Hor SPRISG.-One Of the members Of the
Mexican boundary commission, writing from
Santa Rita, New Mexico TO the Providence
Journal, thus describes spring discovered on
the I'd Of May
Having heard of remarkable shot spring
few miles from our road, all that were mounted
determined TO visit, and on leaving camp struck
off into the plain, in straight direction for il.
ride Of about five miles brought us to the
spot, which was indicated by hill about 600
feet in circumference at its base, and about
thirty or forty feet high, which was formed
entirely by the deposits made by the waters of
the spring. On the summit of this hill was a
basin twenty feet in diameter, containing the hot
water, the surface Of which was six or eight feet
below the top of the basin.
The temperature of the water was found To he,
l25 degrees, and Of course so hot, that the hand
could not be borne in it. DR.. Webb collected
the gas which hubbled up from the bottom, and
found il to be neither hydrogen or carbonic acid
gas. His conclusion, therefore. WINS that II was
purely atmospheric air. The water was pleasant
to the taste, and wonld be palateabe il cooled
At one side Of the hill small spring burst out.
and at short distance where II collected in a
pool, the winter was cool enough to bathe in but
even then it was literally hot bath

| NAVIGATING THE CASCADES IN OREeor--A
correspondent Of ore Of the Oregon papets
| gives the following sketch of perious DESCENT
OF the cascades of the Columbia river:
| Yesterday, an accident occurred, BY which il
became necessary for Justin Chenowith, M.
Watkins, myself and an Indian, 10 navigate
these curious waters. In making our landinp
ut the usual place, with heavy fat, losdcd
with plank "a swell drove us 80 far that We saw
at once we could rot get back again. We then
tried to make an eddy below, and come SO near
as to hand our rope to the Indians on shore.
They immediately made fast, but the rope par
ted and we had our tickets for the trip
| Our flight was rapid amid the profuse grand
eur of these falls, and the sensation produced in
the mind was one of exquisite awe, as in the
presence of overwhelming majesty.
Nothing interrupted our bewldered contem
plation Of this gorgeous display of mighty
elements until near the foot Of the Cascndes. A
swell doubled back upon us, first putting us
under, we know not how far, and then shooting
US to the top of the highest breakers, scattering
out plank around US We clung to the boat, =
part of the plank being yet in it jamming from
side to side. The breakers below, at the upper
part of what is called tho rapids, haniled us
still more roughly. The boat here not only
sunk frequently, but was capsized and turned
over like leaves in tornado. We were all
thrown clear of the boat, except the Indian, and
although we were somewhat engaged at that
time could not but admire the extraordinary
feats he performed to keep himself upon the
top ofthe boat; frequently he was turned under,
and at one time remained under so long that
gave up all hope of seeing him again; at Iaat to
my inexpressibe JOY he made his appearance.
We clung to pieces of plank, were thrown
under in all the large swells and whirls, but
this we soon became used to. We were not
frightened, but each one, with great calmness,
took care of himself The happiness we ex.
perienred when we learned that no lives were
lost, was infinitely more than all our suffering.
We were picked up at distance Of three,
seven and nine miles from the cascades

KENosHA MAYUFAcTUREs.--LastFriday morn

most endless length of procession of wagons
to say nothing of those which were taken to
pieces and slowed in the boxes Ten or twelve
men with span of horses each were towing
the row to Sucker-and-IIoosier-dom
They were valued at rising $4,000, and were
manufactured by one firm in this city. We
suppose it would not be proper to call the name
.of this firm; as they wish to keep their busi
ness out Of the newspapers, or else they would
put 1t in themselves. And then they would have
no long row OF wagons to show, for they wonld

The new steamer Arctic flew over the waves

has powerful engine, and is modelled so as to
make quicker time than any steamer that has

loon is ornamental with more than the usual
number of chandeliers, sofas, and divans; while
on either side you have long gallery of pic
lures, in the form ofarge and small oil paintings,
upon the panels of the state room doors, and the
intermediate space between them, numbering in
all. more than one hundred. The scenes pre-
scented by these paintings to one who is fond Of
art, Especially if a bachelor, and aiono) may
create the source of study and delight during
most OF the passage. The Arctic, beyond doubt
is the most perfect steamboat in all her appoint
mcnts, in det1l, and a whole that has ever
ran upon the upper lakes Her commander,
Captain BUTLIy, is as careful of his craft as a
newly married gentleman Of his bride As
