THE CONTINENT.


The whole Of continental Europe seems
ready 10 burst into one general conGagration.
The quarrel between The parIismcnts ,hro'
ont all the various divisions Of Germany,
and their respective princes, has reached the
highest pitch, and in Saxony, frighiful
conflict has already taken place. At Dres~
den the people, or rather the Red Reputh.
can party, fought with the troops during Sc
ven hours on The 5th inst, and great loss
Of lie occurred. The railroads were dis.
placed in order TO prevent troops from Ber-
lin from arriving, bat sufficient force Of
Psussians having GENE up opportunity, a
momentary tranquility WIS secured through
sheer military force. The fight, however
was renewed on the 9Th, and frigmfu
cannonading lasted all day until night sepa>
rated tho combatants. On the 7lh the bat
tie was again renewed at o'clock in The
morning, and the most deadly warfare was
going on in the streets BY the latest advices
up to six O'clock Of that day. Intelligence
from Dresden to the 9Th states that hcstili-
ties still ragged between the Ioyalists and the
insurgents, 10 the disadvantage Of the latter
without any immediate prospect Of their
termination.
The members Of the Provincial govern
ment had been oullawed, and rewards olfe-
red for their apprehension. At Leipsie al
so, disturbances had broken out. After a
short struggle between the military and the
populace, they were suppressed, and sever.
al of the rioters were killed. Accounts from
Berlin of the 8th, state that an Instruction
had broken out at Bresizu on the 9th. and
on the 7th, the troops and the people were
lighting in the city. Ii was also rumored
that an instruction had broken out at Cob.

friend Col. Claiborne, near Saves crevas-
sc, are some four fost under water. Night
before last veteran alligator from st. Tam
many corcuded to pay the Colonel i visit
in friendly way, and congratulate him as
a bro .hJr democrat ON the nomination Of
Walker and blanche. Taking his course
quietly through the cornieIds and pastures,
he thought it would be polite to call at the
cabin of the driver" or head man, and in
quire if the Colonel was at home.
Finding the door closed, he walked un>
der the house aud beloved halo at the
top of his voice. Getting 40 answer, he
commenced laundering Aoundering and
dumping, lifting up the flooring, and scat
terinE the litle 'niggers' in every direction.
The hubhub soon reused The sleepers.-
They jumped out of bed in terrible stew,
raked up light, and at the same moment
were seen springing among the ratlers, the
visitor underneath liftng up one plank and
then another, ilinging the whole crowd Off
their legs as fast as they could straighten
them out.
Such scene of confusion was never
Witnessed. The darklcs were completely
bewildered, and their outcries soon drew
the whole establishment together. The
pIanks were drawn up. and there was
not old Nick-but fellow much uglier, a
tremendous Alligator, with expanded jaws,
shaking his monstrous tai in defiance, and
sweeping it round in rapid semicirces.
The instant he was discovered, two huge
dogs leaped upon him, but tie contest did
not last for moment.
One he struck dead with his sweeping
tail, the other he cranched between lis
bloody jaws. But by this Time the negroes
got their dander up, and they rushed upon
him with axes, mauls, and bludgeons.--
The monster stood his ground and never
said die until one of them thrust burn
ing brand down his letid throat. He is of
enormous girth, and measures over 10 feet

rived IN port yesterday, and states that he
picked up bottle floating upon the lake,

The paper was handed to US for inspection

written upon it with pencil, part of which

RINGING FOR HIS BOOTS.

On late trip of the New England, No.
2, there were two verdant young men from
Old Virginia, Shenandoa county, who occu-
! pied state room 20, and were bound for Ca
! lifornia.
They came on board at Pittsburgh, and
brought their gold-washer, shovel and pick,
took their state room and deposited their
plumber.
The boat went on her way quietly, oc-
casonally giving a note or two on her steam
whistle, which made the two unterrifed of

turned in for the night.
About half after six in the morning, the
engine bell rang TO work her slow. She
worked on few minutes, and the bells
rang to back. She commenced backing,
and had backed about a hundred yards,
when the pilot rang to go ahead. Ahead
she shot, and had made quarter of mile

that the Neapo!itans were marching upon

and had taken several prisoners. This

LIFE AMONG THE BOSTON ARIsToCRAcY.

1t was a cold winter night, and the wind
whistled shrill through the bare limbs of
the giant trees that lined the wall. The
ground was covered with snow, upon whose
surface the light of the moon fell with daz-
zling splendor, studding the incrusted
ground with brilliant diamonds. AS the
old south clock, struck nine, young
man, wrapped in his cloak, sought the
shade of the large trees in the park from
whence he watched the coming of the nu-
merous carriage loads of gaily dressed peO-
pie of both sexes, who entered one of the
princely houses on Beacon street, Through
the richly stained-glass windows, the gor-
geous light issued in steady flood accom-
panied by the thrilling tones of music from
full band; the house. Illuminated at eve
rv point, seemed crowded with gay and
happy spirits. The stranger still contem-
plated the scene-his cloak, which until
now had enveloped the lower part of his
features, had fallen, discovering a face of
manly beauty-a full dark eye, with arch
ing brows and short curling hair, as black
as the ravens plumage, set off to great ad-
vantage his Grecian style of leature-a be-
coming mOustache curled about his mouth,
giving decided classic appearance to his
whole face. The naval button on his cap
showed that he belonged to that branch of
our national defence.

crossing over to the gay scene, he entered

ded his coat and cloak to a servant, and
unannOunced, mingled with the beauty and
fashion that thrOnged the rooms. Grad

HOPE.

The world may change from old to new,
From new to old again;
Yet hope and heaven, for ever true,
With mans heart remain,
The dreams that bless the weary soul,
The struggles Of the strong,
Are steps towards some happy goal,
The story OF Hopes song
Hope leads the child to plant the flower,
The man to sow the seed
Nor leaves fulhlment to her hour,
But propts again to deed.
And ere upon the old mans dust
The grass is seen TO wave,
We look through fallen tears--tO trust
Hopes sunshine on the grave.
Oh no lii is no hattering lure,
No fancy, weak or fond,
When hope would bid US rest secure,
In better life beyond
Nor loss nor shame, nor grief nor sin,
Her promise may gainsay;
The voice divine hath spoke within,
And God did ne'er btray. d. h
