In the early part of tbe Venezuelian
war of independence, Boliver, who after
wards rose t such a pitch of greatness,
was a colonel in command of tbe castle ot
Puerto Caballo, that commanded the har-
bor and the town^of that name. The pop
nlaee were opposed to tbe patriots, and
unfortunately thete was a traitor in the
castle, named Cabrera, who was tho adju-
tant of tbe post.
I had been in port several days, trans-
ferring my cargo from my vessel, tbe Sea-
She!!, to the castle, having sold out my
entire stock in trade to Boliver, at a good
round price. I hpd landed my last pack-
age from my brig, and bad taken in water
and ballast lor my return voyage ; and
intended, so soon a* tbe land breeze should
rise, on tbe following morning, to lift my
anchor and away. I had received my
money, and all that remaiiíÉM was to pay
my respects fo the oomm'anjaut' and the
other officers, for whom I bad cbnceivtSi a
warm friendship.
Accordingly, as night fell, I stepped into
my yawl aud directed my men to pull to
the boat landing, beneath the northern
bastion of the castle, w litre.I left them with
orders to returft to the brig, and come for
me when I should sigcal for tbem by
swinging mv boat lanteru from tbe bat-
tlfinent.
I had been expected, and Boliver, with
a number of bis officers, received me with
that affability for which he was remarka-
ble.
After supper, wine and cheerful conver
sation followed till a late hour. All bis
Ificers, with tbe exception of Cabrera, the
new adjutant, were present. This mans
duty was to make the round of the cita-
del, examine into the security of tbe pns
onerá, and see that the guards had been
properly disposed, and tbeu to report to
his commander. B| ttbe hour* passed on
till deep in the night, and yet the adju
tant bad not made bis app< arafice.
Bolivar began to evince signs of tffipa'
tience, and directed one of the lieutenants
prtsunt to desctnd to the gQard -house
and order the absent officer to present his
night report hnmeikateiy.
Alio messenger returned without (bead
jutant, and, with a troubled expression*
upon his face, approached bis commander
aud whispered suruething in his ear.
''No! no !" exclaimed Boliver, as'he
sprang to his feet," it cannot be'true!"
But at this instant a pistol shot was
heard, and then a volley of musketry, fol-
lowed by shouts of—
' Long live th« King! Death to the
vibAs!" , . #
" Follow me, gentleman.!" exclaimed
Boliver, as be snatched hp his sabre, and
sprang to tbe door, " that arch villain, Ca-
brera, has released the newly anived pris-
oners, eupprised the guards, and opened
whe gates to the cut throat dogs of the
city I* ....
So saying, he rushed to the parade, fol
lowed by the officers and tU)8e>if. But it
was now useless to proceed farther, for so
Completely bad the treacherous adjutant
formed his plans, that the fort vw*s already
in bis possession.
Boliver, at a glance, comprehended the
Mate of the case; and motiouing us back
to the quarters whence we hftl issued, fol-
lowed in our rear, and strongly bolting tbe
póstera behind him, rejoined us in the
supper £ootn. .
"Gentlemen," said he, now -perfectly
cool and master of bis feeling) , " the cas
tie is in the possession of these, traitors!
Treachery has conquered all our vigilance,
and there now remains to us bu£ one hope.
Captain Gordon," he contioued, turning to
me, "can you instantly signal your vessel?"
" I can," Í answered.
" Then, sir, do so. She presents our
only escape 1"
While be was'speaking we could bear
ao excited rabble battering at the postern
opening upon tbe room we were occupy-
ing. Soon the murderous crowd would
be upon us, I ran out upon the balcony
overhanging the harbor. There lay the
Sea Shell, resting vquietly upon the
, like a duck asleep with her head
under her wing. Not a ripple disturbed
the calm bosom of tbe harbo^ for it was
at that breezeles# hour wben the regular
north-east trades baring died away, were
soon to give ptace to the briefly continu-
ing breath of tbe land, f waved my lan-
tern,and tbe signal was instantly answered.
lh« sudden alarm in the castle had aroused
my men ; and while I yet swung my light
out over the balcoBy, I heard the rattlin
of the oars in the boat, and then tbe spla
of tbe sweeps in the w^ter.
At this moment we heard a crash of
the door below, and in another instant a
rush was made for the room where tbe
officers yet lingered. -Boliver, like a lion
at bay, turned upon tbe fierce assailants,
and with bis powerful arm rained u >on
tbeir beads a deadly shower of sabre cuts.
The entrance was soon deluged in blood;
and, although well secouded by his com-
panions, tbe Crowd that forced itself up
from below, regardless of the deaths of
their comrades, were in a moment too nu
tnerous for bim, and the Governor aud his
friends were obliged to fail back upon tue
balcony.
I had continued to swing my lantern
impatiently urging my men to the sbore>
dace
and now shouted to tbem to make all baste.
This, however,was not necessary, for I was
satisfied that they were doing their best:
Still they were too late ! The iri'surgents
rushed in upon us, and were already
swarming upon the balcony, when ¿oliver
shouted—
"To tbe water, friends ! To the water!
The tide is up and we must swim for it!"
And, setting the example, he leaped ever
the balustrade, and, suspending himself a
moment, swung hi3 body out over the
rocks, and dropped below. We heard a
plunge and then an encouraginS^shout,and
could see the brave colonel strike out for
the approaching boat. We follo^d bim,
and by the time tbe last of the Jmtriot
officers bad reached the water they*1""
we had left was filled with the fierce
tors, who rattled volley after volley
us. But ail in vain. Not a man
toticbed.
Scarcely bad we struck out from the
rocka than the boat reached us, and in five
minutes more we were all safely on board
tbe Sea-Shell.-
Tbe land* breeze soon sprang up, and
before the insurgents could bring tlie guns
of the fort to bear upon us, in tbeir eager
search for the plunder of the officers'
quarters, we were flying out of the harbor.
After cruising a few days on the coast,
we fell in with a Columbian privateer, on
board of which, át his request, Boliver
and his companions were trausferred.
On a subsequent voyage, when the pat-
riots were once more in possession of the
ports, I met again with the hero of that
night's adventure at Puerto Caballo. He
had already risen' to the command of tbjé
revolutionary array, and had not forgotten
the little servicer had then rendad him.
I was received with the most flattering,
attentions, and among other testimonials
was presented with the commission of port
captain in the new navy of the Republic ";
and when Boliver afterwards became Pres
ident, be caused my name to be enrolled
on the pension list of the government,aud
to this day I continue to receive tbis token
of the friendship and gratitude of tbat
truly noble patriot. * , y
Invasion from Kansas. -
We extract the following from the'cor-
respondence of tbe Charleston Mercury :
Now, about this God-forsaken, famine-
stricken, nigger-thief ridden State of Kan-
sas. Those who think the deadly hatred
of the South which once burnt só fiercely
upon these prairies, is well nigh extinct,
were uever more mistaken. This devilish
hostility is only slumbering — not even
dormant—fur ever and anoa its activity is
seen in raids upon Missouri. Like a frozen
viper warmed to life by tttte fire, it is at
this moment coiling itself to strike.
The adjyintages which Southern Kansas
offer as a depot and rendezvous for a large
array towage war upon Missouri, Arkan-*
sas and Texa^ is already being coolly dis-
cussed in ¿^publican quarters. The plan
of a campaign is already arranged. An
attempt will be made to carry it out when
war begins. It is to concentrate an army
in Southeastern • Kansas, upon the borders
of Missourit composed of the Kansas mili-
tia and auxiliaries from Iowa "and Wis
cousin- Tbis army will operate first
against Missouri on tho west, in conjunc
tbn with two others, one from low a on the
north, the other from Illinois on the east.
If Missouri is conquered, the whole wil
meet upon tbe uorthwestern borders of
Arkansas, and conquering that State,sweep
on to Texas, and hold tbat country as the
southern end of a line of demonstration
against Louisiana and Mississippi. This
is the most practicable plan of invading
Southern States. A Northern horde can
not gain a foothold upon tbe Southern
seacoast; neither can it march through
tbe border slave States. They can only
come through Iowa and Nebraska into
Kansas, in order to reach a point to com
menee operations. - Missouri once whipped
they imaging their march to Galveston
Bay will be one of continual triumph, per
baps without striking a blow, owing to tbe
thinly settled state of the country. The
plauners of this campaign no doubt seri
ously entertain its execution, but tbey will
find the attempt met by far more difficul-
ties than they imagine. Missouri will not
be so easily conquered. If oeoessary, she
can protect herself by au army of two
hundred thousand men, and such armies
are not easily defeated.
Tbe Choctaw Indians have lately passed
resolutions to go with the South. The
Cherokees wi II follow suit. Tbey are all
slaveholders, and bard fighters; and, in
conjunction with an array of Arkansians,
will be a terror to tbe Abolition invaders.
Tbe occupation of Texas «ill not be a
bloodless one. Ben. McCullough's ran-
gers will want no better .pattirae than a
shy at Lincoln's cohorts. While the Kan-
sas militia are joining in the fray, they had
better watch the pirate* of the plains.
Let tbem once leave the borders ojf their
own State, and the Kiowa, Siou*, and
Pawnee Indians can exterminate tbe whites
from Pike's Peak to Missouri river.
Extensive military preparations are go
ing on all over the State, but principally
iu the southeast, bordering on the thinly
settled counties of Missouri. The militia
will bo organized at" the silting of the
■State Legislature on -the 26 h instant.
Montgomeiy, the notorious cut-throat of
Southern Kansas, will be a Brigadier-Geu-
eral, and Jennison, his partner in crime,
will also hold a commission. Secret asso-
ciations are rapidly forming arnoug liepub
licans. Man are being "spotted," and the
names of pro sla/ery uien taken down and
marked with a sign.
I believe the first gun fired at Sumter
will put the bloody ball in motion here.

Speech of Gen'l Waal.
In the congress of the Confederate
States at Montgomery, March 15th, Mr.
-Waul seul to the Secretary's desk the or-
dinance and vote of secession of Texas, and
made tbe following speech :
1 send to your desk, Mr. President, &
communication from the Presideut of the
Convention of the people of Texas, and an
ordinance adopted by her people ¡^con-
vention assembled, by which that State
become a member of this confederacy.
[*he people^of tbat State, sir, did not
know, at tbe time of the adoption of that
ordinance, of the confidence which this
G7ongreiMhad reposed in their fidelity and
devotionjk 'the rights of the South; tbey
did notMfc* that you bad already admit-
ted thepnembers of that State to a seat to
your counsels and deliberations; and that
e tbe -communication which is
was made, her delegates were
to ail the privileges ot the mem
(he floor of this congress. Tbe
of Texas will not soon forget such
ence reposed in their patriotism:
shall evir with pride remember the
f'abt that before their proclamation of se-
cession was issued, their State was already
represented by one of tbe stars tbat shine
in the galaxy of this confederacy.,.
The people of Texas began the revolu
tion which has so gloriously resulted in
tbe Confederacy of States, under the guid
ance of those principles contained in tbe
Declaration of Independence under which
our fathers maintained their liberty, that
all governments must derive their just au
thority from tbe consent of tho governed.
This revolution, Hke the torrents dowu
tbe mountain side, gathered as it flowed,
until, as a mighty stream, it swept irresist
ibly aif before it. The voice of the people
caine up like the roar of many waters,
drowning the gurgling brooks and babbling
riljs that attempted their notes in opposi
«on. Tt is known tbat a distinguished
citizen ofFexas was at the helm of State,
and at this hour of triumph, ere the song
of victory bad died from our ears, Í would
do injustice to Texas and to my own feel
fngs did I attempt to pluck one leaf from
lbs wreath thai surrounds bis brow, or
place one blot on the page of history illu
minated by bis nam^. "He and the people
of his State have differed. He appealed
to tbeir generosity, and no man ever made
it in vain. Lie was elected ouiiGovernor.
Let us hope tbat it was devotion to n Un-
ion that be loved not wisely, but too WelT^
tbft placed biiu in opposition to a people
who bad ever honored him.
When the news fefl upon tbe ears of our
people that Lincoln was elected ; when it
was known tbat South Carolina, the far-
thest from u& i a distance, would secede;
that abe stood like a knight in armor from
head to heel, .with 'viser down and lance in
rest—another Kurtius ready to spring into
the yawning chasm—willing to sacrifice
himself for the liberties of his country,
Texas became thoroughly aroused, and like
the well trained, high mettled war steed
when tbe charge is sounded, who swells
beyond tbe measure of his girth, throws
tbe feeble horseman and with bit in his
teeth, rushes to tbe van of battle, so Texas
sought her place in the grand array of
Southern chivalry. When she permitted
her territory to be divided iu 1851, many
of her bold sons felt the humiliation, and
when she bowed bef proud neck and passed
under tbe yoke, and permitted tbe fetters
to be placed on her free limbs, believe not^
sir, that she was le s sensitive to encroach
ments on her rights tbad now. She felt
that she was a new member of tbe confed-
eracy, and should err, if at all, on the side
of peace ; and was unwilling to embroil her
Southern sisters in a quarrel that was
chiefly her own ; but mistaken indeed
were they who supposed tbat her supine-
ness then would become submissive nOw.
No, no, sir, as soon as the call went forth,
"Sampson, the Philistines are upon thee 1"
she sprang forth, buisting the green and
slender withes, and s'ood like a young
Sampson with his unshorn locks, reveling
in his manhood, bis beauty and his power.
Nor is
she occupies by her act of secession. Seven
hundred miles of frontier is left without
protection*frora the raq^warlike, ferocious
and cruel savages On the continent. On
her western boundary is a nation whose
.life is revolution, and whose support is
depredation. From the mouth of the Sa-
bine to tbe Rio Grande, there is hardly one
mounted gun tó defend her against such
enemies as would attack them from tbeir
homes on the deep. Texas knows all tbis,
has counttd the cost, and comes a willing
member of this confederac}, choosing to
nbaro all the perils of a new government,
than be less than equal amidst her former
peers.
I am satisfied tbat the constitution that
has been unanimously adopted by this con-
gress for a permanent government, will
meet with the uuiversal approbation of our
State. You will perceive by the documents
forfPhrded, that the det ire was tbat a gov
.i* r, ni
eminent should bd formed, based upon tbp
constitutioaaaf the United States. - That
has been do&Mj^L addition, the experience
of seventy yearajRrexposed some dangers
and misconstruction which we have avoid-
ed or attempted1 to shun.
The patronage of the government which,
like the Maelstroms, drew within its vortex
all that approa^ed its attraction, we have
endeavored to check.
, We have locked, bolted, barred and
guarded tbe treasury. t yM
We have greatly curtailed the expenses
of legislation, destroyed extra allowan&s,
and saved the couutry to a gieat extent
from jobbeis and speculators. . Taxes are
to be Collected for tbe uses of government "Operation,, touching
alone, leaving jtidusiry free to pursue that
channel beet Suited to the tastes and hab-
its of our people. Indeed much has heed
done to corpmend it to the people of the
whole South,'£nd no change fjrom the old
constitution that can with reason be eon1
condemned.
Texas ha3 taken ber place, and locks
her shield with yours—her eyes are to tLe
front; and she casts no glance backward.
Reconstruction upon any terras is never
dreamed of within her borders—as tbat
confidence which holds nations as well as
individuals together is wanting. And, sir,
we have learned from history that a nation
once divided,'never,'never reunites upon
terms of equality. They have too vividly
befóte their minds the example of tbe first
secession that occurred in. history under
Jeroboam. When Rtjhoboam was asked
to yield to the Clamor for justice, and a re-
duction of their taxes, he gave an answer
after having been consulted with the young
men instead of the aged and wise,-that,
" My father made yoor yoke heavy, but I
will add thereto; My father chastised you
with whips, but I will chastise you with
scorpions." After this the people answered
the King, saying, "What portion have we
in David ? and bave we none inheritance
in the son of .Jesse ; every man to your
tents, O, Israel, aud how David see to thine
own house." And every man weBt to his
tent, tbe tén tribes went forth, and never.
never has that breach been healed. 'And
never will Texas consent again^ppon any
terms, to live with a people from whom
such injustice and oppression h_a7e been
manifested. I hope, sir, the strife of that
nation will find no parallel in this. Wé
would go iu peace, but if our adversaries
desire war, so bé it. If the old stars and
stripes are threatened as the banner to force
degradation, even so. with

JThe incident we are about to relate oc-
curred some years since in the Granit*
State, and as wa abide beyond striking
distance of the parties and theirlmmediate
frieuds, we shall be a little more free in
our description of the circumstances than
we otherwise should be.
Nathaniel Ela, or "Uncle N-*"
was generally called, was
rubicund and jolly _
hotel in tbe flaprlíhing village of Dover,
at tbe heiri. of the Piscatnqua, and was
exfigssively food of a bit of fun withal. He
Texas ignorant of t!ie posiuen was also owner of a large farm in New
Durham, about twenty miles distance, the
overseer of which was one Caleb Ricker,
or "Boss Kale," as he was termed by the
numerous hands under,his-control,fond of,
and sufficiently waggish for, all practical
fun and- frolic. Caleb, like a wise and
prudent man, had a wife ; so had " Uncle
Nat," who was accustomed to visit his
farm every month or two, to see how mat
ters went on. On tbe occasion of one of
these visite, the following dialogue occurred
between Uncle Nat aud Mrs. Ricker. *
"Mr. Ela," said the good lady, " why
have you never brought Mrs. Ela out to
the farm, and pay U3 a visit f I dare say
she would be pleased to spend a day or
two with us, and I would endeavor to
render her stay as pleasant and (ftmforta

"Why to toll you the truth, Mrs. Richer,"
said Uncle Nat, " I have been thinking
