Can't Edward : Fast. late of the United
States Army. has recently spent some time
in Alaska. and has returned with a rare col
lection af antiquities. They are represented
as mysterious and highly interestinr. Going
back into 1he country, Capt. Fast discovered
In tie possession Of some Of tie old families
Of Alaska. the most curious relics OF their
great ancestors, handed down from tie twI-
light times. These were preserved with the
same care as TCdigrees. coats of mail, drink
in- horns and other venerable articles in
English or continental families. No heir
looms. 50 ancient, can he found but in rare
instances emong families on the Atlantic
coast OF the United States from which cir
cumstance we infer that the Alaskiars are of
rather b.uer blood than ourselves, and pay
more homage than we d to the shades of
their progenitors. Money. however. is very
scarce in Alaska. and there, as everywhere
else. it viii buy about everything so that
Capt. Fast had little trouble in gathering IN
these rtvcrtd relies bv the buShel full. As
eertaiuiug that still finer antiquities were
buried in the old Alaskan graves, Capt. Fast
did not allow his superstition to Overawe his
scientific zeal, but proceeded to lay open the
ancient burial places, and appropriate the
odd things hidden away there. This work
was best done by proxy and on the sly; for
the AlaSkians respect cemeteries rs well as
We do Those humbugS, the medicine men,
and other natives. were hired by the Captain
to Gespoil the graves, and far and wide there
was general resurrection of strange old

the antiquities are suits of armor made OF

nondescripts. half beast and half human.

to stumble on in Alaska is the wooden helmet.

the head and the two parts are tied up with
leather strings These helmets are plumed
with the heavy hair of the sea COW. The
original Aaskians were a fighting race that
is clear. They understood the art of forging
iron "a lost art among their degenerate de-
scendants or successors) and made serviceable
IRON swords two and half feet to three feet
long. These swords were adapted for heavy

they much resemble in breadth, heayiness

There are gree many unreconstructed

voters-but the discontented spirits are more
quiet now; and all good citizens indulge in

A large food of eastern and northern i'm
migration il still pouring into the state.
Many of these immigrants bring means to
assist in opening the vast mineral resources
of this region, or to start mechanical and
manufacturing operations, which will greatly
benefit the whole population. Some iron and
lead mines are now being opened near this
place. that promise first rate, and the music
of the frst-class steam grst mill lately put

a capacity to make from fifty to one hundred
barrels of the choicest flour per day, sounds

We have had an excellent fall. The weather
being warm and suitable for outdoor work,
has been well improved. We have had two
falls of snow, since Dec. 9th, of about ten
inches One laid on about ten days, with the
coldest weather for thirty years in December,
by the Journal kept in St. Louis. Their

The climate is generally delightful in this

The South Pacific Railroad by here, Is be-
ing pushed on towards the Indian nation and
California.
Our city was disgraced, a few weeks since,
by shooting affray, something similar to
the Richmond affair in Virginia. \ Mr.
Logan, relative Of the member Of Congress
by that name, armed himself with a carbine
in room over the post-oiicc, and shot his
victim on the opposite sidewalk, with inten.
to Kill. The ball passed through the lower
jaw on both sides, and cut the tongue partly
off, but he IS still alive and will probably
recover. Domestic troubles was the provo
cation. Such cases are, however, growing
mo1e rare in the South and West than in
former years, and society IS becoming much
more civilized by the presence Of the eastern
and northern elements. The culprit was
promptly arrested and held to bal! for trial.
