ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF Mn. CLAY.-Mr
Clay came up from the falls in the four O'Clock
train last evening, but stopped at Black Rock the
guest of w. A. Bird, esq. He remained there until
evening, when he was escorted to the city by a
number of gentlemen who went down for that pur-
pose, and, intending to give the slip Oh account
of his health, went direct To the steamer Queen
City, and took passage for Sandusky 1t got noised
abroad, however and quite large multitude as
sembled i'll and around the boat upon the docks.
Mr.. Clay was called out, and spoke few words
saying at the principal object aside from the hope
of benefit TO his health, Of his visit TO the North,
to be present at State Fair and to the ami
mails and the products of agriculture and of art
which would be there congregated. In this, how
ever, he was pretty essentially foiled wherever
he went, accompanied by Governor Fish, dense
crowd of people interviewed between him and the
objects he sought To scrutinize, that he was
scarcely able to sec what the great exhibition was
composed of. How could Mr.. c. expect that, when
the lion abroad, the Durhams, and Devons, and
Herefqrds should have attention paid them,
A the close Of his remarks, MIR. Clay was greeted
with cheers when he retired, and the crowd began

LETTER FROM PASSENGER IN THE EDWARD Ev-
EnETT.-The following is an extract from letter
written by member of the ''Boston and Califor-
mia Mining and Trading Company" who sailed
from Boston i'll January, in the ship Edward Ever
EFT, dated at San Francisco, July g:
''The news here is cheering. The city is flooded
with gold Every thing is high except dry goods
flour, and provisions. Salt beef eight dollars per
Dbl; flour five dollars to eight dollars; clothing
cheaper than in Boston. Rents high; land thirty
five dollars per foot. For spot to pitch tent
upon, you must pay eighteen hundred to two thou
sand dollars per year. The Parker hotel rents for
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars year
Board twenty one dollars per week; washing six
dollars per dozen. The reason board is so high is
because it is difficult to get any one to do the
dollar and fifty cents per pound. Wages from six
teen to twenty dollars per day. Lumber three
hundred dollars to. four hundred and fifty dollars
per M. These the prices if you wish to buy. If
TO sell, they less. We have been offered three
hundred dollars per M. for our lumber. Saleratus
is very high The brig Forest sold what cost three
dollars, for one hundred and eighty seven dollars.
If you were not so well acquainted with me, you
would not believe these stories.
Several members of company have had of

IcoMMuNIcATEp.l

Little did the daughter of Pharaoh suppose when
she rescued the smiling babe from the ark of bull
rushes, by the rivers brink, that in her compassion
she had saved him who destined to lead the
Exodus of his people, and redeem them from the
servitude and cruelty of her own father and his
cessors.
Little did Moses anticipate, while he kept the
flock of the priest of Midiam that out of the midst
of the burning bush God should command him,
saying, "Come now, therefore, and | will send
thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth
my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt
and as little could he have anticipated that after
signs, and wonders, and plaques, and thunders
and thick darkness, and death the proud Egyptian
should be BUNDLED before him, and cry out in the
night, "Rise up, and get you forth from among
my people, both ye and the children of Israel"
From the execution of the command Moses
shrunk back, and said, 80 my Lord, am not elo-
quent, neither heretofore since thou hast spoken
unto thy servant but am slow of speech, and of a
slow tongue"-and he would fain have transferred
the honor and the glory to his brother Aaron, the
Levite, ''who speak well !" and whose eloquence
might persuade the king to let the Israelites go
forth.
God said to Moses-.sGo, ! will be with thy
mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say"
The courage and humanity of Moses had been
tested in staying the cruel Egyptian, and holding
at bay the rude and impudent shepherds who drove
from the well the daughters of Jethro, who kept
their fathers flock; and these were qualifications
which commended him for the high and holy en-.
terprise.
Instead of eloquence, God had given him in
domitable courage-instead of the Establishments
of the court, God had inspired him with the eternal
and immutable principles of right and wrong; and
in assurance Of his protection, gave him "the pill
lar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by
night and thus he led his people through the sea
and the wilderness, and, by force of example, pre-
pared them for the enjoyment of the Promised
Land
The above reflections have been superinduced by
the miserable attempts to detract from the fitness
of General Taylor to be President of our blessed
country, because he cannot discourse most hippan-
ly on all occasions attunc his voice like ancient
oratorcal tops to the notes of flute.
Little did the youthful lieutenant anticipate that
his noble defence of Fort Harrison was to be the
foundation of his future fame and that through the
storms of life in war; God would bring him out
unscathed, and set him in high places
We have the President of iron nervc--we have
the President who reveres our CONSTITUTIONS have
the President free from political cabals and COM
mitrnents--we have the President whose purity of
private life forms rich model for ourselves and
children; and may God continue to bless him
and preserve him, until through the progress of
his Administration, his prccepts and practice may
be known to all ST. CLAIR

LATER from Santa Fe-Fighr with the In
Gians.


We learn from Fort Leavenworth, by the Kan
ss, that John Phillips and James M. Clay, express
mail carriers from Santa Fe 10 Fort Leavenworth
have reached the latter post. They left Santa Fe
on the 18th August, and arrived at Fort Leaven-
worth the 4th instant, having been seventeen
days out.
BY this arrival have received, through the
medium of a friend at the fort, an extract from
official despatch, giving an account of fight be-
tween company of United States troops, and a
party of Apache Indians. We annex it:
Mo. Republican, l2M.
Los VEdos, August 10.
Sir: | have the honor to report that party
numbering about forty, of Apaches, came TO this
post to-day, with an evident design of committing
depredatons, should chance be presented, as wen
TO supply themselves with what powder and lead
they could obtain by barter, or otherwise. Many
of them were recognised as being the same Indians
who had so often falsely treated for peace III Taos
and this band was undoubtedly engaged in the
many murders and robberies committed during
the past year along this frontier.
i therefore determined TO seize this party, having
made no professions of friendship to them; and for
this purpose ordered command under Lieutenant
Burnside proceed to their camp, about half Il
mile from this place. The Indians were already in
the saddle and prepared for any emergency which
might arise after receiving from me abrupt dis
missal. Lieut.. Burnside, advancing within short
range of their arrows, halted his party in the hope
of recalling the Indians, who turning their horses
delivered flight of arrows and fled with speed
over the rough hills and rayines beyond Los Vegos.
A charge of sxirmishers Immediately ordered
by the Lieutenant who led his against the fly
ing but boldly resisting enemy. II is unnecessary
to mention the details of affair which was hand
o-hand conflict, the sabre being the only weapon
used with advantage by our people. Out of this
band, is supposed that but e ght ten warriors
escaped; six prisoners and three bodies have been
brought in, and many of the dead remain in the
ravines where they We're sabrcd
Thirteen animals, with their rude equipments,
have also been secured.
The pursuit followed some nine miles, over
a country almost impossible under less exciting
circumstances.
Lieutenant Burnside wounded (slightly) by
just below the ear; Lance Sergeant Am
brose, severely, by an arrow passing completely
through his left forearm; and Pat. Meader received
painful confusion below the eye, from the end of
a lance. II. b. JUDD, Bvt. Capt, U. S. A.

10 Make Good Coffee.

First procure the best coffee In the mar
ket; wash 1t very clean, and roast it to the
color OF golden brown, but not deeper
shade, by any means. Then take the
whites OF three eggs to each pound of cof-
fee, mix very carefully with the coffee
while warm, and Immediately transfer to
earthen vessels, tying them over with blad-
ders to render them air tight. Take from
these vessels sufficient coffee for one ma
king only at time; grind it, place it in a
fine muslin bag, suspend it about midway
IN the pot, turn on the boiling water, and
put on the cover to prevent the escape of
steam. By this mode the coffee will be
very strong, but it is best to reduce it by
the addition of boiling-hot milk, when it
will form a most delicious beverage, very
different, indeed, from that which is pro-
duced by boiling the ground coffee in wa
ter. And 10 be convinced of the fact, that
by the above method, which is simply in
fusion, all the virtues of the coffee may be
obtained, it is only 20 take the dregs left in
the bag, and boil them in water for con-
siderable time; the result will be, black,
bitter, nauseous, feverish, woods extract,
without trace of the fine flavor of coffee,
and answering to the name by which ii
was known on its first introduction into
use, according to the account published in
the eighth volume of the ''Harlean Miscel-
lany," namely, "the devils black broth!''

coction. Who ever thinks of boiling tea!

The Rust in Wheat.

The following remarks from the Annu-
al Report of the st John IN. b. Agricul-
tural Society, as to one of the causes of
rust in wheat, are thrown out rather as a
supposition than an opinion, with the view
of exciting inquiry.
The oat draws nutriment from the earth,
by side roots, which spread over the
gronnd. The wheat plant has similar
rootlets, but, IN addition thereto, when a.
bout to head, sends down a tap root into
the earth, for the purpose, it may be pre-
sumed, of procuring the additional untri-
ment which lis large, rich ear requires,
and this tap root has been known to 90
down to the depth of four feet. We may
observe that up to the time of sendidg down
the tap root, the wheat is the hardest and
thrlftlest of all the cereals, but afterwards
the most liable to disease. This delicacy
Is accounted for, when we cnnsider that
land is generally undrained; that no more
than few inches of soil get the benefit OF
sun, air and manure; and that therefore
the root Must encounter, in its downward
travel, nothing but disappointment. |,
come IN contact with the cold clay, or a
wet subsoil, turns back in despair, and dies.
In accordance with the laws of nature, in
sects, or rust, which is itself fungus, or
vegetable insect, come to finish the work
OF devastation on the dying plant. The
forlorn farmer rails at the climate and cries
out that his wheat is killed by rust, while
III fact, it has died from starvation-from
the want of that food, which as provi-
dent husbandman, it was his duty to have
provided for it.
