ASECDoTE OF HENRY CLAY, FORTY YEARS AGO.
Shortly after the agitation of the famous compensa
ton bill in Congress, Mr.. Clay, who voted in favor of
this BILL upon returning home to his constituents,
found formidable opposition arrayed against his re-
election After addressing the people from the hst
ings previous to the opening Of the poll he stepped
down into the crowd where lie met old and inf1r-
entail friend OF his of the name of Scott, Of the
first settlers Of Kentucky, and of in his young
er days great huntsnlan. This gentleman stepping
up, addressed Mr.. Clay as follows:
Well, well, Harry, I've been with you in six tr0u
bles am sorry must now desert you in the sew
enth. You have voted for that miserable coInpensa
ton bill. ! must now turn my back upon you
Is it SO, friend Scott Is that the only objec-
TOM
alt isl
eve must get over it the best way we can. You
are an old huntsman?" -..
"1es,'' said Mr.. Scott. -.
You have killed many 4 fat bear and: buck, no
doubt p
yes"
al believe yon have very good rifle @
Yes, as good a one as ever cracked" ~
| well did you ever have q fine buck before you,
when your gun snapped "
1.-The like of that has happened,
Well now friend Scott, did you take that faithful
rifle and break it all to pieces the very next log
you came to, Or did you pick the flint and try it
again =
The tear started into the old mans eyes the chord
was touched +
No, Harry, picked the flint, and tried her again:
and III try you again. Give us your laud'
We need hardly say that the welkin rlng with the
huzzang plaudts Of the bystanders. Clay was borne
off TO the hustings and reelected.

CoND1T1oN OF THE ONO " RIvER"-The Cincin-
natl Price Current thus speaks of what is now
neously styled the Ohio riper:
The Ohio river is lower, We are told than at any
former period within the memory of that celebrated
individual the oldest inhabitant." 1t is so low and
insignificant that but for its antecedcns it would not
he called river It is fordable ut various points
above and below the city, aud dropes of cattle are
being driven across opposite Western Row. Steam,
boat navigation is wholly suspended and barges have
been introduced, by which freight is forwarded to
louisville and other down river points. The prospect
for supply of water is gloomy in the extreme. The
usual 'cquinoetal has passed, leaving only cloudy
sky and cold breezes to remind us of its occurrence
1t has not been attended with rain in this latitude
and the weather is settling apparently for another

Crops IN SOUTHEASTERN GEoRGIA.-The Sayan-
nah Georgian, of the 2sth ut, has the following in
regard to the crops in that region
The rice harvest is now pretty generally over, ex-
cept that Of the very late paintings. Upon the Sa-
vannah river the crop is said to be fair average one
with less complaint Of volunteer than last year. On
Ogeechee We understand that they have made an ex-
celent CROP ass 4
The rice crop, generally will by no means be large
one There are very extensive paintings in rice in
the inland swamps of Georgia and South Carolina,
most of which will not make the seed that was put
in the ground. Also many Of the short rivers, as
all of them were salt up to their sources.
Sea Island cotton in this region is not very pronis
ing the planters complain greatly of its taking the
rust which will cut off the yield very considerably
It is not opening well this year We understand that
the caterpillar has been ravagng the Sea Island crops
Of Florida, in localities where they had been a short
time since very fine.

The Creole Belle,

Shes lovely and witching and sweet sixteen,
And moves in the dance like fairy queen ::
Nor language nor pencil her charms can fell.
For matchless girl is the Creole Belle.
And the bow-boy god in sweet disguise.
From the long dark fringe of her starry eyes.
Shoots love-tipped arrows, and aims them we'll
By the glance Of the dark-eyed Creole Belle.
And blushes are playing in sportive grace,
With the rosy smiles on her sweet young face
For timid and wild as the wild gazelle,
Is the peerless and beautiful Creole Belle.
And her lute-like voice more enchanting seems
Than the low, sweet music we hear in dreams
Claiming the heart with whitening spell,
AS an offering meet to the Creole Belle.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTs.-The Tampa (Fa.)
Peninsular relates the following of citizen of that
town: -s .. .n.s.....5r-,. ..- f.
Col winchester of this place, who was a passenger
on the steamer Florida when wrecked, arrived home
few days since.
Col W. also passenger on the schooner
Roales of this place, when she cast away in the
gale which swept Last Island-three of her crew
were lost Col. W. returned to New Orleans, made
fresh start on the Florida, and was again overtaken
The Colonel again embarked in sloop at Apalachi-
cola for Tampa. When the soop anchored in the
channel a short distance from wharf the Colonel
being somewhat anxious to get ashore, started in the
yawl which capsized, and he barely escaped drown
ing by swimming ashore. Truly this is a chapter of
adventures for trip from New Orleans to Tampa.

An unfortunate tourist lately met with deplorable
accident on Geucatcham, Scotland. He was foolish
enough to write few lines in young lady's album,
wherein, ignorantly Or imprudently he described
himself as her own" He was instantly claimed by
the " bonny wee thing" as her husband, and found,
when it too late, that he had got himself married
to her,

RISE IN RED RIVER. - THE First Bout ouer the
FaHs.-We learn from the Red River American, of
the 9th ult, that although the Old Red has risen
sufficiently to permit navigation between Alexandria
and the mouth for small boats yet at the latter point
it is almost impossible for boat to pass in conse
quence of the bar, which turns large body of the
water into the Atchatalaya.
The American says that the falls above that place
present much the same appearance as they have all
summer, and that it had hitherto thought it imposs
bic for steamboat of any kind either to ascend
decend them in safety. But the adventurous little
steamer De De, Capt Lewis, came down the right
hand channel on Thursday, the 25th ul in fine style
suffering no sort of injury. This was considered
pretty bold feat.

INJURY TO THE CROPS BY THE FRosT.-The Selma
(Ala) Reporter, of the 26th, says:
The two heavy frosts of the mornings of the oath
and 25th inst, have done much injury in all the low
grounds. We have conversed with some dozen or
planters, and all but one had suffered from it.
All the growing and half formed bos are done for,
so that now may safely calculate that where the
severe drouth had not reduced the crop more than
onethird some plantations, this frost will nov GER
tanly reduce it to onehalf, Some planters are now
SO dsheartened that they say they will not make
one-thrd their usual crop. But trust they will
do better than that. The pea crop is sadly injured
on many plantations. We notice the frost was heavy
