of the town of Sevastopol as soon as the English
; army were ready to do so, which it wonfl be
within a week at latest.”
The Mom tear of the *Bth of March has the fol
i lowing deepatch from General Canrobert to the
f French Minister 01-wer, dated March 17th:—
Afontieur le Martchal, —I have the honor to make
you acquainted with eome of oar doings in the
trenches connected with our Beige works.
“On the night between the 14lb and ISth of
March we took by assault, in front of the parallel
opened before the Mameton which is in advance
of the Maiakboff Tower, and where the Busmans
morning of that day, they killed Captain Qailhat
of Engineers, whom we all regret extremely.
“The troops charged with tbie operation carried
it out with much vigor and daring, nuder the fire
of the musxetry and cannon of the place. It was
necessary to oontinne the operation on the night
between the ISth and 16th. As on the preceding
night, it was vigorously executed. The arnbus
oades wore razed. General Bosquet speaks in
terms of the highest praise of the energy of the
troops employed in these two actions, which offer
ed moet honorable esses of individual valor.
“Generals Nisi and Bezotreconnoi ered the par
allel opened daring the night, and they prepared
the works of another parallell near the Mamolon
in advance of the Malakhoff Tower. We are about
to undertake it to morrow night on ground whore,
unhappily, the rock is very near the surface—an
obstacle wnich we have bad continually to struggle
against nearly everywhere since the commencement
of the siege.
“Ou the left we have continued our works be
fore the central bastion. Dnring the same nights,
between the 14th end 15th and 15thand 16th, not
withatanding a heavy Are of grape and musketry,
we connected to tho old works, by a new parallel
of more than 400 metres, the trench forming an
advanced angle in the direction of that bastion.
“These operations cost us some 80 men killed
and wounded, among the tormer Captain Adin, of
the 2d Kegiment of the Foreign Legion.
“Daring the night between the 15th and 16th
the besieged, wishing probably to make a diver
sion on onr extreme left, and supposing, doubtless,
also that the works undertaken on our right ab
sorbed all our attention, directed towards that left
a sortie consisting of 450 volunteers from different
corps. This attack was met by a company of the
10th battalion of Chasseur a Pied and a company
of Yoltigeurs of the 2nd Begiment of the Foreign
Legion. The oombat was very brilliant; the as
sailants were weloomod by a rattling fire of mus
ketry, and were driven tack at the point of the
bayonet to beyond the parapet of the trench,
leaving 20 killed and wonndod in our hands, and
as many npon Ihe ground which separates the
trench from theambnscade from which they issued.
A great number were carried away by a detachment
provided with stretchers. This little skirmish
must have cost the Kussians one-third of the force
engaged. We had live killed and 12 wonnded.
“Daring the last eight days we have tried the
Are of a little battery constructed by ns, armed
and manned by the English, whioh opens upon the
great port. We observod that one of the war
steamere whose fire annoyed us, the Qromonetez,
was struok by onr balls. We now learn that they
had ecaroely time to tow her into the inner port
when she sunk. This incident is not without
value, especially as regards the moral effect it is
likely to produoo upon the garrison. The port is,
in fact, the line of retrea- the garrison, and tho
more threatening our action becomes on that line
the greater will be the anxiety and discourage
ment of the troopß.
“The Brigade of the Imperial Guard has been
very vigorously constituted. The best soldiers of
the Army of tho East have naturally found a place
thero and a noble recompense. Yesterday, with
solemnity, I presented to the Zouaves of the Guard
the standard Bent to them by the Emperor. Hiß
Majesty and yon, Monaierlo Mareobal, may be as
sured that it will be well preserved.
“Notwithstanding the budden and extreme
changes of the climate of the Crimea, the number
of sick is on the decrease. “Cokbobebt.”

Her Majesty’s Steam Vessel Viper, off Kertch, 1
March 8, 1855. j
Sir :—l have the honor to report that in, obe
dionoe to your instruction, I left this anchorage at
8.60 this morning for the purpose of examining
the month of the Kouban Lat e. I arrived off
there at nine, and ob.erving a small foroo of Cos
sacks on the north spit opened fire and dispersed
them; then examined the lake in tho whale boat
of this ship, but observing nothiDg of conse
quence, proceeded along the ooast to the Bouth
eastward.
1 had just previously taken possession of a small
vessel laden with charcoal and other goods, which
I brought in with me, with three prisoners on
beard.
At 1:50 P. M. I arrived off the Martello Tower,
at Dijimiteia, anchoring bow and stern at a dis
tance of 600 yards from the beaoh, and at 2 P. M
opened Are npon the fort, dispersing the few Cos
sacks that remained.
It is now my ploasing duty to inform you that I
havo effectually destroyed the fort, barrooks. and
gransiies (having set fire to the latter,) spiked and
disabled tho two guns, destroying tho ammuni
tion; and all, I sm happy to B»y, without any cas
ualty on board the Viper.

Tho following letter gives the particulars of the ,
attack on Soujak Kale, also alluded to in our tele- ,
graphio summary of Saturday:
Hxb Majssty’s Ship Liopaad, Son ax Bat, 1
March IBth, 1855. j
Sir:—l have the honor to acquaint you that,
from the information I had reoeived from the Cir
cassians, at Ghelanjik, and also from the observe- ,
tions of Monsieur Le Bris, of his Imperial Majes- ,
ty’s steam vesaal Fulton, as well as my own on the ,
6th instant in Soujak Bay, 1 was led to believe the
Russians had sent many guns, Btores, &c., from ;
that fort, and would probably leave if a force ap
peared off it. i
Wishing to have more certain information for j
yon, on my return to your flag, I, on the even- ,
ingof the 11th inst, when the Highflyer join- ,
od me, proceeded with the vessel’s name in tho (
margin to Sonjay Bsy, where we anohored on the (
morning of the 18th, but a fresh gale, with heavy f
swell, prevented onr closing the batteriee. I there- j
fore threw some shells into tho place; and the Cir- ,
cassians, who soon appeared in numbers at the ,
same time attacked the email fort the head of the
bay, opposite the town, drove out the garrison, ,
and burnt it nt eight a. m. This morning the Cir .
oaesians informed me they had a euffieient force, ,
and would attack Soujak Kale by land, if I would ,
do so by sea, and wishing to encourage them and j
embarraea the euomy, I immediately moved the ]
squadron to within 1,000 yards of the South Faoe, ,
and opened lire on it. From this point the enemy
had only ten guns to bear on the ships, bntthe
light winds and damp weather made the smoke
bang over and oonseal them from our fire, while
our masts above were canapicious to them.
We soon drove all the inhabitants and troops
ont of the place, except thoeo in the eastern batte- i
ries ; but I was much dieappointed to And that
the Circassians did not advance to attack them
when out of the town, as they had promised. I,
therefore, moved out again, as, with our small
force of men, it would havo been too great a risk
to land, the main body of the garrison being oloes
at hand.
The arsenal aDd public buildings are maoh in
jured, and several cf the guns were silenced and
dismounted. Onr loss, I am happy to say, has
been small; and some injury has been done to the
masts and hulls of the ships.
I was much pleased with the able way in whioh
ail tho ships took up their assigned positions ; and
have to thank Monsieur lo Bris, of the Fulton,
Capt. Moore, Commander Craufurd, and Lieut.
Armytoge, commanding the Viper, for their able
support, as well as all the officers and men.
The Russian force, apparently 1,600 or 2,000
men, and the other inhabitants, are now encamped
about a mile north of the town, having left a few
men in the batteries; they wiil have great diffi
culty in communicating with Anapa, heirg sur
rounded by the Circassians [who were collecting
reinforcements,] snd should thsy return to the
town, s smsll navsl force esn, at any time, drive

Pxacj Negotiations.—As ststed is our tele
graphic summary of Saturday, the latest intelli
gence from Vienna, under date of March 28, an
nounces that the Conference had taken up the
Fomrth Point, the Third Point having been laid
aside for the present—the P.enipotentianes await
ing instructions from their Government thereon.
A deepatch from Paris to the London Times,
dated March 28th, Bays:
“ The Minister of Foreign Affairs left Psris on
Wednesday evening for London, and on his return
will proceed to Vienna, to assist M. de Boarqnency
at the Conferences.”
The London Morning Chronicle, March 81st,
eajs:
“Count Nesselrode will not fail to attend the
Vienna Conference, snd take part in the discus
sion of the points. The Bussisn Plenipotentsries
refuse to admit that in accepting the Third Point
as interpreted in the Aide Memoire of December
2S, they have aaknowledged the principle of a
diminution of Russian power in the BUck Sea.
They assert that the demand lor a reduction of
the Russian fleet is contrary to the dignity and
sovereign rights of the Empire. The Fourth Point
is under discussion. The question of the expenses
of the war has not been mooted. With tne break
ing up of the Congress of Vienna, the four points
woula disappear, and both the war and onr re
Statements must assume larger dimensions. If
te Emperor oi Austria decide for the continuance
of war, all notions of peace may be laid aside for a
long time to come, and a struggle will ensue escb
aa involves the changes necessarily consequent on
great attempts in a great field.”
The following ia from the London Daily News:
“According to onr most recent commnnications
from Vienna, Lord John Russell is understood to
see little or no prospects of peace at present, and
expects to be in England by the 14th of April.—
Seme of the most sincere and intimate allies of
Ministers freely express their oonviction that any
peace made now would be precarious and uncer
tain.”
The London Times of March 83 oontains a letter
dated Conatantinople, March 19th, from which we
make the following extract: “The departure of
Ali Paaha for Vienna is now known officially. He
lesTM this in ten day. The Conferences are not
viewed favorably by the Porte. The continuance
of the war is preferred ; bnt it is because people
bare are convinced that any peace reanlting from
the Conferences would only be injurious to Tur
key. Bnt, indeed no one bielievee in peace. Aa it
ia now known that the Emperor, Alexander 11,
Will Mow the polio; of hi* father, it ia thought
that the war will be carried on with more activity
than over.”
In regard to the Third Point, which has proved
. a etumbling block at Vienna, the Morning Poet
- “The Third Point, it will be remembered, stip
ulates for the entrance of Turkey into the Euro
pean family, and for the limitation of the prepon
derance of Russia in the Black 6ea. This point
it ie trno, was, with the others, accepted by that
power; but now, when its object and scope come
f to be determined, it ia not sorpriaing that Russia
I ? h ° al . d endeavor to interpret them in a manner aa
: lllUe injurious to herself aa useless to ua—whUat
we are determined to see Piem carried out in ma
terial gnaiantees, such as the limitation of the na
val forces of Russia in the Black Sea to a squadron
, of a strength merely necessary for the purposes of
f police, and quite inadequate for aggression. In
. matters of such importance as these, it was not to
. be expected that Plenipotentiaries would be au
. thorixed to give a final answer. Bnt aa the case
now standa M. Titoff and Prince Gortachakoff
I will have put their Imperial Master in possession
ofthe requ.rementa of the Allies on this point,
. and will, no doubt, m the course of some days
| receive his instructions.” 3

ject, saja. Although we have studiously ab

or th* third point in the articles submitted to the
Conference, end interpreted by the Western Pow
ers. baa checked the progress of the negotiation,
and has given rise to strong donbts of its nltimate
suocess. The Russian plenipotentiaries appear
not to have been authorised to accede to the terms
on whioh Lord John Hassell and M. de Bour
quency were prepared to insist as to the prepond
erance of Russia in the Blaek Sea; and it now
rests with the Cabinet of Bt. Peterebnrgh to de
termine whether the Conference is to persevere in
its pacific labors, or to abandon for the present the
attempt.”
The Times further remarks:
“ We did not raise onr voice against the negotia
tion upon a basis which did not include the de
struotion of Sevastopol, as the previoua success of
our arms did not warrant us in insisting on a con
dition which the fortune of war had not yet placed
in our hands. Bat should the Conference be
ultimately broken off. the importance attached to
our operations in tne Crimea, and their result
would become the real criterion of success or de
feat. Thore is, however, one further chanoe of
negotiation, though a faint one. It is not alto
gether impossible that the answer expected from
St. Peterebnrgh may be in the formol some ooun
ter project, on which discussion may bo renewed.
We however, do not expect that any proposal
likely to be put forward at this time by the Russian
Government can be regarded as practicable or
sincere.”

the Brent in whioh it originated, ft appears that
Omar Pasha, walking through the fortifications of
Eupatoria, saw at a distance in the plain a enr
riogo drawn by six horses. He at once sent for
the chief of his gunners, and asked him if among
his men there wore any skilful enough to send a
ball into that carriage. ‘ Excellency,’ said the
man, ‘with the holp of God and your encourage

moment when all the world will bo flocking to it,
should lose one of its brightest ornaments. He
has used his authority to retain her in France, as
be has the power of doing by the decree of the
Emperor Napoleon I. from Moscow, in which it is
said that every eocietaire of the Theatre Franoais on
entering shall engage to play for twenty years,
and after that period may retire. The twenty
years date from the first debut, just before the
admisson takes place. As Mile. Rachel made her
first appearance on the 12th June, 1883, she belongs
to the oompany until the 12th June, 1868. The
Siecle, in an article which looks like a communique
from the lady herself, says it is trne that the Gov
ernment oan, if it pleaaes, prevent Mile. Raohel
from accepting her American engagement, bnt it
cannot compel her to play any more in Paris, and
she ie folly determined not to do so. She feels her
health failing, and having many relatives, besides
children of her own, she wishes to make a final
effort to ensure a provision for them.

Pabm, Maroh 26.
IJmust bo brief in the very important communi
cation I am about to make to you.
You will have received ere this oan arrive to
you, pacific assurances from Vienna. They are
more firmly founded than even they would indi
cate. Peace will be made.
The Emperor of Russia baa, through his Minis
ter, Nesselrode, declared his desire for peace. He
is sincere for peace on any terms that will confirm
the Preatige of Russia, and enable her to carry out
sooner than the enemies cf Russia imagine, the
projects of all the sovereigns of Russia from Peter
the Great, whoso conoeptiona they were, to the
present lime of Alexander the Second.
“From the moment when Lord John Russell
was named Representative of England at the Con
ference of Vienna, the desire of the British gov
ernment for peace beoame manifest to very many
observers,” says my informant, “but the warlike
proclamations and speeches of tho Emperor of the
French, and the parades of the Imperial Guard,
and the ‘intended departure of his Majesty for Se
vastopol,’ so obstinately announced by parties who
ought to be well informed, caused those to hesi
tate who wished for peace upon safe terms. It
would appear that we are to have 1 peace at any
price.’ ”
I am asnrod further that the Emperor has assent
ed to the establishment of peace reluctantly, aDd
if success in arms were certain, his regret would
be natural, ‘ids Majesty isimpressed, however,’
lam assured, “with a conviction that if peace be
not made, not a single man of the 70,000 or 80,000
unrivalled soidiere forming the French army in
the Crimea will survive the Plague sure to break
out there on the setting in of hot weather.” On
the other hand, to take Sevastopol at ail being
now problematical (but even if certain, its
possesion being sure to cause the death of its cap
tors from disease) to retire, from it would be the
proper alternative. Unfortunately “the attempt
to re-embark would be a failure.’’ “Not a man
would escape) the lire of the enemy.” “To say
that railroads, forts, trenches, artilery and fabu
lous Tssgvii nee formed by besiegers, would remain
to the beaeiged, would be superfluous.”
"Peace therefore we must have. Russia will af
fect grimaces in swallowing ‘conditions,’ but she
will accept them with a aecret gout of delight; for
peaoe at any price now to be obtainsd, we think
can hardly fail to be regarded as for the, Allies a
Moat lame and Impotent ccnaur on.
“It will after ail,” says a great personage, “be
only a second edition of the peace of Amiens.
Nine months from this date will see ns st wsr
again.”
Iwrite this with pain because of reflections
which will suggest themselves to every man who
shall read it. I state it on authority which appears
to me nnquestionable,yet so positively destructive
would a dishonorable or uprodnetivs peace be to
France and England of their military reputations
and pretensions, that I find it impossible to sup
press the doubt which my reason tells me is justi
fied in the matter.
Surely, if the siege of Sevastopol must be aban
doned because of the danger of Plague from the
effluvia the unburied remain* of men and animals,
the Allied Army might join the Turks, at Eupa
toria—or march to Simpheropol and there estab -
iish themseives or embark! I admit that such
movement might be opposed by the Russians, but
so much the better. The Allies would, at what
ever loes, be victorious. I cannot reconcile my
impressions with the assurances I have reoeived,
but still tbey are only impressions against asser
tions of a high authority.
The Emperor prooeed* to Osborne on a visit to
invite the lineen of England to the exhibition. Is
that really his Mtjasty’s destination!
Pahs, March S3.—On the great subjact of Peace
or War nothing decisive is yet known. During
the last two dsys contradictory accounts of the
progress of the Vienna Conference towards the re
establishment of Peace have reached os from that
city and eleewhere, and because of their general
unfavorable character censed a depression of the
funds. Daring the same period we have been
deafened by the din of warlike preparation. As a
climax, “The Imperial Guard Marched from Paris
yesterday.”
AUGUSTA. GA.. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1855.
1 Moreover, the beet Russian authority still i n
Paris—in n word, tho Prinoess Lieven—express
I diffidence in the power of the Conference to render
t palatable to the Cxar the aacrifl.ea that Russia will
be prayed to make, in order that the A lied Gov
ernments may safely announce to their subjects
that Peace has been made. Notwithstanding all
these adverse circumstances, the
1 had the pacific assurance conveyed In my letter
of Monday last, remains convinced of its correct
neas.
la this war really to end without reducing the
aggressive power of Russia ? Are the Allied Sov
ereigns to be content with the mere wordy pledgee
of a power declared and prijved by themseives to
be dia-imuiant, false, perndioua, and persi*tent in
her programme of univeraal domination! If not,
if the war is to be carried on, wiil the Allies begin
in earnest to attack Russia in her vulnerable part
—Poland ! Unless through Lithuania no sensible
impression oan ever be made on Russian strength
and power. Will that road to success be now, in
the eleventh hoar adopted i I doubt it; and Aus
tria quibbling and timid, and Prussia treacherous
and lailhlees as she ever has been, will not assist
in lessening the territory or the means of Russia
for carrying out the projects and system of Peter
the Great, Catherine, Alexander I, and Nicholas,
which the new Emperor Alexander 11. declares he
adopts in all their bearings, extent and force.
Here havo England and France been fondling
and flattering Austria, and permitting themselves
to be fooled, gu.'led, and cajoeld by Prussia, and
inconsequence counteracted, and virtually defeated
by Russia, when three words would have obviated
all those evils, —revolutionize! Austria and Prus
sia, and raised against Russia an eternal barrier.
Had those magical words “ Poland liveß again 1”
been pronounced by France and England—
Prussia, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Lombardy
would have risen as one nan, and freedom would
have succeeded to the despotism of Austria
Prussia, and as respects Poland , Russia.
Those words were not jM-ononneed chiefly be
eessful revolt of those neighboring countries might
tend, and also beoanse, in creating new, free States,
it was not quite oertain that France and England,
would bo aole to preserve the influence which
however feebly exercised, they positively possess
on the European continent. That miserable-cow
ard-policy which
Msku us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of,
prevailed; and presently, (we are told to expect,)
the “Tyrant”—“Despot”—“LiaT I ’—“Traitor” Rus
sia will be the professed and recognized Friend,
Ally, end 00-operating Agent of France and Eng
land in governing Europe—in fact, neither Prus
sia nor Austria is per se anything.
I do not pretend to the capability of deoiding on
the polioy hitherto fainoe their entente cordiale)
pursued in this regard by England and hranoe.—
It is no trifle to insnrreotioniae and convulse Eu
rope—to set in movement a power which it might
be found impossible to direct, oortrol or arrest.—
All that 1 presume to say is, that the chanoes are
unfortunately, that this contest will terminate
without the attainment of the end proposed at its
commenoemont, the disabling of Russia for future
aggression, and only beoause the Allies dare not
adopt the only sure means of arriving at it.
In the meantime the inaction of the At'ies in
the Crimea is incomprehensible, only on the hypo
thesis that they have been chloroformed in order
to afford time for negotiation. That Russia has not
suffered the interval to elapse without preparing
for a resumption of hostilities, is provod by, I am
sorry to be obliged to believe, their increasing their
Army between Porokop and Sevastopol to 200,000
men.
Tbie topic, this fact—war—sc absorbs the public
m’ud that unless to the promonader of the Btill
magnificent but much deteriorated avenue, tho
Champs Elyesee, the preparations for the Great
Exhibition to be opened on tho first of May—
escape notice. Ho observes, however, a snpnrb
ediuoe raised in tho place of the charming grove
with its classio title, which had been for ages the
pride, ornament and resort of the Parisians ; and
ho perceives other transformations of that Bus in
urbe into (I had nearly said common place) street,
with only the pre eneions to beuuty possessed by
tho interior Boulevards. I trust that it will prove
otherwise; but hitherto, and up to this moment,
the feeling on the Bubject of the forthcoming ex
hibition hag been frigid.

to a correspondent, an intelligent and indefatigable
gatherer of faots connectod with almost every ma
terial, commercial and industrial interest in the
United States, for tho subjoined accounts of the
great Salt Mines in the Monntains of Virginia:
The State of Virginia is moving the great work
of internal improvement, and is making a railroad
that will regoh the great Salt Mines 0! the Moun
tains, and in a few years that Salt will be distri
buted over the whole of the Eastern States—its
superior quality will insure lor it a ready sale
everywhere ; lor it is better worth ono dollar per
bushel lor tabl - use thau any ether salt that evor
came to our market is worth 25 cents. It is pure
chloride of sodium, and will remain us dry as flour
in any latitude lrom the equator to the pole.
This Great Salt Mine is in a trough between two
Mountains, at an elevation of 1,832 feet above tbe
level of the sea, and near the waters of the north
fork of Hudson river, a tributary of the river Ten
nessee, and noar the rivers of ihe State of Ken
tucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, where
these border on a southwestern point of the State
of Virginia.
Tue fossil Salt lies about 220 feel bolow tho sur
face of the ground, End is incased in a vast deposit
of gypsum.
About ten* years since, 'We boxes of geological
specimens wore sent to me from these mines and
from the surrounding country. In repacking
these into other boxes, some pieces of fossil were
put in a box with specimens of iron ore from the
great iron ore beds of Northern New York, and
remained in that connection until the present year.
On being opened, the specimens were all in good
order, the salt not having in the least corroded the
iron or produced any rust.
1 have no doubt that this dopoeit of salt resulted
from volcanio action. New River, tho head ol one
of the tributaries of the great Kanawha River, is
near this salt mine, and is undoubtedly tbe source
of the saline supplies of the deep wellß of the
Kanawha; but in its course thither it undergoes
a change; and when raised from the deep wells,
is found there to contain bromine in great abun
dance.
The Kanawha salinos are among the wonders of
the world; the salt water oomes trom a depth of
2000 feet, and is as cold as s northern blast in win
ter—thus exploding the theory that the beat in
creases in the earth everywhere, as progress ia made
downward.
The gas which is issued from these deep we'ls
in abundance, is sufficient to illumine tho entire
Northern Hemisphere, and rises with a forco that
is sufficient to throw a cannon ball a considerable
distance.
In the excavations made in the neighborhood of
the salt mines of Virginia, the bones ol the beho
moth are iound, of t size indicating os large as the
hall of a ship of the line.
I havo no doubt the table salt of onr market will
in three yoars be supplied by the Virginia salt
mines; and even now, our grocers cannot do bet
tor than to send to the suit mines of Virginia for
pure table salt, for the supply of their customers
who want a good article.— Hunt's Mag-mine.
Clat — Calhoun— W ebstxb. —The Hon. Daniel
B. Diokinson reoently delivered a Lecture at Bing
hamton (New York) on “ Calhoun, Clay and Web
ster,” of which we find tho following notice in the
Binghamton Republican:
“ The lecture was delivered to a full house, and
occupied over an hour and a half in its delivery.—
The personal intimate relations which Mr. Dickin
son had hold with bis great subjects peculiarly
qualified him lor such s lectuie, and be nobly so
quitted himself of his voluntary task. His lecture
was one of great interest and beauty, and highly
instructed snd entertained his numerous and at
tentive auditory. He gave a politioal and person
al sketch of the great triumvirate in the order of
their departure from among ns, in whioh he en
tertained us with a variety of interesting anecdotes
illustrative of their social and political characters,
and with extracts from some of their leading char
acteristic speeches. Calhoun, ns the pure and in
corruptible patriot, was graphically plaoed before
us. Clay and Webster, though respectively great
in station, were yet greater as Henry Clay aed
Daniel W ebster.
They were each great mon, but they oould not
well be oompared as to any superiority of great ness.
Mr. Diokinson repeated the magnificent peroration
of Daniel Webster in his celebrated reply to Robt.
Y. Hayne, of South Caro'ina, which we think is
one o. the finest, if not the finest specimen of true
eloquence in the English language. He was high
ly eulogistic of all throe, but especially of his great
political antagonists, and his lecture throughout
was extremely creditable both to his head and
heart. He eloquently and aptly ouupared, or
rather contrasted the great American triumvirate
with the baße and bloody one whieh soourged and
disgraced the French nation —DantOD, Robespierre
and Marat. The close of Mr. Dickinson’s lecture
was beautiful and touohing, nrd the whole produc
tion was admirably conceived and written.
Toucarxe Didioation. —Tho Rev. Irenaeus Po
ri ne attaches the following appropriate introduc
tion to his Travels in Europe and the East:
“On the side of Mount Lebanon, as I sat in the
cottage of my college friend Calhoun, he inquired,
“Are your parents yet living I” I said “Yee;” and
then 1 turned to the window, locked out over the
blue sea to the far West, and wept, as I '.bought
how rich the treasure of parental love, surviving
the peevishness of infancy, the waywardness of
youth, the ingratitude of manhood. And now,
when the children have gray hairs, going oat after
them as freeh and sweet as the breast of a young
mother yearning over her firs', born. God of my
fathers ' spare me to kiss the wnnkes of my parents
yet again. The prayer was answered ; and
To Mt Fatbxk and Motmeb,
With Filial Revxbenoe and Lovx,
I dedicate these volumes."

Hospitality at Hu's End.
The reigning belle of the last Hires seasons,
Mademoiselle de V , has recently assumed
the more dignified and privileged title of Madame.
A m-staks, at once tunny and most easy to
mak«, marrel the enjoyment of the weddirg
festivities. The family had decided to invito twen
ty of their most intimate friends to a wedding din
ner, and issued a hundred and fifty invitations to
a ball, to their general acquaintance.
The evening arrived. Townids seven o’clock
the dinner guests began to come. The first were
Monsieur and Madame M . “Ah!” said the
host to the hostess, “I had forgotten that wo had
asked Monsieur M and his wifo to dinner.
What shall we do?” “We can crowd a little,”
said She hostess; “where tweuty are cared for,
twenty-two can be served as well.”
The bell rings again, and Madame O and
her two daughters are announced.
I the O s come to dinner ? Are
they demented ?
The bell rings—“ Monsieur and Madame L
K .” Again, "Monsieur P and his
three sisters.”
The bell sounds incessantly; in tan minutes
thirty-nine persona are assembled,and by a quarter
of seven, the drawing room is graced by a oompa
ny of eighty-three—all there to eat the dinner pro
vided for twenty 1
The host and hostess were utterly confounded;
the guests were received with restraint, and the
embarrassment became more visible and more
painful every moment. ’Something must bo done;
and at length Monsieur V spoke to his guests
thus :
“ Gentlemen and ladies 1 my secretary has inado
a mistake, and invited you here, while tbe invita
tion should have been to tho ‘ Frera Prozencaux'
(a restaurant) our house being to < small to enter
tain you. It you w.ll again order your carriages,
il is there that, that”—the bell rings RgaiD, and
interrupts the speech. Some notes of refusal wore
handed, but also more guests were announced ;

last one hnndred and forty-throo guests, assembled
in the saloon of the restaurateur. Monsieur V
had forewarn(d him —so soon as he understood
that this absurd blunder had been made—that his
guests for the danoe had been invited to dino, and
his dinner guests to the ball.
Os course the intimate friends were offended by
this a.range coldness on tho part oi Monsieur
, and some resented it by not coming to tho
ball io the evening; thirteon camo at ten o’clock
in the evening, as the invitation had designated,
but finding no ono to reooive them, although u
lighted house, and learning that ono hundred aud
forty-three guests were being di-iod at tho Freres
Provencaux, they wont away furiously enragod.
Poor Madame V wearily endoavorod to ren
der agreeable the two hours’ delay of the dinuer,
to guesta who were famished, and who wore now
oveu more discontented than they were at first
overwhelmed with the honor they had thoug t to
receive. Her own good dinner, which was burned
toaocal at homo, haunted her imagination; and
tho probable bill for thus feeding this crowd of
persons, whom she scarooly know, and for whom
she did not care a fig. was oven a more disagreea
ble contingency to think of.
The next day Moseieur and Madame V were
busy in writing notes to their friends to explain
this untoward blunder; but thoy found it easier to
appease the momentary vexation cf their frionds,
than to bear with tho visits and civilities offsred
by the dear one hundred and fifty who were anx
ions to ovinco their grateful accoptarcs of tho ad
vance made by the V a, in thus asking them so
intimately.

The Great Four Mile Race—•Lexiugt&n the
Winner.
The long agony is over—the contost is ended—
the raco is run 1 The rival champions, Lexington
and Lecomte , who commanded tho earth to stand
still, who hashed the winds and rebuked the
waves, have fought the battle, and after a race
of interest and excitement, affording tho severest
and most incontrovertible test of speed, the crown
of victory is placed upon the brow of Lexington.
The lustro of the bright diadem lately won by
Lecomte has been dimmed and tarnished by f,he
glorious achievement of Lexington ; and never
was a reputation more nobly sustained than by
this noble horse, in his last effort to prove what
his owner has asserted, that ho could boat Lo
comte’s time, and aftorwards conquer Locomte.
For several days onr city has boon steadily fill
ing np with visitors from all parts of the country,
hardly a State boing unrepresented, the groat at
traction being the great lour mile raco between
Lexington and Lecomte. Ever Bince the=o two
great horse?, the sons of the noble Boston, mot on
Metairie Course last year, the excitement which
was then initiated by the astonishing incidents of
those two great races wheroin they met has bean
increasing throughout the whole lougth aud
breadth of the land. And when it was announced
that they would come together again on the same
field where each had been a winner over the other,
that excitement gained strength, and as tho day
for tho trial of “Greek meeting Greek” appro iched,
the influx into our city of people from all p.irts of
the country, and even from other countries, to
witness the “tug of war” between the champions
of the turf, became immense, until on the morning
of the great contest, the city literacy overflowed
with people; and the probabilities of the result of
the race between Lexington and Lscomte formed
almost the sole topic of conversation in every
circle.
All sorts of wagers wero laid, all kinds of spe
culations indulged in, all manner of predictions
confidently ventured, and it was amusing to wit
ness tho zeal with which the friends of each con
testant defended and backed tho merits of bis fa
vorite. Lexington and Lecomte wero the great
lions of the day ; and bulletins from the respec
tive stables wore waited for and read with the
same interest and avidity as though they announced
the possible change of dynasty, or the probable
fate of a nation.
When the snn rose yesterday morning many
besides the owners of these two gullont champions
of the turf felt it to be the doom of an impo tant
day : for there had boon some pretty liberal betting
on the result, besides the purse aud tho inside
stake to be run for. There was not any cne to bo
mot with who did not talk of tho race, ns i. ho had
a personal interest in it, and scurce'.y auyjj one
who had not made himself a j arty to it, by a wag
er of one or another kind. It was the talk at streot
corners, on ‘change, “on tho Kiaito, where mer
chants most do congregate,” in the private as well
as the public circle, by all sorts and condition of
men, omen and childern. In brief, it was tho
ruling idea of the hour. Nothing could supercede
or stand beside it. The race, tho whole 1 ace, aud
nothing but the race!
At an early hour in the day, various avenues
leading out of the city were literally thronged with
vehiclos of every discription, boariug full loads
of people to witnoHsthe great trial between the gal
lant Lecomte and Lexington. Public conveyances
were at an enumerous premium and they who had
not provided themselves beforehand, wore startled
at the rates at which they must choose between
going and staying at home. The cars on tho rail
road overflowed throughout tho whole day, aud
many made the journey to tho track cn foot: so
that by three o’clock, our city must have scomad,
to those few who remained behind, well nigh de
populated.
Just before the horsos were brought cut, the
field and the stands p T esoutod a coup d'cevit that
was worth going a great distance, and submitting
inconvenience to witness. The members,
the strangers, and tho general stand, inside and
on tho roofs, were all as fu'l os they could hold ;
and the congregation of vehicles of every kind in
the field was enormously large. Tho trees, too,
and the tops of the coaches and omnibuses inside
the traok, were covered. We have no confidence
in our ability to reckon the number of spec
tators who were present upon tho occasion, but
we think we may safety sot it as not loss than ten
thousand.
Os these, we wero happy to see so goodly a pro
portion of ladies present. The members of the
club, with their usual gallantry, relinquished tho
largest portion of their stand to tho accommoda
tion of this interesting part of tho throng, and pro
vided for them, not only good soats, and tho best
possible view of the race, but a choice dejeuner la
fourcKeM*, of which they purtock with great z jut.
Many of the ladies seemed deeply interested in
the incidents of the race, and quite rivalled the
gentlemen in the confidence aud good judgment
with which they backed their opinions, (iloves,
fans, bracelets, and other such graceful and grate
ful stakes, were freely wagered above, while be
low, the betting was going on betwoen the male
friends and backers of the horses, in a somewhat
more serious vem.
On the stand occupied by the ladies, wo noticed
fair representatives of overy section ol tho U nion ;
among those from other lauds, of whom there were
not a few present, was a member oi the household
of Her Majesty tho Queen ol England. Th<- at
tendance of ladies at tho Metairio Course races is,
indeed, ono of the most attractive features of those
occasions, and wo are glad to see that it is overy
year increasing in extent and in degroe. I'kero
was a resplendent share of the taste, the beauty,
snd the fashion, not only of our ci’y, but oar
country, present upon this occasion.
Lexington had been the favorite in the betting
for the last week. The friends of Lecomte, and
their name was “legion,” from a veiy proper
State pride, outnumbered Lexington’s friends, as
in political economy, supply and demand regulate
the price of a commodity, Lexington’s friends
having the “one thing neediul” in the smallest
compass, and in the greatest abundance, he had
the call.
Lecomte’s friends, waiting for two to one, that
they did not get, weie relieved frem “a heavy
fall,” which, if their courage had not oczod out
before reaching their pocket bottoms, would have
awiated them.
On Friday evening, the friends of Lecomte ral
lied, and fora few moments the betting was spir
ited ; several thoueand dollars changed hands, but
the money of the “Bed Biver party,” as they were
pleasantly called, soon melted into air, and Lex
ington resumed his former position. Lexington
was therefore the favorite, and stood so at small
odde, the largest bet we saw was 100 to 90. It w»s
said, that in the public stand, he stood 100 to 7£,
and no takers.
The appearances of the horses upon the course,
at the call, was the signal for increased anxiety
upon the part of those who bad backed their
opinions freely in regard to the result. It was with
no little difficulty for a moment that the crowd
could be restrained by the barrier, (a small low
feuce,) which kept them from the quarter Btretch;
but as those who dwell with ua are law abiding
members of the community in which they live,
one word from tho constituted anthori iesrepress
ed even the thought of intrusion.
Upon stripping the horses for the race, compari
sons were naturally made between the champions,
and never did rivals meet before, where the friends
of each were so sanguine. The time made by Lex
ington on the 2d of April had, if auything, glad
dened the hearts of the friends of Lecomte, who,
confident of victory, felt even that time, was no
test of their favorite, and preferred their meeting,
face to face. The firm, elastic, reaching step of
Lexington, as he walked forth, apparently con
scious of his powe<s and superiority, gave addi
tional proof to his friends that he would not de
ceive them in the moment of trial.
Lecomte, the illustrious discoverer of 7:26, came
in also for hia share of admiration sad applause,
and his numerous friends, and they were like
sands upon the seashore, vied with each other in
extolling his fine form and excellent condition,
which, Before starting, was pronounced by his im
mediate friends and those most interested in his
suocess, unexceptionable.
The course was in good order, about the same as
the day before—perhaps a little heavier upon the
inside, but to the eye, about the same. If the
weather had been ordered for the occasion—and
the order faithfully executed—it could not have
been finer.
Tkt Race.
Lexington drew the track, end the Eqnabble
between the starters, in regard to the start, was
really amusing. In all the four mile races which
have previously been run, it has been a matter of
very little importance, but upon this as upon
nearly all the great occasions of life, a “fuss” adds
to the excitement, and that was the order of the
day. But it did not in any manner affect the judge
who started the horses—he seemed to have a
proper and just idea of the necessity of an even
start, and nothing else but an even start would suit
him, and that he gave.
At the Up of the drum they darted like thun
derbolts, each determined to “do or die”—around
Dm turn they sped like twin bullets, sot a shade
between them; up the back stretch they flew like
doves escaping from a hawk—at the half mile (in
.a seconds,) they were locked—around the tnrn
oa! 3 L tr,ed K a S® in 5 ® slight pull before reaching
tue home stretch, and with renewed vigor (Lex
ington in the lead,) Lecomte renews his murder
ous attack. Lexington leadß the first mile.
With an unfaltering step the oombat is renewed.
Lecomte drives around the turn, and prepares
again for the struggle up the back stretch, the
paoe severe and steady. He reaches Lexington,
who again darts from him, and with no material
change of position for a mile the same efforts aro
continued—Lexington still in the lead. On the
back stretch of the third mile, Lexington opens a
gap upon him, and Abe upon Lecomte makes a
lively demonstration with steel, to which the noble
acimul gallantly responds, and in a desperate
struggle of nearly the whole stretch, shows his
willingness to respond; but the unconquerable
lead him, apparently at his ease. In rounding
the turn for tho homo turn, Qilpatrick upon Lex
ington made a lively move, aud opening a gap
upon Lecomte, looks a? if he had it all his own
way, which waa the fact. At the stand, tho third
mile, it was very plain tiat Lecomte oould not
run with him, ana then tho interest of tho race
aaenied at an ond, for Lexington opened so great
a gap npon his competitor that all effort to close it
seemed useless, and from tho half-mile post to tho
no running was necessary. Coming down
® str T oU ' h i Lecomte closed a portion of the gap
Lexington, who, j ist before he reached tho
appear od frightened by the shouts that
stud when he oarne to the stand, he
live wit,h bia rider, Leoomte four or
nve lengths in his rear.-
When the time for starting for the Beoond
heat arrived, previous to which Gen. Wells had
asked permission to withdraw his horse from the
contest, the President announced that, inasmuch
as running Lecomte a second heat would grert
tly conflict with his chances of suocess for the
juture upon the turf, Iho judges had decided that
thonaaiKls who earned Witness *tho
race, the race was awarded to LexlngtA, midst
o n th usiastio choers.
That the heat was an easy one fer Lexington, no
one whosawitoan for a moment ontortain a doubt;
but what the time of the heat would have been if
Lecomte had fulfilled the bright hopes and heart
felt wishos of these who knew him beßt, must ever
remain amongst tbe uncertainties of futureevents.
The race decides the question of championship,
in regard to these two rivals, who aro without
doubt tho best horses that ever met. We may be
oxctißed for the following epigram, under the cir
cumstances, which the uama of Lexington forcibly
impresses :
In April fouricore years ago,
Did a ppangled banner wave,
An’ Lexington reveal-d a foe,
Where f ee !om strict the boldest blow,
The first that freedom gave.
That victory to memory dear,

The Turkish Slave Trade. —The firmans direct
ed against tho slave trade, which were made pub
lic last October, have had a beneficial effect in
alrnoßt suppressing tho traffic in negroes from the
Interior of Africa. Tho sympathies of Europoans
arc chiefly roused by the supposed suffering of the
Circassian girls, who are torn away from thoir
parents to be sold into the haiom of eomo Ottoman
Pacha. But these miseries havo no real existence;
it is looked upon by tho fair Circassians us a groat
piece of fortune to bo seleotod at an early age for
tho Stambonl market, to bo kept in luxury up to
the age of 14, and then olevated to the rank of
consort of a rich Turk. The lot of the Circassians
is not slavery in tho European sense of tho term ;
and the traffic is chiefly to be reprobated for tho
social evils which it brings on tho Turks them
selves. Bat the lot of tho unhappy negro is dif
ferent; not that he is treated with cruelty when
he arrives in a Turkish household—tho Turk,
though a capricious, is not an unkind master, and
tho lot of tho black Blavo is, as iar as material
comfort goes, not to be deplored; bnt tho trade
by which thoy aro brought from their native land
is attoeded by every kind of horror. Tho slaves
are generally prisoners taken in marauding expe
dite :s by tho native chieftain, and sold to the
Arab merchants. Dongola and the neighboring
countries supply tho great body of those uufortun
nates, who aro carried often 2,000 miles to Tripoli
and tho other African ports of tho Mediterranean.
The horrors of tho Atlantic middle passage aro
not to bo compared to those of tho voyages across
the desert. Sometimes tho whole caravan perishes
on account of a singlo well having been dried up
by the scorching heat. The dealer and his friends
alone escape, as they generally carry enough water
for their own use in any omorgency. The roads
from tho interior to the Mediterranean are white
with bones, tho result of many centnries of this
truffle. Tho Sultan’s firman has prevented the
shipment of slaves from the African ports, exoant
by stealth, and though the authority of the Porto
is still evaded, and unless a watchful eye bo kept
ou tho matter tho trade may soon bo renewed
openly, yot, no doubt, much has been gained and
tho cause ol humanity advanced by the deoree
which has beon promulgated.
A Fbauful Thoeqiit. —There are on earth 1,000,-
000,000 of inhabitants. Os these 83,883,888 die

ond.
Tho above ovtimateß present a fearful thought,
in the light of the doctrines commonly denomina
ted orthodox. Aocording to a strict application of
those doetrins, not more than one tenth of the hu
mon race can evor enter upon the joys of heaven,
while all the remainder must go down to eternal
wretchedness. Therefore about 80,000,000 human
souls sink into hell every year; 82,642 every day;
8;402 every hour; and iifly-four every minute.—
Think, O Christian reader, think that at nearly
every tick of the clock, a human soul, oroated ill
the imago of the Eternal, and offspring of God,
capable of attaining to the highest pinaclo of at

Ancient Art. —Cardinal Wiseman describes the
specimens of artistio workmanship which have
been discovered in Pompeii, as indicating un
equal >.d advancement in tho department of soienoe,
mechanics, and tho fine arts. There are soales
and steelyards which can only have been meant to
weigh provisions, buttfce chains and bars of which
arc delicately wrought. The weight even is found
made to represent a warrior, with s helmet most
beautifully chiseled. The lamps also, the can
delabra, and the surgical instruments even, are
elegantly artistic; and the most ordinary domestlo
vessels and implements are fiuiahcd beyond what
the finest bronzes now in Paris nsnally equal.
The Box and Man.—A Jew years ago there was
iu the city of Boston a portrait painter whose name
was Copley. Ho did not succeed very woll in his
bus ness, and concluded to go to England to try
his fortune there. Ha had a little eon, whom he
took with him, whose name was John Singleton
Copley.
John was a very 6tadions boy, snd msde snch
rapid progress in his studies that his father Boot
him to college. There he applied himself so clcse
ly to his books, and became so distinguished a
scholar, that his instructors predicted that he
would make a very eminent mon.
After he graduated ho studied law; and when
ho entered upon the practice of his profession his
mind was richly stored with information, and so
highly disciplined by his previous diiiigence that
he almost immediately obtained celebrity. One or
two coses of very great importance being entrusted
him, he managed them with so much wisdom and
skill cs to attract the administration ol the whole
British nation.
The King and his Cabinet, seeing what s learn
ed man he was, and the influence he had acquired
felt it important to secure his services for the gov
ernment. They therefore raised him from one
post of honor to another, till he was created Lord
High Chancellor of England, the very highest
post of honor to which a subject can attain So that
John Sing eton Copley iB now Lord Lyodhurst,
Ltrd High Chancellor of England. About sixty
years ago he was a little boy in Boston ; his father
a poor portrait painter, hardly able to get his daily
bread. Now John is at the Lead of the nobility
in England, one of the most distinguished men
in talent and power in the House of Lords and
regarded with reverence and respect by the whole
civilized world. This is the reward of industry.
Tho studious boy becomes the useful and repect
man.
Had John S. Copley spent his school days in
idleness, he would probably have passed bis man
hood in poverty and shame. But he studied in
school when other ooys were idle; he studied in
college, when other young men were wasting their
time. He evor adopted for his motto, “ C'lta
pergere," (Preu onward,) snd how rich has been
his reward 1
You my young friends, are now laying the
foundation for your future life. You are every
day at school deciding the question whether yon
will be useful or respected in life, or whether your
manhood shell be passed in mourning over the
follies of miapint boyhood.
Subsical Opebation.— We are informed by our
correspondent, “G,” of Orange, that Dr. George
8. Newman, of that county, has recently perform
ed the operation of Lithotripsy upon Mr. G. H.
Wright, who resides near Goiansvilie, Caroline,
with the most perfect success. The stone was re
moved with very little pain to the patient, who did
not he by half a day on aoconnt or the operation.
In the case of Mr. Waller, of this city, in which
Dr. N. wa3 also employed, the result was the same.
These proofs of the ease and safety of this kind of
operation for stone, should go far to prove that it
should be nsed in all cases in preference to the
knife, which ia so painful, and often dangerous.

Intebisting Items from.Niw Mexico.— We have
received the Santa Fo Gazette to the 24’.h of Feb
ruary.
We are able to lay before our readers, says tho
Gazette, this week, an account of the expedition of
Captain Ewell into tho Mescalorocountry, iu ord r
to chaetiso those Indians for recent depredations
committed along the lino of the Rio Peoos.
Capt. E.veil, and Lieuts. Moore and H. B. Da
vidson, left Los Lumas in command of 80 dra
goons, the latter end cl December, for a soont into
the Southeastern section of tho Territory, where
thoso Indians have thoir rauge. Tho troops woro
accompanied by Dr. KennoD, a citizen, as surgeon,
and were joined at Antonchico, by Mr. Glouson,
as guide. They struok the Pesos, down which
stream thoy marched noarly three hundred miles,
aud the 17th of January thoy encamped on the
Penasco, a flue stream running oast from the
Sacramento mount. Hore they woro joined by
eighty dragoons and infantry under command of
Capt. Stanton and Liouta.Daniel and Walker from
Fort F'lHaiore. Thus far no Indians had been soon,
bat in tbe night they sot tiro to tho grasa around
the camp, and opened a brisk tire of bulls and ar
rows, apparently aiming at the only two tents there
were in tho command.
The next morning the Indiana appeared in con
siderable numbers on the surrounding hill, and
commoncod an attack. The column moved on,
fighting as they went, and hastonod to roach tho
Indian camp in time to find their familios “ at
home.” The ground waa rolling and much entup
with deep ravines, whioh euablod the Indians to
approach within a few yards of the column and
Are upon them; and tho trail was narrow and dif
ficult lo follow. The front aud flanks woro kept
oloared by skirmishers, and officers and mon ÜBcd
every exertion to get at the enemy; it being re
qnirod to check the men and keep them from un
necessary oxposuro. Mr. Gleason was always con
spicuous, and among tho foromoßt in the light.—
These skirmishes woro at different times under
Lieuts. Daniel, Walker and Moore, the latter
charging at tho head of come mounted men, but
tho horees wore too rnuoh worn out to accomplish
a great deal. Sometimes tbe Indians oamo within
arrow range ol the column, and at one time a large
follow Btopped alone 011 the trail until the trooj s
approached within rango, whon he deliberately
fired, but was instantly picked off by a skirmisher,
a sergeant. About tho time this man fell, the In
dians on a hill near by, raisod a torriblo wailing,
and it iB supposod he was a chief. A Mexican
from Mr. Bock’s rauche, named Jose Martinez,
claims to havo killed Santa Anna, the Big Chief,
and recent reports from Mescaloroß confirm his
death. Tbo fight was continued nntil 1 I'. M.,
when Iho Indians retreated, having suffered con
siderable loss.
This afternoon tho column found the Indian 1
camp, of three hundred lodges, and the banks of 1
tho I’enasoo, whore thoy hod coliootod in largo
numbers to havo a grand feast on Btolen cattle.— 1
A few oxen and some ponies woro found—tho reet
had been eaten. Daring tho fight Capt. Blanton, 1
of the first dragoons, and two men woro killed.—
He charged a body ot Indians, and led sway by
the ardor of pursuit, became separated from his
men, and ou his return was attacked by largo
numbers from behind trees and rocks, and unfor
tunately killod. Ho fought with desporatiqa, as
two ponies were loft doad, ami ono ran into camp
without 0 rider. The Indian# were purenod
ono day boyoud the source# of the Pouasoo, among
tho Sacramento mountains, when they scattered
and fled in different directions, and tho guides
oould no longer trail them. TUo troop? started
back on the 20th of January, and Capt. Ewol
reached Los Lunas in oighteon doye, the horsoe
being so completely broken down that the mon
had to march on foot. 'lho loss of the Indians
was from fifteen to twenty. The oonntry in which
tho fight took place was entirely new, novor hav
ing boon visited by troops before, and is represen
ted as a pleasant and well watered region.
From ihe New Orle ns Picayune 15 th inst.
Later from Texas.
Tho steamship Charles Morgan, Capt. Jas. Law
less, arrived this morning lrom Indianola and
Galveston.
By this arrival we havo Galveston papers to tho
12th inst.—live days later luan we received by tho
stoamsbip Moxioo.
Tho now*, 0/ the 12th, furnishes the following
intelligence;
We learn from the San Antonio Texan, that tho
Indians have been ootnmilting depredations in tho
Medina and Hondo Valleys. A company of xninuto
mou waa organized, and recently ou a scout altor
Indians, they came npon four Waeos, on whom
they fired, killing one and wounding two others.
These Indians had one sto;-:i horse with them,
and were prepared with bridles and ropes for
stealing others.
Tho same paper rays a party of Indians lately
stole 28 horses from Mr. Davenport, of Sabinal, iu
Bexar county, and ot tho srnno lime shot an arrow
through a Mexican in Mr. D.’s omploy, who was
driving tho horses up for the purpose of penning
them. Thore i* but little hope or tho Mexican’*
recovery.
The Texan he* still later information to the ef
fect that Mr. Davonpon’s neighoora had left, and
moved farther down the country. He would pro
bably bo aompsiled to leave, also.
A gentleman named Frank Loo, of Kentucky, is
making public addresses in the Western portion
of the Slate in favor of a prohibitory liquor law.—
The Waco says his speeches are the best it has
beard on this important question.
Wo lea/n from the Texan, that Mr. George Gid
dings, who is now the contractor, left San Antonio
on the Ist inst. for Santa Fo, with the largest mail
that has ever passed between the two points, and
five passengers. It is understood that the com
pensation ia $38,500 per annum, and the mail is to
be carried twice a mouth.
Two nights previous, tho Indiana took two hor
ses from Mr. Ware, who livoe in the eamo neigh
borhood, an i eight days before they ( rove off
eleven bead from the Canon; and another neigh
bor by the name of Riley has just lost forty head.
By another 1 tter, dated one day later, soya the
Texan, wo are informed that all the horses in the
neighborhood have been stolen, and they are sat
isfied that it was tbe Tonkaways. Mr. Davenport,
and a man by the name of Brown, started on the
trail, which took them nearly in sight of the Ton
kaways, whon they found that tho Indians had
fired the grass, and they were obliged to return
home to protect thoir wives and children. Wo
have had Sine pleasant weather for several days
but the drought continues, aud the supply of wa
ter in our oistens is getting short.
In some portions of tbe interior they have had
some rain, bat in other sections great complaint
is made for want ol it.

Tba following in reference to a practical but
good humored joker, for morally well known in
this vicinity, is too good to pass by:
An Arkansas Invention, Ob, how the Geneb-
AL WAS ISOLD IN SELLING* THE SCIENTIFIC AMLBI*
can. —About the commencement of the present
decade, we had the honor of being one of an illus
trious trio who origin) ted and controlled a Demo
cratic papor, named the Arkansas Traveler, pub
lished at tho tlourishingtown of Camden, Ouachi
ta county, Arkansas. Wo numbered among our
exchanges the {Scientific American, valuablo then,
as now. Amoug our patrons in Camnon was one
General Tom Woodward, a shrewd old gont, full
of anecdotes, an inveterate practical joker, a good
judgo of “rye,” and to cap tho climax of his con
vivial accomplishments, he was great on tho “Ar
kaneaw Traveler,” (a celebrated dancing tnno with,
a legend.) Oue sultry day in tho Bummer of ISSB.
tho General walked into our printing office, picked
up tho Scientific American and commenced read
ing tho Editor’s “Notico to Inventors,” in which
he offerod his services in the obtaining of patents
for useful inventions, <fec.
After reading it through, tho General requoatod
pens and paper. Tho stationery was placed be
fore him, and in a lew moments he had written
his letter, sealed and subßcribod it to Munu A Co.
N. Y., and our dovil was despatched to tho post
office with it. We “smelt a mice,” but said noth
ing. The next time tho Scientific Amotican oamo
wo oagerlf opened it, and thore, sure enough,
amoDg tho “notices to correspondents,” was tho
following:*
«‘l'. W., of Camden, Ark.—-Musical inventions,
if of real benefit and not too cosily, generally prove
lucrative to tho inventor. We cannot inform yon
os to the pruoticabriiiy of obtaining a patent, until
you send uv a model or an accurate description of
tho instrument.”
This paragraph wo rood to the General the next
time we saw him; for our politeness in tho mat
ter he permitted uo to read his description of
follows:
“Doar Sir: By your request, I will, as briefly
and dearly os I can, endoavor to describe my new '
musical invention. It has very much th 6 appear
ance, at first sight, of a case for a huge double ac
tion harp; from six to eight inchos square at tho
smaller end, thence gradually expanding to four
foet square ; ouo a.do por/orutod with augur holes.
The inner oorapartmeuts of the instrument are oc
cupied by the four week’s roaster at
tho little eud, ranging gradually up to the oight
year old male gruuter—tho tails of all protruding
through the before-mentioned augur holes. Tho
performer stands upon the outside of tho instru
ment with a couple of blacksmith’s pinchers in
his hands; he has thus full oommand ot the ma
chine. and a practical hand can run tho chromatic
scalo in a most brilliant manner. You will atonco
perceive that my invention is a valuable one,
combining iinmeußO volume of tone with a'raosß
unlimited power of expression, and vast compass
—lroin tho shrill soprano of tho infantile porker
down to the deep ‘pedlar baeo,’ as Mrs. Turling
ton expresses it, of his more ngod ancestor, over
so many octaves. By prolonging tho pinch, tho
notes can bo prolonged indefinitely, thuß doing
away with tho Julian Dolco Oanipana and other
attachments, (including the Bhorilf s.)
“I have not decided yet whether to call my in
vention tho ‘Swinett’ or tin ‘Tigianna.* Your
advice upon the subject together with your as
sistance in obtaining a patent ‘according to Hoyle,’
will be gratofullry taken by
Yours, Taos. Woodward.
Munn A Co., Eds. Scientific American.
Tho next weok’s American contained the follow-
W 3., Camden, Ark:—Your description of a
now musical instrument has come to hand. Wo
think it patentable, aud on receipt of tho usual
lee will endeavor to obtain tho desired patent.
“We havo no doubt but that you cm mako tho
invention ‘pay,’ as it fills a desideratum* which
must have been long felt in the refined locality of
Arkansas. If tho aged swine, which form tho
bass of your ‘Pigianna,” should neci ientally not bo
procurable, wo would recootnmend tho inventor
to fill his place; indood, wo krow no ouo so ad
mirably adapted by nature end education to tho
position, tor in the whole course jof our editorial
experience we wore never bothered witn tho lucu
brations of a moro unmitigated bore.”
That last shot prostrated tho General; ho treat
ed all hands to watormolons to keep the joke to
ourselves.
Pennsylvania Liquor Law.— -Tho Governor of
Peuusvlvania hrs signed tho bill to “JEteatraiu tho

Phobfxobus.—The origin of phosphorus is tho
mo*t remarkable thing oonoorning it. Every other
substance with widen we are acquainted can be
traced either to the earth or air; but phosphorus,
seems to b.-- of animal origin. Os all tho animals
man contains the most; and of thi various parta
of tho body, the brain yields, bv analysis, more
phosphorus than any other. This fact is of no
little moment. Every thought has, perhaps, a
phosphoric source. It is certain that tb«s mo-t in
tellectual beings contain tho moat phost horns.
It generally happens that when <* singu'ar dis
covery is mude, many years eianse before any ap
plication of it is made to the welfare and happiness
of man. This remark applies to phosphorus. It
is only tho other day that it was sold at five shil
lings an ounce; now it is so cheap that the penp*.
lass portion of our population hawk it about i/ tJ the
form of matches. But what a noble, life, 1 ght and
fire giving office does it fill! For commercial pur
pose—match making—phosphorus is extracted
from burnt bones. Tho demand for it is now so
«reat that many tors aro annually prepared.
When Kraft 'raveled, ho ..ad not more than hall
an ounce “ to sot before tho feir.g.’*
We take the following paragraph from the Au
gusta Constitutionalist so s { ho 15th inst.
“There is one great and vita! question ahead,

views aro about Catholics and Foreigners f Wo
would beglad to know whether their “ sgmpath.it*”
are with the administration or its opponents.
What do they think of the Ostend platform !”
What does tho Administration think of tho
Oeter d Platform f What does Mr. Marcy thinkof
that Platform? Would it not be hotter for our con
temporary, before Inquiring into the position of
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens, (for whose poli ioal
fate or faith wo imagine ho has litt.o concern,) to
fix the position of Mr. Maroy upon this question t
The Constitutionalist sustains Mr. Marcy, and it
should therefore bo more careful of his orthodoxy
than of Messrs. Toombs and Stephens’, whom it
delights to oppose. Besides, Mr. Marcy is tho
Secretary of the Department of State, controls our
