A YANKEE TRlcN IN THE BAIT CA

A YANKEE TRICK IN THE DALT CA
letter from an officer Of The fleet, dated 1Stb,
tells the following rather good story:
'One morning, few days since, we saw
large vessel eigh. or ten miles ahead.
which we fully believed 10 de Russian
man of-war, as she made all sail to get
away, and showed no colors. As we
rapidly came up with her, she took in sail
until she was under reefed iopsails-fght-
ing trim so we beat TO quarters. and the
pipe sounded, "Hands, bring the ship into
&C ion y For some three minutes every
thing was bus'le-casting the guns loose,
clearing the decks, &c. Five minutes
more, and every gun was shotted and
primed, and the men standing with the
match.lines in their hands, waiting for the
word to fire. Just as we got within good
distance the blackguard ran up American
colors, and cooIly told us he WI uld have
hois,ed them sooner bu' he wanted to see
how smarlly we would clear for action.
IF our rars did nor bless him to the wrong
side of heaven, never believe me-"

GFDEsECRATIoN OF THE SABBATH
The Louisville Democrat has lost some
nine or len subscribers, because the edi>
tor condemned the Sabbath revels of a
portion of The German population of that
city. A reform, the editor thinks, is
needed in the manner of conducting GER
tain gardens of public resort, and he ex>
pressed as much on The subject. TO pun>
ish his contumacy, certain men who sign
themselves "Liberty, Equality and Fra,
ternity," discontinued the Democrat, and
make terrible threats againslhis subscrip-
tion list should he continue in his course.
Two of their communications are publish
ed, in one of which we find this: "Ev-
cry man is free and can do what he pleas
es, if he don't murder and steal" Ihs,
our red republican friends will find, is a
serious blunder Men who regard the
Christian Sabbath, as sacred day of rest,
have rights which cannot be trampled
upon, in this country at least. There is
great difference between the largest liber'
ty and anarchy. 1t is gratifying howev-
er, to know Tint this demonstration is
made by faction-a very s1all faction
who represent but "a fraction of the Ger
man population Of Louisville.

FRrslpESr Prrnor.-Wc had given but
little credit TO the allegation that, pending
The Van Buren, and Cass descriptions in this
State, pretending TO lie founded on the prin.
cipie of resistance to slavery, Gen. Pierce
corrcsponded, and ohimed in with the Van
Buren Free Sellers, until we read letter
from JOHN Coclrane, Esq, The Surveyor of
the port, denying The charges. The denial,
however, admits that Gen. Pierce did write
letter 10 the Van Buren Corainittee here,
upon the occasion Of their having public
meeting, but says, Gen. Pierce only wrote
kind words, and was rather discouraging
upon principles. The letter, Mr.. Cochrane
says, is mis!aid ard cannot be found.
1t seems, then, that Gen. Pierce did write
letter TO the Van Buren, gentlemen hero
that he has since presented most Of them 10
high Offices and it would appear from his
disposition 10 bring Hon. john a. Dix, lie
Van Burcn leader, into the Cabinet that
there must have been much more in that let.

HrMr SHIpMENrs.--The Platte Argus
says l49!9 bales of Hemp were shipped
from that place last season, and about $4,000
s,cks -four.
The Lexington Express gives the follow
ing statement Of shipments from that place
Messrs. Andersen s. Gratz have shipped
during the year, Is $40 coils OF rope. These
gentlemen are the largest manufacturers i'll
the city. Ofiast years manufacture, they
now haze on hand 800 coils OF rope making
the total manufacture cor the year, $4,000
coils. These coils average lis pounds
The insurance value Of this rope Is 1920, 600
which is OF course much below its selling
price.
The hemp manufactured at this establish
mcnt during The year was between 800 and
900 tons.
During the same year, Messrs. McGrews
manufactured into rope 656 tons of hemp,
which produced 10 $3.50 coils Of rope, weigh
ing abou. l27 pounds per coil.
Messrs. Moore s. Naddell, during the
same period, manufactured 5000 coils Of
rope, which required SEQ tons OF hemp
Thus, it will be seen, that these three firms
have, within twelve months prior to the last
day of December, manufactured 80, 1867 coils
ofrope, land spun mp about THREE THOU
SAND TONS or HEMP.
Messrs. Moore & Waddle have on hand
of last years manufacture about 500 coils Of
rope. We are not informed as TO the guam
tity of rope on hand by Messrs. McGrews,
but suppose it to be small, as we are inform
ed that by the opening of navigation, they
will have in readiness for shipment about
1900 coils Of rope, and fifty tons of hacked
hemp.
Messrs. McGrews, who have during the
pork season, which has just closed, had the

February 9; 1851 :
Observation-Disclosures has beer quite brisk in all
departments during the past week, and business
men are looking forward TO an early opening CT
navigation, ard consequent permanent resumption
Of business. The late opening Of the Hemp and
Tobacco markets, have rendered collections rather
slow. The high prices of stock and produce,
however, and the abundance in the hands of pro-
duccrs. which is now changing hands, has kept
the money market comparatively easy.
Our stocks Of Groceries and Dry Goods are
ample For the season, and most Of our merchants
have left FOR the East and South, 10 lay in tneir
Spring Stocks.
There has been much activity in the produce
market, for the past ten days. The Foreign news
he's had favorable tendency on bTcadstufs;-
wheat has materially advanced, and is in demand
at our quotations. There has also been a ceres
ponding advance in Flour. Hemp has also ad-
vanced since our last, but is languid at prcsoni;-
buyers are not willing 10 make further purchases
al quotations, and holders esk about these figures.
The Tobacco market has been quite animated,
and a considerable portion Of the crop has chang
ed hands. Our quotations embrace the outside
figures, there is good deal held above these fig
ures, which will probably moi change hands for
some tine-holders refusing to sell, and buyer:
holding off, having sufficient for present purposes.

Many voors Of tlal instead o. impairirT the

the most sanguinc expectation OF its friends. No
thing but its intrinsic virtues, and the unmistakea-
bic benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers,
could originate and maintain the reputation it en-
joys. While many Inferior remedies thrust upon
the community, have failed and been discarded,
this has gained friends by every trial, conferred
benefits on the afflicted which they can never for
get, and produced cures too numerous ard too re-
marlIable 10 be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the public to pretend that
any one medicine will infallibly cure-stil there
is abundant proof that the Cherry PEcroRAL
does not only as a general thing, but almost inva-
rlably cure the maladies for which it is employed
As time manes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance of the afflicted, from the os-cabin CT
the American peasant, to the palaces of European
Kings. Throughout this entire country, in every
State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it
tans, CHERRY PEcToRAL is known as the best
remedy extart for diseases Of the Throat and
Lungs, and in many foreign countries it is coming
to be most extensively used by their most intelil-
gent physicians. In Great Britain, France and
Germany, where the medical sciences have reach
ed their highest perfection, CHERRY PICTORIAL is
introduced, and in constant in the armies, Hos
pitfalls, Aims Houses, Public Institutions, and In
domestic practice, as the surcst remedy their at

and worth as should commend itself TO their con-
fidence--a remedy at safe, speedy and effect

ais proved itself 10 bs and trust by great care in

The intelligence from Georgia orthe cleo
ton Of Mr.. Iverson to the Senate of the U.
S. was unexpected, and disappoin's the
friends Of McCalster, Mcdonald, Cobb, and
others who were named for the station. To
Ex-Governor Mcdonald himself, it is CRU
cl disappointment. This gentleman figured
largely at the Nashville Convention as an
extreme Southern rights member, and he
was the nominee Of the Legislative caucus
for the place in the Senate which will be-
come vacant on the 4th of March next by
the expiration the term Of the estimab!e
ard amiable General Dawson. The Legis-
lature it seems, refused to confirm the eau
Gus nomination, and the Senatorial prize has
been drawn by Mr.. Ivcrson. The success
full candidate, was, some years since, mem
Der Of the House Of Representatives. and he
is the son-in-law Of the late Hon. John For
syth. During the slavery agitation, and the
discussion Of the compromise measures OF
80, Mr.. Iverson was distinguished in Geor
GA as jealous opponent Of those measures,
and it would not have offended him to call
him sire eater" have no doubt, how
ever; he ''acquiesced" inthe platform of prin-
cipes enunciated at Baltimore, and all pa
triots must hope that in the new and impor-
tant position to which he has been elevated,
he will act for the honor Of lis State and the
welfare Of the Union.
