A s1OO. 600 BANTER no ENGLAND.

Certain wealthy parties at Savannah have author
lied the Georgian to make the following challenge,
which is open to the world, viz To match race

agreed upon. post entries for OxE HUNDRED Thou
SAND dollars aside, the Horses to carry weight for
age to be run over the Ten Brock course near that
city. In order to induce English Turfmen to accept
this banter hechallengng party agrees that IN the
event they should do So and lose the race, i've per
cent upon the money stsked, in other words, i've
thousand dollars viii be allowed them to pay the ex-
peuses Of their horses.
This is certainly liberal and fair proposition, and
one that the English people should not allow to pass
unnOticsd, if they really believe in the superiority
of their horses.
Mr.. Ten Brock has set them an example Of the
confidence, of American sportsmen, by going to
England without any inducements, and entering and
running his horses under many apparent disadvan-
ages s.l.-r4a@
The course at Savannah is considered by racing
men and those competent to judge, one amongst, II
not the best Turf in the United States, and its po

accepted, concourse of people may be expected to
gather there which shall far Outnumber any assem-
blaee ever witnessed on a similar occasion in this

amounts to four five millions of dollars. More
tobacco is raised in Virginia, and opened inspected

South that the choicest specimens of the weed as
sumo the shape which cOmmends it TO the
regard of devoted chewers everywhere. Tobacco
is put up in many different ways almost as there
are chewers. There is much difference between
the ideas of the Yankee and SOuherner on this ques-
ton of taste, there any other matter The
former likes his pig tair' plentfully sweetened,

Abstinence from so-cSlled liquors will soon be-
