Four MONTHS PASSAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
The British brig Princess Louise, regarding
which fears had been entertained that she had
been lost during the late gale, arrived at New
York after perious passage of one hundred
and twenty-six days. from Cadiz. The vessel
encountered very severe weather, having been
blown off the coast and dismasted twice. Three
of the men were frost bitten, and the remainder
were hardly capable of managing the vessel so
intense was the cold which accompanied the gale
They were then out over seventy days, and be-
coming short OF provisions, the men were COM
PEELED to live on an ounce Of biscuit per day. 1t
was also discovered that the water had all given
out, SO barrel of wine was used as q substitute
"We used it," said the mate, 'just to keep the
life in u.s. for we were nearly all dead with fa-
tgue and exhaustion. from thirst and hunger"
After many days of weary labor they succeeded
in reaching the coast again, but again they en-
countered northwester, and again the vessel
was dsmantled. When the vessel arrived at
New York she had been out of provisions, water
fuel and light over forty days.

CARSON VAIAEY.-The following is the report
of the Committee on Territories, to whom were
referred the petition of the citizens of Carson
Valley, Utah Territory, praying for the annexa
ton of that portion of the Territory to the State
of California:
That it appears that the petitioners are situa
ted eight hundred miles from Salt Lake City
that their business and commercial relations are
entirely with the State of California, and thai
they are not Mormons and do not wish to be
They represent that the territorial laws are not
administered with justic, but that those who are
not Mormons and not ''zealousf affected" to-
wards that faith, are subjected to gross persecu-
tions, by which they are often impoverished, and
that the will and fannaticlsm of the leading ell
ders bear heavily upon the "Gcntile minority"
in the Territory of Utah. The petition OF the
ladies represents that while there are but three
or four Mormon families in the Valley, yet Ell
der Orson HYDE is made the Probate Judge of
their county, and that be brings among them
one of his spiritual wives" whom they regard
as no better than the ''scarlet LADY, that the
Judge introduces her as his wife, that they will
associate with her; but that they look with dis
gust upon the prospect of raising up their daugh-
ters among such associates, and they ardently
desire that their homes in their pleasant valley
shall not be ''defiled' by the "horrible fannati-
cism and deception" of Mormonism.
To what extent the evils complained of by the
petitioners of Carson Valley exist, the Commit
tee have little accurate information; but it is
notorious that similar grievances have been
published as prevalent in other portions of Utah;
and if they exist in Carson Valley, which is
scarcely to be doubted it may fairly be presum-
ed that their force and offensveness is not di-
minished where the sway of the Mormon elders
is supported by an overwhelming majority, and
where the ecclesiastical leaders have the unlimited
control over the political, civil and religious
action of their devotees
To grant the prayer of the petitioners, or in
other words, to pass the bill "to change the east
ern boundary of the State of California" !" would
only extripate small portion of the evil COM
plained of. 1t appears to your Committee that
some measuse of wider scope is necessary to eff
feet radical cure of the moral and political
pestilence which makes Utah the scandal of the
American people. Such measure is now on
the calendar-the bill for "the prevention and
punishment of poligomy, ''and there is no legis
lation more earnestly demanded.
Furthermore, the State of California is area
DIV too large, and should not, in the opinion o
the Committee, be made still more unwieldy by
further extension of its boundaries. We there
fore report the bill to the House with the recon-
mendation that it do not pass.

A LADY AFLoAT-After all, hoops are not
without their advantages. An English paper
tells us that lady was picked up by pilot
boat in the harbor of Ostend whose head was
kept above water by her crinoline skirts
When taken into the boat she was in an almost
senseless state; but on recovering, refused to
tell her name or place of residence She said
she had made her family aware of her intention
to commit suicide, and that she would ultimate
ly carry her determination out. We presume
that the next time she tries the experiment, she
will unhoop.

NEVADA, CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY MORNING. MARCH H. 1857


The Lockport, N. Y. Republic, has the follow
ing, which comes under the head of "marvelous,
if trueJ'
About three years ago, girl was walking on
the beach of the lake, north of this place, with
young man, to whom she related wonderful
dream of the previous night, in which it was re-
vealed to her that she should find large sum
of money upon the shore. The young man was
to have half for assisting her in the search Di-
rectly they came to dead body, which from its
appearance, and the size of the head, (nearly as
large as bushel basket) had evidently been in
the water some time.
At the sight they both tainted, but soon re-
covered, and venturinglto examine it, discover
ed around it belt containing large package
of money in bills--this they counted and found
the amount as stated. n
They buried the body to prevent discovery,
and also the money, which they agreed not to
disturb for three weeks. AT the expiration OF
the time the Young man returned to the place
the money was missing. His companion ac'
knowledged she had taken it, and would take
care of it until he was twenty, which would bt
| in three years.
As the time has expired, be demands his half
which she answers by denying the whole state
ment The young man tells friend, it spreads
like wild6re. Report says, large company OF
men armed with spades and shovels, are to-day
looking for the bones of the buried stranger
The excitement has been very much increased
| by the fact that propeller was wrecked three
| years ago, and that gentleman, supposed to be
Spaniard, stranger to the passengers who
were saved was lost.
Some parties, formerly rather hard up repor
says have been flush of late. speculating very
largely in real estate and making great show
generly.
LATER.-We just learn that bones answering
the fact of the burial, have been discovered IL
the woods, about mile from the beach.

BALTIMORE, 6Ott--Eveming.-th Che excitement

by a number of prominent citizens, asking hin,
to withdraw his proclamation. He gave no def:
finite answer. A town meeting has hcen called
for Tomorrow evening. The Mayor has issued
a notice, requesting the citizens not to attend
the meeting fearing it may tend to influence the
public mind
a number of military offers have called mp
on the Gov. informing him that the miiihary
would not obey his orders, and most of these
companies were temporarily tlisbahding Dem
ocratic politicians are enrolling to offer their
services to the Gov as armed citizens under mi!
itary commanders. The mayor will issue a
proclamation Monday morning, detailing his ar
rangcmcnt for the representation OF the peace ant!
protection of voters. Tho city is full of rumor>
with regard to the arrival Of arms from Wash
ington, hut they are believed TO be entirely un-
founded.
One of the armories of the companies was
entered by party of men who took all the
arms and carried them the Central Police
Station, laying them down upon the floor, they
were promptly returned by the Marshal. The
military are TO report to the Governor at noon

or Lo!lsrs.-It is great complaint with
many of our merchants, that. in these dull times
their establishments are beseiged with loafers;
not rine-whiting, tobacco spluttering lOungers,
but loafers of the more geuteel order and well
meaning men, no doubt, who cuugregHte about
tie stores, occupy alIthe chairs and discuss the
prevailing topics for an hour or two every day.
l: these people would stop to consider for a mo-
ment, that their presence is detrimental TO the
proprietor's interest, they would make their
visits more like the angels. Ladies have dis
like to enter place where they are sure to be
subjected to the rude gaze and rudcr remarks
OF half dozen idlers, and many men have a
s,miIar autipathy to transacting business or
making purchases IN the presence Of the moth
.hg to do clubs. Loafcrs ought to know this,
