INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.-From the San Antonio
Herald, of the 18th, we extract the following:
The mail from San Diego arrived in this city on
Thursday last at IL o'clock, P. NJ. making the trip
through in twenty-four days and eleven hours. By
this arrival we have San Diego and Santa Fe papers
to the 22d ult. inclusive. The mail brought several
passengers, and would have reached San Antonio on
the 18th inst had it not been for very severe storm
of hail and rain, which made the roads between here
and Barefs Springs exceedingly heavy.
We leaIn that the Indians are still committing de-
predations in the vicinity of Fort Davis. On the I'd
of this month, they stole twentynn mules, belong
ing to the San Antonio and San Diego Mail Line
Company from place close to the Fort. The trail
was discovered, and party started in pursuit, but
returned shortly afterwards, and having supplied
themselves with provisions for twenty days. again de-
parted. The party under the command OF Lieut..
Hazen, and consisted of 30 men-20 infantry and 10
mounted. The headquarters of the Indians are sup
posed to be at Guadalupe Peak and thither the pur-
suing party determined to follow them. We trust
they will be enabled to give good account of their
journey Lieut. Hazen is spoken of as a most deter
mined and energetic officer.

Throughout the country we hear of its devastating
effects One gentleman informs that about seventy

acres of corn, were almost entirely ruined and bis

extent. In some instances whole fields of corn have
been covered to the depth of six eight inches with
sand and mud wheat hattened as though passed

RAT CONTEST BETWEEN A MAN AND A DoG--In
Cincinnati last week wager was made by Scotch
man that he could kill twelve rats, in regular dog
fashion, in less time than Scotch terrier famous for
his destruction of the noxious vermin. The man
and dog placed in the ring both went to their
work energetically and brayely. The human crea-
ture would snatch up the rats in his hands, and,
biting them across the back of the neck and spine,
precisely as the terrier, kill them at once Both did
well, but the man killed his twelve rats just as the
dog finished his tenth. When the Scotchman came
ont of the ring he was covered with blood and was
bitten in various places but he seemed to care moth
ing for his wounds, after having obtained triumph
over q dog.

An EPISODE IN THE Doc WAR.-In passing through
the Bel Air market yesterday morning we had our
gazing intently on something lying in the street.
Prompted by curiosity, for which a reporter is so
celebrated we soon found ourselves in the midst Of
the crowd. Seated on the curb-stone was female
with bottle of milk in her hand, and busy engaged
in pouring the milk down the throat of large New
foundand dog, which had in an unguarded moment
partaken of beefsteak very nicely powdered with
strychinue. The efforts of the woman were crowned
with the utmost success, for in few moments the
emetic took effect and the happy doctress had the
satisfaction of seeing her patient walk Of The only
fee received from the almost murdered animal was a
wag Of the tail. baltimore Clipper.

THREE CENTS DAMAGEs.-A Rev. Mr.. Sanford
has received the above for an article in the
Duchess On. " Democrat denouneing in very Bit
ter and personal terms his Fourth of July oration in
1856, which was so tinctnred with Abolition senti-
ments as to be very offensive to his audience. The
first verdict at previous trial was $50, and the
second three cents. One paragraph in the article in
the Democrat was as follows:
The orator desecrated the sacred desk by such an
appeal and became so Odous TO the whole audience
as to be compelled to walk from the church to the
hotel alone and there dared not sit at public dinner
provided for the occasion.
Abolitiondom does not seem to be getting along
very well in the Empire State, these latter days.

The vessels engaged in laying the Atlantic tele-
graphic cable no doubt sailed at the time appointed,
and are now busiy engaged in tracing the bottom of

U. S. STEAM.FRIGATE NIAGARA,
PLYMOUTH SOUND, Eng, June 8, 1858.
Sr-I have the honor to report that the teegraphic
squadron consisting of the Niagara and III. NJ. ships
Agamemnon, Valorous and Gorgon put to sea from
Plymouth Sound at 5 P. NJ. on the 29th ultimo and
proceeded to latitude AZ deg. II sec. north, and
longitude deg. 80 Sec west, when we hove to, and
the Gorgon obtained two casts of soundings with her
deep sea apparatus, and found the depth of the
water to be twenty-five hundred and thirty tathoms.
We Immediately commenced our experiments by
hanging the Niagara and Agamemnon together by
hawsers stern to, and distant from each other some
twelve hundred feet. The telegraphc wire on both
ships was spliced together on the Agamemnon, and
the cable lowered down, by the new machinery of
Mrj Everett, until the hight of it was laid on the
bottom of the ocean. Some additional wire was paid
out, and in this position the electric current was
found perfect the whole length of the cable, about
three thousand miles.
In our various experiments of splicing, lowering
down. and heayng in the wire, this ship aud the Aga
memnon were several times tied together sternon. We
have also had fair test of Mr.. Eyeretts machinery
for lowering and heaving up the cable from the ship
well as running it out under speed OF hve or SIX
knots. Indeed, our experiments, occupying three
days and almost an entire night, have, think, en-
trely settled some mooted points in relation to the
electric current passing freely at great depths under
the ocean.
We hope to have in our additional forty miles oi
wire, to coal ship, and be ready to leave this
port with the squadron, the 10th inst. for ouI
great work. The officers and crew enjoy good health

The annexed paragraph is " going the rounds" Of
our Northern exchanges:
THE UNEMPLOYED IN THE WESTERN CITIES. -
Buffalo Chicago and other Western cities, ii appears,
are oyerrun with laborers and mechanics, who are
unable TO find employment. In the former place last
week several hundred of this class paraded the Streets
demanding " work or bread.p In Chicago the de-
mand for labor by poor people has been 50 great that
the Street Commissioners have been unable 10 supply
each man but two days in week, at seventyfive
cents per day. 1t is thought best to cut wages
down 10 fty cents and put one-third more men into
city service. At fifty cents per day, says the Demo-
crat, the city will be overwhelmed with applications
for labor.
The above picture is as deplorabe as it is unques-
tonably truthful That it is true, the columns of our
Northern contemporaries furnish abundant evidence.
What comment upon the Northern system of labor
upon boasted Northern freedom upon Northern
philanthrophy! stalwart white men begging for
employment in the abolition city of Chicago, two
days in the week, at seventy-ive cents per dayl
One dollar and half per week And, on this
meagre sum, if obtained, they are to support them
selves and families, for seven days And then, coolly
says the Chicago Democrat, it is proposed to cut
wages down to fifty cents" per day, and at this
starvation rate the city will be overwhelmed with
applications for laborip Such is the freedom the
Northern system of labor vouchsafes its victims.
Freedom to exc out wretched existence if they can,
and freedom to starve if they cannot. How infinitely
preferable, more secure aud independent, the con-
dition of Southern slave
In Buffalo, hundreds of poor white men have
paraded the streets, demanding work or bread %
II the nabob phanthropists of the North do not re-
lax the horrible conditions of their system of white
servtude, cry of" bread or ood will be heard the
first hard season, in their various swarming marts Of
trade and when the mob, ground to the earth during
long years of oppression and enthralment gets a
taste Of blood, page and spolation, the most fear
full consequences may be anticipated. Therefore, the
philanthropists had better look out.

was strkingy human and was said by the spectators
to resemble very well known member of the Santa

deavoring to overcome popular prejudice against his
homely caricature of humanity. 1t weighed about
twelve pounds and measured over five feet in length.
