The subject of dreams is one of she prob lems which continually bailie human investi gation. Every one dreams, yet no man solves the phenomena. Every man is ron cious that the strangest imaginable deviations from the common tilings and thoughts ol life pass befoie him in sleep, yet the most philo sophical are still totally at a loss to discover the cause, the instrument, or the law of those most singular, exciting and perpetually recur ring m itiotis ol thu min 1. All attempts to ao comit for them by peculiar actions of the brain are idle. Who can see or know the ac tual state of the organ ? All attempts to ac count H r them by association ol ideas arc equally idle. What does anv man know even of the nature of that association ? Eve v the ory winch hopes to determine them by exter nal impulses has equally tailed. That external impulses will often influence the dream is no torious; but this seems to occur only inanj imperfect condition of slumber, when the sen ses are partly awake. That hod ily pain o’iil influence them also there is no doubt. Still this is an imperfect condition, and on th* 1 verge of waking.

Lamb’s Letters. ! TO TIIE CITIZENS OF COLUMBUS. The course f have pursued in opposing the ’ issuing of the Cay Cowls, for the purpose of ioaning them so the Cliattahoochee Railroad . ami Banking Company, having given offence j to many of my friends, ami having subjected ‘■ me to the charges of opposing rnvseli to a whole coninnini y, and of making war on the I interests of my friends and the prosperity of the city, 1 feel il is but an act of justice to myself, id lay before them some.of the na soti.s which have produced the convictions j upon which I have acted. Those who have supposed that I have act ed merely from a disregard of public opinion. l and those who suppose that I can be d:iven i from my course by the clamors of interest,: have alike mistaken my motives and my elm- : ; racier. I Most of those who know me will do me the i justice to believe, that there are few men j j who will more readily sacrifice matters of ! mere interest, for the gratification of friends; ! than myself. To know that the public np ! proved my course, would he a source of great ■ g.-ati final ion, but it could not compensate me j for pursuing a course which I believe to be j I wrong. To satist y mv own mind is mv first j i object, and then to satisfy others if I can. i It has be< n, if it is not now, a well settled ! (principle in this country, that. Governments 1 j cannot properly exerc .se powers which liave i j not been granted to them, and that it is at i least the right if not the duly of every citizen to oppose the assumption of powers not grant ; ed. It’ this proposition he true ns to Govern- j ! mehts, is Certainly applies with equal force to I i corporations. | It* then, I believe the Corporation, in adopt- j ; ing tliis measure, is assuming powers not j [granted to it, I can see no reason wbv anv j person should object to rnv exercise of mv I ! right to oppose it. The only part of tf.ie act! iof jucorpiiration from which any person will j pretend to derive this power 10 issue City! Bon Is, or in. o'her words to borrow arid loan money, is contained in the following vvoids : “ And they shall have special powers to make j all contracts in their corporate capacity which j they may deem necessary for the welfare of isnid city.” I will not here go into a labored ; argument upon the construction of statutes, j to prove that the power in question cannot be j inferred from this clause —but every one will | admit at once one of two tilings—either that’ | their authority relates to contracts w rch have j j reference to those objects for which ihe rnr- ! • noration was created, to wit: the inteniai re- ! I gulation of the city; the preservation of order I jnnd the security of the conifort, quiet, enn ! venience and health of its citizens —or that it | is a > unlimited power to make whatever con | tracts tiio-'e who happen to compose tiie Council may think, or to profess to think, may haven beneficial effect on tiie general growth and prosperity of the place. If we give it the firmer construction, it is evident to the meanest capacity, that the Citv Council, in borrowing money and lending it to a company to estahlish a bank and build a railroad, is exceeding ts powers. K the lat ter, we perceive at once that the City Coun cil has the right n"d the power to bind the citv to anv extent, which can be limited only l>v the or* interest of ilms-’ in power. If the City Council of one year may S hind ihe citv for money to Ippd to a romaanv jto establish a bank and build a railroad a j hundred miles into the country, the Council jof the next year may deem that the wetfa r e j of the city'requires them to borrow, money ; and lend it to a steamboat company, and tiie j next to a rnanuf'ctu-ing company, and so on. j as long as the bonds of the city can be sold ! for anv price in anv ma’ket. Will anv man deny that they have as much right to do mv* of these things as the other? Or contend that the Legislature cnnl 1 ever have intended, hv this vague and general expression, to gmm to the Corporation, powers so extensive and I irresponsible, over the rights and pro’vrtv of (lie citi'/e’ s? But I am told, that whether they have the right or not, the interest of ti e mv requires it—that the citv must sink unless we have 1 r.iihoad. and that we want a bank to relieve the people. Wl at evidence have von that tiie c'tv must! sink without a railroad ? or that the bank would relieve the people? The first question is o e to which the ex pedeuce of the world can as yet give no sa tisfactory answer. I know of no railroad which has !>en o‘*anv rnn’eria! advantage to j anv particular place. It is true we rnav imn I'gine a great manv advantages to he derived ! f’r<ijp ilr’in —it is t- ue that the cities and town -1 to and fom vv! ich raih'oads liave been both. 1 have been in a flourishing condition for Ren*. • •al vears past, hm it is (quallv true iha* places I'five flourished without ‘them. Indeed i fir sevral years past, every thi’ g in th’ [shape of city, town and village, fom New J\ol kto th” pinv woods e.on-'trv residence, has I been in a flourishing condition. So far as pxnerim rit has .gone on this sub i i"Ct. I believe it is (enera!lv admitted, that j iailroads are of Imt little service except whet -1 tliev connect ohces between which there is n -great dea! of ini Mco-ns-. Mv o-*-n opinion i is, that it is of irr-c’t more imporfatvee to ns j in a ct)jmn : *rc;a.| point of view, to r -d'Te th 1 | freights up and down (lie river than to make i a rati-o'* 1. for that vvo'dd enable its to sel 1 • goods cheaper, and give more f>r C-otton. ! at* ! so fir ? think it wndd he wiser in tf,e : f' hv o''Unci to borrow money and lend it so •t cptHpastv to make a bank ami hull.! steam ; ‘writs than to make n railroad, i U'*on tlm other branch of the question, the world and you have had snffleie-nt experience ;to fbrrtt ‘rom ihe past, some estimate a? to wltaf may be expected from the future. I , ref’r In the relief von may reasonably expect j from the bank. Lw ns look a little into the : his-to vof t!ie nnst f*r instruction. I lived in this p!-:rv when there was no bank- in it—T i have lived tosee fyir of tlient established and; • -m into operation, besides the branch of the j Bank of Milledgevilh'*, and fro-ti first to last j | the erv lias been “ we want a bank to relieve the people.” As our town began to grow up not nf the wiki gness, t!ie peopl* were pp'-stt ded tU:tt j ; they co-il l not get a’ong xy-ithont a hank : j I they wanted a bank to relieve the peovle. —; The C il'.mibu? Bank was chartered and v.-ens inlo operation ; some time during the first ’ vear (I believe it wap) it declared a dividend j of eight per cen* tor s'x montlts. People then discovered, or ibqughf tbev did. that this batik was manage ! for the. be nefit of a fiw, and tint the owners of it had use fir all the nmnev if had; it did not relieve . the people. A petition was got up and sent s to the Legislature for another charter; thpv wanted ,a bank that woo'd relieve the people. The Farmers’ Bank of Chattahoochee was chartered; but the people said its owners had use fir n'l the money; if did not relieve the people. Anotlv*r was nslce l f*r. that the peo ple might he relieve ?. The Insurance Bank wnscharterp 1. Wpli.wpsnonfiuin l,or|honght we fmnd. that it was like the rc--f: it did not relieve the peoo h\ and we snf about to get more hanks to r ~ Ihe people. The Macon Fank and the Wheeler Bank, however, failed about this time, and they relived the people, fat such a rale that bank-making was fora [season suspended in Georgia The |)-ui:c jjassed oil’ and charters were obtained for the Banters’ and Mechanics’ i B ink, and the Cbaitafiiochee Railroad and ; B iliking Company, the one with a capital ol j a million, and the other three millions. I ire j Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank has gone into i operation and the people are not relieved ; and i now the l.iM great remedy, the panacea for i -I! our distresses, is t<* borrow money to put I the Chattahoochee Railroad Bank into ope- | ration to relieve the people. f doubt not wiien this great Railroad Bank ! goes into Ojterallon it will relieve the people !as much as other Biliks, and in the same i wav; but it is folly longer to be deluded v. ith ibis idea. Banks are not marie lor tire relief of the people—-h is a very good song to get ! up a hank, but after that no more is heard of ! it. Men vest their money in banks as they j ; do in everv thing else, for the purpose ol rua | king money. If they can make more on it by ; using it ihemselves than hv lending, they will use it, if not they will lend it. But admit that this Railroad Bank would j [lend to the people all the money it possibly ! could, the verv fact of its borrowing Citv ] Bonds, or borrowing the money on :ts own 1 Bonds’, will plr.ee it in a situation where ii can not accommodate if’it would. The sixth rule j for tiie government of the hank provides ihnt I “ the total amount of debls which said corpo- ration shall, at anv time owe, either bv hill, j bond , note, contrast or otherwise, shall not ex- j cei’d three limes the amount of capital stock actually paid in, and by this act authorised to he used and appropriated to hanking purpo ses;” and the second section of the charter provides that “of ihe whole capital, one half mav he uspd for Hanking purposes, not mn r P except as hereinafter provided by the fifth and seventh seetio.is of this act, before the completion of the work ;” and in the fifth I section it is provider!, that “ nothing oontain -1 ed in this act shall be so construed as to au j tborise said company to apply tno-e than o e I half of their stock to banking purposes until ! the completion of the rail m d.” Now so soon ns the bank shall borrow | seven timid red and fifty thousand dollars-of , Ci’v Bonds, nr of money on its own Bonds, t | its dt-b?s by band will amount to twice the i “ amount of capital stock aetualhj |>aiil in, ■ and liv this act authorized to he uspd and appropriated to banking purposes.” and then | tile etm st limit to which it can loan money, 1 will lie three hundred and seventy-five lliou ; sand dollars; and should anv contracts be I made for building the Rond, the amount to ! lie loaned will tie diminished bv-the amount of thns<‘ contracts ; nru! when you deduct the I amount they can loan, that which must he ; loaned on drafts on New York, von will find ! there will be but little left to lend on accom- modation notes to relieve the people. Let’s look n little to the profits. They ! borrow seven hundred and fifty thousand do ! - jlarsntsix per cent, that is forty-five ,tbou jsnnd dollars interest. They lend three hun- I dred and seventy-five thousand at eight per cent, that is thirtv thousand dollars. Here is j a clear annual loss of fifteen thousand dollars, | besides regular and incidental expenses. But, I am asked, what injury can result to any one from lending the City Bonds so this Company? As it seems with most of those with whom I have conversed to resolve entire ly into a matter of pecuniary interest. I will for ihe present, treat the question purely as dollars and con’s, and reply to that question by asking another. Would it injure any per son for this Cit v to owe seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars without the means of paying it? If it would, then l can verv easily show that a great deal of injury may result from it. Suppose it should so happen that the titles to the mortgages should not be good, or that there should be old executions against it. and that ilir-l>n..l< 01...n1i! break, and the Railroad turn out 10 be of no value, how would the Bonds be redeemed ? And in this country it is surely no uncommon occurrence for the most vigilant to find that he lias purchased or taken a mortgage upon real estate, ihe ti de to which is not good ; and if anv should doubt as to the possibility, or even probabili ty of the breaking of n bank, let him examine the history and fate of the Banks in the Utii ted States for the last twelve months. But admitting flu? biles to be good in eve rv instance, and tu> old executions on flie pro- J p’rtv, does anv body believe these mortgages ; would he good against creditors? Let ns look in’o ibis matte . A. owes B. two thou- j sand dollars and mwivs real estate of that, vnl- | it and no other property—to-morrow be . mortgages it to the Railroad and Banking! Company lor Stock; a1 April Court B. oh-! tains judgment for his two thousand dollars ; i don’t you think ’he jud<-r.m*nt will bind the ! urooertv in preference to the mortgage ? I do, and I’ll,tell you whv. The cha-ter does not authorise ihe taking of anv such mortgages, or Ihe ’nking stock in tint wav. All this premnee ahou’ giving checks and paving mo ney, and borrowing il back, and giving mort .rag s to secure its r>avtn”nt. would avail no thing. A Court nf Fquitv would unravel it and set aside tiie mortgage. There are a g om manv people sued now. and if the ; rp irTg’irufl proper* V should he sold to pay! th- ir debts, and the Bank break, who would pi”the Bonds? There is ano’her Future in this B-oik that ha's ecaned mv attention until within a short time. It is this:—the seventeenth section of •he charter contains this provision—“ That the said Roihoad atid appurtenances of the i same, shall not he taxed higher than imp Inlf, of cue per centum upon us nett annual income and no municipal or other Corporation shall have power to tag the stack of mid Company, j but m:iv tax any properly, lea! or personal.! of said Company, within ihe jurisdiction of sail! corporation, in the ratio of taxation of like property.” Accord ing to this provision of ihe Charter, •hose who own stock in ties hank and rail road. pay no tax to the State, unless die pro-; party is profitable, and none to the city under! nnv ciiemnstmines. L it right in a country where we claim Ihe enjoyment “of equal rights and equal privileges, 1 that these dislincoinns should be made?—| Does the interest of Columbus require tlutt a ! Bank shall be established here which shall he exempt f rom taxes, while every body else; pays them? Is it right that the merchant: shall pay taxon his goods, that the owner of houses and lots pay tax on them, that the ! owner of every kind of property shall pay tax j ’ for it, and that the man who is able to buy j ! bank stock, shall have trie privilege of e.xetnp- | ; lion from taxes? If this he right, then am I 1 wrong. If this be permitted, then it will soon j he the case here, that those who are able to ! get Bank stock may enjoy all the privileges of; i the City, while those who are not able to get: .it must pay all the taxes. The City Bonds, ; if issued and sold, must be issu and and sold ! upon the credit of every man in the City who! ’ pays taxes, from the me-chant who pays tax j upon liis goods, to the day laborer who pays ! poll tax. I? it right then that money Should be raised upon o r credit to lend ‘o a compa- j uy to grind and shave ns, and while they are j rolling in wealth and wallowing in luxury upon ‘ the money raised n on our credit, they must i he exempted from taxes, and we must hear all the burden of paving the expenses of the support of the City? I this be right, and the ■ interest of the Citv require it. then am I op. posed to the interest of the City. But it if he that the true interest of every people consists in the security ot an equality of rights and pri vileges—if it be that the true interest of a eommun'ty requires that its burt'’°ns should he equally borne bv nil, then am I, not only not opposed to her interest, but I atn pursu ing a emirs-, the tendency of which is to pro mote those interest.- r ow and hereafter. jamks n. bethink. SENTINEL $ HERALD. I COLUMBUS, APRIL 5, 1838. the rail road bank. We have opened our columns to-day to a communication from Gen. Betliune, on the subject of the right of the corporation to issue City Bonds on which to raise money for the purpose of building a rail road. The press in this country is free, and we trust may thus continue forever; and we hold that the col umns of a public journal should he thrown open lor the free, candid and impartial flis eussion of all subjects connected with the public good, and denied to no communication hearing a responsible name, unless that com munication contain personality and abuse. We differ—as do most of our fellow-citizens — with Gen. Betliune. We do not believe the corporation have exceeded 11 one jot or tittle,” ! the authority which they possess under the charter of the city. Our belief is founded upon die written opinion of five of the best judges of law i:i the State of Georgia. We will not, therefore, presume to argue the question of right on the part, of the City | Council to raise funds on City Bonds ; enough I for us to know, that if the loan he obtained— i which we ardently hope may he the *ase — j and the rail road be constructed, the people i will he so fully impressed with the benefits resulting therefrom, that the question of right which is now mooted so earnestly bv Gen. ! Betliune, will never more he thought of: It will be whirled away in the swiftness of a locomotive, into everlasting forgetfulness, and the blessings of the country will come down like the dew of heaven upon the heads and hearts of our present worthy Mayor and AI- ; <termen. We will not play at foils with our iHenand in relation to banks; It is often the i ease that when an individual, hurried away too much by the impetuosity of his feelings, ; and yielding to feverish excitement, shoots 1 wide ol the mark at which he aimed, he hits a target in some oilier direction, and with his random shot “ drives the cross.” Ilis assault therefore, upon the hanks, may pass fir what it is worth; it is not a point that will admit of argument, whether the banks have “ re lieved the people;” that question is forever settled by the condition of the people them selves. The motion for its discussion is at this moment entirely out of order, and we ! leave it to be called up at some future period,; when money is more plenty, and “we the sovereign people” are in easier and more prosperous circumstances. We have never for a moment supposed that the Kail Hoad Bank could or would “re lieve the people” to any great extent. If the loan oi seven hundred and fifty thousand dol lars should be obtained, it is to be applied to the construction of the Rail Road, as fast as it may be wanted, and not to be used for the purpose of shaving and speculation ; at least such has been and is now our understanding of the matter. We are the warm and sin cere advocates of a Rail Road, for the rea sons which we have previously assigned: that we believe on our conscience, that amid the progressing spirit for Internal and the rage for Rail Roads, if Columbus have n and equal advantages with her sister ci ties in the state, she must wither and die.— Dal we believe that the loan was to he oh- ; tained for the purpose of placing in the hands j of a few a large capital on which to specu- j late upon die misfortunes of others in the perilous times which are ahead, we would j wield our pen as cheerfully and zealously : against the project as any other man. This j seems to be the view which our friend, Gen. j | Bethune. takes of the subject; he is certainly j ! mistaken. We believe that the money, if oh- j j tained, will he appropriated to the building of! ! a Rail Road ; and we have every confidence j 1 in the high character of the gentlemen who j I have been placd at the head of this Institu tion; that tiiev will so manage its affairs as J to sustain their own credit, and protect aril further the interests of the community. CHURCH CONS..CRATION. The Episcopal Chinch in this city, under j the pastoral charge of the Rev. Mr. Carnes, j ivas consecrated to the service of the Most ! Hign on last Sabbath morning, the services ol I tiie altar being conducted by Hie Right Rev. Bishop Kemper. The ceremonies were ex ceedingly interesting and impressive—the ’ music delightful—and the discourse delivered 1 by Bishop Keuiper was full of eloquence. — This church is m every respect an ornament to our city, and while we conceive that it conics within the circle of our duties as pub lic journalists, we feel great pleasure in no ticing each progressive step which site takes i in her march through a moral wilderness. “ The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.’’ MONSIEUR BAUGK’S EXHIBITION. This gentleman’s exhibition on Monday 1 evening, at the Oglethorpe House, was nu ; merously and fashionably attended. No bet ter evidence, could be adduced of the skill ’ and science of Mons. B. in the art which he 1 teaches, than the beautiful and perfect style j in which his pupils exhibit their acquirements in the art of the gloves, the small sword, the ! broad sword, and the cane defence. The foil ! exercise between Masteis Bel! arid Degiaffen ■ lied, was highly interesting, and showed the i rapid proficiency which they had made, lor the limited time in which they hud been re ceiving instructions. Mons. Bulge’s school is large, numbering jat this time upwards of sixty pupils; trom what we have witnessed, we have pleasure in stating our belief in the entire capability of Mons. B. in the various bran dies of defence which he professes to teach ; and we would 1 recommend those parents who desire their sons to become accomplished in the beau tiful and manly exercise of self-defence, to j avail themselves of this opportunity, j Mons. B. has requested us to say that he i will continue to receive scholars until tlie third Monday in this month. He can be fiiund at the Oglethorpe House. The House ol Delegates, of the State of Maryland, have passed a Bill to abolish im prisonment for debt. Ayes 55, Nays 1-1. Tire Senate of Virginia have rejected an amendment to a small note hill, requiring the banks to pay specie for their $5 notes. Only i i seven votes were given in favor of the amend ; ment. Court house and uITY hall. In our advertising columns will be found a notice inviting proposals for building a Court House and City H ill, on the beautiful public square which has, for so long a time, stood vacant. We have been shown a plan of said building, drawn by our fellow-citizen Michael N. Clark, Esq. and which has been j accepted by the committee. The draft dis- j plays much taste and exhibits a building ol . fine exterior, and internally so arranged as to a fiord all the comforts and facilities of coil- ] ducting a Court, and the business which ne- I cessarilv attaches ibereto. Ihe joint com- j mittee from the Honorable City Council and j Interior Court, will riot consider ns as dis posed to Hatter when we say that too much credit cannot be awarded to them, lor the zeal and energy with which they have taken hold of this matter, and that their reward will consist in tlie gratification which they wit’ feel when they shall be able to point to as good a Court H"use anil City Hall, as the State of Georgia can boast. STREETS, ETC. Our streets are better than some through which we have travelled in our day, and not so good as others; and if all the public hands are kept constantly at work on great projects, as sewers, etc. we are quite sure that the minor consideration (assume may deem it,) of keeping the streets* in good order, will not be attended to. Not having time or room ■ for a full argument, we will content ourselves with a single example—we quote Crawford street directly opposite our oilice—“charity begins at home.” We are aware that the committee on streets are vigilant and industri ous, but they will excuse us for hinting that the 1 warm weather is approaching, and they can not be too particular in having the streets and ; back yards well cleaned. A strict and vigi llant police will ensure good order, cleanliness, j jand health in any city. ~ RACES. The second series, “ revised and correct- j *ed,” of Spring Races over “ The Western j j Course,” will commence at this place oil tlie . Blh day of May next, as will he seen by an advertisement in this day’s paper. Thej ! purses are good; there is twenty-one hundred dollars to he carried oil by some fortunate owners of swift nags; it is a “ big pile” for ! these pinching times; bring up your horses. If you’re going to enter that mare bring her i up. Hammond will be here with .John Gutd ron and Gerow, and has sent word that he is the man what has got the “ goers,” and j that any horse entering ngain-'t those of his train, may just exactly calculate to have a I leg sawed oft close up to the body. “ Come lon Macduff and cursed be he”—who lags behind, or gets distanced. COST OK THE WAR. i Mr. Secretary Poinsett has submitted to the Committee of Ways and Means nn esti ! mate of the cost of carrying on the Florida 1 war, so far as tlie past and present are con 'cerned. The appropriation for preventing land suppressing Indian hostilities in 1537, | amount, to $6,600,000, and the amount neces isary to defray the expenses of 1333, the ] Honorable Secretary thinks will be $5,-275,- j : 982 SS. This seems to he a very exact cal culation indeed; tlie odd dollars and cents ! I ’. . * i : we presume, are intended for pocket change, j ] assume of the officers snuff and others smoke, j But the amount required for the present year ‘ : will doubtless exceed the estimate, for, in the j j language of Mr. Poinsett, “ the uncertainty as j | to the amount of force which it will he neces- j jsary to keep in Florida, to continue the ope- J ] rations there, and also to prevent or repress i hostilities on the part of the Cherokees, ren- j i der it impracticable to enter into any thiiio ! ‘ . . * i ] like an exact calculation of the probable! amount of expenses this year.” So that the j i estimate which now covers nearly twelve mil i lions of dollars, will in all probability reach I ] fifteen millions at the close of the present yearl | As long as Indian wars last, there is no liar ! that our Government will ever again have a | [surplusfund for the people to quarrel about. 1 MtSS MARTINE A U.

The following shows tlie action had on the’ Sub-Treasury Bill in the Senate. Mr. Web ster’s rider renders nugatory the hill. Mr. Tipton presented an amendment wbiclr he asked Mr. Cuthbert to accept as a modi fication to nis own. Mr. T.plon's proposition was to s:rike out the 23*1 section, and fill tlie vacancv with a clause making it imperative on the Secretary of tiie Treasury tfi accept all duties, taxes, debts.or sums el money ac cruing or becoming payable to the United’ Slates upon the sales of public lands or other wise, to be collected and paid in gold and silver, or in Treasury Notes, as by law pro vided and declared, or in Notes ol Banks, which are payable and paid on demand in and silver. Mr. Cuthhert declined to accept the mod ification. Mr. Clay expressed Ins regret and urged the propriety of causing the payments to Government to he made in the general oil - ! eolation of the country. i Mr. King of Alabama, then moved to amend j ilie 23d section, (Mr. Calhoun's.) so as to make its operation commence on tlie 31st ol December, 1839, instead of ’SB, and to alter verbally, oilier parts of the bill, so as to con form to this modification. The proposition was then acceded to. The question was then taken on Mr.Cutlr berl’s amendment to strike out the 23d sec- 1 (inn. It was carried —Ayes SI, Nays 21. Ayes—Messrs. Bayard.

JOHN BASCOMHE. We saw this “winner of the Eclipse Sud | die,” about the last of January, and ibtmd him ;si tinicii improved in appearance, that we ! hardly recognized him. He has filled out ini- I mensely, and was in the finest health and spirits. A more intelligent face or brighter eye we never saw. The only mark about him ] resulting from his racing career, is his ‘ ‘ft fore j leg, which is slightly sprung ; every appeat anee of curb has vanished. Since li“ lias been withdrawn from tlie turf patches of’ white have appeared on his forehead ; his ! muzzle was always a mottled grey. He is quite as active as ever, and full of spirit ; in deed Henderson, hi* faithful groom (and rulv- Irer while on the turl,) thinks that il a small | slit was made in his forehead, he would go f through his skin when led out to take ids ex ! ercise. He was taken out on the Hampton Course just about the time we saw him, and ini being rode up to tlie Judges’ Stand, some lone tapped tiie drum in tlie stand, and he I hounded off iike a mountain deer. Hammond ! says he sometimes brings out his string of colts to see B iscoinhe gallop on the Irack, in hopes of tlieir profiting by such an example!
