QutEr PoLirIcIANs.--Th qniet politicians seem
TO carry the day In Washington, u we judge from
the appointments which have been lately made
have been engaged in violent contests with each 9TH
or for the Offices and have enlisted troops Of friends
to second their pretensions, unobrnsve and almost
unnoticed candidates have borne OIL the prizes. We
like this mode Of proceeding, for l. shews, that the
President and his Cabinet cannot be influenced by
names or numbers TO disregard real merit. We wish
that they would proceedone step farther and peremp
ioriy refuse to appoint any candidate who harnesses
them by personal applications. We think that the
examples which have been set in the appointments
In Philadelphia and New York, will have the effect
to discourage the system Of importunnte begging
The duties imposed on the members Of the admin
isration are sufficiently oncrous without having s,-
peraded the personal teasing Of horde Of applicants
for public offices, and Is Il not therefore, surprising
that those who stand aloof should find moro favor
with tho appointing power, than those who press
forward daily with thor claims.--Bah. Clipper.

Gen John Wilson, the newly appointed Indian
Agent in California, who passed here a few days
since, arrived al ST. Louis Sunday evening" the 29th

medately TO the City Of the Salt Lake, his headquar
ters Ii Is understood that Gen. W. superintends all
the sub.agencics In California and is authorised to
visit all the tribes, make treaties with them, gather
statistics Of their population resources &c, &C.
The position is on important one, and those well ac-
qnanted with Gen. Wilson, represent him as exactly
suited TO discharge these important duties. The ST.
Louis Republican says that Gen. Wilson has also
been appointed Navy Agent at San Francisco. This
Ia probably incorrect inasmuch the act creating
the Collection District In California only provides
for the appointment Of Collector and three depu-
tes--no Navy Agent.

THE WEST BROOK PHENOMENON.

The Worcester Spy gives some account
from an eyewitness, of the late sinking oil
land at Westbrook Maiue, which took place
between four and five o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon, the 5,h instant. The actual guam
tity of land lost is estimated at forty acres,
and brook has been formed, not so large
bu, you may jump across il in many places.
The Spy says:
There is missing some twenty acres OF
woodland, and about the same quantity OF
pasture land Over this whole extent the
natural soil has entirely disappeared, and in
its place is a firm plastic blnc clay. The
woodland was covered with heavy growth
of timber the whole of which has sunk be-
low its original level some thirty feet, leaving
perpendicular walls OH three sides, and grad
ually sloping on the other side. The trees
on a portion of the land have disappeared
entirely, and on another portion they are
thrown about in great disorder-some sunk
half or two-lhirds their length in the earth;
vet remaining upright: some partly tipped
over, some pfostra,e, and others reversed
the tops being under the surface; and the
roots standing up in the air One large and
valuable elm tree, which had been sold by
contracts for timber, has entirely disappeared:
not Il vestage of it remaining. The clay Is
dry and firm on some parts, but III others Is
so moist that it yields readily TO the foot, and
man standing upon i, will, by the weight
of his body, gradually sink into it, "A ten
feet pole has been run down lis whole length
into this clay, and it appears to be OF the
same consistencc the whole depth. When
Jumped upon. it has tremulous or shaking
motion, as if i, rested on water or semi
flnid mass below. The present surface Is
nearly level plain. The brook OF stroud
water River" before mentioned, formerly
passed over the earth which has thus sunk,
but now passes by on the side which slopes
into the cavity. This shows that the bord-
ers of the cavity were somewhat elevated by
the sinking of the mass, and thus new di-
rection was given TO the stream.
