were in print, who never consented that their

are employed under those who are very real

not yet bean urged to certify to the improper

the character of the whole transaction:

THE DUEL IN THE OAR z
TALE OF EICkSBCRG.

EVERY traveller who has descended the
Mississippi within the last twenty-five years,
must remember Ticksburg, so singular in its
situation for town on the shelving dec!ivlty
of high rolling hills, with its houses scatter
ed in groups OIL the terraces. Every reader
of Amcrican newspapers during any Que OF
the last twenty-five years must remember
Vicksburg, so rich has been the fund "t ma
terial it has supplied for the circulating H.
braries Of "horrihIe mu ders," ducls, atrays,
and executions. by all sorts of summary

steam-doctors. In fine, everybody knows
that the place has been noted since its earliest
settlement for the belligcrent character OF
its inhabitants, and the number and alrocity
of the violent deeds which may be asserted
with literal truth, to have stained its every
street with the blood of human hearts.

the paradise of the bar
In very short time the new lawyer had
ample reasons to congratulate himself Oh
the choice of his position. His bland de
meanor, studious habits, and more than all
his eloouence In debate, won him patronage
and he rose, almost at a single bound, te
the first place in his profession. He was
employed in all the land SUITS and in mos
of the still more numerous and equally lu
crative cases of homicide, SO that in the brie
period of two years after his advent he ha'

But not my fathsr's money!
And still they hurried in the face,

His wrath was turned to swearing.
For by the lightniug's angry flash,

And one was round her lover!

homes The houses were all, however,
built of wood, and principally old. The
loss is estimated at S75, 1000.

New CoTToN-A telegraphic commune
cation yesterday informed US of the receipt
of the first bale of cotton at New Orleans
on Monday. The first bale last season was
received there on the 25th July. The Sa
vannah News says:
"Many persons have supposed that the
date of the first bloom and slso the date of
the receipt Of the first bale of new cotton
correctly indicate the probable yield of the
crop, that is, that early blooms and early
receipts indicate large crops, and later
blooms and receipts indicate short crops.
Correctly kept tables of these facts, however,
prove that they furnish no reliable data for
such estimates. In 1s45, the first bloom
noticed was on the 3Oth May, and the first
bale received was on the Both July. In that
year the crop was 2,075,000 bales. Three
years after, or in lS43, the first bloom was
noticed on tho lst of June. The first bale
received that year was on the 9th of August,
and the crop was 2, ,72S, 500 bales. In ls49,
the very next year, the first bale of cotton
was received on tho 7th August, two days
earlier than in ls4s, and yet the crop only
reached 2,095,0O0 bales. 1t will thus bo
seen that the arrival of the first bale is no
index to the crop. Some years when tho
receipts are early, the crop was short, and
when later the crop was large, SO that these
