SERIOUS AFFRAY.-Thc Dunlcith Ad-
vcrtser contains an account of an al-
fray which occurred near that place,
and in which Charles Allen, clerk of
the Bates House, received a severe if
not fatal wound on the head.
The Sheriff of Jo Davies County
visited Dunleith and arrested five men
on the charge Of breaking up the
house of Schmidt, at which one mm,
der has already been committed, and
other atrocities perpetrated, and the
demolition of which, by an enragcd
crowd, was conSummated. The city ot
| Dunleith is infested with u number o.
scoundrels and dcsperadocs, who hav,

The Pacific Railroad is killed once
more. The bill before Congress has
been postponed to the next session.
1t will be recollected that Mr.. Buchan-
an pledged himself to California, be-
fore his election, to give the Pacific
Railroad his early and willing support
The light in which both the California
Senators regard this broken pledge is
worthy of attention. 1t may surprise
same people to hear California talking
seriously of an independent Govern
ment, but they may yet become accus
toned to it,

THE RIVER OF DEATH.

Oh thou river, gently flowing,
River Of the nOiselcSS tide
A light boat deck d with garands
On thy CLASSY breast doth glide.
No pale form with features wasted
Sits within that vessels Prov
But youth nth dark loCks flowing,
And a fair and glorious brow.
And he points with finger lifted
To the nebb'y, gem like shore
To the radiant hills beyond Il,
Where are joys forcvernorc.
And see long vanished faces,
60 that bright shore gath'rug nighD
Who were missed from household places
Who were wept in days gone by.
Oh thou river, gently flowing,
Calmly Will meet Thy tide,
And beside the youthful helmSman,
Peaceful DER thy waters glide.
