Man being emphatically a car. nivorons animal, the sight of blood will invariably develope his brutal propensities, and I suppose he cannot be blamed if he gets into the “ ring" for his vampire disposition can be controlled only by forte. From this eohsidetatlon I could not trat excuse a lawless multitude when I discovered them,‘pell mefl, railing in the sand, shouting theirbravos, scratch* iqg, gouging, kicking and cuffing,belching oaths, and issnming various attitudes alikb disgraceful to their species as dishonoring to their Creator. Bat at length the tumhh was quelled. And yet, I think it an exaggeration to say that the flame was extin guished, for from what I could gather, I suppose ft would be moire proper to say that the fire had burned out; there being no more combustible matter. For as the Sheriff with his aids came up and Cried out in their stentorian voices, “I ’rnand de peace,I ’maud do peace,” the fuiy of the multitude knew no bounds at this insalt to the majesty of Uie pcople “What! interrupt ns in onr friendly disputes?— Are you not the servants of the people? and ain't we the People f Did’nt we elect yon, you ongrato- ful scoundrels? Did’nt we. put you in office, yon varmints!” For this gracious offence to the majesty of the people—the sovereign people,—an Insult given by their own servants could not foil to arouse the in* dignation of the Peons, who could not refrain from giving the officers of the court “a real genutcine, out and out flogging,” or in other words, “ a small touch of thunder and lightning.” This last out break of popular feeling now subsiding, tho boys were ready for “ all sorts of the most killingest fun’ that human ingenuity could devise. But before proceeding to relato anything relative to this part of my story, it becomes necessary to refer back to the commencement of tho chapter; or in other words, to begin where the fight began, as in the excited state of my feelings I have been borne along by a current of thoughts u little foreign from the characters I had intended to depict—not to mince matters it is evident that I have travelled ahead of my tale, and it becomes necessary that we should retrace onr steps a little to toko a glance at the lead ers of the melee. These, as I was then informed, wore two intimate friends, who had got into a fight for reasons which they knew nothing about; probably some imaginary insalt, for as they could not remember why tbejr had fought, or who they were contending against, it was deemed advisable that as they had got a great many fellows into a scrape on their individual ac counts, that all hands should be treatqd at their ex pense. To this of course the two friends readily agreed, and the gallon jug was handed from mouth to mouth, until the whole crowd bad taken' enough to put them all in a good humor again. Sam Stir* ring was the very opposite of hie friend Billy Bolan in figure, yet they were very much alike in disposi tion, especially in a amt of inmate propensity for getting drunk whenever occasion 'required; and of course they had no scruples about getting into a fight about nothing. And yet it could not be said of these two worthies that they were really quarrel- tome, for upon ordinary occasions, there were no bettor, or more peaceable follows flan'Sam Stirring and Billy Bohn. The greatest difficulty they had to contend against was their excitable, “thunder and lightning,” “powder blowing up” natures.— For, as upon the present occasion, they frequently engaged in broils from the conviction' flat they had boys, of creation”-—the very identical boys that could “out run, outjompv out sing, out whistle, out ent,oatdo anything npoa the whole- face of tbs youth.” ' In this “ ring" Billy Bolan and Sam Stir ring acted but a very feeble part, inasmuch as they bad been completely?* used op” by .repeated draughts of liquor, qoafibd to each other by. way of making up the dispute, “ as it wouM’nt do for friends ever to reams srit S-r» ,CMerits. wish'to ball, the attention of (ho Board to thb f n * so thin that so. .

Let him alone, uncle Billy, I can whip a cow-pen full of sich windy, wishy, washy, cMogated l'ellers as that ’ar.” This was the substance of a conversation that jossed between two fellows who had rushed along w ith a crowd to sec a fight that had occurred just outride of the court house. As a muter of course, such interesting conversation os that we liavo des- fcrilied above could not fail to produce some sort of an effect. It was no matter of surprise, therefore, to me, when in a moment after the parlies were rolled into a heap upon the ground, tearing each others clothes, gouging eyes, and in many other ways disfiguring each other, and if possible, disgrac ing themselves to the level of the brute. Eveiy spirit, it is said, begets its own likeness. If this be true, and I have no doubt pf it, as my own observation made upon a hundred or more cases has fully satisfied me that it is ah axiom, then we need rat ft el surprised or disappointed when we discover a pugnacious spirit suddenly aroused in an appa rently peaceful, inofiensiyc man; for even the pol troon, it is raid, will fight like a Trojan when hem- id into a corner by his adversaries. But when a parcel of men laboring under any excitement, wheth er artificial from the effects of stimulating drink, or '■row those hateful passions which tend to lower the rtandard of humanity, it needs scarcely an.cllbrt to bring about a simultaneous explosion of the whole ma-i*. And terrible is the havoc done to whole shirts, bright eyes and suspender buttons when *6 rad a catastrophe occurs! A fight among a crowd of “war horses, snapping turtles," and “alligators,” turn the sumo effect upon the mass as the electric spark upon each link of the chain that has served as its conductor. Every atom feels the influence of the excitement almost *t the identical moment:— Every man becomes a conductor to convoy the im pression to hi* next neighbor, and a general “ blow out” is the consequence. Now, the chain can no more tcli.whiroeo or how it has been made a medium of eommunieatiea for tho all pervading fluid than tho fighting croud can give a reason for their ehul- lition of temper. 'They go into a fight without pro vocation, kick up a row and crack each others I received some insult to their dignity which would skulls without an evidence of any assignable cause, other flam an inherent love for a rumpus, or Os Pat would express it, “a daccnt relish' of the shillalch before breakfast.” • This is only human niture, however. A look is often sufficient, even ia onr calmer moments, to bring about hostilities; or at least to engender a spirit of hatred, inimical to our pice, subversive of all rational ciyoymcnt, and detrimental tothooe fioer while each pointed significantly at-the same-mo- to tho other's muhtehance.
