ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL VlCToRY.-An amusing
| incident occurred Thursday at Rochester, where,
as at every other station along the line large
crowd had assembled to meet and welcome the Pre-
sidnt elect Mr.. Lincoln having stepped out on the
platform, amidst the enthusiastic gree ings and plau
dts which rose from the assembled multitude,
heard this boastful assertion made by certain we'll
grown individual near the platform:
"Abraham guess can lick salt off your head
anyhow! ~
"Can you, friend? Come up, then, and let's
see."
With a spring and bound the tall rival of our
tall President accepted the invitation and was on
the platform beside Mr.. Lincoln in a moment
Then the two stood back to back before all the
crowd but the trial brought instant disparage-
ment to the tall pretensions of the boastful ind-
vidual who had first thrown down the guantlet.
Mr. Lincoln, however, with ready good humor
faced round to his rival and said: "Do You call
that the way to back up your friends? ?''
And so this somewhat outre incident ended IN as
general burst OF merriment and satisfaction as if
both performers and spectators had known it was
part of the programme; and the reporters say tha;
the President bore the honor ofths victory also with
his accustomed equanimity !-Pittsburg Gazette. .

INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS AND CAPITALISTS. We
learn that project is on foot among several enter
prising merchants and capitalists to charter one or

to Liverpool and other foreign ports, to bring back
full cargoes of merchandise, and sell it at the
lowest price, so as to establish our commercial
independence at once. Such step deserves success
and we firmly believe, if carried through, will not
only amply reward the parties, but will be of the
greatest Importance to city and country. The
country merchants and merchants from the interior
of Georgia, Alabama and Florida would certainly
give the preference to Charleston, by our making
known our ability to supply their ants at as cheap
rate as they have been in the habit of purchasing
elsewhere. The suggestion is eminenty worthy of
