Tile Bitrutt, malting use, as an interpreter, of a French geniletnan u Iio chanc ed to come up, demanded of Senor Otero if lie were tile author of an article published on llie 24th. entitled. •£/ Diario de /os Debates en la Cuestion del Bano de las Delictus.’ Senor Oteio having replied tu hint tlmt lie shuuld make inquiry at me printing office, the Baron repeated his demand, lo which Senor Otero replied that he did not rccog. mve in tiie interrogator tho right to put such a question lo hint, and that, besides, lie was nut dis- 4 hat in June, 180i, posed to reply. Thereupon, Baron de Cyprey spat in the face ol Senor Otero, and instantly a person al conflict ensued, in w hich Senor Otero, being without arms, used his lists, and his adversary a cane which lie carried. The noise of the fight naturally attracted quite a number of persons, who al once interposed. M. de Cyprey, before rctir- , mg, declared In Senor Otero llial he was at tile ; latter's disposition if tie desireu t satisfaction "Such is tiie French version of the affair; nor ■Iocs tiie Courtier hesitate tu condemn tiie haste of M. de Cyprey : it pleads for iiim, that he regarded Senor Otero’s reply as a subterfuge unworthy of a man of honor—as an act of cowardice which the impulse of Hie moment induced him lo chastise by tile grossest indignity. The Siglo of tiie following j day gives the particulars which led to the affray in ! almost the same words, but stales that the parties | had frequently before met after the article had ap. j peared, and on noocca-inn had the Baron directed j a word nr it look to Senor Otero.

A more common saying, or one in more general use, lias never been got up. We hear it in Maine and in Georgia, in .Mart land and Arkan. sas ; il is in the mouth of old and young, the gravo and ti»e gay—iu short, “my name is Hanes 1 * en. joys :» popularity which no other cant phrase has ever attained. Having said this much of the re* putution of tne phrase be it our next core to give its origin. Some forty-five years since, a gentleman by the name of Hanes was travelling on horseback in the vicinry of Mr. Jefferson’s residence iu Virginia. Purty spirit was running extremely high in those days. Sir* Jefferson was president, and Mr. Uni es was a rank federalist, and as a mutter of course, a bitter opponent to the then existing administra tion and its head. He was not acquainted with Mr. Jctlcrbon, and accidents liv coming up with that gentleman, also travelling on horseback, his party zeal soon led him into a conversation upon • the uii absorbing topic. In the course of the con- ■ versution, Hanes look particular pains to abuse • Mr. Jefferson, calling him all sons of hard names, run down every measure of iiis administration, • poked the uon-intercourse act at him as most outra. geous and ruinous, ridiculing his gun boat system . *s preposterous and nonsensical—opposed his pur* • chase of Louisiana as a wild scheme—tu slant, look every leading feature of the day, descanted on them and their originator, w iih the greatest bit. terness. Mr. JelTersou ail the while said 1 it;le. There was no such thing as getting away fiorn his very particu ar friend, and he did no*, exactly feel : at liberty to combat his arguments. Tiiey finally arrived in front of Mr. Jefferson's residence, Hanes of course not acquainted with ihe fact. Notwithstanding lie had been viliified nud abused “tike a pick-pocket,” to use the oi l raying. Mr. Jefferson still, with the true Virginia no>pnnlily and politeness, invited his travelling companion to adghtand partake of some refresh ments. Hanes was about getting fiom his horse, when it occured lo him that he should ask his coin- punion’s name. •Jefferson.* snid the president blandly. •Wlut! Thomas Jefferson ? •Yes sir, Thomas Jefferson.1 ‘President 'Thomas Jefferson V continued the astonished federalist. •The same,’ rejoined Mr. Jrfferson. •V* i ..m^ name is llar.es” and pulling spur* to his horse tie was out of hearing instantly. 1 iii<, we are informed, w as the origin of the phrase.* The Governor’s Vote,— We publish in another column, says the Savannah Republican, Hie official vote f»r Governor at the recent election, an have added up the majorities in the several Congre&si a- n Di- ricts of the State, by which il wi.lbe s«cn i.e Wing* have carried six and the Heinecrais i: j iv.nain'.iig two, as follows ; Craw ford.
