A Si.'ii 'J'ar.Asi n y Operation.— An agent
of the National Government, in Tiiskalonsa, n
few '•ccks ago, received into his possession a eon
siilernlilequantity of specie, from one of theSuh-
TrcasUrics there, and transported it in a curt in
the northern part of the Stale, at an expense of
some 510 In iho GovcrnmenCTor cart hire. The
agent in thisjaplendid fiscal operation, for fear of
being rubbed, drove the carl through Talladega,
a good many miles out of his wav; and when he
arrived at his Journey’s end, ho w ished to pay the
cart-man for iris services in "rags.’' The cart
man, however, swore he would dnvo the carl
hack, with its precious depoailes, if ho was not
paid, according to contract, in the “constitutional
currency,” which was then reluctantly counted
out to him!! Here is a practical and beautiful
illustration of the efficiency and economy of the
Sub-Treasury Scheme! The Tuscaloosa Intelli
gencer, from which wo gather these facts, does
not tell us what was dune with Iho specie when
it got to its journey’s end, but wo venture to pre
dict that it will turn out, when the truth is told,
that the “hard money” was used for some office
! holding speculation. This caning of specie
through the country proves what Mr, McDuffie
asserted in a late letter, that "it is not our cur
vcncy,”—.Mobile .Mercantile . Jilvertiser.
Who ark the Democrats'! —The Trenton
State Gazette makes the following significant
statement, on this subject:
In 179!). there wi re but seventeen democratic
voles given at the Trenton poll. These were the
nucleus and origin of the party hero. It is a
most remarkable fact, and it stands, an incontro
vertible evidence of the dishonesty of the preten
sions of the “modern democracy,” that every one
of the “old seventeen” democrats now living,
(and thoio are nine of them) is a whig—and
hears himself daily denounced os a federalist by
the party whose leaders arc Wall, Vroom, Green,
Armstrong, &c. ! !
The Momon Troubles. — Wo were politely
furnished yesterday, says the Si. Louis Bulletin
ot the 30th, with the following extract of a letter
to a gentleman in ibis city, dated
Lexington, Mo., Sept, 14.
There is nothing of any account byway ot
news, unless I mention the Mormon dilficuby, of
which I suppose you receive exaggerated ae.
counts. I returned yesterday from an excursion
on business into the western part of Kay county
and found Iho people all in arms. A company of
about two hundred and fifty left here yesterday
tinder command of General Atchison of Idhcrty.
I conversed with him upon the subject, and find
he intends, if possible, to prevent the effusion of
blooJ; !"U the citizens generally aro of opinion
that there mil a FOVCrO battle.
A force from Clay Gfonty started two days
since; also from Carroll and jl.J v,l " 9 > fully bent to
fight. A company of some twenty Mien
this county started yesterday. The issue, will be
known in a few days. One thing is very certain,
unless the citizens march to the ground with a
very superior force, in case of a battle iho Mor.-
mons will overpower them. They are in com
plete order anil discipline, ami have every induce
ment for exertion, ns lo Smith tells them if they
arc beaten the y need not expect a resting place
this side of heaven.
The Hartford Times, the notorious organ of
the administration in Connecticut, calls iho de
poshes bank system ‘.a system fuunilcil in cor
ruption and -weakness." Angels and ministers
of grace defend ns! Who would ever hive ex
pected to hoar such terms of contumely applied
by a Tory organ to a system that was not only
foun ed by President Jackson but boasted of by
him and his live hundred presses and his fifty
thousand office holders as the crowning glory of
his administration ! ! !
And so the great system founded by Gen. Jack,
son was actually '•‘founded in corruption and
weakness” —was it? Very well, it we hear of
the old General’s bursting simultaneously all the
blood vessels in his body, let the editor of the
Hartford Times bo indicted for homicide.— Lou.

The Wetumpka Thaihni; Company. —The

and it will be perceived that they have com

TUfcir notes payable on demand, are promptly re

Sir 1 ram is Head, having returned to London from
Canada, is addressing a scries of letters to Lord
Brougham. In one of these epistles, he thus rep
resents the Tinned Stales :
In several ol the States, every male inhabitant
from the ago ol fourteen to sixteen, carries in his
besom a bowio knife to enable him to be Judge,
jury, and executioner of his own law.
The American people are, by nature, no more
addicted to the crime of assassination Ilian we are,
but they arc driven to commit open murder, be
cause tbeir laws have not sufficient power to pro
tect them.
My Lord, I entertain no unkind feeling towards
the American people; on the contrary, 1 admire
tbeir energy, tbeir intelligence, and their industry,
but I openly detest their Government, because it
is a tyranny—because it has been productive of
guilt —because it fails toprolccf life or properly—
and lastly, because it has either no power or uo
will to maintain its treaties with its allies.
I have reason to assure your Lordship, that the
~,,-mle of property in the United Slates secretly
delcsl iiW r Republican Government as much as I
do; and they u'j lot hesitate, when they arc nut
of bearing of the people, so avow, that their pos
sessions arc unprotected, and limy nro tired
unto death of the never-ending, still Lcg'nning ex
citement of elective institutions, framed for the
purpose of constituting a Government, which,
dealing upon tbo will of the people, is without
anchorage, ami which, whenever the popular
storm rages, proves to bo, in fact, no Government
at all.

Extract from Irving s Hot la/ AlquiiUuuh ,
The peninsula of California was settled in
sixteen hundred and ninety eight hy the Jesuits,
who, certainly, as far «s the natives were con
cerned, have generally proved the most beneficent
of colonoists. In the present instance limy
gained and maintained a footing in the country
without the airl of military force, but solely by
religious influence. They formed a Ireaty 'and
entered into the most amicable relations with lire
natives, then numbering from twenty.five p,
thirty thousand s mis, and gained a hold upon
tbeir allcctions and control over their minds, that
effected a comple o change in their condition.—
They built eleven missionary establishments'in
tiro various valleys ol the peninsula, which
formed rubying pines for the surrounding savages ’
where ll y ga bored together as sheep in Un
fold, ar.,l surrendered themselves and ilteir con
science in the bands of these spiritual pos'.ors. ■
Nothing, wo are toM, could exceed the implicit
anil ulleclioriatc. dt votion of iho Indian converts
to the Jesuit lathees; and the Calln.be lull, ,
disseminated widely through ihe wjldcrnc: <.

I i.lived at California to expr I them, ~mi lab',
charge of llie country, expected to find a rich and
, powerful fraternity. with immense treasures
hoarded iu their missions, nml an army of Imli
ans ready to defend them. On the contrarv, lie
i behold a lew venerable silver-haired prie.-ts coni
,n B hrt.nbly forward to meet, him, followed try a
thru:: j«1 weeping, but aubmissivo natives. The
, heart of the Ciovornor, it is said, was so muehed
hy tins unexpected sight,that he shed tears; Iml
he had In execute his orders. The Je-uita wore
accompanied to the place of their embarkation hy
their simple and nllcelionoto parissioners, who
took leave of them with tears nml subs. Many
ol the latter abandoned their hereditary abodes,
and wandered oil to join thr r southern brethren,
so that hut a remnant remained in the Peninsula!
The Franciscans immediately succeeded rho ,le
suits, and subsequently the Dominicians; hut
the latter manager! their all'airs ill. But two of
the Missionary establishments are at present oc
cupied hy priests; the rest arc nl! in ruins excep
ting one, which remains a monument of the
former prosperity of the order.
This is a nohle etlifiod, onco the seat of tiro
chiefs of the resident Jesuits. It is situated in a
beautiful valley; about halt way between the’
tiulf of California an •! the broad ocean, the pe
ninsula being hero about sixty miles xvide. The
edifice is of hewn stone, one story high two bun
deed and ten feel in front, and about fifty five feet
deep. Ibo walls arc six feet thick, and sixlcon
led high, with a vaulted root id stone, about two
I et an"'a halt in thickness. It is now abandoned
and deaeda'ig the beautiful valley is without an
inhabitant—not a human being resales within
thirty miles of the place!
In approaching this deserted mission houcc
float the i* out It, the t rove Her passes ox'er t lie mount
tain ot * in Juan, supposed to bo the highest peak
in the Calilurnias. i rom this lolly eminence, n
vast and ningiiitu cut prospect unfolds itself; the
great Gulf of California with the dark blue son
beyond, studded with islands; and in another di
reel ion, the immense lava plain of San Gabriel,
The splendor ol the climate gives an Italian dice. I
to the immense prospect. The sky is of a deep
blue Color, nml the sunsets arc often magnificent
beyond description. Such is a slight and imper
fect effect ijf this remarkable peninsula.
Uppfer California extends from latitude til deg.
10 mi it. to 4.3 deg. on the Pacific, ami inland to
the gufit chain id snow-capped mountains which
divide,it from the sand plains of the interior.
There are about twenty one missions in this pro
vince, most of whom were established about fifty
years since, and tiro generally under the care of
the I rnnciscans.— These exert a protecting sway
■over about thirty five thousand Indian converts
who reside on the lands around the mission hou
ses.—Each of these houses has fifteen miles
square of land allotted to it,subdivided intosmall
lots, proper to the number of Indian converts at
tached to the mission. S line are enclosed with
high walls; hut in general they are open hanilrts
composed of rows of huts, built of sunburnt,
bricks; in some instances white, washed and roofed
will: tiles. Many of them arc fur in the interior,
beyond the reach of all military protection, and
dependent entirely on the good will of the natives
which never fails them. They have made, con
siderable progress in teaching the Indians the u-c
-ful arts. There are native t umors, shoemakers,
weavers, blacksmiths, stonecutters, and other ar
tificers attached to each establishment. Others
arc taught husbandry and the rearing of cattle
and horses, while the females card and spin
wool, weave, and perform the other duties allotted
to their sex in civilized life. IS'o social inter.,
course is allowed between the unmarried of the
posits rexes ed'tor working hours; and at night
they are locked up in s 'palate apartments, and
the keys iHiveiod to the priests.
The produce of the lands and all the profits
arising from sales, are entirely at the disposal of
the priests; whatever is not required for Ihc sup
port of the missions, goes to augment a fund which
is under their control. Hides and tallow con
stilulo the principal riches of the missions, and,
indeed, the main commerce of the country. Grain
might bo produced to an unlimited extent at the
establishments, was there a sufficient imuket for
it. Olives and grapes are also reared at the mis
sions.
Horses and horned cattle abound through nil
this region; the former may he purchased at from
three to live dollars, hut they are of an inferior
breed. Mules, which are hero of a largo size,
and of valuable qualities, cost from seven to ten
dollars.
There ate several excellent ports along this
roast. San Diego, San Barbara, Monterey, the
hay of San Francisco, and the northern port of
Bondage; all afford anchorage for chips of the
largest c lass. The port of San Francisco is rather
too well known to requite much notice in this
place. The entrance from the sea is sixty seven
lu'horns deep, and w ithin, whole navies might
ride in perfect safely. Two large rivers which
lake their rise in mountains two or three hundred
miles to the east, and run through a country un
surpassed for soil and climate, empty themselves
into the harbor. The country around affords ad
mirable limber for ship building. In a word, thi-,
favored port combines advantages which not only
fit it for a grand naval depot, lint almost render it
capable of being rendered the dominant military
post of these seas,
Such is a feeble outline of the California crust
ami country, the value of which is now attracting
the attend n of naval powers, Thu Russians
have always a ship of war upon this station, and
have already encroached upon the California
boundaries, hy taking possession of the port, of
Bondago, and fortifying it with several guns. Re
cent surveys have likewise been made both hy
the Russians and the English; and we have lit -
tle doubt that nl no very distant day, this neglect
ed, and until recently, almost unknown region,
will he found to possess sources of wealth sulfi
cinnt to sustain a powerful and prosperous empire.
Its inhabitants themselves are but little aware of
its real riches; they hux'o not enterprise sufficient
to acquaint themselves with the vast interior, that
lies almost a terra incognift nor haye they the
skill nml industry to cultivate properly the fertile
tracts along the coast; nor to prosecute that I i
eign commerce, which brings all the resources of

The exploits of Famion, the famous lory

I helpless and innocent in cold blood—-the cow
! nrd ! lint he had that inminctive lone and
■ bearing of authority that kept hi-, people widi
! in the metes and bounds of his own despotic
will. He and his party were otic day resting
j themselves by n spring-; loung-lng litre and
: there On the green gras, in the shade of the
i Dees. One of his subordinate.:, a big 1 strong
man had got m■■ 1 with him His rage had '
been boiling in him for several day and some |
fresh affront at the spring' caused his anger to 1
become lings'.; LSI >1 lo* - lie dr< W tii - tv md and ;

the ground and h hand mider hie head. His
, 1 1cvoted bdlower >v. cre around him, an ! !•<
heard the click of their locks as they cocked
their rifles. “I.rt him.'done cied I'annon,
m lusqmck sharp lone, lie laid still ; calm
and sell possessed, with his keen dark eves,
liNcd on the raging liontcnmu, as he made a
tremendous plunge at his brnis'. )Uit when
the stroke came, its object swerved away like
a snake, and the bullied man pinniped his
sword into the ground.—Quiek as lightning
h'annon’s sliarp blade passed through his gig
antic frame “ I hit a and //net, 1 punish those
who disregard my authority !”—and his eyes
glowed and sparkled like a Serpent’s. The
man sank to the earth forever.
lint T'annon’s Mare’is written at the top of
this sheet; and she is the heroine of this pres
ent w riting. Achilles had his Xanlhns and
Malms, and I’odargtc; Alexander and his Hnce
phalus; McDonald had his Selim. I'annon was
a man of blond, like them, and like them he
IricMus lavoiitc and I rusty charter; and Fan*
non s mare was worthy of her owner, or ‘even
a better man.’ Me called her the Ucd Doc,
I from her resemblance in color to a deer. She
was a rare animal—fleet, powerful, intelligent,
i docile as a lamb—and her owner valued her,
I dare say, above king or country, or the life
°f his follow man. She bore him proudly and
fearlessly in the bloody skirmish or the quick
retreat, \\ hen he .stood in (he noisy council of
Ins partisans, or in the silent ambush, the
faithful brute was by his aide, ever ready to
hear him whilheisoe\cr he would. Mut J'.in
j non lost his mate.
Down on the cast of l.ittle Ulvcr the parti,
s.ms and some four or five of his followers one
day captured a. man by the name of Hunter—
a whig from the country about Salisbury,
fids was sufficient cause’of death, and Kan
non told the man ho should hang him. Hun.
ter was evidently n man us the times-, but what
could he do, alone ami defenceless, with a
dozen hitter enemies 1 It was a case of coni*
piste desperation. The rope was ready, and
a strong old oak threw'out its convenient bran"
ehes. i'annon told him lie might pray, (or his
time was come. The poor man kneeled
down and seemed absorbed in his last petition
to a throne ol mercy. Cannon and his men
stood by; and the trusty marc stood among
them with the reins on her neck. They began
to he impatient for their victim to close his
devotional exercises, lint they soon discover
ed there was more ofcarllf than heaven in
Hunters thoughts; for he suddenly sprang on
I'annon s mare, bowed his head down on her
powerful nock, pressed his heels on her flanks
and darted away like ilio wind !
'1 he lory rifles were levelled in a moment —
“Shoot high I shoot high !” cried I'annon—
“save my mare !” The slugs all whistled
over hunter’s hack, save one that (old with un
erring aim, which lore and battered his shoul
der dreadfully. 110 reeled on the saddle and
Kit sick at heart; hut hope was before Inin—
death behind, and he nerved himself for the
race. On lie sped. Through woods, and r.v.
vines, ami brambles did that poa crinl mare
carry him, safely and swiftly. His enemies
were in hot pursuit. They followed him by
the trail of blood from his wounded shoulder.
He came to I.iMlc Uivcr; there was no ford;
the bank was high, and a deep place in the
stream before him. lint the Foe came —be
drew the rein and clapped his heels to her
sides, and that gallant mare plunged reckless
; ly into the stream. She snorted in the spray
, as she rose, pawed the yielding wave, arched
, her beautiful mane above the surface, and
, skimmed along like a wild swan. Hnnlei
I turned her down stream in 'the hope ol
evading his pursuers; and she reared and dash*
3 ed through the flashing waters of the shoal,
I like lightning in the storm cloud.
Unt I'annon was on the trail, and rushing
, down the bank with all the mad energy that
the loss of his favorite could {inspire. Hunter
turned the mare to the opposite bank; it was
sleep —several feet of perpendicular rock—
but she planted herself on the shore at a
bound; ami then away she flew over the inter
minable forest of pines, straight and swift as
an arrow—that admirable marc !
On and on did the generous brute bear her
master’s foeman, till the pursuers were left
hopelessly behind. I,ale in tlie evening Hun
ter rode into Salisbury, had the sing extracted
from his shoulder, and after lingering some
time with the effects of his wound and oxcite
ment. finally got well. And dial gallant marc
that had done him such good service, he kept
:■ and cherished till she died of old age. '7(3.
