We learn from the Oregon Statesman,
that thescompany Of U. S. soldiers under
Major Haller, had succeeded in taking Eve
Snake Indians near Fort Boise; and that,
in attempting to escape, four of them were
killed, and the fifth wounded. The Indi-
ans were supposed to have been portion
of the band that committed the late depre-
dations, as silver cup, belonging to a
German, who was murdered, was found in

A RAMBLE IN JAPAN.--A writer from
the American Japan Squadron states that
the chaplain of the expedition, Rev. Mr..
BittiDger, took occasion during the prog.
ress of the late treaty to visit the large
cities Of Kanagawa and Kasaeca, situated
some fifteen or twenty miles distant from
the ships. The population of Kauagawa,
he says, is from one TO two hundred thou
sand. Immense crowds thrOnged the
streets as he passed, and finally messen-
ger was sent before him to Oblge the peo-
pie to pack themselves close up to the
houses, thus leaving the centre of the road
clear to our traveller. Mr.. Bittinger en-
tered many of their houses, aud found them,
though furnished in primitive style, clean,
neat and comfortable, when compared with
other oriental dwellings of the same class.
He entered several temples, and vas treat
ed cOurteously by ALL The cities be yis-
tied were each about six miles long, with
wide, well-formed streets. On his return.
he found that everything that had occurred
during bis excursion had been noted by
the japanese officials, even the number Of
buttons on his coat being recorded.

From this it appears that, four years
since, the Irish, though more numerous
than the natives of any one country in Eu-
rope, yet numbered less than one half our
entire population. Since the census returns,
the immigration from the continent of Eu-
rope, particularly from Germany and
France, has largely increased---to such an
extent, indeed, that the German is, at this
time, claimed to be the predominating ele-
ment in our foreign population.

ExPREss COMPANIES. = The Baltimore

nies, says: .'..f t. 'I ,1sl
The business which was commenced q
few years ago by single messenger with
a carpet bag, has now connections in every
portion Of our vast country, employing q
capital over $4,000, 900. 1t is estimated
that the freights daily conveyed to and
from New York city amount 10 100 tons.
The companies that have survived the
competition to which the profitable nature
Of the business has yearly subjected them
since their first origin, are those Of Adams

Harnden, the United States Express Com
pany Ian ofshot Express Company, Ber-

and Edwards, Sandford a Co. The last
two are principally engaged In the CalifOr-

1t has been calculated that the messen-
gers Of six firms travel at the rate Of about
81 900 miles day, in the following pro-
portions Adams & Co.'S, 10000; the

MORE ABOUT PETRoPAULowsKI - From
the Echo dW PdeifqNe we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars concerning the attack on
Petropaulowski. 1t appears that the at
tack had commenced before the nnfortu-
nate accident happened, by which the
English Admiral lost his life. II was on
the evening of the 29th August, at 81
o'clock, the FirdgO received orders from
the frigate President TO approach the near.
est island. She did so, and opened a FIRE
on the Russian batteries. This FIRE was
returned from the town by throwing shells,
which, however, falling short Of the ships,
burst without inficting any injury Ad-
miral Price also issued orders to the gun
ner Of the Pique to direct his ere on the
battery Of Schakoff, and to dsmonht a
gun. The gunner did so, and succeeded in
dismounting it, This had the effect Of ST.
lencing the battery. The vessels then pro
ceeded to take up their positions for the
engagement. At this time q boat was
seen to leave the side Of the Pique and
row towards the Forte. 1t was ascertained
that the English Admiral had been shot
accidentally by q pistol in his own hand,
the ball penetrating his heart. The drums
beat retreat, and the preparations for
the fight were suspended. I'D aa 9ou
On the 3lst Of August, in the morning,
the Sohakoff battery opened fire, the
Pique answered it, and the fighting COM
menced in earnest. The principal loss Of
life, as before stated, was in attempting to
land. In this account of the Russian ship
Sitka, the cargo is valued at $500, 900. !

FTOm Ine bOsIOh FOsI.
Warning from Henry Clay.

Henry Clay said, in 1889, and it applies
with ten fold force at the present time;
The abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed
in their present aim Of uniting the inhabi-
tants of the free States as one man against
the inhabitants of the slave States. Union
on one side will beget union on the other,
And this process Of reciprocal consolida-
tiOn will be attended with oil the violent
prGjudices, embittered passions and impla-
cable animOSitieS which ever degraded or
deformed human nature. A mutual disSo-
luton Of the Union will have taken place,
while the forms of its existence remain
The most valuable clement of the union,
mutual kindness, the feelings Of sympathy,
the fraternal bonds, which now happily
unite us, will have been extinguished.-
One section will stand in menacing and
hostile array against the other. The col
lision of opinion will be quickly followed
by the clash of arms, will not attempt to
describe scenes which now happily lie con-
cealed from our view. Abolitionists them
selves would shrink back in dismay and
horror at the contemplation Of desolated
fields, conffagrated cities, murdered inhabi-
tants, and the overthrow Of the fairest
fabric Of human government that ever rose
to animate the hopes Of civilized man.
Nor should these abolitionists fatter them
selves that, If they can succeed in their OBJ
ject Of uniting the people of the free States
they will enter the contest with nume-
rical superiority that must insure victory.
All history and experience proves the
hazard Of and uncertainty of war. And
we are admonshed by Holy Writ that the
race is not to the swift, nor the battle to
the strong. But if. they were to conquer
whom would they conquer? A foreign foe
one who had insulted our flag, invaded
our shores, and laid our country wasteg
No, sir; no, sir. 1t would be a conquest
without laurels, without glory; self, q
suicidal conquest; conquest Of brothers
over brothers, achieved by one over another
portion Of the descendants Of common an
cestorS, who, by nobly pledging their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred honor, had
fought and bled, side by side, in many a
hard battle on land and ocean, severed our
country from the British crown, and estab-
lished our national independence"
Let every man reflect on this, for it is
the prophecy of wise and patriotic states
man. As long as abolitionism was confined
to few fanatics, there was little danger;
but when honest and sensible citizens allow
their feelings to interfere with their regard
for the law Of the land, our existence as a
nation is in danger. . % ~. p. ' .,5

Special Correspondence OF N. American and U. s.
Gazette!
WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
Bedni expresses much chngrin at the fail
ure ofthe State Department to give hlm some
more formal recognition Of his diplomatic
rank than the passport usually rendered such
persons travelling in the United States. This
is probably the cause of Mr.. Cass' resolution
to-day. Bed;niis not accredited on a mission
to our Government.
If Bedni is not accredited to our govern
ment, Gen. Cass has rather degraded his high
Office by noticing his presence in this country
as an ecclesiastical representative of the
Pope as Bishop. Why should he be noticed
any more than Representative from the free
church of Scotland, the church of England,
or OF the Wesleyan Methodist church, all Of
whom have visited this country within the |
past few years; and all of whom waited upon
the President, and who were never thought |
of sufficient importance to be noticed i'm the
Senate. This man Bedini comes here as
the representative of despot who has sub
dued liberty in his own dominions, and who
is, himself, charged with most heinous crimes
against Italian patriots, and because the peo-
pie choose to express their detestation Of his
character, Mr.. Cass must step out OF his way
to defend and goriry him and his master
This he has perfect right to do as plain Mr..
Cass, but as, the representative otthe sovereign
State of Michigan, he had no business with
The matter. There seems to be strange
zeal among politicians and toadies to fawn
upon and aatter Papal dlgni;aries, while
humble Protestant ministers may pass
through the land without MS much as no.
tice of their arrival or departure. 1t is te-
Cause these men love titles and distinctions,
and are ars'octst, in heart, or il is because
Catholics have vote: which can he Influenced
BY su.h mean-. while rrtes,ants never in
luire into such matters. and vo,e on political
