 The Hamburger Humbugged.-We mem toned day or two ago, the publication i'll the St. Louis Argus of a correspondence be- tween five citizens of this place and T. Il. Benton, on the subject of the next Presidency. The whole matter was yesterday explained to us. The letter to Benton was hoGr. It was written by young boy of this place. who, without authority, affixed to 1t the names of two other boys, both WhtgS, and then su- peradded couple of fictitious signatures, and sent off the whole to the great humbugger.- To this letter the humbugger made duly a most grave and elaborate reply, and handed the whole correspondence forthwith to his St. Louis organ to be laid before the world as an indubtable evidence of the high estimation in which he was held by '' several highly res- pectable gentlemen of Louisville" The man has fallen to such depth of contempt, thatthe very boys in our streets make jest of him.

 WP. Taylor US. Eleanor Rezud and Geo. W. Rezud.-The plaintiff in this case was jour- newman cabinet-maker, occupying part of the house of the female defendant in Spring street. The male defendant kept a ferocious bull dog in an outhouse, and while the plain tiff was passing to his rooms, in the course of last June, the dog flew at him and bit him in the upper part of the thigh near the groin.- Proof was given of the nature of the wound, and also of the trouble and anxiety caused to the plaintiff thereby. For the defence it was set up, that the dog was not owned by the de- fepARpts, but only in the habit of coming on nalises. The Judge in his charge to S0 N kOssid. it was not necessary to prove s Hthe hanv vship-if person harbored, or \ Nfor two sinc9' about his premises dog that Yhouse in Whk had bitten persons, he must Y bereds RlldW0pr the consequences to them:

 e-'s. N ~ tWo countries on earth (says the N. i6rE Star] where gold and silver circu- lates, and bank notes are unknown. are Spain and Italy-swo miserable poor countries, without commerce and without employment for the lahoring classes, as the 10000 Laza- roni of Naples can testify. The two great, est commercial, prosperous, and fiourishing countries oo earth were England and Ameri- ca, until crippled for a while by the con temptible experiment. of Andrew Jackson and his hard money system

Did we desire 10 send $100 from New York to New Orleans, or to bring it from thence, we had but to step into the bank and it was done for one half of one per cent-that is for half dollar! And that without labor, delay, or risk. What is the state of the case now under the order of things? Let the owners of the $23O,O00 at the bottom of the Mississippi answer.

 Post Notes.-The Common Council had Q special meeting this afternoon, to take into the question of issuing small post notes to pay their debts It was decided that 1t was eXpedient that such notes should be issued. They are to be composed of notes ranging from % cts. to $2, redeemable in February next, and at all times payable for taxes. We presume they will be immed- ately issued to the amount of about $lO,OOO. This measure is good one. These notes will reluilV OaSs and if twill apa hla tba ~;tv l
