A NUT FOR THE SANANs TO CEAcK-On the
5th day of April, curious and unsccountable
circumstance occurred at the ranch CT Mr.. Ker.
shaw, near Saucelito. A Portuguese in his EN-
ploy, named Frarroe, had harnessed up span Of
horses to attach to plow. He went into the
house for moment, aud while insile be heard
sound like something falling heavily. On run
ming out he found both of his horses lying on the
ground-one Of them dead and the other nearly
so. While engaged with the one which was alive,
he va. suddenly taken i'll and fell senseless, and
was in that condition when discovered. He was
taken in the house, put to bed, and remained
helpless for over a week, but is uow fully recov-
cred The horse which was net killed instantly
lived about two hours. The above facts are
fully corroborated and authenticated by many
persons in that neishborhood. The day was
perfectly fne, and not cloud in the sky. Wha,

these dreadful troubles with which our coun-

A PARALLEL To OUR owN REBELLIoN-In
1857, England entered upon str, gle in many
points like our own of to day. Macaulay, de-
scribng the condition OF the State at the begin
ming of that great and last English revolution,
speaks of the avowed hostility OF nom Jurors, and
the more dangerous hostility of traitors, who
were ready 10 take any oath, and whom no oath
could bind. He says: Her secret enemies
commanded her fleets and armies, were in charge
OF her arsenals, ministered at her alters, taught
at her universities, swarmed in her public offices,
sat in her Parliament, bowed and iswned in the
bedchamoer of her king"

Of the lith Regiment, man who carries on

to enlist. He said he could leave the blacksmith

enlisted. The IeXi day down comes the Oldest

And the Oldest son went it. But the day follow
ing John made his appe1race. He felt lonesome,
and had shut up the shop. The father remon-
strated, but the boy would enlist, and enlist
he did.
Now the old gentleman had two more sons who
worked the farm" near Flushing. The military
fever seems to have run in the family, for no
sooner had the father and two older brothers Ell.
listed than the younger sons came in for u like
purpose. The paterfamilias was man of few
words, but he said that be "woud'nt stand this

old man was somewhat puzzled to know what

NAVY DEPERTMENT, July 1

NAVY DEPERTMEST, July 4.
r. When the change of administration
took place, in March last, the Navy Department
was organized on a peace establishment. Such
vessels as were in condition for service were
chiefly on distant stations, and those which con.
stituted the home squadron were most of them
in the Gulf OF Mexico. Congress had adjourned
without making provision tor any extraordinary
emergency, and the appropriations for naval pur-
poses indicated that only ordinary current expen-
ses were anticipated.
Extraordinary events which have since trans
pired have called for extraordinary action on the
part OF the government, demanding a large aug
mentation of the naval force, and the recall of
almost the whole of cur foreign squadron Tor
service on our own coasts.
The total number Of vessels in the navy, Of
all classes, on the 4th of March, was ninety, car
rying, or designed TO carry, about 2, tl5 guns.
Excluding vessels on the stocks, those unfn-
ished those used as stationary store ships, and
those considered inexpedent to repair, the avail

prevailed among the officers, many of whom, oc-

symptoms of that infdeli,y which has diShcnored
