'•No I won’t. I'll be rumbusticated if I do; sez the tother chap, a pushing toward the door, bolding tho hat down with both hands, as if he warnt used to them kind o’ things; “all fair in 'lection time. Hurra for equal rights!” Jist then there come in a grist oftellers a yell ing and a kicking up their heels like all possessed. They’d brought up the news from one more word. "Who on arth can those critters be t” says I to Captin Doolittle. " Oh thafs a squad of the recent emportation; don’t you see how tho hair’s all worn otf their heads a carrying brick hods on ’em?” says the Captin. "Yon don’t say so; nowhy gracious how they do blather out theso words, don’t they!” sez i, hut I might ns well a been talking to a stone fence, for jist that ininit the hull on wn sot up a noise that was enough to make a fellers eye teeth jump out of his head. Did you ever hear four hundred thousand wild cats ana bears, and wolves, and screech owls, a squalling, and a howling. & a squeaking together! ir you taint, there’s no use trying to moke you have the least idea how that eternal crowd of crit ters did hoot and yell. There they weie a e*clearn ing, and a stomping, and a dancing, and a fiddling allm a heap, till a feller comidn’t hear himself think, and wouldn’t a known what he was think ing about if he did hear. All to once a nan got up and sez he, " Geutlemen, I have composed a song for this stapendous victory, supposing we sing it, now, afore the last news comes inf there’s only two more wards to hear from. Arter wo've sung sum one will make n speech. But you needn’t stop dancing and fiddling on that account, this is Liberty hall.” At this they sot up another of these tarnation howls; "lloora for old Ta- monv, the cradle nf Liberty*! Three rdtanrs for old Tamony!” "Now,”aez the singing man. "shallwe give 'em the song, I’ve gota'iot printed off, so that you can all jine; them that don’t know how to read can sing Yankee Doodle, or Hail Columbia, it wont make no difference!” With that he flung a lot of papers among tho crowd, I hippened to catch one, jist as it was a falling into the top of fellers hat, that hadn’t got any crown in it, so I will send it to you jistas it was printed out on die paper:— "Sound your trumpets, bent your drums, The Dimocratic triumph comes; Banners are out, and colors are flying, The city is ours, and the whig* are a dying, Draw the fiddle, blow the fife, Keep the ball a rolling. Wo have had a glorious strife, While the votes were polling. Locofocu hnnga pairs Tumble bugs and thunder, Indomitable make our lairs, The whigs art knocking under We an dimoeraties all, Onr country's brave defenders, We hate given the whigs a fall, We roarers and buU-cndtrs, We will down with the paper banks, We will down with laws, sir, We will level men and ranks, We are all huge paws, sir. Some of us have got no hat, Some no coat or trousers j What do rich men care for that, Who live in splendid houses f Loeofoeo, huge paws, Sfc. Some of us sleep in the Park, Some in empty barrels, Some prefer a nightly lark, And some their morning quarrels— While some, upouthc Chatham flags, Will soon be soundly snoozing, Covered with the glorious rags, They have no fe.ir oflosing, LoeofoeoJiuge pates, fa. We have given the banks a blow, The whigs a mighty licking— We have hod a glorious row, And left diem both a kicking. We have raised our duly paws, We have beat them holler; What care we for banks or laws, Who never I ud a dollar, Loeofoeo, huge paws, Sfc. Sound yonr trimnpets, beat your drums, The Dimocratic triumph comes; Banners ore out, colors uro flying, The city is ours and the whigs are a dying!” The way they roared out diis song was awful, I can tell you. Some of’em sung in one tune and some in another—every man went on his own hook. The pussy Htlle feller pulled away on the fiddle like all natur, and die chap with the skewed nose made a plague/ squeaking with a split fife that he had. The feller that hudn’t no crown in hU hat bellered out Old Lang Syne, and I see an other chap holding his p&per upside down, and blowing away at Old Hundred like all natur. When diey begun to drop off, for it warnt to be j Uiat such a heap ef critters could stop ull together, the pussy feller with the fiddle, yelled out, "Hurra for the 8ong»—Three cheers for Singer Jovonny Gilbertniny!” And then diey went at it agin, u hooting and a tossing up their hats—them that laid ’em—as if Old Nick himself had kicked ’em on eend. By gracious! I dou’t wonder they cull the fellers that inuke speeches thore in Tammany Hull, "Sachems.” I don’t be lieve such a lot of white iugiins ever got togedicr before, or ever will ugin. There was one great feller, as pussy as a bag of bran in harvest time, that roared out his words like a hog'that had been learaed to talk. "That’s a Yorkshire man,” sez Captin Doolit tle "I'U treat jf it aint.” Wal, who on arth is that feller there a talking to that little stuck up chip with the pciked nose? What in the uaine of n itur docs he mean, by his sprasfc s and his yatos? I'll be dnmd, if I was the little feller, I’d jist tlmnk him unt to bark in my face that way; lie opens his mouth os if he was a going to awaller the poor critter hull, every dme he speaks—do tell, who can he be Captin ? "Wal,” sez the Caplin," I don’t know sartin, bull rather guess lie’s one of die Dutch fellers, by his lingo. ” " There, now, jiit look a there,’' sez I ahlnting to a feller diut had jist come up to the Dutch chap. Ho wasn’t over clean, anyhow, but he bad a great brass htmdkuchcr-pin stuck in his bosom, and he strutted so that a common chap couldn't a touched him with a tun foot pole. I poked my elbows into Captin Doolittle’s ribs, to try and make bim tell me what he was;but he was a look ing t’other way, and wouldn’t mind me. By -ain- hy the feller begun to talk to the Dutch chap. Me kept a flinging his arm about every which way, and a jabbering over a mess ol lingo that was enough to mitffbn man larf in his face. The words ell ran together like warm's curd when the cheVpe gets contrary and wont set. The Dutch feller kept a opening his mouth, and once in a while a word would couie out full chunk right jn t’othcr’s face. Thinks sez I, if this aint a touch of tho dead languages, it ought to bo, that’s all—for it’s onought to mako a feller die richt off to hbar it. He seemed to be Ashamed of himself at last and begun to try to talk genuine American, but he made awftil work ont. By-am-liy I found out that he was a Frenchman; for a tall lathy feller, dint I'd a took my Bible oath come straight off the Green Mountains, went up to him. sort o'wrathy, and sez he, " Hold youryop, you tarnal French man ; if yon don’tlikethh country and what we’re a doing, you’d better go back hum agin. ” The french feller turned os red as a turkeys topping and he begun to sputter away as mad os could be. lint todier chap jist put his hands in his pockets and sez—''you go to grass,” I dont know what else he said for jist that niiuit tho all sot up one of their almighty roars and yelled out—"a speech, a speech. ” With that a feller with spec tacles on, got up to make a speech and arter rolling upon his shirt sleeves and spitting on his hands as if he was going to chopping wood, he went at it shovel and tongs. I’ll be darn’d to dnmation if it didn't moke my blood bile to hear how lie went on. Bitch a stream o’talk I never did hear couio from one hu man critter. At last I got so wrathv that I couldn’t stand it no longer, and bust right out the ininut he’d got through. "Feller ettizens of New-York,” sez I, a mount ing myself ou the wiuder cill and sticking my right arm out as stiff as a crowbar, "I aint much used to public speaking, but I must say a few words.” “Hurra for the Yankee—go it green horn—tin us a speech, a rale downright dimocratic roarer!' sung out uior’n a dozen on ‘’em, and all them a* bout me turned their jaws up, and opened their months as if I’d been sot up there for a show. "Feller citizens,” sez I. "I’ve been a listening to you hero this night, (they kept ns sdll us mice now) and die rale American blood bos been biting in my heart to see such canyings on, and to hear such things said os that feller’s been a talking,”— ("Ilussle him out,” sez they; "throw him out; go it ye cripples,”) but when diey got still, soz I, "Since I’ve come here to this city I’ve almost made up my mind tiiat there aint a genuine teto- tal paint t among ye all, on die one udo or tother, auil that the least shake of a truth would suit a downright politic feller as well as water would a mad dog, aud no better! ("Hurnt for the Yan kee,” sez diey.) "Now,” sez 1, a sticking out both anus to onco, "In revolutionary times it was worth white to a public character to turn soldier, or patriot, or vit politician, for in them times folks found so much to do that they couldn’t git time to lie so like all natur a* they Ho now. In them glorious dines a feller could shoulder a bagonet aud writo out his politics on the heart of die mne- my, and dicre warnt no mistake in the hand wri ting. (What a clapping and stomping they mado here!) When they sung out liberty I reckon die British knew the meauing on’t.” (‘‘Three cheers for the Yankee,” says they again, "Three cheers for the Yankee,” and then they hollered, and yell ed, and whooped and stomped, aud whooped and yelled agiu aud agin, like so inauy infernal di- vils jist broke loose from a 1‘arson,—when sez I, fori teas severed by the noise diey made, and :uy hair stood up stiff as a tom cat’s diough I knew Uie lnjuus \\ a» a praising me,—wheu, sez I agin.) "Feller cititizen*. as true as I live, it eenuiost makes me cuss aud swear to think on’t, when die people of diese times sing out liberty, a feller can't tell whether they mean to tear down a flour store or roast a nigger alive.” But dont you think, that when 1 got as fur as here, as much as two thousand on’em was taken sick ull at once, and in rale agony, but sez I, " I dont wonder tho old Revolutionary Patriots die oil* so. What Pvs seen to-night is enough to send every one on ’em into the grave with their tough old hearts broken and their foreheads wrinkled widi shame at the news they have got to carry to Gmcral Washington in tother worid!” I stopped to catch a little breath and was jist poking out my arm agin to go on, for I felt us bold as a lion, aud the words came a flowing into iny mouth so thick, I could’n; but jist find room tor ’em. But the eternal pack of varmints set up a yell, that would a frightened any man out a year’s growdi, and afore I knew which eend my head was on, diey got hold on incund pitched me down atairs, and left me a sprawling in the gutter. Tho first thing I knew I felt something a tloimdcritu about under me, and a great black hog that hat been a lying in the gutter give a grunt, and pitch ed me forc’d on my fiiCe and weni off sque aim* • a—a a* If lie .a. iu.it lo ucing drive up by com- puny at any time of night in them quarters. Wal. I picked myself lip as well as I could, aud I wont down to the Express office like a streak of chalk. I found the tall editor a setting there coitut- ingup some 'lection figures, of the way he wua licked in the city, and he looked eciiaiuost tucker ed ouu Seal, “Mister Editor, look a here,” and with that 1 showed him where they'd bust out tho bock of my coat a flinging ine down stairs, and how dial plaguy hog had covered my new casi- inere trowsers all over with mud. Sea he, and he could’ut keep from larfin, "don't mind it Mr. Slick; did’ntyou hear whata groan the whole possey on ’em jist givo ine, you aee I don’t aeein to mind it.” “Yes," aea I.son awrothy, "bnt I guesa you would ifthey’d a pitched yon into the gutter with that tarnal hog!" “Wal,” sea he, a trying to kocp from larfin all be coul.l, “try it agin Mr. Slick,you'll getuse to these tilings by aud bye." “I'll he darned to ilarnation if I do, end that’s file eend on’t!” sea I, a doubling tip my fist. “If I can't find nolhiug but politics lo write aliout, I'll go back to Weatiiersfield about the quickest, I can tell you that" "Wal, never seem to mind it,” sea he, "you can always find enough to write about, so we'd jist aalive you’d let politics alone, because Major Jack Downing 'ill take care oftheui."

From your loving Son, WAT" SAVANNAH! WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. SO, 1899. JOS rilAN SLICK. NORFOLK, Nov 10. From Bermuda.—We aro indebted to e com mercial home in Uiia place for files of tho Bermu da Royal Gazette to the 20th ult., which we have looked over, aud gather the following items: The American schooner. Triumph, Capt, Rurnham, out seven days from Boston, hound to St Domingo, with an assorted cargo ofprorisons and lumber, struck on the rocks to the North of Bermuda, about 10 o'clock on Saturday Inst, and was compelled to throw over her deck loud, con sisting of 00,000 feet of lumber. Through assis tance from the shore .lie was got off on the fob lowing morning, aud taken into St Georges. Tho slave schr Clara liad arrived at Bermuda from New York, and was placed in the Court of Admiralty to be deult with as a pirate, The Gazette mentioned that the American Reg isters found on board of the prizes made by the British cruisers are said to bo obtained from Mr. Tristat Havana, and that a greater number of slavo vessels are now building in Baltimore than were ever known before, The Gazette seems unwilling to admit that the crop in England is us short as it is represent- ed it, be in the papers of the United Stales. „ The intelligence of the suspension of the I Jnludelphie and Baltimore banks, and the termin ation or die war in Spain, was published in an extra from tho Royal Gazette on the 29th ultimo. The health ofthe Island was good. Nothing ofcommereiul or general importance stirring on the 2dth.

KT The Philadelphia North American, says:— We find the rumor of a speedy resumption on tho part of our Banka to be aa we feared, a mere rumor, at any rate for tho present. The cause which was alleged to have led immediately to their suspension, via: the demand for specie to pay the Eastern debt still continues; and were the banka now to resume before they aro more fortified by the arrival or remittances or produce from the West, It would nf necessity be merely nominal, as the depositee in them have increased since the suspension $1,800,000—nearly all of which are for Eastern account, and aro waiting aouie favor- nhle turn in the exchanges before being drawn for. THE CITY OF A THOUSAND ISLES. Notwithstanding the beauty of Savannah, her admirable position—either aa it regards peaco, nr war—her noble arrangement of slrecta. so woll suited to a warm climate—her enterprising, weJ.lliy and Indefatigable Merchants—her noble River and Rail Road—her hcaldiy position—liar pure water—her ever green groves in the midst of her squares and streets—her splendid Churches, (one of them the finest in America)—her public spirit and noble works of charity and beuevolenco; notwithstanding all these, Savannah ia a sxtr- dsdohtkr ! Her own mother, tho State of Geor gia, has cast her off, and she has now and haa laid to straggle single handed: nay, she haa to con tend with a triangular rivalry—and tlio Legislature of her own Stato playing iuto the hands of her enemies oil the while. The success of the Central Rsil Road is entire ly owing to her, and tho enterprise of her sons thus fur. Tho Legislature folds its arms and looks on quite calmly, while it haa almost been demon strated by actual experiment, that the Road com pleted, though it bo only eighty miles, is capable in course of time, from its great profits, of literally building itself. Will the legislature let this be the ease 1 Aro we to wait until Ilia profits of one hundred miles may build the reiuaiuderl Surely it will lend a helping hand this winter, and at least lend tho credit of tire State for its speedy comple tion—otherwise, ws fear the credit of the good commonwealth, will suffer in a tenderer point than its purse. To return to our legitimate ohject. We spoke in a former article sf the beautiful scenery as viewed from our blcff, balconies and steeples, but we said nothing of tie approach to the city. When tiie traveller, in coining from Augnstnby water, suddenly doublesa bend in the river seven miles hence, the citybursts upon his view like the rapidly changing scales of a theatre. The spires seem literally to piciee the clouds, so high does the whole loom shore the surrounding country— then the buildings, rising nne above another, like the rising tiers of our amphitheatre, gives an idea of much greater magnitude than itreally posiesaes. He naturally turns to his guide bonk, and is as tonished to see that it only contains from fifteen to twenty thousand inhabitants. The back out- lines aro lost and merged in the surrounding for ests—and there again hia eyo ia at fuult, but the indistinctness of outline is fully compensated, by the grandeur of tiiedisplay. Never have we aeon a finer approach to a city th ui the one we are attempting to describe. Mexico, with its many bridges, aqueducts and cauaewnya, and old Slarn- boul," with its domes and minarets, perhaps strike tho eye more imposingly from their defined mag- uitude and extent, but ineornpanibly less from natural elevation nfposition and beauty of outline. At the distance mentioned, all harshness in tho coloringisiovllowedintoahazy,misty atmosphere, peculiar we believe to views bordering on the ocean. Let that bo aa it may—it has a charming effect upon the prospect; but atlength the objects of the picture begin to grow as those of a pano rama when viewed fora length of time through a glass, until the traveller stands beneath our bluff, and tho mystery nf our magnified and inuldplied houses and steeplea, stands revealed. On the other side—the approach from Tilree Light is equally fine, but differing iu character— the route is more circuitous and the steeples elude you as you wind about among the sea islands,now bursting into view and vanishing like e looming •hip, perched for one moment upon the clouds and tho next seemingly buried beneath die waves. We have seen a whole company of strangers lost in admiration, on a bright autumnal morning, at this novel steeple chasing; while onr own citizens stood aloof with gratified pride and glistening eye, saying to themselves in hearty gratulation, ’fur my own, my native home. Savannah is a glorious old place—there is no mistake about it, aud tis said, when once a man drinks Savannah water, he will ever afterwards have a longing for the spot. No ono here has fuilh in any one’s going away permanently. A friend shakes tiro hand of another, and tells him good by, as he takes his departure for Texas, perhaps, but he does it with a smile, and says, all! you will be hack by and by. Amidst all these subjects ofjust pridoand grati fication, there ia one great draw-back—one great blight upon file prosperity of Savunnali—ono that drains her of half a million a year—leaves her halls deserted—her churches empty—her business par alyzed—hergniety crushed, and her growth essen tially marred. It is absenteeism! tli.it bane of South ern cities. No lady con be considered of tho true houl Ion now-a-days, unless she at leaat onco a year stands upon the Taldo Rock of Niagara, and becomes re-baptised in that noble, fashionable spray, or waltzes, or gallapades iu Bond and Blceker-stroets, or Wnverly place; and no mus taches aro tolerated with our beaux hut those that have passed review in Broadway—and tho itago box of tiie Park. We onco recollect to have been standing upon the White Hull Pier, longing in imagination, for some ariol voyager to waft us to tho bright shores of old Georgia—with her buluiy breezes, and genial climate, when u vessel let go her anchor in tiie offing, crowded to suffo cation with passengers. I could seo their heads above tlio bulwarks and among tiie rigging, like so many turkies iu a crowded coop. Him was from Savunnali! Will tiie reader believe it, they came to, New-York for health—and at that very dying dally there with Asiatic !' Oh tho beatilios of absenteeism—the comisionc} of absenteeism—the health, the re generating effects of absenteeism—tho profit of absenteeism I rather, oh I the folly,’ the wickedness of absenteeism. * Last oar readers should think thnt wo were wri ting in a boastful spirit of our prolcndnd travels, wo say at onco that wo have novei* seou eiliwr of theso ril es, exunpi in panoramic exhibitions.
