MEAN WHITE MEN.-The Norfolk cores
pondent ofthe Richmond (Va.) Despatch, thus
writes:
The Howard Association is constantly re-
ceiving letters from absentees abroad request
ing the officers to look after their servants, (the
lazy blacks whom they left behind) and see
that they do not suffer for want of provisions,
medical attendance, &c, but not a dime do
any OF these absentees-many of them rich in
the worlds goods-send, as a contribution to
our afflicted and destitute poor and not even to
pay for the aid they expect from the Associa-
ton for their own negroes, whom they left at
home, on ''the commeAs," totally unproyided
for, to root, pig, or die" One ofthese whole
souled," liberal gents writes that, as the con-
tributions to the Howard Association are made
for the benefit of the people of Norfolk, he
trusts his servant wilt be allowed as much
bacon, &c, as will comfortably support her
during his absence!!-And this man is veal
thy, and yet has not contributed one cent to-
wards the relief of the destitute widows, or
phans, and sicko hisnative city! The How
ard Associations intend to make public ex
pose of all these letters with the writer SIS name
in full attached to them after the scourge will
have passed away from the city, when some
highly unique and very interesting deveIope=
ments may be anticipated.

PRosPECTs OF THE AMERICAN PARTY.-The
New Orleans Crescent in an article on the
prospects of the American party uses the fol-
lowing emphatic and cheering language:
After careful survey of the whole field OF
battle, from the Mississippi on the east, to the
Texas boundary on the west, and from the
Gulf to the Arkansas line, we have come to the
conclusion that the prospects Of. the American
Order are of'the brightest imaginable charac-
ter that every indication is cheering; and that
all signs betoken magnificent triumph in No
yember. The more we reflect over this matter
the stronger become our convictions. The
oftener we look at the data in our possession
gathered from the best Of sources and from all
quarters the surer are we that our calculations
are, well founded. Were the election to come
off on Monday next, Weare- well convinced
that the American party would carry the State
by a majority of thousands.

o. We have better use for our columns
than to devote any more of their space to Mr.
Gayitt. There is nothing we have said of
him in connection with the Know Nothings,
but what we have the profit Su6stantiate right
at hand. In question of veracity on any
subject between him and the editor of this pa
per, If our word cannot go further than his
with this community, than we must occupy
position SO low as, to make any assertions on
our part harmless. Gavitt's organ saws we
dare not deny that we personally told Gayitt
that the only objection we had against him, was
that he had withdrawn his patronage from US
We dare deny this so far as to state that it is
an absurd talsehood, whether Gavitt or his
plmp be the author of it.

FRANK LEsLIE's GAZETTE OF FAsHIoN.-We
have received the October number of Crank
Leslie's Ladies' Gazette of Fashion and the
Beau Monde There is noticeable improve
ment in the style and contents of each num-
of this magazine over the preceding number
and it now constitutes a really interesting, and
to the ladies at least most useful periodical.
We remark one new feature in it particularly
which strikes US very admirable one. 1t
is that the leading article is devoted to a de-
scription of the fashions as they are found in
New York not as they were one, three or six
months ago in London or Paris 1t is enti-
tied "Our monthly Review of Fashions and the
Industrial Arts p and five may judge by this
first article, subject is one which, if continued
to be elucidated so well, will be of the most
immed ate interest to ladies, in and out Of the
city, who desire the best and most ineligible
information on the prevailing fashion. In the
way ofprints, the Gazette makes very credi-
table appearance, and its selections of reading
matter are very apropos.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY GENTLEMAN
The Dry Goods Store of Mr. Ducatel, on Row
al street, was entered at an early hour on Fri
day morning by means of false KEYS and rob-
bed of about $500 of fancy goods-such as
silks, laces, etc. Mr.. Ducatel suspected a GER
tain person, and, taking police officer to that
PERSONS house, found him in the act ofassort-
ing and appraising the stolen goods He was
then escorted to the police office; he turned
out to be a gentleman; friends flocked to the
rescue; the goods were restored Mr.. Ducatel
declined prosecuting; the young gentleman
was restored to liberty, and sent off I'D the
river; and those of the police who were cog
INFANT of the affair, have all forgotten or did
not know the young gentlemans name, for we
yesterday made our inquiries, from the Re-
corder down, without being able to obtain it..
The nearest Information we could obtain as
to who the gentleman is, was from street
rumor, that he is the son, nephew, or some
thing else, of an Ex-Governor of the State
The matter has been splerdidly hushed I'D.

OF Here'is. another specimen of the de,
cency OF the Anti-American press. Some
blackguard is allowed to publish the reflections
of his defiled heart, in the Louisville Times
in the form of verses addressed to Gey: D

as illustrative of the whole:
Great unseduced, unterrifed, unhuno.

STRANGE SUICIDE.-Miss Clara Haskins, a
young lady residing few miles from Natchez,
Miss, on the eve of her marriage-some two
hours before the time for the performance of
the ceremony-was found dead in her cham
Der, on the 25th inst. After being dressed by
her bridesmaids, she requested them to retire
for a short time, and when they returned, they
found her lying lifeless upon her couch, with
an empty vial of prussic acid still clasped in
her hand. The tragedy created great excite
ment in the vicinity of its occurrence, and it
is believed that she sought death by her own
hand, rather than wed the man her parents
had determined she should espouse. She pos
sessed a highly cultivated mind and many
loveable qualities, the consciousness of which
renders her fate doubly mournful to her sor-
rowing friends.
