T.MwnrtIne*.. Mother.
It was the fate of the father of La mar tine, the
great living French poet and orator, to be mixed
ap with the first French Revolution. During that
Btormy period, he, with a great number of his compatriots, waa hmaured in the prison o-f Macon. He
was not there long before his wife, with her ch-ik..,
took lod-gings opposite the window of the cell which
inclosed tbe republica-i!.. She soon drew hia attention to bersel. and his child, wlrch, though he
eould not speak to-her for fear of the sentinel, reconciled turn in some measure to his captivity.and
lessened the burden of his woes. "My mflther,--
says Lamartine, " carried me every day in hcr
arms to the garret window, showed me to my father, gave me nourishment before him, made me
stretch out my little hands towards the bars of his
prison, then, pressing my forehead to her breast,
ibe almost devoured me with kisses in the sight of
the prisoner, and deemed thus to waft htm mentally
all tbo cm-esses wliich she lavished on me." At
last she hit upon the happy expedient of conveying
to him letters in tlie following manner : She procured a bow and some arrows, and tying aletter to
a thread, she shot tho arrow, to which was attached the other end of the thread, into the window of
the prisoner's cell. In this way she sent him peas,
ink and paper. He then, by the same ingenious
expedient, sea *iove-letters to her. Thus the separated husband and wife were enabled to correspond, to cheer each other's hopes, and suetain each
other in their misfortunes. This was at. done at
night time, when tbe scrutinizing eyes ofthe sentinels remained in happy ignorance ofthe medium
of communication. Success having inspired, courage, the lady, with the assistance of .be arrow and
thread, afterwards conveyed a file to the captive,
with which he silently filed through one of the bars
of his prison, and then restored it to its place. On
the next evening, when there was no moonlight, a
stout cord was fastened to the thread nnd transmitted to the prisoner, The rope was firmly fastened on the one end to a beam* it* the garret ofthe
lady, and the other end to the bars ofthe cell; then
summoning up all his coarage, the prisoner gilded
along the rope, above the heads of the sentinels;
he crossed the street, and found himself in the arms
of his wife and beside the cradle of his child. Such
an adventure required all the hero's courage and
tbe philosopher's caution, and none but those who
were personally interested in it can ever imagine
the feelings which must have agitated their hearts'.
Trom time to time, when the night was dark, tbe
knotted cord would glide from window to window,
aod the prisoner would pass irom knot to knot and
enjoy delightful hours of converse with her whom
he loved best on earth.

Extraordinary Spirit  jttaii-fe-ta-ton.
Messrs. P__i.TKn.Gi_; and Brit-tan :
A few evenings since I attended the Spirit manifestations at Jofcu Tipple's Spirit-room, at Ames-
town, where tbe spirits, as usual, iu the presence
of a house full of witnesses, beat the drums and
tambourine, played on the harp find other instruments of music, and talked audibly through the
trumpet for some ten or fifteen minutes, when a
young man, who, not realizing that we were receiving tangible evidence of the immortality of the
soul, put out his foot and raised a large round center table that stands in the center of the room, and
let it fall heavily on the floor several times. This
destroyed the arrangements, and .the performance
stopped, except that tbo presiding spirit, who is
the principal spirit speaker, talked through the
tram-pet to the young man for „ereral minutes, as
I never heard a person talked to before, and concluded by telling' Mm* to go and remain in darknes and
ignorance till nature developed him to a higher
plane of intelligence. He accordingly left, and
the spirits rearranged the circle, and the presiding spirit said that the young man's name was
Clark, and he was very sorry that there were so
many who had a predominance of animal propensities.
Then tha spirits went on with the performance s
few minute-, when one of tl_e spirits came io me
and said he wanted the violin on which I was playing. (If there is a violin player present, the spirits
generally ask him to play.) So I handed it out,
and the spirit took hold of it and hold of my hand.
and patted me on the hand, arm, etc., and told me
not to b3 alarmed—then took the violin, and played
it around the room, over tbe heads of those present
for a short time, when another spirit took a string
of fcleigh bells that hung on the wall, and rang
them around the room, then close to my face, when
I said, if they did not take the bells away from my
face, I would take them away from them. The
spirit said "That is just what we want." So I
made a grab a*, the bells, and caught my left hand
around the strap and iu the spirit-hand, when it
squeezed my hand so hard that I begged of them
not take my hand off. But they held on and lifted
me clear from the floor by my left hand ; then by
some magnetic or electric power they raised my
feet till I was in nearly a homzontal position*, suspended in the air, nearly to the ceiling. 9_hey carried me arround sometime, and then threw me on
the table. As I was going, my feet eaught the
edge ofthe table,, and moved it about two feet.—
During this performance they broke the bridge of
the violin. I then gat down from the table and
took my seat, my hand being bo pressed that it wai
lame for several days after.
Thei-* one of the sp4rits came and stood before
me, and said'Look!' I looked and saw him distinctly, with what he afterwards told me was one
of the forms of glory onhishcad. It wassomething
like the shape of a horse shoe, with tbe ends hanging down over his ears. It appeared of beautiful
rainbow colors of diamond brightness ; no earthly
beauty can compare with the splendor of that sight
Then he asked me if I would like to see him blow
sparks through the horn ; I answered in the affirmative. He picked up a tin horn that lay Jon the
table, and held the large end near my face, and a
blaze of rainbow-colored sparks came out ofthe
horn, so beautiful tb it their brightness dazrlcd- my
eyes, aud they caused such a crackling [neise com1-
ing from the horn, that all in the room heard it
distinctly. Then, after giving us a beautiful lecture through the trumpet, telling us how to live to
be happy, the performanc c ended for the night.

Paddy's Idea of Perdition.
Pat McCarty -yraa a 'Vbroth of a boy," and altogether a.3 "dacent" a man an3 as handy with a
ipade aa any of the whole five hundred at work upon tho railroad then and now in the process of
building in the Northern portion of Ohio, He was
a great favorite with the overseer, on account of
his faithfulness and integrity cf character, but he
had one fault that sorely grieved his employer.—
Though as sober an a sexton for six days in the
week, Pat could never resist the temptations of pay
flay, and when Saturday came round, never failed
to get '*r.s drunk as a lord." Having tried every
other reformatory expedient in vain, the overseer
at length bethought   himself of the priest,  who
Ere. ailedupon Pat to "take the pledge,'1 and sent
im on his way rejoicing. But, alas! the next payday was "too many" for po.r Pat, who, staggering
through the village at noon, met no less a personage than the priest who had attempted to reform
him.
" You're lost, Pat—entirely lost!" said his reverence, with a sigh of genuine sorrow.
Pat was bewildered for a moment, but, having
stared about him until he had fairly ascertained
His local whereabouts, he exclaimed triumphantly :
" Lost ? Is it tost I am ? Lost in broad daylight,
half way between J-initoy Stacy's and the court-
louie T    To the divil wid yer nonsense!"
A Thorough Going K. N.—A brother ofthe mya
tic tie, now a member ofthe Massachusetts Legislature, recently wrote a letter to his son "at home
on the farm," which by some mischance got into
the wrong post, viz., the Bcstcn Post.
As a specimen oi carrying out one's princieipies,.
we deem it worthy of preservation, laudation, imitation, an<J a-ny c-ther ation but Jore-ign nation.
lint not to detain our readers any longer, here'i
.be-document:
SFosi-cn-, January 16,1855;
Son John : I have too much Legislature work to
come home on Saturday nights as I said I would—
so you mind the farm.    I hare managed to get on
a good many committees, so as to come popular bj
having my name printed oftener in the papers, and
!I mariteg. io say something occasionally and I have
seen my name three times printed in the daily bee.
American principles ia looking up some here iu
Boston, and we are going-to discord all foreign elements in our" government; (by the "way have the
barn door painted some other color besides sp?nish
brown. I don't like anything Spanish.)   The governor has made a lielfi a. -.be foreign militia and disbanded ail tbe companies; (don't use any more
BritSislr oil for your deefuess, fori have thrown
away that box of Russian salve your mother put in
my trunk to rub my rumatic leg with ; use American physic, it ia-.h. best.)   We ase going to- l__we
the latin lingo taken off the state coat of arms, f_nd
put plain yaukee english in its place.   "We* are going aheid I tell you, and make a clean swoop of everything of foreign extraction.    I have visited no
place of amusement except the wild buffalo which
is aregular native, he looks very nnch like a hairy
cow.    Speaking of cowa reminds me very much of
ourDurhum Bull you may sell him to Wade the
butcher he is- of foreign extraction.    A friend asked
me to go to'the Atheneum and see the library and
pictures but I was told nearly all the pictures are
painted by the old masters a3 they are called—and
these I am told are without exception foreigners
besides many of the books are in foreign languages
so it is contrary to my principles to visit such a
place. I was going to see Banvard's great painting
of the Holy Land which is making some stir but a
native artist told me it was mostly painted with
Venetian red, Dutch pink and Naples yellow while
all the skies were Prussian blue too much of the for-*
eign elements- tobe interesting to me.   By the way
speaking'of paint, have the front blinds painted
some color other than I have mentioned above.—
Stop thoZions Herald and take the Yankee Privateer iu its place.    Give my Marseilles vest to Dick
the plowman and tell him to Btone Jip the the
scotch terrier off the farm and to kill the Maltese
cat.   From your affectionate father.

Political Aspect of the mxt CoxG-RF.-ra.—The
NewYorki-osi. makes a critical analysis of tho po-
Htical aspect of the next Congress, recognising Nebraska aud'Anti-Nebraska ap the only party distinction that can-be drawn. According to its summing up the Senate will stand Nebraska.40j Anti-
Nebraska 22, and the House,. Nebraska I0G, Anti-
Nebraska 128, It, will thus be seen that the Post,
with all its strong An ti-Nebraska feeling,, only
claims a majority of 22 in the House.. !Bhis majority will prove all sufficient to- defeat the Nebraska
bill were it now to be brought forward as a1 new
mearure, but the attempt to- repeal it is fv: different
question, and upon that issue the Post will find it
difficult,. ..{.-think it impossible, to obtain the vote
its wnalyeia indicates. A suflh.ient number of
tfaofie whom it correctly ranks as An ti-Nebraska-
ites, will bi> fo uud. opposed to inoreaaiag the sec-
tionul exoitem.nt by voting for its repeal, and1 the
measure failing this year, the agitation will have
worn.itself out before a new Congress is called.
Lagkr Bier—How it is Made.—An interesting
lager bier trial came off in Petcrsburgh, Va., on
Saturday, in which interesting lager bier statistics
were brought out on oath, and may, thereforc.be
believed. Mr Solomon Keyaer was the defendant,
and was charged with keeping a disorderly bier saloon. A very respectable German witness in the
ca:?e, defiOj d what lnger bier waa. He said it waa
manul'acturedof malt and hops,.and'to make it better an extra amount of the latter are thrown in—
that was the bier. This compound was placed in a
barrel lined with a casing of rosin, and was laid in
a cellar, from which laying in store wa3 derived
the name lager. This was lager or "stock al*-*.—
The witnc--. thought it. might- 1. i..,..t a, m-iu, but

Railroad Poetry*.—A correspondent of the
Broome county Republican describes his jaunt over
the Syracuse and Binghamptonrailroad, from Cortland, in the following poetical strain:
So much I wrote in Cortland's bounds—and
would have finished there, had not the down train
whistle, resounded in the air. So shaking Fair-
child by tbe band, who said come up again, I bid
farewell to* e-rery fear, and jumped aboard the
train.- Rushing round the hill side, darting o'er
the plain* over the rivers and-under theroads, Van
Bergin-drove his train. The moon threw bright
effulgent rays, on each small ripple's crest - the
river seemed aribband stretched along-the _Heaow'_.

THE CRUSHED HEART.
BT  JOUN NEWLAND  MAFPIT.
Ah, poor, cnisli'd stricken heart! thou hast
No home., or friend ou earth
To cheer thee with their blandishment..,
Nor love, nor joy, nor mirth.
Park massy clouds obscure tho Ileav'aa—
The birds have ceased to sing—
While all thy thoughts are with the dead—
Poor heart with folded wing I
The hopes I cherislrd with delight,
"Which youthful fancy rears, -
That shone resplendent to my sight
To which I clung for years—
Are scattered like Autumnal leaves,
To be restored uo more,
Returnless, as the waves that dies
Upon the distant shore.
The frienda I priz;d the most, betray'd ;
While those who lov'd nie best,
Have long been in the church-yard laid,
With clods upon their breast—
And not a scene their presence -checr'd,
An hour they gave to me,
But seem by contrast more eudear'dj
To mock my misery.
And thus it is with Life's brief day
From childhood's earliest hour ;
The heart soon breaks in agony,
Ami withers like a flower.
Fhe no*..-. _-&_-0 lights the distant liilla
With beauty's kindling ray.
Till all our dreams of happiness fade,
Aud pass In haste away.
Ah, poor, chrush'd heart, it is too t/ue
Thy pulse of joy hath fled,
And all thy bright romantic droama
Are numbered with the dead.
The happy, blithesome hour_; long past.
That never will return.
Upon the present, shadows cast,
Like moonlight on an urn.
Oh, that I had not been—nor known
The beautiful and fair
That from this glorious earth hath flown,
And left me in despair 1
Oh. that the lov'd who still remain,
Had beeu as they, so true—*
Then this poor heart could not complain,
Nor death's dark presence woo.
The morning's past—the noon hath come—
The evening shadows 8y—
I'm tending to tho lonely tomb
Where all our sorrows die.
My wing is broken—spirit crush'd 1
Poor heart, thou'rt piere'd and riv'n !—
But all my woes will soon be hush'd
In yonder siarry Ileav'n.
SAY A KIND WORD WHEN" YOU CAPT.
BY PEBDEBICK TENNYSON.
What were life without some one to cheer us,
Without a word or a .-mile on our way,
And a friend who is faithfully near ns
Wheu all but true friends are away ;
The bravest of spirits have often
Half failed in the race they ran,
For a kind word, life's hardships to soften—
So say a kind word when yon can.
Each one of us owns to some failing,
Though some may have more than the rest;
But there's no good in heedlessly railing
'Gainst those that are striving their best;
Remember a word spoke complaining,
May blight every effort and plan,
Which a kind one would help in attaining,—
So say a kind word when you can.
Oh! say a kind word, then, whenever   ,
It will make a heart cheerful and glad,
But chiefly—forget it, oh, never !—
To the one that is hopeless aud sad,
For there is no word so easy in saying ;
So begin—if you hav'nt began—
And never in life be delaying
To say a kind word when .yon can.
It is a difficult thing to pay a neat compliment
to a pretty girl. Out West they never attempt it,
but put it on thick as follows:
"There is a girl in Benton county, Missouri, so
killing pretty that she has to wear around her
waist a spiked belt similar to those the farmers put
ou colts' heads to keep them from sucking. This
is the only means of keeping the young bucks from
•n-ISS'ng her to death, and even with this shield it
is said there is not a young gent in the neighborhood
that docs uot bear spike-marks on his arms.''
THE LAUGHING HERO.
AN INCIDENT  OF THE  MASSACRE AT  GOLIAD.
It was the morning of the 17th of March, 1830,
Aurora, mother of dews and mistress of golden
clouds, came, as she almost ever comes to the
living scenery of the plains of Goliad—a thing of
beauty, queen of the sky, on a throne of burning
amber, robed in the crimson of fire, with a diadem
of purple, and streamers of painted pink. Oh ! it
was a glorious dawn for the poet to sing of earth,
or the saint to pray heaven ; but poet's song nor
saint's prayer made the matins of the place and
the hour. Alas! no; it was a very different sort
of music.
A hundred hoarse drums roared the loud reveille
that awoke four huudred Texan prisoners and their
guard—four limes their number of Mexican soldiers—the b'litc of tho Chief Butcher's grand army,
The prisoners were immediately summoned t0
parade before the post, in the main street of the
village, and every eye sparkled with joy, and every
tongue uttered the involuntry exclamation of confidence and hope—" Thanks, Santa Anna ! He is
going to execute the treaty ! Wo shall be shipped
bock to the United States! We shall see our
friends once more!" Such were feelings which the
American volunteers, and the few Texans among
them, greeted the order to form into line.
The line was formed and then broken into two
columns, when every instrument of music in the
Mexican host sounded a merry march, and they
moved away with a quick step over the prairie
towards the west.
Five miuutes afterwards, a singular dialogue
occurred between the two leaders of the front columns of prisoners :
"What makes you walk so lame, Col. Neil? —
Are yon wounded?'' asked a tall, handsome man,
with blue eyes, aud bravery flashing forth in all
their beams.'
"Col. Fannin, 1 walk lama to keep from being
wounded; do you comprehend ?'" replied the other
with a laugh, and sueh a laugh as no words might
describe—it was so loud, so luxurious, like the
roar of the breakers of a sea of humor ; it was, in
short, a laugh of the inmost heart.
■' I do not comprehend you, for I am no artist in
riddles," rejoined Fannin, smiling himself at the
ludicrous gayety of his companion, so strangely
ill-timed.
" You discover that I am lame in each leg,"
said Col. Neil, glancing down at the members indicated, and mimicking tlie movements of a con-'
firmed cripple, as he laughed louder than ever.—
"And yet," he added in a whisper, "I have
neither the rheumatism iu my knees, nor corus on
my toe.3, but I have two big revolvers in my
boots!"
"That is a violation ot the treaty by whieh we
agreed to deliver up our arms," Col. Fannin mournfully suggested.
" You will see. however, that I shall need them
before the sun is an hour high," replied Neil.—
"Ah! Fannin, you do not know the treachery of
these base Mexicans.
At the instant the. gun rose in a sky of extraordinary brilliancy, and a million flower-cups flung
the-i' rich odors abroad over the green prairie, as
an offering to the lord of light, when the mandate
to "halt-" was given by one of Santa Anna's Aid's
and the two columns of prisoners were broken up
and scattered over the plain, in s.i:all hollow
squares, encircled on every side by Mexican infantry and troops of horse with loaded muskets and
drawn swords. And then came a momentary
pause, awful in its stillness, aud disturbed only by
an occasional shriek of terror, as the most timid
among the captives realized tho impending storm
of fire and extinction of life's last hope.
And then the infernal work of wholesale murder
was begun, and a scene ensued such as scarcely
might be matched in the very annals of hell itself.
The roar of musketry burst in successive peals
like appalling claps of thunder, but could not utterly drowu the prayers of the living, the screams
of the wounded, and more terrible groans of the
dying!
Col. Fannin fell among the first victims, but not
so the giant Neil. With the order of the Mexican
officer to his' men to fire, our hero stooped almost
to the earth, so that the volley passed entirely over
him. He waited not for a second ; thrusting a
hand into a leg of each boot, he arose with a
couple of six-shooters, the deadly revolvers, and
commenced discharging them with the quick rapidity of lighting into the thickest ranks of his
foes.
Panic stricken with surprise and fear, the Mexicans recoiled and obened a passage, through whieh
Neil bounded with the spring of a panther and
iled away as if wings were tied to his heels, while
half a dozen horseman gave chase. For a while
it seemed doubtful "whether the giant Colonel would
not distance even these, so much had the perils of
the occasion increased the natural elasticity of his
mighty muscles. But presently a charger fleeter
than the rest might be discerned gaining on his
human rival, and approaching so near that the
dragoon raised his sabre for a coup de grace.—
Neil became conscious of his danger, aud nastily
slackened his sp-**ed, till the hot stream of smoke
from the horse's nostrils appeared to mingle with
his very-hair; -."id then, wheeling suddenly, he
fired another rouid from a revolver, and the rider
tumbled from the saddle. Noil then renewed his
flight.
A mad yell of grief and rage broke from the
remaining troopers as they witnessed the fate of
Iheir comrade, aud its effect was immediately evident in the augmented caution of their pursuit—
for they galloped afterwards in oue body, thereby
greatly retarding their progress, so that Neil
reached the river before them. He paused not a
mon*cnt, but plunged headlong down the steep
bank into the current, and struck for the other
shore. The dragoons discharged their side-arms
ineffectually, -and gave over the chase.
In a few minutes Neil landed, and as soon as he
felt satisfied that he was really saved, burst into
an insuppressible convulsion of laughter, exclaiming : " It will kill kill me ! Just to see how aston"
ished the yellow devils looked when I hauled the
_-evolvers out of my boots !"
Such was Col. John Neil—possessing a fund of
humor that no misfortune could ever exhaust, and
a flow* of animal spirits which would have enabled
him to dance on the graves of all his dearest
friends, or to have sung Yankee Doodle at his
own execution.
I.ntc from Oregon.
By the Steam Ship Columbia, we have news to
lhe 26th ultimo. From the Statesman we clip the
following :
SEBlOBt. Oc-OTlHtENCB. General Palmer passed
through Servalles yesterday. He has effected treaties with all the Southern Indians.
Frora him we learn of the ftllowing melancholy
occurrence. On the 26. ult., at the mouth of
Rogue River, an Indian shot and wounded in the
shoulder a miner ofthe name of James Buford.—
Tho Indian was arrested by Ben Wright, Indian
Agent, and examined by a Justice and bound over.
The miners were anxious to lynch the Indian, and
declared their purpose to do it. U. S. troops were
sent for to assist the officer, and eleven men were
sent down. With them the Indian was placed in a
canoe, to be taken to the Council ground, and from
thence to Port Orford to await the sitting of the
Court. It was about dark that the canoe started
up the river. They had not been gone long before
another canoe was heard approaching them, in
which the forms of three men coulubc distinguished. They paddled alongside and fired, killing the
Indian in custody and another Indian that was
paddling. The soldiers then fired upon the aUodf-
ing canoe, and killed the three men instantly. They
proved to be James Buford, who was sliot by the
Indi.m, Mr. Hankins, partner of Buford, and one
O'Brien—trader. The last named had a wife at
Whale-burg, at the mouth of Rogue River.
An inquest was held upon the bodies ofthe three
men. Great excitement prevailed among the citizens.
Latest News from Gov. Stevens.—W. H. Pearson, Esq., of the Government express, arrived in
this city on-thursday last, direct fromFortBenton,
which place he left on the 30th of August. Mr. P.
has made the trip from the Dalles to Fort Benton
and back to this city, a distance of two thousand
miles, in thirty-five days. Gov. Stevens and party
were all well, and would remain at Fort Benton until the arrival of the supplies and goods, sent out
as presents to the Indians. Commissioner Cum-
mings arrived at Fort Benton from St. Louis, via
Yellow Stone river, on the 10th of August. A party had been sent out to invite the Crow tribe to the
council ground, with the view of making a treaty
between the Crows and the Blackfeet, Grosventres-
Pagans, Bloods, tfce. The Blackfeet, as is well
known, have for a long time been at war with all
the neighboring Indians, as well as hostile to the
whites.
Mr. Pearson thinks tho prospects of a treaty with
the Blackfeet are favorable.
Re tup. ned.—The Military expedition under command of Major Hallar, U. S. A., has returned in
safety to the Dalles.
Mrs. Captain Peck.—Such In the name upon
which a female, claiming to be the commander of
the canal boat Philander Jubupson, was arrested
yesterday, on a charge ot assault and battery upou
a Hercules named Sutters, .who differed with her
about his wages. The case was settled, and Mrs.
Catherine Peck, Captain of the Philander Jubupson, discharged. Two hours later she was re-arrested, charged with assaulting and attempting to
pitch into the canal the former owner of tbe Philander Jubupson, for daring to express his surprise
at her lack of punctuality in making instalments
in payment for the Philander Jubupson aforesaid,
as agreed to in the bill of sale. Residents, along
the liue ofthe Erie canal will do well to look out
for this Amazonian, Mrs. Catherine Peck. Captain
of the Philander Jubupson. She is a (i screamer," as the Hoosier would say.—Albany Argus.
Thus is Life.—If we die to-day, the sun will
shine as brightly, and the birds sing as sweetly tomorrow. Business will not be suspended a moment, and the great mass will not bestow a thought
upon our memories. Is he dei>d? will be the sol-
emu inquiry of a few as they pass to their work.
But no oue will missus except our immediate connections, aud iu a short time they will forget us,
and laugh as merrily as when we sat beside them.
Thus shall we all, now active in life, pass away.
Our children crowd close behind us. and they will
soon be gone. In a few years, not a living being
can say, I remember him ! Wo lived in another
age, and did business with those who slumber in
tbe tomb.    Thus is life.    How rapidly it passes.
"BarN-M's Baby Show is a humbug, and will
prove a failure iu Boston," exclaimed a man in our
hearing yesterday. " Shall you go to see it ?" wc
inquired.     '"Yes!" was the reply—" my wife and
diiuglifers are going to see the babies, and I'm going just to see tho humbug, but I don't believe
they'll make much, aad I kuow a thousand people
of the same opinion." " And every thousand that
attends," we. remarked, ';will pay Barnum $1_.,
let their opinion be what it may ; and as there will
at least, oue hundred thousand persons patronize

A. SICK  COtlMTRY FOR NERVOUS ______".
A Texas correspondent desaribes the domestic
productions of that favored land in glowing
terms:
Texas is the paradise of reptiles and creeping
things. Rattle and moccasin snakes are too nu-
merons even to shake a stick at ; the bite of the
former is easily cured by drinking raw whisky till
it produces intoxication ; but for the bite of the
latter there is no cure. The tarantula is a pleasant institution to get up a quarrel with. He is
a spider with a body about the size of hen's egg,
and legs five or six inches long, and covered with
long black hair. He lies in the cattle tracks, and
if you see him, move out of his path, for his bite is
absolutely certain death, and he never gets out of
the war, but cau jump eight or ten feet to inflict
his deadly bite. Then, there is the centipede, furnished with au unlimited number of legs, each leg
armed with a claw, inflicting a separate wound.
If he walks over you at night you will have cause
to repent it for many months to come, as the
wound is of a particularly poisonous nature, and
and vcrydificult to heal. The stinging lizard ia a
lesser evil, the sensation of its wound being likened to the application of red hot iron to the person,
but one is too thankful to escape with life to con-
aider that any annoyance. But the insects, flying,
running, jumping, creeping, digging, humming,
stinging, they are everywhere. Ask for a cup of
water, and the rejoinder in our camp invariably
is: "Will you have it with a bug, or wilhout
The horned frog is one of the greatest curiosities
here, and is perfectly harmless. It has none of
the cold, slimy qualities of its northen brethren
but is frequently made a pet of. Chameleons are
innumerable, darting over the prairies in every direction with inconceivable swiftness, and exercising their faculty of changing their color to correspond with the color of the object under which
they may be. The woods on tho banks of the bay-
ousare alive wi tli mocking birds, singing most
beautifully, and feathered game is abundant, and
very tame, as it is rarely sought after. The only
varieties that I have ever seen, are the quail, pa-
trldgc, snipe, mallard, plover and prairie hen.

A»sti*action of MiND.—Abstraction of the mind
and employment iu one puvsuit sometimes gives
rise to'odd occurrences. Of Dr. Robert Hamilton,
the author of a celebrated " E_say on the National
Debt," it is said that ho pulled off his hat to his
own wife iu the street, aud apologized for not hav-
htg the pleasure of her acquaintance ; that he went
to his classes in the college, ia the dark mornings,
-with one of her white stockings on one leg and one
of his black ones ou the other ; lhat he often spent
the who time uf meeting iu moviug from the table
the hats of the students, which they as constantly
returned. He would run againstacow in the road,
turn round, "beg her pardon, and hope she was not
hurt. At other times he would run against posts,
aud chide them for not getting out of his way.
There are those who believe that it is the especial interest of tho ■'' loved and lost" tobe hereafter the guardiati watchers of the living who are
left behind. Such a persuasion has dried many a
muorner's tear. In the overwhelming grief which
death brings, it is a relief unspeakable to think
that the lament parent, the cherished partner, or
the darling child are still with us, separated only
by a division thin as air, sympatizing us to holy
actions. Often ha? such a conviction cheeked the
rising thought of evil, and turned the tempting and
erring back to the paths of virtue. We would
fain believe that those sweet innocents who are
given to their parents for a while, and who are
theu taked away just as they have begun to weave
themselves about our hearts, are angels in diguise.
sent to wean us from earthly things and revive in
our souls the longing paradise. God spiritualize;
us iu this way, when all other means fail. There
arc praying mothers, whose sons are far away, to
whom this belief has sometimes come with peculiar beauty. Oh 1 what inexpressible joy to think
that guardian angels attend the wanderer in the
watches of the night, in the storm at sea, on. the
wide prairie, ou the black Sierra. Grown men,
separated by vast oceans from their early homes,
often feel as if some invisible presence was with
them—a presence as though a celestial spirit, won
by a mother's petitions, constantly protected their
footsteps. There is a German lenged which says
that each of us, at birth, has a guardian augel appointed, who remains with us untiil doath, unless,
driven away by our remorseless. Alas! for those
who have banished their invisible attendant. What
a dissolution theirs must be, as they go out into
the dark eternity to come, lonely wanderers, whom
no messenger from paradise takes hy the hand.—

Sl.CCE_.3Ft:., SEittOH Aftek Pirates.—H. M. S. S.
Rattler, says the Register, of Aug. 1. which had
gone ia search of pirates, had returned. In attempting to overhaul a large junk, supposed to be
the flag ship of the head man of a squadron of
seventeen, four other vessels, two of which were
the Lorchas of the Eaglet's convoy, were allowed
to get away, after being at the Rattler's mercy.—
The Rattler, steaming between Tylo and Cow-kok,
iiad just sighted Kuian eastern head, when it was
found there was not sufficient water to go in further, and she had to return, the pirates in saucy
bravado, saluting the Rattler with iheir broadsides
as she hove about. Yesterday afternoon the Rattler again left, towing the Eaglet and two of Iho
U. S. S. Powhatan's pinnaces, with ninety small
arm men aud marines of the Powhatan's crew.
Battle with PttiATEs.- The same paper, of tho
7th of August, gives the following additional
facts:
The particulars of the last cruise of the Rattler
have not yet reached us. but we uuderstad that her
last expedition, in which she was accompanied by
a detachment of boats from the U. S. Steamer
Powhatan has resulted very seriously, uo less than'
six seamen and marines havicg been killed and
sixteen wounded in the affray with the pirates near
Kulan. Commander Fellowes, Lieut. Regram, of
the Powhatan, and other officers, narrowly escaped
death from the blowing up of a junk, alongside of
which they chanced to be. Ten of the piratical
flats were destroyed, but not until the greater part
of their crews had been killed, and eleven captured
trading junks were released. Sixteen of the smaller piratical junks escaped.
Prqc.-___- of the REHELr.iox.—Dates had bean
received from Shanghai to the 25 July. The Pekiu
Gazettes report the usual amount of success on
either side, aud the degredation of some unfortunate generals.    Nothing decisive had takeu place.
WHO ABU ix the Majority.—J. Neely Johnson,
according to the returns, has been elected Governor, and the Know Nothings claim his election, as
a victory. Well, this must be admitted to be true,
but it is their last, aud except as to the immediate
power conferred, of no consequence. That this
State is as thoroughly Democratic as ever it was
we have not the least doubt, nor can a doubt upon
the subject be entertained by any reflecting mind
on the side opposed to us. The State Journal has
entered into a calculation on the subject, which we
think is not only plausible but conclusive. "From
almost every county iu the State," it says, ''reports
reach us of Know Nothing outrages and frauds
perpetrated at the polls on the day of election,
aud assurances are given that every material fact
will in due time be spread be foi o the people. Tho
vote returned will not fall far short of 100,000,
being an increase of nearly 20,000 ever the election of 1853. aud about 20,000 over tlie vote of
last year. The vote cast for Gov. Uigler will
reach 45,000. being a majority of nearly 8,000 on
the Congressional vote of 1815. It should also
bo remembered, that by the decision of the Supreme Court not less than six thousand naturalized
citizens were denaturalized—some on the ground
that their papers had been destroyed or lost, and
others, and a greater number,because their papers
were declared illegal, having been issued by the
County Courts, Courts of Sessions and Supreme
Court. Add these six thousand to the vote of Gov.
Bigler. (for no man with a K. N. ticket in his hand
was excluded ft ora'voting,) and we have 51,000
votes, being a clear majority over Johnson's vote,
as reported. The estimate of votes excluded by
tbej decision of the Supreme Couit is made upon
the best data attainable, and we think is rather
under thau over the mark.'-'—[.Times and Tran.

ChaxG-KQ the Name of a Po st Office.—Another
regulation of the Post Office Department, to whieh
our attentiou has been called, directs that when
the Post-master General shall change the name of
an existing post office the order will not take effect
until the post-master shall have executed new
bonds and returned them to the appointment off.ee.
When the bond shall have been thus executed and
returned, the name designated by the Post-master
General will be used from and after the firs', day of
the next succeeding quarter. But no post-master
ran change the name of his office without the order
of tbe department , and be is expected to be particular in seeing uone other substituted. He must not
remove the site of the office from tiie usual post
road, or make any material change in such eite,
withcut the consent of the department.
Registered Letters.—Several weeks ago wo
stated that post-musters should make no record or
marks upon registered letters by whieh the fact of
their containing money or other -valuables may be
suspected or made known, some pust-masters having written the word '-registered" upon the batks
of letters. Our attention has again been called to
thje feot, inconsequence of some post-masters still
continuing to so endorse letters mailed at tbeir offices, and we have been requested to say that it is
contrary lo the postollice instructions thus to distinguish a registered letter. We were informed
that in some offices a stamp had been ustd.
