She was one of a reguk line of packets running from Ne' Orleans to Havana ; and as a genen thing I used to be crowded with pai sengers. But navigation in those days wa not so pleasant as now, and thé Gu of Mexico and the waters aroun Cuba fairly swarmed with pirática crafts whose blood-thirsty deeds tei rified the whole merchant marine and the United States were forced t keep a large squadron actively crui sing, that fiually had the desirei effect, and in time cleared the water of the freebooters. I left Havana with a hold lull o merchandise, and'in the cabin I hat one passenger, a fine looking youn< man belongiug to Porter's fleet, thei stationed in Cuban waters. He wa: a midshipman, and had been wound ed in a cutting out expidition against the pirates, and was now bound tc New Orleans-where he resided-ir order to have an opportunity to full) recover his health. In the forward saloon were nine Spaniard?, black whiskered, swarthy looking fellows, and one Spanish maiden about twenty years old, com¬ pleted my passenger list. The young adv occupi stateroom in the alter <. must'Confess that her l»es black and luxuriant, he and melting as a gazel; quettish airs and smiles wi to í iiiii the hearts of the company. Site did nc have anything to do wi: trymen «in the forward cabin, and was disposed to treat them with silent contempt. I pitied the young lady, for neither the middy nor myself could speak a word ot' Spanish ; but. it did not ap¬ pear to m^íó rauch di fiore nee to th- young rascal, for he made love to the senorita every opportunity'that offer¬ ed, and she evidently enjoy, d it. Joi¬ ner soft musical voice could be heard singing through the cabin whenever he was by her side. She was evi¬ dently possessed ot' wealth, at least I judged so from the fact of her having such a profusion, of diamonds and precious stones, and I carno to the conclusion that the middy, despair¬ ing of promotion, wae laying an an¬ chor to windward, and I did not blame him lor capturing the prize if he could. But what puzzled me was how they, got along so well, when he could not speak a word of Spanish nor she a word of English ; but as the days rolled by, the impetuous middy push¬ ed the siege, and I had no doubt of £n ultimate triumph, I was stretching over for the Tor¬ tugas bank when one of the crew at work on the fore topsail yard, report¬ ed a sail in sight broad off the beam. Now a sail in those days meant danger, and nine times out of ten would turn out to bc a pirate ; so I slung my long glass over my shoulder, and jumped into the fore rigging. I was up aloft, sometime looking at the sail, that was glistening in the distance not much larger than a gulls wing. The wind was light, and variable, the sun dazzled my eyes, and a little swell rather interfered with, my ob¬ servations, and all combined kept me up aloft much longer than I imagined it. would, and I linally returned to dock not much wiser for my trouble. Descending the after companion way, I entered the cabin with the int'-ntion of turning into my state¬ room and enjoying a nap, while wait¬ ing l'or a breeze to spring up, but I had scarcely composed my sen when I heard a light, quick footstep crossing the cabin, and the middy entered my room without knocking, somewhat to my astonishment: and I was on t*he point of expressing my displeasure when I happened to ¿aten his eye, and Î saw in au instant that some¬ thing unusual had happened. His voice dropped to a whisper as he reached the side of my beith, and I shall never forget the thrill that shct through my heart as he said,- '. Cpptiiin, we'vegot pirates aboard." " Pi ru'es aboard this ship ! Who arc they?" " Thc nine Spaniards in the forward .cabin and their ally, the. Señorita." ? I looked at the naval officer in as¬ tonishment, thinking for a moment tluit- he must be out of his head ; but the steady gaze of his clear gray eyes reflected back no fires of insani¬ ty, and Twas forced t<> confess that my suspicions were unfounded. .' How did you gain your informa- j ? ion, and discover that, they are sail¬ ing under false colors:-" .' Ü, I've had my oyes and ears1 open for some time-tbs whole pas- sage in fact-¡uni I. h;\ve listened to their fondly-expressed hopes and deeply ¡aid plans " il Why, confound it, what do you moan ? Did you not tell' me your¬ self that yon con ld «not «peak a wor I of Spanish, and have I not hearcj,'you jabbering away to the girl/ tryriig in . vain to uiak.e yourself understood?" " Yes, sir'; but I was only playing a part, and, thank Heaven, my pre¬ tended ignorance will not be without its good results-. Why, my dear sir, do you suppose that I could be a na¬ tive of New Orleans, and two years on thc Cuban station, and not learn something of the language of the Dons? f can speak it like a native. But we have no time to lose." " Let me hear all you know, and then I can decide upon some plan of action ; for I presume that they have designs upon the vessel." "Not only upon the vessel, but the lives of all hands, and that pret¬ ty faced demon is at the bottom of the whole plot. Perhaps you wonder at the course I pursued in regard to pleading ignorance of the Spanish .language. I wiri explain to you my why and wherefore for so doing. The day she came overr the side, I was .standing in the gang way, and I ex¬ tended my hand to assist her, when I noticed on her finger a gem that gettered and sparkled like the eye of a serpent. "The mounting was so peculiar and odd, that it could not fail to at¬ tract attention, and you must have seen it. Well sir, that ring was once the property of my uncle. He owned a plantation in Jamaica, and started two years ago to visit bis relations in New Orleans, but has never been heard from since. My suspicions were aroused at once, and hence my course of action. While I have been flirting with her, and she pretending to converse with me, she was really perfecting plans with the Spaniards who were generally standing near. " They are all members of the .«ame gang, and a fine lot of jail birds they are too. I have no doubt that they murdered my uncle, and they will murder us, unless we capsize their plans." " What do you propose to do?" " While you were up aloft looking at that strange sail they had a last grand confab, and to-night they are to rise and take the ship, murder all hands and run into Galveston, which is their place ol' rendezvous. tThey have not the slightest idea that we understand a word of their language, and imagine that the vessel will fall an easy prey to their rapacity, which very fact will assist us materially. Their plan is as follows: " Tia-y will all sleep on deck, and two of them are to be stationed at the companion hatch, two are to occupy the hen-coop aft by the man at the oi it, "ami now we must organize, lor defense." I scarcely knew what to flo, for then» were no arms aboard 'he ship. The middy had a pair ol' pistols ami Iii* light dress sword, the only wea¬ pons ne could depend upon, but I managed in communicate with all tho men,' and our plans were poon per¬ lée Vt. Tin; Spaniards only.counted on hav¬ ing om- watch on deck, bu! as J in¬ tended to have all hands, I resolved to lull suspicion by pretending that I apprehended a gale of wind. The cook was instructed to keep his cop¬ pers full of boiling wa*er, while the men walked the duck armed with heavers and belaying pins. The mate was stationed at the wheel with a hatchet concealed in the bosom ol' his shirt, while the middy and myself walked the quarter-deck, each with a pistol in his pocket and the sword near at hand. In *ie deep¬ est anxiety we waited for the crisis to come, as slowly the shades of the tropics fell around us. Occasionally thc low warblings of the Spanish girl could be heard as she hummed some love song, aad the positions of the Spaniards could be easily detected by the small, glowing light that emanated from their cease¬ less cigarettes. The night was calm and beautiful, scarcely a breath of air stirring ex¬ cept what was created by the sails as they flapped idly against the mast. . Suddenly three distinct raps echoed through the ship, and in an instant the whole scene changed as if by- magic. The signal had been given some¬ what earlier than any of us had, ex¬ pected, still we were nov "taken by surprise by any means. Ï had no time or opportunity to at¬ tend to anything for a moment but my own personal safety, for one of the Spaniards rushed at me from a dark corner, and in an instant I saw the blade of his ^.vo.-odged dirk'glit¬ ter i M che moonlight, but it neveriiad the opportunity to drink "my blood, for with a cool, 6teady'aim I covered his head and he fell without a groan. I had now an opportunity to throw a hurrier! glanoe about me, and see how the others, were performingtheir allotted parts. The middy had not used his pistol but depending on his sword, was on the point of giving the c v.p de grace to. a b/vV'ly ruffian who had attacked the gallant youth. Forward, the battle, was raging fiercely, and the loud yells of the combatants rang through the air and across tlis waters without cessation, varied occasionally with shrieks of agony as Sam, the cook, dealt out his ¡¿tock' of boiling water with no spar¬ ing hand- Abe Spaniards were capering about like French dancing masters, and the enraged seamen were following them up with their heavers and capstan- bars, against which the short dirk, the favorite weapon of the Spaniard, did but little goori, They were between two fires, thc sailors in front a,nd the cook in the rear, wîio tormented them dreadfully,1 and nt hist the survivors lied in the wildest confusion and rallied aft. On came the seameh flushed with victory, and with loud huzzas charged ypon tho cowering rascals, when sud¬ denly tho door ol' the cabin flew open, und the Spanish girl made her ap¬ pearance with a pistol in each hand. With a load, passionate cry she Baa--i 'HilliiBnwac-^^ I^IH wwn rushed on deck, ¡md at'the same in¬ stant the sailors drove ^number of pirates overboard. They were whipped àt^ë'very point, and bn4 one remained in active poo- session of his faculties. .'He-was by far the handsomest an'oV.most intel¬ lectual looking of the-wtyole gang. He was closely engaged-'with the midd]', and both appeared oblivious to everything around 'them. We were all more or-less tired from our exertions, and having' full faith iii the naval officer's ability to defend himself, we crowded around to wit¬ ness the combat. I shall never for¬ get the appearance of that .Spaniard, as he crept round and round his ad¬ versary, who with his sword carefully poised watched his opponent like a cat. The Spaniard had his, cape wrap¬ ped around his left arm-, and his long dirk ready for immediate action as he advanced and retreated, watching f.r an opportunity, to sheath it in the bosom of the young officer.. I was about to brain the rascal and termi¬ nate the conflict, when* Twas saved the trouble. The Spaniard had re¬ treated before an impetuous attack of the middv, when tripping over a ringbolt he was thrown, off his guard, and like a flash of lightning the bright blade of middy's sword passed through his body. Scarcely had the officer cleared his weapon of th.« pirate s carcass, when a sc earn was heard, followed by a sharp report, and the .'form of the Spanish woman appeared on the scene with one of her pistols still smoking at the mouth. In our eagerness to see the duel between the officer and the pirate, we had quite forgotten the woman, and she too became absorbed in the con¬ test until it terminated. The middy reeled, staggered for¬ ward, and fell heavily to the deck, but his weapon forced, on by the im¬ petus of the fall, was sheathed to the hilt in the woman's''body, and all hands stood aghast at the terrible scene. The middy was carried below, and while I was examining the wound, the crew secured the Spaniard who nad been stricken down in the beginning of the melee. The middy had received a danger¬ ous wound, but managed to survive his injury, and to-day he ranks among the first in his profession. The woman, together with the dead pirates, was consigned to the deep, .-ind nnv decir"T7ftj?heÄ.rio*VT* --1 '' Don't Want any of ti in Tlu-irs. H. V.

So, placing an egg on the ground, she took a bottle filled with gunpowder and poured a circle around it, then hid till the dog was about to take the fegg, when she would touch it off. This she did twice, but the third time a coal of fire which she did not see, caught the powder and the bottle burst in lier band, burning ker i'ace, neck and hands. Her dress was burned entirely off.

On Monday last a newspaper cor¬ respondent procured a diving suit, with the permission and under the i direction of the wrecker and divers who were at work upon the hull oí the ill-'ated steamer Atlantic, and descended into the interior of- the wreck. He says : The waters were very clear and every object plainly visible around,; the ship where she lay on the reef... It was the first time for the corres¬ pondent to seek information beneath the waters, and the sensation is al¬ most indescribable. The air from above, which is furbished through ¿he rubber tube, comes with a hissing sound, producing a strange feeling. I shudder at the thought of being immersed so deeply, and how slight an accident would insure instant des¬ truction. All around the objects looked weird like; the glasses in the casque magnifying the already bloat- ed lorms into twice their size. The waters are very cold, and a chilly fueling creeps over me at first, but as I proceed it wears away and 1 enter upon the task I have undertaken' with" nSsre nerve than I fancied I possesed. The immense hull lies well down on the port side, which is broken in several places from contact with the reef. Fish were swimming around eagerly devouring the parti¬ cles of food which are to be picked up. Picking my way towards the hull, I catch hold of a rope and scramble up the dock. The place where I have descended is where the ship parted, and a sectional view of the hull and cargo is obtained. The forward hatch is open and I peer dawn tlie hold. Oh ! what a specta¬ cle is presented I The cargo has broken bull:, and-lays heaped up in a confused mass; bodies ot men and women, bruised-and torn, were jamm¬ ed among the cases and crates. It- is a horrible sight to look upon, and the magnifying power of thc orbs through part ol the sunkeu . towards one ot the steerage cabina the one where all fte -women and children wera downed asthev lay in their ÜUII.ÍS.

A ííesaijcíi Account of i'Ss« Fí&lit in Louisiana. NEW ORLEANS, April 16. The recent, civil disorders in Grant Parish, L*., gro ving out ot""the po¬ litical differences between tto? whites and blacks, culminated at Colfax on Sunday, by a desperate battle.« which continued about two hours,, resulting in the defeat of the blacks, of'whom sixty were killed and wourided, while the whites lost but one kdied krui two wounded. A gentleman arriving on the steamer Southwestern,' from the Red River country, states that on Sunday nic^t the boat stopped at the woodpile, near Colfax, wliere a negro, armed to the teeth, requeued the captain' of the boat' to stop at' Colfax and take some wounded white men to Alexandria, which is situated some twenty-five miles further down. On their arrival at Colfax they found about one hundred armed men on the.bank.' The passengers, went on shore, and on reaching the scene of the fight discovered, by the light of lanterns, many dead bodies of colored men riddled with bullets. In the storehouse near the .landing about thirty negro prisoners were huddled together, and a strong guard sur¬ rounded the prison. Several, white men were also wounded. It seems that trouble has been brewing, in Grant Parish du ri og the past «wo weeks. For three or four days pre¬ vious to Sunday the blacks proved too numerous for the whites, and the latter were compelled to seek refuge in thc surrounding country ; and in tho meantime it is stated that thc blacks plundered the town, threw up rude fortifications, and boasted that they wouM drive the whites from the parish. The whites, however, after being driven from the town, we're re¬ inforced from the adjoiniug parishes, and, pb Sunday, led by the sneriff of Grant Parish they advanced in a body toward Colfax. On their arrival there a Aug of truce was sei.« to the blacks asking their surrender, but warning them at the same time if they meant fight to take care .of themselves and their women and children. The ne¬ groes refused to come to terms, whereupon the whites charged the breastworks aud the negroes retreat¬ ed, taking refuge in the court-house, from which they kept up an incessant fire for some time. Finally a friend¬ ly negro wai bribed to fire the court- hou.sa, which was successfully done.

T¿0 Mitty's Samo.
It was about the year 1825 thathad çoiumand of the old brig " HenrMartin." She was one of a regukline of packets running from Ne'Orleans to Havana ; and as a genenthing I used to be crowded with paisengers.But navigation in those days wa
not so pleasant as now, and thé Guof Mexico and the waters aroun
Cuba fairly swarmed with piráticacrafts whose blood-thirsty deeds teirified the whole merchant marineand the United States were forced tkeep a large squadron actively cruising, that fiually had the desireieffect, and in time cleared the waterof the freebooters.
I left Havana with a hold lull o
merchandise, and'in the cabin I hatone passenger, a fine looking youn<man belongiug to Porter's fleet, theistationed in Cuban waters. He wa:
a midshipman, and had been wounded in a cutting out expidition againstthe pirates, and was now bound tcNew Orleans-where he resided-irorder to have an opportunity to full)recover his health.
In the forward saloon were nineSpaniard?, black whiskered, swarthylooking fellows, and one Spanishmaiden about twenty years old, com¬
pleted my passenger list.The young adv occupi
stateroom in the alter <.
must'Confess that her l»esblack and luxuriant, heand melting as a gazel;quettish airs and smiles wi
to í iiiii the hearts of thecompany. Site did nc
have anything to do wi:trymen «in the forward cabin, andwas disposed to treat them with silentcontempt.
I pitied the young lady, for neitherthe middy nor myself could speak aword ot' Spanish ; but. it did not ap¬pear to m^íó rauch di fiorenee to th-young rascal, for he made love to thesenorita every opportunity'that offer¬ed, and she evidently enjoy, d it. Joi¬ner soft musical voice could be heardsinging through the cabin wheneverhe was by her side. She was evi¬dently possessed ot' wealth, at least Ijudged so from the fact of her havingsuch a profusion, of diamonds andprecious stones, and I carno to theconclusion that the middy, despair¬ing of promotion, wae laying an an¬
chor to windward, and I did notblame him lor capturing the prize ifhe could.
But what puzzled me was howthey, got along so well, when he couldnot speak a word of Spanish nor shea word of English ; but as the daysrolled by, the impetuous middy push¬ed the siege, and I had no doubt of£n ultimate triumph,
I was stretching over for the Tor¬tugas bank when one of the crew atwork on the foretopsail yard, report¬ed a sail in sight broad off the beam.Now a sail in those days meant
danger, and nine times out of tenwould turn out to bc a pirate ; so Islung my long glass over my shoulder,and jumped into the fore rigging.
I was up aloft, sometime looking atthe sail, that was glistening in thedistance not much larger than a gullswing.The wind was light, and variable,
the sun dazzled my eyes, and a littleswell rather interfered with, my ob¬servations, and all combined kept meup aloft much longer than I imaginedit. would, and I linally returned todock not much wiser for my trouble.
Descending the after companionway, I entered the cabin with theint'-ntion of turning into my state¬room and enjoying a nap, while wait¬ing l'or a breeze to spring up, but Ihad scarcely composed mysen when Iheard a light, quick footstep crossingthe cabin, and the middy entered myroom without knocking, somewhat to
my astonishment: and I was on t*hepoint of expressing my displeasurewhen I happened to ¿aten his eye,and Î saw in au instant that some¬
thing unusual had happened.His voice dropped to a whisper as
he reached the side of my beith, andI shall never forget the thrill thatshct through my heart as he said,-
'. Cpptiiin, we'vegot pirates aboard."" Pi ru'es aboard this ship ! Who
arc they?"" Thc nine Spaniards in the forward
.cabin and their ally, the. Señorita." ?
I looked at the naval officer in as¬
tonishment, thinking for a momenttluit- he must be out of his head ; butthe steady gaze of his clear grayeyes reflected back no fires of insani¬ty, and Twas forced t<> confess thatmy suspicions were unfounded.
.' How did you gain your informa- j? ion, and discover that, they are sail¬ing under false colors:-"
.' Ü, I've had my oyes and ears1open for some time-tbs whole pas-sage in fact-¡uni I. h;\ve listened totheir fondly-expressed hopes anddeeply ¡aid plans "
il Why, confound it, what do youmoan ? Did you not tell' me your¬self that yon con ld «not «peak a wor Iof Spanish, and have I not hearcj,'youjabbering away to the girl/ tryriig in .
vain to uiak.e yourself understood?"
" Yes, sir'; but I was only playinga part, and, thank Heaven, my pre¬tended ignorance will not be withoutits good results-. Why, my dear sir,do you suppose that I could be a na¬
tive of New Orleans, and two yearson thc Cuban station, and not learnsomething of the language of theDons? f can speak it like a native.But we have no time to lose."
" Let me hear all you know, andthen I can decide upon some plan ofaction ; for I presume that they havedesigns upon the vessel.""Not only upon the vessel, but
the lives of all hands, and that pret¬ty faced demon is at the bottom ofthe whole plot. Perhaps you wonderat the course I pursued in regard topleading ignorance of the Spanish.language. I wiri explain to you mywhy and wherefore for so doing. Theday she came overr the side, I was
.standing in the gang way, and I ex¬
tended my hand to assist her, when Inoticed on her finger a gem thatgettered and sparkled like the eye ofa serpent."The mounting was so peculiar
and odd, that it could not fail to at¬tract attention, and you must haveseen it. Well sir, that ring was oncethe property of my uncle. He owneda plantation in Jamaica, and startedtwo years ago to visit bis relationsin New Orleans, but has never beenheard from since. My suspicionswere aroused at once, and hence mycourse of action. While I have beenflirting with her, and she pretendingto converse with me, she was reallyperfecting plans with the Spaniardswho were generally standing near.
" They are all members of the .«ame
gang, and a fine lot of jail birds theyare too. I have no doubt that theymurdered my uncle, and they willmurder us, unless we capsize theirplans."
" What do you propose to do?"" While you were up aloft looking
at that strange sail they had a lastgrand confab, and to-night they areto rise and take the ship, murder allhands and run into Galveston, whichis their place ol' rendezvous. tTheyhave not the slightest idea that weunderstand a word of their language,and imagine that the vessel will fallan easy prey to their rapacity, whichvery fact will assist us materially.Their plan is as follows:
" Tia-y will all sleep on deck, andtwo of them are to be stationed at thecompanion hatch, two are to occupythe hen-coop aft by the man at the
oi it, "ami now we must organize, lordefense."
I scarcely knew what to flo, forthen» were no arms aboard 'he ship.The middy had a pair ol' pistols amiIii* light dress sword, the only wea¬
pons ne could depend upon, but Imanaged in communicate with all thomen,' and our plans were poon per¬léeVt.
Tin; Spaniards only.counted on hav¬ing om- watch on deck, bu! as J in¬tended to have all hands, I resolvedto lull suspicion by pretending that Iapprehended a gale of wind. Thecook was instructed to keep his cop¬pers full of boiling wa*er, while themen walked the duck armed withheavers and belaying pins.
The mate was stationed at thewheel with a hatchet concealed in thebosom ol' his shirt, while the middyand myself walked the quarter-deck,each with a pistol in his pocket andthe sword near at hand. In *ie deep¬est anxiety we waited for the crisisto come, as slowly the shades of thetropics fell around us.
Occasionally thc low warblings ofthe Spanish girl could be heard asshe hummed some love song, aad thepositions of the Spaniards could beeasily detected by the small, glowinglight that emanated from their cease¬less cigarettes.The night was calm and beautiful,
scarcely a breath of air stirring ex¬cept what was created by the sails as
they flapped idly against the mast.. Suddenly three distinct raps echoedthrough the ship, and in an instantthe whole scene changed as if by-magic.The signal had been given some¬
what earlier than any of us had, ex¬pected, still we were nov "taken bysurprise by any means.
Ï had no time or opportunity to at¬tend to anything for a moment butmy own personal safety, for one ofthe Spaniards rushed at me from adark corner, and in an instant I sawthe blade of his ^.vo.-odged dirk'glit¬ter i M che moonlight, but it neveriiadthe opportunity to drink "my blood,for with a cool, 6teady'aim I coveredhis head and he fell without a groan.
I had now an opportunity to throwa hurrier! glanoe about me, and seehow the others, were performingtheirallotted parts.The middy had not used his pistolbut depending on his sword, was on
the point of giving the c v.p de graceto. a b/vV'ly ruffian who had attackedthe gallant youth.
Forward, the battle, was ragingfiercely, and the loud yells of thecombatants rang through the air andacross tlis waters without cessation,varied occasionally with shrieks ofagony as Sam, the cook, dealt out his¡¿tock' of boiling water with no spar¬ing hand-
Abe Spaniards were capering aboutlike French dancing masters, and theenraged seamen were following themup with their heavers and capstan-bars, against which the short dirk,the favorite weapon of the Spaniard,did but little goori,They were between two fires, thc
sailors in front a,nd the cook in therear, wîio tormented them dreadfully,1and nt hist the survivors lied in thewildest confusion and rallied aft.On came the seameh flushed with
victory, and with loud huzzas chargedypon tho cowering rascals, when sud¬denly tho door ol' the cabin flew open,und the Spanish girl made her ap¬pearance with a pistol in each hand.With a load, passionate cry she
Baa--i 'HilliiBnwac-^^ I^IH wwn
rushed on deck, ¡md at'the same in¬stant the sailors drove ^number ofpirates overboard.They were whipped àt^ë'very point,
and bn4 one remained in active poo-session of his faculties. .'He-was byfar the handsomest an'oV.most intel¬lectual looking of the-wtyole gang.He was closely engaged-'with the
midd]', and both appeared obliviousto everything around 'them. Wewere all more or-less tired from our
exertions, and having' full faith iiithe naval officer's ability to defendhimself, we crowded around to wit¬ness the combat. I shall never for¬get the appearance of that .Spaniard,as he crept round and round his ad¬versary, who with his sword carefullypoised watched his opponent like acat.The Spaniard had his, cape wrap¬
ped around his left arm-, and his longdirk ready for immediate action ashe advanced and retreated, watchingf.r an opportunity, to sheath it in thebosom of the young officer.. I wasabout to brain the rascal and termi¬nate the conflict, when* Twas savedthe trouble. The Spaniard had re¬treated before an impetuous attack ofthe middv, when tripping over a
ringbolt he was thrown, off his guard,and like a flash of lightning the brightblade of middy's sword passed throughhis body.
Scarcely had the officer cleared hisweapon of th.« pirate s carcass, whena sc earn was heard, followed by a
sharp report, and the .'form of theSpanish woman appeared on the scenewith one of her pistols still smokingat the mouth.
In our eagerness to see the duelbetween the officer and the pirate, wehad quite forgotten the woman, andshe too became absorbed in the con¬test until it terminated.The middy reeled, staggered for¬
ward, and fell heavily to the deck,but his weapon forced, on by the im¬petus of the fall, was sheathed to thehilt in the woman's''body, and allhands stood aghast at the terriblescene.The middy was carried below, and
while I was examining the wound, thecrew secured the Spaniard who nadbeen stricken down in the beginningof the melee.The middy had received a danger¬
ous wound, but managed to survivehis injury, and to-day he ranks amongthe first in his profession.The woman, together with the dead
pirates, was consigned to the deep,.-ind nnv decir"T7ftj?heÄ.rio*VT* --1 ''

Down Among the Dead.On Monday last a newspaper cor¬
respondent procured a diving suit,with the permission and under the
i direction of the wrecker and diverswho were at work upon the hull oíthe ill-'ated steamer Atlantic, anddescended into the interior of- thewreck. He says :
The waters were very clear andevery object plainly visible around,;the ship where she lay on the reef...It was the first time for the corres¬
pondent to seek information beneaththe waters, and the sensation is al¬most indescribable. The air fromabove, which is furbished through¿he rubber tube, comes with a hissingsound, producing a strange feeling.I shudder at the thought of beingimmersed so deeply, and how slightan accident would insure instant des¬truction. All around the objectslooked weird like; the glasses in thecasque magnifying the already bloat-ed lorms into twice their size. Thewaters are very cold, and a chillyfueling creeps over me at first, but asI proceed it wears away and 1 enterupon the task I have undertaken'with" nSsre nerve than I fancied Ipossesed. The immense hull lieswell down on the port side, which isbroken in several places from contactwith the reef. Fish were swimmingaround eagerly devouring the parti¬cles of food which are to be pickedup. Picking my way towards thehull, I catch hold of a rope andscramble up the dock. The placewhere I have descended is where theship parted, and a sectional view ofthe hull and cargo is obtained. Theforward hatch is open and I peerdawn tlie hold. Oh ! what a specta¬cle is presented I The cargo hasbroken bull:, and-lays heaped up ina confused mass; bodies ot men andwomen, bruised-and torn, were jamm¬ed among the cases and crates.

A ííesaijcíi Account of i'Ss« Fí&litin Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, April 16.The recent, civil disorders in Grant
Parish, L*., gro ving out ot""the po¬litical differences between tto? whitesand blacks, culminated at Colfax on
Sunday, by a desperate battle.« whichcontinued about two hours,, resultingin the defeat of the blacks, of'whomsixty were killed and wourided, whilethe whites lost but one kdied kruitwo wounded. A gentleman arrivingon the steamer Southwestern,' fromthe Red River country, states that on
Sunday nic^t the boat stopped atthe woodpile, near Colfax, wliere a
negro, armed to the teeth, requeuedthe captain' of the boat' to stop at'Colfax and take some wounded whitemen to Alexandria, which is situatedsome twenty-five miles further down.On their arrival at Colfax they foundabout one hundred armed men on
the.bank.' The passengers, went on
shore, and on reaching the scene ofthe fight discovered, by the light oflanterns, many dead bodies ofcoloredmen riddled with bullets. In thestorehouse near the .landing aboutthirty negro prisoners were huddledtogether, and a strong guard sur¬rounded the prison. Several, whitemen were also wounded. It seemsthat trouble has been brewing, inGrant Parish du ri og the past «woweeks. For three or four days pre¬vious to Sunday the blacks provedtoo numerous for the whites, and thelatter were compelled to seek refugein thc surrounding country ; and intho meantime it is stated that thcblacks plundered the town, threw uprude fortifications, and boasted thatthey wouM drive the whites from theparish. The whites, however, afterbeing driven from the town, we're re¬inforced from the adjoiniug parishes,and, pb Sunday, led by the sneriff ofGrant Parish they advanced in a bodytoward Colfax. On their arrival therea Aug of truce was sei.« to the blacksasking their surrender, but warningthem at the same time if they meantfight to take care .of themselves andtheir women and children. The ne¬
groes refused to come to terms,whereupon the whites charged thebreastworks aud the negroes retreat¬ed, taking refuge in the court-house,from which they kept up an incessantfire for some time. Finally a friend¬ly negro wai bribed to fire the court-hou.sa, which was successfully done.Alter a vain attempt to extinguishthe fl .»iß« r\tn ii .-i- ¡lisnlayed a
