DAvIs-CREswELL CosrRovERsY.-
We surrender a considerable portion Of
space on our FIRST page to the rejoin-
der of Gen. Creswcll to the letter of
Hon. Jefferson Davis, addressed TO
VIM. +. Perry, Esqr., of this county and
lately published in our columns. Both
the letter Of Dir. Davis and the rejoin-
. der OF Gen. Creswell are marked BY
courteous and dispassionate bearings
andrefect credit upon the temper and
fairness of both gentlemen. On the part
of neither has there been any attempt
to substitute clap-trap for argument or
mere partisan inference for facts. The
@sharp issue" is, however, not merely
whether Mr.. Davis made a speech at
Stevenson, but whether he also made
such a speech as Mr. Creswell charges
him with having made. The historical
authorities of Mr.. Creswell on this point
are numerous, explicit and sufficiently
respectable to exculpate him from any
charge of intentional misrepresentation.
He tells the tale as it was told to him,
but it is evident from his citations, that
the whole story ofthis Stevenson speech
business rests upon the single authori-
ty of the Omaha Bee man, and that
Greeley quotes at second-h and that
Tossing, Draper and the American Cy-
e'opedia merely quote Greeley or one
another, and that all rest for their au-
thority upon some such dispatch as the
Bee man says he transmitted by tele-
graph to the Nashville press" The is
sue, therefore. is narrowed down to Da-
Wis and the Bee and in that condition
we leave it, promising that the Bee man
clearly exposes himself in his testimony
rs a partisan as well as an enemy to
Davis.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor BY a casual invitation,
your correspondent attended the exam
ination of the pupils of School No. 6,
under the guidance of Jos. W. Colds
borough, its competent and efficient pre-
ceptor. The examination was conduc-
ted by Mr.. Tippett, our worthy Exam
liner. Miss Nellie Greenwich and Jno. F.
Duke. Esqr., and embraced Orthogra-
ply, Reading, Arithmetic, Geography
and English Grammar. The questions
on each branch, although thorough and
searching, were answered with ease and
readiness, and brought smiles of JOY
from each and every observer. Ian
guage is inadequate 10 express the real
ly meritorious manner in which the
children acquitted themselves during
the examination. Surely there never
was a school so pleasant as this, from
which the aspect of dullness, WEAKNESS,
restraint and irksomeness was SO CON-
pletely banished. 1t is a spacious, airy
apartment, lighted with many windows,
shaded at little distance by majestic
oaks, through which the burning rays
of the July sun cannot penetrate. When
our worthy Examiner entered, the quiet
light Of joy dawned in every child's
face, and several of them came forward
to welcome him with saucy pleasure
He had a merry jest or loving word
for each affectionate child. After the
examination was concluded, our worthy
Examiner impressed upon the minds Of
the children the Importance of an edu-
cation, and this boon once obtained and
virtuously applied, would procure for
them credit and consequence in every
station Of life.

Gray, Captain, took fire on Monday
morning last during the absence of the
crew on shore and was so badly dam
aged that she subsequently sank and
had to be abandoned. Four hogsheads
of tobacco, belonging to John S. Raley,
of Patuxent district, were destroyed,
as were also several cords of wood and
the personal effects of the Captain. 1t
is not certainly known how the fire orr
einated, but it is supposed, that it
caught from a coal dropped from the
Captains pipe on the deck few min

A. BIG NUGGET.
A Claim that Couldn't be Worked
ON Shares,

When California was first settled,
the metal was frequently found in
nuggets. These were usually called
Jumps" by the miners, and when
ever one was found the lucky mans
name was soon made known, and
numbers of less fortunate ones would
hasten to his shanty, either to con-
graduate him and get sight of the
nugget, or endeavor to get him to sell
a part Of his claim, or to offer work
it on shares.
A miler, who with his wife had
long been located in the regions, and
not being very successful, was one
day presented by his wife with a
bouncing baby, weighing twelve
pounds. Some mischievous fellows
started the story that Jim Marsden
had taken out a twelve-pound lump.
This intelligence, which was circu-
lated about two weeks after the event,
caused great excitement, for many
believed the story; and two stran-
gers called at Marsden's house-one
for the double purpose of seeing the
lump, and in hopes of efecting a
bargain with Marsden. They reached
the house, but Mrs. Marsden only
was at home, when the following
dialogue took place:
"We were told that your husband
took out twelve-pound lump"
"You were correctly informed"
replied she, seeing that the gentle
men were quite sincere, having been
deceived by the story circulated, and
she being fond of good joke, did
not undeceive them.
"Is he working the claim alone9"
was the next question.
Eyes, save what little help he gets
from me-" replied she, slightly bush
ing.
"Ah! then the spot is not far from
here2"
It is quite near" was the reply
"Can we see it2" asked the stran-
gers, eagerly.
"Oh, no; Icouldn't think of show
ing it to you," was the reply.
Then it is secret place,
MADAME"
"Quite private, 1 assure you, gen
tlemen."
"How long has he been digging in
It'll"
"Almost year."
Had any one been digging there
before him2"
No, indeed" answered the lady,
with a violent blush.
"Do you think he would sell part
of the claim2"
II am quite sure he would not"
was the quick reply.
"Nor work it on shares, MADAME"
"No, sir"
"Has he the lump still9"
eyes, SIR"
"Can we see it?"
Certainly; here it is" said she,
uncovering the babe.
"Sold, by thunder" cried they, as
they both rushed out of the house.
