A FOX'S Revenge.

The Rev. J. Murry, in his work on
Creation, tells the following story:
" An old and respectable man of the
county Of Montgomery, used frequently
to relate an anecdote of circumstance
which he saw. In his youth he resided
on the banks of the Hudson river. One
day he went to a bay on the river in or
der to shoot ducks or wild geese. When
he came to the river he saw six geese be-
yond shot. He determined to watt for them
to approach the shore While sitting
there, he saw fox come down to the shore
and stand some time and observe the
geese. At length he turned and went
into the woods and came out with very
large bunch of moss in his mouth. He
then entered the water very silently,
sank himself, and then keeping the moss
above the water, himself concealed, he
foated among the geese. Suddenly one
of them was drawn under the water and
the fox soon appeared on the shore with
the goose on his back. He ascended the
bank and found a hole, made by the
tearing up of tree. This hole he clear
ed, placed in the goose, and covered it
with great care, strewing leaves over it..
The fox then left; and while he was gone,
the hunter unburied the goose, closed
the hole, and resolved to await the issue.
In about half an hour the fox re-
turned with another in company. They
went directly to the place where the
goose had been buried, and threw out
the earth. The goose could not be found.
They stood regarding each other for some
time, when suddenly the second fox at
tackled the other most furiously, as if of
Tended by the trick of his friend. During
the battle he shot then both"

Taylor took the sash and examined it at
tentively. 1t was of unusual size, being
quite as large, when extended, as COM
mon hammock. In the meshes of the
splendid red silk that composed it, was
the date of It's manufacture, I707,' and
although it was one hundred and forty
years old, save where the dark spots that
were stained with the blood of the hero
who wore it, it glistened as brightly as if
it had just come from the loom.
Upon the unusual size of the sash be-
ing noticed, Gen. Worth who had joined
the party in the tent, mentioned that such
was the old fashioned style; and that
tho soldiers sash was intended to carry,
if necessary, the wearer from off the
battle field. 1t was mentioned in the
conversation, that after general Ripley
was wounded at Lundy's Lane, his sash,
similar in form, was used as hammock
to bear him from the field, and that in
it he was carried several miles, his body
swaying to and fro between the horses, to
which the ends of the sash were securely
fastened. To wounded soldier no con-
veyance could be more grateful, or more
appropriate.
"Gen. Taylor broke the silent admi-
ration, by saying he would not receive
the sash. Upon our expressing surprise,
he continued, that he did not think he
should receive presents until the cam
paign, so far as he was concerned, was
finished. He elaborated on the i'm
propriety of naming children after liv-
ing men, fearing lest the thus hon
oredE1i ght disgrace their namesakes.-
We urged his acceptance of the present +;
and he said, finally, that he would put it
carefully away in his military chest, and
if he thought he deserved SO great COM
pliment, at the end of the campaign, he
would acknowledge the receipt.
The stirring events that have trans
pired since he made that remark have
added the laurels of Monterey to those
he then wore, as well as the donors OF
that sash, will insist upon his acceptance
of it.
"Since writing the above, the old chief
tain himself has passed from the living
to the dead He died-a singular coin
cidence-on the anniversary of the terri
bic event, the defeat of Braddock. But
few weeks previous to his death the au-
thor then on a visit to Washington, free
ly conversed with the distinguished chief
tain upon the very subject about which
we have been writing. He said that the
sash referred to was still in his possession,
and at any time we desired it would have
it shown. Knowing that matters Of
state pressed heavily upon him, we did
not ask it at that time and thus, perhaps,
the opportunity has been lost forever
certainly deprived of one of its most in
teresting features to be seen in the hands
Of Gen. Taylor. During the interview
referred to he spoke much and frequent
ly of Westinghouse early operation in
the West, and inquired whether any Of
the remains of Fort Necessity could be

Ear. Summers Speech.

In advance of Mr.. Summers visit to Pc
tersburg, we made an effort to procure the
services Of an accomplished stenographer.
in order that we might lay before our rea-
ders a literal report of his speech. We
now more bitterly than ever regret our fail
ure to procure reporter. Never before
was such an impression made on any
community by a speech, and we wish
from the bottom ofour heart that every
voter in the Commonwealth could have
heard it. Already the effects of his speech
are manifest, for more than one Demo-
crat has avowcd his purpose to vote for
Mr.. Summers while, without single
exception, all the Democracy with whom
we haze conversed have frankly admitted
that it was idle to charge Mr. Summers
with beins an Additions. in any sense
of the word, for he was as true to the
rights Of the South as any man within its
limits. Without an exception they have,
in the language OF Mr. Wallace, admitted
that he was "a noble fellow. a gentleman
and unexceptionahle in every thing ex-
ccpt being q Wing" To say noihag of
Mr.. Summers great powers of argument
and eioquence of locution, his bearng was
so gcnilemanly. courteous and concil;a-

From Oregon.

The accounts from Astoria come down
to about the LIST of October.
We have news of another treaty having
been concluded by Mcssrs. Parish, Spald-
ing and Dart with the Indians on the south
crn boundary of Oregon The section of
country purchased by this treaty is said to
be equal to tine Willamette Valley. Ii is
thought that the terms are such as to Sc
cure the peace of the Indians in future.
The Oregon papers contains full ac-
count ofthe unfortunate expedition Of Mr..
T'Vault and party, by which five persons
We're massaereed by the Indians. The af.
fair took place near the mouth of the CO.
guile river. The party We're attempting
to find road from Port Oxford to the
mines. Mr.. T'Vault is in Oregon city land
designs to fit out a new expedition immc-
diately.
We again have reports ofdiscovcries OF
gold in Oregon. 1t is stated by persons
who have explored the country that gold
has b cen found near Saddle mountain,
which is plainly seen from almost any
point near the mouth Of Columbia river, il
being about fifty miles southeas, Of Astoria.
It's also stated that gold has been found
north of Puget's Sound, on the coast range
IN several places. and that parties are now
fitting out for mining operations in that re-
glon. 1t thus appears (says the Oregon
lan) that gold exists along the whole line
of the Coast Range, from the ella ri, err,
IN Southern California. to Queen Char.
lo'te's Island, north of the boundary line
OF Oregon; to what extent is yet unknown,
