entirely On the North end East. Very much

a great extent, we would supply our own

the battles Of that celebrated General from
the beginn to the close of his career. excep-
ting the battle OF Waterloo, in which he was
under the command Of the English, in the
eleventh regiment of Hussars. 1t is wonder
fu how his life shoul1 have been preserved
in the midst of so much exposure, and thai
he should have escaped with 50 few marks of
the fierce contests through which he passed.
his only wounds being bullet through the
feshy par. OF the thigh while under Napo-
leon, and saber cat over the arm and breast
at the battle of Waterloo. He came 10 the
I"Jnited States in 1891, and has been a resi-

yesterday. sF
Col. Landers's division of the South Pass
wagon road has been completed. The new
road is shorter and better than the old route.
The Indians about the northern boundary of
the Territory are reported as being bold and
troublesome. They had arrayed themselves
against small party of Col. WalIen's wagon
road expedition, but with no serious result.
The report of the massacre of Wallen's CON-
mand, received via California, probably grew
out Of this demonstration. -

The whole amount of the public land surveys,

THE SAN JUAN DIFFIcuLTY.-Wa stiaqton.
Sept. 25.-Colonel Rankin, Register of the
Land Office at Olympia, in Washington Terri
tory, has arrived here, from the island of San
Juan. He reports that if the intentions of Gov
ernor Douglas had been carried out, there
would have been collision between the British
and American forces, as the vessels Satellite
and Plumper had had orders from him to fire,
but Admiral Baype opportunity arrived and
superseded him in command of the English
ships of war, five in number.
The original misunderstanding was with the
Hudson Bay Company, the interests of which
were represented by Governor Douglas. The
island of San Juan had been in the occupancy
of the Americans at least eighteen months, no
body seeming to question their rights, and for
a longer period was considered and treated in
all respects as belonging to Washington Ter
ritory.
1t was not until General Harvey applied to.
and was informed by Boundary Commissioner
Campbell, that our title to the island was clear
and certain, that he dispatched troops thither,
at the earnest request of the residents, who
claimed protection from British aggression
aud especially from the predatory incursions of
Northern Indians, who had even taken and
held possession of light house for three DAYS.
and against whom private expeditions had re:
peatedly been sent to chastise them. Colonel
Rankin says the people of Washington Terri
tory and of the Pacific States are unanimous
for our retention of the island of San Juan.
And such is their enthusiasm, that if the U. s.
troops should be directed to vacate it, private
parties, in formidable numbers, would imme-
diately occupy that important position, aud not
surrender without C severe struggle. But it is
not supposed in this city that our troops will be
withdrawn, as this would be considered as an
admission that our title is clearly disputable.
1t may not be generally known that this
Government has recently confirmed bluff of
land, containing three thousand acres, for
military reservation, if anything, further north
than San Juan.

if she accomplishes, win make up for all posi-.
bic failures of another kind. If she accom-
phshes the great fact of enabling bad sailors to
cross the ocean without being sick, she will
revolutionize sea transit, increasing the amount
of travellers in the same proportion as modern
railways compared with the old stage coaches.
Sea-sickness is induced by the up-heaving of
the diaphragm in proportion as the rising and
falling of the waves converts the vessel into a
moving lever, uplifting stem and stern alternate
ly. Yet, strange to say, there are people to be
found who maintain that the larger the vessel,
the more she will pitch and roll They forget
that a large log is undisturbed by the ripple on
a sheet of water, while small toy vessel is in
cessantly moving and tossing, taking every an
gle of the ripple in its departure from the hori-
zontal line. The question is only one of pro-
portion. If the waves be large, the vessel must
be much larger to prevent any disturbance.
But the directors persist in regarding the waves
as solid ridges, upon which this long vessel is
to rock, forgetting that the weight Of the vessel
will sink into these ridges till the displacement
is sufficient to support her. She will make a
straight horizontal course through the waves,
while their crests and valleys undulate alongside.
If 700 feet of length be not enough to accom-
plish this, we must go to 1000, till we have
/" ruled the waves straight Once a Week.

ARRIVAL OF THE VANDERBILT.

New York, Sept. 26.-The steamer Wander:
bilt, with London dates to Thursday the 18th,
arrived this morning.
1t was stated in London, that Spain had re-
turned an evasive reply to the question from
England, touching the concentration of troops
in the neighborhood of Gibraltar.
The Governments of France and England
were to take immediate measures for inHicting
chastisement on the Chinese.
The Florence correspondent of the London
Times says it was reported that Pope Plus had
received extreme JUNCTION, or the sacramental
administration to the dying.
The advices received at Madrid, from Tan
gier, state that, in consequence of the agitation
caused by the death of the Emperor of Morocco,
all the foreign consuls of that place had BARR.
caded their houses and armed their dependents.
Also, that the Christians in the empire were
leaving in haste. Another account says the
families of the consuls had taken refuge on
board the Spanish steamer.
The Florence correspondent of the Times
says that treaty was signed on the 26th of
August, between the Papal Government and
the Queen of Spain, by which the latter enga-
ges to occupy the Roman States with troops
when the French forces are withdrawn.
The Times of Thursday says the Government
had decided dispatching Immediately to China
several additional steam and sailing frigates,
together with large reinforcements of troops.
Orders have already been dispatched to the ma
val rendezvous for enlisting men, and, in order
tie expedite matters, the Coast Guard were to
be called to volunteer.
Great improvements have been ordered in
the Notifications of Dover Castle, in order TO
place it in an efficient state of defepce.
The mercantile letters from China generally
concur in the view that a renewal Of 6ostilities
viii not cause any material interruption to
trade. The natives at Shanghai were much an
noysd mao and s,
it was believed that England would have to
send out very large naval and military force,
and perhaps blockade various ports, ia order to
bring the Emperor to submission.
Sit William Eyre, late commander Of the
British forces at Canada, died on Thursday,
the 18th. - e. ~
some Of the Madrid journals publish articles
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1859-09-29

on the necessity of taking Gibraltar from the

London, Thursday Morning. - The Times
Paris correspondent says " 1t is rumored that
three thousand French troops are ordered to be
held In readiness for China.n
Consels closed at 954 o. $50 for money, and

The splendid auroral display of the night of
Sunday, August 28th, was witnessed throughout
Germany, where also, as well as in other parts
OF Europe, its peculiar freaks with the electric
telegraph were observed. This was particularly
duwitz, Cracow, and Brussels. The operators at
Antwerp were aroused from their slumbers by the
ringing of the signal bells. At Paris, London,
and Berlin, communications were interrupted
till l.3O A. NJ, while the submarine line be-
tween Dover and Ostend remained undisturbed.
The aurora was also seen at Rome and other
parts of Italy,
