German correspoI dent of the Algene'ne ZeHlng'
writing from New-York on the 18th ult., describes
very mnutely the defenceless condition OF the sea-
board towns of this country holding it as his opinion
tina, few minutes fire would be sufficient to silence
our batteries and asserting that thousand European
regulars would be easily able to overcome several
times their number of American troops His idea IS
that Lorg-Isand could be taken with scarcely any d-
fculty whatever, and the enemy, by establishing then
batteries on Brooklyn flights, would hold the entire
harbor of Now.York at their own disposal BY she
same system of tactics the writer of the article thinks
that an enemy might obtain easy possession OF Boston,
entering the city from Roxbury These two important
cities and barboIs once in their hands the invaders
would command half the United States with their
fleets and would be able to keep open their own com
munication with Canada, thus making the United
States the only sufferer by the war.

Card from Archbishop Hughes.
From the Courier and'Enouirer.l

We have received the following Card from
Archbishop Hughes, with a request to pub
lish =
3" The Archbishop of New York thinks it
due, both to the private feelings of Col. Ere
mont and his family, as well as to reasonable
self-respect, to state that he has had nothing
to do, either directly or indirectly with pri-
vate letter which ia now being circulated thro'
the newspapers, pnrporting to have been writ
ten 10y }. A. M'Master, Editor and Proprietor
OF The Freeman's Journal Several of those
papers connect the Archbishop's name directly
with that letter, and some of them 90 so far
as to designate it as tho testimony of Arch
bishop Hughes.
Now the Archbishop is bound to say that,
whether as regards the matter especially aIIud-
ed to in this letter, or in regard to any other
topic involving, even by implication, his name
with any charges which could fix stain on
the private and personal character of Col. Ere
mont, he (the Archbishop knows nothing of
his own knowledge, and therefore has not made
nor authorized any one to make, an accusation
against Mr.. Fremont This is, of course. ne
gative testimony, but sense of justice, so far
as the Archbishop is concerned will not per-
NIT him to withhold it.

Old Buok"-The Buchanan Emblem.

The Buchaniers for the purpose of mischief
erected pole near the residence of F. 2.
Blair, in Maryland, and crowned it with the
skull and horns of an old Buck. Blair takes
these followers of Mr. Buchanan down in rich
style III letter recently addressed to his neigh
bors !
What an emblem to be exalted above the
flag of the country and on the hickory tree
which has given its name to one of the great
est heroes Of all animals the deer is the
most tiInid, and although the head of the buck
is at one season of the year armed with null
titudc of points as sharp as spears, it never
confronts an enemy that it can escape with fly-
ing feet. The grand antlers are the mere en-
bcm OF warlike prowesS, and evidence ONLY of
that species of gaflantry that distinguishes the
stag, and gives to a class of gentry of our spe-
cies, the name of bucks, young or old.
The old buck is sort of old bachelor, like
his fellow of the woods, addicted to no mate.
and whose insignia of horns have time out of
mind, been held to characterize his pursuits
Is this an ensign to he exalted above that of
the country and chosen to eXempliry the vr-
tues of one who aspires to the Chief Magis-
tracy If the crOwnng virtue be attributed
to the coronct whic! distinguishes the buck S
head, and which now takes the lace of the
liberty cap on democratic banners, it should be
remembered that ii is virtuc that comes and
goes with the seasons. An old bucks honors
begin to bud aad grow in the talmy sprihg
timc-they are in the velvet in june, and
throughout the summer This smooth cover
ing is slipped of in O1tOber. Ks Xo49mter
their ritaiity is Uighted and in March the crown
of weather beaten antlers drops from The o|d
bucks bSosr, AMI he hides, droops in solitude,
abandoned by all his fellows. The hunters of
the -Allegheuies and of our frontiers, will ap-
ply this piece of natural history, and interpret
lis augury"

all parts Of the section Of country referred to.

quarters, On Thursday the 18th, the wind
was very high, and the fires spread in every di-
rection, running through the fields, sweeping
houses barus, fences, and everything eombus,
tible, before it. All of our exchanges from
the western counties of this state contain more
or less particulars of the rayagcs Of the fires
in their several localities, some of which we
have already noticed In Cattaraugus county
