On Saturday Gen. Yates, who, with
DIR. Mott was looking at the operation of
the Telegraph, requested Mr.. Cartes to
inquire whether the Western Cars had
arrived at Utica from the West. The
answer was "No." In ten minutes the
question was repeated, and the answer
"Yes," was returned. The General
then sent an order for a Salmon Trout,
which, in the event OF It's coming by the
Cars, he promised to divide with DIR.

Naval AnecdOte.

Before the war, says the Nautical Mag
azine, Captain Garden and the Macedo-
Man were at Norfolk; Ducatur was there
too, and warm intimacy soon joined in
friendship two kindred hearts. While
discussing naval affairs one day, Garden
said: decatur, your ships are good
enough, and you are clever set of fell
fows; but what practice have you in war!
There's the rub. One of these days we
will probably have brush together, and
if catch your ship at sea, | will knock
her into cooked hat, Stephen" "Will
you?" said Decatur; 81 WILL BET VOC A
HAT ON IT.. The bet was agreed on,
and the conversation changed. But a
few months elapsed ere the war that had
been threateningcommenced, and the two
captains, by some singular coincidence,
met. The results ofthe action are known.
Captain Garden, on going on board the
United States, was received by Lieu
tenant at the gangway, TO whom he ten
dered his sword. mot to me, sir"
said the officer, ''but TO the Captain. =
"And where is the Captain - said the
embarrassed Englishman. ''fIe is stand
ing aft, there; that is the gentleman, sir,
in tarpaulin hat and round jocket." Car
den went aft-and his feelings on meet
inc, under such circumstances, his old
friend, may be imagined. As he offered
his sword to Decatur, the officer said:
"No, Garden, / never take the sword of
brave man-you have fought gallantly.
But" said he, laying his hands on the
others shoulder, 81 WILL TAKE THAT HAT
my dear fellow" In transferring 10 the
United States the suite of Capt Garden,
fine band was included. In the after
noon, when dinner was announced in the
cabin, Capt. Garden said to Decatur
|Those musicians are very skilful, and |
have always had them on deck while at
dinner" Very well,'' said Decatur,
1--WE will have them up" The band was
ordered on deck to play, and Com. Deca-
tur was asked what air he would like to
hear. "Let them play Britannia Rules the
Wave" said he, with slight laugh.

The SLAVE TTADE.-The schooner
Patuxent was recently captured by the
American ship YORKTOWN, on the coastIof
Africa, as being engaged in the slave
trade. Both vessels put into Bermuda,
from whence they are hourly expected to
arrive.
The Liberia Herald states that the sla-
vers at Gallinas are at length forced into
rather unpleasant predicament They
have been lately so closely watched by
the cruisers as not to be able to ship any
slaves since the Atalanta left. The Pa
tuxent's cargo Of three hundred was read
y, las the Herald states, and had been
marched down to Cape Mount, some
where in the vicinity of which they would
have been shipped in two or three days.
II she had not been taken. This last
hope being cut off, it seems, the slavers.
IN despair OF an opportunity to ship, and
unwilling to bear any longer the expense
oi feeding the slaves, emptied their bar
racoons, and gave away the slaves, or di-
vided them among the head-men of the
country, to labor for them as an eouiva-
lent for their food, with the promise giy-
en- that they should be promptly returned
when there was an opportunity to ship
them. =

want beau!-I want beau!
'Tis sweet, at least they tell me so,
To waltz or walk or sail, or row
With him you mean to marry.
And then-but o! it must be sweet!
To have one kneeling at ones feet,
And hear him there his vows repeat!
BY Jove, but / will marry!
I'm old enough to have beau
And oft tell my mamma so;
As often she replies, "Oh, no!
You are too young to marry"
Odd cooks It's always thus with those
Within whose bosoms coldly flows
The streams of love, to bells and beaux
Who have mind to marry.
Maids who have their hearts for sale
Some forty years-whose charms are stale
May-and they have cause to-rail
At those who wish to marry!
And ma'as who, by experience aught,
Know all the bliss with whichis fraught
The welded life, | think should nought
Object when girls would marry.

that shows with what rapidity commni-
cations may be made and to what utility
the Magnetic Telegraph may be applied
The circumstances as related to us, are
that gentleman died in Albany, making
his will, and giving directions that his
body should be removed to Massachu-
setls for burial. Upon opening the will,
II was discoved that he had bequeathed a
large portion Of his property to young
lady, then in Utica. The time for adj
vising her Of the fact was short before
burial must of necessity take place. The
friends had recourse to the Magnet
&c Telegraph to convey the intelligence of
her good fortune, and to inquire if the
cars were then at Utica, desiring her i'm
mediate attention at Albany. The result
was, that in ten minutes from the time
the communication was started from AL
bany, the young lady was in the cars at
UHca, taking leave of her friends, ready
10 be whisked off to albany.
The usefulness and convenience of the
Telegraph is being tested in an hundred
ways. The Members of the Bar use if
almost hourly.

NuIlifxing a Pardon.

Sometime last fall a pedlar was con-
victed in Cumberland county of selling
goods without license and sentenced to
pay a fine of $50. in default of which he
was committed to prison. He immedi-
ately received pardon from Governor
Skunk, remitting the fine. A motion
was then made TO the Court for a rule to
show why the Fl FA. should not be set
aside on the ground that the defendant
had obtained remission of the fine by
the Governors Pardon. When the rule
came up it was argued by the defendant
that the Governor has the power of remit
ting any fine due the commonwealth be-
fore the money is actually paid. 1t was
contended on the other side that the COM
monwealth had nothing to do with this
fine, as one half was to 60 to the county
and the other half to the inlormer, and
that, therefore the Governor could not
remit the fine, as the informer and the
county had obtained vested Interest,"
Judge Hepburn, sustained this view Of
the case, and accordingly decided that the
pardon was Intellectual to relieve the de-
fendant from the fine. The Judges
opinion is given in full i'll the Carlisle
Volunteer, from which we gather these
facts, and we believe it fully sustains the
position he has taken in the matter. The
independence he has shown in resisting
the improper interference of the Execu-
tive with the ends ofjustice, we hope will
have the effect to restrain him from exer-
cising his pardoning power in all doubt
tul cases, ii nothing more.-Lancaster

love the ladies, every one
The laughing ripe brunette;
Those dark eyed daughters of the sun,
With tresses black as jet.
What rapture in their giances glow,
Rich tints their checks disclose,
And in the little dimples there,
Young smiling Love repose.,
love the ladies, every one,
The blonde so soft and fair,
With looks so mild and languishing,
And bright and golden hair;
How lovely are their sylph-like forms,
Their alabaster hue,
And their bushes far more beautiful
Than rose buds bathed in dew.
Hove the ladies every one,
Zen those whose graceless forms
Are rugged as the oak that's borne
A hundred winters storms.
The young, the old, the stout, the thin,
The short as well as tall,
Widows and wives, matrons, and maids,
o, yes, love them all.
love the ladies, every one,
None but wretch would flout 'em
This world would be lonely place;
If we were left without 'em.
But lighted by a woman's smile,
Away, all gloom is driven,
And the most humble home appears
Almost little heaven.
/ love the ladies every one
They're angels all, God bless 'em
And what can greater pleasure give,
Than to comfort and caress 'em.

So I'll drink their health in water

And every mothers daughter.
