Some six months since, his tship appeared suddenly before a egro of Mr. John L. Smith, whilst 6 shing. Though quite alarmed our ra stood his ground, especially as iheoteek was lazily flowing between fitem. Not so however with our feline friend, who walked resolutely in front of his cuemy, grinned as if with the intention of intimidating him, and then with the greatest delibera tion, commenced passing the Rub icon. A yell or tjwo of the negro brought his dog. to-his side, wlho rushed nobly to the resede, and whilst this rear guard ' ur *jbusily employed witlh wild Grim Alkin, the African force rapidly fell back upon the reserve (the planta tion of his owner.) A hunt or two was now instituted but without suc -cess, and finally all thoughts of the affair ceased. The cat however was not yet satisfied, and about a month sinee whilst Chris. C.

The Yankee had accomplished the purpose, and taken his ride on Peter's horse, but the most diflicult part of his enterprise was still before him, viz: td escape from the horse without fulling into the hands of the guard, who are constantly stationed arouni the statute f)r its protection; and here our captain sig nally failed. lie was arrested in his descent from the loftly seat, and f'ound that there was, in every deed, but a step between the sublime and the ridiculous, as lie was led away from Peter's statute to the prison. lie was tried, convicted, and lined *0000 for his folly. By the interposition of the Anieriean Minister, the fine was slightly reduced, and was then paid by the captain's consignees, and lie was released from prison- after only a few days' confinement. When the cap. tain remonstrated with the judge at the largeness of the fine, saying that it was rather an expensive ride, the judge good natiredly replied, that the captain never before rude so expensive a horse." AMERICAN W .INE. The manufit ture of Wine is extending in Ohio which it is said will make its value as fiiions as the Maine or the 11hine. A na tive grape, the Catawba, closely re semables the best of the Champagne Wines of France, and is growing rap idlv into favour with the connoiseurs. 'The Wine Committee of the Pennsyl. vania Hlorticultural Society says of it in their repo rt of the 8arkling Ca! tawba, 1848, that "a nore exquisitely flavored champagne it would -be dif fieult to meet with among the most celebrated fhreign brands. The dry wiml iom the same grape resembles and comparably with the celebrated lock wines of the Rhine, for which it has been mistaken by good judges. These wines are complJosed ofi the pure juice of the g'rape, with no alco. holic additions whatever. WVhen such wines are produced in abundance in this country, as they soon will be, our people)1 will know for t he first tirne what pur'e light wines really are. Very few Amueric'ans, ex(cpt, 'those who have tra velled abroad, esti mate prIoperly the moral value of pure light wines, because purei' wines seldom 11ind their way across thle A tlantie. Their initroiduction into common use ini tl~is country will doubtless be the tioundla tioni of' a great reform in the habits of' he peoph-m; for it is a conced,'d point iihMa aundanl~lIce oft Iilit wines acts to dliscouraige the free of ar deiit spirits. Millions of dollars, moreover, are annuamlly sent abro ad to pany thr drugged and branudi ed cumupoimds sold undier the niame of' wine, which accord. ing to all medical test imiou r, are prolific sources of disease, when our own soil can supply us with a pileasant and innocent hever'age, whmose use would be free from the miorail and physical evils that attend upon the consumpltion of the more deleterious liqjmuors.

Time President and Mr.~LaTv. The New York Herald of Sunday last gives the following as the origin of the letter recently addressed by Presi dent Fillmore to Mr. Maxwell, Collec tor of the P rt, in relation to Mr. Law and the Cuban difliculty : The history of this letter, so for as Mr. Law is concerned, is as follows: On the 14th inst., Mr. Aaxwell ad dressed a note to Air. Law, inviting an interview. Mr. Law called at the Col lector's office on the same day, and Air. Maxwell read to him in extract of a letter which he said be had previously written the President, pretending to give the language of an interview on or about. the 11th inst. The Collectors letter stated that Air. Law had said to him, that lie should send out the Cres eent city, and if the vessel was fired upon she should be surrendered, and he would go to war with the Govern nent of Cuba. Air. Law inmediately replied that he had madu no such de claration-that the idea of his going to war with Cuba was nonsens -and that in mnaking a statement to this efT, et to the President, he (the Collector) iad niisrepresented'him. That which he did say was, that the Crescent City had gone out, and would land at Ilavana as usual, and that if she im frred fz'pon and hit, the ship, being unarmed, would be surrendeieI and the officers and crew remain at IJavanna as prisoners; and that. upon such a question, the country would go to war if the outrage were not redressed, or lie was mista ken in his estimate of the character and temper of the American people. Mr. Maxwell promised to write to the Presi dent, and correct his mis-statement. Oil the fillowing day, (15th inst.) Air. Maxwell sent to Air. Law a letter containing these mis-statements, which he had promi -ed to correct, dated back to the 1st, o November, and a poirtion of it purporting to he the substance of a letter addressed to him by the l'resi dent. Of this letter, Mr. Law took no notice, for the reason that so inuch of It as purported to lie the Collector's owl letter to the President, he knew to be incorrect, and he thought it not improbable that lie may also have mis stated that of i he President; but if lie had not the Pi esident's letter was based entirely uponu the muis-staiteimeints of the Collector. Ilad the l'residenit's let ter, or a copy of it, been sent to AMr. La1w, without the introductory mis staitemcnt of Air. AMaxwell, AMr. Law wou'tld at once have replied to it, with the respect due to the Chief AMagistrate of the nation. Mir. Law has had no corresponidcince with Mir. Miaxwell, and preferred not to have any. Tit GREAT AoKN.-We re-ferred, some timue agoi, to the thet that light tabiles had been moved in this city by imerely placing the plm~ns of the hand's upon them; hut we uderstood that it was also required to exert the will. On this subject, the New York Tribune has thle fl lowinig am tiele: 'igar results are obtained in this city from a very simple application of the niervous fluid, aunimaul mnagnet ism, or whiatever bie the agency, to brute nmtter. Let a party uof six or eight puersonas sit atrouiid a coiimmion pine ta ble for twenty miinutes to half an hour with thle paulmus of thle hands held flat on the top oft the table; it is not necessary that their minds should pay' any attention to the process, or the orinayoversat ion be suspended; hetpreenly hetable becomes so charged w ithi the mysterious fluid t hat it begins to ruiove; then rise fronm it, push aiway your ebairs, still holding your hands near, though it, is not nec essary to touch it, and it will turn roundi~ from end to end, and even pro ceed rapidly about the room, without any visible agent, on which excursions the personis must hear it company, or the cuirreiit is broken and the mnove mnent stops. This simple experiment muay easily lie tried; it requires no inith and no0 outlay of physical or muor al st rengthy tand the result, with a ta hble that is not too hearvy,- i-s pretty sure to follow; at least wve have known of several instances in which it has been miost astonishingly produced. Thle feect, when scient ilically estabalishued, must throw light oii the obscurities of mfesmuerism, spiritual manifestations, andi~ all thbat unexploredh class of phe nomuena.' This is an experiment vecry easily tried; but the result is unot so easily acoumted far, and we hope that scien tific gentlemen will give the sublject consideratio--as lie ascertauinnmenit, of tihe ermse of nmotion in thle table, may be of vast importance in reference to other matters. The peenliar, motion of the table if therec be any peculiarity in it, should be carefully observed-. whether it move in a circle or a straight line. T1hue cause of motion is with the ind ividlual, we judge, from the fact that it ceases uniless he follow the table in its movemeinnts.- The agent we sup. pose to lbe electricity in some of it 8u trmie; So..O 2- --------- JOHN T.

Although te present session of our General Assenblj w.ill no doubt be one of unusual interest, so far they have made no decided impression on the business before them. We are compelled to glean out of many colunins oftlull and uninterest ing reports, the few items of general interest which we lay before our read. ers. We see that tiere are before the Legislature at this time no fewer than seven applicAtions for the charter of new banks. We do not know whether this mania forthe nultiplieatiou of banks arises froA a desire to invest capital, otherwise unemployed, or from an eager wish among those destitnte of sullicient mcans,1to sea established among them, institutions which may relieve their necessities; we rather fear however that the latter is the im pelling motivo~ among those who are urgent for the establishment of new banking institutions and if we are right in our conjectures the new charters-if granted-will sluimber for sometime to come with tlie Winnmibor6 bank. Our talented anO estimable friend Col. L. M. KITT oa Ora:geburgh, has introduced into the Ilouse a bill ap. pointing the first Monday in Novem. ber for the quadrennial sessions of the Legislature, in order to obviate the present difliculties 'in the way of elect ing Electors for President and Vice President. The move is a good one but there are too many lawyers in the Legislature at present to render it ac ceptable to that body unless our pres ent judicial system is torn to pieces, so that the legal a.nd Legislative duties of the disciples of Blackstone may not be brought in 'conflict. The Legisluture has gracefully en dorsed the choice ridade by our Govern or for- Sefstwtq, eling t'he- in. W. F. )xSAUasstzR to fill the unex pired term of lon. R.-B. Rnmurr, which ends on the 3rd day of Afarch next. It is still auknoiwuywhomn the Legisla ture will elect to 11.ll the vacant Sena torship hut the friends of AMessrs. PICKENs, Oanm, CIIKsNUT, PRIsSTON, Woonw.4nn, and Judge EVAWa are busy in canvassing for their respective favorites. We learn on good authority that the friends of Gen. AnAMs haive determined not to put him in nomination for the Gubernatorial chair, and Col. A?-s N:NG will therefobre he elected without opposition. On the first Tuesday of the session otur IlIon. Senator presented a mnemori al f'rom the citizens of Sumterville praying for the estabilishment of a banik in oPur town. A bill to alter the Constitution of the State so as to divide Ppndleton7 in-. to two Districts was brought forward. Air. AIIA. of the Senate ga~ve no tiee that he would introduce a bill giv ing the election of President and Vice President to the people. Mir. Por-PEN-. nEIM also brought forward a bill to show thei manner in which the Presi dential Electors shall be app'.intedl. (Of tfais seficeirre the correspondent of the Mercury says: "The people vote for the whole numbter of' Electors to which the State is entitled. The names oft the candi dates in each District or Parish are forwarded to the Governor, who assist. ed by the Comptroller -and Secretary of State, adds1 to the votes received b'y them, the slave population of the said Districts or Parishes, in the rates of thtrec votes for every f,~ve slaves. The Governor and the officers above men tioned, are then to " add together the different votes of all the Parishes and Districts of thie State,-and to determine whol have received the largest number of votes in the whole State."

It is by no means a remarkable fea ture in the pseud philanthropy of' Northern Abolitionists that while their humanity urges them to move heaven and earth to break up the beneficent connection between-master and slave, ind expend' thousands in fomenting trouble and 'distress among those who. subsist by the institution of slavery, their sentimcnal doctrines ' no means -embrace .within the scope- of' their benevolence the unfortunate be: ings in their own midst whAo eanour, not for a vague and nominal freedom, but for some alleviation of those afflic tions, which abide with poverty even in the midst of civilization and boasted independence. Error is always inconsistent-alway's cruel and savage, even vhen, in the eyes of its apolkgists, it seems to 'lean to virtues' side." Unless the doctrines and the sentiments of men are based upon something more substantial and commanding than the innate and natu ral impulses of their own hearts they must ever be erroneous, and lend con tinually . to the. perpetration of acts which cannot stand the test of reason or of time. II the late -ILSoN slave ease at the North which was decided by Judge PAmiNE we have a striking illtstration tof the manifold mischief committed by those who profess to be guided only by an enlightened regard for the interests of humanity and a desire to promote the well being of their fellow men. As our readers already know, some eight slavos the property of Mr. LEMON, of Virginia,-a stranger on his way to to Texas via New York-were forcibly taken from him and declared free by the decision of the court. Here accord. ing to the doctrines of the abolitionists was a great point gained. Eight hu man beings were rescued from slavery and restored to that independence which is the "inalienable right" of all men. Such is the abolition view and a glorious one no doubt it is as seen through their own perverted vision. But we should like to know if thin new. ly acquired independence will purchase for these eight slaves a morsel of bread to relieve the pangs.of hunger ? Will it clothe' thier nakedess, o,hter them from the icy blasts of a Northern winter I If it will it is a peculiar inde pendence, -a more glorious one, thin we descendlants of the taxon can boast of. But our Noirthern friends wore not satisfied with reducing eight well fed and coimfortably clothed beings who haad never known a want to a state of helpless and abject mnisery they must needs pay tihe owner of these slaves five thousand dollars for tile privilege of rendering them helpless and needy and( vteduinig themt to a condition infin itely worse than death. Was not this pulrchasing the misery of eight human beings at too dear a rate ? We know hut little experimaentally of the hardships and sutTerings o~f the poor of New York. But we know full enlough to enable us to declare confiden tially and boldly that the abolitionists of New Y'ork in order for reduce eight negroes to mnisery and actual starration have paid otta sum of money sufficient tn haave fed and comfortably clothcd, througha a long and inelenient winter tu-ent y-fourfminnils, of five persons each, oif their own toiling, starving freezing population. Such is the in. conisistencey, the cruelty of fanaticismi which perpetrates a thaousand crimnes in the anme of virtue and in vain looks upon tiae work ofC its own hands for a single deed, which can challenge admi ration or afford encouaragemnent to their utopian schemes fur the amelioration of the World. Thme Pr'esldest usd Mr. Law. .Amonig the amusing evecnts of the day perhaps tile most droll and laugha ble is the recent exhibition of official diligence mnade by our Chief Mngis trate to prevent an open war upon Cuba by Mr. Gsoan LAwv of New York, a wealthy merchant whlo some two years since porchased a large nium her of muskets from the Government on speculation. We had thought "the hasty-plate-of soup letter" by another dignaitary suiffi ciently amusing in its way,-and so inadeed it was, but we think General SCOTT must, resign his bays as a comic letter-writer henceforth and forever to the present occupiant of the White I louse. If our memory does not nrislead us it has beeni customary, to issue a paper somewhat in the form of a proclamation, whenever serions appre hensions were entertained that our'citi he thought it'dttIabI ftd-oai fr"m the ;usunt3i .dg sprocedure and reed him leftureupgn individual re sponsibilities ,and the- penialities of doiason'though' a'1g d lieolket or of the.port9fjew.

The rage and anger of our President has a chain paigne flavor about it that we cannot admire in one occupying his high station.

A company of undertakers, from the north, has just arrived to comimene ere.:ting the columns to support the bri ige over the Great Pee Dee, at a point about one mile above AMars Bluf. It is a work of apparent magnitude to us, but it seems to be a small matter in the view of some of these enterpris ing workmen. 'The bridge will be built on piers, encased by iron cylin. ders from their foundations, below~ the bed of the rivet, to their tops. The diameter of the columns will be al6om six or eight feet, and the bridge will present the singular appearance of h~e ing supported by large iron shafts ris. ir.g out of the stream. It is supposed b~y the~ workmen that the piers may b~e all, comnpleted by tihe ensuing spring. This will be the only diffleult part of the great work of throwing a bridge across the Great Pee Dee. The delay in getting iron to furnihh the western portion of the road, will probably cause the eastern portion, from Wilnington to the Great Pee Dee, to be put in operation first. If so, the immense trade of the Pee Dee country will flow into the lap of the N. Carolina city.--Marion Star. 30th in., PaREsENT FROM Govansoat MEANs TO Mos:~UR VATTEMdAnE.--We translate the following from a Pafis'paper, re eived by the British Steam Ship A merica:-'Mfons.

It is the hand somest of its species which hats yet been seen in America; it is at least one third larger than the largest fox of France.' The above mentioned ani mal was shipped from this port last summer, by the French ship Nouvelle Amnele, Capt. G:LLART.
