and after inficting on them proper chastise-

we set off towards the settlements During up
wards Of twenty-fv years, when my wanderings
extended to all parts Of our country, this was
the only time at which my life was in dan.
ger from my fellow-creatures. Indeed, 50 little
risk do travellers run in the United States that
no one born there ever dreams Of any danger to
be encountered on the road; and can only
account for this occurrence by supposing that
the inhabitants of the cabin were not Americans.

Douglas.

From lde most reliable information we can
get, Senator Douglas is fast losing ground in H.
inois, The Chicago papers express the convic.
lion that he will retire from the canvass before
election, sad leave the battle to be fought be-
tween the Republicans and the Buchanan meu.
Should this course be adopted by him, it be-
comes matter of interest TO know how his
friends will vote, OF course, all opinion on
the subject is resolveah!e into mere conjecture

During the forenoon, great anxiety was felt
on account OF the little steamer Olive Branch,
which left yesterday with large number of ex-
curSionsts for Put Bay. Parties who returned
on the Pearl reported that the OliUc Branch was
unable on account of the roughuess OF the Lake
ou side yesterday to proceed farther than West
Sister Island and some stated that she was seen
there on their return last evening Before nine
o'clock, parties who had friends and relatives OH
the Branch became 50 alarmed that the Propel-
Itr Etmird was obtained and sent down to look
alter the missing eXcursioniss. During the fore
noon all sorts ot rumors were in circulation, and
when the Eimird hove in sight down the bay on
her return many anxious eyes were directed to-
ward her, and much JOY was manifested when she
steamed up the river, crowded with huzzaing cx :
cursonsts and followed by the Olive Branch,
with portion of the party still on board.
Ii seems that after leaving the river yesterday,
it became so rough that Capt Hall deemed it
unsafe to proceed further than West Sister Island
with his heavy load of passengers. The Branch
