g Curious HABITS OF MAoKEREL-The habits OF
these fish are very peculiar And although they
have been taken in immense numbers for three
quarters of century, their habits are not we'll
understood They often move in immense num-
bers, apparently filling the ocean for miles in OK
tent They are found near the surface. Some
times they will take the hook with the greatest
eagerness, at other times not mackerel will
bite for days, although millions of them are visi-
Bile in the water When they are in good mood
for taking the bait, ten, twenty, and even thirty
barrels are taken by vessel in few hours
They usually bite more freely soon after sunrise
in the morning, and towards sunset in the even
ing. They all cease to bite about the same time,
as if they were actuated by common impulse.
They are easily frightened, and will descend into
deep water! 1t has often happened that fleet
of vessels B1ng off the Cape, say mile or two
from the shore, in the midst of school of mack
erel, and taking them rapidly on their decks,
when the firing of a gun, or the blast of rock
would send every mackerel fathoms deep into
the wattr, as suddenly as though they had been
converted into so many pigs of lead, and per-
haps itIwould be some hours before they would
re-apptar. They are caught more abundantly
near the shore, and very rarely out of sight Of

man gives a:cheering account of the political
prospect in New York. The editor affirms That
with the efforts and exertions ofthe last two
eeks, .eontinued until the election. that STATE
may be regarded as;sure for Fillmore and Don.
elson He expresses this belief, "after Nfull
and candid survey of the whole field. and of the
testimony from all quarters" The editor of
the Fayetteville On. g. Observer, who is at
present at Saratoga Springs, says that "Aeis CON.
rincsd that Fillmore miU carry the orsat STATE
Of New York at the coming Presidential cleo
ton" He adds ' - -s'-.s.
81 have information here of the most reliable
and specific nature, which satisfies me that the
vote of this great State, is more likely to be
cast for Fillmore than either of his competitors.
The system of organization of parties here is so
complete, the arrangements so perfect for en-
rolling every voter, and ascertaining his prefer
ence before an election, that politicians can
speak with much moro confidence than with
us of results And from leading Fillmore man
of New York city have learned many particu-
lar facts as to towns and counties, with which
he is perfectly familiar, which have brought my
mind to the above conclusion, contrary to pre-
vious impressions will not give the particu-
lars as related 10 lue, uue Will content myself
with saving that they have convinced me-" a'
The Richmond Wing also says:-"We can as
sure the people of the South that there is hardly
shadow ola doubt of Mr.. Fillmore carrying
the State of New York by triumphant and O.
overwhelming majority. His friends there, are
in the finest possible spirits, and are working
with diligence, energy, and enthusiasm which
is the sure and unfailing precursor of glorious
victory t,e,
These indications from so many quarters, and
all tc'the same effect, are every way encourag-
ing 1t is at least certain that the friends of
Fillmore in the Empire State are at once conf
cent and enthusiastic.
The New Orleans Bulletin says:-"We have
Just returned from tour through the States Of
Georgia, South and North Carolina, Virginia,
Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and New York; and during our travels were
glad to learn that changes were going on daily
IN favor of Fillmore-and from the rapid in
crease of soldiers to his banner, we are confident
from the furore which will be made manifest
Turing the present month and the next, that sue
cess must crown the efforts of the Fillmore par

From Kansas.

s&isa, y seSsfi> From Kansas 10y Il
Tie recent report that Gen. Pomeroy had beer
Filled in; Kansas is contradicted. A despatch
from St. Louis on the End inst says
IS We have still later aiviees from * ansas, from
which we learn that General Lane was entrench
ing himself at Lawrence, with two thousand
men under his command Many of the latter
however, are represented rs complaining bitter
ly for the want of provisions. 80
To obtain supply Gen. Lane had sent party
of twenty to Leavenworth City. They were
however, recognized by the Pro-slayery inen,and
taken prisoners. .
The rumor previously circulated, that Gen
Atchison was in command of the Missourians
turns out to have been erroneous. They were o
few miles south of Westport and under the
command of Col. Doniphan. g, sI !.
Gen. Richardson acted as second in command
Orders had been issued by Mr.. Woodson, the
acting Governor, for Doniphan and Richardson
to dispose of their force in such manner as to
make certain the capture of Lane and party, in
case they should be compelled to retreat, which
was believed the want Of proper nourishment
would force them to do. In any event, an en-
gagement between the opposing parties was
looked for daily. ti,R as.
St. Louis, Sept. 5.-Advices from Kansas state
that a battle was fought on the morning of the
30th of August at Ossawatomie, between three
hundred pro-slavery troops under Captain Reed,
and about the same number OF Free -Soilers !;
when the Free-Soilers were routed with loss
of twenty killed and several wounded. Mr..
Brown, (of the Herald of Freedom) and his son
are both reported killed. Five pro-slavery men
were killed. All the provisions and ammunition
were carried away from Ossawatomie and the
town burned.
Gov. Geary arrived here to-day and proceeds
Immediately to Kansas.
Second Observation-Disclosures accounts of the
affair at Ossawatomie say that there were two
hundred men on each side. The Abolitionlsts
fired first, which the Southerners returned and
then charged, killing Mr.. Brown and his son.
and some thirty others. The Abolitionists at'
tempted to swim the river in their retreat, ana
a number were drowned.
= IHird-Private adyices up to Tuesday last
say that every Free-State man had been driven
from Leavenworth at the point of the bayonet,
all their property having been destroyed or con-
fiscated. Mr. Phillips, the correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, and his brother, are among
the killed. Their property was also burnt. 1t
is said that Phillips fired from his house and
killed two Pro-Sayery men. Forty Sufferers
arrived here to-day destitute. ~ .
Chicago, Sept. {. --Advices from Kansas via
Nebraska report the Iowa Road closed by band

tering Kansas and were expected 70 force their
passage in a few days. ant sa@ s.}

CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF Russia
The coronation of the Emperor of Russia has
been finally arranged to take place on the 7th
of September. The programme has been divi-
ded into five acts, among which the public en-
trance of the Emperor, Empress, and Empress
Mother, with the heads of the imperial family,
foreign princes, the representatives of the for
eign powers, the mobiles of the empire, the Off
GERS Of state, army and navy,-all on horseback,
excepting the female part of the family, who
will enter in state carriages, will form the prin-
cipal scene next to the ceremony of the corona
ton itself. g
The diplomatic corps intending to be present
at the Cars coronation were to leave st. Pc
tersburg on the 22d ult, for Moscow. The de-
parture of the Emperor Alexander was fixed for
the 10Th; his solemn entry into Moscow would
take place OH the 29th. The Court will return
to ST. Petersburg at the end of the month. The
ceremony OF the coronation and its adjuncts will
apparently throw into the shade every former
proceeding of similar kind in Russia or else
where. The magniicence of the preparations
seems almost fabulous. Ten European princes
will be present.
According to letters from st. Petersburg the
United States Government has sent special in
structions to its resident envoy, Mr. Seymour, to
act as envoy at the coronation Messrs. Pierce,
Colt, Jarvis, &C., are to be attached to the mis-.
sion, with permission to wear such attire as
they think most becoming upon the occasion.and
least opposed to the etiquette or rules of the
Russian court

Political MEETINGS IN PHILADELPuIA.-A
Philadelphia letter dated the Ord says:
Political meetings are now the order of the
day, or rather night, in our midst. Of these,
those Of the Fillmore affinity appear to have the
majority. A very large and enthusiastic meet
ing of the members of the Fillmore and Donel-
son National Union of Philadelphia, was held
last evening, at tho American Headquarters
Hon. William R. Smith, Of Alabama, was intro
duced to the audience, and made an eloquent
and forcible speech. The most fattering pro-
spects Of the success of the National Union no
minee were given. The character of Millard
Fillmore, pure and statesman-like, had drawn a.
round him true tried, and determined friends,
who enter the battle only to win, and Novem-
Der would show when the smoke of the battle
has cleared away, that there is no obstacle to
him who Wills despite of all the falsehoods and
misrepresentations which have been SO industri-
ously circulated. The remarks OF Mr.. Smith
were frequently interrupted by enthusiastic and
cordial applause. The Fillmore association of
the nth ward also held large and enthusiastic
meeting last evening as did the American Club
of the 10th ward. The buckeye Blacksmith"
addressed the latter. The 9Th and 1st wards
were also in council at the same time. 4.

A MAN SHor.-A man by the name OF
VIM. Ford was found this morning, at six
o'clock, lying in First street, weltering in
his blood, which was flowing from pistol
or gunshot wound the ball having entered
the back and passed out of the lower portion
of the abdomen. Information was imme.
diately given at the Committee rooms, and
a body of men sent to the relief Of the suf
ferer He was removed to hotel near by
where his wounds were dressed, and after
wards conveyed to the hospital. 1t va,
thought that the man had been lying in the
street for several hours, 90 the body was
nearly cold and stiff. There is little or nc
chance for his life. He is . shoemaker by
