APPLES AND PEACuEs.-Tbe apple and

very short. From our own observation we
Judge that not more than half crop will
be saved, if even that Fruit growers are
much disheartered with the gloomy prospect.
CATTLE GRAzING.-This has gott 10 be quite
a business in the western section of this coun-
ty. That portion OF it known as the Glades

bells, the lowing of the herds, and the loud
cali Of the hcrdsman can be heard at I'll

as many as from three to six hundred.

bies. At last accounts, they were all llVlf <,

Honorable COnduct,

1t will be remembered by our readers that
Mr.. Albert Sumner, Of Newport, r. L. his
wife and cLlld, some tine since, were ship
wrecked and all undoubtedly persisted. By
the presumption Of law, the wife and child
died first, and the husband became entitled
to the property Mrs S. was a daughter Of
the late Walter Charming. Of this city, and
enjoyed tho income # a large estate. Under
these circumstances, more than $50 600 be-
came legally vested in the late MIR. Sumner,
and through bin came to his mother and
sister and his two brothers--Charles Sum-
ner, our Senator, and George Sumner, esq
The estate was administered upon by Mr..
George Sumner, and, with the consent of all
these heirs, the whole property which the de-
ceased had from his wife, has been surreu-
dered to her relations. 1t gives us great
pleasure to record an act SO honorable to thc
parties, and prompted by so nice sense OF
justice and equity.--Bost0n Transcript.

James Barbour IuIpeper.

Mr. BarbOuI's name in connection with the
GovefDorship, has been long spoken of By
his friends in this section aud elsewhere
long before its appearance in the newspa-
pcrs But as the nomination seemed to be
conceded to the West his claims were not
pushed. 1t was 20 this we alluded when, In
our issue of the Sd Of March last, IN allusion
to his services on the Internal improvement
question, We said, 1.-THE highest hOnors Of the
State await him"
We are sure that Mr.. Barbour has no de-
sire, personally OF politically, to break in
upon the sectional arrangement alluded to,
and would be the last man to do anything
that would produce q rupture in the Demo-
cratic party. His ambition is not OF that
kind that is likely to 'o'er!eap itself" But
should the system Of the alienation OF State
candidates be abandoned, OF the suggestion
of the Enquirer, By common consent OF the
party, and James Barbour be selected as the
candidate for Governor, his friends, Of course,
will be gratifed There isno one 10 the broad
Limits of the Commonwealth who would wear
the honor more worthily, or discharge the
duties Of the Office more iaithlully.-BIue

The SLAYER sunk ut Havana.

SLAYER, had been sunk in the harbor of llava-

the 25h of October last for S.; Thomas, and

from Campeachy. 1t was supposed bowcv-

Tor slaves, and having Landed them On the
island, that she intended TO return tor q Sc.
ccnd cargo. When application was made,
however, to Mr.. Savage the acting American

tempt was made to briLe Mr.. Savage by q
Spaniard, but it proved unsuccessful, and
the vessel was suddenly sunk 10 the barber,
for the purpose, doubtless, Of anticipating
any two severe scrutiny into her character

way. Mr.. Savage demanded evidence to

We have dates from Portland, in Oregon,
to the 9Th of June. The Oregonan says:
1--WE are led to believe that Col. Steptoe
was decoyed into position by the cunning
treacbery Of kamaikip, aud the dupllcity OF
friendly Indians, in whom the officers OF the
regular army place entirely too much conf
dence, where it was impossible to extrlcs,e
himself. The attack was evidently unex-
pected by Col. Steptoe, and the disastrous
consequences the result of weli-arranged
stampede assault, by which the animals at
taehsd to the howltzers, ammunition, and
baggage wagons became unmanageabie.
The Portland Times says:
I'VE have positive and reliable informa.
ton that there were more than one thousand
Indians engaged in the attak upon Col. Step
toes command; that the Indians had plan
ned an ambush into which, had the COM
mand been led, his whole force would have
been utterly lost; that be suspected tue de-
vice and varied his course In order to AVOID
it, when the Indians commenced the attack;
that the warriors, the fighting men OF the
Spokans, the CGur d'A.anes, and the Flat
Heads were mainly participants in the II ght'
The Father Joseph, the Ceur d Aane's priest,
rode up to COL Steptoe just previous to The
onslaught, and told him that the Indians
were exaspcratcd ard resolved upon lighting,
because they had heard road was to be LAID
out through their country from Walla Waila
to Fort Benton, and that they would masSa-
ere every white man who attempted to pass
through their country on such mission
This, then, is the acknowledged, ascertained
cause of the assault, and it is lndisputabiy
the fixed purpose OF the Indinns to prevent
if possible, any transit whaie'er ACROSS the
