GLEANINGS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS.

LIFE IN:TENNESSEE.—CoI. M. C. Gallaway, editor of
the Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanche, recently published the
following paragraph in regard to. Mr. Yerger, a political
opponent and prominent lawyer of Memphis :—"Yerger
is a lawyer, and nothing else. He has no experience in'
statesmanship, and is by nature and habit a very poor
politician. As a lawyer, he is learned, profound, and:
without a peer. As a politician, he makes small speeches,.
and puts stings in their tails. He has a nervous orga—
nisation, and is good at saucy repartee. He is audacious.
in appearance and in fact ; and in speaking he throws.
his head back, so that a scorpion from the ceiling could'
lizht on his chin, and feel as much at home as on the •
knot of a sturdy hickory." When this paragraph ap-
peared, Mr. Yerger was absent from the city. He
returned, however, on the 11th, and met Col. Gallaway
in the parlour of the Guyoso House on the evening of
the same day. Some words passed between them, when
Col. Gallaway withdrew, and went down stairs. Inter-
cepting Mr. Yerger, who soon followed, he told him
that he had insulted him. Another altercation ensued,
which terminated in Mr. Yerger's being stabbed twice.
The parties were then separated ; and Mr. Yerger's
wounds, which were not considered dangerous, were
attended to.

A BOSTON SLAVER WRECKED.—Bermuda papers of
the 14th ult. have the following intelligence :—,On
Monday evening last, the signal stations announced A
" brigatine on the rocks" at the West End. Assistance*
from the shore soon reached her, and she was found to'
be the American brigantine Virginia, four days from;
Boston, bound to the Coast of Africa. The captain, we
learn, made a bargain with the commanders of the boats
that went to his aid, to pay them $5OO upon their extri-
cating his vessel safely from the reefs. This paymont
he proposed to make upon his selling a draft on his,
owners for the necessary funds; but failing in his efforts.
to do this, he made up his mind to wait here until he'
could communicate with his owners. It was.
undisguisedly stated by some of the crew, who came on-
shore, that the Virginia was a slaver, was fitted up as-
such, and had the usnal provisions for such a voyage.
In consequence of this information, she was over-
hauled by 1131. gunboat Skipjack, the Virginia
having been previously extricated from the rocks and
taken into Murray's Anchorage 11 the pilots. The
officer in charge of the Skipjack, finding, as we learn,
that there was no mistake as to the alleged character of
the Virginia—her fittings, &c., showing she was a slaver
—took charge of her, and this morning towed her into
the port of St. George, where she now is, a prize to thee
Skipjack.

A SUCCESSFUL CALIFORNIA ADVENTURER.—NearIy
a third of the Vallejo principality has fallen to a Mr.
Swift, who owns about 17,000 acres. The history of
this individual is an illustration of California life which
cannot but interest our readers. He belongs to the
Pike County division of the population. He came to
California in 1848, and was on the ground at the begin-
ning of the gold fever. He collected a sufficient num-
ber of Indians for his purpose, and set them to digging
gold, paying them, probably, in whiskey and blankets,
and had the skill and courage to keep them at work and
appropriate all the proceeds of their labour, long after
that wave of white men had rolled in upon the diggings.
which ultimately broke up this system of Indian serf-
dom, and expelled the peons employed by their masters.
from the mines. But Mr. Swift had garnered his har-
vest, and hoarded the proceeds. He bought the lauds on.
which he resides for a song, and employed himself to
their improvement. Ho displays a judgment and taste in
the management of his estate, and the embellishment of his
grounds, which are most surprising iR a person who has
had so few opportunities. His whole domai nis said to be
fenced in, and his fields are covered with crops or with
thousands of cattle and horses. We rode for miles
within his enclosures. He has built a handsome house
of cut stone on the side of his property nearest the
village, and at a cost of $30,000, and was, when we
called, engaged in directing of the laying out of grounds,
the building of fountains, and the construction of
reservoirs for fish ponds. He retains his fondness for
peon labour, and keeps about him twenty-five or thirty
Indians, whom we saw occupied in the various labours
to which he assigns them. They were dirty, shiftless
and miserable looking objects, creatures as repulsive in
appearance as any I ever looked upon. Mr. Swift is
yet a young man, and has just taken to himself a wife.
All this prosperity and successful industry has yet its
dark side. The owner of these wide fields is the last
but one of a large family of brothers and sisters who
have died of fevers contracted in the country, in the
course of their exposed lives, and a pompous family
cemetry is one of the "improvements" which he has
been called upon to provide.
