Rot CORN.

"Here's your nice Hot Corn, smoking
hot, smoking hot, just from the pot" Hour
after hour last evening as we sat over the
desk, this cry came up in soft plaintive
voice under our window, which told US OF
one of the ways Of the poor to exc out
means OF subsistence iB this over-burdened,
ill-fed and worye-lcdged home Of misery
TOR so many without means, who are con-
stantly crowding into the dirtiest purIieus
of this VIGOROUSLY dirty city, where they
are exposed TO the daily chance of death
from some sudden outbreaking epidemic
like that now desoating the same kind Of
streets in New Orleans, and swallowing up
its thousands of victims from the same class
Of poverty-stricken, uncomfortably-p rovid-
editor human beings, who know not how, or
have not the power, to flee 10 the healthy
hills and green fields of the country. Here
they live-barely live-in holes almost as
hot as the hot corn, the cry of which rsng
in onr ears from dark till midnight.
Hot corn! hot corn here's your nice
hot corn" rose up in faint, child-like
voice, which seemed to have been aroused
by the sound of our step as we were ab OUT
entering the Park, while the City clock
told the hOnr when ghosts 60 forth upon
their midnight rambles. We started as
though spirit had given us a rap, for the
sound seemed to come out of one of the
iron posts which stand as sentinels over
the main entrance, forbidding all vehicles
10 enter, unless the driver takes the trouble
to pull up and tumble out of the way, one
Of the aforesaid posts, which is not often

cellent anecdotes are told of BIN in the Eastern
papers. His power Of changing his features is
such that you might pass him on the street and
meet him five minutes afterwards under the full
impression that you had never seen the man
before. The Utica Daily Gazette says;
Certainly he is six or seven gentlemen rolled
up into one It is well for the community that
he is an honest, respectable man, for if he
should take it into his head to play the rogue, he
would confound the keenest police officer by
the magic celebrity Of his transformations.

VIM Claude Jonss's Route to the Pacific

Below will be found letter from Wm.
Claude Jones, Esq. In view Of it, we cannot
but repeat what we said on the 10Th, that, if this
gentleman is not mistaken, he has done more 10
point out railroad route TO the Pacific, than any
other person who has ever presumed TO be pub
lie guide in this matter. We repeat too tina. a
unless the members Of our Government at
Washington have good reason to believe that
Mr.. Jones is quite unworthy Of confidence, it
is duty they owe the nation 10 take all the
means in their power TO verify his sentiments
We givelMr. Jones'S letter without further re-
marks
INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Aug, 20, 1853.
To the Editor Of the 81. Louis Lntelhgencer:
SIR: In your paper of August 18th is an
article headed, NV. Claude Jones' route to the
Pacific" in which is quoted portion Of my St.
Joseph letter.
My object in writing that letter was TO draw
public attention TO the nearest and best route for
the great Central Railroad to the Pacific. Ihad
no personal motives-sought no ofice-and did
not covet newspaper notoriety.
In the latter part of May last, sought Col.
ALBERT, Chief Of U. s. Typographical Engineers,
also the Hon. ]. DA Wis, Secretary Of War, in
Washington City, and communicated the infor-
nation contained in my letter to them. / did
this under the hope that the instructions Of the
proper Department to the different corps of Sur
veyors might cover the route indicated. In
this was too late. The instructions had al
ready been issued, and the several corps had
left Washington for the different theaters OF
duty assigned them. did not like TO accompa-
ny any expedition, as my private and personal
engagements were of such q nature as 10 forbid
it: but deemed that could gire such intormG-
t,on as trould lead 10 the exploration ofhe route.
Whether the the matter was ever noted by Col.
ALERT or the Secretary of War, do not know.
But do know that the contemplated route is
not embraced within the scope of the original
instructions. This was declined, bat | was per-
mited TO read them from the records OF the office
of the Secretary of War. | was but an humble
individual, and had no members of the Congress
ionai Oligdrcy TO introduce me 10 official favor,
and my representations may have been wholly
UNDECIDED.
In my ST. Joseph letter | state the fact
of the route and delneate it with sufficient accu-
racy Tor any person 10 pursue; and as Iwish 10
avoid all controversy through the press, / will
make the following declaration 10 vindicate the
truth and practicability Of the route:
Although at personal sacrifice / icM accom-
lpdny any competent and authorized exploring par
ty on The route indicated, and wiH pledge all that
a man holds dear and sacred, as 10 IFS pracfiea-
6aRy.
Yours Respectfully, w. CLAUDE JOSEs.

PUBLISH THE RASCAL !

A young man named JAMES A. SnARMAx,
who succeeded TO some extent in imposing him
self on this community as a respectable bache-
lor, stole some articles Of considerable value
few days since, and eloped. He is five feet s
or 10 inches high, thiek-set, with pale face,
grey eyes, and a gassy tongue. The following
letter addressed TO one of the editors of the
Courier, shows the opinion entertained of him
by those who should know him best:
HAMILTON, GA, July Z, 1853.
Mn. J. T. HiNroN:
DBAR SIR:-From all accounts, l learn there
is man in your town, by the name of James
A. Sharman, who is known to be q notorious
rascal. And would advise the citizens Of
Hannibal to beware Of such man; for he has
fled from this State, some two or three times,
for stealing and Forgery, and was put in jail in
Mobile, Ala, once; Louisville, KY, once, and
got away, suppose, and fled to Missouri and
left a wife and child. l do not suppose as
grand rascal ever left the State Of Georgia.
Yours, Respectfully,
ID. SEATS.
The reason why do this is, he left my sister
"of which he married." and child and went at
such business as that. Yours, DIS.
Mn. HINToN - If this man has done any.
thing in the town of Hannibal TO be punished
for, hope the law will punish him for it. dc
not suppose it would be at all amiss to let such
be known TO the people. He has been sending
your papers here, so learn, and thought pro-
baby he Sht be in business with you.
Yours, Truly,
Lucy SHARMAN.
