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.

Hal Road Meeting.
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

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

Resored, 'T'hat the citizens of Sumter still

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. Vanr Buron anid their
friends, evidenitly from personal 'onrsidera
tiops, are awarkenitng thre at tenition of the
slaveholding states to their apiostacies, andi~
tire biallot bioxes are givinig tire trute evidetice
of popular feelinig. Theln South and West otn
constitutiontal rights are consolidating and~ n ill
present, we0 trust, a front in thre next Con-.
gress which will arrest the progress of aboli
tion and cheeck legislatiotn on assrumed powers.
We could have wvised that thre results of thre

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. Maj. Gen. Twwcms lts been
assigned the command of the Government
forces.

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

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
