THE SEA SERPENT ON LAND.-A snake, twelve
feet long and as thick as q common stove-pipe, has
been seen on the West Mountains, Vermont. He
had a venomous look, and the man who saw him
was satisfied without closer inspection. No doubt
this is the sea serpent ruraIizing and enjoying the
benefit of the mountain air, during the heat of
summer.

WASHINGTON, August r. 1s4S
The House in interesting today and with more

Mr.. DEsHoNG.-We were yesterday favored by
visit from Mr. P. NJ. Deshong, well known to the
public an extraordinary arithmetcal genius.
We had heard much of this gentleman's great
powers of calculation, but we must confess that
they far exceeded any thing we had anticipated.
Whole columns of figures were added up, and large
sums multiplied in as short time as we could write
down the figures. Mr.. Deshong informs us that
these results are obtained by the operation of fixed
rules, which can be communicated to any one, and
can be learned in few minutes. We are deter
mined to learn expressly to keep the run of the
election returns.
Mr. Deshong will undertake to teach any one to
perform the same astonishing operations for small
consideration. He can be seen at the st. Charles.

NORTH CARoLINA.-This State still remains in
doubt. The latest Charleston papers say that the

KENTUCKY ELECTIONs.-Th Louisville Jour

there is clear wing gain of 1884 over Owsley's
majority in 1874 There are upwards of one hun
dred counties in the State Owsley's majority was
was 1924 . We deem it unnecessary to give all
the details of the vote In Kentucky for members of
the State Legislature, for the Convention question,
and for the School Tax question. The two latter
have been carried by an Overwhelming vote, and in
the Legislature the wings will have, as usual very
large majority"

gained 10 members of the Legislature as far as

ILLINoIs.-No opposition to French Dem.) for

nand (Dem.) is defeated by Marshall CWhig)

NieboIas p. Tr;s+

The person whose name adorns the head of this
article will be readily remembered by our readers
as the facetious individual who once figured as the
Commissioner of the United States to the Republic
of Mexico, and who was the author of that ex-
quise joke, which bears his narne, and is destined
to an unenviable celebrity under the title of the
Trst Treaty. We had imagined that he would be
content with the fame he had acquired by his di-
plomatic exploits in Mexico, which fairly entitled
him to be considered the successful rival of that
prince of jokers-Joe Miller. But Senior Don Nico-
10 it seems does not wish to remain in the obscurlty
ofprivate ie as long there is the slightest chance
for the exercise of his powers OF sarcasm. The I'M
fortunate object of his last effort is no less person
than the President of the Republic-James n.
Polk. Unfortunate mani Why would he be so
rash as to provoke the ire of the llusrous exChief
Clerk of the State Department! No doubt Mr.
Polk will mourn over his temerity in sack-cloth
and ashes for certainly he will not be able to sur
vive the whitening irony of Don Nicolo Mr.. Trist
is certainly very witty man; but there can be
such things as carrying jokes too far In this case
we think he las rather overshot the mark, and we
are much mistaken if the arrows he has aimed at
the Presidentd do not enter his own breast.
In a communication which Mr.. Trist thought
proper to direct to the House of Representatives,
few days since, he accuses Mr.. Polk of conspiring
to prolong the war, with view to the ultimate
conquest and absorption of Mexico by the United
States To effect this object, he says that the Pre-
sdent made use of means not only dsgraceful to
him as a man, but which would, if proven, subject
him to impeachment and removal from office. Much
as we were opposed to the treaty, we would be the
first to condemn Mr.. Polk, did we believe for a
moment that he had resorted to any such unworthy
and dishonest measures to defeat it, as those of
which he has been accused by Mr.. Trist. But we
do not give any credit TO the accusations. All the
probabilities of the case are against it-Mr. Polk S
own act in accepting the treaty. would of itself be
sufficient evidence of his innocence. We have,
time and again. censUred the President for that act
but since it has been DONE it stands an enduring
reftltation of all the calumnes of Mr.. Trist. The
tone and temper of that senteman's communication
to Congress- are in perfat accordance with all that
he has ever done or said. 1t exhibits degree of
vindictiveness, which must deprive it Of even the
slight degree of credit which some persons might
be disposed to give it. In any other than Mr.. Trist,
we should be surprised at finding such spirit
manifested in an official document, but to him it is
perfectly natural. Butwe tire of this subject, and
can pursue it no longer.
