Dear Pan
in arrived here safe and sound, arter a long

The first thiug* l did arterthe sloop was hauled
up to the wharf at Prick Slip, was to go down to
the stores about Fultou market and peddle otf the
Cider brandy aad garden sarcc. Captain Doth
Tittle wanted to go with me. but yon sent me down
here os a sort of a supercargo, anl 1 warm
likely to let him stick his nose ih:o my bisnesa.

■ Savannah, Nov. 7,
w a Resolution in*CoUnoil this day;
tho Mayor 4s directed to issuo his Proclamation,
sotting apart Thursday, the 14tli inst., na a day of
public Thanksgiving to Almighty Hod, for the
blessings enjoyed by thn citizens of Savannah,
duritig tho past season.
Now, therefore,!, Robert M; Charlton, Mayor
of the City of Savannah and Hamlets thereof, do
hereby issuo tills my Proclamation, setting apart
said day for such purpo ses, ami requestin g its ob-
servuttreby the Reverend Clorgy and citizens
generally.
(L. S.) ROOT. M. CHARLTON,
Mayor,
Attost, M. Mrr.ns. c. c.
By gracious, if it'did’nt make me stare to see the
pnrty gals and the handsome married women a
walking up and down the market among the heaps
of beats and cabbages. They looked around
mighty knowing, and l rather guess l got my share
of attention,'bat somehow it made me feel kinder
streaked to have them .a looking at me so steady,
for I hadn’t nothing on but my every day clothes;
besides the stock that inarm tifcide me, out of her
old bombasine petticoat, propped up my chin
so that 1 couldn’t a stooped to look into n woman's
fnce if I'd a wanted to ever so much. I do be
lieve mann and Judy White must a put mote
than a peck of tatur starch into the lining. lt,s
nlHired stiff, flint’s a fact.
Wul, I sold out the lading Uyinrty good advan
tage, considering the times. T en I wen down
to the sloop, and slicked upinmy Sunday clodies,
and started off full chisel to go and see cousin
John Bebee. They told me that he kept store
away down Pearl street, ecn-a-inost to thejlBattery;
so I went on as fast as I could get along! through
tho boxes and barrels that lay in the street, till 1
cauie to a great high brick store that had cousin
John’s name over the door. It seems that John had ut the City Hotel; and so sez Cousin Debee,
has gone into partnership with a Mr. Co. tor that sez he—
fellers name is on the sign nrter hisen as large as "Here, Mr. Slick, is the number of our hones
life. Iknewthathe and John Wheeler wont in* j —supposing you go along ond tell Mrs. Behee
to company together, but 1 suppose they wunied 1 that I’ll be home as soon ns I can git through a
more chink than either on em cold raise, and so 1 little bisnesa—she won’t in ike a stranger of yon.”
j "I rutlicr guess she won’t,” sez I, a taking the
; little piece of paper which he’d hen u writin on;
watch, ali gold in-ode mi l out, and. sez he, "Come
Mr. Slick, it’s -about four o’clock—go up and
take a fa nilv dinner with us.” I ruther guess
engnged this Mr. Co. to help em along.
f swan if warm enough to make a feller dry
to see the hogsheads of rum ond molosees, mid
the heaps often boxes and sugar barrels, piled up
iusulu file store; it looked like living,l can tell you.
I went through clear to the other end of the store,
for they told me tliut cousin John was in the
counting room away back there* Wul, I got to
the counting room at last, and a handsome lit.'e
room it was, all carpeted aud fixed out like some
of our best rooms in Connecticut. I haint seen so
purty a store scarce ever. Johu wasn’t there,bat
I could see that Iip hadn’t got over ull his old (ricks,
for a lot ofchesuut shells was trod down round
l'ic stove, and there wasn't a few empty botdes
standing round under the table and h ick of the
desks. It was enough to turn one’s stomach to
look at the spit box, it was more than half filled
up with pieces ofsegars, and eends of tobacco,
that looked as if they had been chawed over a doz
en times or more. I don’t see where cousin John
got that trick ofsinoking and chewing, 1 defy any
body to say he learned it in old Connecticut.
They ueedn’t talk to us about the Yankees, for
these Yorkers beat us all hollar in them tilings;
I haint forgot the time when John would a turned
up his nose at u long nine, as if it had a been pi-
son, but now he’s sot himself up fora gentleman
there is no kno.viug what he hamt token to.
There was a chap standing by one of the desks,
with the edge of his dickey turned over his stock,
—like nn old-fashioned baby’s bib, put on wrong
side afore,—and with his hair curled and frizzled
up like a gnl’a. I knew in a minute tint this fel
ler conld’nt be cousin John, 'so I went up to him
and sez I ;—
*‘l?riend, can you tell when Mr. Behee ’ill he
in?” The chap took a watch out of his vest pock
et about as big as a ninepence and sez he—
* I don't know positively, but I spose in the
course of an hour or so. It’s about time for the
bank to clou#.”
“Wal,” «ez I, "I spose I may os well wait for
him as l stint in much of a huny jist how.” So
I sot down in a chair and arter (listing my sole
leather ontor the top of the stove, I began to
scrape ac quaintance with the chop as I went a-
long. *
"Tough times vyith you merchants, now aint
f she docs, th *re must a hen an almighty change
in her since we tired to go to singing shool ut up-
p e'aees together."
Joan looked kin 1 a skee.y towards the stran
ger, and bcztm to fidiet about; so 1 told him 1
could find the way, and unde myself scarce in less
than uo time—for I thought us like ns not the fel
ler cam to git him4o pul his name to a note, or
so iiediihg of that sort; so I thought I'd give him
a ciiance to say no. if he wanted to.
Ly grac.oits! Pur I'd given nqn irt of soap if
you and inarm could a been with mein Broadway
as I went along. I couldn’t help from stopping
eeii-a-inost every othei minute to look into the
winders.
Some of them was chuck full of watches and
ear-rings, and silver spoons spread all out like a
fin, and lot* on loLsoflinxer rings all stuck over
a piece of hlack cloth to make em shine. I’ll he
darned ifi didn't make my eyes ache us if I'd ben
snow blind u week only jist to look at ’em, as I
went along! I .-topped into oue store jist by the
Park, nnd bought a silver thimble for inarm, and
it was as mncli as I could do to keep from going
in'o one of the stores where I saw such a heap of
calicos, to git her a new gown too. But I can’t
begin to write more than a priming of what a fel
ler m ly see as he goes up Broadway. It fairly
made tne ashamed of our horses, old Polly iu par
ticular, when I saw the handsome critters that the
niggers drive about them coaches with here. I toil
you what, they in *ke a glistening and shinimr
when they go through the streets chuck full of
gals all in their feathers and hiirbulow*! Toni
Broadway is a little le igthy, and no mistake! I
believe I footed it more than two miles on them
tanrnl hard stun walks,und afore 1 got to Bleecker
street, where cousin Behee lives, 1 thought my
feet would a blistered.
Wal, arter all, I thought I never should a got
into the house when I did git to it. It was a ul-
firedhigh. and a heap of st.im -tops went up to the
■door, with a kind of picket fence made out of iron,
all curlccwvl over on the sides. I looked ail over
the door for.a knocker Imt couldetit find nothing'
in He] ihape of one, only a square dm nek of silver,
with cousin Bebee’s name writ on it. I rapped
co ning up and giving me a goo l shake o’the
hand ora buss—there wouldn’t a hen any harm
in’t ns we were cousins—she put one foot fowl
a little an I drew t’other back kiud’p cHtccornrcriug,
and then she sort o’wiggled Inr shoulders, and
bent fored and made nettrehy, city fashion. He
I tit myself. " Is that’s what you’re up to. I’ll jist
show von that we’ve had a dancing school in
Weathersfield since yon left it’ Miss Behee.” So
I put out iny right foot aud drew it up into the
holler of tother foot, nnd let my arms drop down
a sort a* pnrpindieolar. and fnr’ord—ji«t ns a
feller shuts a jackknife when he’s nfeard of cut
ting hit fingers—ill I keeping iny eyes fixed on
ner fiic *, 'hough I did have to roll’em up a leetle,
—I reckon I give her a purty respectable sample
o’* a Wethersfhldsbow to match her York Cur
dle
“Pray he seated Mr. Slick,” sez she. a screw
ing her ino'tli up into a sort ofa smile; Imt when
I saw how she wn« struck up I want agoing to
be behind hand with her, so I puckered up my
mouth too, though it wns awful hard work,
nod "sez I,” after you is tn timers for me, Miss
B bee. With that she sot down in one of tho
rocking chairs and stuck her elbo.v on her uriu
and let her head drop in’o her hand as if slto
warnt more than halfalive, nnd sez. she,—
"Take an ottoman Mr Slick.”
I guess I turned red enough for I had’ut no
idee what she merit, Imt I sot down on one of
‘he footstools nt a venter, and tlpen she said.
"IIo.v do M •. and Mrs Slick do? I hope they’re
we'l.” ¥
I felt my eheuezera sitting up to hear her call
her husband's own uncle nnd au.it such stuck up
names, and sez I,
"Your uncle and aunt are pertv smart so as to
b ? jogging about, thank you Miss Behee.” I
Imd’nt Imtjistgot the words out of inv mouth
when tl ere was a hell rung so as to make’ine jump
up, and in a mttmlarter cousin John came in.

truth is, that the latter institution ha* refused to

Ikie erection of these buildings having been deci

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER
FOR OCTOBER.
We have received no less than two numbers of
the above periodical for the lust month, (we do
not know from whom, but suppose from the Edit
or.) We return our thank* to whomever it may
concern. The number before us is enriched hy u
t oo which is the sequel to that remarkable Jewish
story, Judith Bensaddi. The present oueiseuti-
tled " Sjclusal,” nnd i* every way worthy of its
predecessor. It is from the pen of the Rev. Ur-
RupFXF.il, President of Washingtoh College at
Lexington. (Va.) and docs equal honor to his ele
gant attainments, with the former. The style cur-
r.esus liuckto'the good old days of the elder Eng
lish novelists—it has all their raceness and melli
fluous diet on. without their immorality. It* puri
ty of sentiment is indeed pre-eminent, and is only
■surpassed hy the purity of its diction. Here is
truly uu id liberated English; und we recommend
it most earnestly to all Belles Letter students.
We look occasion when reviewing Judith Ben"
eiiddi, to cull toe af.erit.uii of tliut eminent publish
ing house, Harper & Brothers, to that tale. We
again beg them to place these twin tales in the
I unds of their official critic for nn opinioq. They
would make a couple of beautiful little volumes,
about the size of the " Mali of Feeling,” und would
well reward them for their enterprise. They are
worth a hundred of the ordinary clap-trap’novels
of the day—and we need u few such fine hooks of
fiction to bring buck the taste of our youth to the
unadulterated fountain of old English Literature;
uudefiled.
The remaining articles, save one, are capital,
and we 1 worthy of a pe. iwal; tho one to which
we allude, is a notice of a work entitled " Poet*
of America”—illustrated hy one of her Painters.
So fur from thinking the work such us the critic
* fates it to be, we think it beneath contempt, both

tale, taken from the New-York Mirror, entitled
u Thc IJmchippd School Boy," on which to com
ment I ask leave.
The hero of the story is Jim, u hoy ten years
old, who, in soul and body', is* one of the most
disgusting creatures in human shape—possessed
ofevery abominable vice,and not a single redeem
ing virtue. This monster, Mr. Hir.ip, the peda
gogue, attempts to recover in a fuir way, by rea
son—the only means Unit should he used iu edu
cating children; and, no doubt, had this method
been implicated with Jim, Jim would not have
been such a Jim us we are told of, and which he
was made hy the brutality of his mother, who had
whipped him every day from the moment of hi*
b.rth, to his tenth year. He, according to the sil
ly tale-maker’s account, had received "three thou-
salt I six hundred and fifty floggings. Here, then,
who hut a fool will not discover tiio root of the
evil ? The mother, if she did not produce an "im
age of God,” brought forth not a demon, hut made
him one hy her iuhumnu treatment, which must
have soured the sweetest temper, and which not
even a dog could have withstood; und yet ii
seems he had not been flogged enough, ns we arc
