The Papago Indians.

lew uayS ago, Ianaclo, grand cnlel or the apago nation, paid us a parting visit, shaking .nds all round, stating that he had always zen our friend and would continue so Over ,me by such proof of consideration, we pre- ,nted the distinguished aboriginee with an old d silk sash, which we trust may have ben cial effect in rendering still more durable le bonds of amty between the Papagos and ihitesl The chief also called on other friends, md received many presents from citizens of this place. soon after which the Papago camp broke up, and the band of two or three hundred that have been living near Tubac for several months past quietly departed for their own country
 We are indebted to Herman Ehrenberr, Esq, for the following interesting information in regard to the Papagos
 The Papago Indians inhabit the western portion of Arizona, and the northwest region of Sonora Their number is about 1000, (which 1000 live in Quitovcaa, Caborca, and other portions oi northern Sonora. Their country is extrcI Inely diy, and in most places destitute of water; the principal supply used by them is rain water, gathered in natural tanks among the rocks and erags of the volcanic mountain ranges that traverse their country. They range over at least 10000 square miles of land, and in this vast extent of country not one solitary stream of one mile in length, is met with The bulk of the Papagos living in American Terri tory, are concentrated in range of extensive plains, running from the Pimo villages on the Gla through to the town of Altar, in Sonora There are some ten villages on this plain, also some isolated settlements. However, none of these villages are permanent the population move as soon as the water gives out; and it is often that the whole country is abandoned by them on this account.
 In those years when the country is visited by copious showers of rain during the summer months, the Papagos are able to raise very fair crops of corn, melons, squashes, and some little cotton. Then the village of Santa Rosa is a very lively and romantic looking place. Small fields, luxuriantly green, surround it for miles, While the men are engaged in the fields the women scatter among the foot hills of the sur rounding mountains, in search of the fruits from the cactil, of which the gigantic Sahuara, obtaining not seldom height of 40 feet, fur nishes the best and most abundant supply These fruits are preserved in different ways some are dried, others are boiled down to an excellent syrup, very much liked by the whites of Santa Cruz Valley That species of cact described by Bartlett as the Patahaya, is 1T fact the Sahuara-the former and the latter never grow in the same locality
 During harvest time in May and June, large numbers of the Papagos go down into Sonorf to assist in gathering the crops of the Mexi cans As Arizona is gradually settled up those migrations will probably be directed t( the American settlements in future. Theii visit to Tubac and Fort Buchanan has beer rather a long one, this time, owing to a failur

PURCHASING STEAMERs-In the House of Representatives, when the Naval Appropria- ton bill came up, MT Bocock moved an amend ment to the amendment appropriating $l73,700 for the charter of steam vessels for the Para quay expedition, by giving the Secretary of the Navy authority to purchase them. The char tering of these vessels for nine months amounts to this sum, and in making the contract the Naval Secretary inserted clause by which the government could purchase them at $280, 900 only $l00,000 more than the price of the charter, and $500 less than their their charter for fifteen months. This amendment was concurred in by the House.

Another Filibuster Movement.

From New Orleans paper we clip the fol- lowing significant advertisement
 To aU those 1oho may WiSh peacabB to Emi-
 grdte to Arizona and New MeTiso.
 A free passage and all necessary equipments will be furnished those who may desire to accompany the Emigrant Association, which will start on tho first of March, 1859, from Victoria, Texas, or some other more accessible point yet to be designated None need apply who cannot furnish reference as to good char acter and guarantee will be required from emigrantS of their intention of faithfully carry ing out the objects of the association.
 SA LOCKRIDGE.
 Agent Arizona Western Pioneer Association.
 The above is no doubt assfeint to coverShe organization of another force for the invasion of Nicaragua, although we understand that the movement has been postponed for some weeks to come. Victoria is only forty miles from Port Lavaca, where the authorization will doubtless take place, The presence of Walker, Henningsen, ,and other chiefs of the Iflbuster force, in San Antonio, the collection of stores and arms at Victoria, the gathering together of men in camp, without teams and wagons, such as would be necessary if they intended to cross the plains-al serve to contradict the idea that peaceful emigration to this Territory is contemplated. Enligrants that are of real benefit to a country in the way of developing its resources, seldom move in the form of an army equipped for active service. We believe the "Arizona Western Pioneer Association" to be fraud, and that the real design is an other descent upon Nicaragua, from the coast ] of Texas. We trust that if such be the case, the entire flibuster force will be allowed to land on the cost of Nicaragua without the least hindrance from the American government- Then station a few ships of war to prevent achievements, and quietly await the result In few weeks battle, cholera, and yellow fever will do the work, and the whole pestifer- ous gang meet a just retribution.

A LEGAL ANEoDoTE.-There is a well known
custom, assigning counsel to such prisoners as
have no one to defend them. On one occasion,
the court finding man accused of theft and
without counsel, said to wag of lawyer who
was present, Mr.-please withdraw with the
prisoner, confer with him and give such coun-
sci as may be best for his interest. The law
yer and client withdrew, and in fifteen minutes
the lawyer returned into court alone He is
gone your honor told me to give him the best
advice could for his interest and as he said
he was guilty thought the best counsel could
offer him was to cut and run, which he took at
once.

stone of church in Jackson, Mich, few days

Sadness of the Evening Rain.
BY HENRY MORF0RD.

All day long against the easement
Has the heavy south wind beat;
All day long the pools have widened
In the wet and dreary street;
But the night has thickened DER US,
And listen to its sound,
As if something, long departed,
With the night was gathering round.
Sadness stealctb Mar INV sn;r;,
Silent sadness, not of pain,
Such as oceans murmur brinpeth-
Coming with the evening rain.

But would be SO an hour,
And let by-gone thoughts and feelings,
Bring their saddening soothing power
will stand amid the rain-drons
With the night wind round my head,
And call up departed faces
OF the absent and the dead.
will shut my eyes and see them
As they looked SO long ago,
shall hear their pleasant voices
In the rain-drops murmurinp low.
will think ot time NV notber
In thy grave of many years;
will think of thee, but never
With the grief that bringeth tears:
For thou hast not lived to sorrow
Ger my ways, SO weak and wild;
Thou hast never known the footsteps
of thy poor and wayward child.
Close beside thee in the cbnrcb-vard
Sleeps the fairest of our line;
Loved and lost my doye-eycd sister.
Half of earth and half divine.
But two years our darling fingered,
When the mothers voice had died,
And she passed away in autumn,
And we laid her by thy thy side.

walpole's -Four Years in the Pacific.

Several months of light study and heavy
indiscretions" having reduced the Honorable
Frederick Walpole's purse, paled his cheek
and weakened his constitution, lie rejoincd her
majesty's service, and was appointed midship-
man, or masters mate, to the Collingwood, OF
eighty guns, then in lin ls44) about to sail for
the Pacific. With her he continued till she
was relieved in ls4s having in the interim
risen to the grade of lieutenant, and visited
Valparaiso, the chief port, and Santiago, the
capital of Chill Juan Fernandez, of roman
tie memory Lima, and several towns on the
nia; ms well as the Society and Sandwich
Islands, and one or two less known groups
AT some of these places the visits were little
beyond calls and Mr. Walpole saw no more
than could be seen in few days "leaye"
made the most of. At the Sandwich and So
ciety Islands his sojonrn was longer; his
means of observation were more extensive /;
and, though the temporary interest is past and
the subject regards history or the future, he
was at 0taheite while the French were trying

they had succeeded. Chill, however, was his
headquarters after the Collingwood's cruises /;
he seems to have resided there for considera-
Bile periods on leave of absence; and certainly

easy berths enjoyed by the officers of man
Of war on q foreign station. AT the same
time, as Lieutenant Walpole has considered it
his duty to forbear all mention of ship or of
ticers, and of all public transactions, it is pro-
babe that we have only the fair W ,atherside-
the summer season of the service.
The book before us is the general result of
the authors experience, not a continuous mar
rative; Mr.. Walpole presenting his subjects in
II chapter or Il series of chapters treating of
political matters. BY this means, he avoids
the tclium and commonplace that attend full
relation of travels when there is nothing re-
markable to relate; one section contains gen.
eral description, another the account of any
striking incident-as the authors sporting adj
ventures in the Andes. Mr. Walpole also
possesses the qualifications to make readable
II not II valuable book. He has fund of ami
NAL spirits, and the good nature of the sailor,
with his disposition to look on the bright side
of things, and to push on through through the
gloomiest. His style is smart and lively-the
results of turn Of mind not of a studied
mode of composition; nor is he devoid of
yigor. Some sketches of South American
history were perhaps scarcely needed but

As the supervisor of inland revenue at Aber-
ystwith, Mr.. ]. Miller, his nephew, and two
professional gentlemen, biologists, were last
| week examining some strata ofrocks in the cliffs
between Aberystwith and Lanrhystid, they pro-
ceeded along narrow ledge ofprojecting stone
on the face of the cliff about one hundred and
twenty feet above the level of the sea, which
provdentialty happened to be afiill flow. On
passing round q projecting angle, (which for
ages has frowned on all below" the professors
and the revenue officer had rounded the point,
and the young man was in the act of doing so,
when the rock suddenly breaking from under
| his feet, he was whirled round with his face
| towards the sea, and MS he descended he seized
with one hand the ledge beneath his uncle's
| feet whilst he extended the other hand to him,
and it was firmly clasped by the revenue officer,
who held him suspended for fully five minutes,
| during which time he with great difficulty
| maintained his position, there not being six
inches to stand upon. At length Il breathless
pause ensued, whilst Mr.. Miller gazed on a rug
ged protection of rock about ninety feet below
them, and on which he concluded the unfor-
tunate youth was inevitably doomed to be
dashed. But the uncle (who calls himself
San awful coward') at length said with all
the calmness imaginable, "Tom, there is but
one way for it; I'll save you, or we will both
perish together" and with firm voice he
commanded the young man to loose his hold
of the rock, which was mechanically obeyed
with a faint reply, eyes, uncle At this awful
moment Mr.. Miller horizontally sprang into the
air, carrying the young man with him and
such was the force with which he leaped, that
the check caused them to perform several
somersets over each other as they descended
linked together With the rapdity of a flash
of lightning they disappeared below the foam
ing pillows, having cleared the craggy ledge, !
which projected more than six feet from the
perpendicular ofthe point over which the youth |
was suspended. To the delight of their COM
panions who were momentarily horror-struck
they rose about twenty yards apart, buifeting |
the heavy swells of the flowing and returning |
waves at length they struck out for a rock |
that lay about seventy yards in the sea, on |
which they were shortly seated, and from
which they gave three hearty cheers. Their
companions attempted to procure their rescue
by obtaining boat, but owing to the breach
in the ledge found it impossible, and had to
proceed onward for more than three hours be-
fore they were able to extricate themselves.
To their delight the biologists then found that
their brave and dauntless companions had
once more committed themselves TO the deep,
and swan to an accessible part of the cliff and
returned to Llanrhystid, where, with the ex-
ception of the loss of hats, the officers boots
(which he had taken off on first starting on
the ledge) and few slight cuts and bruises,
they appeared not whit the worse from their
perilous adventure WelshmaR.
