The Cincinnati Gazette reports the death OF
James Wright, of Lewis county, Kentucky
from the bite of a rattlesnake. He was Bit
ten in the hand while at work in the woods
on the 4th of July. The Gazette says:
Alarmed at the probable consequences, he
Immediately started for the town, and ran
the entire distance The heat, fatigue and
excitement of course allowed the poison to
circulate through his system and make sure
of its deadly work. BY the time he reached
Vanceburg he was entirely blind, and his
body and head were covered with spots OF
the same color of those of the rattlesnake
The usual remedies were Immediately resort
ed to and every effort made by the attend
ant physicians to neutralize the poison, but
without effect. HI continued to sink rapidly,
and expired between three and four o'clock
next morning In preparing the body to be
laid out singular phenomenon presented
itself In addition to The spot referred to,
there was a picture of the snake itself-per-
feet in shape and color, and as distinct as il

GINSENG IN MlNNEsorA.-Minnesota papers
says that when first gathered, ginseng is
worth from six to ten cents per pound, and
when cured, thirty cents per pound. 1t is
estimated that no less than five hundred tons
will be gathered this year, which will be
worth somo SS500O in first hands The
principal market for this root is China. A
writer in the Philadelphia Press says it is
considered remedy for every i'll that John
Chinaman is Eeil to- and adds:
Give him plenty of ginseng, and John will
never care tea leaf for DIR. Jayne, for
SWANS Panacea or Kennedys Great Medical
Discovery. 1t IS about forty years since the
expectation of ginseng commenced and in
1858 the quantity sent abroad amounted to

Mountain Correspondence.


EDIToR NATIONAL DEMOCRAT "A drown
ing man will catch at straws," and the editor
of tAe Express is now in that position. In
the Express of the 18th appears the follow.
ing:
I'VE cannot understand why the Democrat,
in order to say something funny, and at the
same time degrading, should single out a
Frenchman, without it entertains for them
the KnoaC Nothing contempt which the para
graph would indicate"
He criticised the Democrats report of the
Long Bar meeting with the fond hope of
prejudcing the minds of this intelligent class
of our citizens against the Anti-Lecompton
Democratic ticket. The Democrats report
alluded only to one Frenchman, and the Ex-
press in its desire for misrepresentation,
would convey the idea that all the French
men in th county were included. But our
French citizens are not to be gulled in this
manner. The greater portion of them are
nti-Lecompton, National Democrats, and do
not believe in the proscriptive doctrine ad-
vocated by the Express. They have not for
gotten the Cass LeClerc letter, and entertain
only contempt for the advocates of "once a
subject, always a subject" The French resi-
dents in this locality, believe that the Ad-
ministration have abandoned the right which
France ceded to the United States in former
instances, and naturally conclude that for
eigners of other countries enjoy rights which
they cannot. The Express may rest assured,
that it has made nothing by this unjust criti-
cism. 1t has only served to heighten the
Democrat in the estimation of the French
voters of this county. Such is the unanimous
opinion of the French residents of this Bar
The Express has been in the habit of max
ing ridiculous charges against the Democrat,
and the principles it advocates, but the most
ridiculous of all, is that of Know Nothingism.
This charge, coming as it does from the Ex-
press, falls harmless on the Democrat, and
belongs exclusively to the Express; for
honestly believe, that there is scarcely one
man connected with that institution, who
was not, at some time, a member of that Or
der. Yes, sir; l believe further l believe
that the signs and grips are yet in vogue
amongst them and the leaders of their party,
and were made use of at the Long Bar Con-
vention to defeat the foreigners who asked
for nominations. 1t was clearly shown at
that Convention that no foreigners, particu-
larly Irish, need apply, and the list of names
now advertised in the Express is made up
for the most part, of men who were ardent
admirers and supporters of the Dark Lantern
Chivalry, who carried this county in Sd
l believe the Express has acted imprudently
in applying the term Know Nothing to any
person outside of its own territory and upon
more mature reflection, the editor of that
sheet (whoever he may be, for nobody knows
must see that he has committed an error, in
reviewing a sentiment, against which, every
good citizen should be opposed.
Yours truly, ZAcK.

sum of $4,000 to enable a friend of his to Sc.
cure an election to the State Senate of 1850
He also introduced letter from General

harshly of DR.. Gwin. The meeting is very

DIFFICULTY AT Los ANGELEs.-A correspon-

to focus last Thursday night. A proof copy
of Fridays Vineyard, containing reflections
on DIR. Whites family, happening to get into
