The Ocean and the Mountains.


One of the prettiest and most truthful compa
risons Of the ocean aud the mountains, says the
New York Sunday Times, We find among Mr.
Holmes paragraphs in his inimitable "Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table" in the Atlantic for
September. Nothing could be more pictures
que aud poetic, nothing more like reality in an
imag ginary sence:
Il have lived by the sea shore, and by the
mountains. No, | am not going to say which is
best. The one where your place is is the best
for you. But this dferance there is: you can
dOmeslicate mountain, bnt the sea is terdp ndtl-
rdbG. You may have a hut. or know the owner
Of one on the mountain side; you see q light
halfway up its ascent in the evening, and you
know there is u home, and you might share it.
YoM have noted certain trees perhaps; you
know the particular zone where the hemlocks
look so black in October. when the naples and
beaches have faded. All its reliefs aud ntan-
glios have electrotyped themselves in the me-
dallions that hang around the walls Of your
memory's chamber. The sea remembers moth
ing it is feline. 1t licks your feet-its huge
tanks purr very pleasantly on you; but it will
crack your bones aud eat you, for all that, and
wipe the crimson foam from its jaws as if moth
ing had happened. The mountains gives their
lost children berries and water the sea mocks
their thirst and lets them die. The mountains
have grand. stupid, loveable tranquility; but
the sea has facinating treacherous intelligence.
The mountains lie about like huge ruminants.
their broad backs awful TO look upon, but safe
to handle the sea smooths its silver scales un-
til you cannot see their joints-but their shin
ing is that Of the snakes belly after all. In
deeper suggcsveness find as great adherence.
The mountains dwarf mankind and foreshorten
the procession of its long generations. The sea
browns out humanity and time; it has no sym
pathy with either, for it belongs to eternity,
and OF that it sings its monotonous song forev-
er and ever.
Yet should love to have little box by the
sca-shore. should love to gaze out on the fe-
line element from front window Of my own.
jCst as should love TO look on cas- ged panther.
and see it strecb its shining length and then
curl over and lap its smooth sides, and by aud
bye to begin to lash into rage, and show its
white teeth and spring at its bars and howl
the cry of its mad but TO me harmless Jury And
then-to look at it with the inward eye--Tho
does not love to shuttle off time and its concerns
at intervals forget who is President and who
is Governor, what race he belongs 10. what Ian
guage he speaks. which gOlden-headed nail OF
the armament his particular planetary system
is hung upon. and listen to the great liquid me
tronome as it beats its solemn measure, steadily
singing when the duet Of human life began and
TO swing Just as steadily after the human eh0-
rus has died out, and man is fossil on It's
shoresY

A STRANGE DIPFIcULTY.-The Empress Eu-
genie, of France, has involved herself 10 an un-
pleasant difficulty by pretending te be younger
than fhe reallys. Itappears that she was born
in 1921. which would make her now thirty
seven years old, but she had it officially an
neunced on her last birthday (June - that
she was only thirty-two. By this statement
she should have been born June 4. 1926. but
some seekers after curious bits Of family his
tory have discovered that her father died in
1928. and have been able in consequence OF
her foolish vanity TO cast doubt on her 'e'
-itimscy.

A DUEL AT JAMEsTOwN.-A duel came off at
jamestown. on Thursday morning last, about
ii O'Clock. between two men. named Anderson
and Leonard. 1t appears the parties bad quar-
relied. and agreed to fight it ont with ixshoot-
ers Seconds were selected and the parties put
in shooting order. AT the first round. Leon
ards pistol hung'fre. They we're again sta
toned, and on the word being given, Leonardo s
pistol served him the same as before. Leonard
then threw the pistol at his opponent, but miss
ed him and struck his second on the leg. Both
parties then drew knives and rushed IN, but
were prevented from doing each other damage
by the interference Of spectators. 1t appears
the pistols were loaded with blank cartridges by
the seconds, although the principals were not
aware of the fact until it was all over. When
they discovered the trick, they became much
enraged. and manifested more killing dispo-
stion, if possible. than before. The affair,
however, was afterwards arranged to the salts
faction of all parties.-CoLumbiG Courier, Oct. 9th.

NEVADA CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 90 1853

PARTICULARS OF Col. WRIanT's LAST VIcro-
RT.-The Portland Times, of the 29th ult, gives
some particulars of Col Wright's late victory
over the Indians. 1t says:
The tribes were the Spokans- -Couer d'Aene,
Palouse and Pend d'Oreil tribes-numbering
some six or seven hundred warriors, equally
brilliant with the affair of the ''Eour LakesS'
in result, aud in sklllful management and use
of the several arms of the service The battle
OF the Spokan Plains was fought on the 9Th inst
The Indians. having tired the grass on several
sides, beset our troops, with decided spirit, our
three sides at once, until charged through the
flames OF the burning grass aud driven TO shell
ter by squadron of dragoons, commanded by
Major Grier.
Subsequently, at several points, they made
stands for period Of seven hours over q dis
tanee OF fourteen miles, aud was excessively
and successfully routed IRON their positions.
with q loss OF two chiefs and two brothers of
chiefs killed, aud many of lesser note killed
aud wounded, and the single casualty on our
side OF one man wounded.
The chief who commanded in the affair is
called Polotkin. who was prominent in the
night with Col. SteptOe last May, aud is now in
the hands of Col. Wright. On the following
day the Indians asked for terms which was re-
fused. save on an unconditional surrender of
arms, property of all kinds, women aud chill
dren. aud an unqualified submission to what
ever might be imposed.
Marching up the Spokan river, on the Sth
inst, Col. Wright intercepted aud, after sharp
skirmsh between the dragons aud some Indi-
ans, captured at least eight hundred horses,
nearly all OF which were subsequently, shot, TO
prevent any embarrassment from the care OF
such animals
Col Wrigat, on the lst inst, was at the Couer
dAene Mission, having for some eighty miles
OF his march, marked il with slaughter aud de-
vastation destroying houses, large quantities
of wheat, oats aud many caches Of kawas. veg
etables aud dried berries His foe, lately SO
defiant confident aud insolent. are now, in u
large part, alJect at his feet, sueing for peace

NEWSPAPER FILLINGs.-In the first number of
the Weekly RECORD, was an article concerning
Outside Matter" upon which the Trinity Jour
nal comments thus:
IAN editor who has not Industry enough TO
fll TWO sides of a weekly paper with something
new aud original, ought TO take in bis sign and
go asprouting in somebody's cIcaring-or take
fax to break, or knives to grind, or something
that he can do"
And. say We, any editor who thinks that e
sheet, filled inside and out, with nothing but
his own writings. is superior, or more accepta-
bic TO newspaper readers than one made up in
part Of extracts from the works of authors aud
editors. by-gonc aud cotemporaneous is self
sufficient individual who ought TO swap places

RELEASE FROM LONG fMrRfsoNMEST.--Th old
est iuhab taut of these mountains has been
found at las:. On the 9Th inst says the San
Andreas Independent, man employed at DRIFT
ing at that place. on breaking off piece of
hard cement, was not a little astonlshed TO see
frog leap out OF the mass, aud hop of towards
the strtaks of daylight that penetrated down
the shaft. He was captured, and upon q close
examination into the quarters occupied. it was
found that his body had been neatly fitted into
the cement, so that its outlines were perfectly
defined. His frogship is perhaps the most an
cent OF living things-so ancient, indeed, that
speculation upon his years would doubtless
carry us back to antedeuvian times. aud throw
the antiquity Of the Pyramids far into the shade
During all this time he has been close pris-
oncr over one hundred feet beneath the surface
Of the earth. Give the old fellow chance.

lins goes to Russia to perfect his plans with

Company. to develop the great commerce Of

Mr.. Collins has in view, is the forwarding Of

Color or THE AFRIcANs.-Dr. Livingston says
when the English people think about Africa
they imagine that all the Africans are like the
specimens we have in trout Of the tobaccOnists'
shops This is not the case at all. That is the
real negro type, that is only to be found in the
lowest part OF the population. The people gene
rally are not altogether black. Many Of them
are Of olive color, or Of the color of coffee and
milk, and usually the higher grades Of society
are Of this lighter color. The type we see on
the ancient Egyptian monuments is more near
the type of the central population than the to-
bacco-shop variety" 3

A TRIP AcEoss THE CoNTISENT.--Mr. Ormsby.
the special correspondent Of the New York
Herald, was the ouly passenger by the over
land mail which arrived on the 10th inst. He
left New York Sept. 10th. and arrived at San
Francisco Oct. 10th. lie laid over three days
between New York and ST. Louis. so that his
actual travelling time from New York to San
Francisco was q little less than twenty-six days.
He has made the quickest trip ever made across
the American continent. Between st. Louis
and San Francisco, the only halt made by Mr..
0. was one Of Eve hours, at Red River, where,
being ahead OF schedule time, the stage was
obliged to wait for horses. With this exception,
and the few moments occupied at each station
in changing horses he Travelled night and day
for twenty-three days and twenty-three hours.
sleeping in the coach, and eating as he could
get it. We doubt if this feat has ever been ex-
celed in the history of overland travel on the
American continent The entire distance from
st. Louis is 2729 miles.
