PorAToEs.-We acknowledge the re-
ceipt of bushel of the finest potatoes
we ever saw, from our friend WESLEY
RorHeEB, of Addison township. They
are the largest probably ever raised in
this county. and speak volumes for this
gentleman as successful farmer. They
are of the White Meshannock, Red
Meshannock, Blue Meshannock, Pink
Eyes and Scotch Grays. We have no
doubt these potatoes would take the pre-
ulium at the Worlds Fair in New York.
Mr.. R. raised about $500 bushels of the
'fsame sort'' this season.

AnaIvAL OF THE cREsorsr crrT.
New Yoak, Oct. 5.

NEW LoAAf OCt. ..
The Crescent City with 500 passen-
gers. and $1,000, 600, arrived at 10
O'clock last night. Amongst the treas
ure is SO, 900 from Australia, brought
by Adams & Co.'s express. This is the
first shipment from that country to the
United States.
The Crescent City left Australia on
the morning of the 25th. On the
second day out she met the steamship
Star of the West, and saw a ship west
of Cairo dismasted.
Health on the Isthmus is good, and
the weather was pleasant.
Australia dates of the Goth of July
have reached Panama. The miners are
agitating for reduction of tax. Large
meetings have been held, and those in
attendance were armed to the teeth,
and great excitement prevailed. Fresh
discoveries of gold have been made
The mining intelligence is favorable.
The news from the Isthmus is unim-
portant.
An affair at the Chinchai Islands, in
which the captain of the American ship
Defiance was wounded, is mentioned.
The Defiance on going to sea saluted
another American vessel and was fined.
A second salute was fired which en-
ragged the Peruvian commander so that
he went on board of the Defiance with
three boats loaded with armed men,
The boats crews after a severe encoun-
ter seized the captain of the Defiance
and bound him, then threw him into
one of the boats seriously injuring him.
The Peruvian officers and crews took
the Defiance to Callao, and the captain
was retained in confinement. Mr..
Clay, our minister to Lima, forthwith
chartered the steamer Bolivia and went
to Chinchai to investigate, and has sent
dispatches to Washington.
Business is paralyzed throughout the
Republic of Bolivia.
The most exciting stories had reached
Santiago de Borgia of gold discoveries
on the Amazon and its branches. The
washings extend 40 leagues. f95 per
day is said to be the average of one
mans labor.

"MoDEsTY WITHOUT GLOVES. This
was the heading of caption in the last
Courier to an article we penned in re-
gard to our assistant, which our neigh
Dor, with his usual tact of perverting,
charged as having been written by the
individual himself in his own praise.
In justice to Mr.. NASH we must say the
charge is false, as he knew nothing of
the article until after it was written
Our junior suffered much during the
past few weeks for articles that ap-
peared in the Journal, of which he was
not the author. but then he was can
didate for Office, and had to carry bis
share of the censure.

BREADsTUFFs.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press states that it has no confidence in
the check of demand for wheat and
flour on the part of France; that re-
newal of the demand may be calculated
on with tolerable certainty, and adds:
Meanwhile, a large portion of our
own harvest is in great jeopardy, and,
without wishing to encourage specula-
ton in any shape or way, we must still
regard it as merely prudential meas
ure on the part of those engaged in the
trade not to allow their stocks to run
too low.

APpREHENDED F ANIME AT NEwroUxp

APPREHENDED FAMINE AT NEwFoUND-
LAND.-By the arrival of the brig Hall
fax at this port we have papers from
that city to Sept. 81. Accounts have
been received there from Newfoundland
to Sept. 81, which state that the potato
crop, on account of the rot, was almost
an entire failure. The catching fish
was also very short, and the most
serious apprehensions were felt of a
famine on the island the coming winter,
as the stock of provisions now on hand
would not last above two months. 1t
was feared that great suffering would
be experienced by the poorer classes,
and the papers were urging the Govern
ment to call an early session of the
Legislature to devise means to meet the
emergency.-Boston Traveller.

GENERAL INTELLIGENcE.-The cholera
was raging fearfully in the North of
England.
The Spanish Ministry have resigned.
The Turkish affair wears a more
threatening aspect than ever. The
Turkish people are generally aroused
to fanaticism, and had called on the
Sultan to declare war against Russia or
abdicate the Throne. In the meantime
the four powers are using every exer-
ton to induce the Sultan to accept Of
the original Vienna note. Austria
shows symptoms of backing out of the
alliance with France and England, and
to take sides with Russia.
This news had very depressing in
fluence upon the London money market,
and funds materially declined.
At Constantinople, placards con-
tinued to be posted, calling for war, and
bitter feeling against England was
rapidly spreading among the Mussel-
men. who were freely caricaturing that
country, and circulating the prints over
the country.
The general feeling at Constantinople
was, that the Sultan would make no
further concessions either to Russia or
to the Powers, and it was rumored that
the dispute between the English and
French ministers had been revived, the
French minister insisting that the
French feet should come up to Con-
stantinople, to which Lord Radcliffe OBJ
jected.
Dispatches from Vienna of the Goth
ult., confirm the report that Austria
was backing out. She declines to sane
ton a guarantee in the note against any
further interference on the part of Rus
sia, between the Sultan and his subjects.
Another dispatch from Vienna states
that instructions had been sent to the
English and French ministers at Con-
stantinople, to urge the Porte to accept
the first note.
The Bey of Tunis had notified the
Porte that his forces were ready to take
the field.

AuTUMN.-He who said these days
were melancholy days." said we'll
said touchingly and truly. Death and
sorrow are united. Man is not the only
victim to the poisoned arrow of the Pale
King. Nature is stung to the quick BY
the same shaft. Her color changes, her
strength relsxes, her vigor departs
and though she has no voice by which
to tell her anguish, her thrOes are none
the less poignant.
''All this is full of suggestions. 1t is
an emblem, an example. 1t holds a
charmed picture to the eye, and strikes
poisonous apprehension in the heart
The thoughts are subdued, like solemn
rhymes, and mortal weaknesses become
the more apparent. The youth whis-
pers to himself along the highway, and
the strong man is troubled in the soli-
tude of his chamber.
"And they who turned aside the dead
leaves of former Autumn, to lay down
their coveted treasures, and leave them
there in silence, they have another sor-
row now. A year from the time of a
great woe, brings a double sorrow to
the spirit. The anniversary of a grief
is harder to endure than the griefitself."

those of johnson or John Boyd. A
man by that name is known. it is said,
to have worked for several persons in
this county few years since, and re-
Gently to have been engaged on Steam

oOHEALOEo-- n ilChibSI VI OON.
Stevens's Northern route exploring
party, in long communication in the
St. Louis Republican, written from the
head of Yellow Stone, relates the fol-
lowing among many other "sights and
incidents" of the party thus far:
On Sunday, after march of some
ten miles, the bufaloes were reached.
They were before and on each side of
the train. For miles ahead it seemed
one vast drove-yard. They were esti-
mated by some as high as 100000;
2Oo,O is considered very low esti-
mate. Drawing up the train at our
usual halt at noon, a large herd were
about half mile ahead. The hunters,
six in number, were Immediately dis
patched, well mounted on spare horses
reserved for that especial purpose, and
the whole train had an opportunity Of
witnessing buffalo hunt. The hunters
dash in amongst the herd, pick out the
fattest of the cows, andthen, separating
the selected ones from the herd, soon
dispatch them. In less than an hour
the wagons were sent but small dis
tance from the route to receive the
choice pieces of the buffalo.
In the next two days march the hun
tiers were kept some distance ahead to
keep off the buffaloes; it was the only
way the safe passage of the train could
be insured through this sea of flesh.-
The pack mules and spare animals fol-
lowing on in the train, too numerous to
be separately led, were hard to control,
and, despite every precaution and care,
one horse and four mules were lost, they
getting mingled with herd of buffaloes.
Every effort was made to reclaim them,
and hours spent in their attempted re-
covery. The effort was entirely use
less.
SINGULAR CIRcUMsTANCE.-The Lon
don papers contain an account of the
wreck of the British ship "Rebecca,"
on the coast of Van Dieman's Land,
with the loss of the captain, his wife,
and nineteen of the crew. Eleven per-
sons succeeded in getting on shore
They could find no inhabitants. After
two weeks of suffering and privation,
during which time they subsisted on
stores washed up from the wreck, they
were surprised by the appearance of
dog, which they hailed as the harbinger
of deliverance. They wrote an account
of their situation and tied it around the
dogs neck. The dog belonged to
gentleman named Burgess, who, with
party, was exploring the country
Upon reading the note, they immediate
ly set out for the wreck, and came up
with the survivors on the twenty-third
day after their landing.
