was once captain Of packet schooner ply

blessed with a first mate Of n "rale old Yam
kee kind" Going up on the Chesapeake
one dark stormy night, and the wind blowing
steady gale my mate become little nervous,
and not being acquainted with the ground
supposing the old girl was going few knots
too strong. had turned in but had not gone
to sleep. Tramp--tramp-tramp--on deck.
1t was my mate.
captain, hadn't we better shorten sail.
It's blowing like thunder"
"No; keep her going"
A few minutes after, tramp, tramp, tramp,
tramp, on the deck.
"Captain," said my mate again sit fresh
ems up and already blows big guns. Hadne't
we better shoictn sail u
"Not shorten l replied, confident in my
craft and knowledge of the whereabouts; 'not
n shorten. keep her to it."
"Well," said the mate, closing the door of
the companion way with an amiabie slam,
$50 be it +! let her rip! we're all bound to go
h-ll before morning, and I've got rs many
friends there as you have"
i took glass Of grog, and concluded to
lower the forcsail, take reef in mainsail,
and asked the mate if he had desire to be-
come acquainted with one Bourbon, whose
surname is Whisky.

ny We understand that Gen. Whitfield.

Ev We understand that Gen. Whitfield,
Capt. Emory and Col. Woodson have each
! been appointed to positions in different land
Offices in Kansas Leavenworth Journal.
Capt. Emory was in command Of the par
ty which shot the lamentable VIM. Phillips last
Summer, at Leavcnworth, and was concern
ed in all the difficulties in the vicinity Of that
town, particularly with the expulsion of free
State settlers from the Territory.
Gen. Whitfield commanded in person one
of the expeditions into Kansas, and war.
rant is now in tho hands of an officer for
shooting Mr.. Baily, and was implicated in
the murder Of Cantrell.
Woodson has been the plant tool OF the
pro.slavcry party from his induction into the
Territory down to the present. 1t was under
his orders, as acting Governor, that Reed,
with his 300 men invaded the Territory,
and marched upon Lawrence, on the 4th Of
September last.
The three arc worthy of each other. Their
appointment will induce smile from Atchi-
son himself, at his success in getting such su
pie tools and aecompl:ces elevated TO posts
where they can serve their party so well. If
President Buchanan had searched the Terri
tory over he could not have found three men
who would have been so unscrupulous in their
official acts as these. We had hoped that
the Border Ruffian administration had closed
in Kansas, but with these men in the land
Office, zoe are apprehension il is but just
dawning.- Herald of Freedom.

and both legs severed from his body, causing
his death in about two hours. He was about
AZ years of age and leaves widow and one
child, lad about twelve years old. He was
well known to the musicians Of the neighbor-

with the powers that be-, the clhsr day. aad
secured passage for Q distance of Ten niles
on "the machine.n Itis intssesting 70 watch
the track ahead, and imagine yourself going
down the banks from some obstnction.-r
You look at the steam guags snd wonder &c
a hundred and ten pounds Of steam 10 a.safs
quantity. As the speed 'inoreases, the svay
Of the engine attracts especial notice. Every
little roughness of the track IL felt, and the
machine goes knocking about from sideAe side
with force enough 10 tear tho rails from .,hs
ties. The fat ribbon of rail extending 90 iar
before you, seems utterly insufficient to hold
the vast, ponderous weight of iron upon it.--
For relief from the terron you have c6pjursd
up, you turn to the engineer and reninro
remark. He does not look around. ha hand
is on the lever, his eye steadily frsd on tho
track. Just then the fireman rings tho bellfo
crossing. You can zee it swing, but in the
crash and thunder Of your progyess you hear
no sound and then you think that the engi-
neer perhaps did not hear your voice.
The fireman is constantly busy. 'sHe piles
up the wood in easy distance and then
STROKES" As the dry sticks are cast IN tho
furnace, the devouring flames seizes them
with fierce svidiry, eats into their substancs,
penetrates their bores and tears them 20
pieces almost in moment. Il Is an awful
fire, unlike any you have ever witnessed.
You take another look at the track and
gain new sensation, for wherever the rail
is little settled the engine sinks down upon
it, and it seems as if tho wheels and trucks
were giving way, and the whole machine
about to crush down in one fatal smash up.
There are daylight observations, but the
night is the time to enjoy locomotive ride.
The light from the engine lamp extends only
two or three rails forward-beyond that i al
darkness, and you 60 plunging on into the
dark unseen before you without posibility
Of forewaruing Of any danger. You can
zee the switch light or that Of another loco
motive, but log or drunken man may DO
on the track, or rail may be broken, and
you be none the wiser until with one trcmen-
lrous crash you meet your doom upon il.

Ti-yam in the Indian language is night
Ti-yam in Chinese means the god Of the
moon, or night. Hec-ms in Indian is the
sun. Hee-ma in Chinese means the god Of
the sun, or day. Wallae is word common
ly used among the Indians to designate a
friend; it also means man. Walla in the
Hindostanec also means man. Numbers of
other words could be given, but shall make
these saffice for the present.
No doubt need be entertained concerning
the assertion Of the Chinese in coming to this
continent at an early period; nor can we inr
terpret condolences so universal, so minute,
so remarkable, without coming to the conclu
sion that they both sprung from one common
source. The Chinese Fusang is no other than
the American California aud Mexico; and the
Oriental discoveries consequently claim the
honor Of the discovery, a thousand years car
lier than any other nation.
The period when the continent was first
discovered may still remain mystery, hid
den in the deep recesses Of the past. II ev-
er it he found, il will be almost likely in
some of tho Oriental records, for in them we
find the most ancient history, whose dates,
reaching in the night Of time, inform us Of
races now extinct, whose crumbling monu-
ments attcsted civilization different from
that Of the modern world. These ancient ra-
ces progressed in some arts, which TO US are
almost unknown land they must consequently
have attained degree Of refinement which
many Of US at present know but little Of
Yet withal, they seem TO US TO have been in,
ignorance, because We can but family SEQ
them through the dark clouds from whioh. we
Gave issued.
