Modesty, diffidence, and a proper hu
mility, ure jewels in the cap ol merit; but
downright bashhilmss, y ur real mau
raise honte is terrible, and .s a distinct
mark of ill-breeding, or lather no breed
ing at all. Your dashing impudent fops,
who say a thousand silly things to the la
dies, and flutter around them like butter
flies, are yet more enda; aL.e than your
bashful fellow who sneaks into a corner,
terrified to catch a look, or exchange a
word with a pretty woman.
Such an identical person paid me a vis
it on one of the cold days last w< ek, and
broke in upon me witii a thousand Lows
and apologit s, w hi e busily engaged with
pen in hand, thinking of a whig candidate
for President, who would not ru.. the risk
ol being knocked on the head Ly our
friends the imanent his name was an
nounced.
‘‘Sit down, sir, if you phase; make no
more apologies, sit down and tell me
your business.” “ Well, sir, I’m come
for a curious business, quite an intrusion,
I’m sure, but .-o it is ; necessity knows no
ceremony. Some lane ago, 1 read in your
paper a descripti. n of the miseries of an
old bachelor, and it was so to the. life—
so true, and so exactly my condition, that
I have made bold to call on you for ad
vice; tor misery, they say, loves company,
and one wretched bache.or may be able
i to counsel another—thus it is—” “ Stop,
stop, my triend; before you proceed, let
me correct an error in which you have,
no doubt, inadvertently fallen. Though
1 may be able from memory to describe
the misery of single wretchedness, J had
not the courage to face it. You must net
be dec ived, I am no longer a bachelor;
do you want the proofs? look there; that
black-eyed, ruddy-cheeked fellow on the
carpet, employed in cutting out ships and
houses from old newspapers, is my old
est; he designs himseli to be an editor,
for he contends that nothing is easier; it
is only, he says, cutting out slips from one
paper and putting them into another.—
That little one who struts about in a pa
per cocked hat and wooden sword, with
which, ever <md anon, he pokes at my
ribs, when deeply engaged tn consider
ing how the nation is to be saved, is my
Second hopeful; he is a Jackson man ; all
children, sir, are lacksen men; he goes
sot a sold'er if there be wars. That lit
jle gt.’den haired urchin, with a melting
blue eve who is so sure to ask me for
candy, while lam describing, in bitter
'he tyranny of the Albany regency,
is my youngest: and there with a basket
of stockings neai her, sits my better half;
there is the sparkling fire, and here are
my slippers; does ail this look like the
miseries of a bachelor?” “Well 1 beg
your pardon, sir, for believing that you
were as wretched as 1 am; but sti.l when
you hear my story you may possibly ad
vise me what is best to be done.” “Go
on, sir.” “ Well, sir, thus it is: My fa
ther realized a handsome property by his
industry, which he left to me, Lot such
Were iiis rigid notions of the necessity of
constant occupation to prevent idleness
and other evils that my lime was employ
ed, after I had left school, which w..s at
an early a. hum sunrise to bed-time.
It was an incessant r mud of occupation
—labour, keeping books, and making out
bills. Behold me now, al the age oftwen
ty-three, with a good constitution, correct
principles, and a handsome income. 1
have lost iny parents —am alone in the
world. I wish to marry, but really, sir,
to whose shame I coultss it, 1 have no
acquaintance with young Isdies. Ido not
know any. My secluded manner of liv
ing has prevented my cultivating their
acquaintance; and if by accident lam
thrown into their society, my tongue is
literally tied. Ido not know how to ad
dress them—l am not conversant with
the topics which are usually discussed.
In short, sir, I wish to advertise for a wife,
and not knowing how to draw up such an
advertisement, 1 came to beg that favour
at your hands.”
“So, so,” said I to myself, “here’s a
little modesty tumbled into decay— * Cat
l<jbs in search'd!’ a Wife?” lie was a
good-looking young fellow, and had a
quick eye, which led me very much to
doubt his reserved, retired and abashed
condition before the ladies.
“ Have you, sir, considered the risk in j
taking a wife m this strange way ? How
very liable you may be to gross impost- ,
tion ? hat lady of delicacy or reputa
tion would venture to contract an alliance
so very solemn and obligatory, through
the channel of a newspaper advertise
ment ?” “ Very probably, sir; but a poor
honest girl might be struck with it; a
clever, well-educated daughter, ill-treated
by a fiery step-mother, might, in despair,
change her condition for abetter one;
nay, a spirited girl might admire the no
velty, and boldly make the experiment.”
“ Well, sir, how are you to conduct the
♦negotiation with your native bashfulness?
You have no superannuated grandmother
or old maiden aunt to arrange prelimina
ries.” “I hat’s very true; but, sir, ne
cessity will give me confidence, mid des- j
pair afford me courage.” (
I I wrote the advertisement for him,
i which Lethal.k/u ly and carefully placed
; in Ins pocket-book, arid b.tde us good morn
ing. “Poor devil,” said I, “here’s a
i condition—here's a novelty here’s a ru

1 good chai net, rand income, and not suff
icient impudence to ask fir a wi'e. I

NEWS FOR THE JDC KIES.
'There are on board the British ship Ad.
am Lodge, arrived yesterday, eight full
blooded English Horses, the property of
Wadk Hampton, Esq of this State.
These Horses were purchased at the last
annual King’s sale, by Dr. Nott, for Mr.
Hampton, under the advice and by the
judgement of Tattersaj.l, one of the
best judges of the English Race Horse;
and at very high prices. We are happy
to stale that by the great care and atten
tion of Mr. Frayer, so advantageously
known on cur Turf, as a Keeper and
Groom, assisted by *a Groom from Eng
land, they are in fine condition and spirits.
'The following are the pedigrees of :
these Horses, and the know ing Jockies
can at once recognize in the various cros
ses, the best mixture of English bleed
PEDIGREES.

Maid-of-all-work,) »Scc.
Bay Filly,by Emelius, out of Elizabeth,
. by Rainbow, (her dam by Beloonina,) by

. ry, &c.
Bay Filly, b}- Priam, out of sister to

i lebri,) by Woodpecker, out of Camilla, by
Tr< ntharn, <kc.
) Ch. Fiily, (for Dr. Nott,) by Waterloo,
dam by Comus, out of Colonel, by Phan
; tom, out of Fillagree, by Soothsayer,
Web, (sister to Whalebone.)
j All the above, bred by His Majesty,and
I purchased at his annual sale, in May last.
With the above are two btood Mares:--
I Magistrate,out of Einmaline,
) the (dam of Young Phantom, Edmund,
Edgar, Edith and Ernest,) by Waxy, her

Iby Skyscraper, by Woodpecker, &c.
j Stmted to Camel.
Tears, got by Woful, out of Miss Ste
phenson, by Scud or Sorcerer, (her dam
) sister t > Petworth,) by Precipitate, Wood
peck, &c.; with a Colt Foal at her foot, by
Defence, and stinted to him again.
This importation will add much to our
present stock of Racers, and tend to pre
vent that breeding of in and in, which
tends inevitably to injure even the best
blood. We have no doubt but that Mr.
Hampton will be richly rewarded for his
enterprise on this occasion.
In addition to the stock of horses above
enumerated, Mr. Frayer hasbrought out a
superior. Brood Alare for Cel. Richard
son.
Although these horses have arrived tn
fine order, yet after such a long voyage,
it is possible they may suffer in their ap
pear.mce, one of C d. .- iugli ton’s finest im
portations, having some time since, lay
five weeks on its side, after it was landed.

C umecled with this subject it gives us
pleasa re to st ite, that the South Carolina
Jockey Clnh, are about erecting a capaci
ous Stand, on the Washington Course,
for the accommo lation of Visitors, at our
next Annual Races. 'This convenience
has been long wanting, and will greatly
add to the number of those who partake
of the gratifying arnucements ol the Turf.
We also learn, that Mr. Hampton has
on board the same ship, some valuable
English Sheep. The stock ol these we
are not in possession of but have no doubt
they are the best that could be obtained.
Curran was one day proceeding to a
Grand Draw ing room at the castle. Up
on that occasion there was much confusion
and jostling amongst the carriages —Sud
denly, Curran let down one of the front
glasses of h.s chariot, and cri-d out to his
coachman, —‘stop, slop! the pole of the
carriage behind us has just forced in the
back of ours.’ Then be any your honor,
it’s ail right again ; our pole has just gone
into the back of the carriage b fore us.’
Such of the inhabitants of the villages
and small towns distant from Dublin as
can afford to purchase slioes, prefer to o-et
themselves supplied with that article of
costume from the capital. For this pur
pose each person lias a last (or, as they
cad it, a form,) made of the exact Size and
shape ofthe foot; .arid one in want of shoes
will take advantage ofa journey to Dublin
by rny fi lend or neighbor, to send the form,
in order that a pair may be fitted to it.
Curran’s servant happened to be going
to Dublin on business for his master, and
wascharged by several of his acquaintan
ces w ith commissions of that nature, each
furnishing him with his form accordingly.
‘And be sure,’ said Curran to his man,
be sure you buy shoes for yourself at the
same time : I shall be very angry if you
don’t for you are very much in want of
them.
‘Sure and I will your honor,’ was the
man’s reply.
On his return home Curran inquired I
whether he had bought himself shoes.
‘No, and indeed, but I didn’t, your hon- I
or.’ ;
‘And why did you not, sirrah? Didn’t
I give you positive orders to do so?-’
‘And, plase your honor, and did'nt I
go to Dublin and forget to take my form
along with me?’
It need hardly be remarked upon this
that it had neveroccurred to the poor fellow
that his own foot would have served his
purpose at least as well as the model of it.

Mr. Smith, Editor of the Sunday Morniny 1
.Xeirs, whose letter on an exciting subject, we ;
copy with the commendatory remarks of the .
Charleston Courier, is a' present in our neigh- j
borhood, as may be seen on reference to our i
Hymeneal Lead. Mr. Smith had good reason
for his attachment to the South and zealous de- i
fence of her principles and institutions. Who
would not be so attached for such rewards '?
We declare, Mr. S. has given us reason to fear,
he has been interested in this matter.
Our opponents m ty well bless the storm which
darkened our prospects on the day of election
through all the N. Western Counties. It saved
them a storming, which they would never have
got over.

THE ELECTION.
By the returns to-day, Schley,is 1819 votes
ahead and Wilde G3O behind Holsey, the hind
most on the Union ticket. Every day will swell
our majority to the end of the race. The result
is undoubled, —2'2 counties for Governor,and 28
for Congress to be reported.
Hon. C. P White of New York has resigned
( his scat in Congress from that State.
I Duck and Swimmer, the Indians- who mur
) du red Eli Hicks, wete shot in attempting to
I escape from the Guard, says the Pioneer, a
I day or two since. Both of them were killed. -
XVe have not a doubt, we believe no one has
jof the result of our election. Our ntunercial
I superiority- will be small, that is, it will not ex
) ceed 3000 votes, when we should show 10.000.
j Our opponents are in great glee—that they are
: not beaten 3 or 6000 votes, which, they admit,
; they expected. All that we regret in the re
, stilt, is, its tendency to keep our opponents in
j hope—already they are saying, what they will
Ido another year. They allege, we are failing
. —our friends growing fewer in the State, and
) wc will assuredly be in a minority in ano
, ther year! Bui so far from this being the fact,
j our present half triumph will only ald to the
) overvyhehning poll, with which they will be
routed another time. Men will then lurn out,
rain or shine. Habersham and Franklin will
pour out their strength—no one will be detfir
) red from the performance of a great duty by a
j little wind and rain ; and their sister Counties
i will roll such a flood of Union votes from the
m mntains as shall obliterate the little rills of
Ntillifieation and choke up all their spring .
I We might mention many good reasons (or the
present result, so (tiflereut in amount of votes
from the expectaii on of both patties; but some
' ol them are of a delicate nature, and we had
rather the matter should bo misunderstood a
broad, than recount them. But the rain of M.m-
d iv, through al! the region of our greatest
strength, was en >ugli to have lost us at least
3003 voles. Sa be it —We are readj- for anoth
er campaign and shall enter it with hopes un
broken—prospects unclouded, and a zeal ren
der'd nore intense bribe crowing of war ad
versaries so lung before div light.
As a formula for those who may not be expert
in such matters, we copy the following original.
It was actually sent to an olftter c mimanding a
Battalion in a neighboring county and is no
creature of literary taste. The writer is no a
dept at spelling or placing apostrophes; but it
is possible he might have placed something
where it would have been equally as obnoxious
as a misplaced comma. We recounm-nd those
intending such sport, or hoping for the same to
carefully preserve this paper. The milk and
water invitations of the present fashion are the
most out-of-place things in nature. You would
sooner suppose you were invited to take a break
fast or a morning recreation of a very different
sort. This is unnatural. The Indian paints
himself with the most horrid devices, intended
and calculated to intimidate his enemies, but
the civilized man goes out to shoot his enemy
with a polite invitation in bis pocket and a ci
gar in his mouth! No, send a challenge, that
shall either scare your adversary or raise his
spunk. We think, we knew a duel once stop
ped by one party swearing he would blow a
hole thro’ his antagonist th'at G—d A y
couldn’t stop. That was considered a very ex
traordinary sort of an aperture, and it was con
cluded, that its opening had Letter be deferred.
But here is the article, that is to supercede all
other forms in such matters :
Mr. . Ipursiime your ate not satisfied
in pestering of mee, and now I will oner you so
fare as to give you satisfaction, by giving you a
Chanelege to meet me in on eny name
day, for a ring fi t and s< hul fit, or meet me in
hamburg with powder and ball eny name Day,
and if you dont except of neither banters, I shall
pronounce you an infurnal Coward, and not fit
for a field officer. And if you pester me with
eny more of your little lying stinking warents
as I am in formed you are a Bout to do, in the

dont in tend to be imposed on no longer.

BANK ROBBER DISCOVERED AND MONEY
FOUND.
Our readers are perfectly familiar w ith
the robberi- of the Branch of the Bank of
Darien in this city, on or about the 7th of
June last—the discovery of part of the
amount purloined, ($23,000) on the 17th
of that month, by a negro, who found the
same among some bales of cotton on John
ston’s w harf.—and the subsequent arrest
in this city in thesainemonth of John Fitz
gerald, suspected as the Bobber of the
Bank, but discharged for the want of ev
idence to render him culpable.
We are now gratified iu being able to
state, that there is every prospect that the
whole amount purloined will be ultimate
ly recovered. Those vigilant officers—
. Messrs Hays and Huntington of New
York, it seems, suspected Fitzgerald tn
N. York of being in possession of money
by some unfair means, and succeeded in
elicit ng from him a confession, which im
plicates Paliick Savage, ol this place, a
Conch maker by trade, as an accomplice.
Messrs. Hays and Huntington arrived in
this city on Saturday, and proceeding to
the place designated by Fitzgerald, found
a box containing $69,381, the larger por
tion ol tii.c bills stolen. It was stowed a
way in the ceiling of the Coach H 'use of
Mr. Warner, with whom, we learn, Mr.
Savage worked as a Journeyman.
The amount now missing, is not only
composed of Bank Bills of tl*e Savannah
Branch ($4,074) which Fitzgerald says
he thew away when pursued by officers in
Savannah—but also $7,315, in Gold and
Silver, which was secreted, but has been
removed [it is supposed] irom its place of
j deposite, since FdZgeraid left the city.
iMr Savage has been committed to jail
for further examination. Fitzgerald states,
in h s affidavit, that the $23,000 found m
in June among the cotton, were placed
therewith his consent. A demand has
been made, through the Governor, for the
body of Fitzgerald, at present confined in
New York—and Messrs. Haysand Hunt
i ington will return to that city with a liber
j al reward in their pockets, to which their
( vigilance fully entitles them.— Georgian,
The Temps gives the following anec
dotes of Tieschi the assassin:—“ A per
son in whom Fieschi seems to place
much confidence, asked him, in his pri j
son, ifthe King was exposed to any dan
ger at present. ‘At present,’ he repliiui
after a short pause— ‘ No, it will be some
time before another Fieschi can be found.’
When asked who had given him the idea
of the infernal machine, he answered,
‘Noone: there are few pet sons, let me
tell you, who are capable of directing
Fieschi.’ Messrs Baude at Letrocat
speak highly of the great superiority of
his intellect. His health has greatly im
proved; his mind seems perfectly at ease,-
and he pisses his time chiefly at playing
dominoes.
Sir Godfrey Ktieller, who, it is well
known was one of the vainest men of his
time, was one day sitting with Pope, when
his nephew, a Guinea trader, called to see
him. ‘Nephew,’ said Sir Godfrey, ‘you
have now the honor of standing in the pres
ence of two of the greatest men in the
world.’ Ido not know,’ said the traffick
er in human flesh, ‘how great you may
be; but 1 dotil much like your looks. I
have often bought a man much better than
both of you for ten guineas.’
Epitaphs and obituary notices are not
exactly fit themes for merriment; but at
times thvy are so solemnly ludicrous that
sorrow and sadness change into a smile.
I Thefollowing extract from the obituary of
| a provii cia! newspaper is so surpassingly
■ comic, that we cannot resist the temptation
lof laving it before our readers. Shakes

A home Anecdote. ln the Temperance
Contention yesterday, while the subject
of total obstinance from wine was under
discussion, a gentleman illustrated the re
luctance of good society to g’ve up their
costly wine cellars, at the same time that
they exhort the gin drinkers to take to
' cold wait r alone, by the following apt an
ecdote Three men were brought before
in magistrate, charged with drunkenness.
The magistrate inquired ofthe first what
lie got di uni; on? The answer was whis
key. Then I fine yon thirty shillings,for
it is a shame for any man to get drunk on
whiskey. And what did you gi t drunk
on? asked the Magistrate of the second.
New Rum, was the answer. That is not
so bad, but no man fought to get dunk on
rum ar.d I fine you twenty shillings. The
third was asked what made him drunk,
and he answered that he got drunk on
brandy punch! Ah! says the Magistrate,
then I fine you nothing for I sometimes
| get drunk on brandy punch myself.
i Another member of the Convention,
stated that the great obstacle to the temp
, erance Deformation, was the attachment
of the wealthy circles iu Boston to wines.
He related as a fact, that the wine bill of
a single individual, for six weeks at a ho
tel in this city, was one hundred dollars.
All is wry well but there is one fashion
able source of imempi rance which the
Convention did not seem to think of, and
which would have produced no little jar
ring had it been broached. Me mean
those public revels which have been held
the past year or two in honor of what was
called whig victories, the 4th of July and
other occasions. It is of little use for gen
tlemen to make fine speeches on Temper
ance, and then sit down to a table in pub
: lie where an hundred toasts are steeped in
as many bumpers. For instance, who
could fail while the anti-wine discussion
was going on yesterday, to .ecollect that
the President of that most respectable Con
vention, but a little more than a year ago
presided at a dinner on Boston Common,
where six thousand bottles of wine
WERE DRUNK.
XV hat a lecture on temperance this to
present to the delirium tremens frequent
ers of the grog shops I —Give us your six
thousand bottles us wine, drank on Boston
Common, they would say, and you are
welcome to our potato? juice and essence
