The REGIMENT OF "GENTLEMEN."-Ag gay
regiment of light horse were in the battle of
Waterloo, all inhabitants of a continental
city which l shall not name. An oppOrtuni-
ty occurred for them to charge the French
cavalry, an aide-de-camp came to them with
an order or request to that effect from Lord
Wellington. Their colonel in great surprise,
objected to the encmy's strength, their CUR
asses, and the consideration which had unac-
countably, he said, escaped the commander
in-chief, that his regiment were all gentlemen.
This diverting response was carried back to
the Duke, who despatched the messenger
again to say that if the gentlemen would take
post upon nm eminence, which he pointed to
in the rear, they would have an excellent vie'0
of the battle, and he would leave the choice
Of proper time to charge entirely to their
own sagacity and discretion, in which he had
the fullest confidence! The colonel actually
thanked the aide-de-camp for this distinguish.

The Work GOES oN.-From the daily lists
of nominations and combinations received
from our telegraphic correspondents at WASH
ingtsn, our readers will be amply satisfied
that General Pierce is acting rapidly, upon
the principle that the sooner the wings in Of
flee are relieved of their suspense the better.
The work goes on. Whole patches of at
torncys, collectors. postmasters, surveyors,
Judges, receivers, and the like, are despatch
cd at a mornings sitting Of the cabinet; and
before dinner time the next day the Senate
have pronounced them all good men and
true. Among the appliants pretty literally
provided for, are number Of those ex-mem-
bers of Congress who would otherwise, in
default Of q reelection, be thrown, perhaps,
out of employment. "The work goes brave
ly on" Others who were active among tho
workies of the campaign, have, also, return
ed from Washington with writ Of hdbeas
corpus against some unfortunate wings, who,
failing in the election of Gen. Scott, have
thus lost their bread and butter. And still
the work goes on. Some, who have been
among the most industrious Of the office
seekers, have failed, while others, who have
kept aloof, have been hunted up and promo
ted. And still the work goes swimmingly
on. The guillotine runs rs smooth As oil
no groans, no shrieks, no heart t-breaking Ia
mentations rend the air. Never saw the like.
But there is patriotism in submission, when
feur years may turn up another trunp-pcr-
haps. Who knows! Bat still the work goes
on.-.Ner York Herald.

OFFICE HUSTISG.-A correspondent of the
New York Observer, in describing a visit to
President Pierce, at the White House, says:
"The pressure upon the President by of.
flee seekers is tremendous, indescribable, and
the truth would not be credited, if should
write only what saw myself. Think of a
full-grown man asking the President for a
petty postofficc IN the presence Of fifty guests!
Think of fifty, yes, Of hundred, men be.
sieging the doors of each of the Departments,
every moment dogging each officer with re-
solution worthy If better work, and giving
him no rest day nor night! The President
said to me, II regretted that could not come
down and see you when you called, but from
eight in the morning till late in the evening,
l had not even an opportunity to eat" His
countenance begins to betray exhaustion, and
unless his constitution is iron and his nerves
steel, he will break down in the first three
months of his administration. My impress
sion is that he will 60 through. There is
something in him that says, 4 will do the best
can, and leave the result and a little phil.

SpIRIruALIsM.-The New York Herald in
a recent article upon spiritual manifestations,
thinks some good will come of the spiritual

"All history can be rectifed, and the

nesses, through all time. We shall then be
able to know directly to the point,
How much itcost TO build the pyramids,
What became of the Ark after the food,
The contents of the books of the Alexan-
dria library,
Who stole the lost books of Livy,
The travels of the ten lost tribes of Israel,

The doings of the dark ages,

The history of the Aztecs,

wlt is singular fact, that the last five
States which have elected members Of the
new Congress, or from which we have last
heard, have elected Democratic delegations
entire. They are California, New Hamp-
shire, South Carolina, Connecticut and Rhode
Island. The whole number of members thus
far elected to the 33d Congress, is 1853, of
whom los are Democrats, SO Wings, and 3
Abolitionists. The members yet to be elec-
ted are II. If they should be of the same

W The N. Y. Journal of Commerce
thus speaks of the Shoe and Leather busi-
ness of that city:
"The boot and shoe trade has nearly dou-
bled within five years. It may be said to
have been commenced in the year 1890, by
Spoford, Tileston g. Co., but their connec-
ton with it ceased twelve years ago; so that
up to short time since, the old firm Of D.
& A. Wesson, (now Wesson g. Coz was the
oldest in existence. At the date mentioned,
business of $4,000 or $4,000 was con-
sidered very large; but there are now in this
city at least four firms who do yearly busi-
ness of 100000 to 100000 each. The
trade is chiefly managed by nineteen differ
ent houses; and as accurately rs can be judg.
ed, the aggregate sales are nearly or quito
$6,O00,O0O per annum.

RABUN GAP RAILROAD.

The following Preamble and Resolutions
were passed by the public meeting Of the
citizens Of Charleston, on Monday evening
last
The meeting,it is said, was large one,
and generally attended by the capitalists and
property holders:
Whereas, the Blue Ridge Railroad will
open to Charleston shorter and more direct
route to the great and rapidly increasing
States of the North. West, lying on the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, than any that now ex.
lists or that can be constructed from these
States, to any part on the Atlantic seaboard,
and,
Whereas, the productions of these States,
great as they already are, will be almost
without any limit in the future, and,
Whereas, it has been established, by sur
vey and estimates, that the Blue Ridge Rail.
road can be constructed at less cost, and
with less grades than similar enterprises, in
all sections of the Union, the results Of which
havc given wealth and prosperity to the cities
on the seaboard where they have terminated;
and,
Whereas, the City Council, having sub.
scribed the sum of $5OO,0OO to the Blue
Ridge Railroad, lying in South Carolina, have
referred to the decision of the citizens the
questions of an additional subscription Of
$5OO,OOO to that portion of the road lying in
Georgia, the said subscription being. it is be.
lieved, essential to the success Of the whole
enterprise: and,
Whereas, tho citizens of Charleston are
willing to be taxed for the advancement of an
enterprise that promises such vast benefit tc
the city Therefore,
RESOLVED, That the City Council be re-
quested to subscribe the additional sum o
$5OO,0O0 to the Blue Ridge Railroad, lying
in Georgia, and that they will proceed forth
with to such union and organization OF the
two Companies under their respective char
ters, as will be best calculated to ensure tht
early commencement and ultimate completion
of the said roads. .
Resolved, That such additional subscription
by the City Council, shall not be made unit
they shall have satisfactory proof that suci
subscriptions have been made, or aid furnish
ed to other Railroad Companies i'd Nortl
Carolina, and Tennessee designed to tonnec
the said Blue Ridge Railroad, with the Geot
gia and East Tennessee Railroad rs shall Civ
reasonable assurance of the construction o
the said North Carolina and Tennessee Rail
roads.

SAN Francisco, March Is, 1853

-
Business is exceedingly dull. It is pro.
blenatical whether one quarter of the mcr.
chants in this city are now paying their ex-
penscs. The spring trade has not been by
any means what was anticipated. The mar
ket is glutted with almost every kind and
style Of goods. The only articles Of which
it is partially bare are lard, butter and pork,
but the shipments of these have been such
that at no very distant day they will not COM
mand cost and charges. Lard now commands
from 30 to 80 cents per pound, butter IS to
60 cents, and pork S45 to $50. Flour rules
firm from $l2 SO to 1913 SO. 1t was, about
twelve days since, down to SO. 1t will very
likely run up to $l5 or SIG. But the com
ing wheat crop will be very large, and W.
have numerous Touring mills, and large a
mount on hand and on the way from the At
lantic ports.

JEWISH NEGROES,

The Rev. DR.. Phillip, missionary in the
north of Africa, gives the following details
concerning that country. A Russian Jew,
resident of Meadah, gave him information con-
cerning great number of I.raelites inhabit-
ing the cases of Sahara, and dwelling also at
Bathhor, Bis.Wrabi, Tauggurt, Bousra, Bein
Uzab, Loquas, &c. There are in each Of
these places as many as hundred families,
and in some even more. In one place he
found six hundred families, with numerous
synagogues, and about one hundred copies Of
the Law, written upon parchment, some Of
which are more ancient than any he had ever
seen.
But this is not all; other curious details
reached Dr.. Phillip from another source. A
Jew, who had accorpas;ed German travcl|c,
as far as Timbuctoo, found near the bounda.
ry of Bambara large number Of Jewish ne.
groes. Nearly every family among them
possessed the law of Moses written upon
parchment. Although they speak of the
prophets they have not their writings. Their
prayers differ from those of other Jews, and
are committed to little leaves of parchment
stitched together, and contain numerous
passages derived from the Psalms.
These Jews have mingled some of the su.
perstitions of 'oral law (Which they have not
committed to writing0 with those of their
neighbors, tho Mahommedans and the heath.
en-. They enjoy equal liberty with the other
subjects of the African chiefs, and have their
synagogues and their rabbis. The explana'
ton which they give of themselves, in connec.
ton with their black skin, is this-that after
the destruction of Jerusalem at the time OF
the first captivity, some Of their ancestors
having neither goods nor lands, fed to the
desert. The fatigue which they endured was
so great, that nearly all the females died BY
the way. The children of Ham received
them with kindness, and by inter.marriage
with their daughters, who were black, com
municated their color to their children. These
children became, generation by generation, o.
deeper hue, until no difference Of color now
distinguished the children of Shem and those
of Ham. The form of their features, how
ever, is very different from that of the negroes
around them.
These are highly interesting facts, and ere
ate strong desire that these unexplorcd re
gions may be speedily opened to intercourse
with the civilized world. Access to these an
cient manuscripts, which arc probably olde
than any Others now extent, would be o.
great value, in correcting 4he received Hebrew
text, or in throwing light upon doubtful
passages.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Richmond Enquirer writes, among other
things, as follows:
"Mr Fillmore is now private man, but
the same digniied and courteous gentleman
that he was when occupying place and WELD
ing power. Few know the troubles, trials,
and difficulties which he has had to encounter
He has done so much better than we had
any right to expect we can afford to be not
only Just, but generous to him. l regret
that his visit to the Sunny South is about
to be denied him. / regret it because think
such visit, of such man, would have done
much towards softening the asperity ofparty,
and cause Us all, Wings and Democrats, TO
bear and forbsar towards each other, and
cause better state Of feeling througout the
country. But will not pursue this subject.
In paying my last resets to him, - gentle
man, said TO him Virginia would b pleas
