Hon. James D. clay. ,

This gentleman is now in our city, and is
stopping at The Aslor House, and we presume
that many OF the old and waimly attached
personal friends Of his Iathef will call on him
and pay their respects 10 one who acted Us
his ilIustrions father would have done, and
dissolved pa rty ties when no longer consis,en,
with the interests Of their country. The Pres.
ident, in rendering TO Mr., Clay The appoint.
menl Of Minister TO Berlin, indicated his es
innate OF the value of Mr. Clay's serviccs,
aud paid at the same time The tribute Of
friendship TO the great orator and statesman
of the West, with whom MIR. Buchanan was
so long associated on the most intimate terms
o: private respect and affection, even while
differing on questions Of public policy.
Tho delicate and honorable deceusion of
this post BY MIR. Clay does equal honor TO
his head and heart. II is for the purpose Of
giving sill more earnest proofs OF his devo-
lion 10 the cause Of Democracy, now CON-
pleey identified with that OF the Union as
the only National party of The country. The
Democratic friends of Mr.. Clay In h,s native
State OF Kentucky propose TO serd him TO
the Senate Of The United States, the scene Of
the glorious hbors of his father, aud those
lriumphs Of intellect, eoquence and patriot.
ism which have reflected such lusire on bis
name ant that Of Kentucky. We believe
that there is not democra, in The land who
did not read with rapture of the generous and
patriotic labors Of MIR. Clay during the last
campaign, and who did not believe that had
the leader OF the Senate in The struggle of
1850 been living his bold voice would have
been heard in trumpet tones on the same
York Ne,gs.

That woos thee tonight;
But brighter affection,
And lasting as BRIGHT

A heart that will shield thee

To THE EDIToRs OF THE LEDGER
Gentlemen In a few recent numbers of
your journal, have observed some very in
teresting replies to questions propounded by
correspondents. This muitam IN parro mode

yor by your readers in this vicinity. Obsery-
ing this, therefore, and being long satisfied Of
your general acquaintance with such subjects
as pertain most to the real interests and we'll
being Of the community, would respectfully
submit the following questions:
Some time ago, the citizens, the range Of
country embracing lone Valley, &c, sailed
out and successfully interrupted the iniquitous
project of surveying their farms, in order, it
is said, to swindle them out of their home
steads according to law, for the benefit of
one Pico, on the sacred pretext of /" Mexi-
can Grant"
Now the question which | would like to
have solved, is, whether these same hard
WOthlhE CullifdtOIo vi tAt sui itht uBdu-
doned their just rights; whether they have
succumbed to the so-called title of this Pico
and his confederates, and intend indulging in
supineness and inactivity until the meshes of
his exorbitant avarice shall have cutched
within its grasp their homes. homesteads, i'm
provemcnts, &C., leaving them the liberal
choice Of the Irish undertenant in the days
of his persecution-either pay the rack-rent
Of a soul-less usurpcr and his understrappers,
or else relinquish all yor possess.
Now, Messrs. Editors, if you or any Of
your readers will have the goodness to afford
an answer to the foregoing, you win oblige

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF HERorsM.-The
Rev Mr. Sudder, Of India, in a letter to the
Christian bteligeneer, gives the following
instances of heroism called forth by the Indian
mutinies
Let Americans never be ashamed that En-
glshmen are their rforefathers. England is a
noble country. Her sons are heroes and her
daughters heroines This rebellion has bro't
out deeds that deserve to be associated with
those vaIorous actions which we, with throb-
ing pulses, read in history. In one place
lady and her husband He'd in their carriage
he stood upright--she took the reins. She
lashed the horses through band of mntine
ers, while he, with cool aim, shot dead one
who seized the horses heads, and another
who climbed upon the carriage behind TO cut
him down On they fed, till again they
found themselves among foes, and a rope
stretched across the road made further pro
gress seem impossible. True to herself she
dashed the horses at full speed against the
rope, and as they, bearing it down, stumbled
she, by rein and whip, raised them, while her
husbands weapons again freed them from
those who succeeded in leaping upon them.
He was wounded but both escaped with
their lives In another place, a young lady,
the daughter of an officer, shot seven mu-
tineers before they killed her. A captain,
pressed by the Sepoys with his good sword
slew twenty-six of them before he fell

SEIZURE oE THE AMERICAN SHIP SPORTS
MAN.--The late seizure of the American Ship
Sportsman, by the Esmeralda,a "a Chilean ship
oi-war, and forcing her to lower her flag,
while peaceably engaged in taking in her
cargo at Santa Maria, under permit from
the Bolivian Government, may prove troub-
lesome affair The Chilean authorities pre-
tend they have soyernty over the Island,
which is denied by the inhabitants in the inn
mediate vicinity. The Chilean Government
is obstinate, and the American policy seems
to be that the flag Of the United States must
be respected in those waters. The next news
from Chile will be Of interest.
