A CRAG BOAT AND A BRAG CAPTAIN.

BY SOt. SMITH. Does any one remember the Caravan? She was what would be considered a stow boat; Aen 1827 she was regularly adver tised as the "last running," etc: Her regular trips from New Oi leans to Natctiez were Usually made in from six to eight days; a trip made by her in five days was considered :remarkable. A voyage from New Orleaus to Vicksburg and back,- hjcTading stoppages, generally entitled the officers and crew to" a

: month's wages. Whether the Caravan ever 'achieved the. feat of a voyage to the Falls, Louisville,) I have never -learned; if she . did, she must have "had a tifne of it!"

Jtwas tny fale to take passage in this boat, The Captain was a goodratured, easy-going man, careful of the ' comfort of his passen gers, and exceedingly fond of the game of ;brag. . .We Tiad been out a little more than 'fiWtiays; erud we were in hopes of seeing the bluffs of Natchez on the next day. Our 'wood was-getting low, and night coming on. The pilot on duty above, (the other pilot: he'd 'three aces at the lime; .and was just Calling out the Captain, who ''went it strong" 'on three kings.) 'sent down word th'at" the, mate had reported the stocKol wood reduced to half a card. The worthy Captain excused himself " to the pilot whose watch was below, and 'the two passengers who made up Ahe party and hurried to the deck, where he soon diWcove led, by the land-marks, that we were about half a mile from a woodyard, be said was situated "right round yorider point."

"Buf,,r muttered the Captaury don t much: like to take wood of the yellow-faced old 'scoundrel who wns it he always charges ,a quarter of a'dollar'more than anyone else; however, there's no other chaucei" The ' boat was pushed to her utmost, and, in a' little less than an hour, when our fuel was abtut giving out, we made the point, and our :cables were out and fastened to trees, alongside of a good sized wood-pile.

' "Hollo, Colonel ! hd w d'ye' sell your wood this timet''.' ' A yellow-faced old gentleman, wit!) a two " weeks' beard, strings over his shoulders hold ing up to his ami-pits a pair of copperas Co lored linsey-woolsey pants', the iegsof which reached a very little below the knee; shoes without stockings r"a - laded, troad-bri tinned haf, which had once been black, and a pipe In his mouth casting a glance at the empty guards of our boat, and uttering a grunt as he rose from iastenin'r our ""spr'inc-hne, 'an swered : . ;" " -' '-' . "Why, Captain, we must charge yon ilirce ar.dtt quarter Tins ''tune,.',. ' - "The d 11" replied the Captain (Cap lalns did Ewear a little in those days) "what's the odd quarter for; I sfhould like to know? Yj;ii only charged methreeas I went down." "u hv, Capting," brawled out the wood merchant, with a sort of leer on his yellow countenance, which clearly indicated that iis wood was as good as sold, "Wood's riz since you went down two.-weeks. ago; besides, you are kwar that yon very seldom stop going udwri when yotie going ; up, ybure sometimes obleege'd to give me a call, ,becase the current's against you, and there's no ether wood yard for nine miles ahead; and if you happen to be nearly outoffooef, .

' '-''.' '-'.' 1 In about hall an hour we felt the Caravan commence paddling again. . Supper was over, and 1 reiiied to my upper berth, situated - alongside riud ' over-looking the brag table, where the Captain was deeply engaged, hav ing now the other pilot as bis principal op poncnt; We torrned on quietly and seem ed to" be going at a good rate. ' "How does that wood burn? inquired the Captain of the mate, who was looking on at the game. . ; " . .! "Tisn't of much account, I reckon," an sweied tho mate "it's cotton wood, and most ot it green at mat. - "vveli: Jhompson ('uree aces, sam. stranger i n taue that A and he : small change, if you please its your deal) Thompson, I sny, we'd better taks three or. four cords at the next wood-yard it can'i be mote than six miles from here (two aces . , and a braggcr,) with , the age; h;tnd over . those VV' ' .' - The game went oh and the paddles kept moving. At 11 o clock, it was reported to . the Captain that we were nearing the wood yard,' the" light being distinctly seeu by the pilot on duty. ' . "Head her in shore, then, and take in six cords, if its good see to it, Thompson, 1 can't very well leave the game now- its get1 ting right warm! This pilot's beating us all . to smash." ' . . c ,Tbs wooding completed we paddled on again: , The Captain seemed somewhat vex- ' cd, when the mate informed him that the hrice was the same as at the last wood-yard ilirce and a quarter; but soon again ' became interested in the game. " ' I'rom my ripper berth (there was no itate t rooms then) 1 could observe the movements of the players,' 4I1 the contentions appeared to be between tli8 Captain and the Pilots, (ihe latter personages took it turn and turn , ,bout, steering and playing brag.) one of them almost invariably winning; while the two passengers merely went through the Ceremony of dealing, cutting, 3 nd paying up their '"antics.'" They were anxious to learn .1 1 j: j i ... :.i r : uic jjuujc uiu uicj uiu team 11. vuto iu . a while indeed, seeing ihey had two aces ' ' arid a rtriirr'.Tor. tlifiil tvotild ypiitmp lwf of . to- 17 " - five or' len dollars, but they were always compelled to" back out be ore the , tremendous bragging of the Captain or pilot- or if they did tentpie to "call out;? on "two bullits and a bragger," they bad the mortification to find cne of the officers had the same kind of a hand, and were more venerable! Still, wfth all these disadvantages,, they coniinnrrl nlavimr tlino ttnn(iH in L.,.' Ka ' " J O J ...-wv iv faill 1113 .game. '' It must be recollected, that the incident here telated, took place 17 years ago. Within the last 10 years, '-although I have travelled en hundreds of boats, I have not seen an officer of a boat play a card.

At 2 o'clock, the Captain asked the Mate how we were getting on! Oh, pretty glibly, sir,' replied the mate,

'we can scarcely tell what headway we ake making, for'we are obliged to keep the huddle of the' river, and there is a shadow of a fog tisiog. ' This woad 'seemsf rather better thari that we took iri at old yellow tace'sJiut wer"e nearly outagaiii, and must be looking out for more. 1 saw a light just ahead on the right shall we hail?' ; ies, yes, replied the captain, 'ring the bell and ask "em what's the price of wood up here? I've got you again; her'es double Kings. I heard the bell and the pilot's hail : 'What's your price for wood? A youthful voice on the shore answered Three and a '-quarter! ' ' " 'I) mit!' ejaculated the captain", who had just lost the price of two cords to the pilot tho strangers suffering some at the same time 'three and a cfuarier again!" ' Are we nevor'toreet fo'a cheaper country? deal sir, if you please better luck next- time." - The other piloi'syoice was again heard on deck-- - ."How nulch have you?" ' Only about ten cords,' sir, was the reply of the yoiithful salesman. -r ' y The Captain here told Thompson to take six cords, which would last till day-light and again turned his attention to the game. The pilots here changed places. When did they sleep, Wood taken in, the Caravan again took her place in the middle of the stream paddling on as usual. - Day at length dawned. The brag party broke' up, and settlements were being made, during which operation the Captain's brag ging propensities were exercised m cracking up the speed of his boat, which, by his reckoning, must have-made at least sixty miles, and would have made many more, if he could have procured good wood. It appears the two passengers, in their first lesson, had in cidentally lost one hundred and twenty dol lars, I he Captain, as he rose to see about taking in some good wood, which he felt sure of obtaining, now he had got above the level country, winked at his opponent, the pilot with whom he had been on very bacL terms during the progress of the game, and said, man undertone 'tort y-a-piece for you and I and Jemes (the other pilot) is nut bad for one night.' . . I had risen, and went out with the Captain, to enjoy a view of the bluffs. There was just log enough to prevent the vision taking in more than sixty yards so 1 was disap pointed in my expectation, we were nearing the shore lor the purpose of looking for wood, the ba nks being invisible from the middle of the river. 'There it is !' exclaimed the Captain, 'stop1, her!' Ding dins diii! went the biijbell, and the Captain hailed: Hollo! tlie wood-yard i! 'Hollo yourself!' answered a squeaking female voice, which came frorn" a-woman with a petticoat ever her shoulders in place of a shawl. 'What's the price of wood?"' "I think you ought to know the price by this lime," answered the old lady in the pet ticoat '113 three and a quartet! and now you know it.' 'lhree and the d F broke in the Cap tain 'what have you raised on your wood too,! '1 will give you TiiaEE, and not a cent more. , - - 'Well, replied the petticoat, here he comes the old man he'll talk to you!1 And, sure enough, out crept from the cottage the veritable faded hat, copperas colored pants,yellow countenance and two weeks beard we had seen the night before,- and - the same voice we had heard rcgnlating the price of cotton wood squeaked out the followingsentence followed by' the same leer of the same counteuance: 'Why dara it all, Capting, there is but three or. four cords left, and since Ws you, I don't care if I do let you have it for three as you're a good customer ! . Afier a quick glance at the laqdnvtfks.aroundjthe Captain bolted and turned in lo take some test, . . The fact became' apparent the reader will probably have discovered it sometime since that tee had been wooding all night at the same wood yard.- St. Louis lleccille. -. ." OyThe following bit . of fun is too good to be lost. . ' ' ' - ' From the Danvera Whig. r Important letter!!! .: MicnAEL Jtv XEARy, The top o' the morning to you Michael, and can'L you pick up your little bit of things, and be afiher coming over to this blessed counthry; and bring Swuey, aud Bridget, and the twins, and Pa trick, aud little Michael and the other twins and the baby and the rest of I'tm! And ii you'll be afther coining, you. can live on the best of paraties, that can be had for the dig. ging, and then you can have coffee and parales in the morning, and ' paraties and tay at night, and mate for dinner seven days iu the week besides Fridays, when you know the Praste won't let U3 liaveany male. It a land 0' liberty Michael, and we want the sons of the Grane Isle to come over and help us to make a President and what's that Pathrick? says you. I'll tell you Michael, li's the man that rules the Yankees,and gives the offices to the Irishmeu. I want you to come out this blisscd mouth, and help us choose Jem. O'Polk for President; and he's aa gude an Irishman as an ot us, only he wasn t born in his own native counthry. It's he that was spaker of the House; when they wouldn't let him spake at all. -.. , Now, when you come over here Michael, my honey, aiid the' big bellied man from the Custom House tells you "to hurrah for Hakery. he manes Jemmy O'Poke that's the son of ZakieTQ'Poke, hlg grand-father. But afther all, Jemmy aiiit the son of his own f 1ther, he's the darlint son of C ild Hakery Jackson, aud Ould HakeryV mother you know, was an Irishman. I tell you Mike, this ia a great counthry, where you can dig on the rail-road in summer, and live in the Workhouse all winter,for nothing al1,and no rent to pay.'

The Americans have got a great ugly thing

here, they call the Tariff, but what it is, it puzzles the likes o' me to tell ye. They sayii'aa fence across the b&rbors, and all around America. to keep- 08 everything the lankees can make theirselves- -. So you see, Michael it makes the American's have all thetr own work to do, and", whar is worst of all, they get all the mony for doing it. Now Mike, that's what I call chathig. It makes 'em live in their nate houses, and wear their good clothes and ate their coffee and tay, atrd drink their mate arid paraties, and go. to their' heretic churches; and aint tint downright chatingall the good Catholics in Kilmore. -Now Michael, you're a nice cobler, and no milherV son in Killmore can bale you in making a1j rogue, or taping a shoe, and, supposin you wants to make fifty brogues, for me and Rory O'Scrogging, and the rest of us that's digging 011 the Danve- Railroad. Don't ye just go to Kilkenny, and buy your leather of Tommy M'Hide, the tanner, and don't you git Benny McBlubber to curry it? And don't you go to Dooblin and get your lasts, and your tools, and yeur pegs, and your lining skins, and binding skins? And dont you cut out your brouges, and then git Billy Coon and Svvaney O'Toole that's glad to get tenpence a day; to riiake 'em up? And then don't you get M'Adze, the carpenter to make a nate box to put 'em in, and dou't you mark it on the top in this way? To ' " ' 1 ; ' Patrick McNoggin. , this sidaup, - .' fkom Kilmore, Ikeiand, to Patrick in America, 50 Brouges m Danvers. from Michael O' Flanagan. And then Micheal, don't you sind it to me, and I Rory, and the rest of us git our brouges for fifty cents, instead of giving Misther Man ning, and Misther Dane, the Yankee broug es makers a Dollar? No we don't Michael. And why? says you. ' Wait a bit and I'll tell you, my honey, says 1. This great lubberly Tarifl'sticks up his fence in Boston harbor, and stops your nice box of brouges and tells Pat. M'Noggin (and that's me) and Rory, and the rest of us, "you cant have your brogues until you pay Uncle Sam enough money to make 'em cost more than MrJVlanning's or Mr. Dane's yankee brouges do." .Now I ask you, Michael, aint that chating you? And don't in c hale Billy Doon, and Sawney O'Toole, that made up the brouges? And doesn't it - chate- Tommy M'Hide, the Tanner, aud Bennny M'Blubberthe Currier? And isnt it chating the Dooblin folks that made the lasts, aud tools and the pegs? And aint it chating the farmer that sells the paralies, aud the carpenter, M'Adze, who made the box, and t!ic Prasle you confess to, and tlie Doctor who cured Sawney O I oole's ninth child" of the typus taver? I say Mike dont you in Ireland, and En gland, and Germany, and all about theie, waut good houses and mate aud tay, as well as the Yankees? And aint the men that makes brouges in Kilmore, every bit as good as as Misther "Manning, and Misther Dane and ihe men's that doin their work? And cant them live iu,mud houses, and ate paraties without any salt, as well aa Billy Doon and Sawney O'Toole? Then come over and vote for young Hakery, that's for the repale of the Tariff. REPALE! is the word in America as well as in Ould. Ireland. "" From Yours -'.; PATHRfCK M'NoGGIN. - P. S. I'm done now Michael, and send this by the good Steamer -Hibernia", and hope voti'U get it before she gets jhere. The Yankees are coing tohave another kind of a steamer, wlifich aint no steamer at all, but it sends lethers by thunder and lightning, so Michael," can't I send you a leather before it is writ, aud get au answer before I send it ' Patiirick. Anecdote of the Pkestdent Elect. The following story is told by Col. Polk him self, and will no doubt lose' much of its uiquuncv,vheu deprived of that inimitable esprit of manner with which he- knows so well how lo point an anecdote: a! lac Gulsct 01 the 'political career of the President elect, he was a candidate to represent Maury county ia the State Legis lature. That county had been represented; for many years preyiously by lawyers, and the fact that the young candidate belonged to the legl profession was seriously urjed as an objection against him by .his competitor, who Was a fanner. - The Colonel determined to meet the question boldly, and take issue upon it. .: Having prepared himself with a pathetic appeal oil the subjecf, he. repiired lb one of hi appointments, where a large crowd had assembled to witness the discussion between the candidates. The Colonel was the first to take the stand. ' On the sfeps of the stand,, immediately below him, sit a large, ftt, good humored old farmer, fimili' arly known as "Uncle Billy Green." Uncle Billy. paid particularly goo.l attention until the Colonel came to that part of his speech where, in answer to the. objections urged agaiusl him, he alluded,mosl glowingly, to his profession. "Although, fedowcitizens," said he, "I cannot, like my competitor, boast of belonging to .that high and honorable cKiss of the community which forms the bone . and sinew of the nation the horny-handed and uoble-hearted farmers, of the country; although," said he, with increasing animation and kindling pathos.1 "although I cannot claim the honor of beinf a tiller of the soil, yet as a member of the bar, as an advocate, I can truly declare that my tongue is my plough and my hoe, and my head is my barn and my crib ' "Yes," said Uncle Billy Green, looking up and speaking at the top of his voice," "yes, Colonel! and I reckon your belly's your meal house!" The crowd went into convulsions, Uncle Billy rolled off .the steps, and the orator repudiated his "lawyer speech" from that hour. . : . Memphis Enquirer -' San Mabino, a small Republic in Italy, between the Appenines, the Po, and ihe Adriatic, is the oldest republic on earth. From a letter from G. V. Irving, Esq., to the -A-merican Quarterly Review, we learn that San Marino is only forty miles in circumference," aftd its population 7000. The repur

lie was founded more than 1400 years agq? on' moral principles, iudustry, and equality, and has preserved Its liberty and independence amidst all the wars and discords which have raged around it. Bonaparte respected it, and sent an embassy to express his sentiments of friendship and . fraternity. - It is

governed by a Captain RegenfJ dhosen every six months by the representatives' 6f the people, (sixty-six1 in number,) who are chosen every six months by the people. The taxes are light, the farm houses afe'neat, the fields well cultivated, and on all sides are seen comfort and peace, the happy effects of morality, simplicity, liberty, and justice. A Weddixg Cakd. General Santa An na, at his late nuptials, sent round thefollowing noie, wriuen on Deauuiui paper: "Oa Thursday, the 3d of the present month, at 7 io the evening, the marriage oi his Excellency' General of Divisions, &.C., (fcc, Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna with her Excellency Senora Dona Dolors de Tosta, will be celebrated in the principal sa loons of the national palace; and the Pres dent ad interim, &x. &c, Valentine Canilizo, having the honor to be godfather, suppli cates that it will please you to add lustre to such an august ceremony by your personal attendance. -' Mexico, -2d of October,',' CURING MEAT. Hams. The following mode of preparing hams, we haye practiced forseveral years, and caiuwith confidence recommend it to others:. For every one hundred pounds of meat, take five pints of cood molasses, (or five pounds of brown sugar.) five ounces of salt betre, and eight pounds rock-salt add three gallons of water, and" boil the . ingredients over a gentle fire, skimming off the froth or scum as it arises. Continue the boiling un til the salt &c, is dissolved. Hare the hams nicelv cut and trimmed, packed in casks with the shank end Jowu, as the pickle wil thus stiike in better. When the pickle, prepared as above, is sufficiently cool, pour i over the hams. They may lie iu pickle from two to six weeks, according to the size 01 the pieces or state of the weather more time being required in cold then warm wea ther. Beef or mutten hams, intended for smokinw and drying may be cured accord ing to this' mode, and will be found excel lent. - Much of the goodness of hams depend on smoking. They should be hung at such a distance trom the fire as not to be heatedThey should be huug up shank end downward, as this will pevent the escape of iheir juciesby dripping. Small hams, wanted for immediate use, will answer with two week's smoking but large ones, and those wanted for keeping, should be smoked four weeks or more. Different article are used for smoking. Perhaps saw dust lroai hard wood, where it can be conveniently had, is on the whole to be preferred. Corn-cobs are first rale, and are slid by some to make the "sweetest" smoke of anything. Chips of maple or hickory, or the small twigs and branches of those kinds of woods, dowell. . Hams are sometimes cured by adding pyroligueous acid to the pickle; but having had no experience with this made, we cannot ?pe.ak of its advantages- Another moJe,we have seen practiced, is lo smoke the barrels or casks in which the ham3 are to kept, and let them remain in pickle. till wanted only taking them out a sufficiently long time belore using, to allow them to draiii properly. The barrels are smoked by. being placed over small tires of chipj, cobs,. for sever al hours. 1 he essence ot stnose, whic i .is thus embibe 1 by the barrel, is imparted (o the pickle and theuce lothe meat. . Beef. The best piece for corning -are the plates, ribs, and brisker. Pack the pie ces in casks giving a very a slight sprinkling ( 01 salt between eacn piece, liieu cover ihe meat with a pickle made by boiling to gether, in tour gallons of water, eighl lUd. of salt, three, lbs, brown suar,' 3 ounces of 1 . ' 1 ..!. r... i - saiilicllc, 1 uuutt: usaiiaaiu iui juj ii.huiujj of meat. Have a heavy fl it stone 0:1 the meat, that it may be well omrnerced in the pickle. Bacf; picked, in this m inner will keep; year, and will rather improve than "row worse. . ' . Another mode recommended by a ge.i:leman of long experience iu the packing ot beef and pork, i3 the follovviug: - For one hundred pounds of beef lake four pounds brown sugar,four ounces salipelre,and and lour quarts of fine Liverpool salt mix all intimately togeiheryuid in pick.ing,sprinkle it evenly over the meat. - Add no pickle; the dissolving of the salt, &.C., with the fuices of the meat, will be sufficient. Keep ihe meat closely pressed togeiher by a good weight. Wet are assured that this is the best mode of packing beef that is intended" for keeping over the summer, and that ihe quality of the meat is exceptionably fine. ' . Clear Poks. 'For this we prefer clear salt and water. After having divided the hog, take off ; the shoulders and hams, and all the lean meat, cut the sides crosswise into strips, four or five inches wide, and afier covering the bottom of the cask with salt, pick the strips in layers, sei edgewise," as closely a3 possible round the cask, with plen ty of salt between each Jayer. When the cask is full and ha3 settled for a-day or two, put in cold water enough to fairly, cover the p.jrk. There is no danger of using too much salt tor clear pork no more will be taken up by the meat than wanted, and the remain,der is safely left and may be u3ed in pack ing a new parcel.

FOR 1845. PROSPECTUS- FOR THE SECOND -YEAR At the Close of his second volume, the mm' Sine having been commenced on the first of uarr, lB44.the publisher fiiide himself irre.i.. bly called on to express the satisfaction and gratitude with whicli he has beon filed by iht brilliant and unexampled success thar has attended his endeavors to win the public fvor. Notwithstarding the difficulties, disappointmenu and vexations that almost invariety follow the eamuiiEuineiii 01 new penodiral. in lh-nrA. duction of which there must be the harmouiouB cooperation of many heads and many, hands no withstanding occasional short-comings, especially in the pictorial department, which no care or dilligence could avert and no expendit . u - r- . 1 1.: n . uic iictcui, tus isuiuiiiwiuu magazine Das gone on steadily increasing in support and popularity from the opening number, and if . the unbought unsolicited testimony of the press may be received aa rttiswaved bv Dartialifv nd milii.....i friendship, the efforts of contributors and editor have been satisiactorjr to the public and accepted as fulfilling the promises made for them at the commencement of the enterorize. The publisher undertook tbe work with a firm, conviction that the great city of New York war the best and the true home for a magazine of general literature; not withstanding the failure ol many previous attempts to establish such a work, there could be no impossibility of success with sufficient capital, perseverance and the right slstem of management both by publisher. nntl Hfrr? mi in n In tti li if itii m . ; i. - T - j ....a vuilllbliun , U f - embarked in the einerprise and the result of the first year has proved, that bis judgment was , correct. - It has Ion j ceased tube necessary, or reasonsDie, that we stiouiu speak ot the Columbian as an experiment.. Al all events, it isnow an experiment substantly tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm a basis as any stmil er journal injbe world. Our principal cares'now regard not so mucn me ercunii nun grnunu we uuve "allied (lor we consider this sufncienily secure) as the extension of ourephcre of action and utility notso much, even, the mere enlargement of our subscription list, as the most suitable modes of catering for the amusement (and shall we say occasionally tor the proiit1)of our subscribers in die present and in the future the manv wlmm we have, and the many more wo shall undoubtedly hiivp. lime rolls an. We have made arrangements which, will enable us to present our. friends with embellish inenig of very superiou last?, tyle and finish. In this rejpect it is our firm purpose, if possible to outvie all competition. Our music a nit engravings, we confidently believe, witltiot be equalled very certainly ihey shall not be surnaased in real merit, bv those of anv mlior m.r. - 1 - 4 j - ----- nszine. We propose 10 give each month, two or more superb engravings, independently ' of two pages of music by the most eminent composers, and piute of authentic fashions. -- ' Regarding tbe literary and editorial conduct of the Columbian, the publisher does not leel called upon to say more than a very few words'. 'Pl.a nfln.ral tnfliinfftnipnt df lliia ijxnirfm.ni as heretofore entrusted to a gentleman posstsr sing every qualification for the tasli, and whit has given abuudaii evidence, not only of the highest ability to put forth a meritorious mag-, azinc, but of the ability to put lonh a inagaiiiTa exactly adapted to the tastes ol our readers. The publisher, therefore, has every confidence that what bus already teen done lor tho literary value of litis journal, w ill be done again.
