THE VIENNA Nork.--lho portion of this ia
nous document, says the Chronicle, the precise
reading of which has created SO much trouble,
is follows:
If at all times, the Fmperors Of Russia haze
shomn their Gctipe soiicitude for the maintenance of
he immunittes md p,iUlcges Of the Orthodox Greek
Church IN The Ottoman Empire, the Sultan never
refused TO confirm them anew by solemn acts.
which attested their ancient and constant solici-
tude toward their Christian subjects.
The modification asked for by the Sultan
reads thus:
If at all times, the Emperors of Russia have
shown their 0ctire ~licitude for The corship Of The
Orthodor G1eek Ch"rch, The Snitons hare
ceased to acatch he immuniies and privileges
Of that worship and of haf Church IN tie Ottoman
Empire, and 10 confirm them anew by solemn
acts, which attest their ancient and constant be-
nevolence toward their Christian subjects.

THE LIMANTouR CLAIMs.-The s. F. Herald
states that Mr.. Limantour has claims before the
Board of Land Commissioners, embracing very
near one hundred and eight square leagues !
His attorney, Gen. James Wilson, the gentleman
whose trip across the Plains in '49, when he
came out to take the Collectorship of San Fran
cisco, cost the government upwards of a hundred
thousand dollars, has recently writtena pamphlet
in which he exhibits no slight degree of conf
dence in this mans title to +" four leagues of land
in the county adjoining and near the city of San
Francisco" This confidence is considered the
more remarkable inasmuch as the learned attor-
ney has declared that his client is and always
has been, subject of France-whle the Mexi-
can law is clear a noon-day sunbeam in
cloudless sky upon the point that no
citizen Of Mexico could acquire title to terri
tory within the limits of that Republic. MIR. Ii
manour is evidently great and bold man. No
one supposes that he really believes his claims
in the sIShiest degree equitable; they arc in al
probability gotten up for the purpose of drawing
from persons now occupying those lands, subsi-
dies for qui,-claims over his ignaturc-the sup
position being that the occupants referred to
would rather pay respectable amount than be
further worried with law suits. We verify be-
lieve Limantour to be genius

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-The San Diego CORES

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-The San Diego cores
pondent of the S. f. Herald writes as follows
Lieuts Parke and Stoneman, of the surveying
party, are now encamped at Aqua Gale te.
Enough Of their labors has transpired to make
j, certain that San Diego will be the terminus
of the grand railroad uniting the Atlantic aud
Pacific oceans. No practicable pass in the
mountains north of valleci,as has been found.
On this you may rely, notwithstanding contrary
reports are in circulation.
Ii this statement prove true, we may expect
to have all the weight of San Francisco thrown
into the scale in favor of Mobiles Pass.

WM. WALKER.--This gentleman who affixes
dent OF Lower California" is a native of New
York and something more than thirty years oI
age. He was connected with the editorial de.

quent to which he became law partner Of
Judge MeCorkle in Marysville. He was also
President pro tenn of the Democratic State Con.

HUMBue.-Some individuals are travelling
through the Eastern States engaged in exhibit

the name of Ksaw-shaw-gance. is represented to
hail from the Wa,napu tribe, in Southern Ore
gon. We have heard of the Cayuse, the Walla-
walla, the Clatrop the Chenook, the Tualatin,
the umpqua, the Rogue River, the Clackamas,
the Shasta, and about fifty other trires in the
territory of old Oregon, but never before heard

Naval Retired List.

Lieut.. W. d. Porter has written long letter
advocating the establishing Of an honorable Re-
tired list for old and worn out officers. We
are confident that this project will meet no seri-
GUS opposition from any liberal and thinking
American. 1t is to be regretted however, that
nothing is said in the discussion now going on
in various leading papers relative to this matter,
about old and wornout 'Jack." 1t would seem
but reasonable, that the common sailor, in his
days of decrepiude, after having spent the best
years of his life in sustaining the flag of his
country, is entitled alike with his worn-out
Commander, to the fostering care of their COM
mon Government. Lieut.. Porter makes the re-
markable statement that out of the 6S Captains
now on the Navy Register, not one was born in
the United States, and of the 81 Commanders,
fifty were not born in this country OF this
number he continues, SS have been over 40 years
in the Navy, and employed in all the wars in
which the country has been engaged. The
youngest Captain in this list cannot be less than
Sc years old the eldest is known to be border
ing on so. The eldest Captain entered the Ma
Wy III the last century and has been in it 55
years; the youngest Captain has been in it a
years. The eldest Commander has been in the
Navy Al years; the youngest 81 years. To
reach the foot of this list of Captains requires
IL years; and. under the present regulation, the
naval aspirant will have arrived at the age of
81 years before he is entitled to command fri
gate.

Go IT GALs.-A dispute relative to mining
claim was settled few days since in the Pitts
burg diggings, in the following novel style The
better-halves" in this case we may, perhaps,
say the two-thirds,) Of one party of the bellige-
rents went to work in the claim in dispute, with
rocker shovel and pick determined to hold it
noleas roens, if needs be, VI ct ar,ns Accordingly
when the opposing party-who were not SO
lucky as to possess that species of chatte known
under the nomenclature of wife"-made their
appearance, and proceeded to set their :" TOM
just fernenst the sluice box of the party of the
first part, they were suddenly assailed with
stones, from the size of hens egg up to that of
large piece of white chalk. OF course they
vamosed in double-quick time, leaving the claim
in the hands of the victorious females. Again
we say, go it gals go in and win small farm !!

Frem Yrck. .pa Oregon.

We are under obligations to MIR. Horsely, OF
Cnm, Rogers & Cos Express, for the Mouatain
Herald of the 18Th inst. Also for Oregon papers
to the 18th ult.
A writer in the Herald advocates the estab-
lishmert of new Territory out of Northern Cal
ifornia and Southern Oregon. We are under
the impression that there are but very few men
Uent at this time. However, it is a splendid
ield for would-be Judges, Senators, Governors,
Sc.
Another writer, Mr.. John D. Cosby, argues
through about four columns in opposition to that
portion of the last annual message of Gov. Big
Ter, recommending reduction of the number
OF judicial districts. The letter is written with
more than ordinary ability, and contains some
very strong reasons why the proposed reduc-
ton should not be made.
The Herald opposes the election of U. s. Sem
ator this winter, or rather that paper urges the
propriety Of electing some ten or dozen
T. S. Senators for the next thirty-six years"
There is about five hundred families on the
plains near Scottsburg, prevented from being
travelled by the high water.
The Oregon Spectator learns from Mr.. Thomp-
son that two immigrant families had just arrived
few days before he left the Dalles. They
brought up the rear of the immigrants. They
had been induced to cross Snake river above
Fort Boise, and while travelling on that side,
the Indians stole all their stock. From that time
they had TO travel on foot; and there were sew
eral small children among the number. For
subsistence they had to depend upon the benev-
olence of the Indian s, the sCayuses principally,
who gave them salmon and other Iudian muck
a-muek sufficient to keep them alive until they
got among the whites. Their situation can be
more easily imagined than described.
