SENATOR DOUGLASS IN EURoPE--The Paris
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette thus
speaks Of the doing of the little giant" in for
eign parts.
"Mr. Douglass has just returned from an ex-
tensive tour, which embraced Italy, Greece, Syr-
ia, Turkey, Russia, Prussia, Belgium and France.
He leaves here Thursday, and after passing
through Scotland and Ireland, will take the
steamer at Liverpool, on the 10Th ult., for the
United States. He looks WE'LL has enjoyed his
trip, and is Sc chock ful' of good stories, start
ling adventures, and Intervention arguments,
with which to astonish the natives, at the next
sitting of Congress. He has had long confer
ence with Reschid Pacha at Constantinope,
with Count Nesselroee ut ST. Petersburgh, and
with many other great men and he has come
to the conclusion that Louis Napoleon is the
greatest man in Europe, that France is the best
governed country, and her people the most en-
lightened.
"Mr. Douglass Travelled over the principal part
of Russia in long carriage, which travelled day
and night at the rate of eight or ten miles an
hour. 1t contained a sleeping room and kitch.
en-, so that he seldom left it. He penetrated to
the confines of Tartary, where a grand annual
fair was going on, at which there were 100000
persons, Siberians, Russians, Austrians, Cal.
muck Tartars, Circassians, Georgians, Turks and
Persians.
"The Judge arrived at Smyrna the day after
the Koszta affair and he describes the excitement
as beyond anything he had ever seen. The en-
thusiasm for our Government all over that coun.
try, amounts to mania. He has obtained the
entire particulars concerning the affair, and will
be able TO throw much light on the settlement
of the question"

FROM OREGON AND WASHINGTON TERRIFIC
RIEs-Our files of Oregon papers are up to the
26th ultimo, inclusive, and from Washington to
the 18th ultimo.
A treaty of peace had been made with the In
dams on Rogue River. The Indians were to
be paid 100000 for their land, $1,000 being
withheld as indemnity to persons who had suff-
cred by their depredations. Capt Nesmith's
company had been disbanded, and the miners had
resumed their work. Their earnings are report
ed at from So to $40 per day.
The Portland Transcript gives gloomy pic
ture of the condition of the emigrants on the
plains. 1t says that whole families are left there
entirely destitute, their cattle having persisted
and, further, that out of between 100000 and
100000 head of cattle which had left the United
States for California and Oregon, probably not
more than 100000 would live through the jour-
ney.
A gentleman who arrived at Oregon City on
the I'd of Sept. from Salt Lake City estimates
the number of wagons on their way to Oregon
at about 1900; $50 had crossed at Salmon Falls,
and some 1900 had gone down on the south
side Of the river Many large focks of sheep
are on the way. About 100000 head of cattle
were destined for California.
The population of Washington Territory was
between 1000 and 5000. n. Y. Com. Adv

90 A pair of mammoth beets were on ex-
hib,ion at our office last Friday. They were
raised and presented us by NELSON BOND, Esq,
of Crockery, and like other vegetable produc.
tons that have been forwarded to us from that
township, are calculated to give marvellous ideas
of the agricultural capacity of the soil in which
they grew. They are the largest things of the
kind we have seen, but we will not, like some
of our rash contemporaries under similar circum-
stances, endanger our reputation for veracity by
giving more particular statement Of their d.
mansions.

WORKING BOTH WAYs.-We yesterday visit
ed the works of the Illinois Central Railroad in
front of the city, and were surprised to find the
track so nearly laid to the south pier. The pile
drivers are already nearly as far north as Lake
street, and but one block remains to be passed
before terra frma" is reached North of the
pier built by Chas. Walker, Esq, Immediately
south of Water street, the line strikes the shore,
and thence to the south pier the road is graded,
and workmen are already busy laying the track
Should the weather be favorable, the trains can
run to the south pier in about two weeks. The
work appears to be of the most substantial char
acter and is pushed forward with great energy
and dispatch. Chicago Dem. Press.

Two young men in North Demas Mass, one
day last week pegged one hundred and sirty
pairs of women's spring heel shoes, working
ten hours. This is probably the greatest per-
Torrance ever recorded in this line. The names
of the parties are Alexander Steele and John ].
Bunker. A wager of twenty-five dollars was
depending on the result of the days work,
Bunker being the challenger. Bunker pegged
seventy-eight pairs. Steele averaged n pair in
seven minutes and nineteen seconds. There
were about one hundred and twenty-five pegs
in each shoe, or two hundred and fifty in pair
This would amount to twenty thousand and
five hundred pegs in the eighty-two pairs, and
would be at the rate Of about thirty-fve pegs
driven in each and every minute of the ten hours.
The work was done well. Can any body beat
it?

than reality, and the firing not unattended with

BUSINESS TALENT.

The Newburyport Herald, in giving an obit-
uary notice OF a young and talented merchant,
makes the following truthful remarks:
There are many among the leading classes of
politicians and scboolmen who are apt to assume
to themselves more Importance in the commune
ty than belongs to them, who underrate the ne
cessity, and the usefulness Of the successful and
energetic business man. This is not the place
to argue which is the highest order Of talent and
which is the most useful to the community. 1t
is undenable, however, that to conduct large
business successfully, for long term of years,
is the rarest qualification to be found in society
While there are no doubt, hundreds of young
men who have the material out Of which are
made patriotic and ardent politicians, claiming
to ascend to the high places Of power for the
good of the people, and willing to serve their
country with most patriotic devotion for a share
of the oaves and fishes and hundreds more ca
pable of becoming, in their own estimation at
least social, moral, and religious reformers OF
the first water, it is doubtful if there can be
found ten who giving them all the opportunities
and advantages they should desire, would be able
to do their part in unfolding the pecuniary re-
sources and the industry of the community with
good share of business ability.
Men may enter into business recklessly with
means or credit obtained by accident, inherit.
ance, or finesse, and flourish for time perhap:
by accident, like a gambler, if they retire from
the field when their pockets are full, secure &
fortune, and it is no warrant of ability; but tc
continue for a long series of years in tho sue
cessful management of a large business is &
proof of ability, energy, selfdenial, and Others
of the rarest qualifications possessed by man
kind
| Nothing in this world is so fatal to the devel
opement of the intellectual powers of the young
as what are commonly called expectations
Take two boys Of the same age, and as nearly
as may be of the same capabilities. Inform one
that he is the heir of large fortune, which one
day or other must come into his possession
tell the other that he has not sixpence to de
pend upon, but must thrive by his own exertion
and ten years afterwards there will be a might,
difference between them. You will find tina
one only has wrapped up his talent in napkin
while the other has laid it out at interest.
