From the N. 0. Crescen. KENDALL'S RIDE WITH JACK EVERITT. Did you ever hear of George Wilkins Kendall's ride with Jack Everitt? It occurred in Camargo, shortly after the battle of Monterey. Jack is a notorious Indian fighter and border ranger, and is as well known aling our southern fron tier as Col. J ick llays. himself. 11- is a particular f, i -nd of Col. Kintey's, the founder of Corpus Chiistie, and had accompanied the litter in some of the dusperate forlys upon the Indians and A1lexicans made by him during the !at lier stages of his settlement at that place. Kendall had heard a great deal of Jack Everitt, both from MlcCullough's Ran geri and Col Kinney, and had frequent ly expressed a wish to ser him and con verse with lum. Consequently, as soon as the Colonel saw Jack conic galloping into Camargo, he brought him to Ken dall's quinters and introduced him. George w:as delighted with thre appear ance of Jack, and said that he had fre qjently heard of him, and was glad to make the acquaintance of one so re nowned fir his deeds of gallantry and skill. Jack, beine about '-half-srapped," grasped the proffered hand and exclaim ed. i"George Kendill, ei? George Ken dall of the Picayune, (h ? Well, I've heard ofyou often enough, and I'm very glad to see you-you look like'a trump! What do you say, old fellow, let's have it turn round ! I know all about these parts, and can show yousomething more than you think of. Will you come? This was just whit Kendall wished, and he at once acceded to Jack's request and the lter brought up his horse, an old gray, blind one eye, but poWerfully built. "There, do you see that horse1" said Jack. IlHe's a tall kind of horse. Kinncy gave him to me,.and he .knows *'i at a hotse is. lie's not much to lok. at, but once git him a gotng and he'l. go throtigt helitseIif7you put hiln atit. aet .qp,A~eq IN 'l opt- WMilid, _!6,6d-VIl:.mo utis arrangemein andsaidi e 'ildalk' if Jk 'uld ide biutthiis ick would not hir-of and after some slight argument, Kendall finally gave up'the point and niounte'd the old grey while Jack got on behind. Gen. Patterson was at that time Gov ernor of Camargo, and had issued an ordor that no peison should ride through th,e plaza faster than a walk, and the sentries posted around said plaza were ordered to stop. all persons who should attempt to exceed the prescribed gait. Kendall was aware of this order, and when ie took the ieins of the old gray horse, had no apprehensions of his run ning away from him. But Jack, who was behind him, wore a pair of large Mexican spurs, and, wishingito show the running cabilities of his horse to Ken dall, he clappO his spurs into his sides, and ff went the old gray at a tremen dous pace, straight for the plaza. Ken dall tugged and pulled at the rein, but in vain; the old fellow had got the bit in his mouth and the spurs in his sides, and there was no such tning as stopping him. "Jack, for God's sake help nie to stop him I" shotuted Kendall, turninag his head round and casting an appealing look at Jack, who was digging his spurs into the horse's sides, "Help me to pull him up, wont you ?" Jack was a little deaf, as well as drunk, and thinking that Kendall wae praising the horse, only answered, "He is a tall kind of horse !" "Yes ; but he is going right .for the plaza,*' said Kendall, in a feverish state of excitenment. "Help me stop him ot the sentry mnay shout one or both of US," "Kinney gave him to be," muttered Jack, still under the impression that George was admiring the hot se's p)ace. By this time they had teachied the plaza, and the sentry's bright niusket, gleaming in te moon's rays met Kent dall's eye. "J .:ck-I say, Jack, catch hold of the infernal rein, will you? 'I can't hold him, and the sentry will fire ! Help me, will you ?" "Ohi," says Jack, lie hasr,'t got up to the top of his speed yet. liHe's a tall kind of horse [ tell you!I" Dig wvent the spuis into the horse's sides, and away flew the old grey across the plaza,'and was ought of sight before the-sentry had time to cock his musket. Kendall now determined to stop. the horse at all hazaids, and seeing a large pile of adobos (sunburunt brick) lying in the middle of the street, he put tho.old grey's head in that direction, anid ran him directly into the centre of the heap, Away flew Kendall and Jack inTone di rection, and away went the old grey i another. Fortunately no bones werc broken, and rising and shaking himself, ,George turned to look for his enmnan. ion, who was leaning up,n his elbow in the middle of the streer, aud exclaiming, "I told you he was a tall kind of horse !" Kendall was never known to ride with Jack Everitt again. RECOVERED LAKE.-A singular acci dent occurred on the Mkichi.,an central railway, It became necessary to carry grading or embankments of fifteen feet high acioss a low piece of ground con taining about 100 acres, nearly dry enough for plowland. When they had progiessed with the grading for some distance, it became too heavy for the soil to support, the crust of the earth broke in, and the embankment sunk down into seventy-nine feet of water! It appears that the piece of ground had been a lake, but had collected a suil of oots, peat, muck, &c. on i:s surface, ap% parently from 10 to 15 feet thick which. had become hardened ard dry enough fot farm purposes. Mr. Brooks thought it would have supported an emtankment of five feet in thickness, and that if it had not been necessary for them to have one much heavier, it would have sup ported the road, and the fact might never have been discovered that it rested on the sutface of a lake.-N.

Beware of Counterfeit8.-We have ber fore us a spurious Twenty Dollar Note of the Bank of Ge'orgetown, and understand that a number of theot are in circulaion in Columbia and in Alabama. To guard the public as much as possible against them, we n ill explain. as 'ar as in our power, how the counterfeit tan be disiinguished from the genuine. The pa per on which the counterfeit is printed is '' dakand harsh-the vignette of the female at ihe cop and centre, and :noreespecially cte ship in the distance, are badly execu ted-the numerals XX, end the general engraving has also a darker shade. Thte signature of cte Cashier is wvell done, and that of the President passably, although more lightly written on the spurious thans he genuitne. 'rThe counterfeit is made payable to A. G. Rosa. This gentleman- . is t he Cashier of thte Charleston Bank, and the name has been probably inserted in this case witht deceptive views. To those who are not critical in their knowledge hs to counterfeits, and have no genuine note oJf the samte denomination before them, we would suggest that the paper and the vignette and ship are the . most distinguishtable marks by which to ' judge whteter the note is counterfeit or - uot.
