The BaTTI-es nr OhhajX and Has
Prospect* of Waikrr. — Nicaragua, Ki'tiril iry I'J,
1857—Since the date of my last letter the Xicara-
UUAn news in various, interesting, and important.
Tbe loroes with General Walker, at Kiya», have,
u „d„r the immediate command of General Henning
aen, attacked the allies at Obraje and Saw George,
without suoceaa; aud the rescue party at San .Juan
del Norte have made au important movement on
Kort Serapiqui. For intereai and in rdirouological
order tjhe battles immediately under the eye of Gen
era! Walker are first to be named.
Frotn the date of the relief of General Henning
sen atj Granada, until the appearand of General
Walker at San Juan del Sur, on the "id of February,
there Ran tto certain knowledge of hie condition j
his friend* outside tbe lines of Kivas Imme
diately after the release, the allies seem to have
coui tm need operations upon a plan that bad beeu
proposed. A calculation has been made by one of
the COsta Rican officers, aud its correctness ao
kuowledged by the other proiniueut officers in the
allied army ; in effect, that with the San Juan river
aud thie river and lake boats in their own hands,
G<;ii Walker could easily be surrounded and starv
ed out. in accordance with that iinpression (bey
flrsi sepzed the boats and afterwards began to for
tity. p
Knowing that their men are no match for those of
Walker's army, they wisely decided not to offer him
battle, even if the) found him with an insignificant
force at command. They had ascertained the pro
bable plan of re-ioforcemepte, and concluded that
by offering as many obstac os to their progress into
the interior as possible behind fortifications, the
men of Walker’s army would die taster than others
could arrive-from the United Stales to take their
places Their first care was given to fortifying and
inauiii ig the various stragetlc points on the river
San Juan del Noite. That work completed, they j
occupied and fortified Obraje and San George, aud ,
were proceeding well and rapidly w ith heir plan ;
for hemming him in, when Gen. Walker deemed it |
necessary to attack and drive them back
Acdortiingly, on the 24 th of January, Gen. Hen
ningsen was ordered to attack the uhiesat Obraje,
uuoer command of Gen. Cauas, with between three
and four hundred men. Obraje is about nine miles
trout Kivas, and as noon alter the order had been
given as it could be reached, it was attacked, and
notwithstanding they found it better fortified and
occupied by stronger force than had been anticipa
ted, they continued the fight during the entire day.
At-no time had they any prospect of driving the
allies from their position, aud yet they continued
to charge the barricades, and as they were beaten
back, to fire upon the enemy while retreating out of
range.
1 ms course was followed without serious results,
until Gen. Heuningsen, satisfied that he had not
sufficient force to dislodge them, determined to re
mam for a time as near out of range as would afford
his men comparatively safe opportunity of occa
sionally picking off those of the allies who exposed
themselves to their tire. After some twenty hours j
of such fighting, his men began to show unmistaka
ble S'gne of fatigue, aud having had three men kill- .
ed and three wounded—Capt. Ptriniiey mortally-—he
fell bm‘k upon Kivas.
They state the loss of the allies at 80 killed and
100 wounded. I have it on Costa Rican authority, j
that the loss of the allies was 21 killed and 32 wound
ed, and that they had but 700 men iu the town.
After a few hours had been allowed for refresh- j
orient and rest, Gen. Walker issued au orde* to Gen. j
Hennmgserj to attack the enemy and drive th**m
from San George, one league Ironi Rivas. On the
WSth January Gen. Heuningsen marched upon the
town With 300 men—its large a force as could be !
spa'-cd Irom Rivas. When within half a mile of the ,
place the General sent out parties to the rigid and ,
lett to reconnoitre, (.'apt. lligler commanded the !
party on the right, and soon after he was in motion, i
tbe tight commenced with a discharge of grape from
u!T yards, which wounded thirteen of
Walker s men. Immediately following this, the left
tlank was charged by a party of Costa Ricans, as i
they were entering a plantain patch within the
limits ot the town. The Walk* i men received the ;
charging party warmly, ami after nearly two-third* \
had been killed, the remainder retired behind their
fortifications. The Walker force claim to have
killed more than one hundred of the charging party.
Ihe Costa Ricau* were led by Gelt, llusche who
was found dead on the field, with u sword by his
side that was lost by Gen. Walker at the first battle
Os Majsaya. A number of the Costa Ricans fouud
dead had cords upon their leg , tied in such manner
a» to enable them to walk, but to prevent running.
*> hen the remainder of the charging party had re
treated, the Walker men charged the barricades
several times, but finding them adobe aud Iff feet
high, they did not succeed, and finally they fell back
upon Rivas again, after having lost: killed, 27 ;
wounded, 57— many of them officers. They report
the ]<>sa of the allies to have been: killed, 2WI;
wounded, 400—out of .a .fbfS«utlf.

Among those on General Walker’s list as killed
are the names of Capt. Rushcll and Capt. Johnson,
and amongst the mortally wounded Colonel Jacques
and Major Dusenberry.
Jnirtn-cliateiy after the failure at San George, Geu.
W alki -r proceeded to San Juan del Sur, with 3t>o
men, to meet the recruits expected to urrive from
California by the s eamship Orizaba. He arrived
at San Juan on the 30th, and expected to find some
live hundred recruits. Unfortunately for him there
were but 41 under the command of Major Torey
and Capt. lfuchanan. The company joined the
Nicaraguan service as the Stockton Rangers.—
ihey were recruited by M»j<>r Torey, and Capt.
Buchanan was elected after the formation of tbe
o unnany. Although somewhat disappointed, Gen.
Walker did not appear disheartened in consequence
of tbe small number of the recruits, and when, he
left to return to Rives on the 2d of Februaty, tie
dt-elared h s intention of making scot her attack
upon San George as soon as possible after reach
ing his head-quarters. The force now at San
George consists as near as I have been able to
learn, of about 1,500 men, mostly Costa Ricans, in
ffoitd condition and well'forti ed, while the most
lfivorable reports of Walker's strength place it
ftt 700 This, of course, he must divide when he
a‘tanks the enemy—leaving a portion to protect
Rivas.
Soou after Gen. Walker left with his reinforcements
for Kivas, it was repor*ed by two men who return
ed to San Juan del Sur, that a personal difficulty
hail occurred between General Saunders aud Cap
tain Hii-hanan, and that three shots had been ex
changed 1 tie uitiicuity waa said to have occurred
fr on -'»otaiu Bucbanati’s believing that one of his
men had been ill-used by the General
ine warmest fridnda ~f Ge eral Walker and his
Cause at San Juan del Sur were not sanguine of bis
Buoee*s, alter knowing the difficulty of raising
recruits, aud learning that he had tailed in both ms
rec-ut attacks upon the allies.
The management of Geu. Canas aud the other
a> i-d fficers are highly c >mmended by umny who
not wish them success. Their fortifications are
1 -o*- **d upon as tbe best that could be Constructed
under the circumstao-s, and their determination
to tight if possible only behind barricades, show
that they have a correct appreciation of the coolness
and to avi ry of their own soldiers aud those of
Gen. Walker. 9
The New treatt with Mexico negotiated by
Mr. Foisvtb is variously represented. One state
ment is that Lower Cali tornia and Sonora have beeu
purchased fir $25,000,000, payable in annual instal
ments of $5,000,000. Certain regulations for the
encouragement of commerce and of mail comcnuni
catioq accompanying this principal stipulation
Another version is that iu consideration of a strip of
territory we are to lend Mexico $15,000,000, It is
said that one provision of the treaty contemplat i
the allowance of American claims to tbe amount of
$3 ,000,000. A rumor also prevails in Washington
that the Mexican Government is about to apply to
the United States for protection, iu view of menaces
from abroad and home dissensions. This, however,
is high y improbable, as the condition of domesric
affair* i« daily becoming more settled under the ad
mininist ration of Comonfort, and the prospect of a
war with Spain is growing less distinct. It is said
that the treaty was negotiated by our Minister with
out positive instructions fiotrt the State Depart
ment, his attention only having been directed to
the completion of a commercial arrangement
which would place the trade of the two countries
on a satisfactory basis —Baltimore American

tion.
Mr .Douglas hoped the bill would be reconsider

restricting the right to vote to citizens of the United

Tennessee, as having been uttered to something he ■
(Mr. Sherman) had said, pending the debate on tiie
Kansas amendment. He wished (the gentleman to j
say whether he was correctly reported.
Mr. Wright replied that, he b> Sieved at the time. !
that the statement made by Mr. Sherman, wn* un
true.
Mr. Sherman said from what ihe could learn, be
believed it was the language of iblajekguardism, in

HOUSE.
Mr. Luvis, of Maryland, called up the resolution
! of the select committee for the expulsion of Gilbert,
j ofNew-York.
A letter wa* read from Gilbe t, denying the C r WLl'
j ife ask s. that the ex pat te testimony of Sweeney
i and Simontou be printed, deeming it necessary for
1 his defence.
I Mr. Benuiitt. of New York, offered « resolution
| to effect that object, and moved to re commit the
j report.
Mr. Orr Said Siuioutou declined Iu give the names
I of certain witnesses except on comlitibn that they
I would nut be published, rut their evidence was
| merely surmises of Simonton, and did not affect the
1 case.
After debate the urigiuai testimony was produced,
1 from which it appeared that omissions were made
going to show that the[chief anxiety of Sweeney was
to convict the accused.
Mr. Purviauoe offered a resolution fixing to-mor
row at noon &>r the trial of Gilbert.
Aioug debate ensued, during which Mr. Colfax
of Indiana, pointed out gross contradictious between
Triplett aud Sweeney.
Mr. Gilbert’s defence was reid. He assumesthat
the committee went beyond their power. The only
two » it nesses are Sweeuey and Triplett, who stand,
by their own confession, accomplices iu guilt, and
seek to convict him, with tlieinj, and thereby escape
the consequence of their own| admitted acts. Mr.
Gilbert asserted his inuooence,|and avowed that he
would cheerfully abide the judgineut of the House.
Mr. Bennett's resolution was tabled—73 ayes, 120
navs.
Mr. Edwards, of New York, said the Simonton
testimony was false.
Mr. Davis justified the committee.
Mr. Gilbert will be heard to moirow.
From Utah—Death—Destitution.
A letter from Great Salt Lsike City, dated De
eember 4th, which we find id the New York Tri
bune, contains the sub|oined interesting news :
The Mormon church has lostlone of its main pil
lars by the sudden death of Jedediah M. Grant, se
cond couns -llor of Brigham Yjluiig, mayor of this
city, and member elect of the Uegisl&ture. He died
on the night of December 1, a)id Waa buried this
morning with all the honors of tjhe church.
Mr. Grant was a native of New Hampshire, and
was about 40 years ot age at the tune of his de
cease. Os moderate literary attainments, iu which
he enjoyed somewhat the advantage of his associ
ates iu the presidency, he wah cue of the most
tulanted men amoug the Mormons. Very sarcastic
and abusive in his disourses, and a perfect adept in
the school of billingsgate, he was always noted as
the most bitter reviler of the Gentiles. It was only
a few Sundays ago that he denounced them most,
violently, and said tha* he was ready to take Iris
bowie-knife in hand and chase jhem out of the Ter
ritory ; but he has now gone io his last account,
leaving several disconsolate widows, and several
children, four of whom are under eight weeks of
age, to mourn his loss.
It is not known who will succeed Grant, his suc
cessor being appointed by Brigham.
Another of the hand cart trains arrived here last
Sunday in a condition which beggars all descrip
tion. \\ intef caught them in the inounlaicis desti
tute of clothing and provisions, and had not the re
lief which was sent from here reached them, every
one t f them would have perished. As it is, out of
the 50ff which started, one-fout th have died, and
more than lffil of the remainder have lost their
bauds or feet from the effects df the cold. When
they reached here there weie dot 50 in the train
who could help themselves: the rest were stowed in
the bottoms ot the wagons which had been sent for
them, ragged and filthy beyond conception: help
less and despairing, they could hr would not get out
of the wagons to attend tbe cabs of nature, and if
the weather had not beep inteiisely cold it would
have bred a pestilence. I never imagined such a
scene. Heaven preserve me from witiajssing such
anot her. And yet the Deseret News has the effron
tery to tell the world that they came through well.
It is said that there are yet liujid reds of these poor,
deluded wretches iu the mountains. A few davs
ago an express reached here Irom an ox-train which
is camped on Green river. Tinir cattle had given
out, aud they were bare of provisions, being ob
liged to f-ed ou their dead battle. Some forty
wagons, with provisions, have done: to their relief,
to endeavor, if possible, to get tiijem into Fort Bridg-
The weather has been very cold for a month past,
and a great deal of snow has fallen. The winter set
in at least a month earlier than last year, and has
been as yet, more severe. If it continues so there
will not he much stock left iu (these valleys next
spring.
There have been already more than fifty applica
tions made to Brigham for divorces by women who
arrived in the first emigrant trajns. It seems that
elr orr > v ®l here, when they jwere yet ignorant
of the ways of Zion, a great many of "the Mormon

Lafayette t'oiioe,
A i i iiui’i.H the day was a moat delightful ope,
the kupreewioii that the race would not be a closely
oon tested one, caused a .•‘mallei attendance yester
day than on the previous day. Early iu the day it
was known that two horses would start for the
purse—l’uryear's Charleston and McDanusl's
Dark,i,/t* The former was the favorite at large
odde—five to one. and in some instances larger odds
was offered with but few takers
The result proved that the knowing ones were not
at tault, as Charts!on was an easy winner in two
straight heats Time of fir.-t heat, 3m lOja.; second
heat, 3m. 43|e.
After this race, the most laughter provoking
scene of tue wpek, the Mule race, came off to
which there were three entries —mile heats, beet
three in five. The purse was taken by Glover's
mule in three straight heats. This was altogether
the most amusing scene we have ever witnessed on
a race course —and as our risitiles were altogether
too much excited to make notes of the events, we
will not attempt any description—indeed, no effort
of out ’s could convey to the leader the most distant
idea of the reality, lime: fha 59s 3m. 125., and
3m. 10s.
The races to-day close the meet ing tor the season,
j and the prospect now is that it will be by far tl;e
; most interesting day of the week, as there wili be a
‘ four mile race, and a mile race, the best three in five
The following are the entries :
For the four mile race, a Post Stake, $250 eu
j trance—ptay or pay, to which the Club adds $100(1.
| Six entries have been made of which the following
will start —possibly others : tine Washington, ( >ho ,

For the mile race, the, best three in five, Jockey

Ihe Premiership.—The Washington correspon
dent ot the Herald, writes as follows concerning the
difficulties encountered by Mr. Buchanan iu the ee
■ lection of his Secretary of State : “Mr. Cobb was
the first choice of Mr. Buchanan, but with that fact
understood, there came a tremendous pressure from
the Southern ultras against Cobb as Premier, and
for Robert J. Walker. Mr. Buchanan would pro
bably have compromised the trouble by giving
\\ alker his old place /in the T eusury, but Cobb
would not agree to make a Cabinet unit with Wa'k
er, and henc; the return back to Gen. Cass for Pre
mier. The appointment of < ass and Cobb, how
ever, to the two commanding positions in the Cabi
net. strikes the secessionists between wind and
water.”
Monument to Gen. Harrison.— The Cincinnati
Times says, it is now an established fact that an
effort is to bo made to raise a fund for the purpose
of erecting a monument to the memory of the
of Tippecanoe. A* ball is to take place on the 23d !
ins!., the proceeds of which are to be applied to
the purpose. The memory of the Pioneer General,
the hero of t. long and bloody Indian war, is cer
»tainly worthy of such a testimonial from those who
are now enjoying the privileges for which he strug
gled, and endured the privations incidental to fron
tier life.
Further from Nicaragua.—The New York
Courier has a letter dated San Juan, February P 2,
which says :
We have not as yet any communication with the
interior, the Costa Ricans having possession of Sera
piqui, all trie lake, and Virgin Bay, A party of
fiihbustera ’srho arrived after the Costa Ricans bad j
taken poesossion of the boatn, have encamped some !
six mises float the Serapiqui, and have been repuis- j
ed by the Oosta Ricans with great loss. The last 1
attempt was made some throe days since, with the i
reinforcements which arrived from New Orleans, j
and it is said that they were repulsed with a loss of
sixty men. Since that time they have not renewed ’•
the attack. It is thought tboy will have to abandon
the undertaking owing to the difficulties which it
otters, and ab»o on account or the dysentery which
prevails. J
A Mystery Excluded.—About five years ago
an intelligent boy of fifteen years committed suicide
in Troy, N. I. lime passed, and the melancholy
affair was forgotten. Rester tly, however, his spirit
was summonod at a “ circle’ ’of spiritualists in that
place, aud uiaue the startling revelation that instead
of destroying his own life it vras taken from him du
ring his sleep; a nail was driven into his head,
whence no blood.could flow, and be awoke in the
spirit world. As a cause of the murder; he stated
that he had discovered crim.Lual relations existing
between a man unknown aud his own mother, who
is still living, and was murdered by them iu order to
proof of their guilt. In the frenzy of
excitement caused by these revelations, the body
was exhumed, a jury summoned, an examination
held, and a verdict rendered declaring the painful
rumors without foundation. No marks were found
«n or about the body correspond in g to the alleged

The foilowiug account of the change produced in
Mature, Walton counter, by the abolition of the Rum
Shops, we find iu the Athemi Watchman:
We spent several days among the hospitable citi
sens ot Walton during the session of their Superior
Court last week, aud feel it to be our duty to be*
testimony to the improved maimeis and morals oT
thepeopte since the dosing of the drinking estab
lishments in Monroe. This, as our readers are
aware, was effected at the beginning of the year, not
by the enactment of town ordinances, or any other
laws, but by the common touseut oi the citizens, j
who, by voluntary contributions raised sufficient
funds to purchase not only the stock of liquors on
baud, but also the buildings occupied by tnese es
tablishments. After doing this, they voluntarily
bound themselves one to another never to rent or
sell their pioperty 1» the purpose of re-establishing
any retail shops. After ** Prince Alcohol ' ana
“ John Barleycorn’ were thus practically outlawed
by the citizens, the Town Council passed oue <*r
two very stringent ordinances against them. This
is briefly the history of the great reform w rought in
Walton. W e know of no couDty iu the State where
tippling waa ao common. It was not only respecta
ble, but fashionable , and the consequence was that
many as noble aouled citizens as any county can
boast, have been from time to time consigned to the
drunkard s grave. In addition to this, the village
w’tta convened into a perfect Bedlam on public oc
casions, when in tne afternoon, one the men
about the public equate were more or less under the
influence of ardent spirits, aud fighting, quarreling
aud loud cursing were the order of the day.
The change for good is now' so great as to strike
the most careless observer. We have not Seen
such good order—such decorous propriety, and gen
eral good feeling manifested by so large a crowd
any where else as by -the people of Walton during
the Superior Court last week. This change bowing,
w e apprehend, not to the entire suppression of the
use of spirits, but rather to a prevention of its ’
#bu?e. j ’he chief evil of the liquor traffic is docial, !
public aud promiscuous drinking. Men usually
only drink to excess when tuey drink in crowds.
The suppression of tippling houses prevents this
sort of drinking, but dues uot iuteifere at all with
the citizen’s right to drink at home or to carry
hi-> bottle in his pocket and drink whenever he
pleases.
The experiment of our Whlton friends has de- \
monstrated these facts, and we hope to see the \
citizens of other localities “ do likewise”—feeling
satisfied that this piau does not interfere with the
private lights of auy one while it cannot be denied
that it i; a gr.*at public beuetit.
Interesting Foreign * Items.—The following
items we take from the Paris letter of the New York
Commercial :
The great French painter, Horace Yeruet, has
left for the United States to execute the contract
offered him by the American Congress for the new
Capitol at Washington. It is reported here that he
is to receive 200,000 dollars for this contract. Os
course this ib an exaggeration.
The Emperor has just given an audience to the
American engineer Kelley, who wished to submit
to his majesty a plan for the construction of a ship
canal without locks through the Isthmus of Pana
ma. The Emperor was much pleased with the plans
of Mr. Kelley, and seemed disposed to join with the
governments of Great Britain aud the United
States, it necessary, for. the expeusea of the pre
liminary surveys and thedooation of the route indi
cated.
If expedition is humauity, then the guillotine of
Paris is the most Immune instrument of its kiud in
existence From the time Verges issued from the
door of the prison, at the distance of a hundred
feet from the guideline, until his mutilated body left
the ground iu a close carriage, rvas but one minute.
letters from Spain speak of the possibility ot an
absolutist coup d'etat, which will follow the voyage
of the Queen into the province, as occurred formerly
with Queen Christina.
The entrance fee to the Bourse of Paris during
the month of January (the first mouth) amounted to
s24,ooo,comprising,however, the annual subscrip
tion.
An alarming date of affairs prevails iu Naples.
Tne King has retired to the Palace of Caserte, aud
has had the sewers aud gas pipes barred with iron.
Past nine o’clock at night all is black and deserted
in the streets of Naples. The governmental inqui
sition is carried to such an extreme that iu the ho
tola no pointed kuives are allowed, and the cooks
are obliged to use knives with rounded points. An
actor who carried arms—theatrical arms—to use in
the inoffensive duels of melo drama, had them con
fiscated and destroyed.
The arrests had ceased a little at the last dates,
but perhaps, it must be admitted, because the pri
sons were lull. A great number of prisoners had
been crowded into the prison Vicarea, in a single
room without floor, where they had neither chairs
nor beds, arid were deprived even of their hats.
Sa\ annah Valley Railroad.— At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of this road, held on
Wednesday, IBth inst, at Calhoun's Mills, we learn
that Mr. J. A. Calhoun declined a re-election to the
~*• i> .._.t o.»t u. j. r P. omu u, of an
derson, was elected by the company.
It appears that the company have ceased to rely
upon Augusta lor the promised subscription of ssol)'.
000 of stock, aud that they will abaudou the amend
ed charter by which it was proposed to make Augue
to the terminus of the road The company have
some $160,000 of private subscriptions, andjthey
propose to raise $160,000 more, making SOOO,OOO,
and then they will have the State subscription of
$250,000 of the Greenville Railroad stock, which, ut
its real value, would be worth $150,000, these items
would make the available .stock of the company
$760,000. This is supposed to be half as much as
will be required the estimated cost of the road be
ing $1,500,000.
The Company now propose to build the load to
Hamburg, as contemplated by tfie original charter,
and have, by a resolution, instructed the president
and directors to let out the contracts for bridging
aud grading the road from Hamburg to Anderson,
as soon as they can raise $150,000 additional stock.
It is supposed that by raising this $150,000, they
will then have enough to grade and prepare the
road for the laying down of the iron. When the
track is prepared for the iron, they hope to procure
the endorsement of the State upon their bonds for
the purchase of the iron, Sec.— AbbeviUe Banner.
A Southern University.—A vigorous move
ment is now being made iu the southern States,
originating, it is said, with Bishop Polk, of Louisi
ana, for the establishment! of an University upon a
most liberal basis. It is proposed that no actual
steps in the expenditure of money shall be taken
until the sum of live hundred thousand dollars shall
have been secured. Others argue that at least a
milliou of dollars can be obtained. The project has
met with favor iu eight of the southern States, and
it is thought that there will be no difficulty in procu
ring whatever funds may be required.— Baltimore

Horrible Sufferings of a Man Lost d* the
Prairie.—On the 13th of D cember a young man
named McCormick, about eighteen years of age.
started from a point on the lowa river, four miles
above Alden to cross over to Wall Lake, a distance
of twelve miles, with an ox team aud sled load of
provisions, for his home. He had uot proceeded far
when he was overtaken by one of those violent
snow storms aud driffe which have been so plenty
this winter, and lost the road. Afte- wandering
about all day in the blinding and drifting snow-, he
took lire cattle hour the sled, in hopes Hist they
would find the way home ; but this failed, lie then
determined to leave his cattle, and by hi* own ef
forts try to find some human habitation. lie accor
dingly started, taking his dog and his gun, but Lis
dog left Iran aud went back to the sled, and he him
self became so exhausted that he threw away his
gun. Night soon set m aud the tempest raged with
unabated violence,and giving himself up for lost,
he sunk down in the snow, never expecting to rise
again; but after resting a short time he made oue
more effort, and looking around he found a large
snow bank. In this bank he succeeded iu making
himself a kind of burrow, into which he crawled,
aud which iu a good measure screened him from the
storm. Here lie slept comparatively comfortably
till morning. The storm continued the next day,
and lie wandered about iu a bewildered state, and
during the long stormy day struggled desperately,
wiihout knowing wither he was going—to tiud a set
tie merit —but in vain, and as night again spread her
sable curtains over the desolate waste, he sank down
exhausted, benumbed, his limbs frozen, to die; but
about eight o'clock in the evening he heard the
barking of n dog. This aroused him to make a last
effortfor hi's life, but his frozen limbs refused to do
their office, aud he was compelled to crawl ou his
hands and knees. The dog kept running and bark
iug before him, and guiding his course by him, he
dragged himself along over two miles distance, and
reached a house about two o’clock iu the morning,
having been on the prairie 11 hours without food or
drink.
He was brought to Alden, wherf he now lies iu a
low, emaciated critical state. One of his legs has
been amputated ; the other has literally rotted off
above the ankle, and as soon as he is able to un
dergo the operation, it will be amputated Herald.
Exploration oe the Niger— The London
Daily News mentions the fact, that the Admiralty
have enlarged their plana with regard to the con
templated expedition up the Niger River, aud that
it is now proposed to dispatch annually, fm the next
five years, a small steamer up that river, at the
public cost, The command of the steamer is con
fined to Mr Baikie. aud it has been determined
that the first year's exploration shall be confined to
that branch of the Niger which at the confluence
is known as the Quorra and that the second year’s
.'hall be devoted to the other branch, called the Bi

The Kolibcrr of fliiilitnit' KunlUn Jewels.
L’iuladelfhia, Feb 22.—The papers of your
city some time since received by telegraph a notice
of the robbery of some $20,000 worth of jewels be
longing to Madame Hush of this city. 1 have just
learned the following interesting facts iu reference
to this mysterious robbery, the perpetrators of which
have, not yet been discovered.
Madame Rush, as is well known by the fashion
able world of this aud every city iu the Union, pos
sesses immense wealth, amt resides in an extensive
mansion at tin West end of Chesmit street, where
she receives those upon whom fortune has smiled
like a queen. On Thursday night, the 29th of Jan
uary, a private party and ball was given by Madame
Kush to the elite and fashion of Philadelphia. The
spacious rooms were crow ded with richly dressed
ladies, whose jewels flashed luaek the brilliant light
from a hundred gaslights. .Madame Rush was the
observed of all observers, tor upon b#r head,.arina
aud breast there sparkled jewels which cost her
$20,1)00 in Paris. *
The ball continued until four o'clock iu the morn
ing, when tin-guests retired, ami the house was se
curely closed. Madame Rush placed her jewels up
on the marble slab ol her bureau, where they were
found the next morning. After breakfasting she
instructed out other favorite servants to place the
jewels in their caskets, watch it is supposed, was done,
Madame Rush having so much confidence in the
•honesty ot her servant that she did not even lookat
the caskets to see whether the jewels had been
placed in their position. During Friday nigh Ma
dame Hush thought .-he- heard her chamber door
creek twice, but, being half asleep, paid but little
attention to it, and on rising ou Saturday morning,
she went to her t mean drawer for the purpose ot
Kt-uing some money, in which there had been placed
$39", when fhet'out <1 that the money had In <-n ab
stracted. Tbisardtoed her suspicious, uud, ou ex
amining the caskets, she found that all her jewels
had been stolen. Site immediately sent for Dr.
Kuril, and related to him the robbery. He at biiee
examined the Lo se, and found that all the doors
were secured, and no evidence couid be found of
any one having forced an entrance into the house.
A thorough .catch wesaiao made by the officer-*,
and nothing couid he discovered.
The jewels were advertised, and a reward of $1 -
00" waa tiered, and Lieut. Buckley aud High Con
stable Itu-sell instructed by the Mayor to' confer
with Mad Kush upon the subject, but w ith a l the
acuteness ol these aud other officers at the Chief's
office, not the slightest due has been obtained to
this mysterious robbery. It is supposed that the
; robbery was committed by some one laminar with
every part of the house, and also where Madame
Hush kept the keys ot her mouey drawers, as the
key waa found in its proper place, and the drawer
locked when the loss was dtscov ered. The jewels
are in all probability in your city, and some ot the
New York office!s urny yet be the lucky ones to
discover their whereabouts. Since the robbery,
Madame Rush has been much annoyed by broken
down police officers uud other scamps, who call up
on her for the purpose of giving important iatormu
tton that wui lead to the recovery ot the jewels, but
wuich will cost money. Madame Rush is too shrewd,
however, to be tfius imposed upou.
ihe rabbfry has caused as much excitement iu
the fashionable world tu> the Burdell case in yuur
c»t-y, and still c out miles to be tfie most prominent
topic of conversation.
ASiKAMSHti-iN a Storm.—A letter from Capt.
Lowber, of the steamer Ericsson, which sailed from
New York ou Saturday, the 17th January,describes
the fearful experience of this, steamer during the
disastrous gale of the 18th ult. He taj s :
