We stated on Friday morning, tha,
when the steamer pampcro touched at Key
West, the u. S. Judge and Collector were

We learn, that the sailors ot the u. S.
ship Albany, AT Havana, were thrown into
state 81 great excitement, on learning,
that the IiiIy Americans were to be shot
They waited upon Capt. Randolph to
get permission 10 land and prevent the
execution; they desired Inn to open his
batteries upon The town; and when The
guns were heard at the execution, tley

The brig J c. Anderson, Capt. Murray,

she sailed on the 18Th mat. Capt. Murray

New York. Potatoes, which looked fine
only week ago, are found bligI,ted Ma.
ny have commenced digging them earlier
than usual, with a view to saving them if
possible; but it seems to make but little if
any difference. In a few hours, flom fine,
healthy bulbs, they waste away with dis
ease III most unaccountable manner.
NEW MAIL AKRANGEMENTs.-W are
happy to learn that IN ten days, there will
be daily mail from Greenyille TO Colum-
bia. This IS decided Improvement, and
will he great convenience to our citizens.
Wc hope the next change will be, the re.
cc'pt OF the mails IN this place, from Charles
ton. IN twenty-four hours. The stages
should leave Newbcrry as soon as the cars
arrive, and may, reach Grecnville in twelve
hours-ii,e miles an hour. Grecnvlle is
destined to be great place yet. Situated
on the great thorouyhtare between the

Very lmpartinL

We laughed some over the follow.
ing hit. The Editor OF the "RiO
BraUo," at Brownsville, opposite
Malamoras, has got into some DIFF
ficulty with the Consuls residing at
that post. He has accused them of
improper conduct, and they have re-
piled through various channels to
his remarks. In his rejoinder the
Editor hits off the British Consul as
follows:
Foremost among these fault find
ing gentlemen, is Mr.. Alfonzo Uhde,
acting Vice consul for Great Britain.
This genllenan is very considera-
bic merchant and has an establish
ment on each side OF the Rio Bravo.
This is exceedingly convenient and
will readily enable a man, who
wishes 10 act with entire impartiaIity
between the two countries, 10 SNUG

minutes and twelve seconds, and the
rest at the various periods between.
She is a graceful as well as a rapid
walker. While on duty she is dress
ed in foil Bloomer costume, consis-
ting of pink silk dress, pink trousers

A CASE OF Real HERorsn.-Nirht
before last, Mr.. Thos. Launder. Of
this city, who keeps a grocery store
on Main street, near the upper
bridge, was aroused IRON bis sles,, in
the middle Of the night BY the call Of
a man in the street: When Mr..
Launder awoke, the man informed
him that something was on FIRE IN
his store. He rushed in and found
some boxes Of papers all in flame,
Immediately over which, on a shelf,
sal keg Of gunPowder. The shelf
and the keg containing the powder
had also taken Ere, and were burn
ing rapidly, the ksg considerably
charred. Under these circumstan-
ces Mr.. L. deliberately seized the kee
of powder, carried il into the street
and got water and put the Ere out
burning his hands badly in the op-
Grafton. This daring act ON the part
of Mr.. Launder is perhaps the only
thing that could have saved the lives
OF his family, who were sleeping in
another part Of the same building, as
we'll as the building itself aud all its
contents.
We have heard and read much Of
daring adventures and deeds Of valor;
but we have neither seen, heard or
read OF anything which looks to US
more like real true heroism than does
this daring feat OF our lellow-towns-
nan.-ZGResUiHe Courier.

Col. CRoCKET IN A QUANDARY.-
al never but once, y said the Colonel,
"was in what | call a real genuine
quandary. IL was during my cleo
tioneering for Congress, at which
time | strolled about in the woods,
so particularly pestered by politics
that | forgot my rifle. Any man
may forget his rifle, you know; but
it isn't every man can make amends
for his forgetfulness by his faculties,
| guess. Ii chanced that was stroll
ling along, considerable deep in Con-
gressionals; the first thing that took
my fancy was The snarling Of some
young bears, which proceeded from
a hollow tree; but ! soon found that
Icould not reach the cubs with my
hands, so ] went feet foremost, to see
il could draw them up by the toes.
| hung On at the Top of the hole,
straining with all my might to reach
them, until at last my hands slipped,
and down went, more than twenty
feet deep, 10 the bolton of-thai black
hole, ard there | found myself almost
hip deep in a Iamily of fine young
bears.
| soon found that might as well
undertake 10 climb up the greasiest
part of rainbow, as to get back, the
hole ir the tree being so large, and its
sides so smooth and slippery from the
rain.
Now this was real, genuine, reg
uIar quandayi II so be | was to
shout, il would have been doubtful
whether they would hear me at the
settlement, and il they did hear me,
the story would ruin my election;
for they were Of a.quality too cute
TO vote for a man that ventured into
a place that he couldn't get himself
out. Well, now, while / was calcu-
laiing whether il was best TO shout
for help, or 10 wait in the hole until
after election, heard a kind Of
grumbling and growing overhead;
and looking, saw the old bear com
ing down stern foremost upon me.
Ny motto is always go ahead' and
as soon as she lowered herself within
my reach, got a tight grip of her
tail in my LETT hand. and with my it
tie buck-horn halted pen-knife in the
other, | commenced sPurriDg her for
ward. III be shot II ever a member
Of Congress rose quicker in the world
than did, She took me out in the
shake OF lambs tail -

Maria. while she showed memy faults
with kindness, did not at all fondle
her own.
Our wedding day was fixed; and /
ordered a carriage for two persons.
Company was invited, and Maria
and were married. Nothing can
be more commonplace than all this
excepting. perhaps, it be, that my
wife and agreed to understand the
ceremony in an earnest and real
sense, and % live accordingly. The
result has been that now, after having
been married ive-anG-twenty years
1--WE celebrate our siLUer nxptidls to-
morrow,) we love each other better,
and are happier together than we
were in the first hour of our union.
We have, therefore, come TO the con-
clusion, that unhappiness inmarriage
does not proceed from the indissolu-
baity Of marriage, as some say, but
because the wedding service is not
realized in the marriage.
Do not speak to me of the felicity
of the honeymoon. II is but the
cooling of dovesl Nol we must walk
together along thorny paths, pene-
trate together the most hidden reces-
ses of lie, live together in pleasure
and pain, in Joy and in sorrow; must
forgive and be forgiven; and after
wards love better and love more.-
And as time goes on, something mar
vellOus occurs; we become lovely TO
each other, although wrinkles iurrow
the cheek and forehead; and we be-
come more youthful, though we add
year to year. Then no longer have
worldly troubles, mislortunes, and
failings any power to dim the sun OF
our happiness, for it radiates from
the eye and the heart of our friend;
and when our earthly existence
draws to lis close, we feel, indeed,
that our life and our love are eternal.
And this supernatural feeling is quite
natural after all, for the deeper and
the more inwardly we penetrate into
life. the more it opens in its depth Of
eternal beauty. Many happy hus-
bands and wives will testify TO this.
But observe, husband or wiIel To
qualify as such a witness, you must
have been at some little pains to find
-"the right one" Don't take the
wrong one, inconsiderately.

Rhymes for the Time..
BY MAJOR c. W. rArrrs, U. s. ARM

This world is very fanciful,
And changing all the time,
And some are fond of politics,
And some are fond of rhyme.
Patterns are some of piety,
Of wickedness are some,
One lectures on sobrietv,
Another treats on rum.
Some are the soul of honor,
A blessing where one lives,
Some ION the whole) have little soul,
Except what money gives.
Some will rebuke you rudely,.
Yet be your friend the while,
While some will smile before your face
And ''stab you while they SMILE"
Some are in love with gambling,
Some are in love with girls,
Some "hide their talents" in the earth
Some cast to swine their pearls.
The trader likes his "custom,"
The miser likes his ''heap."
One likes to sell at prices dear,
To buy at prices cheap.
The lawyer likes parchment.
The doctor likes scull,
The actor fancies most to see,
Parquette and boxes full.
The painter likes portrait,
The school boy likes show,
While the girl, ween, "of sweet six
teen,"
Would sometimes-like beau.
Asslassie likes laddie,"
And "a laddie likes lass"
And dandy likes TO look upon
A monkey in The glass.
A tailor's fond of cabbage.
A miser leans to locks,
A mill-wright dreams of wheels and
streams,
While pedlar's all for clocks.
A spirit likes a "medium,"
A medium, bugs called "hum,"
And with her toe, she likes to show
How spirits 60 and come.
Some like to follow fashion.
Without the purse 10 pay,
And starve for nearly halt year
To make tgrand display"
Some 90 abroad on travel,
To talk of foreign things,
While they who stop to keep the shop,
Go-"only to the Springs"
Some visit lands as "patriots"
In Hfllibuster" ship, 81
While others stay at home, and pay
Their bills in "CH5a scrip"
Some "strikes" for abolition,
Men of no small renown,
And in the cause of ."higher laws"
Knock the high Sheriff down.
While others preach secession,
Talk of ''lonely star"
And rave and swear by earth and air,
'sOur voice is still for war"
OH this world is very lanciful,
And changing all the time
And some are fond of politics,
And some are fond of rhyme.
