INTERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1858.
SIR-Mr. John M. Buckley was recently appointed
by yourself Solicitor IN this oifice. knew at the
time OF his appointment but very little OF his charac
ter and up to the present time have met him but
upon comparatively few occasions.
The duties OF Solicitor can with propriety be exer
csed only in this ofice and under my own imme-
diate direction. Mr. Binckley has now been absent
from his desk for more than week, and employed
In the city OF New York without leave from me, and
as have understood from yourself entirely without
your knowledge.
which herewith transmit you-one signed by Mr..
Buckley himself, based, as It would seem, upon
other by one John d. McHenry an exrevenue inspect
or dismissed for cause, charging me with conspring
with others, including an oficer removed at my In
stance, and dister whose property was sold after
forfeiture under my direction, TO violate the laws
with the execution Of which, as commissioner am
especially charged am informed, too, that war
rant has been issued for my arrest and that Mr..
Buckley Ia conducting the proceedings before the
Commissioner who issued the warrant.
Mr. Bnckley's conduct Is censurable-First, be.
cause he Ii absent from the Office In the neglect Of
his duties and without my permission.
Second, because he has assumed duties which are
exclusively devolved by law upon the United states
Attorney for the southern district OF New York; and
Third, because he has been guilty Of Official mis-
conduct with reference to myself his superior officer
which demands condemnation.
Conscious Of absolute integrity In the discharge Of

A WRITER, in commenting upon the manner
in which the Chinese speak English, says ::
Pigeon English is most amusing dialect--a
sort of Celestial baby-talk; and one would think
that in the time Chinaman must take to learn
it he might as well be learning good English
But all foreigners in Hong Kong must acquire
it if they wish to be understood. If lady
would ask the price of any article in the shop,
she must inquire show muchee dollar? If
you would inquire for gentleman at his house,
it is necessary TO say to the servant, "Yo massy
him ben? 2" At dinner party given by an
English merchant in Canton, the host sending
an invitation to one of his guests to take glass
of sherry with him, the message, as delivered by
the Chinese waiter, became: Hi yah humber
one MASSEY topside TAT the head of the table,
"wantee catchee wine long he" Number one"
with them as with us expresses the superlative
degree of comparison When taught by the
missionaries of the one God, it is very difficult
for them to seize the idea tina. they are required
to exclude entirely from their faith the multi

ID METHUsELAH DROWNED IN THE
4 FhoeD. We make the following ex-
tracts from an article contributed to
the louisville Dem ocrat:
: Ali we know of the origin of the
! enrth or our race, we learn from
Revelations. The chronology used
by the civilized world is founded on
the data furnished as in the Bible.
We reckon the date of the food from
the dates found in the 9th chapter of
Genesis. We learn, from this chap
ter, that Adam lived, before his son
Seth, was born, 130 years; Seth
lived, before his son Enos was born,
los Years; Enos lived, before his son
), Cainan was born, 80 years; Cainan
lived, before his son Mahaialul was
1born, 40 years; Mahalalul lived, be-
fore his son Jared was born, 65
years; Jared lived. before his son
-Enoch was born, 162 years; Enoch
lived, before his son Methuselah
.'(6S7) was born, 65 years; Methuse-
/ lah lived, before his son Lamech
was born, 187 years; Lamech lived,
4 before his son Noah was born, 1872
years. Noah, hence, was born Ammo
Mundi 1866. is'l.
In Genesis, 7th chapter, 9th verse,
We are informed that Noah was 600
years old when the flood of water
was upon the earth. Add GOO years
lhis age) to 1856, the date of his
birth, and we have 1866. the date of
the food. We learn, from the 9th
verse, 9th chapter, of Genesis, that
/, .sall the days of Methuselah we're
$50 years, and he died" BY refer
ence to the foregoing table, it will be
seen that Methuselah was born Ammo
Mundi 687; add his age (969) to 687,
the date of his birth, and we have
1856, the time "when the flood of
waters was upon the earth" The
conclusion is as certain as figures,
that the Oldest man was drowned for

A school-master, after giving one
OF his pupils sound drubbing for
speaking bad grammar, sent him to
the other end of the room to inform
another boy that ile wished to speak
to him, and, at the same time, pro-
missed to repeat the dose if he spoke
to him ungrammatically. The
youngster, being quite satisfied with
what he got, determined to be exact,
and thus addressed his fellow-pupil
"A common substantive. of the mas
culine gender, singular number, no.

that sits perched upon the eminence

ADANIsH LEGEND. was during
the Swedish war of the seventeenth
century, that, after battle, in which
the enemy had been worsted, o
burgher of Flensbourg was about to
refresh himself with dranght of
beer from O wooden bottle, when he
heard the cry of o wounded Swede,
who, fixing his longing eyes on the
beverage, exclaimed:
sge"I am thirsty; give me drink"
Now, the burgher of Flensbourg
was o kind man, and, though he suf-
fered greatly himself, he replied, at
= once: '"Thy need is greater than
mine" and, kneeling down, beside
the wounded soldier, he poured the
liquor into his mouth. But the
treacherons Swede, taking dvantage
OF the unarmed state of his bene-
fantor, fired his pistol as he bent
down. wounding him in the shoulder.
Then. the burgher sprang upon his
legs, and Indignantly exclaimed:
3&s'Rascall / would have befriended
you, and you would have murdered
me in return; nowI win punish you.
Iwould have given you the whole
bottle, but yon shall have only half. -
And drinking one-half himself. he
gave the. remainder to his enemy.
When this reached the ears of King
Frederick III, he ordered the bur.
CHER into his presence and then
asked him: a,,afz ~.
~ f.Why did you not kill the rascnl9,'
"Sire, replied the man, 'Ticould
never slay q wounded enemy"
"Thou meritest to be a noble"
,eaid the King, and he caused him to
l5be created one at once and gave him
for his arms o wooden beer-bottle,
piatced with sc sc ssfsw, which oogni-
&ance was borne by his children till
after the family died out il: the per-
son OF maiden lady. his last sds-
scendant.

A JOKE ON CH1nLs.-We saw o
darkey on West Walnut street yes
terday, with about the worst case of
chills we ever heard of. His teeth
were chattering like q reaper under
full Roadway. He was eating a
watermelon on the curb-stone, and
some one told him that eating it
would give him the chills. He look
ed up, with his mouth half full, and
slice in each hand, and shivered
out: "Dis is de way I TUX de chills,
eating desc things. I got de chill on
me now, boss; and I likes water
millions better'n I duz de chils, kase

The railroad track-layer now in use
in California is said to operate sue
cessfully, and places the iron rails in
position ut the rate of one mile per
day, though some of the work has
been done at the rate of two miles in
twelve hours. The machine is O car
sixty feet long and ten feet wide. 1t
has small engine on board for han
ding the ties and rails. The ties are
carried on common freight cars be-
hind, and conveyed, by an endless
chain, over the top of the machine,
laid down in their places on the track,
and, when enough are laid, rail is
put down on each side, in q proper
position, and spiked down. The
track-layer then advances and keeps
on its work until the load of ties and
rails is exhausted, when other car
loads are brought. The machine is
driven ahead by locomotive, and it
Is stated the work is done so rapidly
that six men are required to wait on
it, but it is asserted that they do
more work than twice as many could
do by the old system, and that the
work is done quite as we'll. The
chief contractor on the Nallejo and
Sacramento Railroad, where the ma
chine is in use. gives it as his opinion
that when the machine is improved
by making few changes in the me-
thod of handling rails and ties, it will
be able to put down five or six miles
per day.

Advices from Panama state that O
little attempt has been made, in the
Province of Chiriqui, to overthrow
the present dictatorship. An officer,
at the head of seventy men, quickly
quelled the revolt; but, as "whole-
some restraint" upon the inhabit-
ants of the place, the soldiers were
permitted to despoil the women of
their cheap jewelry and embroidered
petticoats. Such soldiers ought to
have the pantaloons stripped off
them, and be made to fight in their
stolen petticoats the rest of their
unchivalric lives.
