TERY. 8ar annah if we may judge from ber papers, was asog last week to witness tbe lit drawing or Winter's larger schema, which, tbe reader is a ware, baa been removed from Macon to that city. The drawing took "place on tba 16th, at St. An drew's Hall, and we find a glowing account of it in the News. Tbe Georgian & Journal furnishes the reach in tbe article copied below.. We are uo advocates of Lotteries or of baying Lottery tickets never bought one. and probably" never sLali. Under the old system of combined - Bum bers, it was a current rumor: in Baltimore one season, that tbe Lottery stock men realised that year about 600 per cent, on their investment, and, we saw a calculation made that, under their cur rent schemes if all tbe-ptizes were draar,-TTe ticket holders would recover an average of 66 2-3 every dollar Inserted. That was a bad finan cial ope: ation. Under tbe Havana plan of stogie numbers, tbe operation is, no doubtmncb more just to tbe pub Us. Indeed, we have been told that a dividend or about tan per cent, per annum ia about all that can be counted upon by stock holders ; so that as a fSosines to investors, it does not pay morelban any .business sbo?td, particu larly one of great detail, labor and responsibility Mr. Winter" is a busioess man, " prompt In every thing, and bis establishment here ia one of tbe largest and most orderly and tne tho ica I in tbe eountry. If people therefore, bey tickets, tber can &d no better or safer cbance than be offers j but persdnall , we think they bad much better re'y for gaioe on tho steady tneomfogs from persistent labor or busincxa , well pros oca- ted. ; " From, the Georgian 4r Journal Toe Jaspe Coohtt Lottkbt DiWio.

V Winston, Md., March 28th, 1857. t Messrs. Editors I now hasten to give ' vou an aocount of quite a tragical affair that happened on the night of the 27th of this month. " It seems that the son of Phil ip Pendleton, of this counly, and a joung man by the name of Drain, from Chicago, had some misunderstanding, which result ed in Drain's challenging young i Pendle ton. Ha accepted ihe challenge and chose for weapons bowie. knifes. Tbey nailed themselves down to a two inch oak plauk by the pants and fought until Drain was mortally wounded. Young Pendleton was cut nearly in pieces, and is now lying in a critical condition. Part of Pendleton's knife is sir! I in Drain's bead. There is no hope of his recovery. The Dr thinks they will both die. It is a sad lesson fofyoun? men of their age to meet with so antimely an end. I have not been able to find out tbe cause of tbe quarrel. As tbe mail is about starting I have scarcely time to go into particulars. I will write soon and give particulars of tbe sad occurrence. Drain was 22 years old small of stature, while Pendleton was about 19. .
