ana represeu tatiYe OF the Charleston Bar, ii
,l, person of James l.. Petigru Esq. Mr
Peugru is, believe, Il native OF this city -
He IS now about sixty years of age, about tiv,
teet ION inches in height, stout, without re

forehead but low, ponderous brow, very
small eyes and deep set; indeed the eve is 81
small one can hardly determine the colo
without close examination, but they shine
nevertheless, like far dis tant stars. MIR. Peti

unsurpassed in this country. His voice is o

Caise his hearers with humor, you will hay
10 biud up your sides before you enter tn
hall. He is exceedingly companionable, ful
u lie and auecdota, always pleasant and goot
hlmored. and IS the life OF social gatherings
He ordinarily walks the streets alone, slowl,
aad thOughuully, with his cane under his LET
arm and His hands behind him. / heard
good auecdote OF Mr.. Petlgru few days ago
Some years ago, he was a candidate for som'

names, such as id liar" rascal" ant
perhaps thief all of which he bore W i'll
perfect good humor. At last, the fellow, afte
eIhausting his vocabulary, called him
damned FederaliSt," and no sooner sal
than he sprawled him. After it was all over
soma friend said 10 him, Pet, why did yo
permit shat man 10 apply such harsh epithet
10 you without Tesentlng it, and for cailin
you Z EeGeralist you should knock him DOWN
''Nhy, said he, you all knew, and so did
that was rogue, or liar, or rascal but

and could not stand that" In person, he
