A Nose Puller.
The correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce notice* a singular case now waiting for
the opinion of the U. S. Attorney General. In
1831, Lieut. Randolph was dismissed from the
navy by order of Gen. Jackson, for being a de
faulter. The case was subsequently decided in
favor of Randolph, at Richmond, Chief Justice
Marshall presiding on it. The letter-writer
says:
“ A short time afterwards, Mr. Randolph made
a personal assault upon Gen. Jackson, in the
cabin of a steamboat, at the wharfin Alexandria,
and in the presence of hundreds of persons
pulled the President’s nose. After the lapse of
nearly twenty years, Mr. Randolph has come to
this city and demanded, as an act of justice, from
President Taylor, restoration to the service. He
has produced letters from Henry Clay, and other
eminent men, strongly urging his claims upon
the Executive. The President and the Secre
tary of the Navy, after examining the case,
have asked the opinion of the Attorney Gener
al, by which they will be guided.”
We suppose that should “ Old Zac” refuse to
appoint the gallant Lieutenant, he may look out
for his nasal organ—the defaulter will doubtless
attempt to play the same tune on it that he did
on “ Old Hickory's.” By the bye, what a grand
idea it would have been—if the President had
thought of it, —to have employed this successful
nose-puller, to station himself at the door of the
White House during the season for distributing
appointments, and give every intruder a comfor
table twist of his proboscis! We reckon the
Lieutenant would have liked the lun amazingly,
especially when he could get a convenient hold
on some of the immense handle-noses that acted
the part of “ fore-runners” for the office-seekers.
But, seriously, who ever thought of a man’s
pulling the of Gen. Jackson.'' We think
the fingers, Ijody, commission and everything
else belonging to such a presumer upon “ Old
Hickory’s” “ vested rights" would ha xefound
themselves missing in such an attempt.
The Coat or Arms of Cai.ifor.ma.—Cali
fornia has prepared a coat of arms and a seal,
which is described by a correspondent as having
on the foreground a grizzly hear, feeding upon
a cluster of grapes, emblematical of the most
fearful animal, and the most delicious luxuries
of the country. Upon the right is a represen
tation of Minerva holding the Gorgon Shield in
■one hand, and a spear in the other, emblematic
■of its springing into existence as a State, with
outgoing through the forms of a territorial gov
ernment. The reverse is the representation of
the miner with pick and spade and implements
of mining, toiling for the precious treasure. In
the middle a river, on which are seen steam
boats, emblematical of commerce. In the dis
tance is the snow-clad tops of the Sierra Neva
da : and on the top the motto, “ Eureka,” ( I
have found it,) applicable either to the miner as
success attends liis labors, or the stranger, ns lie
settles down in the valley of the country, or to
the politician, as he sees a State admitted at
ouce without any previous legislation
English Pauperism. —There is a voluminous
return of the number of paupers receiving re
lief in England, and Wales, in 566 Unions.
«In the Ist July the number of surh paupers \va-
I, and in places not included in the re
turn —200,83!) —in all, a million and sixty-eight
thousand. In 1841, the population of England,
and Wales, was not quite sixteen millions. The
number of lunatics and idiots, inmates in work
houses, was 4,500. The number of the same
class receiving relief out of doors was 23,047.
Buenos Ayres. —ilosas having expressed a
desire, ill his lust annual message, to he relieved
of the cares of government, owing to the grow
ing infirmities of age, the House of Represen
tatives declared its irrevocable determination
not to accept liis resignation. Hut the Governor,
in reply, repeated his entreaties to be relieved
of the supreme command ; and the matter was
referred to the Committee on Constitutional Af
fairs. Probably it will result, like his previous
overtures of resignation, in confirming his ten
ure of office.
'll was supposed at the date of the last advi
ces received by the N. Y. Journal of Commerce,
October Bth, that the force about to be sent by
file Buenos Ayrcan government against Para
guay would amount to not less than 17,000 men.
Ike preparations were considerably advanced,
and the expedition expected to leave soon.
Mexico. — The Mexican paper, El Siglio, says
•hat the Mountaineers in Guatemala were wa
ging war in Mexico in the most cruul manner.
It was thought that the States now separated,

In poor Richard’s Almanac for the year of
Christ, 1773, and under the month of Decem
ber, “ which hath thirty-one days,” we find the
following quaint instruction —
“She that will eat her breakfast in her bed,
[ And spend the morn in dressing of her head,
And sit at dinner like a maiden bride,
And talk of nothing all day hut of pride;
God in Ilis mercy may do much to save her,
But vvliat a case is ho in that shall have her."
t?” A London Paper says: “Amongst the
passengers in the Canada was Mrs.

Experience in the Gold Region —The New
\ ork Journal of Commerce, of Wednesday
week, has the following instructive report:
An intelligent young friend, who has just re
turned from California, gives his experience in
brief but emphatic language. After a weari
some voyage round the Cape, he reached San
Francisco, and left immediately for the “ dig
gings.” There he was sick nearly three months.
His tent was in the midst of dry sand-heaps,
with the thermometer at an average of 112 de
grees during the day. Many of the amateur
gold diggers were exhausted with the hard labor,
and suffering from blistered hands ; others were
going about with their arms in slings from the
same cause. Finding his recovery doubtful if
lie remained at the mines, after paying his nurse
SSOO, and his physician S7OO more, he was able
to reach San Francisco and embark for home.
Just before be left that place, two young inen,
whose parents are opulent in New York, and
whom he had often seen in fashionable costume
on Broadway, accosted him. Their rough ex
terior had so disguised them, that they were not
recognised. One of them was driving an ox
team at S2OO per month, and the othe-, at simi
lar wages, was carrying bricks on a board strap,
ped round his neck, as a tender to some masons.
With scarcely an exception, the gold hunters
were all anxious to return. Pride prevented
some : want of means many others. Some of
them congratulated him that he had such a
good excuse for returning. They would wil
lingly exchange their health for his debility, if
they could only reach their homes again. Dis
appointment and dejection were common.
Scarcely one had realized even moderate expec
tations.
O” The City Mills at Rochester, New York,
recently gave way under the presure of eleven
thousand bushels of wheat, all of which went
down to the river below the mill, and was lost.
About oue half of the building is reported to be
in ruins. The mills and their contents were the
property of Gen. Beach.
Sunk. —From the New Orleans Weekly Cres
cent of the 3rd inst., we learn that the St. Paul,
Capt. W. Norris, left St. Louis on the 17 ult.,
with a full load for New Orleans, and when
near Cat Island she struck a snag and sunk in
ten feet water. The boat and most of her cargo
will be a total loss.
Another Scheme. —The New York corres
pondent of the Washington Union states that
there is a proposition in circulation to subscribe
a joint stock capital of six to seven thousand
dollars, to purchase negroes in Maryland, give
them their freedom, and take five years' inden
tures to work in California for gold. The con
cern embraces Attorney General Johnson among
its patrons.
Distinguished “Boys.” —Among the 3000
“hoys” who were taught by the late Dr. Abbott,
of Exeter, Me., are Lewis Cass, Levi Woodbu
ry, Daniel Webster, Alexander 11. arid Edward
Everett, Jared Sparks, George Bancroft, Henry
Ware, Jr., John G. Palfrey, John A.Dix,and
Joseph S. Buckminster.
Marriage in High Life.- Miss Cornelia
Scott, daughter of General Scott, was married,

Influential Sympathy. —-‘Charlotte Har
ris, says a London letter,“who was condemn
ed to he executed, has been saved, chiefly by
the great exertions of the accomplished and hu
mane Mary llowitt, who not only drew up a
touching memorial to the Queen, hut she so
licited, in person, day after day, and night after
night, the signatures of the influential ladies of
England.” So the “influential ladies of Eug
land" may suspend the laws when they see pro
per to do so. Sympathy is a wonderful virtue,
hut it is worth a great deal more among the “up"
per ten thousands" than in the more respectable
portion of society. So says the world.

what is called Florida coffee, the consequence
of which was death within four days afterward.
Steamboat Trimmer. —An ingenious contri
vance for trimming steamboats, and also sailing
craft, has been invented by E. L. Evans, of N.
Jersey. A model of the invention is now on
exhibition at the American Institute in Broad
way, New York. Steamboats, with their hea
vy upper works, and slight hold upon the water,
arc always careening in rough weather, and sev
eral men on board each steamer have to be em
ployed in pulling the heavy chain box about, in
order to keep her steady. In seasons of alarm
among passengers, it is almost impossible to trim
a vessel by the ordinary process. The appara
tus at the Institute consists of a railroad and cra
dle combined, placed athwart cither deck, by
which the regulating weight can promptly be
changed from one position to another, by the
aid of a wheel fixed in the pilot house, and al
ways under that officer’s immediate control.—
The machinery is simple and effective, and the
expense small.
Rather Doubtful. — Fowler, the Phreno
logist, in his work entitled hereditary descent,
gives to every man a numerous ancestry. He
says: “ Every human being on the face of the
globe is compelled from a demand in nature, to
have two parents, four grand parents, eight great
grand parents, sixteen ancestors of the fourth
generation back, thirty-two of the fifth, two
hundred and fifty-six of the eighth, thirty-two
thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight of the
fifteenth, almost one million and fifty thousand
of the twentieth, and nearly one thousand
seventy-three million of the thirtieth generation
The whole number of every one’s ancestors for
fifty generations amounts to two thousand three
hundred and sixty-two billion, seven hundred
and forty-nine thousand nine hundred and four
teen million, two hundred and fourteen thou
sand, and forty-six (2,362,749,914,214,046)—a
multitude, verily, which no man can number,no
mind conceive ! The blood of this vast host is
running in the veins of every living mortal,and
that reckoning back only fiftv generations.”
We are not inclined to believe this calcula
tion, for if it be true, we should like to know
how the doctrine of only two fore parents can
be reconciled with it ? Mr. Fowler would make
out a greater number of ancestors for each one
of us, than the whole human family.
Extensive Surgical Operation. —The New
York Journal of Commerce says that Dr. Mott
performed an operation in that City a few days
ago exceeding any of his former practice. A
huge tumor had grown with the growth of a
middle aged woman, until it extended entirely
round, from the neck to the shoulder-blade,
reaching down the side, nearly to the hip. The
tumor was 21 inches long, and weighed nine
pounds after ii was off. During the operation,
which occupied nearly an hour the patient suf
fered but little, being under the influence of
chloroform. More than fifty ligatures were used
in tying up the veins; and some of tho latter
were so enlarged, that the finger could he thrust
into their openings. Since the operation, the
sufferer is comparatively comfortable, and there
are hopes of her ultimate restoration. The
hideousness of the tumor, and its unceasing dis
comfort, had made life to her almost unindura
ble.
Arrested. — Hon. R. J. Walker, has been ar.
rested in Wilmington, Delaware, as security for
a note held by some persons in Mississippi. It
is said that suit was brought against Mr. W. in
Mississippi, tor this note, but he proved that
value had never been given for it and the plain
tiff failed to obtain judgement.

County Court, held in Rockville, Md., a man

Smoking the “ MusquiTos.” —The crew of
an American brig which was wrecked on the
coast of Honduras, haviug been robbed by a
party of Indians, and demanding restitution in
vain—attacked their village—called Qaimnwatla
—and burned it to the ground. The land-pirates
did not stay to see the conflagration.
Loss rv Riots. —The N. O. Commercial Bui
letin says: “In a suit against the General Insu
rance Company to recover the value of a house,
occupied by Chris. Lilly, at New Orleans, which
our readers will recollect, was designedly burnt
during the excitement of the Presidential elec
tion; Judge Buchanan, of the fifth district
court, has decided the insurers were not liable.
We have no doubt of the correctness of this de
cision under the general clause on the subject in
all fire policies, and as little that it will be con
firmed by the Supreme Court. At the North, it
is the municipal government that is liable for
losses of this kind, and the city of Philadelphia
has already paid the pretty little sum of $250,-
000 for property destroyed by riots. We do not
believe the question lias ever been tested as to
the liability of our city government on such oc
casions.”
