FROM CALIFORNIA.

Gen. Kearney and suit together with a
few others arrived at Fort L~cavenworth on
the 22d inst, and in St. Louis on the 25th,
having ome by the new roads and made
the trip to the Fort in l65 days. Col. Free
mont also left about the same time in COM
|pany with about 25 persons, chiefly of the
Typographical core under his command in
1916. The parties arrived together at Fort
Leavenworth, where Col. Fremont was
put under arrest by Gen. Kearny, and sent
to Washington. The particulars for whieh
Col. Fremont has been arrested we have
not been able to learn. We forbear to
make further comments until the facts have
more fully developed themselves to our un-
Outstanding.
A Court Martial, we presume, will be
held at Washington where lie will have an
opportunity of answering the charges that
may be preferred against him. The party
report affairs to be in a quiet condition in
California.

Horrors Of Lmmigrdtion.-The Canada
papers are still recording the ravages of dis
ease among the unfortunate emigrants; VIC
TINS to crowded ships, badly ventilated and
poorly provisioned, in which the filthy and
the clean are Unfortunately PLACID. Among
the passengers of one only of the hundreds
of ships sent to Quebec this season, more
Britons are understood to have died already,
than there were of Americans at Monterey
or Buena Vista, both of them bloody affrays

lows: Wehave returns from all the counties
in the State, except Coffee, Dale, and Hem

Governor, is 1854. The three small coun-
ties to hear from will increase this majority
perhaps 200.
For the Legislature the returns arc com

Col. McClung, ofMississippi, who is run,

DROWNED.

On last Monday the 23d inst, the body
of a man was found atloat zeal the Illinois
shore, opposite Louisiana. Hcwas suppos-
ed to be between Is and 25 years of age,
and about 5 feet i or 5 inches high. His
hair and complexion were light-his dress,
"a snuff colJred coat with velvet collar and
guilt buttons, a neat vest, a pair of chequer-
ed c~asinett pants, and a striped silk cravat.
He was supposed to be a Tailor BY trade
from the fact of a thimble, needles and a
%tailor's measuring tape having been found
on his person. In his pocket was found a
small pocket-book containing some three
dollars in money, and three steamboat re-
ceipts. One Of them from Tie steamer Rev.
enue Gutter, from st. Louis to Galena.-
The other two from the steamer Talisman
for st. Louis. These receipts were given
to the names of Davis and Jones. The body
was buried on the Illinois shore opposite
this place. The money is IN the hands Of
VIM. II. Robinson of Louisiana.

DIsAsPROUS SHIPWRECK.

The Glasgow Herald of the. Sd instant
oiyes the particulars of late shipwreck
ON the west coast of Scotland, attended
with fearful loss Of life, as derived from
three seamen, the only survivors out OF
two hundred and fifty persons on board,
who arrived at Glasgow on the lst IN
slant.
"The vessel was the brig Ermouth, OF
Newcastle, of 800 tons, ISAAC BooTH,
master, bound from Londonderry TO Que
bee. Her crew consisted OF eleven men,
and she had on board as passengers about
240 emigrants, principally small farmers
with;their families. There were also
number of women and children going out
to join their male relatives who had al
ready settled in Canada and in the cabin
were three young ladies', two of them sis
tiers, going to their homes at St. Johns,
New Brunswick. Among the passengers
were only about sixty men.
"A gale set in very soon after the brig
lost sight of land, which was on Sunday
afternoon, April 25, and continued to In
crease in violence uLt Wednesday mo-
ming, when she struck on the western
coast of the island of Islay. After the
first blow she was dashed. broadside a
gainst the lofty rocks three times at the
fourth the mainmast went by the board,
falling into d chasm of the rocks.
sin the maintop, at this time, were the
captain, who had stationed himself there
for better lookout, and three seamen !;
the captains son, lad of fifteen, was a.
sleep below. When the mast fell into
the chasm the three seaman, John Ste
vens, William Couliheart, aud George
Iightford, succeeded in scrambling along
until they gained a footing on the crags,
the darkness being total. The captain
spoke to them, and was about TO follow,
when mighty wave swept over the rock
and in its recol hurled the fragments of
the mast and the captain back into the
sea and drove. the brig to greater distance
from the shore, thus cutting of the only
chance of escape for those on board. The
three seamen contriyed TO maintain their
position on the crags, though the waves
dashed over them, and after time sue
ceeded in finding crevice, where they
remained in tolerable safely until day
light, when they gained the summit of the
cliff and soon obtained relief at farm
house.
''They heard the brig rapidly dashed
and ground to pieces, and all on board
must have perished. At the date of the
latest advices from the island about twenty
bodies had come ashore, principally fe-
males one was little boy. All were
terribly mangled by being dashed against
lhe rocks. Other bodies were seen float
ing in the surf, but ne boat dare approach

THE WALLS OF THE UNION

Mr.. NICHOLAS, a Loco Fcco member
Of the St, Senate of Louisiana, and for
lnerly U. S. Senator from that State,
introduced series of resolutions recon-
mending Gen. TAYLOR as suitable can
didate for the Presidency. The Union
thus plaintively and Enthusiastically re-
fers this movement -
"WIth all the respects which we feel
for Mr., Nicholas, we consider the propo-
sitlon fer legislative nomination of Gen.
Taylor as not in the best taste as ertra
official, and not as an er o6fciO act of a
Senator of Louisiana, It is suitable nei-
ther 10 the place nor to the time. The

not dropped upon the military conduct Of
General Taylor, Other generals, too
m0y arise 10 dispute The honor Nth

Scott being named by his friends in con-
neXlon with the Office. Il is reasonable,
TOO, IN the midst of a foreign war, to seek
the highest civic magistrate in the world

been done. over and over again, with no

THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION.

THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION.
If the Wings make proper exerhons,
the next general election will give them
an easy and decisive victory. Locofoco-
ism by its meandering course-by being
almost everything by turns, and nothing
loncer Than it subserves its immediate
purposes-has become so VIGOROUSLY un-
popular that it will be next to impossible
again to rally its broken fragments. The
only thing in which its members have
ever been stable, is the holding on to the
spoiIs of office; and in this respect Gov.
Skunk is not a whit behind the foremost,
he having managed to get more than his
share in proportion to the amount of SER
vices rendered. He has never been fit
for leader, but his has been the post OF
an inferior. Never able 10 originate any
thing himself, but ever ready, for a con-
sideration, to carry out the plans of 9TH
ers, he has rendered his party some SER
vice; but as an evidence of his having
been amply remunerated for all he ever
did for il, I need only refer to the fact
that he has been a hanger on--a sort OF
.'sap sucker"-at the Treasury for twen-
ty FIVE years or upwards. Neither his
abilities-for he has none-nor his public
services give him any claim upon the peo-
pie; and whatever claims he may have
had upon his own party for either clean
or dirty work performed, have long since
been cancelled by the spoils of office be-
slowed upon him. With such man as
leader, added to the weight Of odium
that attaches 10 it besides, what can Loco
focoism expect to accomplish at the ensu-
ing election! Certainly little, if anything;
and, as before remarked, if the Wings do
but exert themselves the victory will be
theirs. They need only bring out their
forces, in order to make that victory de-
cisive and overwhelming; and that they
will do so, is inferred from the fact that
they are united as one man, and conse-
quently will march to battle together in
solid and unbroken column.

MIR. ROW.
Why is it that the people of So
merset County have not made an effort to
raise something tor the starving Poer in
Ireland and Scotland! While our garners
have been filled to overaowing, and We
have been receiving the bounty of the
Benehcent Giyer of all good, thousands
upon thousands in those unhappy Coun-
tries are furnishing and dying for the want
of bread and meat Can we hear of their
distress and remain unmoved and indfle-
rent! Have we no bowels of mercy and
compassion! Have we forgotten the di-
vine precept that they that give to the
poor lend to the Lord, and that it is more
blessed to give than TO receive! hope
better things Of our citizens, and though
it is long delayed it is better to do little
now than to give nothing at all. | feel
satisfied that there are hundreds of our
citizens who would feel it privilege to
contribute something for this purpose,
Z and all they want is for some persons to
make beginning. | would suggest that
the beginning be made at Somerset. Let
there be public meeting called, t-easu-
rer appointed, and let this meeting appoint
committees in every township and bor-
ough in the county, and let these commit
tees call on the people and receive what
they are willing TO contribute for this
worthy purpose and forward 70 the trea-
surer, 10 be forwarded on 10 the relief OF
the distressed. If this plan or some 9TH
er one be adopted predict that something
handsome will be realised. If but one
single wagon load OF produce would be
sent from this county it might be great
blessing to many. What say you friends
and fellow citizens!
