Recovery OF Stolen NIoney--Extraortilnary
Sagacity Of Dog.

1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hoen, of this
place, was robbed, on Sunday evening Nov
1th. OF $3,4SO and large amount in county
warrants, prOmissory notes, etc. On Friday
last, Nov. 10th, SLIGO of the money, aud his
papers. were found about four hundred yards
from the house, near Santa Rosa creek. con-
cealed 10y bushes and covered in the sand
Inc circumstances attending this discovery
evlnce some most extraordinary sagacity in one
OF the canine race. Mr.. Hoen is the owner of
very tine setter dog. who is great favorite
with his master, and who improves every op-
portunlty TO prove his gratitude for his favor
ite position. Ever since the robbery was com
mitted this dog has evinccd In various ways
his instructive knowledge that this robbery had
been committed. by which his master had been
ne sufferer. A day or two after the robbery,
the dog came home with bundle Of the papers
which had been stolen DEB h
:. On Friday morning yesterday the dog came
to the house carrying in bis mouth an old worn
out hat, which was immediately recognized by
Mrs. Valley as the one worn by the man who
drew the knife on her at the time of the rob
berry. This increased the confidence of Mr.
Hoen that the dog had more knowledge of the
affair than he himself had. 1t was accordingly
suggested that the dog should be followed, to
see what he would lead them to. Mrs. Valley
following him. He ran up the creek some three
w ioui uuHuIeu yuTuS anu went mo u thlck
cluster OF bushes near the bank. where he com.
menced hunting about and inanifesting that in.
tense anxiety peculiar to the species when near
their game. On coming near him, she gave
hlm some encouragement. when he. with some
effort, owing to The entangled brush, brought
out p'ir of pantaloons, and moment after.
wards brought out another pair, and again
barked in the bush. Mrs. V. then came near TO
him, when she could see still another pair of
pantaloons with a sack stuck into one leg AT
this discovery. she become somewhat excited
and possibly little alarmed. and hesitated to
go any nearer. She then called to Mr. John
Ingram, who was passing near. and Informed
him of the discovery. He approached. aud
took out the remainder of the bundle which.
on examination, was found 10 be coarse sack
nearly the size of fifty pound -four sack, into
which the money ($ll60) and the papers had
been placed and tied up, aud put into one leg
OF the pantaloons.
Altogether, we regard these as most extraor-
binary circumstances. There we're two men
entered the house at the time of the robbery
Three pair of pantaloons were found with the
stolen property, indicating plainly that there
were three interested in the robbery. This
fact is still more strongly suhstantiatcd by the
amount found being exactly one-third the
amount stolen.-Sdnt Rosa Democrat.

Boar LOST The clipper schooner Gold
Beach, small vessel OF abont ten tons, which
has been running from this place up aud down
the coast for some two years past, was lost last
week on trip from here to the klamath. In
attempting 10 enter that river she was struck
by a heavy sea which washed clean over her,
and the next one took her up onto the rocks,
where she tllrashed TO pieces in very few min
nies. There were three men on board her, who
jumped ashore when she struck, aud were alt
saved. She had on board about five tons of
goods at the time, portion OF which was saved,
mostly government freight. Mr.. A. Snidcr Of
the Reservation, was the principal loser Of
goods, probably TO the amount Of six hundred
dollars. We are sorry the little boat IL gone
a. she was great convenience about here.
Her trips have generally been in dangerous
service, and il was only by careful handling
that she lOsted so long.-CTeScem CITY Herald,

Po.ltlon or poll,lenl partle..

Contrary TO the predictions of those shallow
minded politicians and political dabsters-who
are incapable of looking beneath the surface.
and who have not the ability to comprehend
the principles aud feelings which actuate the
great masses, the result of the election in Penn
sylvanla, ETC.. do not seem calculated to ensure
the defeat OF Mr.. Douglas. His present posi-
ilon. TO Judge from appearances. Is far more Sc
cure, and his final success far more certain than
1t was prior to those elections. The result in
Ohio and Pennsylvania has caused all the con-
serrative men in the State of Illinois, as well
as nearly all the followers of the Administra-
ton, TO rally TO the support of Douglas, and it
is more than probable that he will receive near.
ly the full vote of all those opposed to the one
agltation-dogma which constitutes the sole ar
llcIe OF faith in the Republican political creed
The Republicans, in calculating on an increase
OF their strength as the legitimate result of the
elections recently held, are counting without
their host Had the party any principles
around which the masses could rally. it could
not succeed owing TO the lack of "noralc" in
It's organization. The tactics of its leaders are
too dishonest TO meet with success. Its pervcr-
sion Of principle and the bad faith recently
exhibited, are sufficient to condemn it. Let us
see: the party pretended to r'nonncc its be-
liefin the right of Congress 10 legislate for the
territories aud took up, for the nOnce, with the
"pP'site iuea ol popular sovereignty. fenung
the session of the last Congress the leaders of
the party pledged its support at the coming
elections to all those who should oppose the
''I'eeompton Iniquity." How have they mldl
ed their pledges? In every instance where
they had the least shadow of a chance for sue
cess on their own merits, the Republicans have
openly violated their oftrepeated aud solemnly
asseveratcd pledges, and endeavored to defeat
those Democrats who were the foremost in OPP
posing the "LecOmpton Iniquity." Even in
tn State the main body Of the Republicans
voted for the Administration candidates in op-
position TO those of the Anti Lecompton Democ-
raey: The truth is. the Republican party is as
hopeiessly demoralized as is the Administra-
tion party, and partially from the same cause
had faith in matters Of principle The Admin
isiration party is also greatly demoralized from

Early in February, 1858. Blake put to sea,

with large fleet, in charge of considerable
convoy. He might have carried his convoy
away safely if he pleased, but be left them TO
windward and bore down ON the English. The
van of the English force. in which were the
three admirals was considerably ahead of
Monk and the main body of the fleet, and were
engaged proportidnably sooaer. The combat
was begun by the chiefs. Van Tronp, in the
BredcrUde, passed on the weather side OF the
Triumph. giving her n broadsiLe. aud gave
her another under the lee Penn next passed be-

his wake, and more coming up, the general

Contemporary letters tell how the roar OF the
guns awOke anxious hearts on both sides of the
Channel, aud told both nations that another
vital day had come. Towards noon arrived
Monk with the white division, and the battle
lasted all day.
