Eds Crescent-In perusng the columns of your valuable
and widely circulated journal this morning, noticed com.
municaton signed " H'engishman,' calling attention to
fancy sketch written by me- and published on the 9Th in the
Crescent relative the battle OF New Orleans wherein the
British most gorously defeated on that memorable &C.
cason. He to think that impossible that great
man Gen. Packenham could be guilty of using the kind
of language that attributed him during our interview
Now H'engshman is under the impression that as Gen.
Rockingham born Ishman he would have been more
apt to have used the Irish pronunciation than that the Eng.
fish, must confess that the time very much sur
psed to hear him pronounce the English language well
he did, being that lie born in Ireland; and during
our conversation at that time recoect very well said,
Gen. Paekenham, how is it that you lrshnan, pro-
nounce the English language well?'' Oh, said he,
you must know that was young man when left
Ireland and joined the armyr Well ''said l. General
how is it that good scholar and always substitute
an O. instead of H. ?for instance, you would say an orse
vent into the ouse and tied hup, and very he
onued and led out by the alter and arneed the wagon
when he started off without yippng him. " for said
have never such words in your English dictionary
" englishman believes that it possible that the
conversation he had with the sentinel could have been used
such as, Awr sentinel, have you polished my boos
For could think very surprising that such Ian.
guage or any other kind should have been used the
the sentinel else; for when he read the communca
uon handed 10 him from Gen. Jackson he did appear
be IN the least surprised although the hour appointed by
him to fight the battle with the Americans. And, again,

the habit oil visiting some OF public places in the city,

New YoRK-IAe Governors 1fessage.-The
annual message Of the Governor of New York has
been delivered, and is published. The telegraph
gives US some items. At the close of the fiscal
year, ending on the Both of September, it appears
from the message, that the debt of the State, in
GLIDING all liabilities, was 500, S95,O00. The ag-
gregate revenue during the past year was S. 1885,
000 The message, represents the circulation Of
all the Banks sound, but argues that the supply
of State stocks is insufficient for banking basis.
The message also urges the necessity of having a
mint established in the city for purposes of conVe-
nience to the State and the whole country.

GOLDEN PRosPEcTs OF Col. FREMoNT-The
last Philadelphia News contains letter from
Washington, stating that "letters have been re-
ceived by Mr. Benton from Col. Fremont, in which
the interchangeable exporator states, that upon piece
of ground purchased by him, near the bay of San
Francisco, a gold mine has been discovered, which
in magnitude and wealth exceeds anything of the
kind ever found in California. 1t is not placer
but natural mine, in which the virgin mineral is
concealed in all its purity, without being dffused
by volcanic action throughout whole acres, and los
in the sands of the surface. Cooley, Preuss ant

him on his tour thither, the conductors of the
mine, and are now, according to these letters, roll

10 The body of Henry H. Schultz was found
dead recently near Charleston. 1t seems that he
was accidentally killed while out a-gunning. The
Mercury states that the deceased was found by
means of his own dog, which was with his master
when he was shot, and remained with fidelity by
his body for two days. The wife had been
anxiousy in search of her husband in the woods
almost whole day, and failing to find him, in the
agony of her distress she screamed aloud, calm 2

heard the CALL and came to her, and on being told
to carry her to his master, Immediately led the way
to the spot where he lay corpse.

WIRE WALKING.-Herr Downey attempted the
novel feat of crossing the Savannah river on a
wire, on New Year, day. He had made some pro-
gress to the opposite shore, when his wire, which
was not stretched tight enough, began to vibrate,
and thereupon Herr d. was straightway soused
into the river. volunteer, who appeared to be a
sailor, next attempted to go over hand over hand,
using his feet at the time, but the wire fast
nings on the opposite shore either gave way, or
some wag cut them loose, and he, poor fellow, was
soused in like manner. Thus ended the trials of
the day.

~ The Panama railroad is attracting attention
at Paris and London, and the position in relation to
ID is taken, that to fulfil its object it must be made
neutral passage for all nations, without distinction

% which the contracting parties should not only be
New Grenada and the United States, but France,
England and Russia, whose territories are bounded
on the West as well ON the East, by the Pacific

without delay.

LATER FROM MINNESOTA. - The ST. Paul
Pioneer of the 2Sth November, which has inst
reached us, informs that the elections for county
officers in the several counties of that Territory
terminated in the election of the candidates of the
Peoples party, which was the only organization
opposed to the democrats The Pioneer gives the
returns OF Ramsey county, from which we learn
that Day, wing, chosen Register by the follow
ing vote: Day, 2l1 Phillips, democrat, 90. The
rest OF the ticket ran pretty much in this way. In
Washington county, the Pioneer says: "the Wings
have majority of six" This election is purely a
triumph of the Peoples party.
The Winnebago Indians are represented to be in
destitute and necesstous condition, exposed to the
hardships of Northwestern winter, with slender
means of sustenance. The Pioneer saws of them
d" The poor wretches are represented to be abso-
lutely destitute of food Congress ought to appro-
pirate money for their immediate relief If not
aided, they must plumber die They have been
striving to go down the river for months now; and
60 they must, or live by pillagng One night last
week one or two hundred of them, who had come
down to the Falls of St. Anthony and made port
age of their canoes around the Falls, hoated down
under the guns of Fort Smelling, and glided by ST.
Paul in the night, within a stones throw Of the
Secretarys office and are their way to their
old homes below"
There appears to be considerable doubt enter
tanned in the Territory about the construction Of
that portion of the act of Congress organizing the
Territory, which relates the grant OF $4,000 for
the purpose OF erecting the necessary buildings at
the capital of the Territory. The seat of govern
ment has not been fixed permanently as yet, and it
is thought that the appropriation cannot be used
until that takes place. A letter from Mr.. Mere
dith, the Secretary of the Treasury appears in the
Pioneer. The Secretary interprets the act above
| stated.
