only six hours elapsed from the time that
it left the fissure until it entered the sea
"a distance of four miles.
From 70 to 1858 there have been no
less than 65 eruptions, and sixteen OF
these have occurred in the present CEN
tury, though one of our cotemporaries,
(the Boston Journal,) without any au-
thority, states the number of eruptiOns
since 1900 as being, at the farthest, SIX.
The same journal says that when Hercu-
laneum and Pompeii were destroyed,
more than 100000 human beings were
buried under the burning lava and Gin
ders. This is sheer nonsense, for no
eruption of Mount Vesuvius has been
described with greater minuteness than
Pliny the younger has described that Of
76. The lava was preceded by the
shower of ashes. The darkness was such
that for 3 days the sun $ rays were not
seen During all this time the inhabl-
tants were escaping from the vicinity of
the mountain. Pompeii did not cont
more than $4,000 inhabitants, and Her
culaneum was not double its size. In
the parts of Herculaneum thoroughly ex-
cavated only two skeletons have been
found. From Pompeii, not being threat
ened with immediate danger, the people
did not flee with the same rapldity, and
of the few skeletons found, there is evil
dence that they are those of individuals
who were prisoners, sentinels, less than
score of women, and persons impelled
by avarice to stay to the last moment,
when, doubtless the mephitic gasses soon
put an end to their lives.
There are cities situated as near the
crater as Herculaneum and Pompeii were,
but we hope it may never be recorded of
them, "they were, but are not"

FORTUNE HUNTERS.

The Boston Courier makes some very
sensible comments upon Captain de I'll
vere's episode in this country. The in
fatuation of Mrs. Blount and her daughter
for an escaped convict is indeed remark
able:
The enterprising Captain Henry de
Riyiere, who has made Mrs. Blount and
her daughter the captives of his bow and
spear, is designated in the papers as a
Zouave. We think that appellation dis
respectful to that gallant, dashing corps.
The Captains exploits would hardly be
sanctioned by the moral sense acquired
in Algiers or the Crimea. lie is liar
and seducer, but not Zouave. His
worldly possessions, as returned by the
officer who attached them, consists Of two
trunks and contents, an elegant saddle
and bride, one hat box, sword, and a
large photograph likeness of himself, the
said Rviere We thing that a pretty
respectable inventory for Jeremy Did
dler; we should not have expected any
thing beyond pack of cards and bowie
knife. We presume that to this list OF
personal chattles are to be added a plaus-
ible manner and luxuriant moustache.
Thus armed and equipped, he goes forth
into this Western world, conquerlng and
to conquer; and thus far, he may be con-
graduated on his success. The amatory
sportsman who brings down the mother
with one barrel, and the daughter with
the other, has reason to be satisfied with
his sport. The fact of Chantery,, who
shot two woodcocks at one shot-a feat
commemorated in enduring marble and
immortal verse-was nothing to this.
The Captain belongs to class of Eu-
ropean adventurers, of whom there are al
| WAYS one or more in America. You will
find them every summer at Newport or
Saratoga, or Lorg Branch, or Cape May.
Sometimes one of them gets blown north
ward as far as Nahant; but this is not
very common, as the air of New England
is rather too bracing for them. They
are mighty hunters, like Nimrod; but
not " before the Lord" and their game
| is woman not man. Some of them have
titles; form many parts of Europe Counts
and Barons and Marquises are as com
mon as Honorables are here. Some OF
them assume titles to which they have no
claim. Some of them are broken down
gamblers, or couriers, or billiard-makers,
or even swindlers or escaped felons. Bnt
they are generally men of prepossesslng
appearance and engaging address,
They are apt to have white hands, soft
voice. and sweet smile. They charm
silly women by manner that seems
1 happily blended of courage and tender
ness. We pay comparatively little at
| tention to manners; but they give their
/ whole heart and mind to them, and their
manners are the finished result.of long
course Of cultivation. And this is mat
ter Of no small moment; for in the game
of life, good manners are always trump
cards. ,s

The New York Times publishes letter of the fth
August from Salt Lake City, from which we extract
thefollowfng intelligence:
The election for Territorial aud county officers,
which was held throughout the Territory Monday
last, passed off, as far we able to learn, very
quietly and peaceahly
In this city, although there was for the first time
since its foundation, votes cast in opposition to the
nominees Of the Church, yetit created no disturbance
and but little excitement.
The Mormon leaders, perfectly satisfied that we
could not carry the day did trouble themselves
further than to order all Of their subjects to vote in
consequence of this order however, the vote poled
this year far exceeds that generally cast in this
city.
The highest number of votes on the Union or
Gentle ticket, for any one person, was 81. The
highest number OF votes cast was 1856. Those on
the Church ticket who received this vote being voted
for also by the " Gentiles.n
The following the members of the Legislature
elected in this county on Monday last, and the votes
cast for each as appears from the returns flied in the
Secrctarys office:
