Prosi a paper on “Coursing," we shall lake
the better pari ofn pleasant and charactcris
tic letter of Sir Walter Scott addressed to
the editor of tho Courser's Manual, in reply
lo a request for a contribution, and inclosing
a copy of an ancient ballad on the subject!
“Dear Sir—l have loved the sport of cours
ing so well, and pursued it so kueoly for se
' veral years, that I would with pluasnn have
done any thing in my power to add to your
collection on the subject; but I have long laid
a„’dc |he amusement, and still longer re
nounced tins nodical pen, which ought to
have celebrated it; MIJ 1 could on'y scud
you the laments of an old liliti, “ lu * l ' 1< ; ® ,,u ‘
iiiaraliuii of thn number of horses aim
which have buert long laid under the sod. I I
cannot indeed complain of the o’d huntsman
that—
No ono now, '

And 1 the sole survivor. v
hut I have exchanged my whig (or a walking 1
slick, my smart hack lias dwindled into a c
Holland ahclty, ami my two brace of grey 1
bounds into n pair of terriers, instead of 1
entering on sneh melancholy topics I judge '
it belter lo send yon an Elegy and iUnny I
Heck, an old Scottish poem of very consider- 1
able merit in the eyes of those who under- 1
■land the dialect. * • *
“Tho elegy itself turns upon a circum
stance which, when 1 kept greyhounds, 1 felt
a considerable alloy to the spurt; I mean, fhu •
necessity of despatching the instilments and i
partakers of our amusement, when they begin
lo make up, by cunning, for the deficiency of t
youthful vigour. A greyhound is often terms (
ed an inferior species of tho canine race, in ,
point of sagacity, and in the eye of an accotn- ,
' (dished sportsman it is desirable they should ,
be so, since they aro valued for their spirit,
not their address. Accordingly, they are sel
dom admitted lo the rank of personal favor-,
iles. I have had such greyhounds, however,
and they possessed as large a ehuru ol intel
ligence, attachment, and sag icity as any oth
er species of dog that 1 ever saw. in such
cases it becomes dit’icult or impossible to ex
ecute the doom upon the antiquated grey
hound, so coolly recommended by Dame Ju-
I ana Berners.—
And when ho conic# to that jure,
Have him to the tinmen',
Tor the best whelp over hitch had
At nine year# is full bud.
Modern sportsmen anticipate the doom by
three years at least.
“I cannot help adding to tho‘Last Words
of Bonny Heck,’ a sporting anecdote, said lo
have happened in Fife, and not far from |l ■
residence of that famous greyhound, wn , !
may serve lo show in what regard the rules ol
fair play between hound and hare are hold by
Scottish sportsmen. Tticre was a coursing
club, once upon a lime, which met at Bal
chr.aty, in the province, or, as it is p ipnlarly
called, the kingdom of Fife. The members
wcio elderly social men, whom a very moder
ate allowance of sport served as an miroduci
lion to a hearty dinner and jolly evening. Now
they had her scat on tho ground where they
Usually met a largo stout hare, who seemed
made on purpose lo entertain these moderate
sportsmen. Sue usually gave the amusement
of three or four turns us soon us she was pul
up—a sure sign of u strong hare, when prac
tised by any beyond the ago of a leveret—she
then stretched out in great style, and alter af
fording the gentlemen an easy canter ufa i
mile or two, threw out the dogs, by passing
through a particular gap in the enclosure
This sport the same Imre gave to the same
party lor one or two seasons, audit was just
enough to afford the worthy members of the
club a siitlicicnt reason to bo alleged to their
wives or others, whom it might concern,
for passing the day in the public house. —
At length a fellow who attended tho hunt,
nefariously thrust his plain, or great coat, in
to the gup I mentioned, an 1 poor puss, her
retreat being thus cut off, was, in the langu
age of Dcsdemotif ,‘basely—basely inurdcicd.
’ The sport of the Balchrinty club seemed to
cm) with tlu« famous hare. Tlicy cither
found no hares, or such as afforded u halloo
nml a squeak, or finally, as gave linen further
r ms than they had pi on sure in fol owing. The
spirit nit lie meeting died away, am) at length
it was altogether given up.
Thu publican was, of conr«e,the party moat
especially aU'ecled by the discontinuance of
the dub, mid regarued, it may be supposed,
wit|j nocomplacency, the person who had
prevented the hare from escaping, and even
Ins inemorv. One day n gentleinan asked
him what was become ol'mich a i.ne, naming
the ohnoMoua individual. ‘lie is dead sir.’

ACCIDENT ON THE RAIL ROAD.
Tho Charleston Courier of yesterday, says:
“We regret to learn that an accident, of a serious
nature, though fortunately, not affecting the lives
or limbs of persons, occurred on the Rail Road on
Monday evening last. When the downward
train of cars arrived within a mile of Woodstock,
the Locomotive ran off the road, and consequent
ly drew alter it the tender, baggage, and several
of tho freight cars, also s car containing several
race horses, belonging to Col. Hampton and
others. A number of the curs were shattered to
atoms from the concussion, and several of the
horses injured—one or two of thorn, it is reported,
; so badly as to lead to the belief that they will be
incapacitated from again appearing on the turf:
A servant was in the car with the horses, at
j 'ho time the accident occurred, but escaped with
little nr no injury, Tho horses were taken from
| the rail road, and ai rived here yesterday fore-!
noon. The passengers were brought down, be. j

Locomotive that was despatched fioin town to
their assistance, ws soon as information of the i
occurrence was received. Capi. J. C. Kcr, the 1
proprietor id \\ oodstoek, hastened an express ]
instantly to town, to give notice of tho misfor- I
lunc, and, with his usual uibanily and prompt}. I
tudo, afforded every assistance in his power.
It is particularly unfortunate that this circum
stance should have taken place at this period, as 1
we fear it may affect, somewhat, the sports of
the Turf during the coming week. We hope,
however, that none >1 Col. Hampton’s favorite j
nags have sustained such damage as to prevent !
his engaging in the contests fur the various pur
ses to bo tun for. Should he not participate in

CHEAT HURRICANE AT VERA CRUZ.
By the arrival of the barque Potomac,Captain
Barr, in 22 days from Vera Cruz, we learn that
a violent storm, (usually called a northerJ oc
curred at that place on the iiyd December,which
drove the American brig Ariel, English hrig
Milantha, Mexican man of war luig Liberator,
Mexican schooner Mexico, and French ship
Francis, nil from their anchors, on shore, making
them complete wrecks. The latter vessel was
condemned and sold. Other vessels were injured,
more or less. The Arid lost Iwo ofhc'rcrew.—
The Potomac was the only vessel that rode nut
the gale. C.q :.,in Harr reports that no material
damage was done to the thy.
The message of the President of the United
States had produced quite a sensation at Vera
Cruz. The Mexican Consul chartered a vessel
to carry the message fioin New Orleans to Tam
pico. On its reception, the Spaniards were out
rageous, and clamored for war. Violent dis
putes cuiued between portion of the people, and
every term of reproach was exhausted in gi'ing
vent to their indignation; The speech of Presi
dent Busla mente, which followed spun after was,
however, of a moderate tone, considering the vi
olent feelings of the people, {we noted in our
publication yesterday that portion of the speech
directed to this country.) The interior p! Mexi
co is now tranquil, hut the seed ul discord is
planted in the breasts of the plcople. They
want war. An expedition is fitting out against
Texas, consisting of a ship, brig and several
smaller vessels, and it is believed the government
will prosecute a war against Texas with all the
energy its limited means will allow”.
Respecting Santa Ana, wo learn, by Captain
Barr, that ho remains inactive, doing nothing to
attract attention.
We have passed through two wars, With slave
population as great in proportion to the whites as
it Is now, without the slightest detriment from it;
and ifever the experiment shall be made again,
it will bo found that out slaves will be to us a
soutco of strength, instead of weakness.
Uichmond Whig.
The first of these wars was the Revolutionary
War, —and will die Whig be so good as to rec
ollect, that in that war, Georgia, South Carolina,
mid the greater part of .North Carolina, were con
quered and subdued by the British arms, and
were only recovered by a General, Soldiers, and
supplies furnished by the Northern States'! Vir
ginia herself was completely overrun, her c ipilal
burnt, and had she been dependant on her own
resources alone, she would have yielded, almost
without a struggle, to the arms of Cornwallis.—
Bo it known to the Whig, that the single slate
of Massachusetts furnished more soldiers to the
revolutionary army, than all tho Southern stales
put together. This appears from authentic doc
j uments.
The second war alluded to by tho Whig was
the late war with Great Britain. Does the Whig
recollect that, during the late war, a little heap of
British troops landed in the Chesapeake rjjareh-
I ed across the country, and plundered and burnt
J the city of Washington and tho towns adjacent,
[ almost without the show of opposition! And
! does the Whig suppose that any such thing as
J that could have happened in any of the free
j Stales! —Hasten .It/ns.
J 'i'ho above from (he Jtoslon Atlas is a speci
men of a tone, towards tho South, that is very
common in the Northern presses. In exposing,
as wo shall do, the falehood and abserdity of its
assertions, we by no means wish to be under
stood as denying that tho citizens of she North
ern Slates are brave people, and have done their
duly in the wars in which the country has been
engaged. They are perfectly welcome to mag
niiy’ ’•keir achievements, as much as they please,
audio out I”' asit if they think proper, all Ho
mer’s hctocs. We w.*.* never interrupt them as
long as they keep within their J’ V|l limits. Wo
osly object to their building up thoir
exploits at the expense of the South.
The South, they say, have been overrun and
conquered, while the North has not. Very true,
hut it seems to us to require no vastly profound
philosophy to discover, for this fact, a cause even
stronger than the volour of the inhabitants of
New England. Their country is not worth in
vading.
(By the bye, we should like lobe informed
by the Atlas whether it is for the purpose of in
creasing our attachment to the Union, that we
ate thus reminded, that in wats with foreign
powers the South is attacked and plundered,
while tho North is unmolesed! Especially as
our wars are entered into for the benefit ofNi rlh
ern commerce.)
“Virginia anil the Carolina* wore rescued by
Northern troops and a Northern general.”
The South, generous and kind hearted, has al
ways been so warmly disposed to love the ser
vices ol General Greene, that it has never gain
sayed any exaggeration of them, however enor
mous. Under the same feeling, it has ollen con
i' seined to he accounted a debtor to iho North for
| kindnesses, either never conferred, or repaid' ten
limes over or cancelled, long ago, by their nation
a I frauds and hostility against u>. * Bui,let it lie
that the North gave us Greene. Who gave
[ them Washington! Under what commanders
, were the best and most succois'iil battles fongn,
that the Revolution witnessed! Under Gates'
j Morgan, Campbell. What town of theirs was
j ever so desperately defended as Charleston!
j I r ora v\ hat lorlre.-s ol theirs was the enemy oven
I more gallantly driven hack, than liom Fort Moul
| trie! What bolter or more ciiicient command
| ers were seen, in the whole war, than Marion,
Lee, and Samler l
“The si ogle State of Massachusetts furnished
more soldiers to the revolutionary aimiog, ihair
| all the Southern Slates put together. This ap-
I pears from authentieJdocumcnU.
The population of Massachusetts was about
350,(1(’0 —men, women ami children. This I
would give 30,000 per.-ons able to bear arms.
The population of Maryland, Virginia, the Caro
linas, and Georgia, was about {1)00 000—or 130,
000 soldiers. 'l'ho war was more severe in this
Slate than in any other, and continued twice as
long os it did in Massachusetts. Almost every
man, I in, was enabled, by the slave population
to take the field. Many portions of Massachu
setts were never approached by the enemy; but
in South Carolina there is scarcely a fi-|J t i ]at
was not moistened, or a river that did not run
mingling, with the blood of her sons.
1 tic authentic documents no doubt thov are
the pension rolls. It is true. Ural for one revolu
tionary pensioner on this fide of the Potomac,
there are ten on the other—that the North has
already teceived considerably more than twenty-,
ty millions of dollars in that way. This fact,
however, mer ly shows the difference of charac
ter between the inhabitants of the two regions.
The Southern man does his ditty io° his
country—defends his wife, his children,
and tin liberty—pour* forth his blood like
water —and is satisfied with such reward |
as liia conscience and his tied may bestow. |
It does not occur to him that he is entitled to u
I ondon for doing that which he would have been
a coward and a traitor not to have done. Hut
the Yankee comes forward with a pair of scales
1 n his hand , we ghs every d op he has lost, at d
calculates how much money it cotres to. W •
have no doubt but that every particle of North
ern bloodshed In the war of the Revolution, has
been paid for by more than its weigh*, in gold.
Again: the fur gteater proportion of Northern
than of Southern persons on the revolutionary
pension list, may he accounted for by another ciif
ference o‘ character between the two people. In
South Carolina, when a man (even though he
ho served under Greene or Morgan) reaches the
age of ninety or a hundred years, or thereabouts,
