Herald says that this veteran composer is in a
precarious state of health, and that he himself
fears that he shall never leave California
The Herald says:
"Bochsa is the last of the glorious old school
of masters who, were to music what the Eliz
abethean age was to modern literature. He is
the author of more than three thousand pieces
for the harp-many of the finest extant. He
has officiated as the orchestra leader at the
debut of some of the most celebrated prima
donnas of the past thirty years; has assisted in
the first production of many famous operas,
and has himself composed number of operas
and ballads which yet keep the stage. A great
musical light is fading, and one whose place it
will be difficult to FILL"

The WYANDoT INDIANS in Kansas, were
on the l4th inst holding their election for
Chief, and correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican writes concerning it as fol-
lows:
The polls are held at lodge about two hun
dred yards from the confluence of the Kansas
and Missouri rivers, and within full view of
passing steamboats,. The judges of election
are three old braves, who have the confidence
of the nation. The voting is done by ballot
and how graveIy it proceeds How unlike
the election of the white mani How much
more orderly, digni6ed and quiet! There is
no excitement, no noise-no electioneering or
loud words. They come in singly from the
forest; they assemble in small numbers beneath
the boughs of spreading elms; they confer to-
gether gravely, and, then, as stately relics of a
mighty race, they step, with mien Of con-
scious sovereignty to the ballot box, and vote
for the Chieftain of their choice. What an
example to their white brethren!

The South OF OLDEN TINR--In Mr.. Ben
tons forthcoming volume of his Thirty Years

The South OF OLDEN TINR.-In Mr.. Ben.
tons forthcoming volume of his Thirty Years
in the Senate, occurs the following passage:
at is tradition of the colonies that the
South had been the seat of wealth and happi
ness, of power and opulence; that rich pop
ulation covered the land, dispensing baronial
hospitality, and diffusing the happiness which
themselves enjoyed; that all was life, and joy
and affluence then. And this tradition was
not without similitude to the reality, as this
writer can testify; for he was old enough to
have seen latter the Revolution) the still sur.
wing state of Southern Colonial manners, when
no traveller was allowed to 60 to tavern, and
was handed over from family to family through
entire States; when holidays were days of fes-
tivity and expectation, long prepared for, and
celebrated by master and slave with music and
feasting, and great concourse of friends and
relatives; when gold was kept in desks and
chests, latter the downfall of paper)and weigh
ed in scales, and lent to neighbors for short
terms without note, interest, witness or securi-
ty,-and on bond and land security for long
years and lawful usance; and when petty lit
cation was at so low an ebb that it required a
fine of forty pounds of tobacco to make man
serve as constable"

A LITTLE EXCITEMENT few years
ago trader in this city, by the name Of
Hopkins, well known to all our old citizens,
died, and it has been the current belief since
that somewhere about his premises, at the
corner of Third and jackson streets, oppo-
site Larpenteur's, he buried several thou
sand dollars. Many curious individual
has sought out the hiding place; but if any
treasure is secreted, it has been so well
done, that it has defed the inquiring exer-
tons Of the most persevering, thus far
Many sigh has no doubt been heaved,
over unrepaid labor and explorations, and
many a strong hope wilted down like a
sick cabbage The treasure has not been
forthcoming.
But on Thursday little incident occur
red, which for while made one individual,
at least, certain that he had lit on the prize.
The workmen in excavating under the
L1ilding down to the level of the new grade
ofIhird street, laid bare the end of pine
box about a!foet square, perfectly imbed-
ded in the earth about two feet below the
surface. The excitement occasioned by
this discovery quickly became intense
Hopkins treasure was found! that which
had baffled all previ Gus search, was at last,
certainly discovered. The end of the box
was broken in, and 10! there appeared but
few relics of frail mortality in the shape
OF bones and decayed vestments. An ex-
animation of the remains proved them to
be those of child, but no one could give
any clue as to the time when the interment
took place. 1t must have been before the
store was built, judging from the position
of the box. D..
The discovery changed the character of
the curiosity of the crowd assembled entire.

1t is stated that the hands employed at
Fort Riley had rebelled against the COM
mand. A letter in the St. Louis RepuM-
can SAYS
"They had broken into the arsenal and store
houses and supplied themselves with arms,
ammunition, provisions and money, and had
started off for the States, in force of three or
four hundred men. The officers of the Fort
dispatched the few soldiers, who were spared
from the rayages of the cholera, in pursuit of
them but they, poor fellows soon returned
with three of their comrades dead and fourth
MORALLY wounded, and stated that when they
came upon the insurgents they were fired on,
pursued, and threatened with instant death,
and that it was solely providential that any of
them escaped; that the insurgents were thor
Oughly armed with muskets and pistols, and
declared it to be their intention to die rather
than be taken /; and that they were coming to-
wards this point, probably to embark on steam.
boats for st. Louis. The Express telegraphed
the commanding officer of Jefferson Barracks
to be on the look out for them"
The account further says that the physi-
clan had temporarily left his post, and as
many men were dying, these worknen de-
sired to leave too, and demanded their pay
But as they had contracted to work for a
number of months at stipulated price, and
had worked only half the time, the COM
mander reused to pay them. They were
willing to take less than what was due them.
