Christ; but it might be carried up 1,200 years earlier than that time, because Josias destroyed the chariots of the Sun, A. M. 3302. It also appears that these ceremonies were used by va rious nations in different countries, and have even been traced to York. It has been shown with what eagerness the Doman people pursued these amuse tuients, and so closely have the English followed the practice of the Romans in that respect, that, taking the evidence of the scriptures found at York into con thieration, there is little doubt that it Was there that horse racing was first in troduced into England in the celebra. tion of the Mitraic festivities. The meagre accounts that have descended to us of the transactions of the Romans in Britain afford us no means of describ ing these sports; indeed during the 500 years that the Romans held possession of the Island from the landing of Julius Caesar, B. C. 55, to the time they quit ted it A. D. 446 no notice is taken of British affairs for the space of 817 years of that time. Hence it is not surpris ing, when we are unacquainted with transactions of importance, that we should be left in ignorance of the amuse ments of the Romans in England. After the Romans quitted Britain, a succession of invasions, and of cruel and intestine wars occupied the time and thoughts of the people so fully that they had little time to think of horse-racing; and though the disputes betwixt the 'houses of York and Lancaster, ended 'in Henry VIII, yet we find no attempt to revive these diversions until the reign James I, when we find horse-races at Croydon in the South, and at Gatherley common, a little North of Richmond in Yorkshire, but how long they had been held there previously. we are not in formed. Edward Lord Herbert, of Cherbury (who died in 1648, seemed to think these sports unworthy of a man of hon our, 'for in running horses there is much cheating, neither do I delight why a brave man should deliuht in a creature whose chief use is to help him to run away.' Lord Ierbert forgot that a horse is as necessary for pursuit as it is for flight, so that his argument is like a two-edged sword-it cuts equally on both sides. Gervase Markham, who wrote on the management of horses A. D. 1579, mentions running horses, but these were only designed for matches between one gentleman and another. The diversions, however, was so much es teemed that subscriptions were at last made towards purchasing a piece of plate, or making a purse, as a prize to the winning horse. 'The English,' says Pennant, 'were always attentive to an exact culture of the horses, by introducing horses from different countries, and by crossing the breeds, obtaining horses possessing all the g)Od (jilalities of their progonitors. Roger de Belesne, created Earl of sal ishury by Wiliam the Conqueror, is the first upon record who introduced a Spanish stallion into his estate in Pow island, from which that part of Wales was celebrated for a swift and generous breed of horses. Giraldus Cambrensis, who lived in the reign of Ihenry II., takes notice of' it; and Dravton, the poet, a contempljorary of Slhaks pere , smngs the excellence of the breed, in the sixth part of Poly Olbion. From this wace sprang, to speak the language of the times, 'the flower of coursers,' to the contests in the tilt yard, whose beauti ful form added grace to the rider-, aund whose activity and dererity obtained the palm in th~e field of r'omantic honor. The breeds for race hor-ses are deC scended from Persian and Arabian stal lions, which are given to mares to suit in bone, size and strength. Formerly, when gentlemen begin, amongst other feats of sporting, to try the fleetness of their horses against one another, they rode thiemselves without measuring the horses or weighing the burthens they had to carry. They also fell into the mistake of breeding their horses fine for the sake of speed only, without regard to strength, until the reign of Queen Anne, when a public spirited gentle tleman left thirteen hundred guineas annually for thirteen plates or purses, to be run at such places as the Crown should appoint; (whence they are called King's or Queen's Plates or Queen's Plates or Guineas,) upon condition that each horse, mare, or gelding, should carry twelve stone weight, the best of three heats over a four mile course. Tihis reguilation soon induces spor tsmen to raise a strong or more useful breed of horses, from whence, not only those mntended for racing, but for general pur poses, became so much improved that the English of horses soon attained a decided seperiority over those in every orher part of the world, and has con tinned to maintain that superiority to the present time---London Sunday Time. .4 Vgree hA Hungary,.-Ther Boston Train ic,rnpt spys tlpat a young Bostonian, whoi re #ijW# Ag thnat city less than two years ago. is al a l ieutengnt in the Hlungarian arinny, un.

On Wednesday last the people of Sumter came up nobly to the support of the Wiliniing ton and Manchester road. A large and high ly respectable mass meeting was held (through the courtesy of the Court of Ordina ry then setting) at the Court House. On motion, Col. J. .. AMooRE, was called to the chair and R.

IIA n LEE of Marion, who, though constrained to limit his address for want of time, laid before the assembled multitude a clear and energetic statement of the resour ces, availabilities and benefits of the Road and produced such a mass of statistical evidence, that, if there was one sceptic as to the whole enterprize, he would, most assuredly, have have been converted. But from the well known intelligence of this District we do not sincerely believed that there is a single indi vidual to be found, who is opposed to the Road. The following resolutions were then submit ted and adopted. Resored, 'T'hat the citizens of Sumter still feel a lively interest in the establishiment of the Wlriington :nd Manchester Rail Road, and look to its completion as the great work which is to facilitate Communication froi one ext reme of the Union to the other.

SPrITr of tire Charleston Press.--The MIavoralitv---Iutlltinson nde ifMiner. The Progress of Cholera. The dreadful ravages of the epidemic in St. Louis and Cincinnati, two cities most se riously visited, we are happy to state, have been arrested. In several cities on the great Lakes it has appeared with violence. It is rather on the decrease in Now York and very little of it is seen in the New England States thus far South Carolina has been much fa. vored, and New Orleans, once the seat of its devastation, is at present remarkably healthy. When the favorable season sets in and the disease shall have disappeared, when panic is abated and confidence restored, we shall know no more of Asiatic cholera, its origin and cure, than we have heretofore. The Medical Faculty know nothing of its origin, and have no decisive and uniform method of curing it; it batles skill and bids defiance to science. One thing, however, appears to be certain, local causes add to its extension, or check its virulence. After the great tire in St. Lou is, a large city without drainage, filled with the poorest ciss of immigrants, the whole atmosphere tainted and heated, its vio lence and destructive career were not sur prising. The drinking water, also, must have had a potent influence both in St Louis and Cincinnati. In Philadelphia, where the sanitory regulations are of the best character, it has beer but slightly felt, and considering the vast and mixed population of New Yoik it has been principally confined to the most destitute class, and what is the more remark able, confined to the upper or resident portion of the city and on the banks of the swift cur rent channel of the East river. At all events we are not without hope. that it is, by this titte, every whereon the decrease. The Presidesat's Tour. General TAY.ot left the seat of govern ment on the 9th, inst., for Pennsylvania, where he moet his friends in York, Pittsburg, I [arrisburg, etc and is to proceed to the East, returning to pass through the cities of New York and Philadelphia. That lie will be re ceived respectfully and sustained hospitably cannot be doubted. Respect for the distin. guished station which he holds, and gratitude for his eminent services (luring the Mexican War are passports to the kind consideration of the people. But Gen. Taylor will find it ditlicuilt to explain to them why he has chan ged his policy, and become President of the whig party when his solemn pledges to the people before the election induced many to vote for him on a guarantee of his pursuing a direct contrary course, and when, in fact, a contrary course would have strengthened his position and nmade his administration pop ular. That General Taylor's power and in fluence have been used to patch up the bat tered garments of the Whig Party in hopes that it may be endured and sustained is abun dantly evident, but the old General will soon find out that he has been used for objects whichi he did not originally contemplate, that lie has got into the hands of his enemies (the Corwin Me.ican's,) is very evident arid that he will soon find it necessary to extricate hiiself from this dilemma there can be no reasonable doubt. The Fall Elections. The confederacies at the North on free-soil antid against Southern institutions have at length aroused the South and Vest to the necessity of Union. The signs of tire recent electiotis, though not fully dmtonist rated, are yet pregimnit with mneanting. There have not been mianty changes in North Carolitna, but the wigs elected in that State are determin ed to vote with th de South ont all questtonts touching Southierti liights. Th'le chatnges itt Tlennessee have been decided, and the aboli tionists ini Kenttucky have miet with severe reverses. The extraordinary change of opini jont in Col. IBenton, Air.

A War in Florida. We are threatened with another Florida war. Five hundred war-riors from their set tlements near Tampa Bay, under BOWLEOS and SAM JoNES have been murdering the planters and U. S. Agents in their neighbor hood, and burning their property. It is said that they have been for some time preparing for these attacks, procuring their munitions of war from Nassau and the Indian Keys. Are we to have another Siminole war of seven years duration, another twenty millions expended, another Dade's massacre ! True Florida is a state increasing in numerical force, capable of defending itself against the attacks of the savages, but it is a state of great landed area, thimly and scatterdly set: tied and the vast prairies, jungles and ham mocks afford conveniences for a small maraud ing party of Indians to keep the field against a larger force, arising from the peculiarity of the mode of Indian warfare. It was sup posed that all lie Seminoles were removed, but it appears that the better disposed were allowed to retain their settlements near Tain pa and the southern extremity of the state Actual measures have been adopted to disperse them, but they seem to have friends and means in the neighborhood and are very obstinate and determined; very cunning and skillful they are when they do break ground. WhVlat the causes of this hostile spirit were we are not yet told. Fancied or real agrievances may have been the stimulants to arm, but we doubt mouch that they have any whereon to place reliance.

I think they would have had their unids somewhat changed on the subject of slavery. I never witnessed a more decent amk properly conduc ed marriage ceremony. There were about fifty well dressed negroes -men and women present. A bountiful supper had been provided by the master of the young couple, consisting of a well dressed shoat, cotee cake, &c., &c. The abundance was so great that a large portion of the viands were actually unconsumed by the party. I'here was .no dancing or music, as most of the negroes in the neighborhood aie chirch nernbers, and as good christians, I beliede, Is are to be limund among the same - number of whites any where.

August 14, 1819 . COL. BIOSSAl'S INVENTION. In a former notice of this new invention to pouud Rice, we protnised our readers a more minute description. We give it Lelow, in Col. Bossard's -! words. Ile has forwarded an application the proper Department for a patent, with all accessary drawings, and we trust he will-stic 'c-d in securing his right. It may not-be 'roperly called a newly invented machine, but it is a decided improvement upon-the old node of cleansing Rice. We have heard the orthl of Col. D's improvement, if hequceeds n1 procurmng a patent, variously estirnated by hose whlo have knowledge of such. matters, romni .40,000 to 8100),000. He conlidently asserts that with it two horses can do,.the. Ia bor of eight or ten wvith the old mode ofp pand ing. This certainly is a great saving of pow. er. Col. Bossalrd has one regularly- running, w'lih puractically illu~straltes his views pand tess is nnuprovement. This machine operates with a shalft efight squaires which is eighteenl inches in diameter. In every alternate square, there are iixed two ifters parallel to eachl other, placed; far noungh apart to pass up the extexior sides of he0 pestle. Thie lifters are just thirteed'inch-. s long, when measuired from the sdrfacp of he shaft outward, and in eaciL of the. other qua~res of the shaft, there is a single lifter of qual dunmensioni, placedl in a central pstion o the former ones. Pinions are placd on hie outer sides of the pestle, in horizont~ po. ition to t he centre of the shaft, at which point lhe parallel lifters are in the revoling of tbe hlaft to receive the plestle and bear it up while le single lifter entering a mortice in the entre of the pestle while it is. ascending re cives its weight at the iustant the parallel ifters are extricated from the pinions,-.and mishes the elevation required. 1The instant the pest le falls into the moirter, ay mn a second of time, the pinions are again aken by parallel lifters, and thus the process Scont inumed, producing four blows of the~pes.. le to eachl entire revolution of the shaft Th'Iree lifters are therefore empl'~'to. meh entire lift of the pestle; produigii, welvo litters in thle whole circumnference&of lhe shaft to each pestle.--amden Jou'r4a. 1linois . 8.
