THE GENIUS OF NAPOLEON IN A SERGEANT
How COMPANY WAS SAvED-We have been in
formed by an officer Of the o. s. Army of most
remarkable instance Of Ingenuity and presence
of mind in e sergeant of the army, which occur
red few weeks ago, by which he saved his
own life and that of his party
sergeant with about twenty-five soldiers
had been sent out some miles from Fort Defiance,
New Mexico, to guard some stock which were
sent to graze when Unexpectedly they found
that the party was surrounded by about four
hundred hostile Navajo Indians The brave
and skillful sergeant took position on an emf
nence, and by volley from the long shooting
rifles of his party at first drove eff the savages,
who. however, soon rallied, and were preparing
to storm the small party on all sides. The SER
geant, IN taxing his brain for an expedient by
which to convey intelligence of the desperate
peril IN which his party was placed, took sim
gle dog which had accompanied the party, fast
ening to his collar note written with pencil,
informing the commander at the fort of his stu
alton, took tin cup in which he put some peb-
bles, which was confined with piece of cloth
over the top, fastened it with a string to the
dogs tail, spit some tobacco juice into his fun
dament, and started the dog loose, knowing
that he would in his alright, run to the fort
He dashed with his greatest speed to Fort De-
nance the note was discovered and read
Straightway party was sent to the rescue, and
arrived just IN time to save the lives of the
whole party. This sergeant Justly merits a
commission, which, we hope, will be awarded
him by the President.--KentHcEgF Iaq.

A Renaissance OF ANDREW JAoEsoy-The
Charleston Mercury, at the close of long re-
view OF " Parton's Life Of General Jackson
gives the following Renaissance -
We had the fortune to have near and dear
relatives, whose sojourn in Lancaster District at
early period in Tennessee and elsewhere in
the West, made them perfectly intimate with
Andrew jackson. One of them accompanied
him (under Coffee in the famous expedition in
to the Greek country, when the volunteers of
tennessee were called out to avenge the mas
sacre of Fort Minis. How would they be con-
founded to hear, now, that Old Hickory was not
South Carolinian One Of them knew him
well, and when, in 1924, Jackson was very much
derided as the Presidential canddate-derded
and denounced in South Carolina, as bully and
brute, Ignorant and prohigate-we remember to
have called the attention of this old friend and
venerable relative to the charges. Are these
things trueF we asked in the innocence of our
boyhood, not knowing the peculiar virtues of
partisan patriotism in the art of lying.
True said the old man. Reflect for YOUR
self, my son Andrew jackson has filled every
situation, civil and military, known to our coun-
try, and in every situation has always proved
himself the best of men. How should such a
man be other than greatP
" lie added lie is a man of terrible passions,
ouC ne can keep them IN subsection; and the
passions are the powers by which the virtues
execute their duties. Gen. Washington was a
man OF terrible passions, too, and, like Jackson,
is reported to have sworn like trooper l have
read all the lives of Washington, and the i'm
preston made upon me, by my knowledge of
Jackson is, that he was more closely modelled
upon the character of Washington-and with
out knowing it-than any living man. And
their lives have not been dissimilar This was
years before Jackson was President.

NARROW EsoAPE.-On the Goth of April the
Hon. Fayette McMullen, Ex-Governor Of wash
ington Territory, while riding on horseback and
approaching the railroad at Marion, Va. discov-
cred train near at hand, and running very ra-
pidly He at once checked his horse; but the
animal becoming frightened, dashed off, and
reached the track where the road crosses at the
very moment the approaching train got to that
point. The horse was run over and instantly
killed. and McMullen was thrown on the cow
catcher, where he remained for some moments.
until the engineer was able to reach him, and
succeeded in dragging him on the engine, the
train all the while being in rapid motion. The
most singular part of the whole transaction was
the fact that the Governor was not injured in
the slightest degree.

Is THIS NOT LIBELoUs ?-The late State Legis-
lature of New York must have been very cor
rupt, otherwise the newspapers are guilty CT the
commission of outrageous libels upon that bo-
dy. Why didn't the Legislature of that State
pass Wheelers libel law The Troy Times,
Republican organ-the New York Legislature
was Republican-publishes what it calls the
expression of the press in condemnation of the
larcenous acts of the Legislature. Hear "The
unanimity with which that body of trafficng
plunderers is denounced by the free press of the
State, and held up to the scorn of an outraged
people, affords an assurance that dishonest re-
representatives. will be held to just accountable
ity for their misdeeds The Republican press,
with only here and there disgraceful exception,
is earnest and unsparing in its denunciation of
the thieves lobby and of their representative
tools who have so shamelessly betrayed the
trusts of a coniding people,"

CONDITION OF UrAH.-A Washington dispatch
of May ID, contains the following in regard to
the affairs in Utah:
"Goyernor Cummings has informed the Pre-
sident that Utah is in a condition of anarchy,
and some action is therefore necessary on the
part of the Government, to relieve the Territory
from present and impending evil He alludes to
bands of desperadoes, whose conduct renders
the tenure of life and liberty uncertain and re-
quests either that Judges will be sent out in
place of those who have deserted Utah, or au-
thorize the Probate Courts to exercise the pow
ers claimed by them, and granted by the Leg
islative Assembly, oradopt some means of safety
He requests that 500 soldiers be retained there,
as the withdrawal of the entire army would be
injurious and unjust.

PORCELAIN PHoToGRAPHs.-Fo many years
past the most ingenious photographers in Eng
land have been endeavoring to discover some
process whereby vignettes, portraits, ETC., could
be transferred to porcelain surfaces. Their eff
forts signally failed, notwithstanding the inge-
nuity of Mr.. Fox Talbot and Mr.. Wedgewood,
each of whom devoted long course of study to
attain the desired object. Photography upon
porcelain is, nevertheless, fixed fact, the result
of American genius and perseverance, which
accomplished all the Europeans desired and ex-
ceeded their most sanguine anticipations, by the
production of Photographic transfer not only
on plain, but on an uneven surface thus rem
dering this new modification of art applicable to
the most elaborate ornamentations of vases, tea
sets, cups, and porcelain ware of every descrip-

Political Rejoicing.

The enemies of the man Stephen A. Douglas
are just now rejoicing exceedingly. Certain
Democrats who sympathize with Yancey and
his disunion seeding crowd, say with a
chuckle, that one thing is certain, let the plat
form be what it may, Douglas cannot get the
nomination. These same individuals at the
same time have the effrontary to be actuated by
love of principles and not hatred to men The
rejoicing of these Yarcey-sympathizng Demo-
Gratis is at caught up by their present allies,
the negropholsts or Republicans allies, for
the reason that neither can see aught good in
make the Presidential fight on that question:
who, with loud and jeering laughter, cry, " Ho,
no, no ha, ha, hal Douglas is defeated, what
ever may happen, and, in consequence, the cleo
ton of our candidate is sure. Hear the S. F.
Times, paper so perfectly black that charcoal
will make white mark upon its face:
The only fear that any Republicans have felt
in regard to this Convention, has been, thai
Douglas might be nominated. We have never
participated in this fear for we did not believe
that the South would allow such result. They
have not. They hove defeated the hopes of the
q little giant" He is out of the field for this
canvass. Whatever may be done at Baltimore
or Washington, it is certain that Douglas is a
"dead cock in the pit" The party is essen
tally broken up. 1t cannot rely on any man.
The Republicans, everywhere, felt that if any
body was nominated but Douglas, easy vic
tory was before them. But they did not hope
for so fortunate a termination for them, as that
ha uOul1 hra L IN 4
make no nomination. This secures the election
of Republican, and that Republican will be
without doubt, VIM. Ii. Seward.
We congratulate the Yancey- sympa-
thisers upon the possession of such ardent and
confident allies as they find in the persons Of
the California Black Republicans

Late News from Japan.

The Prince Goitairo (who was at the head Of
the present Japanese Government was assassi-
mated on the i5th of March. He was going from
his house to the palace with his train, when he
was attacked by fourteen Japanese, dressed as
travellers. His retinue had six killed, and sew.
eral wounded.
One of the assassins, who was wounded, and
could not escape, had his head cut off by his
comrades, and carried off, to prevent being re-
cognized.
Two of the assassns were princes of high
rank, and had the privilege given them of cut
ting open their own abdomens with a sword,
thereby preventing their property being confis-
Gated, and saving their families from the dis
grace which would entail upon them had they
been beheaded.
Thirty people were beheaded on the 1st of
April, having been interested in the affair."
Since the death of old Tycoon, under whose
reign the treaty was made, there has been an
entire change in the government, the present
dynasty being opposed to foreign intercourse,
and throwing every obstacle in the way to u-
terrupt trade and commerce that they possibly
can do without violating the treaty
The opposition, at the head OF which is Prince
Meto is reported being as strong as the pre-
sent Government, and an instruction is mo-
mentariy expected. Guard houses, with stands
of arms, are numerous. both in the towns and
along the road to Jeddo
10 Yokuhama, the streets ale barricaded at
the entrance and crossings, and no one is per-
mitted to cross after dark without being exam
ined by the police. All foreigners are requested
not to go out after dark, but in case they should
to send for a policeman to accompany them,
carrying lantern. Foreigners are advised by
their respective Consuls to go armed at all
| times.
The Government only exchanges $40 per day
to resident or ship-master, 81 to a mate and
81 to seaman or servant Our money will not
pass except at a large discount Itzebus are
worth from 10 to 20 per cent premium. As
soon as they find there is large demand for an
article, Government increases the tariff-thus
oil, formerly per ce t. duty, is now 80, and
copper and many other articles the same other
articles, not wanted by foreigners, the duty is
taken off altogether. Lacquered ware is 100
per cent. higher than it was four months since,
and oil, teas, and almost everything is from SO
to rs per cent. higher than they were when the

TIRED OF 1.-THE progress of the Covode in
vestigation discloses more than the black in
triguers bargained for, aud makes them heartily
sick of the whole matter. The n. Y. Tribune
says;
The fact may as well be stated, that the
whole business of developing political scandal
by legislative enactments, has been already
about run into the ground. Intelligent, fair
minded men are growing sick of it. Insofar as
public functionaries and other recipients ofpub-
lie money are required to give an account of
their dealings with the treasury, we uphold the
claim to the fullest extent. Even this may be
abused; but it is statutory conservative power.
and we rejoice in seeing it fearlessly, searching
lytsexercised. But dragging private citizens, or
those who were private citizens at the time their
actions are attempted to be investigated, is all
wrong.

AMERICAN FISHERIES IN THE PACIFIC.-Wash-
ington Territory is particularly fortunate in its
facilities for fishing. 1t has ZOO miles of coast
line within three degrees of latitude, showing
wonderful richness in isles and inlets. The
great natural canals of Hood and Puget-one a
hundred and the other ninety miles long-reach
into the heart of the Territory, and both are
navigabe for their entire length, though not
averaging more than mile or two in width
In these canals the cod, salmon and herring
abound, while in the Straits Of Fuca and off the
coast are the finest halibut in the world. We
know no reason to doubt that these fish can be
caught and cured as easily as similar labor is
performed in the Atlantic fisheries. There is a
small fishing bank about twenty miles off the
mouth of the Straits of Fuca, aud it has been
reported of late that large bank has been dis
covered about 100 miles to the southwest. In
these places the cod and halibut can be caught
with the greatest ease; and even now it is not
unusual for Indians to catch halibut to the value
of $50 to man in day, and it is business in
which they would willingly engage more ex-
extensively if it were not for the danger il 60
ing out to sea in their canoes.-AAa

TIE SAND CLOUDS OF THE DEsERr.-Frank
Soule, writing to the AAa, speaks of them
thus:
''This (the 9th inst has been day of fear
full winds. Clouds of snow have been hanging
on the mountain tops and scattering their bur-
dens down, and furious gusts and gales are
sweeping from the southwest across the forty
mile DESERT raising columns OF sand and dust To
the clouds. Some OF these must be at least
three thousand feet in hight above the desert,
and travel at great speed. Above the hills,
above the highest mountain tops, we see them at
the distance of thirty-ive to fifty miles, whirl-
ing upwards as if they would blot out sun and
sky, while the desert itself seems like an ocean
OF water, dashed into pillows Of foam. Pitiless,
indeed seem these galloping columns of sitting
dust and sand, and pitful indeed is the cUndi-
ton Of any poor creature, human or brute, who.
caught there, is obliged to endure, Or die, amid
the chilling and stranglng tempestn

MORE OF THE LATE INDIAN FIGHr-A private
letter from Carson Valley to John G. Fall, ESQ.,;
is published in the Marysville Democrat 1t is
dated May 10th. The following is an extract:
The late engagement with the Indians was
in reality no fight, but massacre-the majority
of the whites running away at the very start
many of them without firing a shot. A few
stood up to the fight manfully, and they, un-
fortunately, were killed, while the cowardly
wretches that ran away escaped. There was
no organization, no head, no nothing to the ex-
petition. 1t was shameful, and very disastrous,
of course, in its consequences. The few good
men that persisted were caught in bad company
All this, of course, has entirely unsettled every
kind of business, particularly the mining in
tereSt.

What Will Latham Do.

The standard editor seems to think that La
than, in order to avoid becoming &" the laughing
stock of the Black Republican urchins," must
join him in boiling the Baltimore nominations
unles the platform adopted at Charleston be
changed, SO as to pledge the party in favor of
Congressional Intervention. If that be true
then fear Mr.. Latham will consent to be
such laughing stock, for We find that. in his
great speech recently delivered in the Senate
he announces himself in opposition to any new
issues upon the subject, and declares himself
against interference by Congress for the protec-
ton of slavery in the Territories until actually
necessary Here is what he says on this point:
But fully agree with the majority ofmy col
leagues on this floor in the opinion that, if the
judiciary and executive authority of the country
do not possess the means TO insure adequate
protection to constitutional right into the Ter
rtories of the United States, if any Territorial
government should fail or refuse to provide the
necessary remedies for that purpose it will be
the duty of Congress to supply the deficiency
am willing to aid in the performance of that
duty whenever proper exigency arrives but
am utterly opposed to anticipating it, because |
have an abiding confidence in the LOYALTY and
patriotism of the people, and in the ultimate
good OF those who, however misled they may be
by professional agitators or by their own pas
slons, need only perceive whittier their doctrines
would carry them, to return at once to their al
legiance and to proper appreciation of their
obligations as citizens Of the United States.
Endorsing, as we do, these views of our
young Senator, we are persuaded that the Dem
ocracy of California will sustain him in pursu-
ing the course therein, whether the editor of the
Standard sees fit to " lead" that way or to bolt

EXPLORING ExPEDTicN.-The Secretary OF
War has ordered detachment of troops from
Fort Laramie, to accompany Capt. Reynolds
expedition to the head waters of the Missouri
and Yellowstone rivers. The object of this ex-
pedition IS to explore that vast region of eoun-
try, and ascertain how far the waters of those
rivers are navigable. 1t has been ascertained
by hunters who have frequented that country,
that, with a small expense in removing OBJ
structions, the Yellowstone could be made nav
gaole for light steamers for distance of sew
eral hundred miles, If such should be the fact,
the distance of land carriage in crossing the
continent might be materially diminished, be-
sides opening an inlet to the vast country bor-
dering on those rivers, and extending to tho
base Of the Rocky Mountains. The expedition
was to start soon as the weather should be
favorable.
