Chronicle of that city, has risen from
her ashes, and where so lately all was
desoIation, now activity and hustle
and the hum Of business are seen and

saws that he counted afew days ago two
hundred and eight warehouses, dwell

rebuilt and re-occupied, since the great

number there are about i've hundred

A New York paper relates the fol-
lowing ludicrous incident which oc-
cured a few days since on board the
steamer Richmond on her passage to
Staten Islands.
"Previous to starting, the boat be-
came densely packed with passengers.
All the seats being occupied, one of the
softer sex, fat, fair and portly, seated
herself upon the rudder head, which
protruded about the height of seat
through the deck. The boat starting,
her seat kept moving alternate ways.
The passengers near per were much
surprised by her sudden changes of
countenance,. from the most rosy red
to paid hue, and sundry strange and
eccentric gyrations Of her hands and
feet, while the perspiration ran in rivu-
let's down her ample face. At last her
agony found vent in words: Oh, what
is the matter with myself? Is il the
vertaba (query, vertigo) that's on the
top of mef" putting one Of her hands
on her head.
One Of the passengers enquir ed il
she was i'll. She continued her solo
guy, getting more and more agltated
as her seat moved more rapidly. "May
be it's some numbering majonzer (que-
ry, magnetizer) playing his tricks up
on a dacent female, for here am,

RoJ5ery.--A most daring robbery
was committed on yesterday morning,
September 30th in Bolivar, Tuscara-
was County. As far as we have ascer-
taincd, the particulars are as follows:
Yesterday morning, some person CAL
led at the store Of A. d. Thaycr & Co.,
and after awakening the clerk, who
slept in the store, said he wished to
purchase some oats. Whilst the clerk
was engaged in procuring light, six
or seven men rushed upon him, and
knocked him down. After severe
struggle, they succeeded in tying his
hands and feet, and placed e in his
mouth. They then proceeded to rife
the desk and drawer, ont Of which they
obtained $3.50 600. and then deeamp-
ed, leaving the clerk bound and gag
ged upon the floor, in which situation
he was found in the morning. No clue
has yet been obtained to the whereas

The following extracts are from
Report of an Exploring Expedition to
the Rocky Mountains, and to Oregon
and North California, by Brevet Capt
ain Fremont, of the United States To-
biographical Engineers, made in June
last. and just published:
"ln the course Of the afternoon,
dust rising among the hills at pariic-
lar place, attracted our attention; and,
ridngup, we found band of eighteen
or twenty buffalo bulls engaged in
desperate fight Though butting and
goring were bestowed literally, and
without distinction, yet their efforts
were evidently directed against one
q huge gaunt old bill, very lean, white
his adversarics were all fat and in good
order. He appeared very weak, and
had already received some wounds,
and, while we were looking on, was,
several times knocked down and ba "
hurt. and very few minutes would
have put an end to him. OF course
we took the side Of the weaker party,
and attacked the herd: bat they were
50 blind with rage that they fought on,
utterly regardless Of our presence, al
though on foot aud on horseback we
were firing in open view within twenty
yards Of them. But this did not last
long. In few seconds we created
commotion among them. One or two
which were knocked over by the balls
jumped up and ran off into the hills;
and they began TO retreat slowly along
a broad ravine to the river, fighting fa-
riously as they went. BY the iime
they had reached thc bottom. we had
pretty we'll dispersed them, and the old
bull hobbled off to lie down some
where.
As we were riding about slowly
this afternoon, July 4ih,) clouds OF
dust in the ravines among the hills 50
the right, suddenly attracted our at.
,ention, and in few minutes column
after column came gaIloping down,
making directly to the river. BY the
time the leading herds had reached
the water, the prairie was darkcned
with the dense masses. Immediately
before us when the bands first came
down into the valley, stretched an I'M
broken line. the head Of which was lost
among the river hills on the opposite
side; and still they poured down from
the rilgc OH the right. From hill TO
hill, the prairie bottom was certainly
not less than TWO miles vide; aud, al
lowing the animals to be ten feet apart
and only ten in a line. there were al
ready eleven thousand in view. Some
had occupied the whole plan. IN n
short time they surrounded US on every
side, extending for several miles in the
rear. and forward MS far as the eye
could reach; leaving around us, as we
advanced, nm open space Of only two or
three hundred yards.

VOL. III.

l never sat down with dull, tame 'bcrs,'
But loved tea-pary more ard more;
And backward flew to the cheerful cup
Like bird that nibbles itssugar up
And sugar il was and more to me,
For twas blent with the favor Of good green tea.
The clouds were dun and rainy the morn
So the gossips say-whenI was born;
The kettle sung, and the Jest was told,
And tbs teacups and saucers were green and
gold;
And never was heard such chattering wild
Aswelcomed to Congoa the China child.
I've lived since then upon heavy wet
And all sorts of drink which man can get,
With splitting headaches and purDled nose,
And empty pockets and tat,ered clothes
But I've signed the pledge, and when Death
seeks me,
He shall find me over pot a of teal"
The reader who will not be struck
by the pathos and beauty of the above
must have but a hard heart. Nor will
the lines be undressing to our tenn
perence friends; for they will perceive
that the pledge was known in China
before it was introduced into America.
Like the mariners compass, it was OF
celestial origin; and the same may
doubtless be said of the word ''tee. to-
tall" the original of which LE-KAw-
HING assures us is "te-totl." 1t is said
they also have priest named FA-DHER
MAr-Hu; if so, the coincidence Is
striking, and it may throw some light
on the early origin of the Irish, which
some assert is Phenician, but which
possibly may be Chinese or Tartar--it
is doubtless eastern. Indeed, one of
the Irish characteristics is designated
by an original name, "bul-bul." |
leave other and more ingenious writers
to pursue the investigation OF this irish
bull and Eastern bird analogy.
One more song of LE-KAw-HINa's,

Mn. PoLK's CoNsIsrENcY.-We have noted the
following facts before from the Washington cores
pondent Of the Baltimore Patriot. They will not
spoil by repetition. Speaking Of Mr. Folks consis-
tency for dismissing 1t Hurst for fighting duel
the writer says:
"If he acted conseientiONsiy in dismissing Lieu
tenant Hurst believing that the Government offices
ought 10 feed and clothe those persons who had
participated in duels, deliberately taken the lives
of their fellow beings, why did he appoint Gideon
B. Mailock, of Tennessee, to an Indian Sub-Agen-
cyl Was it because Matlock had certified for him
against Governor Jones, and then simply killed a
man in Nashville who denounced him for having
acted the part Of cerli6erl Why did he appoint
George w. Jones, Surveyor Geneal oflowal Was
it because Jones was the second Of Cilley in the
duel which lost the latter gentleman his life, aud
which duel it is quite possible Mr. Jones might have
prevented Why did he appoint Alcee Labranch,
Naval Officer Of New Oreansi Was it because
Mr. Labranch only killed a Wing editor in duel
some three years agol And why has he now APP
pointed Dennis Prieur Collector of New Orleans
Is it because Prieur fought duel with and killed
the late Senator Waggaman, some two years
since 7"
Zone murder makes a villain, millions hero"
Poor Hurst was poor man with an humble office,
and hence his dismissal Matlock, Jones, Labranch
aud Prieur are men Of mark and influence, and
hence their appointments. This is the practical
democracy of the day.--M Y. Express.

From THE OREGON CoUNTRY.-The ST. Josephs
Gazette publishes two letters from an emiarant TO
Oregon. The first, dated the 18th of February,
alludes chiefly TO the progress which the settlers
are making. The writer speaks in warm terms of
the country, and says the emigrants raised sur
plus of wheat last year Of 100000 bushels The
other letter is more important, because il shows
that the emgrants have already established sepa-
rate government. Politics, ii seems were running
high, and there three candidates for governor,
George Abernethy aud Dr. Bailey. formerly Of New
York, and Osborne Russell. The organization Of
this government viii be very likely to bring on
collision between the emigrants and the Hudson
Bay Company. That company, for several years
past, has had government organized under the
act of the English parliament, under which there
is resident justice Of the peace al Fort Vancouver
and several other stations. If the emigrants feel
sufficient security in themselves to establish an in
dependent government, they will no, tamey submit
TO any assumptions Of the English company or of
their officers. The emigrants, II seems from their
first letter. are not very well prepared to meet the
expense OF an Independent government, unless
SKINS, pelries, &c. are made lawful tender The
writer says" There is little or no money in this
country; business is carried on entirely by exchang-
ing commodities. l did not believe that the peo-
pie could do 80 well without money" A grisl mill
with three run Of stones has been put into opera
ton at the Waamete Falls.
