Origin of the Republic of San Marino. >
We cannot conclude our sketch of “small be- f
winnings,” without Hpeaking of a certain singular :
little Kepublio wbicn has Home olaim to be re- :
momberod under such a beading, though its his to- '
ry is no modern instance, and will lead us some c
fourteen or fifteen hundred years into the shadows 8
of the past. It is only bcfitiing tho antiquity of
tho tale, to say that once upon n time there ex- f
isted a certain peasant of Dalmatia, named Marino, 1
who was by trade a mason—a worthy, honest, in- *
dustrious man, and devout according to the light [
vouchsafed to him. This artisan was employed 1
in the reparation of the town ot Rimini: and F
when his task was ended, he retreated to a neigh- 11
boring mountain, built for himself a 0011, and cm- 5 1
braced the life of a hermit. Astor a time, hie 1
sanctity and charity were rumored abroad ; and n
the ,ady of tho land—the princess of Rimini— ?
visited his hermitage, was charmed by his piety i 1
and intelligence, and bestowed on him as a gin the J 1
high and craggy mountain wlioro he had fixed his ''
home; no very groat bounty, if wo oonsider that a
its summit, usually veiled in clouds, was covered
with eternal snow ; but Marino, or as he was now T<
Blylod St. Marino, turned tho barren land to good c
accouui. tie invited all whom he deomed worthy a
of sharing his solitude; many a lowly and home- 0
less peasant, many a wanderer seeking a preca- P
nous crust, to dwell with him in this eagle’s torie. rj
Nor did he, as might have been supposed proba ?
ble, enjoin a monastic life on them. On the con- ,
trary, ho assisted and directed their labor in the .
construction of a town, and in the cultivation of !’
such parts of tho mountain as were capable of :!
being rondored productive. A more useful saiut 1
never lived 1 As (hero was noither spring nor w
fountain on the hill, he taught them to oonstruct t(
huge cisterns and reservoirs, which they Riled n
with snow.water, or left for the reoeption of tho
rain.
They planted vineyards on the mountain sides,
which produced excellent wine, and became in a
brief space a flourishing colony.
San Marino gave them wise and justlaws ; lived
to seo his poor brethren prosperous and happy ;
and dying, became their tutelary saint, had a
church dedicated in hißname, and a statue erected
to hia honor.
Tho miniature Republic of San Marino existed
for centuries, free and unchanged, amidst all the
mutations of the Governments of Italy ; and Ad
ilisou, in his Travels, gives us a pretty picture of
this tinniest of independent States; to which
there was but one road, a severe law prohibiting
its people from making a new way up the moun
tain—where the ohief officers of State wore two
oapitanoi, (answering to tho old Uoruan Consuls,
but chosen every six months,) a commissary or
lawyer, a physician and a schoolmaster, —whore
everybody had “some tincture of learning,” and
tho ambassador of whioh, when sent to a foreign
State, “was allowed ontofthe treasury one ihil
liny a day /"—where the people possessed the
simplicity and virtues of the golden age, and re
vored for centuries the memory of the peasant
who had given their forefathers a home, and be
queathed to them an inheritance of freedom and
contontmont.— Chamber's Edinburgh Journal.
It is said that in Siboria whsn a marriage takes
place, the bride prepares tho wedding dinner, the
quality of which establishes her reputation as a
housewife or disgraoos her. If Buoh a law should
be proposed hero, it might bo resisted as being “in
restraint of matrimony.’’ The generation has gone
by when a woman, whatever her rank in the sociul
scale, was proud of hor cookery, when the break
fast table attested the skill of tho smiliug hostess
who presided over the coffee, and whsn household
delicacioß wore prepared according to certain reci
pes which were never written, and could never be
(allowed in a strange kitchen, for uuleas the flour
was measured in the “broken bowl” and the sugar
in tho “ blue coffee cup,” how could the prepara
tion bo expeoted to como out right t It is worth a
.journey into the interior of the Stato to find one of
those old fashioned breakfasts. Jobnny-oake al
ways smokes on the board, and brown bread, and
generally one or two other preparations of Indian
meal; —such sausages I you never get them in the
market, the butter and the cream, green corn in its
season, and new laid eggs at ail seasons. Every
thing simple and everything perfect, and what
alouo is bad, everything inimitable to city cooks.
Prov. Jour,
I knew the old man; he was rioh, and his riohes
were his God. I rode in company with him a con
siderable distance through his possessions. I
sought means to turn tho conversation from his
groves, and his orchards, his fields and his trea
sures, to something more serious and profitable.
Uut no—his heart was on these things; they en
grossed his thoughts and his affections. He was
between eighty and ninety years of age, and vet I
could not bring him for a moment to apeak or lea
ving bis earthly inheritance. To the babbath and
the sanctuary, ■nd ail tho things of God, h* was
an utter stranger.
It was painful to soe an old man, just ready to
close his eyes on all that belongs to esrth, refusing
to admit into his mind a single thought of death,
aud that eternity so shortly to be his home. With
a kind of melancholy satisfaction, I saw him take a
different road from myself, thus releasing me from
my fruitless efforts to direct my mind towards that
world where hiß real interests fay.
Not long after this interview, disease attacked
hie mortal frame, giving no doubtful intimation,
that the machine wnicb had been in motion more
than fourscore years was about to stand still. As
be lay struggling with doatb, he spoke of fields of
corn, end then said “ Bring me my bundle of
Xotft.” Inspecting one of them he said with ear
nostnesa, “I believe wo shall not loose it,” or to that
effect. While he thus lay holding bis notes and
obligations befere his face, in hie withered hand—
he died!
If a well bred woman is surprised in careless
costume, she docs not try to dodge behind a door
to conceal deficiencies, nor does she turn red and
stammer confused excuses. She remains calm and
self-possessed, and makes np in dignity what she
may want in decoration. The most sensible woman
we ever aaw was one who, when her husband took
us home on a wash-day to look at his new house,
never made one word of apology for the confusion
that existed, nor once begged us to look round.

A Wild Man. —A man named Williams was

on Monday, who may justly be styled a “ wild

anything but water. His meat, potatoes, end ell
his vegetables—cabbages, turnips, &c., are raw.
He alleges that he has not eaten any oooked food
for several years, and that any deviation from his
present mode of living would most probably cause
his death. He resides in lowa, ana is on his way
to Washington to make a purchase of some U- 8.

been taught to say and it could say little else,
“ God will take care of baby.” It was seized with

recovering from a dangerous illness. Every day it
grew worse, and at last was given up to die. A1 -
most agonised, the mother begged to be carried
into the room of bar darling, to give it one last
embrace. Both parents succeeded in retching the
apartment, just as it was thought the baby had
breathed its last. The mother wept aloud, when
once more the little crea.ure'opened its eyes, look
ed lovingly up iu her face, smiled, moved its Ups,
aud in a faint voice, said, “ God will take care of
baby.” Sweet oonsoliog word* ’. they had hardly

MISCELLANY.
Aa lav Meat of tke Battle ot New Orteam.
A British officer who was in the battle of New
Orleans mentions an incident of thrilling strange
ness, and one very descriptive of the Western
hunters, many of whom marched to the defence
of New Orleans as volunteers in the army under
the renowned Andrew Jackson:
We marched, said the officer, in a solid column
of twelve thousand men, in direct line upon the
American defences. I belonged to the staff, and
as we advanced we watched through our glasses
the position and arrangement of oar enemy with
that intensity an officer only feels when march
ing into the jaws of death, with the assurance
that, while he thus offers himself as a sacrifice
to the demands of his country, every setion, be
he successful or otherwise, will be judged with
the most heartless scrutiny.
It was a strange sight, that long range of cot
ton bales—a material for breastworks, with the
crowd of human beings behind, their heads only
visible above tho lice of defence. We could dis
tinctly see their long rifles lying over the bales,
and the battery of Gen. Coffee directly in front
with its great mouth gaping toward us, as they
waited to devour us, ana the position of General
Jackson with his staff' around him. But what
attracted our attention most was the figure of a
tall man standing on the breastworks dressed in
linsey-wooleb, with buckskin leggings, and a
broad-brimmed felt bat, that fell around the face,
almost ooncealing his features. He was stand
ipg in one of those picturesque and graceful at
titudes peculiar to those uatural men dwellers in
the forests. The body reited on the left leg, and
swayed with a curved lino upward ; the right arm
was extended, the hand grasping the rifle near
the muzzlo, the butt of which rested near the toe
of his tight foot, while with bis hand he raised
the rim of the hat from his eyes and seemed gux
ing from beneath intensely upon our advancing
Jolumn. The cannon of Gbb. Coffee had opened
upon ns, and tore through our ranks with dread
ful slaughter; but we oontinued to advance, un
■ravoring and cool, as if nothing threatened our
progress.
Ibe roar of cannon seemed to havenoeffec
ipon the figure standing on the cotton bales, bu '
ie seemed fixed and motionless as a statue. At '
ast he moved, threw back the hat rim over the
irown with his left hand, raised the rifle to his '
ihoulders and took aim at our group. Our eyes ,
»er6 riveted upon him. At whom had he lev- ■
filed his piece ? But the distance was go great ’
hat we looked at each other and smiled. We '
aw tho rifle flash, snd my right hand companion, ‘
is noble-looking a fellow as ever rode at the head 1
if his regiment, fell from his saddle. The hunter *
mused a few moments without moving the gun ,
rom his shoulder, then reloaded and assumed his J
firmer attitude. Throwing tho hat rim over his :
yes, and again holding it up with the left band,
io fixed his piercing gaze upon us as if hunting out
notber victim. Once more the hat rim was
hrown back and the gun raised to the shonider. f
’bis time wo did uot smile, but cast short glances “
t each other to see which of us must cue, and 1
rhen again the rifle flashed another one of us F
iropped to the earth. There was something most 1
wful in thus marching on to certain death.
Gen. Coffee’s battery, and thousands of mas- c
:et balls playing upon onr ranks, we cared not for I
-there was a chance ot escaping unscathed. Most c
fU3 bad walk'd upon batteries a hundred times I
core destructive without quailing; but to know I
hat every time that rifle was levelled towards us I
nd its bullet sprung from the barrel, one of us
aunt assuredly tall; to see the gleaming sun flash t
a the deadly iron catne down, and see it rest mo- r
ionlcss, as if poised upon a rock, and know when £
be hammor struck and the sparks flew to tho c
ull-primed pan, that tho messenger of death t
rove unerringly to its goal—to know this, and 1
till march on, was awful. t
I coaid sec nothin? bat the tall figure standing
on the breastwork. He seemed to grow phantom
like higher and higher, assuming through great
spirit. Again did he reload and discharge his
rifle with the same indescribable pleasure that I
beheld, as wo neared the American linos, sulphu
rous clouds gathod around us, and shutthatspectral
hunter from my gaze. Wo lost the battle; and to
my mind the Kentucky riflemen contributed more
to our defeat than anything else; for while he re
mained to our sight our attention was drawn from
our duties, and when at last he become enshrouded
in the smoke, the work was complete—we were
in utter confusion, and unable in the extremity
to restore order sufficient to make any successful
attack.
So long as thousands and thousands of rifles
remain in the hands of the people, so long as men
come up from their childhood able, ere the down
appears on the chin, to hit the centre of a mark,
orstrikotho door at 150 yards in the most vital
point; so long as there is a great proportion of
the republic who livo free as the wild Indian,
knowing no leader bat of their own choosing;
knowing no law but that of right and the honora
ble observance of friendly intercourse, America
is unconquerable; and all the armies of the com
bined world, though they might drive them from
the scacoast and across the Alleghany mountains,
wouldnot be able to subdue the freo-s ulcd hun
ter amongst the mountains and great prairies and
mighty nvers of the West.
Imports of Dry Goods.
The New York Journal of Commerce publishes
comparative tables of the inports of Dry Goodß at
that port, both for the last month, and ftom Jan’y
Ist. The receipts for September show a very
large increase upon the corresponding total for last
year, and still larger as compared with the previous
year; the amount being (3,622,786 greater than
for September, 1852, ana $5,176,050 greater than
for September, 1851. The following are the totals
of the imports of Foreign Dry Goods for nine
months, from January let, with the comparisons
to the same period with the preceding years:

This brings the total for the last nine months up
to $77,680,109, showing an increase of $28,096,616
an compared with the same period of last year, and
$23,083,247 as compared with the same period ol
1851.
The following are the imports of foreign dry
goods at the port of New York, for the month of
September, compared with the same month of the
two preceding years:

Total entered at
the port $5,106,054 $6,659,818 $10,282,104
If this increase is to continue much longer, it may
well be doubted whether the imports to come will
be placod at such a profit as baa been realised for
the receipts of the last season.— Baltimore Ameri

A Sunday Night in New Youk.—Tho New York
Times thus depicts a Sunday night in Now York
city .
“ Last Suuday night, in a walk from Nassau
street to South Ferry, we bad ample food for com
ment upon the fourth commandment. Broadway
was a perfect hell of drunkenness. A howling,
staggering Pandemonium of bestialixed men. The
sidewalks were traversed by men in every stage of
intoxication, reeling to and fro like ships in a
storm. The air was ladenwith snatchesot drunk
en songs, fragments of filthy language, or incohe
rent shouts from those who wore too drunk to ar
ticulate. Drunkenness in every dark lane and
alley, only discoverable bv its disgusting ravings.
Drunkenness in the wide, lamp-lit streots, stagger
ing along with swimming head, paralyzed limbs,
and oouutenance ot imbecile sensuality. Drunk
enness lying in the kennel, stentoriously respiring
its fetid breath. Drunkenness clinging to the
lamp-post. Drunkenness coiled up on the door
steps, waiting to be robbod or murdered. Drunk
enness screaming on the roofs of solitary omnibus
es, or banging half out of the windows of belated
hackney cabs, and disturbing the night with inco
herent melodies. Drunkenness walking apparent
ly steadily along, laughing idiotically to i self, and
thickly rehearsing the drunken jokes, the drunken
songs, the drunken indeoencies, that adorned the
ounvivial meeting it has just left. Drunkenness
waiting at the ferries, snoring on benches, quar
railing with itß drunken oompany, or falling off
the edge of the pier into tho water, and being fish
ed out half sober.
“ This is no exaggeration of the panorama of in
toxioation, which we saw, free of charge, on the
Sunday night in question. We shuddered as we
wont along, and Hie question suggested itself to
our minds, ‘is the entire city drunk V On reach
ing the South Ferry, we saw drankonness in its
collective form. Out of twenty or thirty people
there collected, there was, beside the writer, only
one sober person, and that was a woman."

tible degrees into russet brown. Through crevice
and corner the wind sighs in mournful cadences,
as if singing the solemn requiem of the departing
year. The naked boughs of trees peep out from
their variegated drapery, and the crisp and fallen
leaf toys gracefully with the zephyr—the chilly air
creeps stealthily over and among the rustling
foliage, and brook and rivulet dashes joyously on
ward, “making music with the enamelled stones.”
We have amvedatthe end of a season, marked
in a peculiar manner, by the visitations of angry
Providence. Draw-bridges have yawned in the
path of steam engine. The monstrous motor of
civilization, scorning the efforts of man to bind it
down with steel and iron.has scattered to the winds
great ships, and marked the scene of its victories
with hecatombs ofghastly corpses. The greatlines
of communication and travel are red all over with
the blood of martyrs. Opposing trains, in mighty
madness, have rushed toeach other’s embrace, and
scarcely can there be found a burial place, in all
onr land, that is not the resting place of some mur
dered victim of “disastrous accident.” There are
vacant places at many a board and desolation at
many a hearthstone, where sorrow was unknown,
when the spring-flower blossomed in our north
ern home.
Yonder, in a beautiful southern city, strong man
and maiden have gone down before the breath of
pestilence. No sound disturbs the noiseless mo
notony of its streets, save the slow rumbling of a
funeral cortege, that winds towards “the cities of
the dead.” Plague stricken and dismayed, the
flying population have carried with them the mi
asma of death to sister States, and the valley of the
great “Father of Waters” is a Golgotha, as baleful
as the Upas tree—death-dealing like the sirocco.
No sprinkling of the door-post or lintel stops the
entrance of the destroying angel. It takes the mil
lionaire from the palace and the sot from the hove).
It scorns the barrier* of rank and social position.
Itconnts among it* victims the beauty of the ball
room and the painted prostitute—the high end the
low—i he master and the slave. The vehicles of
trade are freighted with the malaria —the air cornea
to ns tainted with fever. Great fear ia abroad in
the land. At the exchange board and the council
chamber, at the chnrch door and in the parlor—it
drives out every topic. Knots of men standing at
the street corners
Whisper with white Hpe—“it cornea! it cornea
Anxious friends resd the daily lists of the dead,
trembling lest the name of the loved one is there.
Charity has flowed into the devoted city in plente
oos streams. Communities, robust with health,
have held out their hands to mid the distresses of
brethren, end jealous sections have forgotten the
heats of party strife, in s generous rivalry of alms
giving.
Such is the fearful retrospect. It has been a
year crowded with gloomy memories. Death, the
great reaper, has gone into the harvest, and has
come back loaded with spoils. From the presiden
tial mansion to the rudest hamlet on onr western
frontier, he has selected, with unsparing hand, hie
countless victims. Wa doubt if another year so
deeply dyed with gore, can be found in our nation

The Indian outbreaks in Rogue River valley and
other northern districts which at one time threat
ened to become genera!, have been quelled, and a
treaty of peaee concluded. During the hostilities,
Gen.LaueandCapt. Alden were seriously wounded

Intelligence of an interesting character has been
received from Sonora, Mexico, announcing the dis
covery of mines of extraordinary richness. In con
sequence a decided spirit of filibustering has been
revived in this State, and several gen'lemen Breen
gaged in the preliiniuary arrangements for organiz
ing expeditions.
The intelligence from the Sandwich Islands is of
an important character, and gives indication of an
early change of sovereignty. A number of Amer
ican and other foreign residents are striving, osten
sibly, to procure tbe dismissal of two members of
the King's Cabinet, but their real object is the sub
version of the Government, and the transfer of the
Islands to the United States. These movements,
however, are injurious to the cause ol annexation,
which, in the mcautune, is progressing under dif
ferent tnd higher uusphes.
Lieut. Beale, U. S. Indian Commissioner, and
party arrived at Los Angelos on the 23d ult. from
the plains and mountains, all in good hoaltb. Lieut.
B. immediately proceeded to Tulare Valley on busi
ness of his department.
Our mining interests continue in a prosperous
condition, and under tho operation of improved
machinery, and by the application of science to the
working of the mines, must continue to progress
for years tocomo The working of auriferous earth
obtained by siuking shafts and ‘‘ drifting,” is the
most profitable branch cf minifig now pursued.
Fluming enterprises are numerous, extensive aud
profitable.
The working of quartz, taken altogether, cannot
yet bo considered successful. la riated instances of
success innst not be taken as criterion of the busi
ness geuerally. No machinery lias been construct
od adequate to the grinding of the rock, and sepa
ration of tlio gold, and until vast improvementsare
effected in this respect, qu: rtz mining whl continue
to be an extremely hazardous business, whatever
the richness of the veins. This branch of mining
has been greatly injured by speculative Stock Com
panies, which have necessarily in many iustnnoea
iroved disastrous to those investing in them. These
>ubb!e concerns deter capitalists from venturing in
any enterprise for grinding quartz, even where the
judicious use of money in building machinery of
the proper kind would be certain to produce a rich
return. The successful companies are generally
those who have no stock in the market.
Lixct. Beale and uis I’ahtv.— 'Tho San Francis
co Iloruld contains a very interesting account of tho
progress of the exploring party under the command
of Lieut. Beale, which left Westport, Mo., on the
17th of May last, and arrived at Los Angeles on
the 16lh of September. We condense our cotem
porarys’a graphic account of tlio journey.
After leaving Weapon, the expedition crossed
the Arkansas, and followed up the Huerfens to its
source. It pa-sed tho Rocky Mountains by tho
Sangre de Christo Pass, and reached Fort Massa
chusetts in twenty days from tho start. In that
time is to be included a delay of three days, caused
by the sickness of Mr. Leroux. Ten anys wore
then wasted before a guide could be obtained.
Having at last procured a guide, Mr. Beale pro
ceeded towards Grand River, fording in his pas
sage many rivers which are not found on any of
our maps. Tho passage of the Rio do la Laguna,
in particular—a swollen mountain torrent, excr
eisod all the courage and ingcmiiiy of his party.—
The country in this quarter abounded with game,
and the travelers were never without doer, elk, or
antelope.
In crossing Grand River, the canoe which con
tained tbe arms of the expedition wa» capsisod;
both guns and ammunition were irretrievably lest.
Considering that the accident occurred in ( tho heart
of the Indian country, it was anything but an agree
able location for a band of unarmed travelers.
However, Mr. Hcnp was dispatched to the nearest
settlement to repair the lops, aud tho Utahs behav
ed in a very gentlemanly maimer—for Indians.
The expedition pushed on rapidly to Little Salt
Lake, where is a flourishing Mormon settlement,
Here the pcoplo were tound to be in a state of
great alarm. Walker, Ihc Utah chief, had made
war upon thtf Mormons, had killed sovcral men
and driven off upwards of threo huudrod head of
cattlo. He had sent them word that tho war was
to continue four years, and that be was determined
to capture all their horses and ca tie. Tlio Mor
mons had abandoned Paraguna, a beautiful littlo
town, leaving their houses aud grain-fields in the
valley noar tnc lake, and had removed to Parawa
na, a larger settlement about six miles [distant, in
order to give it greater strongth. Walker is a re
markable Indian. Ho is not a chief by hereditary
right, but has risen to his present position as su
preme chiot of tho Utahs, solely by his own ener
gies. 110 makes annual incursions into tills coun
try; and it is estimated_that within tho last four
j roars he has driven off not less than two thousand
! torses.
Leaving tho Mormon settlements, Mr. Beale
passed through the Vegas Santa Clara, beautiful
mountain meadows, covered with fiuo grass and
containing numerous springs of excellent water,
and came down the Santa Clara river to a village of
Pah-Utahs. These Indians aro tho declared ene
mies of tho white race, and Mr. Beale knowing it
wus of no use to parley with them, marched boldly
to llie chief, and demanded that he should guard
his horses for the night. Strange asit may appear,
tho Indians took the Superintendent’s animals to
good grass, watched them during the night, and
returned them safely the next morning.
From the Santa Clara to tho Muddy river, every
night the Pah Utahs were hovering about, hut
they committed no depredations. At the Muddy,
a great number of Indians had assembled, but not
more than twelve wore permitted to come into the
camp at one time, the rest being kept at a respect
ful distance. One of these Indians (Pah Utah’s)
said that he wanted to see more ot tho Americans,
and bogged Mr. Beale to tako him along. Suppo
sing ho would speedily turn back, tbe Superinten
dent told him lie could go on to Calilornia if he
would travel on foot; and thereupon tho Indian
joined the expedilion.
Leaving tho Mudd river, Mr. Beale marched
rapidly to the first jorna'la, (day’s march) over tli3
desert. Upon the first jarnaaa tho parly slartod
at three o’clock in the ovening, ana having tra
velled as fast as they could, at seven o’clock the
next morning readied the Vegas Erctana, a pretty
meadow, with a fine stream of water. Two days
more brought them to the second jot nada, a stretch
of sandy desert extending from the Amogosa to
tho Tiokesa Spring, about sixty miles. Tlio Amo
gosa was left at two o’clock in tho evening, and at
four o’clock the next morning every riding animal
was so much fatigued that it was necessary for tho
riders to take to foot. Alter travelling six hours
on foot, from six o’clock until ten, the Tio Mesa
was reached. Tio Mesa is the name of a spring ot
bitter water, with but little grass about it, and
aituated iu tho midst of a frightfully barren
country.
From the Tio Mesa to the Mohave, and from
thence to Los Angelos, the expedition met with no
remarkable incident. As tho drUd beef had lie
come spoiled, the parly was compelled to subsist
upon game; but this so frequently happens to ex
plorers as to be scarcely worth mentioning. Mr.
Beale examined the country about the Mohave
with reference to its adaptation to an Indian re
servation ; but although many good camping
§ laces were found, no spots of good land were
iseovered of sufficient extent for tho purpose iu
view.
The animals appear In better order than would
be supposed, after so futiguing a journey. While
Mr. Bealo was delayed at Grand River, the animals
were dispatched to Taos and back, a distance of
nearly eight hundred miles, which was accom
plisea in sixteen days, and this distance must be
added to that travelled on the route from West
port to this place.
Mr. Beale and his party are in good health.
Deducting unavoidable delays, the trip was made
in forty-nine days—the shortest on record I
Anothir Battle with the Indians. —We learn
from the Mountain Herald of the 27th nit., that
another battle with the Indians was fought on the
24th. There had been 10 Indians killed and 80
wounded. The whites had three men killed and
three wounded. Among tho killed was Capt.
Armstrong, of Yumhill; the names of tho other
two are unknown : they were from Yrcka. Col.
B. K. Alden, 0. 8. A., was badly wounded ; the
ball entered his neck amt came out andcr his arm.
It was reported at first that the wound was a mor
tal one, bat we learn with great pleasure, says the
San Francisco Herald, by a private letter dated on
the 24th ult., that he is considered out of all dan
ger. Gen. Lane was al o slightly wounded iu the
shoulder. Tho battle lasted lour hours, at the end
of which time Chief Sam proposed aa armistice,
which was granted; and both aimies agreed to
meet at Table lb ck to-morrow, to have a wa wa.
The Indians numbered 250 men and the whites
96. The battle came *ff at the head of Evans’
Creek, in a canon about 55 miles from here ; the
whites supprised them. Gen. Lane and Col. Alden
were wounded while making a charge. It is gene
rally supposed at Jacksonville that ft is tho inten
tion of the whites to make a treaty with the Indi
ans, on account of their agreeing to meet them at
Table Book ; bnt the correspondent of tho Herald
repudiates the idea with scorn, and says the peo
ple would not suffer such a propositirn to be en
tertained for a moment. The Indiana continue
their outrages. Three Spandiards were shot on
the 25tb, eight miles from Jacksonville near Ap
plegate creek. One mule was shot, and the cargo
carried off by the Indians. The Spaniards were
on their way in from Crescent City with a pack
train. Onr citizens are flocking from all the sur
rounding country to take part in the contest.
Kobt. L. Willims arrived iu Jacksonville on the
24th, from Akhouse creek, lor the purpose of
getting a commission to raise a companv ot Han
gers, which was granted to him. Capt. W. J.
Terry arrived the same night from Crescent City,
with a part of his company, the balance being
behind with their provisions, ammunition, &c.
His company numbers 80 men, well armed and
moan ted.
There can be no doubt that our people must be
ultimately triumphant; but s sufficient lorce should
be collected to quell the insurrection at once.
Every day adds to the cruelties inflicted by the
Indians, and to the retribution that will be visited
upon them. There is but one way of dealing with
these wretches—that of Anthony Wayne and An
drew Jackson. Mercy to them were the greatest
cruelty to our own people.
We take the following from the Cnnion:
Lathi News fbox Nobthebn Caufobsia—Fcb

INTEUJBXNCE,1 NTEUJBXNCE, etc., etc.— Mr. Croniey, who lelt
Klamata county on the 7th instant, arrived in this
city yesterday, by the land route, and to him we
are indebted for lnteri sting information respecting
that remote section of the State. He met no In
dians on the road, but fired at a man whom he
mistook for one, but who alterward* proved to be
a poor insane Dutchman. His shot fortunately
miased Mynheer, and he escaped.
There was renewed excitement in relation to
threatened hostilities among the Indians on Bogus
river, seventy five miles above Hamburgh Barr,
and it waa rumored that Urge numbers of the
Pitt River, Shaata, Salmon Biver end KUmstb In
dians, were concentrated well armed, at that poiDt.
No outbreak had occurred, but the whites con
ceived themselves in imminent peril.
The mining news is of the most favorable char
acter. A large bill above Hamburgh Point is ex
tensively worked, end miners are making great
wages. Numerous rivulets, flowing down the
almost precipitous sides ot the neighboring moun
tain, afford the diggers an ample supply of water.
A Frenchman made a few days siDce, $750, and
took ont from two pans of earth thirty six ounces
The earth pays at the depth of two feet below the
surface from six to niDe dollar* per day to the
band, bnt increases in richness the deeper the
dnings.
On the 4th end sth of the present month, rain
fell heavily, end the miners were becoming fear
ful that an.eerly winter would find them with an in
adequate supply of provisions.
We find in the Marysville Herald the following
additional news relative to the Indian hoetilities
in Rogue river Valley;
Gen. Laue, with a party of eight or ten men,
a visited the Indian oncampment on lostSundav.
f rtiey found 250 able bodied warriors; 150 sick
5 and disabled; 111 rifles and 38 pistols, Colt’s
, Allen’s, and single barrel. The Indians say, that
[ some time aince the whites ceded to them one half
, the valley, on condition of their releasing all claim
to the remaining half; that the whites are now
settling the whole valley without remunerntiuir
them; that if the Americans will pay thorn foe
their lands, they will surrender their’arms and
allow to be retained out ot the money a sufficient
amount of money to pay all damages they have
done to pii ate property. A final tea iea was
fixed for Wednesday, the 81st.
The Herald very properly roproves the doctrine
of extermination, as inducing us into a protected
and bloody waifaro. And tho proposed treaty is
in such terms, that its rejection must raise doubts
of the sincerity and propriety of the purpose i f
the whites in this war.

have received highly important news from the
Sandwich Islands. At the date of onrlast advices,
it will be recollected, wo had intelligence that a
meeting of the citizens was called to petition the
King tor the dismissal of his Ministers of Finance
and Public Instruction, who had become exceed
ingly obnoxious to the people. The following is a
copy of the handbill containing this call:
The Time das Come—Keep the Ball in Motion.
—A meeting of the citizens of Honolulu, fsvor
ublo to tho dismissal from office of G. P. Judd
and Richard Armstrong, Ministers of Finance and
Public Instruction, will be held at the Conrt House,
in ..onolulu) to night, at liaf-past 7 o’clock, to dis
cuss the resolutions offered on last night, by Dr.
George A. Lathrop. “LiLcrty of speech is the
birth-riglit of Freemen.” By order or Committee
of Independent Citizens.
Honolulu, July 20, 1853,
In pursuance of this call, a large meeting of the
foreign residents of Honolulu was called, at which
the following highly important proceedings took
place. As the Government had obtaiued posses
sion of the only two presses in the Island, and re
fused to allow the publication of the proceedings,
they were broughtover to us by Cupt. I’onhallow,
one of the Vice-Presidents of the meeting, tlmt
they might receive lull publicity.
Great Meeting of the Citizens. —ln purriiance
of the above call, the foreign residen's ortho city
of Honolulu assembled at the Court House, on (he
evening of July 20th, and organized the meeting
by electing the following officers, viz:
Dr. Wesley Newcomb, President; Captain John
Meek. Captain David Pearce Penhallow, Vice Pre
sidents; Win. Ladd, C. H. Lewerv, Secretaries.
Dr. George A. lathrop stated the objects of tile
meeting, insisting upon the right of f ee discus
sion, which had been cut off the previous evening,
and in support of his position read the third and
fourth articles of the Constitution of the Hawaiian
Islands, to wit:
“Art. 8. Ail men may freely speak, write and
publish their sentiments on all subjects, being re
sponsible for tho übusos of that right; und no law
shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of
speech or of tho press.
“Art. 4. All men shall have the right, iu an or
derly and peaccble manner, to assemble without
arms, to consult upon the common good; give in
structions to thoir representatives; and to petition
the King or the Legislature for a redress of griev
ances.”
He then introduced a series of resolutions, which
were ably supported by Messrs. J. D. B air, Oip .
A- J. McDuffie, Dr. W. Newcomb,and Dr. J. Mott
Smith, and unanimously adopted.
The following are the resolutions offered by Dr.
Lathrop.
Whereas, The position of the Sandwich Islands
in tho Pacific Ocean must render them of very
great importance, in a commercial point of view at
leuat, and they would, under wholesome, judicious
and liberal governmental policy, at no distant day,
become rich in the various productions of their
soil, influential in the expansion of their trade and
commerce, and tbeir citizens prosperous, contented
and happy ; and whereas the people should be the
source of power in all, and are emphatically the
enpport and dependence ot all governments, wheth
er monarchical, mixed, or democratic, and that no
government can be conducted successfully, pros
perously and happily, without the confidence and
respect of the people; therefore,
fcemUed, That the wishes of the people should
bo consulted by Emperor, KiDg or President, in the
appointing or continuance of Ministers, who by the
power their position gives them, exercise control
ling influence over the destinies of the country and
the individual happiness of the people.
Kttolvtd, That we, a portion of the foreign and
native residents of theySandwicli Islands, entertain
for his Majesty, Kamehameba 111, nothing but the
most profound sentiments of loyalty, regard and
esteem; and that he will ever find in us earnest anp
porterßOf his title and prerogatives, so long as such
a course would be consistent with a proper respect
for private righto, personal liberty, individual ho
nor, and the public good.
Pmrjlctd, That the Ministers of Finance snd
Public lustructiOD, members of his Majesty’s pre
sent Cabinet, are cot so fortnnato as to have either
the confidence or esteem of this meeting, nor as
we believe, of any considerable portion of hia Ma
jesty’s native subjects, or of foreign resident citi
zens throughout bis kingdom, and that tbeir reten
tion in office is in direct opposition to the wishes
and interests ot a very large majority of the natives
and citizens of the Sandwich Islands.
Rtaolttd, That these same ministers, having the
command of the principal channels of influence,
viz: treasure, education, and the almost absolute
control of Government patronage, have most wiek
edly neglected tbeir doty in not osing the means
within tbeir control, to protect the people from the
pestilence which is now depopulating the islands,
That, instead of devoting themselves to the public
good, they have ever sought their own aggrandize
ment, regardless alike of the high duties devolving
upon them, or of the evils necessarily following
their maltaisance in office.
Ruolxtl, That whilst the foreign residents of
Honolulu are making such earnest and energetic
efforts—expending their time, labor and money
so liberally, to stay the dread pestilence that
threatens in s short time to sweep off s large
portion of the inhabitants of these islands—anni
hilate their trade end commerce, end thereby
bring distress ruin »Dd absolute went noon the
citizens—it is not unreasonable to ask the dis
missal of said ministers, who by their criminal
selfish and wilful neglect have brought this
frightful curse upon us. For even the plea of
ignorance cannot be made in tbeir defence, as the
public are welt aware that they were warned in
season—nay, even urged and entreated to use
the only means by wbicb protection oould be
given to the people. But as the sum of less
Sian S2OOO would be required to vaccinate sad
protect the people of this island, the reoommen-
dation or proposal of tho physicians passed for
r, nought.
‘ A eeolved, That a committee be ap|>ointed by the
k President, to prepare a petition to his Majesty,
praying that he will gratify the most earnest hope
it ami dosircofthe people, and contribute to their

j OCTOBER.
' May of the Autumn! blithe October 1 thou
1 Coxiest with Soon and blessing to mankind,
Crocus and dahlia grace thy swarthy brow,
< And the groves ring with sweetest notes combined
To welcome thee. Thrush, blackbird, woodlark find
Again their voi es, pouring the'r wild song
Through searing leaves high rustling to the wind,
The Boreal breeze now waving keen and strong. ’
Away! blithe month ! far o'er the heather hills.
Thou boundest, where the whi*ring of the grouse
t Invites the fatal shot or by the rills
Loved by the snipe or where the partridge boose
Their young amid the stubble. There thy voice
Resounding, bids the sportsman’s heart rejoice,
But worthier joy the country’s grateful heart
Keels for the blessings Provide ace hath poured
Abundantly, wherever Ceres’ art
Invoked the succor of all nature's Lord-
Dire famine hath d -parted, with the horde
Os evils in his traiu; and plenty crowns
The noble land which always can afford
Muniiltence, to chase want’s withering frowns.
Then welcome, hale October! to onr clime,
To yeoman’s homestead as to princely dome I
Fearless and free old Albion’s brow sublime
Rises, unsullied, o’er broad ocean’s foam.
Ever bu thus her blazon without blot,
And honor sanctify her humblest cot.
Trouble among tlie Indians.
Tho V’an Burcn (Ark.) Intelligencer, ol tho 24th
ult., has tho so lowing reference to the Indian diffi
culties on the Arkansas frontier:
Wo announced in the lust Intelligencer tho pain
ful news of the atrocious murder of tho Messrs.
Adair, in the Olicrokco nation, by a ntob of ovor
ono hundred tneu. This bloody work was only
the beginning of tho end contemplated by tho ac
tors. A number of the Adairs and connection,
who were marked for a similar end, fled to this
Stato and have taken refuge among our citizens.
Wc have been informed, in a reliable quarter,
that this mob increased in numbers to over two
hundred, when, divided into throo parties, pro
ceeded to the rosidoiic s of Messrs. Titos. Bigley,
Lafayette Adair and Win, Foreman, who fortu
nately heard of tho murder of tho Adairs in timo
io make their escape. When called upon as prin
cipal chief of the nation, tocauso these parties to
ho dispersed, the leaders arrestod, and that tho
persons and property of tho threatened parties bo
protected, Mr. Ross, wo understand, despatched a
messenger to tho mob, but they refused to disperso,
and since that time tho principal chief has been
itniiblo to put down this intestine wurfaro.
Twoortnroe hundred men aro under arms, bid
ding dotianco to the authorities, so far as to refuse
to givo up to the present sheriff; although they
have agreed to surrender to the now sheriff who
comes into office on tho Ist of October. It is oponly
boasted that theso men cannot be hung if they
should bo convicted, as “over two-thirds of the
nation are on their side.”
Tho Creeks of the two hostile towns who rescued
a prisoner from the U. S. Deputy Marshal some
timo since, still occupy this attitude of defiance,
flic grand jury at the May term of the U. S. Court,
in this place found bills against the leaders who
weio ongagod ill that affair, yet as these towns, un
der tho organization of their local chiefs are bunded
together and resist the Government officials, tho
culpriis havo not boon arrested.
Col. Hays, U. S. Marshal, had an intorviow with
Roily Mclntosh, Ben Marshal and other principal
chiefs of the nation a short time since at Fort Gib
son, in the presence of the commanding officer of
that post. These chiefs assured him that it was
impossible to arrost these men without disturbing
ilio pence of tho nation. There not being a suffi
cient number of troops to aid tho marshal in tie p
arrest, that officer lias been compelled to defer tho
arrest ol these tnon for tho present.
The Fort Smith Herald, of the sarno date, has o
the following additional intelligence: 0
On Saturday night last, there was a row in the *
Cicrokoe Nation, seven or eight miles from this
place, in which ono man was killed immediately. ..

The Ciiukoh Suit —By the way, I may mention,
as the latest on dit, that the New York Book Agents
are making arrangements for an immediate settle
ment with the South, on terms entirely satisfacto
ry.—Editors of the Charleston Christ'n Advocate.
We understand the terms of the proposed ad
justment are, that tho whole matter in dispute,
shall be referred to the Hon. Judge McLean, of tho
SupromeCourt of tho United States. Both parties
have done well, to leave it to the arbitration of such
a man as Judge McLean. Wo learn further that
the Judge is expected in this city in a few days, to
meet the commissioners ot tho two branches of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.— S. Y. Commercial

Nashville and Memphis Railroad Company.—
The meeting of the Board of Commissioners of
this road, held at Brownsville on the 8d instant,
was largely attended. We learn from a gentle
man who was present, that over $700,000 of stock
was represented by delegates, while tiie people ot
Haywood and Tipton counties, manifested the
liveliest interest in the proceedings of the Board.
The following gentlemen were elected a Board of
Directors of the Memphis und Nashville Railroad
Company: Robertson Topp, President: W. B.
Miller, Samuel Bond, A. B. C. Debose, William
Coward, R. F. Maeklin, J. B. Stanton, and George
T. Taylor.
The President and Directors, being prosont, or
ganized and clceted J. T. Trezevant Secretary and
Agent ofthe Company.
The Board appointed u committee to contract
with an Engineer, and put him in the field imme
diately. The Board also ordered a call of two per
cent, to be made upon the stockholders, to be
paid to W. B. Millor within thirty days. The
prospects of this road aro very flattering.—Mem

The Emdemic in Newport, Fla.— Though we
were d ssppointcd in the hopeexpresscd last week,
that the epidemic had its last victim among us, our
obituary head shows, nevertheless, a large decrease.
We believe there isonocase yet about which some
slight apprehension is felt. Ail'd the recent cases
have readily yielded to medical treatment and care
ful nursing, except the one alluded to.
We are now in October, and it is not unreasona
ble tor us to suppose that the weather most con
tinue to get cooler and cooler until a frost shall
come, (which maybe about the 16th, the full of
the moon) and destroy every seed of the disease,
if it does not entirely disappear before. We have
had no new cases since Sunday, and we may have
no more. Let us cheer np, and thank God that
the calamity which has befallen ns as a community
was no worse.
This morning we count four whites under medl
eal treatment. The blacks, we believe, with one
exception are all able to be about. Not a death
has occurred among them.— Wakulla Timet, bth

An Indian W au in Oregon.— We regretto learn
that official intormation has been received by the
Government at Washington, that the difficulties
which have for gome time existed between the In
dians and white inhabitants of Rogue River Valloy,
in the Territory of Oregon, have reached a state 01
actual war. The Indians had murdered several
persons, among others, the Hon. John R. nardin
end Dr. Rose. The settlers had suspended all
business, and taken refuge in forts. Cant. Alden,
of the 4th Infantry, stationed at Fort Joins, was
at the last accounts muroMng to the seat of war
with a few regulars and several hundred volunteers.
Volunteers were inarching from other directions.
Several hundred Indian warriors are said to have
assembled at Table Rock—many ol whom are well
provided with arms and ammunition.
We trust the prompt appearance of an armed
force will quiet these disturbances without further
bloodshed. — Washinytnn Star.

,r THE STREAM OF LIFE.
I listened to a brorkl.t
e That danced a gleesome nine,
'i Through grove and dell and meadow, ,
c One golden day in June,
r And on its bank the star-flower
a And violet bloomed along.
But not of these It babbled
1 Its glad and gushing song;
For onward, ever onward
It leapt and danced with glee,
And all the time the brooklet
Was singing of the sea—
The deep, fa distant sea—
The great and glorious sea.
And thus the restless brooklet
Was singing of the sea 1
“ I’m longing for the ocean,
The ocean Car away, ‘
Wherejofousbreeie and wavelet
Forever are at play,
And where the deep, blue waters
Are not, like me, confined
By rock and hill and valley,
Their d tncing course to bind.
I do not love my fetters—
’Tis glorious to be free!
And gladly am I hasting
To reach the chainless sea,
The blue, far distant sea,
The wide and glorious ses,
And g’adly am I hasting
To reach the boundlesa sea."
This song came strange and dreamy,
And when I muse it o’er,
It seems likechildhood’s yearnings
For that which lies before.
I stood beside a river
That glided on its way,
And sparkled in the sunlight,
One bright, miilsummer day.
I heard its ripplessinving
A deep and murmured tons,
But noL of the rt h landscape
That skirted it along.
For onward, ever onward
Its wavelets danced with glee,
And all the time the river
Was singing of the sea—
The great and glorious sea!
The gem illumined sea!
And thus it seemed the river
Kept singing of the sea:
“ I’m longing for the ocean,
AVhere swelling billows dance,
In freedom and in gladness.
O’er a’l the wide expanse!
There walks the proud ship laden
With noble heat ts and brave,
And grots of gem-bright treasures
Gleam far beneath the wave.
This soft and sleeping lanilscape
Is not the scene for me,
And gladly am I hasting
To reach the glorious sea—
The blue and boundless Sea!
The treasure gleamiug sea 1
And gladly am I hasting
To reach the chainless sea."
This sang, while thus I listened.
Seemed like the hopes of youth—
Its dreams and aspirations,
Ere time has taught it truth.
I looked upon the ocean,
When onward, hasting fast
The brooklet and the river
Had m ngled there at last.
The sun that late was shining
Midst threat’nlng clouds went down;
The heavens, no longer smiling,
Futon asullen frown.
The billows, wild and roaming,
Lashed the bleak and dreary shore,
And wailing sounds and murmurs
Game echoing evermore.
Alas, the stormy sea,
The great, dark, heaving ses 1
How strange the brook and river
Should sing so of the sea.
Thus, thus our gentle childhood
And youth are lost in strife;
And here, methioks, is shadowed
The restless stream of life.

Know yocr Husband’s Income. —Wo hoar it
frequently asserted that oxtravagiineo is the great
evil of tho ago. Husbands particularly are fond
of expatiating on this snbjoet bofore tlioir wives,
or beforo female visitors, whom they talk to, in
order to talk at their spouses. But, in jußtico to
the ladies, it should be suid thut men aro quite
ns oxtravngant as women. If tlio lattor have a
weakness for lactSj Bilks and lino furniture, the
former are just as fond of cigars, champagne and
horses. Mtmy a husband, who grumbles at what
lie thinks the extravagant sums paid by his wife,
for gloves, shoes and handkerohiefs, spends twico
as much annually on oyßtors, or at ton piuß. The
tilings tho wife lanoios are, moreover, the more
refined of the two ; and on tho whole, are perhaps
quite as useful as tho others. Whatever the “rest
of mankind'’ may soy, tho Lodger will bo honest
in this mutter. Fair pluy has not been given to
tlio sex. Tito men who do most of tho oditing,
writing, and paying, have raiaod tlio ory of ex
truvuganco against tlio ladios, until a popular
idea has arisen that fomalos aro constitutionally
greater spendthrifts limn the male*. It is tho old
story of tlio lion painting his own virtues.
Having thus oxoncrutod tho ladies from a charge
we think unjust, they will, we trust, listen dis
passionately to what further we have to soy. For,
though wo consider the men quite us extravagant
ns the women, wc are fur from exonerating either
from this folly entirely. At somo other time we
may havo a word of advico for tho “lords of
creation,” but to day, wo wish to have tho oar, for
awhilo, of tho wives of these samo “lords.” We
presume, at the outset, wo arc talking to sensible
women, By a sensible woman in this instance, we
mean, one who, if a wife, makes her husband's
interests hor own, and who, is thoreloro, anxious
to spare him unnecessary anxiety, and to labor
with him to the extent of hor übility, to lay by
something for thoir old ago, if not for tl e future
establishment of their children. Tho wife who
lias not this sympathy with her husband, but who
regards him merely as a means of enabling her to
dress expensively, is unworthy of tlio namo, tho
position, tho honors of a companion for life. She
is in no sense, tho hclp-»i«fe, which she was called
in tho old Huxon. She is a drag on her husband,
not an assistant to him. To aid him she should be
cheerful, should order her house well, and above
all, should strictly avoid extravagance; and to
uchievo the latter there is no better way, provid
ed she is n woman of sense, than to know his in
come exactly.
For oxtra'vuganoe is a relative torm. A brooado
silk may boa folly for one wife, but only what is
proper for unother bettor oil'. We do not advocate
parsimony on the part of the rich. If elegant fab
ries, and sumptuous furniture, and fine houses
were abolished, many thriving trades would perish
for want of sustenance ; and those who ply them
would either be reduced to permanent beggars, or
foroed into other pursuits which are already, per
haps sufficiently stocked. But if a sensible wife
knows her husband’s inoome, she can tell, for her
polf, what is extravagant and what not. Is ho a
merchant) 81m is aware, then, thut he has his
fortune to mako ; that Ilia pursuit is a precarious
one: and that consequently the household cx
ponacs must hear a very small proportion to the
apparent prolltß. Is he a professional man 1 She
knows that, in this case, tho road to wealth is
slow, and that, therefore, she must deny herself
many things his position would soem to warrant.
Is lie a mechanic I In such an event, hor hus
band can never hope to bo rich, until he saves
money enough to become a muster workman, und
ho cannot hope to succeed in this effort, unless
sustuiiied by the strictest economy on the part of
his wife. Is lie a man of fortune. A wiso wife is
aware that proporty fluctuates, and that children
will want a start In life; and consequently oven
tho wife of a landed proprietor will take care not
to spend their wholo income.
It is not alwuys tho wife who is to blame, how
over, for not regulating expenses of the husband's
incomo. Many men foolishly think that it is not
a wife’s business to know the state ot their affairs.
Othors ; when in difficulties, deceive their wives.
It frequently happens, therefore, that a wife either
believes her husband to be prospering when ho is
not, or greatly overrates tho extent of his prospe
rity. In such cases tlio husband is quite as censu
rable for tiic wife’s extravagance as she ia herself.
To sum up all in a sentenoe, if husbands would he
morojust to wives, wives would oftener act like
women of souse, mid would bo loss extravagant.—

Marumqes or Love and Convenience. — “ Every
where, but in novels,” says a recent writer, “the
marriage of convenience has proved an exoellent
institution, whilo wiiat are called love matches
have been, aro, and ever will be, prolific of mise
ry.” Wo should like to seethe impudent old
fogy who said that I—if it wore only to tell him to
his teeth that ho lies—lies liko the telegraph—lies
likoa lawyer—lies like a stemboat runner—lies
“like the prospectus of a new magazine )’’ Ho
“marriages of convenience” are better than the
love matches, are they ? Do you know that love
is all that oan make marriages honest, or oven do
cent 1 That marriage without love ia a stench in
tho nostrils of gods and man ? That love is
heuvenly in its origin, divine in its influence, und
glorious in its enjoyment? while “conven once”—
which is but a smooth gloss for lust or avarice—
is the prolific parent of inconveninoe, heart burn
ings, wrangling*, discord and divorce? Os course
you don’t! but ovory man of sense and observa
tion knows that tho mistake of youth and romance
in their matrimonial alliances aro light and unfro
quent compared with the coldly planned blunders
and cautiously concocted disasters of sagacious
bacholors of fifty, and weary spinsters of thirty
five !— Boston Post.
Loss or the Steamboat Pawnee.— The “Swamp
Fox,” down from St. Louis, arrived here yestor
day evening. She reports the loss of tbo steam
boat Pawnee, at the Grave Yard, in tho upper
Misdssippi. Hho was on her downward passage,
with a heavy freightfor Now Orleans, and on Mon
day morning at 5% o’clock, she strnek a snag,
which tore a very large hole in her bottom, causing
her to sink ir a couple of minutes. Nearly all the
passengers were in bed at the time. She now lies
iu about V 6 feet water, and broken in two. Boat
and cargo most likely a total loss. The steamer
U. S. Mail from Louisville, had just passed her,
on her way to St. Louis, but seeing the accidi nt,
put about and coming along side, took otf tho pas
sengers and crew and took them op up the river,
till she met the “Swamp Fox,” and put them on
board her. Some of them to whom we spoke, say
that Captain Haslip, of the XJ. S. Mail, deserves
the greatest praise for tho promtpncss aud kind no-s
he displayed on the occasion. Alter having taken
them on board bis boat, he kindly attended to all
their wants and saw them safely on board the
“Swamp Fox,” setting out again (or their doatina
tination. Short as was the time from tho moment
of her striking till bhe sunk, no lives wore lost.—
This is the second time within tho past two years
that she has sunk, each time causing a very heavy
loss.— Memjihu Jingle.
“Early rising," pays Vivian, “is a virtue greatly
esteemed in books, and very necessary, for others,
it is not a virtue which distinguishes me. I um
aware that tl e 'early bird gets the worm;’ but I

want some keener motive to make early rising a
practice. Not that the charms of dean, such as

There is a positive fa c nation in the freshness and

A Chinese lixucullon.
On the Ist of May I attended an exeoution with
three of my friends. The street In which these
frightful scenes occur is situated, as you aresware,
without the walled eity ot Canton, towards i hat
part ot the suburbs which lies to the south along
the river. This narrow, dirty street, wbloh is
about 100 motres 'ong and 15 wide, is called by
the Europeans the “Potter’s Field.” All the
houses on ouch side are, in faot, inhabit- d by
workmen who make common services of porce
lain andthoso portablo furnacos which you have
often seen in tho poorest housos and in the float
ing residences on the r vor. For fear that a Chi
nese scholar like yon may dispute names with mo,
I must toll you at once that this dismal plaoo is
culled by the natives “Tsiflii-Tzo-Ma-Tooa, or
tho “Quay of the Thousand Characters,” in allu
sion to the numerous siguß which aro seen thore
ftom the river.
Wo urrived thoro at 10 o’clook in tho morning,
and took our station in front of a shop belonging
to a mender ot old stockings. This was su excel
lent, position to take a snrvoy of the wlio’.o ceremo
ny, and woremainod thoro quietly till noon ; at
which time soldiers and officers attached to the
servioe of tho Maudarins urrived, to olear the street
and thrust back tlio curious. As in Europe, the
tho porsons who curne to see the spectacle were tho
vilost dregs of tho populace-dirty, ragged peo
ple, with sinister oonnUnsnces, who wandered
about this ensanguined soil ; where most likely
they hud already seen the execution of a number
of their companions, and porbapa of their ueooin-
P In a short time the toll of the turn fain an
nounced to us tho arrival oi tho wholo proces
sion. Mandarine of every degreo, with tno r d,
white, blue or yellow bull, riding ofi •horsebaok*
or carried in palanquins, and lollowOtl by an es
cort of music ans, sliirri, and standard bearers,
alighted at a short distance from tlio plaoo ot '
c .tiou. Contrary to their ceremonious naoii*,
they arrangod themselves in tho dismal uncio-
Hure. g.
Then arrived tho criminals. They were fifty -
threo in number, each shut up in a basket, with
his hand* tied behind his back, bis legs chinned,
aud a board inscribed with his sentence, hunting
from his neck. You hove oflon mot in Urn Un
neso streets a pair of coolies earning u pig
stretched out at its full length in a bamboo case.
Well, just imugino ft human being put in the plaoo
of the nnolcun animal, and you can form an idea
of the fifty-three unfortunate creatures iu tnetr
cages. When the cages were set down they wore
opened und emptied, justhh when a pig i» turned
out at u butcher’s shop. 1 examined those unfor
tunate wrelolies with attention ; they were worn
out with hunger, aud looked more like skeleton*
than living beings. It was evidont that they had
suffered the most dreadful privations. They were
clothed in loathsome tatters, wore long hair, and
tho dishevelled toil attached to tho crown ot the
bend, had beon roducod to u third of it* usual
length. They had evidently bolongod to the
insurgent bands, who had adopted the fashion
of tho Mings, and allowed all their huir to
8 Many of these unfortuuoto persons wore very
young—some were not sixteen years of age
whilo others ba.l grey hair. Scarcely wero thoy «
thrown on tho ground pell-mell, when they were
com;.oiled to kneol ; tlio greater part ot them
wero so debilitated from suffering, that thoy oould
not keop in this position, und rolled in the mud.
An oxooutionor’Bassistant then picked them up and
arranged them all in a row, while broe execu
tioners placed themselves behind them und wait
ed the fatal moment. You doubtless reoollcot
those horrible figures whom we have often *een
togethor in tho cortege of tho criminal judge or
Canton—those figure* dressed in a fed blouso
and wearing a copper crown adornod above the ear*
with two loug pheasant’s feathers. Well, these
wero the executioners, who now waited the signal
with u rude and heavy cutlass in their hands.
These enormous weapons are about two loot
long, and tho back ot tho blade is two inches
thick ; altogether it is a cumbrous instrument,
shaped like a Chinoeo razor, with a rude handle
of wood. ,
A Mandarin, who closed the cortege then ontor
ed the enclosure. Ho was adorned with the white
ball, and hold in his hand a board, inscribed.with
tho ordor of execution. As soon an this man ap
peared tho frightful work began. The execution- !
er’s assistants, cached clothed in a lon black robe
aud wearing a sort of head dress ol iron wicker- 0
work, seized the criminals behind, ana passing
thoir arms undor the shoulders of their victims,
gave thorn a swinging movement ahi oh mad*
them strotch out their necks. The ciocutioner,
who was now in front, holding hi* sword in both
hands, throw all his strength lino the weapon and
divided tlio corvieul verte bra) with Jncrediblo ra
a, severing the head from tho body in a sin
>w, The executioner, never had to striko
twice; for evon if the flesh was not completely
cut through, tho weight was suffioiont to tear it,
and the houd rolled on tho ground. An assistant
then leveled tho victim with a kick, or tho corpse
would otherwise have romuined in a kneeling
position. After three or four decapitations the < ?
executioner changed his weapon, the edge of the
blade scorning completely turned. Tho execution
of these fifty-three wretches only lastod somo
minutes. ",
When the last head had fallen, the Mandarin* J
retired from tho scone ns silent as they had come.
Seeing the highest provincial olllco»s presont at A
the execution of those unfortunate men, I . was
struck with tho reflection that in all countrios—
horrible to say—the political scaffold has boon ele- ■
vatod instead of degraded. Alter the departure
of the mundarino, tho executioner picked up ull
the heads und threw them into a chest brought for
the purpose. At the same time tlio assistant took
the chains off the victims as they lay iu a pool of
blood. Tho heads were carried away, but the bo
dies were left on tho place of execution.
A lamentable ncono then commenced. A troop
of women with dishevelled hair, approached the
fatal spot shrieking aloud in wild disorder. These
unhappy beings wore endeavoring to distinguish
their fathers, their husbands, and thoir children,
among tho headless corpses. It was a frightful
scenotosee them hurrying about, pondering, and
constantly mistaken amidst these headless re
mains. This search continued ull tiny, accompa
nied by a mournful noise ; funeral dirges being
mingled with crieH and sobs. Tho women never
ceased repeating that kind of chant common to ati
funeral ceremonies, und which was composed ; It
is said, in tho time of the Mings. It is a sort of
rythmetical pluint, in which the samo words con
stantly recur. “Oh misery l Oh despair 1 My
happiness is gone forever? Your kindness will
no longer soften the bittcrnehS of lit* ! Alone and
bereaved of all, I can only weep and die over your
ashes!” and so ODr-Twn’f China , just pub
lished.
“If tod’be coming wnv don’t too come along ?”
—So “Moso” wiur wont to say afbiotime, and it em
bodies “agood bit” of practical philosophy. Every
new Engine shrieks it—every new Rahway is a re
cord of it--every lino of Telegraph cxamplifies it—
every now modi um of advertising illustrates it. The
saying originated in tho “Bowery” may bo but it is
destined to boa cosmopolite. It begun with indi
viduals; it is going on with nations ; it will end
with the world.
“If you’re coming, why don’t you come along?”
It is uttered in almost id! tongues, in almost, all
lands. It lias iiuig around Christendom; the iron
bedstead of Procrustes lia- been left behind, with
the tort'h and tho fagor. It lias sounded like a slo
gan through the polrical world, end the “old fo
gies” uni among tho bugguge-iv ngonß and tho
wounded.
It hue electrified the realm of literature; prose ia
becoming the living voice of humanity, mid poetry,
its eolio. Tte old Homage press has given place
to the cylinder whirled by the (uniting engine, and
thought that moved at a funeral puco now rushes
on in u tremendous charge.—■ Toe Old Guard” and
‘Marion’s Men” wero no'hinfrto It
“If you’re coming, why don’t' yon come along?"
“Hix paces to tho front” is the word to everybody
and everything that wants to bo listened to or look
ed at. If you have anything to suy, Buy it? if yon
wish anybody to see something, show it. “Jfyon’re
ooming, why don’t you come along.”
It used to take six nan to make a pin, now, one
boy, a poll, a clip and two strokes do the businos*.
Once, cradles rooked tho groin for the garner;
now, a whirlwind on wheels cut-, threshes and
bags it in s breath.
Onco, fathers und mothers had the precedence
by a few year ; now, belles witli dolls, and beaux
in pinafores, distance the “old folks at homo," and
take up tho cry of tho world, “If you’re ooming,
why ;:on’t you come along ?”
Once, they crossed tho Atlantic in u hundred
days; now, let them exceed ten, and somebody
hails them from tho land’s end, ns thoy li.uvo in
sight, “If you’re corning, why don’ you come
along!"—A. Y. 'lVibuae.
Fuenoh Farms.—Hon. W.O. Rives, of Virginia
delivered an eloquent address at tho Agricultural
Fair of New York, recoutly. We tako from it the ,
following description of the minuto division of
landed property in Franoo:
“In the country which ih Separated from England •
by a narrow sea, and yet moro by a Btrongly eon- •
traded national character, institutions and man
ners, tho discouragements of agriculture are of a
precisely opposite nature. There is not the monop
oly, but the extreme and unnatural sn,b division of
landed property and the diminntivoness of farms,
almost to the vorge of the infinite divisibility of
matter, that opposos the most serious obstacle to
the general progress of agricultural improvement,
Whut would we think on this bread continent of
ours, of u field measuring one and a half yards by
two, and a farmer owtfing and cultivating a jingle
furrow, and that by no means a long one. And yet
in Lorraino thero ore examples of the former attest
ed by the authority of a grave end respectable
French writer, and in Brittany the common name
applied by the peasant to bis possession is union, or
fnrrow, and is, in that, often nothing more. ' It is
estimated that there are about a million and a quar
»ter of proprietors in France,.none of which uold
moro than two lecture*, or five acres of land, and
dividing tho whole area of the eonntry by the total
number of proprietors of every grade, the average
size of the thrms Is about eleven and a half acres.
This inordinate subdivision of lauded property,
encumbered, to*,for the most part with hereditary
mortgages which have descended with tho tana
from lather to son, must, it Is ovidont, in mnoh the
larger number of instances, leave noither the space
nor tho canitul necessary for an improved system
of husbandry. There arc, notwithstanding, exam
ples of high and successful farming tn Frauoe.
