Aearuey CITY.

We visited this thriving place q few
days since, and was pleased to see the
continued progress ir that enterprising
place. We were kindly welcomed and
entertained..by cur old friends Mr.. Young
and Dr.. Henry, who are really making
valuable and useful improvements, and
seemed doing a good business, not only
in the line of trade, but in the way Of en-
tertaining the travelling public. The
light stocks of goods showed unmistaka-
bly, for their winter trade. New supplies
were just incoming, and as there are six
or eight stores the supplies will be album
dant and competition sufficient to bring
prices to. the lowest point. We wish our
neighbors up the way every success and
would modcstly suggest to n few, who
do not seem to know the fact, that large
fortunes are often made by advertising
literally and doing business in a straight
forward manner. Emigrants, see adver-

The damage inflicted upon the rebels by the
recent fire Of Fort Pickens was immense, and
OF such nature that they would find it im-
possible tO repair it. Tybee Island, at the
mouth of the Savannah River, had been per-
manently occupied by the National forces,
one thousand strong, and when the proper
time arrived, operations against; Fort Pulaski
would bccommenced, unless the rebels saved
the trouble by evacuating it. Another expe.

The capture of Slidell and Mr.. Eustise calls
to mind all incident that occurred in Washing
ton few years ago, in which Mr.. Slidell was
suddenly and most unexpectedly rebukcd by
d brave and gallant gentleman. '"5 . 'o'4
Z A young gentleman attached to the Spanish
legation was smitten with the charms Of the
fair daughter Of Mr. Corcoran, and though in-
formed by the father and BY Others, that his
attentions were neither wanted nor pleasing,
he persevered most assduously in pressing his
suit. One evening, when the father was ab-
sent, he gained admittance to the house, and
while holding hurried interview with the
lady, or perhaps Hhile waiting for such an in
terview, he was surprised by Mr. Corcoran. - -
Slidell lived in the adjoining house, and some
other gentleman who happened to be present,
were called in, and much indignation against
the little attache was expressed. Finally it
was determined to lay the whole matter before
Old Buck, and have that venerable function
ary dismiss the attache, OF refuse to acknowl-
edge him as part Of the Spanish legation.
In due time the matter was discussed over
the Presidential Mahogany, and while the ex-
scutiyc Monongahela circulated, the inpn-
dence Of the young Spaniard was freely de-
nounccd. But the intention of the Corcoran
and Slidell circle toward the Spaniard got wind
and a brave and gallant gentleman undertook
to see that the poor gentleman had fair shoy,
before Mr. Buchanan laid his official hand up
on him. "A day and an hoar were appointed
and Slidell, furious because the President had
hcsitated to do what he had asked, stormed
and rayed about the executive hall. He de-
