" A Douglas to the Fray.

When Saxon raid,
With brand and blade,
Oer Scotia's borders came,
And gave the land,
With bloody hand,
To pillage and to flame
Twas then rang out,
The welcome shout,
From mountain and from brae
God and our right
Stand firm and fight!
A Douglas to the frayr
Oh never was
Unworthy cause
Linked with that rallying cry.
To friends spell,
To foes a knell,
When e'er it pierced the sky.
And as the shout
Rang iiercely out,
Fate owned its conquering sway.

Rss- EXPENSE OF THE OVERLAND MAIL
The Washington Consultation Of Tuesday last
in reference to the Overland California M all,
says that the Postmaster General with view
TO reduce the expenses Of the Department
was anxious to reduce the service to weekly
instead Of semi weekly mail. The Attorney
General has decided, however, that the con-
tract is irrevocabe for six years from the
10th of September, 1858. The annual ex-
penss is 5000, 900, and the change proposed
would have effected o saving Of Sl50,000 per
annum, but it appears that the usual stipula-
tien, giving the head OF the Department q
revisory power over oil contracts for delivery
Of mails, was omitted In that with Messrs.
Butterfsld g. 60, and the Government has
no alternative but to submit. This route,
judging from its present receipts, after deduc.
ting the commissions of the postmasters, will
yield on annual revenue probably, not ex.
ceeding fifteen thousand dollars. The ac-
ceunt between this Overland Mai! Company
and the Post-oflice Department will stand
thus at the close Of the contract; Expendi'
lures by the Department, three millions six
hundred thousand dollars; receipts ninety
thousand misunderstanding a clear loss from
the route OF three millions five hundred and
ten thousand dollars.

dainty as they do this season. lie cultivates
several of the most approved varieties, TO
wit The Early Scarlet, Gushing, Albany
Seeding, Hoxeys Seeding, Ilautbois, and
May Queen. OF these. his favorite is the
May Queen, ten years experience having
satisfied him that it is the most constant
bearer, ard that the berries, in size, color, and
flavor. are more uniformly fine than .hose of
any other variety. Some Of the Albany Seed
lings are larger-we had one in our basket that
measured So inches in circumterence-but to
our taste, they are not equal to the May
Queens in flavor.
Mr.. Horlocber commenced picking from
bis vines some Is days ago, and expects that
they will continue to bear fruit two weeks
longer. At the rate they have yielded thus
