Advices from Vera Cruz to the 10th inst. have been received at New.Orleans by steamer Portland. The Portland brought over about 350 - of the 18th.

The Alabama Battalion sailed on' the 9 th in the brigs or -schoonuers Heroine, Mopang and Massachusetts, for Mobile.

SELLING DRY - GOODS. -People generally think that it is a verA easy matter to stand- behind a counter and retail dry good*; but aiveek's experience in the business would convince the clev. erest'mari that it's much more difficult and laborious than the task bf Wrning a grindstone twelve hours. per diem." .Tlhe office of salesman embodies, in its duties. necessity for the shrewdifess or a politici an, the persuasion of'a lover, the politeness of a Chesterfield, the patience of a Joh, and the impudence of a pickpocket. There arc salesmen who make it a point never to lose a customer. Oneo of these gentlemen who is'in a store in Chaitham street, not long since, was called to showv to a very fastidious and rashionablo lady, wvho dropped in wvhile goingr to Stcwart's, some rich silk claking. Every article of the kind was exposed to her view-the whole store was ranisacked and nothing suited. The costly materiaul w~as stigma tized as trash; every thing waus common and not fit for a Iady. She "guessed she would go to Mr. Stewart's." rThe sales man pretended to be indignant. "Madam," said he, in a tone of injured innocence, "1 have a very beautiful and rare piece of goods-a case of wvhich I divided with Mr. Stewart, who is my brother-in-lawv, but it wvould be useless to show it to you. it is the only p'icoc left in the city." "Oh! allow me to see it," she asked in an anxious tone, and continued, "I had no intention of annoying you, or of disparug. ing the merits of your wvares." T1ho salesman, who was noi vwatched in breathiless silence by his fellowv clerks, proceeded as with much reluctance, andl wvith expressions of roar that it would be injured by getting tumbled, to display an ancient pier -f'vesling, which huad been, lying in t'9 ';ore for five years, and was consgiered unsalable. The lady examin ed and liked it much. Trhat was a piece ofrgoods worthy t ; be worn. Howi much wvas it a yard? "T wenty-t wo shillings." "Oh! that is very high." fod"Ther," exclaimed lhe, beginning to oditp,"I knewv you would say that." "Stay, stay! doent be in so great a hur ry!" she cried--"l'll give you twenty shillings." "Mudam, you insult me again.." "Cut nme ofr-yards, anud you can make u.p the Jdduction on nmi vel vet wh~ich, I require for trimmings," al. most enireatedl the fair shopper. Th'e salesman,,a fe-r-auh persuiaion, solud the lady the vestings, ihr which they had in vain sought to get five shillings per yard, at the p'rice iu icatedl. Th'le profits of the sale, on vesti g and velvet, aioun. ted to thiirty.three dollars, out of which the clerks were pe.rmitted to pay for a supper of oysters. The best of this brief tale of d ry goods is to be told. TIho lady had her cloak miade, and two of her frienda, de. lighted with it, bought the rest of the ve.. vet at the ac me jirico. Thlere a moral in tlsts anecdote, which we scave to be ditscovered by the inlgenuity of all our lady readers who cc. casionallIy go shopping.

TEMPERANCE CELEDRATION IN CHARLESTON. Circulars are out through the country, informing the public that those who do. sire to iattcndi the Temperance clebration oni the 4th of July can do so,. by paying only *2 each for their entire t ravel on the rail road, to and from the city, provided 000t)'Iall go; $3, if 400 shall go; and half the usual fare, jf a less number. A good'opportunity is thus presented 'o visit the city for a small sum. Such risitors are required, for the sum paid, to return on the 5th, or 0th perhaps, going down on the 3rd. The names of those desi rous of availing themselves of this or. rangement mdist be hunded in beforehand, in this pilace, to Messrs. WVunE & Co., where further information can be obtain. ed. STRUCK BY LJOHTNING. Wearc informed that, on the morning of the 21st inst., a negro man, the proper ty of Mr. Win. Sanders of this District, while leaving one of' his master's fields, was struck by lightising in the back of the iicek and killed immediately. His body appeared to be terribly burnt. A negro wvoman, distant a few feet at the time of the accident, was stunned and knocked down by the same stroke; and some negro children, at no great distance, were stemned at tihe sorne time. 'T'he woman did not recover for sorme ho~u rs. Our informant mentioned that the light. ning had been known to strike in the same spot, which it then struck, several times during the past few years, which gives rise to the supposition that there is at that place probably a lied of iron ore, a sufli cieat causo fortho attraction of lightning.
