El)c lUcekln (enterprise. Oregon City, Oregon : Saturday, November 3, 1866. Mexican Affaiks. Rumors pre Tail of negotiations for an American pro tectorate orer Mexico. It is said that Lower California will be ceded and a new boundary drawn through Chihuahua and Sonora. General Sheridan has instructed General Sedgwick to warn all adventurers of any party or pretended government in Mexico, or in the State of Tamaulipas, that they will not be permitted to violate the neutrality laws between" the Liberal Government of Mexico and the United States, and they will not be permitted to remain in our Territory, or receive the protection of our flag in order to complete their mechinations for the vio lation of our neutrality laws. These in structions will be enforced against the ad herents of the Imperial buccaneers repre senting the so-called Imperial Government of Mexico, and also against the Ortega, Santa Anna and other factions. General Castelnau arrived at Vera Cruz on the 12th of October. His instructions are to send to France in two detachments all French troops, lie brings besides,a message from Napoleon to ilaximilian, advising him to abdicate in favor of anybody he pleases, and to go home, lie is authorized to offer Maximilian the pro tection of the French flag, with a view that he return in safety. Elections East. We learn from telegrams to the Oregon ian that the elections Last have uniformly resulted in large Re publican gains, Not a State has been lost the Congressional plan of reconstruction has been strengthened. Vermont elects Justin S. Merrill Senator for the full term, and Foland for the vacancy until next March; also Edmunds for the balance of the teim he now occupies. Pennsylvania elect the Uuion ticket. Western Virginia elects a Union Governor, Boreman, three Congress men, and all the legislature. The Indiana official vote is, for Secretary of State, Trustin, Republican, 1GC,61S; Munson, Democrat, 255,190. It will be seen that the totals are iu all cases largely increased over the votes for Lincoln and McClellan, two years ago. Modesty and Cheek. The follow ing telegram was sent from London through the cable, at a cost of $ I per letter. It shows American modesty and English cheek. In asmuch as Americans generally " don't care a cuss" for the opinions of the English press it is rather brassy : London', Sept. 12, 1SG6. The Morning Pout of to-day in an editorial warmly ap plauds the policy of non-intervention of the United States m the war between Spain and the South American republics Chile aud Peru and cordially approves the modera tion evinced by the" United States in regard to Mexico. Hare Curiosity. A few days ago the workmen employed in blasting rock at Oswego turned out a family of turtles, not very young, it is presumed, as they must have been encased for ages. Dr. Chapman, of Portland, was presented with the lot. The Oregonian says seven of them, about as wide as a half dollar, were able to be about and were quite lively, while two others were yet in the shell. Commercial. The steamship Ori fiimme, cleared from Portland for San Fran cisco, on Thursday-evening. The monopoly steamer Pacijic, and the opposition steamer, the Mont-ana of the Anchor line, are now en route to Portland, and will clear during the text week. Times in Montana. Tne Helens end Virginia City papers boast of lively times, good mining, and rich new discover ies throughout that country. Some who lately returned trom there tell a different story, but circumstances corroborate the itatements of the papers. Big Thing. The Avalanche says the Poorman continues to yield as rich as ever, and the ore from the mine furnishes steady employment to thirty-five stamps, aside from the richest ore, which is boxed up and sent East. Bishop Kavan aug ii. Bishop Kav anaugh has lately arrived in Oregon. He bs been presiding over the deliberations of the annual session of the Columbia Confer ence of the M. E. Church South, in session at Corrallis the past week. New Discovery. Mr. John R. Foster informs the Orcaonian that hill dif gings were discovered last week within a luile and a half of Umatilla city, on Umatilla river, which prospect from 5 to 10 cents to the pan. Walla Walla Furnace Among the pieces of new machinery beinj made at the Willamette Iron Works, Portland, ire castings for a new cupola furnace being put up at Walla Walla, by Phillips k Co. " Oregon Volunteers. The Ore oottian says Capt. White with his company " I," of the Oregon cavalry, is on his way to Fort Vancouver for muster out. Capt. Sprague's company of infantry will then be the onlv Oretron soldiers left in the service. The Branch Mint. Sheritt & McGraw, the Dalles counterfeiters, have been committed for trial, in default of bail. The coin said to have been ' minted" by these fellows has found its way, in small Minis, into the Willamette Valley. New Post Route It is stated on the authority f the postmaster at Jackson ville that a post route has been established from Jacksonville to Silver City, Idaho, by tho way of Ft. Klamaih. Eon Honolulu. We understand that Mr Dsrid McCully, T. McF- Patton, and several other prominent citizens of our State, will be passengers for Honolulu by the bark A. A. Eldridge. A. T. Stewart intimates his readi ness to give $1300,006 for the, erection of tenement houses for loiserring poor of that city, the condition bcin that the land re quired be prorided. JOn tile War Path.

In our search after gold and silver in other portions of the State, and in the adjoining Territories, we have almost overlooked the wealth that remains undeveloped in this valley, and is widely dispersed throughout the entire State. These consist principally of agriculture and wool growing. The peo ple of the State are the masters of enormous wealth in this respect, and yet they seem almost unconscious of it, We see the value of the wool product by a glance at the as sessment returns for the vear, and from sta tistics such as we have been able to collect from parties with whom we have recently conversed on the subject. The wool clip for 1866 has largely exceeded that of any previous yesr, which is evidence that the farming community have taken a more lively interest in the matter. It is believed that the entire clip has now eome forward, and it has generally been in good condition but not in that excellent condition that is far better for all parties concerned. The practice in vogue of buying and selling wool without having it first properly graded works disadvantageously, and ought to be remedied. Notwithstanding tbis,the increase in the growing of this article in our State shows the progress that is making in the production of this essential to the wants and comfort of the people. Last year the clip of the State aggregated about 900,000 pounds. For 1866 the following amounts have been purchased for supplying the demands of our home manufacturers : Salem Factory 400,000 lbs. Oregon City 35u,00u " Browusville " 150,000 " Dallas " 75,000 " Total 975,000 There has been exported by parties, lots as follows through Portland : Cook k McCully 123,000 lbs. Ross, Demster k 'Jo 50,000 " Goldsmith k Blauding 25,000 " Clark k Perkins 25,000 " And private parties at least 50,000 " Total 275,000 " Lord k Peters, and others have shipped from the State, via Crescent City, not less than 125,000 pounds giving us an aggregate for this year's clip of 1,350,000 pounds. This aggregate has been somewhat swelled in consequence of shipments from east of the Cascade mountains. We may safely pre sume, however, that the clip of wool for 167, in the Willamette Valley, will go ma terially over the above figures, and it is reasonably expected that 1,500,000 poun-Js will be the aggregate. It is hardly proba ble that the prices current the past year will diminish, which, for that amount of wool would leave the producers 375,000, and the increase of their flocks. TnE People's Transportation Co. Since the People's Transportation Com pany came in possession of the property they now own and control at this place,they have proven an era in the growth and pros perity of the city. Their immense works are now nearly completed and ready for use. The basin extension was commenced on the 12th oi last August, under the superintend ence of Capt. J. Kellogg, and according to his own plans. The new arm or extension nearly reaches their Canemah warehouse, and is raised higher than the high water mark of 1S01. It is constructed as follows : Three parallel timbers 15 inches square (all the timbers average this size) are bolted to the bedrock with 1 1-4 inch iron. Cross timbers laid on and bolted to form a bot tom; three timbers are bolted on each side with cross-ties every ten feet, 17 feet high. This huge bin of timber and iron is 2,1 00 feet long, 20 feet wide in the main on the top, and 82 feet wide at the angles, and from 12 to 17 feet high. There were twenty-two tons of iron bolts used to fasten this ponderable bar rier, and the workmen are now loading it with hundreds of thousands of tons of rock. Our Woolen Factory. We say " our woolen factory" because of the fact that now editorially 44 we" are directly " in terested" in everything that appertains to the prosperity of Oregon City and the county of Clackamas. Well, our woolen factory is in full operation. Eighty operatives men and women are employed every day no Chinese trash among them. Twenty thou sand yards of superior woolen goods are manufactured every month. The new ma chinery, due from the East some time, is ar riving Three of the new "jacks" have been set up. When this all arrives the Oregon City factory will have eight spring jacks, six setts of cards, or eighteen breakers, and twenty-five looms. An addition to the build ing 60 feet by 50, four stories high, will be built next season of brick, to conform with the main building now occupied, which is four stories high, 9o feet by 50. Mr. D P. Thompson, President, James Winston, Sec retary, and R. II. Duncan, Superintendent, take pleasure in showing visitors through the extensive works. The company have thus far been unable to get any large amount of goods ahead of their orders. Personal. We acknowledge mi ni erous visits from friends in this county and other counties of the State during the past week. Gen. Hamilton of Portland, one of the old 'uns, called in to see how his old office now appeared as our sanctum. Mr. Noltner of the Salem Review, and a gentle man connected with the Sentinel &t Jackson ville, have placed us in their debt one call. Mr. Lewis, of Seller, Frankenau & Co., Port land, left US a token of hi nnnrenintinn nf r jt i ik fc. a v . A j our services. Mr. D. P. Thompson of this I city, who has been absent on a surveying ex pedition most of the season east of Fort Klamath, has returned and resumed his busi ness among us as President of the Manufac turing Company. lie called upon us a few moments, and we learned from him that that region of country is highly susceptible of cultivation. It is a section which presents great inducements to settlers. Mr. Thomp son surveyed numerous townships, and the lands are now open to purchase and settle ment. Serious Accident. A correspon dent informs us of a paiuful accident which occurred near Needy on Friday of last week. A young man by the name of E. L. Boynton accidentally shot himself with a shot gun charged with eighteen buck shot. . lie was standing -en the fence with the breech of the gnu resting by his feet, when it slip ped and the kamraer striking a rail it was discharged, tearing a.vay the muscle of his arm and loci wins several shot in his shoulder. Suspended. We regret to state that the Oregon Agriculturist suspended pub lication on the ivth for want of support. Hot?J;o Stimulate Emigration. The Press of California has recently had much to say regarding the importance of en couraging emigration from the Atlantic States and Europe to California. The Sac ramento Union has the following upon this subject, which is worthy of attention in Ore gon. We quote: Our State is admitted to be in a more pros perous and inviting condition than at any period during the past five years. Its in dustries rest upon a more substantialbasis. The capabilities of the country are Letter and more generally appreciated. It is agreed that California wants nothing but a large increase of laboring force to insure her a splendid development of wealth and power. But how to get the people? there's the rub. Except the suggestion that for cheap labor we must look to China, which is certainly ready to spare us a million or so of servile rice-eaters, no practical ideas are broached. Advertising the magnificent opportunities offered to the industrious and enterprising people of the older States by California, by publishing abroad tempting accounts of the resources of this region, is an expedient without novelty or perceptible utility. The Golden State has been largely advertised al ready. More books have been written upon this theme than we can count. From ls50, when every literary gold seeker who return ed to his Eastern home with a belt full of" the precious stuff" felt a call to make a volume or a pamphlet about the land he had visited, dovn to the present era, when California culture occupies a goodly share of space in the reports of the Agricultural Department when Eastern journals have regular cor re pondents here when Bowles' flattering book circulates by scores of thousands, and when the wines we produce are daily sold in the Atlantic cities we have had as much advertising of our resources aud peculiari ties as could be desired. The State has never ceased to be an El Dot ado and a Land of Promise to the mass of our own people and to thousands in the Old World. More over, a steady stream of population has been flowing to this coast. portion of those who came have made fortunes and re turned to their old homes in search of en joyment, or failed and retired in disgust; but the chief reason why we have not been able to show a larger census is that Californians have been engaged in founding new States and prospecting new mineral regions from Montana to Arizona. We have now a greater permanent population a greater number of people who have taken root and become identified with the State than at any previous period of our history. We want more of the same sort, for the country to be developed is vast, and the hands for the plow, the pick, the loom and the forge are only numerous enough for a little State like Vermont. To stimulate emigration to this inviting region, it is evident that some thing more than a repetition of its well known attractions is needed. California is further from the great hives of white popu lation than any other Stale except Oregon, and the main obstacle to an increase of the tide of emigration is obviously the cost of transportation. We know that the emi grants who are pouring into Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas could do better here than in either of those States, and probably many of those people are equally aware of the fact. But how are they to reach California? A party of Eastern poli ticians and journalists thought the overland journey such a glorious triumph over the obstacles of nature that they had to write books and lecture to wandering crowds on the subject. It is a weary and expensive journey by land or sea to reach our Sate from the Atlantic coast. Now if we had such a Bureau of Emigration as they have established in Missouri and several other States, or if the great landholders and pro prietors of mines would organize an associa tion on the plan of those founded in a num ber of the Southern States before the rival of the Confederate spirit of exclusion, some arrangement might be effected lor cheapen ing the coast of travel to this coast by sea, while the Pacific Railroad is in progress of construction, or for advancing at least a por tion of the passage money to worthy emi grants, upon condition of repayment within a certain time after their arrival and settle ment. An official Bureau of Emigration is likely to degenerate into a political agency, and by falling under the control of incom petent politicians, to turn out an ineffectual instrument for the work to be done. It would be better for the parties most deeply interested in promoting the influx of popula tion that is, those who have lands to sell and those who are largeljr engaged iu min ing to organize an Emigrant Aid Associa tion and go to work upon a well-considered system, obtaining the needed light by cou suiting the plans of similar associations in the East, selecting energetic and trustworthy agents aud raising the capital required for efficient operations. Unless some such or ganization can be started, it is useless to talk about encouraging emigration. We shall have to quietly await the completion of the Pacific Railroad and the settlement of much territory between the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains, hoping that from that time forward our population will be gin to show a large increase every year, and that then the fruitful valleys and golden hills of California will obtain their prope share of the great mass of working hu manity. Stations, Distances and Eleva tions. For convenient reference, says the San Francisco Bulletin, and to illustrate at a glance the up-hih character of the work on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, we give the following table of distances between the stations on the Central Pacific Railroad, and their elevations above the sea: Distance. Elevation. Miles. Feet. Sacramento 54 Arcade 7 70 Antelope 15 180 Junction 18 189 Rocklin 22 209 Pino 25 420 Newcastle 81 930 Auburn 36 1,385 Clipper Gap 42 1,785 Colfax 62 2.44S Gold Run 65 3,245 Dutch Flat 67 3,425 Alta 69 3,625 Cisco 93 5,911 Summit 105 7,042 This table strikingly illustrates the magni tude of the work necessary to carry a rail road across the Sierra Nevada, and the reader will readily believe that the road is entitled to rank among the most remarkable achievements of science and labor combined. The elevation which it surmounts exceeds that of all but one of th passes of the Alps, and is the greatest yet reached by any rail road in the world. Coffee. The physical effects of coffee are well known; it accelerates the circulation of the blood, but sometimes causes palpitation of the heart and giddiness. It has even been thought to occasion apoplexy and paralysis. Nevertheless, cle brated writers such as Fontenelle and Voltaire made constant use of it, almost to an abuse. They were told, it is a slow poison; it was, in deed, glow for these learned men, who died , one at a hundred, the other eighty-four years of age. However, at the present time cotTee is a bever age whose powor over our intellectu al or moral habits has, perhaps, never been calculated as it deserves, since it has become general, and almost suppressed the drunkenness which disgraced our ancestors at the end of their grand repasts. Virey. A telegraphic short hand has been invented by Captain Bui ton. an Englishman. Hon. Amory Holbrook. At a meeting of the members of the Bar of the State of Oregon, in at tendance upon the Supreme Court held at Salem, upon the 27tn day of September, 1866, William Strong was chosen chairman and Richard Williams Secretary. It was announced that the meet ing was called to pay a suitable trib ute of respect to the memory of our late brother, Hon. Amory Holbrook, deceased, whereupon the following resolutions were nnanimously adopt ed: Resolved. That we have learned with deep regret of the death of the llo.v. Amort Holbrook, late a member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of this State. That we sor row because in his death we have lost a friend, the profession cue of its ornaments and ablest members, and the State an in fluential and public spirited citizen. That we tender to the widow aud family our sin cere condolence and sympathy under this affii ting dispensation of Div tie Provider ce which has taken from them the husband aud father. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the widow and family of the de ceasec", and another to tlie Supreme Court, now sitting, with a request that the same be entered upon the journals ot the Court. L. F. G rover was requested by the meeting to present the resolutions and proceedings to the Supreme Court. On presenting the same Mr. Gro ver made the following appropriate remarks, which, with the resolutions, were ordered spread upon the jour nals of the Court. Mr. Grover said: " Our departed brother of the profession was, I be lieve, a native of Massachusetts. He was a graduate of Bowdo'm College, Maine; of the Clas of 1842, in which he was marked for brilliant scholar ship. Tie studied law in Boston un der the instruction of that eminent lawyer, Rufus Choate. " Having been appointed District Attorney of the United States for the Territory of Oregon, he came to this country in that capacity in 1950, since which period he has been dis. tinguished among us as a lawyer oi high mark, a public officer who has held many public trusts with fidelity and honor, a citizen of enterprise, and a gentleman of the most congenial social qualities. " It is no higher praice than de served to say, that, in the death of Amory Holbrook, Oregon has lost one of its best minds and the Bar one of its most brilliant ornaments." Mississippi Levees. The estiraas ted amount necessary to repair the broken levees of the Mississippi riv er, and reclaim the productive cotton and sugar lands submerged by over flows, is nearlv four million dollars. Generel Humphrey figures the cost, and places the Arkansas leeves at $i,2-0 000; thoe of Louisiana at S1.-200.00U; and those of Mississippi at $1,500,000. Total, $3,900,000. Louisiana made the effort, from her own resources, to accomplish the work within her boundaries, but failed in the enterprise, no one of all the capitalists of the country show, ing any willingness to take the bonds she offered although the interest and security were considered unexcep tionable. Congress, at its last ses' sion, seemed disposed at one time to make a liberal appropriation for the purpose a million and a half, if we remember correctly which would have gone far towards the cousutn mafion of the object. It is now doubtful when this important work can be accomplished. The war left the South too much exhausted in fi. nances to undertake successfully so gigantic a labor, and it may be doubtful if the cotton prospects will justify the attempt trie present year. Another rise this Fall will probably flood these rich lands afresh and produce additional crevasses losses. Si. Louis Democrat. and Tiie Reese River Reveille de scribes a singular plunt lately found growing in the hot water of Hot Creek district. It is a delicate vine like plant, almost as fine as hair, holding myriads of tiny leaves, near ly imperceptible, and of bright emer aid green. It thrives only in water so hot that the hand cannot be borne in it. Many efforts were made, in spite of scalded hands, to gather and preserve specimens, but it was so tiny aud delicate that it was found to be impossible. The Loudon Pneumatic Dispatch, by which small parcels are transported from one part of the city to another, by means of the exhaustion of air from a tube, is familiar to our readers It appears, from a report recently made by the directors of the Pneu matic Dispatch Company, that 120 tons of goods can be transmitted through the tube every hour, and that the cost is less than one penny (two cents) per ton for each mile when completed to points outside the city. . . A Seeming Difference Only. A German statistical writer remarks that the invention of the sewing rna-s chine has enabled one woman to sew as much as a hundred could sew by hand a century ago; but, he continues, one woman now demands as much clothing as a hundred did a century ago so that matters are not so much changed after all. TwENTT-six pounds of mulberry seed has just arrived from Japan. It cost, delivered here, about eleven dollars per pound. Wilson Flint was the importer. "Caleb1' says there are serious obstacles in the way of lightning de spatches, when thev charge for thcrn like thunder.- .Caleb's right. Items by Mail. Some of the dancers of the Paris opera are paid $30,000 a year. A silk factory is about to be es tablished at San Jose, by Messrs. Neuman & Meyers. It is computed that T0G,G21 per sons enter London every day by rail and steamboat. The journeymen plasterers of San Francisco struck for the eight hour system. A recent decision in Rhode Island makes the family newspaper a ' ne cessity" which cannot be interfered with bv creditors. Bismark, the Prussian, on whom all Europeau eyes are now centered, rejoices in the name of Charles Otto von Bismark and Schonhauscn and Kniephof. Cigar-shaped railroad trains are suggested as a means of decreasing the atmospheric resistance which is said to much retard the speed of the trains built on the present plan. It is stated that about two thou sand miners are now at work in Louisa and Goochland comities, Vir ginia, and that the average is two pennyweights a day to each miner. It is said that the workmen in the silver mines of Saxony receive only thirty cents a day for their labor. Boys of Sfteen years work eight hours, aud receive twelve cents. During one month upward of one hundred telegraph poles were de stroyed between Salt Lake and the Sierra Nevada by lightning; an acci dent that had never occurred before. There are seven daily newspapers published in Boston at present, and this is but half the number that city boasted many years ago. PhiladeU phitt has eleven daily papers and New York has thirteen. The returns from the gold fields of Australia for the first six morths of the present year, compared with the corresponding period of last year. Show a decrease this year of 28,801 ounces, equal to $402,816. The yield of the precious metals in the United States for 18GG is estima ted at 885.000,000 by the American Exchange and Review of New York. The largest proportion is, of course, from Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. A steam railway is to be built to the summit of Mount Washington. Half a mile has oeen completed, and is a success. Between the rails lies a wrought-iron ladder, in which the feet of the cogged driving-wheel find a firm hold. The ascent is one foot iu three A letter from Dalton, Georgia, says that one company there took out $10,000 worth of gold from the mints n one day, and the capitalists of New York and Boston are about to ship extensive mining machinery to that place for the purpose of working the mines. We are to have a new Ocean Ca-. ble that is, an out-and-out American Cable at an early day. Books of subscription w?re opened at the Com pany's office, in Broad street. The caoital stock is $10,000,000. The route is from New York to Bermuda via Cape Charles, Va., thence to the Azores, and thence to Lisbon, in Portugal. A cotemtorary, in view of the startling and sensational heading with which some journals introduce to their readers the very meagre dispatches that come over the cable, there being generally "ten lines of head and two of tail," suggests that these sensation al messages hereafter be called " tadpole telegrams." Tiik falls ot St. Anthony are per ceptibly changing by the breaking away of the limestone edge, and re cede at the rate of about ten feet a year. The owners of the water, power have decided to check this process by the erection of inclined aprons, which will break the force of the water and conduct it away from the quicksands which in many places underlie the rock. Speaking of a young man who is in the habit of serenading young ladies of that city, the Selma Mes senger says: " For having heard him declare in tuneful strains, to each of six young ladies in one evening that she was ' all the world to him,' we can safely indorse him as tho most c harmonious lyre' of onr acquain tance." Two gentlemen in Iowa recently traded wives, one giving one thou sand five hundred dollars " to boot." The citizens were scandalized by thb proceeding, and threatened to apply the boot to him who had received the "boot," if he did not immediately leave the county with his new spouse They left, but the other couple re-mainded. Good Looks. Young men are mistaken when they think good looks their principal recommendation to women. A woman admires a hand some man for a time, but it needs something more than a good looking face to retain this feeling. A wo man is, as a general rule, more strongly drawn by the intellectual qualities of the opposite sex than by anything else. What is above said is also true of the gentler sex. A man frequently says of some belle: " Yes, she's very beautiful, but I thank heaven she isn't my wife!" Women like to be admired for their loveliness, and we do not mean to blame them for it; but it requires something more than mere beauty to enable thetu to retain their influence over men. Where It Was. After one of the late battles, as a surgeon of the Austrian army was going his rounds examining the patients, he came to a tiralleur who had been hit witnaoui Iet in the left breast, right over the region of the heart. The surgeon quite amazed at the escape of the man, exclaimed: " Why. my brave fellow, where in the name of good ness could your heart have been?'7 " I guess it must been in my mouth just then," replied the soldier, with a faint and sickly smile. -- Signs. Over the door of a house in Wilts, England, is the following: "Shoes mended according to the lat est and most approved method. Drowned persons, on application, im mediately restored, so as to prevent the complaint ever returning. N. B. The person must not be dead." Another business sign, in London, is this: "Goods removed, messags taken, carpets beaten, and poetry composed on any subject." A Little boy had lived for some time with a very penurious uncle, who was one day walking out with the child at his side, when a friend, accompanied by a grayhound, accosted him. The little fellow, never having seen a dog of so slim and slight a texture, clasped the creature round the neck, with the impassioned cry: " Oh, doggie! doggie! and div ye live wi' your uncle, tae, that vou are sae thin?" John Randolph is said, upon one occasion, to have visited a race course near the city of New York. A flash-looking stranger offered to bet him five hundred dollars upon the re sult of the race, aod introducing his companion, said: ' Mr. Randolph, my friend here, Squire Tompkins, will hold the stakes." " But, sir," squeaked the orator of Roanoke, " who will hold Tompkins after 1 give him my money?" A Yoter, deficient in personal beauty, said to Sheridan: " I mean to withdraw my countenance from you." " Many thanks for the favor," replied the candidate, " for it is tho ugliest mug I ever saw in my life." JAMES M. BI00HE, Justice of the Peace db City Recorder.
