A 'BAvARIAN IsRAELITE, writing to the

process of tho restoration Of the Jews to Pal
cstine, which is worthy of note. He says:
The regathering of the Jews is now begin
ming to take place. Not only many single
families emigrate to Palestine, but there have
been formed a number of societies iu almost
every land on this continent, to prepare an en-
igration on large scale, provided with all pos
sible means, money, implements, and tools of
every kind, to commence the cultivation Of
the long dcsolated land, at once, and with the
utmost vigor. There are men Of considerable
wealth among them, and not one without some
means enough at least to defay the expenses
of the journey and to purchase a plot Of ground.

May 18th, q preamble and series Of reso-

TRANSPORTATION OF SopIuN ANALoAN.
A few days since, q gentleman residing in
this city, and interested in mining opera
tons, left an order at Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S to purchase IN San Francisco one
small package Of sodium amalgam, and
forward the same to him at Polly's Sta
ton, on the line Of the Central Pacific
Railroad. This article has been much in
use for mining operations and has not
been generally supposed to be an article
which would be dangerous for transport
tation. but Of late there has been more
precautions taken than heretofore TO guard
against accidents. The house OF Wells,
Fargo s. Co., at San Francisco, in reply to
the above mentioned order, instructed its
agent here TO say that it declined filling it,
for the reason that the article was looked
upon as dangerous. It was added. also,
that English steamers refused to carry it
on account. as is stated, Of its explosive
qualities.
Sodium amalgam is a mixture Of sodium
and quicksilver. Sodium itself is a yell
lowish. white metallic element, soft like
wax and lighter than water. 1t is COM
pletely liquid at 1874 degrees and volatil-
ICES at a bright red heat. When a globule
of sodium is thrown upon water it de-
composes it rapidly with the evolution oil

sufficient, as with potassium, to infame
the gas unless the water is hot, or is
thickened with gum. 30 as to check the

CAPTURE OF a NOTED GUBRBILLA.-A
fellow named Wethers, who, with two
others, one of whom was killed recent
ly, have kept the people in and around
Shelbyyille, Kentucky, in terror of them
for some days past, was caught on
Wednesday last under rather disparag-
ing circumstances for q bold bandit.
Wethers had stopped at mill and one
Of The prOprietOrs got 10 talking with
him, during which conversation the
cnaracr-r at the visitor was discovered.
The miller looked about for some weap-
on to attack THE guerrilla but found
none--his gun being standing near but
unloaded. At last lifting the weapon he
inquired how such things were loaded,
when WetheTs thoughtlessly handed him
cartridge, and showed him how to
place it in the gun. Instantly the mil
Ter placed the muzzle at Wethers' breast
and demanded his surrender. The rebel
highwaymau hesitated but moment,
when he gave up his pistol and knife,
and was heavily guarded to Louisville.

who, fearing there might be trouble Il
they entered that once raided town'

train, jumped of, and skedaddied for the
border By cross.lots.
A Fenian meeting was held IN Man
chester, \. H., Tuesday night, and
twelve hundred dollars were subscribed
on the spot, and a promise made to raise
and organize battalion right away,
4 large meeting was held in Buffalo,
Yesterday, and $1,000 were collected In
St. Louis and at other points large
meetings were held and great enthusl-
asm manifested. In one word, the Fe-
mans are mastering for war at all the
principal points-but owing to the al
fcultv Of concentrating in large bodies
with arms and supplies against the mil
itsrv obstacles offered by our and the
Canadian governments, the larger the
number the more disastrous must be the
failure. and the greater the enthusiasm
the greater the downfall Of all Fenar
hopes. 49,.

The Ridgeyvay Defeat.
A CANADIAN ACCOUNT.

A Toronto dispatch to the Montreal
Herald of Monday, dated one O'Clock, a.
m, says:
Our dead and wounded arrived three
hours ago-a number by the City OF To-
ronto and some by the Great Western
train. About 10000 people received
them at the dock, and the bells OF the
CITY tolled, while hearses carried the DO
dies to their homes. TIE wounded are
at their homes and in the general hospl-
tai. with one exception. The wounds
are principally in the legs.
! [ have lust taken an account OF the
fight from one Of the wounded. lie says
| the battle commenced at $50 on FRIDAY
morning. The fight lasted two hours, }
miles from Ridgeway. The queens
Own sent out skirmishers, who were
met and driven back, but the remains
were Immediately chased for three miles,
when the ammunition gave out. The
Fenians then cried cavalry, cavalry; "
and Booker ordered his men into square
to receive the cavalry, when the Fenians
sent d raking fire into the square, ana
Booker, seeing that he had been sold
gave orders for retreat, followed by
another order to retreat on the double
quick. They were then ordered to
make the best of their way to Port Col
r borne.
Before this occurred, the 10th (Ham'
ilton) Battalion came up and maintained
: the fight for half an hour, but were out
of ammunition.
e The Queens Own, the 18th Battalion
. and the Welland Battery are still at Por
t Colborne.
: The 10th and Attn Regiments and tn
= Grey Battery are in possession OF For
s Erie.
t Six hundred Fenians surrendered II
q the U. s. steamer Michigan, 200 escaped
e and IS are in our hands.
: There was great want OF food anon;
Y the volunteers, and the latter complain
IS bitterly.
: No one can tell why Col Peacock wa
It so slow in moving to their support, an
" there is no doubt but that our gallan
1t boys were butchered.
r The Fenians were behind a doubl
e. snake-fence, and when they retreate
er they had only two rounds Of ammun
J. ton.
le Gen. Napier seems to have known yer
little of what he was doing, and onl
give you what is the sentiment on tn
D. streets tonight, when l say that no yer
B. religious expressions are used about Il
way things worked.
Booker was so fully conscious OF Ii
bupgle he had made, that he has sent
e, mis- resignation.
D. One of the wounded men says TIL
ed Booker acted the part Of coward, an
ed salloped sway at the head Of his me
ct followed by his corps, leaving the ga
d. laut Queens Own to stand the brunt
le- the fight.
Is l should mention that SO famisht
ty were our men, who left without the
is breakfasts, that young Tempest WI
De. found dead on the field, with some whe
nd and grass, which he had been chewil
ri to allay hunger.

ing his men into action without q
support, and finally for galloping aw
