HENRY CLAY PATE.

n6N Il lin = h41s
We last week received letter from
Henry Clay Pate. The reader must not
think that our object in making tins an
nouncement, is to let people know that
Henry Clay Pate has written ms letter
-on the contrary. we win consider it a
favor, if every one viii forget that we
were so honored, as soon as we shall have
gotten through with the subject in hand.
A perusal of the letter will inform the
reader Of its purpoFt:-
WEsTPoRr. No, April ~. 1859.
SrR:-I heard from some one, that
you had published sort of biography in
your paper. of Kansas notables. and that
l was among them.
If you will send me copy containing
such biography of myself l shall be
obliged to You.
Respectfully. &c,
II. CLAY PATE.
eE Mail the paper to Norfolk, Va.
Now, "some Que" is tetotally mista-
ken, for we have never published sort
Of biography of Henry Clay Pats-neyer
had thought of doing such thing-and
perhaps never would have thought of it,
had not the renowned Pate himself put
the notion into our head. He must have
gotten wind of the biographies which We
published of the members of the last Le-
gislature. and taken it for granted that We
had stepped aside for the purpose Of pay
ing our respects to Pate-H. Clay Pate

Kansas, and call around there" but now

ships, and have the yellow foyer. and

snce with which be speaks Of Kansas no

Clay Pate, am one Of the notables of
Kansas !"-deserves some little consider
alton. Have not Jack Sheppard, and
Dick Turpin. and John A. Murrell. and
"sich like" their biographies? Then
why may not Henry Clay Pate have his?
The best part of the business is, that in
his letter he enclosed one cent postage
stamp. Now, whether he considers a
copy of our paper worth just that amount
Of post Office currency, or whether he in
tended that we should prepay the post
age on the copy Of the Chief containing
his biography, is mystery, which will
probably never be unveiled until the COM
ing of that time when the sea shall give
up its dead, when it shall be revealed
what became of Morgan, and when il
shall be ascertsined who struck old Mrs,
Patterson's son William. That postage
stamp does the business. We like mon
ey, and that stamp is the largest amount
we have had in many long. long day.
We will write him "sort of biography

we will mail paper, postage paid, to

Nor So FAsT.--A good joke has been
related to US, which occurred during the
late term of the Circuit Court, over In
Holt County. The Grand Jury had ended
their sitting, and had handed over their
indictments to the Clerk. when some one
proposed, IN jocular way. that the law
yers step up and pay of the indictments
against themselves before they were bro't
up. and thereby save costs. One lawyer,
wishing to show of. boldly stepped up
to the Clerk and reached out his haad,
as If for an indictment against him; when.
sure enough, and much to his sstonish-
ment and chagrin. the Clerk handed him
an indictment, for gambling The law
yer was suddenly taken III, and asked
leave of absence. amid the roars of the
by-standers. He viii probably not be SO
keen to pay of an indictment next time

THE OVERLAND MAIL RoUTEs-The Over
land Stage Route is unquestionably the
longest in the world. There are one hum
dred and seventy changes of horses between
San Francisco and st. Louis, and from four
to eightrhorse teams are required for each
stage. With every change of horses there is
change Of drivers. Accommodating con-
ductors accompany the stages from Los An
gelos, and are said to be very attentive to
the passengers, imparting to them much val
liable information of the country through
which they pass.
One of the greatest difficulties the COM
pany has had to contend with has been the
scarcity of water on, certain portions of the
road. Between San francisco and Los An
gelos water is abundant, but that on the Tu-
lare pisinsfs said to be strongly impregnated
with alkali. Thence for many hundred miles
it is with much difficulty that water can be
procured in sufficient quantities to meet the
requirements Of the stock. In some places
it is drawn over Is miles to the stations.
Twenty-eight hundred miles is long jour
ney to be performed in stage coach, yet
this route has been well patronized thus far.
The regularity and promptness with which
the mails are transported is remarkable.
Orleans is not oae-half as efficient as that
rendered by the Overland Company. 1t is
remarkable, too, considering that this route
is through vast region, uninhabited, ex-
cept by Indians, and many of these given to
plundering no serious accidents have as yet
happened to passengers or mails, though the
journey has been prosecuted by night as well
as by day. The novelty and excitement in
cident to such a journey will, no doubt, con-
tinue to secure to the Company considerable
patronage.
TIE establishment of this roti,e was due
to California, if not to the States east of the
Rocky Mountains, and, although it will con-
tinue to be heavy tax upon the National
Treasury, the facilities of the Company for
sustaining the enterprise should be con-
tinued, rather tnan curtaiied, until there is
railroad to the Pacific.
The opening of the route is destined to
promote emf grafton to The countries through
which it passes, and to carry the blessings
of civilization to those obscure regions now
trayersed by Indians and wild beasts. The
stations Of the Overland Company will, by
and-bye, be enabled to extend protection to
the settlers, and depots for supplying their
necessities could be established under the
immediate care of those having charge of
the Company's property.
The opening Of this road, then, may be
regarded as the first step towards the set
Element and civilization of the vast district
of country it traverses, and much credit is
due to those who have had charge of this
enterprise for the courage and skill which
they have displayed in carrying it into sue
cessful operation.-N. y. Express.

Hydro INcuBAToR.-1ti is truly said that
steam has created great revolutions, but
its application to hen raising probably
never entered the head of Fulton. OF all
the numerous articles on exhibition at the
Fair in this city, the one for Matching eggs
by steam especially recommends itself, not
only as of great utility to the denizens of the
city, but to the farmer and fowl raiser The
ingenuity displayed in its invention is strik-
ing, and it leaves one to wonder as to where
invention will stop. The machine on exhi-
bition is capable of Matching out two hun
dred and ifty-sx eggs in about twenty days,
and, if necessary, can be constructed to hatch
perfect army of the feathery kingdom.

DEATH OF HORACE MANS.-The telegraph
and the Overland MAIL probably, will have
told you, ere this, of the death of this emf
nent man, at Yellow Springs, Ohio, where he
was President of Antioch College. To the
citizens of Massachusetts, more possibly
than to those of any other State, was Mr.
Mann especially endeared-and because he
linked his destieies to her welfare and ad-
vancement. He was born in Franklin, Mass
in May, 1876, and consequently was in his
C4fll year. His father died early, and he was
left afpoor boy. His early education was de-
hcieft. By the'aid of a wandering school
master, he was fitted for Brown University,
1t the age of % After graduating, he was
appointed tutor of Greek and Latin in the
College. Pursuing the study of the law he
settled at Dedham, in 1926, and had a fine
practice Here he took hold of temperance
and education. In 1927, he entered the House
of Representatives; in 1884, removed to Bos-
ton, and the same year elected a State Sena-
tor. In 1886, he was chosen President of
the Senate. AS legislator he advocated the
abolition of imprisonment for debt; labored
to ameliorate the penal law +; assisted in the
improvement of prison discipline contribu-
ted much towards procuring the revision of
Tue Sttttc CtdlulcS; anu " HIS earnest eHOrIS
in behalf of the insane, did more than almost
any other man in the establishment of the
hospital at Worcester. He contributed ma
terialy towards the founding of the Board of
Education, Of which, in order to insure its
practical efficacy, be became. the first Secre-
tary. Giving up ucrativerractice, he was
elected to this most laborious pos: in 1887,
which he held till l849. In this office he won
that just fame which will keep his memory
bright so long lis the cause of education shall
be dear to Massachusetts After the death
of John Quincy Adams in lS48, Mr. Mann
was elected to Ell the vacant place in Con-
gress. He was twice reelected About six
years ago, be left Massachusetts to assume
the Presidency of Antioch College, Ohio, an
institution that was designed to lead the way
in affording higher grade of education to
the West. In this position he has labored
indefatigably, and with much success; a
heavy debt having recently been removed,
and everything apparently made ready for
prosperous career. Take him for all in all y
doubt if there is any man now living in the
State who is his equal in whole-souled, inde-
fatigable, persevering public spirit No one
State can have many such men-few can af-
ford to lose them. "Lord, keep his memory

THE COUNTY.

The following items are condensed from
the Democrat:
The dwelling house on Scott's ranch, near
Rock creek, about three miles from Nevada,
was consumed by fire last Sunday morning.
Mr.. Smith, who had recently purchased the
ranch of Mr.. Scott, and his daughter, a lit
tie girl about ten years old, were the only
occupants of the house. The fire was kim
died on the outside, evidently by an incen-
diary Between three and four o'clock on
Sunday morning, Mr.. Smith being awakened
by the noise of the flames, jumped from his
bod, called to his daughter, and ran out
doors and endeavored to extinguish the fire,
but WAS unable to do so for the lack Of suf-
~fcient water. He then went to look after
his daughter, and finding that she had not
been awakened, went to her room and car
ried her out The bedroom in which the
girl slept was lined with cloth, and she had
scarcely got out the door when the fire broke
through and the room was enveloped in
flames The out-buldings were saved by
the assistance of some miners who were
working in the neighborhood. The loss is
about ST. 900.
VIM. Gregory, Treasurer of the Jenny Lind
Co., at Hunts Hill, absconded from that
place on Saturday evening last, with about
$500 belonging to the company.
NEW DITcH.-The citizens of Chalk Bluff
and Red Dog have formed joint stock COM

pose of constructing ditch to bring water
into those places. The water will be taken
from the South Yuba Ditch, and viii be COM

From the Grass Valley National, of the
9th ult., we extract the following items:
FRUlT.-Mrs. Benefits Garden and 'Cr-
chard, in this town, in our opinion, is lit
tie ahead of any other in the country. Three
years ago few little switches, with one or
two leaves each, was all that showed an in
tention to make an orchard. Now there are
peaches, apples, plums, pears, grapes and
other fruits in delicious profusion. The Or
chard of Mrs. Bennett is a credit to our town,
and shows what the energy and taste Of a
lady can accomplish, in little time in this
fruit producing region. We noticed pear
tree there with two crops upon it, the first
just about to ripen and the second far enough
ahead to miss the frost
RIcH TAnrSGs-One ton of tailings, un-
concentrated, from the mill of Lee and Simp-
son, yielded by assay made in San Francisco,
