Loss of the Schooners Bohemian and Pratt. J’ nun the Milwaukee Sentinel, Oct. *27. The propeller Toledo, Capt. Densham, of the American Transportation Company's Lino, bound to this port, with a large cargo of mer chandise for this city and for merchants in the country, in the gale of Friday last was lost in front of Port Washington, and the captain and all on board drowned but three. We got the following particulars from Mr. Pomeroy of Detroit, who was at Port Washington at the time. On Friday, at about noon, tho propeller was within about 100 rods of one of the piers, and was dragging her anchors and goiug north ward. At about 4p. in. an attempt soemed to be made to get up the anchors, and to get into a safer berth further north. The anch ors were down again soon after she got beyond the north pier. The propeller had her flag at half mast, but tho waves wero rolling at such a fearful height that no boat could livo a mo ment in them, and no hulp could be rendered. The wind rose to its height at dark. Fires were built all along the shore, amt by their light the hull of tho propeller could be seen rolling, and laboring heavy some 100 rods out. At nbout 74 p. m. boxes mid barrels of goods began to conic ashore and iu about half an hour tho yawl boat was dashed on the beach, and was found to oontaiu a man clinging to one of the scats. As soon as ho was able to speak he said that he was one of the deck hands, and had got into the boat with about ‘2O others, but tho boat was upset almost immediately, nnd ho alone managed to cling to it as it was hurled over nnd over toward tho shore. In a short time another man got ashore, nnd a third was lifted up by a wave and thrown upon the pier alive. These three are believed to be the only persons saved. They say that there wore 40 or o 0 persons in all on board. They were deck hands and did not know tho names of pas sengers, nnd but few of tho crow. They re member one family of passengers, a man with his wife nnd six children. They state that the Captain’s objoct was to get up his anchors and beach her as a last re sort, but the anchor chains got foul and they could not raise them or out the chains before the scums opened aud tho water came iu so rapidly above and below that the propeller settled to the bottom. Scarcely a vestige was left of the vessel in the rooming, uud such of the goods as eaino ashore were dashed to pieces by the waves. flic Toledo was ono of tho largest class of propellers, and, with her cargo, was probably worth $(>5,000 to $70,000. The vessel was not insured. The waves have swallowed up an immense stock of goods of every kind, scarcely anything of which will be savod. .The schooner l’ratt, from Buffalo, loaded with coal, stoves and iron, for this port, is also ashore near Port Washington. fho propellers, Illinois and Potomac, of the American Transportation Company, were out i in the gale, and have not been heard from. The propeller Nile was also exposed to the full fury of the storm on this lake, but weath ered it bandeonioly, and catne into this port, all right Saturday. •— —- • . from tho Chartestori Courier. * Tire Mexican Indians. Mexico, Oct. 18, 1830. Messrs. Editors: There is, perhaps, no more striking feature, to a visitor, in tho system of social organization in Mexico, than the strange amalgamation of two races, so contrasted in all their habitudes aud char acteristics. Though theoretically, on political equality, and designated all as citizens of the Republic, it needs no great discernment to mark the division and allot to each its appro priate sphere in the social scale. Whatever may bo his civil acquisitions, the Indian, in the mass, is still the degraded, thriftless class, but little removed in habits aud customs from tbo wilddndian of centuries past. Inheriting and retaining most of their primitive associa tions, they uro, doubtless, rather deteriorated, than improved by contact with civilization, in the realization of some of its worst vices, with few of its appropriate virtues. At oneo indo lent and reckless, with a total inuppreoiation of labor, us a moans of social progress, and, alike, unconscious of any idea of expediting or or facilitating it, with a view to its effective ness, they still pursue, from generation to gen eration, tho same unvaried course of uusappli aucesand improvidences. Every tiling is ef fected by dint of physical effort and struggle. The scenes which are daily presented each morning on various avenues to the cupilol, de cidedly symbolize those of the rude and untu tored savage. Caravans of donkeys, with their drovers, and hosts of Indian attendants are seen daily Wending their way to the city, all bending under the weight of every variety of merchandize. Tho bucks, alike of donkeys and of Indians, are the chief medium of trans portation, and it is almost inerediblo to note tho immense loads which these last do sustain. Burdens which many of our most robust la borers would scarce venture to lilt alone, are, by moans of broad straps, drawn across the foreheads, conveyed for miles, and at a pace, too, no less remarkable, frequently keeping up with a carriage and pair, at a respectable trot, hi this way arc transported to market large coops of poultry, barrels of lard and large bas kets of vegetables. The donkeys, besides as sisting to carry these, are laden with every variety 8f most burdensome articles, as bricks, rocks, lumber, and indeed all thqse materials which are usually transported with us, by draft. Tho fixtures upon the hacks of these animals arc ingeniously contrived so as to re tain and secure almost every kind of material. Thus arranged, they travel for miles over the whole country, much after the mariner of the Eastern Caravans. The doukeys are neither bridled or haltered, but arc so well trained as, of their own accord, or at the least sign from their drivers, to diverge readily to each side of the road, leaving the way clear to any passing vehicle, ’l’is remarkable, too, how quickly and free from any accidents, this movement is effected, even where they are loaded with lengthy pieces cf timber, one end of which is trailing on the ground, while the other is swinging about their ears. A most passive and self-enduring species, they seem most ad mirably adapted to their masters, requiring no care, and sustained on the veriest minimum of provender, frequently for whole days, having no other provision than the loose herbage, which they gratefully crop along tho road side under the pressure of their burdens. The Indians themselves seem no loss patient and enduringtban their companions and friends —the donkeys passively and loungingly trail ing along tlio road, regardless alike of time and speed. Living in a genial clime, where the requisitions of nature arc supplied by little toil, they indulge to the full that sloth and sensual gratification so characteristic of the tropical tribes. Simple, and even child-like amusements, wouldsoem to occupy their homes to the neglect of graver employments; and this disposition appears peculiarly favored in the construction of the Roman ritual, as to its oft repeated festas and showy ceremonials.— The zeal with which they enter upon these is truly characteristic; for days previously de corating tho locality, aud the paths to it, with most beautiful bouquets, garlands and festoons of richly variegated flowers—reveling in the gayest sports and dances, and always conclud ing them with the most surpassingly brilliant and curiously wrought lire works. Addicted thus to idleness and sport, there is little room for improvement, cither iu tho comforts or the conveniences of life. Indeed, so indifferent are they to those, they havo few strong induce ments to toil, ami they aro lienee little to be relied on in their engagements, particularly as domestics, in which capacity they arc the never-ending subjects of complaint with house keepers. Here, they are not unfrequently the occasion of considerable embarrassment and inconvenience to their employers, hesitat ing not to withdraw without any notification. And a hard task does it prove; nay, for the most part is it impracticable to withhold them, by either persuasion or authority, from tho innumerable fiestas which are ever aud anon springing up under the nuspics of some favor ed Saint. Thus, iu their very religion, tboro would seem but the blending of Aztecs Idola try with modern Romanism; nnd, in their ceremonial observances, with tho exception, perhaps, of human sacrifices, there can be dis cerned no vast coutrarity iu their festal re joicings ot‘ the present time and those of the Montezumns. Whether, indeed, as a caste, they are susceptible of auy high degree of ed ucation aud civilization is indeed problemati cal. Yet, perhaps, had but a modicum of the efforts been made to morally train and culti vate them, that lias been exerted to accommo date them to tho Romish ritual, they might have boon, at this day, a more useful and in dustrious class. But between superstitious ignorance on tho one sido nnd wild radicalism on the other, they havo continued both degra ded and thriftless, with very little progress of amelioration. Ono of the most horrible social excroseuocs here visible, in association with this caste, and, most likely, growing out of their imper fect civilization, while yet iu contact with it, is tho class of Leporos. These, numbering some twenty thousand, infest tho Capitol through out, at once a public nuisance aud a private annoyance. With, apparently, the most ab joct humility, iu rags and tatters, they beset the passer by everywhere, in the streets, the plaza, at churches, and at the doors and win dow of your residences, often intruding thciu solves upon you without note or warning, seemingly bent on attaining something by pil feriug or by begging. Silently stealing upon you, the first intimation of their vicinity is a low murmuring sound, as they mutter out some Such, then, aro the people (the Indian race) who are vauntinglv held up as tho free citi zens of this Republic, appealed to, on all pub lic occasions, as disinterested patriots, ready and zealous to servo their country, against for eign and domestic foes.. Whether willing or no, it is certain they constitute the only force of the army through its file. And it was no less curious, and suggestive to a stranger, to witness, in the late patriotic celebrations of | the Republic, this distinctive caste alone con- I stituting the file, ranked by officers of unoth- ‘ er, race, and escorting the processions of this same race, all participating in tho glorious re- 1 suits. Tho Indians indeed would seem to share the lighting if not the glory. Ii is from them that the armies of tho Republic are re plenished, ami though necessary, at times, it is painful to witness the summary mode with which the conscriptive power is enforced, riv alling the worst period of Napoleon’s reigu. Only a few days since, our attention was forci bly attracted by unusual cries and disturb ances on the wayside, which turned out to the wailings and moanings of a host of women and children, following their dejected friends and relatives, who, to the number of thirty, had been seized in their habitations the night pre vious* and were now being transported, under a guard, us new recruits, to their quarters. Thair down-cast countenances seemed to have lost all that patriotic glow, and inspiring ar dour, wUich so beamed over them at the Into grand barbecue feast, participated in by Com onfort on tbe Pasco, and this timely realiza tion of tbe patriotic sentiments, there engen doted, would seem to ha ve, in a measure, p ul led their warmth and brilliancy. The existence of these people is indeed a matter of grave speculation, in relation to the well-being of Mexico. It may justly he ques tioned whether their permanence has not been a draw-back upon the progress of the country; or whether their removal at the earliest epochs might not have eventuated in more fortunate results. Occupying, as it does, the position of that most important class in every community, (the laboring,) it cannot fail in its impractica bility or inefficiency thereto, to become worse than nugatory—nay, a very canker upon the tho body-politic. Probably, under a system of domestic servitude, they might have been rendered much more efficient elements of so ciety, while their condition, either morally, or socially, could hardly have deteriorated more. Certainly, under this systcip, they could not have been more trampled upon and abused than they were under the various well inten tioned plans designed for their amelioration by Las Casas and others. Under the system of Kepartiarnentos they were but instruments in the hands of rapacious taskmasters who imposed upon them the most exhausting and enduring labors with a view only to their own personal gains. Under that of Eucomiendas, they’ were no less the prey of extortionate commissioners, who under tiie simulation of guardians and fosterers, exacted from them the most exorbitant tributes. Indeed, the Pe onage system, on the largo Haciendas, which partakes measurably with ours, presents these people under decidedly the most favorable as pects. The Peons, assembled on these places, remote from the cities, arc sober, docile, and industrious, willing to serve their employers, and as little worried about any civil rights as our own doinesticts. They become, as it were, tenants of the soil, and the attachments to the locality, engendered by the lengthy periods of habitatson, almost for generations, become so intense as to awaken the most poignant grief at any prospect of separation. Thus heredi tary custom, and circumstances have, in fact, built up a system of domestic servitude with out the advantage of there salutary laws, re cognizing the institution, and establishing the claim to protection and guardianship, on the the part of the laborer, fr< in those whose duty, as well as interest, itisto fiffored it. Under care ful and judicious administrators they become a useful and thrifty class, contributing to tbe interest of their employers, at tho same time enhancing their own, in the varied blessings and comforts of their own neatly appointed llanchprias. It becomes, in reality, a system of permanent bondage, inasmuch as their sti pend being, for the mortgaged part, anticipa ted, their time and labor becomes mortgaged for a life. Not less happy on that account in their comfortable hemes, with their families around them, their condition is far surpassing that of their less fortunate compatriots, who, in vicinity of the Capitol, left to their own re sources, are tempted expend their scanty earn ings at the Pulque shop—soon perhaps to sink down into that miserable and criminal class of Leperos, or enter upon the no less miserable and criminal avocation of a Ladrone. Before concluding this notice of the Mexi can Indians, I would passingly allude to some of the singular natural gifts with which they are endowed. Their imitative powers, and skill in fashioning materials are almost incon ceivable. In this respect they have inherited many qualities of the old Aztecs, who, to a remarkable degree, sculptured out of wood and stone the most curious aud ingenious figures, aud that too with a dearth of imple ments equally surprising. I witnessed a most striking instance of this on a recent visit to the Minerea, where was to be seen a perfect profile of. an idol cut out of Obsidian, one of the hardest and most unimpressible of volcanic products. No modern process of operating upon it has, 1 understand, been yet discovered, and here it has been worked into various em blems nnd minute articles of adornment for priest and soldiers by theso ancient barbarians —and oven the tool itself, by which it was worked, formed by them out of the same ma terial. The modern Indians, with equal art, seem to fasliian everything out of wax, wood and cloth. Tho wax figures are truly remark able, being modeled with the minutes exacti tude in every variety of order from Tulsa’s magnificent equestrian statue on the l’aseo, to the lowest and most betattcred Lepero. The best illustration of their habits nnd customs is furnished by themselves in these figures, a real hieroglyphic history. Every trade, employ ment and profession is most graphically por trayed, so ns at bneo to have presented before you a living spectacle, !n the higher arts too, I havo seen some striking di.-plays on this imi tative faculty—in painting and in architecture. It was a gem in itself, a miniature Grecian temple, all complete, its dome, its Corinthian columns and capitals, beautiful architraves nnd rich profusion of ornaments, tho whole carved out of a piece of soft wood, and with a penknife. Strange contrasts these to their numerous deticicnoes and marked defective ness in the scale of exalted nature. Exalted instincts indeed, seemingly independent of all culture, or perhaps in spite of its very ab sence. A SOJORUNER. > An Apple of Gold In a Frame of Silver. It was iu the courso of his second great spoeeh on Foot’s resolution, iu the Senate of the United States, that Daniel Wobster said; “ When 1 shall be found, sir, iu my place here in the Senate, or elsewhere, to sneer at public merit because it happens to spring up beyond the limits of my own State or neighborhood; when I refuse for any such cause, or any othor cause, homage due to American talent, to elevated patriotism, to sincere devotion to liberty and the country : or if I see ail uncommou endowment of Ileav eu, if 1 see an extraordinary capacity of. vir tue, in any sou of the South, and if moved by local adice or gangrened by State jealousy, I ge; up here to abate to the tithe of a hair from ins just character and just fame, may my ; i gue cleave to the roof of uiy mouth,” Hoops—A Hew Invention. The Paris correspondent of the New York Times thus describes anew invention which we take pleasure in republishing for the infor mation of our fair readers. Let us speedily have* the steel rings, as they will doubtless prove more durable than the whalebone hoops, and also give a more perfect rotundity to the weaver: From the common starched crinoline they passed to the crinoline with rings of whalebone, then to the l ings of whalebone without crino line, and within a month all our belles have adopted the steel rings—the last new invention. Imagine to yourself a lady in her most intimate garment alone, standing upright within the hoops of a hogshead from which the staves have been removed and tbe hoops fixed in po sition, and you will have a tolerable clear idea of the new invention. The steelrings ate small, almost like the mainspring of a watch, and are wrapped with strong cloth. They commence small in diameter at the waist, and go on en larging in regular proportion to the feet. In front they contain a spring, by which they can be enlarged or diminished —to small extent—at will. But they arc usually worn so enormous ly large that as the wearer walks they do not touch the person at all. They are thus healthy, and as a hygienic invention arc worthy of all praise. As the wearer sits down they fold up with ease—that is, from bottom to top, not in diameter. But they present this inconvenience, that when they are pressed on either side at the bottom, the opposite side is elevated into the air to an inconvenient distance for those who do not wish to show the color of their gar ters. This the iadies declare to be the only inconvenience of the new sous jupe. But in Baris this inconvenience is not a great one. Enterprise. An iron steamboat has just becu finished by the Novelty Iron Works, to run on the river Maule, in Chili, between the city of Constitu tion, on the Bacitic, and the city of Taka, in the interior. Several Americans are interest ed in tho enterprise, and will probably send out other boats of the same description. This boat is 123 feet in length by 35 in width, aud will draw eighteen inches of water. An in teresting fact connected with her is, that she is the last vessel modeled by the late George Steers. She lias two oscillating engines, with a power of 170 horses; is guaranteed to run at the rate of ten miles an hour. After being taken in pieces, she will be shipped on the clipper George Benson, for Valparaiso. Talca is tho terminus of anew rail road, just put in operation by the American engin eers. A party of Englishmen had previously undertaken the work, and sent out five steam ers; but the latter were unable to ascend the stream ; and tbe construction of the rail road was attended with such large expense as to threaten the whole entei'prise with extinction. The work now proceeds under more favorable auspices. The freight carried on the river Maule is principally wood and an excellent kind of wine, said to resemble choice claret, and which is produced in large quantities. The Novelty Irons Works are building a powerful side-lever engine for the Charleston steamer Columbia, building at Green Point, and to be launched in about ten clays.— N. Y. Jour. Com. 3 Oth ult , Church Property in Mexico. A Now York paper gives us some interest ing information concerning the value of the church property of Mexico. It says that the archbishop has nine bishops under him, all having cathedrals and chapters, except the Prelate of Sonora—with 183 prebendaries aud canonrics; 1200 parishes and a regular and secular clergy amounting to 10,000 persons, under his dominion. Os the regular clergy, 2500 reside in the capital, and the orders of the Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites and Mercedarians possess 150 convents. The sala ry of the archbishop is $130,000 per annum, that of the Bishop of Puebla was SIIO,OOO. — The remaining bishops receive altogether about $200,000 more. Tho Signor Lendo de Tega da, who is now at the head of the finances, asserts that the repeal property of the clergy is of the value of from two hundred and fifty to three hundred millions of dollars. In the city of Mexico, containing five thou sand houses, worth eighty millions of dollars, the church owns one half, and the income has been estimated by the minister at twenty mil lions of dollars. Waddy Thompson, our for mer minister at Mexico, was of the opinion that one quarter of the whole country belonged to the church. The quantity of gold, silver and jewels in tho churches is great enough to pay the whole foreign and domestic debt. A single balustrade, about three hundred feet long, in the cathedral of the capital, is sup posed to bo worth a million of dollars.— Mobile Tribune An Incident in California. The Rev. Bishop Andrew, in one of his let ters from California, relates the following inci dent : A ride of fifteen miles brought us to the house of Judge Dickinson, on the Tuolume riv er. We were kindly treated. We had here quite an interesting incident. Mrs. A. recog nized in one of the waiters a young man whom she had known in Alabama; but he had changed his name, and when she inquired if he was not B. (.’., he denied it, and the family knew him as E. M. I told her she was probably mista ken, but she persevered, womanlike, and finally succeeded iu coruering him. Finding that ho was recognized, lie made an honest confession. He had come to California, been unfortunate in business, and was reduced to the necessity of begging, stealing, or working. He very properly chose the latter, and was employed as a waiter at the public house, at S4O A month aud Ills board. This was a wise resolve, yet his pride revolted at the idea of its being kpown that he had fallen into such a menial employment j hence, to prevent, his friends from knowing him he had changed his name. His feelings as a son broke forth when he found ono who knew his mother, and could give Idm tidings from home. The interview may be overruled for good. He said on our return the following week, that he intended to save all his wages, and return in a few months to Alabama. His employer spoke highly of him as a very excellent young limn.

FEAunii.Ksi Imitations or Sit'ekior Commodities, Aipong the many dishonesties of trade which the iw.r ai sense of the community is called upon to suppress, \u would particularly notice a most pernicious and infamous practice adopted I>y unsci upulous dialers of imftat ing anil counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary labels of popular drugs, medicamentn, and other milch's of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon da w-ell acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal ming oft’ most destructive and worthless compounds, to the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to tin character of tho man who has expended thousands of dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem and demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as much highway rubbery as the violent appropriation of their neighbor’s purse; iu fact they are beneath the burglar and highwayman in dignity—for these latter felons ex hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they not be rewarded with a punish ment commensurate with the cowardice of their crime? Wc were led to these remarks by accidentally observing a spurious counterfeit of Udolplio Wolfe's Seheidmn Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with the slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man wlm perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber I Assuredly lie is; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring liis genuine imported schnapps into popular demand, that demand may be justly considered a part of liis cap ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his reputa tion is as much of a thief as if he had stolen a barrel of liis schnapps in bulk. And to this crime he odds a fur ther one of defrauding the community by giving them a ruinous article for tho money they intended to expels! for a commodity in which they had confidence. Ami. further, every man who participates indirectly in the fraud, b v selling spurious articles is as much ei’ an often der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tim remedy ol Mr. Woiie should lie iu his holding all concer ned up to the contempt of the community thus swindle! by their operations, aud unconsciously imposed upnnl.v their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe will obtain names, not only of the concoctors of tlm- f counterfeits, but of every man offering them for sale.and then publish them to the world: lor his own reputation and tiie health of the community demand that all putties should be nailed to the pillory of popular execration. From the Now York Dispatch, AN INFAMOUS UUSINESS. W lieu an enterprising man strikes out anew Imaiimw. to the establishment of which lie gives his industry.tilin'- talents and pecuniary means, can auytliinghe more com teinptible than to have another steal in, and. under cioua pretexts, hold out to the public an interior arlom and endeavor to obtain their patronage? Fray, what difference is there, so far as the honesty of the thins i* concerned, botweed purloining the business by which a citizen hopes to make his bread uud stealing the Lrciul itselt ? A common thief, if lie takes without leave, how ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker's shop, is apple* bonded and condemned to the penitentiary for during i“ a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but put a respectable looking coat on Iris back and a low dolin'” in his pocket, and lie may, with impunity, nay. even with the applause of Ids fellows, by knavery, forger}’ “ r other infamous means, take tho business of an holiest man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this is wrong.
