The preparation which Baroii Mullet is mak
ing in Mexico to ascend the Volcano of Fopo
catapetl has brought to the notice of the Mex
ican papers Severn! ascents of that mountain
that bin e lately been mode. The gentleman is
a young Prussian nobleman, who is ambitious
of following in the footsteps of Baron Humboldt.
He commenced his travels by a journey into the
interior of Africa, ascending the Nile as i'ar as
the fourth degree of north latitude, in 1841).—
On his return, though only twenty-five years of
age, he was elected a member of the Royal Geo
graphical Society of London, and admitted as a
memtier of many other scientific institutions.—
His African Journal has been printed for the
private use of the Kiug of Prussia, but has uot
been published. He has been for some time
traversing the Republic of Mexico, verifying
Baron Humboldt’s scientific data, and gathering
statistical information to compare the present
condition of that country with Us material, so
cial and political state fifty years since, as ob
served by the Nestor of travelers.
On the 26tli of September last, a French gen
tleman, Mr. Thomas Lorre, and l)ou Gasper
Sanchez Ochoa, a Mexican engineer, ascended
to the crater of Popocatepetl, and went down
into it as far as the the point called the Devil's
Backbone. Senor Ochoa narrowly escaped a
horrible death in this enterprise. On tins in
cline plaiu descending to the fiery pit, his feet
slipped and he found himself sliding into the
crater. Had lie losfhis presence of mind ho
would have been lost, but by a desperuto exer
tion he recovered his footing, and roturned al
most from the very margin of the unfathomable
abyss. Senor Ochoa, and his companion, ns al
so al! their attendants, were blind for more than
forty-eight hours after' their adventure.
Scverul attempts lmvo been mode in past
years by a mechanic of Amecumeca, named
Jose Maria Lara, to dcFcehd into the crater of
this volcano. He ascended the mountain Ri.x
times, each time taking a different route, and
incurring many dangers, hut never succeeded
in reaching the summit until 1848. Dr. Ygua
cio Reyes, a merchant of the same place, hear
ing of his success, urged him to make another
attempt. The following is Lara’s narrative of
the adventure, which is worthy of preservation
from its unpretending simplicity:
“Accompanied by Antonio Garcia, Miguel
l’arilla, Vicente Pa'rilla, and three other stout
peous, I reached the crater, and fastening a
rope round my waist, descended a short dis
tance. By observing with a spy-glass, I saw
that, the rope was not long enough to enable me
to reach the bottom. We then returned to the
village to make another rope, und having fin
ished 102 yards long, we again ascended the
mountain. On reaching the mouth of the cra
ter we rolled down a great many boulders,
for without this preliminary operation no one
would dare decend to the bottom. In this work
we employed three days, and on the last day,
Garcia and 1 rail great danger by the breaking
of a large luver we were using in rolling a great
stone. Garcia fell tlut on his back und 1 on my
face; but the Supreme Being favored us, and
we were enabled to stop our rolling into the
profound deep by Garcia’scatching hold of my
feet, and I of his.
“We then went down the mountain a little
way, and with the boards we had taken for the
purpose T built a little hut near to the summit.
There we passed the night, suffering from the
cold and from the sharp wind that penetrated
to the very bones. At sunrise we returned to
the top and commenced to drill two holes in the
clifT to secure the provisional apparatus that was
to serve for the descent. Everything being ar
ranged Garcia and I disputed as to who should
go down to the bottom, and we at last agreed
Unit he should have it because lie lnul a know
ledge of mineral formations, and that I should
take care of his life by directing the operations
of the peons who managed the rope.
“He then went down, mil after we had payed
out fifty yards of rope he called to us to stop,
which we did, and lie went under the edge of the
dims, or perpendicular rocks that there form a
wall, and gathered some pieces of it. Being
lowered down again, lie cried out to stop, just
as we laid payed out the other fifty yards of
rope. One of the peons then told me that by
rubbing against the rocks two strands of the
rope were cut. I then tied another cord round
my waist and was lowered down to place some
thick sandals, which one of the peons had, un
der the rope where it Was rubbing against the
rock. This was not sufficient, and before we
got through, the friction wore away the beelsof
my shoes which I placed there.
“Garcia reached the foot of the rocks, and
letting go the rope, went down part way an in
clined plane of stones and sand that descended
four hundred yards to the principal breathing
holes of tlie mountain. This plane is very steep
and the stones that fall down to it make a noise
like bails from a cannon. He gathered some
hot pieces of Hulplmr. We got happily out, and
returned to the village full of joy. to inform Se
nor Reyes that the rumored wealth of the vol
cano in snlphur was true.
“I afterwards made another ascent to build
a small woodeu house. When it was half built
it began to snow violently, mid a huricana blew
that lifted up the thick planks and threw them
round as though they were straws. The snow
storm continued and wo had to remain sixty
hours under the boards and covered with snow.
We were accompanied by Seuor Corchndo, who
opposed any one’s endeavoring to descend the
mountain, in which he was right, for no one
could have kept his feet, and could only have
descended sliding on his back or beliy, and
jumping from rock to rock, tearing his clothes
with the sharp islclcs. The descent is between
three and four thousand Spanish yards.”
Lara's eight ascents of the mountain have
made him a practical guide, and he is to accom
pany Baron Muller in his visit to the volcano.
We believe tio other attempt than this has ever
been made to enter the crater, except hy one of
the followers of Cortes. During the conquest of
Mexico the Spaniards were at one time short of
powder, and in order to procure sulphur where
with to make it, one of them is said by the old
chroniclers to have gone into tlio crater and
procured a supply. Attempts are soon to lie
made to obtain sulphur regularly, from 1’opo
catapctl iu order to compete with Vesuvius in
the supply of the world. We do not know with
what prospect of success.
What Acstkia us noneo.—A letter from a
correspondent, dated Florence, September 19th,
is before us, in which the writer, referring to
the magnificent schemes in which Austria is en
gaged to consolidate its dominion in the South
of Europe, says:
“Dalmatia is to be erected into a Viceroyalty,
under the Duke Maximilian, with a view of cre
ating a great maritime power. The coast from
Trieste to Fiume is undergoing transformation;
six steam frigates are on the stocks, and a con
tract is said to have been made with an Ameri
can engineer to complete the fortifications of
l’ola within five years at a salary of 54,000 flo
rins, and a bonus of 50,000 florins at the com
pletion of the work. The whole cost of those
enterprises is estimated at four hundred million
of florins, of which millions are to be as
signed, to Tola.
Thus Austria aims to secure its 'domination
over the Adriatic, and these Italian nations,
which M. de Lamartine assures in arc so rife
for liberty and independence-

In a brilliant war story, recently published In
England, entitled “Ilarry Ogilvie, or the Black
Dragoons,” by James Grant, occurs the follow*
ing thrilling sketch. The incident is related as
having occurred at the battle of Dunbar, Scot
land, when the flower of her chivalry, its horse,
foot and officers, were overthrown with terrible
slaughter by the English troops, under Oliver
Cromwell:
“ Deprived of my sword, and with my arras
pinioned, they dragged, pushed and struck me ;
tweuty hands or more were upon me, and 1 had
scarcely time to think over my terrible situa
tion, when I found myself thrust against tho
wall of an old ruin, and then a lighted lantern
was tied to my neck. By its faint glimmering,
qveu at that terrible moment, I could perceive
one who, by his laced scarlet coat, broad hat
and white fulling baud*, I conceived to be a
man of rank; but hie face was dark, contracted
and forbidding.
••‘Sergeant—answer me, I implore you, ! said
I; ‘is that man an officer?’ ‘Yes, a colonel—he
bears the heathenish name of Arthur Heal trig.’
‘Save me from this butchery,’ I exclaimed; "save
me Sir Arthur Hcsilrig—I aui a prisoner of
war!' Die, Scot, and be d—d, replied be turn
ing away; ‘tis the bolt of the Lord that hath
overtaken thee,' Hezokiah Accepted—Zerub
babel Meek—Iiabakuk Killsin,’ said the ser
geant, ‘and thou, Corporal Twaddle ’ I tell
thee, brother,’ sniveled the other in great wrath,
‘my name is Fight-the-good-light-of-Kaith, so
Twaddle me no more.’ 'Yes, and verily—fall
in! —we will dispatch him by a platoon;’ au(\ at
the distanou of forty yards I could discern these
four fanatics through the gloom, by their white
falling bands, as they drew up opposite to me,
uud began to handle their arms, while Sergeant
Melchisedech drawled out the words of com
mand according to the approved fashion of
Cromwell’s army.
“ ‘Boise your muskets—cook your musket*—
guard your pans—present—fire 1’ The four
muzzles seemed to flash through the dark into
my Very eyes. ‘God rcoeive tue!’ I sighed, as
the four bullets crashed on the stono wall round
mo, aud fell amid lime and dust at my feet,
while every pulse and fibre tingled within me;
and my startled heart stood still! ‘Verily, but
the Amorite is is shot proof,’ cried tbe crowd
of soldiers who were looking on, ‘We shall
soon prove that—cast about to charge.’ resum
ed the sergeant as coolly as if upon parade ;
‘handle your chargers—opeu them with your
teeth—draw ramrods —’
‘•I am assured that had I escaped this second
intended platoon, I must have fallen to tho
eurtli from mere over-tension of the heart and
brain; but before they could level at me again,
the stern voice of one vested with authority ex
claimed. ‘Recover your arms—shame upon ye,
men—fall back, upon your peril, fall back! Is
it thus my orders are obeyed?’ All shrunk off
as this person approached, llis presence and
bearing were lofty and commanding, but his
face was massive and coarse; his nose wus large,
aud his eyes were piercing ; he wore u plain
black hat, with a broad brim, a Hteel cuirass,
buff coat and starched falling bands, By some
intuitive knowledge I reoogutacd tho English
Lieutenant General—Oliver Cromwell.”
Another of the Sermon*.
Tim last specimen of the “harp of u thousand
strings” kind of sermons we have met with is
the following, on “ the three Simons.” It was
preached lately ut the Goose Creek meeting
house, by a clergyman of the “Hard Shell
Baptist ” persuasion, uud will be found very
suggestive, i
The reverend gentleman comes late, walks
solemnly into the pulpit, and after having gone
through with the formula of his creed, comes to
the sermon.”
“Brethren; Whilst I was riding here an idea
struck me of great importance to the congregation.
The scriptures is full of instructions, and the
scriptures in various places makes various men
tion of various Simons.
“There was Simon Magnus, Simon Barjouay,
ami Simon Peter; but of all the Simons in the
scriptures tlmr is no Simon like unto that Simon
that lived down by the sea shore, and he was a
tanner.
“Suint Mathy takes this subject up. He speaks
of many Simons, and lie says tbar was Simon
Barjonay, Simon Peter, and Simon Magnus, but
lie also mentions that of all the Simons thar was
no Simon like unto that Simon that lived down
by the sea side, and lie was a tanner,
“Likewise Saint Mark testifies unto the scrip
tures. He also says there was many Simons,
that there was Simon Peter, Simon Magnus and
Simon Barjouay, but of all thu Simons thar
was no Simon like unto that Simon that lived
down by the sea shore, and he was a tanner.
“So also Saint Luke and all the saint* beat
witness unto the spriptures, they all bear wit
ness to these Simons, and they all attest unto
the try Hi that of all thp Simons thar was no Si
mon like unto that Simon that lived dow*n by
the sea side, and he was a tanner.
t “ Glory unto Simon! Glory unto all the
Simons! Glory unto that Simon that lived by
the sea shore, lor lie was a tanner.”
Mu. Gales. —We observed that, at a late ban
quet at the President’s bouse, Mr. Gales, the
veteran editor of the National Intelligencer, j
was treated with marked, and we may add, de- |
served distinction. Mr. Galea bas been for half ;
a century at the head of the newspaper press of!
America. In ability, sagacity, industry and
judgment, he has had no superior among the
journalists of America. His paper is entitled
to the still higher merit of candor, dignity and
decorum. In its political discussions it has uni
formly appealed to the reason, and never to the
prejudices and passions of men, Mr. Gales is
not only an editor, but a statesman, far sighted,
well informed, and of liberal and comprehensive
views. He is much better fitted for a scat in
the Senate or the Cabinet than many who have
figured in those positions. As a man, he is dis
tinguished for his generosity of nature and un
affected single-mindedness.* We presume that
for no one connected with the American press
is there so universal u feeling of respect and
affection, as for Joseph Gales, editor of the Na
tional Intelligencer.- -Richmond (Fa.) Ditpatch.
Dante. —The secret of Dante’s struggle
through life was in the reckless sarcasm of his
answer to the Prince of Verona, who aslced him
how he accounted for the fact, that in the
household of princes, the court fool was In
greater favor than the philosopher. “Similari
ty of milid,” said the fierce genius, “is all over
the worth the source of friendship.”
Negro Comfort. —A. dying Wes-t India plant
er groaning to his negro servant, sighed out:
“Alt! Sambo, I’m going u long, long jour
ney.”
“Never mind, massa,” said the negro, consol
ingly, “him all the way down hill"
A gentleman of Alabama was lying in lied

VARIETIES.
A 8am Patcth Leap.—A short time fence, as
Mr. D. West was passing by the falls near South
Troy; Vti, with a span of three years’ old celts
and a double.wagon, his colts took fright and
rushed down a steep bank thirty or forty feet
in bight, through a mass of underbrush, and
plunged headlong into the Missisquoi river,
beiug freed from the wagon they swam into
deep water, and one was carried over the falls.
The bight of the falls is estimated at thirty feet.
The cplt was buried bcucath the spray, and it
was supposed by all that he was killed, hut he
wa,s soon discovered ten or fifteen rods below
the Rills, lodg'd against a ledge, and was taken,
from the water and led up a steep bank—a task
which most horses would have failed to accom
plish—and safely lodged in the stable.
If outunk Making.— As An example, soys an ex
change, of the rapidity with which fortunes are
acquired, wc may mention the case of Sylvester
Lynn, a Scotchman, who landed In Chicago in
i 1846 with two sovereigns In his pocket. A few
weeks siuoe he gave to the txuBteos of the Pres
byterian University, about to be established at
Forest Luke, twenty-five miles north of the City,
the munificent sum of one hundred thousand
dollars. In oonscqucncc of this act the trustees
have determined to call the institution Unj Lynn
University.
A Lirruc Strange.— It was announced -re
cently, in Sau Francisco, with due solemnity,
that, the snake which bit \Virsen, three or four
weeks since, in Sacramento, is dead. The ‘‘char
mer” states that as he gradually recovered from
the clfcots of the poison the snake as gradually
became ill and stupid, and at the very moment
when he no longer felt pain from the wontid,
the snake stretched himself out, took his last
look ut the world, and expired as though ho
.wore going to a ‘‘night’s repose.”
Remarkabt.e Death. —As Mr. i. Hall, sexton
of Quincy, Mass., was in attendance at n fune
ral in that town recently, while the procession
was solemnly wending its way to the abode of
the dead, his hat w-as observed to fall, and his
head to drop upon his breast. Assistance was
rendered, he was removed from the seat of the
hearse, and medical aid was promptly at hand,
! hut life was gone.
Tim Dead and Tun Lout.—It in said that from
forty to fifty childrcu aru lost annually in New
York and none of their relatives ever hear of

ber of dead bodies are found every year, of
Whiyli no one knows any thing, and for which
no body appears to care, except to remove them
as a nuisance. Such is life in a great oity.
