The frigate Sueqaebanoa was to bave sailed August 24th, to be followed by the Powhattao, and special orders have been sent to the frigate Sabine, at Aspin wall, and the St Louis, at Pensacola, to meet at arendezvous. The destination of the Susquehanna bad been fixed for the Mediterranean, but has been suddenly changed for the Gulf of Mexico. It is surmised that the movements of Walker bad caused this mustering of a naval force in the Gulf. Tue TeLeorary.—The Visalia Delta is in. formed by the gentlemen engaged upon the work, that the wire is stretched to the distance of forty miles south of Visalia, and that about sixty miles of the line north from Los Angeles is completed. There is wire at Visalia and Los Angeles sufficient to complete the line, Two companies are working each way and will meet at Fort Tejon, The line will be in working order from San Francisco to Los Angeles about the 20th inst, ' PoPuLaTion OF PENNSYLVANIA.—By the par. tial returns of the deputy marshals engaged in taking the census of Pennsylvania, it is pretty accurately ascertained that the population of that State is about 3,100,000; as large a population as the thirteen colonies had at the time of the revolution, Resronep.— Wm. R. Turoer Jadge of the 8th Judicial District, bas resigned his office. At the time of his election he helda Federal appointment, and a question arose as to bis eligibility ; and be bas resigned for the purpose of running for the same position at the coming election. For Doveias.—Mr. Barrett, who has been elected to Congress, over Blair, for the short term, in the St Louis district, has come out for Douglas. He says: “Donglas should have been elected to the Senate in 1859, a8 he was, and should be elected to the Presidency in 1860, as he will be.” Tux late Breckinridge Convention, at Syracuse, was the first State Convention ever held in New York, in which the names of the delegates were not published, The reason of this omission was, that the delegates were mostly self-appointed, district conventions haviog been held in ouly a few counties. From Itaiy,—We bave dates from Liverpool to August 15th. Garibaldi has at Jast made a descent on the main land, and landed with 18,000 men on the coastof Calabria. It is reported that he had been at Naples to confer with the revolutionary leaders, Naples had been proclaimed in a state of ecige. Rarurr Lanor,—Hailstones lately fell at Dresden, Texas, weighing from one to two pounds. Corn, wheat, oats, everything iu the field were masbed to the earth; trees were . bruised, bark and limba were beaten off in ev ery direction, and a great deal of timber wa« destroyed. Wace 1s tux Nationa Canprpate,—The popular vote for Douglas in November next. . will exceed one million five hundred thousand; . the vote for Breekinridge, ebould he remain in . the field, will not exceed three handred thou . sand. Which is the national candidate? . Tus Census.—According to the cenans re. turns thus far received at Washington, the to. tal population of the United States will be . about 32,000,000; an increase of between 8,000,000 and 9,600,000 since 1850. A Srrove Srecien.—Joe Lane, the Disuniou candidate for Vice President, begine his own name with capital letters and God Almighty’s in . lower case. Whenin Mexico be spelled Vera .

A Bap Srtir.—lIt is said that Chang and Eog, the Siamese twins, differ in politics, Both sre . worth had veteran Democrats, but Chang ie now for Breckinridge and Eng for Douglas. Et Dorapo Cotsry Dest—From the montb. ly report of the County Treasurer of El Dorado, it appears that the outstanding debt of the county is 103,785. Decawane.—The rapid disappearance of . slavery in Delaware, as shown by the census, has oecasioned much surprise. It is now only nominally a slave State. Porc.ation oy Tvowwmne.—J.J. Franklin, the census taker of Tuolamne, estimates the population of that county at 20,900. Porv.arion or TcLane.—The total populaoe seman. exclusive of Indians, is Movement Towarps Taz GuLr.—A dispatch ‘ . found in Euro . smooth and soft as whiting.—[Columbia Times, Pacific Sentinel, of August 31st, has the following: 4 man hy the nee of Joly Ocidi, * Lhe sheep on Pleyto Ranch, onterey county, whilst looking for a new for his pasture herd, came s' upon a bear in one of the small canons, He kad, Mosornnea from his mule, and only chance for escape was to climb a tree, which be did; but in securing his rifle he had not sufficient time to fire before the bear was after him, up the tree, and seized och ene oven a With e strength he seized a limb of the tree above hi and held on with one arm, while he fired at the with the other, which caused her to let her hold of that leg. She then followed him up the tree, tore his rifle from him, and seized him by the other leg. He gave her a kick, with his right foot, on the snout, which caused her to loosen gris and in her endeavors to follow him out on the limb of the tree, where he was, she fell to the ground. She then took revenge on his hat, which lay on the gee, and walked off. The poor man's are adfully lacerated. He succeeded in rea the camp, about a mile from the scene, and was attended by his » Mr. Atehiss. Our informant states that he thinks the man, with care, will recover. INFLUENCE or THE CounTRY Press.—It is a le fact that wherever there is a country journal conducted with unusual vigor, the eer sentiment of the community is shaped by it; and in counties where there is but one press, and that , there is a wonderful unanimity of party rere ree > va idle, pe pein sneer at the presumed ins’ cance of the humblest newspaper; and it is foohsh and contemptible to cannes the influence of any, merely because they are printed in remote places. In comparison with that of other States, the country press of California exhibits marvellous intelligence and vigor, and it has not been without prodigious influence in the rapid advancement of society.—[ Mirror. Tue Bio Perairep Trers.—Mr. Knight, who has been with Lander’s party, informs the Alta that there are really petrified trees in the Black Rock country, but none of such —_ dimensions as reby the Stevens’ party, What was said to be a single pitch pine 666 feet long and 40 feet in diameter, he discovered to be at least three trees lying nearly in a line, but some of which had fallen toward each other and tapered in that way, and in no ag could they have Toot more than twelve feet diameter. The longest entire piece measured 170 feet, while the others were broken into much shorter pieces. Still, it was a great curiosity, and rhaps one of the finest specimens of petrifaction in the world. Deatu or A VeTeran.—John 8S. Watts, aged 73 years, died at Mariposa on the 27th of August. The Gazette says; Mr. Watts was a native of North Carolina, and emigrated to Kentueky in 1794, where he resided, with the exception of a short time in Missouri, until he came to this State in 1849, Mr. Watts was an officer in a Kentucky regiment during most of the war of 1812, and took an important part in the battle of the Thames, October 5th, 1813, at which the great Indion warrior of the Northwest, Tecumseh, fell, and the whole British force, under General Proctor, was captured. Kitiep ny Inp1ans.—John B. Sluicer, of the North Fork of Cow Creek, Shasta, was killed by the Indians week before last. Some articles having been stolen from his horse, which he knew had been taken by neighboring Indians, he proceeded to their camp, and demanded their restoration. The Indians refused to give them ups and Sluicer snapped his gun at one of them. ¢ gun missed fire, and two of the Indians commenced. shooting their arrows at him, while several others commenced making hostile demonstrations. Three arrows struck him in the body, and he dicd of the wounds, Kao.in.—Among the many valuable but at present unused productions of our State, kaolin, or the clay employed In the manufacture of porcelain should occupy a prominent place. It may be found in exhaustless quantities, in many parts our State. Here, in Tuolumne county, where the miners call an impure variety of it “lava,” it may be obtained in sufficient quantities to supply the markets of the world, We have seen specimens of kaolin, obtained in this county, finer and purer than that and Asia-being, when dried, as NorasLe Deatu.—The Butte Record, of Sept. Ist, says: The colored man, Geo. Dawson, we understand, was drowned, or killed by Indians, some time since, on the Gulf of Goonies while crossing from Victoria to Fraser river. He left in a canoe, and the boat and party were not heard of afterwards, He will be remembered as a former steward at the St. Nicholas Hotel in Oroville, and as one of the . wrecked on the Central America, who was nine days on the ocean before picked up, It was gonerally supposed that he was not born to be drowned. Mint Statistics ron Avovet.—During the month of August, 454 eat oe of gold bullion, avering 929 fine, weighi +394 ounces gross weight, ond worth 1,088,035 68, The silver purchases during the same time num, bered 24, weighed 10,959 ounces, and were worth $15,431 36. coinage of the month amounted 1,450,000 in double eagles, $10,000 in half dollars, $12,000 in quarter dollars, and $16,300 in refined silver bars. Trai. To Coso.—The citizens of Visalia held a meeting, recently, to take measures to open the newly discovered trail to the Coso mines. This trail, it is said, would shorten the present distance one hundred and thirty miles. A committee was appointed to raise funds to carry out the — of the meeting. The route heretofore traveled leads run due east from Visalia. Sarisractoniry Expiatnep.— The editor of the Yreka Journal, ofter being asked seven hundred and fifty times what the word Yreka meant, finally tells: A town where saloons and the habitations of man are fitted up in the grandest style, while the temple of the Most High falls into decay, and presents a shabby appearance that will more than dis. count the gable end of a western school house. Saxe Brite.—A snake charmer, named Iron monger, was severely bitten on Sunday week, at . Oak and, by one of the poisonous reptiles in his possession. The bite was on the face, which immediately swelled to enormous size, and his recovery [preven to prove tedious, if he escapes death itself. Nice Prece or Quartz.—The Sierra Democrat Bays: 35 . unds, with one side almost completely cover with, gold. This was found August 2st, in the Eureka tunnel. The amount of gold is variously estimated at from $900 to $1,500. Tux AcarvLco Gotp Mines.—The John L. Stephens called at Acapulco, and brings the news were made in the Mint, . A MAN Bapty Wounpep By A BEAR—The . How Breckinridge was Nominated at Cin-. The . through the Kern river country. The new trail will rel. . . . speech at Frankfort, in which he disavowed his [From the New York Leader.) The nomivation of Mr. Breckinridge by the bolters is reviving she reminiscences of tt mote in which he succeeded in proplinces nomination to the Vice Preside: 1856. It will be recollected that the Hon. of . in many of its features that I td give it a otice. Kentucky, was the candidate of that State for . ‘ g ive ae Peiges al lies the Vice Presidency before the Ciucianati € vention. Mr. John C. Breckioridge red his appointment as delegate from Fa county to the Kentucky State Convention, which was held at Frankfort, and which appointed deletes to Cineinnati. Ia the State Convention Tr. johanna voted fora resolution instructing the de — from Kentucky to vote for Boyd for the Vice Presideacy ; and wireworked his own appointment as delegate tu Cincionati, to carry out the instructions regarding Mr. Boyd. ‘Meanwhile Mr, Breckinridge was making pri-_ vate arrangements with certain friends at Washington City and other parts of the couotry te defeat Boyd and secure the nomination for himself. On the night previous to bis nomination, arrangements were made in a caucus of his particular frieads and tinea thata delegate from Louisiana should nominate bim for the Vice crooner and that he, with becoming modesty should, manfally and immediately throw the Lyon Boyd people off their guard, by rising aud making a speech declining the nomination—upoa the ground that bis own State of Kentucky had presented the name 0 Lynn Boyd; and that he was bound to honor as well as by his instructions to carry out their wishes. Thereupon a delegate from New England was to rise and re-aominate him, notwithstanding his manly and sincere declination! All his friends in the secret’ were to crowd their iofluence upon so worthy @ young gentleman, and his nomination was to be thas secured with cathusiasm. This programme was executed literally. The Louisiana delegate did nominate him, He made his dulcet speech of declination, The New England delegate re-nominated him and the Convention affirmed it; and thus was coneummated one of the most successfal political intrigues, and one of the most dishonorable, This has largely aided to sustain, if it did not create that reputation for ‘good lack’ which attaches to the shrewd Kentuckian, The success of this intrigue, flattering no doubt from an aristocratic view, as well as grat ifying from an inside one, induced Mr, Breck: inridge and bis coterie to believe that he sould scoure the Presidency by similar moans and mancuvers, No soover did the breach arise between Senator Douglas and Mr. Buchanan upon the Lecompton treachery, than the watchful Breckinridge started the scheme of securing the Presidency for himself by fomenting and aggravating disunion in the party by eucouraging both sides to believe that he opposed the other, Concealing his real positién and opinions behind the Vice President’s chair until the English bill bad passed, when she Administration policy had triumphed by tli¢ passage of this measure, Mr, Breckinridge returned to Kentucky and made a series of violent Lecompton speeches, after the battle was ever in Congress, The speeches were cop e@ against Judge Douglas in the State of Illinois, during his great struggle aguinst the Abolitionsmsts, with the view of weakening him and securing tbe election of Abe Lincoln to the United States Senate, Daring the whole of that memorable etruggle, Mr. Beeckinridge’s Dame was posted a. one of the Administration speakers against Judge Douglas who was the regular nominee of the Democratic party. Although he did not attend the mectings in person, it is well koown that he was in actual correspondence with the auti-Douglas men ; and, just before the election, he wrote an offensive letter professing to bein favor of Douglas, but giving such reasons as would induce bis friends to vote inst him, This was a strange way of giving and comfort to the party which elected him ; but not pee when taken in connection with Mr, Breck nridge’s position now, ascandidate of the Bolters from the regular National Democratic Convention, During the last year, when a Sepator was to have been elected in Kentucky in place of the illustrious Crittenden, itis understood that Breckinridge’s friends made an arrangement with the friends of Mr. Guthrie, that if the Jatter would eupport the former for the Senate, Breckinridge’s frieuds would support Guthrie for the Presidency. This arrangement was observed in good faith, until Breckinridge was elected to the Senate. Then he returned to Kentacky, and made bis famous slave code arrangements with Mr. Guthrie’s friends, and announced bis programme for the Presidential canvass, The result has been seen at Charleston and Baltimore. Jefferson Davis could not get a! foot on the platform be so laboriously helped to make. Yaneey had to come down to bea mere tool to Breekinridge’s friends, and all the lesser lamps of Disunion had to go on bended knees, like Japanese henchmen, and light the Kentacky youth to the top of the Bolter’s barThere will be remain. Tux New Motive Powsn.—It is announced . that the rumor of the discovery of a new motive power in Paris is true, and it has been made . public. Itis bydromotive, cold water alone being the agent of the propulsion. The benefit to navigation fs anticipated as being immense, doing away at once with the necessity of coal and steam, which would enable vessels to perform the longest voyages iu an incredibly short space of time, The system was submitted to the Emperor, 60 says the report, during bis cojourn io Italy, by the inventor, M. Cavanna, and is but just completed in a manner satisfactor enough to be brought to Paris, where it is about to be examined and criticised by the first . engineers of the day, and experiments are . We were shown a quarts boulder, pe vee. . . about being made at the expense of the Gov: . eroment. The savans and practical men of eve. ry branch of science are waitin yg with the great. est impatience to learn the result of the first experiment, which is to be made as privately . as posible, The snecees of this cattrely new . machine will determine at once the tate of the . that the reported gold mines in the streets of that . long established sovereignty of steam ic navi. city have taken out altogether. To ps Hanoep.—Jesus Bealoba, Ah Tung, Ah Ke, Ah Shin, and Yu Shin, convicted of murder, have been sentenced to be hanged at Mokelumne Hill, on the 19th of October next.

Caleb Duncan informed Sheriff Messec, on Thareday week, that a man believed to be insane had been stopping about in the Hay Fork . neighborhood, aud that Gibson, a trader in that valley, had detained bim until be could be safely cared for. He gave his name to the Sheriff as Christian Lewis, and is either a German or Swede. From what information could be gainLincoln is my cousin, I have known both Johan and Abe . their earliest childhood. -Since brother Joba has committed himself to the Decatur politician, who is usiag him as a tool te speculate old rails (that I kuow cousin Abe never These at fears that brother John, like cousia Abe, has fallen into bad bands, and that a than by nature made for a good maa, bat who byl at pani protecting counselors, may be by his associations entirely rained. Ihave knowa the entire hb of both brother John and cousin Abe, and that stuff in the letter p hed in the Chrenicle is stuff, miserable. although brother Joho’s name is signed to it, I koow tbat he even yet does not know what is in it; much less did he ever write it, It is the work of men unscrapalous in the means they may use in gulHog oe Eg ‘at o John’s letter d find «a long pathetio allusion to cousin Abe’s early and hard life. That may be poetical, but there is but little of it true. In Abe’s younger days he was a wild harum searum hoy, and jumping and wrestling yf} Were bis only accomplishments, His laziness was the cause of mauy mortifications \o me ; for as I was an older boy than either Abe or John, 1 bad to do Abe’s work at uncle’s when the family were all sick with the ague from eating watermelons, and Abe would be rolicking around the country neglecting them. Ia those early days we all saw hard times; yet a youn mao who was energetic and industrious could dress himself comfortably, and have plenty of plain good food to eat, Ihave often felt ashamed of cousin Abe in seeing bim a full grown man, gadding around the coattry barefoot, with his toes outrageously epraddled out by the mud ; and instead of reading bis booke as brother Joba, though the Decatur politician so poetically tells us, he would be rowdyi around with a pack of wild young men, I we remember when he went courting one of Major Warnick’s daughters fo this county, his boote were so misera m4 bad that bis feet were frost bitten and be had to lay up at Major Warnick’s for two weeks, and have the old lady parse and doctor bis feet, Iam fully persuaded that brother Jobn fs taking the strange course be is now pursuin for the purpose of making woney out of a poe . speculation, andif I could for one moment think that the Decatur ebarpers, in whose hands he has placed himself, would uot cheat him out of every cent of the money, I would uot spoil the speculation by telling the fuets, The facts iu regard to those rails are these ; The little farm that Joho and Abe made the rails to fence contained ten acres. About Ove years after this little farm was feneed, the entire fence was burned up, to my certain knowledge, for I bauled the rails to fence it a second time, Lewis H. Ward. who now resides in thie county, witnessed the fire that burued the rails, and he fs willing to make affidavit of this fact, I lived within two miles anda half of this Lincola farm from the time it was first settled up to 1857, aud during these early times our farmers were subject to being visited by devaatating fires, and I know that the fence around the Lincoln farm was consumed at least three times, Aod I know that after the Lincoln fam~ ity had left the farm, that the fence was again burned, and that Shelt, Whitely and Daniel McDanies made tbe rails and refenced it, I think, and Lam almost certain, that the rails that are pow bailing worshipped all over the North as Lincoln rails, were made by poor Bill Strickland, who is now poor, blind, helpless and inthe Macon county poor bouse. And if these philanthropic Republicans would allow te to make them one suggestion, it would be to help poor Bill Strickland, who really did make the rails, and who is as honest as Abe or anybody else that ever mauled a rail, instead of spending their movey over bis rails, As to cousin Abe being the “Honest Abe politician,” that is anew title for him, When he first came to Illinois, I know that he wasa strong Democrat. Talways thought that he turned Whig afterwards because he had settled in a Whig District. And when I heard him ia 1856, in the Court house at Decatur, make » speech, in which be asserted that be would continue to “agitate the subject of negro rlavery 80 long a8 was beard the crack of the lash u the yellow girl’s back,’’? I did not feel like was cither very honest or very patriotic, for suppose that he said that for the purpose of catching Abolition votes, I know that cousin Abe cared nothing about killing or cutting the throat of the old Whig party the very moment that he supposed he could make anything by building upa new party. And I never suppoved that he cared one cent as to what the principles of the new party seed be, only so it was fixed that he could get office, Now, a8 to cousin Abe’s running flatboats, that amounts to just this: Some young fellows bad cut a raft to run dowa from Jimtown, and Abe, for the fun of the thing went slong, instead of staying at home and attending to his own work, that was needing him very much. That is the extent of his flathoating. If cousin Abe can honestly get a good office, I want to see him do so; but these abominable lies that are being told on bim by politicians da peotene to be his friends, I repel as a family insult. In my own homely way { have told the above asit occurred, for the benefit of my honest neighbors and acquaintances, and I wish you to publish it just os itis, I may trouble you again. hot Cantus Hanks, a Myereny ov Tun Yetiow Frver.—Concerning the yellow fever in New Orleans, the Bee of a late date says: The yellow fever has broken out in New Orleons under every conceivable variety of ciroumstances~-wbhen the streets were clean, and when they were filthy—-when the river was high and when it was low; after a prolonged drouth, and io the midst of daily torrents— when the beat was excessive, and when the temperature was spring-like and pleasant—-when excavations and disturbances of the soil had been frequent, and when scarcely a pavement had been laid or a building ereeted.

He says: “Donglas should have been elected to the Senate in 1859, a8 he was, and should be elected to the Presidency in 1860, as he will be.” Tux late Breckinridge Convention, at Syracuse, was the first State Convention ever held in New York, in which the names of the delegates were not published, The reason of this omission was, that the delegates were mostly self-appointed, district conventions haviog been held in ouly a few counties.

She then followed him up the tree, tore his rifle from him, and seized him by the other leg. He gave her a kick, with his right foot,

on the snout, which caused her to loosen gris and in her endeavors to follow him out on the limb of the tree, where he was, she fell to the ground. She then took revenge on his hat, which lay on the gee, and walked off. The poor man's are adfully lacerated.

INFLUENCE or THE CounTRY Press.—It is a le fact that wherever there is a country journal conducted with unusual vigor, the eer sentiment of the community is shaped by it; and in counties where there is but one press, and that , there is a wonderful unanimity of party rere ree > va idle, pe pein sneer at the presumed ins’ cance of the humblest newspaper; and it is foohsh and contemptible to cannes the influence of any, merely because they are printed in remote places.

Kitiep ny Inp1ans.—John B. Sluicer, of the North Fork of Cow Creek, Shasta, was killed by the Indians week before last.

Three arrows struck him in the body, and he dicd of the wounds, Kao.in.—Among the many valuable but at present unused productions of our State, kaolin, or the clay employed In the manufacture of porcelain should occupy a prominent place. It may be found in exhaustless quantities, in many parts our State.

The nomivation of Mr. Breckinridge by the bolters is reviving she reminiscences of tt mote in which he succeeded in proplinces nomination to the Vice Preside: 1856. It will be recollected that the Hon. of . in many of its features that I td give it a otice. Kentucky, was the candidate of that State for . ‘ g ive ae Peiges al lies the Vice Presidency before the Ciucianati € vention. Mr. John C. Breckioridge red his appointment as delegate from Fa county to the Kentucky State Convention, which was held at Frankfort, and which appointed deletes to Cineinnati. Ia the State Convention Tr. johanna voted fora resolution instructing the de — from Kentucky to vote for Boyd for the Vice Presideacy ; and wireworked his own appointment as delegate tu Cincionati, to carry out the instructions regarding Mr. Boyd.. ‘Meanwhile Mr, Breckinridge was making pri-_ vate arrangements with certain friends at Washington City and other parts of the couotry te defeat Boyd and secure the nomination for himself. On the night previous to bis nomination, arrangements were made in a caucus of his particular frieads and tinea thata delegate from Louisiana should nominate bim for the Vice crooner and that he, with becoming modesty should, manfally and immediately throw the Lyon Boyd people off their guard, by rising aud making a speech declining the nomination—upoa the ground that bis own State of Kentucky had presented the name 0 Lynn Boyd; and that he was bound to honor as well as by his instructions to carry out their wishes. Thereupon a delegate from New England was to rise and re-aominate him, notwithstanding his manly and sincere declination! All his friends in the secret’ were to crowd their iofluence upon so worthy @ young gentleman, and his nomination was to be thas secured with cathusiasm. This programme was executed literally. The Louisiana delegate did nominate him, He made his dulcet speech of declination, The New England delegate re-nominated him and the Convention affirmed it; and thus was coneummated one of the most successfal political intrigues, and one of the most dishonorable, This has largely aided to sustain, if it did not create that reputation for ‘good lack’ which attaches to the shrewd Kentuckian, The success of this intrigue, flattering no doubt from an aristocratic view, as well as grat ifying from an inside one, induced Mr, Breck: inridge and bis coterie to believe that he sould scoure the Presidency by similar moans and mancuvers, No soover did the breach arise between Senator Douglas and Mr. Buchanan upon the Lecompton treachery, than the watchful Breckinridge started the scheme of securing the Presidency for himself by fomenting and aggravating disunion in the party by eucouraging both sides to believe that he opposed the other, Concealing his real positién and opinions behind the Vice President’s chair until the English bill bad passed, when she Administration policy had triumphed by tli¢ passage of this measure, Mr, Breckinridge returned to Kentucky and made a series of violent Lecompton speeches, after the battle was ever in Congress, The speeches were cop e@ against Judge Douglas in the State of Illinois, during his great struggle aguinst the Abolitionsmsts, with the view of weakening him and securing tbe election of Abe Lincoln to the United States Senate, Daring the whole of that memorable etruggle, Mr. Beeckinridge’s Dame was posted a. one of the Administration speakers against Judge Douglas who was the regular nominee of the Democratic party. Although he did not attend the mectings in person, it is well koown that he was in actual correspondence with the auti-Douglas men ; and, just before the election, he wrote an offensive letter professing to bein favor of Douglas, but giving such reasons as would induce bis friends to vote inst him, This was a strange way of giving and comfort to the party which elected him ; but not pee when taken in connection with Mr, Breck nridge’s position now, ascandidate of the Bolters from the regular National Democratic Convention, During the last year, when a Sepator was to have been elected in Kentucky in place of the illustrious Crittenden, itis understood that Breckinridge’s friends made an arrangement with the friends of Mr. Guthrie, that if the Jatter would eupport the former for the Senate, Breckinridge’s frieuds would support Guthrie for the Presidency. This arrangement was observed in good faith, until Breckinridge was elected to the Senate. Then he returned to Kentacky, and made bis famous slave code arrangements with Mr. Guthrie’s friends, and announced bis programme for the Presidential canvass, The result has been seen at Charleston and Baltimore. Jefferson Davis could not get a! foot on the platform be so laboriously helped to make. Yaneey had to come down to bea mere tool to Breekinridge’s friends, and all the lesser lamps of Disunion had to go on bended knees, like Japanese henchmen, and light the Kentacky youth to the top of the Bolter’s barThere will be remain.

Caleb Duncan informed Sheriff Messec, on Thareday week, that a man believed to be insane had been stopping about in the Hay Fork . neighborhood, aud that Gibson, a trader in that valley, had detained bim until be could be safely cared for. He gave his name to the Sheriff as Christian Lewis, and is either a German or Swede. From what information could be gainLincoln is my cousin, I have known both Johan and Abe . their earliest childhood. -Since brother Joba has committed himself to the Decatur politician, who is usiag him as a tool te speculate old rails (that I kuow cousin Abe never These at fears that brother John, like cousia Abe, has fallen into bad bands, and that a than by nature made for a good maa, bat who byl at pani protecting counselors, may be by his associations entirely rained. Ihave knowa the entire hb of both brother John and cousin Abe, and that stuff in the letter p hed in the Chrenicle is stuff, miserable. although brother Joho’s name is signed to it, I koow tbat he even yet does not know what is in it; much less did he ever write it, It is the work of men unscrapalous in the means they may use in gulHog oe Eg ‘at o John’s letter d find «a long pathetio allusion to cousin Abe’s early and hard life. That may be poetical, but there is but little of it true. In Abe’s younger days he was a wild harum searum hoy, and jumping and wrestling yf} Were bis only accomplishments, His laziness was the cause of mauy mortifications \o me ; for as I was an older boy than either Abe or John, 1 bad to do Abe’s work at uncle’s when the family were all sick with the ague from eating watermelons, and Abe would be rolicking around the country neglecting them. Ia those early days we all saw hard times; yet a youn mao who was energetic and industrious could dress himself comfortably, and have plenty of plain good food to eat, Ihave often felt ashamed of cousin Abe in seeing bim a full grown man, gadding around the coattry barefoot, with his toes outrageously epraddled out by the mud ; and instead of reading bis booke as brother Joba, though the Decatur politician so poetically tells us, he would be rowdyi around with a pack of wild young men, I we remember when he went courting one of Major Warnick’s daughters fo this county, his boote were so misera m4 bad that bis feet were frost bitten and be had to lay up at Major Warnick’s for two weeks, and have the old lady parse and doctor bis feet, Iam fully persuaded that brother Jobn fs taking the strange course be is now pursuin for the purpose of making woney out of a poe . speculation, andif I could for one moment think that the Decatur ebarpers, in whose hands he has placed himself, would uot cheat him out of every cent of the money, I would uot spoil the speculation by telling the fuets, The facts iu regard to those rails are these ; The little farm that Joho and Abe made the rails to fence contained ten acres. About Ove years after this little farm was feneed, the entire fence was burned up, to my certain knowledge, for I bauled the rails to fence it a second time, Lewis H. Ward. who now resides in thie county, witnessed the fire that burued the rails, and he fs willing to make affidavit of this fact, I lived within two miles anda half of this Lincola farm from the time it was first settled up to 1857, aud during these early times our farmers were subject to being visited by devaatating fires, and I know that the fence around the Lincoln farm was consumed at least three times, Aod I know that after the Lincoln fam~ ity had left the farm, that the fence was again burned, and that Shelt, Whitely and Daniel McDanies made tbe rails and refenced it, I think, and Lam almost certain, that the rails that are pow bailing worshipped all over the North as Lincoln rails, were made by poor Bill Strickland, who is now poor, blind, helpless and inthe Macon county poor bouse. And if these philanthropic Republicans would allow te to make them one suggestion, it would be to help poor Bill Strickland, who really did make the rails, and who is as honest as Abe or anybody else that ever mauled a rail, instead of spending their movey over bis rails, As to cousin Abe being the “Honest Abe politician,” that is anew title for him, When he first came to Illinois, I know that he wasa strong Democrat. Talways thought that he turned Whig afterwards because he had settled in a Whig District. And when I heard him ia 1856, in the Court house at Decatur, make » speech, in which be asserted that be would continue to “agitate the subject of negro rlavery 80 long a8 was beard the crack of the lash u the yellow girl’s back,’’? I did not feel like was cither very honest or very patriotic, for suppose that he said that for the purpose of catching Abolition votes, I know that cousin Abe cared nothing about killing or cutting the throat of the old Whig party the very moment that he supposed he could make anything by building upa new party. And I never suppoved that he cared one cent as to what the principles of the new party seed be, only so it was fixed that he could get office, Now, a8 to cousin Abe’s running flatboats, that amounts to just this: Some young fellows bad cut a raft to run dowa from Jimtown, and Abe, for the fun of the thing went slong, instead of staying at home and attending to his own work, that was needing him very much. That is the extent of his flathoating. If cousin Abe can honestly get a good office, I want to see him do so; but these abominable lies that are being told on bim by politicians da peotene to be his friends, I repel as a family insult. In my own homely way { have told the above asit occurred, for the benefit of my honest neighbors and acquaintances, and I wish you to publish it just os itis, I may trouble you again. hot Cantus Hanks, a Myereny ov Tun Yetiow Frver.—Concerning the yellow fever in New Orleans, the Bee of a late date says: The yellow fever has broken out in New Orleons under every conceivable variety of ciroumstances~-wbhen the streets were clean, and when they were filthy—-when the river was high and when it was low; after a prolonged drouth, and io the midst of daily torrents— when the beat was excessive, and when the temperature was spring-like and pleasant—-when excavations and disturbances of the soil had been frequent, and when scarcely a pavement had been laid or a building ereeted. If the disease is epidemic and indigenous—a point still in dispute—all we can say is, that research, iuquiry aud sagacity are bafiled iu the attempt to truce its causes, It comes without warning, and goes we koow not whither, Almost the only fixed and undeniable fact connected with the disease is, thatite prevalence is simultaneous with the heats of summer, and that frost is its deadly enemy. _ From these frank acknowledgements it may be understood how exceedingly limited is our knowledge of the subject.
