As this gentleman S name has been somewhat freely
and unchartably used in the debate among the stock
holders of the Pacific Railroad Company, assembled
at Louisville on the 2Gth ult We deem it an act oil
pure and simple justice to Mr.. Lawrason says the
New Orleans Bee of Saturday morning last, to re
publish his note addressed to the editors of the
Pcayune, and published in yesterdays number o.
that Journal Upon perusing that debate we were
surprised and indignant at the mputations cast on
MI Lawrasons integrity, and fully satisfied that nc
person in New Orleans will attach the slightest
credit to charges at once so ungenerous and SO IN,
founded. Mr. Lawrason has for many years been a
prominent citizen Of New Orleans. He has filled
public Offices with dignity and pro6ity. He was Col
lector Of the Port during part OF Willard Fillmore
administration, and settled his accounts with the
Government to the last farthing. He now holds the
responsible office Of a Representative in the State
Legislature. The community in which be has lived
from boyhoOd know him to be gentleman of unim.

at him. regard them as entirely false and SANDER

rason's note
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2, IS58.-Editors of the Pic,
ANNE In your synopsis Of the first day proceedings
of the Pacific Railroad meeting at Louisville, Ken.
lucky, published in this mornings edition of the
Picayune, find the following paragraph:
We may also mention that, on the debate, com,
plant was made by stockholders that they had sent
money and certificates Of stock to the Secretary in
New Orleans Of the former Board Of Directors, and
could get no return or account Of them
If this paragraph is intended to make the impress,
sion that received any certificate or money from
any stakeholder during my term Of office or after
wards aud did not legally and truly account for the
same, pronounce the statement northumberland false
l cannot know what certificates or money were sent
to the office at New Orleans but know that all that
were recciucd by me have been duly credited to the
parties for whose benefit they were sent.
1t is impossible for me to characterize any decara-
ton to the contrary otherwise than as an infamous
libel and falSeto0d
I am collecting testimony to refate the repeated
Misrepresentation which have lately been published
in the Louisville Journal, and prefer presenting tia
public with the facts and the proof Of them at the
same time.
Very respectfully, your obsient servant
GEORGE I.

SINGULAR ACcIDENT.-The WatertoWn Journal
says that the engineer Of the train from Potsdam,
few days since, while crossing Holton Bridge near
Antwerp, observed the singular spectacle of man
hanging from one of the beams thereof The train
was stopped and the matter looked into. The man
had evidently been dead but a little while It was
inferred that the man. while crossing the bridge, with
the strap of his carpet bag about his neck stumbled
and fell. He pitched one side the beam and the bag
the other. The bag balanced the man, and the strap
being strong and fast around the neck there was no
help for him, and in this singular position he was
found. There was no clue about him that indicated
his name Or home. He appeared to be poor way

A QUEER AFFArR.-A Dubuque Uowa) paper says
that ball was recently given by the employees of
hotel in that city to which certain young girl was
invited whom the other young girls of the house be-
decked for the occasion; that at this ball beau
became enamored Of her and danced with her the
entire evening that the ball breaking up at rather
late hour, she was invited to sleep with her working
companions in the hotel she having been in the habit
of returning home to her mother every evening after
her labors were ended that she complied with the
invitation and slept with two of the girls all night
and that in the morning the young girl was found to
be boy From subsequent inquiries, it was ascer-
tanned that the mother had suggested this costume to
her son for the purpose Of enabling him to get en-
ployment, whichhe was unable to do while wearing
the bifurcated costume.

Inherent PCcuIiaritiHS.

In one Of the New England States l
know a lad, now about twelve or thirteen
years of age, whose condition IS re-
markabIe demonstration Of the natural
law that, in every case, the child is avery
faithful copy Of lis parents.
The boy Is natural drmkard. From
his birthday to the present moment he
has given all the outward Indications Of
being nearly drunk; and yet, so far as |
know or think it probable, he has never
swal.awed a drop of ardent spirits in his
life. Though in good sound health he
has ne7er walked without staggering.
lis head Is always upon his breast; and
his speech IS Of that peculiar character
which marks persons IN 4 very low STAGE
Of intoXication. If, nevertheless, in the
midst Of his muuerings and rceIiurS,
something Is said to him in 4 way to pass
through the thick atmosphere Of his in
teLIectuaI being, and penetrate his mind,
he at once rouses, like a common tirDLer,
and gives proof enough that he Is not
wanting in native talents, however his
mental faculties are eushroudcd. His
disposition. also, seems to be extremely
amiable He Is kind to every one near
him; and, l may add, he is not only pit
led for his misfortune, but in spite of his
lamentable condition, regarded with no
common interest He Is looked upon as
a star Of no mean magnitude, obscured
and almost bIotted out by the mist in
which he IS doomed to dwell, till he shall
pass from the present to a better state Of
existence.
Now, as | understand the law Of he
reditary descent. there Is nothing unnat-
uraI in this boys case. Every hIdividu-
al ever born, Is governed by the same
principle, which caused him to be what
he is. Prior to marriage his father had
been a secret but confirmed druukard; !;
and when the fact became known to the
gentle and sweet-spiriteJ being, who hut
few months before, had become his
wife, the revolution was made suddenly.
and in a way the most impressive and ap-
paIlmr. One night, when he was sup
posed to he the most WnimpCachahle Of
husbands. he staggered home and fell on
the floor in q state OF wretchei inebria-
ton. For weeks he waIIOwed in misery.
During the next six or seven months. see
ing that his domestic reputation had been
forfeited, he kept up almost 4 continual
scene Of iutoxication When. at the
end Of this period, he was told that he
was the 'husbaut Of 4 mother" La stag

\ TASREE SKETCH.

Travellers have all discovered that
strangers, making their debut in large or
small villages, generally create more or
less sensation among the natives who
If the stranger puts on the slightest de-
gree Of mystery, or stops among them
any length of time-Iose no space nor
spare any exeruon to sift him to the very
bottom.
In one Of these localities, the over
grown village Of Dayton, Ohio, several
years ago, there made his appearance a
Iong-legged lean, Iank specimen Of hu-
man nature, whose tout ensemble bespoke
him from the land of pork and beans,
or, as some seem to reckon it, the land of
steady habits away down east! The
crItter seemed somewhat out of his Iati-
tude, and how or whittier he came, none
appeared able to elucidate; but certain it
was, the stranger created no little sensa-
ton around the village, peeping every
where, with his fists carefully slowed
away into the deep recesses of his capa-
cious pockets, and his fuzzy white hat
knocked and crowded into all manner
Of acute angles and indentations, sitting
jauntily upon his tow-hair covered head.
He had been seen making his entree
into the village upon the tow-path Of the
canal, from toward Cincinnati, early in
the morning; and about noon, after hav-
ing well threaded each by-way, lane,
street, avenue and alley of the village, he
brought up at a cake and beer shop near
the centre Of the village, and Immediate
ly walked into the aforesaid depot of
cheap fodder. a Dutchman kept the
shop and as it was a place of common re-
sort Of the idIers and stragglers, it was
toIeraJIy well slowed when our down.
east genius popped his hatchet-shaped
Phiz into il. He took a cool survey Of
things in general and the pyramid Of GIN
ger-bread in particular.
"Heow dye deou g. said he, giving the
old Dutchman behind the counter IA
ml.iar nod, which the cake and beer man
returned with another nod, and sort Of
Iow cultural vibration between that Of a
snort and grunt.

"WeII, I ink has few" said the
beer man.

by this time was the cynosore Of all eyes
and the object Of considerable merl'

shop.
