LARGE BEAHs.-The Eau Claire (Nial Telegraph
states that the 22d Of August party Of amateur
hunters encountered large black bear in the pine
forests bordering the Chippewa river, and were at
tackled by it with the ferocity Of q regular Rocky
Mountain grizzly. They succeeded in killing the
monster, but not until three of the party had been
horribly torn and bitten, two Of them being danger
ously injured. The bear when dressed weighed over
| 1000 pounds. is,9ssssf
Mr.. VIM Biddinger killed bear in Allegheny
county, Md, recently, weighing $50 pounds. He
shot him four times before life was extinct. On
skinning him no less than twelve additional balls
were found in him in various places, none of o
serious nature. The wounds had all healed and the
balls looked as though they had grown in the flesh.
Mr. Saml Mckenzie and otherz, residing near Shade
Mills captured bear in pen, built for the purpose,
during the last week. They are said to be plentiful
in that region, and very destructive to stock.

The average OF these three years, at the reduced
rate Of taxation is $256,295 S4 in Of the re-
ceipts of ls49. This ercess is easily accounted for
by the increased value of property and the stimulus
given to the assessors to make high valuations
being paid per centage upon the assessments.
The bankruptcy of the Treasury of Louisiana is
not the consequence of the reduction in the rate of
taxation. It is the natural and inevitable conse-
quence of the extravagance of the Democratic party
which governs the State. The expenditures are
greatly in excess of receipts, and bankruptcy is the
CONSEQUENCE. The excess of expenditures - -.

And there were outstanding claims to the amount
of 1882 522-they showing deficit of s76697 7s.
[See the report Of John c. Larue chairman Of the
Finance Committe of the House of Reps. in 1861
It is thus apparent that In three years eight months
and seuenteen days, that the balance ON hand in
March, 1s46, and all of the receipts into the Treas
ury up to 31st December, ls49 had been squandered
and that the State scas bankrupt to the ertent of
$76,697 7s! .5t.i r. 2 81 I'D sasa
The recommendation of Larue to increase the taxes
was unheeded. Heavy and extraordinary appropria-
items were made at the session Of 1850 ; and there
was, on the 31st December, 1851, as shown by the
Auditors report, balance Of s76, ,S32 27, and un-
paid appropriations, due demand, to the ertent of
s13l ,299 61; and exhibiting a continued bank
ruptcy to the amount Of s54 467 "a This condition
of the Treasury continued until 1885, when loans Of
| $750,000 and $4,000 were made Other loans and
appropriations of trust funds have been made-the
whole amounting to s2,O50,000. This has all beer
squandered, as well as the millions of taxes and othe
monies received into the Treasury and the Audito
in his quarterly report Of the condition Of the Treas
ury on the LIST July, 1857, shows balance on han,
of general funds, less than 81 600. -As this smal
sum can scarcely couer the unpaid appropriations

bankrupt! s1''4- - H..s ~ 7F +
Mr.. McMurdo, in his report to the Legislature q
1853 audes to the reduction in the rate Of taxatio
ordered by the extra session of 1s4s; and, withou
saying SO, leads to infer that the racuu of th
Treasury was the consequence Of this reduction. A
he unequivocaIy admitted that the reduction did nj
have any effect on the receipts Of 1s5O-the redu,
tion first applying to the taxes of ls49, and whic
were collected and paid into the Treasury in 1850

WEATHER AND cRors IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI

WEATHER AND CRoPs IN NORTHERN M1ssIssIPPI.-
The Holly Springs Herald, of the 26th ult, says:
Real fall weather has made its appearance The
nights have been cold enough, since Monday last, to
feel quite comfortable by the fire. The weather is
clear, and it is to be hoped will continue so for seve
raj weeks. Many of our farmers averaging from
100 to l25 pounds of cotton per day to the hand.
One of our largest and best planters informed us
that he thought his crop would average 1000 pounds
per acre. Others say that their crops will not average
| the half of thousand. GfF
| A new bale of cotton was brought into town this
week by Mr. Mckinney, and sold to Farrell Mason
| for l6 cents per pound.
The same paper says the health of Marshall county
has improved considerably, and that there are now

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1857.
An agreement has been made between the Senate
and House Committee, on the Territories 10 sup
port a bill sppropratiOg 100000 for a wagon
road to California. The plan agreed On is 30 have
il begin at Fort Kearney which lies on the Platte
River in Nebraska Territory 10 lon. 99o, and 20
thence by Fort Laramie, the South Pass, and Salt
Lake City on 10 the line Of California. OF course
Oh appropriation Of this amount is not sufficient TO
cover the cost Of such road, bat il IL enough 10
make good beginning. II Congress will only lay
aside the riyslries Of sections about the Pacific
routes ard undertake the making Of this road and
protect il by sufficient number Of military posts
10 render travelling secure, il will do deed Of real
service 10 the country. The overland eOnmunica-
ton with the Pacific coast ought 70 be improved,
beyond all doubt, and this mode seems the most
natural and feasible way 10 begin the improvement.
With a good wagon road through, we can argue
he question Of railroad at our leisure, and push
i along a. fast as circumstances print
The Oregon Indian war was OyeI hauled in the
Senate to-day, and some Of the civil authorities IL
that quarter handled very roughly. This was tho
case particularly with Gov. Stevens, who wa con
denned with great severity for his military pro-
eeedlngs. As 10 hat mistakes Gov. Stevens may
have made, or what indl.cretODs he may have

The Press.
BY ALBERT LEIG TON.

We twine no Yictor's wreath to-day:
We hail with shouts no new-crowned king
The song of triumph which we sing
Inspires nobler zeal than they!
The Press whose banner wears no stain
OF blood-told conquest from the field:
Lol Peace is blazoned on its shield.
And in its conflicts none are slain.
Its power can stamp the Patriots worth;
Its mandate seal the Coward's doom,
Its bolts divide Oppression's gloom
And shake the proudest throne on earth.
When Justice sleeps, or duty swerves,
Or traitors act their lying part;
voice bursts from its mighty heart.
And thrills along its iron nerves:
Till distant Nations pause to hear;
Till vale and glen and mountain hight
Repeat the cry for Truth and right
And guilt and wrong shrink back with fear.
The Press! whose vantage ground is mind;
Language its sceptre of control;
Its chariot wheels are thoughts that roll
And leave track of light behind
Long may it live to bless the world,
priceless heritage to man,
champion ever in the van,
With freedoms banner wide unfurled.

ALLEGED HEAVY GOLD AND GoLD DUST ROB-
BERy-AssAY OFFICES UNDER THE SURvE1LLANcE
OF THE PoLIcE.-A young man by the name OF
John Cleary, recently from Sonora, on Saturday
last, went into the Assay Office of Charles Pet
erson, on the north side of Sacramento street.
between Montgomery and Sansome streets, and
being deceived by the fine appearance of the
establishment, determined to leave some sixteen
ounces OF gold dust there for assay, and 81 400
for safe keeping.
After having made the deposits, he appears
to have suspected that all was not right and
called on several occasions demanding them
back; but Peterson invariably put him off with
some frivolous pretcxt or other Having heard
however that Peterson and his Assay Office
were, and had for some time been, under the
surveillance of the police, Cleary's suspicious
appeared confirmed, and he yesterday afternoon
called on Mr.. Curtis, the Chiefof Police, and re-
lated to him all the circumstances The chief
Immediately proceeded in quest of Peterson and
soon after arrested him and his clerk, young
man named Robert p Smith They were taken
to the Police Office, and the keys of Peterson $
office demanded. The latter denied hay
ing the keys, and asseverated that his clerk
Smith, but different person from his fellow
prisoner, had them. He also affirmed repeat
edly that Cleary's money and dust were all in
his safe
The Chief of Police, not satisfied with Peter
sons story, directed officer Lees to search him
and Lees, in doing SO, found the keys referred
to in Petcrson's boots Chief Curtis, and Off
GERS Lees, Johnson and Peterson then proceeded
to the assay office. the doors of which were
thrown open and thorough examination made
In the safe was found S628 of the coin in the
bag in which Cleary had left it, and memor-
andum of the receipt of the gold dust. Nothing
more of the property could be found, and Pc
terson confessed that he had made away with
it. The accused are still under arrest.
Our mining friends, when they read this ar
ticle, will be reminded of many other swindling
operations of this kind which have been prac-
ticed in times past in this city. Itmay be stated
for their benefit, and for the information of the
community in general, that Petersons is not
the only Assay Office in San Francisco which
has been and is now, under the surveillance of
the Police.-S. +. Bulletin.
