-most THE BOSTON JOUENAI.. .f STRAY RECOLLECTIONS OF A SLEKJH RIDE. . BV SAM SPBAT.' '".,'. 4"' Amongst the few things which Dr. Johnson repented of was having " once gone by water to a place he could have reached by land. . His opinion of sailing, as a sport, was similar to the one 'entertained by Dr. Franklin of sleigh riding. With all due respect to the memory of the learned "Bear " it has
always appeared to me to be an evidence of
long ears for a man to prefer land travel to a water trip. However, mere may be many such persons, and rational people too, although I cannot understand it. As regards sleigh riding our Doctor was nearer right. Still as that is a species of sailing, it is not to be utterly despised; for if in itseil it does not amonnt to much, it 'certainly promises a chance for adventure of some sort. I was once amused by a trifling incident which grew out of almost the only sleigh ride I ev
er sbipoed lor. It chanced some six or sev
en wiuters ago. Frank Foam and myself had just arrived
from Sumatra - His mother lived in Milion, and an the morning of our arrival he chartered a clipped horse and a light cutter, fur the trip out and back, giving me a seat along side of him. It was a regular old fashioned January day; the wiud was at that eternal point, North West, and a "nipping and an eager air" it was. During the first half hour, although we were running off twelve or thirteen knots, we made nothing ahead, except some few crafis bound for the city. Presently we descried something a little different, standing the same way with us. Upon Bearing, it proved to be a dark bronze colored sleigh with two ladies in it, and a gentleman (neatly rigged for winter) on the
front seat; the horse was a bay ot giant frame, and although not handsome, he had a
"go ahead" look about him, a sort of Web
ster expression. Just as we came up, his
driver turned him into a snow drift, to allow
a sleigh load of women and children to pass,
when he bezan to snort, and the thunder of
his nostrils started the crows for miles around.
"Well," said Frank, "It's not often you
see a pilot boat jua ashore to accommodate a fisherman or a crack Boston concern, like
this, so mindful of the bushwhackers, as to give every one he meets the whole of the road. Perhaps he has been luffing aud keeping away to try oursailing, if so he has found
a customer.
So Frank laid the siring on, and took the lead, r The siranirer dropped utiietly in our
wake and showed no disposition to change
his position until but slackened pace con , vinced him that wo were 'trailing for hiin''
and were inclined to see his leg. He then
spoke to the ladies, who drew down - their
veils, and he said to his horse, ,"l way there!
. And away tt , was, for no sooner weie the
words uttered, than the bay stuck his ears
straight forward like the bowsprit of a pilot
boat, and shot by like an arrow:
"See that fellow, make the dost fly," criei!
Frauk. "Wiio ever saw such a trait? 'Tis
neither a trot, p ice, or rack, but j a splice of the whole a fl ush of li;lituin;r h irnessed in
a snow squall." ,
Our companion carried all siil for a few
minutes, when he hove to to shovel out
but started again just as we came up wiih
him. . ' .
N When pretty well along . we' found the
travelled pirt of the road narrow, icy and
curving. '' There was margin -enough on
- both sides, but the absence of any Hack up
on tt, looked suspicious. Here we m ule
clumsv-looKina yellow slciglu with . exces
sive beam. The horse was of a dun color
(be seemed done every way,) and steered' rather wild. . Whether this was owing to the model of the sleigh, or to the fact that he bad served his time in a New Yoik ferry boat, we could not determine. - He, however, continued to shuffle alongywheu the bay came up at a round rate, and was gradually keeping off to shave close under his lee. - - "You see," said Frank, '.'the chap with the bay keeps his luff on this track he knows the road two inches more to the left and his trim - craft would be bottom Up amongsl breakers." - - 1 Just as the bay was in the act of passing the lumber-man smoothly, the dim made a lurch and fell aboard of hiin. To avoid a capsize, the bay was brought upon the -road ' suddenly, when his gearing caught ia the
tackle of the other, and the yellow sleigh, its nag, Jerry Hawthorn and his two sisters, probably went a little faster for a short time than they ever went before! Upon heaving to, it was found that the countryman's concern was a little injured, and clamorous and abusive enough he was in his demand for damages." The stranger, without heeding htm, passed his reins to one of the ladies, and seemed intent only upon putting the f -' lumberman in a shape to proceed. ". ' "I .say," said Hawthorn furiously, "I ought to have some remuneration for that shaft, which is broke short off; and I leave it
to these gentlemen to say wtietner a tioiiar is too much, considering the loss of time in
mending it, the board of these young ladies,
and the risk there was in case my horse had
- r run?" - f Why you land sculpin,"said Frank, "the fault was your own. The thunder and lightning horse was doing well enough until you drifted down upon him." . . .- 1 A momentary ripple played upon the fade
of the stranger at the inconceivable idea of
the old dun running but when Frank ceas
ed, be said to tne countryman, witu an air
of seriousness, "You say you want a dollar?1' "Yes," replied the other, "and that's reasonable when you think of the shaft the time the board, and the way you drove that
mad horse."
. . "My friend,7' Tejomed the other, "your
charge is not extravagant, but however cor-
' rect you may be in your estimate of " damages, you are unjustly hard upon my driving
The fact is, my horse has not been out for a month, and I am very weak from sickness.-
xoti know the Small i'ox" "What" yelled Jerry, retreating instinctively. " . . . ; , . . - "I say," continued the stranger, that the Small Pox (here he oered Jerry a soiled dollar bill, which he had been fingering for some time, and in the act showed the back
of his hand, purple with cold) not only effects a man's strength and vision, but his looks. - That however, is my misfortune, and not your fauit." "My good sir,", said Hawthorn, with a grin of horror, "put up your money, I wont touch it. 1 am satisfied you are a gentleman, and a good driver go on goon.",, ' , "I don't like to leave you so," replied the other, "let me at least take these misses to their boarding house, out ot the chill." "No, sir," shrieked one of the rose-buds "we are not cold we've got on double quil ted, stuffed petticoats." .... . : "My dear friend,'? said the " countryman,! don't stand in the cold any lonjer, drive on. I shall do very well the shaft is only cracked a little, and with some cord which I have, I can fix it in five minutes." , - No sooner did Jerry begin to hunt for the rope, than the citizen also began to fumble about the bottom of the sleigh. The countryman drew back, the tan yard grin had vanished, and a countenance in which despair and indignation were strangely mingled he said - ' ?-i "Stranger this is too much. Yon dr.ve
along like a whirlwind pick me up as a
steam engine does a cow drag me half a
mile break my f leigli and then insist up
on giving me the cjiall fox'.7
At every count, Jerry's wrath increased,
and at the close, when his eye fell upon a
bundle of axe-handles, which stood in his
sleigh, the expression of his face was abso-
utely terrific.
"Well," responded the stranger, cooly, if
you arc quite sure that the shaft is not 'bro
ken short off, and certain that the young la
dies wsu't have to board out, why, I will con
sent to go only remember that I was wil
ing to remunerate you, although the acci
dent was consequent upon an infirmity for
which I am lo be pit-ird.
He then stepped into his sleigh and stood
along under easy sail, leaving Frank and my
self, more amused at the scene we had wit
nessed, than any of the readers of the Mer
cantile Journal will be at my faint description
of it. ' .

WHOLESALE PRICE Cl'RREST . CORBECTED WEEKLY FOR THE JOUESAX..
From the iVcio Orleans Bee of Feb. 18 FROM MEXICO.
By the arrival of the schooner Creole,
which ariived yesterday from Vera Cruz, we have received our files ot papers from that
city to the 3Utli ult., and lrom Mexico to the 18th. '
We learn but little from these journals of
the actual state of Santa Anna, although we
are left to infer that-' he was still in prison
awaiting his trial. On the other-band the
papers contain copious details of his movements' prior to the period when he was de
feated, and captuted atJalapa. I he circum
stances ot Ins capture are precisely as we
stated some eight or ten days since. His trial
was, it is said, to have taken place on the &d ult. - ' - ' ' ',---. . '
There is really little that is new or inter
THE AMERICAN MECHANIC. We cut the following excellent article from an exchange paper, without knowing to whom the credit of writing it, ia due: Among all the varieties of men that diversify the human race, there is no more honorable character than the American Mechanic. Free in his heart and unwarped in his prejudices; elevated above that condition of thai inferior political grade, in the same calling, in the old world ; removed from the seductive allurements to luxurious vice; depending upon his exertions for his support, aud feeling industry essential for
Llhe support of those-who live by ins energies,
always able to procure without aitncuity me shelter ol a convenient home, and an abundant euoply o( good things for the physical man, he charges himself without .anxiety with the expenses ot his family, and enjoys that measure ol happiness, to be had only amidst the duties and employment of a domestic life. Industry and economy enables him to set aside by littles, a score tor sickness and old age, and gradually
to add the advantage of capital to his skill and energies. Unshackled in'Uiouglit, he lorma and utters his opinions at pleasure, sees in himselt a guardian ol the institutions ot his country, and one of the governors of a mighty empire; he knows that the common weal is committed partially to his care, and must be influenced by his virtue and intelligence, lie is, in tact, one . of nature's noblemen; and 'if, with such advantages and inducemeuts, he does not improve by reading and reflection, fit himselt tor his high aud dignified deities; H. he is not independent in mind aud honorable in his leelings; it he is not a virtuous aud happy man, the blame rest on himself. . ' . ' It is the peculiar merit ot our institutions that they are all molded and fashioned by the people; it therefore becouiaa the doty f the people to prepare themselves for the , resulting obligation to fashion them wisely. -
We have lived but a single day in ihe age of
nations, yet all the jiiatui ity ot refinement, which belongs to the old world, is visible in the new ; in arts, in power, ia population, our equalled progress earth has never seen, ouistriping fan
cy's dream. It is enough, however, that we contemplate the solidity and extent ol the materials
in the labnc ol our national greatness; we must
build it uo and sustain it. It is la (Ins cenvic-

uAu infamous piece of treachery, an act of disloyalty without example, has recently capped the dim ix of the proverbial cowardice of Santa Anna, and would dishonor him
forever, if he were not already dishonored;
whilst this man was sending commissioners
to Mexico to demand his pardon, while lhe Government and Congress exhibited the
imprudent generosity to respect the liberty of a p evaricating minister, he, in contempt
of every sentiment of honor, surprised the

candidate. Such an announcement undoubt- emerpries, besides keeping the school child at
Pr!I tfirrifipd Mr. Jones. The Richmond other'. txosom, the apprentice, the govern-
district is Whig, and Mr. Jones, it is more than suspected, was elected last time by fraudulent votes. Mr. Botts contested bis seat, but a Locofoeo Congress did not see fit to do him justice and to send . their speaker home.' Mr. Jones has no notion of encountering Mr. Botts before the people, or of permitting the people to . decide whether he or Mr. Botts shall represent ihem. He knows Mr. B. is an overmatch for bim and that the people have resolved to have him for their Representative. WelJ, Mr Jones is a prudent man, and foreseeing defeat avoids it. . . 1 . t . . . Lou.
