Pike's Peak~»Tfcroifti Tickets to Port
. Kearney.
From notice* and extracts from other pa
pers publiebed la the Pbebs isd Tribune, oar
readers are aware that the emigration to the
npy flolffo hng h<>gnn tn mnvp.
railways running -west irom this city and
the kije lines connected with them have been
r . actii£]j- engaged for several weeks in'perfect-
Ing their plans to accommodate all who are
determined to try their fortunes in this new
field of enterprise and golden hopes. We have
to notice this morning the important fact that
the Chicago and Hock Twinna Railway have
'completed arrangements with the Western
£Uge Company, and are now .selling
through .tickets Iron Chicago to Fort
Jfc&airnej on the Platte River, 184 miles
west of Council Bluffs, and only 346
mile* this; 'rifle of the gold fields. By this
route Fort Kearney is €66 miles west of Chi
cago, and tbe traveling time irom four to five
days. It will be lengthened by as many days
as travelers may wish to lie over nights for
rest and refreshment. The'distance from
Chicago to lowa City, 238 miles, is accom
pli died by rail in twelve hours. The price
of a first class passenger ticket, including 100
pounds of baggageon railway and 50 ponods
on stage, from Chicago to Fort Kearney is
SSO 25; fiecoud class $4.7.50. As soon as
Springopen-v.this line will be extended to
the mines. Passengers can then procure their
tickets direct from Chicago to the land of
Gold. We shall keep our readers duly ad
vised as soon as the line is. completed.
Bat Mr. Superintendent Tracy, of the Eock
Island Railway, has been equally mindful cf
those tvho~wish to go "west of lowa City by
their own conveyance. Parties living in
Michigan, Northern Indiana, Ohio, Illinois
and Southern and Eastern Wisconsin, may
wish to take their teams, wagons and outfit
. .from this oity by rail to lowa City. It is also
worthy of the of parties from
the Eastern States, whether teams, wagons,
and their entire outfit cannot be purcba : nd
more advantageously In this city than further
west, as the larger demand as the emigrant
goes west will be likely to add very consider
ably to the cost of the outfit. To accommo.
date all such, freight care will be run through
to lowa City with the passenger trains, at
fitly dollars per car, muting . 238 miles west
ward in twelve hours. In tSis way three or
four parties might club together and put their
. teams in one car, their wagons nnd baggage
in another, and lied this a very cheap and ex
peditious way, without change of cars, to
make a long distance westward. The bridge
over the Mississippi at Rock Island, makes
this route a most desirable one at all seasons.
Our knowledge of the energy and the in
tegrity with which the affiirs of the Rock
Island Railway arc conducted by its officers,
enables us to assure the public that they will
perlorm to the letter all tbey undertake. We
append the distances between tbe several
points as lollowe: Ch'cigo to lowa City via
Chicago & Rock Island and Mississippi. &
Missouri Railroad* without change of cars
238 milcF; lowa City to Council Bluffs, 244
mile?; Council Bluffs to Fort Kearney, 184
miles; Fort Kearney to Gold Mines, 346 miles;
Total distance from Chicago to the Gold
Mines, 1,012 miles.
Any further and more particular Informa
tion can be obtained by mail or otherwise
from John F. Tracy, Esq., Superintendent
• of the Chicago and Rock Inland Railway,

" Important from Mexico."
About thrice a week for a period wherein
the memory of man runueth not to the con
trary, have we been called on to print some
thing under this caption. It has become the
ponderous joke of editorial life. So regular
ly have these "stunners" traversed the
country, detailing how battles have been
fought without bloodshed, how cities have
been sacked without barm, how this ragmuffin
general has "pronounced" against that ex
cheqaerlcss President, how the President has
" pronounced " back again—which by inter
pretation means that they both swore in bad
Spanish,—that we would engage to supply the
Press with original Mexican news for the next
twelve months, without being detected in a
single blutd.T. The only requirements would
be a map of the country, au indiscriminate
use of ttse woids Miramon, Comonfort,
Robles, Juarez and Echeagaroy, Jalapa, Gua
dalajara, Guadalaxara and Guanaxato. These
must all be kept vigorously pronouncing.
The chiel end of every Mexican is.first to
pronounce and second to "be pronounced
against. He should then, at once, energeti
cally and decisively pronounce. Gunpowder
Is of course an essential of Mexican exist
ence, but tbe acme of military renown is
achieved in killing the Ftrength of the great
est possible quantity with the least possible
damage to uiau or beast. These eleaentß,
with a neat" jumble of pillaged sanctuaries
and ecclesiastical cursing are sufficient to
make any man au fait in the cotemporary
history and politics of the land of the Monte
zumas. Is it possible that this is the nation
from which we gathered unfading laurels a
doz?n years ago ?
What is to be the future of this maudlin
republic! She has lost the faculty—that of
being bled—which might induce a bold knive
like Santa Anna to send the whole corps of
pronouncers to the galleyp, aod establish a
government which should be firm though vil
lainous. That adventurer, however, seems con
tented to rest on Ills trophies, and go down to
a green old age fighting cocks at Cartbagena.
Perhaps he has learned that as the Mexicans
know not how to use liberty, they ore too
jealous for a despotism. They can no more
Ftick to a government than tbey can get one
Revolution is their normal state. As they
rarely kill when tbey shoot, eo do they eel
dom do anything but rend tbe heavens when
they upset a dynasty. One government is no
sooner.in operation than the land is shaken
with schemes and mock battles and make-be
licve sieges to demolish it. In short, tbey reel
to and fro nnd stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wit's end. It is a question
whether the world's police is not required to
look into this brawling crib and stop the
noise. J
The Rock Island Register.
Messrs. T. J. Pickett, formerly ot the Peoria
Jbgisttr, and more recently a resident of Pekin,
and C. W. Waite, late of the DeKalb Rtpublieaxi,
have united in establishing a sew and excellent
Republican journal at Rock Island, entitled the
Eeguter. It is published tri-week)y at present,
but tbe proprietors intend issuing it daily as
soon as its circulation and patronage shall war
rant the undertaking. The Republicans and the
citizens generally of Rock Island, will find
Messrs. Pickett A Waite two of the most capa
ble editors and thoroogh-going gentlemen in
the Slate. We heartily commend their enter
prise to the Republicans and business men of
the western portion of the State.
Death of Mrs. Wordsworth.
Mrs. Wordsworth, widow of the poet, died on
Monday night, the 17lh nIL, at II o'clock.
The Daily says:
There was something moarafal in the linger-'
ing.of this aged Udy—oliod, deaf and bereaved
in her later years; but she was not mournful
any more than she was ineecsible. Ace did not
blunt her feelings, nor deaden her interest in
the events of tbe day. It seems not eo verv
long ago tnat she said that the worst ot lirinr
in such a place (as the Lake district) was i£
making one unwilling to eo. It was too beauti
fol to let one be ready to leave it. Within a few
years the beloved daughter was go M «nd
the aged buaband, and then the Son-ioXw Ed
then the devoted friend, Mr. Wordsworth'amTb
lisber, Mr. Hoxon, who paid his duty occasion
ally by the side of her chair; and then ahe be
came blind and deaf. Still her cheerfulness waa
indomitable.

EnacmiA Feb. 10th, US,
This large appropriations asked from this I*g
Haiaibre, and hi part granted by.Jh# House* tre
a source of a great disquiet to the financial offi
cers of the State. The Auditor, especially,
whftift duty it is
"Commonwealth, is~ fearful that warrants, for a
years sonesrthevalne of gold, will be depre
ciated toa pernicious extent by the lsrge and in
oessant applications that will be made at bis office
under the authority of the laws which the Legif
latnre is recklessly sanctioning. The ordinary
revenue of the State, aside from the two mills
tax, tbe interest tax, tbe land fond and the fond
derived from the gross earnings of the Illinois
Central Biilroad, is cot Car from (400,000 per
annum. It can hardly be expected, when pro
perty is depreciating, when business is at a
stand, and the people are in debt, ( tbat the valu
ations on the assessors' lists will be increased,
or that the revenue of the two ryears next to
come will exceed that ot the two years past.
Admit that the revenue will be what it has been,
and there is a certainty that before the meeting
of the next Legislature the coffers of the State
will be barren if all the appropriation bills are
passed. It appears to be the policy of the Be
publicans to keep the expenditures within the
anticipated receipts; but tbe Democracy choose
to incur the responsibility of plunging the
State into debt by expenditures which are un
necessary and absurd; upon them be the re*
ponsib'ility!
The House to-day has been moving along
quietly afternoon on bills upon their third
-reading.. These have been mostly of a local
character; among them, one authorizing a vote
of the people of Kendall County opon the re
moval of tbe county 4eat Irom Oswego to York
ville, will be of interest to Kendall County read
ers. The bill passed bnt not withont a struggle
on tie part '.of certain Democrats to re-commit
it. Ths order of the afternoon will be contin
-1 ued this evening and every afternoon until a
. greater part or all of the bills of that character
are disposed of.
The attorney of the Illinois Central Boad, Mr.
J. M. Douglas, sppeared before the Senate Com.
mittee on Banks and Corporations, last evening,
and entered into an elaborate and very oble ar
gument the object of which was the establish
ing of the fact, that, in accordance with the
spirit of its charter, his Company is not bound
to tbe State for the payment of more than seven
per cent of its gross earnings. He was listened
to with marked attention; but with what ulti
mate effect on his bill, who can tell ?
The Senate is not in session afternoon*
Daring the morning aitting, the Apportionment
bill was read the first time and referred. It will
be np again to-morrow in its re gular order.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Democratic Tariff Squabble—The. Xary
Jnzutigaiumt—The New Territories—The
AtrcUo Ship Canal.
[Frca oar own Correspondent]
► WISH3GTOI. F-b8,1859-
The internecine straggle between Buchanan
and Cobb goes on. Buchanan has the most
craft and management, but Cobb has the most
men. Two furiously excited caucuses were held
at the capitol on Saturday night. Buchanan's
party met in the Committee room of the Ways
and Means. They rode np io an omnibus. They
consisted of ohoice selections from tbe Pennsyl
vania Democracy. They resolved that they had
no connection with tbe concern over the way;
that they were the only real and original Jar
leys. These originals expressed unabated con
fidence in Old Buck—dear credulous souls, re
solved in favor of his policy, and against a na
tional debt, L e. agaimt Cobb, and then they
adjourned. The concern over the way mot in
the hall of the House. They consisted of forty
or fifty Southern Democrats, African traders
and free traders, and fifteen or twenty mercena
ries, hired to gnaw the baggage, from the
North. John Cochrane was Chairman. The
conclave pitched right into business. The com
mittee appointed at the last meeting exploded
io a report declaring that the present tariff will
yield fifty-six millions and the public lands five
millions, and that the public expenditures may
be cut down eleven millions. As the estimates
are 178,000,000, this will reduce them to $12,-
000,000. The remaining million will be made
np by miscellaneous. Tbe meeting discussed
tbe report with great gravity, for a space. They
then begau cussin' in great anger, and ended by
laughing at themselves and their schemes.
Somebody created intense alarm by suggesting
that if tbe Democrats could not carry on tbe
Government for less than eighty millions ayear,
it had better be turned bodily over to tbe Be
publicans. Under the excitement caused by
tbe opening of this vista, Groesbeck moved an
adjournment 0 never to meet more," which was
carried, before the assembled Democracy knew
whether they stood opon their beads or their
heels.
As a sectional conspiracy the thing was a dead
failure, but as an intrigue of Cobb's against the
President it will have important effects. It was
from beginning to end a Cobb movement, de
signed to organise the Democracy against the
President. Free trade waa only a cover fer the
real purpose, and tbe idea of retrenchment was
the veriest farce. The word is never mentioned
between two Democrats, but they laugh in each
othera* face. But, it will be observed, that while
the Cobb party numbered about sixty members,
Mr. Buchanan was able to got into his caucus
only twelve or fifteen members, and those con
fined to his own State. But be had the address
ta send to tbe meeting of Cobbites, as spies end
informers, ten or a dozen of his best men, who,
as we have seen, broke np the meeting before it
had time to do anything. Thus far Buchanan
has entirely out-generated Cobb, though he has
not been able to prevent a wide and dangerous
schism. Douglas goes with Cobb the Whole
length, being quite willing to shift the ground of
rebellion from Lecompton to free trade, by
which movement he out-flanks Buchanan—cuts
off his right wing, consisting of the pure Afri
cans. Of course, tbe beginning of tbe reform
action consisted in putting off upon tbe shout*
ders of some innocent party the payment of
Cobb's treasury notes. He must have tbe priv
ilege of re Issuing them as fast and as often as
tbey come in.
"■ The Secretary of tbe Navy professes to be
easy about the results of tbe two Invest!,
gating Committees, whose labors have a bearing
on bis case. The Committee on Naval Frauds
have a letter from a member of the Cabinet, it
is asserted, in which tbe man who got the con
tract for steam machinery for $13,000 more than
Allan offered to do the work lor, is ordered to
share tbe profits with another person, wbo did
not get any contract. Who is tbe member of
the Cabinet?
It is probable that Stephens will get up his
Territorial business about tbe 16th, and If so be
•ill.find it a most difficult matter to get through
with the four bills creating Territories, and tbe
other for the admission of Oregon. The com-
can have but two daya, which is a very
limited time indeed for the proper examination
of such important measures. If tbe party is
boot upgn a retrenchment of expenditures, it is
a bad way to begin by increaainfr the anaronria
ttons $£50,000 for thU one object.
The Southern Democrats will make a point on
this, and may come over to the Bepublicans for
the occasion.
OL^» l - Craven has reported that the Atrato
Ship Canal project is a humbug, and If practica
ble at all, would coat $200,000,000. Lieut. Cra-
were sent out on this service in

waa assigned to them. Tbe expedition could
not have cost less than $50,000. J uians.
Fanners' Clubs.
Lis Ojchtt. Feb. 6tb, 1859.
Editors Press and Tribune:
There is an awakening in every part of tbe
State among our intelligent fCmers, on the sub*
ject of improved Everywhere
farmers* clubs are being organised and discus
sions carried on from week to week that reflect
much credit on the good sense and talent of
those who engage in them. ~ There are, indeed,
some puerile cfiorts by a certain "pioneer
class," (we mean no disrespect,) who, thinking
some of the many wrongs can be righted which
the farmera receive at the bands of the commer
cial men, have set to blazing away at them with
something less than fanatical violence. That
farmers might right aome wrongs, there can be
no doubt. But more right is gained through
quiet, well directed measures which have in
view their own good rather than the injury of
others. Their produce is theirs. They have an
undeniable right to sell It when and where and
how and to whom they choose, but they will
preserve greater aelf-respect, and derive more
bsnefit from tbelr action, by simply attending to
their otra btuinett strictly and energetically
pushing it np to the best points in every partic
! nlar, while at the same time they let othere alone.
Nobody wants to fight very bad, nor does there
•eem to be any occasion for fighting. Let the
farmers do the best they can with their produce
while they have it. if by all putting their wheat
into one common bin and taking their chanoes
; they think they cap get better prices—let them
do eo. « A
Combination is what they need. They stand
isolated and alone. Not even are the best pro
cesses of cultivation, stock feediog, Ac., known
or imitated of a neighbor by another. Free and
frank discussion on any subject is what we want.
There is more good in this lor the farmers just '
«t this time, than for any other olsas; at least ]

» . Mr. Plato remarked that without having ex
it amined the subject very minutely he did know
•e that the latterlpart of tbe first resolution was un«
e * true. Tbe records of the office under Gov, Mat
-14 teson showed that ho approved the claim.
Mr. Campbell of Logan quoted the following
£ from the report: That inMay, 1854, Governor
Matteson recommended to the State Trustee to
n allow tbe amount claimed by Mr. Leavitt out of
s, the canal fund, bat that on further investigation,
both Gov. Matteson and Mr. Mcßobertawere un
■c willing to take upon themselves the responsibil
p ity-of allowing it without the approval of the
j' Legislature."
Mr. Plato denied that the public records show
ed the fact eet out in the resolutions,
j Mr. Graham remarked that nothing on the re*
r , - cord shows tbe claim waa just.
IC Mr. Campbell ot Logan quoted the protest of
Q Capt William H. Swift, dated Boston, October
24, 1857.
1, Mr. Plato jemirkcd that the very protest read
[ f proved that It was not upon the record, for while
the resolution was dated 16th October, the protest
r. has the date October 24th. He reasserted that
t f the records feliow to the contraly of the rea«lu
-*tion£ The real controversy was' not as to Mr,
Leavitt's claim but as to who should pay it, and
c he denied that the records in the canal office show
c ed anything elfce.
•q Mr. Graham made the following extract from a
letter from Got. Ford, December 23d: " The re
-5 toru of Mr. Oakley, the, two last times, and the
e present agenty of Mr. Leavitt, were entirely vol
jl uutary oa tbeir part, and lim not advised that
t thev expect any compensation."
v ' Mr. Plato coutinued.to ask where upon tbe pub
'l lie recaps any proof of'the facts io the
ffl protest of Mr. Swift was found.
Q ilr. Gjabam asked Mr. P. to inform him where
Leavitt got his authority to act at all, so that he
obtained the ba.=i3 of the claim. ,
I Mr. Plato. • That was not the question. Tbe
j question here Is, was it made against the public
n record ? - •
Mr. Detrich said the gentleman was contending
against the resolution upon the groutid that the
canal records alone are referred to, while the
. truth Is that application is made to the entire ie
'* cords of the State.
Mr. Peek had nothing to say with reference to
the payment of the money, but he thought it
» wrong lor the House to make up a public record
'» after an act to condemn a man. He rematked that
Gov. Matteson if he Withdrew hu recordedappr>
val of that claim, should have recorded that
withdrawal.
e Mr. Davis of Montgomery, did not desire this
thiug to go off on a quibble. He thought the quea
» Hon was as to the justice of the child and not
8 üboiit public records, for these, if he understood,
r were not over favorable to the allowance of the
claim, because the public records no where show
1. that there was mi appointment of Leavitt. He
1, remarked opon Leav ill's voting !n hi 3 own favor,
and that the third tiustee was absent.
*, Mr. Pech reinaiked tliat his complaint was that
1, a rocoid had been made up, the protest was not
presented until after the claim was allowed, and
d had it been of record, to stand against the appro
val of Gov. Maltese!!, lbs canal trustee .would
>f probably not have allowed the claim. He bad
1, understood that this report itself was made out by
i- the attorney of Governor Matteson.
e "Mr. Cummings called for the previous ques
tion, which was ordered by ayes 26, nays 0.
a A division of the (Juesuon being called for,
tho first lectfon as follows was submitted and
adopted: .
u '*l. Jietolvtd, That the allowance of tbe claim
of David Leavitt, for forty thousand dollars, bp
a the joiot action of himself and C. H. Ray, ' two
£ of tne canal trustees,* was unwise."
ig The.Gecohd section was then submitted as fol
f lows;
5 " 44 And against the established facts appearing
k upon the public records."
The vote was as follows:
. Yeas 44, nays 27. Etccsed—Townaend.
Mr. Davis of Stephenson, explained his affir-
*mative vote, believing that tbe public records
d showed the facts set out in the report. He be
n lieved that the Trustee's justification was flood
outside of the record.
n Mr. Baker stated that in committee he voted
against that part of the resolution, and he now
9 desired to be eitensed; not being excused, be
voted in the negative.
h Mr. Townsend remarked that he was not poet
i- ed on the matter and desired to be excused. So
excused.
Mr. Campbell cf Logan, moved to adopt the
j second resolution.
Mr. Mack mored to substitute that the Gov
t ernor confer with Capt. Swift in relation to the
claim of Mr. Lsavitt, and to take such action as
. tbe intereta may require.
Mr. Graham objected on the ground that as
he'understood the Governor had already ex
* himself in favor of the claim. He mov
ed to amend to insert tbe name of Mr. Edwards
I .as agent. .
s Tbe discussion was continued by Messrs.
Church; Davis of Monrgomerr»Green, Plato and
:g Graham.
• ( Mr. Feci rciuarked that Dr. Bay does not de»
s sire to shriek from an? investigation or respon
sibility in this matter. He would propose to
[. amend, that it is expedient to authorize W. lL
* Swift to appoint such agent to attend to the in
terest of the Stale.

j Mr. Peck.
Mr. Green moved to -amend to insert" that
e 2>. W. Edwards be and is hereby appointed to

I Ilungariaa Grass,
e Hungarian Grass Seed having lately attracted
considerable attention in onr produce market,
g the iollowmg article,from the February number
, of the F&Uey Farmer, will doubtless be interest
t to many of our readers:
Tbe "Hungarian Grass" very nearly resem
bles the common millet and requires the same
culture, li has gained great notoriety upon
k the Western prairies, where it appears
' much better adapted than to the ordinary farm
, lands of Kentucky and other States. It resists
drouth to an extraordinary degree, and upon
? tbe porous prairie lands it threatens to almost
„ entirely supercede timothy. In other States in
tbe Union, and even in its native country* thv
Pdniaim Oermanicum or Hungarian Grass, is
not so highly appreciated.
1 The usual practice in the West, with this
' Grass, is to secure both a crop ot seed and a
r crop of llay at the same time, and tbe conse
quence in both are inferior. When seed is the
object, a lees quantity should be sown to tbe
acre, say eight quarts, either broadcast, or what
is better, drilled in. But for hay, not less than
a half bushel of seed should be sown to tbe acre,
and even three pecks would give more and finer
hay. The ordinary quantity sown, however, is
1 one-third of a bushel; this on good land will
; give from 20 to SO bushels of seed, and from
two to three tons, and even more, of bay to the
acre. •
Tbe gronod should be rich and well prepared.
The prupertime lor sowing is from tbe middle
of May to tbe middle of June, but it may be
sown as late as the last of June, and produce a
crop of bay. It may be sown on wheat or rye
stuoble and will a(Tord>good Call pasturage.
The proper time to cut the millet for hay is
when tbe blades begin to turn yellow, or when
the seed Isjast passing out of the milky state.
If allowed to. folly ripen the seed, the bay is not
so rich and nutritious, but while seed commands
the high price that it has since it was first intro
duced, it has usually beea fallowed to become
too ripe to make soft, street hay.
-A Grizzly Bear Loose*
[Correspondence of tfce N, Y. Tjibnne.]
—, ... Fomcbesto, Miord,j. Feb. 5.15?.
The citizens of Bye and Harrison have Dcen
seriously annoyed lor some tiro weeks, by what
has tureed out to be a large grizzly bear, whoEe
amusement has betn to mike great havoc among
the farmer's stock, having already destroyed
three cows, one fine ox and several bogs. Sev
eral unarmed citizens having seen tbe monster
at a diaiance, tbe consequent excitement soon
brought together a party, determined to rid the
neighborhood ot this formidable foe. Tbe re
cent fall of snow favoring the prcjcct, a small
party, headed by Merrilt S. Clark (particularly
distinguished for dangerous adventures), and
Thomas Wilson and Tilly Jackson,'two colored
men, composed one gang, and some six irom
Byrum. Ct,; the other. Upon entering a swamp
aboutß>{ miles.lrom the village ot Bye, tbe
monster was discovered snugly esconced in a
crevice of a large clump of xocka. Mr. Clark 1
having much Western experience in like adven
tares, advanced and gave bmin the contents of
his well-loaded gun, which had no other effect
than to engage him, when he immediately at
tacked Wilson, and % a severe struggle ensued <
(tbe colored men being arme'd only with clubs)
the bear biting to Uson terribly in the neck,
tearing and mangling him awfully and almost l
'severing his head from his body. By this time ]
Jackson commenced to beat the bear,' who left
the dead body of Wilson, and springing upon
Jackson gave him a frightful blow, striking tbe 1
whole length of his back- tearing hli tlothea
completelv from tbe body and lacerating the ,
flesh fearfully, injuring him eo severely that he .
is not expected to recover. When Mr. Clark, {
who bad reloaded his gun and was anxiously •
watching a chance to make snre of tbe enraged »
beast Without shooting his only live*companion, f
fired with good effect and thereby releasing
| Jackson, tbe Bvrum party attracted by the
first fire of Clark having arrived, several char
ges were deposited in the cause of this fearinl t
tragedy and killed the brute. He is a grizzly £
bear ot the largest size and entirely unknown f
in these parts; where he cam* from and when,
is yet a profound mystery to all, unless ha has z
escaped from tome menagerie. t

Tours, A.8.;
A British Dilemma.
, A few weeks since the Eogliah papers were
, filled with edifying accounts of the entrance of
, tLe Qaeen'a second son, Prince Alfred, in the
, Royal Nary as a Midshipman. Tbe youtb, we
were told, was to make bis way in his profession
, like a private individual, unencumbered bj
state pomp or patronage, until be reached, by
, dint of hard service, tbe rank of Post Captain
, or Admiral. He was to mess with his associates
, as an equal, to demean himself to his superiors
, in accordance with tbe rules of tbe service.
, Tbe Prince joins his ship and tbe ship starts
on her cruise. Sbe touches at Lisbon, and the
Prince goes ashore and dined with the King.
* The vessel touches next at Valetta, and here
r there is quite an outbreak colonial loyalty.
Dignitaries clamber up the side and pay their
» reßpecta. His Royal Highness is invited ashore
and rides through tbe streets amid the accla-
I nations of tbe motley multitudes, toacbing
r his hat as in duty bound in response these
d salutations. He is, of course, dined and lion
f ized.
, The news reaches England, and the Press com
ment very freely on the imminent risk the youth
runs of being spoiled, not only as a sailor but
& as a man. It is impossible tbey say for him to
learn his profession if thus »•<>
time be sets foet on shore. He must not be thus
tempted and distracted from bis business. This
i- is all very well, but we do not see ho# the evil
can be obviated. The little middy cannot be
f hidden the buia or sent aloft as the
r steamer dropa anchor. Colonial ports are dull
places and are not to be baulked of an exclte
-1 ment when that rare commodity is within reach,
e The Englishman nt home has a privilege of
t hurrahing or waving' his bat as tbe Qaeen
t passes, or it he have a loog purse or pedigree,
> of occasionally sunning himself in tbe august
presence. Wbysbonldnot tbe eolonist have
i* the same privilege when a stray fraction of
royalty comes within his reach y If it is right
and proper for the highest in the land at home
it to delight in flunkey homage attbe palace, why
- blame these colonists tor making the moat of
e tbeic cbacca to imitate tbe example set in high
>• places. Tbe English press but reflects tbe
* sound common senne of the English people in
insisting that the Royal middy shall stick to
>* his ship.
c A Royal Prince has, in many respects, abard
time ot it. He ueualiy comes into the world,
e thanks to the constant intermarriages of the pa
e rental stock, with less than tbe average supply
of health of body or mind. He must, at least
e it so appears in England, be educated in private.
c He thus grows upln the confined court atmos
phere, and enters upon life without ideas or ex*
% perience of a practical character.
e The present Queen seems to have the good
e sense to resist as far as she can this system. She
'* wishes to see her large family busy atsome prac
tical service to tbe nation. Tbe attachment of
~ ber subjects thwarts tbis. They pay their money
j for tbis* royal Bhow, and the actors must not
? slip on tbe stage or doff the eye dazzling tinsel
* and epaogles. Tbe feelicg ot loyalty has a
[ touch of domestic pride in it. Tbe Englishman
likes to see the Qaeen bedizened in cumbroas
s crown end purple, as the viilear lather delight*
, in the finery he heaps upon his daughter. He
knows that such indulgence would be ridiculous
on bis own person; be. does not perceive that
q it is equally so by deputy. It Is a convenient
r mode of displaying his wsalth. He enjoys tbe
D pplendor of nis state coach as it parades through
the streets more than if be rode in it himself,
' and regards the mud it spatters on bis clothes
t with reverence. If you remonstrate with him,
t his only argument is that be can a!T>rd it.
j The more csnbi'oie portion of the English peo
ple are alive to the ndueiio ad absurdum of all
3 this in the case of the petted little middy. It
2 is not easy for him, as tbey find, to be rid of
Y his buckram, and have a fair chance to make a
man. We are glad that luey see tnis; let them
f. come to his and their own relief by simplifying
their court routine, and letting a little daylight

3 The UiTer ot Life»
T Blood Is the mighty river of life, the myste*
3 rious center of chemical and vital actions as
wonderful as tbev are indispensable, soliciting
* bur attention no less by the maiiy problems it
presents to speculate ingennity, than by tbe
I practical conrlasion* to which these.Speculations
lead. It is o torrent impetuously rushing through
every part of tbe body, carried by en elaborate
net work of vessels, which, in the course of the
twelve months, convey to tbe various tissues not
s less than three thousand pounds weight of nu
* tritive material, and convey from the . various
* tissues three thousand pounds weight of waste.
At every moment of our lives there iB nearly
1 ten poundß of this fluid rushing in one contin-
T uous throbbing stream, Irom the heart through
5 tbe great arteries, which branch and branch like
a tree, the vessels bccomingsmaller as they sub
divide, till they invisible to iae naked eye,
> and then they are called capillaries, (hair-like
vessels) although tbey are no more to be com
- pared to hairs, than hairs are with cables. These
vessels form a net work finer than tbe finest lace
—so fide, indeed, that it we pierce tbe surface
> at almost any part, with the point of a needle,
i we open one of tbem and let out its blood. In
these vessels tbe bloodyields sdme of its nutri
s ent materials, and receives in exchange some of
tbfjvaated products of tissue; thus modified,
- theVream continues its rapid course backwards
3 to tbe heart, through a system of veins, which
commence in the myriad of capillaries thatform
* the termination of tbe arteries. The veina, in-
I stead of subdividing like the arteries, become
gradually less and less numerous, their twigs
enteriog branches, and the branches trunks, un
til tbey reach the heart. No sooner has tbe
blood poured into tbe heart from tbe veins,
than it rashes through tbe lungs, and from
tbem back to tbe heart and arteries, thus com
pleting tbe circle, or circulation.
T Tbis wonderful.stream,ceaselessly circulat
ing, occupies tbe very centre of the vital organ
t ism, midway between tbe functions of nutri
> tion and excretion, feeding and stimulating tbe
organs into activity, and. removing Irom tbem
all their useless material. In its torrent, up
wards of forty dilTerent substances are bnrried
T along; it carries gases, it carries sails-it even :
carries metals and soaps I Millions ot brganic;d
cells float in its liquid; and of these cells, i
which by some are considered organized enti
ties, twenty millions are said to die at every
pulse ot .the heart, to be replaced by other mil
lions. Tbe iron which it washes onward can
[ be separated. Professor Bernard used to exhibit
a lump of itin bis lecture room-nay, ooe inge

should be struck from tbe metal extracted from

Bcbxid Dowk.—We are informed that Dr.
Gardiner's Hotel, the largest and fineat build
' ing in Areola, was burned to the ground on
Saturday night, together with all the Dr/s
; books and papers. We understand that he was
i not living in tbe house at tbe time himself,
having lately leased it but believe it was occu
pied by a tenant. The loss will be heavy wi h*

Mason*.—A short time since, we published in the
Trarucripi an account of three different attempts
! upon the life of Thomas Mason, by shooting in
to the rear windows of his barber shop which
Is situated on Main street. On Tuesday even
i ing between 6 and 9 o'clock he was sgain fired
at while sitting in a chair, the ball whistling
1 past his head and lodging in the side of the
' room. Tom and his assistants immediately
1 ' rushed to ihe door and gave chase, calling loua
| ly forasaiatance, as they conld see the man run
; Ding with pistol in hand. The fellow then
turned and blazed away twice more at Mason,
r without hitting him, but as be again started he
* fell, braising his hand considerably, he however
| recovered and while coming out of tbe alley on
the run, rrshed at ones into the arms of Officer
Wasson. The latter it appears was standing at
* the eoruer of Washington and Hamilton
when hearing the shots he at once suspected
. tbe cause and rushed to the scene, when be was
89 fortunate aa to secure the would be
' with all the evidencea of guilt upon his person.
* The blood was fresh npon his hand where he
had hurt it in his fall; tbe five barrelled pistol
with two of the barrels still loaded, and the
other three shoving marks of having been fresh*
ly discharged, was also found in the place where
'' be had thrown it, with tbe marks of bis bloody
■ fingers npon it.
Our readers will be surprised to learn that
this blood-tbirsty desperado was found to be
1 cono other than Smith, a colored profeesor of
; the tonsorial art, who keeps the well-koowa
barber shop under the Peoria House. What
. motive he could have for taking tbe life of Ma
son has not been ascertained. Smith was com
mitted to jail immediately upon bis arreat, and
: yesterday after an examination before Justice
Cunningham, was bound over for trial at the
Criminal Court in the sum of fiie thousand dot*
| lars.—Peoria Transcript,
i Singular.—The Burlington Hdishfie says:—
i Mr. Stewart, of this city, exhibited at our of
i fics on Saturday a piece of pine about two and
, a half loog, and some six inches in diameter,
tuken Irom the earth in digging a well, fifty feet
i below tbe surface. It .is in a perfect atate of
, : reservation, being a round piece, apparently
broken from the top ot a tree, with most of tbe
bark on. The well from which this is taken, is
I on high ground some'two miles from this city,
l und it waa taken out full fifty ieet below tbe sur
f face.
1 Distressing Casualty.—On Monday even
-1 ing, 7ib test, a little son of Dr. John Dixon, of
I Allen's Grove, Wis., aged six years, received a
1 shocking injury of which he died in about tbir
' ty hours. The doctor's hone, attached to bis
sulky, was hitched in front of his house. The
boy, on returning from school, got into the sul
ky, and falling on the wheel, was thrown upon
the ground on bis back, when tbe horse stepped
upon bis bowels. The little sufferer lingered
, in great pain till death granted him relief. To
: the bereaved iaoiiiy and friends, this is & terri
, ble affliction.—JanesviiU GazttU.
i Asother Sntctn*.—A man named John
t Smith, who lived by himself in a little bouse in
i the extreme south-eastern portion of the city,
i commuted suicide on Saturday night by taking
strychnine. After swallowing tbe poison he
started to £0 to thq residence of a niece, seve*
i ral squares from bis lonely abode, but was comj
pelled to stop on tbe way and seek refuge from
death on tbe street i.n the bouse of a Jonea.
lie coofessed to tbe inmates that he bad taken
strychnine, but assigned no cause for tbe act.
He died shortly after (about S o'clock) in the
presence of a number of perriona who had been
sent for when be maue known his conuition.—

Senators Mason and llanter.
[Correspondence of the Springfield Republican }
Washington Feb. 2.1559
Speaking of Tirginia Eenators remind* me
to say something of their character ucd po
sitiou in tbe They are amoug the
ablest legislators in tbe country, and would
any where command respect. Mason is a pic
ture of the genuine aristocrat. No make be*
liere, no snobbery, Imt your genuine <!e«pot,
accustomed to Hieer at all worker?. Brought
up among slaves this fecliogis genuiue Ii
the man, and it does not necessirily call forth
ceatempL He has a broad lace; wii h a high
forehead, is somewhat large, and sufficiently
fat to indicate that he knows what choice
feeding is, goes always dressed in a handsome
suit of black througliout and chews the weul
as elegantly as a man cm wt>o is guilty of
that nasty habii. He mually carrier it in a
little velvet pouch which he takes cut with aa ,
much auction as an English leid takes iti
hand a glass of Amontillado. But he is too
conservative to chew any modern "boncy cut
or refin-.d preparation. 3U** 4i ol»
always and a "never ti.e Tj with bim. A hunk
of tobacco trod into a sulid mass bj negro
heels is his delight, aristocrat tijoiub he be,
and he is not a&hamt<i of it, though my Lord
Napier was, at' tbe insSaot he opened his
pouch, lookiug at him or asking him about
the next war with Eugland. In abilities sen*
ator Mason fs tnrpassed by few If any in tbe
Senate. He is no orator but he has a fine in*
tellect and a judgement which may be relied
npon. He alms to do jastice, and is not a
very good party man. He voted last winter
steadily against tbe claims of Messrs Bright
and Filch to tbeir seats in the Seoate. He
was too proud to say a word for Lecompton,
though be was forced to go lor the bill.
Senator Hunter, is another of the first cia*?.
men of the natioo. There arc no great states
men in tbe country than he, though there may
be fctter. Mr. Hunter, lock* like an Icdian
his lace is so brown and ufc hair aod eyes are
so dark. He would strike a stranger as a
farmer in well to-do circumstances. He would
keep his opinion wben tbe senator first raigtd
to speak. He has a„ebrill, homely voice and
style, but as he waxes warm and progresses
in bis argument, the slranger perceives that
tbe man has a coolness and clearness and a
strength of logic, which usually belong to
great intellects alone. He is almost insignifi
cant in bis persoual aupearance—certainly bb
bas nothing abont him to indicate greatness
His fore head is low, and bis manners are eo
unpretending that it is only wbo know
his name that look npon htm with enrto.-ity.
