SODA SPRING IN THE DEsERr-The Alta Californian says; "The party engaged in the survey of public lands, under MT. Pool, found at point about fifty miles east of San Felip in San Diego county, singular collection of fountains or springs of soda water situated in a sandy plain or depression of the surface of the desert. The spring is in a mound of symme- trical shape, tapering like sugar loaf, in the center of the top of which is a hole, unfatho- mable, containing the carbonated beverage fresh from some natural laboratory below. Some of these mounds are six feet high, and clothed with a luxuriant coat of grass, while others are shaped like an inverted bowl, and fringed by a growth of cane. The water is described as having the same sparkling and effervescing qua, lity as that ordinarily sold by apothecaries and was drank with avidity by both men and ani- mals belonging to the party. When impreg- mated with acid of any kind, it produced instant effervescence: and in that form is peculiarly re- freshing as adrink. Some of it has been brought in, in order to be chemically tested with view to make the discovery of some practical utility"

ARKANSAS GIRLs--The Memphis Express tells the following story of afriend of the edi- tors who went over into Arkansas recently, to attend "break-down," that is, dance:
 "The ladies, upon the occasion, were arrayed in their best, with all the gay colors that an uncultivated taste could suggest. The gentle men were dressed in homespun, clothes, and none but our friend had broad-cloth upon his back During the evening, sweet potatoes of an enormous size, roasted in the ashes, were handed round to the company together with handful of salt for each guest. beautiful young lady soon became smitten with our friend (perhaps with his magni6ed mustaches,) and resolved to dance with him. She thereupon turned to friend and addressed her in these words:
 "'Sal, hold my tater while trotround with that nice hoss what's got on store clothes
 "Our friend was clinched accordingly; he could not extricate himself from the grip of tho rustic beauty, and was obliged to 'trot round' after her for one mortal hour before he could obtain respite from his labors. He made his escape the first opportunity, resolving that he would never again go to an Arkansas break down."

MurderOus Assault.

On Saturday night, about 9 o'clock, an as. sault was made, near Lynchs store, Garrison Avenue, on the person of James Cornwell, by three men, with knives and pistols, named Benjamin and William Harmon, and man who goes by the name of Buck Isham Corn- we'll was stabbed in several places, and is con- sidered in dangerous condition by his phy- sicians. And man, friend of Cornwell, by the name of Thompson, received stab, but it is slight. Cornwell had no arms, and there is no doubt but the object of these three men was to kill him, as they made their escape immedi- ately after stabbing him, and are now at large.
 A reward of one hundred dollars is offered for their arrest, by the authorities of the city, and subscription of nearly one hundred dol lars has also been made up by the citizens :oi the town.-Foyt Smith Herald Sept g.

Translated from the French The Circassians and the Sale of Beautiful Slave Girls.
TeM'zond, May 26, 1

4foOt@WNt ~, AOOf.
 A few days ago there arrived at the quaran- tine of Trebizond about two hundred Circas- sians with live cargo of great variety, but which they found some difficulty in disposing of by reason of the pecuniary straits in which purchasers are just now placed. The traders, who are steady friends of Shamyl, the Maho- met of the Caucasus, and the bitter and deter mined enemies of Nicholas, whom in their fgu- rative language they call the Vulture of the Shows, had for sale forty packages of human flesh. They were made up of dozen chil- dren of from four to eight years old, and of thirty females ranging between b and 3O.- The quarantine doctor asked me to accompa- ny him on his visit to this strange spectacle- The superintendent of the Lazaretto made the merchants and their wares stand in a line, so that we had an opportunity of making tho- rough examination of the parties. The Cir cassans were all very fine men, large, tall and strong. Their figure was as exqusitely beau tiful as that of woman; their limbs were plump and muscular their hands and feet were small; their complexion was sswarthy-produc- ed by exposure to the mountain air-but their countenances, notwithstanding, bore the inn press of gentleness and manly courage; their chests were full and rounded, and their step as proud as that of monarch upon the stage.- Their costGme was very picturesque. It con- sisted of great coat ornamented with the lambski, and which fitted closely; of trousers cut after the Turkish fashion, and made of lght-colored cloth; of cap of grey felt with band of lambskin the wool of which was long and curled. They wore red slippers with out stockings, and cloak of lambskin or of felt, with which they wrapped themselves with the utmost dignity.
 After having visited the merchants we ap- preached the individuals they had for sale, as near as the guards would permit us. The little Circassians and the females were ranged before the doors of the cells, and from their anxious air seemed to inquire if we were about to pur- chase them. The children were beautiful, both in form and in countenance. Yet the lat- CT did not exhibit that infantile grace which is so observable in Europeans. They had al. ex- pression of gravity not unmixed with care which almost made us regard them as little men who had already experienced the trials and diff faculties of life. Young as they were, they seemed as if they had already passed through the term of their existence Their. look was that of deep reflection, their gait was slow and staid, their stare was piercing and inquisitive, their mouthz pinched and serious.

VALUABLE INFORMATION WANTED.-The Chambersburg (Pa) Sentinel wants to know the precise time when the whigs became so ter ribly frightened at the idea of Roman Catholic usurpations, and the evils created by the for eigners exercising the right of suffrage and holding office. Was it within year and half, or two years of the time Gen. Scott heard the " rich Irish brogue" and sweet German ac- cent" or was it about the time the whigs sent a committee to Concord to find out if Gen. Pierce did not vote to dsfranchise Catholics for conscience sake?
 The Sentinel has caught the whig K'oao- Notsings just in the same predicament that Ge- neral Scott told the ladies of Carrollton, Ky, they had caught him in.-Eaq.
