ANOTHER GREYTOWN EPICl
&C. S. of Brooklyn, sends US another epi
ommemoratory Of the recent resplendent achieY
nent at Greytown, by Capt. Hollins:
THE BURNING OF SAN JUAN
Good people all, both great and small,
Attend unto my dittyi
'Tis of the fate of San Juan!
That famous little city.
They gave an insult to our flag,
For which we bade them standl
And burnt out all the little folks
From out that little Land.
We sent brave Hollins out with speed
To cruise upon that stationl
Who burnt that little city up,
For our great Yankee Nation.
When Cuba, with defiant brow,
So boldly seized our ships,
We sidled down into our Boots,
But gave San Juan fits.
Let Pierce and Marcy wear the palm,
So well becomes their Stati0nl
Their great exploits win bear the test,
Of this great Yankee Nation.

ARE THERE ANY KNOW N0THINGs

This is question of searching import

neighbor of the Yazoo Democrat that the
attempt to establish the order here has all
.fzzIed out.

ImPohrANr Decision TO CoTToN FAoToRs.-
a highly important decision, in relation to the
liability Of cotton factors, was recently given in
one Of the Courts Of New Orleans. From the
evidence, it appears that the cotton IN question
was sold with many other.bales, BY sample, and
that the whole was shipped to Barcelona. It was
found, when being opened that two Of the bales
were falsely packed, the outside corresponding
with the sample and the inside consisting Of a
very inferior and different article. The factors
against whom the suit was brought, contended
that they, as agents, could not Be held liable for
the falas packing, and that as the planters mark
was on the bales, recourse must be had to the
principal and not to them The Court decided
that the defendants, as cotton merchants, selling
in one lot, which, perhaps, had been received from
many planters selling it in their own name, with,
out reference to any others as principals and sell
ing it by samples, thereby. warranting the whole
to be equal to the samples IN quality, were clearly
liable; that the charge that the bales were falsely
packed, in no manner affected, nor could it have
been intended to affect the character and standing
of defendants who were merely the merchants and
not the planters and that in the transaction the
defendants acted and were treated as principals
and not as agents. This decision was taken to
the Appellate Court and confirmed.
