SAVANNAH.
OCTOBER 12, 1043.
kztructfrsm Mr. Webster’* lute Speech *t Ro>
Chester.
Without to-night entering upon nnv dobnto-
•bio ground or politic*, upon nny thing that
(Idea nut harhko of elementary truth—tttid I
any it undor thu conviction that it ia n mat-
tor of eltmuwtnry truth—to which ovory true
American eitixon who will not give way
to names, hut thinks that thorn ia something
in things, I any that it la in tho powor of Gov.
eminent, that it ta tho duty of Government
to a cnnsldurnblo extent, to tako euro that
there should be a demand for Agricultural pro
ducts. (Cheer*,) 1 am not about, gentlemen,
to tutor upon tho question—tho debatonblo
subject—of a Protoctivo Tariff, to any coniid-
crabio extant. Bui I uulurthalcas, do any—
nt least I do think—and why should I sot say
it?—(Chuora, and cries of'say it.’ 'out withit,'
'goon.'—I do any, gontlnimm, th.it tho Antu-
ctil.TURK of this Country is the great matter
which demands Protection. It is a misnomer
to talk about tho Protection of Manufccturca;
that ia not tho thing wo want or nued: It is tho
Protection or Titv. AoRtr.ut.TURK or tiik
Countby ! (Repeated ohoora.) It is a fur
nishing to tho surplus productions of that Ag
riculture a market, a near market; a home mar
ket, a largo markot! (Choora.nnd erica of That’s
it,' Hharia what wo want..) Why, gentle-
men, many of my friends amf noighbora in my
own State Imvo invested their capital in Man-
ftictures. Ofcotirso they dcsiro employment
in this branch of industry. But suppose they
do not gut it: cannot thoy turn their capital in-
to other chaunuls, into a thousand other pur
suits to-morrow? Arc they shut out from nil
other way* of living? Do you suppose that tho
protection of this interest is ns important to
them as it is to you? It is ns essentinl as
absolutely necessary, to their interest ns to
yours? Not by ten thousand times! You want
• markot lor your productions. You want
consumers. You want open mouths aud unclad
bodies to eat and drink aud wear tho surplus pro
ductions you have provided for them! You want
a home markot, n steady demand for your Acri-
cultural products. And this is, and must be fur
nished by thu Commercial classes, tho sca-far-
ing classes and all other classes of non-produ
cers. Now, gentlemen, I certainly admit
that those who havo invested their capital
x in Manufactures have n groat interest nt stake,
•nd it is just that thoy should have secured
by law a reasonable protection to that interest.
But I do also insist, in spito of all tho sophis
try and all the folly (as I must call it,) of this
age—and this age is full of sophistry and folly
on this subject, that tho great thing to ho look
ed for is that wo have nt home, n demand for
the surplus products of our Agriculture, and,
on the other side, a home demand for the pro
ducts of Manufacturing industry. (Cheers.)
The neighborly exchange it is, this neighbor
ly intercourse among ourselves—this supply-
tug our own wants front city to city, from vij-
ligo to villago, from house to house, this, this
it is which is calculated to make ns n happy
and a strong people. (Enthusiastic applause.)
Now, (hero is on this subject, especially
among our brethren at tho 8ou'h, a strange in
fatuation. They are respectable men—rea
sonable men—candid men, in some respects—
in most respects: and yet see how thoy reason
upon this subject. Gentlemen, I belong to
Blassachusetts. (Applause. Cries of ‘Good,’
•nd three deafening cheers for Massachusetts!)
I have taken the pains to inquire what sums
of money Massachusetts pnys to Virginia and
Carolina, to s.iy nothing of New York, every
year for their agricultural products : and it a-
mounts to several millions. If wo take the
Eastern part of Virginia and the Eastern part
of North Carolina, what havo thoy for salo but
agricultural products purchased by the manu
facturing and comiueiciat classes of New Eng
land ? Nothing on tho fire of tho earth—and
wa pay them many millions. We are their
only customer Does Eugland take their grain ?
Certainly not: and yet, owing to causes which
it would be easy to explain If it wore proper,
owing to prejudice, owing to their peculiar no-
tions—for notions are quite as common there
■S in New England, though New England is
the 'land of notions!' (Laughter and cheers)—
there is a perfect reprobation of .any idea of
protection giving them any sale for their agri
cultural products, although they find, day by
day, that we buy aud pny them for their pro
ducts by manufactures ortho North—and it is
the only thing that they get a dollar for: and
are ready to drive us into raising Corn and
all agricultural products for oursolves—they
being agricultural, aud finding the article
continually becoming cheaper, and no per
sons except us to buy of them ! (Cheers.)
Now that s a strong case—though perfectly
true of Eeastern Virginia and of North Caroli
na. Why, gentlemen, l live on tho sandy sea
shore of Massachusetts, and I get along as well
XX I can. 1 am R very poor fermor upon s Ffciit
quantity of vory poor land. But my neighbors
and I, by very groat caro—I hardly know how
—continue to live on. We pay for what we
purchase—though, for my life, I could hardly
tell how ; this only I know, they all get paid
in some way. Aud yet these men complain
that wo do not raise what wo want ourselves
hut buy of them ! There seems to ho much
truth in an old saying, that 'Maxims which
have a seeming sense take firmer hold, and
endure longer in the inind, than those which
are founded on naturo and experience.' Men
like dogmas: they liko theory. If they ran
pick np or scrape together a string of apoph
thegms or enigmas—tho fact and truth and all
'the Hainan talent in the world can never ar-
gun them out of them. Equal delusions pre
vail in other parts of the country, as, for in
stance, tho notion that Protection to manufac
tures is a thing peculiarly beneficial to those
engaged in thnso pursuits. Far from it. As 1
have said, tho capital of Massachusetts can go
to commerce, or can go to farming. But what
can ho d'-y'.vkwe farm is bis sole estate, but
till It ? Can transport it nr go into other
pursuits ? The fact is, Protection to this class
of sosiety is, next to the honcficenco of Ilunven,
whose aim shines and whose rains fall upon os,
the highest object, the most absolute necessity
to those who rultivnto the land, and raise from
it more thon suffices for the wants of them
selves and their families. (Checrs.j
Now, gentlemen, we are Ainuriean*. Wo
have a vaat country, n variety of climate,
and various pursuits. Wo have agricultural
States; and wo Itnre plantation States. Wo
„ have manufacturing iuteruMs am! comnmrcjul
interests. Aud our business is not to array our
various interests into a belligerent and hostilo
state, not to infinino our own passions or tha
passions of others concerning thu tnensiires
of government for tho protection of our par
ticular interests;—but let us make tho wholo
■ groat national, I may say, a family con
cern- We should aim not to produco the
impression that ono interest is sot against
another, hut that wo all go for those laws
and measures which will hu most condu
cive to the gencrnl good. Wo should remem
ber that wo nre citizens of the Uni'cd Stntes;
that as such wo nro interested in tho United
3latws and in every State,—that wo nro interes
ted in tho concerns of all classes and of every
class i and I do firmly belinvo that moderation
and wisdom and porsovcronce aud truth and
rnason- will ultimately prevail over nil tho in
fluences which seorn to soporatn the intctoBts
of ono class from thoso of another. Why,
what I have said in relation to the necessities
nr wants of Agriculturo is strictly into with
regard-to our brethren of tho South engaged in
the Plantation interest. Tho first market for
their cotton, and the best market, is with tho
Northern and Nuw-Englnnd manufacturers of
that articlo, and it is absolutely astonishing
that this is not perceived. Tho North takes
ona-tbitdof tlioir cotton, and that the first third,
and fixes tho price; it is sold with small charge
for frieght and still brings a high price. And I
any it ja absolutely astonishing that those whoso
living depends on tho production and sale of
this article should not see to what nn extent it
depends upon the consumption and nidntifac-
tnre nf the article in our own country. Theso
truths—those elontonts of political economy aro
nslrutt on the James River and in Alubamu ns
hero; and let popular prejudice become in
formed and kina fooling mark nil discussions
of thu subject, and wo shall come to seo how
•iiucli our happiness and honor depend upon n
free and just and liberal Intercourse among our
selves. (U/n'or*.)

Tho sliado of tho Northern Indian sutn-

The non residents wore consumptive, and
other northern invalids, whose constitution#
were so entirely Inst, and assisted hy a rough
sc-i and land passage, that they did not live a
week aflcr arriving in Florida.
Many of the colored were children, and not
residents.
Our population is about 300 black and white;
during the years mentioned above, thero was
a great influx of population, owing to Army
movements, See. I sincerely beliovn that the
Eastern portion of Florida, taken in the aggro-
gate, can compete with tho healthiest portion
of the globe; its statistics, I aiu curtain, would
prove so if collected.
Business is steady and fair. Our farmers and
planters are waiting on the arrival of our mer
chants and their goods.
The red bug is very injurious to tho cotton,
but it will turn out fair crops. Yours, &c.
The Northern Mail.—On Tuesday even
ing we received Now York papers of Friday
and Saturday morning, by the steamboat from
Charleston. By tho U. 9. Mail, yesterday, the
latest papers which came to band from Now
York, were thoso of- Friday, wltilo tho letter
mail of both days wero received. Ilow docs
this happen ? Wo aro told by a gentleman
who left Charleston on Friday, that tho Wil
mington Boat with tho Northern Mail arrived
about 7 o'clock that morning, giving sufficient
tirre to assort and send everything fiir Savan
nah. Perhaps thu mail-hag containing the pa-
par* wero left somewhere tho other sido of
Charleston. Indeed this is the most probable,
as tho Post Master of Charleston is very prompt
in sending on our mails when they reach him
in season, and we inny as wall add, that tho
new contractor on thu line, is as prompt in de
livering ilium here.
Mr. Webster's Speech.—Wo publish to-day
an extract from Mr. Webster’s great speech
at the Into Rochester Agricultural Meeting.
Some of oilx free trade acquaintances may find
instruction in it.
Theatre.—The Thespians,assisted by Mr.
a nd Mrs. Isherwooii and Mr. Henry, will play
to-uight the popular pieces of"Victorine,” and
“ Why don’t she Marry ?" These Comedies
will be lively and ngrecuhlc.
Liberty County.—We have not yet receiv
ed the particulars of tho election for Governor
and members of Congress in Liberty county.
Will some of our friends plcasd send it to us.
Southern Liteiurv Mehsenoer. —Tho
number of this monthly for October, 1813, is
received. It is as usual very well printed,
and well filled with the ordinary amount of
interesting matter. “ Tho Editors Table” ap
pears to ho rather deficient in interest. It may
be found on the table of thu Savuiiudh Read
ing Room.
Maryland Election.—Our rejoicing was
not too early. Maryland isu Whig Statu. The
statement furnished in advanco of tho mail
from the National Intelligencer, was incorrect,
as u reference to thu final returns this morning
prove. Tho Senate has a majority of 5 Whigi
Tho Houso of 12 Whigs. Last year tho House
had n majority of 12 Locos.
O* Elections in Pennsylvania took place
on thu IQtli instant. Wo expect this yorir, lit
tle or .nothing favorable from that Stato. In
New Jersey, elections were held on tho saino
day. This gnllant little Stuto will doubtless
give us cheoring returns. Elections in Ohio
also took place on the 10th.
O’ The only daughter of tho Into Cnpla
Lawrkncr, of thoU. S. Navy, died a few
weeks sinco at Florence. Shu was tho wife of

The Election in Georoia— The Doctrine
of Instruction.—How that the oloction is noar-
ly decided, it may not bo unprofitable to refer
back to the proceedings of the last Lcgisla-
turo which passed resolutions politically and
personally offensive, with regard to our worthy
Senator, tho Ilonorahlo J. M. Berrien. Does
not (list Legislature stand rebuked, most gravo-
ly rebuked beforo the people? Is it tint con-
victed of high misdotnoauors, and bus tho poo-
plo sustained it# proceedings? Wo havo over
maintained that tho doctrino of instruction was
tho most dangerous horesy afloat, that it
aimed at tho integrity of Congross, and at tho
corner stono of our political structure, and that
Georgia was not prepnred to embrace a the
ory so abhorrent to hor really republican
principles. Pity it is that tho Locos did not
follow tho nnblo example of tho Whigs when
they were in power, who when tho State had
just givon hor veto of 7,000 majority against
tho 11 Northern man with Southern principles,”
did not even entertain striously tho proposi
tion to instruct Mr. Cuthbert, n man who, so
far as wo know, performed no services of Jm
portanco while in his seat, who was hu-
(ritually absent from it till near tho close of tho
session, and who ono year, repaired thithor
only 12 days before tho expiration of the ses
sion, a man who was more notorious for ab
senteeism than any one since tho formation of
tho Government, who was so shamefully dcre
lictin his duty, as to offend his own political
friends. This man, wo say, was not instruct
ed by a Legislature with a Whig majority.
They had too much regard for tho Constitu
tional rights of the minority to imitato the Vir
ginia example. It was reserved however, for
Senator Berrien, a man whose immense ser
vices Imvo been publicly acknowledged
throughout tho length nf tho land, to bo the ob
ject of resolutions of a furious opposition who
would have been glad to supply hi* placo from
among their own number. It was reserved
fora man whose public estimation nnd privato
character, whoso position not only as a Sena
tor, but as one in tho very front rank of Sena
tors, entitled him to exemption from such as
saults, to bo aimed at—nnd now behold tho ro-
suit. How impotent, how idlo has been the
attempt, and how truly has it recoiled upon
his antagonists.
Where nn\v are all the arguments to prove
the right of instruction ? Will not tiio rule
work both ways? See a State Legislature
with a Whig majority almost unprecedented
in tho U. States, and see W. T. Colquitt in the
U. S. Senate. He docs not represent tho ma
jority. All tho reasoning Hint shows that tho
constitutional term of a U. S. Scnutor mny bo
varied to suit tho humor of ephemeral ninjori-
is »• good this-year, as it was last. If it
was tho voico of tho people thon, it is so now.
If tiie appeal to tho people was against Senator
Berrien then, it U against Air. Colquitt now.
Air. Colquitt and Air. Black were very active,
it is said, in getting up these instructions
against Air. Berrien; will thoy now sip tho
chalice that they imvo with so much zeal and
fervor commended to tho lips of another? Aye,
will thoy do it ? Air. Coi.quirr is opposed to
the Land Distribution, is against a Bank, against
Henry Clan, against ovory thing Whig, lie
is in an nlarming minority in his Stale, will he
not resign ? Wo answnr no!! Ho will not
resign, and tho Whig Legislature will not in
struct him out of his seat. Such a measure they
are incapnblo of adopting. They wero above
it when Alfred Cutubert was Senator, and
they havo too much regard for tho Constitution
to do It now. But if ever thero was a political
measure deliberately consigned to public re
probation, thon is tho proceeding of tho lust
Legislature in relation to Judge Berrien.
Alore we will not any at this time, than to con-
gratulute opr Senator upon tho result. If any
one in tho Stale has reason to rejoice over tiio
election, he has. If he had not resisted theso
encroachments, if he had resigned, his parly
would novor have forgiven him fur it. But
our prediction that hu would not allow tiio Re
public to receive any detriment at his hands,
has proved correct, and any man might envy
him the satisfaction ho will enjoy in again
taking his seat in the United State* Scnato.
O’ A grand entertainment has been givon
to Air. Everett, our minister to England, at
Hereford, and an nddress was presented by tho
Afayor nnd Corporations of that city. Air. E.
arquited himself with his usual grace and
ability,

The Bunks und principal

Bank notes on deposite, or in payment, after
tho 18th inst., except at tho spociu value. It
was feared this measure would causo n still
greater depreciation on our Bai^t notes, but I
am happy to say this, is not tho enso. On tho
contrary, such is the confidonco of capitalists
in* this description of funds, that largo invest
ments are being mado and are now sought, at
II to 124 percent, discount. I incline to tho
opinion, that Bank notes of tho State will not
he more than G to 10 por cent discount during

ffj* Tho Lexington (Ky.) Reporter responds
in tho following terms to the proposition to
hold a Alnss Whig Convention in Baltimore,
in Aluy next. Tho Whigs throughout tho en
tire length nnd breadth of thu lund appear to
think and feel with one mind and one heart ou
all tho leading matters connected with tho
coming Presidential election. Tho suutiment
of the groat Whig party, so warmly and unani
mously conccn'.rutcd upon IIenrv Clay as tho
matt of tlioir choice, impnrta harmony ovory
where and is tho sure earnest of triumphant
success:
By tho annexed proceedings of tho Whigs
of thu city of Baltimore, in general meeting as
sembled last week, it will bo sedn that it is re
commended that a Notional Whig Convention
of Young AIcii bo held in this city on Thursday
tho second of May 1844, tosunction, rntify, and
S ivq additional otloct to tho nominations oftlio
National Whig Convention which is to assent-
bio on tho 1st of Alny.
We have not seen a political movement for
sojiio time that will be more gratifying to tho
Whigs every where limn tho ono indicated.
Tho Young Alen’s Baltimore Convention in
1840 is still fresh in tho recollection of tho
country ; and it is not too much to sny that of
all tho elements of victory, which incorporated
themselves in that magnificent struggle, tho
Young Alen's Convention ofBaltimoro claimed,
and justly claimed, a conspicuous placo. It
awakened a feeling in tho country, which, so
fur from ubating, gathered strength and intensi
ty until that glorious contost terminated in tri
umph and joy.
The Convention of Ratification which mccta
tho day nfter tho Convention of Nomination,
will open tho great contosts of J844, and, wo
doubt nut, will inspire a degreo of energy nnd
enthusiasm throughout tho land fully equal to
that which illustrated tho campaign of 1840.
Wo ahull hear again, we presume, theso im-
tnonso gatherings of tho Whigs denounced by
tho Locos, but it will be as iuipossiblo to stop
that “Ball" when once in motion, as to roll
heck the current of the ‘‘Father of Waters "
Tho Whigs of tho country nro under deep
obligations to their brethren of Baltimore, not
only for this admirable conception, hut for tho
generous and hospitable invitation which is ex
tended to all. How many can Kentucky send
up to thu "Monumental City" on this groat oc
casion ?
(D* The Salem Register expresses itself in
the following terms in relation to tho statement
recontly mndo in a Now York pnper that a
largo quantity of carpeting for tho Houso of
Representatives at Washington hod been or
dered from England:
I* not the hbovo announcement disgraceful,
and nn insult to tho country ? Aro there no
enrpots mndo in America, fit to bo trodden
upon hy tho Representatives of tho Amoricnn
people? Will tho people feel honored to see
tho floors of tlioir National Capitol covered
with Brussels carpeting—tho production of
foreign workmen ? Will they be pleased to
have the public money sent out oftlio country
to oncourago foreigners, in disparagement of
the skill of tlioir own artisans, when it ought
to bo spent for tho encouragement and protec-
iton of American genius and industry ? Wo
know not who is responsible for this insult to
the country; but wliuovor lie or thoy mny be,
hanislinioiit would he bui a just punishment
for the offence.
Not only are our industrious artisans insult
ed by this transaction, but thu spirit, if not tho
letter oftlio law, has been violated. In 1826,
Congress enacted a law which manifestly in
tended that all furniture purchased for tho
f iubiic buildings should ho as far as prnctica-
do, of American or Domestic Manufacture.
Why then this order lor Brussels carpoting,
when Lowell or DanvcrR, or Connecticut, or
hundreds of other Atnoricau workmen, could
furnish specimens of American skill good
enough for any body’s use ? Tho administra
tion seems to ho going buck to Van Biiron
times in every thing, even to "Imperial Wil-
tons," "Imperial Saxons," "Royal Wiltons"
and "Brussels" carpetings ! Well mny wo ex
claim with the honest and much slandered
Ogle—‘Was it not "practicable" to obtain A-
merican or Domestic carpeting for tiio uso of
the Representatives' Hall? No gentloman
dnre affirm that. Thon why riolote the luw in
purchasing Foreign carpels? Aro there no
carpets made in tho United States of texture
firm enough, nnd of colors sufficiently gaud
to please tho eye of a “democratic President
Are American weavers, and dyers, and manu
facturers, too dull nnd stupid to mako n docent
Republican carpet? Is Amorican wool too
conrsq or too fine—too long or too short, that
American mechanics cannot form a carpet out
of it genteel enough for democratic foot to soil ?
Why does John Tyler (or whoever else had
the ordering of this mnttar) prefer Royal and

This was nn notion brought under the fol-
lowing circumstances:
In Ine venr 1838, tho Legislature passed nn
act providing a fund for tho Education of llio
Indigent Deaf nnd Dutqb. Tho not provided
fhr the appointment of n Commissioner, to take
clmrgo of the Amd, and to perform tho other
dutiea presented by tho act.
Under tho provisions of this act, the defend
ant, Sinclair, was appointed Commissioner by
tho Governor, and by tho act ho was to hold
his appointment during tho pleasure of tho
Governor, nnd to give bond nnd security lor
tho fuithflil discharge of Iris duties. In com
pliance with this law, the dofendunt, Sinclair,
as principal, nnd tho other two defendants us
securities on tho 7th of November, 18-10, exe
cuted the boud, tho subject matter or contro
versy.
Sinclair had received Ills appointment ns
Commissioner, some time before tiio oxecution
of tho bond, nnd had previous to its execution,
received into his hands, a very considerable n-
mount of motley in his character of Commis
sioner ns aforesaid.
On tho first nf November, 1810, ho mndo his
report to tha Legislature, and iu that report, ho
stutos that there was thon in Ilia hands, tho
sum of three thousand nino hundred nnd ten
dollars, utioxpondud, of nionoy that ho had re
ceived as commissioner aforesaid. In the
month of Mny, 1841, ho rocoivcd from tho
Treasurer ofthoAmcrican Asylum for Deaf and
Dumb, ut Hartford, Conncctiuut, n certificate of
Deposits, for tho sum of two thousnnd dollars,
nmi which cortificato find been forwarded to
said Treasurer hy said Sinclair, previous to
the execution of tho present homi, and was re
turned to him because in could not be disposed
of on favorable terms in tiio Northern markot.
It was not pretondod tlmt aitlior tho sum of
llirco thousand nino hundred and ten dollars,
or the cortificato of two thousand dollars, wero
oven accounted for by Sinclair.
Wlion tho bond was offered in ovidonco, nn
objection was made on the ground of a misroci-
taf. It appeared that tho bond recited that tho
act under which tho bond was taken, aud tho
nppointmant of Sinclair mndo was passed on
tiio 17th of Docombar, 1838, when in truth, tho
act was passed on thu 20th of that mouth.
Tho Court decided, that tlioro was no ne
cessity or reciting either tho day, month or
yoar, 011 which tho act passed, and that it was
competent to aver und prove, tlmt tho act pass
ed ou a different day from tlmt recited in the
bond.
Tho Court charged tho jury, that if they be
lieved from tiio ovidencc, tlmt tho sum of three
tliotisnml nine hundred nnd ton dollars, wero in
tho hands of Sinclair, nn tho day of tiio execu
tion of the bond ; and ho had failed to account
for tho saino to thu Stato, tho defendants wero
liublo for that amount; and ns to thoiiinuunt of
thu cortificato of deposit, if the jury wore of
opinion, that tho certificate wus returned to
Sinclair in tho month of May, 1841, and tlmt ho
hml failed to account for tlint sum, thoy would
find for the plaintiffs, that amount also, to
gether with interest on both sums, from tho
first of November, 1841.
Tho jury found fot tho plaintiff, five thou
sand nine hundred nnd ton dollnrs, with inter
est from tho first of Novombor, 1841.

Maryland Election.—Tho victory of Ma
ryland is ono tlmt colls for a fueling of dovout
gratitude; and warrants tokens of rejoicing of
no common kind. Wo had hoped for somo
odvnntngo, somo gain in tho Stato, boenuso wo
could porceivo tlmt thoy had begun to call up
on thanainoof Henry Clay. Tlmt in, and
with questions of local jogard, the spirit that is
to aniumto us in 1844, was finding placo, was
working its good work. But wo confess wo did
not nnticipato such a glorious result, nor could
it Imvo uoen calculated ou by our friends.
Thoy themselves did not know the power of
tho clmrm thoy wero using.
Onr Baltimore corrcsdoudont wrote to us ou
Monday ns follows: "Our oloction takes placo
on Wednesday—wooxpcct to carry tho Stato."
But certainly, ho did not expect to carry the
city, nor to obtein such a distinguished triumph
in tho Stato. Wo linvo always boliovud that
Baltimore wus n Whig city. Mnrylund wo
knew to he a Whig Stale, nnd wo Imvo now
rvidonen of both. This result makes tho Bal
timore Whigs very proud. Thoy ore claim

strength of it, and aro crowing away worso

and to tlioir causo for it! Thoy and tlioir

A Musical Genius.—A traveling friend of
ours rolntod to us tho following incident, which
lie met with on his tour a fow weeks sinco.
Thero cnnio on board the cars at somo obscure
stopping placo betwoon Syracuse and Auburn,
n lad of somo 16 01 20 yunrs, ovidcutly frcsli
from tho hills. His garb, though decont, was
strictly of a " country cut ’; pantaloons reached
to somewhere between his knees and tho tops
of substantial cowliido shoes, towards which
they were strainod by tow string streps; a vest,
whoso brevity disclosed nn imposing array of
waistband buttons; coat hanging perpendicular
from the shoulders and terminating in a skirt
of such narrow dimensions as to bo literally a
tail, nnd a wido brimod straw lint secured by a
string passing under tho chin. Ho was troub
led with no haggago except a ono keyed fluto,
a fifo and a jawshurp, tho first which ho carried
undor his arm, tho second in his Imnd and tho
latter in his pockot.
For tho first fow miles, tho now traveler, os
was natural, displayed much curiosity to under
stand nil tlmt lie saw, making freo to inquire
of all arotiml him, nnd in return informing them
tlmt it was his first journoy on tho rail-road.—
When tho novelty oftlio locomotion had some
what worn off, ho took up his instruments in
turn nnd amused himself with playiing n varie
ty of militia trnining airs, requiring no compen
sation from his hearers, flirtlinr than to mako
some 0110 of them hold in his lap tho ones not
in use. Presently the train stopped at a half
way house, whon all the passengers got out to
lunch nnd our boro among tho rest. After
surveying tho customers and tho fare in tiio
gentlemen’s room,ho strolled into tho. Indies t-
partment and finding there an appreciating au
dience, lm drew up u chair at tho end of tho ta
ble and laying down his fifo and jowslmrp,
commenced some brilliant performances on the
fluto,
