The Courier of Saturday in remarking tina,

The Courier of Saturday in remarking that Bal
timore had become proverbial fur fight, and riots
added in The usually deceptive strain of loco TO-
colsm cit should not be forgotten that BaIiimor
isl registered whig cry" Now 'the event in
question:, and which drew forth the observation
was a mere election row and that, too, begun by
the loco focos from evaporation at their defeat.
Baltimore, is now a whig city, but it only be-
came SO last yenr when Kennedy (twice or thrice
defeated before) carried the district for the who
party. This was the frst occasion when Baltimore
could "be egistered a wing city. Prior to that
period it had always been under the domination Of
the present ruling party, and the sneer Of the
Courier can only affect thosa who are ignorant of
ne c''y'' history. Those riets which gained fcr
Baltimore the cognomen ofstthe mob city," all
occurred during the period when Jackaonism was
in the ascendant. When the great ROW occurred
in which the office of the Federal Journal was
pulled down. and lives and property to a large ex.
tent were destroyed, we would ask tho Courier
was Baltimore "regis'ered a whig city!" When
the riots and disturbances took place connected
with the return of John Nelson, was Baltimore
s'reeis,ered a whig eity7" When the anarchy and
virlence were exhibited regarding the "Bank of
Maryland,' and by which were destroyed the
houses of private citizens, and the pence and sa-
tety of the whole city wets endangered, was Bal.
,imors registered "a whig city?" But it is useless
to expose the talsity of the accounts daily propa
gated by the loco foco press.
1t isimpossible even by the mos, signal defeat to
prevent them recurring to the same position. Like
flies in summer, one may beat them off thousand,
and n thousand times, yet they will still return to
the self same spot, undeterred by objections, I'M
influenced by defeat. Truth has as little to dc
with the loco foco argument, ms tho pure ore has
with counterfeit coins they will wash their false
dies in the deceptive metal until the silly take
them to be real Truth may rub the spurious mix
lure Oft, and show 10 all the native brass, yet viii
their ui,erers wash them Ger and DER again, un
'lushing al exposure, land %glorying in defeat.

A considerable number Of sportsmen took their
place in the Nashville Rail Road cars, on Sa tur-
day, at 4 p. nj. for the purpose of passing the night,
and morning of yesterday in hunting the Big
Prairie. The immense hocks Of snipes, rail, hask
birds and prairis hens or grouse that we're seen as
the cars travelled along, gave mos, favorable an.
t%icipa.ion of sport. Large hocks of ducks wore
already seen lowering over the Lake and gave
goodly promise of excsllen. feeds to come. The
bay Gus and the lake shore are crowded with fish.
and on the banks Of the former, ducks and
other birds are to be had in abundance. The
Prairie Cottage is hourly assuming moro and more
Of its intended aspect. The building is nearly
completed; and besides a bar, kitchen, ladies'
room, and gentlemen's apartment, there are si1-
teen sleeping rooms that will be ready for occupa-
ton in a few days. On thu prairie front, and for
ZONE distance, right and left, a shell road Is com.
pleted, which the shell bank on the lake side nice
ly leveIled and raised, gives the house quite an air
of comfo't and enjoyment.

~ We observe that the New Orleans papers
speak in high terms of our fellow citizen, Captain
Swon, OF the Steamboat ST. Louis, and they say
that his boat was mos, splendidly illu minated upon
the arrival OF S. .. Pren,iss at that city.

L. is quite true that this paper said SO, bu, i. is
not true that the boa, ,ras Illuminated. There
was a mistake in tho name. 1t was Capl. Laurent,
of the bayou Sara,' > WHO lit up his boat SO bril-
liantly, and without disrespect to Captain Swon,
who is highly esteemed, it is but fair that credi,
should be given where it is due. Captain Laurent
took great pains to light up the "Bayou Sara' as u
compliment TO the Wings in general, and their
eloquent guest in particularly. The Captain i.
an excellent, skilful man, and withal a thorough
going and consistent Wing, and we mos, pIeasu
rably make this counter statement, a seconc

papers have copied our error, but not its correction
which appeared the day after.

Capt. Marryatt is making himself moro motto.
rious in Louisville by sons private matters than
even his celebrated stoasl' has made him elsewhere.
Some of the minor prints in the above named city
have been gratifying the public appetite for SANDER
by givingde,ails of the affair in so gross q manner as
to render their republication impossible. The out
lines Of the story scarcely admit, of any reasonable
doubt, if concurrent testimony of some hundreds,
is conclusive. AT all events il is thoroughly be-
lieved in Louisville that a iai,on existed between
the lovely wife OF an iteneran, phrenologist, and
the travelling novelist. After an unusual public
erpo,e the injured party has publ shed d certificate
stating that he is 'perectly ,ati.fed,'' and if such
be the case there is no good reason why others
should complain. !, is true tina. a variety Of jokes
are current that tread rather hard on the soft
points OF the disciple of Spurzheims Sumo say
that he has relinquished his formor practice while
lectu,ing, of illustrating his positions by reference
to his own eaput, from feur il is asserted thnt his
frontal might display some prominences unk nown
to the legitimate syslemh of Phrcnology. Ii is
though, the itenerant Captain will make the mat
ter a subject for his new work,-we doubt it, no,
altogether from the forbearancs of the hero, as
from his knowledge that affairs Of this sort have
nothing more! about them.
AS we cannot give the printed accounts of this
affair we copy the following from a private letter
which va have been favored with. 1t is dated
Louisville 2Sth Sept. and reads thus.
"The Cali House was the scene of one of these
eccentric movements on Wednesday night last
DR.. Collyer, the Phrcnologist has been residing with
his young and beautiful wife in No. 9 tor some
time past, and adjoining to him was Capt. Marry
att of The British Royal Navy. About ? o'clock in
The night Collysr walked up and was very natural
ly as,onished to find the lovely partner of his bo.
som absent sllke from her legitimate place and
from the apartment. His suspicious, 1 presume,
had been previously aroused for he went directly
to Marryatt's room, and, horrible to behold! he

ports that on his entrance into the room Marrya,l

eprang up and made at him with d gun whereupon
he, Cullyer, bravely scampered off making the pre-
misses rcsound with the blended cries Of murder,
Ere, &c. &c. The whole establishment was rou-
sed and gathered to the rescue, when the scene is
said To have been ludicrous beyond description
Marryatt and Collyer still remain in the city, and
there was for a time some talk about submitting
the former TO the tender mercies of Judge Lynch
He however boldly braves public opinion and most
singular to believe has been able by threats Il
brlses to elicit from Col'ye r a certificate that the
whole affair is a falsehood and the fruit of a SLAM
dsrous malignity. There is no doubt however oil
the truth Of the aRair. Old Throgmorton told Mar
ryatt the next day that no had d~isgraced his house
and that if he did not lenye it Immediately, hs
would thrash him. The book which tho Captain
il writing upon this country. will be an interesting
production.

JOEL PARKvR.-This excessively pious divine
who had 50 much at heart the reforming the ini-
quities of this ungodly city, and the saving OF the
souls of its blind and a,heis,ical inhabitants, ha
left his f,ck, and pitched his ten, among the abo'
litionis,s of the North. Honest Joel aftsr a resi-
dence of three winters or four, found that neithe
the moral nor physical climate Of New Orleans
suited his holy temperament. He felt that ii was
not only itnpruden', but dangerous 10 the cause OF
reform and true religion to risk his life among his
people during the summer season, on this point @

self and his congregations, hs has settled the mat
tor by declining to return to it. Honest joel W 9
are happy to learn, has not left our miserable city
quite destitute of worldly goods, some Of his sPs-
situations We learn afforded him q very handsome
income.

ten,ions a little, and instead Of seeking to mono
polise TO itself u man Of Rev. Parksr's superemi,

Few things are more desirable in the int rnal
order OF our city, than that unnnimity should pre-
vail between tho separate municipalities, par,icu-
lutly among the military companies Of each. An
approach was yesterday made towards so much
desired a union, which at first threatened 10 pro.
duce the very opposite effects. Some Of our newly
raised companies in the second municipality paid
a visit to the first to show there was no ami.

quested Lieut. Doane 10 assume his ommand and
