Douglas in a Jam.

Saturday: A procession was formed, and marched rapidly behind a band of music to the Bur-

Lyne F. Johnnuh," somebody else gruffly responded, as i!" mad that an Irishman should presume, in a Democratic crowd,

through the ciowd like a felon—very much as the police sometimes take a scamp to prison. In fact if the editor of tho Enquirer should happen to see any of Mayor Bishop's police hustle a rascal into the station house after tho same fashion, he would howl with agony every Sunday- morning for a month. But we digress. Mr. ScliitT succeeded in dragging his chief through the .crowd to the counter of the Burnet.— "Stephen A. Douglas, Illinois," was recorded on the register, when he was again pulled and jammed into his room, where, we have no doubt, he offered thanks for his escape—H lie has any gratitude in his nature he aid Attention now being directed elsewnere. the crowd lushed to the register to gaze upon the Douglas autograph, and some of theui probably watched it all night. We regard it extremely fortunate for the Little Giant that nature provided him with a strong constitution. Otherwiso a few such "rips" like that at the Burnet last night would finish him before the DeDemocracy go down to Charleston.H--

The sptcch which Mr. Douglas delivered at night is reported in full in the Gazette, but as it contains nothing not already well known, regarding Mr. Douglas or his

views, we are not disposed to mnke extracts from it.—Ind. Junr.

JUDGE DOUGLAS AT THE SOUTH. The Southern Democratic papets are •furious over Judge DOUGLAS'.recent speech in Ohio. The Lourisvilje Courier thus concludes an article of unusual bitterness for that very bitter paper

If Judge Douglas goes in the same style in the speeches ho may hereafter deliver, as he did at Columbus, then his speeches will damage him as much, if not more than his copy-righted essay in Harper. His assaults on the Southern Democracy are uncalled for, ungenerous, and, coming from Stephen A. Douglas, are an act of uneqnaled coohiess. and afTrontry. He calls those Tories who advocate congressional intervention. ^If this be so, then has Judge Douglas, until the last few years, been a Tory of the deepest dye. Ho has voted for the application of the Missouri Compromise to our Territories he voted that the laws Oregan of Ter'rial Legislature should be examined and reapealed by Congress he has held that the people of Kansas could not call a convention to make a constitution without an "enabling act" from Congress he went also for the celebrated Toombs bill, and voted against the Lecompton Constitution because it was not ratified in the way he, not the people of Kansas, wanted. Douglas talk against intervention! His own congressional career refutes and answers him it is a withering satire on his professed non-intervention.— Douglas talk about interventionists being Tories—then ho is the very head and front.

The Deinocmcy and the Negroes.

The Republican Convention for the County of Muskingum, a few days ago,

passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the very large and increasing ingress of free negroes into Ohio since tho repeal in 1858-59 by the Democratic members of the Ohio Legislatures of the legal disabilities then existing, renders it a serious question whether some efficient legislation should not be adopted to protect our State from becoming the Lazar-house of the worn out and worthless population of the United States.

This is "cutting under" the Democracy, who claim to have a prescriptive right to monopolize all the Demagoguery about the "gentlemen from Africa." The adoption of the above resolution sets the Ohio Statesman crazy, and it severely denounces the Muskingum Republicans for stealing Democratic plunder. The nigger organ is inconsolable.—Dayton Gazelle.

From the Memphis Enquirer, Sept. G. Horrible Tragedy.

Wre are informed by Mr. II. Grove, of Peoria, Illinois, a passenger by the J. II. Dickey, which arrived yesterday from St. Louis, that he witnessed a most horrible tragedy on Sunday last, at a place called Compromise. The circumstances of this heart-rending affair, as related to us, are as follows-: As tho Dickey landed at Compromise to put off tho mail, the Postmaster of that place, Mr. Sparr, approached the mai! agent, who had not made the two or three last trips, and said^ to him. "WTe have had some bloody times of late, and we have to go prepared," at the same time throwing back his coat and exhibiting a revolver. "Why?" says the agent. "Because our country is infested by a lot of thieves, such as this man," pointing to a man close by named Shultz, who was the only one at the levee previous to the landing of the Dickey, besides the Postmaster.

Shultz then remarked that he was a most infamous liar, and destitute of every principle of a gentleman. W7hereupon the Postmaster placed his hand on his pistol as if in the act of drawing it, when Shultz shot Mr. Sparr in the left side of his abdomcn. Shultz then retreated at a rapid paco about thirty feet, when Sparr fired 4 shots at him in rapid succession, but without effect. Sparr then took deliberate aim at him across a stump, but his pistol missed. Shultz immediately rushed back at Sparr and shot him twice more through his body. Then they had a hand to hand encounter, Shultz falling under, aiid Span pounding him about the head with his pistol. Presently athird party came up with a double barrel shot gun to shoot Shultz through the head, but through the advice of tho agent and others he did not. Sparr soon became so weak that Shultz threw him off, and on his (Shultz) rising he was struck a powerful blow over the head with the gun, which appeared to craze him and ho instantly ran into the river up to his shoulders, and on his looking back and seeing the gun leveled at him, he dodged his head under the water, holding it there as long as he could without strangling and on looking up and seeing the gun pointed at him he held it again under water, and this process was repeated till he drowned. The Postmaster was alive when our informant left, but it was thought he could not recover.

Three Men Ruined by one Lottery Prize.

A man has ten chances of being struck by lightning to one of drawing a prize in a lottery, and all experience shows that the drawing of a prize, when such a rare event does occur, is the worst accident that can befall a man. A striking illustration of this fact has just occurred in New Orleans. A young man who had lost all his money at a gaming table, staked a lottery ticket as his last throw, and lost it. The winner of the ticket having no confidence in lotteries, proposed to throw dice for it at twenty-five cents a chance, A bystander who never had a hundred dollars in his life won the ticket, and in a few days found himself the lucky holder of a prize of $25,000. He at once invested a round sum in jewelry and flashy garments, and is leading a life of incessant revelry which will soon dispose of his accidental fortune and leave him poorer than he was before, by the possession of perverted tastes and destructive habits. The man who first held the ticket, on hearing that it had drawn a prize, became possessed of an excitement which brought on brain fever and ended in idiotic madness. The second holder of the ticket, who did not believe in lotteries, has become a monomaniac on the subject, does nothing but tell the story of his folly in disposing of the lucky ticket, and is unfitted for all business. His mania is hardly less hopeless than the fixed insanity of the first holder. Thus one prize in a lottery has ruined three men and benefitted nobody. The facts carry their own lesson along with them, and he that runs may read.— <Springfield Republican>. ~~~~~~~~

He who masters his passion's, subdues a fearful onemv.

MR. GREELEY IN CALIFORNIA. In writing of the Carson river, from Placerville, Aug. 1, the editor of the Trib­-

une says:= "Though the Carson sinks in or is absorbed by the same desert with the Humboldt, a glance at its first estate suffices to convince the traveler that the former waters by far the more hopeful region. Large Cottonwoods dot its banks very near its mouth, and its valley, wherever moist, is easily rendered productive. You feel that you are once more in a land where the arm of Industry need not be paralyzed by sterility, obstruction, and despair. "Still, the prevalence of drouth is here a fearful fact. No rain in Summer—that is, none that can be calculated on, none that amounts to anything—might well appall the cultivator accustomed to warm, refreshing showers throughout the growing season. We crossed, on our rapid ride up the Carson, a single high plain twenty six miles long and from six to twelve wide which drouth alone dooms to Sagebrush, sterility, and worthlessness. Two or three other plains or high intervals further up are nearly as scorched and barren. All these may be rendered more productive by irrigation, and here is the water at hand.

If the new Gold Mines in the valley shall ultimately justify their present promise, a very large demand for Vegetable Food will speedily spring up here, which can only be satisfied by domestic production. "The vast deserts eastward cannot meet it, the arable region about Salt Lake is at once too restricted and too distant; inland California is a dear country, and the transportation of bulky staples over the Sierra a costly operation. The time will ultimately come—it may or may not be in our day—when two or three great dams over the Carson will render the irrigation of these broad, arid plains on its banks perfectly feasible and then this will be one of the most productive regions on earth.— The vegetable food of One Million People can easily be grown here, while their cattle may be reared and fed in the mountainvales north and south of this valley. And when the best works shall have been constructed, and all the lights of science and experience brought to bear on the subject, it will be found that nearly everything that contributes to human or brute sustenance can be grown actually cheaper by the aid of irrigation than without it. As yet, we know little or nothing of the application of water to land and crops, and our ignorance causes deplorable waste and blundering. Every year henceforth will make us wiser on this head."

And in speaking of Carson Valley, he

adds: "I had previously seen some beautiful valleys, but I place none of these ahead of Carson. I judge that portion of it already in good part under cultivation about thirty miles long by ten to fifteen wide—an area destined to be largely increased, as I have already indicated. This valley, originally a grand meadow, the home of the deer and the antelope, is nearly inclosed by high mountains, down which, especially from the north and west, come innumerable rivulets, leaping and dancing in their way to join the Carson. Easily arrested and controlled, because of the extreme shallowness of their beds, these streams have been made to irrigate a large portion of the upper valley, producing an abundance of the sweetest grass and insuring a bounteous harvest also of vegetables, barley, oats, &c. Wheat seems to do fairly here; corn not so well; in fact the nights are too cold for it if the water were not.— For this spring water leaping suddenly down from its mountain sources, is too cold, too pure, to be well adapted to irrigation; could it be held back even a week, and exposed in shallow pounds or basins to the hot sunshine, it would be vastly more useful. When the whole river shall have been made available, twenty to forty miles below, it will prove far more nutritious and fertilizing." ~~~~~

----->The Jasper County <Gazette> says that a liquor dealer of that place was warned to leave not long since, before doing so came in collision with a sturdy blacksmith named Case, who hurried his moving in the following ludicrous manner:

Case then gave him a kick in the seat of honor, exclaiming at the same time, "Get!" Lewis started on a run, asking, "What have I been doing?" "Get!" accompanied by another kick, was the response.— "Ain't I getting!" exclaimed the poor doggery keeper, clasping one hand on the seat of pain, while his legs were doing their utmost duty to carry his body out of reach of tho tremendous foot of the muscular blacksmith. The way he "threw the gravel" was wonderful to behold as he doubled the corner, and the last that was seen of him he was two or three miles from town, with his coat under his arm, his hat in his hand, with one foot booted and the other bare, making every effort to increase the distance between himself and Rensselaro, and well he might, for he has no sympathizers here.

New Discoveries About Denver City— Extensive Silver Mines. Col. Vital Jarrot has recently written a letter to his friends in St. Clair county, Illinois, announcing the discovery by him of an extensive lead of silver, which promises a large yield of wealth.

Col. Jarrot writes that the region in which he and his party are, is surely a gold region, though the miners in general have not yet found the ore in such quantities as to remunerate for going thither.— The Colonel and his party have been rather more fortunate, having discovered at the Gold Run a rich lead of mineral two feet thick and six hundred feet in length.— Twenty pounds from this mine were sent to Dr. Lee, at Denver City, to be analyzed and was found to contain five parts silver, three parts gold, three parts iron, and one part copper. As much as five thousand pounds of the ore per day have been taken out, and the greatest excitement prevailed in the neighborhood at the time of writing this letter, August 3d. The whole country was likewise in commotion in reference to these new diggings reported to be very rich.—<St. Louis Republican>. ~~~~~~~~

Death of a Patriarchal Printer. The Hartford, Connecticut Press of the

6th, pays* We regret to announcerf£o-da3' the doath of Col. Samuel.Green, in the 92d year of his ago. He had for some time been extremely feeble, and his death was not unexpected, either by himself or his friends. He died at the residence of his son, Dr. G. S. Green, in this city, at 12£ o'clock this noon."

Col. Green was the oldest printer in this State—possibly in tho United States—and was long actively connected with tho newspaper press in Connecticut. He was born in New London, where his father carried on the printing bnsincs, but in early lifts went to New York as a clerk in a large mercantile house, where he earned the reputation of being an unusually active business man. Yielding to his father's wish, however, he gave up tempting offers for mercantile life, and entered the printing office in New London. Subsequently he was in partnership with his father, and on the death of tho latter, in 1796, succeeded to the entire business.

The paper established by his father—the New London Gazette—was continued by him until 1838, when, the labor being too much for his advancing years, he disposed of it to John Jay Hyde. Mr. Green was a vigorous writer, and made an able paper, one of which had a large patronage. During a portion of the time he was publisher of. the paper, he owned and carried on a paper mill, designed primarily to obviate his own inconveniences in procuring elsewhere the necessary supply.

Colonel Green was a connecting link between the printers of the present day and the earliest printors in New England. By his death the chain is broken, as none ofj his descendants continue in the business,

The first press in the colonies was erected in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1638, by Stephen Day, who came from England for the purpose. He was not very successful, and in 1649 the printing office was placed under the management of Samuel Par Green, who came to this country with his parents in 1630, at the age of 16 years.— Ilis son, Samuel Green, Jr., who learned the trade of his father, established himself in business in Boston, where he died in 1690. His son, Timothy Green, was in business in Boston in 1700, and in 171-1 he lemoved to New London.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER AN-GLO-SAXON. FARTHER POINT, (below Quebec) Sept. 12.—The stcamnliip Anglo Saxon from Liverpool with dates the 31st ult., is below, coming up on her way to Quebec.

The steamship Tutonia arrived at Southampton early on the morning of the 30th. The steamer Nova Scotia reached Liverpool at 8 o'clock on the evening of the same day.

The crew of the ship Ben Bolt, reported as wreck by tho Ocean Queen, were saved. The vessel was insured in London.— She was on her voyage from Quito to London, with a cargo shipped at Havana.

A telegraph from Berne says the reports of the proceedings of the Zurich Confederation continue to be contradictory, but there is every reason to believe that the Sardinian plenipotentiary will not affix his signature to any protocol in favor of the return of the deposed rulers of the Duchies.

ITAI.Y.—No change has taken place in Italian affairs. A deputation from the National Assembly of Modena has gone on a special mission to the Emperor Napoleon.

The people at Naples are much excited in consequence of the high price of corn. EXOLAXD.—The directors of the steamer Great Eastern have declined Mr. Lewers' last offer, and their original programme will be carried out. The vessel has been closed to the admission of tha public, and was to leavo the Thames in a day or two, and be ready to leave for Portland, Maine, on the 15th of September.

Hunt, the celebrated author, died at London on the 28th ult., in the 75th year of his age.

FRANCE.—The Emperor remains in retirement in the Pyrencs. It is rumored that he will shortly proceed to Cherbourg and pay a sccond visit to the camp at Chalons.

Tho Paris Constitutional, in a leading article, says that the Emperor will loyally fulfill hi3 Villa Franca agreement for the l-estoration of the former reigning Princes, but if ho should not succeed in reinstating tho Princess and their people in mutual accused, it is not his.intention to force either the one or the other.

Arrival of the Steamer Star of the West. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The steamship Star of the WTest with California mails and treasure, is below.— Her dates are to the 20th ult., and have been anticipated via New Orleans.

She brings upwards of $2,800,000 in treasure, and nearly 500 passengers. The steamer Golden Gate with the New York passengers and mails of July, arrived San Francisco on the 13th of August and the Cortez opposition steamer on the 14th.— The Star of the West loft Aspinwall on the second and Key West on the 7th inst. The steamer Roonolce Corvelle Preble an/1 the stone ship Relief were at Aspinwall all well. The frigate Fulton was at Key West to Bail in a few days.

There was a severe gale at Aspinwall on the 29th ult., doing considerable damage to buildings one man was.killed by the falling of the walls of his building.

The frigates Merrimac and Saranac and sloop-of-war Vandalia and the steamship Wrarren remained at Panama.

The Vandalia would leave for home

The sloops-of-war W. Marcy and Cavane were on the Central American coast. Advices from Guayaquil Equador, Aug. 19th, state that the Peruvian fleet was prering to bombard that city, and all the upper class of citizens had icmovcd from the city, those who remained were preparing for a desperate resistance. Gen. Castillo was momentarily expected with all his force from Callo.

Tho principal consignees of the specie brought by the steamer Star of the West are Wells, Fargo & Co., 8300,000 Freeman & Co., $60,000 American Exchange Bank, §206,000 Duncan, Sherman & Co., $111,000 Metropolitan Ji'k, §102,000, E. Kelly & Co., $106,000 A. Belmont, $162,000.

Houston "No Democrat." A Democratic paper in Missouri—the organ of Senator Green—don't like Sam Houston, notwithstanding his election as Governor of Texas. It thus displays, in a very compendious and emphatic form, the old veteran's numerous sins: "Wrhat Democrats, or at least men who call themselves Democrats, can see in Sam Houston to entitle him to the name of Democrat wo can't divine. He opposed the Kansas Nebraska Bill, fonght^General

Pierce's administration, approved of faction in the Democratic party, belongs to the Know Nothings, wars on Buchanan's Administration, bolted a Democratic nomination, and does not endorse the Dempcratic party or its platform. He's no Democrat for us."

Queer Freak of a Bull!

As the express train bound to Philadelphia was inning three or four miles bel oxv Elizabethtown, on last Tuesday morning, tho locomotive was attacked by a large bull, who, heedless of consequences, np-1 pcared determined on the demolition of the engine. The shock, as a matter of course, was tremendous, throwing tho locomotive to one side aud the express car to the other. The engine was entirely wrecked. The engineer, Will inn Brommel, and the fireman, David German, wore both severely scalded, and in the fall of the engine into an adjoining field they were severely injured. The bull had his horns broken off close to his head, while his body was so mutilated that his viscera were exposed.

Writh the exceptions of the persons already named there was no injury. It is little short of a miracle that there was not a serious loss of life. Upon the first shock six oi eight gentleman who vvero in the baggage car jumped into the aisle just in time to save themselves from the wheels, which the next instant came crushing through their seats. In the other cars, the shock threw the passengers from their places. The track was torn up far a considerable distance.—Phil. Gazette, 29/h.

Love of Country.

There is a love of country which comes uncalled for, one knows not how. It comes in with tho very air, the eye, the ear the instincts, the first taste cf miner's milk, the first beating of the heart.— The face? of brother? and sisters, and the loved, father and mother—the laugh of playmates, the old willow tree, and well, and schoolhouse, the bees at woik in the spring, the note of the robin at evening, the lullaby, the cows coming home, the singing-book, the catechism, the visits of neighbors, the general traifiing—all things which make childhood happy, begin it and then as the age of the passions and the age of the reason draw on, and love and the sense of home and security and of property under law, comes to life —and as the story goes round, and as the book or the newspaper relates the less favored lots of other lands, and the public and the private sense of a man in forming and formed, there is a type of patriotism already. Thus they had imbibed it who stood that charge at Concord, and they who hung deadly on the retreat, and they who threw.np tho hasty and imperfect redoubt on Bunker Hill by night, set on it the blood-red provincial flag, and passed so calmly with Prescott and Putnam and Warren through the experience of the first fire.—Rufus Choat.

SPKI.LIN'G LESSON.—"John, come up with your lesson. "W hat does g-l-a-s-s spell?" "Well, 1 knew once—but I'm darned if I don't forget now." "Pshawl what is it in your mother's window sashes?"

There's so many things, that gosh darn me if I can remember'em all. Let me see! Thar's the hoss blanket in one place brother Job's white hat in another sister Patience's bonnet in another, and dad's trousers in the smash that Zeb and I made yesterday." "That'll do, Joh'nriy, you may go and pLy a little while."-
