aud individual, who is now a common
street beggar ia Holly Springs, was one Of

Curious DIscovERY.-Dragging for
dead bodies is sometimes unsuccessful, but
a curious discovery has been lately made
in Cincinnati. A child of six years old
was drowned in the canal aud a long time
was lost in dragging for the body without
success. A young woman recommended
them to get loaf of bread aud put some
quicksilver in It, aVerring that It would
float 10 the body. The bread thus prepar-
cd 1oated to distance, remained station
airy after turning round several times and
beneath the spot occupied by the loaf the
child was found.

GENERAL JACKSON AND CAPT. FArIo.
An exchange paper relates the following of
General Jackson and Capt Fatio, late of
the Revenue Service: "The Capt. Fatio,
who was lately dismissed from the service
as Commander of the Revenue Cutter
Woodbury., in consequence of putting into
port to avoid gale of wind, he having a
government agent on board, charge with
important dispatches for Vera Cruz, is the
same person who obtained office from Gen.
Jackson in rather singular manner
Having been dismissed from service by
John Quincy Adams, he had his com
plant before the new President immediate
lv upon his accession to power. The
General, as aIedges, promised to reinstate
him, but put him of from day to day, until
at last, incensed by the untiring importu-
mites of the little Captain, the old hero
sprung TO his feet, and swore by the
EteruaI,' if he did not desist, he would
throw him QUE of the window! The
word were likely TO be followed by the
action, when Fatio, distending himself TO
his utmost proportions, exclaimed, Try
it, You id old tyrant, and III run you
through The General was so much as.
toniShed at the fellows GOODNESS aud cou
rage that he sat down and wrote out his

TRAns WITH SARDINIA -ThepreScat
year, says Wilmer and Smiths Times, ex-
hibitS remarkable increase in the com.
merce OF the United States with the king
dom OF Sardinia. This increase is owing
to the successful efJrts of the American
Minister at Turin, Mr. WickIif, IN in
ducing the leading merchats and manu-
facturers of Genoa TO import American
produce and export that of their own coun-
Try to the United States directly. As a
consequence, American commerce has
been relieved from the Intervention of third
nations, aud, by the establishment OF direct
relations, augmented. As IN instance of
the increase, the article of cotton may be
taken: Th1 usual average quantity of
American cotton imported Inte Genoa
yearly has been 10000 bales; during the
fast six months Of the present year Is. 900
have been already imported,

SANTA FE.

DAN i II It
We understand that dispatches from
Gen. Kearny of the lst September have
been received. They make no illusions
10 the reports that are stated in the follow
ing extracts from the ST. Louis papers.
The general was organizing his military
force, aud making arrangements for the
provisional government. He had sent a
part of his force into part of New Mexico
which lies south OF Santa F'e for the pur-
pose of foragIng the horses, &c. He says
nothing fthe expedition to California:
From the st. Louis Republican Oct. TO-
FROM SANTA FE.
We were disappointed yesterdy ia failing
to receive our correspondence from Santa
Fe, although large number of letters
reached the post office. From some of
these letters, written about the first OF Sep
TENDER, we learn that Gen, Kearny was
still at Santa Fe He had given orders
for the movement of the troops on an ex-
petition about $50 miles in the interior.
They Were to leave on the second of Sep
TENDER, and would, it was supposed, be
absent about two weeks. BY the time of
their return, it was expected that the Nor
mon battalion of infantry, under the com
mand Of Lieut. Colonel Smith, would have
arrived at Santa Fe, aud then the exped-
ton against California was to commence.
In this expectation they would be, howev-
er, disappointed, as letters from Col Smith,
written on the route, say that he would
not be able to reach Santa Fe before the
LIST of October 1t had been determined
that the two companies of Dragons, under
the command of Captains Moore and Cook,
and the battalion of Mormon infantry, were
to accompany General Kearny on the ex-
pedition to California. None of the Mis-
souri, volunteers Were TO be employed in
this service.
We further learn that, after the depar-
tulc Of Gen. Kearny, the remainder Of the
force was to be divided One-haf of it
was to remain at Santa re, including the
battalion of artillery under the command
of Major Clark and company of dragons
under Capt. Summer. The remainder of
the force, under Col. Boniphan was to
march to Chihuahua there to be attached /
to Gen. WOODS army 1t was supposed
that he would arrive there in October, but
1t is not probable that he left San Antonio
before the LIST of the month.
We learn nothing of Col. Prices regi-
mcnt, but presume that he would continue
his march, without any unnecessary delay,
10 California. Maj Walker, who was with
Col Price, was nnxiously looked for at
Santa Fe by the volunteers, who wanted
their pay.
Some Of the traders bad sold ont their
stocks of goods at Santa Fe, at small adj
vance. Others were waiting 10 hear ofthe
entrance of Gen. Wool into chihuahua, TO
which place they intended to proceed in
a few weeks The overunng of the
by the American army, seems TO
De regarded rs matter of conrsc.
