A Mobile Vessel Fired Into BY a Brit
tiM C,uiser.-Captain Halves, of the
schooner Mobile from this city, arrived
in New York on Tuesday night, reports
that on the goth ult., when 25 miles south
of Key West, he saw a steamship to
windward bearing down on them. Hove
to to speak to her, and when within rifle
shot distance, she commenced firing rifles
at us, the balls from which passed be-
tween the men on deck and lodged in the
bulwarks. They hauled down the jibs,
when they fired two more shots. They
then sent boat on board of the Mobile
and overhauled the vessels papers, and
declared their intention to seize the YES
sci, not having a foreign register on board,
but afterwards left without doing so.-
They gave no reason for acting as they
did, nor did they deny plainly seeing the
American ensign set on our vessel.
The steamer was the British war stea-
mer Styx-Mobile Ereming Neaos.
The above carries its own commenta-
ry. British, Spanish or any other kind of
men of war can search, fire into and dis
able our merchantmen, and Uncle Sam
either maintains the most Indifferent 81
lence, or enters a simple protest! If we
have a government which can, and wilI
not take any steps to prevent our citizens
from being insulted, their lives and prop
erty endangered, perhaps destroyed, we
ask in the name of common sense, what
is the use of having government.

The soathern CommereIal Convention.

Ihe southern Commercial Convention.
has met and adjourned. AS is usual
with everything, some condemn it as a
most ridiculous farce throughout, and de-
nounce it and all other such bodies as
grand humbugs; others again contend
that 1t will result in incalculable good to
the South, and her institutions. Nearly
the whole time was taken up in discuss
ing the propriety of re-opening the slave
trade. Some disunion expressions and
threats were made by prominent men,
bers Of the Convention. Also some
strong fillibustering resolutions were pass
ed. Hon. VIM Il Yancey doomed large
~ as the advocate. of the re-opening of
the slave trade, opposed though not ably
as some say, by Mr.. Pryor of the Rich
mond South, and others.
Whether these Conventions are, or
will be of any material advantage to the
South, is question we do not feel quail
fed to answer, but we are an instructive
believer in Manifest Destiny" and go
for haring Mexico, Cuba and Nicaragua,
and when a convention or any other col.
lective body advocates and processes a
willingness to carry out this doctrine, We
are with them. That many go to these
Conventions to let off surplus gas is
doubtless true, but it cannot be denied
that many honest, and patriotic men go
there and advocate measures, and en-
deavor to disseminate principles which
they deem will be to the interest and
welfare of their country, were they car
ried out. 1t is TO meet next year in
Vicksburg, Mississippi.

paper must have lonely time of it in
travelling the distance between Rienzi

Young men, a word. We want to tell
you when you should take your hat and
be off, And mind what we offer. 1t is
When you are asked to take drink.
When you find out you are counting a
slovenly and extravagant girl.
When you find yourself in doubtful
company.
When you discover your expenses run
ahead of your income.
When you are abusing the confidence
of your friends.
When you think that you are great
deal wiser than older and more expert
enced people than yourself
When you feel like getting trusted to
a new suit of clothes, when You haven't
money to pay for them
When you don't perform your duty,
your whole dnty, and nothing but your
duty.
Our devil adds: When you're out a
counting and your sweetheart, by sundry
yawns gives evidence of being sleepy, or
by restless glances at the door evinces a
desire for you to vamose, or, in short,
when, by any hints, she gives you to under
