Away sprung Southron, with the speed ef lightning, jiud away sprang the other Southern horses, leav ing Sleejiy David far in the rear, and the pedlar verging from side to side, as if he was just ready tft fall off. The horse went pawing along with his tail clinging close to his haunches, and his nose stuck out straight beforedlimj and yon ne ver beheld su queer a figure cut by any man and horse as this singular pair made. . " : But they improved as they proceeded;’the ped lar sat more jockey like, and the horse evidently gajued upon the others.' Bui it would not do. Ha camesib-at least half a mile behind Southron, and a little less behind the others. It was now thoughtthe Ynukeehad gotenongh of the race, and would withdraw before the next heat. Contrary to all expectation, however, hoi persevered; and even offered to bet a thousand dollars on the issue of the race. “The fellow’s a fool,” said one. “He don't know winch side his bread is bulter- ed,” said another, *or else lie wouldn’t risk any s more money on so desperate a stake.’ “He’s safe e mugh there,” said a third, ‘for lie has uo more to.risk.f % ‘ Here, however, every body was mistaken n> gain, for' llM. pcdler hauled out an old greasy’ pocket hook and planked tile thousand dollars.

Southron was not a horao to be distanced in.one day, aud especially hy such a miserable looking devil as Sleepy Da vid. The second heat was now commenced; anti if I had. before felt confident in the entire superf- - ority of my noble horse Southron, that confiif«bce wa9 strcnglitened, as I again saw him coming in ahead of the rest I considered the purse uow nr. my own property. In imagination I had grasped it, and was about putting it safely in my pocket, when—lo and behold! the pedler’s horse, which was behind all the rest, suddenly shot forward as if the devil kicked him on end ; aud, stretching his neck li^e-a craue, won the heat by a headi -Every body was astonished* ,‘T.hot-■horse'amas* be the devil himself,’ said one. 'At least, he has tho devil to hack him,’ saida third; T was sure he would play you some Yankee trick before ho Had got through.” Such were the observations that passed from mouth to mouth. The Yankee, iu the meantime, offered to plapk another thousand dollars; but no.,body - would take the bet. And it was well they didn't; formt the third beat, Sleepy David not cnly distanced every horse, but even came in a full quarter of a mile ahead of Southron himself. ‘There, by gauly F said the Yankee, as he dis mounted.’ I’ll take lhat are leetle purse if you please, and the iother cool thousand!

He stood all the time as if he was asleep—in fact n his pwner called hi:n Sleepy David. In short, sir, he n*as - ,sitclpa. horse as would not have brought twenty dollars. ” It .>vas near the hour of starting, when the ped lar, ‘whose;exterior corresponded marvellously with that cf his horse, aud who said his uame waxZadock Barker, to the astonishment of all, in timated a wish to enter his herse along with the rest.. “Your horse!’’exclaimed I—‘what, that sleepy looking devil there!. You’d better enter him for the turkey buzzards.’ “Not’s you know on. Mister,” returned the Yankee, with some show of spirit. ‘To be sure the critter looks rather sleepy as lie stands, and on tlnUaccouut 1 call him Sleepy David; but he’s a j^A#« smart horse for all that. He’s like a singed cat, a darned sight better than he looks. I should like tarnation well id try,,him against some of your South Carolina hosses. To be sure I didn’t come all the way from home onpurpose; but as I was coming out this way with a load ql tin aud other notions, I thought J might time it so as .to- ki|I nvo birds with oue stone; for, thiuks I to myself, it I can win tlpe purse and peddle uff my notions at the same time, I shall make apla- guy good speck. But I had to hurry ou like the nation, to get here in season; and that’s one rea- •soii my hoss looks so kind, of shabby nnd out of kilter this myruiug. But fer all that ho’ll pertorm like days work I tell you.’ ■ , Supposing he had uo idea of runniug his horse, and that all he said was merely to gratify his pro pensity for talking, I bade him be gone, aud uot .trouble me with his d—d Yankee palaver. “YY by, Mister,”saii^ he, ‘this is a free country, and a mail lias a right to talk, or let it alone, jest as he cau afford. Now I’ve taken a good deal of [pains to git-hero this morning in order to run Sleepy David against some of your Southern hosses. I aint a joking, sir, I’m in airnest. I understand there is a purae of two thousand dol lars, aud I should like amazingly to pick it up.’ “You talk of picking up a purse of two thou and dollars with that bit of carrion of yours! Away with you, and don’t troublo us any further.” “YVeil, if I can’t run, then l sposo 1 can’t; but it’s darned hard any how for a man to take so much pains as 1 have to come to the races, and then can’t bo allowed to run arteraU." It’s too late uow; by the rules of the course, the horse should have been entered yesterday: however, if you’d plank tho entrance money, perhaps you may get iu yet.’’ I said this by way of getting rid of the fellow, having no idea he could command a fourth part of tho sum required. *• • “How inu li might tho entrance money he?’ rawing out a purse containing a few shillingsiu silver a d a few pence in copper. *11 if aiut m,re’ii a quarter of a dollar or so, 111 plank it on the nail, - •It is two hundred dollars." . t'wu hundred dollars!” exclaimed the Y an- . lice. ■ “By ghuly, what a price!

In 1820, but 359 newspapers were printed in the United States—id 1826 there were 540—in 1830 there were 1000—and at this time their number probably falls not much short of 1500: which is a larger number than is printed in all Europe, with its population of 100.000,000., The great disparity is owing to the perfect ‘Liberty, of the Press' in this country.
