luded to in the PIONEER of yesterday, Sur
yeyor and companion Of Col FREMONT in
the discovery of the best route to California

"Some four years ago he was sun-struck in
California which more or less affected his
mind ever since. About a week ago the NAL
ady became worse, arrangement appearing,
when he was kept at home and carefully at
tended to-. Day before yesterday he walked
out and went to the Penitentiary, where he
asked the keeper to furnish him ROOM The
keeper put him off in kind manner, when he
left the building and no trace of him could be
found until last evening, when his dead body
was found back of the farm of Clark Mills,
Esq, near Bladensburgh. In his insanity he
had wandered away from home and persisted

Connecticut Clocks.

England formerly purchased her cheap clocks
OF German manufacture, mostly made in Schar.
wzweltz; but since the introduction of the
American clock, their beauty and cheapness
has nearly annihilated the trade with Germa-
ny. About one fourth of the clocks made in
the United States find market in England
for home consumption and shipping. The
following statistics will show the amount OF
capital employed, the number of hands, and
the number of clocks made in each year.

A Gallant Com Blatant.

The Constantinople correspondent of the
London Times gives the following account
Of the last struggle Of Lieut.. BURKE, who
fell at Giurgevo:
Mr.. Burke's body was found after the action
in which he lost his life, with no less than 33
wounds upon it. The Russians had taken his
sword belt, but his sword was found hidden in
some long grass close to the corpse. The ring
finger of both hands was cut of: He was seen
by the sapper who went with him, fighting
desperately to the last, though surrounded by
q horde of Russians. When he first leaped on
shore from the boat, six soldiers charged him.
Two he shot with his revolver, one he cut
down with his sword-the rest turned and fed.
While he was encouraging the Turks, who
were in the stream, to row quietly to the land,
and forming them in line as they landed,
conspicuous as he was in full uniform and by
his white cap cover a number of rihemen ad-
vanced from behind ditch, and took deliber-
ate aim at him. Poor Burke charged them
with headlong gallantry. AS he got near he
was struck by ball, which broke his jaw
bone, but he rushed on, shot three men dead
at close quarters with his revolver, and cleft
two men through helmet and all into the brain.
He was surrounded, and while engaged in cut
ting his way with heroic courage through the
ranks of the enemy, sabre cut from behind,
given by dragoon as he went by, nearly sew
cred his head from his body, and he fell dead,
covered with bayonet wounds, sabre gashcs,
and marked with lance thrusts and bullet holes.
The sapper who was with him stood by Mr..
Burke till the last, but could not save him.
He is now recovering from his wounds and the
effect of his eXertiOns

The Yellow Fever at Savannah.

The accounts from Savannah are indeed
deplorable. The Daily Courier has sus
pended publication in consequence of not be
ing able to procure hands. The Georgian
of the 9th says:
For some time we have added little to the
sad tale daily told by the interment reports, OF
the destruction that is wasting our population
carrying death to so many homes, anguish
to so many hearts. Disappointed in our first
cautiously expressed anticipation of an carly
abatement of the mortality, we have remained
silent, in the hope that each succeeding day
would enable US to give positive assurance that
the disease was vanishing from our midst
Alas that hope is still deferred
In proportion to the population of this city,
we have reason to fear that the number of sick
is greater while we write than at any previous
period. Yet we have no reason to change the
opinion already given, that the epidemic is not
of peculiarly malignant type. 1t is not the
necessarily fatal character of the disease so
much as the immense number afflicted, that
makes the picture now presented so dark and
appalling.
Under the treatment now generally pursued,
we are convinced that, with physicians sufli-
cicntly numerous to afford prompt advice, and
nurses to give adequate attention, the mortali-
ty might be reduced, almost Immediately, one
half, perhaps three-fourths. But with the
cases certainly not diminishing, while the ener-
gies and strength of the physicians are neces-
sarily failing, we know not when to expect to
see the end, or even any important improve
ment.
AS might be expected, the business of the
city is almost suspended. The largest and
leading hotel-the Pulaski-closed to-day
1t is intimated, we hope enormously, that the
Marshall, next in size, will soon do the same.
Half the boarding houses have been deserted
by their keepers.
Our reporter has counted west of Bull street
Sc business houses, all shut up. "Closed on
account of Sickness meets the eye at every
turn, as we walk through our beautiful city,
Yes, BEAUTIFUL for never seemed its outward
aspect more lovely. For as he looks upon its
squares mantled with green, who can realize
that he is in the midst of death? 1t is only as
the hearse, with it's mournful train, passes
slowly along that he is aroused to the sad re-
ality.

We were yesterday informed by one of the
agents of the Stage Company, the particulars
of duel which took place on Monday last,
in field on Mr.. Brenson's farm, a few miles
from Alexandria, and within half mile of the
turnpike, between two gentlemen of this city.
Some time since, Mr.. Henry H. Short, Jr,
clerk, on Fifth street, became attached to
beautiful young lady, residing on Eighth street,
and to whom he soon engaged himself to be
married. Mr.. Short, about month ago, went
to Philadelphia on visit to his parents, who
reside Oh Chestnut street, in that city. Dur
ing his absence he received letter from
brother clerk that his bctrothcd lady-loyc was
keeping company with young climb of the
law" named Alexander Peacock, now resi-
dent of Chicago, but native of this CITY,
The letter gave Mr.. 3. reason to believe that
Peacock and his lady-lOve were engaged. Mr.
S. returned home on Wednesday evening last
and found that all had not been told him-that
p. had sandered him and DETAINED his charac-
ter to the young lady, and thus won her affec-
tions. Determined to have an explanation, he
wrote to Peacock and the lady, and demanded
the same. They both treated him coldly and
requested Mr.. S. not to annoy them with his
communications young lady at the same
time returning her engagement ring. This 50
enraged Mr.. s. that he sent challenge to
Mr.. p, which was accepted, and rifles were
chosen as the weapons. Seconds were appoint
ed who fixed the place of meeting and time as
stated above. No persons were present ex-
cept two friends of each party, and their sec
onds. At the first fire no injury was sustained
by either of the duelists. An effort was then
made to reconcile the difficulty, but neither
party would listen to any compromise and the
parties were ordered to their posts for the sec.
Ond fire. The word was given, and Mr.. S. fell
bleeding to the ground, the ball having taken
effect in his left shoulder. He was then picked
up and taken to Mr.. BrcnsOn's, the farmers
house, and his wound was dressed. He is con-
sidered in critical condition 1t is now un.
derstood that when the young lady learned
what had happened, she refused to have any.
thing to do with either of the parties, and has
resolved to break off all engagements with
each of the gentlemen.-Cm. Gas., 9TH.

s. Two Ways to Live OH Earth.o
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

There are two ways to live on earth
Two ways to judge-to aet--to view;
For all things here have double birth
right and wrong-a f,lse and true
Give me the home where Kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small
Where every lip in fontness speaks,
And every mind hath care for all.
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
or pleasures, fee from vain expense
Whose thoughts beyond their means ne err range,
Nor wise denials give offence.
Who in a neighbours fortune find
No wish-nO mpul,e-tO complain
Who feel not-ncver felt-the mind
To envy yet another's gain
Who dream not Of the mockng tide
Ambitions filled endeavOrs meet
The bitter pangs of wounded pride,
Nor fallen power that shuns the street.
Though f,te deny its glttcring store,
loves wealth is still the wealth to choose
For all that gold can purchase more
Are gauds it Is no loss to lose
Some beings, wheresoe er they go,
Find nOught to please, or to eNalt,
Their constant study but to show
Perpetual modes Of finding fault.
While others in the ceaseless round
Of daily wants and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground,
And tuice enjoy the joy they share.
Oh happy they who happy make
Who, blessing, still themselves Uest-
Who something spare for others sake,
And strive in all things for the best

Mob at Carlyle-RailrOad Track Torn UP

The St. Louis Inteligeneer learns that, ow-
ing to disagreement between the contractors
and sub-contractors on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railroad at Carlyle, arising from dis
pute as to the estimate of the work, which the
sub-contractors affirm to be too low, proceeded
to tear up the track for the distance of about
300 feet, and have placed Instructions upon
the road by which travel is for the present
stopped.
We regret to hear of such proceedings as
these. Messrs. Sanger, Camp & Co., the con-
tractors, are responsible men, and good for any
legal claim which may be made upon them
Demonstrations of this sort never right a
wrong. The sub-contractors engaged in this
disturbance are Messrs Rogers & Dennie.

AN ALPINE BEAR.-The Gazette de Sa-
ro'c relates the following somewhat singular
adventure, which is said to have taken place
in the Commune of Willard Upper Savoy ::
Two shepherds who had charge of drove
of heifers, had just laid out their provisions on
the ground in order to take their meal, when
they were suddenly pounced upon by a large
bear; who, after having devoured all the prov
ender he found, threw himself on one Of the
shepherds and began to tear his clothes to
pieces. While the bear was thus occupied.
the heifers, eighty in number, formed into
semicircle, and making regular charge on the
intruder, drove him from the grouud, and re-
leased their keeper from certain death. The
other man had taken to flight at the first an
pearance of Bruin, and having witnessed the
whole affair in safety.

A9 The London Times, in the course of a
recent editorial review of the various naval
invasions chronicled in the worlds history, ad-
mits that "the success of the British force that
dashed up the Potomac, and then speedily beat
aretreat, cam hardly be considered an affair of
legitimate warfare, using little more than a
piratical and fruitless surprise On an unarmed
and unsuspecting population" This is a note
worthy confession.
