion. The broad ground that the
Americanjtag is inviolate has been taken, and
sill be maiatand.
The bill introduced by Judge Douglas in the
Senate to~day to redress outrages upon the flag
-and citizens of the United States, and which is
donbtless'given in your report of the Senate's
proceedings, is one of the most importantthesteps
taken for years. Affecting the power of Executive, giving the President power to rodress
outrages upon our flag and citizens, it is precisely what Mr. Buchanan desires. It will
place the responsibility upon him and be will
not flinch in ;ts exercise. It is understood the
Committee on Forei n Relations will report the
bill baek immediately.
Judg Douglas will move an amendment to the
bill, tie substance of which is to empower .the
President in eases of violation of the laws of
nations and outrage by a foreign government on
our eit'zens, to issue special letters of reprisal,
'to bc placed in the hands of an officer of the
United States Navy, who will proceed in a vessel of war and seize upon the property of the

CLEAN OUT TOUR WELLS,
A disagreeable complaint is said to be prevalent in
our town which some think is attributable to the water
we drink. Be this as it may, it is right to clean o'ut
wells, and to keep them clean, at this season of the
year. The public pump and wall should be seen to
by a committee of Council. It is considered imaportant by many citizens.
*We again also uge the Trustees of the Male Academy to attend to the Academy well and have it put in
order. Let the pump be taken out, the well be cleaned,
and a windlass and bucket attached at once. Any
common hands can do this at small expense; surely
something ought to be done writhout delay. The teechers and students complain very justly in this matter.

CONTINUATION FROM LEIPSIC.

LEIPSIC, May 1st, 1858.
Charging round lately among the wonders of the
before mentioned Fair, I said to myself, "if certain
Edgefield people who have in them a spico of the
devil (are any entirely free?) were only here. how
they would shout with laughter." Pardon, friends
beloved ! In imputing to you a slight leaven of the
"old enemy," I dont mean to be in the most shadowy
degree disrespectful; so far from it, I consider a
leetle of the said leaven actually necessary. Upon a
certain square in Leipsic at present, you can see
spread out before you like a map, the most comic of
all Comic Almanace-one in which the figures live
and breathe. Let me, for pure fun, give you an
abridged lie of the sights. And as in duty bound, I
give the first place to my fair countrywoman, "Miss
Julia Pastrana, the Bear Woman, from the American
Desert." This most revolting, hideous, baboonish
female is creating in Europe a positive excitement.
Here, she appears very elegantly dressed, frightfully
docollete as regards both neck and legs, and entertains the audience with English and Spanish songs,
the Cachuca and the Highland Fling. The great

ally, has been very appropriately compared to a man
who has a lantern, but is too stingy to buy a candle.

M. EPIvon:-Stone Mountain, formerly known as
New Gibraltar, is a small village situated on. the
Georgia Rail Road, one hundred and fifty-five miles
from Augusta. It has a population of about five
hundred. There is one hotel, a large brick building
consisting of seventy rooms, kept by Mr. Alexander,
and which is always thronged during the summer
season by those who come from all quarters to see the
mountain, breathe its puro salubrious atmosphere,
and drink the ice-cold water which gurgles up so in-

broad aureingle of gold lace around his middle man.
I particularly recommend this style of costume to the
Exhibitors of cattle at our Edgefield Fair next fall.
What a sensation "Murphy" would create upon
that occasion ! The number and variety of gifted
and accomplished Apes is much too numerous for detail. Last but by no means least, comes the couple
of Elephants, "Jack and Jenny." Their Bude is
thronged with enraptured gazers from morning till
night, and often can be seen among the audience, individuals of both sexes, whom the. Elephants might
well regard as formidable rivals. The feas and exploita of these graceful quadrupeds arc really entertaining. Each one in this array of monstera', two
legged and four legged, has a separate tent.
Mixed up pci1 mell with all these, are countless
Deer Shops, Cake Stands, Fruit Stalls, and tables
containing sausages and eggs. Sausages of all sizes,
from that of an Elephant's trunk to that of a pipe
stem,-of all lengths and consistencies,-amooth and
rough-red, white, gray and black, sold by the pound,
ounce, yard or half yard. And hard boiled eggs
dyed every hue of the rainbow. People hero eat
sausages and eggs for pastime, as we do "pinders"
and ehetnuts. What can he more laughable than to
be asked if you will have a blue or a pink egg, or
such and sueh a sausage ? The names or qualities of
the sausages, I have not the temerity to attempt. And
streaming to and fro, wriggling in and out among the
tents and stalls, are bands of Swiss, Tyroilese and
Steyermarkische Peasante, sirains and lasses, tricked
out in fanciful and picturesque costumes, who bear
harps and guitars,. and at a given signal, halt and
hold forth long and loud. The egg and sausage ven.
dern, always of the fair sex, (the. "fair " being in this
case entirely by way of courtesy !) salute you as you
pass, though you hare not cast an eye upon them
with " what seek you then my good sir ?" and " here
you will find such as is not in Leipsie." While othera', more daring, will actually assault you in the ribs,
and compel you in self defence to commit the indecency of buying sausage or eggs. The pleasure seekera in this scene, reodkra of the Comic Almanac, arc
just as various and striking, as the objects they go to
ously. When his best friend was blown into the air

healthful amuiement, offers at the same time the most
seductive temptations; and it is ile association of,
the drama with establishments like these, that has
drawn over an amusement at'nce rational and in.
structive, the film of distrust. The pure legitimate

support of a polished and enlightened people.. And
why? asks the bigotted opponent. Why! Because
with it are linked in Indissoluble bonds, the most attractive artp, and because the most refined and cultured minds have toiled to brighten and preserve it
from decay. On what shrine have poetry, painting
and music poured so many rare oblations-in what
amusement else- have the "sister-arts" blended so
beautifully their varied powers? Within its magic
circle come hope, love and charity, and from the faithful pictures of life, its temptatfons, trials, struggles
and disappointments therein presented, who shall

to strengthen, or to elevate. Destroy the weeds which
have idly been allowed to engender evils well worthy

through this pleasing medium, and 'the Drama may,
and eventually will, occupy a position to which its
L. B- D.
great merits give ample claim.
Sages and Philosophers, Ministers and Doctors, and
in fact all those whose lives and studies have given
them the power and the privilege of analyzing the
human mind, have decided that amusement is as necessary to the mental, as food and drink are to the
physical powers. It gives an agreeable and healthy
relief when cares and labor press t* hardly upon us,
and it diverts the mind from lingering too much over
one absorbing idea, or one deep rooted morrow. It
has been said that "man are but children of a larger
growth," which theory, if true, proves conclusively,
that the desire for amusement is net a cultivated, hut
a natural love ; for the first thing that attracts the
ehld is that which can afdord the most enjoyment.
As the child advances into life, new passions open a
broad field for exertion ; but into whatever path his
tastes may lead him, the love of amusement is still as
strong, though of a different and more secided char.
actor ; for where in the one it is a natural feeling, in
a crude uncultivated state ; in the other, it has grown
from the changes and the training of active life, to
an actual necessity. Now of all classes of amusement provided to satisfy this innate longing of the
mind, no kind so thoroughly succeeds as that known
as the dramatic-and hence we opine that the Drama
is not of a perishable nature. Man, whatever his
nature, loves to contemplate the action of his bllowmen, and through the medium of his own, or another's
imagination, view the varied page of every day life.
hence it is, that from the age when the rude'eart
of Thespis rolled from town to town, and village to
village, down to'the present time, the Drama has occupied a prominent position with the peple. It
strengthens and enlarges the, imaginative faculties,
offers an inexhaustible fountain for mirth, and if rightly conducted, invigorates and improves the moral
character. The principal objection made by those
opposed to the Drama is, that there are associations
connected with it that have a tendency to degrade
rather than elevate the moral sense; but this objection has nothing to do with the Drama, and should
never be weighed in the seal. against it. There is a
vast difference between the Treatro and the Drama,
(we speak of course of the legitimate Drama,) and
the character of the first has too often been the cause
of evil to the second. Too much cannot be 'amid

a living proof of the indomitable energy and enterprising Industry of the.Anglo-American race. Thirteen years ago this place was known as Marthass-ille,
and three private families, one hotel and one store,

Georgia Rail Road, and merely servedar a depot etation. Sinc'e then, there have been three other roads
constructed from here, viz: Western.k Atlanta, which
runs to Chattanooga in Tennessee; Macon k Western,
running to Macon; and the Atlanta & Lagrange,Aerminating at West Point.
Thus, since the 15th of September, 1845, when the
Georgia road first reached this point, these roads have
been built which connect Atlanta with all the important commercial marts from Charleston to Nashville
and Memphis. As a natural sequence to these facilities the insignificant town of Marthasville, has grown
up and waxed strong with a rapidity unparallelied in
the history of any town or city ; Chicago itself not
excepted. There are eleven churches here, several
schools and academics, and a Medical College; or

schools, I mean to speak in a future letter.
Now a little news and I forbear. Three weeks ago,
theirs was considerable excitement in Atlanta, oecnsiotned by a most foul murder committed on the pserson of one Samuel Landrumn, an old man who had
been in the city a few days selling beeves. The horrible deed was committed by three fiends, whose
names are respectively, Crockett, Cobb and Jones. It
appears thant they, suspecting lim toa have somen mnoney, followed him out senme three miles, and by assuming a mask of friendship, entered into conversation,
rode with him in his wagon, took him off his guard
and knocked him down with a slung-shot. They
then rifled his pockets, threw him Into the woods and
left him. They endeavored to make their escape, hut
were captured, Crockett first, and two weeks afterwards the other two. The Superior Court happened
to be sitting at the time of Crockett's arrest, and as
he confessed the crime and offered no defence, he was
sentenced to be hung the 18th June. Jones and Cobb
were carried to Milledlgeville for safe keeping till
court, when doubtless, they will share poor
Crockett's fate.
Rev. ,T. R. Graves of "Iron Wheel " notoriety, is
delivering a series of lectures here now to prove that
the Baptists are,not Protestants. There is no man
living who has been mere unjustly persecuted than
this great, candid, and good man. Instead of his being that severe ruffian-lika preacher that his enemies
would have believed, he is one of the mildest and
most pleasant speakers I ever listened to. Every
thing he utters is said with the utmost deference to
the opinions of ethers. His ability none dispute.

CONTINUATION FROM LEIPSIC [SIC]
LEIPSIC, May 1st, 1858.
Charging round lately among the wonders of the before mentioned Fair, I said to myself, "if certain Edgefield people who have in them a spice of the devil (are any entirely free?) were only here. How they would shout with laughter." Pardon, friends beloved! - In imputing to you a slight leaven of the "old enemy," I dont mean to be in the most shadowy degree disrespectful; so far from it, I consider a leetle of the said leaven actually necessary. Upon a certain square in Leipsic at present, you can see spread out before you like a map, the most comic of all Comic Almanacs-one in which the figures live and breathe. Let me, for pure fun, give you an abridged lie of the sights. And as in duty bound, I give the first place to my fair countrywoman, "Miss Julia Pastrana, the Bear Woman, from the American Desert." This most revolting, hideous, baboonish female is creating in Europe a positive excitement. Here, she appears very elegantly dressed, frightfully decollete as regards both neck and legs, and entertains the audience with English and Spanish songs,
the Cachuca and the Highland Fling. The great bard has said
" Naught so vile that on the earth doth live,
But to the earth some special good doth give."
Now what Miss Pastrama's "special good" is, I cant-see; she has however an exquisite foot and ankle, and perhaps is fulfilling her destiny in showing the Germans what they cant see at home. Next, " The White Maidens from Central America," two remarkable Albinos, with faultless complexions, bright pink
yes, and beautiful long snow white hair. They are also musical, and come out armed with guitars. "The Dark Man out of the Forests of Africa," who is no more nor less than a "likely fellow," for whom I think they are also indebted to America. He slows
in "Georgia summer dress," with the addition of rings through his nose and ears. His performances consist of maneuvres with bow, arrows did club, but the hoe would come much more natural to him, for I am sure he has escaped out of our midst. Can the Fugitive Slave Law be pushed as far as this? " The Miraculous Boy," who in a mesmeric state sees into the future as far, perhaps, as the other end of the Millenium, but who is in reality an idiot and cant tell his name. " The Prophet Horses," a pair of stunted beasts, that sit upon their haunches, gaze round upon
the bystanders, shuffle cards with their mouths, and predict future events as infallibly as Mad. S., of C." The le Horse," a much to be pitied creature, that by some means or other has been entirely deprived of hair and polished like a mahogany table. But the most ludicrous of all is "Murphy, the largest Swine in the world, 21 years old and weighing 1048 lbs!" This dainty thing has blue ribands in his ears and a broad aureingle of gold lace around his middle man. I particularly recommend this style of costume to the Exhibitors of cattle at our Edgefield Fair next fall. What a sensation "Murphy" would create upon that occasion ! The number and variety of gifted and accomplished Apes is much too numerous for detail. Last but by no means least, comes the couple of Elephants, "Jack and Jenny." Their Bude is thronged with enraptured gazers from morning till night, and often can be seen among the audience, individuals of both sexes, whom the. Elephants might well regard as formidable rivals. The feats and exploits of these graceful quadrupeds arc really entertaining. Each one in this array of monsters, two legged and four legged, has a separate tent.

Subject
The topic of the resource
Pastrana's importance in scientific discussions and as a historical figure
Description
An account of the resource
Pastrana was often marketed as being an important link between human and animal. Doctors conducted intrusive examinations of her body, writing letters that proclaimed her importance as a figure of scientific study. Pastrana also reflects some of the anxieties of her historical moment--a time when the Industrial Revolution and the Mexican American War created instability in the U.S. This collection will feature documents that suggest her importance in scientific and historical conversations.
