The senior editor Of the Salisbury IN. o. Wing
published. on the nth inst, the following para.
graph in relation to the Congressional nomination
for that district, represented by the Hon. Mr..
Craigc in the late Congress:
at is time for the Wings in this Congressional
district to look around for candidate. Notwith-
standing the district Is Democratic some FIVE or
six hundred majority, we think that owing TO the
general unpopuarity of the Pierce administration
any Wing good and true can be elected We
should be pleased to see some man like Hunt Of
Louisiana, put on the turf--a man Of nerve--who
would when be. backed his ears stand up to the
rack. fodder or no fodder We think the pro.
sent incumbent Tor lncumbrance) can be easily
thrown from his seat by an opponent who has the
courage TO expose his votes and the corruptions
Of this administration
The editor thus relates tho consequences
which followed:
"On Saturday morning last, as we were about
10 enter the passage which leads 10 our private
asked In an angry mEnner by b. Craige, five wrote
the above articlef We turned our bead from the
passage, 10 his hghness, and told him We did. He
then grasped large hickory stick, drew u tremu-
lously from his left arm about half way, and APP
preached US In threatening manner We being
somewhat acquainted with the ways OF the ele-
plant, at once ssluted him very unceremoniously
across the snout with pipe-stem--the only wea-
pom we had. We then struck him several blows
| in the face before lie entered the passage, when
We crasped broom which had been accidentally
left In the passage by servant girl, and cudgeed
him severely with the handle before we were con-
scious Of receiving blow.
Several persons then hearing the noise and
confusion run in, and found US losked IN very
loving e,nbraoe--he trying to do what bis fesrs
would allow, and we giving him the old ward with
an occasional cut and thrust which reminded as Of
our schoolboy days. We believe the philosophy
Of isticuffs and swimming are the same--let the
| first stroke be made--and 1t Is never forgotten.

lstics was long since deadbut It all came back as

Our San Francisco advioes are to the LIST inst
three days later.
The monetary excitement continued TO increase
in San Francisco and other parts of the State, and
the people were rapidly being brought to con-
seriousness of the hollowness of portion of the
business community. They had very nearly or
quite reached the bottom, however, and were
beginning to look around for some substantial basis
on which they might again raise themselves
Among all the establishments which suspended
during the first onset, the house of Wells, Fargo,
4 Co, is the only one that has resumed and re-
established their business operations but il was
presumed that Page, Bacon, 4 Co., with the as
sistance that had been rendered them, would
shortly be enabled to take their stand among the
solvent bankers.
AS for the others--Adams Co., Robinson a
Co., Wright's Exchange Bank, and Read Co., Of
Sacramento--there was very little hope OF their
ever emerging from the vortex, the former and the
last named concerns having applied for the benefit
of the nsolyent act. The extent OF the run on the
banking houses in San Francisco, during the ex-
element may be imagined by reading the follow

The Austin State Gazette, Of the 10th, in no
tcing the fact that the Uuited States and Mexican
commissioners have agreed on the initial point q
the boundary between the two countries, says
"We are now in possession of the whole coun-
try through which railroad In this latitude may
be made. A friend of ours connected with the
expedition Is of opinion that gold win be found in
the Mesilla Valley as in California and looks for
ward TO the dgy when larger and more perna-
nent population viii be settled in the now outskirts
Of civilization"
The same paper has the following paragraphs
"We are sorry to say that for the last thrse days
we have had an immense confagration In our ce-
dar forests near Austin, and that property 10 tho
amount of mady thousands Of dollars has been de-
stroyed. So great and extensive was this confia-
grafton, that the whole horizon has been enyeioped
with smoke. II is sad calamity, and many others
who had large amounts of rails ready to haul nom
the cedar brakes, win have lost the whole value
OF their labor, and must suffer great delay In
making up their supply Of rails in time TO fence
their field for planting. The woods which are
very dry, were accidentally set ON fire by the burn
ing of brush heap"
The Austin State Times, Of the 10th, has the
following:
"0n Wednesday the thermometer stood at ninety
four degrees on Sunday ninety-six, in the Metro
politan Hotel In of Mr.. Zilller's stone houses,
at o'clock ON Thursday, the mercury stood at
ninety-seven and half degrees. This IL the
warmest weather we have ever known in Texas,
during the month Of March"
The same paper has the following particulars of
the destruction caused by the fire in the cedar
forests in the vicinity
"Mr. Campbels saw-mills and all the lumber on
hand were consumed The fences, outhouses and
stables Of Mr. T. Stone were burnt, also one horse.
Mr.. Slaughter had new wagon burnt; the team
was saved with great difficulty.
"Capt. Grumbles lost five hundred cords Of wood,
twelve thousand rails, about forty head of cattle,
and five or six horses. A. j. Hamilton lost eight
thousand rails. Some Mexicans living In the
brakes lost everything, even to clothing. Be-
tween Bull and Barton's Creek, from fourteen to
twenty thousand acres Of first rate cedar land were
burnt over.
The flames spread extremely rapidly, raising,
says Captain G., three hundred feet above the
earth. 1t was dangerous to be within quarter Of
a mile of the fire. He and several others saved
themselves by flight. Other casualties have doubt
less happened. The fire is still raging; it occurred
by accident"
