Description OF CHARLESTON -Charleston
is an old fashioned city still preserving much
OF the aspect of colonial times. The houses
seem anxious to put on as ancient a look as
possible as if in Difference to the unprogress-
i've spirit Of the place, and in the more aris-
tocratic quarter they are generally built
apart, surrounded 10y gardens or walks, wall
ed in from curious eyes. A peep inside re-
veals ginpses of old brick mansions with
stone dressings, and broad stone steps leading
up to a central door. Later additions, built
in accordance with modern ideas, seem
strangely incongruous. As each private
house of any pretension endeavors to differ
in appearance with its neighbor, they have a
diversified aspect by no means classical The
churches are the most costly locking and solid
in the Atlantic States Tie business parts of
the city remind one of parallel localities in
New York, though now, unfortunately, the
signs of business are but few The houses
are of every tint, and the individuality of
the owners is impressed upon wood, brick
and imitation marble A bank, built like a
Doric temple, has, fer its next neighhor, RI
val in the shape of a miniature Moorish pal
ace. The signs are quaint and attractive,
save here and there the inscription Slaves
for sale here"

lNTEmpERaNcE AND DEsurUuoN AT STOCK
roN.-The Stockton Argus, Of Tuesday, re-
lates the following sad case:
woman called yesterday upon the city
sexton and informed him that her child,
few weeks old, had died from some cause of
which she was ignorant, and desired him to
prepare a coffin and inter it. The woman was
weeping bitter tears that would have excited
sympathy but for the fact that she was lutox-
icated, and scarcely able to stand erect, her
hair disheveled and her general Appearance
denoting that degree of degradation and
shame which can only attach to a drunken
woman. The Sexton complied with her re-
quest and accompanied her to the place of
her residence, where he Sound the body of
the infant. The husband of the woman and
large family of children were in the house
the husband beastly drunk. Everything
about the little room which they occupied
was in confusion, presenting a scene of which
only those familiar with the appearance of a
@runkards home can have proper idea. The
Sexton left the house and shortly after re-
turned in company with the Coroner who
examined the body of the little one and made
such inquiry with regard to the cause of its
death as he deemed necessary; but the moth
or could only litter IN broken accents thatche
first discovered it to be dead while holding it
to the breast. The body was placed in the
coffin and removed from the house, and after
proper examination into the probable cause
0! its death, it will be Inferred. This is "A

virtue has hitherto afforded its citizens a

MOORISH LADIES 1t is rarely that Moorish
ladies OF rank, says a writer in the Home
Journal, ever leave the precincts of their
own habitations. Whenever they do so, it is
generally for the purpose of attending the
bath, and their transit thither from their
abodes is effected in IA closely covered car
riage. their faces at the same time being
studiously concealed from the vulgar gaze.
There was one respectable old lady who had
been seventy years in Algiers, and being one
day persuaded to pay visit to European
lady, was utterly astoGnded at the size of the
town and the appearance of the country
around, of which she knew no more than if
she had passed her life on an iceberg. The
most they ever do is to walk on the house
tops at dusk, and enjoy for a short time the
serene beauty of the evening and the daz-
zing magnfcence of the planetary orbs
above And how can minds, wild and untu-
tored as theirs, enter into the magic poetry
that breathes around in every wavelet of the
scarce concealed blue of the atmosphere
DeBd alike to the external world and know
ing naught of the uneXplored recesses of the
internal, they live life Of unconquerable
eanUi, and die Ike dogs-no expectation, no
nope lpf lntuli OF au1nl save iHe udIh eternity
Of nothingness. Yet the Moorish lady has
one object in life-that of getting as fat as
she possibly can The more Acsh she makes.
the better is she pleased, as the Algerians
look upon beauty in particularly solid point
of view, Judging it in great measure by the
comparative number of pounds, avoirdupois
or troy, which it may contain. The larger
her proportions, the more chance has the
Mauresque of securing her husbands affec-
tion-a by no means inferior consideration
in country where wives form staple article
of commerce. To attain this Object there
are few things she will shrink from eating
and drinking, and a legion, (rather dubious,
| am afraid is ahoat concerning European
lady, who actually succeeded in making a
Moorish woman swallow "A teaspoontul of cod
liver oil, which she had with truth informed

made him unpopular. We accordingly took

At length, Mr. Pitt rose and with that com
maudiug eloquence in which he eXcelled, he
spoke for half an hour, with an overpowering
lorce of persuasion more than the clear con-
yiction of argument. He was opposed by
several speakers, to none of whom he vouch-
Safed to make an answer, but to James Os-
wald, of Dunnikier, who was very able man

SENATORS on a LARK.-It is refreshing oc-

and chronicle line or Two relative to Hon

as they arc after all merely flesh and blood
and susceptible of the weaknesses thereunto
apperaining. A Sharp game in which no
compromise could possibly be entertained
came off on Monday night Of which the fol-
lowing yeritahe account is a shadow. Two
of our Senators, being on a lark called at the
hotel of an attache of the Legislature and
sent the sable Mercury to his room with
note advising him that there was a lady be
low who wished tG see him. The Legislative
attache-a Teuton-came down duty
bound, and inquired of the colored Mercury
who it was that gave him the note. The lat
ter pointed to a female who sat on a sofa at a
short distance, and just distuguishable in the
dim gaelight The attache approached her
very CALAMITY and seated himself by her
side She began to sob "Mine Got" said
he, "what hash been doing?' No answer
being returned, he cireed her waist with his
arm and tried to soothe her, and as last re-
sort ventured to kiss her. The last dodge let
the cat out of the bag-the lady was seized
with Mysteries and proved to be one Of our
Senators. Suffice it. that the attache took it
all in good part-treated all hands and is

lose his life, if necessary!

dispatches These sensation dispatches sent from
Wilmington to Raleigh, and from Raleigh all over
the State to excite the people, part of the dsun-
