AMERICAN IMMORTALITY.

Mr.. EDIToR: One undivided shout. az
from one man, is and has been ascending
from the American people, on account Of the
battles Of Palo Alto. Resaca de la Palma,
Monterey, Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, SC.
1t Is everywhere proclaimed that America
and The American armies have covered them
selves with immortal and amending glory.
II IS said foreign Kingdoms. countries, Kings
and Dukes and Lords, and the whole wide
world are struck with not aslonishment only,
but amazement al the achievements of Ameri-
can valor! Five thousand Americans have de-
leated twenty thousand Mexicans Now,
sir, to what are we to attribute all this Is
II the fruit of downright ignorance in the
world, and of shameful and debasing and
disgusting ignorance in the American peo-
pie: Are there no battles mentioned in
history surprising these? At Marathon, in
Greece, the Alhenians, ten thousand in num-
Der, defeated one hundred and ten thousand
Persians. At Thermopyle, three hundred
Spartans resisted successfully for thu ee DAYS
.tue millions of Persians. At the Battle of
Granicus, Alexander, The great murtIerous
robber, al the head Of thirty thousand Mace
domains. defeated sir hundred thousand Per-
slams. The same murderous robber, at the
head of about the same number Of Macedo-
mans, afterwards defeated fUe hundred thou
sand Persians at the battle of Issus. The
same murderous, and, might add, drunken
robber, afterwards, at the battle OF Arbela,
with abou, the same number of Macedonia
ans, defeated, fire hundred thousand Persians.
Lucullus, the Roman, at the head Of ten
thousand Romans, defeated Tygranes, King
of Armenia, at the head of about two hun-
drea thousand Armenians. ] could enume-
rate other similar battles. 1t is not neces-
sary to 60 further. state chiefly from
memory, as have not the authority for all
these battles before me, but am sure upon
examination they will be found correct. Is
not the boastlng of the American people rhe
result funpardonahle ignorance. o Aurer-
lean valor! O American immortality hide
thy ''Gimnished heatp' in eternal shame;
not as the ostrich, in bed Of sand or
bunch of straw, but with the mantle Of I'M
ending oblivion. TRUTH.

FIRST DISTRICT COUNTRYSIDE VS.. John E.
CleUeldnd.-This occupied the whole day yes
terday. The prisoner was indicted for arson. 1t
was shown that the prisoner had leased store, at
the corner of Julia and Magazine streets, and had
property insured therein to the value of $780, He
left the store at o'clock P NJ, and at 9 o'clock
thereafter the sound and smell of fire perceived
the door burst open, smoke discovered, and, when
the air was admitted, flames burst out. The fire
Immediately extinguished-one of the witnesses
said, in two seconds. The building was not at all
burned but some barrels containing lard, cotton
and spirits turpentine, were more or less consumed.
The prisoner was defended by Mr.. Upton and Mr..
Frost, who had been appointed by the Court The
counsel for the defence argued that to constitute
arson, some part of the building must be actually
consumed-not merely charred or blackened, but
really destroyed by fire; that this, they argued
was not proved by the State. They further argued
that it was incumbent on the State to prove that
tie building which it was averred had been set on
fire, belonged to another that here the State had
failed. The Court charged, we thought, rather
against the prisoner; but the Jury brought in YER
diet of GO Not Guilty.''

UNRuLY NEGRoEs-T'he police department
should be more attentive in regard to the arrest of
low cabarets filled by vicious slaves, and the
proprietors of such places not unrequently do all
they can to receive their patronage. These negroes
when inaamed by liquor, are ripe for any deed of
violence, and half the robberes that have been
committed of late may be attributed to them. There
is Municipal law against selling liquor to slaves,
and we hope for the benefit of the community that
it may be rigidly enforced. Our attention was
called to the above facts by noticing that sixteen
negroes had been arrested night before last by the
Second Municipality police, on the charge of hay

the Municipal authorities will look to the matter.
