and men could throw in his path, l,v the vic.
or Of his intellect, the frmhess Of his purpose
the truth OF his heart and the energy of his
nature, raised himself to one of the highest
positions in the republic, and, had he lived,
might have attained the first, now rests in n
premature grave He was our Senator in
Congress; though his career wns short. it was
enough for him to achieve lasting reputa-
tion. The mistaken fidelity with which he
adhered to his principles; the bold scorn
with which he met all attempts to induce
him to swerve from the path of what he
deemed his duty, the untiring industry which
he devoted to the discharge of the trusts re-
posed in him; the ability and integrity ex-
hiOited in his short but memorable career;
and the unpretending virtues of his private
life are now fresh in our remembrance. He
has been identified with the history of the
State for ten years. She may we'll mourn
for her adopted son. To pay some tribute to
his memory, and mark the sad event of his
death with some appropriate token, is the de.
sire of the people whom he served, and the
friends whom he has left behind him.
We have been appointed committee to
take measures for the erection of n suitable
monument in honor of the distinguished
dead; and we invite all who honored him in
life to make their contributions, so that a

INTERESTING CRUISE IN BEHRING'S STRAITS
AND THE ARCTTo OCEAN-The schooner San
Diego arrived here at the close of last week
from an interesting voyage, some particulars
OF which We lay before our renders The
San Diego, schooner Of about one hundred
and fifty tons, commanded by Capt. Grafton.
was fitted out by Messrs. Ii. b. 'richenor d
Co., fora general cruise, principally in the
North Pacific and Arctic Oceans. The first
destination from here was certain ruano
Island, situated in about long. 100 E., and
not far from the equator, but whose exact
position her owners do not feel called unon
to make pubic. After examining and TAX
ing possession OF this, the little craft left the
gentle breezes and pleasant weather of the
tropics for the icy shores of Behring's Straits:
on her way thither making short stoppaee
at the Alentian, or Fox Islands. These Is
lands have been, probably with Justice, set
forth ms the most advantageous place for an
intercontinental telegraph line the length of
cable that wtnld have to be submerged in
any one place being far exceeded by many
now in excellent working order.
The schooner then proceeded on what
might be termed general trading voyage.
exchanging with the natives on either c ,ast
such commodities ms were suited to their
tastes or wants for furs, oil, ivory and bone.
The ivory consists of the tuslis of the warus,
of which the San Diego brought several tons,
her hold, run, etc, bearing the appearance Of
a cttacomb from the quantities of tusks with
which they are filled. We were shown some
pairs that were at least 80 inches in length
and 4 or 44 inches in thickness at the larger
end. 1t is said by some that these ocean
monster shed their tusks annually account
ing for the large quantities that are found
among the Kamschatkans, Samoideans and
Esqumaux, though these people kill la ge
numbers Of walrus annually, hnrpooning
them with lances tipped with walus bone,
to which are attached long lines made out of
walrus skin, cut, like the bulls hide of the
Carthagenian Queen, into one long strip
with an evenre3s that is perfectly surpri,ing,
an entire warus hide being thus transform
ed into continuous cord af the size of fin
ger and several fathoms long.
BY far the most valuable part of the cargo,
however, are the furs collected on the vov
age comprising those of the Polar bear, wolf,
fox, sable ermine, etc. The sable and other
small and valuable furs are, we believe, oh
tanned principally from the Inhabitants of
Russian Asa-the bear, wolf and fox skins
on the coast Of the Arctic.-S T. Times.

see nothing of the lion except his eyes as he
occasionally turned to take look at his pur
suer. Hopkins followed cautiously for some
distance, until at length the animal turned
square round, probably with the intention of
springing upon his pursuer, when Hopkins
fired. The ball took effect between the eyes
and the animal dropped dead in his tracks.
We are informed that the animal measured
thirteen feet from the tip of the nose to the
