INDIAN MARRIAGE.-A Fraser river adven-
turer, named Snyder, writing from Fort Yale,
on Fraser river Sept oath, thus describes a
marriage which took place, the day before,
amongst the Indians, one mile above the Fort.
They numbered some FIVE or six hundred:
Atabout one o'clock the bride was sold to
the one who gave the most blankets, and he
whJ was the best oiferer took his bri e.
With all the men and women belonging 90
his tribe, they crossed in boats to the oppo-
site side of the river where they commenced
to lash their boats together and build plat
form Of boards from one boat to the other.
hosting at the same time a blanket on a pole
in each of the boats. In short time they
commenced to re cross On their way over.
they commenced 80 sing, and the men with
the paddles kept time 6y striking on the ca
noes. The bride was dressed in Scotch
plaid dress with two white blankets and
then covered all over with white punches of
cotton tassels about foot long She was
sitting down to the left of her father, who is
the chief the tribe. To the left of the bride
stood the groom He was dressed in a pair
Of blue pants and a white shirt When they
got to within fifty yards of the shore, those
Indians that were there rushed to the waters
edge, with their knives and guns, as though
there was to be Il regular fEht The canoes
did not advance any nearer to the shore for
at least an hour. The chief on the boat com
meneed and made speech to the Indians on
the shore, and was replied TO by one of the
chiefs on shore. Then the bride rose and
took off her tassels and white blankets, when
they all commenced to sing and the bride
began to dance. Then the chief commenced
to send white blankets to his different broth
er chiefs After this, the bride sent those or
naments consisting Of white blankets and
tassels, to the various chiefs wives and daugh
ters. After this commenced the rarest sport.
The platform was taken up and the boats
separated From sixty to seventy Indians on
shore stripped themselves, and at the signal
being given, commenced throwing the blan-
kets into the river. Then began the strug-
gle by those from the shore who should have
them. Sometimes there would be from eight
to ten have hold of one blanket; and they
would all at times be under the water, which
was, fy the way, very deep-not less than
thirty feet When they rose to the surface,
the blanket would all be torn to pieces
This ended, they all came on Shore and pro.
ceeded to their rancheria, where they COM
menced their feasting, dancing, and other
amusements. Some few were drunk. All
were well dressed for Indians. Most of the
men wore red shirts aud blankets So ended
my days observation. | was very well sat
istied with what had seen.

PLAcEEvLLE, Oct 5-l2M
The overland mail arrived Mt IL j O'Clock,
T. NJ, last night, bringing the eastern mails
and three through passengers from st. Jo-
seph. The mail left Salt Lake on the 2Oth
September. Nothing Of Importance had oc-
Cured at salt Lake since our dispatch of last
September. The sixth regiment of iufintry
were near Lindsey's station when the mail
passed, and were making rapid marches for
California.
The Dcseret News complains very much
OF the mails between Salt Lake and the At
lartic States, and says they do not feel justi-
he'd in sending any important Correspond
ence through that channel and hopes they
viii soon have an express through which
they can communicate, and recommends
their eastern friends having business with
Salt Lake, to send via Panama and California.
Elder William Evans was struck bv light
ming and killed on 2Gth August, near Bea.
yer, in Beaver county. He was a native of
Wales
Gen. Hunt and Or. Forney were at Gray
ely Ford when the mail passed
The Indians were very numerous along the
line this trip but were quite friendly.
The party consisting of Hon. d. {. Brod.

in II late number of his paper, speaks Of his
meeting Mr. Stephens Of Georgia, as follows 4:

Speaking Of this, why do you not reprint
your article Of about this time year ago
that which gave Mr. President Buchanan so
much joy-attacking Col Keitt, of South

powers that meyef | never shall forget that
article. kcitt, you reeollect, was at the
White Sulphur springs, Va, at the time you
wrote, and your reply reached there before

who spoke of Mr.. Buchanan, in August last,
as "hysterieal President who denounced
his Administration as a "paralytic Admins

The EGYPTIAN WHARF.-The newspapers
in various portions Of the State have Of late
been speaking i'll very favorable terms of tho
seven headed Egyptian or Mormon wheat, a.
a superior article for California. In point 0
prolticity, and adaptabiiity to dr. soils, we
presume, the praise may be considered as
well besto ed But in other qualities and
general character, we Judge the grain to be
considerably over rated We are informed
by friend, who is a skil.ful and experienced
miller, that it cannot be ground INTO decent
flour lie has tried it repeatedly, in severa
different mills, and other millers have In lik,
manner experimental with it, but in no ots,
did they succeed in pulverizing it into flour
1t makes very fair meal, OF dark, inferior
quality, and is capable, when mixed with
wheat -four, of being worked up into excel
lent pancakes used alone, it is not very
good. Judging from his description of his
experience with this grain, we conclude til at
it is about equal, as nrcadstuff, to the Rus
sian or bald barley, which has now become
pretty extensively known in this valley.
1t is added, in favor of the Egyptian wheat,
that it is not liable to smut-a good quality,
but not of SO great Importance since the es

long. however, before Mr.. Hopkins found

application for license as general agent OF

company 10 carry on his cigar factory and
steam saw mill. The government replied
that they did not recognize Mr.. Hopkins as
general agent Of the company, but would
grant license in his own uame. This he
refused, and accordingly at the end Of three
DAYS an order came to close the cigar facto-
~. Mr.. Hopkins refused to close II. At the
end Of three days more the agents Of the gov
eminent closed il. The saw mill in like
manner was closed. Mr.. Hopkins protested
against these proceedings. and warned the
government Of Paraguay that III. government
Of the United States would hold them re.
spons,ble for all losses the company might
sustain in consequence. Upon this. Mr..
Hopkins cxequatur as consul was revoked.
| Doubtless there were many irritating Cir
cumstances attending these transactions; but,
on the main question, who will pretend TO
say that the government Of Paraguay was
bound to recognise a corporation created by
the State Of Rhode. Island. and assuming to
exercise its functions in foreign country /!
That government virtually said. we cannot
rec gnise the existence in Paraguay Of a cor
poration created by foreign State. but are
ready TO extend protection 10 all such pro-
perry and persons as are within our limits,
