During the races at -t '.ft swagger? ; ing " down easter'' entered a saloon itt the enclosure and boasted that he. had a Government cavalry 4iorse which had been through the wr, tlia,t could, beat anything entered for the races during the meeting.

"DoneJ7,aid,th other. Fj. . " Done said the boaster. . "Upw. ; coyer Jhat," said w the owner pfn the mule, lying down a $100. The boaster began to be frightened at this. ' He thought' there must' ' be something more about the mute than he was aware of, otherwise the -owner " wouldn't 3 plank a " $ 1 00 ' to rori him '' against a horse. - He began to pitch about uneasily. ' He put his hand in his pocket ; he pulled it .out again ; and at last ,eaid : " I don't know, I s wo w, . about that tarnal mole : he may be the devil and all to run, for what I kno w." " Do you back out then ?" 1 . " Yes, I back' out,1 and treat."

I never saw that jackass of yours run," said the boaster, beginning to hesitate " he may be the devil and all upon a race, for what I know." " Do you flunk out, then ?" ' "Yes, flummux this time; but by jingo, there's nothing else you can bring, except the jackass and the mule, but what my horse can beat." "Are you certain of that, my good fellow.?" "I think so." " Why if you're quite certain, I'll bet you something I've got a negro that will outrun him." "A nigger!" ; - . " Yes, my nigger Tom will beat him." "I'll bet a $100 of that there ain't no nigger that ever breathed that can beat my horse." ' " Very well cover that." As he said this, the man once more put down the $100. "But," said he, if you back out this time, you shall forfeit $10, and' if I back I'll do the same." " Agreed,", said the boaster " I'm sure my horse can beat a nigger, if he can't a mule or a jackass." . , " Well,; ' plank the money, if you please." ' ' '." ' ' . " Plank it ? so I will don't you fear that." Saying this, he once more took out his pocket book, and began to rum ble for the money. , " Come, man, down . with your dust said the other, taking out more money, " for I'm ready to back my bet with an other $100 or $200, if you like it. Come ! why do you ' hesitate ? Here's $300 I'm ready to stake." " Three hundred dollars !" exclaimed the boaster, starting like a stuck pig $300 upon a nigger ! I don't know, I swan." . " What, man ! you are not going to get frightened again?" . " " Frightened ?" Oh no oh no it's no easy matter to frighten me but really" " You mean to back out ?" " I declare, neighbor, I don't know what to think about it. It's a kind o' a risky business." '. "You forfeit the $10 then?" "Why, yes, I 'spose I must," said the boaster, handing over the money, with an air of great mortification " better to lose this than more, for there's no knowing how fast these blamed niggers will run. But anything else you can bring, except the mule, the jackass and the nigger, I'm ready to run against." JlANUFACTUEnrG. William Gregg, Esq., says the Columbia Phcenix, who has been in Europe for1 some ' months past, has just returned, having pur-' chased abroad a complete outfit of new machinery for his factory, at Granite ville. The machinery has already been . shipped to Savannah and Charleston. . ; It is determined, as we learned some weeks ago from our Augusta exchan '., ges, to fit up with this new machinery ; the old being ' advertised for sale which is intended for the manufacture ' of the finest descriptions of cotton cloth, shirtings, sheeting, &c, and we re- sume a bteaChing aii'd probably a print ing establishment will be added, . Here tofore, nothing but cotton osnaburgs and heavy brown' sheetings and shirt inffs were made at Graniteville. This movement of the Graniteville Company ' will be followed up by other manufac turing establishments. The Saluda Factory, under the ener getic management of Col. Childs, is be ing reconstructed, and will be filled up with new machinery." Vauclause is al so being renovated.

Trichinosis, John Mitchel, in a. let- ter from Paris to the New York Mies, .w ;t . . -v ' thus discourses on trichinosis -the dis-. ease that has spread so much concern and - alarm in Europe, and ; not a little in New York and other cities of the Uni-; ted States, ' among ' pork and ' sausage dealers and consumers : ' '2 '' -'. ;. V.j ' I hope you -''are not troubling your selves over mere about the trichinosis. It is a matter of little or ho consequence.' ; The French Government lately ' sent f two learned commissioners to Germanv ' to examine into the affair and make a re- i port. : They were Monsieurs . Diepech, Professor of the Faculty of Medicine at Paris, and Regnal, Professor in the great Veterinary establishment at Alfort. They have returned and published their re port. I It appears by this report that the cases of disease produced by trichines in the hog population itself a very small percentage. For . example,' in Hanover, during twenty-one months, of 25,000 hogs there were but eleven af fected.' In Brunswick the proportion was greater 16 out of 14,000. The cases of human beings attacked by the trichines are also, it seems, very few on the whole. The causes of these latter. say the commissioners,' may be traced to the dirty habit common in Germany of devouring raw bacon", "or sausages mpertectly cooked. I hey report against any particular governmental measnre beiug taken in France on the subject ; because here, they say, people are in the habit of cooking their bacon well. And apropos 01 bacon, the great ham fair of the Faubourg St. Antonie has just taken place here, and they Were plenty 01 buyers and sellers nobody thought of the little trichines so pyr amids ofhams from Byonne, and mourn tains of them from Mayence "went off as briskly as usuaL ' , 1 . Convicts Sent South. Forty-eight' ne gro convicts, in jail at "Washington, have been released and sent to Louisiana under charge of the Freedmen's Bureau. A nol prof, was entered in each case on condition tnat tue prisoner would go' South. The despatch says that some of these prisoners were " contrabands," and some were " na tives," by the latter term meaning, probably, persons born in or near Washington, who are thus sent away from their homes and families to be made a charge upon a strange people. - And this work is done by that be nevolent institution, the fTeedmen s Bureau, and under the very eyes of the philanthropists of the Senate and House. By what right one State is made a penal colony for the convicts of another, we can not say, but the act is entirely unjustifiable, and is an outrage upon the people of Louis iana, and upon the parties who can thus be torn trom their homes. The South is poor enough now, without being burdened with this tresb installment. Boston would no doubt gladly welcome these poor creatures to its embrace, and set about the task of re forming them, but it is the very refinement of cruelty to expose these negroes, lately re leased from" slavery, to the perils and tempta tions of life -among the unreconstructed.

Every finn VnnwR t.llAt tllA mpnlinniam - rtf tlio VwKif .- manufactories of this country is unequalled " in any other part of the world. The genius '; f American mechanics produced the cotton the mechanical reaper and mower, the : sewing machine, and last but not least, the wonderful machinery of tbe Amencan Watch Company of Waltham, This Company was established in 1850, and has grown in pro portions which entitle it to a first rank among the manufacturing enterprizes of tbe New World. ; It employs between 000 and 1,000 artizans of superior skill and charac ter, and a large and thriving town has grown up in its vicinity.. The factory covers over three acres of ground, and as an illustration of its extent, we may mention that it is sup plied with more than 60 miles of iron pipes and produces an aggregate of nearly 75,000 watches per annum. - The rounders of this Company believed that the same delicate mechanical processes which had produced such remarkably perfect results in larger ma chines, might be applied with even greater advantage to the production of the watch. The foreign time-pieces are made principally by hand, and except when of high cost, an imperfect article, often out of repair, and of little value i&lhe result. Abroad, these mys terious and infinitesimal organs which, when aggregated, produce the watch, are the fruit of slow and toilsome manual processes. In the results, there must of course be lack of that perfect unifonnity which is indispensa ble for correct time-keeping. - The constitu ent parts of the American watch,' on the other band, are fashioned by the most deli cate and accurate machinery. Wheels, pin ions, springs, screws, absolutely uniform ia. weigui, circumierence, uimeusiuus, uuu m every possible particular, are . turned out in myriads by. unerring fingers of iteel, and their proper combination and adjustment by skilful workmen have given tbe Company its high reputation. .. Its watches not only go with the trade and go in the pockets of 200,000 people, but they go right and go eve rywhere. Exchange. Raleigh Money Market. RALEICII XATIom B1XS. OF S. CABOLCU. ; ;.. ' .'

"I Baltdiobe, May ll.--Yesterday Jefferson Davis was indicted for -treason against the United States by the grand jury in session at Norfolk. The trial of the prisoner it is sup posed will take place in June. :. Dr. Bigelow, of Alexandria, one of the members of the grand jury, who reached Baltimore this morning, says the statement that Mr. J. Gillingham, the foreman of the grand jury, declined serving as a member of that body npon hearing the opening charge of Judse Underwood, is incorrect. Mr. Gil lingham had never served on a jury before, and simply requested to be 'excused from serving as foreman, stating as his reason that he was afraid he was not competent to fill that position. He made no objection what ever to serving as a member of the jury. , SECOND DESPATCH. , Norfolk, May 11. Late yesterday after noon the grand jury of the United States Court, in session here, brought in a true bill" of indictment against Jeff. Davis for treason, and adjourned until the first Tues day m June, to meet m Richmond. . ; Norfolk. Mav 11. The grand jury, which met here on Tuesday last, has adjour ned until the first Tuesday in June. Yes terday afternoon a true" bill of indictment against Jeff. Davis and John C. Breckinridge for treason ajrainst the United States, was brought in and asrreed upon, alter which tne jury adjourned. : The jury was composed of twenty-tour men, all Virginians, ana unionists.- There was a remarkable, unanimity among them on all the important question to which their attention was directed. Many of them had suffered in their persons and property at the hands' of the, rebel leaders, and five of them were, I am informed, con siencd to Castle Thunder during the rebellion for their refusal to swear' allegiance to the rebel government -.These men are all "radi cals," who believe that "treason is a crime and ought to be punished." The testimony brought before them,:' and on . which they based their bill of -indictment, was over whelming against Davis and Breckinridge, but especially Davis. "What is perhaps most remarkable aboutitie th.fct that it was receh el prin. illy from Witne 83s, who had served either in the civil or military service of the rebellion. . Theeyidence against Davis was very direct and positive, and suprised even the jurors. . . tyvru. We make the following extract from the charge of Judge Underwood ip the Grand Jury 1 : p;.-'1: vs-tifvi-'Phi! ' " The omission of "the last grand jury to find indictments against thoscwho may be considered the principal criminals and great est offenders agamBt tbe national sovereignty, who were, in fact; the most prominent in po sition at the time they -.deserted their places in the Senate of the Um'ted States, and be came leaders of the rebellion, has been mis understood, and the President ha informed tie Court that he is unwilling to advise pro eeedinas aaainst such subordinates as Wirt, while their superiors and more guilty leaders are not brought to justice. This Court entire ly agrees with the President in his often re peated declaration, that treason is the great est of crimes and ought to be signally pun ished, and that it is cowardly to punish the subordinate and comoaratively insignificant, and allow the principals to escape. , We also concur in the opinion that the" leaders in the late rebellion may be treated either as trai tors or public enemies, as they were undoubt edly both by the laws of nations.", p ...
