tH-A dispatch from Cincinnati states that
General Sargent on Thursday made formal
demand upon each Of the military companies
composing the Irish battalions, for the deliv-
cry forthwith to him of all the arms, appcn.
dngcs and accoutrements in their possession,
which order was obeyed only by a.single
company.
Gen. Sargent then sued out wrts Of re.
pleyin, and the Sheriff took possession of the
entire accoutrements of the other companies.
A similar demand is to be made on the Ger
man companies. The cause of the proceed
ings is some alleged INSTRUMENTATION, on the
4th oe July. Considerable excitement hus
arisen from it,

The GILMANToN SNAKES AND THE CHARM
ED GEL.-The parents of the little girl, Ora,
line Jane Hill, who is said to have been
"charmed" by two black snakes, have chang
ed their first determination, and ARE now ex-
hibltng the child and snakes to n crowd nt
Concord, N. II. On Saturday, they were
visited by thousands, by which some $500
were made. The editor of the Manchester
Mirror says:
ave have seen them--the girl is very pret-
ty, only six years old next month. Only the
smaller snakes goes with them, and that is
four feet three inches and half long, and is
idolscd by the girl Her father informed us
last evening that when she sleeps now she
curs herself up like snake, incredible rs it
may seem. The fnther and mother are pres
ent, to tell the story Of the girls being fas
cinnted hv the snakes, and their effects upon
her. The girl has n Wild look, md fears are
entertained that she will in time langush and
die, in consequence OF the magnetic power
over her by the snakes"
The Concord Statesman, in noticing this
repulsive exhibition, says that "there are but
few people who can derive any satisfaction
from the spectacle, and it is to be regretted
that the child was not at first utterly cut of
from IFS strange sympathetic attachment TO Il

opinion in Hyde Park again last Sunday was
very remarkable Some one hundred and
fifty thousand persons assembled ostcnsibly
to show their opposition TO Lord Robert Gros-
venor's Sunday Trading Bill, but really to ex-
press their hatred and contempt FOR the aris
tocracy. The police were sent forth in great
numbers and used their slaves on the heads
Of men, women. and children indiscrininant

will be an armed one.
As few instances Of the savage behavior
of the police it may be adduced that people
quietly walking along were beaten on the

HELP ONE AsoTHER.-Sir Walter Scott
wrote:
"The rnce of mankind would perish did
they cease to aid each other. From the time
that the mother binds .he child's head, till
the moment that some kind assistant wipes
the death-damp from the brow of the dying,
we can not exist without mutual help. AL

it in his power to grant, can refuse. without

merely conrctural and not of much Value
One estimate puts down the crop of all the

which is sixty-eight million bushelsover that

that year is put down in the census report at

be-worth an aggregate of more than two

CHARACTER OF THE PREsrDENT.-T The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, thus graphically
sketches the character of President Pierce:
The great defect of the Presidents charac.

He is the instrument Of the strongest will
which approaches him. His resolutions yield
TO opportunities entreatics and menaccs. He
gave Grund n written order on the Secretary
Of State for the consu!ship at Marscllcs.-
The Virginia and PENNSYLVANIA delegates in
Congress protested, and the appointment was
refused Thus was presented the scandal OF
foreigner carrying about the dishonored
order of tho President of the United States
for paltrv office. The President promisee
Colonel Wilcox, son.in law, of Majo DoneI-
son, the mission to Chill. The Ohio delega.
tion made a united demand for it. Hence
Donclson pernmbuates the country, pro.
claiming the teachery of Pierce.
The President promised Mcdonald, of
Maine, the office of 9th Auditor in return for
his vote for the Nebraska Bill. When the
time for fulfilling the promise arrived General
Pierce asked the permission Of Mcdonald to
tender the appointment to Judge Minor, the
law partner Of the former, in expectation that
Judge NJ. would decline it. He accepted it,

, necessary to pay Mcdonald with the superin
tendcnce of petty Custom-hnuse. In the
same way he ut first erected the Infamous
scheme of repudiating the Missouri Compro.

insolent advocates of the measure, while pro
testing against the trcnchery and dlshonor OF
which he was made the instrument. Such Il
man is not fit to be President. In fact, he
cannot be President, because, though the
nominal occupant of the place, all the real
power which it is his duty to exercise de

BUFFALO SrAMPEDG.--A correspondent of
the Nebraskian, printed at OMAHA city, on the
Missouri, opposite 10 Council Bluffs, writes
that an exploring party to which lie was at.
tached saw immense numbers of buffalo be-
tween Ash Hollow aud Ioupe Fork. The
valley and hills were black with them. On
tine night of the 22d June, having eucampcd
on the bank of n creek in 4 narrow valley,
about twelve O'Clock they were alarmed by
the approach Of IN immense herd of buffalo,
causing the earth to trcmbIe beneath their
tread, as they came dashing down the valley
at full speed. The camp chnnced to be d-
rectiy in the path through which this army of
SHAGGY quadrupeds were making their rapid
march, and it was with cxtrcne difficulty by
dScharging of rifles and revovcrs in quck
| succrssion-that our travellers succeeded in
turning them from their direct course, thus
saving their own lives and the lives Of their
horses. They succeeded in shooting several
rs they passed, among which was fine fat
yearling, some choice outlets of which served
them MS food on their journey. Some idea
may be formed of the number of buffalo in
this vast herd from the fact, that though run
, ming at full speed, they were at least an hour
in passing the camp.

How TO SUccEED.--Alany persons give
themselves much uneasness in their anxiety
after wealth. They strain their vision in
looking at those who have succeeded, and
without thinking how they became wealthy.
jump at the conclusion that was by some
lucky stroke of fortune. 1t never enters the
brains of those well wishers, that the price
Of success is industry and honesty; and that
TO succeed now Il days, the same rugged path
of fortune must be traverscd, MS long ago,
travelled over by those whose position they
envy. There is no rozal road or short cut to
wealth. 1t can only be gained by indomita-
BILE industry and retained by prudence. Wish
ing, without working will never build up n
fortune. How many deceive themselves BY
attempting to grasp sudden riches! How
many rain themselves by their desire to Jump
into wealth? 1t is true, some may hit on Il
lucky vein, but not al--such is an accident,
and exception, the majority turning up shovcls
tull of sand until they reach the ore. Look
at the parties who have made their fortunes.
Are they your smart men who, despisiug the
ploddiug method of accumulation, think to
enjoy without labor! On the contrary, the
architects of their own fortune, have been re.
markable for their industry, perseverance, and
