They bad a lot of lunces made atSan Diego, not Jong since, and are openly engaged in procuring arms and amanition. The Herald says: This recruiting and fitting out an armed expedition on American soil, for the purpose of invading another country, ehould not be tol erated for a moment, and we are not alone in the opinion t at it is the duty of the command ing officer of this post to arrest the whole party and bave them dealt with ae Walker and other filibusters bave been for the like offeuse against our laws. More Sitver Mines.—The Los Angeles Sia learns tbat another silver mine, said to be of extraordinary richness, has lately been discovered in that section of the State. The location is in the vicinity of Bear Valley, about one ban dred miles from that place. A party had lef! Los Augeles to examine tbe mine, with the intention of investing in the enterprise. Considerable attention, adds the Star, seems to be giv en to the mining interest of our district, aud we bave reason to believe that the various leads are well worth the attention of capitalists, aud that they will be worked to great advantage. Between our silver aod go!d mines, we hope soon to have a large population profitably ewployed in mining operations. A Fremont Reric.—A gentleman of Calave ras county, recently returned from Carson Vulley, says that two miners, en route from Walker’s river to Genoa, just before crossing the south western boundary of Carson Valley. dis covered a cannon—a small U.S, bowitzer, Its presence ip that recluded quarter can only be accounted for upon the presumption that it is the gun mentioned in Fremout's Narative, as having been abandoned by bim in that neighborhood. in January 1846, when he wae preparing for the passage of the Sierra Nevadas, LYNCHING aT Minnesota.—At Minnesota, Sierra county, on Sunday week, a Man was arrested on suspicion of having stolen $200 from a Mr. Ferren. Arope was put around bis neck, aud he was drawn up twe or three times, with the view of compelling him to confess the theft He was severely choked, but denied the theft, and the arresting parties quit, as wise as they were before. Suicipr.—A young man named Arthor Lambert, a patient inthe San Francisco county hospital, committed enicide on Sunday morning. Nov. 27th, He bad been admitted into the hospital a few days before, sick with a fever, andon Sunday morning went to the wharf at the foot of Stockton street, jamped off, and wadrowned, He was twenty-four years of age aud came from Vermont. Acqvitrep.— Wm, aud Eli Judd, indicted in Del Norte county for the murder of Mr, Roth enheim, were tried at Crescent City, notlo g since, aud acquitted. The murder was committed in September, 1857, and the Judds’ have escaped jail two or three times, since they were tirst arrested. Marysvitie and Benicra Rat_noap.—The Board of Supervisers of Solano county bave issued $80 000 worth of bonds to the above oamed railroad company, the same being forty per evnt. of the subscription of that county to the railroad. Grading will soon be commenced . from Suisun city. Deatu or Cor. Parpee.—Col. W. J. Pardee. an old and respected citizen of San Francisco, died suddenly last Wednesday night, of hemorrhage of the lungs, He was formerly agent of . Wells. Fargo & Co,, dnd bas latterly been connected with the Garrison steamship liue. . APppointTMg&) T.— It is stated that the President basappointed Hezekian Brooks to be Postmaster at Yreka, in place of Wm.

Tue Late Battie Fieips.—The Parris corres. from a person who has just returned from a visit to . he field of Magenta and the neighborhood, that already not a vestige remains of the late event, and that the country looks as smiling and prosperous as . if the 1ude breath of war had not passed over it for ages. Trees and foliage seem every where to stand . intact; and, to use his own expression, “one might have passed over the site of the conflict without . ever being aware of it.” Novara had resumed its clean, lively, bustling look, so strikingly in contrast . with the dull, grass-grown streets of Ferrara and other Papal towns; while, to show that liberty is not . merely a name in Sardinia, the London Punch, with some of the coarsest caricatures of Louis Napoleon and of Victor Emmanuel himself, is exhibited openly . in the shop windows, without either police or go. vernment troubling their heads about the matter, ARREST ON A CHARGE OF McrDER.—Thomas Haley was arrested at Petaluma, November 28th, on the charge of having murdered James Neary, on . whose remains a Coroner’s jury had been sitting for . several days back. DEPARTURE or JupGre HorrMan.—Judge Hoff. man, of the U. 8S. District Court, for the northern . Loca PorvLan Errors.—It is an error to . climate is dry in the summer and wet in the winter. . duel, when Benham, Terry's second, received the district of California, purposed leaving the State on . the steamer of the 5th inst. jong he will be absent. Tue Deraciting TreasvReR.—C. C. Breyfohe the defaulting Treasurer of Alameda county It is not known how was tried last week in the Court of Sessions of that county, on one of the indictments found against him, and acquitted. MARBLE DiscoverED.—Mr. J. H. Lee, marble aver, in Shasta, is at work on some specimens of marble obtained form a ledge near Bass’ Ranch, in that county. He pronounces it of good quality. ReMoNSTRANCE.—The citizens of Plumas county are about o to the next Legislature, against the formation of the proposed new county of Alturas. Tue San Joaquin of s) and cattle in that county, in con: of the storm, whieh was the severest . there since 1849, will be very considerable. suppose that California is becoming poor because her surface minea no longer pay an ounce a day to the hand. On the contrary, the richest nations in the world are those who labor the hardest for their property ; whilst the rest are those who make money without an effort and spend it without a thought, It is a popular error to suppose that our country will be worthless when the mines are worked out (if haply that time ever comes). The gold which we labor to produce does not stop at home to enrich us, but diffuses itself all over the world, leavi little to the producer but the transitory satisfaction of counting out the pieces. We shall never grow rich until ne pursuits receive patronage and encout, so that the money we spend for necessaries and luxuries may be told out to our home manufacturers and workers. d It is a great mistake to argue that this country is only fit for fortune hunters and speculators to tarry in, and that every man who is not averaging more than a dollar a & should return to the Atlantic States. If we make as much money per month here as we could in the Atlantic States, we have still one advantage which they have not there, viz: the best climate in the world. It is not true that our soil is worthless, (as most western people will have it,) 7 because it refuses to grow Indian corn. It will produce most excellent grapes, and one acre of vineyard is more valuable than twenty acres of corn. : It a false notion (still too prevalent in the mines) that gambling is profitable, and that whiskey and . strychnine liquids are healthy, merely because the There is an old proverb that “A rolling stone gathers no moss;” and sadly as it has been treated by Californians, it is nevertheless sound philosophy now and forever.—San Andreas Independent. Burnep To Dearu.—We learn from the Trinity Journal, that about nine o'clock, on the night of November 24th, the dwelling house of P, T. Tuthill, half a mile below Weaverville, was discovered on fire, and consumed before assistance could be had. The house was oceupied by Omar Morton and family. Mr. Morton had left the house for a short time, leaving Mrs. Morton and a little daughter of Daniel Osgood, four years old, alone, The first persons who arrived at the house found the little girl some distance away, and across the gulch near by. Search was made for Mrs. Morton, but her charred remains were only discovered after the building was entirely consumed. How the fire commenced, or how the little girl en is all a mystery. She says she ran out of the burning building, and knows nothing of Mrs. Morton. Her feet and clothes were slightly burned, and her face covered with soot or some other substance, showing that she must have had a narrow escape. Mrs. Morton had resided in Trinity county four years, and came there from Humboldt county, Cave ora TunnEL—Two MEN BURIED ALIVE, —We learn just before going to press on Saturday evening, that the tunnel of Messrs. Smith & Sparks main quartz ledge caved on Saturday afternoon, hopelessly burying two men alive. The main tunnel runs into the mountain some nine hundred feet; from this main tunnel a shaft was sunk forty feet, and the men were at work in a drift from the shaft. The shaft was kept dry by an engine stationed in the main tunnel. Some seventy-five feet of the main tunnel caved, burying the engine, and filling up the shaft. The men at the engine had barely time to give the alarm and make their escape, portions of the debris striking some of them as they fled. To reach the shaft would require a clearing of the tunnel for a distance of seventy-five fect. As the engine was constantly employed to keep the shaft dry, it is supposed that the men were drowned in the drift. We did not learn their names, nor what steps had been taken towards their rescue.—Butte Record. A Mystery.—A writer in the San Francisco Telegram, of Nov. 28th, says: It will be recollected by many of your readers, that some months since the dead body of aman was found in the bay near one of our wharves; and an inquest held thereon by the Coroner, and the body . identified as that of Mr. Amos Haskins, of New Bedford, Mass. The body was buried for his, and the bill of expenses forwarded to his wife for payment; also, a meeting of the friends of Mr. Haskins . took place in New Bedford, whereat resolutions of condolence with the wife and family of the deceased were passed. You can well judge of the rglief and surprise of his wife and friends on the 6h day of . last month, to see the veritable Amos Haskins walk into his house in New Bedford, having returned by way of New York on the clipper ship Lookout, in go d health and condition, the first he had heard of his death was on his way from New York, Who the party buried for Mr, Haskins 1s, remains a mystery. SENSIBLE TO THE Last.—There was one really amusing incident, says the Shasta Courier, that occurred on the ground of the Miller-Gallagher duel. It will be remembered that at the Broderick-Terry gold coin from his principal’s pocket, he threw it upon the ground. Remembering this incident, and being of a rather utilitarian turn of mind, Judge Miller, when he passed his loose change, some eighty dollars in gold, over to the hands of William A. . Nunally, who was present as the mutual friend of . both parties, very quietly remarked, ‘ Now Bill, . don’t make a d—d fool of yourself, like Benham, and throw that money away.” If we were not aware . of the fact. adds the Courier, that the Judge never . drinks, we would naturally infer that, by a rapid . process of mental figuring, he had upon his mind a tolerably exact idea of the number of champagne . cocktails that eighty dollars would purchase. Curnese Evipence.—We are led to the belief . that Chinese testimony, even in the trial of their . own countrymen, is not worth a continental ard . should not be taken. The Chinamen sworn as wit. were sworn by the Chinese and some by the Ame. rican form of oath, would have convicted any body . by their evidence. Their minds were seemingly . made to answer any question to the prisoner’s det. riment. A Chinaman has no idea of the real nature . or sacredness of the oath he takes, and our opinion is that in answering questions they lose sight of the . . oath entirely, and do not scruple to swear falsely . see bim. when their object is to convict a countryman of an . opposing party.—Trinity Journal. Figutine Curienos.—The San Andreas Inde. pendent learns that three Chilenos went, as trespas. sers, upon the mining claim of R. Stannard, near . Old Gulch, recently, and when requested to leave, . turned upon Stannard with their long knives, and . although he managed to shoot one of them with his rifle through the shoulder, the three still pressed . upon him with their knives, until having no defense, . he was obliged to retreat or be butchered. He . adopted the former course, and was pursued for nearly a mile. MvuRxper—On the 16th of November, the dead body of a man named Alfred Craig was found floating in Humboldt Bay. He was supposed to have . been murdered at Bueksport, Humboldt Bay, on the . night of the 26th October. The deceased was a native of Sussex, England, was twenty-seven years of age, and at the time of his death was a private . soldier attached to company B, 4th infantry, U. 8. A., stationed at Fort Humboldt. TELEGRAPHIC Seiecenseautinie dnidets! ments are in progress by which, by the month of . March next, San Francisco will be within ten days . communication with St. Louis and the Atlantic . States. By that time the wires will have been laid . between St. Louis and Fort Smith, on the one side, . and San Francisco and Los Angeles,on the other. Honses Dyno rromM Exposure. that two fine horses belonging to an expresstman in Marysville, have died within a few days from exposure to the late cold storms. were out on @ . day, says the San Franciseo Heraid of The following scrap of history ia the Binghamton Democrat, of Oct. 13, from the locality and the personal familiarity with the relations of the great men named which js exbibited in the comments, is ascribed by the Buffalo Commercial to the pen of Daniel S. Dickinson: ‘ Awong the canses of estrangement between Clay aud Taylor, and probably the great and tinal ove, was this; Clay, it will be remembered, had a eov inbumanly butchered at Buena Vista. That son left a widow and a promising, man! boy of some sixteen or seventeen years, This hoy was anxious to be appointed a eadet at West Point aud receive a military education, and bis request was warmly seconed by bis mother and his grandfather, Henry Clay. Cla thereupon wrote to Polk, then President an his successful rival for the station, requesting the appointment of bis grandson asa cadet at large. Polk at once ordered bis name to be placed on the list for appointment, and it was done; but Marey, thea Seeretary of War, apon examination usual in such cases, found that he was below the requisite age to enter the Academy, and the rules of the War Department were too imperative to be changed, and his name was not, for that reason sent to the Senate. Polk, however, placed on the files of the War Department a letter noder bis own band detailing the circumstances, and requesting his successor, whoever be might be, to appoint’ young Clay, who in the first year of the then next Adminis tration, would be of sufficinet age, Taylor, a political friend of Clay, proved to be his succes sor, The list of cadets is usually made out b the Secretary of War and corrected by the President, and in making up the list under Taylor’s Administration, Crawford, his Secretary of War, placed young Clay's name at the head of the list. Taylor, when be came to review the list, struck out the name with bis own hand, and refused to appoint him, This strange act was never forgotten nor forgiven by Henry Clay, and it is believed both parties died without any change in their relations, When Taylor’s death was announced in the Senate, and Webster, Cass and others pronouneed eulogies upou bis character, Clay, on being beckoned to rise, waved his hand significantly, and remained silent, Wuat THKY THINK OF GREKLKY IN THE CHRRokgé Nation.—-It is well Known that the Cherokees own slaves, What they thiok of the Abolitionists may be inferred from the following letier which Sequoyah, a Cherokee, writes to the Arkausian ; The Times, of Fort Smith thinks that there is uot much danger of old Horace Greley visiting the Cherokees, and that there is not much danger iu bim in these parts, bad as they allow him and his emissaries to be. Now, IL have itou the authority of one who says he Kuows, that Horace Greeley says he will come through thiseountry, He iscoming ‘row California per “Overland” and to look afwer the *couditiou’? of the negroes in the Choe‘aw aud Cuerokee Nations, He will also visit Fort Smith, to see if the **cendition”’ of the aoegro is good there, What is he after? First, to make as much auti-slavery capital as be cau. Seoond, to itvest capital in negroes—oetnsibly for the purpose of setting them free, but really to stock a plantation be talks of buying in Louisiana, which Lum credibly informed be is going to purchase, He intends to extend the “deed of freedom’’ by agitating freesoilism ia the Indian Territories uext to us; and to GIL his own pockets by buying slaves there cheap, for his contemplated plautation, Leay again, the Abolitiouists are alter Cherokee eoil, Wateb ’em. GrorGe Law.—The New York correspondent of the New Orleans Creecent, gives the followiug deseription of George Law ; If anything don't pay, George Law respectfully drops it, He now owns uine tenths of the Kiguth Avenue Railroad, which alone is au income of a priuce, and growing more valuable every day. He also owns nearly all the stock of the Niuth aygoue, whieh, when completed, wili run trom the Battery, through Greeawieh street to the Niuth avenue, and thence to Harlem river—a nine mile coucerno. Half the terries belong to Law. He owns the Dry Dock Bauk: the Bank owns about torty scm of ol . ducks, bouses aud land almost in the he the city.

A correspondent of the Boston Traveler, writes from Shanghai a most interesting account of the habits of the Jakeoons, a barbarous people who inhabit the interior of Malacca, Their lan aod features are unlike those of the Malays proper, of whom they are also estos? ndependent. They have no history aving been found by the early Port. gu:ee voyagers in the country in whica they still reside, They are called the Orang-Bennar, or “men of the great country ;’’ the Orang-Ybi, or “men of the forests; the Orang-Semang, or “black men;’? the Jakoons and the Kalats, Oran is the Malay word for man ; and Utan, or Hatang, for forest, whence the word so common with us, ouran-outang, or wild men, if men they may be called, when common opinion has assigned thema rank hardly above mons keys and baboons, hey generally live in houses built of bamboo sticks, and suspended to the tops of lofty trees, to which they ascend by rude ladders, These eabine, suspended to the tree-tops, are 60 narrow that a stranger cannot be admitted without annoyance to a member of the family, or bis exclusion, for one mast go down when new one comes up.

In the second story the oh their arms for safety, their provisions an itchen utensils, all of which are comprised in pikes, in earthen pots, and one or two great China bowls, They eat whatever comes to hand, as wild boars, apes and birds, which laet are taken elther in snares or shot by arrows, and the roo's aod tubers which the earth produces in abundance. If they plant rice, it is only enough ta meet their absolute wants. Instead of regular labor they prefer the fatiguing adventures of the chase, and ranning along the woods, Their cuisine is of the lowest order, their favorite dish being slices of meat balf-cooked and still reeking with blood, _ Their weddings are preceded by a most sine gular and ludierous ceremony, An old mag presents the future busband and wife to a large pareve ie of invited guests, whom he conducts followed their respeotive families, into a grand circle, around whieb the young lady, the bride, sets out running upoo ll, fours, and the young man, who is the bridegroom, in the same style after her, Ifbe succeeds in overtakin ber she becomes bis wife, if not, he forfeits al his rights, and “love's labor is lost’? This often happens wheo the bridegroom fails of pleas: ing the young lady, who endeavors to escape from the embraces of a distasteful or odious husband by beating him in this queer trotting match, Upon the death of one of their number, they wrap his body ina white winding-sheet, aud then deposit it in a grave dug near bis hut, and sometimes iv an erect position, sometimes sitting, and sometimes lying down, They are careful to put a lance at bis side, a “paring” anda “sumpitan,”’ their instruments of war and bunting, but never use any religious ceremony. Still. these weapons placed by the side of the corpse indicate a shadowy belief iu» fur ture existence, Their religion is a confused maga of the grosaest superstitions, propagated by the “Payane,”’ a kind of priests, who are half physicians and half jugglers. Their magical science isin great esteem with the Malays. The singular kind of +life they lead, the pecaliarity of their costume, andthe long intervals of their appearance among the people, secure for them a certain prestige and respect, Seen from afar and tbrough a mysterious veil, they pass for beings endowed with superbuman power, from whom the plants and roots of the forest have recuived their most searet virtues, Ina word, they are believed to bold ia their hands the power of conferring health or inflicting death, In accordance with thie belief, the Malays are careful vot to provoke their ill-will, Naturally the Jakoons are of au open and ingenuous disposition, and withal inclined to gaiety, Tothe appearance of timidity tbey join the independenee of life without control, epent in the midet of thick forests, and everlasting verdure, Rerpectfal without being rervile, in eonversation they uve an abrubt aod violent toue of voice, which strongly contrasts with their habitual gentleness and modesty. They love strong liquors and get intoxicated whenever they bave au opportunity, Itis honorable to the zeal of the Catholic pricate that they have a missionary, who, notwithstanding the low rank ef these people in the scale of humanity, the wide territory over which they are scattered, and the thick forests which it is necexsary to penetrave to reach them and the absence of all roads, while ferocious wild beasts are thick at every step, is laboring among them and makes hishome with them.

Not so Bridget Glyn, a peor Irishwoman, who had her four little ebildren with her—the youngest a babe. Bridget knew what to do in the water; and she saved all her children, even though a boat ran one down, and all went under repeatedly duriag the time that elapsed before they were picked up. She saw the right moment for throwing them overboard, and for following them, she knew how to make them hold on so as to balance her, ag ebe held up the babe; she prevented them from struggling, and when they sank she knew where pe 4 would come up, and seized them by the air.

They bad a lot of lunces made atSan Diego, not Jong since, and are openly engaged in procuring arms and amanition.

More Sitver Mines.—The Los Angeles Sia learns tbat another silver mine, said to be of extraordinary richness, has lately been discovered in that section of the State. The location is in the vicinity of Bear Valley, about one ban dred miles from that place. A party had lef! Los Augeles to examine tbe mine, with the intention of investing in the enterprise. Considerable attention, adds the Star, seems to be giv en to the mining interest of our district, aud we bave reason to believe that the various leads are well worth the attention of capitalists, aud that they will be worked to great advantage. Between our silver aod go!d mines, we hope soon to have a large population profitably ewployed in mining operations. A Fremont Reric.—A gentleman of Calave ras county, recently returned from Carson Vulley, says that two miners, en route from Walker’s river to Genoa, just before crossing the south western boundary of Carson Valley. dis covered a cannon—a small U.S, bowitzer, Its presence ip that recluded quarter can only be accounted for upon the presumption that it is the gun mentioned in Fremout's Narative, as having been abandoned by bim in that neighborhood. in January 1846, when he wae preparing for the passage of the Sierra Nevadas, LYNCHING aT Minnesota.—At Minnesota, Sierra county, on Sunday week, a Man was arrested on suspicion of having stolen $200 from a Mr. Ferren.

On the contrary, the richest nations in the world are those who labor the hardest for their property ; whilst the rest are those who make money without an effort and spend it without a thought, It is a popular error to suppose that our country will be worthless when the mines are worked out (if haply that time ever comes). The gold which we labor to produce does not stop at home to enrich us, but diffuses itself all over the world, leavi little to the producer but the transitory satisfaction of counting out the pieces. We shall never grow rich until ne pursuits receive patronage and encout, so that the money we spend for necessaries and luxuries may be told out to our home manufacturers and workers. d It is a great mistake to argue that this country is only fit for fortune hunters and speculators to tarry in, and that every man who is not averaging more than a dollar a & should return to the Atlantic States. If we make as much money per month here as we could in the Atlantic States, we have still one advantage which they have not there, viz: the best climate in the world. It is not true that our soil is worthless, (as most western people will have it,) 7 because it refuses to grow Indian corn. It will produce most excellent grapes, and one acre of vineyard is more valuable than twenty acres of corn. : It a false notion (still too prevalent in the mines) that gambling is profitable, and that whiskey and . strychnine liquids are healthy, merely because the There is an old proverb that “A rolling stone gathers no moss;” and sadly as it has been treated by Californians, it is nevertheless sound philosophy now and forever.—San Andreas Independent. Burnep To Dearu.—We learn from the Trinity Journal, that about nine o'clock, on the night of November 24th, the dwelling house of P, T. Tuthill, half a mile below Weaverville, was discovered on fire, and consumed before assistance could be had. The house was oceupied by Omar Morton and family. Mr. Morton had left the house for a short time, leaving Mrs. Morton and a little daughter of Daniel Osgood, four years old, alone, The first persons who arrived at the house found the little girl some distance away, and across the gulch near by. Search was made for Mrs. Morton, but her charred remains were only discovered after the building was entirely consumed. How the fire commenced, or how the little girl en is all a mystery. She says she ran out of the burning building, and knows nothing of Mrs. Morton. Her feet and clothes were slightly burned, and her face covered with soot or some other substance, showing that she must have had a narrow escape. Mrs. Morton had resided in Trinity county four years, and came there from Humboldt county, Cave ora TunnEL—Two MEN BURIED ALIVE, —We learn just before going to press on Saturday evening, that the tunnel of Messrs. Smith & Sparks main quartz ledge caved on Saturday afternoon, hopelessly burying two men alive. The main tunnel runs into the mountain some nine hundred feet; from this main tunnel a shaft was sunk forty feet, and the men were at work in a drift from the shaft. The shaft was kept dry by an engine stationed in the main tunnel. Some seventy-five feet of the main tunnel caved, burying the engine, and filling up the shaft. The men at the engine had barely time to give the alarm and make their escape, portions of the debris striking some of them as they fled. To reach the shaft would require a clearing of the tunnel for a distance of seventy-five fect. As the engine was constantly employed to keep the shaft dry, it is supposed that the men were drowned in the drift. We did not learn their names, nor what steps had been taken towards their rescue.—Butte Record. A Mystery.—A writer in the San Francisco Telegram, of Nov. 28th, says: It will be recollected by many of your readers, that some months since the dead body of aman was found in the bay near one of our wharves; and an inquest held thereon by the Coroner, and the body . identified as that of Mr. Amos Haskins, of New Bedford, Mass. The body was buried for his, and the bill of expenses forwarded to his wife for payment; also, a meeting of the friends of Mr. Haskins . took place in New Bedford, whereat resolutions of condolence with the wife and family of the deceased were passed. You can well judge of the rglief and surprise of his wife and friends on the 6h day of . last month, to see the veritable Amos Haskins walk into his house in New Bedford, having returned by way of New York on the clipper ship Lookout, in go d health and condition, the first he had heard of his death was on his way from New York, Who the party buried for Mr, Haskins 1s, remains a mystery. SENSIBLE TO THE Last.—There was one really amusing incident, says the Shasta Courier, that occurred on the ground of the Miller-Gallagher duel. It will be remembered that at the Broderick-Terry gold coin from his principal’s pocket, he threw it upon the ground. Remembering this incident, and being of a rather utilitarian turn of mind, Judge Miller, when he passed his loose change, some eighty dollars in gold, over to the hands of William A. . Nunally, who was present as the mutual friend of . both parties, very quietly remarked, ‘ Now Bill, . don’t make a d—d fool of yourself, like Benham, and throw that money away.” If we were not aware . of the fact. adds the Courier, that the Judge never . drinks, we would naturally infer that, by a rapid . process of mental figuring, he had upon his mind a tolerably exact idea of the number of champagne . cocktails that eighty dollars would purchase. Curnese Evipence.—We are led to the belief . that Chinese testimony, even in the trial of their . own countrymen, is not worth a continental ard . should not be taken. The Chinamen sworn as wit. were sworn by the Chinese and some by the Ame. rican form of oath, would have convicted any body . by their evidence. Their minds were seemingly . made to answer any question to the prisoner’s det. riment. A Chinaman has no idea of the real nature . or sacredness of the oath he takes, and our opinion is that in answering questions they lose sight of the . . oath entirely, and do not scruple to swear falsely . see bim. when their object is to convict a countryman of an . opposing party.—Trinity Journal.

Polk at once ordered bis name to be placed on the list for appointment, and it was done; but Marey, thea Seeretary of War, apon examination usual in such cases, found that he was below the requisite age to enter the Academy, and the rules of the War Department were too imperative to be changed, and his name was not, for that reason sent to the Senate. Polk, however, placed on the files of the War Department a letter noder bis own band detailing the circumstances, and requesting his successor, whoever be might be, to appoint’ young Clay, who in the first year of the then next Adminis tration, would be of sufficinet age, Taylor, a political friend of Clay, proved to be his succes sor, The list of cadets is usually made out b the Secretary of War and corrected by the President, and in making up the list under Taylor’s Administration, Crawford, his Secretary of War, placed young Clay's name at the head of the list. Taylor, when be came to review the list, struck out the name with bis own hand, and refused to appoint him, This strange act was never forgotten nor forgiven by Henry Clay, and it is believed both parties died without any change in their relations, When Taylor’s death was announced in the Senate, and Webster, Cass and others pronouneed eulogies upou bis character, Clay, on being beckoned to rise, waved his hand significantly, and remained silent, Wuat THKY THINK OF GREKLKY IN THE CHRRokgé Nation.—-It is well Known that the Cherokees own slaves, What they thiok of the Abolitionists may be inferred from the following letier which Sequoyah, a Cherokee, writes to the Arkausian ; The Times, of Fort Smith thinks that there is uot much danger of old Horace Greley visiting the Cherokees, and that there is not much danger iu bim in these parts, bad as they allow him and his emissaries to be.

If they plant rice, it is only enough ta meet their absolute wants. Instead of regular labor they prefer the fatiguing adventures of the chase, and ranning along the woods, Their cuisine is of the lowest order, their favorite dish being slices of meat balf-cooked and still reeking with blood, _ Their weddings are preceded by a most sine gular and ludierous ceremony, An old mag presents the future busband and wife to a large pareve ie of invited guests, whom he conducts followed their respeotive families, into a grand circle, around whieb the young lady, the bride, sets out running upoo ll, fours, and the young man, who is the bridegroom, in the same style after her, Ifbe succeeds in overtakin ber she becomes bis wife, if not, he forfeits al his rights, and “love's labor is lost’? This often happens wheo the bridegroom fails of pleas: ing the young lady, who endeavors to escape from the embraces of a distasteful or odious husband by beating him in this queer trotting match, Upon the death of one of their number, they wrap his body ina white winding-sheet, aud then deposit it in a grave dug near bis hut, and sometimes iv an erect position, sometimes sitting, and sometimes lying down, They are careful to put a lance at bis side, a “paring” anda “sumpitan,”’ their instruments of war and bunting, but never use any religious ceremony. Still. these weapons placed by the side of the corpse indicate a shadowy belief iu» fur ture existence, Their religion is a confused maga of the grosaest superstitions, propagated by the “Payane,”’ a kind of priests, who are half physicians and half jugglers. Their magical science isin great esteem with the Malays. The singular kind of +life they lead, the pecaliarity of their costume, andthe long intervals of their appearance among the people, secure for them a certain prestige and respect, Seen from afar and tbrough a mysterious veil, they pass for beings endowed with superbuman power, from whom the plants and roots of the forest have recuived their most searet virtues, Ina word, they are believed to bold ia their hands the power of conferring health or inflicting death, In accordance with thie belief, the Malays are careful vot to provoke their ill-will, Naturally the Jakoons are of au open and ingenuous disposition, and withal inclined to gaiety, Tothe appearance of timidity tbey join the independenee of life without control, epent in the midet of thick forests, and everlasting verdure, Rerpectfal without being rervile, in eonversation they uve an abrubt aod violent toue of voice, which strongly contrasts with their habitual gentleness and modesty.

Not so Bridget Glyn, a peor Irishwoman, who had her four little ebildren with her—the youngest a babe. Bridget knew what to do in the water; and she saved all her children, even though a boat ran one down, and all went under repeatedly duriag the time that elapsed before they were picked up. She saw the right moment for throwing them overboard, and for following them, she knew how to make them hold on so as to balance her, ag ebe held up the babe; she prevented them from struggling, and when they sank she knew where pe 4 would come up, and seized them by the air.
