Sacket, Secretary France and Madagascar. On the easterv coast of Africa, and defended like that continent by a climate fatal to the white race, ut least along the coast, lies the magnificent island of Madagascar, a strangely neglected but wonderfully rich field for the colonizing ambition of Europe. France has) glanced in that direction before, but it remained for the daring, far-sighted Napoleon to really . comprehend its grand capabilities, and grasp . them boldly, as an appendage of his prospective African empire. It is now quietly announced that this east island, a thousand miles . in length, and of twice the area of France, is, and has been for two centuries, French property. It bas a population of several millions . . vine will be read with interest : MANAGEMENT OF THE Ving.—Aslarge numbers. Stockton and Kansas City Mall Route. of our people are turning their attention to the grape, the following practical observations in. regard to the growth and management of the . In their native places of growth grapes grow . chiefly in different situations according to their different sections, The family the Catawba and . Isabella belong to generally grow in dry soils, . and under trees where the numerous roots leave . very little moisture, In practice this is found . to be an important point—for the Catawba, in fact, the soil can scarcely be too dry. The Isa. bella also prefers a dry soil, but will do well in a soil too damp to bring Catawbas to perfection. . of negroes, with a large eprivkling of strsight-. The section to whieh the Elsinborough belongs On the first instant another overland mail was to have been put in operation. The mail is to be carried from Stockton to Kansas City on the Missouri river, and the trips are to be made monthly. The contract has been given to Messrs. Barrow, Porter & Co., who receive $80,000 per annum, The route does not at any point extend further south than the 35th parallel of latitude, and the distance is but a little over two thousand miles. The Stockton Re« publican, in describing this route, says; The road passes from Stockton to Fort Tejon, thence due east—u ot bearing one hundred miles ee ey ee oe mere OS civilized ideas, .

ANCIENT aNp Moprern Exprres.—Blackwood’s Magazine, with all its conservative principles, mingled as they are with doctrines that are now regarded as politically effete, often condenses jnto brief space many interesting and historical matters, that are alike agreeable and . instructive to the general reader. Among these interesting papers, we find a reference to the magoitude of the Roman Empire and its military forces, and a comparison with similar . elements in modern kingdoms, According to the estimates before us, Russia surpasses Rome . in extent of territory, and contains an army . considerably more numerous, France and Aus. tria rank next to Russia in the number of their standing armies, and could bring singly in the field a much larger force than the whole Roman Empire. The military foree of the Pagan . Empire is bere estimated at 450,000 men; the ; Christian monarchies of France and Austria are cach of them reputed to maintain an army of 650,000, and whea we reflect upon the invention of gunpowder and the enormous force . of artillery, itis evident that any one of the first-rate powers of modern Europe could bring . into the field a destructive force that would . sweep from the face of the earth the thirty le. gious of Adrian. The very division of Europe into a number of states involves this increase of soldiery. In the old Roman great Mediterranean Sea lay as peaceful asa dread but the winds and the waves; whereas in modern Europe many quite artificial bounda ries bave to be guarded by an army of soldiers. Belgium defends ber flats with 100,000 men, and the marshes of Holland are secured by 60,}000 Dutch, Hitherto everything bas tended to develope the military power in Christendom. lep Acror.—The following odd announcement appears in the London Morning Advertiser : “We understand that Mr. Jobo Townsend, M. P. for Greenwich, bas been offered and accepted an engagement at one of the Metropoli. Mr. Townsend’s engagement is for 50 nights, . Though the fact is not generally kuown, Mr. Townsend has, on various occasions, represent. . }ed with decided success some of Shakespeare’s principal characters in furtherance of the cause of charity. In the present case he is to appear, we are told, on the histrionic boards for the sole purpose of assisting in the liquidation of! . the claims of bis ereditors—the only considcra. tion, we are assured, which could have induced . him to accept the offer made to him. As a preliminary step, he will at once resign his seat in the House of Commons, From Curva.—The ship Sea Nymph arrived }at San Francisco on Sunday night, from China, . bringing dates to August 28th. Peace had been proclaimed, but there seemed to be but) little confidence reposed in ite permanence. . Busiuess at Canton is dull. The American clipper ship Antelope, chartered by opium tra. . ders, and the English ships Lady Raglan and . Doubts are entertained as to the inten. late treaty between the Chinese and English and French, made at Tien-tsien. At Canton, . every preparation was being made by the Chinese for the resumption of trade. The merchants were opening their establishments, and the linguists bad received instructions to facili tate the discharge of ships waiting at Whampoa, The blockade, however, was stillon, and of; . course could not be taken off withoat the Ad . miral’s orders. . Kanaka vs. Curaman.--A free and fierce . scrimmage, the Butte Record says, occurred at . the Channel Rock Claim on Thursday last, be‘tween a party of Kanakas and some Chiuam7;, all of whom were employed on the claim. While . the parties were about equal in point of uum. bers, the Kanakas worked terrible havoc with . the celestials’ sconce boxes and olfactory or. vane, but upon being largely reinforced, the . Jobns gained so decided an adventage and were . . following it up with so much vigor that the in. terference of sone white men was induced and ; the parties eventually separated. The bellige. rants were all arrested. Lance Eaore.—On Tuesday last, at Reeervoir Hill, says the Mountain Democrat, of Oct. . 23d, Mr. O. H. Hickok killed an eagle which measured five feet and a half from tip to tip of ithe wings, He shot the royul bird with a rifle at a distance of three hundred yards, .

JIcpae Peters asked the late J. W. Condy for the loan of a book; the latter said, ‘with pleasure, I will send it to you.’ “That,” said the .

With adry bottom for the vine to grow in, and a little care to induce a fair quantity of vigorous young wood, any one may easily have an abundance of grapes, It is one of our most reliable fruits. From Inpia,—A letter dated Calcutta, July 21st, appears in the China Mail, from which we extract: Iu political news, things on the whole wear an improved aspect, the mutineers having sus. tained several severe defeats, and, with the exception of Oude, where there are still large armed bands, the mutineers, as bodies, are crushed, But large numbers, in detached parties, still roam about, their object being chiefly . mere pluoder. The wantof tight cavalry is the cause of our forces not be ng able to come up with them, as the English soldier is no match, . especially in the hot season, for the Sepoy in swiftness. The last engagement we beard of was within stand, being well off for artillery-—the consequenee of which was that 200 were killed in the . plains, and the rest bolting to a fort. They . were quiekly followed up, and guns being \ brought to bear upon it, an assault was soon made, and the whole cut uptoa man. Not . one, itis believed, made his escape; while the loss on our side was trifling. This isa severe lesson, which will not be forgotten in a hurry. Twenty-five thousand men _ will be arriving here by the close of the rains, and they are much needed, not only to increase the force, buta large number to fill up for casualties, . Which by sun-stroke alone are enormous, . PotrricaL.—Some of the California papers . are just now divided in opiniou conceruing the . preference of some promineut Southern meu for Senator from IJIlinvis, If there is a man in the whole South who docs not prefer the election of a national man like Douglas, over such tan theatres, at a salary of 25 pounds per week, . a rabid aod ultra sectionalist as Liucoln, he is unworthy to be an American citizen, whether be occupies the highest place in the gift of the people, or is the lowest menial in the service of . *Mudsill’’ Hammond. It is natural for every Lecomptonite, North or South, like the rabid Republicans of Illinois, to desire the defeat of Douglas, Both are equally inimical to the na. tional doctrines he upholds, and both have felt the giant blows of his unmatched logic: termined to doit. The private or public opinions of these who support the Administration . in its war against Douglas, are not worth mak. ing a fuss about, After doing all they could to secure his defeat, it is contemptible dema. gogueism to publicly express the hope that he . Douglas will yet place his giant . beel upon sectionalism, whether North or South, whatever may be the opinion of Lecomptonites or Republicans. Butte Record. .

Sacket, Secretary France and Madagascar. On the easterv coast of Africa, and defended like that continent by a climate fatal to the white race, ut least along the coast, lies the magnificent island of Madagascar, a strangely neglected but wonderfully rich field for the colonizing ambition of Europe. France has) glanced in that direction before, but it remained for the daring, far-sighted Napoleon to really . comprehend its grand capabilities, and grasp . them boldly, as an appendage of his prospective African empire. It is now quietly announced that this east island, a thousand miles . in length, and of twice the area of France, is, and has been for two centuries, French property.

In their native places of growth grapes grow . chiefly in different situations according to their different sections, The family the Catawba and .

The mail is to be carried from Stockton to Kansas City on the Missouri river, and the trips are to be made monthly. The contract has been given to Messrs. Barrow, Porter & Co., who receive $80,000 per annum, The route does not at any point extend further south than the 35th parallel of latitude, and the distance is but a little over two thousand miles.

ANCIENT aNp Moprern Exprres.—Blackwood’s Magazine, with all its conservative principles, mingled as they are with doctrines that are now regarded as politically effete, often condenses jnto brief space many interesting and historical matters, that are alike agreeable and . instructive to the general reader. Among these interesting papers, we find a reference to the magoitude of the Roman Empire and its military forces, and a comparison with similar . elements in modern kingdoms, According to the estimates before us, Russia surpasses Rome . in extent of territory, and contains an army . considerably more numerous, France and Aus. tria rank next to Russia in the number of their standing armies, and could bring singly in the field a much larger force than the whole Roman Empire. The military foree of the Pagan . Empire is bere estimated at 450,000 men; the ; Christian monarchies of France and Austria are cach of them reputed to maintain an army of 650,000, and whea we reflect upon the invention of gunpowder and the enormous force . of artillery, itis evident that any one of the first-rate powers of modern Europe could bring . into the field a destructive force that would . sweep from the face of the earth the thirty le. gious of Adrian. The very division of Europe into a number of states involves this increase of soldiery. In the old Roman great Mediterranean Sea lay as peaceful asa dread but the winds and the waves; whereas in modern Europe many quite artificial bounda ries bave to be guarded by an army of soldiers. Belgium defends ber flats with 100,000 men, and the marshes of Holland are secured by 60,}000 Dutch, Hitherto everything bas tended to develope the military power in Christendom. lep Acror.—The following odd announcement appears in the London Morning Advertiser : “We understand that Mr. Jobo Townsend, M. P. for Greenwich, bas been offered and accepted an engagement at one of the Metropoli. Mr. Townsend’s engagement is for 50 nights, . Though the fact is not generally kuown, Mr. Townsend has, on various occasions, represent. . }ed with decided success some of Shakespeare’s principal characters in furtherance of the cause of charity. In the present case he is to appear, we are told, on the histrionic boards for the sole purpose of assisting in the liquidation of! . the claims of bis ereditors—the only considcra. tion, we are assured, which could have induced . him to accept the offer made to him. As a preliminary step, he will at once resign his seat in the House of Commons, From Curva.—The ship Sea Nymph arrived }at San Francisco on Sunday night, from China, . bringing dates to August 28th. Peace had been proclaimed, but there seemed to be but) little confidence reposed in ite permanence. . Busiuess at Canton is dull. The American clipper ship Antelope, chartered by opium tra. . ders, and the English ships Lady Raglan and . Doubts are entertained as to the inten. late treaty between the Chinese and English and French, made at Tien-tsien. At Canton, . every preparation was being made by the Chinese for the resumption of trade. The merchants were opening their establishments, and the linguists bad received instructions to facili tate the discharge of ships waiting at Whampoa, The blockade, however, was stillon, and of; . course could not be taken off withoat the Ad . miral’s orders. . Kanaka vs. Curaman.--A free and fierce . scrimmage, the Butte Record says, occurred at . the Channel Rock Claim on Thursday last, be‘tween a party of Kanakas and some Chiuam7;, all of whom were employed on the claim. While . the parties were about equal in point of uum. bers, the Kanakas worked terrible havoc with . the celestials’ sconce boxes and olfactory or. vane, but upon being largely reinforced, the . Jobns gained so decided an adventage and were . . following it up with so much vigor that the in. terference of sone white men was induced and ; the parties eventually separated.
