SEVENTY MILES IN TWELVE 1IoURs.-At

families were murdered" The next place of
assault was Fort Belknap, which The Camanches,
in company with ncighboring tribes, made des-
peratc attack upon. The regulars sustained
themselves and drove the savnges of, at loss
of life OIL both sides. 1t was feared that Sc

THE WEATHrR AND TIE CRoPs.-For scyc-
raj days past weather has been remarkably
cool for the season. 1t is now the middle of
August, yet winter clothing is requisite for ones
comfort. II is quite favorable time for pulling
fodder, large quantities of which have been gar.
nered in fine condition during the last week.
The early corn crop is, Of course, mature, and
is beyond contingency. The only danger TO be
apprehcnded now is that arising from tho over
flowing of the water courses. The yield of
corn will be immense. The cotton crops looks
remarkably well. The plant is very full of
blooms, which promise to stick to the stalk and
mature. 1t is in very few and limited sections
that we hear of its shedding. The rust is ma
king its appearance in small spots on the gray
lands; Us yet it has done no serious injury.
Altogether there is good prospect of large
yield of cotton.-Newberry Sentinel, 18Th inst.

THE GUAao ScEArE.-Consdrabe dissatis-
faction has been expressed in England at the
reply Of Lord Derby, admitting that the I,obos
Islands belong to Peru, a right which Mr.. Web
stcr disputes, and which lie is not disposed
10 allow to be exercised against American tra-
dcrs, till the dispute is settled.
Mr.. Riley, understood to be the agent of the
Peruvian Government, published in the N. Y.
Journal of Commerce several colums of cores
pondence, in order to show that the Lobos
Islands were discovered and claimed by Peru
more than two hundred years ago; that this
claim is fully admitted by the English Govern
nent that Peru has possession of the Islands,
and an armed force sufficient to protect them
against all marauders that for some years she
has forbidden all trespass on these islands, and
even fishing along their shores, and has allowed
no one to take guano without license from the
Peruvian Government. The agent of Peru
farther says, that she will not suffer American
vessels to take guano from these islands, with
out resisting to the utmost of her power; and
that al attempt on our part to take guano at
the cannon's mouth, will occasion an entire in
terruption of our trade with Peru, and will most
njuriously affect our shipping in the Pacific.

THE FISHERY Observation-Disclosures Re-
cEPTIoS OF THE MISSISSIPPI AT ST. JOHN, n.
B.-The ST. John New Brunswicker, in noticing
the arrival of the U. S. Steamer Mississippi,
Gem. Perry, at that port, says she will be of as
much service in protecting the rights of British
fsIsssmep ss MY EEseglis!! man Of war. ms the
subject only needs investigation by gentlemen
Of standing to be fully understood. The same
psper says:
ave may mention ns an instance Of how
correct knowledge Of this fishery question may
be turned to good account that the American
revenue cutter, which is generally stationed al
Eastport, proceeded upon cruise over the
fishery grounds, week or two si;ice, and the
commander found that his chief business was to
warn American trespassers off of forbidden
ground. He found them, in almost every in
stance, taking fish within the treaty limits, near
the shore, and cautioned them as to the conse-
qaences should they be caught.
=, ave hope that the Mississippi, and indeed
the whole American Navy, will cruise about our
bays and harbors. For that matter we would
willingly dispense with every vessel sent out by
England, and throw ourselves altogether into
the hands of our enemics'-iOr Justice
would then be metcd ont by those who would
see for themselves to whom it was due.
its worthy of mention that on Sunday last
the horbor of st. John presented an American
caste of character. There were twelve large
American ships lying vt anchor with their en-
tigns flying at the peak, as well ns the war-
steamer Mississippi. Jonathan ruled the waves
in port that day.
Commodore Perry and Capt. Adams, of the
Mississippi, went to Fredericton on Tuesday
morning to view the river and pay their respects
TO his honor the Administrator of the Govern
nient.
The Morning News states that a ball had
been agreed upon to the officers of the hissis-
sippi, to take place last Thursday evening, and

RURrEn ALIVE
A late number of the London Weekly Time

A late number of the London Weekly Times
relates the following singular story:
can officer of artillery, man of gigantic
stature and robust health, being thrown from all
unmanageable horse received avery severe con-
fusion upon the head, which rendered him insen-
sble at once. The skull was slightly fractured,
but no immediate danger was apprehended.
Trepanning was accomplished successfully. He
was blcd, and many other of the ordinary means
of relief were adopted. Gradually, however.
he fell into more helpless state of stupor, and
finally it was thought he had died. The weather
was warm, and he was buried with indecent
haste, in one of the public cemeteries. His
funeral took place on Thursday.
On Sunday following, the grounds of the
cemetery were, rs usual, much throngcd with
visitcrs; and, about noon, an immense excite
ment was created by the declaration Of a pea
SAINT, that, while he was sitting upon the grave
Of the officer, he had distinctly felta commolon
of the earth, rs if occasioncd by some one
struggling beneath. At first, little attention
was paid to the mans asseveration, but his evil
dent terror, and the dogged obsinacy with
which he persisted in his story, had at length
their natural effect upon the crowd. Spades
were hurriedy procured, and the grave, which
was shamefully shallow, was, in \ few minutes,
so far thrown open, that the head of lis occu-
pant appeared. He was then seemingly dead ::
but he sat nearly erect in his coffin, the lid of
which, in his furious struggles, he had partially
uplifted. He was forthwith conveyed to the
nearest hospital, and there pronounced to be still
living, although in an aspytic condition.
After some hours he revived, recognised. indi-
Tduals of his acquaintance, and, in broken SEN
tences, spoke of his agonics in the grave. From
what he related, it was clear that he must have
been conscious Of life for more than an hour
while inhuned, before lapsing into insensbity.
The grave was carelessly and loosely filled with
loose, porous soil; and thus some air was ne
cessarily admitted. He heard the footsteps of
the crowd overhead, and endeavored TO make
himself heard in turn. 1t was the tumult with
in the grounds Of the cemetery, he said, which
appeared to awaken him from deep sleep: bat
no sooner was he awake that he became fully
aware of the awful horrors Of his position"
