Pole DowN.-The tall flag staff over the
Western House was being taken down yes
terday on account of its having become
somewhat insecure when it slipped from the
ropes and pulieys aud came down with IA
crash. Falling with about one third of its
length over the edge Of the fiat roof, it broke
square off, and the broken part fell with a
loud noise upon the portico beneath. No
BODY was hurt, but general turnout of the
people on the lower part of D street was the
result.

The MAIL CoNrRAor-Postmaste Weller
OF San Francisco has received instructions
from Washington to deliver the mails of the
9th of this month, to the agents of Wander.
Oilt, in the event that Johnson's agents are
not ready TO receive them 1t appears that
while johnson entered into contract with
the Government to transTor the mails 10y the
way Of Nicaragua. from the lst of October,
(the present month,) Vanderbilt also made
contract with the Government, conditional
on the failure of johnson to carry out his
agreement 1t appears that the Post Office
Department has all along, had but little faith
in Johnson's expressed ability to carry out
his contract-hence the conditional contract
made with Vanderbilt, who in the event of
Johnson's failure, will carry the mails by the
way of Nj caeagua or Panama, whichever he
may choose.

They were soon carried by the strong current
into the rapids, and were last seen above the
Tree Sisters" The wind was blowing
gale at the time, and the efforts which were
commenced for their resue could not be com,
pleted before they were hopelessly engufed
in the fatal waters of the rapids. Rosseau

GRAVE MISTAKE CoRREcTED.-A cores
pondent of the st. Louis Republican, writing
from Fort Gibson, Cherokee Nation, corrects
an error which was thrown into circulation
some time ago, by Hon. F. p Blair Jr., who
asserted. in order to please his Boston au-
dienee, that there was no prejudice of color
existing among the Indians towards the ne
gro, but that they were on terms of social
equality. lie says:
"Such is very far from being the case in
this country, the sentiments and laws of
whose people, alike revolt at and prohibit all
amalgamation between the two races A
member of Congress should be better inform.
ed than to make a statement so much at va.
rance with fact, and more particularly should
this have been the case with the gentleman
referred to, for, unless my information is at
fault, he himself is not very distantly related
to some fthe Indians embraced in his remarks
made in Boston, and the fame of one of whom
he might himself Justly covet. | allude to
Sequoyah, or George Gist, more commonly
called George Guess, the inventor of the
Cherokee Alphabet, and who was one of the
most remarkable men of his age He was
the son off Cherokee woman by Col VIM
Gist, of whom honorable mention is made in
the early history of Virginia, and to whom
Mr. Blair it is said, is related on his mater.
nal side. The negro slave is nowhere more
humanely treated than in the Cherokee Ma.
tion; but he is a slave STILL and does not en-
joy an equality Of rights with the Indian So
cial or political"
The correspondent of the st. Louis Repub.
lican is very correct in his observations. The
editor of this paper knows a little about the
Cherokees himself. AS to Geooge Guess, he
was one of the greatest natural men that God
ever made He built up written language
for the Cherokees, without, himself, being
able to speak word of any other tongue.

The Express. alluding to the fact that a
man, under sentence. and left to his parole Of

"Honest Man Abominable fool !"
Honest men may be abominable fools, in
the estimation of the Express. but, thank God,
there are those who entertain a different opin.
ion. Even the poor offender against the
peace and good order of the community, the
poor beast of drunkard, alluded to by the
Express as an "honest man and an abomina-
Lle fool had honor enough in him not to be.

Down on DUGLAs IN ARKANsAs.-The Fay
etteville Arkansian, leading Lecompton pa
per in Arkansas, severely denounces Douglas,
and thereby shows its utter ignorance of his
true character. Iustead of regarding him, as
the people regard him here, and as he should
be regarded as conscientious and enlight
ened Statesman, far above the petty tricks of
the demagogue the Fayetteville Arkansan
speaks of him as the bold and unprncipled
Douglas AS a specimen of the style in
which that able but highly prejudiced paper
speaks of him, we give the following extract
from one of its editorials. After making the
enormous misstatement that Walker and Stan
ton took the POSITIONS which they did in
Kansas. in order to curry favor with the Free
State Men, it proceeds us follows -
But it was for the bold and unprincipled
Douglas to monopolize all the supposed ad-
vantages of this platform He gradually
sezed upon Walker and Stantons capital and
unceremoniously crowded them off the boards
They have gone down whittier all disorganz
ers eventually go; and Donglas is the head
and front Of the great disOrganizatiOn of the
day"
We pity the prejudiees of the Fire Eating
Arkansian, Zone of whose editors we know
well as a gentleman of ability and integrity
and we can only say that if Douglas isindeed
great disorganizer," he disorganizes only
when organization ceases to be based upon
the old time honored principles of the Demo-
cratic Party.

A DEsoLATE CoUNTRY.-A correspondent of
the Bulletin, writing from Lower California,
speaks as follows of the region from San Ro-
man to San Quentin:
The road from San Roman to San Quentin,
distance about 25 miles is entirely along the
sea shore and nothing can be more desolate.
There is not tree to be seen, nor any verdure
whatever. Even donkey would be dis
heartened if turned loose on such plane,
and obliged to pick up his living there The
nearest Salinas is about three miles from the
wharf or landing place, and the road hil.y
and sandy. In amy other country but Mexi-
co railroad ora plank road would soon be
constructed, to transport the salt from the
mines to the landing, as the cost at present
of getting it hauled is three times that of
getting it out of the salinas. The great ex.
pense of hauling is the feed for oxen which
has either to be shipped there from San Fran
cisco, or raised in San Ramon CT Santo Do
mingo, there being no such thing as browsing
or pasturing in that locality.

The FAMOUS QUAKERs-Robert Lindsey
and wife, the famous Quakers sent out by the
Society of Friends in England, arrived in this
city yesterday. They are bound for the
Northern Mines, having held meetingsin San
Francisco and Sacramento and in the South
ern counties. They design visiting the State
of Oregon and Washington Territory. Their
mode of preaching is singular to those unac-
customed to it, They wait until the spirit
moves them," that is until they take the no.
tion and then either the man or the woman
speaks, as the case may happen.
Mr.. Lindsey is venerable looking old
gentleman, of about 60, partly bald, quite
stout, and of a very benignant countenance.
His wife is a hale and hearty looking old la
dy, with very pleasant expression, plainly
dressed, and wears a neat and tidy white cap.
We saw them both at table, and they seemed
to enjoy their meal considerably, as people
of good eonsciences invariably do
They come from Yorkshire, England and
are sent out by the Society of Friends to con
vert all Christendom to the Quaker faith.-
We have not learned whether they intend to
preach to the Marysvillains or not.

Negro InsnrroctIon.

A gang of negroes, on the night of the
Goth, in Bolivar, Missouri made a sudden
and desperate attack upon party of white
men at that place with rocks &c. The
whites resisted and drove the negroes to the
woods. Fire arms were used on both
sides. One negro was dangerously wounded.
a vigilance committee was formed by the
whites. A mounted company went into
ers, who were severely punished. At last
accounts the excitement was subsiding, but
all white men in the neighborhood were
under arms.
