PRoGREss is the watchwOrd OF our times. The world
moves. Our country is no longer az twas He who
know its Geography only ne learned II ten years

new work adapted TO the times is everywhere called
for Maps have indeed, been published from time to
time, but perfection is child of slow growth. With.
in very short period, it deemed sufficient for
Map of our Country to extend West merely far
enough to embrace Missouri, and South to the Gulf
Mexico, SO as to gva view of the old States only.
Such was Sherman aud Smiths, Mitehell,s, Ensign
& Thayer's, Chapin's, &C. The organization Of Ore

c0very OF gold, and rapid settlement Of California,
turned public attention to tho Ishmus of Panama and
Central America To answer the demand thus created
for Map for the times, Monks work was issued in
1885, Each of these works had its peculiar merits but
each containedsome capital defect Sherman & Smiths,
Chapin's &c, showed the countless but only exhibited
the older States. Monks showed nearly the requisite
territory, but deficient In respect to the counties
Hence Derk was called for one that should com
bine the merits of all its predecessors. This is the

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON TERRITORY FRIDAY DECEMBER Z 85


CAPrURE OF VENETIAN BRIpEs-Accord
ing to ancient custom, the nuptials of the
mobiles and principal citizens of Venice
were always celebrated on the same day Of
the year. The eve of the purifcation was
consecrated to this public festival, and the
state annually increased the general joy OF
the occasion by endowing twelve maidens
with marriage portions. In the morning
gondolas elegantly ornamented assembled
from all parts Of the city at the Episcopal
church Of Olivolo. The affianced pairs dis
embark amidst the sound of music; their
relations and friends, in their most splen-
did habiliments, swelled their retinue; the
rich presents made TO the brides, their
jewels and ornaments were proudly borne
for display; and the body of the people un-
armed, and thoughtless of danger, followed
the glad procession The Istrian pirates,
acquainted with the existence of this an
nual festival, had the boldness to prepare
an ambush for the nnptial train in the city
itself. They secretly arrived over night at
an uninhabited islet, near the church Of o.
ivolo, and lay hidden behind it with their
barks until the procession entered the
church, when, darting from their conceal
ment, they rushed into the sacred edifce
through all its doors, tore the shrieking
brides from the arms of their defenceless
lovers, possessed themselves Of the jdwels
which had been displayed in the festal pomp,
and Immediately put to sea with their fair
captives and booty. But deadly revenge
overlook them.
The Doge, Pietro Caniando III, had
been present at the ceremony; he shared in
the fury and indignation of the alianced
youths; they flew to arms, and throwing
themselves under his conduct into their ves-
sells, came mp with the spoilers in the lag
unes of Cairo. A frightful massacre ensu-
ed mot life among the pirates was spared ;;
and the yictors returned in triumph with
their brides 10 the church of OlYolo. A
procession Of the maidens of Venice reviv-
ed for many centuries the recollection Of
this delyerance on the eve Of the Purilica-
ton. But the Doge was not satisfied with
the punishment which he had inflicted on
the lstriots. He entered vigorously upon
the resolution Of clearing the Adrialic of
all the pirates who infested it; he conquer
cd part of Dalmdtia; and be transmitted 10
his successors, with the ducal crown, the
duty of consummating his design.

p@How LONG THE WAR HAS LASTED
The war in Europe is already two years
old. The Russian ambassador left Con
stantinople on the 22d of May, 1858, and
on the 4th of June the English and French
fleets received orders to approach the Dar.
danelleS, and they anchored in Besika Bay
On the 26th Of June the emperor Of Rus
sia ordered his army to occupy the princi
palities. On the l4th Of September, two
French and two English war steamers
from the feet at Besika Bay, went to Con
siantinople. On the 9th the Porte de
clared war against Russia and invited the
English and French fleets to Constantine
pie. On the I'd of November the emperor
of Russia declared war against Turkey
The French declaration of war was made
in March, 1854.

Col. Walkers Operations in Ni,,ra.up.

A remarkable circumstance connected
with these operations is, that after the ar.
rival OF Walker at Grenada, Col. Wheeler,
L. S Minister, residing at that place, pro.
ceeded directly to Rivas, to treat with Gen.
Corral, Commandante General of that
place! lie pdS seized and imprisoned on
his arrival, but after some time was liberia
ted. Here appears to be a casus JeH be-
tween distracted Nicaragua and our own
goyernnent-and yet who is to be respon-
sibleH There is no recognised authority,
and the act is one for which that state can
scarcely be held answerable. We have al
ready devoted our allotted space to this
news. The next will be Of the greatest
Importance.
Mr.. - Burnet, one of Walkers men
died on the way down from this city 10
San Juan del Sur. At the last accounts
Walkers entire command was well and in
good spirits We learn that Parker II .
French went on board the Uncie Sam, at
San Juan, and forcibly took the steamers
gun.
FURTHER NEws.-Since writing the
above, we have been called upon by sever
al gentlemen who came passengers in the
UHoie San. From them we learn the fol-
lowing exciting details:
After the departure of Walker, as above
stated, for New Grenada, the Nicaraguans
at Rivas made descent upon Virgin bay,
where, observing the passengers (bopnd TO
New York; clustered around the-Transit
Office Of Judge Cushing, and mistnking
them for part of Walkers command, they
fired upon them, killing considerable
number We hear the killed and wound
ed variously estimated at from five TO eight
Of the latter, and from five to twelve Of the
Of the former. The confusion attendant
upon this unparalleled measure prevented
an accurate Transmission Of the details.
The transit route is now in possession of
the natives, who have pickets stationed
along the road, aud stop all communication.
There can be no doubt of The entire cor
rectness Of the above news.
Other passengers by the UlAeLe Sam,
who evidently believe what they say, put
the number Of killed and wounded at from
40 10 60, stating that forty-fve dead bod
les were actually found at The scene Of
massacre; but this must he an oVer-esti-
male Il cannot be that so many innocent
persons were killed by mistake.

Gov. SHANNoN's REcEPToN IN KANSAS
We hear from Kansas that Perkins, who
was started as an Administration candidate
for congress in opposition TO Gen. Whit
field, has Withdrawn from the race. The
pro-slavery men, although there was no
candidate in opposition, were still active
and would give a full vote. ,, ,,
Gov. Shannon recently made visit to
Lecompton, the new seat of government,
in company with the secretary Of the terri
tory, one of the commissioners and others,
for the purpose Of selecting site for the
Capital. Returning, he passed through
Lawrence on day when a revolutionary
meeting had been held, and the people
were greatly excited by the incendiary har.
angues to which they had listened. He
was invited to stay in Lawrence all night
but he declined doing seiSand then the or
derly, law abiding and cent citizens oi
that town manifested tbps respectfor the
Office and man, by insulting him with
groans and shouts of derision as he left the
town.--lSt Louis Repubican.

xDS- BeUETY LAND CLAMs.-There have
been 2l5, 800 claims fled for bounty lands
under act Of March Sd, 1855, OF which
$1,000 were filed in March, rs, 600 in
April, and AZ, 900 in May. Thus far the
commissioner Of pensions has only been
able to issue about 10000 warrants Of all
sizes, and at the rate at which they are
now issuing warrantsit It will take over two
years to complete the cases on hand
Claimants who are anxiously awaiting the
receipt of their warrants, will have to be
patient. No doubt congress will devise
some means at its ensuing session, for .
speedier execution Of thelaw. yl4 OLD

lowing extract from the correspondence Of
