A TowS SITE Losr IN THE CAUSE.-THE per-
sons employed in taking the census, writing to
the Dubuque Tribune from Fayette county.
Iowa, relate the following characteristic anec-
dote:
awhile crossing one Of the extensive prairies
that stretch along the southern border of Fayette
county, upon which the grass and vegetation
had grown to the hei.h of four or five feet,
then scared and yelowed 10y the autumnal frosts,
we were suddenly started BY the voice Of n per
son shouting "lI,Ilo, there, stranger, did you
come from this here course" Turning In the
direction Ct the voice, We discovered the head of
person ust peerng above the tall grass, while
the arm was extended in a southern drectien
We answered afiirmati,ely, when the man con-
tuued: Well, stranger, did you see any thing
Of town site in your travels, slantng little
towards the sun, it'll Dustin spring coming
out right by the side of a boulder! found one
down in these parts last spring before the vege.
tation was up and I've been looking for it again
close on to two DAYS, and, by thunder | cant
find it" We answered that we had not discov-
cred his lost site, when he continued "WeIl,
stranger, reckon I'll have to give it up till the
grass burns, and if you'll let me ride behind into
the settlement, Ill make you a deed to a lot
fronting on the public square, as soon as get
my land warrant squatted on Ewpre City"
Not being the owner of any town property, we
accepted the Offer"

TEHuANrEPEc SuRvEv.-A party OF engineers,
headed by jor Barnard, with twenty five men,
boatmen, axemen, rodmen, chain-carrers, &c,
were to have embarked on board the steamship
Alabama, at New Orleans, for Vera Cruz, on the
10th inst, for the purpose Of surveying the 18TH
mus and tracing the railroad. They form only
pioneering party, which, as the work advances.
will be enlarged in numbers A passport had
been received from the Department OF State at
Washington, taking under its auspices and secur
ing protection to Major Barnard and his corps, i'll
the expedition on which they have set out, and Il
similar document had been received from the Su-
lister Of Foreign Affairs, addressed to the Govern
ment Of the United States, and accompanied by
copies of orders issued to the governors and mill
tary commandans Of the states of Vera Cruz and
of Oajaca, directing them to extend every hosp
tality and facility to the engineering party refer

On the death of Solomon, all Israel assembled
and demanded reduction of the enormous
taxes Rehoboam refused - he rejected the
counsel of the old statesmen, the men of '9s, as
Mr.. CALHOUN said, and took counsel of the
young politicians, and threatened to increase the
burthens. So the peOplo answered, as the South
now does, " What portion have we in David ?
Neither I'VE we inheritance in the son of Jesse.
70 your tents o Is H." And the Union was
ssoyed. And when King Rehoboam under
took to raise an army to "see that the la,cs pere
faithfully erecuted," to preserve that Union by
force instead of justice, a prophet of the Lord
was sent to forbid him.
We think if Messrs. BUTLER, Cox, and
HAWKS, had been as attentive to the writings of
Moses, as to the speeches of Clay and CAss,
they might have preached in a more instruc-
tive manner about the character of politi-
cal Union and the way to preserve it.

Speech of Hon. VIM. b. Shepard of North

We insert to-day this able and important
speech Mr. SHEPARD is an ex-mcmber of
Congress, who had retired from public life. He
is Wing, and Wing of North Carolina, a
State remarkable for quetude of temper and
opinion. But this State has manifested more
sensbility a to the recent measures of Con-
gress, than Virginia Mr.. SHEPARD, it seems
has arrived at the same opinion as to The two
political parties and their organs, that has of
late become so general at the South.

The HUNGARIAN REFuGEEs.-The Hunga-
rians in Turkey, we are glad to learn, will soon
be liberated. Kossuth will 90 to London, ard
Count Bathiany and Mr.. Perrrel to Paris. The
Emperor Of Austria has so far reented towards
Hungary as to grant full pardon to all the
Hungarian officers who will join the corps be-
fore the end Of March.

From, the Bosfon Atlas.

This State is Wing State, but Massachusetts,
Whiggery is not pro-slavery Whiggery. 1t is
not Fugitive slave law Whggery. Slavery and
the slave law may be popular in Georgia, but
they are not so in Massachusetts.
Any party in Massachusetts that attempts to run
contrary to the earnest and conscientious con.
victious of our people, in regard to slavery
that attempts to foist upon them a set of doc
trines which they abhor, under the specous plea
that fealty to the Constitution demands it of
them, or by any other plea, will go down to the
dust, "unwept, uahonored, and unsurg" Mas
sachusetts will ever maintain her distinctive
character. Her people are Unon-loving, law
abiding, liberty-loving people.

Jenny Lind.

We stepped into the National Hall, formerly
the National Theatre, on Saturday evening last,
and found large concour of the residents and
visitors of Washington, looking at the prepare
tons made for the Concert tonight
The Hall is elegantly illuminated with about
two hundred gas lights, and although the repairs
are not completed, enough has been done to
accommodate comfortably, as many as the house
can hold Much credit is due to Messrs. Rec
SIDE & Co. for the promptitude and energy with
which, at such short notice, they have put the
building in readiness-and we congratulate the
city that so fine Hall has been provided for
public assemblies.
The JENNY LIND excitement has, we believe,
taken full effect here, as well as elsewhere.
The slavery question, President making, and
log rolling, are all for the time being submerged
in the general anxiety to hear the wonderful
musical enchantress.
The trumphs of music in subduing brutes, in
tanning savagts, in stilling the elements, in res
cuing mortals from the shades below, in raising
them to the skies, and in bringing angels down,
have been rected in the highest strains of poetry
but here is the great modern mistress Of that
mighty and mysterious art that minglcs soul and
sense, and if she can charm into moderation and
duty, the spir ts of fanatcism, of ambition and
avarice, that gather to the Capitol like the winds
in the cave of Eolus, she will win greater tri-
umph for the minstrelsy of the Baltic, than was
ever achieved on the SUMNER shores of the Medi'
terranean.
We understand that the President and Cabinet
and Mr.. CLAY also, will attend, which we regard
rs exceedingly fortunate, as their late effort at
harmony-the Compromise-has been such
signal failure, we know Of no set Of gentlemen
more in need of some lessons from competent
teacher of the art. As for the old party organs,
we don't lelieve that even JENNY LIND can
bring such creaking Instruments into tune.

proposed to charter their services for single

the bargains by advancing a portion of the pay

A Great Opera House is about to be erecte

A Great Opera House is about to be erected
in New York, on plot Of ground recently pur-
chased from the Stuyvesant heirs, for the SUN
of $4,000. 1t is intended to erect thereon a
splendid opera house, covering the entire space,
capable Of seating five or six thousand persons,
and having entrances on each of the four sides,
so that the greatest crowds can be dismissed or
received speedily and without danger. The
building will be four or five times as large as
the present opera house in New York. 1t is to
cost not less than 100000, and to be equal to
the first class opera houses ofLondon and Paris
There are two names, the Tribune says, rumored
in connection with the nterprise--Lumley, OF
London and Paris, and MART, the head of the
Italian Company 1t is understood that the
great London manager, Lumley, is the man and
that he intends to put New York on par with
the European capitals in musical celebrity.

HE DEAD ALIVE OR TRUTH STRANGER THAN
Fiction. Robert Shean, resident of Middle
town, IN this county, was on board the Anthony
Wayne at the time she blew up on Lake Erie,
last April After that dreadful catastrophe bod v
was found floating on the lake which answered his
description, and no doubts were entertained tina,
he had lost his life by the explosion and that the
body which had been found was his. The body
was taken and buried in one of the church yards
Of Sandusky city. A large circle Of friends, to
whom he was endeared during life, and who sore
ly lamented his untimely death, raised subscrp-
ton among tn smseves, and erected over his sup
posed grave a suitable monument to his commem.

Judge Of their surprise when, about two weeks
since, the actual Robert Shean made his appear
ance III their midst, Il living, moving being, in
good health, but covered with Judge of
the welcome which he received when they were
really convinced that it was indeed him. One &C.
tually having risen from the dea , could not
have met a more heartfelt, Joyous reception.
Orders were promptly despatched to Sandusky
City to have the monument removed from his sup
posed grave.
1t appears that when the Anthony Wayne
blew up he was severity scalded but cinging to
piece Of the wreck, he foated upon the lake until
he was taken up by vessel and carried to De-
troit He lay under medical treatment at Detroit
for long while, but having at length recovered
he repaired to Sandusky City. In examining the
grave yards, with view of ascertaining who on
board the Anthony Wayne had persisted, he read
the inscription on the monument which his friends
had erected to his memory. His surprise on
return. He Immediately returned to his friends
for the purpose of assuring them that he was still
among the living. "Truh is stranger than fc-

Strange PHENoMENoN.--An English brig, the
