The yellow fever lefT, whole etrects tenantless:, the hearse was the vehicle most frequently seen in the sheets; who wore the badge of mourning on their arms, were avoided by their friends: and the fumes of tobacco and camphor filled every house in the city. While the pesti lence was at its height, a square repulsive man boldly entered one of thb most crowd-' mi hospitals, and bore out in his arms a 'vic tim in the last qaffron-c , d , ,red stage of the dsiease. For days and weeks, this man con tinned to perform the same terribl : : office of attending upon the ibiC4 6,nddying,diseharg iug the most painful and dangerous duties ( , 1 the lowest servant in the place. This repulsive-looking Samaritan was Stephen Girard, with his str,mg will, his bodily energy, his stout heart, and his one eye.— The hard, griping tra ler was not so spltioli after all.

On the afternoon ~1 the same day on which he otTered his services, Stephen Girard, a foreigner with no ties of country be,tween hits and the afflicted city, entered upon his dangerous ta s k. with all the perseverance and decision of his eh:G . :let:4. He soon established order and cleanliness: provided accommodations, And procured supplies: and for sixty days continued to discharge his duties at the hos pital. In eighteen hundred and twelve, Stephen Girard, the one-eye cabin boy of Bordeaux, purchased the banking premises of the old Bank of the United States (Is hose charter was not renewed,) and started the Girard flank: a large private establishment, which not only conferred advantages upon the com munity greater than the State institution upon which it was founded, but. while the public credit was shaken, and the Gutern• ment finances were exhausted by war, the Girard Bask could command large subscrip tions of loans, and put itself, in the position of the principal oroditor of the country. In eighteen hundred and fourteen Girard sub-1 scribed the whole of a large Government loan from patriotic motives, and in eighteen hundred and seventeen, he contributed, by his e unshalen credit and undiminished funds, to bring about theresumptiou of specie pay ments.

Stephen Girard began his remarkable trading career with one object, which he steadily kept in view all his long life—the making of money for the power it conferred. Ile was content, at starting, with the small protts of the retail trader, willing to labor in any capainti to make these profits secure. Ile practisel the most rigid personal econ omy; he resisted all the allurements of plea sure; he exacted the last farthing that was due to him; and he paid the last farthing that he owed. He took every advantage which the law allowed him in resisting a claim; he used men just 90 far as they would accomplish his purpose; he paid his servants no more than the market price; when a faithful cashier died, he exhibited the ut most indifference, making no provision for his family, and uttering no sentiment of re gret for his loss. lle would niggle for a Fenny with a huckster in the streets: he would dens the watchman at his bank, the custon;ary Christmas pre , ent of a great-coat.

S. Gur.r.N."— Although happily free, in our editorial ca pacity, from political embroilments, we must throw up our hat and declare ourself collie qui conic, in favor of our friend, A. S. Green, for the Legislature. He is the Co lumbia nominee, and we predict for him a rote which shall testify the esteem in which he is held by his fellowleitizens. As a nomination by his party in this county is tantamount to an election, we can safely wish him joy of his position as a legislator fur the people of this Commouevaalth. Since Mr. Green announced his intention of being a candidate for the Legislature we have heard repeatedly urged upon him the general bad odor of that body, accompanied with the remark, "It will do you no honor to go to Harrisburg." Were more men of the stamp of A. S. Green sent to our capi tal as legislators the standard sneers against our law-makers as a body would lose their point. We believe that Lancaster county, as a rule, represented by honorable, high-minded men. In Mr. Green her repu tes ion will be more than sustained. Tor GREAT DF1.E.1.; ter. Et ECTION.—On last Saturday evening the delegate election of the People's party was held at the Town Hull. and created an unimial excitement, from the fact that the Lover Ward was coitested, two sots of Delegates icing in the field, one party ntv,,rin g C. S. Kauffman 1 for the Log:Mamie, the other Col. A. S. Green, both, how ever. being pledged for Col. Myers, for Congrees. The contest was spirited, and i netswere , lrurnmed up front every quarter, the scene at the pens rather resembling a general titan a Ward election. The South Ward window was of eatirNe the centre of attraction, and around it clustered the whippers in of both candidates. Ku man lost his vote for want of a ticket, a plentiful supply of which we, with our usual foresight, had furnished. The best honor reigned, and the contestants smiled upon each other when they met. An un usually heavy vote was polled in the Lower Ward, and Col. Green's delegates, J. W. Fisher, IL 11. Fry, turid C. .1. Pusey. were elected by a handsome majority.

Gormley, of the green Isle, more recently from the Mayors Oilin. Lancaster was arrested by High Constable Derrick, and escorted to Justice Welsh's office, where he was charged with general vagrancy and semi-drunkenness. lie had been levying eontriubations on the credulous of our citi zens for the purposes of filling a flask with a medicated drink, which he much ,;fleeted ; In default of good and sufficient sobriety the straggler was locked up for the night, and next morning brought again to the Blue Front, where a commitment fur thirty days awaited him. The Squire was about render ing him into the hands of the officer, when the stroller opened upon him such a flood of genuine Irish eloquence that his heart softened and he relented. He played his other trump card, however; the wanderer was sternly banished the town. The traveler called all the saints to witness that he would never draw rein until he had put twenty good miles between himself and Columbia, the which place he magnificently cursed as a nest of stoney hearted heathens, who let hint suffer for three days with not a bite to eat except a pint of whisky. lie was head ed up stream and took the tow path with a vigor that, if it held out, would land him in Marietta before night. Tue SHOOTING SEASON.—On Friday, 20th inst., Jason Smith appetlred in a breataless state before Justice Welsh, and, after taking in a liberal draft of air, charged Lucinda Dawson with assault with intent to shout. After consultation of the authorities, the 'Squire concluded that inasmuch as the shooting had not actually taken place it was his duty to give the complainant "law," and a warrant was accordingly placed in Smith's hands, with which be set out in search of Hollingsworth. Meeting the "in defatigable" in the street, Jason drew his weapon and was about to instruct Hollings worth where to put his hand on the _Ama zonian assailant, when he was astonished by a summary "jerl.' at the suit of the warlike Lucinda, who had headed off her enemy by obtaining a warrant for his ar rest, in the south ward. The unfortunate Jason was caged fur the day, and the par ties all appeared in the afternoon at the Blue Front, where the following facts were duly attested. Both belligerents belong to toe Hill, of course, and are neighbors within a square's distance. Lucinda bore the reputation of a "spinner," and generally plied her busy wheel to the detriment of her neighbors. On Friday morning she ap peared at the Smith mansion primed fur a gossip with Mrs. S., but Jason barred the way and would none of her. After an in terchange of compliments Smith ordered Dawson off the Ranch, when the spunky female curdled and invited her opponent out, declaring herself a better man. Jason had a wholesome horror of tale-bearing, but no objection to a little tight so he "went in," I I and after a brief but sanguinary encounter ' added the conquest of Mrs. Lucinda Daw son to his already clustering pugilistic lau rels. Frenzied by her defeat, and the jeers of the spectators the woman flex to a neigh bor, borrowed a pistol and returned to the charge, breathing battle, murder and sud den death. Whatever Smith's natural con fidence in toughness of hide and thickness of head, he experienced distrust of their proof against powder and ball, so he in voked law in reply to lead. This is the substance of Smith's sworn statement. Mrs. Dawson's counterblast was prompt and very emphatic, but by no means con fined to the subject under discussion. As a set off to her character as depicted by the complainant she retaliated with a charge against him of all the Tow Hill, and several of the down-town vices. "'Squish, he's a qualsome, lazy, gam blin', good nigga, and does noth in' but win money from dem dat works fo' it; 'sides dat he's ocher been nulled to dat wife o' Nissen. No sir! An' den to conic sere an' elia'ge a keen' o'd'ly, christen woman wid tell in' lies!

I on'y hope de jes tics 'll vie you jestice, an' son' you to jail fu' do rest oh you onnatural ole life.— jes' take dis sheet off my head an' show you do knot do 'fernal nigga' made on it." The magistrate carefully examined this bump, his countenance the while expressing a powerful struggle between duty and re pugnance. The defendant was ordered to stand aside, with her cause rather damaged by the unpleasant shampooing: she had un dergone at the hands of justice, than aided in the sympathy she had hoped to excite in the notoriously tender bosom of the 'Squire, by the exhibition of her injuries. Witnesses for prosecution were called.— Dave Brown, of Sawney town, Joseph Still and Les i Henderson (Jenny Lind) severally testified to the threat by Mrs. D. that she would ••hab Smith's life hero' night." Jenny knew "all 'bout de fight, case I was close 'long side de whole time; not furder don do loath oh a alley off." —"'f co'se, 'Squiah, de loath ob a alley; de lentil oh a common alley." Here an irreverent negro in the crowd laughed, a demonstration which was promptly checked by a look front the Court and a sharp "silence" from ithe Jenny gave a withering glance at the of fender, and concluded: "Sutainly, you ign'- ant nigga, de 'Squiah knows all do time I mean de lentil ob a alley wide-ways." This little ebullition of Jenny's drew from the offending darkie an insinuation that Lind was incompetent as a witness, having re cently returned from a penal visit to Mr. Cadwell. Witnoss warmly replied: "Data a lie, anyhow. I'so been out o' jail fo' a long time—more'n a week, I reckon. 'Sides dat. I was en'y in fo' fightin'; I nebber stole chickens, no how," This badgering bad a prejudicial effect on Jenny, and so impaired his memory that the particulars of the fight, with which he was previously so familiar. were not to be obtained by any amount of cross-examination. Sufficient light had, however, been thrprnon the subject to war rant one of the magistrate's enlightens decisions. Lucinda was loquacious. Jason turned a deaf ear. Lucinda was pugnacious.— Smith punched her head. Verdict-served her right. Further, Lucinda threatened to take Jasoals life and took it not, therefore she was required to give bail in the sum of $lOO for three months' abstinence from threats which she will not or cannot make good. It is unnecessary to add that both parties were in for the costs. BREACH OF TRUST.-013 Thursday, 20th inst., Ezekiel Johnson made oath before Esquire Welsh, that he had been defrauded by his partner, De Laneey Stratton, of his share of the profits in a little business trans action in which they had traded. together under the firm of Johnson and Stratton.— Dc Lancey was duly arrested and brought up fur a hearing, and 'Zekiel called upon fur his statement. The latter is a slow looking darkey of a quiet, subdued black, while Stratton is a rather buckish, keen mu latto, wide awake and evidently able to "do" his partner very brown. Johnson's "plain, well-varnished, candid statement" was to the effect that "3le an' D'Laney, we went pards in de chicken business; wo raised chickens an' sole 'eta to de folks on de hill. We 'greed to fine half de eggs—dat, is he fine half an' me fine half—an' den burrow a hen an' set her to hatchiu' ob 'em out. Well we got de eggs, an' Stratton, he burrowed a hen—" The 'Squire here interrupted with an in quiry as to where the fowl had been pro cured. “Dunno, 'Squirtll, 'xactly who' do nigga got her, but 'spect it was somewha' in de township of' 'Wes' HompfieP—She look ma ' cin like dat breed ob chickens.

I kind o' doubted de nigga, 'Squiah, an' I look him plum in de eye, but he's 'ceitful as de dcbble, an' you'd 'a' thought butta would'nt 'a' melted, Ile looked so oncommon pious.

Now, 'Squiah, I jes ask you to gib me jes tice; I want de value ob dent chicken, or de nigga must go down!” De Laucey who had given incredulous at tention to Stratton's recital was called upon for his defence, and grinningly responded. yah! Johnson, does you think 'Squiah 'Welsh's got no better sense dan you hob? Dot's a mighty nice story to go an' tell a gentleman dat's seen as much ob do wold, an'.lill'd as long in Clumby as 'Squiahdo has. Why de 'Squiah knows dat's all a lie! You can't fool him.

I jist bought dem out o' a wagon down Locus' street.' Well, I know dat was a lie, 'Squiah, but I took de roostas an' I go down to Cl'rissa Ann's— she's right smart of a wench, 'Squiah!—an I say "Zekel Johnson send dose fowel down,' an' all dat, jis' what lie tell me, an' Crrissy sl:e say 'Shot. go 'long wid yo'r Zeke -Johnson, I don't hab nuffin to do wid no slid' nigga.

But be easy on him, 'Squieb; he's not a bad meaniu' darkey. Let him off wid 'bout thirty days." The magistrate looked from complainant to defendant, and reversed. Ile studied the two countenances alternately, bat found no encouragement on the stoical phiz of De Lan cey. A quivering about Ezekiel's lip, and a gulping effort to keep down a very hard knot that would rise in his throat, showed the 'Squire his man. Turning sharply on hint he thundered in his best Buena Vista MEE "You infernal niggers, 7ou stole those chickens in 'Marietta!" "De Lawd, 'Squiah, how did you know dat? Git down on yo' knees, D'Laucey, de 'Squints knows all 'bout it," and Johnson suited tho action to the word. Stratton preserved his coolness, but could not restrain an expression of contempt for Ezekiel. "You fool nigga, you hub done it. I'll steal chickens 'long aid you agin." Ia dc,fault of Lail the chicken-merchants were locked up in the cellar to await a ro quisitiog frogs th 2 gojor of AVariett"! 110USELIOLD WORDS.- The'rtew republisher of Household Words, Frederic A. Brady, New York, furnishes the September number of this valuable periodical. Of the charac ter of the work it is scarcely necessary to speak: its reputation is established and its circulation general, as it deserves to be.— The press of our country owes a debt of gratitude, at least, to this monthly 'which furnishes so large a proportion of the plea sant reading found in the columns of the host of American dailies and weeklies.— We are always happy to acknowledge our obligations to what we consider the best magazine issued. ATLANTIC MONTIILY.—We can best notice the "Atlantic" this month by praising among its generally excellent contents, a homely Yankee story, "Ann Potter's Les son," and the unusually brilliant paper from the, 'Autocrat." Tho former is a simple recital, but so natural and touching as to render it artistic. Dr. Holmes gives us, this month, the poetical gems of the number. The "Autocrat" has fallen into the toils of a woman, but we trust, fur all that, we shall not soon hear the poet sing his "Swan-song." EDINBURGH AND LONDON QUARTERLY RE viEw.—Leonard Scott & Co., send us the above works. The Edinburgh contains Hugh Miller; Thier's History of the Con sulate and Empire; The progress and Spirit of Physical Science; Canning's Liter ary Remains; The Health of the Army; The Celts and the Germans; Posthumous Memoirs and Songs of Beranger; Chronicles of the Teutonic Knights; Eroude's King Henry VIII; The Hindu Drama; Earl Grey on Parliamentory Government. The Contents of the London Quarterly are, Admiral Blake; History of Civilization in England; Iron Bridge; Life of Wycliffe; Professor Blunt and his works; Shipwrecks; British Museum; British India. COSMOPOLITAN ART JOURNAL.-A double number of this Journal has been received. The Cosmopolitan is the representative of the Art Association of that name, and with excellent miscellaneous matter, sufficiently combines substance relative to Art and ar tists to estc.blish it as a magazine of the Fine Arts. Its illustrations are certainly superior in style and execution to those of any American periodical. ARTHUR'S HOME MAGAZISE.—The Sep tember number Las been received.

Smith has just had built a new and splendid coach, which has been placed upon his Eighth-street Me, to run in connection with those already in active service. We have seen but few coaches which would compare with this, and none to surpass it, in neatness or finish, while for comfort, its arrangements are superb.— In compliment to a most estimable • and worthy man, Mr. Smith has named his conch "Col. Bartrans A. Shaeffer." Gen. Shaeffer is a resident of Lancaster, by the citizens of which lie is so highly esteemed that he has sucecasively represented them in the Legislature and Senate of our State, besides being honored with many other high and important posts. We congratulate Gen. Shaeffer upon the honor thus conferred, and Mr. Smith upon the taste he has evinced in the selection of so honorable a name with which to grace his new and handsome veldele.—Philadelphia Press. NEW SETTLESIENT.-A newsettlement has been started at Hammonton, New Jersey, which for success and progress rivals any thing we have heard of lathe West. There is a large emigration havingobjection to the West on account of unhealthfulnes, distance and association, which embraces this new enterprise. The land is in a genialclimate, and the soil is said to be amongst the best Jersey soil. Jersey, as will be seen by the agricultural statistics at the Patent Office, is the first agricultural State in the Union for the value of its products. Hammonton is within thirty miles of Philadelphia by rail road, and enjoys one of the best markets in the Union. The tide of emigration to this place is immense, as well from the West as from the North. Many of the best grape growers of Ohio have located, with a view to making wine. To judge of its progress, the population one year ago is numbered at only five persons; it now numbers over eight hundred souls, hasone hundred and twenty five building•, three stores, two churches, Episcopal and Methodist, steam mill, brick yard, marbleyard, public school, newspaper, some twenty-five miles of new roads opened, six square miles being improved, n new railroad station, and all the elementsof an old place. We are satisfied that this placen.ust possess merit from its unparalleled progress.—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
