HoRRIBLE.-0n Monday evening last, child
of about or 6 years old-the daughter OF Mr..
Aiattice, near Dickenson's Landing-met its death
% the following singular and remarkable manner.
Having followed the servant girl, (ygho was milk

tail and began amusing herself by separating the
hair which was knotted or entangled toward the
tiP. The servant girl, who had repeatedly warned
her to desist-went in with the milk, leaving the
child thus occupied, and on looking out immediate
" afterward, perceived the COW gallopng around
the barn-yard, and dragging the child after her
With fearful speed. She ran to the rescue and
sezed by the feet the child whose neck was grasp
I'd in moose formed of the hairs in the cows tail
land began to drag with all her might but could
neither hberate the child or stop the cow-whch
Ill kept running about with undated speed and
fishing the child against every interposipg opsta-
sle. After the lapse of some time boy-alarmed
u cries ofthe servant girl-arrived and stopped
Ae brute, when the child was released, but with
jQt life. The poor little thing had been strangled

"Passed Midshipman Louis McLane having
! also volunteered for that service, he appointed
him first Lieutenant of the company. On the
18th, MIR. Fauntleroy was directed to recon-
noitre the country with his command as far as
the mission of St. Johns-to take possession OF
that place-hoist the flag, and to recover ten
brass guns said to have been buried there by
General Castro when he retreated from that
place On his arrival there, Mr.. Fauntletoy
found the place had been taken possession OF
an hour or two previous by Capt. FremoAt,
with whom he returned to Monterey on the
18th. He was subsequently sent to garrison
the place, dig up, mount the guns, and recover
a large amount Of powder and shot, said to
have been secreted there; all of which he ac-
complished before we sailed from Monterey;
between which-the Pueblo of San Jose and
San Francisco, perfectly free communication
was obtained
"On the afternoon of the 18th July the Con-
gress arrived with Com. Stockton.
"On the 18th, the British Admiral, Sir Geo
F. Seymour, arrived in the Collngwood, So
An officer was Immediately sent by Commo-
dore Sloat to tender him the usual courteses
and the facilities Of the port. He was subse-
quently furnished with set of topgailant masts
and other spars for his ship, and sailed on the
23d for the Sandwich Islands.
"The visit of the admiral, have no doubt,
was very servceable to our cause in Calior-

they saw the friendly intercourse subsisting be-
tween the two commanders, and found that he
could not interfere in their behalf, they aban-
donsd all hope of ever seeing the Mexican flag
fly in California again.
'"On the Esd Commodore Sloat directed
Commodore Stockton to assume the command
of the forces and operations on shore, and on
the 29th having determined to return to the
United States via Panama, he hosted his broad
pendant on board the Levant and sailed for
| Mazatlan and Panama, leaving the reno indcr

"At the time of our leaving Monterey, the

California north Of Santa Barbara.

"WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER

done by undertaking female manufacturing
labor has a remedy, and that remedy rests alike
with the employers and the employed, but more
especially with the employers.
To ensure adequate remuneration to the in
dustrisus female, the plan we would recon-
mend is this. Let all the employers of a par
ticular trade hold meeting, Let them, at
that meeting, deoidp acilh the consent Of he en-
pLoyed, ,ohat is a living income for an expert
wOrkuomRn. We should ourself say, six dol
lars a week, at least. Let the meeting, then,
classify The employed thus:-clever-e expert
very expert.
Let the employers, then, calculate how many
of a given article can be made by the expert
hand, without excessive exerton, in six days,
allowing ten hours to the day; and lei the en-
ployerS establish the price for manufacturing
upon that quantity 30 as to produce the re-
CURED living income Of six or more dollars per
week.
by the foregoing arrangement, the very expert
hand would have an advantage over the expert
and the merely cLeuer, and have an inducement
to become first expert, and then usry trpcrt
All the employers paying the same rates,
none would have the advantage of others; they
would establish uniform prices, and there would
be no cause for the consumer, manufacturer or
dealer, TO complain.

I'LL PRAY FOR THEE.

Who thou art will not tell,
YET love thee, oh! how Welt
When the daylight fades away
And the mOOnbe ans round me play
When the glow worm on the ground
Sheds its brilliancy around
When the fire flies so bright
Clean like ST ars upon the night,
And thOu'rt far away from me
Then III breathe prayer for thee.
When soft lamps around me CLEAN
And the winds with sdors TEEN,
And bright eyes around me glance,
And fair forms so lightly dance
When the red wine dyes the lip,
And of pleasures draueht all sip,
When gay hearts forget their care
And loud laughter fills the air;
And from sorrow all seem free,
Then RI breathe prayer for thee
When the noise and mirth is stillCd
Aud with peace the world seems filed
When the moon begins to fade
Lcavng dark the hill and Glade,
And the midnight air so sweet
Comes my burning brow to meet.
Whsn the st rs their vigis keep,
And the world is wrapped in sleep,
Deeply then and sOemnly
W. b'F'lt'A' "a to' '"N''
When he sky is ciouded o'er
And the raiR-drOp swiftly pour
When the storm is hrcwin! fast
Then in fury comrs at last,
Tossing with a giant might
Huge rocks down the mountain height,
Roaming, shrieking, yelling loud,
Like some demon fierce and proud,
LOwly then and fervently
will breathe prayer for thee.
When the mighty minister's bell
Sounds the h0ur of prayer to tell
Mother, maiden, child and man,
Bend 10 Him who only can
Hear their prayers, remove their fears,
Calm their hearts or dry their tears
When the holy thoughts arise
To the portals Of the skies,
Then upon my benoed knee
I will breathe prayer for thee.

OF this assertion, no pHb advertise mcnt has been
made Of its virtues since its invention from the fact
that few having been tried under the advice ofsOme
medical men, the reputation the article attained was
at once, so great, that the supply could not be kent

erected large steam factory, and completed all his
arrangements to keep Hp constant supply for home
