A pair-of poiuitii*; chewy lips
To kiss upon the sly.
Oh, let tbem build their lofty rhyme
As e'en eo e'er tbey may j
But give aae Btill

Another word io Bay ;
Nuw here to all,
Tall, ial* and nawdt,
I vow I'd rather die

Owen's Kivek. — Considerable attention is being
■directed at Uie present lime to the   Owen's   Elver
■country,to the south-of Carson City.    Owen's River
flows ibTo&gt'. oae of tbe mast deBghtfal valleys on
the eastern slope of tbe Sierra Nevada..    The valley
ia about 149 miles long, with an avenge width   of
teu miles.    It is not cone&ered  niinoral,   and   has
■beea'brought und.-r government survey   and sec-
tionalized; it is found   to   contain  5*92,04fl  eer^S.
200,000 oi which   ifi   very  -superior   agrieultural
land.    O.veu's River takea its rise in Mono county
about forty miles from Aurora.    Tlie  upper bunks
of the river contain an   immense   amount, of  tbe
finest timber in the world, whieh will soon  beoom8
very valuable n*a source ol supply for the extensive agiicultural interest wbich is soon to grow up
in the valley, as well as for the   mines   whicli    are
located   *loBB *« baaecif   the   Inyo   Mountains
throughout   Its   entire bonier.    At   the souiberu
extremity tf ihe valley is Owen's Luke,  a beautiful sheet of water into which   Ibe   river   empties.
Tbis lake is about twenty miles loag   by   eighteen
broad.  Tberiver, witb slight   improvements, may
be made navigable lor a small class ol steamboats,
at all (stages of water, throughout the entire Ien gib
*f the valley-, ami, with the lake,   affords   ft   most
admirable ckaiu of imerciinimtnreation    Irora   one
■extreme of tire valley lo lhe oiher.    This valley is
from 4,000 to ■0,000 feet below tbe summit   ol the
Sieras, possesses a line climate, and is fast filling up
by agriculturalists. The new -comers express tbem-
selves well   pleased  with the country, and   with
the mining praspects aro'und them, to   which tbey
look for a market lor their   produce.    Vegetables
of every kiud can be raised in great abundance, us
■well as all the cereals.    Ko further   trouble is apprehended from the Indians, nearly  all   of  whom
toave   been   removed to    the   Tejon   Reservation.
Portions of tbe vailey are covered, at   Hie   present
time, with most luxuriant crops ol' red-fop clover,
herd grass, etc.. all the natural productions   ofthe
-soil.—Mining and Scientific Press.

VIRGINIA NOT THE   SECOND  HlSHEST ClTY IN THE
"World.—'Tisa mistaken notion of many persons,
says the Enterprise that tbeie is but one^ity in the
world ofa greater altitude   than  Virginia.    Thi8
was frequently said of this place a year or two ago,
aud mauy believe it to be the fact.    Having heard
the old error repeated within tbe past duy or two,
We have concluded to correct it by giving the altitude of a lew of the highest   habitable   parls  of
the globe.    The city said to be the only one in the
whole world higher than Virginia was  Quito.    It
will be seen that there are   two   cities   or   tow as
much higher than Quito, and a number   of platy s
a great deal uearer heaveu   than   Virginia,     The
city ol Quito is 9.520 leet above the   level   of  the
sea ; the ciiy of Mexico, 7,400 ; the ciiy of Milcul*
pamba, 11,850.   The following places are sUoated
between ihe two chains of Andes, in   Upper Peru-
at some 350 miles distance Irom the   Pacific : City
of Puuo, 11.080 feet above the level   of   the   sea ;
town oi PotOBi, 18,850 ;   mines of   Potosi 16.080 :
Titiaca Lake. 12,760 ;   boose   of  Tiliaca   14.402,
The hi»ht ol Virginia city,  on B   street   is   fi.UT
ieet; therefore it will be seen tbat we lack a number of last of beinir the second highest city in   the
world—even tbe city of Mexico is 1.253 feet above
QB.    The lop of Mount Davidsou is but   7.848   feet
above lhe level of l\_e nea.

A Prediction Fulfilled. — Henry
Laurens was President of the Continental ^Congress in 1779. In 1780 hi
was sent as Minister to Holland. Un
his way hewas eaptured, and imprisoned in the tower of London for fourteen
months. When Lord Shelburne became
Premier, Laurens was brought up, on
habeas corpus, and released. .After his
release he was treated with great kindness and respect by the British authorities. He dined with Lord Shelburne.
After dinner the conversation turned
on the separation ofthe two countries.
Lord Shelburne remarked:
'•I am sorry for your people." "Why
so?" asked Laurens. "They will lose
the habeas corpus" was thc reply "Lose
the habeas corpus!"saidLaurens. "Yes/'
said Lord Shelburne. "We purchased
it with centuries of wrangling, many
years of fighting, and had it confirmed
by at least fifty acts of Parliament. All
this taught the nation its value, and it
is so ingrained into their creed, as the
very foundation of their liberty, tbat no
man or party will ever dare trample on
it. People will puk it up and attempt
to use it; but having cost them nothing,
they will not know how to appreciate
it. Atthe first great international feud
that you have, the majority will trample upon it, and the people will permit
it to be dono, and so will go your liberty."—Published Journal of Henry Lau-
rens.
It is enough to make the cheek of
every American tingle with shame, for
the Englishman's prediction has been
verified The people have suffered an
administration to disregard the habeas
corpus and trample upon their liberty.
Bio Gun Failures.—Gen. Gilmore's
great 300-pounder Parrott gun (the
'swamp angel') burst atthe seventh discharge.    The strain  was   too great for
en iron to endure. So of the big 10
inch rifle of the Mahaska—it exploded
like the other. Both of the Whitworth
guns, on the Naval Battery alsoexplod-
ed, one of them killed4 gunners. These
great guns, requiring charges of 70 to
100 pounds of powder, and firing a bolt
so enormously heavy, aie evidently incapable of bearing the tremendous strain
that is put upon them.
A Coquette.—A contributor to the
Wheeling Gazette asserts that when he
hears ofa coquette's marriage, he is reminded ol the custom of marrying Venice to the sea, which in spite of the
ceremony, is as free to all flaga as before.
The Shelling of Chattanooga—
Scene in Church.—The Chattanooga
Mebel ofthe 22d August says :
One ofthe most impressive scenes we
have ever witnessed occurred in the
Presbyterian church on yesterday. The
services were being held by the Kev. Dr.
Palmer of .New Orleans, and the pews
and aisles were crowded with officers
and soldiers, private citizens, ladies and
children. A prayer had boen said and
one ofthe hymns sung. The organist
was absent, "and I will be thankful/'
continued the minister, "if some one in
tho congregation will raise the tune."
The tune was raised, as in days gone
by; the sacred notes in humble melody
from the house ot  God,   swelling  their
Uow Abolition Sentiment ia Man-
irfacfured.
The Boston Post has received % com-
municatioa from a Nuw England gentleman, who declares that he writes
from a Bense of duty, giving an account
ofthe manner in which Abolition sentiment is manufactured, that to say the
least, is curious, if true, and we seo no
reason to doubt its veracity. Tne writer says, in substance, that in June last
he was in a small village a few miles
from Nashville* Tenn. At the hotel
there was a smart Yankee correspondent of a radical Philadelphia paper, with
whom he hecame intimate—so much io,
that the correspendent used to read his
letters to our correspondent before lending them away, and request   his  jndg-
holy tribute to his glory, and dying away   ment upon them.    The  writer   saya he
was perfectly dumbfounded by ono, in
which was recited a secesh outrage localized in the very village both wore in
and at about that very date. Shooting
helpless old men and wemen, violating
daughters of Union men, hanging the
fathers in sight of their children, &c,
formed the various topics, and were
dressed up with devilish ingenuity to
"curdle the blood" ofthe reader.—Our
co-respondent said, "You surely are not
going to send that to any editor in
Pennsylvania™areyou'(" "Certainly,"
was the reply; "we know that tho
northern peoplo are opposed to aa Abolition war, and we must have something
to spit in the face ofthe infernal Copperheads. Why,sir,such a narratiye as
I have just read to you would do moro
towards silencing a d—d Copperhead
than the best speech that ever Wendell
Phillips made, or all the letters Horace
Greeley ever wrote. I tell you if we
intend to wipe out slaveholders we have
got to make the northern people mad
and silence the Copperheads. I trust 1
have done something in that way myself, and I mean to do more. Tell
the truth sir ! Why wo must do anything to subdue the South." The foregoing our friend says, is the Philadelphia's exact language, and he reports
it to show what an infernal spirit actuates the radical journalists. Thia
young man, he observes, was apparently ofa mild disposition, companionable and obliging, but on the subject Of
the war was a perfect monomaniac.
Our correspondent expresses his belief
if the great body of the people of tke
free States for a moment understood all
the instrumentalities that have been at
work to madden them, there would bo
such a storm of indignation set in motion as would astonish all demagogues
at the next appeal to the ballot box,
when those bits of paper
'•Eiecule thi; fr-semmi's nod
Ao lightoiii|j doeij tbe will of God,"
at last like the echoes of departed days
The second or what is knowu as the
long prayer, was begun when out upon
the calm, still air, there came an alien
sound—the sullen voice ofa hostile gun
—ringing from the north bank of the
river and echoing back among tho far-off
glens ol Lookout peak. It was Budden
—it took every one by surprise; for
few if any expected the approach of an
enemy. The day was one of fasting and
prayer; the public mind was upon its
worship. Its serenity had not been
crossed by a shadow, and it was not until another and another of those unchris,
tian accents trembled in the air, and
hied themselves away to the hills, that
it was generally realizod that the enemy
were shelling the town. Without a
word of warning, in the midst of church
service, while several thousands of men
and women thronged the many places
of public worship, the basest of human
foemen had begun an attack upon a city
crowded with hospitals and refugees
from the bloody pathway of their n: arch
and in no wise essential to a direct assault.
There was a little bustlo and disturbance in the galleries; the noise in the
streets grew moro distinct and louder:
near the doors several persons who had
other duties, military or domestic, to
attend to, hastily withdrew; the mass
ofthe congregation, however, remained
in their places; and the man of God
continued his prayer. It was impressive in the extreme. There he stood, an
exile preacher from the far South, with
eyes and hands raised to heaven; not a
sign of confusion, exitement or alarm ;
naught but the calm, Christian face uplifted and full of unconsciousness to
all save its devotions which beams from
the soul of true piety. Not only the occasion, but the prayer was solmnly, eloquently impressive. Tbe reverend doctor prayed, and his heart was in his
prayer; it was tho long prayer, and he
did not shorten it; he prayed tothe end,
and the cannon did not drown it from
those who listened, as they could not
drown it from tho ear of God.—>He
closed, and then, without panic or consternation, although excited and confused, the dense crowd separated, whilst
hells were falling on the right and left,
Thk Homestead Act.—As there
seems to be quite a misunderstanding as
to the bearing of the Homestead Act
upon the rights of pre-emptors under
former acts we have obtained thefollowing information from the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, upon which
all the decisions of that office are based.
When a party has made an actual location, by pre-emption or other wise, in
virtue ofa bounty land warrant, he
cannot lift the land warrant and enter
under the Homestead Act, because, having elected to satisfy his claim to a
specific tract of land by locating a warrant, he must abide by his own act. A
pre-emptor who has filed a declaratory
patent cannot convert his pre-emption
into a homestead claim. A proviso in
the sixth section of tho homestead law
of May 20, 1862, is specific on this point
n declaring that all persons have a
•ight to make exchange if they have
filed their declaratory patent" prior to
the act of May 20, 1862.—Where the
parties have filed since the passage oi
the law, they have no right to mako the
exchange, and consequently when any
person abandons his pre-emption tin-
land is freely open to the first home
stead settlor that may apply for it—
Ntu> York Tribune.
Drafted Men in Chain-Gangs.—Referring to one ofthe spec-tales of chain-
gangs of,soldiers passing through the
National Capital, the Washington Con.
stitutional Union says: We have often
read and heard stories of negroes handcuffed and marched in chain-gangs from
one place of slave labor to another.
The narrators of these exhibitions aL
ways seemed to regard them as atrocities, abominable to the eye of civilization and Christianity. During long sojourns in various parts of theSouth,and
frequent visits to divers slave States, we
never witnessed a chain-gang of negroes. Tho privilege of beholding a
double row of men hand-cuffed and
chained marching along tho streets has
been reserved for our vision til! these
days of negro ascendancy; but the men
so chained are white men. Tho "loyal"
press are inspired with no expression of
horror at these exhibitions. No! They
would belie their proclivities if they
manifested any kindness fbr the poor
white man, or any indignation at inflictions on his rights and privileges.
A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says: "I have got authority for
stating that over one thousand persons
whose names have been published in
the papers as having been drafted in
this city, havo left for the British Provinces."
Senator Toombs of Georgia, ma Tetter
written only last month, says of reunrom;
"I can conceive of no extremity to*
which my country1 can: be reduced in
which I would S)ra single moraent en*-
tertain any pjroponition' for any union
with the No£th oci any terai»whatever;.'*'
