LOCAL MATTERS.
gp We are indebted to Mr. Bm.kt.ky,
the Agent, cf Adams Express in this
city, for a copy of the Savannah Geor
gian of this morning.
Xttv Cotton.
The new crop is coming in more free
ly. Mr. E. Barnks received at his Ware
house, this morning, three bales, from
the plantations of Messrs. R SI. and M. j
Herrington, Burke county. Thgy were I
put up in handsome packages, were j
classed strict to good Middling, and were J
sold to Mr. H. F. ItcssEi.i. at 12 1-2 cts.
per pound.
The firdload, six bales, was also re-|
ceived this morning l>y Messrs. J. M.
Dye & Co., from Mrs. Lampkin's “Mar- 1
shall place,” Columbia county. This, j
we believe, is the fourth year in succes- j
sion, that this lady has sent the first
load of the now crop to our market.

' Numbering the Houses ami Lots.
We have repeatedly urged, through ;
our columns, the importance of having
the houses of the city numbered. We are
pleased to observe that the matter is
again before Council, and trust the j
work will be completed at an early day.
It is very important that it be done be- ;
fore the contemplated City Directory is j
issued. Our neighbors of the Conslilu- \
tionalist present the following plan to be j
adopted in carrying out the movement: j
Let the numbering commence at the j
eastern part of the city, for instance,
on Broad street. The North side can;
have all the odd numbers, such as 1,8, ■
5 7 9 &c., and the South side all the
even numbers, as 2,4, 0,8, 10, &c. The j
plan of the city, we presume, regulates
the front of lots at about forty feet. If;
so then that distance can be assumed ;
as’thc size of tots, and a few met more
or less will make no difference in num
bering. Where lots are only twenty
feet front, the number can be a fraction,
as it is common enough in cities to find
numbers 41 1-4, 41 1-2, 41 8-4, &0., to
suit the situation of business buildings
and lots. Where vacant lots intervene,
the numbers can either be omitted or
not as it suits the pleasure of the own
er of the lot; hut when the numbering
is resumed, on the same street, the
omitted lots must he regarded as regu
’■ulv numbered. In this case, when
the vacant lots are improved, they can
have their regular numoer without an
interference with any of the regularly j
numbered houses or lots. All numbers ,
should commence at the eastern and ter- ■
inmate at the western part of the city ;
and as the northern part of the city is
more improved than the southern, the
numbering on the cross streets should
commence on the North.
Startling Xcwu about the Cable.
.1 Singular Incident.— The ship Polar j
Bear, Capt. Beeswax, from the Isle of
Sky, telegraph oft the Pot Hooks this
morning, is now coming up the bay, ;
bringing the following report, as per j
log-book of August 10th: At 8 A. M. t 1
lon. 125.50 East. 54.40 North, saw a
mermaid. She bobbed up about ten
fathoms from the larboard t>ow, and i
after wiping her face with a bunch of (
pno weed made a graceful inclination i
vs the head to the man .at the wheel, 1
who instantly put the ship’s nose in the
wind's eye, where she lay to, long
■enough to hold the following conversa- ,
tion with the stange visitor:
Mej-mmL— “Ship ahoy! mind your
helm there ; don’t run a lady down ; I
want to speak with you ; I’m from the
neighborhood of the cable—lam, and
want to let the land lubbers know the
reason the thiug won’t work. All was
going on beautifully, the current of i
<ijeCtricity was flowing through the cop- '
per rope like lolly pop down Jack’s j
throat on a Saturday night, when the j
cable, instead of communicating shocks, j
received itself a most terrible shock,
which has weakened it almost beyond
recovery. A Greenland whale had made
a little run to the Grand Banks after a
mouthful of mackerel, and there saw a
B-<ton fishing smack, on Imrd of which
war; a Boston paper, •containing that
“Ode to the Cable,” by the American .
Plato, Emerson. The paper was drop
ped overboard, seized by the whale, acid
the ‘Ode’ read ten fathoms deep midway
between Valentia and Trinity Bay,
where the whale had an interesting
little family, and in the neighborhood of
which, round the corner, between acou- j
pie of rocks, hung the cable. It ‘caved,’ j
and when all the fishes, on hearing it,
cried out ‘shocking !’ the-cable had one
spasm, and never made another sign.”
—“Young woman, didn't the
‘Ode’ make the whale that recited it
sick The mermaid smiled, placed
her. thumb upon her proboafc, waved her
digits .right and left, and slowly sa.sk
out of-Right.
In order to place this intelligence
immediately before the peqpie, our ship
news reporter jumped on board of a cou
ple of fish boats, and was rowed with all j
speed to »this office. —A r . Y. Zhy Boole.
The Cattle Disease,
Which iias been prevailing to an
alarming extent in the lower part of the
Sta£e for some months past has recently
made its appearance in this vicinity. It
seems to prevail in this region in a light
form, as we do not hear of many cattle
dying from it. We think, it would be
wise to keep Milch kine, penned, away
from green food, as it may be perilous to
human life to suffer them to run at large
and continue the use of milk. —Marietta
Advocate 20 th inst.
Fire at the Illinois State Prison.
—At about 8 o’clock last Saturday eve
ning, 14th inst., a fire broke out in the
worshops of the State Prison, two of
which, with the dining hall of the
Prision, chapel, hospital and three oth
er buildings were consumed. A large
amount of finished work was also de
stroyed. Three firemen were injured,
but not dangerously. Several attempts i
to escape were made by the prisoners; ■
none, however, succeeded. The loss is
estimated at $30,000 and is fully cov
ered by insurance in Eastern offices.-- i
The origin of the fire is unknown. t

From tl *■ Life Time of a Belle
BY SUSIE SUNFLOWER.
CHAPTER 11.
“01 ? what a tangled web we we:ive.
When first we venture to deceive.”
“ Yottr conduct is shameful—posnj
lively shameful Mattie,” said Mrs. Love
one evening, and site seemed about to
burst in a hysteric sob.
“ How so ?” asked Mattie, drum
ming her slipper heel impatiently on the
Hoor. '
“ Why you have lost the best chance
you ever had.”
“ There’s as good fish in the sea as
was ever caught out of it,” quoted
I Mattie, laughingly.
“Yes: but if you keep on at this
| rate you'll never catch any.”
“Well, what of that ma-chere mere, I
I can live here with uncle all the day's
of my life, can’t I uncle, and be your
; loving old maid ?”
I “ Yes, pet/’ said he, fondly caressing
j her curls. “ You shan't marry any of
| those naughty men ; and be bothering
jyour poor little brains with house
keeping—no indeed- And the next
time one comes here on such a fool’s
errand, do you just send him off with a
flea in his ear,’ d'ye hear, pet.”
“But what were ‘ mama and I ’ quar
reling about when I came in ?”
“Oh ! about Col. Loftusfce pompous
old curmudgeon,’ who thought he had
| only to say ‘ will you have me ?’ and
; I would fly in his arms with a ‘thank
j you, sir.’ Why do you think the old
; wretch didn't have the audacity to call
j me a flirt to my very face ; and just bc
| cause I gave one of my curls to that
j pretty little Harry Kingston ?”
! And the saucy witch laughed immod-j
eratelv.
| “Who Is to deliver the oration to- j
|morrow, uncle?”
“A stranger, I believe—the hoys
j speaker they call him. We must go 1
early so as to secure favorable seats—:
you can enjoy a good speech Mattie ; |
and I wmnt yon to hear this.”
“Thank’e sir,” replied Mattie with
a mock courtesy “ and I’ll fall in love ;
with the speaker just as sure as you arej
born ; and tease Kingston to death ;
for he imagines ha has secured my af
fections forever, and ever.”
Here Mattie danced away to order a
new dress; and Mrs. Love raised her;
hands in pious horror.
; “Never mind her,” said Mr. Love, con
j solingly—“ let her be happy while she !
I may— she will sober down when the
time comes; and as to marrying her I
j off, that is an absured idea which I!
hope you will banish from your mind. ■
( There ate a dozen popinjays, who are
j ready to scale mountains for a smile of
1 my Mattie's, hut she can bide her time.” j
! The Hull was crowded almost to suf
focation —the aisles were choaked with
'chairs. A band of music was playing;
I “ Annie Lourie ” —fans were rustling— I.
beans and belles were whispering, when
the Love party entered. Instantly a|
dozen gentlemen interested themselves
to find Miss Mattie a convenient scat,
and succeeded in marshaling her direct
|ly in front of the rostrum, where one j
j seated himself next her, another stood j
jby to fan her, and yet another ran to j
; bring her a glass of iced water. Mr. j
Love “laughed consumedly,” when he!
saw the manceuvres of these youngsters, I
and wondered if he had ever made hitn
; self -so ridiculous for the smiles that
I came from underneath a bonnet,
i And in a moment all voices were
i hashed; and the youthful orator ap
j peared acknowledging the presence of
| his audience by a graceful bow. He
| was a noble specimen of God’s choice
handiwork—with a finely developed
T’gttre—a frank honest face—broad mas
sive brow--dark midnight eyes—rich,'
masses of black luxuriant hair thrown
jagelessly back from the sen-browned
brow, and a look of manly independ
ence mingledwith a due timidity. His
voice at first soft, and fiute-liko in its
| tones, rose high, and piercing over that
vast assembly, as he treated his subject
in an impassioned masterly manner,
the loud trumpet burst -of applause,
and the smiles and tears of his audi
ence telling in a flattering manner how
he vas appreciated. When lie conclu-
beaulifubboquet. formed of rarest
flowers, and tied with a lowing pink j
ribbon, flutter-red for a moment in the
air, and fell at his feet—the richest
trophy man ever vwins—a token of wo
man’s appreciation. A smile lit up 1
.every feature of bis animated face, as
he turned, and bowed gracefully to the;
donor—Met tie Love.
“ Abbie Howard has acquired him
self with honor,” whispered Kingston
in Mattie's ear. “It is His first appear
ance ia public. I feel a great interest;
in him, as he was a charily scholar; and
rose by his own efforts to the position j
he occupies. ”
Under the polished exterior of that;
sentence, Mattie detected the under
current of sarcasm ; and replied with
her usual enthusiasm.
"Is he! well then I honor him—if!
there is a man on earth who commands
my esteem it is the rdf-made roan, who
rises superior to the frowns of foitune,
grasps the helm, and rides onward to
renown.”
Kingston smiled. “Here comes an
other candidate for your favor—see —
the audience is calling for William!
Wesley —now his is the style I fancy.’’ ’
William Wesley was slenderly made,
with a face fair, and delicate as a wo
man’s—so fragile as to seem almost
effeminate. The fair forehead the soft
bine eye—-the exquisitely curved mouth
—tire slender frame challenged admira
tion, and awak,ened interest.
But this pigmy in form was a giant '
in intellect, possesed of grace and elo- j
quence, charming alike the eye, the
ear, the heart!
“ His voice was gentle, never loud.
Its very softness awed the crowd
And when he closed his extempore ad
dress with a beautiful eulogy to woman,
the audience forgot—because of the en
chantment in which they were wrapped
—to applaud; ’till one, less charmed,
“ put the ball in motion.”
The rival speakers formed the chief
topic of the day ; and some awarded
the palm of victory to Howard, some
to Wesley.
Mettle, being a “belie,"was intro
duced to both ; and the little syren
used her prettiest attractions to entrap
one, or both, if possible.
You have long since discovered that
Mettie belonged tothat justly condemn
ed class —coquettes. Injudicious flatte
ry had caused her to over-estimate her
charms ; and much praise had made her
vain and somewhat heartless. With i
proper training, and wholesome rebukes i
administered at the proper time, and in
a proper manner, she might have fig-;
ured in another sphere, and been of j
use to the world. As it was, iter high- j
est aim was to be, what she was—a but- j
terfly of fashion.
“I think the question is settled now,
Hannah.” And Mrs. Love seated her
self in the room where “Aunt Han
nah" was ironing. “Mettie has caused
me a great deal of trouble, of iate, but
now I think she will marry Mr. How
ard. He visits her every day, and eve
rybody says it’s a match. She might have
done better with her prospects; hut
Howord is a promising young man, and
her unde likes him.”
“PrmerUy he does,” said “Aunt
Hannah,” with a dignified shake of Iter
turban ; “ but I’m feered you're reck
onin’ without your host agin. ’Pears to
me there’s no confidence to he put in
Miss Mettle's likes. ’Twas only 'tother
day you was fixin* de bridal finery for |
to marry Col. Loftus, whensheups with j
her foot and kicks him out of de door — j
same way wid dat young Mr. Kingston, j
It may turn out well, mistis, hut I
doubts it—deed it always minds me of j
de man dat went through de swamp to
cut him a walkin’stick, and couldn't;
find none to please —tillhimehy ho j
passed all dat was any account, and had ;
to put up with a sorry one. Same way
wid Miss Mettie, if she don’t mind.”
Aunt Hannah was a privileged scr- [
vant, and Mrs. Love invariably consult
ed her.
Mettie was in the parlor with Mr
Howard.- As you and I, reader, feel
somewhat interested in her, we will 1 is- ■
ten at the key-hole, taking care to tell j
nobody, lest they should call us “eaves
droppers.”
Their conversation had been of a
. jesting Older, but gradually it had deep :
ened to n#nore serious tone.
“ Marriage is a very serious consider- ;
j ation, Mettie, particularly to a man of j
, poverty. Even supposing that I could
! win the love of some true-hearted wo-;
! man, would it not he heartlessly cruel
in me to drag her down to a life of self
denial and hardship-place her in a po
sition unouited to her tastes, and thus
sacrifice her young life ?”
“If she lured you, she would welcome
the sacrifice.” '
“But my fortune is yet to make—l
must carve out my upward pathway,
and toil through thorns and briars to ,
win myself a name—would it be 1
right in me to chain some one, a ‘pet,’
! like yourself, for instance, to this life, j
j and with my selfish love, rob her of a j
; brilliant destiny?”
Mettie twirled her gkivc carelessly, j
and replied :
“To a woman there can he no bril
liant destiny without love; and the
greatest glory of love is its self-denial.
A woman, with the proper sort of a
soul, would aiil you in your noble work,
and gladly welcome even toil and hard
ship if shared with you ; so, you see,
! there’s no excuse for you vowing thus 1
! early in life to remain a bachelor, but — '
What are you laseghing at, Mr. How
| ard ?”
| “Prove your yaaskee-dcscent by guess
jib? ?”
| •“ Because I am playing with my j
j glevc ?”
•“ And that glove as —a mitten.’’
“But I shall not give it to you.”
The low, quiet sesatence might have
meant nothing, it might, also, have
meant tnerijlhiny.
i When Howard bowed himself away,
Mettie looked aft er him with a triumph
ant smile, and whispered “encourage
ment enough for one evening.”
While he, unconscious -of this, with a
heart, heating high with fcepe, he felt
that he could rise superior to fortune’s'
adverse frown because of h'er lone.
Oh ! hope—delusive, r'elf-deceiving i
hope!
CHAPTER HI.
“Ob ! woman, in our hours of case,
Uncertain, coy, and bard to please :
And variable as the shade
By the light, quiver.ng aspen made.’’
“Heaven help me, but I amvety
wretched.” Atid Abbie Howard befit
lover bis books so that his ‘'chum”
; might not see the anguish, of which lie
was ashamed, and which he could not
entirely conceal.
William Wesley paused in Hie letter
lie was writing, and looked upward.
' “ What is the matter?”
Poor Howard attempted to smile as
ihe replied, “Oh! you know there
never was any mischief yet hut some
j woman was at the bottom of it—a wo
man of course.”
“Notin love, are von ? why I thought
you were wedded to your law books.”
“ And so I am, Wesley, now and for
ever, and please Heaven I shall never
seek to wed anything else so long as
women are false as fair.”
“ Why what has come over you ?”
“ Simply this. I have lost all faith
in everything, because I have been de
ceived where I most trusted.”
“Ah! Wesley you don’t know what it
is to lead a life of toil and hardship—to
feel yourself alone in the world ; and
then for a light to arise in the clouded
sky, a false deceitful light, hurrying
you on to dreams of happiness—filling
you with wild sweet dreams of joy ; and
then to awake at last feeling yourself a
fool—a dupe.”
“You know my history. I was a poor
t boy doomed to toil day and night, un
til my bands were coarse and brown
with labor, ignorant and uneducated,
, yet feeling in my inmost soul that God
had created me for a nobler destiny
] —that within me there was power need
ing only culture to develope it.
You cannot even fancy—you the
child of wealth—the soul-- struggles
through which I passed—the wild am
bition that would burn in me at times ;
and then the bitter despondency that
would overcome me as f n.-ked, ‘ls
this to he my life ?’
“Heaven had raised for mu a friend—
A kind old gentleman,whom prosperity
could not harden, saw and pitied my
condition—he was rich- money was to
him no object—to defray my expenses
at school and college, was to him a small
every-day charity—to me everything.
“You remember how I toiled,bearing
even the sneerswhich greeted the ‘book
worm ’ from idle thoughtless students,
that I might prove worthy of his gen
j erosity.
| “Well I succeeded—the poor boy did
j not put his benefactor to shame ; and
why ? because of an unconquerable
j will to be somebody. I graduated with
i honor, I would have died or have done
it. he was proml of me-I felt that I
i had something to live for—gratitude.
“Once out in the world, I labored for
'advancement; and my life, hard as it
! was, had its pleasures. I knew that I
j was poor—a pariah from society ; and
: therefore I sought not the smiles of
I woman.
“But once—flushed with an unexpect
ed triumph, I conquered my natural
timidity, and allowed myself to be pre
j sented to one, who ‘desired to be ae
iquainted with the boy speaker,’ Ah! Wes
,ley she was fairer than any brain-crea
tion, my fancy bad ever pamted—lovelier
than a poeis purest ih’cAui. S’c smiled
I upon me— remember that I had never
! known the friendship of a woman—had
not even a sister whose refining love
could bless. Her eyes would brighten at
;my approach—to me they were the stars
: of destiny beckoning me on to higher
honors— her cheek would flush when I
I addressed her—her low deep words of
welcome told me I was dear. I was like
) one who wanders for years in search of
I some hidden jewel, and finds it at last
unexpectedly. Life was so rich with
this new-discovered treasure —it seem,
wl to me that I had fallen asleep
and on waking had found mjsjj(f in
i another world. She was all the world
to mo —had I a desire to rise above my
present condition, it was because she
; said she honored me —courted I the
j smiles of fame —it was that I might
| lay the trophies at her feet. The wild
est delirium of passion Is sanity com
pared with my idolatry for this woman.
Was she blameless? No, she knew that
I loved her—every word—every glance
revealed it—and she led me on—step
by step—no half-way declaration could
satisfy her—she must have the triumph
of placing ray name on the list of her
| victims. When I spoke of my pover
-Ity she said that love delighted in self
denial ; and when I would have flown
her presence she wooed me back with
words endearing, and tender glances.
“Well, I told her all; and she affect
ed such a pretty surprise , —she ‘ had never
dreamed of such feelings on my part'
she ‘e steemed me as a friend ’ but ‘ her
heart was anothers! ’ William Wes
ley I was like a miser who awakes some
morning and finds all his hoarded treas
ures gone—oh ! did I not love her yet
so well, I could almost curst her.”
‘ Her name, Howard ?”
“ I thought all the word knew ” said
the poor fellow with a ghost of a smile
—“Mettie Love.”
His voice softened as he breathed
that name.
j “ What, Howard r” “Mettie Love.”
i “ Impossible!”
Howard looked up in surprise at the
compressed lip and ashy forehead of
his friend ; and then the truth stole
across his mind.
“ Wesley you loved her too,” “Yes.”!
“ Then Heaven pity you.” And the '
two friends before, brothers now’ claspe '
[ bands.
All! Mettie Love, Mettie Love, could j
you look upou your work you would not'
smile so sweetly. It may be a “trifling;
thing ” to excite vain hopes, and trifle |
with honest hearts ; but for every
sigh of anguish you have caused, fate
will demand tears as bitter !
Ah ! Mettie Love, a dangerous spec
ulation is this “ double game and in
trying to grasp tbo much, beware lest
you lose all !
The coquette may sail on smooth seas
for awhile ; but in time the skies will
blacken, and a tempest gather o’er her.
Mettie Love beware !
Shall we peep into her private corres- j
pondence ?as she thus writes unreserv
edly to a friend?
“ Fannie, Dear, the brilliant destiny
which you predicted for me lias been in
a measure fulfilled. I have shone in
the halls of fashion, and won hearts
but to break them. But I begin to tire
of the ‘game ;* and have shrewd fears
that my mother will prove a true
prophetess in the end ; and that Mettie
will he Mettie Love forever!
