A CAPITAL STOUT. My uncle Beagly, who commenced his com mercial career etirly in the present century as a bagman, will tell stories. Among them be tells Ins single ghost story as follows : ‘One fine antumn evening, about forty years ago, I was traveling on horse-back from Shrcws- berry to Chester. I felt tolerably tired, and was beginning to look out for some snug way- side Inn, where I might pass the night, when a sudden and violent thunder-storm came on. My horse terrified by the lightning, fairly took the bridle between his teeth, and started off with mo at full gallop, through the lanes and cross roads, until at length I managed to pull him up, just near the door of a neat looking country Inn. ‘Well,’ thought I, ‘there was wit in your madness, old boy) since it brought us to this comfortnhlc refuge.’ And alighting, I gave him in charge to the stout farmer’s boy, who acted as hostler. The Inn kitchen, which was also the guest-room, was large, clean, neat and comfortable—very like tli£ pleasant hostelry described by Izaak Walton. There were several travelers al ready in the room—probably, like inyself, driven there for shelter—and they were all warming themselves by the blazing fire, while waiting for supper. I joined the party. Pres ently, being summoned by the hostess, we all sat down, twelve in number, to a smoking re past of bacon and eggs, corned beef and Car rots, and stewed hare. The conversation naturally turned on the mishaps occasioncdby the storm,.of which eve ry one appeared to have his full share. One had been thrown off his horse; another, driv ing in a gig, had been upset in a muddy dyke; all had got a good wetting, and agreed unani mously, that it was dreadful weather—a regu lar witches’ sabbath. •Witches and ghosts prefer for their sab bath a fine moonlight, to such weather as thfe!’ These words were uttered in a solemn tone, and with strange emphasis, by one of the com pany. He was a tall, dark looking man, and I had set him dowu in my miud as a travelling merchant and pedlar. My next neighbor was a gay, well looking, fashionably dressed young man, who, bursting in a peal of laughter, said: •You must know the manuers and customs of ghosts pretty well, to be able to tell that they dislike getting wet or muddy.’ The first speaker, giving him a dark, fierce look, said: ‘Young man, speak not so lightly of things above your comprehension.’ ‘Do you mean to imply that there are such things as ghosts ?’ ‘Perhaps there arc, if you had courage to look at them.’ The young man stood up, flushed with an ger. But presently resuming his seat he said calmly— •That taunt should cost you dear, if it were not such a foolish one.’ ‘A foolish one!’ exclaimed the merchant, throwing on tlie table a heavy leathern purse. ‘There are fifty guineas. I am content to lose them, if, before the hour is ended, I do not succeed in showing you, who are so obstinate ly prejudiced, the form of any of your deceas ed friends, and if, after you have recognized him. you will allow him to kiss your lips.’ We all looked at each other; but my ^roung neighbor, still in the same mocking manner, replied: •You will do that will you !’ ‘Yes,’ said the other, T v-ill stake these fif ty guineas, on condition that you will pay a similar sum if you lose.’ After a pause, the young man said gaily: ‘Fifty guineas, my worthy sorcerer, arc more than a poor college sizar ever possessed; but here aro five, which, if you ardteatisfied, I shall be most willing to wager.’ The other took up his purse, saying in a con temptuous tone: ‘Youug gentleman, you want to draw back.’ ‘I draw back V exclaimed the student ‘Weil if I had fifty guineas, you should see whether I wish to draw back.’ •Here,’ said I, ‘are four guineas which I will stake on your wager.’ No sooner had I made this proposition than the rest of the company, attracted by the sing ularity of the affair, came forward to lay down the money, and in a minute or two the fifty guineas were subscribed. The merchant ap peared so sure of winning, that he placed all the money in the student’s hands, aud prepar ed for the experiment. We selected for the purpose, a small summer house in the garden perfectly isolated, and having no means of ex it but a window and a door, which we careful ly fastened, after placing the young man with in. We put writing materials on a small ti ble in the summer house, and took away the candles. We remained outside, with the pe 1- lur among us. In a low, solemn voice, he be gan to chant the following lines: ‘WJmt riseth from tlie ocean caves, And the stormy serf? The phantom pale sets his blackened foot On the fresh green turt Then raising bis voice solemnly, lie said: ‘You asked to see your friend Francis Vil- liors, who was drowned three years ago, off the coast of South America; What do you sec ?’ » •I see,’ replied the student, ‘aNvhite light a- rising near the window; but it has no iorm ; it is like an uncertain cloud.’ We—the spectators—remained profoundly sileut. ‘Are you afraid V asked the merchant in a loud voice. •I am not,’ replied the student, firmly. After a moment’s silence, the pedlar stamp ed three times on the ground, and sang: Aud the phantom white whose clay cold face Was once so fiiir, Dried with his shroud his clinging vest And his sea-tossed hair. •You would see revealed the mysteries of the tomb, what do you see now V The student answered in a calm voice, but like that of a man describing things as they passed before him : , •I see the cloud taking the form of a phan tom ; its head is covered with a long veil it stands still!’ ‘Arc you afraid V ‘I am not.’ ... . , We looked at each other in horror struck silence, while tho merchaut, raising bis arms above his head, chaunted in a sepulchral voice: ‘And the phantom said, as ho rose from the wave, He shall know me in sooth! I will go to my friend, gay, smiling and fond, As in our fir>t youth. What do you see,’ said he. I sec the phantom advance, he lifts ins veu Villiern!—’tis his signature 1 I? 1 * vrliero 1 usually, the daily avc- il , ort - v ' The amount of cash re- ** fticci 1 e > K ° aW0J “t of goods entered, *it • bu »° u,) » *’hich L* not an unusually ;oods, .which, under nf 0 ' 1 ' UIT * paid duties to the amount * * s y>"' w , were entered yesterday Uihft of duty.—JWoii Tra~ tis Francis Villicrs!—’tis his signature •Are you afraid ?’ A fearful moment of silence ensued; then tho student replied, but in an altered voice: •I am not.’ With strange and antic gestures, the mer chant then sang: And the phantom said to the mocking sneer, I calk: from the South: Put thy hand on my hand, thy heart to my heart. Thy mouth to my mouth.’ •Wbat do you seel’ coin( —]„; approaches me—he pursues J c me! Help! help ! save me!’ fraid now !’ the merchant askeu ‘Help that rash youth!’ said the merchant, bitterly. I have, I think, won the wager ; hut it is sufficient for me to have given him a lesson. Let him keep his money, and be wise for the future.’ He walked rapidly away. We opened the door of tho summer house, and found the stu dent in convulsions. A paper, signed ‘Fran cis Villiers,’ was on tho table. As soon as the sUt dent’s senses were restored, he asked ve hemently, where was the vile sorcerer who had subjected him to such a horrible ordeal—he would kill him! He sought him throughout the Inn in vain; then with the speed of a madman, lie dashed off across the fields in pursuit of him—and we never saw either of them again. That, children,is my ghosts story. ‘And how is it uncle, that after that, you don’t believe in ghosts V said I, the first time I heard it. ‘Because, my boy,’ replied my uncle, ‘neith er the student nor the merchant ever returned ; and the forty-five guineas, belonged to me and the other travellers, continued equally in visible. Those two swindlers carried them off, after having acted a farce, which we, like nin nies, believed to be real.’ Brilliant Whitewash. Now is the time to whiten nt> the yard fences, summer house, and your dwellings. A few dollars’ expense will beautify your premises and your home. This is a beautiful, cheap and durable paint for meeting houses and school houses. Try it. ‘Many have heard of the brilliant stucco whitewash on the east end of the President’s house at Washington. The following is a re cipe for it as gleaned from the National Intel ligencer, with some additional improvements, learned by experience: Take half a bushel of nice nnslacked lime, slack it with boiling water, cover it during the process to keep in the steam. Strain the li quid through a fine seive or strainer, and add to it a peck of salt, previously well dissolved in water ; three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and pound of clean glue, which has been previous ly dissolved by soaking it well, and then hang ing it over a slow fire, in a small kettle with a large one filled with water. Add five gal lons of hot water to the mixture; stir it well, and let it stand a few days covered from the dirt. It should be put on right hot; for this pur pose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable furnace. It is said that a pint of this mixture will cover ^square yard upon the outside of a house, if properly applied. Brushes more or less small may be used, according to the neat ness of the job required. It answers as well as oil paint for wood, brick or stone, and is cheap- It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it, either for inside or outside walls. ‘Coloring matter may be put in and made of any shade you like. Spanish brown stirred in will make red pink, more or less deep accord ing to quantity. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty for inside walls. Finely pulveriz- edcommon clay well mixed with it, will make a reddish stone color.. Yellow ochre stirred in makes ayellow wash, but chrome goes further, and makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all three cases the darkness of the shades of course Is determined by the quantity of col oring used. It is difficult to make (rules, be cause tastes are different; it would be the best to try experiments on a shingle and let it dry. We have been told that green must not be mix ed with lime; the lime destroys the color, and the color lias an effect on the whitewash which makes it crack and peel. When walls have been badly smoked aud you wish to have them a clean white, it is well to squeeze indigo plen tifully through a bag into the water you use before it is stirred into the white mixture. If a larger quantity than five gallons be wanted, the same proportion should be observed.’ A Drove of Irisli Bulls. The following piece of “ composition,” says the Philadelphia Sunday Transcript, may be “ backed ” against anything ever produced. It was written half a century ago by Sir Boyle Roche, a member of the Irish Parliament. “The Troubled Times of Ninety-Eight,” when a handful of men from the county of Wexford, struck terror into the hearts of many gallant sons of Mars, as well as the worthy writer himself. The letter was addressed to a friend in London, and it is old enough to be new to nine out of ten of our readers : My Dear Sir: Having now a little peace and quietness, I sit down and inform you of the dreadful bustle and confusion we are all in from these bihod-thirsty rebels, most of whom are, thank God, killed and dispersed. We are in a pretty mess; can get nothing to cat, nor any wine to drink, except whisky; and when we sit down to dinner we are obliged to keep both hands armed. While I write tins, I hold a sword in each hand, and a pistol in the other. I concluded from the beginning that this would he the end of it, and 1 see I was right; for it is not half over yet. At present, there aresuch'goings on that everything is at a stand still. I should have answered your letter a fortnight ago, but I did not receive it until this morning, indeed, scarce a mail arrives with out being robbed. No longer ago than yes terday, the coach with the mail from Dublin was robbed near this town. The bags had been judiciously left behind, for fear ot accident, aud by good luck there was nobody in it but two outside passengers, who had nothing for the thieves to take. Last Thursday, notice was given that a gang of rebels was advancing here under the French standard, hut they had no colors, nor any drums except bagpipes. Immediately every man in the place, includ ing men, women and children, ran out to meet them. We soon found our force much too_ lit tle ; wc were too near to think of retreating. Death was in every face, but to it wc went, and began to be all alive again. Fortunately, the rebels had no guns except pistols and pikes, and as wc had plenty of muskets and ammuni tion, we put them all to the sword. Not a soul of them escaped, except some that were drown ed in adjacent bogs ; and in a very short time nothing was heard but silence. Their uni forms were all of different colors, hut mostly green. After the action, wc went to rummage a sort of camp which they had left behind them. All we found was a few pikc3 without heads, a parcel of empty bottles of water, and a bundle of French coinmisions filled with Irish names. Troops arc now stationed all round the country, which exactly squares with my ideas. I have only time to add that I am in great haste. p. s.—If you do not receive this, of course it must have miscarried, therefore I beg you will write and let me know." dry rot, the beautiful yacht America, that so enlightened our yachtsmen in the Solent.”— Alas, that we should so soon be called upon to record such a destiny for the “skimmer of the seas.”—Porter's Spirit. Ulonstcr Cottou-Spiuing Establish- MENT IX RUSSIA. A correspondent of the London Times, writ ing from St. Petersburg, June 8, describes al gigantic industrial project in Russia:— “ The first stone of a monster manufactory has just been laid. It will comprise a cotton- spinning establishment and a series of weaving shops. The building is to be raised upon the Isle of Chronholm, situate upon the Narova, between the two cataracts of that river. It is stated that the spinning departments will com prebend the largest building in the whole world, and will immeasurably exceed in ex tant the vast spinning establishments of the United States. This construction will be formed as a grand square, and will occupy the whole of the isle. A large portion of the adjoining ground has been purchased for the purpose of building liabitationts for tho work men, and a large school iii connection with the p'eat establishment. The contractors for the joinery work are to furnish 1,072 window frames. The building will be lighted by from 15,000 to 20.000 jets of gas. St. Petersburg being unable to supply thoso materials, from 03 to 80 vessels are constantly employed in the conveyance of them from Narva. The num ber of workmen engaged is fixed at 3,000 at least. The edifice is to be completed in three years, but a portion of the spinning depart ment is to be ready for work in one year. The capital required for the undertaking has been already subscribed for in shares, which have been taken up by tho directors of {lie scheme and some foreigners. The chief di rector is M. Jean Frcriches, of Bremen, resid ing provisionally at St Petersburg. His as sociates are the merchants of St. Petersburg, the four brothers Khlondoff, Louis Knoop, Alexander March and M. Soldatenkoff, mer chant of Moscow. Mr. Richard Barlow, an English merchant, is director of the technical works (travaux tcchnixues) and Mr. Kolbe, chief administrator of the building, and the framer of the laws of the Society. “The first stone of the colossal edifice was laid with great pomp and circumstance in the presence of the General Baron do Kruden- er, Commandant of Narva, of all the founding members, and of an enormous assemblage of the people.” A Desperate Figh( with a drizzly A HUNTER'S ARM BIT OFF. James Wilburn, apacker, well-known about Bald Hills, says the Shasta Republican, had a most desperate rencontcr with a grizzly, on Hay Fork of Trinity river, one day last week, lie was out hunting, about a mile and a half from his residence, when he came suddenly up on au immense grizzly. He at once put a large sized piece of cold lead into his bearship, which caused him to seek shelter in a dense thicket. Of course Jim followed him, and catching a glimpse of bruin’s ugly countenance again raised his rifle and pulled the trigger, but the cap failed to do its work. At this mo ment the grizzly discovered his persecutor and started for him with terrible growls and mur derous intent. Quck as lightning Jim brought a revolver to bear upon bim, and put five balls in his carcass, and was in the act of adminis tering the sixth, when the bear with his paw knocked the pistol out of bis hands. However, the desperate hunter was not yet disarmed. He still had a large knife, which he drew, aud then came the tug of war. They went at it knife and paw—struck over aud under, and JJfO. B. ROSS.

We gave an account on Monday of the de parture, in four jolly boats, of a mysterious looking crew from Long wharf, on Sunday night. The following letter from one of the soldiers to his wife in this city, gives an ink ling of the business of the expedition : Off Hull, Ameriky, in the first boat, ? Monday night, Nov. 12th, 185G.

The inquiries which have recently been made to us of the whereabouts and condition of the celebrated Yacht America, with which wc so gloriously distanced the combined yacht squadron of Great Britain, in tho summer of 1351, arc fully answered by the following ex tract from a recent article in a London journal the steam frigate Niagara. The London journal says:—“While the monster American frigate is riding so proudly oil’ Tilbury fort, there lies, almost within musket shot of her pennant, ia a ship-builder’s yard, aud we deep ly regret to eay, completely destroyed with Compliance. Some years ago tho Y'ankee Schooner, Sally Ann, under the command of one Captain Spooner, was beating up the Connecticut river. Mr. Comstock, the mate, was at his station forward. According to his notion of things, the schooner was getting too close to certain fiats which lay along the larboard shore. So aft he goes to the Captain, and with his hat cocked on one side of his head, says: ‘Cap’n Spoouer, you’re gettin’ leettle too close to them flats,—handn’t you better go about V To which Captain Spooner replied: ‘Mr. Comstock, jest you go for’ard and ’tend to your part of the skSner, and I’ll tend to mine.’ Mr. Comstock went forward in high dudgeon and hallowed out: ’Boys, see that mud hook ail clear for let- tin’ go 1’ ‘Ay, ay, sir, all clear.* ‘Let go then.’ Down went the ancliov, out rattled the chain and like a flash the Sally Ann came luffing in to the wind, and then brought up all standing. Mr. Comstock walked aft, "and touching Ins very politely, said: ‘Well, Cap’n, my part of the skeuner is to auchor; and how monght yours be, Cap’n V The Nurseries of Crime. There arc thirty-three places known in New York as receptacles of stolen goods. Stolen clothing sold there is soon ripped up and so changed that the former owner could never identify it. Silver spoons or other plate arc melted at once. These scople are admirably organised among themselves, have a mutual benefit association, and whenever one of their number is so unfortunate as to be arrested, bail is immediately furnished by an agent of the association. -When the trial comes on, first rate counsel is engaged, and any number of witnesses aro easily provided to testify to every thing ncccessary. Hence, convictions seldom occur. There arc many similar insti tutions in this city, which exercise as baneful an influence upon the public morals. There is scarcely a term of our criminal coarts in which there are not cases of thb kind, though the punishment docs not seem adequate to the mischief produced by such nurseries of theft and dishonesty.

At last the knife, 1 which had been playing all about the vitals, proved the victor, and with a savage growl, this monarch of the California woods yielded up his life to the Maker of bears, and his car cass, which weighed about one thousand pounds to the victorious hunter. He did not die, however, without taking a horrible revenge, and Jim Wilburn's trigger finger will never endanger the life of another hear. He won the fight at a terrible cost.

TO COTTON PLANTERS. T HE subscriber has thoroughly tried, at Macon and Columbus, Georgia, his wrought iron Cot ton Screw, where two of them are now standing and will remain until October for inspection. I believe it is cheapest, by half, ever offered for the purpose of pressing cotton or hay, ns the frame, screw, pin, and levers are all of wrought iron. It should bo attach ed to the gin house, and have it put up through the floor, as the ordinary press—the levers being only five feet in length—to have the width of tlie house and 18 and 20 feet in length, the lint could thtn be placed all around the screw. Theu a man can take five bands and pack as many tive-liundred-pound- bales in one day, with as little labor to the hand, as the same five and two more, with a horse, can on tho wood screw in the same time. Three hands can put up one and take it down, and it can be carried at one load with four mules to any point.—As this is for the public eye I will give the amount of timber ne cessary for completing one: piece 17 feet long by 9. “ 17 “ 2 •• 9. “ 17 “ 4 “ 6. “ 9 “ 2 « 12. “ 16 « 2 “ 4. “ 10 “ 1 ■* 10.

JAMES MASSEY, juiy 28 at last so favored them that they were now anxious to see their betrothed, and accompan ied the messages with a goodly remittance to pay their passage. The girls, for mutual pro tection and society, came over the ocean in the same vessel and arrived in safety at Quebec. Thence they embarked with several hundred otjier emigrants on a river steamer to continue their journey down to St. Lawrence. That steamer was the ill-fated Montreal, and of the six betrothed maidens five found cither fiery or watery graves. The sixth—Miss Jeannette Pettigrew—was taken up for dead, and only by faithful and persistent attention was her life saved. All her worldly possessions were gone, hut kind-hearted women at Montreal supplied her abundantly when they heard her affecting story. Eventually she reached licr destina tion, and in a late number of the Chicago Tri bune there is chronicled the marriage of Mr. Adam Tate, of Chicago, tt^Miss Jeanette Pet tigrew. He alone reaped the reward of his long exertions; aud at the wedding there were present two of the other five young men, whose feelings, when they constrasted the hap piness of their friend with their own bereaved condition, must hare been sad indeed.

The frame work of the wrought is in effect an extremely strong and stiff, yet elastic basket, each joint or in tersection being strengthened by rivets, aud the whole being further protected by making the entire platform at each end, one strong spring of steel. If the car runs off the track, falls down a precipice, or comes into collision with another, in sach a manner that the springs at each ends cannot absorb the shock, the car itself will spring, collapse, twist, or crumple up, but cannot break and crush its contents with its fragments.

Tho editor of tlie New York Evening Post, speaking as if from personal knowledge, says: Mr. Marcy, in Washington, commonly com posed his important despatches, not in his of fice, but in his library at home. When thus engaged, he would at once, after breakfast, begin his work, and write till nearly noon, when he would go to the Department, receive calls and attend to the regular routine duties of his position. During the hours of compo sition he was so completely engrossed with his subject that persons might enter and go out, or talk in tho same room without the least obtaining his notice. He wore spectacles— usually sat in his-dressing gown, with, an old red handkerchief on the table before him, and oue could judge of the relative activity of his miud by tho frequency of his application to the snuff box. In truth he was an inveterate snuff taker, and his consumption of that articlo ap peared to have injuriously affected his voice. He wrote deliberately, with few erasures or changes and his thoughts generally in the first draft assumed the form of expression in which he was willing to publish them. He almost always used a pencil, and left the second draft to he penued by a clerk. This, however, he rarely altered.' His handwriting was legible aud handsome, without being clerkly. A schoolmaster said of himself, ‘I am like a hone—I sharpen a number of blades, but I ear myself out in doing it.’ es-and Property ot this Company, are secured be yond all contingencies.
