Besides their usual arms, each one carried several pieces of wood, which he had received from the girl. She had carried woed to the rock on the preceding day, which she had helped to gather in the forest. Believing she was to be elevated to high rank, her ideas being of the most pleasing character, the poor girl advanced to the alter with rapturous . feelings of joy and timidity which would naturally be raised in the boxom of a young female of her age. As the procession proceeded, which . occupied some time, savage music accompanied them, aud chante, invoking the interveation of their Manitou, that the Great Spirit would prosper their enterprise; 0 that, being excited by . the music aud danoing, the deceitful delusion . uuder which she had been kept remained until the last moment. But as soon as ee . had reach. ed the place of sacrifiee, where nothing was to be seen but-fires, torches, and instruments of torture, her ¢yes were opened, her tate was revealed to her, and she became aware of ber horrible destiny, as she bad often heard of the mysterious sacrifices of the Copper Rock. What must have been her feelings! how great her surprise! how terrible the change! when she /no longer had any doubt of their intentions! . . Who could describe the terrible horror of the . . moment! Her cries resounded through the for. . est, but neither tears nor intreaties prevailed. She conjured the stera wariors who surrounded her to have pity ou her youth and her innocence; but all in vain—the Indian priests coolly proceeded with the horrid ceremonies. Nothing . . could prevail against their superstition and the . horrid demands of the copper monster, which . called for a human sacrifice. She was tied with withes to the top of the rock. The fire was gradually applied to her with torches made of the wood which she had with her own hands distributed to the wariors. When exhausted with her cries, and about expiring, her tormenters opened the circle that had surrounded her, and the great chief shot an arrow into her heart, which was followed by the spears and arrows of his followers, and the blood poured down the glistening sides of the rock in streams. Their weapons were sprinkled with her blood to make them invincible; and all retired to their cabins cheered and encouraged with the hope of a glorious victory.” In the year 1811 Mr. J. Eldred purchased this copper rock of the chief of the Ontonagon tribe, for the sum of $150, with the intention of exhibting it as a great natural and historical curosity, in this country and Europe. After a great deal of treuble he succeeded, in 1844 in removing it to the shore of Lake Superior, where it was claimed by Gen. Cunningham as the property of the United States, It appears that in 1843 the Secretary of War bad written to Gen. Cunningham to take possession of the copper rock, and to have it shipped to the Sault, thenee to be taken on board the revenue cutter on Lake Erie. It was finally agreed between Cunningham and Eldred that the latter should remove the rock to Detroit, and deliver it up to the government officers, when he should be paid for all his trouble. This was accordingly done, and the celebrated copper rock of Ontonagon, . the idol Manitou of the Ontonagon Indians, fi. coe ie sosivenci sir ae _. nally removed by government to this city, and .

J. MILLER, & 00. November 10th 1857,—7-4w asylum, utterly deranged, as was said, by his unparalleled prosperity. in business. During the year previous his firm had cleared $1,300,000. He died in the asylum and his own estate was valued at $2,500,000, all invested in the concern of which he was a partner, The firm . iteelf failed the ether day and is now said to be insolvent. ed’s was a thousand shares of the Illinois Central Railroad stock, which was selling at the time of his decease at $140 a share, and which was worth, after paying up the installments, $800.000. The same property sold yesterday HE RANCH OF D, Q. ADAMS, ON North Wolf Creek, two miles South of Nevada, and one and a half miles east of Grass Valley, is offered for sale on reasonable terms.

The erew, after setting the lamps, and managing to obtain two hams and four cans of preserved meats, lashed themselves in the rigging, and in this way the first night was spent— Capt. Perkins helding the boy, and his wife the infant. The next day the gale moderated. The water being warm, they did not suffer from cold, but ‘the boy was very thirsty. In this condition they remained until the fifth day, when they were rescued from their perrilous condition by the brig Altevella, They were all destitute, and most of them had sore limbs and boile, caused by the hardships to which they had been exposed. The Jerome Knight was valued at $11.000, and was fully insured in Boston,—Boston Journal. Sucn tue Inroxicatine Bown.—The fate of the gifted Haskell of Tennessee, should bea warning to all young men. He paseed through Louisville last week, in charge of his friends, on his way to the Lunatic Asylum at Lexington. While on the Frankfort care he arose, and in the most eloquent and pathetic terms appealed te the gallant Kentuckians, ameng whom he was, to protect bim from the relentless enemies he imagined were pursuing him. He became so excited and violent that his friends were forced to confine him. The career of this gifted but unfortunate son of genius should be known for the lesson whieh it teaches. From his earliest boyhood, says the Nashville Banner, he has shown himself possessed of the highest order of talent. While at college he distinguished himself asa poet ard an orator. His graduating speech is mobos ef by those who heard it as worthy of the immortal Prentiss in bis palmiest days. He served his country on the battle field and in the balls of Congress. It was his residence at Washington that confirmed upon him those unfertunate habits which finally blasted . his intellect. He at one time broke the fiery serpent from his hands and dashed it to the earth, To make his own reformation complete, and aid in lifting up others who bad fallen like himself, he went through the State lecturing on temperance. The tour was an eminently successful and brilliant one, his lectures being fully equal to those of Gough, whose eloquence has electrified thou. sands in this country and in England. But his . old habits gained the mastery of him again, and his subsequent life has been but a fearful struggle between his appetites and his ambition—a . She with her . Chandler Robinson, were severely injured, Nov. children were placed upon the house and lashed . dred feet of ground and $100,000 damages, The plaintiff first located the ground, but, as the defence contend, took up more than they could legally hold. The defendants jumped or took up the ground now in-dispute. . ; Serrovs Accrppxt.—At St. Louis, in Sierra county, two miners, named Charles Fraler and 9th, as they were being turned up. by horse power from a shaft.’ The rope broke and they fell a distance of forty feet. Fraler was bruised about the neck and sboulders, and the smaller bone of the left arm broken, Robinson had his right leg broken, and was otherwise somewhat injured by the fall. Cenrrat AMertca’s Passencrrs,— The report, taken frem the New Orleans papers, that forty of the passehgérs of the Central Amtrica had been detained in Havana, is received with but little credence. The time which has elansed, and the indefinite manner in which the information is conveyed, is pretty good evidence that it is but an idle rumor, Parsrcr. Accipgent.—Mr. Thomas Hawkins, of San Francisco, while riding to the Mission, afew days ago, had his hand lying over the lower window frame of the omnibus, when a passenger in climbing to the tep of the stage, stepped upon his hand and broke three of bis fingers. Coniston at San Francrsco.—The steamer Commodore, while coming into the harber of San Francisco, en the night of Nov. 14th, run into the steamer Orizaba with great foree. It was at first feared, eays the Call, that the latter would swamp, but her staunch timbers saved her. Deatn oF A SacrameNntan.—Cornelius Trehune, formerly a merchant on K street, was so badly injured by being thrown from a buggy, in New York city, recently, that he died the day after the accident occurred. Tue Orovitie Porsonne Case.—Dr. Sudor, the druggist in Oroville, who put up poison by mistake for medicine, thus causing the death of Mrs. Blumenthal, has been held to answer to the charge of inveluntary manslaughter. Merropouiran TueatTer.—It is reported today, that the owners of the Metropolitan Theater, San Francieeo, are about altering and rebuilding that place of amusement, Caruonic Orpnan Asyium.—The proceeds of the late Ladies’ Fair at San Francisco, in behalf of this institution, netted over $8000. Tuwatricat.—Mr. and Mrs. J, Wallack, Jr., . will visit this State in February next. SHALL IT BE THLEGRAM-—A cotemporary hay. iug recently used the word Telegram, to express struggle in which it must be confessed, his appetites have generally triumphed. So great, indeed, was his craving for artificial stimulants that even while delivering his temperance lectures, he made use of drugs sufficient in quantity and potentcy to burn out the vitals of an ordinary man. There was no subject whether . ancient or modern, grave or gay, upon which . . he did net converse with fluency and eloquence. . He passed, with the most careless ease, from the profoundest disquisition upon the doctrines of the Bible, the religion of Confucius, or the Baconian philosophy. to the lightest literature of the day. Deatu or G. W. P. Custis.—George Washing. ton Park Custis, the last surviving member of . the Washington family, died at Arlington, Va., on the 10th ult. The Alexandria Gazette says of him; “The whole country knew him—and his pat. riotism will long be remembered. Closely allied to the Washington family, fond of calling himself the child of Mount Vernon, he was never so much in his element as when he was talking or writing of the Great Chief, and the men and times of the Revolution. Ashe said of himeelf once, ‘his was the destiny of no comat public sale at $50,000.

That we need a new word for the urpose indieated, will readily be conceded, Ito call the message simply a Telegraph, would be absurd; that being the name of the instrument by means of which it is transmitted, and not the act accomplished, or end attained by . the act. The term Telegraphic Dispateh, is clam. sy, inconvenient, and as a definition, incorrect; a Dispatch literally meaning a letter, or packet of letters sent on some matter of public moment, Telegram is » short word—classical, barmoenious, and significant; embodying the meaning ef the two original words of which it is . composed: viz. the Greek fale, at a distance, and grapho, to write; meaning a message written at a distance or communicated from afar. The ehange of grapho, to write, into gram, a writing, it will be seen, accords with the rules of etymology and the genius of our language. For in. stance, from the Greek prefix dia, through or about, and grapho, to write, comes the word diagram; and so of many otbers in like manner constructed. The word Telegram then, could be framed from its two roots, with entire propriety; and unless a better be suggested, we vote for receiving it as the lingual representative of the new idea, and for its ultimate incorporation inte our vocabulary.—sS.

Besides their usual arms, each one carried several pieces of wood, which he had received from the girl. She had carried woed to the rock on the preceding day, which she had helped to gather in the forest. Believing she was to be elevated to high rank, her ideas being of the most pleasing character, the poor girl advanced to the alter with rapturous . feelings of joy and timidity which would naturally be raised in the boxom of a young female of her age. As the procession proceeded, which . occupied some time, savage music accompanied them, aud chante, invoking the interveation of their Manitou, that the Great Spirit would prosper their enterprise; 0 that, being excited by . the music aud danoing, the deceitful delusion . uuder which she had been kept remained until the last moment. But as soon as ee . had reach. ed the place of sacrifiee, where nothing was to be seen but-fires, torches, and instruments of torture, her ¢yes were opened, her tate was revealed to her, and she became aware of ber horrible destiny, as she bad often heard of the mysterious sacrifices of the Copper Rock. What must have been her feelings! how great her surprise! how terrible the change! when she /no longer had any doubt of their intentions! . . Who could describe the terrible horror of the . . moment! Her cries resounded through the for. . est, but neither tears nor intreaties prevailed. She conjured the stera wariors who surrounded her to have pity ou her youth and her innocence; but all in vain—the Indian priests coolly proceeded with the horrid ceremonies. Nothing . . could prevail against their superstition and the . horrid demands of the copper monster, which . called for a human sacrifice. She was tied with withes to the top of the rock. The fire was gradually applied to her with torches made of the wood which she had with her own hands distributed to the wariors. When exhausted with her cries, and about expiring, her tormenters opened the circle that had surrounded her, and the great chief shot an arrow into her heart, which was followed by the spears and arrows of his followers, and the blood poured down the glistening sides of the rock in streams. Their weapons were sprinkled with her blood to make them invincible; and all retired to their cabins cheered and encouraged with the hope of a glorious victory.” In the year 1811 Mr. J. Eldred purchased this copper rock of the chief of the Ontonagon tribe, for the sum of $150, with the intention of exhibting it as a great natural and historical curosity, in this country and Europe. After a great deal of treuble he succeeded, in 1844 in removing it to the shore of Lake Superior, where it was claimed by Gen. Cunningham as the property of the United States, It appears that in 1843 the Secretary of War bad written to Gen. Cunningham to take possession of the copper rock, and to have it shipped to the Sault, thenee to be taken on board the revenue cutter on Lake Erie. It was finally agreed between Cunningham and Eldred that the latter should remove the rock to Detroit, and deliver it up to the government officers, when he should be paid for all his trouble. This was accordingly done, and the celebrated copper rock of Ontonagon, . the idol Manitou of the Ontonagon Indians, fi. coe ie sosivenci sir ae _. nally removed by government to this city, and .

He paseed through Louisville last week, in charge of his friends, on his way to the Lunatic Asylum at Lexington. While on the Frankfort care he arose, and in the most eloquent and pathetic terms appealed te the gallant Kentuckians, ameng whom he was, to protect bim from the relentless enemies he imagined were pursuing him. He became so excited and violent that his friends were forced to confine him. The career of this gifted but unfortunate son of genius should be known for the lesson whieh it teaches. From his earliest boyhood, says the Nashville Banner, he has shown himself possessed of the highest order of talent. While at college he distinguished himself asa poet ard an orator. His graduating speech is mobos ef by those who heard it as worthy of the immortal Prentiss in bis palmiest days. He served his country on the battle field and in the balls of Congress. It was his residence at Washington that confirmed upon him those unfertunate habits which finally blasted . his intellect. He at one time broke the fiery serpent from his hands and dashed it to the earth, To make his own reformation complete, and aid in lifting up others who bad fallen like himself, he went through the State lecturing on temperance. The tour was an eminently successful and brilliant one, his lectures being fully equal to those of Gough, whose eloquence has electrified thou. sands in this country and in England. But his . old habits gained the mastery of him again, and his subsequent life has been but a fearful struggle between his appetites and his ambition—a . She with her .

That we need a new word for the urpose indieated, will readily be conceded, Ito call the message simply a Telegraph, would be absurd; that being the name of the instrument by means of which it is transmitted, and not the act accomplished, or end attained by . the act. The term Telegraphic Dispateh, is clam. sy, inconvenient, and as a definition, incorrect; a Dispatch literally meaning a letter, or packet of letters sent on some matter of public moment, Telegram is » short word—classical, barmoenious, and significant; embodying the meaning ef the two original words of which it is . composed: viz. the Greek fale, at a distance, and grapho, to write; meaning a message written at a distance or communicated from afar. The ehange of grapho, to write, into gram, a writing, it will be seen, accords with the rules of etymology and the genius of our language. For in. stance, from the Greek prefix dia, through or about, and grapho, to write, comes the word diagram; and so of many otbers in like manner constructed. The word Telegram then, could be framed from its two roots, with entire propriety; and unless a better be suggested, we vote for receiving it as the lingual representative of the new idea, and for its ultimate incorporation inte our vocabulary.—sS.
