AFRIcA-Yesterday was a busy gala day
among the colored is6orers st Fort Pickering

They look hale ard hearty and contsnted.

have sufficient force of negroes always at

leaving and arriving $3.50 -

army in the foot. The Major was placed in
carriage by the aid Of his friends and conveyed

Ar THE LANDlSG.-Ye Yesterday presented a
lively scene at the isnding As several boats
loaded with soldiers left the wharf, cheer after
cheer told how happy the men were at the
prospect before them. A soldiers life has its
pleasant episodes and cherished memories
REcoRDERs CoUEr-lt ~saId seem that
quiet is about universal in the eity when only
two or three cases-snd they Of trivial char
ter-were tried in the Recorders tribunal yes
terday. What remarkable contrast between
the existing reign Of Federal authority and
that Of the despised rule of Jefferson the First,
the Alpha and Omega of the "Southern Con-
federacyw
VIoLENCE.-A man must be guilty Of
most henous crime if civil officers are justified
in asing violent means in arrestng him. We
ATE informed that on Jefferson street near the
bayou, last evening, two or three policemen
ing upon his person some severe blows, and
then dragged HIM off Officers should ever
be strict but never cruel.
SPHERICAL ITEM.--It was said BY an Old
NEUROLOGICAL toper, that while champagne is
the drink of gentleman, egg-nog is the nee
tar of the immortals. Il may be said with
certainly as much truth, that while chess is the
game of the prosy, billiards is that of the wise,
bestowing health, exercise, and pleasant reere-
alton to mind and body. The best place to
play tie game is certainly at the spacious HI
Dorado, corner Of jefferson and Second, where
cues and tables are supervised by the skillful
eye Of Fred Meyer himself.
WATKINS VS.. WATKINs.- "a man bearing
the name of George w. Watkins having sworn
out warrant against d. Marsh and Kate

Z q. Dickinson, when it appeared that the

Geo. w, Watkins, and said Watkins being the
only witness against Kate the case was dis.
missed on the ground that husband cannot
give testimony against his wife.

fresh perfumery, fancy and toilet articles to-
gether with an enlarged assortment of all the
