LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
From Mondays Daily.

Christmas DGy.-The breaking OF our
press on Friday evening presented us from
publishing an article we had prepared on
the observance of Christmas. The celebra-
ton Of this day is endeared TO US all by the
hottest associations; it is in commemoration
Of that great event in The history of the
world by which we are lead in the way of
"Peacc and good will" and made partakers
alike in the mercy and love Of our Saviour.
Such a day may well be commemorate and
none who can properly appreciate it will
fail in its Observance. We are sorry, how
ever, to notice that a large portion Of our
citizens only look upon this day as one on
which they are at liberty to unbridle all the
baser passions of their nature; a day on
which they are licensed to indulge in OBJ
scene language and debauchery and make
the night hideous with their unearthly
clamors.
Saturday night was q night Of revelry and
dissipation, such as seldom disturb the usuaI
quiet aud good order of our city. some o
the most disgrsceful and heart rending
scenes were enacted in the Basement o.
the Tallmadge House, among which we are
informed a young man, whose name we sup
press out Of respect for his parents, who are
among the most respectable ip the city, was
seriously stabbed with a Bowie knife Of
dirk. Lads only sixteen and seventeen
years old were made b%eastly drunk, ant
from the reports which reach our ears from
every quarter we are almost led to believe
that the devil incarnate had been let loose
among our citizens and prompted them t'
deeds oflow and vulgar daring,
Christmas is a holiday of the affections
& if it cannot be turned to profitable accoun'
and observed in the proper spirit, it woul'
be a great deal better not to observe thu
day at all than to observe it only to pro
fame it. We have no objections to seeinI
men enjoy themselves in a rational manner
but we always stand ready to condemn then
when they consent TO make beasts OF them
selves, and hold them up as dangerous ex
amples to society,"

The ALLEGED OUTRAGE OF HI CUBAN
AuTHoRITtEss-Some of the passengers in
the steamship Crescent City, at New Or

foston against the Cuban Government for

night. tits saidito be,a fierce paper and
0breathes war; A.eo%rrespondent Of the New
York Express, who was IL passenger on the
Crescent City, rather unceremoniously
pricks this bubble. IL Is well known that
by regulation Of thefsport of Havana, no
yesselscan pass the Moro after sunset, 1t
seems that the Crescent City got under
weight and attempted ia pass the Moro af-
Ter the flag hadbeen lowered, and was of

The Holiday Season Tile crispy tone
the gleeful anticipOtions, and the generous
emenations othearts and pockets which
characterize the humanities of life on every
hand declare the grand annual fact that the
world has at last brought US into the sglorl-
Gus constellation of the Christmas Holidays.
An unusual brilliuncy sheds is genial re-
fulgeuce upon the daily path ofall the peo-
pie-that is, all who are not boweddown by
the mul,itudinous ellis that flesh is heirto'
the head is erect, the eye quick, sparkling
and inquisitive; and the Imagination, espe-
cially Of the young, ''runs riot" among the
bewildering iancies and prodigul endow-
ments of the coming festival time. But a
mid all these plentiful expectations some
guide along the shining scenes of promise is
indispensable to the discreet uses OF the
purse, and the j~udicious supply of that holi-
day repository Of good things which such
days are TO throw open to the revclry of the
heart. And the newspaper thus becomes
the ciccrone for tho occasion, to direct the
purchaser to the choice and abundant sup
ply provided for his use and accommodation
by the enterprisiug dealers Of the city. OF
course those who do not advertise have moi
sufficient confidence 10 their stock1to war
rant them in recommending it to the publici
on the contrary, those who have the largesl
and best vOriet make haste to let their able
ness and willingness to please the public
known. Our readers will please refer t.

A DECENTRALIZATION Ar HAyArA.--Among the

A FILLiBUsTEa AT MISUNDERSTANDING the
passengers on board the steamer Crescent,
which stopped at Havana, as usual, on her
late trip from New Orleans, was the dis
tipguished 6llibuster Colonel O'Hara, who
commanded the Kentucky regiment at the
battle Of Cardenas, in 1850. The news Of
the Colonel's arriyaliin port cuused no little
excitement aud many Of the officials, to
crafty their curiosity, visited the ship to
take u lookat this uudaciUus miibuster. A
price Of $25 900 was set on the Colonel's
head after the capture OF Lopez, and against
him there is standing a sentence o death.

Hi oh School Exhibition The North

the evening was most successfully carried
into effect by the highly accomplished young

pieces were we'll tuned aud gave evidence
Of a high order Of intellect. We believe
there is not a public school in the State
that can boast Of better advantages and a
higher state of proficiency than tho public
schools of this city.
