Ou the 21st ot August, lhe steamship Hermann,
formerly belonging to the United Stales niiiilline
between New York, Southampton and Bremen,
was to he dispatched from New York, to take pi\s-
fjemgerg for f*taser river at moderate prices.
Tlie Hermann will be the pioneer ship of the
California, New York and European steamship

In the Court of Common Pleas, New York; on
the 28th ult,, a motion was made before Judge
Hilton to diseherge the order of the forfeiture of
the hail of William Mulligan, who made his exit
from tlie Court of Sessions, sans ceremonie, when
about to he tried for an assault on Mr. Webb, one
of the members of the late San Francisco Vigilance Committee. The Judge reserved his decision until Friday, July 30th, w"neu He aeniea ibe
motion.
We learn from Toronto, C. W., that the Canadian Government was defeated on the nightof the
28th July, on the seat of Government question,
the House annulling the decision ofthe HomeGo-
verLUient fo mrkc Ottawa the capital. Next morning the Ministry resigned.
The U. S. steam sloop-of-war Brooklyn, the first
of the five which was authorized to be built by
aet of Congress of March 3, 1857, was lauuehed
from the Weslervelt ship yard, foot of Houston,
street, New York, on the morning of the 27th of
July. Miss Emma Westervelt christened her tbe
" Brooklyn," mid enthusiastic cheers.
It has at last been definitely decided that the
five new sloops-of-war, for which appropriations
were made at the recent session of Congress, will
be constructed at the following places: One at
Pensacola, one at Norfolk, one at Kittery. Maine,
one at San Francisco, (side wheel, and to draw
three or four feet of water.) one at Philadelphia.
General^ Walker has written a letter in which he
again asserts that lhe Secretary ol War made overtures to him, through Gen. Henningsen, to turn
his talents in another direction—towards Mexico,
or Cuba, for iustance, and he would have the support of the Government. He was astounded at
the proposal, and would have discredited it had it
not been made to a man in whom he had the most
unbounded confidence, and whom he honors as a
man of integrity and honor—General Henningsen.
The Secretary of War, since Walker's letter appeared, denies that he ever said anything to Henningsen about Mexico to justify the assertions* of
Walker in his letter. Mauy are of opinion that
Henningsen, being a foreigner, may not have un"
derstood the Secretary properly ; or that his im.
agination may have helped him to such conclu
sions.
General Walker was, at latest accounts, in Mo-
;bile ; and although at present there does uot appear to be the most remote hope of his again being President ot Nicaragua, yet he ardently believes that he will, at no distant day, govern that
country.
The President has appointed John Nugent, editor of the San Francisco Herald, agent to proceed
to Fraser river,_tO make proper representations to
citizens of the United States, with the view ol
preventing collisions or outbreaks in that quarter-
our government being satisfied, from official and
other sources, that a liberal policy will be pursued them by the British authorities.
The Mormons.—Gen. Johnston entered Salt Lake
city on the 26th nit; FroVo was still'trie rallying
point of the Mormons, though they had been earnestly invited to return and take possession of then-
deserted homes.
The army was ordered not to leave the ranks
when entering Salt take City';' the herds should not
be allowed to trespass on the fields, and good order
should be maintained.
The most peaceful feeling3 were said to prevail
at Salt Lake city between Brigham Young and the
United States Peace Com mission ers, between whom
a daily communication was kept up.
Brigham Young had returned1 to Salt Lake city
and the heads of the church and their followers
were following. Reports of gold deposits in the vicinity of St. Varian's Fort were made by some of
the returning teamsters, but not' much credit w;is
given them. Gen. Johnston had passed through
the city, and encamped th rty miles' beyond: Brig-
han Young waa anxious to be tried for treason, provided the jury should consist of Mormons only.
Doctor Forney, Superintendent of Indian Affairs
for Utah, informs the Interior Department that the
fifteen children belonging to the train of emigrants
who were murdered at Sweet Water, had been
found and ransomed by the whites from the Indiana-
Early in June four Germane were murdered eighty
miles from rait Lake city, supposed by tho Indians,
who it was reported, were creating difficulties on
tbe southern route to California. Dr. F; intended
visiting them with a view to their pacification.
Kansas.—Mr. Rush Elmore has been appointed
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas,
in place of Judge Cato, resigned. Mr. E. was removed from that position by General Pierce.
Gen. Calhoun has issued certificates of election to
all persons elected under the Lecompton constitution, by which the Free State party have a majority
in both branch s of lhe Legislature.
A man named John B. Scoggins, notorious as the
leader of a band of horse thieves and robbers in the
south, has been arrested in Leavenworth, and messengers had been sent to Fort Scott to procure evi.
dence against him. Several murders are charged
to have been committed by Scoggins, both in Fort
Scott county aud on the Big Blue.
Last accounts from the city of Mexico, via New
York, state that President Zuloaga was preparing
to fly from Mexico. Several of the ministers had
resigned, and seut off their families, and Zuloaga
whs at a convenient place in the suburbs, from
which to leave. The operations of Gen. Miramon
already defeated in the west, were looked to as
the only hope of the executive. Reports from
most of the Slates exhibit a sad state of anarchy
and cenfusion. Surveys were, however, being
made for the construction of the railroad from
Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico.
In Massachusetts, the Anti-Lecomptonites have
;reed to unite on a Union ticket, in opposition
to the Democracy.
ie American State Council were to meet in
York early in August. The members of the party
•*ere to he left to vote as they pleased at this election, preparatory for a general organization for
the campaign of 1860.
On Saturday, July 2-lth, Vice-President Breck-
lridge made a speech at Florence, Kentucky, in
hich he entered upon a general review of national rjolitics. He defended the administration against
the charges ot extravagant expenditure, discoursed of Lecompton, berated the Republicans, and
closed with an appeal to the Know Nothings to
refrain from affiliation with the Republican party.

Australian Heat,—The Sumter (S. C.) Watch
man publishes the following extract from a private letter, dated Adelaide, Feb. 18, 1858 :
"I can assure you we have been nearly roasted
alive ; we have had ten days and night3 of (lie
hottest weather remembered for several years past
The heat at noon in the shade was 13G° to 14(i°,
according tb situation, and during the night il
was never less than 94° to 106° in doors. Tht
hot wind never ceased blowing, and the innumerable deaths from coup de soliel have been appall--
iug in the extreme.
The assessed value of taxable lauds in Mississ
ippi iu 1857, was $141,749,429, being an increase
since 1854 of $50,126,275. Tlie number of taxable
slaves assessed in the same year was 368,182, or
18.456 more than in 1856. At $600 apiece, this
would make the slave population of lhe State
worth the immense sum of §220,902,200, or more
than all the landed property.
Providential Escape.
When Gen. Wayne took command of th« expe:*
dition destined to act against  the Indiana of tht'
north-west, he was fully aware of the difficulties
which lay in his way, and the almost insufmotfnt'
able obstacles to be overcome. The enemy againit
whom he bad now td contend, pursued a vastly
different mode of warfare from that which he  had-
ecently fought, and vigilance, subtletyyand'cun-'
uing, were of fat greater need1 iii the commander
of such an expedition, than the ortiiodox  skill of
military chief.    It was highly  necessary to be:
constantly on the alert to  prevent surprise ; and1
uard against  the machinations of his crafty
he organized several corps of spies, composed
-•.ome  of the   most   efficient  and  experienced
woodmen and Indian hunters which the  frontiers'
was'
I given to men distinguished for' intrepidity1 aiid
coolness iu danger. Among others who merited
and obtained this honor, was Captain William'
Wells, who had been taken prisoner by thelndiatiff
whi'e a child, and brought up under their tutelage
until he ariived at maturity. He had been en-'
gaged in the action with St. Clair, and command-"
ed a select body of the enemy, ?.ho were stationed-
opposite the artillery, and did fearful execution1
among the cannoneers: Feeling assured, alter
that event, that the whites would take a bloody
revenge, and anticipating their uHitnate'success'
in the contest, he left the Indians and joined'
Wayne's army. His knowledge of the country, of
the Indian language, and, above a!l,df'theirhabits
and mode of fighting, pointed him out ns an effi*-*
cient and valuable scout. Among his men waa
one hy the name of Henry Miller, who likewise-
had served'an: apprenticeship with the Indians,
but had escaped, leaving his younger Btothe^
Christopher—who had refused to fly—in their
hands. The cofps of Capt. Wells performed many
deeds of valor and bravery during the campaign,'
which raised them high in the estimation of thoT
commander, and excited against him the implaca1'
ble hostility of the Indians.
On one occasion, he was directed by Wayne id'
bring in an Indian prisoner. Selecting a few of'
his band, he started ou liis perilous duty. Cau-'
tiously and secretly they proceeded through the
Indian country, hoping to surprise a straggling-
party, but met none with whom they could cope,'
until they reached the Atigiaise River on tho
banks of which thoy discovered ludian s'ign.-
Searching carefully ia the neighborhood, they
came upon a party of three Indians', gathered'
about a small fire, cooking venison. They had'
judiciously selected their camp, having located it
ou the apex of a small knoll, or mound, which1
was cleared of under brush, and gave theni'a1 free
and uninterrupted view of the woods around them,-
thus rendering it difficult to approach withoutbe-'
Ing discovered. Wells, Miller and McClellan care-'
fully reeonuoife'red their position, and, in doing-
so, discovered a fallen tree on one side of their
camp, which afforded the only cover within rifle
distance of Ihem. It was a delicate affair to gain'
the shelter of its branches without being seen,
which would frustrate their design. Wells determined to attempt it, however ; and, dismounting'
and tying their horses, they commenced to creep'
on all fours in a zig-zag direction, taking ativan-'
tage of every inequality of ground, every shrub'
aiidrock; to shelter and conceal'their approach.-
ill this manner, after much exertion, they reached
the tree, and for the time were covered by its
branches. Here they arranged their plan, and
prepared for its execution. One of the Indians
was"on bis bauds and'knees, mendidg the fire!;
another was seated upposite to him, engaged in
conversation with the third, who was standing in'
front ofthe fire,-and between tho others. All ap-"
peared to be in the best oI spirits, in anticipation1
of their meal, and little dreamed'oithe proximity
of danger.-
It was arranged lhat Wells and Miller were to'
shoot the two on either side ofthe' fire, While McClellan, wbo was as fleet as a deer, was to charge'
through the smoke atidi cabture the Centre one,-
ere he bad-time to recover his first surprise. Rest-'
ing their rifles on the trunk of the tree, they aim-'
ed at fhe hearts of their foes, and in a raonfe'nf
.wo reports awoke the echoes of the surrounding
forest aud McClellan was bounding at his utmost;
speed toward tlie camp. Two ofthe redskiiia fell-
dead, while the .third, discovering the rapid ap-
pioach of the int*repid hunter, dropped his rifle,-
which he had not lime to use, ami fled towards
the river, which, at tbe point be approached' it,-
had banks twenty feet in height. MuClellau was .
at his heels, however, followed hy the others of'
the party. There was no opportunity to double,
aud the Indian was lorced to leap off into the mud1
and water below. Here be stuck fast, floundering
and trying to get out, McClellan, discovering
his situation, sprang upon him, aud as the other
drew his knife, he raised- his tomahawk, and
threatened him with instant death Unless'he sur-'
rendered. Tlie i est of the party appearing on-the
bank above, the Indian fouud his escape hopeless",-
and yielded himself a prisoner, after considerable exertion, they managed to drag both out of
the mire, and bound their prize, who proved sulky
and refused to speak either in tlie English of In1
dian tongue. In washing the mud off his person,-
they discovered that he was a white man, but thoy

could leiiru nothing ot his history, as ho still-re-
lustd lo apeak. Miller, thii.king it might be hia^
brotber, whom he had left among the Indians, rodu
up along side o!" him and called him by his Indian1
name. The effect was ingtaoeoafr. He started,-
turned toward his brolbe, and eagerly demanded,-
in the Indian tongue, hew he came to know his'
name. Tbe other easily explained the mystery,-
aud the brothers were locked iu each other's arms
the next moment. Tbeir prisoner was. indeed,
ChriBtophtr Miller, wbo,-by oue of those provided-"
tial occurrences by which tbe white man seems to-
be protected from danger, while the red man itf
fated to extinction, had escaped instant death,
perhaps, at ihe bauds of his own brother. Haib
his situation in camp been different—had he been
on e.ther side of the fire, instead of iu the centre
ofthe group, his death had been inevitable. Alter
scalping Hie t^o dead Indians, the party returned
io be..utpiavters with their prisoner, and he was
ordered to be confiued iu the guard-house by
Wayne, who interrogated liim in regard to the intentions of lbe Indians. Hr. remained tor Boma
