CRAcK-LEw.-In the testimony in the recent
trial for mail robbery, il was stated that some Of
the parties were one day engaged in q game of
"crack lew" This to many, ourselves among
others, was new game, and inquiry was made as
10 what sort of game it was and how It was
played After diligent investigation into the mat
ter, we learn that the game consists of tho throw
ing up pieces Of money high enongh TO touch the
ceiling and allowing them TO fall on the floor. The
parties engaged each throw up their pieces, and
that whose piece lies nearest or most complete
ly over the crack or scam in the floor; takes
the pool: e., all the money that lies on the floor.
This is crack.lew. II Is very popular in Hanover;
may have been played, by Henry Clay in bis un-
breeched mill-boy days ! and has one merit not
possessed by all games OF the day, and that is
that it is perfectly fair II win possibly become
more popular through this trial h1WNs

NIcARAuGA.-The news from Nicarauga is
important. Walker has been successful in q
series Of battles with the combined Central
Americans.
On the 10th of November, Gen. Homsby
with 200 men, defeated 100 of the enemy
under the Costa Rican General, Canas. The
enemy lost 200; Homsby's loss was 2 killed
and ii wounded.
-Four days fighting at Massaya ended in
the entire defeat o! the enemy. Walker re,
turned to Grenada, giving the citizens three
days notice of his intention, to allow them
time to remove their valuables, after which
he fred Grenada, not leaving vestigc of the
place. He then removed all his effects, men,
and the inhabitants to Rivas, which is to be
hereafter the capital of Nicaragua.
A naval battle was fought between the
Nicaraguan schooner Grenada, Capt Faysoux,
and Costan Rican brig of war three times
her size. The Costa Rican vessel was blown
up, and all on board killed. 1t is supposed
the enemy's loss is about 5000. Various
battles have been fought since October.

TnE VIRGINIA DENooRAcY.-There ia A very

in their Electoral capacity recommended ex.
Governor Floyd for Cabinet appointment.
This novel proceeding has given offence to
the friends Of Mr. Bocock, another a,pi, ant
for Cabinet appointment-and the conse.
quencei' very interesting, and most people
will think quite unnecessary quarrel-as il
is not likely that MIR. Buchanan will call
either Of the gentlemen spoken Of to his as

A WILD CAT BANKER IL LIMBo.-The
Evansville Qndiana) Journal says: sour
readers will reeollect something of the Little
Rock (Arkansas) State Manufacturing Com.
pany, which assumed banking powers and
issued notes for circulation, and which failed
few months ago, swindlng stockholders
and others Of large amount. The chief
operator in this fraud was tried at Memphis
last week, and although there was no stat.
utory provisions defining the crime and fix.
ing the punishment technically, the jury
found the prisoner guilty and the Court sen.
fenced him to four years labor in the peniten-
tiary. This verdict will be n warning to
snch financiers in future"
The Augusta Chronicle in publishing the
above paragraph, remarks: awe are glad to
see an example made Of one of these gentry
that there is ut least one community in
which Justice is melted out to them. It au.
ours well for the country where such men
can be transferred to the penitentiary. Here.
tofore they have practiced their frauds with
such perfect impunity, that they seem to re-
gard Bank charters mere license to practice
any fraud they please; and he that was the
most successful was regarded the best finan.
cier We hope this excellent example will
be followed in other counties.

How Towns SPRING UP IN THE WEsT.-
Two years ago where the trees stood undis.
turbed in their everlasting solitude at the
head of Lake Superior, there is now town
called the "City of SUPERIOR" containing
1900 inhabitants Two years ago, the land
there was held by squatters at 81 25 per
acre. No,o, the site Of Superior, rs laid of
into lots, sells at prices that indicate val.
ne Of over $4,000, 900 for the whole? Las,
summer, squatters claims were made in
sight Of Superior. Now, no vacant land
can be found in ten miles of Superior, and
lands in the vicinity of Superior command
$50 to 100 per acre, and will ere long bring
$500 to $1,000 per acre. II is one hundred
and twenty miles further West than ST.

HARD MONEY HUMBuG ExPLoDEp.-Mr.
Secretary Guthrie says in his message "that
pure metallic currency may be set down as
impracticaJle under our Constitution and
laws, to say nothing of the sentiment Of the
people,
Thus ends the hard money humbug,
which for several years constituted the prn.
cipal political commodity of the Democratic
party. Among the distinguished advocates
of this absurdity, was Thos. Hart Benton,
who, at time when California gold mines
were yet undiscovered, talked of "gold run.
ming up the Mississippi" When the banks
were not half as numerous rs they are now,
the hard money demagogues were for cutting
them of. Laws were passed, even within a
half dozen years, to restrain the banks from
the issue of small notes! and the people
from passing them. Practically these laws
are of no more effect than blank paper
They can never be of any effect The people
must and will use the most Convenient curren-
cy whether that be brass buttons or paper
dollars. If the government establish a
means of tonnage and prescribe legal ten.

W While there is, beyond doubt, some
grounds for tho excitement prevailing in por.
tons Of the State in regard to instructions.
ry designs among the negro population, We
would caution our readers against the gross.
" exaggerated accounts in circulation, rs re-
CARDS the extent of tho movement and the
number implicated who have been executed.
The truth will establish that the rcbellious
spirit was confined TO but comparatively few
localities, and that it has been checked and
suppressed BY the prompt and rigid measures
which Immediately followed thc discovery of
the contemplated rising. The papers gener.
ally attribute the spirit Of disafftction aud in.
subordinatior said TO exist among the slave

the continual agitation Of the sulject Of sla-
very and the peculiar character of tho discus.
sions Of the late Presidential canvass. This
,,no doubt, to some cxtsat true; but there are
other and more miscellaneous causcs-among
which is the facility with which they obtain
whiskey and the too frequent disposition of
the slave owner to shield the offender from
punishment for trespasses committed beyond
his own premises, and to care but little where
or how the slave spends his nights SO he is
on hand for work in the morning. Every
stakeholder ought to be able to patrol his
own promises, where police regulations are
imprac.icable. A firm, rigid and consistent
rule on the part Of the owner will generally
prevent the evil complained of and render
the slave contented and happy. The Christ.

The COMMERCIAL CoYvENTIos.-Thef fol-
lowing description of one of the incidents of
the Southern Commercial Convention, lately
in session at Savannah, Ga, is copied from a
Southern paper
"The Grand Ball of the Convention came
of last evening at the great Depot of the
Central Railroad, and most magnificent af-
fair it was. The visitor descended into n
room BY flight of steps. Before him was
twenty thousand square feet of room filled
with dancers and persons promenading. Half
way along one side was a stand with full
brass band of music; on the other side was
man with speaking trumpet, standing on
pedestal, calling out the figures, At the far
end was table loaded with wine and provi.
sions, which any one could partake of when
they had mind for it. Overhead were about
four hundred gas lights. Upon the floor
were about one hundred circles for cotilons,
and about thousand people-the most of
them were dressed within an inch of their
lives. And away up above the gas lights
and all, among the beams and rafters of the
building, was m outrageous canopy of flags
and streamers, and altogether it was one Of
the greatest affairs of the kind ever had in the
Southern country"

an INTERESTING QuARREL.-We find the
following in the Chicago Tribune of the 10Th
ult:
A few DAYS ago, one of the Buchanan cleo
tors of the "Democratic" State of Kentucky
honored our city with a visit. While here,
he naturally fell in conversation with others
of his supposed way of thinking upon mat
tiers political, but soon discovered that be-
tween himself and the democracy" of the
North there was radical and apparently n
irreconcilable difference. He looked npon
the recent triumph as an earnest that Kan
sas would be slave State; while his North
ern friends whom he honored with his opin-
ion were quite as sure that buchanan and
Free Kansas" were the real watch words
and rallyng cries Of the party, now as well
as before the election, and that in securing
the President they have guaranty that the
outrages in the Territory would cease, and
that the efforts of the powers elect would be
directed to the enforcement of the doctrines
of the Squatter Sovereignty dodge. The
dispute grew higher and louder, until the
Intervention of mutual friends become nee
essary TO prevent resort to blows.

V At the conclusion of Mr.. Crittenden's
euogy upon the late Mr.. Clayton, of Della
ware, delivered in the Senate, on the Bird in
slant, is the following remark
at must be pleasing to us all to learn from
the honorable Senator from Delaware, (Mr.
Bayard) that Mr.. Clayton died Christian.
So he should have died. Such death gives
TO humanity its proper dignity. Full Of this
worlds honor, he died full of the more pre-
cious hopes that lie beyond the grave. OF
him who so dies We may well exclaim, o
death! where is thy sting? o grave! where is
thy victory?"
