A False Alarm.
The Charleston train on Wednesday
brought a young lady from that city,
who was reported tohavetheYellow Fe
ver. It was whispered about in the even
ing that her case had been pronounced
dangerous, and that a move was on foot
to have her taken to the suberbs. De
termined to know the whole truth of the
matter we sent a reporter to learn her
exact condition. Judge of our surprise
when wo 'ound the sufferer to be Miss Liz
zie Stanley, the young lady who was run
over last winter, by a dray, in this city,
causing a permanent spinal effection.—
This, with her feeble appearance, and
headache from traveling, had been ta
ken for symtoms of that terrible disease
and rumor, with her hundred tongues,
had reported her in the very arms of
Yellow Jack. Our reporter found her
busily engaged, reading the “Stray
Waif' in the Evening Dispatch, and she
laughed at the idea of being made the
heroine of a fever panic Turing the day
we learn that the young lady was visited
by numbers of the vigilant and prudent
guardians' of the public health, who
acknowledge that we have all been the
victims of rather a funny false alarm.
If a case does make its appearance in
our midst, our readers shall be prompt
ly advised of it. None have yet occur
red, and there is no occasion to appre
hend anything of the kind.
A Thirsty Mull-.
We were standing up yesterday, con
versing with a friend, when we saw a
negro wagoner partaking of LaFayette
cake, which he seemed to relish so
much, that we remarked, it was not of
ten he enjoyed the luxury. Our friend
informed us that we were mistaken—
that lie came to town once a week, and
always treated himself to two or three
slices. He also informed us that one of
his mules, on arriving on Broad street,
invariably laid down, and the only way
he could be got on his feet was to give
him a pint of whisky. Thinking our
friend intended a scU, wo called Sambo
and asked him if such was the fact. His
answer was, with a broad grin, showing
the ivory’s—“ Kie, massa! true for cer
tain—when Bob, (the mule) come to
town lie lay down 'and you may beat
him tell you tired, but lie ain’t guine to
git up tell he git his pint of whisky.”
Health of the Citt. -It is in no
spirit of boasting but with feelings of
gratitude that we invite attention to
the list of interments for the past week,
published in another column. It will
be seen that our city is healthy to a de
gree unequalled by any other city in
the union of the same number of in
habitants. During the week ending
yesterday the total number of inter
ments was ten, of whicli only two were
of white adults—both from the Poor
House and Hospital. By reference to
the table it will be seen that there was
not a single death by fever of any kind.—
No better evidence can be afforded of
the healthiness of our city than such a
bill of mortality at this season of the
year.— Savannah News, V-lth inst.

A LEAF
From the Life Time of n Belle
BY SUSIE SUNFLOWER.
CHAPTKB I.
“ Susie Sunflower ! whoisshe?” asks
! some cross ©ld curmudgeon, as he rubs
bis spectacles, and picks up the Dispatch
j— “ Never heard the name before—
; some new candidate for literary honors
| —Don't fancy it. The women now-a
days are running mad with the pen
j mania. Warrant this Susie Sunflower
j couldn't bake a pudding to save her
life; and yet she will waste several
sheets of foolscap, witli a long drawn
| out account of Theodore Augustus, and
’ Melissa Ann. Bah !” and the old gen
' tleman will brush a mosquito from his
I nose in high dudgeon,
j “ A leaf from the life time of a
| belle! that sounds interesting,” and
| Miss Angelina Euphenia will sigh lan
guidly, and recline lazily on the
| sofa from which she has just arisen to
get the evening paper. “I hope it is a
love story, I do adore love stories.”
This has nothing todowith ourstory;
but everything must have a beginning ;
and I guess even Thaekeray sometimes
finds himself at a loss for ideas. Even
{ now I am blushing at the thought of
introducing that august name in the
world of letters into 9uch a simple story 7
as mine—but “I have many faults,” and
presumption I regret to say, is “among
the number.”-
© a a o o c a
In an old-fashioned country farm
house, not remarkable for architectural
beauty; but which could boast of a
pleasant situation —a beautiful grove of
oaks to surround it—any quantity of
clinging vines, such as Jessamines and
| Woodbines to clamber upon in—lived
| our heroine. Mettie Love was not strict
ly beautiful, yet she did not care much
about the matter —in her neighborhood
there were no rivals to dispute the palm
with her and Mattie reigned queen su
preme over her subjects, not pausing
to think that the scarcity of the article
exhancedits value. Mattiehadanumber
of admirers among the country youths,
t who flocked around her at fishing par-
J ties, and pic-nies, and one lover—of this
; lover more anon,
! Mrs. Love sat in consultation with
iher “crony” the black cook. Very
good indeed was their converse : and it
I turned as a matter of course on the pet
of the family.
“ She thinks she loves him now—but
Mattie is very young—her education is
yet to finish—she will forget him when
II send her away to school.”
Black Hannah shook’ her head. —
i “ Maybe not. ’Pears to me, you didn't
forget Mr. Love, although Dr. King
came a bobbin’ ’round, with his big
gold fob chain, and his big whiskers—
a ridin’ ’round like mad; and a cut
tin’ all sorts of capers to make the girls
fail in love with him.”
Mrs. Love smiled as the memory of
her youthful days arose before her.—
“ Ah! but Mattie is differrent from me
—she lias seen nothing of life yet—
Mattie is a child, I hope she will forget
j Thaddeus Prince, for although she is
engaged to him girl-fashion, he is not
exactly the sort of man I fancy for a
son-in-law. He has no money; and
with that faco of hers, Mattie might
marry a fortune. It was only yesterday,
that young Kingston told me she was
the most charming creature lie had ever
known. All! I wisii / was a young
girl, and had her prospects. Thaddeus
Prince is a fine fellow, but then to sac
rifice her young life to poverty, with
* Her prospects too ?” _
Mattie Love and Thaddeus Prince
had been playmates from infancy. At
the “old field school ” (which lias long
since given wav to the ambitious col
lege) they had played together, and
studied together. Thad had guided
her through the intricacies of Arithme
tic, and Mattie, having a gift that way,
had written Thad’s compositions. Once
Mattie drew a caricature of the long
nosed pedagogue oil the one blackboard
—Thad, to screen her from danger,
boldly declared himself to be the offen
der—but when about to pay the penal
ty, Mattie, true to her womanly nature,
told the truth with many sobs; and
escaped punishment—because of her
sex. Mattie, (for siie had been a romp)
once climbed to the topmost boughs of
an apple tree: and taking a violent
descent therefrom, fractured her arm.
Thad carried her in his arms to a neigli
oriug farm-house —ran for a physician
—and after seeing the broken limb!
carefully bandaged, conveyed her home.
In all juvenile frolics he was her pro-;
tector, and defender—was he not, by I
all the laws of romance, entitled to her j
girlish love?
“One more walk Mattie before we
part,” and Thad tied the pink hat
ribbons under the swan-like throat. j
Each path had its own peculiar asso
ciations—here Thad had defended her j
from an angry cow—there he had killed
a serpent that was about to srike her—
yonder he had received an apple from
her fair hands ; and declared with boy
gal'antry that were he Adam, he would
hart ;r Paradise a second time for wo
: man's smile.
All these recollections came throng
ing back upon the young lovers; and
each fancied that life could have no
sadder moment than a parting like
“ You will forget me Mettie ” said
he with coming jealousy.
“ Never, Thad never." And she be"
lieved that she spoke only truth.
The evening wore to an end, as all
evenings must, for time does not length
en itself for the tardy farewells of lovers,
but rather spurs onward ; and the old
clock never tells the passing hours so
rapidly, as when we wish it to prove a
laggard.
They parted—after the usual exchange
of rings, vows, and (t unning the risk of
a box on the ears from the hand of
some saucy maiden) “ locks of hair.”— ■
She,fora fashionable “boardingschool,”
where she would learn to work out prob
lems iu Trigonometry, which could ne
ver he of any possible use to her ; and
to wear out pencils in drawing, that
which might pass either for “a cow,or a j
rose-bud”—where she would learn to
snear at the simplicities of home—glo
ry in “ playing tricks ” on her learned
teachers, and graduate at last with a
Diploma, having a blue-ribbon attached
to it.
Yes ! They parted—under what cir
cumstances shall they meet again ?
We pass rapidly over the school-days
|of Mettie Love. Pleasant no doubt as al
most all school-days are—the hours of
! study and frolic. Mettie was a favorite,
; and as much petted at school, as she had
! been at home.
And when the eventful day came that
made her “a young lady”—she held!
her be-ribboned composition with pride,
and acquitted herself with honor. Ev
erybody was proud of Mettie; aud Met- 1
tie was very proud of herself.
Home again ! to Mother, “ aunt Han- j
nah "—and the betrothed ! Fly swift
ly cars ! ye are laden with a precious
freight.”
The “little parlor” had been fixed |
up in honor of her arrival-new cur
tains had taken the place of the old—a!
new fashioned clock ticked in place of
the old one, which had been the won- 1
der of her childhood. Fresh flowers;
enlivened the vases; and a flood of sun- j
j light streamed in at the open windows.
. “ Mother” had decked herself in a new
cap ; and Aunt Hannah’s ebony face
i beamed from beneath the turban
like form of a “ bran new ” handker-i
chief.
j Mettle was wildly happy—the more j
! so, because “anew love” had accom-!
plished her home. The mother was ai
true prophet— a few years make a wide
! difference in the feelings of a girl.
Thaddeus Prince came of course after■
tea; and in the young lady, whose
flowing robes rustled with dignity—!
whose dark eyes sparkled with triumph
—whose “ raven tresses ” were braid-;
ed after the most approved fashion |
(once they had floated free) lie scarcely
recognized little Mettie—his child ,
betrothed!
Midnight found Mettie and her moth
er awake.
Ah ! unwise mother, beware how you
plant in that young bosom the seeds of!
vanity—the harvest may one day sick-,
; on you!
“You are really growing pretty. Met
i tie ; and since you have learned to
dress becomingly there is a decided im
provement. “I shouldn’t wonder if you
become a belle yet. Your Uncle Clement
is so wealthy,and such a magnificent city
home. Do you know that we are going
to livewitli him, my dear ?”
“Are we?” and the bright eyes
brightened, as visions of new conquests
flitted before her visions. “Oh ! how
glad I am—my acquaintance with pov
erty lias never ripened into friend
ship ; and it will be so nice to live in
luxurious ease.”
“ And your lover?” sneered Mrs Love.
“Who? Poor Thad?” Ah! that sen
tence spoke volumes. “I guess he'll
stay here and write sonnets to the
moon.” Child, though she was in'
years, the heart was growing cold and
hard—apt pupil of a misguided teacher !;
The child-betrothal was severed with-!
out many regrets ; and the Love family, i
with all their possessions, was whirled j
away to the princely mansion "which
stood open to receive them.
“And this is to be my home—dear i
Uncle, how kind of you.” And Mettie
flew about in her traveling habit from
one tiling of beauty to another. The j
large airy rooms, with their costly fur
niture, the costly sofas, the inviting
chairs, the tempting lounges, the gor-i
geous carpets, the large oval mirrors,;
the richly flowing curtains, all received i
; a portion of her praise.
"And you are the presiding divinity,” i
! laughed the good humored Uncle, as he j
i raised the piano lid at her request; and
| then uncovered a magnificent harp
! which stood in one corner.
Mettie ran about delightedly—all the
while fearing she was in a fairy dream,
and would awake in her own homely
home. Perhaps it had been well had
she never left it.
“My niece takes well,” said Mr. j
Love to his sister, on the night of their
first party, as he stood watching Mettie,
who was thecentre of a brilliant throng.
“ That rose-colored silk, with the black
lace flowers, is wonderfully becoming—'
why, Amelia, your daughter is almost!
beautiful.” i
“lam proud of her,” answered Mrs.
Love, quietly.
“ And no wonder. Heaven bless the j
little puss, she is playing the mischief
with the hearts of these young fellows, j
bee how saucily she looks at Johnson
with those bewildering eyes of hers;
; while, with her tongue, she is making
Kingston believe he is the favored one.
Ah ! these girls—these girls.’’ •
But other conversations were going
on in that brilliantly lighted hall, and
; of a somewhat different cast.
1 “Who is .she, anyhow?" and .Mrs.
Prim elevated her eye-brows. “She is
behaving in a very objectionable man
-1 ner for a young person."
“ This Miss Love, whom we are invi
ted to see ?’’ ejaculated Miss Prudence.
“Do you notice how loudly she laughs
—not accustomed to good society evi
dently, and how hugely she seems to
’enjoy everything—bad taste?" And
the shrug of the shoulders which fob
; | lowed, told more than words.
>| “Yet she seems to take with the
1 ; gentlemen.” Mrs. Prim, being a widow
| “in search of a husband,” was mourn
ing, in secret, the loss of two of her
admirers.
“Oh! of count, something new you
know—and gentlemen will hover around
a frivolous girl who utters airy noth
ings, just for pa6t time you know.”
Poor Miss Prudence! of late her
: chances for a husband had grown
“small, by degrees, and beautifully
less," and the fates seemed to have de
creed that she should remain an “un.
i gathered leaf."
And the exquisites were talking too.
“Egad ! what a lovely creature, Tom
! —understands the art of delicate flat
tery too—rather rapid—hut just out of
school—will get over that."
“Her uncle's heiress, they say—worth
| catching—l shall set my trap. So say
ing, Tom Bruce curled his mustache
with a I-know-I'll-succed air. “Rather
vain though, I guess, and very suscepti
i ble to compliments—not used to them,
I fancy.”
In the meanwhile poor Mettie, inno
cent of these thrusts from behind the
curtain, which seemed so fair, unsus
; pectingly imagined herself only an ob
iject of admiration—gave herself up,
girl-fashion, to the enjoyment of the
hour—laughed indiscriminately at the
! jests which were uttered—blushed quite
I becomingly, and drank in greedily all .
' the praise which was so readily offered
her.
Intoxicated with the delicious bever
; age of pleasure, which is so sweet when
i life is new, she sat up all night over a j
sixteen paged letter, giving an old
school friend a lengthy detail of this, ;
■ her lirst entrance in society. Ah! that'
i letter! .delicately tinted with the pen-!
j oils which imagination and hope lend
to youth: it told of a young heart
electrified by its first successes—igno
i rant of danger—unsuspicious of treach
ery, and alive to every enjoyment—

COTTON.—We have ha 4 a dull, declining and 1
irregular market during the past week, and al
though there is no very material change in our
quotations, prices have been so irregular that it
is difficult to give them with accuracy. It must
have been a strict lot of Fair to bring 12 cents
yesterday. At our figures holders are not free
sellers, where sales are left optional with them.
Os the new crop, but one bale has been received
in this city, and one in Hamburg. The latter
was receive 1 on the 18th inst., and sold for 15
cents ; the former was sold yesterday, at a price
not made public, but we were given to under
stand at a low down figure. We understand a
planter in the vicinity could have sent in a load<
of new Cotton last week, had he been so disposed.
But little doing. Sales this morning 52 bales

GENERAL REMARKS —The stocks of our mer
chants are daily increasing, as is also business
with the country. It is confined, however, aj!
present mostly to supplying small country or
ders. for articles immediate necessity.
WHEAT.—There is a good demand for all de
scriptions of Wheat, and prices have improved
j during the past week. There continues a good
j home and export demand, and as the receipts
; are moderate tor the season, all offered meets
j with ready sales within the range of our quota
: tions. We have heard of the sale this week of a
, choice iotof White at $1.20, bags returned, which
iis equal to about $1.25. We quote Red at 95 cts
! to $1.05--the latter price for a choice article, and.
White at sl. $1.15 and $1.20, accordirg to quality 1
and quantity.
FLOUR.—There continues a good demand for;
Flour, both for home wants and for export, at l
an advance on last week’s prices, and our City
Mills are kept busy, night and day, grinding to j
moot it. The supply of Country i 3 still limited,
and Tennessee is in good demand at advancing
prices. We now quote Tennessee Superfine at
$5.25©55.50 —the latter price in bbls.; and Ex
tra Family $5.75©56.25. For City Mills $5.50©
$6.75; Extra $6©G 25 ; Extra Family $“©7.50,
outside figures for bbls.
CORN.—But a limited demand, with a good
stock on hand. Sales have been reported to us
this week at 02 cents, sacks included, but most
holders are asking 05—we doubt, however, if a
large lot could be sold, if put on the market,
over GQ cents. Retailing from stores at Go, 70
and 75 cents, according to quantity.
BACON.—'There Is a fair stock on hand, with
a moderate demand. Good Tennessee is still
sought after, and bring our highest quotations ,
in small lots. We quote ling round 9©9)£ ;
Shoulders 7©B—good 7%©S ; ribbed Sides 10
© 10)4 ; clear 10)4©11 cents, according to qual
ity and quantity ; Hams, choice 11 ©12)4 ; infe
rior 7fa) B)4 ; Canvassed 15©16 cents.
LARD—Supply fully equal to demand. In bar
rels it is worth 11)4, and in cans and kegs 12)4
©l3 cents.
COFFEE—Supply light, but all sufficient for
I the demand. Rio is selling at 11)4,12 and 12>4
i cents, according to quantity and quality.
SUGARS—Although we have no quotable
