The Mississippi and Its Tributaries.
The St. Is).iis Christian Advocate of a late date,
contains a highly interesting article on the “ Topo
graphy and Hydrology" of the Mississippi Valley,
accompanied by a table exhibiting the Mississippi
and its numerous tributaries. Tho author was
unable to ascertain precisely the distance to which
each stream was navigable’; but he has satisfied
himself that the aggregate exceeds Iweni.'i thoueond
miles. From this fact some idea may be formed
of the vast infiuence which this stream and its
tributatics me to exert upon tha commerce and in
dustry of the North American continent. It will
be seen from the recapitulation, which we subjoin,
that the total length of “the Great Biver,” with
all its parts, is 51,000 miles.

The New Orleans Chamber ol Commerce have
invuiorulizcd Congress on the importance of re
moving the existing obstructions to commerce at
tbe month «t tbe Mississippi, and state that some
idea may be formed of the immensity of tho out
did current of trade through it from the average
annual quantity and value of the following arti
cles, which are the chief but by no means the
wholo of tho productions of tho South and West,
which seek their market through this obstructed
channel:
Value.
1,000,000 bales cotton $35,000,000
00,000 hogsheads tobacco 4,500,000
50,000 hogsheads sugar 2,500,000
100,000 barrels molasses 900, 0*10
600,000 barrels flour 2,400,000
375,000 barrels pork 4,500,000
59,000 hogsheads bacon 6,500,000
1)150,000 kegs lard 4,200,000
52,000 barrels beef 304,000
400,000 pigs lend 1,2b0,000
800,000 sacks corn 800,000
Making together, the sum of $59,904,000
Add to this a variety of other products, amount
ing by well authenticated records to $30,000,000,
and an aggregate of $90,000,000 will be shown to
lie tho amount of this outward current of trade.
They state also that within the last few weeks
nearly forty ships have been aground on the liar;
for various periods, from two days to eight weeks,
some of which were compelled to throw portions
of their cargo overboard, and others to discharge
ca rgo into lighters, tiefnre they could be got through
the channel, occasioning heavy expense to the
goods, and great straining ami injury, besides in
volving pecuniary losses which cannot bo estimated
ot less than $.500,000.
They further state that the duties of importa
tions on foreign productions brought into the
country through this channel within the last year,
and collected In tiic city of New Orleans, was
82,260,790; which, added to $700,000 calculated
there, hut collected in the ports of Cincinnati,
Louisville, and St. Louis, makes a total of nearly
three millions of dollars of revenue, which goes
into the coffers of tho Federal Government.
They do not recommend the undertaking of any
gigantic and costly work, with a view of perma
nently deepening the channel over the bar ; but
the opinion of almost all scientific men who have
given the subject their consideration, authorizes
ilio belief that an annual appropriation of from
sloo,t*oo to $150,000 will be sufficient to induce
parties owning steamboats, to coutract to keep the
channel open by constantly raking up the mnd, so
that the currant of tlie river can diffuse and carry
it forward into deeper water: and they believe
that such parties would be willing to make this
conijienvation contingent upon the successful result
of tneir work.
From the American national Preacher.
Daily Bread.
“ Give us Tiiis day our daily bread." This pray
er regulates the amount of our wants, and the
measure of onr desires. We are instructed to ask
only as we need ; there is danger in asking more.
God may give more, but it is not safe to ask tor
more, lest be should say of us as he did of his rest
ito and gamping people of other days*: “I guve
them the™ request, but sent leanness into their
souls.”
Wealth ia desirable, not for its own sake, nor
merely for tho wants it supplies, lu itself it is an
abstract imaginary thing, and where it is possess
ed, not unfrequeiitiy creates more wants than it
gratifies. It is desirable to augment influence and
extend the facilities of doing good. That accom
plished statesman and jurist, the lata William Wirt,
a name that will long be illustrious and venerated
in American history, on this topic makes the fol-
Ijwing touching observation:—Excessive wealth
is neither glory nor happiness. The cold and sor
did wretch who thinks only of himself; who draws
his head within his shell and never puts it out,
but for the purpose of lucre and ostentation ; who
looks upon tiis follow-creatures, not only without
sympathy, but with arrogance und insolence, as if
they were made to bo bis vassals, and he to be their
lord ; as if they were made lor no other purpose
than to pamper his avarice, or to contribute to bis
aggruudizcmcut; such a man may be rich, but
trust me, ho can never be happy, nor virtuous,nor
great. There is in fortuno a golden mean, winch
is the appropriate region of virtue and intelligence.
Bo content with that; and if tho hern of plenty
overflew, let its droppings fall .upon your lellow
iuen ; let them fall liko tho droppings of honey in
tho wilderness, to cheer the faint aud weary pil
grim.”
It is a sad thought that wealth is considered es
sential to distinction. It is not so. The voice of
conscience, the voice of reason, the voice of God
announces it is not so. Wealth alone is not worth
living for. Sigh not for wealth. Envy not the
splendor of the affluent. The most wealthy are
often most in want. “ A mail’s life consistent not
in tho ahutidatico of tbo things which he possess
ed).” No wise man will ever veuture to pray that
lie might he rich. Let a man bo thankful, if by ex
emplary ho cun procure a comfortable
living; ifwiththis bo can be cheerful und happy,
he lias tho earnest-of more, and what is of much
greater consequence, he has the pledge that more
will not be his ruin.— Dr. Spring's Discourse*. i
WiutEs Railroad —I’rooksss or the Work.— ln
order that wo may keep our readers posted up ;
upon the progress of our Road to completion, we j
have written to the polite and gentlemanly Kngi- j ]
ncerof tho work, Mr. Williams, to whom we are j
indebted for the following information : 1 <
There uro, at this time, eight miles of tho gra- | J
ding finished and "ready for the superstructure. |
The contractors design making considerable ao
ccssious to their force early in the suipmcr, and 1
expect, to have the line in a condition to commence i
laying down the superstructure by the Ist August.
Thu Cross Ties are now being furnished along the t
line of the Georgia Railroad in Columbia county,
which, together with tlie jron—which we learn is i
to bu a substantial T rail—will be forthcoming at
any day tlie road is ready to receive them. i
The contract for superstructure has been let to
Mr. John T. Grant, of Monroe, Walton County,
who will commence operations about tho Ist of ]
August, and bring to the work a force sufficient
to lav down at the rate of three miles per month ! :
until it is completed. ! 1
With those data our citizens mav expect to see j
tlio "Iron Horse” in cur midst by tho Ist of |
February, 1853, an event which is destined to i
open a new era in the history of venerable Old j
Wilkes, in which we hope to see her regenerated j
to tlio unexampled vigor and freshness of her I
youthful days.— Warhinfion Gazette.
Fmoimn, Accident. —On Monday night last, j

Indiana Railroad Bonds.—The N. Y. Timet of
Monday morning says : *
The bids for the SBOO.OOO loan of the Indiana Cen

There w ere bids for $ ',35,000 ovor #soo,ooii qf which j

The parallelism of the Coal deposits of Europe
and the United Status, is a favorite theme for in
vestigators. At a recent session of the Natural
Historv Society at Boston, Prof. Rogers and Mr.
Desor communicated some results which invalidate
the conclusions arrived at by M. Elie Dc Beamont,
in Ins e*sav on the "Ancient Mountain Systems
of Europe." According to our home authorities,
the epochs of disturbance iu tlie great Apalaehiau
chain of this country and the Antfcraeiferous strata
of North-western France, are dissimilar; an opin
ion contrary, to the arguments of the FTenuli savan.
The impulse towards emigration to tlie United,
States appears to he working among the Swedes
almost a* powerfully as noon ihelr southern neigh
bor. Tlie Gotkeborgt Handel*ncßSjofarts TUmn.j
has the following i . „ , „ ,
" Emigrants to the United States of North
America arrive Imre almost daily from the interior.
It is now quite common to see a whole train of
wagons olosetv packed with house hold gear and
children moving through our streets, followed by
the men and their wives on foot. Some of these
neco'e have just sufficient means to enable them to
secure a passage : others are so poor and destitute
that to raise the necessary money, they make a
contract wnh better furnished emigrants, engag
ing. in return for- passage money, to serve with
them a certain period a; laborers aticr their smval
in America."

should be put upon its passage.
The bill was then read, and Mr. Orr went on to
explain its object. He considered it the most im
portant measure of any that had engaged the at
tention of Congress of a similar nature; it being to
connect the Atlantic with the Gulf of Mexico by
means of a railroad across the peninsula of Flori
da. At present, he said two or three wnrsteamers
could cut off all communication between tlie At
lantic railroad and the Gulf of Mexico. The pro
posed railroad will shorten the distance and save
from three to fivo millions worth of property annu
ally shipwrecked on the Florida reefs. A vast ex
pense, he said, had been incurred in establishing a

liave to be sent tor the support of the garrison,

Expulsion of tiik Chinese.— From the corres

tlie expulsion of tlie Chinese gold diggers has com
menced in the interior. Tlie following is tlie let
ter:
Mormon Bar, North Fork Am. River, \
(Sunday, May 2d, 1552. |
! Messrs. Editors : The excitement in regard to
j the Chinese is rapidly extending along the banks
1 ot'the North Font of the American river and daily
[ expulsions are taking place. This morning some
sixty Americans ranged down the river some four
miles, driving off'two hundred quietlv removing
the tents, strictly respecting their pe sons and pro
perty, except in one instance, when a Celestial
seemed inclined to he “obstreporous,” his cradle
was thrown into the river. Tiie same company in
tend to proceed en masse to Horse Shoe oar this
afternoon to concert measures with the miners
there, to “start" some four hundred located at that
place. A band of music is engaged to accompany
• tlie expedition.
: The feeling is strong, and anything lut evanes
I cent, that self-protection as a first law of nature
i must and shall be enforced. Would it not be well
for your city government to take some action on
I tha subject, for you will certainly have a Hood of
i them from above and below yon soon. There is*
| but one opinion among the miners in regard to the
proposed monopolies and importation of Chinese
into the mines, atul nearly all of the eighty or nine
ty thousand American miners are fully determined
to submit no longer to have the public lands rob- i
bed of their only treasure. Yours, in haste, as I j
| accompany the expedition down the river. !
■ Tiie citizens of Fan Francisco have memorialized !
the Legislature in favor of the Chinese. The me- j
morial says:
That the emigration of the Chinese to this coun
try is productive of great pfofit to ns, and we be
lieve of great benefit to the mining and agrienl
i tural interests in our state; that they are a peaceable
j industrious and law obeying people; that many ot
I them are merchants and citizens of respectable .
1 standing and considerable capital in California; !
I that we believe, ilom what some of us know who
have lived in China, that the reflex action of tiie
gold rniues of California, and the system of Arneri
. can free principles of government and trade, wit
nessed bv these people in our midst, will be in
the highest degree benefit.•> to tlie enlightening
and liberalizing of Asia; and particularly of the
immeuse Empire of China, lying withm thirty
five days distance from our shores, aud nearly as
large as our country, and containing over 250 mil
lions of men of highly civilized habits, of immense
trade and commerce, and capable of indefinite ex
tension and expension.
Tiiat this trade and commerce, by kindness,
liberality and generous dealings, will in a few
years, under the guidance of our energetic aud en
terprising countrymen, pass through the golden
gates of San Franc sco. and the golden hills of Cali
fornia, enriching in this State to an extent uncon
ceived now by our living citizens. That if we check
or damage this system, just now in its infaucy, by
establishing ignorant or hasty laws and restric
tions, wc may injure ourselves to a degree o v
reparable by years of easeless longings, of wer -
itig desires,’of’ that which we had destroyed by our
folly—so common in the affairs of States and of
men. and well known in the experience of this
California.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE INTERIOR.
Osx Hfnndred *xr> Fiftt Indians Killed.—We
I learn of the killing of nearly one hundred and fii.y
I Indians by a company of citizens of Trinity county,
uu Jer the command of Sheriff Dixon, recently. It
i was supposed that these were the Indians who
' murdered Mr. Anderson a short time since. The
; following is the account of the affair: “The com
j pany tLat went in pursuit of the Indians returned
i to-day, having been absent just a week. They had
j little difficulty in following the trail. The foot
i prints of the cattle which tne Indians had driven
| off with them, together with portions of clothing of
j the deceased; which they had found scattered
i along the way, and were readily recognised by his i
son who was in the company, showed unmistakeab'e ’
signs of tho path of those whom they were pursu
ing. Bat it was necessary to proceed with great
caution in order not to" alums the savages.) and
icoordingly the party generally laid by du
ring the day, sending spies ahead and traveling
by Right. "Ou Thursday afternoon, t*-e 221 ult.,
the scouts discovered the raneharia ii» a small val
ley at the base of three mountains o x the South
Fork of Trinity river. At midnight the company
I started from their encampment, Copt. Dixon nav
ing divided his force into three p -rties, so as to
come upon tie Indians from different q.iartcrs, and
surround them. When day broke all parties were
in the desired position, and on the signal being
given the attack was commenced. Each rifle mark
i cd its victim with unerring precis'on; the pistol
and tho knife completed the work of destruction
r I and revenge, and in a few brief moments ail was
j over. Oi the one hundred and fifty Indians that
' conatituled the raneharia only two or three escar
' ed, and those were supposed to be dangerously
1 wounded: so that probably not one of those en
| gaged in the murder of the unfortunate Anderson
i now remains alive. Meu, women and children,
I all shared the same fate ; none were spared, except
one woman and two children, who were brought
| back.prisoners.'’
The U.S. Consul at Acapulco had received in-
J te'hgence of th;- loss of the brig Ampbytrite, fitted
j out by a Nr. Edmonds, a: Panama, with 190 j*s
i sengcra and crew. She sailed on the Ist of Febrti-
I ary last, under tiie command of Capt. Kent. The
; brig was about ISO tons register, and by the United
; States laws could o; !y carry 60 passengers. When
she was 40 days at sea she was obliged to put into
i Iran Callus, somewhere on the coast of Salvador,
for water aDd provisions. The captain had no mo
ney, and had abandoned the vessel. The pessen
gvrs tubscribed among themselves SBOO to fi; out
their craft.
The propeller Monumental City, was sent from
Acapulco to San Juao del Sur, by Mr. Vauderbilt’s
Caen:, to take away 800 passengers who were seut
forward for the steamship North America. The
United States Court would admit the Monumental
City to carry 2>o passengers—but she took on 69<l
which, with a crew and servants, amounting to
nearly a hundred more, so crowded her, that thir
ty persons died in six days; twenty-two were left
at Acapulco sick, and twenty or thirty more pur
chased tickets on the Pacific Mail Steamship Co'*,

Another branch of the Panama railroad, from it*
present terminus at Frijoli to Tavernilla, wus to be
opened on the 28th of May ; and on the 15th of
J une it will be further opened to Barbacoas, about
ten miles from Gorgona.
An additional force of three hundred men would
be placed upon the work on the San Pablo side of
the river immediately. The Panama Star, after
remarking that every tiling in c nnection with the
road is rapidly progressing, says:
Tiie advantages already enjoyed by the mercan
tile and travelling community on the Isthmus, from
this great work are inconceivable; the trip across
from Panama, is already reduced from three to five
days of uncertain travelling, to a positive certaintv
of eleven hours. The mails, which nsed to be dc
taiued two days after the passengers, are now gen
erally delivered here before a solitary expressman
arrives.
In fact, travelling across the Isthmus hasalreadv
become reduced to such a system that in a day or
two we shall have a regular semi-weekly express
mail between Aspinwall and Panama—established
by private sbbsenptions—and we are fnrtherabout
to have the advantage of a weekly instead of semi
monthly mail communication with the United
States.
On the 22J May, the morning after the arrival of
the steamship Winfield Scott, at Panama, Messrs.
Boars, Valkeuburgh, Perkins and Duaudo, pas
sengers, accompanied Mr. Shed, the purser of tiie
Winfield Scott, ashore, in charge es a shipmont of
gold dust. On arriving at the Mole, the boat wus
surrounded by a large party of natives, who en
deavored to seize end carry away the gold. A
violent struggle ensued, anti the natives were re
pulsed. They then retreated to the shore and as
sailed the party in the boat with large stones. For
tunately all escaped with slight bruises, excepting
Mr. Perkins, of Sonora, who received a severe
blow over the left car and fell senseless. And
was eventually procured from Messrs. Garrison and
Fritz, and the gold landed in safety.
Messrs. Garrison and Fritz placed their rooms at
the disposal of the gentlemen, and kindly extend
ed every attention and assistance in their power.
From the South Pacific.
Ecuador eontl ucs very much disturbed and
war between that country and Peru is confidently
expected, at least if we may judge from a para
graph contained in the proclamation of General
Urbinas, wherein be says : “ A nation that defends
w hat we ure about to defend, and that has on its
side tho justice we have is never defeated; wo
must conquer.
The day of our victory over, wc have yet a duty
to perform ; we must inflict an exemplary punish
ment on that Government that has traitorously
put arms in the hands of our murderers. Wc or
the Government of Peru mnst cease to exist. Those
of ns who should remain alive, after the defeat of
Flores, will march against Peru, though it should
he to die in the first encounter; for if is better to
die than to live dishonored; and the Government

American' Travellers Abroad. —The number of
American travellers in southern Europe is greater
thi* season than ever. Probably no other foreign
country has had so many lepresentatives in Italy
during the post whiter. Scarcely a day passes in
which one or more citizens of tlie United States
cannot be found ut one or other of our hotels.—
Nine are here to-day on their way South. Amoug
them I may notice Judge Randolph, formerly a
member of Congress from New Jersey, who pro
ceeds to-morrow to Constantinople via Rome and
Naples. A gentleman who has just returned from
that tonr, mentioned last evening that lie found
Americans at every stopping place, und in nearly
every public conveyance. There were seven at
Constantinople; and IS or 40 boats that left Cairo
for the Upper Nile while ho was in Egypt were
chartered by joint companies of English and Amer
icans. It is only fair to add, that few realize their
anticipations, and that most come to the conclusion
that tlie pains of travel far outweigh its pleasures.

In addition to the dividend of 82 per share, de
clared to-day on the Nicaragua Transit Company, a
surplus of about §40,000 was reserved for the pur
chase of two new steamers for the river and one
for the lake. These additional facilities are re
quirtd by the large and increased business of that
route. The dividend is payable on a capital of $3,-
800,000, and ihe entire amount of the dividend
and surplus has been earned within the last four
months, in addition to a large amount expended
for bouts and other facilities for the transit. The
more sanguine of the Directors expect to declare a
dividend equal to the above, every three months.
Tho aggregate earnings of the Company, since
they were iu operation, have been about 8400,000.

Eigbteeu years ago, my brother and myself were
bitten by a mad dog. A sheep was also bitten at
the same time. Among the many cures offered for
the little boys(wc were then ten or twelve years
of age) a friend suggested the following which lie
I said would cure the bite of a rattto-snakc:
Take tlie root of common upland, generally call
ed the black asli, pool off the bark, ana boil it to a
strong decoction : of this drink freely.
While my father was preparing tlie above, tlie
slieep spoken of begun to be afflicted with hydro
phobia. When it bad become so fatigued from its
distracted state as to be no longer able to stand,
my father drenched it with a pint of the ash root
to asce tain whether l.e could depend upon it as a
cure for his sons. Four hours alter the drench
had been given, to the astonishment of all, tlie an
imal got up ami went quietly w ith the ffockto graz

medicine for eight or ten duvs—one gill three times

discovered on either of us. It has been used very
successfully in snake bites to my knowledge.
The Supremo Court of the State of Texas lias
decided in lavor of the validity of the charter of
tho Commercial mid Agricultural Bank of Texas,
at Galveston. This charter was originally granted
by the Colonial Government of Coahuila and Tex

lic of Tex .s. The quest’on raised was, whether it
was annulled by the adaption of the State consti
tution, which prohibits chartered banks. The
Supreme Court has decided ill favor of the charter.
Tiie charter was granted for a term of years from
the time when it should go into operation, and it
was interiupted at once by these suits. The ques
tion recurs whether its time runs from that date
or the date of this confirmation, which will make a
difference of three or four years, something for an

' Discovery or a Silver Mine in Southern Ilu
i now.— The Benton Standard says, we are credibly
informed that a rich mine of silver ore has been
lately discovered by Dr. Smith, in the vicinity of
Galliitin, Saline county. The discovery was made
by the Doctor in exploring a vein of lead, when ho
discovered what ho took to be silver ore, and in
order to be certain, he sent to St. Louis for a
> mineralogist, who, in analyzing the ore, extracted
j fifteen per cent, of pure silver, and twenty per
! cent, of iron and lead.

supports them is scarcely onc-quar.er of an inch

The fruit is supposed to be of the variety called

Fire !
The alarm of fire Saturday morning at six o'- l
clock was caused by the burning of an outbuilding
attached to the three tcnaineut frame building on
Tayior-st., owned by Mr. E. D. Hendry. Tue Are
was confined to the building in which it originated,
it being entirely consumed t the dwellings were
in imminent danger, but were saved by the timely
arrival of the Fire Companies. It is supposed it
was the work of an incendiary, as there nai 1 been
no person in the building since the previous night.
Loss trifling.
Another Fire.— We learn that a fire was dis
covered in a stable < n the lane in the rear of the
old Methodist Church, yesterday morning at 3 o’-
clock. It was fortunately discovered by a watch
man before it had made much progress und put
out, without any general alarm being given. The
fire was first discovered in some hay and must
have been kindled by an incendiary. It behooves
our citizens to be on tho look out, as from tho fre
quency of fires of Into there is every reason to sup
poso there are some evil disposed persons in our
midst.
Still Another. —A few minutes after eight o’-
clock last night, a fire w'as discovered in the car
penter shop recently occupied by Messrs. Taylor
it Sturdivant on Perry-at., between Bull and WJiit
aker-sts., and just opposite Mr. Stoddard's tino
dwelling on Chippewa square. The gallant fire
men wore on the spot as .-non as possible, and suc
ceeded in preventing the further spread of the tiro
to the east, thereby saving the Methodist Parson
age. On tho west it soon communicated to tho
largo wooden building on the corner of Perry and
Whitaker-sts., ktiowu as the Free School which was
consumed, llcro its further progress was checked,
but not without Lite almost superhuman efforts of
the firemen. At one time it seemed impossible to
save one of Mr. 11. A. Crane’s dwelling on the west
side ot Whitakcr-street. The’ Southern end of the
Free School building was occupied by Burrel La
thriip, city Sexton.
Mr. Crane was übsent at church when the fire
occurred. When he reached his house, bo found
it full of people removing his furniture, much of
which was valuableund considerably injured. Mr.
Lathrop’s furniture was also saved in a damaged
state.
There is no doubt but that the fire was the re
sult of design. The carpenter shop in which it
originated, had not been occupied for some five
mouths, and no one had been in it yesterday. An
other thing is equally clear to our minds—to wit:
that onr city is at this time infested with a band ot
incendiaries. The times and places and circum
stances under which tho recent fires have occurred
lcavesoareelyadoubtofthisfact. It behooves every
citizen therefore, to be upon his guard and to act a*
a watchman. Wc are glad that the Captain of the
Watch thinks of resorting to a plan adopted some
years ago of clearing the city of suspicious charac
ters. Let every person who cannot give a satisfac
tory account of himself be expelled from its lim
its.
The Great Alagon Case Id Florida.
This great law suit, (as we learp from the Jack
sonville Republican) involving the title to the
whole peninsula of Florida, and depending upon
principles in great part similar to those involved
in the grant to Count Punon Bostro, which covers
the residue of the State from the Alagon grant, on
tho cast, to the western boundary of Florida, on
tho west, was tried at St. Augustine, iu the United
States District Court for this district, commencing
on Monday, the 10th, and terminating on Monday
the 24th of May.
The form of the suit was an action of ejectment,
brought in the name of the present owner of the
giant, against Joseph A. Braden, a purchaser from
the United States. For the plaintiff, C. F. Mayer,
of Baltimore; Judge Thompson, and McQueen
Mclntosh, Esq., of this State. For tho defendant.
Bod. D. L. Yulce, George W. Call, and C. C.
Young, Esqs., employed by the United States.
After the introduction on both sides of a great
deal of documentary evidence, the court proceed
ed to instruct the Jury that tho act of 1807 was
applicable to the case—that plaintiffs had failed to
show a recognition of their grant by Congress, and
therefore, could not maintain an action of eject
ment.
The Court further charged the July, that if they
believed the Spanish laws were such as had been
read to them, then this was a grant upon condi
tions ; and, the Duke of Alagon having failed to
coiup.y with these conditions, tlie grunt had bc
como void.
That tho sale, ofllacklcv was in violation of Spa
nish law, aud the lauds became forfeited to tho
King.
That the annulment of this grant by the King
and Cortes was a good annulment in Spain, and
that the grant would not have been recognised by
Spanish tribunals; and, by the treaty, no gran s
were good against the United States except in so
far as they would have been good against Spain.
Upon all these points, the Court directed tho Ju
ry to find ageneral verdict for defendant.
"The Jury, accordingly, returned a verdict for
defendant; and the plaintiffs excepted to tho charge
of the Court—carrying up the case, by Writ of
Error, to tlie Supreme Court of the- United States.

From Gcyaqeil.—The arrival of the United
Slatee, says the N. Y. Herald of Friday, places us
in possession of advices from Guyaqnil to tlie Ist
ult. That city, up to that time, had not. been as
saulted by Gen. Flores. It was expected that lie
would soon commence active operations. The Go
vernment of Ecuador bad made extensive arrange
ments to repel any attack, and the issuo of the af
fair was doubtful. Gen. Flores had been too slow
iu his movements.
Since Flores achieved the separation of Ecuador
from Colombia, in 1830, it has had several leaders,
whose quarrels have very much retarded the pro
gress of the country. Tiie following is a list of
tho Presidents of that republic:—
Gen. Juan Jose Flores, 1880
Don Bocafuente, 1837
Gen. Juan Jose Flores, 1840
Don Vicente liosa, 1847
Gen. Aecasuhi,
Don Diego Novoc
Gen. Jose MariaUrbina, 1851
Altogether, Flores was President about twelve
years.
It will be recollected, continues the Herald , that
Venezuela also obtained her independence in 1880,
under Gen. Paez, now in the UnitedStatos. These
two gener is belong to the same school; and if
Flores succeed in Ecuador, Paez will return to Ve
nezuela. They were both soldiers under Bolivar.

AwfclCollieky Accident.— Eight;/ Lives Lost. —
A terribl coal pit accident occurred on Monday,
in the Aberdure Vulicy, Glamorganshire, by which
no fewer than eighty lives have been sacrificed.—
Thocolliery is known as the Duffyn Pit, Cown Each,
and is tlie probity of Mr. Thomas Powell, of the
Guer, one of the largest coal owners in the United
Kingdom. The cause was tire-dump. At the
time the accident occurred there were one hundred
and sixty men in the pit, und every thing proceed
ed in its accustomed order, when, suddenly, a tre
mendous explosion was heard by those surround
ing tho mouth of the pit, and the utmost constern
ation and alarm were at once excited. The works
were speedily surrounded by several hundred peo
ple, consisting of the immediate relatives und
friends as the miners, inquiries were at onee insti
tuted, and, after some time, a communication was
effected with the survivors, when it appeared that
a tremendous explosion of fire-damp had tuken
place, but which, fortunately, did not extend to
the whole of the works in the mine, otherwise all
the one hundred :trd sixty men in the pit must
have lost their lives.
The Australian Dioginos. —By the arrival of the
Statesman at London, from Port Philip, accounts
have been received with regard to the Victoria
Gold Mines up to the 27th January, being eleven
days later than the lust details. It appears thulthe
excitement was rapidly increas ng, and that übout
HO,OW) people had already reached the place from
the neighboring colonies. Special instances were
mentioned in whi h parties had obtained gold val
ued at about £3O per day for several successive
days, while even since the scarcity of water the
average at the chief point ofoperatfon had been £3.
These results wore principally obtained from sur
face diggings on a slope of the range not a quarter
of an acre in extent. It was estimated that since
the discovery the generid yield, including what
had found its way into the banks, had been at least
£1,000,U00 sterling, and that already, up to the 18th
of January, £66,000 hud been exported to this
country.
The following is an extract from a letter dated
Sydney, January 27; “The Yankees will soon get
masters of this market if we do not get a better
lino of ships or steam communication between
here and England. The first clipper ship from
the United States arrived here last week. She lett
Boston five days after tho news of our discovery
was known, aud made the passage hero in 25 days,
bringing news from England up to the 4th of
October, whilst, by the direct way, we have no
later dates than the 13th of September. A portion
of her cargo consisted of ‘wooden buckets’ for the
miners. 1 tliink we shall soon be sufficiently sup
plied with this article direct from America. I'lease,
therefore, not to send us any buckets of this des
cription.”
The Famine in Germany. —Sad accounts of dis
ease and famine still reach ns. Whole villages
are deserted for want of food, and in other parts
trade is standing still. Os 18,0u0 looms; in a
single province in Bavaria, almost exclusively in
habited by weavers, not half are at full work. In
W urtemburg dogs hare been ravenously devoured,
aud one even, far decomposed, dug up and eaten.

France.—lt is’now stated that Louis Napoleon

OBITUARY. ~
Departed this life in Columbia county, on the 25th ult.,
Mrs. NANCY COLLINS, consort of Mr. John Collins, in
the sixty-seventh yeftr of her age, for many years the sub
ject of affliction, the “ dread hour” whs neither to her un
welcome or unexpected. For upwards of thiity years a
devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the
purify of her Christian life was fully exemplified and at
tested by her peaceful and triumphant death. The reli
gion which had adorned and illustrated her character in
life, was only more resplendant and consolatory in death.
For many days preceding the sad event, she was calmly,
and resignedly, awaiting its summons. Full of Faith, and
radiant with Hope, she left the world with not a cloud to
darken the valley of death. Tho bereft family, the social
circle, and the Christian Church, have sustained a loss that
will long be felt and regretted.
DIED.
At the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. David W. Lowe,
in Warren county, Mrs. MARTHA BEALL, relict of Mr.
Natlmn Beall in the 68d year of her a».e.
In commendation of bister Beall, every thing may be
said that could bo said of the humble, faithful anu honest
follower of Christ. For, in her life were eminently dis
played all the graces which niuke up the Christian charac
ter. Punctual and energetic in the dischatge of duty,
while humility, benevolence und brotherly love were dis
tinguishing traits in her professions of piety. Though alto
gether Catholic in her feelings, she mostly loved the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, upon whose register she recorded
her name in her youth, and at whose altars she was ever
found when circumstances would permit, exercising a Salih
that was strong and a hope bright and full of immortality.
A piety and amiability of manners so maiked us washers,
could hut win upon all who knew her. lienee, her neigh
bors and acquaintances were emphatically her friends, aud
her children anu servants respected and loved her for those
domestic virtues which call forth und fix upon the uffec
tious, love und esteem. Hie bore the somewhat protract
ed and very painful disease which ended her existence, as
was to, have been expected from her life, with Christian
fortitude and resignation. The writer of this conversed
with her a low hours before her deuth, upon the subject of
appearing befo e her God in judgment, and she clearly and

WIN, infant son of Richard T. and Louisa J. Dozier, aged
1 year and four months. Grieve not, fond Mother,
For angel bunds have borne him
On Mings of light anAlove,
To a lurid of life and beauty,
And a glorious home above.
And I know that he is happy,
Beyond the land of death ;
That the brow of thy sweet Jesse
Wears the ser.iph’s shining wreath. 8.
