The Chicago Know Nothing Council is d-
vided on the Jonathan" and "Sam" ques-
tions. The difference between Jonathan and
Sam is thus stated by the Chicago papers:-
"The Sans are anti-foreign and anti Catholic;
the Jonathans are anti-slavery but not against
foreigners. They will admit all foreigners
who will disavow temporal allegiance to the
Pope. 1t is stated that the Jonathans come
out of the fight ahead"

city of San Jose, has reached the depth of one
hundred and ffty-fve feet. The Tribune
says:
The auger is now penetrating stratum of
yellowish sand An iron pipe, seven inches
in diameter, is forced down as the work pro-
gresses; the pipe being heightened by the ad-
dition of successive joints, each of which
overlaps half its length the preceding one,
thus forming continuous double tubing that
will probebly last forever and day. if not
longer. The contract is taken at the rate of
four dollars the running foot in depth, with a
guarantee of obtaining water.

Ton AND NED.-The Transcript says while
our esteemed friend Ned Marshall is indefatg-
able in his labors of love in behalf of Sam,
and is stumping the State in laudstion of the
virtues of that dark-lanterned individual, his
brother Tom Marshall, is not less industrious
in his assaults upon the same individual in
Kentucky The Cincinnati Enquirer of re-
cent date, says
"Hon Thomas F. Marshall made a speech at
Versailles. on Saturday last, against the know
nothing movement. He is brother of DR.. A.
X. Marshall, the know-nothing candidate for
Congress in that district. 1t is said that Tom,
as the Ex-Honorable is Familiarity called gave
the order particular goss. He is an erratic
individual, but of his genius there are no two
opinions, and his sarcasm is perfectly wither-
ing, all of which the Cayennes felt who heard
the expose he made of their creed, decep-
tiOns, and narrow minded policy"

Immense shipments of treasure have re-
Gently been made to Europe We stated in
our last paper that the Atlantic took out
about two millions; the Africa, which sailed
the week previous, nearly million, and the
boston steamer, last week, had nearly nail
lion more-making nearly fonr millions in
swo weeks, against two millions and three
quarters received from California! With such
drain, specie must not only become scarce,
but the money market must necessarily suffer

CHOLERA.-The steamer Sierra Nevada ar
rived at San Francisco, from Nicaragua, on
Saturday night last, having on board 425
passengers, of whom sc were ladies, and 46
children. The cholera broke out among the
passengers at Virgin Bay, where little girl
was seized with cramps from eating too much
fruit, and soon died.
When the passengeas arrived at San Juan
del Sur, few more cases occurred, and three
or four deaths The natives deserted the
town; and three dead bodies were at one time
lying at Consul Priests American Hotel, it
being almost impossible to procure for them
burial.
After the passengers embarked on the Sierra
Nevada for San Francisco, the cholera again
appeared, and ragged feerfully up to her ar
rival. Thirty deaths occurred on board the
steamer; the life of not one person attacked
was saved. Among the deaths was the chief
mate, Mr.. Perry. Rev. c. B. West, who was
-on his way to teke charge of congregation
in one of the interior towns, perished with
his whole family. Miss Rebecca Hirscbman,
who is described as having been most beau
tiful young lady. died among the others; she
had been sent for by her two brothers, who
reside in Nevada, to join them here. One of
them, who was waiting in S. F. for her
arrival, on learning that the steamer had been
telegraphed. procured small boat and board
ed her of the Heads. The dreadful news of
the death of his sister, four days before. was
soon communicated to him, and he landed
almost broken hearted
Among those who arrived very ill, two have
already died; one whose name is unknown:
the other is Miss Mary Allen.
Great praise is bestowed upon Captain
Blethen, the commander of the vessel, for his
kindness and attention to the afflicted. There
were thirty deaths on board before reaching

vote who had not resided in the Terri
tory for thirty days Immediately pre-
ccding the election. We will eudeayor
to give the official vote in our next roeu-

that some remained away from the polls

not over eight hundred of the latter.

No bill of Indictment was found against

keeping him confined in prison. Why
they do so We cannot devise. The Con-
stitution guarantees to him speedy and
impartial trial. Who Will pretend that
he has received this, by being held in
confinement, contrary to his will, long
after the Court to which he was to be
tried has adjourned
We learn that McCREA's health is suf.
fering badly from his long confinement,
and that his family are-iusery destitute
circumstances. The phisuthropic should
extend to him immediate relief.

BY examining the above returns it
will be observed that the principle vote
of the Pro-slavery party is pelled at ten
precincts. all of which places, save Leay-
enworth, are sparsely settled. These ten
districts poll 1857 votes, two-thirds of
the entire pro-slavery strength. If this
vote was thoroughly purged-as it will
be before Congressional committee
it would be found that less than 900
votes of actual residents of Kansas were
polled for Whitfield.

Carry it Through.

Don't aim at anything else. Carry what
ever you undertake through-clear through.
Ifyou fairly and w~ide-awakely a
project, carry it through, though it costs you
time, money and sweat. This turning back
wards, Jumping Jim Grow, fainting of heart,
soul and purpose, IS to be heartily abomina-
ted.
Carryit through. Don't strike till the iron
Is hot. Think, study, dig, plan, count the
cost-see your way. When all is right,
launch forth in the enterprise with all your
soul, life and inner fire, turni ng neither to
the right or left, with a full purpose to do.
Push on like a selfmOTing giant, as if born
for the very work you are engaged in-push
as if the world was waiting for your hand
and your spirit.
Carry it through. Don't leap from one
thing to another as if undetermined what to
do. Be fixed and strong in purpose. Be
pluckish, hopeful, brave, stern, decisive,
manly. You may be spry as a cat, you may
labor night and day-in sunshine and in
rain, yet be sure that in the end, you will
have 10 chips to show if you jump from one
thing to another. Fortune, fame, gold or
glory were never won fairly except by pious-
ly, bravely striking-grOwing, living to a
thing until it was carried through.
You must carry a thing through if you
would be a man worthy of the exalted name.
No matter if it costs you the pleasures of life
and life's gratiications-there are thorns to
trample down ere you gain the summit-de-
ny yourself of an everlasting resting spell,
do what YOU p~urpose-carry it through and
be a man and a hero. Stick to it though the
thorns pierce, and carry it through. Put
forth your sleeping, giant energies. Electro
fy yourself and rush to the task, determined
to be turned back by no obstacle. The great
heart of the world throbs proudly when it
contemplates the fire of the determined doer.
ltsees in him its proudest jewel-its richest
treasure-the self-moving engine that levels
the high places, fills up the plains and makes
the desert bloom as the gardens Of Aroby.-
Drive ahead and drive all obstacles before
you. You will be successful-never fear
only resolve and carry it through.
