Home Pictures.
BY J. SWEET.
I remember the old farm house,
With dark, unpainted form,
Grown black by long exposure
To wind, and rain aud storm -
The roof was grown with mosses.
Th? frame-work huge and strong,
Like the ash tree standing near it,
Where birds sang all day loug.
I remember, I remember
The tiny little bed
In the old. unfinished chamber,
With the rafters overhead *,
The patter of the rain-drops
Was music to my ear
Which lulled me into pleasant dreams
Vnbriviten by a fear.
1 remember ibe old garden.
When ripe fruit on the ground.
Like apples of Hespen'des,
Lay temptingly around ;
The blue plums and red cherries,
The pears and currants nice—
Ah ! tbat bumble little garden
Was to ine a paradise.
I remember the barn and swallows
With white and glossy breasts,
That underneath projecting e.ivea
In summer built their nesta ;
Tiiey twittered round their dwellings
In ever joyous play,
And lived and loved each other
In collages of clay.
1 remember, I remember,
The busy haying-time.
When I heard the mowers whetting
Their scythes in merry chime ;
I loved to spread the green grasa
And rake the new-made hay,
Or load the rattling hay-cart*
At close of summer day.
I remember fields of clover
Like red-waved summer sea!«,
While I listened to the music
Of busy bumble-bees:
The dark groin Indian cornfields,
With silken tassels fair.
And slender cornstalks bristling
Like lances in the air.
I remember, I remember
The steep ami slippery hill
Where we coasted winter evenings,
Though winds were keen and chill;
Wc shot like Indian ano.va
llpoa the crusted snow,
Onr toes and finger.--, freezing,
But our heat ts ali iu a glow.
I remember, and with sadness,
The buoyant heart cf youth,
With iIs ardent soul-aspirings
For manliness and truth.
The memories of boyhood
Come back with smiles and tears,
And I treasured up the picture
Of my home in early years.
Sad CASt-At.Tr.—From the San Diego "HcraM"
of the I6th inst., we select the following news :
A young man named Theodore McKoy. who let'
this place in company with Charles H. l'uole, Esq.
U. S. Deputy Surveyor on the 3d May last, by some
unaccountable accident, was lost on tbe Desert, he
having become separated from the party on their
return to camp on the 28tb ult. His fate is inevitable, and we subjoin the accompanying statement
without further comment, until we shall have informed ourselves fully, hoping that his remains
may yet be found :
Camf at Ai-amo Mocha.,  1
June 4, 1855. f
For the information of the friends of Theodore
McKoy, Esq., we the undersigned, assistants in the
survey of the public lands on the Colorado Desert.
to C. H. Boole, Esq., U. S. Depi ty Surveyor, to
whose party the above belonged, deem it proper to
state tliat every means ii: our power to find the
missing man was used, without avail, and that hi?
oss was in no way attributable to the neglect or
want of care or foresight of the said Deputy Surveyor or any of his assistants, but can only be ascribed to the imprudence of Mr. McKoy in separating h mself from the rest of the party, while returning to camp, over one of the worst portions of
the Desert. We would further state that, in onr
opinion. McKoy is nu longer alive, but must bave
perished among the sand hills of the Desert, of exhaustion and thirst.

Assignments of Land Warrants, Ortotnaixy.
WBEN the WaRRANTSS is Deceased.—Ignorance of,
the fact that Military La' d Warrants are tinder
construction of law. realmnl not personal property,
very frequently causes much trouble and expense
to parties holding warrants under the above named
circumstances. Where a warantee dies, leaving a
warrant undisposed of, the property therein at once
descends to the heirs at law of such decedent. If
those heirs are all of lawful a^e, they may assign
the warrant, under the certificate of the probate
court of domicil of the decedent, that the heirs
tamed are such bona fide and the only one living.
If the heirs are minors, tbey must act through a
;uardian, whose charae'era such must be attested
by ihe like probate court, and under order from
such court to sell. Heirship must always be proven
in the same manner as above. In all cases the date
of the demise of the warrantee is lo be proven
'h rough sa d court. It not unfrequently happens
that the warrant bears date subsequent to the decease of the person to whom it issued, when its
issue is a nullity, and it should be surrendered to
ne Pension Office, for tlie issue ofa new one, either
io the widow of the soldier if she be alive, or to
iiis minor children. If there are neither, the claim
lapses. It will be seen from the above that Milila-
■y Warrants cannot be informally transferred, from
'land to hand, like choses in action, but must be
■'ormally carried through a legal and sometimes
intricate course of proceedings.—[Wash. Star.
FitiQHTFTi. Murder vs Sha3Ta Couxtt.— The
Shasta " Courier-' says that David C. Goodwin was
murdered at Horsetown, Shasta county, on the 13th
ult.. by Alexander Higgins,and gites the subjoined
particulars :
Higgins had served as a bar tender under Goodwin. He was atone time convicted in Sacramento
of stealing money, and prooerly punished. He
took the stage ou the 14th at Briggsville, but left
it at Tehama—-was dressed in common blue eotton-
ade overalls, soiled white shirt beneath a gray
jumper or overshirt—had on a brown hat belonging
to Goodwill—wae about five feet ten inches in
height; bad dark brown hair, light beard, sallow
comple-Niou, aud was very talkative. He was once
on board ofan American man-of-war, and had, it is
thought, the letter H and other letters aiul marks
pricked upon one ofhis wrists with India ink.
It seems that Goodwin had left Horsetown, on
the evening ofhis death, considerably under the
influence of drink, uud it is thought that the scoundrel Higgins. took advantage of his helpless state,
to murder him for a small amount which he had
concealed about his person. On the night of the
murder, Higgins appeared ill Horsctown. and was
observed to have a spot of blood upon his shirt,
and when questioned about it, said that his nose
had been bleeding.
The body of the murdered man was not discovered until the 20th. It was found in an old prospce-
„ hole, partly covered with ashes. The skull
was fractured immediately above the eye; there
was also a deep gash upon the upper lip. An axe.
with which the deed was doubtless committed, was
found near ti o cabin, with blood and hair upon it.
The floor of the cabin was also spotted with blood,
which in some Instances-, were covered with ashes.
It is believed that Higgins is uow lurking about
Sacramento, or San Francisco, and the police """"
cautioned to be on their guard for him.
HoNSTROCa Tobacco Statistics.— The present
annual production of tobacco is estimated to be 4
WO.OOO.OOO pounds—four billionsof pounds I _This
is all smoked, chewed, or snuffed. Suppose it all
made into cigars, one hundred to the pound, it
would produce 400,000,OuO.001). Four hundred billions ofcigars! These cigars, at the usual length
-1 inches, joined together, would form one contin-
tons-cigar 35.262,520 miles long, which would en-
"ircle the earth, more than one thousand times.—
Cut up into equal pieces 250,000 miles in length
'here would be over one thousand cigars which
'vould extend from the centre of the earth to the
■entre of the moon Put these cigars info boxes

would cover a farm of 33S acres: and if laid side

$4,000,000,000 expended every year in producing

costing 310.000 each, or half a million of school
houses costing 52,000 each, or one million of dttel

million of preachers, and one million of teachers,

A Trial ix a Court " ox tub Wing/'—The
Providence '-Journal'" of the 25th ult.. gives the
following:
An example of summary justice was afforded
yesterday on the Providence and Worcester Railroad. A man who had once been tried on a charge
of obstructing the same road was a passenger. He
refused to surrender his ticket to the conductor,
alleging that he could not trust him witb it. No
persuasions could induce bim to give it up. and the
conductor waited till tiie train had passed into
Massachusetts. Soon after a constable nnd a justice ofthe peace came into the car. Mr. Garfield
stated the case ; the justice issued a writ; the constable served it ; the case was duly tried, the cars
going all the time at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour; the delinquent was found guilfy, fined
.ive dollars and costs, amounting in all to over ni
dollars, and when the train reached Uxbridge he
was told to take his choice, pay the fine or go to
■ail. He chose the latter, and learned a good lesion—that the next time he undertakes to impose on
x railroad company he must do it in Rnode Island,
is the laws of the other States do not allow them.

Among other interesting anecdotes of the Choc
taws, the New Orleans "Republican" gives the foi
lowing sketch of their manner of love-making :
"Courtship is invariably begun by the female,
[f she fancies a young man, she makes what i
technically called the first banter. This is dim
by slyly squeezing the hand, or gently tonching
ins foot at the camp lire. It a man should venture
ipon any of these little preliminaries, without
being sure ofa reciprocal partiality, the indignant
maid would immediately assail him with a stick,
and this would be a signal for a general assault by
til the squaws around on the presuming lover, who.
unless he ilea, would be beaten witho t mercy.—
Thus, even in this rude shape, does woman play the
coquette. The young squaw who screams the
loudest and shows the most resentment at these
unwarrantable liberties of an ardent lover, is set
down as the Diana of her tribe."
Good Pun.—Somebody asked Baron Rotschild
to take some venison. --So," said the Union ; '* I nevei
eat venison, I don't ttrnk it ish -o good as nttltten."
"Oh," gays the liaron's friend, -'I wonder at your savin*.'
BO ; if muttun is better tbstn venison, why does venison
cost more." " I vill tell you vy—in dish vorld the people
always prefer \al ish deer to vat is theep.

two hundred ol' the Masonic fraternity assembled
on Monday morning at ll o'clock, in front ol tin.
Masonic Hall, on J. street, formed a line of march
under the command ol Grand Marshal, Isaac Davis—
and after marching through the principal streets,
headed by a baud of music, proceeded to the Sixth

day were had. After the exercises were closed at
the church, the procession re-formed and marched
to the Hall, where they were dismissed. One of
the most attractive features of the celebration was
the Knights Templar, with their beautiful and ap-
priate regali s, mounted on horses. The procession, as a whole, presented rather a:i imposing appearance. At about li o'clock the brotherhood, and
quite a number of ladies, sat down to a sumptuous

Thk Overland Emigrant PkobPECT is not good
for California this year. The Western papers rejoice that the Pacific exodus has ceased, for a time
at least. The St. Louis Republican says: "We
hear no more the notes of preperation for the great
journey over the plains ; of caravans of hundreds
and thousands, leaving home aud friends for new
and untried scenes. On the contrary, we find that
emigrants to Western Missouri and Kansas and Nebraska, are (jotting, u they used to do in the days
ofthe -'Platte ParcllBse,-" fifteen years ago ; aud
our western borders are fast making up the losses
incurred hy the California fever." The editor concludes by an expression of his opinion that now that
people are setting to work on their farms, instead
of straggling oil'to the gold fields, but a few seasons
will pass before the exports from the West will be
doubled.

Temperance Meeting in Sacramento.—A meeting of the frjends of temperance was held on Tuesday evening 27th ult.. in the Rev. Mr. Graham's
church on Seventh street. The audience in attendance, says the "union,'' although not unusually
'arse, was exceedingly respectable and intell gent,
and included a number of ladies. Addressts were
delivered by Messrs. Welty. Barber, Hoag of Yolo,
and Moore, iu advocacy of the election of representatives to the Legislature lavorable to the cause of
Temperance, but without advising tbe nomination
of candidates for that object exclusively, or even
advening to the subject of a distinct organisation
in that respect.

A i>ojr Fight In FsogtOTrni
There is un excellent moral in the following sto-
ry, which is told with great skill. It shows us how
a whole village or a whole church is sometimes
torn to nieces by a fight between two dfogs.
The most remarkable dog fight MS record came
off at Frogtown. on the "frontiers of Maine, some
years ago. It engrossed the conirnttnily in one
general melee, interminable law-suit.-, distraction
ol the town, its downfall and fain.
A fanciful genius, owned J-oe Tucker—a man
about town, a lounger without visible means of
support, a do-nothing, fun-loving, cigar-smoking,
good-natured fullow,—owned a dog, which was a
sleek, intelligent, and rather pretty beast, always
nt .Toe's heels*, and known us woll as his muster,
and liked far more, by the inhabihmts of Frogtown. One dny Joe antl his dog were passing Mr.
})iiiiion;s grocery store, when a great piebald, ugly
looking dog, etafldine; alongside of a wood-wagon,
bounced on Joe Tucker's dog, knocked him heels
over head, and so frightened Bob Carter's wife,
who was then parsing towai*. s her husband's blacksmith shop with his dinner, that she stumbled
backwards, and her old sun-bonnet flopped of!',
scaring the horse attached to tne wagon. He
started off, and ran against Sam Luthcrcm's barber-
pole, upset the load of wood, a part of which fell
into Tom Gumbo's refreshment cellar, and struck
one of the children ou the head, apparently kilting
it stone-dead. This so alarmed Mrs. Gumbo, that
she dropped a stew-pan of boiling-hot pvetera into
the lap of u customer, who sat waiting for the
savory concoction, by a table in the corner. Mrs.
Gumbo rushed for Ihe child, and the customer ran
for the door. Mrs. Gumbo screamed; the child
bawled ; and the customer yelled.
'■ Oh, oh, my poor child !;; cried Mrs. Gumbo.
<;Boo! boo, oo'" roared the child.
" Oh, murder! Oh, I'm scalded to all eternity !
Blood and murder!" screamed the customer.
The horse with a part ofthe wagon, and some of
the wood, continued ou his mad career. The owner
of the strange dog came out ofa store just in time to
sec Joe Tucker sieze a rock to demolish tiie savage
dog; and not waiting to see the stone "let drive,"
lie gave Joe sueh a knock on the back, that sent
him reeling up the street. In his fall, Joe struck
the loot of a long ladder, upon which Jim Elderberry was perched, with paint-pot in hand, some
thirty fcet from terra firma, and brought down the
ladder, the painter and his pot; sprawling on the
earth, crippling poor Jim lor life, and sprinkling
blue paint copiously over tlie broadcloths, satinets
and calicoes of Abraham Miller, who was a formal
and even tempered Quaker. Friend Miller ran to
the door just its the twe dogs had gone fairly into
the fight, '*hip and thigh," "nip and catch.'' A
glance at matters seemed to convince Abraham of
the true state ofthe ease; and in an unusually
elevated voice, he eal led out to Joe Tucker, who
had recovered from his prostrate posture—
■•Joseph Tucker, thy dog is fighting."
'•Let them fight!?' shouted the pugnacious owner ofthe strange dojf. "Let them light it out.
Fl! bet a load of wood that my flog can eat up any
dog in town, and I ean cat the owner.'/
We have said that Abraham Miller was a mild
man : Quakers are pro ver iii ally so. But the
gauntlet thrown down by tlie stranger from the
counlry stirred the gall (Jf Abraham, and be rushed
into the store. From the back yard, baring slipped bis collar. Friend Miller brought forth a brindle cur, v.hieb v, as a long, strong, and powerful
dog.
'•Friend," said the escited Quafcor, ,;l!iy dog
shall be well beaten, I promise Ihee. Tuch, h'-iv,
boy! sieze upon biml'1 The dog here made »
fitrions attack on iiis antagonist.
Bob Carter, the blacksmith, came up in time to
hear the stranger's defiance to the town, and wits
iKtit on a fight with somebody, iu resentment for
the insult and damage to hi-: wile; so lie grasped
the collar of tbe rtraage'e, and by bestowing several "ten-strikes" upon tne face, back and sides of
bis burly adversary, witb his natural sledge hammers, Bob Gaiter stirred up ihe ire of the bully
(ranger, and drew out fhe full compass of his
strength and power. The collision well-nigh made
the sparks fly.
Joe Tucker's dog now being re-inforced by Abraham Miller's cur. look a fresh start; und between

Do not thee strike my dog. Deacon Pugh,"
cried Abraham .Miller, advancing to the Deacon,
who was about to cut right and left among the
dogs, with his e"ane.
'■ Your dogs !'"'' shouted the Deacon, with evident
fervor.
'" Not my dogs,. Deacon Pugh !" echoed the Quaker.
•■' "What did you say so for, then!" demanded the
Deacon,
" 1 never said dogs, Deacon Pugh.-'
"Yon did!" responded the Deacon with cx-
citeaaent.
"Deacon Pugh, thee speak? groundless."
"Yoa tell a falsehood, Abraham Miller!"
"Thee ■utters u mendacious assertion!" reiterated Abraham.

in their attempt to preserve the peace and arrest
the offenders, the 'Sijuire was thrust through the
window of a neighboring watchmaker, doing serious damage to the occupant's property. Lawyer
Hooker, in attempting to aid tin1 constable, was hit
through mistake, by the furious blacksmith, in
the short ribs ; and down he weut staggering into
Gumbo's cellar, with avelosity that was more sudden thai) agreeable. The friends and fbllow-cbareh-
meu of Deacon Pugh took sides against the Qua-
kepj und the shop boys ot Abraham, seeing their
employer thus beset, rallied to t. e rescue. Two
Irishmen, who had a taste for fun and frolic, believing it to be a "free light," tried their hands and
sticks upon thecoKbaianfs, indiscriminately. The
quiet and happy village of Frogtown was soon
frightened from its propriety, by one grand, sublimely ridiculous, and lerrilie battle. Heads aud
windows were smahed. children and women screamed, dogs barked, dust Hew, labor ceased ; and so
mad and exeitod became the wholecommiinity. that
a quiet looker-on, if there had been any, would
' ave concluded that ail the evil- spirits were in
Frogtown.
A heavy thunder-storm finally put an end to the
war. Several of the dogs were killed : a child
was severely wounded ; a man wus scalded ; a
wagon was destroyed ; a horse ran himself lodi-alb:-
(he wood-seller was badly beaten by Bob Carter, j
whose wile aud other women were much frighiened;
Quaker, Joe Tucker, two Irishmen, the town con
table, and .several others,were shamefully e.'hippr.-d.
LaW-SaitB ensued ; feuds followed ; and the entire
peace and good reputation of Frogtown was annihilated—all by an unfortunate and remarkable dog-
light.

Dear Sik :—The undersigned, a committee appointed by a large meeting of our fellow citizens
to communicate to you their action, would earnestly Call your attention to the proceedings thereof,
which we herewith enclose.
We believe that at no time in the history of our
country 1ms the necessity of cutting aloof from all
Northern political organizations been more manifest, and certainly no time can be more piopittoua
to unite us as one people tbau now, when nu question of State or national policy divides us, save
that greatest and most interesting of all—our sate-
ty in the use and enjoyment of our slave institutions.
The inimical policy of the non slavcholding
States, as indicated by their public men, their popular elections and their legislative acts, with regard to the execution of the Fugitive Slave law,
und their manifest hostility to the admission Of
Kansas as a State with a constitution recognizing
the institution of slavery within her borders, is
sufficient to awaken the attention of tlie most trusting lover of the Union to the danger in which ihe
South now stands,aiid the necessity ot notifying- the
Northern States of the determination ol Georgia lo
defend the line which she, in solemn convention,
has indicated as the line of their aggressions. May
we hope lor your co-operation in tins work of uniting the South. We are respectfully,
Thomas Llegland, Johu A. Jones,
F. M. Brooks, James M. Bel lame,
James K. liedd, John J. Ridgway,
A. S. Rutherlord.

oue party.
The objects and aims of the meeting are so fully
and distinct!? set forth in the preamble and resolutions, that w-e apprehend they will speak 'or themselves, and require hut Utile in the way cfcommeu'
tar; from us lo recommend them to ihe calm and
disp&sioitata eon^deratton of all true lovers of
constitutional rights, and-to the prompt and effective recpoose of every tVhe-k'-heurted Southerner
who sstimRVes Ae permwnent Interest and prosperity ofhis coitntry above temporary results of party
ascendency. That sueh men are among us, in en-
eOtgraxlng lunnbt-rs, is manifest in the general, almost universal, spirit of favor with which the objects and action ofthe meeting was received by I be
assembled multitudes. The hearty amen with whioh
they responded to the projected policy ol'bui viug
all past differences that they might (be more securely guard agaiust Ihe threatening evils iu the future,
bore gratifying; testimony that, in the enimatioi
of her true sons, the rights of Uie South are the
paramount objects of their regard. The spirit t^.t
pervaded the meeting was calm and harmonious
throughout, not characterised by those noisy do-
mnn.-irutinns of applause usually employed to indicate popular appreciation of the successful stroke
of party leaders, . at by that calm and earnest interest, far more reliable and more appropriate to ua
exigency which move the people lo surrender ancient alliances,, lo reconcile old enimities, to abandon rooted prejudices, and in a spirit of virtuous
resolve, to lorget and forgive, to yield np alt for'
the rights, ihe interest, and prosperity of iheir common country.
Who will respond to this movement in behalf of
the constitutional rights of the youth?- -for to be
effective it must be a general one. Shall it uot be
anpiveieal one throughout the State of Gcorgi.t
and the entire South I U no will be found to raise*
a voice against a policy wilh which is identified SO
much that is good at so small a sacrifice '!■ Who
will be found bold and bad enough to contraveno
so desirable an object as tlie union of the Soulh. irt

of maintaining her rights and interests as guaranteed by the constitution and menaced by fanatical
enemies? Tlthere beany su;h in our midst—which
God forbid! let him make his opposition know u, and
it ceases to be effective. If ire may judge from our
own community, the opponents to this movement
will be found tew aud iar behvi en, while its more
zealous friends come forth from the ranks of all tho
various party organizations which exist among as*
The seveu hundred people of Muscogee assembbd
in lhat meeting are a fair type of the people of tho
State ol Georgia ar.d of tlie entire South ; their interests, objects, hopes and aims are identical: they
stand comckd by the ties of a eommon interest
and bound by Ihe Sympathy of a common destiny.
Let them move forward, then,- together in the ac-
complisnieu! of the desired ebjietj let all party
affiliations with national organizations be at once
and thoroughly dissolved ; and in good faith and
mutual coniidence let ihe people ofthe South, by
making her rights the lirst and paramount object,

of political orthodoxy, the irrevocable condition of
tlie peaceful perpetuity of this Union.
Wc recommend lbe action of the Muscogee meeting and the spirit which pervaded it, to the culm
consideration of the people of all parts of the State
and of the South, that as speedily as possible it
may be known whether the sentiments conveyed
are ihose ofa portion of the people only, or whether they are the great controlling conviction
of the body or people of the Southern Stales
of the comederacy. Let the people determine this
question in their hearts and at their homes. Let
it be commenced in their primary assemblies nnd
echoed through the press, that frieuds may b»

From the N. 1. Herald of June 5th.-
Recently we published an account of the re-shipment to Liverpool, by the Commonwealth of Maw
aehusetis, of a lone woman and her infant, whosw
otiiy crime was poverty. The cruelty of Iho act
called forth, as it merited, universal execration
item the press of tiie eorwtry. ltwas supposed lo
be the extreme length to Wni«h the peculiar pbi-
lauJiropy and Arncrieanisni of Massachusetts cottld
go; that supposition, however, was not well founded. It now a; pears chat the same vessel which
carried the widowed molher and latberiess infant
from the capitol oi New England carried also Hugh
Carr, who has resided within the state for ihe
pust thirteen years, paid his taxes regularly as a
goodeittizen, und taken out h.s lirst naturalization
papers. L'ulortuuately, Mr. Carr, some six mouths
since, by dni* of the inscrutable dispensations of
Divine ITovidence, became a lunatic—ami his relatives, who Were abundantly able aud \raliiig to
support him—placed him iu an asylum, in accordance with the advice of friends. I'be managers of
the asylum would not allow the frieuds ot Carr to
v.sit a.iii, butprcwuised that he should be well cared
for. But tne aumonties resolved to get rid of
his troublesome tax upon the pnblic bounty, ami
^eereily shtppjd him off to Liverpool, thrusting
he pojr lu.iucic out upoa the world to perish.—
I The brother oi Mr. Carr, it is said, haa tlireatned to
bring an action of law m this matter, and it is uu-
c dirstood the uncharitable oiliciais hav** sent word
1 tu Europe to have the uu fortunate victim1 sent back
by (be urst steamer. This simple act of justice,
however does not mittig te the atrocionsucss of
their conduct in (lie premises.
There wus a grand reunion Saturday night of

lt is stated to be the intention of the Allied
Powers io embark an immense force immediately
for the Crimea, Such a movement is considered
necessary by persons well acquainted with military
afliurs. It is understood that the e.Npcdilieu will
comprise about otbbOU men—cavalry, artillery and
infantry—and that its destination will be some
place near the Isthmus of Perekop, in order lo co-
opperate witb tlie Allied Army before Sebaakpol,
by checking the advance, or, in the event of lim
fortress being carried by culling off tbe retreat of
the Russians.
