lasting as monumental brass. Inyour war
of 1872, when your arms on shore were {
covered by disaster-when Winchester had
been defeated-When the army of the North

of dependency hung ike cloud over the
land, who first relit the fires of national
glory, and made the welkin ring with the
shouts Of victory ItBas the American

We regret that our limits will not permit
US to give the entire speech. With the cx-
ception of one single effort by Kossuth, we
have met with nothing in years more worthy
of being treasured as an imperishable piece
of eloquenee, than this glorious speech Of
Commodore Stockton. We consider it one
of the proudest victories that any of our ma
val commanders has yet obtained 1t issa
victory not over brute force, but over pride
and prejudice enemies more tenacious of
life than any opponents that common sense
was ever calledu upon to wrestle with. Stock
toms speech should be republished in every
paper in the land, and we trust viii be.

Ilican, speaking Of a professional visit to the
town of Jackson, in Calayeras. county, says:

and the district courts. Ny. case was in the
county court, before Judge Smith, and was

which Collyer, the county clerk, died, who
was shot by this same Judge Smith, few
weeks ago, perhaps very excusably too. The

sword by his side, and / was perhaps the on

tators theirs-the grand jury, &c, and, as
fsaid, the sheriff and his assistant theirs. II
