WILD REVENGE. ,ul

The Celtic legendt, like the Celtic
language, though deficient in terms of
art and refinement, are peculiarly rich
in the expression of the passions
Joy, grief, fear, love, hatred, and re-
venge, glow through many IN impas-
stoned strain which still fingers by its
original wild locality. On the shores
of Null a crag is pointed out, over
hanging the sea, concerning which
there is the following tradition, which
we have thought would form no bad
subject for the painter, or even the
poet:-"Some centuries since, the
Chief of the district, Maclean of Loch.
buy, had grand hunting excursion.
To grace the festivity, his lady atten-
ded, with her only child, an infant
then in her nurses arms. The deer
driven by the hounds, and hemmed in
by surrounding rocks, flew to = mar
row pass the only outlet they could
fiud. Here the Chief had placed one
of his men to guard the deer from pas
(sing: but the animals rushed with such
|impetuosity, that the poor forester
could not Withstand them. In the
rage of the moment, Maclean threat
ened the man with instant death, but
his punishment was committed to =
whipping or scourging in the face Of
his clan, which these feudal times
considered a degraded punishment, fit
ouly for the lowest of menials and the
worst of crimes. The clansman burn
ed with anger and fierce revenge.
He rushed forward, plucked the ten
der infant, the heir of Lochbuy, from
the arms Of the nurse, and bounding
to the rocks in moment stood on an
almost inaccessible cliff projecting
over the water. The screams of the
agonized mother and Chief at the aw>
full jeopardy in which their only child
was placed, may easily be conceived
Maclean implored the man to give
him back his son, and expressed his
deep contrition for the degradation he
had in a moment of excitement inflict-
ed on his clansman. The other re-
Iplied that the only conditions on which
ne would consent to the restitution
we're, that Maclean himself should
bare his back to the cord, and be pub
|licly scourged as he had been In
despair, the Chief consented, saying hs
would submit to anything, if his child
were but restored. To the grief and
astonishment Of the clan, Maclean
bore this insult, and when it was COM
)pleted, begged that the clansman
might return from his perious situation
with the young Chief The man re-
garded him with smile Of demoniac
revenge, and lifting high the child
in the air, plunged with him into the
abyss below, The eea closed over
them, and neither,it is said, never
emerged from the tempestuous whirl-
pools and basaltic caverns that yawned
around them, and still threaten the
inexperienced navigator on the shores

POLICY IN CHINA THE
BEST.

BEST.
We see in the success Of the u. S
mission to China, complete condemn
alton Of our own conduct, and, unable
to conceal or deny the fact, the defend
ers of the Bruce system ofnegotiatior
endeavor to account for it by offensive
ly imputing to the American gov
ernment and the American minister q
humiliating submission to the insulting
demands of the Chinese. OF course
they don't believe this thing; but it i.
hoped in this way to weaken the worm
wood Of our defeat at the Peiho
reckless of the insult such a statemen,
involves to the United States govern
ment and people. That government
we should all pretty well know, by
this time, is not in the habit of tamely
submitting to insult or injury from
any other power. 1t is not 50 long
since we ourselves had good proof o1
this, and the ignominous dismissal Of
Mr.. Champion, by the Washington
Cabinet, might have suggested the
wisdom OF saying nothing about sub
mitting 10 insult or about American
humiliation.
No power in Europe would dare to
offer offence or insult to the Western
Republic, for they well know it fears
them not and is ever ready to defend
its interest and vindicate its homo,
when either is menaced. What wretch.
ed stuff, therefore is this about Mr..
Ward, humiliating his country and
himself, by going to Pekin in the way
custom? The Americans, who know
how to make their rights respected by
strong governments, know also how to
respect the peculiaritiea, or even pred,
judioes Of weak ones. They know
that in China they have no right to in.

b@Mr Greeley, in a letter from Salt
Lake City, dated July IL, estimates the to-
tai number of emigrants now on the plains
and bound for California, at about thirty
thousand persons, with teams of oxen, mules,
horses, and loose cattle, amounting at the
start to little less than one hundred thou
sand head. Of these more than half are
working oxen. The emigration covers the
great trail for an extent of more than seven
hundred miles, or fully half the distance
from the settlement of Kansas to those Of
California west Of the Sierra Nevada.
