BULL FIeHT IN MApRIp.--The last bull fight
here was extremely fertile in Incidents. Besides
the ordinary number Of horses killed, and plea
dnres bruised, a municipal guard was gored TO
death, and the celebrated bull fighter, named Ha-
banero, had his skull cleft The municipal guard
was on duty outside the barrier, when a bull, one
of the famous breed belonging to the Duke of We
ragua (the lineal descendant of Christopher Co
hmbus) rushed against the barrier, troke it
down, and tossed the unfortunate soldier into the
air twice, each time goring him in a manner that
would have let out twenty lives If he had them.
The Habanero is one Of the picadores. The
horse that he mounted was raised from the earth
with him upon it, by the same bull, and thrown
against the barrier with fearful violence. These
two mishaps caused momentary thrill through
out the dense mass of spectators; but another
picadore came galloping into the arena, and anoth
er municipal guard took charge of the post that
his gored comrade had occupied, and the games
went on, and the mad approbatiye yelling of the
crowd at good lance thrust of the picadores, or
sword stroke given according to the best rules of
tauromechy by the n,atador, went on as il every
one was perfectly oblIvIous, that few moments
before two Of their fellowcreatures bad been sac

II. SEwARD.--A certain W. r. Gould, who writes
from Litchfeld TO the Hartford Courant, says he
is sea Mr.. Gould of Georgia." but that he was
not present at the meeting where objection
made to Hon. VIM. II. Seward. l
Mr. w. T. Gould is correct, and the Southern
Press must revise its laudation of the spirited
Georgian Our informant was mistaken to
the name Of the Chivalric Southron, who threat
ened down the proposition to elect Mr. Seward
orator for 1851. This individual was a stranger
| to our informant, who was told thnt he was " a

many others at the meeting, it seems. We learn
that he was South Carolinian IA certain Judge

Let his name be what it will, the fact, Except
ing the name) is as we stated it. The Southern
Press quotes this fact, prefacing it as foows:-
GA very significant indication of the sentiment
throughout New England was recently given at
Yale College, and an appeal TO the 'pocket nerve
from spirited Georgian alone prevented the &C.
lection Of this man as the Anniversary Orator Of
that Institution. ao rs Ip.ura e
The Press here quotes what we stated concern
ing the ballotng for Mr. Seward, and concludes
thus:
sit is q fayorite maxim Of Il sagacIous polIti-
clan, "that one fact is worth a thousand argu-
ments;;' and the simple statement of such facts
otweights any quantity of blarney. .ig
Let our Northern brethren be judged by their
acts, not their professions. Is, f..-
Now it is a pity TO disturb this hopeful mood
of the Southern Press, which appears to assume
that the Chvalry have their ''Northern brethren" |"
under bonds to behave well. But we must not
suffer it to feed its hope on delusion.
In the first place, the Phi Beta Kappa Society
is not Yale Colleges neither does it represent 'the
sentiment throughout New England" 1t is So
! ciety of College graduates, old and young, who
reside in all parts of the country.
In the second place. that Phi Beta Kappa Soci-
ETY., after allowing that impertinent Southron to
prevent the election Of Mr.. Seward, had "sober
second thought" and become mindful that there
are some other people in the country besides the
shareholders. The result was that it elected Rev.
John Pierpont its poet for 1851 We were not
aware OF this, when we gave our readers that first
statement, as we received it, from our informant
Neither was he aware Of it at the time.
! Mr. Pierponts opinions on the slavery question
are not only ''extreme'' in the same direction as
Mr.. Seward's; but they considerably "more
So" We hope the editor of the Southern Press
will keep cool over this fact, and not allow him.

AN EccENrR'c OLD BAcHELo wv find in the
New Orleans Plcayune OF the I0th instant a letter
dated Woodbridge, N j., July 5th, in which we
find the following singular account of eccentric
old bachelor - son s NJ, .-e,,--
An old bachelor has lately died in this place
leaving a fortune Of $4,000 From what we learn Of
him he must be one of the most eccentric and curl
Gus chaps that ever lived. His clot esupon being
taken off were separately folded in paper and were
never allowed the sight of the brush, silk kand-
kerchief answering every purpose. f3 i6u
Should he be in the road and spy wagon in
the distance, he would run for his life for fear that
that a speck of dust should chance to fly upon
him. The village bellies have enjoyed many u
laugh at him when returning from church to see
him take to his heels and run at the sight Of car
riage cloud of dust, and although he would
take no notice of them at the time, yet they were
not fogotten. He always endeavored TO keep MS
widows, whom he looked upon as something very
dreadful, and was never caught walking in the
road with one if he knew it. fs
With all his oddities, he was miserly to cent,
and would often be seen at the stores exchanging
quarter Of dollar for twenty-five pennies, there
by saving copper on every twenty-five These
he would not take either without examining every
one see whether it was not bad, rusty, or some
thing else. Many Of the articles he bought was
by the penny's worth, and hence his great use for
that particular coin. " hen he came to the last
penny Of hi, bundle IT was wrapped in two pieces
OF paper and laid away.
Thus lived this curious old man, and when
he approached death s door he wns as odd as ever
He could not bear the idea Of any one seeing him,
or entering his clothes, step on his shoes, or do
some other damage, and in this state he died, sun
wept, unpitied and uncared for" although worth
fortune Of $50 900.

~ There are set of men in the South,
who, under the specous cries of glorious
Union,"" noble country of Washington" the
asylum ofthe oppressed of nations" &c. are dis
playing a great amount of hypocrisy and bad
faith. They denounee every man who attempts
to show the wrongs of the South, as adisunion-
ist, and rebel against the Government: and are
exceedingly dissatisfied, if such persons will not
openly advocate disunion, per Sc. IL the motives
of such people are examined, by the end to
which their course leads, rather than by their
declarations, they will be found to be precisely
the motives of the most open enemies of the
South. The Free-soiler, who considers the
Constitution of the United States as an obliga-
ton interior to his own distractions and the
Aboitlonist who regards the stealing of slaves
as virtue, arc contending openly, for result,
which these covert enemies are bringing abouL
by inslduousness.--- Charleston Ep. NeDS

Another of my wasted years has gone,
And brought me nearer Dothing-bu the grave;
And thus they wax and wane, and one by one,
Leave, as they found Melancholy Is slave
Each stamps its wrinkles deeper on my brow
Each sheds it's frost upon my scattered hair
And those who knew me once, and see me now,
Speak Of me among "the things that We're.

II is my fortieth sun--at length appears,
And seems TO question me-" What hast thou done
Though this long waste Of miserable years
" Ere his eighth lustre, gallant Surry died,
But dying, left behind deahless name;
And hast thou then, no ho honorable pride
No noble aspiration after fame
g Horace and Virgil, Caesar, Scipio lit
With glory, ere thy years, the sword or page;
Ev'n whilst thou liv DIST, Napoleon, Byron writ
Their brief and burning annals on the age
Sand then ~ Enough! know it all--'tis true
Wasting my head and heart on Love or Rhyme;
While irrevocable moments flew,
persisted, and bequeathed no name to Time
