Fhe New-York American intimates, that
some of the Lottery vendors OF that city re-
ccived intelligence from Baltimore on Sunday

An advertiser, in the Charleston Patriot,
heads proposition for RATTLE with the fol-
lowing words: " Nothing Veatured-Nofhing
G8lNED" We marvel that this manufactu-
rer of inaxims did not reflect that the one ut

and both accepted the invitations. After din
