Savannah is the Southern city from which the same correspondent who. scinis the following sketch Has often dated, but he has never fuVnishcd anything more graphic than thi.s capital incident iu the experience of the accomplished Preston.?1 Those who knew that splendid orator and gentleman can appreciate the scene. 0;u* correspondent fays: "Many of your readers remember the stately presence, the dignified hearing and imposing manner of Colonel William C. Preston, of South Carolina. It was when all these (|inlities were in their prime, and Preston represented his State m the Senate of tho United States, that busir \ss or pleasure Called him to the West, and to take passage down the Mississippi river, l.n those 'flush times' tho steamers swarmed with hoosiers, greenhorns and gamblers, the latter politely designated Sporting gentlemen,' the term 'gambler' 01* 'black leg' entailing on the speaker a pistol shot or a wipe from u bowie-knife. "The boat was 011 the ove of departure, and our Senator, standing on deck aud holding u small mahogany box, was observing with interest and pleasure tho busy scene on the wharf, when an individual, luxuriating in a rather ornate style of dress, approached him, and in subdued tones de . .r- nianded : <ll say, old feller, when are you agoing to commence?" "Commence what, sir," itskcd the astonished Senator. "Pshaw, none of that gruumon with me. The fact is, u few of us boys on board want a little, fun, and wo wou't pile it on too strong for you 5 so come and open at once." "Really; sir," replied Preston, "I ainto: tally at a loss to guess your meaning.? Open what?" "Open what? Why, the bank, of course! May-bo you think our pile isn't largo enough to make it an object. Hut we're not so poor as all that, anyhow !" The Senator meditated gloomily, but all was dark to him ; he was plunged in a sea uf doubt, and he had never met aliy prob uui, Iiug VTI/II u {niiitiuai UHUj so Jliirtl 10 solvo. "Perhaps/' broke in his pertinacious friend again, after a considerable pause, "perhaps you will say directly that you're not u sporting man." "I certiiinly am nothing of the kind, air," rejoined Pieston, rather angrily; "aud I eau't imagine what put such an idea into your head." "Not a sporting man9 Whcw-w 2 1 never heard of such a piece of impudence !
