UNITED STATES ARTILLERY DEFEATED-An
officer of the army, writing to the New York
Herald from the Camp on the Platte, says: On
tile 4th of July we first struck the buffalo. The
excitement was intense. The recruits, in their
enthusiasm broke through discipline, aud blazed
away at small herd crossing the road in front
of them. Some three or four bulls ran parable
to light battery, when the artillerists common
ced peppering them with Colts reviewers. Stung
by these eaden pellets the animals wheeled in q
line and charged the battery with the most war.
like intentions. Down they came with glariDg
eyes, and away went the horses and pieces in the
most nglorious manner. One piece ran to the
rear and another struck off quarter of mile
into the prairie before the affhghted horses be-
came manageable. The dragons and infantry
of course had hearty laugh at the vanqushet
artillery but had they been charged, one hal
of the former would probably have found a sea-
somewhere else and the latter scattered rapidly
without standing at all on the order of their go
ing. Indeed, if there is any military combina.
ton. composed of flesh and blood, capable Of
steadily withstandng the charge of an Infatuated
herd of butfaoes, have yet to find it out.

Short Cuts.

There was q time when many people though
the shortest cut for road was right over the hill
Experience has confirmed the teachings of rea'
son and mathematics, that it is often cheaper to
90 "all the way around" Many of our modern
impyorenaents, so entitled, are nothing better
than these "short cuts over the hill" 1t seems
to be prevalent notion, for example, that an
education can be acquired now in much short
er time than was necessary sin ole times. =
Books, it is supposed, are now constructed Tor
schools on highly improved principles, ana wnis'
the teacher mas been greatly relieved, the pro-
cress of the learner has been wonderfully expe'
dited. F..ncy and folly, every bit it! There
have been improvements made it is true, but
not of such character as to make the duties OF
faithful instructor less onerous, or the toll OF
the scholar less arduous. The system is more
efficient, the means of improvement more nu-
merous and better adapted to useful results; but
learning without lsbour would be as inconsis-
tent with nature and reason as it ever was. In
fact there is much danger that learning will be-
come less profound in proportion as the facilities
increase Superficial requirements are less east
" distinguished from those of more solid char
acter than they once were, when the amount Of
labour expended could be more accurately esti-
mated. We must not be imposed upon. "Short
cuts" are very promising, but seldom prove as
advantageous as they are imagined to be.

REPORTED RAID AGAINST SoNoRA.--If our in
telligence from the Southwest can be relied upon,
General Walker, the INSCRIPTIONS aud hereto
fore incompetent adventurer, is off upon another
marauding expedition, and this time with pros
pect of success that scarcely belonged to any of
his Central America exploits. A despctch from
ST. Lonis announces that Mr.. Cronin, who had
arrived in that city from New Mexico, reports
passing three hundred and seventy five mounted
men, on the Pawnee fork of the Arkansas, on
their way to aid in the invasion. And the same
individual states that he had learned, at El Paso,
that Walker had passed through that place q
short time previous, at the head of eight hum
dred mounted men, armed with Mimic rifles and
Colts revolvers, with a train of eighteen pieces
of artillery. The destination of this force is said
to be Sonora, and the Characterization of that
rich dependency of Mexico its object. As, how
ever, Walker was on the 18th of last month at
Mobile, addressing the people of that town on
the duty of their judges and courts, and publish
ing letters to the public on the completely Of
the national administration in his filibustering
schemes, it is slightly impossible that he was o.
bout tile same date at El Paso en- route for So
nora. 1t is also improbable that any such force
as this Mr.. Cronn reports, with such an arma-
ment as he represents, could have been gathered
with he secrecy and quiet which would have
permitted nothing to be known of their move
men,s until they were beyond the frontiers of
the United States. Surprising, however, tho ex-
petition to have started there is but little doubt
of its success There is no Mexican force in so
nora which could make head against even q
small organization OF well-eQuipped, determined
adyenturers, and the Central Government was
not at last &gpes in condition to sustain it.

The ChnrchyilIe Mails.

We have heard grievous complaints recently
of the failures of the mails to reach Churchville
at the appointed times. The arrangement we
understand is this the stage leaving Staunton
in the afternoon every day, except Sunday, car
ries the mails to stribling Springs, and return
ing the next morning by Churchvie, delivers
the mail matter for that Office. Thus the Spec.
tator, which is mailed regularly every Tuesday
by one o'clock, should reach Churchville the
next morning but we understand that it has not
arrived for several weeks past till Friday. The
proprietor and the agent of the stage line both
insist that the fault is not with them, as the sta
ges regularly pass by Churchville and deliver
all the mail they receive from the Postlnasters
Attention having been called to the matter we
anticipate no further cause of complaint.
The stage arrives at Churchville on Tuesdays
Thursdays, and Saturdays, at 9 o'clock, A. NJ.

Committee of Inyestigation.

As the County Court OF Augusta meets on
Monday next, we again respectfully suggest that
a Committee be appointed to investigate the
subject of county finances. The Court is the
guardian of the public interests, and the tax
PAYERS look to them for protection against the
growing evil to which we have repeatedly called
attention. Here is plain fact which requires
explanation In 1916 the amount Of the county
levy was "a, 9S7 20, and the capitatiou tax 70
cents in 1858 the county levy was $15,192,75,
and the capitation tax $2.s5. We presume that
competent gentlemen can be obtained to perform
the task without compensation. If possible let
Us have no Investigating Committee that will
run up large bill of costs against the county.

GOLD IN AFRIoA.-The Philadelphia Eceni1s
Bulletin has been assured by gentleman whose
integrity it is willing to vouch for, and who had
been eighteen years in the Guinea trade, tina,
the amount OF gold which abounds in some pla
ces and which is protected by superstitious to
toos and fetish" notions from being gathered
is literally incredible. 1t is believed that all
that has been found in California or Australia
is nothing compared to what will yet be gath
cred from the obscure and burning regions OF
Africa. The individual white miner can do lit
tie save superintend such digging, and the
Bulletin recommends the free negroes of the
North who are now looking about for spot to
which to emgrate, to go to gold hunting in AT

ezJ- The Democrats in Maine, in beautiful
5ormony with the Democrats OF some other
States. are passing resolutions in favor OF ADJUST
ING the tariff so as to give material ald ana cotu-
fort to the peculiar interests OF Maine !-AEsf@"-
llriG Gazette
There is nothing new in the fact mentioned ID
the above paragraph. Political principles, or
professions, universally the world'over, yield 10
self.interest. Look at the Democrats IN the
No-tbwestern States--they take their stand eV'
erv four wears on the party PlatfDn', and forth
with insist npon appropriations from the Fede-
raj Treasury. for internal Improvements when
are TO accrue to their benefit. And IN regard
to this tariff question, the sentiments OF men
have been peculiarly influenced by the same III
stinct. Years ago Massachusetts was particular
IL Jealous in behalf of protective tariff because
her manufactures, then in their infancy, needed
protection against foreign competition. Now
when they arehrmly established and have nothing
ro fear frorn rivalry we fluid that zealin the cause
in that quarter, has cooled down considerably
and the manufactures of Massachusetts, are prob
ably ready for free trade, in order that they may
procure railroad iron, sugar, &C., at reduced
prices. But Pennsylvania is interested IN the
manufacture of iron, and therefore she is at this
time the most prominent advocate OF protection
In the extreme South, moreover, we discover a
tariff party rising up where we should least ex-

ONE OF THE LAWS" DrsoovERED.-For some
time past the National Intelligencer has beer
anxiously searching for the flaws" of the Dem
ocratic party about which the Administration
organ has lately had good deal to say. 1t ha:
lust discovered one of them-the 'law" which
enioins upon all ''persons employed in the Gov.
ernment service" the duty of contributing GER
tain quota from their incomes ito advance the
interests of the Democratic party" Nor is there
left any doubt, says the Intelligencer, as to the
means by which the "law" is proposed to be
carried into effect All who do not cheerfully
submit to the assessment, says the Union, ''shoud
be dismissed at once, and their places filled by
those who are patriotic and liberal enough to
double their contribution" The practice Of
levying "tax on officials" is, we understand,
no new regulation, but this is the first time that
the right to do so has been formally avowed and
openly vindicated. Heretofore it has been held
a custom more honored in the breach than in
the observance and, like other impositions of i'll
repute, its processes were conducted under the
friendly shelter of secrecy which at once con-
fessed and concealed their supposed turpitude.
Modern Democracy has changed all this, and
now erects into principle and ''law" what
was formerly numbered among the "deeds of
darkness" to be screened for its unseeminess, if
not for its iniquity.

retired Disguised; and none of the Federal off
cias are regarded with favor except Governor
Cumming whose course is singular. The Nor

City, bringing their wives and children with

the Mormons intend to make an earnest effort
for the admission of Utah into the Union as

The alleged murdarers of Woodford TaYlor-

The alleged murderers of Woodford Taylor
9 slave man, a free negro man, and Mrs. Taylor,
the wife of the murdered man-were broght be-
fore the County Court OF Louisa, on Monday
last. The wife Of Taylor was discharged, as
there was no legal evidence against her the free
negro was sent on to the Circuit Court, and the
case of the slave was postponed until September
Court. The body of the deceased, when exam.
ined at the Coroner's inquest, exhibited several
gashes upon the shoulders, evidently inflicted
with an axe, and the skull was fractured in one
place. The statements of the accused, when ar
rested, were conflicting. The wife at first ac-
cused one Of her neighbors, highly respectable
gentleman, but at subsequent examination re-
tracted the accusation and denied any knowl-
edge of the parties guilty of the crime. The
negroes assert that the white woman did the
deed, and that they happened accidentally to be
present. Taylor was dsspated man, and the
impression prevails that the deceased was in a
drunken frolic, and most probably caused the
difficulty which resulted in his death.-Cha
