and cheeress, enemies may gather in his path,
but when he returns to the fre-side and sees

ARRIVAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS small negro,
probably not over ten years of age, living in
Charleston, being desirous of paying our town
d visit, got under the guard of the steamer
Gladiator, just aft the wheel, and placing his
feet on the spondyle Of the boat "a large beam
near the water line, designed TO keep the craft
upright and steady and clasping brace
which stood conveniently near, came over safe
ly. When discovered he was endeavoring to
reach the shore at the Depot, and looked
bright although decidedly in a moist condition.
His escape from death was almost miraculous,
for from his position, he must of necessity
have experienced q succession of immersions
in the briny wave. The distance from Char
lesion, TO this town, is about l70 miles; the
night was dark although not tempestuous. He
said when the boat got to sea he was terribly
| alarmed, and screamed Justify, but nobody
came TO his assistance, and he succeeded by
cllnging to the brace as high up as he could. in
keeping his head out of the water. On being
asked whether he slept during the night, he
replied that he didn't have time. Having OBJ
| tanned but partial glimpse of our town, and
not being particularly struck with its appear
ance, he offered no resistance when Col. Miller,
the steamers agent, placed him on board the
return boat for Charleston. His was a flying
visit, and bold venture; and if the incident
detailed above by him with every appearance
OF sincerity and truth, are not fabrications, i,
affords an instance of daring and good fortune
not often chronicled.-W Wilmington Herald.

slavery now exists, and has always existed, in
California since the adoption Of the constitu-

consequence, nor do The people generally seem
TO give themselves much anxiety on the sub.

healthy tone Of public sentiment never enter

Of them whose earnings amount 10 Ms much

the maintenance of that minister. But if it be
important--and am sure need not say to the
Senate that it is of the last Importance that the
departments of this government should proceed
tremendously, and not interfere with, far less
trench upon, their respective and appropriate
duties, il is most important that the line should
be distinctly kept in view between the duties OF
the President and those Of the Senate. III this
Industrial Congress, or any other body of men,
think that ministers should be recalled, let them
address the proper organ, the President If we
give this reference, we shall be to that extent
at least liable to the Interpretation that have

Judgment, the Senate ought not to entertain,
because it is upon matter which does not fall
within their Appropriate sphere.

the gentleman from Massachusetts, / Mr. DAVIS,
as to the present character of the French gov
eminent, or what it may or may not be proper
for this government to do in relation to it. But
il were to say anything upon that subject, it
would be that the experience of gentlemen has
shown for the last half century that the French
people are at present incapable Of self-govern-
ment Ever since the present century began,
we have had that demonstrated to us by every
thing that can amount to demonstration. With
that subject, however, have now nothing to do.
l am against Intervention in any form--whether
to prevent intervention, or whether it is direct
intervention But this is Intervention in modi-
fled form. With great deierence it is my opin-
ion that the committee can make but one report
if this subject should go before them.
When the proper time comes-and there lies
upon the table resolution submitted by the
senator who introduced this memorial which

views upon this whole subject. Imove that the

commanding, returned to our port at an early
hour last evening. She has been as far south
as the dividing line between Mexico and the

the position Of the various islands, rocks, shoals,
&c, which interfere with the navigation Of the
coast. Theresnlts Of the survey, we understand,
will be speedily given TO the public in new
and correct chart The weather has been ex
tremely hot for the prosecution Of the work in
whirh the party on board the Quickstep was en-.

has been obtained, is of most impUrlan; and
reliable character.
