LANCASTER, Nevada, Aug. 20, 1856.—46-tf gz. = NOVICE TO TEAMSTERS. The City of Mexico. Mexico in its prominent aspects, is a striking and attractive capital. Its architecture, particularly its churches and public edifices, cannot fail to impress the stranger. Its spacious streets; its open plaza, flanked on one side by . the cathedral, on the other by the ample pro. portioned palace; its charming Almedo, with its . shady avenues and winding walks, together with . its far reaching, smoothly graded passo, where beauty and chivalry daily meet vieing with each other in richness of dispiay and genuine courtesy, are almost inviting and promising. But Mexico is not an industrial city. Its thoroughfares are ever thronged from early . dawn, where crowds are seen of aged matrons . . and charming sevoritas wending their way to matins, and through the whole day with a dense . population; but it is not the stirring multitude The moth Cave of Europe. The following description of this great curiosity is from a private letter, written bya gentleman who went to Pesth last summer with engines for the steamers of the Danube Steam Navigation Company. Rosenau is near the Carpathian mountains: “From Rosenau we made an excursion to Abxoick, where there is a cave said to be the largest in Europe. As yet it is but little known. About 8} p. m. we entered it with three guides. The entrauce is from @ valley. into the side of a hill, which is there bold and. recky. From the mouth we proceeded through a passage six fect by nine, descending about ten degrees for 100 yards, when we suddenly found ourselves ina . spacious hall 130 feet wide by 70 or 80 in height. which characterizes our Atlantic cities.

This makes a legitimate ‘lobby, and there it must stop, or this government will soon be as corrupt and rotten as Sodom.” Tuk Mysteries oF New York.—The New York correspondent of the Charleston Courer, gives a long account of a most strange story A beloved and elderly pastor of one of the New York city churches was catled upou one night by a man who requested bim to go and christen two of his children. He promptly complied. As he was returning home he was accosted by a person who called him by name and accused him of issuing from a house of ifl-fame! Money was demanded of him, and in default of paying it he was threatened with exposure. The clergyman which he alledges to be strictly true, . took no notice of it for awhile; but his steps . were dogged perpetually, till finally it began He told no one, but leftand Europe, thiaking thereby to escape But he was mistaken, He resigned his charge, to the astonishment of his parishioners, who could not comprehend the reason, He went to a country village, was still pursued, and it is believed that dreading the effects of such reports. false though they were, he actually paid bush money. Finally the rascals were arrested for some other villainy, when this whole affair came out, and the clergyman came back to hischureh.

A Fact ror Sprrirvanists.—Dr Lardner, the divine, mentions an account by Damascius of a battle fought near Rome with the Seythians, commanded by Attila, in the time of Valentinia the third, who succeeded Honorious, in the year 425, where the slaughter on both sides was so great that none on either side escaped, except the generals and a few of their attendants; and which is very strange, when the bodies were fallen, the sonls still stood upright. and still continued fighting three whole days and nights, nothing inferior to living men, either for the activity of their hands or the firceness of their ininds. The images of the souls, therefore, were both seen and heard, fighting together and clashing with their armor. Damascius, moreover, endeavors to confirm the truth of this by other relations of a like kind, Tue Post Orrce In THE RuraL Distriers,— A countryman went to the Lowell post oflice with a bank bill for a dollar’s worth of postage stamps; the clerk wanted specie, and he straightbeing also denied admittance, except at a disper position.

Vicrantes at THE East.—The Louisville Journal says : The efforts of the Vigilance Committee in Calfornia to obtain an amnesty from the Legislature for their past offences have proved altogether fruitless. An overwhelming majority of both branches of the California Legislature unite in virtually condemning the Committee. This is right and proper. It is due not only to the dignity of the law but to the best interests of society. It was the perfection of absurdit to think of asking the sanction of law for suc an outrageous anomaly as the Vigilauce Committee. ~ : ren eae eS a EG ~ A Great Entexprise. The project of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien has long beea entertained by the leading minds of the world, and the construction of this vast work is now but a question of time. Congress has appropriated a sum amply sufficient for the tharodge sutvey and eaploration of the proposed route, and a corps of army engineers with appropriate assistance will soou be detailed for the service, Thus has the United States taken initiatory steps in one of the most Maguificent ideas of modern times. Napoleon iu his expedition to Egypt, discovered the site of an ancient canal across the Isthmus of Suez, aud uis engipeers by survey estimated the cost of reopening the work, but it never was accomplished. Our readers will remember the terrible sufferings of Lieutenant Straiu and his companions, who endeavored to cross the Isthmus of Darien on a prelimiuary recounoisance by order of our Government, trust the expedition now about to commence operations will be able to avoid disaster. A few details in relation to the scene of operations may be interesting to our readers. The Isthmus of Darien, or, as itis more commonly styled, the Isthmus ef Panama, connects . North aud South America, and is principally comprised in the Republic of Granada, On the northern side is the Carribbean sea and the Gulf ot Darien; on the south the Gulf of Panama. Ia length the Isthmus proper is about 200 miles, with av average breadth of 40 miles; butiu longitude 79 deg. it narrows down to Jess than 30 miles, At this point it is proposed to establish the ship canal. The country is undulating, with chains of smail mountains, but very fertile and . well timbered, The expense of a commodious ship canal, say thirty miles long and two hundred fret wide, would not be less than fifty millions of dollars. England, France and Holland are anxious to aid in the work, and become joint owners with the United States, When it is considered that one half of the world’s commerce would in all probability pass through this canal, the expense sinks into a mere trifle. Al the Iidia ad China trade, instead of doubling Cape Horn, would find passage through the canal. It shouid be free to all nations who assist in the constriction by money or eredit. The »ppropriation alluded to was embraced in the uaval appropriation bill, not to -xeeed $25,000, to be paid to officers selected . y the Secretaries of War and Navy, “for the purpose of making explorations and verifications of the surveys already made of a ship caval icar the Isthmus of Darica, to connect the waters of the Pacific aud the Atlantic by the Atrato and Truando rivers.”’ Mr. Bocock, a member of the committee of conference on the part of (he House of Representatives, explained this provision, inserted by the Seuate, in brief but forcible terms, Tle stated that the Government of Granada had givea a company of Amerieaus the right co explore and build a ship canal if practicable, through the Isthmus of Darien, They have made the survey and believe a ehip canal to be altogether practicable; but they had come to the conclusion that capitalists will not . invest in this exploration unless it be endorsed hy competent ollicers of the Government. They merely ask that their exploration shall be tested hy officers of the army ana navy. The House coneurred in the proposition of the Senate. Mysterious Disappmarance.—We learn from the Bulletin that, about a month or six weeks ago, two young meu, said to be brothers, enpaged in the manufacture of fire-proof safes, ou the corner of Sacramento and Mason streets, mysteriously disappeared from their place of business, and since that time nothing has been geen or heard of them by their neighbors. They loft the workshop with all the material for carrying on the business, with the evident intention of returning immediately. The hummer is still lying on the anvil, the files, drills, punches, aud other instruments of Uicir trades are on the benches, and a safe ip a pletion occupies the floor, The key of the safe is in the lock, as though having been just fitted while, scattered around, are rivets, screws, and tools of various kiuds, together with sheet and bar iron and stecl—everything indicating that the absence of the owners was intended to be only temporary, The upper rooms of the house are entirely empty, although itis said themen slept there. The anvil, bellows and vices, of which last there are two, in fact all the tools are eutirely new.

It is however, known that they were in the habit of going gunning on the bay on Sundays, but whether they have perished on one of these excursions, or lost their lives by some of the foul means so often employed in this city, is left to conjecture. That they have passed to “that bourne from whenee no traveler returns,’’ there can be no doubt.

Its architecture, particularly its churches and public edifices, cannot fail to impress the stranger. Its spacious streets; its open plaza, flanked on one side by . the cathedral, on the other by the ample pro. portioned palace; its charming Almedo, with its . shady avenues and winding walks, together with . its far reaching, smoothly graded passo, where beauty and chivalry daily meet vieing with each other in richness of dispiay and genuine courtesy, are almost inviting and promising. But Mexico is not an industrial city. Its thoroughfares are ever thronged from early . dawn, where crowds are seen of aged matrons . . and charming sevoritas wending their way to matins, and through the whole day with a dense . population; but it is not the stirring multitude The moth Cave of Europe. The following description of this great curiosity is from a private letter, written bya gentleman who went to Pesth last summer with engines for the steamers of the Danube Steam Navigation Company. Rosenau is near the Carpathian mountains: “From Rosenau we made an excursion to Abxoick, where there is a cave said to be the largest in Europe. As yet it is but little known.

He promptly complied. As he was returning home he was accosted by a person who called him by name and accused him of issuing from a house of ifl-fame! Money was demanded of him, and in default of paying it he was threatened with exposure. The clergyman which he alledges to be strictly true, . took no notice of it for awhile; but his steps . were dogged perpetually, till finally it began He told no one, but leftand Europe, thiaking thereby to escape But he was mistaken, He resigned his charge, to the astonishment of his parishioners, who could not comprehend the reason, He went to a country village, was still pursued, and it is believed that dreading the effects of such reports. false though they were, he actually paid bush money. Finally the rascals were arrested for some other villainy, when this whole affair came out, and the clergyman came back to hischureh. It is incredible that a pastor should cower to such scouu Irels. to wear upon him. went to from his tormentors. A Fact ror Sprrirvanists.—Dr Lardner, the divine, mentions an account by Damascius of a battle fought near Rome with the Seythians, commanded by Attila, in the time of Valentinia the third, who succeeded Honorious, in the year 425, where the slaughter on both sides was so great that none on either side escaped, except the generals and a few of their attendants; and which is very strange, when the bodies were fallen, the sonls still stood upright. and still continued fighting three whole days and nights, nothing inferior to living men, either for the activity of their hands or the firceness of their ininds. The images of the souls, therefore, were both seen and heard, fighting together and clashing with their armor. Damascius, moreover, endeavors to confirm the truth of this by other relations of a like kind, Tue Post Orrce In THE RuraL Distriers,— A countryman went to the Lowell post oflice with a bank bill for a dollar’s worth of postage stamps; the clerk wanted specie, and he straightbeing also denied admittance, except at a disper position.

Vicrantes at THE East.—The Louisville Journal says : The efforts of the Vigilance Committee in Calfornia to obtain an amnesty from the Legislature for their past offences have proved altogether fruitless. An overwhelming majority of both branches of the California Legislature unite in virtually condemning the Committee. This is right and proper. It is due not only to the dignity of the law but to the best interests of society. It was the perfection of absurdit to think of asking the sanction of law for suc an outrageous anomaly as the Vigilauce Committee. ~ : ren eae eS a EG ~ A Great Entexprise. The project of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien has long beea entertained by the leading minds of the world, and the construction of this vast work is now but a question of time. Congress has appropriated a sum amply sufficient for the tharodge sutvey and eaploration of the proposed route, and a corps of army engineers with appropriate assistance will soou be detailed for the service, Thus has the United States taken initiatory steps in one of the most Maguificent ideas of modern times. Napoleon iu his expedition to Egypt, discovered the site of an ancient canal across the Isthmus of Suez, aud uis engipeers by survey estimated the cost of reopening the work, but it never was accomplished. Our readers will remember the terrible sufferings of Lieutenant Straiu and his companions, who endeavored to cross the Isthmus of Darien on a prelimiuary recounoisance by order of our Government, trust the expedition now about to commence operations will be able to avoid disaster. A few details in relation to the scene of operations may be interesting to our readers. The Isthmus of Darien, or, as itis more commonly styled, the Isthmus ef Panama, connects . North aud South America, and is principally comprised in the Republic of Granada, On the northern side is the Carribbean sea and the Gulf ot Darien; on the south the Gulf of Panama. Ia length the Isthmus proper is about 200 miles, with av average breadth of 40 miles; butiu longitude 79 deg. it narrows down to Jess than 30 miles, At this point it is proposed to establish the ship canal. The country is undulating, with chains of smail mountains, but very fertile and . well timbered, The expense of a commodious ship canal, say thirty miles long and two hundred fret wide, would not be less than fifty millions of dollars. England, France and Holland are anxious to aid in the work, and become joint owners with the United States, When it is considered that one half of the world’s commerce would in all probability pass through this canal, the expense sinks into a mere trifle. Al the Iidia ad China trade, instead of doubling Cape Horn, would find passage through the canal. It shouid be free to all nations who assist in the constriction by money or eredit. The »ppropriation alluded to was embraced in the uaval appropriation bill, not to -xeeed $25,000, to be paid to officers selected . y the Secretaries of War and Navy, “for the purpose of making explorations and verifications of the surveys already made of a ship caval icar the Isthmus of Darica, to connect the waters of the Pacific aud the Atlantic by the Atrato and Truando rivers.”’ Mr. Bocock, a member of the committee of conference on the part of (he House of Representatives, explained this provision, inserted by the Seuate, in brief but forcible terms, Tle stated that the Government of Granada had givea a company of Amerieaus the right co explore and build a ship canal if practicable, through the Isthmus of Darien, They have made the survey and believe a ehip canal to be altogether practicable; but they had come to the conclusion that capitalists will not . invest in this exploration unless it be endorsed hy competent ollicers of the Government. They merely ask that their exploration shall be tested hy officers of the army ana navy. The House coneurred in the proposition of the Senate. Mysterious Disappmarance.—We learn from the Bulletin that, about a month or six weeks ago, two young meu, said to be brothers, enpaged in the manufacture of fire-proof safes, ou the corner of Sacramento and Mason streets, mysteriously disappeared from their place of business, and since that time nothing has been geen or heard of them by their neighbors. They loft the workshop with all the material for carrying on the business, with the evident intention of returning immediately. The hummer is still lying on the anvil, the files, drills, punches, aud other instruments of Uicir trades are on the benches, and a safe ip a pletion occupies the floor, The key of the safe is in the lock, as though having been just fitted while, scattered around, are rivets, screws, and tools of various kiuds, together with sheet and bar iron and stecl—everything indicating that the absence of the owners was intended to be only temporary, The upper rooms of the house are entirely empty, although itis said themen slept there. The anvil, bellows and vices, of which last there are two, in fact all the tools are eutirely new. The neighbors represent the disappeared persons as two very tndustrions men, They were frequently heard at work at 10 or LL o’elock at night. but no person seems to have been much acquainted with them. It is however, known that they were in the habit of going gunning on the bay on Sundays, but whether they have perished on one of these excursions, or lost their lives by some of the foul means so often employed in this city, is left to conjecture. That they have passed to “that bourne from whenee no traveler returns,’’ there can be no doubt. There is nothing in the house to indicate who the parties were, except a bill of safe castings from the Vulean Foundry, made ont to a Mr, Loffer, and bearing date March 14th 1857. Axotuer Carroenn.—The Hongkong Register, of March 3d, states that the river steamer Queen left that harbor oa ‘the 23d ult., with a number of first class Chinese passengers on board, Mr. Osmond Cleverly, Mr. Weir, avd several Portugese ond China women.

Mr, Cleverly, onrushing to the gangway. was chot thigh. At the same moment, Capt. Wynn received a cut on the head, standing bis wound, made desperate resistance, but finally threw himself overboard, and, after being an hour or more in the water, was picked np by a loreha, and taken to Maran, Tyee mie a after her capture, was brought into one of the branches of the river, where she was surrounded by a fleet of Mandarin junks. The government of Hongkong offered rewards for the appreheusion of the captors.
