Sheep and Snakes.

Willis in his home at "Idlewild. /" is keen
upon the scent Of any thing new or curious.
In talking with an old residenter, he pick
ed up the following item:
Wondering, that, in two years &C.
quaintantance with SO wild place as the
glen, had seen but two snakes, he said
that snakes were slow to come back after
they were once driven away. And sheep
drove these away. Not thatthe sheep were
the enemy of the snake, for they never
took any notice of one, that he knew Of.
But snake must be where he can sleep
uninterrupted, and, puts flock where you
please, they will walk over all the ground
they can get at-good feed in one corner

NKBRAsKAB BILL.-One of the objections
which some have made to this measure is
that it is untrue that the whole subject of
slavery is left in the hands of the people Of
Nebraska and Kansas to decide, since the
law provides that every act of the Terri
torial Legislature is to be submitted to
Congress and ratified by that body before
it goes into operation. Such was the ORR
ginal draft of the enactment, it being
copied in that respect from other Terrific
rial Bills; but that clause was stricken out
on motion of Senator Douglas before the
bill passed the Senate; SO that the sover-
eignity of the people over the matter is
complete in all respects Gin. Eng.

"Within q short time, the steamer ar

of last week. The happy groom has buff

old Ireland, they were betrothed, but the
purse proud parents of the girl prevented
her nuptials with the choice of her heart,
and forced her to wed with age and
wealth. Her love left the home of his
boyhood, and sought in this country by
distance and absence from his hearts idol

A DESPERATE RENcoNTRE.--We learn
from passenger, who arrived here on
the Lexington, from New Orleans, that q
desperate fight took place last week be-
tween Mr.. Delahunt, of Kentucky, and
Mr.. Ferguson, of Indiana. The rem
contre occurred few miles. below Mem
phis, on the Mississippi, in the course of
which Ferguson drew pistol and fred at
Delahunt, the ball passing through his
coat collar The latter then drew bowie
knife and used it SO effectually on the body
Of the former, that but slight hopes were
entertained Of his life. Delahunt gave
himself up to the proper authorities, and
was acquitted after an examination of
the affair.--Louis. Gour.

A Veteran Printer.

AT meeting Of editors and newspaper
publisher on the 22d .ult., during the re-
tirement of committee, our esteemed
fellow citizen, Nathaniel Willis, Esq, made
some interesting historical remarks in re-
lation to his experience during bis sixty
years connection With the press. He
worked in Court street, when-a youth, in
the same Office in which Benz. Franklin
once labored as printer. His father,
Nathaniel Willis, published the 'Indepen.
dent Chronicle in Boston, before the
Revolution. Mr.. Willis, about fifty years
ago, established the Eastern Argus, in
Portland. Nearly forty years ago he
started the Boston Recorder and when
he was about sixty years of age, commen-
ced the publication Of the Youths Com
panion.' All three of these journals are
now published. Mr.. Willis gave some
excellent advice to his young friends pres
ent, in regard to their profession. His
comments upon the changes he had wit
messed during his life, were all of an in
teresting character. He closed by wish
ing all present the choicest blessing OF
heaven in that branch of toll and labor to
which they were devoted. For the bene-
fit of our distant readers, we will state
Mr.. Willis is the father of N. P Willis,
one of the Editors of the Home Journal,
of New York, whom merely to name is
sufficient to awake sentiment of esteem
and admiration for one of the most agree
able prose writers that our country has
produced, and poet whose numbers will
live to delight future age, and place him
in the foremost rank of those who have
invested wit with modesty and decorum,
and added grace and innocence to the re-
fnement of fashion.-Boston Trans.

ed herself ON the outer logs The cars
passed by hsr and over the child without
doing any injury to either.

The Charcter of Gardiner.

The Charcter of Gardiner.
The Richmond Enquirer. in an article
upon the GARDINER transaction. very lust.
lysays: +
Nobody can contemplate the conduct Of
Gardiner throughout the affair without
conceiving an admiration for the qualities
Of courage and sagacity which he dis
played in so eminent'a degree. To con-
struct an immense and coherent system
Of fevidence on q fictitious basis-to weave
An infinite diversity of detail into con-
sistens story, and TO select and har.
monize every minute particular, that the
ksenest snd subtlestintellect could hardly
detect flaw or bresk in the whole fabric,
surely implies apower Of comprehension
and patient analysis which the. greatest
men rarely possess. The foundation of
Gardeners claim, was pure fiction yet
the sblest counsel were bafied when they
sought in the multiplicity of details in
volved in the plot, some inconsistency or
incompleteness which should reveal the
fraud sa us- g. silva 80.
No less extraordinary were the courage
and fortitude which Gardner displayed
throughout the trial. The most sudden
yicissitudes of fortune, lifting him at one
time to the highest elevation of hope, and
at another, sinking him into the lowest
depths of despair; did not shake his irwin.
chile resolution. From first to last, he
bore himself with courage which par
took of the heroic. His spirit sank under
the burden Of infamy, but he maintained
even in death perfect command of himself.
If he was without honor, he yet had that
pride of soul which shrinks not from the
sharp antidote against disgrace" The
consistency of his character was vindicat-
ed in the manner of his death. r
In person small, Gardiner supplies an
other in stance of CRATE strength of will,
working on the basis of a delicate physical
organization. asatl4 .s.. st asa.t
The chief criminal in this great con.
spiracy against the public treasury has
fearfully expiated his guilt, but his &C.
completes have not yet been brought to
justice. Nobody believes that Gardiner
was the onlyagent in the fraud which en-
rlched lawyers at the bar, and judges on
the bench; while many contend that he was
the passive instrument of ADLER and more
influential men. The plot should be trac-
ed out in all its ramifcations, and every
guilty beneficiary of the Gardiner claim
should be exposed and be made to disgorge
his ill-got gain. For the credit Of the
country, and the ends Of justice, we trust
the government will not rest content with
the conviction of Gardiner. 81

Horrible Tragedy in Shasta County.

hOTflDfc Tragedy IN SHASTA county.
We find the following account of hor-
rible tragedy, committed by the Indians,
in the Sacramento Journal:
Two white men, one named Guild, the
other Ingalls,, while on prospecting tour,
in company with nineteen Cinnamon, were
murdered on McCloud's River, twenty
miles east of Pittsburg, Shasta county,
by the Indians. They were csmped, and
fifteen Indians came into the camp. The
white mems guns were stacked near them.
The Indians appeared friendly at first, but
at word from the chief they seized the
guns and ran with them. Ingalls, seized
club and struck the hindmost Indian, and
knocked him down. The Indians imme-
diately commenced firing on Guild and
Ingalls,, and also at the Cinnamon. Six
OF the Chinamen escaped, and came to
Pittsburg. A party started out immedi-
ately, and found the body of Ingalls,; one
arm cut off at the elbow, and his head
smashed up horribly with stones. They
also found the bodies Of thirteen China.
men; three had their arms cut of, and oil
their heads had been smashed In with
stones. The body or Guild could not b.
found. They saw tlscks which they sup:
posed to be his, leading down to the river.
They also saw marks of IN kxe, which
they supposed he fought with. and they
concluded he had jumped into the rive
From appearances, some of the Chinamen
had fought like tigers, the ground around
them being completely trodden down: >
