From the Knickerbocker for August.
A friend a» a fhr-olTp jint of lar-. lI Mie' igan ro
latcu to us tho other -lay ihe following, which may
'■a cou-i.lered ns a s'.i iking txarcp'o of Shn.p
Practice by a Tenant, whereas, as a general thintr,
the sharp practice is altogether on “ ihe other side
ot tho hou*©:” fc*<iuire hud leased one of two
contiguous houses to a noted character in our town,
a lawyer of high standing, and some ow years
ago a member of the It gi future, and withal a
derperato and incorrigible wag, and a hopeless
debtor. Quarter after quarter passed away; and
the land: r • never found his tenant at home when
rent-day came, nor provided with Hinds when he
■net him in the street; ahhongu on mi 3! occasions
ho was ftlv/eya liboia; o‘ promises. At last, rs a
dernier resort, a writ of ejectment was issued, and
notice given lo vacate within fourteen days (ihe
time prescribed by tho ’aw in Michigan) served on
tho delinquent tenant. No notice being taken
thereof, 011 tlio afternoon of the dty bj ecifiod the
landlord proceeded, with tho proper officers, to
■ lire intent oi jdtc 1 it:xr zi •
vi rim into the street, “ neck and heels.” But, on
arriving at tho place, w! at was bis chagrin to find
that his tenant had tha. very morning removed—
into the adjoining house t which happened to b
vacant just then ; a note being left on the steps of
his lute residence, politely suggesting tho pro
priety ot certain repairs in his r.ew at ode, and re
questing the ’squire to t-ec to it as soon as conve
iiioid. Os con re new proceedings had to be institu
ted, and there being no . ueh thing as “ diatr for
re n ” (exce pt in the landlord’s pocket) in Miohi
gar;, another writ of ejoetrnont was issued and
served. Tho evening before the time was up, the
landlord called on his debtor, and found him Just
sitting down to supper in his oil h>me y to which
he had sgaiu removed that very afternoon! Hu
wrs profu.o of complimouts and thanked tho
’squire heartily for tho improvements which had
boon m do iu tho dwelling during his absence.
A new process was at ence issued ! and this time,
dot. rminod not to bo tricked, the landlord pro
c ired occupants for both buildings, rent free for a
lull quuaiter, fearing to leave either empty till ho
was fairly rid of his customer. On comparing
notes, ho found himself minus over a year’s rent,
besides the quart', r given on the two houses, and
tiro expense of suits, etc.! A beautiful instanc
of the uncertainties of the law “ in such case made
and provided!’*
A friend of ours has just been mentioning, that
ou ouo occasion ho wus addressing “tho Court”
at the bar of ouo of the middle Slut os, upon a sub
jact of great moment to his client, when his at
tention was arrested by n singular circumstance.
Hu observed that whenever ho dwelt upon the
particular point of his argument, which he wished
especially to enforce, “the Court’s” Load wont
clown bohin his elevated desk, and presently
arose again. Changing his position slightly, he
saw the mystery o» this singular occurrence; and
when, soon a.ter, it was reported, he puusod iu
hi i remarks, and said: “When ‘tho Court’has
finished eating its water melon , I shall proceed
with my argument, not without the hope of being
at least partially heard I” And this reminded us
of tho reply ol a certain “Court” at the West, to a
question “ of Counsel Docs tho Counsel under
stand 1 tho Court’ to say, that its last railing is
according to hw /” “To which thus then” “the
Court ** If 4 the Court’ understand herself—and
she think she do— it ar ’ /” There is much talent
end also “some” ignorance on tho Wostoru
“ bench.”

Terrestrial Electricity.
Mn. MoJilton:—l witnessed an exhibition of
electricity on Triday morning lust, 21->t inst., of
great interest. And us 11 ave not rcudan account
of s' ch a one in any book us having been seen, 1
think it may be intoresth g to tho public.
1 was a pussonger in the Philadelphia care, and
while wo wore passing the (.inn l’owdor bridge
there was a slight shower of ruin, the sky became
quite dark, and thoro were frequent illuminations
as if by lightning. Ah I could not see from the
wii low ■ v itse'f, I took it for granted
that it proceeded from a cloud overhead or one
hidden from my vision by the car. As wo p;o
--co.edcd from tho Gnu Powder to the Canton
grounds, the illuminations bojMno more and more
vivid. Near tho Canton old raoo course I observ
i i a light, as i* a small haystack, or some
similar object was on fire, appa cntly about u half
mile distai t ; in ti.u dir-. A ion t the river. 1 kept
steadily looking at it, and soon found that the
1 ght was not jire, but evidently an electrical
aura, such as wo sue issuing from an electrical
machine in a dark room. The vapor scorns to issue
Ottt in
all directions, forming a semi spherical bar appa
rently twenty to thirty foot high, and every minute
or two u perfect shalt of lightning issued from tho
c:*rth a‘ the centre of the aura, sometimes perpen
dicularly upward.-, and sometimes obliquely side
ways. Each of these was followed by a considera
ble increase in the intensity and height of tho
vaper, which again subsided gradually until
another explosion took place.
1 should suppose l had a perfect viow of this
phenomena for llttecu minutes, and could 1 have
stopped the cais, should certainly have made a
i !os: r examination of it. As it is, it completely '
•vt is lied me t the fact that electricity sometimes
issues from he earth in the form of lightning. The '
effects of such lightning has often been described,
but Ido not know that'my ono has over published
tfe fact that ho had scon tho thing itself. 1 heard
no thunder daring any part of tho exhibition;
but tho ticl.se of the cars might have prevented my
hearing :t, if there was any. The apparent situa
tion oi the spot where the electricity issued wau
rot far from the water, and at one time I sup, osod ;
i‘ v.\ • actually on tho water, just below the old
racecourse, but ns I wus about settling this point
by my observations, intervening objects prevent’d,
cndl lost sight of it, though the illuminations
continued till wo arrived at the depot at dawn of
ciu). I have slated the facts in as plain terms as
possible, and hope that some other persons who
had an opportuu ty to see it may bo induced to
favor the public with the account of it.

A Tain Tor the Curious.
W ■ received tho following communication from
M.dor J. W. Wilkes, of Dooly count). Ha is a
h.: .*• ’y respectable citizen, well known to us, end
we feel no hesitation in ass ring the public that he
would make no statements which were not fully
reliable.— Macm Messenger.
Editors if the Journal d* Messenger :
Permit me to lay before your readers a few facts,
wh ch may furnish matter of speculation for the
curious, but may be doubted by some, or ridiculed
by others. They are, nevertheless, strictly true.
Some twelve ye rs ago I wont out with a party on
a deer hunt, and shot down a fine buck. While
dressing him, I cut up the haslet for my hoards,
and in doing so. I cut ou* a s oue of a dark green
ish color, about where the windpipe joins the
lights. It was from an inch and a half to two
inches long and quite heavy tor its size, although
it appears to be porous. 1 have heard cf such
stones from old hunters, and that they possessed
the- faculty of extracting poison, and other medi -
cal virtues—but they were seldom found. They
were called leasU ct Usoar stones. I have been a
frontier man and killed many deer, but have never
found another of the same kind, i laid it by more
as a matter of curiosity, than having any faith in
its virtues.
On the 12th u!t., I bad a favorite dog bitten on
the uoee by a large rattlesnake. The dog at once
commenced reeling and fell down. I was within
a few feet of him and immediately (ae the only
remedy at haDdi forced a chew of tobacco down
is throat. 1 got Lim heme ve-ry soon and dissolved
>cme alum, but found Lis jaws *:e rly set. I forced
! l en bis mouth and poured it down his throat. I
| reeoletv.d seeing in your paper of the sth
j the description of a stone and its virtue in
| rf . c *. ic ? 1 C ;-' C1; » !R possession of some family in j
i \ lrgima, w-.-.ch stone I presume was similar to'the
.. r.e I i.-'-a taken from the deer. 1 got a bowl of
1 waim water and applied the stone'to the places
I , tG ”: ‘ :!: i dropped it into tho water, when
} t coma see a dirty dark green substance shooting j
•>t of it. fnis I repeated three times with a *
sinr.liir re-u t. The fourth time it seemed to show
1 that a t~e v ?:*on had been extracted. In less than
, ~ imuutet: e dog got up. vomited up the tobaoce
j: cd the swelling subsided immediately. In iese
than two hours j.e was perfectly well, and eating
j anything that was offered him.
Now I v ’ not decide which of the three reme
i dies, the tobacco, the a:urn, or the stone, cured the
j dog ; but from the fact that he was immediately
| cared on tho application of the stone, should rea
l oonably weSth in favor of that remedy. In the
j article published in your f a er it is remarked, that
‘•we are cot aware that the existence of such is
known to the scientific world trail,” and it is
spoken of &« its origin being a mystery, and
whoily unknown. Now will not the above facte
reveal the mystery of their origin ( I h»ve now

with me when I obtaiued the stone. I live about

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE,
DETAILS BY TUB ATLANTIC.
i | Thl War—Austbiah Movemxkts—TLe foliow
_ ing despatch comes from Vienna. Wo give it for
what it is worth.
“Vienna, July 22.— Prince GortscfcakofTs mi»-
k 8:on to this Court has entireiy fai'ed. The Em
peror Francis Joseph will not disappoint the
expectation of Europe ”
It wa* expected, :n Vienna that if Prussia did
not throw any imme i3.te difficulty in tho way, a
new ar.d decisive protocol would bo signed by the I
Conference cll the 19th or 20 h July. A courier j
with the official communication of the answer of
P.ass'a left Vienna on Saturday, 22d, for Paris and
London. A statement from Bucharest, 19th, in
forming us that Gen. Hess had crossed tho Walla
chihti frontier is incorrect.
Pbcssia.—l seems hopeless to expect that Pros
sia wiil ooidialiy come to terms with the Allied
Powers- We have, however, no further intelli
gence on which tn decide. A story is current that
the King has declared openly—“it would be eoUii*
to go to war with Russia.”
German Confedebation.—On the 20th the rep
resentatives of Austria and Prnssia presented their
treaty o! April 20th to tho Diet at Frankfort. Tho
cabinets invito the Diet to strengthen the Austro
Prussian Convention by acceding to it uncondi
tionally.
The Danube.— On the 19th another battle was
t .gbt near Giurgevo, in which the Russiaus arc
reported to have been completely defeated, with
two of their generals killed. We have low or no
details of'thU second battle. The present situa
tion of things on the Danube may bo told iu a very
lew words. All parties are wuitir.g for the ad
vance of Austria. Gan. Gortsckukotl commands in
person the 70,000 men htationed at Frateschti while
80,000, supposed to be under are
posted at Budeechti, on tho left bauk c f the Ar
gich, to guard against any attack from the Turks
at Oltenitza. It is considered that Omar Pacha
wid not Itazard aay?«i ero) *rm>nt v nassisted
by his aides. As to tf? o allies, their motions are
slow, but it is evident they aro systematic, and
drawing 10 an end ihat shall be decisive.
Gen. Grotschukoff announces that ho will hold
the Danube Provinces with 1.00,000 men, if neces
sary . lie also orders that to all official documents
published in the Principalities in which the name
of the Emperor Nicholas occurs, the title of “Pro
teeter of the Principalities of the Danube,” shall
bo added. Three Austrian officers of rank arrived
at Sehmiila. loth July, and immediately left for
Varnu as <Commissioners of tho Austrian Govern
ment. O *.r Pacha lad returned from Varna and
was gone to Rnstchuk. Lord Cardigan, with the
llrh English Ilu. sars, had returned to the camp at
D. vno, ah or u of two week’s dura
tion along the banks of the Danube.
Tho advanced force of the Britiiharmy has pro
greftsed no furtl.er than Devno, j nd the remainder
uro encamped in differem{positions between that
place ar:d Varna. The health and diacip ino of the
troof s were excellent. The incorporation of the
Bashi Baz »nka into the allied army is completed.
Ail tLcir offices are European, and iu future they
are to be regularly paid. Admiral Hamnlin has
ordered tho immediate construction cf FO troop
ships, capable of transporting 40u0 men at each
voyage. It is surmised that these ship# arc for
use on the Danube. Tho Generals iu Chief aro
under?tood to havu now completed all their plans
of the campaign.
A now personage, Gen. Wassilczikoff, has neon
reconnoitoring the Tomosch and Altsohacz passes
into Wallachia. On the llth of July, Gen. Rudi
ger suddenly left Warsaw, but as he is very old it
:s not likely Lu w.ll join the army in the field. It
is said that Gen. Paskiewitch will be re instated
in command ; the story of his disg*ace was doubt
ful. The Russia’ continue to destroy tho roads
and bridges leading from Transylvania into Mol
davia. Gen. Ludcra is concentrating liis strength 1
it Obiliesri, east of Bucharest. Tho Turks are
ontronching themselves at Giurgevo. Iu the ro
eenf action at Giurgevo, the Hitman of the Cos
acks, and Gou. Buiurlou were wounded—not I
killed « ' was reported.
The Bay of Tunis has scut a present of 42,000,-
000 francs to the Sul'an.
Captain Butler, the English officer who volcn 1
tarily remained in Silistria, and rendered valuable
* ervico to the Turks during tho siege, has died of 1
wounds and fatigue. ~ 1
There are strange rumors respecting the death <
of the Russian General Aurep. Gortschakoff and 1
he were known t-j be at variance, and it is now
whispered that Gortschakoff knows more about
the so-called suicide than any oho else. So, at
least, say the letter writers. <
There is no foundation for the recent report that 1
five Greeks had attempted to assassinate Lord
Raglan. 1
ihe Baltic. —Napier’s fleet has left Baro Sound. «
Cholera has disappeared from on board. Numer- 1
ous 'ransports, with tho baggage, &c., of the 1
French expeditionary land force have passed the <
Sound. Bomarsund, in the Aland Isles, is to be
bombarded on the arrival of tho Freuch troops. I
Martial law has been proclaimed at Riga and in the 1
district of tbe Dunn, in consequence of the disaf- t
lection qf tho inhabitants towards Russia. It is 1
assumed by French and English politicians that if 1
tho Wwstoru Powers tako and keep possession of
the important position of the Aland Isles, Sweden I
will no longer hesitate to join their ulliance. The
fleet of 90 gunboats (Anglo French) is low com-
pie ted, and orgunizsd into three squadrons. Tho 1
bulk of tho allied fleet has put to sea, and is sup- t
posed to be cruising off the Gulf of Bothnia. i
The Black Sra.— On 18th July three English 1
steamers arrived oil' Odessa, and aiter a heavy ean
nonnade, destroyed some sn ail workß near the 1
snot where the steam frigate Tiger went ashore. 1
The object oi tho attack was to complete tho dca- <
truction of tho Tiger, to provent her machinery t
being available to the Russians. I;
The rest of the fleet wore at sea. t
On the 9th, Cant. Parker, of tho British frigate 1
Firebrand, was shot through the heart at Saliua,
und was buried at Constantinople on the 12th, with 1
military honors. 1
Greece.— The insuiroction is completely at an t
end. The cruisers ot tho allied licet seize all tho 1
arms they find on board the ships they search.— i
The Porto has established two conditions for the t
ra establishment of peace with Greece; the first is i
u publio repuratiou ; the second, au indemnity for c
tho loss and damage occasioned to Ottoman pub- 1
jecta. That indemnity, tho amount of which is to <
be fixed by four Commissioners, Turkish, Greek,
French and English, is to bo paid within a brief £
period. If in two mouths complete satisfaction is c
not given to Turkey chat power will resume its ?
hostilo attitude towards Greece. •]
Asia. —The Tnrko Egyptian division sent, un
der the orders of Hussan Pacha, to the Asiatic -
coast, had succeeded iu landing arms, amnuition, T
and field artillery for the use of Sohmayl’s army, v
which is every “day becoming bettor organized.
Two French Engineers have proceeded on board J
the frigate Vauban, to make a reconnoisanco in j
tho direction of Batonm and along the coast of
Circassia. *
Spain. —Gen. Evcreata San Migue l , Is named
Minister of War. His nomination was received
with enthusiasm by tho people. The Infant Don
Fordiuando, brother of the King, is dead. Count
Monternoliuo, accompanied by General Elio, has
eutorred Navarre, wlioro a Carlist movement has
broken out. Tho French Government is about to
establish a corps ot observa ion on tho Pyrenean
frontier. Queen Chris' ina has disembarked at Port
a Vendree, Queen Isabella has not loft Madrid.
On tho morning of the 19th the insurgents of
Madrid sacked tho Palace ot Queen in
theOalle do las Rejus, and the mansion of M. Sal

tina h a to take refuge in tho Royal Palace, and
afterwards fled towards Franco. A report circu
lated that she was taken prisoner, but this state
ment waa not true. At Ms’rtos, near Grenada, a
battle was fought between the forces of O'Donnell,
and Blasor. 1: instated tha. the Count de Vista
llermosa, and General Blaser, (Royalists.) were
wounded and taken prisoners. There seems to be
no present intention on tho part of tho insurgents
to dethrone Isabella. Tho Duchess of Montpen
sier has no party whatever in favor of heiself or
her French connections.
Madrid private letters say that the effect pro
duced on tho public mind by the fall of tho Sar
torius Ministry was immenco. Enthusiastic rivals
to liberty and to the Generals commanding tho
Constitutional army rung through the streets, and
the public buildings were illuminated.
Events have hurried on with rapidity. From
various sources we collect the following :
Madrid, 17th. Val'dolid declared jesterday for
the movement. Tho Captain Generals and Gov
ernor are prisoners. Progr sista Generals have
taken command of the troops. 'I he Ministry has
just resigned. Tha Queen has aent for General
Cor tova. Risings in Catalonia are spoken of.
Madrk>, 17th, 10 o’clock. P. M.—A popular
emeuie has commenced in the streets of this cipi
til. The people have arms and chiefs. Alarming
cries are heard.
Second iMpatch 18th. 1 P. M.—During the
whole night the city was in tho hands of the insur
gents. Between two and 8 o’clock this morning
the troops were engaged and acted with vigor
Barricades have been erected. Tho Gazette pub
lishes the names of the new ministry. The
whole of Catalonia has risen with the Captain-
General at »ts head. Fighting is gou gan at seve
ral points.
St. Sebastian, July 19'h.—Gen. Espartero has
gene iron Logrono to Saragossa, to place himself at
the head of the revolt. General Gabala is about to
joiu him. The municipality of Tclose, and the
civic guard assembled at Villareal have followed
the movement. The city of Pampeluna and parts
of its garrison Lave declared themselves. T e
Captain-General has shut himself up in the citadel
with the remainder of the troops
Perpignan, ‘2oth July.—Barcelona, although not
in arms, is far from tranquil. A decree restores
arms to the National Guard. Another decree
suppresses the detective police—the people having
demanded the head of Tauaesso, its chief. A
third proclamation orders a levy of citizens to put
down incendiaries. Valencia has pronounced:
Saragossa also. General Espartero, nominated
ch es of the revolutionary Junta, is at Saragossa.
The garrison and population of Puycerda have
declared for the insurgents.
A Mter from Madrid to the London Times,
states that on the evening of the 19th tie fighting
was still active in various parta of Madrid. The
insurgents were fearfully incensed against the
Queen Mother, and were calling loudly for her
Lead. As already stated, her Palace on tke Calle
de las Rejus, was attacked and gutted. The peo
ple then rushed to the residence of Sartorious,
Count de San Luis, the unpopular^Minister, where
they r»ashcd all the furniture and nearly demol
ished the building. Next they demolished the
residence of M. Salamanca, whose railroad specu
.ations in connection with Christina and her clique,
are so notorious. Count Quinto, late Aicade
Corrcgidcs of Madrid, had also his house pulled
down.
“A Gazette Extraordinary, says the correspond
ent cf the Times, published towards mi night,
Jn!y, 1 Sth, contains royal decrees accepting the
resignation of Ministers, and appoir ting General
Cordova Minister ot War. He will have to form
the new ministry, bat I doubt his being success
ful, or at least I *doubt its satisfying the people. In
the decrees the highest praise—higher than is
customary on such occasions—is lavished on the
outgoing Ministers, especially on San Luis, the
object ot public execration a: this moment, who is
warmly thanked for the great services he has
rendered to his iQueen and country. This is rather
too strong. and the few persons I have as yet heard
speak ofr. are indignant. The people can hardly
lai. to be eras oersted by it.
“I am informed that tne insurgents cut down one
of their own people at the door of Salamanca’s
Louse for attempt! rg to steal some plate instead, I
suppose, cf pitching it into the bonfire. Tfcev are
particu ariy anx ous to give to their movement a
cueractcr of strict morality, since its object is to
root cut a system of gross immorality and corruD
tion.
The following are said to be the names of the
new Ministry:
“ Moierado Opposition—Duke of Rivas, Presi
dent ot the Council and Marine.
Progrcsista—Cantero, Finance.
Pro I* resists—Gomez de la Serna, Grace and Jos
tlca.
Progress?a—Rods, Fomento.
Wat a Moierado: is now u.tra-libera’— Rio Ro
sas, Interior.
Mcderado Opposition—Mayans, Foreign Affairs.
Moderado Opposition—Cordova, War.
Gen. Cordova resiguod the Presidency of the
Council in favor of tho Duke de Rivas.
“The houses of Messrs. Domenech and Quinto
were also sacked last night, and that of Count
Yistahenaoeo, who is second is command of the
j div sioß sont against O’Donnell, fheinsurgente
burned bonds, bank notes, and even, I am assured
threw bags of morffey into the Ikmes. I myself
saw them throwing in plate. Quince’s house con
tained some very valuable picture*, which were
all destroyed. They began sacking Sar orius’
house at nine last night, und they were atili burn
ing its conteuts some hours fri'ter daylight this
morning. Molina and Calderon de !a 3arca, being
inoffensive men, and considered for less corrupt
than their colleagues, were not interfered with,
“The Clamor Publico gives rather a couleur de
rose account oi last night’s proceedings, carrying
it down to 2 in the morning, at which hour the
fighting began. It says othing of ‘.he sacking of
the houses, but expatiates on the joy of tho popu
lari on, and says that nu morons groups went to the
Casa de Villa (Town hall), and there nam*2d a com
mission to transmit to the Queen the wishes of tho
pco le. Tbe Commission obtained an audience of
the Queen, and placed au exposition iu her hands.
It ran thus: - 4
“Senora:— The undersigned, Spanish citizens

England.—On the evening of Monday, tho 24th
a most animated debate took place in the Houses
cf Lords and Commons on the Queen’s Message
soliciting a vote of credit to carry on the war.
The fallowing is the Message:
“Victoria Regina.—Her Majesty deeming it ex
pedient to provide for any additional expense
which may arise in consequence of the war in
which Her M .-josty is engaged against the Em
peror of Russia, relics on the uffection of the
House of Lords and Commons for their concurrence
in such measures as may be necessary for making
provision accordingly.”
In the House of Lords an affirmative address
was formally agroed to. In tho Commons Lord
John Russel staled that a present vote of three
millions of pounds sterling (£3,000,000) was re
quired. Lord Dudley Stuart moved that the
Chairman report progress, but eventually with
drew his motion on tho understau ling that he
would renew tho discussion on the Committee’s
Report and would move an address against the
prorogation of Parliament. Tho vote was then
agreed to.
On bringing up the report of supply tho next
day,
Lord Dudley Stuart moved an addition to the
resolution of which ho had given notice, praving
Her Majesty not to prorogue parliament without
lull explanation being givou by ministers of their
intentions and olicy regarding the war. He refer
red to the published report of l»ord J. Rußsell’s
rpeecb, in moving tor a voto of ere lit for £3,000,-
000, in order to show that there was an inconsis
tency between his first statement and subsequent
explanations; and also that there was a want of uni
ty of opinion in the cabinet. Ho also criticised the
military and naval operations in tho East and in
the Baltic, charging upon our commanders and
those who instructed them from home, a neglect of
opportunities and lack of energy in carrying out
the objects of the wur. He also denounced the
vacillating policy of Austria, and the weakness of
our own government in trying to conciliate that
power, instead of trying to esrry the war into the
enemy’s dominions, by invading the Crimea and
taking Sebastopol. He next attacked Mr. Cobden,
on account of nis supposed pro-Russian predilec
tions. He concluded by btating his opinion that
the course he had taken was perfectly constitu
tional.
Sir J. Sielley seconded the motion.
Mr. Sidney Herbert replied, expressing the
willingness of government to be bound by the
decision which the House might arrive at. Ho
defended the commissariat department against tho
attack of Mr. Liyard last night, lie next went on
to refute the assertion of the noble lord, that no
thing had been done by our fleets and armies. 110
condemned the impatience exhibited by the noble
lord, in expecting Russia to be “crumpled up” and
tho war terminated in the four months which have
elapsed since tho declaration or war. He express
ed the fullest confidence in what will be achioved
as the w*r progresses.
Mr. Layarci, in reply, defeuded the statements
made by him lastoveuir.g, which ho complained had
been misrepresented, lie denied that ho intended
to cast any blame on the government with respect
to tho war. He regretted the motion brought for
ward by Lord D. Stuart, though he thought the
government was liable to a charge of want of
energy and spirit in the conduct of tho war ; and
though he had confidence in many members of
the government, ho had no confidence in Lord
Col. Dunne contended that the military prepara
tions were not made in time.
Admiral Berkeley defended the Admiralty, and
read passages from despatches from commanders
in the Baltic, to show that they had done every
thing in their power to bring out the enemy. He
denied thst instructions had been sent out to Ad
miral Napier to hold his hand, and said he had a
complete cork blanche as to the operations he might
undertake. , . .

B P erfccll J- exhausted.* Word was im
me-d'ateiy seut to the Water Works, but from
;? mo cause or other nearly an hour elapsed before
m water came. This delay caused much com
meut, and the Water Works Company was cen
sured very freely. We learn iromtne superintcu
Oelit that tho plugs iu the buck part of the city
were ail running when the fire occurred, and not
withstanding there is an ordinance requiring all
she plugs to be closed on such occasions, except
those i?i the immediate neighborhood of the fire,
yet these plug? remained open until tho company
*ent around men and had them closed. After
ihia wus done there was no luck of water at the
lire.
But in the interim the fire had spread wUh fear
ful rapidity, aud had crossed Tchonpitoulas street
and extended back to Foucher street. Tho heat
was most intense. The day it?elf was oue of Ihe
hottest ot the season, and this, united to tho lire,
ulmost drove the firemen from thoir engines, ihe
gutters were filled with oil aud other mflamuiuUe
material, and many oi the engines had their sne
tion pipvjs in them, increasing rather than subdu
ing the flames.
The boat was, for a couple of hours, so intense
that it vus difficult lor the firemen to remain at
the brakes more than a few moments at a time,
and several persons vere sanstruck. Tho crowd
was immense. Mid as usual, greatly obstructed the
efforts of the firemen and of tho many parsons
who wore busily engagcJ in removing property,
by hand or i n drays. Mayor Lewis was on the
ground und exerted i.imsoif to preserve order and
secure prompt action, but w.* must say that though
th" firemen worked well, there appeared to be but
very little of th t concert of action whicli is iudis
pensub.'e in so extensive a conflagration.
We are sorry, too, to see towards tho close of
the fire, a spirit of rowdyism manifested by tw 1
companies, which is almost tho first ol the kind
that ever stained the fair annals of our Fire De
partment. Wa allude o tho fight that took place
iu Commerce street. We are not able to say who
originated the difficulty, but it is to the best in
terest.- and the credit of both companies that the
affair should bo strictly inquired into, and the
offending parties properly reprimanded. Our Fire
Department has hitherto justly boasted of tho
amicable deposition evinced by the companies
towards each other; we trust it will at once put
a stop to proceedings that will otherwise soon ac
quire for it a reputation as disgraceful as that of
3ome of its Northern brethren.
The flumes speedily made • heir way into tho row
of buildings on Magazine, between JPoydrcs and
Lafayette, occupied by tho well known house of
Marlin, ,Owen ACobb. ShultzJHaddeu.A Lotting,
Woodruff & Uo., Parmelo & Bro., &c. ’ The v/alls
oftlic.se buildings had been generully thought to
bo fire-proof, but they certainly did not deserve
that credit, Poik, Iprd, bacon, gunny bags li
quors, rope and such materials, when all in flames
at onco, are strong 'ots. of fireproof wal.s; and
these speedily fuiiod. Fortunately they fell with
out injuring any oue, and gavo groat or iu'fili

at the corner of Tcboupitoulas and Lafayette

tablishment, was not bo fortunate. Tho wall fell
with a tremendous crash burying three persons in
the ruins. They were all extrieted, and v.o hoard
that one of them had sinco died. Wo did not
ler.rn their names.
The flames soon croeao 1 Commorco Btrcot, and
caught the houses extending through to Magazine
street. Those on the upper Bide of LuiTyotte
streets were also in flames, and several of those
on the levee sido of Tohoupitoulas street were
burning. The lire raged with groat viruiemoj for
fully five hours before it was subdued, consuming
property valued at about a million of dollars. We

conflagration : On the swamp sido cf Tchonpi

Wo have stated that tho loss by this lire is es
timated at a million of dollar*. Os this about
two-thirds was covered by insurance. Some of
our insurance companies have suffered severely,
but wo trust and believe none more than they can
stand. Tho lack of wator in tho a 1 art was tho
cause of this great loss. Had there been a suffi
ciency of wator when the engines first reached
the Bpot, not more than two and probably not
more than one house would have boon burned.
We commend this fact to the attention ot the city
authorities. Another thing is the want of a proper
fire alarm. Nearly an heur elapsed from the time
the fire commenced before the alarm was spread
generally throughout tho city. With a telegraphic
tiro alarm, and a proper supply of water, such
destructive fires could scarcely occur.
In our brief and imperfect notice of ’his fire
in our evening paper of yesterday, wo atuted that
there was a rumor that seme kegs of piwder had
exploded in the store of Converse & Co. Wo
are happy now to state that the rumor was false,
as there was not a pound of powder in tho storo at
tho time of tho fire.
A number of petty pilferers were arrested during
the progress of tho nro, and several persons who
were sun struck or injured by tho fight among the
fireir m were taken off by thoir friends.
So ended this great fire, aud wo trust it may be
lolj ere we have to chronicle a eimiliar one in Now
Orleans.
Fires in New York,
On Sunday morning, about four o’clock, A fire
broke out in 225 Grand st., be : ng one of the row
of six one story buildings owned by Mr. A. 11.
Towree, of Brooklyn. The building in which the
tiro is said to have originated was occupied by Mr.
Hoyt, as an upholstery and furnishing storo. Tho
alarm was immediately given, but before the fire
department were on the ground the flames had
extended to the three two story frame buildings
nearly completed, situated on the corner of Grand
and Sovemh-bts. Engine Companies Nos. 8 and
10 wore at work, and were soon followed by
the other companies, and every exertion was made
to extinguish the fire. Owing to a scarcity of wa
ter, and a strong breeze from the north, nearly
every building on the block, bounded by Grand,
Seventh, Eighth and South First sta., were levelled
to the ground. The buildings were ali built of
wood, with one exception.
The following is a list of tho buildings destroy
ed, with tho names of the owners and insurance
as far as could be ascertained :
On Gnihd st,from the corner of Sevonth-stree*,
throe now bui'dings, nearly completed, and six
one story buildings, occupied as stores, and owned
by Mr. A. II Towree, of Brooklyn. Less about
$7 .000; partially insured.
Mr. John Gillette occupied ono of the stores as
a store house, and lost several hundred dollars
worth.
Mr. John Knight occupied another for a looking
glass and pictare frame manufactory. Loss about
$1,200; Insured for SBOO,
The remainder ot tho row was occupied for
second hand furniture and clothing stores.
No. 229 Grand street, a small building, was
owned by Mr. A. Smith, and occupied by Mr.
Moore as a shoe store.
On the north side of Grand street, three frame
houses, Nos. 216, 218 and 220, were considerably
damaged by fire.
Mr. David H. Brown owns No. 220. L'ssabout
S4OO ; covered by insurance in the Fallon Insur
ance Company. Nos. 216 and 218, owned and
occupied by Mr. Gotleib Seibofd, were damaged
about $700; insured for SI,BOO in the lieekman

lothe Editors of the Federal Union:
nrlrnM* i ’° llr r “ l>er ot ’ thu alt., that I
?11,;,'i endel V V “ r , to ehun K° the issue between the
Grand Jury of Gilmor county and myself to a per
sonal controversy with >ou. The remark is not
true. I have sought no such charge of issue, but
have, when attacked by you without provooatiou
and without truth, repelled the attack and exposed
the falsehood. And I would hero state, that you
aro unable, by stating that my object is to change
the issue, to deter me, whenever I choose, from
answering your scurrilous assaults. Nor is the re
mark before alluded to, an original one of yours.
»c is purloined irom a sheet as dirty and infamous
as the Federal Union is known to be; and, for
God’s sake, whenever you practice plagiarism, do
filch from higher authority than the paltroon edi
tor of the Marietta Advocate.
You state, byway of sustaining Samuoi Jonos’
charge, reiterated by yourselves, tha*; the present
ment was known all over this country in a sow
days, &c M and that 1 wai cd from the second week
in December uutil the 6th of February before I
demanded an investigation, &c. Your first state
ment is untrue. It was not known all over this
country in a sow days after the pre-entment was
made. When I left my homo in Cedar Valley for
Gilmer county, but one week before my demand
was made, and the saaio weok that the Cassville
Standard reached that placo, there were not five
persons in that valley who had even heard of the
presentment. As to tho length of time that elapsed
between the presentment and my demand, 1 have
but ono othor additional statement to mako to show
the falseness of your reasoning from the facts you
assume, and that is, that tho oxculpatory evidence
ordered to bo p inted by the Houso of Represen
tatives discloses that that testimony was taken in
Gilmer county in the month of February, and that
my demand followed on the sixth day of tho same
month, so soon thereafter as I could travel from
that county to Milledgevilie. And with this fact
staring you in the face, you have tho unblushing
impudence to assert that my demand wa* delayed.
Yet complain of my “coarse and vulgar language”
as you stylo it, auf say “it is a very safe criterion
by which to judge of tho education, tho taste, tho
associations, and the whole character of tho man.”
It is true, I am a plaiu, blunt kiud of a man ; and if
it is degrading or disgraces ul to be so, it is ray
misfortune and not u y fault. And, being a plain,
blunt kind of mau, I am accustomed to speak my
sentiments, and call things by their right names,
and whenever any person says that which 1 know
to be untrue, if it involves my reputation, I have
never failed to brand it as false, even though the
falsehood should have emanated from the Editors
of the Federal Union. But it is an easy matter for
you, aftor having voluntarily, and without just
cau3c, attacked and slandered mo through your
columns, to say, byway of rejoiudor to my reply,
that the language is “coarso and vulgar,” and
thereby pass out of a controversy into which you
have voluntarily engaged. But, in that respect, it
is ray misfortune, it misfortune it is, to ho differ
ent from you. Again, my “associations” through
bfo have been of a character that, by somo means,
it has been inculcated into my mind that it is not
oxact y right thus to skulk out of a controversy
provoked by me. But your “associations, taste,
and education” being different, I w ; ll not censure
>OU for adopting such a course. You further stuto,
“Wo liavo no authority to speak for the next Leg
islature, but we can speak for ourselves, and we
promiso Col. Chisolm, and all others interested,
that it life and health is spared us, wo will, in due
tirao, lay before the public as full and faithful a
history of his official actings and doings as Solici
tor of tho Blue Ridge Circuit, as can be obtained.”
Faithful history/ It cert inly cannot be denied
bat that you will lay before tho public a “faithful
history” ot my official actings and doings. Your
disinterested course, all must admit, qualifies you
in a must eminent degree, to give u “faithful his
tory.” And certainly no person will bo so illiber
al as to say, that you, having published ovory false
affidavit and false charge that could bo trumped up
against me—that you having endorsed those char
ges, that your having deolined, when gentlemanly
roquoßted to do bo, to publish my defence to those
charges, and thut your known and acknowledged
inability to do aught but injustice to a political op
ponent in any kind «f a controversy, affords any
tho slightest presumption of tho most remote bias
or interest tending to incapacitate you to give to I
the public a “faith tul history of my official actings
and doinvs.” In “duo time,” you say you will
give it. Surely it will not be doubted, and that
“duo time” will arrive when your co laborers,
those engaged in the subordination of perjury,
shall bo enabled to manufacture and furnish you
with a sow more false affidavits to lay before the
public through your columns; until then, I ima
gine the “due time” will not arrive, nor your
“faithful history” will not be given to tho public.
You state lastly, twelve men under oath huve made
the charges against him, and offered tho testimony
to prove them, and all of his abuse of the Federal
Union will not blot the charges from the record.”
I would remind those Editors that those charges
by the Grand Jury wore mado upon tho affidavits
only of threo persons, and those throe persona
have since repudiated those three affidavits, and
with all that testimony before an intelligent Com
mittee of the Houso of Representatives, it being
all the evidence aa was shown by members of the
Jury, together with my evculpotory evidence, I
have, by ten of tho m mbers of that Committee—
four of them differing witu me in p »liticß—(to
their praise be it said) been wholly and entirely
oxonerated and relieved from those charges ; ana
the report of that commitee (they acting undor the
solemnities of an oat* ) is a matter of record, and
mrdigaut and false charges of tho Federal Union
can never effect that record.
In conclusion, I will say to those Editors, that
whatever they may say relative to my “education,
taste, and associations,” will not in the least de
gree affect me, lor I {[consider abuse from such
Editors as those have shown themselves to bo,
much higher than their praise.

The Revolution In Spain.
The N. York Times’ correspondent in London
writes by tho Atlantic, as follows :
Mr. Buchanan has sent, by the last steamer, a
special messenger to Wash ngton with a despatch,
part of which, because of the pressing importance
ot tho affair, was to be sent by telegraph from
Uuliiax. Mr. Soule, Jr, is to leave England to
morrow, by the Atlanti •, with despatches from his
father. You may, perhaps, form a correct idea of
what our Am J.ssaclorniu Spain hup written, by tho
authentic resume of Mr. Buchanan’s despatch. I
may say that persons A very advandcod republi
canism were perfectly astonished at the red energy
of his message. The following ure its outlines.—
A revolution has taken place in Spain. This fact
has occurred without any participation in it on the
part of the United States. The well-known rela
tions of the two Powers, Spain and America, make
it, however, of the utmost importance that tho U.
Slates should not remain indiffarentj lookers on
of tho reconstruction ol a Government, with which
they are to come in daily contact, on a point of
extraordinary importance. Tho Federal Govern
ment is so much the more entitled to do something
in that way, because other Powers will not scruple
to exert all their influence, so as to mako s he re
sults otthis revolution in Spain accord with their
peculiar sympathies and interests— sympathies and
interests entirely opposite to those of Republican
America.
England will protect tho Coburg-Braganza com
bination, with Pedro as King of the united Penin
sula. Napoleon has no objection , if succosslul, to a
restoration of the Bourbons in the person of Monte
rnoiiu, but for the time being, patronizes Isabella,
with Eapartero at tho head of the <- abinet. Russia,
merely to alarm her French enemy, intrigues for
Moutpensier, while, between all this active inter
iorciioe of crowned heads, in a monarchial point
of view, the national, the democratic republican
wish and tendency of Spain is left entirely un
aidod. Mr. Buchanan thinks that this indifference
is neither in tho interest, nor in the dignity of the
United States. Ho, therefore, hopes th t Congress
will not separate before giving tho President full
powers to act on the basis of a defacto revolution,
and in accordance with good faith, the law cf na
tions and popular sovereignty with every possible
energy, in lavor of the tree expression and realiza
tion of the Spanish national will, as the fruit of
this last struggle. Ido not pretend to have given
the words and the order of reasoning of Mr.
Bucha Man’s despatch, but maintain that 1 havo
correctly rendered its contents and spirits.
A Prediction by Mr. Calhoun. —The Eev. Theo
doro Clapp, the well known clergyman of New Or
leans, at present sojourning in this State, in a com
munication to the Eev. Thomas Whittemore, ro
fers to Slavery and the Fugitive Slave Law, and
to a remark made to him by the late Mr. Calhoun,
not long before his death. Mr. Cla; p says the
distinguished statesman, on one occasion aaid to
him, “Slavery cannot live long in the U. States.—
It will have run its race by the end of the next one
hundred and fifty or twfo hundred years. Slave
labor is too expensive to last long. In a populous
community it must ever be disastrous not only in
its bearing on their pecuniary interests, but also
in many other respects. Because, in such a
state of society, Iree labor is far the cheapest,
and will consequently be preferred According
to au eternal law of Heaven, in the long run, the
most expensive and unpropitious forms of labor
must bo everywhere superseded by the least costly
and most efficient.” —Boston Chronicle.
We find the above in a Now Orleans paper and
copy it for the purpose ot STiggcatmg a couple of
queries regarding it ? Is it true that Esv. Mr.
Clapp, a popular clergyman of New Orleans, now
at the North, wrote thus to Eev. Thomas Whitte
-nore. and if so, did he express the opinion at any
time held by Mr. Calhoun on the subject of Slave
ry ? Wc confess wf road the paragraph with some
surprise and not a little doubt its genuiness. We
certainly, and we imagine the great mrss of South
ern men never suspected the great Carolinian of
entertaining or expressing such sentiments, and
if he is not correctly represented, the above report
should be corrected. —Mobile Adv.
Anthracite Burning Locomotive. —Mr. Leonard
Phleger, of Tamaqua, baa constructed an improved
locomotive for burning anthracite coal, which
promises to reduce the expenses of railroad trans
portation very greatly. One of his locomotive
engines, the Philadelpeia Ledger st.tes, has been
running dahy between Philadelphia and Havre de
Grace, on the Wilmington and Baltimore Eailroad
for over two weeks. It has been attached to the
express train, consisting of six or eight passengers
cars, and as we are informed, only two
dollars worth of coai per day. The woodburning
locomotive which it replaced, consumed twenty
four dollars worth of wood per day. Pbleger’s en
gine has, it is said, fully es much power as the
other locomotive, and runs at the same syeed.
The furnace and boilers of the locomotive do not
now show the slighest signs of injury from fire.
The above information was derived from theen
giueer in charge of the locomotive, from whom
we also learn that the locomotive has given great
salifaction to all upon the line of the road, who
have examined it, and that it also offetuu.Jy pre
vents the aunoyai.ee and danger ol sparks. These
are tacts to be verified by the personal examina
tion of those interested in the succor of the expe. i
rnent. If those representations are fully borne out
after a sufficient test, the invention is a very lm
pertantene to railroad companies. The furnaces
and boilers ot the Phleger locomotive are alt built
I on an entirely new plan, from which the above im
provements reault.

Iho inscription impressed we suppose by fruter

conferred by assigning to the remains of Dr.
Gardiner a place in a National Cemetery, is per
haps explained by the epitaph. For, from the
popu’ar estimate of Congressional honesty, and
the numerous committees raised to investigate
charges against its members, the acknowledge

could desire. At this juncture, and as it was then
thought very unaccountably, several of the com
pany paled and left violently sick, and what was
before a scene or unalloyed enjoyment wa* con

Necessity of the Sabbath.— Dr. Farr, one of
the first physicians in this or any other country,
pledged (before tho House of Commons) bis pro
fessional character to the declaration that the ex
tensive research he had been able to make in physi
cal nature had brought him to the conviction, that
the Sabbath law is stamped no less imporishably
in the Decalogue, than it is on the constitution of
man and beast; and though, of course, no merely
physical investigation could determine the precise
amount, or tho particular times and seasons, much
lees of day, suspension, there was wrought into
the fabric and frame-work of organized life a ne
cessity for periodical suspension even of healthful
toil: an«l the suspension actually ordaiued by
Sabbatic »aw, or its equivalent, could never in the
long run be violated without present retribution.

Eastern Texas.
The eito of this Fort was selected by Gon. Per
sifer F. Smith about two \ *ars siuce, and is rep
resented to be a lino section ol tho country, with
excellent timber, stone ami water, and awpUmdid
grazing region. It is ou a branch of tho Colorado
of Texas, about a hundred miles from Fort Chad*
bonrue, on tho head brunches of tho Colorado and
Gio commencement of the groat staked plain or
Pluuo Eataoado. A lino duo west from Fort Chad
bourne, was pursued by C »1 Grey, until striking
Murcy s trail loading from For, Smith, in Arkan
sas, to the Uorsoho >d crossing of tho Pecos
thence totho sand hills, uud aoross the staked
plain, striking tho Pecos River some 45 mihs
above tho point where Capt. Marcy crossed. A
good route was found across from the suud niils
togother with an cxcedenfc ford on tho Pecos, and
the distance to r waggons end trains to El Paso,
lessened some sixty odd miles. Fom the Ptcoa

oftho Po k . f tho Guadeloupe mountains. wus
deemed moat practicable from the examinations
and report ot Capt. Ankrint, thence along tho
Mesa, northwestwardly to the Molino del More,
totho orossing of the Rio Grando, two milos above
the town of El i’use. /
This line lies wholly within tho S'ate of Texas
and is tho ono contemplated under tho recent
oburter givon to the Atlantic and I’ujflio Tail
Way Company of Now York, of which ; l.evi 8.
Chatlleld, (late Attorney General ot N. York) is
President, and lion. K. J. Walker, a Director.
The length of the line through Text! wilt not tall
far «hort of 800 miles, tor which tho Btato tins rio
votod 20 sections to each mile, making 18,000
square miloß A territory, or 10,240,000 acres of
laud. Under tho act of the Lagisiatur of Texas
making this grant, whieli passed and became a
law in December last, a belt of country extending
from tho eastern limits ol Texas totho KioGrui do,
the Western boundary ot the State, and tying be
lweou tho parallel ot 30 deg. 80 min. and 83 deg.
N. Lat., is secured Irani any further ioeati ms
either by bond rights, or otherwise, until the
Company building the llui'.roud ahull havo made
thoir selection, and if lauds enough uro not found
within this district, then the Company can locate
elßowhcre on any of the public domain of the
State.
A largo portion ot land passed over by Colonel
Gray is represented to boos an excellent eharnu
ter, line for grazing, aud upon tho streams ..nd
branches good for cultivation. At $0 an core,
which is net a largo estimate in the vicinity of the
road, tho whole amount for the 800 miles through
Texas would givo $51,200,000. This sum will
more than build the line through Texas.
We learn from El Paso, it is contemplated that
tho road will bo continued through a portion of
Chihualhnaand Sonora, with tho ultimate expec
tation of terminating upon the Pacific o ast, and
jiving an entire .railroad communication irora Cal
foruia h> the At lantic States. iroin Opelousas,
in Louisaiua, a road is already being construe od
towards Shreveport, on End river, and a line from
St. Louis towards Little Rook, in Arkansas. Capt.
Pope, of the Topographical Engineo-s, left El Paso
in March last, at the sumo port cm the E o Grande
at which Col. Gray took hiß departure, and lie is
examining u route through to Preston,cm Red riv
er. All those points, it is supposed, will connect
with tho main trunk in Texas.
We learn that tho pooplo of Sonora and Chihua
hua aro most anxious for the railroad, and w 1 do
anything in their power to aid aud assist its com
pletion.
At El Paso tho Padre Orliz, ono of tho most pro
minent aud inlluential men in Chihuahua, wan
Vico President of a largo railroad mo sing, held on
tl o American side of tho Rio Grando, and is ex
erting himself in every way to cause the road to
be built through Chihuahua, in tho vicinity of tho
town of El Paso. Every kindt ess and facility was
shown Colonel Gray aud his party, by tho Mexi
cans.
From the Rio Grande, Col. Gray pursued a duo
weßt coarse, striking the river and valley of the
Rio San Niguel, (sometimes called Rio Santa Ma
ria,; which empties into Lake Guzmun. The latter
is a salt lake, or a body of water so strongly im
pregnated with sulino matter, us to bo unlit tor
use. Upon its borders, and on the Rio San Miguel,
some lino land occurs, and fl.no springs of tresli
water. The lino valley ot tko San Miguel, to the
northward of Luke Guzman, is included within
the limits of the Gadsden treaty; also the fine tim
bered region in the neighborhood of Tubac, and
the valley of Santa Cruz.
EiSeveral new passes were found through the
ranges of mountains between the Rio San Pedro
and the Rio Grande, and over one hundred miles
1 cut off in distance from the emigrant road from E
Paso to California. Many picturesque ruins, L je
\ work of Apache Indians, were seen, and magnifil
cent ranches entirely deserted. On the 23d April,
1 Col. Gray and his party renoLcd the ranch of Cal
abnzaa, belonging to Governor Gandara, of Sono
ra, and advised the Mexicans of the approach of a
body of Indians, fallen in with the day before.—
An hour uftor Col. Gray arrived, an attack was
made upon the ranch by one hundred and fo»ty
Coyotero and Pinal Slano Apaches. Capti in Oar
cia, with sixty Mexican Lancers, happened so. in
nately to be at the ranch that day, and being pre
pared, met aud defoded the Indians, killing 15,
including one of the Load chiefs. This wui t' c
first instance in which the Apaches have met with
a single defeat from the Mexicans in the Santa
Cruz valley.
From Tubac, Col. Gray proceeded to the ranch
of Boozani, in !ut. 81 eg. 8 min , and despatched
a portion of his party in a northwest course to the
Gila, and proceeded himself southwest and west
toward the Gull of California, Lh a running two
so ar. to linos through the unknown region lying
in the northwestern part of Sonora, and oxtonding
to the northward of the parallel of 31 deg.
The explorations and rooonnoisanco of Colonel
Gray, mado in connection with tno Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Company through Texas, f hi
ll uahua and Sonora, and his previous sutvoy of the
Gilo and that region, as the Chief Survey of the
Mexican boundury lino, has given him an oppor
tunity of being better acquainted with Sonora and
Chihuahua than any one, imd v ill enable him to
present a deeply interesting and valuable report,
particularly at this point of time, whim so much
curiosity is felt for that section of the coufi ry.

Ducktown, is tho name given by tlio Indians,
to a small stream or crcok, having its source in
the mountains, flowing in a southwestern direction
into the Ocoa near tho Georgia lino; it is
on tho waters of tnis stroum, cover ng an area of
26 or 80 square miles, in one or two miles of
tho Georgia, and three or four miles of tho Norih
Carolina lino, that tho Ducktown Copper Minos
are located.
Tho first shipment of copper ore was mado by
the Hiwassee Mining Company, curly in 1852.
Bines then and up to tho first u’tirno, six or suvon
other companies have mado shipments, and n>a* y
more, are, and will be ready to ship, during the
present year. The annexed particular:, fur nibbed

Tho oro is raised from shafts, varying in depth
60 to 100 ieet, by a single horse : it is then crush
ed almost entirely by hand, packed in boxes of
500 to 600 pounds, and transported on wugons 65
miles to Dalton, or to the junction of Oaou and
Iliwaasco rivors, 80 miles, hence on small boats to
Loudon, tho present terminus of th i E Tennes

When we consider that the mines arc located in
a mountainous country, and tne consequent dis
advantage of being so remote from Railroad
transportation, in procuring the necessary machin
ery and .-pparatus for working, and term- tor
transporting—the results are truly wonderful,
challenging tho world for a c wparibon, in quality
of ore aud amount produced.

Awti l Fatality Among Railroad Laborers—-
The Galena (Wia.) Jeffersonian r.uysthat three or
four weeks ago tho cholera broke out among a
party of three hundred laborers on tho Illinois
Centrai Railroad, ea-t of that city, and n ar Scales’s
Mound. For a time it was thought that tho dis
ease could be subdued by medical treatment; but
tho mortality became so fearful that the laborers
were advised by their employers to fly. The
whole party left, some going otic way am) some
another. Mr. McCoy, tne contractor, states that
of three hundred in his employ at the time tho
disease made its attack more than tuilf are dtad , tho
major pait of them falling victims alter they had
flea. Beales Mound is 450 foot above tho level of
the Mississippi; the ground is dry and tho air
pure. No local cause can be assigned lor the mor
tality. Who can give an explanation of the cause
that produced such terrible results < Buch rtsu.ta
