ASSAULT PREsIDEST.--Presiden
Pierce was assaulted ON the 5th of August at the
Capitol On alking down the steps of the
eastern fascade he was accosted by three indi-
viduals, evidently under the influence of re-
cent spree, who asked him to go and take
drink. Mr. Pierce, not being in the humor, po-
Iitely declined the proffered civility saying that
he was not in the habit of taking drinks and he
was thereupon pelted with stale eggs, which his
would be entertainers designedly happened TO
have in their coat pockets Some Of the Auxil-
iary Guard rushed to the rescue, and took the
factious gentleman into custody. An e4amina-
ton was had before Capt. Dunningtonj when
Que witness testified that he saw Jefferds with
an egg in his hand few minutes previous TO the
assanlt--another testified that he him
throw in the direction of the President, and
another that he saw him throw an egg at and
hit the President. The Justice decided to
hold LETTERS TO bail, and the accused sent for
Senator Evans, who declined becoming ball.
He then sent for another. In the meantime,
becoming more sober, he cried bitterly, declar-
ing that if sent to Jail he would not be living
He then took out small knife and stabbed him
self in the leg, just above the knee, saying he
was determined to bleed to death AS the
blood flowed profusely he became alarmed, and
allowed it to be examined, and was disarmed.-
The Attorney General then communicated to
Capt. Dunnington the desire OF the President
that the prisoner be not prosecuted, and he was
accordingly discharged.

The TIDE TURNED.--The New York Herald
publishes the manifest of the bark w. g. Lewis,
from San Francisco to New York. which shows
that she is loaded with goods returned from the
California market The Herald thereupon
marks " If any one, three years ago, had fore
told that in 1854 California would be shipping
axes, hammers, STEEL rifles, books. tea and
drugs, to New York, he would have been looked
upon as a madman So it is, however AS
usual, the merchants have overdone the bust
ness.

From RUSSIAN AMERIcA.-The schooner Eu-

on the 18th inst, in a passage OF 33 days from
the mouth of the Ochatsk sea, with cargoe of
oil, taken from American vessels, consigned to
G. B. Post & Co.
The EudoTus brings vast amount of valuable
whaling intelligence, and an interesting account
OF her reception at the port of Ayan, by the
Russian commander
We give the account in Capt Seaman's Ian
suage
The Eudoras has been absent seven months
from this port Has been To Oregon, the Sand
wich Islands, and Ayan, IN the Russian Amerl-
can settlements, where we were kindly received
by the Governor, captain in the Russian Navy.
He is exceedingly polite and attentive TO those
American whalers who visit that port render
ing them every assistance in his power, in case
of need The news of the war had been re-
celved a few days previous to the arrival of the
EudoruS on the arrival OF the Eudorus, the
Governor sent one of his canoes, to ascertain
who and what she was. When he found her to
be an American, he offered every assistance.
and was very obiging and attentive to us during
our stay. This port is visited by large num-
Der of whaers during the season; the inhabit-
ants number about seventy persons. Provisions
of all kinds scarce. The bays in the vi
cinity are continually full of ice all the year,
with the exception of about ak weeks. The
ice did not leave the bays up to the 22d of July,
being later than usual.
The news of the war with England and
France was received from ST. Petersburgh by
the mail which communicates monthly with the
great Capital and these provinces.

TIVE SALT LAKE NEAR Los ANGELos.-The
Southern Californian gives the following de
scription of the Salines near that city:
should Judge that the lake covers an area OF
about sixty acres, and averages from three to
five feet deep. 1t is situated about SIX hundred
wards from the ocean which at this point makes
into the land aud makes a safe and beautiful
bay. Vessels may anchor with safety within a
very short distance of the salt-works. By tdst-
ing the water in the lake, person is at once
convinced that it has subterrauean .commu-
nication with the ocean, as has been supposed
by some. The extreme satness OF the water is
beyond description; and the most singular fact
of all is, that by digging to the depth Of from
six to eight feet, you can procure beautiful fresh
water, within len feet Of the side OF the lake.
The company now have IN operation ten very
large kettles, and are engaged IN boiling out salt
day and night. With the facilities they already
have, they can take out 5000 pounds OF as fine,
beautiful and white salt, as was ever manuiac-
tured. The operation bids fair to remunerate
each Of the company with fortune.

| TaE WAR.--Europe is awake to the fact that
the ghtest resources required by the mag
;, nitude of the struggle IN which it has become
involved by the difficulties between Turkey
and Russia. If there ever existed a doubt, none
| exists now that the Emperor of Russia will not
abate one jot of his orr ginal demands, and that
| the reverses he has suffered the Danube
| have not induced HIM 10 swerve from the pre-
| tensions which he arrogantly advanced
year and half ago. Such resolution can be-
| token nothing less than protracted war but
as the forces of Austria will now, by conditions
of her own making, be brought into action, ant
as the unanimity Of France aud England is en-
tire aud uuchangeable, it is confidently predict
ed that the resut of the conflict viii be the dis
comfiture and chastisement OF that Power whose
overbearing ambition has brought such calami-
ty upon the world.
The Turkish official account Of the battle OF
Giurgrove of the 9TH claims TIE entire glory ot
the affair for the Ottoman arms. and tue iuriher
details which have reached US OF the GLORIOUS
siege of Silistria. places that event upon level
with The most heroic defences OF ancient or
modern times. The combined squadrons had
left Baltschik on the lth inst. II was SAID they
gone in search of the Russian fleet, which was
reported, we presume falsely, TO have lett Sc
bastopol. The Turkish fleet had returned 10 the
Bosphorus without having engaged in any i'm
portant service.
THE RALTIc.-Accoydlng TO advlCes from mo
Baltic, martial law had been proclaimed at Ri
ga and the district of the Duna, in consequence
of the hostility manifested by The inhabitants
toward the Russian Government.
By advices received from the White Sea. 1t
appears Her Majesty's squadron had captured
some Russian vessels, corn laden, as also war
schooner, called the Wolga. which have been
| sent home to England for condemnation. Two
French ships-ofwar, the Beaumanor and
Psyche have joined The rendezvous at Hamer-
| fest.
| The expedition of troops to the Baltic will
| comprise $4,000 men, namely $4,000 French
| add 5000 English troops.
| Bomarsund, in the Aand Isles, is te be bonn
| barded on the arrival of the French troops
| The feet has left Baro Sound, and the cholera
has nearly disappeared.
| The British squadron, consisting OF two three
deckers three two-deckers and three paddle
steamers, passed the Great Belt up the Baltic,
without having stopped. 1t is expected that
they have gone to the Akland Isles, there to
meet the Baltic fleets of both countries, and to
| take possession of them permanent station
