Death from hydrophobia. --Mr. John Cox, an old citizen of Cleveland, Ohio, died on the 1st instant, of hydrophobia. The Cleveland Plain dealer, after stating that he was bit in the hand by a dog last September, says: After the wound healed, Mr. Cox thought no more about the matter, and had no suspicion that the dog was rabid, or that he stood in any danger from an attack of hydrophobia. He first complained of pains in the left arm on Monday, the 28th ult. On Tuesday evening he soaked his feet in warm water, and, after drinking a hot sling, went to bed, feeling quite comfortable. At ten o'clock that night he awoke with a sudden start and a cry of fright. His daughter came to his bedside and asked him if he would like a glass of water. He replied that he would. She brought the water, and he rose up in the bed to receive it, but as soon as his eye fell upon it he started back in a spasm, and exclaimed, "I know what is the matter with me, it is that bite!" From that time

went, and saw, according to the captain's statement, 001 African's, (Congos,) about one-third of whom were children. They appeared for the most part in good health, and were provided with an abundant supply of provisions, consisting of rice, beef and pork, besides plenty of water. The captain said he had brought the slaves from the Congo River, and had been thirty-five days out. His crew consisted of about seventeen men, composed of Spaniards and Americans. The brig was set fire to on the 9th instant. The slaves had been landed at Anguilla three days before Capt. Eneas saw them, during which period the captain of the slaver had been over to the coast of Cuba and secured the services of a schooner, which took off about 400 of the slaves an hour after Capt. Eneas' arrival. The captain of the slaver detained four or five of Capt. Eneas' crew till the first portion of the slaves had been carried off the bay. They were then suffered to go, and the rest of the slaves were carried to a

report we heard from passengers was that a skirmish took place on Saturday or Sunday between the pickets near Alexandria, in which six Hessians were killed and no one hurt on our side. It is probably the same skirmish mentioned in the Northern dispatches, below. We heard yesterday morning a rumor of the arrest of Col. Richard Thomas, of Richard, whose recent exploits have endeared him to every Southern heart. We did not credit the rumor until we received the Baltimore Exchange, of the 9th inst., which contains the following paragraph in relation to the matter: We learn that Mr. Richard Thomas, of St. Mary's county, and five or six other persons, were arrested on board the steamer Mary Washington as she was coming up the bay yesterday. The charges against them are believed to be that they were concerned in the seizure of the St. Nicholas a few days since. The party were coming up to the city as passengers, when they were pointed out by two spies on board the boat, and as

Homicide at Delhi. --A fatal affray occurred at Delhi, La., on the 9th inst., between a Mr. Loving, a private in the Delhi Southrons, and Captain Slade, of the same company, in which the former was shot and instantly killed by the latter. It seems that Slade charged Loving with having broken up the company; that they had had a quarrel at Jackson, after the company was disbanded, and that the quarrel was renewed at Delhi, the result of which was as above stated.

Great provision sale. --Two thousand four hundred and eighty-five barrels mess pork; 350 barrels rump pork; 208 casks clear sides, and 70 casks rib sides, were sold at auction in Memphis on the 9th inst. They consisted of a large surplus remaining in the hands of the "Provision Association." The sale was the largest ever effected perhaps, in the Southern market, and involved the sum of $90,000 to $100,000. In addition to this, some 3,000 bushels of wheat, besides large quantities of flour, corn, &c., were disposed of.

nment before fall, or at latest, next spring, at which time the cotton and tobacco will be needed here. * * It is the opinion, publicly expressed, of all the official people here, that the South will be recognized. They all say that it must be so, as a matter of course, as it is to the interest of the Government. It is to be hoped that Mr. Dayton is not deceived by the promises made to him, and that he will see through polite speeches that mean nothing. The Montreal Herald, of the 9th instant, says: There is a rumor that the British fleet has left Halifax for the purpose of breaking the Southern blockade. It is probable that the purpose is only the general one of protecting British interests, which demand that free access shall be had to the important Southern ports, so long as they are not blockaded in a manner deemed legal according to the international law. The Quebec Chronicle, of Thursday week, says: Mr. C. Johnson, a Queen's messenger, has arrived in

Conspirators. --The Savannah News, of the 9th inst., says: Deputy Marshal James J. Beasley, of the Confederate Court of Charleston District, desires to return his thanks to Captain Good-win, of the Savannah Police, for his courtesy and prompt assistance in the arrest of the four conspirators of the crew of the privateer Jeff. Davis, in this city, on Saturday night last. We learn from Mr. Beasley that a conspiracy existed among the passengers and a portion of the crew of the privateer to kill the Captain and officers of the Jeff. Davis, and to take the vessel into the port of New York.--This conspiracy has been disclosed since the return of Capt. Coxetter and crew to Charleston, and proof of the designs of the conspirators established by the affidavit of one of the crew. It is thought that the conspiracy had some agency in the stranding of the Jeff. Davis on the St. Augustine bar.

Contraband in a coffin. --On Monday afternoon, 9th inst., says the Baltimore Sun, the sentinels of the Second Maryland Regiment, on guard at the Long Bridge, on the Anne Arundel shore of the Patapsco, had their attention attracted to the approach of a funeral procession, consisting of a sombre hearse and attendants. The first sentinel allowed the hearse to pass, but the second stopped it, and an examination revealed a lot of muskets and ammunition concealed in the coffin. The attendants escaped, but the hearse and horse were captured.

-"There," said this patriotic man, "there goes nine dashed dollars," and he turned his head to prevent further contemplation of such sacrifice of property. It was late in the evening when we reached Fairfax, after an easy ride of eight miles over the road that passes through Vienna. The moon was shining brightly in the sky, and its beams falling through the grand old trees counter changed the road with "dusk and bright," like the mosaic floors of Damascus. The lovely night, the soft September air, she old associations connected with the place, and the fresh incidents of the past few months crowded upon the memory and effectually prevented any labor. Sitting upon the balcony of our hotel we dreamed half the night away over our cigars, the blue smoke of which, curling around our heads, formed the web and woof of many splendid fancies. The Gerinans have a saying that it is the true test of friendship to be able to sit in another's company an hour without speaking — to enjoy that
