A NEST OF VERITABLE BLACKLEas .loUTEd.
The wharf Mt the foot of Hasel-sireet has long
been the rendezvous Of number Of colored
gamblers who piled their calling in the open
air unmindful Of tho powers that TO. This un-
awful gathering has been nuisance to the
neighborhood, and yesterday raid was made
upon the gang by o portion OF the detective
and police forces, which resulted in the cap
ture of eleven of the gay CHANDELIERS. They
were coolly shuflng their cards, not expect
ing any intrusion,
''when the police came down like the wolf on the
fold
Their cohorts all cleaning with blue and with gold"
Every avenue had been guarded, and when the
alarm was given the beseged saw that escape
was cut of, that clubs were trumps, and calmly
laid down their pictures. Some of the more
adventurous spir.ts took to the marsh, but
found that mode OF exit impracticable, and
we're also numbered among the captured. They
were marched to the guardhouse, and assigned
quarters which were moro close than comfort
able. The news of the capture was no sooner
noised abroad than it created great consterna-
ton among the colored fraternity. There was
gathering of the clans around tho portals OF
the guardhouse, and q weeping and wailing
among many of the colorcd Rachels who refus-
ed to be comtorted. The gang which was
broken up was composed of young colored men,
between twenty and thirty years of age, who
have long been undcr the surveillance of the
police They are charged with gambling and
vagrancy.

night Of the Sd instant, several prisoners sm-
cseded in eHecting their escape from Charles
ton jail. Among sfte number we're a white
man named Wall sni; two co1ored men, who
were confined under: charge OF murder. These
leisfors their homes in Gilisouville, and the
sheriff OF Colleton was telegraphed. mmedi-
stsly 10 look out for them. Two Of the United
States detectives we're also sent down to Gilii-
sonville, and on last Wednesday the Sheriff
organized posse and went in search OF Wall
and the other escaped prisoners. They
were tracked to Wallis house, and the
posse surrounded it, for the purpose OF
preventing their escape. Wall had, how
ever, succeeded in obtaining some inkling
OF the pursuit, and the inmates ran from
the house toward the swamp. The SheriH's
posse endeavored to oveitake them, when one
Of the posse, colored nan, who had been en-
trusted with gun, fred at the prisoners, but
mistook the Sheriff, who vas somewhat in adj
ysnce;; for Wan, and the former functionary re-
ceivsd q full load OF buckshot, infictiug se-
we're but not dangercuslwound. The prisoners
made no determined resistance, but were soon
resrrastsd and taken to; jsil. The shooting of
the Sheriff was represented as entirely scciden-
tai, the posse being thrown into some ,confu-
sion by thsBrddsn escape of Wall and his con-
frsses From the house.

COMMERCIAL HONOR.

An exchange in copying the following article,
says: eff all laws for the collection of debt were
abolished, we believe it would be vastly better for
the commerce of the world Only men of Chris
tan honor and integrity could then obtain credit,
litigation would be diminished and financial crises
would be unknown. The Watchman and Reflector
has the following, bearing upon this subject:
1.-TWO centuries ago, it was thought an insult in
the Highlands of Scotland, to ask note from a
debtor. It was considered the same as saying, 81
doubt your honor" If the parties had small bu-
siness matters to transact together, they stepped
out into the open air, fixed their eyes upon the
heavens, and each repeated his obligation with no
mortal witness. A mark was then carved in some
rock or tree near by, to be remembrancer of the
compact. Such thing as a breach of contract,
we are told was then very rarely met with, so high
ly did the people regard their honor, and so truly
did they fear Him beneath whose eye they had
performed such acts.
When the march of improvement brought in the
new mode of doing business, they were often pain
ed with these innovations. An anecdotes handed
down of farmer who had been to the Lowlands
and learned worldly wisdom. On returning to his
native parish, he had need of sum of money and
made bold to ask loan of a gentleman of means,
named Stewart This was cheerfuly granted, Mr..
Stewart counting out the gold on his library table.
This done, the farmer took a pen and wrote a re.
ceipt; and offered it to the gentleman.
"What is this, MANI" cried Mr.. Stewart, stern.
ly cycling the slip Of paper.
"It is receipt, sir, binding me to give ye back
yer gold at the right time" replied Sandy.
Binding ye? We'll, my man, if ye Gamma trust
ysself I'm sure I'll ma trust vel Ye Gamma ha
my gold and gathering it up, he put it back II
his desk and turned his key on it.
"But sir, I might die," replied the cam,
Scotchman, bringing up an argument in favor o
his new wisdom, ''and my sons might refuse it II
(ye. But this bit O paper wad compel them"
"Con,pelthemto sustain dead fathers honor 7
cried the hgh-minded Scotchman. 'They'u nesE

ground, and rubs his head and face on the earth,
in his efforts to get free By sodoing he only adds
fresh birdlime to his head, body and limbs, agglu-
tinates his sleek fur together in unsightly tnfts
and finishes by hoodwinking himself 50 thoroughly
with leaves and birdlime, that he hes foundering
on the ground, tearing up the earth with his claws
uttering howls of rage and dismay, and exhausted
by the impotent struggles in which he had been so
long engaged These cries are signal to the au-
thors Of his mischief, who run to the spot armed
with guns, bows and spears, and find no difficulty
in despatching their blind and wearied foe. ~.
