The people of Memphis were very much
landed for their magnanimity and S2hilanr
thropy, because of their treatment to the pas
sengers of the Inflated steamer Pennsylvania
The hearts and the purses of the citizens, 1t
was said, were opened to all the unfortunate
passengers who could be taken to that place
An incident of a very different nature has
been brought to our notice. Among the suf-
ferers there were a gentleman and lady from
Mobile. The lady is widow, and the gentle
man was a young man, her nephew, who had
hardly attained the age of maturity. She was
not hurt by the explosion, but lost everything
except her money belt and watch. He
was asleep in his berth at the time, and
very much injured. They were both taken to
Memphis. He lived for a week, and had the
consolation of mothers care and attention.
His mother is widow also, of very straight
ened means, and had been supported for years
by the exertions of her son. She was tele-
graphed Immediately upon their landing in
Memphis, and reached them before bis death.
These poor widows in a strange place, without
acquaintance and friends. had the assiduOus
attentions of two physicians upon their dying
friend, one of sohOn charged them the snug sum Of
one hundred dollars, and the other siaty dollars
There were other generous and kind-hearted
people in the place, who managed to charge
them the nice little sum S240 for other SER
vices, which took nearly every dollar they had

A Card.

The Committee to whom was referred the
several matters, for their investigation by Re-
solution at the last Legislature, deem it due
to themselves to state, that they are laborious-
~ and earnestly engaged in the discharge OF
that duty, and will, as soon as possible, make
their report. We feel that tbs also proper for
us to state, that in the commencement of our
investigation we were not aware of the extent
or difficulty of the duties we had TO perform.
We hope, however. to discharge them to the
satisfaction of the public, and to do full and
ample justice to all parties. We are resolved
to ascertain every fact, that can be reached,
that will throw light upon the questions before
us, and develope fully every mistake or fraud
that may have been committed. To do this
properly will yet require some time, how long,
the Committee are unable to say.

The Trout.

In some remarks made before the Farmers
Club in this city, by Robert L. Pell. Esq,
we find the following interesting information
concerning this highly esteemed fish:
The trout is the only fish that comes in
and goes out of season with the deer; he grows
rapidly, and dies early after reaching his full
growth. The female spawns In October-as
Il different time from nearly all other fish;
after which hG.h male and female become
lean, weak, and unwholesome eating, and If
examined closely, will be found covered with
a species of cloves, aped insects, which APP

they continue sick until warm weather, when
they rub the insect OFF on the gravel. and i'm
mediately grow strong. The female is the
best for the table She may be known by her
small head and deep body. Fish are always
in season when their heads are so small as to
be disproporti1ne to the size of their body.
The trout is less oily and rich than the sal
mon. the female is much brighter and more
beautiful than the male; they swim rapidly,
and often leap, like the salmon, To a great
height when ascending streams. When l iiryt

NARROW ESCAPE OF A TRAN.-7Tad displac-
ed By Me heat Of the Sun.-The train which left
Buffalo yesterday afternoon for this city, mar
rowly escaped being thrown from the track by
the displacement of the rails. The train had
only proceeded couple of miles before it
was stopped by signal from some of the
track man, who had found the rails bent in
two places. The ira n came the a stand still
without accident, when an examination of the
track was made. 1t appeared that the heat
of the sun had so expanded to rail that it had
curved each way-it being the combination
rail-fully six inches out of line.
All this expansion must have taken place
within two or three hours, as not more than
that time had elapsed since trains had passed
over this track 1t appears that when the
track was laid the rails had not been placed far
Ell Olgh apart to allow for the greatest possible
expansion under the heat of summer. The
passengers felt much relieved when they learn
ed the cause of the stop and the narrow es-
cape they had made.
1t took about one hour to fix track so
three train could pass. 1t then came on and
nearly made up the time to this city. coming
down in one hour and fifty minutes, which is
first-rate time.-Rochester AdU.. Thursday.

"The President has adopted decided and

"The President has adopted decided and
vigorous policy towards Nicaragua"
So says a dispatch from Washington. An
other case of locking the stable door after the
horse has been stolen! Our government is
always behind. Its energies are never put
forth at the right moment; and, when put
forth, are as apt to be misdrected as right
1t has now determined to protect the rights
of American citizens, and to see that the
transit route is kept open to them. 1t should
never have permitted the route to be closed
If it had let Gen. WALKER alone, all would
have been about right in that quarter now,
American interests predominant, and Mica
ragua undergoing the pupilage necessary to
become n member of Brother Jonatban's
family, instead of vassal and bondsman of
European Governments.

In one of his messages to Congress, just
before the adjournment of that body, Mr..
BUCHANAN said:
"The habit of extravagant expenditures,

be involved in serious financial difficulties"
Fire! Fire!' shouts the incendiary, hav-

President prate of "extravagant expendi-
lures" What cares he, or his party. really,

WASHINGTON, June 81.

Count de Sartiges, the French Minister, had
an official interview yesterday with Mr.. Cass.
during which he rendered the fullest and most
satisfactory disavowal of all completely by
the French Government in Mr. Bely's project
on Nicaragua and Central America.

"Involving, as the operations of the parsonage
did, if they had been effectual clear viola
ton of the well known policy of this Govern
ment in regard to European colonization and
the establishment of exclusive European juris-
diction on this continent, it was not to have
been supposed that the French Government
could have authorized the action taken by
Mr.. Belly in Nicaragua"

Hon. Nathan Green-The Lebanon

We take pleasure in laying before the read
ers of the PATRIOT, the communication of
Judge GREEN, drawn out by the structures OF
the Montgomery (Ala.) advertiser, upon what
purports to be an extract of letter written
by him to the American Tract Society. AS
we expected, the Advertiser has wholly miscon-
ceived, if it did not Intentionally pervert, the
letter, spirit and intent of the honorable gen
tleman's remarks. AS explained by him,
there is nothing in them to which any zone can
justly take exceptions; certainly nothing to
justify the gratuitous onslaught of our super

watches over Southern interests on the banks
of the beautiful Alabama. IL the advertiser is

y uThe acknowledgement


We publish below a card from the Commit
tee making certain investigations under the
authority of the Legislature. The resolution
providing tor the investigations requires them
to report to the Governor by the first day of
October next, but they have been diligently
at work endeavoring to anticipate the time,
and will succeed in doing SO. The magnitude
of the labor devolved upon them is little I'M
derstood by the public. To make their report
reliable and of value to the State, they are
compelled to examine into the correctness of
the books Of the Secretary of State and Comp
troller, and to 90 this properly they must
compare every item with the proper vouchers;
ascertain the number of bonds issued by the
State, and to separate the turnpike, railroad,
and regular State bonds to calculate the
amount of interest which should have been
paid, and then to ascertain how much has
been paid. In the prosecution of these
branches of the investigation, they have
already advanced to a considerable extent, and
we may say have prepared a statement of the
accounts of the State, its Indebtedness, the
number, date, and issuance of bonds, which
will be found invaluable in its future business
operations. The task has been, as we have
heretofore stated herculean, but they are ex-
ecuting it faithfully. and when they have
finished, their report, however voluminous,
will be a text book for all who desire to be-
come fully acquainted with the character Of
the securities of the Free Banks, the mode of
transacting business in the Secretary of
States and Comptroller's Offices, and the bond
account of the State, as well as the question
as to the alleged disappearance of bonds of
the Exchange Bank. We are inclined to
think that it will take the committee four or
five weeks yet to complete their labors. The
public must make up its mind to wait pa
tiently until this time elapses.

The RUsT IN OATs.-We understand that
some planters in Russell county, Ala, have
lost stock by turning them upon fields of oats
injured by rust. Not only hogs, but horses
and mules also. il is said. have died from the
effects of eating these oats. We have heard n
report that one gentleman lost sixty out Of
sixty-fiv hogs turned into field from which
the oats had been cut. If these reports are
true. farmers should be very cautious about
feeding away or sending to market oats thus
affected; and we hope that each one will make
inquiries and cautious experiments to ascer-
tain the truth of the reports that have reached
rs.-C5lsaabus Eng.

A SIXTEEN Gun CORVETTE RAISED AT SEBA

A SIXTEEN Gun CORVETTE RAISED AT SEBAs-
ToPOL.-From a letter dated Sebastopol, May
10th. in the Courier, we make the following
extract:
During the last week, the American Com
pany, which is at work in the harbor of this
place, under Col Gowen, of Boston, have sue
ceeded in raising from her former submerged
position a corvette of sixteen guns in an en-
tire condition and in good state of preserva-
ton. The vessel was raised by means of the
caissons of the Company, which, until within
few days, have not all been ready for the
work required of them. The corvette is the
first vessel that has been raised whole, and
now that the machinery for raising the vessel
is in order, it is confidently expected that the
remainder of the work will he prosecuted
without delay During the past ten months
the Company have been engaged in destroy
ing certain of the vessels under water. and in
raising the pieces. About fifteen ships of war
have broken into fragments by blasting, and
the greater portion of the material of which
they were composed has been raised.

The .Wayside Spring i'm Alabama.
BY CHARLES MACKAy.


Bonnie wayside burnie,
linking in thy well,
Softly as the music
OF fairy bell -
To what shall compare thee,
For the love bear thee,
On this sunny day,
Bonnie little burnie,
Gushing by the way!
Thou'rt like to fifty fair things,
Thou'rt like TO fifty rare things,
Spring Of gladness flowing
Grass and ferns among,
Singing all the noontime
Thine inc-ssant song -
Like a pleasant reason,
Like a word in season,
Like friendly greeting,
Like a happy meeting,
Like the voice Of comfort,
In the hour of pain,
Or sweet sleep long vanished,
Coming back again -
Like the hearts romances,
Like a poets fancies,
Like lovers visions
or his bliss to be (;
Like little maiden
Crowned with summers three,
Romping in the sunshine
Beautiful to see -
Like my true loves accents
When alone we stray,
Happy with each other,
Through the meads OF May
Or sit down together,
In the wintry weather
By the CHEEKY fire
Gathering in that circle
All this worlds desire.
fri
And music Of the Tyre!
Bonnie little burnie,
Winding through the grass,
Time shall never waste thee,
Or drain thy sparkling glass
And were not To taste thee,
And bless thee as pass,
'Twould be a scorn of Beauty,
IT would be a want of Duty,
'Twould be neglect Of Pleasure
So come, thou little treasure
I'll kiss thee while l may;
And while sip thy GOODNESS,
On this sunny day,
I'll bless thy Gracious Giyer,
Thou little baby river,
Gushing by the way
