of postage of five cents on all letters. The same
veracious informers tell us that Mr.. Clayton de-

will take his place. There may be truth in the
rumor with reference to postage, but we have no
idea that there is any in that with reference to

IL This section of country was visited by
heavy storm of wind and rain, on Friday night
and Saturday last. In the Chicago Tribune we
find the following account of marine disasters at
Milwaukee:
About IL O'Clock, a. m, on Saturday, the stca-
mer Lexington. from Green Bay, made our har-
Dor, but in running in grounded on the bar at the
inner end of the piers and there remained hard
and fast Sooner after the schooner Baltic came
in and brought up prettily alongside the Lexing-
ton, the TWO together etfcctually blocking up the
entrance. The Lexington was got off on Satur-
day night by the steamer Detroit and was lowed
to the bend of the river where she sunk and re-
mains hard aground in a leaky condition.
The schooner Twin Brothers. laden with lum-
Der, also grounded between the government piers
and was pounding pretty hard the last we heard
from her
The schooner Henry Clay, also laden with
lumber, missed the harbor entrance and ran hard
aground on the beach few rods from the piers.
The propeller Illinois, bound up. carried away
her smoke pipe and blowers during the gale, and
was compelled TO anchor in the bay partly under
the lee OF the north point
We learn from Captain Humphries of the brig
Robert Burns, who arrived at II o'clock last
night from Buffalo, with cargo OF lumber and
salt, that she took in tow the steamer Sam.
Ward in Saginaw Bay, and towed her to Presqe
Isle. She had broken her walking beam and
other parts of her engine.
The schooner Snsquehanna arrived with a
cargo of lumber. Her bowsprit was carried
away in the gale.
The Harriet Calvin arrived with cargo of
lumber
The propeller Illinois cam, into the harbor
yesterday morning, and now lies at Dousman &
Co.'S wharf. She rode the gale in safety and
suffered but little damage. She threw overheard
quantity of pig iron, and 80 or IS barrels of
oysters. But little damage done to the balance
OF the cargo.

THE LAST HAT OF SUmMER.-The man with

We looked in the accustomed place the other

falling for the first time in the season, but fell
not upon the straw hiatt had been DOTTED A
good warm beaver surrounded the temples and
covered the top of the man who dared the frosts
of Autumn; we thought he had more iudepon-
dence than to yield before single light snow

and half in earnest, and very sparingly at that,
(But human hopes are soon blasted, and friends
whom we think we can rely on in the time of
Summer and perhaps a little in the Autumn Of
life, are ready to cave, then neglect, and finally
desert, as the cold SHOWS of Winter gather a.
round) We do like the independence of man
though, who dares wear his straw hat late in the
Autumn. We think he has mind of his own.
lie asks no body when is the proper time to
change his hat. He changes the straw for the
beaver just because he thinks the beaver will
agree with his feelings and health the better
Such man can be depended upon, you may

and good ness in the fashion world-wiIl adopt no

WASHING TON. Nov. Is,


Our friends in California have helped them
selves very literally In the way of our own boun-
dairy. They made their sea coast line only a
thousand miles in extent, and took nothing more
than just exactly the whole. They know very
well that when their placers give out, the ocean
will afford them a plentiful resource in com
merce and navigation. Anticipating that a state
with an area exceeding that Of all the non-slaye-
holding states of the Union-leavng out Iowa,
a state with an area of half million of square
mes-would be of cumbrous e. tcnt--they left
out of their boundaries large portion of the in
terror.
The Mormons do not, they say, choose to ally
themselves with them, but it might happen still
that two or three States to be carved cut Of Cal
ilornia might desire an access TO the ocean, and
a little sea coast cannot believe that Congress
will assent to such a boundary as has been indi-
Gated. They will, of course, modify the State
constitution in that respect, when they give their
assent to it, This will delay for sometime the al
mission of the State, as the Constitution must
go back for modification.
