HUMAN HoRN.-Dr. Porcher, of Charleston, has
IN his possession horn about seven inches in length
and in diameter two inches and three Quarters bear
ing close resemblance to rams horn, which he ey
traeted from the head of negress, aged about fty-
tWo born on plantation in St. John Berkley, South
Carolina. The tumor commenced forming some eight
years since, with swelling and discharge and after
WHILE gradual increase in size. During the four
months preceding its removal grew some two inches
and having, in curving around, reached the face in
the temporal region, just to the left of one eve and
having commenced to produce suppuration of the
skin wthwhch it had come in contact, its immediate
removal was necessitated. Its removal, which was
done in December, 1854. in the presence Of DR.. J.
Cam and several students of the Charleston Prepar-
atory Medical School, was accompanied with compar,
atiyely little pain. 1t was found, upon examination
afterwards, that some remains of the original growth
remained, and there is some probability that it NAV
increase in size and again require removal

POETIC Al.

We do not know when, in these modern and de-
generate days. our mind has ever been SO forcibly car
ried backward to the " pure well of English un
defiled :" to the magnificent and sonorous diction
Of Ossian to the grand runes of Scandinavia and
the wild 0rkneyan resonances Of soul, as by the
touching verse-the exquisite genl-the unfinished
epic of aEyoung poet whose thrilling words We
append. Something Of Olympus yet breathes, anG
the spiritus intus demands utterance. But com
ment is unnecessary. The lines, or rather, verses
of the poem, are, solid enough to support any
amount of praise that may be elected Poetasnas-
cit,u'-the true bard can't be made.
What an outgushing Of melody! T-@rt

BUSINESS. = Yesterdays operations were rather
much mpeded by showers of rain. A fair amount of
business IS still in progress the evee, particularly
at the upper landing. The boats arriving from the
West bring full cargoes and those departing are car
rylng away goodly number of transient residents
which causes considerable activity. AT the lower
landing there is marked falling off, though the levee
appears to be well stocked with sugar and moasses
which articles meet with ready sale and at the best
OF prices. 1t is not quite SO pleasant place for
promenade, among those hogsheads of sugar and bar
rels of molasses after shower Of ran as pedestrian
desires to see. ...
We think it was rather unfortunate the city could
not have purchased the Pontchartrain Railroad for
sugar depot as theres plenty Of room to remove the
depot one or two squares further back from the river
Then, again, there might have been objections raised
about the landing of steamboats, at that point How
ever suppose the sugar interests in the hands
of the committee appointed at the convention held in
this city,
There is considerable activity in the discharging
and loading of vessels, although produce is almost
being carried for nothing Ship masters that are
loading appear to be anxious Of getting away as
speedily as possible. The cotton presses and ware
houses are fast being cleared of their contents but
heavy Western produce including tobacco is arriving
in large quantities, and the present low reights will
bring enormous quantities to our city, there being
immediate prospect of change in the generafreight-
ing business, for the present at least. 4J&
The general city trade begins to show the usual de-
cline at this season. though the results of this seasons
business are much more favorable than last year,
that all comparisons are lost There has been more
merchandise sold this in New Orleans than was
ever sold in any year before. Real estate begins
to feel the effects in some locations. Though rents for
some kinds ofproperty very low, perhaps rather
too low for the valuation of property yet low rents
will encourage more permanent residents than high
rents Encourage manufactures of every article ne
cessary for our consumption, and we will soon have a
great city, increasing and enhancing in prosperity
trade and commerce. Think more of New Orleans
and Louisiana, less Of Northern cities or Europe
and We shall do well enough.

AFFAIRS WITH SpAIN.--The Last steamer brought
dispatches addressed by the Spanish Minister of For
eIgn Relations to our Minister at Madrid in reply to
the demands made at different times for redress in the
matter OF firing into and detaning the steamer Ell
Dorado, by the Spanish man -of.war Feuolano.
The Spanish Government most decidedly but cour-
teousy, refuses to comply with the wishes of our
Government, and the Minister argues that according
to the law of nations the Commander of the Ferro.
lano did nothing more than the peculiar cireum-
stances at that time in the neighborhood of Havana
justified.

Hon. JAMES BUcHANAN.--A paper published at
Glasgow, Kentucky, has the following paragraph in

Hon. JAMES BUcHASAN.-A paper published at
Glasgow, Kentucky, has the following paragraph in
reference to the Hon. James Buchanan:
We are indebted to. the reading Of one of the
speeches OF the late Ben Hardin, made in the con-
vention to revise the constitution of Kentucky for
part Of the history Of Mr.. Buchanan. Hardin says
tnat Buchanan commenced the practice Of the law in
Eizabethtown, in Hardin county, in this State. He
soon became dissatisfied and returned to Pennsyva-
MA. len Or fifteen years afterwards, Hardin met
him in Congress, and Buchanan said the reason he
left Kentucky was this-that when he went to Ken
tucky he expected to bea great there, but every
lawyer he met was his equal. and more than half
them his saperiors, and he gave it up. Mr. Hardin
says at the time Mr. Buchanan resided in Kentucky,
he discovered him to be man Of fine education and
respectable talents. II # Nj - u
We remember a conversation we had with Ben.
Hardin in this city years since, says the editor
OF the Eicksburg Wing, in which he stated to US the
substance of the foregoing paragraph and added that
the success of Afr. Buchanan as statesman was in
striking contrast with his failure as lawyer. Hardns
language was, that old Buck had 'starved out at the
barand Wes compelled to return to his ancestral
home. 5 ia
