THE YtiriV-G WIDOW. She is modest, she is bashful, Free and eapy, but not bold— Like an apple, ripe and mellow, Not too young and not too old. Half inviting,half repulsion, Now advancing cod now shy. There is nii.-chief in her dimple, There ia due ger in her eye. She has studied human nature, She is schooled in all her art?, She has taken her diploma, Aa the mistress of all hearts. She can tell tlie very nionn'nt.. When lo aigh and when lo smile. Oh ! a maid is sometimes charming, But a widow all Un* while. You are sad ? How very serious Will her handsome (ace become. Are you aiigl \ t She if wrelelied, Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb. Are you mirthful ? Mow her laughter, Silver sounding, will ring out. She can lure, and catch, and play you, Aa the angler does the trout. Te old bachelorfl Q* Forty, Who have Brown fo cold and wise, Young Americana of Tweniy, Willi your lovelocks in your eye*, Ton may practise all ihe lessons Tannin "by Cupid since the fall, Bul 1 know a little widow, Who could win and lool you all. "Washington Tkriutory.—Dr. Coop cr, of Stevens' exploring expedition, makes the following notice of tbis territory in the Country Gentleman: ■'• The natural features of Washington Territory arc strikingly different throughout from those of a corresponding portion ofthe Atlantic coast, owing both to its mountainous character and peculiar products. To.a traveler approaching the coast by sea, the whole country appears mountainous, and densely clothed with dark green forests, from the water level to thermits of perpetual snow. Far above tbis, tower in indescribable majesty and beauty, the brilliant snowclad peaks ofthe Cascade range in strong relief against tlie deep blue sky, and seemingly close to the sea, although Mount St. Helens', the nearest, is one hundred miles inland. At sunset the softening mist which bangs over them becomes tinted with the most delicate hues, gradually changing through the shades of rose, purple and lilac, until in th moonlight they become liko monuments of shining silver. On nearing land, this noble scenery is found to be'"accompanied by a propo: tionately gigantic vegetation, and indeed, everything seems planned on a gigantic scale of twice the dimensions to which wc havo been accustomed. The Columbia, unequaled in grandeur even by the 'Father of Waters/ is bordered by lofty clitis and mountains, clothed from base to Bummit with perpetual verdurc,_ and supporting on almost every foot of surface, trees of astonishing magnitude.— At every bend constantly varying scenes ofthe wildest beauty burst upon the view, while the calm silence is often unbroken, save by the scream ofthe panther, or the shrill cry of the eagle soaring far overhead. The universal and gloomy forest soon becomes monotonous, and it is a relief to see the canoe gliding silently along, the log-cabin oftbe pioneer on the shores, or to hear the shrill whistle of the steamboat echoing and echoing, from bank to bank, and startling tbe savage inhabitants of the woods. Though few signs of inhabitants may be seen, there are usually a few yards back of the line of poplars that edge the river, large and fertile prairies, and farms well stocked with the products of the soil. On the smaller rivers a striking variety in scenery is observed, as in a few miles wc pass from the sandy sea beach through luxuriant meadows, upland prairies, and forests with all their different vegetation, until reaching the end of navigation wc find a mountain torrent, walled in'by precipitous sides, and falling in successive cascades for hundreds of feet. All this is seen within ten miles of the ocean, on the 'SCopalux river," as well as on some running into Puget Sound. Entering the Straits of Fuca thc scenery is quite different, but no less interesting. The calm blue waters of tbe sound lie placid as a lake in the basin formed by their steep shores, with an ever-varying outline of points and bays, and dotted with islands of every form and size.— Prairies are often visible to the water's edge, interspersed with evergreen forests, and an elevated plateau to the base of the rugged and snowy mountains that rise like walls on thc east and west. With all this magnificence there is not wanting scenery of a milder and more home-like aspect. The smooth prairies, dotted with groves of oaks, which in the distance look like orchards, seem so much like old farms that itis hard to resist the illusion that we are not in a land cultivated for hundreds of years, and adorned by the highest art, though thc luxuriant- and brilliant vegetation far excels any natural growth in the east. Nothing seems wanting but the presence of civilived man, though it must bc acknowledged tbat he oftener mars than improves the lovely face of nature. Tbc sca-beaeh, too, has peculiar attractions for one accustomed to live ir its vicinity. Its broad hard sand forms an excellent road, smooth and solid as tho iloor, on which arc often to be found objects of interest and value, free gifts from tlie domain of Neptune. The con* stant roar of the surf forms a pleasing relief to the silence ofthe surrounding forests, aud in solemn tones unceasingly it speaks of that Power who created all these things, 'whoso path is in the great waters, aud whose footsteps are not known.'''' Vicious.—To pernio in kissing a pretty black eyed girl, when she resolutely declares she wiabe you uot to. It looks I*.;; though you wouldn't take ber word. Election of TelpgrnpU Company Officers, nnd Tcie-ifi'mpti Matters. Yesterday, the 21st, the annual meeting cf the California State Telegraph Company waa held in this city, fur the election of oflicers for the ensuing year, Tbe reports of the retiring officers showed the'condition of tbe compauy to be satisfactory and flourishing. Abont five sixths ofall the stock waR represented, aud the following directors for the coming year elected on the first ballot : H. W Carpentier, J. ]\\. Moss, W. C. Ralston, F. MacCrellisb, and Lloyd Tevis, of San Francisco ; and James M. McDonald and J. M. Hubbard, ol Sacra- .'11(0. After the adjournment of the stockholders' meeting, tbe directors met and elected the following ollieers for the ensuing year : II. W. Carpentier, President; James Gamble, Superintendent; Geo* L. Ludd, Secretary ; R. E. Brewster, Treasurer. The lines of tbe Ccmpany, which comprise tbe Overland line and all the California lines, are in most excellent working order, and a large ame ol insulator*-*, wire, poles, etc. on hand, and paid for, to build additional lines in the spring, which will materially add to the earnings of the company. Quarterly dividends of one dollar per share are regularly paid from the pres 'tit earnings of the company, and with the lines projected, an additional income will be added. At the rate the stock is selling in the niarkett tbe dividends of tbe company are nearly equal to tweniy per cent, per annum, interest, wbich, for Calilornia. may be considered very good stock, especially as the dividends are paid in gold.—ilta.

He fought under Nelson at Copenhagen in tbe frigate Ariadne and on board the Mars, seventy* four at Trafalgar where be was wouuded in the leg. Ninety seven of bis comrades were killed outright in this action, besides tho?e who died afterwards of their wounds. He subsequently served at Genoa.-Flushing aud Gaeta, aud was present at the taking of many prizes aud minor engagements on the aea. Ou board cf hia present ship he bears au excellent meter, and wbat is remarkable is that, though 77 years of age, he is oue of the host look out men the ship. Capt. Evans has some time since kindly giveu directions which exempt bim from " _ aloft. The old man lelt the royal navy in 18357 nnd has siuce enjoyed a pension of Is. a day. He has a wife who is 03 years old, and four children living, out of twelve. It is believed he is the ouW existing instauce of a first class powder boy ol Trafalgar (October 21, 1805) still Berviug as an able seaman in 1863.

Che Best Essays, the Best Stories, The Best Poems. ular Contribute: A Paris letter says : The criminal prosecution against the young Due do Gram- mont Caderonsse for killing an Englishman and writer in Le Sprot ina duel, terminated, as I believe I mentioned, in an acquittal. But he has since been subjected to a civil suit, for compensation, by the mother of the deceased, who was almost entirely dependent on him. The case terminated yesterday, when the Court decided that the Due should pay down 3,000 fr. for expenses of funeral, etc, and should make a yearly allowance for life to Mrs. Dillon of 8,600 fr., two- thirds of which is to be reversionary upon, her two sons, unhappily confined as lunatics and supported by their late brother. A curious fact came out lately before the Court of Exchequer, in England.— The proprietor ofa theatre at Hoxton quarreled with Mr. Wilde, lessee of Leo- tarde, the -'trapezist,". as to a commission due to him, when it was shown in evidence that Mr. Wilde paid Leotard £200 a week for his services at tho Al- hambra, and £20 a night for his services anywhere elso. In other words a French acrobat receives a salary greater than, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and three times that of the Premier, for jumping from ono rope to another atthe risk of his neck. It is twice as much as that ofthe President ofthe United States, and six times that of any of his Secretaries. A horrible scene occurred at an execution in Woodstock, Canada, lately, A blind man named Thomas Cook, who murdered his wife in a drunken quarrel, was hung. .The fall was a very long one, the rope being nine feet four inches in length. The fall being so great, and thc man's body being in a diseased condition, the vertebrae and muscles conecting the head with the shoulders gave way, and, terrible to relate, the head rolled off while the body fell with a heavy plunge into the interior of the scaffold! The lifeblood ofthe criminal poured out in living streams from the headless trunk, while the torn muscles and gaping art- t-ies presented a sickening spectacle.

Nkw Yohk, January 26—The Times' Wash tou dispatch saya a couicreuce waa held ou Saturday night at the White liouse, in wbicb Secretary Stautou and several prominent Senators and Ke- presentativen participated. During the conference political matters of grave importance wero discussed, and it waa derermined that a change in tin Administration policy iu many essential respects will be tbo result ; it is regarded as certain, even if it occasions official chaugea in important places. Tbe Secretary of War has notified CotiKreHs that he is making sueh changes in the organization of his departmeut as will relelve him from thu neces- a ity of baving more than one assistant in future. It is understood that Wolcott retiree, and Watson remains, aa Assistant Secretary. The Herald's Washington dispatch Hays, as oue of the results of tbe recent Republicau caucus, it is intimated lhat a demand lor lhe reconstructiou ot the Cabinet will be urged with pertinacity, nnd that if a change should not be made belore the fourth of March, Congress iu imitation of the British Parliament, will pass a resolution declaring a want of confidence in tbe present Cabinet. The World's dispatch Bays a very important report, said to be founded on good authority, iu rei- irSQOe to the Army of the Potomac, reached here last night. Il is that the Army of lhe Potomac be I rtually dinbanded, and the greater portion of it be seut to the West to co-operate in a grand cam jaigu soou to be inaugurated.

Let proof be made lo tha Senate, aud Ut the Senate act according to its owu judg meat. In the House a motion to lay on the table the bill for employment of soldiers of African descent wss disagreed to—fifty-three to eighty-three. The House also refused to vole—thirty-two to one huudred and three—lo refer it to the Military Commit tee.

Nkw York, Jau. 24th.—The Express says that ou Wednesday last Gen. Wool issued ordtrs to the commanding officers of lhe whole militia of thu Slate to report to him. A number of oach corps were ready lor duty, and tbo orders were quietly served. Seme commanders of the Second Division responded by preseutiug their reports, aud others flatly reluse, ou the grouuda that Gov. Seymour was legally the Commander-in-Chief ol lho forces ofthe Slate.

Thia new movement has created a great excitement in military circles.

THE YtiriV-G WIDOW.
She is modest, she is bashful,
Free and eapy, but not bold—
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old.
Half inviting,half repulsion,
Now advancing cod now shy.
There is nii.-chief in her dimple,
There ia due ger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in all her art?,
She has taken her diploma,
Aa the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell tlie very nionn'nt..
When lo aigh and when lo smile.
Oh ! a maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all Un* while.
You are sad ? How very serious
Will her handsome (ace become.
Are you aiigl \ t She if wrelelied,
Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful ? Mow her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out.
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
Aa the angler does the trout.
Te old bachelorfl Q* Forty,
Who have Brown fo cold and wise,
Young Americana of Tweniy,
Willi your lovelocks in your eye*,
Ton may practise all ihe lessons
Tannin "by Cupid since the fall,
Bul 1 know a little widow,
Who could win and lool you all.
"Washington Tkriutory.—Dr. Coop
cr, of Stevens' exploring expedition,
makes the following notice of tbis territory in the Country Gentleman:
■'• The natural features of Washington Territory arc strikingly different
throughout from those of a corresponding portion ofthe Atlantic coast, owing
both to its mountainous character and
peculiar products. To.a traveler approaching the coast by sea, the whole
country appears mountainous, and densely clothed with dark green forests, from
the water level to thermits of perpetual
snow. Far above tbis, tower in indescribable majesty and beauty, the brilliant
snowclad peaks ofthe Cascade range in
strong relief against tlie deep blue sky,
and seemingly close to the sea, although
Mount St. Helens', the nearest, is one
hundred miles inland. At sunset the softening mist which bangs over them becomes tinted with the most delicate hues,
gradually changing through the shades
of rose, purple and lilac, until in th
moonlight they become liko monuments
of shining silver.
On nearing land, this noble scenery is
found to be'"accompanied by a propo:
tionately gigantic vegetation, and indeed,
everything seems planned on a gigantic
scale of twice the dimensions to which
wc havo been accustomed. The Columbia, unequaled in grandeur even by the
'Father of Waters/ is bordered by lofty
clitis and mountains, clothed from base
to Bummit with perpetual verdurc,_ and
supporting on almost every foot of surface, trees of astonishing magnitude.—
At every bend constantly varying scenes ofthe wildest beauty burst upon the
view, while the calm silence is often unbroken, save by the scream ofthe panther, or the shrill cry of the eagle soaring
far overhead.
The universal and gloomy forest soon
becomes monotonous, and it is a relief to
see the canoe gliding silently along, the
log-cabin oftbe pioneer on the shores,
or to hear the shrill whistle of the steamboat echoing and echoing, from bank
to bank, and startling tbe savage inhabitants of the woods. Though few signs
of inhabitants may be seen, there are
usually a few yards back of the line of
poplars that edge the river, large and
fertile prairies, and farms well stocked
with the products of the soil.
On the smaller rivers a striking variety in scenery is observed, as in a few
miles wc pass from the sandy sea beach
through luxuriant meadows, upland prairies, and forests with all their different
vegetation, until reaching the end of
navigation wc find a mountain torrent,
walled in'by precipitous sides, and falling in successive cascades for hundreds of
feet. All this is seen within ten miles
of the ocean, on the 'SCopalux river," as
well as on some running into Puget
Sound.
Entering the Straits of Fuca thc scenery is quite different, but no less interesting.
The calm blue waters of tbe sound lie
placid as a lake in the basin formed by
their steep shores, with an ever-varying
outline of points and bays, and dotted
with islands of every form and size.—
Prairies are often visible to the water's
edge, interspersed with evergreen forests, and an elevated plateau to the
base of the rugged and snowy mountains that rise like walls on thc east and
west. With all this magnificence there
is not wanting scenery of a milder and
more home-like aspect. The smooth
prairies, dotted with groves of oaks,
which in the distance look like orchards,
seem so much like old farms that itis
hard to resist the illusion that we are
not in a land cultivated for hundreds of
years, and adorned by the highest art,
though thc luxuriant- and brilliant vegetation far excels any natural growth in
the east. Nothing seems wanting but
the presence of civilived man, though it
must bc acknowledged tbat he oftener
mars than improves the lovely face of
nature.
Tbc sca-beaeh, too, has peculiar attractions for one accustomed to live ir
its vicinity. Its broad hard sand forms
an excellent road, smooth and solid as
tho iloor, on which arc often to be found
objects of interest and value, free gifts
from tlie domain of Neptune. The con*
stant roar of the surf forms a pleasing
relief to the silence ofthe surrounding
forests, aud in solemn tones unceasingly
it speaks of that Power who created all
these things, 'whoso path is in the great
waters, aud whose footsteps are not
known.''''
Vicious.—To pernio in kissing a pretty black
eyed girl, when she resolutely declares she wiabe
you uot to. It looks I*.;; though you wouldn't take
ber word.

Tcie-ifi'mpti Matters.
Yesterday, the 21st, the annual meeting cf the
California State Telegraph Company waa held in

L. Ludd, Secretary ; R. E. Brewster, Treasurer.
The lines of tbe Ccmpany, which comprise tbe
Overland line and all the California lines, are in
most excellent working order, and a large ame
ol insulator*-*, wire, poles, etc. on hand, and paid
for, to build additional lines in the spring, which
will materially add to the earnings of the company. Quarterly dividends of one dollar per share
are regularly paid from the pres 'tit earnings of the
company, and with the lines projected, an additional income will be added.
At the rate the stock is selling in the niarkett
tbe dividends of tbe company are nearly equal to
tweniy per cent, per annum, interest, wbich, for
Calilornia. may be considered very good stock, especially as the dividends are paid in gold.—ilta.

Aa Old TRAFALGAR Max.—There is now serving
on board of tbe Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Ceylon a fiue old sailor, named Cracker, who entered the British navy in 1800. He fought under
Nelson at Copenhagen in tbe frigate Ariadne and
on board the Mars, seventy* four at Trafalgar
where be was wouuded in the leg. Ninety seven
of bis comrades were killed outright in this action,
besides tho?e who died afterwards of their wounds.
He subsequently served at Genoa.-Flushing aud
Gaeta, aud was present at the taking of many
prizes aud minor engagements on the aea. Ou
board cf hia present ship he bears au excellent
meter, and wbat is remarkable is that, though
77 years of age, he is oue of the host look out men
the ship. Capt. Evans has some time since
kindly giveu directions which exempt bim from
" _ aloft. The old man lelt the royal navy in
18357 nnd has siuce enjoyed a pension of Is. a day.
He has a wife who is 03 years old, and four children living, out of twelve. It is believed he is
the ouW existing instauce of a first class powder
boy ol Trafalgar (October 21, 1805) still Berviug
as an able seaman in 1863.

there were Iwo (eet of snow, at Webster's eighteen

A Paris letter says : The criminal prosecution against the young Due do Gram-
mont Caderonsse for killing an Englishman and writer in Le Sprot ina duel,
terminated, as I believe I mentioned, in
an acquittal. But he has since been subjected to a civil suit, for compensation,
by the mother of the deceased, who was
almost entirely dependent on him. The
case terminated yesterday, when the
Court decided that the Due should pay
down 3,000 fr. for expenses of funeral,
etc, and should make a yearly allowance
for life to Mrs. Dillon of 8,600 fr., two-
thirds of which is to be reversionary
upon, her two sons, unhappily confined
as lunatics and supported by their late
brother.
A curious fact came out lately before
the Court of Exchequer, in England.—
The proprietor ofa theatre at Hoxton
quarreled with Mr. Wilde, lessee of Leo-
tarde, the -'trapezist,". as to a commission due to him, when it was shown in
evidence that Mr. Wilde paid Leotard
£200 a week for his services at tho Al-
hambra, and £20 a night for his services anywhere elso. In other words a
French acrobat receives a salary greater than, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
and three times that of the Premier, for
jumping from ono rope to another atthe
risk of his neck. It is twice as much as
that ofthe President ofthe United States,
and six times that of any of his Secretaries.
A horrible scene occurred at an execution in Woodstock, Canada, lately,
A blind man named Thomas Cook, who
murdered his wife in a drunken quarrel,
was hung. .The fall was a very long one,
the rope being nine feet four inches in
length. The fall being so great, and thc
man's body being in a diseased condition,
the vertebrae and muscles conecting the
head with the shoulders gave way, and,
terrible to relate, the head rolled off
while the body fell with a heavy plunge
into the interior of the scaffold! The
lifeblood ofthe criminal poured out in
living streams from the headless trunk,
while the torn muscles and gaping art-
t-ies presented a sickening spectacle.
