What is Life?
What is Life ? Go ask a mother
Weeping o er her children’s graves,
When they all suoceed each other,
Side by side like puny waves.
What is Life ? Go ask the orphan
When of all his friends bereft,
As he stands beside the coffin.
Mourning o’er the fragment left.
What is Life ? Go ask of friendship,
When it sheds a silent tear,
Pointing out a mournful conscript,
Death is shrouded on a bier.
W hat is Life ? Go ask the fever,
With a thousand victims slain,
Ask if death is sated ever;
Wnile a life on earth remains.
W hat is Life ? But comforts fading,
Years of grief and painful sorrow,
While to-day the heart is lading,
Bring tears to weep to-morrow. c. x.

Being Out—A Right-Hander Badly Invested.
“ Thank you, I don’t care if I do.” said a fast
young man, with a large pressed brick in his
hat as he surged up to the Indian that stands in
front of Van Cott’s tobacco store in Broadway
with a bunch of cast iron cigars in his hand.—
“ ril take one, I smoke sometimes,” and he
reached out to take the proffered weed, but the
Indian wouldn’t give it up. He hung on to the
cigars like grim death. 1 Look here, old copper
head, said the fast young man, “ none ot that, no
tricks upon travellers, or there’ll be a muss, you
and I’ll fall out. Somebody’ll get a punch in the
head.” The Indian said never a word, but held
on to the cast iron cigars. He was calm, digni
fied, unmoved, as an Indian should De, looking
his assailant straight in the face, and no muscle
moving a single hair. “ Yes! yes! Look at me
old featherhead—l’m one of ’em, I’m round, I’m
full weight, potato measure, heaped up,” and he
placed himseif in a position, threw back his coat,
and squared off for a fight.
All the time the Indian said never a word,
looked without the least alarm unwinkingly
straight into the face ol the last young man, still
holding out the cigars in a mighty friendly sort
of way. The young man was plucky and just
condition to resent any sort of insult, or no
sort of insult at all. He was ready to “go in,”
but the calmness and imperturbability ot the In
dian rather cowed him aud he was disposed to
rea-on the matter. “I’ll take one,” said he,
“ csrtainly ; I said so before. I freeze to a good
cigar, I’m one ot the smokers.
My father was one of the smokers, he was;
one of the old sort, and Fm edition number two,
revised and corrected with notes, author’s hand
writing on the title page, and copyright secured.
Yet, TU. take one. All right, old red skin, I'll
take one.” But the Indian said not a word, all
the time looking straight in the face of the last
young man, and holding on to the cigars. “Look
nere, old gimblet-eye, I’m getting riled—my
back’s coming up, and you and I’ll have a turn
—smell of that old copperhead, and he thrust his
fist under the nose of the cast iron Indian, who
raid not a word, moved not a muscle, but kept
right on, looking straight into the face of the fast
young man, as if not caring a fig for his threats,
or taking in at all the odor of his fist.
“Very well,” said the fast young man, ‘ I’m
agreable, I’m around, look to your ugly mug, old
pumpkin-head,” and be let go a right-hander,
square against the nose of the cast iron Indian,
who never moved an inch, nor stirred a muscle,
looking with calm, unchanged dignity, as before
in the face of his enemy.
“ Hallo,” cried the fast young man, in utter be
wilderment, as he reeled back half way across
the side-walk, with the blood dripping from his
skinned knuckles; “ Hallo! here's a go, here’s
an eye-opener, here’s a thing to hunt for round a
corner. I’m satisfied, old iron-face, /am. Enough
said between gentlemen.” Just then he caught
sight of the tomahawk and scalping knife in the
belt of the savage, and his hair began to rise.—
The Indian seemed to be making up his mind to
use them. “ Hold on,” cried the fast your.g man,
as he dodged round the awuing post. “ Hold
on, none ot that, I’ll apologise, I squat, knock un
der. “ Hold on I say,” he continued, as the In
dian seemed to scowl with peculiar fierceness.—
“ Hold on. Very well, I’m off, I’ve business
down the street, people at home waiting tor me,
can’t stay,” and he bolted like a quarter horse
down Broadway, and his cry of “ hold on,” died
away as he vanished beyond the lamp lights up
Columbia street.
Aunt Beoky at Saratoga.
We are indebted to one of our citizens, just re
turned from his summer wanderings, for the fol
lowing anecdote of Aunt Becky, the intelligent
and faithful seivant of Mr. C., of this city :
Last summer, she attended her master and
family on their visit to the north; they remain
ed for a considerable time at Saratoga, and whilst
there, formed quite sociable and triendly rela
tions with Mr. 8., a Baptist minister, and his
wife. It was the constant custom of Mr. and
Mrs. B. to have lamily worship in their room,
morning and evening ; and Aunt Becky asked
and obtained permission to enjoy it with them.
Very soon Mrs. B’s. mind became burdened on
account of Becky’s remaining in slavery, and she
resolved to speak to her on the subject. Mr. B.
opposed this, for, said he, we are friendly with
her master and mistress; he though not ot the
Christian faith, yet freely permits bis servant to
worship with us ; he must, therefore, be a kind
and good man. His opposition only deferred the
matter, for Mrs. B’s. conscience was burdened
and she must relieve it. She finally commenced
with Aunt Becky’s master, candidly telling him
in advance, thatahe intended to persuade Aunt
Becky to quit bis service and become free. Mr.
C. at once gave her full permission to do so, and
added, moreover, that as all her arguments would
certainly fail, she might add to them, the further
inducement, that he would give his bond to pay
Becky a life annuity, of three hundred dollars, if
she chose to remain at the north.
With this permission and promise, Mrs. B.
proceeded to her ta-k. Becky listened calmly to
her statement and persuasions, and then, com
pletely astonished her, by asking if she thought
she was acting like a Christian.
Why not, says Mrs. B ?
Because, says Becky, you are intimate and
friendly with Missus, and yet trying to persuade
her servant to leave her.
But Mrs. B. could not bare to see an intelli
gent creature as Becky was in slavery, and j
thought she was doing right. Becky did’nt think j
so; she was better off with her master; she was
kindly treated, was well provided for, had as <
much freedom as she wanted, would rather
at the South, and as for such free niggers as she
had seen at the North, she couldn’t associate
with them any how.
Mrs. 8., seeing that her arguments had failed, i
then ventured to try the effect of the annuity, so I
she told Becky that if she would stay at the i
north she should have three hundred dollars a
year for her support.
Becky wanted to know where the monev was
to come from. Mrs. B. assured her that it was
already provided lor.
But Becky must know who had provided it.—
Upon being told that her master had faithfully 1
promised to give his bond lor it, she bluntly told
Mrs. B. that he was only making fun of her, for, !
said she, master knows I wouldn’t leave his chil
dren for three thousand dollars.
UpoN this, Mrs. B. abandoned the contest, an 4
eand'dly confessed to the company that her ef
fort completely failed; she also good humoredly
told all that Becky had said to her, but insisting
that this case is only an exception to the rule of
slavery, she still holds herself ready for any other
case ot conscience w hich may present itself.
We freely admit that this case is an exception,
in one respect. That is. in the fitness of the
subject for freedom. There are very few of the
colored race who are so intelligent, so capable of
providing for themselves, are in any way so fit
ted for freedom, as Becky is. If, therefore, the
philanthropists will continue their efforts to im
prove upon the Jamaica failure, their next expe
riment of the effect of freedom upon the colored
face should be tried upon such of them ■
as sbe is. If it fail with these, (as private ac
counts from Liberia seem to forbode) we may
then venture to hope that even fanaticism may
become content to leave the mass of duller slaves
to the care and protection of their owners.—

In a rape case before the common pleas at
Lowell, Mass , last week, criminal term, justice
Bishop presiding, B. F. Butler asked H. C. Snow,
of Groton, a witness on the stand, if he belonged to
the secret society of Know Nothings. At first
Snow denied that he did, but finally, after con
sulting council, answered in the affirmative -
and a long cross examination elicited further an
swers. He had been a member of the society
four or five months. Upon joining it he took an
oath, “so help me God.” There are two degrees
in the society. Had seen at the Meetings Dr.
Norman Smith and Deacon John Pingree, two
other witnesses in the case. Refused to tell the
form of initiation, because it criminated him and
exposed him to punishment from the society.
Judge Bishop, said it was a startling revelation
that men took secret oaths which they regarded
as above the oaths administered in the courts.
A. M. Gage, another witness, testified that he
had belonged to the secret order but left three
months since. The kind of oath administered he
said, was like that published in the Boston Post
ot October 25. Dr. Smith, above mentioned
admitted that he belonged to the know nothing
society, and that it exercises a political and re
ligious influence ; a Roman Catholic cannot be
admitted, although he be an American boru citi
zen, nor a Protestant if his wife be a Catholic.
Could not tell the form of initiation because it
would expose him to punishment • and for the
same reason could not tell what office he held in
the lodge at Groton.
The Crystal Palace has put on the shutters
anJ closed shop. Its success has r.ot been what
it should have been. The Palace has done a
great deal of good and great deal of harm. It
doubled the profits of our hotels, quadrupled the
business of our dry-goods men, but it has ruined
the stockholders, soured our speculators, and giv
en low spirits to Wall-street. The Palace has
sunk nearly a million of dollars. What remains
of the enterprise will be brought to the hammer,
and rushed off at auction. The building is one
of the finest in America. It cost some $300,000,
and will probably sell for what old stoves do—
a cent a pound ; that is, the iron portion will sell
fcr this; as for the glass and other arrangements, it
is very probable that they will go for a song—
just enough not to make it profitable to make a
bondfire of them, and burn them up. That the
Palace should have ended in a failure is to be re
gretted. In the way of art, it advanced the
country a whole century. It has increased the
national taste, and given us a desire for refine
ments ot life, that must exert a testing and bene
ficial effect on the republic. —New York Dutch

Kansas Territory.
The excitement among the squatters on the
slavery question, which awhile ago threatened
to issue in the shedding of blood, has passed
away. The thirst for filthy lucre seems to have
displaced all other feelings in the minds of the
contestants. A correspondent of the New York
Times, from Fort Levenworth, the seat of gov
ernment of the territory, writes as follows: date
Oct. 23rd.
There is not much concern manifested at pres
ent on the subject of Slavery. The fact is, the
desire to get rich by speculating in city shares,
town lots, and squatters’ claims, seems to have
engrossed every other consideration. There are
at least a dozen large sized cities laid out in the
Territory already. At every hotel in Weston,
Kansas, Westport, and all around, the greatest
variety of city plots are exhibited on all the
walls, accompanied by rival statements of the
immense natural advantages attaching to each.
The Missourians, particularly, are stimulated to
a paintul degree by the most extravagant vi
sions of territorial aggrandizement. They were
very much excited a few months since by appre
hensions of Northern immigration and Abolition
fanaticism; but that derangement has been sup
planted by another, which it is to be hoped may
be equally harmless and short lived as its pre
decessor. In all probability the greater portion
of the influence ot the civil authorities here
will be exerted against the introduction of Slave
ry-
He adds, however, there are several officers of
the Government here, and several influential
parties in Missouri, who will fight for Slavery
to the last. Senator Atchison, who resides in
Platte City, only a few miles distant; General
Strongfellow of Wirton, and other politicians ot
Missouri; together with Mr. Woodson ot Vir
ginia, the Territorial Secretary, Judge Elmore of
Alabama, one of the Associate Judges, and pro
bably Judge Lecompte, of Maryland, the Chief
Justice, who has not yet arrived, will do their
best to rally a Southern or Pro-Slavery party.
The following, by Tom Hood, is one of the
most remarkable stanzas in the language. It is
one of the last of “ Miss Kilmansegg and her
Precious Leg

| Gold ! gold ! gold ! gold !

Molten, graven, hammered, tolled,
Heavy to get and light to hold,

Machine Poetry.— The author of the follow

John. He is in a fairway to become as celebra

A Moral Lesson for Croakers.— There is
a moral in the following anecdote which is pe
culiarly applicable at the present time:
“An accentric lawyer, named Burgess, many
years ago lived in a New England village, and
became quite famous for his ‘skeptical notion ’
Attending a town meeting, after its adjournment
he lingered among the groups of substantial
farmer deacons who composed it, and listened to
the prevailing conveisation. The bad weather,
the fly, the rot, the drought and wet were dis
cussed, when some one turned to Burgess, and
asked, ‘How comes on your garden ?” • I never
plant anything,’ replied Burgess, with a solemn
lace ; “I am am afraid even to put a potato in
the ground.” ‘ It’s no waller,’ groaned one
of the most eminently piejra persons present,
it s no wonder, for a man who disbelieves in re
ligion could not expect to have his labors bless
ed. lam not afraid of failing in reward for
my work,’ replied Burgess; ‘ but I am afraid the
. agricultural labor would make me profane If 1
planted a single potato, what woud be the result?
Why I should get up in the morning, look about
and growl— Its going to rain, and it will ruin
my potato;” then I should in dry weather say
-“The drought will kill my potato; then I
should be unhappy because the ‘rot’ might des
troy my potato; in fact gentlemen,” concluded
Burgess, in a solemn manner, “I should be airaid
to do anything that would induce me constantly
to distrust Providence. The reproof was keen
ly felt by many present; and for months after
ward, the farmers with a fare of Burgess before
their eyes, talked of rather than
the evils attending labors.”
A good old Dutchman and his frow set up till
gaping time, when the lattei#fter a full stretch
iu the above operation, said:
‘I wish 1 was in heben.’
Hans also yawned and replied:
‘1 vish I vash in tbe still house.’
I he eyes ot Sallie flew wide open as she ex
claimed:
I pe pound for you, you always wish yourself
in the pest place.’

Death of Dr. James D. Mackie.
We had hoped that we had announced the
death ol the last victim of the terrible disease
which has lately swept away so many of our
citizens and of our personal friends, and it is
with feelings of deep regret that we are called up
on to record the death of one who has stood in the
front ranks among the combatants of the dread
ful disease. Dr. James D. Mackie expired at
the residence of his family, on the Sand Hills,
yesterday evening, a victim- to the epidemic
which he so successfully encountered in his prac
tice, and which could only be appeased by the
sacrifice of his life. Not only was he untiring
in his ministrations to the poor and destitute, as
a physician, during the recent sickness, but also
as a member of the Good Samaritan Association,
of which body he was Secretary, he contributed
no little to their relief. In his social relations,
Dr.- Mackie leaves a void not easily filled.—
Os varied powers of conversation, and rare fa
cility in adapting himself to all classes of society;
intelligent, and with refined tastes and feelings,
he won his way into the hearts of all who knew
him. As a Physician, he bid fair to attain an
emminent position, and the profession have sus
tained a loss in the death of one so full of promise
for future excellence.
The mysterious providence of God has seen fit
to remove him from the scene of his earthly la
bors in the prime and vigor of manhood, and al
most at the commencement of his career of use
fullness to his feilow-beings. But while we
mourn his loss and will cherish his memory, we
will still remember, that if he has gone from us
thus early, it is to receive the reward promised
to those who have, as he has so lately done, de
voted themselves to the relief of the sick and
the poor,and to the visitation “ol the fatherless
and widows in their affliction.”
Suicide of a Poet.
A private telegraphic despatch was received
at this office on Wednesday, which announced
the suicide, on Monday evening, of William
North, a popular tale writer and poet, in New
York City. We are informed by his friend, Mr.
James Redpath, that the deceased is by birth an
Englishman, and a relative of Lord North, of
Revolutionary celebrity. He is the author of
several novels; which, however, were publish
ed in England. He has been nearly three years
in this country, and during that time has become
widely and favorably known by his contribu-
Putnam’s, Graham’s and Harper’s Ma
gazines. Just previous to his death, he com.
pleted an autobiographical romance, entitled
“ The Slave of the Lamp. 7 ’
He was 29 years of age.
Col. A. O. Andrews —The Charleston
Courier of the 10th inst. says : Col. A. O. An
drews returned home from Washington on Tues
day night, from his mission as the Delegate of
the Chamber of Commerce to the Post Office
Department, in reference to our mail difficulties.
Throughout his agency the differences between
the Department end the South Carolina Railroad
Campany, have been amicably and satisfactorily
settled, and a contract concluded until the first
of January, by which our former mail facilities
will be continued, with a good hope of a perma
nent continuance thereof subsequently. Our
community owe the Col. their acknowledge
■ ments for the alacrity and promptitude with
which he obeyed their mandate, and for the
faithful and successful discharge of the responsi
bilities entrusted to him.
Death of Rev. Rufus White.
We regret to learn, (says the Sav. News ) that
the Rev. Rufus White, an Episcopal Clergyman,
formerly of this city, died at Petersbuig, Vir
ginia, on Monday the 30th ult., of consumption.
Mr. White, we believe, was a native of the State
of New York. He was for some time Rector of
St. John’s church in this city. In consequence
of ill health, he relinqnished his charge in this
city, and became connected with the Montpelier
Episcopal Female Institution, near Marietta.—
He lately visited Cuba, in the vain hope of bene
fitting his rapidly declining health, and was re
turning to this city when he was stricken down
by the hand of death.
Destructive Conflagration in Brooklyn, N.
York.
Between one and two o’clock on Sunday morn
ing a fire broke out in a row of eight two-and-a
half story frame buildings, on the north side of
Gates’ avenue, between Downing-street and
Classon avenue, Brooklyn. They were recently
erected by Messrs. Durham it McNevins, and
were just finished but r.ot yet occupied. The
flames spread along the whole range with great
rapidity, being aided by a brisk breeze from the
North, and communicated with three buildings
on the opposite side of the street, owned and part
ly occupied by Mr. Joseph Brooks. The houses
in which the fire originated were totally con
sumed, and those on the South side were so j
much damaged as to be rendered totally unten
antable. The occupants barely escaped with
their lives, not being aware of the danger they
were in, until apprised of the fact by the fire
men, who broke in the doors and succeeded in
carrying some of them out, having become so
much bewildered as not’to know which way to
turn.

Diamond cut Diamond. —The New York
Expl^ss«ys:— * A curious fact has just trans
pired that rray be setdiTwn as another evidence
of the universal business tact of the prince of
modern sh'ow-men. It appears that, before clos
ing with his American publisher, Redfield, Mr. i
Barnum had sent out MS. copies of his autobi
ography to London, Paris, Madrid, Leipsic and
Stockboimn, and settled his arrangemens with
celebrated European publishers, without ac
quainting any one with the fact.
When Redfield haa concluded his purchase of • 1
the copyright, he also despatched letters to Eu- j ‘
rope, proposing negotiations for the publication <
of editions in various languages of the work in • «
question. Imagine his consternation, when in- I
formed, in reply, that the same work had been J
furnished, by the author, five months before, and .
wa3 already ip. type in Berlin, Paris and Vi- j
enna.
When shown the letters, Barnum frankly ac- !
knowledged the corn, but insisted upon his right
to make any such preliminary contracts. Red
field submitted, of course, and treated to a glass
of water; but he shakes his head whenever he
expects to realize from his copyright among the
parlez-vous and the sauerkrauts
The Louisville Times states that a young gen
tlemen of that city had been tendered a colonel’s
commission in the Russian army, and that he
will probably leave the United States about the
first of February or March, in company with
several other Kentuckians, for St. Petersburg,
unless something else turns up nearer home.
Frightful Explosion at East Boston.—
The boiler attached to the steam engine at the
Sectional Dry Dock, East Boston, exploded on
Friday, doing much damage. Mr. Austin, the
engineer, was thrown against a vessel with great
force, ami is not expected to survive. Fragments
; were thrown in every direction. One piece
; struck a horse on Lewis street, killing the ani
| mal. Another penetrated a moulding shop near
by, and nearly cost three workmen their lives.
The Official Catholic Organ.— The Catho
lic Vicar General of New York, having an
nounced that henceforth the Freeman’s Journal
is to be recognised as the “official paper” of
Archbishop Hughes, the editor, in referring to
! the announcement, intimates that it imposes cer
i tain restraints upon him to which he has hither
: to hesitated to submit, but to which he has at
length acceded. The Irish American, another
1 Catholic paper, is not at all pleased with this
I official endorsement.
Passengers.— The Savannah Repub ican
i says: The steamship Knoxville, arrived yester
-1 day. brought 275 passengers—125 of whom came
jin the cabin, and 150 in the steerage. The cars
| by the Central Railroad, the stages, steamboats,
packets, and ind.ed every other mode of con
veyance, are contributing to fill up our lately
deserted city, and hurry and bustle is now the
order of the day. Housekeepers, as well as com
mercial folks, are having their hands full of busi
ness ; and things are getting just as they should
be, by the growing influx of absentees and stran
»gers.
Under the arrangements made by the Nicara

| Extract from a letter to the New Yo. k Times,
written at Paris :
, ; ‘‘Now Ido not exaggerate—l do not strain the
, sac s wben I say that in the entire British press
we have not a friend—not one that may be cori
! 1 sidered as an American Advocate. And why ?
i j For the plain reason that the public sentiment
. : in Great Britain is against us. They flatter us
for our trade; they may be shy of a quarrel with
I us at present, but if the press be any indication
of public feeling, then the people of the three
kingdoms, at heart, dislike, fear, hate us. They
dislike our manners; they fear our example;
and they hate our policy. Such is our relation
! to one of the two powers which now hold the
I sceptre of the world.”
The Cherokee Nation —John Ross, Presi
dent of the Cherokee Nation, sent to the Na
; tional Council, on the 2d October, his annual
message. He refers, in the opening paragraph,
j to the necessity of seeking the guidance of that
Being who holds the destinies of nations and in
dividuals under his supreme control, and then
| directs attention to the fact that during the past
season many portions of the country have been
j visited by severe drought. “Fruitful showers
have been withheld; the crops have been cut
short, and it is seriously apprehended that among
portions of the people there will be great des
| titution, and it may become necessary to devise
some means for thefr relief.” He congratulates,
them, however, that in some locations the crops
have been very abundant, affording the nope that
i supplies for the relief of the destitute may be
found within their own borders.
The message then pays a proper tribute to the
memory of Thomas Foreman and Walter Adair,
| two distinguished Cberokeea, who have depart
ed this life within the past year, and sketches
j their public services. At the time of their death

Wreck of a Charleston Vessel. — We learn
from a letter, dated Belfast, the 30th ult.. receiv- i
ed in this city yesterday by the Atlantic’s mail, [
the melancholy intelligence that the ship Brother
j Jonathan, Captain Tucker, which sailed from
Liverpool for this port on the 26th ult., with a
j valuable cargo, was ashore near Portaferry, Coun
ty Down, Ireland, and would become a total
wreck. She reports that she had been in- con- j
tact off Cape Clear with the ship William Penn,
from Liverpool for Aden.
The letter makes no mention of the officers or
crew. We presume therefore that they were
safe, especially as the ship was run ashore after
the collission. Mr. Belcher, the chief officer,
and Messrs. Boag, A. G. Whitney and Sanders, :
part of the crew, are Charlestonians.—Charles
ton Courier , 16/a inst.
Flour to China. —This is a cheering feature,
“California sending Flour to China,” for instead j
of our gold leaving the country to pay for tea,
sugar and spices, Bilks, shawls, and other neces- !
saries and luxuries, we send the products of our j
soil and the labor of our hands. This is what ,
builds up our State. Four thousand quarter sacks i
of California flour from the Eureka ills were !
sold yesterday by the Messrs. Friedlander & Co.,
at satisfactory prices, (about $9 per bbl.) to ship
to Chi la. Other shipments of like character
will shortly follow; and thus, at length, California !
has become an exporter of breadstuff*.—San
Francisco Herald.

The Regatta.
Had it been possible for the energetic mem
bers ©f the South Carolina Regatta Club to have
selected a day calculated to attract large numbers
to view tbe sports so liberally provided by them,
it would have been difficult to have found one
better adapted for the purpose than yesterday.
An unmistakable black frost having occurred tbe
previous night, a bracing influence was imparted
to the atmosphere, which contributed a certain
buoyancy of spirits to our citizens, inducing them,
for the occason, to leave their business and seek
some spot from whence they could observe all
that was passing in our harbor. Consequently,
at an early hour,crowds were assembled in vari
ous places, and the harbor was covered with craft
oi all sizes, filled with spectators eager to enjoy
the amusements in store for them.
At a quarter before eleven o’clock, precisely’,
the booming of the Cuttei’sguu gave notice that
the first race for the day—tor sail-boats, for a
prize of sloo—as about to take place, aud at
eleven another gun started the contending par
ties—the yacht Evelyn, 7 tons,entered by Hugh
E. Vincent, Esq., and the sloop boat Pet. 6 tons,
entered by F. N. Bonneau, Esq. The start was
effected after one tack, and was a remarkably
pretty one—no bungling whatsoever having
taken place—and indicated that the club had
thoroughly become acquainted with their duties,
and were determined tnat no contretemps whatso
ever should occur to mar the sports of the day.
The wind, which was from the northwest,
and blew pretty stiffly, at the sart was dead aft,
and was regarded as affording a good opportunity
to test the merits of the respective boats. From
the starting point—the steamer G. W. Coffee,
anchored off the Battery—to Cummins’ Point
Buoy, the distance is about four aud a half miles
in a direct line, and it was first rounded by the
Evelyn, both boats having as much sail as they
could well carry, and the result of the race being
very doubtful. On tbe second tack, however,
after rounding the buoy, the Pet carried away
her jib sheet, anJ lost sometime necessarily in
reeving a new one, which of course, materially
affected her chance of success. Both boats beat
very prettily up against the wind and tide, the
Evelyn eventually passing the Judges first, hav
ing run the distance in one hour and forty-five
minutes, and wou the race by 3 mindtes and 52
seconds, which time, however, after deducting
the difference in tonnage, was reduced to 1 minute
and 22 seconds.
The Evelyn is a beautifully built boat and
well deserves her laurels. The Pet, also, not
withstanding she was entered at a very late hour
to make up a race, and was not exactly in sail
ing trim, had many admirers, and it is the opin
ion of good judges that had not her jib sheet been
carried away she would have won.
Tne excitement attending this interesting race
having somewhat subsided, at two o’clock the
Sunny South, 48 feet, canoe, 8 oars, entered by
J. Hamilton Couper, Esq., of Georgia, and the
Herald, 46 feet 6 inches, canoe, 12 oars, entered
by Thomas Bailey, Esq., of Edisto, appeared at
the steamer prepared to start in the first class
race for row boats for a prize of SSOO, Isaac R.
Wilson. Jr. Esq ; of St. Paul’s having, in canse
quence of the roughness of the sea, withdrawn
Younger Sister, the 10 oared canoe, 45 feet, en
tered by him.
Although the sailing match had created some
sensation, this race was regarded with far greater
interest, it having been reduced to a match be
i tween Georgia and South Carolina; and, con
trary to the expectations of the majority of the
spectators, the Herald, steered by C. Bailey,Esq.
1 —who steered the Tariff, on a former occasion—
after a well-contested and spirited race, came in
two lengths ahead, having run the distance in
six minutes and twenty-six seconds, and retriev
ing the laurels of South Carolina. Georgia, how
ever, nobly did her duty, and Mr, Couper’a de
feat reflects no discredit whatsoever on his boat
or crew. It is the fortune ol war, and the con
quered bows gracefully to the decision. We cor
dially wish him better success in his race to-day.
The last race of the day was for Third Class
Row Boats, prize S2OO, and was contested by
the Susan Clark, 40 feet, canoe, S oais, entered
by Ephraim William Clark, Esq., of James Is
land, and the Josephine, 40 feet, plank, 8 oars,
! entered by Wm. R. Webb, Esq., of Charleston.
The Susan Clark was the winner by 8 lengths,
and performed the distance in seven minutes and
forty-four seconds. The defeat of the Josephine
is to be attributed, however, to the fact that the
i crew engaged to row in her did not make their
, appearance, and Mr. Webb was compelled to
makeshift with a promiscuous crew. She is a
finely built boat and well manned, is capable of
■ doing service—indeed one ol our Georgia friends
I thought so much of her as to remark that he be
, lieved were she in his hands he could win a
bright reputation for her.
With the last mentioned race, the sports of the
day terminated, and the crowd dispersed highly
■ delighted with their entertainment. We con
, gratulate the members of the Club, and the Stew
ards particularly, on their arrangements, which
were most excellent, and the theme of universal
1 approbation. To-day some first rale spoit may
be anticipated, and we trust that more of the fair
sex will grace the occasion with their presence
i tan we observed yesterday—the coolness of the
atmosphere, doubtless, having had an opposite
, effect on them to what it had on the sterner sex.
1 More Thieving Operations. —We are in
formed, on reliable authority, that a cheapening
operation on the prices of country produce was
1 detected at the plantation of Wm. Faulk, near
Marion, in Twiggs county, on Thursday night
last. Mr. Faulk, with some of his neighbors,
having cause to suspect a depletion of their corn
cribs in a clandestine manner, were on the
watch. Two men, with a two-horse wagon,
1 were encamped in the vicinity. At a proper
hour of the night for such operations, negroes
were seen carrying them bags of corn, for which
they traded, bartering in some cases Cognac
brandy at eighty-seven and a half cents a gallon,
tobaco, &c., at corresponding prices. On being*
interrupted by the owners of the corn,they begg
ed very hard to compromise the matter, and be
released by receiving,AV/A Carolina law , to the
satisfaction of their captors. This being refus-
I ed, they were sateiy deposited in jail at Marion,
| leaving the horses and wagon, and articles of
| traffic, in their hands. The men gave their
1 names as Zachariah and Elias Garis—said that
they were lrom the vicinity of Macon, and
| named some of their/Wcniis in Macon, who, as
they said, would be their security on bail.
Their operations in country produce, are sup
| posed to be a counterpart to those in Clothing,
. Boots, Shoes &c., which recently took place in
! certain parts of our city, by which those articles
were afforded by the sellers at very reduced rates
: —while the railroads have had reason to corn
| plain ol paying lull prices, as their share in those
operations.— Macon Journal , 15/A inst.

riously fled. The Russians seized their guns and
turned them on the Allies. The Scotch remain
ed firm, and other forces arriving, the Russians
were compelled to yield, though they remained
masters of the two forts from which they fired
on the Allies. Three regiments of English Cav
alry were exposed to a cross fire and suffered
terribly. The French acted with great bravery.
The next day they were attacked by MenchikofT
