Tennessee may boast a conqueror of the beasts of the forest her eccentric, her lamented Croc kett; and New York may boast nn explo rer of the mighty dcep-her unfortunate, her ill-fated Sam Patch; but to old Rip sup. r mnuatcd old Rip Van Winkle, is reserved the honor of producing a son who wrestles with the monsters of Ocean aye, and conquers them in a fair fight is it a bull on their own ground. Washington Whig. 'Some few days since, Francis Dixon, a Pilot at Ocracoke bar, who stands five I'cct six in bis stockings, whilst on a fish ing excursion in Pamptico Sound, discov ered some large specimen of the finny tribe entangled in one of his nets. His compan ions, lour in number, on closer inspection, discovered that the intruder was a well grown shark, and in dismay fled to their boat and plied manfully the oars to its sides with a view of intimidating the sea bully trom approaching nearer hallooing th L-l while to Dixon (who was wading breast deep on the shoal,) to seek shelter with them: but judge their surprise when they saw that, instead of following their exam ple, the daring pilot making his way to wards the scene, rolling up bis sleeves, and swearing "the d d crctur should not tear up his net that fashion." Up to his word, with clenched lists, he pounced upon bis adversary. His shark-ship, though conscious of his powers, seemed unwilling lo risk an engagement on tbe shoal, and made for deeper water, which in spite of his rider he reached, and commenced his fight by plunging and rolling entirely over, (this turns upon his hack when he attacks,) vet his antaironist with his j left arm und legs retained his bold, aware jtliat the loss ol it would be ceitain death. I For awhile, the chances were in favour !oi 1 1 io shark: he had the advantage ; a blow ! i iih the hand spent its force ere it could be fell underwater; his neck was too slippery to allow choking; his eyes too well pro tected by bony gills to render gouging of any avail: he was in his own element and had unohsti ucted road to the ocean. Dix on could not live very long in this plight, and whenever he should be compelled .by fatigue and weakness to let go, his business would be settled. All these reflections served only to render more cool the too dai ing native of terra firma. At length, as a dernier resort, he felt for his knife; but w hat difliculty in getting a Wet hand into a wet pocket: he did however ami opening it with his teeth, dashing the salt .spray from his brow, he took his aim and buried it to the hill in the monster's throat raking him down to the tail. The tables now turned; relieved of so much weight, ami rendered resistless by this operation, the shark was easily towed to the shoal. i'he companions, animated by the example of the brother fisherman, plunged into the sound and swam to him; but their aid was not wanted now; Dixon alone had sur vived tbe battle. The shark measured uinc ieet two inches. Should any of tbe fallen champion's tribe feel disposed to make a match, the best three in five, for one hundred dollars, to come off any time bc iore White Frost, and at any place inside of Ocracoke bar, by depositing stake at fruxtou's bank, dry shoal point, it will be immediately covered by Dixon's Second. Who says the times are hard? Walk Broadway at the promenade hours, and see the wealth of tbe Indies carried on the backs of the ladies; notice the tasteful and elegant establishments that roll along the carnage paths; see the doors of the fashion able shopkeepers, with as many carriages drawn up before them as if a great man's levee were held at each who says, in the lace of these facts, that the times are hard ? ' Look at the elegant fabrics which Cleo patra might have desired by the way, of Cleopatra. Had Egypt offered a Broad way to go a shopping in, she could have melted the revenue of a province there 1 faster than by dissolving pearls in vinegar j ljouk into the interior of the splendid stores which line the principal thoroughfares in our city turn into the furniture and furnishing warehouses and see the means of gratification for republican luxury. For all these things, which in elegance surpass any thing which Xerxes knew, there is appircntly no lack of purchasers, and yet times are'hard. Vatch our young men, catching with anxious promptitude the list new fashion, and going from extreme to extreme as dissimilar as the fluctuations and the changes of the butterfly all costing money, though the butteifly's mutations cost none, and are more beautiful. Wait until night fail, and hear the click of the cue, and then the rattle dfthc ballsuponbil liard tables. Look in at the elegant places of public resort, and seethe refreshments under discussion upon marble tables. Take an ice yourself, and sit half an hour, to hear or see, if you can, any indication that times are hard. Visit one only thea tre now open, and see if there be such a falling oil in the audiences as bespeaks pov erty. Listen if the lauh at Burton be less cheerful, or the attention to the specta cle less intense, than when times are ac knowledged easy. Ride upon the avenue, and notice the fast goers that trot by you. Look at the equestrian parties notice the stately esta blishment of "old families,'' and the gau dy turn-outs of new millionaires. Trav el farther to the Spring-, Saratoga, Bran dywine or Sulphur; go up the Hudson to Niagara to Trenton Falls - to Ca nada Nahant, any where and see if you find any body travelling beside yourself1. See rath'T if all the world has not turned birds of passage in these hard times. Mon ey is not to be had ergo they travel for nothing. (all in at tho markets, and learn if the choice cuts go begging. Point to some one who bw-rs shins, liver, or rumnsteaks. or buys fish for economy's sake. ' I 3 Walk iome with that young gentleman who has sent a week s provision for a garrison to feed his family of half a dozen, and who will call to morrow for as much more. As you walk, he will be sure to tell you that motley is awful hard. It is a little strange that the hardness of money is so seldom indicated by the outlays of those who complain most bitter ly. They cannot cash a tradesman's bill upon presentation because there is no danger of a protest upon refusal. They cannot show debtors any grace or give extensions and they are actually compel led to pay from one to two and a half per cent, per month for money to lift their notes. All this time, however, they do not remember that twenty dollars saved of their personal expenses or household dis bursements, will be so much less that they will need to borrow. When the stake is counted in thousands and hundreds, tens and fives are passed as of no conside ration. The very desperation of shinning and borrowing makes people more extrav agant when tbe day's work is done; atld the wives and daughters of merchants find them most liberal when they can least afford to be. The parties themselves may noi be a ware of tbe true reason of this but it is a desire even to impose upon their wives an appearance of greater piosperity than they are enjoying. They ore too many however who arc compelled to realise the truth of hard times, when they do come. These are the tradesmen whose accounts are never paid too promptly, and which are put aside as long as possible upon the pretext of "scar city of money. Always counting the cost before their purchase, even in good times, they are yet more careful during a season of reverses. After all, theirs is perhaps the most satisfactory lot; for by proper pru dence they suffer less than those in gilded misery who arc subjected to the mortifica tion of turning away demands which they know should he paid. Their bank account may not be injured by such refusal to pay but their conscience is pricked, if they have any. "Those who have found the golden mean Ami live conientedly between 'I'he littln and the great" suffer less from reverses and crises than those who npe the rich in business and style of living; and even less than those who possess actual property,- to be affected by reverses. As to poveity it is not what it is cracked up to be let philosophers say what they choose.

The Mi ans and lowians are just now engaged in a most sanguinary war upon pape-, about the boundary line between those two power ful emnire. It. seems that there is a small portion of territory over which the authori ties of both claim jurisdiction, & it isevider.t that that portion of the worid is likely for a time to be governed too much. The tax gatherer from Missouri made his appearance upon it, and the intimation is very plainly given that if he again comes, quarters will be found for him in some Iowa jail. Gov ernor Lucas, of Iowa, knows something cf marching up the hill & then marching down again, on boundary questions, as the event. of the "Toledo War" will abundantly testify, and we doubt not a similar res lit will follow this "oozing out" of His Ex cellency's courage. Better be quiet tni warm weather and wait until Congress s : tics the question, before nnv thing rash is undertaken. Baltimore Chronicle.
