believe that going TO school, after long holiday
is good for them. They consider it about on

as kindly as though there had been no holiday

BUSINESS NOTICES.

4 PRETENDED artist, who knowing his inabili-
ty, avoided contest at the last Fair, and has
since lodged an advertisement of many months
standing, to make better pictures than at other
rooms or charge nothing Tor them; this preten-
der, finding the Wheeling public too discerning
to patronize his impositions in the form Of sun
light pictures, commenced putting himself in
the Local of the daily papers, and smarting with
the consciousness of inferiority, now common
ces dastardly attack upon the honor and res
possibility of his rival. A. @. Partridge hopes
he is not under the necessity of vindicating his
honor and responsibility before a Wheeling pub
lie, but for the information of j. w. Wykes,
whose ignorance is pardonable, he will say that
he is ready to weigh with him at any time his
responsibility and standing as citizen of
Wheeling.

IRE few of our thousands of readers who are
not aware that next Friday John Burns will
be executed in this city, for the murder of
Mary AMI Montony, of which he has been
fairly and justly convicted by an honest and
impartial jury. Our readers are also aware
that the execution is to be public. Such is
the prominence of the spot where the scaffold
is to be erected, that the whole proceedings
can be distinctly seen by fifty thousand people.
The event. as evidenced by all precedent, will
bring together an immense concourso of peo.
pile of all ages, conditions, descriptions, colors,
and sexes-acres of discordant multitudcs,
attracted partly by morbid taste, and partly
by desire to see whatever is to be seen on
the rare occasion. As time flies and the DAYS
elapse, no material change is observed in the
condemned. Ee is about the same in every
particular that he was the day after his con.
viction, stern, callous and fearless expressing
no regret or remorse, but awaits his horrible
fate with sort of stubborn Inconsistencies

penlh Of the BoEus Maeauley.

Readers viii reeollect the account recently
published of the persistent and nearly success
ful attempt of man to persOnate Robert Mac
auley, a citizen of Scioto county, in California.
He gave out that he was the real Macauley re-
turned, and made out such circumstantial case
as to deceive relatives and old neighbOrs, while
Mrs Maeauley however rePudiated him from
the first as bogus. The case was one of as ex-
tranrdinary personal identity as that of Town
send in Canada.
The pretended MacauleK was in bad hA-lfh-
nearly wasted away with consumption, and he
died on the 9th inst, in the Poor House of
Warren county. He was q native of B1tler
county, 80 years of age, and the victim of whis
key, crime, and disease, His real name was
William Macauley, and before death he con-
fessed that he was connected with noted gang
Of horse thieves and counterfeiters in the viein-
ity of Portsmouth. 1t is supposed that he and
his gang were well acquainted with the real
Macauley who went to California, and with
many family and personal incidents connected
with him, and Mrs. Macauley, having some
property and money, they combined in the sin
gular manner already known to obtain posses
sion of both For bCldness of design and sd
dress in prosecution, the plot equalled anything
known in the annals of crime in this country.

LlEE suPERfoE MiSEEs FoR FEGzEE RtvER.
The Illinois on the last trip from Lake SuPe-
rior had 235 passengers, Of whom l6O were
from the Minnesota and Rockland mines. bound
for the new gold diggings on Frazer's River
The Detroit Tribune understands that nearly
all the operators in the above mines were anx-
ious to leave for the same destination, and that
a number sufficient to keep fireworks going were
retained only by Withholding their pay.
The last intelligence from California should
prove damper on the new gold fever. Frazer
River stock had dropped down as rapidly as it
jumped up. The river continued high, prOvis-
ions higher, and gold scarce. The $4,000 new
eomers at Victoria and the supposed gold re-
gions were getting hungry and impatient, and
great suffering and destitutiOn had begun to
manifest themselves in the new mines. Such
are the statements of San Francisco papers of
July Goth.
San Francisco papers represent that the emi-
grafton fever is subsiding, though it appears
that fleet of forty vessels had sailed for Frazer
River within the fortnight Only the small
amount of s25,OOO in gold had come forward
for shipment The steamer Panama brought
down 2l.OO0 dollars in gold, and l25 ad-
venturers from Frazer River. This does not
look very fiattering, judged by the former glow
ing accounts OF the abundance of the precious
metals.

Chndrrn AaenI on the Lake.

A few days ago as Mr. Owen was crossing
the Lake from Sandusky to Kingsville in small
schooner, about eight miles west of one Of the
islands he fell in with small boat containing
three children, the eldest girl of II, the 9TH
ers much smaller. The boat was full OF water
drifting before the wind, and the children were
almost speeehless from having been SO long in
the water which was nearly up to their necks.
They had been seen in the boat in the morning,
the father started in pursuit, but being unable
10 discover his children had returned to the
island. Mr. Owen ascertained where they be-
longed ofthe eldest, and kindly took the little
wave tossed wanderers home. They had been
floating with the wind from 8 A. N. TO 5P.N.
The schooner Fame, owned by c. Il. Blosier,
of sandusky, was caPsizeJ off Monroe, si1 miles
from shore, Tuesday night. Capt Groves and
crew were saved. The Register states that Mr.
Blosier's son William, lad of about years Of
age was aboard. He hoated off on plank or
some other support, and remained in the water
for the space of near seventy hours before being
picked up. Last ACCOUNTS report him all safe
but very sick
At the last despatch from Capt. Groves the
Fame was ahoat on her beam ends, and two or
three vessels have left Sandusky to pick up the
wreck

The Mnripo.n lIIniur pinlculr,.

The Merced Mining Company attempted in
July to prevent the quartz mining operations OF
Col Fremont, who now resides with his family
in Bear Valley, MaripOss County, andis attend
ing to his old claims. He owns what is called
MaripOsa Ranch, the title to which was con-
frmed to him four years ago, but the possession
of portion has since been held by Squatters.-
Col. F. got an injunction from the Federal
Court to restrain them from cutting timber, and
in revenge the Squatters besieged party of
CJl. Fremont's miners in a quartz mine, for four
days, and sent committee to him with the de-
msnd that he should close up his mines and
abandon his property. The party numbered 20
armed men, and were led by the President Of
the Merced Mining Company. To the demand
of their committee Col. F. replied:
/" l hold the property by law, by long occupa-
ton, and even by mining regulations. The de-
mand you make upon is contrary to all my
sense ofjustice and what Is due TO my own hon
or. You say you wish to avert bloOdshed. 1t
it comes, the citizens Of this county need no as
surance from me that it will not be of my pro-
voking. Outrageous and beyond precedent as
this attack is, l will eonfne myself to the right
of self defense, which the law gives TO cit
Izens who have their lives and property at
tackled"
The Governor was appealed to, and he wrote
to the ringleaders Of the mob " Col. Fremont
is entitled to the Peaceable possession of his
property, and, if necessary, force must be used
to secure this to him." and called out the militia
accordingly The mob dispersed.
Before they left, however, a party of noun
taineers, who had served under Fremont some
ten years ago, happened to come into Bear Val
ley, and they Immediately Offered the services
of themselves and their rifles to assist him He
accepted their services, and they were posted
about among the rocks, whence they could have
picked off the enemy without danger if the war
had commenced.
During the whole not Mrs Fremont and her
daughter were in the Valley, and contributed
mnch hy, their rrssSus1 and conduct to prevent
difficulty and to sustain the courage of their
own party.
a California correspondent of the n. Y. Post
says:
To sum up, Col. Fremont holds the claim.
The courts have Just given him the Josephine
vein, which the Merced Mining Company have
worked with great success the past year, and
the suits brought against MIN iOr taxes nave
been withdrawn. Many of US who are old set
tiers having an interest in the welfare-future as
well as present--of the State are reoiced at the
success and good fortune which is now shining |
upon Col Fremont His troubles are rapidly |
being removed, and his opponents, by their ille- /
gal and utterly unprineipled course, are fast |
averting the little sympathy they have ever en-
joyed from the bona fds settlers of the State Of !

q Walk up to the Captains Once and

The Washington Union, of the 18th, rings
the bell for the Office-holders to walk up to the
Captains Office and settle the fare for holding
place under Democratic Administration 1t
notices the report that tax is levied upon the
persons employed in the Government service.
1t understands that from one quarter to one half
of one per cent. on the salaries of officials is
thus eIacted, and hopes that whatever may
be thus collected may be wisely and ecOnOmi-
cllly applied to advancing the interests of the
Democratic party in the great struggle with the
Opposition" The Presidents organ then takes
the Buchanan Office-hOlders By the ears, and
gives furious ting-a-ing from its noisy and
imperiOus elaPPer as follows:
II there is a person in the public service who
does not voluntarily contribute the amount, at
least, of two dollars and q half year on each
thousand dollars of bis salary to support the
cause of the Democracy, he should be dismissed
at once and his place filled by one who is patri-
otic and liberal enough to double the contribu-
ton We believe the cause TO justify its sup
port and those who refuse TO aid in that patriotic
work should be the last to complain if they are
deprived of the special favors Of those in power
We would rec lmmend no system of espionage,
no mean efforts to hunt out the miserable scav-
engers who devote four or five hours of indo-
| lenee at their desks and the balance of their
time to assaults upon the Democracy but that
forbearanee which keeps them in Office a mo-
ment after treaeherY is known is sadly mis-
placed. 1t is a notorious fact that more than
half the patronage Of this Government is bestow-
ed upon such unworthy and untrustwOrthy
men. We hold it to be certain that traitor
in politics only needs an opportunity to betray
his trust and sacrifice the interests and char
acter of the Government. Political immorali-
ty and personal morality are impossible elements
in the same individual.
