SCENE IN New YORK PRINTING OFFICE.
We were in the composing-rOom of the
New York World, on Tuesday, when the
Presidents Message was received and put
in type, and are free to confess that we
never before appreciated the possibilities of
types, press, ink and paper. Before the
Message was received all the preparations
had been made for putting it in type, in the
quickest possible time. The galleys were
arranged in line and divided by "slugs" in
to seventy-five sections, each one numbered
in its order. Seventy-1ve compositors,
with their sticks in hand, stood waiting for
their ''takes" under the direction of three
foremen. AT about twenty minutes before
one, reporter came running in from the
Office Of Collector Schell, with the Message.
in half a minute the EDITORS scissors were
at work dividing it into seventy-fve nearly
equal parts, which were numbered in their
order and passed out to the compositors in
waiting. Ia two minutes more all were
served and the Message was going up un-
der nimble fingers. Then the gable of the
printers gave place to the music of the types
clicking into the sticks. In about twenty
minutes more, the whole eight columns
stood up in the galleys, aud reflected more
credit on the printers than on the Presiden-
tial author. Then the foreman emptied it
into the form, locked them up, lowered
them away six stories below, into the en-
brace of the ten-cylindered monster that
stood waiting to multiply it by twenty
thousand to the hour. A turn of o screw,
stroke of hammer, shifting of bolt, and
round went the cylinder, with newspapers
flying off from it in every direction, more
than three hundred minute. In about
three-quartJrs Of an hour from the recep-
tion Of the document it was in the paper
and on the street, "fying all abroad" in
the hands of hundred newsboys, and con-
siderably in advance of all its New York
cotemporaries.-[EKchange

THE Me- PERCEs DIsPUTE.--A cores
pondent writes from Walla Walla to the
Portland Advertiser, as follows:
Our Nez Perces miners are fully in pos
session of their winter quarters on Clear
river, making preparations for an early at
tack upon the gold fields in that region as
soon as the weather permits. The govern
ment troops found it impractieable to fol.
low them further than the reservation bor-
der. Capt. Smith held lca Va with the
chiefs. assuring them that, in the spring, the
authorities would protect the tribe from any
infringement upon the rights, &c. Tn the
mean time, suppose ii is the intention Of
the Superintendent Of Indian Affairs of Or
egon to ascertain whether those miners are
really upon the reservation or not.

AN IRISH PATRIoT.-Terrence Bellew Nc
Manus, an Irish patriot, died at San Fran
cisco on the 18th lust, aged hfty-two years.
The Monitor sketching his life, says:
In 1876 be entered into the Irish move
ment. and in 184S, when matters came to
a climax. he joined the leaders Of the move
ment, and fell with them. In September Of
that year he was tried for high treason
along with O'Brien, Meagher and Donohue
and with them found guilty and sentenced
to death. The penalty was subsequently
commuted to transportation for life; and he
was accordingly deported in 1849, with his
co-suiferers, to the British penal colony of
Van Dieman's Land. He was put at work
in the cbaingang, and escaped in 1851, and
reached San Francisco, where he made bis
residence, broken in constitution, spirit and
fortune.

GREAT DISTRIBUTION,

The Bulletin correspondent Of the 9th Of October
in critcising the different Photographic Pictures at
the last State Fair says
''On the opposite wall hang the contributions Of
J. shew Of SAN Francisco. These also are most cred
table specimens Of the Photographic art Among
them is life.size head and bust Of Senator Broder
ck-probably the most perfect which has been made
Of the late Senator. Side by side with these hang
series of most wretched beis on the art contributed
bv some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to
set of to better advantage the productions Of more
skilful competitors.
As that paper don't give the name Of the artist who
send such pictures, it must be known that A.
IIEBERT, the Photographic Artist Of Broad street,
published in the papers of Nevada, that he was the
only one in this city who sent pictures to the State
Fair.

THE CAPTIVE CHLDREN.-It will be re-
membered, says the Portland Advertiser,
that 10 the massacre of immigrants to this
country, which occurred in August last, it
was feared that some little children had
been captured by the Indians. We are in
formed that two Snake Indians who have
Nez Perces wives, and speak their language
have been sent by Agent Cain into the
Snake country to ascertain Il any tidings
can be obtained of any children in the hands
of those indians II is believed they will
get the children. If there be any alive, and
bring them in.
The Indians intimated before they left,
that the snow would be so deep, that they
could not bring them in before spring, but
if they found them alive they promised TO
stay with them, until such time as taey
could return safely with the children. These
two Indians started about the middle of No
vember last, since which nothing has been
heard from them.

QUARTZ CUT QUARTz.-A party not a
thousand miles from 0roville, had quartz
ledge and mill which ii was found desirable
to dispose of. Procuring some really valu-
able quartz, in which the precious metal
was plainly visible, they announced their
willingness for parties desiring to purchase
to test the ledge. This was accepted by
"party of the second part" who proceeded
to prospect quartz procured for the occa-
sion, by the party of the first part first
aforesaid.n The party proposing to pur-
chase knew the quartz was valuable on
sight, but desiring to purchase cheap, were
not particularly anxious to produce rich
prospect, and deposited a tallow candle or
two ia the arastra. The grease prevented
amalgamation, and the rich quartz was
duly crushed, then ground into impalpabe
powder, but produced very diminutive
prospect. The ledge was pronounced COM
paratively valueless, and was purchased
cheap, by the prospecting "party of the
second part, aforesaid" OF course, the
purchasers found no more valuable quartz,
and were fiat broke in few months. The
''party of the first part" went into river
operation last summer and has not seen the
color of gold "since the date thereof"
They met in our streets the other day, and,
making a common purse of such fragments
of dimes as were to be found upon their
persons visited an open bar and renewed
amicable relatons.-[Butte Record.

RIcH DISCOVERY AT SILVER ClTY.-A
Washoe correspondent of the Bulletin thus
alludes to the newest and richest strike at
Silver City, about which there has been
considerable talk. 1t will be seen that the
claimants of good leads in Washoe have to
be men of pluck and revolvers:
"Four hundred feet from the road, on
the hill, espied a house-whicb looked
very much like fort, with from 80 to 40
men armed with guns, marching back and
forth. On my making an attempt to climb
the hill, the men stood to arms but a COM
panion of mine-a Colonel too-held up
bis white handkerchief, and we got up all
right. The claim is, undoubtedly, one Of
the richest discovered in Silver City. The
ledge is about four feet thick, with about
five feet of the pay streak. The rock is of
q sandy decomposed quartz, easily worked ;
and l am told it will average $500 to the
ton. Unfortunately, there are three or
four claimants to the ground and it is
more than can say to whom it belongs.

JAMES BUCHANAN gave the commissioners
from the South Carolina seceders hearing
before his Cabinet What would Jackson
or Washington have done under similar cir
cumstances? Suppose the Pennsylvania
Whisky Rebellionists had sent commission
ers to treat with Washington, what would
have been their treatment at his hands?
Or suppose the South Carolina Nullifers
had sent commissioners to treat with Old
Hickory, how would the old hero have act
ed The simple enunciation of these in-
quiries shows the Unreasonable difference
between Washington or Jackson and =
Bucbanan-between patriot and traitor

TIT For TAT.--The Democratic and Re

tual charge of each against the other, that
arms have been distributed to their poiill-

the Wide Awakes are arming, and the DEM
ocrat. denying the charge, says the Demo
cratic Clubs are arming. Whereupon both

WHAT WE ARE MADE OF.-The following

WHAT WE ARE MADE OF.-The following
is an article by Oliver Wendell Holiness
If the reader Of this paper lives another
year, his self-conscous principle will have
migrated from his present tenement to an-
other, the raw material even of which are
not yet put together. A portion of that
body which is to be, will ripen in the corn
of his next harvest. Another portion of his
future person he will purchase, or others
will purchase for him, headed up in the form
/ of certain barrels of potatoes. A third frac-
ton is yet to be gathered in the southern
rice field. The limbs with which he is then
to walk will be clad with flesh borrowed
from the tenements of many stalls and pas
lures, now unconscious of their doom.
The very organs of speech with which he
is to talk so wisely, plead eloquently, or
speak so effectively, must first serve his
humble brethren to bleat, to below, and for
all the varied utterance of bristled or feath-
cred barn.yard life. His bones themselves
are, to great extent in posse, and not essc
bag of phosphate lime, which he has Or
dered for his grounds contains large part
of w1at is to be his skeleton. And more
than all this, by far the greater part of his
body is nothing at all but water-the main
substance Of his scattered members is to be
looked for in the reservoir, in the running
streams, at the bottom of the well, in the
clouds that float over his head, or diauscd
among them all.
