land, elevated from 1000 to 6,O00 feet above
the sea. Tha climate is termed very dry
Wild animals abound there, such as buffaloes,
deer, elk, antelopes, prairie dogs, mountain
sheep, wolves, wild horses, turkeys, etc. Oc-
easonally grizzly bear crosses the track of the
traveller. Those who journey through this
territory subsist much upon the meat of the
buffalo, the meat Of the cows being much pre-
terred to that of the bulls. Deer are much
used fol food, as also a plant called the milk
plant, much eaton by the Indians. Fremont's
account OF his giving chase to the buialocs, in
company with KitCarson and others, is exciting
IN the extreme. One must be good deal of
hOrseman, well as markSman, to cngage in
that hazardous sport. This strcgion is now
almost an unbroken Wilderness. As the terri
'ory is rot organized, the cmigrant has not vet
fixed his eye upon it, except with the hope of
fixing his abode there as soon as the word goes

They tell me that thy virgin breast

BITTER-As an indica tion'of the bitter ha-
tired felt by the Circassans towards the Rus
slams, it is stated that few years sgo,'a slave
ship sprang aleak out to sea, Just Russian
steamer passed in the distance. The Turkish
slave-dealer, who preferred even the chill blasts
of Siberia, TO a grave even in deep water, made
signals Of distress, and the steamer came up in
time to rescue the ship and its living cargo from
destruction. But so deeply is hatred implanted
in every Circassian heart, that the spirit of the
girls revolted at the thought of becoming the
helpmates of the gray-coated soldiers, instead
of sharing the sumpuous couch of Turkish
pasha. They mad bid adieu. to their native
mountains with little emotion, but as the Rus
sian ship approached, they set up terriblean
despairing scream. Some sprang headlong into
the sea. others drove their knives into their
hearts; to these heroines, death was preferable
to the bridal bed of a detested Muscovite. The
survivors were taken to Anapa, and married to
Cossacks, Or given to officers as servants.

Gore Parker's recent speech on the Nebraska
Bill in Fanueil Hall. 1t is fine specimen of
eloquence:
"Gentlcmen, am no mailman. / am cool,
calm man, who has studied the facts of our ma
tons history, and know them well. | have
studied the ideas which were the programme Of
principles in the revolution, and which were
the programme of purpose in the formation of
the constitution, and it is to these great truths,
there embodied and written by God in the hearts
Of men, that | call your attention, and | ask
you to swear allegiance by your wives and your
children, by the bones Of your mothers that are
underground, and by the soul of the Almighty
God whose higher law rules earth and sea, and
sky, and time, and eternity. Loud cheers. +
Well, if We are beaten on the Nebraska mea-
sure, and on the othel measures, let US retreat
with our face TO the foe, never finching, losing
everything but our honor. Let us fight the
battle from line to line, from State to State,
Until we are driven back TO old Massachusetts.
Then let us fight it from town to town until
we are driven back to the old rock of Plymouth,
and there with the soul Of our fathers still in
U.s. taught by the experience OF a hundred
years, and rich with the promise Of all eternity
in our bosoms, let US gather together the last
shreds Of the sacred Mayfower, build our ship,
