DEcEIvNG THE EMMIGRANTs,--A story has
been circulated in Liverpool, and has been re-
peated in Cork and Limerick with many addi-
tons, that the United States will give 160
acres of land to the chief of every family ar
irving at the ports of New York and Boston. .
That is founded on the Nebraska bill, no doubt
The effect will be astonishing every man who
can raise, borrow or beg three pounds sterling
will embark for the United States. When this
" half told tale" reaches Antwerp, Bremen and
Amsterdam, it will greatly increase emigration
These emigrants have no idea of the distance d
Nebraska from the Atlantic shore, and The
"runners take care not to say any thing
about it.

CosT OF A PIRATICAL EXPEDlTION.-The Lon
don Times, as was stated day or two ago, de-
scribed the capture of Washington by the British
in 1914, as sslittle more than piratical and
fruitless surprise"
a glance, says the National Intelligenoer, at
the cost of an expedition which shed g so much
glory'' upon the arms of the marauder, may not
be uninteresting:
Gen. Ross, in his official account of the affair,
says it was suggested by Sir George Cockburn,
who accompanied the army on the occasion, and
aiyes his loss as follows: | captain, lienten-
ants, sergeants, 56 rank and file, 10 horses
killed; lieutenant colonies, 1 major, cap
tain, IA lieutenants, ensgns, 10 sergeants, loo
rank and file, and horses, wounded Total, 64
killed 1876 wounded.
The National Intelligencer of the LIST of Sep
TENDER, 1874, says that there were from three
| to four hundred deserters from the British
| army; and, in another paragraph, that thu
| loss of the enemy, in his incursion to the me
tropolis, before he reached his ships, probably
exceeded one thousand men He lost at leas
| two hundred in the battle and by explosion, "a
| Greenleaf's Point,) and three to four hundred
wounded Many died of fatigue, numbers wer
taken prisoners by the cavalry hanging on hi
| rear and not g. few deserted

belonging to the late DR.. EWell and q few day

MURDERS NEAR CAIRO. - According to the
Evansville Journals correspondent, some foul
murders have been committed of late on the
Lower Mississippi. At Dog Tooth Bend, IS
miles from Cairo, difficulty took place between
two men by the name of Alexander and McCama,
the former having gun in his hand at the time,
with which he was endeayoring to shoot the lat
ter A MIR. Jones interfered and separated the
beligerents. Shortly after this conflict, a young
| man by the name Of Arlington arrived on the
| ground, and learning the particulars OF the at
fair, remarked that he g would dislike for Alex
| ander to attack him in that manner, as he be-
| leved it would not be safe for him." Alexan-
/ der, who had retired to stable loft near by,
heard the remark, and, coming down with his
gun in his hand, confronted Arlington and defed
him to repeat it. Arlington attempted to do So,
| but before finishing, Alexander placed the gun
against his forehead and discharged its contents
in his brains Arlington fell o terribly man
gled corpse, and Alexander fed, gained an island
in the Mississippi, were, among the thick growth
of cottonwood, he concealed himself for the night.
A party was Immediately organized and started
in pursuit They found him on the island next
morning, Drought nim pdch, uaa al eAamih"-
ton, convicted him, and accompanied him to the
county Jail, where he now is incarcerated, await
ing the sitting of the Circuit Court in next
October.
Il Eight miles from Cairo, in Missouri, two men
Anderson and Milliken, had a quarrel about q
skiff caught in the river. Next day Anderson
charged his rife, took a seat in his dwelling
commanding view of the front entrance thereto
and dispatched messenger for Millikin, who
expecting settlement of the difficulty, at once
started for Anderson's house. He passed thu
3 gate, but upon attempting to enter the door, wa
pierced through the breast with rifle ball
| falling dead on the spot without even groan
Q The neighborhood was Immediately alarmed, bu
r not in time to secure Anderson. He fed imme
diately and has not been heard of since.

it should be observed that when the patient is

5rea feet long by seventeen IN width; this is
not a large boat; but the st. Croix is not a
large river, and from the representations OF the
officers of the Gray Cloud, we should judge that
this is a very fair beginning in the way OF

THE NEW PAss-Col. Fremont left New York
few days ago for California, with the view of
landing at San Francisco and proceeding thence
to the Sierra Nevada, to fix astronomieally the
position of the Pass which he discovered in that
mountain during his expedition of last winter

"Great stress was laid upon the discovery Of
this Pass, as being excellent in itself, and north
of the Walker and the TETON Passes, and there
fore more in the straight line from St. Louis to
San Francisco, and opening directly into the
rich San Joaquin Valley, near the Southern
gold mines Col. Fremont Judged that Pass to
be about latitude 81 but the Importance which
he attaches to it as point in the Central route
to the Pacific Ocean induces him to go to il
again to fix its position with precision which
