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.

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.

His lordship ih said to bo one of the finest young moo among the aristocracy. Lord Elphlnslone was a Lord of tlie Bed charnbcr to the late K ng, who was very fond of him.

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.

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, he dies, and there’s an end of him. Hut the New England pensioners never die. Wo have no doubt but there will bo Revolutionary Patriots re ceiving pensions in Massachusetts a hundred years hence.— Columbia Tellescupe. A new military machine, the invention of -Mr. Stauhel, is much talked of in France.
