| PEN AND INK PoRTaAIT OF GEO. d
PRENTIcE.-A correspondent of t h G
Nashville Banner, who was fellow pas.
senger with Mr.. Prentice "down the Mis-.
sissippi," furnishes the following person
al description of that gentleman, whose
recent lecture in this city was so bril-
liantly attended and so generally ad-
mired.
Prentice is aboard George D.-the e,li-
tor of the Louisville Journal, Lecturer
and Poet. Did you ever see him A short
man, thick set, round body, short mus
cular legs, short round arms, hands to suit.
neck coming straight down into his
shoulders, and pretty short and thick, face
decidedly marked. His cheeks stick out
like young cubs when his mouth is dis
tended with unmasticated corn,(a young
cub is ayoung bear, you know his chin
Is short, his lips firm and thin, his mouth
well outlined and of the protruding or
pouting type; his nose is straight, not
sunk nor Roman, and not blunt nor sharp
"a regular good nose his eye is little,
round and restless, enveloped in fat,
which obscures it without he looks at you;
it looks funny, witty, severely sarcastic,
calculating, cold, quick, without great
humanity, yet not precisely selfish, eau
tious, piercing and with little facility for
tears. His brow is black, little arched
and moderately wide. His head is, if
you would have it in word, round; it is
a good head, large behind and before,
not fiat on top and not scanty on the
sides; forehead high and full. His ear
is small, and sticks close to his head
His hair is dark, when dry, inclined to
friz up, Obscures his ears and neck, very |
thin on top, and hangs over his brow, |
without care or regularity. He shaves
clean; wears dove -colored suit, pants
and coat alike, vest of plain black, loose,
turn-down collar leaving the neck ex-
posed; wears no jewelry; keeps an old
pair of steel specks alternately ON his
toretop or before his eyes. He has an
old hat, worn smooth, which comes down
to his ears, high and large, full of papers
and big red handkerchief. He wears
blue socks, and pair of old buckskin

eGT For months past tho Memphi
AraiaxcAe, says the jackson Eagle ha.
been coming down, column after column
like real mountain avalanche, upon the
devoted head of Stephen A. Douglas
Its able editor has ransacked the vocabu.
larry of abuse, to find the darkest, most
terrible and most damning epithets with
which to brand the traitor Douglas. -
In late issue of his paper, however, he
says: "If Judge Douglas should by
any intrigue, contrive to secure the nomi-
nation at Charleston, ue uould support
him as aceH as we could under the circuns-
stances" If another had told us that
this was in the Avalanche we could hard
ly have credited the statement.
"A change passed o'er the spirit of my
dream"

Mobile point light, and discovered she
had not anchored at all, but by letting
out the chains had deceived both himself
and the officers Of the Revenue Cutter.
1t was foggy night, and but one vessel
was visible, which was supposed to be
the Revenue Cutter, but this of course,
was a mistake. The Lieutenant then
immediately ordered the vessel to
come to anchor but he was informed by
Captain Maury that, though it was the
duty of the Lieutenant to make the or
der, it would not be obeyed. The vessel
then proceeded on her way uninterrup-
ted, Captain Maury stating that she was
bound to Greytown, and had Mississippi
and Minnie rifles on board.
There were two hundred and twenty
men on board, besides the crew. Among
them, besides Captain Maury, there were
COL Frank Anderson, Col. Bruneau, COL
Mcdonnell, Major Ellis, Col. Rudler,
Captain West and Captain Dreux. All
the men were armed with revolvers, and
there were swords and other weapons on
board.
Lieutenant White was kindly treated
by the officers on the Susan, and remain.
ed on board until last Thursday, when
ne was placed on the Oregon, by which
vessel he was brought to this place.
So in spite of all the traps and snares
set, the "indomitable" is off for good -
In the language of the Mercurial poet,
We say:
10 Nicaragua Walkers bound,
tie scorns your mean Illustration,
Impartial judges, Northern spies,
And Bucks Administration.
Success to Maury and his men,
They'll safely cross the water,
Three cheers for Southern enterprise
Hurrah for General Walker.''

NICARAGUA, GEN. WALKER.

| 1t seems the schooner Susan, who's,
clandestine departure from Mobile, W,
chronicled last week, was pursued by tn,
U. S. revenue Cutter, McCleland, anc
overhauled, but again escaped, as will bs
seen by the following details taken from
a Mobile paper:
On Monday, December 9Th, Lieut.. s
b. Caldwell, and boats crew from the
McLelland, boarded the Susan, then w.
ing in the Bay of Mobile, some six miles
above the feet, and demanded her pa
pers. The answer was that the Susan
would wait at the feet for them. Lieut.
Caldwell made this report to Capt. Nor
rlson, of the cutter, who ordered Lieut..
Caldwell to take the Susan to Dog River
Bar, and there keep her; and ordered
Lieut.. White to remain on board until
otherwise directed.
Captain Maury would not permit this
and Captain Morrison concluded to ac.
company the Susan to the feet, and the
two vessels went down on Monday night.
Here they remained within one hundred
yards OF each other all night, Captain
Morrison having informed Captain Mau-
ry that If he attempted to go out he would
sink him.
On Tuesday morning about ten o'clock |
both vessels weighed anchor, and sailed
about the bay until three O'Clock. From |
three O'Clock until dark the time was
passed in sending and receiving commu-
lications from each other. The last com.
from the Susan to the Nc.
Jielland was received at ten O'Clock on
tuesday night. Lieut.. White was then
nformed that there was an agreement
hat the vessel should come to anchor
n the night, and hearing the anchor
hains, supposed the Susan was coming
, an anchor, and retired to the cabin
nd it was not until midnight, that he
card orders that led him TO believe that S
10 vessel was still under way. J
On returning to the deck, he found the
'ssel heading down the channel to the 9

CHRISTMAS is COMING,

christmas is coming!" yells the hap.
Ply schoolboy, as he revels in apticipa.
tions Of quafing foaming bumbers Of de-
llcious eggnogg. "Christmas is COM
ing,' chimes in the merry schoolgirl, and
visions OF books and frowning tutors, fade
from her view. "Quithmas ith coming"
llsps four year old specimens of human
lty, and $50 ith Santa Claus" we add.
Christmas is coming" bawls our devil,
who has brushed his sunday -go-to-meet-
in toggery, and VOWS he'll press some
pretty girl's-hand, before the holidays
pass. Christmas is coming % echoes
among the files of papers, hung in such
charming regularity all around the Print
ing Office, and we think we will take a
bust around. Yes, next Saturday is
Christmas ! How many who shared in
the pleasures of last Christmas will be
missed from the festal board this Christ
mas But
Time cuts down all,
Both great and small
and it is the province of man to bow
meekly to his fate. Christmas, however.
is not the season to speculate upon the
misfortunes of the world, and we are one
who always hail its annual return with the
eager simplicity of a youthful heart. In
advance of its joyous return We tender
the compliments of the season to all our
friends, both aged and youthful, and dedi
cate to them the Prairie News, as their
earliest Christmas Gift" Like the hi
larity of Christmas that rolls its tide over
the isthmus, connecting the old and new
year making holidays in both, so our
friends give the parting hand in Decem-
Der, while this welcoming one for jan
lary is extended toward US. We clasp
'ne with the warmest thanks for the past
the other with the brightest hopes for

REPUTATION OF SEwARD's Pro
GRAMME.-There is scarcely Black Re
publican journal at the North that has
not come out in open and manly repudia.
ton Of the bloody programme laid down
by Seward, in his Rochester speech
The sentiments and doctrines of that
speech are denounced and rejected by
nearly the whole of them. And this is a
most favorable and cheering sign. 1t
shows that Seward has overreached him
self and can no longer exert much in.
auence over the Republican party. In
a word, he is done for, both as a Presi
Dental aspirant and as leader of the
Republican party.

have received this document, but 1t is toe
long to publish entire. The topics
though, upon which it treats. may be in.
teresting. so We have concluded to pab-
lish brief synopsis, which gives pret.
y, good idea of its general features.-
Those who wish to read the whole mes
sage, (and twill do very well to pass
away a tedious hour or two in such a
Way, we reckon will be able to get hold
OF copy. A synopsis of the reports of
the members Of the Cabinet will also be
found in to-day's paper.

Hold on-Hold on to your tongue
when you are just ready to swear, lie,
speak harshly, or say any improper word
Hold on to your hand when you are about
to strike, pinch, scratch, steal, or do any
disobedient or improper act. Hold on to
your foot when you are on the point of
kicking, running away from duty, or pur-
suing the path of error, shame or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you are
angry, excited, or imposed upon, or 9th
ers are angry about you. Hold on to
your heart when evil associates seek your
company and invite you to join them in
their games, mirth revelry. Hold on to
your good name at all times, for ii is
more valuable to you than GOLD high
place or fashionable attire. Hold on 10
the Truth, for it will serve you we'll and
do you good through life and through
eternity. Hold on to your virtue, it is
above price to you in all times and
places. Hold on to your good chsrac.
ter, for it is, and ever will be, your best
wealth.

Dry Rot IN Cotton.-The last Laud.
erdale (Miss.) Republican contains o
prize essay on the above subject, deliver,
ed by DR.. Peyton King at the recent fair
OF the Lauderdale County Agricultural
Society He comes to the conclusions
that:
The dry rot primarily and mainly pro-
ceeds from diseased or faulty seed that
dry weather very much promotes it, and
seaonable weather checks or retards it !:
thirsty or manured land is favorable to
1t; and it will regularly increase more or
less so long as the present diseased seed
are planted; that the great body of seed
now planted are diseased; and that to
eradicate the rot, seed must be obtained
free from it.
