Kew York, &c., &c. Some few weeks since business carried us to the great commercial emporium of the country the city of New York. TVe left this metropolis for that tillage one morning, and on the evening of the day subsequent to our departure, took a seat in Niblo's Garden, and wit nessed the performance of tho "Black Crook a performance rich and rare, and exhibiting plomptitudes " in every con ceivable variety. So much for modern travel. The time was, when a journey be tween those places was. the labor of seve ral days, and the cause of much bodily fa tigue, expense and wear and tear. New York, without doubt, is a great place ; it has increased with unexampled rapidity, and is daily growing greater and richer in all thelements of wealth and prosperity. It is the great commercial heart of tho country; the centre of a trado which reaches with spreading arms tho world over. To be picked up out of an inland town, and suddenly transported irfto that rushing, struggling, driving, vast emporium, into those crowded streets and avenues, has a tendency to open tho eyes with wonder, if not admiration. Thero is Broadway, for instance : what street in the world can equal Broadway, with its moving muss of human life with two great tides as it were of human action and happiness, ever going and returning with the regularity of machinery with its numberless vehicles, from the hand cart of tho laborer to the carriage with liveries of tho wealthy, not forgetting that other liveried carriage- which passes unnoticed through tho thronged thouroughfares on its business journey to Greenwood. Who that has sauntered lei surely down Broadway, and surrendered his thoughts to the speculations of the mo ment, but has wondered at the wealth, the resources, the importance of this great and growing city, ur on the return, seated with the driver of the omnibus on his - perched up seat, but has gazed with ad miration on the panorama spread out be fore him, a rushing throng of thousands as far as the eye can reach, with magnificent houses on either hand and countless stores died witn ricn merchandise, bee it by gas light, when the hurrying press is some what over and the seekers of pleasure pass on their way. '' There is but one Broadway, and it may not be excelled. It really seems as though the people of New York have no other oc cupation but to walk alternately and con tinually, up and down Broadway. Tho re- JS 11. .L A 1 1 uouuviis uiat tumu una a Dtiuugui, biuuu- ing before one of the hotels, and gazing at the passing crowd, are conflicting and over powering. How many unwritten volumes are passing there ! Uow much ' of happi ness, the tinsel pleasure of the hour, is in thatgroupe? How much of care, wasting dis ease and sorrow passes slowly yonder ? There is unblushing sin, with high head, and unappreciated virtue with lowly front. Eiches, poverty, health, disease, age, youth, passing in a stream whose outlet is " that unknown sea which sweeps round all the world." Arriving in New York from an inland, or distant town, and you behold at onee the vast difference between the man ners and conduct of the one contrasted with the other. Living in a small town you are - familiar with the community of interest and feeling, which usually prevails; where the transactions of the day are known to all the inhabitants; where the kindly practice of troduced, he replies to the usual questions propounded, as thus : " I arrived last even ing," and "I put up at the St Nicholas," and retires to his room with the reflection that he is in truth, but a small potatoe, to be sure. Yet New Y'ork is a great place, sin ful though it be ; it is a free place too, where one can do or say what he pleases, without fear of molestation, so that he does not offend against the law. It is the place to have your orders filled, and this it can do without regard to expense, variety, or singularity. Upon the whole, we rather prefer it to our own city of W , or in fact to any other locality in the Southern country, as long as this terrible uncertainty in regard to our future remains. For tho Journal. SI I OUT SEKMOS BY A liAYMAS. No. 5. a Words are curious things to 6tudy, as Mr. Trench has proved in his interesting essay, There is one word upon which he did not enlarge, but which has become of painfu interest to most people, and I purpose dis cussing it. I mean the word Creditor. If you will pardon the expression, I consider it a bully word. Perhaps you know what a creditor in, but did you ever think of its derivation? It comes from credo (I believe and henco a creditor is "one who credits or believes." ' For instance, if a man has money to lend, and you promise to repay him provided lie lends it to you, and he be lieves yon and lends it to you, then he is a creditor - if be don't believe you, he gen erally has'nt got any to lend. Creditors are great fellows for remembering things and they are very strict observers of set days and times, old Franklin says. They beat debtors in that line. Debtors are powerful on forgetting dates, in fact they have a contempt for them ; but creditors fill Mr3. Ilemans description of death they havo all seasons for their own. Credi tors are at a heavy discount in North Caro lina. Debtors being in the majority, par ticularly in the legislature, have lately been puttinc: creditors through a course of Hprouts. They have unanimously resolved that creditors shall take aback seat and Etay there. The Act , which operates thus squelchingly on creditors is called the " stay " law, and was the happy conceit of a legislator who believed with Mr. Sur face's friend, that there was no use to squander money paying old musty debts. Some people are deluded with the idea that hese kind of laws are calculated to shake tho faith of creditors that, in fact, they are not creditable ; but such people have run credit into the ground. The majority is bound to rule, and don't the Legislature represent an overwhelming majority of in solvent constituents, and is'nt the Legisla ture itself insolvent? What have they got to do, then, with creditors, but to squelch 'em. . By tho way that word " insolvent" is another queer word, Strictly speaking it means "not to be freed or loosed," but the meaning has been greatly relaxed, and in solvents are about as free, and slosh around about as loose as other folks, if not looser. Indeed most folks belong to that class, and most folks are morally and financially slack twisted, and loosening every day. Paying debts is a subject not to be named in com pany, and to ask a! man for security is, as Falstaff says, to put " rats-bane in his mouth." j But to return to creditors. It is actually becoming discreditable to be a creditor. It is dangerous too, for sometimes debtors give creditors a sort of "satisfaction, which don't liquidate the debt. Creditors The Pie tar Taken. Looking over a file of newspapers pub- shed twelve years ago, we stumbled upon the following account of how Charity Squiz- zins, tlie wife of Dr. S. S. Squizzins, had her " dogratype took " in San Francisco. t is exceedingly amusing, and 'will bear re-publication, and what adds to the zest of the matter is, that we know some of the principal parties in the transaction. This is the way she "sot " for . her " dogra type:"- - - f - . ' ; - ' - " We had now exhausted everything of in terest to be seen in the city, and my wife having expressed a desire to have her por trait taken, we proceeded to a daguerreo type establishment near the post office, for that purpose. Following the direction given us by a pointing hand, and a sign 'DADDLES, ABTLST-UP BTAIHS.U3-B-D-I.-y, late of Wilmington, N. C.) We entered an apartment, neatly fur nished, the walls of which were covered with the staring photographs of celebrated men ana women. Among omer aistin guished personages, I noticed the portraits of Gov. Bigler, tho Candy Man, General Sutter, the Noisy Carrier, and J. P. Haven. A respect for dimity precludes the mention of the females. After waiting for a few moments, and no one appearing to receive us, my impatience overcame me, and I sang out" Hello folks." My cry was an swered by the opening of a door, leading apparently into an anto-chamber, and tho appearance of something in human form, but composed as follows : of bows 20 parts, Bmiles 15, grins 10, smirks 05, grimaces 24, genuflexions 2., human proerhes 01. Total 100. This person was an embodiment of tho concentrated essence of high-falutin po liteness, reduced to a solid ! He was con tinually washing his hand, in imaginary Isoap and water, and bowing incessantly, as though suilering at every consecutive sec ond with an acute pang of colic in the pit of the epigastrics.

Knowing the general interest felt by your neighbors in your family and commercial concerns, and awaro that the town general ly resolves itself into a committee of the whole for tho ascertainment and publica tion of all occurrences, and tit-bits of scan dal or news, yon are somewhat surprised In New York, to bohold the very antipodes of all this. There a universal selfishness prevails; each man attends to his business, careless whether his neighbor flourishes or fails, lives or dies. They have no time for the cultivation of friendly feeling it does not pay they may have chance acquaint . anceahips, and a slight regard for persons connected with them by trade, but fall. v blooded friendships are rare, and the ex. more corners ; and they make more people near-sighted anddeaf than other men alive What if a man has got a little property and is able to pay, and has promised to pay, isn't he " good for it," and oughtn't that to be satisfactory ? Do yon know why China is called " tho celestial country"? It's because they have a law there which wipes out all debts on tho first day of January, whether people aro able to pay or not. Who will Bay that is not better than tho villainous custom of taking notes, or keeping accounts. How delightful it must be, after a constable has set up with you faithfully until the 31st day of December, to emerge the next day and not know him! Creditors are very insignifi- i cant creatures there on New Year's day. Tho Chinese aro very respectable people in my opinion, and I have no doubt that, i their law was adopted here, it would be bibitions of personal kindnesses, springing I considered a big thing. Then there would from no motive save that of generosity or good will, are seldom seen. . They are, for the most part, a driving, calculating, cold blooded set, engaged body and soul in the making of money, and careless of all outside this, their legitimate domain. You may occupy a house as your dwelling. for ... years, and with your family have every dis position to cultivate free and easy relations , with your neighbors on either side, but this you will find to be impossible; a barrier is wised, and you cannot cross it, save by a compliance with terms other than your own. A. good illustration of life in New York is afforded in the experience of one of the hotels, where the man of the v; flee ends up to No. 77 a mint julep, and to No." 138 a coffin. We met an old ao---Jfjnaintance at one of these hotels : "Are you putting up here," says he. "Yes." Z "Then 111 see yoa frequently." Stayed a Week and never saw him again. ' And yet this indifference to all that con cerns your neighbor, so general and wide spread, has its advantages. Yon can turn . round in New York without the fact being c Ixotra to all the inhabitants ; yoa can be bo no lawyers, and writs and sheriffs and other disturbers of domestic peace, and everybody would prosper, instead of being in a state of chronic insolvency like we are, In conclusion I would advise you not to try to be a creditor. Creditors are nuisances and are about to be abolished. They are what are facetiously and elegantly termed bad eggs. Conscience Money. Assistant Quartermaster M. A.

Soon as I lit, I see suthen a fore me on three l6gs, for all the world like a coffin for a year old baby. It was kiver- ed with a black cloth. .Now mum, says he, 'I'll set you.'

Then he tears off as hard as he can split, to the other end of the room, to see the evteci, as he calls it, of my position. Then he spits on the wall, and tells me to look at it, and keep my eyes on n, ana uoi io image me nan oi a hair, as I valued my complexion. After all this is done, he tells me to smile, look pleased and graceful, as nothing was wus ser in a picture than stiffness and a vinegar mug ! He then snatched the rag off the coffin, and looked at a watch. After a few minutes he puts the rag back, takes suthen out of the comn, goes into a closet and pretty soon comes out stinkin' of sulphur and drugs, and bearin, inlhis hand the por trait of Charity, your'Tviie.

Davis, oiler, Patrick Donovan, oiler, Jeremiah O'Brien, flrejnan, and Frank Tobev. fireman, report that they were at tached to the steamship City of Bath, which sailed from Boston for Savannah on the 6th instant, with a general cargo ; and that on Sunday last, between 12 and 1 o'clock, A. M., the ship being about 35 miles north of Hatteras, on the edge of the Uulf, she was discovered to be on fire in and near the coal bunkers. The officers and crew exerted themselves in every way to sup press the fire, and it was hoped at one time that it was got under ; but about 4, A. M. , the flames broke through the forward hatch, when all hopes for the safety of the ship was given up, and the boats, three in num ber, were got ready. Tho first boat, con taining the parties who have been saved and three others, had to be cut loose from the ship, by which means shawas separated from the vessel, and it was not until is, A. M., the same day that they met the Captain s boat, centaimng Captajn Coner, Isaac Ba con,, second mate, the Savannah pilot, and first steward, named Talbot. This boat was full of water, and the per sons in it were taken into the boat con taining the first seven. They then re turned to the wreck, but could discover nothing of the third boat. About 5 miles from the steamer they made a sail, which proved to be the schooner Laura S. Watson, Captain Doherty, of Sedgwick, Me., from New York, for Georgetown, S. C. In trying to get on this vessel the boat was overturned, when Captain Coney, the second engineer Ghavles 4. Clark, the Sa vannah pilot, Talbot the steward, Joseph Hamilton, coal-passer, and ' Barney, coal passer, were drowned. The remaining four were rescued. The following are known to be drowned : Albert A. Colden, chief en gineer ; first engineer John L. Wiggins ; Mead, chief mate ; a lady passenger and child, and a male passenger. As the third boat was thought to be less able than the others, it is feared that the remainder of the officers and crew have been lost. Charleston Mercury, th inst. Caury Ltwi.
