GYpsrEs.-A band of Gypsies lately land
ed at New York, among the emigrnnts
brought from Europe by an emigrant ship.
They are now etcanped with their covered
wagons, in the neighborhood of Hoboken,
and report themselves from the vicinity of
Durham and New Casll.. England. The
women and children are said to possess the
peculiar physical features of their strange
race. having slender figures and an ubun'
dance of black hair. The men pursue the
business of lnkers, and the females cook
their meals by fires made in the open air.
1t is probable that we arc indebted for this
odd importation of humanity to the increas-
ed facilities for immigration afforded by
steam navigation; and should this small
nucleus Of new race of people which we
have acquired in these Gypsy immigrants be
enlarged by accessions hereafter, it may be
reserved to the United States to solve the
problem whether it is possible, under any
form Of social and political institutions, TO
amalgamate with other races strange order
or cosmopolitcs. who have, immemoral'y,
been nomadic in habit, and intolerant of any
admixturs with different people.

From OREGON The Oregon papers
filed with accounts Of the war between the
whites and the Indians on Rogue river. The
immediate causes which led TO this out
break was the attack by the Indians upon
party OF Oregon miners who we're return

crossing of Rogue river, on the lst Of June.
The party Of whites numbered ITeniy>siX
men, and the Indians from Two hundred TO
three hundred. The whites re!reated with
ou, sustaining any injury. The next day
a 2arty of four persons were attacked, and
their mules and baggage taken away On

thirty two men and seventeen hovs were
attacked The engagement lasted several
hours, some five or six Indians being killed

DECISIVE BArrLEs.-The Decisive Bat


lies of the World, those of which, to use
Hallam's words, ia contrary event would
have essentially varied the drama Of the
world in all its subsequent scenes" are
numbered as fifteen by Professor Greasy,
who fills the chair Of Ancient and Modern
History IN the University of London: they
are the grand subject of two volumes by
him, just from Benlley's press. These

der Darius, thereby turning back tide of
Aslatic invasion, which else would have

racuse, 4l3 B, c., in which the A'henian
power was broken, and the West OF Eu-
rope saved from Greek domination: 3. The
Battle Of Arbela, 33l B. c., in which AL
exander, by the defeat Of Darius. estab.
lished his power in Asia. and by the intro
ductiou of European civilization produced
an effect which may even yet be traced
there: 4. The Battle of the Metaurus,
fought 2O7 3. c., IN which The Romans
under the Consul Nero defeated the Garth
agenians under Hasdrubal, ard by which
the supremacy of the great Republic was
eslablished; 5. The victory Of Armnus,
A. D. Q, over the Roman legions under
Varus, which secured Gaul from Roman
domination: 6. The Battle of Chalons, A.
d. 45I, in which Avetius defeated Atlila

and saved Europe from entire devastation:
7. The Battle of Tours, A. D. 732, in which
Charles Marlel, by the defeat Of the Sara
Gems, aver,ed the Mahommedan yoke from
Europe: 8. The Battle OF Hastings, A. D.
1916, in which William Of Normandy was
victorious over the Anglo.Saxon Harold,
and the result of which was the formation
of the Anglo Norman nation which now is
dominant in the world: 9. The Battle Of
Orleans. A. D. 1929, in which the English
were defeated and the independent exis.
tence Of France secured: ID. The defeat
OF the Spanish Armada, A. D. 1888.

cured the stability OF the Muscovte En-
p,e: l3. The Battle Of Saratoga, a. ID.

the American Revolulionists by making

THE OLD SEXTON.

Nigh 10 the grave that was newly made,
Leaned Sexon old, on his earth worn

His work was done, and he paused 10 wal.
The funeral train. AT the open gate.
A relic oi bygone days wss he,
A nd his locks were grey, as the ioamy sea;
And ihesr words cnme from his lips 50 thin,
I gather them in-I gather lhem in,
Ga,her--ga,her-l gather them in.
I gather them in, for man and boy,
Year n(ler year Of grief and joy.
I'vp builded the houses that lie around,
In every nook OF this burial ground.
Mother and daughter, father and son,
Come TO nv solitude, one by one;
But come they strangers, nr come they kln.
gather them in-I gather them in,
Ga,her-gather-I gather them in:
MANY are with me. We, I'm alone;
l'M KING OF THE DEAD! and make my
throne
On monumen, slab of marble cold,
My scepl,e Of rule is the spade hold:
Come they from cottage, or come they from
hall,
Mankind are my subjec,s-all-all-all!
Let them loiter IN pleasure, ortoilullY spin,
I gather them in-l gather them in.
Galher-ga,her-gat ga'her them in
gather them inland their final rest.
Is HERE. down HERE, in the earth's dark
breast!
And the Sexton ceased. as the funeral
train
Wound mutely over tha: solemn plnin;
And said to myself. when time is told
A mighlier voice than that Sexton's old,
Will be heard o'er the last trump's dread
ful din.
gather them in-f gather them in.
