COL FREMONT AND CALIFORNIA.-We no
tce that the republican papers are speaking
of Col. Fremont as the man who first plant
ed the United States flag upon the shores of
California. We believe that our neighbors
of the -Ahas have endorsed the statement.
Now, we do not know but these journals are
ignorant of history; we do not know but they
intend willingly to falsify. However that
may be, the statement is simply falsehood.
There is not one word of truth in it; and if
those papers don't know, they are as inexcu-
sable for their ignorance as for their men,
dacity. Col. Fremont is also called by some
the conqueror of California; and this state
ment is as false as the other. Possibly in
these days falsehoods may go further than
truth (0idelicet Gov. Gardiner) but there
ought to be some show for it, at least. Col.
Fremont may be a very clever man and a
good surveyor; and under the lead of Kit
Carson he may have done something as a pi-
oneer explorer; while under the lead of COL
Benton he may have done more as histriog-
ropher.
AS regards California, Col. Fremont did
not reach there till after the United States
flag had been raised by another; and as to
couquering it, Col. Fremont never saw hos
tile sword drawn, nor did he hear a hostile
bullet whistle, in single battle in that terri
tory He was not present at single battle.
He invariably came up after the battle was
fought; not that he shirked, but simply that
he was not there. 1t won't do for our neigh
bors to falsfy history, and falsifying it won't
benefit their pet puppet.
The glory of planting the flag of the I'm
ion in, and of conquering, California, belongs
exclusively to Commodore Stockton, who
landed three hundred and fifty men at Mon
terey, sent away his ships, and, against force
of five to one, marched through the territory,
fighting several pitched battles, and subdued
it entirely. After he had subdued it, he made
Col. Fremont civil Governor of the Territory.

RATHER RAMPANT.-The Montreal Com
mercid advertiser has the following, along
with half column more of the same sort {:
"The American Eagle is a half breed be-
tween carrion vulture and dung hill roos-
ter. He lacks the courage necessary for fair
combat, and he crows the loudest when far
thest from his enemy. The men of the rev.
olution are dead. Their inferior children of
1912 are in their dotage; the present gene
ration, raised on hot cakes and sweet ixins,
is stimulated with tobacco juice, is all talk
and no cider, as destitute of the stamina on
which courage is founded as its mothers are
of flesh"

A RAILROAD FoUNDLING.-The George
Law brought home on Friday, from Aspin-
wall, avery extraordinary passenger, about
fifteen months old, found amid the wreck and
created by the late calamity there. Father
and mother and relatives acre all killed, and
and no one knows the little foundling's name
or nation, which, however is supposed to be
French. The innocent was picked up unhurt
amid the slain and MANNED, in unconscious
ignorance of the awful disaster. Col. Totten
sent it to New York, in care of the stewardcss
of the George Law and it becomes, we suppose +,
an unknown object of charity here

The CAMELs ARE LANDED We learn
through one of the officers of the Chas Nor
gan, that the camels designed for the frontier
service have been landed at Indianola. The
description given US of the scene and their
appearance is highly interesting. The heigth
rendering debarkation difficult, they were
made to lie down upon platform and We're
thus hoisted from the vessel. The Galveston
I" Confederate" says: "Great demonstrations
of delight were shown by them upon reach
ingterra Jfrma once more after a voyage.
Their antics were such as to fill with terror
the horses, mules and cattle in the vicinity,
and to cause a general stampede. The pack
saddles are represented as magnificent affairs,
highly ornamented in the Arabian style, and
the keepers, appear in their native costume,
giving the appearance, says our informant,
of an Eastern caravan, in every PARTICULAR
In order to show their speed, the keepers put
them in motion, and to the surprise of two
or three hundred persons present, an ordinary
walk kept horses travelling with them on a
brisk trot. We have no doubt these animals
will be found just the thing for frontier trans
portation, both on account of capacity OF
burthen and speed of travel"

The TICKET.-The Democrats, everywhere,
heartily concur in the nomination ofthe ticket
made at Cincinnati BUCHANAN and BREcK-
ENRIDeE! 1t is a charge Of "Double Bs"
(BB.)-a kind of shot that alpays tells!
We doubt if, on the whole, better COM
bination could have been made. Whether it
is considered merely as a 'strong" ticket or
as one that will command universal respect
and obtain general recognition for the ability
and trustworthiness ofthe gentlemen whose
names compose it, it is found to be not only
unexceptionable, but positively and intrinsic
ally excellent. On every hand we hear ex-
pressions Of satisfaction at the Cincinnati NOM
nations. Only the X. Ms. and Black Repub-
licans are dissatisfied with them, and then will
have to remain displeased.

A CITIZEN OF MICHIGAN AHEAD OF FIR,

A CITIZEN OF MICHIGAN AHEAD OF FIRE.
MoNT.-The principal argument, says the
Grand Rapids Herald, used in favor of the
election of Fremont appears to be, that he
discovered the "South Pass" of the Rocky
Mountains! If he really did discover it, such
a feat would not have been very high rec
ommendation to the Presidency of the Unit
ed States. But such was not the case. John
Ball, ESQ.,, of this city, travelled through the
South Pass in 1s32-ten years before FIRE.
mont accomplished the same Herculian un-
dertaking-and Mr.. BIS guide was an old
trapper who had been through the Pass about
forty times before. Verify, Fremont is a
great discoverer. Such adventures being con-
sidered claims to the highest Offices, we rec
ommend John Ball as the democratic candi-
date for Governor of Michigan. He possesses
ability to fill such an office with credit to him
self and the State, and in addition would,
doubtless, obtain the votes of most of the
republicans, as the same arguments used to
exalt Fremont to the Presidency could be ap-
piled to Mr.. Balls case, and secure him the
Governorship.

WIscoNsIN.-The Madison (Wis.) Argus
gives figures to prove that Wisconsin is sure
for Buchanan. For the last two years, the
democratic vote has been largely on the in
crease. AT the Congressional election in the
fall of 1854, the anti-democratic majority was
S,213. At the Judicial election in the spring
of 1855, the ant-democratic majority was
A, 4,4Os-only about one-half what it was six
months before. At the State election in the
fall of 1855, the average democratic majority
was 2,SsO-an immense gain. Since this
last election, according to the Argus, "the
party has been daily growing in strength and
is now united and harmonious; many old and
distinguished wings are with us and the black
republicans themselves have no hopes of sue
cess. We claim the state as certain for Bu-
chanan by majority that will not be less
than eight thousand, and may reach twelve
thousand" Det. Free Press.

The birds that build hanging nests, at Cape
Cormorin are numerous. At night each of
their little habitations are lighted up, as if to
see company. The sagacious little bird fast
ems bit of clay to the top of the nest and
then picks up a FREELY, and sticks it on the
clay to illuminate the dwelling, which consists
of two rooms. Sometimes there are three or
four fire-hies and their blaze of light in the
little cell dazzles the eyes of the bats, which
often kill the young birds.

NEBRAsKA.-All accounts from the new
Territory of Nebraska, adjoining Kansas agree
in stating that the settlement is going on rap
idly, quietly, and proftably. Not word of
difficulty has arisen between the emigrants
from the several States; and the farmers are
putting in their crops, with the highest anti
cipations of success. A gentleman who re-
sides in that Territory, now on visit to New
England, gives us similar information respect
ing its growth and prosperity. He says Ne
braska has gained largely of emigrants from
Kansas who, disgusted with the squabbles of
that region, have cleft pack of bad fellows

THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

Scholars have indulged in wild speculations
touching the fate of the ten tribes of Israel
who were first led into captivity by the king
of Assyria. They have been supposed by
some to be identical with the Abyssinians Of
Africa, or the Indians of America, and traces
of them have been recognized, SO 1T was
thought among Asiatictribes, but Mr.. Kenne-
dy, of England, who has given yearst TO patient
study and reserach, recently read an able pa
per before the "Bitish Association for the
advancement of Science" of which we give a
brief summary. He said:
"That the number of those taken away in
the different captivites had been much over
estimated, only the principal people having
been made captive of hostages, with the men
of war, and others most available as slaves
that the main body of the ten tribes was
taken away by the Assyrians, but were left in
their ancient possessions, when they became
again partially subjected to the kings of Ju-
dea; that the tribes that can be supposed to
have been really removed were the Reubenites,
the Gadites, with the half tribe Of Manassah,
and that of Naphthali, who being placed on
the east of Jordan and on the north, were most
exposed to the attacks of the enemy; that
the greatest part of those who had been taken
away to Babylon, or their defendants, and the
defendants of those taken away by the AS
syrians, returned to their ancient land that
while in Babylonia, Assyria and other coun-
tries of their followers, they could not be sup.
posed to have lived apart by their tribes, so
that in the space of two hundred years and
upward those taken away must have lost al
most every distinction of tribes, and thus have
become prepared to form part of that re-
stored nation which took the name of Jews
from the principal tribe among them; that
the tribe of Judah having been the most nu-
merous, and their city of Jerusalem the center
round which the Israelites congregated, it
follows, as natural consequence, that their
name would become the prevailing one, that
the amag gamation or union into one people of
all the Israeltes, was in accordance with the
predictions of the prophets; that the remnant
of the Israelites left in Babylonia and Assyr-
la, though smaller in number than that por-
tion which was restored to their ancient pos
session, might yet have increased to an i'm
mense multitude in the six hundred years
which elapsed between the firstrestoration and
the time ofJosephus, but that the remnant be-
yond the Euphrates cannot properly be con-
siderd to have been the representatives of the
ten tribes; that in the time of Josephus all
distinctions ofthe other tribes having become
lost, except those of Judah and Benjamin,
he enormously supposed they were the only
tribes that had returned, an d that the other
ten tribes still remained beyond the Euphra-
tes that in any case the dream of Esdras re-
specting the ten tribes having taken counsel
among themselves, and gone into further
where never mankind dwelt, was a
mere dream or vision, as in reality processes
to have been."

ANECDoTE OF RoTHsCHILD.-Anselm de
Rothschild of Frankfort, during the stormy
days of 1918, when all Europe was heaving
with theories of the popular volcano, was ac-
costed by four stalwart leaders of the mob who
entered his bank and insisted on seeing him.
"You have millions on Millions" said they
to him, "and we have nothing, the time has
come when you must divide with us"
"Very well; what do you suppose the firm
of Anselm de Rothschld is worthg"
"About forty millions of forins.'
"Forty millions, you think, eh? Now there
are forty millions of people in the Diet; that
would be norin apiece. Here's yours, now

the first steamer that has made the passage,
made her appearance at Green Bay on Mon
day. The guests marched ashore under a

the United States Hotel, where the Mayor oi
the city made speech. The Green Bay peo-
pie are greatly elated at the prospects of en-
larged trade and new facilities of intercourse
which this improvement opens up to them.
