THE MISUNDERSTANDING.

THE PRESIDENT-DUELLING.
We see it stated that Gen. Taylor
has declared he will appoin. no man to
office, military or civil, who has been
engaged in duelling. He is utterly op-
posed to the practice, and is determined
to do all in his power to pu, it down.
This position will find many warm
advocates, and not a few opponents.
1t is very evident no statutory provis-
ions can prohibit the practice pub
lie opinion may; and when those in high
places entertain and express such
opinions as those attributed to the
President, there is reasonable proba.

INDIAN AeENr.-The Washington
Wing Of the 4th says: "Col. Charles
Nutter Handy, of Missouri, was yes,
,erday appointed Indian Agent for the
Sacs and Foxes. He is a native OF
Worcester county, Maryland, and is
quite young man. He left Maryland
four years ago, and has been engaged
in profitable business at Warsaw, in
Missouri"
UMr. Handy is very worthy
and talented young man, and will make
an efficient officer. The administration
will be fortunate indeed, if it shall find
as suitable men to fill the vacancies
that may occur in the different Offices
of the country.

How TO BE HArPY.-Do all the good
you can. Whenever you hear of
poor widow, orphan child or aged man
who is in affection. pay the individual
visit. Do not hoard up all you earn;
give certain portion of your property
10 the poor. Never &c, angry. Ifyou
are slandered or imposed upon, better
suffer little, than to retaliate and use
harsh language. Be not proud and sell
fish. Think no more lightly of your
self and your talents than you do of the
capacities of others. Pay all you owe.
Keep out of debt. Get not en,angled
in the meshes Of The law; avoid it as the
sure gate ofruin. Shun vicious Dur.
suits and unprincipled associates
Honor the Sabbath, serve God, and be
devoted to truth and religion. Finally
take. take some useful paper, pay for il
in advance, and read il aitentively;
and our ward for il, you will be happy.
Peace and contenlment will smile in
your path, Joy dance on your counten-
ance. and every lane Of life before YOU
will be frsught with blessings rich and
abundant.

The s.. louis Neu Era of the 29th ult. has

3old Region, though of no later date than we
tasc already published:
Yesterday morning, DR. Jet, Of Hannibal, in
PIE State, came passenger in the steamer Ed
yard Bates, from New Orleans to this city,
Fhcnce he arrived few days previous, direct
rom California. He came by the way Of Pan
Una and Chagrcs From him we learn the fol-
owing facts connected with the route, expenses,
and mode Of conveyance across the Isthmus:-
The expense for transporting freight from
Ehagres to Panama is a dollar per hundred
tounds, twenty-four miles of which is by land,
nd The residue by water The land carriage is
Nrformed entirely by pack mules whose cargo
Nnsists each Of 800 lbs weight; five miles of
" road is very bad, and nothing can be carried
accept in appropriate packages adapted to being
,acked on mules. fhe charge is seventy-fve
ents hundred, and six dollars hire for the use
Z mule to ride across to the water transpor,a-
ion- The water carriage is accomplished in
4ge size canoes, the proprietors of which charge
ueniy-fiye cents hundred in addition to
Efrh, each passenger IS charged "a fare to
Panama.

tny kind OF accommodation wnder 81 day !;
Nyenturers would consequently do well to take
Ite'r tents and camp equipage with them, so
a1t in the event OF detention at Panama they
kould pitch their own tents and save themselves
Ihis great expense for rather poor living.
A steamer makes the trip from Panama to
Fan Francisco in from ten to twelve days, and
Dr Jett thinks there will be no risk of any very
kgeht detention at Panama; the trip from Cha
Ires to Panama is accomplished with ease in
frenty-four hours, and without any detention
Ftatever. AT Chagres it is very unhealthy, the
hresailing disease being fever and ague, but on
hc Pacific side the climate is salubrious and
l1althy.
From San Francisco TO Suffers, which is in
f,iance hundred miles from the coast, you
ktpceed in small sail vessels, the passage in

CoUNTERFRITERs IN THE WEsT.--The
Quincy Qll) Wing notices the arrival in that
part OF the country of party of eounterieiters.
II says:
The two that honored our city with a visit,
dressed in the Aashy, geuteel style common to
gamblers and pickpockets, and called their
names Hendricks and Clemens or Clements.
The former, while here, succeeded in passing to
MIR. DE Young, one of our clothing merchants,
for some article out of store, one hundred dol
lar bill on the Bank Of Utica, New York, aud
received about ninety dollars as change in good
money, and it seems soon after left the city.
They were pursued the day following by MIR.
De Y, with deputy Sheriff Stevens, and traced
to Warsaw and Nauyoo. AT the latter place
Hendricks changed his name to Brooks, and be-
fore the pursuers reached there they had passed
over TO Montrose.
With considerable trouble, the deputy Sher.
if in company with one or two officers OF Han.
cock, crossed the river through the ice TO Mon
trose When they reached there they learned
that the rogues had left about two hours before
for Keokuk. The officers followed on then
trail, and when they reached keokuk, they
found their spurious gentlemen liourishing abou
there as natural as life. After little manguvre
ing on the part of the officers, Hendricks Of
Brooks was finally detected in attempting Il
pass hundred dollar bill Of the same Utici
4 bank, upon Messrs. Jamison & 1Imberman, o
that place, when he was nabbed by an officer il
readiness, and taken to the lookup in For
Madison for safe keeping.
The third Of the gang was subsequently ap
pretended at Lima in this county. In his pos
session was found large amount ofcounteriei
money, neatly done up in packages, and direct
ed to certain men, whose names are in the pos
session of the officers"
