ship of the whites, have recently commit
ted several acts of hostility. AS large
portion of the reinforcements sent to the
Mexican frontier were drawn from the
Pacific, the military force now stationed
there is considered entirely inadequate to
its defence. 1t cannot be increased, how
ever, without an increase of the army
and l again recommend that measure as
indispensable to the protection of the
frontier.
invite your attention to the suggestions on this
subject, and on others connected with his Depart
ment, in the report of the Secretary of War.
The appropriations for the support of the army
during the current fiscal year ending SOth June
next, were reduced far below the estimate submit
ted by the Department. The consequence of this
reduction is q considerable deficiency, to which
invite your early attention.
The expenditures of that Department, for the
year ending Both June last, were S9,O60,2ss So.
The estimates for the year commencing lst July
next and ending June 3O,1s53 are s7,ses,775 SO;
showing reduction of 81 ,l6l ,492 10.
The Board of commissioners, to whom the man
agement of the affairs of the Military Asylum Gre
ated by the act of Sd March last was entrusted,
have selected site for the establishment Of an
Asylum in the vicinity of this city, which has been
approved by me, subject to the production of a
satisfactory title.
The report ofthc Secretary of the Navy will ex-
hiJit the condition the public service under the
supervision of that Department. Our naval force
aAoat during the present year has been actively
and usefully employed in giving protection to our
widely extended and increasing commerce and
interests in the various quarters of the globe, and
our flag has everywhere afforded the seccrity and
received the respect inspired by the Justice aid

Death of an Aged Indian.

OLD BUcKTooTH, very aged Indian, expired
n few days since at his residence, short dis
tance below the mouth of the Little Valley Creek,
in Cattaraugus county. He was the last, with
the exception of Gov Blacksnake, of the aged
Indians who have fingered so long in the land
Of the living. One by one, like our own fathers
of the Revolution, have the Indian chieftains
passed away, and soon the last will be on his
way to the esprit land The following notice
of Bucktooth from the pen of Hon. S. A. Brown,
recently appeared in the jamestown Journal

railroad meeting at Olean, curiosity induced us

Singular Phenomena.

A curious incident occurred here New Y ork)
yesterday. You are no doubt aware that for
some months past number of men have been
engaged in recovering things from the wreck of
the British frigatc Huzzar, which was lost at
Hellgate, in the East River, during the rcvolu-
tionary war. The object is to get at a large
sum of money which it is said was in that yes
sci at the time of her loss. Various articles,
such as bottles, cannon balls, bombshells, &C.,
have been brought to light.
1 had in my hand yesterday, small bomb
shell or hand grenade, which came from that
vessel, and being anxious to know if the pow
der which was in it had retained its virtue, l
broke it and empticd its contents on a news
paper. 1t had an odor of burned gunpowder,
and in a few minutes after it was exposed, it
became warm soon it emitted n smoke, and at
length it burned through the paper. Fearing
an explosion threw water on it, This is q
curious fact, and worthy attention.

General Lopez.
AN INCIDENT IN HIS LIFE.


Some of the zealots in the Cuban cause are
endcavoring to magnify General Lopez into an
extraordinary hero. He is no doubt a brave
in;p' but judging from his history thus far, he
! = : Etolf rHnkless and discreet The Savannah
News one of his warrnest admirers, relates
quite thrilling incident in his history =
at is stated that during the celebrated Car
list war in Spain, General Lopez and about
seven hundred others were taken prisoners and
carried to Cantavieja, a fortifeation among the
mountains of Arragon. The Governor of the
castle was said to have been a heartless wretch
revelling in bloody massacres and delighting in
acts of torture. During the dreadful confne-
ment of these prisoners, the royal army COM
manded by General San Miguel marched to
Cantavicja, for the purpose of raising the siege
The place was defended admirably by nature,
in narrow defile of the mountains; but the
Spanish General, undismayed by the apparent
impregnability of the fortress, continued to be-
siege it, until evidences of his success were soon
discovered by his enemies. The Governor there
upon resolved upon a scheme which could only
have entered the mind of tyrant in whose
eyes the sight of blood was a qualification. He
from General Lopez down, and requested the
General to notify San Miguel of his intention,
hoping by this threat to stop the siege. Lopez
announced this bloody resolution in his letter,
but requested General San Miguel not to allow
this threat to interfere with the prosecution of
the siege. The Governor, finding that the let
ter produced no effect, and that the works were
rapidly advancing to consummation, announced
TO his prisoners that he had ordered their exc
cution but that he would allow Lopez to go to
San Miguel in person, and explain the circum-
stances in which they were placed, first recei-
wing his word of honor to sturn after delivering
the message.
Lopez was soon in the midst of San Migucl's
troops, who hailed his appearance with great
demonstrations of joy. He explained the threat
of the Governor, discussed the plans for the
siege, gave all the information he possessed as
to the weakest points of the fortifcation, and
then rose up to return TO his fate San Miguel
objected; the army loudly opposed his going
from their midst to be put to death by the bru-
tai Governor; but the noble Lopez overcame all
their entreatics, and surrounded by his sorrow
ing but admiring friends, he bade them all q
kind farewell, wishing them success, even though
he himself might be the sacrifice! The siege
proceeded vigorously, for San Miguel knew that
he could only save Lopez and the other prison
| ers by accomplishing his purposes with as much
speed as his means would allow.
The Governor and those defending the castle
had no time left to put their prisoners to death,
as they were kept in constant occupation with
the work of resistance and defence. The town
was soon taken. The Governor and the garri-
son were dismayed; but Lopez, the patriot and
the hero, with his gallant band, were saved.

The PeriIS of the Ocean.

The foreign correspondent of the Detroit
Advertiser, who has returned to his native
land, after perilous passage across the Allan

encountered when on ship-board:-
" Although L am well satisfied and much
gratified with my journey to the Old World, as
1t is generally termed, yet l cannot advise 9TH
ers to encounter the ills, perplexities and haz-
ards, which are unavoidable on a sea-voyage of
that nature, out of mere curiosity, for we were
frequently enveloped in such dark and impene-
trablc fogs and mists, that we barely escaped a
collision with two large vessels, also filed with
cmigrants, which, in consequence of head winds,
were standing on different tack from us, and
did not discover each other until they had ap-
preached within few yards

REVOLUTION IN ITALY.-There is a general i'm
preston, among the observant minds in Europe,
that Italy is again on the eve of violent and
sanguinary revolution. Almost every foreign
newspaper that we read-every one which dares
to intimate its opinions-is full of forebodings
as to some great trouble at hand. Even the
conservative papers of London and Paris do not
suppress their fears, and the silent military
preparations of Austria show that the Govern
ments arc not unaware of what is in the wind.
American travellers, recently returned from
Europe, with whom the editor of the New York
Post has conversed, bring with them the Same
conviction.

| would not die in Spring time,
When worms began to crawl;
When cabbage plants are shooting up,
And frogs begin to squall
'Tis then the girls are full of charms,
And smile upon the men;
When lamb and peas in their prime
would not perish then.
| would not die in Summer,
When trees are filled with fruit
And every sportsman has gun,
The little birds to shoot.
The girls then wear their Bloomcr dress,
And half distract the men,
1t is the time to sweat it out

l would not die in Autumn
When new-mown hay smells sweet,
And little pigs are roofing round
For something nice to eat
'Tis then the huntsman's wild halloo,
Is heard along the glen,
And oysters gin to fatten up
l would not perish then.
| would not die in Winter
For one might freeze to death;
When clustering Boreas sweeps around,
And takes away ones breath.
When sleigh bells jingle-horses snort,
And buckwheat cakes are tall;
In fact: this is right good world,
