An ENTHUSIASTIC EDIToR.-The editor Of the Nor
folk Argus, recording the receipt of some cotton
shipped through from Memphis to that port, finds
plain prose too tame to express his feelings, and
accordingly breaks forth into the following poeti-
cal rhapsody. We trust somebody will hold the
Norfolk man until we get there to the celebration,
when we will endeavor to cool him off by pouring
a bottle of water from upper James River upon
the top of his head:
FIRST THROUGH FREIGHT FROM THE MISSISSIPPI.
We record with much pleasure that car load
of cotton came through the entire line from Mem
phis yesterday, passed the depot of the n. L.
Road, and continued down the tract in Wide Wa
ter Street, as far Market Square There are
only 81 bales, but it is good beginning and,
Judging from information from the West this
shipment, which was made by Samuel Tate Esq,
President of the Charleston and Memphis X. Il.
Co., will be followed by cotton, tobacco, and other
produce in large and increasing quantities.
We threatened to crops louder than before over
the first car load through from Memphis We
certainly feel like fulfilling our threat now

An FRESHMAN IN TRouBLE.-James Murphy, an
Irshman, hailing from the city of New York, and
claiming to be in search of work, was taken up by
officers Dawson and Taylor the street at late
hour Sunday night rs, n yagrant-was lodged i'll
the Gag until morning when he was discharged
by the Mayor on his promising to leave the city.
We would respectfully suggest to jamie. that he
committed a very great mistake in leaving the
Empire City ut the time he did lie should have
remembered that the Democracy required his val
liable services in the great struggle which occurs
there to-day. John Kelly John Cochrane, and
Dan Sickles, the - Representative Men" of the
incorruptible, glorious and patriotic Democratic
party of that great city in virtue OF the unho-
" alliance of the villianous Know Nothngs and
Black Republicans. in imminent danger Of losing
the places which they at present, SO much adorn
The lustre reflected ON our National character by
the services of these illustrious Democrats is
Of the most refulgent nature, and their displace-
ment from our country's councils would cause a
thrill of anguish in the bosom of every sound
Democrat in the nation. Such being the case, it
was incumbent on Murphy, that he should be on
the spot where mems souls are tried, and by his
prowcss and personal influence, aid in avcrtlng a
catastrophe so dire. Should this night witness
the flag of 1.-THE only National party" trailing in
the dust, and its chosen champions consigned to
the receptacle prepared for defunct politicians, no
small share of the result will be attributed to the
absence of the Murphy's, OBren's, Flaherty $
OTooles, and others Of that ilk, who have on all
former occasions barred their stalwart arms, to the
blows OF the common adversary.

MAyoR's CouRr.-IIis Honor did very brisk
business yesterday, there being less than thir-
teen cases before him. With single exception,
they were all confined to the cullered population.
The first offender on docket was York. slave to
Isaac Adams, and hired to Saunders Chalmers,
who was arrested on Bridge street after lawful
hours Sunday night by;offcers Burch and Gouldin.
In consideration Of his age. and previous good
conduct, he was discharged with reprimand.
William, slave to Austin NJ. Tribe, was arrest
cd on Market street same night, by same officers,
on like charge. He was ordered ten lashes.
William, slave to Jack JONES' and hired to VIM.
Crumpton, was arrested Sunday night on Main
street, after lawful hours. without rass-was or
dered ten lashes.
Waller, slave to Seth Halsey. was arrested tn"
same night, on Main street, without pass-thc
pass was afterwards found and the negro dis
charged.
On Saturday night, Newton and George, slaves
to Capt. McCorkle. John, George. and Sam, slaves
to - English, and John, Winston, and Albert,
slaves to Dr.. Saunders, were arrested by High
Constable Brown, at the negro kitchen of b..
Dcane, near his Foundry. The occasion Of the
gathering was ''grand sociable" among the dar-
kies, but owing to the too great prevalence of
spirits, what was intended as very select party,
degenerated into common Irish shindy. In
consequence Of this "uprorous conluct,the ne Oh
bors made complaint, and general arrest ensured
the eight above named were each ordered ten
lashes, and nine Others who have not yet been ar
rested, will, doubtless suffer like infection.

We took q fids into theconEy hst wsck,,
nassinxs throdgh he counaies of Harrison'
and Monona. The corn ground along the
road presents very diversified appearance,
owing to the almost incessant rains of the
past month. The fields planted before the
heavy rains fell, (about the first Of June)
looks remarkably well, and promises an
abundant yield. Latephnted corn does not
look 50 well, yet, on the whele, should we
be blessed with favorable season, the
SLOPE will turn out an average yield of our
staple crop. The prospects, for large crops
of wheat and oats were never more fatter-
ing. As far as our observation extends,
farmers were generally very well satisfied
with the prospects Of the coming harvest.

At the last session of the District Court
for this County, young man was tried and
convicted Of horsc-stcaling, and sentenced
to the Penitentiary. Our Sheriff started with
the said prisoner for Fort Madison, ria the
Missouri River. Did he reach his destina-
ton? If so, did he deliver the prisoner to
the proper authorities, at the Penitentiary {?
After an absence of some fifteen days from
this city, our Sheriff returned, and stated to
parties here, that he delivered the prisoner
to tho proper authorities at Fort Madison.
This was all right, as far as it went, but
some days subsequently, he very quietly

that the prisoner jumped overheard, some

Ia state that he delivered him into safe keep.
