This man resembles in some tort the ancient king of kings; he is Agn loeinnon of the Trnjun war that the men of the past are waging against the men of the future.

The Coi.ob.ido. Tlio Colorado river is to me an enigma. Its waters hurry by us to-tlny as they have hurried on since the beginning. They bring no intelligence they uever did they come from a country wliero there are no post-offices. They have no history, and they never had o.ic and hare never heard other notes than those of the ferocious savages who iuhubit its bar ren banks; and who, like it, have only yielded sullenly to the power of intellect by the force of arms. It drains an inhospita ble country flowing from regions of Indi an superstitions, so obscuro that no light, except-the sun-light, cnu ever penetrate its silent wastes. It runs through canons of fabulous depth and extent, some of which the tons of terror are fearful of approach ing, so like arc they to the openings into the abodes of evil spirits. The "Great Canon," through which for hundreds of mlcs it rushes, at a depth so great that from its perpendicular heights no sound is lieurcl, although its foaming waters below can he seen, has a mythological interest .thut perhaps some day may be solved. The old trappers who have truverscd its borders speak of its terrors with hushed voices, even at long years of distance, as if some frightful image still haunted their memory. One old trapper describes this canon os he saw it when trupping for nutria, in these waters, thirty years ago. He followed JMny miles along the edges of tlio deep chosai, whence thousands of feet below he conld sec the angry waters dash against the disintegrating rocks. Ho thinks the riw is not navigable through the canou, from the rapids and rocks that impede its current, and that it would be disastrous, if not fatal, to attempt to navigate it. My friend relates thut the passion for doing daring deeds often seized upon the moan tsjnecrs in bis time, and that, to gratify this passion, on one occasion, two French trappers resolved to explore the secrets of us tesrlul gorge. They took a boat, Packed in their guns, rifles, and some pro wions, and, gaiy bidding adieu to their toraradea, set sail ou their perilous voyage, hot they were never afterwards heard of. Perhaps they found new hunting grounds, d are mill occupied in setting their traps. The Colorado, like the Nile, is subject to overflow, and upon this overflow depends Hthe fruitfulriess of its rich bottom lands. hen tue r;Ter gide the Iudians plant heir corn and melons, upon which, with foh from the river, they subsist.

TUa tree Liquor Diacaaalaa. Eo. A Hart: Allow me to speak to the license q iestion as presented by Mr. Noel's nru-lo puul,l.ed l,y you lust week. I Air- nwh you my numo according to rule, but .u, .Mjuur ,rurr, or a respect- nblo lupior drinktr, I suppose you do not care, uud perhaps it would be none of your business. The liquor business I. not a very respectable calling, therefore you will keep my imme dark, whilu I write and subscribe myself as though engaged in the trade. To be sure, I onght to be permitted to sell lupiors without paying for the privilege. I hold it to bo u legitlmato business, mid it would have been respectublo to this day if T. inpcrnnce men bad let it nlone. Who, over thirty years of oge, does not remem ber when our farmers, doctors, preachers, everybody, used liquors? Though things have been going crooked for some time, it is encouraging to ' honest liquor advocates' as Mr. HocPs resolution has it, to obsmo that mutters are coming arouud right ngain. Temperance men nre beginning to use cur rant wine, lager beer, ke., clearly recog uizing that alcohol is useful, used in mod eration. Indeed, some of them, verv ki'iii. imy, as i tiunk, advocate the use of uicoiioi in incse preparations as tho best means of promoting Temperance. But to tho main point. 1 know very well what the object is, of Mr. Hod and those of his extreme notions. They expect tho liquor business will de grade itself, produce disgust, and thereby cause the people to enact prohibition. Well, let it bo so; I have no fears about that. Rut if I knew that would bo tho result, 1 would still agree to the Salem proposition tnut lucre is but one of two grounds to occupy, '" trade or no trade." I am ashamed for uiy liquor friends, that they have uo more spirit than to drink taxed liquors. It is bad enough to uso drugged liquors, but to have them taxed unequally, is wrong. Tlio old tea dnuking ladies of '"0 had more spunk than we, for they refused to use tea while it was undv-r duty without a fair U-gudntire rep resentation. And tho fathers in thut day threw a large lot of the taxed article into tho sea round ubout Boston. Shouldn't j we do the same thing throw our liquors into the river if our legislators don't tuke the tax off, and let ushuve as fair a chance for business as our farmers? And would that uot br'ug them to terms straightway ? suggest to my liquor brethren throughout the State who love fair piny as well as good liquor, that wo go to Sal.'in at the next session of the Legislature and de mand the removal of the license system, and, if refused, buy all the liquor in town and throw it into the river, and not allow the members a drop till they come to terms. I hero would bo economy in this, as thcro would be no wasto of liquor at uny other point. Or, if too expensive to waste that much, wo could just close the shops till our reasonable demands were answered. Un like our forefathers on the ten question, tee nre generally well represented in our Legis latures, from Oregon to Washington. And the license system no doubt has been well meant by our friends, to favor the liquor trade. The price of liquor at Sa lem till recently was two bits a drink. Xow it is a bit. Even this is too high, and the expense of getting license makes it necessary to tho seller. Take off tbo exorbitant demand of fifty or ouc hundred dollars license fee, and liquor could bo ns well afforded for a picayune, or ut least 3 drinks for a quarter. Why should I pay three cents for every glass I drink as a tax to poy for license and to snpport the gov ernment, while the merchant pays nothing? It is nnjnst. I ask that I be allowed to trade, or drink on equal terms, or not at all. I believe our liquor men are much as Mr. Hoel says the Temperance men are: they will get liquor without tax, if they can, but they will be sure to get liquor. I have no affinity for Temperance men, but I certainly like the proposition of 're trade or no trade,' and I do hope that our liquor friends, as well as our fanatical Tem perance opponents, will have sense enongb to see the justice of every one selling who wants to, without hindrance or nobody. For one, I am willing to unite with our Temperauce brethren on this new platform. Won't we make an harmonious team?

TUa Terry Trial Varca. The cuio of Judge Terry, Indicted for hling a duel with Senator Iirodcrlck and killing hit antagonist, c.mo up btfor. the DiMrict Court of Mnriu County Judge James II. Hardy prenidcd, and a number of Jurors wero present. Judge Terry, Messrs. Hugo and Crittenden, his counsel, Mr. Hurruldson, District Attorney of Marin co., wcro ulso present. Jamea McM. Shufter, of Sun Francisco, was like wise there; but not engaged in this ease. Tho Court commenced at 0 o'clock, and the first case called was that of Terry; and tho following jury was empanneled: Gilbert Leonard, Grenada Kimr. Jacob Short. Jouilhan BeckerstafT. Muthias li'owers. James Olcott, Parker X. Coard, Solomon Hi lser, James B. Stafford, Charles Lnuff, Benjamin Miller, and Hiram 12. Knott As soon os tho jury was empanneled, the Court demunded that the case should pro ceed. Tho District Attorney, who was the representative of the prosecution, stated that tho witnesses of the people were not yet pros cut, nud aked fur a short delay. At this time, indeed, the yacht Restless, In which tho witnesses from this city had gone over, was very near to, and in full sight of Sun- Rafael. Theie were in it Chief Burke, Dr. McXully, Dr. Uolmun, Leonidas Haskell, Captain Lies, Henry Fritz, and others. i But tho Court seemed determined that the case must be rushed through, and no delay whatever would be granted. Mr Shafter indeed end avorod to bring up a motion in another case, for the pnrposo of allowing ! witnesses time to arrive; and the case of Terry, without witnesses or a chance of being beard, was rushed through a mock' ery of justice, a disgrace to the judicial history of California. Tho Court again demanded of the District Attorney whether he had any evidence to offer. The District Attorney replied that he had not. The Court then turned to the jury and notified it that it could retire and deliberate upon a verdict. The foreman of thut institution, Gilbert Leonard, replied, in effect, " Weil, Judge, it isn't worth while to retire. We've all pretty much made up our minds; haven't we, boys?" Tho " boys" answered " yes," and tl.e jury thereupon acquitted the accused, without leaving their seats, at 20 minutes before 10 o'clock, just about forty minutes after the convening of tho court. When witness es from Sun Francisco arrived at the spot, tho case for it cannot be culled a trial was over; and Terry was seen enjoying a horse-laugh at tho corner of one of the streets. It was not expected thntTery would be convicted. With such a Court, such a thing was far from being looked for. But it was thought that a decent respect to the forms of justice would have been observed, if nothing more; and that the trial, which was anticipated to be a farce in law, would uot have been one iu fuct. The defense and this term includes more than the de fendant and his attorneys overshot their mark, by making the whole affair a disgrace and a crying shame. Even Terry's friends, if they have a spark of honor about them, cannot but be disgusted with a judicial mockery, which must expose our Courts to the well merited contempt of the civilized world. This Terry's triul will remain a blot and a stain upon the unme of the State long after the memory of the Court itself shall have been wiped out from among the records of men. Elkctricitv. The nomination of Polk for President, made at Baltimore in 1844, was the first piece of news ever sent over the electric telegraph in this country, huv ing been announced in Washington two hours in advance of the mails.

Hannibal llamliu who was nominated on Friday by the Republican Convention at Chleugo for Vice-rrciidout, was born In Paris, Oxford Co., Maine, in August, 1809, and is now In the 51st year of his age. He Is by profession a lawyer, but for the last twenty-four years has lwert, for much of the time, In political life. From 1830 to 1840 he was a member of the Lrghtluture of Maine, and for three of those years ho was the Speaker of its House of Represen tatives. In 1843 ho was elected a member of Congress, and reelected for tho following term. Iu '47 he was again n member of the Stato Legislature, and the next year was chosru to fill a vacancy, occasioned by the death of John Full field, in tho United States Senate. Iu 1851 he was reelected for the full term in the samo body, but resigned on being chosen Governor of Maine in 1857. In the tamo mouth he was again elected to tho United States Senate for aix years, which office he accept ed, resigning the Governorship. n is still a member of tho Senate. This record is an evidence of tho confidence with which he has always been regarded by bis fellow-citizens in Maine. Up to tho time of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill iu 1854, Mr. Hamlin was a member of tho Democratic party. That act he regarded as a proof that the party, with which he had been all his life connected, no longer deserved the numo of Democratic, and was treacherous to the priuciplts he hud bo long cherished. Thenceforward ho gave his support to the Rcnublican nartv. of which he has ever i . siuco continued a fuithful and distinguished leader. Mr. Hamlin is a man of dignified pres ence, of solid abilities, of unflinching integ rity, and great executive talent. Familiar with the business of legislation, he is pecu liarly adapted, by tbe possession of all theso qualities, to Gil beneficially fur tlio con u try, and to his own and his party's honor, tho high post for which he has been nominated. The name of Hannibal Ham- lix of Maine is a fit second to that of A br au asi Lincoln of Illiuois. Military Movkme nts. The Moun tuiuccr says: Companies A, B, and M, 3d Artillery, under command of Major Andrews, arc now fitting out at Fort Dalles, to join Major Steen and Captain Smith in an expedition against tho Snake Indians; two companies of Dragoons from Walla Walla are also under orders to pro ceed to the Enme point. These companies are provisioned for two months, but may have occasion to remain longer in tho field, in case of which, provisions would be for warded to them. In consequence of this movement, it will be unnecessary for Lieut. Alexander to proceed to Harney Luke, ns was originally intended; tho order for which has been countermanded. When this force is concentrated there will be seven efficient companies In the field, and we hope the hostile tribes who infest that region of country, will receive a chastise ment that will effectuully prevent the rep etition of such outrages es were chronicled in onr lust issue. Colonel Wright, by his prompt action iu this matter, has furnished evidence, if such were wanting, of his emi nent fitness for tho position to which ho has just been assigned. France. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Star states that the annex ation of Belgium and the left bank of the Rhiue is now as coolly talked of in Puris us though it were a matter of course; and the optimist writer, who generally laughs at the rumors of war which disturb the world, now tells us that we are on the eve of great changes In Europe, of which the transfer of Belgium to Franco may be ouc. Moreover, he and the people of Paris arc now becoming fully alive to the fact that the Eastern qnestion is to re-opened by Russia, probably in conjunction with France, for the affectation of interest in the "unbearable position of the Christians in 18 omJ rcgaraea " a snanow P"1"1 for fresh 8S8ault 00 tlie P0 ins of ""'8 tick mnn-" .

Jaaaa. From a work published in England, by Andrew Steinmit, Esq., we learn of Japan that with a population of forty millions of wealthy and civilized inhabitants, her vie luges touch each other, and form streets many leagues In extent. Her towns are crowded. Jcddo, the capital of the empire, Is more than one-half larger than Paris, and la only less jxipulous than London by three or four huudrcd thousand. There arc 354 Inhabitants to the square mile; France has only lo t, tho United Kingdom 152, Germany 127, Italy 172, Hollaud 24, Spain 03, Inhabitants to tho sbuarc mile. St. Francis Xavier, tho Alexander of the Jesuit mission, said of them, more than two hundred years ago, " they arc truly tho delight of my heart." That was before Harrcquen performed his functions as Jav anese inquisitor, and before the Jupancso police asked the Dutchmen if they were Chnstiuns, and they, to save their lives, exclaimed, " Christians! Christians! we are Dutchmen." Jcddo, on the island of Xiphon, the cap- ital of the empire, with a population of three millions, is said to be, without exception, one of tho finest cities iu the world, planted with rows of trees, mostly of cedar, inter spersed with flower gardens; and the houses of the princes and nobles are pulaces, one of tlicin containing sometimes ten thousand followers of the owner. There arc 3850 is- : lands that comprise the empire, which con tains 12,570 square leagues, lho use of animal food is interdicted by tho nutionul religion. Of milk and butter they know nothing. Rice is tho main food and it is the best quality in all Asia, per fectly white, and so nourishing and suhstuu- tial thut foreigners not used to it can eat but little at a time, P5T The following la the official letter of Abraham Lincoln, accepting tho Re publican nomination: SrRixuKiKi.n.

The Ckxsus. Tho result of tho census of 1800, which wus commenced all over the country on the 1st of June, has been vari ously estimated, some peoplo culculatinj thut it will show a population in lho Uni ted States of thirty-five millions, which is pohnbly too large a figure. The likelihood is that the population of the country at the present time is about thirty-threo millions, which will show un Increuso of ten millions, sinco 1850, or about thirty-seven per cent. Wo find that the average increase each decade since the year 1800 was thirty five per ceut. varying from thirty-threo to thirty-seven percent. The some ratio of increase for the last decade would therefore make the population of tho U. S. In 1800 about thirty-three millions. Foi'R Trains at a Time. The Illinois Ccutrul Railroad at a town culled Mat- toon, is crossed by the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad. Every day, at 2 p. u. are seen four trains coming from four dif ferant directions, arriving at this point nt the same time, to a second, every day. They can be seen as they approach, for ten miles in each direction, the prairies there being a smooth, broad expanse, strotchin; away to the horizon without any , inequal ities to obstruct the sight. As these ar rive, their cow-catchers appronch to with in twelve feet of each other, as. though ex changing salutations, when, gracefully backing, as though bidding adicn, two of the trains go on the twitches, while the other two scream away over the iron-bound prs'rie. iST Mr. Winslow, of Xorth Carolina, in a speech lately delivered in Congress, said: He was early taught that there were three classes of peoplo that ho ought to avoid all controversy with one class was the preachers, for they had the pulpit to denounce turn from, while ue had none to reply from; the next was the editors of papers, who had the columns of their jour nals to carry on a controversy, while he bad none; tne nest was the women, who would always bare the last word. The Petersburg Intelligencer figures op tho actual State debt of Virginia to be opward of $48,000,000, with do prosfject of any diminution.
