noHENLrNDEN. Own THE LEFT,


BY CAMPBELL, (over the Left.)
In Norfolk when the Sun was low,
stranger plodding through the snow;
Was heard In accents soft and low,
Enquiring for Bindery:
The stranger quickly saw sight,
While walking pretty late at night
In Hill Street where by candle light,
He saw our handsome Sign.
Then shook his sides W it'll pleasure riven,
Then rushed he to our place as driven;
And uttering shouts that reached to Heaven,
Cried, Long Live CLARK and WALTERS.
Tis morn, but scarce you lurid sun.
Sees our days labor we'll begun,
Ere up our stairs the people run,
To leave their welcome orders.
The rush grows greater, clear the way,
While shines the sun we must make hay;
Wen do your work if you'll but pay,
Cash down when all is finished.
And brighter shall our faces glow,
AS through the gate our patrons flow
To not soul shall we ray no,
When asked their work to do.
For business men we BLANK Books make,
From matrons MAGAZINES we take,
While maidens drawers and boxes rake,
To find their scattered Music.

AERIAL DIscovERIEs.-It is now pretty wen
demonstrated, from the balloon ascensions that
have been made during the past few months
that at an elevation of between two and three
miles above the earth there is strong wind
blowing constantly towards the northeast, and
at heget Of four miles there is still stron-
ger current blowing directly towards the north
pole. Aessrs. Wise, La Mountaiae aud others,
who ascehdsd from st. Louis, last summer, aud
landed 10 New York, near the Canada line, en-
countsred both Of these surrents-their balloon
bearing generally in Q northeasterly direction,
butat one time, when at the highest elevation
they were carried due north. In the perilou:
ascension recently made by Messrs. La Noun
tains and Haddock, from Watertown, N. Y,
they at once rose to a height of nearly four
miles, and their course was almost due north
from the place of departure, They Travelled at
the rate of about two hundred miles an hour,
and after being up two hours found themselves
just entering the great Canada wilderness, when
they let Off the gas and descended to the earth
as rapidly as possible. Had they held steadily
on their course for twenty-four hours at the
rate they were going, they would have reached
the north pole.

THAT LIBEL SUT.-We published last week a
report, to the effect that President Buchanan
was about to commence a libel suit against
Col. Forney, on account of an article which
appeared in the Press, in relation TO the death
of Senator Broderick. The report is contra
dicted on the authority of the President himself,
who says he never had any intention of COM
mencing libel suit against Forney. The fol-
lowing is the concluding portion of Forney'
article, which gave rise to the report
"David G. Broderiek has yielded up his life
for a sacred principle. II he had surrendered
to the Establishments of the Administration, he
might to-day be living among his numerous
friends. 1t was only because he refused to
compromise the truth. aud to abandon his SOL
emu pledge, that we are now called upon to
mourn his untimely death. Thus has closed
pure, beautiful, and stainless life Thus has
fallen the first great martyr to the political
principles of the campaign of 1856! We ask
the arch traitor to those principles. if, in his
old age, and in the sunset of his life, he can
feel that bis hands are clear of the hearts blood

DEATH or AN INDIAN CurEF. The Great Spirit
has released another Of the aborigines from his
earthly tenement, and taken his spirit home.
"COndeacon," the oldest chief Of the Ontonagon
band, died last week He was nearly 100 years
old, and remembered well, being quite lad,
the first mining enterprise in this country, near
the forks Of the OntonagOn. and in the vicinity
OF the celebrated cooper rock"
This mining was done under the superintend-
ence Of Alexander Henry, in l77l, at which
time the subject OF our sketch was about ten
years old.
In the early part Of The present century, he
had terrible encounter with q black bear,
near the American landing. some twelve miles
above this village, the marks of which he car
ried to bis grave. When found on the bank of
the river he was nearly dead, tho flesh being 80
torn from his back aud sides as to expose the
homes and ribs in several different places and
life was despaired of for some days, but his iron
constitution finally overcame wounds which
any ordinary man must have sunk under, aud
he recovered.
His antagonist, full grown bear, was found
dead but a few rods from where the old chief
was picked up, his body being pierced in a num-
Der Of places. and finally through the heart, by
his mortal combatant.

TROUT MIoRArIoN.-The proprietors of the

over to Carson river. in September last to pro-

some small lakes communicating with it, loca-
The men succeeded in getting about hundred
fine fish, ninety-four of which were safely taken
across the mountains and deposited in the lakes
and reservoir in fine condition. Two years
will suffice to give them excellent fishing, where
fish never lived before. They were carried q

WALKER's RIVER AND SURRoUNDING CoUN-
TRY.-A correspondent Of the San Francisco Times,
writing from Walkers river, says;
A more cherries and worthless country than this
and the surrounding region, apart from its mineral
wealth. hardly be found west Of the Great Basin
Even the Mohave Desert, the most sterile portion
of California, is scarcely less inviting than these
barren and lonely mountains. 1t is melancholy to
think as one looks, from lofty peak for hundreds
of miles north, east, and SOUTH that this whole
panse of country must be forever doomed to silence
and desolaton. 1t being, with little exception, unfit
for the abode of civilized man. Nothing but the
discovery Of paying mines, of which, it must be ad
mitted, there Is strong hope, ever deliver it
from being sealed to utter solitude. Even the
Indian and the wild beast to avoid it as region
too dreary TO make them home, and too poor to
supply their few and humble wants.
Walkers river, generally supposed to be in Cali
foma, lies mostly in Western Utah. The diggings,
with the eastern fork on which they are situated,
being almost entirely within the latter territory. This
stream is formed by two branches, the one coming
from the southeast, called the east fork, and the
other from the southwest called the west fork. They
unite at point about fortyve miles east of Genoa,
after which the main river, then stream OF
no great magnitude, runs northeast short distance,
when it sweeps towards the SOUTH which course it
pursues for twenty-five miles, when it falls into
Walkers Lake. a body of water, at this season OF
the year, about forty miles long and twenty broad,
but of somewhat larger dimensions in summer, when
swollen by the melting SHOWS.

THE Mono DIGGINGs.-These new diggings are
situated on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
within a few miles of Mono Lake, and are said TO be
within the boundaries Of Calaveras county. They
are not very extensive, far the present dis
coveries extend, being confined to one or two pay
ing gulches and embracing territory about four
miles in extent. Several companies on one Of these
gulcEes reported doing remarkably well, while
others who are working there realizing but small
wages. 1t is said by some Of the adventurers who
have been there, that il has been demonstrated by
prospecting that many of the hills also contain the
precious metal. Water however, is scarce, and can
only be obtained in the dggngs by means of ditches
which be dug from there to the adjacent rivers
One small ditch furnishes the supply used by those
working the mines at present.
The country in which these new diggings are situ-
nted is described dreary and inhospitabe region,
destitute Of wood, sage brush being the only article
of fuel. Granite rock is the principal geological
Characteristic of the REGION and in many places it
is pulverized to fine sand, which is blown around
as the sand is from the hills back of San Francisco.
Being situated at a much higher altitude than our
own mining region, it is said to be very cold in the
vicinity of Mono in winter, and considerable snow
falls there during that season, which fact will pre-
clude all possibility of working the mines from the
commencement OF Writer until the opening OF
spring.-iSOnOTd Age.
