We have often wondered why some bold and enter

REMARKABLE SCENE AT THE SALE o,

REMARKABLE SCENE AT THE SALE OF
THE WANDERER.-Wsh have seen o private
letter from gentleman who was present
when the yacht Wamderer, condemned as a
SLAYER, was sold at Savannah by order of
the United States Court. The writer says
that when the auctioneer commenced, Mr..
Lamar stepped up and said: Gentlemen,
this vessel belongs to me in every sense of
the word. She has been taken from me
by the high hands of the law. The United
Statet claim her, but I say she is mine;
and shall not expect any one to bid a.
gainst me. And I bid ore dollar for her.
Mr.. Vanhorn bid against him, and the
price was run up to $4,000, at which the
vessel was knocked down to Mr.. Lamar.
The successful bidder then turned to Mr..
Yanhorn, and with words to profane and
indecent to be repeated, knocked him
down. The fallen man rose to defend
himself bat the sympathy Of the compa.
ny was so manifestly with the assailant,
and the indications of violence and blood.
sked so plain, that his friends took him
away, some of Lamar's hackers calling out,
|~Charley, kill himi" Which the writer ol
the letter does not doubt would have
been promptly done. Savannah has al
wsys been regarded as an orderly city,
and one in which, if any where south of the
Potomac, the laws against the slave trade
could be enforced with the support ol
public sentiment. Journal
