Frazer River.

The gold fever has reached the At.
lantic coast and hundreds of people are
leaving New York for the gold diggins
on Frazer river in the British North
Western American possessions. Among
the crowd were gamblers, ~pickpockets
and thieves, who went out by tho Moses
Taylor which sailed on Friday last.
TO show to what extent this stampede
from California to Frazer river is affect
ing California, we quote from a letter
written by Bishop Kip of the Episcopal
church-which letter we find in the
Esprit of NJ ssion'-dated San Fran.

THE OTHER S1DE.-Once in a happy
home, a sweet bright baby died. On the
evening of the day when the children ga
thered around their mother, all sitting
very %sorrowful, Alice, the eldest, said
"Mother, you took all the care of the
baby while she was here, and you carried
and held her in your arms all the while
she was i'll; now, mother, who took her
on .'the other side?"

"On the otEer side ST death; who took

Liverpool Docks.

A correspondent of the Missouri DEM
ocrat thus describes those gigantic com
mercial works, the Liverpool D, cks-
In order to give you. some idee of the
extent or plan of these docks, l will sup
pose St. Louis to Ee fiat down like Hi
noistown, on a level with high water
mark. Now begin, if you please, at the
corner Of Market street and the levee,
and dig a trench 80 feet deep, or down
to low water mark IN the river, exten
ding west as far as Third street, up Third
to Olive, and down Olive to the levee.
Now take away all the buildings In
that space thus surrounded, and scope
out the dirt over the whole down as
deep as your trench. This done, pro
coed to build a wall of Ss1lid masoUry,
with large hewn granite stone, all round
the edge of this space 80 feet high, and
on the land side S feet thick, and on the
eide next the river double faced, and
IL to Is feet thick, aud sloping inward
a little on the water side. Leave, IN
this river wall, two openings, if you
please, 40 to so feet wide each, and pro-
coed to cover the top Of your wall all
round with large, thick aud heavy flag
stones, hammered smooth as a floor
The last to be done is to build two
heavy doors to each of the two openings,
projecting inward and meeting at an an.
gle, precisely like the gates of a canal
lock. Now you are ready for a rise OF
80 feet in the riFer4As soon as this
takes place the water fowes 10 through
the gates and fills the whole basin to the
brim, and also through the same openings
can be foated the largest vessels. But
the moment the water begins to fall, the
gates will shut of their own accord, or
failing in that little aid with a lever ac-
complishes it. As the river goes down
to its old level, the water, kept in by the
gates, is left at the high water level, and
the ships are up asst were in mid air,
thin masts bristling high up above your
church steeples. The gates being open.
ed only for about half an hour at the
time when the water is the highest, for
coming in and going out, the vessels al
ways remain the same level from the be-

Purity"

Cne of the resolutions of the Black
Republican State Convention speaks
about restoring the Government to Its
original purity" We suppose this
means that the people shos4d elect snch
pure" patriots as O. b. Madison, who
was expelled from Congress for accepting
a 'bribe,' aud a number of other friend
of freedom" who had the same charge
preferred against them by a Congress
that it took in the neighborhood Of a
month to elect a Speaker. That is the
sort of Original purity"possessed by
the black republicans. but one dose sell
dom fails to last the people ten years al
least.-NoracaM Zap. riment.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A LADY IN DANE
CoUNTY.-The Madison Argus lately
contained the following particulars Of
the terrible death of Mrs. Miller, wife
of the Postmaster at Sweet Home, in
Dane county:
We regret to learn of the fearful
death of Mrs. Miller, wife of Mr.. Mil
Ter, Postmaster at Sweet Home, in this
county. Las. Sunday she started on
horseback, either to church or a neigh
borhood visit. She was discovered
about two hours afterwards in a lane
through which she was passing, quite
dead, her clothing torn entirely from her
body, except one stocking, aud her right
leg terribly smashed aud mangled. The
supposition was that the horse had
thrown her and dragged her a consider
able distance by her stirrup foot.

First Blood for Liberty in the Revolu
tlonarV War.

The first blood shed in defence of Ii
berty aud in opposing English Cypress.
ion was in the South. The State OF
North G~arolina-the sold North
South, % aud twin sister South Carolina
is entitled to the honor. 1t waa during
1.-The gubernatorial administration of the
notorious Governor Tryon, the English
Governor at the time, who built one of
the most splendid palaces in either
North or South America, at New burn.
North Carolina, with the proceeds of the
taxes imposed upon the people for the
purpose, ard to resist which taxation q
portion OF them rebelled, just as did the
men of Massachusetts Gtferaoard. 1t
took place in the year l77I, and is mar
rated by Mr.. Wheeler, in his History
of North Carolina. On the 10th of
May, in that year. a battle was fought
between theAmerican aud British forces,
on the banks of the Alamauac River, In
what, is known now as the country OF
of that name, called the Battle of Al
amanc. The American forces were call
ed the "Ragulators," from their efforts
to bring about au equitable regulation
of taxes and other oppressive matters.
The American forces am unted to a.
bout two thousand, and were headed by
three men named Husbands, Hunter,
and Butler; while the British forces
including militia, called out by Tryon,
amounted to upward Of eleven hundred
but had the advantage greatly IN arms
and discipline. AS might have been ex
pected the Americans were defeated, aud
after an action of two hours, with a loss
of twenty dead and several wounded,
while that of the royal frees, in killed
and wounded and missing, was sixty-one.
Mr.. Wheeler says:
THUS ended the battle of Alamanc.
Thus and here was the FIRST blood spotAed
in these United States. in r~esistance-to
exactions of English rulers aud Cypress
ions by the English Government. 1.-THE
great Wolf of South Carolina" showed
his blood thirsty temper by acts of re-
venge, cruelty aud ban bsrity. He hung
Captain Tew the next day, without trl-
al, OF a tree"
It was in this case, as Byron truly
says in one of his poems:
"For Freedoms battle once begun,
Beoueathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though sometimes lost, is ever won.
Thus we see that it was at the battle
of Alamanc, and MT at Bunker Hill,
that the first American blood was shed
in the cause of liberty. Honor to whom
honor is due. "-CharLeston Mercury.

FAILURES OF THE CIcINNNATl GRAPE
CRoP.-Witbin a radius of 25 miles of
CiDciuDati it is computed that there are
$500 acres of ground devoted to the
culture of grapes. In favorable seasons
the average of wine per acre is 200 gal
Ions, equal to SOC, 900 GALLONS as the
whole crop for the section described,
worth, fresh from the press, $500 ,oco.
The failure of the grape crop is there
fore a serious loss to the cultivators,
and we regret to see by a communication
in the Cincinnati Gazette that to the
general loss of the fruit crop of apples,
peaches, &c., in Ohio this season, that
of the grape is to be added. The writer
says :-CleUe Herald. = -
