ASoTHER NoLcANo.-Our readers are
generally aware that a volcano exists on the
coast between Monterey and San Diego,
which is active most Of the time. But il is
a fact not so generally known, that another
exists among the Sierra Nevada. 1t lies
far TO the north among the sources of Feath-
or River On the fifth of January, 1851, it
was actively belching forth lava and smoke.
Last summer the stream Of lava had not
cooled. A German, in walking over the
crust, broke throught, and came near being
burnt to death. Had il not been for his
companions, who dragged him out, he would
without doubt have lost his life. His boots
were burned to crisp.-['rimes & Trans

IMPORTANT Discovery IN NAVIGATING
SLIPS AT SEA.-It may not be generally
known that the latitude Of ship cannot be
taken if the sun and horizon be not both
visible al the time, and that the artificial
horizon used Oh land to obtain the latitude
oi place cannot be us3d at s-a, owing to
the constant motion of the ship destroying
the horizontal surface. We understand
that Mr.. Brinsden, of Mont saint Hilairp,
Canada East, has perfected a mode for using
the artificial horizon at s,a, so that it is per-
fecily unnfunced by the motion Of the ship,
and the altitude may be taken at all times
when the sun is visible. Such a discovery
will tend much 10 the security of floating
property, the preservation of the lives Of
our hardy sailors, and must command the
attention Of merchants owning ship proper

Incident Of the Battle Of New Orleans.


A British officer, who was a the battle of
New Orleans, mentions an incident of thrill
ing strangeness, and very descriptive of the
Western hunter, many of whom marched to
the defence of New Orleans, as volunteers
in the army under the renowned Andrew
Jackson:
owe Marched" said the officer, " in a
solid column Of twelve thousand men, in di-
rect line upon the American defences. |
belonged to the staff; and as we advanced,
We watched through our glasses the position
and arrangements Of our enemy with that
intensity an officer only feels when march
lug into the jaws of death, with the assur-
ance that, while he thus offers himself as a
sacrifice 10 the demands Of his country,
every action, to be successful or otherwise,
will be judged with the most heartless scru-
tiny.
1t was a strange sight, that long range Of
cotton bales-a new material for breast
works, with the crowd of human beings be-
hind, their heads only visible above the
line Of defence. We could distinctly see
their long rifles laying over the bales, and
the battery Of Gen. Coffee directly in front
with its great mouth gaping towards US, as
lhey waited 10 devour us, and the position
ol Gen. jackson, with his staff around him.
But what attracted our attention most, was
the figure of tall man standing on the
breast works, dressed in linsey wooden, with
buckskin leggins, and broad trimmed felt
hat, that fell around the face, almost con-
cealing his features. He was standing in
one OF those picturesque and graceful atti-
mdes, peculiar to those natural men-dwell-
ers IN the forests. The body rested on the
left leg, and swayed with a curved line up
wards; the right arm was extended, the
hand grasping the rife near the muzzle, the
butt of which rested near the toe of his
right foot, while with his hand he raised the
rim Of the hat from his eyes, and seemed
gazing from beneath intensely upon our ad-
yancing column. The cannon of General
Coffee had opened upon us, and tore through
our ranks with dreadful slaughter; but We
Continued to advance unwavering and cool
as # nothing threatened our progress.
The roar Of cannon seemed TO have No
effect upon the figure standing on the cotton
bales, but he seemed Fixed and moiionlcss as
statue. Al last he moved, threw back
the hat rim over the crown with his lefl
hand, raised the rife TO his shoulder and
took aim at our group. Our eyes were riv-
eted on him. At whom had he levelled his
piece ! But the distance was. so great thai
We looked at each other and smiled. We
saw the rife fash, and my right-hand com
Panion, as noble looking a fellow as ever
rode at the head of his regiment, fell from
his saddle. The hunter paused few mo
moments, without moving the gun from BIZ
shoulder, then reloaded and assumed hi
iormer attitude. Throwing the hat riu
over his eyes, and again holding it up will
his left hand, he fixed his piercing gaze up
on us as If hunting out another victim. Ono,
more the hat rim was thrown back and th
gun raised 10 the shoulder. This time W

THE AMERICAN CHALLENGE TO ENGLIsH
SHlP-BUlLDsRs. 1t will be remembered
that some weeks since challenge was wafl-
ed across the broad Atlantic, from the
American Navigation Club, TO the ship
builders Of Great Britain, offering 10 match
an American clipper against an English
clipper for voyage to China and back, the
prize for the winning vessel to be 10000
and to be paid without regard to accidents
or 10 any exceptions. The London Chroni-
Gle says, that no response having as yet been
made TO this challenge, "the President Of
the American Navigation Club, Mr.. d. c.
Bacon, is authorised, should the present
challenge moi be accepted within the thir-
ty days. TO allow the British vessel start
Of fourteen days before the departure of the
American craft, and also allow us a crew
picked from seamen experienced in voya-
ging between English and Chinese ports,
while their own crew is 10 be composed Of
American seamen and officers whose expert
ence is limited to sailing between American
and English ports. The Americans, under
the new conditions, are willing to augment
the stake to 100000, or to any higher sum
than the 10000 of the present conditions
most agreeable to us, but the last named
amount to be the minimum"
One would think that proposition so "a
yorable would put John Bull upon his met
tie.

The Japan Expedition and Survey Of the
China Seas.

Welearn on undoubted authority that the
preparations for the United States Expedi-
lion to Japan are rapidly speeding to COM
pletion, and are on a scale Of great efflclen-
cy and completeness. The expedition is 10
be much more formidable than was at frs!
contemplated, and will consist of three supe-
rior steamships ofwar-and all this notwiih
standing the many rumors from time to time
that the expedition had been abandoned,
and which have as often been contradcted
by our well informed correspondents at
Washington and elsewhere.
The steamship Mississippi, Capt. Long,
as part Of the expedition, is to sail frorf.
New York from the lst tn the 10Th Of No.
vember, and will be accompanied by the
steamer Princeton, Capt. Lee, as the flag
ship of Commodore Perry, commanding the
expedition. The Princeton is now in the
harbor of Baltimore, receiving the splendid
new boilers snd other machinery manufac-
tured in this city-and so far from being
I" condemned as unfit for SERVICE" as un-
warrantably stated by some of the New
York papers, she is now deemed, since her
reconstruction at Charleston, Mass, very
model of naval architecture.
Owing TO the fact that no such boilers as
those now being made for the Princeton was
ever before constructed in this country, and
the necessity OF, from time 10 time, altering
the plans as the work progressed, for the
purpose OF accomplishing certain valuable
improvements, considerable more time has
been requisite for their completion than
would otherwise have been needed but the
work on board the steamer is now nearly
finished, and trial trip down the harbor is
early contemplated.
The third steamer TO compose the Japan
expedition is the Allegheny, now altering
and repairing so extensively at Gosport, Va.
She, however, is not expected to sail before
January next, when she will join the other
steamers at some convenient point on the
way 10 their final destination.
With regard to the survey of the China
seas, 10 be made under the appropriation of
1926, 900, lately granted by Congress, we
learn that the sloop of wal Vincennes is to
be the flag ship OF the squadron, and that it
is designed to purchase two other vessels for
that service. Com Ringgold has charge Of
this surveying expedition. The Viacennes,
it will be recollected, has just returned to
New York from the Pacific, after three
years cruise Baltimore Sun, Oct 10.
