about way the story is re-paraded before the
country to the injury of Mr.. Clay, after HAVING
been once very prominently denied. Mr.. CLAW
has probably expressed his preference for Mr..

has grown this mountain.
Since writing the above we have been per

private letter OF his, and addressed to che of
his friends in this city. A.more complete denial
to all that has been said to the contrary could moi
possibly be given.

PARTICULARS OF THE SHOOTING CASE AT Rocket
A misunderstanding occurred at Rockets Wedne sday
morning between Messrs. Sydnor and Schonberger re-
ative to hauling some boxes of goods It originated in
this wise: When Sydnor reached the Wharf he saw
number ofboxes belonging to merchants for whom he
hauled goods, on dray belonging to Schonberger He
Immediately commenced transferring the boxes from
SIS dray to one of his own when schonberger, who
was standing by, but who personally unknown to
Sydnor, jumped upon the dray showed Sydnor off and
then knocked him down. Mr. Sydnor repaired to the
Mayors office and lodged complaint against his as
salant During the afternoon he again went to Rock
etts on business and whilst on the wharf, Schon-
berger accompanied by man named Monroe, approach
ing AS soon as they came within speaking distance
Schonberger remarked to Sydnor-'I understand YOU
have gotten peace warrant for me'-to which S. re-
piled that he had Schonberger then struck him. and
continued to strike when Sydnor pulled pistol and
shot him in the abdomen The bail glanced, however
and did not penetrate the flesh The bystanders then
interfered but their interference came too late. Mr.
Sydnor is represented being about IS years of age
and IS said to be snguarly amiable and peaceabe in
disposition.
No official notice taken of the matter yesterday
before the Mayors Court and believe no one has
complained to the authorities. Schonberer we pre,
sumo, will scarcely do so himself.

"A CoUNTRYMAN IN TRoUBLE.-On "Wednesday last

THE WING MEETING.

We publish in another column an official re.
port of the proceedings of the Wing meeting Oh
Tuesday night. They were characterized by
the utmost harmony and degree of enthu-
siasm that augurs we'll for the future. Some
little discussion arose on the resolutions reported
by the committee of II. Mr.. Bouldin ex-
pressed his regret that the committee had not
thought fit to present a resolution recommend
ing the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore for the
Presidency, but avowed his entire willingness
to vote for the resolutions reported without
amendment.
Mr.. Lyons argued in reply that the Ian
guage of the 1st resolution when analysed would
be found to convey the strongest possible re-
commentator of Mr.. Fillmore to the conf
dence and support of the Wings of the Union.
The resolutions passed without dissenting
voice.
The enthusiastic applause with which every
complimentary allusion to the present admins
tration was received by the meeting affords a
fiattering testimonial of the estimation in which
President Fillmore is held by the Wing party
in this region.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, stated in tho
House of Representatives few days ago, that
uary number of the Democratic Review con-
tanned until he saw it in print. Before the is
suing of the February NUMBER he did learn,
from gentleman from Vermont, (Mr. Peck,
that it would contain an attack upon General
Butler. Upon learning that fact, he immedi-
ately telegraphed to the editor to suppress it.
The editor of the Review writes back the fol-
lowing letter:
AsroR HOUSE, New ork, Feb. 20, 1852.
Hon. S. A. DoUGLAs.-SIR: l am happy to
inform you that your telegraph came too late to
save your friend, Gen. Butler: and candor COM
pels me to say, that had it come in time, it
would not have changed a word ofthe article
We know the man; and the Review would be
treacherous in it's duties to the party if it failed
to expose his delinquencies.

The Crescent and the City Printing


To our friends in the Council who stood by us
in our contest for the city printing, we tende,
our cordial Acknowledgements
| We did not from the beginning doubt the
result, aware as we were of the influences that
would be brought to bear against u.s. We felt
assured that our friends would support us, and
| the result has justified our confidence
The mere compensation offered is a matter Of
little moment, and we accepted the appointment
of printer to the city, not from the immediate
profits we expect to derive from it, but on
account of those little &c incidental ADVANTAGES
our bland neighbor of the Delta SO happily
treats of.
We expect the fact that our paper will contain
a transcript in English and French of the Mu-
nicipal acts of the city government, will give it
an increased circulation, particularly among
the Creole population, who will naturally be
anxious to be informed of what is being done by
their rulers Bond holders, too, in Europe. will
want to know what is the condition of affairs
here, and will look to the Crescent for informal
ton. Apart from the position derived from
being the official organ of n great commercial
mart, the above enumerated & incidental adyan
tages" would be sufficient to justify our ac
ceptance.

To Our Friends and Patrons.


The Crescent having been elected the oficia
paper of the consolidated city of NewOrleans
we commence to-day the publication of the acts
and doings Of the new government.
We need not apprise those who feel an interest
in the direction of public affairs, and who wish
to be informed of the acts of the municipal gov
eminent, of the advantages to be derived from
being subscribers to our paper. All who would
keep up with the times, will find the requisite
information in our columns, and no where else.
Those wishing to subscribe should do it at
once, in order that they may lose no link in the
chain Of information which we will make public.
The subscription-ist of the Crescent is now
as large as that of any paper in the city, and is
increasing rapidly. The advantages that our
position will give us will cause that circulation
to increase still more rapidly In very short
time we expect to have larger list than any
of our contemporaries
Taking these facts into view, those who adj
yertise and understand the advantages of ex-
tended publicity, will know where to hand in
their favors. "H
Let our friends come forward at once!
