At Lexington, a public procession, ex. hibiting considerable enthusiasm, escorted the j ark , led by Menter’s brass baad, to Odd Fel. ows’ Hall, where a large assembly was in waiting. The venerable Chief Justice Rebertson, who . . entered public life with Mr, C. forty-one years . ago, welcemed him in a speech of great force and feeling. As to his course on the Kansas Lecompton bill, the Judge said: You have done as the great commoner would have done.

OCRAT. , 1858, Daring Robbery at San Francisco—Recovery of the Money. A robbery of $10,000 was perpetrated on . board the steamer Senator, at 9 o’clock on the . morning of July 3d, but it was fortunately discovered in time to recover the money and arrest one of the thieves. The Bulletin gives the following account of the affair: . , The Senator, Capt. Thomas W. Seeley, was . lying at Pacific street wharf, and was just about . to start offon her voyage to Los Angeles and . other southerm ports, Capt. Seeley went up on deck for the purpose of giving orders to proceed, when he observed two men at a sky-light, ‘and their suspicious actions arrested hia atten_ tion. As they observed him, one of them shoved something under a table near by, and in a few . Minutes afterwards both men, running to the . Side of the vessel, jumped off on the wharf, . The Captain immediately followed and, with the aid of special pelieeman Smith, arrested one of them, whe subsequently gave his name . 98 Blair Lowry, but who is also known.as Henry . Lowry alias Henry McGyay, The other man aera w wwe ing Vancouvers Island. It was granted achar-. managed to escape and is siill at large. . Upon going back to the steamer and exam. ining the package which had been precipitately . shoved away, Capt. Seeley found a earpet ba . ) cut open, and a small bag containing $10,00 . in gold coin. The money belonged to a native . Californian named Joaquin Cota, who resides at San Luis Obispo, and who had taken pas. Sage on the steamer to Santa Barbara, On ex. amining the sky-light and state-room in which the money had been, it was scen that one of the thieves had entered the state-room with a false key, had passed up the carpet bag to hie companion, and then climbe to the deck through the sky-light himself, “Jt appears that . they bad just cut the carpet bag open, and were . about te dispose of the money, hen they were 80 luckily deteeted by Capt.

Wuy Snovipy’t tax Lapirs Sre Ir?—Two hundred Chippewa Indians and fifty Soux recently engaged in a battle on a bottom in Scott . county, Minnesota, in which the Sioux preved victorious. It was an uneven fight in point of numbers, but the Sioux were armed with a des. perate energy. To render themselves more . dexterous and skillful in the use of their wea. patch of virgin earth, there springs up the . homestead, and by and bye the village, with its schools and churehes, mills and forges, its bleating flocks and lowing kine. The fur bearing animals are banished, and the company’s dividends diminished. This would bea frightful violation of all right by “neage,” and so this considerate company forbid the emigrant to settle in that neble country. It must be consigned to unending silence and desolation. No eye must wander over its glassy slope, save . pons, their cumbersome garments were cast that of the wild savage, looking round the aside, and many of them were fighting in almost . a nude state. a reporter to the scene, who says that there was no regular plan ef battle ; it was a helter skelter fight—a constant running aud dodging fire, . with here and there a band-to-band fight, one . . or the ether of the parties being sure to bury his tomahawk in the skull of his antagonist before itsclose, Muzza Hampa, one of the Sioux, had a desperate rencounter with a Chippawa, in which he was severely wounded, but suceceded in killing bis foe after a long centest. mere boy, belonging to the Sioux, who had only prairie for the animals, whose skin will purThe St Paul Pioneer dispatched . chase the “fire-water’ aod ammunition from his masters, the company of Iludson Bay. Whatcom Lake and River: Among the advantages which our youthful city enjoys, not the least is the close proximity of Whatcom lake and river. The latter pours a perpetual sheet of pure, soft, sweet water into our bay within the limits of the town. This water is cool and healthy during the whole A . year, and is the home of millions of speekled and mountain trout, some of them weighing one arm, came in contact with a Chippewa! eight, but generally averaging from one to four brave. and fought with a desperation rarely, if) pounds, £ ’ I ever surpassed, and continued the fight until he Jaid the brave, who was decked off with all his plumes and Indian paraphernalia, dead at his fect.

Its facilities for extensive waterworks ure unsurpassed in the world, and land in the town is reserved for that purpose. Whatcom lake is surrounded by beautful and picturesque scenery. To the northward, a Our readers will remember that among the claims presented by Limantour, to the Land Commission, for land alleged to have been granted to him. by Micheltorena, was one for eighty square leagues, or 350,000 acres, on the coast, in what is vow the territory of Mendocino and Humboldt countics, It was no slight mat ter of congratulation to those whose Tateters are those of our citizens and State generally, that the claim was rejected. By reference to . (he Law Report, this morning, it will be seen that this claim of Limantour is a mere trifle, to the grant which Mr, Jacob P. Leese endeavered to obtain at the same place, He petltioned for a tract two degrees square, one hundred and forty miles from north to. seuth by eighty miles from east to west: -equal to 1,220 000 acres, This tract, as petitioned for, included the whole of the present Mendocino, Humboldt, and Colusi, nearly all of Trinity, and considerable portions of Tehama, Shasta and Napa counties, Gov. Micheltorena approved of the petition, and sent it to the Supreme Government of Mexico, with a recommendation that it be made. For some reason or other, however, the grant never was made; and Mr. Leese attributes his failure to receive the grant to the machinations of Limantour. If the latter really deserves the credit attributed to him, he has at least one claim to be considered, though unintentionally, a benefactor of California.— Alta. Weis ox rae Deserr.Mr. Tal! left San Bernardino on the 8d of June with a party of twelve men from that place, independent of eight men who will be engaged in preparing stations, for the purpose of digging wells on . the Desert. They were to dig three wells be. tween the base of the mountain at San Gorgonia Pass, and Indian well, on the old route. Seven hundred dollars were subscribed in San Bernardino and the mail company advanced six hundred dollars towards the object. A corres: pondent of the Los Angeles Star, writing from San Bernardino, July 13th, says: Mr. Joseph Bridger arrived here on Monday evening, from the Colorado Desert. He says the party who left this place on the 3d ult, for the purpose of digging wells for the stations of the Overland Mail Company, have succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations, having dug one well only thirty feet. at which depth they had an abundance of good water.

Whatcom Lake and River: Among the advantages which our youthful city enjoys, not the least is the close proximity of Whatcom lake and river.

To the northward, a Our readers will remember that among the claims presented by Limantour, to the Land Commission, for land alleged to have been granted to him. by Micheltorena, was one for eighty square leagues, or 350,000 acres, on the coast, in what is vow the territory of Mendocino and Humboldt countics, It was no slight mat ter of congratulation to those whose Tateters are those of our citizens and State generally, that the claim was rejected. By reference to . (he Law Report, this morning, it will be seen that this claim of Limantour is a mere trifle, to the grant which Mr, Jacob P. Leese endeavered to obtain at the same place, He petltioned for a tract two degrees square, one hundred and forty miles from north to. seuth by eighty miles from east to west: -equal to 1,220 000 acres, This tract, as petitioned for, included the whole of the present Mendocino, Humboldt, and Colusi, nearly all of Trinity, and considerable portions of Tehama, Shasta and Napa counties, Gov. Micheltorena approved of the petition, and sent it to the Supreme Government of Mexico, with a recommendation that it be made. For some reason or other, however, the grant never was made; and Mr. Leese attributes his failure to receive the grant to the machinations of Limantour. If the latter really deserves the credit attributed to him, he has at least one claim to be considered, though unintentionally, a benefactor of California.— Alta.
