FINE FUN FOR SATURDAY NEXT.

WE have the pleasure Of announcing TO the
lovers of good sport, and tha, too ON the authority
of several gentlemen Of punctual hunting habits,
that a real Red Fox will be turned loose for Il
chase on Saturday morning next about one hour
before day. The spot selected for the opening of
the game, is the Red Hill, on the Columbia Road
two and half miles from the Village, and near
Col. IIuIEr's crossroads. All, who wish to enjoy
this unusual exhibition, are invited TO join in the
chase. Now if this were in England, the ladies
would doubtless be included by this invitation.
But being here, where custom scarcely permits 10
the fair sex a participation in past-times of this
sort, we hardly know what TO say about it. We
will however venture, at nll hazards, to say,
I" Come on, ladies, if you choose" The promise
may be fairly made that for every " Diana Yer
non" who appears, n "FRAsK OsBALDlsToHE"
will be in attendance.
Gentlemen are requested not to bring puppies,
ours, flee or any mongrel relinue. Good blooded
fox-hounds may be entered, subject 10 the orders
and commands Of the leader of the chase. Pom
honor, gentlemen and ladies, this is no hoax.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1852-01-29

NAVAL PREpARAr1os.-The Norfolk Her
aid learns that orders have been issued by
the Navy Department ut Washington, di-
rccting the commanders of the yards at the
several stations TO report the cost of repair
ing and fitting out certain vessels now in
ordinary. At the Gusport yard directions
have been given to gre! ready with all poss-
bic despatch the U. S. sloops St. Louis and
Lerant, likewise to examine the u. 5. fri
gate United States, and sloop of war Fair
field, and ascertain what time would be ne
cessary to get them in condition for service.
The Herald thinks that these are indica-
tons that the government is not exactly sat-
isied with the existing state of affairs on
the other side of the Atlantic, and it felt a
little apprehension lest it might be involved
in some difficulty in the event Of Il rupture
among the European powers. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Secretary Graham has acted with
becoming prudence aud sagaci;y, in prepar-
ing to meet any contingency that may arise
from the bursting of the cloud, already sur
charged, on the opposite continent. We
have an extended commerce, and every
means should be afforded for its protection.

EFFECTS OF THE RECENT FIRE.

WE call the attention of our readers to the sale
of II. r. SpAyy, Esq, which is to take place on
the 10th February next. We have ascertaincd
that Mr.. SrASN's losses by the fire are much
greater than was at first calculated.
Mr. S. has done much to improve our town, but
does not feel able with his present means TO re-
build upon the ruins Of our late fire. Neither
does he feel at liberty to make private sales of his
property, for fear Of injustice to his creditors He
therefore offers his property on long credits, at
public sale, with the view 10 satisfy their claims.
His property is very valuable and is becoming
more so.
We hope lin this conne1ion) that the present
opportunity will be seized to enlarge and bcautify
our public square. With the addition Of the
ground, covered by the recent fire, it could be
made the most commodious and handsome Plaza
in the State.
Besides the increased losses of Mr.. S., it has
been asccr,aincd that the losses of several Of our
merchants were much greater than was first sup.
posed. We fear that the effects Of this disaster
are not yet all told.
BY any thing said above in reference to Mr..
SPANN's affairs, we hope the impression will moi
bc taken up that the business OF the Hotel will be
suspended We have certain information that il
will be carried on in its usual style without the
least internission.
