BOGUS LoTTERIEs.-The country is flooded st
present with these enterprises, and many persons
who are induced to invest in them, find, to their
sorrow, that they are airy nothings and exist only
on paper. Flaming circulars are issued setting
forth the advantages to be gained by purchasing a
ticket in these lotteries as the prizes ar out-nu-
Der the blanks, and in some cases the holders Of
each ticket are promised small amount on their
investment.
The plan usually pursued by these lottery agents
as to send circulars enclosing tickets which are GER
tain to draw prizes andthey ask the recipients to
mention their good luck, and SO induce others to
invest During the war, these bogus lotteries
were established in various parts of the country
ana by appealing to the speculative spirit Of the
1nes proved, IN most instances, paging successes.
unfortunately 1t was found so easy to dupe man
kand, that the propretors hnve continued their vo-
cat1on' and though the ticket sales are perhaps
not 80 numerous as formerly, yet there are many
VINO are 1oohsh enough to try their luck and waste
their money on worthless piece Of paner.
1t has been found impossible to suppress these
associations, as they generally continue to keep
beyond the reach Of the law, and their victims
have no redress, but have to bear their losses with
fortitude. Several parties in this city have xecent
ly been'bit by purchasing THESE tickets, and when
they have drawn prize they coolly told by let
ter that if they send on an additional sum the
whole amount drawn might probably be secured
for them. @ n
The rascality Of such transactions is evident
and there appears to be no means OF detecting the
principals. Occasionally q raid is made upon some
OF tnese lottery agencies by the Northern police
Out beyond few chairs and an old table, nothing
can can % discovered to inplicate the parties. @ ss
IL mas been noticed that when lotteries are legal
~ authorazed institutions, and subject to the lawn
OF the State, there is less chance for the bogus
concerns to flourish. The Havana Lottery has
paid large revenue to the government since ii
was established, and the Same good result vii III:
Low State company. Man viii always endeayoo1
to make money BY the fastest means possible. and
it is useless to restrict the circulation Of lotery
tickets; they wil be bought, and legalized lottg

CHaNoNs.-The inhabitants Of our sister CITY OF
Augusta are rejoicing in the exhibition Of child
born with natural waterfall. We presume that
this iuszls nature viii be considered by the
fashlonables Of Augusta as proof conclusive that
waterfalls are recognized institutions, and will
effectually put end to the controversy about
gregarines. The ladies can now wear their water
falls with impunity, and sport larger, longer,
higher, and more imposing head dresses than be-
fore this discovery was made. Chignons have at
length been recognized as a natural production,
and whatever future discoveries the German
savants may make, their theories will be at once
exploded by pointing triumphantly to this Georgia
waterfall This freak Of nature must be peculiarly
gratifying to the fair wearers Of chignons, not
only in Augusta, but in Charleston and wherever
waterfalls abound. Georgia has proved herself to
be the Empire State, and has added to her laurels
by this production; but we hope that South Caro-
lima viii not long be without a similar well
authenticated genuine chignon, and if we are un-
able to equal sister State, the Georgians win
have to bring the curiosity across the Line, and by
exhibiting it in this city satisfy all cavillers that
waterfalls are natural productions, and not to be
discarded because Of pretended microscopic dis
coveries 1t

HORSE PowER. It is a curious fact that the ca
paclty Of steam engines has always bean deternin-
ed by comparing them with the strength of the
horse. This has been principally because this
animal was long the only motive power that man
possessed, and his qualities, capacities, &C., sere
so well known that even when science had devei-
oped in steam a new and more powerful element,
it was customary to compare it to that which hac
been discarded. Steam once introduced, was soon
applied to all labor-saving machines and the horse
and his co-laborers, the mule ard OK were allowed
to retire to private fe except in few localities
where their labor was still turned to some account
In this city there some places where this pow
er is used still to propel machinery. On Atlantic
Wharf there is small mill, at the wood yard OF
Messrs. KING & VENNNa, worked by horse that
cuts the fire wood into the required lengths with
far greater ease than the labored efforts of
farmer. The horse is confined in narrow box or
stall, the floor Of which is on movable rollers and
the slope causing the horse to be continually step
ping forward on the same principal as tread mill.
a band connects the saw with this platform, and
the motion once impaired, the horse keeps on his
weary round until the breaks are again applied,

FAILURE OF THE MAu--This event occurs with
most disasreeable regularity, and is now consid-
cred inevitable and unavoidable. Tho fault is on
the Northern roads, for no papers were received
last night beyond Wilmington; and the Southern

Our news matter suffers by these failures, but it is
calamity that is common to ALL and our readers
will cen have to make the best of it. &

The Russ1AN-AarER1cAN TELEGRAPH, we re-
gret to see frcm our Northern exchanges has
been abandoned. 1t was one of the greatest pro-
jects ever under taken, and found general favor
because Of It's aovelty, difficulty and magnitude
It aimed to connect the old Continent and the new
by an overland route, having only the small dis
tance at Behring's Straits to span with subma-
rine wire. The reason Of its abandonment, it is
stated, is the great of the Atlantic Cable
As speculation therefore, it is abandoned, be-
cause likely not to pay; but the company urge
upon Russia and the United States tho Importance
ofhaying such line Of communication, and sug-
gests that the two Governments ought to take the
line in hand and carry it through.

eral riotous conduct will probably be severely pun
ished.

CHINA BR1An-This is one Of our Southern plants
that is to be found in nearly every Forest cling
ing to the trees and ofen presenting an impossible
barrier to the traveller. It is parasite, usually
seen IN low, swampy places, where the vines grow
luxuriantly, often covering, and sometimes killing,
the trees to which they cling. This plant has never
been considered of any use, and was killed when
ever it obtruded itself upon cultivated spot of
land; but though 80 generally oesp,sed, the emma
Briar is not without few redoeming points. The
tender shoots it puts forth in the early spring are
eagerly sought for by the market women, and
when put up in small bundles command ready
sale In fact, they approximate asparagus, and
are considered BY many to be superior to that
plant. AS the China R.iar grows wild, an excel
lent dish can be obtained by any one who viii
take the trouble to Gull the shoots, or will brave
the thorns in the attempt. Those who have
neither the time nor the desire for such adyen-
lures, will be pleased to learn that it can be bought
at any Of the vegetable stalls in the market, and
II they have never tasted it, they should try the
experiment while the shoots are young and tender
