THE BELL CREyAssE.-This locality now presents
scene of destruction rarely, if ever witnessed be-
fore as coming from similar cause, and one which
gives the spectator more forcibe idea of the
fury and strength of q crevaSse than presented
when the waters of the Mississippi were pouring
over the ground in raging torrent, sweeping all
before them. The spot looks like desert. Not 4
blade of grass appears where once was smiling
plantation verdure. The ground is furrowed into
every shape and the channel ofthe crevasse is wide
and deep enough to form respectable river.-N.

GOLD IN NEBRASKA.

Correspondence Of the Syracuse Standard
PLATTsMoUrH, n. T., September Is, 1858
News has just been received here that very ricf
gold mines have been found on Cherry Greek, which
pay the miner as largely for his labor the bes
that were ever discovered in California.
Men of all classes in this section are rushing tc
the new Ell Dorado with Geographic speed. Every
thing else is forgotten and passed by in their haste
to reach the new land Of gold.
Two trappers came in who had been to the
mines, and they say that gold is plenty cop
per is at the mines on Lake SUPERIOR in Michi
gan. They were there only three weeks, and had
no tools but their hatchets, bowic-knives and fry
ing pan, and they brought with them in dust, as
the proceeds of their labor, tour thousand nine hun
bred dollars.
There is!a train of about thirty men who leave
this place for the mines on the 10th instant They
are taking eight months provisions for each man
Trains are leaving Nebraska City, Omaha City and
Council Bluffs, Iowa, every day, all bound for the
new gold region in Nebraska
The gold mines on Cherry Greek are very easy o.
access from this city, Cherry Greek being one of the
tributaries of the South Fork of the Great Platte
River, directly west from Plattsmouth. Plattsmoutt
is the best place the Missouri for starting with
trains for the Mines distant from here 400 miles,

DONATES COMET

TO the Editors Of the Daily Adrertiser: DONATE:
Comet will, in few days, appear to increase rapid
ly in size and brilliancy. 1t will be nearest the
earth on the 9th Of October, at which time its bril-
liancy will be nearly three times as great as on the
23d of September, and its distance from us about
ffty-two millions of miles
According to Mr.. Halls computation, the tail Of
this comet, on the 23d instant, extended to the
length of fifteen millions of miles. The nucleus will
be near the bright star Arcturus, Oct. 9Th, and
nearest the Earh's orbit on the Goth.
Some confusion seems to prevail in regard to
there being two comets, similar in appearance, now
visible to the naked eye, but such is not the case
Donatfs, which is seen in the northwest after
set, is the same which has been seen in the north
east before sunrise in the morning. This is owing
to the considerable northern decnaton of the
Comet, with a right ascension differing but little
from that of the sun. | mention this because |
have had several letters from different parts of
the country, making the inquiry whether there
are two comets now to be seen by the naked
eye.
Enck's Comet is barely visible to the naked eye.
Tutte's Third Comet of 1858, can now be seen only
with the assistance of a telescope.

CHINESE WAEFARE.-Lieut. Habersham, in one of
his letters from China, SAYS:
These people, however, perfect children to
the art of warfare they not so contcmptuous
and insulting in their intercourse with foreigners,
1T would be cOwardly to attack them. Only think
of the guns in their forts at the mouth of the river
having been stationary. They aimed them before
the battle of the 26th to shoot in the probably right
direction and then loaded and fired away fast as
they could without attempting to change their
range. OF course the allies were only struck while
passing said ranges. The same thing has been OBJ
served in other battles.
The whaling brig Amaret, Capt Quayle, of New
London, arrived few days since, from the Arctic
Ocean. Capt. q. states that his vessel was frozen
into the ice, in lat G5.2l long. &C. 80 from the 9th
of last October until the ODD of June last nearly
eight months! During that time nothing could be
done but to lie by and wait patiently for the break
ing of the ice. There was but one case of scurvv
during the time among the crew, which consisted
in fifteen men in all. Capt. Quayle took his first
whale on the LIST of July, and on the 22d of the
same month, had his vessel full and was ready to
come home.
The storm of last Thursday was the most severe
known at Nantucket since 1916. The water in the
harbor was dashed to fury, dashing the wharves
to considerable depth. The wind was so powerful
that strong men could not encounter it. As for
women, it was utterly impossible for them to get
along, for obvious reasons. The two or three we
heard of in the streets were reiOiced to get safely
housed again. Chmneys, roofs, trees, walks. signs
and fences, unceremoniously displaced. Scarce
street but exhibited evidence of the storm.-Non-

The Cleveland Recie,c says that on Friday last,
son of Capt Connolly, about fourteen years of age
was relieved by passage through his bowels of a
"copper" head snake foot and a half long. How
it found its way into his stomach is a matter of
conjecture merely. The boy for a long time had
ravenous appetite which excited notice, and had
frequently spoken of feeling something crawling

less zealously followed or less healthy and invig-
Grating. We have no reverence for old customs,
simply because of their antiquity; but We do,
nevertheless, regard all customs, that are innocent
in themselves, and beneficial in their observance,
no matter when or how they originated, as worthy
of general adoption, from the good that may be
derived from them We hold that the larger por-
ton of the i'll health, that is common to American
families, arises from neglect of proper physical
exercise, and from the absence of those recrea-
tons which help to make exercise delightful. An
old proverb counsels us, that
''Hard work and no play
Makes Jack dull boy =
and however much we NAV cavil at the imperfec-
ton of the rhyme, we cannot be insensibe to the
wisdom of the admopition, though the language
in which it is couched is of the homeliest Anglo
Saxon texture. 1t is those who work toe
much, and those who do nothing at ALL
that are alike subject to the pains and
penalties which follow all infringements of natural
laws. How many of both these classes we have
among us we need not now pause to enquire We
know, however, that their name is legion, and tina
they are, for the most part, race of valetudina
rians, who seek in drugs and quack nostrums wha
they can only find in the open air, and by mean;
ofsysematic exercise; by casting off all the cares
of trade, and the perplexities of commerce. by alb
juring etiquette whenever it sands in the way o
rational enjoyment, and by bidding a stout def
ance to that veteran scandal-monger the venerable
Mrs. GRUMPY. But the question of the physical
utility Of encouraging manly sports and pastimes
is which addresses itself with peculiar force tc
the consideration of thelaboring classes and
gratfed to find that in the cities to the northward
it is beginning to claim its proper share of public
attention. The athletic exercises of the German
TunerCerein, and the games of cricket and
base ball, are growing of late into popular repute
and the extent of the influence which these and
kindred pastimes are calculated TO exert, not only
upon the national health, but upon the morals o.
the people, cannot well be over-estimated.
