which your Kindness has assigned to me; but

some few remarks which are suggested to my
mind by what has been stated. You was pleased
to say that Austria was blind to let me escape.
Be assured that It was not the merit Of Austria.
Austria would have been very glad TO bury me,
if not in the eofd grave Of death at least in the
equally cold grave Of morality and government.
But the Emperor of Turkey took courage to in
terfere with Austria; and Notwithstanding all
the rcclamatious of Austria, l am free-restored
TO life because restored to duty and activity.
If Austria had her wiu It is true ! should have
vanished out of the memory of man. 1t is
curious fate which have. Perhaps there never
was man in the world who was so fond Of
tranquility as I am; and perhaps no man so
fond of doing as much good as possible without
being known, or even noticed as being in the
world. Thus longing for tranquility, it was my
destiny never TO have q single moment in my
I:fe TO see It fulfilled. But my guiding star was,
and w.u be, Duty" and the pleasure and de-
light of the heart must wait, even for ever, if
necessary when duty calls.

glad indeed, that il is the ladies Of New York

This, ny farewell. cannot, VIII not be eloquent.
When in the midst of busy day, the watchful
cares of guardian angel throws some flowers
Of JOY in the thorny way Of man, he gathers
them up with thanks a cheerful thrill quiyers
rough his heart, like the melody Of the lEolian
harp; but the earnest duties of life soon claim
his attention and his cares The melodious thrill
dies away, and en- LIE must go, and on he goes
ioyless, cherries, and cold, every fibre of his
heart bent 10 the earnest duties Of the day. But
when the hard work Of the day is done, and the
stress of mind for moment subsidies, then the
heart again claims its right and the tender
fingers Of our memory gather up again the
a-iolets of JOY which the guardian angel threw in
our way, and we look at them with so mach JOY
we cherish them as the favorite gifts Of life-Ee
are glad--as glad as the child on Christmas eve-
These are the happicst moments Of mans life.

SAN FRANRIsco, OcT. 9th, 1852.

Friend Mitchell. Since your last issue
not much has, occurred to create fear, ex-
citement or JOY in the precincts Of this
city. ., The primary Cor rather promiscu-
ous) election for Delegates of a portion of
the Democrats of San Francisco county
and city, has been gotten through with in
all the wards save the 7th, where the op-
posing candidates and their friends used
some strenuous physical measures, and
succeeded in annihlating the ballot box.
A cons derable number of the unterritied
became pngalistc, and some pretty tall
shoulder striking closed the scene, not to
say anything of the eyes which were also
closed. We; will give the party its des-
erts, however, and say they turned out
last Saturday night, in greater numbers,
and made a finer display than any previ-

DESTRUCTION OFF, OYSTERS
HEAVY Loss.-For some eight

been busily engaged in transporting
and planting oysters procured from
Sholewater Bay river and other
points on ollr northern coast, 1in, the

day last, they had plantedin alEoNer
three thousand bushels, near the shore

Upon examining them. yesterday,
MIR. Russell found that they had been
totally destroyed, having the appear
ance Of being pounded into the mud,
broken up, and their, meat entirely
gone. what has been the occasion of
this, remains a, mystery. Some of our
fishermen account for it as the fava-
ges of some marine fish, probably
drum-fish. The loss is very severe

ofKU, there lived man whOsename was
Og, and he was of Bashan, and the son OF
Ryer, and was possessed Of a mischlev-
Gus spirit; and he came into the temple
and unto the Sanhedrim and behaved
himself not atall but giggled he much. .
bl2. find it came pass that the Judges
aud the scribes were sitting in the temple
and had nothing to do, and the said Og
seated himself near to an officer of the
temple, whose sir name was Sam, and his
loins were girt about with a Colts revol-
yer, and whose food was buck meat and
wild onions. aIid ., mid birf hpd dsN 1adA

he wagged the same, and he spoke unto
Sam saying who is Hugh that he should
sit upon Bench, and who is Smith and
who is Jordan, that they should be called
Judges; and who is, Hawkins that he
should be a scribe ID the temple, was he
not put away by his friends and is he not

A.. And Sam opened his mouth, which
was like unto the door of an Inn on the
way side that goeth up to Galilee, and he
answered 'Og saying, verify is hell full of
such courts ns this, and wa sged they their
heads much and grinned they amazingly,
and then went they forth to- the house of
