The First Paper We take from the Charleston Courier the following account of the first newspaper enterprise undertaken in the Colony ofSoutli Carolina. In the year 1730, three printers arrived in Charleston '?induced thereto by an encourage muni hulri nut kr tho Aocnril.lv nf tK? Prnvirii>o or by the Governor in Council. These printers were Thomas Whitmarsh, Eleazer Phillips, Eleazer Philips Jr. We have indications that at least one press was put to work, during the year 1730 or early in the etisuingyear from tbepublition of several pamphlets, and front references contained in the South Carolina Gazette the first numlrer of which appeared on the 8th Jan., 1732, under direction of the printer first named above. The first number was issued from sign of the Table Clock on the Bay," where we are iiifnrinekadvertisements would "be taken in and persons be supplied with the Gazette at ?3 a year." Gentlemen in town were requested to send for their papers every Saturday In 3 o'clock; papers for the country subscribers would he kept at the office. The second hum her beats imprint from the house ot Huah Evans, near the Secretary's office, on Chuichstreet at which place the Gazette was soon after located and continued for some lime. Eleazer Philips, Jr. died early in July, 1732, and we find his father nearly two years after, advertising in the Gazette for a setllement ol all debts due himself or the estate of his son, tor news, printing. &c?Special mention is made of subscriptions due the deceased son for six months' ol the. South Carolina Weekly Journal?a name with does hot appear in atiy of our earlier records of the press, and of which we have found no other trace. Was there such :< m-wspaper published by Pliilli|?s during the first six months of 1732? If so, it was con temporary with the Gazette, which has been commonly repaided as not only first in time, but for many years the only newspaper issue of the city or province. The fact of three printers arriving nearly at the same time, lends additional probability to tho supposition to which we are induced on the authority of the advertisement. A Gkbek Rohin Hoon. -TheFrench papers have the following romantic uccount of the manner in which that vicinity of Adrianople has been rid of some troublesome robbers. The house of a widow residing there was entered and robbed of valubles amounting to seven thousand piastres, her only wealth, by seven men, who said they were members of the band of Yani, a celebrated chief, who has gained great renown in those parts and the poor woman used his name in making her complaint. This personage is asortof Fra Diavolo who seems to have modeled himself after the brigand heroes of | rymi?ii??. -Ih? is a Bulgarin by birth and robs no one hut rich Turk-, whom he hates, and has been known frequently to give the proceeds of such an expedition to any poor person he might meet. Hegoes and comes in the villages where he is well received and treated like a lord. It must be said that the rustic police are not much protection, for they are too often connected with the band themselves. This M. Yani goes through i j; ?| I l&e n.tntry roDDing me ncn, ueinenaiug me poor, protecting the widow and orphan, and even watching over the magistrates to see that justice is meted to the rich and poor alike. "Now, Yatii, learned that he had been implicated in the robbery, and fully equipped' paid the lady a visit. Trembling, the poor woman begged hiin t leave her the little that remained. "But I have never taken anything from you," said the brigand. "Are you no' then Yatii?"said she. "I am most certainly Yani, and I come to obtain the description of those who have abused my name and robbed you. A Krf.n Rrtort.? Some time ago Lewis T.'imm11 of Ohio, (a notorious abolitionist,) had " "ri i -- ? ? ^ the assurance to address a letter to Gen. John II. Cocke, of this State, urging him and his son-in !?* to emancipate one thousand slaves whom Tappaii alleges these gentlemen hold in hondage. This lei tor was published in I he New York Tribune, and copied into many other pipers. 'l'o this impudent letter Mr. Philip St. George Cocke replies in the Whig of Monday. His repl? is hi iif?hut it is a crusher. After quoting Tnppau's let rer, he says: 'Now, sir, as it is well understood?at least in the community in which I live?thai I am the person alluded t'? hy you, under the de .!? ! iion ,.f the 'son iii law' of Gen.

The London correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer, under date of September II, writes as follows: ''This time there is no hoax. Sebastopol it fallen indeed. In England the elnrinu* tidings are not so nine h circulated as diffused; the air <9 full of rejoicings; you pass a man in the street and us? lnaitiinra *?? r*t\ folln iiaii n o rvitk.u o a .? kan/tnrl ijio ucauiiug iucc iruo j-uu/ia iijuv.ii 03 a nouuiu edition full of despatches; if you were deaf und could nut hear t he bells or the cannon or dumb and c >u!d not ask the meaning of 1 he eiithusiatie gatherings ?t every street corner, if you could not read a word front the placards staring at you from every wall and window,you could not help knowing that Sehastopol is fallen. Indeed the press, the telegraph, the railway, are quite unequal to the occasion ; the Times cannot be bought for a shilling second hand; the police have to guard the newspaper offices from the PMiri-r c nwrls ilmi ht*>ie./e them: so the mind # ? y C* ews has to >pie.id in the old primitive way. and tlit- second editions coin- punting .liter.? Everybody i.* mi tiptoe; the News isn't so far wrong in saving that "University England get* tellidrunk;" the very boors look intelligent and animated; the veriest dotard seems to half appreciate the extraordinary occasion. The tmih is that England feels as ii her day of rejoicing had come; and she rejoices without stint or measure. The tale of the victory is soon told. On Wednesday, the 5th, at day break, the fourth bombardment, and by far the fiercest, the be>t planned and the most effective, was opened against Sebastopol. Prince Gortschakoffsays the fire was "fiercely violent" and "infernal.'' It wa*. kept up incessantly until noon ot the 80), when the guu3 of the Mulakoff were silenced. A fourfold assault was then made simultaneously b) the French against the Malakoff the Redan of Careening Bay, and the Central Bastion, and by the English against the Great Redan. A I these assault we"e for the moment successful, but only the aiataKon coma no neiu. '1 he English succeeded in gaining possession of the salient angel cf the Redan, and the French took both the Bastion and the Little Redan, but these position were so commanded by the inner lines, from which the enemy kept up a murderous fire, that they could not be sustained. It is said that on the two lower tiers of the MalakofTthe French were sheltered from the enemy's fire in front, Hnd were thus enabled to make a more complete lodgment than ....... I.).% * l.A /moo flio mitra nynnflPtl w113 jm'omiilu 111 kui< vc19v vi viiv ?nvi v vjCentral Bastion and Redans. However, has all along been supposed, the MalakofF pioved the key to Seba6topol, and no sooner did the enemy see it in possesion ol'the allies than they began to destroy the fortifications, explode mines sink and l>urn their ships, betake themselves to their northern defences. On the night or Saturday, the 8 th instant, they evacuated the.sonth town leaving it in universal conflagration and ruin. Ol'the fleet nothing remains but three small steamers. In Gen. Simpson's first despatch, he Informed us that "the attack against the Redan did not succeed." Nothing was said of the cor responding failures of the French in their assault of the Central Bastion and Little Redan and nothing to explain nor palliate what bore the semblance of a defeail. As was very natural, this occasioned no little disappointment; it was rather a damper upon the jojMvitb which the victory was received that the English did not share the glory of the victory. Subsequent dispatches, especially those of the chivalrous Peliasier, have showed that equal bravery was exhibited, and equal glory earned, by each of j the assaulting parties: and, though there is still | a sort of wish that the English could have taken j a more brilliant and more demonstrative part I ill the final consummation, no one can say that any grudging or envy h observable amid the universal enthusiasm which accords to the French the chief laurels won on that eventual day. You will notice that only the southern part of the town is, us yet in the hands of the allies I the universal expression is that Sebastopul has fallen Perhaps in the moment of success we i * - I _ are again deluding ourselves as t<> tne oosiacies vet remaining t?> a complete possesion of the place. It is, however,.represented that the j uoith town cannot hold out long; that the forI tress, though strong are noflarge enough to j protect a numerous garrison, and that the alj lies will he able effectually to attaek them from the south town. Tlio Russian army .s aiso in a verv piecari<>us condition, and all the advantages ol' position, numbers, supplies,and morale are n<>w with the allies. The other side of all victories must succeed the bright side. As yet we only know in general that the casualties were very heavy.

Superiority op American Kulroad Iron*. American rails are decided now on the best authority, to be superior to English or Welsh of the same price. The latter shell off and wear out sooner than the Anirricun, and the superiority of the American is said to be owing to the fact that in the process ot rolling the rails are reheated, while the foreign rails are completed with one heating.

Some come here to contemplate, to reverie, and to write; others to grasp a -chance in the lottery of life; while others are hero to admire and be admired.

Then she rolls ten-pins for an hour, in yf order to give her self color; then returns home to dress for dinner, two nours are generally taken for this; at the sound of the hell or the gong, she sails In her dry goods into the dining hall. The greater the expense of dress, the greater the style, tho farther it drags behind,.the more you must admire her taste. Whea> ? she is seated she casts Hei eyes up and down the table to see the effect she has produced, then calmly prepares to do justice to the mate' rials before her. Fashionable belles are always fine epicures; they can instantly detect the difference between a tame or a wild duck. One hour and a half is spent in dinner, and then for a promenade and an arrangement into couples.

Tenpenny calicos cannot pass muster a a silks, and imitation lace must be put down. You must run the gauntlet and every flaw will gape and spread itself, and become large in your own eyes. If you have been discovered sitting in a corner with a companion, especially if you have been whispering low, you will be surely pointed at. Tho belles?Saratoga belles rule?here, and you must submit to custom without complaint. The belle now takes her tea, and then she enter* the ball room, and between flirtation and dancing, she passes through the day and evening. This is the routine of life, admirably adapted to dpspeptic constitutions. ? ^ a \ (iEN'TLH fiEDCKE.? ?HlUOUl wixuiu? muv ; roally imp?"lite, there arc ninny persons, who i f" a ring to appear forward suffer the moment for i doing little civilities to pass by until their re* missness is signally rebuked by some prompt j bystander.
