A Lecture on the Elephant.
Ladies and gentlemen ! Allow me, this
rening, to introduce an animal called the
ilephant. He is the greatest of all tread
nil animals that helps to keep the globe
t motion.— Among the Anglo Saxons, he
i known only by'the name of elephant ;
ut with all barbarous and half civilized
atiotis he is unanimously dubbed the
iiUiphant. lie is about the size of a two
ear old omnibus, and iti color approaches
i near to a hlack as he possibly can with
it absolute infringement. To look at
im not too severely one naturally supposes
im to be a small mountain of India rub
er, or huge composition of glue and mo
isses.
The Elephant is one of the natives of
le East Indies, hut he has been met with
i various parts of Mexico, and is frequent
seen in the great city of New York. It
as been asserted upon both righteous and
rofurie authority, that he is indigenous to
diggins of California—however, the
wertion, as yet, goes a begging for con
rmation. It is mv private opinion,
lough, that the animal exhibits himself
3 travellers in all parts of the world, only
hey entertain a monstrous reluctance to
:onfessing the fact.
He carries his trunk with him wherevei
te goes, but never keeps anything in it
tot even a change of shirts. When cousin
chabod first saw him at a show, he ex
ilaimed with muto astonishment : Then
hat's the rale Menagerer—the indentical
iritter hisself! I swow would'nt two of
em make a teem to draw stun with ?
Sollv, aint he ascrouger?' Ichabod went
aome and related what he had seen. ' I
seen,' said he, 'the genuine Menagerer, the
darndest biggest lump of flesh that ever
stirred. He had tew tails, tew ; one be
hind and the other before. He put one cf
his tails in my coat pocket, and hauled out
the ginger bread—every hooter. What
d'ye think he done with it? Why he
stuck it in his own pocket, and began to
fumble for more—darn him !'
What is that which if a man has, he
would not wish to lose ? If he has not he
would not wish to have ? And which,
yhen he has gained, he has it no longer ?
3'ye give it up ? (A lawsuit.)

A very interesting fight is now going on
between the Washington Union and Phil
adelphia Ledger. The Union calls the
Ledger a guerilla sheet, and the Ledger
intimates that the editors of the Union are
blackguards and dishonorable men. We
think both are right in their opiuions.
PUBLIC OFFICES.
The New York Express is not satisfied
with the 6,000 federal offices which Gen.
Taylor ha 9 bestowed upon the Whigs, in
the face of his solemn pledges, hut threat
ens 10 seize upon 11T,00(1 more—being
what it estimates to be about one-half of
the Federal offices in the Union.— Wash.
Union.
Not quite so blood thlrstv. savs the fix
press m reply. Our principles are these :
The federal offices on the Ith of March
last were about all in locofoco hands. We
estimate the number to be 250,000
Locos removed (see the Union) 8,000
Locos left 242,000
Whigs entitled to one.half, viz: 125,000
Whigs put in office, only 8,000
Due the Whigs now 117,000
If Gen. Taylor did n>t do justice to the
117,000 yet proscribed Whigs, he would
indeed belie all his Solemn pledges.*

FROM CALIFORNIA.
The RtPamer Falcon arrived at New Or
leans from Chagres on the 4th instant.
She brought 8169,085 in specie and gold
dust, fifty 11 iree passengers, and a large
mail. She made the passage from here to
Chagres in seven days, and remained there
a week, during which time it rained inces
santly. The Isthmus is generally healthy,
though at Chagres there was much sick
ness. In an American population at that
town of thirty-five, thirty were ill or just
recovering from fever. The disease is of
malignant intermittent character.
The steamship Oregon left San Francis
co on the. 2d of July and arrived at
Panama on the 21st of tlie same month.—
On the 4tli ult. at half past 12 o'clock A.
M. she struck three times on a rock at
Port Conception. The shock was very,
great, and the vessel so much injured that
she leaked during the whole passage. At
the last accounts she was at Tobago Island
repairing damages, and will not be readv
to resume her trips before the 20th inst.
She brought down about seventy passen
gers, most of whom took passage on the
Falcon for New Orleans and New York.
Capt. Crowningshield, U. S, A., died of
apoplexy on the passage, on board the
Oregon.
At Panama there were about five hun
; dred Americans awaiting transportation.
One half of them were to leave on the
28tli ult. on the barque Tasso to sail on
j the Ist inst., and the barque Ella Francis
i to depart soon.
From a gentleman who came a pasen
; ger on the Falcon, and who is direct from
j San Francisco, we learn the following in
j teresting particulars:
The stories ol Gen. Smith having to go
on board a vessel of war, in conseouence
( of a trouble with the residents, is all false.
Gen. Smith was well, universally respect
ed and very popular. He had moved his
headquarters from San Francisco to Sono
ra, which is about seventy miles from tho
former place. The health of San Francis
co was good, and the inhabitants of the
town much more orderly and quiet than
could be anticipated. The gamblinghous
es arc all closed on Sundays, and the work
of all kinds suspended, although labor is
worth §lO to §ls per day.
Theie were four churches already built,
and another was expected soon to arrive
there. There were about two thousand
cloth tents about the town. The Ameri
cans residing in the city were mostly
highly respectable. Occasionally there
was some slight difficulty between the
Americans and the Malays. The market
was overstocked with goods—dry goods
and clothing selling for less than in the
States. Houses and lumber were very
high, and sold readily. A house that in
the States cost S4OO, and was forty bv
twenty feet, would sell for $2500, and
would co6t S7OO to put it up. There
were fifty or sixty cargoes of goods; re
maining unsold at San Francisco. Gold
was plenty; large quantities of it were
coming in every day. It was selling for
sls per ounce rash, or SlOin goods.—
The quantity of gold was considered in
exhaustible. There were no troops in San
Francisco, and none were needed.
It is announced that Jourt B. tVuttER,
of Ohio, has been superceded as commis
sioner to run the Boundary Line with Mex
ico, by the appointment of the late Col.
JOHN C. FREMONT to take charge of the
Commission. Subsequent to Mr Weller's
appointment, an appropriation of $50,000
was made by Congress for the operation
of the fiscal year, in adjusting this Bounda
ry Line between the United States and
Mexico, and Mr. V\ eller, it stems, drew
upon the Department for more than $30,-
000 of this amount before he reached Pan
ama, and had actually received more than
$20,000. His last drafts for ten or elev
en thousand dollars were respectfully de
clined by the Department, on the ground
that no satisfactory account had been re
ceived of the previous expenditure, and
the Department did not choose to exhaust
all the resources provided forthe year,
before discovering some practical pplica
tion of the means to the object contempla
ted by the law.
PLEASURES OF A CALIFORNIA TRIF.—A
correspondent of the A". Y. writ
ing from Chihuahua, under date of the -Jih
May says : Since I started we have been
near starving three times—once for pro
visions, and twice for water. Once wo
were live days without water ar.d once
three ; we were siv days without anything
to eat except a few snakes and hawks which
we found on the road and shot. Moreover,
we have had two hard fights with the In
dians—h*d two of our men killed and
eight wopnded. My bed is made nightly
on the ground ; that 19, I Bleep on one blan
ket and c >ver with another. 1 live on dried
beef and venison, with coffee and bread
ol my own making. I work hard, drivo
mules, kill and butcher deer, physic the
company, fight the Indians, and trade with
the Mexicans for corn, flour and beef. *
* * My spirits are low and my hopes
are flagging.
He iare of little expenses; a small leak
