"The Mother Of waisrs."

Lieut.. Habersham, in his letters from
China to the Philadelphia Ledger, asserts
that the Mississippi river, which we call
the Father of Waters" is not to be COM
pared to the Yang Use iang river TO
which he applies the name of "MOthsr
of Waters" In proof of this, he CON-
pares the width and volume Of the two
streams ...-...
The Mississippi, opposite New Orleans
is not quite six hundred yards wide, win
q mean depth of one hundred feet, and
mean velocity of nearly one and hall
miles per hour. Thus q body Of water
one and half miles long, six hundred
yards wide, and one hundred feet thick, Is
driven into the Gulf Of Mexico every
hour A little more than one hundred
miles from the mouth of the Yang-tse.
Kiang (the Son OF the Sea- is located
the city of Kisng- Yin. The river is ono
thousand nine hundred yards wide, b.
an average depth Of ninety-nine feet and
q mean velocity Of two miles per hour;
Thus we have, he remarks, body OIL
water two miles long, nineteen bun.
dred yards wide, and ninety-nine ise'
thick, hourly urged into the bosom Of the
Yellow Sea-. Compare this body with 'hs
first, and it will be found to be alrno"
double. Were the length Of the Chimes
water course only known, the comparison ..
might be completed; but that canno. :.

thousand three hundred miles.

Stag. up... in p..r Greek.

On Sunday morning last, the oath inst,
at 2 O'Clock A. NJ, the stage, carrying
the q. S. Mail, between this place and
Kansas City, Mo-, on the downward trip,
was carried off by the high water, in Deer
Creek, about two miles below this place.
The stage coming up crossed this creek
about II O'Clock the same morning and
reported the water about three feet deep.
All possible haste was made BY the
Agent here, in starting the downward
stage; supposing that the water had risen
but very little in half an hour, the driver
drove in, the lead horses swan across to
the opposite shore and got loose in some
way from the stage, which, with the
wheel horses and driver, went down stream.
The stage commenced rolling, and the
driver. to save himself, kept climbing as
it revolved, but becoming exhausted, and
finding that he could not do 50 long, let
loose Of the stage and caught hold Of the
branch Of tree that was hanging over the
water, and yelled out for help, when Mr..
Mathews, living close to the creek, went
to his assistance.
The water had risen from three to
twelve feet In one half hour. The Stage
was found aboct / mile below the crossing
on The 9th inst. The Mail has not yet
been recovered. Luckily there were no
passengers In the stsge.-Kdxsds Is51nG

Overland Mail 10 The Pacific.

1t may not be generally known that a
mail route has been established from
Kansas City to Stockton, California, and
that the same is in successful operation
at this time, yet such is the case. Letters
by this route, weighing less than half an
ounce, are subject to but three cents post
age, while those sent by the Isthmus are
subject to 10 cents postage. Mail matter
passes over this entire route in thirty days.
The Kansas City Journal, commenting
on this mail route, says
This mail, although it has not the
prestige of the "favorite route of the Post
Master General" is of great importance
to the people of the West, and will ulti-
mately be the great mail route to the Pa
cifc. OF this, those at all ccnversant with
the country, must know. It follows the
Great Santa Fe Road to New Mexico,
and thence by TETON to Stockton, over a
country that has been tested, and that is
known to be practicable. Besides this, it
follows the parallel of settlements, and at
no point leaves an inhabited country
Eventually, and more than likely, scithin
the year it iOiH 90 directly toest By the Coo
chatope Pass and the gold mines of Pixies
Peal, on the 18th parallel, which, after
all, is the only practicable route, at all
seasons to the Pacific ocean, if we except
the route it now takes.

Troubled with tho asIue. !"

Our friend BIsBEE, who presides over
the Local Department of the Leavenworth
Ledger, has been seriously afflicted with
the "blues." While under its influence,
he has produced the Huest article we have
ever had the pleasure of reading. Salts
fed that he has excelled all persons, even
himself at another time, in giving Ian
guage to his feelings, we have vsntured
to copy
The BLUEs.-Not those prudish liter
airy celebrities of the feminine gender, in
common parlance, "blue stockings !" but
the feeling of lethargic don't.carativeness
which at times comes over the mental
horizon, when everything seems, feels and
tastes blue. An unfavorable hoary cleo
trical period, as some philosophic minds
would express it, a certain popularity of
the atmosphere which has its effect upon
men and things in this mundane sphere,
is cause of morbid impulses, and has
strong tendency to hypochondria. Mon
day was, sans le doubt, blue day, and
tinged all things not naturally blue, with
that one of the seven shades of light de-
nominated colors. There were specimens
of all kinds of blue-azure, Prussian, in
digo and small; blue devils, blue bonnets
and blue books, blue stockings, blue veins,
and blue vitriol, and the blue water in the
apothecaries' windows, assumed bluer
tinge. The clouds were blue, dense and
lowering, but not q patch of blue sky
could be seen through their thick folds.
Men were blue, pinched by blue devils
and blue air; women were blue, as the
outward blueness was no incentive to shop
ping, and even the dogs ran about with a
piteous look, as if they, too, felt blue.
The river, from the reflection of the clouds
and chaos, ran blue water, and our dead
rabbit population became bluer than ever
on blue ruin, presenting q blue array on
the benches of the Recorders Court. The
blue pants and blue coats Of "horse, foot
and dragons" perambulated the streets,
and blue smoke rose from stove pipes,
chimneys and steamboat furnaces, and
settled into bluer air, giving its superlative
blue deeper shade Of that color. Men,
muffled in blue box coats, bluely paced
the streets, and blue Pixies Peak blankets
hung about every door. Sets of blue
china were displayed in store windows,
and blue calicoes reposed costly on the
shelves inside. The very windows seem
curtained with blue drapery, and blue
clothes were hung in the blue mist to dry,
by faded laundresses, who looked blue as
the goods they had cleaned. Fast speci-
mems of feminine fancy, with crinoline
dragging in the blue mud, promenaded
the streets, or, with blue ribbons faunt-
ing, rode in Eye city carriage" behind
horses whose breath turned blue by con-
tact with the chill air; and Juvenile
America, bare-footed, peddled apples to
blue pedestrians, whose scidity would
make one blue in tasting. Everything
was blue, and appearances indicate that
this color will predominant for some time.
Yesterday, for an hour or two, CLEAN
of sunshine dispslled the blue, like the
smiles of beauty amid her tears.

Notwithstanding The lsteness Of the
season, trains after trains continue, to
throng the road, no longer, howsver, bound
for Laramie or Salt Lake, but for the new
Eldorado. Not day passes that quite a
large number of wagons do not arrive and
depart from this point in fact, emigrants
to the gold diggings have become SO COM
mon that it is ussless to ask them where
they are bound, as all invariably return
the same answer. The route by this
point is certainly the best one, as emil
grants can not only reach the gold mines
in quicker time. Gt only being some three
hundred miles from this point but plen-
ty Of provisions, both for man and beast,
can be procured, and have the company

the gold mines are of the most encourag-

The Daily Ledger represents that in
Leavenworth City, at the late election,
the voting was done by ballot, and that
the same was true at some of the pre-.
cincts in Doniphan county. Rejecting
those precincts where the voting wasd one
by ballot, it is said the opposition ticket to
the regular nomination, was elected in
each of those counties, save thatJ. L. Nc
DowELL, of Leavenworth, on the regular
ticket, is elected, and q tie exists be-
tween W. Y. ROBERTS and LYMAN SCOTT.
We know nothing of the facts, but
from what both the Governor and Secre-
tary stated to us prior to the election, and
from the law in the premises, there can
not be doubt but every vote cast by bal
lot was illegal, and should not be counted
in the returns. Indeed such was the po-
sition o. the Secretary weeks before cleo
ton, and it was at his instance we men,
toned several times, in the Herald Of
Freedom, prior to the election, that all
votes given in other manner than viva poce
would be rejected by him in counting NJ
the returns, and in issuing certificates OIL
election. The certificates of the judges Of
election in proper form will not cure the
defect with legal knowledge in the pos.
session of the Secretary that the voting
was by ballot. We copy the law relating
to the subject, as follows
Gall voting shall be by ballot until the
first day of November 1856, and from and
after that time the voting shall be vivC
Uoce."
