Office, in Court Square,, a client came in and
said:
Squire D., W, the stahler, shaved
me dreadfully, yesterday, and want to come
up with him. ~ -

Il asked him how much he'd charge me
for a horse, to go 10 Detlham. He said one
dollar aud a half. l took the team. and when
7 came back he said he wantcd another dollar
and a half for coming back. and made me
pay it,"
D gave him some legal advice, which
the client Immediately acted npon, as follows:

Yesterday. about 104 o'clock two-story

about years old. were in an upstairs room.

When the fire was discovered, il had pro-

although it was brought promptly on the
ground, and vigorously worked after the WAY

procuring water, for want of lire plug in
the vicinity and n sufficient supply of water

former prosperity. These traces of civ
ton are gradually disappearing in jnhsfe
composed of the Cactus o,nnsfsa. the gigantic
Cdct,is Tuna. called by the Spaniards Hiy,ero
del Demonio Tor -Fig-tree of the Devil,') and
the equally formidable acacia tortaosa. For
tunately we have no beasts of prey in the
island, and these jungles harbor nothing
worse than iocks of vultures~ and the legion
of nnclean spirits generated by malaria.
Amidst this desolation swarms populace OF
negroes whose filthy looks and habits. open
vice. noisy and demonstrative obscenity beg
gar description and cannot even be conceived
by those who have not visited Jamaica. The
authorities punish thefts and violent crimes
when these are brought to light, but, with
these exceptions, there is no restraint on the
brutal prOpensities of the lower classes.
White females living here must accustom
themselves to sights aud language whch in
America men would scarcely tolerate.
The main edible resource of our idle popu-
lation is the fruit of the mango, (Nangifera
md,cd,) which grows wild now in every part
of The island not above an altitude of 1000
feet, although its first introduction here is
within the memory of many old persons. In
the mango season the lands belonging to the
Duke of Buckingham at Hope, which twenty
years ago were magnificent sugar estate.
supply the means of sustaining an indolent
yet miserably destitute existence. The owner
of large estate near Kingston, some years
ago, destroyed all the mango trees on his
lands, in the hope that, deprived of this
main-stay of idleness, tenaniry would be
compelled by necessity to earn little money.
The mango season is followed by that of
the sweet-sop, (Annona squamosa.) which
also. most unhappily. affords the means of in
dulging in the idleness which the negro seems
to cherish above every other sensual enjoy
ment.
Such are the free citizens. or rather, I
should say, this is feeble attempt to convey
to you an idea Of the degraded state of the
inhabitants of this beautiful island.

1S- The development of the Copper
Mines, known as the Alleghaney, lying in
North Georgia and East Tennessee is now at
tracing the attention of monied men of our
State-such far seeing, practical men as r.
III. Smith and DR.. Anderson. of Mobile aad
E. X Carlisle of Perry. and Lieut.. Maury of
Washington, ID. C., besides many others, are
investing largely in the stock of the Company
which is now being organized to put up ex-
tensiye machinery to work these mines. The
value of the ores taken from them has been
fully tested. and they are said to be superior
to any in the country; and the product pro-
misses to be even greater than those valuable
mines bordering on Lake Superior. If the
mineral regions of tbs South were developed
we dare say they would prove the richest in
the world;-and we are glad to see our own
people investing their funds for the develop
ment of this vast source of wealth 1t will
not be long before the Warrior Iron and Coal
Fields will attract the attention of capital
lists. Nothing is needed for this purpose but
the completion of the n. E. and S. w. Rail-
road, when our own men of capital and en-
terprise would work them and throw their
rich products into the markets of the world
The world needs both Iron, Copper and Coal
they exist in abundance in the region tr,s-
versed by this Road, but of what value are
they, landlocked in the mountains, with no
possible outlet to the markets, except by
Railroads? The wants of mankind loudly
call for the construction of this Road.-Eu-

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union continues to advocate the equal
ity Of the vessels of all nations upon the high
seas. 1t admits the power of the British Navy,
but denies that such power confers upon her
men of war rights superior to those of the YES
sells of the weakest Power in Christendom. The
existence of suspected ATTITUDES it thinks
should excite Powers to increased vigilance in
preventing the abuse of their flags, but does not
at all weaken the immunity which is the neces-
sary result of the principle that vessel on the
high seas is part of the jurisdiction which con-
fers upon it its flag.
The Onron, reviewing the chaotic condition
OF the Opposition, is hopeful of the return of the
reign OF reason among some of the fragments of
parties that have been warning against the
Democracy.
The Union also notices, editorially, the dig
turbances at New Orleans.

public buildings in the city OF Pniladelphia, and
the amendments of the Senate thereto, were
passed.
Mr.. Cay, at his own request was excused from
further service on the Committee on FOREIGN Re-
iations. His ground for excuse was that for more
than week he had been trying to make a report
from that committee on the subject of British

Rouse mad received resolution from member
not on that committee on the same subject
