thereby save him from the Penitentiary,

destroyed, but the books and papers were
saved. The brothers were convicted OF ar

Two noted b~ruisers, named Coburn and
Loony, had a set-to near St. Louis Satur-
day last. Fifty-ssven rounds were fou ght,
occupying some three hours, when, in con-
sequence of the darkness, the contest was
adjourned over till Monday noon. The
stakes were $50 a side, and the Democra:
says the affair brought out the "shaved-
head gentry" and gentlemen Of the "fancy''
order in large numbers, some four hundred
being on the ground. 1t does not appear
that any effort was made on the part of the
police to prevent the brutal exhibition.

Our friend, who SO ardently admires
"both" Douglas and Buchanan, in his com
mendable efforts to convey to his readers as
much useful information as possible, is
pleased to inform them, in his issue of Mon
day, OF the color OF our hair. We trust his
patrons will appreciate such stupendous eff
forts to enlighten them on an important
point. We are sorry we cannot r~ecipro-
cate in kind-but SO it is. Personal compar.
isons are always odious, and according to
our teaching and the generally received ver>
dict of civilized mankind, personal description
with a view of ridiculing or Representing, or
reference to scars, blemishes or physical in
6rmities of any description, are no where
regarded as per missible in either written or
oral controversies; and it is seldom that e.
ven the most degraded frequenter of the
low est haunts of vice is so entirely lost to
all sense ot propriety as to indulge in them.
AS regards ~ourself, we are not particularly
sensitive touching assaults OF this kind,
though we utterly detest and eschew the
practice; and justice requires we should say
there is some apology for the thoughts of our
neighbor taking a hirsute turn in the fact
that there is an intimate relation between
the head and the hair-if the first is taken
off the latter is certain to go with it-and
his Imagination is constantly haunted with
the spectre of Buchanan tur ming the crank
lies on the block in direct range of the sus-
pended knife.

FRAZER RIVER ~BUBBLE-Irs Cost
The Frazer River gold bubble burst as soon
as touched, but not until enc good gold mine
was spentin seeking it out The San Franz
cisco Chronicle thus tells US what Frazer
River has cost California:
Now that the Frazer River bubble has
fully exploded, it may not be amiss 10 GALS
culaie its cost to individuals from this State.
Not less than % goo persons have left Cali
fornia for the Frazer River country. and the
expense OF each has been at least $4o0 on
an average-making q total of at least$lo,-
600 900. In addition to the money expend-
ed, the average time lost BY the adventurcrs
has been at least three months each, worth
to the State so dollars per month for each
man. making an aggregate Of $3.50 900 dol
lars lost time; which added 20 the money
expended, fos.s up the Frazer River bill TO
Is, 900 900 dollars.
In return for all this expenditure of time
and treasure, not 10 mention the lives sac
ri6ced, California has received from Frazer
River a little more than 100000 dollars
worth of gold dust. In . pecuniary point
of view il win be seen that our people have
to pay dear for their Frazer River whistle.
But there are other items in the bill, the
value Of which are with difficulty to be
estimated. We alluds TO the sacrificed
hopes wrecked and energies paralyzed by
repeated disappointmsnts. The losses in
these respects are beyond calculation
their magnitude is beyond compute. The
bones Of many men lie bleaching along the
banks Of the Frazer, or repose in the oceans
depths, the fate of whom will lung remain
a matter of uncertainty to their friends,
while the fearful eyes of mothers. sisters
and wives, are wearied with vain watching
for their return. The tale of Fruzer is a
tale of homes made desoiute, wives made
widows, children made faiheriess, and for
tunes wrecked. The Frazer swindle over.
tops all others in its gigan tic proportions.
and puts to the blush all humbuys shat have
preceded it.

The United States District Court is in
session at Columbia, South Carolina. The
cases of several of the crew of the recently
captured SLAYER are to be disposed Of, and it
is likely to be done in a summary manner
the grand jury having refused TO find bills
against them, and the probability being that
they will be set at liberty. At the same
time resolutions have been introduced in the
Legislature, which will probably pass, de-
clnring unconstitutional and void the act of
Congress making the slave trade piracy and
those engaged in it amenable to the punish
ment which attaches to that crime. a pro-
ceeding of the kind on the part of a grand
jury in a Northern State, if the demands of
slavery were in any way involved, would be
regarded as incipient treason, and call forth
bitter denunciations from the Democratic
press of every section of the Union--but
taking place in South Carolina, and being
intended as a rebuke for interference with
the interests of slavery by the arrest of
outlaws and pirates, il is exulted over by the
Democratic journals of the South, while
their servile allies of the North are dumb.

AxoTsER STEP.--Jef Dsvis remarked at
Jackson, Mississippi. that Mr. Buchanan. fsE
from backing cut from his stand with the
South, was about 10 take another step in
advance. After referring to his course in
Kansas, the removal OF Mr. stanton and
other acts, he continued:

Mr.. Davis, but q few weeks ago had the
pleasure of an interViw with Dir. Buchanan,
and doubtless spoke "by authority" The
next step is, that slave property in the Ter
riiories must be protected BY Federal laws.
There will probably be . stumble before
that step is taken.
