The CoxTEsr At ruE Hrruoao1R.
1T win h recollected that Yam
kee Girl challenged all the French
horse.women 10 New York, to ride
for wager. the contest 10 come of at
the Hippodrome.
The Yankee girl appeared Accord
ing to notice. dressed in true Ameri-
can style. her sash representing the
stars and stripes and shield upon
her breast, while her competitor wore
the tri-colors of France.-Bets ran
high. The first evening an unusually
large audience witnessed the contest.
The Yankee girl took the lead beating
her rival, to the delight Of Johnathan
who sat glorious in high collars and
plaid pants, on one side, but to the
notification of the French gentleman
who sat opposite, furious in his NOUS
tachc.
The second night y the crowd was
still greater--the excitement more in
tence-the French feeling higher,
and the universal Yankee nation in
great force. The Yankee girl was
again triumphant, leading the French
woman from the start.
The third night. the enthusiasm Of
the parties (uow distinctly drawn
was at the very highest. The stars
and stripes Auttered proudly in the
breeze, and the tri-colors waved
proudly too. The national feeling
was thoroughly aroused and as the
Yankee girl came in winner, ire
uendous shout went up for the VIC
tress. The orchestra struck up Hail
Columbia, and thus ended the great
contest, to the glory Of America, The
excitement Of the city, and the profit
Hippodrome.
We are sorry to spoil the above
graphic report, by adding. that private
letters to this Office, represents that
the Yankee girl, speaks nothing but
Fyench-the whole thing being a
humbug. When will New York quit
her crooked ways? EDS Cotton

This favorite and right honorable
New York festival was celebrated yes

A large number Of the citizen soldiery
were "out," and the Veteran Corps,
in particular, who justly honor the
day as it once honored them, made an
uncommonly strong parade for their
customary national salute. In the
evening the City Hall was brilliantly
Illuminated by the authorities, and
other buildings, private and public,
were periodically lighted and deco.

~The Crescent Of the 9Th inst.
has an article headed Opening ofthe
Great Pacific Railroad |" We sheuld
like to know what is meant BY this!
Is this the railroad that runs out to-
wards Opelousas? Ifso, it would be
we'll to wait until it goes father. before
calling it, the Great Pacific. :" The
Crescent's reporter is very poetic in
his description Of the opening" He
says:
"At a few minutes after IL o'clock
the order of all aboard was given and
the train moved off. The national flag
was hoistea, and the band struck up
1.-The Star spangled Banner to the
great delight of the Algerines. As
the locomotive was placed on the track
reversed, and was only guided by its
Ranges, the engineer did not think it
advisable to move at a very rapid
rate.
We should think not. The follow
ing descriptive" Of the swamp. is a
very poetical piece of composition.
The cars run through scenes Of cul-
ture. "The laundering train passed
rapidly to the region Of swamps, where
the cypress hangs its solemn drapery
of moss and then again into broad
patches of marsh, tenanted by flocks OF
wild-fowl that sprang from their con-
cealment in terrified haste, and sped
away on whistling wings. These pas
sed, sugar estates again intervined, that
stretched away to the horizons edge"
The horizons ledge" seems very
clost to the Crescent City from this
description. The locomotive runs sew
enteen miles, all told, from Algiers.-
Too much help to works Of improve
ment is required from the press-the
papers from day to day labor with
railroad articles of the very heaviest
kind, and works are spoken Of, as be-
ing "near.y done" when they are
scarcely commenced.
A great deal has been worked out
on paper for railroad enterprises, and
as humbug is the order, we are sorry to
say that fair proportion of it has in
advertently (no doubt crept into the
public prints, about railroads.
rHans Yorkle says, in bis epistle
from New York of the 25th ulto.,
that
Twenty-three States Of the Uuion
have to-day celebrated the annual
Thanksgiving day-which, originated,
as a festival, in New England, has
become nationalized: at least ten
! millions of people have to-day fattened
themselves upon those mercies of
Heaven which are best recognized
when bestowed on the plate. One
million of turkeys, one million Of pes,
and ten millions of potatoes-sto say
nothing OF the provender SO graphic
ally known in the West as chicken
6xin's' Shave disappeared before the
ravages of appetite. Probably one
hundred thousand have to-day planted
| in their constitutions the seed of NOR
tai disease /; and as many will, this
night, dream of being in coal mine,
stiAed with vapors and buried under
huge masses Of earth-an idea as red
olent of nightmar as any | can con-
ceive of. These statistics | present to
friend De Bow, whose report on the
census is about being delivered com

THr Pr Es1pENrs MEssAGE-The
New Orleans Delta Of the 9th inst
says that the Picayune published an
extract from the message, dated the
4th inst, in. which the document is
spoken Of in the future tense. The
Delta says there has been a breach OF
confidence somewhere, and if any OF
the Cabinet have been guilty Of the
fayoritism Of communicating the te-
nor of the message before its official
publication, it should be exposed.
Shall there be any disagreement upon
this subject? We hope not. Where
there is ESQ much rivalry in the "pro-
mitigating business; the wares and
merchandise should be cast out fairly for
the reporters to. have scramble after;
if there is fear Of its being'torn to
pieces, in the haste with which it is
hurried to the press. e.-t>
1.-THE message has been shown conf
dentially' to few favorites, before
delivered we hope that the Delta may
be enabled to ferret out the parties.

rAnother Comet was discovered
on Friday evening, the 25th ut., by
DIR. Robert Van Arsdale, Of Newark,
N. j., in the constellation Of Cassiopea
which is nearly in the zenith. The
Advertiser says it is of a small, round
bright appearance, with an exceeding
ly rapid motion, in direction ap-
parently opposite to chat of the sun.
After only a short observation. it
changed its place very perceptibly.
No record of this heavenly visiter is
known to have been previously made.
It is no: apparent to the naked eye.
A recent number of the Merchants
Ledger estimates that, since the birth
of our Saviour, 1858 years since,
thirty-two thousand millions of human
beings have lived upon this earth !;
and Of these all but about nine hum
dred and sixty millions have gone
down to the grave. OF this great
army of the dead, nine thousand mil
lions have died by war; eight thous-
and millions by famine and pes:ilence !;
FIVE hundred millions by martyrdom !;
nearly six hundred millions by intoxi-
eating drinks, and the remaining thir-
teen thousand millions naturally or
otherwise.
